Chapter 571 Empire Group Officially Swallows up Hong Kong Underground Railway Company

Chapter 571 The Imperial Group officially swallows up the Xiangjiang Mass Transit Railway Company! Shocked all walks of life in Hong Kong! !

June 16, 1980.

Monday.

Imperial Group Conference Room.

Reporters from major newspapers and magazines in Hong Kong, reporters from Hong Kong TVB TV station, Hong Kong Li's TV station, Xiangjiang Radio station, etc. were suddenly notified and went to the conference room of the Empire State Building to attend a press conference.

At this time, many reporters had come to Imperial Group.

They took out their press credentials, registered their identities, and went to the Imperial Group conference room to wait.

These reporters have heard some rumors in advance about the Imperial Group's tens of billions of Hong Kong dollars to acquire the Xiangjiang Metro Corporation. I don't know if it is true?

Now these reporters are in private, whispering, waiting for the upcoming press conference.

9:20 am.

Yang Ming was accompanied by Ma Shimin, Wei Li, Wei Peter, Tang Shilian, Mou Shili, as well as Xiangjiang Bus Group General Manager Huang Yaonan, deputy general manager Deng Zhaojian, Yan Chengkun and others.

There are also Li Channing, general manager of the Star Ferry, a subsidiary of Wharf Group, and Lin Rich, general manager of Heung Kong Tramway.

Channing Li and Rich Lin are both authentic white people, but they transliterated their names into Xiangjiang names based on their English names.

It still sounds a little weird.

Now that the general manager of Empire Group, Melisi, is in London, this press conference will be hosted by Yang Ming. He has not hosted such a press conference for a long time.

These people were talking and laughing behind Yang Ming. When the reporters saw them, they immediately took out their cameras to take pictures.

"Sir Yang, what is the important news at the Imperial Group press conference today?"

"Sir Yang, it is said that the Imperial Group wants to acquire the Xiangjiang Mass Transit Railway Company with a huge sum of money? Is this news accurate?"

. . .

Yang Ming didn't answer.

He came to the chief position in front of the conference room and sat down, after everyone else sat down.

Yang Ming looked at the time.

9:30 am.

"I will host this press conference on the acquisition of the Xiangjiang Mass Transit Railway Company by Imperial Group."

When Yang Ming just announced the news, although many reporters had heard about it in advance, they were still shocked.

The Xiangjiang Mass Transit Railway Company was actually acquired by the Imperial Group.

"After Empire Group and the Finance Department of the Governor's Office hired a third-party appraisal company to evaluate the assets of the Xiangjiang Mass Transit Railway Company, both parties finally confirmed that the market value of the Xiangjiang Mass Transit Railway Company is HK$10.2 billion."

The investment in the Xiangjiang Mass Transit Railway Company is huge, but much of the investment funds are borrowed from banks. Now that the Xiangjiang Mass Transit Railway Company has not made a profit and has not been listed, the appraisal price given by the Imperial Group and the Finance Department of the Xiangjiang Governor's Office has been It's very high.

Even in 1980, there were only a few listed companies in Hong Kong worth HK$10.2 billion.

Under such circumstances, it is impossible to say that the imperial group has invaded the interests of the Governor's Mansion.

"According to the acquisition negotiations between the Imperial Group and the Government-General's Office in Hong Kong, both parties are very satisfied with the acquisition. Last night, the acquisition contract was officially signed at the Government-General's Office. The Empire Group acquired 70% of the shares of the Hong Kong Mass Transit Railway Company, and the remaining 30% of the shares remain It is still in the hands of the Finance Department of the Xiangjiang Government House. From today on, the management, finance, etc. of the Xiangjiang Mass Transit Railway Company will be handed over to the Imperial Group."

In other words, the Imperial Group spent a huge sum of HK$7.12 billion to buy 70% of the shares of the Hong Kong Mass Transit Railway Company from the Government House of Hong Kong, which still surprised many reporters present.

