Chapter 74 Shen Bi and Li Chaoren bribe Hutchison shareholders

The next morning.

in the HSBC conference room.

Sitting there were more than a dozen foreign devils in suits and ties.

These people are all current minority shareholders of Hutchison Whampoa, as well as senior executives of various departments of Hutchison Whampoa.

at the same time.

In the public phone booth downstairs of the HSBC headquarters building, a tall and powerful man ran over and quickly pressed the phone number.

The call was answered quickly.

"Hey, tell me."

"Boss, you guessed it right. All Hutchison Whampoa shareholders who own equity have been invited to come to HSBC, and they have already entered."

The person on the phone was none other than Zhuang Rongxu. Hearing Long Wu's report, the corners of his mouth curled up slightly.

"Good, I understand."

"Then boss, do you still need to continue monitoring?"

"No, come back, it's time to end it." After Zhuang Rongxu finished speaking, he hung up the phone.

He had known for a long time that Shen Bi, the chief executive of HSBC Bank, would not give Weili the opportunity to control Hutchison Whampoa, otherwise this would not be in line with the development philosophy of HSBC Bank.

That's why Zhuang Rongxu gave Wei Li 20% of his shares to fight Li Chaoren. So that Wei Li would fall into his plan and get the 15% of Hutchison Whampoa shares in his hands.

Otherwise, if he negotiates according to normal procedures, Zhuang Rongxu is really not sure that he can get 15% of his equity from Wei Li. And he was also worried that Wei Li would succumb to the power of HSBC in the end and trade his equity with Li Chaoren in advance. Then wouldn't everything he had done be in vain?

If he wants to snatch Hutchison Whampoa from Li Chaoren in the future, Zhuang Rongxu is confident that he does not have the ability yet.

Li Chaoren, a super old fox, has always had a rumor that after the 1980s, his company would always set aside a huge emergency fund no matter how difficult it was.

Just to prevent someone from sniping at his stock market.

Therefore, it will be very difficult to snatch Hutchison Whampoa from Li Chaoren in the future.

Only then did Zhuang Rongxu come up with this idea.

This time in the HSBC conference room.

"Everyone is gathered here today. I believe you all know what happened, right?"

"Villa, apart from Lee and Willie, you currently own the largest shareholding in Hutchison Whampoa Group, so I need to be the first to express my attitude."

This meeting was hosted by Shen Bi of HSBC, and now he is using his status as the head of HSBC to put pressure on these people and get them to all support Li Chaoren.

Li Chaoren and Wei Li now own about the same amount of equity in Hutchison Whampoa, and Wei Li is still the majority shareholder and general manager of Hutchison, so it is reasonable for him to prevent Li Chaoren from entering the Hutchison board of directors.

If he wants to change all this, he must make all other shareholders his. As long as other shareholders support Li Chaoren's entry into Hutchison's board of directors and make him chairman, Wei Li will be out.

Li Chaoren is another important chess piece for the future development of HSBC, so why wouldn't HSBC's senior manager Shen Bi come to help with this?

This matter is also related to the future development of HSBC.

"Taipan Shen Bi, I want to know if HSBC will fully support Li. In addition, we have another condition. If we agree, we will support Li."

"OK, please tell me." Shen Bi responded to the shareholder very calmly.

"If we help (Li) become chairman this time, then we need Li to sign an agreement with us to ensure that he will not drive us away from Hutchison."

"Ha ha ha ha……."

Shen Bi suddenly burst out laughing, leaving the Hutchison Whampoa shareholders present at a loss.

When Li Chaoren on the side heard these words from the person representing other shareholders of Hutchison Whampoa, he finally relaxed his tense face with a slight smile on his face.

"Billa, I agreed to this condition on behalf of Li. I promise that within three years, as long as you do not violate the group's regulations, he will never drive you away."

"Li, please say a few words too."

"Thank you, Chief Shen Bi." Li Chaoren bowed respectfully to Shen Bi.

Then he looked at the shareholders of Hutchison Whampoa with a smile on his face: "Everyone, Chief Shen Bi has already answered the conditions proposed by Mr. Villa just now for me, and I mean the same thing."

"In addition, under my management, I am confident that Hutchison Whampoa can double its profits within three years. This is my promise to everyone."

As soon as Li Chaoren finished speaking, his words immediately caused the shareholders of Hutchison Whampoa to discuss among themselves in whispers. Li Chaoren and Shen Bi smiled at each other and did not disturb their deliberations.

In less than a few minutes.

The shareholders of Hutchison Whampoa seemed to have discussed it, and Villa was the representative. He looked at Li Chaoren seriously: "Li, all of us are willing to support you, but Wei Li must leave Hutchison Whampoa. We don't want to Get revenge on him."

At this time, Li Chaoren gently reached out to help his eyes, then stood up and walked to Villa: "Thank you for your support. I promise you here that Wei Li will leave soon."

"OK, happy working together."

“A pleasure to work with.”

Li Chaoren shook hands with the shareholders one by one.

And Wei Li was still complacent, thinking that Hutchison Whampoa had fallen into his hands. At the moment, he is in the office thinking about how to achieve absolute control of Hutchison Whampoa Group as soon as possible.

Little did he know that the crisis was already approaching him.

after an hour.

