Zhang Juan's face turned red after being teased by Cao Mo, but just now she was so distracted staring at Cao Mo that she forgot that her subordinate was holding a kettle to make tea for everyone. What else could she say in front of Li Xiaodong?
However, besides being ashamed and angry, she was also filled with shock.
Is this kid in front of me going to take over the Lu family’s shareholding in Xinhai United Bank?
As the deputy director of the International Department Office, Zhang Juan's position is insignificant, but she knows a lot of gossip.
Due to Huamao Capital's attack, a crisis broke out in the Taihua Group, and the stock price fell to the limit one after another. The Lu family could not even hold on to its small shareholding in Xinhai United Bank, and Zhang Juan knew it all.
If the price of this part of the equity can be really low, she would like to take hundreds of thousands to join the management stock ownership plan. Although she is not yet at the management level at Xinhai United Bank, who told her to have a husband who is a government minister?
Woolen cloth?
Cheng Xi's fiancé (boyfriend?) is actually an enemy of Huamao Capital, and he wants to get this part of the equity at a price of one million higher than the debt of Xinchang Steel Trading?
Xinchang Steel Trading's mortgaged claims against Xintaihua Investment amount to a total of 156 million yuan in principal plus interest.
In front of Li Xiaodong, Zhang Juan did not doubt that Cao Mo was telling lies. Who was Li Xiaodong? There was no way he could talk and laugh with someone who was out of tune. But where did a girl like Cheng Jia, who had her eyes set above her head, get such a golden tortoise?
husband?
No wonder he didn't take Chaoyong under his sight.
Zhang Juan was shocked in her heart, but everyone in the reception room stared at her in surprise, ridicule, or indifference. No matter how strong her psychological quality was, she could not hold on and had no shame to stay in the reception room any longer.
Embarrassed, she took a paper towel and hurriedly wiped away the hot water that spilled on the coffee table, then walked outside with the kettle as if she was running away.
However, she was so distracted that she didn't notice a staff member walking over from the side and bumping into each other. She screamed like a ghost, threw the water bottle in her hand, and sat down on the ground.
Such a big movement really scared everyone in the office area to tremble, and many people stood up from their workstations to look over.
Zhang Juan stood up as if crawling and fled into her office. She wished she could just wipe her neck and forget about it. She didn't know where to put it.
"..." Li Xiaodong also looked at this scene in surprise.
He didn't know what had just happened, and couldn't believe that Zhang Juan, who was usually a bit coquettish in front of old men like them, would lose her composure to such an extent.
Is it true that you always come here to complain?
Li Xiaodong shook his head and signaled Chen Tianxin to close the door of the reception room to prevent more scandals within Xinlian from being exposed to Cao Mo.
"Are you sure you want to offer this part of the equity?" Li Xiaodong was still concerned about business and asked Cao Mo.
Cao Mo only added a symbolic "one million yuan" to Xinchang Steel Trading's debt. To put it bluntly, he was humiliating the Lu family brothers. This incident would inevitably have some impact on the acquisition fund plan that was secretly agreed upon two days ago. Li Xiaodong was also
It is impossible to confirm whether this impact is positive or negative. It is better to confirm with Cao Mo in person to avoid unpredictable changes.
"President Li, you have also heard about my relationship with the Lu brothers. Not only am I not afraid of offending them, but they should have psychological expectations for my offer,"
Cao Mo just had a few words with Lu Jiancheng face to face, and he had a better grasp of Lu Jiancheng's mentality. He also knew Lu Jiancheng very well. Brother Lu Jianchao's hatred for Han Shaorong was even more heartfelt at this moment, and he said with a smile,
"Lu Jiancheng and Lu Jianchao are not afraid that I will humiliate them, but they are afraid that I will not join the game... Only if I join the game will they be able to find some room to move. Of course, they may look humiliated, Mr. Li.
You should also cooperate with their performance!"
Of course, Li Xiaodong knew that the possibility Cao Mo mentioned existed, but he couldn't be sure. But then he thought that Cao Mo could make a fortune in such a harsh environment in Africa, and he had been closely entangled with the Lu family for several years. He should have a good grasp of the mentality of the Lu family brothers.
More accurately, he nodded and said: "Then I will tell them so!"
