The five hundred and ninetieth chapters turn the war into jade and silk
At seven o'clock in the evening, Li Guangyu came to the Peninsula Hotel to attend the dinner hosted by Guo Lingming.
Due to the Pasbo family, the relationship between the Lee Group and the Hong Kong British-funded consortium and the Singapore consortium has eased during this period. This time, Li Guangyu gave Guo Lingming's invitation a face and came to the Peninsula Hotel in person to attend.
Today Guo Lingming not only invited Li Guangyu, but also several other shareholders of China Investment Company. Since Cao Wenjin was in Malaysia, Cao Weide was here to attend.
In two years of hard work in Thailand, this person has increased his capital from more than two million US dollars to more than 100 million US dollars now. Although he had the help of Cao Wenjin's connections, this is enough to prove his ability.
Before Cao Wenjin left for Malaysia, Cao Weide returned from Thailand and officially joined the Wanbang Group and became familiar with his family's industry.
At the same time, Stanley Ho also attended the dinner on behalf of the Ho family, and Lode Cheng also came here. This time, the people invited by Guo Lingming were all close allies of the Li Group.
After Li Guangyu entered the box, he greeted the arriving elders.
After everyone arrived, Guo Lingming informed the service staff to serve the dishes, and at the same time expressed his gratitude to Li Guangyu and others for coming.
He said: Thank you all for giving me this face. I invite you to come this time. We in Singapore also hope to coexist peacefully and achieve mutual benefit and win-win results in the future.
Guo Lingming invited these people here today because he hopes to take advantage of this opportunity to cooperate to suppress the Pasbo family, turn the hostility with the Li family into friendship, and change the previous hostility between the Li family and their Singaporean family.
After he finished speaking, he looked forward to Li Guangyu's response. He clarified that the main dispute on his side was with the Li family consortium, and that other major families were hostile to his family because of Li Guangyu's relationship.
Of course, he is not naive enough to think that he can change the previous situation with just these few words. This time, their major families have discussed and are preparing to take out the Xiangjiang Electric Lighting Group and cooperate with the Li Group and the major families in Xiangjiang.
, everyone holds shares together, which promotes everyone’s connection and eases previous tensions.
Li Guangyu also knows that currently his group has the biggest conflict with the Singaporean consortium, and now he can only respond to Guo Lingming's words by himself.
Guo Sheng, originally we are all Chinese families and should work together. However, some of your actions make us deeply worried. You must know that our Chinese-owned family in Xiangjiang and the British-owned consortium have been fighting for nearly a hundred years before we have what we have today.
In this situation, your intervention has made it impossible for some of our plans to continue to be implemented. How can we talk about mutual benefit and win-win results? Li Guangyu responded.
Guo Lingming said: Li Sheng, we also hoped to enter the Xiangjiang market as soon as possible, so we did not think carefully about some things. Please forgive us. The north is undergoing reform and opening up, and no one can be uninterested in the huge market of more than one billion people, especially
We are Chinese-owned families, and Xiangjiang is the springboard for everyone. We did act a little too hastily this time, but we still hope to cooperate with you more in the future.
Li Guangyu obviously couldn't let the previous matter go by like this. Just kidding, he was about to get the Xiangjiang Electric Group. At this time, the Singapore consortium jumped out to intercept it. At this time, he just said this without thinking carefully.
Cover up the past, how could such a good thing happen?
Li Ka-shing, Lee Shau Kee and others are also dissatisfied with the Singaporean consortium's continuous attempts to enter Hong Kong public service enterprises. They want to control these industries in the hands of themselves and others to increase their family's influence in Hong Kong.
If the Singaporean consortium takes control, their influence will be infinitely weakened.
Li Ka-shing said: Mr. Guo, our Xiangjiang Chinese-owned family also hopes to cooperate with all Chinese-owned families for mutual benefit. After all, we are all descendants of the Yan and Huang Dynasties. But we also have this intention, but many Chinese-owned families do not have this intention. We, Xiangjiang Chinese
The Capital family has never been afraid of competition. We have grown up in competition with British capital groups. We welcome friends when they come, and we have the ability to fight back when wolves come.
Of course Guo Lingming knew that Li Ka-shing was referring to Sang and Huai and talking about several of their big families, but they had done this before and could only bear it.
If they had known that the British consortium was so vulnerable, they would not have come to take over the Xiangjiang Electric Lighting Group, and they would have incurred such a powerful enemy as the Li Consortium for nothing.
Guo Lingming said: Dear gentlemen, I apologize to everyone for the inconsideration of our major families. At the same time, in order to promote our cooperation, we are willing to transfer a majority of the shares of Heung Kong Electric Group and use Heung Kong Electric Group as a platform to strengthen our major companies.
Family ties.
Guo Lingming's words made Li Guangyu and others think quietly. They did not expect that the Singapore consortium was actually willing to give up most of the shares of Heung Kong Electric Group. This was tantamount to giving up their control over Heung Kong Electric Group. This is not sincerity.
Not big.
These companies are making money on their own. Regardless of the ups and downs of economic development, electricity is indispensable for citizens' daily lives, and with future development, electricity consumption will only increase year by year. This will not be in arrears.
There is a very considerable cash flow every month. Unless it is a last resort, the family will not transfer the shares of such a company.
At this time, Li Ka-shing and others were waiting for Li Guangyu's response, because in the past, Li's consortium had to take over this group alone.
Now Guo Lingming's model has become a common possession for everyone. They still don't know Li Guangyu's thoughts. If Li Guangyu insists on thinking of a sole proprietorship acquisition, they don't care. If Li Guangyu supports such an action, they will be happier.
.
Li Guangyu's thinking has now undergone a big change. In the past, he wanted to take full ownership of all the companies he was interested in, and did not want others to get involved in his industries.
Now he is more willing to cooperate with several major families to jointly operate some industries and consolidate the interest alliance between them. For example, Xiangjiang China Investment Company and He Investment Company are all for this purpose.
The current Hutchison Whampoa Group, Taipei MRT Investment, and the Peninsula Hotel all have mutual shareholdings. It is not impossible for Heungkong Electric Group to operate in this way.
The Pasbo family's trip to Tokyo this time also reminded Li Guangyu that the Li Group is still very weak in the world. At this time, it needs more allies to fight against some global consortiums, and the Chinese family is his
The best object of the alliance.
This time the Singapore consortium is willing to give up the interests of Heung Kong Electric Group, which shows that the other party sincerely hopes to reconcile with them. There are no permanent enemies or permanent friends in the shopping mall, only permanent interests.
Cooperating with the Singaporean consortium can accelerate the expansion of the Lee Group in Southeast Asia. Li Guangyu asked Cheng Yutong, Stanley Ho, Li Ka-shing and others for their opinions.
Everyone agreed with this kind of cooperation, so Li Guangyu expressed his position: Guo Sheng, I have no objection to this kind of cooperation. I just hope that in our future battles with the British-funded consortium, your consortium will not come out to make us fall short.
Guo Lingming immediately said: Li Sheng, please rest assured that our big families will never cause you any trouble.
