Chapter 919: Swire Group

……

However, after Li Zekai explained his intentions, Liu Dong shook his head with a smile, "No need, I know Ling Zun's physical condition, his body is fine, and he doesn't need me to take action, as long as he takes my Jade Toad Heart Protection Pill, after consolidating the foundation and cultivating the yuan, his body will naturally recover his health!"

"After that, ......!"

Although Li Zekai didn't finish speaking, looking at the look of longing in the other party's eyes, Liu Dong also knew in his heart that this kind of thing was unavoidable, and he also wanted to pull a few high-quality allies in the Hong Kong business community, so he nodded and said: "In the future, if Ling Zun is not feeling well, you can go to me, but this matter is only known to the Li family, if it spreads outside, I didn't say what I said just now!"

Li Zekai can understand Liu Dong's concerns, if the other party's magical medical skills are exposed, then it is definitely not one or two people who come to the door, but thousands, or even tens of thousands!

Even if Liu Dong doesn't do anything for a day, it is impossible for him to see a doctor for people all over the world!

"Liu Dong, don't worry, I can assure you that this matter will definitely not spread from the Li family!"

Although Liu Dong knew that such a guarantee was not reliable, this was already the best method that Liu Dong could think of!

"I believe in you!"

After the two looked at each other and smiled, Li Zekai said again: "Oh." That's right. This time I came except for what happened just now. My father also asked me to remind you of one thing!"

"Remind me?" Liu Dong said in surprise.

"That's right!" After nodding, Li Zekai said, "Have you been buying shares in Cathay Pacific recently?"

Liu Dong didn't keep this matter secret at all, and it was not difficult to find out with the Li family's connections in Hong Kong, so Liu Dong simply nodded.

"It didn't go well, did it?"

"That's right, Swire insists on refusing to sell its shares in China Thailand!"

Speaking of this, Liu Dong is a little distressed, in this period of depression in the international aviation industry, he has offered Cathay Pacific's parent company, Swire Group, $1 billion to buy 53% of Cathay Pacific shares. This is already equivalent to the market price of Cathay Pacific shares before the 9/11 terrorist attacks. But those dead-eyed Brits just won't sell!

Looking at the sad look on Liu Dong's face, Li Zekai breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, it turned out that Liu Dong could not easily solve everything.

To tell the truth, after getting to know Liu Dong again, the other party's ability in business, antique collection, and gambling table, and even recently revealed excellent medical skills, his talent is excellent, and his ability is strong. gave Li Zekai, who was born in a famous family, a lot of pressure, as if anything that seemed impossible to others could be solved in the hands of the other party. Easy to solve!

But now it seems that the other party is not omnipotent!

And this kind of Liu Dong is undoubtedly much more real in Li Zekai's heart, not as difficult to approach as before!

"Cathay Pacific Airways, as the largest airline in Hong Kong, has a good future, even if there is a crisis now, but those shrewd devils will not sell it easily, so unless you are really willing to pay a big price that is difficult for them to refuse, they will not sell!"

"Big price, what kind of big price?" Liu Dong asked.

"Double the normal market value of Cathay Pacific!"

"I***!" Liu Dong couldn't help but scold!

"If I really double it and buy it again, I'll be a fool, stupid!" Liu Dong said angrily.

"So, since you can't break through the front, you have to save the country with a curve!"

Looking at Li Zekai who was smiling, Liu Dong immediately said: "If you have anything to say, don't sell Guanzi, otherwise you won't want to get my 'Jade Toad Heart Protecting Pill' in the future!"

Liu Dong's words fell, Li Zekai's smile froze, he was pinched by Liu Dong's pulse, and then sighed with a dejected expression and said: "Okay, okay, just say no!"

After glancing at Liu Dong, Li Zekai continued: "Since you plan to acquire Cathay Pacific, you want to know a lot about the Swire Group behind it, right?"

"Nonsense, have you ever seen a corporate acquisition case that was launched without knowing the background information?" Liu Dong said angrily.

"Hehe, of course there is no such situation, but many times, in the process of mergers and acquisitions, not all the information of the acquired company can be grasped by the merger and acquisition sponsor or enterprise!"

"Oh?"

Looking at Liu Dong's inquiring eyes, Li Zekai said: "I believe you must know the background of Swire Group, so I won't say more, but this British large company, ranked 893rd in the world, does not directly control Cathay Pacific Airways, and there is also a Swire Pacific Co., Ltd. between Cathay Pacific and Swire Group headquarters, which controls all the real estate, aviation, shipping, beverage, industrial, insurance and other businesses of Swire Group in Greater China!"

