Chapter 808 Xiangjiang Electric Chapter Company!

Yang Ming stood in front of the window, looking outside, and thought of his mobile phone.

Between now and his previous life, what Yang Ming finds most inconvenient may be instant messaging.

In his previous life, he had a mobile phone and he could contact him anytime and anywhere as long as there was signal. Now he only has a landline phone or a car phone.

However, Yang Ming knew that the world's first mobile phone should be launched soon.

The world's first mobile phone was invented by Martin Cooper, a technician at Motorola.

In April 1973, Martin Cooper, a technician at the famous Motorola company in China, invented the world's first mobile phone that could be used by civilians.

When the first mobile phone was invented and Martin Cooper used it to make calls, it could use any radio frequency band to make calls. In fact, the first generation of analog mobile phones used different frequencies to distinguish different mobile phones and different users. .

The birth of the first mobile phone model allowed people to see the hope of wireless communication, but it has been 10 years since mobile phones were actually put on the market. From 1973 to 1983, Martin Cooper led his team to carry out 5 technical innovations on the first mobile phone, each time successfully making the mobile phone smaller and lighter.

As a result, the world's first market-oriented mobile phone was the DynaTAC 1983X released by Motorola in April 4.

It was already the end of February 1983, and there was still more than a month before the world's first mobile phone would be launched.

Motorola spent a lot of time on this first place, and there was no need for Yang Ming to grab it.

He knew that the advent of the mobile phone era meant that the world was about to enter the era of global communications.

At this time, Yang Ming thought of it.

Before mobile phone communications became popular around the world, landline phones were actually the most practical thing for most citizens in Hong Kong.

Even then, not every household in Xiangjiang can afford to install a landline phone. Only the rich can afford it.

Hong Kong Telephone Company.

The market value of Hong Kong Telephone Company is nearly HK$40 billion.

Ranked ninth among listed companies in Heung Kong, Heung Kong Telephone operates services including local calls, international long-distance calls, text services, etc.

It has 65 terminal buildings across Hong Kong, with a total line capacity of 193 million, of which % are telephone users.

Among them, the Hong Kong Telephone Company is a very profitable company, similar to the Hong Kong Electric Light Company.

Prior to this, Jardine Matheson Group was the largest shareholder of Xiangjiang Electric Lighting Company, occupying 38.8% of the shares.

However, historically, in order to protect Jardine Matheson Land from being swallowed up by Chinese capital, Niu Bijian and Simon Yosek of Jardine Matheson Group not only carried out cross-holding through their listed companies, but also sold some assets.

Including, for example, 38.8% of the shares of its Xiangjiang Electric Lighting Company were sold to the Dadong Telegraph Group of Country Y.

In other words, historically, the Xiangjiang Electric Lighting Company was eventually acquired by the Dadong Telegraph Group of Country Y, and merged with the Dadong Telegraph Group of Xiangjiang to become the Xiangjiang Telecommunications Company.

Later, when Xiangjiang Telecommunications Company was about to be sold to Singapore by Country Y's Dadong Telegraph Group, it was acquired by Li Jiacheng's second son, PCCW Technology Company, and became PCCW, the most important asset and company of Li Jiacheng's family.

Today, Yang Ming is thinking about Xiangjiang Telephone Company.

He knew that it was certainly impossible for Xiangjiang Telephone Company to be sold to the Dadong Telegraph Group of Country Y.

Not only cannot it be sold to the other party, but it must also find a way to acquire the Xiangjiang Dadong Telegraph Group.

As early as 1936, Country Y's Dadong Telegraph Group had officially entered the Xiangjiang telecommunications market.

During this period, Country Y Dadong's business in Xiangjiang developed rapidly.

In 1948, Country Y Dadong took over the telecommunications department of the Government-General's Post Office, including radio station projects, installation of communication equipment at Kai Tak Airport, meteorological communications at the Observatory, etc.

