People in Hong Kong create super chaebols

"Both are commercial complexes. Harbour City can indeed communicate well with Hutchison Plaza and learn from each other's experiences. However, Mr. Wei Li is in charge of Hutchison. Mr. Bao can contact Mr. Wei Li when he is free. We can chat together, and our thinking will be broadened." Su Cheng put down the teacup in his hand and said with a smile.

As for Hutchison Plaza, Su Cheng felt that he had taught almost everything that needed to be taught. The subsequent operations would naturally depend on the operations team of Hutchison Plaza and Hutchison Whampoa's President William H. Lee.

As for Harbour City, as one of the owners, Su Cheng also hopes that it can develop as soon as possible.

The rent here, due to its inherent advantages, will have a very high starting price.

In the future, when the flow of people increases, the rent will rise even higher.

This is incomparable to Hutchison Plaza. After all, Hutchison Plaza is only a suburban commercial plaza. If it is well managed, the flow of people will not be bad, but it is mainly composed of middle and low-income groups.

After the dishes came, the two continued to chat about many things about Hutchison Whampoa.

Everyone is a shareholder of Hutchison Whampoa, and the first and second largest shareholders, so the topic of conversation naturally revolves around it.

As for the rest, they are just irrelevant matters, and are mainly based on mutual commercial flattery. Su Cheng is not very interested in these.

After dinner, the two had almost finished chatting, so Su Cheng said goodbye to the boat charter king.

When I got home, it was already past eight o'clock in the evening.

"Boss, have you eaten?" Zhong Chuhong asked considerately as she took off Su Cheng's suit jacket.

"I've eaten." Su Cheng smiled.

Not long after, Zhang Qizhen called Su Cheng from the UK.

"Boss, I know about Huifeng Bank. I have already given instructions. Your method is really great. Not only does it cover up the fact that we acquired Huifeng Group's shares, but it also allows us to easily get the other party's stocks. It's really killing two birds with one stone."

"I just thought of it on impulse. Be careful not to let others know that we are doing this transaction from left hand to right hand."

"Don't worry, boss. We are experienced and know what to do."

"Well, this is really good news coming one after another. With Mr. Scotty Fischer's 2.26% stake, our control of Huifeng Bank's shares will go one step further. This progress is much faster than expected!"

"Indeed, but this kind of thing is rare. Once we have dealt with Mr. Scotty Fischer's shares, our progress in the stock market will slow down. We can only hope that more shareholders will want to sell their shares."

"The probability is quite high. In the next two or three years, many British financial groups cannot see the future of Hong Kong, so they will become timid and want to sell off the shares of Huifeng Group. You should pay more attention to this. Once a shareholder wants to sell, we will take over if we have the opportunity, but we cannot let them discover our ambitions."

"Of course. By the way, Boss, I have one more thing to report to you, which is about the Leyland Motor Group. I have discussed many conditions with the senior management of the Leyland Motor Group. As for the Austin brand, they agree to sell it in principle, and there is no problem even moving all of Austin's production lines to Hong Kong.

They are unwilling to sell the brand of Leyland Victory Bus Manufacturing Company, but they can transfer the technology combined with the Austin method to us, and can assist us in building a bus production line in Hong Kong. They also promised that the bus technology is the most advanced they have.

Regarding the transaction amount, the amount we have agreed on is 6600 million pounds, which is approximately million Hong Kong dollars when converted into Hong Kong dollars. In fact, Austin is not worth that much money at present, but because we are the buyer outside the UK, the British government will definitely block our transaction if the price is not higher.

Moreover, the chairman of the board of directors of Leyland Motor Group also tried to sell me Jaguar, a luxury car brand. If we were interested, we could acquire this famous British luxury car brand for only 14 million pounds. In other words, if we spent 20 million pounds, we could acquire Austin and Jaguar as a package, and they would also give us a bus production line and the most advanced bus technology. After negotiations, the senior management of Leyland Motor Group promised that they would persuade the British State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission for us.

We haven't signed an agreement yet. I'm here to report this matter to you, boss, and you'll make the final decision."

Zhang Qizhen reported in detail the negotiations with Leyland Motor Group to Su Cheng.

"Jaguar?" Su Cheng suddenly became interested.

This brand is still a very well-known luxury brand even after decades. Although its sales volume cannot be compared with those of Mercedes-Benz, BMW and Audi, its influence is also very strong.

Now, luxury brands like BBA are doing very well, and their bosses will definitely not sell them.

In that case, it would be nice to buy a Jaguar for fun.

Moreover, acquiring two well-known automobile brands for a price of 20 million pounds does not seem to be a bad deal.

Perhaps, more than 200 million Hong Kong dollars is a huge sum of money for others, but for Su Cheng, it is just a sum of money that can be easily earned.

Actually, this price is not cheap at all.

When the British State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission acquired a full stake in Leyland Motor Group, it only spent 60 million pounds.

The Leyland Motor Group owns thirty-five automobile brands.

But now, Su Cheng has to spend 20 million pounds just to buy two of the car brands, which is a loss no matter how you look at it.

Of course, at least half of these 35 car brands have actually stopped producing cars, and their brand influence is even worse.

Unlike Austin and Jaguar, at least they are currently in production, and Jaguar's popularity is even able to rank among the top five in the Leyland Motor Group.

From this perspective, 20 million pounds is not a loss.

What's more, Su Cheng is just an outsider after all. It is already very good that others are willing to sell these high-tech enterprises to Su Cheng.

"If we buy Jaguar cars, can we move our headquarters to Hong Kong?" Su Cheng asked.

Although the sales volume of Jaguar cars that he knew in his previous life was not very high, Su Cheng actually liked the name of this car very much. Jaguar Jaguar, “Jie” means victory and also means fast, symbolizing victory, meaning victory, success, speed and flexibility.

At the same time, Jaguar's car logo looks like a leaping jaguar. It is not only a logo, but also a symbol of Jaguar's unique style.

This logo, with its vivid shape, concise image and strong dynamic feeling, embodies power, rhythm and bravery, just like every Jaguar vehicle itself, full of power and shock.

Ten million pounds to buy such a luxury car brand, Su Cheng is already tempted. (End of this chapter)
