Chapter Nine Hundred and Eighty Third Big Play Staged

"Jiuding Industrial Group?"

Norman Shi Yahuai frowned and muttered the name, vaguely remembering that he had seen Jiuding Industrial Group as a shareholder of the Hong Kong Airport Ground Service Company.

But it was a long time ago, and he was mainly focusing on the affairs of the parent company and the first-level subsidiary, and he didn't pay much attention to the third-level subsidiary such as the Hong Kong Airport Ground Handling Service Company, so his memory was very vague.

He asked his nephew Wade, "When did Jiuding Industrial Group enter this company?"

Wade Shi Yahuai immediately explained: "Uncle, this is a long time ago. The 15% equity held by Jiuding Industrial Group originally belonged to Hutchison Whampoa, and Hutchison Whampoa was later acquired by Jiuding Consortium. "

Norman Shi Yahuai showed a sudden look.

He thought for a while and then asked: "According to daily observations, does Jiuding Industrial Group have any actions or tendencies?"

Wade Shi Yahuai pondered for a long time, then shook his head and said, "No, although Jiuding Industrial Group holds a lot of shares, it has no strong sense of presence. Except for the dispatch of directors and financial supervisors, it almost ignores the company's operations, even if it is a board of directors. , as long as the proposal is for the development of the company, they will agree."

Hearing what his nephew said, Norman Shi Yahuai's brows still did not stretch, but the suspicion in his heart became stronger.

"If Bao Yugang just wants to strengthen strategic cooperation, he only needs equity, and he doesn't necessarily have to buy it from us. With the relationship between the Chinese, it is definitely easier to acquire, why should he find us?"

After thinking for a long time, Norman Shi Yahuai found a doubt.

Wade Shi Yahuai was stunned for a while, and his face instantly became solemn. He immediately said, "Uncle, I came too in a hurry. I was only thinking of analyzing Bao Yugang's purpose, and I didn't have time to confirm the equity of the other three shareholders."

Norman Shi Yahuai instructed: "Tomorrow, you will contact the three shareholders separately, and be sure to confirm their equity status."

"There is a serious group between the Chinese, and it is difficult to guarantee whether they have colluded. You must be 100% sure."

"Try to confirm within two days. If you need assistance, just mention it to me."

Wade Shi Yahuai nodded and said, "Okay, I will do my best to check."

...

In the next two days, Wade Shi Yahuai first contacted Cao Guangbiao, who held the most shares.

According to Gars Liddell's advice, Cao Guangbiao stated that he had taken too much steps to expand the factory, resulting in tight capital and unable to repay the loan from Standard Chartered Bank. The stake in the airport ground handling company was discounted to Standard Chartered Bank.

Wade Shi Yahuai also visited the president of Hong Kong Standard Chartered Bank, Gals Liddell, to confirm the matter, and learned from Gals Liddell that Standard Chartered Bank is optimistic about the aviation market, and has held a meeting to discuss and decide to hold equity for a long time until the listing. .

For Gars Liddell's words, Wade Shi Yahuai believed 90%, and invited him to look for candidates to join the company's board of directors.

Then he found the Huo Group to confirm the shareholding information, and learned that the equity of the Xiangjiang Airport Ground Service Company held by the Huo Group had been pledged by the bank, and he also saw the pledge loan contract.

In the end, Wade Shi Yahuai found Jiuding Industrial Group.

Unexpectedly, Jiuding Industrial Group directly admitted that the equity has been transferred to Bao Yugang. It was so straightforward and frank that Wade Shi Yahuai was messed up on the spot. After reading the equity transfer contract to confirm the matter, he hurriedly returned to the family and reported to his uncle Norman Shi Yahuai. this matter.

That night, in the living room of the Shi Yahuai family villa.

After listening to Wade Shi Yahuai's detailed report, Norman Shi Yahuai frowned slightly, and kept replaying the information in his mind, trying to find some connections.

He always felt that something was wrong, it seemed to be a coincidence.

Cao Guangbiao's equity was transferred to Standard Chartered Bank at this time. According to Gars Liddell, no candidate has been selected, so he did not connect with the Hong Kong Airport Ground Service Company.

Norman Shi Yahuai has no doubts about Huo Yingdong's equity pledge, because according to his nephew Wade, he saw the pledge loan contract with his own eyes. Six days, so far more than a year.

He didn't think that the mortgage loan contract would be fake.

After all, Huo Yingdong's relationship with the mainland is well known. Heungkong Bank of China is more likely to take risks than other banks to accept the equity pledge of the unlisted Heungkong Airport ground handling service company.

"Standard Chartered Bank..."

Everything about Standard Chartered Bank flashed through Norman Schwarzwald's mind, and he thought of his business dealings with Standard Chartered Bank, as well as his friendly personal relationship with Gals Liddell.

After a long time, Norman Shi Yahuai found the phone book, picked up the phone, and dialed Gars Liddell's house.

On the phone, Garth Liddell behaved as usual, with the same enthusiasm for Norman Schwarzwald, and extended him an invitation to a party.

As for Norman Shi Yawai's inquiry, Gals Liddell "told the truth" and said that he is optimistic about the aviation market. If Swire Group wants to expand vigorously in the aviation field, he will provide greater preferential policies and support than HSBC. We hope that the two sides will strengthen cooperation...

After chatting, the topic ran away directly, involving the competition between Standard Chartered Bank and HSBC, as well as the win over Swire Group and Norman Shi Yahuai.

This enthusiasm and attitude of Gars Liddell dispelled Norman Schwarzwald's doubts about Standard Chartered Bank.

"It seems that I think too much. The cooperation between Taikoo and Standard Chartered is so deep, it is impossible for Gars Liddell to cheat me..."

Conclusion After Gars Liddell's call, Norman Shi Yahuai's only doubt was that Bao Yugang acquired the equity held by Jiuding Industrial Group.

He thought for a while, and instructed Wade Shi Yahuai: "Wade, you call Bao Yugang now and ask him directly if he has this matter."

Wade Shi Yahuai responded, then turned to the number in the phone book and dialed it directly.

After more than ten seconds, the call was connected, and Bao Yugang's rich voice came from the microphone.

"This is Bao's house, who is it?"

Wade Shi Yahuai said with a smile: "Mr. Bao, good evening, I'm Wade Shi Yahuai, I'm sorry to disturb you so late!"

Bao Yugang's enthusiastic voice immediately came from the receiver: "It turned out to be Mr. Wade Shi Yahuai. I won't bother you at all. I'm glad to receive your call."

"What's the matter with you? Have you made up your mind?"

Wade Shi Yahuai replied: "Let's not talk about that matter, I have something I want to confirm with you."

"Did you acquire the equity of the Hong Kong Airport Ground Service Company held by Jiuding Industrial Group?"

After asking, Wade Shi Yahuai held his breath, looked up at his uncle Norman Shi Yahuai, and found that he was squinting and leaning forward slightly towards the phone.

There was silence on the other end of the phone for three seconds. .

Just when Wade Shi Yahuai thought that Bao Yugang would make a sophistry, Bao Yugang's calm words came from the receiver: "So you already know, yes, I bought the equity held by Jiuding Industrial Group."

Wade Shi Yahuai and Norman Shi Yahuai's uncle and nephew looked at each other and fell silent...
