After Li Guangyu and Cao Weiqing said goodbye to President Chiang, they went to Starlight City in Taipei to visit the construction progress.
Li Guangyu said to Lin Yanyun who was accompanying him: "We must pay attention to safety and quality issues during construction. We cannot only pursue speed and ignore quality. Our Starlight Real Estate Group aims to become a long-term enterprise. We cannot only care about immediate interests. We must
Think about it in the long term. Once a Star City project has quality problems, it will be a huge blow to our group's reputation."
Lin Yanyun said: "Li Sheng, don't worry, we have always been very strict in quality supervision and will never build a shoddy project. This is not only responsible for our group, but also responsible for the safety of our owners."
Lin Yanyun also follows the practices of Xingyue Group in this regard. The two major real estate groups have very strict quality requirements. They all know that once problems arise in this area, it will be a huge blow not only to the real estate group, but also to other groups under Li's family.
will have adverse effects.
Li Guangyu and Cao Weiqing did not return to the hotel until after eight o'clock in the evening. In addition to checking the progress of Starlight City, they also went to Hengyu City in Taipei to see the city's development here.
Li Guangyu and Cao Weiqing did not stay in Taipei for long this time. They will return to Xiangjiang tomorrow, so they seem a bit busy today.
After Li Guangyu returned to the hotel and had dinner, Gan Qin reported to Li Guangyu that Wang Xinyu from Xiangjiang had called and that there were some things that Li Guangyu needed to decide.
Li Guangyu knew that today was the time for the board of directors meeting of Taikoo Co., Ltd. Wang Xinyu called, and it must be about the issue of the share acquisition of Xiangjiang Air Cargo Terminal Management Company.
After Li Guangyu returned to the room, he called Wang Xinyu's home phone number and asked about the situation there.
"Hello, I'm Li Guangyu."
"Li Sheng, I am Wang Xinyu."
On the phone, Li Guangyu understood what happened on the board of directors.
On the board of directors, when Wang Xinyu proposed selling shares in the Xiangjiang Air Cargo Terminal Management Company, the strange thing was that neither Wooden Swire nor Guo Lingming explicitly refused.
Wooden Shihuai looked at Wang Xinyu's slightly strange expression and said to her: "You Li's consortium established an airline and took over our Xiangjiang Aircraft Engineering Company. We knew that Mr. Li Guangyu would not miss it.
This is from the Xiangjiang Air Cargo Terminal Management Company. I didn’t expect that you would wait several months before you would bring it up. We overestimated the urgency of your consortium.”
Wang Xinyu knew that the other party had understood her plan, so she said directly: "Mr. Shi Huaiya, since you have been prepared for it, what are your plans?"
This time, Wooden Shihuai intended to use this as a condition to ask the Li Group to make some concessions. The Li Group had been staring at them like this. Their development was not going well. He hoped that the Li Group could divert their attention.
, so that the Swire Group can develop with peace of mind.
Wu Dengshihuaiya said: "Ms. Wang, our Xiangjiang British-owned consortium can no longer pose a big threat to the Li's consortium, so why do you have to kill us all? Our existence still has a certain impact on the development of your Li's consortium.
I don’t believe you, Li Sheng, and the senior management of the consortium don’t understand this situation.”
Wang Xinyu didn't want to say anything more in this regard. Such an issue was not something she could decide. She just had to follow Li Sheng's instructions.
Wang Xinyu said: "Mr. Shi Huaiya, I don't know what conditions you have. Tell me and I will take a look. I will give you an answer if I can make the decision. If not, I will report to Li Sheng."
Wu Dengshihuaihua obviously had a plan in advance. He said to Wang Xinyu: "Ms. Wang, our request is very easy for the Li Family Group to do, and it will not harm the interests of the Li Family Group."
Wooden Swire then recounted several of their demands one by one, and stated that as long as the Lee Group could agree to these conditions, they would agree to transfer 25% of the shares of the Xiangjiang Air Cargo Terminal Management Company to Xiangjiang Air Cargo Terminal Management Company at market prices.
