Master Song said with a smile, "These shares seem to be worth about three billion US dollars. Considering some intangible assets, the shares may be worth more, and there is room for appreciation in the future. But choosing the shares means choosing a lot of trouble. "
Speaking of this, Master Song paused for a moment, took a sip of water, and then continued, "Family Liu is such a big family. The internal relationships are intricate. The equity structure of their group is also very complicated. You took 40% of it, which will affect the interests of too many people. Once these people retaliate, it will be very troublesome in the future. In addition, you only have the shares. Do you have the energy to intervene in the actual management? "
"I'm afraid that's not realistic," Xia Ruofei said.
"That's for sure. Even if you send a professional team to settle in, it will be difficult to form an effective management." Master Song said, "Although the group is very large, it is still a family business in essence. The management is the backbone of Family Liu. I can tell you with certainty that if you accept these shares, in less than a year, the shares in your hands will become worthless. They will only leave you with a shell company. If they are more scheming, they will leave you with a large amount of debt!"
"That scheming?" Xia Ruofei could not help but be speechless.
"You should never underestimate the distortion of human nature in the face of interests." Master Song said, "I just said that the equity structure of Family Liu's group is very complicated, and they have a large number of companies that are actually controlled. On the surface, they have no connection with Family Liu's family group, but they can realize the transfer of high-quality assets at any time. When the time comes, only a mess will be left for you!"
"I think I understand." Xia Ruofei said with a smile, "In fact, I don't plan to take any shares. I am not interested in Family Liu's business."
Even if Liu Qunfeng did not say so, Xia Ruofei was not prepared to choose the shares as the treatment fee, because he was a person who was afraid of trouble. And as Master Song said, choosing the shares meant choosing a lot of trouble.
Perhaps the problems that Xia Ruofei could think of were not as thorough as Master Song's analysis, but just what he could think of was enough to give him a headache.
Master Song laughed and said, "As for the three billion USD in cash, I believe you won't be too interested."
"Oh? Why would you make such a judgment? "Xia Ruofei asked with a smile." That's three billion US dollars! If I take it, it's enough for me to squander for a few lifetimes! "
Master Song laughed and said, "You're testing me, kid … Ruofei, based on my understanding of you, your pursuit of money is not that strong. If it's just financial freedom, you have more than enough assets now. I believe you won't be blinded by money."
Then, Master Song changed the topic and said, "Of course, no one will complain about having too much money. It's a waste not to take the money that comes to your door. At least, it's much more reliable than choosing the 40% shares."
"You're right. To be honest, when I heard Mr. Liu propose this plan, I was a little tempted," Xia Ruofei said with a smile.
"But even with Family Liu's financial resources, it's almost impossible to take out three billion USD." Master Song said, "In fact, except for those super big companies, there are almost no enterprises with such a scale of cash flow. So even if you choose this plan, it's basically impossible to get the money in one go. It's very likely that they will propose a plan to pay in installments or through some assets. In short, there will be a lot of trouble. "
"So …" Xia Ruofei said, "You're suggesting that I choose to take part of the cash and Qingyun Island?"
"Among the three plans proposed so far, this is undoubtedly the most suitable one for you." Master Song said, "And based on my understanding of Mr. Liu, if there is a standard in his mind for these three plans, I think he wants you to choose the first plan the most, and the second would be the 40% shares, and the last would be the Qingyun Island plus cash!"
"Oh?" Xia Ruofei's interest was suddenly piqued. He said with a smile, "I thought you would set the priority of the shares as the highest! I also thought that Mr. Liu didn't want me to choose the shares! And … Liu Qunfeng also approached me in private, hoping that I wouldn't choose the shares … "
"Hmph!" Master Song sneered and said, "Liu Qunfeng is still a little lacking compared to his father. At least on this matter, his vision is a little short."
"So … this Qingyun Island is not simple!" Xia Ruofei said with a smile, "I really don't know anything about this. Why don't you tell me more about it?"
"Family Liu's development of Qingyun Island is a secret, but to Song Jia, it's not a secret at all." Master Song said, "Qingyun Island is actually not in Huaxia, but an island in the South Pacific Ocean. Legally, it belongs to the country of Bonautu, but Family Liu has actually taken control of the island through some political operations and has been recognized by Bonautu."
"Well, so … they have spent a lot of effort on this island," Xia Ruofei said.
"In fact, the development of Qingyun Island began more than ten years ago, and this is also the overseas project that Mr. Liu values the most." Master Song said, "He built Qingyun Island as the last habitat for Family Liu, in order to prevent Family Liu's people from having no place to stay when the situation in the country is irreversible. So, after more than ten years of development and construction, this island has become a strong fortress. It is simply a military fortress. "
Xia Ruofei heard this and suddenly became very interested. He said, "You mean … Family Liu has also set up military facilities on this island?"
