Bo Wenxi also said that after the loan claims, the receipt party generally does not take tough asset disposal measures, but will obtain the project through negotiation transfer; although this does not have problems at the legal level, but at the commercial level, it is at the commercial level, but it is not a problem at the legal level.The ethical level is obviously inappropriate, and business operations are suspected of "taking advantage of people."

From the media "Yi Jian Finance", from the industry's opinion, this may be that Li Jiacheng will take the next signal of investment in mainland China as the key investment.
Sell British and European assets?
In fact, Hutchison Huangpu, a subsidiary of Li Ka -shing, participated in a land auction in Guangzhou in May last year.Although the land failed to compete, this was the land auction of the mainland market again in the mainland market for nearly 10 years.
At that time, this move triggered the speculation of Li Ka -shing's return to the mainland market. The main reason was that its groups frequently sold assets in Europe and the United Kingdom, including £ 1.21 billion (about S $ 2.1 billion) to sell London in London, UKClass Commercial Building 5 BroadGate, and at the price of 10 billion euros (about S $ 14.8 billion), it sold European wirelessLaunch tower business and so on.

"Some netizens said:" This can't help but think of the Li family who has sold many mainland and Hong Kong assets in the past 10 years. Is Li Ka -shing going back? "
In this regard, the securities analyst interviewed by the Finance News Agency said that this should be Li Ka -shing's re -expanded asset optimization allocation according to the global situation.First Financial also quoted analysts that the British depreciation after Brexit, coupled with the impact of the epidemic, the shrinking of the British economy, the tightening of monetary policies, and politicians to advocate that the public utilization was collected by state -owned state -owned.The prospect is covered with haze, which may promote Li Ka -shing to sell these assets.
The chairman of the Changshi Group Li Zezheng personally explained that the most important consideration is the quality, stability and return rate of investment projects.Essence
Li Zezheng made the above response when asked if he continued to sell the British project in March of this year.He emphasized that as a global company, the Changhe Department never chose to invest, but to choose a project. "The most important thing for shareholders is to make money back."
Bloomberg reported in March that Changhe's profits increased by about 10%in 2022, exceeding analyst expectations, because diversified global investment portfolios and major transactions helped the company offset the crown disease epidemic in mainland China, the downturn in European economic downturnAnd adverse factors such as currency fluctuations.More than half of the income from half of long and more comes from Europe and about 20%from the mainland.
Gradually withdraw the capital
Li Ka -shing started with a plastic flower factory in 1950, and was later promoted by the booming economy of the mainland. In the end, it created a business empire of business cross -border. Changhe is the flagship enterprise.And telecommunications and so on.
In 2013, with the increasing uncertainty of the real estate market, Li Jiacheng's company began to sell assets on the mainland and Hong Kong.
BBC (BBC) Chinese website reported that from 2013 to 2017, the mainland and Hong Kong assets sold by the Li Ka -shing family exceeded HK $ 170 billion.Most of these funds are used to acquire companies in Britain, Portugal, Germany and other places.
At that time, many public opinion in the mainland believed that Li Ka -shing was withdrawing from the mainland market, reflecting his lack of confidence in the Chinese economy.
In 2015, the "Watch Think Tank" of Xinhua News Agency published an article titled by Li Jiacheng that Li Jiacheng said that the reason why Li Ka -shing can earn wealth from the real estate industry mainly depends on "getting close to power".A thorough market economy, "I'm afraid it is not advisable to leave."
The article also said that the real economy of the mainland requires a lot of capital to enter. The rich in Hong Kong must contribute to the national economic revival, "not withdrawn without a lot of money."
Li Ka -shing issued a three -page statement response, saying that he would not withdraw from China.He also quoted the poet of the Tang Dynasty poet Bai Juyi's poem, "I have no hometown, and my heart is safe."
Now looking back, Li Jiacheng not only did not leave Hong Kong, but also did not leave the mainland.There is no border of capital, and capital protection is the only attribute of capital.In the context of the global and even Chinese economy, Li Ka -shing, as a "Li Chao" who has been in the vertical shopping mall for many years, where the capital flows is not directly related to a specific area or country, the return rate and stability behind the investment portfolio are the key.
