Chapter 110: The Problem of Shemanden
The next day, Wang Bai went to the headquarters of Ximanden Group again, and it was He Zhengxiong who asked him to meet here, saying that he had something to discuss.
didn't mention it at home, it seems that he didn't want his family, especially Mrs. He, to worry, so Wang Bai was mentally prepared and guessed that He Zhengxiong might have encountered some trouble.
"Wang Bai, I want to ask you for a favor." After meeting, without greetings, He Zhengxiong said straight to the point.
"What's the matter?"
"Recently, there has been a bit of an anomaly ......in my company," He Zhengxiong took a few minutes to explain to Wang Bai the ins and outs of the matter.
As an international group with a focus on hotels, the company has a large market share in the high-end hotels in the Asia-Pacific region, but it also has strong competitors.
Recently, Ximanden Group has failed in the competition with its rivals, and several strategically important development plans have been stranded because they failed to win the bid, and those valuable plots of land have all fallen into the hands of their opponents without exception.
Judging from the public bidding plan, the opponent's several bids are only slightly superior to his own, He Zhengxiong feels that this will not be a coincidence, he expects that there is a problem within the company, and it is likely that someone is selling his own information.
After the acquisition turmoil subsided, the Hibiscus consortium gradually reduced its holdings of shares, holding less than 25 percent, which also made the proportion of outstanding shares in the market reach the peak since the company's listing.
In the past, most of the shares of Ximanden Group were concentrated in the hands of a few large investors, and only a few were circulating in the market, so the ability to resist falling was very strong, and with the increase in the number of shares in circulation in the market, the influx of small and medium-sized investors led to the company's stock price being affected by more factors.
In the process of reducing the shares of the Furong consortium, the shares of Ximandeng Company, which had skyrocketed in the early stage, stabilized after a slight retreat, and the company's market value remained at about 70 billion Hong Kong dollars for several months, with little amplitude.
And recently due to unfavorable factors on the news side. The stock price began to suffer one after another, and the company's stock fell by 13 percent in a month, and its market value has shrunk to nearly 60 billion, close to the level before the acquisition turmoil.
He Zhengxiong is not distressed by the shrinking assets, because the value itself is a financial bubble formed by the overvaluation of the Ximanden Group, not the real value of the company.
He is worried that if something like this continues to happen, causing panic in the market, and the phenomenon of large-scale selling will cause the company's stock price to fall abnormally, he will take a very big risk at that time.
Theoretically, Wang Bai is also the largest shareholder of Ximanden Group. However, that part of the shares cannot be traded, and the most serious loss of market value is actually him, roughly calculated, he has lost 8 billion Hong Kong dollars inexplicably, but because he didn't pay attention to the shares of Ximanton Group, so he just knew.
The reason why He Zhengxiong asked him for help was also because this matter was closely related to him, and he was sure that he would not sit idly by.
"Who do you think is more suspicious?" Wang Bai actually wanted to know who those people could contact him, and he was ready to intervene in this matter.
He Zhengxiong had already prepared. He took out a bag of Wen Ji from the drawer, handed it to him, and said, "There are a few people's information here, if there is really a problem inside, it is likely to be in it." ”
Wang Bai took the file. nodded: "I will find a way to find out about this matter, you pay attention to the movements of the Furong Consortium, and if it falls like this, they may strike again." ”
He Zhengxiong also considered this factor. This series of events, although it is clear that the interests of the Furong Consortium are also damaged, if you consider it from a long-term perspective. If they want to make another acquisition, it is a feasible means to suppress the stock price and reduce costs.
If the stock continues to fall, He Zhengxiong will have to sell some of the shares he holds to cash out in order to avoid risks, but it may not be so easy to get back the chips he throws out. So He Zhengxiong wants to find out about this matter, and he doesn't want to watch the situation continue to deteriorate and the stock price fall to a point that he can't bear.
When Wang Bai went out to meet with He Zhengxiong, he left Huo Xueyan alone in the hotel, and the girl was bored, so she went to the VIP leisure area for recreation. She stayed at the Ximanton Hotel with Wang Bai, and naturally enjoyed VIP treatment and could come and go at will.
