Chapter 45 Mr. Su has a lot of cash flow in his hands!
In the afternoon, Sioux City set off again to visit Brown Ogden’s estate.
This time, since it was a private meeting between the two, the manor was very quiet.
"Mr. Su, please sit down." In the same reception room as yesterday, Brown Ogden gestured with his hand.
“I’m disturbing Mr. Brown again.” Su Cheng said with a smile.
"Mr. Su said yesterday that he wants to cooperate with me on a big business. I wonder what Mr. Su is referring to?" Brown Ogden spoke very directly.
In fact, if people of their status don't make things clear for the sake of Chu Xuanyu and the special birthday gift Su Cheng gave him last night, It was not easy for Su Cheng to get an appointment with him.
"Let me make a long story short. I heard Mr. Brown say yesterday that you own 6.4% of the shares of Hutchison Whampoa, a listed company in Hong Kong, and you have been looking for opportunities to sell it. In fact, I am running for it today. This happened." Su Cheng took a sip of hot coffee and smiled.
"Oh? Are you interested in Hutchison Whampoa?" Brown Ogden asked in surprise.
“Actually, I am not interested in Hutchison Whampoa, but in Wharf. However, Mr. Brown should also know that in the current Hong Kong, British-owned enterprises almost dominate the sky with one hand. When the warehouse was used for its own use, Jardine Group wanted to stop our actions, so they called Huifeng Bank to persuade me.
Under this situation, if I really insist on getting the controlling stake of Wharf, I will definitely offend the British-funded consortium in Hong Kong. Therefore, after careful consideration, I chose to give up Wharf and plan to re-invest and control a listed company. .
In order to acquire Wharf, I started planning five years ago. At that time, I didn’t have much funds in hand, so I could only slowly absorb Wharf’s shares in the stock market. As I make more and more money. Until this year, I finally became the major shareholder of Wharf. I originally thought that I would finally get my wish, but it turned out that things were not as simple as I thought. "Su Cheng said with a wry smile.
In front of these foreigners, you have to be reserved. Su Cheng doesn't want to tell everything.
"I didn't expect Mr. Su to have such an experience. Mr. Su should be in his early twenties, right? Did you start planning five years ago? "Brown Ogden said with some surprise.
"Yes Mr. Brown, I am currently 22 years old. 5 years ago, I received a fund of one million Hong Kong dollars. Through this first fund in these years, I continued to invest, and the funds available in my hands increased many times. As long as I made money over the years, I would use a sum of money to secretly increase my holdings of Wharf stocks. Unexpectedly, when I was about to succeed, I still fell short. "Su Cheng shook his head and sighed.
"As far as I know, the market value of Wharf is quite large. From 1 million Hong Kong dollars to now controlling 23% of the stock, Mr. Su is also an extraordinary person!" After hearing this, Brown Ogden was even more excited. for shock.
Profiting once or twice may be due to luck, but from a million dollars to hundreds of millions of assets, it must have gone through countless successes to get to this point. This cannot be said to be simple. It depends not on luck, but on actual strength.
“It’s just good luck.” Su Cheng smiled.
“So, Mr. Su is now planning to choose Hutchison Whampoa as his next target?” Brown Ogden asked with a smile, not bothering with Su City about luck.
"If possible, since the Wharf cannot be used for my own use, I happened to hear Mr. Brown mention Hutchison Whampoa yesterday, and then I came up with the idea of Hutchison Whampoa. Naturally, I want to control it. Hutchison Whampoa, it's just too difficult. After all, Hutchison Whampoa is now controlled by Huifong Bank. If you want to control Hutchison Whampoa, you have to take over the part of Huifeng Bank for your own use, but it is even more difficult than Wharf. , So, my current goal is to become the second largest shareholder first, and then slowly develop." Su Cheng thought for a while and said.
"If Mr. Su wants to acquire the Hutchison Whampoa shares in my hands, I wonder what price Mr. Su can offer? If it is based on the price on the stock market, I have no intention of selling it." Brown Ogden said bluntly.
“I wonder what Mr. Brown thinks of the future development prospects of Xiangjiang?” Su Cheng asked without directly stating his bottom line.
"What are the future development prospects of Xiangjiang? In fact, I don’t know much about Xiangjiang, and I don’t have many industries in Xiangjiang. However, I have encountered many British-funded consortiums that have successively started from Xiangjiang divests investment. It seems that they are not very optimistic about Xiangjiang's future." Brown Ogden thought for a while and then said. "Not only the British-funded consortium, but to some extent, even we Chinese are a little worried. To be honest with Mr. Brown, I came to London this time to prepare to invest heavily in Europe. For this reason, I have been here in these two days. , I have negotiated a price with the seller and am about to purchase a 21-story commercial building worth 10 million pounds. By then, I will vigorously develop business in London. This is why Uncle Chu brought me to your birthday party yesterday. " Su Cheng said with a smile.
If you want Brown Ogden to rush to sell his stocks, but also want him not to raise random prices, then Brown Ogden can only make Brown Ogden full of worries about the future of Xiangjiang. , in this way, he will be even more impatient to dispose of the Hutchison Whampoa stocks in his hands.
"Why did Mr. Su acquire Hutchison Whampoa's shares since he was not optimistic about Xiangjiang's future prospects?" Brown Ogden asked rhetorically.
As expected of a boss, he is not that easy to coax.
“After all, it is my hometown, and I cannot give up so easily. Moreover, if I just hold Hutchison Whampoa, it will not even cost 100 million pounds. I think it is a good deal. "Su Cheng said with a smile, but his words were also full of domineering meaning.
Currently, Huifeng Bank holds 22.4% of Hutchison Whampoa's shares, and already controls Hutchison Whampoa. If converted to 100 million pounds, it would be 900 million Hong Kong dollars, which is indeed not worth 100 million pounds.
"It seems that Mr. Su has a lot of cash flow in his hands." Brown Ogden became more and more surprised.
"Then I don't know what price Mr. Brown intends to sell it for. You can make a price. If it's suitable, I will purchase it directly and the funds will be transferred to you on the day the contract is signed." Su Cheng said directly.
At this time, Brown Ogden became silent.
He was thinking about how much price he should sell it to Su City.
He knew the price on the stock market. In the past few months, it had been fluctuating around 5 Hong Kong dollars.
But if he sells it at this price, he won't make much profit.
"How about this, Mr. Su, let's make a premium of half the transaction price based on the stock market price of HK$5 per share." Brown Ogden thought for a long time and finally said.
What a coincidence, the price he mentioned was actually the transaction price agreed between himself and Shen Bi.
Maybe this is God’s will.
"Mr. Brown, this price is a bit high. After all, you only hold 6.4% of the stock in your hands. It would be better if it were more. I only buy this 6.4%. The price is still so high, and it has little practical significance. Well, then I might as well slowly buy it on the stock market," Su Cheng said directly.
“Don’t worry, I have two friends who worked with me to raise funds for Hutchison Whampoa. Now, one of them holds 5.3% of the stock and the other holds 4.8% of the stock. If Mr. Su If you agree to this price, I am confident that they will sell you all their Hutchison Whampoa stocks!" Brown Ogden laughed.
Su Cheng once again received unexpected news.
