Chapter 446: Wei Li stepped down

As soon as Guo Qingya left Li Guangyu's office, Gan Qin came to report to Li Guangyu: "Li Sheng, Li Ka-shing invites you to attend the board meeting of Hutchison Whampoa tomorrow morning to discuss the resignation of Hutchison Whampoa's vice chairman and chief executive officer. ”

Li Guangyu didn't expect that only half a year later, Wei Li officially arrived at the end of class, and he invited Wei Li to work in his group, but Wei Li refused. Wei Li thought that he would be able to sit in that position, but he didn't expect him to choose to resign so soon.

Li Guangyu did not pay attention to the specific situation of Hutchison Whampoa during this time, and the finances there were also managed by Zhou Xiaoning, and the director Zhao Yu was still in Japan.

Li Guangyu can think that Wei Li must have been hung up by Li Ka-shing, and the specific affairs of Hutchison Whampoa are all run by Li Ka-shing's personnel, which may be the main reason for Wei Li's resignation.

Li Guangyu himself plans to ask Li Ka-shing to buy the 25% stake in Heung Kong Air Cargo Terminal in the hands of Hutchison Whampoa, and this time the board of directors can put it forward.

Li Guangyu said: "Gan Qin, you go and reply to Mr. Li Ka-shing, I will go to Hutchison Whampoa tomorrow to attend the group's board meeting." ”

The next morning, Li Guangyu and Li Ka-shing walked into the conference room together, and Li Ka-shing explained the resignation of Wei Li to the shareholders.

The shareholders have long known this, and it is meaningless for Wei Li's resignation, and Li Ka-shing's appointment as the president of the group has been unanimously approved by all shareholders.

At the meeting, Li Guangyu said: "On behalf of Heung Kong Airlines, I propose to the group to acquire 25% of the shares of Hactl. ”

Before the minority shareholders could speak, Li Ka-shing agreed with Lee's proposal, and he also said that Hutchison Whampoa's 25% stake did not have much interest in the group. And now the second phase of the terminal is still expanding, and the group still needs to pay 12.5 million Hong Kong dollars per year for it.

These minority shareholders know very well that Li Guangyu and Li Ka-shing have already discussed this matter, and it is just a process to ask them, and their opinions are not too important.

And the profit over there is really not very good, and a large amount of money needs to be invested in expansion every year, and the group will sell it if it is sold, so as not to make Li Guangyu stare at it every day.

After the meeting, Li Guangyu accompanied Li Ka-shing to his office to discuss the follow-up.

Li Guangyu said: "Uncle Li, thank you for your help this time, I have a stake in Hutchison Whampoa, and I have a greater grasp of acquiring Xiaxiangjiang Air Cargo Terminal Service Company." ”

Li Ka-shing witnessed how Li Guangyu developed his family assets from just over 100 million yuan to the current market value of the Li consortium with a market value of nearly 100 billion Hong Kong dollars, and he felt very ashamed, compared with Li Guangyu, his family business is too far away.

However, I am very happy that I can maintain such a good relationship with Li Guangyu. In particular, with Li Guangyu's shareholding, his group has developed quite well, and he believes that the stronger the Li Guangyu consortium develops, the greater the benefits he himself will be able to receive.

Li Guangyu has been making a lot of moves in aviation in the past few months, with new planes joining every month, and the Xiangjiang Aircraft Engineering Company is also expanding, and this time he is ready to eat the Xiangjiang Air Cargo Terminal Management Company, and then the Xiangjiang Airlines market will be the world of Xiangjiang Airlines, whether it is passenger or cargo, it will be the exclusive of Xiangjiang Airlines.

Li Ka-shing said: "Guangyu, you don't have to be polite to me, this share of this company is a bit chicken for Hutchison Whampoa, and it is also a good choice to transfer it to you." It's just that half of the shares are still in the hands of Jardine Matheson and Swire, I don't know if you have any way to do it?"

Li Ka-shing is well aware of the current situation between Lee Kwong Yu and the British-owned consortium, and Jardine Matheson is certainly not willing to sell his shares to them. It's not easy to say over there, after all, Li Guangyu is also the second largest shareholder over there, it depends on how the Shi Huaiya family chooses.

Li Guangyu said: "Next week, the board of directors of Swire Pacific Co., Ltd., the board of directors of our company, will raise the issue of their shares, and see how Shi Huaiya and Guo Lingming are chosen. I know that the two of them are currently short of cash, and I don't know if they are willing to take some cash. ”

Li Guangyu on the Jardine side did not say directly, the Keswick family over there would definitely not sell it to him easily, and Li Guangyu would find a way to make Jardine have to sell their shares after buying 25% of the shares in Swire's hands.

Li Ka-shing knew that Li Guangyu must have some perfect plans, and he did not ask more questions about the acquisition of Hactl.

Li Ka-shing said: "Guangyu, now that Wei Li has resigned as vice chairman of the board of directors, do you want to take this position in the group?"

Li Guangyu is not interested in this, and he has not served as the chairman of the board of directors of his own group, let alone the vice chairman of Hutchison Whampoa.

Li Guangyu said: "There is no need for this, Zhao Yu will return to Xiangjiang from next month, and he will still serve as a director here. ”

Li Ka-shing saw that Li Guangyu was not interested in this, so he stopped inviting him, and he just let the vice president who manages the affairs of the group here also serve as the vice chairman, and he himself could not always only take care of the affairs of Hutchison Whampoa, and he still needed to deal with the position of Cheung Kong Group.

Li Ka-shing said: "Guangyu, Ms. Zhao Qianyin, the director of Cheung Kong, see if you can let her stay in Cheung Kong for another year, in charge of our Cheung Kong business, I will be afraid that a talent will go over to study with her for a year, and then accept the company over there to ensure the stable development of the company." ”

Li Guangyu originally planned to transfer Zhao Qianyin to Baodao, but it seems that it will not work. Li Ka-shing wants to develop Cheung Kong again, and he has sent personnel to Hutchison Whampoa to stabilize the development of the group, and this year he is really not afraid of capable personnel going to Japan. The Changshi business over there is basically handled by Zhao Qianyin.

Li Guangyu said: "Uncle Li, I also need her to come back to take over the development of the company, and I hope you can find someone to take over quickly." Look at the fourth uncle, he has already arranged for the personnel to pass. ”

Li Ka-shing has his own plans, Li Zeju will return from graduating from Canada next year, he plans to let Li Zeju go to Japan to start working, and he has thought about leading the way. He will send Huo Jianning over here, and there is Zhao Qianyin over there, and Li Zeju can learn a lot from them.

Li Ka-shing said: "Guangyu, this time it only takes a year, besides, Cheung Kong also has 20% of your shares, and you will benefit from the development in Japan." If I hadn't known that your group was expanding too fast, I would have really wanted Zhao Qianyin to work in our Cheung Kong Group. ”

Li Ka-shing really had such thoughts, but considering that Li Guangyu would definitely not agree, he gave up such a plan. This time, Zhao Qianyin was asked to stay in Japan for another year, and he believed that Li Guangyu would agree. After all, Starlight Real Estate Group is only developing the treasure island market at present, and Xiangjiang is in a state of stagnation, and the group's affairs are not important.

For this year, he believes that with Huo Jianning's ability, the relationship in Japan is almost reasonable, and he will definitely be able to maintain the development of Changshi in Japan.
