Chapter 381 [Times Communication]
In early February, Peregrine, the finance company of New Era Group, announced that New Era Group would fully acquire the remaining shares of Cathay Pacific City Hotel Management Company at a price of 5 yuan per share (a premium of 27%), involving 940 million yuan.
The privatization of Cathay Pacific City Hotel is progressing smoothly and minority shareholders are happy.
After the privatization of Cathay Pacific City Hotel, it was immediately renamed 'New Era Hotel'.
The organizational structure of New Era Group has become:
New Era Groupβββ New Era Real Estate (Real Estate, Construction), Chinese Real Estate (Real Estate, Securities), New Era Hotel, New Era Infrastructure, Integrated Business (Modern Container, Times Communications, Times Retail, Hong Kong Shipping) - Futura Real Estate (Investment in U.S. Real Estate)
The structure has become clearer and simpler, but in fact there are hundreds of companies in the entire group.
The original debt of Cathay Pacific City was transferred to the New Era Group, and the debt exceeded 14 billion.
In the conference room of ACN Center, Lin Zuhui listened to the report of the management of 'Times Communication'.
At present, the Hong Kong government has announced a tender for mobile phones (first-generation CT1), and interested bidders will submit bids before March 15, and a total of two CT1 mobile phone licenses will be issued this time.
The reason why the two licences were issued is because one of the licences is for 'HKT', and everyone knows it. So, the remaining one license is slightly more competitive.
The market for mobile phones and pagers is also known as 'non-patent telecommunications services', while 'patented telecommunications services' are international and Hong Kong fixed telephones (including faxes, etc.).
It can be said that throughout the nineties, the fixed telephone was the absolute hegemon of the telecommunications industry; There is a saying in Heung Kong that 'non-patent telecommunications business cannot make a large company', which is probably the truth.
At present, two fixed telephone patents are owned by Heung Kong Telecom, of which the local telephone patent expired in 1995.
At present, the mobile phone field (cordless telephone) of the 'non-patented telecommunications business' is monopolized by Hutchison Communications, with more than 50,000 customers, and in the pager market, Hutchison Communications has 230,000 customer customers, accounting for 50% of Hong Kong's share, which is a semi-monopoly nature.
As early as last year (1989), New Era Group decided to enter the field of telecommunications and established Times Communications; Since then, it has acquired three pager companies and obtained a paging license issued by the Hong Kong government, and now has 26,000 customers.
There are dozens of licenses in the pager market, and the achievements of Times Communications are also insignificant!
"After AT&T withdrew from the partnership, we reached a cooperation agreement with British Telecom, British Telecom will provide us with technical services, accounting for 20% of the shares, if we can win the bid, we can launch GSM mobile phones in April, and compete fiercely with Hutchison Telephone!" β
Lin Zuhui asked, "Who is our biggest competitor this time?" β
Lang Shiduo thought for a moment and said: "There should be two companies, one is Xunlian of 'First Pacific Group', and the other is New World Group. β
Lin Zuhui immediately said: "There is nothing to worry about the development of the new world! β
He knows Zheng Yutong and Zheng Kar-chun, they will not be the first to rot the market, and they only got the paging license in January, so their strength is not to worry.
Winning this license means that Times Communications has truly entered the field of telecommunications, and at that time, Lin Zuhui will be able to let Times Communications go to the UK to invest in the telecommunications industry and then develop the European telecommunications industry.
'Huo Jianning sells oranges' is absolutely impossible to happen, Lin Zuhui is already planning to cut off his beard, it can be 'Yuan Tianfan selling oranges' or 'Liang Zhenxun selling oranges'.
Why is Lin Zuhui so confident that Yuan Tianfan will also work for himself, it is nothing more than a bundle of interests; As far as he knows, after CEFC acquired Hengchang Bank, because it was a joint acquisition by multiple consortia, Li Chaoren recommended Yuan Tianfan as the chief executive officer. As a result, Rong Gongzi crossed the river and demolished the bridge to fully acquire Hengchang Hong, that is, to get back the shares of Hengchang Hong from other shareholders at a premium.
Li Chaoren gave up generously in order to do a good job in interpersonal relations, Zheng Yutong, Liang Botao, Guo Huonian and others actually didn't want to give up, after all, Hengchang Bank is a cash cow and a large net profit, and the long-term investment is very cost-effective, but everyone is still 'uncomfortable' to give up shares for the sake of face. Everyone didn't make a fuss, but Yuan Tianfan bombarded CEFC in the major media, and finally alarmed the high-level officials to come out and explain.
As long as Lin Zuhui accepts the 'unemployed' Yuan Tianfan, and then promises heavy profits, he is not afraid that he will not enter the urn! What bullshit 'only serves the Li family', it's just a lack of chips.
