At 9 o'clock in the morning on January 2, Starlight Real Estate held a grand opening ceremony at Star City Phase 1 in Tin Shui Wai. This time, several major Chinese real estate group giants in Xiangjiang attended the opening ceremony.
In addition to Li Ka-shing, Li Shau Kee and Guo Desheng, Shen Bi of HSBC and Li Guobao of Bank of East Asia, who are cooperating with Li Guangyu this time, also came to attend in person.
On the Ho family's side, Stanley Ho, Stanley Ho, and Stanley Ho attended the opening ceremony at the same time to show the unity of the Ho family and the Lee Group.
After Wu Guangzheng arrived here, he said to Li Guangyu: "Li Sheng, my father-in-law asked me to congratulate you on the opening of Starlight City on his behalf, and at the same time apologize to you. He is currently inspecting the affairs of the shipping group in the Netherlands and cannot attend you in person. This is the opening ceremony.”
Li Guangyu said: "Wu Sheng, I'm very happy that you can come."
Li Guangyu knew that the charter king was busy reducing the size of his fleet this time, and invested the recovered funds in Wharf to speed up the layout of real estate.
This time Guo Qingya took advantage of being in Hong Kong, and the event was even more grand than that in Xingyue City. With the support of Jiayi Group, not only did Alan Tam, Chen Baiqiang and Anita Mui from the record company come over this time, but also Cheng Shaoqiu. Two big names in the film and television industry including Zhou Yunfa and Chow Yun-fat also moved in, and Ouyang Peishan was appointed as the host. Jiayi Group's support for Starlight Real Estate Group this time can be said to be its best efforts.
Looking at the influx of citizens coming today, even though there are more than 11,000 housing units in the first phase this time, Li Guangyu is not worried about this sale at all. The employees in Li Guangyu Industrial Park can consume more than half of the housing here. It is estimated that all the remaining properties will be sold in less than a week. Who makes the current housing market in Xiangjiang so crazy? The general mentality of Xiangjiang citizens during this period is that you will make money if you buy it.
Li Guobao drove up to Li Guangyu and said with a smile: "Li Sheng, thank you Starlight Real Estate Group for being able to cooperate with us this time."
Li Guobao was very happy this time. He did not expect that the Bank of East Asia would be able to cooperate with the Lee Group. In the past, the Lee Group's partner in Hong Kong had always been HSBC. He did not expect that half of the business would be given to them by the Bank of East Asia, and they The Bank of East Asia's business is aimed at employees within the Li's Industrial Park. With the big tree of the Li's Group, there is no worry that this business will suffer losses.
The reason why Li Guangyu gave half of it to the Bank of East Asia this time was to prepare for the Li Group to establish its own bank. Once Li Guangyu enters the banking industry, he will inevitably confront HSBC. Li Guangyu is now looking for allies for himself, and as a The Bank of East Asia, which ranks number one among Chinese investors, is naturally his first choice.
The influence of the Li Guobao family in Hong Kong is not much different from that of Li Guangyu and the He family. Their family is the leader of Chinese capital in finance, and even Feng Jingxi cannot compare with them.
Li Fuzhao is in charge of the Far East Exchange. Li Fook-shen is now also the vice-president of the Hong Kong Jockey Club. His family members are also giants in Hong Kong politics. There are members of the Li family in the two parliaments and in the Hong Kong judiciary.
Li Guangyu said: "Li Sheng, your Bank of East Asia is our largest Chinese bank, and our Li Group also hopes to strengthen cooperation with you and promote the common development of our enterprises."
Li Guobao has long hoped to get online with the Li Group, but he has never had the opportunity before. His bank is still too small compared with the overlord HSBC. Of course he will seize this opportunity this time. He
But no matter what problems there are between the Lee Group and HSBC, he must first get the business. He believes that the strength of the Lee Group will not lose to HSBC.
At the same time, Li Guobao also took a fancy to the Lee Group's business in the mainland. Now the Bank of East Asia is looking for ways to bring the Bank to the mainland, and the Lee Group's huge business in Pengcheng is their best partner after entering.
As the Li Guobao family is relatively optimistic about the mainland, as early as 1979, it established a joint venture with the mainland, Beijing Airline Food Company. At the same time, in 1979, it reached an agreement with the Bank of China to introduce foreign currency credit card settlement business, in the hope that it could be launched as soon as possible
Allow the family's main business, Bank of East Asia, to enter the mainland.
Li Guobao said: "Li Sheng, from the day our Bank of East Asia was established, we hoped that we could serve the Chinese and promote the development of our Chinese-funded consortium. At that time, it was also the support of the Chinese-funded family that our Bank of East Asia could achieve such development.
. We have always hoped to cooperate with major Chinese-owned groups in Hong Kong. This time we can cooperate with your Li Group, which will definitely bring our Bank of East Asia to a higher level. Thank you Li Sheng for your trust in our Bank of East Asia."
Li Guobao is very clear about Li Guangyu's influence. Just look at the current situation of Jianing Group. It's just that it was rumored that Li Guangyu was not optimistic about the future development of Jianing Group, and his group began to plummet in the stock market. Now
They didn't even catch their breath.
When news of the cooperation between Lee Group and Bank of East Asia spreads this time, Hong Kong citizens will definitely have more confidence in their bank, and their bank's business will also see a surge.
Li Guangyu said: "Your Li family has been supporting each other with the He family, Luo family and Xu family for nearly a hundred years. Naturally, I should maintain such a united style. Nowadays, the strength of the Xiangjiang Huazi Consortium is quite high, but it currently controls Xiangjiang.
The overall situation is still the British-funded consortium, and we Chinese-funded families should work together to protect the interests of our Chinese-funded consortium."
Li Guobao would not take Li Guangyu's words completely seriously. He estimated that Li Guangyu was preparing to enter the banking industry, and he wanted to find their Bank of East Asia as a helper. Otherwise, he had always cooperated with HSBC Bank before, and he did not think of himself.
The bank is coming.
Now that Li Guangyu has come to cooperate with him, it is estimated that the Li Group also knows that once they officially enter the market, they will face joint suppression from HSBC and Standard Chartered Bank. This is only because the Li Group is too big, and the two overlords are afraid of the Li Group.
The group's banks are undermining their positions.
Li Guobao is not worried about what HSBC and Standard Chartered will do to him if he cooperates with the Li Group. Over the years, Bank of East Asia has faced these two hegemons not once or twice. With the support of Chinese-owned families, Bank of East Asia has faced them once and for all.
I survived this time.
It would be better for Li Guangyu to set up a bank this time, so that HSBC and Standard Chartered Bank will turn their attention to the Li Group and just watch from behind. Their financial resources are not as good as others and they are not qualified to join the fight between these consortiums.
.
Li Guobao said: "Li Sheng, our Bank of East Asia is willing to cooperate with the Lee Group in all aspects, and please rest assured that our Bank of East Asia will definitely provide the most preferential policies to Bank of East Asia, which will definitely be better than what HSBC gives you.
.”
Li Guangyu said: "Li Sheng, we will increase our cooperation with your Bank of East Asia this year. In this regard, our major groups will come to your group to discuss specific cooperation matters in detail."
Li Guobao did not expect that Li Guangyu was planning to separate the group's business from HSBC, and immediately said: "Li Sheng, on behalf of Bank of East Asia, I welcome your senior executives to come to our bank. I will personally have detailed discussions with them one by one."
