Hong Kong Telephone Company and Great Eastern Telegraph Company (Hong Kong) Limited, Hong Kong-listed companies, saw their share prices plummet during Black Monday.

Galaxy Financial Company has bought these two companies at a low price, and the number of shares held is not small.

However, if you want to achieve the purpose of the acquisition, you need to talk directly with the major shareholders, otherwise there is little hope.

After investigating the details, Zhou Anping took the lead in sending someone to contact the Hong Kong telephone company to discuss the acquisition.

As for the Daito Telegraph Office, it needs to be tackled slowly.

This company is a long-established telecommunications company with a history of more than 100 years, and during World War I, it became the imperial communications center of Britain; During World War II, he was responsible for battlefield communications and sabotage of enemy communications.

However, today's telecommunications industry has not yet flourished, so Dadong Telegraph Company does not have the money of Wujiang Group.

……

"Mr. Zhou, we at Hong Kong Telephone Company know very well how much influence Wujiang Group has in Hong Kong, and I believe that only your company has acquired Hong Kong Telephone Company is the best choice!"

At this time, Warren Toney, the general manager of the Hong Kong Telephone Company, said to Zhou Anping with a smile on his face.

When Zhou Anping heard this, he smiled faintly, although the other party said so, it was mainly because Wujiang Group was rich.

The way in which the Great Eastern Telegraph Company acquired the Hong Kong Telephone Company was mainly through the merger of the two companies, in fact, the Great Eastern Telegraph Company was able to come up with very little cash.

After the merger, because Dadong Telegraph Company is the acquirer, the status of the executives of the former Hong Kong Telephone Company will decline one after another.

After all, the position of general manager cannot be held by two people.

As a result, Warren Tony and other executives of the Hong Kong Telephone Company tried their best to facilitate the acquisition of the Hong Kong Telephone Company by the Wujiang Group.

It is impossible for the Borderless Group to kick out these executives.

Money, status, influence, no matter what it is, selling yourself to Boundless is the most appropriate.

"Mr. Tony, I think it's the same, I hope you can facilitate this matter, after the acquisition of the Hong Kong Telephone Company by the Wujiang Group, it will not harm your interests, but the Great Eastern Telegraph Office may not." Zhou Anping said very bluntly.

Warren Tony nodded slightly, especially his position as general manager, which is definitely not guaranteed.

"Mr. Zhou, don't worry, I will definitely facilitate this matter." Warren Tony said solemnly, paused, and asked, "Excuse me, in what way does the Wujiang Group plan to acquire the Hong Kong Telephone Company?" ”

Zhou Anping replied: "The main body of the acquisition of Hong Kong Telephone Company is Wujiang Communication Technology Company, a subsidiary of Wujiang Group, and Galaxy Bank will provide it with a loan of 14 billion Hong Kong dollars, which is 2 billion Hong Kong dollars higher than the market value of Hong Kong Telephone Company!" ”

"If that's the case, then my success rate in convincing the company's shareholders to accept this condition is quite large!"

When it comes to his own future, Warren Tony naturally attaches great importance to it, "However, it is best to acquire it by way of capital + shares, which will only be easier, and many shareholders should still want to take the fast lane of Wujiang!" ”

When Zhou Anping heard this, he thought about it and felt that it should be no problem.

As long as the Borderless Group retains control of the Hong Kong Telephone Company, it will be fine.

"In this way, Wujiang Communication Technology Co., Ltd. invested 7 billion Hong Kong dollars to acquire 51% of the shares of Hong Kong Telephone Company, leaving 49% of the shares for major shareholders and shareholders."

"Good!" Warren Tony nodded, the conditions are so good, it is impossible for the shareholders of the Hong Kong telephone company to disagree.

Warren Tony returned to the company and told the company's executives and shareholders what he had heard from Mr. Zhou.

After some discussion, many people felt that this condition was good.

The Great Eastern Telegraph Office searched and searched, offered a low price, and wanted to directly merge the Hong Kong Telephone Company, which made the shareholders and management of the Hong Kong Telephone Company of course not very satisfied.

"Warren Tony, the conditions of the Borderless Group, we are barely satisfied. However, if the purchase price can be a little higher, of course it will be better! A shareholder named Marvin Keppel said with a smile, "If Wujiang Group does not agree, we can bring in Dadong Telegraph to participate in the competition." As the saying goes, 'snipe and clam compete for fisherman's profit'! ”

When the others heard this, they couldn't help but nod their heads in agreement.

