Chapter 368 The Unwilling Bard
Hearing Su Cheng’s words, Bard began to believe it in his heart.
Everyone knows that the wealth of Sioux City is as rich as the country, and he is recognized as the richest man in the world.
If he really wants to win a listed company in Hong Kong, no one can stop him.
It’s useless not to admit it, you have to recognize the facts.
Besides, if he really won so many stocks, it would be clear when the announcement is made directly, so there is no need to lie to him.
Thinking of this, Bud sighed.
"Mr. Su, I wonder what your purpose is for controlling Hong Kong Electric Group? What are your plans for the future?" Bard forced himself to refresh himself, raised his head and asked.
“It’s very simple. I am more optimistic about the high-quality fixed assets of HK Electric Group. I think the real value of HK Electric Group is much greater than the actual market value. If you buy it, you will make money. To me, it is just an ordinary Tong's business behavior is not aimed at anyone. As for my future thoughts, I haven't thought about it yet. I will wait until I take over the Hong Kong Electric Group to make plans. I am here to prepare you mentally." Su Cheng smiled. said.
Hearing what Su Cheng said, Bud felt helpless.
The most helpless thing about him is his current situation.
The business he manages has become someone else’s without him knowing it at all. If others want to fire him, they can fire him at any time.
The day before, he was the proud leader of Hong Kong Electric Group, but in the blink of an eye, he became someone who could be manipulated at will.
This kind of helplessness can only be felt by being there.
At the beginning, when Sioux City completely captured Hutchison Whampoa, Wei Li also had this mentality.
Of course, Bud is very clear about this. After all, the circle of British-owned corporate management elites is so small, and everyone in the circle basically knows about it.
At that time, Bud was still watching the show happily, as long as it didn't happen to him.
However, Wei Li was recognized by Suzhou City, so he stayed and continued to manage Hutchison Whampoa.
Unexpectedly, it was my turn this time. I wonder if Su Cheng can tolerate him?
Bud has worked for HK Electric Group for most of his life. To be honest, if he were suddenly asked to leave HK Electric Group, he would still be a little reluctant to leave.
Moreover, he has made money here in a few years that he could not make in the previous twenty years, which makes him even more unwilling to leave HK Electric Group just like this.
However, the decision-making power is not with him. Whether he can stay or not depends on Su Cheng.
Since Sioux City has completely controlled the Hong Kong Electric Group, no matter how hard it tries, it is impossible to snatch the Hong Kong Electric Group back.
So, he has given up the idea of competing with Su Cheng.
Thinking of this, Bud decided to take the initiative: "Mr. Su, you know, I have worked in Hong Kong Electric Group for most of my life, and I am very familiar with it. And my management ability, I think it is also good. Hong Kong Electric is also top-notch. I don’t know if I can continue to stay in the Hong Kong Electric Group. I can also step down from the position of chairman like Mr. Wei Li and take up the position of president of the Hong Kong Electric Group. As long as I am here in the Hong Kong Electric Group, I believe that Hong Kong Electric will be the best company in the world. Lamp Group will become one of the top three enterprises in Hong Kong in the near future! ”
Su Cheng felt a little bit pained. This Mr. Bud actually made a fool of himself in front of him...
Top three in Xiangjiang is not easy.
Only Huifeng Bank, Jardine Matheson, Global Shipping Group, Hutchison Whampoa Group, Li & Fung Group, etc., it is difficult to surpass Hong Kong Electric Group, not to mention the rising stars Su Group and New World Group , Sun Hung Kai Properties, etc. It is simply a dream for Bard to bring Hong Kong Electric Group into the top three in the future.
The fixed assets of Hong Kong Electric Group are of high quality, but if they are not developed well, it will just be a waste of these high-quality assets.
"Mr. Bud, I am very happy that you can recommend yourself, but I don't know much about the specific situation of HK Electric Group or your personality. I will decide whether you will continue to be at the helm of HK Electric Group." After comprehensive consideration, but before that, I will not change the position of HK Electric Group casually. This period will last for half a month. Since you want to stay, I will carefully examine you. If you are qualified, of course I welcome you to stay. You are a talented person, I will definitely welcome you." Su Cheng thought for a while and said seriously.
Su Cheng's words are very straightforward. That is to say, if you want to stay, there is no chance. I will give you half a month to perform. If your performance is up to standard, you can naturally continue to helm the Hong Kong Electric Group. If you are not satisfied, You can only choose someone else. Bud was stunned after hearing what Su Cheng said.
This is completely different from what he imagined.
At first, he heard that the reason why Wei Li stayed in office was entirely because Su Cheng asked him to stay.
How come you have changed when you are here?
Moreover, he personally requested to stay on, but the result was not what he imagined.
Could it be that I licked too much? Should you stay aloof?
Bud even regretted a little. If he had known better, he would not have taken the initiative to ask to stay. Maybe Su Cheng would have treated him the same way he treated Weili.
After all, Bard believed that his ability was no worse than Weili.
Weili was able to turn Hutchison Whampoa, which had suffered heavy losses, from a loss to a profit, so he managed the Hong Kong Electric Group in a sound and impressive manner.
An unconvinced thought arose in Bud's heart.
It’s just that Su City doesn’t care about these.
The first impression I had on Bud today was not very good.
So, Su City doesn’t care what Mr. Bud thinks.
"Then when will Mr. Su announce to the outside world that you have become the controlling shareholder of Hong Kong Electric Group?" Bud asked.
He didn't want to ask so many other questions.
"It will be 10 a.m. the day after tomorrow. I will find someone to calculate the time. November 20th is a good day. By the way, I will ask Tianyuan Investment Company to register all stocks at the Xiangjiang Stock Exchange tomorrow. I believe that by then If you want to check it here, you can find it," Su Cheng said with a smile.
"Okay, I will make arrangements the day after tomorrow. I believe in my ability to work. In this half month, Mr. Su should be able to see my ability." Bud said in a flattering tone. said.
"Mr. Bud, let's stop talking today. We'll see you the day after tomorrow." Su Cheng stretched out his hand and shook hands with Bud.
Regardless of whether Bud is a qualified manager or not, Sioux City will not have any conflict with him now. After all, HK Electric Group will still need him to maintain order for the time being.
As for whether Bud will become the president of Hong Kong Electric Group like Weili, Sioux City needs to seriously consider it.
The asset size of Hong Kong Electric Group is not much smaller than that of the original Hutchison Whampoa.
Such a large listed company must have an excellent leader so that Su Cheng can rest assured.
Let Su Cheng manage it personally?
Please, he doesn’t even personally manage Hutchison Whampoa, Su Group, etc., which he owns 100% of the shares. How can he personally manage Hong Kong Electric Group, which only holds 52.9% of the shares!
What's more, he felt that he was not suitable for management of large enterprises.
"Okay Mr. Su, see you the day after tomorrow."
