章節 984: Chapter 984: The plan is on the verge of being exposed
Bao Yugang was silent once again.
Although Wade Shi Yahuai still had a smile on his face, it could be seen from his gradually tightening hands that he was becoming nervous inside.
After a long time, Bao Yugang finally made his position clear.
'Mr. Shi Yahuai, 20% of the equity is already a very high amount, so it's best not to exceed it. Even if I lose my seat on the company's board of directors, I don't care.'
Seeing that Bao Yugang had agreed, Wade Shiyahuai let out a long sigh of relief. Although he had lost a little bit of equity, Bao Yugang's agreement to 20% had already exceeded his expectations.
Therefore, he immediately said, 'That's fine. Cooperation is about mutual satisfaction. Since Mr. Bao has made a suggestion, I have no objection.'
'How should the equity of the two companies be replaced?'
Bao Yugang said, 'Cathay Pacific will still have a 5% stake, and the rest will be made up with the shares of Hong Kong Aircraft Engineering Company.'
Wade Shijiahuai could also guess that Bao Yugang would choose this.
After all, the Cathay Pacific stake was obviously worth more.
And Hong Kong Aircraft Engineering Company is already a listed company, even if there is a shortfall now, it can be acquired from the secondary market, and for a small amount of money, it can also increase its stake to more than 5%, and it can also obtain a seat on the board of directors, it's just that it will be a little later.
Wade Shiyahuai nodded and said, 'Yes, let's do it this way.'
'Let's complete the transaction in a few days.'
Bao Yugang frowned, sensing that something was wrong.
They had reached such an advanced stage of negotiations that they could have simply signed the agreement, but instead they said they would complete the transaction in a few days.
What were they going to do in the meantime?
Bao Yugang's intuition, which had been tested many times in the business world, told him that sleepless nights were fraught with problems, and that he absolutely must not let Wade Shiyahui delay the transaction for a few days, or there would likely be big problems.
Therefore, he said with a smile, 'Mr. Shiyahui, since we've come this far, and it's only the morning, there's still plenty of time today, so let's just complete the transaction today, and save ourselves the trouble of running back and forth again and again.'
Weide Shiyahui also knew that his request was a bit abrupt, and to be honest, he was also a bit worried that Bao Yugang would change his mind. After all, in addition to Bao Yugang, Dongfeng Airlines also had two other shareholders.
To be on the safe side, he thought for a moment and said, 'Mr. Bao, how about this, the share certificates of Xiangjiang Airport Ground Services and Xiangjiang Aircraft Engineering are stored in this building, so we can trade this part first.'
'As for the shares of Cathay Pacific Airways, they are not here for the time being. I have to go back and find out where they are. Anyway, since the deal has been agreed, I don't care if it takes a few days.'
There is a problem!
There is definitely a problem!
Bao Yugang was even more convinced that Wade Shi Yahuai had a conspiracy.
The more so, the more he could not let Wade Schiawai get his way.
How could it be that Wade Schiawai had first swapped the less important shares of Hong Kong Airport Ground Services and Hong Kong Aircraft Engineering Company, and advanced them to Dongfeng Airlines, while he had not obtained the most important shares of Cathay Pacific Airways?
If something went wrong, he would not be able to fulfil the promise he had made to Xia Yu. It did not matter whether it was a disgrace or not, the key was that it would have a huge impact on Xia Yu's plan. He could not let Xia Yu down!
He said that he had to get the Cathay Pacific stake today!
Bao Yugang's mind was racing, and he came up with a solution.
He looked helpless and said to Wade Schiaway, 'Mr. Schiaway, it's not that I'm unreasonable. You should know what kind of person I am. I speak my mind and am straightforward, so I will say what's on my mind.
'It's just that my schedule is already set. I have to fly to the UK first thing tomorrow morning, stay there for about ten days, then fly to the US to take care of some business. I'll be in the US for about a month and a half. One thing is to go to Boeing to purchase planes, and the other is to meet with a partner, the head of Huanyu Holdings, the other shareholder of Dongfeng Airlines.'
'So when I come back next time, it will be at least 25 days, maybe even a month.'
Wei De Shi Yahuai was very helpless, but he still grasped a key piece of information, which was Universal Holdings.
He immediately asked, 'Mr. Bao, I wonder who this Universal Holdings is? We are going to be colleagues soon, and I still don't know the identity of this shareholder.'
Bao Yugang smiled and said, 'Mr. Shi Yahuai, you probably don't know, Universal Holdings is a Chinese family company in the United States. I will introduce it to you when I have the opportunity later.'
'This time when I go to the United States, I will also have to talk to them about transferring the shares to you, and then redistribute the shares between the three of us.'
'If I don't get it done before I leave, then we'll have to wait until I get back to talk about it.'
At this point, Bao Yugang paused for a moment, and then said again, 'This time, I promised Mr. Shi Yahuai that you would join, and I will make the final decision. I will first transfer my personal equity to you, and then we will discuss it among the three of us. I haven't discussed it with them yet, but generally speaking, they should agree.'
Bao Yugang said "should" instead of "definitely".
At this point, it was Wade's turn to worry.
He was also worried about problems arising at the time. If the shareholder Universal Holdings objected, then Bao Yugang would probably side with Universal Holdings.
Thinking about this, Wade Shi Yuhuai took a deep breath to calm himself down, then smiled and said, 'Mr. Bao, since you are going to be away on business for such a long time, then let's try to see if we can complete the transaction today.'
'But I really can't remember where I put the Cathay Pacific share certificate. I need to go back and look for it, and ask the others if they know where it is.
