Through the wealth life

Chapter 394 Tianyu Investment Action
Facing some difficulties created by the Swire Group in England, Li Guangyu did not sit still, and ordered Du Yuemei to continue to contact Mrs. Thatcher to obtain permission to form an airline company as much as possible.

At the same time, Li Guangyu also started his own arrangements in Xiangjiang. This time, Li Guangyu will launch a sniper attack on the Swire Group in the stock market. Cathay Pacific is not listed, so he has no choice, but there are still many companies under the Swire Group. Xiangjiang listed.

Among them is Xiangjiang's current main Swire Group, which is also the core enterprise of Swire Group in Xiangjiang, and they represent Swire Group in Xiangjiang.

The British Swire Group holds 39.16% of the shares in this company, which gives Li Guangyu a huge opportunity, and 70% of the shares of Cathay Pacific Airways are in Swire.

In order to control Swire AG with a small amount of funds, the Swire Group issued AB shares in 59 and 73 respectively. Shareholders of both stocks have voting rights for Swire AG, but only five shares of B shares are required. It is equivalent to one voting right of A shares. This is how Swire Group maintains its controlling position in Swire Holdings.

Today, Swire Holdings operates businesses including Swire Properties, Cathay Pacific, aircraft maintenance, and warehousing trade. Thanks to the sharp drop in the stock market, the market value of this company has dropped by tens of billions of Hong Kong dollars. The combined market value of the shares is only more than 80 billion Hong Kong dollars.

You must know that the market value of the two stocks was close to tens of billions of Hong Kong dollars before July, and a big factor was Cathay Pacific's pull on them.

After Li Guangyu came to Tianyu Investment Company, he discussed with Guo Fengtao and Sun Jianping about the acquisition of Swire.

Sun Jianping said: "Sheng Li, it is difficult for us to control Swire Holdings, especially in terms of voting rights. Although Swire holds only 39.16% of the two stocks, most of their shares are concentrated. In A shares, this leads to their voting rights being much higher than their actual shares. According to the information disclosed, their voting rights should exceed 50%, even if we have more shares than them, but in The right to vote is still lost to them.”

After hearing this, Li Guangyu felt that it was a bit difficult to handle. A company issued two stocks with different voting rights. It was really hard for him to say.Such a result led to the fact that even if I had a controlling stake in the shares, I didn't have much to do with the voting rights, so it didn't make much sense to acquire it.

However, Li Guangyu did not intend to give up his attack on Swire Group in the stock market. Even if he could not buy it, he still had to scare the Shi Huaiya family, otherwise they would always make trouble for themselves in London.

Li Guangyu said: "Feng Tao, you will start to buy two stocks of Swire Group for me in the stock market, and focus on A shares. Once Swire Group makes a move, you will give me a high-profile acquisition. Now your account The funds on the website are enough to eat up Swire AG.”

Guo Fengtao naturally had no objection. Except for the funds allocated to a few companies last time, the other funds in the stock market were all in his own company's account. None of them have been transferred away. At present, their company still has more than 180 billion Hong Kong dollars in funds. It is no problem to acquire Swire AG entirely.

Guo Fengtao said: "Li Sheng, we will start to absorb the shares of Swire Holdings as soon as the stock market opens tomorrow, and try to get more shares in the stock market before Swire Group reacts. At the same time, we will send people to contact some of the Swire Holdings. Minority shareholders, at this time, I think they are very happy to sell these shares in their hands."

Li Guangyu did not intervene in the specific operation of the stock market. In this regard, Guo Fengtao and others were much more professional than him. Even if Li Guangyu could not control Swire Holdings this time, he still had to hold some shares.

The future development of Swire Pacific should not be underestimated, especially its subsidiary Cathay Pacific Airways. If Li Guangyu's own airline company cannot be approved in England, Cathay Pacific Airways will still become the giant of Xiangjiang Airlines just like in his previous life. exist.

Li Guangyu then said to Guo Fengtao: "You check the Xiangjiang Milk Company under the Jardine Group to see if we have a chance to eat them. The Xiangjiang Electric Lighting Group now has an absolute controlling stake. It is difficult for us to start. Take a look at this." company's situation."

Guo Fengtao did not expect that Li Guangyu would directly attack the two British consortiums this time. Swire was not enough, and he had to find trouble with the Jardine Group. It seemed that Li Sheng was indeed annoyed by the affairs of the British side this time.

Guo Fengtao said: "Li Sheng, Dairy Milk International is now a wholly-owned subsidiary of Jardine Land Group. If we want to acquire them, we must first control Jardine Land Group. Now this real estate group under the Jardine Group is affected by the stock market. impact, and the market value is only less than 50 billion Hong Kong dollars, do we need to snipe them?"

Li Guangyu thought for a while, and finally did not agree with Guo Fengtao's opinion. The real estate group will plummet next year, and after Newbikin lost in Wharf, they let Jardine Holdings and Jardine Land hold each other's shares to ensure Jardine's Li Guangyu really didn't want to take control of these groups.

If it weren't for the Swire Group owning Cathay Pacific Airways and causing trouble for itself in London, Li Guangyu would not have thought of taking over his Swire Holdings Company. Apart from Cathay Pacific Airways, Li Guangyu didn't set his sights on other companies Li Guangyu doesn't care much about other industries in the industry, although he owns the Swire Beverage Company.

Li Guangyu said: "Then you don't have to worry about the Jardine Group. You put all your energy on the Swire Group. I don't believe that the Huaiya family can remain indifferent to our actions in the stock market. The shares they currently hold are not Insurance, even if he has enough voting rights, he will worry that we will be able to find a way to deal with it in the future."

Sun Jianping himself was a little puzzled. Now that the three major foreign firms of the British consortium, Li Guangyu all targeted Jardine and Swire, why did he turn a blind eye to Wheelock? Speaking of which, Wheelock is the weakest of the three firms. It is also the easiest one for them to acquire.

However, Sun Jianping was very wise not to ask such questions. These matters were all considered by Li Guangyu and the group's senior management. In his current status, he was not qualified to dictate the group's development.

Now, as long as you follow Li Sheng's request, Li Ka-shing's acquisition of Hutchison Whampoa was a sensation at that time. His benefits are considerable.

Sun Jianping also hopes that he can develop towards a higher platform. This time, as long as he can do well this time, he will gain more weight in Li Sheng's mind, and his promotion will be fast.

In the past, the manager of the investment department was the deputy general manager of the company, on the same level as the vice president of the Li Group. Now that the group has been established, this position has been downgraded several levels. Now I am completely a middle-level manager of the group. Even the middle management of the group can't get in, so he won't let this opportunity pass by.
