Chapter 213: 1 dream of dividing fruit and fruit

All the shareholders of the Diamond Group heard Li Changheng talk about the shares, and their faces suddenly showed dissatisfaction and anxiety.

According to the previous valuation of 1.6 billion pounds, 5% of the shares is 80 million pounds.

It's okay if only the money is at least, but 5% of the shares, if you say it is small, is really not much.

But this digital card is really uncomfortable.

If Li Changheng wanted only 4.9% of the shares, the seven shareholders present and members of the board of directors would not hesitate so much.

But this 5% means that after Li Changheng really becomes a shareholder, he has the right to apply to the board of directors to join the board of directors.

Moreover, the 7 shareholders plus other small shareholders give 5% together, which means that everyone’s shares are reduced by the same ratio, which makes the shareholders of the board of directors even more uncomfortable.

"Henry, give us ten minutes," Old Aston sighed, "You are so smart, you should know that shares are more important than money."

"OK", Li Changheng shrugged as he walked out of the office.

He was anxious that this group of people would be gambled because of the heartache of the shares, and transferred 100 million pounds to the bank account passed by Hobbes through Claire's attorney.

And he really hoped that Andrew would reveal some information to the Diamond Group last night.

At his home on Garden Street last night, Andrew instigated Charles to grab a cake for the brothers, and Li Changheng had already noticed him.

When talking on the phone with Annie, he learned that Andrew had left Buckingham Palace last night.

According to the current situation, Li Changheng hopes Andrew will tell about the diamonds in the sewer.

Since there are scattered diamonds in the sewer, it means that the possibility of thieves throwing diamonds on the street has greatly increased.

But I didn't know that in the office at this time, Old Aston said to Oliver, "Call Andrew now and tell him that 1 million pounds will be paid to him today."

"Father, we...".

"Shut up, Oliver," Old Aston said angrily. "You still lack the ability to make decisions. At this time, any piece of information may determine our current judgment.

If I had promised Andrew directly last night, maybe I would not face the current dilemma. "

The phone call to Andrew, Oliver's face sank, and he almost slapped himself to hang up.

Quickly said, "Andrew said that Henry judged yesterday that the diamond was rushed into the sewer through the pipeline system of the headquarters.

The Cullinan No. 16 diamond was found in the sewer, and there are traces left by the drag of transportation vehicles in the silt at the bottom of the sewage channel of the sewer.

Henry followed this clue and chased the sewer for several kilometers, and finally found traces of the thief landing ashore at the sewage treatment point near Klein Street.

Moreover, the royal family's bodyguard was also in the auto repair shop on Klein Street and found more than a dozen car tires that were found and sold by a group of children.

In other words, the thief had gone ashore with diamonds yesterday morning, or even in the early morning, and disappeared in transportation.

God, what should we do? "

"Oh", old Aston sat sadly on the boss chair, "what else can I do?"

"Why don't you pay 100 million pounds to the thieves, and pray that they know that the rough diamonds cannot be sold in their hands, but for the sake of 100 million pounds, they will return the diamonds to us.

Or put all our hope on Henry, regardless of whether the thief will throw the diamonds on the streets of London, we will wait for him to find the diamonds and give him 5% of the shares. "

After listening to Old Aston's words, everyone couldn't help being silent with different expressions.

"Let's vote by show of hands."

For the six shareholders present, it was not so easy to decide whether to believe in the thief or in Li Changheng.

Old Aston endured a faint tingling heartache, "For us, diamonds are the most important, shares are the second most important, followed by the 100 million pounds that Sinclair paid us.

And if the thief really throws diamonds on the streets of London, the scandal of the theft of diamonds will not only make us look up, even if Henry retrieves the diamonds, the market value and reputation of the group will plummet at the same time,

Our diamond mines in Africa and other places may also be attacked by indigenous peoples, or even seized in the name of nationalization.

Give out this billion pounds, take a chance and gamble, and the thief will return the diamond with credit.

Moreover, the 5% of shares that are not given are no less than the value of 100 million.

Second, if the thief does not speak credit, he can hold them first and give Henry time to catch them.

As long as someone catches it, the diamond and the billion pounds can be returned to us together.

As for whether or not to return the 100 million insurance deposit to Sinclair Insurance Company after the diamond is retrieved, I think we can discuss and discuss with Henry. "

Hearing that diamonds and money can be retrieved together, as well as the old Aston's suggestion that everyone should share the 100 million together, the eyes of the six shareholders brightened.

When they looked at each other, they could easily see the expression of ecstasy in each other's eyes.

"Should we ask Henry Lee to pay us the 35 million pounds he promised last night, as the deposit he gave and retrieve the diamonds to catch the thief's promise?"

When everyone heard this, their eyes were all on Old Aston.

The old man looked at the desk clock in the office. It was only half an hour since the hour given by the thief.

"Oliver, you go call the bank and let them prepare for the transfer." After speaking, Old Aston nodded to the shareholders.

After Li Changheng enters the office again and listens to a shareholder.

He couldn't help squinting his eyes and said, "You want to guarantee it, it's okay."

This immediately made everyone happy, but Li Changheng immediately said, "But since you have benefited, then I have to give myself some assurance, right?"

No one can say anything about this request, after all, this is 35 million pounds.

Old Aston said directly, "What do you want, Henry."

"A copy of the 2.1% share transfer letter from the 7 of you, signed and stamped, and waited for my 35 million pounds to be transferred to your UBS account~lightnovelpub.net~ This contract is handed over I sign and the contract takes effect.

After I retrieved the diamonds, I will sell 2.1% of the shares back to you when I get 5% of the shares.

Your money for buying shares is also 35 million pounds.

Afterwards, the same amount of money will be transferred to your UBS account again.

This means that each of you will receive two transfers of 5 million pounds, or 10 million pounds, in your UBS account.

And I am responsible for the taxes and fees incurred in the process.

Or, the rewarded shares are simply reduced from 5% to 2.9%."

There are two types of stamp duty on the purchase of shares in England, 0.5% for non-wholly-owned and non-controlling acquisitions, and 4% for the other.

0.5% of 35 million pounds is only 175 thousand pounds, but if the rewarded shares drop directly to 2.9%, it is equivalent to the 7 shareholders present, who are taken advantage of by the minority shareholders who cannot enter the board of directors.

And 2.9% is allocated to 7 people, which is 0.414%, which is not a lot in a diamond group with dozens of shareholders.

Therefore, when Li Changheng finished speaking, some people objected, "No, the shares must be sold back to us."

"No problem." Of course, Li Changheng wished to make such a cumbersome transfer several times.

The shares are sold to 7 shareholders and stamp duty is paid, which means that the money is completely legal.

It should not be difficult for each of the seven shareholders to take out the £5 million in the local bank account in London.

Moreover, the five million pounds that have been transferred to UBS twice can also avoid taxation.
