Chapter 356: Su Peng's Thoughts

When Justin and the others mentioned this matter, they didn't pay too much attention to Su Peng.

Among them, Su Peng is an Asian on the one hand, although there is no racial discrimination in this circle, but it is indeed more difficult for a person of different colors to break into this circle, on the other hand, they just regard Su Peng as Kirke's ordinary friend, and Kirke's this

There are many 'ordinary' friends.

Su Peng didn't pay much attention to what they were talking about until he talked about Leighton Company.

The name of Leighton Company seemed to light up a lamp, which lit up Su Peng's mind.

He was thinking about whether his 500 million US dollars should be exchanged for influence in reality, because money is just dead money, and only when it is spent out, it brings enjoyment, exchanges various materials, and brings power and influence to himself, can it be regarded as a real spending.

It's just that he hasn't figured out what kind of industry is better to invest in.

And now that he heard what Justin said about Layton Company, Su Peng suddenly felt his heart brighten, and felt that this was a company that met his investment requirements.

Su Peng has a few companies in his heart that he will invest in, and he has a few requirements.

First, the company must be a well-run company, which can ensure that your investment will not be wasted within a few years.

Second, the company needs to have a certain amount of influence, both politically and in terms of its operational capabilities and intelligence capabilities.

There is a third point......

In terms of political influence, China Mobile, PetroChina and other state-owned enterprises are not to mention, at least they should be like fierce bulls, Baba Ali such enterprises, or weaker than them, Baba Ali's Niu Yun tens of thousands of employees are eating with him, and paying profits and taxes every year is enough to rebuild a small town, in short, the local government departments should consider it, right?

This is still in China. In capitalist society, this influence will be doubled, Coca-Cola, the largest shareholder of Ford Motor, can go directly to the White House to find the president if necessary, can O'Dark Horse meet to understand the situation?

As for operational strength and intelligence strength...... Take Baba Ali as an example, Niu Yun even knows all over the country, which province and city has the largest female cup, how much useful information do you say his Baba Ali and its website have?

Another example is BMW's headquarters in Hamburg. I don't know much about the level of security in the factory where the blueprints are placed, but it's almost certain that if you can steal the blueprints from there, you can go to the White House and steal the president's suitcase for a nuclear bomb launcher.

These are strengths.

It just so happens that Leighton Company meets these requirements.

In terms of business conditions, listening to what Justin said, Leighton Company is still operating. The danger is that the cash flow will be temporarily broken, and the entire structure of the company will be okay.

In terms of influence, Leighton is Australia's fourth arms manufacturer. Whether it is in the face of the government or the violent institutions it owns, it will not be very weak, otherwise it will not be able to survive in this line of work at all.

As for the third point. is what Su Peng values the most, that is, his $500 million, which is worth spending. Ensure that the company in which he invests will be smashed with $500 million, and he will become an important person in the company, preferably the largest shareholder, and at least an important major shareholder if he takes ten steps back.

Su Peng, the total market value of Leighton Company, probably knows that it is about $5 billion, and his normal $500 million can only get about 10% of the shares, and directly acquiring Leighton shares through Merrill Lynch will definitely cause turmoil and pull up the stock price.

This will definitely make the owners of this company report a certain degree of hostility towards themselves...... Because Su Peng still doesn't know who the owner of Leighton Company is, what kind of personality he is, whether it is the supremacy of interests or power, if it is the latter, the other party enjoys the power of a giant arms company more, and his own behavior is a naked provocation, and the other party is an arms company, and the hostility of his rulers towards him will soon turn into naked violence.

And now, Leighton Company is at a delicate juncture, it urgently needs money, but it also depends on the intentions of the person who gave him money, Su Peng doesn't want to spend money and get into such a rival, perhaps, this matter can be done more beautifully.

Strive to use the least amount of money to bring the greatest benefit to yourself.

This is what Su Peng thinks in his heart.

