Nine Hundred and Ninetieth Chapters Key Breakthrough
Central, Hong Kong Island, Chairman's Office, HSBC Tower.
Shen Bi instructed the secretary who called in: "Rand, the chairman of Swire Group, Norman Shi Yahuai, is coming soon. You can change a batch of fresh fruit as soon as possible, and bring out the best coffee and tea."
"Yes!"
Secretary Rant responded immediately, then took the fruit bowl and walked quickly outside.
Shen Bi sat on the chair, and a guess appeared in his mind.
"Is it about the equity of Cathay Pacific and Heung Kong Aircraft Engineering?"
Besides, he couldn't think of anything that Norman Shi Yahuai would come to him for in the near future.
If this is the case, then he has to prepare immediately.
...
After about eight minutes.
Norman Shi Yahuai was led by the receptionist to Shen Bi's office, and Shen Bi got up and went out to greet him.
"Norman, we meet again, please come in!"
"Michael, good morning!"
After a simple handshake, Norman Shi Yahuai was welcomed into the office by Shen Bi, and the two sat together on the soft and comfortable leather sofa.
After asking Norman Shi Yahuai, Shen Bi's secretary, Rand, served them two different flavors of coffee before exiting the office and closing the office door.
For a time, there were only Shen Bi and Norman Shi Yahuai in the office.
Shen Bi smiled and asked, "Norman, do you have anything to do? If I can do it, I will definitely do it with all my strength."
Norman Shi Yahuai thanked with a smile: "Thank you!"
Then he said, "Michael, I came to visit you suddenly today. There is indeed an urgent matter that needs your help."
"I want to buy some of the stakes in Cathay Pacific and Heung Kong Aircraft Engineering that HSBC owns!"
"I hope it's convenient to complete the transaction today."
Facing Norman Shi Yahuai's scorching gaze, Shen Bi secretly said in his heart that this was the case, with a hesitant look on his face: "This..."
Norman Shi Yahuai's heart suddenly clenched, his fists clenched subconsciously, his face changed suddenly, and he asked anxiously: "Michael, are these shares not in HSBC's hands?"
Shen Bi was stunned for a moment, then said with a light smile, "Norman, don't be nervous, just listen to me first."
Norman Shi Yahuai forcibly calmed down, looking straight at Shen Bi, waiting for his answer, but his still clenched fists showed that he was very nervous.
Shen Bi also knew Norman Shi Yahuai's mood at this time, so he didn't sell anything. According to the draft that Norman Shi Yahuai had prepared in his heart before he came, he said, "Norman, it is impossible to complete the transaction today."
"Because the shares of Cathay Pacific Airways and Heung Kong Aircraft Engineering Company originally held by HSBC were transferred to HSBC Holdings, the British parent company, just like the shares of other companies in the last accounting of bank assets."
"So if you want, I have to apply to the parent company first, and then the parent company approves and finds it and then transfers it to our Hong Kong HSBC Bank, and then I can talk to you about the transaction."
Hearing Shen Bi's explanation, Norman Shi Yahuai breathed a sigh of relief, and his clenched fists gradually loosened. Fortunately, it wasn't something he didn't want to see.
He didn't even care about why the equity was transferred to the parent company of HSBC. After all, from Shen Bi's words, he knew that it was not only the equity of Cathay Pacific and Heung Kong Aircraft Engineering Company, but also the equity of other companies.
Based on Shen Bi's relationship with him, he did not suspect that Shen Bi would lie to him here.
He went on to ask what he was more concerned about.
"Michael, how long will this process take, can you give me an approximate time?"
Shen Bi frowned and thought for a moment, then shook his head under Norman Shi Yahuai's concerned gaze, and said apologetically, "Norman, I really can't guarantee this time."
"It's very simple for me to write an application here, and it doesn't take long to report it, but the key lies in the decision of the parent company. I can only try my best to urge it, but I can't guarantee how long it will take."
Seeing that Norman Shi Yahuai's face was a little ugly,
Shen Bi immediately assured: "But don't worry, if I take back the equity from the parent company, I will notify you as soon as possible, and I will not make you embarrassed in terms of price."
For the sake of Shen Bi's words, Norman Shi Yahuai knew that there was no way to buy the equity from HSBC today.
But for the first purpose, he had to confirm it again.
So he smiled and said, "Michael, then please!"
"By the way, the equity of Cathay Pacific Airways and Heung Kong Aircraft Engineering Company should still be in the hands of HSBC Holdings, right?"
Shen Bi did not give a positive answer, but gave a specious answer: "If it is sold, I can know, but now I have not been notified that the equity has been sold, so the equity should still be in the parent company."
Shen Bi felt ashamed, so he didn't dare to speak to death, leaving a way out for himself.
Of course, what he said was right. He did not receive the notice, and he did not know whether he had sold it or not. HSBC Holdings sold the equity, but it also helped the Bright Fund to keep it secret.
Norman Shi Yahuai looked at Shen Bi for a few seconds, then nodded lightly, he chose to believe what Shen Bi said.
He said sincerely and solemnly, "Okay, Michael, this matter is very important to me, please help me as soon as possible."
Shen Bi nodded with a smile, then looked at his watch, and said to Norman Shi Yahuai, "No problem, count the time. It's still dark in London, and I'll go to ask when the official work there."
"Thank you!" Norman Shi Yahuai thanked again.
