Chapter 408: Against the Singapore Consortium
Early the next morning, some media in Hong Kong reported on Tianyu Investment's acquisition of shares in Swire Pacific Limited, focusing on the fact that its investment manager had rejected the acquisition of the Lee Group in the acquisition with HSBC and Standard Chartered Bank.
The newspaper reporter also wrote a large commentary, questioning why the two major investment companies were reluctant to trade the stocks they held on behalf of shareholders when shareholders strongly demanded to liquidate their positions and stop losses.
The newspaper report immediately put HSBC and Standard Chartered Bank in the spotlight, and as soon as their securities departments came to work, they received many questioning calls from customers demanding that the securities department immediately trade their shares or they would take action to protect their interests.
There are even many customers who go directly to the bank and ask them to take out the shares they hold for themselves and trade them themselves, and the investment department is even more dissatisfied with the personnel of these departments.
In Shen Bi's office, the manager of the investment department of HSBC said to him: "Chairman, we can't drag it out, now the report of the Li Group is very harmful to our bank, this time the customer comes to the bank to question, it will definitely be reported, if our investment department does not take action, I am afraid that our reputation will be over, please think of a way." ”
Shen Bi is quite angry at Li Guangyu's behavior, and every time he does such a business behavior, he always uses the media group under his control to fan the flames and let it facilitate his actions.
Standing on his side Shen Bi is naturally unhappy, but they really can't do anything about Li Guangyu, although Li Guangyu always likes to do this, but what Li Guangyu reports is the truth, and he has never slandered and smeared anyone, and in the final analysis, this matter is still bad for themselves.
Shen Bi asked, "Do you think we should hold the shares of Swire Co., Ltd. ourselves, or transfer them?"
The manager of the investment department said: "Chairman, this issue needs to be decided by you, and I can't see the current situation in the stock market. ”
Shen Bi himself can't see the current situation clearly, his bank is going to make a profit, if he puts his funds into the shares, but there is a huge loss, the impact on him is not very good, he is currently in this position because of the last stock market problem is not very good, if there is a large loss, he is afraid that he will have to give way.
Shen Bi said: "You immediately contact Wooden Shihuaiya and ask him if he wants to take over the shares in our hands, if not, we can only seek a transaction in the market." ”
"Okay chairman, I'm going to contact the Swire group. After the investment manager finished speaking, he left Shen Bi's office, he needed to explain to the client, and at the same time he would make a promise to them that he would sell the shares within today.
When there was rumors in Hong Kong about the Lee Group's acquisition of Swire Pacific Corporation, another news came out that shook Hong Kong. A consortium of Singapore's Yau, Kwok and Wong families is in discussions with Jardine Matheson to acquire Heung Kong Electric Group.
Just like the citizens just took this news as their talking point, the upper echelons of Xiangjiang were really shaken, knowing that Li Guangyu was determined to win the Heung Kong Electric Light Group, but they did not expect that several families from Singapore really dared to take over the Heung Kong Electric Light Group, and their courage was commendable.
Just after this news came out, the phone calls of the heads of the major families in Xiangjiang began to be busy, especially some families that had a good relationship with those families, and they became the objects of many inquiries.
The first call Bao Yugang received was from Li Guangyu's father-in-law, Cao Wenjin.
Cao Wenjin said on the phone: "Yugang, I know that you have a good relationship with those families, but our Xiangjiang Chinese family has always been in the same spirit, and we don't need you to make a move this time, please don't put pressure on us in the back." ”
Cao Wenjin was really angry this time, the major families in Singapore really don't give face to themselves and others, knowing that their son-in-law is playing the idea of the Xiangjiang Electric Light Group, they still want to intervene, because they are not afraid of themselves and others.
This time, He Zuozhi, Stanley Ho, and Luo Cheng contacted him, and this time they wanted to teach these families a lesson, and let them understand that Xiangjiang did not come when they wanted to.
Cao Wenjin really couldn't understand why these big families insisted on acquiring Xiangjiang Electric Light Group knowing Li Guangyu's influence in Xiangjiang, which obviously would be difficult to get along with them, and it was impossible for them not to know.
Bao Yugang was also very embarrassed, and at the same time felt sad, they were all Chinese-funded families, and they should be united, he himself didn't understand what benefits the Jardine Group had promised to these families, so that they would not hesitate to offend the Li consortium to acquire the Xiangjiang Electric Light Group.
Bao Yugang said: "Wen Jin, don't worry, I won't jump out to stop your actions, this time it is indeed Deba that they did something inauthentic, I also persuaded him, but unfortunately he didn't listen to our opinions." ”
When Bao Yugang was facing Cao Wenjin's call, Run Run Shaw of Wireless was also answering the phone.
He Zuozhi said on the phone: "Sixth, I know that you have a deep relationship in Nanyang, and you have a good relationship with several major families in Singapore. This time, I also hope that you TVB will stand on a neutral side and not take sides with the Singapore family. ”
He Zuozhi is mainly engaged in the media, and now he is still the chairman of Xiangjiang Commercial Radio, he can understand the importance of public opinion, this time first fill the loopholes here, the Li Group has Jiayi Group and Xiangyu Group, plus his commercial radio station is enough to influence public opinion in Xiangjiang.
Over the years, his grandson has never suppressed the Chinese-funded family, and has also put forward a lot of suggestions to many families in Xiangjiang, so that many families have responded to the economic crisis in advance and reduced a lot of losses.
Now his grandson is competing with the British-funded consortium, but he didn't expect the Singapore consortium to pull back from behind, which made him very angry. If it weren't for the fact that his grandson was fighting with the British-funded consortium in front, they wouldn't even have the qualifications to negotiate with the Jardine Group.
Run Run Shaw knew that the Lee consortium and the Singapore consortium were completely compatible this time, but he didn't know whether the benefits that the Singapore consortium received from the British-funded consortium were worth matching with the Lee consortium.
Run Run Shaw himself doesn't want to confront the Lee consortium anyway, this time he will strictly abide by neutrality, whether it is the Lee consortium or the Singapore consortium, it has nothing to do with wireless, and he is still ready to go wireless to the star.
Run Run Shaw said: "Don't worry, Zuozhi, we will not get involved in the fight between the two of you. ”
The same scene happened here with Qiu Degen, Qiu Degen naturally will not let ATV get involved in the battle between the two major consortia, and the Singapore consortium may have waited for some promises from the British-funded consortium, but he ATV did not. And even if there are some benefits, I don't dare to accept it, the Li consortium is not just talking about it in Xiangjiang.
While admiring the courage of the Singapore consortium, Qiu Degen was also sad for their decision, and they did not know whether the British-funded consortium had paid such a big price to invite them over, whether it was just a joke, or whether they thought that Lee Guangyu was really as amiable as he advertised to the outside world.
Just kidding, if Li Guangyu was to publicize it to the media, how could his Li consortium develop so strongly, the tragedy of the original beauty and the current British-funded consortium was not made by Li Guangyu.
