Although he expected Li Laisheng to support him, Xia Yu couldn't help smiling when he saw his positive attitude.
With the support of the "Rubber King", his plan will be much easier to operate later.
He thanked: "Mr. Li, thank you for being so insightful and righteous. No wonder the career of the Li family is getting bigger and bigger!"
Li Laisheng smiled and said modestly: "Mr. Xia Liao praised, what you mentioned is a win-win thing, I should support it."
In a good mood, Li Laisheng asked, "By the way, Mr. Xia, what is the second thing you just said?"
Xia Yu pondered for a moment, and said solemnly, "Mr. Li, the second thing is that I hope you can accomplish one thing for me."
Li Laisheng smiled slightly, nodded slightly and said, "Mr. Xia, but it doesn't matter."
Xia Yu looked directly at Li Laisheng and said sincerely: "Mr. Li, as far as I know, your family’s Kepong Group holds 5.2% of the shares of Heungkang Taikoo Industrial Group. I hope you can endure the pain. , It is made for me! This equity is very important to me!"
Li Laisheng pondered for a moment, and a lot of information appeared in his mind.
Then he replied: "Mr. Xia, the origin of this equity is actually insider. I will tell you later."
"I want to ask, do you plan to acquire Swire Industrial Group as a wholly-owned subsidiary, or do you simply want to invest in shares?"
Xia Yu did not conceal it, nor did he think he could fool Li Laisheng, so he said frankly: "My purpose is very clear, which is to acquire Swire Industrial Group wholly."
"It's just that the Swire Consortium and the Shi Yahuai family have relatively strict control over the Swire Industrial Group. Therefore, in order to be as successful as possible, I need to acquire as much equity as possible before the attack, so I need your help!"
Speaking of this, Xia Yu paused for a moment and said sincerely again: "Mr. Li, Hong Kong belongs to the Chinese after all. The British have been domineering long enough. Malaysia has driven out most of the British, so the Chinese The living environment and business environment have been greatly improved, and I hope that Xiangjiang will once again usher in a bright future!"
Xia Yu's words made Li Lai lively and aroused his inner national sentiment and nationalism.
For a time, he was filled with emotion.
He had experienced the British colonial period, so he had a deep understanding of what Xia Yu said. Even Xia Yu's words are only part of it.
Malaya (Malay Peninsula) and Sabah, Sarawak, Star City and other places were colonized by the British since 1785, and they were colonized by the island nation for three years from 1942. Then after World War II in 1945, these colonies were taken back by the British. Up.
During the colonial period, all sovereignty of Malaya, Sabah, Sarawak and Star City was taken away by the British. The British were superior, even the wealthy and powerful Chinese families in the local area were as short as the British. Look at the British people acting on their faces.
All kinds of profitable industries are occupied by the British. Even if the Chinese are engaged in some industries relying on diligence and ingenuity, they still face tremendous pressure and have to face the unfair competition from the British.
If it weren’t for Malaya’s independence in 1957, and then Sabah, Sarawak and Star City’s independence in 1963, joining Malaya, forming Malaysia and regaining national sovereignty, and then the British retreated, their family would not have grown to the present level. , He also don't want to become the "Rubber King".
Before the independence of Malaysia, the situation of Xiangjiang was relatively better, but after the independence of Malaysia, the environment of Xiangjiang was actually not comparable to Malaysia.
Li Laisheng knows very well that Xiangjiang has gathered too many Chinese wealthy and families, so the overall strength is strong enough to barely resist the oppression of the British.
After Xia Yu appeared, he attacked the British several times, weakened the strength of the British consortium, and opened up a broader world for the Chinese.
So now Xia Yu bluntly says he wants to join the Swire Consortium. Although he must have selfish reasons, it is undeniable that if he really succeeds, he will definitely be able to further optimize the life and business environment of the Chinese in Hong Kong.
And Xiangjiang is one of the economic centers of Southeast Asia, and even the status of the entire Southeast Asian Chinese will be promoted, so this is beneficial to the entire overseas Chinese nation.
It's even more pretentious to talk about the help to the motherland.
During the War of Resistance against Japan, his father Li Mingxing responded to the overseas Chinese leader Tan Kah Kee to launch the "Dedicated Plane to Save the Nation" campaign. His father took the lead in donating a plane worth 100,000 US dollars. The inscription plaques of "Yi" and "Patriotic Pioneer".
In the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China, due to the "embargo" policy imposed on New China by Western forces, Li Laisheng tried every means to transship through third-country channels and re-export large quantities of rubber products and semi-finished products to support New China's economic construction.
