Chapter 1030 - Press Conference on the Establishment of Hong Kong Bus!

There is no surprise that Leung Pak Tao stepped out, and Lam's Holding Group used 6 billion Hong Kong dollars at a premium of 50% to wholly take over the Kowloon Motor Bus.

Now Lin Cheng, the world's richest man, is willing to be the receiver of KMB, and the offer price is quite satisfactory to them, so the two sides hit it off and reached a deal.

After KMB was successfully won, Lin Cheng already held KMB and Citybus, the two largest bus companies in Hong Kong, of which Citybus specializes in Hong Kong Island, and KMB specializes in Kowloon and the New Territories, which can be said to be the unification of Xiangjiang Bus.

Since the unification of Heung Kong Bus, Lin Cheng did not have anything to be polite about, so he directly merged KMB and Citybus and officially changed its name to Heung Kong Bus Company, referred to as Hong Kong Bus, KMB and Citybus disappeared in the long river of history.

Since 1933, KMB has become the main means of transportation for Hong Kong citizens, serving them for more than 80 years, witnessing the take-off and fallback of Hong Kong.

Now that KMB is about to disappear, many newspapers have published memorial articles, and many celebrities have recalled their first experience of riding KMB, earning a lot of tears from readers.

Some media reporters rushed to the Lam's Millennium Building as soon as possible, intending to interview Lam Cheng and ask whether KMB and Citybus would merge and change their name to Hong Kong Bus.

Seeing that there was a tendency for reporters to gather more and more, Lam took the opportunity to announce that a press conference would be held in the afternoon to announce to the whole Hong Kong that KMB and Citybus had changed hands, as well as the birth of HKB.

……

At 2:30 p.m. on June 3, after receiving the news of the press conference held by the Lam Holding Group, more than 300 reporters came to the press conference hall on the second floor of the Lam Holding Group.

On the rostrum of the hall, seeing the figure of Lin Cheng, the world's richest man, the reporters were in an uproar, and then all the photographers pointed at Lin Cheng and took a special shot.

As a public figure, Lin Cheng has long been accustomed to the spotlight of the media, he wears a pair of black super sunglasses, waves and greets acquaintances from time to time, showing the demeanor of the world's richest man, but also approachable.

As the president of Lin's Holding Group, Liang Botao's influence in Xiangjiang is increasing day by day, and he has long been regarded by the mass media as the most powerful right-hand man around Lin Cheng, and his fame is beyond Huo Jianning and Yuan Tianfan around Li Chaoren, becoming the new emperor of Xiangjiang.

Liang Botao turned his mouth into the microphone on the rostrum and said: "Fellow journalists, good afternoon! Thank you for being able to attend today's press conference held by Lin's Holding Group.

First of all, I would like to announce two pieces of news to you, on 18 May, Lam Holdings Group entered into a deal with Stagecoach Bus Company in the United Kingdom to fully acquire Heung Kong City Bus Company at a consideration of HK$4 billion, becoming the holding company of Citybus.

On 1 June, following the acquisition of Hong Kong City Bus Company, Lam Holdings Group made persistent efforts to acquire the Kowloon Motor Company at a consideration of HK$6 billion from the Lui family and other shareholders of the Kowloon Motor Company, becoming the holding company of KMB.

Secondly, I would like to announce here today that the Kowloon Motor Company and the City Bus Company have officially merged and the two bus companies have been renamed as Hong Kong Bus Company, or HKB.

"...... Uproar"

Although the reporters in the audience had expected it, Leung Pak-to's public announcement still caused an uproar, and they understood that KMB and Citybus, which had accompanied the people of Hong Kong for more than half a century, no longer existed, and then the Heung Kong Bus Company, which owned the super flagship of the Lin Holding Group, was the Hong Kong Bus.

"Fellow journalists, please be quiet, and now I would like to invite Mr. Lin Cheng, chairman of Lin's Holding Group and the richest man in the world, to say a few words to you. Liang Botao threw bricks and stones, and continued.

"Good!" the reporters shouted yes, and then they all fell silent.

Today, Lin Cheng, who has become the richest man in the world this year, has become the glory and pride of all Chinese!

With the origin of a Chinese, defeating all the tycoons and rich people in the world, and finally becoming the richest man in the world, such an achievement makes all Chinese worship and even worship.

Perhaps in such a society based on mainland power, Lin Cheng's title as the richest man in the world is not enough for him to defeat the bigwigs in the political arena and become the most watched existence of Chinese.

But overseas, in the minds of all Chinese, Lin Cheng is the best representative of the Chinese, and Lin Cheng means the highest achievement of the Chinese.

Lin Cheng started his career in the Xiangjiang financial market in '97, and when Soros attacked the Xiangjiang financial market in '98, Lin Cheng led the people of Xiangjiang to turn the tide and become a hero to save the city.

Therefore, although Lin Cheng is not an authentic Xiangjiang person, the Xiangjiang people treat Lin Cheng very cordially and treat Lin Cheng as their own family.

Looking at the adoring gaze of the audience, Lin Cheng enjoyed it a lot, but also made him more aware of the responsibility on his shoulders.

Lin Cheng doesn't want Xiangjiang to become a dead port and a stinky port despised and scolded by the Chinese people in 20 years, so let's start today and completely change the fate of Xiangjiang!

Facing the burning eyes of the reporters in the audience, Lin Cheng said calmly: "Fellow journalists, good afternoon, first of all, welcome and thank you for braving the scorching heat to come to Lin's Millennium Building to participate in the press conference held by Lin's Holding Group.

I am pleased to announce that starting today, Heung Kong Bus Company, which has merged KMB and Citybus, has been officially established!

The newly established Heung Kong Bus Company will inherit the fine traditions of KMB and Citybus, love Hong Kong, serve Hong Kong people, and strive to make Hong Kong bus buses run on every inch of highways in Hong Kong, so as to provide a safe, convenient and efficient travel environment for all Hong Kong citizens!"

"Well spoken!"

"Long live Lin Sheng!"

"Support Lin Sheng!"

Lin Cheng's popularity is not covered in Xiangjiang, and just saying a few words casually made the reporters in the audience applaud.

The next free question time, so the reporters raised their arms and asked questions enthusiastically.

"Hello Lin Sheng, I am a reporter from Sing Tao Daily, what I want to ask is, what is the reason why you are interested in acquiring and integrating the bus company in Xiangjiang and establishing the Xiangjiang Bus Company?" asked the middle-aged reporter, who was lucky to get the opportunity to ask questions.

"It's a sense of responsibility!" Lin Cheng said with a smile: "As the saying goes, the greater the ability, the greater the responsibility." As you all know, I have a pair of God-given eyes that can go straight to the core through the appearance of things, and I can see things that you don't normally see.

Although Hong Kong entered a period of economic recovery immediately after the Asian financial crisis, the apparent prosperity of Hong Kong is hidden by many crises.

I saw the crisis, and I couldn't remain indifferent, so I acquired KMB and Citybus and established Heung Kong Bus Company to participate in the economic construction of Heung Kong with a more positive attitude, hoping to make a contribution to solving the future crisis of Heung Kong!"