'Let's get ready. If I find it, I'll call you and come back in the afternoon to complete the transaction. What do you think?'
Bao Yugang nodded with a smile and said, 'No problem, it's a deal!'
He stood up and extended his hand to Wade Schiaway with a smile, saying, "I hope we have a pleasant cooperation!'
Wade Schiaway also got up and shook hands with Bao Yugang, saying, "I look forward to it!'
...
After watching Bao Yugang leave, Wade Schiavoni immediately made a phone call to confirm that his uncle Norman Schiavoni was at the Swire Group headquarters not far away.
He hurried over there and found Norman Schiavoni in the chairman's office, going through some documents.
Norman Schiavoni put down his pen, smiled and asked his nephew how things were going: 'Wade, how did it go with Bao Yugang?'
Wade Shi Yawai poured a glass of mineral water and drank it, then took a breath and said, 'Uncle, it's been negotiated. Bao Yugang has agreed to exchange 11.5% of the equity of Hong Kong Airport Ground Services, 5% of the equity of Cathay Pacific Airways, and a portion of the equity of Hong Kong Aircraft Engineering Company, with a total value of HK$200 million in assets, for 20% of the equity of Dongfeng Airlines.'
'I originally found an excuse to delay the transaction for a few days, but Bao Yugang said he had to go to the UK tomorrow, and then to the United States, and he would not be back until at least 25 days later.'
'His main purpose in going to the United States was to purchase aircraft from Boeing, and at the same time, to meet with the person in charge of Huanyu Holdings, the other shareholder of Dongfeng Airlines. By the way, he also said that Huanyu Holdings was a company of a Chinese family in the United States, but he did not say who it was. He just said that he would introduce me to them later, on the premise that I became a shareholder.'
'This time, the 20% of the equity that Bao Yugang has agreed to give up is from his personal name. Afterwards, I still have to negotiate with the other shareholders to reallocate the equity among themselves. I'm also afraid that there will be trouble if it drags on, so I can only say that I will first find proof of Cathay Pacific's equity and try to complete the transaction with him today.'
Norman Shi Yahuai nodded slightly and pondered as he listened to his nephew's report.
After a while, he gave a satisfied smile and said, 'Not bad, Hong Kong Airport Ground Services has still retained its bottom line!'
'But why did you want to delay for a few days?'
According to the original discussion between the two, there was no mention of delaying for a few days, and this was entirely the result of Wade Shiyahui's own initiative.
However, Norman Shiyahui did not have a problem with it. After all, plans are plans, and anything can happen during actual negotiations. It depends on improvisation and adaptability, and Wade Shiyahui has every right to make his own choice.
On this point, Wade Schiaway perked up and said aloud, 'Uncle, I'm mainly thinking about being more cautious.'
'After all, we currently own 51% of Cathay Pacific and 51% of HXME, but if we transfer our shares according to the agreed terms, our shareholdings will both fall below 50%.'
'It's not a problem with HXME, since it's a listed company, and even if our cumulative shareholding falls to around 46%, there's no need to worry about the risk. No one can quietly reduce the public shareholding to below 4%.'
'I'm only worried about Cathay Pacific, so I'm going to stall for a few days, and use that time to acquire HSBC or some of the shares held by the Sung family. Then I'll use 5% of those shares to trade with Bao Yugang. This way, throughout the whole process, our shareholding will never fall below 51%, and there will be no risk.'
Norman Shi Yayui said with satisfaction, 'You've thought of everything!'
'Unfortunately, Bao Yugang is leaving tomorrow...' Wade Shi Yayui said with some helplessness after his initial joy.
If only he could wait a few more days, he wouldn't have to come here and let his uncle Norman Shi Yawei make the decision. He could handle it all by himself.
Norman Shi Yawei suppressed his smile and thought for a moment before asking his nephew, 'Wade, you negotiated with Bao Yugang on site. He said he would be leaving Hong Kong for at least 25 days. Is that true or not? Can you be sure?'
Wade Shi Yawei thought carefully and said with some uncertainty, 'I think it's true.'
Norman Sze Ya-wai was also unsure, and said to Wade Sze Ya-wai, 'Tell me the whole story of the negotiations, without adding your personal subjective opinions.'
'Okay!'
'...'
Wade Sze Ya-wai spoke quickly, and gave a full account of the negotiations with Bao Yugang.
Afterwards, he looked quietly at Norman Sze Ya-wai.
After listening to his nephew's account, Norman Schiawai was also unable to confirm anything, and he didn't notice anything wrong either.
Bao Yugang was, after all, an old fox, and even if he was acting, he wouldn't have revealed anything. How could Wade Schiawai tell?
If Norman Schiawai had personally talked to Bao Yugang, it might have been possible to discover something wrong.
But who let it be Wade Schiawai who talked?
After pondering without results, Norman Schiawai could only give up looking for an answer here.
He thought for a moment and said, 'Wade, since you promised Bao Yugang to meet him again in the afternoon, time is of the essence. You take care of finding the Song family, and I'll find Shen Bi.'
'There are two purposes!'
'The first is to make sure the shares are still in their hands!'
'The second is to try to buy at least 5% of the shares!'
'The second purpose may be difficult to accomplish today, but we must make sure the shares are still there, understand?'
Wade Shiyahuai nodded solemnly and said, 'I understand!'
'Then, Uncle, time is of the essence, I'll go to the Song family now.'
Norman Shi Yawai nodded and said, 'Go ahead, I'm going to the HSBC Bank now too.'
