Chapter 366 Bud goes to Sioux City
Bard thought about it, and the best solution is to talk to Sioux City in person.
Because he knows that in the face of Su Cheng's financial strength, all other strategies are false.
If Su Cheng really likes HK Electric Group, he can get HK Electric Group by spending money.
Nowadays in the whole of Xiangjiang, who doesn’t know that Su City really has too much money to spend!
As a company with a market value of several billions, Hong Kong Electric Group may be a giant in Hong Kong.
But Bud knew that Hong Kong Electric Group was a company that could be easily manipulated in front of Suzhou City.
Crude oil worth tens of billions is still the most scarce resource today and can be cashed in at any time.
With such an existence, what can Bud, a professional manager, do to compete with today?
When thinking of this, Bud felt a deep sense of helplessness.
However, now that reality is like this, we can only face it.
Bud returned to his desk, picked up the phone, and dialed Wei Li, the president of Hutchison Whampoa Group.
The top business district is just that big. Bud and Weili are both well-known professional managers in Xiangjiang.
So, they are naturally very familiar with each other. They have known each other a long time ago.
Way Li, who was far away in the Hutchison Whampoa Group Building in Central, was thinking about the development direction of a subsidiary. When the phone rang, he habitually picked up the phone and answered it.
"Mr. Weili, this is Bud. I'm sorry, but I need your help with something. I don't know if you are free. I just need to spare some time." After the call was connected, Bud couldn't wait to say.
Wei Li was not surprised to hear that the call was actually from the chairman of Hong Kong Electric Group.
After all, yesterday Zhang Qizheng signed a stock transfer contract with four shareholders of Hong Kong Electric Group here.
Being targeted by Su City, Weili felt deeply sad for Bud.
This is following the old path of Hutchison Whampoa.
At the beginning, Hutchison Whampoa unknowingly became a holding company in Sioux City. After that, Hutchison Whampoa was directly privatized.
Today, HK Electric Group is so similar to Hutchison Whampoa back then.
Moreover, the original boss Su Cheng did not have that much money, so he still played around with Hutchison Whampoa.
Nowadays, Sioux City has made huge amounts of money in the oil industry, and it is simply too easy to acquire a company of similar size.
So, Bud called, it must be about this matter.
"Mr. Bud, I can spare some time. Please tell me if there is anything I can do to help. I will definitely help." Weili said on the phone.
Everyone is in the same circle, so Weili will naturally not offend Bud. He should still talk nicely. As for whether he can help or not, it depends on what he is looking for.
Su Cheng is now his boss. If his question harms the boss's interests, Wei Li will certainly not help. He can just give any reason to refuse.
Today, Wei Li is still very satisfied with his situation.
It seems that I have been demoted from the original chairman of the board of directors of Hutchison Whampoa to the president. It seems that my position has been reduced.
However, Weili's rights are even greater.
At the beginning, although you were the chairman of the board of directors of Hutchison Whampoa Group, you were often controlled by Huifeng Bank.
Now, although there is Su Cheng as the chairman of the board of directors, Su Cheng has basically handed over all the affairs of the group to Wei Li.
So, this is a reduction in price but a promotion in real terms. Wei Li is naturally very satisfied with such a good thing. If it's just a small matter and doesn't harm the boss's interests, Wei Li doesn't mind helping him.
"Actually, it's not a big deal. I want Mr. Su Cheng's contact information. I have something urgent to ask him. I wonder if Mr. Weili can give me his contact information?" Bud asked directly.
"That's no problem. I'll find the phone address book right away and tell you the boss's contact number." Upon hearing this, Wei Li agreed without hesitation.
At Bard's level, if you want to find Su City's contact information, it is not difficult to find it through other channels, so there is no need to reject him on this matter.
Furthermore, the reason why he was looking for his boss must be about the equity of Hong Kong Electric Group.
Wei Li also knew that his boss was now the controlling shareholder of Hong Kong Electric Group, so he would have to face Bud sooner or later.
Therefore, there is no problem at all in giving the boss Su City’s phone number to Bud.
The phone number Wei Li gave was the phone number of Su Cheng's home.
At this time, it is only about nine o'clock in the morning. If the boss has nothing urgent to do in the morning today, he should be at home at this time.
Wei Li guessed right. Su Cheng slept until nine o'clock in the morning, then slowly got up with Gillian and A Mei waiting on him.
Last night, Su Cheng was in a very good mood, so he took Gillian and Ami to play with each other until late at night.
Despite this, Su Cheng felt refreshed after getting up.
While Su Cheng was enjoying breakfast leisurely, served by Gillian and Amei, the phone in the study room rang.
Su Cheng had to get up and walk to the study to answer the phone.
The people who know Su Cheng’s phone number are all the more important people under him, or other big bosses he knows. They must have something to do with him, so Su Cheng will not let Gillian or A Mei answer the call first. Telephone.
"Hello, I'm Su Cheng, who is this?" Su Cheng looked at the phone number. It was relatively unfamiliar. It must be the first time he called.
"Mr. Su, I am Bud, the chairman of Hong Kong Electric Group. Please forgive me for disturbing you. Is Mr. Su free now?" Bud said in English.
He is British and has a sense of superiority in his bones. Although he has been in Xiangjiang for more than 30 years, he does not bother to learn Xiangjiang dialect or Chinese.
Su Cheng originally spoke in Xiangjiang dialect, but when he heard Bard answering him in English, his favorability towards Bard immediately dropped sharply.
Of course he knows that this Bud, who has been in Xiangjiang for more than thirty years, still can't speak Xiangjiang dialect.
On the other hand, Wei Li was invited to come to Xiangjiang in 1964. As of this year, the total time he has been in Xiangjiang is only 14 years, but Wei Li can speak fluent Xiangjiang dialect.
It can be said that Wei Li very much recognized Xiangjiang and the culture here.
Comparing Weili and Bud, Su Cheng naturally prefers Weili.
Therefore, the first impression Mr. Bud left on Sioux City was extremely bad.
"Oh? It's Mr. Bader. I have admired your name for a long time. Do you have anything to do with me?" Su Cheng asked with a smile.
On the surface, he did not show any displeasure with Bud.
In his heart, Sioux City is already considering whether to find a new helmsman of Hong Kong Electric Group.
“I understand that yesterday’s actions on the Hong Kong Electric Group’s stock market were caused by your Tianyuan Investment Company, Mr. Su, so I would like to invite Mr. Su to come to the Hong Kong Electric Group and talk to me about About Hong Kong Electric Group," Bud said directly.
"Okay, no problem. I will go to Hong Kong Electric Group in the afternoon and I will have a detailed chat with you then." Su Cheng agreed with a smile.
Meeting Mr. Bud was also a part of his original plan.
