As soon as he finished speaking, the conference room door was pushed open.
Everyone turned to look and saw Shen Dong walking in, surrounded by Song Zihao, Ou Yongen, and seven or eight others.
He glanced at Hardy Buck, said nothing, and walked directly to the other side of the long table, sitting opposite Hardy Buck at a distance of more than ten meters.
Hardy Buck frowned and asked, "Who are you?"
Shen Dong smiled slightly and said, "Shen Dong, president of Tengfei Group, is also the new president of Hang Seng Bank."
Hales frowned and said, "Mr. Chen, what do you mean by this?"
Shen Dong snapped his fingers, and Ou Yongen took out a stack of photocopies of agreements from her briefcase and had them distributed to all the shareholders.
"Ladies and gentlemen, I'm sorry, but Mr. Philip Barker signed a betting agreement with me two weeks ago. I gave him two billion US dollars to bet on the Japanese stock market, and he lost. In other words, I now own Mr. Barker's 30,000 square meter plot of land in Central, a commercial building, and 26% of Hang Seng Bank's shares," Shen Dong said with a smile.
After reading the agreement, Hardy Buck slammed it on the table and said, "Our Buck family does not recognize this agreement."
Ou Yongen said, "I'm sorry, this is an agreement signed between Mr. Philip Barker and Mr. Shen personally, and it has nothing to do with your Barker family."
Hardy Buck roared, "Who are you?"
Shen Dong said calmly, "This is Attorney Ou Yong'en, who is in charge of all legal matters related to my acquisition of Hang Seng Bank. Who are you?"
Hardy Buck said, "I am the head of the Buck family, Philip's father."
Shen Dong said "Oh," and then asked, "How many shares of Hang Seng Bank do you own?"
Hardy Buck paused, unable to utter a single word after being silenced by Shen Dong.
Shen Dong continued, "Since you are not a shareholder of Hang Seng Bank, what right do you have to sit in the conference room?"
Hardy Buck said, "I was invited by all the shareholders."
Shen Dong asked, "If that's the case, then what do you want from here?"
Hardy Barker said coldly, "Mr. Shen, I must remind you that you are not yet the chairman of Hang Seng Bank."
Shen Dong smiled slightly and said, "Don't worry, it will be soon. Gentlemen, I currently own 26% of the shares, and recently acquired another 17% on the market, bringing my total to 43%. Do you think I am qualified to sit in the position of Chairman of Hang Seng Bank?"
Hales frowned and said, “We own more than fifty percent of the shares. To become the chairman of Hang Seng Bank, you must obtain our approval.”
Shen Dong nodded and said, "I understand what you mean. Since everyone is here today, let's vote and see who disagrees with me becoming the chairman?"
Hales said, "I disagree."
"disagree."
"disagree."
The other shareholders all raised their hands.
Hardy Barker laughed and said smugly, "Mr. Shen, it seems you're not very popular at Hang Seng Bank?"
A glint of light flashed in Shen Dong's eyes as he said, "There's an old saying in Xia: 'If you don't listen to a toast, you'll have to drink a forfeit.' Since you don't welcome me, I'll have to resort to some methods."
Upon hearing this, everyone turned to look at Chen Dong.
Shen Dong said, “As a major shareholder, I have the right to know all of Hang Seng Bank’s transaction records for the past ten years. In an hour, a large number of professionals will be stationed in Hang Seng Bank’s finance department. Once a problem is found, no matter who is involved, I will immediately send them to prison. Gentlemen, I hope you have not done anything illegal or irregular, otherwise, you will all be dead.”
The expressions of the dozen or so shareholders changed drastically.
As a shareholder of Hang Seng Bank, he has done countless dirty deeds over the years, and his actions cannot withstand scrutiny.
Shen Dong is trying to kill them.
Hales slammed his hand on the table and said sternly, "Chen Dong, are you trying to fight us to the death?"
Shen Dong smiled and said, "The fish will die, but the net will never break. It's not that I'm underestimating you, but are you as powerful as the Lion Mercenaries? What happened to them? More than five thousand of them died without a trace. Can you afford to play with me?"
Seeing that everyone was silent, Shen Dong's momentum grew stronger, and he said, "Today I'll give you a chance. Hang Seng Bank's market value has fallen to 3.5 billion US dollars, and I will buy all the shares you hold at that price."
"Whoever is willing to sell, I guarantee I won't pursue their past debts. But whoever refuses to sell, they'll spend the rest of their life in prison, and the chances of them walking out alive are slim. Of course, if any of you haven't committed any crimes, then it doesn't matter."
At this point, Shen Dong glanced at his watch and said, "I'll give you ten minutes to consider. Your life or death is in your hands."
The shareholders were stunned into silence by Shen Dong's domineering attitude.
That's so damn domineering!
This means they're going to completely break ties with everyone they know!
The fourth shareholder, Cole, said sternly, "Mr. Shen, there's an old saying in China: 'Leave a way out for others, so you can meet again in the future.' By driving us away in this way, you're essentially creating more than a dozen enemies in the business world. We will do everything in our power to bring down your Tengfei Group. Are you prepared?"
Shen Dong smiled and said, "Globally, there are many companies that are qualified to be my enemies, but unfortunately, none of you here are included. Cole, right? I have specifically investigated the top five shareholders, and you have committed quite a few crimes over the years. If just one of them is exposed, you will spend decades in prison."
Cole snapped, "Are you trying to scare me?"
Shen Dong said calmly, "Whether it's a bluff or not, you'll find out later. Right now, I only need your word: are you going to sell your shares or not?"
Looking into Shen Dong's calm yet profound eyes, Cole felt immense pressure and quickly looked away, unable to bear looking at him any longer.
Pressing his advantage, Shen Dong asked, "Mr. Cole, is this question difficult to answer?"
Cole bit his lip and uttered a single word with difficulty: "Sell."
Shen Dong smiled broadly and said, "That's more like it. Don't you think about it? There are all kinds of people in prison. If you went in, you'd probably die in there within a week. Without your protection, wouldn't your wife and children be drowned by the people you offended before? Mr. Hales, don't you think so?"
Hales wasn't stupid; he could tell that Shen Dong was blatantly threatening them.
Hehehe
Hales suddenly laughed, gave Shen Dong a thumbs up, and said, "Mr. Shen, you won. I admit defeat wholeheartedly."
Shen Dong said, "Thank you for your cooperation. Ah Hao, you're in charge of the rest. Make sure the transaction is completed before 6 PM today."
Song Zihao asked, "Should we still investigate the past?"
Shen Dong said, "We will only investigate those shareholders who are not selling their shares."
Song Zihao nodded and said, "I understand."
