Reborn since 1993

Chapter 428 People are most afraid of imagination

Whether it is taking over the 8% stake in Hong Kong City Telecom held by Taifook Group or acquiring the stake in Hong Kong City Telecom held by Dadong Telegraph Company, Li Dongling needs a shell company to do it and cannot have direct connection with Dongling Hi-Tech.

This move has a bit of the flavor of "covering one's ears and stealing the bell", but this is the rule of the industry. It's like one thing. Everyone knows who did it, but as long as he doesn't admit it loudly, no matter how many people speculate, it can't be confirmed. Rumors are just rumors after all...

Similarly, even if everyone knows that this shell company belongs to Dongling Hi-Tech, as long as Dongling Hi-Tech itself does not directly admit it, if something goes wrong or it makes money one day, it cannot be blamed on Dongling Hi-Tech.

"Yes!"

Lin Xianhui quickly said that he didn't know what Dajin was mainly doing, but coming to Gangcheng in person this time was also the best opportunity for him as the general manager of Dongling Hi-Tech Gangcheng to show his abilities, and he didn't want to miss it.

"In addition, there is one more thing. Register the Hong Kong Cyberport brand and all related brands!" Li Dongling added.

The Cyberport brand and the Internet concept it represents are of vital importance, especially in the upcoming Internet craze period. With this brand, together with Hong Kong City Telecom, we can do a lot of things.

……

In Cable & Wireless in Hong Kong, the new president Brown has just finished processing a document. Cable & Wireless has businesses in more than 70 countries around the world and employs more than 40,000 people, but Hong Kong Telecom is its most profitable company.

This time, Brown took office with the will of the Cable & Wireless board of directors, wanting to sell Hong Kong City Telecommunications as soon as possible!
The reason why Hong Kong City Telecom was able to dominate the market in the past was because it had exclusive telecommunications operating rights, that is, Hong Kong City was the only one that could provide fixed-line and international telephone services. Although the Hong Kong government has issued seven telecommunications licenses in recent years, most of them were small-scale and posed no threat to Hong Kong City Telecom.

However, the PHS telecommunications company that Ning's Trading Company was planning to promote made Gangcheng Telecom feel threatened. If PHS mobile phones and PHS base stations were used to make calls into Gangcheng, the fixed-line profits of Gangcheng Telecom would certainly plummet.

Therefore, Dadong Telegraph and Gangcheng Telecom have been trying every means to delay the time for Ning's Company to obtain the license.

But this kind of thing can only be delayed for a while, not forever, especially for Ning's Trading Company, which has Dongling Hi-Tech behind it. Dadong Telephone is far more wary of Dongling Hi-Tech than Ning's Trading Company and the telecommunications companies in Gangcheng.

On the one hand, competition in Hong Kong's telecommunications industry began to become fierce. On the other hand, Cable & Wireless had repeatedly wanted to allow Hong Kong Telecom to enter the mainland market. After all, Hong Kong only had a few million people and the market was so big. The domestic market was the starry sky for the telecommunications industry.

However, both the Yanjing Postal Department and companies such as Telecom and Unicom took a tough stance and did not allow Datong Telegraph to get what it wanted, which made Datong Telegraph want to withdraw. Brown became the new president of Datong Telegraph and was responsible for selling Gangcheng Telecommunications.

Brown lost interest after processing a few documents and called his assistant over. "Have you found out what happened to Zhao Shinan?"

Originally, Brown was quite happy to hear that Li Dongling had arrived in Gangcheng, because it meant that Gangcheng Telecom could raise its prices again!
Who fabricated the rumor that Dongling Hi-Tech and Ning's Company had joined forces to acquire Gangcheng Telecom? It was none other than Dadong Telegraph Company!
Dadong Telegraph had no idea whether Dongling Hi-Tech and Ning's Company were going to acquire Gangcheng Telecom, but that did not prevent them from taking advantage of the opportunity to make a fuss, with significant results. Several rumors caused Gangcheng Telecom's stock price to soar.

