On the morning of the next day, Li Guangyu met Henry Keswick in his office.
After sitting down in the reception area, Henry Keswick said: Mr. Li, I'm afraid you are the only one in Xiangjiang who can sit and watch the storm.
Henry Keswick is now very envious of the current situation of the Lee Consortium and its interest groups. They don't need to worry about the collapse of the property market. They just need to watch quietly from the sidelines. After the price hits the bottom, they will come back.
Buy the bottom and continue to make huge profits.
In the past few years, his Jardine Group has been fighting back and forth with the Li Group, which has caused heavy losses to his group. The group has already been heavily in debt. This time, both the stock market and the property market have plummeted, so he has to choose to sell some properties again so that he can maintain his business.
The operation of the group.
This time he came to meet with Li Guangyu to discuss with Li Guangyu the shares of the Xiangjiang Air Cargo Terminal Management Company. At present, the Li Group has controlled 75% of the company's shares, and he does not have much to keep the 25% of the shares.
big effect.
At that time, he just wanted to keep it to sting the hearts of the Li Group. Now under such a crisis, he could only sell the shares to cash out part of the funds and relieve the financial pressure on the group.
Li Guangyu said: Mr. Keswick, you are also aware of the current situation in Xiangjiang. At this time, who in Xiangjiang can sit back and watch the situation with peace of mind. Maintaining stable development in Xiangjiang is beneficial to all of us. I also hope that Xiangjiang can develop as soon as possible.
Stabilize.
Henry Keswick didn't quite believe what Li Guangyu said. At present, the Li Group hopes that the stock market will fall as badly as possible, so that they can reap more benefits from it.
He knew very well that the gap between his Jardine Group and the Li Group was getting wider and wider, and they no longer had the ability to compete with the Li Group.
He said: Mr. Li, I am here to communicate with you about the Xiangjiang Air Cargo Terminal Management Company. Our Jardine Group plans to transfer our shares in this company. I wonder if you are willing to take over this part.
Shares?
Li Guangyu has always been worried about the 25 shares of the Xiangjiang Air Cargo Terminal Management Company held by the Jardine Group. Unexpectedly, Henry Keswick came to his door this time.
Of course he is willing to take over the shares of this company, so that Xiangjiang Air Transport Group will be fully controlled by him.
Li Guangyu said: Mr. Keswick, I am very interested in this share. I will instruct Zhao Wenhua, President of Xiangjiang Air Transport Group, to go to your group to negotiate on this matter and strive to reach an acquisition agreement as soon as possible.
Since Jardine is selling off some properties this time, it means that Jardine Group is currently facing a big internal crisis. Li Guangyu believes that the acquisition price will not be too high, and Jardine Group will not open its mouth about this.
.
Moreover, Li Guangyu no longer thinks like he did before. There is no need for the British-funded consortium to kill everyone. The existence of the Jardine Group is often more beneficial to him. Anyway, the Jardine Group cannot threaten the development of the Li Group.
Now Li Guangyu only needs to get the right to issue Hong Kong currency notes. It would be good to leave some forces in Hong Kong so that the situation can be more stable. The Li Group also needs a British-funded group to exist in Hong Kong.
Li Guangyu said, Mr. Keswick, I don’t know if Milk International Company has any financing plan. Several major investment companies such as Tianyu Investment Company and Xiangjiang China Investment are willing to raise funds from Milk International Company.
Henry Keswick did not expect that Li Guangyu would suddenly jump to Dairy Milk International Company. This company was snatched from the Chinese-owned family during the financial crisis in Hong Kong in 1974. This caused a lot of Chinese-owned investment
Family dissatisfaction.
There are still many Chinese-owned families eyeing Dairy Milk International, hoping to take the company back from Jardine Matheson.
Now Li Guangyu didn't ask about selling, but asked if he was willing to raise funds, which surprised Henry Keswick. The Li Group's style of dealing with their British-funded consortium was to kill them all quickly, and their favorite was to kill them all.
Capital acquisition and cooperation are almost impossible.
As for Swire Holdings, it was an accident. If the Singapore consortium hadn't interfered, I'm afraid Swire Holdings would have changed hands long ago.
Henry Keswick asked tentatively: Mr. Li, I wonder what financing method you plan to use?
Li Guangyu said: Mr. Keswick, you don’t have to worry too much. We have no intention of snatching your control of this company. Each of our four investment companies will raise 10% of the shares, so that your Jardine Group will still occupy 60% of the shares.
Don't worry about losing control of the company.
Henry Keswick did not respond immediately after hearing this, but began to think about it. The number 40 was a bit subtle. Although Jardine Matheson Group still controlled Milk International Company, they could not hold more than two-thirds of the shares.
Be arbitrary in some decisions.
He also knew that Li Guangyu and the others had been eyeing Milk International Company for a long time. The company currently monopolized the milk supply in Xiangjiang, and the Li Group certainly did not want this aspect to be monopolized by Jardine Matheson.
Henry Keswick himself couldn't decide whether it was Li Guangyu's kindness to him this time, or whether Li Guangyu was preparing to step into the Meal Milk International Company step by step.
He said: Mr. Li, your Li Group is now the overlord of Xiangjiang. Our Xiangjiang British Group is no longer able to be your enemy. I wonder what you think of our Yihe Group in Xiangjiang?
Li Guangyu also knew that Henry Keswick would not be able to rest assured if he did not explain everything thoroughly.
Mr. Keswick, the economic development of Xiangjiang requires the joint participation of all parties. The British Capital Consortium of Xiangjiang has also made a great contribution to the economic development of Xiangjiang. Jardine Group is developing normally in Xiangjiang, and we at Li Group are also very welcome
, we also hope to increase mutual cooperation with your Jardine Group.
Henry Keswick understood what Li Guang meant. This man seemed to have changed his attitude towards Yihe. In the past, he wanted to kill all Yihe, but now he was ready to cooperate with Yihe and seek common development.
As for why Li Guangyu changed his attitude at this time, Henry Keswick had some speculations in his mind. The Li Group was worried. They were afraid that some powerful forces would be detrimental to them in the future.
As long as there is a British-funded consortium here, their pressure will be much less and more attention will be focused on them. The Li's consortium and other interest groups will not have to worry too much about their situation.
Currently, only Milk International Company under its control is valued by the Lee Consortium, and the Lee Consortium has other industries.
Just like Swire Co., Ltd., after the airlines disappeared, the Li Group had no interest in them at all. Currently, the Singapore Group has allied with the Li Group. They can completely kick out the Sivaiya family, but they have not
This was not done, and the Swire Group was still managed by the Swire family.
In the eyes of the Li Group, his most important company, the Jardine Land Group, is nothing at all. As long as he gives up part of the interests of Dairy Milk International, the Jardine Group will no longer need to worry about being specifically targeted by the Li Group.
Thinking of this, Henry Keswick was willing to let Li's consortium and others take shares. He said: Li Sheng, I need to discuss this matter with the Jardine family. I will give you an answer tomorrow. I think we will cooperate smoothly.
