Chapter 1092: Investing in Cathay Pacific

Last night, Su Cheng was fascinated by Ye Zimei's gentle embrace.

Ye Zimei does have a unique charm, and her every frown and smile seems to carry endless temptation.

Her beauty is not just about her appearance, but also about the charm that emanates from her bones.

It was a kind of charm that could make men fall for her, and Su Cheng was no exception.

For Su Cheng, the night seemed like a wonderful dream.

In this dream, there were only him and Ye Zimei, immersed in each other's world.

Although she had slept for a whole night, Ye Zimei's face still looked a little tired.

However, this fatigue did not diminish her beauty at all, but instead added a unique charm.

There was a hint of laziness in her eyes, but also an indescribable charm, which was very beautiful.

The slightly upturned corners of the mouth seemed to be telling of the sweetness and satisfaction of last night.

In the morning, sunlight shone into the room through the gaps in the curtains, waking up the two sleeping people.

Su Cheng slowly opened his eyes and looked at Ye Zimei lying in his arms. An inexplicable sense of satisfaction surged in his heart.

Ye Zimei also woke up at this time. She raised her head and looked at Su Cheng, her face turning red.

"Mr. Su, from now on I will belong to you alone!" Ye Zimei said solemnly.

This sentence is not only a promise, but also her deepest desire.

She knew that Su Cheng was an extraordinary person and it was her luck to be favored by him.

She was willing to give up everything for Su Cheng and be his woman alone.

Su Cheng smiled slightly when he heard Ye Zimei's words.

He gently stroked Ye Zimei's hair and said, "I will give Mr. Liang some advice and I will give you some good roles in the future."

Su Cheng knew that Ye Zimei was an ambitious woman.

She longed to achieve success in her acting career, and he had the ability to fulfill her wish.

Everything that happened last night made him very satisfied.

He had no plan to take Ye Zimei home.

There are already four women in the family, enough for a mahjong table.

He is not an emperor, it is impossible for him to accept all those who had that kind of relationship.

As for Ye Zimei's future, Su Cheng plans to let nature take its course.

Whether she becomes Su Cheng's lifelong lover or thinks it over and finds an honest man to marry, Su Cheng has no intention of interfering too much.

Everyone has their own choices, and he doesn't intend to force Ye Zimei to do anything she doesn't want to do.

He just hoped that until then, it would be enough to make him happy occasionally.

When the quilt was turned over, Ye Zimei's perfect figure was revealed to Su Cheng's eyes.

Her skin is as white as snow, her figure is well-proportioned, and every part of her exudes feminine charm.

Su Cheng couldn't help but sigh, what a stunning beauty.

This is the top floor and the highest point of Tseung Kwan O Center Building, so there is no need to worry about anyone peeping.

Here, they can enjoy their time to the fullest.

After having breakfast delivered, Su Cheng and Ye Zimei stayed in the big house until noon.

They ate breakfast and chatted, enjoying this rare quiet time.

In the process, Su Cheng discovered that Ye Zimei was not only a beautiful woman, she also had a smart mind and keen insight.

She has her own unique views on many things, which makes Su Cheng appreciate her even more.

At noon, Su Cheng and Ye Zimei had lunch upstairs.

The lunch was very sumptuous with a variety of delicious dishes and exquisite dim sum.

They were enjoying the delicious food and appreciating the beautiful scenery outside the window, feeling particularly happy.

After lunch, Su Cheng leisurely left the Tseung Kwan O Center Building and drove into the Tseung Kwan O Headquarters Base.

Daniel Harry, the president of Dali Logistics, called him in the morning and said he had something to discuss with him.

However, since he had a beautiful woman in his arms at that time, Su Cheng was naturally not in a hurry to deal with these things.

To him, things at work are small matters, but the good times are short-lived.

Therefore, he chose to enjoy the time with Ye Zimei first, and then deal with work matters when he was in a good mood.

Dali Logistics Company, this company was originally in Singapore, but was later acquired by Suzhou.

After the acquisition, the headquarters was moved to Hong Kong.

