Chapter 661 - Shareholding in Milk Milk International

On the morning of the second day, Lee met with Henry Keswick in his office.

After taking a seat in the reception area, Henry Keswick said: "Mr. Li, at present, I am afraid that only you can sit and watch the situation in Xiangjiang. ”

Henry Keswick is now very envious of the current situation of the Lee consortium and its interest groups, they do not need to worry about the collapse of the property market, they just need to watch quietly from the sidelines, and after the price bottoms, they will continue to make huge profits by buying the bottom on their backhands.

In the past few years, the Jardine Matheson Group has been fighting with the Li consortium, making the group suffer heavy losses, and the group has long been in debt, and the stock market and property market have both plummeted, so that he has to choose to sell some properties again, so as to maintain the operation of the group.

This time, he came to meet Li Guangyu to discuss with Li Guangyu the issue of the shares of the management company of the Xiangjiang Air Cargo Terminal. At present, the Li consortium already controls 75% of the company's shares, and the 25% of the shares in his own hands are not of much use.

At that time, he just hoped to keep the Li consortium with many thorns in his heart, and now in such a crisis situation, he can only sell the shares and cash out part of the funds to relieve the pressure on the group's funds.

Li Guangyu said: "Mr. Keswick, you also know the current situation in Xiangjiang, and who in Xiangjiang can sit and watch the situation at ease at this time. It is beneficial to all of us that Hong Kong maintains stable development, and I hope that Hong Kong can stabilize as soon as possible. ”

Henry Keswick didn't believe in Lee's words, and at present, the Lee consortium hopes that the stock market will fall as badly as possible, so that they can reap more benefits in it.

He knew very well that the gap between his Jardine Group and the Li Consortium was getting bigger and bigger, and they were no longer capable of confronting the Li Consortium.

He said: "Mr. Li, I came to communicate with you about the Xiangjiang Air Cargo Terminal Management Company, our Jardine Group intends to transfer the shares of this company, I wonder if you are willing to take over this part of the shares?"

Li Guangyu has always been worried about the 25% shares of Xiangjiang Air Cargo Terminal Management Company held by Jardine Group, but he didn't expect Henry Keswick to take the initiative to send it to the door this time.

Of course, he was willing to take over the company's shares, so that Heung Kong Air Transport Group would be wholly owned by him.

Li Guangyu said: "Mr. Keswick, I am very interested in this share, and I will instruct Zhao Wenhua, President of Heung Kong Air Transport Group, to go to your group to negotiate this matter, and strive to reach an acquisition agreement as soon as possible." ”

Since Jardine Matheson has sold some of its properties this time, it shows that Jardine Matheson Group is currently facing a great internal crisis, and Li Guangyu believes that the purchase price will not be too high, and Jardine Matheson Group will not open its mouth about it.

And Li Guangyu is no longer the same as before, there is no need for the British-funded consortium to be wiped out, with the existence of the Jardine Group, it is more beneficial to him in many cases, anyway, the Jardine Group cannot threaten the development of the Li Group now.

Li Guangyu only needs to get the right to issue Hong Kong dollars now, and it is not bad to leave some forces on the Xiangjiang side, so that the situation can be more stable, and the Li consortium also needs to have a British-funded consortium in Xiangjiang.

Li Guangyu said, "Mr. Keswick, I don't know if your Dairy Farm International Company has any financing plans, but several major investment companies such as Tianyu Investment Company and Xiangjiang Zhonghua Investment Company are willing to raise funds from Dairy Farm International Company. ”

Henry Keswick did not expect that Li Guangyu would suddenly jump on top of Dairy Farm International, which they snatched from the Chinese family during the financial crisis of Xiangjiang in 74, which caused the dissatisfaction of many Chinese families.

There are still many Chinese families staring at Dairy Farm International, looking forward to when they will snatch the company back from Jardine Matheson.

Now Lee Kwang Woo did not ask about the sale, but asked him if he would like to raise money, much to Henry Keswick's surprise. The Li consortium's style of their British-owned consortium is to kill them quickly, and their favorite is a wholly-owned acquisition, and cooperation is almost impossible.

As for Swire Pacific Limited, it was an accident, if it were not for the Singapore consortium to intervene, I am afraid that Swire Pacific would have changed hands long ago.

Henry Keswick asked tentatively, "Mr. Li, I don't know what kind of financing method you plan to make?"

Li Guangyu said: "Mr. Keswick, you don't have to worry too much, we don't plan to snatch your control of this company, each of our four investment companies will raise 10% of the shares, so that you Jardine Matheson Group still occupies 60% of the shares, and you don't need to worry about not being able to control this company." ”

Henry Keswick did not respond immediately after hearing this, but began to think about it, the figure of 40% is a bit delicate, so that although the Jardine Matheson Group still controls Dairy Milk International, they do not control more than two-thirds of the shares, so they cannot be arbitrary on some decisions.

He also knew that Li Guangyu and the others had been eyeing the Dairy International Company for a long time, and the company currently monopolized the milk supply in Xiangjiang, and the Li consortium definitely did not want to be monopolized by Jardine Matheson in this regard.

Whether it was Li Guangyu's kindness to him this time, or Li Guangyu's preparation of a step-by-step meal for Milk International Company, Henry Keswick himself was not sure.

He said: "Mr. Li, your Li consortium is currently the overlord of Xiangjiang, and our Xiangjiang British-funded consortium is no longer able to be your enemy, I don't know what you think of us in Xiangjiang?"

Li Guangyu also knew that he couldn't rest assured if he didn't explain it thoroughly to Henry Keswick.

"Mr. Keswick, the development of the economy of Hong Kong requires the joint participation of all parties, and the Hong Kong British Consortium has also made great contributions to the economic development of Hong Kong. The normal development of Jardine Matheson Group in Hong Kong, we at Lee's Group is also very welcome, and we also hope to increase mutual cooperation with your Jardine Matheson Group. ”

Henry Keswick understood what Li Guang meant, this person now seems to have changed his attitude towards Jardine Matheson, who used to be eager to exterminate Jardine, and now he is ready to cooperate with Jardine and seek common development.

As for why Li Guangyu changed his attitude at this time, Henry Keswick had some speculation in his heart, and the Li consortium was worried, they were afraid that there would be forces that would be unfavorable to them in the future.

As long as there is a British-funded consortium here, then their pressure will be much less, and their attention will be more focused on them, and the Li consortium and its interest groups will not have to worry too much about their situation.

At present, only Dairy International Company can be valued by the Li Foundation, and the Li Consortium in other industries have it.

Just like the current Swire Pacific Company, after the absence of airlines, the Lee consortium has no interest in them at all, and now the Singapore consortium has allied with the Lee Consortium, and they can completely kick out the Shi Huai Ya family, but they did not do so, and still let the Shi Huai Ya family manage Swire Pacific Co., Ltd.

His main Jardine Land Group is nothing in the eyes of the Li consortium, as long as he cedes part of the interests of Dairy Milk International Company, the Jardine Group does not need to worry about being targeted by the Li consortium in the future.

Thinking of this, Henry Keswick was willing to let the Li consortium take their shares, and he said: "Li Sheng, I need to discuss this matter with the Jardine family, I will give you an answer tomorrow, I think we will cooperate smoothly." ”
