Chapter 408: Heart

Huamao officially signed an agreement to acquire 8% of the shares of Taihua Group from Li Shu, a third-party natural person shareholder and director, and the news was disclosed to the public over the weekend.

This pair of small and medium-sized investors who hold shares of Taihua Group is undoubtedly good news for a long period of drought and nectar.

In the sub-forum of Taihua Group on the Oriental Finance Network, the posts are all running to tell each other about this good news, full of joyful atmosphere.

However, at the opening call auction of the stock market on Monday, more than 30,000 sell orders once again pressed the stock price of Taihua Group on the falling limit, as if a basin of ice water was poured on the heads of many small and medium-sized investors, making people's hearts feel cold.

Cao Mo was indifferent to this, and after the preliminary work was ready, Tianyue Investment, Sun Hung Investment, and Dongsheng Holdings signed a cooperation agreement, entrusted Dongjiang Securities to set up an M&A fund, and officially launched irrevocable acquisition agreements with six securities companies that held the stock pledge rights of Taihua Group on Monday morning.

Cao Mo's conditions are better than Huamao, but they are also limited, after all, no one is a vegetarian.

Cao Mokai's total purchase price of RMB 1 billion was just enough to offset the principal amount of the loan made by the six securities companies to Xintaihua Investment, but did not include the interest generated by the loan and the penalty for non-compliance, and at the same time, they were required to jointly provide trust financing of RMB 500 million for the buyout fund together with Xinhai United Bank and [District 8] Xinhai Bullion.

As far as the six securities companies are concerned, they not only want to recover the principal and interest of the loans, but also do not want to bear any additional conditions for this.

The six securities companies agreed to advance and retreat together in dealing with the debts and pledged equity of Taihua Group, and Chen Hui, head of the asset management department of Guoye Securities, took the lead in setting up a special liaison office to coordinate relevant work.

As far as Taihua is concerned, they also know very well in their hearts that in addition to Tianyue and Huamao, they can't find a potential third buyer in China.

Therefore, Chen Hui, the person in charge of the asset management department of Guoye Securities, directly invited Cao Mo and Han Shaorong to meet with Jinhong on the night when he officially received the acquisition agreement, hoping that they could directly show their hole cards.

It is impossible for everyone to sit down to eat and drink calmly, the time of meeting is about eight o'clock, but Cao Mo asked Ding Zhaoqiang, Shen Ji, Ge Jun, Qian Wenhan and others to dine at Jinhonghui first, and then moved to an independent courtyard inside Jinhonghui to meet Han Shaorong and others who went to the appointment on time.

In order to show his impartial attitude, Chen Hui also rushed to Jinhonghui at this point.

Dong Chengpeng and Guo Jian, who hadn't seen each other for a while, accompanied Han Shaorong with Chen Xiaoping and others, and they saw Ding Zhaoqiang somewhat weak-hearted, and they were silent after sitting down.

Cao Mo took a bag of fish food, fed the koi fish in the fish pond with Cheng Xi in the yard, and waited for Chen Hui to arrive before going upstairs and taking a seat together.

The first cold snap in winter has already swept into Xinhai, sitting in front of the open window, Cao Mo is wearing a thin velvet sweatshirt, and she already feels a little chilly.

"Huamao acquired 8% of the equity from Mr. Li, I thought Huamao's intention was resolute enough," Han Shaorong picked up the cigar and lit it, stared at Cao Mo with gloomy eyes, and asked slowly, "What is the point of jumping out to stir up the situation at this time, do you think that Huamao is so stingy that he can't even open this price?" And I don't want to hide it from you, Huamao has signed an equity purchase agreement with Xinfeng Trading Company, the fifth largest shareholder of Taihua Group, todayβ€”β€” In other words, Huamao currently actually holds 12% of Taihua's equity, and then only needs to acquire another 18% of the equity to ensure the status of the largest shareholder, what do you use to fight me in this matter?"

Huamao acquired 8% of Taihua's shares from Li Shu, this news was officially disclosed yesterday, Ding Zhaoqiang, Qian Wenhan They were still quite shocked, and they didn't expect Han Shaorong to take 4% of the shares of Taihua Group held by Xinfeng Commerce and Trade today.

If the two really want to compete for a controlling stake in Taihua Group, Huamao can be said to have the advantage.

Especially today, Li Shu and Han Shaorong went to the appointment at the same time, and they sat together and talked happily.

As veterans of the business sea for many years, Ding Zhaoqiang and Qian Wenhan saw this scene, and they also knew very well that Han Shaorong really got the controlling stake in Taihua Group, and it was likely that he would terminate the equity purchase agreement with Li Shu and ask Li Shu to actually take charge of the operation of Taihua Group as an executive director - otherwise, Li Shu who would sell his equity to Huamao would really not need to participate in today's meeting.

Cao Mo had never seen Li Shu, and after listening to Ge Jun and the others introduce Li Shu's identity, the guess in his heart was even more determined.

He picked up a few melon seeds and knocked them up, and fearlessly shot back at Han Shaorong and said: "If you don't show up today, and directly offer a higher price than us, I may really know the difficulty and retreat, but not only did you come to Jinhonghui today, but you even talked a little more......

"The acquisition agreement you initiated is irrevocable, what tricks do I need to play with you?" Han Shaorong couldn't help but laugh and asked, "Could it be that I still expect you to tear up the agreement and withdraw from the acquisition?"