Li Xiaodong stood up and thought about going directly upstairs to find Lu Jiancheng and brother Lu Jianchao to talk about this matter, but when he reached the door of the VIP reception room, he stopped again, turned back and said to Cao Mo: "Forget it, I'll call
Let’s talk to them here…”
He really doesn't want to cooperate with the Lu brothers in performing anything. He is a professional financier, not a professional actor.
Of course Cao Mo would not force Li Xiaodong to do anything. Li Xiaodong would naturally do whatever he felt was appropriate.
Chen Tianxin sat aside with some doubts. He felt that the relationship between Cao Mo and Li Xiaodong was much closer than he thought. However, he could hear a lot of information from the conversation between Li Xiaodong and Cao Mo, but there was also a sense of confusion.
a feeling of.
Obviously there were some key details that Cao Mo and Li Xiaodong knew, but he didn't know.
However, he was certain of two things, that is, Cao Mo really wanted to humiliate the Lu family brothers, and Li Xiaodong wanted to use Cao Mo to make the Lu family brothers retreat and stop pestering him. As for Cao Mo's judgment of the Lu family,
He is not really angry and angry about his "humiliation", and he doesn't know the reason.
The working environment in Cheng Xi's family is relatively simple, but even Chen Chang, who is usually quite scheming and very shrewd and capable, rarely has the opportunity to come into contact with such complicated things. At this moment, he just sat quietly aside.
Li Xiaodong thought about it for a while, then stood at the door of the reception room, took out his mobile phone, and made a hands-free call to Lu Jiancheng.
"Before the Lu family is at the end of its rope, you tell Cao Mo to stop being too complacent and not to be too complacent. He doesn't know how he will die in the future. And I, Lu Jiancheng, is not someone he can humiliate wantonly! Let's take our leave today. What's next?
I’ll trouble you, Mr. Li, if things happen again!”
Lu Jiancheng's voice came from the other end of the phone, and Chen Tianxin could clearly hear the gnashing of teeth even from a distance.
Hang up the phone first.
Cao Mo spread his hands and asked Li Xiaodong with a smile: "Lu Jiancheng always lacks a bit of momentum when he talks like this on the phone! Should we go to the elevator to see them off so that they can better show their shame and anger?"
?”
Li Xiaodong smiled and shook his head: "I'm not as passionate as you. I just want to be able to deal with the Lu family brothers without having to worry about them!"
After a while, a text message came from Li Xiaodong's mobile phone. He glanced at it and said to Cao Mo: "The Lu brothers have left. Do you want to come to my office and sit for a while?"
"I want to borrow 10 billion from Xinlian Bank, but you won't agree to it. Why should I rush to your office?"
Cao Mo joked that he would say goodbye to Li Xiaodong right here in the reception room so as not to disturb his normal work.
Although Xinhai United Bank is not a major first-tier bank, its total assets are more than 100 billion. As the general manager, Li Xiaodong is much busier than him.
…………
…………
After Li Xiaodong left, Cao Mo and Chen Chang also stood up and said goodbye to Chen Tianxin.
As soon as they reached the elevator, they saw Cheng Xi picking up his handbag and chasing him out, asking, "What, you want to skip work?"
"I've been killed by you. If I continue to sit at my desk today, won't I be stared at to death?"
Cheng Xi used her handbag as a gesture to hit Cao Mo. When she saw the elevator door opened, she dragged Cao Mo and quickly slipped in, avoiding the curious eyes that looked behind her.
No matter how strong her mental quality is, she can't just sit at her desk and continue her daily work as if nothing happened today; instead of staying and suffering, she might as well find an excuse to skip work and feel more comfortable.
"Who are you calling?" Cao Mo asked curiously when he saw Cheng Xi taking out his mobile phone and placing a call against the elevator wall.
"Let Yu Jing skip work together!" Cheng Xi said matter-of-factly.
They stopped on the floor where the Yinguang Plaza Commercial Company headquarters was located. After waiting for a while, they saw Yu Jing walking over on high heels holding a stack of documents in her arms, and asked furtively: "What happened just now?
I was in your mother's office just now. Your mother was answering a phone call. I vaguely heard what was being said about you on the other end of the phone. Your mother's face looked a little solemn. There is something wrong with Feng Shui today."
