Chapter 568 Empire Group Is About to Acquire Hong Kong Underground Railway Company
Chapter 568 Empire Group is about to acquire Hong Kong Underground Railway Company!
Before the Queen's official birthday.
First, Shen Yi and his wife left Hong Kong for London, and then Governor MacLeod and his wife left Hong Kong for London.
They all left quietly.
After MacLeod and Kayla, who were far away in London, learned about their boss's idea, MacLeod went to meet Mrs. Satchel on behalf of Yang Ming. Mrs. Satchel supported Sir Yang to establish a technology park in Hong Kong and supported Sir Yang to acquire Hong Kong Underground Railway Company.
With the support of Mrs. Satchel, it would be much easier for MacLeod and Kayla to accumulate relationships in London.
Shen Yi and his wife returned to London.
Shen Yi first went to Buckingham Palace to meet the Queen and gave the Queen a birthday gift on behalf of Sir Yang.
Now that Yang Ming is no longer in London, Shen Yi gave Sir Yang's valuable gift to the Queen. The Queen was still very happy and had a better impression of Sir Yang who was far away in Hong Kong.
In addition, Shen Yi also used his connections. Basically, after those people got the benefits, they did not oppose Sir Yang's acquisition of the Hong Kong Underground Railway Company in Hong Kong.
The MacLehose couple quietly returned to London, and MacLehose met those people separately.
What MacLehose did not expect was that these people actually supported Sir Yang's acquisition of the Hong Kong Subway Company.
In other words, he originally thought that London would be more opposed, and he suddenly found that it was much easier than they imagined.
This time he went for nothing.
Before MacLehose and his wife returned to Hong Kong, he met with Mrs. Satchel before he flew back to Hong Kong.
. . .
June 15, 1980.
The day after the Queen's official birthday is also Father's Day in the West.
The Empire Group sent people to secretly talk with the executives of the Hong Kong Underground Railway Company, the Financial Department and others about the acquisition of the Hong Kong Underground Railway Company.
The Hong Kong Underground Railway Company has not yet been listed. According to the current market value of the Hong Kong Underground Railway Company's properties, according to the third-party evaluation hired by both parties, the market value of the Hong Kong Underground Railway Company exceeds 10 billion Hong Kong dollars.
At this time, the Hong Kong Subway Company has not yet been listed and is in a loss-making state, which does not mean that it is not valuable. On the contrary, the Hong Kong Subway Company still holds a large amount of reserve land and properties, which are still valuable.
The third-party evaluation company hired this time conducted an evaluation and concluded that the market value is higher than that of Huifeng Bank, which has the highest market value in Hong Kong.
This evaluation value has a certain reference value.
The Empire Group sent members headed by Ma Shimin, Wei Li, Tang Shilian, etc. to talk with representatives from the Hong Kong Governor's Office and the Hong Kong Finance Department.
In the end, the two sides decided to trade at a market value of HK$10.2 billion.
The Empire Group acquired 70% of the shares of the Hong Kong Subway Company, and the remaining 30% of the shares still belonged to the Hong Kong Governor's Office and the Finance Department.
The Empire Group acquired the shares for HK$7.14 billion according to the purchased shares.
Among them, the 70% of the shares were funded by the Empire Group.
During this period, the Empire Group and the Hong Kong Governor's Office have been negotiating secretly, and outsiders did not know.
Until the two sides finished talking.
The outside world does not know who suddenly spread the news that the Hong Kong Underground Railway Company will be acquired by Sir Yang of the Empire Group.
As soon as this news came out, it immediately shocked all walks of life in Hong Kong.
Now the Hong Kong Underground Railway is losing money, but many people know the true value of the Hong Kong Underground Railway.
. . .
Deep Water Bay Mid-Levels Villa.
The Li family.
Li Jiacheng just came back from get off work.
Ever since Sir Yang's Empire Group cancelled the common area, Li Jiacheng has been in an attitude between cancellation and retention.
