We're building a super chaebol in Hong Kong

Bard, convinced that he had completely destroyed the evidence, didn't give a second thought to whether Su Cheng would investigate him.

In his opinion, as long as he behaved well enough for the next half month, his life wouldn't change much.

At this moment, he had no idea that Su Cheng had already secretly ordered an investigation into his past.

He himself might not reveal much.

However, investigating the people around him was a different matter.

In the blink of an eye, the date arrived at November 20th.

Yesterday, rumors had already begun circulating in the market that HK Electric had big news internally.

However, no one knew what this news was.

By the evening, all major media outlets in Hong Kong had received an invitation from HK Electric's headquarters.

The content of the invitation was simple: inviting them to attend a press conference to be held on the morning of November 20th, where important news would be announced.

Therefore, early this morning, major media outlets flocked to the HK Electric headquarters building in Causeway Bay.

Many people speculated that this important news might be related to the previous movements in the stock market.

However, there was no need for speculation now.

Because it would be announced at ten o'clock.

Su Cheng arrived here earlier than the media reporters. When the media reporters arrived one after another, Su Cheng was already drinking tea with Zhang Qizheng in the office.

In order to perform well in front of Su Cheng, Bard worked very hard, and the entire press conference was arranged in a particularly grand manner.

Originally, he also wanted to invite those business and political bigwigs to come, but Su Cheng refused.

Su Cheng had attended many press conferences, and each time it was often the same people who were invited. For him, it was no longer meaningful.

Directly inviting the media to come and announce the news was enough. There was no need to bother these bigwigs again.

For Su Cheng, taking over HK Electric was no longer a very big deal.

Unlike the first time he took over Hutchison Whampoa, at that time, he was the first Chinese to become the head of a British trading house, which was of great significance.

Now, he was already the boss of many companies. Another HK Electric didn't seem like a big deal in his eyes.

"Boss, this Mr. Bard seems to want to please you very much. Will you continue to let him be the person in charge of HK Electric?" Zhang Qizheng asked with a smile.

There were only Su Cheng and Zhang Qizheng in the office, so there was nothing wrong with Zhang Qizheng asking this question.

"He knows that he can't stop me from taking over, and he wants to continue to stay in HK Electric, that's why he is behaving like this. Whether he can stay depends on his future performance." Su Cheng said with a smile, not intending to say too much.

This matter was not yet certain, so there was naturally no need to continue talking about it.

"I wonder what the reaction of those media will be when they know that you, boss, have taken down HK Electric?" Zhang Qizheng was full of curiosity about the upcoming press conference.

"Another British company has been taken over by a Chinese, and there will definitely be discussions about whether British consortia are declining and whether Chinese consortia are rising." Su Cheng laughed.

After the previous Hutchison Whampoa and Wharf incidents, the media used these to make a fuss.

"That's right. For us, it's also a good thing, allowing the Chinese people's inner sense of pride to be fully raised, without having to appear inferior when facing foreigners." Zhang Qizheng said with emotion.

He was born before World War II and can be said to have fully experienced the entire World War II, knowing what it feels like for a country and a nation to be backward.

Therefore, he would support the rise of Chinese capital in Hong Kong, even if this acquisition of HK Electric was not led by the boss, but by another Chinese boss.

Only when the strength of the Chinese becomes stronger will their right to speak in Hong Kong be greater.

Just as Su Cheng and Zhang Qizheng were chatting, a knock on the door sounded.

"Come in," Su Cheng said.

"Mr. Su, the press conference is ready and it's almost time to start." It was Bard who opened the door.

At this time, Bard had already integrated his role into the second-in-command of HK Electric.

After all, although he had served as the top leader of HK Electric for several years, he had also started from the grassroots level, so it was easy for him to adapt to having someone above him by one level.

Anyway, in his opinion, as long as Su Cheng didn't come to the company often, his position as the second-in-command was no different from the top leader. He still had the final say on everything.

At this time, dozens of media reporters came to the conference room. These reporters were all from strong media outlets in Hong Kong, including radio stations, newspapers, magazines, television stations, and other media.

Apart from Bard, the other middle and senior managers still didn't know what was going to be announced today.

Some senior executives asked Bard, but Bard only replied that they would know after the press conference started.

Although Su Cheng had already had someone put the equity information of HK Electric on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange for registration, anyone who wanted to check could find it on the Stock Exchange.

But under normal circumstances, no one would specifically check this thing.

As for the staff of the Hong Kong Stock Exchange, they would not disclose these things, because they were in these key positions and had signed a confidentiality agreement with the company, and could not arbitrarily spread the customer's information, otherwise the punishment would be unbearable for them.

Originally, although everyone was chatting in the conference room, the voices were not loud, and more of it was whispering.

When Bard, Su Cheng, and Zhang Qizheng walked into the conference room, the conference room instantly became noisy.

Especially those media reporters, they were extremely excited.

The recognized world's richest man, the head of Hutchison Whampoa, actually appeared at the HK Electric press conference.

If other bigwigs came to participate, they might not have such a reaction.

However, apart from Su Cheng, there were no other bigwigs invited to the scene.

So, Su Cheng's purpose here was obvious.

"Mr. Su, please sit in this seat." Bard invited Su Cheng to the main seat on the podium.

Su Cheng nodded, walked directly to the main seat, faced everyone, and sat down calmly.

Zhang Qizheng also sat down in a seat next to him.

At this time, even the most stupid people knew that the protagonist today was Su Cheng.

Now, everyone was even more excited.