After Huayi acquired Yinguang Commercial Plaza, Yang Lifang served as the president of Yinguang Plaza Commercial Co., Ltd. on behalf of Huayi Commercial Group. She had known many people at Xinhai United Bank before, and now that she has moved to the same office building, she has even more friends.
Duo's eyes were watching Cheng Xi's every move.
"Didn't you get hurt by Cao Mo today? He molested Wang Chaoyong and his aunt!" Cheng Xi patted his smooth forehead and gave Cao Mo an angry look with his beautiful eyes.
"Ah?" Of course Yu Jing knew that there was a number one person like Zhang Juan in the International Department of Xinhai United Bank, but she really couldn't imagine Cao Mo teasing Zhang Juan, so she asked gossiping, "How did you tease that menopausal woman?"
, Cheng Xi usually doesn’t dare to mess with her?”
Cao Mo was not interested in repeating what had just happened, so he said, "Is this the kind of teasing you imagined?"
Yu Jing blushed.
"What are you thinking about? You don't think I'm really interested in middle-aged women, do you?" Cao Mo asked curiously.
Yu Jing's face turned even redder and she spat: "Men really don't have many good things?" She stopped talking to Cao Mo and asked Cheng Xi, "Where are you going to skip work?"
"You can just find a place to spend your time. You can't just sit at your desk like nothing's wrong today and let others stare at you all day, right? You can come with us too!" Cheng Xi grabbed Yu Jing and said.
"You don't dare to offend Zhang Juan, as if I dare to offend your mother?" Yu Jing raised her hands in surrender and said, "Zhang Juan is just the deputy director of a small department office in Xinhai United Bank, and your mother is a silver-colored
President, if she feels unhappy one day and directly lays me off, who can I cry to?"
"Just say that Cao Mo kidnapped you and dragged you away for whatever reason. Cao Mo will take the blame. Anyway, it would be hate for another menopausal woman to hate him. He can afford to take the blame." Cheng Xi thought of Cao Mo.
Teasing Yu Jing's arm when teasing Zhang Juan, she couldn't help but laugh.
"Cheng Xi! If you don't work hard at your workplace, where will you go?"
Cheng Xi stuck out her tongue and turned around, seeing her mother walking out of the office on the other side of the corridor, as if she expected that she would run downstairs to find Yu Jing.
Cheng Xi opened her mouth and lied to her mother: "Maybe I caught a cold in the morning. I felt a little uncomfortable as soon as I arrived at the work. I just took leave and was going home to rest. When I got off the elevator, I suddenly thought that it might be Cao Mo who brought us something to eat in the morning.
If you want something clean, come over and ask Yu Jing if she feels uncomfortable too. Sure enough, Yu Jing also said she felt a little uncomfortable and was hesitating about how to ask for leave."
"Aunt Yang!" Cao Mo and Chen Chang shouted at the same time.
"Well!" Yang Lifang groaned slightly, and she accepted it, but she said to Cheng Xi with a straight face, "Since you are not feeling well, then you should go home and rest, and don't wander around outside!"
Seeing Cheng Xi's mother turn around and enter the office, Yu Jing nudged Cheng Xi: "Isn't your lie too clumsy?"
"You don't care whether it's clumsy or not, as long as it works!" Cheng Xi urged Yu Jing to quickly pack her things and leave with them.
Cheng Xi and Yu Jing are not as ambitious as Chen Chang. If they can skip work, there will be no psychological pressure, but Chen Chang will not be able to do it. The task given to her by Ge Jun is expected to start with her in these two days.
Come up with a plan.
After getting out of the elevator and standing in the lobby of the north tower of Yinguang Plaza, Chen Chang said to Cao Mo: "You guys find a place to stay. Give me a contact person. I will take a taxi directly to Tianyue headquarters to get the information."
Hearing what Chen Chang said, Cao Mo wanted to slap himself. Why did he have this extra mouthful while eating breakfast, so that Chen Chang still kept it in his heart?
"Let's go there together." Yu Jing suggested as expected.
At Zhou Shan's wedding, Ding Zhaoqiang, Yu Yiming, Li Xiaodong and other well-known business tycoons were all figures that Yu Jing could never reach, but they all acted very approachable in front of Cao Mo. This was already
It is enough to prove that Cao Mo is extraordinary.
