1982 Started from Hong Kong

Chapter 394 Pigeon Egg

They test each other, and then attack each other.

With everyone knowing the situation tacitly, Zhai Yuan acted as if he was trying to make his point, and after Li Lu Yanqun hesitated for a while, the two sides hit it off.

"TVB went public in 84 and issued 6.5 million shares. I currently only hold 2600%, or more than million shares."

Li Lu Yanqun got straight to the point: "This time I plan to sell off 3 percentage points, which is more than 7 million shares. The stock market crash recently hit TVB, a constituent stock, and the average price per share is only around $9. The Australian side took the opportunity to lower the price, and they were only willing to pay $ for the shares I have."

Unlike the particularity of stock markets in other regions, the acquisition of corporate shares in Hong Kong is not based on the transaction price of the constituent stocks on that day. In order to avoid factors such as malicious takeovers, it is necessary to make a comprehensive judgment based on the highest stock price of the company in the previous six months.

In the first half of the year, TVB’s stock price reached a peak of 13 yuan.

Although the current acquisition price of HK$9.5 by Penda Group is higher than the recent Hang Seng Index valuation, it is far lower than the price in the first half of the year.

It is no wonder why Li Lu Yanqun has been slow to reach a cooperation with the other party.

In fact, before Black Monday, the price that Benda Group offered to Li Lu Yanqun was 14 yuan per share. Unfortunately, before both parties signed the contract, the stock market crash scared Benda so much that it hastily withdrew and re-priced.

"I said that foreigners are unreliable. They are the richest man in Australia, but they just want to take advantage of others, right?"

Zhai Yuan counted the accounts in his mind and said, "TVB is the largest TV station in Hong Kong. Why should Madam Li be bullied by outsiders? My 91 Entertainment is in need of TV business right now. How about I take over?"

Li Luyanqun's smile showed a lack of interest. He waved his hand and said, "Hey! I rarely get involved in this kind of thing. Ayuan, if you are interested in these shares, you'd better communicate with my advisory group. Even if we can't reach an agreement, it won't hurt the relationship between you and me. Otherwise, people will think I am bullying the weak."

Zhai Yuan nodded and smiled, and put his arm around Li Zhi's shoulder: "All right, let the people below discuss the specific business, so as not to hurt the relationship over a price of one or two dollars."

Li Luyanqun glanced at Li Zhi again, and pointed upstairs with a smile: "Then I'll go upstairs and make a phone call to notify the advisory group to come over."

Then he turned around and told the servant beside him, "Sister Fang, tell the kitchen to cook. Xianbin will be here with his advisory group later, so it might be a little noisy. Mr. Zhai and I will have dinner in the restaurant."

Xianbin, Li Xianbin?

The advisory group that Li Lu Yanqun kept saying she wanted to fire was led by her own son who had just started college.

"I'll go up and call them first."

Li Lu Yanqun smiled, said sorry, and went straight upstairs.

Li Zhi sat on the sofa and breathed a sigh of relief unconsciously: "This Madam Li has a really strong aura. Miss Fang is nothing compared to her."

Zhai Yuan patted her silk stocking thighs, stirring up a wave of flesh, and teased: "You came out of ATV, and you still know Miss Fang's character?"

The sudden attack made Li Zhi gasp, pulling the hem of her clothes to cover her beautiful legs, and muttered, "I've heard a lot about it, and I was selected by the TV station, so how could I not have contact with TVB?"

"If we can get this deal done, I can let Madam Li Xiaohe adopt you as her goddaughter. Then you will be very powerful in the future."

As Zhai Yuan spoke, he clenched his palm to feel the elasticity of the touch, which made Li Zhi's face slightly hot again.

What I experienced these two days was too dreamy.

A "northern girl" who doesn't even have a chance to start a job is suddenly chosen by a big boss. Not only does she stay by his side as a secretary, but she may also be able to rise to the top and become a godparent of the Li family. Even though there are many factions within TVB, the two major private shareholders, the Li family and the Zhao family, have the final say. If other actors in the TV station have such an opportunity as her, they basically won't have to worry about resources anymore, and it won't be a problem to produce an Best Actor or Best Actress.

