v3 Chapter 992： Key breakthrough

Office of the Chairman of the HSBC Bank Building, Central, Hong Kong Island.

Shen Bi instructed the secretary who called in: "Rand, the chairman of Swire Group Norman Shiyahuai will be here soon. You can change a batch of fresh fruits, coffee and tea to get the best."

"Yes!"

Secretary Landt responded immediately, then picked up the fruit tray and walked out quickly.

Shen Bi sat on the chair, and a guess came to mind.

"Is it because of the equity of Cathay Pacific Airways and Xiangjiang Aircraft Engineering Company?"

Apart from that, he could not think of anything Norman Shiyahuai had coming to him in the near future.

If this is the case, then he has to prepare immediately.

...

About eight minutes later.

Norman Shi Yahuai led the reception staff to Shen Bi's office, and Shen Bi got up and went out to greet him.

"Norman, we meet again, please come in!"

"Michael, good morning!"

After a brief exchange of handshake, Norman Shi Yahuai was greeted by Shen Bi into the office, and the two sat on a soft and comfortable leather sofa together.

After Shen Bi's secretary, Landt, asked Norman Shi Yahuai, they served different flavors of coffee for the two of them, and then left the office and closed the office door by the way.

For a time, there were only Shen Bi and Norman Shi Yahuai in the office.

Shen Bi smiled and asked, "Norman, do you have anything to do? If I can do it, I will do my best."

Norman Shiya smiled and thanked: "Thank you!"

Then he said: "Michael, I came to visit you suddenly today. There is indeed something urgent that needs your help."

"I hope to buy some of the shares of Cathay Pacific and Heung Kong Aircraft Engineering Company held by HSBC!"

"I hope the transaction will be completed today if it is convenient."

Facing Norman Shi Yahuai's scorching gaze, Shen Bi secretly said in his heart that it was so, with a hesitant look on his face: "This..."

Norman Shi Yahuai burst into his heart, clenched his fists subconsciously, his face suddenly changed, and asked anxiously: "Michael, are these shares out of HSBC?"

Shen Bi was taken aback, and said with a faint smile: "Norman, don't be nervous, listen to me first."

Norman Shi Yahuai forced his mood to calm down, looking straight at Shen Bi, waiting for his answer, but his still clenched fist indicated that his heart was very tense.

Shen Bi also knew Norman Shi Yahuai's mood at this time, so he didn't sell it. According to Norman Shi Yahuai's heart draft prepared before he came, he said: "Norman, it is impossible to complete the transaction today."

"Because the shares of Cathay Pacific Airways and Heung Kong Aircraft Engineering Co., Ltd. originally held by HSBC were transferred to HSBC Holdings, the British parent company, just like the shares of other companies during the last bank's asset accounting."

"So if you want, I have to apply to the parent company first, and then the parent company will approve and find it and then transfer it to our Hong Kong HSBC Bank, and then I can talk to you about the transaction."

Hearing Shen Bi's explanation, Norman Shi Yahuai breathed a sigh of relief, and the clenched fist gradually loosened, which was not something he didn't want to see.

He also didn't care about why the equity was transferred to HSBC's parent company. After all, from Shen Bi's words, he knew that it was not only the equity of Cathay Pacific and Xiangjiang Aircraft Engineering, but also the equity of other companies.

Given the relationship between Shen Bi and him, he did not suspect that Shen Bi would lie to him here.

He then asked what he cared more about.

"Michael, how long does this process take? Can you give me an approximate time?"

Shen Bi frowned for a moment and shook his head under Norman Shi Yahuai's concerned eyes, and said apologetically: "Norman, I really can't guarantee this time."

"It's very simple for me to write an application here, and it doesn't take long to report it, but the key lies in the decision of the parent company. I can only try to urge it, but there is no guarantee how long it will take."

Seeing Norman Shi Yahuai's face a little ugly, Shen Bi immediately promised: "But don't worry, if I get back the equity from the parent company, I will notify you as soon as possible, and I won't make you embarrassed in terms of price. "

Shen Bi said that for this reason, Norman Shiyahuai knew that there was no way to buy shares from HSBC today.

But for the first purpose, he still had to confirm it.

So he smiled and said, "Michael, please, please!"

"By the way, the shares of Cathay Pacific Airways and Xiangjiang Aircraft Engineering Co., Ltd. should be determined to remain in HSBC Holdings' hands?"

Shen Bi did not answer positively, but gave a specious answer: "If it is sold, I can know, but now I have not been notified that the equity has been sold, so the equity should still be in the parent company."

Shen Bi was embarrassed in his heart, so he didn't dare to say something dead, leaving himself a way out.

Of course, what he said was correct. He did not receive a notice, and he did not know whether it was sold. HSBC Holdings sold the equity, but it also helped Bright Fund keep secret.

Norman Shi Yahuai looked at Shen Bi for a few seconds, then nodded gently, he chose to believe what Shen Bi said.

He said sincerely and solemnly: "Well, Michael, this matter is very important to me, please help me as soon as possible."

Shen Bi smiled and nodded, then looked at his watch, and said to Norman Shi Yahuai: "No problem, just count the time. It's not dawn in London now. When it's official over there, I will ask immediately."

"Thank you!" Norman Shi Yahuai thanked again.

