People in Hong Kong create super chaebols

"Uncle Zhang, I came here this time because I have something important to discuss with you. This time, I need you to be busy again." Su Cheng changed the subject and said.

"Boss, just tell me if you have anything to say. I'm not really busy. After all, the job doesn't require me to do it myself. It's more about arranging the work and taking charge of the overall situation." Zhang Qizhen said with a smile.

"I want you to secretly acquire shares of the Jardine Matheson Real Estate Group, and just like the acquisition model of Huifeng Group, it cannot be discovered by others. This matter can only be done in secret. I have important arrangements. Once the matter is exposed, my plan will fail." Su Cheng said seriously.

"Boss, are you eyeing another subsidiary of Jardine Matheson?" Zhang Qizhen asked in surprise.

He didn't think that Su Cheng would really acquire Hutchison Whampoa. After all, the difficulty of acquiring Hutchison Whampoa was much higher than that of Hutchison Whampoa.

Therefore, Zhang Qizhen thought that Su Cheng wanted to achieve his goal by threatening Jardine Matheson by acquiring shares of Hutchison Whampoa.

Just like before, he clearly intended to acquire Hutchison Whampoa Group, but openly went to acquire Wharf Holdings, and eventually succeeded in taking over Hutchison Whampoa.

In Zhang Qizhen's opinion, the boss wanted to repeat his previous actions.

"Just go ahead with the acquisition. My current target is Swire Properties. As for whether I am interested in other subsidiaries, you will know later. Try to acquire as many shares of Swire Properties as possible without being discovered. By the way, acquire shares of Jardine Matheson as well, but the main focus is on absorbing Swire Properties' shares. Try every means to absorb more shares of Swire Properties, and as many shares of Jardine Matheson as possible. You should arrange this matter as soon as possible. I hope to absorb more than 30% of Swire Properties' shares within three years!" Su Cheng smiled mysteriously.

He did not intend to tell his plan to anyone. As for the fact that by controlling Hutchison Whampoa, he would indirectly control Jardine Matheson, the fewer people who knew about it, the better. As for Zhang Qizhen, it was enough for him to carry out his task well.

"30% of the shares of Hong Kong. Boss, you don't really want to control Hong Kong, do you? Jardine Matheson only holds 26% of the shares. Boss, you directly want more than 30%. This means you are going for the largest shareholder of Hong Kong. This is a property of Jardine Matheson that is not for sale. If they find out, there will definitely be a shocking business war.

However, if it is done in a short period of time, such as a year or two, it will be very difficult. But if there is enough funds in three years, although the boss's task is not easy, the possibility of completion is not small.

Apart from the 26% of shares held by Jardine Matheson, other shareholders do not hold many shares. The vast majority of shares are still held by ordinary investors. As the largest real estate giant in Hong Kong with a long history, Hong Kong has always been a stock that many investors prefer to hold for a long time. So, boss, I cannot guarantee that I can absorb more than 30% of the shares within three years without being discovered. "Zhang Qizheng thought for a while and said.

"It would be the best if we could control Hutchison Whampoa. Hong Kong's real estate industry will only get better and better in the future. That's why I set up a Tianqi Property Company. Regardless of whether we can control Hutchison Whampoa Real Estate Company in the future, we will not lose money on the stocks we hold. Anyway, you just arrange the acquisition for me. Remember, you must not leak the news. This matter will have a huge impact on my future layout. Uncle Zhang, I believe you can handle it!" Su Cheng said seriously.

"Boss, now that you mention that, I feel really pressured." Zhang Qizhen said with a wry smile.

His current mission focus is on Huifeng Group.

Now, there is one more real estate group.

Of course, the Hutchison Whampoa Group cannot currently compare with the Huifeng Group.

The total market value of Huifeng Group exceeds HK$60 billion.

As for the Hong Kong Property Group, no matter how powerful it is, its current market value has not yet exceeded HK$10 billion.

Even Jardine Matheson cannot compare with HSBC Group now. In the past two or three years, HSBC Group has developed very rapidly and has almost reached the point of dominating the Hong Kong financial industry.

But if it was ten years ago or even five or six years ago, Jardine Matheson was the leader of British enterprises, even Huifeng Group ranked behind Jardine Matheson. Unfortunately, heroes do not brag about their past achievements.

Repeated decision-making failures have led to a significant reduction in Jardine Matheson's influence among British-owned enterprises in Hong Kong.

As Hong Kong gradually became one of the world's financial centers, Huifeng's strength and influence also increased greatly, gradually surpassing Jardine Matheson, the old boss of Hong Kong.

Especially last year, the Huifeng Group helped Chinese companies defeat British companies, which allowed Huifeng Bank to move to a higher level, while also exacerbating the decline of Jardine Matheson.

Despite this, it is still a top British company. At least for now, many people think that the strength of Huifeng Group and Jardine Matheson are comparable. Before the emergence of Suzhou City, the only company in Hong Kong, apart from the giant Huifeng Group, was Jardine Matheson.

"There was Jardine Matheson before there was Hong Kong." This was a saying widely circulated among the people of Hong Kong in the early years, which is enough to show the importance of Jardine Matheson to the development of Hong Kong.

There is also an old saying that Hong Kong has three power centers - the Governor's Office, the Jockey Club, and Jardine Matheson.

Governor's Office, the nominal government of Hong Kong.

The Jockey Club is a gathering place for dignitaries. Horse racing is behind closed doors. The major events in Hong Kong are discussed and the procedures are followed at the Governor's Mansion.

Jardine Matheson represents finance and economy. As the name suggests, it is the hand hiding in the dark and controlling the affairs of Hong Kong.

This is also the reason why Zhang Qizhen feels so much pressure.

This time, we have to confront Jardine Matheson head-on.

The task of acquiring Huifeng Group's shares and secretly becoming the controlling shareholder of Huifeng Group is difficult enough.

Now, with the addition of Jardine Matheson whose strength is no less than Huifeng, how can Zhang Qizhen not feel pressured!
Although it was just the acquisition of a holding group under Jardine Matheson, this holding group is also among the top ten in Hong Kong in terms of strength.

Moreover, if it were discovered, Jardine Matheson would not just sit there and watch the Hutchison Whampoa being taken away.

The position of Hong Kong Land in Jardine Matheson is definitely ranked first among all holding companies.

"Uncle Zhang, what are you afraid of? I'm here to protect you. What I lack the most right now is cash flow. As long as you do things secretly enough and the other party doesn't find out, it's just a matter of time for us.

Hong Kong is a city dominated by Chinese people. Its economy should not be controlled by a small number of British financial groups. As a Chinese, I naturally cannot let this situation continue. Therefore, this is my responsibility. With great ability comes great responsibility. I look forward to Hong Kong's economy being controlled by the Chinese as soon as possible, rather than by the British financial groups!"

"Boss, you are right. With enough funds, what are you afraid of?" Zhang Qizheng's pressure was instantly reduced by half after hearing Su Cheng's words. (End of this chapter)
