After finishing his work overseas, Chen Hui sent Zhou Tingting back to the Zhou family's mansion.
The car was driving super slowly, and in the car, Zhou Tingting was silent, looking out the window absentmindedly.
"Tingting, what do you want?"
Hearing Chen Hui's words, Zhou Tingting suddenly turned her head and looked at Chen Hui with complicated eyes, this guy, under her half-push and half-push, asked for her first time. She was just 20 years old.
Just a sophomore in college, she ate a 'forbidden wrap' with a man she hadn't known for a few days, so exciting, so ashamed, so self-blaming, so contradictory, so complicated, so overwhelmed.
She didn't understand why all this happened so quickly, so suddenly, looking at Chen Hui's bad eyes.
Zhou Tingting said a little incoherently: "Chen Hui, I'm not the kind of casual girl!"
Chen Hui smiled faintly and said, "It's okay to be casual with me, I don't mind at this point!"
"Bastard!" Zhou Tingting slapped Chen Hui hard, then turned her head to look at the night scene outside the window.
At this moment, in the Zhou family's mansion, Zhou Yusheng was chatting with a middle-aged man, the middle-aged man named He Guangping, worth more than 300 million US dollars, who had worked as a reporter and entered the family's manufacturing business during his father's illness. His wife, Claire, a former Singaporean MP, and his brother, Ho Kon Cjan, an architect, led the company into the hospitality industry.
Their Banyan Tree Resorts & Resorts (B a n y a nT r e e H o t e l s & Resorts) has been established for 16 years and now has 30 hotels and resorts and 70 spa resorts in 26 countries around the world.
It owns 6 properties in Thailand, and although the recent political instability in Thailand has not stopped, the group has not stopped expanding overseas.
New resorts opened last year in Mexico, Bang Country and the United Arab Emirates.
At this moment, He Guangping is still accompanied by Wei Huade, Wei Huade is the son born to him and his ex-wife Wei Xiaoxiao, after the divorce, Wei Huade followed Wei Xiaoxiao, and also changed his surname, following his mother's surname.
He Guangping and his son Wei Huade have been in the Zhou family's mansion for most of the day.
At this time, Zhou Yusheng pondered for a while, looked at Wei Dehua, and said: "Lao He, there is no problem with me being a father, not to mention that Xiaohua has also grown up since I was a child, and I am also very relieved about Xiaohua, but this also needs to wait for Tingting to come back, I will see if she agrees!"
"The marriage of the children depends on their respective opinions!"
Zhou Yusheng naturally knew what kind of character this Wei Huade was, a gentleman, raising a lot of young girls and young models outside, and making other people's stomachs bigger, and then denying it. But this is not a very big deal, at least Wei Huade likes Zhou Tingting, but Zhou Tingting has never taken a fancy to Wei Huade.
It has always been Weiward's wishful thinking.
Although his friend He Guangping brought his son Wei Huade to the door today to propose marriage, he can't make decisions for his only daughter now.
Zhou Tingting has been pampered since she was a child, and her temper is also very big, and he really can't make decisions for this daughter.
When Wei Huade heard this, his heart immediately tightened, today Zhou Tingting was taken out by that Chen Xiaohui, and now he has not come back, he is worried in his heart, for fear that Chen Xiaohui will do something bad to the goddess in his heart!
If Zhou Tingting falls in love with Chen Xiaohui, then he is really out of play.
Wei Dehua immediately said: "Uncle Zhou, I have liked Tingting for many years, and my heart has not changed over the years, but recently Tingting has been very close to a married man, and I am worried that she will be deceived!"
Immediately, Wei Huade crackled and said a lot, and splashed dirty water on Chen Xiaohui crazily, saying that Chen Xiaohui, a married man, hooked up with student girls everywhere, and at the same time he also showed Zhou Yusheng the video of Zhou Tingting being kissed by Chen Xiaohui in the school class.
In the end, he was very serious and swore and promised: "I hope my uncle can help me once, I can definitely give Tingting happiness!"
"I can swear to God!"
Zhou Yusheng didn't expect his daughter, Zhou Tingting was bullied like this at school, and someone dared to forcibly insult his daughter in class, and immediately scolded: "Bastard!"
At this time, Wei Dehua immediately said: "Uncle Zhou, I hope you can help me, I really want to give Tingting happiness!"
Although Zhou Yusheng was very angry in his heart, he was obviously not very foolish, and immediately said: "If this marriage is concerned, I still have to ask Tingting's opinion!"
