The rapid development of Xiangjiang in recent years, coupled with the reform and opening up of the mainland, has made many Chinese consortia in Southeast Asia hope to enter the Xiangjiang market to get a piece of the pie, and at the same time serve as a springboard for them to enter the mainland market.

This time, with the invitation of Jardine Matheson and Swire, to be able to win such a high-quality company as Xiangjiang Electric Group, Singapore's wealthy people are quite interested, when Li Guangyu is busy sniping at Swire Pacific on the stock market, many heirs or heads of families in Singapore have come to Xiangjiang in person to understand the situation here, so as to decide whether to buy the shares in the hands of Jardine Matheson.

On the evening of the 18th, Bao Yugang was at Bao Yugang's house, Bao Yugang warmly received the head of the Qiu family in Singapore, Qiu Depu, Bao Yugang as a world-class ship king, Singapore in Asia as the throat of the Strait of Malacca, Bao Yugang and Singapore's major families have a very good relationship, and the Qiu family is also one of Bao Yugang's important collaborators.

At the banquet, Bao Yugang said: "Deba, you haven't been to Xiangjiang for several years, how can you have time to come to Xiangjiang in person this time?"

Qiu Depua mainly wanted to enter the mainland market, which has a huge market of 1.2 billion people, and his Qiu family naturally would not give up such an opportunity. This time, he came to Xiangjiang in person to see what the situation was here, and he could just stop by to see if the Xiangjiang Electric Light Company was worth acquiring by himself.

Qiu Teck Puat said: "Yugang, now your strength is getting stronger and stronger, the Chinese family in Xiangjiang is developing really fast, and our Chinese family in Singapore is not comparable to you." I came to Xiangjiang this time, also because of the invitation of Jardine Matheson Group and Swire Group, to inspect Heung Kong Electric Group, Jardine Matheson intends to sell this group, this time not only me, but also several of our side have personnel to come. ”

After Bao Yugang heard this, his face was a little not good, the coming of these consortia in Singapore will inevitably confront the Li Group, which is now busy fighting with the Swire Group. Pao Yugang also knows some news about what happened in the UK, and the Swire group is uniting some British parliamentarians to put pressure on the government to veto Lee Guangyu to form an airline.

Now Jardine Matheson and Swire have brought in a Singapore consortium, apparently hoping to divert Lee's attention. Bao Yugang clearly knew that Li Guangyu was not dead set on Heung Kong Electric Group, otherwise he would not continue to hold 13.1% of the shares of Heung Kong Electric Group.

Bao Yugang asked: "Deba, do you really want to acquire the Xiangjiang Electric Light Group, do you know that this is likely to cause your consortium to be unable to even stand in Xiangjiang?"

Khoo Teck Puat didn't know much about the inside story, after all, the battle between Lee Guangyu and Jardine Matheson ended too quickly, and MacLehose came forward, and the public opinion about the two families was quickly suppressed.

Qiu Depuat heard Bao Yugang say this, a little confused, he and the others are from a Chinese family, and they were invited by a British-funded consortium, if he and others buy the Heung Kong Electric Light Group, it will not be too much of a problem, how can this be like if he and others buy the Heung Kong Electric Light Group, they will be cut off from the Hong Kong market.

Qiu Teck Puat said: "Yugang, you also know that now that the mainland has been reforming and opening up, the economy has developed rapidly, especially in Pengcheng opposite you, and our Singapore consortium naturally hopes to enter the mainland market. And Xiangjiang is our springboard, you also know how much influence Heung Kong Electric Group has on Xiangjiang, and our families in Singapore still want to eat this one. Besides, it's better to control this group in our hands than in the hands of a British-funded consortium. ”

Bao Yugang knew that Qiu Teck Puat didn't know the inside story, and Henry Keswick also found some families in Xiangjiang, and even asked himself if he wanted to take over the Xiangjiang Electric Light Group, but who dared to take over this group in the major families in Xiangjiang, they didn't have the courage to face the blow of the Li Group, especially at this time.

The Li Group's continuous flow of cash in their hands gives them a natural advantage in the face of other groups, and the Li Group is now in Xiangjiang, and no family wants to go against them.

