All parties agreed with Li Guangyu's share distribution plan, so the atmosphere at the dinner was very lively.
Several parties have joined forces, and with so many British nobles inside, all parties believe that they will be able to repel the American consortium this time and let them know that the market outside the United States is not something they can enter if they want to. This time they will
It is very uncomfortable for the American consortium to acquire a company every time. The British government will not specifically suppress them at this time.
The United States is used to being domineering, and now many countries in Western Europe hope to get rid of the influence of the United States on them. If it were not for the huge military threat of the Soviet Union, they would really not want to pay attention to the US government.
After the dinner, Li Guangyu came to Zheng Yutong's suite to discuss some matters with him.
Li Guangyu had already communicated with Zheng Yutong about the share issue this time. This time, Li Guangyu's side holds 20% of the shares, and the Heung Kong Consortium holds 10%.
The yen appreciated last year, and the Heung Kong Consortium also gained a lot. Therefore, even with investments from the Pilbara region, the investment companies under the Heung Kong Consortium still have strong financial resources.
Although the pressure to take 10% of the shares this time is relatively high, the loan from Xiangjiang Bank is enough for them to take the shares.
On the contrary, Li Guangyu is under very little pressure. He has more than 20 billion US dollars. Now that the company is established, he only needs to invest 10 billion US dollars. He is not very good at the remaining 10 billion US dollars.
plan.
At present, privatization is not popular in other countries in Western Europe except Britain, and there are currently no large-scale investment projects.
Li Guangyu can only consider where the funds will be used after returning to Xiangjiang.
In the reception area of Zheng Yutong's suite, Li Guangyu said: "Uncle Zheng, the Chinatown in Malaysia has been completed after several years of construction. It will open in a few days. I don't think I have time to go there to attend. I don't know about you.
Do you have time to go to Kuala Lumpur and host the opening ceremony there with Gan Qinglin?"
There are currently five Chinatowns under construction in the world, including Kuala Lumpur, Jakarta, Singapore, Bangkok and Vancouver. Kuala Lumpur is the first to be completed. It is also the first Chinatown jointly built by the Lee Group and the Heung Kong Group to be put into operation. Therefore, Li
Guangyu attaches great importance to this.
This time not only Gan Qinglin will attend, but also the president of Wheelock Group, Guo Qingya, who is mainly responsible for the Lee Group. In addition, the vice presidents of Hengyu Supermarket Group, Regal Hotel Group, China Electric Group, and Phoenix Group will also attend.
opening.
At the Heung Kong Consortium, Lee Shau Kee, Li Ka-shing, and Kwok Desheng all work in Japan. Cao Wenjin will go over to attend, but Cao Wenjin is Li Guangyu's father-in-law after all.
Anyway, Zheng Yutong was already here, and Li Guangyu came here specifically to ask if he could attend there.
Zheng Yutong is not too busy during this period. The jewelry company does not need him to worry about it. Zhou Cuiying is in charge.
As for the real estate side, there are currently no projects in Xiangjiang. There are senior managers in Japan, so nothing will happen if you leave for a few days.
So after Li Guangyu mentioned it, he responded directly: "Guangyu, I haven't been to Kuala Lumpur for several years. I just happened to go over this time for a visit. I'm not like your fourth uncle, Uncle Li and others, who put all their thoughts on work.
We need to balance work with rest. This is how we live. You are very similar to your fourth uncle and Uncle Li. You focus on the company all day long and have no entertainment at all."
Cheng Yutong would not follow the example of Li Ka-shing, Lee Shau Kee and others. He would go to the company to work at eight o'clock and only return home at seven o'clock in the evening.
He wouldn't go out until ten o'clock in the morning, and he didn't want to live that kind of life.
Li Guangyu said: "It's hard work, Uncle Zheng. I believe that the operation of Chinatown will bring me huge benefits. Although Chinatown is not a fully commercial store like Wheelock Plaza, there are many uses in it."
The proportion of business is still good, and with the Chinese style elements, this place will definitely attract a lot of people."
Chinatown is a complex of mid- to high-end residential and commercial offices. After it is put into operation, it will become a new landmark in Kuala Lumpur. Li Guangyu believes that this place will definitely be a cash cow for them in the future.
After it is put into operation, not only Hengyu Supermarket, Regal Hotel, Jiayi Cinema, Phoenix Group directly-operated stores, Zhonghua Electric Appliances Store, etc. will be opened collectively, but also Zheng Yutong's Chow Tai Fook jewelry store and Baodao Hotel will also open on the same day.
Zheng Yutong said: "Guangyu, you don't have to be polite to me. Over the years, we have followed you, not only drinking soup, but also eating meat. If it weren't for you, I'm afraid our families would still be clinging to Xiangjiang."
Where can the market achieve such achievements as it does now?"
Don't look at the fact that there are no names of people from Xiangjiang on the top 100 list of the world's richest people. After so many years of development, the wealth of each of their families has already become extraordinary.
Take the Zheng family as an example. According to the 1985 summary meeting held at the beginning of this year, the market value of all its properties is estimated to have exceeded 5 billion US dollars. He knows that Li Ka-shing, Guo Desheng, Li Shauji, Li Guobao family, Feng Jingyao, Feng Jingxi, Cao Wenjin, Feng Yongxiang and others
The assets of Chen Youqing and others will definitely not be much less than his, and some families have stronger financial resources than his.
You must know that in 1978, the wealth of Hong Kong's richest man, Pao Yu-kong, was only HK$5 billion. Currently, Pao's assets definitely do not exceed HK$15 billion.
Li Guangyu takes the lead in Xiangjiang, and each company has many investment or holding funds. Many company shares are controlled by these funds, so much so that there is no one among the top 100 richest people in the world in the Forbes list in Xiangjiang.
come out.
The Forbes rich list is a bit strange. It only counts the assets held in your personal name, and those held by funds will not be counted. Therefore, these American consortiums, Japanese consortiums, and those ancient families will not be included in this list.
The major families in Hong Kong also control companies and groups through behind-the-scenes funds. No one except them knows exactly how many group shares they control and how much assets they have.
Especially in the past two years, apart from the group they lead, they have intentionally weakened their presence in other companies and groups, and they are rarely reported in the news.
The same is true here with Li Guangyu. Except for a few major events, Li Guangyu's visits to major groups are usually not reported. People in Xiangjiang are relatively clear that those groups belong to Li Guangyu. Outside, as time goes by, ordinary citizens no longer
It is very clear which groups are wholly owned by Li Guangyu.
Media outlets from all sides have given less and less publicity to Li Guangyu. This is mainly because Li Guangyu intends to regain control. Now the leaders of Li's groups are almost finalized. In the future, ordinary citizens will only hear the voices of the presidents of major groups, except for Xiangjiang.
Besides, few ordinary citizens would know that Li Guangyu personally controls so many groups.
The manager system of Japanese consortiums is worth learning from. Just like these consortiums in Japan, if you don't search for information, you won't know that many well-known groups are industries under these consortiums.
However, when Li Guangyu returned to his studies, he did not want to lose control of the consortium. He only downplayed his influence on the surface. Behind the scenes, he still held the major groups firmly in his hands.
