When he arrived at the Kowloon Hotel, Xia Yu met the heads of the two newspapers "Nanyang Siang Pau" and "Sin Chew Daily". After getting to know them, he first welcomed them and appeased their emotions. After all, they were only the heads of their respective newspaper offices. Shares are a decision of their respective bosses.

Presumably they were also uneasy at this time, Xia Yu naturally had to appease him, lest they resign later, which would cause him trouble.

After that, Xia Yu put Yan Wenhan in charge. Nanyang Siang Pau and Sin Chew Daily are newspapers under the Jiuding Newspaper Company from now on, and Yan Wenhan, the general manager, should be directly in charge.

A few days later, good news came from HSBC, which has acquired the shares of nine other shareholders, with a total of 31.9% of the shares, which is very efficient.

31.9% of the shares were also sold to Jiuding Newspaper Company for a total of 3.9 million Hong Kong dollars, which is equivalent to a premium of 20%.

As for how much money HSBC bought and how much money it made, Xia Yu can't control it.

On the other hand, the action of Jiuding Securities Co., Ltd. is also quite fast. In a few days, the shares scattered on the stock market have been acquired to 21%.

Therefore, Jiuding Newspaper Company already owns 84.9% of the shares, and Xia Yu does not plan to buy it slowly from the stock market, because there are only 15.1% of the stocks circulating in the market. The fewer the stocks, the more sensitive the price. The stock price will definitely rise.

Therefore, Xia Yu did not hesitate, and directly concentrated all the equity in the hands of Jiuding Newspaper Company, and then announced the completion of absolute control, and at the same time immediately applied to the exchange for delisting and privatization.

With such a high shareholding ratio, there was no accident. The exchange directly agreed to the application of Jiuding Newspaper Company, and the South China Morning Post was suspended from trading on the same day.

The news was naturally spread out, and in an instant, there was an uproar in the press.

The South China Morning Post, the No. 1 English-language newspaper in sales, is actually controlled by Jiuding Newspaper Company, and is being privatized!

Other colleagues, whether it is Ming Pao, Sing Pao, Hong Kong Economic Journal, etc., expressed their shock.

And the most uncomfortable is Hu Xian of Sing Tao News Group.

In the area of ​​Chinese newspapers, Jiuding Newspaper Company was overwhelmed and had to take risks and spend huge sums of money to build Sing Tao News Agency in order to make a breakthrough.

However, before the Sing Tao News Agency was established, Jiuding Newspaper Company took control of the South China Morning Post, and the privatization was about to be completed.

His own "Standard" was again crushed by Jiuding Newspaper Company.

This news made Hu Xian's face look ugly to death.

It's just that the worst is yet to come.

It seems that in order to join in the fun, I don’t know who disclosed to the media that Jiuding Newspaper Company has spent 12 million Hong Kong dollars to acquire the major Malaysian newspaper “Nanyang Siang Pau”, 11 million Hong Kong dollars to acquire “Sin Chew Daily”, and 2.2 million Hong Kong dollars to acquire the local Hong Kong Newspaper "Daily Daily".

These news broke out in succession, and all the people who were paying close attention to the matter were dizzy and even numb.

Pan Yuesheng, the deputy editor-in-chief of Ming Pao, which is in charge of the management and operation of the newspaper, reported the matter to Jin Yong immediately. At that time, the two were speechless at each other in the office.

After a long time, Pan Yuesheng let out a powerless sigh: "Tsk tsk, the four newspapers have already cost 25.2 million Hong Kong dollars, and the South China Morning Post will cost at least about 11 million Hong Kong dollars. The acquisition cost at least HK$36 million."

"Jiuding Newspaper Company is invincible. Xia Yu is really generous, and in the entire newspaper industry, he is the only one with such great skill and ability."

Jin Yong also helped his glasses, shook his head and sighed: "Indeed, he can spend the entire newspaper industry with 36 million Hong Kong dollars. The future generations are terrifying! The latter generations are terrifying!"

"Yuesheng, compared with Xia Yu, we have lived a lot of age to live on dogs."

Jin Yong smiled and said to Pan Yuesheng, Pan Yuesheng shook his head with a wry smile after hearing this.

"Old Cha, this Xia Yu is so powerful. It's not us, but the newspaper queen who is most affected. It is estimated that she is absolutely dumbfounded now. She has tried her best to build Xingdao News Agency and wants to fight against Jiuding Newspaper Company. , It has not been built yet, and it will face the encirclement and suppression of Jiuding Newspaper Company."

