Chapter 571 The Imperial Group officially swallows up the Xiangjiang Mass Transit 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 Company. 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 Empire Group General Manager Merisi 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 and took 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. However, many of the investment funds were 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 Palace 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 Governor-General's Office in Hong Kong. Starting from today, the management, finance, etc. of the Hong Kong Mass Transit Railway Company will all 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 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 hurriedly stood up and said: "I am very grateful to my boss, Sir Yang, for his trust. When I serve as the general manager of the Xiangjiang Mass Transit Railway Company, I will do my best to manage the Xiangjiang Mass Transit Railway Company for the Imperial Group and my boss."

"Now Mr. Mou Shili is the general manager of the Xiangjiang Mass Transit Railway Company. If you have any questions, you can interview him."

Yang Ming did not stay any longer.

Leaving with Lin Xiuzhi.

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

. . .

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

The press conference is over.

The reporters immediately dispersed and went back to work on their stories.

At this time, some reporters immediately informed their friends.

The Imperial Group spent a huge sum of HK$7.12 billion to acquire 70% of the shares of the Xiangjiang Mass Transit Railway Company, which means that land transportation in Hong Kong, except for the Kowloon-Canton Railway Company, has been monopolized by the Imperial Group and Sir Yang.

In addition, water transportation is basically monopolized by the Star Ferry, with the exception of air transportation monopolized by China Airlines controlled by Swire Pacific.

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

. . .

Prince's Building.

Universal Group Chairman's Office.

Bao Yugang was reading the contract when his second son-in-law Wu Guangzhen opened the door and walked in.

Bao Yugang and his secretary were already accustomed to seeing Wu Guangzhen open the door and come in like that.

"Father, Sir Yang is so generous."

Wu Guangzhen came in and said excitedly.

"What's so grand?"

"Sir Yang has just announced officially that the Imperial Group has acquired 70% of the shares of the Xiangjiang Mass Transit Railway Company for HK$7.12 billion. This means that the future development and operation of the Xiangjiang Metro will be entirely decided by the Imperial Group."
