Chapter 397: Seed Ticket
(.) Zhou Liwen had a lot of fun on Dongsha Island, not only caught a big fish worth recording, but also happened to meet the patrolling Taiwan Strait Navy the day before leaving, although Zhou Liwen had a few people holding passports that were big 6, but after all, everyone was a descendant of Yan and Huang, and Zhou Liwen's yacht was not ordinary at a glance, plus Richard, who had a relatively high exit rate, people recognized it at a glance. Under the warm invitation of the other party, Zhou Liwen and the others also went to the island for a walk, and conducted a "military-civilian fishing and water situation" with the local garrison, until the evening, when they reluctantly said goodbye to each other.
Moored overnight in the waters of Beiwei Beach, and the yacht returned after dawn the next day. Calculating the time, at noon when he returned to Xiangjiang, Zhou Liwen simply slept for a while, and when he got up and freshened up and came out of the cabin, it was already close to ten o'clock.
"It's hard work" Zhou Liwen came to the cockpit and thanked the captain and navigator, thanks to their rich experience in the past few days, otherwise they wouldn't be able to handle such a long-range line only by Zhou Liwen. In addition, the big fish that Zhou Liwen caught would not have been possible if it weren't for the captain's guidance, although they were also their own subordinates, but after all, Zhou Liwen had almost let go of the Guo family.
The captain and navigator were very polite, and when they heard Zhou Liwen say their hard work to them, they immediately smiled heartily: "What's so hard about this, compared with our previous ocean-going trips, I don't know how much more comfortable this kind of travel is." Dong Chou, it's not like I'm a bull bragging, let's not mention such a good boat, even if it's a sailboat for fishing, it's a piece of cake. ”
The navigator also nodded with a smile on the side, and specially praised Zhou Liwen's luck. Not to mention, the sea has been calm in the past few days, it is indeed a rare good weather, coupled with Zhou Liwen's harvest from sea fishing, they can be regarded as a full return.
"Mr. Niu, are you still used to it in the shipping company?" Zhou Liwen handed over two cigarettes, the other party thanked him and took them, and after lighting the cigarette, Zhou Liwen asked casually.
The captain, who is now the vice president of the shipping company, said with a smile: "What is not used to, my old Niu has been dealing with the sea in his life, and now that he is older, the company understands that I will not let me run the ship anymore, and gave me the position of vice president to manage the route, which is also an affirmation of my work over the years." But Dong Zhou, to be honest with you, I'm used to staying on a ship, and I used to spend at least 3o days out of 36 days a year on a ship, but now? On the ground at 6 every day, I go to and from work on time like ordinary people, although it is easier than before, but I don't know what is going on, and I don't know what is going on, and ......I am not energetic. ”
"Uncle Niu, you are a typical young lady, and you can't live a good life." The navigator joked on the side, and Zhou Liwen and Vice President Niu were both happy at the same time.
After laughing a few times, Vice President Niu nodded and said: "That's true, it's okay to say that I'm cheap, I won't enjoy happiness, anyway, I've been at sea for most of my life, and I don't fit in when I return to 6 places." Speaking of which, I really thank you, Dong Chou. ”
"Thank me?" Zhou Liwen wondered, could it be that Vice President Niu said the opposite?
Vice President Niu smiled: "This time Guo Dong asked me to find an experienced captain, I asked him what was the matter, and he told me that you have to go to sea." When I hear this, I still need to find someone else? I'm on my own. No, I've been around the sea for the past few days, and my spirit is much better all of a sudden, and the insomnia I had some time ago is gone, and my appetite for food is several times better. Please, if you or your friends want to go to sea in the future, remember to come to me directly, I don't care if I have money or not, as long as I can make a circle at sea every month, I can ensure a long life. ”
Zhou Liwen was suddenly happy, smiled and nodded in agreement. Vice President Niu's request is not excessive, and Zhou Liwen is also very easy to do, although he does not grow up in Asia, don't forget that there are Richard, these Xiangjiang tycoons often like to go to sea to play, let Richard arrange for Vice President Niu is simply a gesture.
