Chapter 12 Successful Acquisition Second Update
Ding Shengwu is the third boss of "Hong Kong Island Daily", and he has a primary school culture, so he came out to work hard early.
Later, after making a little money in business, he wanted to climb to a higher level, and after being instructed by others, he bought "Hong Kong Island Daily", hoping to improve his level through the newspaper.
Maybe everyone has the illusion that they are the protagonist.
Ding Shengwu was full of confidence at first, fantasizing that the "Hong Kong Island Daily" could rise in his hands, and then he became famous, achieved his goals, successfully stepped into the upper echelons of society, expanded his network, and then the business grew bigger and bigger, and then became a generation of tycoons.
It's a pity that the ideal is very plump, and the reality is too skinny!
After struggling for a few years, he slowly accepted the reality that the Island Daily in his hands could not help him achieve his life goals.
But because of face reasons, and although the "Hong Kong Island Daily" did not make him a lot of money, it was at least able to operate, so he allowed the newspaper to continue to exist in his hands.
It's a pity that more than a year ago, Hong Kong stocks fluctuated violently, many companies collapsed, his business was implicated and went wrong, and he lost a wave of losses, and had to sell assets to fill the hole.
At first, he was in a hurry to raise money, and he also counted on slaughtering a fat sheep, and quoted the price very high, scaring off several people who wanted to buy newspapers in a row. This time, the reputation stinks.
After that, others forced the debt tightly, and he had to reduce the price, but at this time, others also understood the situation of "Hong Kong Island Daily", which was completely a chicken rib, so that no one wanted to sell it if he wanted to.
For this reason, Ding Shengwu felt helpless.
But fortunately, I received a call from an employee early this morning, and someone made an appointment to talk to him about the acquisition of "Hong Kong Island Daily", and Ding Shengwu happily agreed.
No, he was sitting anxiously waiting in the office, drinking three or four cups of tea, and his eyes were always glancing out of the door.
On the other hand, after Xia Yu made an appointment, he went to HSBC first, and found that all the money had been transferred to the bank account, so he relieved himself and set off towards the location of the "Hong Kong Island Daily" newspaper.
"Hello, I'm Xia Yu, and I just made an appointment with your boss. ”
Walking into an old store, Xia Yu found the front desk and said.
The front desk is a girl in her twenties, named Li Qian, who looks average, and when she heard Xia Yu's words at this time, her eyes widened and she was a little surprised.
Li Qian received an appointment call before, that person's name was Xia Yu, she didn't notice it before, but now when she saw Xia Yu, she woke up, and the voice on the phone before seemed to be very young.
Although it was unbelievable, Li Qian was not qualified to doubt it, so she still left it to the boss to deal with, not to mention that the boss was already in a hurry.
"Hello, sir, our boss is already waiting for you in the office, please come with me!" Li Qian said with a smile, and then led the way in front, Xia Yu said thank you and followed.
"Boss, Mr. Xia Yu has arrived. Walking to the door of the office and finding that the door was open, Li Qian knocked on the door and walked in and said respectfully, while turning sideways to reveal Xia Yu behind him.
Ding Shengwu found Xia Yu when he saw the employee come in, but he was a little stunned after seeing that it was a teenager, and after hearing the employee's words, he blinked in disbelief, and there was a fire in his heart.
The person who made him wait for so long turned out to be a child, and he came to buy his "Hong Kong Island Daily", isn't this playing with him?
He still has a lot of important things to deal with, where can he have time to play with a child?!
Thinking of this, Ding Shengwu was angry in his heart.
But anyway, he is also in his fifties, and after working hard in the business world for so many years, he still has the most politeness and the city government.
He suppressed the anger in his heart, stood up with a smile and made a gesture to Xia Yu, and said, "Xia Sheng, please take a seat!"
"Li Qian, make a cup of tea for Xia Sheng!"
"Thank you!"
Xia Yu said hello and sat down with a smile, this calm attitude that was not suitable for his age made Ding Shengwu a little surprised, and a thought suddenly popped up in his heart: "Is he really here to buy newspapers?"
Ding Shengwu looked at Xia Yu without a trace, and found that the young man in front of him was well-dressed, and more importantly, he was full of energy, exuding a confident breath all over his body, which invisibly made his heart relax slightly.
After Li Qian finished making tea and exited the office, Xia Yu took a sip of tea, praised the good tea, and then chatted with Ding Shengwu.
