Chapter 788 Taikoo Foreign Firm!

As one of the four major foreign firms in Hong Kong, Swire Pacific ranks fourth, which shows that its strength and scale are still inferior to those of Jardine Land, Hutchison Whampoa, and Wheelock.

There are actually many main businesses of Swire Pacific.

One of them is aviation.

Xiangjiang’s Air China Airlines is Swire’s, and now Xiangjiang Air China directly monopolizes all flights.

It was not until Hong Kong Dragon Airlines, which was established by Chinese capital, appeared in Hong Kong that a second airline appeared in Hong Kong.

For now, Air China has monopolized all of Xiangjiang's external flights.

And there's Swire Soda.

Swire Soda is mainly involved in the Coca-Cola soda and bottling industry, and it has almost monopolized Xiangjiang and even the Asian market.Even domestic Coca-Cola is related to Swire.

And there is Swire Sugar.

Swire Sugar has invested very early, and it has spread all over the world.

The remaining Swire Dockyard, Swire Shipping, Swire Trading, Swire Energy, Swire Cold Storage, and Swire Properties.

Later, Swire Properties, which emerged in China, successively built high-end retail landmarks in first- and second-tier cities in China. The two major brand lines of "Taikoo Li", a block-style shopping mall, and "Taikoo Hui", a comprehensive commercial complex, made the word "Swire" a high-end brand. It is synonymous with "top luxury shopping mall" in the hearts of net worth people.

At this time, Swire's main businesses were Air China, Swire Soda, Swire Sugar, Swire Dockyard, Swire Shipping, Swire Trading, and Swire Properties.

However, the development of Swire Properties is still much weaker now, and it actually has a lot of reserve land in Xiangjiang.

This time, after the Empire Group quietly swallowed up Wheelock & Co., it really made the current chairman of Swire and the fifth-generation head of the Swire family Mr. John Sweiyar feel scared.

Although a few years ago, he had already started to deal with the rise of strong Chinese capital, how to avoid falling into the hands of Chinese capital like Hutchison Whampoa and Jardine Land.

In addition to a large number of shares in Swire-related listed companies being gradually repurchased by the Swire family, the holdings are also held through complex cross-holding methods.

Even then, John Shi is still scared now.

From Shi Huaiya's point of view, Xiangjiang should return to Country Z by then.

So by that time, will the Swire family still be able to retain the controlling stake in Swire?
He doesn't want to lose Jardine Land like the Josek family did.

When John Shi stood up and thought.

He was wondering whether to move Swire's headquarters directly back to London?
. . .

When Meris, John Bao and others held a press conference, Yang Ming had already taken a car to go back to the mid-level villa in Repulse Bay.

Just got back to Imperial Group.

Yang Jirong, Li Yufang, Ah Zhu, Zhong Chuhong, Guan Jiahui, and Lin Dezhong all came out to greet her.

They have already learned that the Imperial Group has officially swallowed up Hong Kong's third largest foreign firm, Defeng Foreign Firm.

Even though Yang Ming has been making large-scale acquisitions over the years, they were still shocked when they heard the news.

"Daddy, Mommy."

Yang Ming got out of the car.

"Peter, I really didn't expect that you and the Imperial Group bought Wheelock and Firm again."

After dinner.

Yang Ming went upstairs.

This time, because it was too easy to swallow Wheelock & Co., Yang Ming was not as excited as his parents.

For him, it all seemed to go with the flow.

He knows that he has been laying out for several years.

Now Taikoo is the only one left among the four major foreign companies in Xiangjiang.

in history.

Yang Ming knew that the smartest ones were none other than the Shi Huaiya family of Taikoo.

The other three foreign firms.

Hutchison Whampoa was swallowed by Li Jiacheng.

Wheelock was swallowed by the Bao family.

Jardine Land was frightened, and Niu Bijian used the method of cross-shareholding to keep the controlling stake.

Even so, Jardine Land’s headquarters, in 1984, Jardine Land chief executive Simon Yosek announced that the registration of Jardine Landmark would be moved from Xiangjiang to Bermuda. In addition, the headquarters would be moved back from Xiangjiang Arrived in London.

This incident still had a great impact on Xiangjiang, and even led to a large number of British capital, and even Chinese capital moved their registration to Bermuda and moved their headquarters to London.

In addition, Jardine Land's business has gradually moved to Southeast Asia, Europe and other places.

As for Swire Pacific.

The Swire family of Swire Pacific is not like the Yosek family, but the headquarters still moved back to London.

Because Taikoo's main business is in Xiangjiang, it is impossible to move the business away. Later, instead of cooperating with domestic Chinese capital, in addition, it began to invest in domestic real estate, which allowed the Swire family to keep a good acquired the controlling stake in Swire.

now.

The Imperial Group has swallowed up the top three foreign firms.

The rest of Swire Pacific.

If you want to say that Yang Ming doesn't pay attention, that's impossible.

From the very beginning, Yang Ming knew that if one pulls one hair, it will affect the whole body.

It was precisely because of that that at that time, why did he consider swallowing Wharf, Hutchison Whampoa first, and then Jardine Land.

Not Wheelock or Swire.

If he wanted to swallow Taikoo from the beginning, Yang Ming knew that it was possible, but the problem was that the price would be very high, and it would be very difficult for him to swallow Jardine Land.

Among the four major foreign companies, Taikoo is the most difficult to crack.

Yang Ming already knew that the Shi Huaiya family in Taikoo must have been frightened by his series of acquisitions.

Then the controlling stake in Swire related listed companies must have been repurchased by Shi Huaiya.

It is basically impossible to acquire Swire through the stock market.

However, it is not impossible to start elsewhere.

Like the most important business of Taikoo now.

Air China International Flights.

And Swire Soda.

Why is Xiangjiang only one company, Air China, and it monopolizes all flights.

This is the cleverness of the Swire and Swire families.

Because they have people in the Governor's Palace and London, if other consortiums propose to establish a new airline, they will be rejected immediately.

It was not until 1985 that the second airline company in Hong Kong was established by Chinese rich men and Chinese-funded institutions such as Cao Guangbiao, Bao Yugang, and Huo Yingdong.

However, this airline was a failure. It was not the opponent of Air China at all. In the end, it was acquired by Air China. This was Bao Yugang's worst investment failure.

As for Taikoo Soda, Yang Ming has long paid attention to it.

That is to say, if he wants to defeat Taikoo, or even take a stake in or swallow up Taikoo, Yang Ming thinks there is still a good chance.

Unless the Shihuaiya family voluntarily gave up Xiangjiang's business.

However, that is simply not possible.

If Taikoo leaves Xiangjiang, then it is not the original Taikoo.

Yang Ming thought about it late into the night.

Take a night off.

Today is the 29th of the twelfth lunar month.

It's also Friday.

Yang Ming was going to go back to work at the company today. Tomorrow was New Year's Eve, so he had a rest.

Yang Ming finished breakfast with his parents.

Come to the office of the chairman of the Imperial Group.

Just sitting down, when Lin Xiuzhi made him a cup of coffee, there was a knock on the door, and it was Meris who walked in.

"Boss, I just heard a very important news."

"what news?"

"It is said that the Swire family is planning to move the registration of Swire Pacific to Bermuda and the headquarters of Swire to London."
