We're building a super chaebol in Hong Kong

Time passed, and in the blink of an eye, another three days had gone by.

In the market, apart from stocks exceeding HK$20 per share, there were no more bids for those below this price.

As for stocks exceeding HK$20 per share, no one was buying them either.

At this point, everyone knew that a manipulator had set their sights on China Bus, and buying at this time would likely turn them into韭菜 (a metaphor for being exploited).

Even the Yan family wasn't paying much attention to their company's situation.

As far as they were concerned, with 33% of the shares in their hands, plus the shares of their partners, no one could take control of China Bus.

Moreover, there were more than a dozen people who could be considered significant shareholders of China Bus. Subtracting their shares, the number of shares that could be acquired from the stock market would not pose a threat to the Yan family.

Therefore, seeing the unusual movements in China Bus's stock market, the Yan family simply laughed it off, perhaps paying some attention, but not much.

A manipulator was at play, deliberately creating the appearance that someone wanted to acquire China Bus, thereby driving up the stock price and trapping some ignorant retail investors. This kind of thing happened frequently in the Hong Kong stock market, and everyone was used to it.

Today, Zhang Qizheng didn't go to the Hong Kong Stock Exchange to monitor the stock market situation; there was no need.

What he was focusing on now were the shareholders he had contacted.

Looking at the information his subordinates reported to him, Zhang Qizheng thought for a moment and called Su Cheng again.

Su Cheng was not in Hong Kong today but had taken Zhong Chuhong to Macau to relax.

Pregnant women benefit from walking around and relaxing, which is good for the fetus.

After all, it was his first child, and Su Cheng was very concerned.

At this time, Su Cheng was with Zhong Chuhong at their villa in Macau. Seeing Zhang Qizheng's call, he answered immediately.

Because of its small size, Macau had already achieved full mobile signal coverage, so even in places like Songshan, mobile phones could be used, and the signal was very good.

"Boss, there's something that might be better handled by you," Zhang Qizheng said on the phone.

"Oh? What is it? Tell me," Su Cheng said curiously.

Macau and Hong Kong are separated by a sea, and Su Cheng's private yacht could make the journey in just over an hour. This was because the private yacht didn't travel fast for the sake of comfort, so now it was very convenient for him to travel between Macau and Hong Kong.

"It's about China Bus. Currently, we've persuaded most of the shareholders we've contacted. To cut the Gordian knot quickly, we had the Ma's sign contracts with them after persuading them, and directly acquired the shares on the spot. Currently, all the small shareholders have been dealt with. As a result, we've acquired an additional 12.8% of the shares. The average price for these shareholders is HK$20.2 per share, which is not high. Adding the shares we acquired on the stock market, we now control 32.6% of China Bus's shares, only 0.7% less than the Yan family.

I've also sent people to contact the Huang family. The Huang family has indicated that they do intend to sell all their China Bus shares, but they're asking for HK$24 per share, so our people are still secretly in contact and negotiating with them. The head of the Huang family is also ethical and hasn't immediately told the Yan family that someone wants to acquire their shares. Judging from the Huang family's reaction, acquiring their 3.088 million China Bus shares shouldn't be difficult. Now it's just a dispute between the two sides over price.

As long as we acquire the Huang family's 3.088 million China Bus shares, we'll be able to instantly increase our shares by 6.57%, officially surpassing the Yan family's 33.3% shareholding and becoming the largest shareholder of China Bus.

However, this is still not stable. The Yan family has the support of Huang Chiguang, their partner. Huang Chiguang owns 3.7 million China Bus shares, accounting for 7.87% of China Bus's shares. If we don't win over Huang Chiguang, we may not be able to take control of China Bus.

Therefore, I've also secretly sent people to probe the people around Huang Chiguang these past two days. Judging from the feedback, it's almost impossible for us to win over Huang Chiguang and make him turn around and support us, after all, we haven't revealed our identity. So, I want you to personally contact Huang Chiguang. If you personally step in, it'll be easy to win over Huang Chiguang. Once we acquire the 7.87% of the shares in Huang Chiguang's hands, the Yan family will have no power to resist, and we'll smoothly take over China Bus."

Zhang Qizheng didn't beat around the bush and directly told Su Cheng in detail about the current situation of China Bus under their control and the difficulties they were currently facing.

Su Cheng was originally unfamiliar with Huang Chiguang, the original second-largest shareholder of China Bus.

However, since contacting China Bus, he had begun to have some impression of him, of course, these were all learned from the information.

Huang Chiguang himself was an inconspicuous businessman. At least among the Hong Kong Chinese bosses, he was not a big boss. He was currently the boss of a trading company. China Bus was a listed company he had invested in through the stock market in recent years.

Since investing in China Bus, Huang Chiguang had quickly become the Yan family's closest partner. Usually, at board meetings, he basically unconditionally supported the Yan family's decisions.

Relying on China Bus, he had a stable dividend every year. However, his trading company had been losing money because the global market had not been good in the past two years, which made Huang Chiguang's belief in supporting the Yan family even stronger.

This was also the biggest reason why Huang Chiguang supported the Yan family so much.

In fact, there was nothing between the two families themselves. It was purely because Huang Chiguang felt that with the Yan family in charge of China Bus, he could get more money.

However, the Huang family, another founding family that originally founded China Bus with the Yan family, had already begun to distance themselves from the Yan family.

Huang Chiguang was not a member of the Huang family, the founders of China Bus. Although they both had the surname Huang, the two families had no relationship.

"See Huang Chiguang? Okay, I'll go back to Hong Kong this afternoon and arrange to meet this current third-largest shareholder of China Bus tonight or tomorrow," Su Cheng agreed without hesitation.

He also knew something about Huang Chiguang. Letting him personally come forward to acquire the China Bus shares in Huang Chiguang's hands was indeed not difficult.

"Boss, you should arrange to meet Huang Chiguang tomorrow. We'll try to deal with the Huang family within today, and then, when you meet Huang Chiguang, we'll sweep up all the China Bus shares still circulating in the market, so that the Yan family will have no power to resist," Zhang Qizheng thought for a moment and said.

"Whatever, then I'll have someone send Huang Chiguang an invitation letter, asking him to come to my reception room tomorrow for a chat," Su Cheng said indifferently.

This Huang Chiguang was just an ordinary businessman. If he wanted to continue to be successful in Hong Kong, he would definitely give Su Cheng face, which would make it even easier to acquire his shares.