Just as Zhou Liwen was thinking about how to tell Richard about this, he said Cao Cao, Cao Cao arrived. I heard the sound of footsteps, and looked back towards the hatch, and saw Richard coming.
Strode into the cockpit, saw that Zhou Liwen was also Richard was slightly stunned, then nodded to Zhou Liwen, and then asked Vice President Niu: "Captain, how long will it take for us to arrive at the port?" ”
Vice President Niu looked at the instrument and replied, "According to the normal flight, it is estimated that it will take two and a half hours." ”
"Two and a half hours?" Richard suddenly frowned and asked, "Can you hurry up?" ”
"Yes, we can save six minutes at the top of the boat, but the hull will be very turbulent, and the long-lasting high fuel economy and motivation damage will be very high."
"It's ......." Richard hesitated for a moment, and he couldn't help but look at Zhou Liwen. If this was his own ship, he wouldn't have this concern at all, but the key is that this boat is Zhou Liwen's, although they have a good relationship, it is very rude to skip the shipowner and give orders to the captain as a guest
"What's wrong?" Zhou Liwen looked at the satellite phone in Richard's hand, and his slightly frowning brow saw the impatience in the other party's heart, walked up to him and asked softly.
"Something is wrong with the company, and I have to rush back as soon as possible." Richard replied softly. Zhou Liwen thought for a while and said, "You give me the phone." ”
After receiving the phone, Zhou Liwen pressed the number, said a few words to the phone, and then hung up the phone: "Mr. Niu, slightly improve the voyage, you arrive at the position of xx xxx as soon as possible, I have already let the helicopter rush over." ”
"No problem, I'll be there in 3 minutes." Vice President Niu received the coordinates and immediately calculated and immediately answered, seeing Zhou Liwen nodding in agreement, he first picked up the intercom to remind the passengers in the cabin that the ship will soon add course, there will be violent turbulence and discomfort during the voyage, please do not go to the deck for the time being, stay in your own cabin to ensure safety.
After speaking, Vice President Niu looked at Zhou Liwen and Richard, signaled them to also get off the cabin first, and after Zhou Liwen and them left, Vice President Niu repeated the warning with the walkie-talkie, and then began to add to the boat, and in a whole roar, the hull of the ship split the waves like a sharp sword, and sailed towards the target at a height close to 4o knots.
Zhou Liwen and Richard returned to the cabin, and just as they wanted to ask him what had happened, the ship began to mention it. At this mention, the turbulence of the hull was extremely strong, and it was accompanied by a huge mechanical roar, which made it impossible to even stand on its feet. Zhou Liwen and Richard hurriedly found a chair to sit down to avoid beating, but not long after, under this kind of bump, their faces began to turn a little white, if it weren't for their good physical fitness, it was estimated that they would be seasick.
Fortunately, this level did not last long, and after about 2 minutes, the degree gradually decreased. Then, Vice President Niu told Zhou Liwen through the walkie-talkie that he was approaching the coordinates.
"What's wrong?" When Zhou Liwen and Richard got out of the cabin, Guo Tao, Brother Jun, Pang Yishan and others also came out, and their faces were not very good-looking, and even a girl brought by Brother Jun vomited because of seasickness. Seeing Zhou Liwen, Brother Jun hurriedly asked what the situation was.
"It's nothing, Richard has something urgent to rush back, so I'll mention it for the time being, I'm sorry everyone, I'm sorry for the trouble for you." Zhou Liwen patiently explained, Richard also said sorry to everyone again and again, and everyone didn't blame him, they all said very generously that it didn't matter.
Every few minutes when the ship arrived at the coordinates, a small black dot appeared in the sky, and soon there was a burst of engine sounds. The helicopter called by Zhou Liwen was indeed on time, arrived at the location on time, and saw the helicopter arrive, and the navigator went on deck to direct the temporary landing of the helicopter.
Seeing the helicopter coming, Richard hurriedly walked towards the helicopter, Zhou Liwen followed a few steps at this time and asked if he wanted to accompany a...
