"Mr. Xia, welcome to you!"

Charles Rothschild was smiling and very enthusiastic about Xia Yu.

"Mr. Charles, sorry to bother again. ”

"How come, it is my honor for Mr. Xia to come to our company, please come inside!"

After a round of greetings, Charles Rothschild led Xia Yu into the office.

"Mr. Charles, I came here this time because I have a business that I want to cooperate with you, I wonder if you are interested?"

After chatting a few words, Xia Yu went straight to the point and clarified his intentions.

In fact, before Xia Yu made an appointment, Charles Rothschild roughly guessed Xia Yu's intention, and also called Jacob Rothschild, the head of the family, and got the order to make a preparatory plan.

Confident, he smiled slightly, made a gesture of please, and said: "Of course I am interested, it is a pleasure to cooperate with Mr. Xia every time, and with the relationship between the two of us, we will also work hard to complete your business." ”

Xia Yu smiled when he heard this, and said with his chin bowed: "Since this is the case, then I will say it directly." ”

"Mr. Charles should know that I am in the process of acquiring the shares of the Heung Kong Telephone Company, but at present, there is still a certain degree of difficulty, and I hope you can assist me in acquiring the Heung Kong Telephone Company. ”

Sure enough, this is it!

Charles Rothschild said in his heart.

Fortunately, he had already contacted Jacob Rothschild and received instructions to do his best to help Xia Yu if he asked for help in this matter.

As for the reason, the patriarch Jacob Rothschild also explained to him that it was nothing more than to implement the original plan, consume Xia Yu's funds as much as possible, and at the same time dispel Xia Yu's suspicions.

After all, the influence of the surveillance is still there, and the Rothschild family, who have ghosts in their hearts, also wants to clear their suspicions, and the best way is undoubtedly to help Xia Yu acquire Xiangjiang Telephone Company.

Anyway, the plan has failed, and it can't be reused in the future, Xia Yu's acquisition or not of Xiangjiang Telephone Company has no big impact on the Rothschild family, at best, Xia Yu's influence on Xiangjiang is one step deeper.

But in the Luosier family, Xiangjiang is a small place, and the growth ceiling has been set to death, even if Xia Yu builds Xiangjiang into a tietong, his influence in the world is limited, Xia Yu wants to build a nest with him, which consortium does not have a piece of its own territory?

Compared with the foundation of those world's big conglomerates, the current Xiangjiang is really not a cause for concern.

I only heard Charles Rothschild smile and bowed: "Mr. Xia, although this matter is a little difficult, we still have a certain degree of certainty that we can give it a try, but it will take some time." ”

Xia Yu said with a smile: "I know that in Xiangjiang, if there is any problem that cannot be solved, it is right to find you, then I will look forward to Mr. Charles's reply!"

"No problem......"

Next, Xia Yu talked with Charles Rothschild about the cooperation business in detail for a long time before proposing to leave.

......

After sending Xia Yu away, Charles Rothschild immediately gathered the company's elite and formulated a complete acquisition plan, the first step was to target the British minority shareholders in addition to the four major shareholders of the Swire Consortium, Jiuding Securities, the Hong Kong government and the Kadoorie family.

Once you've completed the first step, you'll find the Swire Consortium.

Two days passed in a flash.

The smell of gunpowder in the stock market has diluted a lot, and the reason is that Jiuding Securities Company has ceased to compete for the shares of the Xiangjiang Telephone Company, and seems to have given up, disappointing the melon-eating masses who are waiting to watch the big show.

And the practitioners in the financial industry, as well as a group of bigwigs, also looked confused, I don't know what Jiuding Securities is doing, is it because they know that the winning rate is too low, and they directly choose to give up the acquisition?

As the saying goes, a slap does not make a sound, without Jiuding Securities, one of the protagonists of the big drama, it is no longer realistic for the Swire Consortium to unilaterally rely on the acquisition of shares to raise the stock price, so the stock price of Xiangjiang Telephone Company has a downward trend after a day of stability.

Just when Norman Schiawhe was puzzled, Charles Rothschild suddenly came to visit him.

"Welcome, Mr. Rothier, I was so surprised to meet you!"

Norman Schiaween solemnly welcomed Charles Rothschild.

Although in Heungjiang, the strength of the Swire Consortium is much higher than that of Charles Rothschild and his sons, but in the United Kingdom and even the whole world, the Swire Consortium is far inferior to the Rothschild family.

Therefore, even if it was only Charles Rothschild, the person in charge of Xiangjiang, Norman Shi Yahuai also gave the greatest courtesy and attention.

"Haha, Mr. Shi Yahuai, we haven't seen each other for a long time, I'm so happy to see you. ”

Charles Rothschild said with a smile.

"Mr. Rothschild, please come inside, I just got a batch of the best cat poop coffee, you must try it. ”

"Oh, it looks like I'm here at the right time, so you're welcome......"

Soon, in the luxurious living room of the Shi Yahuai family, Charles Rothschild tasted the cat poop coffee ground by Norman Shi Yahuai.

"Hmm~ It tastes really good, I love the taste. ”

After taking a sip, Charles Rothschild admired from the bottom of his heart.

