Through the wealth life

Chapter 409
After the meeting, Li Guangyu held a press conference immediately, announcing the news that Lee's Group controlled Wheelock, and also announced that Li's Group will complete delisting within this month. Li's Group will wholly control Wheelock .

As this news came out, Li's Group was once again pushed to the altar by countless newspapers and citizens, and some people who had bad-mouthed Li's Group also completely disappeared.

In the past, the four major foreign firms dominated Xiangjiang, and now two flagship foreign firms have been acquired by Chinese consortiums. Many people are already discussing who will be the next one to be acquired.And the vast majority of them chose Swire, in which Li's Group already controlled nearly 1/3 of the shares, and they believed that Li's Group would not give up on the acquisition of Swire.

After the British consortium and the Singapore consortium heard the news, they were very shocked. They did not expect that Wheelock, which was their ally two days ago, would be acquired by the Lee Group in a blink of an eye, and would instead become their opponent in the future.

At the same time, they were also very afraid of the strength of the Li Group. Last time they were lucky with the Swire Group, and the shareholders were all British, so Li Guangyu didn't snatch it.But this time they didn't even hear the wind, Li Guangyu completely controlled Wheelock, and even took up the shares of the Madden family.

They are also worried that after Li Guangyu takes over Wheelock, he will target his own group next, especially those companies that he has not reached a controlling stake in.

Qiu Deba and others immediately contacted Henry Keswick, Wooden Shihuaiya and Shen Bi George Lavin, two bank executives, to discuss how to deal with Li Guangyu's possible attack.

Judging from Li Guangyu's posture, he didn't mean to mention it at all. He just hit a wall on the Swire Group, turned around and took the Wheelock Group forcefully, causing a huge blow to their alliance.

Henry Keswick and others came to the box of the Mandarin Oriental Hotel to discuss what happened today.

Henry Keswick also felt that their situation was getting more and more difficult now, and the threat of the Li Group to them was too great.In the past, Xiangjiang was dominated by several of their foreign firms, and these Chinese-funded families could pick up some leftovers behind them, so how dare they fight against them.

As a result, Xiangjiang began to change since the 70s. The Huazi family became stronger and stronger and began to impact their status. Especially after Li Guangyu's rise, every time he acted against them, he could always find the shadow of Li Guangyu.

Hutchison Whampoa has collapsed, and now Wheelock is also eaten up. Whether the next one will be his own Jardine or the Swire family's Swire, Henry Keswick doesn't know who Li Guangyu will attack.Fortunately, at present, both Jardine and Swire have the controlling stake, so it is very difficult for Li Guangyu to take away these two groups.

Henry Keswick said: "Qiu Sheng, don't be impatient. As long as you hold the controlling stake in your own group, Li Guangyu will not be able to take over your group. The reason why Wheelock was taken down by Li Guangyu so quickly this time , it was entirely due to its shareholders Zhang Yuliang and Bao Yugang, and the Madden family did not have a controlling stake, so Li Guangyu took advantage of the loophole and lost his own controlling stake."

Qiu Deba said: "Mr. Huang's bank and mine are both listed in Singapore. I am afraid that the Li Group will suppress our bank in the stock market. Once there is a problem in the stock market, there will be bad news for the bank, which will affect us. But it's pretty big."

Qiu Deba and Huang Zuyao were very worried that Li Guangyu would rely on the huge amount of money in his hand to suppress their listed companies.

Shen Bi said: "Qiu Sheng, Huang Sheng, you don't need to worry too much. You have controlling rights in the bank. Li Guangyu will not engage in loss-making business just for a moment."

Shen Bi knew Li Guangyu quite well, he was very rational, he would always weigh his gains and losses, if he could not benefit from it, he would never do it.

Now Qiu Deba and others have regretted it very much. At first they thought that the British consortium was very powerful in Xiangjiang, and they were backed by the British government. It should be said that no family in Xiangjiang would dare to confront them directly. It was just a matter of this period of time. Let their ideas have long been thrown into the Pacific Ocean.

At first they were very happy, no matter whether the actions of Li's Group in Xiangjiang or in England ended in failure, they would not have thought that Wheelock Group, one of the four major foreign firms, would be acquired by Li Guangyu within two days.

Qiu Deba said: "Mr. Keswick, Mr. Shen Bi, we are going to return to Singapore. The Xiangjiang Electric Group here will be managed by our nephew Guo Lingming. I hope you can give him more help."

These few people have already discussed it, so let's leave it at Xiangjiang for the time being, and go back to the old trough to watch, don't stay here by yourself, Li Guangyu doesn't even know the old trough has been taken over.And here it will only become a thorn in the side of the Li's consortium, and the Li's consortium may think of taking action against its own group.

Henry Keswick really felt that the British consortium was over. The Marden family withdrew from Xiangjiang. These big families also wanted to avoid the Lee consortium. How long can the two big groups and the two big banks on their side last? .

Shen Bi and George Lavin also knew that once the Li's consortium swept away the British-funded consortium, their two banks would be next. The ambitious Li's consortium would never let Xiangjiang Financial Group monopolize their two banks. , They will definitely attack HSBC and Standard Chartered.

Henry Keswick said: "Mr. Qiu, Mr. Huang, Mr. Guo, we will not stop you from returning to Singapore. Don't worry, after Mr. Guo Lingming arrives, we will support each other with him. Li Guangyu wants to treat us It’s not going to be that easy for these groups to initiate acquisitions.”

Wooden Shi Huaiya reminded him next to him: "Qiu Sheng, regarding the shares of our Taikoo Co., Ltd., please don't transfer them to outsiders. If you want to sell them, please contact us, and we will buy them back. "

Wooden Shi Huaiya was a little worried that these shares would eventually go to the Li's consortium, and he would be miserable. Once the Li's consortium took control of Swire, their family would not be much better than the Marden family.It is estimated that in the end, he can only leave Xiangjiang in despair.

Qiu Deba said: "Mr. Shi Huaiya, don't worry, we have no plans to sell the shares of Taikoo Co., Ltd. in our hands. If we really have such a plan at that time, we will definitely contact you first."

Shen Bi said: "Our HSBC Bank and your two banks can strengthen business cooperation and jointly deal with financial dangers."

George Lavin next to him was not to be outdone, and also discussed with these two about banking cooperation and the challenge to Li Guangyu and the Chinese consortium. The two of them could sit together, but in other respects, the two of them were naked of competition.

For the cooperation with HSBC and Standard Chartered, the two top banks in Asia, Qiu Depu and Huang Zuyao are naturally willing. With their cooperation, the operation of their own banks will be guaranteed, and at the same time, they will be able to get The help of these two companies has improved their ability to resist risks.

Henry Keswick and Wooden Szehuaia have also reached a cooperative relationship with Guo Fangfeng in real estate and hotels. This time, the British consortium hopes to pull the Singapore consortium into its chariot in this way.
