Hong Kong Movies: You Hongxingzi, what the hell is the charity king?

Chapter 488 "487" Guan Zu takes over Dragonair and launches a series of random punches!
In the box,
Mr. Cao spoke passionately.
"When Dragonair was first established, it encountered great difficulties. Due to the unreasonable policies of the Hong Kong government, Dragonair was unable to apply for air transport licenses for popular routes and suffered losses almost every month."

"But at that time, Lao Bao and I worked hard to expose and criticize the unreasonable and biased policies of the Hong Kong government. On the other hand, we also established extensive relations with various countries and fought for air routes."

"The mainland has also expressed support for Dragonair's business development, opening up 22 routes between Hong Kong and the mainland for Dragonair to operate."

"Afterwards, we also obtained licenses for international routes to Thailand, Japan, Malaysia, etc..."

Then, the voice gradually turned into unwillingness.

"DragonHorse's development was not smooth because the British Hong Kong government was causing trouble again and Cathay Pacific was suppressing competition. We lost a lot of money..."

"In 89, Lao Bao withdrew, and most of the shares were acquired by my Cao family."

"In 90, the losses were even greater... At this time, Guotai and CITIC wanted to acquire the company, and then all shareholders sold their shares. In the end, CITIC held 38.3%, Guotai held 30%, Cao's 21.6%, and Swire 5%..."

"Not long after that, at the shareholders' meeting, China Pacific took over the management rights of Dragonair on the grounds of distributing profits and making Dragonair profitable..."

Speaking of which,

Mr. Cao's voice sounded a little bleak.

Back then, when Dragonair was founded, everyone was very excited and thought it was another grand event for Chinese capital.

But now, it has been occupied by Thailand.

There is a feeling of losing sovereignty and humiliating the country.

Mr. Cao looked at Guan Zu's young face and sharp eyes.

perhaps,

Dragonair should be handed over to young people.

Thinking of this, Mr. Cao suddenly came up with a decision: "Mr. Guan, I know you want to compete with this Cathay Pacific Airways... I wonder if you are interested in taking over the 21.6% shares held by my Cao family?"

Guan Zu was shocked: "Mr. Cao, are you willing to sell it? This is your hard work!"

Mr. Cao waved his hand and said, "No, I'm old, and in my hands, Dragonair is like dead. Maybe in your hands, it can have a new life."

Guan Zu's abilities are known throughout Hong Kong.

Guan Zu’s character is recognized by everyone in Hong Kong.

Therefore, it may be a good idea to hand over Dragonair to Guan Zu.

Guan Zu thought that the two sides would argue for a while, but he didn't expect Mr. Cao to be so straightforward. He couldn't help but feel a little surprised.

Without hesitation,

Raise your glass,

"Thank you very much, Mr. Cao. I want this share!"

"I did it, you can do whatever you want!"

Guan Zu raised his head and drank the full glass of white wine in one gulp.

Next,
The atmosphere at the table became much more lively.

……

……

a new day,
The Five Star Group and the Cao family began formal acquisition negotiations.

At this time, Dragonair's profitability was still very average, and its overall market valuation was around HK$130 billion.

It's definitely the lowest of low.

The initial negotiated price for Cao's 21.6% stake is around HK$28 billion.

quickly,

The news reached the ears of Tai and Swire Group.

……

……

Swire Building.

Office of the Chief Executive Officer, KuoThai
After hearing the secretary's report, Tang Baolin felt like vomiting blood.

No, why did you acquire Dragonair?
Damn it, I'm just discriminating against mainlanders and dividing employees into different levels. You can just vent your anger by cursing in the newspaper a few times. What the hell are you doing acquiring Dragonair?
There's no need to be so serious, brother!

"Ling ring ring~~~~"

At this time, the phone in his office rang. He looked at the number on the phone and saw that it was a call from Mr. Pang Lizhi, a director of Swire Group upstairs.

"Mr. Peng!" Tang Baolin lowered his head slightly.

This director Peng Lizhi is a big shot.

The former Financial Secretary, now retired, has become one of the directors of the Swire Group and has considerable power in the Swire Group.

