Just after breakfast the next day, Li Guangyu received a call from Peng Xiaoli.
After listening to Peng Xiaoli's report, Li Guangyu said: If Zheng Sheng needs help, please try your best to assist him and ask us to send people there to try to negotiate this acquisition. This will be very important to our Li Group.
There are also benefits.
Li Sheng, I have already informed the people who went there, but this time members of the Kadoorie family also went to Exxon Energy. The purchase price will probably be very high by then. I don’t know what your plan is. Peng Xiaoli asked
road.
Li Guangyu himself is not very worried. This issue still depends on Zheng Yutong. If he can persuade the other leaders to agree, Li Guangyu himself will certainly not object.
Li Guangyu said: You don't need to worry about this issue yourself. Zheng Sheng will contact the major families about this issue. Just ask the people there to follow Zheng Sheng's instructions.
After Li Guangyu hung up the phone, he did not go to work at the group today. He gave himself a day off today. He planned to spend time with Li Songtao at home and then go to Robert Kuok's mansion in the evening.
Li Songtao is very happy today. Although he is only one and a half years old, he knows how to recognize people. He is particularly excited that his dad can play with him for so long today.
At around six o'clock in the afternoon, Li Guangyu asked He Jin to take care of Li Songtao and went to Robert Kuok's side.
Today, Robert Kuok returned home from the company early and ordered He Baolian to prepare the kitchen for tonight's dinner.
The reason why Robert Kuok attaches so much importance to Li Guangyu's arrival is firstly because of his decades-long relationship with Cao Wenjin. Secondly, since he and Ho Baolian came to Hong Kong to get married and settle down in 1979, it can be said that he has witnessed the legend of Li Guangyu.
He knew that if his company wanted to develop and grow in Hong Kong, it could not do without establishing good relationships with major families.
Now, the influence of Xiangjiang Li Guangyu and the forces behind him in Xiangjiang is increasing day by day. When he came to Xiangjiang, it was the most glorious moment for the British-funded consortium.
Unfortunately, starting from that year, the British-funded consortium began to be continuously cannibalized by the Chinese-owned families in Xiangjiang. In just a few years, the British-funded consortium was like the setting sun, and only the Jardine He Foundation was still struggling to support it.
This time, the Lee Group wants to expand its business in Malaysia, and there is a demand for itself. Kuok Henian also wants to take this opportunity to close the relationship between his family and the Lee Group, so that his family can rely on the strength of the Li Group to expand in Hong Kong.
Stable development.
After Li Guangyu had dinner with Robert Kuok and his family, he and Robert Kuok came to his study and started talking.
Li Guangyu had heard of this figure in his previous life, and sometimes he would be included in the Hong Kong rich list. Although he was a Malaysian national, he had basically stayed in Hong Kong since he married He Baolian in Hong Kong, focusing on the development of Hong Kong.
He has business with mainland China, so he will often go there.
Li Guangyu said: Uncle Guo, I came here to ask for your help this time, and I hope you can lend a helping hand this time.
Kuok Henian had long known the purpose of Li Guangyu's visit, and Cao Wenjin even called him specifically to ask him to help his son-in-law.
Robert Kuok was very concerned about Li Guangyu. During the marriage, he also let his daughter Guo Qiguang pass, but Li Guangyu chose to be Cao Wenjin's son-in-law, and his family did not have that fate with him.
Robert Kuok knew that Cao Wenjin made more than 200 million US dollars from Japanese real estate at the end of last year. If Li Guangyu hadn't paved the way for him, how could his Cao family easily enter the Japanese real estate market with only a few connections in Japan?
Earn more than one billion Hong Kong dollars in one year.
Thinking of this, Robert Kuok envied his old friend. Now that he has found a good son-in-law, he does not need to worry too much about the future development of the Cao family. Even if the successor is not close, as long as Li Guangyu is here, the Cao family will not decline.
Kuok Henian said: Guangyu, because of my relationship with Wen Jin, I also watched her grow up. In this matter, our Guo family will assist you in developing business in Penang.
Robert Kuok himself was not worried about the objections of Khoo Teck Puat and others. Since Singapore withdrew from the Federation of Malaysia in 1960, the relationship between the Singaporean family and their Malaysian family has gradually become estranged.
In particular, Singapore is no longer part of the Federation of Malaysia, but it still dominates some markets in Malaysia. This makes some families in Malaysia quite dissatisfied.
The so-called "Singapore-Malaysia integration" outside is just propaganda. In addition, the families in Singapore have deep connections in the Malaysian business and political circles, so it has become such a situation.
Especially in finance, except for the Malaysian government, most other financial groups are controlled by Singaporean families. The main reason is that the Singapore Exchange still has a very strong influence there. Companies from many Southeast Asian countries will also be listed on the Singapore Exchange.
.
Robert Kuok himself does not have very good relations with several major families in Singapore. On the contrary, he has much better relations with some Chinese families in Malaysia.
Seeing that Robert Kuok agreed to assist him without any hesitation, Li Guangyu felt that he had overestimated the influence of the Singaporean consortium in Malaysia. It seemed that Robert Kuok didn't care about the feelings there at all.
This made Li Guangyu very happy. If all the families in Malaysia were like this, it would be much easier for Tianyu Bank to expand in Malaysia.
Li Guangyu said: Uncle Guo, thank you for your help. I believe that after our Tianyu Bank launches business in Penang, it will also be beneficial to your development.
Kuok Henian replied: Guangyu, you are welcome, our Kuok Group also hopes to strengthen cooperation with your group and promote the common development of our two companies.
When Tianyu Bank develops in Penang, its own companies will have an additional channel for financing in the future, and it will also be much easier for their own companies to be listed in Hong Kong.
Li Guangyu also owns a securities company, and his relationship with the Li family of the Far East Exchange and Sun Hung Kai Securities are enough to promote the listing of some of his companies in Hong Kong.
Li Guangyu had no problem cooperating with Kuok Henian's companies. He said: Uncle Guo, our Li Group is also very happy to cooperate with many of your companies. For example, your sugar company, many of your products are suitable for our constant supply.
Sold here by Yu Supermarket Group.
Robert Kuok is quite happy about this. Now Hengyu Supermarket Group has stores in Xiangjiang and Lisboa, Japan. The daily sales volume is not a small number. This is also a big business for his company.
Moreover, Robert Kuok knew that this was the beginning of cooperation between his companies and the Lee Consortium. As long as he maintained such a friendly relationship with Li Guangyu, more of his companies would be able to cooperate with the Lee Consortium in the future.
Kuok Henian said: Guangyu, I will arrange for our company personnel to come and discuss with the senior management of Hengyu Supermarket Group. You can rest assured that there will definitely be no problems with the quality, and we will also give you discounts in terms of price.
Li Guangyu himself also knew that he could not let Robert Kuok help in vain. This was just the first cooperation. Lee Group's supermarkets and convenience stores will continue to expand and will bring more business to Robert Kuok's companies in the future.
