Chapter 238 Xiangjiang First Shipping Group!

Federal Building.

Imperial Group meeting room.

Reporters from major newspapers and magazines in Hong Kong, TV reporters, especially those from Asia TV, suddenly received a call from the Imperial Group, informing them to come to the Imperial Group to attend the press conference this morning.

last month.

The swallowing up of Jardine Land by Imperial Group is not only a wealth feast for Hong Kong stockholders, but also a feast for Hong Kong media newspapers and reporters.

Not only has the circulation of Xiangjiang newspapers been increased, but the monthly income of major newspapers and periodicals has been equal to half a year's income. Many reporters and even editors have doubled their income and commissions.

Now that I heard that the Imperial Group is going to hold a press conference again, there must be important news.

Early in the morning.

Many reporters have come to the Federal Building.

Among these journalists, only some were allowed to enter to participate in the press conference, and most were not allowed to enter.

. . .

Yang Ming was finishing breakfast with his parents.

He also took a car to the Federal Building and took a wheelchair to the office of the chairman of the Imperial Group.

Today's press conference.

Yang Ming will not be present, and the general manager of the Empire Group, Meris, will still be present.

Yang Ming chatted with Meris for half an hour in the chairman's office.

9:30am.

Mailis seemed to be in a different mood than before, with a smile on his face, and appeared in the conference room with Tang Shilian.

Except for these two people.

There is also Ma Shimin, general manager of Jardine Group.

Bao Fuda, General Manager of Heungkong Land Group.

Peter Wei, general manager of Wharf Group.

Hutchison Whampoa Executive President Wei Li.

To the surprise of other reporters, the senior executives present at Hutchison Whampoa this time also included Li Caixin, the former executive vice president of Hutchison Whampoa and now the executive director of Hutchison Whampoa.

Last night, after Li Caixin went back, he thought about it all night, and was also excited all night.

The world of Xiangjiang is still Huazi after all, so he succumbed.

Moreover, Mr. Yang's ability is not bad, he really started to treat Mr. Yang as his own boss.

Woke up early this morning. With the help of his wife, Li Caixin came to the Imperial Group for the first time in a suit.

When he came to the Imperial Group, Yang Ming recognized his identity after meeting him.

However, in Yang Ming's circle, like Bao Fuda, he still needs further investigation.

Li Caixin sat next to Wei Li.

The others sat beside Ma Shimin.

"Everyone, I am Meris, the general manager of the Imperial Group. This time, on behalf of the chairman, Mr. Yang, I will host this press conference. There will be very important news to be released soon."

"Mr. Merris, may I ask which British company in Xiangjiang you bought?"

A reporter immediately asked.

"Mr. Merris, I don't know which British capital your Empire Group has acquired, and what kind of additional purchases are you planning to make?"

. . .

Many reporters thought that which British company the Empire Group and Mr. Yang were going to attack again, which made some white reporters present look a little bad, feeling that their British companies were like pigs waiting to be slaughtered by the Empire Group.

In fact, the British capital in Xiangjiang is like that now, and they are beginning to fear and fear the sneak attack of the imperial group.

"Everyone, this has nothing to do with the acquisition or the purchase of any additional companies."

Does it have nothing to do with acquisitions or additional purchases of any company?
"Mr. Merris, is this the news about Mr. Yang's inspection trip to the Mainland?"

Another reporter asked.

Now the journalists and newspapers of Zuo Pai in Xiangjiang are still very interested in Mr. Yang's return to China.

In particular, it was reported that Mr. Yang sent a big gift to the country, donating 1 million Hong Kong dollars to the country every year to support the student fund.

This made Xiangjiang's Zuopai newspapers and reporters have a much better image of a big capitalist like Mr. Yang.

It was even rumored that when Mr. Yang participated in the Badaling Great Wall in Yanjing, he also uttered heartfelt words to the motherland.

Like the incomplete "My Chinese Heart", it has now spread to Xiangjiang, and many people will hum when they hear it.

