Chapter 168 Orange and the general meeting of shareholders stage a full-scale martial arts show (6k)

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

Galaxy Financial Company has bought these two companies at low prices, and the number of shares it holds is quite large.

However, if you want to achieve the purpose of 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 Office, you need to slowly conquer it.

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

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

…

"Mr. Zhou, our Hong Kong Telephone Company is very aware of how influential the Wujiang Group is in Hong Kong. I believe that only your company's acquisition of the Hong Kong Telephone Company is the best choice!"

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

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

The way Taitung Cable and Telegraph Bureau acquired the Hong Kong Telephone Company was mainly through the merger of the two companies. In fact, Taitung Cable and Telegraph Bureau was able to spend very little cash.

After the merger, since Dadong Cable and Telegraph Company is the acquirer, the status of the former executives of the Hong Kong Telephone Company will be reduced one after another.

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

Therefore, executives of Hong Kong Telephone Company, including Warren Tony, tried their best to promote the acquisition of Hong Kong Telephone Company by Wujiang Group.

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

Money, status, influence, no matter what aspect, selling yourself to Wujiang is the most suitable.

"Mr. Tony, I think so. I hope you can facilitate this matter. After Wujiang Group acquires the Hong Kong Telephone Company, it will not harm your interests, but the same cannot be said for Dadong Cable and Telegraph Bureau." Zhou Anping said straightforwardly.

Warren Tony nodded slightly, especially since his position as general manager was definitely not guaranteed.

"Mr. Zhou, don't worry, I will definitely facilitate this matter." Warren Tony said solemnly, paused, and asked, "Excuse me, how does Wujiang Group plan to acquire the Hong Kong Telephone Company?"

Zhou Anping replied: "The main body of the acquisition of Hong Kong Telephone Company is Wujiang Communication Technology Company, a subsidiary of Wujiang Group, and Galaxy Bank will provide it with a loan of HK$14 billion, which is HK$2 billion higher than the market value of Hong Kong Telephone Company!"

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

When it comes to his own future, Warren Tony naturally attaches great importance to it, "However, it is best to acquire it through capital + shares. This will only make it easier. Many shareholders should also want to get on the fast track of Wujiang!"

After hearing this, Zhou Anping thought about it and felt that it should be fine.

As long as Wujiang Group maintains control of the Hong Kong Telephone Company, it will be fine.

"Let's see, Wujiang Communications Technology Company invested HK$7 billion to acquire 51% of the shares of the Hong Kong Telephone Company, leaving 49% of the shares for the major shareholders and shareholders."

"Okay!" Warren Tony nodded. The conditions were so good that it was impossible for the shareholders who wanted to join the Hong Kong Telephone Company to disagree.

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

After everyone discussed it, many people thought this condition was good.

Taitung Cable and Telegraph Bureau was so aggressive and offered low prices, and also wanted to directly merge with the Hong Kong Telephone Company. This certainly did not satisfy the shareholders and management of the Hong Kong Telephone Company.

"Warren Tony, we are barely satisfied with the conditions of Wujiang Group. However, it would be better if the acquisition price could be higher!" A shareholder named Marvin Keppel laughed.

Said, "If Wujiang Group does not agree, we can introduce Dadong Telegraph Bureau to participate in the competition. As the saying goes, 'the fisherman gets the benefit of the snipe and the clam'!"

Hearing this, the others couldn't help but nodded in agreement.

There is a saying: The human heart is not enough for a snake to swallow an elephant.

Warren Tony frowned slightly and felt that this was not good. "I don't think it is appropriate. We were the ones who invited Wujiang Group, and the other party offered HK$7 billion for only 51% of the shares. This is already very generous. If we

If you try too hard, you'll probably 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, it must give us a little premium. The price offered by the other party is not even a 20% premium."

, I think this is unreasonable, at least a 50% premium will be enough!”

