Chapter 598: Division of Interests
After discussions, the Singapore consortium took out 40% of the shares, of which 25% of the shares were taken by the Heung Kong China Investment Company, and the other 15% was taken by the Ho Investment Company.
As for Li Guangyu, he himself holds 13.1% of the shares of the Heung Kong Electric Group, plus he has shares in both investment companies, and his family holds the largest number of shares in the Heung Kong Electric Group.
This time, there is no premium for the transfer of shares of Heung Kong Electric Group, and the transfer will be carried out according to the price on the stock market.
After talking about Heung Kong Electric Group, Li Guangyu communicated with Guo Lingming about Cathay Pacific Airways.
Some time ago, it was rumored that a Singapore consortium had acquired a lot of shares in the hands of minority shareholders of Cathay Pacific Airways, and Li Guangyu didn't care about this before, they were all opponents anyway, and they just suppressed it together.
Now that the two companies intend to mend their relationship, Cathay Pacific will obviously be a thorn in everyone's hearts, and if this matter cannot be properly resolved, the Lee Group and the Singapore consortium will still be full of contradictions in the future.
Guo Lingming said: "Li Sheng, the current situation of Cathay Pacific Airways does not pose any threat to Hong Kong Airlines, and our acquisition of Cathay Pacific Airways also hopes to open some routes from Singapore to the mainland, and Cathay Pacific still has advantages in the mainland. ”
Now many forces are looking at the mainland, as long as the reform on the mainland side is deepened, once the conditions are relaxed, countless capital will pour in, and the Singapore consortium is no exception.
They want to join Cathay Pacific Airways this time, not to compete with Heung Kong Airlines for the market, and they also know that their side has no hope of winning in the competition between Heung Kong and the Lee consortium in this regard.
Their idea is to move Cathay Pacific's main business to Singapore, and as for the market in Xiangjiang, it would be good to give it to the Lee consortium, anyway, Cathay Pacific's current development in Xiangjiang is also struggling.
It's just that Cathay Pacific is still firmly in the hands of Cao Guangbiao and Fok Yingdong and others, who occupy no more than 30% of Cathay Pacific's shares, and they can't call the shots at all.
In addition to improving the relationship with the Lee consortium and these companies, the purpose of this transfer of a part of the shares of the Heung Kong Electric Group is to recoup some funds that can be used to continue to acquire shares of Cathay Pacific Airways and strive to take over the company.
Regarding Guo Lingming's plan to use Cathay Pacific to develop in Singapore, Li Guangyu himself has no opinion.
The main market of Heung Kong Airlines is in Xiangjiang and Baodao, and he wants to do it on the mainland, but unfortunately for the time being, Heung Kong Airlines will not think about it, and the hope for the future is also slim.
He is now focusing on building two bases in Hong Kong and Taoyuan, supplemented by the Kuala Lumpur base, which is enough to make Heung Kong Airlines a world-class airline.
Lee said: "Mr. Kwok, I'm curious why you didn't build a new airline in Singapore, but instead thought of going to great lengths to buy Cathay Pacific. The mainland has just been reformed and opened up, and it also hopes to increase communication with the outside world, and I believe that after the establishment of your airline, there will be no problem in connecting some big cities on the mainland. ”
Guo Lingming and they also want to establish an airline in Singapore, but at present, there is only one Singapore Airlines in Singapore, which belongs to the government, and with the government, several of their families will establish an airline in Singapore, and their development will definitely be subject to some restrictions.
Cathay Pacific Airways, on the other hand, is based in Hong Kong and has a long history, and it is relatively easy for them to open some routes from Singapore to the mainland and other regions.
Guo Lingming said: "Li Sheng, I think you also know the situation in Singapore, in terms of aviation, it is more difficult for our family to meddle in some public service enterprises, this time we are also planning to break the curve to see if we can break the current situation." ”
Li Guangyu estimated in his heart that this matter was a little difficult, they did not have a stable market on the side of Xiangjiang, and if they wanted to use Singapore as their main base, they would be beaten very badly by the competitor Singapore Airlines, the other party was not as simple as a family, and many times it would not be just commercial competition, and it was obvious which side the government would favor.
Li Guangyu doesn't pay attention to this issue, as long as they don't make trouble for their group on the Xiangjiang side, and on the Singapore side, they can toss whatever they want.
I don't want to say anything more about Li Guangyu in Singapore, obviously more than 90% of them are Chinese, but the year before last, the last local Chinese university was closed, and since then, there has not been a single Chinese university except for Greater China.
Later, Li Guangyu also communicated with Guo Lingming about the affairs in Malaysia, which was mainly the competition between Tianyu Bank and several of their banks.
Fortunately, this time the Pasbo family intervened, as long as the Pasbo family was suppressed, after the withdrawal of the family's Geelong Bank, these vacant markets were enough for the development of Tianyu Bank, and at the same time, with the development of the Malaysian economy, the financial market will become bigger and bigger, which is enough to meet the development of the Lee consortium and the Singapore consortium in the local area.
The dinner did not end until 10 o'clock, and this dinner also kicked off the prelude to the cooperation between the Heung Kong family and the Singapore consortium, which can be seen in many regions in the future.
Especially in a battle with a Western consortium, the Singapore consortium did the Lee consortium a big favor in the back.
When he went back, Stanley Ho specially came to Li Guangyu's car and communicated with Li Guangyu separately about tonight's events.
Stanley Ho said: "Guangyu, I thought you wouldn't agree to settle with the Singapore consortium, this time it was really beyond my expectations." ”
He has also known Li Guangyu well in recent years, and this nephew has a somewhat independent personality and is not very willing to share his interests with everyone.
People are desperately trying to make the group listed, but he is good, not to mention that he is not listed, and he also delists the listed companies he has acquired, and wants to fully control the shares of these groups.
And Li Guangyu's current approach makes him very happy, and now Li Guangyu knows how to give some benefits to his allies, which shows that he is now slowly becoming mature.
No matter what the ally, only the interests are the strongest. As long as several groups of allies hold shares in each other and share common interests, their relationship can be sustained for a long time.
Moreover, in business, there is no need to never cooperate because of a little dispute, which will only make you have fewer and fewer friends.
One more friend and one more way, the market is so big, not just one can be completely able to eat. The more people who cooperate, the greater the power, and even if there is something, the other party must consider whether it is worth offending so many forces.
In particular, to develop a market like the mainland, it is obviously better for multiple parties to enter jointly than for the Li consortium to enter alone.
Li Guangyu said: "Uncle Jiu, I also intend to strengthen the ties between our families, and use the Xiangjiang Zhonghua Investment Company and the He Investment Company as a link to jointly hold shares in some groups, so that everyone's interests are aligned, and if there is anything in the future, everyone will fight together." ”
