Reborn Capital Madman

After the Second World War, especially in the past two decades, Huifeng has been moving faster and faster in overseas investments in Hong Kong. For example, its latest expansion move was the complete acquisition of London-based James James Securities Company.

, and the most important and grandest expansion move was undoubtedly the complete acquisition of shares of Ocean Mile Bank in the United States with the help of Gao Xian.

However, no matter how smart Huifeng is, it cannot compare with Gao Xian's ability to seize excellent opportunities in the general trend. Even if there is no problem in the general direction of its international expansion, there are still problems in specific aspects such as the degree of stop loss, investment income, return cycle and so on.

There is no "optimal solution" to problems big or small. For example, in the "triangular stool" internationalization strategy, North America's acquisition of Ocean Millennium Bank in the United States was achieved while the other party was on the verge of bankruptcy, and it is still on the verge of bankruptcy.

In a state of blood transfusion, every year Huifeng diverts hundreds of millions of dollars from the surplus of its Xiangjiang headquarters to make up for the deficit of the American Ocean Mile Bank.

To put it bluntly, the Xiangjiang business is Huifeng Bank’s most important, stable and abundant financial source. Without this foundation, its international expansion will be a tree without roots and a joke like water without a source. But this base camp is not like before.

That would be rock-solid, such as the competition from Gao's Banking Group.

In this situation, Huifeng should really cherish and care for his trusted consortium, especially a large consortium like Li Bancheng. It is almost impossible to cultivate such a satisfactory one.

Therefore, when Li Bancheng's request and Shen Bi's lobbying had an effect on Puves, Li Bancheng, who had failed once before in the bid for the local telephone franchise license, obtained the "right to enter the telecommunications industry in Hong Kong" from Huifeng Bank.

Unlimited fire rights." As for the numbers, it depends on how much he dares to borrow and how much Huifeng dares to borrow.

At this time, the Xiangjiang Digital Expressway blueprint drawn by Gao Xian was basically launched. Xiangjiang Dadong Telegraph Company, which had the most entangled interests, cleared various obstacles and announced the release of the reform plan.

In 1968, the Xiangjiang Telephone Company's Xiangjiang local telephone operating license was granted an additional twenty-year franchise effective from 1975.

In 1981, the Xiangjiang International Telecommunications Operating License of Xiangjiang Dadong Telegraph Company was renewed until 2006.

There is nothing much to say about the renewal of the Hong Kong Telephone Company's license, because when it was renewed, the issue of Hong Kong's future had not yet been put on the table, and the license period did not exceed 1997; but the license of the Hong Kong Dadong Telegraph Company

Renewal is a bit complicated. The problem of Hong Kong's future has already emerged in 1981. In particular, the license period of Hong Kong Dadong Telegraph Company has greatly exceeded that of 1997.

Don’t underestimate the sensitivity of the franchise license period crossing the critical point. This involves political governance. For example, in Haojiang, there is a franchise license renewal. Crossing the critical point has led to many things. I won’t list them in detail.

Otherwise, it will be blocked like the previous chapters. Just understand that it is not simple.

Comparatively speaking, the situation of Heung Kong Telephone Company is the simplest. There are still about ten years left in the local telephone franchise period, and it is not difficult to evaluate the value and compromise. At worst, the Gao Group's interests in Heung Kong Telephone Company are at stake.

To show my integrity, when I seized control of the Dadong Telegraph Group, I used the current popular method on Wall Street. After the acquisition was successful, I split it up and sold it off. The actual acquisition cost was unexpectedly low.

The situation of Hong Kong Tai Tung Telegraph Company is much more complicated. On the surface, the reason is that the remaining period of the international telecommunications license is about twenty years. In addition to international telecommunications, its business is also responsible for the installation of radar and navigation instruments, Kai Tak Airport communications

It is not easy to evaluate the value of services, TV program signal transmission, etc., but if the Exchange Fund Administration pays too much, it will definitely lead to criticism of conveying benefits.

In reality, if you think about it carefully, you can guess the sensitivity of international telecommunications. It involves politics, military, intelligence, etc. You know best what the ghost guys have done. Furthermore, they have no idea about the so-called security of international telecommunications.

Have their own "aesthetic" requirements.

In an environment like Xiangjiang, where the temple is small and the atmosphere is windy, if you want to accomplish major things that touch such interests, you don't have the courage and wisdom to accomplish it.

