Volume 4: The World of Great Conflict Chapter 0448: Obstruction
"I don't smoke."
Nan Yi declined Hurley's kindness and continued to lick his ice cream.
He Li put the cigarette box back, leaned against the wall like Nan Yi, slowly took a puff of cigarette and a mouthful of ice cream, licked the left side and the right side with his little tongue, with a hint of evil in his beauty.
Nan Yi turned his body to the side and admired it openly.
Noticing Nan Yi's eyes, He Li did not dodge, but deliberately stuck out his tongue to lick off the ice cream foam on his upper lip.
Nan Yi smiled knowingly and stuffed the entire cone of ice cream into his mouth.
"Boss, do I look good?"
"Not bad, comparable to the other Elizabeth."
"Which one? The one at Buckingham Palace?"
"No, I mean Elizabeth Taylor."
"I think I'm more like Vivien Leigh, so do you think I'm suitable to be an actor?"
“I think it’s appropriate.”
Nan Yi could tell from He Li's tone that she was not asking for his opinion, but wanted to gain recognition and spiritual support from him. In fact, she had already decided that she wanted to be an actor. Even if Nan Yi gave a negative answer, it would not change He Li's determination, so he simply gave her encouragement.
"Really? I think so too. I can definitely become an actor. I will go to the London Film and Television Center to register in August."
"come on."
"Thanks."
"The woman who came to you yesterday was Katherine Boleyn?"
"Yes, you know him?"
"Of course I know him. I saw him in the newspaper. He's the new owner and chairman of Chelsea. He's a nobleman! You two seem very close. Is she your girlfriend?"
When He Li mentioned the word "aristocrat", Nan Yi could smell a sour taste.
"No, I have business dealings with her."
"uh-huh."
Hurley then turned the topic to punk rock and told Nan Yi about The Who, The Police, Pink Floyd, the Sex Pistols, and Iron Maiden, a band that has been very popular in the past two years.
Nan Yi, who didn't know much about rock music, could only listen quietly as a listener until the guests of Longmenzhen started to come in.
That day, Nan Yi did not stay in Longmenzhen until closing time. He handed the accounting work to Dai Xiuxiu. Before six o'clock, Nan Yi left and returned to Downton Abbey.
In the study, Ueto Masami was already waiting. As soon as Nan Yi arrived, the two began to talk about work.
"President, the shares of Cannes Englisch are 24% owned by the Butt family, 28% by Swire Pacific, and 7% by the other 17 small shareholders. The remaining 41% of the shares are all on the secondary market, with a total of 17 million shares. The current share price is HK$5.19.
According to the news from Hong Kong, there are dozens of accounts buying stocks in the market. These accounts belong to two forces. One of them should be Li Tongban, who has been operating for a long time; the other one cannot be found. The one operating in the Hong Kong Stock Exchange is HSBC Securities Department, which just entered the market today. "
"It doesn't matter if we can't find out. We can just treat the person behind the scenes as Wu Zhenlin. Give me the phone number, and I'll call to see if she has any connection with the Bute family."
"President, are you planning to acquire Kangcheng Yingni?" Ueto Masami asked as she handed the phone to Nan Yi.
"Well, Hong Kong's real estate industry is booming, but it only has two cement factories, Green Island Cement and Cannes Cement. It won't be a loss to acquire it, not to mention that it also owns so much land in Hung Hom. Call Sandeep Masarani [head of the finance and accounting team of the Information and Policy Committee] and ask him to prepare 200 million Hong Kong dollars ."
"good."
After Nan Yi finished his phone call with Catherine, he heard some news from her that was neither good nor bad. The Boleyn family and the Bute family had a certain relationship, although not too close, they might be able to have some say.
For Nan Yi, this was enough. He said hello, took Ueto Masami with him, turned the car over several times on the road, and went to Boleyn Castle in secret.
"Catherine, you will fly to Hong Kong tomorrow and meet with Mr. Chavick of the Bute family. You will offer a maximum premium of 30% to buy out their shares in Cannes Cement. Regardless of whether it goes smoothly or not, you will also have to go to Swire and meet with Mr. Milton Swire and propose to buy out their shares."
"OK, I'll take the earliest flight tomorrow." Catherine agreed happily.
She was very happy when Nan Yi asked her to do something. Since she was asked to come forward, it meant that the acquired shares of Kangcheng Yingni would definitely be placed under the name of Bolin Investment. You know, she would have shares in Bolin Investment in the future.
"You have no experience in business negotiations. When you arrive in Xiangkeng, I will have someone assist you."
Nan Yi said that she was an auxiliary, but in fact he was still treating Catherine as a mascot. She had no practical experience, so how could Nan Yi let her lead an acquisition case worth hundreds of millions of Hong Kong dollars.
"clear."
After Nan Yi finished talking to Catherine, he looked at the time, then picked up the phone and made a call.
"Hello, Fang Gongguan, who are you? Did you dial the wrong extension number?"
"Stop being naughty, little girl . When did your family install a programmable telephone?" Nan Yi moved the phone to his ear and said with a smile.
"Hmph, bad dad. We agreed on a month, but it's already been so long. I miss you so much."
"Haha, Dad misses you too. Don't you live a fulfilling life? You're busy with your business every day. Tell Dad how much money you've made?"
"Hehe, not much. Dad, are you coming back?" Nan Ruoyin clamped the phone on her shoulder, sitting on the ground wearing sneakers.
"I can't go back for now, but an auntie is going to Xiangkeng to discuss an acquisition. Auntie Liang will take you to the acquisition team tomorrow. You can follow and watch and listen."
"Oh, I see. Dad, how long will it take for you to come back?"
"Dad doesn't know yet, but it won't be long. If you're bored, you can go to Beijing to visit your Aunt Liu."
"Yeah, I'll go, Dad. I'm going to exercise."
"Go ahead, but don't overdo the exercise."
Exercise depends on persistence in the beginning, and over time it becomes a habit and an addiction. Nan Ruoyin has become addicted, and now she doesn't need supervision at all. Instead, she needs someone to watch her and not let her over-exercise.
"Okay, Dad. Goodbye ."
"goodbye."
After Nan Yi hung up the phone, he said to Ueto Masami: "In the next few days, you will work here and coordinate with Xiangyuan to report the daily purchase situation in the secondary market."
"Which department is in charge of Xiangkeng?"
"Contact Zhao Shixian and let PY Securities buy up the stocks." Nan Yi said after thinking for a while.
"Hayi."
Ueto Masami responded and started making the phone call.
Nan Yi sat down in the big chair, turned on BBC Two, turned the volume down, and watched the sitcom "Yes, Prime Minister" on TV.
This sitcom has been on the air since 1980 and is loved by everyone from ordinary viewers to politicians from all parties. Many politicians have even made cameo appearances in it, and even the Iron Lady made a cameo appearance in one episode.
Nan Yi thought it was quite funny to see a politician guest-starring in a sitcom that satirized politics. He had to say that the people in the United States could afford to have fun.
"Adam, you guys are staying up all night tonight?"
Catherine walked to Nan Yi's side and sat on the armrest of the big chair.
"No, the Hong Kong stock market opens at 1:30 London time and closes at 4 o'clock. You can rest then."
"Then I won't accompany you. I have an early flight."
"No need to accompany me, go to bed."
