Rebirth 1984: Starting from the development of Hanka

Chapter 168 Orange and the Shareholders' Meeting staged a full martial arts (6k)

Hong Kong Telephone Company and Great Eastern Telegraph and Telegraph (Hong Kong) Co., Ltd. are listed companies in Hong Kong, and their share prices plummeted on "Black Monday".

Galaxy Financial Corporation once bought the bottom of these two companies at a low price, and the number of shares held by them is quite large.

However, if you want to achieve the purpose of the acquisition, you need to talk directly with the major shareholders, otherwise there is little hope.

After Zhou Anping investigated the detailed information, he took the lead in sending someone to contact the Hong Kong Telephone Company to discuss the acquisition.

As for the Dadong Telegraph Bureau, it needs to be taken slowly.

This company is an old telecommunications company with a history of more than 100 years. During World War I, it became the communication center of the British empire; during World War II, it was responsible for battlefield communications and destroying enemy communications.

However, today's telecommunications industry has not yet flourished, so the Dadong Telegraph Bureau is not as rich as the Wujiang Group.

……

"Mr. Zhou, our Hong Kong Telephone Company is very aware of the influence of the Wujiang Group in Hong Kong. I believe that the best choice is for your company to acquire the Hong Kong Telephone Company!"

At this time, Warren Tony, general manager of Hong Kong Telephone Company, said to Zhou Anping with a smile on his face.

Zhou Anping smiled lightly when he heard the words. Although the other party said so, it was mainly because Wujiang Group was rich.

The Dadong Telegraph Bureau acquired the Hong Kong Telephone Company mainly through the merger of the two companies. In fact, the Dadong Telegraph Bureau was able to provide very little cash.

After the merger, since Dadong Telegraph and Telegraph is the acquirer, the status of the executives of the original Hong Kong Telephone Company will decline one after another.

After all, the position of general manager cannot be held by two people.

Therefore, Warren Tony and other executives of Hong Kong Telephone Company tried their best to promote Wujiang Group to acquire Hong Kong Telephone Company.

It is impossible for Wujiang Group to kick out these executives.

Money, status, influence, whatever it is, it is most suitable to sell yourself to Wujiang.

"Mr. Tony, I think it's the same. I hope you can make this happen. After the Wujiang Group acquires the Hong Kong Telephone Company, your interests will not be harmed, but it may not be the case with the Dadong Telegraph Company." Zhou Anping said straightforwardly.

Warren Tony nodded slightly, especially his position as the general manager is definitely not guaranteed.

"Mr. Zhou, don't worry, I will definitely make this happen." Warren Tony said solemnly, paused, and asked, "Excuse me, in what way does Wujiang Group plan to acquire Hong Kong Telephone Company?"

Zhou Anping replied: "The main body of the acquisition of Hong Kong Telephone Company is the Wujiang Communication Technology Company under the Wujiang Group. Galaxy Bank will provide it with a loan of 140 billion Hong Kong dollars, which is 20 billion Hong Kong dollars higher than the market value of Hong Kong Telephone Company!"

"If this is the case, then my success rate in persuading the company's shareholders to accept this condition is quite high!"

It's about his own future, and Warren Tony naturally attaches great importance to it, "However, it's best to buy it in the form of capital + shares. This will only make it easier. Many shareholders should still want to take the fast lane of Wujiang!"

Zhou Anping heard the words, thought about it, and felt that there should be no problem.

The Wujiang Group only needs to maintain control over the Hong Kong Telephone Company.

"Let's do this, Wujiang Communication Technology Co., Ltd. invested 70 billion Hong Kong dollars to acquire 51% of the shares of Hong Kong Telephone Company, leaving 49% of the shares to major shareholders and shareholders."

"Okay!" Warren Tony nodded. The conditions are so good that it is impossible for shareholders who want to come to Hong Kong Telephone Company to disagree.

Warren Tony returned to the company and told the company's executives and shareholders what he had heard from Zhou Anping.

Everyone discussed it, and many people thought that this condition was good.

Dadong Telegraph and Telegraph Co., Ltd. had a low price and wanted to directly merge the Hong Kong Telephone Company. This made the shareholders and management of the Hong Kong Telephone Company dissatisfied.