The idea given by Sir Gao is to separate the backbone lines of the hardware network of the Xiangjiang telecommunications industry and establish the Xiangjiang Communication Network Company; the newly merged Xiangjiang Telecommunications Company, as well as the newly obtained telecommunications companies with operating licenses, will lease from the Xiangjiang Communication Network Company

Backbone network, operating local calls, international long distance and other services.

The goal of Hong Kong Communications Network Company is to provide Hong Kong with the world's leading backbone communications network. In its equity structure, the Hong Kong Development Investment Fund under the Hong Kong Exchange Fund Authority holds 45% of the shares, and the Hong Kong government holds 100%.

Ten percent, and the other 45% will accept investment from locally registered companies in Xiangjiang, but it cannot be less than 1%. The implication is to avoid being a rotten fish who doesn’t want to spend more money but wants to show off.

Shrimp, mix in.

In addition, the pattern of Heung Kong Communications Network Company dominating the backbone network in Hong Kong is not static, but has a preliminary period of twenty years. It is somewhat similar to the bot model adopted by Hong Kong in the construction of large-scale projects such as the Hung Hom Cross-Harbour Tunnel, that is, construction-operation-operation.

Handover mode.

The idea here is not difficult to understand. The construction of the Hong Kong backbone communication network required by the Hong Kong International Digital Center will cost a lot and the payback period will be long. It may span 1997. The Hong Kong government is unable to bear it alone. It manages a large amount of Hong Kong foreign exchange.

Sir Gao, who has a surplus in the fund, is willing to invest and set aside a considerable share to give outsiders the opportunity to participate.

After a series of debates, including in the Legislative Council, the reform of the Xiangjiang Dadong Telegraph Company was recognized by all parties. At this point, the blueprint for the Xiangjiang Digital Expressway became clear.

When the news was officially revealed, it once again reflected Sir Gao's "exquisite knife skills" in cutting cakes, and was highly praised by the outside world.

The reaction of the common people is the most direct. Who said that the Xiangjiang Exchange Fund, managed by Sir Gao, has entered the top ten in the world, and it has nothing to do with us. Installation fees, phone calls, especially international long distances, will be cheaper. Isn’t this just giving out welfare?

The consortium that intends to enter the telecommunications industry in Xiangjiang is becoming more and more interested. They do not need to build a backbone network, and the costs are suddenly reduced. However, they are also dissatisfied, that is, the number of new licenses is too small. If there is not enough money, it will be very difficult.

It's hard to get.

As for those forces that have other concerns about the control of Xiangjiang Communication Network, there is no need to jump out and express their stance. If they do not accept it, the name of Xiangjiang Communication Network Company will not appear.

It is not difficult to imagine that the competition has begun for the 45% shares of Xiangjiang Communication Network Company that received external investment.

In the eyes of interested people, many "strong" new companies suddenly emerged in Xiangjiang, bidding for no less than 1% of the shares of Xiangjiang Communication Network Company. The reason why they are described as "strong" is very simple. If you can't come up with at least 300 million, I'm sorry, please stand outside and close the door.

The newly listed Xiangjiang Telecommunications Company responded the fastest. On the first day when the name of Xiangjiang Telecommunications Network Company came up, it stated that it wanted to obtain at least 10% of the shares. It is not difficult to guess the motivation behind this. Currently, the largest telecommunications operator in Hong Kong must have sufficient say on the line.

Li Bancheng, who has been paying attention to the continuous changes in the telecommunications industry in Hong Kong, happily slapped his thigh after receiving the news. Thanks to the agreement he reached with Huifeng, the transfer and liquidation of line assets between Hong Kong Telecom and Hong Kong Communications Network Company should not be so fast. If you do it, you will inevitably have some first-mover advantage. If you don't prepare two or three billion in cash, you won't be confident enough to participate in such a game.

At this time, Shen Bi had officially retired and returned to the UK. The new Huifeng Dabanpu Weishi did not change his orders day and night. After meeting with Li Bancheng, he made a decision on the spot and stated that Huifeng would give as much money as Li Sheng asked for, as long as you can win this battle. , occupying sufficient control over the major changes in Xiangjiang's telecommunications industry driven by Gao Xian.

Li Bancheng smiled confidently and said: "We also want at least 10% of the shares of Xiangjiang Communications Network Company. After mastering this bargaining chip, it will be much easier to obtain all the telecommunications licenses."

If Sir Gao were sitting across from Li Bancheng and Puves at this time, he would definitely be amused. The newly established Xiangjiang Telecom Company will lead Hutchison Telecom by the nose in new business, attracting you to constantly Even if the money is invested, the rewards will eventually be received in the Internet boom of the 1990s, but Huifeng has to survive until then.
