"My second reason was to ask HSBC to help me buy a stake in the South China Morning Post. ”

Then, Xia Yu said the second purpose, this is also a business, and it is necessary to pay a certain commission to let the bank assist in the acquisition, presumably Shen Bi will not refuse.

Sure enough, Shen Bi said without hesitation: "No problem, HSBC will definitely be able to do it." ”

Xia Yu came to send money to HSBC, and Shen Bi naturally accepted it without hesitation, as for whether the acquisition would be difficult?

Shen Bi can confidently say that in Xiangjiang, if HSBC can't help buy a company, it will be even more difficult for others to do it, which is HSBC's self-confidence as the emperor of Xiangjiang Finance.

"Xia Sheng, besides that, I wonder if you have any other needs?"

Shen Bi, who was in a good mood, saw that Xia Yu seemed to have something to say, so he took the initiative to provoke the topic, wanting to know if Xia Yu still had any business.

Now that the bait has been given to Shen Bi, the next thing is easy to mention, with this loan, it is easier for Shen Bi to loosen his mouth.

"One more thing, I heard that HSBC has a 32% stake in the South China Morning Post, and I want to buy it. ”

After speaking, Xia Yu looked at Shen Bi with blazing eyes.

Hearing Xia Yu's words, looking at Xia Yu with a smile on his face, a glimmer of light flashed in Shen Bi's eyes, and his smile slowly converged.

He said that Xia Yu, who was not short of money, how could he come to take out a loan at the end of the day, at first he thought that he was short of funds for the acquisition, and he also wanted to use HSBC's energy to complete the acquisition.

But now it seems that the real goal is to want a 32% stake in HSBC.

There are so many companies that HSBC has holdings in that it is impossible for Shen Bi to remember them all, especially a small company like the South China Morning Post, so he did not know that HSBC had a 32% stake in the South China Morning Post.

But since Xia Yu said so, then there must be something, presumably Xia Yu has already investigated it clearly.

Now Xia Yu wants to buy the South China Morning Post, HSBC is a hurdle that cannot be bypassed, if HSBC does not sell, then even if Xia Yu buys the remaining 68% of the shares, it still cannot be forced to delist, there is no way to privatize.

Thinking about it this way, Xia Yu first threw out two baits to get him to promise to sell 32% of HSBC's shares to him.

Shen Bi guessed in his heart that if he didn't agree to sell to Xia Yu, then the first and second businesses he had negotiated before would probably end up in vain.

Thinking of this, Shen Bi smiled in his heart, Xia Yu had good intentions in order to successfully acquire the South China Morning Post.

Of course, because Shen Bi did not know the composition of the shares of the South China Morning Post, he did not guess Xia Yu's other intention, that is, to borrow HSBC's hand to help buy, which Shen Bi did not expect, in his heart, he thought that Xia Yu asked HSBC to help with the acquisition in order to let HSBC loosen up and sell shares.

However, even if he guessed Xia Yu's plan, Shen Bi didn't want to knock Xia Yu, there was no need for this, "South China Morning Post" was not a big company, he didn't believe that if he didn't buy "South China Morning Post", Jiuding Newspaper Company would lose a lot, so he couldn't offend Xia Yu for this.

What's more, the South China Morning Post is useless in the hands of HSBC, so it is better to sell him a favor.

Thinking of this, Shen Bi looked at Xia Yu with blazing eyes, and said with a smile: "No problem, I agreed." ”

"Thank you Shen Shengquan!"

Xia Yu said gratefully, and then stretched out his hand to Shen Bi, and Shen Bi naturally stretched out his hand and shook Xia Yu to show that he had reached a cooperation intention.

"It should be me who thanks Xia Sheng for the business he gave to HSBC, haha!"

Shen Bi said with a smile, the sedan chair carries people, and the words of holding people are the most cost-free, so naturally it is better to say.

"Shen Sheng, my company still has something to do, so I won't bother more, I will ask Yan Wenhan, the general manager of Jiuding Newspaper Company, to come over later, please arrange for a subordinate to talk to him." ”

After speaking, Xia Yu picked up the cup again, drank all the tea in the cup, and then stood up.

