Chapter 443 Explaining the Purpose
Since it was confirmed that An Kaiyue was pregnant, Xu Liang became more attentive to taking care of her.
The sexual intercourse that used to come several times a day has completely stopped.
Professionals including nannies, nutritionists, and medical teams are also in place.
"Honey, look. These are the little clothes I prepared for the baby."
An Kaiyue happily showed her achievements during this period to Xu Liang.
Looking at the little bellyband with messy stitches, Xu Liang smiled and said: "It seems that you are very savvy and can make clothes in such a short time."
"Sister Liu taught me Okay."
An Kaiyue smiled.
“Madam is very understanding and attentive.”
Sister Liu, the specially hired nanny next to her, smiled.
Xu Liang nodded with a smile, and stopped after seeing Lu Hui appear at the door from the corner of his eye.
"You continue to listen to the music, I'll go out for a while."
An Kaiyue also saw Lu Hui and nodded obediently.
“Mr. Xu.”
Xu Liang nodded and took her outside.
"What's wrong?"
"The Qiu family seems to be unable to hold it in any longer. Qiu Jinshan has called you twice in a row today."
Xu Liang After nodding, he thought for a moment, "The heat is almost there. ... Are you ready with the things you asked me to prepare?"
"Ready."
"Let Huo Gang prepare the car, and we will go to the Qiu family."
"Mr. Xu, it is the Qiu family that is begging us now, and we still want to visit?" Lu Hui said.
"The old man of the Qiu family is not in good health, so we should pay him a visit. Moreover, although the Qiu family is asking for help from us, if he appears too arrogant, it is easy to turn a good thing into a bad thing."< br>
Lu Hui nodded.
The motorcade set off quickly and soon arrived outside Qiu’s house, which also lived on Nathan Road.
After ringing the doorbell to announce.
The door of Qiu’s courtyard opened wide.
Qiu Jinshan and his family stood in front of the villa gate to greet them.
Seeing him get out of the car, Qiu Jinshan, who had been looking forward to it for a long time, excitedly greeted him.
Seeing this scene, a middle-aged man in a black suit next to him couldn't help but taunted in a low voice: "Second sister, do you think the eldest brother looks like a bitch?"
Qiu Jinfang, who was next to him, frowned suddenly.
"Jin Hai, the distinguished guest is in front of you. Please stop saying a few words. If you offend someone, my father will not let you off lightly."
Qiu Jinhai curled his lips, somewhat disapproving.
However, he also knew that Xu Liang could not be offended. Although he did not want to make money through Hanhua, he had to admit that the current capital of Hanhua was too huge.
It’s not the Qiu family, let alone someone he can offend.
"Mr. Xu, let me introduce to you. This is my second sister Qiu Jinfang, who is currently in charge of the Langmuyuan Hotel under the Qiu family."
"Ms. Qiu is really a heroine, and I am deeply impressed by the Langmuyuan Hotel. ."
Xu Liang smiled.
The Goodwood Garden Hotel, located in the Orchard business district, is a famous historical heritage hotel in the Asia-Pacific region. It has a total of 233 guest rooms, 2 outdoor swimming pools, 5 specialty restaurants, etc., and has become one of the world's top luxury hotels. It has hosted Jackie Chan, Chow Yun-fat, Muhammad Ali, Italian blind singer Andrea Bocelli, former Queen Beatrix of the Netherlands and many other celebrities.
Its status is like the Peninsula Hotel and Xiangjiang, Diaoyutai and Beijing, they are both landmarks.
He also stayed here when he first came to Singapore.
"You have given me the award. Hanhua and Hongmeng are truly world-class companies..."
Before she could finish speaking, Qiu Jinhai had quickly reached out his hand.
"Mr. Xu, I am Qiu Jinhai, currently in charge of the Yige Hotel under the Qiu family."
Looking at the hand stretched out in front of him, Xu Liang shook it with a smile. Seeing Qiu Jinshan's unnatural smile next to him, there was a hint of amusement in his expression.
Qiu Deba was bedridden and was about to die. The children of the Qiu family also took action to prepare for the family property.
But it has nothing to do with him.
After a brief greeting, Xu Liang was led by Qiu Jinshan to the living room.
After looking around.
“The main purpose of my visit this time is to visit Mr. Qiu. I wonder where he is?”
"Mr. Xu, father is resting upstairs. I will take you there." Qiu Jinhai walked over quickly.
“Thank you.”
Qiu Jinhai walked in front diligently and took Xu Liang to the second floor.
As soon as he came up, Xu Liang smelled the strong smell of disinfectant.
After opening the door to the south, a clean room appeared in front of me.
Wearing a loose hospital gown, Qiu Deba was lying on the bed in the middle. Compared with the last time we met, he was much thinner and his energy was incomparable.
"Mr. Qiu, I'm here to see you."
Xu Liang put the gift he brought on the bedside table.
There is a twenty-year-old wild ginseng he brought inside.
"Mr. Xu is interested. I am not good at it and cannot greet him personally. I hope Mr. Xu will not be offended."
"You're welcome. You are an elder and I should pay you a visit."
Qiu Deba smiled and pointed to the seat next to him.
"Mr. Xu, please take a seat."
Xu Liang sat down on the seat next to him in a polite manner. "Mr. Qiu, what disease is this?"
"Hemiplegia caused by high blood pressure is an old problem."
"I also know some well-known Western medical institutions. If Mr. Qiu is willing, I can help introduce them to you."
" Thank you for your kindness, Mr. Xu, my family knows about my family affairs. This problem of mine will never be cured," Qiu Deba sighed.
