章節 1017: Chapter 1017: Setting a trap deliberately
'Is your CEO in there?'
After finding the place, Norman Schiawai asked, looking at the two employees standing at the door guarding it.
'Yes!'
'Mr. Shi Yahuai, our chairman is a bit busy at the moment, so you might as well go to the reception room and wait,' said one of the employees, who knew Norman Shi Yahuai and so did not ask if he had an appointment. He spoke with a humble attitude.
Norman Shi Yahuai was already impatient, so how could he agree? He said directly, 'The matter I came to see him about is the matter he is discussing right now. If there is a problem later, can you take responsibility?'
The employee was suddenly at a loss for words, his face changing constantly.
Norman Shi Yawai gave the bodyguard behind him a direct wink, and the bodyguard immediately blocked the two employees, before Norman Shi Yawai directly opened the door and entered.
All the two groups of people inside the room who were originally negotiating stopped and looked at Norman Shi Yawai and the others who had suddenly entered from the outside.
Shen Bi looked at Yuan Tianfan, who was sitting opposite, and revealed an inexplicable smile before standing up and walking towards Norman Shi Yawai.
'Norman, why have you come?'
Norman Shi Yahuai said immediately, 'Michael, I'm sorry to just barge in like this, but I'm afraid I'll be too late if I come any later. I hope to talk to you.'
At this time, Yuan Tianfan, who was still sitting in his seat, suddenly interrupted, 'Mr. Norman Shi Yahuai, everything is about first come, first served. If you have something to say, wait until we're done talking with Mr. Shen Bi. This is the most basic etiquette.'
Shen Bi, who had wanted to speak up, narrowed his eyes, then looked at Norman Shi Yahuai with some difficulty, the meaning being self-evident.
How would Norman Shi Yahuai be willing to do so? Jiuding Securities Company was an enemy, and unless he had lost his mind, he would never let Yuan Tianfan negotiate with Shen Bi smoothly.
He spoke impatiently and impolitely, saying, 'Etiquette is for friends, you are not qualified!'
As soon as these words were spoken, the atmosphere in the room suddenly became tense.
In fact, Norman Shi Yahuai's sudden entrance had exactly suited Yuan Tianfan's plan.
This situation was not something he had anticipated before, but it was most beneficial to their plan. He had originally been worried about how to let Norman Shi Yahuai know that they had approached HSBC to buy the shares, but now there was simply no need. There was nothing better than direct competition!
To make the plan more effective, the timing is still far from perfect, and the more tense the atmosphere, the better!
So he said coldly, 'Haha, we're not qualified? I don't even care!'
'I know the purpose of your visit, but I'm not afraid to tell you that we will definitely take the shares that HSBC holds in Swire Pacific and other companies!'
'We lack everything except money!'
After saying this, Yuan Tianfan no longer looked at Norman Shih Yawei, who was red with anger, and smiled at Shen Bi, saying, 'Mr. Shen, some people think that they can rely on personal relationships to make embarrassing demands on you, but in business, it is still a matter of mutual consent, and the highest bidder wins!'
'You also have to be responsible to your shareholders, so I won't make things difficult for you!'
'We are very sincere. We are willing to pay a 100% premium for the shares of all Swire Group companies based on today's closing stock market price. This is our greatest sincerity!'
As Yuan Tianfan said this, Norman Shih Yawei, who was already furious, was shocked and felt as disgusted as if he had eaten a fly.
In front of the helmsman of the Swire Group, he directly said that he wanted to buy the shares of his company, and the offer was very rude.
Yuan Tianfan was slapping him in the face.
But for Shen Bi, Yuan Tianfan's offer was a timely one, and he was able to face Norman Shiyahuai more calmly.
Shen Bi looked at Norman Shiyahuai, his face showing signs of difficulty, and said, 'Norman, please understand, I do have to be responsible for the company and its shareholders. Business is business, and I hope that business matters will not affect our friendship.'
How could Norman Shi Yawai say no?
Despite being furious and disgusted, he had to force a smile and nod, saying, 'Michael, I understand. I won't let you break the rules.'
'I'm also willing to pay double the price, and I hope you can sell me back all of the company's shares!'
Norman Shi Yawai made an offer, which marked the official start of the bidding process.
Yuan Tianfan immediately said, 'Mr. Shen Bi, we can pay a 110% premium for all of it, and the transaction will be settled entirely in cash!
