Li Guangyu himself heard the news that the Singapore consortium was preparing to acquire the Heung Kong Electric Light Group on the same day, but because he was now busy with Swire Pacific Limited, he did not have time to deal with this aspect of the problem for the time being, and he planned to deal with the Singapore consortium after he took control of Swire Pacific Limited.

Time passed, and in the blink of an eye, it was August 25th, and in this nearly a week, Li Guangyu had not been able to acquire the shares in the hands of these shareholders as he wished, so that he currently only has 36.8% of the shares of Swire Pacific Limited, and only about 31% of the voting rights.

In the conference room of Tianyu Investment Company, Li Guangyu once again asked Guo Fengtao about the shareholders whether they no longer planned to transfer their shares to his company.

Guo Fengtao said: "Li Sheng, I contacted the people over there, they are still thinking about it, according to the news, they are waiting for the Shi Huaiya family to give them a higher price. ”

Li Guangyu was very angry when he heard this, that group of shareholders is really insatiable, and now the conditions have been at a premium of five layers, and they are not satisfied, expecting a higher price.

If it weren't for Li Guangyu's service to Cathay Pacific Airways this time, he would not have bothered to pay attention to these shareholders.

The British side is not going well, because there is the Swire group jumping up and down there, and the Lee Kong Woo group has also been hindered in the acquisition of the British Telecom Group this time, and the British local consortium has already begun to move, and they seem to be starting to join in Thatcher's economic reform, cooperate with Thatcher to privatize public enterprises, and promote the development of the British economy.

Li Guangyu said: "You contact the other side again, see what those shareholders think, give them a premium of six levels, and ask them to complete the transaction as soon as possible." ”

While holding a meeting with Li Guangyu, several major shareholders of Swire Pacific were invited by Shen Bi to come to The Peninsula Hotel.

When these shareholders arrived, in addition to Shen Bi, there were several representatives of the British-funded consortium in the box, including Woolden Shihuaia, Henry Keswick, George LaVine and Paul Madden, and they also met several representatives of the Singapore consortium who had been stirring up the storm in Xiangjiang in the past few days.

Shen Bi said, "Welcome to your arrival, please take a seat." ”

These major shareholders felt that they were probably going to put pressure on them today, otherwise there would not be so many people who jointly invited them over, and they made up their minds that they would not transfer their shares to Wooddon Shihuaiya without the same price as the Li consortium.

Wooden Schwyattle said: "We have been working together at Swire Pacific for so many years, and we all get along very well, we are all from England, and you don't want our company to become a subsidiary of the Lee consortium." ”

These shareholders don't care who this company belongs to, the Li consortium also ate Bentley and Jaguar in the local area, and I didn't see the British government and the local consortium opposed, the stock market plummeted this time, and they and others suffered huge losses, and the higher the shares were sold, the better.

For the thoughts of these shareholders, everyone here is very clear, if they choose to do this at this time, who doesn't want to make a little money, but it is just that it is not very comfortable.

Shen Bi said: "Everyone is a businessman, and their own minds understand that we invite you here today in the hope of acquiring the shares of Swire Pacific Co., Ltd. in your hands, in terms of price, you can rest assured, isn't the Li consortium already at a premium of five layers? We have decided to eat the shares in your hands at a premium of six layers this time, and we hope that you will not refuse." ”

These shareholders did not expect the British-funded consortium to be so powerful this time, and actually raised the price to a higher level than the Li consortium, and when they negotiated with Woolden Schwyattle a few days ago, it took half a day to pay the same price as the Li consortium.

Henry Keswick said: "We are already very sincere this time, and I ask you to make a decision sooner, and this is the last time we will make an offer to you." You can let the Lee consortium buy your shares at this price, but you don't forget that you are also British, you still have to go back, and you will have to develop in the Commonwealth in the future, and you are afraid that it will not be of much benefit to you if you are insatiable. ”

These shareholders really had the idea of going to Li Guangyu to negotiate, but listening to Henry Keswick's threatening words, they didn't think about whether it was worth offending these people for the little extra money they and others made. These people have a lot of influence in the Asian region, and they are developing here. A lot of times you need to rely on them, especially HSBC and Standard Chartered.

At the same time, these shareholders were also irritable in their hearts, and they were a little annoyed with Wooden Shihuaia, which was obviously a matter of Swire Group and them, and as a result, Wooden Shihuaia pulled out such a vote to put pressure on himself and others, so that he and others had to sell their shares to him.

After thinking for a while, one of the shareholders here said: "Shi Huaiya, congratulations on being able to continue to control Swire Pacific Corporation, you can take my shares, but I want cash, and you don't want to exchange your shares in Swire Group, I don't need that thing." ”

When they were talking with Woodon Shihuaiya a few days ago, Shihuaiya proposed to exchange the shares of the Swire Group in London for the shares in their hands, these shareholders do not want the shares of the Swire Group, who knows if Li Guangyu will attack the Swire Group, and it is better for him and others to avoid it.

Wooden Shihuaia said: "You can rest assured, this share is a cash acquisition, and they also have the strength to do this, these people next to me, I think you already have some understanding, this time your shares will be jointly acquired by them." ”

This time, in order to completely match the Singapore consortium and the Lee consortium, the British-funded consortium not only took out the Heung Kong Electric Light Group, but also let them eat the shares of the Swire Group, these companies are relatively high-quality, as long as everything is peaceful on the Xiangjiang side, after the stock market recovers, they will definitely be able to make a lot of money.

At the same time, they also promised the Singapore consortium that as long as the Lee consortium made a move against them, the British consortium would definitely help them, and at the same time assist the Singapore consortium in the expansion of Asian countries and regions in the British Commonwealth.

The influence of these foreign firms, HSBC and Standard Chartered in Asia is quite strong, which is why the Singapore consortium is willing to take over the Heung Kong Electric Group and Swire Pacific Corporation, and they do not think that the Lee consortium will be able to break their alliance with the Hong Kong British consortium.

Moreover, these areas are now administered by the British government, and they have an advantage over the Lee consortium.

These shareholders didn't expect that the Singapore consortium was really not afraid of things, this is to offend the Lee consortium to death, these people think that they don't have to worry about the Lee consortium if they cooperate with the British-funded consortium?

They don't bother to care about this, just get the money in their hands, and they don't regret it in the future, what has the Li consortium forced the British consortium to do in the past two years, don't these people know, thinking that they have the government as their back, it's okay, these shareholders can only sigh that the Singapore consortium thinks things too well.

The shareholders said, "We can call someone right away to send the shares, I wonder if you have the cash ready?"

Shen Bi said: "You can rest assured, as soon as the contract is signed, we HSBC can transfer the funds to your account." ”

After hearing this, the shareholders left the box and went to the hotel to borrow a phone to inform their families to send the shares of Swire Pacific Corporation.

One of the shareholders avoided these people and deliberately informed Guo Fengtao of the news.

In Li Guangyu's office, Guo Fengtao relayed what the shareholder said to Li Guangyu as it was.

After hearing this, Li Guangyu said: "I know, the acquisition of Swire Pacific Co., Ltd. will end here for the time being. ”

Guo Fengtao couldn't detect Li Guangyu's current mood, but he knew that the Singapore consortium would definitely pay the price this time.
