Chapter 393 Heungkong Electric Group
Jardine's shortage of funds forced Henry Keswick to sell Xiangjiang Electric Group in exchange for cash to ease the pressure on Jardine's funds.

However, Henry Keswick did not want to sell Heung Kong Electric to Li Guangyu. This was really too cheap for Li Guangyu, but the market value soared to more than 70 billion Hong Kong dollars at the beginning.It's just that now, the market value of Xiangjiang Electric Group in the stock market is only more than 28 billion, which is two-thirds less than that at the beginning.

Even Henry Keswick regretted it a little. If he had known this earlier, he should have sold the shares to Li Guangyu at a high price, so that they would not have suffered such a loss.

It's a pity that Henry Keswick didn't want to transfer the Xiangjiang Electric Group to Li Guangyu, and he couldn't find any other group in Xiangjiang to take over. The Chinese family knew that Li Guangyu was interested in this group, and the current situation is not very good. Well, they're not willing to throw so much money into it.

In the end, Henry Keswick came to HSBC and asked Shen Bi if he would like to take over the Xiangjiang Electric Group.

Although Shen Bi intends to win the Heung Kong Electric Group, it is a pity that HSBC's current losses in the stock market have to be dealt with carefully. The current stock market situation is not stable, so it is better to be cautious.

Shen Bi said: "Keswick, we at HSBC can contact you to see if anyone is willing to acquire the shares of Xiangjiang Electric Group. For the time being, we at HSBC have no plans to take over the shares in your electric lamp group."

Now Shen Bi wants to sell some of the shares held by his investment department, and he can't understand the current situation in Xiangjiang, especially the sudden plunge of the stock market is a big blow to Shen Bi.

Henry Keswick said: "Shen Bi, which group are you going to contact to take our shares? I have asked everyone in Xiangjiang except for the Li Group and his associated He family and Cao family. There is no one in them. Interested in that."

Of course, Shen Bi is aware of the current situation. If he wants to take over the Xiangjiang Electric Group, only the Li Group has such cash at present, and other groups can only borrow money.However, the acquisition of Heungkong Electric Group's profitability loan is not of great benefit to them, especially at this time.

Shen Bi smiled and said, "Keswick, why don't you sell it to the Li Group, I believe they will be happy to take over your shares, and the cash can be guaranteed."

Henry Keswick said: "As long as someone is willing to take over, I will not sell it to the Li Group. When our group competed with them last year, it cost billions of Hong Kong dollars. Now sell them for the price of cabbage, what do you think?" I don’t even want to give it to him, so it’s better to find some trouble for him, and fight with Li’s consortium, so as to reduce the pressure on our British consortium.”

Shen Bi also hopes to have such a consortium to take over. Li Guangyu has long regarded Xiangjiang Electric Group as his possession. If Jardine Group sells it and lets other groups buy it, it is obviously a fight. Li Guangyu's face, Li's Group has to fight back for the sake of face, so that their British consortium can watch them fight from behind.

Shen Bi thought about some of the consortiums he was familiar with, to see which one he brought over could contain the Li Group, so that the Li Group would not keep targeting him and others in Xiangjiang.

Shen Bi is very familiar with the major consortiums in Japan. Because of his work, Shen Bi has worked in Japan, Singapore and other places, and he is quite familiar with the local consortiums.As for the consortia from Japan, he didn't want to bring them in. The strength of these consortiums is far stronger than that of the Li Group.

On the contrary, Singapore is more suitable. It also belongs to the Commonwealth of Nations. The arrival of the Singapore consortium is of great benefit to the current situation in Xiangjiang.First of all, the pressure on the British consortium will be reduced, and the major families in Singapore are all Chinese families. Once they take over the Hongkong Electric Group, it will have a huge impact on the unity of the Chinese families.

The reason why the British-funded consortium is so passive at present is that the major families in Xiangjiang are united when they face them, and they can unite in any fight with their British-funded consortium, so that their British-funded consortium does not have much advantage .

Especially with the current development of the Li Group, once there are families in Xiangjiang who want to continue to attack the companies under their British-funded consortium, Li Guangyu will definitely give them some help. Sniped.

Shen Bi said: "Keswick, my suggestion is to contact the local consortium in Singapore. Your group also has a lot of connections there. You can see if anyone from them is willing to take over the Hongkong Electric Group. Many families there are still very Those who are optimistic about the development of Xiangjiang, their entry will also benefit us a lot.”

After Henry Keswick thought for a while, he felt that he could only give it a try for the time being. He wondered if the family in Singapore would dare to come to Xiangjiang to take over the Xiangjiang Electric Group in his hand. The deterrent power of the Li Group But not small.

Henry Keswick said: "Shen Bi, this time I will not only contact the local consortium in Singapore, but also contact some consortia in Australia to see if anyone is willing to take over. After all, the Singapore side is also a Chinese family. I'm afraid it won't be easy for them to come over to take over the offer, but some consortiums from Australia don't have so many concerns, and the Li Group doesn't have much influence in Australia."

Henry Keswick failed to fulfill his wish at HSBC. He can only see if there is a consortium within the Commonwealth to take over. He is in urgent need of funds to ease the financial pressure of the Jardine Group. If he cannot return the funds as soon as possible, he would like to There will be some problems with the operation of the group.

After Henry Keswick returned to the group, he immediately found the general manager of the group's administration department and asked her to contact the leaders in Singapore and Australia to get in touch with the consortium to see if they were willing to eat what he had Xiangjiang Electric Group.

Henry Keswick also specifically confessed not to disclose the Li Group's attitude towards the Hong Kong Electric Group to those consortiums. He was worried that if these groups knew about it, it would make it more difficult for him to sell the Hong Kong Electric Group.

After the inspectors from these groups came over, Henry Keswick would find a way to prevent them from reporting the Lee Group's thoughts on the Hong Kong Electric Group to the headquarters, and just report the operation and financial situation of the Hong Kong Electric Group truthfully.

After the general manager of the group left the office, Henry Keswick contacted Wooden Swire of the Swire Group, told him some of his plans, and asked them to contact the Swire Group in these two regions. Some consortia, see if anyone comes to take over.

Wooden Shi Huaiya has been devastated by the Li Group's offensive in the past two days. If he can make trouble for the Li Group, he is naturally willing.

Wooden Shihuaiya said: "Keswick, your plan is good. I will ask the local person in charge of our group to contact to see if there is any consortium willing to come here to develop."

Henry Keswick said: "It's best to find a consortium with sufficient strength this time, so that the pressure on both our Jardine Group and your Swire Group will be reduced a lot."
