HSBC!
Elizabeth was very efficient, calling in two hours to say she had spoken to Shen Pil.
As for how the negotiations would go, that was up to Ye Hao Chen.
So, Ye Hao Chen went directly to HSBC and met with Shen Pil, the bank’s chairman.
“I didn't expect Mr. Ye to be classmates with the Princess,”
Shen Pil examined Ye Hao Chen and then spoke with a smile.
Princess, yes, Elizabeth was the little princess of Great Britain, highly regarded.
“Mr. Shen Pil, have you decided?,”
“Sell me those 90 million shares of Wharf Holdings you have. You can name your price,”
Ye Hao Chen smiled slightly, then went straight to the point.
He had learned from Shen Pil just now that the 90 million shares of Jardine Matheson and Wharf Holdings had not been sold.
However, there was a verbal agreement with Old Li. If it were not for him, it would probably be transferred within the next two days.
Although Wharf Holdings had fallen into decline these years, the 90 million shares still amounted to hundreds of millions.
Old Li was probably also raising money, there weren't many people in Hong Kong who could take out hundreds of millions in cash.
“Mr. Ye has really given me a tough choice,”
A wry smile crossed Shen Pil’s face. If there had been no verbal agreement with Old Li, selling to Ye Hao Chen wouldn't be a big problem.
But now that there was a verbal agreement, it meant breaking his word.
But not selling to Ye Hao Chen would mean offending him, and also the Princess.
He had also immediately called a friend after receiving the call and asked him to check out Ye Hao Chen.
He now knew that the young man in front of him was a financial genius on Wall Street.
“A verbal agreement, nothing signed. Isn’t that right?,”
“As for Bao Ship Wang, I can explain things to Mr. Shen Pil.”
Ye Hao Chen took a sip of coffee, then smiled and said.
“Mr. Ye knows Bao Ship Wang?,”
Shen Pil was slightly startled, then looked at Ye Hao Chen curiously.
He wasn't afraid of offending Old Li, the key was Bao Ship Wang.
After all, Bao Ship Wang had always been a go-between for Old Li.
“I met him at a party some time ago,”
“And you and I are both businessmen, everything is about profit, isn’t that right?,”
“I believe Mr. Shen Pil knows who has more potential between me and Li Jia Cheng,”
Ye Hao Chen slowly put down his cup and then spoke softly.
Shen Pil fell silent, his eyes fixed on Ye Hao Chen’s young face.
Li Jia Cheng was good, but Ye Hao Chen was better.
He was not yet twenty years old and had already earned at least $200 million.
And his friend had told him that given time, Ye Hao Chen would eventually become a financial tycoon.
“Alright, Mr. Ye, you've convinced me,”
“I’ll sell you those 90 million shares for 650 million Hong Kong dollars, how about that?,”
Shen Pil took a deep breath, then smiled and said.
As for Li Jia Cheng, he could only say sorry, who would have thought Ye Hao Chen’s connections were so strong and his potential so great.
“Alright, thank you, Mr. Shen Pil,”
“I will explain things to Bao Ship Wang later.”
Ye Hao Chen also smiled. The price of 650 million was lower than he expected.
He thought he would have to pay 700 million Hong Kong dollars for those 90 million shares.
“It's a deal,”
“If Mr. Ye has any funding problems, HSBC can provide a loan,”
“You can pay in installments over the next year,”
Shen Pil’s eyes flickered slightly, then he continued.
He wanted to make friends with Ye Hao Chen, so he didn’t mind giving him a little favor.
Hearing this, Ye Yong Hao was startled, then said in a deep voice, “Thank you, Mr. Shen Pil.”
He only had $30 million left, there was indeed a funding gap.
The Ye family was worth at most $100 million, but it was still not enough.
And he didn't want to touch his overseas money. It was best that Shen Pil allowed him to pay in installments.
The rest was simple. The contract was quickly printed out, and both of them signed their names.
Ye Hao Chen paid 200 million Hong Kong dollars as a down payment, with the remaining 450 million to be paid in installments over the next year.
........
On top of Victoria Peak, at Li’s luxurious mansion, Li Jia Cheng received the call and his face turned dark.
His eldest son, Li Ze Ju, looked at his father in confusion, not knowing what was going on.
“Shen Pil sold those 90 million shares of Wharf Holdings to someone else.”
After hanging up the phone, Li Jia Cheng said in a deep voice, but his face was still very ugly.
Hearing this, Li Ze Ju’s expression also changed. Although he was only in his teens, he was very mature and knew about his father's business dealings.
He had been raising money for those 90 million shares of Wharf Holdings for a long time.
Shen Pil, the chairman, had promised to sell it to his father, how could he change his mind now.
Li Jia Cheng let out a sigh, feeling extremely unwilling. He didn't expect a dark horse to appear out of nowhere.
Shen Pil had just told him on the phone that he had sold the 90 million shares of Wharf Holdings to Ye Hao Chen, and had also told him his identity.
He did know the Ye family, as the Ye family's food company had made the newspapers a while back.
He had been running around trying to raise money for those 90 million shares of Wharf Holdings, and now he was being undercut.
And Shen Pil had also told him that someone important from Great Britain had called, so he had no choice.
“The Ye family, Ye Hao Chen...”
Li Jia Cheng’s eyes narrowed slightly. The Ye family was not simple, and then there was this second son of the family.
Even if he was not willing to accept it, there was nothing he could do about it now. Wharf Holdings was out of the question, the plan was ruined.
Money, in the end, was still money. If he had had no problem with funding, he would have already acquired Wharf Holdings.
He was simply outmatched.
At the same time, Bao Ship Wang received a call from Shen Pil, and not long after that, Ye Hao Chen also called Bao Ship Wang.
Bao Ship Wang was also very moved. He had never thought that the young man he had just met would actually undercut Li Jia Cheng.
