Chapter 42 Unexpected Harvest
Today’s Jodie Foster is still a young girl, full of youthful spirit, and naturally cannot be as sophisticated as later generations.
At this time, Chu Xuanyu came over and said to Su Cheng with a smile in Xiangjiang dialect: "Xiao Su, I didn't expect you to be really good at picking up a girl so quickly."
< br>Hearing the sound, Jodie Foster let go of Su Cheng with a blush.
However, hugging is very common in the UK, so in the eyes of people around you, this is just a normal scene.
"Let me introduce to you, this is one of my uncles." Su Cheng introduced to Jodie Foster with a smile.
"Hello, uncle." Jodie Foster called politely.
“I’m not disturbing you young people’s chat, are you?” Chu Xuanyu asked with a smile.
"That's not true. Have Uncle Chu finished chatting with his friends?" Su Cheng shook his head and asked.
"I came to see you because the birthday banquet is about to start in half an hour. Before it starts, I plan to take you to visit the owner of this manor, London's super-rich Brown O. Mr. Gordon." Chu Xuanyu said.
"Okay, I'll bother Uncle Chu." After saying that, Su Cheng said goodbye to Jodie Foster.
“This is my address and phone number during my stay in London and my phone number in this beautiful country. You must contact me when you are free. Also, on the night of the concert, you were waiting for me at the exit. After the end, I wanted to Treat you to a midnight snack." Jodie Foster quickly wrote two phone calls and handed them to Sioux City.
"This is my business card. You can contact me if you need anything." Su Cheng smiled and took out a business card. The phone number written on it was the phone number of his Xiangjiang villa.
"I didn't expect that you are really good at picking up girls. That girl just now is so beautiful, she is even better than the most popular celebrities today, and it seems that she has a very good impression of you." Chu Xuanyu smiled.
"No way, it's just that we are not much different in age and have common topics." Su Cheng shook his head.
Su Cheng followed Chu Xuanyu and soon arrived at an independent living room.
Inside, middle-aged and elderly people were sitting, seemingly chatting about something.
Seeing Chu Xuanyu walk in, several people also stood up. The person in charge smiled and said: "Mr. Chu, long time no see."
"Yes, long time no see. I've been a little busy lately and haven't had time to drink tea and chat with Mr. Brown Ogden." Chu Xuanyu stepped forward and shook hands with him.
Listening to the chat messages between them, and then through Chu Xuanyu introducing their identities to Su Cheng in Xiangjiang dialect, Su Cheng discovered that everyone here was a business tycoon with considerable assets. For example, the richest man Brown Ogden is worth more than one billion.
This billion is not Hong Kong dollars, but pounds. In other words, if you multiply this by 9, it will be more than 10 billion Hong Kong dollars. If this is in Hong Kong, only the chartering king can compare with him in terms of personal assets. .
As for the others, the lowest net worth is hundreds of millions of pounds.
Before, Su Cheng didn’t know much about his Uncle Chu. Now, he found that he still seemed to underestimate this Uncle Chu.
The difference in strength is too big, it is impossible to integrate into their circle.
At this time, Brown Ogden looked at Su Cheng and asked Chu Xuanyu with a smile: "Is this your junior?"
"Hello everyone, let me introduce myself. I am the chairman of Xiangjiang Su Group and the major shareholder of Xiangjiang Wharf Group. I am also the junior of Uncle Chu Xuanyu." Su Cheng introduced himself politely.
"I know Wharf. Isn't this a listed company controlled by Jardine Matheson Group? How come you became the major shareholder of Wharf?" Brown Ogden asked in surprise.
The Jardine Matheson Group is also very famous in the UK. After all, they are all large enterprises controlled by British-funded consortiums. "I know this. Some time ago, there was a press release in the financial news saying that the position of the major shareholder of Wharf, owned by Jardine Matheson in Hong Kong, was taken away by an unknown company called Tianyuan Investment Company. I heard that it was going to compete with Jardine. Could it be that you are the man behind Wharf's controlling stake?" a big boss said in surprise.
The connection between Xiangjiang and Britain is very close, so if anything big happens in Xiangjiang, it will be reported to London.
As for the Su Group, its scale is not bad in Hong Kong, but from an international perspective, it is just an unknown company, so they simply ignored the identity of the chairman of the Su Group in Su City.
Big guys like to read newspapers and pay attention to international events, so it is normal to know about Wharf.
“Yes, it’s me.” Su Cheng admitted with a smile.
If you want to be respected by these people, you have to show your strength. Otherwise, others will just treat you as a junior and be polite to you on the surface, but then they will not recognize you.
So, Su Cheng simply showed some strength.
"Mr. Su is really young and promising, I am disrespectful." Brown Ogden took the initiative to shake Su Cheng's hand and praised him.
Being able to create such a record at such a young age really has to impress them.
Who among you here has not worked hard for most of your life to achieve what you are today!
As for those consortia that rely on the joint development of many businessmen, even if they are all-powerful in business, they are not worthy of their admiration.
A person fighting alone is better than a gang of you beating each other up. Anyone with a discerning eye will know which one is more powerful.
"Fortunately, the world is full of opportunities. Everyone has a chance to succeed. I just happened to find my own way of development." Su Cheng said modestly.
After getting to know each other, they started chatting about business matters again.
Su Cheng didn't interrupt much. After all, he and they didn't know each other well, so it was impossible to talk about so many things.
“Speaking of which, I also own 6.4% of the shares of Hutchison Whampoa in Hong Kong. I have been wanting to sell them over the years, but the stock price is too low and it is difficult to find a successor.” Brown Ogden Some sighed.
Everyone was chatting, and because of the appearance of Su Cheng, they went to Xiangjiang.
Since the future of Xiangjiang is subject to negotiations, it is really confusing and there are too many uncertainties. Therefore, many British consortiums or individual investors have chosen to withdraw from Xiangjiang in order to reduce risks.
Brown Ogden also has this idea, because he wants to withdraw his funds and focus on investing in Europe. However, it is not easy to sell the Hutchison Whampoa stocks in his hands. He should find a British consortium, they are not interested. Find a Chinese-funded consortium, they may not be able to get so much money.
At this time, Sioux City's eyes lit up when he heard Brown Ogden's words. This was a good opportunity to increase Hutchison Whampoa's stock!
6.4% of the shares are actually not that small. Among the shareholders of Hutchison Whampoa, it is already ranked in the top five.
If you get these 6.4% of the stocks, plus the stocks you own and the initial stock transfer agreement with Huifeng Bank, it will already exceed 50%.
In other words, when he can officially announce the cooperation with Huifeng Bank, he will already have absolute control of Hutchison Whampoa.
I really came at the right time this time, this news is really unexpected.
