其实李嘉诚，打心眼里他还是想要卖的。 5月12号深夜长和发布了公告原本计划在5月22日股东周年大会上，就港口交易进行回应，但鉴于当下的形势，提前做出了回应，而此交易 绝不可能在任何不合法，或者不合规的情况下进行，公告中还强调交易是否完成，它取决于一系列的条件，包括法律和监管部门的同意以 及批准，以及获得公司股东们的必要批准，等等等等，要说起声明，说要表达的意思也非常的简单，那就是我想卖，但是监管不允许。 选择在深夜发表声明，其实有他们长和的算计，而声明措辞，明显比以前他们的张狂的态度，软化了很多，他现在这么做，其实有三层的 用意，首先就是要制造舆论，一旦卖不成的话，也有理由向股东做个交代。第二，他声明和强调长和，是严格的遵守相关的法律和审查， 一来要向外界表明，长和是老老实实的做合法生意，二来也是向政府监管部门，服软的一种表现。除了上述两点，其实长和还暗藏着一 层，就是利用舆论达到目的，然后舆论一起来，那就能够形成对社会的压力，这社会压力一起来，就有可能，最终促成他们出卖港口的交 易。 长实集团港口交易的声明，它揭开了商业交易和地缘政治，国家战略相互交织的一种复杂局面，他最终的走向，不仅关乎着长和集团的未 来 ...
