Chapter 194 Acquisition War

Wei Li coughed lightly and said, "All we can say is that the people behind us have enormous financial resources to support us in completing this acquisition."

Huang Yaonan chuckled and said, "Sir Bao and stock market guru Chen Jiajun joining forces, brilliant!"

After a pause, Huang Yaonan adopted a more serious tone and asked, "If I tell you some inside information about the China-Pakistan Group, are you confident you can drive the Yan family out of China-Pakistan?"

Wei Li and Zhan Peizhong exchanged a glance. He hadn't expected Huang Yaonan to harbor such hatred for the Yan family.

After pondering for a moment, Wei Li said, "That depends on what inside information you provide."

"Have you ever heard the story of the giant rat...?"

Huang Yaonan slowly uttered a sentence, and then stopped there: "Perhaps I shouldn't have said so much. Just pretend you didn't hear these words."

Breaking news: Snowspark's current acquisition price is 42.15 yuan. What is your offer?

"Old fox..."

Wei Li and Zhan Peizhong had been completely intrigued by Huang Yaonan, but unexpectedly, Huang Yaonan stopped talking halfway through his sentence.

It seems they intend to use the two of them as tools for their revenge against the Yan family.

Wei Li astutely grasped Huang Yaonan's desire for revenge against the Yan family and offered a quote: "Our quote is also 42.15."

“A 20% premium.” Huang Yaonan flicked his cigarette ash.

Although a 20% premium is a basic practice in equity acquisition battles.

But at this moment, Wylie changed his aggressive tone from the media: "The price is too high, Mr. Huang. Since you are not sincere, we will take our leave."

After saying that, Wei Li and Zhan Peizhong immediately got up and walked towards the door. Just as they were about to open the door, Huang Yaonan's voice sounded several years older: "Fine, you win."

Wei Li immediately strode back to the table and said, "Mr. Huang, you mentioned the inside story of the China-Pakistan Group earlier. What exactly is it? If you tell us, we are absolutely confident that we can drive the Yan family out of the China-Pakistan Group."

"What kind of scandal would cause such a huge uproar for a listed company?"
"William, as the former head of Hutchison Whampoa, you should know this. Dig deeper, and you'll make an unexpected discovery. After all, my sister is a member of the Yan family. I won't go into details."

After offering a suggestion, Huang Yaonan shook his head.

Wei Li and Zhan Peizhong exchanged a glance and suddenly understood.

With the lawyers present, both parties signed the transfer agreement, and then Wei Li and Zhan Peizhong left the Mandarin Oriental Hotel.

After watching the two leave, Huang Yaonan called Yan Chengkun and said, "I have sold my shares to Asian Investment Company, and I am also resigning from China-Pakistan Group."

After saying that, Huang Yaonan hung up the phone.

After receiving the news, the atmosphere in the Yan family became extremely tense.

Yan Chengkun's expression changed drastically; he hadn't expected that his home would be robbed.

Yan Chengkun never imagined that his brother-in-law would betray him.

The Asian investment company, Monkey Steals Peaches, bought shares from Huang Yaonan, which is practically blatant blatant disrespect to Yan Chengkun.

Yan Chengkun trembled with anger, and it took him a long time to finally manage to utter the words: "A heartless and ungrateful wretch."

To put it bluntly, the shareholding ratio that the China Bus acquisition battle was fighting for was like a balance scale. Huang Yaonan was not a weight on the bottom of the scale, but a weight on the top. He was moved from one side to the other. The difference between the two was too obvious to be indicative of the disruption of the balance.

Upon returning to the company, Wei Li and Zhan Peizhong immediately gathered everyone to review the financial statements of the China-Pakistan Group over the years.

As expected, the analysis by a group of top industry analysts revealed some problems.

The cost of purchasing tires for its buses each year by China Motor Corporation is far higher than that of Kowloon Motor Bus Corporation.