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

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

When Warren Tony saw several major shareholders discussing, he couldn't help but said: "The Cable and Telegraph Company will never pay a premium of 30%, not even 20%. Unless you are willing to accept the Cable and Telegraph Company (Hong Kong) Co., Ltd.

The merger of the company and the acquisition of shares in the new company... However, in this case, how many people here will agree with this choice."

As soon as the words fell, everyone fell silent.

Marvin Keppel curled his lips and muttered in a low voice: "The Wujiang Group is so rich, why should we ask for more money? It's a rare opportunity, shouldn't we take the opportunity to make a fortune~"

Warren Tony sighed: "I will work hard to persuade Wujiang Group to increase the acquisition 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 1920s. It has the exclusive right to provide and operate telephone services in Hong Kong. It has always occupied the position of the boss and has a monopoly.

Landline and international telephone business. Therefore, shareholders expressed the hope that Wujiang Communication Technology Company can increase the acquisition price a little more!"

After hearing this, Zhou Anping thought about it and asked: "How much will it increase?"

"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 HK$12 billion, a premium of 40%, which is an increase of HK$4.8 billion..."

Zhou Anping shook his head and said, "The premium is too high. Wujiang is not absolutely necessary to the Hong Kong Telephone Company. It is impossible for us to agree to this condition!"

Warren Tony said: "35% of the head office!"

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

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

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

"Then I'll take my leave!"

Warren Tony stood up and said goodbye.

…

Europe, UK.

Rex Eden's trip went relatively smoothly. He found the telecommunications service company, negotiated for about a week, and then won the contract.

The acquisition price was cheaper than the price Li Jiacheng later bought it for.

Only HK$7 billion.

Wujiang Group sent elite soldiers and generals to take over the company and renamed it "Orange" telecommunications company.

The first task of Orange Telecom is to lay out GSM mobile phone services. In order to help Orange Telecom develop its GSM business, Wujiang Group invested an additional HK$3 billion in Orange Telecom.

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

At this time, Zhao Ye listened to Leske Eden's report and thought that Nokia had begun to rise at this time, so he ordered: "Let Orange Telecommunications Company find Nokia to cooperate and produce customized machines for Orange Telecommunications Company!!!" Wujiang Group

The mobile phone has not yet been developed, so we had to find Nokia for cooperation.

Customized machines have not yet appeared in this era.

If Orange Telecom takes the lead in launching the "Orange customized machine", it will definitely win a large number of users.

Customized phones are mobile phones specially customized by telecom operators. These mobile phones are embedded with certain extended applications and services of telecom operators, and will restrict the service functions or networks of other operators.

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

In this era, customized machines are definitely a killer.

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

After Zhao Ye finished introducing Rex Aiden in detail what the custom machine is and what it does.

Rex Aiden couldn't help but be amazed.

"The release of the Orange customized machine will definitely cause a big sensation in the British telecommunications market. This will be a rare development opportunity for Orange Telecom!!!" Rex Eden said with emotion.

"That's right! Therefore, Orange Telecommunications Company must build the GSM base station and business hall before releasing the 'customized machine'!"

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

Sean Richardson is the new CEO of Orange Telecommunications Company. He is an executive hired from Vodafone and has strong management skills.

…

But on the Hong Kong side, Zhou Anping's attitude was very firm. Warren Tony tried his best to persuade Zhou Anping to give in again.

At this time, the senior executives of Dadong Cable and Telegraph Bureau did not want to engage in vicious competition with Wujiang Group, thereby benefiting the Hong Kong Telephone Company.

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

"Mr. Zhou, the Hong Kong Telephone Company deliberately provoked a fight between Wujiang and Dadong Cable and Telegraph Bureau to raise the stock price and reap the benefits. In my opinion, it is better for Dadong Telephone Bureau and Wujiang Group to cooperate and jointly acquire Hong Kong Telephone

Company!" Luke Theresa suggested.

Zhou Anping was slightly shocked when he heard this: "Tell me how Wujiang and Dadong Telegraph Bureau will join forces, and how the final equity will be distributed!"