"You've got a lot of words,"

Cao Mo's terrifying intuition exerted itself to the extreme at this time, Han Shaorong's seemingly normal looks, words, and what he wanted to hide behind it, he made it clear with a little temptation, not to mention that he also analyzed Han Shaorong's and Hua Mao's style of acting during this time, and said with a contemptuous smile,

"Okay, save everyone's time, what are you thinking, I'll help you find out - you don't want to play tricks with me, you want to play tricks with Mr. Chen. ”

Han Shaorong showed a ridiculous look.

And Han Shaorong and Cao Mo were directly in love, Dong Chengpeng, Ding Zhaoqiang, Qian Wenhan, Ge Jun and even Chen Hui were eloquent, no matter how good their eloquence was, they were useless, so they quietly watched them fight.

Cao Mo became more and more sure of what Han Shaorong was thinking, and he would not restrain his edge, and directly pierced his intentions:

β€œ...... Obviously, everyone is thinking that the total quotation I finally made is unlikely to be higher than the penalty of the loan and interest contract owed by Xintaihua Investment, after all, I can't get an excess premium because I can't get along with you, but I end up cheaply getting the Lu family brothers. What you have to do is also to make Mr. Chen and several other securities companies in charge of this matter understand this. At this time, you seem to have taken 12% of Taihua's equity in your hands, then you only need to get 18% of the equity at a relatively high price from the hands of six securities such as Guoye, or more stable, get 20% to ensure the status of the largest shareholder, and the remaining 30% of the equity of the six securities companies, whether you can get it or not, it doesn't matter - the problem is that the six securities companies actually control 50% of Taihua In this way, the offensive and defensive alliance of the six securities companies will not be broken? Is it up to you to decide on what conditions to acquire the equity in their hands next, and they will no longer have room for bargaining. ”

β€œ...... You don't want to play this kind of clever trick to stir up discord," Han Shaorong sneered, "Even if I only want to acquire 30% of the shares, as long as Huamao becomes the largest shareholder of Taihua, what will Taihua's stock price look like, do you still need me to make a prediction here? Even if Guoye and other securities companies continue to hold Taihua's shares, what can be the problem? I am actually more worried that Guoye and other securities companies will transfer the shares to the names of related companies, and will no longer give them to me......

"Huamao's strength, I don't want to deny it, but what you just said undoubtedly exposed your mind more thoroughly,"

Cao Mo still knocked the melon seeds slowly and neatly, and said,

"You never thought about taking over Taihua to run it well, and you still thought about manipulating the stock price for profit from beginning to end. Mr. Li's appearance here today has further verified my judgment on you, is it true that your so-called acquisition of 8 percent of Mr. Li's equity will not actually be delivered? Even after I retreat in the face of difficulties, you will not completely acquire 50 percent of Taihua's shares from Guoye and other securities companies in the name of Huamao, right? Based on my understanding of you, it is enough for you to acquire 8-10 percent of the shares from Guoye and other securities companies in the name of Huamao. In this case, Huamao, together with Mr. Li's 8% stake, Xinfeng Steel Trade's 4% stake and Taihua's current management's 5% stake, can grasp the control of Taihua Group by signing a concerted action person agreement, which can make Taihua Group's operation seem to return to normal, but in fact it is not. What you really want to do is to take over the other 40% of the shares held by the six securities companies, and spread them out to companies that you control but don't seem to be related to each other. Then, your real goal is to manipulate Taihua's stock price to an unimaginably high price and then abandon these shares from the open market little by little to cash out. As for what Taihua Group will eventually turn into, you won't care about it!"

"The mouth grows on you, and you can say whatever you want. Han Shaorong said coldly.

"Of course, you guessed that I have been in contact with Sturgeon Foster privately - although Sturgeon is currently the executive director of Banco Nacional Ultramarino on behalf of the Foster family, he was arranged by the Foster family to be in such a place where birds don't, whether Sturgeon himself wants it or not, it shows that Sturgeon is not a very important person in the Foster family. So, you have a lot of connections, and if you have direct contact with the core of the Foster family, you can finally limit Sturgeon from working with me," Cao Mo said, "but you first have to convince them that you are serious about taking over the Taihua Group and you really want to promote the construction of a series of projects along Lake Conero." As for me, I just need Sturgeon to return to the UK and convince the core figures of the Foster family that Han Shaorong is more willing to easily make billions of huge profits by manipulating the stock price than taking billions of dollars to risk in the country of Kanem! Of course, if you really directly concentrate all the equity under the name of Huamao, and really have the intention to take billions of additional huge funds to promote the construction of a series of projects such as Conero Binhai New Town, New Taihua Oil Refinery and Conero Lake Port, then when I am really talking nonsense, I believe that Mr. Li and the existing management of Taihua will not listen to my nonsense from now on......"

Speaking of this, Cao Mo looked at Li Shu and asked with a smile: "Does Li always think that I am talking nonsense, or can we sit down and talk about cooperation next?"

"Have you forgotten that I have signed an equity transfer agreement with Mr. Li?" said Han Shaorong with an angry smile.

"Is there a clause in the equity transfer agreement you signed that involves liquidated damages?" Cao Mo stared at the faces of Han Shaorong and Li Shu and asked, and then said, "If there is, I will lose - there is not even a liquidated damages clause in the agreement, and it probably has the value of wiping the ass......"
