Chapter 1016: The Huaji Society
On the eve of the Queen's visit to Hong Kong, Li Guangyu took Cao Weiqing to the Peninsula Hotel to attend the gathering of shareholders of the Hong Kong Consortium at half past seven this evening.
This time, in addition to these families behind the Xiangjiang Bank, the Lukang Gu family of Baodao, the Lin family of Datong, the Yan family of Yulong, and the Gao family of the Uni-President Group were specially invited.
In addition to these people, the second generation of each family also came to participate in this gathering, to enhance the mutual connection between the two generations, so that the relationship between the major families can be maintained for a long time.
The banquet hall was left to these family wives and the second generation, and Li Guangyu, the helmsman, came to the hotel conference hall.
The main reason why this gathering was chosen tonight is that Li Ka-shing, Lee Shau-kee, and others were in Tokyo during this time, and they only returned to Hong Kong this afternoon.
The price of the Japanese property market is rising rapidly, and these people are obviously unwilling to miss this opportunity, and they are focusing on the development there, and the group's funds are basically pressed on the Japanese real estate market.
In the conference room, Li Guangyu said: "This is the first time in half a year, we are sitting together again, and we also welcome Mr. Koo, Mr. Gao, Mr. Lin and Ms. Wu. ”
These families know that Li Guangyu specially summoned them today to discuss something important, over the years, they have followed Li Guangyu, the family business has developed rapidly, and now their interests have long been tied to the Li consortium, once the Li consortium is damaged, they are not very comfortable.
Guo Desheng said: "Guangyu, we all know that you won't make such a big move if you have nothing to do, just say it, Uncle Guo absolutely supports it." ”
In terms of real estate groups, among the listed companies in Hong Kong, Sun Hung Kai Properties has firmly occupied the first place in the real estate stock market in Hong Kong.
Kwok knew that if it weren't for Lee Guangyu who persuaded them to go out, Sun Hung Kai would not have achieved such results, and over the years, his family's most important asset was no longer a stake in Sun Hung Kai Properties, but a stake in the Hong Kong China Investment Company.
Although the stake is only 15 percent, it is worth much more than the 35 percent stake held by his family in Sun Hung Kai.
At present, Heung Kong Chunghwa Investment owns more than 10% of the shares of Heung Kong Bank, Peninsula Hotels, Heung Kong Electric Group, Cathay Pacific Airways, Taipei MRT and Hutchison Whampoa Group, as well as a small number of shares in their internal listed companies, such as Bank of East Asia, Asia Heung Kong Commercial Bank, Jiayi Group and China Gas.
Over the years, they have only invested in the Xiangjiang Zhonghua Investment Company, and have never paid dividends, coupled with Li Guangyu's several assists, the funds of the Xiangjiang Zhonghua Investment Company have been rapidly accumulated.
At present, the total assets of their Hong Kong China Investment Company have exceeded 40 billion Hong Kong dollars, and the current market value of Sun Hung Kai Properties in the stock market is only close to 14.2 billion Hong Kong dollars.
Guo Desheng knew very well that if it weren't for the two stock markets in Xiangjiang, as well as the subsequent fluctuations in the Hong Kong dollar and the appreciation of the yen, Li Guangyu pulled the investment company to do it together, how could the Xiangjiang China Investment Company have so much money to support this huge acquisition.
He is very aware of the situation of his future successor, at most, he is a master of success, and if he wants the family to continue to expand and develop, he is afraid that it is unlikely.
In the future, only by following in the footsteps of Li Guangyu can his Guo family achieve breakthrough development, and he does not have to worry about the decline of the Guo family after himself.
After years of development, after seeing the legend of Li Guangyu, Guo Desheng knows that the risk of developing a single real estate industry is too high, and only comprehensive development can diversify the risk, even if there is a problem in a certain industry, it will not cause irreparable losses to the family.
And if you want to develop comprehensively, Li Guangyu's support is indispensable, as the main real estate players, they don't have such a long-term vision for other industries, the energy-based industry is okay, in the high-tech industry, they don't know much at all.
Li Guangyu said: "I invite everyone to come this time, first, to discuss the establishment of a cooperation and mutual aid association, the main members of which will be all of you, this association is limited to the Chinese diaspora in Greater China and around the world, and the business elite is mainly concentrated, so as to expand our influence." ”
Although the relationship between the members of such an association is not as close as that between the alliance, its influence is very terrifying, you must know that at present, in the Greater China region and the Chinese community, the strength of the Li Consortium and the Xiangjiang Consortium and several Hsinchu Commercial Banks jointly established by Baodao are very terrifying, and they occupy an absolute dominant position in this, and this association will only focus on them.
Those members are more of their peripheral members, and through the form of mutual assistance, they have established good relations with some elites, which is more conducive to the development of several major consortia.
Hsinchu Commercial Bank is a bank formally established in February 85, jointly invested by Gu Zhenfu, Lin Tingsheng, Wu Shunwen, Gao Yuan and Li Guangyu, with several parties each accounting for 20% of the shares, focusing on supporting the development of Hsinchu Science and Technology Park, and making angel investments while taking out loans.
With the support of Uni-President Group, Yulon Group, Cosmos Group and Lukang Holding Group, Hsinchu Bank has jumped to the top 10 banks in Baodao, and it is believed that in a few years, it will become the top 5 large banks in Baodao.
Li Guangyu knows that the members of the consortium cannot be expanded indefinitely, and such a cooperative and mutual aid association is a very good platform, with these families in it, absorbing the Singapore consortium, the Malaysian Chinese consortium, and some well-known Chinese entrepreneurs around the world, he believes that in the future, countless Chinese businessmen in Greater China and around the world will want to join.
Zheng Yutong said: "Guangyu, I have no opinion on the cooperation and mutual aid association you mentioned, this is very beneficial to Chinese businessmen, if we can unite Chinese businessmen around the world, I believe that the American consortium will not be our opponent." ”
Those of you here are not stupid, and if it weren't for the continuous suppression of the industries under the Lee consortium and the government, Li Guangyu probably would not have set up such an association.
The Lee consortium, the Heung Kong consortium, and the Hsinchu Bank consortium alone are not enough to confront the US consortium.
As for the Japanese consortium and the Korean consortium, not to mention Lee Guangyu, even they can't believe it, at present, the Japanese consortium and the American consortium are the most competitive, so they can get along amicably, once one side chooses to back down, the Japanese consortium does not recommend a backhand blow to them.
The reason why their relationship with the South Korean and Japanese consortia is harmonious is that the American consortia, whether it is the Japanese conglomerate or the Korean conglomerate, are relatively similar to their industries, and it will inevitably lead to competition in the end, and at that time, the Lee consortium needs sufficient strength to face the pressure from all sides.
Once there is a cooperative and mutual aid association, then their influence will be much stronger, and there will be extremely outstanding entrepreneurs in the cooperative and mutual aid association, and they can also be absorbed into their consortium to enhance the strength of the consortium.
Other people present also agreed with Li Guangyu's proposal, and the establishment of this cooperative and mutual aid association was also very beneficial to them.
Li Guangyu said: "Thank you for your support, this cooperative and mutual aid association is mainly Chinese businessmen, so I named this cooperative and mutual aid association as the Chinese Business Economic Cooperation and Mutual Aid Association, referred to as the Chinese Economic Association." ”
