Chapter 594: Chapter 594
Tang Sili hurriedly said, "Anything is fine."
Xiao Yebai had assumed that this surgical professor would modestly refuse, but that was not the response.
Zhang Sanfeng turned around, glancing once more at Xiao Yebai’s face.
Clearly, Xiao Yebai had read the meaning in his eyes, and wondered whether it was appropriate to speak these words in front of Tang Sili. In response, Xiao Yebai shrugged his shoulders, indicating his usual disregard. Read complete versıon only at 𝘯𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭•𝘧𝘪𝘳𝘦•𝘯𝘦𝘵
Even a person like Zhang Sanfeng had begun to question Tang Sili’s intentions. It was evident that the surgical professor possessed a kind of threatening instinct.
Xiao Yebai recalled the phone call from the chief justice earlier, reconsidering whether he should ask the chief justice to simply promote Tang Sili to vice president.
It felt, somehow, more interesting that way.
Thus, as Tang Sili was pouring his own tea, he suddenly felt a chill, realizing that only his boss beside him was capable of such an aura.
Returning to business, SUNV, the financial company intent on acquiring Changda, what exactly was its background?
According to SUNV’s official website, the company had a history of a hundred years. It had always been obscure, almost entirely unknown to everyone, as if people were hearing of this company for the first time, if not for its attempt to acquire Changda.
In reality, though, with a bit more in-depth research, people would discover that this company had been involved many times in the capital operations of mergers and acquisitions between large companies. This was also mentioned on the official website. However, in those previous capital operations, the company seemed to have played only an auxiliary and catalyzing role, and not as a leader.
If this background information was true, SUNV’s acquisition of Changda could not be considered impromptu or coincidental. As the saying goes, capital seeks profit, and SUNV seemed to adhere to this principle as well. The catalyst for this acquisition stemmed from Changda’s recent stock issuance combined with a poor domestic and international environment, which resulted in the majority of domestic stocks listed overseas being severely undervalued.
At that time, for a period, Changda’s stock price had remained below the normal valuation level, which was when SUNV began to secretly purchase Changda’s stocks through various channels.
The problem was that the majority of Changda’s shares were held in the hands of Xiao Jianming and other senior executives of Changda. To truly achieve a controlling interest, it was nearly impossible for SUNV unless they colluded with certain insiders of Changda. It could only be said that SUNV had long targeted Changda as a profitable venture.
Now, mounting a counterattack was easier said than done. Since SUNV’s interference, Changda’s stock values had increased. The current stock price of Changda was three times its lowest value.
Even if Xiao Shumei and others wanted to help their father wrestle control during this tumultuous time, acquiring Changda’s stocks at such high prices would require a substantial amount of capital, something Changda Group itself could definitely not afford alone, necessitating the need to rally greater financial forces. Moreover, it was hard to calculate how many directors holding significant shares inside Changda could still be trusted, especially with precedents like Kang Junjia making them wary.
It’s the same old saying, capital is profit-seeking, whoever has more money and power is where capital will flow. By this standard, most shareholders of Changda seemed indifferent to the foreign capital’s involvement in the acquisition of Changda’s shares.
As one ordinary shareholder with shares in Changda being interviewed on the street by the media put it, "The little stock I hold can’t play any decisive role; after all, it doesn’t matter who’s in charge. From what I see, the increase in Changda’s stock price benefits my returns."
