Immediately after the meeting, Lee Guangyu held a press conference to announce the news that Lee's Group would control Wheelock, and also announced that Lee's Group would complete the delisting within this month, and Lee's Group would wholly control Wheelock.

With the news of this report, the Li Group was once again pushed to the altar by countless newspapers and citizens, and some of the figures who had previously sung the praises of the Li Group also completely disappeared.

The four major foreign banks used to dominate Hong Kong, and now two of the flagships of foreign banks have been acquired by Chinese-funded consortiums, and many people are already discussing who will be the next one to be acquired. The vast majority of them have chosen Swire, in which the Lee Group already owns nearly one-third of the shares, and they believe that the Lee Group will not give up on the acquisition of Swire.

When the British-funded consortium and the Singaporean consortium heard the news, they were very shocked, they did not expect that Wheelock, which was their ally two days ago, would be acquired by the Lee Group in a blink of an eye, and it would become their opponent in the future.

At the same time, they are also very jealous of the strength of the Li Group, and last time they were lucky on the side of the Swire Group, and those shareholders were British, so they didn't let Li Guangyu grab it. And this time they didn't even hear the news, Li Guangyu completely controlled Wheelock, and even ate the shares of the Madden family.

They are also worried that after Li Guangyu eats Wheelock, the next one will be aimed at his own group, especially those companies that he has not achieved a controlling stake.

Khoo Teck Puat and others immediately contacted Henry Keswick, as well as Wooden Schwya, and Shen Bi George Lavine, two bank leaders, to discuss how to deal with Lee Kwang-woo's possible attack.

Looking at Li Guangyu's posture, he didn't mean to mention it at all, he had just hit a wall on the side of the Swire Group, and when he turned around, he took Wheelock Group strongly, causing a huge blow to their alliance.

Henry Keswick and the others came to the private room of the Mandarin Oriental Hotel, where they discussed what had happened today.

Henry Keswick also felt that their situation was getting more and more difficult now, and the threat to them from the Lee Group was too great. In the past, Xiangjiang was the world of their several foreign companies, and these Chinese-funded families could pick up some leftovers behind them, how dare they do it with them.

As a result, since the 70s, Xiangjiang has begun to change, and the strength of the Chinese-funded family has become stronger and stronger, and they have begun to impact their status, especially after the rise of Li Guangyu, every time they take action, Li Guangyu's shadow can always be found behind them.

Hutchison Whampoa has fallen, and now Wheelock has also been eaten, and the next one is his own Jardine or the Swire of the Shihuaiya family, and Henry Keswick does not know who Lee Guangyu will attack. Fortunately, at present, whether it is his own Jardine Matheson or Swire has a controlling stake, it is difficult for Li Guangyu to take away these two groups.

Henry Keswick said: "Qiu Sheng, don't be anxious, as long as you hold the controlling stake of your group, Li Guangyu will not have a way to eat your group, the reason why Wheelock was eaten by Li Guangyu so quickly this time is completely because of its shareholders Zhang Yuliang and Bao Yugang, and the Madden family itself did not grasp the controlling stake, so Li Guangyu took advantage of the loophole and lost his controlling stake." ”

"Mr. Wong's bank and I are both listed in Singapore, so we are afraid that the Lee Group will suppress our bank on the stock market, and if there is a problem in the stock market, the news that is unfavorable to the bank will have a considerable impact on us," Khoo said. ”

Qiu Teck Puat and Huang Zuyao are quite worried that Li Guangyu will rely on the huge amount of money in his hands to suppress their listed companies.

Shen Bi said: "Qiu Sheng, Huang Sheng, you don't need to worry too much, you have a controlling stake in the bank, and Li Guangyu will not do loss-making business for the sake of momentary anger." ”

Shen Bi knows Li Guangyu quite well, he is very sensible, he will always weigh his gains and losses, if he can't get benefits from it, he will never do it.

Now Qiu Depuat and a few people have regretted it very much, they thought that the British-funded consortium was very powerful in Xiangjiang, and there was the support of the British government later, it should be said that no family in Xiangjiang dared to directly confront them, but the events of this time made their thoughts have long been thrown to the Pacific Ocean.

At first, they were very happy that the Li Group's actions in both Xiangjiang and England ended in failure, and they would have thought that within two days, Wheelock Group, one of the four major foreign companies, would be acquired by Li Guangyu.

Qiu Teck Puat said: "Mr. Keswick, Mr. Shen Bi, a few of us are ready to return to Singapore, and the Heung Kong Electric Light Group here will be managed by Guo Lingmingxian's nephew, and I hope you can give him more help." ”

These people have already discussed, Xiangjiang is like this for the time being, I still go back to the old trough to watch, don't be here by myself, the old trough was taken by Li Guangyu and didn't know. And here it will only become a thorn in the side of the Li consortium, and the Li consortium may think about making a move on its own group.

Henry Keswick really felt that the British consortium was sunset, the Madden family withdrew from Xiangjiang, and these big families were also thinking about how long the two major groups and the two major banks on their side could last.

Shen Bi and George LaVine also know that once the Li consortium has swept away the British-funded consortium, the next one will be their two banks, and the ambitious Li consortium will never let Heung Kong Financial let its two monopolies, and they will definitely attack HSBC and Standard Chartered.

Henry Keswick said, "Mr. Qiu, Mr. Wong, Mr. Kwok, we will not stop you from returning to Singapore. You can rest assured, after Mr. Guo Lingming arrives, we will support each other with him, and it will not be so easy for Li Guangyu to initiate the acquisition of our group. ”

Wooden Shihuaiya reminded beside him: "Qiu Sheng, regarding the shares of our Swire Pacific Co., Ltd., please do not transfer them to the outside world, if you want to sell them, please contact us, we will buy them back." ”

Wooden Shihuaiya was a little worried that if these shares finally went to the Li consortium, then he would be miserable, and once the Li consortium took control of Swire Pacific Co., Ltd., their family would not be much better than the Madden family. It is estimated that in the end, he can only leave Xiangjiang in disgrace.

"Mr. Shihuaiya, don't worry, we have no intention of selling our shares in Swire Pacific, and if we do have such a plan at that time, we will definitely contact you first." ”

Shen Bi said: "We at HSBC and your two banks can strengthen business cooperation and jointly deal with financial risks. ”

George LaVine next to him was not to be outdone, and he also negotiated banking cooperation with these two companies, and they were able to sit together on the challenge of Li Guangyu and the Chinese-funded consortium, but in other aspects, the two of them were naked competition.

With their cooperation, they have a greater guarantee for the operation of their banks, and at the same time, they can also get help from these two banks in times of crisis to improve their ability to resist risks.

Henry Keswick and Wooddon Schwyattle have also partnered with Kwok Fong Fung in real estate and hotels, and this is how the British-funded consortium hopes to pull the Singapore consortium back to its chariot.
