Li Du wanted to say that it would be embarrassing to step on a horse.
He looked at Callistan, who was smiling stagnantly, and Cole, who was smiling, and then sat back in his seat leisurely.
Now he can sit back and watch as Cole and Callestan fight.
Li Du remembers Aubrey Teutonic. He is an immigrant from the UK. He is about forty-five or sixteen years old. He likes to squint his eyes and talk. He is an investor, and the Harry Winston Group is his Biggest investment.
The reason why I remember this person very clearly is because when Li Du and Karestan had a conflict last time, many shareholders helped Karestan to suppress him.
Among them, Aubrey Teuton was particularly active, and he was regarded as the core figure in the Kalestan camp.
Now the core figure has turned his back on him, and at the critical moment, he gave Callestan a bad knife.
Li Du could see that Aubrey Teuton was a hidden line that Cole had buried in the Callestan camp. Obviously, the battle between the two sides had already begun.
This is a bit like a spy war drama and a palace drama. Li Du pondered while watching it, relishing it.
When Aubrey Teutonic spoke like this, some shareholders who had been forced by Callestan to stand on his side shut up, and their eyes became intriguing.
Shareholders have been following Callestan because they believe that Callestan is stronger and more powerful, and has more say in the Harry-Winston Group.
Now that they found that Callestan was in a bad situation, they were not in a hurry to express their opinion.
Like Li Du's purpose, they also chose to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight.
Cole holds an absolute stake in the Winston Group, but he is considered by shareholders to be short-sighted and weak.
Although Callistan looks gentle and always smiles with his rimless glasses, but he has a tough style of doing things, more like a leader.
The most important thing is that Cole has a lot of equity, but it is only limited to the immortal Hai Rui-Winston Group.
Callestan's Fitz family has more energy. They are a large family on the east coast of the United States. They have always been engaged in the mining and gem industries, and they have wider contacts and more channels in the upper class.
His family background has brought him a lot of credit, but that is a bonus, and the foundation and fundamentals are still his shares.
If he didn't have shares in the Harry Winston Group, the shareholders still wouldn't support him.
In the final analysis, they are sitting here because they are all shareholders of the Harry-Winston Group, and their interests are all tied to the Winston Group.
Now, Callestan looks set to be forced to trade his stake.
It is clearly written in the contract that if Li Du finds a diamond mine with a storage capacity of one million carats, Callestan will sell the 14 units in his hands at a market price of 12 million US dollars per unit. shares.
The diamond mine Li Du found is rich in content, estimated to be two million carats, which is quite satisfactory or even low for diamond mines in South Africa.
But it is already considered a bonanza, and it is no problem to use it to complete the contract.
Callestan couldn't stop laughing, he found that he had no helper, and suddenly Cole had a helper by his side.
This scene made Li Du vigilant. Cole is not as mediocre as he looks. On the contrary, Cole may have a mediocre business acumen in the jewelry industry, but he is a master when it comes to tactics and company politics.
Cole pressed hard and let Callestan complete the contract.
Callestan had no choice but to use the dragging formula.
He said: "The contract deadline is the end of this year, and it will not start to have legal effect until then. I have to continue to observe Li's diamond mine. Is this a reasonable request, everyone?"
The eight shareholders looked at each other, and finally had to come out to stand on the platform.
Someone said vaguely: "According to the contract, this requirement is acceptable."
"Yes, after all, it is a contract involving a huge amount of 100 to 200 million. There is no rush for this kind of thing. Let's talk to a lawyer."
Cole was helpless. He looked at Li Du, and Li Du shrugged nonchalantly and said, "Okay, let's wait for the lawyer to talk. Everyone, please keep the contract. I have a lot of confidence in my mine anyway."
It doesn't matter if the transaction is done later, Li Du has no energy to deal with the equity change during this time, and he has to prepare for the upcoming engagement party.
Unlike buying shares in the past, it was very difficult for him to get the shares smoothly. Even at the end of the year, he knew that Callestan would make every effort to hinder him, and even find someone to obstruct it.
The equity in Carlestan's hands is very valuable. The Hai Rui-Winston Group is about to recover and usher in better development opportunities. It is inevitable that the market value will increase significantly.
In the agreement between him and Li Du, one unit of equity was only 12 million, which was the market price at that time. At that time, Harry Winston had just stabilized and had not yet launched the Opal series of jewelry.
Today, Harry Winston launched new popular jewelry one after another, and began to lead the new trend. The market value increased greatly, and one unit of equity sold for 20 million was accepted by some people.
So why would Callestan willingly sell his shares at a low price? Moreover, Li Du also discovered a diamond mine, which serves Harry Winston. In this way, the market value of the Harry Winston Group will continue to increase in the future.
However, Callestan would at most disgust Li Du and Cole, or delay to make them feel uncomfortable. The deal will definitely take shape in the end, because they have a contract in hand.
Li Du likes this aspect of the United States very much. The laws are enacted and must be obeyed.
Cole's main purpose of holding this shareholding meeting was to facilitate the change of shareholding. Since the goal was not achieved, the meeting was meaningless.
After chatting briefly about some company development plans, Cole announced the adjournment of the meeting, and then left Li Du for a deep chat.
But before that, Callestan contacted Cole in a low-key manner, and the two of them went to the office to have a private chat for a while.
Li Du didn't know what the two of them were going to do, so he released little flying insects to monitor, but unfortunately the little flying insects could only watch but not listen.
He saw Callestan show Cole something on his mobile phone, Cole frowned after reading it, and tapped the table with his fingers.
After Callestan left, Cole's secretary found Li Du and asked him to see Cole.
After entering the office, Cole poured a glass of red wine for Li Du, and said, "The good stuff from Boston Manor has a special flavor, try it?"
Li Du took a sip, shook his head and said, "I lack taste in red wine. In this regard, I still need to receive more influence and learn more things."
Cole smiled and said, "Let it take its course, you will love it. Also, what do you think of Callestan's equity? Do you want to change the plan? It seems that he doesn't want to give up these equity."
Li Du put down his wine glass and said firmly: "I want his equity, otherwise, I won't use the diamond mine as the group's warehouse, because there is no need for that."
He didn't know what Carlestan and Cole talked about before, which changed Cole's position.
Anyway, his position will not change, and Cole had better not change, otherwise Li Du will use other methods to get back what belongs to him.