Get up and go back. Richard hesitated for a moment, then nodded, and said something that this matter has something to do with Zhou Liwen anyway, Zhou Liwen is strange, but now is not the opportunity to ask, so he turned around and greeted the military brothers, and got into the helicopter with Richard one after the other, and when they just sat down, the helicopter took off.
Half an hour later, the helicopter returned to Xiangjiang and stopped directly on the roof of the Richard's company building. After getting off the plane, Richard took Zhou Liwen into the elevator through the passage, and they were sitting in Richard's office a few minutes later.
"What's going on?" Zhou Liwen poured himself a glass of water, this tossing made him a little dizzy, and he felt much better after drinking the water in a big gulp, and he had the opportunity to ask Richard again.
"Don't worry, let me check first." Richard made a quiet gesture to Zhou Liwen, then picked up the phone and dialed a number, and soon two telecommunications executives entered Richard's office, they handed Richard a folder, and then whispered something to him. Because the office was very large, Zhou Liwen sat on the sand near the window and didn't hear what they said clearly, but he could see that Richard's face was very ugly, and there was a trace of anger in his eyebrows.
Opening the folder and glancing at it, Richard waved at them, and the two quickly left. After they left, Richard walked to Zhou Liwen and sat down, picked up the cigarette that Zhou Liwen put on the coffee table, lit one, and inhaled violently, probably smoking too violently and coughed violently.
"Richard?"
"You look at it first, cough cough, look at this." Richard pushed the folder towards Zhou Liwen, Zhou Liwen picked it up and opened it suspiciously, and when he saw it for the first time, he was stunned, and looked at Richard in disbelief.
"Let's see it again, we'll talk after we've read it all." Richard motioned to Zhou Liwen to read it and then speak, Zhou Liwen looked down carefully, the more he looked at it, the more he frowned, if this thing is true, then it is understandable that Richard is in a hurry to come back, if Zhou Liwen knows this, he will do the same.
"Confirmed?" Zhou Liwen closed the folder after reading it and asked solemnly.
"Do you think they're going to play this joke on us?" Richard asked rhetorically, he used the word "we" instead of me here, because this matter not only involved Richard, but even Zhou Liwen also had a part, which is why Zhou Liwen said that sentence when he was on the boat when he asked him if he wanted to come back with him.
"Strange...... It's weird. Zhou Liwen frowned, he felt that this matter was a little strange, it stands to reason that this almost like a joke could not exist at all, but it was placed in front of himself and Richard. In addition, the person who came up with this thing is also a celebrity in Xiangjiang, although he is not as rich as a family, and he is also worse than the Guo family and other rich people, but he is also a person with a head, a face and status. How can such a person make a joke casually? But this thing seems to be a joke.
Bai Fugui, chairman of the board of directors of Guangdong Group, don't listen to this name, but this person is a celebrity in Xiangjiang. Bai Fugui, who has assets of hundreds of millions of dollars, is not only the chairman of the board of directors of Guangdong Group, but also a well-known philanthropist, a Ming family and an industrialist, and even concurrently serves as the honorary dean and consultant of several universities in the mainland, and also serves as the chairman of the chamber of commerce and a member of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference of the mainland government.
It can be said that although Bai Fugui is not a top rich man in terms of wealth, he is not a small figure in terms of influence and reputation. Of course, a person like him wouldn't make eye-catching fake news to boost his reputation like an unknown person, because he didn't need to do it at all.
This thing was given to Xiangjiang Telecom by Bai Fugui in his personal name, and the content of it is very simple, in one sentence, this thing is actually an acquisition letter. Bai Fugui said that he personally will make a full acquisition of Heung Kong Telecom.
