Chapter 570: Calling for help

Just after 9:30, Superboy rushed to Jiuye Investment first.

After meeting and greeting, Yao Yuan brought him into the office and discussed things while drinking tea.

After chatting for a while, Superboy took the initiative to talk about the purpose of his visit.

"Sheng Yao, we at PCCW are preparing to enter the telecommunications network market in Southeast Asian countries such as Singapore and European countries such as Ireland."

“If you want to enter the telecommunications network market in these countries, you must launch a series of mergers and acquisitions, and the targets of mergers and acquisitions are local telecommunications network service providers.”

"But now that the international financial market is in turmoil, is it appropriate to launch large-scale mergers and acquisitions at this time? I have doubts!"

"You are the famous god of investment. You have a very good understanding of the international financial market. You can see it more clearly and thoroughly than we laymen!"

"So I would like to ask you for advice. Is it appropriate to launch a merger and acquisition under the current circumstances?"

Listening to this introduction, a smile quickly flashed in Yao Yuan's eyes.

He instantly understood that Superboy was here to inquire about the situation on his father's behalf.

The one that really wants to launch mergers and acquisitions in Southeast Asia and European countries is his father's Hutchison Whampoa, not PCCW!

Today's PCCW does not have such strength.

This is not the case with Li Chaoren's Hutchison Whampoa. Hutchison Whampoa is one of the largest listed companies on Hong Kong Island and has outstanding strength.

In fact, Hutchison Whampoa has long been deploying telecommunications network markets in Europe and Southeast Asia, and has already won telecommunications licenses from many European and Southeast Asian countries.

Later, Hutchison Whampoa's telecom companies won telecom licenses from more than a dozen countries, and even became the largest telecom network service provider in many European countries!

As for PCCW, the follow-up expansion operations did not go smoothly, and even caused the stock price to drop steadily, and its glory was no longer good!

However, PCCW has always been the largest telecommunications network service provider in Hong Kong and Macao.

This is what Yao Yuan values ​​most, and it is also the fundamental reason why he wants to invest in PCCW.

When it comes to acquiring shares of PCCW, he doesn't care at all whether he makes money or not. What's most important is that he has some say in the telecommunications network market on Hong Kong Island!

Of course, it’s better to make money!

Because Superboy and Yao Yuan have a good relationship, they are both friends and partners.

Because of this, Li Chao asked his youngest son to come over to inquire about the situation so as to provide reference for decision-making.

Although Yao Yuan is aware of this, he does not intend to point it out.

The next moment, he smiled and shook his head.

"Li Sheng, judging from the situation in the international financial market, now is not a good time to initiate large-scale mergers and acquisitions."

"The reason is simple. A financial tsunami with staggering destructive power and affecting all countries and regions around the world is coming soon!"

"Ah! A financial tsunami sweeping the world, did I hear it correctly?"

Superboy was startled, and his expression became much more solemn.

Yao Yuan nodded and continued to introduce the situation.

"You heard it right, this financial tsunami originating from the subprime mortgage market in beautiful countries has taken shape and is about to sweep across the world, causing unprecedented huge losses."

"The telecommunications network operators in Southeast Asia and Europe that PCCW wants to acquire will also be greatly affected, with their stock prices plummeting and even going bankrupt."

"If PCCW launches mergers and acquisitions at this time, it will inevitably pay a lot of unnecessary costs. I suggest that we launch mergers and acquisitions in the second half of next year."

"By then, the stock prices of these merger and acquisition targets will be at least half, or even more, lower than they are now, and it will be the most cost-effective time to launch mergers and acquisitions..."

Next, Yao Yuan briefly introduced the situation of the international financial market.

Considering that he wanted to acquire part of PCCW's equity, he did not hide it and told Superboy the prediction of the financial crisis bluntly!

As he introduced, Superboy's expression became more and more solemn.

