Chapter 1131: Confluence
Song Yuanchao didn't say anything, but just raised his eyelids and glanced at Hu Yaoqing.
"What? Wasn't what I said right?" Hu Yaoqing asked back.
Song Yuanchao smiled and said, "This is just your assumption, but I won't argue with you. Now that we've talked about it and you know the answer, then tell me what your intention is in doing this."
Hu Yaoqing laughed loudly, and after laughing for a while, his expression became very relaxed, and he half leaned on the sofa and crossed his legs.
"Old Song, I didn't lie to you when we were in the hotel just now. I am indeed optimistic about the future of Zijun's company. This is also the purpose of investing in Zijun. Besides, she even calls me Uncle Hu."
"Besides, you also know what my company does. To be honest, the prosperity of the real estate industry in recent years is somewhat surprising. This market is really too crazy now. You know that I have experienced the bursting of the Qiongdao real estate bubble. Although I don’t think the entire real estate market can reach the current level again, from a business perspective, it is necessary to prepare for a rainy day. Develop in multiple areas and don’t put all your eggs in one basket. Isn’t that what you do? What? Is it wrong for me to learn from you?"
At this point, Song Yuanchao raised his eyebrows slightly. Just as he was about to say something, Hu Yaoqing continued, "Don't be impatient. Wait for me to finish what I'm saying."
Song Yuanchao motioned for him to continue.
Hu Yaoqing continued: "Of course, in addition to what I just said, I have other intentions, which is also the reason why I came to you today."
"The competition for Shi Lei's company shares has now reached a fever pitch. Apart from some small retail investors and Shi Lei's company, there are three parties competing fiercely. One is me, one is your... friend, and the other is the Lu family and Zhang Liming. You don't deny this, right?"
Listening to Hu Yaoqing's words, Song Chaoyuan did not give a direct answer, but his expression showed that what Hu Yaoqing said in his book was correct.
These days, the competition for Shi Lei's company's stocks is indeed fierce. Their company's stock price goes up and down like an elevator, and the overall trading volume continues to increase. The entire layout has reached the final stage.
According to the original plan, the Lu family and Zhang Liming could have achieved their goal long ago, but it was not only Hu Yaoqing who took action, but even Song Yuanchao also took action secretly. Moreover, there was some competition between the two capitals in the beginning, but with the current situation, the two capitals seem to be converging and started to target the Lu family and Zhang Liming together.
It was because of this that Hu Yaoqing keenly sensed the opportunity, and with his guess and judgment, he finally met with Song Yuanchao again in the name of investing in Song Zijun's company. And this time Hu Yaoqing was fully prepared, and would not allow Song Yuanchao to play Tai Chi with him again. After all, he is now an investor in Song Zijun's company. As Song Zijun's father, if Song Yuanchao has such a daughter in his heart, he will not turn against him directly.
"So, you also admit that it was you who borrowed Jinling's company and deliberately linked it with Si Te and me?"
"Haha, it's mutual. Besides, I never said that this capital and Stein have anything to do with you, Old Song. I can't do anything about what others think, right?" Hu Yaoqing was indeed thick-skinned and smiled without caring at all.
Song Chaoyuan had long expected Hu Yaoqing to answer like this, so he was not surprised and just smiled faintly.
"Tell me, what exactly are you thinking? What do you want to do after going through so much trouble?"
"It's nice to talk to a straightforward person." Hu Yaoqing praised Song Yuanchao for this, and then said, "Old Song, I'm not a good person. I know this myself, but I think I am loyal to my friends. Do you admit this?"
Song Yuanchao didn't say anything and nodded slightly.
Hu Yaoqing is indeed such a person, and this is the main reason why Song Yuanchao has always had a good relationship with him. Although Hu Yaoqing has various problems and can even be said to be a villain, he does have his own bottom line in life and work. No matter those younger brothers who followed him in the past, or those who have cooperated with Hu Yaoqing in recent years, Hu Yaoqing treats them well, and I have never heard of Hu Yaoqing being disloyal and deliberately cheating his friends.
At this point, Hu Yaoqing told him his real purpose. At first, Song Chaoyuan listened calmly, but as he listened, his expression gradually became a little surprised, his brows slightly wrinkled, and even his look became serious.
Listening carefully to Hu Yaoqing's words, Song Chaoyuan did not say anything or interrupt him. Only after Hu Yaoqing had told him his thoughts in detail did Song Chaoyuan completely understand Hu Yaoqing's intention.
One has to admit that Hu Yaoqing is not as reckless and rough as he looks. On the contrary, he is very delicate inside. Although the whole layout is different from his original idea, especially because Song Yuanchao later intervened in this matter in other ways, the whole situation suddenly became chaotic and many uncertain factors emerged. However, Hu Yaoqing was able to find the root of the problem and react quickly. He also took advantage of Song Zijun's company's eagerness to raise funds and half-forced Song Yuanchao to stand with him.
