But what reason does the Qinhuai Group use to prevent the Education Department from acquiring Lingnan Middle School?
On the one hand, Chinhuai Group is a for-profit organization, and the Education Department does not need to make profits. On the other hand, the Education Department has the support of the Hong Kong government. Who supports Chinhuai Group? Hua Run supports it on some money-making matters, but if
If you don’t make money, you have to continue to put money into it. Even if you don’t put in enough money yourself, you need others to put in money. So how can you support it?
Therefore, emotionally, Lin Xiaoguang did not want Lingnan Middle School to fall into the hands of the Hong Kong government, but intellectually, there was no other way but to give it up.
He shook his head: "This point cannot convince me, nor can it convince shareholders."
He Sidao sighed inwardly, but was not discouraged.
Nothing is difficult in the world, as long as people are willing to do it. If this thing is so easy to accomplish, just apply directly to the superiors. It is necessary to prepare to go to the board of directors. Moreover, there is a saying, if you ask for the top, you will get the best, if you ask for the middle, you will get the bottom. Now he is asking for the top.
It's just a pretense, it doesn't matter if you don't agree, the goal of his trip is to come down.
"Director Lam, this is what I think. If we lose this opportunity to take over Lingnan Middle School, and the Hong Kong government fully subsidizes Lingnan, the next step is probably to governmentalize it, and we will lose Lingnan Middle School forever."
He Sidao looked at him seriously: "So, I'm thinking, even if we can't acquire Lingnan Middle School, if we can reach a cooperation this time and let it suspend the fully funded plan for one or two years, I believe that by then, let alone
Lingnan Middle School, that is, Lingnan College, the company has the strength to fully acquire it."
"Qinhuai education would be incomplete if it lacks preparatory and post-secondary education. The cultivation of talents needs to start from kindergarten to university. Both are indispensable."
"Now is an opportunity to take over Lingnan."
This is true. As time goes by, the Hong Kong government attaches more importance to education and invests more and more funds. As schools and universities become more confident, it will become increasingly difficult to acquire them.
Qinhuai education cannot do without a university of its own, especially in a place as important as Hong Kong. If you don’t occupy the university education position, the Hong Kong government will. It goes without saying that those who gain students will have a future.
Lin Xiaoguang considered the pros and cons, and finally looked at him and asked: "How much does it cost to acquire Lingnan Middle School?"
"With HK$5 million, we can fully acquire it."
Even though he knew the price was high, HK$5 million was still beyond Lin Xiaoguang's expectation. The cost of building Guangdong Middle School was only HK$1 million. With this money, it was enough to open five Guangdong middle schools. And as far as he knew, Lingnan Middle School was not large in scale.
The number of students is only about twice that of Yuezhou Middle School.
Spending five times the cost of the Yuezhou Middle School to acquire two Guangdong Middle Schools is not a cost-effective deal in any aspect.
"This price can't convince me." He shook his head.
He Sidao continued to persuade, analyzing the pros and cons: "From a numerical point of view, it is indeed not worth it, but Lingnan Middle School has a long history, and its intangible value is immeasurable..."
"Because Lingnan Middle School is so famous, Qinhuai Education cannot acquire it. At this stage, we have to keep a low profile."
"But the sophomores in high school will graduate next year. Whether their next step is to work or go to preparatory courses, we have to help them arrange channels. Students can't be without school or without jobs."
"Then it won't be too late to make another acquisition next year..."
"Before September, the internal school management committee of Lingnan Secondary School will hold a final vote. If the vote is passed, it will join the Hong Kong Education Department's fully funded plan. By then, it will be too late."
Lin Xiaoguang frowned, suddenly remembered something, and asked: "What do you mean by cooperation just now?"
"The group can cooperate with the Lingnan Department in a variety of ways, such as the channels for further studies for high school sophomores next year, or for group employees to go to Lingnan College for further studies, etc. Anyway, there are many, and we will temporarily provide a sum of money.
