A layman in the courtyard

Chapter 201 is selected

The vast South China Sea.

Cao Zhihua's family, along with their maid and a team of personal bodyguards,
Driving the yacht out of the port and into the vast ocean.

Cao Zhihua was on the deck of the yacht, enjoying the cool sea breeze and looking at the boundless sea level.

The close contact with nature makes Cao Zhihua feel unparalleled tranquility and relaxation.The color of the sea water gradually changes from light blue to dark blue, complementing the sky and making it beautiful.

In this private paradise, Cao Zhihua and his three wives can taste fresh seafood.

The private chef on the yacht has prepared a variety of delicacies in the kitchen, whether it is fresh lobster, scallops or delicious sea fish, you can enjoy it to your heart's content.

After playing for a while, Cao Zhihua grilled delicious seafood with his family on the balcony of the yacht, started a barbecue party, chatted and laughed, and was very happy.

When the moon completely covers the sun, the sky will be pitch black, with only the surrounding stars and the glow of a total solar eclipse.

This is a shocking sight that makes people marvel at the mystery and infinite beauty of the universe.The unique perspective of Cao Zhihua’s family on the yacht made this experience very unforgettable.

Cao Zhihua suddenly felt that whether he was looking for relaxation or excitement and fun, taking a yacht on a sea vacation could satisfy his needs. It felt good.

After having a pleasant holiday with his family, Cao Zhihua came to the company early this morning and continued working.

First, take over the approval documents that have accumulated in the past few days and start approving them one by one.

As a result, not long after the documents were reviewed and approved, Li Shengnan brought Xie Wenjun to the office to find Cao Zhihua.

"Mr. Li, Mr. Xie, what's the matter with you guys coming here so early in the morning?"

Xie Wenjun looked at Li Shengnan but did not answer. Li Shengnan raised his eyes and said:
"Dr. Cao, yesterday Mr. Charlie, the chief executive of the Hong Kong Island Association, came over.
I heard from him that the news of our merging our real estate business into Zhihua Pioneer Real Estate has spread all over Hong Kong Island.
And this year, our Zhihua Pioneer Real Estate developed 12 residential real estate projects at one time, which was also known to shareholders.

In the past few days, the stock of our real estate trust company has been speculated to the sky, reaching an astonishing 18 yuan per share.

So I came here to ask Director Cao for advice on how we should deal with this matter. "

Cao Zhihua lay down on the sofa and said:

"Does this have any impact on our existing plans?"

Li Shengnan said with a smile:
"There is no impact. According to our current progress, we will soon apply for a market suspension and merger. These current investors are optimistic about the future development of our Zhihua Pioneer Real Estate."

Cao Zhihua asked in confusion:
"Logically speaking, our company's next plan is the secret of our company's development.
Why did the news spread on the stock exchange? "

Li Shengnan was also very unhappy with Cao Zhihua's question. He frowned and said:
"Director Cao, in the past, any news about our senior management meetings has never been spread out. This time it was only spread out. It is probably because this time we held a department meeting and there were more people, so the news spread quickly.

After all, every move of our company is now watched by the citizens of Hong Kong Island, and everyone hopes to make profits by analyzing our company's actions. "

What Cao Zhihua wanted was not such a vague answer, so he said angrily:
"Then go check it out. I want to see who dares to eat me alive.

If the news about our company is like a leak in the future, and the whole Hong Kong Island knows about it before we even start working,

What else are we doing?How to develop?

Eat my food and smash my pot, is this what humans do?

Mr. Li, I don't care what method you use, just check it for me. I hope there will be a clear investigation result in the shortest possible time. "

Seeing Cao Zhihua's furious look, Li Shengnan didn't dare to persuade Cao Zhihua. Moreover, although the matter was not as serious as Cao Zhihua said,
But this behavior did have a very big impact on the company.So Li Shengnan answered without hesitation:

"Don't worry, Director Cao, I will organize people from the Market Inspection Department and the Legal Department to start an investigation later.
We will definitely investigate the results as soon as possible.

In addition, the Taipan of the Hong Kong Island Association hopes that we can provide a financing plan and put some stocks on the market.

