Chapter 63 Meeting Wei Li for the first time
At 11pm on June 26th, Hong Kong time, a plane arrived over Hong Kong from a distance. After circling twice, it landed smoothly at Kai Tak Airport.
Stepping off the ramp of the airport, Sioux City took a deep breath. Even the air was fresher than in London.
It’s better to go here, this is the Chinese world, familiar culture, familiar language, familiar food.
And London is just a foreign world after all.
"Mr. Yang, you go and live at my house first, and then you can move there when you find a place to live." Su Cheng said with a smile.
"No need to trouble you, we and I can just stay in the hotel." Yang Chaoye shook his head and said.
Speaking of which, the two of them had only known each other for a few days.
"No trouble, I'm actually the only one in my house. Mr. Yang can settle down first and take a good rest. When he's ready, he can then join the Su Group." Su Cheng laughed. road.
After all, he is a sixty-year-old man, so he must be given a good rest.
"Since the boss has kindly invited me, it would be bad if I returned the invitation disrespectfully. Then I will trouble the boss." Yang Chaoye finally nodded in agreement.
There are many houses in the villas on Baijiadao, so Su Cheng doesn't care about giving them a room to live in temporarily.
Senior talents need to be treated with courtesy so that they can better help them make money!
After returning to the villa, Su Cheng asked the servant to arrange Yang Chaoye's room, then went to wash up and rest early.
The long journey was indeed very tiring. Looking at Zhong Chuhong, he was already exhausted and listless.
The next day, Su Cheng got up refreshed again. Today he did not go to the Su Group, but planned to go to the Tianyuan Building.
The current Su Group is just developing step by step as before. For the time being, there is nothing that requires his intervention.
But Tianyuan Company is different. During this period of time in the UK, Zhang Qizheng was arranged to do basically everything in Su City.
Now that I'm back, I naturally want to know about things over there.
Su Cheng did not take Zhong Chuhong with him, but took several bodyguards and went directly to Tianyuan Building.
It was a tiring journey, so let her rest more.
In the general manager’s office of Tianyuan Building, Su Cheng saw Zhang Qizheng who was busy.
During his time in London, Sioux City arranged a lot of work tasks for Zhang Qizheng. Therefore, although the Wharf is no longer in charge and Hutchison Whampoa has entered a low-key period, Zhang Qizheng's work has not been idle because of this. Come down.
"Boss, you are finally back." Zhang Qizheng smiled when he saw Su Cheng.
“Thank you for your hard work during this time.” Su Cheng said with a smile.
"Yes, by the way, boss, I just want to report to you the situation during this period:
1. We currently hold 49.3% of Hutchison Whampoa stock secretly, which means that together with the boss's Of that 16.5%, we control a total of 65.8% of Hutchison Whampoa's stocks. However, there are not many stocks on the stock market. If you want to continue to acquire, it is best to approach other shareholders;
2. Hutchison Whampoa Chairman Wei Li has always been afraid that we will interfere with Hutchison Whampoa's affairs, so he has contacted me privately several times. However, since you, boss, have not come back yet, I have held off for the time being without giving an accurate reply;
3. The acquisition of Cali Bank has been completed, and the transaction was finally completed for HK$16.5 million. For this reason, I specially recruited a general manager from another well-run bank to temporarily manage Cali Bank;
4 "The two oil companies have already reached an agreement on the acquisition and can sign the contract at any time." "Well, you've done a good job, and you won't be short of year-end bonus," Su Cheng nodded with satisfaction.
"Now that you are back, boss, would you like to go to Hutchison Whampoa? After all, it is strictly your property, boss." Zhang Qizheng said with a smile.
"Okay, let's go there." Su Cheng nodded.
Now it controls 65.8% of Hutchison Whampoa, and is not far away from the conditions for 75% privatization.
So, if you really want to privatize Hutchison Whampoa, it is necessary to secretly acquire more shares from several shareholders.
At present, the total market value of Hutchison Whampoa's stock market is around HK$2 billion, and the previous highest stock price of Hutchison Whampoa even reached a terrifying HK$7.243 billion.
That was in March 1973. Five years have passed in the blink of an eye, but Hutchison's share price has dropped by HK$5 billion.
Sioux City does not need to use the form of listing the company to arbitrage money in the stock market, so the delisting of Hutchison Whampoa is very necessary.
Central, Hutchison Whampoa headquarters.
Due to the advance phone call, when Su Cheng and Zhang Qizheng arrived, Wei Li was already waiting for them.
British-funded companies in Hong Kong like to locate their headquarters in Central, and Hutchison Whampoa is no exception, because building its headquarters in Central is closer to the Government House.
"Hello, Mr. Wei Li, this is my boss, Mr. Su Cheng." As soon as they met, Zhang Qizheng introduced Su Cheng to Wei Li.
The two had met before, but it was difficult for him to make a decision without Su Cheng around.
Weili looked at Su Cheng in surprise, he was so young.
"Hello, Mr. Su, please come to my office." Wei Li did not say much. This is the lobby of Hutchison Whampoa's headquarters. It is very inconvenient to speak here.
As the head coach of Hutchison Whampoa, Wei Li has a very high prestige in the group. After all, he is able to turn a large company with serious losses into profit, so he certainly has a lot of ability.
After the three of them sat down, Wei Li couldn't wait to ask: "I wonder what Mr. Su thinks about Hutchison Whampoa?"
Wei Li is a capable person, otherwise Hutchison Whampoa is unlikely to get better and better under his management. At this time, he is very worried that Su Cheng, the group's major shareholder, will come in and point fingers, which will disrupt his business plan.
"Mr. Wei Li, please rest assured that I have no intention of interfering too much with Hutchison Whampoa. However, as the major shareholder of Hutchison Whampoa, all profits and losses of the group will involve my interests, so I will be responsible for Hutchison Whampoa." Executive director, isn't that too much?" Su Cheng said with a smile.
"Of course, Mr. Su serves as the executive director, which is reasonable and compliant. I will convene the board of directors on this matter tomorrow, and Mr. Su can take up the post then." Wei Li heard that Su Cheng said that he would not interfere too much Work, and the responsibilities in my heart were temporarily let go.
Previously, Shen Bi served concurrently as the executive director of Hutchison Whampoa. After all, Shen Bi was the chief executive of Huifeng Bank, and Huifeng Bank was the majority shareholder of Hutchison Whampoa at that time. Now that Huifeng Bank has sold its shares to Sioux City, this The position was naturally inherited by Su Cheng.
At this time, Wei Li didn't know that Hutchison Whampoa was actually completely controlled by Su City. He thought that the Hutchison Whampoa shares in Su City's hands were only sold to him by Huifeng Bank. What about 22.4%.
"Chairman Wei has managed the group so well, so naturally I will not interfere randomly. As the major shareholder of Hutchison Whampoa, how could I have trouble with money?" Su Cheng said with a smile.
