Deng Zhaojian restrained his mood and said with a smile: "In fact, after the Hong Kong government issued profit restrictions in 1975, the bus industry was already destined for the future. ”

After sighing, Deng Zhaojian suddenly asked: "Yes, Mr. Xia, since the prospects of your guidance of the bus industry are not good, why do you still step into this quagmire?"

"Do you want the land owned by the Kowloon Bus Company?"

In Tang Zhaojian's mind, the Kowloon Bus is only worth the huge land, which is why Lui Juekun has always cared about the Kowloon Bus, in order to encroach on the land of the Kowloon Bus again and again in the name of joint development or renovation and replacement.

The reason why he turned a blind eye was not because he had no opinion or was in the same boat, but because Lei Juekun was his nephew, and he also watched Lei Juekun grow up and accept the Lei family's family business, so as long as Lei Juekun was not too excessive and affected the normal operation of Kowloon Bus, he didn't bother to conflict with him.

Unexpectedly, Xia Yu shook his head in his puzzled gaze, and said calmly: "I'm not for the land of Kowloon Bus, I just want to enter the bus industry." ”

"Most people run companies to make money, but I am different, I am to enrich the industrial chain. ”

"Sir Tang should have known that I have a Jiuding Transport Group, and you also generously sold a part of your stake in the Yau Ma Tei Ferry to me at that time. ”

"It was a long time ago!"

"And this is just a normal business dealing, not generosity. ”

Hearing this, Deng Zhaojian nodded with a smile and said.

There is indeed such a thing, and it is precisely because of the transfer of the equity of the Yau Ma Tei ferry that he has a greater intersection with Xia Yu, and he has become friends later.

Later, he also heard that the Yau Ma Tei Ferry had merged with the Star Ferry to dominate the short-distance ferry market in Hong Kong.

"You have perfected me, and you have always remembered it in my heart. ”

Xia Yu said with a smile, which made Deng Zhaojian smile even more.

Xia Yu went on to explain: "In addition to the Tianxing ferry of water transport under my Jiuding Transport Group, there is also a Xiangjiang tram company, which also has a certain market in the land passenger transport market. ”

"And Kowloon Motor Bus can also provide some subsidies for my other industries. ”

"It is based on this consideration that Kowloon Motor Bus is more important to me, not just for operating profits. ”

Deng Zhaojian showed a look of surprise and believed Xia Yu's reason.

He thought for a moment and said, "Since Kowloon Motor Bus has this effect on you, then I think you will also work hard to run Kowloon Motor Bus." ”

"I'm also old, and my son and grandson are not interested in Kowloon Bus, so I don't have any other requirements than I hope you can bring new vitality to Kowloon Bus. ”

"To be honest, I feel very guilty for such a big accident a few days ago, although there are many reasons for the accident, but it is undeniable that there are also negligence in our management. ”

"I went to visit the wounded, hey, it's so miserable, I'm ashamed of them......"

Seeing Deng Zhaojian's face full of self-blame, Xia Yu said comfortingly: "Sir Deng, you don't have to blame yourself so much, no one wants to see the accident happen, but since this is already the case, we can only remedy it as much as possible, not to mention that I have also seen the cause of the accident, mainly because the driver goes to gamble at night and drives fatigue during the day, which leads to a car accident, which is no way." ”

Deng Zhaojian shook his head with a wry smile, and then cheered up again and said, "Forget it, don't talk about this, everything has already happened." ”

"Wait a minute, I'll go upstairs. ”

"Okay!"

Xia Yu responded, and then watched Deng Zhaojian go upstairs.

After a while, Deng Zhaojian walked down again, and he also took some documents in his hand, Xia Yu guessed that it should be the equity certificate of Kowloon Bus or something.

Sure enough, Deng Zhaojian handed the equity certificate to Xia Yu and said, "Mr. Xia, you can take a look, this is the stock certificate of 8.97 million shares of Kowloon Bus in my personal name." ”

Xia Yu took it, just glanced at it and returned it to Deng Zhaojian, after all, before the cooperation was officially reached, this thing did not belong to him.

Although Deng Zhaojian has made it clear that he is willing to transfer the equity to him.

Xia Yu's face was solemn, and he said: "Sir Deng, I need all these shares, please make a price!"

Tang Zhaojian thought for a while and said: "I also know that the stock price of Kowloon Motor Bus is plummeting now, but in my opinion, this plunge is a bit irrational, Kowloon Bus has the franchise of bus services in the New Territories and Kowloon area, this is an exclusive business, no matter how bad the reputation is, the public still has to take it." ”

"The most immediate issue now is the issue of compensation for the dead and the injured, which requires the payment of a sum of money, but there is also a limit, and the impact is only on this year's earnings. ”

"So in terms of price, I agree that it is lower than the previous price, but it can't be too low. ”

"Mr. Xia, what do you think?"

