Chapter 410: Treacherous Waves
The media industry in Xiangjiang has been very excited these days, and the business community in Xiangjiang has not had such a big drama for a long time, and the last time it was back in April last year when the Li consortium and the Jardine Matheson consortium competed.
And this time it was even more intense, the Lee consortium and the British-funded consortium also joined the Singapore consortium, which gave them countless news to break every day, and the sales of the newspaper increased by two layers compared with the previous period, bringing a lot of benefits to the newspaper.
The citizens of Xiangjiang were discussing the rumored news after the dinner, and they were all speculating about what kind of counterattack the Li consortium would do next, this was the first time that the Li consortium suffered such a big loss since it was led by Li Guangyu, and it actually failed one after another in Swire Pacific and the Heung Kong Electric Light Group, and they believed that Li Guangyu would not give up.
And the undercurrent of the upper layer of the Xiangjiang River is surging, and before the Li consortium has not moved, the situation is quite weird, and no one can see how the incident will develop next. With the failure of the Lee consortium this time, Lee Guangyu will definitely find a way back in other aspects, but I don't know if Lee Guangyu will continue to target the British-funded consortium or turn his gun on the Singapore consortium.
At a time when there is a lot of talk from the outside world, the Lee Group is holding an internal high-level meeting to discuss the arrival of the Singapore consortium.
Li Guangyu said at the meeting: "Since the major families of the Singapore consortium do not take into account the feelings of the same Chinese families, then we don't have to pay too much attention to them in the future. ”
Through Gan Qin's introduction, the Qiu Degen family and the Huang Zuyao family are mainly in the financial industry, and their main business is banking, while the Guo Fangfeng family's main business is the real estate industry and the hotel industry.
The executives here are thinking about where to start if they want to make a move on the Singapore consortium, because these businesses are basically in Singapore and Malaysia, and the influence of the Lee Group in these regions is far less than theirs, which is really more difficult to do.
Li Xuemei said: "Li Sheng, we really don't have a very good way to deal with the Singapore consortium problem now, unless there is a big financial crisis, we can collapse their banks, and this requires the Singapore and Malaysian governments not to intervene." ”
Li Guangyu himself also knows very well that it is impossible to deal a fatal blow to the Singapore consortium in a short period of time, and this needs to find another opportunity in the future.
However, if these big families want to gain a firm foothold in Xiangjiang, Li Guangyu will not let them get their wish, and in terms of the mainland market, Li Guangyu will make them pay the price.
Li Guangyu said: "For these industries in Singapore and Malaysia, we don't care for the time being, in Xiangjiang, the line of Xiangjiang Electric Light Group is not time to be updated, our Li Group for the safety and interests of the public, in the board of directors proposed to replace the Xiangjiang wireline, Ms. Wang Xinyu, it is estimated that in two days, there will be a board of directors to welcome the Singapore consortium to become the owner, you will put forward such a proposal at that time." ”
The smart people here, Li Guangyu is not going to make money on the side of the Xiangjiang Electric Light Group, and he wants to pull the Singapore consortium to fill the hole in it, and if the Xiangjiang River is so big, if the lines are replaced, he must invest money in it. The Lee Group only owns 13.1% of the shares, and they are not worried about how much they will invest, but the Singapore consortium is in trouble, they want to make money, but they are not here to serve the citizens of Hong Kong for free.
If such a plan is implemented, they will not think about making a profit in the short term, they will definitely not agree to such a plan, and the media under the Lee family will report on the trend, causing dissatisfaction among the citizens of Hong Kong against the Singapore consortium.
The Li Group does not care about the profit of the Heung Kong Electric Light Group in a year, and now Li Guangyu's telephone group is busy replacing the line, for which Li Guangyu has invested 500 million Hong Kong dollars to make the call quality of the people of Hong Kong better.
The top management of the Li Group knew Li Guangyu's plans, and Li Guangyu never thought about how much money he made in these public service enterprises, and what Li Guangyu needed was that kind of influence, and these companies were related to the lives of more than 5 million citizens in Xiangjiang.
Wang Xinyu said: "Mr. Li, as long as the board of directors of the Heung Kong Electric Group convenes a meeting, I will put forward such a proposal, and I think the Singapore consortium will agree with us in order to better serve the people of Hong Kong, after all, the purpose of the Heung Kong Electric Group is to serve the people of Hong Kong." ”
Wang Xinyu's words amused the senior management of the Li Group, which consortium is not for profit, it is estimated that the Singapore consortium on the board of directors will listen to Wang Xinyu's suggestion, but I am afraid that they will have the intention of driving people away. The Li Group has a big business, and any group can be compared with one of their families, and they don't care about profits, but they can't.
Li Guangyu then said to Liu Tianci and Zhou Liang Shuyi: "Don't stop your reporters' reports on Cathay Pacific Airways, now it seems that we only have to form our own airline, for this opponent, we have to suppress him, and the hegemony of Xiangjiang Airlines in the future will not be occupied by Cathay Pacific." ”
Liu Tianci said: "Li Sheng, our side will continue to report, without your orders, we will not stop." ”
Li Guangyu naturally won't just give up, the Singapore consortium is too far away, and he doesn't have a chance for the time being, but these British-funded consortiums are in Xiangjiang, and he won't just forget it, this time he is eyeing the Wheelock Group.
It turned out that Li Guangyu was not going to make a move on him, Li Guangyu remembered that in his previous life, Huidefeng was eaten by the charter king, so Li Guangyu was too lazy to pay attention to him.
I didn't expect to ignore him, but the Madden family jumped up and down in this, and his courage was really not ordinary, he was really not afraid that he would buy them Defeng Group, or he thought that the second largest shareholder of the group was the Chinese family Zhang family Li Guangyu would not move them.
The situation of Wheelock is still very complicated today, Li Guangyu knows that Bao Yugang also holds shares in it, and the largest shareholder, the Madden family, and the Zhang Yuliang family, who is also the vice chairman of the Wheelock Group.
The Madden family believed that as long as they worked happily with the Zhang family, the Li consortium would have no chance of acquiring them. The Madden family's cooperation with the Zhang family in the past ten years has been quite good, and they don't think that the Zhang family will transfer the shares.
Li Guangyu does not plan to give Wheelock to Bao Yugang like Hutchison Whampoa this time, since the Madden family dares to make a move, he will not let them have a good time.
Li Guangyu said to Guo Qingya: "Qingya, you secretly contact Mr. Zhang Yuliang of Wheelock to see if he is willing to sell his shares, the economy of Xiangjiang is not very good now, and they will buy a lot of fleets when Bao Yugang withdrew from shipping, and I am afraid that it is very difficult now." ”
The senior executives here knew that Li Guangyu was going to make a move on Wheelock, a group that, like Swire, was also an AB share, in order to maintain their control over the group. However, the Madden family does not have so many voting rights, and they only have a little more than the Zhang Yuliang family.
As long as Zhang Yuliang is willing to transfer his shares, and the Li Group will start in the stock market, Wheelock will soon become a subsidiary group of the Li Group.
