Chapter 22 Mr. Su is really scheming
"Mr. Bao, actually it's not impossible for me to sell all the Wharf stocks to you, but I also have a request." Su Cheng smiled slightly.
"Oh? Please tell me, Mr. Su." The chartering king didn't expect that he couldn't impress them even though he offered such a high price, and he still had to raise conditions?
“Actually, we just met with Jardine Chairman Twisted Bijian two days ago. Before that, he personally called us many times, hoping to buy the stocks in our hands.” Su Cheng drank a cup of tea and said slowly.
“This is expected. Wharf has always been an industry controlled by Land and Land, and Land is a group under Jardine Matheson. Seeing that their industry is not guaranteed, they will naturally be anxious, but , I really want to know, what price did they pay to Mr. Su?" The chartered king said calmly.
Since Su Cheng and the others were invited to come, it naturally meant that they had not reached an agreement with Jardine Chairman Tuo Bijian before.
“Actually, we directly offered 150 Hong Kong dollars per share, which immediately pissed off Nie Bijian.” Su Cheng said with a smile, and he was not telling lies.
"Aren't you just taking advantage of the situation? Besides, the Wharf is not worth the price at all. I would be pissed off too." After hearing Su Cheng's words, the Chartering King was a little surprised.
“Because from now on, I have never planned to sell Wharf to Jardine. As for whether to sell it to Mr. Bao, as long as you agree to me a condition, the Wharf stocks in my hand will be I can sell them all to you, and with this condition, Mr. Bao won’t lose anything!” Su Cheng said with a smile.
"Oh? Mr. Su, just say it directly, and stop beating around the bush." The Charter King was even more curious.
"I'm attracted to Hutchison Whampoa!" Su Cheng said calmly.
"Hutchison Whampoa is currently in the hands of Huifeng Bank. Does Mr. Su want to acquire the Hutchison Whampoa stocks held by Huifeng Bank?" The chartering king suddenly realized.
The reason why the chartering king was successful was actually related to the close relationship he established with the British-funded enterprise Huifeng Bank. At the beginning, the chartering king only borrowed money from Huifeng Bank. Later, as he The scale of the Global Shipping Group in his hands is getting bigger and bigger, and the relationship between the chartering king and Huifeng Bank has developed from a simple loan relationship to a close relationship of joint investment.
As the relationship between the charter king and Huifeng Bank became closer and closer, he even became a director of Huifeng Bank.
Huifeng Bank also controls a lot of shares in Global Shipping Group. It can be said that although they work independently, they are actually a family.
In other words, in Huifeng Bank, the chartering king has a certain say in matters.
"Yes, as long as Mr. Bao can help me get Hutchison Whampoa, I will sell you all the Wharf stocks in my hand." Su Cheng nodded.
“This is not easy.” The Charter King said with a headache.
“Actually, it’s not that difficult. As far as I know, when Hutchison Whampoa was under the custody of Huifeng Bank, it promised that it would not always control Hutchison Whampoa, but would find a A suitable manager. As a close partner of Huifeng Bank, Mr. Bao must know these things better than me. I think I am the most suitable manager," Su Cheng continued with a smile.
“But after all, I am only a director of Huifeng Bank. Although I can help and make some suggestions, and I can also talk to Shen Bi privately, I don’t think I have such a big decision-making power. Interfering with Huifeng Bank's future plans," the chartered king said, shaking his head. "This is enough. After a while, Huifeng Bank may come to me. I will talk to Mr. Shen Bi about this matter at that time. And I am very sure that Mr. Shen Bi will seriously consider this matter in the end." We may even convene a shareholders' meeting to discuss the matter, and Mr. Bao will only need to give enough support to sell Hutchison Whampoa to me," Su Cheng said with a smile.
"Oh? Why did Mr. Su think that Mr. Shen Bi would come to you?" The chartering king became curious again.
“After all, Huifeng Bank is a British-owned enterprise, and Jardine Matheson is also a British-owned enterprise. There must be mutual cooperation between them. If Jardine Matheson is unwilling to give up Wharf, they can’t help us. If you can buy Wharf stocks here, you can only turn to Mr. Shen Bi, and Mr. Shen Bi, considering that we are all British-owned enterprises, will help persuade you. Isn't this normal?" Su Cheng laughed. road.
"Although Mr. Su is young, he is really scheming. Such long-term things have been planned in advance. I suddenly feel that the probability of you winning Hutchison Whampoa is still very high." Charter King Thoroughly Impressed.
"Huifeng Bank must be coming soon. By then, Mr. Bao will know whether I can convince Mr. Shen Bi. To be honest, I have no intention of controlling Wharf, but if I want to sell it, I have to Sell it to the right person. The British-funded consortium has been domineering in Hong Kong these years. It is time for Chinese-funded enterprises to rise. So if I choose between Jardine Matheson and Mr. Bao, I will naturally prefer Mr. Bao. "Su Cheng laughed.
If it continues to operate properly secretly, based on the Hutchison Whampoa stocks and Wharf stocks currently controlled by Sioux City, it is indeed possible to acquire both Wharf and Hutchison Whampoa for its own use in the near future, but the reason why Sioux City chose the second choice First, there is another very important reason for the final decision to choose Hutchison Whampoa over Wharf.
The business world is a very complex world. If Su Cheng is so greedy and wants to swallow everything up, he is destined to be suppressed by other big guys. Such a result is not what Su Cheng wants to see.
He is still in the stage of development. There is an idiom that goes like this: outnumbered. Su Cheng just doesn’t want to be such a standout right now!
Doing anything without worrying about the consequences is not brave, nor is it exciting, it is brainless!
When doing things, you should not rush for success, but seek progress while maintaining stability.
Moreover, no matter what role you play in life, you need friends. Otherwise, how lonely you will be!
The same goes for doing business, connections are key.
When he develops and becomes a big boss in everyone's eyes and no longer cares about other people's opinions, that's when he can stand on the top of the mountain alone and look at the small mountains.
“I, Bao, am truly honored to be given special treatment by a talent like Mr. Su. In this case, I am here to wait for the good news from Mr. Su. I wish us a happy cooperation!” The Chartering King raised his hand With the teacup in his hand, he said to Su Cheng.
"Happy cooperation!" Substituting tea for wine, Su Cheng and Zhang Qizheng each picked up their teacups and clinked together.
Zhang Qizheng found that it seemed difficult for him to get a word in when his boss was around.
Fortunately, the boss doesn't like to do everything by himself, otherwise Zhang Qizheng would feel that he, the general manager of Tianyuan Investment Management Company, would be superfluous.