Up to now, Ning's Trading Company and Dadong Telegraph have received news from some channels that Dongling Hi-Tech and Ning's Company seem to have some intention to intervene in the acquisition of Gangcheng Telecom, which makes Brown and Dadong Telegraph overjoyed.

Because with every additional competitor, the acquisition price of Hongcheng Telecom will increase by one cent. A thing will become more valuable only when more people compete for it!

But Zhao Shinan's sudden appearance interrupted Brown's arrangement. This guy who suddenly appeared seemed to want to drive away Dongling Hi-Tech!
Not to mention others, even Brown couldn't help but feel suspicious, wondering if someone else who wanted to acquire Hong Kong City Telecom arranged this move to drive away competitors.

But for Brown, this was simply an unexpected disaster. If Dongling Hi-Tech, which represented the inland, was artificially driven away and failed to join the negotiations to acquire Gangcheng Telecom, would the Yanjing Post and Telecommunications Department think that someone was deliberately causing trouble? How would Yanjing view Dadong Telegraph?

Even Brown suspected that this was a tragic drama. Once Dongling Hi-Tech withdrew, the Yanjing Post and Telecommunications Department had a reason to say that the transaction was manipulated and an unequal transaction. They instructed the Gangcheng Telecommunications Administration to directly freeze the transaction of Gangcheng Telecommunications. Once it was delayed, it would be impossible to sell it. The longer it was delayed, the more Gangcheng Telecommunications depreciated. In the end, it was acquired at a bargain price!

People are most afraid of imagining things, especially when it comes to huge amounts of dollars. The more Brown thought about it, the more he felt that there must be something fishy going on, a conspiracy...

"I didn't find anything strange. Maybe this is just a matter of jealousy because of Ning Wenke..."

The assistant told Brown that he had asked someone to investigate Zhao Shinan thoroughly, but nothing unusual was found.

"Did you get this information from the Hong Kong gossip tabloids?"

Brown said dissatisfiedly, "If it's just a small matter, is it worth it for so many people in Hong Kong to take action? Have you checked the situation of the Zhao family in Nanyang?"

"Hiss..." The assistant took a breath, shocked by Brown's "perception". "Are you saying that this person is a chess piece put forward by other acquirers to test the waters?"

The Zhao family originated in Nanyang, which is known to everyone. And this time, the most active party in acquiring Hong Kong City Telecom is Singapore Telecommunications in Nanyang, which makes it hard not to make people think about it.

The more Brown thought about it, the more he felt it was possible, but he said, "No matter who Zhao Shinan is, or whether he has anything to do with this matter, he must pay the price. Li Dongling and Dongling Hi-Tech cannot leave Hong Kong City at this time, nor can they leave in this way!"

Brown made up his mind, "Connect me to the Governor's Office!"

……"Snapped!"

In a villa in Gangcheng, Zhao Shinan was slapped hard on the face, and the slap made him see stars.

"What's going on between you and the founder of Dongling Hi-Tech?"

Zhao Jinsha looked at this prodigal son with eyes that seemed to want to eat him up, wishing he could strangle him to death. He only knew that Zhao Shinan liked to waste his energy on women, but he didn't expect that he could be so deceiving. If he had known this day would come, he would never have given birth to this guy even if he was beaten to death.

"I did encounter some troubles, but I can solve them!" Zhao Shinan said with difficulty.

"You solve it?"

Zhao Jinsha's face turned pale. "Do you know that many companies have cancelled their logistics and shipping cooperation with our company? Especially inland areas, it has been reported that they will not accept our Zhao family's ships to transport goods!"

Zhao Shinan's face changed drastically. Although Gangcheng had shipping business with surrounding areas, the largest business was undoubtedly the shipping business with inland areas. Once this market was lost, the Zhao family's shipping business would at least lose a large part of its business.

