Chapter 999 The domineering, high-profile Jiuding Securities
When Norman Shi Yahuai was led by the staff to the door of the small conference room, he knocked on the door, and then directly unscrewed the lock and pushed the door to enter.
The two groups of people who were talking fiercely in the small conference room immediately stopped talking and looked at the door where Norman Shi Yahuai was.
And Norman Shi Yahuai also took in all the scenes inside.
When he saw the face of the man standing opposite his red-faced nephew Wade Shi Yahuai, Rao is Norman Shi Yahuai was heavy, and his face couldn't help but change slightly.
Because that person is a well-known figure in Xiangjiang, Xia Yu's right-hand man, and the evil wolf raised by Xia Yu in his eyes - Wang Qi, general manager of Jiuding Securities Company!
Next to him, there was also a young man and a couple of middle-aged men, whom he simply glanced at and ignored.
The silence of the three parties was only a matter of a moment, and Norman Shi Yahuai immediately came back to his senses, and while walking towards Wade Shi Yahuai, he asked knowingly with an expressionless face: "Mr. Wang Qi, what is the purpose of coming to my company today?"
As soon as his words came out, his cold, unwelcome attitude was undoubtedly revealed.
Wang Qi didn't care, he smiled faintly, waved his horse, and said brightly: "Mr. Norman Shi Yahuai, the purpose of my coming today is very clear, that is, I hope to be able to fully acquire Swire Airlines, and the acquisition offer has been handed over to your nephew, Mr. Wade Shi Yahuai!"
As he spoke, Wang Qi motioned to Norman Shi Yahuai and looked at the document in front of Wade Shi Yahuai's desk.
Norman Shi Yahuai just glanced at it with a blank face, and had no interest in picking it up and opening it for browsing.
He then sat down with a golden knife and blatantly refused: "The equity of Swire Airlines will never be sold to the outside world, and Mr. Wang Qi can go back to Xia Yu to give an account!"
Since his uncle Norman Shi Yahuai came, Wade Shi Yahuai naturally took a back seat and left all the power to his uncle, and he sat down again and stared at Wang Qi with indignant eyes.
Wang Qi's eyes narrowed, and then he casually led the person to sit down again, propped his elbows on the table, crossed his palms, leaned forward slightly, and put on a very aggressive posture, his words were not hurried, but they gave people a feeling of being loud: "Mr. Norman Shi Yahuai, you don't have to refuse so resolutely, it is very unwise for you not to leave yourself a way out when you don't know what is going on." ”
Norman Shi Yahuai sneered and retorted strongly: "Mr. Wang Qi, in your Chinese words, I have eaten more salt than you have ever eaten rice, and you are sure that you are teaching me a lesson now?"
As soon as these words came out, everyone on Norman Shi Yahuai's side stared at Wang Qi coldly, and many people had anger on their faces, insulting their heads, isn't it just insulting them?
Although the atmosphere instantly became-for-tat, Wang Qi's face was unwavering, and he smiled faintly, "It's not a lesson, it's just a fact, Mr. Norman Shi Yahuai might as well consider this matter carefully, the takeover offer has written a lot of information clearly, I think you can develop the Swire Consortium to this point, you must be a person full of wisdom!"
"Now it looks like you need to calm down, so I'll come back next time!"
After speaking, Wang Qi got up, looked at a few people behind him, and motioned for them to go with him.
Before he came, Wang Qi had already deduced what might happen, and the situation that the Shi Yahuai family was trying to resist and disgust was within his expectations.
So he didn't think that the Shi Yahuai family would obediently raise their hands and surrender, if the Shi Yahuai family was so easy to speak, then Chairman Xia Yu would not have made so much effort to do the preliminary work.
This is destined to be an acquisition full of twists and turns, Chairman Xia Yu gave him enough time, and he also had enough patience!
The main purpose of this time is to send a letter of tender offer, and at the same time show an attitude and create psychological pressure on the Shi Yahuai family as much as possible.
The things have been delivered, the attitude is very clear, the purpose has been fully achieved, what's the point of staying here and arguing.
Seeing that Wang Qi was leaving, Norman Shi Yahuai was a little unexpected.
But he was shocked but not confused, and when Wang Qi was about to leave, he seized the opportunity to ask: "Mr. Wang Qi, have you also acquired the equity of Cathay Pacific held by Standard Chartered Bank and HSBC?"
Wang Qi paused, looked at Norman Shi Yahuai for a long time, showed a smile, and replied without concealment: "Mr. Norman Shi Yahuai, I know what you want to know, I can tell you everything!"
Norman Shi Yahuai's face changed slightly, and he stared at Wang Qi calmly, waiting for his next step.
Immediately afterwards, Wang Qi's voice sounded again: "Now we already hold 54% of the equity of Cathay Pacific Airways and 66.5% of the equity of Xiangjiang Airport Ground Handling Company!"
"I believe that at this time, someone is already taking over these two companies!"
"You'll get the news soon!"
"Confrontation only makes things worse!"
"Mr. Norman Schiaw, we will not let you suffer, I believe that you will not be controlled by emotions. ”
After speaking, Wang Qi nodded to Norman Shi Yahuai, who had an ugly face, and then decisively led people away, leaving only Norman Shi Yahuai and others who were in a bad mood and had an ugly face.
For a while, the atmosphere in the small conference room was stagnant, and the others knew that Norman Shi Ya was angry, and they didn't even dare to gasp.
Less than a minute after Wang Qi and the others left, a series of hurried footsteps came from outside the door, and the sound was getting closer and closer.
When the owner of the footsteps appeared at the door, Norman Shi Yahuai and the others looked at him in unison.