There is a saying: people's hearts are not enough to swallow elephants.

Warren Tony frowned slightly, feeling that this was not good, "I don't think it's appropriate, Wujiang Group was originally invited by us, and the other party's bid of 7 billion Hong Kong dollars only needs to take 51% of the shares, which is already very generous." If we have to make an inch, I'm afraid we'll mess things up! ”

Marvin Keppel said with a smile: "Warren Tony, you can't say that, since Wujiang Group wants to buy Hong Kong Telephone Company, then you have to give us a little premium, the price given by the other party is not even a premium of 20%, I think this is unreasonable, at least a premium of 50%!" ”

Others followed suit: "50% may be a bit much, 30% to 40% is reasonable......"

"Yes, at least a premium of more than 30% before we can agree to the acquisition of Borderless!"

Warren Tony saw several major shareholders discussing, and couldn't help but say: "Daito Telegraph will never pay a premium of 30%, not even 20%. Unless you are willing to accept the merger of Daito Telegraph (Hong Kong) Limited and acquire the shares of the new company...... However, in this way, how many people here will agree with this choice. ”

As soon as the words fell, everyone fell silent.

Marvin Keppel pursed his lips and muttered in a low voice: "Wujiang Group is so rich, what's wrong with us asking for more money, it's a rare opportunity, shouldn't we take the opportunity to make a fortune~"

Warren Tony sighed: "I will try to convince the Borderless Group to raise the purchase price......"

The next day, Warren Tony made an appointment to meet Zhou Anping.

For the sake of the interests of the original shareholders, he had to ask Zhou Anping tentatively: "Mr. Zhou, the Hong Kong Telephone Company was established in the 20s, has the franchise to provide and operate telephone services in Hong Kong, has always occupied the position of the boss, and monopolized the fixed-line and international telephone business. Therefore, the shareholders expressed the hope that Wujiang Communication Technology Company can increase the purchase price a little more! ”

Hearing this, Zhou Anping thought about it for a while and asked, "How much?" ”

"According to the current market value of the Hong Kong telephone company, the premium is 40%." Warren Tony said.

Zhou Anping frowned and said: "The current market value of Hong Kong Telephone Company is 12 billion Hong Kong dollars, a premium of 40%, that is, an increase of 4.8 billion Hong Kong dollars......"

Zhou Anping shook his head and said, "The premium is too high, Wujiang doesn't have to be with the Hong Kong Telephone Company, and it is impossible for us to agree to this condition!" ”

Warren Tony said: "35% is always fine! ”

Zhou Anping said in a firm tone: "Wujiang can give a 25% premium, no more!" ”

Warren Tony said: "Then I'll go back and discuss it with the shareholders!" ”

"Okay, then you can go back and discuss it." Zhou Anping said calmly, he was not in a hurry.

"Then I'll take my leave!"

Warren Tony stood up and said goodbye.

……

Europe, United Kingdom.

Rex Aiden's trip went relatively well, he found the telecommunications service company, talked for about a week, and then took the telecommunications service company.

The purchase price was cheaper than the price at which Li Jiacheng later bought it.

Only 7 billion Hong Kong dollars.

The Borderless Group sent elite soldiers to take over the company and renamed it "Orange" telecommunications company.

Orange Telecom's first task was to deploy GSM mobile phone services, and in order to help Orange Telecom develop its GSM business, Borderless Group added 3 billion Hong Kong dollars to Orange Telecom.

Most of this money is used to build GSM base stations and open business halls.

At this time, Zhao Ye listened to Reske Aiden's report, and thought that Nokia had begun to rise at this time, so he ordered: "Let Orange Telecom Company cooperate with Nokia to produce customized machines for Orange Telecom Company!! "The mobile phone of Wujiang Group has not yet been developed, so I have to go to Nokia to cooperate.

Custom-made machines have not yet appeared in this era.

If Orange Telecom is the first to launch the "Orange Custom Machine", it will definitely win a large number of users.

A customized mobile phone is a mobile phone specially customized by a telecom operator, which is implanted with some extended applications and services of the telecom operator, and will restrict the service functions or networks of other operators.

Because telecom operators pay part of the cost, the sales price of customized phones is much lower than that of ordinary versions of mobile phones, which can attract a large number of consumers to buy.

In this day and age, custom machines are definitely a killer feature.

With this wave, Orange Telecom will soon be able to rise in the UK and even the European market.

