We're building a super chaebol in Hong Kong

After hanging up with Bard, Su Cheng wasn't in a rush to prepare.

He had made an appointment for two o'clock, so he could have lunch at home before heading over.

Around two o'clock in the afternoon, Su Cheng finally left home.

Now, holding 52.9% of Hong Kong Electric Group's shares, Su Cheng was full of confidence.

What did he care about a chairman of the board? He could dismiss him if he wanted to.

This was the confidence of a controlling shareholder.

This was Su Cheng's first time at Hong Kong Electric Group's headquarters.

However, he had been to Causeway Bay many times, for example, Hutchison Telecom was located there.

Coming from Barker Road didn't take long; after a dozen minutes, Su Cheng's Rolls-Royce was parked in the underground parking lot of Hong Kong Electric Group's headquarters building.

Now that the hype surrounding the world's richest man had gradually dissipated, Su Cheng could go out in public without attracting too much attention.

With ten elite bodyguards in tow each time, Su Cheng wasn't worried about his safety.

After smoothly ascending from the underground parking lot to the lobby on the first floor, he had expected to be questioned by security, but Bard was already waiting in the lobby.

Although Bard was meeting Su Cheng for the first time, Su Cheng's photos and videos frequently appeared in major newspapers, magazines, and on television, so he recognized Su Cheng at a glance.

"Mr. Su, hello, welcome to Hong Kong Electric Group. Let's go to my office to chat," Bard said, walking up to Su Cheng and shaking his hand.

"Can my bodyguards come with us? They'll just stay outside the office," Su Cheng said with a smile, pointing to the bodyguards behind him.

Although Bard probably wouldn't dare to do anything openly, Su Cheng certainly had to take precautions for his own safety.

After all, he now posed a significant threat to Bard's position, and Su Cheng didn't know much about Bard, only having gleaned some information from the files.

"Of course, no problem. Mr. Su, please follow me." Bard looked displeased at Su Cheng pointing to the ten bodyguards, but ultimately agreed.

Bard had been the chairman of the board of Hong Kong Electric Group for several years, so no one in Hong Kong Electric Group dared to disrespect him, and other big shots were very polite to him when they came to visit.

Even Simon Keswick, the taipan of Hongkong and Shanghai Banking Corporation, was courteous to him.

However, he felt helpless against Su Cheng, even though Su Cheng was flaunting his power here.

Because he still didn't know how many Hong Kong Electric Group shares Su Cheng controlled in total.

"Hopefully, it's not what I imagine. Hopefully, he only owns that 6.43% of Hong Kong Electric Group's shares. If that's the case, this world's richest man won't pose a threat to my position!" Standing in the elevator, surrounded by Su Cheng's bodyguards, Bard thought helplessly.

The elevators in Hong Kong Electric Group's building could hold a dozen people at a time.

So, Su Cheng and his ten bodyguards all entered the elevator, and among the 12 people in the elevator, Bard was the only one not on their side.

Of course, Bard felt helpless and awkward in this situation.

He should have brought his secretary down with him; at least it wouldn't have been so awkward.

Bard's office was on the 6th floor, and they soon arrived.

Stepping out of the elevator, Bard took a deep breath, finally feeling much more comfortable.

"Mr. Su, this is my office, please come in." Bard opened the door to an office and invited Su Cheng in.

As for the bodyguards, they remained outside the office.

After the two men sat down, Bard's secretary in the office poured each of them a cup of coffee, and then Bard asked the secretary to leave.

After all, the following conversation was not suitable for the secretary to hear, even though this secretary was his mistress, and Bard had slept with her countless times.

However, before figuring out Su Cheng's situation, Bard didn't want this matter to be spread.

Otherwise, if people knew that Su Cheng had become a shareholder of Hong Kong Electric Group, it might threaten his position.

After the secretary went out and closed the door, Bard turned his gaze to Su Cheng.

"Mr. Su, I invited you here this time, and I believe you know why. I hope Mr. Su can enlighten me. What is your purpose in acquiring Hong Kong Electric Group's shares? How many Hong Kong Electric Group shares do you currently control?" Bard asked directly.

"Mr. Bard, that's a bit impolite, isn't it?"

Su Cheng took a sip of the coffee, which tasted quite good, with milk and sugar added.

"Impossible, absolutely impossible. How could you possibly get so many shares? The shareholders of our Hong Kong Electric Group own more than 45% of the shares, and there are many pending orders on the stock market now. Although these pending orders are priced relatively high, they add up to more than 5%. How could you become a controlling shareholder?" Bard was somewhat exasperated, not believing Su Cheng's words.

However, he remained relatively calm, because he believed that what Su Cheng said was impossible.

If Su Cheng hadn't acquired those 5 shareholders, Bard's words would indeed be correct, because the members of the Hong Kong Electric Group's shareholders owned just over 45% of the shares.

The problem was that five shareholders among the shareholders contributed 18.62% to Su Cheng, which Bard hadn't expected.

"Since I have become the controlling shareholder of Hong Kong Electric Group, I'm not afraid to tell you. Mr. Mario, do you know him? Mr. Rudolf, do you know him? Mr. Lowell, do you know him? Mr. Body, do you know him? Mr. Augustine, do you know him?"

Hearing Su Cheng say five names in a row, Bard was no longer calm. The shareholders Su Cheng mentioned were all ranked in the top 15 among the shareholders, and two of them were even ranked in the top five.

Bard knew what Su Cheng meant even if he was stupid. Wasn't this just telling him that the shares of these shareholders had already been acquired by me!

"What evidence do you have? We just held a shareholders' meeting with the other shareholders a few days ago, except for Mr. Rudolf!" Although Bard already knew in his heart that this might be true, he still refused to confirm it verbally.

He would stubbornly resist until he saw the evidence.

"Mr. Bard, in fact, we just completed the transaction yesterday. Through the transaction, we acquired 18.62% of the shares from these five gentlemen, and at the same time, we directly acquired 6.43% of the shares on the stock market. Yesterday alone, I controlled 25.05% of the shares.

Mr. Bard should know what 25.05% represents. With just this amount of shares, I am enough to take over Hong Kong Electric Group and become the actual controller of Hong Kong Electric Group.

However, that's not enough. In the previous few months, I had already started having people absorb Hong Kong Electric Group's shares on the stock market. The reason why Hong Kong Electric Group's stock had such a large trading volume every day in the past two months was almost entirely due to our Tianyuan Investment Company's contribution.

Therefore, adding the shares absorbed in the previous few months, the Hong Kong Electric Group shares I control have already exceeded 50%.

I don't need to deceive Mr. Bard about this matter. I came here this time to be frank with you about this matter. Hong Kong Electric Group is now controlled by me, so it should rightfully become my enterprise!"

Su Cheng frankly stated the matter directly.

Now, there was no need to continue hiding it.
