Although Zhang Jun has not yet announced the news of his acquisition of Hutchison Whampoa, the news has spread all over the city.

Jardine.

"What?! You said that Hutchison Whampoa Company was acquired by Zhang Jun?! How is it possible?!" Henry Keswick said in shock, he couldn't believe it at all, one of the four major foreign firms in Hong Kong that can stand shoulder to shoulder with Jardine Matheson How could Hutchison Whampoa be acquired by Zhang Jun?
"Chairman, this matter is being circulated by many people, it may be true!"

Henry Keswick frowned, picked up the phone, and called Qi Dezun.

The call was connected quickly.

Henry Keswick opened his mouth and asked: "Qi Dezun, I heard that Hutchison Whampoa was acquired by Zhang Jun? Is this true?"

Qi Dezun was silent for a while, gritted his teeth and said: "Yes, I have been kicked out, and Zhang Jun has become the chairman of Hutchison Whampoa Company!! However, if it was not betrayed by HSBC, how could my Qi Dezun family lose their peace? Remember Huangpu Company!"

At this time, Qi Dezun even hated HSBC even more than Zhang Jun.As an Englishman, Shen Bi actually helped a Chinese to deal with him!
Henry Keswick was astonished, the news turned out to be true!
He quickly asked Qi Dezun about the details of the company's loss.

Qi Dezun talked in detail, and finally he couldn't help reminding: "Zhang Jun is not a simple person, he has a huge appetite. Hutchison Whampoa may not be able to satisfy him, and maybe he will call attention to the Jardine Group!"

Henry Keswick twitched his mouth and made a sneer when he heard the words. The strength of Jardine is much stronger than that of Hutchison Whampoa, and the Keswick family has a great control over Jardine. The company will not be easily acquisition.

Henry Keswick did not believe that Zhang Jun still had the ability to acquire the Jardine Group.

As everyone knows, Zhang Jun has already secretly planned to acquire Wharf.It's just that Zhang Jun was very patient. In order not to attract the attention of the Keswick family, he planned to take several years to win the Wharf.

In the evening, journalists from major Hong Kong media flocked to the Peninsula Hotel.

The acquisition of Hutchison Whampoa, one of the four major foreign firms in Hong Kong, is definitely the biggest news in Hong Kong.

Everyone wants to get first-hand detailed information.

"Zhang Jun really gave us Chinese a lot of face. He actually bought Hutchison Whampoa, one of the four major foreign companies. Zhang Jun is definitely the No. 1 Chinese businessman in Hong Kong!!"

"That's right, Zhang Jun is really awesome! Most importantly, the acquisition of Hutchison Whampoa Company undoubtedly symbolizes the rise of Chinese businessmen, who will officially blow the horn of counterattack against the British capital that has been entrenched in Hong Kong for a century!!!"

"Yes, I also believe that the acquisition of Hutchison Whampoa is just the beginning, and there will be more Chinese businessmen acquiring British foreign firms in the future!"

"..."

All the reporters were discussing, and their tone couldn't help revealing the color of excitement and pride.

Not long after, Zhang Jun, Ma Shimin, Shen Bi and many senior executives from Hutchison Whampoa came to the hotel.

Zhang Jun maintained his usual style, walked to the stage, and said to everyone straight to the point: "Hello, reporters and guests, I am Zhang Jun, I think you should already know the news to be announced at this press conference. Yes , that’s right, I have acquired Hutchison Whampoa and became the chairman of the company’s board of directors!!!”

As soon as the voice fell, there was thunderous applause from the audience.

Among the invited guests, Huo Yingdong, Chartered Ship King, Li Jiacheng, Zheng Yutong and others had complex expressions, envious and jealous, but also excited and eager to try.

Since Zhang Jun was able to acquire the four major foreign firms, why couldn't he himself?

However, it is obvious that the Huo family was suppressed by the Hong Kong government and restricted the development of their real estate company. The rest of them also have the charter king who has the strength to wrestle with the British capital. However, the shipping industry is still very prosperous at this time, and the charter king has not thought about it Abandon ship ashore.

Li Jiacheng is still accumulating strength, so he can only hope to thrive.

Zhang Jun raised his hand to signal everyone to be quiet, and then began to tell everyone about the process of his acquisition of Hutchison Whampoa Company, revealing many details, including the share transfer agreement of HSBC Bank, and HSBC Bank also borrowed the money.Zhang Jun was a white wolf with empty hands and didn't spend a penny.

After listening to everyone in the audience, they were all shocked.

It turns out that the inner ghost who betrayed Qi Dezun's family was actually HSBC.

"Isn't the Qi Dezun family going to be pissed off? Not only did Zhang Jun buy the shares of Hutchison Whampoa from HSBC at a low price, but he was empty-handed and didn't spend any money, all relying on the loan from HSBC. I If it was Qi Dezun, he would definitely faint on the spot!"

"Haha, Zhang Jun is amazing, the white wolf with empty gloves is playing so well, the scalp of the handsome man is numb!!"

"I'm so convinced, Zhang Jun is simply the number one business talent in Hong Kong!"

"..."

Zhang Jun spoke for a few minutes, and then began to introduce Ma Shimin's identity to everyone, and then began to accept interviews with reporters.

The press conference ended in less than an hour.

However, the impact is not small.

The next day, the headlines on the front pages of major newspapers were all reporting on Zhang Jun's acquisition of Hutchison Whampoa.

Zhang Jun, as the first Chinese taipan in the four major British-funded foreign firms in the past 100 years, had the same scenery for a while.

Even, the world's major media are reporting on Zhang Jun one after another, promoting his reputation as a business genius.

In the Hong Kong stock market, the share price of Hutchison Whampoa immediately soared.

Shareholders had confidence in Zhang Jun and rushed to buy him one after another.

Of course, there were also people who were jealous and deliberately posted articles to discredit Zhang Jun in the newspaper.

The Qi Dezun family even directly bribed a number of well-known brokers and commentators to slander Zhang Jun in the newspaper.

"Zhang Jun's malicious acquisition of Hutchison Whampoa and driving away the Qi Dezun family will inevitably cause huge turmoil to Hutchison Whampoa in a short period of time. The future of the company is uncertain!!!"

At this moment, in the office of Hutchison Whampoa.

Zhang Jun chatted with Ma Shimin.

Ma Shimin pointed to a bunch of newspapers that slandered Zhang Jun, and said, "Boss, these newspapers should have the support of the Qi Dezun family..."

Zhang Jun chuckled and said, "The Qi Dezun family is just moaning helplessly..."

As several small shareholders sold their shares to Zhang Jun, Zhang Jun held 49.99% of the shares of Hutchison Whampoa.