Zhou Yusheng looked at Wei Huade's expression, pondered for a while, and said, "Don't worry, I will definitely not let Tingting contact that married man again!"
At this time, Wei Huade looked at his father for help, and said, "Dad, I will not marry Tingting in my life!"
Now the appearance of Chen Xiaohui made Wei Huade feel urgent and panicked, first watching his goddess Zhou Tingting being forcibly kissed by Chen Xiaohui in class, and then seeing Zhou Tingting being insulted by Chen Xiaohui in the car, making Zhou Tingting run out in disheveled clothes, at that time he couldn't wait to go up and fight with Chen Xiaohui!
Now under normal circumstances, he will definitely not be able to compete with Chen Xiaohui, so he can only rely on his family and Zhou Tingting's father to get out!
At this time, He Guangping said to Zhou Haosheng: "Old Zhou, I have a suggestion, we may be able to cooperate!"
Zhou Yusheng immediately said: "Lao He, please speak!"
For the sake of his son's happiness, He Guangping immediately set up conditions, he knew that Zhou Yusheng's group company now had a big problem!
However, Raffles Education Group has recently suffered setbacks in the Asia-Pacific region.
Shares are down 44 percent over the past year, and revenues have shrunk 13 percent in the most recent quarter due to lower enrollment rates in Asia.
In January, Malaysia's state-owned investment company Berhad paid US$44 million to buy a 10% stake in the group's Orient University City, and then private equity firm AIF Capital, which had planned to buy a 10% stake in the university for US$52 million, announced in April last year that it was closing out of the deal, saying there were too many uncertainties in the current market.
And the Thai government recently shut down Raffles Education Group's design school in Bangkok, claiming that the school was not legally authorized.
Today, Raffles Education is only a once-glorious company, with a market capitalization of S$2.6 billion (US$2 billion) in 2008, but its current market value is only one-seventh of that year, with a market value of about S$370 million (US$275 million).
Not long ago, Huang Hongnian, the second largest shareholder of Raffles Education, invested a lot of money again, increasing the stake from 11.47% to 14.04%, and now many people are speculating that the equity battle is about to be staged.
He Guangping continued at this time: "Old Zhou, that Huang Hongnian has invested so much money just to seize power with you!"
"You held a shareholder meeting earlier, how was it going?"
Zhou Yusheng smiled bitterly: "I was planning to reconcile with Huang Hongniannasi!"
Previously, Huang Hongnian asked Raffles Education to announce the names of investors who subscribed for the new shares and the shares they subscribed for.
However, as the company's chairman and president and largest shareholder, Zhou Weisheng declined to disclose such information.
Huang Hongnian then asked the company to convene an extraordinary general meeting of shareholders and moved to remove Zhou Yusheng from the positions of chairman and president. Now Zhou Yusheng is planning to reconcile with Huang Hongnian in private!
Mr. Zhou intends to privately enter into a preliminary agreement with Mr. Wong, agreeing to find a buyer to acquire Mr. Wong's shares at $0.44 per share, but Mr. Wong withdraws his request to convene an extraordinary general meeting.
However, Zhou Yusheng did not find a buyer according to the agreement, but just wanted to drag it out.
When the time comes, just fight the company with Huang Hongnian, he is not afraid of Huang Hongnian, anyway, it is just a word 'drag'!
At this time, after He Guangping listened to the details of Zhou Yusheng, he suddenly came up with an idea to get the best of both worlds!
So he said: "Lao Zhou, in fact, you don't have to reconcile with him, you can announce a private placement of 200 million new shares, or 20% of the expanded capital, and the placement price of S$0.30 per share is 9% lower than the market price, and it is also lower than the net assets per share of 0.546 yuan, with this private placement plan, dilute Huang Hongnian's equity, and then Huang Hongnian will have no choice but to take you, and you don't need to fight with him!"
"I'll buy these 200 million new shares, and all my voting rights for these shares will be given to you!"
"Then you can also be safe at the shareholders' meeting!"
"The two of us are united, plus your shares are more than 50%, Raffles Education will always be your final say, and there will be no shareholders who can challenge your authority!"
"The voting rights of these 200 million new shares are my dowry!"
"What do you think, Old Zhou?"
He Guangping looked at Zhou Yusheng with a smile, waiting for him to make a decision, for the sake of his son, he also made a bloody investment, these 200 million new shares are equivalent to 60 million US dollars!
It's a dowry!
The voting power of 200 million new shares is completely given to Zhou Yusheng, and he believes that Zhou Yusheng will definitely be moved!
Wei Huade also looked at Zhou Yusheng excitedly, expecting him to agree!
