Chapter 222: The Snake Swallows the Elephant
On the side of Huijia International Investment {Shenhai} Company, all the vehicles have been completed, and a Mercedes-Benz has been specially bought for Hu Yang as his special car in the deep sea.
Hanwen is driving this Mercedes Benz now.
When he came to the company's office, Wan Qingshan took out three design plans for Hu Yang.
"Bridge Twin Towers, I don't like it. And this whole look looks like a big pants from a distance, and it's tasteless. ”
Hu Yang's final choice was a modest plan that was the work of a local architectural design institute. As a Grade A office building, this design is not new, but it is very dignified.
"Okay, I understand, I'll announce the results of the bidding right away. ”
Wan Qingshan understood the boss's intentions, and then he could quickly move forward with the project.
"Well, the design is based on the work of a local design company, so the architecture company also uses the local one. However, the qualification must be strictly controlled, and the follow-up construction must also be supervised. ”
Hu Yang no longer interfered in specific matters, and handed them all over to Wan Qingshan and his team.
Hu Yang stayed at the company until 5 p.m. before leaving by car.
"Ah Yang, are you coming over at night?"
On the way, Liang Shuqi called, and she had a little bit of a little woman's taste at this time.
"Well, I'll go over. ”
Hu Yang gave Liang Shuqi an affirmative reply and quickly hung up.
During this time, Populus euphratica was not entirely resting in the deep sea, and his eyes were always staring at the movements of Yingdong Technology in Xiangjiang.
At the beginning of June, Yingdong Technology officially launched a tender offer for Heung Kong Telecom. In this acquisition, Yingdong Technology spent 13 billion US dollars, putting on a posture that is bound to win.
Not to be outdone, Singapore Telecom did not release a specific amount, but everyone knows that this figure is definitely not small.
Originally, this kind of merger and acquisition between enterprises would not be managed by Xiangjiang. Hong Kong, known as a free port, is basically a model of a neoliberal economy, and the Hong Kong Monetary Authority has not intervened even when foreign investors continue to attack Hong Kong's stock and foreign exchange markets.
However, at the moment when Li Kaize issued the takeover offer, various funds, led by foreign hedge funds, suddenly stepped up their attacks on Xiangjiang Finance, and the Hong Kong dollar was violently put under pressure.
This also caused Hong Kong's foreign exchange reserves to begin to decline rapidly.
As a result, the Hong Kong Monetary Authority changed its past style and suddenly issued a warning to all kinds of funds shorting Hong Kong, and hinted that it would not rule out the possibility of the Monetary Authority taking action in person if necessary.
Chance, it's definitely an opportunity.
For Li Kaize, of course, he will not let go of this opportunity to be sent to the door. Soon, the overwhelming public opinion was stirred up, and everyone was talking about whether the local telecommunications giant was controlled by foreign capital, was it safe?
"So, Singapore Telecom is going to be out soon. This means that we have seen the dawn of victory. ”
Going to Xiangjiang again, Li Kaize hosted a separate banquet for poplar in a Western restaurant.
At this time, Li Kaize was proud and proud, although there were too many accidental factors to defeat Singapore Telecom, but it did not prevent him from being eager to share the joy in his heart with others.
The most suitable object for this object is Populus euphratica.
"Mr. Li, congratulations! You called me to come to Xiangjiang as soon as possible, and I was thinking that it was very likely that the acquisition of Xiangjiang Telecom had an eyebrow. ”
Hu Yang must also be very happy that whether or not he can successfully acquire Heung Kong Telecom involves the question of whether his $300 million investment can be quickly realized.
"Hu Zong has given me tremendous support in this matter. Come, touch one, for victory. ”
Li Kaize chose the right ally, and the financial support from the ally did not disappoint him. Then it was harvest season, and the two of them tacitly toasted.
The next day, Singapore Telecom issued an announcement announcing that it would abandon its plan to acquire Heung Kong Telecom.
Without its rival, Yingdong Technology was like a bamboo, and soon pocketed Heung Kong Telecom at a price of 13 billion US dollars.
This acquisition has become a classic case in the history of Xiangjiang's acquisition. Li Kaize himself was on the cover of Fortune magazine because of this case.
Li Kaize did not break his promise, and after the completion of the acquisition, he merged the two companies of Yingdong Technology and Xiangjiang Telecom, and listed Yingdong Technology through the backdoor. The new company was renamed as Heung Kong Yingdong Telecom, and implanted the leading position of network concept stocks.
Hu Yang's Huijia International Investment Company originally held the equity of Yingdong Technology 213. However, after the merger of the two companies, Huijia International's equity in Yingdong Telecom became 824.
Based on the current stock price, the total market capitalization of Yingdong Telecom is $15 billion, which means that the book value of this part of the equity held by Walkers International Investment is $123.6 billion.
Huijia International Investment is not the promoter shareholder of Yingdong Technology, but only participated in the private placement. Its stake in Hong Kong Yingdong Telecom will be free to trade before the end of the year.
