People in Hong Kong create super chaebols

Chapter 63 Meeting Wei Li for the first time
At 6pm on June 26, Hong Kong time, a plane arrived over Hong Kong from a distance. After circling twice, it landed smoothly at Kai Tak Airport.

Walking off the ramp of the airport, Sioux City took a deep breath. Even the air was fresher than in London.

It’s better to go here, this is the Chinese world, familiar culture, familiar language, familiar food.

London, after all, is just a foreign world.

"Mr. Yang, you go and live at my house first, and then you can move there when you find a place to live." Su Cheng said with a smile.

"No need to trouble you, we and I can just stay in the hotel." Yang Chaoye shook his head and said.

Speaking of which, the two had only known each other for a few days.

"It's not troublesome. I'm actually the only one in my house. Mr. Yang can settle down first and take a good rest. When he's ready, he can then join the Su Group." Su Cheng laughed.

After all, he is a 60-year-old man, so he must be given a good rest.

"Since the boss has kindly invited me, it would be bad if I returned the invitation disrespectfully. Then I will trouble the boss." Yang Chaoye finally nodded in agreement.

There are many villas in Baijiadao, so Su Cheng doesn't care about giving them a room to live in temporarily.

Senior talents need to be treated with courtesy so that they can better help them make money!

After returning to the villa, Su Cheng asked the servant to arrange Yang Chaoye's room, then went to wash up and rest early.

The long journey was indeed very tiring. Looking at Zhong Chuhong, he was already exhausted and listless.

The next day, Su Cheng got up refreshed again. Today he did not go to the Su Group, but planned to go to the Tianyuan Building.

The current Su Group is just developing step by step as before. For the time being, there is nothing that requires his intervention.

But Tianyuan Company was different. During this period of time in the UK, Zhang Qizheng was arranged to do basically everything in Su City.

Now that I'm back, I naturally want to know about things over there.

Su Cheng did not take Zhong Chuhong with him, but took several bodyguards and went directly to Tianyuan Building.

It was a tiring journey, so let her rest more.

In the general manager's office of Tianyuan Building, Su Cheng saw Zhang Qizheng who was busy.

During his time in London, Sioux City arranged a lot of work tasks for Zhang Qizheng. Therefore, although the Wharf is no longer in charge and Hutchison Whampoa has entered a low-key period, Zhang Qizheng's work has not been idle.

"Boss, you are finally back." The moment he saw Su Cheng, Zhang Qizheng smiled.

"Thank you for your hard work during this time." Su Cheng said with a smile.

"That's right. By the way, boss, I just want to report to you what happened during this period:

1. Currently, we secretly control 49.3% of Hutchison Whampoa’s stock, which means that together with the 16.5% held by the boss, we control a total of 65.8% of Hutchison Whampoa’s stock, but there are not many stocks on the stock market. , if you want to continue the acquisition, it is best to approach other shareholders;
2. Hutchison Chairman Wei Li has always been afraid that we will interfere with Hutchison's affairs, so he has contacted me several times in private. However, since you, boss, have not come back yet, I have held off for the time being and have not given an accurate reply;
3. The acquisition of Cali Bank has been completed, and the final transaction was HK$1650 million. For this reason, I specially recruited a general manager from another well-run bank to temporarily manage Cali Bank;

4. The two oil companies have reached an agreement on the acquisition and can sign the contract at any time. "Well, you've done a good job, and you won't be short of year-end bonus." "Su Cheng nodded with satisfaction and said.

"Now that you're back, boss, would you like to go to Hutchison Whampoa? After all, that place is technically your property, boss." Zhang Qizheng said with a smile.

"Okay, let's go there then." Su Cheng nodded.

Now it controls 65.8% of Hutchison Whampoa, and is not far away from the conditions for 75% privatization.

Therefore, if you really want to privatize Hutchison Whampoa, it is necessary to secretly acquire more shares from several shareholders.

At present, the total market value of Hutchison Whampoa's stock market is around HK$20 billion, and the previous highest stock price of Hutchison Whampoa even reached a terrifying HK$72.43 billion.

That was in March 1973. Five years have passed in the blink of an eye, but Hutchison's share price has dropped by HK$3 billion.

Sioux City does not need to use the form of listing the company to arbitrage money in the stock market, so Hutchison Whampoa's delisting is very necessary.

Central, Hutchison Whampoa Headquarters.

Because they called in advance, when Su Cheng and Zhang Qizheng arrived, Wei Li was already waiting for them.

British-funded companies in Hong Kong like to locate their headquarters in Central, and Hutchison Whampoa is no exception, because building its headquarters in Central is closer to the Government House.

"Hello, Mr. Wei Li, this is my boss, Mr. Su Cheng." As soon as they met, Zhang Qizheng introduced Su Cheng to Wei Li.

The two had met before, but it was difficult for him to make a decision without Su Cheng around.

Weili looked at Su Cheng in surprise, he was too young.

"Hello, Mr. Su, please come to my office." Wei Li didn't say much. This is the lobby of Hutchison Whampoa's headquarters. It's very inconvenient to speak here.

As the head coach of Hutchison Whampoa, Wei Li has a very high prestige in the group. After all, he is able to turn a large company with serious losses into profit, so he certainly has a lot of ability.

After the three of them sat down, Wei Li couldn't wait to ask: "I wonder what Mr. Su thinks about Hutchison Whampoa?"

Weili is a capable person, otherwise Hutchison Whampoa would not be able to get better and better under his management. At this time, he is very worried that Su Cheng, the group's major shareholder, will come in and point fingers, which will disrupt his business plan. .

"Mr. Wei Li, please rest assured that I have no intention of getting too involved in Hutchison Whampoa. However, as a major shareholder of Hutchison Whampoa, all profits and losses of the group will involve my interests, so it is not too much for me to serve as the executive director of Hutchison Whampoa." Right?" Su Cheng said with a smile.

"Of course, Mr. Su's role as executive director is reasonable and compliant. I will convene the board of directors about this matter tomorrow, and Mr. Su can take up the post at that time." Wei Li heard that Su Cheng said that he would not interfere in too many things, and he felt responsible. Let it go for now.

Previously, Shen Bi served concurrently as the executive director of Hutchison Whampoa. After all, Shen Bi was the chief executive of Huifeng Bank, and Huifeng Bank was the majority shareholder of Hutchison Whampoa at that time. Now that Huifeng Bank has sold its shares to Sioux City, this The position was naturally inherited by Su Cheng.

At this time, Wei Li didn't know that Hutchison Whampoa was actually completely controlled by Su City. He thought that the Hutchison Whampoa stock in Su City's hands was only the 22.4% that Huifeng Bank sold to him.

"Chairman Wei has managed the group so well, so naturally I won't interfere. As the major shareholder of Hutchison Whampoa, how could I have trouble with money?" Su Cheng said with a smile.