That night, when Cao Mo was having an affair with Cheng Xi, she and Chen Chang were sitting nearby.
However, Yu Jing didn't have very specific thoughts about what Cao Mo said. She thought that Chen Chang was going to Tianyue headquarters to get information, and they would just go with him to see what he had to say; otherwise, they would have to skip the meeting this Monday morning.
Where does Ben go to kill time?
"Okay!" Cao Mo agreed very simply, and while walking out of the building with the three girls, he was thinking in his mind that he would take Cheng Xi and the others directly to the test site of Tianyue Industrial to see the car, and let Zhao
If you bring the information to meet them at the testing site, it won't reveal too much traces?
After walking out of the north tower of Yinguang Plaza and standing on the street waiting for a taxi, Cao Mo didn't think of an excuse to leave no trace.
At this time, no available taxis were seen passing by, and a black Mercedes-Benz commercial vehicle parked far away slowly approached.
The film-covered glass window slowly lowered, revealing Lu Jiancheng's exhausted face; Lu Jianchao could vaguely be seen sitting in the passenger seat, but Lu Jianchao had no intention of opening the window.
Cheng Xi and Chen Chang both looked at Cao Mo curiously.
Cao Mo just said in the guest reception hall that Lu Jiancheng would make a "humiliating offer" to him early.
Being mentally prepared, it would be better to accept Cao Mo's humiliating offer than if Cao Mo didn't step in. Unexpectedly, as soon as they walked out of the North Tower of Yinguang Square, Cao Mo's words would be directly verified.
Cao Mo stood on the steps with his hands in his pockets, looking at Lu Jiancheng's face like a drowned dog and Lu Yan's ferocious and unconvinced face further behind, and asked: "Chairman Lu is not so poor that he wants to steal the taxi business, right?"
?”
"Even if I want to be a taxi driver, would you dare to take a taxi?" Lu Jiancheng asked.
"I'm a timid person. Chairman Lu, don't say anything to scare me." Cao Mo said with a shrug, and then stretched out his hand to signal the bodyguard to continue sitting in the Mercedes-Benz commercial vehicle and Chevrolet SUV across the street. There is no need to run over.
put one's oar in.
Seeing Cao Mo's action, Lu Jiancheng turned around and glanced back. Then he opened the car door and walked out. He stood leaning against the car, took out a cigarette and lit it, and said, "If Taihua accepts the offer you just made, you will not withdraw it."
Bar?"
"It's hard to say..." Cao Mo said, "I still say the same thing. Watching Han Shaorong put you to death actually makes me feel quite happy. There is no need to get involved in this mess at this time. As for the grudge between me and Han Shaorong in the future,
How to solve it? Chairman Lu, you really don’t have anything to worry about. You still have to worry about your own future fate!"
"You should have known about the relationship between Bank Atlantic and the Oppenheimer family for a long time, right?" Lu Jiancheng asked.
Cao Mo took out a cigarette from his pocket to make his shock look more real.
"Look, we all guessed this. How could Han Shaorong not guard against you secretly making peace with Nitz Oppenheimer and Sturgeon Foster?" Lu Jiancheng said, "Why would you bother to be a person?"
Woman, why don’t you take advantage of such a big advantage?”
"What you said makes sense. If I didn't interfere with the situation, it would indeed be more ulterior. But the quotation just now still doesn't count. I have to make some adjustments. I decided to invest in Xinchang in Xintaihua."
On top of the debt of the steel trade, we will deduct another one million," Cao Mo said. "If you can still accept it, I will inform the staff now to draw up a contract with you!"
"Cao Mo, don't bully me too much!" Lu Yan couldn't hold it in any longer and stuck his head out of the car window, roaring with veins on his neck popping.
"I'm just making a quotation. You also hope that my quotation will make Han Shaorong suspicious and scrupulous. Why did I go so far as to deceive others?" Cao Mo looked at Lu Yan calmly and asked with a smile, "Young Master Yan has no contact with me.
It's not a day or two. You touch your heart and ask, when did I, Cao Mo, go too far in bullying others? When did I do it if we didn't agree with each other, and slapped my butt and pulled me down when we didn't agree? Or when did Master Yan misunderstand us?