Of course, Lin Zuhui and Yuan Tianfan are also familiar with each other!
In fact, in the field of telecommunications, they basically work for the government, and the same is true for Hong Kong. The Hong Kong government threw out the license plate vigorously, saying that it was for everyone to compete, but in fact, it was a large license fee.
The winning bidder paid a large amount of money for the license fee, which was eventually passed on to the consumer.
Lin Zuhui does not value profits, but purely improves his influence in Xiangjiang and extends his tentacles into all aspects of Xiangjiang's industry; At the same time, it has made a lot of money in the European telecommunications industry.
"After all, First Pacific Group is a Nanyang consortium, and I believe we can succeed in the bid!" β
Lin Zuhui said with a smile: "Whether it is successful or not has nothing to do with whether it is a Nanyang consortium or not, the important thing is whether our technical solutions are excellent or not, and whether the price is high!" In short, do it with your heart, this kind of thing can't be relaxed until the last moment! β
"Okay!"
Lin Zuhui received his younger brother Fang Jin in the office, and is now the chairman of the listed company 'Great Wisdom Development', which was the original 'backdoor listing' of China Entertainment.
Lin Zuhui asked him for 50 million, Fang Jinjin made a good omen and gave 58 million, but Lin Zuhui didn't care; If this shell is bought by someone else, there is no problem with 60 million.
58 million means 'I send it', and Lin Zuhui accepted it as a matter of course.
"How are you going to do business?" Lin Zuhui crossed Erlang's legs, leaned on the sofa, and said with a comfortable expression.
He is still relatively relaxed with Fang Jin, the two have been friends for many years, Fang Jin has also helped him do a lot of things before, of course, Lin Zuhui did not treat him badly. Just because Fang Jin is now worth more than 300 million, he has not followed the wrong person.
Fang Jin said seriously: "I plan to raise funds by two rights issues when the time is ripe this year, and buy the construction business and high-quality assets in my hands respectively to expand the scale of the company!" β
Lin Zuhui nodded and said: "It's right to seriously develop listed companies, always use your own money to develop, it's too slow!" You are also an old man in the stock market, as long as you don't rush too aggressively and steadily, the scale will become larger! β
Fang Jin said as if he was listening: "Well, the big guy is right! I know my own ability, Brother Yang Shoucheng is a lesson from the past, he is now giving him a loan from the bank, he doesn't dare to ask for it! β
"Haha, I know I'm afraid of being right!"
Fang Jin's wealth and family background are definitely far inferior to Yang Shoucheng, but after all, he is Lin Zuhui's younger brother, who doesn't give some face, so everyone usually takes him to play.
"Big guy, in the future, I want to let Great Wisdom develop and become an agent of the New Era Group!" Fang Jin said.
The so-called agents are actually big customers who 'buy houses inside', and they are generally 5% cheaper than outside; And the agent itself is actually a large company that speculates on real estate.
In the previous life, the Chinese real estate, that is, Da Liu, was also an agent of Cheung Kong Industrial. Although Da Liu also became a billionaire in his previous life, in fact, Chinese Real Estate was in his hands, and he did not develop several real estate projects, and basically did investment property.
Of course, Da Liu in this life is also an agent under his fellow countryman Li Chaoren.
At present, the development of real estate in Xiangjiang (the development of residential buildings, commercial buildings, and the purpose of sale) has basically been monopolized by several major real estate developers. Most real estate developers can only do some speculation and rent collection.
Lin Zuhui said with a smile: "This is naturally welcome in our company, you can talk to them yourself later!" β
Which large real estate developer, without a group of agents and speculators, has a discount of 5%, but it can be sold out quickly, why not! What's more, the rise of real estate in Xiangjiang is thanks to this group of people.
Xiangjiang people like to speculate on everything, speculating in real estate, stocks, memberships, taxi licenses, and stamps, and social speculation is quite rampant.
Fang Jin's face was happy, the quality of the houses of the New Era Group is good, and it ranks among the top three in the market, so it is a good thing to become an agent of New Era Real Estate.
Then, Fang Jin took the initiative to blow himself up: "Big guy, this time I also bought the bottom of the real estate!" β
Lin Zuhui said as a matter of course: "If you don't copy the bottom, you will be really a fool!" How many properties have you bought? What are they? β
His women Li Zhi, Zhang Min, and Lin Zixia, this time to invest in property, the intermediary is Fang Jin. Fang Jin naturally couldn't charge a fee, and he would make a lot of money just by relying on this signal.
Fang Jin hurriedly said: "Almost 200 million worth of properties, there are office units, shops, and luxury units, and they are messy. β
In Lin Zuhui's eyes, the property of 200 million yuan is just a small amount, and it is only a three- or four-story office building.