Shen Bi pondered for a moment and asked, "Norman, can I know why you suddenly want to buy back some of the shares of Cathay Pacific and Hong Kong Aircraft Engineering?"
After all, it is to buy back the equity and use it to replace the equity of Dongfeng Airlines. It is not beneficial to HSBC, and it will be embarrassing to say it, and he does not want to expose the matter before he succeeds.
So Norman Shi Yahuai chose to temporarily hide the truth.
He said with a smile: "Michael, it's mainly to strengthen the control of Cathay Pacific's acquisition of Hong Kong Aircraft Engineering Company, and in order to promote the development of Swire Airlines, it is really necessary to increase the shareholding ratio a little bit."
Shen Bi knew that Norman Shi Yahuai didn't tell the truth.
He took a deep look at Norman Shi Yahuai and sighed in his heart.
He was also a little disappointed in Norman Shi Yahuai, and at the same time he was gradually relieved.
He wasn't the only one who lied, Norman Shi Yahuai also lied to him, so he didn't need to have any psychological burden.
If Norman Schwarzwald tells the truth, he can get more information to confirm that Norman Schwarzwald knows who is buying Cathay Pacific Airways, then he can also reveal the truth to Norman Schwarzwald, and also can not Trouble for the parent company.
But Norman Shi Yahuai didn't say, he couldn't be sure, in order not to affect the parent company, but also for his own future, he could only choose to keep the secret in his heart.
However, due to years of friendship, he still wanted to vaguely remind Norman Shi Yahuai, whether it was effective or not was up to Norman Shi Yahuai himself.
I saw him nodded in approval and said, "Norman, your idea is right. No matter how good the company is, it's useless if you can't control it yourself. I support you in strengthening your control over the company, which is very important."
Norman Shi Yahuai smiled and nodded and replied, "Yes."
Then there is no text.
Shen Bi frowned slightly, not sure if Norman Shi Yahuai heard the deep meaning of his words.
At this moment, Norman Shi Yahuai took a sip of coffee, put down the quilt, and said to Shen Bi: "Michael, I still have something to do, so I'll go first, I won't disturb you for now, I have time to play golf together on weekends. ."
"I'll leave this to you, let me know as soon as there is news."
"Okay!" Shen Bi replied with a smile and nod.
"Then I'll go first!"
"I'll send it to you."
After personally sending Norman Shi Yahuai out of the headquarters gate, watching his car start to leave, Shen Bi sighed and thought to himself, "Norman, I hope you can be as cautious as you said yourself, given your original attitude towards the company. Holding shares, as long as you don't make mistakes, no one can take away your company, the key lies in yourself..."
Thinking of this, Shen Bi was a little disillusioned, shook his head slightly and stopped thinking about it, turned and walked towards the elevator entrance.
...
Wade Shi Yahuai was going to the Song family to find someone, so it was not as fast as Norman Shi Yahuai's side.
So when he got off work in the morning, Wade Shi Yahuai still didn't get it done.
But at about one o'clock in the afternoon, Wade Shi Yahuai hurried back to the family and saw his uncle Norman Shi Yahuai, who was not in the mood to fall asleep.
Seeing his nephew come in, Norman Shi Yahuai immediately asked, "Wade, what happened?"
Wade Shi Yahuai just sat down on the buttocks and took two breaths to make his breathing easier to speak.
"Uncle, I found Song Bo, the owner of the Song family. The equity is still in the Song family's hands. I have read the proof of equity."
Hearing this, Norman Shi Yahuai's expression relaxed.
Then he heard the words behind Wade Shi Yahuai.
"However, Song Bo did not agree to my proposal to buy shares. He shied away from being optimistic about Cathay Pacific Airways. No matter what I said, he was not willing to transfer it."
"And he also said that from beginning to end, he has supported our operations and management, so let us rest assured that he will always be on our side."
"Knowing that we couldn't talk, I didn't continue to persuade me, and waited until I was fully prepared to talk to him later."
Norman Shi Yahuai thought about it and said, "Well, since Song Bo said so, he shouldn't lie to us."
Wade Shi Yahuai added: "Yes, I also consider that the Song family has cooperated with our family for decades. The Song family also has a lot of interests within the consortium. For his entire family, he has no reason to betray us. ."
Norman Shi Yahuai nodded slightly.
Wade Shi Yahuai asked rhetorically, "Uncle, what about HSBC?"
Norman Shi Yahuai's face sank, and he told the situation again.
Facing what his uncle said, Wade Shi Yahuai couldn't say anything. Continuing to ask questions would only embarrass his uncle, so he wisely didn't ask any more and talked about the most crucial topic.
"Uncle, it's one o'clock now, and it's less than two hours before three in the afternoon. Shall we make a deal with Bao Yugang?"
After asking, Wade Shi Yahuai quietly looked at his uncle Norman Shi Yahuai, waiting for his decision.
Norman Shi Yawai thought for a long time, his eyes became firm, and he said solemnly: "Let's make a deal, lest there will be problems due to prolonged time."
"I will let the British side directly contact HSBC Holdings, and both parties will do it at the same time. As long as they get part of the equity held by HSBC, it doesn't matter whether the Song family is transferred or not."
"In a few days, the impact should not be large."
Wade Shi Yahuai hurriedly nodded and replied, "Okay, then I'll have people prepare things for the afternoon."
"Well, thank you for your hard work!"
"It's not hard work, for the glory of the family!"
