In the era when there were no smartphones, driving in a less familiar place was also quite a frustration.

Qi Long stopped three times in the middle of the car, and Qi Hu got out of the car and asked several passers-by before he inquired about the specific location of the financial branch.

In fact, the place is easy to find, just next to the road, it is a not bustling street, on both sides are some low-rise buildings in the form of housing + storefronts, the financial branch is in a gap, there is a vacuum on both sides, and many trees are transplanted and planted here. Although it is an enclosure, it also brings fresh air to nearby residents, and two "small parks", where some elderly people are sitting with small benches to enjoy the cool and chat.

As soon as Li Yadong and the three of them got out of the car, He Shihan had already come out of the five-story white building with several subordinates to greet them, obviously sitting in the office and paying attention to the downstairs at all times.

The first floor of the branch is a hall, only a service desk, no office area, the company here is different from the Hong Kong side, and now it is also doing some agency investment business. He Shihan said that the current domestic financial market is still relatively blank and chaotic, and there is not much room for large-scale operation, which is also a profit, at least it is enough to support employees.

She wanted to get it, and Li Yadong went with her.

In recent years, Li Yadong has actually slowly released some power, giving his bosses more personal space to play, and intentionally cultivating their abilities.

It is also necessary, his career is constantly expanding and improving, if the talent does not grow, how do you ask a district manager to do the job of the president of the Asia Pacific region?

Talents are hard to find, and loyal talents are even harder to find, and each of these CEOs under him has stood the test of time.

As long as they are interested in progressing, Li Yadong can even spend money for them to further their studies for free.

On the second floor is an open office hall with an airy space that is almost filled with small square-format desks and about forty staff members.

As soon as Li Yadong and his entourage came up from the stairs, a few people subconsciously wanted to get up, but they were glared back by He Shihan with a bead.

This is also the old tradition of Dongfanghong Group, and the old employees will know it if they don't engage in formalization.

Because Li Yadong would rather see them working seriously than saluting everywhere he went.

Further up, the third, fourth and fifth floors are independent office areas, with offices for various customer-facing business types, as well as the company's own administrative offices.

He Shihan's office and executive conference room are on the fourth floor, and after she waved off several branch backbones, she led Li Yadong into her office instead of the conference room, obviously with some private issues to discuss.

As for the Qi family brothers, she just glanced at it and ignored it.

It is very clear that although these two people are just bodyguards, their status in the boss's heart is only higher than her.

Sure enough, the boss didn't tell them to wait outside the door, and walked in directly.

He Shihan took out a bottle of mineral water from the refrigerator and poured a glass for all three of them.

"Say, what's important?"

"We're in trouble. He Shihan also sat down on the brown leather sofa and said with a solemn expression.

Li Yadong frowned, faintly guessed, and asked in a deep voice, "Cisco?"

He Shihan nodded, opened a blue folder that had been prepared on the desktop, then took out a document in English from it and handed it over, "The Cisco board of directors faxed it, you can take a look." ”

Li Yadong didn't answer, and asked directly, "What content?"

He speaks and understands English...... Or spoken and written, which are two different concepts. Especially this kind of standard administrative document, there are a lot of jerky words in it, rather than chewing the words yourself, and not directly letting He Shihan, a person with English level 10, write on her behalf - English is almost her mother tongue, and she has been teaching this since elementary school.

"This is a negotiation letter in which the Cisco Board of Directors intends to buy back all the shares in the company in your hands, according to the real-time share price. ”

"Oh?" Li Yadong smiled disdainfully, "so they think I'll agree?"

"That's the problem. He Shihan said.

Li Yadong frowned slightly, it seems that things are not as simple as they seem on the surface.

"There is nothing wrong with the whole part of this consultation letter, except for ...... There is a sentence at the end, which translates to Chinese meaning...... Some of them have bad breath. ”

"Straight to the point. Li Yadong raised his eyebrows, wanting to see what a few old guys on the Cisco board of directors could do.

It's really revenge overnight, as soon as Weichuang Technology won the majority of the order from the Chinese Academy of Sciences, it began to find itself unhappy.

It's just fair to say that even if Vitron Technology is out, Cisco will be able to take the lion's share?

When people are vegetarians, I haven't seen you them?

Two words - bastard!

"I hope to think carefully, otherwise you will bear the consequences. ”

"Smack!" Li Yadong slapped directly on the glass coffee table, shaking the mineral water in the white porcelain cup and spilling a little.

This is not only a bad tone, it is simply a naked threat!

He Shihan next to him was silent, and the Qi family brothers on the other side frowned.

About Tungko contacting Cisco, and taking a stake in Cisco, and then the Cisco board of directors kicked him out...... They are witnesses to everything that has happened to this day.

In their eyes, Cisco is simply a white-eyed wolf.

At the beginning, their founder cashed out the shares and left, and the company was in trouble and ran to the "Fortune 10 Billion" program to raise funds, but Dong Ge helped them, and with a wave of his hand, he smashed 460 million US dollars.

After a long time, Li Yadong took a deep breath, looked at He Shihan and asked, "What do you think?"

He doesn't have a lot of knowledge of the U.S. laws — it's hard to do that if you're not a professional, their laws are quite cumbersome. As a simple example, the laws vary from state to state.

According to common sense, when he signed the equity contract with Cisco, a lawyer was present, and he also found other lawyers to verify it later, which proved that there were no loopholes in the equity contract, so the Cisco board of directors should take him seriously......

But he is not stupid, since the other party dares to say "bear the consequences", he must already have a way to deal with him.

He Shihan has been in contact with the U.S. financial market for a long time, and this kind of affairs must be much clearer than he is.

"I thought about it. He Shihan said, "When I saw this sentence at the time, it was the same thing as what you were thinking now, that is, what is Cisco's means? Later, I thought about it again and again, and specially asked the Hong Kong headquarters to fax the equity contract over and look at it, and the result was just two words - invalid." ”

"Ineffective?" Li Yadong asked, "Does that mean...... Whatever they want to use against me won't work?"

"Yes. He Shihan nodded, "Our equity contract does have no loopholes, there is no repurchase agreement of any kind, and there is no VAM agreement, so according to the U.S. Securities Act, they do not have the right to force repurchase." ”

"So they're bluffing and scaring me?"

"Not really. ”

“……”

Li Yadong's just softened face was brought back to its original shape by He Shihan's four words.

"I think of a possibility, if they don't want to tear their skins and don't care about the media, maybe ......"

"Tear your face?" Li Yadong said "hehe", waved his hand to interrupt her, and said, "How can you have any face, it has already been torn." As for public opinion, not to mention, you know some of my things in the United States, there will not be any public opinion over there that is favorable to me, even if Cisco is at a loss. Let's just say it, what's possible?"

"Cisco can't force you to buy back your shares, but you may want to ask them to buy them back. ”

“……”

Li Yadong couldn't help but be speechless for a while, glanced at He Shihan, and thought to himself, do you look at me, like a fool?

"Boss, I know you value Cisco's stake very much, and once again, you were right. He Shihan seemed to know very well what he was thinking, sighed and said, "But believe me, if Cisco plays some tricks, you may actually take the initiative to apply for a share buyback from them." ”
