After Li Guangyu returned to Xiangjiang, he immediately held a high-level meeting of the group to discuss the future development of the Li Group in Xiangjiang and its attitude towards the British-funded consortium.
The senior management of the group are all aware of Li Guangyu's thoughts. Li Guangyu must be inclined to agree to Wooden's conditions. Otherwise, Li Guangyu would directly refuse. There is no need to bring it to a high-level meeting to discuss. I am afraid that the Li Group will treat it differently in the future.
The British-funded consortium needs to be treated differently.
After the meeting, Li Guangyu ordered Zhao Wenhua and Wang Xinyu to communicate with Wooden Swire about the acquisition of their shares and get their shares as soon as possible.
On December 12, after Zhao Wenhua obtained the shares from Swire Co., Ltd., he immediately held a board meeting of the company. While he was also the general manager of the company, he made adjustments to the staff of the British-owned consortium side of the company.
In particular, the company's financial department manager and human resources department manager have been replaced by personnel transferred from the Li Group.
At the same time, Zhao Wenhua proposed a share acquisition intention to the directors of Jardine and asked them to report to Jardine's senior management, hoping that Jardine Group could transfer their shares.
After hearing the report from the directors of the Xiangjiang Air Cargo Terminal Management Company, Henry Keswick seemed very passive. His shares would not play any role in the company. If he did not agree to transfer the shares, the Li Group would definitely ask the company
When it comes to capital injection, he will decide whether to follow or not.
If you don't follow up, your shares will continue to be diluted, and you will inevitably be forced to acquire them. If you follow up, you will be involved in a financial competition with the Li Group. Jardine does not have the financial resources to get involved in this.
go.
Henry Keswick knew that the wisest choice now was to sell his shares to the Lee Consortium, but he was very unwilling to watch the Lee Consortium continue to eat up companies that once belonged to their British-funded consortium.
After Henry Keswick asked the director to go down, he picked up the phone on his desk and dialed Shen Bi.
In the evening, in the private room of the Mandarin Oriental Hotel, Henry Keswick, Shen Bi and George Lavin were discussing the issue of the shares.
Henry Keswick thought that during the first meeting in Xiangjiang, the heads of the Madden family and the Shihuai family were still here. Now there are only three of them left, and the strength of the British-funded consortium has been directly halved.
Henry Keswick said: "Shen Bi, Lavin, this time the Swire Group has negotiated peace with the Li Consortium. From now on, our Jardine Group will be an important target of suppression by the Li Consortium. If you still act like you did before,
If it is snow, after the collapse of our Jardine Matheson Group, it will be your two major banks."
HSBC and Standard Chartered have also felt the pressure brought by the Lee Group. After more than half a year of expansion, Tianyu Bank has branches in various regions of Asia, especially in Baodao, Japan, Malaysia and Thailand.
branch, and the British side is not lagging behind, which has had a serious impact on their business.
Shen Bi knew very well that the goal of Li Guangyu Financial Group was the right to issue money in the hands of the two of them. Last time they wanted to do it, but they and Standard Chartered were firmly opposed, and MacLehose also disagreed, so they temporarily gave up their thoughts.
But Li Guangyu will definitely not give up just like this.
If the Lee Group wants to become a world-class financial group, they must control the right to issue currency in a region. This is one of the important signs of the world's top financial groups. The Lee Group is based in Hong Kong, so they naturally hope to obtain the issuance of Hong Kong dollars. Banknote power. Moreover, the Lee Group also hopes to suppress HSBC and Standard Chartered and make their financial group the overlord of Hong Kong.
Shen Bi said: "Keswick, our bank is different from your company. Any decisions we make are responsible for our customers, so many times we cannot intervene. You should know how powerful the media under the Li Group is. As long as our bank makes If you make a loss-making investment, they will immediately report it and damage the reputation of our bank."
Not only Shen Bi was very unhappy with Li Guangyu's behavior, but George LaVine was also very unhappy about it.
As more and more companies under the British consortium are acquired by Li Guangyu, their business has been continuously reduced. Especially in the past few months, the business of the Swire Group has been reduced by nearly three levels, and the business of the Wheelock Group has been reduced. All of them were lost, which made him very unhappy as the chairman.
George Lavine said: "Keswick, we also know that our bank will be the target of the Li consortium, but we don't have a good way in this regard. If your Jardine Group lacks funds, this time we will Banks can provide you with loans. We at Standard Chartered will not be involved in real enterprises."
Henry Keswick did not expect the two major banks to join them in fighting the Lee Consortium on the industrial side. As long as the two major banks supported him financially, he would have the confidence to continue to deal with the Lee Consortium.
As long as the British government still manages Xiangjiang, he believes that it is impossible for the Li family consortium to take over his Jardines.
Henry Keswick said: "We in Jardine need your financial support so that we in Jardine can withstand the attack of the Li Group. They don't have the extra energy to target you, so in this regard, we still need more from you." Give me some support."
Shen Bi said: "Keswick, as long as you Jardine have collateral, we at HSBC will approve your loan."
Now Shen Bi can't care so much anymore. He can't let Jardine fall. Once Jardine falls, the next target of the Li's consortium will be his side. The headquarters of Standard Chartered Bank is over in London, and the Li's consortium is not too It's easy to start. Since HSBC is on the Xiangjiang side, it will be much easier for the Li Group to deal with them.
In fact, Shen Bi knows that it is very risky to lend to Jardine Matheson Group now. Especially if Jardine Matheson takes out the loan of shares of Jardine Matheson Land Group, once the Xiangjiang property market collapses, their bank will easily have bad debts. This is just to deal with the aggressiveness of the Li Group. With such momentum, he can only support the Jardine Group.
After Henry Keswick obtained the commitments from the heads of the two major banks, he asked the directors to reject the Li Group's proposal to acquire shares the next day. At the same time, he said that Jardine Matheson Group was very optimistic about the prospects of the Xiangjiang Air Cargo Terminal Management Company. Jardine Matheson I will not give up my holdings in this company.
Facing the rejection of the Jardine Group, the Li Group had already anticipated that they had many backup plans to make Jardine give up its shares.
Li Guangyu said to Zhao Wenhua: "Ignore the issue of Jardine shares for the time being. The most important thing now is to manage the Xiangjiang Air Cargo Terminal Management Company well and prevent the company from major problems. I don't want to hear the news of a strike." Come out. In terms of management, kick out all the people from the Jardine Department to prevent them from causing trouble inside."
Zhao Wenhua immediately replied: "Li Sheng, don't worry, Wang Junchang is in charge of the airline during this period. I will always keep an eye on the Xiangjiang Air Cargo Terminal Management Company to ensure the normal operation of the company. I will never let this happen." situation arises.”
Zhao Wenhua knew that if such a situation really happened, he might not be able to secure his position.