If it weren't for Zhou Liwen seeing Bai Fugui's signature on it, he would even think it was a prank. You must know that although Bai Fugui can be regarded as a rich man in Xiangjiang, his assets, including the strength of his company, are only not high in the circle of several wealthy people, and the maximum amount of money that can be taken out is about ten or two billion. In terms of strength, Bai Fugui and Li Haifeng are roughly the same, not the top rich, but they can be regarded as rich. Of course, now Li Haifeng has made a lot of money in the steel industry, and has shifted his main business projects from industry to the raw material industry, taking advantage of the current domestic economic development opportunity to start further development. From this point of view, Li Haifeng's strength has surpassed Bai Fugui, but even so, even Li Haifeng does not dare to say that he has fully acquired Xiangjiang Telecom, how can he be Bai Fugui?
Heung Kong Telecom, the current chairman of the board of directors is Richard, but its mobile business, including 3 project businesses, are in the hands of Zhou Liwen, coupled with Zhou Liwen's influence in the smartphone industry and business exhibitions over the years, the current business of Heung Kong Telecom has been further developed after a low ebb. From the perspective of market capitalization, if you want to fully acquire Xiangjiang Telecom, Bai Fugui will have to come up with at least 2.6 billion Xiangjiang coins to achieve the goal. If Richard carries out an anti-takeover strategy, this amount may be more than 14.6 billion.
Isn't it a joke that a rich man with all his combined wealth is less than 100 million Hong Kong coins and proposes to buy Hong Kong Telecom in his own name in this tone? But Zhou Liwen in the office, including Richard, would not think that this would be a simple joke, because they all knew that people like Bai Fugui would not do things casually, and if he was not sure, this acquisition letter would be impossible.
"White gloves" Zhou Liwen pondered for a long time and said such a word, and Richard nodded slightly in agreement. In addition to this reason, they simply can't think of where Bai Fugui got the financial resources to carry out this comprehensive acquisition. Then there is only this possibility in terms of analysis and analysis, Bai Fugui is just a puppet in front of the stage, there must be someone else behind him, his so-called personal comprehensive acquisition is just a disguise, and the talent behind him is the real protagonist.
So, who would be behind this? Zhou Liwen couldn't figure it out for a while, it was difficult to make sense that Chad offended someone and wanted to use this way to snatch the ownership of Xiangjiang Telecom? For this reason, Zhou Liwen carefully asked if there were any grievances between Richard and Bai Fugui, and Richard didn't understand what was going on, in his opinion, this matter was both sudden and inexplicable, he usually didn't have much contact with Bai Fugui, and knowing everyone was just a friendship on the scene, not to mention that the main business of the two sides was fundamentally different, even if it was a little implicated in the telecommunications business, it was also a normal business situation, how could there be grievances?
"I don't believe it, he can win Xiangjiang Telecom with his white wealth?" Richard said with some annoyance, and he even said angrily: "Doesn't he rely on fame for nothing?" By the way, and the identity of the district councilor, it actually provoked us? Acquisition? Hmph, daydreaming that if he stops, forget it, if you really want to play with me, I don't mind having a game with him. ”
"What are you going to do?" Zhou Liwen asked.
Richard gritted his teeth and said: "According to the Xiangjiang acquisition law, this kind of acquisition must be approved by the general meeting of shareholders, if it doesn't work, I will let people carry out a reverse takeover in advance, as long as the shares in our hands reach an absolute majority, it is useless for him to be a monkey and a monkey, a full acquisition?" Dream on."
Zhou Liwen immediately frowned, because he suddenly remembered something. Heungjiang's law has strict provisions on the acquisition of a company, and after the issuance of such an acquisition letter, a general meeting of shareholders must be convened to announce the situation in accordance with the procedure, and the two parties must enter into the formal acquisition procedure after the information of the shareholders' meeting is disclosed. From Richard's cruel words, he clearly didn't want to do this, and planned to cut off Bai Fugui's acquisition idea first by making a time difference, so that he would have no chance to take advantage of it. Theoretically, Richard did this with the least loss and the easiest way, but the problem was that he was breaking the law. In Xiangjiang's proverbial terms, this is called "seed ticket", and once it is revealed, Richard will get into big trouble.
(Merry Christmas to all!) Asking for a ticket...