Dali Logistics Company can make a fortune simply by relying on the logistics and transportation of major industries under Su City, such as Su Group, Hutchison Whampoa Group, Tianqiong Semiconductor Company, etc.

Moreover, in recent years, Dali Logistics has gradually established its own reputation and has become a very well-known logistics company throughout Hong Kong, Southeast Asia, and even in Europe and the United States.

Many large companies are clients of Dali Logistics.

Therefore, if we measure the scale today, Dali Logistics is considered to be a top logistics company in the world.

It not only involves sea and land transportation, but also air transportation, and there are as many as fifty-six-five aircraft!

These planes transport all kinds of valuable goods around the world every day.

They are like a group of busy bees, bringing huge profits to Dali Logistics Company.

The success of Dali Logistics lies not only in its advanced equipment and efficient management team, but also in its ability to constantly adapt to market changes and meet customer needs.

When I arrived at Daniel Harry's office, the foreigner was on the phone.

Seeing Su Cheng, Daniel Harry quickly ended the call, stood up, and greeted Su Cheng in not very standard Hong Kong dialect.

Most of the foreign senior executives of Hong Kong companies under Suzhou can speak Hong Kong dialect, such as Wery, Langdon, Moore, etc.

Even if they didn't know it before, they would learn it. The same is true for Daniel Harry.

After he came to Hong Kong a few years ago, in addition to managing the company, he also learned Hong Kong dialect whenever he had time. In this city where Hong Kong dialect is the main language, it is natural that he is eager to learn.

So, after a few years, Daniel Harry not only learned to understand Hong Kong dialect, but could also converse in it, but not in a standard way.

Su Cheng nodded and said with a smile: "Mr. Daniel, what do you want to see me for?"

His tone was relaxed, with a faint smile on his face. He knew that Daniel Harry must have something important to talk to him about.

However, he is not in a hurry, he believes Daniel Harry will make things clear.

"Boss, do you know about the establishment of Dragonair?" Daniel asked.

"Of course, that's a big deal, how could I not know about it?" Su Cheng said with a smile.

Two months ago, Hong Kong Dragon Airlines was established, jointly established by more than 30 Hong Kong business leaders including Bao Yugang and Li Jiacheng, as well as Chinese-funded institutions in the mainland.

At that time, Su Cheng was actually invited, but he was not very interested because he knew that Dragonair was doomed to fail.

After all, even though everyone knows that Hong Kong will soon return to the motherland, before the return, the Governor's Office will still have the final say.

Therefore, Dragonair cannot compete with the original old airline Cathay Pacific Airways.

However, he also selectively invested HK$1 million in his own name, which can be considered as being sociable.

Afterwards, he no longer paid attention to the affairs of Dragonair.

For Su Cheng, this one million Hong Kong dollars was just a waste of money, and he never considered whether he could get his money back.

Of course, he doesn't care about this little money.

As expected, Hong Kong Dragon Airlines, which was established more than two months ago, is now being targeted by the Hong Kong government.

The most amazing thing is that the Hong Kong government has also issued an aviation regulation that each route can only be operated by one airline.

The good routes have basically been occupied by Cathay Pacific Airways, and Dragonair is forced to operate those unpopular routes.

If it is not popular, it means less customer flow, and less customer flow means you are bound to lose money!
Therefore, Dragonair is destined to have a tragic ending.

Su Cheng seldom paid attention to the affairs of Dragonair. To him, the important thing was just to participate.

Because he knew that even if he wanted to rely on funds to set up Dragonair, he would not be able to succeed.

Instead of this, it’s better to ignore it.

"The boss of Jardine Matheson called me and asked if our Dali Logistics Company was interested in investing in Cathay Pacific Airways," Daniel Harry continued.

There was a hint of excitement in his voice, as if the news was very important to him.

"Huh?" Su Cheng felt a little strange when he heard Daniel's words.

Logically, Shi Yueke should have called him, but he unexpectedly called his subordinate.

"It's like this. Although Cathay Pacific has the support of the Hong Kong government, it is also under pressure from Dragonair. Our Dali Logistics' aviation business is actually stronger than Cathay Pacific's, but we only transport goods, while they only transport people.

