Hallo zusammen,

habt ihr Informationen zur Aktie Pacific Century Cyberworks, manchmal auch Tricom Holdings genannt?

Ich habe vor Wochen durch Zufall ganz interessante Nachrichten zur Firma gefunden. Aber die Aktie dümpelt immerfort um die 0,80 Euro. Wer weiß mehr dazu?

Vielen Dank für jede Info.

[Lovely]

Heute scheint schon wieder der Handel ausgesetzt zu sein.

[asienfreund]

Der Wert ist mir auch neu, aber interessanter Chart. Könnte vielleicht explodieren, wenn die nächsten Zahlen kommen. Ich versuche etwas über diesen Wert zu finden.

Hallo Asienfreund,

soviel ich bisher erfahren habe, handelt es sich um eine chinesische Aktie mit enormem Potential. Die Firma steht in regem Austausch zu verschiedenen anderen Gesellschaften, zum Beispiel arbeitet sie mit der DASA zusammen.

Leider bekomme ich seit einer Woche keine Infos mehr, da mein Provider (AOL) herbe Ladeschwierigkeiten mit verschiedenen Internetseiten hat. Ich hatte so etwas schon vermutet, nachdem sie so aggressiv in die Mitgliederwerbung gegangen sind. Ich hoffe darauf, dass bald ISDN dsl in meinem Wohngebiet geschaltet ist, dann kündige ich diesem Mist-Verein.

Irgendwie sagt mir mein Bauch, die Pacific Cyberworks könnte eine zweite Microsoft werden, oder??

[asienfreund]

Lovely, wenn Du mir Adressen nennst, dann kann ich es vielleicht versuchen, ich gehe nämlich nicht über Aol.
Bei China muß man aber wirklich aufpassen, denn das sind meistens Zockerwerte und Joint Ventures ( vgl. Xnet, Greater China, Legend Holdings, GTCI, Hartcourt usw.). Die haben ihre eigenen Regeln, welche nicht parallel zu den gigantischen asiatischen Marktchancen gehen.

Gruß Asienfreud

Hi Asienfreund,

auf der Comdirect Webseite gab es immer Nachrichten unter Cyberworks. Dort habe ich sie auch erstmals gesehen.
Wenn ich mich recht erinnere, haben sie vor ca. 2 Wochen einen Aktientausch mit CMGI gehabt. Und wollten eine weitere Firma aufkaufen und dafür neue Aktien auf den Markt bringen.
Etwa in dieser Zeit sind sie auch in Hongkong an die Börse gegangen. Nur an die NASDAQ wollten sie nicht.
Ich wühle heute mal im Internet, ob ich noch irgendwo Infos finde.

Gruß Lovely

placement
Pac Cent Cyber says raises HK$4 bln in
HONG KONG, Oct 13 (Reuters) - Pacific Century CyberWorks Ltd said on Wednesday it had raised nearly HK$4 billion in a placement of 635 million existing and new shares at HK$6.10 each on Tuesday.

``We raised HK$4 billion in 35 minutes. The placement was done through BNP Prime Peregrine and the investors were all institutional investors,`` said a spokeswoman for Pacific Century CyberWorks.

She said part of the proceeds from the placement would be used to fund a US$129 million investment for five million shares in U.S.-based Internet firm SoftNet Systems Inc (NasdaqNM:SOFN - news).

SoftNet said in a statement the two companies had agreed to form a joint venture called Pacific Century SoftNet that would market products and services to cable operators in 63 countries.

The remainder of the proceeds would be used for other acquisitions, the spokeswoman said.

Richard Li, chairman of Pacific Century CyberWorks, told reporters late on Tuesday: ``Our existing purchases (targets) are what can strengthen PCC, which could strategically enhance our broadband (network), a very ambitious project. We are currently looking at this area.``

The spokeswoman said trading in Pacific Century CyberWorks shares would be suspended on Wednesday pending approval from the Stock Exchange of Hong Kong for listing of the placement shares.


The shares ended on Tuesday at HK$6.65, down HK$0.15 or 2.21
percent.

Hmm,

ich habe ein Gerücht aufgeschnappt, dass sie nun bei celestia asia einsteigen wollen. Werde mal suchen, ob ich das irgendwo schriftlich finde.

Ich steh nicht so auf Gerüchteküche, Novelle Cuisine ist mir lieber.

So, habe was nettes bei Reuters gefunden.

