We're building a super chaebol in Hong Kong

"By the way, Boss, I have something to tell you. Mr. Wei Li also knows about it, and I reported it to him as soon as possible," Wen Yu said after thinking for a moment.

"Go ahead," Su Cheng said, turning his gaze to Wen Yu.

"Last week, someone from Hongkong Land Group contacted me privately, wanting me to switch jobs and go over there. From what I gathered, they are planning to build a city complex similar to Hutchison Whampoa Centre in Hong Kong as well. They know I already have a lot of experience, so they want me to switch jobs and be in charge of their project," Wen Yu continued.

"Oh? Hongkong Land Group? They're quite bold, aren't they? They actually set their sights on me?" Su Cheng said with some surprise.

Hongkong Land is the leading real estate company in Hong Kong, owning the most properties in the city center. It's normal for them to want to get involved after seeing the success of Hutchison Whampoa Centre.

However, Su Cheng really didn't expect Hongkong Land to set its sights on him.

After all, Su Cheng had already successfully won against Jardine Matheson and Hongkong Land in the competition before.

In addition, although the strength of these British companies is still very strong, especially Jardine Matheson and Hongkong Land, who are family and a strong alliance between the two, they are indeed not afraid of anyone. But no matter what, Su Cheng is also the richest man in Hong Kong, and they actually dared to directly poach Su Cheng's people, which really exceeded Su Cheng's expectations.

"Yes, Boss, they have contacted me twice since last week, but I have clearly rejected them. In my opinion, how could Hongkong Land be as promising as Hutchison Whampoa? I am also in charge of this project here. Although they tempted me to go there with a high salary, I think it's better to stay at Hutchison Whampoa," Wen Yu said with a smile.

Now, everyone in Hong Kong knows that the most promising companies are those under Su Cheng. Moreover, it is obvious that British companies in Hong Kong are constantly declining. Who knows when Hongkong Land will become a Chinese-funded enterprise!

Therefore, unless the conditions offered by the other party were too good to refuse, Wen Yu would not consider switching to Hongkong Land at all.

"Your decision is very good. As long as you follow me wholeheartedly, your future will be bright," Su Cheng gave Wen Yu an appreciative look.

Wen Yu was not promoted by Su Cheng, but was a talent found and screened by Wei Li through Sanyang Headhunting Company, and personally interviewed and recruited. He had been the Deputy General Manager of the North American branch for more than half a year, and his ability was extraordinary. Coincidentally, the Hutchison Whampoa Centre project was established, and Wen Yu also had relevant experience, so he was transferred back from North America to serve as the General Manager of Hutchison Whampoa Centre.

After two or three months of observation, it has been proven that Wen Yu is capable of holding this position.

From a deputy in a Hutchison Whampoa North American branch to the general manager of a subsidiary, it seems like there is no promotion, but in fact, the future is even greater. After all, no matter what, he is also the boss of the Hutchison Whampoa Centre project, while in the branch, he is just the second-in-command.

Currently, there is only one Hutchison Whampoa Centre, so it seems that the scale of Hutchison Whampoa Centre is not large, but in the future, when Hutchison Whampoa opens chain stores all over the world, then the general manager of Hutchison Whampoa will be very powerful. After all, even Wei Li values this project very much, regarding it as one of Hutchison Whampoa's important development projects in the future.

"Boss, Hongkong Land has the idea of replicating a Hutchison Whampoa Centre so quickly. It seems that our competitors will appear soon," Wen Yu said with some seriousness.

"Just do our own thing well, do a good job with our service, do a good job with our quality, and put the needs of customers first. Then we will not be afraid of the appearance of other competitors at all. When the Hutchison Whampoa Centre project was established, we should have already thought that competitors will appear sooner or later. Nothing can be monopolized forever," Su Cheng was not worried at all.

What he was thinking about at this time was not any competitors. This was just a small problem. In the future, as long as more Hutchison Whampoa Centres are built, even if half of them have good traffic, they can earn him a lot of cash.

What he is thinking about now is that Hongkong Land wants to poach his talent so openly, which makes him feel very unhappy.

Although Su Cheng himself often does this, and even recently poached Mais from Li Ka-shing before him.

Even the President of Hongkong Electric Holdings Limited, Ma Shi-ming, was poached from Jardine Matheson.

This is a very typical double standard.

However, this society itself is a society where the strong prey on the weak. Su Cheng is stronger than Li Ka-shing, so he naturally feels at ease taking the lead in poaching talent.

In addition, poaching Ma Shi-ming was also because Jardine Matheson did not value Ma Shi-ming's talent. It was their fault.

However, Hongkong Land is different.

Su Cheng does not think that Hongkong Land is stronger than himself. Even Jardine Matheson, the boss of Hongkong Land, is not his opponent in Su Cheng's view.

This is the confidence he has with tens of billions of cash in his hands.

Although he has been investing and spending a lot of money during this period, if Su Cheng is asked to take out 10 billion Hong Kong dollars now, he can really take it out at any time.

After all, although he is constantly investing, Hutchison Whampoa and the Su Group are constantly creating wealth for him. The speed of spending money is even slower than the speed of making money.

Jardine Matheson combined with Hongkong Land is very strong? Still at a loss when faced with debts of billions of Hong Kong dollars.

Their fixed assets are indeed a lot, but the prerequisite is that they are willing to sell them to realize them. However, both Jardine Matheson and Hongkong Land have been guarding those assets and are not easily sold.

In the long run, Jardine Matheson and Hongkong Land's approach is correct, because their assets can increase many, many times in the future.

However, this also brings them a disadvantage, that is, insufficient corporate cash flow.

This is also the reason why they ultimately lost Wharf. If they had enough cash flow, how could Hongkong Land have lost control of Wharf so easily!

During this period, with the continuous increase of assets, Su Cheng's heart also began to swell.

However, at this time, Hongkong Land dared to directly poach his talent, and it was still the person in charge of Hutchison Whampoa Centre who had just been trained, which made him very unhappy.

What to do if you are unhappy? Deal with him!

How to deal with Hongkong Land Group?

Su Cheng has not thought of any way yet.

At this time, Hongkong Land Group had no idea that a small thought of poaching people would anger Su Cheng. (End of this chapter)
