347.

At noon the next day, escorted by several younger brothers of the American branch of the Lutheran Society, Su Siqi's father returned to Hong Kong Island.

Su Junbo looked like he was in his early 40s, but his temples were already a little white. His appearance is somewhat similar to Su Siqi, and it is not difficult to see that he should be very handsome when he was young, but at the moment he looks a little depressed and a little decadent.

"Mr. Su, I'm sorry I didn't tell you in advance and took you back to Hong Kong Island directly." Mo Shaokun smiled apologetically at Su Junbo.

"Mr. Mo was polite, to be honest, I was a little scared when those people came to the hospital and took me away directly, and I thought that the creditors couldn't wait and wanted to trouble me. It wasn't until I got on the plane that they told me that someone wanted to invest in my company and asked me to come back to Hong Kong Island to negotiate. At first I was a little unconvinced, but now it seems to be true. "Su Junbo used to be a rich man with a net worth of more than 100 million US dollars, even if he is now down, but his bearing is quite extraordinary.

"On the one hand, I don't have time to go to the United States for the time being, and on the other hand, your daughter has been feeling a little unwell recently and is recuperating on Hong Kong Island, so I think it may be better to let your father and daughter be together."

Hearing Mo Shaokun's words, Su Junbo's face changed slightly, and he asked a little eagerly: "Does Mr. Mo know Siqi?" She...... What's wrong with her? ”

"Hehe, Mr. Su, don't be nervous, Siqi and I are friends, she was injured a little but it was fine, and she could recover after a period of recuperation. When we finish talking about cooperation, I will ask someone to take Miss Siqi over, and your father and daughter will be here to recuperate during this time, and they can also have a good reunion. Mo Shaokun chuckled.

Su Junbo frowned slightly, and said with a hint of worry between his eyebrows: "I didn't expect Mr. Mo to know the little girl, no wonder Mr. Mo would find me." Alas, it's all useless for me to be a father, she was supposed to study at Harvard, but something like this happened at home...... I owe it to her. ”

"Mr. Su, don't say that, okay, let's talk about cooperation first, and you can reunite with Siqi as soon as possible after talking about it earlier."

Su Junbo nodded, but was obviously a little absent-minded.

"I need to know the specifics of your company."

Su Junbo was silent for a moment and said, "SQ was founded in the year Siqi was born, and at its peak, we helped hundreds of customers manage more than $2 billion in funds. However, because of one of my investment mistakes, the company is now on the verge of bankruptcy, and if I can't pay off my debts within a year, the company will be forced to go bankrupt. ”

"How much foreign debt does SQ have now?"

"$13.5 million."

Mo Shaokun nodded, thinking slightly in his heart, he said: "I heard that Mr. Su has been looking for someone to cooperate with in the United States, can you tell me about your cooperation ideas?" ”

"I need someone to help me pay off my debts, and for that I am willing to give up to 50 percent of the company's shares in exchange."

Mo Shaokun didn't speak, but he was thinking in his heart. It is very cost-effective to exchange $13.5 million for 50% of the shares at the most glorious time of SQ, but the investment company has always focused on performance and reputation, and the failure of this investment has made SQ's reputation plummet, and at this time, $13.5 million for 50% of the shares is a bit uneconomical in the eyes of many people.

"And the result? Would anyone like to work with you? Mo Shaokun asked quietly.

Su Junbo smiled bitterly and shook his head: "No, they think that my company is not worth the price, and they think that the company is already like this, even after paying off the debt, I am afraid it will be difficult to develop." Americans are very pragmatic, and a single major investment failure will keep customers away from SQ, so they don't think it's a wise choice to invest in such a company. ”

Lighting a cigarette and taking a deep breath, Mo Shaokun was silent for a long time before turning to look at Su Junbo and said, "I have an idea, I don't know if Mr. Su is interested in hearing it?" ”

"Mr. Mo, please speak."

"$30 million, I want 100% of SQ's equity!"

Su Junbo looked at Mo Shaokun stupidly, and after a while, he sneered and said, "Mr. Mo wants to wholly acquire SQ?" ”

"Yes."

"Impossible! SQ was created by my wife and me, and I'm not going to sell it! If I had been willing to sell I'd done it a long time ago, and although SQ is now sunset, I'm sure there will still be people interested in him. Su Junbo shook his head and said.

Mo Shaokun chuckled and said, "I think Mr. Su, you are still too idealistic, what you should do now is to face reality." SQ is already like this, if you can't find a source of money then he will go bankrupt and your and your wife's hard work will still be in vain. ”

"There is still a year to go, and if I can't find someone willing to inject capital within a year, maybe I will consider selling him, but definitely not now!" Su Junbo frowned slightly.

"Hehe, Mr. Su, you are a smart person, you should understand that with SQ's current situation, no one will give this price except me. SQ, which is already notorious in the investment world in the eyes of others, has no value, so why should they buy it back? Offered? No one is stupid, no one will buy a company that has no hope of profitability. ”

Su Junbo wanted to refute, but he understood that Mo Shaokun was right, even if Zuihou could sell it, the price would definitely be very low.

"Besides, if you sell SQ to someone else, then SQ really becomes someone else's child and has nothing to do with you anymore. But if you sell it to me, I can promise that as long as you don't make any major mistakes, you will be in charge of SQ in the future, and you can continue to raise him as a child. Of course, I won't let you do it for nothing, I will give you five percent of the shares as compensation. ”

Su Junbo could feel the sincerity in Mo Shaokun's words, but he was a little puzzled, Mo Shaokun knew very well what the future of SQ was, even with the injection of funds, I am afraid it would be difficult to recover in the future, and the reason why he was unwilling to abandon SQ was because it was his and his wife's hard work. But what reason does Mo Shaokun have to want to get SQ?

"Mr. Mo, I don't understand that you weishenme will be interested in SQ? I can honestly tell you that even I am not optimistic about the future prospects of SQ. ”

Mo Shaokun chuckled and said: "You are not optimistic about SQ's prospects because you are doing someone else's business, SQ has this major mistake, which will make customers lose confidence in him, and the future prospects will naturally not be optimistic." But I'm different, I didn't expect him to make money by buying SQ, I needed a company that could serve me alone. So it doesn't matter to me whether SQ has customers or not in the future. ”

Su Junbo understood, but he was even more puzzled in his heart.

"You can set up your own investment company to serve you, why would weishenme spend so much money to acquire SQ? $30 million is not a small amount. ”

"There are only two reasons, first, Siqi and I are friends, I saw her dedication for your family, after all, she is just a girl under 20 years old, I don't want her to have a hard time because she has to pay off her family's debts. Second, I think you're worth the price, I've seen your past investment record, and you've only had a handful of failures over the past ten years, and you're an investor with a high success rate, and although your reputation has been damaged by this investment failure, I know it's not a matter of your ability. ”

In fact, there is another very important reason, Mo Shaokun did not say, the United States' attitude towards Huaxia everyone knows, if Mo Shaokun establishes a new company to invest in American companies, this will definitely attract the attention of the United States, and when the time comes, I am afraid that he will not be able to penetrate many industries.

SQ is different, he has a history of 19 years in the United States, and the supervision of local enterprises in the United States has always been relatively lax, as long as no one knows that SQ has changed owners, then its investment in the United States is obviously much more convenient than the establishment of a new company!
