Chapter 18: Li Ka-shing
On June 28, Li Guangyu received a call from Li Ka-shing to have tea at the Peninsula Hotel tomorrow morning, and Li Guangyu understood that it must be Li Ka-shing who had discovered Yuan Tianfan's actions.
In the past two months, Yuan Tianfan and his team have absorbed a total of 20% of Cheung Kong shares through multiple accounts. At the same time, through the short-term investment in the stock market to make a profit of more than 10 million yuan, Li Guangyu transferred another 100 million Hong Kong dollars to the investment company, waiting for the investment department to operate in the stock market, and at the same time allocated 300 million Hong Kong dollars to require the company to slowly start acquiring enough shares of Kowloon Bus now, so as to facilitate the opening of transportation connecting the urban area to Tin Shui Wai after the establishment of the Tin Shui Wai Industrial Zone in the future.
At nine o'clock in the morning, Li Guangyu came to the Peninsula Hotel from his home, and as soon as he entered the door, the waiter greeted him and asked, "Hello, sir, what do you need to serve?"
Li Guangyu said to the waiter: "Mr. Li Ka-shing has asked me to meet here, may I ask if Mr. Li has arrived?" ”
"Mr. Li is already in the private room on the third floor, please come with me. ”
Li Guangyu came to the private room booked by Li Ka-shing, and saw that Li Ka-shing was already waiting there, so he went in and said, "Li Sheng, I'm sorry to keep you waiting." ”
Li Ka-shing called Li Guangyu in and said, "It's okay, I just arrived, Li Sheng has something to drink." ”
Li Guangyu listened to Li Ka-shing's words and hurriedly said: "Li Sheng has tormented me, I am a junior, how can I afford you to call me Li Sheng? You can call me Guangyu, I can just have a cup of tea." ”
Li Ka-shing saw that Li Guangyu didn't say anything, so he didn't say politely to Li Guangyu: "Okay, I'll call you Guangyu in the future, don't be polite to me, if you want to, call me Uncle Li." ”
When Li Guangyu heard Li Ka-shing say this, he immediately climbed up the pole and said: "As a junior, you should call your uncle, is there anything wrong with Uncle Li asking me to come today?"
"Guangyu, recently my company reported to me that someone is quietly buying my shares of Changjiang Industrial, I later found some relationships to know that it was your company that was acquiring, Changjiang Industrial is the foundation of my Li family, you can't think about becoming the owner of Cheung Kong, we can also stare at the British consortium if we want to acquire, or I will exchange the shares of Wharf with you, what do you see, we can't do the things that are fast for relatives and enemies." Li Ka-shing said affectionately.
Li Guangyu believed that his talent was strange, and he only felt that he definitely did not come for the shares of Cheung Kong Group today, his Li family controlled more than 60 percent of the shares of Cheung Kong Group, who could shake his Li family's rule in Cheung Kong. Then he said to Li Ka-shing: "Uncle Li, our company has acquired a little of your company's shares because I am very optimistic about the development of Cheung Kong Group under the leadership of Uncle Li, and I plan to hold this part of the stock for a long time and will not interfere with the development of Cheung Kong Group." At that time, I will hang an idler and be sensible, and then send an accountant over, which will not have any impact on your leadership in the company. As for the stock of the Wharf, it looks good, but I don't have such a strong capital to swallow the Jardine Wharf, if Uncle Li is willing to be the first person in our Chinese to annex the British-funded consortium, if he needs help, I can help. ”
Li Ka-shing also extinguished the idea of selling Wharf to Li Guangyu when he heard Li Guangyu say this, it seems that the matter of Wharf still has to find the charter king, and then said to Li Guangyu: "Guangyu, I heard that your company has bought a large piece of land in Tin Shui Wai to build an industrial park, and wants to develop more than 5.38 million square feet of commercial land. But don't you think Tin Shui Wai is such a remote place, and the transportation is not convenient, and HK$50 psf is a bit too expensive?"
