Chapter 439 Offering 200 Million
After listening to Su Cheng’s long argument, Masiru miraculously did not continue to refute this time.
At this moment, he was holding a phone in his hand, but thinking about what Su Cheng said in his mind.
What Su Cheng said really moved his heart.
Before fleeing to Wanwan, Ma Xi received the inside information in advance and knew that since Lai Hao was caught, sooner or later the two Ma brothers would be confessed. It was only a matter of time.
With the establishment of the Independent Commission Against Corruption, the world of underworld is in turmoil. Among the "four major families" of the underworld, the weakest but most high-profile lame man was the first to be taken down and sentenced to thirty years in prison.
And Masiru knew that the crimes he had committed were much more serious than those of the lame man.
The lame man was sentenced to thirty years, so if he was caught, wouldn’t he be sentenced to life imprisonment?
So, he took the opportunity to escape to Wanwan before Lamehao could give him away.
In fact, before going to Wanwan, he also considered the issue Su Cheng mentioned, that is, whether to move the entire Ma family to Wanwan!
At that time, he discussed with Ma Xizhen for a long time, and finally Ma Xizhen convinced him and decided to leave his wife and children in Xiangjiang to inherit their legitimate business and continue to develop it.
And they naturally went to Wanwan to take refuge.
Going to Wanwan, the Xiangjiang government has nothing to do with them.
Therefore, Masiru successfully escaped to Wanwan in advance.
Ma Xizhen, on the other hand, did not follow her brother immediately because she needed to deal with the business at hand.
But Ma Xizhen was quickly caught, and Ma Xiru could only pay attention to his brother's situation in Wanwan.
Ma Xizhen found a powerful lawyer, paid a million bail, escaped from prison, and then fled to Wanwan.
But he was arrested again for "continuing to enter the country with false documents" and spent a year in prison.
However, this year in prison is much better than a life sentence.
So, Ma Xizhen naturally went to jail with satisfaction.
Seeing that there was no sound on the phone for a long time, Su Cheng said: "Mr. Ma, are you still there?"
At this time, Ma Xiru finally came to his senses and stopped thinking about what Su Cheng said. .
"Mr. Su, what you said is indeed very reasonable, but this matter is a very big matter for our Ma family, so I can't agree to you just now, and I have to discuss it with my brother Let's discuss it. Although he is in prison now, I can discuss this matter with him while visiting the prison.
In addition, I also want to know if Mr. Su wants to buy our Ma family's Oriental Newspaper. Company, I wonder what price Mr. Su can offer? After all, even if we really plan to move the Ma family to Wanwan, if Oriental Newspaper Company wants to sell it, it may not be sold to Mr. Su. "Oriental Daily" is a If we sell high-quality assets to the public, I believe that many consortiums in Xiangjiang will be interested in "Oriental Daily"!"
Ma Xiruo is definitely not a fuel-saving lamp, although Su Cheng seems to have fooled him! , gave him the idea of moving his family to Wanwan, but it was almost impossible to take advantage of him.
After all, Masiru has been a boss for most of his life, how could he be a fool?
What price?
Oriental News Company is a newspaper company founded by the Ma family. It is not listed on the market and is a sole proprietorship of the Ma family. Therefore, bidding is difficult because there is no reference to the market value of the stock market.
In the future, when the information age arrives, especially after the emergence of smart phones, newspapers and periodicals will gradually decline.
However, before that, the development of newspapers and periodicals was very good.
It will still be decades before the emergence of smartphones, so Sioux City naturally does not need to consider the decline in newspaper sales in the future.
A newspaper company is definitely not worth too much money, so it is impossible for Sioux City to quote too high a price.
"Two hundred million Hong Kong dollars. I will fully acquire Oriental Newspaper Company for two hundred million Hong Kong dollars. I believe Mr. Ma should know that this price is already very authentic. I have not cheated you. In the past few years, I know that Oriental Newspaper Company The annual profit of the newspaper company is between 10 million and 20 million, which is very stable. The 200 million Hong Kong dollars did not allow Oriental Newspaper Company to sell at a loss. You even made a lot of money."
Suzhou City. In his hand, there is a copy of the financial information of Oriental Newspaper Company in recent years. Oriental Newspaper Company is not a listed company, so these information do not need to be released, but if Brother Wu wants to check, there is no way to hide it from the intelligence team that Brother Wu is responsible for.
Therefore, Su Cheng is very familiar with the situation of Oriental Newspaper Company in recent years.
So, he also offered a very authentic price.
It is impossible to sell the Ma family at a loss. He is a big boss who has been in the Hong Kong underworld for many years. How can he be easily taken advantage of?
"Two hundred million Hong Kong dollars..." After hearing this, Ma Xiru nodded without Su Cheng seeing it.
If they really want to withdraw from Xiangjiang, the price is indeed not bad.
As one of the people behind the scenes, Masiru naturally knows the value of Oriental Newspaper Industry.
However, he did not confirm it immediately. After all, the Oriental Newspaper Company was not owned by Ma Xiru alone, but was founded by Ma Xiru and Ma Xizhen.
Even if there is a plan to sell "Oriental Daily", Ma Xiru must get Ma Xizhen's consent. The relationship between the two brothers has always been very good, and Ma Xiru also respects his younger brother Ma Xizhen's ideas.
Today, the economic situation is average, and few people in Hong Kong will easily spend hundreds of millions of Hong Kong dollars to acquire companies. Although "Oriental Daily" is very high-quality, "Oriental Daily" now faces several major competitors, especially "Chivalry Literature" and "Chivalry News" under the Su Group, it would not be a strange thing if "Chivalry News" surpasses "Oriental Daily" one day. At that time, the "Chivalry News" will take over "Oriental Daily" Aren’t people being taken advantage of?
So, even if Masiru really plans to sell "Oriental Daily", it is impossible for it to be as popular as Masiru said.
In Xiangjiang, there are not many people who are as good as Su Cheng.
For example, Charter King and Jardine Matheson now have no spare capacity to take over the "Oriental Daily".
As for other people, even if they are interested, it is difficult to directly give a price of 200 million.
"Mr. Su, I'm very clear about your purpose of coming. I can't give you an answer now about the sale of "Oriental Daily". So, I'll call you again within two days. I’ll call you, and when the time comes, I will inform Mr. Su of my decision whether to sell Oriental Daily or not,” Ma Xiru replied over the phone.
"Okay, Mr. Ma, I'm looking forward to your reply. Also, if we can reach cooperation this time, I hope that we will have more possibilities for cooperation in the future, Mr. Ma. You should also know that there are too many industries under my control, and I can't monopolize everything. I have to make some profits!" Su Cheng replied with a smile.
