The next day, early morning!
When Li Yi woke up from a hangover, it was already past nine in the morning.
The company held a celebration banquet last night. As the boss of the company, Li Yi naturally had to attend.
Although Li Yi also knew what level he was at, he tried to drink as little as possible during the entire celebration banquet. Even if he did drink, he would only drink red wine instead, and he would not touch white wine.
But he couldn't bear the over enthusiasm of the company's employees, and everyone came to him with a cup in hand to toast him. As expected, he broke into a gorgeous scene again.
Feeling the swelling pain in his head and the disgusting smell of alcohol all over his body, Li Yi couldn't help but feel itchy in his throat.
Li Yi, knowing what was going on, immediately got up from the bed and rushed directly into the bathroom.
After taking a shower and changing into clean clothes, Li Yi came downstairs!
As soon as he came downstairs, Li Yi saw Li Yunbao, Zhang Ziqiang, Zhou Wen and others in the living room. Several people were huddled together, muttering quietly, not knowing what they were talking about.
However, it can be seen from the undisguised smiles on the faces of several people that it must be something happy!
Li Yi coughed lightly, and after attracting everyone's attention, he randomly said to Li Yunbao: "Why did you come here so early? Is there something wrong?"
"Yes, I received news from Brother Xinghua from New York last night that the Federal Reserve has raised interest rates again, and the magnitude is greater than before!"
Upon hearing this, Zhou Yang's eyes suddenly lit up and he hurriedly asked: "Has there been any change in the international gold price?"
"Of course the tragedy is spreading all over the place. According to Brother Xinghua, the price of gold in the New York gold futures market had dropped below $500 per ounce when the market closed yesterday!" Li Yunbao said with some excitement.
Although he didn't know much about investing, he knew they had won this time!
According to what Zhou Xinghua said in the telegram sent back yesterday, so far, they have made nearly 1.7 billion...US dollars in the gold futures market!
This is 1.7 billion U.S. dollars. According to the current exchange rate, it is equivalent to 13 billion Hong Kong dollars!
Not only was Li Yunbao surprised by this result, but even his father, who was accustomed to big storms, fell silent after reading the telegram.
However, Li Yi's reaction made Li Yunbao a little unpredictable. He just nodded lightly and said nothing more. Instead, he asked Zhang Ziqiang about breakfast!
"Brother Yi, we have made tens of billions of Hong Kong dollars, aren't you excited?" Li Yunbao asked curiously.
"Excited, so I decided to eat an extra fried egg this morning!"
Li Yunbao:......%￥
After a while, he came back to his senses and asked again: "Brother Yi, when are we going to New York again? I can't wait to see the delivery and settlement scene!"
"We will leave after the New Territory Warehouse is taken over..."
Just as he was talking, the phone in the living room suddenly rang.
Zhang Ziqiang immediately stepped forward and picked up the phone.
After just saying a few words, he handed the phone to Li Yi and whispered at the same time: "It's Director Lan's call!"
Li Yi grabbed the microphone and said immediately: "Xinming, I am Li Yi!"
Lan Xinming's voice immediately came from the microphone: "Boss, the representative from Yihe is already on the way. When will you come over?"
"I'll leave now. If Powell and the others arrive, you should come out to receive them first. I will be there soon!" Li Yi said.
"good..."
After hanging up the phone, Li Yi immediately said to Zhang Ziqiang: "Prepare the car, let's go to the company now!"
"yes..."
Soon, the car drove out of the villa area and headed straight for Xingchen Company.
........
Star Company!
Powell did not see Li Yi when he arrived, but he was not angry. Instead, he asked Lan Xinming to see what was going on inside their company.
Lan Xinming did not refuse and agreed directly.
After all, their company is so big, with a total of three rooms, totaling just over 2,000 square feet. There really isn’t much to look at.
The fact was just as Lan Xinming expected, in less than five minutes, he accompanied Powell to look around the entire company.
To be honest, such a small, crowded, and cramped place is really not worth seeing.
However, after seeing the office environment of Xingchen Company, Powell fell into deep thought.
It was really hard for him to imagine that an investment company that was able to stir up the entire Hong Kong stock market with the power of a single company and hold tens of billions of funds would have such a crude and even harsh office environment.
It was also hard for him to imagine that the entire British-owned group, including Jardine Matheson and HSBC, had been defeated by such a small company over and over again, with heavy losses.
Just as he was deep in thought, a neat "tapping" sound suddenly sounded in his ears, which was very rhythmic.
Hearing the sound, Powell and others immediately looked up at the door of the company and saw Li Yi walking in surrounded by several bodyguards in black.
Upon seeing this, Powell immediately strode forward to greet him!
After a brief exchange of greetings, the group arrived at the conference room.
After the door closed, the two parties sat down across the conference table.
Li Yi was the first to speak: "Mr. Powell, since both of us are sincere in cooperating, can we now tell you honestly how many shares your Jardine Department holds in total?"
Powell was also very straightforward and said directly: "We own a total of 21.8 million New Territory Warehouse shares, of which 12.6 million shares are tradable shares, and the rest are all non-tradable shares!"
"If you have no objection to the price of HK$110 per share, then we can draw up an equity transfer contract for consensus in turn?" Li Yi said.
"I'm very satisfied with the price and have no objections, just..."
"Just what?"
"It's just that I'm a little worried about whether your company has that much money to acquire these shares from us!"
Then Powell continued: "As far as I know, the total of your company's own funds plus the funds it has raised will never exceed HK$5 billion. In the early battle, your company has purchased more than 55 million shares. The average purchase price of New Territories Warehouse stocks is at least HK$90 per share. As expected, you may not have much funds in your hands!"
Li Yi smiled and said: "Yes, we do not have much money in our hands now, but don't forget that we have 53% of the shares in New Territories Warehouse, which can be mortgaged at any time!"
At this time, Powell suddenly said: "Mr. Li Yi, how about we make another deal?"
"What deal?"
"We can transfer the 21.8 million shares to you first, and you can pay us the money after three months. I think your investment in New York has also ended during this period..."
Before Powell could finish speaking, Li Yi asked directly: "What do we need to pay?"
"I just want a promise!" Powell said shockingly.
"What promise?"
"As long as you and Xingchen Company no longer target and attack the Jardines, that's it!" Powell said.
Li Yi did not answer immediately, but looked at him with interest.
From Powell's words, he could tell that he was serious, which meant that he really gave in.
"Mr. Powell, can I understand that you from the Jardine Department are afraid? Although it is rude to say this, it is my truest thought!"
It wasn't that Li Yi deliberately wanted to humiliate Powell, but that he really didn't believe that the dignified head of the Jardine Department would take the initiative to give in to him. This was not like their style of doing things.
Don't look at it. The Yihe department has indeed been on a decline in recent years, and it feels like the sun is setting.
But a skinny camel is bigger than a horse. As a super giant in Hong Kong's finance, real estate, telecommunications and terminal shipping industries, Jardine Matheson has just encountered problems in its development, not that it is almost doomed.
All in all, even if he lost the controlling stake in the New Territory Warehouse, Powell really did not need to admit defeat to himself!
Therefore, Li Yi must figure out what he really thinks in his heart!
In fact, it is not just Li Yi who thinks so, but also everyone else present. Everyone wants to know what Powell thinks.
For a moment, everyone's eyes were focused on him!
