Chapter 468
Cutting off as early as possible
At the end of a narrow aisle, a staircase appeared leading to the second floor. A sign hung on the wall at the entrance of the staircase said: Customers Stopped.
"Mr. Hu, Mr. Xia, be careful where you step. We'll be there as soon as we go up. The second floor will be quiet."
Liu Donglai led the way. Hu Yang walked up to the second floor and saw that it was a three-bedroom residential house. However, the decoration of the rooms was simple and bright. One of the rooms looked like a private room, and another room was a tea room.
"Haha, Donglai, you are really enjoying yourself now. If you don't come up, no one will know. There is no wonder on your second floor."
Several people sat down in the private room, and Liu Donglai personally brought tea to Hu Yang and Xia Bing.
"I prepared a place like this just in case my friends came and there was no room. No, you and Mr. Xia will just use it today. What are you eating? I'll go and tell the back hall."
Liu Donglai's current chain restaurant is booming, and there will inevitably be more welcomes and deliveries. It is really useful to have such a place.
Hu Yang smiled and ordered a few things to eat with Xia Bing.
Liu Donglai stood at the top of the stairs and shouted, asking someone to hurry up and place the order.
In a short time, two steaming bowls of steamed noodles and a few steamed buns were served. Liu Donglai also asked the back hall to prepare some side dishes, which were also delivered.
"Beef with soy sauce? I love this."
On the table were a plate of sliced beef with soy sauce, a platter of marinated vegetables, and several cold dishes.
"Mr. Hu, Mr. Xia, you eat slowly. I have something to do in the store, so I won't accompany you."
Liu Donglai sat down and chatted with the two of them for a few words, then stood up. On the one hand, he didn't want to disturb others' dinner, but on the other hand, he was very busy today and he needed to help take care of them.
Hearing Liu Donglai's footsteps gradually receding, Xia Bing laughed out loud, and then said: "Boss, your aura is so strong now that even Liu Donglai feels a little uncomfortable in front of you."
"Really? Why didn't I feel it? I said that the noodles and meat buns should be eaten while they are hot. They won't taste the same when they are cold."
In fact, Xia Bing's statement was correct. It was not that Hu Yang couldn't feel it, but he didn't have any good solution.
With the development of his career, many people have faded out of his life.
But equally, many people came into his life.
This is the change in status that brings about the change in the circle. This change is not based on human will.
Xia Bing wisely stopped the conversation, and the two of them ate in silence.
After finishing the meal and leaving the restaurant, Hu Yang looked at Xia Bing and asked, "Are you going back to Yangcheng now, or are you going to sit at my place again?"
"I'll go back to Yangcheng directly. I'm going to North America soon. I still have some work matters to explain to them."
Xia Bing wanted to say something, but finally swallowed it back.
The two got into their own cars and left.
"Mr. Xia, what did you want to say just now?"
On the way back to Yangcheng, Xia Bing received a call from Yang Hu in the car.
"Mr. Hu, I originally wanted to remind you to be careful about Su Tingting. Su Tingting may not have bad intentions for you, but behind her is Su Cheng and the entire Su family. This time Yahoo has issued an acquisition offer, which is also an opportunity. We can just take advantage of it.
Make a cut with Su Tingting."
Xia Bing has heard some rumors recently, but there are some things that she can't say directly to Hu Yang.
She knew that Hu Yang had already established a relationship with Tian Sichun, and the two were planning to hold a wedding at the end of the year. At this time, there were rumors pointing to the ambiguous relationship between Hu Yang and Su Tingting, which was very intriguing.
The core argument of the whole rumor is naturally based on the previous joint acquisition by Su Tingting and Hu Yang.
"Well, thank you for the reminder. Be careful on the road and call me before you leave."
Hu Yang hung up the phone silently. He felt an unusual flavor from Xia Bing's words.
"Awen, have you been out recently, is there any negative news about me and Miss Su Tingting?"
Back at the company, Hu Yang immediately recruited Han Wen. If there is anyone in the company who knows the trends of the outside world best, it must be Han Wen.
"There are rumors that you are going to marry the eldest lady of the Su family, and they say that they have noses and eyes. And some people really believe this rumor. They say that you and Miss Su Tingting were involved in the joint acquisition...
..to spark that spark of love.”
Except for the last sentence, which made Han Wen feel a little embarrassed, everything else he knew was reported to Hu Yang in detail.
After hearing this, Hu Yang didn't care much. Isn't this just a gossip?
After Han Wen left, Hu Yang suddenly realized that this matter might not be that simple.
