Chapter 446: Breakthrough Point
"Cao Shao, I am sincere in talking to you about business, and you have no point in continuing to beat around the bush with me. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info”
A few days later, Ye Jingcheng met with Cao Jiadao, the third shareholder of the Overseas Trust Bank, at a private banquet. Of course, the meeting between the two could not be a coincidence, but Ye Jingcheng specially inquired about the news.
Speaking of which, this Cao Jiadao is still related to the second shareholder Cao Yao, that is, a nephew of the same clan as him, as for the relationship between the two families......
Let's put it this way, under the influence of money and snobbery, I am afraid that my brothers do not have pure brotherhood. People's hearts are not ancient, and how many wealthy families have become torn apart because of the competition for family property.
"Ye Shao, overseas trust is the most important business of my father during his lifetime, even if I don't have the ability to further develop it, it is impossible to transfer this equity to you rashly." Cao Jiadao politely refused.
"Cao Shao, you can make a price." Ye Jingcheng said with a look of wealth. How many of the other party's words just now are true and some are false, Ye Jingcheng is not clear and not interested in knowing.
From the preliminary conversation between the two just now, Ye Jingcheng already has a certain understanding of Cao Jiadao, first of all, Cao Jiadao's personal attitude, which is not as tough as he said, but with a hesitation in consideration.
The reason why he rejected his willingness to buy twice was not necessarily because he wanted to stick to his father's family business, but also because he was making a show for himself and then bargaining with him.
Regarding the equity in Cao Jiadao's hands, Ye Jingcheng is bound to come over this time, so he is not afraid of the other party's thoughts. On the contrary, if this is really the case, it can save him a lot of effort.
Secondly, Ye Jingcheng took the initiative to talk to him about this matter, so naturally it was impossible not to be prepared at all. As for what kind of character Cao Jiadao is, he knows very well what his weaknesses and shortcomings are.
Don't look at this son's well-dressed brother, in fact, his private life is very erosive, prostitution, gambling, drinking, slutting, blowing, a five-good young man who has completely accounted for everything, he has absolutely no way to maintain it by his own ability alone, and now it is unknown how much money he uses in the family.
"Ye Shao, I'm still the same sentence......" Cao Jiadao still wanted to refuse.
"Five hundred million." Ye Jingcheng directly offered the price.
The price offered by Ip King-shing is based on the price at which the Hong Kong government will use the Exchange Fund to take over the overseas trust in the future, and the price for the full acquisition is close to 3 billion. And Cao Jiadao holds 17% of the shares of overseas trusts, which is almost the same.
Although, the current market price of overseas trusts is far more than 3 billion. However, the banking industry is different from other industries, and it does not mean that its market value is large and it needs a large amount of money to acquire.
To put it bluntly, a bank is nothing more than a turnover station for funds, and there are not many assets in it. Its greatest value is reflected in the working capital, as well as the inflow and outflow of various businesses.
As if in the current situation, some bank directors who are burdened with bad debts and fake debts, they still hope that someone will take over this mess, and the price offered may only be one-third of the market value, or even only hundreds of millions of working capital to close the deal.
A bank with no liquidity, no matter how big its value is, is virtual, and only the money is real in your own hands.
"Ye Shao, you make it difficult for me to explain to my family like this." Cao Jiadao changed from his original insistence to a temptation of Ye Jingcheng, wanting to test his bottom line.
"Cao Shao, insatiable greed is not a good habit." Ye Jingcheng narrowed his eyes and said: "I don't say what the current situation of overseas trusts is better than you know, but I have also found someone to investigate some things that should be known." ”
Cao Jiadao glanced at Ye Jingcheng a few times, and fell into contemplation for a while. What is the situation of the bank now, he, the shareholder, must be the first person to know.
What he needs to ponder now is not whether Ye Jingcheng really knows the inside story, but how much Ye Jingcheng knows. Whether you know only about the superficial crisis of the bank, or whether you have an in-depth understanding of all the problems involved in the bank.
No matter how much Ye Jingcheng knows or not, one of the inevitable problems is that the overseas trust has indeed fallen into a round of crisis, and the chance of successfully surviving it is not great.
Now Ye Jingcheng hinted to him that he is letting go of the shares of overseas trusts now, which is not necessarily a bad thing in nature, and it can also be used to avoid involvement.
What's more, Ye Jingcheng's price is also very fair, in other words, his uncle and Zhang Mingtian, who want to snatch the shares in his hand, may not sit down with him so kindly and talk, and it is already a fluke not to secretly stumble on him.
"Ye Sheng, there is still a dinner in thirty minutes that needs you to be there." At this time, Li Zhi, who followed Ye Jingcheng over, reminded Ye Jingcheng as a secretary.
"Who do you want to meet?" Ye Jingcheng turned his head and asked Li Zhi behind him.
Li Zhi flipped through the small notebook and said seriously: "It's Liao Liewen from Liao Chong Hing Bank, and Li Guobao from the Bank of East Asia also asked you to meet in the same place." ”
"Well, let's go." Ye Jingcheng stood up directly, looked a little ignorant of Cao Jiadao, and said coldly: "Cao Shao, since you still have concerns about this matter, then we will make an appointment to talk about it in the future, and now I still have something to take the lead."
Ye Jingcheng changed so quickly that it was confirmed that Cao Jiadao was a little caught off guard. Just now he thought that Ye Jingcheng was bound to win the shares in his hands, but now it doesn't seem to be the case.
Cao Jiadao's mentality did not change for a while, so he immediately exposed his thoughts. He hurriedly chased after him, stopped Ye Jingcheng and said, "Ye Shao! Don't be in such a hurry. Anyway, it's just a matter of a few words, so it's better to sit down and talk before leaving. ”
Regardless of whether Ye Jingcheng was acting in front of him or not, he specially instructed the secretary to remind him in advance. But judging from Ye Jingcheng's attitude, he definitely has a second-hand plan.
is also a banking operator, and it is on Hong Kong Island. The overseas trust represented by Cao Jiadao has had business handovers with Liao Chong Hing Bank and Bank of East Asia from time to time.
The Bank of East Asia has a deeper background than the Overseas Trust Bank, and even if the Hong Kong government's new policies are also affected this time, the situation is still under their control, so Cao Jiadao is not worried that it will be acquired by Yip.
However, if the object is switched to Liao Chong Hing Bank, the current situation of this bank may not be much better than that of overseas trusts.
If Ye Jingcheng really plans to acquire, there is no chance of success. To say that the only trouble is that the shares of this bank are relatively scattered, and Ye Jingcheng needs to hand them over one by one.
"Cao Shao, I really have other things." Just now, Cao Jiadao was still fearless. Now, revealing his immature mind all at once, it will be Ye Jingcheng's turn to give him a look.
"Ye Shao, you just want to buy a bank. Now that we've got to this point, why not take a few more minutes to finish. Cao Jiadao said anxiously.
"That'...... All right. Ye Jingcheng hesitated for a moment, and reluctantly sat up.
