Chapter 429: Chips

Li Yan and Du Guoying had heard more or less about the rumors that Feiyan Technology was preparing to operate for listing.

Going public means achieving success and achieving financial freedom. Li Yan and the two naturally know this. They naturally thought about Focus Media going public or Beibeijia's parent company Tianjin Yipin going public.

But before, they only dared to think about it privately, but didn't dare to say it explicitly. Now Li Dongling has poked through this layer of window paper. If others said it, they might not believe it, but these words were said by Li Dongling, so they had to believe it!

As long as the Dongling Gao Ke headquarters is willing to support, it's hard for Focus Media and Beibeijia's performance not to be eye-catching. The probability of going public naturally increased several times.

Getting a promise from Li Dongling, Li Yan and Du Guoying could see that Yang Bohua and Song Luancheng must have important matters to discuss with Li Dongling today, so they didn't stay long and left with excitement.

The tea water on the small stove made a light sound. Yang Bohua and Song Luancheng looked at each other, and finally, Yang Bohua spoke first.

"Dongling, to be honest, I came here, besides catching up with old friends, actually there are some official matters in the department!"

Yang Bohua said, "I heard that you are going to Xiangjiang in a few days to attend the listing bell-ringing ceremony of Founder Group on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange?"

Li Dongling going to Xiangjiang is no longer a secret. Founder had been promoting it for several months, taking the opportunity to create momentum for Founder's listing.

Nodding, Li Dongling looked at Yang Bohua and the two, "Old Brother Yang, everyone is 'our own people,' so just say what you have to say!"

"Good!"

Yang Bohua put the teacup aside, "I came back to Hanxi this time, actually it was the meaning of the post and telecommunications department, mainly for the acquisition of Hong Kong Telecom!"

Li Dongling heard this, couldn't help but frown, didn't speak first, and turned the imitation antique teacup in his hand.

Coughing, Song Luancheng said, "Actually, the domestic telecommunications industry has been paying attention to Hong Kong Telecom, but you also know that the situation in Xiangjiang has been very special in the past few years. State-owned telecommunications companies like Telecom and Unicom are not convenient to intervene directly in this matter!"

"But just like the sentence you said when you accepted the exclusive interview with *Asia Weekly*, Hong Kong Telecom is absolutely not allowed to fall into the hands of overseas companies!"

Yang Bohua looked at Li Dongling and said, "Originally, we were not that anxious, but now the situation has changed.

The parent company of Hong Kong Telecom, Cable & Wireless, has a new president this year. He wants to get rid of Hong Kong Telecom as soon as possible and concentrate Cable & Wireless's business on the European market and other emerging telecommunications industries.

On the other side, Singapore Telecom also has a new president, Li Xianyang of the Singapore Li family. After he takes office, he will definitely do a big job.

There are rumors that the two new presidents of Cable & Wireless and Singapore Telecom intend to start contact and discuss Singapore Telecom's acquisition of Hong Kong Telecom!"

Yang Bohua and the post and telecommunications department know the situation much more detailed than the media. The new president transferred to Cable & Wireless is clearly specifically here to handle the sale of Hong Kong Telecom.

As for the new president of Singapore Telecom, it just fulfills that sentence: don't be afraid of the second generation of the rich spending money, be afraid of the second generation of the rich being ambitious.

This new president of Singapore Telecom is clearly preparing to do a big job, proving his ability to the Singapore Li family, claiming to build Singapore Telecom into the world's sixth-largest telecommunications group, and after acquiring Hong Kong Telecom, enter markets such as Japan, India, Australia, and Southeast Asia.

Li Dongling looked at Yang Bohua and Song Luancheng. Before, Li Dongling had also considered whether to acquire Hong Kong Telecom. This matter has both risks and opportunities.

But this time, Yang Bohua took the initiative to come over on behalf of the post and telecommunications department, clearly wanting Dongling Gao Ke to take action and take down Hong Kong Telecom.

Regardless of how he thinks in his heart, Li Dongling is clear that at this time, it is time to fight for chips. Wanting to acquire Hong Kong Telecom is by no means an easy task. The post and telecommunications department wants Dongling Gao Ke to take the field, so they must give enough support!