"I know this, but even if this Swire Pacific Co., Ltd. holds the shares of Cathay Pacific, it will not be able to take Cathay Pacific unless the UK headquarters of Swire Group agrees!" Liu Dong frowned.

"Of course, the acquisition of Cathay Pacific requires the consent of Swire Group headquarters, but not Swire Pacific?"

"What do you mean?"

"Because, the Swire group headquartered in the UK only has 34 percent of the shares of Swire Pacific Limited!"

When Li Zekai's words fell, Liu Dong's eyes immediately lit up.

Noticing his expression, Li Zekai continued: "...... Except for half of the remaining 62 percent of Swire Pacific's shares in the secondary market, the rest is basically controlled by Hong Kong and Macau tycoons, with 12 percent in the hands of our Li family, 7.64 percent in the hands of He Gambling Wang, 4.78 percent in the Bao family, and more than 1 percent in the hands of the remaining There are three more shares above, these shares of our Li family, plus the help of the Qiu family, can help you secretly collect, the remaining circulating shares in the market, as long as we do secret, can control more than half of the shares in one fell swoop before the Swire Group reacts, and then the overall situation has been decided, and the Swire Group will not be able to return to the sky no matter how rich it is!"

After listening, Liu Dong did not immediately express his position, he knew that this was a flattering move made by the Li family and the Qiu family after seeing his miraculous medical treatment, in fact, it was a bit too much to please, and it was certain that he wanted to take this opportunity to deepen the relationship between them.

But even if he knew, Liu Dong was not ready to refuse, because this was the most feasible way for him to master Cathay Pacific!

In addition, the real estate department of Swire Pacific Limited holds a large number of high-quality land in Hong Kong, and there are also high-quality properties such as Taikoo Shing, Pacific Place, and Festival Walk, which coincide with the business of Liu Dongshou Zhongyang Group.

In addition, Swire Hotels' three five-star hotels, as well as more than a dozen star hotels in Bristol, Esset, Chattenham and Brighton in the United Kingdom, can also be seamlessly integrated with K. Wah Hotels Group.

Liu Dong can also eat the Swire Dockyard and Swire Steamship, because when he was in Colombia, after taking over the property of Muñoz, he had already inserted his hand into the shipping industry! Although it was not yet possible to get it on the surface, this did not hinder Liu Dong's enthusiasm for the shipping industry.

Swire Beverages is one of The Coca-Cola Company's strategic business partners and has been designated as a 'Major Authorized Manufacturer' by the Company. Swire also works closely with The Coca-Cola Company on brand development and marketing. Swire Beverages also has franchises to manufacture, market and distribute Coca-Cola products in Hong Kong, Taiwan, 11 states in the United States and seven provinces in Chinese mainland, covering a population of more than 420 million.

Swire Beverage's annual pre-tax profit alone is more than $1 billion, and Liu Dong is still greedy for this department, but he values more profits, not much interest in the beverage industry, if Swire is willing to pay a high price, Liu Dong doesn't mind returning this department to them.

Needless to say, whether it is Cathay Pacific, Xiamenmen Aircraft Engineering Co., Ltd., Hong Kong Aircraft Engineering Co., Ltd., Shandong-East Aircraft Engineering Co., Ltd., and Hong Kong Aero Engine Maintenance Services Co., Ltd., Liu Dong is impossible to give up!

Swire Group's industrial arm is dominated by joint venture agreements with Bneimen, Carlsberg and Taylor's to develop paint oil manufacturing, beer brewing and sugar refining businesses in Chinese mainland, although it is not yet known how much Swire has a stake in them, but paint manufacturing can be combined with Liu Dong's real estate and home improvement companies. Liu Dong was not very interested in the rest of the beer making and sugar refining business!

The trading arm of the Swire Group mainly sells a range of branded sports shoes such as Reebok and Luxok, as well as the distribution of cars and vans throughout Greater China, such as Swedish Billionaire, Volkswagen of Germany, SEAT of Spain, Ferrari of Italy, Maserati, Hyundai and Kia of South Korea.

Swire Pacific, which focuses primarily on marine insurance, could be merged into the newly established GCA Insurance Company.

Not to mention Swire Tourism, the underground K. Wah Travel Company under Liu Dongshou is expanding rapidly! And Taigu Tourism, whose main business is concentrated in Hong Kong, Macao, Taiwan and southern China, is undoubtedly the best bridgehead for K. Wah Travel to go abroad!

After analyzing the business of Swire Pacific Co., Ltd. in such detail, Liu Dong was surprised to find that more than half of the business overlapped with many of his branches.

"It seems that it won't work if you don't buy it!" Liu Dong touched his chin and said secretly in his heart.

After his mind was set, Liu Dong took out his mobile phone and dialed Zhang Fan's number!
