Chapter 412 Knocking on the Mountain to Shock the Tiger
Now in the Hong Kong City, although the British are preparing to withdraw all, and the power of the Hong Kong Governor is not as powerful as before, but after all, he still occupies a position and suppresses various industries in the Hong Kong City, especially Approval rights for land, licenses, etc.
Dadong Company is the company used by the British to control the telephone and telecommunications industry in Hong Kong City. Although Hong Kong City Telecom, a subsidiary of Dadong Company, is no longer the exclusive telecommunications company in Hong Kong City, it is the largest one. Every year With revenue exceeding 10 billion Hong Kong dollars, it is an out-and-out cash cow.
A few years ago, when Ying Lun was really preparing to leave Hong Kong City, he began to cash out Ying Lun's properties in Hong Kong City, and only needed cash, no equity or anything like that.
Gangcheng Telecom is now the fattest piece of meat. Whichever company gets Gangcheng Telecom will control the Gangcheng Telecom industry, so the competition is very fierce.
In order for Hong Kong City Telecom to continue to have an advantage in Hong Kong City, or in other words, not to be affected before selling out, Hong Kong City Telecom does not want PHS and PHS businesses to enter Hong Kong City, and has been obstructing Ning. trading company, obtained the telecommunications license from Hong Kong City.
Now the Hong Kong City Telecommunications Administration is nominally under the jurisdiction of the Hong Kong Governor, which has delayed Ning's Trading Company's application for a Hong Kong City license.
This is also the main reason why there are rumors in Hong Kong City that Ning Trading Company, together with the inland Donglin Hi-Tech, is going to acquire Hong Kong Telecommunications Company.
With Ning's Trading Company itself, it will definitely not be able to swallow up Gangcheng Telecom Company, but with the addition of Tanglin Hi-Tech, it will be different!
More importantly, Tanglin Hi-Tech represents the mainland side, and the entire port city knows that the mainland side is extremely unwilling to let the telecommunications lifeline of the port city be taken away by foreign companies.
Tanglin Hi-Tech's entry, if it can capture Hong Kong City Telecom, it means that Hong Kong City's telecommunications industry is still in the hands of the Chinese people. This is the main reason why this rumor is spreading!
After all, logically speaking, it is completely feasible and feasible, otherwise it would not be spread so well.
“So, Tanglin Hi-Tech will join the acquisition war of Hong Kong City Telecom, competing with Hutchison Telecom, Singapore Telecom, British Telecom, StarHub Group and even Nippon Telecom under the Lee family of Hong Kong City. Hong Kong Telecom with a market value of US$18.5 billion?" Tong Lan asked, staring into Li Dongling's eyes.
"Hiss"
Ren Yuefeng, Hu Xian and other senior executives sitting in the back couldn't help but hissed.
The acquisition of Hong Kong City Telecom is definitely a She Tunxiang operation, and this is true for all acquirers.
Hong Kong City Telecom is a listed company, and its stock price has been skyrocketing in recent years. Even if there are some disturbances in Hong Kong City from time to time, it cannot stop its rising trend.
Everyone knows that a fierce battle will take place around Hong Kong City Telecom. Major acquirers will snatch Hong Kong City Telecom and raise its stock price and market value. Therefore, many Hong Kong City investment institutions and even Wall Street Over there, everyone came over to hype up the stock price of Hong Kong City Telecom, because they were not worried about not getting the deal.
As time goes by, it is estimated that the market value of Hong Kong Telecom will rise faster, and it is impossible to say that the market value will eventually rise to around 20 to 30 billion US dollars.
Gangcheng Telecom is now much more prosperous than inland China Telecom and China Unicom. It is now the largest telecommunications group in Asia. It has business in Hong Kong and around Southeast Asia. It has almost no debt. The profit is 29%, and the assets are claimed to be 300 billion Hong Kong dollars. This is definitely an exaggeration, but the strength is definitely there, otherwise how could it attract so many wolves to snatch it.
But this was before. Hong Kong City has successively issued several telecommunications licenses since a few years ago. Now the competition is fierce. Hong Kong City Telecom’s profits have begun to continue to decline. However, with the spring breeze of the Internet, it is estimated that a wave of Internet , broadband concept.
In the previous life, after the merger of Hong Kong City Telecom and PCCW Power, it coincided with the Internet boom period. Coupled with the big pie of Hong Kong City Cyberport, the market value soared to more than 600 billion Hong Kong dollars.
