Chapter 162 Three must-acquire companies
Looking at the list in his hand, Chen Yi couldn't help but see some familiar names.
Before Chen Yi explained that when Yu Min chose to invest in companies, he made many restrictions, such as companies with potential, high profitability, and good operations, which must be invested in.
At this stage, many well-run companies are affected by the general environment, causing their stock prices to fall. This is a good opportunity to pick up bargains, and naturally they cannot be missed.
In addition, there are British-funded enterprises with many high-quality resources, such as Hutchison and Wheelock, one of the four major foreign companies. Due to poor management, the profit is very low, and the market value of the company is lower than the actual value. This kind of company is also Chen Yi's preferred target for investment.
After a few years, when the British capital is about to withdraw from Xiangjiang, then by virtue of holding the shares of these British-funded enterprises, he will be able to get close to the water first.
The first two categories are mainly for making money, and the last category is to enhance personal influence and invest in companies that have a greater impact on society and people's livelihood.
After Chen Yi finalized a series of requirements, he handed over to his subordinates to do the work. Now, it seems that Yu Min has selected several companies that he is very satisfied with according to his requirements.
Chen Yi's satisfaction standard is very simple, that is, the company he was familiar with in the previous life, and the company name that can generally be written in the novel must have great potential and development.
It is far more useful for him to pick up a few stars than to pick up a few stars. No matter how valuable a star is these days, it is not greater than capital.
Even decades later, most celebrities are still manipulated by capital, and there are only a handful of celebrities who can jump out of the capital circle.
"Boss, according to everyone's discussion, besides Wharf and Golden Gate Construction, there are three other companies here. We can try to acquire them wholly, and at worst we must take absolute control."
Chen Yi looked at the list of the first three companies, and found that the names of the three companies were all familiar to him in his previous life, so he asked, "Do you mean the first three companies?"
"That's right." Yu Min nodded and continued: "Hong Kong Electric, Xiangjiang Telephone, and Kowloon Bus, these three companies are involved in electricity consumption, communication, and public travel, and have a great impact on ordinary people. And the acquisition can greatly enhance your personal influence as the boss.
According to the information provided by HSBC and several service companies, the three companies are currently operating well and their revenues are also very stable. After we acquire them, we don’t need to spend too much effort to integrate the three companies. "
"Of course, the most important point is that the stock prices of the three companies have fallen very severely due to the impact of the stock market crash and the oil crisis, which is very suitable for us to pick up leaks."
"Hush?" Chen Yi frowned when he heard the words, and asked in doubt: "Since the three companies are operating well and their revenues are stable, is there any other reason for their stock price decline besides the impact of the general environment?"
It is undeniable that the current environment is very bad, but no matter how bad the environment is, as long as the listed companies have stable revenue and good operations, the stock price will not fall too much.
Seeing the question from Boss Chen Da, Yu Min quickly explained: "Among the three companies, except for Hongkong Telephone, which has a major shareholder of Dadong Telegraph and Telegraph, the shares of the other two, Hong Kong Electric and Kowloon Bus, are very scattered.
Affected by the general environment, the stocks of Hong Kong Electric and Kowloon Bus were sold off in the market. Since the two companies did not have major shareholders to repurchase shares, the stock prices of Hong Kong Electric and Kowloon Bus fell very sharply. "
Hearing this, Chen Yi finally understood that the three emotional companies either don't have major shareholders behind them, or their major shareholders are planning to transfer their shares.
The three companies are all related to people's livelihood, and their revenue is also stable. The most important thing is that they are in line with his wishes.
Take Hong Kong Electric as an example. Hong Kong Electric was established in 1888 and has been providing power transmission for the city of Hong Kong since the end of the 19th century.
As one of the earliest cities in Asia with electricity supply, Hong Kong Electric’s development is inseparable from the contribution of Hong Kong Electric. Today, there are three major regions in Hong Kong (Xiangjiang Island, Kowloon, and New Territories), and the most prosperous Hong Kong Island is supplied by Hong Kong Electric. Responsible.
Since humans entered the industrial age, electricity has become the most important foundation of a city. People cannot do without electricity in their daily lives, industrial machines cannot operate without electricity, and trams running on the streets cannot do without electricity...
The importance of Hong Kong Electric is self-evident. If Hong Kong Electric can be won, then for Chen Yi, his influence and status in Hong Kong society can be greatly enhanced.
Kowloon Bus, Kowloon Bus was established in 1933 by several well-known Chinese businessmen Tang Zhaojian, Lei Ruide, Lei Liang, Tan Huantang and Lin Mingxun.
In 1932, in order to reorganize the public transport services in Xiangjiang, the Governor-General of Xiangjiang specially granted two bus service patents - Xiangjiang Island and Kowloon/New Territories.
The bus service patent right for Xiangjiang Island is obtained by Zhonghua Bus, and the bus service patent right for Kowloon and the New Territories is obtained by Kowloon Bus. The two major bus companies directly monopolize the entire Xiangjiang bus service industry.
The acquisition of Kowloon Bus will gain a certain advantage in the future development of the New Territories. Wanda Plaza can be called the center of the city in later generations, not because of the convenient transportation.
With the Kowloon Bus in hand, even remote places can be turned into golden sanctuaries with convenient transportation.
If you want to get rich, build roads first.
After the road is repaired, there must be vehicles to pass through.
Kowloon Bus may not be as profitable as Hong Kong Electric, but it can definitely play a very large auxiliary role, especially in real estate development, where transportation determines its sexual value.
Finally, Xiangjiang Telephone Company, as the only telephone company in Xiangjiang at present, belongs to the dominant company in Xiangjiang’s communication industry. In the words of later generations, Xiangjiang Telephone Company is equal to the combination of the three major communication companies of Inland Mobile, China Unicom and China Telecom .
Let's not talk about whether the current development of Xiangjiang Telephone Company is good or bad, and how scary the future development of the communication industry is. Chen Yi, as a posterity, knows it all.
Just this year, the legendary first-generation mobile phone mobile phone has been produced by the famous Motorola and entered the trial stage.
In the future 2G3G4G5G era, whether he can seize the opportunity depends on whether he can win the Xiangjiang Telephone Company from the Dadong Telegraph Bureau.
As long as the Xiangjiang Telephone Company is won, Chen Yi can use it to contact Motorola and reach a strategic cooperation with it, and then take advantage of Motorola's rise to lay the foundation in one fell swoop, and even soar into the sky.