To ease their financial pressure, once the time is right, it will not be too late to make an acquisition." He Sidao's eyes were bright.
Fingers tapping on the table unconsciously, Lin Xiaoguang thought about this cooperation plan.
Compared with the HK$5 million investment in the acquisition plan just now, the investment in the cooperation plan will undoubtedly be much less.
Thinking about it, he nodded: "Whether it's acquisition or cooperation, we are planning it unilaterally now. We don't know if anyone within Lingnan Middle School will support it. After all, they are a Christian school and we are state-owned. It's hard to say that no one will support it."
be opposed to."
"Let's do this. You first find someone to test the tone of the school board and see what their opinion is."
This was his acquiescence, and He Sidao breathed a sigh of relief, as long as he didn't refuse.
"OK."
He Sidao stayed for a while, then said goodbye and left.
Then Zeng Yuan, who was looking at the information next to her, looked up at him with admiration on her face: "Brother-in-law, you are so awesome. You are planning to buy a university."
Even if Lin Xiaoguang himself really wanted to acquire, in fact, the acquisition by Qinhuai Group was no different from his acquisition, but he did not admit it and shook his head: "No, I am just a director, doing things for the company. The acquisition of a university is also an acquisition by the company. I am just acting as a director."
Representatives of Hua Run, to veto or affirm, that’s all.”
"Moreover, this time we are not buying a university, but a middle school. There are only a few universities in Xiangjiang, but there are many middle schools. The differences are huge. Don't talk nonsense."
"Don't worry, I know, hehe." Zeng Yuan winked playfully.
After Lin Xiaoguang finished speaking, he picked up the tea, took a sip, and then looked straight ahead, Situ Ba said, that was where Lingnan Middle School was.
Lingnan Middle School has a long history and is regarded as a famous school in Hong Kong. It has many celebrities in the political and business circles, including the Hong Kong Executive Council and the Legislative Council member Lok Lok Cheng, the first financial officer and group director of Leo Group, the vice president of the Hong Kong Printing Industry Chamber of Commerce, Li Jinglong, and the Association
Lin Zhiqiang, executive director and chief executive officer of Sheng Xiefeng Holdings, and Li Tingyao, chief executive officer of Sing Tao News Group.
As for the entertainment industry, there are many more, including Tsang Kong, Julian Cheung, Anthony Wong, Qian Siu-hao, Liu Weiqiang, Li Baozhang, etc.
Seeing him lost in thought, Zeng Yuan didn't want to disturb him, but she couldn't help but asked carefully: "Brother-in-law, if this cooperation can be achieved, can I go to preparatory school?"
"Does your mother agree with you to stay in Xiangjiang?" Lin Xiaoguang looked at her.
"Yeah." Zeng Yuan nodded repeatedly: "I can get married anytime, but there are not many opportunities to go to school, especially in Xiangjiang. She supports me to go to school."
A little girl, and An Yang's cousin, Lin Xiaoguang really couldn't bear to watch her walk into the fire pit. With a little effort, she helped others. Now she can escape, and her lifelong troubles are solved. She doesn't have to get married in a year.
, and then her husband was severely beaten, leaving her orphaned and widowed, a life of misfortune.
"You still have to wait for the preparatory course of Lingnan Middle School. Let's do this. In two days, when the first month of the month is over, you will go to Qinhuai Group's advanced training class and learn Cantonese well first." He looked at Zeng Yuan.
.
She smiled sweetly: "Thank you, brother-in-law!"
"A family doesn't need to speak two different languages." He shook his head and chuckled.
It's been more or less a month since I gave birth. Regardless of the custom, it is necessary to do such activities for a month or a hundred days. Anyang has been in Xiangjiang for a while and has met some friends, so he wants to invite them over.
, come and be a guest.
She liked it, so Lin Xiaoguang simply let her.
But according to his estimate, it would take a hundred days, but that would be in Peiping or Chang'an.
I have to say that after having children, things become a lot more difficult.