Tong Lan and the interviewers from Phoenix TV and other reporters on the side were all staring closely at Li Dongling's expression. Li Dongling's statement will have an important impact on the battle for telecommunications in Hong Kong City.
As long as they can get Li Dongling's statement, their trip from Hong Kong City to conduct an exclusive interview with Li Dongling will not be in vain!
At this time, Li Dongling also frowned slightly. Li Dongling was also a little hesitant about whether to join in this acquisition. This was not just about raising a large amount of money for the acquisition, but maybe It is an opportunity, or it may be a big pit!
The opportunity is of course that the future is the Internet era. Hong Kong City is one of the most famous international metropolises in the world. It is the dominant player in Southeast Asia and the Asian telecommunications industry. Compared with domestic telecommunications companies that lack overseas experience, Hong Kong City Telecom's brand awareness, influence, and experience are more likely to be accepted by Southeast Asian and overseas markets.
As long as the acquired Hong Kong City Telecom can seize the opportunity and enter the telecommunications market in Southeast Asia, it will be much easier whether it is promoting mobile phone, broadband business or future Internet business. !
In the past life, the Yangtze River Li family was able to use the concept of a cyberport to deceive the market value of the merged Hong Kong City Telecom to HK$600 billion. Compared with the concept and the gimmick, how could Li Dongling be worse than the other party?
But you can’t just watch the wolves eating meat and not seeing the wolves being beaten. The risk of acquiring Hong Kong City Telecommunications is also huge. Raising such a large sum of money, even if it is just to put on a vest, is to distinguish it from Tanglin Hi-Tech. Ensure that Tanglin Hi-Tech will not be implicated by Hong Kong City Telecom.
But the vest company also has to repay its creditors. This is like putting a tight curse on Hong Kong City Telecom. It has to pay back a lot of interest to its creditors every year. If it can't pay off in the future, then the entire Hong Kong City Telecom will be destroyed. It's in hand.
Risk and opportunity have always been twin brothers. Who can have the advantage depends on the level of the trader.
Li Dongling raised his head, and the lenses of several photographers were also aimed at Li Dongling.
“No one knows who will acquire Gangcheng Telecom, but Gangcheng Telecom should stay in Gangcheng!”
“So, when acquiring Gangcheng Telecom in the future, Dongling Will Hi-tech join forces with Ning to make a quotation?”
Faced with Tong Lan's question, Li Dongling did not answer, but just smiled with an unknown meaning.
In the eyes of a thousand people, there are a thousand Hamlets. Seeing Li Dongling's expression, Tong Lan perked up and felt that she had found the answer.
When submitting the interview draft to Asia Weekly, Tong Lan could say that Li Dongling was inclined to Dongling Hi-Tech and participate in the acquisition battle of Hong Kong City Telecom.
Of course, how to write and report is a matter between Tong Lan and Asia Weekly. As long as Li Dongling has not personally admitted it, he can "refute the rumors" at any time.
Actually, Li Dongming has not made up his mind at this moment. Should he get involved? Let the news out first, try to shake the mountain and shake the tiger, and see the reaction of all parties in Hong Kong City before making a decision. .
Such a large acquisition may involve tens or tens of billions of dollars in funds. How can it be so easy to get it done? If it doesn't take three to five years, it can be considered quick. As long as the day of signing is not reached, the world is still uncertain. There is a chance to change the day, the difference is just a matter of chips!
"Will Dongling Hi-Tech invest in Gangcheng Company in the future?" Tong Lan sorted out the interview records, looked at the time, and saw the last few minutes left, and asked Li Dongling again.
“Of course!”
“If given the opportunity, Tanglin Hi-Tech will seek to invest in certain industries in the port city. Of course, companies from the port city are also welcome to invest in the inland. This will be The most valuable place for investment in the world in the future!”
Li Dongling This is not empty talk. There are still many places worth investing in the port city, such as what Dongling Hi-Tech needs most now... the semiconductor industry.
Yes, the port city also has a semiconductor industry. In fact, the port city 20 years ago was also world-famous for its manufacturing industry, but in recent years, it has been gradually moved away.
As for the semiconductor industry, Hong Kong City is now one of the most prosperous regions in the world's semiconductor industry, except for Japan. It is a bit stronger than Bangzi. Of course, it has been constantly being beaten by Bangzi in recent years. Beyond.
Hong Kong City also once said that it would become the chip center of Asia and build a Silicon Port. The founder of SMIC planned to place it in Hong Kong City as the first choice, but in the end, he did not get the land...