Immediately, he called Dong Qi, Wang Qingquan, and Ye Chong and asked them to find out immediately what big moves Ankang Insurance had made recently.
News quickly came back that Ankang Insurance had launched a financial insurance policy last year, which was very popular in the market and sales were rising steadily.
"Mr. Hu, I always feel that this product of Ankang Insurance is unreliable. It gives customers a return of capital in several years and high dividends. Isn't this a variant of high interest rate absorption of funds?"
Wang Qingquan saw clearly that Ankang Insurance was definitely operating illegally.
"Okay, Mr. Wang, I understand. That's it for now, and we'll contact you later."
After Hu Yang hung up the phone, he fell into deep contemplation.
...
Xia Bing arranged the company's internal affairs and immediately flew to North America.
She rested in the hotel for a long time, got over the jet lag, and then met Su Tingting.
"Mr. Su, Mr. Hu asked me to talk to you first before contacting Yahu. What we mean is that we can agree to the other party's acquisition request, but we must not suffer a loss on the price."
“Mr.
On the basis of the quotation, the acquisition funds have been significantly increased. The other party has now increased the acquisition price to US$2 billion, and I think they are very sincere."
Su Tingting is young after all. Although she comes from an extraordinary family and is well-educated, she is still a novice in the business world.
What is the most common mistake for novices? It is impatience and quick success.
Just like Su Tingting, she was afraid that Yahu would regret it and wanted to get the US$2 billion now. How much did she and Yang Hu spend on the joint acquisition? US$116 million. Therefore, she felt that she had made a lot of money.
"Mr. Su, when we look at the problem, we can't just limit it to one aspect. We should also see that the lack of search engine technology is a fatal flaw of Yahu. If they don't make up for this shortcoming as soon as possible, the damage caused to them will be huge.
It's not just a few billion dollars.
Furthermore, there is indeed something unique in search engine technology. Its value still needs a process of rediscovery and in-depth excavation. Let me put it this way, even if we break up with Yahoo, this company will still
It can be listed. And the income after listing will definitely be more than 3 billion US dollars."
Xia Bing had fully understood Hu Yang's intentions before coming. In short, the company would not be sold at a low price.
When Su Tingting heard Xia Bing's words, she really had no reason to refute.
"Okay then, let's invite Mr. Xia to join us today. Let's start negotiations with Yahu together to prevent them from thinking about disintegration and other means."
Su Tingting suppressed her anxiety and agreed to follow Xia Bing's advice.
Of course, the so-called Xia Bing's opinions are actually Hu Yang's opinions, and Su Tingting knows this.
As the two major shareholders (each holding 50% of the company's shares) appeared together, Yahoo suddenly felt the pressure.
Different from Su Tingting's eagerness to realize cash, Xia Bing is unwilling to make money. Anyway, you can negotiate whatever you want, but she won't give in on the price.
On the contrary, the negotiators sent by Yahoo were anxious and had to increase the price step by step. The current purchase price has reached 2.5 billion US dollars.
"Mr. Hu, the negotiations with Yahu have not been easy these days. Their negotiators are experienced and very difficult to deal with. Now they have raised the purchase price to 2.5 billion US dollars. I plan to raise the purchase price to 2.7 billion US dollars.
They made a deal."
Xia Bing often makes overseas phone calls every day, but due to the time difference, she usually has to hang up after a few words.
Today, the purchase price finally reached the bottom line required by Hu Yang, and Xia Bing suddenly felt a lot more relaxed.
“Mr.
Make cuts.”
Hu Yang thought about it for a few days and finally came to a conclusion that surprised him. Sioux City was preparing to transfer assets to North America.
Su Tingting encountered difficulties in starting a company, so Su Cheng appeared in the United States by coincidence. He gave Su Tingting 100 million US dollars in development funds, otherwise, Su Tingting would not be able to compete with Hu Yang for the company.
On the surface, this incident seems normal. The father cares about his daughter, which is quite heartwarming.
However, Hu Yang learned through North American venture capital and several consulting companies that he had cooperated with that the amount of real estate and other investments purchased by Sioux City in North America had exceeded US$2 billion.
He could conclude that Su Cheng's funds definitely did not leave the country through formal channels, which meant that the other party was arranging a way out.
The most irritating thing is that rumor, which insists on bringing Populus euphratica and Su Cheng together.
Although he is still not very clear about the other party's intention of doing this, from now on, he must keep a sufficient distance from everything in the Su family, including Su Tingting.
Although Hu Yang has always had a good impression of Su Tingting and believed that she did not know the inside story, her father was obviously not an easy man. He even took advantage of his own daughter at the critical moment. It was scary to think about it.
