Chapter 854: Thousands of boats return to the sea, a reed plays on the waves
The Japanese anchor on TV was also reporting the news in a triumphant tone.

"Xiaolingtong is currently the third largest mobile phone manufacturer in the world in terms of shipments. If Nippon Telephone and Telegraph acquires Xiaolingtong, it will become one of the world's mobile phone giants.

The acquisition of PHS means that Nippon has completed its layout in the global PHS industry chain. President Nakamura Suefu declared that this is an important step for Nippon Telecom to become a global standard!

On TV, the host was generous in his praise for Nakamura Suio, praising him to the sky and touting him as the man who saved Japan's technology industry from dire straits.

At the same time, major Japanese financial institutions also raised their expectations for NTT's performance.

"Nomura Securities announced that it has raised its forecast for Nippon Benz Telephone & Telegraph's next quarter to buy, and also adjusted its forecast for Nippon Benz Telephone & Telegraph's share price from $23 to $25.7!"

"Nikko Securities announced the establishment of the Japan Benzene PHS investment section, claiming that this is the future of the Japan Benzene investment market!"

Watching the constant praise on TV, Makoto Yamashina, who was sitting there, had a dazed look on his face.

He had heard some rumors in the past few days that Nippon Telephone and Telegraph Company wanted to acquire Xiaolingtong from Bandai's parent company Dongling Hi-Tech, but he did not expect it to be possible so quickly. He did not expect that Xiaolingtong phones could be sold at a sky-high price of 14.6 billion US dollars!
But looking at the high-spirited look of Nakamura Suio on TV, Yamashina Makoto didn't know why, but he always felt an inexplicable sense of familiarity, a sense of déjà vu.

Then, Yamashina Makoto suddenly realized that the same expression on Nakamura Suio's face at this moment had also appeared on his face a few years ago.

Thinking of the past, Sanshima Makoto couldn't help showing a somewhat unbearable look on his face, but for Nippon Telephone and Telegraph Company, Sanshima Makoto felt that it should not repeat the same mistake that Bandai made when it bought the electronic pet machine from Dongling Hi-Tech...

After all, this is something that was purchased at a cost of more than 10 billion US dollars. It is impossible that it would suddenly become unsatisfactory and the inventory would be squeezed out after only one or two years of use like Bandai.

However, these are not something that Makoto Yamashina needs to worry about. Now he has no complaints about Bandai becoming a subsidiary of Dongling Hi-Tech. The two projects, Pop Mart blind box and Pokemon, have already made Bandai stand up.

Although there is a Japanese colleague named Yin Yang Bandai who is a lackey of a certain mainland company, but as the saying goes, what's wrong with being a dog? The lackey boss of a company with a market value of tens of billions of dollars, whose net worth increases by tens of millions of dollars every day, should he be a lackey?

As for whether Nippon Telephone and Telegraph Company and Nakamura Sueo will be in trouble, Makoto Yamashina doesn't care. In fact, if Nippon Telephone and Telegraph Company follows the same path as Bandai and sells itself to a philanthropist, Makoto Yamashina might even be gloating!
……

In Gangcheng, the Changjiang Li family, which has a mahogany home style, is preparing a family dinner today, and all the Li family members have returned to the villa area today.

Now, after the kidnapping of the eldest son of the Li family, the entire Changjiang Li family's villa has received a large number of security personnel, and the entire Changjiang Li family has almost been built into a fortress.

However, in the Li family now, it is basically Mr. Li of Changjiang who is talking to the eldest son of the Li family who was appointed as the successor, while Li Zekai is watching Hong Kong TV programs bored.

Every family has its own problems. For the wealthy Li family in Hong Kong, it certainly has its own problems. The relationship between Boss Li and Li Zekai is very strained.

If it weren't for today's dinner and the media coming to film the Li family, Boss Li would have taken the opportunity to promote the Li family's unity to the people of Hong Kong, and Li Zekai probably wouldn't have come back for this dinner.

"People in Hong Kong are panicking now. The Hang Seng Index has been cut in half, and the property market has fallen by 40% compared to the first half of the year. No real estate company dares to take up land in Hong Kong now.

I don’t know if the Hong Kong dollar can maintain its exchange rate!”

The eldest son of the Li family said to Boss Li with some concern.

Now the international hedge fund led by Soros is still in a tug of war with Hong Kong. The Hong Kong government has chosen to maintain the Hong Kong dollar exchange rate, but the Hong Kong stock and property markets have been plummeting and halving.

"In the short term, Hong Kong's property market may not be able to recover. This process may be very long!"

Boss Li said with a sharp eye that he was somewhat pessimistic about the Hong Kong city's property market, and that it might not even recover within ten years.

"For Changjiang, now is also an opportunity to transform and invest overseas!"

Boss Li said to the eldest son of the Li family that a large number of companies in Hong Kong City have collapsed now, especially the real estate prodigies and stock market prodigies that were famous in the past few years. Now their capital chains are broken, they are heavily in debt and have collapsed. Many of them have even jumped off buildings or ran away.