Shaking his head, Li Dongling said, "Hong Kong Telecom is really too expensive. It's not something Dongling Gao Ke can eat now. If it's not good, the teeth might collapse, and also..."

"Dongling Gao Ke is also a mainland company. If it directly takes the field to grab Hong Kong Telecom, will it cause public opinion in Xiangjiang..."

Yang Bohua heard this, his heart tightened, and he hurriedly said, "We all know the relationship between Dongling Gao Ke and Xiangjiang's Ning family company. If we really want to acquire it, we can unite with the Ning family company to acquire it together. No one can object!"

"But it's too expensive. If Dongling Gao Ke acquires it, the cost will be too high. The cash flow will be exhausted, and a large loan will be needed. The risk is really too high!"

In front of Yang Bohua, Li Dongling kept complaining, with an expression of not being interested in Hong Kong Telecom, denying it three times in a row, not willing to let Dongling Gao Ke be involved for the sake of Hong Kong Telecom.

Seeing Li Dongling's "firm" expression, Yang Bohua and Song Luancheng couldn't help but have a headache.

Domestically, there are naturally a lot of companies interested in Hong Kong Telecom, not only the telecommunications industry, but also banks, state investment, and other units. After all, Hong Kong Telecom is still a cash cow now, earning billions of US dollars in cash every year.

But next year, Xiangjiang will return, which is the most sensitive time. At this time, state-owned enterprises taking the field to acquire Hong Kong Telecom will inevitably cause some storms, so it can only be acquired by private enterprises.

But looking at the domestic private companies, which one can compare to the booming Dongling Gao Ke? And there is another reason that cannot be made public: no matter which domestic company acquires Hong Kong Telecom, who dares to say they can definitely manage it well? If it's not managed well, it might become a big mess.

In contrast, handing it over to Dongling Gao Ke, which has performed the most brilliantly in recent years, to manage Hong Kong Telecom makes the post and telecommunications department and many departments in Yanjing feel more at ease!

But now, Li Dongling simply didn't take the bait, leaving Yang Bohua helpless. Yang Bohua glanced at Song Luancheng, and after the two exchanged a look, Song Luancheng spoke up, "Dongling High-Tech will not be left to fight alone; the telecommunications sector and other domestic departments, units, and companies will all provide support to Dongling High-Tech!"

"If Dongling Gao Ke is willing to join the acquisition, we can guarantee that the Bank of China can provide special interest-free acquisition funds, which can only be used to acquire Hong Kong Telecom!"

Yang Bohua said. Seeing that Li Dongling still didn't speak, he had to say again, "If Dongling Gao Ke is willing, this time you go to Xiangjiang, the post and telecommunications department can support Dongling Gao Ke in obtaining a portion of Hong Kong Telecom's equity!"

"The Xiangjiang Taifu Group is planning to acquire China Light and Power and wants to sell the 8% Hong Kong Telecom equity it holds in exchange for funds to acquire China Light and Power."

The parent company of Xiangjiang Taifu is CITIC. This 8% equity can definitely be obtained. Obtaining this 8% Hong Kong Telecom equity occupies an acquisition advantage!"

In the acquisition stage, every 1% of equity may eventually change the situation of the war. Obtaining this 8% Hong Kong Telecom equity, whether it is to continue the acquisition or throw it out at a high stock price to make a big profit, is an advantage.

Yang Bohua's proposal is already quite sincere. As long as Dongling Gao Ke enters the field, the post and telecommunications department will coordinate to let Dongling Gao Ke obtain this 8% Hong Kong Telecom equity, which is equivalent to having an admission ticket to acquire Hong Kong Telecom.

But Li Dongling looked at Yang Bohua and said, "If you join the war to acquire Hong Kong Telecom, you cannot use Dongling Gao Ke's equity to mortgage the loan!"

Hearing Li Dongling's words, Yang Bohua's face changed. Li Dongling's meaning is very clear: Dongling Gao Ke can take the field, but Li Dongling cannot use Dongling Gao Ke's equity to exchange for acquisition funds and put Dongling Gao Ke in danger. ===== CHAPTER 430 =====