Is this a song, or Mr. Yang's emotion at that time, no one knows?
However, it is precisely this that has won the praise and recognition of Xiangjiang Zuopai and reporters from Zuopai newspapers.

Meris just smiled there.

Wait until the attendance is complete.

The atmosphere of the scene is enough.

Meris said: "Next, please be quiet, I will officially announce the news of this press conference."

The hundreds of reporters present immediately shut up and looked nervously at Meris in front.

"First, it is about the idea of ​​Mr. Yang, the chairman of our Imperial Group. Mr. Yang is very optimistic about the future of the global shipping industry. In addition, after the Imperial Group has acquired Wharf, Hutchison Whampoa, and Jardine Land, these groups themselves have already Having a foundation in shipping also has certain advantages.”

"Mr. Yang proposed to integrate the advantages of the shipping industry of Imperial Group and its subsidiaries. That is to say, on the basis of these groups, the shipping industry of Wharf Group, the shipping industry of Hutchison Whampoa, and the shipping industry of Jardine Land The shipping industry will be integrated into a new international shipping group."

When Meris announced the news, many reporters present were indeed stunned.

The Imperial Group is about to enter Xiangjiang, and even the global shipping industry.

Before the 50s, Xiangjiang's shipping industry had always been a British monopoly.

Later, Bao Yugang's Global Shipping and Asia Shipping, Dong Haoyun's OOCL, Zhao's Zhao Congyan's Guanghua Shipping, and Cao's Cao Wenjing's Wanbang Shipping came into being.

As Melis said.

Although before this, the shipping industry under Wharf, Hutchison Whampoa, and Jardine Land were not as good as Bao Yugang's Global Shipping, Asia Shipping, and Dong Haoyun's OOCL.

However, the advantages of these groups are all there.

Like the shipping industry of these groups, the total deadweight tonnage of each company exceeds one million tons.

In addition, Wharf Group, Hutchison Whampoa Group, and Jardine Group have obvious advantages, except that they almost monopolize the major terminals and warehouses in Xiangjiang.

In Southeast Asia, even in Europe, the Middle East, South Philippines, and country M, there are many ports, terminals, and routes monopolized by these groups.

This time, Mr. Yang of the Imperial Group proposed the integration of internal resources.

These groups are not 100% controlled by the Imperial Group. Basically, the holdings have exceeded 70% of the shares, and it is useless for small shareholders to object.

Whatever Mr. Yang wants to do, they can only obey, or they can only sell their stocks.

At this time, after these groups such as Wharf were swallowed up by the Imperial Group, they no longer had the same hype significance as before. When they sold them, the stock price could only be very low.

The reporters present were indeed stunned.

Mr. Yang wants to enter the shipping industry, and once he comes, he will show his trump card.

Like Bao Yugang's Global Shipping, Asia Shipping, Dong Haoyun's OOCL, and other British-owned shipping companies in Hong Kong, such as Wheelock Shipping, Swire Shipping, and other British-owned and Chinese-owned shipping industries Can the Imperial Group's shipping industry attack?
Now that the shipping industry of these groups under the Imperial Group is united, their strength and advantages are very obvious in all aspects.

"Second, after the group's shipping industry is combined, it will be called Xiangjiang No. [-] Shipping Group in the future."

Xiangjiang First Shipping Group?

This is too arrogant.

The two most important shipping groups under Bao Yugang, the parent company is Global Shipping, and the other is Asia Shipping.

One is Universal and the other is Asia, which sounds really domineering.

Orient Overseas by Dong Haoyun.

It's both east and overseas, and that's not easy.

There is also the Zhao family's Huaguang shipping industry, which means the light of China.

The Cao family's Wanbang Shipping has a bigger name. Wanbang came to the court, and the barbarians served them. When they heard this name, they felt domineering.

Now the Xiangjiang No. [-] Shipping of the Imperial Group seems to be the No. [-] of Xiangjiang.

However, if Yang Ming's No. [-] Shipping is the No. [-] in Xiangjiang, it is naturally not under Bao Yugang's Global Shipping, Asia Shipping, Dong Haoyun's OOCL, Zhao's Huaguang, and Cao's Wanbang.

