Chapter 437 Pie of the Century
After Liang Botao arrived at the yacht where Li Dongling was sitting, personnel from Taifu Group and BOC Port City on the other yacht also arrived one after another.
"Manager Cao!"
Li Dongling took the lead in shaking hands with Cao Zongyan, the manager of Bank of China Port City Company, and said to Cao Zongyan, "Thank you, Manager Cao, for your support!"
Li Dongling’s words are somewhat pun-intended. This time when he came to Hong Kong City, BOC Hong Kong City Company made a lot of efforts, including putting pressure on Zhao Shinan and the Zhao family. BOC Hong Kong City Company also took action secretly.
There must be coordination between the Yanjing Economic and Trade Commission, the Post and Telecommunications Department, the Foreign Exchange Department, and the Hong Kong City Office, but Li Dongling also has to accept the BOC Hong Kong City Company's side.
In addition, next, Tanglin Hi-Tech will acquire Hong Kong City Telecom, and there are many things in the future that will also require the support of Bank of China Hong Kong City Corporation.
"Mr. Li is polite, this is what you should do!"
Cao Zongyan said with a smile on his slightly chubby cheeks, Li Dongling came to Hong Kong City this time, for BOC Hong Kong City Company To be honest, it is also an opportunity!
The Bank of China Port City Company was established very early, but its development in the port city has always been inferior to that of foreign banks such as HSBC. For example, the Li family of the Yangtze River has the closest relationship with HSBC.
As for how close the relationship is, in the past, every time the Hong Kong economy and real estate were in bad shape, HSBC would lend a lot of money to the Yangtze River Li family, and the Yangtze River Li family would buy land at low prices.
Then the land prices in Hong Kong City will be speculated again. As for the price of land, who will benefit from it? In the past few decades, the land in Hong Kong City has been in the hands of the British. Various real estate companies in Hong Kong City, Whether you are buying or speculating on land, you have to spend money to buy it and pay taxes. If the money does not fall into the hands of the Hong Kong Governor's Office and the British, who else can it fall into?
The BOC Hong Kong City Company also had a sensational Feng Shui war with HSBC in Central. Hong Kong City was already extremely popular in Feng Shui theory. The Feng Shui war between BOC Hong Kong City Company and HSBC shocked Southeast Asia. They are even more convinced about Feng Shui, and all kinds of Feng Shui masters who are difficult to distinguish between true and false are beginning to appear.
Many of the wars between giant companies are quite unexpected. They ask Feng Shui masters to kill each other, burn their money trees to death with hot water, steal the koi carps raised by their rivals, etc...
But this can also be seen from this point about the relationship between the two parties. The arrival of Li Dongling and Dongling Hi-Tech has given Bank of China Harbor City Company an opportunity to change the situation.
For example, this time Bank of China Harbor City Company has helped Tangling Hi-Tech to settle its income in Harbor City, as well as Ning's Trading Company, which has a close relationship with Tanglin Hi-Tech. Which bank will they choose to cooperate with in the future?
Furthermore, if Hong Kong City Telecom is really acquired, Hong Kong City Telecom, one of the top three most valuable companies in Hong Kong City, will also cooperate with BOC Hong Kong City Corporation in a series of businesses such as deposits and salary payment. For BOC Hong Kong City Company, it is also a huge change in the Hong Kong City financial industry!
After Cao Zongyan, Li Dongling shook hands with Lu Pengyuan, the vice president sent by Taifu Group.
Liang Botao looked at the people on the yacht. As one of the largest Chinese-owned investment banks in the port city, he was naturally familiar with Cao Zongyan, Lu Pengyuan and others. Upon arrival, Liang Botao couldn't help but think of the previous rumors, which made his expression change.
With blue sea and blue sky, the yacht was sailing on the sea. Li Dongling said to Liang Botao, "President Liang, I invite you to come here today. I have a project and I want to ask Peregrine for help!"
"I have already said that Peregrine is interested in anything related to Mr. Li!" Liang Botao said directly.
Li Dongling glanced at Liang Botao for a few times, then looked at Ning Wenke and Lin Xianhui on the side, and said directly, "This time, I invite everyone to come over, mainly to negotiate the takeover of Hong Kong City Telecom held by Taifu Group Equity."