Xia Yu did not directly propose to buy "Hong Kong Island Daily", so as to avoid showing an anxious gesture to ask Ding Shengwu to raise the price, but the content of his chat was always related to the newspaper, and the scale was very well grasped, which made Ding Shengwu unable to get angry.
This unhurried attitude made Ding Shengwu a little unpredictable about Xia Yu's thoughts, but he still had an eye for people and things, and it had been determined that Xia Yu did have the idea of buying newspapers, but he couldn't see how much he wanted to buy them.
"Definitely a master of negotiation!" Ding Shengwu's heart sank, Xia Yu gave him the feeling that he was no worse than those forty or fifty-year-olds, which made him more and more sure of the guess in his heart, the young man in front of him was definitely a child of a wealthy family, and he had undergone elite education, and ordinary families would never be able to teach such a demonic teenager.
I have to say that Ding Shengwu thinks too much about himself, if he knows that Xia Yu is a fisherman, I don't know if he will be dumbfounded.
Of course, it's not that Ding Shengwu has no eyesight, according to Xia Yu's current state, most people will suspect that he is a child of a wealthy family, after all, the temperament from the inside out cannot be cultivated by grassroots families.
But who could have known that Xia Yu, a sixteen-year-old boy, would have a lot of adult elite memories in his body!
After talking for a while, Ding Shengwu couldn't hold it anymore, he had other things to deal with, but he urgently needed money, "Hong Kong Island Daily" had not been sold for more than a year, everyone knew what was going on, and now Xia Yu's attitude is nothing more than wanting to lower the price, he has already admitted it, as long as it does not exceed the bottom line, he will sell.
After all, he has long been prepared to be underpriced, who made him anxious to sell, and he was congenitally at a negotiating weakness.
"Xia Sheng, I really want to make a move from Hong Kong Island Daily, I don't know what price you can offer?" Ding Shengwu put down the teacup and said seriously, looking directly at Xia Yu.
Xia Yu took a sip of tea unhurriedly, and said with a smile: "Ding Sheng, after all, I haven't been engaged in this industry, I don't know much about these things, but I just consulted a few friends in the newspaper, and they recommended "Hong Kong Island Daily" to me, you can make a price, if it is suitable, we will talk, if it is not suitable, forget it, business is not benevolent." ”
Ding Shengwu's eyes froze, and he sighed secretly that it was not easy to deal with, Xia Yu was like a fox, he couldn't take any advantage, he completely grasped his mentality and didn't let go.
Forget it, it's rare for someone to buy it, so it's better to sell it early, and the longer it drags on, the greater the loss to him.
"Since this is the case, then I will quote a price, the whole newspaper will be packaged, with a minimum of 300,000 Hong Kong dollars!" Ding Shengwu directly quoted this price, he originally planned to quote 350,000, but after a confrontation with Xia Yu, he lost a lot of confidence and directly quoted this price.
Hearing the price of 300,000, Xia Yu raised his eyebrows slightly, his mind turned sharply, and he understood that his attitude had played a role, so that Ding Shengwu did not dare to quote too high a price, and Ding Shengwu was anxious to get rid of it.
"In that case, then we should cut the price more!" Xia Yu thought to himself.
"Ding Sheng, your price is too high, it's not worth the price, not to mention that your place is old, and the newspaper sales are declining every day, the future is unknown, I took a big risk to buy it, in my opinion, it is worth 180,000 at most. Xia Yu directly opened his mouth and cut the price by 120,000.
Hearing Xia Yu's words, Ding Shengwu clenched his fists, took a deep breath, suppressed the anger in his heart, and barely smiled.
"Xia Sheng......"
......
After a fierce conversation, the price was cut to 230,000 by Xia Yu, and no matter what he said, Ding Shengwu couldn't let go, and Xia Yu gave up.
"Happy cooperation!" Xia Yu stood up and shook hands with Ding Shengwu, who was smiling reluctantly.
After that, Ding Shengwu asked people to print out the contract and send it in, Xia Yu signed the contract after confirming that it was correct, and then set off with Ding Shengwu towards HSBC.
After the transfer was confirmed, Ding Shengwu handed over the contract to Xia Yu, and then accompanied Xia Yu back to the newspaper again, he needed to call the staff to announce the news and complete the handover with Xia Yu.
