Chapter 71 This is definitely a threat!
“How is this possible?” Brandt looked at the transfer contract in front of him and was extremely surprised.
Logically, a person as unknown as Sioux City should have no interaction with Mr. Brown Ogden.
Even if he knew him, Mr. Brown Ogden shouldn't sell the stock to him, right?
However, the transfer contract in front of them forced them to believe that this was true.
"How's it going? Do you still think I can't take over Hutchison Whampoa?" Su Cheng said with a smile.
38.9% of the stocks, although not an absolute controlling stake, are already able to control Hutchison Whampoa.
Because if Sioux City had not secretly absorbed Hutchison Whampoa’s stocks for so many years, most of them would still be in the hands of ordinary shareholders, and these ordinary shareholders would not normally be on the market, that is to say, they would have no voting rights at all. .
"I have to admit that Mr. Su really surprised me. Mr. Su is indeed very capable of buying the Hutchison Whampoa shares held by Mr. Brown Ogden and others." Brandt now began to take today's discussion seriously.
Before coming, they had never thought that Su City would want to buy the stocks in their hands. At most, they thought they wanted to get their support on the board of directors.
However, what is now in front of them is that Su City not only wants to buy their stocks, but also has the power to control Hutchison Whampoa.
In other words, even if they object, Sioux City has the ability to kick out the management team led by Wei Li from Hutchison Whampoa.
As a result, they feel that Hutchison Whampoa will definitely decline in the future. Under such circumstances, if they continue to hold Hutchison Whampoa's shares, it will turn from a sweet potato into a hot potato.
“Speaking of which, Mr. Brown Ogden is still a good friend of mine.” Su Cheng said with a smile.
The five people looked at each other for a moment, and Brandt spoke up again: "Mr. Su, indeed, I didn't expect that you would have such courage to completely master Hutchison Whampoa. Now it seems that this has basically been achieved. Yes, it is okay to sell the stock to you, but it is impossible for 6 Hong Kong dollars. Whether it is Huifeng Bank or Mr. Brown Ogden and others, the price of the transaction with you is 7.5 Hong Kong dollars per share. If our stock is sold below this price If I give it to you, wouldn’t it mean that we are easy to bully?”
"What? Do you also want to sell it to me at HK$7.5 per share?" Su Cheng said with a smile.
"Of course, Mr. Su, if you really want to buy our shares, be sincere. At HK$7.5 per share, I am willing to sell you all the Hutchison shares in my hands." Claire said.
"Me too, if the price is lower than HK$7.5, then there is no possibility for us to continue talking today." Brandt said.
Obviously, they are worried about the future of Hutchison Whampoa and have already thought of selling their shares.
However, they are not willing to sell it at a low price.
Since the price sold by Huifeng Bank is HK$7.5, and the price sold by Mr. Brown Ogden and others is also HK$7.5, when it comes to them, it can only be sold for HK$6, which they cannot accept in any case.
"7.5 Hong Kong dollars per share is not impossible, but if all of you sell to me, I can still buy it at this price. If any of you are unwilling to sell, then I can only Acquired at a price of HK$6.
By the way, a warm reminder, I will take over Hutchison Whampoa in a week at most. At that time, Hutchison Whampoa will be my final decision. It's me who has the final say. As for how to develop, I haven't decided yet," Su Cheng said with a smile.
However, Su Cheng's smile made them, who had been in the mall for many years, feel a little eerie.
This is definitely a threat, a threat from Chi Guoguo, but there is nothing they can do.
If Su Cheng comes to power, whether it is the board of directors or the shareholders' meeting, it will become a decoration. When the time comes, Su Cheng's one will be one, and two will be two.
What kind of future does Hutchison Whampoa have? It's not that they don't believe in Su Cheng, it's just that Su Cheng is too young.
How many years can such a huge enterprise be managed by such a young person?
It would be a good opportunity to quit now if there is a chance.
"By the way, I'll give you some time to discuss. Let's go out first. I'll let you discuss it carefully here. It's up to you whether to sell it or not. Anyway, I will take over Hutchison Hutchison, whether you sell it or not. As for whether to oust Wei Li and manage Hutchison Whampoa personally, it all depends on my mood. "
When you see them, you look at me and I look at you. Su Cheng called Zhang Qizheng. Exit the negotiation room and sit in the office outside to wait.
"Mr. Zhang, do you think they will sell the stocks?" Su Cheng asked Zhang Qizheng with a smile.
“Boss, this is too obvious. If they don’t sell it now, these stocks may be rotten in their hands in the future. If Hutchison Whampoa collapses in the future, all the stocks they hold will become useless. There is a pile of useless waste paper. In this situation, you would be a fool not to sell it." Zhang Qizheng laughed.
At the same time, he admired Su Cheng more and more.
Not everyone can play this kind of cool operation.
In the negotiation room, several people have already entered into the discussion.
"Those who are willing to sell, raise your hands." Brandt said, and after speaking, he raised his hands.
Then, two more people raised their hands one after another.
The remaining two shareholders, you look at me, I look at you, finally decided to follow the team and raised their hands.
Everyone has sold, and if there are only two of them left, it is obvious that they will be completely isolated in the end, and the stocks they hold will be of no use.
Want to wait for dividends? What if Hutchison Whampoa Group suffers losses for consecutive years?
"In that case, let's call them in." Brandt sighed.
Hutchison & Co., Ltd. was once in the hands of Qi Dezun, and it jumped from a third-rate foreign company to one of the four major foreign companies in Hong Kong. That was their glory, and they all came from Qi Dezun's era to the present. For Hutchison , is very affectionate, but now, he has to abandon Hutchison.
When disaster strikes, we all fly away. No matter how emotional we are, we still have to consider our own interests.
"Mr. Su, we are willing to sell Hutchison Whampoa shares to you for HK$7.5 per share." Within five minutes of Su Cheng leaving, Brandt opened the door of the negotiation room and said to him.
"Okay, congratulations to everyone, you can get a huge sum of money again. I will let the lawyer finalize the transfer contract." Su Cheng said with satisfaction.
HK$7.5 is his bottom line. After all, trading at this price, Hutchison Whampoa’s total market value is only about HK$3 billion.
In fact, Hutchison Whampoa’s assets alone are worth 5.8 billion, so Sioux City is still making a lot of money from trading at this price.
"Okay, then we will cooperate happily!" Brandt nodded and said.
Now that the matter has come to this, there is no need to delay it. On the contrary, the faster the transaction is done, the more relieved they will be.
