Chapter 810 - Initiating an Acquisition

Before the "Tian Tian Daily" exposed the telephone surveillance situation the day before yesterday, the stock price of the Heung Kong Telephone Company was very stable, fluctuating around HK$35, and its market value was stable at HK$770 million, with a long-term trend of steady upward trend.

However, because of its larger share capital and lower price per share, Dadong Telegraph Company Heung Kong Co., Ltd. fluctuated around HK$10.4, with a market value of HK$520 million.

But with the exposure of various surveillance incidents in the past two days, and the targets of the surveillance are all political and business tycoons, the sensation caused by this is great!

The two only telecommunications companies have naturally become the targets of the fire, not only to accept the attention and condemnation from public opinion, but more importantly, to withstand the impact of the capital market.

Major investment firms have downgraded both companies and then started selling their holdings in an attempt to escape before the avalanche.

This, in turn, caused the stock price to collapse faster, and made small and medium-sized investors panic and sell off the trend.

Although the management of the Heung Kong Telephone Company and the Dadong Telegraph Company and the Heung Kong Company Limited have tried to distance themselves from each other, they have not been able to stop the decline in stock prices.

Because everyone knows that the surveillance incident is extraordinary, and the targets are all bigwigs, it will not be easily ended.

As a result, in just two days, the stock prices of the two telcos plummeted by more than 30 percent.

The Heung Kong Telephone Company fell to 24 Hong Kong dollars per share, while the Great Eastern Telegraph Company Limited fell below the stock price of 7 yuan per share!

At this moment, another more exciting news was exposed.

Xia Yu, the god of stocks, spoke through Jiuding Securities Company, and found that the phone number of the company and home was also monitored, which caused him huge losses, and this loss must be borne by someone!

As soon as these words came out, everyone in the capital market realized that things were bigger, and immediately projected their attention to the stock market.

Sure enough, the stock prices of the two telecommunications companies fell several times faster, and the financial institutions, which were still thinking of fishing in troubled waters, immediately withdrew their hands and wisely chose to wait and see.

The first brother in the stock market, "Jiuding Securities", wants to exert his power, or to save face and losses for the bigwig Xia Yu, this determination is undoubted, and he can't hit the muzzle of the gun at this time.

The big guys can throw money hard for the sake of face, they don't have the capital to fight, and there is no need to do meaningless fights and cause a commotion in vain.

......

In the midst of the disturbance, in an ancient castle in London, Jacob Rothschild listened to the report of his subordinates, sent them away, and was silent for a long time.

"Jacob, I didn't expect it to be like this, it seems that we are out of luck. ”

Evelyn Rothschild, who was sitting on the side, shook her head and sighed, feeling great regret in her heart.

Jacob Rothschild came back to his senses and said thoughtfully, "No, Evelyn, don't you think it's too much of a coincidence?"

"We had an accident just a few days after we acted, and although the first people to be discovered were the other people who were eavesdropping, it was the "Daily Daily" under Jiuding Newspaper Company that was first exposed. ”

Evelyn Rothschild was stunned for a moment, then fell into deep thought.

After a long time, he slowly bowed his head and said: "You are right, it is indeed too much of a coincidence, could it be that he found something? Our people left after installing the monitor, and did not return to the distance to check, it stands to reason that Xia Yu would not guess that it was us." ”

Jacob Rothschild shook his head and said, "Not necessarily, but it's useless for us to guess here, things are already so bad." ”

"Although there are some regrets, but this matter is just settled, Xia Yu is already alert, Xiangjiang is his base camp, whether it is openly or secretly, we have no advantage. ”

Evelyn Rothschild also agreed with Jacob Rothschild's decision, but thinking of the matter reported by his subordinates about the two telecommunications companies just now, he said: "Jacob, now it is obvious that Jiuding Securities Company is targeting the two telecommunications companies, and it seems that he wants to eat them. ”

"It's more difficult for us to intervene in the Xiangjiang Telephone Company, but we can still influence the Dadong Telegraph Bureau, do we need to intervene?"

