Chapter 237 Xiangjiang No. 1 Shipping Group! (page 12)

Federal Building.

Imperial Group Conference Room.

Reporters from major newspapers and television stations in Hong Kong, especially those from Asia Television, suddenly received a call from Empire Group, informing them to come to Empire Group for a press conference this morning.

last month.

The acquisition of Jardine Land by the Imperial Group is not only a wealth feast for Xiangjiang shareholders, but also a feast for Xiangjiang media newspapers and journalists.

Not only did it increase the circulation of Hong Kong newspapers and periodicals, the monthly income of major newspapers and periodicals was equivalent to half a year's income. The income and commissions of many reporters and even editors doubled.

Now I heard that the Imperial Group is going to hold a press conference again, there must be important news.

Early in the morning.

Many reporters have come to the Federal Building.

Among these reporters, only some were allowed to enter to attend the press conference, and many more were not allowed to enter.

. . .

Yang Ming was accompanying his parents to finish breakfast.

He also took a car to the Federal Building and took a wheelchair to the office of the chairman of the Empire Group.

Today's press conference.

Yang Ming will not attend, and the general manager of Empire Group, Merlis, will attend and host.

Yang Ming chatted with Merlis for half an hour in the chairman's office.

9:30am.

Melisi seemed to be in a different mood than before. With a smile on his face, he appeared in the conference room with Tang Shilian.

Except these two people.

and Ma Shimin, general manager of Jardine Matheson Group.

Bao Fuda, general manager of Heungkong Land Group.

Peter Wei, General Manager of Wharf Group.

Hutchison Whampoa CEO Wei Li.

To the surprise of other reporters, the senior executives of Hutchison Whampoa attending this time were also former Hutchison Whampoa executive vice president and current Hutchison Whampoa political director Li Caixin.

Last night, after Li Caixin went back, he thought about it and was excited all night.

After all, the world in Xiangjiang is still Chinese-owned, so he gave in.

Moreover, Mr. Yang's ability is not bad, and he really begins to treat Mr. Yang as his boss.

It was even early this morning. With the help of his wife, Li Caixin came to the Empire Group for the first time wearing a suit.

When he came to the Imperial Group, Yang Ming recognized his identity after meeting him.

However, in Yang Ming's circle, like Bao Fuda, he still needs further investigation.

Li Caixin sat next to Wei Li.

Others were sitting next to Ma Shimin.

"Everyone, I am Mai Lisi, general manager of Empire Group. I am hosting this press conference on behalf of Chairman Mr. Yang. Important news will be released soon."

"Mr. Malice, did you acquire another British company in Xiangjiang?"

A reporter asked immediately.

"Mr. Malice, I wonder which British company your Imperial Group has acquired, and what additional purchases are you planning to make?"

. . .

Many reporters thought that the Imperial Group and Mr. Yang were going to attack another British company. This made some white reporters present look a little bad, feeling that the British companies were like pigs waiting to be slaughtered by the Imperial Group.

In fact, the British capital in Xiangjiang is like that now. They have begun to fear and fear the sneak attacks of the imperial group.

"Everyone, this time has nothing to do with the acquisition or additional purchase of any company."

Doesn't it have anything to do with acquisitions or additional purchases of any company?

"Mr. Merliss, is this the news about Mr. Yang's inspection trip to the mainland?"

Another reporter asked.

Nowadays, reporters and newspapers in Xiangjiang are very interested in Mr. Yang's return to China.

In particular, it is reported that Mr. Yang has given the country a big gift, donating HK$1 million to the country every year to support the student fund.

This has made Hong Kong's newspapers and reporters have a much better image of big capitalists like Mr. Yang.

It is even said that when Mr. Yang attended the Badaling Great Wall in Yanjing, he also sent out heartfelt words for the motherland.

The incomplete song "My Chinese Heart" has now begun to spread to Xiangjiang, and many people will hum a few lines when they hear it.

No one knows whether this is a song or Mr. Yang's emotion at the time?

However, it is precisely this that won the praise and recognition of reporters from Xiangjiang Zuopai and Zuopai newspapers.

Merith just smiled there.

Wait until everyone is present.

The atmosphere of the scene is enough when it is.

Melis said: "Now, please be quiet. I am officially announcing the news of this press conference."

The hundreds of reporters present immediately shut up and looked nervously at Meris in front.

"First, it is about the idea of ​​Mr. Yang, chairman of our Empire Group. Mr. Yang is very optimistic about the future of the global shipping industry. In addition, after Empire Group acquired Wharf, Hutchison Whampoa, and Jardine Matheson Land, these groups themselves have already Having a foundation in shipping also has certain advantages.”

"Mr. Yang proposed to integrate the advantages of the shipping industry of Empire Group and its subsidiaries, which means that on the basis of these groups, the shipping industry of Wharf Group, Hutchison Whampoa, and Jardine Matheson Land will be integrated The shipping industry is integrated into a new international shipping group."

When Merlis announced the news, many reporters present were indeed stunned.

Imperial Group is about to start entering Hong Kong and even the global shipping industry.

Before the 1950s, Hong Kong's shipping industry had always been a British monopoly.

Later, Bao Yugang Global Shipping and Asia Shipping emerged, as well as Dong Haoyun's Orient Overseas Shipping, Zhao's Zhao Congyan's Guanghua Shipping, and Cao's Cao Wenjing's Wanbang Shipping.

Just like Meilis said.

Although before this, the shipping industry under Wharf, Hutchison Whampoa, and Jardine Matheson Land were not as good as Bao Yugang's Global Shipping, Asia Shipping, and Dong Haoyun's Orient Overseas.

However, these groups have their advantages.

Each of the shipping companies under these groups has a total deadweight tonnage of more than one million tons.

In addition, Wharf Group, Hutchison Whampoa Group, and Jardine Matheson Group have very obvious advantages. In addition to almost monopolizing the major terminals and warehouses in Hong Kong.

In Southeast Asia, even Europe, the Middle East, South Philippines, and Country M, there are many ports, terminals, and routes monopolized by these groups.

This time, Mr. Yang of Imperial Group proposed internal resource integration.

These groups are not 70% controlled by the Imperial Group. Basically, they control more than % of the shares. It is useless for small shareholders to object.

They had no choice but to obey whatever Mr. Yang wanted to do, or they could only sell their stocks.

At this time, after the Wharf and other groups were swallowed up by the Imperial Group, they no longer had the same significance as before. When they sold them, the stock price could only be very low.

The reporters present were indeed stunned.

Mr. Yang wants to enter the shipping industry, and when he does, he will show his trump card.

Are the shipping industries like Pao Yugang's Global Shipping, Asia Shipping, Tung Ho-yun's Orient Overseas, and other British-owned shipping companies in Hong Kong, such as Wheelock & Marine Shipping, Swire Shipping, and other British-owned and Chinese-owned shipping industries, eligible? Can it survive the Imperial Group's shipping industry attack?