It can be said that the Li family has special feelings for the motherland as a nation, and has made indelible contributions to the motherland. It is definitely a patriotic overseas Chinese family.
Compared with Li Laisheng, although a certain person of the same surname will be stronger in the future, he does not even have the qualifications to carry shoes in some respects.
Closer to home, he has no reason not to support Xia Yu's benefit to the motherland and the nation.
Just when Li Laisheng was emotional, he felt his foot being touched. He turned his head to look, the elder son glanced at him, and then silently poured tea.
Li Laisheng apologized to Xia Yu and said, "Mr. Xia, I'm sorry, I just thought of some things. I was a little distracted. You have been waiting for a long time."
Xia Yu said with a faint smile: "I didn't wait long, I suddenly came to talk to you about such an important matter. Mr. Li was not prepared, so I really need to consider it."
Li Laisheng smiled, and suddenly said cheerfully: "Mr. Xia, don't worry about it, I am willing to sell the equity to you!"
"I also hope you can bring down the Swire Consortium!"
Xia Yu smiled and thanked him again and again: "Mr. Li understands the righteousness, thank you for your help, you have helped me a lot, I must remember it in my heart, thank you!"
Li Laisheng waved his hand and said modestly: "It's not a big deal, this is normal business cooperation."
Now that Li Laisheng has agreed, the rest are the details. Xia Yu remembered what Li Laisheng had just said, and he asked: "Mr. Li, you said there are some inside stories just now. I don't know what it is?"
Li Laisheng said immediately: "That's it."
"Mr. Xia, you have investigated Swire Industrial Group. You should know the industrial structure of Swire Industrial Group."
Xia Yu nodded in cooperation, indicating that he knew.
Li Laisheng continued: "Many of these companies have direct business dealings with our family, such as Swire Paints Co., Ltd., Swire Rubber Co., Ltd., and so on."
"For our family at that time, Swire Industries Group was a major customer, and Swire Industries Group also needed a stable and affordable supplier. Therefore, in order to deepen the relationship between the two parties, our family and Swire Industries Group held mutual shares."
"At that time, Swire Industrial Group transferred 5.2% of the equity of Kepong Group to our family, and we also transferred 5.5% of the equity of Kepong Group to Swire Industrial Group. Some cash."
"By now, the business relationship between Swire Industrial Group and our family has actually become ordinary."
"I hope, Mr. Xia, after you have acquired Swire Industrial Group, you can sell your 5.5% equity in Kepong Group back to us."
Xia Yu nodded immediately and said, "It's okay, this one can be written into the contract."
Li Laisheng smiled and nodded, and replied, "I'm relieved with your words, Mr. Xia."
"The rest is the price issue."
Xia Yu took the initiative to hand over the bid to Li Laisheng, and asked softly: "Mr. Li, can you make an offer."
As a seller, Li Laisheng feels that he is not good at bidding.
So he kicked the ball back to Xia Yu lightly.
He said with a warm smile: "Mr. Xia, I don't know the current situation of Swire Industrial Group. Or you can ask for a price. I will sell it if it suits you. In short, the purpose is hello, me, and everyone."
"Business is only temporary, and friendship is long-lasting."
"Mr. Lee is right. Getting acquainted with you is the biggest gain from my trip to Kuala Lumpur. Compared with that, everything else is secondary."
Xia Yu also said with a drink.
After speaking, he pondered for a moment, worrying that Li Laisheng would ask Qiu Deba afterwards, and his own acquisition of Qiu Deba’s equity in Taikoo Co., Ltd. was equivalent to a 35 percent premium, so he now gave the Li family a lower price. not good.
Furthermore, the value of Swire Industrial Group and Swire Co., Ltd. is very different. With the proportion of shares held by the Li family, even if the premium is 35%, it is not much more.
Anyway, the money came from the Song family, and he didn't need to make Li Laisheng dissatisfied.
Thinking of this, he solemnly said: "Well, Mr. Li, the market value of Taikoo Industrial Group is now fluctuating up and down at 2.140 billion Hong Kong dollars. I use this price as the base."
"Then the premium is 35%. The 5.2% of the equity your family holds is valued at 115.02 million Hong Kong dollars. The fraction will be erased. I will give you 150 million Hong Kong dollars. whole."
"I bought the equity of Mr. Qiu Deba, also at this premium ratio. I treat you with the same respect as I treat him, so I treat him equally."
"And you can observe the situation in Xiangjiang in the next one or two months, and you will find that if you sell the equity to me now, you are definitely selling it right."
"Do you think this price is okay?"
