Seeing that the matter was opened, Qi Dezun squinted slightly, took a sip of the most classic afternoon tea of the Peninsula Hotel, and then slowly looked up at Huo Yaowen, at this moment he no longer regarded the other party as a writer, but as a businessman.

"Mr. Huo, no matter what, I don't think that 33% of the shares of Hutchison & Co. are only worth 150 million, if that's the case, I might as well choose HSBC, at least they have the absolute ability to lend to us, and I and HSBC's Shen Bi were the same soldiers who enlisted in the army back then, and later they were stationed in India together and then moved to Hong Kong. ”

"No, you won't. ”

Without waiting for the other party to finish speaking, Huo Yaowen shook his head slightly and interrupted Qi Dezun's words, before agreeing to go to the appointment, he had already understood the acquisition conditions between HSBC and Hutchison Foreign Bank.

"Why not? Although it is presumptuous, I don't think that Mr. Huo, you have the ability to come up with billions at once. Qi Dezun wondered why the other party was so sure that he would not choose to cooperate with HSBC.

"I can't come up with billions at once, and I can't compare to the big business of HSBC Bankers, but Mr. Qi..."

Huo Yaowen paused, and then said in a changed voice: "Do you really want HSBC to take a stake in Hutchison & Co., and then sweep you out of the board of directors like garbage (Lese), and then say to the shareholders outside who don't know the situation, Hutchison's current situation is caused by you, the inactive chairman?"

Hearing the other party compare himself to garbage, Qi Dezun couldn't help clenching his fists and glaring at him!

Although his angry expression was very exciting, it did not affect Huo Yaowen at all, if it was a few months ago, he might not have said it so bluntly, but now in this case, Hutchison Foreign Company does not accept the help of foreign funds, there is definitely only one way to go, and that is bankruptcy and liquidation.

And Qi Dezun's decades of hard work will also be ruined, and then he returned to England like a lost dog, and honestly took the rest of the money to be a manor or a farmer to spend his old age in peace.

If you don't want to go bankrupt and liquidate and choose to cooperate with HSBC, then Qi Dezun will also be taken down and become a powerful figure who can't even enter the board of directors and has been in charge of Hutchison Foreign Bank for more than 20 years.

This feeling, for a brilliant person like Qi Dezun, is not only a great shame, but also has the heart to commit suicide!

This is also why, in the original history, Qi Dezun was forced to agree to HSBC's shareholding, and then he was taken down and ran back to the UK directly.

He has no face to continue to stay in Hong Kong!

Then because of this great shame, Qi Dezun, who has been pampered for more than 20 years, died of illness at the age of 63, which is still young!

You must know that this is not a past era, with today's medical technology, as long as it is not terminal cancer, almost all rich people can hang their lives and live a few more years.

Although Qi Dezun died of illness, he was not excluded from the board of directors of Hutchison, which caused some knots in his heart, which made him depressed in his later years.

"I can buy the shares of Hutchison & Co. at a price 30% higher than HSBC, and at the same time, I will contact Citibank and Royal Bank of Scotland to jointly lend to Hutchison & Co. at a low interest rate. ”

Speaking of this, Huo Yaowen looked at Qi Dezun and said: "As for Mr. Qi, the position of chairman of the board of directors will definitely be removed, but I will continue to retain the seat of the board of directors, and if I succeed in becoming a shareholder, I will also convene a board of directors to nominate Mr. Qi as the permanent honorary chairman of the board of directors of Hutchison & Co." ”

Hearing this, Qi Dezun frowned and began to think deeply, should he agree or not?

This chip is actually not very high, not only is the price higher than HSBC's bid, but the purchase price has risen from 150 million to 180 million. And in the matter of borrowing, there is also a little more trouble, not only to borrow money from Citibank, but also to find the Royal Bank of Scotland, which is equivalent to finding a bank to borrow money, from one trouble to two troubles.

But despite this, Qi Dezun's heart is still a little biased towards Huo Yaowen, this is not an extra 30 million Hong Kong dollars, but the two conditions of board seats and honorary chairman.

As Huo Yaowen said before, Hutchison has reached the point of life and death, even if Qi Dezun is unwilling to accept HSBC's condition to let him step down, the board of directors will definitely hold a meeting to unite all directors to impeach himself and force him to step down, in exchange for HSBC's shares and loans.

In this case, Qi Dezun is powerless, all he can do at the moment is to plan the greatest benefit for himself, Huo Yaowen has increased the acquisition price, and he can also share a little more, and the loan does not seem to be a problem depending on the other party, so his remaining shares in Hutchison are also a little guaranteed.

The most important thing is that Fok Yaowen is not as shameless as HSBC, he promised not to remove himself from the board of directors, and become a shareholder who only has shares and does not interfere with any power in the company.

This condition is much better than HSBC!

Qi Dezun's face turned red and white, and after thinking for a long time, he pursed his lips lightly, as if he had made up his mind, and raised his head and asked, "Are you sure that Citibank and Royal Bank of Scotland are willing to lend us?"

Hearing this, Huo Yaowen grinned, at this moment he understood that Qi Dezun should have agreed in his heart, which couldn't help but make him breathe a sigh of relief, "Of course, I still have a lot of assets in these two banks, and I think they are happy to earn this interest." ”

Don't look at more than 10 or 2 billion Hong Kong dollars, it seems to be a lot, but when converted into US dollars, it is only 300 million or 400 million, and when converted into pounds, it is even less.

This little money is like a drop in the bucket for Citibank and the Royal Bank of Scotland, plus almost all of Huo Yaowen's manuscript fees and all the money he makes overseas are deposited in these two banks, which is not much every year, and the money earned by just the manuscript fee and a few newspapers must be 10 million US dollars.

Coupled with the magic snacks in cooperation with the British Mars company, this cash cow that can bring millions of pounds to Huo Yaowen almost every year, and under various conditions, hundreds of millions of dollars in loans, in Huo Yaowen's opinion, these two banks will definitely agree.

"Okay!" Qi Dezun gritted his teeth, nodded and agreed: "As long as Mr. Huo can bring you a loan, then I will agree to your conditions as the chairman of the board of directors of Hutchison Bank, but I hope you can find the heads of these two banks as soon as possible, and finally at the board meeting next Monday!"

After saying this, Qi Dezun's tense nerves seemed to be relieved all of a sudden, and he subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief, completely forgetting that a few months ago, he resolutely did not want to be a traitor, or Baba agreed to Huo Yaowen to join Hutchison Foreign Company.

"No problem, I will contact these two banks as soon as possible to send the heads to Hong Kong, but before we do it again, I think we should sign the contract first. ”

Huo Yaowen counted the days, and there were only four or five days left until next Monday, although the time was relatively urgent, it was still enough to contact the two banks for loans.
