We're building a super chaebol in Hong Kong

Compared to the "Shipping King", Tian Yuan Company's acquisition of Hong Kong Electric Group's shares went much smoother.

Back then, the "Shipping King" paid a very high price to seize control of Wharf.

But now, Tian Yuan Company hasn't paid any significant price. Many of the shares acquired from the stock market were even at relatively low prices.

These low-priced shares have also lowered the average acquisition price of the already owned 27.85% of Hong Kong Electric Group's shares.

If Su Cheng can successfully acquire the shares of these five shareholders, he can easily become the controlling shareholder of Hong Kong Electric Group. No one will be able to threaten his control over Hong Kong Electric Group, not even the current taipan of Hong Kong Electric Group.

So, in fact, Su Cheng is willing to accept even a relatively high price.

Because of this, Su Cheng didn't specify a fixed price for buying the shares this time but allowed Zhang Qizheng to handle it freely.

"By the way, Mr. Mario, how many Hong Kong Electric Group shares does the shareholder living in the UK hold?" Zhang Qizheng asked.

"Mr. Rudolph holds a total of 3.66% of Hong Kong Electric Group's shares," Mario replied.

3.66%?

That's a pretty good number.

Currently, Tian Yuan Investment Company holds a total of 27.85% of Hong Kong Electric Group's shares. If we add the 14.96% of shares from the four shareholders originally planned to be acquired, then they will have 42.81% of Hong Kong Electric Group's shares.

Now, with the addition of another shareholder willing to sell, plus the 3.66% of shares in his hand, if this plan is successfully completed, they will be able to hold 46.47% of Hong Kong Electric Group's shares.

After all, if Su Cheng is willing, he can control Hong Kong Electric Group to do anything.

As a shareholder with more than half of the shares, Su Cheng can decide how Hong Kong Electric Group develops, and others have no chance to object, even if Su Cheng is harming the interests of Hong Kong Electric Group.

At most, these shareholders can only complain to the Securities Regulatory Commission.

However, it is not easy to complain about a fully controlling shareholder; without 100% evidence, there is no way to deal with him.

So, at this time, Hong Kong Electric Group can already be regarded as Su Cheng's enterprise.

Just like Global Shipping Group, the "Shipping King" does not hold 100% of the shares, but he has the final say in Global Shipping Group, and everyone will think that Global Shipping Group is the "Shipping King's" enterprise, not the enterprise of other shareholders.

At this time, the telephone in Wei Li's office rang.

Wei Li immediately went to answer the phone.

The call was from the service desk in the lobby on the first floor, saying that three gentlemen had come to see him.

Wei Li naturally knew who was coming and directly asked the front desk to send someone to bring them up.

Three minutes later, there was a knock on the door of Wei Li's office.

"Come in," Wei Li shouted towards the door.

The door opened, and a company security guard was standing there. Behind the security guard were three foreigners.

These three people were naturally the three shareholders of Hong Kong Electric Group.

Mario, Wei Li, and Zhang Qizheng had already greeted them.

"Mr. Mario, why did you ask us all to come to Hutchison Whampoa?" one of the shareholders asked directly at the door.

He originally thought that Mario asked him to come out alone, but he was surprised to find that the other two shareholders had also come after arriving at Hutchison Whampoa.

The three of them knew that Mario and Wei Li had a relatively good relationship, so when they asked them to come, they didn't think it was about the stock issue at the time.

But after coming over and discovering the other two, they roughly guessed that Mario asked them to come over, perhaps related to Hong Kong Electric Group's stock.

So, as soon as they met, he couldn't wait to ask.

"Don't worry, let's go inside and talk," Mario said with a smile.

Now he has negotiated the price with Zhang Qizheng, so he is in a particularly happy mood.

Several people then entered Wei Li's office.

The office is very large, two to three hundred square meters, so the six people on the scene did not appear crowded at all.

After everyone sat down, Mario directly talked to the other three.

This time, Zhang Qizheng didn't need to speak; he only needed to listen.

The latest novels are available at 69shuba!

Sure enough, as Mario said, it was very simple.

When Mario told them that the negotiated price was HK$6 per share, they didn't think for long before agreeing one by one.

Today's task was unexpectedly smooth.

"Mr. Zhang, we have already negotiated the matter and can trade at any time!" After the negotiation, Mario turned his head and said to Zhang Qizheng happily.

"What about the shareholder in the UK?" Zhang Qizheng asked.

"Mr. Rudolph told me before that he accepts this price, but he is currently in London, and it will take at least two or three days to come to Hong Kong," Mario said helplessly.

After two or three days, if the news that Su Cheng controls Hong Kong Electric Group is announced, the stock price of Hong Kong Electric Group may rise in response. At that time, his 3.66% of the shares will not need to be sold to Su Cheng but will be sold directly on the stock market at a high price.

After all, Wharf had just experienced a surge because Su Cheng, the world's richest man, became the second largest shareholder of Wharf.

Zhang Qizheng certainly wouldn't allow this.

After thinking about it, he quickly came up with a solution.

This matter can be helped by Yu Xing, the president of Su's Group's European branch. The European branch can sign the 3.66% of shares on behalf of Su Cheng. After all, Su's Group is 100% owned by Su Cheng privately.

"Mr. Mario, since Mr. Rudolph is in London, he doesn't need to come to Hong Kong. We also have a branch in London, so let them sign the transfer contract with Mr. Rudolph directly. My request is very simple. Let's all sign the contract today, and as soon as possible. I can ask the finance department to transfer the funds to you immediately after signing the contract," Zhang Qizheng said with a smile.

"Okay, I will call Mr. Rudolph immediately and tell him about this," Mario nodded in agreement.

For him, this matter is that Rudolph owes him a favor. As long as he contacts Rudolph, he has no reason to refuse.

Subsequently, Mario directly called London from Wei Li's office.

Now, it is about 1:00 PM Hong Kong time, and London time is only 8:00 PM.

At this time, normally speaking, he should be able to contact the other party.

Zhang Qizheng is not in a hurry to contact Yu Xing but is waiting for Mario's news.

It's not too late for Zhang Qizheng to contact Yu Xing after Mario contacts that Rudolph.