No defaults!' Goodness, when Yuan Tianfan said this, the faces of everyone present changed.
Norman Shiawei's face turned as black as a pot sticker, as if he had just died.
Shen Bi, on the other hand, was shocked by the strength of Jiuding Securities.
With the current shareholding of HSBC in the companies belonging to the Swire consortium, and based on today's stock market rally, a conservative estimate of the value is at least 1.5 billion, calculated using the closing price this afternoon!
According to Yuan Tianfan's words, Jiuding Securities would have to come up with at least 3 billion Hong Kong dollars in cash. Even if Jiuding Securities doesn't come up with the money, this would still be proof of the strength of the Jiuding consortium!
Anyway, with the strength of HSBC, it's not like they can't raise 3 billion Hong Kong dollars in cash, but it definitely won't be as easy as Yuan Tianfan says.
And this is why Norman Shiawei felt the pressure.
With the financial strength shown by Jiuding Securities and considering the funds of Swire Finance, it would be extremely difficult for him to win this battle!
But no matter how difficult it is, he must do his best to protect it!
Therefore, he gritted his teeth and said to Shen Bi, 'Michael, I am willing to pay a 120% premium, also all in cash!'
Shen Bi's gaze deepened instantly as he looked at Norman Shi Yahuai, who looked solemn, to make sure that he wasn't joking. He knew the Swire Group very well, and in fact didn't believe that Norman Shi Yahuai could come up with this kind of money.
Yuan Tianfan said mockingly, 'Mr. Shi Yahuai, you can't say things carelessly. If you say it, you have to be able to deliver. I very much doubt that you can come up with this kind of money.'
Norman Shih Yahuai's scalp was congested, his face flushed, and he stiffened his neck and snorted in return, 'It's none of your business whether I can come up with it or not, but you're not even going to think about touching these shares!'
Yuan Tianfan shrugged nonchalantly and said with a light smile, 'That's not up to you to decide. The highest bidder wins. Our attitude is also here. We're determined to get these shares!'
Then he raised the price substantially and said, 'Mr. Shen Bi, as a sign of our sincerity, we are willing to pay 150% of the premium for all the shares! Full payment in cash!'
Norman Shi Yahuai was already in a difficult position, but at this point he had no choice but to continue to follow.
'I am willing to pay 160% of the premium, also in cash!'
'We are willing to pay 170% of the premium!' Yuan Tianfan continued to raise the price with confidence and composure, his attitude very firm.
...
'I'll pay 200% premium!' Norman Shih Yawei's face turned red, and he spoke with agitation. The pressure from within had already made him gasp for breath, making it difficult for him to control his emotions.
Shen Bi, who had not had the chance to speak, sensed that there was a slight change in the situation. Yuan Tianfan was deliberately provoking Norman Shih Yawei, and Norman Shih Yawei, whether he noticed or not, had to hold his ground.
Considering the general relationship with the Jiuding consortium and the close relationship with Norman Shih Yaohuai and the Swire group, Shen Bi stepped forward to mediate when Yuan Tianfan wanted to raise the price again.
'Mr Yuan, Norman, let's all calm down for a moment. We now own all the shares, and I haven't yet decided whether to sell or not, so it's useless for you to argue now. I think you should let me think about it for a few days first. If I decide to sell, I'll contact you to discuss the price. What do you think?'
Norman Shi Yaohuai let out a sigh of relief when he heard Shen Bi's words, and looked at him gratefully. Shen Bi pretended not to see it.
Yuan Tianfan nodded with a smile and said, 'Mr. Shen is right. A sale is about mutual consent. We'll wait for you to think it over. I hope you'll let me know. My price won't disadvantage HSBC!'
'The price I just quoted is still valid!'
Shen Bi smiled and said, 'Mr Yuan, I can feel your sincerity. Don't worry, as soon as I have made up my mind, I will let you know.'
Yuan Tianfan nodded with a smile, then got up and extended his hand to Shen Bi, who immediately reached out and shook hands with him.
'Mr. Shen, then I won't disturb you, we'll go first.'
'Okay, take care!'
Before leaving, Yuan Tianfan glanced at Norman Shi Yuhuai, smiled provocatively, and then decisively led the people away.
For a moment, the atmosphere in the room was a little stagnant.
