We're building a super chaebol in Hong Kong

That night, many media workers in Hong Kong were called back to work overtime in a state of bewilderment, and many newspapers that were already being printed around the clock were also scrapped directly.

Because all the heads of the newspaper companies knew that if their newspapers didn't include news of these two transactions, they wouldn't sell many copies even if they were printed.

Although there were no interviews, the announcements issued by HSBC Bank, Tianyuan Investment Company, and Global Shipping Group all wrote the specific transaction information relatively clearly.

All of this didn't stump them, and soon, all kinds of exaggerated headlines appeared before the chief editors of various newspaper companies.

This night was destined to be a sleepless night for all media people.

This news was much more explosive than the news that Tianyuan Investment Company had created alone before.

What was the same as before was that the biggest protagonist this time was still Tianyuan Investment Company.

The next morning, all the citizens realized that this morning seemed different from the past.

Many people gathered together, chatting about the news in the newspapers.

Those who didn't know what was going on would walk a few steps, buy a newspaper, and quickly learn the course of events.

The news of Tianyuan's acquisition of Hutchison Whampoa and Global's acquisition of Wharf also caused the Hong Kong stock market to boil over.

Major media newspaper companies published comments one after another, describing this move as "a snake swallowing an elephant," "earth-shattering," and "like dropping a big bomb."

An article in the Oriental Daily News pointed out:

Tianyuan Company's abandonment of Wharf in favor of Hutchison Whampoa shows Tianyuan Company's wisdom and profound insight.

First of all, historically, Wharf has always been an associate company of Hongkong Land, and together with Hongkong Land, they are the two mainstays of the Jardine Group. Acquiring Wharf will inevitably be met with a full counterattack from the major shareholder, Jardine.

However, Hutchison Whampoa, since Simon Keswick's dim resignation, has lacked a family-based major shareholder, and its equity is scattered among many shareholders. Acquiring Hutchison Whampoa will not be met with stubborn resistance from family-based major shareholders. The battle situation will be much more peaceful, and the cost will be lower.

Affected by the previous exclusive report, the Oriental Daily News spared no effort in praising Tianyuan.

However, if someone with a discerning eye conducts careful research, what the Oriental Daily News said is very reasonable.

To take on Wharf, one must confront the Jardine Group head-on, but among the current Chinese businessmen in Hong Kong, only a super-rich man like the Ship King can confront Jardine head-on, and the Ship King also has HSBC Bank behind him, so there is no need to be afraid of Jardine at all.

And Su Cheng's full strength has not been revealed. Everyone is not clear about his true strength. Careful investigation only reveals that he controls Su's Group and 23% of Wharf's shares. News such as the secret acquisition of Hutchison Whampoa's shares is completely unknown. Not to mention media people, even HSBC Bank is completely unaware of this.

More media outlets are praising the rise of Chinese businessmen.

After all, after this time, the major shareholders of these two major foreign firms, Wharf and Hutchison Whampoa, have changed from British capital to Chinese capital. Although, for the time being, it does not mean that they can control Wharf and Hutchison Whampoa, this is also a historic breakthrough.

Tianyuan Building was visited by many reporters and media outlets, and everyone hoped to be able to interview the person in charge of the company.

However, without Su Cheng's authorization, Zhang Qizheng would not reveal any news to the media, so he chose not to accept interviews.

Under the obstruction of security personnel, we couldn't even take a step into Tianyuan Building, and in the end, we had no choice but to give up.

Of course, some reporters lurked outside the building, hoping to be able to interview Zhang Qizheng when he came out.

More reporters, finding it fruitless, chose to go to find Shen Bi, the Ship King, Wei Li, and others.

In short, the Hong Kong business community suddenly became chaotic, very chaotic.

Everyone was talking about HSBC Bank, Hutchison Whampoa, Wharf, Tianyuan Company, and Global Shipping Company.

The stocks of Wharf and Hutchison Whampoa both rose by more than 20% that day.

In response, Zhang Qizheng naturally ordered the trading team to stop continuing to absorb Hutchison Whampoa, because he knew that this rise was only temporary. When they discovered that there was no large amount of capital entering Hutchison Whampoa at all, it would naturally fall again.

As for Wharf, it will automatically continue to rise, because everyone knows that as long as Jardine is unwilling to give up Wharf, they can only bite the bullet and continue to buy Wharf's stock. As for the Ship King, will they allow their stock to be surpassed because of this? Of course not!

While the Hong Kong business community was in a mess, Zhang Qizheng was making a transoceanic phone call, reporting to Su Cheng about the acquisition of Hutchison Whampoa and the reaction of the people in Hong Kong.

"It seems that we dropped a deep-water bomb!" Su Cheng said with a smile, listening to Zhang Qizheng's report.

"Yes, this is simply like a major earthquake, shocking some British-funded business people and awakening a part of the Chinese," Zhang Qizheng said with great emotion.

"Let's not reveal the other shares of our Hutchison Whampoa for now. After the stock falls, we will continue to acquire them. Also, see which shareholders are willing to sell their shares. If the price is right, we can buy them," Su Cheng thought for a while and said.

Hutchison Whampoa's most valuable asset at present is actually the land in Hung Hom. If calculated according to market value, the land in Hung Hom is worth nearly HK$3 billion.

In Su Cheng's previous life in that world, Li Ka-shing not only built a super-large housing estate, Whampoa Garden, on this land, but also developed many commercial buildings and shopping malls.

It was the development value generated by this land that has been supporting the development of his other businesses, eventually making him the richest man in Asia.

"Boss, do you want to privatize Hutchison Whampoa as well?" Zhang Qizheng asked curiously.

"That's right, let me tell you another piece of news. My trip to the UK this time was the right one. I found three shareholders of Hutchison Whampoa these past few days and acquired all of their 16.5% of the shares," Su Cheng said with a smile.

"Ah, then let me calculate first. We have been absorbing the retail shares on the market during this period. As of yesterday's stock market close, we have 22.8% in our hands, plus the 22.4% acquired from HSBC Bank, and the 16.5% in your hands, boss, then don't we already control 61.7%? Then boss, do we need to directly intervene in the Hutchison Whampoa board of directors and then control Hutchison Whampoa?"

Zhang Qizheng was more and more surprised as he calculated. He didn't expect that the boss already controlled more than 60% of the shares. If there were no accidents, he basically had absolute control over Hutchison Whampoa.

"No, you continue to let Hutchison Whampoa operate normally. Call Wei Li, the chairman of Hutchison Whampoa, and tell him that Tianhe Company will not interfere in Hutchison Whampoa's affairs. Hutchison Whampoa's scale is too large. If we force him away now, it will not be easy for us to control such a large company. Take it slowly," Su Cheng said directly.

Basically, the senior management of Hutchison Whampoa are foreigners. If Tianyuan Company suddenly takes over, it will inevitably easily lead to many people resigning together. This is not what he wants to see.

Its container terminals, shipyards, pharmaceuticals, retail businesses, etc. are quite unfamiliar to Tianyuan Company, which is only a financial investment company.

Although Su's Group also has similar industries, the scale of Su's Group is too small to compare with that side at all.

It's like you were originally just running an old and small hotel, and suddenly you are asked to manage a five-star hotel. The final result will definitely be managed in a mess.

So, this matter can't be rushed.
