Chapter 1015 The Association of Banks raises interest rates
"Tuk Tuk!"
"You're coming together?"
"Come in and sit!"
Xia Yu, who was immersed in the approval of the documents, looked out of the door after hearing the knock on the door, and when he saw Wang Qi and Wei Li coming together, his brows moved slightly, and he said with a gentle expression.
"Thank you, Chairman!"
After the two respectfully thanked them, they walked into the office.
Wang Qi walked straight to Xia Yu, put a thick stack of document bags in front of Xia Yu's desk, and said: "Chairman, this is the equity certificate and transaction contract of Swire Airlines and its subsidiaries, all of which have been bought, a total of 970 million Hong Kong dollars. ”
"Well, thank you guys!"
Xia Yu said with a smile, then took the file bag and opened it and took out something to look at.
He knew the price of the contract, although he had authorized Wang Qi to sign the contract directly, but after the transfer, Liu Tianci called him to report the matter, so he already knew that the matter was successful before.
Therefore, after simply flipping through it, Xia Yu put aside the documents and certificates with satisfaction.
Seeing Xia Yu read it, Wang Qi immediately asked: "Chairman, there is still a part of the equity of Xiangjiang Aircraft Engineering Company in the hands of the public, and there are still 5% in the hands of Swire Pacific Financial Company, do you need to privatize Xiangjiang Aircraft Engineering Company?"
Xia Yu thought about it, shook his head and said: "No need for the time being, the current stock price is still high, and it is more appropriate after a while." ”
Hearing Xia Yu say this, Wang Qi understood what the chairman meant, and he nodded and didn't say anything more.
After saying to Wang Qi, Xia Yu looked at Wei Li who was sitting on his lap again, recalled Wei Li's management skills, he pondered for a moment, and said to him: "Wei Li, there is something you need to do. ”
"Chairman, please command!"
Verry replied immediately.
Xia Yu thought for a moment and then said: "I don't like the word Swire, Swire Airlines needs to be rectified, the company changed its name to Cathay Pacific Group Co., Ltd., under the jurisdiction of Cathay Pacific Airways Co., Ltd., Xiangjiang Airport Ground Handling Company, Xiangjiang Aircraft Engineering Company, and also holds the equity of Dongfeng Airlines." ”
"The affiliation of the secondary subsidiaries remains unchanged for the time being. ”
"Cathay Pacific Airways Group Limited is a wholly owned subsidiary of Jiuding Industrial Group, with you as Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, as well as Chairman of Cathay Pacific Airways Limited. ”
"All the people related to the Shi Yahuai family, on the premise of ensuring the stability of the company, all of them will be cleared, and the company's assets will be sorted out as soon as possible, and all the problems and burdens left over from history will be solved. ”
Willy replied excitedly: "Thank you Chairman for your trust and guarantee to complete the task!"
How can he not be happy that he has been promoted from the chairman of Cathay Pacific Airways Limited to the chairman of Cathay Pacific Group, which has directly raised the rights and treatment to a higher level?
If total assets are calculated and net assets are not counted, after the injection of HK$900 million into Cathay Pacific Airways Limited, the assets of the entire group will definitely exceed HK$6 billion.
In addition, he is also the chairman of Hutchison Whampoa, although Hutchison Whampoa has lost weight, but there are still more than 50 companies, which are also a giant, not inferior to Cathay Pacific Group.
In this way, he took care of tens of billions of assets for Xia Yu.
As a person who came from Hutchison Whampoa and got on the bus halfway, it would be good if he was not cleaned and fired, and now he can still be so valued by Xia Yu, and there are fewer constraints than during the Hutchison Whampoa period, how can he not be excited?
Although I believe in Verry's ability and mentality, I still have to mention what should be mentioned.
Xia Yu restrained his smile, straightened his face, and said seriously: "Weiri, I am optimistic about your talent, but the key is to look at yourself, don't live up to my expectations." ”
Verry suddenly calmed down and nodded solemnly: "Understood!"
......
The news of Swire Airlines' completion of the deal spread on the same day, and many media outlets reported the matter the next day.
Many media and melon-eating people have regrets, after all, with the completion of the transaction by Swire Airlines, the head-on conflict between the Jiuding Consortium and the Swire Consortium has disappeared, and the melon has nothing to eat.