"In Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan, the commercial and economic news is suppressed by the "Jiuding Daily", and the political, economic and people's livelihood news fields are facing the impact of the "Fengyun Daily", and now there is a grass-roots entertainment for the people's livelihood. Jiuding Newspaper Company's powerful editorial and distribution system will definitely increase its sales volume."

"In Southeast Asia, "Sing Tao Daily" has to face the pressure of "Jiuding Daily" and "Fengyun Daily", and now there are more "Nanyang Siang Pau" and "Sin Chew Daily" to pursue it together."

"Finally, there is the field of English newspapers. The South China Morning Post is a financial and economic newspaper, and it has always dominated the English Standard. Now which business and financial news is better than the Jiuding Daily? After the Jiuding Newspaper Company After the integration of resources, sales will definitely explode.”

"Presumably that newspaper queen has gone mad at this time."

After the analysis, Pan Yuesheng said in a complicated mood, he didn't know whether he should gloat or sympathize with Hu Xian, whoever puts this on, everyone will be mad.

Pan Yuesheng really guessed Xia Yu's intentions. Although a large part of this series of acquisition plans is to make Jiuding Newspaper Company strengthen and expand by leaps and bounds, the other intention is indeed to encircle and suppress Xingdao. News Corp.

Xia Yu wouldn't keep his hands because Hu Xian was a woman. The shopping mall was like a battlefield, and it was extremely stupid to sympathize with his opponent.

Since Hu Xian has made it clear that he wants to build a news agency to compete with Jiuding News Agency, Xia Yu must take countermeasures in time. Of course, it is impossible to wait until the Xingdao News Agency is established. Island News Corporation plans to deploy, and then profit from it.

This time, Xia Yu's beleaguered handwriting was to bring down the Sing Tao News Group with a single stick, quelling Hu Xian's ambition and securing the monopoly of Jiuding Newspaper Company.

It's a pity that the plan is still not perfect. The four major newspapers have not been integrated and revised before they are exposed. Otherwise, it will take a while for the four major newspapers to digest, and when they break out together, the exposure will be the time when Sing Tao News Group is desperate. .

Now it is exposed, but the momentum is huge, but Sing Tao News Group has not been hit by the real impact.

But there is no way to privatize and acquire a listed company, and there is no way to hide the news anyway.

...

"By the way, Lao Zha, Hu Xian has been looking for us before, wanting to pull us to her unbuilt Sing Tao News Agency, and Jiuding News Agency has been contacting us, we have been vague and didn't want to stand in line. , now it looks like it's time to stand in line."

Thinking of what he had been dodging before, Pan Yuesheng's heart moved and said to Jin Yong.

Jin Yong frowned, then slowly stretched out, and said with some emotion: "Indeed, now is the last chance to stand in line, Hu Xian has no chance of winning, otherwise it will be too late when the outcome is determined."

"Then promise the cooperation of Jiuding News Agency."

"Okay, I'll contact them later." Pan Yuesheng nodded.

Major newspapers such as Ming Pao and Hong Kong Economic Journal have always shied away from cooperating with Jiuding News Agency and Sing Tao News Agency. In the end, they all still expect Sing Tao News Group to overturn the table and Jiuding News Agency. Companies face head-to-head conflict, and they look for opportunities to grow and thrive.

But the current situation has awakened them. They have completely lost confidence in Sing Tao News Group, and they have also extinguished their only desire to compete with Jiuding Newspaper Company, and completely acknowledged Jiuding Newspaper Company's dominance.

Sing Tao News Corporation is so powerful that they have been suppressed like this. Their "Ming Pao" has small arms and calves. In order to avoid being targeted by Jiuding News Corporation like Sing Tao News Corporation, they still maintain their independence and stand in Jiuding News Agency. Take a stand.

At least now is the last chance to stand in line, and you can still choose actively. If you wait until the outcome is already determined, then you will be forced to stand in line, and the gap will be huge.

Although they themselves will also be impacted, the impact is small after all. At most, they may bear the impact of the "Daily Daily" from the mainland in the future. In the case of no resistance, they can only choose to accept their fate and minimize the losses.

This kind of ostrich mentality is not only owned by Ming Pao, but also by some other major newspapers.

This time, they finally, like Jin Yong and Pan Yuesheng, planned to bow their heads completely.

At this moment, the situation is extremely unfavorable for Sing Tao News Corporation! If you want to chat with more like-minded people about "Rebirth of the Most Powerful Tycoon", please follow "Hot Web Articles or" on WeChat to chat with more book friends about your favorite books
