Chapter 483 The Mysterious Shareholder
mmed in response and stepped out. 。Fu Xiaoyao took a bag from the shelf and slung it over her shoulder, following behind him. 。In the elevator, Fu Xiaoyao kept stealing glances at the man beside her...."Of course!" Lu Hanchuan nodded.
Three people sat down and began a discussion about cooperation that lasted for over an hour.
After the meeting, Minister Chen left with a satisfied smile.
In the reception room, besides Qiao Mu and Lisa, there were only Lu Hanchuan and Fu Xiaoyao left.
Fu Xiaoyao twisted her stiff neck, "It's a pleasure to cooperate with someone as astute as President Lu!"
"Me too!" Lu Hanchuan nodded.
This woman is indeed quite capable. During our cooperation talks just now, she spoke without revealing anything and didn't budge an inch on her terms.
No wonder he can manage such an important energy company.
This skill is something Fu Xiaoyao that woman doesn't have.
It seems she's definitely not Fu Xiaoyao.
"Oh, right!" Suddenly remembering something, Fu Xiaoyao took out her phone. "President Lu, since we're now business partners, it wouldn't be inappropriate to exchange contact information, would it"
"Of course!" Lu Hanchuan took the phone, entered his number, and then returned it to her.
Fu Xiaoyao lowered her head slightly, looking at the familiar number on her phone. A cold light flashed in her eyes, but when she looked up again, there was nothing left.
She clicked on Lu Hanchuan's number and dialed it.
Soon, Lu Hanchuan's phone rang.
She hung up the phone again, "Mr. Lu, this is my number, remember to save it."
She swiped her phone.
Lu Hanchuan hummed in response, agreeing.
Fu Xiaoyao put away her phone and stood up, "Alright Mr. Lu, it's almost time for us to leave."
"It's noon just right, why don't I treat you to a meal" Lu Hanchuan also stood up and said, looking at her.
Fu Xiaoyao was stunned for a moment, then smiled seductively, "Lu Zong, can I understand that you're asking me out"
Lu Hanchuan frowned and said in a mild voice: "Miss Shi misunderstood, as a cooperative partner, it's normal for us to invite business partners to dinner."
“Hehehe!” Fu Xiaoyao chuckled twice, “President Lu is really so serious, can’t even tell a joke. Alright, I was wrong. But I won't have dinner, I have to go back to the company for a meeting, so maybe next time Besides, our cooperation has just begun, I will be coming to Lu Corporation often in the future, I’m not afraid that President Lu won’t treat me to a meal!”
"In that case, let's do it next time then, Miss Shi. Farewell." Lu Hanchuan made a polite gesture with a cold expression.
Fu Xiaoyao smiled at him and then turned to walk towards the door.
Looking in the direction they left, Qiao Mu hesitantly asked, “Lu Zong, she really isn’t Mrs.... Fu Xiaoyao”
Lu Hanchuan pursed his thin lips, "It shouldn't be, Fu Xiaoyao isn't that excellent."
This woman, whether in terms of ability, the smoothness of her speech, or the aura she exudes, is absolutely beyond what Fu Xiaoyao could possess.
Furthermore, six years ago, he had seen Fu Xiaoyao's body.
Maybe, Fu Xiaoyao really died.
"I know Fu Xiaoyao isn't as outstanding, but her face looks exactly like Fu Xiaoyao's. Are there really two people in this world who look exactly alike" Qiao Mu doubted.
Anyway, he couldn't accept the fact that someone in the world looked just like him.
"Indeed, in this world, are there really two people who look exactly alike" Lu Hanchuan repeated Qiao Mu's words in a low voice.
Qiao Mu looked at him, "Lu Zong, you still have some doubts about her identity, don't you"
He could tell, although General Lu superficially believed that Shi Yao wasn't his wife.
But in Lu Zong's eyes, there was still a hint of unwillingness.
To be a woman who looks just like the mistress, but isn't the mistress.
