Chapter 348 Vice Chairman of the Board of Directors of Wharf

In fact, even in his previous life, Su Cheng had heard of Wu Guangzheng.

Wu Guangzheng can be said to be the most talented among the four sons-in-law of the chartering king.

Because of this, he later inherited the real estate business of the chartering king. Several real estate companies such as Wheelock and Wharf were put under Wu Guangzheng's name, and he inherited the most assets.

Of course, now he is just the son-in-law of the Bao family, and is still being trained as a chartering king, but he is not yet the head of the Xiangjiang Wu family consortium in later generations.

The three of them walked into the Wharf headquarters building while chatting. At this time, the lobby on the first floor was basically decorated.

In the center, a press conference stage was set up, and a very large poster was posted on the background wall of the stage, which read Wharf Group Press Conference.

When the Charter King took over Wharf, he also set up such a press conference stage.

However, today's protagonist has changed from the charter king to Su Cheng.

The media reporters arrived one after another before 9:[-].

And a group of invited big guys also arrived one after another after 9:[-].

At 9:50, the last guest, Governor MacLehose, also arrived in person.

As today's protagonists, Su Cheng and the Charter King greeted every big boss with smiles on their faces.

All the bosses have known for a long time that today’s protagonist is Su Cheng.

However, those media reporters did not know this matter.

Therefore, it was not surprising for them to see Su Cheng here. After all, so many bigwigs from Xiangjiang were here.

However, Su Cheng actually greeted the big bosses as the master, which puzzled everyone.

Moreover, another major shareholder of Wharf, Tie Bijian, a representative of Jardine Maison, was not present.

This is a bit abnormal.

Some reporters began to speculate, and the rest were talking.

Many people have even guessed the truth.

Could it be that the world's richest man has already bought up the Wharf stocks of Jardine Matheson Group and Land Group?

However, there is no need to speculate now, because the press conference is about to begin, and the truth will naturally be announced by then.

These media reporters could only be patient, standing or squatting in the media area, waiting for the press conference to begin.

In front of these big bosses, these media reporters also have to keep a low profile.

Because basically they couldn't afford to offend the big guys present.

If he offends any big boss, not to mention himself, even the media company behind him may be implicated.

Therefore, when major media companies send reporters over, they all tacitly instruct their subordinates to keep a low profile when going to the Wharf Group Building, ask questions when they should be asked, don't make trouble, and don't mess with any big bosses. I'm not happy!
After the boat charter king invited all the big guys to sit in the guest seats, it was already ten o'clock in the morning.Charter King, Su Cheng, Wu Guangzheng, and other Wharf executives all took their seats at the press conference.

"First of all, on behalf of the Wharf Group, I would like to express my warm welcome and sincere thanks to everyone for attending this press conference! Special thanks to our Governor-General Mr. Maliho, Mr. Shen Bi, Mr. Li Zhaoji, Mr. Huo Yingdong, Mr. Zheng Yutong, Mr. Guo Desheng, Mr. Shi York... took the time to attend our press conference when they were busy at work. On behalf of the Wharf Group, I would like to express my gratitude to you all." As the Wharf Group's chief executive, the Charter King will attend today's press conference. The presiding officer delivered a speech.

"You must be curious, why do we hold such a press conference today? Now, I will announce the reason for holding today's press conference.

After friendly negotiations between Jardine Matheson Group and Mr. Su Cheng, Jardine Matheson Group and Land Group decided to sell all 29.87% of the company's Wharf shares to Mr. Su Cheng. This transaction was completed yesterday.

In other words, Sioux City, chairman of So Group and Taipan of Hutchison Whampoa Group, will officially become the second largest shareholder of Wharf Group.

At the same time, I am here to announce that Mr. Su Cheng will serve as Vice Chairman of the Board of Directors of Wharf Group, effective immediately.

Finally, on behalf of the Wharf Group, I would like to welcome Mr. Su Cheng to join this big family and become a part of the Wharf Group. In the days to come, I hope that we can work together and make Wharf's future more brilliant! "

The Charter King spoke with a strong sense of leadership. When he spoke, even though everyone was very surprised, no sound was made at the scene.

It wasn't until the charter king finished speaking that the market burst into thunderous applause.

At the scene, in addition to hundreds of media reporters and political and business leaders, more than 300 Wharf headquarters employees participated in the press conference.

So the applause was very loud.

It was not until a few minutes later that the applause gradually weakened under the restraint of the charter boat king.

For these hundreds of media reporters, this is very big news.

Unexpectedly, such explosive news would appear today.

You know, some time ago, the whole world was in the news of Suzhou City. Only a few days later, Suzhou City made another big move and became the second largest shareholder of Wharf.

More than half a year ago, Sioux City held a lot of Wharf stocks, and at that time announced to the media that it planned to acquire Wharf.

It was not until later that everyone discovered that Sioux City's purpose was not Wharf at all, but another British-owned company, Hutchison Whampoa Group.

Charter King and Sioux City, the two big guys took down two large British-owned companies with a long history one after another. It has always been a good story for the Chinese in Hong Kong.

Unexpectedly, the two of them have now joined forces and become shareholders of Wharf.

As for the vice chairman of the board of directors, Su Cheng understands the charter king's thoughts.

Nowadays, Wharf is completely under the control of the chartering king. He basically has the final say on the entire board of directors, so there is no need to hold a board meeting. The chartering king can make the decision, and he can only make up the process afterwards.

Giving Su Cheng the position of vice chairman, which means second in command, actually means that Su Cheng will not get involved in Wharf affairs at all. In other words, this position is just a false position and has no impact on the charter king. big.

Previously, this position was held by Twisted Bijian after the charter king took over Wharf. Now that Sioux City has taken over the stocks of Jardine Matheson and Land, it is normal for him to inherit this position.

Su Cheng stood up, smiled and said to everyone: "Thank you everyone for coming to this press conference. I won't say more. As a member of Wharf, I am very honored to be able to become a member of the Wharf with Mr. Bao. As a shareholder of Wharf Group, Wharf is a company with great development prospects, which is why I took over Wharf shares. Finally, I wish Wharf will develop better and better."