"Warren Tony, we are barely satisfied with the conditions of Wujiang Group. However, if the purchase price can be higher, that would be even better!" A shareholder named Marvin Keppel laughed. Said, "If the Wujiang Group disagrees, we can introduce the Dadong Telegraph Bureau to participate in the competition. It is the so-called 'snipe and the clam compete for the fisherman's benefit'!"

When the others heard the words, they couldn't help nodding their heads in agreement.

There is a saying: the human heart is not enough to swallow the elephant like a snake.

Warren Tony frowned slightly, thinking that this was not good, "I don't think it's right, Wujiang Group was originally invited by us, and the other party offered 70 billion Hong Kong dollars for only 51% of the shares, which is already very generous. If we Pushing forward, I'm afraid I'll mess things up!"

Marvin Keppel said with a smile: "Warren Tony, you can't say that. Since Wujiang Group wants to acquire the Hong Kong Telephone Company, they have to give us a little premium. The price quoted by the other party is not even a 20% premium. , I think this is unreasonable, at least a 50% premium will do!"

Others also said at this time: "50% may be a bit much, 30% to 40% is more reasonable..."

"Yes, we can agree to Wujiang's acquisition with at least a 30% premium!"

Warren Tony saw several major shareholders discussing, couldn't help but said: "Dadong Telegraph will never pay a 30% premium, and even 20% is not willing. Unless you are willing to accept the limited price of Dadong Telegraph (Hong Kong) The merger of the company, the acquisition of shares in the new company... However, in this way, how many people here will agree to this choice."

As soon as the voice fell, everyone fell silent.

Marvin Keppel curled his lips, and muttered in a low voice: "Wujiang Group is so rich, what's wrong with us asking for more money, it's a rare opportunity, shouldn't we take the opportunity to make a fortune from it~"

Warren Tony sighed: "I will try my best to persuade Wujiang Group to increase the purchase price..."

The next day, Warren Tony made an appointment with Zhou Anping.

For the benefit of the original shareholders, he had to tentatively ask Zhou Anping: "Mr. Zhou, the Hong Kong Telephone Company was established in the 20s. It has the exclusive right to provide and operate telephone services in Hong Kong. It has always occupied the position of the boss and monopolized the Fixed line and international phone business. Therefore, the shareholders expressed the hope that Wujiang Communication Technology Company can increase the purchase price a little more!"

Hearing this, Zhou Anping thought about it and asked, "How much?"

"According to the current market value of Hong Kong Telephone Company, the premium is 40%." Warren Tony said.

Zhou Anping frowned and said: "The current market value of Hong Kong Telephone Company is 120 billion Hong Kong dollars, a premium of 40%, which means an increase of 48 billion Hong Kong dollars..."

Zhou Anping shook his head and said, "The price premium is too high. Wujiang doesn't have to insist on Hong Kong Telephone Company. It is impossible for us to agree to this condition!"

Warren Tony said: "35% head office!"

Zhou Anping said firmly: "Wujiang can offer a 25% premium, and no more!"

Warren Tony said: "Then I'll go back and discuss it with the shareholders!"

"Okay, then you go back and discuss it carefully." Zhou Anping said calmly, he was not in a hurry.

"Then I'll say goodbye!"

Warren Tony got up and said goodbye.

……

Europe, UK.

Rex Eden's trip went relatively smoothly. He found the telecommunications service company, and after talking for about a week, he won the telecommunications service company.

The purchase price was cheaper than Li Jiacheng's later purchase price.

As long as 70 billion Hong Kong dollars.

Wujiang Group dispatched elite soldiers to take over the company and renamed it "Orange" Telecommunications Company.

The first task of Orange Telecom is to deploy GSM mobile phone services. In order to help Orange Telecom develop the GSM business, Wujiang Group provided Orange Telecom with an additional HK$30 billion.

Most of the money was used to build GSM base stations and open business offices.

At this time, Zhao Ye listened to Lesk Aiden's report, and thought that Nokia had already started to rise at this time, so he ordered: "Let Orange Telecom find Nokia to cooperate and produce customized phones for Orange Telecom!!!" Wujiang Group The mobile phone has not been developed yet, so I had to go to Nokia for cooperation.

Custom machines have not yet appeared in this era.

If Orange Telecom Company is the first to launch the "Orange customized machine", it will definitely win a large number of users.

A customized phone is a mobile phone specially customized by a telecom operator. This type of mobile phone is implanted with some extended applications and service items of the telecom operator, but restricts the service functions or networks of other operators.

