CLADA
CREDA 2017 12 BTC CREDAS 326-328 : KOWLOON-CANTON RAILWAY (KCR).
1. I SAW THE GOVERNOR TODAY. HE REMAINS ANXIOUS TO HAVE AN
INDICATION OF METCAM'S ABILITY TO REDUCE THEIR PRICE BY ABOUT
POUNDS STERLING EIGHT MILLION BY THE END OF THIS WEEK. DEFINITIVE
REPLY IS THEREFORE REQUIRED HERE BY 1001002.
2. POSSIBILITY OF THE REISSUE OF TENDER BIDS (OPTION C IN
CREDA 327) IS NOW STRONGER BECAUSE HONG KONG GOVERNMENT MAY NEED TO RESCHEDULE THEIR MAJOR DEVELOPMENT PROJECTS. BUT
WE MUST BE PREPARED TO INDICATE THE DIMENSIONS OF A POSSIBLE REDUCTION IN CASE IT IS DECIDED TO PROCEED ON THE BASIS OF
THE CURRENT OFFERS.