But after thinking about it carefully, Song Yuanchao was not too angry. The shopping mall is a battlefield, this is a phrase that Song Yuanchao always says.
It is normal to cheat each other in the business world, and what's more, Hu Yaoqing's doing does not actually do any harm to himself. On the contrary, from the perspective of Song Zijun's company, Song Yuanchao had to be forced to accept Hu Yaoqing's kindness.
"I didn't expect you to be so thoughtful. You've changed a lot over the years. I'm really impressed ."
"I'm so ashamed. It's just a little calculation. It's not worth mentioning. Haha, it's not worth mentioning." Hu Yaoqing smiled humbly, but the pride in his eyes could not be concealed.
"So, you think you have me this time? Aren't you afraid that I won't agree?" Song Yuanchao asked back.
Hu Yaoqing said calmly: "I can't do anything if you disagree. We are old friends. Besides, aren't we here to discuss this with you? And if this thing is really implemented, it will be good for you. You don't really want to acquire Shi Lei's company, do you? If that's your consideration, then I won't say anything and will leave right away. Just think that I guessed wrong."
Song Yuanchao didn't say anything, thinking silently.
Hu Yaoqing was right. He had never thought of acquiring Shi Lei's company, and Song Chaoyuan was sure that Hu Yaoqing didn't have this idea either, otherwise they wouldn't be sitting together bargaining today.
And Hu Yaoqing's guess was correct, this operation would indeed be beneficial to him. But then again, how could it not be beneficial to Hu Yaoqing?
Furthermore, from a business perspective, business war is not a place for emotional warfare. If you cannot keep a cool head in a business war and consider issues from a fundamental perspective, then you are not a qualified businessman.
In addition, this matter is not just between Song Yuanchao and Hu Yaoqing. Song Yuanchao also has to be responsible for other people. He can't let his friends suffer because of his momentary impulsiveness, right?
"Aren't you worried about the serious consequences of doing this? Don't forget the Lu family... and Zhang Liming..."
"If I were afraid, I wouldn't do this. Besides, as long as we accomplish this, there's nothing to be afraid of from the Lu family! By then, they'll have a lot of shit behind them, so how could they care about us?" Hu Yaoqing said confidently.
Song Yuanchao understood why Hu Yaoqing thought this way. The reason he asked Liu Da to find him, and also why Hu Yaoqing showed up in person later, was to use this incident to attack the kid from the Lu family and thus cause some trouble for the Lu family.
The old man of the Hu family will not live for many years. Once the old man is gone, the Hu family will face an awkward situation of a lack of successors. At this time, the Lu family, which used to have a bad relationship with the Hu family, is now very popular. In addition, there is Zhang Liming who has turned his fortunes around and the Zhang family behind him. If the two join forces, it will not be a good thing for Hu Yaoqing.
This is exactly what Hu Yaoqing was thinking, so he wanted to take this opportunity to deal a heavy blow to his opponent. This was also the main reason why Hu Yaoqing still did not give up and even intervened in other ways after Song Yuanchao clearly refused Hu Yaoqing's cooperation.
This was true for Hu Yaoqing, but it was also true for Song Yuanchao. The kid from the Lu family almost pushed Si Te into the abyss, and Song Yuanchao always remembered this hatred. As for Zhang Liming, although the grudge was over, Zhang Liming intervened again. When the two merged, Song Yuanchao would naturally be wary.
However, the subsequent developments were somewhat unexpected, especially when Zhang Liming brought him a message through Lin Yuhang, which made Song Yuanchao think deeply. In addition to the secret investigation and investigation these days, Song Yuanchao vaguely understood Zhang Liming's thoughts.
On the surface, Zhang Liming and the boy from the Lu family are in the same group, but in fact, Zhang Liming does not want to be too involved with the other party. The reason why he called Lin Yuhang and conveyed the message to Song Yuanchao through Lin Yuhang was that Zhang Liming had already realized the risk and used this method to express his attitude.
Thinking about Hu Yaoqing's current attitude and determination, Song Yuanchao finally understood everything. He couldn't help but feel that the timing Hu Yaoqing chose and everything he did were just right.
Song Yuanchao is not a person who hesitates. Now that things have come to this point, he has thought it through and naturally will not object to cooperating with Hu Yaoqing.
Moreover, this cooperation is not a bad thing for both parties. It can achieve their respective goals and strike against the opponent. Why not do it?
When Hu Yaoqing heard with his own ears that Song Yuanchao agreed and made a clear statement, a look of excitement instantly flashed across his face, and he suddenly became more energetic.
He picked up the wine glass in front of him and gestured to Song Yuanchao. Song Yuanchao didn't say anything and also raised his glass. The two of them clinked their glasses lightly, and with the crisp sound of clinking glasses, their cooperation was achieved, and they became complete allies on this matter.
