Through the wealth life

Chapter 647 Investing in Milk International
On the morning of the next day, Li Guangyu met Henry Keswick in his office.

After sitting in the reception area, Henry Keswick said: "Mr. Li, I am afraid that you are the only ones in Xiangjiang who can sit and watch the situation."

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. A bottom-hunter and continue to make huge profits.

Over the past few years, his own Jardine Group has been fighting with the Li's consortium, causing 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 as to be able to maintain Group operations.

This time he came to meet with Li Guangyu because he was going to discuss with Li Guangyu about the shares of Xiangjiang Air Cargo Terminal Management Company.At present, Li's consortium has already controlled 75% of the company's shares, and keeping the 25% of the shares in his own hand is not of much use.

At that time, he just hoped to keep the Li's consortium feeling more thorns. Now under such a crisis situation, he can only sell this share, cash out part of the funds, and relieve the pressure on the group's funds.

Li Guangyu said: "Mr. Keswick, you are also aware of the current situation in Xiangjiang. At this time, who in Xiangjiang can sit and watch the situation with peace of mind. The stable development of Xiangjiang is beneficial to all of us. I also hope that Xiangjiang can be as soon as possible." stabilized."

Henry Keswick didn't quite believe Li Guangyu's words. At present, the Li's consortium hopes that the stock market will fall as badly as possible, so that they can reap more benefits from it.

He is very clear that the gap between the Jardine Group and the Li's consortium is getting wider and wider, and they no longer have the ability to fight against the Li's consortium.

He said: "Mr. Li, I am here to communicate with you about the Xiangjiang Air Cargo Terminal Management Company. Our Jardine Group intends to transfer the shares in this company. I wonder if you would like to take over this part. shares?"

Li Guangyu has always been worried about the 25% shares of Xiangjiang Air Cargo Terminal Management Company held by the Jardine Matheson Group, but he did not expect Henry Keswick to offer it 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, the president of Xiangjiang Air Transport Group, to go to your group to discuss this matter, and strive to reach an acquisition agreement as soon as possible."

Since Jardine is selling off some of its properties this time, it means that the Jardine Group is currently facing a serious internal crisis. Li Guangyu believes that the purchase price will not be too high, and the Jardine Group will not openly talk about it. .

Moreover, Li Guangyu is no longer thinking like before. There is no need for the British consortium to kill them all. With the existence of the Jardine Group, it is often more beneficial to him. Anyway, the Jardine Group now cannot threaten the development of the Li Group.

Now Li Guangyu only needs to get the right to issue banknotes in Hong Kong dollars, and it would be good to leave some power on Hong Kong's side, so that the situation can be more stable. The Li's consortium also needs to have a British consortium in Xiangjiang.

Li Guangyu said, "Mr. Keswick, I don't know if your Dairy Milk International Company has any financing plans. Several major investment companies such as Tianyu Investment Company and Xiangjiang Zhonghua Investment are willing to raise funds from Dairy 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-funded family during the financial crisis of Xiangjiang in 74, which caused a lot of Chinese-funded companies. Family dissatisfaction.

There are still many Chinese-funded families staring at Dairy Milk International, hoping to snatch the company back from Jardine.

Now Li Guangyu didn't ask about the sale, but asked if he would like to raise money, which surprised Henry Keswick.Li's consortium's style of dealing with their British-funded consortiums is to kill them quickly. Their favorite is a wholly-owned acquisition, and cooperation is almost impossible.

As for Swire Holdings, it was an accident. If it weren't for the Singapore consortium's intervention, Swire Holdings would have changed hands long ago.

Henry Keswick asked tentatively: "Mr. Li, I don't know 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 over this company. Each of our four investment companies will raise 10% of the shares, so your Jardine Group will still occupy 60% of the shares." shares, there is no need to worry about not being able to control the company.”

Henry Keswick did not respond immediately after hearing this, but began to think about it. The figure of 40% is a bit subtle. In this way, although Jardine Group still controls Milk International, they do not hold more than two-thirds of the shares. Unable to act arbitrarily on some decisions.

He also knew that Li Guangyu and the others had been eyeing Milk International Company for a long time. At present, the company monopolizes the milk supply of Xiangjiang.

Henry Keswick himself was not sure whether it was Li Guangyu's kindness towards him this time, or Li Guangyu's plan to eat Milk International Company step by step.

He said: "Mr. Li, your Li's consortium is now the overlord of Xiangjiang, and our Xiangjiang British consortium is no longer able to fight against you. I don't know what you think of our Jardine in Xiangjiang?"

Li Guangyu also knew that if he didn't explain thoroughly to Henry Keswick, he couldn't rest assured.

"Mr. Keswick, the development of Hong Kong's economy requires the joint participation of all parties. The Hong Kong British-funded consortium has also made a great contribution to the development of Hong Kong's economy. The Jardine Group is developing normally in Hong Kong, and our Li Group is also very welcome Yes, we also hope to increase mutual cooperation with you Jardine Group."

Henry Keswick understood what Li Guang meant. Now he seemed to have changed his attitude towards Jardine. He used to wish to drive Jardine to extinction, but now he is ready to cooperate with Jardine and seek common development.

As for why Li Guangyu changed his attitude at this time, Henry Keswick had some guesses in his heart. The Li consortium was worried, and they were afraid that some powerful force would be against them in the future.

As long as there is a British consortium here, their pressure will be much less, and their attention will be more focused on them. The Li's consortium and its interest groups will not have to worry too much about their situation.

At present, only the Milk International Company under his own company can be valued by the Li's consortium, and the Li's consortium has other industries.

Just like the Swire Group now, after the airline is gone, the Lee Consortium has no interest in them at all. At present, the Singapore Consortium has already allied with the Li Consortium. They can kick the Shi Huaiya family out, but they are not Did not do so, still let the Shi Huaiya family manage Swire Holdings.

His most important Jardine Land Group is nothing in the eyes of the Li's consortium. As long as he gives up part of the interests of Milk International, the Jardine Group will not need to worry about being specifically targeted by the Li's consortium in the future.

Thinking of this, Henry Keswick was willing to let the Li's consortium take the shares, he said: "Li Sheng, I need to discuss this matter with the Jardine family, and I will give you an answer tomorrow, I think we will cooperate smoothly of."