In 1950, Country Y Dadong built the Mercury Building in Wan Chai as its administrative headquarters and international telecommunications technology center in Hong Kong.

In 1969, Ying Tai Tung set up a satellite ground communication station in Stanley to establish telecommunications connections with other parts of the world through two telecommunications satellites located over the Pacific and Indian Oceans.

With the rapid development of the telecommunications business, Y Country Dadong rebuilt the Mercury Building in Wan Chai and built the Kowloon International Telecommunications Building in 1973 and 1975 respectively.

The new Mercury Building continues to serve as the Hong Kong administrative headquarters of the group. Two optical fiber cables are laid between the two telecommunications buildings for telecommunications connection.

In the 1970s, Dadong of Country Y also established two subsidiaries in Xiangjiang to engage in non-patent business: Asia Computer Co., Ltd. and Dadong Communication Systems Co., Ltd.

The former mainly provides data processing services to Tai Tung's customers in Hong Kong, of which Tai Tung holds a 70% stake; the latter is mainly engaged in the design and management of telecommunications projects, the distribution of specialized telecommunications equipment, data equipment and the provision of related professional services.

In June 1981, the Dadong Telegraph Bureau of Country Y was reorganized and renamed Dadong Telegraph Bureau Public Co., Ltd. and was listed in London.

Country Y is the company's major shareholder, owning 50% plus 1 share of Dadong Telegraph Bureau's common stock.

According to the company's articles of association, no person or institution other than the government of country Y may hold 15% or more of the company's equity. The company's chief executive must be a citizen of country Y to ensure that the government of country Y controls the company.

At that time, Dadong Telegraph Group had become one of the world's largest telecommunications groups, operating telecommunications services in 38 countries and regions around the world, with operations in the Far East, South Pacific, Middle East and Africa.

In October of the same year, Tai Tung Telegraph Group and the Governor-General's Office of Hong Kong merged to form Xiangjiang Tai Tung Telegraph Bureau Co., Ltd., with Tai Tung Telegraph Office holding 10% of the company's shares and the Government-General's Office holding 80%.

The Hong Kong Tai Tung Telegraph Bureau took over all the assets and businesses of Country Y's Tai Tung Telegraph Group in Hong Kong, including the operation of international telecommunications, installation of radar and navigation instruments, communication services at Kai Tak Airport, program production of radio and television stations controlled by the Hong Kong government, and the City Hall And the audio equipment of Tsuen Wan Town Hall, the computer operation of Hong Kong Space Museum and Queen Elizabeth Museum, etc.

而总督府则重新向香江大东颁发国际电讯专利牌照，年期从1981年10月1日起，至2006年6月30日止，为期25年。

At that time, Xiangjiang Dadong occupied an important position in Dadong Telegraph Group. According to the information disclosed when Dadong was listed, as of the end of March 1981, Xiangjiang Dadong's turnover and profit accounted for respectively Reaching 3% and 29%, they are known as the "golden goose" in Dadong's hands.

Entering the 97s, is getting closer and closer.

Country Y, as the largest shareholder of Dadong Telegraph Group, obviously knows this best.

With the arrival of 1997 in Hong Kong, it has become doubtful whether Dadong Group can continue to operate its telecommunications business in Hong Kong, especially since the telecommunications industry is an important lifeline of the national economy and involves important secrets.

To this end, Dadong Telegraph Group began to deploy its long-term development strategy in Hong Kong to ensure Dadong's long-term interests in Hong Kong after 1997.

Obviously, the establishment of Xiangjiang Dadong in 1981 was the first step in its entire careful strategic plan and the first step towards localization.

But the present is not what it was historically.

Yang Ming knew that for him, Xiangjiang Telephone Company was not just about laying golden eggs and making stable profits, but more importantly, it involved information confidentiality.

Especially now that the Imperial Group is contacted by phone, etc., it is even more impossible for him to hand this company into the hands of others.
