Chapter 43 Heung Kong Real Estate Construction Association below
Subsequently, the Chamber of Commerce discussed some matters related to Heung Kong real estate, and at the same time discussed the situation of the next land auction in Heung Kong.
Due to the limited land resources in Xiangjiang, before each land auction by the Xiangjiang government, the construction chamber of commerce will negotiate with the construction chamber to which companies will auction the land, so as to avoid internal competition among Chinese capital, thus raising the price of land.
Li Guangyu's Starlight Real Estate is currently busy with the development of Tin Shui Wai, and has no interest in the auction that the Heung Kong government will hold, so he quietly watched the negotiations between these bigwigs piece by piece, compromised with each other, and did not express any opinion.
After the meeting, Fok Yingdong walked over to Li Guangyu. Li Guangyu said to him: "Huo Sheng, thank you for your recommendation, so that I can join the Real Estate Construction Association. ”
Huo Yingdong said with a smile, "Li Sheng, I'm just pushing the boat down the river." I'm sure you'll be on board soon, even if it's not my recommendation. ”
"Huo Sheng has won the award, and I am lucky, compared to ability, I am still far from the seniors here. Li Guangyu said modestly.
"Your ability, I don't think anyone in Xiangjiang will doubt it today. If it weren't for that, how would Li Ka-shing, Lee Shau Kee, and Kwok Tak-sheng recommend you as a director of the executive committee?" said Fok Ying-tung.
Only then did Li Guangyu understand that they had contributed to his role as the managing director, and Li Guangyu was still strange at first, how could Fok Yingdong and them directly push him to the board of directors, wouldn't that offend a large number of other people? With Li Ka-shing's recommendation, coupled with Stanley Ho's status, and Fok Yingdong's efforts behind them, even if some people disagreed, it would be useless.
Li Guangyu said: "This is all the elders who look up to me, and I will definitely contribute more to the Chamber of Commerce in the future and live up to everyone's trust in me." ”
Huo Yingdong invited Li Guangyu and said, "Li Sheng, do you have time to attend a banquet I held tomorrow night?"
Li Guangyu happily agreed to Huo Yingdong's invitation: "Huo Sheng's invitation, of course I have time, I will definitely arrive tomorrow night." ”
......
At noon, in the private room of the Peninsula Hotel, Li Guangyu and Stanley Ho chatted about things in the Chamber of Commerce.
"Guangyu, don't take the construction chamber too seriously. Don't look at the high status in Xiangjiang, but at our level, we don't care too much about these things. Stanley Ho said to Li Guangyu.
"Uncle, I don't know too much about this, and I don't plan to vigorously develop the real estate industry in Xiangjiang, so as not to grab food from everyone. Li Guangyu said to Stanley Ho.
"If you don't vigorously enter the real estate industry in Hong Kong, then you don't need to pay too much attention to the affairs of the real estate construction association, and you can listen to it when you have a big deal, and sometimes you can even not go. ”
Li Guangyu is really not ready to grab land with major real estate companies in Xiangjiang, he is ready to wait for the group to jump to RB after the development of Tin Shui Wai, that is where he will make a fortune. RB With the rapid development of the economy, RB housing prices are also rising, and it will not be until 89 years that the myth will be shattered, how could Li Guangyu give up such an opportunity to pick up money?
"Uncle, I am going to let Starlight Real Estate Group practice in the development of Tin Shui Wai, and then I am going to let it develop in RB. I think that with the boom of RB's economy, there will be good opportunities for RB's real estate as well. If your uncle is willing, you can also ask your real estate company and Starlight Real Estate Group to go to RB to find opportunities. Li Guangyu is ready to take Stanley Ho together to make money.
Stanley Ho didn't agree too much with Li Guangyu's words, and said: "It's better if you want to go to RB to develop and avoid getting involved with the major families in Xiangjiang." My uncle and I are mainly based in Xiangjiang and Lisboa, and I have no plans to invest in foreign countries at present. ”
Li Guangyu saw that Stanley Ho was unwilling to go to RB development together, and he did not persuade him much, at present, the major families in Xiangjiang are relatively conservative, and all of them are rooted in Xiangjiang.
