People in Hong Kong create super chaebols

"Yes, there are. Several Chinese-funded consortiums have made bids before, but they were not sincere and the prices they gave were too low. I rejected them directly." John Madden said helplessly.

He also knows that, as Su Cheng said, the real estate industry in Xiangjiang is not very active now. Those with money are covering their pockets to prevent economic shock, while those without money are thinking of cashing out.

Su Cheng guessed that there was definitely a speculator named Li Ka-shing among them, and he would definitely be indispensable if there were bargains to be found.

"So, in my opinion, HK$18 billion is still higher than the current market price. Otherwise, how could it not be sold? The market price must be adapted to the market conditions. Everyone's bids are not high, which shows that The value of these two buildings is not worth the price. I am very sincere in wanting to buy them. It depends on your Wheelock Group's sincerity. Moreover, as long as the price is right, I can take out the money at any time, in cash. The transaction will not delay payment!" Su Cheng continued.

"I wonder what price Mr. Su can offer?" John Madden could only ask.

After being listed for such a long time, he also knew that it would be difficult to sell at the price of HK$18 billion.

However, he wanted to sell these two buildings to recirculate funds, and it was quite urgent.

Therefore, at this time, John Madden could only patiently negotiate the price with Sioux City.

"The relationship between Mr. John Madden and Mr. Bao should be relatively good, right?" Su Cheng did not discuss the price directly, but instead chatted with him about other things.

"Yes, Mr. Su, Mr. Bao and I have a good relationship. Although we are business competitors, the shipping market in Hong Kong is so big, so we are only competing in a healthy way, not in a disgusting way!" John Madden nodded. said.

"Mr. Bao's Global Shipping Group recently contacted my Dali Logistics Company. They plan to sell a batch of second-hand cargo ships and oil tankers again in the near future, with a value of about 20 billion Hong Kong dollars. Some time ago, we have purchased them from Global Shipping Group A group of second-hand boats are very cost-effective, and the prices of recently sold boats are also very attractive.

I have been considering whether to buy these second-hand cargo ships recently. Mr. Bao is a very good friend of mine, and I believe he will not cheat me. However, I have learned in the past few days that Wheelock Group plans to sell the Federal Building, and I I'm starting to get confused. I'm thinking about whether it's better to buy a ship from Global Shipping Group or a property from Wheelock?

I came here this time actually to see what suitable price you can offer. If it is suitable, I would still prefer to buy the building, and Dali Logistics Company can develop slowly.

If the price is not right, then I can only buy these second-hand ships from Global Shipping Group. Mr. Bao is now focusing on Wharf and ignoring the development of Global Shipping Group. I think it is a good opportunity for me to develop the shipping industry. . "Su Cheng talked in circles, whether it was true or false, regardless of whether John Madden believed it or not.

Because Sioux City knew that John Madden must also know that his Dali Logistics Company acquired a batch of second-hand ships some time ago.

Although the amount acquired some time ago was not large and the value was only about 100 million Hong Kong dollars, with the support of Sioux City, Dali Logistics may not have no chance of rising.

At this time, John Madden was a little surprised after hearing Su Cheng's words.

He did not expect that Su City, like Wheelock, would also like the ships of the Global Shipping Group.

John Madden is very familiar with Hong Kong's shipping industry. After all, shipping is the main business of Wheelock Group.

As one of the world's shipping centers, Xiangjiang has many shipping companies, large and small, or even hundreds. Many of them are not headquartered in Xiangjiang, but are just branches in Xiangjiang.

So, although the shipping industry here is very developed, the competition is also very fierce.

Therefore, he also knew about Sioux City's acquisition of a Singapore-based logistics company, Dali Logistics.

After acquiring Dali Logistics Company, this logistics company also began to develop in Xiangjiang.

Especially after purchasing a batch of ships from Global Shipping Group, Dali Logistics' ships began to run around the world.

In the final analysis, it is because the transportation business of the two large groups, Su Group and Hutchison Whampoa Group, was given to Dali Logistics Company, which caused this previously humble logistics company to quickly become a medium-sized shipping company in Hong Kong. If Sioux City fully supports it, this Dali Logistics Company may develop, and by then, it will become a competitor with Wheelock Shipping.

This is not what John Madden wants to see.

He also wants to be the boss of the shipping industry.

If Sioux City really grabs these ships before Wheelock Group, it will have a great impact on Wheelock Group's future development strategy.

"No, we have to stop Sioux City from purchasing these cargo ships!" This was John Madden's inner thought.

He didn't want the lion of Global Shipping Group to be replaced by Dali Logistics, which might turn into a tiger.

At this time, he didn't think about why Su Cheng told him this, because it was unnecessary.

John Madden understood that Global Shipping Group was going to sell the ship to Sioux City. After all, everyone knew that Sioux City was the entrepreneur with the most impressive cash flow in Hong Kong.

It is impossible for people to place their hopes of selling only on Wheelock Group.

Buyers must look for more buyers.

"Mr. Su, if you buy our building, what price can you pay?" John Madden asked the price again.

Now, the initiative is in Su Cheng's hands.

Of course, if the price offered by Sioux City is too outrageous, the transaction will definitely not be completed. Even if Wheelock is eager to withdraw funds, they will not lose assets indiscriminately.

"I don't bid randomly. The Federal Building and the International Building are sold together for HK$16 billion. This price is my bottom line. No matter how high it is, I think it's no longer worthwhile. Mr. John should also know that now in Hong Kong There are many buildings for sale. If the Federal Building is sold alone, I can offer HK$10 billion!" Su Cheng also stated his ideal price.

The actual price of the Federal Building is at least double that of the International Building. After all, one is in Central and the other is in Mong Kok. Real estate prices in Central are much higher than those in Mong Kok.

Therefore, if they sell the Federal Building alone, Sioux City is happy to spend 10 billion to buy it. Of course, he also wants the Mong Kok International Building. Although the housing prices in Mong Kok are not as high as those in Central, Mong Kok is also a bustling city, and the International Building is rented out. It's also very easy.

The package price of HK$16 billion is also the funds Wheelock obtained in another world. If nothing else, they should be able to accept it.

The difference between HK$15 billion and HK$16 billion is still very big. This is HK$1 million.

If Sioux City bids HK$15 billion, they probably won't accept this price.

After all, Global Shipping Company had already offered this price, so there was no need for him to mention this price anymore.

"No more talk?" John Madden asked.

"Yes, Mr. John Madden, I am more sincere. I have already stated my reserve price. You can buy and sell freely. It is up to you whether to sell or not." Su Cheng said with a smile. (End of chapter)