Under the gaze of the boss and others, the employees who were already panicked were so frightened that their legs trembled, and they almost didn't kneel, their throats seemed to be choked, and the urgent things they originally wanted to report couldn't be said at all.
Fortunately, at this time, Wade Shi Yahuai spoke up and asked in a calmest voice: "What happened?"
The reporting employee was stunned for a moment, and then hurriedly said: "Chairman, just now Cathay Pacific Airways called, a group of people from Jiuding Industrial Group took the equity certificate and the contract, under the leadership of Song Dong and the vice president of Standard Chartered Bank, to forcibly take over the company, the specific situation is not clear for the time being, all the executives have been called to the meeting, and now I will notify you to go to the meeting." ”
After finishing speaking, the employees looked at Wade Shi Yahuai and Norman Shi Yahuai and others, but they were stunned to find that the imaginary situation that shocked the chairman did not happen, did the chairman know in advance?
Naturally, no one paid attention to his psychological journey.
Wade Shi Yahuai looked at his uncle Norman Shi Yahuai with a solemn face, and said: "Uncle, they really did it, if it is really 54 percent of the equity, it will be really troublesome! If we don't go, they can directly remove the board of directors to take over the company through the extraordinary general meeting of shareholders!"
"Even if we go, I'm afraid we won't be able to stop it......"
The reason why Wade Shi Yahuai is so pessimistic is because English law gives shareholders sufficient rights.
According to section 184 of the English Companies Act, an extraordinary general meeting may be convened if 10% of the shareholders unanimously propose, and shareholders may vote to remove any director whose term has not yet expired, notwithstanding any provision in the articles of association or any agreement between the directors.
And while the UK Companies Act protects the directors of a company, it also protects the shareholders, and the "one-vote veto" can be invalid here.
As long as the general meeting of shareholders removes the board of directors in accordance with the general resolution procedure and not through the special procedure, then it is entirely possible to apply the UK Companies Act and remove the board of directors as long as a simple majority of shareholders present at the meeting agree.
Let's give an example simply.
If all shareholders attend the general meeting, it can be passed as long as more than 50% of the valid votes representing the shares are held.
And if Wade Shi Yahuai does not go now, and the other two companies do not go either, only Jiuding Industrial Group, then because the shareholding ratio of Jiuding Industrial Group meets the meeting standard, it can be held smoothly, play by himself, vote 100%, unilaterally remove the board of directors, and forcibly take over the company.
This is the right of the largest shareholder, and it is also the super-large shareholder who holds more than half of the shares.
So no matter whether you go today or not, as long as Jiuding Industrial Group decides to remove the board of directors, then through the general resolution, you will be able to get your wish, and Norman Shi Yahuai will also lose the chairmanship.
His veto power can only be used to re-elect the board of directors.
This is because the articles of association have already stipulated in the re-election of the board of directors, and the UK Companies Act also stipulates that two-thirds of the shareholders present must agree before the re-election of the board of directors can be made.
So removing the board of directors is simpler, as long as more than 50% agrees.
If the Board of Directors were to be elected, a two-thirds voter turnout would be required!
I went to a meeting today, so I still have the opportunity to resist and make chaos as a-stirring stick.
If not, then Jiuding Industrial Group has successfully elected a chairman who represents their interests, which will be even more disadvantageous to Swire Airlines!
Norman Shi Yahuai is an old oilman in the business world, and he has done a lot of domineering things in the field of capital, and there are not too many Chinese who are oppressed, so he naturally knows these routines.
He immediately ordered: "You go over, you must do your best to stop it, and at the same time find out the situation!"
Wade Shi Yahuai nodded solemnly, and then combined with what Wang Qi said before, he said to Norman Shi Yahuai: "Uncle, they should do it to the ground handling company of Xiangjiang Airport, if there is a time conflict, I went to Cathay Pacific, and I can only let others pass." ”
He did not ask his uncle to come over because his uncle, Norman Shi Yahuai, was the chairman of the Swire Group, but he did not hold a position on the board of directors or chairman of Swire or a number of companies under it, so he could not represent Swire in the meeting.
At this moment, another series of hurried footsteps came from far and near.
Norman Shi Yahuai, who had had an experience, had a heavy face and stared straight at the door.
Sure enough, another employee ran in in a panic and told the matter directly: "Chairman, I just received a notice from the Xiangjiang Airport Ground Service Company that the company's major shareholder has been changed to Jiuding Industrial Group, and they have notified you to have a meeting in the past!"
Wade Shi Yahuai said with a gloomy face: "I know ......"
He was about to say more, but his head jerked out the door again.
Sure enough, a familiar scene appeared again.
Only this time it wasn't what they expected.
Seeing that it was not an employee of the reception department, but a middle-level employee in charge of the capital market, Wade Shi Yahuai suddenly sighed in his heart.
Don't......
Sure enough, the next nervous report of the employee who came to report verified the conjecture in his mind and made his face change.
"Chairman, something happened, the stock of Xiangjiang Aircraft Engineering Company skyrocketed, because Jiuding Securities Company bought shares in the market at double the price!"
Jiuding Securities Company is not hidden at all, it seems that everyone wants to know, and now the capital market has been shaken by this statement of Jiuding Securities Company. ”
"Are we going to raise capital to join the acquisition?"
Wade Shi Yahuai did not answer, he turned his head to look at Norman Shi Yahuai, his expression was extremely ugly, almost crying.
PS: I wrote it to more than two o'clock, my back hurt and I was dizzy, I went to sleep, everyone don't stay up late, rest early after reading!
