Volume 4: The World of Great Conflict Chapter 0482 Eastern Telegraph Bureau
"Kangcheng Yingni's closing price today is 32.2, and investors are very enthusiastic about it. It will rise again when the market opens tomorrow. I estimate that it will rise to around 40 at the close tomorrow. If it is pushed further, it can rise to around 43 yuan at the close."
Zhao Shixian recovered and said to Nan Yi, "Now that the stock price has reached 45 yuan, if we want it to go up further, we need new good news. Is your foreign wife ready?"
"Okay, stop talking so harshly. What's the use of calling her a foreign woman or not? She has a name and surname."
"Huh, and I knew she was a noble. How sharp." Zhao Shixian said sourly.
"Don't go on and on. Just get it done. Meet with Catherine tomorrow and discuss how to cooperate to drive up the stock price as quickly as possible. Cash out the 26.5% stake and try to get more than 400 million Hong Kong dollars in return."
"Let alone 400 million, even 500 million is not a big problem, as long as every step is done perfectly and there are no mistakes that the Supervisory Committee can find fault with. There will definitely be no problems on my side, it depends on the other links."
"The other links have been carefully arranged, so there won't be any problems." Nan Yi lifted the air-conditioning blanket and covered Zhao Shixian's bare back. "It's getting late, let's go to bed."
"You go to sleep first. I want to watch A Thousand Colors."
Nan Yi asked in surprise: "Why did you think of watching mainland programs? Shouldn't we watch "Happy Tonight" at this time?"
"I watched half of it last Saturday, and I'll watch the other half tonight when it's rerun."
Zhao Shixian picked up the TV remote control and quickly switched to the Guangdong Provincial Channel, watching it with relish. Nan Yi took a look and didn't have any interest, so he fell asleep directly.
…
The next day, 8:30 am, in the cafe of the Mandarin Oriental Hotel.
"Shixian Zhao, my woman." Nan Yi first introduced Zhao Shixian to Catherine, and then pointed at Catherine and introduced her to Zhao Shixian: "Catherine Bolin, my woman, you two should talk slowly and properly, it's best not to fight... You can fight, but don't hit her in the face."
Zhao Shixian and Catherine just looked at each other. There was no hostility between them, but they rolled their eyes at Nan Yi at the same time.
After enduring the two people's cold stares, Nan Yi smiled, stood up and said, "I have something else to do in the morning, you two can talk. Catherine, give me your business card, I will need it later."
"Adam, where are you going?" Catherine said as she took out her business card.
"I have an appointment with Farrier, president of the Oriental Telegraph Company, to have lunch with him."
"for you."
After taking Catherine's business card, Nan Yi said goodbye to the two women and left.
As soon as he walked out of the hotel door, a whistle sounded in Nan Yi's ears, "Handsome guy, where are you going? I have a car, do you want me to give you a ride?"
"Why are you still here? Why haven't you left yet?"
Following the voice, Nan Yi walked up to Nan Ruoyin, who was sitting on the hood of the car wearing a pink T-shirt, denim overalls, and a pair of bright red cat-shaped sunglasses, and asked, "Aren't you going to ask a Feng Shui master to look at the land today?"
"Dad, have you been confused by a woman? I'm just a kid, who would care about me? I've found Aunt Liang, and she has sent someone to help me see a Feng Shui master."
"Remember, you must distinguish between public and private matters in the future. You can no longer ask Huiwen for your own private affairs. I will notify Qian Haohui to arrange two full-time lawyers for you, and then let Yamei split off a small Nanban Office from the Nanban Office. From now on, let the small Nanban Office be responsible for your own private affairs."
Nan Ruoyin jumped down from the front of the car, pulled Nan Yi's sleeve and said with a smile: "Xiao Nan will do it. Great. I also have my own secretarial team. Dad, can we discuss it again?"
"You don't have to say it. I know what you want to say. Dad will take care of the salaries of the staff in Xiaonan Office. You little girl, you just know how to rip off your dad. I have a pity on you, your dad, who is so poor."