With the status of the Qiu family, he has already seen all the experts in the field of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. Up to now, he still has not made any progress, and there is a high probability that this will be the case.
“By the way, I forgot to congratulate Mr. Xu. Hanhua Capital Kunpeng Fund has made huge profits, which is gratifying.”
Qiu Deba changed the topic.
"Thank you, sir."
After a few polite words, Xu Liang stopped wasting his words.
"Mr. Qiu, the Qiu family has held shares in Standard Chartered Bank for many years. Do you have any idea of selling them?"
Looking at the young man who was full of confidence, Qiu Deba felt a sudden change in his heart. sigh.
"It's finally here."
Since the Qiu family's investment in several funds including Hanhua's 'Kunpeng 2' and 'Qinglong 3' was rejected, he had guessed Xu Liang's plan .
The other party has a high probability of taking a fancy to the Qiu family's assets.
The Qiu family’s core assets are three, including a number of hotels including the Langmuyuan Hotel, Maybank shares, and a 14.9% stake in Standard Chartered Bank.
Xu Liang does not have a hotel business, at least not yet.
Xu Liang is not a Malaysian, and it would be difficult for the acquisition of Maybank to pass government review.
So the biggest possibility is Standard Chartered Bank shares.
As long as they acquire 14.9%, plus the 16.8% held by Xu Liang himself, the sum of the two already exceeds 30.7%. By simply acquiring 3.3% from the secondary market, you can become the largest shareholder of Standard Chartered Bank and have the ‘veto power’ of major board decisions.
The temptation for Xu Liang was too great to control a huge bank with a market value of nearly 10 billion US dollars and assets of more than 300 billion US dollars.
It can greatly solve his financing problems.
"Mr. Qiu, Standard Chartered's shares are just a valuable asset in the hands of the Qiu family. From 1986, Mr. Qiu joined forces with the charter king and Australian businessman Robert to acquire 37% of Standard Chartered's shares for 1.3 billion pounds. , the market value of Standard Chartered Bank has only more than doubled.
In comparison, any fund under Hanhua that has been established for more than one year has a higher return than Standard Chartered shares.
For the Qiu family, this asset allocation is actually not qualified.
So, the only way to sell this part of the equity is to save money, make a rational allocation, and invest in the Qiu family's current main business. It’s the most suitable choice.”
Paused.
"Mr. Qiu, this is all I have to say. How the Qiu family chooses depends entirely on Mr. Qiu's thoughts."
Qiu Deba looked calm and pondered for a moment.
“If I reject Mr. Xu, will Hanhua Capital also reject the Qiu family’s investment?”
Xu Liang smiled and didn’t say much.
But his attitude said it all.
If it weren't for Standard Chartered's shares, the Qiu family wouldn't be worth his repeated visits.
"I understand. The matter is serious. Mr. Xu allows me to think about it."
Xu Liang stood up and said, "I am waiting for Mr.'s call and I will take my leave."
>
"It's rare for Mr. Xu to come here, why not have lunch before leaving?" Qiu Jinshan said quickly.
“No, I have something to do when I go back. I’ll come back to visit next time.”
After declining, Xu Liang left the Qiu family.
After seeing him off, everyone came to Qiu Deba's bedroom again.
"I knew that the person named Xu had evil intentions, but I didn't expect that he would actually take a liking to the Standard Chartered shares in the hands of our Qiu family? Dad, you can't sell the shares to him." Qiu Jinhai said.
“Why not sell and keep it? It won’t increase much in a year, so we might as well save the money for investment. If we had invested more money in Kunpeng Fund, we could have earned hundreds of millions in a few months Isn’t the dollar return better than Standard Chartered shares?” Qiu Jinshan couldn’t help but say.
What he regrets most now is that he did not invest more money in Kunpeng Fund and missed the opportunity.
Looking at his two sons, Qiu Deba shook his head inwardly.
The business abilities of his sons are only ordinary, and they are just conservative people.
On the contrary, his daughters inherited his business talent, especially his second daughter Qiu Jinfang. The Langmuyuan Hotel has become more and more prosperous in her hands over the years.
It already looks like the first hotel in Singapore, Malaysia and Thailand.
Looking at the second daughter thoughtfully.
"Jin Fang, how do you think this matter should be handled?"
"Dad, in just over three years, Xu Liang has risen like a comet, and he is only 22 years old. He is destined to have a bright future. In the future.
If the Qiu family can gain his friendship, it will be of no harm to our development.
In contrast, although Standard Chartered’s shares are valuable, they can still be given. Our Qiu family brings convenience in raising funds and enhances our influence in the banking field.
But all these are not so important compared with Xu Liang's unlimited potential.
< br>
In addition, I heard that Xu Liang owns Taihua Real Estate, which is mainly engaged in commercial real estate. There are currently more than ten commercial complexes under development or to be developed.
Now that he has made huge amounts of money from oil speculation, his investment in commercial real estate will definitely double.
Hotels are indispensable in commercial complexes.
The main business of our Qiu family is hotels. We can cooperate with Taihua. They are responsible for providing the venue and we are responsible for the brand and operation. We can easily expand the Qiu family's hotel industry to the entire China.
At that time, our Qiu family's industry will not only be able to move to a higher level, but also deepen our friendship with Xu Liang, killing two birds with one stone. ”
Looking at his eldest daughter talking freely, Qiu Deba showed a look of approval on his face.
"It's great that you can look at this matter from an overall perspective. I feel relieved to leave the Liangmuyuan Hotel to you."
Qiu Jinfang looked happy, but Qiu Jinhai's expression changed next to him. Worse.
If the second sister behaves well, she will naturally be able to share more when the family property is divided in the future.
