Global Tycoon: You Call This A Small Achievement?

After Jardine Matheson backed down, He Zhou successfully took over the shares of the South China Morning Post from British investors, and his shareholding ratio jumped to 85.7%.

As for the remaining 14.3% in the secondary market, he no longer intends to continue to acquire it, because there are fewer and fewer stocks circulating in the market and the price is getting higher and higher.

When the shareholding ratio is already so concentrated, it is better to apply directly to the exchange for forced delisting. Retail investors and institutions holding shares will either be repurchased by Oriental News Company at the closing price of the day, or they will keep it in their own hands. .

After receiving the application, the exchange directly approved it. With such a concentration of equity, it complied with the general delisting and privatization procedures.

At the same time, the exchange announced immediately that it would suspend trading in the South China Morning Post.

The news spread quickly and widely, and public opinion was in an uproar.

Especially the Hong Kong newspaper industry is shocked. They know more than ordinary people and know exactly what the acquisition of the South China Morning Post means!

Among English-language newspapers, the South China Morning Post, which has the largest sales volume, was so easily controlled by Oriental Newspaper Company and completed its privatization without even the slightest news leaking out before.

Both Ming Pao and Sing Tao Daily couldn't help but scream after hearing the official announcement.

The most uncomfortable person was Hu Xianer of Xingdao Group, who was directly stunned by the news.

Originally, the Sing Tao Group was overwhelmed by the Oriental Newspaper Company in the field of Chinese newspapers. With her strong intervention, she did not hesitate to borrow money and forcefully launched the 'Sing Tao News Agency' project, trying her best to restore the image of the Sing Tao Group. point.

But now Sing Tao News Agency is only on paper. Before it can be implemented, it is reported that Oriental Newspaper Company has taken control of the South China Morning Post!

And it's not just an ordinary holding, it's an absolute holding. After today, most of the few circulating shares scattered on the secondary market will return to the hands of Oriental News Company.

Now, the gap between the media business of Sing Tao Group and Oriental Newspaper Company is even greater!

It happened that at this time, some colleagues in Xiangjiang discovered that in recent times, in addition to completing the privatization of the South China Morning Post, Oriental Newspaper Company also successively purchased one of the four major mainstream newspapers in Malaya. Nanyang Siang Pau" and the well-established "Seventy-Two Banks" have even completed preliminary integration.

Several pieces of news were exposed one after another, which not only made the Hong Kong newspaper industry dizzy, but also made ordinary Hong Kong citizens who did not have a clear understanding of the strength of Oriental Newspaper Company secretly suffer.

It turns out that Oriental Newspaper Company is so powerful that some people even exclaimed that Oriental Newspaper Company is invincible in the field of Yazhou!

For a time, even when the two Chinese-funded giants started wars with the British-funded companies, the limelight was robbed by Oriental Newspaper Company.

At this time, Mingpao Group Headquarters.

Cha Liangyong slowly took off his reading glasses, looked around at the key members, and said with a smile: "Is there anyone still talking about competing with Oriental News Company?"

Everyone below lowered their heads, not daring to look directly at him.

In fact, the strength gap between the two has reached an extremely huge point. Even the most arrogant person has no confidence at all at this moment.

"It's better for you, the investigator, to be discerning!" someone said dryly.

Cha Liangyong waved his hand and said with some emotion: "I just expected that young man to do great things, but who would have thought that in just a short period of time, he would become so popular, oh no, it should make the entire Hong Kong paper media Are you trembling for it?"

"Now, the pressure is on Sing Tao News Group..."

As he said that, Zha Liangyong touched the fine stubble on his chin and suddenly laughed a few times in a disrespectful manner: "If I remember correctly, the little girl from the Sing Tao Group planned to set up Sing Tao News Agency and Oriental News Agency. Newspaper company Oriental News Agency competes in the ring.”

"I'm afraid I'm going to cry now!"

Sing Tao Group Headquarters.

After receiving several blows from the news, Hu Xianer locked herself in the CEO's office without seeing anyone.

She was lying on the table, her head buried under the table, her shoulders were slightly hunched, and there was a faint sound of sobbing.

The sun shines through the floor-to-ceiling windows evenly on her body, soft and warm.

Especially her side face, the sunlight spread on her face, as if it cast a dreamy halo, her whole person was like a lazy kitten, her legs even kicked the table unconsciously, completely She is no longer as cold and stern as usual, she looks like a girl next door.

She inadvertently raised her head, and the moment she opened her eyes, her long eyelashes trembled slightly, and it seemed that the huge space in the entire office became a little brighter.

"Boss, I'm back, tell me how to reward me?"

Liu Yiyi, who had just flown back from Malaya, almost leaned into He Zhou's ear and whispered softly, which made the roots of his ears gradually turn red.

This feeling is like a pet cat using its cutest tail to tease the heartstrings of its male owner.

"."I will reward you with a whip and a candle!" He Zhou held the other person in his arms with one hand, pinched the other person's smooth chin and whispered softly.

Liu Yiyi's face turned red, her buttocks were slightly raised, her eyebrows were smiling, "It's not that I can't accept it..."

"But I still have a blank piece of paper and I don't know anything."

As Liu Yiyi said this, her watery eyes secretly looked at He Zhou. She briefly glanced at a certain location and then looked away again.

He Zhou stood up, walked to him, and said calmly: "It doesn't matter if you don't know it, you can learn. 11

"Don't worry about whether you can learn it or not. I can teach you personally."

Liu Yiyi saw that He Zhou was only one step away from her. Instead of retreating, she moved closer and asked, "What does the boss want me to learn?" (Wang Hao) "Learn this!"

Immediately afterwards, He Zhou took out three tomes from the drawer and handed them into her hands.

Liu Yiyi was a little dumbfounded. She read it hurriedly and found that the three books were "Principles of Economics", "Power Broker" and "The Lonely Inventor". Ten of them were thicker than the ten.

"Learn this?" Liu Yiyi's forehead was covered with black lines, but she soon became eager to try, "Boss, is there a reward account if you learn it well?"

He Zhou's face froze. It seemed that this little girl was really itchy. She kept saying reward.

Of course, He Zhou has always boasted that rewards and punishments are clear, and he must practice what he preaches. He is not some Huang Silang who deceives and abducts, and does all kinds of evil.

The reason why "Nanyang Siang Pau" and "72 Hong Shang Bao" were so poorly integrated into the Oriental newspaper family is this woman.

So, he pointed to the living area specially opened for him in the luxurious office, "Elbow, follow me into the room and I'll teach you how to read it!"
