Chapter 1132 A Cornered Dog Will Jump over the Wall!

Youde died, and Zhong Yijie took over.

This was a change caused by Yang Ming's stirring.

As for the fact that Taikoo and Shi Huaiya families had to introduce more powerful Z capital to resist the Empire Group.

Yang Ming didn't know yet.

However, he knew that Taikoo in history had to introduce Zhongxin Group even without the Empire Group.

In October, after the Queen's second visit to Hong Kong.

On December 5, after Youde's death.

Time passed quickly.

During this period, Yang Ming has been going back and forth between the Empire Group and Hong Kong Science and Technology City.

With the coming of 1987.

The situation in Su Lian seems to be even more bleak.

December 15, 1986.

Monday.

Yang Ming just got up and felt a little chilly outside. He simply put on a coat. When he came down from upstairs, Alina came over and said, "Sir, a group of chemical talents flew from Almaty to Hong Kong this morning."

Chemical talents?

That must be the senior talents from Su Lian.

As for why it was not in Moscow, but in Almaty.

At this time, Almaty was also a big city in the Soviet Union, with a population of over one million, and it also gathered a group of talents from all aspects of the Soviet Union. For example, a large part of the current batch of chemical talents came from Almaty universities and research institutes.

For talents.

Whether it is physics, chemistry, or other aspects of Soviet talents, Yang Ming attaches great importance to them.

"Alina, after breakfast, you will go to the airport to greet them on my behalf."

Now Alina is Yang Ming's assistant.

The most important thing is that Alina knows Russian, and she is a Soviet Jew. It is most appropriate for her to represent Yang Ming to pick up those talents at the airport.

"Yes, sir."

After breakfast.

Alina took a car to Kai Tak International Airport.

Yang Ming and Yingla took a car back to the headquarters of the Empire Group Building.

Just got back there.

He Chaoliang, Lin Xiuzhi has arrived.

When Yang Ming sat down, He Chaoliang and the two women did not see Alina, and guessed that Alina should go to the airport to greet those Soviet talents.

Originally in Hong Kong, the official language is English, but Cantonese is still the main language.

Now, with the addition of Soviet talents, Russian has become a very important language.

Of course, before this, the main executives of Empire Games, a subsidiary of Empire Group, were all from Japan, and Japanese was also a very important part.

However, people like Tomohiro Nishikado and Akio Nakanishi usually take the initiative to learn Cantonese and communicate in Cantonese.

On the contrary, although the Empire Group is still dominated by white executives, English is the main language.

Including important meetings, English is basically used for communication.

Yang Ming is considering that 97 is getting closer and closer.

He thinks it is a more important language.

Mandarin should at least be circulated within the Empire Group.

Moreover, for the future, Yang Ming knows that when the time is right, Hong Kong should also officially start to regard Mandarin as a more important language.

"Boss, we just received a rumor." Lin Xiuzhi said.

Rumor?

"What news?"

"Swire and the Shi Huaiya family may introduce a very powerful Z-investment group."

Introducing a very powerful Z-investment group?

At this time, Hong Kong really has many Z-investment groups.

Among them, Zhongxin Group, which was established by the Rong family in 1979, is also a major shareholder of Zhongxin by Yang Ming and Empire Group.

There is also Huarun Group, which was established a long time ago and its headquarters is also in Hong Kong.

Then there is Guangda Group, which was established by the state in Hong Kong three years ago.

In addition, there are Xiangjiang Z Brigade, Xiangjiang Z Bank, etc.

These are companies established by China in Hong Kong very early or in recent years. In addition to being headquartered in Hong Kong, they were also initially intended to introduce more capital to Hong Kong and develop the country.

Of course, in history, these Chinese capitals also played another role.

That is, in history, most of the British capital withdrew from Hong Kong, and the vacant market was basically filled by Japanese capital, American capital, and Chinese capital, avoiding the withdrawal of British capital, which caused a great impact on the Hong Kong economy.

Today, because of the relationship between Yang Ming and Empire Group, the British capital in Hong Kong has basically been swallowed up or controlled. They can neither withdraw nor vacate other markets.

However, now there is news that Chinese capital is going to invest in Taikoo.

Yang Ming has guessed that it must be the Zhongxin Group of the Rong family.

"I already know it's Zhongxin Group."

Zhongxin Group?

Ho Chiu-ling, Lin Xiu-zhi, and Yingla were all a little surprised to hear this.

At the beginning, Lin Xiu-zhi was still very clear about the development of Zhongxin Group.

In recent years, relying on the development of capital from Hong Kong, Japan and other countries, Zhongxin Group has developed very fast. In recent years, it has been acquiring overseas companies and even some Hong Kong companies. In a few years, it will become a Fortune 500 company.

"Boss, what should we do?" Lin Xiu-zhi asked hurriedly.

Originally, according to the plan of the Empire Group, it was to swallow up Taikoo Foreign Trade, which naturally included its subsidiary Guorui Airlines.

Now, if the Shi Huaiya family introduces Zhongxin Group to Guorui Airlines, it is equivalent to introducing domestic capital. In this case, it is difficult for the Empire Group to deal with Taikoo.

"When a dog is desperate, it will jump over the wall. This is inevitable. Shi Huaiya and Taikoo executives are both very powerful people. In order to survive, it is normal to cut off their arms to survive."

In fact, Yang Ming knew that in the future, Swire would mainly be able to retain Swire Properties, and almost all of its subsidiaries, such as Guorui Airlines and Swire Coca-Cola, would introduce foreign capital.

Especially in the domestic market, it is necessary to introduce foreign capital.

However, Guorui Airlines and even Swire Coca-Cola in the Asian market, because Swire and Swire cut off their arms to survive, finally retained their management status, but the price they paid was a bit high.

"Boss, then we won't interfere in this matter?" Lin Xiuzhi asked.

If Zhongxin Group is to be introduced, it is equivalent to introducing domestic capital. Yang Ming's direct or indirect interference will be very embarrassing.

However, Yang Ming thought: "Interference! But it's not what you think. We will wait for Swire to introduce Zhongxin Group first, and then we will take action."

In fact, Yang Ming thought of another aspect.

Originally, the largest shareholder of Guorui Airlines was Swire, and the second largest shareholder was Huifeng Bank, holding 70% and 30% respectively, but after listing, the shares were diluted.

Even in history, Zhongxin Xiangjiang acquired 12.5% ​​of Guorui Airlines' shares for HK$1.936 billion, becoming the third largest shareholder.

In other words, Huifeng Bank still has more than 20% of the shares, and Swire still has more than 50%. If Zhongxin wants to acquire 12.5% ​​of Guorui Airlines' shares this time as it did in the past, it means that Huifeng Bank still has a lot of shares.

By then, Yang Ming will have more than 30% of the shares from Huifeng Bank and the shares acquired on the market. In the case of cooperation with Zhongxin, it will exceed 40%. In addition to Swire, the Empire Group and Zhongxin Group are already the second largest shareholders. Then facing Swire and the Swire family, the Empire Group has more ways to swallow up Guorui Airlines.