Xia Yu said so candidly, and the price he gave is indeed not low. Considering what Xia Yu said in his words, it is obvious that the value of Taikoo Industrial Group will fall, so he didn't say the price.
So he nodded very simply and smiled: "Mr. Xia is so generous, if I am no longer satisfied, I will appear too greedy."
"I have no objection, just as you say."
After speaking, he said with emotion: "I didn't expect you to go to Qiu Deba for the sake of Swire Co., Ltd., your hand is not so big, admire it!"
He knew that the size and market value of Swire Holdings were more than several times that of Swire Industries Group, and Swire Holdings was the core pillar of the Swire Consortium.
Xia Yu is now working on these two companies at the same time, or that he knows only these two, then Xia Yu must have launched a full-scale attack on the Taikoo consortium. This kind of financial strength, strength and courage is far from their Li family.
He had heard of Xia Yu's legendary experience before, and he also deliberately collected relevant information. It was shocking at the time, but now that he saw it with his own eyes, the shock was even greater.
At this moment, Li Laisheng suddenly felt that being able to get acquainted with Xia Yu and have a good relationship was the most correct thing he did.
"Mr. Li, thank you again for your generosity."
Xia Yu got up, said with a big smile, and at the same time stretched out a hand to Li Laisheng.
Li Laisheng stretched out his hand, holding the old and the young tightly together.
After releasing, Xia Yu said: "Mr. Li, because I have to fight back to Xiangjiang tonight, I hope to complete the cooperation as soon as possible now."
Li Laisheng nodded immediately and agreed: "No problem, then I will let someone come over now, where is your person, Mr. Xia?"
"I'll borrow the phone and let them come directly."
"Ok."
...
Not long after Xia Yu finished the phone call, his acquisition team led to Li's manor, led by employees who knew the situation in the local branch.
After some negotiation, the complete contract was freshly released, the price was filled in, and the signature was exchanged.
Xia Yu took out a cheque, wrote the number of 150 million Hong Kong dollars, signed and sealed it, handed it to Li Laisheng, pointed to a middle-aged Chinese and said, "Mr. Li, this is I have a large cheque from Jiuding Bank. This is Su Shanming, the bank president of Jiuding Bank Kuala Lumpur branch. You can ask him to take you to the transfer later."
Li Laisheng took the check and glanced at the numbers. After confirming that it was correct, he solemnly accepted and said, "Okay."
Then he smiled and politely said to Su Shanming: "Mr. Su, I will trouble you later. Our group opens an account at your bank. Later I will ask my son to come with you and transfer the money to us. On your account."
"No problem, thank Mr. Li for supporting our bank!" Su Shanming said with a slight bow.
After that, Xia Yu accepted the contract and the certificate of equity, shook hands with Li Laisheng, thanked again, and said goodbye.
"Mr. Li, thank you again for your help and support I wanted to nag you for a while, but because tomorrow is Monday, the stock market has to reopen, so I must hurry back and sit here as soon as possible. I regret to say goodbye to you."
Li Laisheng nodded and said, "I understand, your business is more important."
"I won't be able to keep you too much today. Anyway, we also know each other. There will be more opportunities in the future. When you come to Kuala Lumpur, you must come and sit with me."
Xia Yu smiled and nodded: "That's for sure. You have traveled more bridges than I have traveled. I will come to learn more from you if I have the opportunity."
"If you come to Xiangjiang at any time, you must let me do my best to be a landlord."
"Definitely!" Li Laisheng said with a smile.
"Then I will leave first."
"I will give it to you!"
...
After leaving Li's house, Xia Yu rushed to Kuala Lumpur's airport and caught up with the passenger plane that took off at 5:30 to Xiangjiang.
When the plane arrived at the Hong Kong Qi Tak International Airport, it was already more than nine o'clock in the evening.
After asking the driver to wait for someone to get out of the airport garage, Xia Yu drove back to his home in the car. He felt a little tired after traveling for two days and fell asleep after washing.
It was the early morning of July 20 in a blink of an eye.
Xia Yu was eating breakfast at home, looking at the newspaper, and watching the highly provocative pieces of news above, his eyes became deep and his thoughts gradually floated out of the sky.
The curtain is about to open...
PS: Coincidentally, tomorrow is Monday, and the plot also starts on Monday. Today I am going to change more than 14,000 words. I wanted to write another chapter, but unfortunately, I wasted more than two hours in the meeting tonight. I can only write such a chapter. Tomorrow is the beginning of January. Will the recommended monthly pass be given to me as a Children’s Day gift? /Poor/