After Zhao Ye gave Rex Aiden a detailed introduction to what the custom machine was and what it does.

Rex Aiden couldn't help but be amazed.

"As soon as the Orange custom-made machine comes out, it will definitely cause a great sensation in the British telecom market, which will be a very rare development opportunity for Orange Telecom!! Rex Aiden sighed.

"That's right! Therefore, Orange Telecom must build a GSM base station and business hall before the release of the 'customized machine'! ”

"Well, I'll communicate with Sean Richardson about this matter, and ask him to follow through on your plan!" Rex Aiden nodded.

Sean Richardson is the new CEO of Orange Telecom, an executive poached from Vodafone and has a strong management level.

……

said that on the Hong Kong side, Zhou Anping's attitude was very firm, and Warren Tony took three inches of indefatigable tongue, and it was still difficult for Zhou Anping to give in again.

At this time, the top management of the Great Eastern Telegraph Office did not want to engage in vicious competition with the Wujiang Group, so as to make the Hong Kong Telephone Company profitable.

On this day, Luke Teresa, general manager of Dadong Telegraph (Hong Kong) Co., Ltd., came to Zhou Anping at the request of the parent company and expressed his intention to cooperate.

"Mr. Zhou, the Hong Kong Telephone Company deliberately provoked a competition between Wujiang and Dadong Telegraph Bureau, raised the stock price, and reaped the benefits of the fisherman. In my opinion, it is better for us to cooperate with Dadong Telegraph Bureau and Wujiang Group to jointly acquire Hong Kong Telephone Company! Luke Theresa suggested.

When Zhou Anping heard this, he was slightly surprised: "You can talk about it, how Wujiang and Dadong Telegraph Bureau joined forces, and how the equity will be distributed in the end!" ”

Luke Theresa said with a smile: "After the original plan of the Great Eastern Telegraph Company to acquire the Hong Kong Telephone Company, it will merge with the Great Eastern Telegraph Company (Hong Kong) Limited to form a new company called the Hong Kong Telecommunications Company. Therefore, the way we cooperate is that your company will pay for it, and Dadong Telegraph Office will take out the Hong Kong branch as an asset and merge the Hong Kong Telephone Company together to establish the Hong Kong Telecommunications Company! As for how to distribute the shares of the two parties, I think that as long as the cooperation intention is reached, the matter of equity distribution can be discussed slowly, and it should not be a problem. ”

Luke Theresa smiled bitterly in his heart, Dadong Telegraph Company could not come up with a huge amount of money to acquire the Hong Kong Telephone Company, if it were not for the intervention in the Wujiang Group, Dadong Telegraph Bureau would acquire the Hong Kong Telephone Company in the form of a small amount of cash + equity.

Great Eastern Telegraph Co., Ltd. is even more worried that with the acquisition of Hong Kong Telephone Company by the Wujiang Group, with the influence and financial resources of the Wujiang Group in Hong Kong, the Great Eastern Telegraph (Hong Kong) Co., Ltd. will face an unrivaled competitor.

This is what the Daito Telegraph Office does not want to see.

In addition, the Borderless Group has a close relationship with the mainland, and after 1997, I am afraid that Dadong Telegraph (Hong Kong) Co., Ltd. will become difficult in Hong Kong.

Rather than this, it is better to turn enemies into friends.

The Daito Telegraph Office just wanted to make money, and it didn't want to go against Wujiang.

Therefore, Luke Theresa took the initiative to seek cooperation.

"Well, Mr. Theresa, what you mentioned, I personally think, should be fine. However, in the end, it depends on what my boss wants! Zhou Anping said frankly.

Luke Theresa nodded and said, "Well, I understand...... Mr. Zhou, please inform Mr. Zhao of the sincerity of our Dadong Telegraph Bureau, and hope that we can reach in-depth cooperation with each other! ”

"Okay, I will!" Zhou Anping smiled and nodded in response.

A few minutes later, after sending Luke Theresa away, Zhou Anping called Zhao Ye and concisely told Luke Theresa's intentions.

Zhao Ye was surprised when he heard this.

"In this case, let's cooperate directly with Dadong Telegraph Company and strive to occupy a dominant position in the newly established Hong Kong Telecommunications Company!" Zhao Ye thought for a moment and said.

If it chooses not to cooperate, then Wujiang Communication Technology Company can only buy the Hong Kong Telephone Company first, and then acquire the Great Eastern Telegraph Company (Hong Kong) Co., Ltd., but the latter may not be willing to sell, so it will be difficult for the Hong Kong Telephone Company to monopolize the telecommunications market.

