174 Stand by and watch the show
When they came to the headquarters of Royal Cruises, their company was not very large, but they only contracted an entire floor of an office building in a prime location as an office building, unlike Sail which has its own building, and from this point of view alone, if Royal Cruises really acquired Sail, it would definitely become big news in the business world. Although I think they are incompetent, I am still quite uneasy in my heart, especially Wei Liankai didn't talk to me with a cold face all the way, I don't know if he just wants to use this to blackmail me, or does he really want to sell Sail?
Under the arrangement of the staff, Wei Liankai and I met the CEO of Royal Cruises at the president's office, and it turned out to be a woman named Huang Yuzhi. She may look about 40 years old, she is very beautiful, she is well maintained, and she feels more shrewd and strong overall. I've never paid attention to Royal Cruises before, so I don't know anything about the company's background, so I don't know what kind of character or background Huang Yuzhi is in front of me. I don't know if this company was founded by herself or the family business she inherited? However, she dared to fight the idea of Sail, which means that she at least runs other industries, otherwise she would not be able to come up with so much money.
Huang Yuzhi beckoned me and Wei Liankai to sit down, and greeted us with a smile hidden in his smile, but he never talked about the acquisition. But I can't have so much time to spend with her, so I said to her directly with a cold face, "Mr. Huang, we don't have to go around the bend, I guess you know what the purpose of my coming here today is." I'll just say it bluntly, I have a few glances at the letter of intent submitted by your company."
"Oh?" She smiled and said, "Then I don't know if Mr. Bai has any opinions?" Let's communicate some objections clearly in person, after all, this is a very important project, and we need continuous communication between the two sides to achieve the goal, what do you say? β
"I don't have any opinions," I sneered, and said lightly, "I admire your company's strategic vision, your imagination and courage, so today I specially came to your company to see who Huang is, by the way, to investigate how big your company's stomach is, can you really swallow Sail?" β
Wei Liankai deliberately sat next to him as a spectator, and did not speak as if he was smiling.
Huang Yuzhi naturally knew what I meant, and she also responded calmly, "There is no need to worry about this, since we have the ability to acquire Sail, we are naturally not afraid of being choked to death." Let's put it this way, I have had in-depth exchanges with Mr. Wei Liankai Wei in the early stage, and also conducted a comprehensive investigation of Sail, and have reached an agreement on equity acquisition with several major shareholders of Sail, and now it is mainly waiting for you, the largest shareholder, to express its position, since you are here, let's talk about it openly today. β
I was a little irritated by her, but I took a deep breath and calmed down, and said patiently, "My attitude, of course, disagrees, and please don't be whimsical." Sail is the largest cruise company in Asia, it is running very well in all aspects, and there are no plans to sell it now and in the future, if you are really interested in Sail, I can consider letting you invest in it"
"Hehe," she took a sip of tea slowly, glanced at Wei Liankai, and saw that he was silent, so she became even more arrogant, and she was not polite to me, she changed her name and teased, "I said Miss Bai, you are still so young, I heard that you used to run a hotel again, and you really have no experience in the cruise industry, you said that you can play with such a big company as a woman, I think you are still wise, take advantage of the good momentum of Sail, and before the stock price has not fallen much, quickly transfer the equity in your hand, How good is it to travel the world with real money to eat, drink and be merry? Otherwise, if you delay again and again, when the company is not doing well and has huge losses, it will be difficult to sell if you want to, right? β
I also hehe, "I didn't expect Mr. Huang to be so 'caring' and think so far for me, thank you." However, to disappoint you, I'd rather destroy Sail myself than sell you my shares, how about it? β
Hearing my such a straightforward provocation, her face turned green with anger, and she lost her smile, "Okay, if you don't want to, I naturally can't force you." Heh, anyway, the most important thing is that Mr. Wei has nodded and agreed, and I will sign a relevant equity transfer agreement with him soon, so please prepare Miss Bai. β
I was stunned, and glanced at Wei Liankai, who was silently watching the show, he had already agreed?
If he really agrees and wants to sign an equity transfer agreement with Royal Cruises, then Sail Cruises is really in danger of changing hands! Because Sail's equity is still somewhat scattered, although I am now the largest shareholder, and my position is also chairman and president, but the shares on hand are only more than 40 percent, if Royal Cruises buys the shares of Wei Liankai and other shareholders together, then their total share will already exceed 50 percent, and they will also surpass me, and then become the actual controller of Sail, just like I used this way to drive Du Zhenbei out of the North Brigade......
In the end, I didn't argue with Huang Yuzhi anymore, but on the surface, I still maintained an attitude of neither humility nor arrogance, and I said a few words to her back and forth, and left.
