Chapter 1018 - Want a Bank?
After the group entered the living room of Qiu's house and sat down one after another, Xia Yu found a topic to chat with Qiu Depu, and Qiu Deba was also very curious about Xia Yu's legendary experience, and took the initiative to ask from time to time.
Qiu Deba married two wives and had a total of three sons and eleven daughters, in addition to the daughter who has been married, there are now three sons and four daughters in the family.
Among them, the eldest son is Qiu Jinshan, a middle-aged man over forty years old, from the appearance of the old and steady person, according to Xia Yu's investigation, Qiu Jinshan's ability is not bad, as a director of the Qiu Group, and at the same time directly manage the Central Industry Co., Ltd., one of the three major listed companies of the Qiu Group, to assist Qiu Deba in managing the family industry.
The second son is Qiu Jinliang, wearing a pair of gold-rimmed glasses, over 30 years old, with a fair face, looking like a Sven man, quite a Confucian businessman, assisting the family in running the listed Malaysian Hotel Group.
As for the youngest son, he is only twelve years old, named Qiu Jinhai, and is a cute little boy, but Xia Yu heard Qiu Jinhai's name in his previous life, and he became a well-known director and made many influential movies.
While Xia Yu and Qiu Debai were chatting, Qiu Jinshan and Qiu Jinliang were listening quietly, obviously interested in some of the things Xia Yu said.
The youngest Qiu Jinhai couldn't sit still, he didn't seem to be sensitive to business at all, his ass was writhing on the sofa, if it wasn't for his father's approval, he would have slipped away to play.
Fortunately, dinner saved him.
At seven o'clock, all the sumptuous dinners were served, Qiu Deba stopped talking and beckoned Xia Yu and others to serve together.
Between pushing the cup and changing the lamp, it's not lively.
The distance between the two sides has been shortened a lot after a meal.
After dinner, Qiu Debai and Xia Yu returned to the tea table in the living room to chat.
When talking about the warm atmosphere, Xia Yu officially entered today's theme.
Xia Yu said bluntly: "Mr. Qiu, the equity of Swire Pacific is indeed very important to me, and I hope you can cut your love and transfer the 7.8% equity held by the Qiu family to me." ”
Qiu Depua, who was originally smiling, restrained his smile slightly, and did not agree immediately, but asked with a light smile: "Mr. Xia, haven't you already won Swire Airlines, why do you still want to fight with the Shi Yahuai family?"
Xia Yu looked helpless and said: "Mr. Qiu, I thought that there was nothing to do in the future at first, but the world is unpredictable, and others begged me to help deal with the Shi Yahuai family, but I really couldn't shirk it, so I could only bite the bullet." ”
Qiu Deba's heart moved, although he was curious about who asked Xia Yu for help, but since Xia Yu didn't say it vaguely, he didn't want to ask again.
On the contrary, he also said helplessly: "Mr. Xia, your fight with the Shi Yahuai family is really a great fight, just like before, in just two months, due to the loss of the pillar of Swire Airlines, the stock price of Swire Pacific has plummeted, and the market value has also fallen from more than 8 billion Hong Kong dollars at the peak to less than 6 billion Hong Kong dollars now. ”
"You continue to fight with the Shi Yahuai family now, it seems that I can't quit anymore, hey......"
Xia Yu heard the deep meaning of Qiu Deba's words, and he hurriedly apologized solemnly: "Mr. Qiu, I am very sorry for this matter, because Swire and Swire Aviation have always been controlled by the Shi Yahuai family, so when they were fighting, I only stared at the Shi Yahuai family, and really did not take into account the losses of your other shareholders." ”
"But it's not too late to wake up now, I'm willing to buy the equity you hold at the original stock price, what do you think?"
Qiu Debal's face was groaning, as if he was struggling violently inside.
Xia Yu thought for a while and said in a soothing tone: "Mr. Qiu, there are some things that are inconvenient to explain to you, but from my personal point of view, I am very willing to become close friends with the Qiu family, so I don't want to see the Qiu family suffer losses again." ”
"I think I've always been true to the Chinese, and if you believe me, I would suggest that you don't hold any more shares in the Swire Consortium, and even if you don't sell to me, I want you to sell it as soon as possible. ”
"This is advice from the bottom of my heart!"
Qiu Deba's brows furrowed, and he looked at Xia Yu, and found that Xia Yu's eyes were full of sincerity, and it didn't look like lying.
He realized that Xia Yu was not threatening him, and the trace of anger rising in his heart immediately dissipated into nothingness, and he suddenly realized that there must be a bigger plan in this.
The battle between the Shi Yahuai family and Xia Yu, he is undoubtedly quite optimistic about Xia Yu, Xia Yu can take away Swire Airlines under the strict control of the Shi Yahuai family, so it is not impossible to cause more damage to the Shi Yahuai family and the Swire Foundation!
When he received Xia Yu's post, he had already made a preliminary decision to sell his equity to Xia Yu, and the key to success or failure depends on Xia Yu's performance.
Now that Xia Yu said these words suddenly, Qiu Depua's mentality changed again, and he wanted to make friends with Xia Yu more and more, and maybe it would be too late.