"Have you heard about Guan Zu's acquisition of Dragonair? Come to my office and explain it to me!" Director Peng Lizhi said in a somewhat cold voice.

"Yes, I'll go right away."

As Tang Baolin took the elevator upstairs, he was thinking about how to deal with his leader's questions.

Soon, we arrived at Peng Lizhi's office.

"Mr. Peng~~"

"come in……"

After Tang Baolin walked in,

Peng Lizhi has silver-white hair and is now 67 years old. Because of his service in the British Army, he has a very strong aura.

"I heard that you provoked Guan Zu... Tell me, what happened?"

Tang Baolin quickly explained the whole process.

Peng Lizhi was surprised: "That's it? Is this considered discrimination?"

Tang Baolin: "Yes, that's why... Guan Zu is a recognized leftist figure, so he thinks this is discrimination... I thought he would just write a few words in the newspaper, but I didn't expect him to go and buy Dragonair directly."

Peng Lizhi waved his hands: "I don't care about these... I just want to ask one question, can we still control Dragonair?"

Dragonair can only be a lackey of Thai Airlines!

Never get out of control!

Tang Baolin was very confident about this: "Don't worry, Mr. Peng, Dragonair's business needs us to provide it. If Dragonair doesn't want to continue to lose money, it must listen to Taiping."

Peng Lizhi: "Okay, I'll remember what you said."

wave,

Get Tang Baolin out of here.

……

In the next few days, the negotiations between Cao and the Five Star Group progressed rapidly.

On the fifth day,
The negotiations officially ended.

The two parties held a press conference and officially announced that Guan Zu had acquired all of Cao's 26.5% shares for RMB 21.6 billion.

At the press conference,

Guan Zu undoubtedly became the focus of reporters' cameras and interviews.

He stood on the stage.
"This acquisition is my response to Cathay Pacific's discrimination against ordinary Hong Kong Island citizens and mainland compatriots!"

"It is precisely because Guotai is a British-owned company that it shows discrimination against Chinese people from top to bottom."

"In that case, why can't we have an airline owned by the Chinese?"

“So, I bought Dragonair.”

ATV reporter asked: "Mr. Guan, you only have 21.6% of Dragonair's shares, while China Pacific owns 30% of Dragonair's shares, which is not even as much as China Pacific's shares. Does this mean you will continue to acquire more shares?"

Guan Zu nodded: "Yes, I will continue to acquire..."

Oriental Daily reporter: "May I ask Mr. Guan's acquisition plan?"

Guan Zu: "I will buy out Dragonair's shares from Cathay Pacific."

"Ah~~~~~"

All the reporters in the audience were shocked.

Sing Tao Daily reporter: "Mr. Guan, Guotai is now performing well and has sufficient finances. It is unlikely that they will sell Dragonair shares to you, right?"

Guan Zu was full of confidence: "No, it will definitely sell..."

Guan Zu already has a comprehensive plan for this.

What Thailand?
Too low. At best, he can only be my third-tier opponent!
Guan Zu's sights were fixed on——Swire Group!!

Well... now Guan Zu just needs to stir up the heat first.

Because to deal with the Swire Group, we need the support of public opinion!

"Everyone!"

Guan Zu was passionate.
"We are standing in Hong Kong Island, where Chinese people make up more than 95% of the population. There is no reason for us to be trampled on by a foreign airline and treated as second-class citizens..."

"When I take a plane, I suffer the arrogant looks and perfunctory attitudes of the stewardesses..."

“Are we going to keep enduring this kind of treatment in silence?”

"No!"

"I do not want to!"

"so!"

"I think that Hong Kong Island should have its own Chinese airline to provide good services to the citizens of Hong Kong Island, and not discriminate against us because we are not proficient in English or treat us differently because we are not foreigners..."

"I solemnly promise that after the acquisition of Dragonair by Five Star Group, there will be absolutely no discrimination. There will only be enthusiasm, sincerity and equality, so that passengers can feel the warmth of home..."

The words haven't finished yet,

Crash~~~~~
There was a lot of applause from the audience.