Shen Bi's time is precious, and he doesn't know the situation of the "South China Morning Post", so it is naturally impossible to negotiate with Xia Yu, and it is best to leave this kind of matter to their respective subordinates, as long as they are at the helm of their respective companies, as long as they set the general direction.

"Xia Sheng, I'll send you!"

"Thank you!"

......

After leaving HSBC, Xia Yu immediately returned to Jiuding Newspaper Company, informed Yan Wenhan of the situation that he had been waiting for a long time, and then explained the precautions for negotiation, and then asked Yan Wenhan to go to HSBC.

And Xia Yu didn't stay long, driving to Jiuding Securities, where he needed to arrange for someone to buy shares in the South China Morning Post on the stock market.

After coming to Jiuding Securities Company, in the greetings of the employees, Xia Yu found Wang Qi, who was analyzing the stock market at the Securities Research Center.

"Boss, you're here!"

Wang Qi said to the people inside, then hurriedly ran to Xia Yu and said respectfully.

Xia Yu bowed his head slightly, and then went straight to the point: "I will give you a task, buy the shares of the "South China Morning Post" on the stock market, and then transfer it to Jiuding Newspaper Company, how much money is spent, Yan Wenhan will call." ”

"Okay!"

Wang Qi immediately responded.

After getting Xia Yu's order, Wang Qi immediately took action.

Yan Wenhan, who went to HSBC to negotiate, because the cooperation intention had been set, and he received Xia Yu's order, the price could be relaxed, and he could directly open a premium of 20% to acquire the shares in the hands of HSBC.

And Shen Bi also attached more importance to the relationship with Xia Yu, so he also said something to his subordinates, which led to the afternoon negotiation almost amicably, and promised a premium of 20%, and 32% of the shares were valued at 3.9 million Hong Kong dollars.

The promised loan of 20 million Hong Kong dollars was also released immediately after the negotiations, and then HSBC quickly arranged for someone to buy the shares in the hands of other shareholders.

In addition to the acquisition of the South China Morning Post on the right track, Yan Wenhan did not rest that night, but completed the acquisition of the "Daily Daily".

After the acquisition of "Tiantian Daily", Yan Wenhan directly arranged the rectification and takeover to a subordinate, because he was going to fly to Singapore the next day to negotiate the acquisition of "Sin Chew Daily".

Three days later, Yan Wenhan returned to the company in good spirits, and after seeing Xia Yu, the smile on his face could not be concealed at all.

"Boss, I'm back!"

Yan Wenhan said with a smile.

"Good job!

Xia Yu patted Yan Wenhan's hand and said appreciatively, hearing Yan Wenhan's smile become brighter and brighter.

"Come, sit down, and talk to me about the situation. ”

"Okay, boss, here'...... the situation"

After sitting down, Yan Wenhan began to speak, talking about his happiness, and couldn't help but dance with his eyebrows.

Xia Yu nodded again and again when he heard this, and the look of appreciation on his face was undisguised.

Although Yan Wenhan had already informed the general situation on the phone, now after listening to Yan Wenhan talk about the specific details, Xia Yu has a deeper understanding.

Yan Wenhan did not live up to his high expectations.

After taking over Nanyang Siang Pau, Gan Manhan quickly invested in the acquisition of Sin Chew Daily.

After a series of fierce battles, the wholly-owned acquisition of Sin Chew Daily was finally completed, costing a total of HK$11 million.

"By the way, boss, the editor-in-chief and president of Nanyang Siang Pau and Sin Chew Daily have followed me to Xiangjiang, and now I have arranged for me to meet them at the Kowloon Hotel, when will you have time to meet them?"

After finishing speaking, Yan Wenhan calmed down a little, thought of the people who came with him, and then asked Xia Yu.

"I just have time now, let's go meet them. ”

Xia Yu raised his eyebrows, and stood up after speaking.

"Okay, come with me!"

After speaking, Yan Wenhan took Xia Yu to the Kowloon Hotel.
