Not long after Li Guangyu returned to Li's Mansion, Gan Qin came to report to him: "Sheng Li, the Governor's Office of Xiangjiang has sent an invitation. I hope you can attend the banquet hosted by Mr. MacLehose at eight o'clock tonight."
Li Guangyu said: "Gan Qin, please go and reply to the Governor's Mansion. I will attend on time."
Seeing that the Spring Festival is not many days away, I don't know what the reason for MacLehose's sudden dinner party this time is. I just hope that it will not involve sensitive issues.
Not long after Gan Qin left, Li Xuemei came to Li Guangyu's office and reported to Li Guangyu the situation of her discussions with Jim Anderson this afternoon.
After hearing this, Li Guangyu said: "We are not in a hurry this time. There will be many opportunities to squeeze out Irving Trust Company in the future. Instruct Luo Qianwen, our bottom line this time is 15% of the shares, so that our Li Group and Feng Family shares
Added together, it can surpass the Irving Trust Company."
Li Xuemei said: "Li Sheng, we must strive to get more shares, and we can't make it too cheap for Irving Trust Company."
After Li Guangyu and Li Xuemei discussed the matter of Yongheng Bank, he left Li's Building and returned home. For tonight's attendance, Li Guangyu wanted Cao Weiqing to go with him.
Cao Weiqing said to Li Guangyu: "Guangyu, do you know what Mr. MacLehose is talking about this time?"
Cao Weiqing knew that Li Guangyu generally did not like to deal with these people, because the Hong Kong issue has always been the focus of all parties. With the rapid development of Hong Kong, it has already been an undercurrent.
All parties hope that the major families in Xiangjiang will take sides, but the current development of the Li Group has forced Li Guangyu to deal with it carefully. I don't know how many eyes are watching his family's actions now.
It was not unclear to her why Li Guangyu suddenly changed his bodyguards two days ago. Many people couldn't sit still after seeing the current development of the Li Group. They were full of worries about the Li Group's choices, so they thought of arranging personnel to come.
Come to your home so that you can pay attention to your home situation at all times.
Li Guangyu said with a smile: "Don't worry, it's probably fine. There will definitely be many people participating in today's dinner. Mr. MacLehose will not force everyone to make a choice."
Governor MacLehose had a very good reputation in Hong Kong. It was during his administration that Hong Kong's economy developed rapidly. At the same time, the Independent Commission Against Corruption was established to purify Hong Kong's political ecology, as well as some education policies and housing issues for the poor.
At 7:45 in the evening, Li Guangyu and Cao Weiqing came to the banquet hall. Many heads of the Xiangjiang family were already here, including Cao Wenjin and Cao Zhou Meiqi.
After Li Guangyu and Cao Weiqing went over to say hello, Cao Zhou Meiqi said: "Guangyu, Weixuan is already contacting the staff for you. They will come over next month, and you can go to work in your hospital after the Chinese New Year.
"
Cao Weiqing said: "Mommy, what about my sister? Will she come to work in our hospital?"
Cao Zhou Meiqi said with a smile: "She will also go to work in your hospital. I won't let her make any excuses this time."
Then Cao Zhou Meiqi left this place to Li Guangyu and Cao Wenjin. She took Cao Weiqing and walked towards the group of wives. The women still went to talk about the things they cared about, and the space here was left to Li Guangyu and the others to discuss these important matters.
Cao Wenjin said to Li Guangyu: "Guangyu, I heard that half of your bodyguards were retired Flying Tigers personnel. Did something happen?"
Li Guangyu replied: "Father-in-law, there's nothing wrong, I'm just taking some precautions."
Although Cao Wenjin knew that something must have happened, but Li Guangyu didn't tell him, he didn't ask.
He said to Li Guangyu: "You have to be careful. The safety of you and your family is the top priority. I don't want to receive any bad news. If it doesn't work, just replace all the original bodyguards. These
It is safer to use people who know the basics."
Li Guangyu knew that Cao Wenjin was worried about the safety of himself, Cao Weiqing and Li Songtao, but Li Guangyu still trusted the people who had followed him from the beginning. At that time, he had not yet made a fortune, so no force would arrange people for him.
of.
Li Guangyu said: "Father-in-law, don't worry, I will be careful and will never let Weiqing and Songtao be harmed."
When Cao Wenjin was about to say something, the staff of the Governor's Mansion came to them and said to Li Guangyu and Cao Wenjin: "Sheng Li, Mr. Cao, and Mr. MacLehose, please come to the conference room next to you and sit down."
Li Guangyu knew that MacLehose must be busy today, otherwise he would not hold such a dinner.
After entering the conference room, many big guys have come here, but this time they are all real estate big guys. Even the chairmen of several British-funded consortium groups are here, including Li Guangyu's old acquaintances.
Nubican.
After Li Guangyu and Cao Wenjin sat down, Guo Desheng next to them said: "Guangyu, the time for our annual meeting has been set, and it has been moved one day in advance by your Li Group, so that it will not delay your attendance at the annual meeting of the Li Group."
Li Guangyu said: "Uncle Guo, thank you for your arrangement. I will attend the Youth League meeting on time."
The reason why Guo Desheng was so kind this time was because he hoped that Li Guangyu would provide good advice for the development of Sun Hung Kai Properties. After Li's Starlight Real Estate Group completed the development of the first phase of Starlight City, it had no intention of continuing the development. On the contrary, the senior management of the group
He went to Baodao for inspection and prepared to develop Baodao market. Guo Desheng knew that this was probably because Li Guangyu was not optimistic about the development of Xiangjiang real estate industry.
While Li Guangyu, Guo Desheng, and Li Shauji were chatting, some people came in one after another, and they were all heads of well-known real estate groups in Hong Kong.
Seeing that all the invited people had arrived, MacLehose said to everyone: "Thank you all for coming to this dinner. The reason why I invited you to come this time is because there are some things that need to be discussed."
MacLehose is not in a good mood these days. With the Carnegie Group incident and the runs on several banks, Hong Kong's economy will be in turmoil if we don't pay attention. MacLehose has been committed to the development of Hong Kong's economy over the years.
It's not like Hong Kong's economy has suffered a setback as a result.
Everyone present responded: "Mr. MacLehose, please tell me if you have anything to say."
MacLehose said: "During this period, everyone also knows that the most popular group in Hong Kong, Jianing, has now been taken over by our government. Our government investigation is almost complete. Now the government is preparing to liquidate Jianing Group. If you are willing, you can
Think about it."
MacLehose wanted to quickly deal with the mess of Carinth, and then discuss with major banks to maintain the financial order in Hong Kong so that Hong Kong's economy could move forward steadily.
Nowadays, everyone knows that the Jianing Group is a mess, and few people are willing to accept it. Li Guangyu also has no intention to take over the Jianing Group, and the company will have no effect on the Li Group.
The person present responded: "Mr. MacLehose, I need to go back and find out more about Jiani Group and discuss with the senior management whether there is anything we are interested in."
Looking at everyone's expressions, MacLehose knew that these people were not willing to take over the Jianing Group, and there was no good way to do it.
MacLehose specifically asked Li Guangyu, Guo Desheng, Li Ka-shing and others if they were interested in acquiring the Jiani Group, but these people made excuses to decline.
