章節 1024: Chapter 1024: Spoiler
After Shen Bi finished speaking, Norman Shi Yahuai seemed to be making a statement, and he was the first to bid.
'I'll bid 30 million Hong Kong dollars!'
After reporting his bid, Norman Shi Yahuai narrowed his eyes and looked at Yuan Tianfan, his hostility obvious.
But to everyone's surprise, Yuan Tianfan was unmoved, as if he hadn't seen Norman Shi Yahuai's gaze, and showed no intention of bidding.
There was silence in the room for five or six seconds, and then one of the seven or eight Chinese people in the room participated in the bidding.
'Thirty-one million!'
As soon as he had made his bid, and while the other Chinese people were about to bid as well, Yuan Tianfan, who had seemed to have no desire to bid, suddenly intervened again and bid one million more.
'I'll bid thirty-two million!'
Norman Shi Yawei immediately followed suit, raising the price with a determined air: '35 million!'
Unexpectedly, Yuan Tianfan fell silent again.
This scene not only made Shen Bi frown, but also puzzled the other Chinese people with ideas, unable to figure out what Yuan Tianfan was thinking.
The meeting room fell silent for another ten seconds, and the Chinese person who had previously quoted a price seemed to be very interested in Swire Milk Company and quoted another price:
'36 million.'
After quoting the price, the Chinese man glanced at Yuan Tianfan.
Sure enough, Yuan Tianfan began to quote a price again.
'37 million!'
The Chinese man thought that Yuan Tianfan was deliberately targeting him, and asked with a forced smile, 'Mr Yuan, is your Jiuding Securities Company interested in Swire Milk?'
Yuan Tianfan gave a faint smile and said ambiguously, 'Not really.'
The Chinese man frowned, gave Yuan Tianfan a deep look, remained silent for the time being, and fixed his gaze on Norman Shi Yuhuai.
A stream of glances, blazing like flames, grilled Norman Shi Yuhuai over the coals.
Whether it was for the original plan or for his own company, he had no choice but to bid hard.
After all, he had only bid twice, and the highest price was only HK$9 million more than the starting price. Even though the starting price was already 100% of the original value premium, it still hadn't reached its peak at this time. If he rashly gave up, it would arouse suspicion.
Therefore, he gritted his teeth and bid again: '40 million!'
...
Every time after that, whenever Norman Schiawai made an offer, Yuan Tianfan ignored it, and whenever there was a Chinese bid, Yuan Tianfan would definitely raise the price by one million.
On the surface, it looked as if Yuan Tianfan and Norman Schiawai were completely on the same side.
But the Chinese people involved in the auction all knew that this was absolutely impossible. After all, the two sides were still fighting a life-and-death battle.
Moreover, the Jiuding consortium rose to prominence by slaughtering the Yingzi consortium, and is the banner of Chinese capital. No one expects Jiuding Securities to assist the Swire consortium, it's just not going to happen!
If this is ruled out, then the most likely scenario is that Yuan Tianfan is preventing them from buying these shares.
Why would he do that?
Thinking about the things Yuan Tianfan said when he first arrived, these Chinese people seemed to understand something, and their looks at Norman Shih Yahui and Shen Bi became different.
And their original intention to purchase the equity also faded. Without finding out more, they dared not rashly purchase the equity, lest they get bogged down.
With Yuan Tianfan as the spoiler, this special auction ended in a mess, and the plot set by Norman Shih Ya-Huai and Shen Bi was completely ruined.
All the shares put up for auction were bought by Norman Schiavon, except for a few that were left unsold.
After a long wait for the auction to end, Shen and Norman looked out the door as a group of Chinese people surrounded Yuan and saw him leave.
Shen said with certainty, 'Norman, it seems our plan has been exposed.'
'What went wrong?'
Norman Shi Yahuai frowned, recalling the events of the past few days, and said with certainty, 'I definitely didn't leak it on my end. I know the importance of this plan, so I didn't tell anyone.'
He also didn't suspect Shen Bi of doing so, but instead asked from another perspective, 'Michael, neither of us has the motive to leak the plan, but when you sold me your shares a few days ago, someone was present, and your bank also has an asset management department, could it be that these people leaked the news and then aroused the suspicions of Jiuding Securities?'
Shen Bi was silent. He could not guarantee this. If this was indeed the problem, then with the intelligence of Wang Qi from Jiuding Securities Company, it was not impossible to speculate on their plans.
