章節 991: Chapter 991: No more hiding! Attack!
After breakfast, Norman Schiaway did not go to the office, but sat on the sofa in the living room at home, drinking tea and reading the newspaper.
From time to time, he glanced at the time on his watch.
He was waiting for Song Bo to give him a reply.
Yesterday before he left, he had told Song Bo that he would give him an answer before nine o'clock today.
But as the time passed, there was no sign of Song Bo's phone call. His expression gradually became grave, his emotions began to fluctuate, and he could no longer calm down.
And his nephew, Wade Shiyahuai, who was sitting next to him, was even more worried and could not sit still, getting up and pacing back and forth.
When he saw the second hand of the clock turn another full circle, and the minute hand finally stop at 12, while the hour hand was just pointing at the number 9, Wade Shiyahuai's face looked very ugly, and he suddenly looked at his uncle.
But he saw his uncle Norman Shiyahuai had already closed his eyes in despair.
He hurriedly said solemnly, 'Uncle, it seems that that bastard Song Bo has betrayed us!'
Norman Shiyahuai's eyes remained closed, and after taking a few deep breaths, he tried his best to calm his fluctuating emotions.
Suddenly!
Norman Shiyahuai opened his eyes, his gaze sharp as a knife, not the slightest hint of turbidity.
He snorted and commanded, 'Wade, you call the Song family now!'
Wade Shiyahuai nodded, walked over to the phone, and dialed the number in the phone book.
'Hello, this is the Song residence, may I ask who is calling?'
'This is Wade Shi Yahuai, let Song Bo answer the phone!'
Hearing that the person on the other end of the line was the butler of the Song family, the disgruntled Wade Shi Yahuai was not at all polite and directly named Song Bo.
After waiting for about a minute, Song Bo finally answered the phone.
Song Bo only said a few words, and Wade Shi Yahuai directly asked, 'Mr. Song, at what price do you plan to sell us the Cathay Pacific Airways shares?'
'...Are you sure?'
'You've already sold your shares to Xia Yu... The Song family will fall because of your wrong decision...'
'Click!'
Hearing the busy tone on the phone, Wade Shi Yahuai realised that Song Bo had hung up on him of his own accord. He was already furious, and his anger increased even more.
Then he stormed angrily towards his uncle Norman Shi Yahuai.
Although he did not answer the phone, Norman Schiaway already knew the result from his nephew's actions and words.
Wade Schiaway, who had walked over, said angrily, 'Uncle, Song Bo refused to sell us the shares. I asked him if he had sold the shares to Xia Yu, and he did not admit it, but he also did not deny it. He must have done it!'
'The dog we raised has already begun to bite the hand that feeds it!'
'Uncle, we absolutely cannot let the Song family off the hook!'
'If the Song family doesn't pay a price, our family's reputation will be ruined and we won't be able to maintain our family's prestige!'
Norman Shih Yueh was also very angry, but he didn't lose his head and was able to distinguish between the important and the trivial.
The most urgent task now was to save Cathay Pacific Airways.
Only by saving Cathay Pacific Airways will Xia Yu fail even if he acquires the Sung family's shares. Even though Xia Yu has already infiltrated strongly, they have not lost their ability to resist.
He said in a deep voice, 'Wade, Sung Bo must pay the price, but this can be put off until we have free hands.'
'The most important thing now is to get Xia Yu, the robber, out and keep our company, otherwise the consequences will be very serious, and it will be impossible to suppress the Song family!'
Hearing his uncle's words, Wade Shi Yahuai had to take a deep breath to suppress the anger in his heart.
He hurriedly said, 'Uncle, the only hope we have now is Standard Chartered Bank and HSBC. Have you heard anything from Sack?'
Norman Shi Yahuai's face was ashen, and he shook his head and said, 'No news yet.'
Norman Shiawei looked worried. After hesitating for a moment, he finally said, 'Uncle, I'm afraid HSBC may have sold its shares. Although Shen Bi is only the chairman of the board of directors of Hongkong and Shanghai Banking Corporation, Hongkong and Shanghai Banking Corporation is an extremely important subsidiary of HSBC Holdings. If Shen Bi is willing, he can completely take back the Cathay Pacific Airways shares from the parent company. Shen Bi's attitude is perfunctory, which is very unusual. Shen Bi has never treated us like this before!'
Norman Shiawei's expression grew more and more solemn.
Hadn't he considered this?
Precisely because of this, while asking Sheng Biao to inquire, he also asked his capable subordinate to go directly to HSBC Holdings.
Norman Shiawei shook his head and sighed, 'Sark told me that HSBC Holdings' attitude is not positive, and it is very unlikely that they don't want to sell. It is very likely that they have secretly sold it. Due to confidentiality clauses, they don't want us to know the real situation now.'
After saying this, he did not wait for Wade Schiaway to speak, but instead asked, 'What is the situation with Standard Chartered Bank? Does Giles Liddle still refuse to sell?'
