Chapter 365 What should I do?
Hearing Zhang Qizheng's question, Su Cheng smiled and said, "No rush, I'll take care of some things first."
It is a big deal to take over the Hong Kong Electric Group.
After all, Hong Kong Electric Group is also a top listed company in Hong Kong with assets worth billions. If you rush to take over, you will face many problems.
Sioux City has no intention of managing the HK Electric Group personally, so the person at the helm of the HK Electric Group must at least be determined first.
Mr. Budd, the current chairman of HK Electric Group, also knows something about it. If he is willing to continue to be at the helm of HK Electric Group, Sioux City may let him continue to manage it.
Because Mr. Bader’s ability is well-known to everyone in the business community in Hong Kong.
It’s just that the British have always looked down on the Chinese, so I don’t know if Mr. Budd is willing to continue to be in charge of the Hong Kong Electric Group.
Also, he also wants to check the financial affairs of Hong Kong Electric Group. Before this, the management team led by Bud almost had the final say in this company. Who knows if there is anything in it? question.
After all, even the founder of Namei Entertainment Company relied on his position as chairman to secretly drain all the funds of Namei Entertainment Company over the years, resulting in the loss of Namei Entertainment Company over the years. It has never been able to develop.
As for Bud, the chairman of Hong Kong Electric Group, in this position, no one knows whether he has used this position to make money.
So, if he is willing to continue to be in charge of the Hong Kong Electric Group, Su Cheng must also find out the details, otherwise, he will be uneasy even in his heart.
As the saying goes, you must not doubt the people you hire. Before you hire someone, you must find out the details. Only then can you do this.
If Bud is no longer suitable to continue to be in charge of HK Electric, then Sioux City will definitely need to find a capable successor.
These all take time.
Therefore, Sioux City is not in a hurry to directly acquire HK Electric Group.
Anyway, today's Hong Kong Electric Group has completely become a holding company of Sioux City. Hong Kong Electric Group can no longer escape from his grasp, so there is no need to worry at all.
This is confidence.
After hanging up the call with Zhang Qizheng, Su Cheng was in a very good mood.
Now in Hong Kong, among the large British-owned companies, he has already taken over Hutchison Whampoa and Hong Kong Electric Group, and he is also the second largest shareholder of another major British-owned bank, Wharf.
In the past, becoming a major shareholder of one of these companies was something that the Chinese in Hong Kong did not even dare to think about.
But now, he has won these large British companies one after another.
When Sioux City actually takes over the Hong Kong Electric Group, the media in Hong Kong and even Southeast Asia will be extremely lively again.
Seeing Su Cheng come out of the study with a smile on his face, Gillian asked with a smile: "Young master, what are you so happy about?"
"Your young master, I just Of course I am happy to have won a listed company," Su Cheng said with a smile.
Now, Hong Kong Electric Group has completely taken over, so even if this matter is leaked, it will not have a big impact on Sioux City.
So, Su Cheng doesn’t need to keep this secret at all.
Besides, he didn’t say which company it was.
“Congratulations, young master!” Gillian and Ami said in unison.
Listening to the congratulations of the two beauties, Su Cheng felt even more comfortable.
The senior executives of Hong Kong Electric Group went home with heavy hearts.
Today, they discussed it all afternoon, but they didn't come up with any good idea.
In the end, everyone agreed that we could only wait to find out who the other party was before we could find a targeted solution.
As the chairman of Hong Kong Electric Group, Bud also went home with a black face.
Back home, his wife wanted to comfort him, but she didn’t know how to express her comfort, because Bud usually never told her about things in the company. Just like that, the night passed peacefully.
The next morning, many mainstream newspapers and media in Hong Kong, including "Oriental Daily", "Hong Kong Securities Journal", "Chivalry News", "Sin Chew Daily", etc., reported on Hong Kong Lamp Group's unusual situation on the stock market.
These media have speculated about the stock market news of HK Electric Group and who is targeting HK Electric Group.
Xiangjiang, only a dozen consortiums, have such strength that they can spend hundreds of millions of Hong Kong dollars to acquire stocks at one time.
As for other people, even if they are worth hundreds of millions of Hong Kong dollars, it is impossible for them to acquire just this small amount of shares.
After all, ordinary billionaires must invest in order to become a major shareholder or even a controlling shareholder. Enterprises like Hong Kong Electric Group are simply beyond the reach of ordinary rich people.
Many suspected rich people or financial groups have become the targets of media speculation.
Among them, Sioux City is also one of them.
After all, when it comes to who has the most money in Xiangjiang nowadays, even a three-year-old child knows that it is the famous Sioux City.
However, since they have no evidence, they cannot determine who is targeting the Hong Kong Electric Group.
Prior to this, although the trading volume of Hong Kong Electric Group on the stock market had been very stable, the media rarely paid attention to it.
Because Hong Kong Electric Group is different from Wharf, Hutchison Whampoa, Jardine Matheson Land, etc., it does not have a shareholder who can speak out, so there are not so many tidbits in daily news.
Early in the morning, there was a lot of discussion about this matter in the streets and alleys of Xiangjiang.
As one of the three major financial centers in the world, the financial industry in Xiangjiang is very strong.
So, citizens are more or less aware of these.
“If the Chinese consortium takes action again, I will definitely applaud them!”
“Yes, Hutchison Whampoa and Wharf have fallen into the hands of our Chinese consortium one after another. I don’t know what this Hong Kong Electric Group is. What's going on? "
"Based on my many years of experience in stock trading, this secret boss must have owned a lot of Hong Kong Electric Group shares before, otherwise he would have no need to acquire it like this, slow down. If we pay slowly, there is no need to spend so much money!”
“I hope it’s a Chinese consortium. We Chinese in Hong Kong have always been looked down upon by foreigners. Even if we immigrate to the UK, we are still second-class citizens. The stronger the Chinese are, the more powerful we are. Only by being strong can we be tougher!”
Some retired old investors, knowing how embarrassing the Chinese’s position is, started to pray, hoping that this time, it would still be a Chinese operation!
Hong Kong Electric Group Headquarters Building, Causeway Bay, Hong Kong.
When Bud just entered his office, he received a message.
"Mr. Chairman, we have found out that yesterday's actions on the stock market were initiated by Tianyuan Investment Company. They acquired a total of 6.43% of Hong Kong Electric Group's shares in the stock market yesterday. These shares alone have become has become the major shareholder of Hong Kong Electric Group,” intelligence sources reported to him.
Hearing the news, Bud couldn't sit still anymore.
Everyone knows that Tianyuan Investment Company is a private investment company in Su City.
Previously, it was Sioux City that used Tianyuan Investment Company to secretly acquire stocks in Wharf and Hutchison Whampoa.
Unexpectedly, now it is the turn of Hong Kong Electric Group.
Actually, this is because there is no need to be so secretive now, otherwise Bard's intelligence personnel would not be able to find out these things.
"What should we do?" Bud said to himself irritably in the office.
Yesterday, when the news came, his first reaction was to pray that the person behind the scenes this time was not Su Cheng.
Unexpectedly, it was actually him!
Everyone knows that Sioux City has a lot of money. If he is targeted, the outcome of Hong Kong Electric Group will be known without even thinking about it.