Because telecom operators pay a part of the cost of customized phones, the sales price is much lower than that of ordinary mobile phones, which can attract a large number of consumers to buy.

In this era, customized machines are definitely a killer feature.

If this wave continues, Orange Telecom will soon be able to rise in the UK and even the European market.

After Zhao Ye gave Rex Eden a detailed introduction to what the customized machine is and what it does.

Rex Eden couldn't help but be amazed.

"Once the Orange customized machine comes out, it will definitely cause a great sensation in the British telecom market. This will be a very rare development opportunity for Orange Telecom!!!" Rex Eden said with emotion.

"That's right! Therefore, Orange Telecom must build a GSM base station and business hall before the 'customized phone' is released!"

"Well, I will communicate with Sean Richardson about this matter, and ask him to carry out your plan, boss!" Rex Eden nodded and said.

Sean Richardson is the new CEO of Orange Telecom, an executive hired from Vodafone with a strong management level.

……

But on the Hong Kong side, Zhou Anping's attitude is very firm. Warren Tony tried his best, but it is still difficult for Zhou Anping to give in again.

At this time, the top executives of the Dadong Telegraph Bureau did not want to engage in vicious competition with the Wujiang Group, so as to benefit the Hong Kong Telephone Company.

On this day, Luke Teresa, the general manager of Dadong Telegraph (Hong Kong) Co., Ltd., came to Zhou Anping at the request of the parent company and expressed his cooperation intention.

"Mr. Zhou, the Hong Kong Telephone Company deliberately provoked a competition between Wujiang and Dadong Telegraph to raise the stock price and reap the benefits of the fisherman. In my opinion, it is better for us to cooperate with Dadong Telegraph and Wujiang Group to jointly acquire Hongkong Telephone. Company!" Luke Theresa suggested.

Zhou Anping was slightly startled when he heard the words: "Talk about how Wujiang and Dadong Telegraph Bureau joined forces, and how the equity will be distributed in the end!"

Luke Teresa smiled and said: "After Dadong Telegraph originally planned to acquire Hong Kong Telephone Company, it will merge with Dadong Telegraph (Hong Kong) Co., Ltd. to form a new company called Hong Kong Telecom. Therefore, we The way of cooperation is that your company will pay for it, and Dadong Telegraph and Telegraph will use the Hong Kong branch as an asset to merge the Hong Kong Telephone Company and establish a Hong Kong Telecom company! As for how to distribute the shares between the two parties, I think that as long as the cooperation intention is reached , the matter of equity distribution can be negotiated slowly, it should not be a problem."

Luke Teresa smiled wryly in his heart. Dadong Telegraph and Telegraph would not be able to spend huge sums of money to acquire Hong Kong Telephone Company. If it hadn’t been for Wujiang Group’s intervention, Dadong Telegraph and Telegraph would acquire Hong Kong Telephone with a small amount of cash + equity. company.

Dadong Telegraph and Telegraph is even more worried that Wujiang Group will acquire the Hong Kong Telephone Company. With the influence and financial strength of Wujiang Group in Hong Kong, Dadong Telegraph (Hong Kong) Co., Ltd. will face a competitor that is difficult to match.

This is what the Dadong Telegraph Bureau does not want to see.

In addition, the Wujiang Group has a close relationship with the mainland. After 1997, I am afraid that Dadong Telegraph (Hong Kong) Co., Ltd. will become difficult in Hong Kong.

Instead of this, it is better to turn an enemy into a friend.

The Dadong Telegraph Bureau just wants to make money, and doesn't want to fight against Wujiang.

Therefore, Luke Teresa took the initiative to come to seek cooperation.

"Well, Mr. Teresa, I personally think that there should be no problem with what you mentioned. However, in the end, it depends on what my boss wants!" Zhou Anping said sincerely.

Luke Teresa nodded and said, "Well, I understand...Mr. Zhou, please tell Mr. Zhao the sincerity of our Dadong Telegraph Bureau, and hope that we can reach an in-depth cooperation!"

"Okay, I will!" Zhou Anping smiled and nodded.

A few minutes later, after sending Luke Teresa away, Zhou Anping called Zhao Ye and explained the purpose of Luke Teresa's visit concisely.

Zhao Ye was very surprised when he heard this.

"If that's the case, let's directly cooperate with the Dadong Telegraph Bureau and strive to occupy a dominant position in the newly established Hong Kong Telecom Company!" Zhao Ye said after thinking for a while.