Since he made this plan, Su Peng settled down, he was not in a hurry to talk to Justin directly about this matter at this time, first, he had not yet determined his own operation methods, and second, he didn't want too many people to know about his actions, and when he reached the circle of Justin's level, it was so big, and it was not very convenient to be targeted by people with intentions, whether it was for himself or his actions.

He just patiently listened to the conversation of a few people, looking forward to an opportunity to call Justin over alone to talk, at least to learn more about Leighton.

The opportunity was not long in coming.

After listening to Justin's story, Kirk comforted him, and then told Kirk that he didn't know anyone too powerful to eat so many stocks at once.

But he can find some friends who can keep secrets and see if anyone can do anything.

In addition, he seems to have a good relationship with the host of this dinner, Salin, who is talking to Ruervin over there, and maybe Salin has a way to help Justin out of this crisis.

After listening to Kirk's words, Justin said that he was a friend enough and hoped for a result, so Kirk nodded and left, and Su Peng also nodded with the three of them and left here.

Su Peng and Kirk said a few words, because he wanted to see Salin and the others, he had seen them all, and he still had something, so Su Peng temporarily separated from him, but Su Peng almost figured out who Kirk was.

From the conversation just now, as well as what happened from the beginning of the dinner party to now, Su Peng has understood that Kirk is the kind of person who is extremely good at managing contacts, which can be seen from the very friendly and harmonious relationship between him and various circles that obviously have some strength gaps, and it is even more obvious that those who take the initiative to come to Kirk can't talk about it, and they all flatter him a little.

To put it bluntly, this Kirk is an intermediary in the upper class, an intelligence and network broker and the like, using his good appearance and social skills to communicate up and down, and he is like a fish in water in this upper-class network in Canberra. And use the network of contacts you run to increase the value of your property.

He is good at communicating with everyone, good at synthesizing intelligence, using intelligence, and over time everyone has developed a sense of 'find Kirk if there is a problem', so that the mix has flourished.

This kind of person, when placed in the civil war, should be the mixed army unified intelligence department, in ancient times, it was called long-sleeved good dance, the eulogy for death should be added to the social activist, if it becomes a woman, it should be called a socialite or courtesan.

The most important thing for this kind of person is to maintain his social circle wide and lively, and the reason why he is so enthusiastic and active to find himself. It's because he is still an 'undeveloped' 'node', I don't know what strength and energy he has, if he sees that his energy strength is not small in the future, he will be more attentive to himself, if he himself is useless, he will soon be treated coldly, and only maintain the relationship on face.

Su Peng's previous circle knew a lot of such people, but they were not as high-grade as this Kirke. Not as professional as him, at least the socialist's rhetoric and 'sincere' expression are not as professional as him, and of course, the income cannot be compared.

For such people. Su Peng doesn't have a special good feeling, and he doesn't have any bad feelings, he is one of the few people who often appear in the circle, but experience tells Su Peng. This kind of person should not be easily offended.

Su Peng looked at Kirke, and kept talking to his master Salin and Kirk next to him on the other side, and thought in his heart.

But Su Peng's attention. Didn't stay on this person for long.

Thought he had discovered that his main target, that Justin, was already alone.

His two friends, both social stars, were pulled by several other circles to talk, and now everyone can see that Justin is sad and in a bad state, so everyone is smart to give him a private space and let him drink here by himself, but this just gives Su Peng a chance.

So Su Peng picked up the wine glass, walked over, and saw that he seemed to be talking to Justin, who seemed to be anxious and not interested in chatting, and there were a few people around who were paying attention to this side, still laughing at this Chinese for not understanding social interaction.

Su Peng didn't care about this, he took the wine glass and walked to Justin's side.

Seeing Su Peng coming over, although Justin was not in a beautiful mood, he nodded politely and said, "It's Su, right?" Friends of Kirk, I'm sorry, I'm in a bad mood today and I'm not in shape. ”

"Don't be sorry, anyone who encounters such a large amount of money may feel a little uncomfortable."