Hearing this, Cao Zongyan still had that smile on his face. Before he came, he already knew the attitude of BOC Hong Kong City Company and supported Donglin Hi-Tech within a certain range. Take over the equity of Hong Kong City Telecommunications from Taifu Group.
This matter involves Yanjing Post and Telecommunications and other departments, and Bank of China Harbor City Company needs to make a statement. It must support companies from the mainland, but after all, they belong to different units, and Bank of China Harbor City Company does not Maybe I will defend this matter unconditionally no matter the cost, I can only support it as much as possible.
Liang Botao's expression condensed. Looking at the posture in front of him, he knew that the previous rumors in the media were really groundless!
"This time, Tanglin Hi-Tech will join hands with Ning's Trading Company to support Cyberport Company and join the board of directors of Hong Kong City Telecommunications. We also hope that Bank of China Hong Kong City Company and Peregrine Company can provide support for Cyberport Company!"
Li Dongling glanced at Lin Xianhui, who placed the Cyberport company information of the vest company in front of several people.
Liang Botao, Cao Zongyan, and Lu Pengyuan picked up Cyberport's information, took a glance at it, and put it aside. They all knew that Cyberport and other companies were just vests. , the most critical thing is the Donglin Hi-Tech Company behind it.
"Taifu Group is willing to cooperate with Donglin Hi-Tech. This is also the wish of the parent company of Taifu Group!"
After Lu Pengyuan came up, he also expressed his attitude. The big man behind Taifu Group The shareholder is Inland's CITIC. If the Yanjing post and telecommunications department and Inland's office in Gangcheng had not come forward, no one would have intervened if Taifu Group wanted to sell its stake in Gangcheng Telecom to anyone. However, Yanjing had spoken. , it is definitely impossible to sell this equity at will, at least not to Singtel and others.
"However, in business terms, Taifu Group also spent a lot of money to acquire this equity. In addition, Taifu Group will also acquire the equity of Chunghwa Electric.
Singapore Telecom is also Discuss with us the acquisition of this equity, so... we hope to complete this transaction at a reasonable price!"
Lu Pengyuan finished speaking, obviously not wanting to use this 8% at a cabbage price! The equity of Gangcheng Telecom was given to Dongling High-tech in vain. In his words, he also secretly pointed out that the equity of Hong Kong City Telecom is very popular now, and Singapore Telecom is also eyeing it. There are many companies eyeing this equity.
“Of course!”
Li Dongling glanced at Lu Pengyuan, rubbed his brows, and then said with a smile, "Cyberport Company must make acquisitions at a reasonable price and will not let Taifu Group lose money!"
Li Dongling and Ning After Wenke and Lin Xianhui discussed in low voices, Ning Wenke looked at Lu Pengyuan and said, "Cyberport Company is willing to acquire the shares held by Taifu Group at a price of HK$12.62 per share according to the current market price of Hong Kong City Telecom. 900 million shares of Hong Kong Telecom!”
When Lu Pengyuan heard this price, he thought about it. Before he came, the board of directors of Taifu Group also discussed with the parent company that Taifu held It is certain that some of the shares of Gangcheng Telecom will be sold to Tanglin Hi-Tech, but at what price they will be sold is debatable.
The higher the selling price, the more beneficial it is to the Taifu Group. As executives of the Taifu Group, they will naturally have more income.
Ning Wenke’s bid is quite satisfactory. If the news is revealed, then Singapore Telecom will not be able to bid higher. More acquirers will emerge and raise the purchase price by two. It is not impossible to reach 30%.
But just when Lu Pengyuan was about to speak, he raised his head and saw Cao Zongyan looking at him with a somewhat half-smiling expression. Lu Pengyuan felt a thrill in his heart. He suddenly thought that he could indeed cheat him this time. Tanglin High-tech, but if we look back, if we force Donglin High-tech to withdraw from this acquisition, it will be a source of trouble!
When the time comes, it’s hard to say whether Taifu Group will pay the price, but Lu Pengyuan, who is in charge of this negotiation, is probably determined to get out.
“Taifu Group agreed to transfer 8% of its equity in Hong Kong City Telecom to...Cyberport Company at a price of HK$11.3 billion at the current stock price, but required cash payment to complete the transaction! " Lu Pengyuan said.
