Hong Kong Island's wealthy era

Chapter 30 Mantis Catching Cicadas
That night, Lei Liquan went home to have dinner with his father, Lei Juehua, and communicated with each other about the development status of their respective companies.

The father and son chatted happily, and the whole night was filled with laughter from the old and the young.

Early the next morning, Lei Liquan was still asleep when he was awakened by the sound of the phone on the bedside table.

This is the little wild cat Li Yanzhen calling.

Lei Liquan lost his sleep all of a sudden. He said to Li Yanzhen on the phone, "My dear, do you miss me so early?"

"If I don't miss you, why don't you dump me?"

"Hahahaha... the enemy".

Xiaoxiao showed off her affection for a while on the phone...

"Stop making trouble. My dad asked me to date you. I have something to discuss with you. You haven't gotten up yet. Get up quickly."

"Don't scare me. Tell me your address quickly. I'll be there in an hour."Father-in-law summons, and speed is required.

After going out, Lei Liquan never thought about what his father-in-law wanted to do with him.

Only after meeting him did he realize that his father-in-law had come to give him a gift.

……

As soon as he arrived at the hotel lobby, he saw Li Yanzhen walking towards him and said, "Brother Li, my dad has a private room on the second floor."

The little wild cat is neither noisy nor fussy today, very well-behaved...

"Do you know what your dad wants to do with me?" Lei Liquan wants the little wild cat to know something?
"I really don't know." After Li Yanzhen finished speaking, she arrived at the door of the private room soon.

As soon as he entered the private room, he saw Li Xiaohe reading a newspaper, and it was a daily newspaper.

"Uncle, morning." In front of his elders, Lei Liquan had to act nice.

"Come on, sit down."

Lei Liquan sat down obediently, a little nervous.Li Yanzhen on the side couldn't help but laugh.

Lei Liquan couldn't figure out why he was so nervous when he did it himself?

"Young people, be more casual." Li Xiaohe picked up the Tiantian Daily in his hand and said, "The newspaper is very good."

"Uncle's wonderful praise! Everyday Daily is a common newspaper and cannot be published on the stage."

"As long as the influence is there." Li Xiaohe smiled.

There was an Eight Immortals table in the private room of the restaurant, and there were only two of them sitting on the table.

In order to prevent outsiders from interrupting their conversation, Li Yanzhen obediently acted as a temporary waiter, carrying a plate and constantly delivering snacks to the table.

Li Xiaohe picked up the teapot and went to pour tea for Lei Liquan. At this time, Li Yanzhen had already sat down. She and Lei Liquan reached out at the same time to grab the teapot, but Li Xiaohe refused.

Li Xiaohe insisted on pouring tea for Lei Liquan, and then said, "I'm asking you to do a favor."

Lei Liquan hurriedly expressed his position and said: "Uncle, as long as you have some use for me, you can ask for it. As long as I can do it, I will never refuse."

Lei Liquan looked confused. Seeing Li Xiaohe being so polite, he thought that the matter must not be simple, but there was no good way to express his position first.

Seeing that Lei Liquan was serious, Li Xiaohe suddenly joked: "Are you really not going to refuse? When my family gets together during the Mid-Autumn Festival this year, you will come with A-Zhen."

Is this recognition?Is this possible today?It shouldn't be possible.

"Dad, is it true?" Li Yunzhen felt so happy.

But her dad was just joking.

Without waiting for Lei Liquan to answer, Li Xiaohe started talking about business: "Uncle Azhen came to see me recently. He has received the news that within this month, Jardine Matheson and Hong Kong Electric will launch a hostile takeover of Towngas. Lijia We have been short of funds recently, so I would like to ask you to be a white warrior to help Uncle Azhen block Jardine and Hong Kong Electric." After hearing what Li Xiaohe said, Lei Liquan put away the smile on his face and began to think deeply.

Li Yanzhen was also very nervous. She didn't know whether it was true or not, so she asked Li Xiaohe in a low voice: "Dad, is this true or false? Is the uncle's gas company really being maliciously blocked?"

Growing up, her father rarely said such negative things, so it seemed that it was almost true.

Li Xiaohe said that if he could not withstand the blockage, then China Gas would most likely change hands. After all, Li was also the king of shops in Causeway Bay.

