Chapter 346 Press Conference
After giving orders to Zhang Qizheng, Su Cheng thought for a while and called the charter king.
Wharf is now the charter king who has the final say. Since it has accepted the Wharf stocks of Jardine Matheson and Land, it is better to say good things to the charter king.
Unlike the boss in Su City who is used to being a hands-off shopkeeper, the Charter King will basically be in his office during working hours unless he is on a business trip or has to attend some meetings or events. .
So, when Su Cheng called the charter king, the charter king quickly answered the phone.
"Mr. Bao, I have already negotiated the Wharf stocks of Jardine Matheson and will take over all the Wharf stocks in their hands." Su Cheng said directly.
"This is really good news, then I will prepare a press conference for you." The Charter King was very happy after hearing the news from Su City.
Compared with Jardine Matheson's control of Wharf's stocks, he prefers Sioux City to control it.
After all, we are all Chinese. In this era when British capital is leading, the bosses of Chinese-funded companies are relatively united.
“It doesn’t have to be so grand, right?” Su Cheng said with a wry smile.
"Mr. Su, you really like to keep a low profile, but our Wharf is a listed company after all, and it was one of the top ten listed companies in Hong Kong last year. Changes in shareholders still need to be announced to the public, and now it is the change of the second largest shareholder. "It would be better to hold a press conference," the chartered king said with a smile.
Once the news of Sioux City's investment in Wharf was announced, from the chartering king's point of view, it was very good news for Wharf.
The stock price will definitely rise sharply in response, and investors will regain their confidence in Wharf.
In this way, if Wharf issues bonds when it is short of money, it will be able to quickly collect enough funds.
After all, everyone knows that Su Cheng is now recognized as the richest man in the world.
However, the equity he holds in Xiangjiang has been publicly announced. Both Su Group and Hutchison Whampoa Group have been completely privatized by him.
Moreover, Su Group and Hutchison Whampoa have both achieved rapid development after privatization.
Like the Su Group, with its current scale, if it were still on the stock market, the total stock market value would have increased at least several times.
As for Hong Kong Electric Group, although Tianyuan Company has mastered a lot of stocks, it has absorbed them secretly, and no one else knows about it.
Therefore, in the eyes of Xiangjiang citizens, any listed company favored by Su City must have great development potential.
This is the influence brought by the world's richest man. No one will question the vision of the world's richest man.
"Okay, after the transaction is completed, I will notify you separately, Mr. Bao, and you can make arrangements then." Su Cheng reluctantly agreed.
Now that he has completely become a public figure, it is inevitable to face interviews with media reporters. In this case, when it is unavoidable, he can only accept it.
After hanging up the phone with the Charter King, Su Cheng only had to wait for news.
On the other side, after Zhang Qizheng got the work assignment in Su City, he hurried to the Jardine headquarters building with the company's legal advisor.
Su Cheng and Nui Bijian had already negotiated the general content, so Zhang Qizheng came over to confirm the content of the transfer contract and sign it.
Wharf's stocks will be held by Tianyuan Investment Company, so Su Cheng does not need to come in person, only Zhang Qizheng, who is the general manager of Tianyuan Investment Company, needs to come.
The transfer contract was signed very quickly, with both parties interested in speeding things up. Afterwards, Zhang Qizheng transmitted the contract sample to the fax machine at his home in Su Cheng through the fax machine at Jardine.
After seeing the contract, Su Cheng read it over and then called the Clear Bank to arrange the remittance immediately.
Nowadays, the funds available to Su City have reached a terrifying 5 billion Hong Kong dollars. Therefore, 500 million Hong Kong dollars is not a big problem for Su City, and they can be transferred at any time.
At Jardine, after receiving the funds, the financial director immediately reported the news to Nie Bijian.
"Mr. Nie Bijian, I think you have received the money too, right?" Zhang Qizheng asked with a smile.
"I've received it. Your efficiency is very high." After getting the money, Tui Bijian felt much happier.
Although they lost the Wharf stock, the current Wharf stock is a hot potato for them. Who knows what policy the chartering king implemented to develop the Wharf after taking control of the Wharf? Now it is lost That's fine.
"Now that the deal is completed, I should prepare to go back. I hope we have a chance to cooperate next time." Zhang Qizheng smiled and shook hands with Nuibi.
After the transfer contract was signed, Nian Bijian also prepared the equity certificate for Wharf, so there was nothing else left to do.
This HK$500 million is the total sale price of the Wharf stocks held by Jardine Matheson Group and Land Group. The money was given to them by Sucheng. As for how Jardine Matheson Group and Land Group will divide this Money is a matter between their two companies.
With the equity certificate in hand, Zhang Qizheng went directly back to Tianyuan Investment Company with the company's legal advisor.
As for Su Cheng, he called the charter king again.
"Mr. Bao, I have already won the shares of Wharf, and now I am the second largest shareholder of Wharf." After the call was connected, Su Cheng said with a smile.
"Then we will be a family from now on." The Charter King laughed.
After getting to know Su Cheng over the past few months, he also knew some of Su Cheng's character.
I don’t like to interfere in the development of the company. Such shareholders are simply the best shareholders for the charter king.
Previously, after taking control of Wharf, Jardine Matheson and Land, although they had no decision-making power, they would always sing the opposite tune at shareholder meetings, which was disgusting.
Now, Jardine Matheson and Land have finally completely withdrawn from Wharf, which is a good thing for the charter king.
“It is my honor to work with Mr. Bao. As the world’s shipping king, I believe that Wharf will develop very well under Mr. Bao’s management. In the future, I plan to rely on Bao. Mr. Su Cheng said with a smile.
"It is an honor for me to run a company with Mr. Su, who is globally recognized as the world's richest man. When the time comes, you will have to give some tips on the Wharf Group's next development plan." The Charter King also smiled and complimented.
Business blowback is a normal thing at their level.
"By the way, Mr. Su, since it has been signed, I will hold a press conference at the Wharf Group headquarters at ten o'clock tomorrow morning. Mr. Su must arrive on time. Otherwise, I will be very embarrassed. After making the call, I will send someone to send the invitation letter immediately." The chartering king thought for a while and then continued.
Tomorrow is November 16th.
"Mr. Bao, please don't worry, I will be there on time to attend the press conference." Su Cheng nodded.