Li Dongling thought about it for a while, then nodded, "Cyberport will pay the down payment within three days, and the rest of the acquisition fee will be paid off within half a year. After all, this acquisition is not a small one. The amount, Cyberport also needs time to raise the acquisition funds!”
Lu Pengyuan opened his mouth and wanted to say that the delay was too long, but seeing Li Dongling’s look, he still shut up and responded.
After the conversation, Lu Pengyuan nodded to Liang Botao and Cao Zongyan, turned around and boarded the yacht on which he came, and returned to the port city to report the situation to Taifu's board of directors.
After Lu Pengyuan left, Li Dongling looked at Liang Botao and the two of them, "I think you two also know it. I don't need to say more. The funds for Cyberport to acquire the equity of Hong Kong City Telecom will also be needed in To acquire 5% of the equity in the Hong Kong Stock Exchange market, I hope BOC Port City and Peregrine can raise this fund for Cyberport Company!”
“BOC Port City Company needs Cyberport! The company provides some mortgage guarantees and can provide loans of US$600 million!" Cao Zongyan said at this time.
When they heard that BOC Hong Kong City Company had provided a loan of US$600 million, Ning Wenke and Lin Xianhui couldn't help but look at Li Dongling.
This time, the acquisition of the equity of Hong Kong City Telecom from Taifu Group, plus the 5% equity of Hong Kong City Telecom in the Hong Kong Stock Exchange market, if converted into US dollars, it will basically cost about 2.3 billion US dollars. BOCHK only provides US$600 million, and the gap is still US$1.7 billion!
Li Dongling's expression did not change, but turned to look at Liang Botao, "President Liang, I hope that Cyberport Company will enter Hong Kong City Telecom and get a board seat. The remaining US$7.7 billion can be helped by Peregrine Company." Borrow money from banks in Southeast Asian countries and issue another batch of bonds to raise the acquisition funds."
Before Liang Botao could speak, Li Dongling continued, "Ning's Trading Company, as well as Dongling Hi-tech! Feiyan Technology can provide loan guarantees for Cyberport companies.
In addition, Tanglin Hi-Tech will also provide sales agency rights for PHS mobile phones in Southeast Asia such as Hong Kong City and Siam, as well as in Southeast Asia. Hong Kong City’s PHS base stations and mobile phone services will be transferred to Cyberport Corporation!
Hong Kong City Telecommunications Company can block PHS telephone services from entering Hong Kong City for a while, but it cannot block it forever!”
For Liang Botao and Cao Zongyan did not object to this. When Hong Kong City returns next year, as long as Tanglin Hi-Tech and Cyberport Corporation are willing, they will definitely be able to obtain Hong Kong City's telecommunications license from the Hong Kong City Telecommunications Authority.
But before Liang Botao could speak, he heard Li Dongling say something that stunned him again. Not only him, but also Ning Wenke, Lin Xianhui, and Cao Zongyan were stunned.
“The Cyberport established by Tanglin Hi-Tech is not just for Hong Kong City Telecommunications. You should also have heard that there is an Internet wave emerging in America.
No matter where in the world you are in the future , cannot bypass the Internet, and Hong Kong City is no exception. Inland Zhongguancun now has the flame of the Internet. Zhongguancun has the technology, and Hong Kong City has the funds. Cyberport Company plans to establish a Hong Kong City Internet Investment Center in Hong Kong City to become A bridge connecting Zhongguancun and Hong Kong City!
If the Cyberport plan comes to fruition, the Internet industry in Asia will have Zhongguancun in the north and Cyberport in the south. Cyberport will become a port city company. There are overseas investment institutions that serve as a bridgehead for investing in inland Zhongguancun and other Internet companies.
In addition, if inland Internet companies can develop in the future, they can also use Hong Kong City Cyberport as their first stop to go overseas. Use Cyberport as a springboard to impact the Asian Internet market and enter the global Internet industry! ”
Li Dongling said with a calm face, no matter whether Liang Botao or Cao Zongyan believed it or not, the pie has been drawn anyway, and it is much more scientific than the Cyberport pie drawn by the previous Shiyingke Group. Of course, the pie is also bigger...
