Chapter 547 - 236: Like Rats Scurrying Across the Street (Part 3)
This old guy reacts fast, his words immediately won the favor of these passersby.
"Well said! This foreign garbage must be firmly resisted by Bei Xu!"
"Anyone who collaborates with Huasheng is an enemy of the 1.4 billion people of Dragon Country!"
"Eastern Airlines is our Dragon Country’s largest airline, don’t let us down!"
...
Hultas James was stunned, how come he can’t avoid Yang Chen?
Renting an office, the building belongs to Yang Chen.
Dining, Tang Pavilion is Yang Chen’s.
Investing in Eastern Airlines, and Yang Chen turns out to be the second shareholder.
"Yang Chen, are you deliberately opposing me? I’m warning you, don’t overdo it. I’m just not steady yet, once I stand firm, the way you treat me, I will return ten times, a hundred times!" Hultas James said furiously.
Yang Chen unceremoniously cursed: "Are you out of your damn mind? You insulted Dragon Country people and provoked public anger, how can you blame me for targeting you? If we accept foreign garbage like you to invest in Eastern Airlines, how would we face 1.4 billion Dragon Country people? Chairman Li, am I right?"
Li Junhao: "Right! Not only do we disagree, but even if we agreed, the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission wouldn’t approve it. Leave Eastern Airlines territory quickly, or I’ll call security to expel you!"
Hultas James really felt like crying, he gets expelled wherever he goes.
He didn’t want to be thrown out embarrassingly, so he hurriedly left on his own.
Passersby pointed at him and scolded harshly, his subordinates quickly drove over to take him away.
Li Junhao invited Yang Chen to the office for tea, waiting for Lin Yiren to finish a meeting with the flight attendants before leaving.
On the other side, Hultas James was cursing Yang Chen in the car, cursing Dragon Country people, using all the dirty words he could think of.
Others dared not speak, they just waited for him to tire himself out.
The sycophant Li Zhen cautiously asked: "Mr. James, calm down. Our urgent task now is to quickly find other investment projects. Once the company officially operates, you need to present work reports. Without new investment projects to back us up, headquarters will surely criticize us for spending twice the rent on the office. With the branch just starting operations, getting criticized will greatly impact your future."
Hultas James immediately gave Li Zhen a couple of slaps on the head, and scolded: "Do I damn well not know? Huh? Do I not know these things? Do I need your reminder? Quickly find other projects, they have to be quick-yield projects, those that take a long time to see results are not wanted."
Li Zhen nodded and quickly continued to search for fast-yielding projects.
After a while, Li Zhen turned to Hultas James in the back: "How about Peninsula Hotel? I have a classmate working at Sky Curtain Investment, he mentioned to me that Sky Curtain Investment participated in the Peninsula Hotel’s private placement. How about I ask him to inquire if the Peninsula Hotel still needs private placement agencies? Does that work?"
Hultas James nodded quickly, saying: "Yes! Call him immediately and ask."
Li Zhen quickly called his classmate Zhang Yuan.
After some inquiry, Zhang Yuan replied that Peninsula Hotel is still looking for a suitable private placement candidate, and less than 3% of the shares are left.
Li Zhen hurriedly asked Zhang Yuan to help connect and arrange a meeting with the Peninsula Hotel’s representative for a discussion.
Zhang Yuan wasn’t qualified enough to arrange a meeting with the Peninsula Hotel’s representative, so he gave Li Zhen the phone number of the Chairman of Asset Management, Huang Wenkang.
Li Zhen noted the number and quickly dialed through.
Upon learning that Huasheng Investment is interested in investing in Peninsula Hotel, Huang Wenkang expressed great interest immediately.
After all, having an international investment bank as a shareholder is indeed beneficial for the company’s development, even if this advantage might not be directly usable, having it unused is still better than not having it.
The two parties agreed to meet at Peninsula Hotel for a discussion.
Hultas James now is eager to finalize an investment project, to have a report for headquarters.
To please Huang Wenkang, he quickly handled the checkout procedures at the hotel and moved to Peninsula Hotel for accommodation.
At noon, Hultas James met with Huang Wenkang in a private room at Peninsula Hotel’s western restaurant.
Since Peninsula Hotel indeed wants a Wall Street investment bank shareholder, and Huasheng is eager to sign a project quickly, it was a case where both parties were willing, so the negotiation went very smoothly.
In less than half an hour, Huang Wenkang reached a verbal agreement with Hultas James.
Later, Huang Wenkang would have his secretary notify shareholders to hold a meeting tomorrow, to discuss whether to let Huasheng acquire the remaining 3% private placement shares.
At three o’clock in the afternoon, Yang Chen was sleeping at Lin Yiren’s home, when Huang Wenkang’s secretary called.
Secretary: "Hello Mr. Yang, I’m sorry to disturb you. Chairman Huang asked me to inform you that there will be a shareholders meeting at the headquarters at 3 PM tomorrow to discuss Huasheng Investment joining Peninsula Hotel. Can you arrange to be present?"
Yang Chen: "There’s no problem with the time, but I can’t agree with this matter. Don’t you play Douyin or Weibo or something? Don’t you know Huasheng Investment is now like a rat crossing the street?"
Secretary: "Oh? Is that so? I came across it, but I didn’t know the Chairman was talking about them. I’ll have to inform Chairman Huang quickly."
Yang Chen: "Yes. You tell Chairman Huang to stay away from such people, never let them enter Peninsula Hotel’s territory, so as not to cause public misunderstanding and harm our business."