Seeing that Charles Rothschild was satisfied, Norman Shi Yahuai was in a good mood and said to him: "Mr. Rothschild, since you like it, you must take two cans with you when you leave, this kind of coffee can only play its greatest value when it is in the hands of someone like you who will really enjoy it." ”

Charles Rothschild laughed and said, "Then I won't be polite to you." ”

After talking and laughing, Norman Shi Yahuai gently put down the cup and asked quietly: "Mr. Rothschild, take the liberty of asking, is there anything I need to do?"

Charles Rothschild's smile slowly retracted, and he pondered for a moment, and when a bad premonition rose in Norman Shi Yahuai's heart, he said: "There is indeed one thing, maybe Mr. Shi Yahuai will feel embarrassed, but I have been instructed by the family, and I have to come over with a thick skin. ”

Hearing that the Rothschild family in London was also involved, Norman Shi Yahuai was very solemn in his heart, and asked Charles Rothschild to continue.

"We want to buy the equity of the Heung Kong Telephone Company that you hold!"

"What?"

Norman Shi Yahuai's eyes widened, and he blurted out, his tone full of surprise and disbelief.

He never imagined that Charles Rothschild's target would be this.

A flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, and then he immediately asked, "Mr. Rothschild, is it possible that the Jiuding Consortium entrusted you to buy it?"

Charles Rothschild shook his head with a faint smile and said: "As for who it is, it is inconvenient for me to disclose, after all, keeping secrets for customers is the core purpose of our company." ”

Norman Shi Yahuai's face kept changing, but he became more and more sure of his conjecture, and only after a long time did he refuse in embarrassment: "Mr. Rothschild, you should know that now I am competing with Jiuding Securities Company for Xiangjiang Telephone Company, which is no longer limited to the ownership of one company, but involves the face of the two parties, if I give up the acquisition, then in the eyes of the outside world, our Swire Group will fail, and it will cause a series of bad effects, so ......"

Just as Norman Shi Yahuai was about to say the words of refusal, Charles Rothschild suddenly interrupted him and said with a smile: "Mr. Shi Yahuai, don't be busy refusing for now, you might as well listen to my conditions." “

Norman Shi Yahuai hurriedly stopped talking, took a deep breath, and said, "Please speak!"

Charles Rothschild said slowly: "We are planning to barter, as long as Mr. Shi Yahuai sells the equity of the Heung Kong Telephone Company to us, then we will take out the British North Sea Container and Supply Company as an exchange chip, and the difference will be made up by the other party's capital." ”

Norman Shi Yahuai's eyes were fixed, and his heart was about to move, obviously quite tempted by Charles Rothschild's chips.

looked at Charles Rothschild who was looking at him with a smile, and Norman Shi Yahuai couldn't refuse.

This bargaining chip is too tempting, compared with the loss of the Hong Kong Telephone Company, as long as you get the British North Sea Container and Supply Company, the advantages definitely outweigh the disadvantages.

North Sea Containers & Supplies is a long-awaited target of Swire Pacific, a supplier of North Sea transport equipment.

Since last year, Swire Group has made strategic adjustments and officially started to try to invest in the offshore oil business, especially from the end of last year to the beginning of this year, the sharp rise in oil prices has stimulated the Shi Yahuai family and strengthened their determination to develop the oil business.

However, in the past year, the development of this highly-anticipated business has not been smooth, and one of the most important points is that the transportation industry chain is not perfect, and people are choking their necks, resulting in all aspects are not dominant.

After learning from the pain, Swire Group intends to first improve its foundation and find a position to gain a certain voice, and then use this to reverse the expansion of the oil business, and then consider acquiring a supplier of oil transportation equipment.

It's a pity that the Shi Yahuai family is a rich countryman in the eyes of the British aristocracy, which makes the business progress of the Swire Group quite unsmooth.

Now an opportunity suddenly appeared, and Norman Shi Yahuai suddenly had a feeling that he was in another village, how he was willing to refuse.

Maybe if you miss this village, you won't have this shop!

Seeing Norman Shi Yahuai's face change, Charles Rothschild smiled secretly and continued: "Mr. Shi Yahuai, the Heung Kong Telephone Company is not the core company of the Swire Group, it is only a marginal company with partial shareholdings, as a successful businessman, you should understand that the pound is more important than the so-called face. ”

Do you want face or lining?

Which is better or worse?

Do you want to say yes or not?

In Norman Shi Yahuai's mind, two villains, one white and one black, quarreled fiercely.

Norman Shi Yahuai's deliberation was more than ten minutes.

The coffee in Charles Rothschild's cup also bottomed out unconsciously.

Seeing that Norman Shi Yahuai had not yet decided on such a simple question, Charles Rothschild was a little impatient.

He thought for a moment and said faintly: "Mr. Shi Yahuai, do you need to think about this for so long? If you don't seize the opportunity this time, if you want to set foot in the North Sea oil field again in the future, the difficulty will definitely increase by several levels." ”

The fluttering words fell into Norman Shi Yahuai's ears, but they were like thunder, which shocked Norman Shi Yahuai's heart.

Is this a threat from the Rothschild family?

He looked sharply at Charles Rothschild, looking at the latter's faint smile, but he didn't feel a trace of warmth, and a nameless anger rose in his heart.