Zhan Peizhong immediately informed Wu Guangzheng of the matter, and Wu Guangzheng hurriedly informed Chen Jiajun: "Jun, should we leak the news to the media?"

“If you release something without evidence now, won’t that just embarrass Sir John Paul? Alright, I’ll have someone take care of it. You can continue acquiring shares.”

Chen Jiajun immediately stopped Zhan Peizhong's immature behavior, and then summoned Dum, Lao Yu and others: "Go and arrest the finance personnel in charge of procurement at the China-Pakistan Group."

"Received, brother."

Doom, Old Prison, and the others exchanged smiles, then left the Guojun Building with beaming smiles.

early morning.

Causeway Bay, the Heaven on Earth nightclub.

Tan Guangliu, the CFO of the China-Pakistan Group, came to spend money with several of his subordinates.

The leader of Hung Hing Causeway Bay, known as "Good Fighter," smiled and held up several bottles of champagne: "Boss Tam, what brings you here?"

"Hey bro, long time no see."

Tan Guangliu was slightly surprised to see Hao Dazai.

“I came here specifically to deliver a few bottles of wine. No matter how busy Mr. Tan is with work, he should still visit our Heaven on Earth place from time to time.”

The burly man put down a few bottles of liquor and said.

"Brother Da, you're too kind. Why don't you sit down and have a drink with me?"

The compliment from the good-natured man made Tan Guangliu feel proud.

"No need for that. You guys have fun. Call me anytime if you need anything. I'll be here to watch the place tonight."

With that, Good Boy offered out cigarettes to everyone and then left.

Soon, Tan Guangliu, the CFO of China-Pakistan Group, and several others were completely drunk. Hao Dazi called a few of his men, who shoved them into a van without saying a word. The employees of China-Pakistan Group only woke up in shock after getting into the van.

The men tried to resist, but as cold gun barrels were pressed against their heads, their eyes widened in terror.

The van entered the Hung Hom Tunnel and drove all the way to an abandoned factory in Tuen Mun. Chen Jiajun, Du Mu, Lao Yu, Han Bin, and Tian Yangsheng, shirtless, were drinking beer and eating dog meat hot pot, occasionally glancing at the five people hanging nearby. Lu Jinqiang, Lu Jianbo, Lu Yongfu, and others were using sticks to take care of Tan Guangliu and the others.

Chen Jiajun glanced at the time and said with a smile, "Everyone, how's your decision? You're all so delicate, I feel sorry for you."

Lu Jinqiang, Lu Jianbo, and others knew how to keep their distance and only targeted them.

Tan Guangliu's face didn't have many injuries, but in reality, it was covered in wounds. Tan Guangliu shook his head weakly.

Tian Yangsheng stood up impatiently and cursed, "Let me do it. I don't believe you won't give me the bottom line."

The larger the group, the more important it is to keep records when committing financial fraud.

why?
This is so that management can have a clear understanding of the situation.

Otherwise, if lower-level employees embezzle funds, it would be very difficult to detect without real accounting records for comparison.

Lu Jinqiang nodded and put the sack over his head. Tian Yangsheng went up and punched Tan Guangliu in the stomach, cursing as he did so.
"To give it to or not to give it to?"

"You bastard, are you going to give it to me or not?"

"Push to the street!"

"You really think we wouldn't dare kill you?"

Chen Jiajun wiped his mouth, took a puff of his cigar, and said, "Ah Sheng, his mouth is gagged, what do you mean?"

"Hey handsome, nod if you want to talk."

"Otherwise, we'll really beat you to death and throw you into the sea."

Tan Guangliu nodded in agreement, and several security guards opened the sack and took out the strip of cloth stuffed in his mouth.

Chen Jiajun said slowly, "Are you going to give us the bottom line of the China-Pakistan Group or not?"

Tan Guangliu said weakly, "Mr. Chen, if I were to give you the Zhongba Group's financial records, I would surely die."

