Hong Kong's new giants

Lin Zuhui came to the United States again to have a meeting with Harold's team.

"When can CEO Chris Nassetta report?" Lin Zuhui said.

Harold replied: "In a week's time, he will officially take over as the president of Hilton. I have already talked with Bollenbach, and he guarantees that we will complete the perfect contact."

Lin Zuhui nodded and said, "Bollenbach is a talented person. The Hilton Group owes its success to what it is today. It's a pity that he can't join us, otherwise he will be investigated."

Harold said: "Well. In addition to Chris Nassetta's appointment as CEO, we are also planning to recruit senior talents from Marriott and InterContinental to supplement Hilton's professional manager team."

The Hilton Group is about to usher in great development, so it naturally needs talents to join.

Lin Zuhui reminded: "Be careful, don't get into a lawsuit!"

"Ok!"

In the end, Lin Zuhui said: "When the Hilton management team is almost ready, I still have something to explain, so please contact me again!"

"OK, BOSS"

Chapter 651 [I want to fight nine]

When the time entered 1999, Lin Zuhui didn't feel much.

To be honest, he doesn't feel like he's getting older now.

Because although he is 34 years old, he feels that all aspects of his body functions are similar to those in his early 20s, and he is compared with his early 20s.

As someone who had experienced it in his previous life, he obviously felt that after the age of 30, he was not so strong in a certain way.

Therefore, this life is a proper gift from God!

Just imagine, when he is 60 years old, he must still like it, then his body is the greatest wealth;

Even at the age of 80, he will still be so dedicated. If his body can still be very good, wouldn't it be a great wealth.

"I am willing to exchange 99% of my wealth for my youth"

This is a sentence said by "Fourth Uncle" Lee Shau Kee.

Lin Zuhui deeply agrees with this sentence!

New Year's Day.

All overseas members of the Lin family returned to Hong Kong for reunion. Because foreign schools also started winter vacation before Christmas, the seven concubines brought their children back to Hong Kong one after another.This time, Monica also officially returned to Hong Kong with a son and a daughter, because Lin Zuhui officially accepted her as the eighth concubine.

The so-called formality is nothing more than being included in the family office and paying a visit to the main room.

For a long time, Lin Zuhui was also worried that European and American personalities are only suitable for being lovers, so he was worried that Monica would take his children to empathize with others.

But as time went by, Lin Zuhui discovered a problem, all the women he was taller than, unless he dumped others, no woman ever dumped him.

As for planting grass on his head, it is also impossible. Take Monica as an example. Although the two may only meet more than a dozen times a year, the assistants and female bodyguards around her are all family members. It was arranged for her.

If such a thing really happened, it is impossible for Lin Zuhui to have no news. Besides, there is still a child.Of course, Lin Zuhui had such mental preparations, but he never met them.

Due to the large family population, Lin Zuhui chose Shek O Villa for this reunion. The villa here has 10 bedrooms, which is a little more relaxed.

In fact, the Yunfengju villa on the top of the mountain has also been completed. That villa covers an area of ​​more than 4.4 square feet, which is twice the size of the Shek O villa.However, Lin Zuhui plans to move in again at the turn of the century, of course it is still for vacation.

Yunfeng Residence is the top of Taiping Mountain, so standing on the balcony of that villa, you can have a panoramic view of the entire Xiangjiang River, and the scenery is too beautiful to behold.

After being bought by Zhou Xingchi in the previous life, he rebuilt four villas. Naturally, there is no need for such a design in this life. Zhou Xingchi is an investment and he enjoys it.

Therefore, Yunfengju is a villa, and then there are lawns, swimming pools, and gardens, but the villa is relatively large, with three floors and 24 rooms.

As for the houses of the servants and bodyguards, they were built separately.

In Shi'ao Villa, there were 9 women and 19 children (13 sons and 6 daughters), which made the whole villa noisy.

Overseas, Lin Zuhui has always insisted that the family cannot get together, but in Xiangjiang, he is very assured that everyone will get together.

"Oh my god, how did you exercise your figure? You are so protruding, even better than Cai Ning!" Wang Lingyin surrounded Monica and exclaimed.

Monica said in Chinese: "Exercising, I'm not born here. When I was in my 20s, I didn't have such a good figure..."

She described it vividly and added explanations with gestures from time to time. She felt that she was no stranger to this circle at all.Thinking about it carefully, there are many reasons: first, the charm and ability of her own man; second, she served Lin Zuhui with many sisters before; third, these women are all determined, and the overall atmosphere is very good.

Lin Zuhui came to Monica's side and slapped her 'Kardashian-style' waist, and immediately rebounded.

"I like it, haha!" He praised unabashedly.

Monica looked at Lin Zuhui with joy, her eyes were full of charm and affection.

When the girls heard Lin Zuhui's words, they immediately began to check their own phones, and most of them immediately showed disappointed expressions.

Seeing this, Lin Zuhui said: "It's all like this, I don't like it anymore, you should be honest!"

After finishing speaking, he walked behind Li Jiaxin, squeezed it, and said with a smile: "Forget it, it will destroy the beauty!"

