Siheyuan: I am Jia Dongxu's cousin

"Bang..." Niu Bijian angrily slammed the conference table and asked the managers present: "Can anyone explain to me why you haven't acquired any shares in a week?"

Seeing no one answering, Niu Bijian shouted, "Speak! Are you all mute?"

Under Niu Bijian's pressure, the marketing manager stood up carefully and replied, "Manager, according to the speculation of our marketing technicians, except for some retail investors who insist on not selling, there may be no more shares for us to exchange."

"What did you say? No more shares." Niu Bijian quickly heard another meaning from the marketing manager's words: another company had entered the market.

They had already done some investigation when they decided to exchange shares. Zhou Xinian only held 22% of the shares of the Dairy Farm Company. Even if he repurchased some of them now, it would not exceed 36% at most. By this calculation, there were still at least 23% of the shares in circulation in the market.

And those retail investors only hold 5% at most, so...

The more Niu Bijian thought about it, the more aggrieved he felt. If this mysterious person who entered the market supported Zhou Xinian, then all their previous efforts in Hutchison Whampoa would be in vain. This classic acquisition case might even become a laughing stock in the entire Hong Kong Island.

Thinking of this, Niu Bijian immediately asked the marketing manager: "Do you know which company entered the market? How many shares do they have? What does the other party want? Was it Zhou Xinian who did it?"

Niu Bijian's continuous questions made the marketing manager stunned for a moment, and then he replied with a bitter face: "I'm sorry, manager, we can't find any information about the other party."

"But according to our analysis, the other party should not be on Zhou Xinian's side, otherwise they would have stood up to support the other party long ago."

Niu Bijian thought for a moment, then breathed a sigh of relief, "Huh... As long as they don't support Zhou Xinian, we still have hope."

Niu Bijian was full of aura and said to a group of executives: "I don't care what method you use, I will give you three days, and you must find the mysterious shareholder within three days."

Seeing the death order from Niu Bijian, a group of senior managers walked out of the meeting room like bitter gourds.

Soon, the executives began to play their roles and kept looking for the mysterious shareholder.

Marketing Manager: "Please, Pierce, tell me quickly if you have any news."

PR Manager: Brother Wang, please, I will personally host the party and we will go to heaven on earth.”

Marketing Manager: "Check them all. Whoever can find this mysterious shareholder within three days will be promoted three levels."

Managers from various departments tried their best to find the shareholder behind the scenes.

Soon Zhou Xinian also received the news.

"Hahahahaha!!"

"I just want to say that I, Zhou Xinian, still have people who share the same ideals as me!"

But Zhou Xinian quickly realized, "Oh no, the other party may not be on our side."

Zhou Xinian had a preconceived idea before, thinking that since the other party had not exchanged shares with Hutchison Whampoa for such a long time, they must support his side. But when Zhou Xinian came to his senses, he found that the other party might also want to make a profit from this.

"No, we can't let them join the Landlord!"

Zhou Xinian picked up his pen again, intending to use his literary talent to convince the other party.

HSBC headquarters, inside William's office.

"What a good trick!" William couldn't help but say after listening to his subordinates' report.

Niu Bijian had called him before, and all he wanted to ask about was the mysterious shareholder. William certainly couldn't reveal Zhang Weiguo's identity, so he had to fool the guy and asked his men to keep it strictly confidential.

However, William had a vague feeling that the person who would benefit the most from this dispute over the milk company would probably be Zhang Weiguo.

Inside the office of the Flower Planting Group.

Lin Qing held today's newspaper and asked, "Boss Land has already mobilized people to look for us. When should we show up?"

"No rush, it's not the time yet. We have to wait until Niu Bijian can't hold on any longer." Zhang Weiguo said with a smile.

Indeed! There is still one week left before the deadline for the Hong Kong Land share swap. Niu Bijian still has time, but what if it takes a few more days?

At that time, it was not a question of whether Niu Bijian paid the money or not, but the other party begging Zhang Weiguo to sell the stocks.

Otherwise, this exchange by Swire will end in failure, and the shares previously invested by Swire will most likely be wasted.

Moreover, Zhou Xinian, who continues to control the milk company, will definitely not let Swire Properties have an easy time, and the milk company owned by the other party will be taken back by Zhou Xinian using various means.

While Zhang Weiguo was leisurely drinking tea and watching the battle of Jardine Matheson Milk, Niu Bijian in Jardine Matheson was extremely agitated.

"Waste, a bunch of waste!" Niu Bijian threw the documents handed over by his secretary Xiao Lin onto the table and cursed at the senior executives standing in front of him.

"There is only one week left before the deadline for our acquisition. I'll give you five days. If you still can't find the information of that mysterious shareholder, get out of here!" Niu Bijian roared.

"Go find it for me, what are you standing here for!" Niu Bijian looked at the people who were still standing there, picked up the documents on the table and threw them over angrily.

Everyone quickly turned around and walked out.

Just when Niu Bijian was furious, the board of directors called and asked him to come over immediately.

"Hu...Hu..." Niu Bijian took a few deep breaths and tried hard to suppress his anger.

A few minutes later, with the help of his assistant, Niu Bijian straightened his clothes and walked quickly into the meeting room where the directors were.

After a moment, Niu Bijian pushed open the door.

As soon as Niu Bijian entered the door, a director started to make trouble.

"Niu Bijian, what did you promise us at the beginning? What about now?"

"I..." Niu Bijian wanted to defend himself, but found that he really had nothing to say.

Seeing that Niu Pikin did not refute, the director became more excited and continued to attack: "What is the situation now? The whole of Hong Kong Island is saying that our exchange purchase will fail and our share price will fall."

This is probably the reason why these directors found Niu Bijian and the stock price fell.

In fact, the directors don’t care whether the dairy company’s acquisition is successful or not.

As long as the stock price keeps going up, it doesn't matter if you fail.

But once the stock price drops, you must give them an explanation, because this is related to their vital interests!

"Huh..." Niu Bijian tried to calm himself down and explained to the directors, "It was my mistake this time. I didn't realize there was a mysterious shareholder entering the market. The other party is very mysterious and we have not been able to find out his identity."

"As long as we can get the shares from the other party, our acquisition of the milk company will be a success."

After hearing what Niu Bijian said, an anxious director said, "Why don't you contact the other party as soon as possible?"

Niu Bijian smiled bitterly: "We can't get any information from him. He is too mysterious."

"This..." Many shareholders were also dumbfounded. This wouldn't work. If they didn't find that shareholder, they would be the ones who would suffer the loss.

So everyone put pressure on Niu Bijian again: "Niu Bijian, we don't care what method you use, stealing, kidnapping, investigation, bribery, etc., we must see the share price of Hongdi rise in a week."

"This..." Niu Bijian gritted his teeth and nodded in agreement.

Compared to Niu Bijian who was under great pressure, Zhang Weiguo was in a very good mood at this time.

Under Lin Qing's massage, Zhang Weiguo looked at the search information published by Niu Bijian in the newspaper today, nodded and chuckled.