After Yao Yuan finished his introduction, he thought silently for a moment, and then said in a deep voice:

"Since the financial tsunami sweeping the world is inevitable, it is really not appropriate to launch any mergers and acquisitions now, because the cost is too high!"

“When the financial crisis develops to a later stage, it is obviously more appropriate for us to enter the market and hunt for the bottom, and we can make more money!”

“Not only that, we must also make some preparations to face this shocking financial crisis, lest we lose our own protection!”

Yao Yuan nodded and continued:

"Yes, what PCCW needs to do now is to improve itself, rather than launch large-scale mergers and acquisitions!"

"When the time comes, it will not be too late to launch mergers and acquisitions, and it will be more cost-effective."

"Let's discuss Jiuye Investment's investment in PCCW. I want to know how much equity Jiuye Investment can acquire in PCCW?"

Superboy paused for a moment, then spoke to him.

"Yao Sheng, didn't you say that now is not a good time to start mergers and acquisitions? Why would Jiuye Investment invest in PCCW at this time?"

The next moment, Yao Yuan gave the answer.

"The reason is actually very simple. Jiuye Investment is one of the largest short sellers in the international financial market."

"This financial crisis sweeping the world is a disaster for others, but it is a God-given opportunity to make a fortune for Jiuye Investment."

"Our acquisition of part of PCCW's equity at this time will not have any adverse impact on the company."

"On the contrary, it will help stabilize PCCW's stock price and allow PCCW to successfully weather the financial crisis. This is a win-win deal!"

Looking at Yao Yuan who was full of confidence, Superboy couldn't help but feel a little dazed.

He knew in his heart that Yao Yuan was absolutely right.

Once Jiuye Investment invests heavily in PCCW, it will definitely detonate PCCW's stock price, causing the company's stock price to rise rapidly, or even double directly!

In this way, not only will his net worth skyrocket, PCCW will also become much more calm and have more room to face the upcoming financial crisis.

Thinking of this, Superboy suddenly knew what to do.

The next moment, he smiled and nodded.

"Since Mr. Yao is so confident and willing to invest in PCCW, I certainly welcome it."

"PCCW can transfer part of its shares to Jiuye Investment at a premium of 20% based on the current market price, and the upper limit cannot exceed 10% of the equity!"

"One more thing, this part of the equity purchased by Jiuye Investment needs to sign a concerted action agreement with me."

"Of course, I will protect the shareholders' rights of Jiuye Investment. Yao Sheng can send an executive director to join the company's board of directors to exercise shareholder rights!"

Without any hesitation, Yao Yuan nodded quickly and said:

"That's great, Li Sheng. I accept your terms and purchase 20% of PCCW's equity at a premium of 10%."

"On the premise of not harming the rights and interests of Jiuye Investment Group, I can sign the concerted action agreement..."

In the blink of an eye, it was already around 11:15 in the morning.

In the company's conference room No. 1.

Yao Yuan, Mr. Zhou and others were sitting on one side of the conference table and were having talks with Mr. Ren of the Hong Kong Monetary Authority and the Chairman of the Hong Kong Stock Exchange opposite.

Also in the conference room was Superboy.

But he was only a spectator and did not participate in the talks.

After sitting down and exchanging a few polite words, the Chairman of the Hong Kong Stock Exchange couldn't wait to explain his purpose of visit.

"Yao Sheng, you must be very familiar with the situation in the international financial market and the trend of Hong Kong stocks these days!"

"I would like to ask, what do you think of the situation in the international financial market? When will the situation of Hong Kong stocks falling constantly change?"

"Jiuye Investment holds trillions of Hong Kong dollars in capital. For the sake of stabilizing the Hong Kong stock market, we hope that Jiuye Investment can enter the Hong Kong stock market as soon as possible."

"Inject more funds into the Hong Kong stock market, bring more vitality, and avoid further decline in the Hong Kong stock market!"

as predicted!

These Hong Kong financial tycoons couldn't stand it any longer and came to ask for help!

Yao Yuan thought to himself, a smile flashed in his eyes.
