Chapter 442 Henry Keswick's Sorrow
After the board meeting, Wooden Swire explained to Henry Keswick the transfer of Swire Pacific Air Cargo Terminals shares.

Henry Keswick immediately asked Wooden Shuaiya to give up such an idea, and said to him dissatisfied: "Siya, what you do will only make the influence of our British consortium less and less. In aviation On the one hand, the Air Passenger Company and Xiangjiang Aircraft Engineering Company have been lost. If this company is also lost now, the Li’s consortium will completely monopolize the Xiangjiang Aviation market. And our respective groups also have a lot of cargo by air, don’t you Are you worried that the Li Family Group will get stuck with us?"

Wooden Shi Huaiya no longer wants to compete with the Lee consortium, and their strength is no longer the power and influence of the four foreign firms.He just wants to manage the Xiangjiang industry well with peace of mind, and he doesn't want his Swire Group to completely lose the Xiangjiang market.

Wooden Shi Huaiya said: "Keswick, I just notified you of our decision, so that you can prepare early. Do you think we can still beat the Lee consortium if we continue like this? You agree There is nothing wrong with Hejia’s big business? But look at us, Hutchison Whampoa was eaten up by Li Ka-shing and Li Guangyu, and Wheelock was completely privatized by Li Guangyu. Our second largest shareholder of Swire is Li Guangyu , What are we going to use to compete with Li's consortium?"

Henry Keswick was also sad when he heard it. The four major foreign firms that once dominated the Hong Kong economy have fallen into such a state.He wanted to try his best to maintain the status of the British consortium in Xiangjiang, but the reality was so cruel that even the remaining Taikoo was not prepared to stand by his side anymore.If it's just Jardine's words, how can it resist the attack of the Huo Li's consortium.

However, Henry Keswick had no intention of surrendering to Li Guangyu. As the leader of the British consortium in Xiangjiang, the Jardine Group would not bow to the Chinese family.Moreover, he did not believe that the British government would just watch the British consortium be forced to withdraw from Xiangjiang.

Moreover, the two major banks will not watch them fall. Once Jardine falls, Li Guangyu will point his gun at them.Henry Keswick knew that the Lee Consortium was obsessed with the right to issue banknotes in Hong Kong dollars.Only when the Li's consortium obtains the right to issue banknotes in Hong Kong dollars can the Li's consortium fully establish its position in Hong Kong.

Henry Keswick said: "Shi Huaiya, I am not interfering in your decision. Do you think that if you do this, the Lee consortium will no longer target our British consortium? I'm afraid you are too naive. As long as we If the influence of Li’s consortium is still there, the Li’s consortium will not give up on suppressing us. At this time, we should unite and resist the Li’s consortium’s acquisition of our company.”

Wooden Shihuaiya did not agree with Henry Keswick's opinion. What the Lee consortium is worried about is the Jardine Matheson Group and the two major banks. They are still the second largest shareholder of their own company. If the company develops well, they will be the same make money.As long as they don't compete with Li's consortium, they won't touch them.

Moreover, the situation in Xiangjiang is complicated, and the existence of its own Swire Group is also a kind of help for the Li's Consortium, especially when it is difficult for the Li's Consortium to come forward on some issues, their Swire Group does not care.

Wooden Shihuaiya said: "Keswick, you should consider with the senior management of your group what to do with the shares in your hand. I think Li Guangyu will take action once he acquires the shares in my hand. They will Owning 75% of the shares, your little shares are not going to do anything."

Henry Keswick said: "Why are you so anxious to sell this part of the shares? Now that the situation in Xiangjiang is unclear, you can wait for the future of Xiangjiang to be clear before deciding whether to sell your shares. Our two shares together account for half of the shares. , Li's consortium has nothing to do about it."

Henry Keswick still hoped that Wooden Shihuaiya would not sell his shares for the time being, so that he would have more time to consider the next things.Now, he is not too worried about Jardine. They all hold more than half of the shares. It is impossible for the Li's consortium to buy it in the stock market.

Wooden Schwariya said: "Keswick, you should stop thinking that our British-funded consortium can reproduce the glory before the 70s. Now Xiangjiang has become the world of Chinese-funded families. Why don't we take a step back and take the space If some come out, I believe that they will fight for their own interests. We will slowly accumulate strength secretly and grow the group."

Henry Keswick didn't want to do this. If the market backed down, he might never get it back in the future.Moreover, the Jardine Group itself is not like the Swire Group. Several important companies over there have been acquired by the Huazi Group. Now these have little impact on Xiangjiang.

Dairy Milk International and Wellcome Supermarket under their own have a great influence on the citizens of Xiangjiang. The Lee consortium and the Chinese capital group will not let them go easily.In particular, Dairy Milk International Company was acquired by its own group with abundant funds during the stock market crash in 73. At that time, many Chinese-owned families were dissatisfied. As long as they saw an opportunity, they would definitely jump on it.

Henry Keswick said: "Shi Huaiya, can you think about it more and suspend the sale. Let's discuss it with Shen Bi and George Lavin. I don't think the Li's consortium can make a move on the four of us."

Wooden Shihuaiya said: "Keswick, we have thought clearly on our side, and at the same time, the Singapore consortium has also agreed to the acquisition of the shares. It's not like you don't know the difficulties we are facing now, Li Guangyu Both of these two groups are shareholders, and if we do not reach a settlement with the Li Group, many of our plans and plans will simply not be implemented."

Talking about Wooden Shihuaiya, I was depressed for a while. Not only did the board of directors of the Lee Consortium oppose it, but the media under it would also spread the matter to the outside world, using Xiangjiang's public opinion to put pressure on them, and they didn't care whether the group could make a profit.

The Li's consortium doesn't care about making money for the company, but he and the Singapore consortium do care. If he doesn't make money, why would he work so hard? They don't have the money-printing machine groups under the Li's consortium. I don't want my group to serve the citizens of Xiangjiang for free. Serve.

Henry Keswick saw that Wooden Shihuaiya was determined to sell his shares in order to reach a settlement with the Lee consortium, and knew that his persuasion had no effect.

So I said to him: "Keswick, since this is the case, I will not say anything more. I hope you will not regret it by then. With the aggressive momentum of the Lee consortium, he will not tolerate our British consortium in Xiangjiang. What kind of influence does this side have? I'm afraid your concession will only make him unscrupulously acquire other companies under our British capital."

After Henry Keswick hung up the phone, he was thinking about what Jardine should do next. Taikoo's concession would allow the Lee Consortium to focus all their energy on Jardine.With the current situation of Jardine, it cannot withstand the attack of Li's consortium.

In the past, there were still many allies in the face of Chinese capital groups, but now every family lost their Jardines and almost became lonely. Thinking of this, Henry Keswick felt even more sad.
