Chapter 417: Wheelock
With the start of the school year, the summer vacation has officially come to an end, and Li Guangyu has once again devoted himself to the layout of the British-funded consortium.
After nearly a week of contact, Guo Qingya finally reached an acquisition agreement with Zhang Yuliang, and the Li Group acquired his shares in Wheelock at a premium of three levels, and all of them needed cash.
Li Guangyu learned in Guo Qingya's report that the Zhang family had already had a plan to sell their shares, and the development form of Xiangjiang was not stable, and some people were making other preparations, according to Guo Qingya's news, the Zhang family already had a plan to immigrate to Canada, so they only needed cash.
Li Guangyu doesn't care if the Zhang family leaves or not, he just needs to buy the shares in his hands, and now Wheelock's market value is also fluctuating around 4.2 billion Hong Kong dollars, the Zhang family has 32% of the equity, and its voting rights are as much as 37%, and the Madden family only has 35% of the shares, and the voting rights are only 40%.
If these two families work together, Li Guangyu will naturally not be able to eat Wheeloku, but it is a pity that the Zhang family is now ready to flash people, which gives Li Guangyu a chance.
On the afternoon of the 2nd, Li Guangyu signed a transfer agreement with Zhang Yuliang, who came to the building, and expressed his gratitude to Zhang Yuliang for the transfer.
Zhang Yuliang said: "Li Sheng, you don't have to be polite, our Zhang family was also in the stock market crisis in 73 years, so that our Zhang family's real estate company was merged by Wheelock, this time I really hope that the Li Group can buy Wheelock and make it our Chinese-funded group." ”
After Li Guangyu listened, it seems that the cooperation between the Zhang family and the Madden family is not as harmonious as rumored, Zhang Yuliang is obviously angry about Wheelock taking advantage of the stock market crash to merge his company, but why the two families will show that they will get along in harmony later, Li Guangyu is not very clear.
Li Guangyu said: "Zhang Sheng, don't worry, this time I will not give the Madden family another chance like Swire Co., Ltd., I will contact Mr. Bao Yugang later and take 12% of his shares in Wheelock, so that our Li Group will not be far away from controlling Wheelock." ”
Zhang Yuliang is very aware of the financial strength of the Li Group, as long as Li Guangyu gets the shares in Bao Yugang's hands, as long as the stock market initiates a forced purchase, it will change hands in less than half a day.
Zhang Yuliang said: "Li Sheng, our Zhang family is going to Canada to open up the market in the near future, if Li Sheng intends to enter the market there, we can carry out some cooperation in the future." ”
Zhang Yuliang also doesn't care whether Li Guangyu will enter the Canadian market in a big way, and then talk about the relationship first, if the Li Group really goes to Canada to develop at that time, he can cooperate with it, and it will make a lot of money.
Li Guangyu listened to Zhang Yuliang's words, it was really good, obviously he was a little worried about the future, so he was ready to go to Canada, and when he said that he would open up the market, this reason was really fair enough.
As for the Canadian side, Li Guangyu does not have the energy to open up that side for the time being, and it may be possible in the future. In order to facilitate future development, Li Guangyu still promised Zhang Yuliang that the Li Group would give priority to cooperating with the Zhang family when it entered the Canadian market in the future.
After Li Guangyu sent Zhang Yuliang away, he immediately contacted Bao Yugang and asked him if he was free, and he would go over to meet him later.
Li Guangyu is not far from the Wharf Group, only a few minutes' drive, and Li Guangyu immediately left the office and rushed to the Wharf Group after Bao Yugang responded.
And in Bao Yugang's office, Wu Guangzheng was also here, thinking about Li Guangyu's intention to come to visit his father-in-law in person.
The relationship between the Bao family and Li Guangyu is not close, Li Guangyu has cooperated with Cheung Kong, Zhaoji and Sun Hung Kai, but has little to do with their Bao family and the Zheng family of New World Group.
Li Guangyu's sudden visit this time made him a little inexplicable, and after thinking about it, there seemed to be nothing on his side that could help the Li Group.
