Chapter 347 Inviting all the big guys
After hanging up the phone with Su Cheng, the Charter King immediately took action.
Now, he is the head monitor of Wharf, so he is naturally very concerned about Wharf affairs.
The development of Global Shipping Group was built from scratch by him. Except for major events, he did not need to deal with small matters at ordinary times.
Moreover, he also has several sons-in-law to help him take care of business, so now the chartering king has more time to deal with Wharf matters.
Since it is a press conference, it is natural to invite major media.
So, the chartering king directly wrote an invitation letter as a Wharf executive, then made several copies and asked his subordinates to deliver it.
The major media in Hong Kong are basically within his invitation range, such as Jiayi TV, TVB, Li's TV, Ming Pao, Oriental Daily, Chivalry News, Sin Chew Evening News, etc.
In addition, some reporters from major international media outlets based in Hong Kong were also placed on the invitation list by the charter king.
In his view, Sioux City's investment in Wharf and becoming its second largest shareholder is of great significance to the future development of Wharf, so this matter must be publicized grandly.
After taking care of these things, it’s not over yet.
He is going to invite some heavyweights over.
Shen Bi, the senior manager of Huifeng Bank, must be invited. He and Shen Bi have been partners for many years.
In addition, Mr. Li from Cheung Kong Holdings should also be invited. Although Mr. Li does not have enough positions now, he was able to control Wharf in the first place only because of Mr. Li's support and sold his Wharf shares. It was given to the chartered ship king, and then the chartered ship king really took over the Wharf.
Also, Governor Mailiho is also invited to come. Whether he will come or not is another matter.
However, with the current status of the Charter King, basically everyone invited will give him face, even Governor Maliho, unless of course Maliho has made any arrangements in advance.
Next, Swire Taipan Shi Yoke, Mr. Huo of Huojia Group, Li Zhaoji, Zheng Yutong, Guo Desheng, He Duwang, etc. all became his invitation targets.
Before Sioux City showed up, the Charter King could be said to be the richest man in Hong Kong.
Even if he does not have the title of World Shipping King, his status is very important in Xiangjiang.
The chartering king personally called and invited these people one by one.
Invited personally by the charter king, even if they have something to do the next day, they will postpone the matter.
So, after making all the phone calls, the Charter King got everyone's response. Except for Tui Bijian, everyone else will attend the press conference as a guest on time, including Xiangjiang. Mr. MacLehose, Governor-General.
Originally, MacLehose had an important government meeting to attend. If it was just an invitation from the charter king, he might refuse on the grounds of something else.
However, this press conference not only involves the world's shipping king, but also the world's richest man, which has to make MacLehose pay attention.
So, Mailihao issued an order directly and postponed the government meeting.
Guan Bijian would definitely not participate. He had also served as the chief executive of Wharf before. After being ousted by the Charter King, he had a strong opinion of the Charter King.
And now Su City got the stock from him, and it was obtained at a very low price, which is a shame for him and Jardine.
Under such circumstances, how can he lose face by attending this press conference?
So, he naturally refused the charter king’s invitation.
Su Cheng was teaching Gillian and A Mei how to play computer games at home. He had no idea that the boat charter king had actually made the matter so big that he invited almost all the business leaders in Hong Kong. Attended a press conference.
Time soon came to the morning of November 16th. At 8 o'clock in the morning, the charter king made another special call to Su City, reminding Su City to arrive at the press conference on time.
After all, the protagonist of this press conference is Su Cheng, and no one can do without him.
Otherwise, it would definitely be very embarrassing if everyone has arrived but Su Cheng, the protagonist, has not arrived yet.
So, at half past eight, Su Cheng went out directly and headed to the Wharf Group headquarters.
The Wharf headquarters is located in Tsim Sha Tsui, passing from Barker Road. Because it happened to be during the rush hour of commuting, it took nearly half an hour to reach the Wharf Group headquarters in Sioux City.
The Wharf Headquarters Building is a building with only a dozen floors in height. The building is slightly old and is very close to the Wharf Cargo Terminal and the Harbor City under construction.
Wharf was founded in 1886 and has a history of nearly a hundred years.
In the past, the Wharf industry was mainly about freight terminals. As the status of the terminal business is gradually replaced by other terminals, the terminal here is no longer the number one freight terminal in Hong Kong.
The future famous Harbor City is now under construction in stages.
In addition, Wharf also has a large amount of land, which is now very valuable land.
In Su Cheng's view, the most valuable thing about Wharf is the land it owns.
As for the terminal warehouse, it began to gradually decline in the 1970s with the opening of the Kwai Chung Container Terminal.
Because of this, Wharf has already prepared plans to build Harbor City.
However, even if it declines, its outstanding location advantage will not be lost.
Especially the Wharf Cargo Terminal is a priceless piece of land.
After a few years, the Harbor City building complex will be formed here, as well as the Wharf Cargo Terminal.
Now that Su Cheng has invested in Wharf, this piece of land naturally belongs to him.
After the driver parked the car, Su Cheng stood downstairs, looking up at the slightly dilapidated building.
This is also a piece of land with an excellent location. If this building is demolished and a new building is built in the future, the value will immediately increase countless times.
There was less than an hour left before the press conference. The charter king originally arranged the press conference in the lobby on the first floor. When he turned around, he saw Su Cheng walking out of the car door, so he greeted her with a smile.
There was also a young man who came out with Su Cheng.
"Mr. Su, you are finally here, welcome home." Bao Yugang laughed.
"This is my first time coming to Wharf Building, please take care of me, Mr. Bao." Su Cheng shook hands with the Charter King and said with a smile.
After saying that, he turned and looked at the young man next to the Charter King. This young man was about thirty years old. Anyone who could follow the Charter King must be an important person in Wharf.
"Who is this?" Su Cheng stretched out his hand and asked.
"Let me introduce you. This is my second son-in-law Wu Guangzheng. He helped me win the Wharf before. Now he is the general manager of the Wharf Group." The chartering king introduced at the side.
"Hello, Mr. Wu, I often see your name in newspapers. Please forgive me if I didn't recognize you the first time I saw it. You are a talented person at first glance." Su Cheng and Wu Guangzheng He said shaking hands.
"Mr. Su is the person I admire most. Although I am older than you, in my opinion, you are my senior in the business world." Wu Guangzheng said humbly.
