People in Hong Kong create super chaebols

Not long after returning to the Su family villa from the Sheung Wan training base, Su Cheng received the information sent by Brother Wu.

There is a lot of information, and after printing it out it takes up more than a dozen A4 sheets of paper.

He was not in a hurry to watch it, but had a good dinner at home with Cherie Chung, Gillian Chung, Ah Mei and others.

I went to several places today. I first went to Tseung Kwan O, then took the subway to Shek Kip Mei, and then took a bus to Governor's House. After that, I went from Governor's House to Hutchison Plaza in Kowloon Tong. After the inspection, I went to Tin Wo Bodyguard Training Base in Sheung Wan.

It can be said that Su Cheng hardly had any rest throughout the whole day. Even though his physical condition was relatively good among his peers, he still felt a little tired.

After dinner, I watched TV for half an hour on the third floor with Cherie Chung.

Afterwards, he ran to Gillian's room on the second floor and called Ah Mei to come over, asking them to massage his back.

Lying on the spacious Simmons mattress, Su Cheng comfortably enjoyed the massage from the professionally trained Gillian and Amei. The feeling was so comfortable that he felt like he was floating in the air.

In the end, Su Cheng even fell asleep on the bed.

He got up quite early in the morning and had no time to take a nap during the whole day. He had just finished his meal and was prone to drowsiness. Plus with such a comfortable massage, it was normal for him to fall asleep.

Seeing that their young master had fallen asleep, Gillian and Mei did not continue to disturb him. They looked at each other, both left the room and closed the door gently.

When Su Cheng woke up, it was already ten o'clock in the evening.

I slept from 8pm to 10pm, which was not a long time, only two hours, but Su Cheng also felt much more energetic.

Perhaps it was because of the professional massage, Su Cheng felt that the tiredness of the whole day disappeared without a trace in an instant, and he was full of energy again.

I got up and went up to the third floor, only to find that Cherie Chung had gone to bed without me noticing.

Pregnant women need to go to bed early and get enough sleep to benefit the health of the fetus.

Su Cheng did not disturb Zhong Chuhong. After washing his face in the bathroom outside, he tiptoed into the small study.

He had just taken a nap, and although it was already ten o'clock in the evening, he certainly wouldn't feel sleepy for a while, so he simply took a look at the information about the Jardine Matheson Properties Group that Brother Wu had sent him in the evening.

After adjusting the incline of the recliner, Su Cheng picked up the information, lay down comfortably, and began to read.

As a real estate company with a long history in Hong Kong, Hong Kong Land Development Group is definitely the dominant enterprise in the real estate industry in Hong Kong in this era.

Founded in 1889, the Hong Kong Property Group has a history of 90 years. In another ten years, it will be a century-old enterprise.

Relying on its long history, it owns a large amount of land properties in various districts of Hong Kong and Kowloon, especially in the Central financial and commercial circle, where it owns a large number of valuable commercial buildings.

As the parent company of the Hong Kong Property Group, Jardine Matheson & Co. was established even earlier. It was founded in Guangzhou in 1832, which means it has a history of more than 147 years.

After the establishment of the Hong Kong Land Group, Jardine Matheson has always been associated with Hong Kong Land, and Hong Kong Land has an unwritten rule that every head of Jardine Matheson also serves as head of Hong Kong Land. In other words, the current head of Jardine Matheson, Niu Bijian, also serves as head of Hong Kong Land. Of course, the management of Hong Kong Land is still the responsibility of the Hong Kong Land Board of Directors, and the general manager, Bo Fuda, is in charge of the overall situation on a daily basis. Niu Bijian is more responsible for the overall situation of Jardine Matheson, but in many cases, the positions of the two companies are the same.

As a Jardine Matheson Group company, the core business of the Hong Kong Property Group is almost all in Hong Kong, and its overseas investments are not very large.

Unlike Jardine Matheson, although its core businesses are in Hong Kong, it has always been actively seeking overseas investments and has many industries in Singapore, the United Kingdom and other places.

Su Cheng slowly read through the dozen pages, and two hours had already passed.

At this time, it was already twelve o'clock in the middle of the night, but Su Cheng did not feel sleepy at all. Instead, he felt a little excited.

Because he discovered some very interesting information, which, if used well, might bring him unexpected benefits.

When the shipping king acquired Jardine Matheson's Wharf Holdings, Jardine Matheson's top management had already been on guard against the covetousness of Chinese capital.

To this end, Jardine Matheson specially created a "linked ship structure" plan, the core of which is the mutual control between Jardine Matheson and Hutchison Whampoa, that is, Jardine Matheson controls 40% of Hutchison Whampoa's shares, and Hutchison Whampoa in turn controls 40% of Jardine Matheson Holdings' shares, thereby strengthening its ability to resist foreign enemies.

These are extremely confidential materials that cannot be made public.

The fact that Brother Wu was able to investigate this information is enough to prove how powerful their intelligence department is in Hong Kong.

If Su Cheng hadn't suddenly felt like investigating the land, he really wouldn't have known about this matter.

Of course, their plan had only just been implemented. In addition, both Jardine Matheson and Hutchison Whampoa Group had suffered heavy losses and were heavily in debt due to the failure of their previous fight for Wharf Holdings. Therefore, they had not made any progress in this action for the time being.

To date, Jardine Matheson only controls 26% of the shares of Hutchison Whampoa Group, which is not much different from the shares of Hutchison Whampoa Group that Jardine Matheson previously controlled.

As for the Hong Kong Property Group, since they are currently vigorously developing the Central financial business district plan, they do not have much spare money to purchase shares in Jardine Matheson & Co., and to date, Hong Kong Property Group controls very few shares in Jardine Matheson & Co.

This is interesting.

To be honest, their plan is really a very bold one.

At the same time, Su Cheng was quite impressed by their plan. If it succeeded, it would be almost impossible for Chinese companies like Jardine Matheson and Swire Properties to covet them.

However, the linked ship structure also has a major flaw. If the enemy controls one ship, they can engage in close combat with the other linked ships. If one is damaged, all will be damaged, and the consequences will be even more terrible.

Of course, the plans of both companies are still on paper at present, and such a plan involves too much and is equivalent to a long-term plan. Given the current situation of Jardine Matheson and Swire Properties, it will be impossible to achieve the goal of mutual control without ten or eight years or even longer.

And doesn’t this just give Su Cheng a good opportunity?
Before they have the strength to control each other, if they continue to secretly purchase shares of one of them, when they have a certain proportion, when their mutual control plan continues, in the future, Su Cheng will be able to control these two Hong Kong dominant companies without making a fuss.

Jardine Matheson and Land Development are different from Wharf Holdings and Hutchison Whampoa. Although Suzhou City has a lot of cash flow, he also knows that if he forcefully acquires one of these two companies, it will definitely be difficult and will be jointly resisted by the British financial consortium.

Moreover, Jardine Matheson is currently controlled by a British financial group and is very stable. It is impossible for Sucheng to acquire Jardine Matheson, at least not now. (End of this chapter)