Bao Yugang said: "Deba, as a friend, I advise you not to fight the idea of the Xiangjiang Electric Light Group, it will not be beneficial to you. We have so many families in Xiangjiang, some of them are stronger than your Qiu family, why no one has taken over the Xiangjiang Electric Light Group, and the Jardine Group has even traveled thousands of miles to find you to take over, haven't you thought about the reason?"

Qiu Depu's face was a little ugly when he heard this, many families on the Xiangjiang side were indeed much stronger than him, and he didn't think that these families didn't know the benefits of the Xiangjiang Electric Light Group in their hands.

Qiu Depuat said: "Yugang, don't go around in circles with me, you also know that the industries of our major families in Singapore are basically in Singapore, Malaysia and Indonesia, and our major families have not entered much on the Xiangjiang side, and we still don't know much about some secret information here." ”

Qiu Degen's focus is in these places in Singapore and Malaysia, and it is not easy for them to enter the market here due to the local consortium and the British consortium on the Xiangjiang side, so they don't know much about the intelligence on the Xiangjiang side, and they mainly rely on the news to know some, and they don't know much about the in-depth news.

Bao Yugang said: "You also know that I acquired Wharf, do you also feel that I am very lucky, so easily grabbed this group last year." ”

Qiu Degen said with a smile: "Yugang, I was really shocked when I received the news, Jardine Matheson Group is not only in your Xiangjiang, but also in our Singapore has a great influence, I didn't expect you to be able to pull out your teeth and snatch the Wharf from them, our major families admire your ability very much." ”

Bao Yugang knew that this was not his luck, but the Li Group pushed himself in the back. If the Li Group did not transfer its shares to itself at that time, it would undoubtedly be a fool's dream that he wanted to control Wharf.

Pao Yugang said: "You may not know in Singapore that just before I acquired Wharf, the Lee Kong Yu consortium and Jardine Matheson engaged in a battle, and the Li Group mobilized tens of billions of Hong Kong dollars to prepare to eat the Heung Kong Electric Light Group and the Heung Kong Telephone Group at the same time, and Jardine itself also prepared more than 5 billion Hong Kong dollars to deal with the acquisition of the Li Group. ”

"In just three days, the Jardine Matheson Group almost couldn't keep the two groups, the Jardine Matheson Group and the Lee Group both hold more than 45% of the shares, and the decision is in the hands of HSBC, and in the end it was MacLehose who stepped in, and they only controlled a group by themselves. However, the Li Group has no intention of giving up, and they still hold a 13.1% stake in Heung Kong Electric Group, and are ready to buy it again. ”

Qiu Deba didn't expect that there was such a secret in it, no wonder Bao Yugang bought it so easily, the Li Group helped him consume the Jardine Group in the front, and he picked up a bargain in the back.

For Li Guangyu, Qiu Depua knows a lot of news, and if their major families are against the Li Group, it will really not be easy. The Li group is not only so powerful as himself, but his allies are also ridiculously strong, his grandfather's He family and his wife's Cao family are not easy people, and none of them are weaker than them.

Qiu Deba said: "Yugang, this is a normal commercial acquisition, it is not so serious, we can't not enter the Xiangjiang market because of the Li Group." Besides, if the Li Group wants to acquire any group, we have to make concessions, what kind of business do we still have, why did you Xiangjiang families start to be timid, when the British consortium dominated Xiangjiang, I didn't see you give in. ”

Bao Yugang saw that Qiu Teck Puat seemed to be really interested in acquiring Heung Kong Electric Group, and he had already reminded him that if he came to ask for help in the future, he would have a reason to shirk it, it seems that these Singapore consortiums don't understand Li Guangyu's character, is it so easy to grab what he fancies?

Bao Yugang said: "Deba, I have said everything I should say, how you choose for yourself is your own business, and when it comes to the affairs of the Li Group in the future, I can't do anything, please don't blame your old friends for not helping you when the time comes." ”

Qiu Teck Puat didn't expect Li Guangyu's deterrent power to be so great, but he was also confident in the alliance of several of them, and he still had several major banks behind him, and he didn't believe that Li Guangyu could do anything to them.