In 1964, Li Mingze led his family to invest in the Hong Kong and China Gas Company. Towngas was a century-old company. It was originally an industry owned by British-owned Wheelock. It was acquired by Li Mingze of the Lee family ten years ago. Under his leadership, Towngas introduced new technologies, built new plants, and increased production, which increased Hong Kong residents' demand for gas. It has now become a super-large livelihood enterprise that dominates Hong Kong.

In his previous life, China Gas was attacked by Jardine Matheson and Hong Kong Electric at the end of the year. Li Mingze couldn't resist it and introduced the white warrior Lee Shau Kee.

Lee Shau-kee accepted the advice of Li Mingze and others of the Gas Company and bought 20 shares of the Gas Company on the open market, repelling British capital. From then on, Hong Kong's gas business was firmly in the hands of the Chinese.

In 1983, after Lee Ming-ze died of illness, Lee Shau-kee officially took office as the chairman of the board of directors of the Towngas Company. Since then, the China Gas Company, which monopolized the Hong Kong gas supply market, fell into the hands of Lee Shau-kee.

What is supposed to come will come eventually, and it will not change just because someone is reborn.

Lei Liquan does not intend to give up the energy meat of China Gas. In his previous life, stocks related to people's livelihood were welcomed by the market because of stable dividends every year.

He had been preparing for almost a year, but when the time came, Lei Liquan still felt that he didn't have enough money.

But whether he should agree to Li Xiaohe and serve as the white warrior of China Gas to compete with Jardine Matheson, Lei Liquan would definitely agree.

But he also told Li Xiaohe that it takes time to prepare, which is human nature.

……

Finished morning tea.

Going straight to the company, Lei Liquan found Xu Wen, the head of investment.

"Xu Sheng, I need you to investigate a company that benefits the family."

"Lei Sheng, is it China Gas?"

"how do you know?"

Xu Wen looked at him and said with a smile: "Last year, Lei Sheng, you asked me to go to the stock market to buy shares of Towngas, so as long as there is any slight disturbance in Towngas, I will naturally know that in the past two months, the two shares of Towngas The monthly changes are huge, and this is a profitable enterprise, so I am very concerned about it.”

"The board of directors of Hong Kong Electric acquired the shares of Towngas from a businessman named Ho Ting-sik."

Lei Liquan was relatively unfamiliar with this businessman: "Who is He Tingxi?"

"He's a broker."

Xu Wen introduced Lei Liquan and said: "He founded Jiali Securities in the 60s. In 18.7, he joined forces with Li Mingze of the Lee family to acquire China Gas from Wheelock. Li Mingze's shareholding With a share of [-]%, he is the major shareholder and the chairman of the board of directors, and He Tingxi is the vice chairman."

The combined shareholdings of Li Mingze and He Tingxi account for [-]%. If anyone wants to snipe at China Gas, as long as they buy the placard line on the stock market, Li Mingze and He Tingxi will immediately increase their holdings of stocks, which can completely ensure that the controlling power is far away. Take the lead and don’t give anyone an opportunity to take advantage of you.

Fortresses are often breached from within, and so are shopping malls.

Xu Wen added: "Hong Kong Electric did not know what method it used to persuade He Tingxi to sell his shares, and then joined forces with Jardine Matheson and Company to secretly absorb it in the stock market. At present, the combined shares held by the two companies have been compared with that of Hong Kong Electric Co., Ltd. The same goes for Mingze, they launched a surprise attack, which caused Li Mingze to prepare for war and he missed the opportunity."

A few days ago, Jardine Matheson and Hong Kong Electric officially forced the company to go to court. They sent representatives to negotiate with Li Mingze and proposed to acquire Li Mingze's shares at a high price. However, Li Mingze rejected it.

The price of rejection is a real fight in the stock market. Next, Jardine Matheson and Hong Kong Electric will launch a sniper war in the stock market and carry out a forced and malicious merger with China Gas.

Li Mingze convened a meeting with all members of the Li family to discuss, and finally came to the conclusion that once Jardine Matheson and Hong Kong Electric launched a sniper attack, China Gas would be lost and foreign aid would have to be found.

But who should we look for for foreign aid?
