Chapter 819: Picking Peaches Directly

The sudden sound immediately attracted the attention of the three people, especially Roland Kadoorie.

However, when he saw the appearance of the person who came, Roland Kadoorie's face suddenly changed. The anger in his chest shot up, and his face turned red, obviously extremely angry.

The man chuckled lightly and said, 'I'm really sorry. I really didn't mean to eavesdrop, but you were talking so loudly that I heard you when I passed by the door. I felt that you were talking about me, so I took the liberty of pushing the door open and coming in. I'm really sorry!'

'Mr. Wang, we were waiting for you. If you didn't come, I would have to send someone to find you,'

said Baker Jerry with a smile as he got up, walked over to Wang Qi, shook his hand, and adopted a very friendly attitude.

Yes, the man was Wang Qi, the general manager of Jiuding Securities!

No wonder that Roland Kadoorie's face turned pale when he saw Wang Qi. The two were direct rivals, and they had been fighting fiercely in the stock market in recent days.

But now this enemy had walked into the meeting room and would replace him as the company's chairman of the board.

This scene was so familiar. Not long ago, he had just experienced a similar scene, and it was at the Shangjiang Hotel Group.

It was just that this kind of humiliation had happened once, but now it had happened a second time. How could Roland Kadoorie not be angry?

This is outrageous!

"It's you again!'

Roland Kadoorie gritted his teeth and his face was extremely hideous.

Wang Qi laughed lightly, 'Mr. Kadoorie, how have you been?'

'Do you think I am qualified to be the chairman of the board of directors of Baoyuan Investment Company?'

Without waiting for a reply, Wang Qi walked over to Walker Marion, shook his hand and said hello, 'Mr. Marion, hello, I am Wang Qi, it is an honour to meet you!'

Walker Marion's face was full of a smile, and he shook Wang Qi's hand warmly and said, 'Mr. Wang, it is also my honour to meet you!'

Walker Marion had not had contact with Wang Qi before, but he had long known of Wang Qi. After all, Wang Qi was the general manager of Xiangjiang First Securities Company. As a practitioner in the financial industry, how could Walker Marion not know who Wang Qi was?

It can be said that Wang Qi is the master of the Jiuding consortium, the right-hand man of the stock god Xia Yu, and a figure who can make the Xiangjiang financial market tremble with just a single footstep.

Roland Kadoorie's ability to become the chairman of the board of directors of Baoyuan Investment Company as the third shareholder is of course inseparable from the support of the British Schroder Group, which also recognises Roland Kadoorie's abilities.

Although Kadoorie is old, knowledgeable, and experienced, and has managed Baoyuan Investment Company successfully, the Schroder Group generally supports him.

But everything is relative.

How can Kadoorie's strength and influence in the financial industry compare to Wang Qi's? How can it compare to Xia Yu, who is behind Wang Qi?

Therefore, when the senior management of Standard Chartered Bank came to the door and said that they wanted to replace Lord Lawrence Kadoorie, the Schroder family initially disagreed.

But when the senior management of Standard Chartered Bank said that they had already belonged to the Jiuding consortium, and that Wang Qi, the general manager of Jiuding Securities, could simultaneously serve as the chairman of the board of directors and president of Baoyuan Investment Company, the Schroder family was immediately tempted.

When they first cooperated with the Kadoorie family, wasn't it because of the strength of the Kadoorie family?

Now they have the overlord of Hong Kong, who is several times more powerful, cooperating with them, and it is the Jiuding consortium, which can be ranked first in the financial industry. Is there still a need to choose?

It took less than a minute to hesitate, and the leader of the Schroder family gave the final approval to cooperate with Standard Chartered Bank.

It was also at that moment that the fate of Roland Kadoorie was sealed.

Seeing Wang Qi and Walker Marion chatting as if they were alone, Roland Kadoorie's anger grew.

But before Roland Kadoorie could explode, he heard Baker Jerry sneer, 'Mr Kadoorie, do you still think we can go wrong with our choice? Everything is for the better development of the company, and you will also benefit from the company's development, won't you?'

Roland Kadoorie took a deep breath to calm himself down, and said his name directly with a cold face: 'Baker Jerry, you don't need to pretend to be kind. Now that I still have my shareholding, can you guarantee that I will still have it in the future?'

Baker Jerry was suddenly choked, and it was clear that Roland Kadoorie had pointed out the truth.

