At around nine o'clock in the morning, Kahn, the major shareholder and chairman of the Telegraph and Telephone Company, came to the teahouse.
He did not deliberately hide anything about this trip. When he went out, he explained that this trip was to meet the real person in charge of Huasheng, which also attracted a lot of attention.
Anyone with a discerning eye will understand at a glance that the battle for the telephone company's equity is about to come to an end, and who will win will depend on today's negotiations.
Moreover, no matter what the outcome of their negotiations today is, the stock price will definitely fall back. This also makes many people rush to the stock exchange as soon as they get the news. No one wants to stand at the top and look down on all living beings.
But more people have set their sights on Kahn's destination this time, this seemingly inconspicuous three-story teahouse.
This teahouse doesn't even have a name. There is a plaque written by someone who doesn't know who is hanging on the lintel, with only the word "teahouse" on it.
The reason why it attracts so much attention is that they are too interested in the people behind Huasheng.
Several companies in Huasheng only have foreign professional managers who appear to the public. Although Li Heng has not deliberately concealed himself, because he rarely goes to these companies, the reporters who guard there have never
He has been photographed, which also makes those people who can't reach the upper level really curious about him.
On the other hand, the little girl's assistant Ren Wenjing was in the newspapers many times because she often traveled to and from these companies. Unfortunately, no reporter could get even a few words out of her mouth.
Today's reporters have relatively good professional ethics and do not give random names to assistant Ren. Basically, they all agree that she should be a secretary or assistant to a senior executive in Huasheng.
Today I finally had the opportunity to meet the reporters in Washington. These reporters rushed over like cats smelling fish.
You can enter the tea house casually for 20 cents per person, and you will get a cup of tea for free, with unlimited refills, and you can also listen to storytelling, ditties and the like. It is really not expensive. If you are hungry, there are various snacks here and you will need something to eat.
Pay separately.
A lot of reporters came in, both on the first and second floors, but everyone who came in was dumbfounded. They thought they would be on the third floor, and they wouldn't be allowed to go up easily. But what they didn't expect was that they even led to the third floor.
The stairs to the building were nowhere to be found, but they clearly saw Kahn coming in through the front door with his entourage. How come they couldn't find it because of the strength of his front and back legs?
"Ah Guang, I just looked in the bathroom. There must be another layer above that is fine. There are pipes for water supply and drainage."
"Aren't you talking nonsense? Who doesn't know that there is another layer above? The key is where to get up?"
"Do you think we can hear noises from the water pipes? Ah Guang, Ah Guang, what are you looking at?"
While the person here was talking, he noticed that his colleague was staring at the other side and didn't know what he was looking at. Seeing this, he turned his head and followed A Guang's gaze.
It was a private room on the second floor. The door had been closed just now. They heard someone talking inside, so they didn't dare to open the door to look. At this time, the door opened a crack, and they could just see into the room.
Looking from their angle, they could only see two powerful-looking young men sitting against the wall. Nothing else could be seen. After taking one look, this man withdrew his head and raised his hand to take a picture.
Pat Aguang's shoulder.
"Hey, what are you looking at? Do you hear me talking to you?"
"Ah?" Ah Guang came to his senses after being photographed. He glanced at the room diagonally opposite again, and then lowered his voice and said, "Ah Cai, let's go."
"Why are you leaving? We paid money to come in. We didn't get any news. The team leader won't reimburse us when we go back."
"If you don't reimburse, don't reimburse. Do you know who was in that room just now?"
"Who is it?" Ah Cai asked as he turned his head and glanced at the room. The door was already closed.
"If I'm not mistaken, the one sitting against the wall just now has slightly longer hair..."
"Well, I just saw it, what happened? Who is he?"
"He's from Hengyi Club, and he's also a group leader."
"how do you know?"
"He is also from our Nanwan Village. The last time I went back, I listened to what my third uncle said. He said that Anan is now the team leader of Hengyi Society. He has more than 20 people under him and can earn more than 300 yuan a month.
money."
"So much?" Ah Cai may not have paid attention to the other words, but he really heard the last number.
"Oh, isn't it right? What are the people from the Hengyi Society doing here? So early in the morning?" Suddenly he realized something was wrong again.
"When I passed by that door just now, I heard that there were at least five or six people inside."
"Yes, I heard it too." A Guang nodded and agreed.
After finishing speaking, the two looked at each other, and both could see the fire of gossip that had begun to burn in each other's eyes.
But what A Guang said next quickly extinguished the small flame.
"Come on, Ah Cai, it's better not to make those messy ideas. If you guessed correctly, the stairs to the third floor should be in that room. My fellow villager may be the guard there. If you want to do anything else, please don't do it.
Don't hold me back."
Having said this, Aguang picked up the tea cup on the table and drank it all, then put on his bag and stood up: "Do you want to follow me or stay here? I don't want to get into any trouble for a piece of bad news.
"
Ah Cai hesitated for a moment, then turned to look at the room that had closed the door, and said with some reluctance: "There's no need to leave, we can't go there, can't we just sit here and drink tea? We've already paid for it.
"
"Then you keep drinking, I'll take the first step." After saying that, Aguang turned around and walked towards the stairs without any hesitation.
"Hey, wait for me, why did you just leave?" Ah Cai was a little panicked when he saw this. He didn't even bother to drink the tea, and hugged his bag and chased after him.
…
third floor
Today, a round table was set up in the open space on the third floor. Li Heng set it up specifically to entertain Kahn.
At this moment, Kahn and the two people who came with him were sitting on one side of the round table, listening carefully to what the young man on the other side said.
"Kahn, I won't say anything more. Just take yesterday's closing price as the standard. I will take over all the shares in your and Kaili's hands."
Carey is another shareholder of the Telegraph and Telephone Company. He is not here today. That guy is related to Kahn. He has given full authority to Kahn for this negotiation.
Yesterday's closing price?
Kahn felt relieved after hearing this. The price was acceptable to both him and Carey, and he didn't want to continue to struggle, especially since the governor called him again last night and talked about what if Huasheng would take over the company.
, prepared to invest money in assuming more communication lines, and asked him if he could do the same.
Doesn't this clearly tell him that you can give up the company?
