Video Game Empire - Chapter 675
Before Li Xuan left the Peninsula Hotel, there was a small episode. Michael Kadoorie, Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Grand Hotel Group, who was working in the Peninsula Hotel, heard that Jiahua Bank was holding a celebration banquet, so he came over to congratulate him. Li Xuan, the two had a brief and cordial conversation.
Many secrets cannot be kept. The Kadoorie family suffered the most serious crisis in history last year. The two core assets of the family, the Chunghwa Electric Power Company and the Grand Hotel Group, were attacked at the same time, and the behind-the-scenes planning of all this It was Li Xuan.
As the turmoil passed, the Kadoorie family was cut off by Liu Ruanxiong, but they finally retained control of the hotel group. After this crisis, the older generation in power of the Kadoorie family has fully handed over the shift, and the 50-year-old Michael Kadoorie has become the new head of the Kadoorie family.
Logically speaking, his family was beaten with a sap for no reason, and Michael Kadoorie should have hated Li Xuan, the real murderer. However, taking advantage of the opportunity of Jiahua Bank’s banquet held at the Peninsula Hotel, Michelle took the initiative to approach Li Xuan to chat with him. There was no hostility in the warm smile on his face.
I have to say that the new head of the Kadoorie family is an extremely powerful businessman. He is very clear that competition in the market has always been the law of the jungle, and the losers will only be eliminated, not sympathized. The strength of the Kadoorie family and the Eastern Group is so disparate that they have no chance of resisting. If they don’t swallow the bitter fruit in silence, but instead show their dissatisfaction with Li Xuan and the Dongfang Group, they are likely to provoke a bigger blow!
Taking the Peninsula Hotel as an example, the reason why it is one of the most famous high-end hotels in Hong Kong is not only because of its long history and its strategic location, but also because celebrities from all walks of life are willing to join in. For example, many celebrities in Hong Kong are willing to come here for afternoon tea, and many rich people have private rooms in hotels for many years.
But since the big hotel group suffered a takeover crisis last year, the Peninsula’s occupancy rate has dropped significantly. Even the most famous tea house in the Peninsula Hotel seems to be no longer the first choice for film and television stars and Hong Kong socialites to invite friends and spend their leisure time in the afternoon.
The reason for this is not that the service level of Peninsula Hotel has declined. Although the battle for control of listed companies in the capital market was in full swing, the operations of physical enterprises including Peninsula Hotel have not been affected too much.
The real reason for the decline in the performance of The Peninsula Hotel was that there were gossip rumors in Hong Kong society at that time. Li Xuan was very dissatisfied with the Kadoorie family for some reason and wanted to give them some color. Therefore, many big bosses who have business dealings with Dongfang Group, as well as stars who have cooperated with Asia Entertainment Group, take the initiative to keep a distance from the Peninsula Hotel with the attitude of preferring to believe it or not!
When Michael Kadoorie first learned that the person targeting his family was the famous “God of Wealth Lee”, he was also very puzzled and angry. After all, neither the hotel group nor the China Electric Power Company has much connection with the main business of the Oriental Group.
Then, after a deeper understanding, he found that the other party just wanted to kill chickens and monkeys. And the Kadoorie family was unlucky, and when Li Xuan happened to be the “chicken” that was killed, he couldn’t help but feel a little sad!
But no matter what Michael Kadoorie thinks, if the hotel group wants to establish a foothold in Hong Kong, it must have a good relationship with the increasingly powerful Oriental Group. So when he heard that Jiahua Bank was going to choose a hotel for a business dinner, he deliberately asked The Peninsula Hotel to fight for it. When he received a call from the hotel manager saying that Li Xuan was attending the banquet in person at the Peninsula Hotel, Michael Kadoorie, who had already gone home, immediately returned to the Peninsula Hotel by car, creating a chance encounter with Li Xuan.
Compared with Michael Kadoorie, who was deliberate, Li Xuan didn’t pay so much attention to the other party. In fact, after he instigated Li Jiacheng and Liu Ruanxiong to attack the Kadoorie family, he completely put the matter aside. It was not until the dust of the acquisition war was settled that when his secretary mentioned the final result to him, he could not help but sigh, the old business family is indeed not to be underestimated!
That’s right, in Li Xuan’s view, Li Jiacheng’s entry into the CLP Company was almost 100%, but he failed to do his best in the end! At that time, the Kadoorie family saw that they could not compete with Li Jiacheng in terms of financial resources, but they did not take it easy, but chose to fight in a roundabout way. He first questioned through public opinion that both CLP and HK Electric would fall into the hands of Li Jiacheng, which would result in Li Jiacheng’s absolute monopoly on Hong Kong’s electricity and would be detrimental to the interests of all Hong Kong citizens.
Secondly, in the face of Li Ka-shing, a barbarian who was about to forcibly break in, the Kadoorie family found a white knight who was willing to save the scene. Just when Li Jiacheng’s CLP shares were about to exceed 50% and complete the absolute control of the listed company, the Kadoorie family preemptively announced the transfer of 15% of the shares to China-Xintai-Fu Group.
When Li Xuan acquired Dragonair before, he could not be a bird of Zhongxintaifu, but in the eyes of most Hong Kong people, China Merchants Group, Hong Kong China Travel Service, Hong Kong Bank of China, China Resources and other Chinese-funded groups in Hong Kong, some kind of To a certain extent, it can represent the will of the central government in the north. Therefore, in the late 1970s, when China-Run went to the New Territories to acquire land, it was immediately interpreted by Hong Kong public opinion that China acquiesced to the British to continue to rule Hong Kong after 9-7.
The sudden intervention of CITIC Pacific also caught Li Jiacheng by surprise, and made the dispute over the control of CLP more complicated.
In fact, the relationship between the Kadoorie family and the Chinese side has always been very good. Just when British-owned companies such as Jardine and HSBC were preparing to fade out of Hong Kong, the CLP Corporation under the control of the Kadoorie family did the opposite and chose to take the initiative to go north to meet with the Chinese side. East Guangdong Province-Government-Government joint venture to build Da-Yawan Nuclear-Power Plant.
Now that the Da-Yawan Nuclear-Power Plant is under intense construction, the Chinese side definitely does not want the CLP equity dispute to affect the progress of this important project. Therefore, CITIC Pacific-Fu entered the game at this time, so that Li Jiacheng had to consider the meaning of the mainland government.
In the end ~www.mtlnovel.com~ the result of the CLP competition was that Li Jiacheng held 35% of the shares and joined the CLP board of directors as a major shareholder. CITIC Pacific holds 25% of the shares and becomes the second shareholder of Chunghwa Electric Power Company. As for the Kadoorie family, only 15% of the shares are retained, but they continue to retain the right to operate CLP as the third shareholder. At the same time, the Kadoorie family and CITIC Pacific have also made a commitment that they will not challenge Li Jiacheng’s position as a major shareholder!
It can be said that under the mediation of Zhongxintai-Fu, Li Jiacheng was spared and spared. Not only did he not kill the Kadoorie family, but even the management rights of CLP were generously left to the other party.
In this comparison, Li Xuan, who is secretly provoking trouble, is actually the number one villain in this drama! It can only be said that the old foxes like Li Xuan, Li Jiacheng and Kadoorie are a lot worse than their business skills!
But Li Xuan doesn’t need these twists and turns, because in the face of absolute strength, all tricks will only be useless!
