NB Electric is a Hong Kong company registered and operating in Hong Kong, and it is not difficult to list on the Stock Exchange as long as it meets the listing qualifications. There is no need to go through a series of reviews and approvals from the relevant domestic departments as in the case of domestic companies listing in Hong Kong in later generations.

The listing process requires wholeheartedness, not a try-and-try mentality.

Therefore, since the day when the articles of association and Liu Siwei determined the listing of NB Electrician, all preparations have been made for the listing.

The asset restructuring and share registration were completed at the end of last year, and with the assistance of professional accountants, lawyers and compliance advisers, such as related party transactions, directors' commitments, and commitments of the company and its parent company, all of which comply with the Listing Rules of the Stock Exchange and the relevant legal requirements.

After preparing the legal documents in the prospectus and paying a large amount of intermediary fees such as document fees, underwriting fees, professional fees, printing fees, public relations consultant fees and miscellaneous fees, Liu Siwei, who hurried back from Vietnam, officially submitted an application for the listing of NB Electrician to the Stock Exchange on the third day after the Berlin Wall was torn down.

It's okay financially, and it's even more okay to make a profit.

As for whether there are relevant news reports, public relations capabilities and the importance of the media to the company, the parent company NB Electric does not need to deliberately promote the momentum. NB Electric's ongoing rights protection lawsuits with Spain's Tempo Electric, Japan's Matsunobu Electric, and a number of small companies with unknown names in 12 countries, including Spain, France, the United States, and Australia, are enough to attract great attention from Hong Kong's legal circles and the media.

At the same time, the discovery of the "giant magnetoresistance effect" has also labeled the parent company NB Electric as "high-tech".

Switch and socket panel products account for a high share of 35% in the international market, leakage protectors and home air switches will also become a new profit growth point for NB electricians, in addition to the research and development of intelligent buildings, integrated wiring and energy-saving lighting and other forward-looking business, even the production plant is betting on both sides, mainland investment, Vietnam also has investment, no one can deny that this is a company with great development potential!

HSBC fully supports it, Gu Daheng is very optimistic, and even South Korea's four-star group has stood up to build momentum and publicly announced that it will carry out more in-depth cooperation with NB electricians in the field of smart buildings.

NB Electrician's design and utility patents are undoubtedly an invaluable asset.

The possibility of Ximeng Electric and Songxin Electric winning the infringement lawsuit is very small, and the company's listing is still in the application stage, and Hong Kong local and foreign investment institutions in Hong Kong have realized that once NB Electric is listed, there will inevitably be a fierce acquisition and counter-takeover. After all, there is nothing they can do to stop NB Electrician and its ally South Korea's Four Star Group in the switch panel market.

There is no suspense about whether it can be successfully listed, and the extent to which the stock price will skyrocket after the gong hammer falls is a topic that Hong Kong's financial investment circles are talking about.

For a time, Liu Siwei, chairman of NB Electric, and Chen Hao, CEO of NB Electrician, were in the limelight, so much so that even the headquarters staff who held the original shares became a sweet spot in the eyes of speculators.

However, just when they were ready to make a lot of money and make a lot of money, NB Electrician actually held a press conference, announcing that it would settle out of court with Spain's Ximeng Electric and Japan's Songxin Electric, and signed the second OEM order with the German Dongmen company that has been negotiating after South Korea's four-star group.

"Mr. Liu, do you know what this means?"

NB Electric is the largest funder of NB Laboratory, and several professors from the School of Science and the University of Science of Chinese University of Science felt incredible, and rarely ran to the second floor to care about the development of NB Electric.

Liu Siwei didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly got up to greet him, beckoning everyone to sit down, and said lightly: "Of course I know that I may lose a lot of money by doing this, but in my opinion, this is responsible for the company and the shareholders." ”

Professor Zhou listened to this kind of high-sounding words a lot, and said angrily: "What shareholders need is income, Mr. Liu, do you think I know how to do research and have never bought stocks?" ”

Professor Wang didn't bother to talk to him about this, and said angrily: "The laboratory still lacks a lot of equipment, and we have the right to ask for an increase in the budget." And you give up such a good financing opportunity, as the initiator of the lab, this is a very irresponsible performance. ”

It is okay to ask for money, but it is not such an important method, Professor Chen of the School of Science of Chinese University was embarrassed, and quickly explained: "Mr. Liu, although the UGC is trying its best, the Hong Kong government will obviously not increase the budget in a short time, and we have tried our best to raise social donations, but with little effect, at least this year we need to provide another 5 million yuan from NB Electric, otherwise it will be difficult to persist in the existing project." ”

In contrast, Liu Siwei is more willing to invest in the system engineering and technology application laboratory, which is the real help for the company's development.

As soon as you open your mouth, it is 5 million Hong Kong dollars, so it is better to move the laboratory to the university.

Liu Siwei's head was big, and after thinking about it, he simply said frankly: "Ladies and gentlemen, basic research has always been an area of national and government investment, and as an enterprise, it is not easy for us to achieve this step. As for the company's abandonment of abnormal financing, it is completely responsible, because once the stock exceeds its due value by 10 or even 20 times, the ultimate victim is the shareholder, and this involves the company's German strategy. ”

"German strategy?"