Xia Yu smiled and said, "That's the truth, I understand what you mean." ”

Deng Zhaojian smiled and continued: "I'm not an unreasonable person, Mr. Xia, you can make a price, as long as the price is right, I will let people bring the contract over and sign it directly." ”

Deng Zhaojian's boldness made Xia Yu feel very good, he thought about it, looked at Deng Zhaojian, and said sincerely: "Sir Deng, at the close of trading last weekend, the market value of Kowloon Bus was about 310 million Hong Kong dollars. ”

"At the close of trading this morning, the market capitalisation of Kowloon Bus was around HK$280 million, and when the afternoon opened, it also opened lower. ”

Deng Zhaojian held his breath and listened quietly to Xia Yu's story.

He thought that Xia Yu would take advantage of this to lower the price.

Unexpectedly, Xia Yu's next words surprised him again.

"But Sir Tang, as you said, the capital market is sometimes irrational, and investors are voting with their feet to follow the trend. ”

"So my thinking is that I will buy your 8.97 million shares at a price of HK$35.1 million, assuming that the market value of Kowloon Motor Bus is HK$360 million. ”

"What do you think?"

Looking at Xia Yu's sincere smile, Deng Zhaojian laughed loudly: "Mr. Xia, you have suffered a big loss!"

Xia Yu shook his head with a smile and said, "I don't feel at a loss!"

Deng Zhaojian smiled and suddenly asked, "Mr. Xia, can I know what base you used to acquire the shares of the Tan family and the Lin family?"

Xia Yu pondered for a moment and said, "I won't tell you, it's the closing price of last Friday." ”

Deng Zhaojian was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly realized: "It turned out to be 310 million Hong Kong dollars." ”

"I didn't expect Mr. Xia to give me face like this, I'm really ashamed!"

Xia Yu shook his head and said: "They belong to them, you belong to you, even the same thing has to be different from person to person, you fulfill me, I can't let you suffer, after all, in addition to business, there is also a personal relationship between us, I can't cheat you!"

"Sir Deng, do you think I asked the lawyer to come or what?"

Deng Zhaojian said with a smile: "In this case, I will admit your love, lawyer, I will call, my family lawyer happens to be nearby, I will call him, and he will come over soon." ”

"Okay!

Xia Yu said.

Immediately afterwards, Deng Zhaojian went to make a phone call, and explained to the lawyer on the phone what to prepare and the terms of the transaction.

About half an hour later, just as Xia Yu and Deng Zhaojian were chatting, the doorbell rang, and after the next person opened the door, a middle-aged man wearing gold-rimmed glasses walked in, who was Deng Zhaojian's family lawyer.

The contract for this transaction is relatively simple, the number and price of equity are obvious, and there are no hidden pitfalls.

After Xia Yu read it, he signed it directly, and then the contract was in triplicate, Xia Yu took one copy, Deng Zhaojian took one copy, and the lawyer kept one copy.

"Mr. Xia, now it's yours!"

Deng Zhaojian picked up the equity certificate on the table and handed it to Xia Yu and said, there was some inexplicable look in his eyes, as if he was reluctant, as if he was relieved, and as if he was gloomy.

Xia Yu understands Tang Zhaojian's feelings, after all, Tang Zhaojian has served as the chairman of the board of directors of Kowloon Motor Bus for nearly 50 years, and people's hearts are long, and Kowloon Bus should be another child in Tang Zhaojian's mind.

He solemnly accepted the proof of equity and promised Tang Zhaojian: "Sir Tang, thank you for your trust in me, please rest assured, I will do my best to operate Kowloon Motor Bus, and as soon as I take over, I will replace the vehicles for Kowloon Motor Bus, at least 500 new buses!"

As for the brand of the bus, there is no doubt that it is the Leland brand, Xia Yu's brand of the Leland Automobile Group, a subsidiary of the Rolls-Royce Motor Group in the United Kingdom, and the fertilizer water is still circulating in his own fields.

Tang said happily: "Mr. Xia is really generous, and I believe more and more that it is the wisest choice for Kowloon Motor Bus to hand over to you!"

Xia Yu smiled and said: "By the way, Sir Deng, there is a way to have an old family and a treasure, although you sold the equity to me, but Kowloon Motor Bus is still your child, I hope you can serve as the permanent honorary executive director of Kowloon Motor Bus, and be able to remind Kowloon Bus in time when it makes a detour." ”

"Okay, well, then thank you Mr. Xia......"

"Sir Deng, tomorrow at the latest, I will transfer the money to your account......"

......

In the end, when Xia Yu left Deng's house, Deng Zhaojian, who was in a happy mood, personally sent Xia Yu out of the door until he got in the car.

Before Xia Yu's car was about to leave, Deng Zhaojian said to Xia Yu: "Mr. Xia, I won't tell Lei Juekun and the Wu family, but if you need me to come forward, I will be happy to come forward, and wait until you have acquired enough shares, and then call me, and I will accompany you to take over the Kowloon Bus Company." ”

"Okay, then thank you, Sir!"

"No thanks, yes!"

"It's not too early, let's talk next time I have time, have a good trip!"

"Thank you, goodbye!"

After leaving Deng's house, seeing that it was not yet time to get off work, Xia Yu went directly to Jiuding Securities Company.

I don't know how many shares Wang Qi let people acquire after a busy day, plus the equity of Deng Zhaojian he won, how much is it still 50%?