All the way out, Wei Liankai smoked a cigarette, but still didn't say a word to me, and I ignored him with a straight face. Outside the building, he walked to the front on his own...... I walked behind slowly, staring at his dashing and tall back, full of anger! But on the other side of the anger, I was more helpless and helpless, I originally wanted to compromise and let him help save Wei Lianheng, who would have thought that now the company was dragged into a dire situation by him...... He completely grasped my weakness and threatened me with a heavy force.
He got into the car and waited for me in the car. Because I didn't drive out, I had to walk over with heavy steps and get into the co-pilot's seat.
"Fasten your seatbelts." He reminded without pain.
I didn't move, I was bored for a while, and tried to discuss with him calmly, "Lian Kai, can you not agree to the acquisition?" It's not that you don't know how important Sail Cruises is to me and my Wei Lianheng, if it really falls into the hands of outsiders, it will be a big trouble in the future. β
He said casually, "Please, this company is important to you or not, it's my business, I'm just an investor, the first thing I value is, of course, my actual income, if Royal Cruises can give me the price in my heart, I am naturally willing to sell the shares in my hand, don't play the emotional card in front of me, I won't eat you." With that, he was about to start the car.
I really couldn't stand his pretentious and selfish attitude, and I really didn't want to bow down to him, so I kicked the car door and got out of the car in anger, and then slammed it on him, "You go by yourself!" β
He also glared at me angrily, said anything, and really started the car and entered the road with rolling traffic.
I felt a throbbing pain in my heart......
Pulling myself together, I decided to talk to Huang again to see if I could persuade her to give up on the idea of buying. Although the hope was slim, I gave it a try.
I hurried into the building and ran to the elevator on the left, I just thought about how many floors the Royal Cruise was on, and I walked in a hurry, and I bumped into a man walking towards me!
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry!" I quickly apologized, inadvertently looked up, and when I saw the face of the man in front of me, I was inexplicably attracted, and I couldn't move my steps, so I stared at him like that
He is a middle-aged man, he looks like he is forty or fifty years old, his body is relatively tall, and he is slightly fat, but the facial features on that face are very outstanding, and it can be seen that he should be particularly handsome and handsome when he was young, and now he is old, and there are wrinkles at the corners of his eyes, but the overall is still relatively calm and elegant, which is very different from the kind of middle-aged uncle, which makes people can't take their eyes off it, and can't help but want to take a few more looks.
"Hehe," the old man stared at me fixedly for a few seconds, smiling gently, "it's okay." β
Then, he was gone.
I was stunned for a moment before I reacted and hurried towards the elevator.
But at the end of the run, I realized that I had run in the opposite direction, and the elevator was obviously on the right...... What bad luck! My feet were already in pain when I stepped on high heels, so I had to run to the right right away.
Hurriedly rushed to the elevator entrance, found that the elevator had been closed only a crack left, I hurriedly pressed it, and was worried that I would miss it, the elevator door opened again, and I hurried in.
When I looked up, I found that the old man I met just now was inside, it turned out that he was also going upstairs, and glanced at the floor he was pressing, which was the same floor as the royal cruise ship I was going to.
Maybe it was because I bumped into him just now, and I felt very embarrassed to be alone in this space with him, just staring at the rising numbers, looking forward to hurrying up and hurrying up......
"This young lady is going to a Royal Cruise Line?" The old man suddenly broke the silence with a smile on his lips.
"Uh," I nodded, "yes, you're going too?" β
"Hmm." He asked, "You're new here?" β
"No," I shook my head, and was about to explain to him that the elevator doors were open, so I shut up and followed him out.
Since it was just a stranger, I didn't care what he was doing, and immediately walked to Huang Yuzhi's office, walking relatively fast...... I came to her door, knocked on the door of her office, and was surprised to see me reappear.
"What? Looks like Miss Bai has figured it out? Huang Yuzhi asked teasingly, and asked me to sit again.
"Mr. Huang, I want to talk to you again," I sat down in her sofa area without any restraint and said straight to the point, "Frankly speaking, it is indeed a ridiculous and incredible thing for you to want to buy Sail in my opinion. I might as well tell you that Wei Liankai doesn't know Sail, and the information you get from him may not be accurate, so I'm going to tell you in depth today about the disadvantages of your decision--"
But before I could finish speaking, I noticed that her eyes were looking at the door, and her expression suddenly became excited. I also followed her line of sight and looked over, and I actually saw that the old man who had just met in the elevator came in!
"Husband, why don't you call me when you go back to China?" Topaz asked him.
It turns out that this man and her are husband and wife!