But the Changjiang Li family does not need to worry about these things. Boss Li has hoarded a large amount of cash and does not need to worry about funding issues. However, countless wealthy people in Hong Kong are now fleeing in a hurry, trying to cash out Hong Kong's industries and transfer them to overseas markets.

The Li family of Changjiang is actually doing the same thing. In the past few years, Boss Li has begun to transform continuously, investing in technology companies and investing in overseas industries.

"Let Hutchison Whampoa enter the telecommunications markets in Hebrew, Canada, England and other places. In the future, the Changjiang Li family will not only invest in toll tunnels, highways, land, etc. in the mainland, but also invest in water plants, docks, power grids, natural gas, telecommunications, etc. in England and other places!"

As the Hong Kong economy is in recession right now, Boss Li took the opportunity to allow the Changjiang Li family to complete their transformation and start a buying spree in England, Canada and other places. He is just about to buy out the whole of England.

At this time, Boss Li probably would not have thought that one day in the future, the British would once again use Anglo-Saxon pirate tactics and start clamoring to take back the water, electricity, natural gas, telecommunications, ports and other industries that Britain had sold to him!
Hearing the decision made by Boss Li, the eldest son of the Li family nodded. Although he is now the next generation head of the Li family, the entire Changjiang Li family is still under the control of Boss Li.

"I'm afraid Peregrine can't hold on any longer. Should we withdraw our investment?" The eldest son of the Li family mentioned another matter.

Barings is also one of the industries invested by the Li family, and Liang Botao has a very close relationship with the Li family. The fact that Barings could become the number one securities company in Hong Kong so quickly is also inseparable from the support of the Cheung Kong Li family.

But now, Peregrine's share price has plummeted, and its investments in bonds in Malaysia and other places have resulted in huge losses. It has incurred huge debts, and it is impossible for it to repay those debts on its own. Peregrine's bankruptcy is only a matter of time.

"When it's time to let go, you have to let go. Only when the green mountains remain can you have firewood to burn!"

Boss Li said this without hesitation. When the eldest son of the Li family heard this, he already knew what Boss Li meant. The Changjiang Li family was going to give up Peregrine.

Without the support of Hong Kong's wealthy families and conglomerates, it was hardly surprising that Peregrine went bankrupt.

Li Zekai listened to the conversation between Boss Li and the eldest son of the Li family, but he had no interest in listening any further. He was not interested in the Changjiang Group, and he had no intention of working under Boss Li.

Just as Li Zekai was about to get up, he heard a report on TV, which made Li Zekai hang in mid-air, his eyes fixed on the report from Hong Kong TVB TV station.

"The largest transaction in the history of Asian technology has taken place. The largest technology company in the mainland and the largest telecommunications group in Japan have reached a transaction worth HK$113 billion!
The PHS mobile phone was traded to Nippon Telephone and Telegraph Company. Mr. Li Dongling, the founder of Dongling Hi-Tech, saw his net worth increase by more than HK$100 billion in a single day, and he may be chasing the title of Asia's richest man this year! "

Li Zekai, Boss Li and the eldest son of the Li family who were talking were all attracted.

Even in Hong Kong, Xiaolingtong is a shocking deal for the wealthy families in Hong Kong. Earning 110 billion Hong Kong dollars at a time is enough to give birth to a new wealthy family in Hong Kong!

Li Zekai watched the scene on TV where Li Dongling and Nakamura Weifu were standing together, his eyes flickering, and it was unknown what he was thinking.

When Li Zekai made his debut, he was called a genius and a prodigy. He made US$900 million from Star TV and became famous in Hong Kong. He is still talked about by the Hong Kong media today, making him a leader of the younger generation in Hong Kong and even Southeast Asia.

But now, someone in mainland China has used a transaction of 14.6 billion US dollars to increase the record set by Li Zekai by 16 times.

More importantly, when Li Zekai established the predecessor of Star TV, Boss Li "sponsored" 400 million US dollars, while Mr. Li from the mainland started from scratch!

Boss Li watched the news on TV and then looked at Richard Li. He knew that Richard Li's PCCW was competing with Cyberport, owned by Richard Li, for Hong Kong City Telecom.

Although the relationship between the two is strained, only Boss Li knows how much he values ​​Li Zekai. In his previous life, when Li Zekai acquired Hongcheng Telecom, if it were not for Boss Li's endorsement, how could Li Zekai get the endorsement of HSBC and raise so many US dollars?
But now, watching the news on TV and looking at Li Zekai beside him, Boss Li's heart sank slightly. Can Yingke Power compete with Cyberport supported by Dongling Hi-Tech? !
……

Almost overnight, Hong Kong, Formosa, Japan, Singapore, and even devastated Korea, Siam, Malaysia and other places all reported extensively on the acquisition of Xiaolingtong.

Media in America and old Europe also reported on the matter. Even companies like Qualcomm, Nokia, Ericsson, and Siemens treated this shocking deal as a major threat.

Nippon Telephone and Telegraph Company, which acquired PHS communication equipment, operators, mobile phones, and the entire upstream and downstream industrial chain, and with Japan's global economic status, PHS was indeed very popular for a time. Japanese media even began to clamor that PHS would become one of the world's three major telecommunication standards, on par with GSM and CDMA!
