Chapter 213 The Dream of Sharing Fruit Together

All the shareholders of Diamond Group, when they heard Li Changheng talking about the shares, immediately showed dissatisfaction and uneasiness on their faces.

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

If it's just at least money, it's okay to say, but 5% of the shares, it's not much, it's not much.

But this digital card is really uncomfortable.

If Li Changheng only wanted 4.9% of the shares, none of the 7 shareholders present, who are also members of the board of directors, would 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, 7 shareholders plus other small shareholders give 5% together, which means that everyone's shares will be reduced in equal proportions, which makes the shareholders of the board of directors feel even more uncomfortable.

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

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

He hoped that this group of people would transfer 100 million pounds to the bank account that Hobbs passed on through Claire's lawyer with a gamble mentality because of the heartache of the shares.

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

Last night at home on Huayuan Avenue, when Andrew instigated Charles to grab cakes for the two brothers to eat together, Li Changheng had already noticed him.

That's why when I talked with Annie on the phone, I learned that Andrew had left Buckingham Palace last night.

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

Now that there are scattered diamonds in the sewers, that means thieves are much more likely to throw diamonds in the street.

Unbeknownst to him, in the office at this time, Old Aston said to Oliver, "Call Andrew now and tell him to pay him £1 million today."

"Father, we,,".

"Shut up, Oliver," the old Aston said glaringly, "You still lack the ability to make decisions, and any piece of information at this time may determine our current judgment.

If I had agreed to Andrew last night, I might not be in the current predicament. "

Calling Andrew, Oliver's face darkened, and he almost slapped himself and hung up the phone.

Said quickly, "Andrew said that Henry judged yesterday that the diamond was washed into the sewer through the pipeline system of the headquarters.

The Cullinan No. 16 diamond was found in the sewer, and in the mud at the bottom of the sewage channel of the sewer, there are traces left by the dragging of the transport.

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

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

That is to say, the thieves had taken the diamonds ashore yesterday morning, or even in the early hours of the morning, and disappeared by means of transportation.

God, what should we do? "

"Alas", the old Aston sat down on the boss's chair sadly, "What else can I do?"

"Or pay the thieves £100m and hope they know they can't sell the rough diamonds and give us back the diamonds for £100m.

Or put all our hopes on Henry and wait for him to find the diamonds and give him a 5 per cent stake, regardless of whether the thieves will scatter the diamonds in the streets of London. "

After hearing what old Aston said, everyone couldn't help but fell silent with different expressions.

"Show your hands and vote."

It was not so easy for the six shareholders present to decide whether to believe in the thief or Li Changheng.

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

And if the thieves really throw diamonds on the streets of London, the scandal of the diamond theft will not only make us feel embarrassed, even if Henry finds the diamonds, the market value and reputation of the group will plummet.

Our diamond mines in Africa and other places may also face attacks from indigenous people, and they may even be seized in the name of nationalization.

The 100 million pounds are given out, and it is a gamble that the thieves will return the diamonds in good faith.

And the 5% shares that don't need to be given are no less than the value of 100 million.

Second, in case the thieves are dishonest, they can be stabilized first, giving Henry time to catch them.

As long as people catch it, the diamond and the 100 million pounds can be returned to us together.

As for whether the 100 million insurance money should be returned to Sinclair Insurance after the diamond is recovered, I think we can discuss it with Henry. "

Hearing that the diamonds and money can be recovered together, and the old Aston hinted that everyone would share the 100 million together, the eyes of the six shareholders lit up.

They looked at each other, and easily saw the ecstatic expression in each other's eyes.

"Should we ask Henry Lee to pay us the 35 million pounds he promised last night, as his deposit and his promise to recover the diamond and catch the thief?"

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

The old man looked at the clock in the office, and it was only half an hour away from the hour given by the thief.

"Oliver, go and call the bank and get them ready to transfer the money." After speaking, the old Aston nodded to the shareholders.

After Li Changheng entered the office again, after listening to a shareholder.

He couldn't help squinting his eyes and said, "You want to make sure, no problem."

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

This requires no one can say no to it, after all, it is 35 million pounds.

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

"A copy of the 2.1% share transfer letter given by the seven of you, signed and stamped, and my 35 million pounds will be transferred to your account in UBS.

This contract is handed over to me for signature, and the contract becomes effective.

Afterwards, I retrieved the diamonds, and when I got a 5% share reward, I would sell 2.1% of the shares back to you.

The money you paid for the shares was also 35 million pounds.

Then the same amount of money will be transferred to your account at UBS again.

It 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 bonus share is simply reduced from 5% to 2.9%.

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

0.5% of 35 million pounds is only 175,000 pounds, but if the reward shares are directly reduced to 2.9%, it means that the 7 shareholders present will be taken advantage of by those small shareholders who cannot enter the board of directors.

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

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

"No problem." Of course, Li Changheng was eager to transfer money several times in such a tedious manner.

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

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

Moreover, the 5 million pounds transferred to UBS twice successively can also avoid tax.
