Chapter 988 Two Roads, British-Funded or Chinese-Owned?

Song Bo frowned and thought for a moment before he sighed and said embarrassedly, "Mr. Xia, you have given me a big problem. ”

"Your words are reasonable, but they can't be applied to any situation, it just so happens that my Song family's situation is quite special. ”

Song Zhicheng also echoed and said: "Yes, Mr. Xia, you are making us very embarrassed!"

Xia Yu smiled lightly and said: "What's so embarrassing about this, we all know in business, everything has a value, as long as the price is right, it can be sold, and no one can point to it, right?"

Song Zhicheng glanced at his father, and immediately retorted: "But Mr. Xia, if you know the cooperative relationship between our Song family and the Shi Yahuai family, you should know that there are some assets that we can't sell if we want to. ”

"Our Song family has been working with the Shi Yahuai family for decades, and in many companies in the Swire Group, our Song family has equity stakes, and Cathay Pacific is one of them. ”

"It's just that compared with other assets, Cathay Pacific's equity is very special, if we sell our equity to you, it will be betraying our old friend, which is trapping us in injustice. ”

"And the strength of the Shi Yahuai family is far above our Song family, if our Song family sells the equity of Cathay Pacific Airways to you, the Shi Yahuai family will lose Cathay Pacific Airways. ”

"They can't do anything about you, but they can retaliate against our Song family, and then our losses in other aspects will be incalculable, maybe higher than the equity value of Cathay Pacific Airways. ”

Just when Song Zhicheng said these words in a row, Song Bo showed displeasure on his face and scolded: "Zhicheng." ”

Song Zhicheng smiled and did not continue.

Song Bo said to Xia Yu apologetically: "Mr. Xia, Zhicheng is straightforward, but he has no other meaning, just objectively stating the facts. ”

"Actually, you should have heard that it has been rumored outside that my Song family was supported by foreigners, and it was only by relying on the Swire Consortium that it could rise step by step. ”

"Although I don't like to hear this, and what I say is not pertinent, if I say that I have not received the help of the Shi Yahuai family, it must be a lie. ”

"You also know that our Song family, whether it is in the Xiangjiang Swire Group or Swire Pacific Co., Ltd., although it is a shareholder, but the proportion of shares is not high, it can only be said that it is average, and there is no comparison with the Shi Yahuai family at all, if you offend them, then the situation of my Song family will be dangerous. ”

Speaking of this, Song Bo saw that Xia Yu's face seemed to be a little bad, and he said solemnly: "Mr. Xia, it's not that I don't give you face, if it's an equity that has nothing to do with the Swire Foundation, as long as you say it, I will agree without saying a word, and I am willing to sell it at a loss." ”

Hehe!

The words are so open, but in fact it's all, who wouldn't say anything about the scene?

Xia Yu sneered in his heart, but his eyes looked straight at Song Bo, and said slowly: "Old man Song, I know your old difficulties, of course I also know that you are modest, the strength of the Song family is obvious to all, and there are not a few enemies of the Shi Yahuai family, if I were Norman Shi Yahuai, I would never be stupid enough to push the Song family to the opposite side again!"

Seeing that Song Zhicheng opened his mouth and wanted to speak, Xia Yu directly raised his voice, ignored Song Zhicheng, stared at Song Bo, and said in a resolute tone: "Six and six billion, pure cash one-time payment, what do you think of my sincerity!"

Song Bo was stunned for a moment, and after a quick calculation in his heart, his pupils shrank suddenly, obviously shocked by Xia Yu's offer.

Based on Cathay Pacific's valuation of HK$2.8 billion, the 16% stake held by the Song family is worth HK$448 million.

And Xia Yu's offer is directly a premium of more than 210 million Hong Kong dollars, which is not a big deal!

With important things, Xia Yu directly promised to pay off the cash at one time, which shocked Song Bo even more and was shocked by Xia Yu's strength.

In the history of the business community in Hong Kong, there is no precedent for buying shares and companies in full at one time, but without exception, they are all transactions of less value.

Generally, transactions of more than 100 million yuan are basically a part of the down payment, and then the rest of the money is paid off in several installments, some even drag on for two or three years, and some are in the form of stocks + cash.

After all, everyone knows that the company's equity only seems to be valuable, but no one can guarantee that a company can make money continuously, and it is difficult to guarantee that it will fall into a business crisis tomorrow.

Only money that goes into your pocket has real value!

And in the entire Xiangjiang, there are only a few people who can take out 660 million cash at one time, and his Song family does not have this strength anyway.

For this price, Song Bo is tempted, not to mention Song Zhicheng.

It's just that Song Bo still has the right to decide this matter, so Song Zhicheng looked at his father.

Song Bo was silent for a moment, and said with a grateful look on his face: "Mr. Xia, I can really feel your sincerity. ”

After saying this, his face changed again, and he said with a tangled color: "It's just ......"

He had just said two words, Xia Yu didn't care about being polite or impolite, so he directly interrupted his words and said in a louder voice: "Old man Song, don't shirk it so quickly, you might as well listen to me, what do you think?"

Song Bo nodded and made a gesture of please: "Please speak!"

