People in Hong Kong create super chaebols

After receiving the invitation, Su Cheng went straight to the appointment.

He was already familiar with the Governor's Mansion.

During the time of Mai Lihao, he would come here almost every once in a while, and most of the time it was Mai Lihao who invited him over.

Almost all the foreign staff here know him, and each of them lowers their proud head when they see him.

So, when he walked into the Governor's Mansion, he came to Youde's office without any staff leading him.

"Mr. Su, thank you for your help." Youde went straight to the office door to greet Su Cheng, shaking hands with him and saying with a smile.

"It's not a problem. I have nothing to do." Su Cheng said with a smile.

So, the two of them came to the sofa and sat down.

"Mr. Governor, I wonder what you want to talk to me about?" Su Cheng asked directly without any further greetings.

"Mr. Su, I have been entrusted by someone who hopes that you can sell the Jardine Matheson Group. I am caught in the middle and it is actually quite difficult to do so, so I would like to mediate the relationship between you. I have already understood your affairs. I heard that Mr. Su wants to sell his shares in the Jardine Matheson Group for 30 billion. This is a bit unrealistic, so I hope Mr. Su can give me some face and we can each make concessions and reach an agreement on this matter in a friendly manner." Youde said with a wry smile.

He was also unwilling to take on this difficult task. After all, who wouldn't take Su Cheng's identity seriously? Taking on this job would mean offending Su Cheng.

But he couldn't afford to offend the other person, so Youde could only try his best to mediate in the hope of not offending both parties.

After hearing what Youde said, Su Cheng guessed who the person behind the scenes was that Youde was talking about.

This person certainly couldn't be Simon Keswick. Today, Keswick was just a powerful family in the UK. It wouldn't be enough to make things difficult for a provincial governor like Youde.

Through intelligence, Su Cheng already knew that the Rothschild family was behind them this time.

Therefore, if nothing unexpected happens, Youde must have been commissioned by the Rothschild family to come forward to discuss this matter with Su Cheng.

After all, the Rothschild family is one of the most powerful financial groups in the world and is so powerful that even Youde has to give him face.

After thinking these things through, Su Cheng did not show any embarrassment.

After all, to be honest, he is not really afraid of the Rothschild family.

If you make him angry, he will not give in to you.

However, Youde still has to give some face, after all, his territory is in Hong Kong.

However, it did not prevent him from taking the opportunity to make money.

Since they are so optimistic about the Jardine Group and have tried again and again to take it back after it was snatched away by Su Cheng, then let's give them the opportunity to take it back.

However, money must be earned.

What he likes most is the Hong Kong Land Development, which is now completely in his hands. As for the Jardine Matheson Group? There is not much worth his attention.

Property? Not as much as land.

Channels? Not as strong as those under Suzhou.

International? This is even funnier.

He took over the Jardine Matheson Group just by chance.

Who made the Jardine Matheson Group and the Landmark Group make the decision to hold shares with each other?

In Su Cheng's view, this matter is simply a huge loophole.

Since they were so generous, Su Cheng naturally took it without hesitation.

Seeing that Su Cheng was silent, Governor Youde did not urge him.

He actually didn't want to take on this job at all, but there was nothing he could do as he had no choice when he was in the world.

"Mr. Governor, since you have come forward, I have to give you face. How about this, I will give you face and directly reduce the amount by HK$50 billion, and let them raise HK$250 billion. I will give them all the shares of Jardine Matheson Group that I have!" Su Cheng said with a smile.

In fact, he also knew that the price was still too high.

However, it is definitely impossible for Su Cheng to directly lower the price to his own psychological price.

Sure enough, after hearing this, Governor Youde still looked helpless.

A reduction of 5 billion Hong Kong dollars at once seems like a lot and is very considerate.

But Youde also knew that Su Cheng was asking for too much, and the 300 billion yuan he had proposed was too exaggerated.

Even today's Jardine Matheson Group, after such a long period of growth, has a total market value of only over HK$30 billion.

Su Cheng asked for 49.99 billion Hong Kong dollars, but he only held 600% of the shares, which meant that he directly increased the market value of Jardine Matheson Group to as much as billion Hong Kong dollars.

This is already considered a random price, everyone is in the middle or lower level.