"If you don't give it to me, you'll die even faster." Chen Jiajun pulled out a cigar.

Old Yu stood up, pulled out a Browning pistol, and shoved it into Tan Guangliu's forehead: "Qiang, Bo. Hold them down."

"No, boss!" Tan Guangliu's face instantly showed a look of horror.

Four o'clock in the morning.

Chen Jiajun led the group to Tan Guangliu's private residence.

Tan Guangliu opened the safe, took out a stack of ledgers, and handed them to Chen Jiajun with a haggard expression: "Mr. Chen, these are the ledgers of the China-Pakistan Group for the past five years. Can you leave now?"

Chen Jiajun took the ledger and checked it. After confirming that it was correct, he nodded and said, "It is indeed the financial record of China-Pakistan Group for the past few years. There is no problem."

"Brother, let's check what the problems are..." Doom said, puffing on his cigar.

“No need for all that trouble.” Chen Jiajun pulled out a pistol and pressed it against Tan Guangliu’s head: “Handsome, it’s already four in the morning. You should explain your situation yourself so we can all get started and disperse as soon as possible.”

Tan Guangliu looked at everyone in alarm and nodded.

Doom waved his hand: "Bring me the camera, set up the lights, and record everything."

An hour later, Tan Guangliu finished giving his instructions and, in front of everyone, silently began packing his luggage.

Chen Jiajun chuckled and patted him on the shoulder: "In my opinion, you don't need to run away anymore. Just discuss it with the Yan family and then turn yourself in. Because of your surrender, you might get a few years off your sentence."

Tan Guangliu's face turned deathly pale: "You guys are utter bastards."

“Face reality. You can’t live your whole life hiding. You’re just an accomplice, Yan Jieqiang is the principal offender.” Chen Jiajun said, patting his cheek.

Tan Guangliu was so frightened that he trembled all over and his legs went weak, causing him to collapse to the ground.

The next day.

Early in the morning.

At the headquarters of the China Bus Group in North Point, a group of senior executives and the Yan family began to discuss countermeasures.

Yan Jieqiang announced several resolutions to the press:

1. We accept the resignation of former director Huang Yaonan, effective immediately.

II. Jardine Fleming Investment Limited was formally appointed as the financial advisor to China Motor Corporation.

Third, the board of directors of China-Pakistan Group pointed out that the acquisition proposal by Asia Investment Limited is absolutely unwelcome, does not fully reflect the true value of China-Pakistan Group, and is not in the interests of China-Pakistan Group's shareholders and the public.

"Fourth, according to the revised drawings by the Urban Design Committee, the open-air car park of China Bus Company on King's Road in North Point can be changed from industrial land to a comprehensive redevelopment area. The two plots together cover an area of ​​30500 square meters."

"We invited Jardine Fleming Investment Ltd. to reassess the value of the land held by China-Pakistan Group. The land held by China-Pakistan Group alone is worth 10 billion yuan, and the reassessed share price increases to 42.86 yuan."

"Finally, I would like to announce that Snowspark, a company jointly established by our Yan family and Xinchang Group, actually holds more than 1163 million shares of China-Pakistan Petroleum Corporation (CPPCC), representing approximately 31.4% of CPPCC's issued shares."

"Furthermore, with the announcement of the resumption of trading by China-Pakistan Group, we will closely monitor the movements of Asia Investment Limited to decide whether to conduct a reverse takeover in the name of SNOWSPARK."

As soon as Yan Jieqiang's resolutions and the shareholding of SNOWSPARK were announced, the onlookers all turned their attention to Asia Investment Limited.

After trading resumed, China-Pakistan shares were very active. The share price opened at NT$34.5, rose to a high of NT$43, and closed at NT$42.15.

On the same day, according to documents released by Asia Investment Limited and China-Pakistan Investment Corporation, Asia Investment Limited currently holds 756 million shares, while SNOWSPARK holds 1263 million shares.

The release of this document caused a stir in the entire stock market.