"Hehe, Dad, you are so capable, it's not easy for you to earn some pocket money. Dad, come on. I'll go first. I have to go to the University of International Business and Education to attend classes today. I won't be back until four in the afternoon." Nan Ruoyin patted Nan Yi's arm, encouraged him, then opened the car door and got in.
Gone!
Looking at the exhaust of the car, Nan Yi shook his head.
After a while, he also got into his car, "School Beauty, let's go to Quarry Bay Park for a while. It's still early. I'll read the newspaper first."
"OK."
On the way, he found a newsstand on the corner and bought a stack of newspapers. When he arrived at the park, Nan Yi found a chair in the corner and sat down to read the newspaper.
There was nothing worth noting in today's newspaper. Even reading the celebrity gossip took Nan Yi less than an hour.
Seeing that Nan Yi had put away the newspaper, the school beauty walked up to Nan Yi and said, "Nan Sheng, I want to talk to you about something."
"Sit down and talk." Nan Yi patted the chair and said.
The school beauty sat next to Nan Yi and said, "I have saved a lot of money in the past few years, but I have never had any place to spend it. I want to invest the money. Nan Sheng, where do you think I should invest it?"
"How much have you saved?"
"I saved all my salary over the years, except for the $100,000 I gave to my family. I hardly spent any money."
"Oh, there are quite a few." Nan Yi pondered for a moment and said, "Well, don't worry, the Information and Strategy Committee is already planning to establish a Nan's Employees Committee, which will represent the rights and interests of all Nan's employees.
A pension fund will be established under this committee, and your pension will be paid out by the pension fund after you retire.
In addition, a big pie fund will be established. This fund holds shares of Nan's companies. The specific shares have not yet been determined. In the future, some employees of each company will hold a certain share of the shares of the company they serve and receive dividends every year. After leaving or retiring, the right to dividends will be reclaimed free of charge.
Your job is a bit special, and there is no profit sharing. My original idea was to set up a defense fund, inject a certain amount of funds every year, and then give you a lump sum pension when you retire.
It now seems that the fund will further expand its functions, and the idle funds of the defense team members will also be entrusted to this fund.
But forget about your money. Since you have been with me all the time, you don’t have much chance to spend it. If you can save money, you can take out half of your money and buy some property in Xiangkeng. You should be able to buy two luxury houses.
I will put the remaining half of the money into my private savings, and you will get a share of my personal investments in the future.
In the future, the rent from the properties you own will allow you to live comfortably, and combined with your pension, retirement benefits and savings, your retirement life will be very secure, and you can even support a few gigolos."
Before the school beauty could react to Nan Yi's joke, her phone rang.
He picked up the phone and listened for a moment, then handed it to Nan Yi, "Nan Sheng, it's the old lady calling."
"Grandma, what's the matter?" Nan Yi said as he took the phone.
" Where is my eldest grandson ?"
“In the park.”
"I have something that I need your help with."
"Oh, my grandma, is there anything you can't do yourself that you need me to do?" Nan Yi said with a smile.
"Stop talking nonsense. It's not convenient for me to intervene in this matter. Your grandfather has an old subordinate named Li Zhiyuan. Back then, his wife Yue Guoying and eldest son Li Jianjun came to Xiangkeng. By some strange coincidence, Li Zhiyuan and Yue Guoying both remarried. Now Li Jianjun has encountered some problems. You go and help him."
Fang Mengyin explains the relationships between the characters clearly and concisely.
"Escape to Hong Kong?"
"right."
"You must help?"
"You have to help. The Nan family owes Li Zhiyuan a favor, and you also benefit from this favor. You have an obligation to repay it." Fang Mengyin said affirmatively.
"Okay, you don't want to die? If you don't want to die, just wait. I have a lot of things to do."
"It's hard to explain over the phone, send someone over to listen."
"Grandma, are you in the group office?"
"I won't go out today. Send someone over anytime."
"Okay, half an hour."