Lee Group.
Li Guangyu was carefully thinking about several conditions put forward by Wu Tengshi Huaiya. He did not give Wang Xinyu a reply for the time being, but said that he would wait until he returned to Xiangjiang.
Wooden's request this time is not difficult, and it does not have any impact on the Li Group. However, Li Guangyu still has to consider whether to let the Swire Group go and let them continue to develop stably in Hong Kong.
Wooden's conditions are not many. The first is to ask the Lee Consortium not to deliberately interfere with their decisions on Swire Holdings at the board of directors. At the same time, the Heung Kong Electric Group should not deliberately cause trouble for the Singapore consortium.
, and another point is that the Li Group does not maliciously target the Swire Group's industries.
Li Guangyu doesn't have much interest in the industries under the Swire Group anymore. Li Guangyu has the business there, and he doesn't have much use for it if he acquires it.
He is mainly thinking about whether it is necessary for the British-funded consortium to continue to occupy some positions in Xiangjiang. This is related to his future development. If he repels all the British-funded consortia, it will not necessarily be a problem for the Li Group.
A good thing.
When Cao Weiqing saw Li Guangyu thinking about the problem quietly, she did not disturb Li Guangyu. Instead, she sat down opposite Li Guangyu and waited for Li Guangyu to think.
After thinking for a while, Li Guangyu decided to hold a high-level meeting after returning to Xiangjiang to discuss what attitude he would adopt towards the British-funded consortium in the future.
Li Guangyu will definitely not stop at all British-funded consortiums now. He still has many things that he has not yet obtained, especially the rights to Hong Kong dollars. This is what establishes the status of the Li Consortium in Hong Kong. He will never let go.
.
Li Guangyu from the Singapore consortium will not let it go like this. Some accounts will have to be settled sooner or later.
Seeing that Li Guangyu had come to his senses, Cao Weiqing asked Li Guangyu: "Have you made a decision?"
As the eldest daughter of a wealthy family, Cao Weiqing is very clear about some things. If there is no British-funded consortium in Hong Kong as a target, it will often not be beneficial to the Li Group. The Li Group wants to develop stably in Hong Kong.
, it is still necessary for the British-funded consortium to act as the opponent of the Chinese-funded family. And there are some other reasons for this, and it is also necessary for the British-funded consortium to have some influence in Hong Kong.
Li Guangyu said: "In this regard, we can reply to the Swire Group at that time. We ourselves are also the second largest shareholder of Swire Holdings. If they develop well, we will also make money. As for the Singapore consortium, the Electric Light Group can temporarily let them work elsewhere.
We try to find a way, if we don’t give them a severe lesson, they will only become more unscrupulous.”
Li Guangyu plans to focus on the Jardine Matheson Group. As long as he is suppressed, the influence of the British consortium will not be too great. The next step will be a financial confrontation, and Li Guangyu's opportunity lies in the subsequent banking crisis.
This is the easiest opportunity for him to obtain the rights to Hong Kong dollar banknotes.
Cao Weiqing said: "On the Swire Group, only real estate and trade have some influence on Xiangjiang, and they do not have much influence on our Li Group. Besides, we are also directors of Swire Holdings, so we can know what they do.
, there is not much of a problem in this regard. Instead, Jardine Matheson, HSBC and Standard Chartered are the ones we pay attention to, as well as several companies from the north."
Li Guangyu knew that his main rivals in Hong Kong in recent years were Jardine Matheson, HSBC and Standard Chartered. If he wanted to obtain the rights to Hong Kong dollar banknotes, he would have to compete with these two major banks.
Now only the Jardine Matheson Group is the strongest. The four major foreign banks, Wheelock and Hutchison Whampoa, have become Chinese-owned enterprises. Swire is also half disabled. Although Jardine has suffered some losses, their major flagship groups are all intact.
With it in hand, its influence on Xiangjiang is still huge.
