Chapter five hundred and twentieth the hotel of dystocia
On the morning of March 21, the news that Cathay Pacific Airways sold six aircraft aroused heated discussion among the citizens of Hong Kong.
Because today is Sunday, Li Guangyu did not go to work at the group today. He looked at the reports in the newspapers and couldn't tell what he felt. If those few people hadn't interfered at the beginning, Cathay Pacific might have been killed by him.
After being acquired, how could these aircraft end up being sold off now?
Li Guangyu himself is also aware of some of the situation at Cathay Pacific, and he knows that Cathay Pacific cannot survive for long if this continues.
In terms of aviation scheduling, Li Guangyu really did not specifically target Cathay Pacific. Kai Tak Airport Management Company specifically targeted Cathay Pacific in this regard, mainly because of the problems of the shareholders behind Cathay Pacific.
After reading the newspaper, Cao Weiqing said to Li Guangyu: "Guangyu, Huikang City also implements Watson's wage standards. I'm afraid it won't be over in a short time. The Economic News commented that our Li family is a Chinese capital company."
The stalemate between the consortium and the British-funded consortium led by Jardine Matheson in the Hong Kong retail market will continue in this regard. There is no hope of ending it in the short term. The key factor is you. Look at what this says about you."
Cao Weiqing handed the Xiangjiang Economic News to Li Guangyu and asked Li Guangyu to read the comments about him in the newspaper.
Of the three newspapers in my family, Xiangyu Daily is owned by me, and Li Guangyu is the shareholder of Industrial and Commercial Daily. Only in this way does Xiangjiang Economic News have nothing to do with the Li family, and only in this way can there be some comments about Li Guangyu.
After Li Guangyu took it, he read the news. Regarding his comment, Li Guangyu didn't say much. There was no malicious attack or smear on him.
Li Guangyu said: "Don't pay too much attention to these. People also have opinions on some of our developments. I really have no intention of ending this competition. The citizens of Xiangjiang should thank us. They have been truly sincere for more than a month."
While enjoying the cost price, our major cities are working as porters for them. I guess the citizens of Xiangjiang hope that we can continue like this and never end."
Cao Weiqing is also worried that the current market is not profitable. As long as Wellcome collapses, Hengyu City and Watsons will monopolize the market in Xiangjiang. Then they can just sit back and make money. It is not a big deal to give up this profit now.
Li Guangyu ignored this paragraph of his comment. He focused on the following piece of news, which gave Li Guangyu some thoughts.
The internal debt situation of the listed subsidiaries of Great Eagle Group, Regal Hotel and Bailibao Company, was actually reported by the Xiangjiang Economic News. Li Guangyu looked at the above data and found that the internal finances of the two listed companies were already heavily in debt.
And based on the authority of the Xiangjiang Economic News in Hong Kong, this should not be false news. The Xiangjiang Economic News will not report false news in this regard.
At this time, Li Guangyu was considering whether to go to the Regal Hotel. As for Bailibao, Li Guangyu had no interest in it.
He originally wanted to acquire Xiangjiang Shanghai Hotel Group, but Zheng Yutong took a liking to it, and it was hard for him to take action. Now that the Great Eagle Group is in crisis, this is a very good opportunity for him.
Seeing that Li Guangyu was lost in thought again, Cao Weiqing could only wait and not disturb Li Guangyu's thinking. She read Xiangyu Daily herself.
Li Guangyu thought for a long time and decided to take a break for the time being. Before suppressing the British consortium, Li Guangyu did not want to have a big conflict with the Xiangjiang Chinese family. As for the hotel issue, he could only deal with it later.
Think of a way.
Li Guangyu knows that the Luo Yingshi family is definitely not feeling well now, and after September this year, he is afraid that his family will feel even more uncomfortable. Eagle Real Estate, the property owned by Chen Zengxi at the Xiangjiang subway station, has also invested in it. When the property market collapses,
They will also suffer huge losses.
After Cao Weiqing saw Li Guangyu come to his senses, he asked Li Guangyu: "Guangyu, what are you thinking about? You are so absorbed."
"It's nothing, I just saw something of some value, but if we take action, the gain will not be worth the loss, so let's forget it." Li Guangyu said.
Cao Weiqing knew without Li Guangyu's explanation that the Xiangjiang family must be involved, otherwise Li Guangyu would not have said this.
Cao Weiqing is very aware of the situation of these families in Xiangjiang. Due to the oppression of the British consortium in the past, these Chinese families in Xiangjiang are relatively united and jointly deal with the British consortium.
But now that the British consortium has retreated, some families have begun to no longer follow the previous practices and have begun to fight for their own interests.
Cao Weiqing took the Xiangjiang Economic News from Li Guangyu and read some of the reports behind it. After seeing the news about the debts of Regal Hotel and Bailibao, she finally understood the reason why Li Guangyu was stunned here.
Li Guangyu's plan to establish a hotel group had been made a few years ago, but there was never a chance to implement it. She often heard Li Guangyu joking to her that he would acquire the Peninsula Hotel in the future. It was only Zheng Yutong's move. Now there is no chance.
Such an opportunity.
This time he saw the Luo family's Regal Hotel was in debt crisis, and he was naturally a little moved. However, there was no grudge between the Li family and the Luo family. If the Li Group took action against the Regal Hotel at this time, its reputation would be lost among the major families in Hong Kong.
Very good.
Cao Weiqing said: "Guangyu, it's nothing. At most we will build a hotel brand by ourselves. With the influence of our Li Group, are you still worried that the hotel will not be famous?"
Li Guangyu said: "We will see in the future. If there is no chance to acquire it, we will build the brand ourselves. As for the management personnel, we will ask Uncle Zheng to borrow them when the time comes."
Li Guangyu has received news that the share acquisition of Hong Kong Shanghai Hotel Group has come to an end. In the end, the Kadoorie family still failed to keep the hotel group because the price offered by Zheng Yutong was really too high.
The Kadoorie family was already facing huge investment costs for the Qingshan Power Station, and Li Guangyu was causing trouble with the Heung Kong Carpet Company, so they finally had to give up the hotel group.
The most important reason is that the Kadoorie family's loans from the two banks have reached the peak level that Shen Bi and the others can provide, and the two major banks are not willing to lend to the Kadoorie family anymore.
This time HSBC and Standard Chartered jointly loaned HK$8 billion to the Kadoorie family. They would not dare to lend unlimited money to the Kadoorie family again.
Although Shen Bi and George Lavin know that once the Qingshan Power Station is completed, the market value of China Electric Power Group will definitely skyrocket, but this will only be a few years later. Who can guarantee this situation now.
Even if Roland Scarlett does not want to lose Hong Kong Shanghai Hotel Group, he still has to make a choice. He now needs to ensure that the Qingshan Power Station is completed quickly, so that it can bring him a lot of benefits, so that he can repay the current situation as soon as possible.
Loan, otherwise the annual interest would make the Kadoorie family breathless.
Li Guangyu himself only made some salary from the Xiangjiang Carpet Company. When the Kadoorie family chose to give up the hotel group, they immediately repurchased part of the shares of the Xiangjiang Carpet Company, allowing Li Guangyu to operate
It didn't have much effect. When Li Guangyu wanted to take action from a high position, it was already too late.