If you choose not to cooperate, then Wujiang Communication Technology Company can only acquire Hong Kong Telephone Company first, and then purchase Dadong Telegraph (Hong Kong) Co., Ltd. Realize the monopoly of the telecommunications market.

Another reason is that the shareholders of the Hong Kong Telephone Company are greedy and self-righteous, and want to compete with the Dadong Telegraph and Telegraph in Wujiang and drive up the stock price.

Recently, rumors spread throughout Hong Kong that both Wujiang and Dadong Telegraph want to acquire the Hong Kong Telephone Company.

As soon as such huge good news spread, it immediately caused the stock price of Hong Kong Telephone Company to soar.

In about a week, the market value of Hong Kong Telephone Company soared to 180 billion Hong Kong dollars.

The sharp increase in the stock price of the Hong Kong Telephone Company has also to a certain extent prompted the Wujiang Group to reach a cooperation with the Dadong Telegraph.

The next day, Zhou Anping notified Luke Teresa, expressing Wujiang Group's willingness to cooperate with the Dadong Telegraph Bureau.

Next, Zhou Anping and Luke Teresa conducted several rounds of negotiations.

Five days later, the two sides reached an agreement.

Wujiang Communication Technology Co., Ltd. invested 150 billion yuan, and joined hands with Dadong Telegraph (Hong Kong) Co., Ltd. to acquire Hong Kong Telephone Company. 60% of shares.

After the two parties signed the secret agreement, they began to jointly suppress the stock price of Hong Kong Telephone Company.

The two parties jointly announced that they would abandon the acquisition of Hong Kong Telephone Company, and Wujiang Communication Technology Co., Ltd. would instead cooperate with Dadong Telegraph and Telegraph to expand the scale of the telecommunications industry of Dadong Telegraph (Hong Kong) Co., Ltd.!
Marvin Keppel and others are holding a general meeting of shareholders at this time.

"It is undoubtedly the most wise decision to attract Wujiang Group to acquire Hong Kong Telephone Company. Since we revealed that Wujiang Group wants to acquire Hong Kong Telephone Company, the company's stock price has skyrocketed!" Marvin Keppel laughed loudly, proudly Incomparable.

Other shareholders are also very happy.

However, Warren Tony and several other executives were frowning.

Both the Wujiang Group and the Dadong Telegraph Bureau have not contacted me for several days, so there will be no accidents...

Marvin Keppel was full of excitement, and continued: "As long as the delay is longer, the stock price of Hong Kong Telephone Company will increase, and we can all make a lot of money!!!"

As soon as the voice fell, an assistant hurried in outside the door.

"It's not good. Wujiang Communication Technology Co., Ltd. and Dadong Telegraph and Telegraph Bureau jointly announced that both parties have given up on the acquisition of Hong Kong Telephone Company. Instead, they will strengthen cooperation with each other and vigorously promote the development of the telecommunications industry in Hong Kong!"

As soon as the assistant finished speaking, everyone panicked!
This news is undoubtedly a bolt from the blue for the Hong Kong Telephone Company.

Marvin Keppel's obese body almost fell to the ground, and he couldn't help chanting: "It's over, it's over, the stock price of Hong Kong Telephone Company is about to plummet, and I haven't had time to cash out..."

Warren Tony couldn't help muttering "Damn."

He knew very well that it was all the greedy guys like Marvin Keppel who caused the great situation to become like this.

Both the Dadong Telegraph Bureau and the Wujiang Group hold a large number of shares in the Hong Kong Telephone Company. The combination of the two is sufficient to control the Hong Kong Telephone Company.

In order to lower the cost of acquiring Hong Kong Telephone Company, the two companies will inevitably jointly suppress Hong Kong Telephone Company, and when the time is right, they will directly partner to acquire Hong Kong Telephone Company.

The trend is over!

Warren Tony sat on the chair with a decadent expression on his face, not wanting to say a word.

Marvin Keppel and many other major shareholders are already anxious like ants on a hot pot.

Hong Kong Stock Exchange.

Following the news of the joint statement between Wujiang and Dadong Telegraph, the stock price of Hong Kong Telephone Company plummeted like an avalanche.

Shareholders of the Hong Kong Telephone Company were suddenly devastated.

"Why did Wujiang and Dadong Telegraph not acquire Hong Kong Telephone Company? Marvin Keppel, the executive director of Hong Kong Telephone Company, said yesterday that he was negotiating secretly with Wujiang and Dadong Telegraph..." An old stockholder mourned , but full of doubts.

