Chapter 1: The Sea of Stars (1)
Boom~~~
A few meters away, the sound of water coming up from the toilet tank is extra clear in the silence of the night. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Twisting the faucet on the basin in front of her, Li Liwei took some cold water with her palm and gently patted it on her forehead.
A chill seeped into the high-speed brain from the forehead, and the emotions that had been too high due to active thoughts began to slowly recede.
Looking at the white-clothed beauty reflected in the wide makeup mirror in front of her, her eyes were rolling and her cheeks were crimson, Li Liwei smiled a little self-deprecatingly, and whispered softly: "It's obviously a business negotiation, how can you make the old lady look like she has just stolen a man." ”
Puff~~~
A chuckle came from the corner behind Li Liwei, and another beauty in a milky white Western-style skirt turned into the bathroom from the hallway.
"Avril, I didn't mean to eavesdrop, you complained a little louder than the environment. ”
Gong Yun smiled as she approached the other pool of the washbasin.
"Tina, look at yourself in the mirror, how much better can you be than me?"
Because Gong Yun is about to go to the United States to assist Zhang Jianxin of Shangri-La North America in setting up a large-scale R&D institution, Gong Yun, like Li Sheng'an, who went to Europe, requires colleagues to call themselves by their foreign names in order to adapt to the language environment in advance.
Since Liang Yuan officially started the internationalization process of Yuanjia, the trend of Europeanized foreign names within the group has become popular.
For example, in the Hong Kong-based power collection, the number of people who call Su Liangyu's early name in the United States - Tom is increasing day by day.
Of course, for someone, Tom Sue's strange title and Ning Wanjia's sentence ××Sister, you are prettier than me" are recent hilarious explosive points, and every time I hear someone, I will secretly rub myself to entertain myself for a long time.
"Tomorrow, let Xiaowei lower the temperature of the central air conditioner by ten degrees and freeze those bastards who come to Huanglai. ”
Gong Yun grumbled while learning from Li Liwei's example, twisted the faucet, picked up a little water and gently patted it on her forehead.
Since the Lunar New Year, secret negotiations between Hutchison Whampoa and Jardine Matheson over the acquisition of Hong Kong Electric have been going on for more than two months.
When the two sides first came into contact, it was enough to describe it as love at first sight and concubine, Yuanjia was bound to win Hong Kong Electric, and Hutchison Whampoa also coveted Hong Kong Land under Jardine Matheson, but unfortunately, like most lightning emotions, as the contact deepened, the differences between the two sides became bigger and bigger.
Negotiations have now reached a dead end
For Yuanjia, holding Hongkong Electric is a necessary prerequisite for expanding the group's industrial chain, and Hongkong Electric is the cornerstone of Brilliance Power's formal extension of its tentacles into the turbine industry, shouldering the key link of Brilliance Power's laboratory research and development to industrial production.
In other words, HKE will pay real money for the transition process of Brilliance Power's products from immature and not advanced to mature and advanced.
Similarly, until the delivery of the CM100 regional airliner, Hongkong Land was the source of cash to sustain COMAC's day-to-day operations.
After more than a year of unremitting buybacks, Yuanjia has more than 60% of Hongkong Land's shares, and on the board of directors, Newbijian has acted arbitrarily, under the banner of enhancing the group's competitiveness in the next century and transforming to high-tech, and invested all the annual profits of Hongkong Land in the Federal Republic of Germany.
Of course, the relevant investment will eventually be converted into Hongkong Land's shareholding in COMAC, but even so, at present, Hongkong Land's board of directors, a large number of minority shareholder representatives, and Nubi are not in a state of torn apart.
This will need to be done for at least five years, until sales of the CM100 regional airliner exceed the break-even point.
For the future, Hongkong Electric needs to pay, and for the future, Hongkong Land also needs to pay, and the main difference in the negotiations between Hutchison Whampoa and Jardine Matheson is this.
In Mr. Lee's plan, it is an acceptable option to exchange all HK Electric shares plus cash for a controlling stake in Hongkong Land, and it is also an acceptable option for some HK Electric shares to exchange some of Hongkong Land shares, and Hutchison Whampoa will send someone to the board of directors of Hongkong Land and amend the proposal to transform to high-tech proposed by Nurbikin.
Similarly, Hutchison Whampoa was receptive to Jardine Matheson's investment in HK Electric, but had no interest in Jardine Matheson's proposed change in HK Electric's strategic direction.
Mr. Li's idea of operating Hongkong Electric is to be a qualified electricity network operator, and the idea of operating Hongkong Land is to be a leader and benchmark enterprise in Hong Kong's real estate industry.