Hongkong (Reuters) - Der Aktienmarkt in Hongkong hat am Donnerstag freundlich tendiert. Der Hang Seng Index lag im späten Vormittagshandels (gegen 06.25 Uhr MESZ) mit 0,26 Prozent oder 47,16 Punkten im Plus bei 12.523,03 Zählern. Bei überdurchschnittlichen Umsätzen verlief der Handel nach Angaben von Teilnehmern allerdings ruhig. Ein Großteil der Umsätze sei auf die Emission von Pacific Century Cyberworks<1186.HK> entfallen, die den US-Kabelanbieter SoftNet Systems kaufen wollen. Auch sei der Aufschwung am Markt durch neue Zinserhöhungsängste in den USA begrenzt worden. Die chinaorientierten Werte legten im Trend des Gesamtmarktes leicht zu.

From bricks and mortar to bits and bytes... A Hong Kong-listed flagship for Pacific Century Group.

Pacific Century CyberWorks Limited [Reuters: 1186.HK ; Bloomberg: 1186], is the Group`s Hong Kong-listed flagship company for its technology businesses. The new company was formed through the acquisition of Hong Kong-listed Tricom Holdings Limited (Tricom) a telecommunications service provider.

On August 1, 1999, Pacific Century CyberWorks announced it is acquiring Pacific Convergence Corporation (PCC), a joint venture formed in February 1998 by Pacific Century Group (60%) with Intel Corporation (40%), the world`s leading maker of microprocessors. Intel`s investment of US$50 million in Pacific Century CyberWorks, combined with its initial 40% stake in PCC, gives Intel a 13% stake in Pacific Century CyberWorks. PCC is expected to become the preeminent Internet service, content and eCommerce provider in Asia. The PCC pan-Asian service, by creating a broadband ISP platform, providing integrated on-line content and enabling and operating the development of a regional eCommerce network, will comprise the largest Internet distribution system in the world, with a reach of 110 million households.

Pacific Century CyberWorks will enter into and invest in local and international information technology and Internet businesses and, subject to agreement by the Government of Hong Kong, will be the sole vehicle to sign all agreements with the Government of Hong Kong in connection with the Cyber-Port project.

Richard Li, Chairman and Chief Executive of Pacific Century Group, is Chairman of the new company. Other senior PCG executives have also taken up posts in the new company: Francis Yuen and Peter To are joint Deputy Chairmen, and Alex Arena is Group Managing Director.

Our aim is to build on our expertise and knowledge of digital technology and new media to become a preeminent leader in Internet content and services such as eCommerce. We believe there are tremendous synergies between our existing activities in this field and future business opportunities.

The new company`s parallel involvements in the Cyber-Port and the fast-growing information technology and Internet sectors, and its acquisition of Pacific Convergence Corporation, will help secure Hong Kong`s position as a hub of Asia-focused eCommerce and Internet content development. We intend to create new opportunities for the best talent in the region and stimulate the industry.

Hallo zusammen,

nachdem ich mich heute erst mal riesig über mein durchhalten bei hartcourt (1,30) gefreut habe, war ich sofort auf der suche nach einer weiteren perle. Und siehe da, ich bin auch auf cyberworks gestossen ;-)
Hier die nachrichten, die ich gefunden habe. sind zwar schon älter aber was soll´s.


Intel teams with Nokia on Linux set-top

By Robert Lemos ZDNet News (12.10.99)

Chip giant Intel Corp. announced on Tuesday that it would team with European phone maker Nokia to deliver an enhanced-TV-capable set-top box using the Linux operating system.
"We still recognize the PC as the No. 1 home device," said Marta Hasler, director of marketing for Intel`s home products group, "but we see the capability to bring the Internet to other parts of the home."

The Nokia alliance is the third set-top deal that Intel has signed in as many months.

In early August, the chip maker announced a deal with Hughes Network Systems for an interactive TV set-top device -- the first of which will be America Online`s AOL TV box -- that will integrate Internet content and DirecTV programming for U.S. audiences.

In early September, Intel (Nasdaq:INTC) announced a similar broadband deal with Pacific Century Group for the Asia-Pacific region.

Going global
"With the addition of Nokia, we are showing that our product is a worldwide offering," said Hasler, who added that the deals are nonexclusive.

The Nokia (NYSE:NOK) set-top will be based on Intel`s PC architecture and will use an x86-based processor, the Linux operating system, and AOL`s (NYSE:AOL) open-source Mozilla browser.

Nokia requested Linux to be the main operating system, said Hasler.

"At a very high level, Linux allows them more flexibility and faster innovation because they can control the product," she said. The Pacific Century Group will also use Linux as part of its broadband platform as well.

Intel and Nokia plan to use other open standards, such as Digital Video Broadcast (DVB) and the Advanced Television Enhancement Forum (ATVEF) specification to deliver Internet content and enhance TV programming. The Forum already has 80 industry members.

Nokia expects the first product to be introduced in the second half of 2000.