Bao Yugang saw Wu Guangzheng there puzzled, and said to him: "Haven't you noticed the changes in the stock market recently? No one cares about other stocks, but Wheelock's stock has been trading more actively in the past two days." ”
Wu Guangzheng is not stupid, at this time, someone went to buy Wheelock's shares, and then think about the successive encounters of the Li Group a few days ago, this time it is estimated that the Li Group is eyeing the Wheelock Group again, trying to directly take down this time-honored flagship of the foreign bank.
Thinking of the situation of the British-funded consortium, Wu Guangzheng was also very emotional, and the Chinese families who had been pressed by the four major oceanic companies, Jardine Matheson, Swire, Hutchison Whampoa and Wheelock, were out of breath. Now the Xiangjiang British Consortium is like a sunset, and there is only the last bit of afterglow left.
Hutchison Whampoa has long been eaten by Li Ka-shing and Li Guangyu, Swire Pacific Co., Ltd. was robbed of nearly one-third of the shares by Li Guangyu, and the Jardine Matheson Group has lost most of its strength, and this time it is estimated that Wheelock will not benefit. Even if Lee Guangyu can't eat Wheelock, it is estimated that he will be occupied by Li Guangyu on multiple board seats like Swire Pacific.
After Li Guangyu said hello to Bao Yugang's office, he proposed his intention to Bao Yugang, hoping that Bao Yugang could transfer the shares to himself.
Pao Yugang himself did not refuse Li Guangyu's request, he is still busy dealing with the Wharf problem, and has not yet thought about buying Wheelock. This sale to Li Guangyu can not only sell Li Guangyu a favor, but also return some cash to deal with the imminent threat of Heung Kong Real Estate.
At present, the senior management of Xiangjiang knows that the Xiangjiang property market will not last long, and the current property market is in a situation where there is no price and no market, and the price has not fallen, but it is also difficult to sell. In particular, Lee Kong Woo's Tian Yu Bank and Wing Hang Bank, as well as Lee Kwok Po's Bank of East Asia and Chen Youqing's Bank of East Asia, have all narrowed their lending in real estate in response to the coming crisis.
Li Guangyu said to Bao Yugang: "Uncle Bao, thank you for your fulfillment. After this time, another British-owned foreign firm in Hong Kong will disappear. ”
Bao Yugang said: "Guangyu, you don't have to be polite to me, I was able to win Wharf at the beginning, but it was all up to you to help, this time I naturally want to assist you in acquiring Wheelock Group." It's just that it's still very difficult for you to only have these stocks, and if you want to kick the Madden family out, you have to contact the Zhang family. ”
Li Guangyu said with a smile: "Uncle Bao, you don't have to worry about me, I took the shares of the Zhang family this time, so I contacted you." Now I have 44% of the shares of the two of you, and we have also acquired a lot of shares in the stock market in the past two days, so I guess there should be no problem with the holdings. ”
Bao Yugang didn't expect Li Guangyu to do such a good job of secrecy this time, the news of the Li Group's contact with the Zhang family did not come out at all, and now Li Guangyu has actually got the shares, this time the Madden family does not have the luck of the Shihuaiya family, and the Madden family will only be kicked out by Li Guangyu at that time.
Bao Yugang said: "Guangyu, that's good, the British-funded consortium has shrouded us in Xiangjiang for so many years, and it's time to break this shroud." After you take control, Uncle Bao still needs your help with something. ”
Li Guangyu said: "Uncle Bao, please speak?"
"When I was in '76, I set up a joint venture with Wheelock to set up a real estate company, which is under the name of Wheelock, which is why I have successively occupied so many shares, and this company is of no use to your Lee Group, and I hope that you will be able to transfer this company to our Wharf Group when the time comes. Bao Yugang said.
Li Guangyu doesn't care about the real estate company, since Bao Yugang wants to buy it, let it be good for him, it is estimated that Bao Yugang has encountered some resistance in Wharf, and wants to let a group of personnel come in.
Li Guangyu said: "Uncle Bao, there is no problem, after we acquire Wheelock, we will transfer that real estate company to you." ”
