Chapter 530 Meeting Keswick
Chapter 530 Meeting Keswick
It has been three full months since Hengyu Supermarket's [-]% off sale, but Li Guangyu has no intention of stopping at all, and since Watson's main shareholders are Li Guangyu and his family, they don't care about Watson's slight loss.
As time passed, the pressure on Henry Keswick was also increasing. Although he himself hoped that Jardine could continue to keep Wellcome Supermarket.
However, the shareholders of Jardine Holdings put pressure on him time and time again, asking Henry Keswick to give up the operation of Wellcome Supermarket, draw out the funds in this area and continue to invest in Singapore and Australia, and accelerate the development of the market there.
On May 5th, just three months after Hengyu Supermarket’s discount, Henry Keswick contacted Li Guangyu and asked if Li Guangyu was free at 16 am. He would visit Li Guangyu at Li’s Building at this time .
Henry Keswick hoped to negotiate with Li Guangyu. In the past few months, their three supermarkets have been operating at a loss. He hoped that during this stalemate, he could persuade Li Guangyu to stop his practice of harming others and benefiting himself.
After Li Guangyu received the news, he immediately asked Gan Qin to reply to the Jardine Group, and he would wait for Henry Keswick's arrival in the office.
Li Guangyu also has some sources of information in his hands. Among other things, his media outlets have reporters stationed in major regions. He is quite clear about the recent actions of the Jardine Group in Singapore and Australia.
He also wanted to see what Henry Keswick came to see him on purpose today to discuss something with him. He didn't believe that Henry Keswick came here to surrender.
Even if Li Guangyu and Henry Keswick were fighting to the death in the mall, they both hoped that the other party's business would go bankrupt.But on the surface, he still attaches great importance to gentlemanly demeanor.
Li Guangyu specifically ordered Gan Qin to wait for Henry Keswick's arrival at the front desk of the building, and at the same time ordered his assistant Yao Jingwei to brew a pot of Wuyishan Dahongpao and bring it to the office.
The headquarters of the Jardine Group is quite close to the Lee's Building, and both belong to Central. It didn't take long for Henry Keswick to arrive at the Lee's Building.
Seeing Henry Keswick's arrival, Gan Qin immediately stepped forward and said, "Mr. Keswick, welcome."
Henry Keswick naturally knew the person in front of him, he did not expect that Li Guangyu would send Gan Qin to greet him in person at the front desk.It seems that Li Guangyu is still very personable.
He never thought that Li Guangyu would greet him in person at the front desk, that is simply unrealistic, he and Li Guangyu are not in the same line now, and he is not qualified to be greeted by Li Guangyu in person.
Before coming here, he had thought about some possible situations. With the current relationship between Jardine and Li's consortium, he even thought that the front desk administrator might take him to Li Guangyu's office when he came here.
Gan Qin's reception still made him very happy, at least Li Guangyu still recognized Yihe's status, Xiangjiang could not let Gan Qin greet him at the front desk.
After arriving at Li Guangyu's office, Li Guangyu and Henry Keswick exchanged a few words of courtesy, and settled down in the reception area. Gan Qin poured tea for the two and left Li Guangyu's office.
Li Guangyu said: "Mr. Keswick, do you have any advice for coming here?"
Henry Keswick immediately said: "Mr. Li, I am afraid that it is difficult for anyone in Xiangjiang to advise you now, and I myself do not have such qualifications. This time I came here only to hope that our two groups can reach a consensus in some aspects." , to promote the mutual benefit and win-win situation of the two groups.”
Li Guangyu knew why Henry Keswick came here as soon as he heard it. Now the problem between himself and the Jardine Group is mainly in the supermarket. It seems that Jardine may not be able to handle it, otherwise Henry Keswick Ke will not come to negotiate with himself.
Li Guangyu estimated that Henry Keswick was also pressured by Jardine's small shareholders. You must know that many small shareholders at Hutchison Whampoa are quite dissatisfied because of the Watsons issue. Li Guangyu and Li Ka-shing directly invited these shareholders out .
How could Jardine be stable? It is estimated that Henry Keswick has been worrying about this for several months.And due to financial reasons, even if Henry Keswick wants to buy back the capital of these small shareholders, it is very difficult. They currently have a lot of debts in HSBC and Standard Chartered.
Especially last year when Li Guangyu cheated the Keswick family and the Jardine family, the funds of the two families are currently relatively scarce, making them unable to repurchase the shares held by these small shareholders.
Li Guangyu was very happy when he thought of this. He knew that as long as he persisted for a few more months, Wellcome Supermarket would definitely be over. At this time, he would never make peace with Henry Keswick.
Li Guangyu said with a smile: "You are too generous. I am just in my early twenties, and I am still quite lacking in experience. I don't know enough about many issues. These are all things that need to be taught by seniors. Well-known figures like you who have been in the business world for decades are the objects of my study. What we businessmen pay attention to is mutual benefit and win-win results, and I also hope that our two groups can reach agreement on certain issues."
Henry Keswick filtered out the previous sentence about Li Guangyu, and he focused on the latter sentence. This sentence made him seem to see the hope of reaching a consensus with the Li consortium. will be able to continue to survive.
He said: "Mr. Li, since the discounts in several of our supermarkets, we have lost hundreds of millions of Hong Kong dollars in profits every month. This is obviously not in our interests. I wonder if you have any plans to end this discount?"
Li Guangyu said: "I have always respected the opinions of Hengyu's senior management on the matter of the supermarket group. I have not received a proposal to end this event, so we have no such plan at present. Although now The loss is a bit big, but I believe that the top management of Hengyu has their own considerations, and the current loss will definitely be able to obtain greater returns in the future."
Hearing Li Guangyu's answer, Henry Keswick's heart cooled down. It seemed that he had been happy in vain before, and Li Guangyu obviously didn't want to stop until he brought his Wellcome out of business.
As for the opinions of Li Guangyu's senior management of Hengyu Supermarket, Henry Keswick did not believe it at all. Everyone in Xiangjiang knew that the development of the major groups under the Li Consortium was planned by Li Guangyu alone. Just implement the plan given by Li Guangyu.
Besides, how could Hengyu Supermarket Group dare to do so without Li Guangyu's approval for such a big loss from discounts? Li Guangyu's evasive words are really outrageous.
Henry Keswick said: "Mr. Li, you should be clear that our Jardine Group is not afraid of such competition. We have the strength to keep Wellcome in this way. I came here this time to uphold mutual benefit and win-win results." I came here to negotiate with you, and I hope you can seriously consider this matter from the perspective of a businessman, after all, we start a business for profit, not for charity."
Li Guangyu didn't believe that Wellcome could continue to fight against his own Hengyu Supermarket Group. If that was the case, Henry Keswick would not come to visit him.
Li Guangyu said: "Mr. Keswick, this matter is of great importance. I still need to discuss with Li's senior management and Hengyu senior management. I can't give you a definite answer for the time being. The development of our Li's Group over the years has always been Adhering to the attitude of mutual benefit and win-win to seek development, we will not do things that harm others and benefit ourselves.”
Henry Keswick knew that there was no hope for this matter. As for Li Guangyu's words, if he believed his words, he probably would eat up all his property.
Henry Keswick said: "Mr. Li, then I won't bother you, and I hope you will think about it seriously. I look forward to your good news."
