363 Java Road, North Point, Hong Kong.
This is the current headquarters of China Gas Company.
In the morning, after Mo Zhexuan and Guan Jiahui finished their breakfast at the luxury villa at 33 Repulse Bay, they went about their own business.
With the release of "The First Time" in Hong Kong cinemas, Guan Jiahui also gained a little fame. Now, through investment, she was put into the crew of "Five Fortunes" and replaced the popular star Zhong Chuhong.
Now everyone in Hong Kong knows that Mo Zhexuan is backing Guan Jiahui, which makes others give him face. After all, Mo Zhexuan is very famous in Hong Kong and no one wants to offend him easily.
As soon as the Ford Cortina stopped in the parking lot, a middle-aged man in a suit and tie came up quickly.
"Mr. Mo! I'm Dong Shaowen, the current general manager of China Gas Company. I welcome you to guide us."
"Let's not talk about the politeness anymore. Are all the other shareholders here?"
Mo Zhexuan shook hands with the other party and asked quickly.
"Mr. Henry Keswick of Jardine Matheson hasn't arrived yet, but Mr. Li Ka-kit of Henderson Land Development has."
Dong Shaowen pondered for a moment and immediately told everything he knew.
When I walked into a conference room, I saw a young face wearing glasses. I guess it was Li Ka-shing’s eldest son, Li Ka-kit.
"Mr. Li! Hello! Nice to meet you. Isn't Uncle Li coming over today?"
"My father has something important to do today, so he has entrusted me with full authority to handle all matters concerning China Gas Company."
A hint of surprise flashed in Li Jiajie's eyes behind his glasses. He learned from the news that Mo Zhexuan had just turned twenty years old.
He is one year younger than me. I originally thought it was fake, but now that I see this young face, I believe it.
After a conversation, the two people of the same age immediately became familiar with each other.
In his previous life, Mo Zhexuan was a fund manager on Wall Street. Acquiring investments and accompanying clients was a common occurrence for him, so he had already developed a silver tongue.
In just a few words, he got a lot of useful information from Li Jiajie, just as the two of them were chatting enthusiastically.
The door of the conference room opened, and a tall old man with white hair and blue eyes walked in, exuding an unparalleled aura.
"Everyone is here, right? We should officially start now!"
Henry Keswick glanced at Mo Zhexuan and Li Jiajie, and a cold light flashed in the depths of his eyes.
"Currently, Jardine Matheson holds a 39.6% stake in China Gas. As the company's largest shareholder, I propose a share issuance and capital increase, issuing 15 million shares to the public to meet the requirements of the Hong Kong Stock Exchange. Do you have any opinions?"
"I have no objection!"
Mo Zhexuan frowned. This was a blatant conspiracy. If China Gas Company were to delist next, that would be something no one wanted to see.
"That's fine with me!"
Li Jiajie followed suit and expressed his agreement, his eyes closely fixed on Henry Keswick's every move, wanting to see what tricks this old guy would play next.
Henry Keswick was not surprised that his first item on the agenda was passed.
Because no one wants China Gas Company to be delisted in the end, as that would bring huge losses to the three of them.
"Since no one has any objections, let's move on to the second topic."
"Since China Gas Company has just reached a cooperation agreement with Australia International Mining Company, it will vigorously develop the laying of gas pipelines in Kowloon Peninsula."
"The amount of capital required will be astronomical, so I propose that we inject a total of HK$1 billion into the China Gas Company in proportion to our respective shareholdings. What do you think?"
As soon as these words were spoken, the temperature in the room suddenly dropped several degrees.
Mo Zhexuan and Li Jiajie looked at each other, and everything was self-explanatory. This meant that Henry Keswick had revealed his true intentions and was laying his cards on the table. He was just short of directly stating that he was rich, and it didn't matter whether you followed him or not!
"I disagree! After we raise funds through share expansion, China Gas will immediately have sufficient funds. Wouldn't it be redundant to inject capital now?"
Mo Zhexuan immediately chose to object and met Henry Keswick's eyes unwilling to be outdone.
This time we must not be led by the nose, as that will only increase the other party's influence in China Gas Company.
"I don't agree either. Mo Sheng's idea is also my idea. Since we can immediately obtain a large amount of funds through share expansion, why bother to inject capital?"
Li Jiajie also immediately objected. Although the two did not reach a consensus, they had already tacitly agreed to fight against Jardine Matheson.
The three of them then engaged in a heated debate. No matter what proposal Henry Keswick put forward, Mo Zhexuan and Li Jiajie would stick together and raise objections.
Especially the nomination of board seats, which was a fierce dispute and no one would give in. In the end, each party nominated two directors, which was the perfect solution.
As soon as the shareholders' meeting ended, Henry Keswick looked at Mo Zhexuan with a fierce look, then said to Li Jiajie with a smile:
"Mr. Li! I'm so sorry I didn't get to meet Mr. Lee Shau-kee today. Tomorrow I'd like to go to Henderson Land Development's headquarters in person to discuss the future of China Gas with him."
"No problem, Mr. Henry! My father will be waiting for you at the Henderson Land Development Building."
Li Jiajie naturally knew that this was embarrassing Mo Zhexuan, but he had no reason to refuse. The world is bustling with people because of profit, and it has been like this for thousands of years.