Another reason is that the shareholders of the Hong Kong Telephone Company are insatiable and self-righteous, and want to compete with Dadong Telegraph Company and raise the stock price.

Recently, it has been rumored throughout Hong Kong that Wujiang and Dadong Telegraph Company both want to acquire the Hong Kong Telephone Company.

As soon as such huge positive news spread, the stock price of Hong Kong Telephone Company soared.

In a week or so, the market value of the Hong Kong telephone company skyrocketed to 18 billion Hong Kong dollars.

The sharp increase in the stock price of Hong Kong Telephone Company has also prompted Wujiang Group to reach a cooperation with Dadong Telegraph Company to a certain extent.

The next day, Zhou Anping informed Luke Theresa that Wujiang Group was willing to cooperate with Dadong Telegraph.

Next, Zhou Anping and Luke Theresa held several rounds of negotiations.

After 5 days, the two sides reached an agreement.

Wujiang Communication Technology Co., Ltd. invested 15 billion yuan to jointly acquire Hong Kong Telephone Company with Dadong Telegraph Bureau (Hong Kong) Co., Ltd., and the new company after the formation - Hong Kong Telecommunications Company, Wujiang Communication Technology Co., Ltd. holds 60% of the shares, and Dadong Telegraph Co., Ltd. holds 40% of the shares.

After the two sides signed a secret agreement, they began to jointly suppress the stock price of Hong Kong Telephone Company.

The two parties jointly announced that they would abandon the acquisition of Hong Kong Telephone Company, and Wujiang Communication Technology Co., Ltd. would instead cooperate with Cable & Cable Company to expand the scale of the telecommunications industry of Cable & Cable Corporation (Hong Kong) Co., Ltd.

Marvin Keppel and others were holding a shareholder meeting at this time.

"It is undoubtedly the wisest decision to attract the acquisition of the Hong Kong Telephone Company, and since we revealed that the Boundary Markets Group wants to acquire the Hong Kong Telephone Company, the company's stock price has begun to skyrocket!" Marvin Keppel laughed, smug.

The other shareholders were also happy.

However, several executives such as Warren Tony are worried.

Wujiang Group and Dadong Telegraph Office haven't been in contact with them for several days, so there won't be any changes, right......

Marvin Keppel was full of excitement and continued: "The longer it drags on, the higher the share price of HKTC, and we can all make a lot of money!! ”

As soon as the words fell, an assistant hurried in outside the door.

"Oh no, Wujiang Communication Technology Co., Ltd. and Dadong Telegraph Co., Ltd. jointly announced that both sides have given up the acquisition of Hong Kong Telephone Company, but have strengthened cooperation with each other to vigorously promote the development of the telecommunications industry in Hong Kong!"

As soon as the assistant's words were finished, everyone suddenly became panicked!

This news is undoubtedly a bolt from the blue for the Hong Kong telephone company.

Marvin Keppel's fat body almost fell to the ground, and he couldn't help but say something in his mouth: "It's over, it's over, the stock price of Hong Kong Telephone Company is about to plummet wildly, and I haven't had time to cash out yet......"

Warren Tony couldn't help but curse in a low voice, "Damn it".

He knew very well that it was Marvin Keppel's insatiable gang of greedy guys who caused the good situation to become like this.

Both Dadong Telegraph and Wujiang Group held a large number of shares in the Hong Kong Telephone Company, and together they were enough to control the Hong Kong Telephone Company.

In order to make the cost of acquiring the Hong Kong Telephone Company even lower, the two companies will inevitably jointly suppress the Hong Kong Telephone Company, and when the time is ripe, they will directly cooperate to acquire the Hong Kong Telephone Company.

The tide is over!

Warren Tony sat in his chair with a decadent face, not wanting to say a word.

Marvin Keppel and many other major shareholders are already anxious like ants on a hot pot.

Hong Kong Stock Exchange.

Following the news of the joint statement of Wujiang and Dadong Telegraph, the stock price of Hong Kong Telephone Company plummeted like an avalanche.

The shareholders of the Hong Kong telephone company were suddenly in mourning.

"Why didn't Wujiang and Dadong Telegraph buy the Hong Kong Telephone Company? Marvin Keppel, executive director of the Hong Kong Telephone Company, also said yesterday that he was secretly negotiating with Wujiang and Dadong Telegraph Bureau...... "An old shareholder is full of doubts while grieving."

