Chapter 578: Nanyang Family

Li Guangyu did not put pressure on Li Weiming, who was investigating in Lisboa, because he knew that this was a meticulous job, and the more urgent he was, the easier it was to overlook valuable clues.

After the group's high-level meeting, Lee traveled to the Peninsula Hotel.

In the box on the second floor, the major shareholders of Heung Kong China Investment and the chairman of He's Investment Company, Ho Youguang, gathered here.

After discussing the Taipei MRT, Lee Shau-kee said: "Guangyu, you know the news from Cathay Pacific, it is said that some families in Nanyang are interested in joining Cathay Pacific, which is not a small competition for your Xiangjiang Airlines." ”

Li Guangyu himself received a report from his subordinates yesterday, and some Nanyang families led by the Singapore consortium are ready to intervene in this matter.

However, Li Guangyu is not too worried about this, it is just a big deal of fair competition, he is very confident in Hong Kong Airlines, and Cathay Pacific Airways will not be able to put any pressure on him in a short period of time.

As long as Cathay Pacific still has Fok Yingdong and Hu Yingxiang as shareholders, Cathay Pacific's development will inevitably be restricted by the Hong Kong government, even if it joins the Nanyang family.

"Fourth uncle, thank you for your concern, I believe that the senior management of Xiangjiang Air Transport Group will come up with a response plan, as long as Cathay Pacific is still a shareholder of the group, it will not be able to pose any threat to our Xiangjiang Airlines in the past ten years. Lee Kwang Woo responded.

Everyone here also knows that the attitude of the Xiangjiang government in this regard, even if it is changed from MacLehose to Youde, the policy in this regard is the same.

Lee Guangyu's airline and Cathay Pacific Airways are two extremes, one side is extremely preferential, the other side is subject to harsh restrictions, and the development environment of the two airlines is very different, which makes Cathay Pacific how to compete with Hong Kong Airlines.

Li Ka-shing said: "Guangyu, in the past two years, some Nanyang families led by the Singapore consortium have come to our Xiangjiang to open up markets, from finance to real estate, from hotels to foreign trade to public service enterprises investment, and now their momentum is not small." ”

These people all know that these Nanyang families are in Xiangjiang to prepare for entering the mainland market in the future. The continuous investment of these Nanyang families in Xiangjiang has obviously touched the interests of the major families in Xiangjiang in some aspects.

This time, Zheng Yutong, Li Ka-shing and others hope to teach some Nanyang families who came to Xiangjiang a lesson, so that they know that Xiangjiang is not Nanyang, and it is not their turn to dominate the market.

Li Guangyu himself didn't feel anything, this time many Nanyang families in Xiangjiang expansion is mainly in finance and real estate, and these two aspects are Li Guangyu's shrinking industries, so the Nanyang family has shown such a big momentum.

Especially in the Xiangjiang land auction that just ended, the Xiangjiang Chinese-funded family collectively retreated, allowing the Nanyang family headed by Guo Lingming to gain a lot.

Among them, a piece of land in Central was set by the Kwok Lingming family group at the highest auction price in the history of a land auction in Hong Kong.

And after winning the plot, Guo Lingming, on behalf of his father, announced in a high-profile manner that his group planned to invest 7 billion Hong Kong dollars to build a landmark building in Hong Kong.

What is very interesting is that HSBC plans to invest 5.5 billion Hong Kong dollars in the headquarters building, and the Lee consortium announced that it plans to invest 6.5 billion Hong Kong dollars, and the intention of the Singapore consortium is self-evident.

In terms of finance, the two major banks of Wong Cho Yiu and Khoo Teck Puat are constantly adding branches in Hong Kong, and they both belong to the British Commonwealth in Singapore, and the Hong Kong government does not have too many restrictions on them, so they are not much less than Sun Hung Kai Bank in terms of business.

And they seem to be quite optimistic about the property market in Xiangjiang, when some Chinese-funded banks in Xiangjiang led by Li Guangyu have begun to restrict loans in the property market, they learn from HSBC and Standard Chartered, as long as there is no problem with the qualifications, they can get loans from their banks.

As a result, many small and medium-sized real estate companies in Xiangjiang have invested in each other's banks, and many speculators have also gone there.

Even those who just need to buy a house are the same, after all, it is quite difficult for Lee Guangyu and his banks to obtain loans in these banks after the restrictions, while the major banks of the Singapore consortium do not have so many restrictions, and it is easier for them to obtain home loans.

Cao Wenjin said: "Jiacheng, needless to say about real estate and finance, this aspect is for all of us to let out ourselves, and I originally hoped to let the British-funded consortium invest more in this, but I didn't expect these families to come to take over, and we can't be blamed if we are cheated when the time comes." As for the hotel, the influence is not great, and in terms of trade, now in this market, they just rely on the transfer from Nanyang, which cannot affect the business of Hutchison Whampoa. ”

In fact, everyone understands in their hearts that the main problem this time is that the Nanyang family, led by Singapore, has reached into the public service enterprises that affect the production and life of the citizens of Hong Kong.

The other party is not satisfied with intercepting the Xiangjiang Electric Light Group from Li Guangyu's side, and now it has begun to meddle in the air transport industry, which makes Li Ka-shing and them unbearable.

In addition to bringing several companies closer together, the most important thing in the establishment of the Heung Kong China Investment Company is to allow the group to control some public service enterprises in Hong Kong in the future, such as transportation, electricity, gas and other industries, and expand their influence in Hong Kong.

If these companies are controlled by a Singapore consortium, then what influence do they have as a local family in Hong Kong, such a situation is obviously not what Li Ka-shing, Lee Shau Kee and Kwok Tak-sheng and others want to see.

Li Guangyu also heard what his father-in-law meant, and now everyone is dissatisfied with the Nanyang family's involvement in the Xiangjiang public service enterprise, but he doesn't have much to do at present.

The failure of the last snap-up of CLP Power Group has left the Kadoorie family now completely in control, and they have little chance left. The Singapore consortium of Heung Kong Electric Group also holds an absolute controlling stake.

And now all of you are in reserve funds for next year's property market bottom, and there is no plan to make a big investment, even if a new power company is established, it is unlikely.

The same is true for Cathay Pacific Airways, which is now a pit, with Lee Guangyu and Hong Kong Airlines in hand, spending billions of Hong Kong dollars to acquire this chicken rib is useless at all.

Li Guangyu thought for a while and said, "Father-in-law, Uncle Li, Fourth Uncle...... I wonder what your plans are?"

Cao Wenjin said: "We don't have to think about it in Singapore, these aspects are controlled by the government, even if private individuals can enter, the rate of return is very low, and it is not worth our investment." This time, we are going to Malaysia, the main market of the Nanyang family, with a focus on Kuala Lumpur, to put pressure on these families. ”

Due to historical reasons, the relationship between Singapore and Malaysia is in a state of unsuffocation and chaos, and many families in Singapore have a market in Malaysia.

This time, Zheng Yutong and others are preparing to go to Kuala Lumpur for a walk, not to mention whether they invest or not, they want to make the Nanyang family nervous first. Let them not think that as long as they can come and invest in their own turf, they can also go to their turf to grab food.