Compared to those middle-aged greasy directors who can't wait to sleep with me when they are given the role of the second female lead.

Suddenly I felt that Mr. Zhai next to me was quite gentleman.

Thinking of this, Lizhi hesitated for a moment, then pulled up the clothes she had just pulled down, revealing her thighs in stockings again.

Unfortunately, Zhai Yuan didn't notice her little action.

"I guess Mrs. Leigh is upstairs now discussing the details with the group of consultants."

In Li Lu Yanqun's mansion, Zhai Yuan found it difficult to light a cigarette while thinking about something.

He rubbed his nose, turned his head and smiled at Lizhi, "As for the acquisition, wait until her advisory team is in place, then you can go and talk to them."

Lizhi's body tensed up, and he said in embarrassment: "Are you really going to let me go?"

Although she graduated from the San Francisco Business School, Lizhi's biggest business operation so far was just helping her father to buy and sell some textiles in the mainland, and she didn't even dare to touch the futures market.

The total principal amount shall not exceed RMB 100,000.

Now Zhai Yuan wanted her to buy out the shares held by Li Luyanqun, which involved hundreds of millions of dollars. Li Zhi's heart was beating wildly just hearing it just now, and it was even in her throat at this moment.

"relax."

Boss Zhai was very good at comforting people. He patted Lizhi’s chest to help her calm down.

The effect was obvious. Lizhi's attention was immediately diverted, and she pushed his hand away in fear.

Zhai Yuan ignored her angry look and said to himself, "Mrs. Li refused to talk to me, so you are my secretary, so of course you have to come forward for this matter. Benda's offer of 9 yuan is indeed a bit low, but if the other party still wants to use the highest stock price in the past six months, it is impossible. God knows how long it will take for TVB's selling value to rise after this wave of stock market crash."

"So I'll give you a number!" Zhai Yuan continued to say to Li Zhi, "The most I can give Mrs. Li for her shares is HK$11.5, and I can take at least half of her shares, which means a guaranteed minimum of 1300 million shares, with no upper limit. I'll also pay in cash."

Upon hearing this, Lizhi nervously grabbed her clothes and pursed her red lips hard.

There are no bonds or exchanges, and the payment is made in cash in one lump sum. This condition is already very sincere.

But if she offered this price directly to the advisory group, she probably wouldn't have to stay with Zhai Yuan anymore.

The boss gave a psychological price. What I need to do next is to lower the price as much as possible, otherwise it would be like throwing out a pair of king bombs at the beginning of a game of Landlord.

Li Zhi said nervously, "I'm afraid we won't be able to reach an agreement in the end, or you won't be satisfied with the price."

"It doesn't matter."

Whether they could come to an agreement or not would depend on his and Li Luyanqun's attitudes at the dinner table later. Zhai Yuan smiled and patted her thigh again: "Just pay with your body."

…………

Half past four in the afternoon.

Li Xianbin, the only son of Li Xiaoha and Mrs. Li, walked into the mansion accompanied by three professionals.

Li Xianbin, who is in his twenties, has been born with a silver spoon in his mouth.

Having just returned from Princeton University, he went to the Chinese University of Hong Kong to pursue a Master of Business Administration. While other students were still worrying about what to write in their internship reports, Li Xianbin was interning in a family business worth tens of millions or even hundreds of millions.

He was born in Rome.

In comparison, Li Zhi, who is just a half-baked graduate from an ordinary business school, is really not very impressive.

What's more, Li Xianbin is surrounded by three professionals who appear to be from the elite class.

On the long table in the living room, Lizhi was flipping through TVB's internal financial reports.

After hesitating for a moment, he took a deep breath and quoted the first price.

HK$9.8 per share.

……

"Actually, if I'm not mistaken, Ayuan came here this time because he listened to Uncle Zhao Liu's advice and bought out my shares."

The restaurant on the second floor is isolated from the noise of negotiations downstairs.

