As soon as Guo Qingya left Li Guangyu's office, Gan Qin came to report to Li Guangyu: "Li Sheng, Li Ka-shing invites you to attend the Hutchison Whampoa board of directors meeting tomorrow morning to discuss the matter about Hutchison Whampoa's Vice Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Wei Wei.
Deal with the issue of resignation.”
Li Guangyu didn't expect that only half a year later, Wei Li would officially be out of class. At that time, he invited Wei Li to work in his group, but Wei Li refused. Wei Li thought he could secure that position, but he didn't expect
He chose to resign so soon.
Li Guangyu did not pay attention to the specific situation of Hutchison Whampoa during this period. The finance there is also managed by Zhou Xiaoning, and director Zhao Yu is still in Japan.
Li Guangyu could imagine that Wei Li must have been hung up by Li Ka-shing. The specific affairs of Hutchison Whampoa were managed by Li Ka-shing's personnel. This was probably the main reason for Wei Li's resignation.
Li Guangyu himself also plans to ask Li Ka-shing to acquire the 25% stake in Xiangjiang Air Cargo Terminal held by Hutchison Whampoa, and this time the board of directors can just bring it up.
Li Guangyu said: "Gan Qin, you go and reply to Mr. Li Ka-shing. I will go to Hutchison Whampoa to attend the group's board of directors meeting tomorrow."
The next morning, Li Guangyu and Li Ka-shing walked into the conference room together, and Li Ka-shing explained Wei Li's resignation to the shareholders.
All shareholders have already known this, and Wei Li's resignation is meaningless. Li Ka-shing's appointment as president of the group has been unanimously approved by all shareholders.
At the meeting, Li Guangyu said: "This time, on behalf of Xiangjiang Airlines, I propose to the group to acquire 25% of its shares in Xiangjiang Air Cargo Terminal Management Company. On top of this, I hope everyone can agree."
Before the small shareholders could say anything, Li Ka-shing agreed to Li Guangyu's proposal. He also said that Hutchison Whampoa Group's 25% stake would not bring much benefit to the group. Moreover, the second phase of the cargo terminal is still being expanded, and the group still needs to pay more every year.
A fee of HK$1.25 million is required for this purpose.
These small shareholders know very well that Li Guangyu and Li Ka-shing have already discussed this matter, and asking them is just a matter of process, and their opinions are not very important.
Moreover, the profit there is indeed not very good, and a large amount of money needs to be invested every year for expansion. If the group is sold, it will be sold, so that Li Guangyu will not stare at it every day.
After the meeting, Li Guangyu followed Li Ka-shing to his office to discuss follow-up matters.
Li Guangyu said: "Uncle Li, thank you for your help this time. I have acquired the shares in Hutchison Whampoa, and I have greater confidence in acquiring the Xiangjiang Air Cargo Terminal Service Company."
Li Ka-shing witnessed how Li Guangyu developed his family's assets from just over 100 million Hong Kong dollars to the current market value of Li's consortium, which is nearly 100 billion Hong Kong dollars. He himself felt very ashamed. Compared with Li Guangyu, his family's business was really far behind.
However, I feel very happy that I can maintain such a good relationship with Li Guangyu. Especially with Li Guangyu's investment, his group has performed quite well, and he believes that the stronger the Li Guangyu consortium develops, the more he himself will be able to receive.
Big benefits.
Li Guangyu has been making a lot of moves in aviation in the past few months. New aircraft are added every month. Xiangjiang Aircraft Engineering Company is also expanding, and this time he is planning to take over Xiangjiang Air Cargo Terminal Management Company. When the time comes, Xiangjiang Airlines
The market is dominated by Xiangjiang Airlines. Whether it is passenger transportation or cargo transportation, Xiangjiang Airlines will dominate.
Li Ka-shing said: "Guangyu, you don't have to be polite to me. This share of this company is a bit useless to Hutchison Whampoa, and transferring it to you is also a good choice. It's just that half of the shares are still in the hands of Jardine and Swire.
I wonder if there is anything you can do?"
Li Ka-shing is very aware of the current situation of Li Guangyu and the British consortium. Jardine is definitely not willing to sell the shares to them. It is hard to say about Swire. After all, Li Guangyu is also the second largest shareholder there. It depends on what the Swire family does.
Chosen.
Li Guangyu said: "Next week, the board of directors of Swire Co., Ltd. and the board of directors of our company will raise the issue of their shareholdings. Let's see how Shi Huaiya and Guo Lingming choose. I know that they are currently short of funds. I don't know whether they are willing to
I don’t want to withdraw some cash.”
Li Guangyu at Jardine did not directly say that the Keswick family over there would definitely not sell it to him easily. After Li Guangyu acquired 25% of Swire's shares, he tried to find a way to make Jardine have to sell them.
shares in hand.
Li Ka-shing knew that Li Guangyu must have some complete plans, so he would not ask any more questions regarding the acquisition of the Xiangjiang Air Cargo Terminal Management Company.
Li Ka-shing said: "Guangyu, now that Wei Li has resigned from the position of vice chairman of the board of directors, do you want to take up this position concurrently in the group?"
Li Guangyu has no interest in this. He no longer serves as the chairman of the board of directors of his own group, let alone the vice chairman of Hutchison Whampoa.
Li Guangyu said: "There is no need for this aspect. Zhao Yu will return to Xiangjiang to work next month. At that time, he will still hold the position of director here. As for the position of vice chairman, if you see who is suitable in the group, you will accept his fate.
Let’s take a look, I don’t have any objections to the comparison.”
Li Ka-shing saw that Li Guangyu was not interested in this, so he stopped inviting him. He happened to let the vice president who managed the group affairs here also serve as vice chairman. It was impossible for him to just focus on the affairs of Hutchison Whampoa. Cheung Kong Group
He still needs to handle the duties.
Li Ka-shing said: "Guangyu, Ms. Zhao Qianyin, the director of Changshi, can you please let her stay at Changshi for another year and be responsible for our business there? I'm afraid that a talented person will go and study with her for a year. Then that's fine."
Accept the company from Changshi to ensure the company's stable development."
Li Guangyu originally planned to transfer Zhao Qianyin to Baodao, but it seems that this is no longer possible. Li Ka-shing wants to show his strength again, and has also transferred personnel to Hutchison Whampoa to stabilize the development of the group. There is really nothing to worry about this year.
The capable personnel went to Japan. Zhao Qianyin was basically handling the Changshi business there.
Li Guangyu said: "Uncle Li, I also need her to come back and take over the company's development. I also hope that you can quickly find someone to take over. Look at Fourth Uncle, he has already arranged for people to come over."
Li Ka-shing has his own plans. Li Zeju will return from Canada next year. He plans to let Li Zeju go to Japan to start work, and he has already thought about the person who will lead him. He will send Huo Jianning there, and Zhao Qianyin will be there.
Li Zeju can learn a lot from them.
Li Ka-shing said: "Guangyu, this time it only takes one year. Besides, Changchun also owns 20% of your shares. If it develops in Japan, you will also benefit. If I didn't know that your group is expanding too fast, I
I really want Zhao Qianyin to work in our Changshi Group."
Li Ka-shing really had such thoughts, but considering that Li Guangyu would definitely not agree, he gave up the plan. This time he asked Zhao Qianyin to stay in Japan for another year, and he believed that Li Guangyu would agree. After all, Starlight Real Estate Group currently
It's just the opening of the Baodao market. Xiangjiang is at a standstill and the group's affairs are not important.
After this year, he believed that with Huo Jianning's ability, the relationship in Japan was almost in order, and he would be able to maintain Changzhi's development in Japan.
