Chapter 29 Do you want Hutchison Whampoa?
"Well, let's get back to the topic. Mr. Shen Bi has been asking me how I want to give up Wharf. To be honest, I have plans to control Wharf. After all, who owns Wharf? , who can control the most important cargo handling and warehousing business in Xiangjiang?
Why does Mr. Shen Bi think that I will give up competing with Jardine? You know, I started planning five years ago. This matter, until today, I have paid a lot, and the Wharf stocks I own have completely surpassed the stocks held by Land, and I have become the largest shareholder of Wharf. To give up so easily, if Mr. Shen Bi stood From my point of view, what would you do?"
Su Cheng asked again. It was naturally impossible for him to say that he was not interested in Wharf.
This is a very real question. After working hard for so long, just for the sake of you, do you want to give up?
Before Shen Bi could answer, the phone on his desk rang, so he said to Su Cheng and others: "Sorry, I'll answer the phone first."
"Mr. Chairman, Mr. Bao is here and wants to see you." This is the call from the front desk of Huifeng Bank Headquarters.
"Let him come to my office." Shen Bi said, and then hung up the phone.
"How did he come here by chance?" Shen Bi said to himself.
Of course Su Cheng informed him to come over.
If Shen Bi wants to successfully sell Hutchison Whampoa to him, Charter King is the key.
Not long after, the charter king came to Shen Bi's office.
As soon as he entered the door, the boat charter king said with a smile: "Mr. Shen Bi, are you not disturbing you?"
"Not at all. Mr. Bao, please sit down and I will ask someone to give it to you. Serve tea." Shen Bi shook his head and said with a smile, he knew that the boat charter king liked to drink tea.
The chartered king sat down and said, "I heard that Mr. Su is here, so I came here specially."
The Charter King and Shen Bi have been working together for many years, and their relationship is naturally very good, and they talk more casually.
It can be said that if a Hong Kong rich list were published in this era, the chartering king would definitely be the richest man in Hong Kong. Otherwise, Shen Bi would not respect him. Of course, they are also friends of the same generation.
The richest man in Hong Kong of the previous generation still had to track down Mr. Ho Tung, who had passed away long ago, and the chartering king can be regarded as the richest man of the second generation in Hong Kong.
After hearing what the Charter King said, Shen Bi was stunned, understood instantly, and asked: "Mr. Bao, are you here for the Wharf?"
He didn't go either. Ask the charter king why he knows Su City is here. After all, every big boss has his own channels to find out some information. Isn’t it normal for the charter king to know that Su City is here?
"Of course, this is the best opportunity to control the Wharf. Mr. Shen Bi, I don't need to say more about the importance of the Wharf. If our Global Shipping Group owns the Wharf and combines sea and land, its strength will definitely be doubled. As one of the shareholders of our Global Shipping Group, Huifeng Bank, I believe Mr. Shen Bi does not want to miss such a good opportunity, right? This can directly involve the interests of Huifeng Bank, and it is urgent for Global Shipping Group to change its investment plan!" The charter king said directly.
In the past, Wharf was in the hands of Jardine Matheson, and Global Shipping Group had no chance to control it, but it is different now. If the stocks in Sioux City's hands are obtained, there is indeed a high probability that Wharf will be controlled Take it.
The relationship between Global Shipping Group and Huifeng Bank can be said to be complicated. Since the development of Global Shipping Group, Huifeng Bank has become the second largest shareholder of Global Shipping Group, and the chartering king has also become The shareholders of Huifeng Bank are also members of the board of directors of Huifeng Bank.
Not only do they hold shares in each other, but they also often invest together. This shows how close the relationship between the two companies is. In other words, this involves the interests of the chartered ship king and, indirectly, the interests of Huifeng Bank.
Su Cheng listened to them silently.
Shen Bi thought for a while, turned around and asked Su Cheng directly: "If Mr. Bao's Global Shipping Group wants to acquire Mr. Su's Wharf shares, what are Mr. Su's requirements?"
At this time, Yihe's request for him to be the middleman had already been thrown out of his mind.
It is better to take advantage of others than to make yourself easier.
This is the cruelty of capitalists. If their own interests are not involved, they can naturally help others and get favors anyway. But once they find that they can profit from it, they will take it directly from them without hesitation.
Who is Yihe's favor?
"Mr. Shen Bi and Mr. Bao, it will be very difficult for me to do this. Wharf, I have been observing it for 5 years. I cannot give up so easily unless there is a company that can Let me choose the replacement target!" Su Cheng shook his head and said.
"Mr. Su, I know that if you are asked to give up Wharf just like this, you will not give up casually just because of us. But our Global Shipping Group really needs Wharf. Mr. Su, even though Just make your request and we will try our best to satisfy you."
At this time, he had already started acting with the charter king, as if the two parties had never met before.
These were discussed with Su Cheng later when he was at the boat chartering king’s house.
For the charter king, as long as he can get the Wharf, what if Hutchison Whampoa in the hands of Huifeng Bank is given to Sioux City? Anyway, although he also holds equity in Huifeng Bank, it is not a large amount, and the interests involved with him are not very large. What does Bao have to do with him?
“I heard that Huifeng Bank promised when it first took control of Hutchison International that once Hutchison International returned to profitability, Huifeng Bank would sell Hutchison International at the appropriate time, Shen Bi Sir, am I right? If Mr. Bao and Mr. Shen Bi want Global Shipping Group to acquire the Wharf stocks in my hands, I hope Huifeng Bank will sell me the Hutchison Whampoa stocks, so that I can at least Multiple choices." Su Cheng finally stated his goal.
Huifeng Bank promised that once Hutchison International returns to profitability, Huifeng Bank will sell Hutchison International at the appropriate time. This was not something Su Cheng said himself, but Shen Bi publicly accepted it. Everyone who paid attention to Hutchison International events at the time knows what was said in the interview.
So, there is nothing wrong with Su Cheng mentioning this matter.
“You want Hutchison Whampoa?” Shen Bi was stunned again.
Today, according to the plan, he just wanted to help Yihe mediate and make Yihe owe him a favor.
However, things are getting more and more complicated now.
For Hutchison Whampoa, he originally captured it in order to find a suitable buyer and sell it at a good price after turning losses into profits. However, he did not expect that the young man in front of him would... Actually wants to control Hutchison Whampoa.