In Liang Yuan's eyes, Hongkong Land is just a relatively important cash cow at this stage, and Hongkong Electric will penetrate each other with Brilliance Power and Shangri-La Electric, and in the future, Hongkong Electric will become a giant enterprise integrating power, electrical equipment R&D, production and power grid operation across the entire energy and electrical industry.
Although Liang Yuan and Li have a common understanding on energy exploitation, their thinking is basically opposite in other aspects, and Hutchison has a negative attitude towards the CM100 regional airliner project and the E-class advanced gas turbine generator set project, which are closely linked to Hongkong Land and HK Electric, believing that compared with the investment in the mature Hong Kong real estate industry, the benefits of entering the European aerospace industry and the Asia-Pacific power equipment industry led by Jardine Matheson are not proportional to the risks.
Since the two sides have not been able to agree on the pursuit of the future, it will definitely become a necessary choice for Yuanjia to control all the unstable factors in his own hands.
At present, he and Huang Tongyi and the two sides are still maintaining negotiations, but they are just hoping that the other party will suddenly make major concessions under desire and pressure.
"Tina, you're about to get out of the sea of suffering, Mr. Zhang is waiting in a hurry in the United States. ”
Li Liwei went around in a circle and asked Gong Yun for gossip.
Gong Yun can also be regarded as a descendant brought out by Qi Lianshan, and the news at the level of the Yuanjia Conference is much better than Li Liwei.
"After talking about tens of millions of brain cells for more than two months, there was no result, so I went to the United States in such a gloomy way and was not laughed at by Mr. Zhang. ”
Originally, after the Yuanjia Conference a year ago, Gong Yun should go to the United States to serve as Zhang Jianxin's deputy to prepare for the expansion of Shangri-La (North America) Company's business scope.
In order to avoid leaving an aggressive impression on the Hong Kong business community, Liang Yuan vetoed the negotiation combination of Qi Lianshan + Niu Bijian on the acquisition of Hong Kong Electric, and temporarily transferred Gong Yun to replace Qi Lianshan into the negotiation team.
It's a pity that Mei is blind.
"Hutchison doesn't trust us, we don't look down on Hutchison these days, these days Niu Dong and Hutchison Whampoa's Ma Shimin have become enemies from old friends, yesterday Ma Taipan's work mistakes thirty years ago were turned out by Niu Dong, this dead knot is getting stronger and stronger, Tina, I feel a good future bleak~~~"
Li Liwei complained half-truthfully.
Since the 70s, Niu Bijian and Ma Shimin, who are both Jardine and Jardine, have been known as Jardine and Ma, and the grievances and hatreds between the two are simply three days and three nights.
At present, Ma Shimin is doing a good job in Hutchison Whampoa, and Niu Bijian is even more shocked to stage a realistic version of the return of the king.
"Don't worry, purely in terms of time, we can't negotiate the Uruguay round with Hutchison Whampoa no matter what. Gong Yun said with a smile.
Since 86, the GATT decided to start the largest multilateral trading system negotiations since its establishment in Punta del Este, Uruguay, and the aviation, electronics, telecommunications, finance, trade and other industries involved in Yuanjia are the focus of attention.
At last year's Yuanjia Conference, Liang Yuan specially organized personnel to conduct in-depth discussions on the relevant topics of the Uruguay round of negotiations, and someone also said with a smile at the meeting that if the scheduled work plan cannot be completed in the new year, all Uruguay will be sent to engage in negotiations, and there will be no ten or twenty years to think about the end.
Therefore, the content and information involved in the Uruguay round negotiations have also become a reserve of knowledge that those who are interested in promoting the senior management of Yuanjia must know.
"Tina, do you have any good news to reveal, to lift my outlook on life, which is often in decline. ”
"Avril, yesterday, when I reported the negotiation work with Mr. Qi, Mr. Qi answered the phone call from Mr. Qi, Mr. Qi mentioned the reality we were facing on the phone, and I didn't hear Mr. Qi, but at the end of the call, Mr. Qi came out with a shocked look on his face, and the tone was too high~~~. ”
Li Liwei looked at Gong Yun with a confused face, Damn, can you still talk well, I just want a gossip, you will give me a sea of stars.
Gong Yun also looked at Li Liwei with a bewildered face, and said in her heart that it would be better to die together, the old lady had thought of all the ways except to sell herself, and she didn't come out of Qilian Mountain that the interstellar voyage was a magic thing.
