Through the wealth life

Chapter 199 Choice
MacLehose said: "Nowadays, both of you want to take over Heung Kong Electric and Heung Kong Telephone Group. Judging from the current HSBC, it is obviously impossible. I suggest that you each take a step forward. Each of you owns one of these two groups. , and prevent everyone from hurting their peace."

When Shen Bi heard what MacLehose said, he immediately echoed: "Li Sheng, Mr. Niu Bijian, you may wish to consider Mr. MacLehose's opinion. This will be good for all of us, and will not hurt the relationship between the Chinese-funded consortium and the British-funded consortium. After all, the economic development of Xiangjiang depends on everyone to maintain it together."

Shen Bi is completely relieved now, and with this operation, he HSBC will sell the shares of the two groups to the Li Group and the Jardine Group respectively, so that neither side will have to offend.

Li Guangyu and Niu Bijian fell silent after listening to MacLehose's suggestion.It was originally determined to acquire the two groups, but now it seems unrealistic.And to choose a group among them, Li Guangyu also had some ideas in his mind.

Li Guangyu said: "Mr. MacLehose, your proposal is really sudden. Now we still need to discuss this issue."

Newbigan also said to MacLehose: "We, Jardine Matheson Group, also need to discuss it, and we can't make a decision yet."

MacLehose said happily: "Okay, Chairman Shen, you can arrange an office for them respectively for Mr. Li and Mr. Niu Bijian to discuss. At the same time, there must be a telephone, so that they can contact the group conveniently."

MacLehose is not in a hurry now, as long as the two groups can discuss it, there will be no major problems.MacLehose also had to come forward. The influence of these two groups is too great now. Once they fight, Xiangjiang's economy will be shaken.As the current manager of Xiangjiang, MacLehose does not want Xiangjiang's economy to have problems, so after learning that the Lee Group and Jardine Group have come to HSBC, MacLehose rushed over immediately.

In a meeting room of HSBC, Li Xuemei said: "Sheng Li, what should we do now? Obviously, this time we can't take control of the two groups. Neither the governor nor HSBC will allow us to control the two groups at the same time. group."

Li Guangyu knew that now it was no longer just a matter of the two groups' holdings, but had risen to the face of the Chinese consortium and the British consortium. Neither Li Guangyu nor Newbijian could afford to lose.

No matter who loses this battle, it will cause a huge shock in Xiangjiang. MacLehose obviously does not want such a situation to happen. It just so happens that HSBC holds the key to the victory of the two groups, and at the same time does not stand on any side. The opportunity for MacLehose to mediate.

Li Guangyu said: "It doesn't matter, we didn't grab it this time, we still have a chance later."

Li Guangyu knew that in 83, the Jardine Matheson Group was in a bad situation. They actually changed the group's registered address at that time. It was affected by the stock market crash in 81, and the market value of the group in the stock market was low. His change made him even more miserable. Li Guangyu At that time, he was going to grab another piece of meat from Yihe.

Guo Fengtao said: "Li Sheng, which group's shares are we going to buy this time?"

Li Guangyu said: "This time we won the shares of Heung Kong Telephone Group and handed over Heung Kong Electric Group to Jardine."

Li Guangyu won the phone group this time to prepare for entering the mobile phone industry in the future. In a few years, Big Brother is about to come out. Li Guangyu is not willing to let go of this opportunity.As for the Electric Lighting Group, let the Jardine Group take care of it for itself and wait for the opportunity in the future before acquiring the Xiangjiang Electric Lighting Group.

Li Xuemei immediately said: "Li Sheng, it's not a good deal for us to choose the Telephone Group. Nowadays, the Xiangjiang Electric Group is much better. Why should we give up the Electric Group to the Jardine Group?"

"Xuemei, don't worry, how can I run a loss-making business? You see, in a few years, our telephone group will be able to leave the electric light group behind. I have many plans in the future that will need the telephone group. Support." Li Guangyu said.

While Li Guangyu and the others were discussing, Niu Bijian was also discussing with several high-level officials, and at the same time made a report to the Keswick family by phone.

After getting the reply from the Keswick family, Newbigan said to several senior executives here: "Now we can't control these two groups at the same time. The Keswick family asked us to ensure that Xiangjiang Electric Group is in control in our hands."

Chief Financial Officer Wei Jiali Deshawn said: "Chairman, I'm afraid that Li's Group will also focus on Xiangjiang Electric Group. After all, the value of this group is much higher than Xiangjiang Telephone Group."

Niu Bijian was also troubled. He had been preparing for so many days, and after Li Guangyu left Xiangjiang, he made a surprise attack, just to win the controlling stakes of several major groups in one fell swoop, but he did not expect this to happen.

New Bigjian said: "This time the Keswick family also asked us to take down Xiangjiang Electric. Heungkong Telephone Group can be handed over to Li Guangyu. This must not be allowed, even if the negotiation breaks down."

While Li Guangyu and the others were discussing, Shen Bi and MacLehose came to his office.

Shen Bi said: "Mr. MacLehose, thank you very much this time. If you hadn't come to rescue us today, we at HSBC really don't know what to do."

"Chairman Shen, don't be polite. I don't want fierce conflicts between the Li Group and the Jardine Group. The current situation in Xiangjiang is delicate. If something goes wrong, there will be turmoil. I am also walking on eggshells." MacLehose said.

Shen Bi also knows that Xiangjiang is mixed with dragons and snakes, and some problems have aggravated the worries of all walks of life in Xiangjiang. The confrontation between Chinese-funded consortiums and British-funded consortia is definitely not a good thing for the development of Xiangjiang.

Shen Bi comforted: "Mr. MacLehose, I think Li Sheng and Mr. Niu Bijian can appreciate your painstaking efforts, and they will communicate well on this issue. After all, they don't want the British consortium and It is not good for them if the Chinese-funded consortia are fighting against each other."

At five o'clock in the afternoon, Li Guangyu, Niu Bijian and others sat together again to discuss which group their respective groups planned to control.

Niu Bijian didn't wait for Li Guangyu to speak, and said directly: "Mr. MacLehose, our major shareholder, the Keswick family, does not want to affect the economic development of Xiangjiang, and is willing to give up the control of the telephone group. We only need to control Xiangjiang. Control of the Electric Lamp Group will do.”

Li Xuemei immediately said: "Mr. Niu Bijian, you would choose to take away the good group directly. Our Li Group also thinks that it is better for us to hold Xiangjiang Electric Group. After all, it is related to thousands of households in Xiangjiang. life."

Seeing this, MacLehose said: "Mr. Li, can your Li Group take a step back this time? I know this is a bit unfair to you. We will compensate you in other ways. For example, on the acquisition of Jaguar, we will Please speed up the negotiations over there, we still have some influence over there."

Shen Bi also didn't want the talks to collapse, so he said to Li Guangyu, "Li Sheng, HSBC still has some influence in England, and we are willing to help you acquire Jaguar."

Li Guangyu was originally planning to acquire the Telephone Group, but he didn't expect that he could receive such benefits just because he was planning to run on Newbijian.

Li Guangyu said: "Since both Mr. MacLehose and Chairman Shen have said so, we are willing to give up the shares of Heung Kong Electric and take control of Heung Kong Telephone Group."