## #219θΏδΈͺε€§εζζ δΊ
Seeing my surprise, the old man first bowed his head slightly to say hello, and then slowly walked up to Huang Yuzhi, his face was very bad, and asked in a deep voice, "What did you just say?" Which company are you buying? β
"Oh," Huang Yuzhi looked at me, and then at the man in front of him, a little flustered, and didn't answer him immediately, but said to me with a smile, "That, Miss Bai is embarrassed, this is my husband, I have some personal matters to talk about with him now, I don't have time to accompany you today, anyway, what should be said is also very clear to Mr. Wei Liankaiwei, you can communicate again, that's it, you go first." She gave the order to evict the guest.
But if the matter is not resolved, how can I go, especially when I see her husband coming back, needless to say, he must also be the president and chairman of Royal Cruises, so I said, "Mr. Huang, since your husband is also here, you might as well let him also express his opinion, is there any room for negotiation about the acquisition of Sail Cruises?" Anyway, everyone is a peer, there is really no need to tear your face and make it too ugly, if it can be resolved peacefully, I still hope that we can solve it calmly. β
As soon as I finished speaking, I saw the old man's brows furrowed even higher, and he asked Huang Yuzhi again seriously, "Do you want to buy Sail Cruises?" Really? Why don't you discuss such an important matter with me? Where are you going to take out this money from? β
"This--" she looked embarrassed, and finally didn't shy away from me, and said to the man, "Doesn't your Yuecheng real estate have so much liquidity, there is no problem with calling over to control Sail, when the time comes, we will acquire Sail, and then we will integrate the resources of Sail, all under the royal banner, Royal Cruises is the largest cruise company in Asia, and the entire market in Japan, South Korea and Southeast Asia will be ours, this is my goal to operate a cruise ship for so many years, and now of course I can't let go of this opportunity." β
I sneered in my heart, it was a fool's dream.
The old man still stared at her with a stiff face, and said in a tone that was not very good, "Are you okay?" Although I have never been involved in the cruise industry, at least I know the market position of Sail, can you take such a big plate? Don't give me any trouble! β
Hearing him scold her like this, I was surprised and surprised, and of course I was vaguely excited, at least her husband was not on her side, and there should be a turning point in this matter.
Huang Yuzhi's face was naturally unbearable, but he didn't want to lose his prestige, so he said to the man, "You don't have to worry about this, and I don't plan to discuss anything with you, if you don't support me, I have my own way." Anyway, I have found a top investment banking company as an agent, and I have been investigating this project for a long time, and I am determined that you will not interfere! β
The man always kept a calm face, glared at her, and said forbearingly, "Okay, I don't care, as long as you don't make trouble with me, I'm not in the mood to interfere, but I said ugly things in the front, if something goes wrong with your cruise ship in the future, don't want to get any funding from me, I don't have so much money for you to burn!"
"You--" Huang Yuzhi was enraged, she gritted her teeth and wanted to quarrel with him, but maybe considering that the ugliness of the family should not be publicized, and she didn't want to attack in front of me, she just said to him, "Zhuang Huaizhou, you will let me out now!" I'll talk about what I'll do when I get back to Guangzhou. β
The old man also felt speechless, so he turned around and left.
I froze there, thinking about how to talk to her again.
But she was also in a bad mood now, with a broken face, and said to me in a rough voice, "Don't talk nonsense with me anymore, the things I decided will not change, you have the right to retain your equity in Sail, but I have reached a transfer agreement with the other shareholders of Sail, and I will officially enter the board of directors of Sail in a month at the latest, you can do it yourself." Okay, I'm too busy to entertain you, so let's go. β
She must have been angry with her husband just now, and in such a situation, I can't talk to her about anything...... With that in mind, I had no choice but to leave.
Again with nothing, my heart and my steps were extremely heavy. Unhappy into the elevator, pressed the basement garage on the first floor, I have been immersed in this acquisition, out of the elevator, while walking and touching their bags, did not touch the car keys, I suddenly remembered that I came by Wei Liankai's car today, now that he is gone, I can only take a taxi back, hey.
But when I was about to go back to the elevator to the upper floor, I found that the man just now, Huang Yuzhi's husband, was not far away and was about to enter his own car...... I don't know where the courage came from, I quickly walked to his car without thinking about it, patted his window, he turned his head and saw that it was me, so he rolled open the glass window, and his eyebrows returned to that gentleness, "Why, I finished talking to her so soon?" Is there something wrong with me? β
Seeing his face, I was a little more nervous for no reason...... I brushed the hair around my ears and said with a smile, "Mr. Zhuang, right?" I don't know if you are free now, I would like to talk to you a few more words about the acquisition of Sail Cruises proposed by Mr. Huang, can you --? β
He paused, raised his wrist and looked at the time, "It's almost dinner time, or I'll treat you to a meal and talk while eating." β
"Oh, too!" I readily agreed, not expecting him to be so cheerful.
