v3 Chapter 988: 2 ways, British or Chinese? (1/2)
Song Bo frowned and thought for a moment, then sighed and said embarrassedly: ”Mr. Xia, you have caused a big problem for me.”
”Your words are reasonable, but they are not applicable to any situation. It just happens that the situation of my Song family is quite special.”
Song Zhicheng also echoed: ”Yes, Mr. Xia, you make us very embarrassed!”
Xia Yu said with a smile: ”What is embarrassing, we all know in business, everything has a value, as long as the price is right, it can be sold, 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.”
”Our Song family has cooperated with the Shi Yahuai family for decades. In many Swire Group companies, our Song family has equity, 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, we will be betraying our old friends. This is unjust for us.”
”Furthermore, the Shi Yahuai family is far superior to our Song family. If our Song family sells Cathay Pacific's equity to you, the Shi Yahuai family will lose Cathay Pacific Airways.”
”They have nothing to do with you, but they can retaliate against our Song family. By then, our losses in other areas will be hard to estimate, and may be higher than the value of Cathay Pacific's equity.”
Just as Song Zhicheng said these words in a series, Song Bo showed an unhappy expression and yelled: ”Zhicheng.”
Song Zhicheng just smiled and did not continue.
Song Bo apologized and said to Xia Yu: ”Mr. Xia, Zhicheng is straight-forward, but has no other meaning, just objectively state the facts.”
”Actually, you should have heard that there has been a saying that my Song family was supported by foreigners, and it can only rise step by step by relying on the Taikoo consortium.”
”Although I don't like to hear these words, and they are not pertinent, but if I have not received the help of Shi Yahuai's family, then it must be a lie.”
”As you know, whether our Song family is in the Xiangjiang Swire Group or Swire Co., Ltd., although it is a shareholder, the proportion of shares is not high. It can only be said to be average. It is not comparable to the Shi Yahuai family. If it is offended They, then the situation of my Song family is dangerous.”
Speaking of this, Song Bo saw that Xia Yu’s face seemed a little bad, and he solemnly said: “Mr. Xia, it’s not that I don’t give you face. If it’s equity that has nothing to do with the Taikoo consortium, as long as you say it, I agree without saying anything, and I am willing to sell at a loss.”
Ha ha!
The words are so open and bright, but in fact they are all bullshit. Who knows what to say in the scene?
Xia Yu sneered in his heart, but looked straight at Song Bo, and slowly said: ”Master Song, I know your old difficulties. Of course I also know that you are humble. The strength of the Song family is obvious to all, and Shi Yahuai There are many enemies in the family. If I were Norman Shi Yahuai, I would never be so stupid that I would push the Song family to the opposite side!”
Seeing Song Zhicheng opened his mouth and wanted to speak, Xia Yu directly raised the volume, ignoring Song Zhicheng, staring at Song Bo, and said firmly: ”600 million, a one-time payment in pure cash, how do you always think of my sincerity! ”
Song Bo was taken aback, and his pupils shrank suddenly after a quick calculation in his heart, apparently surprised by Xia Yu's offer.
With Cathay Pacific’s valuation of 2.8 billion Hong Kong dollars, the 16% of the equity held by the Song family is worth 448 million Hong Kong dollars.
And Xia Yu's quotation is directly at a premium of more than 210 million Hong Kong dollars, which is not a big deal!
More importantly, Xia Yu directly promised to pay the cash in one lump sum, which shocked Song Bo even more and was shocked by Xia Yu's strength.
In the history of Hong Kong's business community, it is not that there is no precedent for buying equity and the company in one lump sum, but without exception, they are transactions of less value.
Generally, transactions of more than 100 million yuan are basically part of the down payment, and then the remaining money is paid in several times, and some even take two or three years; some are in the form of stocks + cash.
After all, everyone knows that the equity of a company only seems to be valuable, but no one can guarantee that a company can make money continuously, and it is hard to guarantee that it will fall into an operational crisis tomorrow.
Only the money in the pocket has real value!
As for the entire Xiangjiang, there are only a handful of people who can put out 660 million cash at a time. Anyway, his Song family does not have this strength.
For this price, Song Bo is tempted, not to mention Song Zhi's achievement.
It's just that Song Bo has the right to decide this matter, so Song Zhicheng looks at his father.
Song Bo was silent for a moment, and said with gratitude: ”Mr. Xia, I can really feel your sincerity.”
After saying this, his face changed again, turning into a tangled color and said, ”It's just...”
He just said two words, Xia Yu interrupted him without being polite and impolite, and said in a louder voice: ”Master Song, don't shirk so quickly. You might as well listen to me. What do you think? kind?”
Song Bo nodded and made a please gesture: ”Please speak!”
