Global Tycoon: You Call This A Small Achievement?

As for the specific acquisition, He Zhou planned to leave the two masters alone. Through personal relationships, he asked Liang Wendao to come forward in the name of HSBC to help bridge the gap. Oriental Culture Media Group would then form a negotiation team to be responsible for the specific acquisition matters.

When HSBC acquired the South China Morning Post last time, although it was clearly not a big help, it was the first to sell shares at a price that was not too expensive, which was equivalent to setting a good example for the small and medium-sized shareholders and showing HSBC's attitude.

The implication is that it's almost done. There is no need to make the relationship between the two parties too rigid for the sake of petty profit.

After all, everyone will have to live in the same world in the future, and maybe we will need each other at some point~.

In normal times, connections may only be reflected in eating and drinking, and they may even look more like cuckold friends on the outside. However, at critical moments, connections will exert unimaginable abilities.

Network often means circle, and circle means poor information.

HSBC acted very quickly. In just three days, it used its own connections to catch up with London Li and confirmed the other party's willingness to sell Li's TV station.

However, the difference between the two parties lies in the voice of London Li. It seems that some voices advocate selling part of the shares in exchange for the idea of ​​retaining influence in Hong Kong for a long time.

This is something He Zhou firmly disagrees with. He is worried about British capital continuing to stay in Li's TV station and dictating the drastic reforms he is about to carry out.

Not to mention that he cannot accept British capital continuing to hold shares in Li's TV station, even if the other party has buried nails in Li's TV station, he will pull them out one by one!

London Lid Voice owns more than 60% of Lid TV's shares, and the remaining approximately 40% is in the hands of small shareholders.

Therefore, the key to the success of this transaction lies in whether Yu Li decides to let it go completely!

While Oriental Culture Media was going through difficult negotiations with London Beauty, a piece of bad news suddenly came.

"Boss, something bad has happened!" Huang Sheng hurriedly broke into He Zhou's office.

"what happened?"

He Zhou pointed to the opposite side of the sofa: "Sit down first and drink some water."

Secretary Tao Hong handed over two cold drinks at the right time.

"There is now unverified news that an Australian consortium seems to be interested in taking over Li's TV station."

"If it is true, then Li's voice will probably terminate the acquisition negotiations with us. If not, they will delay it appropriately and shop around!"

Huang Sheng poured some water into his stomach, waved his hands and said, "Now, I'm afraid there will be some setbacks when we acquire Li's."

He Zhou frowned slightly, never expecting that Cheng Yaojin would show up halfway when things were about to happen.

He remembered that in the original time and space, when Leigh's Voice in London sold Leigh's TV station, it was also taken over by an Australian consortium.

But soon, the Australian consortium discovered that it had been deceived, and hurriedly sold Li's TV station to the Qiu family of the Bank of East Asia.

"Is the news accurate?" He Zhou asked.

"This... everyone says so, so..." Huang Sheng said uncertainly.

As soon as he finished speaking, the person in charge of acquisition negotiations on the front line called and said that Li's willingness to sell was not as strong as before, and he was reluctant to make concessions on many issues.

"Okay, try your best to talk, but don't be too forced."

He Zhou put down the phone, looked at Huang Sheng and said: "It seems that the news that the Australian consortium is interested in taking over the business should be true."

Emotionally speaking, Ying certainly trusts the Australian people more. Whether Ying believes in blood is thicker than water is hard to say, but Ao really believes in the theory that blood is thicker than water.

In terms of financial resources, Australia is just a country sitting on a mine. If you have a mine at home, what does money mean?

What Australia is worried about right now is that it has too much money and too few safe investment projects.

Therefore, no matter from any aspect, London is more inclined to hand over Xiangjiangli's TV station to the Australian consortium.

He Zhou felt a little uncomfortable. The overcooked duck might fly. Who can bear this?

Immediately, he called HSBC Chairman Shen Bi directly and asked him to help find out the news.

One day later, Shen Bi returned his call.

"The idea of ​​putting Xiangjiangli's TV station in the hands of reliable people is just the idea of ​​some whimsical people in London, and it is they who are responsible for pulling the strings.

Shen Bi said on the phone: "There are also some voices who believe that Australia has become increasingly independent in recent years, which is not conducive to maintaining bilateral relations between Britain and Australia."

Shen Bi said it very cryptically, but He Zhou just went through it in his mind and understood it.

…………Please give me flowers‥

To put it simply, as the income from selling mines increases, Australia's per capita income and GDP exceed those of British residents. London's attractiveness to Australia decreases, which is not conducive to Britain maintaining its influence on Australia.

This situation is similar to how Hong Kong no longer has unparalleled influence on South Asian countries after its halo was shattered in later generations.

Of course, Xiangjiang hopes that Fengnan Asia will develop very well, but the premise must be that Xiangjiang must be far better than the Fengnan Asia countries, and it must be so good that the layers are clear and can be distinguished at a glance.

If the gap between the two is too small, then the attractiveness of Hong Kong may be greatly reduced, and people in South Asian countries will not want to live in Hong Kong.

Since there is discord between Britain and Australia, it means that things have turned for the better.

Sure enough, within a few days, the progress of the negotiations between the two parties suddenly accelerated again.

Of course, there is the factor of Oriental Culture Media's price increase, but the more important factor is Li's increased willingness to negotiate the acquisition.

At this time, the importance of acquiring Li's management and middle-level employees was reflected. They almost unanimously approved the acquisition of Oriental Culture Media. Even if the Australian consortium said it could increase the price, it was still not interested.

The Australian consortium increased the price to give voice to the parent company Li, and they won't get a penny in compensation!

Against the background of the rise of Chinese capital and the frenzied attack on British capital, few people in Xiangjiang hope to finally be rescued from the hands of Hong Mao and work under another foreign devil again.

"Mr. Mapes, I'm so sorry!" Ms. Catherine, the person in charge of Li's Voice, apologized, "But we must respect the wishes of former employees. This is also part of the human rights issue, isn't it?"

Mapes, the representative of the Australian consortium, only had to bite the bullet and nodded. He did not dare to refute such a grand question easily.

After exchanging pleasantries with Catherine, the Australian consortium had no choice but to lead the negotiation team and walk out of Li's TV station with a look of regret.

After dealing with Mapes, Catherine seemed to be in a particularly good mood. She shook hands with He Zhou and congratulated him: "Mr. He, congratulations, from now on, Li's TV station belongs to you!"

He Zhou smiled and stretched out his hand, "I believe this is a win-win decision. Soon, we may have a new cooperation B."