Li Guangyu then said: "Uncle, when the meeting just ended, Huo Yingdong invited me to attend a drinking party held by him tomorrow night, what is the matter with him?"
"You also received his invitation, I don't know what the specific thing is for the time being, but he invited our major families to get together, most of them are related to the mainland. Stanley Ho said.
"Uncle will go tomorrow, then I'll go with you tomorrow. Li Guangyu said.
Li Guangyu knew that when Huo Yingdong brought everyone together this time, he must have talked about the ownership of Xiangjiang. So Li Guangyu wants to go with Stanley Ho, so that if there are any problems, he can throw them at Stanley Ho.
"Well, you come to my house at half past six tomorrow evening, and we'll go together. Stanley Ho heard that Li Guangyu wanted to go with him, and immediately replied.
In the afternoon, Li Guangyu was going to go to Xiangyu Group, but Li Ka-shing found him and asked him to hold a board meeting of Cheung Kong Group.
Li Guangyu was a little puzzled by Li Ka-shing's board meeting, Li Guangyu never asked about Cheung Kong's business again, why did Li Ka-shing notify him to hold a board meeting?
After Li Guangyu came to Cheung Kong Group to meet Li Ka-shing, he asked: "Uncle Li, Cheung Kong is developing rapidly under your leadership, why do you suddenly want to hold a board meeting?"
Li Ka-shing said: "Guangyu, I have a big plan this year, and I need to get the support of the board of directors, and at the same time, it is also an explanation to the board of directors. ”
Li Guangyu was puzzled: "Uncle Li, you are now the absolute majority shareholder of Cheung Kong Group, with more than two-thirds of the shares, don't you decide to finish?"
Li Ka-shing saw Li Guangyu say this, and replied: "After all, you are also a shareholder of Cheung Kong, although I can decide directly, but with your support, our group can develop better." Besides, I still have to tell you about this action. ”
Li Guangyu thought that it is no wonder that Li Ka-shing will be so successful in the future, and it is not for nothing. With his attitude towards shareholders, many people are willing to cooperate with him.
"Uncle Li, you just have to do whatever you do, and I will definitely be consistent with you on the board. Li Guangyu said.
After Li Ka-shing listened to Li Guangyu's words, he was very happy. said to Li Guangyu: "Guangyu, this year I am going to do a big thing, last year I did not gnaw on the Jardine Wharf Jardine Consortium, this time I am ready to move Jardine Whampoa." ”
When Li Guangyu heard it, it turned out that Li Ka-shing was going to buy Hutchison Whampoa, which must definitely be supported, Cheung Kong made a lot of money by acquiring Hutchison Whampoa, this is Li Guangyu making money with him.
said to Li Ka-shing: "I absolutely support Uncle Li's actions. If you need any help, just say, if you're short of money, I can inject money. ”
Li Ka-shing was very happy about Li Guangyu's support, but when he heard that Li Guangyu wanted to inject capital into Cheung Kong Group, he immediately said: "Guangyu, I am also a plan, Cheung Kong does not need capital injection from shareholders at present." ”
Li Guangyu knew that Li Ka-shing was afraid that his injection of capital into Cheung Kong Group would shake his control over Cheung Kong, so he did not mention it again after Li Ka-shing refused. Li Guangyu arranged for Yuan Tianfan to slowly absorb the shares of Hutchison Whampoa in the market. But Cheung Kong bought Hutchison Whampoa, and Li Guangyu could also increase his stake in Hutchison Whampoa.
Subsequently, at the board meeting of Cheung Kong Group, since the two major shareholders of Li Ka-shing and Li Guangyu agreed to acquire Hutchison Whampoa, several other shareholders also agreed to Li Ka-shing's plan.