……

noon,

ATV and TVB News fully covered Guan Zu's acquisition press conference.

Countless citizens who had been discriminated against by Thailand applauded.

"Support Mr. Guan!"

"That's right, Hong Kong Islanders should have their own airline!"

"Reject airlines like CATIC that discriminate against Chinese people!"

"support!"

"I support everything about the Five Star Group and Mr. Guan!"

……

……

then……

Thailand,

Tang Baolin's Office

"Hahaha~~~"

"Who does Guan Zu think he is?!"

"If you say acquisition, will our Guotai sell it to him?"

"Innocent!"

Tang Baolin watched TV and couldn't help laughing.

Neither Swire Group nor Cathay Pacific Airways will sit idly by and watch Guan Zu take over Dragonair!

What does Guan Zu use to acquire it?
Laugh to death!

"Ling ring ring~~~"

Swire director Peter Pang called and said: "I feel that the public opinion is not quite right. You should immediately hold a press conference and apologize to the people of Hong Kong Island."

Tang Baolin: “Ah?”

Peng Lizhi: "What? Can't you see? That Guan Zu is manipulating public opinion. It's his old trick. Hold a press conference this afternoon and apologize!"

Tang Baolin: "Do we need to apologize to the mainland?"

Peng Lizhi: "It's just an apology. I'm not asking you to correct your behavior. Will you die if you apologize?"

This is an old trick of Guotai.

Apologize, apologize, but I won’t change!
Craftsmanship·jpg
Tang Baolin: “…………”

The smiling face just now instantly turned into a miserable one.

in the afternoon,

Tang Baolin quickly held a press conference.

On the stage, he was very proud.

"First of all, I would like to apologize to all citizens for the service attitude of the flight attendants of Cathay Pacific Airways..."

"Cathay Pacific has always been responsible..."

The entire apology revolves around several points: the service attitude is problematic and we will correct it; we apologize to the citizens and the mainland; it is the flight attendant department leaders who failed in their duties and will rectify the situation immediately...

The reporters were filled with questions.

at night,

TVB and ATV reported the content of this press conference.

After watching this, many Hong Kong citizens...forgave it.

It felt like victory.

The heat of public opinion has been reduced a little.

……

a new day,
Guan Zu is causing trouble again.

He held another press conference and released a bombshell piece of news.

Five Star Group acquired 15% of the shares held by CITIC Group, and its shareholding exceeded 36.6%, which is 1.6% more than that of Cathay Pacific and Swire Group combined.

Successfully became the largest shareholder of Dragonair!
noon,

ATV and TVB reported the news.

The enthusiasm in Hong Kong soared again.

Yesterday, Cathay Pacific apologized, and many citizens chose to forgive. However, their attention did not drop, but shifted to Guan Zu's acquisition of Dragonair vs. Cathay Pacific.

Guan Zu, your support rate is close to half in Hong Kong.

Every major event is always number one on the hot list!

Guan Zu's actions naturally attracted the attention of all Hong Kong citizens.

Can Guan Zu succeed in acquiring Dragonair?
Dragonair vs. Cathay Pacific, can it succeed?
……

Pacific Airways,

"What if you buy more?"

"Do you dare to take away the management rights?"

Tang Baolin watched the TV and sneered.
"Without the charity from my country, you wouldn't even have food to eat! Idiot!"

At this time, the secretary knocked on the door and walked in: "President, just now, Zhongxin and Guanzu of Hong Kong Dragon jointly issued a notice: Because of the arrival of new shareholders, a shareholders' meeting will be held in the afternoon of three days later."

"understood."

Tang Baolin waved his hand and sent the secretary away.

At this time, Tang Baolin was still full of confidence.

As long as the Hong Kong government continues to implement the "one route, one company" policy, Dragonair will have no chance of development.

The Hong Kong Island government stands on the side of Cathay Pacific Airways.

The advantage is mine.jpg
……

……

Just when Tang Baolin was full of confidence,
peninsula hotel,

Guan Zu and Fei Peng, having afternoon tea here.