So Shi Yueke considered that if we invested, they would not only be able to fight against the new competitor Dragonair, but also improve the strength of Cathay Pacific. They know that you, the boss, are not interested in Dragonair, so they came up with the idea of ​​​​pulling us to form a united front with them to fight against Dragonair.

We have a large number of large passenger aircraft, and they hope to rent our aircraft during busy periods. He wants me to report this to you and explain the benefits." Daniel Harry reported.

Su Cheng listened quietly to Daniel Harry's report and began to think about the pros and cons of this matter.

Cathay Pacific Airways is an important company under the Jardine Matheson Group.

It has always occupied an important position in Hong Kong's aviation market.

If Dali Logistics can invest in Cathay Pacific Airways, it will undoubtedly bring great benefits to the company's development.

However, this also means that there are some risks.

After all, Swire has always been very cautious and they will not give up their shares easily.

This time, Shi Yueke took the initiative to propose that Dali Logistics Company invest, and he must have his considerations behind it.

"How many shares do they plan to sell?" Su Cheng asked with a smile. His eyes flashed with wisdom, as if he had seen through Shi Yueke's thoughts.

"At present, they are willing to offer 30% of the shares, allowing us to raise HK$10 billion," Daniel Harry reported.

HK$10 billion is not expensive.

After the growth in the past few years, there are already many listed companies with a market value of more than HK$10 billion in the Hong Kong stock market. It is no longer a rare era as it was a few years ago when a company with a market value of HK$10 billion was rare.

So, based on this price, Cathay Pacific Airways is valued at more than 3 billion Hong Kong dollars, which is really not much.

However, Cathay Pacific Airways is not yet a listed company and is still a wholly-owned subsidiary of Swire Pacific.

Therefore, its valuation is uncertain.

Anyway, if the valuation is more than 3 billion Hong Kong dollars, it is definitely not high.

This price is quite reasonable.

What Su Cheng didn't expect was that Shi Yueke was willing to give up 30% of his shares?
You know, the reason why Swire Group has not allowed Cathay Pacific to go public is that it is afraid that Cathay Pacific will be targeted by Chinese companies after it goes public.

The collapse of major British banks such as Hutchison Whampoa, Wheelock and Wharf Holdings increased the vigilance of Swire Group.

"Mr. Daniel, do you think that if we agree to invest this time, will we have a chance to take over this airline in the future?" Su Cheng asked with a smile.

Su Cheng was naturally unwilling to be just a shareholder. If he wanted to be one, he would rather be the controlling shareholder.

However, it is now clear that this idea is difficult to achieve.

I just don’t know if there will be a chance to realize it in the future.

As Hong Kong develops faster and faster, the passenger traffic of Asia Pacific Airlines is increasing dramatically every year. It can be said that this airline will make a lot of money in the future.

If you can control it, you can make a lot of money.

However, it is quite difficult to control it.

In the past, even the country was unable to take control of it, let alone Su City.

"I don't know about that. Who can predict the future? But no matter what, with Cathay Pacific's current profits, it is actually a very cost-effective thing for us to buy shares. It's just the dividends. According to the current growth rate, maybe we can get our money back in a few years, and still hold shares then!" Daniel said with a smile.

Su Cheng nodded, he knew what Daniel said made sense.

Given Cathay Pacific's current development momentum, investing in it is indeed a good choice.

However, he also cannot ignore the possible risks.

What if I invest in Cathay Pacific Airways and encounter misunderstandings from Chinese companies?
After all, in this special period, any action may cause unnecessary trouble.

"What I'm worried about is that if I buy shares in Cathay Pacific Airways, Chinese companies will misunderstand me," Su Cheng said a little worriedly.

"It's good to make this point clear. With Mr. Su's current status, he doesn't need to care too much about other people's feelings when doing things. What's more, this kind of thing is actually nothing. In the future, if they want, you can sell them shares in Cathay Pacific Airways. This will also be a great achievement!" Daniel laughed.

Su Cheng fell into deep thought.

He knew that what Daniel said made sense.

With his current status and influence, he really doesn't need to care too much about what others think. (End of this chapter)