Jacob Rothschild thought for a while, shook his head and said: "Forget it, this matter has nothing to do with us, just assume that we don't know, his strength will be enhanced, anyway, the two telecommunications companies in Xiangjiang are limited by market reasons, and their revenue capacity is average, and the enhancement of him is only limited to Xiangjiang." ”

"What's more, Xia Yu is not without connections in the UK, what we have done, there is still a risk of leakage, there is no need. ”

"Well, it looks like we'll have to sit back and watch him get stronger again......" Evelyn Rothschild sighed, then got up and walked outside.

Jacob Rothschild glanced at the papers on the table at hand, retracted his gaze, shook his head, and got up to leave.

Now that things are yellow, there is no need to look like it anymore and devote the limited time to helping the Rothschild family rise again.

......

Xiangjiang Governor's Palace, Governor's Office.

MacLehose sat at his desk expressionlessly, crossed his hands, elbows propped up on the table, and listened to the secretary's report slightly.

“...... Now a large number of reporters have gathered outside the Hong Kong government, and many people are making noise outside the Hong Kong government, calling on the Hong Kong government to come forward to punish the two companies and protect the privacy of the public. ”

MacLehose bowed slightly, thought for a long time, picked up the phone and wanted to dial the number, but his movements stiffened, and then put the microphone down again.

Xia Yu, who was standing at MacLehose's desk, raised his eyebrows, realizing that his boss was still annoyed that he was also being monitored.

Sure enough, then he heard MacLehose's order: "Go and notify the heads of the Press and Publication Department, the Audit Department, and the Attorney General's Chambers to come to my office." ”

The subordinate immediately agreed, and then left quickly.

An hour later, the Hong Kong government summoned all the reporters at the door to enter the press conference hall, and the top Hong Kong government officials headed by MacLehose sat on the press conference platform.

"Quiet, now hold an emergency press conference on issues related to the telecommunications industry in Hong Kong, if there are questions answered in order, if you disrupt the order of the venue, please leave!"

After a cadre at the edge of the press table finished speaking, the originally noisy venue immediately quieted down.

"Okay, this reporter, please ask questions!"

The reporter who sat in the first row and was called was a middle-aged man from Fengyun Daily, who immediately got up and asked sharply: "Dear Governor, the Hong Kong Governor's Office, as a shareholder and regulator of the Heung Kong Telephone Company and Dadong Telegraph Company Limited, has a problem with the two companies, and even monitors the phone calls in your office, I don't know what you think about this?"

Good guy, this kind of problem made MacLehose a little nervous.

But with so many reporters in front of him, MacLehose suppressed the unhappiness in his heart, his face turned pale, and he said righteously: "First of all, on behalf of the Hong Kong government, I apologize to all Hong Kong citizens, because the Hong Kong government's ineffective supervision has caused such a big problem, and the Hong Kong government has the responsibility and obligation to bear the corresponding responsibility." ”

"Privacy is a right that everyone has, and after the press conference, the Hong Kong government will arrange for the Audit Department, the Attorney General's Chambers and the TID to investigate the two telecommunications companies involved. ”

"Next!"

"Mr. Governor......"

......

An urgent press conference lasted more than 30 minutes.

After the press conference, the Hong Kong government's investigation team also officially set off, stationed in the two companies separately, and carried out extremely strict inspections, and the two companies immediately panicked.

The major reporters also spread the content of the press conference, mainly the attitude of the Hong Kong government, and under the special insertion of Global TV, the news immediately spread all over this Xiangjiang.

Such unfavorable factors triggered a further decline in the stock prices of the Heung Kong Telephone Company and the Dadong Telegraph Company Heung Kong Co., Ltd.

Just when the attention of public opinion was attracted to it, Wang Qi was already sitting in the office of Lorence Kadoorie.

Looking at the eighty-one-year-old gray-haired British man in front of him, Wang Qi went straight to the point and said: "Mr. Kadoorie, the purpose of my visit this time must be clear to you, I hope to be able to acquire the equity of the Heung Kong Telephone Company held by your family. ”
