Whether the company will fire him to protect its reputation is open to debate. But it's true that Xing Baohua won't discard someone after they've served their purpose; he'll likely be transferred to another important position.
Besides, it was the boss who told me to let myself have fun.
However, this stalemate can't go on forever; we need to find a way to back down!
Zhao Shanhai, who had been looking for a way out, finally got his. Unfortunately, it wasn't a good one.
As the boss said, if we miss this opportunity, we may never have another one.
They wanted to manipulate him and make him a traitor, so he had no choice but to reluctantly play that role.
"How much lower do you want to lower it?" Zhao Shanhai, who had been standing up and glaring at Toyota Nanzhao, suddenly deflated like a punctured balloon and sat down on the sofa as if he had lost his soul.
I ran my hands through my hair, and it soon became like a bird's nest.
"A 30% reduction in the total share price?"
Toyota Nanzhao's words made Zhao Shanhai look up and stare at him dumbfounded.
He asked, his voice trembling, "You mean, you want my boss to pay 30%?"
"Anyway, you're the one who's on the run. If you want to write 'gift for free,' fine, I'll give you half, how about that?"
Upon hearing this, Zhao Shanhai's head throbbed as if it were a rattle-drum.
"This won't work, that won't work, tell me your opinion." Toyota Nanzhao asked Zhao Shanhai, who seemed a little terrified.
"You're trying to kill me. Do you know how much power Xing Baohua has on the mainland? If you lowered the price a little, at least my family could find a way to get out."
"We've really angered my boss by teaming up to swindle him like this. Next time he tries to bribe you, you'd better think about the consequences!"
After Zhao Shanhai finished speaking, he appeared agitated and reached for a cigarette.
Trembling, I found a lighter and lit one to calm myself down.
"Stop with the nonsense. I know what I'm doing. Just tell me, how much is a suitable reduction?" Toyota Nanzhao asked more directly.
"Reduced to 40% of the premium."
As soon as Zhao Shanhai finished speaking, Toyota Nanzhao shouted, "Impossible! How about 10%?"
"30%! You decide whether it's okay or not!"
If you disagree, there's nothing I can do. I have elderly parents and young children to support, and I don't want anything to happen to them.
Even if you post these things in Hong Kong and I lose my job, I can still find work elsewhere. But if I do what you say, I'll not only be homeless overseas, but I'll also become completely alone.
As he spoke, Zhao Shanhai stood up, his hands trembling, and stubbed out his cigarette in the ashtray.
"30% is my biggest risk. Whether it works or not is up to you. I'm taking these photos as a sign of my sincerity in cooperating with you."
Xing Baohua has over two billion US dollars in both Morgan Stanley and HSBC. His total holdings are around five billion US dollars.
If you don't believe me, you can use your connections to find out what this money is for, do you know? It's because your attempt to repurchase at a premium failed, so he's going to acquire the shares from minority shareholders and directly enter the Toyota board of directors.
"Your era at Toyota is coming to an end. A 30% premium only amounts to 3.8 billion!"
After saying this, Zhao Shanhai walked directly to the door, paused there, and turned to Toyota Nanshao, saying, "I've made up my mind. Have Mitsui Tousaburo give me the message."
Watching Zhao Shanhai's figure disappear, Toyota Nanzhao stroked his chin and said, "I have a feeling that I've fallen into his trap."
"The photos and tapes aren't Zhao's Achilles' heel. They don't matter to him," Mitsui Fujisaburo replied in a similar tone.
"However, using it to find out Xing Baohua's bottom line can be considered a success," Toyota Nanzhao laughed.
Mitsui Tousaburo stood there dumbfounded. You guys went around in circles, using so much nonsense, just to try and get the other party's bottom line?
3.8 billion! I wonder how much profit Toyota needs to generate to recoup that.
Compared to the capital increase and share expansion, 3.8 billion is still worthwhile.
At least Xing Baohua has returned the money. But if he were to increase capital and expand shares, it might cost more than 3.8 billion yuan, and he still might not be able to earn as much as Xing Baohua under his control.
"Mitsui, find a way to get information about Xing Baohua's reserve funds at Morgan Stanley and HSBC. If the two banks really have more than 5 billion, okay! Toyota will take it on with a 30% premium repurchase."
"Hi!" Mitsui Fujisaburo stood up, gave a half-bow, and left the simple office.
After the meeting, Zhao Shanhai rushed back to the hotel and immediately told Xing Baohua about the contents of the meeting.
After Xing Baohua learned about this, he called executives at both Morgan Stanley and HSBC, suggesting that if anyone in their branches in R were trying to find out about Xing Baohua's account information, he could disclose some of it.
What truly forced Toyota to make a southern relocation was its reserve funds.
With a mix of true and false information, even if you tell the truth, the other party may not believe you and will always need to verify it.
Only after verification will they be able to make a decision: whether to buy or continue trying.
Now we can only wait for news.
What Xing Baohua found amusing was that Zhao Shanhai actually accused him of committing a moral offense and claimed that someone had taken photos and recorded videos of him to threaten him.
It's funny to think about it now.
Xing Baohua was also very curious about who Japan's national goddess was.
Yumiko Araki?
In any case, Xing Baohua couldn't recall such a celebrity.
However, the name does sound familiar.
Where did I see this in a report? It wasn't gossip or entertainment, anyway.
If I remember correctly, I read it in a financial magazine.
I remember now.