Thinking this through, and as it had already happened, Shen Bi could only accept it helplessly.
'Norman, I will investigate this matter and get rid of any possible traitors within the company.'
'But the key now is the disposal of these shares.'
'Those people just now saw that you have already auctioned off these shares. If these shares are sold again from me or from you, what do you think they will think?'
'The war between the Swire Group and the Jiuding Group is still ongoing. What impact will there be if such negative news breaks out?'
A series of questions left Norman Shiyu speechless. He could appreciate Shen Bi's annoyance.
The shares of these companies have been frozen, and they cannot be sold for the time being.
If they are sold, people will find out the Swire Group's financial problems, which will only make the wolves that are still on the sidelines go crazy and pounce, and the wolves that are already besieging the Swire Group even more fierce.
The ultimate evil consequences will be transferred to the Swire Group and their family.
If the Swire Group collapses, HSBC, which is already more closely tied to the Swire Group, will also suffer huge losses.
In an instant, Norman Shi Yaohuai regretted it. He should never have suggested publicising the matter and attracting the participation of other Chinese people.
If it was just him and Yuan Tianfan competing today, then even if Yuan Tianfan had discovered the plan, he would not have been afraid. Since the two sides were hostile to each other, no matter how much Yuan Tianfan publicised it, he would be able to deny Yuan Tianfan's rumours and cause no significant impact.
But now, in addition to Yuan Tianfan, there were seven or eight other Chinese people who had witnessed it.
After a long while, Norman Shih Yaohuai said cheekily, 'Michael, since it's already happened, then don't sell these shares for now. Let your bank continue to hold them. When I have enough money later, sell them to me, how's that?'
Shen Bi was speechless. He looked at Norman Shih Yai-huai deeply and said discontentedly, 'Norman, if I didn't take care of you last time, I would have been able to sell these shares at a premium of 200%, for more than HK$1.3 billion, and make a profit of HK$800 million to 900 million. Now you just say no?'
'The other day, when I sold you the shares of the four companies in the Swire group, I also took some losses. I won't count it up, but even if it's 200 million,'
'I've lost a profit of ten billion dollars to help you!'
It's no wonder that Shen Biao is dissatisfied. This is a special period, so the shares of the Swire group of companies can be sold at a high price. In fact, if you miss it, you won't be able to sell it at this price.
Norman Shi Yaohuai knows that he is in the wrong, but if he is asked to give up the money, he definitely won't be able to do it, and he won't give it up.
So he can only play the rogue.
He laughed cheekily, 'Michael, you can't put it that way. You have to think about the past. HSBC held a stake in these companies, so even if you sell them at the same price, you'll still make a huge profit, not to mention that I paid more for them.'
'And my plan was originally good. Neither of us wants to see it leaked, but someone from your bank leaked the information...'
Shen Bi immediately said, 'I didn't say it was our bank that leaked the information. Let's find out for sure.'
Norman Shi Yaohuai placed his palm on his chest and said solemnly, 'But I swear to God, it definitely wasn't me who leaked it.'
Shen Bi was suddenly at a loss for words and felt that there was no point in arguing with Norman Shi Yaohuai.
He shook his head, sighed, and said, 'Fine, then I won't sell these shares.'
'But they can't stay in the bank.'
'You set up a separate investment company as a formality, transfer the equity of these companies to that company, and then the ownership of that company is transferred to me. I will arrange for a company under the bank to temporarily hold it in secret.'
The reason for all this trouble is that Shen Bi is completely guarding against the possibility of an 'internal traitor' within the company.
You have to do the whole show...
Norman Shiyahuai also understood this principle and nodded happily, saying, 'Yes, I will arrange for someone to do this after I get back.'
Shen Bi nodded slightly, gathering his thoughts. He said earnestly to Norman Shiyahui, 'Norman, HSBC and I have done enough to help you. It will be difficult for us to play any further role. You must rely on yourself.'
Norman Shiyahui took a deep breath, nodded, reached out and shook Shen Bi's hand firmly. He was speaking to Shen Bi, but also to himself.
'Michael, the Jiuding consortium will never be able to defeat me!'
'I believe it too!' Shen Biao smiled and wished him well.
Shen Biao then personally saw Norman Shiyahuai out the door, and they embraced before parting.
'Hang in there, my old friend!'
Shen Biao silently wished Norman Shiyahuai well as he watched his car gradually pull away.
