Chapter 517: Successful Acquisition
"Yeah? What are you doing... I'm about to call you!"
Zhang Qing and Zhou Yanyan just walked in carrying a big cake. They felt that the atmosphere was very stiff. When they saw Qiao Yue, Sun Xin, Kong Li, and Cao Qiang, they were startled and almost had a problem.
Especially when I saw the girl following Cao Qiang, she was very tall, at least 1.75 meters tall. Although her appearance was ordinary, she looked quite capable.
Zhang Qing's head is as big as a bucket. This is Cao Qiang's sister, Cao Hui, who is on a blind date with Li Zijun.
Qiao Yue sneered, but before she could speak, she saw Zhang Qing's stern eyes looking over her, and she still closed her mouth after her words reached her throat.
Zhang Qing saw Li Zijun's eyes pleading for help and laughed angrily: "Zijun, a man, just speak clearly and speak openly. It will be beneficial to everyone. We are not outsiders. The more you delay and cover up, the worse it will be for everyone."
The damage is great."
Li Zijun's face was stiff. He looked at Zhang Qing for a while, nodded, and slowly stood up. His eyes gradually became firmer. The look he looked down at Xiao Wei next to him was so gentle that Xiao Wei's heart melted.
However, before he spoke, Xiao Wei suddenly stood up and said to Zhang Qing: "Boss, today you celebrate my birthday. As a member of your charity foundation, you have to speak responsibly. Zijun and I... Zijun and I,
We are just good friends, what harm can he do to me?"
Everyone was shocked. Qiao Yue, Cao Qiang and others looked at the girl with emotion.
Is this going to be a break?
Li Zijun's entire face was distorted, and it was obvious that he was in extreme pain.
Especially when he watched Xiao Wei leave from him and walk towards Zhang Qing step by step...
"Xiaowei..."
His throat felt as if he had swallowed a piece of live coal, it hurt so much, but his eyes were blurry.
It's not that he lacks courage, or that he doesn't want to part with glory and wealth, but his mother's pain and tears are what prevent him from abandoning everything and running away with his sweetheart.
Life is worse than death. When they fall on the paper, they are just four ordinary words, floating lightly.
But at this moment, Li Zijun's whole body was about to burst.
This is life, not as good as death.
Seeing him like this, several other friends, including Qiao Yue, Sun Xin and even Cao Qiang, couldn't bear it.
But I think this is the best way...
It should be cut off!
However, before Xiao Wei's cold body could walk away, Cao Hui suddenly smiled and said: "Actually, it doesn't have to be like this."
"Um?!"
Everyone looked at the little princess of the Cao family.
Cao Qiang shouted: "What did you say?"
He was afraid that his sister would be naive and soft-hearted at this time.
Cao Hui shrugged and said, "I also have people I like."
"Shut up!
"
Cao Qiang is going crazy, why are he still planning to play his own games?
Qiao Yue also gave Cao Hui a hand, glared and said, "Do you believe that your mother knew she would slap her in the face?"
Kong Li threatened: "Do you believe that the Li family and the Cao family made that person disappear together?"
Cao Hui shrugged and said, "But she is a girl."
"..."
A group of people have question marks on their foreheads.
What the hell?
Zhang Qing looked at Cao Hui in surprise and found that her outfit was really androgynous, even her hair was short.
Leather boots, jeans.
There is nothing feminine about her body...
Cao Hui looked at her brother and said: "To be honest, I have been called a tomboy since I was a child, but later I found out that I really like looking at girls. On the contrary, when I look at men, I feel like they are like cow dung. Brother, you won't help me either."
Do you want me to be happy? It’s good like this right now. Everyone has their own lives. Xiao Wei and my wife will suffer a bit and work as nannies at home. The family of four is harmonious and beautiful.”
"Pfft!"
Qiao Yue almost died laughing!
Li Zijun had always felt that Cao Hui was the calamity in his life, a stone mountain that would make him loveless for the rest of his life, and she was more masculine than him...
Unexpectedly, she is actually more manly than him!