Shen Bi pondered for a moment and asked: "Norman, can I know how you suddenly wanted to buy back some of the shares of Cathay Pacific and Xiangjiang Aircraft Engineering Company?"

After all, it is to buy back the equity and then use it to replace the equity of Dongfeng Airlines. It is not good for HSBC, and it will be embarrassing to say it, and he does not want to expose the matter before he succeeds.

So Norman Shiyahuai chose to conceal the truth temporarily.

He smiled and said: "Michael, it is mainly to strengthen the control of Cathay Pacific Airways' acquisition of Heung Kong Aircraft Engineering Company, and to promote the development of Swire Airlines, it is indeed necessary to increase the shareholding ratio."

Shen Bi knew that Norman Shi Yahuai had not told the truth.

He took a deep look at Norman Shi Yahuai, and sighed in his heart.

He was also a little disappointed in Norman Shi Yahuai, and at the same time he was gradually relieved.

He was not the only one who lied, Norman Shiyahuai also lied to him, so there is no need for him to have any psychological burden.

If Norman Shiyahuai tells the truth, he can obtain more information and confirm that Norman Shiyahuai knows who is acquiring Cathay Pacific Airways, then he can also reveal the truth to Norman Shiyahuai, or not Cause trouble to the parent company.

But Norman Shiyahuai did not say that he could not be sure, in order not to affect the parent company, and for his own future, he could only choose to keep the secret in his heart.

However, out of years of friendship, he still wanted to remind Norman Shi Yahuai implicitly, whether it is effective depends on Norman Shi Yahuai himself.

He nodded with approval and said, "Norman, your idea is right. No matter how good the company is, it is useless if you can't control it yourself. I support you to strengthen your control over the company. This is very important."

Norman Shiyahuai smiled and nodded and replied: "Yes."

Then there is no more text.

Shen Bi frowned slightly, unable to determine whether Norman Shiyahuai heard the deep meaning of his words.

At this moment, Norman Shi Yahuai took a sip of coffee, put the quilt down, and said to Shen Bi: "Michael, I have something to do. I will leave first. I won’t disturb you. I have time to go golfing together on weekends. ."

"I beg you on this matter. Let me know if there is news."

"Okay!" Shen Bi answered with a smile and nodding.

"Then I'm leaving now!"

"I will give it to you."

After personally sending Norman Shiyahuai out of the headquarters gate, he watched his car start to leave, Shen Bi sighed and thought to himself: "Norman, I hope you can be as cautious as you said. Holding shares, as long as you don’t make mistakes yourself, no one can steal your company. The key lies in yourself..."

Thinking of this, Shen Bi was a little bit disappointed, shook his head slightly and stopped thinking about it, turned and walked towards the elevator entrance.

...

Wade Shi Yahuai is going to the Song family to find someone, so he is not as fast as Norman Shi Yahuai.

So when I got off work in the morning, Wade Shiyahuai still didn't get it done.

But when it was around one noon, Wade Shi Yahuai hurried back to the family and met his uncle Norman Shi Yahuai who was not thinking about falling asleep.

Seeing his nephew coming in, Norman Shiyahuai asked immediately: "Wade, what happened?"

Wade Shiyahuai just sat down and took a few breaths to make his breathing easier to speak.

"Uncle, I found Song Bo, the Patriarch of the Song family, and the equity is still in the hands of the Song family. I read the equity certificate."

Hearing this, Norman Shi Yahuai's expression relaxed.

Then he heard the words behind Wade Shi Yahuai.

"However, Song Bo did not agree to my proposal to buy equity. He shrugged off his optimism about Cathay Pacific. No matter what I say, he is not willing to transfer."

"And he also said that from beginning to end, he has always supported our management so let us rest assured that he will always be on our side."

"Knowing that I couldn't talk about it, I didn't continue to persuade, and I waited until I had made sufficient preparations before I went to talk to him."

Norman Shiyahuai thought for a while and said, "Well, since Song Bo said so, he shouldn't lie to us."

Wade Shi Yahuai echoed: "Yes, I also consider that the Song family has cooperated with our family for decades. The Song family also has a lot of interests within the consortium. For his entire family, he has no reason to betray us. ."

Norman Shi Yahuai nodded slightly.

Wade Shiyahuai asked, "Uncle, what about HSBC?"

Norman Shi Yahuai's face sank and he told the situation again.

In the face of what his uncle said, Wade Shiyahuai was not good at saying anything, and continuing to ask would only embarrass his uncle, so he wisely did not ask any more and talked about the most critical topic.

"Uncle, it's one o'clock now, less than two hours before three o'clock in the afternoon, should we trade with Bao Yugang?"

After asking, Wade Shi Yahuai quietly looked at his uncle Norman Shi Yahuai, waiting for his decision.

Norman Shiyahuai thought for a long time, his eyes became firm, and solemnly said: "Make a deal, lest there will be problems when time is delayed."

"I will ask the British side to contact HSBC Holdings directly, and both sides will proceed at the same time. As long as they get a part of the shares held by HSBC, it does not matter if Song Jiazhuan will not transfer it."

"In a few days, the impact should not be significant."

Wade Shiyahuai nodded hurriedly and replied: "Okay, then I will now let people prepare something for the afternoon."

"Well, thank you for your hard work!"

"No hard work, for the glory of the family!"
