Chapter 839 Sowing discord
Zhou Qi nodded gently and admitted: "Yes. Except for Tradeway, my shareholding ratio in the other three companies exceeds 30%.
Judging from the shares, I have more than Mr. Huo, and can be said to be the second largest shareholder of the Huo family.
Therefore, in terms of status, I am now on par with Mr. Huo; from the perspective of the company, I may even surpass you. "
Huo Yongwei's face was distorted with anger. He didn't expect that the young man in front of him would dare to provoke him like this.
Zhou Qi smiled and looked directly into Huo Yongwei's eyes, his tone calm but firm: "I just want to ask you for a favor, this is actually helping you."
"As long as you are willing to sell me all the shares you have, I can pay you in cash," Zhou Qi added.
Hearing this, Huo Yongwei couldn't help but sneered:
"Help? Give you all the shares? You are daydreaming! Do you think you can easily defeat our Huo family?"
“No matter what tricks you play in the stock market, even if you can acquire more than 30% of the shares, it is impossible to completely defeat the Huo family.
Once a business war breaks out, it will be a life-and-death battle. Even with the support of the Li family, our Huo family will fight to the end, and the outcome is still undecided.
I suggest you not to act rashly and sell your shares immediately."
Before he could finish, Zhou Qi interrupted him and asked, "What else? What do you want to do?"
Then he continued: "It seems that you don't really understand the current situation, and you don't know anything about the true situation of the Huo family.
It is an undeniable fact that as a shareholder, you are marginalized. Just like when you called to inquire about the company's situation just now, the answer you got was unclear, right? "
These words left Huo Yongwei speechless. He had just tried to understand the company's situation over the phone, but received a vague response. Zhou Qi saw all of this and it was exactly what he wanted.
"Perhaps your brother is not as prepared to fight to the death as you are. Instead, he may be planning how to make you bear all the responsibilities." Zhou Qi continued.
Huo Yongwei slammed the table, pointed at Zhou Qi and yelled, "Nonsense!"
However, Zhou Qi frankly admitted: "Yes, I am trying to sow discord, but this is also the truth."
The atmosphere in the room froze instantly, and Liang Ranran reminded quietly: "Isn't it bad to admit it directly like this?"
Li Jiaxin looked at Zhou Qi in confusion, not understanding his intention.
Even if it is to sow discord, there is no need to admit it so blatantly.
Zhou Qi smiled slightly and explained:
"The reason why the Huo family got into financial difficulties was because of a turmoil in the Hong Kong stock market. It seems that you are completely unaware of all this. Huo Yongnian has indeed concealed a lot of things."
Although Mr. Huo is not directly involved in the business world, he must have heard of some of the conspiracies and intrigues in the stock market.
In particular, some people have attempted to seek personal gain by suppressing the Hong Kong index, and your Huo family is the mastermind behind this.
You know the result later: the support was successful and the Hong Kong index rebounded. However, the Huo family's funds were trapped in the stock market.
The idea of wanting the Hong Kong Index to fall to more than 6,000 points is almost an unrealistic fantasy.
After hearing this, Huo Yongwei seemed to be frozen. After a moment, he stared at Zhou Qi coldly and said, "This is impossible. You are talking nonsense."
"Just ask Huo Yongnian what the truth is. He lost a lot of money, so let's hear how he explains it." Zhou Qi responded calmly.
"Whether you believe it or not, this is the fact. Your Huo family has also been named by the Hong Kong government because of this, but considering the impact, no action has been taken.
But I guess those generous preferential conditions will no longer be available to the Huo family in the future."
The topic turned to the acquisition. "My offer is a contest of funds. The Huo family is currently short of funds, and I think you will consider mobilizing funds from shareholders and banks.
But if there is an official record, the bank will no longer support you.
Even if I give everything, it is estimated that it will not exceed 10 billion. I must acquire the Huo family. This time, I came here to buy the shares in Mr. Huo's hands, in order to reduce trouble and also to help Mr. Huo. "
"Huo Yongnian has done much more than this without telling you. For example, he secretly transferred the company's funds to the mainland to leave a way out for himself. I believe other shareholders are not aware of this.
In short, if things go wrong, he will throw the company to you and let you bear the responsibility."
The term "taking the blame" confused Huo Yongwei. He had already been shocked by the news about the stock market turmoil, and now there was talk of transferring funds to the mainland, which was simply ridiculous.
However, Zhou Qi did not give him a chance to refute, but directly handed him a stack of documents.
Huo Yongwei took the document and became more and more frightened and angry the more he read it. He almost wanted to burn the contract in front of him to ashes. The document involved cooperation with Zhou Jinsheng, the purchase of raw gold and raw stones, and other matters.
Looking at Huo Yongwei who was shaking with excitement, Zhou Qi said calmly: "Huo Yongnian cooperated with Zhou Jinsheng in the name of the company, but privately purchased raw gold and raw stones in his personal capacity.
Mr. Huo can see that this is a way to siphon off funds, right? Huo Yongnian has quietly transferred the company's funds to his own name."
In fact, Zhou Qi made some adjustments to the contract to make Huo Yongnian's behavior look like he was embezzling company funds.
For a shareholder, this is intolerable.
As a result, the angry Huo Yongwei slammed his fist on the table. Fortunately, the table was strong, otherwise it would have been knocked over by him.
The enormous force conveyed Huo Yongwei's anger at the moment, and he was unwilling to believe it.
However, the contract before us is irrefutable evidence.
Even though he was extremely reluctant, Huo Yongwei had to admit that those signatures were indeed from Huo Yongnian's hand, which meant that the authenticity of these documents was beyond doubt.
So the question is, what is Huo Yongnian planning?
If what Zhou Qi said is true, where did these contracts come from?
Huo Yongwei suppressed his inner turmoil and tried to calm himself down. He looked at Zhou Qi sharply:
"Your purpose is nothing more than to buy my shares. If I don't agree, what will you do?"
Zhou Qi smiled slightly and calmly analyzed the current situation:
"As far as I know, Huo Yongnian is no longer able to pay the money required to complete these contracts. You may wish to calculate how much the liquidated damages are."
"Since these contracts were signed with Zhou Jinsheng in the name of the company, the corresponding debts will naturally be transferred to your company. As one of the shareholders, you cannot escape blame."
"On the contrary, if Huo Yongnian intends to jointly invest with other shareholders to fulfill the contract, once I launch a tender offer, the other group companies will be unable to resist, and your shareholder status will be in jeopardy."
"But I prefer another possibility: the Huo family is unable to fulfill the contract and cannot afford the huge penalty for breach of contract, and I will smoothly take over the Huo family's business.
If you do it right, I'm afraid you, Mr. Huo, won't get any benefit at all."