Liu Siwei pulled out a stack of documents from a drawer and said excitedly: "As you may have heard, East Germany mainly relied on collecting tolls for trains to West Berlin and importing waste from Western countries, mainly West Germany, to earn foreign exchange earnings. For West German companies, the cost of transporting waste to East Germany for disposal is only one-tenth of the cost of sending it to a West German landfill. Despite the relatively high cost of transport, West German companies and local governments have traditionally chosen to transport waste to East Germany.

It is worth mentioning that a large part of the revenues from the disposal of waste, which are usually managed by the East German Regional Business Coordination Committee and the Ministry of State Security, are transferred to the so-called 'Honecker' and 'Milk' accounts, and are used by the SAS elite living in Wandlitz and are not disposed of according to West German standards.

So much so that in the eyes of West Germans, East Germany was a garbage dump, and in fact it was indeed a garbage dump! Ironically, with the Berlin Wall being torn down, it is likely that the Federal Republic of Germany will once again take over the garbage that was previously spent on it. Therefore, colleagues from the Frankfurt branch are negotiating with the West German government, the East German government, East German political organizations, the West German Electric Power Association, the Nature and Environmental Protection Association, and the Chamber of Industry and Commerce to invest in the construction of a waste incineration power plant in Germany. ”

The Berlin Wall was torn down, and everyone knew that it was only a matter of time before Germany was reunified.

Professor Zhou reacted suddenly and blurted out: "Mr. Liu, your company is ready to take the opportunity of the reunification of the two Germanys to set foot in the German power field?" ”

"Yes," Liu Siwei nodded, smiling and confirming: "West Germany is willing to pay any price for the reunification of the two Germanys, and the West German company is not so interested in East Germany." Moreover, there is so much waste accumulated over the decades that a professional waste incineration company like Martin can only absorb one percent of it. ”

The waste incineration power plant is also a power plant, and Professor Chen's eyes lit up and he asked ecstatically: "Mr. Liu, does this mean that once an agreement is reached, NB Electric can share West Germany's scientific and technological achievements in the field of electricity and environmental protection?" ”

"In addition to that, you can also enjoy government subsidies."

"Where's the power equipment?"

"Once the agreement is reached, as long as it involves the field of waste incineration, it can be used for a fee."

Seeing the excitement of everyone, Liu Siwei continued: "Judging from the current situation, West Germany is determined to 'buy' East Germany, and even Chancellor Kohl personally went to East Germany to help the election of parties such as 'Democratic Rise' and 'Christian Union'. The 'buy-out' of East Germany required a large sum of money, and West Germany was not as successful as the United States in terms of financing, so every investment was particularly important to them. ”

NB Electric apparently will not build a waste-to-energy plant for investment, and settled out of court with several EC companies at the last minute when NB Electric went public. The drunkard does not mean to drink, and the real purpose is to use the investment in the construction of a waste-to-energy power plant to get involved in the German energy field and develop its own power equipment industry.

Thinking that he could participate in the construction of a power plant from beginning to end, Professor Zhou couldn't help but sigh: "This is indeed a good opportunity, if it can be negotiated, it will not only be beneficial to NB Electrical, but also to several of our universities, especially power engineering and environmental engineering." ”

Professor Chen, who studied in Germany, knows better than anyone how difficult it is to invest in Germany, and can't help but remind: "Mr. Liu, although you reacted very quickly and chose the intervention point very well, I still want to remind you that the Germans are not so easy to deal with, unless you have enough chips to impress them." ”

Liu Siwei smiled and said meaningfully: "The Germans are indeed not so easy to deal with, so we have prepared 130 million East Marks. ”

The Berlin Wall was a major event in the "free world", and everyone here discussed how the West German government would respond to this contingency, and finally came to the conclusion that money came first. In fact, the West German government also claimed to exchange the East Mark in the hands of the East Germans on a one-to-one basis, and even prepared to establish a monetary union after the first democratically elected government of East Germany was formed.

NB Electric's 130 million is a speculative holding, and it is basically impossible to exchange it one-to-one, but in addition to the East German government and the East German people, the most important thing to hold is the Soviet Union and other Warsaw Pact countries, and more than 300,000 Soviet Red Army troops are stationed in East Germany.

East Marks must be converted, but for the current West German government, there is a big difference between converting them into West Marks and converting them into US dollars, and there is a big difference between returning to East Germany to engage in construction and staying overseas after exchange.

Professor Chen suddenly realized that he immediately laughed and said, "This chip is very valuable, I think they have to seriously consider it." ”

Professor Zhou also reacted, and after thinking about it, he asked suspiciously: "Mr. Liu, how come you NB Electric have so many East Marks?" ”

"Most of them are from the mainland, and a small part are from Vietnam."

Liu Siwei paused and explained proudly: "Taking advantage of such a big advantage, the mainland does not care about asking about these trivial matters for the time being, but the Vietnamese side has quite a few complaints, but they have a labor agreement with the East German government, and more than 10,000 Vietnamese are still stranded in East Germany." We promise to continue the employment agreement as much as possible once we reach an agreement with the West German side, after all, infrastructure projects and waste sorting will require manpower. ”