It is said that because of the shares of real estate trust companies, our company holds 93% of the stocks. There are too few stories in the market, which is not conducive to the development of listed companies. "

Cao Zhihua sneered and said with a smile:

"You want to get on the boat and make money with me, and you say it so grandly. These white-skinned people are really ugly.
Don’t rush the financing plan. According to our established plan, we will first merge and develop new residential projects.
We will then consider whether to raise funds and release shares based on the stock price.

I, Cao Zhihua, am not so generous and give them my money for free.

If the Hong Kong Island Association won't cooperate, just tell them that we will privatize the company's shares.

The initiative is in our hands, there is no need to coddle them? "

After hearing Cao Zhihua's instructions, Li Shengnan nodded and said:

"Okay, Director Cao, I understand and will follow your instructions."

Cao Zhihua waved his hand and signaled Li Shengnan and Xie Wenjun to go to work, and then continued to review the documents.

There are six white men sitting in a conference room inside the Hong Kong Stock Exchange, and the topic they are talking about now is the Zhihua Group Real Estate Trust Company.

"Charlie, are you sure the real estate trust company will release all the shares this time?"

Charlie thought for a while, shook his head again and said:
“This time I went to interview Cao from Zhihua Group, but I didn’t meet him in person.
It was Ms. Li Shengnan, the general manager of their company, who met and talked with me.

Ms. Li Shengnan obviously doesn't make the decision, so I can't make an accurate assessment.

What did the management of Zhihua Group say? "

"These guys have said that Zhihua Group has passed the document, and in the future Real Estate Trust Company and Hengnong Group will merge into Zhihua Pioneer Real Estate Company.

It will also be the only listed company of Zhihua Group.

They said that Cao Zhihua had signed the merger plan document, and now they were doing various preliminary work.

And judging from the application form for market suspension and merger received by the Hong Kong Island Association, this should be true.

Moreover, they also said that Cao Zhihua has approved all 12 development projects of Zhihua Pioneer Real Estate.

The design drawings are being produced now. We at Zhihua Zhihua Group are not short of money. Once the preliminary preparations are completed,

It will start on a large scale.With the price advantage of the materials industry chain alliance controlled by Zhihua Group, the media resources controlled by Cao Zhihua, the terrifying profits of residential real estate, and the appeal of the richest man in China,
After our comprehensive evaluation, the Zhihua Pioneer Real Estate Company, which is about to be reorganized, is 100% a high-quality asset worthy of our acquisition.

What troubles us now is how to obtain the shares of this company.

Due to the previous business war in this company, Zhihua Group holds 93% of the stock, which prevents us from effectively acquiring its stock and makes us very passive.

There are not many stocks circulating in the market, so we cannot properly cut a wave of leeks according to the plan. "

After listening to it, one of the old white-skinned men said:
"Why don't we choose to cooperate with Mr. Cao Zhihua?
You know, the richest man is qualified enough to come to the table and play cards with us. "

After hearing this, Charlie shook his head and said:

"It's not a question of whether Mr. Cao Zhihua is qualified to serve.

The biggest problem is that we don't have enough leverage to impress him.

You know, what these richest men are most indispensable for now is working capital.

As far as I know, the richest man, Mr. Cao Zhihua, has billions or millions of liquidity in the bank alone.

And our plan will do no harm to him.
The money we make from trading together is not very attractive to him.
And once he chooses to cooperate with us, his reputation will be greatly affected.

I don’t think any smart person in his current position would cooperate with us.
And our richest man is exactly a very smart man.

Moreover, he also has a huge think tank. It is impossible to hide our plan and its consequences from him.

So this is absolutely undesirable. From a strength perspective, once he knows our plan, we can only give up this plan because it is simply impossible to complete. "

At this time, after listening to everyone's speech, a white-skinned person who had been silent until now spoke:
"How about we find another company? If Zhihua Group is unwilling to cooperate, it will not be easy to use Zhihua Pioneer Real Estate to cut leeks."

"Mr. John Madden, are you scared that you were beaten by Mr. Cao Zhihua just once?
Don't you dare to move when you see it's him? "

John Madden looked at Baipi who spoke angrily and said:

"Bills, please watch your words, or I wouldn't mind helping your parents teach you a lesson."