After Li Chaoren and Shen Bi gathered the shareholders of Hutchison Whampoa, they came to the office and drank Kung Fu tea.

"Li, now that the other shareholders of Hutchison Whampoa have been settled, Wei Li must let him leave as soon as possible to avoid any further accidents."

"In addition, you also need to increase your stake in Hutchison Whampoa as soon as possible, preferably with absolute control." Shen Bi seriously suggested to Li Chaoren.

"Mr. Shen Bi, please rest assured. I have never given up buying Hutchison stocks in the market during this period. It's just strange that no orders have been completed in the past two days, and there are very few people placing orders."

"No order was completed?" This also made Shen Bi feel strange. It stands to reason that there are at least 15 million Hutchison shares circulating in the market. It is impossible that no order was acquired.

"Li, do you remember the last time you said that someone at Huaqi Bank secretly acquired Hutchison Whampoa? Do you think the 15% equity is in their hands? Otherwise, why would there be no transactions in the market?"

"In the hands of Huaqi Bank customers?" Li Chaoren was also surprised when he heard Shen Bi's words. He immediately became nervous, but he soon relaxed.

"Mr. Shen Bi, this should be impossible. Wei Li suddenly got 20% of Hutchison's shares. I think he acquired these shares through Huaqi." Li Chaoren responded calmly.

"Li! You mean that Wei Li asked Huaqi Bank to secretly acquire Hutchison's equity?"

Li Chaoren nodded slightly: "Besides him, I can't think of anyone else to compete with me. And how do you explain his sudden 20% increase in equity?" Li Chaoren analyzed.

"Then any news from the Nanyang Conglomerate that was spread before was false. Did Wei Li deliberately spread false news to confuse us?"

"What's the point of him doing this?" Shen Bi asked again puzzled.

"This is also the answer I want to know." Li Chaoren replied with his eyes closed.

These questions troubled the two old foxes and made them unable to figure out the problem.

After a while, Shen Bi spoke again: "Li, why do I always feel like something is wrong?"

Li Chaoren did not refute: "Yes, I also feel that there seems to be a hand pushing this matter to accelerate development. I hope we are overthinking it."

"OK, let's not think about it. Regardless of whether someone is operating secretly, you and Wei Li currently hold more than 70% of the shares in Hutchison. The other 14% of the shares are in the hands of other shareholders of Hutchison. Even if someone is behind the scenes, then The other party only has about 15% at most. It will have no impact on our plan." Shen Bi said calmly while picking up the teacup.

Li Chaoren couldn't figure it out either, so he could only nod his head and stop thinking about it.

"Li, you go back and prepare first. Get ready to hand over Hutchison Whampoa in the afternoon."

"OK, I'll leave first."

"see .you."

"see.you,my friend."

The time soon came to around 14:00 in the afternoon.

Hutchison Whampoa Group Building in Central.

"Ring ring ring!!!"

Suddenly the phone in Weili's office rang, and he slowly reached out to answer it.

"Hello, I'm Wei Li."

"Boss, Villa and other shareholders held an emergency board meeting. In addition, they notified the management of each department to come back and are already in the conference room."

"Convene a board meeting, and also notify the management of each department to come back and participate?" Wei Li frowned immediately after hearing this, stood up and asked doubtfully.

"Yes. They are waiting for you in the conference room."

After receiving the secretary's response, Wei Li fell into deep thought. After a long time, he hurriedly dropped the phone and ran to the conference room without putting on his coat.

When he came to the conference room.

Seeing Li Chaoren sitting in the main seat, Wei Li thought of something even though he was a fool.

But he still walked towards Li Chaoren's position with a look of disbelief.

"Although you are the owner of the group's equity, you only have the right to dividends. You are not welcome here. Please get out immediately." Wei Li yelled at Li Chaoren at the top of his lungs.

"General Manager Wei Li, we are all businessmen. Is it interesting for you to speak so loudly?"

"In addition, you may not know that all shareholders are very dissatisfied with the group you manage. Since Hutchison Whampoa changed ownership, you have been unable to solve the group's difficulties for so long. Therefore, I was invited by all shareholders to choose Something happened to the chairman." Li Chaoren said in a very calm tone.

But his words were very harsh when they reached Weili's ears, and they even hurt like a sharp knife thrust into his heart.

"What do you mean?" Wei Li stared at the other shareholders with eyes burning.

"Don't waste everyone's time. We have summoned the management of all departments of the group to come here today just to witness the selection of the chairman this time."

"The voting begins now. Shareholders who support Mr. Wei Li to become chairman are asked to raise their hands."

Weili looked at the other shareholders nervously, but as the seconds passed, no shareholder raised his hand. This made Wei Li laugh instead of being angry.

"Hahaha……."

"Ha ha ha ha……."

After a burst of crazy laughter, Wei Li slowly looked at Li Chaoren: "You won, but do you think you can really own Hutchison Whampoa?"

After Wei Li left a meaningful smile to Li Chaoren, he turned and left the conference room.

He knew it was useless to stay here, because all shareholders must have been bought by Li Chaoren. Therefore, after Li Chaoren becomes chairman, Hutchison Whampoa will definitely not have a place for him.

Rather than stay here and be humiliated, it would be better for him to simply leave.

I was notified at short notice to put it on the shelves, so I rushed to the market and set sail.