The facilities in the VIP area are quite complete, with a professional theater, which is showing movies that Huo Xueyan has never seen. She felt fresh as she passed by, so she went in and found a seat to pass the time.
The seats in the theater here are all leather sofas, with both single and double seats, interspersed and standing, and when Huo Xueyan found a vacant place to sit down, there was already a pair of young men and women sitting on the double seats next to her.
The man's hand was stretched out under the woman's short skirt and was picking hard, the woman's body was leaning on him softly, with an intimate attitude, the venue was dim, no one noticed the man's actions, and Huo Xueyan didn't pay attention.
The man's attention is not actually on the movie, but just thinking about whether to have a shot with his female companion here, it will definitely be very exciting.
It's a pity that before he could take action, Huo Xueyan sat next to them, disturbing his interest.
The man turned his head to look at Huo Xueyan quite unhappily, and under the light and shadow, a beautiful girl's face was as beautiful as a flower, which made him stunned for a moment, and when the man's gaze swept to the heroic curve on her chest, he was even more lustful and difficult to control.
The man excused himself from his seat and beckoned a waiter, who had known him for many days, and looked down to inquire about what he needed.
"That woman, check her room number, who came with her." The man pointed to Huo Xueyan, who was sitting there watching a movie alone, and handed over a few large bills between his two fingers.
The waiter had to work hard when he got the tip, and immediately nodded: "Yes, Mr. Zhao, I'll do it." ”
The man who regarded Huo Xueyan as a prey was none other than Zhao Nanbei, the third young master of the Shenfeng Group who had molested Shen Yimin in the Guanglin Finance Bureau.
After this person provoked Wang Bai, he ran away under Geng Pinchao's arrangement, and the family gave up a lot of interests to make the matter clear, so Old Man Zhao was very dissatisfied with him.
Later, Zhao Jin, the second young master of the Zhao family, got married in Phuket, and Zhao Nanbei took this opportunity to admit his mistake to his father in person, so that the relationship was eased, and he got an errand to manage the Hong Kong branch.
It is said to be a branch, but in fact, it is only an office set up by Shenfeng Group in Hong Kong, which does not operate business itself, but is only set up by communicating with partners in Hong Kong.
So Zhao Nanbei lived a very idle time in Hong Kong during this time, and he had nothing to do all day long just to eat, drink and have fun, and his nature was difficult to change, he chartered a VIP suite at the Ximanton Hotel, went around nightclubs, and hooked up with those easy-to-use money worshippers.
Because of his generous spending and spending money, the waiters at the hotel have long noticed this local tyrant, and they are all active and hard working when they have the opportunity to serve him.
After the waiter received the errand, he quietly went to the service desk, took a few satisfaction questionnaires, and went into the film and television studio to find a few random guests to ask for help to fill them out, of course, Huo Xueyan was indispensable.
At the end of the movie, Huo Xueyan took the completed form to the service desk to receive a souvenir, and the waiter had already got her room number and name, and then checked through the guò system, and learned that she was staying with a VIP, and then rushed to Zhao Nanbei's room to reply.
"That young lady's name is Huo Xueyan, she lives in room 1206, and she is staying with a male VIP."
Zhao Nanbei's face suddenly showed a look of regret, although he expected it, but such a good product was taken first, and he felt a little pity in his heart. The girl's appearance is indeed extraordinary, but there is still a gap between her temperament and makeup and that of a celebrity, just now he guessed that she could not be a hotel guest, most of them are just companions.
Although she came with others, Zhao Nanbei was still interested in her, accompanying rich people to live in this kind of hotel, but spending time alone in the entertainment area, it can be seen that her man does not care much about her.
Zhao Nanbei can understand this mood, no matter how beautiful the goods are, once they get started, they will lose their freshness, and they will even get tired over time, there are so many women in this world, as long as you have money, you can't find it? Why hang yourself from a tree. The woman who accompanied him Zhao Nanbei had not been able to maintain a relationship for more than two months, and he was used to sending away a sum of money when he was tired of playing.
So he felt he had a chance.
He didn't ask what the name of the VIP who brought Huo Xueyan to the hotel was, so he gave some tips to let the waiter leave, and then ordered a large bouquet of flowers to be sent to room 1206. (To be continued......)
