Rebirth of the Strongest Tycoon

"My second purpose is to ask HSBC to help me acquire the shares of the South China Morning Post."

Then, Xia Yu said the second purpose, which is also a business. To ask the bank to assist in the acquisition, it is necessary to pay a certain commission. 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 the acquisition, will it be difficult?

Shen Bi can confidently say that in Heungkong, if HSBC cannot help acquire a company, it will be even more difficult for others to do so.

"Xia Sheng, apart from this, do you have any other needs?"

When Shen Bi was in a good mood, seeing that Xia Yu seemed to have something to say, he took the initiative to stir up the topic and wanted to know if Xia Yu had any business.

Now that the bait has been given to Shen Bi, the next thing will be easy to mention. With this loan, it is easier for Shen Bi to let go.

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

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

Hearing Xia Yu's words, looking at Xia Yu with a smile, a gleam of light flashed in Shen Bi's eyes, and his smile slowly faded.

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

But now it seems that wanting the 32% stake in HSBC is the real purpose.

There are too many companies in which HSBC holds shares. It is impossible for Shen Bi to remember them all, especially for a small company like the South China Morning Post, so he did not know that HSBC holds 32% of the shares of the South China Morning Post.

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

Now Xia Yu wants to acquire the "South China Morning Post", HSBC is a hurdle that cannot be bypassed. If HSBC does not sell, then even if Xia Yu acquires the remaining 68% of the shares, he still cannot be forced to delist. There is no way to privatize.

Thinking about it this way, Xia Yu first threw two lures, just to get him to agree to sell him 32% of HSBC's shares.

With Shen Bi's heart guessing,

If you don't agree to sell it to Xia Yu, then the first and second businesses that were negotiated before will most likely end without a hitch.

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

Of course, because Shen Bi didn't know the structure of the South China Morning Post's shares, he didn't guess Xia Yu's other intention, which was to use HSBC to help in the acquisition. This was something Shen Bi didn't expect. In his heart, He thought that Xia Yu asked HSBC to help with the acquisition in order to let HSBC sell shares.

But even if he guessed Xia Yu's plan, Shen Bi didn't want to knock Xia Yu. There's no need for it. The South China Morning Post is not a big company. If he doesn't believe or buy the South China Morning Post, Jiuding Newspaper Company will There is so much loss, so I can't blame Xia Yu for this.

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

Thinking of this, Shen Bi looked at Xia Yu with bright eyes, and said with a smile, "No problem, I promise."

"Thank you Shen Chengquan!"

Xia Yu said gratefully, and then stretched out his hand to Shen Bi, and Shen Bi also naturally reached out and shook hands with Xia Yu to show the intention of cooperation.

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

Shen Bi said with a smile, if a person in a sedan chair carries a person, it costs the least to hold a person, so it's better to say it naturally.

"Shen Sheng, I have something to do with my company, so I won't bother you any 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 stood up.

Shen Bi's time is precious, and he doesn't know the situation of the "South China Morning Post". Naturally, it is impossible to negotiate with Xia Yu. It is best to leave this kind of matter to their respective subordinates. As the helm of their respective companies, they only need to set a general direction. That's it.

"Xia Sheng, I'll send it to you!"

"thanks!"

...

After leaving HSBC, Xia Yu immediately returned to Jiuding Newspaper Company, informed Yan Wenhan, who had been waiting for a long time, about the situation. After explaining the precautions for negotiation, he asked Yan Wenhan to go to HSBC.

And Xia Yu didn't stay long, and drove to Jiuding Securities Company. He needed to arrange for someone to buy the shares of "South China Morning Post" in the stock market.

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

"Boss, you are here!"

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

Xia Yu nodded lightly, then went straight to the subject and said, "I'll give you a task, to acquire the shares of the South China Morning Post in the stock market, and then transfer it to Jiuding Newspaper Company, how much money is spent, Yan Wenhan will call over ."

"OK!"

Wang Qi responded immediately.

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

Yan Wenhan, who went to HSBC to negotiate, received Xia Yu's order because the cooperation intention has been set. The price can be relaxed, and he directly offered to buy HSBC's stock at a premium of 20%.

And Shen Bi also paid more attention to the relationship with Xia Yu, so he also said something to his subordinates. As a result, the negotiation in the afternoon was almost peaceful, and he agreed to a premium of 20%, and 32% of the shares were valued at 3.9 million Hong Kong dollars.

The agreed loan of 20 million Hong Kong dollars was released immediately after the negotiation. After that, HSBC quickly arranged for someone to acquire the stocks in the hands of other shareholders.

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

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

Three days later, Yan Wenhan returned to the company in high spirits. After seeing Xia Yu, the smile on his face could not be concealed.

"Boss, I'm back!"

Yan Wenhan said with a smile.

"Good job! Thank you very much!"

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

"Come, sit down, and tell me the specific situation."

"Okay, boss, the situation is like this..."

After sitting down, Yan Wenhan began to talk, talking about the joy, and couldn't help but be excited.

Xia Yu nodded again and again, the expression of admiration on his face was undisguised.

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

Yan Wenhan did not live up to his high hopes.

After taking over "Nanyang Siang Pau", Yan Wenhan quickly invested in the acquisition of "Sin Chew Daily".

After a series of fierce confrontations, the wholly-owned acquisition of Sin Chew Daily was finally completed, costing a total of 11 million Hong Kong dollars.

"By the way, boss, the editor-in-chief and president of "Nanyang Siang Pau" and "Sin Chew Daily" have followed me to Hong Kong. Now I have arranged for me to go to the Kowloon Hotel. When do you have time to meet them?"

After speaking, Yan Wenhan calmed down a little, thought about the people who followed him, and then asked Xia Yu.

"It happens that I have time now, so let's meet them."

Xia Yu raised his brows and stood up after speaking.

"Okay, come with me!"

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