After Nan Yi finished speaking, he hung up the phone and said to the school beauty: "Send someone to Fang Group to find my grandmother and find out what happened."
"OK."
The school beauty agreed and arranged for someone to go to Fang Group.
Nan Yi then sat in Quarry Bay Park for a while before taking a bus to Hong Kong Club.

The Oriental Telegraph Company was founded in 1872 and was the world's first international telegraph company. It was initially a privately held company. After the end of World War I, the territory of the Eagle Empire accounted for a quarter of the earth's area, and the Oriental Telegraph Company became the communication hub of the Great Eagle Empire.
In 1947, the Commonwealth established the Communications Commission and the Oriental Telegraph Office was nationalized;
In 1981, Oriental Telegraph was privatized and a number of private shareholders were added, but the majority of the shares were still controlled by Downing Street; in the same year, Oriental Telegraph was reorganized and officially registered in Hong Kong as "Oriental Telegraph (Hong Kong) Co., Ltd."
Last year, the Oriental Telegraph Company acquired the Hong Kong Telephone Company from Jardine Matheson, and all of Hong Kong's internal and external communication services are now handled by the Oriental Telegraph Company.
In the same year, Oriental Telegraph Bureau and Shenzhen Telephone Company jointly established Shenzhen University Telephone Company to operate the public electrification services in Shenzhen and Shenzhen urban area, and to provide long-distance and international telephone services to users through the long-distance and international facilities of Shenzhen Post and Telecommunications Bureau.
Before 1982, the Oriental Telegraph Office had no business in the UK. Its main business was in the Commonwealth region, and it had communications business in Hong Kong, Macau and India.
Because most of the Oriental Telegraph Office's business was not in Britain, the political resistance to privatization was the lowest, so Thatcher chose it to be the first company to be privatized.
After the privatization of the Oriental Telegraph Bureau, it began to cut costs and at the same time increased the remuneration and dividends of the management. This increased the stock price to a certain extent. However, after all, it had been a state-owned enterprise for decades and its backbones were all "state-owned enterprise people", so naturally there were common problems of state-owned enterprises.
Due to the common problems of state-owned enterprises
Nan Yi remembered that in his previous life, there should have been a "Xiangkeng Telecom" in Xiangkeng. This company almost monopolized Xiangkeng's fixed-line business, but this company does not exist in Xiangkeng now. He guessed that there are only three possibilities:
One of the Hong Kong Oriental Telegraph Bureau and the Hong Kong Telephone was reorganized or acquired to become "Hong Kong Telecommunications"; or the two were merged and reorganized or acquired to become "Hong Kong Telecommunications".
There is only one of these three possibilities. "Hong Kong Telecom" cannot be a new company that emerges at some point in the future. This is simply unrealistic. Just think about it and you will understand how much it will cost for a new company to rebuild a telephone network covering the entire Hong Kong.
This is a private company's project, not a government communications project, so there is no such thing as expropriation.
If you drill a hole in someone's wall or install a wiring box, you will inevitably have to pay compensation. Once these costs are spent, you can't expect to make a profit for decades unless the telephone bills are sky-high.
Therefore, Hong Kong Telecom must have been established on the basis of an old company and cannot be a newly established company.
It was because of this that Nan Yi developed a keen interest in the Oriental Telegraph Bureau.
Causeway Bay Typhoon Shelter.
Qili Island, the location of the Xiangkeng Yacht Club.
On the pier, Nan Yi shook hands with a middle-aged white man in his fifties.
"Adam Nan."
"David Farrier, there are too many people named David, Mr. Adam can just call me Farrier." Farrier said.
"Mr. Farrier, you can just call me Adam. Let's go on the yacht first, fishing, enjoying the sea breeze, tasting red wine, and eating seafood. This will be a great enjoyment."
"I believe so. When I have free time, I like to go out to sea and enjoy the tranquility of the ocean," said Farrier.
"OK, let's go."
Nan Yi made a gesture of invitation, inviting Farrier to board the yacht.
