Chapter 755: The Great River Flows East, Sweeping Away All the Waves (Part 2)
After giving instructions, he walked out of the trading room and saw Old Xu, who had just returned from HSBC with a smile on his face.
Lu Liang said with a smile, "Mr. Xu, when do you plan to take over Hengtai's New World?"
"Of course, the sooner the better."
Xu Jiayin squinted his eyes with a smile.
Hengtai is already the largest shareholder of New World, holding an absolute controlling stake of 50.1%.
They now do not need the board's consent to convene a shareholder meeting to re-elect the executive director and change the chairman.
"Let's first sum up the bill for this project and send it to you later." Lu Liang predicted around 20 billion US dollars.
The annual interest will be according to the 5% agreed in advance, and then sign a repayment contract for three to five years.
"No need for three to five years, as long as Tianxing Finance needs, at most three months."
Old Xu beamed, flicked his sleeve, revealing the 'H' Hermes belt on his waist.
At the moment Hengtai Group announced the controlling of New World Development, the market value also soared past the 600 billion Hong Kong Dollar mark.
Since Hengtai began the acquisition of New World, the group's market value has risen by 250 billion Hong Kong Dollars.
There is simply no problem of insolvency, and it can easily initiate financing of 20 billion US dollars or 30 billion US dollars.
After all, the successful acquisition of New World by Hengtai produced a chemical reaction, definitely making 1+1 greater than 2, and the future market value will definitely continue to rise.
Maybe, it will become the only real estate group in the HK and A markets with a valuation breaking through one trillion.
"Then three months." Lu Liang glanced sideways, disliking Old Xu's pretentious appearance.
Old Xu's face immediately fell, and he hurriedly tried to please him, "Just joking, let's repay half in three months first, and the rest over three years, with an interest rate of 5% as you said."
Although Hengtai initiating financing is an inevitable choice, they cannot use all the funds to repay Tianxing.
They also need to leave some funds to handle some follow-up miscellaneous tasks of Hengtai's acquisition of New World.
As far as he knew, Zheng Jiachun, in order to keep New World, exhausted funds and borrowed a large sum from Zhou Da Fu.
Previously New World belonged to the Zheng Family, these were matters to be handled by the Zheng Family, now New World belongs to Hengtai, it's Xu Jiayin's matter.
"Conquering a kingdom is easy, keeping it is hard." Old Xu sighed deeply, but his upturned lips were even harder to suppress than an AK.
Lu Liang shook his head helplessly and suggested, "Have a meal, rest a bit, and go to New World in the afternoon?"
"Okay, everything is mainly up to Mr. Lu."
Near noon, the two went to the restaurant for a meal.
Suddenly, Xu Jiawei received a call, hurried over to Lu Liang, and asked him to answer it.
"Is the source reliable?"
"Okay, thank you."
Ending the call, Lu Liang frowned, and Xu Jiayin curiously inquired, "What happened?"
Lu Liang said, "Zheng Jiachun had an incident."
"Dead?" Xu Jiayin was surprised.
"Not dead, I heard it was a stroke."
Xu Jiayin furrowed his eyebrows, "Can the news be confirmed?"
Lu Liang said softly, "The news is reliable, but whether the incident is true, it is hard to say."
Yang Shoucheng called, just now, Zheng Jiachun suffered a cerebral infarction stroke and is now staying at Mary Hospital.
The fact that he is in the hospital can be confirmed, but whether or not he had a cerebral infarction stroke is a question mark for now.
After all, before the market opened in the morning, he was able to shed tears in front of the camera just to win market sympathy.
Now pretending to have a stroke, making Xu Jiayin bear the moral burden and making the next move difficult is not impossible.
"Whether true or false."
Xu Jiayin squinted his eyes and said harshly, "The afternoon schedule will not change at all."
Lu Liang smiled and said, "It would be best if it were a real stroke, so Mr. Zheng would not have too much psychological pressure."
They have already taken away someone else's family legacy, even if they make a hypocritical posture, it will only make people feel insincere.
Better take advantage of his illness and take his life.
After all, Hengtai entering New World is not like Tianxing entering Huazhi, Liu Cixin gave up early, but Old Zheng resisted stubbornly until the last second.
Moreover, Zheng Jiachun holds more than one-third of the shares and is the chairman of the board. If he opposes Hengtai's entry, even though it is a majority control, it would still be troublesome.
