Chapter 268 A Christmas Gift From Yang Ming to Hong Kong Investors

Chapter 268 A Christmas gift from Yang Ming to Hong Kong investors!

Fireworks party at the Repulse Bay Mid-Levels Villa.

It lit up the sky over Repulse Bay and even Deep Water Bay.

It lit up the sky over Lamma Island.

. . .

Yang Ming, Governor Mai Lihao, and Shen Yi were drinking there, enjoying the fireworks outside.

This fireworks show.

It lasted from about eight o'clock in the evening to about ten o'clock in the evening.

If it weren't for the possibility of affecting other people's rest and attracting a bad reputation, it would be fine to keep going until twelve o'clock in the evening.

Christmas dinner tonight.

And tonight's Christmas fireworks party officially ended.

Yang Ming went out in person to see Governor Mai Lihao and his wife off to the Governor's Mansion's special car.

When Mai Lihao and his wife left in the car, Yang Ming chatted with Shen Yi for a while, and Shen Yi and his wife also got on his Bentley and left here.

For Yang Ming, tonight's fireworks party is not just the beginning and the end.

When Yang Ming went up to the study.

Mai Lisi, Ma Shimin, Wei Li, Wei Peter, Bao Fuda, Li Caixin, Kaila, Tang Shilian, Lin Xiuzhi.

"Tonight's fireworks are beautiful, right?"

"Boss, the fireworks are really beautiful tonight." Mai Lisi said.

. . .

"These fireworks not only illuminate the sky above Deep Water Bay and Repulse Bay, but also illuminate Lamma Island in the distance."

When Yang Ming mentioned Lamma Island.

Mai Lisi and others were thoughtful.

Since 1978, the Hong Kong Electric Company has invested in a large-scale power plant on Lamma Island.

Looking from here to Lamma Island, you can still see it clearly during the day.

It's dark at night and you can't see it.

"Mailisi, the plan can start."

"Yes, boss."

Except for Kaila, everyone else left the Yang family's Repulse Bay Mid-Levels Villa, even Xijiao Youhong and his wife went back.

They drank tonight, it was not safe to drive, so Yang Ming sent bodyguards to send them home in person.

These people left, but Kayla was still here.

Seeing Ah Zhu, Cherie Chung came in with a young beauty.

"Mr. Yang, the fireworks tonight are so beautiful."

Guan Jiahui really thought that the fireworks tonight were specially set off by Mr. Yang for her.

Yang Ming smiled and said, "Have you all received the Christmas gifts?"

"Master, I received them."

"Young Master Yang, I received mine too."

"Then you go to rest first, and don't come here tonight."

Guan Jiahui wanted to say something, but Ah Zhu and Cherie Chung took Guan Jiahui away.

Yang Ming looked at Kayla and asked, "Kayla, what Christmas gift do you want?"

"Me? I don't need it."

Yang Ming took Kayla's hand and stuffed her with an exquisite box.

. . .

0:00 in the morning.

The time came to December 26, 1978.

Today is the second day of Christmas.

However, many reporters in Hong Kong suddenly received news from the Empire Group, inviting them to attend a very important press conference of the Empire Group.

In the middle of the night?

The Empire Group held a press conference?

This is not the first time.

Like before, when Empire Group acquired Wharf Holdings, Hutchison Whampoa, and even Jardine Matheson Land, they chose to do it very late. They guessed that it might be related to the acquisition of a certain company.

Many reporters did not stay at home any longer. They immediately took their lunch and drove to the Federal Building in a hurry.

Now the Empire Group and Empire Games Company in the Federal Building.

Brightly lit.

Those reporters came from all over Hong Kong, and some even came from Lan Kwai Fong.

0:30 in the morning.

Empire Group meeting room.

In the meeting room.

In addition to Mai Lisi, Tang Shilian, Lin Xiuzhi, Wei Li, Ma Shimin and others appeared here.

There were nearly a hundred reporters who came.

Others who had not arrived yet were catching the car at this time.

Because it was Christmas, many reporters might also be resting. They did not expect the Empire Group to hold a press conference suddenly.

"I'm sorry to the journalists who haven't come on time. From now on, the Empire Group's press conference will be officially released tonight."

"Here, on behalf of the Empire Group and Chairman Mr. Yang, I wish the citizens of Hong Kong and the journalists present a happy Christmas."

"In addition, I will send a Christmas gift to the investors in Hong Kong on behalf of Mr. Yang."

"Mr. Mai Lisi, what gift will Mr. Yang send?"

The journalists present immediately asked curiously.

. . .

Mai Lisi paused deliberately.

"Next, I officially announce the press conference on the Empire Group's additional purchase of Hong Kong Electric Company."

Mailisi said.

The journalists present were really shocked. It turned out that the Empire Group was really acquiring a new company.

This company is the Hong Kong Electric Company, which ranks fourth in market value among listed companies in Hong Kong.

"The Empire Group has bought 11% of the shares of Hong Kong Electric in the past six months, Wharf Holdings has bought 7%, Hutchison Whampoa Group has bought 5%, and Jardine Land has also bought 5%. These shares add up to 28% of the shares, and have long been the largest shareholder of Hong Kong Electric. In order to protect the interests of the Empire Group in Hong Kong Electric, the Empire Group now formally proposes to all investors of Hong Kong Electric to increase their shares to 49%."

"Among them, the share price of Hong Kong Electric on the previous trading day was 5.55 yuan per share. On this basis, the purchase will be made at a premium of 30%, that is, 7.22 yuan per share."

"It will still be registered at the Central Branch of Hutchison Securities and the Wanzi Branch of Hutchison Securities. The registration time is 8 am on December 26, 1978."

. . .

Purchase at a premium of 30% of the previous trading price of Hong Kong Electric?

Compared with the acquisition of Wharf by Empire Group and even the acquisition of Jardine Matheson Land by ten times of market value, this 30% price is indeed not high.

The acquisition of Hong Kong Electric Company now is completely different from the acquisition of Wharf and Jardine Matheson Land.

"Mr. Yang, is this the Christmas gift for Hong Kong investors?"

"Yes, this is Mr. Yang's Christmas gift to Hong Kong Electric Company investors. As I said before, I would like to remind Hong Kong Electric Company investors again that the first-come-first-served principle applies."

As the fourth largest listed company in Hong Kong, with a market value of 3 billion Hong Kong dollars, Hong Kong Electric Company's influence is indeed far behind Wharf and Jardine Matheson Land.

Today, Empire Group is already the largest shareholder of Hong Kong Electric Company. Now it is only purchasing 21% more shares to control Hong Kong Electric Company.

Compared with the acquisition of Wharf, Hutchison Whampoa, and even Jardine Matheson Land, it is much worse. However, compared with the acquisition of Rediffusion Television and Hong Kong Water Company, the scale is also much larger.

The most important thing is that Empire Group and its subsidiaries have already bought a lot of shares of Hong Kong Electric Company, and investors in the market have not yet reacted.

"Tonight's press conference is over. I wish you all a happy Christmas again!"

. . .

When some of the reporters almost stuffed the microphones in front of Mai Lisi, Wei Li and others, Mai Lisi said: "We can give everyone half an hour for the interview."

After learning the news, another part of the reporters immediately left the Empire Group meeting room and took the elevator to leave here.

Not long after.

It was reported in Hong Kong that Hong Kong Electric Company, the fourth largest listed company in Hong Kong by market value, would also change tonight.