Fortunately, the Swire Consortium still has a breaking point, so many eyes are increasingly focused on the struggle between the Shi Yahuai family and the Song family.
Xia Yu's side kept a low profile for the time being, so as to speed up the layout and preparation in the shadows when there was less line of sight.
And the Shi Yahuai family is less restrained by the Jiuding Consortium, and their energy is more concentrated, and they deal with the Song family wholeheartedly, which makes Song Bo's pressure increase sharply, and he keeps complaining to Xia Yu, Xia Yu can only give Song Bo ideas while urging himself to speed up the preparations.
At 4 p.m. on Friday, July 17, the four major exchanges of Hong Kong stocks closed at the same time, and the Hang Seng Index rose to 1,861.25, and the total turnover of the four major exchanges on the day reached 1.167 billion Hong Kong dollars, which was still at a peak.
However, at 4:48 p.m., the Hong Kong Association of Banks held a press conference to officially announce the decision to raise the bank's interest rates by one percent, from 17% to 18% for the prime rate, 12% for savings deposits, and 19% for mortgages!
The press conference is not over yet, and the news is already flying.
Fortunately, the stock market is closed, otherwise the stock market is very likely to fall.
The trend of the stock market next Monday depends on whether the capital is calm or panicked after the news ferments in the next two weekends.
......
That night, Xia Yu was invited to get together with Bao Yugang and Huo Yingdong.
The location was chosen at Huo Yingdong's house, and when Xia Yu arrived, Bao Yugang drank two cups of tea.
As soon as he saw Xia Yu, Bao Yugang smiled and congratulated: "Ayu, congratulations, you have successfully eaten the aviation sector of the Swire Consortium, and you have another title of aviation tycoon on your head." ”
Huo Yingdong also joked: "Ah Yu, let me ask you, can you count the number of heads?" haha......
Xia Yu shook his head and smiled helplessly: "What kind of tycoon is not a tycoon, it's just a false name, and the gimmick made by our Xiangjiang media is all for newspaper sales, do you think if I go out in the name of a Xiangjiang Airlines tycoon, I won't be laughed to death by the world's top aviation giants?"
Bao Yugang quipped again: "Ayu, Cathay Pacific has you in charge, can you be worse than those aviation giants in the future?"
"Don't talk about those destined in advance, I'll talk to you, you have unified the Xiangjiang shipping market and bus market before, plus the current aviation market, this sky flying, running on the ground, swimming in the water are all together, I see the three titles together, it is called the commander-in-chief of the navy, land and air force!"
"Haha......"
After laughing, Huo Yingdong arranged for the maid to serve the food, and called the family to eat together.
At the dinner table, we just talked about interesting things, and did not talk about serious things or heavy topics.
After a full meal, the three of them came to the gazebo in the back garden to drink tea, and the dim light and the sound of insects had a unique taste.
Huo Yingdong took a sip of tea and asked: "Ah Yu, now there is another group of elite intellectuals in Xiangjiang who plan to go north to the mainland next month, and the person who organized it is Fu Chaoshu, the founder of "Zhongbao", has he ever looked for you?"
Xia Yu frowned, shook his head and said, "You didn't look for me." ”
Then he asked, "What is he going to talk about?"
Huo Yingdong bowed slightly and said: "He has looked for me, but I have already been there once this year, and I can't leave during this time, but I also built a bridge for him." ”
He collected the opinions of many intellectuals, and the "Zhongbao" also did a public opinion poll, and this time he went north to the mainland, and the starting point was good. ”
Xia Yu said with a light smile: "I believe that the mainland will not let him down." ”
"That's right......"
......
After chatting briefly about this matter, Huo Yingdong ended the topic, he and Bao Yugang glanced at each other, and finally talked about the real purpose of tonight.
"Ayu, now the pond in Xiangjiang is stirred up by the press conference of the Association of Banks in the afternoon, your Jiuding Bank is a member of the Association of Banks, you should know better than us, you have to point out my brother." ”
Bao Yugang then asked: "Yes, Ayu, you know far more about the capital market than we do, now the bank is raising interest rates, the impact covers the entire Xiangjiang, especially the mortgage interest rate has been raised to 19%, and the loan interest has also increased by 1 percent, which has a great impact on the real estate market, how can we go better?"