At this moment, Cao Hui was more pleasing to the eye than ever before!
Zhang Qing looked at the dumbfounded Zhou Yanyan and said with a smile: "This is how big the world is, and there are all kinds of wonders."
Cao Hui was dissatisfied: "I'm not a weirdo, what's wrong with women liking women? In ancient times, men would divide a peach among themselves, cut off their sleeves, and pride themselves on being elegant. Can't I like girls?"
In the face of "big right and wrong", the girls united decisively: "Xiaohui, good job!"
Li Zijun also excitedly rebelled against the men's team: "Xiaohui, I support you!"
Zhang Qing couldn't help but laugh: "Of course you support it. There are four people in the family, and you are the only man. But it's best to keep this matter a secret. I won't talk about anything else today. Let's celebrate Sister Xiaowei's birthday first.
Sister Xiaowei, don’t cry, it’s a good thing and a victory.”
Qiao Yue slapped him with an angry smile and said, "Don't quote randomly!"
Zhou Yanyan looked at this person, then turned around and stood between Qiao Yue and Zhang Qing.
Qiao Yue: "..."
Zhang Qing chuckled: "Be careful, you can't defeat me in a one-on-one fight."
Zhou Yanyan laughed happily, and then said to Qiao Yue very straightforwardly: "Juanzi said, you can be friends, you can be good friends, no more. Think about it from her perspective, she is already very generous, isn't she?
?”
Qiao Yue stared at Zhou Yanyan expressionlessly. Zhou Yanyan was so scared that she looked at her with a smile.
The attention on the court was successfully transferred from Li Zijun, Xiao Wei, and Cao Hui...
Qiao Yue suddenly smiled brightly, her charming eyes narrowed to a slit, her whole face looked like the white fox concubine from a thousand years ago, and said: "What a coincidence, Zhang Qing and I are good friends!"
Zhang Qing ignored all this and said to Li Zijun: "Sing, sing, why don't you ask me to write a song for you? Fortunately, I wrote a festive song, which is suitable for today."
Li Zijun was overjoyed after being devastated. His emotions were agitated and he was not ashamed at all. He also thought of repaying Zhang Qing's rescue. He picked up the remote control of the karaoke station and pressed it a few times. He looked at Xiao Wei who was still sobbing and said:
"This is the song I begged Qingzi for three days and wouldn't leave, so I begged him to write it. It was written specifically for you..."
"There was a beautiful little girl
Her name is Xiaowei
She has gentle eyes
She quietly stole my heart
…”
Xiao Wei was naturally moved beyond words. On the other side, Qiao Yue had already sat down again.
Sun Xin looked unhappy and whispered: "Shall we go?"
Qiao Yue sneered and said, "Why should I leave?"
Kong Li whispered: "If it weren't for Zhang Qing, you would have a hundred ways to do it. But with Zhang Qing here, you can't do anything. It's all for nothing. Don't you want to lose face?"
Qiao Yue rolled her eyes: "If you leave at this time, you will lose face? Doesn't it mean that you can be good friends? Hehe, then be good friends! Let's not argue today. Let's celebrate Zijun first, and then we can argue later."
She will be a fool in the future, but now she is just trying to keep her mouth shut, feeling half angry to death.
There is no one who is good-looking and easy to get along with...
This Zhou Yanyan is actually Qi Juan’s puppy legs!
…
December 1st.
Hong Kong Island, Peninsula Hotel.
In the conference room, Zhang Qing looked blank and looked at the information in his hands. Sitting next to him were Zhao Qiang, CFO Zhou Enyi and Du Juan's legal team.
In the middle is Michael Rosenberg, the conference mediator.
Opposite, there is a group of British people. They are James Campbell, the chairman of Dadong Cable and Telegraph Company, the parent company of Hong Kong Island Telecommunications, and Jin Chunlai, the first Chinese president of Hong Kong Island Telecommunications.
Zhang Qingtan said: "Dadong Telegraph Bureau has a history of 127 years. Since its founder John Pendry founded it in 1872, this British-owned company has played an important role in global telecommunications.
