Chapter 396 Singapore Consortium

The rapid development of Xiangjiang in recent years, coupled with the reform and opening up of the mainland, has made many Chinese consortiums in Southeast Asia hope to enter the Xiangjiang market to get a piece of the pie, and at the same time serve as a springboard for them to enter the mainland market.

This time, with the invitation from Jardine and Swire, the rich people in Singapore are quite interested in winning such a high-quality company as Xiangjiang Electric Group. When Li Guangyu is busy attacking Swire in the stock market, Singapore The heirs or heads of many families have come to Xiangjiang in person to understand the situation here, so that they can decide whether to buy the shares in Jardine.

On the night of the 18th, at Bao Yugang’s home, Bao Yugang warmly received the head of the Qiu family from Singapore, Qiu Deba. Bao Yugang is a world-class ship king, and Singapore, on the Asian side, is the throat of the Strait of Malacca. , Bao Yugang has a good relationship with the major families in Singapore, and the Qiu family is also one of Bao Yugang's important collaborators.

At the banquet, Bao Yugang said: "Deba, you haven't been to Xiangjiang for several years, how come you have time to come to Xiangjiang in person this time?"

Qiu Deba mainly wanted to enter the mainland market, which has a huge market of 12 billion people, and his Qiu family naturally would not give up such an opportunity.This time, he came to Xiangjiang in person to see how the situation here is, just to see if Xiangjiang Electric Lighting Company is worth buying by himself.

Qiu Deba said: "Yu Gang, now your strength is getting stronger and stronger. The Chinese family in Xiangjiang is developing so fast. Our Chinese family in Singapore can't compare with you. I came to Xiangjiang this time because of Yi Invited by Hehe Group and Swire Group, come to inspect Xiangjiang Electric Group, Jardine intends to sell this group, this time not only me, but several of our companies have personnel here."

After Bao Yugang heard this, his complexion was not very good. The coming of these consortiums from Singapore is bound to confront the Li Group, who is currently busy fighting with the Swire Group.Bao Yugang also knows some news about what happened in England. The Swire Group is cooperating with some British MPs to put pressure on the government to let the government reject Li Guangyu's establishment of an airline company.

Now Jardine and Swire have brought in a Singaporean consortium, obviously hoping to divert Li Guangyu's attention.Bao Yugang knew clearly that Li Guangyu did not give up on Xiangjiang Electric Group, otherwise he would not continue to hold 13.1% of the shares of Xiangjiang Electric Group.

Bao Yugang asked: "Deba, do you really want to acquire Xiangjiang Electric Group? Do you know that this may cause your consortiums to lose their footing in Xiangjiang?"

Qiu Deba didn't know the inside story very well. After all, the fight between Li Guangyu and Jardine ended too quickly at that time, and with MacLehose coming forward, the public opinion about the two families was quickly suppressed. These families far away in Singapore It's not very clear what's going on inside, but it's the uproar about Bao Yugang's acquisition of Wharf Chuan.

When Qiu Deba heard Bao Yugang say this, he was a little puzzled. He and others belonged to a Chinese family, and they were invited by a British consortium. If he and others bought Xiangjiang Electric Group, there would be no big problems. Why? It's as if if I wait for someone to acquire the Xiangjiang Electric Lighting Group, I will cut myself off from the Xiangjiang market.

Qiu Deba said: "Yu Gang, you also know that the reform and opening up of the mainland has led to rapid economic development, especially in Pengcheng, which is opposite you. Naturally, our Singapore consortium also hopes to enter the mainland market. Xiangjiang is our springboard. You also know how much influence the Xiangjiang Electric Group has on Xiangjiang, and our families in Singapore still hope to take over this company. Besides, it is better to control this group in our hands than in the hands of a British consortium."

When Bao Yugang heard this, he knew that Qiu Deba didn't know the inside story. Henry Keswick also approached some families in Xiangjiang, and even asked himself if he wanted to take over the Xiangjiang Electric Group, but who would dare to take over this Xiangjiang family? The family group, they don't have the courage to face the attack of the Li's group, especially at this time.

