Chapter 214: The Unlucky Ones Are Always Minority Shareholders
Old Aston and others did not avoid Li Changheng and discussed for a while, and then said.
"We asked a lawyer to draft a contract for the transfer of 2.1% of the shares. You transfer 14 million pounds in cash to our account first, and let us know your strength to fulfill your promise."
Li Changheng immediately shook his head.
There is only 39 million US dollars left in my UBS account, which is 9.75 million pounds.
Unless the 20 million US dollars in Standard Chartered is added, it can reach 14.75 million pounds.
However, Standard Chartered’s US$20 million has already been mortgaged, and as long as it is needed, it can lend 80 million Hong Kong dollars.
If you want to use the money again, you can definitely do it, but the procedures will be very troublesome.
Moreover, it is impossible for the old Aston to say anything.
Therefore, Li Changheng frowned and shook his head and said, "Even if it is a deposit, there is no reason to pay 4 layers. In order to express my sincerity, I can increase the 10% to 20%, which is 7 million pounds."
When the old Aston heard this, the way he looked at Li Changheng was really different.
A young man under the age of 20 can easily come up with 7 million pounds in cash, let alone his peers in England, even if there are not many people in the entire business world who can have so much cash.
"Transfer the money, Henry." Old Aston turned to the shareholders and Oliver and said, "You are also preparing a contract."
The money was transferred by phone, and it was transferred within UBS. In less than ten minutes, the shareholders present all asked UBS by phone, and they all smiled when they learned that the money had arrived.
At this time Oliver also knocked on the door and walked in, "Father, the bank is ready."
The old Aston looked at the clock, and there were only 12 minutes left, and then he looked at the shareholders and asked, "Do you all agree?"
When things came to an end, some people must have hesitated. Old Aston looked at Li Changheng and said, "Henry, we are our own now, tell me how sure are you of catching the thief?"
"I'm sure I'll find the diamond, but arresting people,,,."
Li Changheng lowered his head, pretending to be tangled up and pondered for dozens of seconds before continuing, "Since you all said that we are your own people, I won't hide it anymore, my people have already targeted a thief.
But the exact number of people in the gang is not yet known. "
"Are you serious?"
Old Aston and the shareholders were surprised and happy at the moment, but when they thought of 5% of the shares, they wanted to beat him up again.
Fortunately, everyone quickly thought of Li Changheng's promise of distributing 5 million pounds per person.
It seems that 35 million 5% of the shares are equivalent to a market value of 700 million pounds, but this is not how it is calculated.
The shares controlled by the 7 members of the board of directors are actually only 55%.
And the 5% shares for Li Changheng were paid by all shareholders according to the proportion of the shares they own.
The recovery of the diamond means that everything has returned to normal, but this chaos will definitely cause concerns among minority shareholders.
The shares that can be bought for 5 million pounds are definitely more than the shares that they and other small shareholders took out together.
With this exit and entry, the shares not only did not decrease but increased, and the real losers were those small shareholders who did not get any money from Li Changheng.
Moreover, the idea that the 7 shareholders present had a chance to recover 100 million pounds if they were caught as a thief was not clear enough to stimulate their thinking.
As for whether the minority shareholders will agree to award shares, it goes without saying if the thieves return the diamonds.
But if the thief did not return the diamonds, the award of 5% of the shares would definitely pass.
After all, the importance of all the wealth and one-twentieth of the wealth is that individuals will choose all the wealth.
Old Aston got the promise from Li Changheng that he had already targeted the members of the thieves, and nodded to Oliver without hesitation.
Seeing Oliver leave hesitantly, the old man looked at Li Changheng and said, "Now it's our luck, you lost 7 million pounds.
As luck would have it for you, we welcome a new major shareholder. "
Li Changheng smiled, and he didn't care about the old Aston's idea of cheating.
Went straight to the bar, poured himself a third of a whiskey,
Then he opened the cigar box, cut off the cigar cap, and deliberately lit the cigar slowly.
After several puffs, I thought that Oliver had almost transferred the money.
Cai sat on a leather chair with a wine glass and smoked a cigar and said with a smile, "It's normal to take some risks if you want to get what you want.
And, gentlemen, I was able to become a billionaire before I was 19, do you know why? "
Everyone was immediately attracted by his words and that confidence.
Seeing Li Changheng like a rookie who doesn't know how to taste wine or cigars, he took a sip of wine, smoked cigars and said with a smile, "Because I have never lost."
The seven people present were stunned for a moment, and then cursed in their hearts.
Then some people thought angrily, they didn't know that Henry was after the thief, and would agree to the old Aston's proposal, which made sense.
But since they knew that the thieves were all being targeted, that is to say, even if 100 million pounds were sent over, Henry's people might be able to prevent the thieves from returning the diamonds.
In other words, the young man in front of him is bound to get 5% of the shares.
Moreover, they didn't dare not to give it. After all, Li Changheng's financial resources and connections were stronger than those of thieves.
And those mysterious people who didn't show up are also a huge threat.
Since he was able to find the thief in such a short period of time, even the shareholders of the diamond group, such as himself, could not find it.
Then these people must be good at intelligence, tracing, tracking, and even infiltration.
In other words, if it is assassination other than finding someone...
Everyone couldn't help shrinking their necks, looking at Li Changheng who was smoking a cigar in surprise, worry, and anxiety.
"Knock knock knock", there was a knock on the door, and Oliver was holding a transfer confirmation slip from the bank.
Moreover, behind him was Claire, who was chased away by the old Aston.
"Father, the bank transfer confirmation slip has been printed out."
"Lord Aston, I have come to deliver a last letter."
Claire took out an envelope from the briefcase, "But I have to confirm that the account you transferred is the one designated by my client.
Then, this letter with the location of the goods can be delivered to you. "
Old Aston knew that the cargo Claire was talking about was the two tons of diamonds.
Picking up the shredded and taped letter that lawyer Clare handed over to him an hour ago, he checked the printed transfer slip against the bank's phone and fax.
With a straight face, he handed it to lawyer Clare.
Claire hurriedly put the briefcase on the ground, took the bank transfer slip and the letter, and reported the numbers eloquently while comparing them.
Li Changheng, who was sitting on the leather chair, smiled while listening.
With his excellent hearing, he clearly heard the figures reported by Claire, which were exactly the same as the account Hobbs gave him yesterday afternoon.
In other words, there is a full 100 million pounds in cash lying in the UBS account whose password has been changed by himself.
What does this money represent? It means that Li Changheng has 30 million pounds more than Philip's disclosed personal assets.
And if the money can be disclosed, he will be the second richest person in England under the age of 30.
"When will you confirm?"
Old Aston endured his angry questioning, and woke up Li Changheng who was in a trance.
Lawyer Claire handed over the letter with the location of the diamonds in a panic to Old Aston.