Role. In 1936, the telecommunications service on Hong Kong Island was launched. Today, it has a history of more than 60 years."
James Campbell is an old man in his sixties. He looked at the enviable young man opposite who was also rich and young, and smiled and said: "Yes, Dadong Telegraph Bureau is a great company.
, the same is true for Island Telecom. Zhang, you are a child kissed by God. I like you and like lucky people. However, you have no experience in running a telecommunications company, so I still think that Island Telecom is sold to Singapore.
Telecommunications companies are more suitable.”
Zhang Qingping said: "There is no need to discuss this issue further. Just like British Telecom cannot be sold to me, Hong Kong Telecom, as a people's livelihood company in Hong Kong Island, China, cannot be sold to foreign capital. On this point, I think Campbell
Sir, you can understand. Today is a very important negotiation, and it is about the price of Hong Kong Island Telecom."
James narrowed his eyes, looked at Zhang Qing, crossed his fingers in front of him, and said calmly: "Wow, you are as tough as your mainland yamen, which is a bit rude..."
Zhang Qing smiled and said: "According to the regulations of the operating license issued by Hong Kong Island on October 1, 1981, Hong Kong Island Telecom has the exclusive right to operate for 25 years to provide international telecommunications systems for Hong Kong Island. To
This year, eighteen years have passed. Why Taitung Cable and Telegraph Company chose to sell Hong Kong Telecom at this time? The reason is very simple. Selling at this time is the most suitable time and the value is the highest. Every year after that, even
Every month that passes, the valuation drops by more than $10 million.
Mr. Campbell, I can wait until three to five years later, or even seven years later, to negotiate. At that time, the price will not be more than one-fifth of the current offer. I am still young and can wait.
But I can tell you clearly that it is impossible for Hong Kong Island Telecom to be sold to Singtel or any foreign company."
James said coldly: "You are not the only one who is qualified to acquire Hong Kong Island."
Zhang Qing chuckled and said, "You can go and ask if any of the companies that I, Zhang Qing, want to buy, dare to lend a hand."
It's not because of his official background, but because of his immense strength.
If he wants to attack any company in the stock market, there are really few people who can defeat him...
Rosenberg smiled and said: "James, business is business, don't mix too much emotion. Since Zhang and the Phoenix Foundation can afford the price and make certain concessions, Mr. Jin Chunlai is allowed to continue to serve as Hong Kong Telecom
President, then why is Dadong Cable and Telegraph Company still obsessed with background issues?"
James shrugged and said: "Well, business is business. Then my final condition is that in addition to the acquisition price of 10 billion US dollars, we must also retain 20% of Hong Kong Island Telecom's shares. This is our bottom line.
.”
Zhang Qing shook his head and said: "I will give you a final number. If you agree, you will sign. If you don't agree, the acquisition will be stopped here. We will wait another seven years for a full acquisition of US$11 billion."
James shook his head repeatedly, but before he spoke, Zhang Qing stood up, shook hands with Rosenberg and said, "Mi Gao, I'm sorry to trouble you this time. I invite you to my wedding next month. I'm getting married."
"
Rosenberg laughed and said: "Zhang, I don't know whether to envy you or sympathize with you. You are so young and entered into marriage early. Wow, if I had so much wealth and status at your age,
Then I will definitely not get married until I am fifty."
Zhang Qing smiled, turned around and left without saying anything else.
"etc!"
James still spoke. He was not a fool. How could a person who could be in charge of a century-old company be so restless? But as Zhang Qing said, Hong Kong Telecom's business license was only seven years old.
Zhang Qing is still so young, so he can afford to wait. It would be more cost-effective to wait three to five years before making the acquisition.
However, the Dadong Telegraph Bureau could not afford to wait, and the losses were too great.
"Zhang, I agree, sign it. Congratulations on having such a wonderful company."
James had a happy smile on his face that he didn't know was true or false, and clapped his hands and said.
Zhang Qing nodded, looked at each other and smiled at Zhao Qiang.
From today on, they can be regarded as the real tycoons of Hong Kong Island.