He wanted to learn from the Empire Group and cancel the common area, but he was reluctant to cut his own flesh.
He wanted to keep the common area, but found that the real estate under the Changhuang Industrial Group began to be difficult to sell.
From the Empire Group announced the cancellation of the common area, until now, Changhuang Industrial Group has not recovered much funds, nor sold many houses.
According to the current rate of increase in housing prices and land prices in Hong Kong, it stands to reason that continuing to hold on to the batch of pre-sale houses and not selling them is a wealth appreciation for Changhuang Industrial Group.
He always felt that there was a great worry in this.
I don't know when it started, but Li Jiacheng suddenly began to feel that he was old and no longer had the confidence to make decisions as before. This made his confidant Zhou Qianyu and even his female secretary Hong Xiaolian feel that Li Jiacheng was doing things differently from before.
"Sir, you're back."
Seeing her husband Li Jiacheng coming back, Zhuang Yueming helped take down his suit and hung it on the hanger.
Li Jiacheng sat directly on the sofa.
Zhuang Yueming knew about her husband's troubles.
Now, Zhuang Yueming herself can't judge the next situation of the real estate industry in Hong Kong.
On the one hand, the Empire Group cancelled the common area by itself, sold houses on a large scale, and recovered funds.
On the other hand, most real estate companies in Hong Kong were reluctant to cut their losses and still had to retain the common area.
Li Jiacheng sat there, reading newspapers as he did in the past. He hadn't seen news about Sir Yang for a while, and he always felt strange.
Three months ago, he heard that Sir Yang, as a Justice of the Peace, ventured to the lawless area of Kowloon Walled City, and announced the establishment of primary and secondary schools, technical schools, and universities in Hong Kong when he came back.
Li Jiacheng was not interested in these things.
At this time, the maid had prepared dinner and came over and said, "Madam, dinner is ready. You, the gentleman, and the two young masters can have dinner."
Zhuang Yueming was about to call Li Jiacheng over for dinner when the landline in the living room suddenly rang.
Zhuang Yueming went over to pick up the landline and answered it.
"Hello, I'm Yueming."
"Hello, Mrs. Li, I'm Qianliu, and I just have a very important message to tell the boss."
"You say."
"I just heard that Sir Yang of the Empire Group is going to acquire the Hong Kong Underground Railway Company."
The Empire Group is going to acquire the Hong Kong Underground Railway Company?
Zhuang Yueming was also shocked when she heard it.
Although the Hong Kong Underground Railway Company was not listed or privatized, what would it mean if it was acquired by the Empire Group?
In 1977, Li Jiacheng and Changgang Industrial Group were at their peak. In addition to acquiring the American-funded Yonggao Company and controlling the Hong Kong Hilton Hotel.
Cooperating with Huifeng Bank to take over the Chinese Bank for reconstruction.
There is also cooperation with the Hong Kong Underground Railway Company.
This year was the peak of Li Jiacheng and Changgang Industrial Group. Changgang Industrial Group made a lot of profit from its cooperation with the Hong Kong Underground Railway Company.
Zhuang Yueming's expression changed several times.
"Madam, who is it?" Li Jiacheng put down the newspaper and asked.
"Sir, it's Qianli calling, why don't you listen to it yourself."
Li Jiacheng came over and asked, "Qianli, what's the matter?"
"Boss, I just heard a piece of news, which is not 100% certain for the time being. It is said that the Empire Group is going to acquire the Hong Kong Underground Railway Company?"
What?
The Empire Group is going to acquire the Hong Kong Underground Railway Company?
Li Jiacheng's face changed drastically.
Some time ago, when the Empire Group acquired Kowloon Motor Bus and China Bus, he was still fine.
Now when he heard that the Empire Group was going to acquire the Hong Kong Underground Railway Company, his face became distorted again.
"Boss, that's the news, I'll hang up first."
Hearing that there was no sound coming from Li Jiacheng, Zhou Qianli hung up the phone.
"Sir, how are you?"