When the reporters present heard it, they didn't know whether they were surprised or what.

Wait for those reporters to digest the news gradually.

Meris looked at the reporters present and said: "Thirdly, about the appointment of personnel of the First Shipping Group. After Mr. Yang's decision, Mr. Li Caixin, the former executive vice president of Hutchison Whampoa and executive director of Hutchison Whampoa, will be the first shipping company. The first general manager of a shipping group."

"Next, applaud Mr. Li Caixin."

When Meris took the lead in applauding for Li Caixin, Li Caixin was really excited.

He is also a man of experience.

Standing up very calmly, he said, "Thank you for the trust of Chairman Mr. Yang, thank you for the support of General Manager Mr. Melis and others, and thank you for the recommendation of Mr. Wei Li, Executive President of Hutchison Whampoa. Here, I announce that I will use my The ability to manage the First Shipping Group well will definitely not let Mr. Yang down."

After Li Caixin spoke.

The meeting room applauded again.

Today's press conference, the three most important things, that is, these three things.

"Next, I announce the end of today's press conference. You can interview Mr. Li Caixin, but it cannot exceed half an hour."

Meris and others are ready to leave.

Those reporters frantically gathered around, holding the interview microphones, and almost stuffed them in front of Li Caixin.

They started asking all kinds of weird questions.

"Mr. Li, I don't know if you are under pressure as the general manager of the First Shipping Group? Now we have two of the world's top ten shipping kings in Xiangjiang, among them, Mr. Bao Yugang, chairman of Global Shipping and Asia Shipping, and Dong Haoyun, chairman of Orient Overseas Shipping. Sir, will they put pressure on the Imperial Group to enter global shipping?"

"Hello, is there any pressure on me as the First Shipping Group? I can tell you that there is! When I heard the news last night, I didn't sleep well all night. However, I believe that with my work in Hutchison Whampoa With my ability and experience, I can manage the First Shipping Group for Mr. Yang! As for Mr. Bao of Global Shipping and Mr. Dong of OOCL, I don’t know whether there is any pressure on Imperial Group to enter the shipping industry, because I am not the person involved, but First Shipping was integrated on the basis of the shipping industry of several foreign companies and groups. It did not exist at the beginning. Now it is just the integration of internal resource advantages as Mr. Yang said, to further enhance the shipping of our empire group. The advantages of the industry, in the global shipping industry, more competitive."

"Mr. Li, I heard that the global shipping industry is now in a period of decline. Among them, the two most obvious ones are that Mr. Bao Yugang of Global Shipping proposed a plan to abandon the ship and land at the beginning of the year. He planned to abandon most of the ships and obtain funds to enter the land. In addition, there is Toyo, the world's largest shipbuilding country. According to the data, Toyo Shipbuilding occupies half of the global market. However, due to the impact of the international environment and the decline of the global shipping industry, Toyo Shipbuilding Factory There have been many closures, such as the Dongyang Shipyard that cooperated with Mr. Bao Yugang. I don’t know if the First Shipping Group’s entry into the shipping industry is against the global market economy, or is it related to something else?”

Li Caixin was also a little surprised. This female reporter was able to ask such a difficult question. Obviously, before coming here, even if she didn't know it was about the first shipping press conference, she knew the news about the shipping industry.

Bao Yugang's proposal of abandoning the boat and landing was reported at the beginning of the year.

Bao Yugang neither denied nor did it with great fanfare, which means it should be true.

As for the news about the collapse of Dongyang Shipyard, it can be read in major newspapers in Xiangjiang at any time, and it is also true.

"Hello, regarding the recession of the global shipping industry you mentioned, it is possible, and it may also be that the global shipping industry is in a low period. This also happens to be the opportunity for Imperial Group's First Shipping to enter the global shipping industry."

"As for Mr. Bao Yugang's plan to abandon the boat and land, I can't answer this question. You can only interview the person involved."

"I have noticed the news about the collapse of Dongyang Shipyard, and it seems normal to me. If any company has serious debt problems, it may go bankrupt."
