章節 1003: Chapter 1003: The Song family seeks help
It wasn't just the Song family that stabbed them in the back, there was also HSBC, Standard Chartered Bank, and Cao Guangbiao.
Forget about Cao Guangbiao and Huo Yingdong. They originally had no deep relationship with the Swire consortium, and their cooperation was only in the Hong Kong Airport Ground Services Company. It would be too difficult to retaliate, and it was difficult to operate, so Norman Shih Yahuai simply ignored it.
Of the remaining three, HSBC and Standard Chartered Bank are still above the Song family in terms of their closeness to the entire Swire consortium and the Shih Yahuai family.
This time, HSBC and Standard Chartered Bank stabbed even deeper, not only in Cathay Pacific Airways, but also in Hong Kong Aircraft Engineering Company.
However, Norman Shih Ya-Huai could only choose to ignore it, because HSBC and Standard Chartered Bank were the benefactors of the Swire Group. If he chose to retaliate, the Swire Group would ultimately suffer greater losses.
The Song family was different.
The Song family's rise to power was strictly speaking dependent on their cooperation with the Swire consortium and the Shih Yaohuai family. If it weren't for the Shih Yaohuai family, how could the Song family from the mainland have completely established themselves and thrived?
The Song family rose to prominence by working as a comprador for the Swire Group. To put it bluntly, the Song family were servants and lackeys in the eyes of the Shih Yahuai family, except that this servant and lackey turned out to be capable and thrived under the big tree, earning the right to eat at the same table as them.
However, now this servant has betrayed them without any gratitude, causing them huge losses.
Mentally, Norman Shih Yahuai hates the Song family even more.
Not to mention that compared to Standard Chartered Bank and HSBC, the Song family is undoubtedly a soft target. They also hold shares in many companies under the Swire group, but the quantities are not large, and they can be easily manipulated with a simple operation.
No matter how you look at it, the Song family is the best target for revenge and establishing one's authority.
Norman Shi Yawei wants the outside world to know that although they lost to the Jiuding group, a tiger is still a tiger and will eat people!
At the same time, he also wanted to use this as a warning to the other juniors and partners in the Swire Group, so that they would realise the consequences of betrayal!
...
Upon hearing his uncle's words, Wade Shiyahuai's eyes reddened as he said angrily, 'Yes, uncle, the Song family must pay a greater price, and we will recover our losses from the Song family!'
His hatred for the Song family in his heart was no less than Norman Shiyahuai's.
After all, in the Shih Ya Huai family, the only business under his control was Swire Pacific. Now, due to the Soong family, Swire Pacific had suffered heavy losses and was on the verge of being lost. Among the entire Shih Ya Huai family, his interests had suffered the most.
Without Swire Pacific, which he had run for many years, it would be difficult and time-consuming for him to enter other companies and rebuild his foundation. The point was that each company was still occupied by someone else, and it was not so easy to get involved.
Norman Shiyaohuai glanced at his nephew, as if he could see through his innermost thoughts.
However, Norman Shiyaohuai was not in a position to say anything or make any promises in this regard.
He said to Wade Shiyaohuai, 'Wade, just do what I just told you, and I will take care of the Song family myself.'
Wade Shiyaohuai nodded and replied, 'Yes, Uncle.'
...
The battle between the Swire Group and the Jiuding Group was already eye-catching, and public opinion was still hot.
With Wei De Shiyahuai's deliberate promotion, the news that Jiuding Securities wanted to acquire Swire Pacific Airways spread, and even key information about the takeover offer spread.
In order to achieve his goal, Wei De Shiyahuai did not refuse any more interviews with reporters, but instead answered a few questions when he was surrounded by reporters at one time, indicating that he did not oppose the sale of Swire Pacific Airways. However, he was vague about some key issues such as the price and the target of the sale, leaving a lot of room for imagination.
Because Wade Schiaway did not resist the takeover firmly, even if Wang Qizha guessed his plan, for the sake of face and image, he could not let Welly immediately retaliate by diluting Swire Pacific's shareholding.
He could only keep a close eye on Wed Schiawai's movements while sending people to repeatedly urge Swire Pacific to speed up negotiations.
Amidst all this turmoil, as the Hong Kong middle school students graduated, the publicity for Jiuding University, which had been ongoing, increased again, with Jiuding University's soft-sell advertisements overwhelming the media.
And in order to recruit as many students with good academic performance as possible and lay a firmer foundation for Jiuding University,
With Xia Yu's guidance and approval, the wealthy Jiuding University announced a series of scholarship systems and work-study systems, which caused a sensation in Hong Kong and quickly spread throughout Southeast Asia.
The scholarships were divided into full, special, first, second and third prizes, with the lowest third prize being 1,000 Hong Kong dollars per semester. The full scholarship was even more generous, as it waived all university fees, including tuition, accommodation, food and books.
Under the work-study system, nearly a thousand work-study positions were directly announced. Although the treatment is not comparable to the salary in society, it is enough for students' living.
As for the point of directly giving grants to extremely poor students, Xia Yu was once proposed by a professor at a meeting at Jiuding University, but it was rejected by Xia Yu.
It wasn't that he didn't want to spend the money, but he didn't want students to develop the mentality of not working for a living. The tuition fees at Jiuding University were not high, and for students, as long as they were willing to go out into society during the summer and winter vacations to gain practical experience, they could definitely earn enough to pay for their university fees.
He also had the idea of having his own company provide practical positions, which would not only achieve a win-win situation for all parties, but also allow the students trained by Jiuding University to become familiar with his company in advance, which would be helpful for future talent to join.
In addition, Xia Yu also suggested to Wang Gengwu that after the results of the candidates are announced, the admissions office should keep an eye on the top 100 candidates in Hong Kong and the top students from Southeast Asian countries, and try every means to recruit these students.
If full scholarships are not enough, then pay different prices according to the students' grades to persuade their parents to let them study. The publicity campaign should be carried out in parallel with other campaigns. Whether it is giving money or solving employment problems, as long as it is considered that the student is worth the price and the requirements do not exceed the bottom line, then just go for it.
Sure enough, after the test results were announced, Jiuding University did just that. The quality of the admissions at Xiangjiang University and Xiangjiang Chinese University was far inferior to that of Jiuding University, and most of the smarter students were poached, making the two universities angry and jumping up and down, and even publicly accusing Jiuding University of being vulgar, pressuring people with 'money', and affecting the school's ethos...
However, Xia Yu didn't care at all, and Wang Gengwu also ignored it with a thick face. Special measures were used during a special period, and in order to make Jiuding University grow better, what was the point of a little criticism?
After Jiuding University's reputation had been established, these criticised measures would naturally disappear.
In the midst of all the chaos, it was already July in a flash, and summer was here.
On this day, Xia Yu was in his office, blowing on the air conditioning as he approved documents, when Song Bo entered Xia Yu's office under the guidance of the receptionist.
Xia Yu had just asked Song Bo to sit down when Song Bo let out a sigh and said something that made Xia Yu's eyebrows rise.
'Mr Xia, I have come to you for help. No one but you can save the Song family now!'
