Chapter 376: Failed Operation

On this day, John Shihuaia and John Madden did not give up on yesterday's proposal to let the Xiangjiang government put pressure on Li Guangyu, and began to actively campaign, hoping that the top management of the Xiangjiang government would agree to their proposal and let the Lee Group end the trading in the stock market ahead of schedule.

These two family elites only hope to alleviate the losses of some groups, so that they can live a little better in the family and not become the outcasts of the family.

On Sunday morning, John Schwyattle and John Madden first met with McBurney DeSean, the director of the Hong Kong Monetary Authority, hoping that he would temporarily close the Hong Kong Exchange on the grounds of Hong Kong's financial stability to buy them more time, knowing that as long as the market opened tomorrow, the stock market would continue to fall, and they would not be able to make a deal with the Lee Group within a day.

As for whether the temporary closure of the exchange for a few days will cause panic among the citizens and shareholders of Xiangjiang, this is not within the scope of consideration of these two, who now just want to be able to quickly stop the loss and leave the market, and they do not need to pay for the plunge caused by it later.

After hearing this, McBurney DeSean immediately rejected the request of these two, joking, how dare he harm the interests of all Xiangjiang shareholders for the sake of these two groups, and neither the Governor's Mansion nor the Executive Bureau will approve this proposal, and the major exchanges will not agree to such an approach.

These two young masters of the family are red-eyed this time, they can think of such ideas, and they actually expect that they can agree, I don't know what they think.

John Schwyattle said: "Mr. DeShaun, this time we have suffered heavy losses from several major British consortia, even HSBC and Standard Chartered. You don't want Xiangjiang to be the world of the Chinese in the future, please also look at our British interests, you can make a move to interrupt the momentum of the rise of the Chinese-funded consortium, especially the Li Group, if we don't stop the loss and leave the market now, once they get huge profits from it, our British-funded consortium will no longer have much influence in Xiangjiang. ”

As the director of the Monetary Authority, McBurney Deshawn also knows the situation in recent years, with the rise of the Chinese-funded consortium, the British consortium no longer has the kind of self-respecting momentum as before, especially in the late 70s, the British consortium has been constantly affected by the Chinese-funded consortium, and Hutchison Whampoa, one of the four major foreign firms, was acquired by the Chinese-funded consortium, which dealt a heavy blow to the Hong Kong British consortium.

But even so, I can't make a move, this time it's your group that loses the gamble, and their government has no right to do this, I'm afraid that I just made such a proposal, and I don't have to sit in the position of director of the Financial Authority.

McBurney DeShawn said: "Mr. Shihuaia, Mr. Madden, it is impossible to ask for the closure of the market, we cannot break the rules because of your demand, not to mention that we do not agree, even if it happened in London, we will not agree to your request." This is your own investment mistake, and it is impossible for others to pay for you. ”

John Schwyattle and John Madden never agreed with McBurney DeShaun's suggestion to close the market, knowing that tomorrow's losses were inevitable, and that such an idea could not be realized.

John Shihuaiya originally hoped to force Li Guangyu to end the transaction ahead of schedule by closing the market, but once Li Guangyu did not agree, he would be a promoter in the back, leading public opinion to Li Guangyu and the Li Group, and using the kidnapping of Xiangjiang public opinion to put pressure on Li Guangyu and leave the market with a stop loss.

It's a pity that even if you take out the interests of the British-funded consortium and the British, it's useless, so you can only change the second plan.

John Shihuaia said: "Mr. Deshawn, you don't want our Xiangjiang British-funded consortium to lose too much, once the Chinese-funded consortium controls the economy of Xiangjiang, I'm afraid that you people in power will not have a good time, after all, you are also British, in their hearts, they will always trust their own people more, especially the Li Group, you look at his group executives, he does not trust people other than Chinese, and the same is true for you." ”

McBurney DeShawn also knew that if the economy of Hong Kong was in the hands of the Chinese, it would indeed be detrimental to their rule, and without the support of the British consortium for their government, their resolutions on many issues would be somewhat difficult.

McBurney DeShawn said, "Mr. Shihuaia, there is nothing I can do on my side, I can accompany you to meet Mr. MacLehose and see what he thinks, if Mr. MacLehose is willing to help you, I think things will be much easier." ”

......

When John Shihuaiya and others arrived at the Xiangjiang Governor's Palace, it was already 11 o'clock in the morning, and MacLehose did not go to work today, but met with them at home.

After being polite to MacLehose, John Schwyattle proposed to MacLehose the intention of himself and others, hoping that MacLehose could help.

MacLehose felt very angry when he heard it, this is really for his own interests to think of anything, and he also let himself support the closure of the market, now the stock market has fallen sharply on the economy of Xiangjiang, if the government forces the closure of the market, it will cause a devastating blow to the economy of Xiangjiang, and he has been governing for nearly ten years, do you want to return to the original shape when he leaves office.

MacLehose said: "Shi Huaiya, Madden, I can tell you clearly, your idea is impossible to realize, you don't want to talk about things with a British-funded consortium, you have to admit that your own investment fails, these off-market tricks are not of much use, I don't want to cause riots in Xiangjiang under my governance." ”

After John Schwyattle saw that the market was not working, he said to MacLehose: "Mr. MacLehose, this time is not only our two groups, the loss of Jardine Matheson Group will be the sum of our two, HSBC and Standard Chartered Bank are also a lot of losses, once the stock market continues to fall, our British consortium will have a loss of tens of billions of Hong Kong dollars, which will have a serious impact on the development of the economy of Hong Kong, we hope that you can act as an intermediary, contact Mr. Li Guangyu, and we will end this transaction early." ”

MacLehose was also very surprised, he didn't expect that the Li Group and the British-funded consortium had made such a big bet this time, and once the stock market continued to decline, the strength of the British-funded consortium would be reduced by half this time.

And the Li Group relied on this profit, and no group on the Xiangjiang side could shake his position, and it was estimated that it would be difficult for several major British-funded consortiums to join forces to make trouble for him.

The Lee Group, which has tens of billions of Hong Kong dollars in cash, will be a very terrifying existence, especially for the British-funded consortium, they will worry that their listed company may change hands at any time. Last year, the Li Group did it once and snatched the Xiangjiang Telephone Group from the Jardine Group.

However, MacLehose will not stand out for these companies, this time it is a normal business transaction, and it is impossible to intervene in it himself because it is a British-funded consortium that is damaged, which will only make the people of Xiangjiang dissatisfied with Britain and them, and is not conducive to their stability in governing Xiangjiang.

MacLehose said: "Shi Huaiya, you are a business matter, and we will do it according to the rules of business, and our government will not and cannot interfere." You yourself also have to have confidence in Xiangjiang, maybe the stock market will recover in a few days, and you are in a hurry to trade now, in case the stock market rebounds, you will lose a lot. ”

John Shihuaia and John Madden were completely disappointed, and MacLehose's refusal made them know that it would not work to play with the government to put pressure on the Lee Group, and they were very at a loss as to what to do in the future.

As for continuing to fill this hole and waiting for the stock market to rebound, none of them have thought about such a problem, and in the short term, they have no hope.