Charlie heard the two people quarreling, knocked his pipe on the table, and said:

"Quiet, stop making noise.

Today we are here to discuss stocks. If you have other questions, please leave this door later. If you continue to argue, shut up now. "

When everyone saw Charlie getting angry, all the quarrels stopped. Charlie looked at the silent conference room, very satisfied with his authority, nodded and said:

"It is obvious how difficult it is for real estate trust companies to operate now. There are no circulating stocks in the market. No matter how we operate, there is not much we can do.

Of course, I will look for opportunities to interview Mr. Cao Zhihua again and try to get him to come up with a financing plan.
But our plan cannot pin all our hopes on one stock of Real Estate Trust Company.

So if you have time to quarrel here, why not go out, look for more suitable stocks, and take advantage of the current hot stock market to make a profit.

Okay, that’s it for today’s meeting. Let’s quickly find suitable stocks. "

After John Madden waited for everyone to walk out of the conference room, he said to Charlie:

"Mr. Charlie, I am reminding everyone out of good intentions. I am not really afraid of him, Cao Zhihua."

Charlie nodded towards John Madden with a smile and said:

"I know, I know, if Cao Zhihua was so easy to manipulate, he would have been wiped out and bankrupted long ago.
He will no longer be the richest man in Hong Kong Island. Anyone who underestimates him will not have a good result.

Although we chose his company this time because his reputation is easy to use and can help us raise everyone's expectations and stocks.
But it doesn’t mean that you can’t survive without it.
If we cannot persuade Mr. Cao Zhihua to raise funds, given that the real estate trust company has so few circulating shares, we can only give up the real estate trust company's stocks and choose other stocks for operation.

Mr. Madden, among our group of people, you have dealt with Mr. Cao Zhihua the most. How do you think you can persuade him? "

After John Madden thought for a moment, he sighed and said:
"Mr. Charlie, I can only tell you what I think of Cao.
Through contact and collision, I feel that Cao is very smart, very forward-looking in his work, and has a strong sense of the overall situation.

The most important thing is that this person is not greedy, obeys the rules, and is a good person.

So even the people in the Hong Kong government like this kind of capitalist, because Cao is the favorite type of person in capitalist society.

They are the elite of mankind, capable, skillful, decisive, and have a big heart.

Mr. Charlie, do you think you know the powerlessness you feel when fighting him?
Although I lost to Cao in this business war, I really admire him.

If you were not a party to both parties at the time, you would not be able to understand the powerlessness you felt when fighting Cao.

It really doesn't leave you any space, and every aspect is considered so tightly that you have no possibility of making a comeback. The pressure can make people suffocate.
So if there is any weakness in Cao Zhihua, it should be that he is more emotional.

Therefore, people who know Cao Zhihua, and people who have met him before, all say that Cao Zhihua is a person who values ​​feelings.
As long as he is his friend, if you ask him for help with something, he will really help, which is really hard to say to a friend.

This is one of the reasons why he is so popular in the Chinese business community. After all, everyone wants to have a friend who is capable and affectionate, right? "

After thinking for a while, Charlie said:
"So Cao Zhihua should be determined to build a reputation among Chinese businessmen and advance his influence and prestige, right?"

After John Madden thought for a while, he shook his head and said:

"Probably not. Cao Zhihua is a very proud person. Before the business war with us, he rarely went out to socialize and rarely made friends.
He had few friends at that time, but all his friends praised him.

After this business war with us, some of his past was dug out, and Cao Zhihua’s former friends came forward to confirm that,
That's why he has such a good reputation now.

So if we want to rely on persuading Cao Zhihua to implement our plan, we may need to find someone he considers a friend to come forward and persuade him. "

Charlie nodded, acknowledged John Madden's words, and asked:
"I heard that Mr. He Shanheng from Hang Seng Bank and Mr. Cao Zhihua have a very good relationship?"

"That seems to be the case. I heard that they have collaborated many times.

This time our acquisition of Wheelock Real Estate Trust Company was carried out by Hang Seng Bank. "

"Okay, I understand, I will ask Mr. He Shanheng to play waves together."