"Yes, and it is definitely a big deal!" Master Song said, "According to the information we have, there is a small mountain on Qingyun Island that has been basically hollowed out. The shelter embedded in the mountain can withstand the impact of a nuclear explosion. In addition, they have also spent a lot of money to set up a large number of defense systems on the surface and hired mercenaries to guard it all year round. It can be said that it is impregnable. "
"Now that you mention it, I am very interested!" Xia Ruofei said, "This is a ready-made paradise!"
"According to the official data, Qingyun Island is almost five square kilometers in size, which is roughly the size of two Yongxing Islands." Master Song continued, "However, after Family Liu obtained the permanent ownership of Qingyun Island, they have been enclosing the island. Now, they have expanded it by one or two square kilometers, which is still very large. Qingyun Island also has a natural deep-water port, and Family Liu has also built a dock there. In addition, they have also built a three-kilometer-long runway, which can accommodate the take-off and landing of Boeing 737-class aircraft. The conditions are quite good! "
Xia Ruofei said with some surprise, "It is much bigger than I thought! I thought it was just a small island! "
Master Song said with a smile, "If it was just a private island in the ordinary sense, why would Mr. Liu price it at 2.5 billion USD? According to my estimation, Family Liu should have invested no less than this amount over the years. So, if I had to choose, between three billion USD and Qingyun Island plus five hundred million USD, I would definitely choose the latter. "
"Understood!" Xia Ruofei nodded and said, "Grandpa Song, thank you for your advice! This information is very helpful to me! "
"So, you already have a choice?" Master Song asked with interest.
"If I had to choose one of the three, and you have analyzed it so thoroughly, of course, I would choose Qingyun Island." Xia Ruofei said with a smile, "But now that the initiative is on my side, why would I have to collect treatment fees according to Mr. Liu's proposal? Qingyun Island is one of the options! But I still want to have a chance to inspect it on the spot. After all, the cost of maintaining such an island is not low. If I don't have a high usage rate, there is no need for this at all. "
"That's true." Master Song said, "An island like this is specially prepared for a big family. You are single, so it is useless for you to have such a big place!"
"I have a girlfriend, okay?" Xia Ruofei said unconvincingly, "The title of single dog doesn't suit me anymore."
He added in his heart, "Not only do I have a girlfriend, but I have more than one!"
Master Song laughed and said, "You are not married, so legally speaking, you are single, right?"
Then, Master Song said, "But if you choose Qingyun Island, you can sell it to Family Song even if you don't need it! I can give you an additional five percent based on the actual valuation. But … we also have to pay in installments. After all, the Family Song can't afford such a large sum of money. "
Xia Ruofei said, "If you want, I can get it from Family Liu and transfer it to you."
"That won't do!" Master Song said without hesitation, "If it is just a small gift, even if it is a little more expensive, I will take it as your filial piety and accept it. But the whole Qingyun Island … I can't accept it!"
"Then I will have to consider whether to choose Qingyun Island or not." Xia Ruofei said with a smile, "According to my wishes, I hope that Family Liu will make some concessions in other matters. In terms of financial benefits, I don't want too much."
Master Song naturally understood Xia Ruofei's meaning at once. He said seriously, "Ruofei, when it comes to some matters between the families, try not to get involved if you can. The situation between Family Liu and Family Song is very complicated. Last time, you broke the rules a little, so you must not get involved this time!" "Understood!" Xia Ruofei nodded and said. "Grandpa Song, thank you for your advice! This information will be very helpful to me! "
"So, you already have a choice?" Master Song asked with interest.
"If it's a choice of three, and you have analyzed it so thoroughly, of course I will choose Qingyun Island." Xia Ruofei said with a smile, "But now the initiative is on my side. Why must I collect the treatment fee according to Elder Liu's proposal? Qingyun Island is one of the options! But I still want to have a chance to visit it on the spot. After all, the cost of maintaining such an island is not low. If I don't use it much, there is no need at all. "
"That's true." Master Song said, "This kind of island is specially prepared for the big families. You are single, so it is useless for you to have such a big place!"
"I have a girlfriend, okay?" Xia Ruofei said unconvinced, "The name 'single dog' doesn't suit me anymore."
He added in his heart, "Not only do I have a girlfriend, but I have more than one!"
Master Song laughed and said, "You are not married. Legally speaking, aren't you single?"
Then, Master Song said, "But if you choose Qingyun Island, you can sell it to our Family Song even if you don't need it! I can pay you five percent more according to the actual estimate. But … we also have to pay in installments. After all, Family Song can't afford such a large sum of money. "
Xia Ruofei said, "If you want it, I can get it from Family Liu and then transfer it to you."
"That won't do!" Master Song said without hesitation, "If it is just a small gift, even if it is a little more precious, I will accept it as your filial piety. But the whole Qingyun Island … I can't accept it!"
"Then I will have to consider whether to choose Qingyun Island or not." Xia Ruofei said with a smile, "According to my wishes, I hope that Family Liu can make some concessions in other matters. In terms of financial benefits, I don't want too much."