Su Peng shrugged and said, then said, "Mr. Justin, maybe you can elaborate on the confusion you are facing, and I may be able to give you some ...... What about some solutions? ”

"How? The only way now is to have one person buy the stock in my hand...... Can you? ”

Justin listened and didn't complain, but he immediately sensed that something was wrong with what he said, shook his head and said, "I'm sorry, I'm not showing off my wealth or something, it's just that I'm ...... right now."

"I understand." Su Peng waved his hands to Lu and said, "Buying your shares, this proposal may not be the best solution, but maybe there are other ways to solve it?" ”

"Oh? You mean? ”

At this time, Justin had already heard some taste, he stopped pouring wine into himself, looked up at Su Peng and said.

"For example, if there is a person at this time, you can inject capital into Leighton, so that Leighton will be revitalized, and your stock will also be preserved."

Su Peng said.

"You mean, you're ......"

Listening to Su Peng's words, Justin's eyes emitted a glimmer of hope and looked at Su Peng and said.

"Hehe, let's put it this way, I met a wealthy man who wanted to invest in Australian industries, especially some influential industries, and Leighton was one of his investment targets, but he didn't know the current situation of this company...... And I can influence his investment decisions, this rich man has more cash than you think, and if you make this investment, then you don't have to sell your stock and you're saved, aren't you? ”

Su Peng said to Justin.

"But I'd like you to give me a little bit more information so that I can judge the state of this company, you say? I think you are a person of integrity and will not give some incorrect information because of your own factors. ”

Listening to Su Peng's words, Justin frowned, he was thinking.

He only believed a small part of what Su Peng said, after all, Su Peng was the first person he knew, and he couldn't even talk about nodding his head, and he didn't know Su Peng's details and strength.

And the rich Yunyun that Su Peng said may or may not be true, or although there is such a person, Su Peng's influence on him is not as strong as he said.

After all, this is called Walter. Sue's Asian is just an ordinary friend brought by Kirke, and everyone knows what kind of person Kirk is, and he will never endorse this young Asian man.

But on the other hand, even if what the other party says is not true, it will not affect you much.

If the other party really wants to invest in Leighton, then they will definitely not make a judgment because of what they say, and they will definitely find a professional investment bank or a business intelligence organization to buy more reliable information.

His own information is just supporting evidence.

But if it is because of his own intelligence that he facilitates this transaction, it will be beneficial to himself and harmless.

And this Walter. If Su just asks casually, then as long as he releases the news, the other party will immediately become infamous in Canberra's high-level social circles, so he can only have contact with those street gangsters and the like.

After thinking about these things clearly, Justin also let down his defense and said to Su Peng:

"What do you want to know?"

"The current situation of Leighton, the information of the head of Leighton, the financial situation of Leighton, and any information that you think is important."

Su Peng said to her.

"The current state of Leighton...... There is not much difference from what I said before, they have developed several weapons in a row that are not failures, but compared with their peers, they are not excellent weapons, and their company is in trouble. ”

"The head of Leighton...... They are called Leighton Company, and the helmsman is also surnamed Leighton, a big family that existed before World War II. Leighton, a seventy-seven-year-old man, is very shrewd and capable, very aggressive, very desire for control and power, but absolutely sober and shrewd, it is he who has developed Leighton Company to its current scale. ”

"Still, Manson. Layton retired from the helm in 08, due to physical reasons, he had been assassinated before, and he had been shot four or five times in the body, although he did not die, but left a lot of sequelae, which he saw when he was old. ”

"And after he retired, the helm of Leighton became ......" (to be continued......

PS: I'm sorry, my relatives came to visit the house today, and I left very late, because it was too late, and the coast sent it for a while, and it was too late, so I could only change it today, and the word count would be made up tomorrow.
