Chapter 257: The Bus King and the Dragon Set
Many investors who are watching the new round of competition between Kowloon Bus and China Bus are just about to watch the show, but before they have entered the state, many newspapers such as "Commercial Daily" and "Xinhua Daily" have already published many explosive news.
"Yan Chengkun, known as the 'father of buses', announced yesterday that he officially resigned as chairman of China Bus, ending the 61-year bus business ......"
"Mr. Xu Ziming and Mr. Yan Chengkun recently reached an agreement to spend 200 million yuan to merge the China Bus business into their own hands, becoming the largest shareholder of China Bus with 60% of the shares, which is an absolute controlling position. β
After completely controlling Kowloon Bus, Hui Ziming successfully won the former bus giant, and the entire Hong Kong bus is basically owned by Hui Ziming's family. β
"With the two largest buses in Hong Kong in his hands, Xu Ziming deserves the title of the king of Hong Kong buses......"
The news popped up one after another, which was a big earthquake for the entire entrepreneur engaged in transportation, because once Xu Ziming's two buses were integrated, the other buses may face being swallowed up one by one.
Chunghwa Bus, the transportation giant that has influenced a generation, has finally changed hands and started to develop one after another.
Many discerning bus company owners are heartbroken, if they can inherit the ownership of Chunghwa Bus, maybe they can become the second Kowloon Bus, and have the strength to compete with Hui Ziming's Kowloon Bus.
......
Outside the gate of the China Bus, Xu Ziming, Pan Disheng and others were just about to participate in the meeting, but they were blocked by reporters early in the morning.
The reporters rushed to ask: "Mr. Xu, after taking the China Bus, is there a way to prepare to take the entire Xiangjiang Bus in the next step?"
Xu Ziming smiled calmly: "It's very good to be able to run one of them well, how dare you covet other bus companies." β
When the reporters heard this, they became even more energetic and continued to ask: "Mr. Hui has rectified the Kowloon Bus very well, why did he still go to win the China Bus?"
Hui Ziming explained: "The development of China Bus has always been sluggish, which is well known. β
"People who do business should know a truth, that is, if you face difficulties, you will accept them. Kowloon Motor Bus and China Bus are the two largest buses in Hong Kong, and there has always been no competition, but the gap is growing. Mr. Ngan Chengkun can trust me and directly sell the shares, which shows that the business philosophy of the bus needs to keep pace with the times, and the success of the Kowloon Bus can contribute to the rise of the Chinese Bus, and becoming the owner of the Chinese Bus is an important part of the development of the Kowloon Bus, and only in this way can the business philosophy of the Kowloon Bus benefit more Hong Kong people. β
Hui Ziming's explanation really made the reporters present feel that it was absolutely amazing, and they have reached the point of benefiting the people of Hong Kong, and the reporter asked: "Will the concept of Kowloon Bus be accepted by other bus companies in the future?"
Xu Ziming smiled mildly: "You should ask other bus owners in Hong Kong for this question." I also hope that the bus company will provide more benefits. β
The reporter continued to ask: "Will Chunghwa Bus start to implement the measures of Kowloon Bus next?"
Pan Desheng suddenly sneered: "You have asked too much. β
At the same time, Chen Jialong, as the second shareholder of China Bus, was also interviewed by reporters.
A reporter asked: "May I ask what do you think of Xu Ziming as the second shareholder after he became the owner of China Bus?"
Chen Jialong originally planned to ask Xu Ziming to balance Yan Chengkun and gradually establish his own team, but Xu Ziming's financial resources couldn't help but make him give up his idea and follow Xu Ziming instead.
He explained, "Of course, Mr. Hui is welcome to take the lead of China Bus and recreate a situation for China Bus to build on the past and forge ahead into the future. β
The reporter asked: "Why do you believe in Xu Ziming so much, don't other bus companies in Hong Kong have this strength?"
Chen Jialong said with a smile: "Why? Your idea is too naΓ―ve, have you ever seen other bus companies in Hong Kong create a good story of 'Golden Kowloon, Copper China, worthless buses'? Do you know how high the stock price of Kowloon Bus is now?"