The authorities are confused, and the bystanders are clear.

Next to the old shareholder, a shareholder who is not a Hong Kong telephone company couldn't help but explain: "This is not simple, the stock price of the Hong Kong telephone company has risen so much, Wujiang and Dadong Telegraph Company don't want to buy it." I heard that Marvin Keppel and others are insatiable and have been asking Wujiang and Dadong Telegraph Bureau to add money. As a result, it angered Wujiang and Dadong Telegraph Bureau, and instead prompted the two companies to work together! ”

"The top management of the Hong Kong Telephone Company has taken it upon themselves, and this is good, Wujiang has joined forces with the Dadong Telegraph Bureau, and the strong alliance will not be able to frantically seize the market share of the Hong Kong Telephone Company in the future."

"Yes, Wujiang Group has ATV and Oriental Daily, and its propaganda power is unprecedentedly strong, and it has strong financial resources. The future of Hong Kong Telephone Company is really worrying! ”

"Brother, if you believe me, you should quickly sell the shares of the Hong Kong Telephone Company now, for a period of time in the future, the stock price of the Hong Kong Telephone Company will continue to fall, and you will doubt your life until you fall!"

"Alas, I've already sold it, but unfortunately no one buys it!" The old shareholders want to cry without tears.

At about 2 o'clock in the afternoon, Dadong Telegraph Co., Ltd. suddenly announced that Dadong Telegraph (Hong Kong) Co., Ltd. had received investment from Wujiang Communication Technology Co., Ltd., and planned to expand the number of base stations and fixed-line lines, and acquire 20 Wujiang 10,000-door program-controlled switches to provide better telecommunications services for the public.

Good guys, as soon as this news came out, it was undoubtedly worse for the Hong Kong Telephone Company.

At the opening of the afternoon session, the share price of HKTC continued to avalanche.

Some people who know the inside story saw this and couldn't help but sigh "It's really ruthless"!

Marvin Keppel and others already regretted it at this time.

If you know that you will sell the company to Wujiang Communication Technology Company, how can there be such a thing.

At the moment, Marvin Keppel and others had to urge Warren Tony to contact Zhou Anping and find a way to quickly dispose of the shares in their hands.

It's a pity that Zhou Anping politely refused to meet Warren Tony under various excuses.

Within a few days, the market value of the Hong Kong telephone company fell below HK$10 billion.

It was only at this time that Zhou Anping accepted Warren Toney's meeting.

After the meeting, Zhou Anping made it clear that Wujiang and Dadong Telegraph Co., Ltd. will jointly acquire the Hong Kong Telephone Company, with a market value of 10 billion Hong Kong dollars, and if the Hong Kong Telephone Company does not agree, then it will continue to be jointly suppressed by Wujiang and Dadong Telegraph Co., Ltd.

Warren Tony reluctantly returned to the company and relayed Zhou Anping's meaning to the company's shareholders and senior management.

At this time, the major shareholders were already like frightened birds, Marvin Keppel cried and said: "10 billion Hong Kong dollars is too low, billions less than before......"

"Marvin Keppel, if you don't accept it, then sit back and wait for the company's stock price to continue to plummet." Warren Tony looks like a mess, you can do whatever you like, anyway, I, the general manager, will be taken off soon, it doesn't matter.

The acquisition of the Hong Kong Telephone Company is a foregone conclusion. Wujiang and Dadong Telegraph Co., Ltd. joined forces, and the shares in their hands were enough to become the owner of the Hong Kong Telephone Company. At present, the stock price is suppressed, just to buy the Hong Kong telephone company at a low price.

Warren Tony sees it through.

In the conference room, there was a lot of noise and controversy for a while, which was more lively than the vegetable market.

At this time, many people began to complain about Marvin Keppel, who advocated taking advantage of the Wujiang Group to take advantage of the opportunity to raise prices.

But it turned out to be like this.

Not long after, the shareholders' meeting was noisy, and the anger came, and it turned into a full martial arts, Marvin Keppel was obese, with more than a dozen, and finally although he was defeated, he was still honored and sent to the hospital for treatment.

The news then broke, which caused the share price of the Hong Kong telephone company to plummet.

Zhao Ye was far away in Shanghai, and he also heard the news at this time, his expression was very stunned, and after half a sound, he didn't know what to say, so he had to sigh and say: ", it's really awesome, I've seen it for a long time......"
