We're building a super chaebol in Hong Kong

From Su Cheng's perspective, decades ahead of his time, at least half of the Su Group's industries were, in his view, sunset industries in the future.

Therefore, after Su Tianhe's accident, he planned to find a buyer to sell the company.

Of course, the premise was that the selling price had to be reasonable!

Two hundred million Hong Kong dollars was his psychological price point.

Because he knew that selling to others would fetch, at most, about that price. After all, as a listed company, the shares in his hands, plus his father's shares, only accounted for 70% of the entire Su Group.

In the end, Ye Tianrui agreed to Su Cheng's conditions. He secretly decided that once he got the company, he would immediately find a chance to get rid of Su Cheng. The money would naturally return to his hands, since Ye Mei was Su Cheng's stepmother, and if Su Cheng died, Ye Mei would become the sole heir!

In the presence of both parties' lawyers, they signed the contract that day, and two hundred million dollars were transferred to Su Cheng's account through the HSBC bank.

"Aunt Ye, one day to move out of the villa should be enough, right?"

Now that the money was in his account and the contract was signed, Su Cheng no longer wanted to see them.

Ye Mei didn't lie. She probably couldn't wait to move back to the Ye family. That evening, several large trucks arrived outside the villa.

Su Cheng stood on the fifth-floor balcony, watching them quickly load things onto the trucks.

"Brother Wu, find someone to help me clear out everything from the first to the fourth floor when you have time. Buy all new things, and find a locksmith to change all the locks on the doors," Su Cheng said, turning to Brother Wu, who was standing beside him.

"Okay, boss," Brother Wu replied.

"Also, starting tonight, send 50 bodyguards over here. I suspect my father's death is related to the Ye family, and they might make a move in the dark," Su Cheng looked at Brother Wu.

"Don't worry, boss, I will arrange for the best bodyguards from the company to come and protect your safety!"

"Find out as soon as possible whether my father's death was an accident or a conspiracy."

"I will try to give you an answer within three days!"

Su Cheng's acquaintance with Brother Wu can be said to be a complete accident.

A few years ago, when Su Cheng had just transmigrated, he once saw an old man being bullied and beaten by a group of thugs on the street. He ordered the bodyguards to drive the thugs away and personally took the old man to the hospital for treatment.

Such a small act of kindness brought him a completely unexpected super helper.

This old man was Brother Wu's father. At this time, Brother Wu had just retired from the mercenary world and returned to Hong Kong to live a quiet life, only to find his father lying in the hospital.

To thank Su Cheng, Brother Wu, who originally planned to find an ordinary job, became a bodyguard.

Su Cheng only kept a few trusted servants in the villa and dismissed the rest, planning to hire some new ones.

By the time everything was done, it was already late at night.

And there were 50 more bodyguards in the villa, hiding around the villa, taking turns to rest and stand guard.

Standing on the top floor balcony of the villa, watching the lights of the tall buildings on both sides of Victoria Harbour gradually go out, Su Cheng was in a very good mood.

From today onwards, he no longer had to hide what he was doing.

In this house, what he says goes!

"Xiao Ai, wake me up at eight o'clock tomorrow morning."

"Okay, Master!"

A cute loli voice sounded in Su Cheng's mind.

After a good night's sleep, Su Cheng was woken up by Xiao Ai at eight o'clock the next morning.

After eating breakfast made by Aunt Wu, Brother Wu drove out in a Land Rover SUV. Su Cheng sat in the back seat. In front of and behind the Land Rover, there were two Volkswagen cars, both filled with Su Cheng's bodyguards.

The world is so chaotic, safety first, especially in these special times!

His destination was North Point, where the headquarters of Tianyuan Investment Management Company and Tianhe International Bodyguard Company were located.

The car quickly arrived in front of a 15-story building. After parking the car, Su Cheng got out of the car and looked up at the building in front of him.

Tianyuan Building was the name of this building.

A year ago, seeing that the company was growing bigger and bigger, Su Cheng had the idea of buying a building.

It just so happened that a British-funded group was in a hurry to withdraw from Hong Kong and couldn't find a suitable buyer for a while, giving Su Cheng a great deal. This building, located directly opposite Kai Tak Airport, was eventually taken down by Su Cheng for a price of 30 million Hong Kong dollars.

After buying it, Su Cheng changed the name of the building to Tianyuan Building, and then moved the headquarters of Tianyuan Investment Management Company and Tianhe International Bodyguard Company in.

Su Cheng led a group of bodyguards to the top floor of the building. Coming out of the elevator, it was the general manager's office of Tianyuan Investment Management Company.

Usually, Su Cheng rarely came here. Few people in the entire company knew Su Cheng.

In these five years, with the help of Xiao Ai, through the 1973 stock market crash, the First Oil Crisis, the 1974 World Cup, and so on, the capital he controlled had long exceeded one billion Hong Kong dollars. Even his father, Su Tianhe, and others did not know about this.

The only person who really knew Su Cheng's details was Zhang Qizheng, the general manager of Tianyuan Investment Management Company.

Of course, this was also after Zhang Qizheng had been tested by Su Cheng and knew that he was a trustworthy person, that he entrusted Tianyuan Investment Company to him for management.

"Boss, you're looking for me?"

In the office, Zhang Qizheng was originally busy processing documents. Hearing the noise, he looked up and saw Su Cheng and others.

Zhang Qizheng was a professional manager recruited by Su Cheng from Wall Street, with rich experience in investment operations.

"Uncle Zhang, sit down. What's the situation with Hutchison Whampoa and Wharf now?"

"Boss, currently we hold 23% of Wharf's shares and 18% of Hutchison Whampoa's shares. With our current shareholding in Wharf, we can challenge Hongkong Land's position as the major shareholder in the Wharf Group. As far as I know, Hongkong Land, as the nominal major shareholder of Wharf, only holds about 10% of the shares. Do we need to disclose the shares we hold?"

"Disclose the share information of Wharf, but don't disclose Hutchison Whampoa's for the time being. Later, you will spread the news to the media, saying that Tianyuan Investment Company intends to acquire more than 50% of Wharf's shares and become the actual controller of Wharf!"

"Boss, are you really planning to control Wharf? As far as I know, it's not just us who are eyeing Wharf. I heard that the shipping magnate Bao Yugang and Li Ka-shing of Cheung Kong Group are also interested in acquiring Wharf. There are many competitors. Although our shareholding has become an absolutely dominant major shareholder, if they unite, our position will not be very stable!"

"Uncle Zhang, do you think that with our current strength, can we simultaneously swallow Hutchison Whampoa and Wharf?" Su Cheng did not answer Zhang Qizheng's question, but asked him instead.

"With our current strength, even with the two hundred million funds that you just acquired, boss, it's not a problem to temporarily be the major shareholder of these two groups, but it's too difficult to completely control these two listed groups."

Zhang Qizheng thought for a while and finally shook his head, saying that the backgrounds of the two groups were too strong.

Being a major shareholder does not necessarily mean being able to control them, unless they can truly achieve a controlling stake, such as owning more than 50% of the shares.

"So, the meaning is that we can only choose one, right?"

"That's right, boss."

"Then I understand. If we have to choose one, I choose Hutchison Whampoa. Continue to secretly acquire their shares; as for Wharf, operate it well and sell it for a good price, but on the surface, we still have to show that we are constantly seeking to increase our shareholding in Wharf!"
