Chapter 355: Leighton Company
"I remember who he was, but why is he here? Could it be that Saleen has so much influence that he can make a special trip to this dinner? ”
Su Peng glanced at Lu Kevin, who had become the center of the dinner over there, and said to the short white man beside him.
"Hehe, you don't know the way, Lu Kewen also lives in our community and is our neighbor."
Beside Su Peng, a lady in her thirties wore a red evening dress and walked over and said.
Su Peng and the short white man beside him both nodded slightly to this lady, just now Su Peng was introduced by Kirke, and knew that this lady was the wife of the chairman of a leading medicinal material company in Kirke's circle.
"He also lives in our community?"
Hearing this community, Su Peng was slightly stunned, this is really new news.
"Yes, although Ruckervin sometimes seems a little stubborn, but in fact he is still a good person, I am a neighbor with his family, the distance is only two hundred meters, you know, the climate here in Canberra can be a little abnormal at times, in winter there will be ice rain and light snow, I have seen him remove snow for his own car."
The lady said to Su Peng, then looked left and right, lowered her voice slightly, and said: "Actually, I still admire Lu Kewen very much, in addition to being a successful politician, he is also a good father. ”
"Good father? I think every man with children here is a very good father. ”
Listening to this lady's words, the little man seemed to think that this lady admired Lu Kewen too much, and said to her with some taste.
"No, that's not what I said."
The lady shook her head and whispered, "Actually, I didn't want to say it, but since I mentioned ......"
"Any special story?"
The little white man listened to what the lady said. It seemed that he was also interested in gossip, and poked his head over and asked.
"Well, in fact, you should not know that Lu Kewen has a daughter with a special disease, and his daughter has a special congenital disease, and she cannot do strenuous activities, or even laugh loudly, otherwise, her bones will ...... Click. It's like glass. ”
The lady made a broken gesture and said, "His daughter I have seen, a blonde angel, very lovely, but unfortunately suffering from this strange illness...... Moreover, her illness seems to be rare among the rare, and it cannot be cured by surgery or medication like other patients, so she can only be careful by herself. ”
"Ruerkevin loved his daughter very much. Every day, I have to push my wheelchair and take my daughter out for a walk, and I heard that he could have lived in a better house...... Ruerkevin inherited a lot of property from his father, but for the purpose of treating his daughter's illness. He sold his ancestral castle-style mansion, and the house he lived in now, although it was not bad, was much worse than their family heirloom house. ”
"I see."
The little white man listened. made a sudden realization, and then said with a sympathetic face: "In this way, he is still a qualified father." Some sacrifices should be made for the sake of the family. ”
"yes."
The lady nodded, and only after finishing up her demeanor did she say, "Of course, I didn't want to talk about other people's private affairs, but when I talked about it today, I said that I am not the kind of person who likes to gossip about other people's families." ”
"Of course."
Su Peng and the little white man immediately nodded and said to her.
The lady satisfied her interest in spreading gossip, and after saying a few more words, she saw the acquaintance who had just arrived, said goodbye to Su Peng and the little white man, and walked over to chat with the acquaintance.
"It seems that everywhere in the world, gossip is indispensable...... Even the future Prime Minister of Australia will not escape. ”
After watching the lady leave, she joined the new group of people, and then continued to watch Lu Kevin say something, the little man said with emotion.
Su Peng shrugged, there are people who like to gossip about others everywhere in this world, but it's okay, and he also let himself know more information.
At this time, Kirke, who had just been pulled over by a friend to chat alone, suddenly walked over.
"How? Sue, are you still adapting? I see that you feel like a fish in water for this kind of scene. Seeing Su Peng walking here, Kirk said to Su Peng with a smile.
Su Peng smiled slightly and said, "It's okay." ”
"Come, Sue, I'll introduce you to a few friends."
Kirk greeted Su Peng, Su Peng nodded, and he and the small white man beside him walked into a small circle together.
The people in this circle seem to be a little more advanced than the people introduced to Su Peng by Kirk just now, which can be seen from the dress.
The people that Kirke introduced to Su Peng just now are all wearing suits and ties, and they are dressed more clearly, although they look formal, but they are somewhat restrained, and at this time, most of the people introduced by Kirk to Su Peng are wearing casual clothes or other home clothes.
