Chapter 355 Layton Company

"I recall who he was, but why did he appear here? Could it be that Salin had such great influence that he could make a special trip to this dinner?"

Su Peng glanced at Lu Erkewen who had become the center of the dinner party on that side and said to the short white man beside him.

"Haha, you don't know yet. Lurkwen also lives in our community and is our neighbor."

Next to Su Peng, a lady in her thirties walked over and said, wearing a red evening dress.

Su Peng and the short white man around him both nodded slightly to show the lady. After Su Peng introduced it to Kirk, he knew that this lady was the wife of the chairman of the Medicinal Materials Company, one of the top in Kirk's circle.

“He lives in our community too?”

When Su Peng heard about this community, he was slightly stunned. This was really new news.

"Yes, although Lurkwen sometimes seems a little stubborn, he is actually a good person. My family and I are neighbors, and the distance is only 200 meters. You also know that the climate here in Canberra is sometimes abnormal. It will rain and snow in winter. I have seen him remove snow for his car."

The lady said to Su Peng, then looked around, 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 here with children is a good father."

After hearing the lady's words, the little man seemed to think that the lady admired Lurkwen too much and said to her.

"No, that's not what I mean."

The lady shook her head and whispered: "Actually, I didn't want to say it, but since I mentioned it..."

"Is there any special story?"

The little white man, after hearing what the lady said, seemed to have become interested in gossip and asked over and asked.

"Well, you shouldn't know that Lu Kewen has a daughter with a special disease. His daughter suffers from a special congenital disease. She cannot do violent activities or even laugh loudly. Otherwise, her bones will...Crack. It's like glass."

The lady made a broken gesture and said, "I have seen his daughter, a blond angel, who is very cute, but unfortunately, she suffered from this strange disease... Moreover, her disease seems to be rare and cannot be cured by surgery or medication like other patients. She can only be careful."

"Luerkewen loves his daughter very much. He always pushes his wheelchair and takes his daughter for a walk every day. He also heard that he originally lived in a better house...Luerkewen inherited a lot of property from his father, but in order to cure his daughter, he sold his ancestral castle-style mansion. Although the house he lives in is not bad, it is much worse than their family-born ancient mansion."

"So that's how it is."

The small white man heard this and made a sudden realization, then said with sympathy: "In this way, he is still a qualified father. He should make some sacrifices for his family."

"yes."

The lady nodded, and finally sorted out her demeanor and said, "Of course, I didn't want to talk about other people's private affairs, but when I talked about this today, I said, I'm not the kind of person who likes to talk about other people's gossip."

"certainly."

Su Peng and the little white man nodded immediately and said to her.

The lady satisfied her interest in spreading gossip. After saying a few more words, she saw a newly arrived acquaintance saying goodbye to Su Peng and the small white man, and walked over to chat with her acquaintance.

"It seems that gossip is indispensable anywhere in the world... Even the future Australian Prime Minister cannot escape."

After watching the lady leave, she joined a new group of people, and then continued to look at what Lu Kewen said, the small man said with emotion.

Su Peng shrugged. There are people who like to talk about other people's gossip in this world, but it also helped him learn more about information.

At this moment, Kirk, who was just pulled over by a friend to chat alone, suddenly walked over.

"How is it? Su, are you still adapting? I see you seem to be in water with 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 on, Su, I'll introduce you to a few friends."

Kirk greeted Su Peng, and Su Peng nodded. He and the small white man around him walked into a small circle together.

The people in this circle seem to be more advanced than the people Kirk introduced to Su Peng just now, which can be seen from the clothes.

The people Kirk introduced to Su Peng just now were all wearing suits and ties, dressed up more concisely. Although they looked formal, they felt somewhat restrained. At this time, most of the people Kirk introduced to Su Peng were wearing casual clothes or other home clothes.

This is not because they can't afford to wear more advanced clothing, on the contrary, each of them has a very relaxed expression on their faces.

