People in Hong Kong create super chaebols

Chapter 75 Hong Kong Super Tycoon
"Everyone, please be quiet and raise your hands one by one. Whoever I point to will ask a question, otherwise this press conference will not have to continue." At this time, Su Cheng came out and said.

Suddenly, the scene became quiet, and all the reporters rushed to raise their hands.

"Oriental Daily reporter, you ask first." Su Cheng pointed to the position of the Oriental Daily reporter and said with a smile.

Even though this was the first time that Su Cheng had appeared in front of so many media reporters, he was not panicked at all. As a super rich man, he was very confident and calm in the face of such a small scene.

The Oriental Daily reporter who was called was extremely excited and immediately asked the question he wanted to ask: "Excuse me, Mr. Su, how did you acquire so many shares of Hutchison Whampoa? Is there any inside story?"

"Actually, it's very simple. Most of these stocks were sold to me by other shareholders of Hutchison Whampoa, and a small part were acquired by me on the stock market. There is no big inside story. Next, let's ask the TVB reporter. "Su Cheng replied simply.

"Mr. Su, can you talk about your source of funds?" TVB reporter directly asked a very sharp question. This kind of question involves personal privacy. In fact, Su Cheng does not need to answer.

"What is the source of funds? I think everyone wants to know, so I'll give you a brief summary here. My funds actually mainly come from investment. Everyone must also know that I have another identity, that is, the boss of the Su Group. I have When I was 17 years old, my dad gave me a start-up capital, and I began to learn how to invest. Over the years, in Europe, Japan, North America, and Australia, my investment has been successful. If anyone is interested, check it out. If so, it can be found out that my funds basically come from overseas. Next, let Mingpao reporters ask questions." Su Cheng answered calmly.

In fact, except for the special sources of funds obtained for the 1974 and 1978 World Cups, the funds obtained in the past were all obtained from legitimate sources. Even if they checked, they could only admire Sioux City's talent for investment. .

"Hello Mr. Su, how do you feel about taking on the role of chairman of the board of directors of Hutchison Whampoa and becoming the first Chinese executive to take over a major British bank?" a reporter from Ming Pao asked directly.

"This is my honor. Next, a BBC reporter will ask a question." Su Cheng said modestly.

"Mr. Su, as far as I know, you have just returned from London. What is the purpose of your visit to London this time?" the BBC reporter asked.

"I went to London this time, naturally, for investment. This time I invested hundreds of millions of Hong Kong dollars in London. I am very optimistic about the development prospects of Europe. I am the next AFP reporter."

"What does Mr. Su think of British-funded enterprises and Chinese-owned enterprises in Hong Kong? Who will be more powerful in the future?"

……

After answering questions, the time soon came to 11 o'clock in the morning. Su Cheng looked at his watch and said directly: "Today's questions are here first, I will leave first. If you have any questions, you can ask our Hutchison Whampoa Goodbye CEO Mr. Wei Li!"

Showing your face is enough. This press conference is held to announce Hutchison Whampoa's changes to the outside world and to increase its influence.

Su Cheng did not leave the Hutchison Whampoa headquarters building, but came to the Hutchison Whampoa executive office. As Hutchison Whampoa's executive office, he would naturally have his private office here in the future.

Wei Li had no interest in dealing with these reporters. Less than 10 minutes after Su Cheng left, he announced the end of the press conference.

Reporters from all major media are rushing back to the company to rush for press releases. Today is destined to become a very important moment in the history of Hong Kong.

At noon, Su Cheng and Wei Li talked a lot about Hutchison Whampoa's future development plans.

Although he has no intention of intervening in Hutchison Whampoa's management, he still needs to mention some things that should be mentioned so that Hutchison Whampoa can embark on a faster development track.

Su Cheng talked about some of the development trends Xiao Ai gave him, such as the role of computer development in the future of mankind, the importance of logistics, the importance of the real estate industry, etc.

At first, Wei Li looked down upon Su Cheng, thinking that he only relied on spending money to win Hutchison.

However, as the two of them communicated in depth, Wei Li's eyes when he looked at Su Cheng changed from dull to surprised to recognition.Perhaps, with such a boss, Hutchison Whampoa can really become the world's top company in the future, and if I follow such a boss, I will not have no chance of becoming a world-famous professional manager!

No wonder the boss in front of him was able to build such a large asset at such a young age. He is indeed a real man.

In the evening, Shen Bi, Charter King, Zheng Yutong, Huo Yingdong and others called Su City one after another.

The big Chinese people all called to congratulate. After all, this also represents the rise of Chinese businessmen.

As for Shen Bi, while congratulating him, he also hoped to have a private conversation with Su Cheng again.

Starting that evening, TVB Jade Channel, Li's TV Station, and Jiayi TV Station respectively broadcast news about Sioux City's appointment as Hutchison Whampoa's head office and Hutchison Whampoa's privatization.

Some radio stations, newspapers and periodicals also successively reported the contents of the press conference.

In this era of lack of entertainment, television, radio, and newspapers are almost the most channels through which people learn about the outside world.

Therefore, what happened in Hutchison Whampoa soon spread throughout Hong Kong and even overseas.

Sin Chew Evening News reported: Taking over a major British-funded bank and becoming the first British-funded company executive is the rise of Chinese-funded consortiums and the decline of British-funded companies!

Oriental Evening News: Sioux City's acquisition of Hutchison Whampoa, and the Wharf War between the Charter King and Jardine Matheson, represent the catching-up between Chinese-funded enterprises and British-owned enterprises.

BBC: In recent months, Chinese consortiums represented by shipping giant Charter King and emerging giant Sioux City have scored successively in major mergers and reorganizations in Hong Kong's business community, making British companies in Hong Kong feel nervous.

The Times: We are wary of the rise of Chinese-funded enterprises. How should British-funded enterprises reflect on this?
Singapore Lianhe Zaobao: A super-rich Chinese man who has soared to the sky at the age of only 22 and takes charge of the British-owned Hutchison Whampoa!
TVB Jade Channel: The privatization of Hutchison Whampoa represents the Chinese bosses’ confidence in Hong Kong’s business environment.

……

Whether it's bad-mouthing or praising, in short, Sioux City is completely popular.

At the age of 22, he has become one of the most powerful tycoons in Hong Kong. Many media even compare him to the charter king.

Many young people in Xiangjiang regard Su Cheng as their idol and look forward to being as successful as Su Cheng in the future.

Haojiang, Wanwan, Singapore and other areas dominated by Chinese people have also gathered for days to follow and report on Sioux City's acquisition of Hutchison Whampoa.

Even overseas cities such as London, San Francisco, and New York received rare reports from Sioux City. His influence began to spread from Hong Kong to the world.

This is also the first time Su Cheng has officially become a public figure.

Just for the first time, he achieved a prestige that many businessmen have never achieved in their lives.