Why isn't Lu Zong willing to let go Didn't he already forget his feelings for his wife
Lu Hanchuan didn't know what Qiao Mu was thinking. He didn't deny Qiao Mu's words.
In fact, he still had some doubts.
Although I looked at Wikipedia about Shi Yao last night, it only had a small portion of information. The specific details weren't published on top, and the photos could be changed...
Thinking, Lu Hanchuan narrowed his eyes, "You send someone to check her abroad. She grew up abroad since she was a child, there should be quite a lot of information about her."
Qiao Mu's eyes lit up when she heard this, "Yes, I'll send someone down right away."
"Well, but don't let the Shi family find out," Lu Hanchuan cautioned.
Qiao Mu nodded heavily, "Don't worry, Lu Zong, I know all of it. I'll go now."
"Wait a minute!" Lu Hanchuan called out to him.
Qiao Mu stopped and said, "President Lu, is there anything else"
"Have you found the mysterious shareholder you were looking for" Lu Hanchuan asked in a deep voice.
Five years ago, when he was restructuring the group's equity, he discovered that the number of circulating shares on the market had actually decreased by 5%. It turned out that out of the original 20% of circulating shares, only 15% remained. The other 5% of circulating shares had simply vanished.
Later, he found out that the five percent of shares had been acquired by a mysterious buyer through stock speculation. Not only that, but that buyer also gradually acquired another ten percent of shares from other shareholders in the group. That is to say, the mysterious buyer now held fifteen percent of the company's shares.
The Lu Group is a family business owned by the Lu family. The Lu family holds the most shares, at 50%. The remaining 50% are held by numerous shareholders in the stock market and among dozens of other stockholders.
That is to say, the shares held by these dozens of shareholders are only a few percentage points per person on average, and the most is not more than five percent. Then, the mysterious buyer's 15% stake can be said to be the second largest shareholder of Lu Group.
For this unknown shareholder who has never shown their face, he always kept a high level of vigilance in his heart. After all, being able to acquire so many shares without anyone noticing was enough to show that this was definitely not a simple character. And he didn't know the purpose of this person acquiring Lu's shares, or even whether this person was good or bad.
Thinking about this, Lu Hanchuan felt a bit agitated and couldn't help but tsk, "My head hurts..."
If this person has any grievances against the Lu Group and chooses to sell all their shares at a low price, or use their shares to do something harmful to the Lu Group, then the Lu Group would definitely suffer significant damage.
So for the past five years, he has been trying to find this shareholder, but has failed every time.
Now, many shareholders in the group are reaching retirement age, and the group is about to face a change of ownership. Such an important matter requires all shareholders to attend the general meeting of shareholders.
In order to get that mysterious shareholder to attend as well, he had Qiao Mu increase his search efforts, but it seems like the results are still the same.
As expected, Qiao Mu lowered her head in shame after hearing Lu Hanchuan's question. "Lu Zong, I haven't found him yet. This shareholder is really too mysterious. His annual dividends are all deposited into an account at Citibank, and that card is anonymous, so we can't find out who the cardholder is. And since the card was opened, there has never been a withdrawal record."
That is to say, that card only accepts money, it doesn't pay out any.
With the market value of the Lu Group, plus 15% of the shares, that shareholder's annual dividend would be several billion.
It can be said that the money on that card is at least two or three hundred billion, so rich!
Qiao Mu couldn't help but feel a sour pang.
Lu Hchuan pondered for a moment, "There are still two months left before the shareholders' meeting of Liji Group. Publish this matter."
"What Lu meant is, to let that shareholder see for themselves" Qiao Mu sought confirmation.
"Lu Hankan raised his chin. "That's right, since he acquired so many shares, he would definitely pay attention to the Lu Group at all times. After seeing this, he should attend the shareholders' meeting."
He must make it clear who that mysterious shareholder is, friend or foeao tilted her head 。"It's nothing." 。He actually really wanted to ask her, when she heard him address Qi Ya like that, wasn't her heart also as uncomfortable as his 。But for some reason, I couldn't b...