It's not that they can't afford to wear more advanced clothes, on the contrary, each of them has a very relaxed expression on their faces.
Su Peng looked at their mental temperament and understood that these are really powerful people, and only if they are really worth and have the strength can they be so leisurely in this inconspicuous dress in this dinner party where the participants are not low.
Because of the strength of these people, there is no need for clothing to mark.
"Sue, let me introduce you, this is Justin, this is Hepburn, this is Ahmadinejad, this is Walter. Sue, our new neighbor. ”
Kirk introduced three people to Su Peng, and all three of them expressed friendship to Su Peng, nodded to Su Peng in a friendly manner, and stretched out their hands in turn.
Su Peng also shook hands with the three of them, but he found that Hepburn and Ahmadinejad were fine, and the man named Justin seemed to be a little absent-minded.
However, Su Peng was not superficial enough to think that the other party was behaving abnormally, so he must have despised and despised himself, but this Justin seemed to have a bitter expression on his face.
It wasn't just Su Peng who discovered this, but Kirk also saw that this person seemed to have something on his mind, so he asked, "Justin, my friend." Did something happen to you? Why are you so worried? ”
"Justin's got in a little trouble, maybe you can help him, Kirk."
Listening to Kirk's words, the man named Hepburn next to him spoke.
"We're all friends, if there's any problem, you can say it, what do you say, Justin?"
Kirk listened, and immediately said to Justin.
"Hey. Maybe you won't be able to help with this. Justin said, though, he still said why.
"Here's the thing, you know, I've been holding shares in several companies for a long time, and one of them had a big problem, and although the stock hasn't fallen to the bottom yet, it's not very good. According to my insiders, the company may soon face a break in the capital chain, in which case I don't get all the shares out of the bank. It's dangerous. ”
Justin said to Su Peng and the others.
"What company's stock? How much do you hold? ”
Listening to Justin's words, Kirk groaned for a while and asked Justin.
"It's Layton shares, and that company shares are $98 a share. I hold 1.2 million shares, worth more than $100 million. ”
Justin said with a sad face.
"Leighton Company, is that Leighton Company that makes arms?"
Listened to Justin's words. Kirk frowned slightly and asked Justin.
Su Peng listened, and his eyebrows moved.
He knew that the Leighton Company, which was Australia's fourth-largest arms company, and when Su Peng was buying guns in a gun shop, he had seen their company's Layton 2000 classic shotgun.
Foreign arms companies can be listed directly on the stock market, and they are not as strict as those controlled by China, and it is not a very big deal to buy shares of arms companies in foreign countries.
"Impossible...... A few years ago, Leighton's performance was still very good, and the stock more than doubled...... How do you ...... now?" Kirk said with a deep groan, touching his chin with his hand, as if in thought.
"Alas, Leighton is actually quite good, and a few years ago they launched several classic weapons that made their company's stock rise...... Their company's share was the highest, once rising to $142 a share. ”
"But that was a few years ago, a few years ago, I bought the stock when Leighton was nearing its peak, and I bought 1.3 million shares at that time, which I bought at $118, and then I sold 100,000 shares in bulk and went out, probably recovering millions of dollars."
"I was looking for the company, and I was going to hold the stock for the long term, and I was going to become a board member, and I even wanted to pass it on...... But I didn't expect that after 09 years, Leighton Company developed several works in a row, although it was not a failure, but their weapons were very similar to those produced by other companies, and both the cost and the measured data were completely surpassed by hostile companies. ”
"I suspect that this is a leak of their internal information, but there is no evidence, this company has spent a lot of money because of the development of weapons, and its cash flow has fallen into a crisis, and it has only relied on the classic design of the past few years to maintain."
"Actually, I still have confidence in this company, Leighton still has strength, but who would have thought ...... Their cash flow is so broken. ”
"It was only a few days ago that I received an invitation from the board of directors of Leighton to attend the meeting, and I realized that they wanted to raise money on the board of directors again so that they could tide over the difficulties."
"However, I invested in this company to make money, and although they may continue to be brilliant if they get through it, the fact is that they have started to make me lose money."
"What I'm thinking about now is, am I going to sell the shares of Leighton, or do I continue to transfer money from somewhere else to inject capital into Leighton?"
Justin said with a headache.
He didn't notice that when he said these things, Su Peng's eyes lit up...... (To be continued......)
