Chapter 756: Chapter 289: Inviting Yang Chen to Acquire Penguin Technology Equity_6

The two of them arrived at the LV Store.

Yang Chen didn’t reveal his identity and quietly waited in the rest area while Maya shopped for clothes.

After a while, he received an unknown phone call.

Yang Chen answered the call with a "Hello."

The caller immediately said, "Hello, Mr. Yang, sorry to bother you at this time. This is Zhang Hongbo, the branch manager of the Shanghang Gongji Road Branch, we met this afternoon."

Yang Chen: "Oh. Is there something you need?"

Zhang Hongbo: "Yes, our bank governor Gu Ming would like to meet with you. He happens to be in Hai City attending a financial summit that just ended. Would it be possible for you to meet Governor Gu? We’ve reserved a private room at Tang Pavilion; let’s have dinner together."

They must be concerned about the funds being transferred, so Yang Chen replied, "No need, I’m not familiar with him, there’s nothing much to discuss."

Zhang Hongbo was almost in tears and said, "Mr. Yang, I’m begging you. The head office knows you’ve transferred the funds and has already ordered the dismissal of Li Hang and Chen Yan. If we can’t recover the funds, I’ll be held accountable too. I’m begging you, regardless of whether an agreement can be reached, please meet with Governor Gu; otherwise, I have no room to maneuver. This is truly a disaster falling from the sky while I’m just sitting in the office. Mr. Yang, I beg of you."

Originally, Yang Chen intended to keep a low profile with his wealth, but now he couldn’t hide it anymore.

"Alright, just tell Chairman Zhang to inform Governor Gu that I’m a major shareholder of Hai City Bank, he should understand," said Yang Chen.

Zhang Hongbo was stunned for a few seconds, then said, "Ah? Mr. Yang is a major shareholder of Hai City Bank?"

Yang Chen: "Yes! I’ve just acquired 16% of the shares, so I’m barely a major shareholder. Just tell Governor Gu this, and he shouldn’t trouble you to contact me."

Yang Chen hung up the phone.

It was only then that he realized everyone around was staring at him, each with a look of utter shock in their eyes.

They must be looking at him because he’s so handsome, definitely not for any other reason. Yes, that must be it.

Yang Chen smiled and said, "I’m just bullshitting. Don’t believe it!"

The crowd awkwardly chuckled, each with a hint of skepticism on their face.

Was he really bluffing?

Less than two minutes later, another unknown call came in.

Yang Chen answered the call, "Hello."

The person immediately said, "Haha... Hello, Mr. Yang. This is Gu Ming, governor of the head office, I’m delighted to speak with Mr. Yang."

Wow, the governor of the head office personally called, they won’t rest until Yang Chen’s funds are recovered!

Yang Chen: "Hello, Governor Gu. Chairman Zhang has spoken to you, right?"

Gu Ming: "Yes, yes. However, we’ve already booked a meal at Tang Pavilion, and if it’s convenient for Mr. Yang, I’d still like you to join us for dinner. Rest assured, we absolutely won’t discuss the funds. I have a great investment opportunity I want to introduce to Mr. Yang."

Yang Chen: "Really? What kind of opportunity?"

Gu Ming: "Mr. Yang might have heard that our bank is a major shareholder of Penguin Technology. We hold 49% of South Africa Press’s shares, and South Africa Press holds 46% of Penguin Technology. Penguin Technology is currently very profitable, and we’ve always wanted to bring more shares back to Dragon Country people. Recently, our bank has reached a verbal agreement with South Africa Press; they’re offering to sell 15% of their shares for 40 billion US dollars. We’ve been looking for like-minded partners to acquire this 15% together. Would Mr. Yang be interested in participating?"
