Chapter 185 Be a rich boy?
The Peninsula Hotel
Shen Bi asked Chen Yi to come here today, mainly to talk about the acquisition of Xiangjiang Telephone Company.
Yes, that's right, almost two months later, HSBC still failed to help Chen Yi win the Xiangjiang Telephone Company, and this time, Boss Chen had to come in person.
Originally thought that Dadong Telegraph and Telegraph intended to sell Heung Kong Electric Company. This company should be the easiest of the three (Kowloon Bus, Hong Kong Electric, and Heung Kong Telephone).
But I never thought that HSBC had been talking with the other party for so long, but there was still no progress. The Dadong Telegraph Bureau seemed to be deliberately delaying time.
If he didn't know the future development of the communication industry, and besides Xiangjiang Telephone Company, he couldn't find another telephone company for him to buy, Chen Yi would not bother to continue to deal with Dadong Telegraph.
Nowadays, the most ostentatious person traveling in the Xiangjiang area is Boss Chen. His iconic limousine fleet will attract passersby to watch as soon as he hits the street.
As Boss Chen's motorcade arrived at the Peninsula Hotel, the lobby manager of the Peninsula Hotel was already standing at the door to welcome him.
A month ago, Chen Yi bought part of the shares of The Peninsula Hotel, and now he has become the largest individual shareholder of this famous hotel. As for the real major shareholder of The Peninsula Hotel, it is the well-known Kadoorie family.
In any case, he is now half the owner of the Peninsula Hotel, and he has great privileges here.
In a presidential suite, Chen Yi met today's master, a blonde middle-aged lady.
"Sorry for keeping you two waiting."
When Shen Bi saw Chen Yi coming, he got up to greet him, and said with a smile, "We arrived first. Come, Chen Sheng, let me introduce you. This is Ms. Hailu, the president of Xiangjiang Telephone Company, and also a member of the Dadong Telegraph Bureau. Regional Head for Asia."
Chen Yi stretched out his hand and said with a smile, "Hello, Ms. Hailu."
"Hello, Mr. Chen" Ms. Hai Lu extended her hand and shook it politely, feeling a little surprised at Chen Yi's age.
Although Shen Bi had revealed a little bit of information when she came, and she had made some psychological preparations, she still couldn't help being surprised when she actually met Chen Yi face to face.
Although she seldom pays attention to things other than work on weekdays, Chen Yi has been in the limelight last year. He is a proper man of the hour, coupled with his youthful characteristics, he has always attracted the attention of many people.
Before, HSBC Bank had been unwilling to disclose the buyer behind the scenes. Thinking of the series of big moves of HSBC Bank during this period, Ms. Hailu looked at Chen Yi with a little more curiosity.
After exchanging a few pleasantries, the three of them sat down one after another.
Ms. Hai Lu said: "I never thought it was Chen Sheng before, and I hope Chen Sheng will not blame him."
Ms. Hailu said this, referring to the fact that she forced Shen Bi to meet Chen Yi. The Dadong Telegraph Bureau has been unwilling to let go, and she played an important role in it.
Chen Yi was speechless. He wanted to blame him, but could the business continue in that way?
As the saying goes, it’s good, but villains and girls are hard to raise!
There is no distinction between Eastern women and Western women.
"If your company has no idea of selling Xiangjiang Telephone Company, then there is no need to continue wasting everyone's time."
"Chen Sheng, please rest assured. Regarding the sale of Xiangjiang Telephone Company, the head office has already made a decision. Chen Sheng does not need to doubt this."
"However, the head office considers that the acquisition of Xiangjiang Telephone Company may affect the company's business development in Asia, so it hopes to reach several acquisition agreements with Chen Sheng."
Chen Yi: "Ms. Hailu, please speak."
Ms. Hailu nodded and said: "As for the shareholding ratio of Xiangjiang Telephone Company, the head office hopes to retain 20% of the shares."
'Press? ’ Chen Yi turned his head and looked at Shen Bi who was beside him, ‘Didn’t it be agreed to keep only 10%? How did you become twenty? '
Seeing Shen Bi's embarrassed smile, Chen Yi shook his head, and didn't bother with it. Anyway, no matter 10% or 20%, it doesn't affect his control of Xiangjiang Telephone Company.
"Miss Hailu, please continue."
"About the proportion of shares, this will not affect Chen Sheng's acquisition of Xiangjiang Telephone Company. If Chen Sheng wants to delist Xiangjiang Telephone Company from the exchange, the head office will fully cooperate."
"However, Chen Sheng needs to ensure that after the acquisition of Xiangjiang Telephone Company, he can continue to maintain the cooperative relationship with the Dadong Telegraph Bureau."
"Ms. Hailu, please rest assured that the cooperation between Xiangjiang Telephone Company and Dadong Telegraph Bureau will not change now or in the future. I can guarantee this."
"Finally, the head office hopes that after Chen Sheng acquires Xiangjiang Telephone Company, he can ensure that the positions of the British senior management personnel in office will not change, so that they can continue to serve the company."
When Chen Yi heard the last item, his expression finally changed.
The position of the British high-level personnel remains the same, and they continue to serve the company. Nima, after a long time of work, besides buying the status of a major shareholder, the co-author didn't take advantage of any other benefits?
What is the difference between this and the boy who gave away money?
Moreover, as far as he knows, the current situation of Xiangjiang Telephone Company is inseparable from those British executives.
You must know that Xiangjiang Telephone Company is located in the Xiangjiang area, but it is in an absolute monopoly position. It is ridiculous to say that a monopoly industry does not make money.
Many multinational groups in later generations, when they expanded, basically moved towards localization, from top managers to bottom-level employees, most of them achieved localization.
This is a development trend of future business, and Xiangjiang Telephone Company is located in Xiangjiang, so the people who use it must be Chinese.
Seeing that Chen Yi kept a dark face and remained silent, Ms. Hai Lu and Shen Bi did not bother her. The former did not speak, mainly because some private goods were mixed in her conditions, mainly the last one.
Among the three conditions, except for the second one to maintain the current cooperative relationship between the two parties, the other two Dadong Telegraph Bureaus can be negotiated, and it is not necessarily a condition for the acquisition.
As for the latter, for Shen Bi, HSBC has always only contributed money to buy shares, and has never cared who the manager of the company is. As long as the other party can maintain the cooperative relationship with HSBC, then HSBC will not intervene even if it is a pig.
This can be seen from HSBC’s support for Li Chaoren’s entry into Hutchison Whampoa in the previous life. Superman enters Hutchison Whampoa Drama.
HSBC Bank is only responsible for helping Chen Yi acquire Xiangjiang Telephone Company. As for other matters, any requests made by the Dadong Telegraph Bureau have nothing to do with HSBC Bank.
