Chapter 365 The British-funded consortium celebrates the reception
During the two days of the weekend, many listed companies released their financial reports for the past six months. Benefited from the rapid rise in the property market, the financial performance of all major companies was quite good, which once again enhanced public confidence in the stock market.
On Monday, as soon as the Hong Kong stock market opened, various stocks experienced relatively high gains, driving the Hang Seng Index to rise rapidly.
Countless stock investors are excited about this wave of rise. Among them, the British-funded consortium headed by Newbigen even held a small celebration party for the rise in the group's stock market. I wonder if they deliberately wanted to see Li Guangyu's current mood.
, and even deliberately sent an invitation letter to Li Guangyu.
On the evening of Wednesday (July 8), Li Guangyu and Cao Weiqing came to the Peninsula Hotel to attend the cocktail party held by Newbikin.
Nubigian has been very happy for more than a month. The continuous rise in the stock market has not only made a huge profit for the Jardine Matheson Group, but also avenged last year's revenge. Last year, it was because of Li Guangyu that the Jardine Matheson Group had successive successes.
The loss of the Hong Kong Telephone Group and the Wharf Group has severely impacted Jardine's influence in Hong Kong.
When Newbijian saw Li Guangyu and Cao Weiqing arriving at the banquet hall, he immediately walked over and said with a smile on his face, "Mr. Li, you and your wife are welcome."
Li Guangyu said, "Mr. Newbikin, you're welcome. I still have time to attend your invitation."
In their hearts, both of them hope that the other's group will go bankrupt, but on the outside they behave like very gentlemen, with no sign of any hostility, and they greet each other like old friends.
This time Newbikin did not invite too many people to attend the celebration reception. In addition to some of the leaders they cooperated with, they invited Mac Lehose, Li Guangyu, Pao Yugang, Li Ka-shing and Chen Zengxi.
Except for MacLehose, these few others are their opponents, and they are all people who have caused losses to their British-funded consortium. Even if Newbikin wishes to bankrupt all their groups, but for those who can
I still admire these Chinese elites who put themselves and others at a disadvantage.
Newbigian has the pride of the British people. Groups that cannot compete with their British-funded consortium cannot enter his eyes. Only groups like Li Guangyu that pose a serious threat to their British-funded consortium can be affected by their British-funded consortium.
joint treatment. For this opponent, even if he is only a Chinese, Nubigian and others still admire his ability very much.
If it weren't for Li Guangyu, he wouldn't have held such a cocktail party this time. He, Shen Bi and others wanted to see how Li Guangyu was feeling when the stock market was rising rapidly and whether he was panicked by it.
But from the greetings he just exchanged with Li Guangyu, Nubigian didn't feel that Li Guangyu's mood was affected by the rise in the stock market. He was still so calm.
Newbigian doesn't quite understand why Li Guangyu is so calm. That's an order of 40 to 50 billion Hong Kong dollars. Every day it rises a little, it will be a huge loss. Doesn't the Li Group care about such losses at all? It's still Li Guangyu.
We can really be sure that Hong Kong's stock market will plummet.
When MacLehose saw these tycoons, to be honest, he was not too impressed by the people present except Li Guangyu. They were all real estate developers, which did not do much good for the development of Hong Kong's economy in the long run.
.
On the contrary, Li Guangyu did not vigorously develop the real estate industry in Xiangjiang. Instead, he established an industrial park in Tianshuiwei, providing tens of thousands of jobs in Xiangjiang. At the same time, he developed a new town there and made great contributions to the development of the Tianshuiwei area.
made a huge contribution.
These real estate developers will only buy land and build buildings in relatively mature areas to earn high profits, which is not consistent with their own policy ideas.
As the Governor of Hong Kong, MacLehose was quite aware of some things. Although MacLehose did not know the specific amount of some of Li Guangyu's transactions in the stock market, he estimated that they were at least tens of billions.
Li Guangyu's move of being bearish on the Hong Kong stock market also surprised him. Currently, Xiangjiang is showing a prosperous scene, but Li Guangyu did the opposite and was bearish on the economy of Hong Kong.
As the governor of Xiangjiang, he is very familiar with the economic situation of Xiangjiang. Without the influence of external forces, it is impossible for Xiangjiang's economy to experience a sharp decline in the short term.
As for where the external force comes from, MacLehose already knows the answer. Sitting in this position, he still has the right to know some things.
Currently, the mainland and the mainland are still secretly negotiating on the Hong Kong issue, and a youth delegation from the Hong Kong business community will also go north to the mainland to discuss the issue of replacing sovereignty with governance. This will be the biggest factor affecting Hong Kong.
MacLehose looked at Li Guangyu who was next to Li Ka-shing. Could it be that this young man had long ago determined that the negotiation between Britain and the mainland would not succeed, so he dared to place such a heavy bet against the Hong Kong stock market.
Thinking of this, MacLehose said to Li Guangyu, "Mr. Li, you probably know. Some of the issues we are raising at present, you must know that the economic policies of the mainland and ours are different. In order to protect the rights and interests of Xiangjiang citizens, we
The government and some elites have proposed some plans, what do you think of them?"
Li Guangyu knew very well that these plans would not work. The mainland would definitely take back Hong Kong. This was an unshakable thing. No matter how some people in Britain and Hong Kong lobbied, the mainland would not agree to the exchange of sovereignty for governance proposed by Britain and Hong Kong.
plan.
Li Guangyu said, "Mr. MacLehose, these issues are not up to me. It depends on the negotiations between your government and the mainland. As an enterprise in Hong Kong, what we need more is a stable business environment so that Hong Kong's economy can
Steady and sustained upward development.”
Nubigian said from the side, "Mr. Li, you don't have to worry too much. I believe that our government can maintain the stability of Hong Kong and allow our enterprises to develop healthily and well."
Newbigian and others were quite confident in the British. With the British behind them and Li Pengfei and others waving flags in the front, they believed that the mainland would agree to their policy and continue to maintain British rule over Xiangjiang.
Li Guangyu did not refute Nubigian's remarks, but let them be happy for a few more days. Wait until the 17th to see what kind of expression these confident people will have when they receive the news.
MacLehose's ruling career in Hong Kong has also come to an end. The arrival of the next Youde will not pay as much attention to the development of Xiangjiang as MacLehose.
Li Guangyu still hopes that while MacLehose is in office, several universities in Hong Kong can add more electronics majors to provide him with some reserve talents for the future development of the group.
Li Guangyu said, "Mr. MacLehose, the focus of emerging industries in the world today is on the semiconductor industry. I hope that the Chinese University of Hong Kong and Hong Kong University can strengthen the discipline construction in this area and provide powerful talents for Hong Kong's future development in this area."
support."
MacLehose also knows the direction of the current world economic development, but there are only a few industries in Hong Kong that are capable of doing this, and they are all trying their best to get into the real estate industry.
MacLehose said, "I will communicate with several principals about this matter. I think they are aware of the development trend of the world and will take some actions in this regard."
Li Guangyu was a little disappointed after hearing this. The government did not pay much attention to the development in this area. In addition, the local consortium in Xiangjiang did not have such thoughts. No wonder today's Four Asian Tigers will only have Xiangjiang in future generations and there will be basically no semiconductor groups or companies.
, both South Korea and Taiwan have well-known semiconductor companies. Even Singapore is countless times better than Hong Kong in this regard.
Li Guangyu also mentioned that he was not determined to change Xiangjiang. He did not have that much ability and was not willing to do some thankless things. He should just leave the semiconductor company in the treasure island with peace of mind.