Their original plan was really to get the Kadoorie family out of the way later.

After all, the Kadoorie family only held 20% of the shares. As long as Standard Chartered Bank and the Schroder Group reached an agreement, they could expand their holdings at any time, or use other means to continuously dilute the Kadoorie family's holdings until they were kicked out.

Seeing that Baker Jerry was silent, Lawrence Kadoorie laughed to himself, turned back and looked at Wang Qi. The two men locked eyes, their gazes intertwined with murderous intent.

Roland Kadoorie suppressed his anger and said with clenched teeth, 'Mr Wang, congratulations on your victory! But don't get too happy just yet!'

After saying this, Roland Kadoorie simply waved his sleeve and left.

The matter was already a foregone conclusion, and there was no point in lingering any longer. It would only make him lose control of his emotions, so it was better to seize the time to salvage some losses.

With the odd man gone, the mood in the small meeting room suddenly warmed up, and Walker Marion and the other two chatted with each other, laughing and joking.

However, after just a few brief words, Wang Qi interrupted the warming conversation, apologising, 'I'll buy you both coffee later, but for now, let's go finish up first, so as not to disappoint our chairman.'

'Yes, Mr Marion, we still need to spend a few minutes on this,'

Baker Jerry said to Walker Marion.

Walker Marion had long since known the orders of the group and smiled knowingly: 'I think Rowlands Kadoorie is already giving orders, let's go over there together.'

After saying this, the three of them left together.

In a short while, the three of them arrived at the office where they had previously met Rowlands Kadoorie. Sure enough, he was busy giving orders to the department manager, Harun Cyril.

When he saw Wang Qi and the other two people coming over, Rowlands Kadoorie's face changed, and he thought to himself, 'Oh no.

Sure enough, Baker Jerry simply walked past Kadoorie and said to the department manager, Cyril Harron: 'Cyril, what are you going to do?'

Cyril Harron, of course, saw Wang Qi, and his face immediately changed. But in the face of the question from company director Baker Jerry, he subconsciously answered: 'The president told me to print the contract to transfer the equity of the acquired China Power Company to Kadoorie & Sons Limited.'

In fact, the president could make a decision like this with a word, not to mention that the acquisition of the shares of China Power Company was something that he had been ordered to do by Roland Kadoorie.

However, after he had said this, Roland Kadoorie's face changed again.

Sure enough, what he was afraid of had happened. He saw Beck Jerry give Roland Kadoorie a glance that looked like a smile, and then he commanded Harun Cyril, 'Harun, the contract can be drafted, but the acquiring party has to be written as Jiuding Securities Company!'

Haren Cyril was stunned, and subconsciously looked at Wang Qi, the general manager of Jiuding Securities, who was standing between the two of them, and then looked at Lawrence Kadoorie.

We are still competing with Jiuding Securities! How can we sell the acquired equity to our enemy in the blink of an eye?

Haren Cyril was confused!

He saw that Lord Kadoorie finally exploded and growled at Baker Jerry, 'Baker Jerry, don't go too far! I originally bought this stake, but just let the company hold it for me!'

'Harlan, write according to my previous order,' growled Lord Kadoorie, holding onto the last shred of hope as he gave instructions to Harlan Cyril.

But Baker Jerry once again played the villain and said directly to Lawrence Kadoorie: 'Mr. Kadoorie, don't forget that you are no longer the chairman of the board of directors, Mr. Wang Qi is. We have just discussed and decided that Mr. Wang Qi will also serve as the company's CEO.'

Baker Jerry instructed Harun Cyril: 'Harun, without Mr. Wang Qi's signature, no company property may be traded!'

This time, Harun Cyril finally understood what was going on. He was shocked, but he could only nod in agreement. He looked at Rowlands Kadoorie with a strange and complex expression in his eyes, as if he were feeling pity, emotion, and helplessness...

Seeing that Baker Jerry had destroyed his last plan to save the company with just a few words, Rowlands Kadoorie could no longer hold back.

His blood rushed to his head, his whole body went dark, and he passed out.

Fortunately, Harun Cyril was quick and deft, and immediately helped him up, otherwise Roland Kadoorie would have been in danger of falling to the ground.

But even though he was helped up, Beck Jerry and the others also changed expression, fearing that there might be a fatality in the company, and immediately had someone call an ambulance.
