We're building a super chaebol in Hong Kong

"Does Mr. Su know me well?" Weber said with some surprise.

"Of course, I've heard of Chairman Weber's achievements. In Hong Kong's business circles, you are known by many big shots as the 'company doctor.' This shows that your strength is recognized by everyone," Su Cheng said with a smile.

Hearing Su Cheng's words, Weber's face didn't change much, but he was actually very happy inside.

Born in 1932, Weber is now only 46 years old, in the prime of his life.

"It just so happens that Mr. Su and Mr. Zhang are visiting our Hutchison Whampoa headquarters for the first time, so I'll take you on a tour of our headquarters building," Weber said, standing up proactively.

"Then I'll have to trouble Chairman Weber." Su Cheng nodded. He also wanted to learn about the current state of Hutchison Whampoa.

The two followed Weber, starting from the 5th floor of the building, and toured the group's main departments.

Along the way, many employees curiously watched their boss leading two Chinese people, introducing the company as they toured. They immediately guessed the identities of the two.

In his early years, Weber had the same occupation as Guang Touqiang, just a lumberjack.

In 1951, at the young age of 19, Weber came to Malaysia and worked for a car dealership, rising from engineer to manager.

In 1964, Weber was invited to Hong Kong to preside over Harper Motors, and three years later, he developed the company into a large enterprise group.

In 1973, Weber was again invited to take over the nearly bankrupt Sun Cheong Enterprises, and soon turned the company from loss to profit.

His career is not complicated, but it is very amazing. Therefore, Weber began to emerge in Hong Kong's business community and became a "business wizard."

This is also why Weber was invited by Simon Keswick to Hutchison International in 1975.

This is really a real business wizard. He has almost no record of failure.

Although Su Cheng knew that in another parallel world, Hutchison Whampoa, controlled by Li Ka-shing, had several very good executives, among whom Ma Si-ming and Fok Kin-ning were the most famous.

But in reality, Fok Kin-ning is still a young man and has no management experience at all.

As for Ma Si-ming, he is currently still working at Jardine Matheson.

As the person who created the Wharf acquisition case, Jardine Matheson's attitude towards him must not be good. It is still very difficult to bring Ma Si-ming, who is also a foreigner, into his pocket.

When he officially announces to the world that he has completely taken over Hutchison Whampoa, Hutchison Whampoa will definitely need a very capable executive.

In this era, it is too difficult to find Chinese executives with this kind of management experience. Yang Chaoye can be said to be a pure surprise.

Therefore, Weber is a very good choice for managing Hutchison Whampoa.

Talent is scarce, and talents like Weber cannot be easily missed.

He not only has the ability and sufficient experience, but also has managed Hutchison Whampoa for three years. Everyone has witnessed the changes in Hutchison Whampoa in the past three years.

Now the only difficulty is how to convince him.

However, there is no hurry at the moment. Su Cheng needs to secretly continue to increase his holdings in Hutchison Whampoa's stock, and he will choose to announce it when he reaches 75% of the shares.

At that time, Weber can only have two choices, either resign or stay and continue to manage Hutchison Whampoa.

"Mr. Su, in your opinion, what else needs to be rectified in Hutchison Whampoa?" Weber suddenly asked Su Cheng.

The latest novel is at 69shuba's first release!

"Chairman Weber, before coming here, I also learned about some of the situation of Hutchison Whampoa. Under your management, Hutchison Whampoa has indeed changed a lot, from a seriously loss-making enterprise to now being able to earn hundreds of millions of Hong Kong dollars a year. But I think there are still areas where Hutchison Whampoa can improve," Su Cheng said with a smile.

"Oh? What high opinion does Mr. Su have?" Weber asked curiously.

"Hutchison Whampoa should sell the loss-making Harbour Engineering. In this way, Hutchison Whampoa's performance will be further improved, and profits can be greatly increased," Su Cheng pointed out the key.

If you want to conquer him, you can't be underestimated by him.

These, of course, were told to him by Xiao Ai.

In Su Cheng's previous world, after Li Ka-shing took over Hutchison Whampoa, he sold Harbour Engineering. As a result, Hutchison Whampoa quickly increased from an annual profit of 411 million Hong Kong dollars to 1.167 billion Hong Kong dollars. This shows how much funds Harbour Engineering consumed from Hutchison Whampoa!

"As expected of someone who can be a major shareholder of Hutchison Whampoa, Mr. Su is very talented. In fact, I wanted to sell Harbour Engineering last year, but unfortunately, at the board meeting, HSBC did not support my decision, just because Harbour Engineering is one of Hutchison Whampoa's eight listed companies," Weber said somewhat helplessly, while also starting to look at Su Cheng with surprise.

"Chairman Weber, please rest assured that I will fully support you on the board of directors regarding the affairs of Hutchison Whampoa. You can rest assured to do the work of selling Harbour Engineering," Su Cheng said with a smile.

"Since that's the case, then I can rest assured," Weber nodded and said.

The reason why Weber is so actively improving Hutchison Whampoa's profits is naturally also related to the contract he signed.

When Weber joined the board of directors of Hutchison International, he signed an employment contract with Hutchison International. In addition to a fixed base salary, it was also stipulated that once Hutchison recovered its profitability, Weber could enjoy 2.5% of Hutchison International's net profit. This is also why he works so hard to manage Hutchison Whampoa well.

Those who are capable get more. Su Cheng didn't think there was anything wrong with this. After all, people don't work for obligations. There are not many such great philanthropists in the world who contribute without reward.