Therefore, even if the price is reduced by HK$50 billion, the market value of Jardine Matheson Group is still calculated to be HK$500 billion.

Jardine Matheson is certainly not worth the price.

Having lost Wharf Holdings and Hong Kong Land Development successively, the value of Jardine Matheson Group has obviously been greatly reduced in Su Cheng's mind.

"Mr. Su, your price is still too high. When they entrusted me to find you, they actually gave you a maximum psychological price. They hope to purchase your shares at the market price.

Today, the total market value of Jardine Matheson is HK$326 billion, and you hold 49.99%, which means that they are willing to pay a maximum of HK$163 billion to acquire your shares. In fact, this share is already very high, after all, the increase in the Jardine Matheson Group has been too high during this period.

Currently, many listed real estate companies are suffering from the real estate crisis and their market value is falling. However, the shares of Jardine Matheson Group are rising because of your influence, Mr. Su. According to their investigation, the total market value of Jardine Matheson Group is actually only about HK$200 billion at most. "

Yude smiled bitterly and revealed the bottom line of those British financial groups.

What Youde said was actually the truth. In Su Cheng's eyes, the Jardine Matheson Group, which had lost the Jardine Matheson Group, was not even worth 20 billion Hong Kong dollars.

However, they wanted the Jardine Matheson Group so much, and kept trying to force him to sell it by putting pressure on the Governor's Office. In this situation, Su Cheng would not give up unless he made a lot of money from them.

"Mr. Governor, now they are begging me to sell, but I don't want to sell at all. They see the future prospects of the Jardine Matheson Group, and I, Su Cheng, also see the future prospects of the Jardine Matheson Group, so I don't want to negotiate with them at all. If it weren't for your face, Mr. Governor, I wouldn't want to talk about this matter at all. Therefore, I was reluctant to sell the Jardine Matheson Group. In this case, they still want to buy my shares at the market price. Do you think it's too much?

Just like when Mr. Bao Yugang acquired the Wharf Group, in order to acquire the Wharf Group, didn't Mr. Bao Yugang have to buy a lot of Wharf shares at HK$105 per share? They also forced him to do so. Now these people want to take back the Jardine Matheson Group, but they can't take it back so easily, right?

Moreover, my acquisition of the Jardine Matheson Group was legal and compliant, and I did not make any mistakes. In this case, Mr. Youde, do you think it is reasonable for me to make more money if I lose the Jardine Matheson Group? Otherwise, why should I give up the Jardine Matheson Group?
The future prospects of the Jardine Matheson Group are very good. If I keep it, it will create more benefits for me in the future. Isn't it better? In my opinion, the future Jardine Matheson Group will at least be a giant with a market value of 100 billion, but now it is only a few billion, far from reaching the peak! "Su Cheng said very straightforwardly.

Although he knew that Youde was only commissioned by someone, it was impossible for Su Cheng to easily agree to the other party just because of his identity as governor.

How could he miss such a good opportunity and not squeeze the funds of these British financial groups!
After Su Cheng finished speaking, Youde was silent for a long time. This time it was his turn to not know what to say.

Indeed, Su Cheng did not say anything wrong now.

In this matter, Su Cheng legally and compliantly acquired the controlling stake of Jardine Matheson Group, which was part of the business war.

It's because these British financial groups didn't notice that their stocks were being continuously absorbed. They can't blame anyone else at all.

In fact, Su Cheng also knew that 250 billion Hong Kong dollars was not realistic, and it was not his lowest psychological price. He just wanted the other party to give him more sincerity.

Talk, he can talk to them and give them a chance.

It depends on whether they are willing to spend the money!
It can be said that Su Cheng gave them face.

"Mr. Su, please sit here. I will tell the other party exactly what you said and see what decision they make. How about that?" Youde stood up and said to Su Cheng.

"Mr. Governor, please go ahead." Su Cheng said with a smile. He was not in a hurry and let them discuss it.

So You went to the office next door and called the UK.

After half an hour, Youde finally finished the call.

