The main issue had been resolved, and MacLehose was in no mood to listen to the two sides arguing here.
"The laws of Hong Kong are there. Our government will strictly abide by the laws of Hong Kong and treat every Hong Kong investor fairly.
If Li Sheng can meet the government review requirements in terms of aviation qualifications, I believe the government will not reject the new airline's application, nor will it block the new airline's routes in the future.
I still need to clean up your mess now, so if there is nothing else, please come back."
Li Jianhui stood up and left directly. Li Jianhui didn't believe what MacLehose said. The airline would probably give up the idea in a short time.
Without establishing an airline first, in what name would he build a flight team and a logistics, maintenance and support team.
Moreover, those in the Transportation Management Bureau have a very close relationship with Swire, and it is not their word whether the review is up to standard.
To put it bluntly, the government still does not want to allow new airlines to emerge and maintain Cathay Pacific's monopoly on Hong Kong's air transport industry.
Even though MacLehose advocated equality in Hong Kong on the surface, deep down the government still preferred to protect the interests of British-owned consortiums.
It's just that now the government will not suppress Chinese-owned enterprises at will as it did more than ten years ago. Generally speaking, the development environment for Chinese-owned enterprises is better than before.
If Chinese capital really wants fairness, it will take a few years, when it is certain that Hong Kong will return to the motherland in 1997, and the British Hong Kong government will completely change its approach.
After leaving the Governor's Mansion, Li Jianhui went directly to Jiashi Building and issued an explanation through Jiashi.
It focuses on clarifying that the Hong Kong government handles affairs in Hong Kong fairly and justly, and does not protect British capital and suppress Chinese capital.
Xiangjiang is a city governed by law. As long as investors abide by the laws of Xiangjiang, they will be able to compete fairly with other companies.
…
Li Jianhui's explanation is more than 500 words long. He doesn't care whether all parties believe it or not. Anyway, he already has the attitude he should have. If they still make trouble for him, he will not be blamed for problems in the future.
York Swire had just returned to Swire's headquarters and was about to instruct the manager of the company's administrative department to contact reporters to hold a press conference. Unexpectedly, before he could speak, he heard his report:
"Shi Huaiya, Xiangjiang Aircraft Engineering Company Therese reported urgently that there was a sudden change in the company's stock market in the morning. It is suspected that some forces are eyeing our company. According to their speculation, it is probably Xinjian Investment."
York Shihuaiya didn't even need to think about it, he knew that this must be Li Jianhui's move. It seemed that the other party had already planned to attack Taikoo.
He didn't understand where Li Jianhui got so much money, and he was too unscrupulous. Did he really think that the London and MacLehose governments would watch the four major foreign banks be wiped out?
They captured Wheelock in January, Hutchison Whampoa in February, and started attacking Swire in March. They were so arrogant that they did not take Xiangjiang British Capital Group seriously at all.
It’s just that Li Jianhui’s strong record was there, and York Shihuaiya had to deal with it cautiously.
He immediately ordered: "You immediately notify the investment department and ask them to buy back the shares of Heung Kong Aircraft Engineering Company as soon as the market opens in the afternoon and increase the proportion of our Swire Holdings' shares in Heung Kong Aircraft Engineering Company."
Currently, Taikoo holds 37.6% of the shares in Heung Kong Aircraft Engineering Company. Under normal circumstances, there is no need to worry about the loss of control of the company.
However, Li Jianhui has not followed the routine. York Swire is afraid that Xinjian Investment Company holds 34.9% of the shares, and its ally Dao Heng or East Asia or even Sun Hung Kai Securities hold 10%. Then the two companies may combine to steal Swire's shares.
Port engineering control rights.
At present, the only good thing about Swire is that its shares have exceeded 35%. Subsequent increase in holdings will not violate the regulations of the Hong Kong Securities Law. It only needs to report to the exchange once for every 1% increase in shares and announce it to the outside world. It will not require compulsory acquisition of other shares.
shares in the hands of shareholders.
I don’t know if the Hong Kong Securities Law has played a role. Shareholders and small and medium-sized investment companies did not blindly follow suit this time. Even if two companies of Xiangjiang Aircraft Engineering Company were acquired in the market, the stock price did not soar into the sky, but only climbed slightly.
Compared with the slight disturbance caused by HAECO in the stock market, Hong Kong citizens are more interested in the explanations of Li Jianhui, several Taipan kings in Hong Kong, and the Hong Kong government.
Yesterday, the two sides were fighting to the death, but today they ended in reconciliation. If nothing happened, the citizens would not believe it.
For a while, various gossips were circulating in the alleys of Xiangjiang. There were rumors that Li Jianhui had been warned by the MacLehose government and had to give in.
There are rumors that the two parties reconciled because of pressure from London. The Hong Kong British Capital Group is an old force supported by the government, and Li Jianhui is a newly launched representative. The fight between the two parties is beyond the control of the London government, so they intervened forcefully, allowing
Both sides stopped and reconciled.
There are also rumors that Li Jianhui is the flag of Baodao in Hong Kong. However, they do not want a fierce conflict between Li Jianhui and the Hong Kong British Capital Group and require Li Jianhui to reconcile with the other party.
There are also rumors that Li Jianhui is the new generation spokesperson of the North. They do not want the situation in Hong Kong to be turbulent, so Li Jianhui can temporarily hold back his anger.
…
Li Jianhui's rapid development has made many citizens unbelievable. Such huge funds are definitely not what a young man who started from scratch in less than two years should have.
The most convincing guess for them is that Li Jianhui is the spokesperson of a certain party and has the support of a certain government behind him. This can also explain why Li Jianhui has never run out of funds in each of his large-scale acquisitions.
Regarding the rumors from the outside world, Li Jianhui will not jump out to explain for the time being, and he knows that even if he explains, it will be useless.
Firstly, it was revealed that the relationship between Lanfeng Investment Company and him was not worthwhile, and secondly, the price of London gold had begun to take off, so he would not cause trouble for himself.
The purifier will purge himself, and he also knows that there are many intelligence personnel from various companies around him. It is enough for these governments to know what is going on with his funds. As for market news, it does not have a big impact on him at the moment, and after this round of heat is over,
, and naturally disappeared.
Nubigian, Shen Bi and others thought that manipulating these remarks would cause the London government to suppress him. They can only say that they thought too much.
The force that currently knows the most about Li Jianhui's situation is the London government, Blue Maple Investment Company, and the bank's capital flows, which can be easily traced.
The forces in Xiangjiang, because of the lack of some information, did not know where Li Jianhui's funds came from, so they thought of this method to force Li Jianhui to explain the source of the funds.
If the governments of all parties are not clear about this, it may really bring some trouble to Li Jianhui. Unfortunately, these parties still underestimate the importance that all parties attach to Li Jianhui.
With Li Jianhui's intentions and the intentions of major intelligence agencies, some of Li Jianhui's situations could easily fall into the hands of major forces.
