Overbearing Immortal Doctor

Azhe Su was stroking his chin, contemplating something he originally didn’t dare to think about regarding these three telecommunications companies. Suddenly, the thought popped into his mind.

Does Old Li want to sell his ORANGE Telecom?

Azhe Su knew well that Superman Li sold ORANGE Telecom at a high price, making 115 billion!

But when did ORANGE get sold?

Old Li bought ORANGE Telecom obviously not to enter the telecom industry; his intention was to make money.

Azhe Su remembered, it was around 1999 or 2000, but he forgot the exact date. Actually, the date was October 21, 1999.

Old Li approached Azhe Su precisely to discuss this matter.

He felt that selling this company to Azhe Su might be the best choice. He invited Azhe Su to a face-to-face meeting just to hear his opinion. Azhe Su was still unaware; he just felt those three telecom giants were a bit too arrogant, coming to him for a deal, with an air of benevolence. Now, Azhe Su thought it was essential to teach them a lesson.

If possible, buy Old Li’s ORANGE!

I will operate Europe’s telecommunications channels myself!

Europe is home to many countries.

Among these countries, only a few giants hold the pulse of the telecom industry. ORANGE Telecom Company is the largest telecom operator in both France and the United Kingdom, occupying 180% of the telecom business, and has 45 million users... thanks to this, ORANGE ranks third among operators in Europe.

This secures its position in the top three.

Nowadays, the company’s business spans Switzerland, Austria, and Belgium, all five countries use ORANGE Telecom.

This means Old Li’s company.

The acquisition of ORANGE is regarded as Old Li’s most successful acquisition. He spent 10 billion Hong Kong Dollars back in ’94 to buy ORANGE Telecom, and now its market value has soared to billions of US dollars, which is roughly 100 billion Hong Kong Dollars!

In 1998, the company’s stock was the best performer on the French stock market—being a subsidiary of French Telecom, but the actual controlling owner of the company was Superman Li, as everyone knows. It stands to reason that for such a prosperous, valuable company, Li Jiacheng should be reluctant to sell it, but actually, he is already on the verge of doing so.

The reason, of course, stems from the first and second largest two telecom giants.

When the leaders battle, it’s often the third who perishes—this is not uncommon throughout history, and in the face of such bleak prospects, even facing crises, Li Jiacheng ultimately opened his eyes wide and searched for opportunities to reverse the situation and become the ultimate winner.

His openness lies in: the price is right, then sell ORANGE. It’s undeniable that Old Li indeed has some unique insight at times. While Azhe Su was pondering the details about ORANGE Telecom, Lin Youwei suddenly opened his door. Azhe Su calmed his mind while Lin Youwei seemed frustrated and said angrily, "Boss, I heard those three foreigners who just walked out were cursing you, with rather unpleasant words."

They even called Azhe Su short-sighted. You’re the short-sighted ones!

Lin Youwei almost couldn’t help but argue back when she heard them. Actually, I... heard everything. Azhe Su chuckled, saying: "Forget it, different paths, one should not come together."

Su Zhe looked at Lin Youwei: "I’m about to head out, anything you need?"

Um, just wanted to report today’s signing details, and also about BOE’s listing matter I heard about."

Upon hearing about serious matters, Lin Youwei immediately composed herself and said, "Boss, the subscription money for BOE’s listing has been fully completed, and we can apply to the Securities Regulatory Commission for listing and trading!"

But Azhe Su waved his hand: "That’s hardly anything, I originally prepared 500 million investments, ready to open it up a bit more, bring in some heads!"

Lin Youwei quickly caught on.

Yes, bring deeper water big fish.

Azhe Su nodded: "Oh, by the way, how many companies have signed up for telecom in Europe mainly cellphone manufacturers, with Europe’s two big telecom giants Vodafone and Mannesman, they’ve sent representatives here, signing formally tomorrow."

Hmm, refuse to sign then, wait for my call first.

Lin Youwei was a bit puzzled: "Refuse to sign?"

Yes, throw the blame onto Moto and those three companies, saying they upset me last night. Lin Youwei was somewhat amused.

"Just because of this, you want to refuse signing with them?" Of course not, I plan to acquire a European telecom company!

Success or failure depends on today.

Azhe Su mentioned Li Zhongcheng’s ORANGE Telecom, Lin Youwei’s eyes suddenly widened: "Boss, that company is quite expensive, ORANGE’s market value seems to be over 1 trillion isn’t it. 1 trillion... barely, I can still pull it off.

Although Su Xi doesn’t have that much asset, Su Xi has ways to get the money. Okay, but I think, Superman Li won’t easily let go, ORANGE’s company yields excellent returns, and its growth rate is quite rapid. A profitable company like this, how could he be willing to let it go?

Lin Youwei wasn’t very optimistic about Azhe Su, but a smile surfaced on Azhe Su’s face: "Don’t worry, he’ll sell it to me!"

What Lin Youwei admired most about Azhe Su was his confidence, as if nothing in the world could defeat him. "I’ll be off!"

Can I follow and have a look?

Lin Youwei gathered the courage to say, in fact, she wanted to know how Azhe Su would acquire ORANGE?

No, business secret!

Besides, if you go... Old Li might not sell it to me!

As Su Zhe spoke, he brushed past Lin Youwei’s shoulder and walked out towards the corridor. Lin Youwei shrugged helplessly and had to return to her room, sorting through some materials from today. Not far from the Hilton stood a five-star hotel—New World Hotel, an industry under Zheng Yuxing Company’s banner.

Inside the presidential suite 999, occasional sounds of conversation could be heard. Mr. Li, what do you think of this Azhe Su’s character?

Asked a young man who had sat at the table next to Azhe Su during dinner, considered one of the top ten tycoons of Xiang River and a leading figure of the young generation there.

The group under Lin Youwei was indeed remarkable, the one who entered was involved in real estate, a predator. He settled for nothing less than gold and saw the city, R&F Properties are currently a golden name in domestic development.

In Shenzhen and Yue City, both have his company’s real estate projects!

His success story is somewhat similar to Azhe Su’s; he started as a securities analyst, making 20 million Hong Kong Dollars in the stock market to come to the Mainland.

His current fortune has reached 5 billion Hong Kong Dollars.

Azhe Su? Are you really calling Azhe Su by those words?

Li Jiacheng sneered at Li Siliang, he always addressed Azhe Su as Mr. Su, now this 40-year-old young man called him by his name.

Sorry, I’m... accustomed to calling him by that name in front of Li Jiacheng.

Li Siliang dared not utter any bravado, with Zheng Yutong beside him patting his shoulder. When you meet him, you should not address him by his name!