"Well, I'm not in a hurry to cash in at the moment. These two years are the time when the concept of the Internet is popular, and the destruction of this wave of Internet myths will probably not be until 2001, so it should be relatively safe before that. ”
Hu Yang remembers that in October this year, there was a famous "Hang Seng Index Defense Battle" in the history of Hong Kong, and the Hong Kong Monetary Authority personally intervened in the foreign exchange market, and conducted an unusually tragic showdown in the stock market, foreign exchange market, and international funds, and finally won the victory.
This victory had a profound impact on the end of the Asian financial crisis, and reinvigorated the Hong Kong economy and stabilized the exchange rate of the Hong Kong dollar against the world's major currencies.
Subsequently, there will be a strong rebound in Hong Kong stocks, especially the performance of online technology stocks, which is stunned.
Perhaps at that time, it is the best time for Hu Yang to withdraw from Yingdong Telecom.
This time I came to Xiangjiang, except to see Li Kaize, Hu Yang had nothing else to do. After resting here for two days, I went to the street to buy some things, and then returned to Yangcheng.
During this time, Liang Shuqi wanted to bring her family to live in the deep sea for a while, and it happened that she was also looking for opportunities in the mainland, so the two were busy with their own work for the time being.
"Hu Zong, the house we bought in Tianhe is about to be handed over. We still owe people 60 million yuan for the purchase of the house, you see?"
When Populus Hu appeared in the office, the first person to come to the door was Xia Bing.
Now the employees are waiting for the new house, but the boss does not speak, and the remaining 60 million yuan of funds cannot be transferred to the real estate company.
"Uh-huh, you pay this money right away and let everyone check in. ”
The deed tax and stamp duty for the purchase of the house are borne by the employees themselves, and the follow-up contracts are jointly responsible for the administration department and the legal department, which is enough for Xia Bing to be busy for a while anyway.
"Okay, Hu Zong, this is the funding application report, please sign it. ”
Xia Bing didn't feel hard, so he quickly smiled and took out the report, and Hu Yang signed his name with a glance.
After sending Xia Bing away, Mu Qingshan knocked on the door again and walked in.
"Hu Zong, let me give you a report on the recent work. ”
"Mr. Mu, please be seated. There's no hurry to report work, I'll look at your written report when I get back. Let me ask you, has Mingkang Communications made any big moves recently?"
Hu Yang once met the boss of Mingkang Communications, Gao Mingkang, in Xiangjiang. At that time, he said that he intended to list on the Stock Exchange and wanted to explore the way first.
Because it was a cocktail party held by Li Kaize, the two did not talk deeply, and Hu Yang planned to learn about this situation.
Mu Shaoqing straightened his waist, and after a moment of silence, he said: "Mingkang Communication has developed rapidly, the company has introduced HS technology from RB, and PHS, which meets domestic standards, has begun to be promoted in major cities.
At present, there are ten cities that have been identified to enter the network, including Xijiang City, which Mr. Lu personally discussed. In terms of production, Mingkang Communication signed an OEM contract with Stubborn Stone Technology to produce 500,000 PHS in the first phase.
However, Mingkang Communications' steps are too big, and there is some tension in terms of funds. ”
Mingkang Communications was similar to a shell company before, if it weren't for Huijia Holdings and Lu Yali injecting 100 million yuan into it, I'm afraid it would be difficult to hold on to today.
"Well, I know about this situation, go back and get in touch with Mr. Gao and Mr. Lu to see what their opinions are. If necessary, I'll come forward. ”
Li Kaize's acquisition of Xiangjiang Telecom in a hurry also reminded Hu Yang that the time has come to focus on PHS and mobile phones.
"Hu Zong, the company's current funds are still sufficient, and we have recently evaluated several more projects, I think they are not bad, you can take a look at them when you have time. ”
Mu Shaoqing didn't know what the boss was busy with recently, anyway, he said that he was in the magic capital for a while, and he was in Xiangjiang for a while, and several projects in his hands had been pressed for a while.
"Okay, you can put the information here first. Mr. Mu, you should pay attention to the affairs of Mingkang Communication, and it is very likely that we will need to increase financial support in the future. ”
Hu Yang didn't say much, the potential of this company is still very large, but someone needs to tap it, and it is better to leave this important task to Mu Shaoqing to complete.
Mu Shaoqing nodded, and briefly reported his recent work before leaving Hu Yang's office.
Hu Yang then flipped through the project report that Mu Shaoqing took, and in his own experience, these projects have merit, but the projects are scattered in various industries, and the amount of investment is not small.
Hu Yang signed the report and asked Mu Shaoqing to conduct a detailed screening and discuss it at a later meeting.
Now, Populus euphratica generally won't easily kill Mu Shaoqing's team's project. However, at present, Populus euphratica has an investment direction, and other projects can only stand on the back for the time being.
Huijia Holdings currently has about 3.2 billion yuan of funds in its account, excluding the 60 million yuan that Xia Bing paid to real estate developers, there are about 2.6 billion yuan left.
If we further increase our investment in Mingkang Communications, there is really no extra money to invest in other projects for the time being.
Since Hu Yang has an explanation, Mu Shaoqing personally took people to the deep sea. After staying there for two days and talking to Gao Mingkang and Lu Yali, he returned to Yangcheng.
