"It's not forced at all. I didn't think that the old house could be rebuilt. I bought it to convert it into commercial use and open a restaurant and cafe there."
Sun Dahai is not talking nonsense. He plans to build a new store here for No. 9 Hotpot Restaurant and Suiyuijinghao.
Although he has not been to the site to see the house, he knows the approximate location. There are residential areas around it, and the usual passenger flow is not small. In summer, it is close to the first bathing beach, so business will definitely not be bad.
One hundred thousand US dollars actually bought the right to use the land, and the bulk of the money was spent on the new store. Two stores of 5,000 square meters of land are used together. According to Sun Dahai's habit, this store will have to build at least three buildings.
Only one layer is enough.
"That's great. As a friend, I don't want you to suffer financial losses because of me." David became happy.
"I'll make a call when I get back. You wait in the island city for two days, and my people will come over to contact you. As for the money, you need to receive it here or transfer it from Xiangjiang. You can tell the person who comes
That's it." Sun Dahai is ready to become the hands-off shopkeeper again.
"Sun, thank you so much. Let me treat you and your friends to dinner tonight, okay?"
"Of course, but David, you don't have to mind too much. I also benefit from this deal. It's a win-win for both of us."
In the evening, in the restaurant of the Badaguan Hotel, David ordered a large table of dishes for Sun Dahai and the others. To be solemn, he also specially ordered Maotai and red wine to entertain everyone.
After more than half an hour, everyone was 80% full and fell into a state of chatting while eating.
Only then did Sun Dahai know that David was a banker. Although this title was a bit early, who knew that Skoll Bank was controlled by his family.
But when it comes to this topic, David seems a lot more dull. The Masardino family is not fully prepared to deal with the provocation.
Under the influence of alcohol, David briefly talked about the troubles his family was encountering. He just wanted to vent it out, but he didn't think about what Sun Dahai could do.
Unexpectedly, Sun Dahai became energetic all of a sudden. He inquired in detail about the shareholding structure of Skoll Bank. David saw Sun Dahai's eyes getting brighter and brighter, and was very worried. This child must not be sick.
Bank, Sun Dahai is really moved. It is really rare to encounter such an opportunity.
"David, do you think that if I acquire the 40% shares and ensure that the operating rights of the bank will continue to be owned by your family, then your family will support my acquisition?" Sun Dahai asked.
"Which shares do you want to acquire?" David stood up in surprise, startling everyone at the table.
Sun Dahai certainly knows how difficult it will be to enter the banking industry in the future. Banks cannot be acquired at will. This not only requires the approval of a majority of shareholders, but also requires strict review by the banking regulatory authorities of the country where they are registered.
Now is a good opportunity. David's Smith family needs to deal with challenges from others, and may accept Sun Dahai's shareholding in the future.
Moreover, based on his family's relationship with the majority shareholders of Skoll Bank and his many years of connections in the Swiss banking industry, if he supports Sun Dahai, he should be able to help Sun Dahai successfully complete the investment.
"Yes, my company will gradually undergo group restructuring, and the next step is to form a consortium. Banks and related financial institutions are essential.
If I can become a major shareholder of Skoll Bank, I will propose a capital increase to the board of directors to expand the bank's core assets and prepare for the establishment of additional branches in the future."
The most important thing Sun Dahai did not say out loud was that he would increase his shareholding proportion through continuous capital injections and squeeze out some small shareholders until he could gain absolute control of Skoll Bank.
If he can acquire a stake in Skoll Bank, Sun Dahai's consortium will be centered on Skoll Bank in the future. Therefore, Sun Dahai will not give up his control of Skoll Bank at all.
As for the bank's operating rights, it is actually not very important. As long as the Smith family is willing to cooperate with Sun Dahai's work, Sun Dahai will not mind letting his family continue to be responsible for the normal operation of the bank.
The dinner ended in a hurry, and Sun Dahai and David were eager to go back to the room and make phone calls.
"What did you say? Your new Chinese friend wants to buy the 40% shares?" Hawat Smith was shocked.
There is a seven-hour time difference between China and Switzerland. It is now Hawat's lunch break time. He had just entered a light sleep when he was woken up by a phone call and suddenly heard such news. His mind was a little confused for a while.
"Yes, Sun made it very clear that he wants to acquire the 40% shares and hopes to get our family's cooperation. By the way, he will ensure that our family continues to control the bank's operating rights and support the bank in expanding its business scope."
"What industry does Mr. Sun you're talking about work in? Did you tell him the value of those shares? Can anyone in China afford this money now? You didn't remind him that if the acquirer has a government background, such an acquisition
Is it difficult to pass the review?"
Hawat visited China in 1983. At that time, the country implemented a real estate policy. He heard about it when he visited the Singapore branch to inspect the work. After that, he took the time to go to the island city to complete the real estate registration procedures.
At that time, the domestic reform and opening up had just begun, and the economic situation was not ideal. Hawat visited Shanghai and Daocheng successively, thinking that China was still relatively backward. At this time, he heard that the Chinese wanted to invest in Skoll Bank, and he couldn't help but
There are some doubts about Sun Dahai’s source of funds.
"Most of Sun's businesses are abroad. There is only one Yuanjue Liquor in the island city. Lenny and I visited it in the morning. Yuanjue Liquor is quite large and all the Su Bian wines produced are sold in Europe. Lenny once drank
However, it is said that this wine is in short supply.
Sun's main business is investment. There is a bar and restaurant street in Xiangjiang called Lan Kwai Fong, which he invested in. After we leave China, we will go to Xiangjiang to take a look.
I told Sun the value of this part of the shares, and he had no unusual reaction to the valuation of 200 million US dollars. When I told him that the money might need to be paid in one lump sum, he just nodded casually without any embarrassment.
mean.
I estimate that if he really wants to acquire it, there may not be much pressure on him to pay."
"You believe him so much?" Hawat was surprised.
David is the successor Hawat has trained with all his efforts. He has the characteristics of a typical banker, calm, rigorous and meticulous. However, in just a few days, he was able to recognize Sun Dahai, which made Hawat feel a little incredible.
