Chapter 222: Chapter 222 Jiamei Company_1

"Alright, you don’t have to worry about this, I’ll think of something else," Shen Dong mused.

Obviously, having Luo Cheng’an negotiate was no longer viable.

Luo Cheng’an had many matters to attend to as well, so it was better to handle this difficult task personally.

After ending the call, Shen Dong pondered how to get the shareholders of Lijing Group to transfer their shares, contemplating possible strategies.

Maybe it’s worth checking if those shareholders have other businesses? See if there’s a possibility of exchanging interests?

If those shareholders do have other businesses, there might be potential for mutual benefit.

After all, he now possessed the Dongyan Guild, a powerful promotional tool, Shuidilao, a rapidly growing company, and a gaming company.

Shen Dong felt this was an opportunity to break through.

Just as he was preparing to call Luo Cheng’an to have him investigate the backgrounds of those shareholders, his phone rang.

Looking at the caller ID, it was Han Deming.

Speaking of which, since the last celebration party for "The Battle Tiger," they hadn’t been in contact for quite some time.

"Mr. Han, good afternoon," Shen Dong answered the phone.

Hearing Shen Dong still calling him "brother," Han Deming couldn’t help but feel touched.

The Shen Dong of today was very different from the man he had first met, a verified billionaire.

Being called "brother" by a billionaire flattered him greatly.

It also showed that Shen Dong was a man of sentiment, one who wouldn’t look down on past friends due to changes in wealth and status.

Collecting his thoughts, Han Deming smiled and said, "Mr. Shen, good afternoon, I’m calling you because there’s something I want to discuss."

"Go ahead," Shen Dong said.

"Recently, I came across an investment project that I think has potential, and I wondered if you might be interested in investing," Han Deming said with a laugh.

"What project?" Shen Dong inquired.

Han Deming’s choice of projects was likely to be special.

Han Deming himself had a knack for investment.

From their previous few meetings and conversations, Shen Dong knew that Han Deming’s investments over the years had been quite successful, earning him tens of millions.

Don’t think that earning tens of millions is easy; making money in the investment world is quite difficult. Many investment firms lose money on numerous projects, with only a rare few making a profit.

Take Wang Xiaocong for example. He invested in many projects, most of which lost money, with only a rare few being profitable, leading to an overall loss.

Even Wang Xiaocong, the scion of a wealthy family, faced losses in investment, highlighting how difficult it is to make money from investing.

Consider that Han Deming did not have a system.

If Shen Dong didn’t have the system, he certainly wouldn’t be able to compare with Han Deming.

The fact that Han Deming could make money meant he must be an investment expert.

Therefore, Shen Dong was quite interested in the investment projects Han Deming favored.

"Brother Shen Dong, I’ve set my sights on a company in the beauty industry," Han Deming said.

Shen Dong’s brows rose.

He wanted to acquire Lijing Group, which also worked in the beauty industry.

The system had provided analysis on the beauty industry as well.

As the standard of living for people increased, not just women but also many men paid attention to beauty and grooming, using skincare and cosmetics products.

More and more people were joining the ranks of beauty product users.

The domestic beauty industry had a large market, exceeding a trillion in the future.

I just don’t know which beauty company Han Deming is interested in, could it possibly be Lijing Group?

If it’s Lijing Group, I’m afraid there’s no chance, even I wasn’t able to successfully acquire their shares at a premium, let alone Han Deming.

Thinking of this, Shen Dong asked, "Mr. Han, I’ve also read some analysis reports on the beauty industry recently, which beauty company are you interested in? If it’s suitable, I’ll invest."

"Really?" Han Deming said excitedly, "Let me tell you, the company I’m interested in has very strong technology, it just doesn’t understand how to run a business and has fallen in competition. I’m very optimistic about the development of this company; as long as the management is sorted out, there will be absolutely no problem. Right now, the company’s cash flow is almost cut off, and it urgently needs financing. We happen to be investing, I found a few investors to join in, but currently, the funds are still far from enough, it depends on whether you are willing to invest."

"Mr. Han, please tell me first what company it is, I need to check some information," said Shen Dong.

You can’t just take Han Deming’s word for it. You have to investigate first.

If it truly is a good company, then definitely invest.

Now I have the money; I just need to find an investment target, spend the money to make more money.

Although I can invest the money in the stock market and futures market, when there’s too much money, it sometimes is not so easy to operate in the secondary market.

Better to invest in buying shares instead.

Once you get the shares, you don’t have to worry much and just wait for others to make money for you.

"The company is based in Guang City, called Jiamei Cosmetics Company. How about this, I’ll send you the basic information of the company and some analysis, and you can get to know it in detail," Han Deming said.

"Okay," nodded Shen Dong.

He felt that this company was somewhat familiar, but he couldn’t recall it all of a sudden.

Ending the call, Shen Dong returned to Chen Yuyan’s office, took out a laptop, logged into his email, and downloaded the files sent by Han Deming.

He opened the file and started reading.

Halfway through, Shen Dong finally realized why the company felt familiar.

The information from the system said that Lijing Group was successful in going public because it had acquired Jiamei Cosmetics Company and obtained its technology.

It was by relying on the technology of Jiamei Cosmetics Company to develop new beauty products that it grew rapidly and became an industry giant with a market value of a hundred billion within just four years.

Shen Dong couldn’t help but hit his own head with his hand.

If he couldn’t acquire Lijing Group, why didn’t he think of directly acquiring Jiamei Cosmetics Company?

He had overlooked this point.

Since Lijing Group went public after acquiring Jiamei Cosmetics Company, it means that all of Lijing Group’s future development relied on the acquisition.

Since acquiring Lijing Group isn’t possible, one could just acquire Jiamei Cosmetics Company instead.

This would be equivalent to cutting off the foundation of Lijing Group, and in the future, it might not become a company with a market value of a hundred billion.

In Han Deming’s report, it was also mentioned that Jiamei Company merely suffered from poor management, which led to the company’s difficulties.

In this aspect, Shen Dong had a strong advantage.

The Dongyan Guild could handle promotion, and he had connections in the film circle, so he could find people to promote it.

Moreover, he could also have it sell products through live streaming in the Dongyan Guild.

After all, there was no problem with the beauty products developed by Jiamei Cosmetics Company.

He blamed himself for being negligent; if not for Han Deming’s call, he might have really missed out on a piece of the beauty industry’s pie.

By the end, Shen Dong also discovered that Lijing Group had already sent people to negotiate with Jiamei Cosmetics Company, preparing for an acquisition.

He had to act immediately, absolutely couldn’t let Lijing Group make the acquisition.

Even if it meant spending more money, he had to acquire Jiamei Cosmetics Company.

The current market value of Jiamei Cosmetics Company was only ten billion, besides the shares Han Deming invested in, he could take care of the rest.

Thinking of this, Shen Dong immediately dialed Han Deming’s number.