After the slap, Zhao Jinsha knew that it was useless to be angry at this time, and the matter still had to be resolved. Although he was dissatisfied with Zhao Shinan, he also felt that Li Dongling had gone too far.

It is too overbearing for an outsider to act like this when he just arrived in Gangcheng. The Zhao family has been operating in Gangcheng for so many years and has some connections and resources. Zhao Jinsha plans to ask some old friends to come forward and let Li Dongling know that Gangcheng has rules!

Just as he was about to pick up the phone, the phone in the living room of the Zhao family villa suddenly rang. After Zhao Jinshajie answered the phone, he heard that it was from the Gangcheng Maritime Administration on the other end of the phone that the Zhao family's shipping license had been frozen!

Zhao Jinsha's face turned red, and veins popped out on his forehead. The two most important businesses of the Zhao family are logistics and shipping. If the shipping license is frozen, it means that all the ships that the Zhao family bought with loans will have to be grounded!

The Zhao family was in a state of chaos. They took out blood pressure-lowering medicine and fed it to Zhao Jinsha, which allowed him to breathe a sigh of relief.

But just as he took a breath, another phone call came. After hearing the content of the call, Zhao Jinsha fell straight down.

The license of the Zhao family logistics company was also frozen, and its two main businesses, logistics and shipping, were all shut down.

"A family with a fortune of 600 million in Hong Kong City suddenly encountered an accident. Zhao Jinsha was sent to the hospital yesterday. Many members of the Zhao family began to recruit lawyers to fight for the family fortune!"

"Last night, the Hong Kong Police Station, the Maritime Administration and other departments discovered violent crimes committed by the Zhao family many years ago in the logistics and shipping industries. There were also tax and injury incidents. The shipping and logistics licenses of many companies under the Zhao family were frozen and operations were suspended!"

"Zhao Shinan, who is known as the playboy of Hong Kong, was exposed by the media and may be facing the risk of bankruptcy!"

"The construction company and leasing company under Zhao Shinan's name are all suspended. In addition, they need to pay compensation to hundreds of tenants. Currently, many tenants want to sue Zhao Shinan!"

"The Hong Kong Securities Regulatory Commission announced that it will launch an investigation into Zhao Shinan, who may be involved in multiple cases of insider trading of stocks!"

"Standard Chartered Bank, apply to seal up a luxury villa under Zhao Shinan's name!"

The next day, many media outlets in Hong Kong suddenly reported that the Zhao family, whose assets exceeded 600 million Hong Kong dollars, suddenly collapsed!
After Zhao Jinsha was sent to the hospital, the Zhao family, which had many children, immediately began to rob the family property, from villas to jewelry and antiques, to ships and fleets, all of which were robbed and then sold.

Zhao Shinan, who has always been known for his romantic career, appeared on the cover of the newspaper, getting into a car in a panic, refusing to accept media interviews, and drove away at full speed.

In addition to these media reports, Hong Kong's gossip media also reported much more explosive stories.

"Zhao Shinan and the 20 richest men in Asia are fighting for the female head of Ning's Trading Company!"

"Family feud, revealing the secret of Zhao family's bankruptcy!"

"Zhao Shinan's girlfriend exclusively revealed that Zhao Shinan had offended the founder of Dongling Hi-Tech, which led to his sudden misfortune..."

There are all kinds of news, true and false, involving serious topics that Hong Kong loves to see, such as the struggles among wealthy families and the scramble for property, as well as some very imaginative arrangements, which have given Hong Kong's spectators a good meal today.

But while countless people were watching the show, they also learned that the sudden change in the Zhao family and the bankruptcy of Zhao Shinan were more or less related to Li Dongling who came to Gangcheng.

Some people are just watching the show, but people in the same circle as Gangcheng and the Zhao family have begun to become wary. This time it was the Zhao family, so what will happen if they provoke someone they shouldn’t provoke next time?