Li Jiaxin quickly asked: "Really? I can also practice for you!"

With a serious expression, she is no longer the Li Jiaxin of the past, let alone the Li Jiaxin of the previous life.

"Anyway, listen to me right!"

"Well, Brother Hui!"

Li Jiaxin smiled sweetly, she is still 20 years old!

Lin Zuhui seemed to be at a party, wandering among the women.

Seeing that Wang Zuxian was watching the excitement very peacefully, there was no sense of distance in his eyes, but it was indeed quieter, so he came to Wang Zuxian's side.

"Why, watching a good show?" Lin Zuhui teased deliberately.

"No way! I'm thinking that here and here, I can't live up to it." Wang Zuxian acted like a little girl, holding Lin Zuhui's arm and coquettishly said.

"It's okay! Without you, I wouldn't be able to experience the joy of eating lychees!" Lin Zuhui said with a smile.

He was originally a 'squeamish demon', after all, with such a strong ability, he is definitely a demon.

"It's disgusting, it's so small, look at it!" Wang Zuxian said straight to the point.

After some confirmation, Lin Zuhui said with certainty: "Well, indeed I was wrong, they should be the kings of litchi!"

"Brother Hui" Tai Mei acted like a baby.

After some teasing, Lin Zuhui came to Lin Qingxia who was surrounded by several women.

I saw a few girls chattering and sighing, because Lin Zixia is 44 years old this year, but her overall condition is only in her early 30s, so everyone is very curious.

Lin Zuhui hugged Lin Qingxia directly, and said: "You are all the same, don't worry, ten years younger is the basic situation, and 15 years younger is quite normal. Qingxia is not only ten years younger, but also has a strong demand for that!"

Lin Qingxia counterattacked immediately: "I'm in great demand, why don't you express it more?"

Lin Zuhui choked suddenly, he was asking for trouble!

Of course, he still whispered in Lin Qingxia's ear: "I'll give it to you tonight!"

Lin Qingxia didn't feel shy at all, but said happily: "This is not too bad!"

All the girls actually knew what kind of deal the two of them had reached, and they all thought in their hearts, after all, it was a panacea for eternal youth!

This kind of thing has been proved by the facts that this man's body is a treasure. It seems that this is one of the reasons why everyone has no other thoughts at all even though they have been overseas in the past few years.

Lin Zuhui came to Wang Lingyin's side and said, "Honey, I want to hit nine tonight!"

All the girls looked at Lin Zuhui together, with strange expressions on their faces, either in shock, or shyness, or anticipation.

Wang Lingyin showed a worried look and said, "Your body?"

Lin Zuhui immediately patted his chest and said, "Don't worry, I've been training for a week in advance! Besides, I value my body more than any of you!"

"Then you still ask me, knowing that I will obey you!" Wang Lingyin acted coquettishly not to be outdone.

What about the main room?

She could see very clearly that Lin Zuhui was a man who never knew how to get tired, making money was too easy for him, maybe women were his life.

Therefore, as long as she is the main wife, it doesn't matter how flirtatious her man is!

Chapter 652 [Battle of Xiangjiang Telecom 1]

London, Great East Telegraph Office Headquarters.

Dadong Telegraph is a multinational company with more than 4 employees and operations in more than 70 countries and regions around the world. It holds 54% of Hong Kong Telecom's stock.

Hong Kong Telecom is one of the most important companies under Dadong. Its business includes fixed telephone network and mobile telephone, international telephone, satellite communication, Internet access service and complete telecommunications system.

Judging from the financial statements, Hong Kong Telecom’s market capitalization is around HK$2000 billion, and its earnings are quite stable and healthy (annual profit of just over HK$100 billion). The net assets per share are HK$3.18 (approximately 100 billion shares). The earnings per share have remained constant over the past few years. Around HK$1.

The share price of Hong Kong Telecom has hovered around HK$20 for a long time, that is to say, its price-to-earnings ratio (the so-called price-earnings ratio is the ratio of stock price to annual profit) has been around 20 times for a long time (Hong Kong Telecom shares are more than 20 Hong Kong dollars, and the profit per share is about 1 Hong Kong dollar).

Yuan Tianfan and Liang Botao, the old partners, once again worked together to take charge of the New Era Group's acquisition of Hong Kong Telecom.

The two came to the headquarters of the Dadong Telegraph Bureau. This was their third visit.

For the first time, the board of directors of the Dadong Telegraph Bureau felt very sudden, and was not prepared to sell Hong Kong Telecom, so no results were established;

The second time, the board of directors of the Dadong Telegraph Bureau has been loosened, and the two sides have tentative contacts, but there is no substantive negotiation result;

This is already the third time they have met. Before the two left, the boss told them that if this time, the Dadong Telegraph Bureau still has no obvious willingness to sell, it will temporarily cancel the acquisition plan until the Dadong Telegraph Bureau changes the board of directors. After that, continue to contact.

Therefore, after the two came to the meeting room of the Dadong Telegraph Bureau, they carefully observed the situation.

Yuri, the chairman of the board of directors of the Dadong Telegraph Bureau, brought several directors with him this time, and immediately made the two of them look at each other, knowing that the Dadong Telegraph Bureau might be preparing to sell Hong Kong Telecom.

