Chapter 135
Because the two sides have already set the basic tone for the negotiation, George Steve did not chase after Zhao Qing after receiving Zhao Qing's instructions, and the most important thing for his lawyer on this side is to make sure that there are no traps in the contract.
An hour later, George Steve and HSBC's responsible staff appeared in Shen Bi's office.
Zhao Qing took a symbolic look at the few small revisions proposed by George Steve, Shen Bi also glanced at it, and then the two sides nodded, confirmed that there was no problem, and then handed it over to the person in the secretary's office to rearrange and print a new contract.
"Zhao Sheng, after the press conference, will we have a cocktail party? I dare to say that when the time comes, you will be the most dazzling person at the cocktail party. ”
When Shen Bi took Wen Jiàn out to reprint it as the secretary, his mind was completely relaxed, and he said to Zhao Qing.
For Shen Bi, this time it was a failure, but it was also a success, although more than half of the cash cow was taken, but on the other hand, they found a financial genius, someone who could make up for what they lost in the shortest possible time, it can be regarded as a win-win situation.
Of course, this is not the best result, but there is no way, although they have many ways to dilute Zhao Qing's shares, but there is a problem they must face, that is, when diluting, their shares are also diluted, which gives Zhao Qing an excuse to continue to acquire.
The most important thing is that the looming behemoth of Morgan Investment Bank behind Zhao Qing does not allow them to consider it carefully, and in Shen Bi's explanation and analysis of six long-distance phone calls a day, those old stubborns accepted his opinion.
"No, I still have a mess of things to do? ”
Zhao Qing glanced at George Steve and the others who were eager to try, and slowly shook his head and refused.
At this time, the celebration party was a little earlier for Zhao Qing, the main problem was that he liked a few people to drink, and he didn't like that kind of messy drinking party, the midfield and made him feel superficial, yes, some people wanted to squeeze into it, but Zhao Qing was not optimistic about it, it was not his preference, and the dirtiness and transactions on that occasion made him uncomfortable.
"Well, I'll follow your decision, but the title of independent director of the bank, you're going to wear it today. ”
Shen Bi also roughly guessed Zhao Qing's temperament when investigating Zhao Qing, and he didn't like this kind of occasion very much, especially when he was at New York University, it was difficult to see his shadow at the drinking party organized by the school, and for many of his NYU students, Zhao Qing was a good baby buried in the stacks of books.
"Let's take a break, you know I'm still in school, I don't have time to be here often, sometimes I don't come for half a year or even a year, I found a replacement for me, but he hasn't agreed yet, and we'll talk about it after he makes a decision. ”
"Oh my God, Zhao Sheng, do you know how important the position of independent director of HSBC is? ”
Hearing Zhao Qing's words, Shen Bi's face immediately turned into surprise, he didn't expect Zhao Qing to be so desperate to enter the board of directors at that time, but in the end he gave up and replaced him with someone else.
"Does it make any difference? He just makes some decisions on my behalf in the boardroom, and he doesn't have any real power, and the real decision-making power is still in my hands. “
The number of directors he values only is to be able to skyrocket a part of his equity, especially in such a large group, without a certain right, some of his demands are not answered, and the management and shareholders are sometimes opposed.
Zhao Qing, who has lived in the United States for nearly three years, has a clear understanding of this, he doesn't want to be just a shareholder and wait for dividends, in that case, he is undoubtedly a blind man, except for showing up at the shareholders' meeting and expressing his opinions, the rest of the time, he can express very little, especially when his interests are damaged.
"Okay, I respect your decision, but Zhao, there will be no board meeting at the headquarters this year, and the time for you to enter the board of directors will be at the shareholders' meeting before Christmas, I hope you don't forget it." ”
Shen Bi made a helpless expression, although Zhao Qing was small, he was very assertive, he had thoroughly understood this, and he also knew that it was difficult for Zhao Qing to change the decision he made, so he didn't continue to say anything.
At this time, Shen Bi's secretary walked into the office with the reprinted contract, handed them to the lawyers who were already waiting on both sides, and withdrew.
Zhao Qing and Shen Bi also stopped chatting temporarily.
As long as there are no problems with the contract, both parties can sign it again.
The first to complete is Shen Bi's side of your lawyer, the most important thing is that the lawyer's draft is drafted by them, they are most clear about the content of the opposite, Zhao Qing's side needs to wait a little, because it is both Chinese and English, George Steve verifies English, the lawyer hired by Xiangjiang verifies the Chinese draft, while verifying it separately, it is also necessary to ensure that the two contracts are consistent, this kind of bilingual contract is sometimes the most pitiful, one meaning is wrong, it is thousands of miles away.
Although it took a little more time, there was no problem with the general direction, no shirk, and no temporary change.
When both parties agreed that there was no problem, Zhao Qing and Shen Bi, as well as lawyers and personnel from the notary office that had been hired long ago, witnessed a multibillion-dollar investment in Shen Bi's office, and the dust settled.
In the end, Shen Bi's secretary went to a small camera and kept the process alive, although the reporters were not allowed to enter, but they always had to provide them with some information about the text at the time of the contract, and these materials would also be stored in HSBC's own archives.
After the two sides officially exchanged contracts, Zhao Qing and Shen Bi both had smiles on their faces, and their hands were clenched tightly.
A transaction came to an easy and simple end, and it took less than half a month before and after, which can be called fast.
After the contract was signed, Zhao Qing and Shen Bi handed over the text to the lawyer, and then sat down in the office again, and the following procedures were completed by the lawyer, and at the moment of signing, Zhao Qing was already one of the directors here, and those HSBC staff looked at Zhao Qing with an inexplicability in their eyes.
A young person who doesn't talk like a man has become a new big man who wants to take over this land at the age of a weak crown, which makes people have to think about it.
As for the press conference, a deputy general public relations department of HSBC and Zhao Qing's personal lawyer George Steve attended, and the two bigwigs opened a bottle of red wine in the room, tasted it slowly, and discussed the future trend and trend by the way.
