People in Hong Kong create super chaebols

Since Shen Bi wanted to have a private chat with Niu Bijian, Su Cheng had no intention of stopping them and just walked out.

"Mr. Su, would you like some coffee?" Shen Bi's female secretary followed him and asked cautiously.

Shen Bi's female secretary is a British woman, about thirty years old, and she's pretty good-looking. She usually accompanies Shen Bi on business trips, and is like a personal secretary. Su Cheng guessed that she was probably Shen Bi's mistress.

Therefore, he had no interest in having her serve him at all, and said directly: "Just do your thing, I'll go around the various departments of the headquarters."

As a member of the board of directors of Huifeng Group, Su Cheng does have the right to inspect various departments.

Currently, Huifeng Group has a total of six major departments, namely Global Banking Department, Capital Markets and Securities Services Department, Global Fund Management Department, Industrial and Commercial Banking Department, Wealth Management and Personal Banking Department, and Huifeng Global Private Banking.

Although most of Huifeng Group's business is now based in Hong Kong, the board of directors' ambition is to go global and make Huifeng Group a global financial enterprise. The establishment of these departments named after Global is a precautionary measure. It also shows that the ambitions of Huifeng Group's top management are very big.

Su Cheng casually inspected various departments of the headquarters to understand their current situation.

From the current perspective, Huifeng Group's international development speed is quite good. It has acquired several banks in the UK and the United States and integrated resources. Now Huifeng Group is also seeking to acquire a large bank in the United States. If the acquisition is successful, Huifeng Group's ranking in global banks will rise significantly.

In Su Cheng's eyes, Huifeng Group will be his holding company in the future.

Therefore, he has already regarded Huifeng as his own, although on the surface he currently only holds 4.58% of Huifeng Group's shares, which are public. Among them, 1% was sold to him by Huifeng's board of directors at a low price, and the other 3.58% was sold to him by Morley Fund Company.

In fact, the shares of Huifeng Group that he holds have already exceeded 10%.

The 2.26% shares of Scotty Fischer, a former member of Huifeng's board of directors, have been transferred from one hand to the other by Tianyuan Investment Company and are now secretly controlled by Tianyuan Company.

If he makes public his identity as the largest shareholder of Huifeng Group, his power in Huifeng Group will increase significantly.

Of course, Su Cheng was not stupid enough to announce it like that.

Once it is announced, the British consortium of Huifeng Group will unite to deal with him, thus making his plan to take over Huifeng Group fail, which is something Su Cheng does not want to see.

While Su Cheng was inspecting various departments of Huifeng Group, a dispute was going on in Shen Bi's office.

"It's impossible for me to bow my head and apologize. I represent the Jardine Matheson Group and the Hong Kong Land Development Group, the largest British-owned companies in Hong Kong, with many British financial groups standing behind them. How can I apologize to a Chinese like him? So what if he is the richest man?" Niu Bijian roared.

"If you don't apologize, why do you want me to be the middleman and make things difficult for me? Mr. Su Cheng and I are friends.
We were just having a nice chat, if you hadn't suddenly said those words, who wouldn't get angry?

Mr. Niu Bijian, don't blame me for not reminding you. Although forcing villagers to demolish their houses is a trivial matter in my opinion, once such a thing is broadcast by the media, the reputation of your Jardine Matheson and Hong Kong Holdings will surely suffer a great loss.

The lives of these villagers are worthless, but these are all illegal under the law. With Su Cheng's ability, isn't it easy for him to get evidence of your crime?
By then, let alone the question of whether you can still sit on the position of the boss of Jardine Matheson or Landmark, once the Chinese start making trouble, you will at least have to go to jail!
What's more, Mr. Su Cheng is now in the limelight in the business world and his influence in the world is growing. On the contrary, your Jardine Matheson is just a regional enterprise after all. Do you think you can compete with him? I went to the Governor General Mr. MacLehose a few days ago. According to Mr. MacLehose, even Her Majesty the Queen personally sent an invitation to Mr. Su Cheng to visit the UK.

You actually want to make an enemy of such a person just for the sake of face?
If I were the controller behind Jardine Matheson, and I learned that you had offended Mr. Su Cheng, I would consider whether to find someone else for the position of Jardine Matheson boss!

Mr. Niu Bijian, I have known you for many years. In my mind, you have never been an impulsive person, but today it seems that I was wrong about you!"

There were only two of them in the office, so they simply dropped their pretense and had a loud argument.

Niu Bijian and Shen Bi are people of the same level and both are bigwigs in the Hong Kong business community. Although their relationship is only average, they are both part of British-funded enterprises and can be considered friends. Normally, they would never curse at each other like this.

Shen Bi was also unwilling to offend Su Cheng too much. After all, the controllers behind their Huifeng Group were very optimistic about Su Cheng's future, and for this reason they specially tied Su Cheng and Huifeng Group together.

Even Huifeng Group was unwilling to offend Su Cheng, so how could Niu Bijian offend Su Cheng as the boss of Jardine Matheson?

In Shen Bi's opinion, today's Niu Bijian was really brave.

Although the incident started because Su Cheng intervened in the demolition of the land, in Shen Bi's opinion, this matter was just a small matter. Just because of such a small matter, it was not worth it for Jardine Matheson to directly make a big feud with Su Cheng.

Since Su Cheng is opposed to using the underworld to intimidate the villagers, then just conduct the demolition and acquisition in a normal market manner. It is really irrational to offend Su Cheng just to save more than 10 million Hong Kong dollars in demolition fees.

As many British-owned companies gradually withdrew from Hong Kong and Chinese-owned companies continued to rise, Shen Bi had already deeply realized that Chinese-owned companies in Hong Kong would definitely replace British-owned companies in the future and become a major component of Hong Kong's economy.

As for British-owned enterprises in Hong Kong, their decline is inevitable.

He didn't want Huifeng to be the only large British-owned enterprise left in Hong Kong in the future.

This is also the reason why he wanted to persuade Niu Bijian.

Shen Bi's words calmed Niu Bijian down completely.

Before this, he felt that he and Su Cheng were big shots of the same level. In addition, the British financial groups have always looked down on the Chinese, and this incident itself made him very angry, so he said everything he was thinking at once.

Originally, he felt a little regretful after saying it, but after hearing Su Cheng's words, he was blinded by anger again.

At this moment, after hearing what Shen Bi said, although he still spoke very hard, he regretted it even more in his heart. (End of this chapter)