After seeing their mental state, Su Peng understood that these are truly powerful people. Only with real value can they be so leisurely in this dinner where participants are worth a lot of money.

Because of the strength of these people, there is no need to dress to mark them.

"Su, let me introduce you to this one, this one is Justin, this one is Hepburn, this one is Ahmadinejad, this one is Walter Sue, our new neighbor."

Kirk introduced three people to Su Peng. All three of them expressed their friendship with Su Peng, nodded friendly to Su Peng, and stretched out their hands in turn.

Su Peng also shook hands with the three people, but he found that Hepburn and Ahmadinejad were fine, and the man named Justin seemed a little absent-minded.

However, Su Peng is not so superficial that he thinks that the other party is acting abnormally, so he must be despising himself. However, this Justin seems to have some depressed expression on his face.

It was not only Su Peng who discovered this. Kirk also saw that this person seemed to have something to do, so he asked, "Justin, my friend. Did something happen to you? Why are you so frowning?"

"Justin's got a little trouble, maybe you can help him, Kirk."

After hearing Kirk's words, the man named Hepburn next to him spoke.

"We are all friends. If you have any questions, you can tell me, what are you talking about, Justin?"

After hearing this, Kirk immediately said to Justin.

"Hey. Maybe you can't help with this matter." Justin said, but he still told the reason.

"This is the thing. You know, I have been holding stocks of several companies for a long time. One of them has a big problem. Although the stock has not fallen to the bottom yet, it is not very good. According to my internal news, this company may face a break in the capital chain in the near future. In that case, if I don't throw all the stocks out, it will be dangerous."

Justin said to Su Peng and others.

"What company's stocks? How many do you hold?"

After hearing Justin's words, Kirk pondered for a while and asked Justin.

"It's the stock of Layton Company, and that company's stock is 98 Australian dollars per share. I own one and two million shares, worth more than one hundred million Australian dollars."

Justin said frowningly.

"Lyton Company, is the Lyton Company that makes arms?"

After hearing Justin's words, Kirk frowned slightly and asked Justin.

When Su Peng heard this, his eyebrows also moved.

He knew that Leiden Company was the fourth largest arms company in Australia. When Su Peng was buying guns in the gun store, he had seen the Leiden 2000 classic shotgun in their company's soundstage.

Foreign arms companies can be listed directly, not as strict as China's control. It is not a big deal to buy shares of arms companies in foreign countries.

"Impossible... Layton's performance was still very good a few years ago, and the stock has more than doubled... How about now..." Kirk touched his chin with his hand, as if he was thinking, and said in contemplation.

"Oh, Layton is actually pretty good. A few years ago, it launched several classic weapons to make their company's stocks rise... Their company's stocks are the highest, once rising to 142 Australian dollars per share."

"But that was a few years ago. I bought stocks a few years ago when Leiden was approaching its peak. I bought 1.3 million shares at that time, and bought them at 118 yuan. Then I sold 100,000 shares in a scattered manner, probably recycling several million Australian dollars."

"I was in the prospects of this company at that time, and I planned to hold stocks for a long time, become a member of the board of directors, and even planned to transfer this stock... But unexpectedly, after 2009, Leiden Company developed several works in succession. Although it was not a failure, their weapons were very similar to those produced by other companies, and they were completely surpassed by hostile companies in terms of cost and actual measured data."

"I doubt that this is their internal information leak, but there is no evidence. The company spent a lot of money on weapon development and its cash flow was in crisis. In recent years, it has only been maintaining its classic design."

"Actually, I still have confidence in this company. Leiden Company is still powerful, but who would have thought... their cash flow was broken so much."

"I only received a few days ago from Leiden's board invitation to the directors and attended the meeting. I realized that they wanted to raise funds on the board of directors to help them get through the difficulties."

"But I invested in this company to make money. Although they may continue to be brilliant if they overcome difficulties, but now, they are already starting to lose money."

"What I'm thinking now is, should I sell the shares of Leighton, or continue to move some money from other places and inject capital into Leighton?"

Justin said with a headache.