The steady stream of cash in the hands of the Li Group gives them a natural advantage when facing other groups, and the Li Group is now in full swing in Xiangjiang, and no family wants to go against them.

Bao Yugang said: "Deba, as a friend, I advise you not to make an idea of ​​the Xiangjiang Electric Group, which is not good for you. We have so many families in Xiangjiang, and some of them are stronger than your Qiu family. Strong, why no one took over the Heungkong Electric Group, Jardine Group and they even traveled thousands of miles to find you to take over, have you never thought about the reason?"

Qiu Deba's face was a bit ugly when he heard this. Many families in Xiangjiang are indeed much stronger than himself. He doesn't think that these families don't know the benefits of having Xiangjiang Electric Group in their hands.

Qiu Deba said: "Yu Gang, don't play around with me. You also know that the industries of our big families in Singapore are basically in Singapore, Malaysia and Indonesia. Our big families in Xiangjiang haven't entered much. Some of the secret information here is still not well understood.”

Qiu Degen's focus is in places like Singapore and Malaysia. Because of the local consortium and the British consortium in Xiangjiang, it is not easy for them to enter the market here, so they don't know much about the information on Xiangjiang. I mainly rely on the news to know some, and I don't know much about the deep-level news.

Bao Yugang said: "You also know that I bought Wharf, don't you also feel that I am very lucky, and I snatched up this group last year so easily."

Qiu Degen said with a smile: "Yu Gang, I was really shocked when I received the news. The Jardine Group not only has great influence in Hong Kong, but also in Singapore. I didn't expect you to be able to pull out your teeth and snatch Kowloon from them." Cang, our big families admire your ability very much."

Did Bao Yugang know that this was not his luck, it was just that the Li Group pushed him from behind.If the Li Group hadn't transferred the shares to itself at that time, it would undoubtedly be a dream for him to want to control Wharf.

Bao Yugang said: "You may not know it when you are far away in Singapore. Just before I bought Wharf, the Li Guangyu consortium and Jardine Matheson had a battle. In that battle, the Li Group mobilized tens of billions of Hong Kong dollars to prepare to eat at the same time." With Heungkong Electric Group and Heungkong Telephone Group, Jardine has prepared more than 50 billion Hong Kong dollars in funds to deal with the acquisition of Li's Group."

"In just three days, the Jardines Group almost failed to keep both groups. Both the Jardines Group and the Lee Group hold more than 45% of the shares. The decision is in the hands of HSBC. In the end, it was MacLehose who came forward and they only controlled the shares. A group. But the Lee Group has no intention of giving up, they still hold 13.1% of the shares of Xiangjiang Electric Group, and are preparing to buy again."

Qiu Deba didn't expect that there was such a hidden secret in it. No wonder Bao Yugang bought it so easily. The Li Group helped him exhaust the Jardine Group before, and he picked up a bargain later.

Qiu Deba knew quite a lot about Li Guangyu, and it would be really difficult for their big families to confront the Li Group.Not only is Li's group so powerful, but its allies are also ridiculously strong. Neither his grandfather's He family nor his wife's Cao family are easy-going, and none of them are weaker than them.

Qiu Deba said: "Yu Gang, this is a normal commercial acquisition for us. It shouldn't be so serious. It is impossible for us not to enter the Xiangjiang market because of the Li Group. Besides, if the Li Group wants to acquire any group, we will If we have to give in, what kind of business do we still have, why are your Xiangjiang families starting to be timid, when the British consortium dominated Xiangjiang, we didn’t see you give in.”

When Bao Yugang saw that Qiu Deba seemed to be really interested in acquiring the Heung Kong Electric Group, he had already reminded him that if he had any troubles in the future and asked for help, he would have a reason to shirk it. It seems that these Singapore consortiums do not understand Li Guangyu's character Ah, is the thing he fancy so easy to grab?
Bao Yugang said: "Deba, I've said everything I need to say. How you choose is your own business. I can't do anything about the Li Group in the future. Please don't blame your old friend when the time comes. Not helping you."

Qiu Deba didn't expect that Li Guangyu's deterrent power would be so great, but he also had confidence in their alliance, and his own companies were backed by several big banks, so he still didn't believe that Li Guangyu could do anything to them.