We are friends, do you mistakenly think that I will be patronizing to you one day?"
Lu Yan's thin face twitched a few times, but he was speechless after all.
"Okay, we've made it a deal. I hope you won't do it again. Can Tianyue send someone to negotiate the contract now?" Lu Jiancheng said, "Based on your familiarity with Taihua, you probably don't need to do it with Taihua."
There is no further investigation into the debt owed to Xinchang Steel Trading and the shareholding of Xinhai United Bank."
It was indeed as Cao Mo expected. Lu Jiancheng was afraid that Cao Mo would be able to restrain his temper and not interfere in the situation. In that case, Han Shaorong could of course unscrupulously kill Taihua and the Lu family before talking about anything else.
And as long as Cao Mo steps in to disrupt the situation and makes Han Shaorong more cautious, then the Lu family will be able to find some room to struggle.
Therefore, for this part of Xinhai United Bank's equity, even if they endure the humiliation and invest another one million into it, they still have to reach a deal with Tianyue.
Because Xinchang Steel Trading's loan was about to expire, it was necessary to prevent this part of the equity from being preemptively applied for judicial freezing by Xinchang Steel Trading. After Lu Jiancheng spoke, he did not rush back into the car, but stared at Cao Mo and asked Cao Mo
Just make a phone call and tell the matter, and the two parties will conduct the transaction directly.
"After all, it's a 145 million transaction, why is it like shopping for groceries on the street!" Cao Mo complained to the three women beside him while taking out his mobile phone.
In front of Cheng Xi, Cao Mo did not call Song Yuqing directly, but called Chen Feng, explained the whole story to Chen Feng on the phone, and asked Chen Feng to follow up on the matter immediately.
Although Tianyue has conducted investigations into Xintaihua and Taihua, when it comes to equity transfers, a lot of information is still sealed and confidential.
If Tianyue really wants to trade this part of the equity of Xinhai United Bank with Taihua, it still needs to verify the existence and pledge status of the equity, and even needs some formal certification documents from Xinhai United Bank.
Since the transaction must be completed before Xintaihua Investment's debt to Xinchang Steel Trade materially defaults, Xinchang Steel Trade's pledge right on this part of the equity must first be released, which means that Chen Feng has to start today
Promote related work.
Worried that some things could not be explained clearly over the phone, Cao Mo, Cheng Xi, Yu Jing, and Chen Chang went into Yinguang Plaza and found a cafe to sit down and wait for Chen Feng to come over and meet them.
"Were you really kidding just now?" Yu Jing blinked her big beautiful eyes and asked while stirring the latte in her hand.
Cao Mo saw his phone flashing and picked it up to see a text message from Song Yuqing:
"You use another company to acquire this part of the equity of Xinhai United Bank, Tianyue, but no one is more qualified to be a director of Xinhai United Bank than Cheng Xi..."
Cao Mo turned off the phone screen and felt a little headache.
He was in the reception room of Xinhai United Bank just now, and he was just trying to be relaxed, without thinking through many things.
According to the articles of association of Xinhai United Bank, shareholders holding more than 3% of the shares can nominate directors. Xintaihua holds 2% of the shares of Xinhai United Bank, and it only obtained the right to nominate a director in conjunction with other small shareholders.
If they now take over the 2% shares of Xinhai United Bank held by Xin Taihua, plus the shares held by Dongsheng Group, they will just meet the criteria for director nomination.
It was originally arranged for Chen Feng or Zhao Cheng, or even Shen Ji to join the board of directors of Xinhai United Bank, but Cao Mo did not expect Song Yuqing to send such a text message.
"What are you thinking about with such a frown on your face?" Cheng Xi asked curiously.
"I want to acquire 2% of the equity of Xinhai United Bank. Together with Dongsheng's shareholding, it is just enough to nominate a director. And I spend most of my time abroad. This directorship cannot be given to Dongsheng in vain. I was thinking just now,
If you were to serve as a director of Xinhai United Bank, wouldn't that old woman Zhang Juan have a very beautiful face?" Cao Mo asked.
"Ah!" Cheng Xi was startled and shook his head guiltily, "What international joke are you making? How could I do this?"