Li Lu Yanqun sat at the dining table, cut a piece of goose liver and put it in his mouth, then wiped the corner of his mouth with a napkin, then looked at Zhai Yuan opposite with a smile, and continued: "Don't worry, I don't have any other intentions. TVB's shares are also planned to be reduced. Uncle Zhao Liu has cooperated with the Li family for so many years, and there is no conflict."

Zhai Yuan nodded slightly when he heard this: "It was indeed Uncle Six's suggestion."

Li Lu Yanqun had an expression that said "I knew it would be like this" and smiled and shook his head: "Sixth Uncle is really... the older he gets, the more he worries."

Seeing that Zhai Yuan didn't understand what he meant.

Li Lu Yanqun explained a few more words.

The cause of the incident came from the Australian Penda Group, which planned to develop its media business in Hong Kong and inevitably set its sights on TVB, the largest TV station.

At this time, in the internal equity structure of TVB, apart from the major conglomerates such as HSBC, Hutchison Whampoa and the Li Xizhen family which have relatively large shareholdings, the largest private shareholders are still Mrs. Li Xiaohe and Sir Edward Chiu.

Before the stock market crash, the head of Benda approached Mrs. Li and Mr. Zhao Yifu one after another and proposed to buy out their shareholdings and offered a high price of 14 Hong Kong dollars.

Zhao Yifu was always hesitating, waiting for Li Lu Yanqun's reaction, fearing that he would sell his shares first and Benda would absorb shares from Mrs. Li and other shareholders, and then he would lose his position as the largest private shareholder.

It was not until the stock market crash that Zhao Yifu met Zhai Yuan at Li Fuzhao's house and urged him to buy out the shares held by Li Lu Yanqun.

In this way, Benda will not be able to get Li Lu Yanqun's shares. How much it can acquire depends on the proportion it is willing to reduce. Although there is Zhai Yuan on the board of directors, TVB is still the only dominant company.

"It turns out there is still such a relationship."

After listening to Li Luyanqun's explanation, Zhai Yuan said with a helpless smile, "I thought Uncle Six was kind enough to give me the information, and I was thinking that we could work together to build a big TV station in the future. I didn't expect that he would use me as a tool to check and balance the richest man in Australia from the very beginning."

"That's why he said he was thoughtful. When my husband was still alive, TVB was handed over to Uncle Six to manage. Now that he has passed away, is he still afraid that a woman like me will join forces with outsiders to seize power?"

Li Luyanqun laughed and joked: "In fact, I have never participated in TVB's internal affairs in recent years. On the one hand, my energy is limited, and on the other hand, I am worried that he will think too much. The old man is too narrow-minded. If you join the board of directors in the future, you should also pay attention to this aspect."

"It doesn't matter. I just want to have another TV channel to express my voice."

Zhai Yuan felt that he had no conflict of interest with Zhao Yifu, and said with a smile: "By the way, Madam Li, if this acquisition goes smoothly, I hope to release this news next year, because my Jiuyi Entertainment plans to go public next year."

"Oh?" Li Lu Yanqun raised his eyebrows slightly, then smiled and said, "It seems that I have to buy a few shares of your group in advance next year."

"Okay, the more the better." Zhai Yuan laughed and said casually, "My secretary downstairs is from the mainland. She has no background in Hong Kong and has always been booed. Madam Li thinks she looks good, so how about taking her as a goddaughter?"

Zhai Yuan casually mentioned this trivial matter, and Li Lu Yanqun also agreed to it casually.

the end.

Li Lu Yanqun took off a sparkling pigeon egg in her hand.

"Business is business. It's our first meeting, so I'm giving my adopted daughter a small gift."

A servant placed the ring in front of Zhai Yuan.

Li Luyanqun then said with a smile: "I won't hand it to her personally. Girls need to be coaxed more. I'll give you a chance to perform..."

…………

Around 8pm.

Zhai Yuan and Li Zhi walked out of the Li family mansion together.

Let the satellite send Lizhi home first.

Sitting alone in the car, Zhai Yuan touched the pigeon egg in his pocket.

He took out his phone and called Zhong Chuhong: "Sister Hong, I know you have always liked jewelry. Are you free? I have a gift for you as an apology for what happened last time..."
