Two months ago, Gao Weilin had paid a visit, hoping to purchase a portion of Jingdongfang's equity. Since Orange Technology was a major client, Wang Dongsheng had his subordinates welcome Gao Weilin warmly, but he still politely declined to sell any shares.
Later, the representative for securities affairs discovered that a third-party investment firm was buying up Jingdongfang's A-shares in small, separate batches. After some investigation, they learned it was Senlian Capital.
Wang Dongsheng didn't think much of it at the time. They were publicly traded shares, after all, and Senlian Capital's buying spree had even pushed Jingdongfang's stock price up by a few points.
But who could have known? In the blink of an eye, they had leveraged their connection to Meng Yuanzhi, buying a 3% stake from Luzhou City Construction and another 3% from Xin City International. Just like that, they became Jingdongfang's third-largest shareholder.
