MacLehose was also relieved to see that the Lee Group and Jardine Matheson Group had completed all the transactions. As the governor who is bent on developing Hong Kong well, MacLehose does not want to see the confrontation between the Chinese-funded consortium and the British-funded consortium, and the economic development and social stability of the Hong Kong River need to be supported by them. Once the two major consortia fight viciously, the damage to the development of Hong Kong's economy will be too great.

MacLehose said, "Mr. Li Sheng, Mr. Niu Bijian, thank you for putting aside disputes for the sake of Hong Kong's economic and social stability. ”

Li Guangyu said, "Mr. MacLehose, as a person who grew up in Heungjiang, our Li Group also takes Heungjiang as our foundation, and naturally hopes that the economy of Heungjiang can continue to improve, which is also conducive to the development of our group." ”

"We have been rooted in Hong Kong for more than 100 years, and we have always hoped for the stable development of Hong Kong, and we are also willing to contribute to the economic stability of Hong Kong. ”

……

When Li Guangyu and the others walked out of the HSBC Building, it was already dark outside, and the outside was already under the light of the lamp.

After the reporters who had been waiting outside for a long time saw Li Guangyu and them come out, they all found the target they wanted to interview and wanted to interview him.

This time, there are not only local reporters from Xiangjiang, but also reporters from some newspapers in Baodao, Southeast Asia, Japan and the United Kingdom.

On MacLehose's side, a reporter asked, "Mr. Governor, have you come to HSBC Tower for so long to mediate the fight between the Lee Group and the Jardine Matheson Group?"

"There are only some differences between Jardine Matheson and Lee on the controlling stakes in Heung Kong Electric and Telephone. They are also in order to better serve the citizens of Xiangjiang, so they both want to control the two groups in order to serve everyone, which is not a fight between the two groups. ”

Japan's Sankei Shimbun reporter asked MacLehose: "Mr. MacLehose, our news agency has heard that the competition between Mr. Li's Lee Group and the Jardine Matheson Group over the electric light and telephone groups this time has involved the confrontation between the Xiangjiang Chinese-funded consortium and the British-funded consortium. ”

The reporters from Japan obviously hope that the bigger the situation, the better, because now that Xiangjiang is known as the financial center of Asia, they are compared to Tokyo, and if the Chinese-funded consortium and the British-funded consortium fight, it will definitely have some impact on Xiangjiang's economy, and perhaps Tokyo will be able to take this place.

Naturally, MacLehose could not let these remarks spread, which would have a shock to all walks of life in Hong Kong, which was not conducive to his maintenance of the stability of Hong Kong.

"I don't know where you got this news from, it's just that the Lee Group and the Jardine Matheson Group are optimistic about the development of these two groups, so it's not uncommon for them to have some disputes over business," MacLehose said. As for what you said about the fight between the two consortia on behalf of the two consortia, it is completely untrue, and most of the enterprises in Heung Kong today are mainly cooperative. ”

When MacLehose was interviewed, Li Guangyu also came to many newspaper reporters, including reporters from Xinhua News Agency and some reporters from Baodao.

A reporter from Xiangyu Daily asked, "Li Sheng, have we obtained the controlling stake in the two groups of Xiangjiang Electric Light and Xiangjiang Telephone?"

"After some discussions with the Jardine Matheson Group, we, the Lee Group, will control the Heung Kong Telephone Group, and the Jardine Matheson Group will control the Heung Kong Electric Group. Li Guangyu said.

A reporter from Baodao Economic News asked, "Li Sheng, is it because the Governor and HSBC don't want your group to control the Heung Kong Electric Light Group this time?"

Li Guangyu said, "This time after our friendly negotiation with the Jardine Group, the Li Group voluntarily gave up the holding of the Heung Kong Electric Group, and the Jardine also gave up all the shares of the Heung Kong Telephone Group in their hands, and we have carried out an equity exchange with the Jardine Group, and our Li Group has now obtained the shares of the Heung Kong Telephone Group 97.4, and then we will delist the Heung Kong Telephone Group, which is wholly owned by our Li Group." ”

A reporter from the Industrial and Commercial Daily asked, "Li Sheng, this time the Li Group mobilized a huge amount of money to acquire the shares of the two groups, and now it has only obtained a controlling stake in the Xiangjiang Telephone Group at such a high price, what do you think about this?" ”

Li Guangyu is also a little depressed now, he spent so much money, but he got a Heung Kong Telephone Group with a market value of less than 6 billion Hong Kong dollars before they snapped up it, and he didn't take advantage of it, but lost a fortune.

Li Guangyu said with a smile, "Although the price of this acquisition of Heung Kong Telephone Group is a bit high, I believe that under the leadership of Li Group, Heung Kong Telephone Group will soon be able to exceed its current market value." ”

……

In the private room on the second floor of the Peninsula Hotel, Li Guangyu and several people were having dinner here, and today Li Guangyu specially invited Li Xuemei, Zhou Xiaoning, Guo Fengtao, and the group personnel who came to HSBC today to have dinner together, and it was already eight o'clock after dealing with the reporters.

Guo Fengtao said to Li Guangyu, "Li Sheng, I'm sorry, but I didn't arrange my work well, so that when Jardine Matheson found out that we were acquiring shares in the market, he suddenly made a move, which caught us off guard, resulting in the failure to acquire Heung Kong Electric Group." ”

Li Guangyu said, "Fengtao, you can't be blamed for this, even if Jardine doesn't find it this time, it is estimated that the final result will be similar." Besides, at that time, I also asked that we must grab a group, and now this task has been completed, as for the Heung Kong Electric Light Group, we will have a chance in the future, so there is no need to worry over there. ”

Li Xuemei said, "Li Sheng, who are we going to send to serve as a director on the current side of the Electric Light Group?"

Li Guangyu thought for a while and then said, "Xiaoning, you have to send a financial officer to supervise the financial situation of Xiangjiang Electric Light Group for us, as for the directors, let Ms. Wang Xinyu, vice president of Xingyu Group, hang a director over there, and just go to the meeting to participate." ”

After Li Guangyu returned home, Cao Weiqing was still watching the TV series, Li Guangyu said, "Weiqing, why haven't you rested yet, it's not early now, it's not good for the baby in your belly to stay up late." ”

Cao Weiqing said, "I know, it's not that you didn't come back so late today, I'm not very relieved, so I can't sleep, did you encounter a problem in today's negotiation with HSBC? Otherwise, why did you come back so late?"

Li Guangyu briefly told Cao Weiqing about this afternoon's events.

Cao Weiqing said, "Guangyu, then we have lost a lot this time, it took more than 9 billion yuan to wholly control a Xiangjiang Telephone Group with a market value of more than 5 billion Hong Kong dollars, and to control the shares of the Xiangjiang Electric Light Group, which is worth less than 1 billion Hong Kong dollars, and lose dozens of billions." ”

Li Guangyu comforted, "It's okay, we will be able to earn it back soon, besides, we won the Xiangjiang Telephone Group, which is very beneficial to some of my future layouts, and in the future, this group will also provide a steady stream of cash for our Li Group, just like Xingyu and Xiangyu Group." ”

Cao Weiqing immediately became happy when he heard Li Guangyu say that this group could be compared with the two best groups of the Li family today.