Wade Schiaway shook his head with a bitter expression on his face, and said helplessly, 'He has never agreed to it, even though I have offered twice the premium. He still won't budge, and I unilaterally set the price. He simply won't negotiate with me, and we haven't even entered the negotiation threshold.'
'But at 5 o'clock yesterday afternoon, Cathay Pacific's shares were still in the hands of Standard Chartered Bank. I'm not sure what the situation is today!'
'Gars Liddle's approach is really strange. Last night, I asked my think tank to analyse it and came to the highly probable conclusion that Standard Chartered Bank has reached a secret agreement with Xia Yu and is now just holding the shares on his behalf!'
'After all, Xia Yu has approached the Song family, so there is no reason why he wouldn't approach Standard Chartered and HSBC. There is no reason why Garth Liddle and Shen Bi would deny that someone is trying to acquire a stake in Cathay Pacific Airways!'
Norman Shi Yayui was silent for a long time, then suddenly got up and said to Wade Shi Yayui, 'Wade, you go stay at Swire Pacific and keep an eye on the movements of each company. I'm going to Standard Chartered!'
Wade Shiyahuai nodded and replied, 'Okay, uncle.'
...
Standard Chartered Bank, Chairman's Office.
Norman Shiyahuai's face was covered in veins, his eyes staring at the calm face of Giles Liddle, and he questioned, 'President Liddle, Wade approached you yesterday to buy the shares, but you didn't sell them. Just one night later, you sold the shares of Cathay Pacific?'
Gars Liddle spread his hands and calmly replied, 'I did sell it. Before last night, I really had no intention of selling the shares, but nothing is absolute. To be honest, when I think back on it this morning, I still feel a bit dreamlike.'
Norman Shia's eyebrows quivered as he suppressed his anger and asked, 'President Liddle, you sold your stake in Cathay Pacific to Xia Yu, didn't you?'
Gars Liddle said apologetically, 'I'm afraid I can't tell you that. I've signed an agreement to keep it confidential for half a month, so you'll have to find out from someone else.'
Despite what Gars Liddle said, Norman Shia was already convinced that it was Xia Yu!
He stared straight at Giles Liddell and asked coldly, 'Fine, since you don't want to say, then based on our many years of friendship, you have to let me lose understand why you would rather sell Cathay Pacific's shares to someone else than to us?'
Giles Liddell was silent for a moment, shook his head and said, 'Mr. Shih Yawei, I can only tell you that the condition is that the Shih Yawei family cannot give it to Standard Chartered Bank. For the bank's interests, I cannot refuse, even if you pay twice the premium, it is still not enough!'
Norman Shih Yawei laughed angrily, his laughter mixed with feelings of grief and remorse.
Gars Liddle could no longer remain calm. He advised with a complex expression on his face: 'Mr. Shih Yawei, I know more than you, but due to the reality, I cannot tell you everything. However, from the perspective of a friend, I suggest that you give up Cathay Pacific Airways. This is the best choice.'
Gars Liddle's words, if not said, would have been fine, but when he said them, they sounded extremely harsh to Norman Shi Yahuai, and made him even more disgusted.
He gave Gars Liddle a deep look and sneered, 'Friend, huh!'
After saying that, he walked directly towards the door.
Norman Shi Yahuai wanted to speak harsh words, but given the relationship between the Swire Group and Standard Chartered Bank, all he would do is make himself suffer.
Whether it was the equity that Standard Chartered Bank held in each of the companies in the Swire group, or its loan and business relationships with each company, it was destined that Standard Chartered Bank would be relatively more powerful.
Norman Shi Yahuai had secretly decided that once he had overcome this crisis, he would begin to transfer assets and find a bank in the UK to replace Standard Chartered Bank, gradually dissolving all kinds of relationships with Standard Chartered Bank.
Standard Chartered Bank could no longer be relied upon!
Garth Liddle did not get up, but watched Norman Shi Yahui as he stormed out of the room.
Then he picked up the phone and dialed a number. Soon Xia Yu's voice came from the other end of the line. He reported hurriedly, 'Chairman, Norman Shi Yahui just left from my office. I already told him that the shares have been transferred, but I didn't say to whom. But from the look on his face, he thinks it's you... I tried to persuade him, but from the look on his face, I don't think he's going to give up just yet...'
'The plan has already started? Okay, I'm ready on my end...'
After hanging up the phone, Garth Liddle's mouth curled up into a smile as he muttered to himself, 'Norman Shiyawei, if you resist, then I believe you will be greeted with one surprise after another...'
...
After leaving Standard Chartered Bank in a rage, Norman Shiyawei immediately drove to Swire Pacific.
He had a bad feeling.
Gars Liddle had not hidden the fact that he had transferred his shares, which meant that his enemy was confident and the battle was about to begin.
When Norman Shiyahui arrived at Swire Pacific, an employee immediately ran up to him to report some news.
Norman Shiyahui's face immediately changed, and then he quickly walked into the elevator.