In the past three years, Imperial Group has been making acquisitions and seems to have sufficient funds.

Many reporters are very interested in how the Xiangjiang Mass Transit Railway Company will be managed after the acquisition by Imperial Group.

Compared with the Xiangjiang Bus Group, the Xiangjiang Mass Transit Railway Company involves more interests of ordinary people.

Including, whether it is convenient for the travel of Hong Kong citizens and office workers, the next route planning of the Hong Kong Mass Transit Railway Company, etc., there are indeed many interests involved.

Even, in all aspects.

“After the Empire Group acquires the Heung Kong Mass Transit Railway Company, we will integrate the Heung Kong Mass Transit Railway Company, the Heung Kong Bus Group, the Heung Kong Star Ferry, and the Heung Kong Tram to completely connect the waterways and land transportation in Hong Kong to facilitate Hong Kong citizens and international tourists. travel.”

. . .

"Here, I will announce the new general manager of the Hong Kong Mass Transit Railway Company."

A new general manager?

Many reporters looked over.

Many reporters did not expect that it was Mou Shili, director of Huifeng Bank.

After Mou Shili met Yang Ming last night, Yang Ming talked a lot with him.

This Mou Shili was still very smart. He immediately pledged his loyalty to Yang Ming and said that he would work in the Imperial Group until his retirement.

In order to gain Sir Yang's trust, he even planned to resign as a director of Huifeng Bank and take charge of the Hong Kong Mass Transit Railway Company.

Yang Ming felt that there was no problem with Mou Shili serving as a director of Huifeng Bank.

However, his focus must be on the Hong Kong Mass Transit Railway Company.

Yang Ming and Mou Shili finished talking last night.

Mou Shili was so excited that he couldn't sleep all night.

He never thought that he would have the opportunity to become the Taipan of the Xiangjiang Mass Transit Railway Company.

"It is Mr. Mou Shili, director of Huifeng Bank."

Yang Ming looked at Mou Shili.

Mou Shili stood up hurriedly and said, "Thank you very much for the trust of my boss Sir Yang. During my tenure as the general manager of the Hong Kong Underground Railway Company, I will do my best to manage the Hong Kong Underground Railway Company for the Empire Group and the boss."

"Now Mr. Mou Shili is the general manager of the Hong Kong Underground Railway Company. You can interview him if you have any questions."

Yang Ming did not stay any longer.

He left with Lin Xiuzhi.

The reporters in the conference room were ready to interview Mou Shili, Huang Yaonan and others.

. . .

Many reporters interviewed Mou Shili and others crazily and asked all kinds of difficult questions. Mou Shili answered them perfectly, leaving those reporters with no "handle".

The press conference ended.

The reporters immediately dispersed and went back to finish their manuscripts.

At this time, some reporters also notified their friends immediately.

The Empire Group acquired 70% of the shares of the Hong Kong Underground Railway Company for a huge sum of HK$7.12 billion, which means that Hong Kong's land transportation, except for the remaining Kowloon-Canton Railway Company, has been monopolized by the Empire Group and Sir Yang.

In addition, water transportation is basically monopolized by the Star Ferry, and the only remaining air transportation is monopolized by the China National Aviation Corporation controlled by Swire Pacific.

As soon as this news spread, it immediately shocked all walks of life in Hong Kong.

. . .

Prince's Building.

The office of the chairman of the Universal Group.

Bao Yugang was looking at the contract, and the second son-in-law Wu Guangzhen pushed open the door and walked in.

Bao Yugang and the secretary were no longer surprised by Wu Guangzhen pushing open the door and walking in.

"Father, Sir Yang is so generous."

Wu Guangzhen came in and said excitedly.

"What is so generous?"

"Just now Sir Yang has officially announced that the Empire Group has acquired 70% of the shares of the Hong Kong Underground Railway Company for 7.12 billion Hong Kong dollars, which means that the development and operation of the Hong Kong subway will be entirely decided by the Empire Group in the future."
