"Jiuding Industrial Group?"

Norman Shi Yahuai frowned and muttered the name, vaguely remembering that he had seen Jiuding Industrial Group as a shareholder of Xiangjiang Airport Ground Service Company.

However, it has been a long time, and he mainly focuses on the affairs of the parent company and the first-level subsidiary, and does not pay so much attention to the third-level subsidiary of the Xiangjiang Airport Ground Service Company, so his memory is very vague.

He asked his nephew Wade, "When did Jiuding Industrial Group enter this company?"

Wade Shi Yahuai immediately explained: "Uncle, this is a long time ago, 15% of the equity held by Jiuding Industrial Group originally belonged to Hutchison Whampoa, and Hutchison Whampoa was later acquired by the Jiuding Consortium. ”

Norman Shi Yahuai looked abrupt.

He thought for a while and asked, "According to daily observations, does Jiuding Industrial Group have any actions or tendencies?"

Wade Shi Yahuai pondered for a long time, shook his head and said: "No, although Jiuding Industrial Group holds a lot of shares, but it does not have a strong sense of existence, except for the dispatch of directors and financial supervisors, almost ignore the company's operation, even if the board of directors is opened, as long as the proposal is for the development of the company, they will agree." ”

Hearing his nephew say this, Norman Shi Ya's brows still did not stretch, and the suspicion in his heart became stronger.

"If Bao Yugang is just to strengthen strategic cooperation, he only needs equity, and he doesn't necessarily have to buy it from us, with the relationship between the Chinese, it must be easier to acquire, why should he find us?"

After thinking for a long time, Norman Shi Yahuai found a suspicious point.

Wade Shi Yahuai was stunned, his face instantly became solemn, and he immediately said: "Uncle, I came in too much of a hurry, and I only cared about the purpose of analyzing Bao Yugang, and I didn't have time to confirm the equity of the other three shareholders. ”

Norman Shi Yahuai instructed: "Tomorrow you contact the three shareholders separately, and you must confirm their equity status. ”

"There is a serious collusion between the Chinese, and it is difficult to guarantee whether they have colluded or not, you must be 100% sure. ”

"Try to confirm within two days, and if you need help, just ask me. ”

Wade Shi Yahuai nodded and said, "Okay, I'll do my best to investigate." ”

......

In the next two days, Wade Shi Yahuai first contacted Cao Guangbiao, who held the largest shares.

Cao Guangbiao, in accordance with Garth Liddell's advice, said that because he had taken a big step forward in expanding the plant, the amount of funds was tight, and he could not afford to repay the loan from Standard Chartered Bank.

Wade Shi Yahuai also visited Garth Liddell, the president of Standard Chartered Bank of Hong Kong, to confirm this matter, and learned from Garth Liddell that Standard Chartered Bank is optimistic about the aviation market and has held a meeting to discuss the decision to hold the equity for a long time until it is listed.

Wade Sharper believed Gals Liddell's words and invited him to find a candidate to serve on the company's board of directors.

Then he found Huo's Group to confirm the shareholding information, and learned that the equity of Xiangjiang Airport Ground Service Company held by Huo's Group had been pledged to the bank, and he also saw the pledge loan contract.

In the end, Wade Shi Yahuai found Jiuding Industrial Group.

Unexpectedly, Jiuding Industrial Group directly admitted that the equity had been transferred to Bao Yugang, so straightforward and frank, which made Wade Shi Yahuai messy on the spot, and then hurriedly returned to the family after reading the equity transfer contract to confirm the matter, and reported the matter to his uncle Norman Shi Yahuai.

That evening, in the living room of the Shi Yahuai family villa.

After listening to Wade Shi Yahuai's detailed report, Norman Shi Yahuai frowned slightly, and kept replaying this information in his mind, trying to find some connections.

He always felt that something was wrong, and it seemed to be a coincidence.

Cao Guangbiao's equity was transferred to Standard Chartered Bank during this time, and according to Garth Liddell, no one has been selected yet, so it has not been connected with the ground handling company of Hong Kong Airport.

Norman Shi Yahuai did not doubt Huo Yingdong's equity pledge, because according to his nephew Wade, he saw the pledge loan contract with his own eyes, and the lender was the Bank of China in Xiangjiang, and the contract was signed for three years, and the signing time was February 16 last year, which has been more than a year now.

He never thought that this pledge loan contract would be fake.

After all, Huo Yingdong's relationship with the mainland is well known, and the Bank of China is more likely than other banks to take the risk of accepting a pledge of shares of the unlisted Xiangjiang Airport ground handling company.

Standard Chartered ......

Norman Schiaw's mind flashed through Standard Chartered, and he remembered his business dealings with Standard Chartered and his friendly personal relationship with Garth Liddell.

After a long time, Norman Schiawy found the phone book, picked up the phone, and dialed the phone at Garth Liddell's house.

During the call, Garth Liddell behaved as usual, as warm as ever to Norman Shi Yahuai, and sent him an invitation to a party.

In response to Norman Shi Yahuai's inquiry, Garth Liddell "told the truth" and said that he was optimistic about the aviation market, and if Swire Group wanted to vigorously expand in the aviation field, he would come up with greater preferential policies and support than HSBC, hoping that the two sides would strengthen cooperation......

After the conversation, the topic ran away directly, involving the competition between Standard Chartered Bank and HSBC, as well as the co-optation of Swire Group and Norman Shi Yahuai.

Garth Liddell's enthusiasm and attitude dispelled Norman Shiyahuai's doubts about Standard Chartered.

"It seems that I am thinking too much, the cooperation between Swire and Standard Chartered is so deep, it is impossible for Garth Liddell to trick me......"

After Gals Liddell's call, Norman Shi Yahuai's only concern was Bao Yugang's acquisition of the shares held by Jiuding Industrial Group.

He thought about it for a while, and instructed Wade Shi Yahuai: "Wade, you call Bao Yugang now and ask him directly if he has this matter." ”

Wade Shi Yahuai answered, then flipped to the number from the phone book and dialed it directly.

More than ten seconds later, the phone was connected, and Bao Yugang's deep voice came from the microphone.

"This is the Bao family, who is it?"

Wade Shi Yahuai said with a smile: "Mr. Bao, good evening, I am Wade Shi Yahuai, I'm sorry to disturb you so late!"

Bao Yugang's enthusiastic voice immediately came from the earpiece: "It turned out to be Mr. Wade Shi Yahuai, I didn't bother at all, I am very happy to receive your call." ”

"Is there anything you can do? Have you already made a decision?"

Wade Shi Yahuai replied: "Let's not talk about that matter for now, I have something I want to confirm with you. ”

"Did you acquire the equity of the Xiangjiang Airport Ground Handling Company held by Jiuding Industrial Group?"

After asking, Wade Shi Yahuai held his breath, looked up at his uncle Norman Shi Yahuai, and found that he was squinting, leaning forward slightly to approach the phone.

There was silence on the other end of the line for three seconds.

Just when Wade Shi Yahuai thought that Bao Yugang would quibble, Bao Yugang's calm words came from the earpiece: "It turns out that you already know, that's right, I acquired the equity held by Jiuding Industrial Group." ”

Wade Shi Yahuai and Norman Shi Yahuai's uncle and nephew looked at each other and fell silent......