Of course, this is a huge acquisition, and there are many waves in the middle, and the two dare not take it lightly.

At the beginning of the meeting, Yuri pretended to hesitate and said: "Hong Kong Telecom is an important asset of the Dadong Telegraph Bureau. We have made great efforts to develop Hong Kong Telecom over the years."

Yuan Tianfan and Liang Botao immediately scolded in their hearts. They have made a shitty effort to develop. The reason why Hongkong Telecom is today is because it has the franchise rights of "local calls" and "international calls" in Hong Kong, especially the franchise rights of "international calls". , is the most profitable business.

To be honest, if the franchise of 'international calls' is not about to expire ten years later, Dadong Telegraph and Cable may not choose to sell; because they know that, just like 'local calls' expired in 1995, The Hong Kong government immediately attracted several telecommunications companies to compete, so Hong Kong Telecom will also usher in greater competition in the future.

Yuan Tianfan said seriously: "After all, Hong Kong is just a small place with millions of people, and the development potential of the telecommunications market is very limited. And Hong Kong Telecom's business development in the Mainland has failed, and it has already lacked the 'imagination' of the capital world. Companies without 'imagination' don't have much prospects. In addition, the patent period is approaching, and it is more in their own interest for Dadong Telegraph to cash out, and maybe invest in a more imaginative Internet, and they will earn more!"

There is no way, I have to do ideological work first if I take the initiative to come to the door to buy.

As soon as Yuan Tianfan's words fell, the directors of Dadong Telegraph Bureau all showed expressions of approval.

In the capital market, "imagination" seems to be more important than actual profit. HKT's actual profitability is not bad, but the "imagination" it provides to the capital market is already very limited.In fact, the stock price of Hong Kong Telecom hovering around HK$20 for a long time is the best proof.

In the past, Hong Kong Telecom's status in Hong Kong was equivalent to that of Huaxia Telecom in China, enjoying the exclusive right to operate.This is something that can provide "imagination" for the capital market. Today, this right has been deprived by the Hong Kong government by means of redemption.At present, there are as many as nine companies in Hong Kong with telecom operating licenses. Although Hong Kong Telecom is still the unshakable leader, it will inevitably be under the pressure of competition. In this way, its charm in the capital market will be greatly reduced.

The development potential of the Heung Kong Telecom market is very limited, and the development of mainland telecom business is a visible growth point.In this regard, Hong Kong Telecom has also made a lot of efforts: it successively gave up shares to Zhongtai and Huaxia Telecom, which are listed in Hong Kong. Huaxia Telecom holds about 10% of Hong Kong Telecom’s shares and is its second largest shareholder. Come to their help to open the door to China's telecom market.

However, the tough attitude of Huaxia Telecom's management department did not give Hong Kong Telecom a good result. Without the exclusive franchise and no room for further development, Hong Kong Telecom lost its attractiveness in the capital market.In addition, Dadong is a British company after all. After 1997, there are not many reasons to continue to stay in Hong Kong.

These reasons, in fact, have already begun to think about these reasons in the two previous talks, the board of directors of the Great East Telegraph Bureau.

After thinking for a while, Yuri said, "I can persuade the board of directors to agree to the sale, but what conditions can you give?"

Yes, the first step was successful, Yuan Tianfan and Liang Botao said in their hearts at the same time.

Yuan Tianfan said: "We can purchase the Hong Kong Telecom shares in your hands according to the market value, that is, 22 Hong Kong dollars per share for acquisition, and the payment method is half cash and half stock."

In fact, this is also the result of Lin Zuhui's calculations.Because he guessed that the Hong Kong Hang Seng Index will still increase by at least 26.5% to 2650% this year. Even if Hongkong Telecom stagnates, it will not be a problem to increase by [-]%. That is, the stock price is [-] yuan per share and the market value is more than [-] billion.

As for the stock issue, New Times Group is now three times the market value of Hong Kong Telecom. Even if he pays a part of the stock, his shareholding will not be diluted much.What's more, there are plenty of opportunities to increase holdings.

Yuri said decisively: "We will not accept stocks, and we are also very dissatisfied with your offer!"

Yuan Tianfan said: "It is impossible not to pay for such a large acquisition, so we have to pay half of the stock! As for the price, Hong Kong Telecom's stock price has been like this for a long time, which shows that it has no future in your hands, so Our offer is reasonable."

After a short confrontation between the two sides, neither of them was willing to give in.

Yuri said with a smile: "In this case, please ask your boss for instructions, and then talk to us!"

The implication is that today is over!

In fact, Yuri has already thought of a way, which is to introduce new competitors to increase the purchase price and cash payment ratio.

Of course, Yuri took it for granted. Lin Zuhui thought about it beforehand. There are almost no competitors who can compete with New Era Group.

Singtel?

With a market value of only 2000 billion Hong Kong dollars, how much cash can it produce?

The New Era Group is directly half cash and half stock, and this payment ratio is quite high.

Li Zekai's movement?

Don't be kidding, Yingdong is still a child, and it hasn't even been listed.
