HONG KONG — Li Ka-shing, Asia’s richest man, is shaking up his corporate empire in an extensive reorganization. 香港——亚洲首富李嘉诚(Li Ka-shing)正在重组自己的企业帝国,对之进行大幅调整。 In a complex deal announced Friday after the Hong Kong stock market closed, Mr. Li’s flagship property company, Cheung Kong, said it would take over Hutchison Whampoa, his holding company for a network of global businesses including ports, utilities and retail stores. 周五香港股市收盘后,李嘉诚名下的旗舰房地产公司长江实业(Cheung Kong)宣布了一笔复杂的交易,表示将收购和记黄埔(Hutchison Whampoa)。李嘉诚旗下的控股企业和记黄埔下面有着港口、公用事业企业和零售店等一系列全球性资产。 If that first transaction is approved by shareholders, the enlarged group would then be split into two new companies. The first, CK Hutchison, would become the main holding company for all of Mr. Li’s nonproperty assets, which include ports, energy and utility businesses in Britain, Continental Europe and Australia, and a retail chain of thousands of health and beauty shops and supermarkets across Asia. 如果这第一步得到股东的批准,那么合并后的庞大集团将被分拆成两家新公司。其中一家是长和(CK Hutchison)。该公司将接管李嘉诚所有的非房地产资产,包括英国、欧洲大陆和澳大利亚的港口、能源和公用事业企业,以及由亚洲各地数千家以保健及美容为主题的店铺及超市组成的零售网络。 |