"Mr. Su, I have discussed with the other party's principal. They are very sincere and hope to make friends with Mr. Su. So they are willing to spend 200 billion Hong Kong dollars to acquire 49.9% of the shares of Jardine Matheson Group from Mr. Su. This is already very sincere. It is equivalent to the market value of Jardine Matheson Group being directly raised to 400 billion Hong Kong dollars." After Youde sat down on the sofa, he directly told them the final result given by the other side after he reported to them.

Su Cheng smiled and thought to himself, 20 billion Hong Kong dollars, this just hit his psychological expectations. He never expected that these British people were so financially strong that they would spend more than double the original price to bring the Jardine Matheson Group under their control.

Obviously, they have great confidence and expectations for the future prospects of the Jardine Matheson Group! However, for Su Cheng, all this is just a shrewd deal. After all, when he first acquired the shares of the Jardine Matheson Group, the funds he invested were only nearly 50 billion Hong Kong dollars. Now that he can sell it at such a high price, it is already a considerable return.

Among them, only a few billion Hong Kong dollars were spent in the early stage. In the later stage, in order to acquire the shares of Jardine Matheson Group, it had to buy the shares of Jardine Matheson Group from the Swire Group, which ended up spending more than 3 billion Hong Kong dollars.

However, the Jardine Matheson Group is actually his now. He holds half of the shares of Jardine Matheson, which is equivalent to his own person.

So, although it seemed that Su Cheng spent so much, in fact a lot of the money finally returned to him.

If you really count it, he only spent 20 to 30 billion Hong Kong dollars.

Therefore, after actually paying 200 to billion Hong Kong dollars, getting back billion Hong Kong dollars is simply a huge profit!

Seeing that Su Cheng didn't speak for a long time, Youde thought that Su Cheng was still unwilling to agree, and that he was insisting on the price of 250 billion, and a helpless expression suddenly appeared on his face.

Whether it was the Rothschild family or Su City, he actually didn't want to offend them.

He couldn't afford to offend either party.

So he was actually in a difficult situation.

Just as he was thinking about how to continue persuading Su Cheng, Su Cheng smiled and said, "I thought about it carefully and decided to give Mr. Governor a favor. I agree to the deal!"

Hearing Su Cheng's words, Youde immediately showed joy.

This time, he doesn't have to offend either side.

"Okay, okay, Mr. Su, I will convey your opinion to them immediately. Thank you very much for your understanding and support. It's an honor for you to have the face to negotiate with me." As Youde spoke, he stood up and politely bowed slightly to Su Cheng as a sign of respect.

However, Su Cheng quickly turned sideways to avoid this courtesy. He had his own plans in mind. He knew that although the governor was in a high position and had great power, his health condition was not optimistic. As far as he knew, Youde only had four years left to live.

Su Cheng expressed respect in his way, rather than formal submission.

"Governor, you are too polite. In the business world, what matters is mutual respect and understanding. I am honored to have your favor today. There is no need for formalities between us. Win-win cooperation is the right way." Su Cheng smiled.

The two sides smiled at each other, and they understood each other's positions and decisions tacitly without the need for further words.

Afterwards, Su Cheng ended his speech by saying, "Governor, we will say goodbye today and look forward to more opportunities for cooperation in the future," and bid farewell to Youde politely and gracefully.

As for the signing of the contract, it has nothing to do with Governor Yude.

Youde is just a lobbyist.

What they value is not the present of Jardine Matheson Group, but its future.

Now that he has completed this task, what happens next naturally has nothing to do with him.

When returning to Suzhou, Youde also reported the situation there to the Rothschild family.

After learning that Su Cheng had agreed to the deal, the leader there breathed a sigh of relief, but did not reveal even a hint of a smile.

After all, 200 billion Hong Kong dollars, the cost has increased greatly. Even the Rothschild family has suffered a huge loss this time.

This time, they lost a lot of money, and they must be mad as hell.

At the beginning, this group of British financial groups had already discussed it, and there was nothing they could do about it.

Moreover, they also feel that Jardine Matheson has very good prospects and if they take it over, the future development will definitely be very good.

This matter became much simpler after it was settled.

After that, Su Cheng received a reply quickly and the contract was signed three days later.

In other words, the 20 billion is basically no problem.

As for what these British financial groups think, Su Cheng can't care so much.

No matter how unwilling they are, it has nothing to do with Sucheng. (End of this chapter)
