Chapter 296 Divert the attention of Xiangjiang citizens and London!

Except for Tang Shilian, who is Chinese, everyone here is white, and they have unanimously sworn allegiance to Yang Ming.

This means that Yang Ming's interests are their interests.

Everything they do must be considered for Mr. Yang.

Now that Yang Ming is in his hometown, Yang Ming probably doesn't know about the affairs in Xiangjiang. Even if he does, he probably won't interfere. However, as professional managers and Yang Ming's subordinates, they must handle these matters for Mr. Yang.

That is to eliminate as much as possible the unhappiness and resentment in London towards the Imperial Group and Mr. Yang, and even to achieve a balance in the middle as much as possible.

Historically, Chinese investors like Li Jiacheng, Bao Yugang, etc. all returned to China, and Li Jiacheng was also assisted by Mai Lisi and Ma Shimin.

Will Li Jiacheng also encounter this kind of problem in history?

Inevitable to encounter.

Li Jiacheng was still able to be supported by mainly white people such as Shen Yi, and swallowed up Hutchison Whampoa and Xiangjiang Electric Lighting Company, which is enough to show how powerful Li Jiacheng was in handling this aspect.

Meris and others knew that Mr. Yang was a young man, young and energetic. Under such circumstances, his words must have a lot to do with the environment at that time.

"Li Caixin, just asking Zuopai newspapers to stop reporting will not work. On the contrary, this may affect the reputation accumulated by the boss in the country." Kayla said hurriedly.

If he did that, wouldn't it affect what Mr. Yang did?

In Kayla's view, Yang Ming returned to Yanjing to attend the National Day ceremony, donated huge sums of money to support domestic education, and now went back to his hometown with his parents to pay homage to his ancestors, all of which were to build ties with the country.

Hearing Kayla say that, Li Caixin felt the same.

"what about you?"

Melis asked.

The people here are all first-class smart people.

Ma Shimin said: "Mr. Mailliss, Mr. Yang returned to his hometown in China to worship his ancestors. Because of his special status, he has always been the focus of Xiangjiang. Naturally, he has attracted the attention of those Xiangjiang citizens. If we can divert the attention of those Xiangjiang citizens, If you send newspapers and periodicals to continue reporting, I’m afraid it won’t have much effect.”

Meris's idea was to divert the attention of other citizens.

Then those supporting newspapers and periodicals find that they have no effect, and they will inevitably reduce their reporting in this area.

Ma Shimin's idea brightened the eyes of many people present and felt that it was really like that.

"Mr. Ma Shimin, what can you use to divert other people's attention?"

Before.

When Yang Ming acquired Jardine Land, there were rumors about the scandal between Yang Ming and Teresa Teng. In fact, this can be regarded as a diversion.

At that time, Yang Ming was the chairman of the Empire Group and Teresa Teng was a famous female singer in Asia. There were scandals between the two, which naturally attracted the attention of many people.

What many people did not expect was that under such circumstances, the Imperial Group suddenly made additional purchases of Jardine Matheson Land at a high price, leaving Henry Joseph, Niu Bijian, and Bao Fuda at that time not knowing how to deal with it.

Bao Fuda was deeply impressed by this incident. From that time on, he was really afraid and admired Mr. Yang.

"Mr. Meilis, Mr. Ma Shimin, and Miss Kayla, why don't we concoct a scandal between Mr. Yang and a female star?"

Concocting a scandal between Mr. Yang and a female celebrity?

Keira frowned upon hearing this.

"Now that Mr. Yang is in his hometown, how can he concoct a scandal between him and a female star?" Kayla asked unhappily.

Bao Fuda heard the same thing.

These are scandals in themselves, true or false, they don’t have to be true, and they don’t have to have a specific place or time.

Last time, didn’t those Hong Kong newspapers randomly compile the scandal between Mr. Yang and the female host of Asia Television?

Just say it, whether others believe it or not.

Which female star is worthy of Mr. Yang's scandal now?

Kayla and Meilisi felt that this would definitely not work and would affect Mr. Yang's reputation.

Meris shook his head and said: "I also agree with Miss Kayla's statement. Bao Fuda, your method of diverting attention will not work."

"Mr. Malice, I can't think of a better way than this for the time being."

The remaining Wei Peter and Xia Boyin didn't want to express their opinions, but they didn't know what better way to divert their attention.

When Merith saw them all frowning, he could only say: "It seems that this is the only way."

"Mr. Malice, don't you know what to do?"

"Takeover war."

Takeover war?

Ma Shimin and others were a little surprised when they heard this.

Is the Imperial Group going to acquire another company?

"Before the boss left Xiangjiang, he actually told me that at the appropriate time during this period, he would acquire Qingzhou Yingni, an established British-owned company."

Qingzhou Yingni?

Ma Shimin and others were surprised again when they heard this.

Qingzhou Cement Factory, the earliest cement factory in country Z, is also known as Qingzhou Ying Cement Factory.

It was first founded by businessmen from country Z in the Haojiang area.

A businessman from Country Z rented a piece of land in Qingzhou from St. Joseph's Seminary in Samba Chai for a rent of 1,200 taels per year for a factory building.

After 1889, it was taken over by businessmen from country Y as shareholders.

The quality of the barreled cement produced by this factory is quite good. In addition to being sold in the Haojiang area, it is also sold to other places.

The raw materials mainly come from stones from Yingde in Guangdong Province and local river mud and mountain rocks from Haojiang.

In the 1920s, Guangdong Province restricted the export of British and German stones, resulting in a shortage of raw materials and had to suspend production.

In the 1930s, Qingzhou Yingni moved to Kowloon, Hong Kong to resume business.

Now its main business is the production and sales of cement and other construction materials, and it owns a large amount of high-quality land in Hung Hom, Kowloon.

Among the 30 listed companies with the largest market value in Hong Kong, Qingzhou Yingni ranked 19th, with a total market value of HK$864 million.

Yang Ming has been paying attention to this company a long time ago.

In fact, it has something to do with Li Jiacheng.

Historically, after Li Jiacheng sold Wharf shares to Bao Yugang, he asked Zhou Qianzhao and others to quietly absorb Qingzhou Yingni's shares in the market, and succeeded very easily.

Historically, Li Jiacheng purchased 25% of the equity of Qingzhou Yingni through Changji Industrial Group and joined the board of directors of Qingzhou Yingni. After 1979, his shareholding in Qingzhou Yingni increased to 36%, and Li Jiacheng officially became the chairman of Qingzhou Yingni. .

Later, through the cooperation between Changjiang Industrial Group and Qingzhou Yingni, a large amount of land in Hung Hom was digested, bringing a lot of wealth to Li Jiacheng.

In addition, Li Jiacheng later acquired the Country Z cement factory in Xiangjiang through Qingzhou Yingni, monopolizing the cement industry in Xiangjiang in one fell swoop.

Yang Ming has long been determined to win Qingzhou Yingni.

However, compared to Wharf, Hutchison Whampoa, Jardine Matheson Land, and even Heung Kong Electric Company, Yang Ming has been ranked behind in acquisitions.

Before Yang Ming returned to his hometown this time, he had already told Mailisi to swallow Qingzhou Yingni at the right time.

Before that, Meris was still thinking about when was the most suitable time. Now it seems that the time has come, hasn’t it?

Meris believes that the acquisition of Qingzhou Yingni can divert the news about Mr. Yang's domestic situation reported by Zuopai newspapers. By then, investors and citizens of Xiangjiang will definitely focus on the Imperial Group's acquisition of Qingzhou Yingni.
