Chapter 811 Peng Bingtang, General Manager of Hong Kong Dadong Telegraph Bureau, Was Shocked.
Chapter 811 Peng Bingtang, General Manager of Hong Kong's Great Eastern Telegraph Bureau, was so shocked that he couldn't sleep!
Late at night.
A villa on the top of Victoria Peak in Hong Kong.
The person living here is Peng Bingtang, the current managing director of Hong Kong's Great Eastern Telegraph Bureau.
Although this sounds like a Chinese name, in fact, the other party is an authentic white man.
Peng Bingtang has already gone to bed.
Suddenly, the landline phone in the living room kept ringing.
Mr. Peng Bingtang's maid went to answer the phone and learned that it was a call from London. The maid could only knock on the door to wake up Peng Bingtang.
"It's so late, what's the matter?" Peng Bingtang said a little unhappy.
"Sir, it's a call from London."
A call from London?
The time difference between London and Hong Kong is seven hours.
It's late at night here, but it's still afternoon in London.
Peng Bingtang hurried down to answer the phone.
From the phone, he learned that it was the headquarters of the Great Eastern Telegraph Bureau in Country Y, or the president's office.
When Peng Bingtang heard this call, he was shocked and speechless.
The Empire Group has actually acquired the Hong Kong Cable & Telegraph Company in full?
Then as the general manager of the Hong Kong Cable & Telegraph Company, how could he not know anything about it?
When did this happen?
Why did the headquarters want to sell the Hong Kong Cable & Telegraph Company?
Historically, Peng Bingtang knew that the strategic significance of the Hong Kong Cable & Telegraph Company was more important than the economy, and he always asked the headquarters to pay attention to the market and strategic significance of the Cable & Telegraph Company in Hong Kong.
He originally wanted to acquire the Hong Kong Telephone Company.
The Empire Group has actually acquired the Hong Kong Cable & Telegraph Company.
The headquarters has already notified them, which means there is no possibility of turning back.
For a moment, he wanted to fly back to the London headquarters immediately and make it clear to the headquarters that the Hong Kong Cable & Telegraph Company must not be sold. This is not a matter of money.
They have already said that Mrs. Satchel and the cabinet have no problems. In addition, the president of the Cable & Telegraph Group of Country Y has signed the contract to be acquired.
Peng Bingtang will either fly back to the headquarters in London and resume other positions, or fly to other countries or regions to serve as general manager.
Country Y Cable Group has its own business in 38 countries and regions around the world.
Peng Bingtang wanted to say something else.
The other party had hung up the phone.
At this moment, his heart was bleeding.
As for Country Y Cable, Hong Kong Cable Company was the most profitable among all its subsidiaries, but now it has been sold.
Peng Bingtang guessed that it might be related to the future situation in Hong Kong, and London finally gave up this British capital.
What should he do?
He had met Sir Yang, the chairman of the Empire Group.
He had never gotten along with Sir Yang.
He learned from the Chief Secretary, Youde, that Sir Yang was not a good person and was not so easy to get along with.
Peng Bingtang lost all sleep.
He felt that all his plans were disrupted.
Originally, he wanted to take the opportunity to swallow up the Hong Kong Telephone Company and further monopolize Hong Kong's telecommunications.
After acquiring Jardine Land, the Empire Group is now the largest shareholder of Hong Kong Telephone Company. Hong Kong Dadong Telegraph Company wants to acquire Hong Kong Telephone Company unless the Empire Group lets go.
Now he has no chance to make a move, the Empire Group has already made a move to acquire Hong Kong Dadong Telegraph Company.
Peng Bingtang sat there for a night.
He suddenly thought.
Sir Yang is not an ordinary person. Although Niu Bijian, the boss of Jardine Land, committed suicide, many people know that he was forced to death by Sir Yang.
Now, he is just the boss of Hong Kong Dadong Telegraph Company, and he may not be soon. Why should he have any conflicts with Sir Yang?
Peng Bingtang did not rest for a night, and he looked not very energetic and a little depressed.
When he was about to go back to his room to rest, the phone in the living room rang again.
The maid went to answer it.
Peng Bingtang learned that it was his secretary who called.
"General Manager, Sir Yang, Chairman of the Empire Group, and Mr. Ma Lisi, General Manager, will come to the New Mercury Building for inspection this morning, and they specifically asked to see you."
Originally, Sir Yang, Chairman of the Empire Group, suddenly wanted to inspect the Hong Kong Great East Telegraph Company. Logically, he should also receive him.
What's more.
Now the Empire Group has acquired the Hong Kong Great East Telegraph Company in full.
"I'll go back now."
Peng Bingtang didn't dare to delay.
He immediately washed up, changed his suit, and immediately asked the driver to take him back to the company.
. . .
Yang Ming swam in the swimming pool and had breakfast with his parents.
When Yang Jirong and his wife learned that the Empire Group had spent 4.5 billion Hong Kong dollars to acquire the Hong Kong Great East Telegraph Company in full, the two were a little surprised, but they quickly recovered.
Before this.
Hong Kong Great East Telegraph Company and Hong Kong Telephone Company, like Hong Kong Electric Light Company and China Light and Power, monopolized Hong Kong telephone communications.
Now, after Yang Ming acquired this company, he has monopolized Hong Kong telephone communications.
They don't know that it's not just here, but also involves Kai Tak Airport communication services, the radio stations controlled by the Governor's Office, broadcasting, etc., all of which are now swallowed up by the Empire Group.
Yang Ming first took a car to the Empire Group headquarters.
In the chairman's office, he drank a cup of coffee made by Lin Xiuzhi.
9:00 am.
Yang Ming, Mai Lisi, and Lin Xiuzhi left the headquarters of the Empire Group by car and went to the New Mercury Building in Wan Chai.
At this time, Peng Bingtang had already arrived at the New Mercury Building in advance.
When he came here, he first called the senior executives of the Hong Kong Great Eastern Telegraph Bureau and informed them of one thing.
That is, the Empire Group has acquired the Hong Kong Great Eastern Telegraph Company in full.
Sir Yang, chairman of the Empire Group, and Mr. Mai Lisi, general manager, will soon come back here.
Now here, all are white people.
When they heard the news from General Manager Peng Bingtang, they were shocked and speechless.
How did the Hong Kong Great Eastern Telegraph Company suddenly get acquired by the Empire Group?
At the beginning, the Empire Group quietly acquired Wheelock, the third largest foreign company in Hong Kong, and other people knew the news in the same way.
However, now they never thought that Country Y would even sell such an important British company.
Is it true that all British capital is going to withdraw from Hong Kong?
"General Manager, why would the headquarters sell the Hong Kong Telegraph Company? Aren't we planning to acquire the Hong Kong Telephone Company?" A white executive asked in surprise.
"I just received the news last night. It should be that the Empire Group has already contacted the headquarters and has already negotiated, so they notified us."
"General Manager, what should we do then?"
The Empire Group has all white executives, but if the Empire Group acquires the Telegraph Company, what will their future be like?
Will they continue to stay in the Hong Kong Telegraph Company?
Or leave Hong Kong and return to Country Y?
"I don't know either. I'll tell you after I meet Sir Yang."
About an hour later.
Peng Bingtang learned that Sir Yang's car had arrived.
They came down from upstairs.
Greeted outside the entrance of the building.
