We're building a super chaebol in Hong Kong

At 11 p.m. on June 26th, Hong Kong time, a plane arrived from afar over Hong Kong, circled twice, and smoothly landed at Kai Tak Airport.

Walking down the airstair, Su Cheng took a deep breath; even the air felt fresher than in London.

It's better here; this is the world of the Chinese, with familiar culture, language, and cuisine.

London, after all, is just a foreign land.

"President Yang, why don't you stay at my place first? Once you find a place to live, you can move out," Su Cheng said with a smile.

"Wouldn't that be too much trouble? My wife and I can just stay at a hotel," Yang Chaoye replied, shaking his head.

After all, they had only known each other for a few days.

"No trouble at all. It's just me at home anyway. President Yang can settle down first, take a good rest, and then report to Su's Group when you're ready," Su Cheng said with a hearty laugh.

After all, he was a little old man in his sixties and needed to rest well.

"Since the boss is so kind to invite me, it wouldn't be polite to refuse. Then I'll have to trouble you, boss," Yang Chaoye finally agreed.

The villa on Barker Road had plenty of rooms, so Su Cheng didn't mind giving them a room to stay in temporarily.

Top talent needs to be treated with courtesy to help him make more money!

Back at the villa, Su Cheng had the servants arrange Yang Chaoye's room and then went to wash up and rest early.

The long journey was indeed very tiring. Zhong Chuhong, who was next to him, was already exhausted.

The next day, Su Cheng woke up refreshed again. Today, he didn't go to Su's Group but planned to visit Tianyuan Building.

Currently, Su's Group was just developing step by step as before, and for the time being, there was nothing that required him to handle personally.

But Tianyuan Company was different. During his time in England, Su Cheng had basically arranged for Zhang Qizheng to do everything.

Now that he was back, he naturally wanted to understand what was going on there.

Su Cheng didn't bring Zhong Chuhong with him, but took several bodyguards and went directly to Tianyuan Building.

He would let her rest more after such a long journey.

In the general manager's office of Tianyuan Building, Su Cheng saw Zhang Qizheng in the midst of his busy work.

During his time in London, Su Cheng had arranged many work tasks for Zhang Qizheng, so although he no longer had to manage Wharf and Hutchison Whampoa had entered a low-key period, Zhang Qizheng's work had not become idle.

"Boss, you're finally back," Zhang Qizheng said with a smile when he saw Su Cheng.

"You've worked hard during this time," Su Cheng said with a smile.

"It's my duty. By the way, boss, I'll report to you on the situation during this time:

1. The shares of Hutchison Whampoa that we secretly control have reached 49.3%. That is to say, adding the 16.5% in the boss's hands, we control a total of 65.8% of Hutchison Whampoa's shares. However, there are not many shares left on the stock market. If you want to continue the acquisition, it's best to target other shareholders;

2. Hutchison Whampoa Chairman Li Wei has been afraid that we will interfere in Hutchison Whampoa's affairs, so he has contacted me privately several times, but because you haven't returned yet, boss, I have temporarily delayed responding to him;

3. Carrian Bank has been acquired, with a final transaction price of 16.5 million Hong Kong dollars. For this reason, I specially recruited a general manager from another well-managed bank to temporarily manage Carrian Bank;

4. Agreements have been reached for the acquisition of the two oil companies, and contracts can be signed at any time."

"Well, you've done a good job. Your year-end bonus won't be less," Su Cheng said with a satisfied nod.

"Now that you're back, boss, would you like to visit Hutchison Whampoa? After all, strictly speaking, that's already your industry," Zhang Qizheng said with a smile.

"Okay, let's go," Su Cheng nodded.

Now that he holds 65.8% of Hutchison Whampoa, he is not far from the 75% privatization condition.

Therefore, if he really wants to privatize Hutchison Whampoa, it is necessary to secretly acquire shares from several other shareholders.

Currently, the total market value of Hutchison Whampoa's stock market is about 2 billion Hong Kong dollars, while the highest stock price of Hutchison Whampoa had even reached a terrifying 7.243 billion Hong Kong dollars.

That was back in March 1973. Now, 5 years have passed in the blink of an eye, and Hutchison's stock price has already dropped by 5 billion Hong Kong dollars.

Su Cheng doesn't need to use the form of a company listing to cash in on the stock market, so the delisting of Hutchison Whampoa is very necessary.

Central, Hutchison Whampoa headquarters.

Having made a phone call in advance, Li Wei was already waiting for them when Su Cheng and Zhang Qizheng arrived.

The British companies in Hong Kong like to set up their headquarters in Central, and Hutchison Whampoa is no exception, because building the headquarters in Central is closer to the Government House.

"Mr. Li Wei, hello, this is my boss, Mr. Su Cheng," Zhang Qizheng introduced Su Cheng to Li Wei upon meeting.

The two had met before, but because Su Cheng was not present, he was not in a position to make a decision.

Li Wei looked at Su Cheng in surprise; he was too young.

"Mr. Su, hello, please come to my office," Li Wei didn't say much. This was the headquarters lobby of Hutchison Whampoa, and it was inconvenient to talk here.

As the taipan of Hutchison Whampoa, Li Wei has a very high prestige in the group. After all, he is capable of turning a large, severely loss-making enterprise into profitability.

After the three sat down, Li Wei couldn't wait to ask, "I wonder what Mr. Su thinks about Hutchison Whampoa?"

Previously, the executive director of Hutchison Whampoa was also served by Shen Bi. After all, Shen Bi was the taipan of HSBC Bank, and at that time HSBC Bank was the major shareholder of Hutchison Whampoa. Now that HSBC Bank has sold the shares to Su Cheng, this position is naturally inherited by Su Cheng.

At this time, Li Wei didn't know that Hutchison Whampoa was actually completely controlled by Su Cheng. He still thought that the Hutchison Whampoa shares in Su Cheng's hands were only the 22.4% that HSBC Bank had sold to him.

"Chairman Li manages the group so well, I naturally won't interfere randomly. As a major shareholder of Hutchison Whampoa, how could I possibly be at odds with money?" Su Cheng said with a smile.