"Don't be more than fifty percent in debt, no matter what, it's a sure win, just remember my words!"
"Okay, I must have remembered!"
Lin Zuhui nodded, what should be mentioned has already been mentioned, Fang Jin's nature is much better than Luo Zhaohui, the others are high-achieving students, and they are from a financial class. And Luo Zhaohui is just from a socially blind background, what is there to compare.
Moreover, Lin Zuhui has known him for so many years, and his personality is already familiar.
It can be said that whether there is a 'Chongqing Mansion fire' incident or not, Fang Jin's development is several times better than Luo Zhaohui. Fangjin now has a listed company, that is, it is like a tiger with wings, and real estate will not fall in the past 8 years, so there is no risk.
His little brother can be worse than Liu Luanxiong's little brother, that's really a shame!
Since the last time Zhou Huimin met Lin Zuhui and Li Jiaxin in ATV to show affection, Lin Zuhui did not test Zhou Huimin's feelings for the first time, and a week later, Lin Zuhui asked her to be in the secret base of the two.
He was very curious, Zhou Huimin could tolerate Ni Zheng's good character eight times in her previous life, in front of an excellent person like herself, what was her limit?
Once a month, will it be flown off? In short, Lin Zuhui is very curious!
Lin Zuhui came to the Century Building, opened the door of the secret base, and after walking in, he immediately heard the sound of cooking coming from the kitchen.
This woman is good, save trouble!
Lin Zuhui came to the kitchen and hugged Zhou Huimin from behind.
"I'll bring it out right when dinner is ready!" Zhou Huimin said gently.
Lin Zuhui turned her around and looked at a pitiful beautiful face, coupled with her proud talent, which made the man can't help it. Conquer her! Ravage her!
"I think it's delicious, why don't you eat you first, and then eat?" Lin Zuhui raised Zhou Huimin's jaw with his hand and said playfully.
Zhou Huimin's face was slightly red, and then she actually wanted to reach out to turn off the fire behind her back.
Lin Zuhui said quickly: "Beware of burns. Silly girl! β
"A little more heat!" Zhou Huimin said cautiously, but there was a hint of emotion on her face.
Lin Zuhui turned her around and said, "Okay, you continue!" β
But he didn't let her go, and enjoyed some wonderful fun.
is actually wearing a skirt, so naturally you can't miss her legs;
Then again, Lin Zuhui has seen too much of the world, and his woman is not a beautiful leg.
He actually enjoyed the atmosphere even more!
After a while, Lin Zuhui stopped in time and pretended to help serve the food!
"Don't serve it, beware of burning your hands, I'll just come!" Zhou Huimin resolutely pushed Lin Zuhui out of the kitchen, and then with a beautiful expression, she picked up the dishes, her face was ruddy, but it was not fired.
Lin Zuhui sat down as a matter of course and waited for the woman to serve.
After a busy time, Zhou Huimin picked up the red wine that had been decanted on the table and poured it for Lin Zuhui!
"You're so good at serving people, why don't you go to my house and be a housekeeper!" Lin Zuhui teased.
"I'm not going to serve you women!" Zhou Huimin said angrily, she finally remembered what happened last time.
However, Lin Zuhui had already grasped this woman's character, didn't care at all, and pulled Zhou Huimin into his arms.
"Eat like this!" Lin Zuhui's palm rested on his fair-skinned legs.
Zhou Huimin really forgot selectively, and then took the chopsticks, picked up the vegetables for Lin Zuhui, and put them in his mouth.
"It's good to have this skill, but I advise you to cook less, it hurts your hands!"
"Well, I haven't had a chance to cook for a long time, so I'll cook for you!"
Then, Zhou Huimin brought red wine and fed it to Lin Zuhui's mouth.
Lin Zuhui's hands were not idle, up and down.
"You don't have anything to ask for?" He couldn't help but ask.
"No! I had everything, and when I didn't like singing anymore, I specialized in painting. Zhou Huimin said sincerely.
Lin Zuhui laughed: "Good idea! You don't have to ask for it, but I have a request for you! β
Zhou Huimin hurriedly said, "What requirements?" β
"This house is given to you, and I will ask someone to take you to transfer the house next week! You can do without, but I can't withdraw! Otherwise, I feel a sense of guilt, whether I am using power for personal gain and making up my artists. β
Zhou Huimin's eyes widened and said, "Are you all like this?" β
Lin Zuhui said angrily: "You also underestimate me too much, I don't pick up girls like this, I only do this when I get soaked!" Got it? β
"Well, don't be evil!" Zhou Huimin looked at Lin Zuhui pitifully, her eyes watery.
Suddenly, the flames of war were ignited!