Father, like son.

Beside the old stockholders, a stockholder who was not from the Hong Kong Telephone Company couldn't help explaining: "It's not easy. The stock price of the Hong Kong Telephone Company has risen so much. Neither Wujiang nor Dadong Telegraph Company wants to buy it. I heard that Marvin Keppel and others are greedy and have been demanding more money from Wujiang and Dadong Telegraph. As a result, they angered Wujiang and Dadong Telegraph, and instead prompted the two companies to cooperate!"

"The executives of the Hong Kong Telephone Company have done it to themselves. This is good. Wujiang and the Dadong Telegraph and Telegraph Bureau have joined forces. In the future, they will not be able to crazily seize the market share of the Hong Kong Telephone Company."

"Yes, Wujiang Group owns ATV and Oriental Daily, and its propaganda power is unprecedentedly strong, as well as its financial resources. The future of Hong Kong Telephone Company is really worrying!"

"Brother, if you believe me, sell the shares of Hong Kong Telephone Company immediately. In the future, the stock price of Hong Kong Telephone Company will continue to fall until you doubt your life!"

"Oh, I've already sold it, but unfortunately no one bought it!" The old stockholder wanted to cry but had no tears.

The thrilling morning passed, and at about 2 o'clock in the afternoon, Dadong Telegraph Bureau suddenly announced that Dadong Telegraph Bureau (Hong Kong) Co., Ltd. received investment from Wujiang Communication Technology Co., Ltd., planned to expand the number of base stations and fixed-line lines, and purchased 20 Wujiang Wanmen program-controlled switches provide citizens with better telecommunications services.

Good guy, as soon as this news comes out, it will undoubtedly make things worse for Hong Kong Telephone Company.

When the market opened in the afternoon, the stock price of Hong Kong Telephone Company continued to avalanche.

Seeing this, some people who knew the inside story couldn't help sighing, "It's really ruthless"!
At this time, Marvin Keppel and others regretted it too much.

If I knew it earlier, I would have sold the company to Wujiang Communication Technology Company, how could such a thing happen.

Right now, Marvin Keppel and others had no choice but to urge Warren Tony to contact Zhou Anping and find a way to quickly dispose of the shares in his hand.

Unfortunately, Zhou Anping declined to meet Warren Tony with various excuses.

However, within a few days, the market value of Hong Kong Telephone Company fell below 100 billion Hong Kong dollars.

Only then did Zhou Anping accept Warren Tony's meeting.

After the meeting, Zhou Anping made it clear that Wujiang and Dadong Telegraph will jointly acquire the Hong Kong Telephone Company, and the market value will be calculated at 100 billion Hong Kong dollars. Bureau of joint suppression.

Warren Tony returned to the company helplessly, and relayed Zhou Anping's meaning to the company's shareholders and senior management.

The major shareholders were already frightened at this time. Marvin Keppel said with a mournful face: "100 billion Hong Kong dollars is too low, several billions of Hong Kong dollars less than before..."

"Marvin Keppel, if everyone doesn't accept it, then wait for the company's stock price to continue to plummet." Warren Tony put on a bad look, you can do whatever you like, anyway, I, the general manager, will soon You'll be kicked out, it doesn't matter.

The acquisition of Hong Kong Telephone Company is a foregone conclusion.Wujiang and Dadong Telegraph have joined forces, and the shares in their hands are enough to own the Hong Kong Telephone Company.The current suppression of stock prices is just to buy Hong Kong Telephone Company at a low price.

Warren Tony sees it all.

In the meeting room, there was a lot of noise and arguments, more lively than the vegetable market.

At this time, many people began to complain about Marvin Keppel, because he advocated to take advantage of Wujiang Group to raise prices.

But the result is good, it has become like this.

Not long after, the shareholders' meeting was full of quarrels, and the anger came, and it turned into a full-scale martial arts. Marvin Keppel, who was fat, fought more than a dozen, and was sent to the hospital for treatment despite his defeat.

The news subsequently spread, causing Hong Kong Telephone Company's share price to plummet.

Zhao Ye was far away in Shanghai, and he also heard the news at this time. His expression was very astonished. After a while, he didn't know what to say, so he sighed and said: "Damn it, it's awesome, I'm so knowledgeable. It's..."