Hong Kong's bus industry is not profitable at all, and even the stock price is volatile every year, but Kowloon Motor Bus has slapped other managers in the face of Hong Kong's bus industry, and the development is beyond ordinary people.
The reporter asked: "Do you think Xu Ziming has the idea of taking over other bus companies after leading China Bus?"
Chen Jialong coughed and said, "Regarding this, Xu Ziming has his own plans. But if I want to take over the other bus companies, this is what he will have to do sooner or later. β
The next day's newspaper published two completely different stories.
One side said that after Hui Ziming himself expressed his leadership over the Kowloon Motor Bus Company and the China Bus Company, he no longer coveted other buses, and only wanted to vigorously develop the Hong Kong bus industry and improve people's lives.
The other party borrowed Chen Jialong, the shareholder of China Bus, that is, Xu Ziming's idea is very big, and it is inevitable to win other bus companies.
However, whether it is ordinary citizens or industry insiders, most of them tend to choose to believe Xu Ziming's original intention.
For ordinary citizens, they love the preferential welfare measures provided by Kowloon Bus for many days, and they firmly believe that Hui Ziming's original intention remains unchanged.
But for people in the industry, it is a choice to rationally analyze the rhetoric on both sides. An industry either develops in its own right, or it is an endless monopoly.
As soon as the news came out, it shook the Hong Kong bus industry.
When many newspapers were crowded, "Ming Pao" really spent a lot of pen and ink to evaluate it like writing a biography, talking about Xu Ziming's transformation from a fledgling rich boy to the current bus king.
The text is as follows: "During the Wharf business war, Xu Ziming won the lion's head with his unique vision and gained a huge amount in one fell swoop, and since then, he has slowly risen like a dazzling star, attracting a lot of attention from the Hong Kong media." β
When the media speculated about the next approach, what was surprising was that he, who should have been a wealthy family, should have lived the life of most wealthy people who were drunk and gold-obsessed, but he was willing to be a trick in the entertainment industry, and even later got involved in the entertainment industry and worked as an actor, so he formed a lot of friendships with Hong Kong stars. Later, when Li Jiacheng, Bao Yugang and other giants took a wait-and-see attitude towards the construction of the mainland, Xu Ziming firmly believed that the development of the mainland would be better. β
"Whether from the perspective of the entertainment industry or from the perspective of the business circle, he is a veritable successful person. β
"With the combination of Kowloon Motor Bus and Chung Wah Bus Bus, the two largest buses in Hong Kong, he will control basically three-fifths of Hong Kong's bus routes, making him a veritable bus king in Hong Kong. β
"Ming Pao" in this article, at the same time with a capital "bus king" title, as soon as this report came out, Hong Kong's melon-eating masses only knew that the current Hong Kong bus king is already Xu Ziming.
And they were particularly surprised that Xu Ziming had also acted in tricks, and they were curious about what movies Xu Ziming had made when he entered the showbiz.
Xu Ziming was watching a movie on the sofa, and the early autumn sun was shining warmly.
Lin Qingxia was rare to hold the newspaper in her hand and read it with relish.
"Giggle......" Lin Qingxia was amused by the content of the newspaper report, and began to giggle incessantly.
Time passed little by little, Lin Qingxia finally finished reading the newspaper in her hand, and took the newspaper to Xu Ziming excitedly, and said with a smile: "The little-known experience of the bus king. β
Xu Ziming was also amused by the other party, this stalk has been hyped by the media recently, he directly pulled the other party into his arms, lowered his head and kissed her smooth forehead, and asked, "Do you look down on the dragon set?"
Lin Qingxia was amused, covered her mouth and smiled: "This has a bad impact on you, now the newspapers are noisy, you are a serious wealthy person." Lin Qingxia caressed Xu Ziming's thick and sturdy arms lovingly.
Xu Ziming said indifferently: "What a wealthy family, everyone is the same kind of person, there is no need to label yourself." β
Lin Qingxia turned over and rode on Xu Ziming's lap, hooked the back of his neck with both hands, the two looked at each other, she took the initiative to come over, bit Xu Ziming's lip with her mouth, and said coquettishly: "The two of us are the same kind of people." β
