Lorence Kadoorie was in a very bad mood in a short period of time, and almost all his funds were exhausted in the share repurchase of China Power Group, and in order to repurchase shares, he took everything he could mortgage to HSBC and Standard Chartered as collateral.

And now the matter over there is not over, there is another storm on the Xiangjiang side, and the hotel group is being sniped by the Chinese family, and when he is busy coping, it is rumored that the Li consortium wants to buy its own Xiangjiang carpet company.

This made Lorence Kadoorie feel very pressure, his three listed companies were targeted by the Chinese consortium at the same time, even if the British consortium was not under such pressure, he himself did not know whether to be proud or sad.

Rorenz Kadoorie is well aware of some of the ideas of the Chinese consortium, and the China Power Group in his hands provides electricity to millions of Hong Kong citizens, affecting the production and life of these people.

And the Chinese-funded consortium now hopes to take all the influential groups in Heung Kong into their hands in order to achieve some of their goals.

Lorence Kadoorie would not be willing to give up CLP Power, he was very optimistic about the future development of Hong Kong, and he did not want the company he had established by his family to be a wedding dress for others.

While he was thinking about this, his assistant came to the office and reported to him: "Chairman, I have just received news that Heung Kong Electric Group intends to expand its business to the Kowloon New Territories. ”

Roland Kadoorie is not very anxious about this news, the Singapore consortium is supporting itself, and it is impossible for the Heung Kong Electric Group to expand at this time, they will not spend a lot of money on it, and the power generation capacity of the Heung Kong Electric Group cannot support their expansion.

He didn't think enough that this must be the Li Consortium making trouble in it again, the Li Consortium is the second largest shareholder over there, it is too easy for them to get something out, and the target is obviously their own side.

After the assistant left, Rorentz Kadoorie found Guo Lingming's phone, picked up the office phone and dialed it.

Guo Lingming also received the news spread outside at this time, he knew that this must have been arranged by the Li consortium, and the board of directors had only been held in the morning, and the news spread in the afternoon.

At the same time, he also felt a lot of pressure, this time it was not only Wang Xinyu who put forward his opinion, but many directors of the group supported the expansion of Heung Kong Electric Group, if it were not for his absolute controlling stake, this matter would be really difficult to handle.

For himself, of course, he also hopes that the business area of Heung Kong Electric Group will be as wide as possible, but in the face of the Li consortium, he also has to join forces with the British consortium and the Kadoorie family to jointly deal with the pressure brought by the Li consortium.

He believes that once Cheng Yu-tung and others acquire the China Power Group, they will immediately enter the markets of Heung Kong Island and Lamma Island to seize the market of the Heung Kong Electric Group.

When Guo Lingming was still thinking, the phone on the desk rang, and he picked up the receiver and said, "Hey, hello, I'm Guo Lingming." ”

"Mr. Guo, I'm Lorence Kadoorie. ”

As soon as Guo Lingming heard that it was Roland Kadoorie calling, he could guess that it was for the morning board meeting.

He said, "Mr. Kadoorie, may I ask you what is the matter?"

Lorence Kadoorie said: "Guo Sheng, I think you have also received the news from outside, our families are now facing the suppression of several major Chinese families in Xiangjiang led by the Li Consortium, and we should unite at this time, otherwise we will only be broken by each of them." ”

Roland Kadoorie didn't want Guo Lingming's head to heat up, and suddenly turned his gun on China Power Group, which made the situation of the Kadoorie family business even worse.

Guo Lingming said: "Mr. Kadoorie, some rumors outside are wrong, we Heung Kong Electric Light Group and your China Power Group have always been well water and do not interfere with river water, and both stick to their respective markets. Although some shareholders proposed that Heung Kong Electric Group enter the Kowloon New Territories this time, I rejected it. ”

Lorence Kadoorie heard Guo Lingming reject such an offer, and the trace of worry in his heart was completely relieved.

It seems that Guo Lingming still understands the current situation, now is not the time for them to fight, their main opponents are the major families headed by the Li consortium. Those few companies were too ambitious and wanted to monopolize Xiangjiang in all aspects.

Lorence Kadoorie said: "Mr. Guo, please rest assured that as long as our Kadoorie family still controls the China Power Group, we will not enter the market of your Heung Kong Electric Group. As long as the two of us join forces, I believe that the Li consortium will not have much to do with us in the Heung Kong electricity market. ”

Guo Lingming also knew that he and the Kadoorie family had formed a de facto monopoly on Heung Kong Power, and as long as the two of them did not fight each other, it was very easy to make money. It's just that he doesn't agree with the latter sentence of Lorence Kadoorie. As long as Li Guangyu and the major families in Xiangjiang are willing to throw money into it, they can quickly establish a power group.

Guo Lingming believes that as long as they are willing, in less than five years, China Power Group and Heung Kong Electric Group will face considerable pressure, just look at the current Wellcome supermarket. It's been almost a month now, and there is still no intention of stopping the price war.

He himself knows some news, and now Wellcome, Hengyu and Watsons do not make money at all, but can only operate with capital protection.

He is very worried that when the Li consortium gets another power group to operate like this, and their Heung Kong Electric Group and China Power Group will also fall into such a strange circle, then they will be miserable, and it is estimated that the Kadoorie family will not be much better.

His side is a bank investment, which needs to be profitable, and the Kadoorie family has so many loans, and the interest is enough to drag them down.

Fortunately, he doesn't have to worry about it because the Li consortium is not too rich in funds at present, and part of their profits have to pay for the purchase of flights by Heung Kong Airlines, and part of it has to support the expansion of Tianyu Bank.

If the power group invests too little, it will not affect the two groups, and if a large amount of investment does not take out loans, the Li consortium will not be able to bear it for the time being.

Guo Lingming said to Lorence Kadoorie: "We at Heung Kong Electric Group are currently focusing on stability, you can rest assured, and I also hope that our relationship can be maintained forever, and there will be no lose-lose situation." ”

Lorence Kadoorie immediately said: "Guo Sheng, please rest assured, we will never do such a thing, our family is now facing the suppression of the Li consortium, and the Kadoorie family does not want to end up in a situation of isolation and helplessness." ”

Subsequently, Lorence Kadoorie also communicated with Guo Lingming about the current situation and expressed his views on some issues in Hong Kong.

At the same time, Roland Kadoorie also hopes that Guo Lingming can give him financial support when the Kadoorie family is short of funds, so as to cope with the acquisition of the listed company by the Li consortium and the Heung Kong Chinese family.
