While Li Guangyu was still chatting with Shigeru Yamamoto, Wang Qian, general manager of the administrative department, came over and reported to Li Guangyu, "Li Sheng, Mr. Bao Yugang invited you to have lunch at the Peninsula Hotel at noon. I hope you can go.
"
Li Guangyu said, "You go and reply to Bao Sheng, I will be there on time."
"Okay Li Sheng, I will reply to Bao Sheng right away." After Wang Qian finished speaking, she left the game development company.
Li Guangyu said to Shigeru Yamamoto, "Mr. Yamamoto, don't be too anxious about game development, pay attention to the quality of the games. Nowadays, some of our games are continuing to sell well, and we do not lack games to take over. Only by improving the quality of the games
Only then can our games achieve good sales."
Yamamoto Shigeru replied, "Li Sheng, we have also emphasized one point to each game development team. We will definitely make games carefully and will never make some rough games that ruin the reputation of our group."
…
At noon, Li Guangyu came to the private room reserved by Pao Yugang at the Peninsula Hotel.
After Li Guangyu entered the private room, he said to Bao Yugang, "Uncle Bao, how are you doing these days? I would like to thank you for your help this time when we acquired the Heung Kong Electric Lighting and Heung Kong Telephone Groups."
Bao Yugang said, "Guangyu, come and sit down. Let's chat while we eat."
The luncheon prepared by Bao Yugang today was quite good. For the taste of Li Guangyu and Li Guangyu, we specially ordered some Sichuan specialties.
Li Guangyu said, "Uncle Bao, why bother? If I need anything, just give me an order. That's very polite."
"Guangyu, try it and see if it suits your taste. Uncle Bao also heard that the Peninsula Hotel has quickly become your royal hotel. You basically treat guests here." Bao Yugang said.
After eating for a while, Bao Yugang said, "Guangyu, how many Wharf shares do you have in your hand? Uncle Bao wants your help now. Don't worry, Uncle Bao will not treat you badly. I am willing to pay 100 Hong Kong dollars."
Buy your shares at a price per share."
Li Guangyu did not expect that the charter king would raise the price by 20 Hong Kong dollars. It seemed that this time the charter king was determined to take over the Wharf.
Li Guangyu said, "Uncle Bao, our Tianyu Investment Company currently holds 15% of the Wharf shares. You can have someone come to our company to sign the transfer agreement later."
The chartering king knew that Li Guangyu would have some Wharf shares in his hands, but he didn't expect that Li Guangyu would hoard so many. With Li Guangyu's shares here, plus his own shares, Yihe was sure to lose this time in Wharf.
Bao Yugang said, "Guangyu, it seems that you are really interested in Wharf. You acquired it once the year before last and then released it. I didn't expect to acquire so many more this time. You don't have any intention to take over Wharf."
Bar."
Li Guangyu has no plans to take over Wharf, so he should leave the group to Bao Yugang himself, as long as he can make a profit.
Li Guangyu replied, "Uncle Bao, I don't have much interest in Wharf. Wharf is also mainly engaged in the real estate industry. I own Starlight Real Estate Group, so there is not much demand for it. Uncle Bao is also working with my father-in-law today."
Are you ready to transform from shipping?"
The chartered shipping king had long considered that single shipping was too dangerous, and in 1978 he was thinking about entering other industries, otherwise he would not have taken over the shares held by Li Ka-shing.
Bao Yugang said, "Guangyu, does your father-in-law also think that the development of shipping is already in danger?"
"Uncle Bao, my father-in-law and I both feel that today's shipping industry has become saturated. If there is any adverse impact, it will have a greater impact on the Eastern Shipping Group. My father-in-law is also preparing to set up a real estate group to go to Japan and our Xingyue Group.
Real estate groups will cooperate to jointly develop the Japanese market." Li Guangyu said.
Bao Yugang was a little strange, why Luo Wenjin didn't develop in Xiangjiang, where he has so many connections. Nowadays, the real estate industry in Xiangjiang is also very good, but he has to go to Japan to develop real estate. Even if there is the help of Li Guangyu Group there, there is no one there.
Xiangjiang is very convenient.
…
At 3:30 p.m., Bao Yugang held a press conference at the Global Shipping Headquarters.
Pao Yugang announced at the press conference, "We, the Bao Group, now officially hold 51 shares of Wharf Group and have become the controlling shareholder of Wharf."
A reporter from the Xiangjiang Economic News asked, "Sheng Bao, your shares were less than 36 in the morning, and now you have become the controlling shareholder of Wharf. Mr. Bao, can you tell me that this sudden large number of shares is the Lee Group?"
The shares controlled?"
Pao Yugang knew that it was difficult to hide his whereabouts today from these reporters. Everyone knew that Li Guangyu must have Wharf shares in his hands, but they didn't know the specific amount.
Bao Yugang said, "The reason why we were able to obtain the controlling stake in Wharf so quickly this time is thanks to the Lee Group for transferring 15% of its Wharf shares to us."
A reporter from Xiangyu Daily asked, "Sheng Bao, after Li Sheng took down the Xiangjiang Telephone Group owned by Jardine Matheson yesterday, and today you took down the Wharf Group, we want to know if there have been similar actions by Chinese families recently?"
Bao Yugang said, "We were also lucky this time. The reason why we were able to successfully win the Wharf Group this time is also thanks to the Li Group for withstanding the pressure from Yihe, so that our Bao family was able to win the Wharf Group."
As for whether the Chinese family has any similar actions, I don’t know. I think Guangyu knows more about this issue than me. You can go back and interview you Li Sheng."
When Pao Yugang was being interviewed, Nubigian was full of frustration in the office of Nubigian at the headquarters of Jardine Matheson Group. It took a long time to prepare for this time and spent a huge amount of money just to save the Xiangjiang Electric Lighting Group. This operation was really a failure.
pole.
This incident is not only a blow to Jardine, but also detrimental to Nubigian. Nowadays, many people are questioning his ability. Many people hope that he will step down and make way for others so that they can take this position.
Nubigian thought that the main reason for this failure was that Li Guangyu and his Li Group, with their strong financial strength, did not allow Jardine to take any advantage in the competition with them. Instead, they fell into a conflict with the Li Group.
A situation in which groups compete for financial resources.
At the same time, Nubigian is also reflecting on whether there are problems with Jardine Matheson's expansion over the years. The rapid expansion has made it unable to control the group's controlling stake. When faced with an owner like the Li Group who is not short of money, whether the group can still
It is hard to say whether it can be in the hands of Yihe.
While Newbikin was thinking, the phone in the office rang.
Nubigian picked up the phone and said, "Hello, I'm Nubigian, who are you?"
"I am Henry Keswick, Mr. Newbigian. Can you explain why, in just a few days, we at Jardine Matheson lost the two major groups of Xiangjiang Telephone and Wharf? Are you this time?
But after raising more than six billion Hong Kong dollars, is this the result?"
Nubigian said, "I'm sorry, Mr. Keswick. The reason for this failure is that I underestimated the strength of the Lee Group. I am willing to take responsibility for this matter."
"Mr. Newbigian, please maintain the development of Jardine Matheson Group now. We don't want to hear about any of its groups being acquired tomorrow. I will arrive in Xiangjiang in the next few days." Henry Keswick said.
"Don't worry, I won't give them such an opportunity again." Nubigian replied.
