The next morning, Li Guangyu presided over a high-level meeting of Li's Group in the conference room on the second floor of Li's Building. Senior executives from all major groups in Hong Kong attended the meeting.
This is the first time Li Guangyu has held such a meeting after the Li Xuelan incident, and the group's top executives are speculating on possible next moves.
At 9:30 in the morning, Li Guangyu and Gan Qin walked into the conference room. Today, he was going to make arrangements for some of his companies to enter Southeast Asian countries.
Li Guangyu first asked Zhou Xiaoning to report on the group's finances this year. In the past six months, Li Guangyu has basically not made any major acquisitions. Except for the airlines that have to pay for a few aircraft every month, other groups have not made any major acquisitions.
action.
Even though the prices between the supermarket group and Wellcome were so fierce, their losses were made up by Baodao and the Japanese market, and they still made some profits.
In the first five months of the group, despite the relatively weak global economy, excluding listings and joint venture groups, Li's major groups brought him more than 8.6 billion Hong Kong dollars in capital profits. Including Wheelock's sale of the group
assets of more than HK$2.5 billion, and the HK$5.2 billion he controlled last year.
Even though he paid nearly 700 million in taxes to the government in April and made investments in Heshi Investment Company and Xiangjiang China Investment Company, he now has more than 15 billion Hong Kong dollars in cash.
Although it is far from the cash reserves of HK$300 billion claimed by Li Ka-shing in his previous life, it is already quite terrifying in Hong Kong at present.
Moreover, many of Li Guangyu's groups have not been listed, so he is not worried about his opponents attacking him in the stock market. This time, he originally planned to invest all these funds in the stock market with Tianyu Investment and use them for bargain hunting next year. The group is preparing to expand.
The profits of Hengyu Supermarket Group are slowly expanding.
But since his opponent has done this, Li Guangyu is ready to inject capital into Hengyu Supermarket Group again, allowing Hengyu Supermarket Group to expand in several Southeast Asian countries at the same time and completely occupy the Southeast Asian market.
In the past, Li Guangyu planned to only expand convenience stores in Thailand in the second half of the year. Supermarkets have no plans to expand for the time being. This time he will allow supermarkets and convenience stores to expand at the same time.
Li Guangyu said: "This time our opponents obviously want to delay our expansion, and we obviously cannot let them get their way. For this reason, I have specially injected HK$5 billion into Hengyu Supermarket Group for our supermarket group's expansion in Southeast Asia.
The expansion of several countries.”
As soon as Li Guangyu finished speaking, Zhao Xiaoyan, vice chairman of Hengyu Supermarket Group, said: "Li Sheng, we will make a plan for Southeast Asia expansion after the meeting and submit it to you for approval."
Senior executives of other groups are envious of supermarket groups. Last year, Li Guangyu invested 8 billion Hong Kong dollars in Hengyu Supermarket Group to expand in Japan, Taiwan, Hong Kong and Lisboa. This time, he invested another 5 billion Hong Kong dollars in Hengyu Supermarket Group.
The expansion in Southeast Asia has made Hengyu Supermarket Group grow rapidly.
Now I am afraid that only the two major groups, Xingyu and Xingguang, can suppress Hengyu Supermarket Group. As for Tianyu Financial Group, it is not within the scope of the top management's consideration. That group is obviously the core of the Li Group and is above them.
At this time, Li Guangyu doesn't care what other senior executives think. At present, his industries are only banks and supermarkets to facilitate expansion in Southeast Asia. As for the theater chain, Li Guangyu has already arranged for Jiayi Group to expand on its own. It is a listed company, and Li Guangyu
It is not easy for Guangyu to inject funds into it casually.
Li Guangyu said: "In order to strengthen our momentum this time, Yuan Sheng is in charge of the Malaysian side. Your Hengyu Supermarket Group sent a vice president there, and Ms. Zhao Xiaoyan went to Thailand to be responsible for the supermarket expansion in this region. The Indonesian side will be led by Qing
Hong will lead the team, the Philippine team will be led by Zhou Xiaoning, and Brunei and Singapore will be supervised by Yuan Tianfan."
This time, Li Guangyu sent three executives to the Southeast Asian market at once. Since the Lee Group has been getting along well with Thailand, it is relatively easy to develop the market, so he sent the current head of Hengyu Supermarket Group there.
Zhao Xiaoyan heard that Li Guangyu wanted to develop markets in several countries in Southeast Asia at the same time. The vice president of the group was not enough. Besides, one person must be left in Xiangjiang to take charge of the overall situation, so she could only think of transferring the people in charge from Japan and Baodao back.
When we move to Southeast Asia to open up markets, the people in charge in these two places are being promoted from below.
Zhao Xiaoyan knows that this is the best time for Hengyu Supermarket to occupy the Southeast Asian market. There are no large supermarket groups in the area, and the competitive pressure is not too great. As long as they occupy this market, they will have enough strength to compete with Wal-Mart and Carrefour.
Challenge.
Zhao Xiaoyan said: "Li Sheng, please rest assured, I will arrange the persons in charge of supermarket market development in each region to ensure that our Hengyu Supermarket Group can gain a foothold in these areas in a short time."
After Li Guangyu finished talking about the problem in the supermarket, he said to Luo Qianwen: "Your bank is also expanding in these places, especially in Thailand. We get along better with the Thai government here, and it is relatively easy. This year you will focus on giving
I put it in Thailand and the Philippines. As for the unification of Malaysia, Brunei and Singapore, Yuan Sheng will be personally responsible for it, and Indonesia will be postponed."
Luo Qianwen replied: "Okay Li Sheng, I will discuss expansion matters with the group's senior management after the meeting and submit the expansion plan to you for approval as soon as possible."
Li Guangyu not only entered the group business, but also wanted to follow suit this time in order to gain fame.
Li Guangyu said to Pan Yinghong, Vice President of the Charity Foundation: "I will inject an additional HK$100 million into the Charity Foundation. Due to the philanthropic undertakings in these countries, your charity association will also send the person in charge and several persons in charge to act together this time.
You go to Malaysia in person to provide charitable assistance there."
Pan Yinghong is still very happy with Li Guangyu's injection of funds. Although she knows that Li Guangyu is only doing this to enable the group to expand locally, this fund can indeed help many poor families. As a person who has been engaged in charity
For her, no matter what Li Guangyu's purpose is, as long as he can actually help some people, it is enough.
Pan Yinghong said: "Li Sheng, our charity foundation will arrange personnel to go to these areas."
Li Guangyu then asked Jiayi TV and Xiangyu Daily to publicize the Li Group's expansion plan. He wanted to let his opponents know that the Li Group did not just stick to the idea of sticking to Xiangjiang and would make a big move at this time.
Southeast Asian markets and see their reactions.
He knew that if the mastermind behind this time was a supermarket group, the other party would definitely react to the news about him.
At the end of the meeting, Li Guangyu asked all senior executives to pay more attention to their own safety and try to take the bodyguards equipped by the group with them when they go out.
As early as more than two years ago, Li Guangyu assigned bodyguards to senior executives above the vice president level of the group. There are two vice presidents and four presidents. Under normal circumstances, their safety can be guaranteed.
Especially this time, Li Guangyu, the leaders responsible for developing the market, increased their bodyguards to eight to deal with possible dangers.
Li Guangyu was worried that if the mastermind behind the scenes went crazy and attacked high-level officials again, he could not afford to lose.