Therefore, even at the expense of taking blame, Hengtai still needs to execute decisively, cooking the raw rice.
Xu Jiayin smiled and raised his cup, substituting tea for wine, "Mr. Lu, great minds think alike."
Soon, the news of Zheng Jiachun's cerebral infarction and stroke admission spread throughout Xiangjiang.
"A generation of heroes, thus fallen."
"Looking back in those days, Zheng Jiachun was also a famous talent, in the blink of an eye he reached the age where he would be angered into having a cerebral infarction stroke."
"The great river goes east, sweeping away, outstanding figures through the ages."
Public opinion was mostly emotional, and there was not much sympathy.
After all, these wealthy and powerful big shots, taking one out immediately for a firing squad would surely not be a wrongful kill.
Only a fool would worry, earning a ten to twenty thousand monthly salary and caring about the safety of those with trillion-dollar wealth.
Not long after, public opinion shifted again because Xu Jiayin and Lu Liang appeared at the New World Building.
There was also news that Xu Jiayin intended to exercise the power of the controlling shareholder to forcibly convene a shareholders' meeting.
"Isn't that going a bit too far?"
"Ah Zheng is still in the ward undergoing resuscitation, is Xu Jiayin that impatient?"
"Is it really taking advantage of his illness, to take his life? Not leaving the slightest bit of face?"
Zheng Jiachun's eldest son, Zheng Qiming, the current chairman of Zhou Da Fu's board, hurried over after hearing the news from the hospital.
"Mr. Lu, Mr. Xu, my father is still in the ICU, why are you pushing so hard?"
He stood in front of the two, with more than a dozen New World Development executives standing behind him, each glaring angrily.
"After hearing Ah Zheng was hospitalized, I was truly very worried."
Xu Jiayin looked solemn, as if he truly cared about Zheng Jiachun's safety, and said, "But business is business, and personal is personal, they cannot be mixed up."
"Furthermore, if you truly care about Ah Zheng, you shouldn't stop me, the issue of New World Development's ownership is Ah Zheng's heart knot."
"Rather than holding on tightly, why not let go?"
Zheng Qiming laughed angrily but, unlike his brother who had already exploded in anger, he still maintained his good manners and turned to Lu Liang, "Mr. Lu, is this also your stance?"
"Qi Ming, resolving New World's ownership early is ultimately a good thing." Lu Liang looked calm and spoke softly.
Among the third and fourth generations in Xiangjiang, there is no lack of people with both excellent capability and character. Yang Qisheng is, Liu Mingwei is, Zheng Qiming also is, just mostly suppressed by elders and the market, unable to emerge.
Unlike the youngest son of the Zheng family, Zheng Qilong, Lu Liang had a very good impression of Zheng Qiming, having two previous encounters, gentle, and kind to others, a good friend.
But as Old Xu said, business is business, personal is personal, and it is in Tianxing's best interest for Hengtai to enter New World early, so personal relations must be set aside.
"Okay." Zheng Qiming took a deep breath, knowing he could not afford to offend Lu Liang, so he turned and said, "Didn't you hear Mr. Lu's words, let them pass, Mr. Xu is the major shareholder of New World, having the right to call a shareholders' meeting."
"Big brother..."
Zheng Qilong was stunned, furious, "Father is still lying in the ICU, and you already want to hand over New World?"
"Accept the gamble, accept the loss, don't behave like a hooligan." Zheng Qiming scolded coldly, inviting Lu Liang and Xu Jiayin inside.
He called the group's executive director Zhou Mingyuan and politely asked, "Uncle Zhou, father considered this situation before, right?"
Zhou Mingyuan didn't know what Zheng Qiming wanted to do, but still nodded and said, "Mr. Zheng made a will before."
Making a will is common among Xiangjiang's rich families, to handle situations like these, such as when the sect leader passes away or loses consciousness, who will preside over the overall situation?
"Let's announce it now."
Zheng Qiming looked at Lu Liang and Xu Jiayin, "Would you two mind waiting a while?"
Xu Jiayin nodded, Lu Liang shrugged, indicating no objections, also wanting to learn the inheritance methods of wealthy families.
Because in the next six months to a year, when Tianxing Financial Group's business is stabilized, he also needs to prepare a will.
After all, you never know if tomorrow or an accident will come first, it's good to prepare early.
