Chapter 268 A Christmas gift from Yang Ming to Xiangjiang investors

Fireworks party at Repulse Bay Mid-Levels Villa.

It lit up the sky above Repulse Bay and even Deep Water Bay.

It lights up the sky above Lamma Island.

. . .

Yang Ming, Governor Mailihao and Shen Bi were drinking there and enjoying the fireworks outside.

This time the fireworks show.

It lasted from about eight o'clock in the evening to about ten o'clock in the evening.

If we didn't consider that it might affect other people's rest and bring about a bad reputation, there would be no problem until twelve o'clock in the evening.

Christmas dinner tonight.

And tonight's Christmas fireworks show officially ends.

Yang Ming went out in person to escort Governor Mailihao and his wife to the Governor's Mansion car.

When Mailihao and his wife left in the car, Yang Ming and Shen Bi chatted for a while, and Shen Bi and his wife also got into his Bentley and left in the car.

For Yang Ming, tonight's fireworks show is more than just the beginning and the end.

When Yang Ming went up to the study room.

Mai Lisi, Ma Shimin, Wei Li, Wei Peter, Bao Fuda, Li Caixin, Kayla, and Tang Shilian, Lin Xiuzhi.

"The fireworks tonight are beautiful!"

"Boss, the fireworks are really beautiful tonight." Meris said.

. . .

"The fireworks not only lit up the sky above Deep Water Bay and Repulse Bay, but also lit up Lamma Island in the distance."

When Yang Ming proposed Lamma Island.

Meris and others were thoughtful.

Beginning in 1978, Heung Kong Electric Company began to invest in a large-scale power plant on Lamma Island.

Looking towards Lamma Island from here, you can still see it very clearly during the day.

It was so dark at night that I couldn't see.

"Mailisi, the plan can begin."

"Yes, boss."

Except for Kayla, everyone else left the Yang family's Repulse Bay Mid-Levels Villa. Even Xijiao Tomohiro and his wife went back.

They drank tonight and it was unsafe to drive, so Yang Ming sent a bodyguard to take them home in person.

The men leave and Keira is still here.

Seeing Ah Zhu, Zhong Chuhong came in with a young beauty.

"Mr. Yang, the fireworks tonight are so beautiful."

Guan Jiahui really thought that tonight's fireworks were set off specially for her by Mr. Yang.

Yang Ming smiled and said, "Have you received all the Christmas gifts?"

"Master, I received it."

"Young Master Yang, I received mine too."

"Then you go and rest first. There is no need to come here tonight."

Guan Jiahui wanted to say something else, Ah Zhu and Zhong Chuhong pulled Guan Jiahui away.

Yang Ming looked at Keira and asked, "Keira, what do you want for Christmas?"

"Me? I don't have to."

Yang Ming took Kayla's hand and stuffed her with a delicate box.

. . .

0:00 am.

The time came to October 1978, 12.

Today is already the second day of Christmas.

However, many reporters in Xiangjiang suddenly received news from the Imperial Group, inviting them to attend an important press conference of the Imperial Group.

Late at night?

Imperial Group held a press conference?

This is not the first time.

Like in the past, when Empire Group acquired Wharf, Hutchison Whampoa, and even Jardine Matheson Land, it always chose to do so very late. Did they guess that it was related to the acquisition of a certain company?

Instead of staying at home, many reporters immediately took their own food and drove to the Federal Building in a hurry.

Empire Group and Empire Games now at Federal Building.

Bright lights.

Those reporters came from all over Hong Kong, and some even came from Lan Kwai Fong.

0:30 am.

Imperial Group Conference Room.

on the conference room.

In addition to Mai Lisi, Tang Shilian, Lin Xiuzhi, Wei Li, Ma Shimin and others all appeared here.

Nearly a hundred reporters came.

Others who have not arrived yet are in the process of catching the train.