After all, if the Swire Consortium falls again, the British-funded consortium that can still have great influence in Xiangjiang will be left with Wheelock.
Now Xia Yu's Jiuding Consortium is already a giant in Xiangjiang, and when the time comes, there will be less constraints, and it will definitely be the time for the dragon to soar all over the world, and becoming a partner with Xia Yu is undoubtedly the best result.
The result is already doomed, then it is undoubtedly better for him to get in the car early.
Therefore, he first thanked: "Mr. Xia, first of all, thank you for the reminder. ”
Then he continued: "You can also transfer the equity of Swire Pacific to you, but my Qiu family is not short of cash for the time being. ”
"At that time, the reason why we bought the equity of Swire Pacific was to invest and get a hen that could lay eggs, and secondly, to broaden our network and use the influence of the Swire Consortium to gain a wider space for development. ”
"If I sell my equity to you, I won't be able to invest my money anywhere, so I'll be cheeky enough to make a request. ”
Xia Yu made a gesture of please and said, "Please speak!"
Qiu Depuat pondered for a moment and said in an appropriate tone: "You used to call me an outstanding banker, but I am ashamed to say that compared to Mr. Xia, what kind of banker am I, the person who lost all the entrepreneurial banks?"
"But the banking industry is indeed the industry where my Qiu family has been able to rise, and I hope to continue to make a big difference in the banking industry, and my eldest son, Jin Shan, is also very interested in the financial industry. ”
"So I hope to be able to exchange shares with Mr. Xia for equity in the bank. ”
After speaking, Qiu Deba looked at Xia Yu with burning eyes, and saw Xia Yu's brows furrowed slightly, and his heart gradually lifted.
Xia Yu was indeed a little dissatisfied, and he also understood why Qiu Teck Puat made such a big gift in the afternoon, and his feelings were for his bank.
Jiuding Bank is his foundation, even Bao Yugang and Huo Yingdong did not obtain the equity of Jiuding Bank, and now Qiu Deba's request really makes him unhappy.
It's just that Xia Yu is very human after all, and a trace of dissatisfaction in his heart was quickly suppressed by reason.
Xia Yu thought of the Qiu family's past.
Khoo's father was a wealthy rice merchant and a shareholder in several banks. In 1933, at the age of 16, Chiu Teck Puat joined the OCBC Bank, which his father co-founded. Later, in 1959, he had already become the deputy general manager of OCBC Bank, but due to his small shareholdings, Qiu Teck Puat could not enter the board of directors, so he resolutely left to seek another career.
Then, in 1960, after his departure, Khoo Teck Puat partnered with several people to open Maybank in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, with a capital of RM10 million.
In just six years, by 1966, Maybank had 108 branches and began to break the monopoly of foreign banks in Malaysia, and Khoo Teck Puat was recognized as an outstanding banker, and the Khoo family also laid a foundation with the help of Maybank.
But the good times did not last long, because in 1965, Star City became independent from Malaysia, and Khoo Teck Puat, whose roots are mainly located in Star City, became a thorn in the side of the Malaysian government.
In 1966, rumors spread that Khoo Teck Puat had borrowed money from his own bank without collateral, leading to a run on Maybank and on the verge of collapse, and the Malaysian government seized the opportunity to forcibly take over, and then restructured Maybank in January 1967, becoming the largest shareholder of Maybank.
Although the Qiu family still holds a part of the equity of Maybank, where has they ever won a government?
The benefits are not his, and the pot does not let him carry less.
It was not until 1976 that he resigned as a director of Maybank, which he founded became the Malaysian government.
Although Khoo Teck Puat lost Maybank, how could he give up after he tasted the sweetness of banking?
As a result, he is still involved in the banking industry, such as in Brunei, where he runs the National Bank of Brunei with the younger brother of the Sultan of Brunei.
However, because of the boycott of Star City and Malaysia, the National Bank of Brunei has not been able to obtain the banking license of Star City and Malaysia, so that Qiu Deba has nowhere to go and is very aggrieved.
At this moment, Xia Yu had an idea, thought of something, and his brows gradually relaxed.
Qiu Deba, who had been paying close attention to Xia Yu, moved in his heart, and his heart, which had been gradually sinking, was lifted again.
After a while, I only heard Xia Yu say: "Mr. Qiu, Jiuding Bank is not for sale, shouldering a great responsibility, I will not sell equity to anyone, before in Xiangjiang, Bao Yugang and others asked me I did not transfer even one share, so please forgive me!"
The relationship between him and Bao Yugang is well known, and Xia Yu gave this example, even if he rejects Qiu Depit, Qiu Deba cannot be angry.
Just when Qiu Depu's smile was a little reluctant.
Xia Yu changed his words and continued: "But Mr. Qiu, with your old experience and creativity in the banking industry, if you don't run a bank, it is indeed a waste of your talent. ”
"I also look forward to working closely with you in the banking industry. ”
"I think so, in addition to Jiuding Bank, we cooperate with other banks, and this bank will not be bad, what do you think?"