Xia Yu picked up the teacup, took a big sip of the teacup that was already at room temperature in the cup, moistened his throat, and said slowly: "Old man Song, the times are different, now is not as good as a few decades ago, and not as much as ten years ago, Chinese capital has risen, and British capital has been going downhill." ”

"After all, Xiangjiang is the Xiangjiang of the Chinese, the British are just outsiders, when the strength is insufficient, the British can still be powerful in various fields, but we Chinese are born like to fight, when there is no strength, it is good to say, when there is strength, no one will like the British oppression and constraints. ”

"So you can also see the development and changes of British-funded families and consortia in recent years, such as Wharf, Hutchison Whampoa, Jardine Matheson, etc., one after another, and only two of the four major British-funded consortia remain, and the remaining Swire Consortium and Wheelock are under several times the pressure of the past. ”

In fact, the strength of Chinese capital has surpassed that of British capital, and the future of British capital is becoming more and more dangerous. ”

"And you also know that the British capital can have today's strength, basically relying on the protection of the Hong Kong government in the past, obtaining the monopoly of various profiteering industries, lying directly on the mountain of gold to make money, not really fighting with a knife, who do you think will be convinced?"

"In the future, the Swire Consortium will become more and more self-conscious, and if the Song family is too deeply involved with the Swire Consortium, I am afraid that it will be implicated at that time!"

"After all, Xiangjiang is the Xiangjiang of the Chinese, and it has been sixteen years......"

After speaking, Xia Yu didn't say much, he added a little tea to himself, and at the same time added it to their father and son, and then picked up the teacup, blew it gently, the white mist rising in the cup was blown away, and he tasted the tea slowly.

Song Bo and Song Zhicheng's father and son's faces kept changing, obviously Xia Yu's words hit the depths of their hearts, making them struggle fiercely in their hearts.

Especially Xia Yu's last two sentences, the impact on the Song family and his son was the greatest, because the possibility was too high, and the risks faced by the Song family were also great.

At this time, Xia Yu almost said to him, there are only two ways to stay in front of you, the first is to follow the Taikoo Consortium to the black, and the second is to accept his friendship, and the Song family will be protected by him at that time.

There is no doubt that judging from the prestige of Xia Yu's ability to kill Hutchison Whampoa and the Jardine Matheson Consortium, the Jiuding Consortium is indeed stronger than the Swire Consortium.

But the key is that the Song family's assets and strength are in the Taikoo Consortium, not in the Jiuding Consortium, which is the reason why he hesitates.

Song Bo took a deep breath and said to Xia Yu with a solemn face: "Mr. Xia, after all, this matter has too much impact, my Song family has been developing steadily so far, after all, the Song family is not my Song family alone, it is my ancestors who have worked hard with the clansmen for generations, and I have to be responsible for them." ”

"In this kind of key matter, I still have to convene the clansmen to discuss, what the specific result is, we will not know until later, if there is a result, I will invite you to negotiate again, what do you think?"

Xia Yu and Song Bo looked at each other calmly, and after a while, they smiled and said lightly: "That's the truth, then Old Man Song might as well think about it first and ask for other people's opinions." ”

"But ......"

Hearing these two words, Song Bo frowned, and said calmly: "Mr. Xia might as well say it directly!"

Xia Yu said in a joking tone: "I don't think Old Man Song and Brother Song should put me in an embarrassment, right?"

Song Bo immediately shook his head and said: "Absolutely not, this Mr. Xia can rest assured, I still have the least integrity, and Zhicheng is not a talkative person." ”

Xia Yu laughed, picked up the teacup and said, "Haha, Master Song is bright, I still believe this." ”

After drinking tea, Xia Yu got up and said at the same time: "Old man Song, I suddenly remembered that there was something else, so I will go back first, and I will talk about it next time!"

"What are you talking about, Mr. Xia is always welcome to come!"

"I'll send you!"

......

After seeing Xia Yu's car leave, Song Bo and his son returned to the living room, their faces were very solemn, even a little ugly, and the atmosphere in the living room was a little dull.

Song Zhicheng sighed secretly and said: "Dad, this Xia Yu should be eyeing the Swire Consortium after Hutchison Whampoa and the Jardine Matheson Consortium, maybe it won't be long before there will be a struggle, I don't know if the chances of the Swire Consortium are big......"

Song Bo pondered for a long time, shook his head and said: "It's hard to say, after all, Xia Yu and his Jiuding Consortium are relatively hidden, and no one knows his true strength." ”

"And the Swire Consortium is also different from the Hutchison Whampoa and Jardine Matheson Consortium, Norman Shi Yahuai has long been guarding against this day, otherwise Xia Yu would not be us this morning, it is not that the Shi Yahuai family is very close in the control of the company, Xia Yu is difficult to use the means to deal with Hutchison Whampoa and the Jardine Matheson Foundation, so he can only find a way to break through the fortress of the Swire Consortium from the inside. ”

......

Just when Song Bo and Song Zhicheng were concentrating on the discussion, Song Bo's third son Song Zhiming, who had been too excited last night and had not completely sobered up, came back from outside, and after greeting his father Song Bo and second brother Song Zhicheng, he ignored his father's dark face and went upstairs directly.

It's just that in the process of walking, Song Zhiming heard some conversations between his father and his second brother.

As he ascended the stairs, he slowed down slightly and listened a little more......
