Was Hutchison Whampoa u. Tom.com gemeinsam haben, die Hongkonk-Chinesen flippen aus !

Seit etwa einem halben Jahr verfolge ich ganz bewußt sämtliche Berichte über `Hutchi`.
Das von dem Milliardär Li Ka-shing geführte Konglomerat verdient nicht nur die beneidenswerte Anerkennung von vielen Wirtschaftsjournalisten als `eines der besten gemanagten Mischunternehmen` (auch Fonds !), nun eilt dem `arbeitenden Milliardär` noch ein Ruf voraus:

=)) `Alles was der anfaßt wird zu Gold`

Hutchi besitzt mehr als 10 % von Mannesmann und ich denke der hat beim Vodafone-Deal am richtigen Rad gedreht (sprich: hat sich seine Zustimmung dick honorieren lassen !).
Wenn sich die neuen Vodafone-Aktionäre noch Gedanken machen wann wohl der richtige Zeitpkt.
zu Gewinn-Mitnahmen gekommen sei, hat der schon längst Cash eingefahren.

Und jetzt gelang der nächste grosse Deal (muß einen guten Draht zur chinesischen Regierung haben!).
Das nur wenige Monate alte Startup Pacific Century Cyber Works (PCCW) - gehört übrigens dem
Sohn von Li Ka-shing - bringt gleichfalls ein Startup (Tom.com, 6 Wochen alte Firma, 700fach überzeichnet !) an den Markt und die Chinesen schlagen sich förmlich um die Neuemission. Emissionsbanken brauchten Polizeischutz. Auch dem Sohn werden die Eigenschaften des Vaters nachgesagt (`anfassen und Gold daraus machen`).

Und wer jetzt glaubt das ganze könne man nicht mehr weiter toppen der irrt.

PCCW erwirbt die Hongkonk Telecom und wirft damit namhafte Firmen wie News Corp. (R. Murdoch, auch kein Unbekannter !) aus dem Rennen.

Ich gehe davon aus, Hutchi hat allerhöchste Ehren von China erhalten und wird protegiert
den chin. Telekom-Markt aufrollen dürfen.

Heute bin ich auf den Zug aufgesprungen. Für 16 EUR geradezu billig. Und dazu braucht man sich
nicht einmal an die stillen Reserven (Mannesmann und andere) von Hutchi erinnern.

INVESCO favorisiert Hutchison Whampoa

Artikel vom 7.12.99 fiel mir gerade in die Hände. M.M. nach aktuell wie nie zuvor.

Darin empfiehlt Invesco (u. das sind auch nicht gerade `Erfolglose`):
a) Legend, chin. PC-Hersteller (`erfolgversprechend`),
b) Hutchi (`erstklassiges Management`,`in allen zukunfträchtigen Bereichen gut positioniert`)

Nach dem Börsengang von Tom.com wurde bekanntgegeben, daß Hutchi zusammen mit Legend die
Breitband-Technologie in China einführen möchte.

Zieht Eure Schlüsse daraus.

Internet Capital Group and Hutchison Whampoa Form Two New Companies to Tap Tremendous B-2-B E-Commerce Potential in Asia
ICGE

HONG KONG, Mar 8, 2000 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- Internet Capital Group (Nasdaq: ICGE ), the leading business-to-business e-commerce company, and Hutchison Whampoa Ltd. (Hutchison), a US$ 65 billion Hong Kong based multi-national conglomerate, today announced that they have joined forces to sharply accelerate the pace of B-2-B e-commerce in Asia.

Together, they will launch two businesses, ICG AsiaWorks, which will incubate, acquire and build e-commerce market makers and B-2-B infrastructure companies, and an e-procurement services joint venture that will become a leading e-commerce buying and selling portal for companies in the Asia region.

Both of these companies will leverage the brand, visionary leadership, business networks, assets, and technology of Internet Capital Group (ICG) and Hutchison to encourage the growth of B-2-B e-commerce businesses. Both companies will be headquartered in Hong Kong.

"We believe there is enormous potential in Asia and we are honored to be partnering with Hutchison Whampoa to help Asian businesses tap into the world-wide power of the Internet," said Kenneth Fox, co-founder and managing director of ICG.

"Together through the formation of our e-procurement services joint venture, we will create the leading portal for entrepreneurs and large corporations to buy and sell products and services globally, reducing their procurement costs and growing their revenues. In addition, the formation of ICG AsiaWorks will bring the knowledge and resources of ICG to Asian companies and provide a platform for our US and European based companies to expand to Asia."

According to Gartner Group, worldwide B-2-B e-commerce will experience explosive growth, totaling US$7.3 trillion by 2004. Approximately US$1 trillion will be generated in Asia.

"We are very excited about our new partnership with Internet Capital Group, the clear leader in the B-2-B Internet space in the United States," said Canning Fok, Hutchison Whampoa group managing director.

"We believe ICG`s success and impressive market capitalization of US$37 billion, is indicative of the tremendous potential of B-2-B e-commerce in Asia. With the powerful combination of Hutchison`s extensive network and resources, and ICG`s management and technical expertise, I am confident that we can repeat this success here in Asia."


ICG AsiaWorks

ICG, Hutchison, and Li Ka Shing Foundation Limited are acquiring a combined controlling stake in a listed company on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange, Harbour Ring International Holdings (HK: 715), and renaming it ICG AsiaWorks Limited. ICG will be the majority shareholder.

Closing is conditional upon the approval of the transaction by the shareholders of Harbour Ring (if required by the Hong Kong Stock Exchange or the Securities and Futures Commission, the independent shareholders,) listing approval from the Hong Kong Stock Exchange and the granting of a whitewash waiver from the Securities and Futures Commission, as well as certain other conditions.

ICG AsiaWorks will acquire and build leading Asian-based B-2-B market makers and infrastructure companies, such as digital exchanges, consulting firms, software companies, and outsourced service providers. In addition, ICG AsiaWorks will operate several business incubation centers in Hong Kong and Greater China that will serve as a platform for bringing Internet Capital Group`s market makers and partner companies to Hong Kong and Greater China.

The incubation centers will also start new Asian-based companies. ICG AsiaWorks will accelerate the development of these companies by providing strategy, technology and executive recruiting, in addition to the global operational expertise of ICG`s executive team and 55 partner companies.


E -Procurement services company

In addition to ICG AsiaWorks, ICG, Hutchison and Cheung Kong have signed an agreement to establish an e-procurement services company that will be the definitive neutral B-2-B buying and selling portal in Asia. Closing is expected in April, 2000.

The founding partners plan to bring additional large corporations into the joint venture, which initially will tap into the buying power of Hutchison, Cheung Kong and their network of companies, and the leading e-procurement know-how of ICG and its partner network.

"We are confident that this e-procurement services company will capture a large portion of the B-2-B e-commerce activities in the region, and believe that the company could some day be a candidate for a public offering," said Fox of ICG.

Hört sich wirklich sehr interessant an.
bin auf diesen Wert über einen Artikel im Handelsblatt ("Invesco setzt auf Hutchinsons High-Tech-Appeal")gestossen.
Kann mir jemand von euch etwas über die Fundamentaldaten (Gewinn, Wachstum,Umsatz, KGV,...) des Unternehmens sagen?