As soon as Li Guangyu heard Li Ka-shing say this, he knew that he must have disrupted the plan of Cheung Kong Group, otherwise Li Ka-shing would not have talked to him about the price of land in Tin Shui Wai. Then he said to Li Ka-shing: "Uncle Li, I signed a contract with RB Seiko Epson, and they helped me build a printed circuit board factory, I also wanted to quickly find a place to build a factory, so I directly found the Hong Kong Governor's Office, this is the price that the Hong Kong Governor said, I have no choice but not, this is still the Hong Kong Governor to see me go to Tin Shui Wai to build a factory to give a discount, otherwise it will be more expensive." ”
Li Ka-shing can only admit that he is unlucky, people are busy building factories to make money, and finding the Hong Kong Governor's Office is the most time-saving and labor-saving way, although the money is a little more expensive, but it reduces a lot of trouble. said to Li Guangyu: "Guangyu, your current game company is a hen that lays golden eggs, and you don't care about the price difference with the existence of this company, but Uncle Li was miserable by you, I am preparing to join Defeng to join forces in Tin Shui Wai to settle part of the land, and now that you are in Tin Shui Wai, my plan will not be carried out." Do you have any partners in the construction of Tin Shui Wai Industrial Park, we Cheung Kong Infrastructure are willing to undertake your industrial park construction project, and you are now a shareholder of Cheung Kong Group, we are completely a family, you can hand over to Cheung Kong Infrastructure to do, and we can also cooperate with you in commercial development. ”
When Li Guangyu heard this, Li Ka-shing's heart was really big enough, and he was ready to complete the Li Guangyu Tianshui Wai project. Li Guangyu thought for a while and said to Li Ka-shing: "Uncle Li, the few factories in the industrial park that I am currently eager to build can be handed over to Changjiang Infrastructure, and as for the commercial land, I am also preparing to enter the real estate industry, and this land will be used as the first project for my new company to practice." ”
Li Ka-shing heard Li Guangyu say this, so he no longer mentioned the commercial land, and Li Ka-shing was already very satisfied with the construction of the industrial park. happily said to Li Guangyu: "Guangyu, I will arrange the design department to communicate with you as soon as possible, and strive to come up with the design plan of the park as soon as possible, so that the construction can start as soon as possible, so that your factory can be put into production as soon as possible." ”
After Li Guangyu and Li Ka-shing finished talking about things, they came directly to Tianyu Investment Company.
At the company's meeting, after listening to the company's recent investment report, Li Guangyu asked: "Tianfan, how many shares of Kowloon Bus has our company acquired at present?"
Yuan Tianfan replied: "Chairman, we have acquired 7% of the shares in multiple accounts. At present, the market value of Kowloon Bus is 450 million Hong Kong dollars, and the Lui family currently holds about 30% of the shares, which is the largest shareholder of Kowloon Bus. ”
"Does the Lei family have any reaction?"
"Chief Executive, the head of the Lui family, Lui Juekun, did not notice that we were acquiring the shares of Kowloon Bus. ”
After listening to Yuan Tianfan's answer, Li Guangyu continued: "Tianfan, if you transfer the shares of Changjiang Industrial to Mengping Fund, I will become the governor of Changjiang Industrial Group in two days. In addition, Uncle Zhou, you sent a treasurer to Cheung Kong Group to supervise the finances of Cheung Kong Group on my behalf. Tianfan, I am going to set up a real estate company to develop our commercial plots, you recruit manpower, and at the same time register a real estate company in Xiangjiang, I account for 40%, Tianyu Investment and Mengping Fund each account for 30%. At the same time, I will choose a suitable secretary, and I have not been able to recruit a secretary for so long. At the same time, our loan with HSBC will also expire, you can arrange to deal with it. ”
After arranging Tianyu's investment, Li Guangyu stopped by Xingyu Game Company to learn about the company's Donkey Kong and Contra development. After chatting with Gan Qinglin for a while, he went home.