Because it is the Christmas holiday, many reporters may also be resting. They did not expect that Imperial Group would suddenly hold a press conference.

"I'm sorry for those journalists who haven't come on time. From now on, the Imperial Group's press conference will be officially released tonight."

"Here, on behalf of Imperial Group and Chairman Mr. Yang, I would like to wish everyone a Merry Christmas to the citizens of Xiangjiang and the journalists sitting here."

"In addition, on behalf of Mr. Yang, I will send a Christmas gift to the investors in Xiangjiang."

"Mr. Merrith, what gift does Mr. Yang give you?"

The reporter sitting here immediately asked out of curiosity.

. . .

Melis paused deliberately.

"Next, I will officially announce the press conference regarding Imperial Group's additional purchase of Xiangjiang Electric Lighting Company."

Meilisi said this.

The reporters present were really shocked. It turned out that Imperial Group was really acquiring new companies.

This company is also the Xiangjiang Electric Lighting Company, which currently ranks fourth among the listed companies in Xiangjiang.

"Empire Group has bought 11% of Heung Kong Electric shares in the past six months, Wharf Group has bought 7% of Heung Kong Electric shares, Hutchison Whampoa Group has bought 5% of Heung Kong Electric shares, and Jardine Matheson Land has also bought 5%. These shares add up to 28% of the shares. It has long been the largest shareholder of Xiangjiang Electric Company. In order to protect the interests of the Imperial Group in the Xiangjiang Electric Company, for this reason, the Imperial Group has now officially issued a formal request to all investors of the Xiangjiang Electric Company. Proposed to purchase additional shares to 49%."

"Among them, the stock price of Xiangjiang Electric Light Company on the previous trading day was 5.55 yuan per share. On this basis, additional purchases will be made at a premium of 30%, that is, additional purchases will be made at 7.22 yuan per share."

"It is still necessary to register at the Central Branch of Hutchison Securities Company and the Wanzi Branch of Hutchison Securities Company. The registration time is 1978:12 a.m. on December 26, ."

. . .

Make additional purchases at a premium of 30% of the last transaction price of Xiangjiang Electric Light Company?

Compared with the Imperial Group's acquisition of Wharf, or even Jardine Matheson Land's acquisition of ten times the market value and stock price, this 30% price is indeed not high.

The current acquisition of Heung Kong Electric Lighting Company is completely different from the acquisition of Wharf and Jardine Matheson Land.

"Mr. Yang, is this a Christmas gift for investors in Xiangjiang?"

"Yes, this is Mr. Yang's Christmas gift to the investors of Xiangjiang Electric Lighting Company. Again, I would like to remind the investors of Xiangjiang Electric Lighting Company again that the principle is first come, first served."

Heung Kong Electric Company is currently the fourth-largest listed company in Hong Kong by market value, with a market value of HK$3 billion. Its influence is indeed far behind that of Wharf and Jardine Matheson Land.

Today, the Imperial Group is already the largest shareholder of Heung Kong Electric Light Company. Now it only purchases an additional 21% of the shares to control Heung Kong Electric Light Company.

Compared with the acquisition of Wharf, Hutchison Whampoa, and even Jardine Matheson Land, they are much worse. However, compared to the acquisition of Li's TV Station and Xiangjiang Water Company, their scale is much larger.

The most important thing is that Imperial Group and its affiliated groups have already bought a lot of shares of Xiangjiang Electric Lighting Company, and investors in the market have not yet reacted.

"Tonight's press conference has ended. I wish you all a Merry Christmas again!"

. . .

Some of the reporters held microphones and almost shoved them into Melis. When Weili and others were in front of him, Meris said, "I can give you half an hour for the interview."

Another group of reporters immediately left the Imperial Group conference room and took the elevator away after learning the news.

Not long.

There is news in Xiangjiang that Xiangjiang Electric Lighting Company, the fourth largest listed company in Hong Kong by market value, is going to change tonight.