So, I got into his car and went to a famous western restaurant nearby. The restaurant is relatively high-end, and there are many people in it, and the waiter enthusiastically arranged a window seat for us, served us tea, and brought the menu.
He asked me to order, and then he answered the phone in a hurry, and after a few minutes, I ordered a signature dish and asked him to order it, and said that I would invite it, and he smiled and looked at the menu and said, "I've never asked a young girl like you to invite me to dinner, you can try it." β
I secretly observed him, and found that his temperament is really special, after years of precipitation, deep and elegant, even if he is old, but the facial features are still three-dimensional and profound, compared to young people, there are just some more wrinkles that are not easy to be noticed, the overall maintenance is very good, it should not exceed fifty, right?
"By the way, little girl, what do you call you?" He ordered the food and asked me with a smile.
I couldn't help laughing, "Do you think I look like a little girl, I'm an aunt in my thirties." My name is Bai Shenshen, you can call me by my name directly. β
"Hehe, aren't you just a little girl in front of an 'old man' like me."
"No, Mr. Zhuang is modest, I see that you are only in your forties, where is the 'elderly'?"
He shook his head with a smile and drank a little water, "You are really good at talking, I, I will run for six in a few years, I am a real old man, and the years are not forgiving!" β
"Ahh I exclaimed, "No, how do you maintain it, I can't see it at all!" β
He said meaningfully, "Maybe it's because I don't have much stuff in my head, so I don't have so many worries."
I felt that what he said was too illusory, and I didn't understand it very well, but I still changed the topic with a smile.
Compared with the tension with Huang Yuzhi, I chatted with this Zhuang Mr. Zhuang more smoothly, we ate slowly, chatted slowly, we showed each other's background, I didn't hide anything, I told him and Pan about my current situation, the problems I encountered, and even the problem of Wei Lianheng being in prison, although things are not so glorious, but this is already on the news, and there is nothing to hide. And he didn't hesitate to share his story with me.
He said that he and Huang Yuzhi have been married for almost 10 years, and the couple manages a company, his is a real estate company, because it is registered in Hong Kong, and the main market is also in Hong Kong; And Huang Yuzhi is a Hong Kong native, and her Royal Cruise is also a Hong Kong-registered company, but she has set up a branch in Shenzhen, so he and Huang Yuzhi live in Hong Kong all the year round, but they have real estate in Guangzhou and Shenzhen, and they will live in these two places when they return to the mainland.
Maybe the conversation was more in-depth, I took the liberty of asking him ridiculously, "Zhuang always got married when he was in his forties, could it be that you have been single for more than 40 years, and suddenly found true love, and then entered the palace of marriage again?" β
He was stunned, the smile on his face gradually faded, as if he hadn't heard it, just lowered his eyelids, and didn't answer me for a long time......
I thought he was angry, so I quickly apologized, "I'm sorry, I don't know how to speak because I have a short experience, and it's too presumptuous to ask, please don't mind Mr. Zhuang." As I spoke, I added some water to his cup.
He shook his head again, "It's fine. Then he didn't say anything and continued to eat his stuff.
The atmosphere looks so eerie......
Later, I shifted the topic to the acquisition, and he gradually became active again, and talked to me a lot about this, generally saying that Huang Yuzhi was messing around, so I don't have to worry, because the acquisition of Sail requires a lot of money, and she should not have such great strength, and by the way, she complained to me that she has been operating a Royal Cruise for more than ten years, and now she is still going to die, losing money every year, and now she still wants to engage in capital operation to annex Sail, which is really unreasonable...... He promised to go back and persuade her.
Hearing his words, I immediately relaxed a lot, and I felt that I was lucky to meet this man. He is Huang Yuzhi's pillow man, if he is really willing to intervene to stop it, then Sail can avoid the fate of being acquired, and I don't have to be tired anymore.
After a happy dinner, we should also part, he still has to go back to Guangzhou, I didn't talk to him much, but asked him for a business card, so that I can contact him at any time in the future. At the same time, I also gave him my business card.
Saying goodbye to him, and waiting for his car to disappear into the night, I took out my business card and saw that his name was: Zhuang Huaizhou.
I sat in the taxi home, and couldn't help but take out my mobile phone and search for the name Zhuang Huaizhou on the Internet, but I couldn't find any information about him, but his Yuecheng real estate is very famous...... It is rare for a big boss to be able to keep a low profile to this point.
The next day, I received another call from Wei Lianyun, who happily told me that she had helped me find a well-known barrister who could represent Wei Lianheng in the case, and asked me to meet with the lawyer. Lian Yun is an extremely reliable person, listening to her tone, this lawyer should not be simple, and the odds of winning are relatively large, so I happily agreed, set the time and place, and drove there.
