Chapter 373 Threat Theory
Before the newspapers and media had time to report it, TV stations and radio stations quickly spread the news of Suzhou City's acquisition of the Hong Kong Electric Group by taking advantage of their ability to spread information at any time.
Sioux City once again takes over a large British-owned enterprise, which is definitely good news for the ordinary citizens of Xiangjiang.
Many people went to the store to buy beer, chatted with friends, celebrated, were happy and proud.
Perhaps, Sioux City becoming the controlling shareholder of Hong Kong Electric Group has nothing to do with them, but it will bring them a sense of national pride.
Just like the world in Su Cheng's previous life.
When IG won the League of Legends finals;
When Hengtai Football Team won the AFC Champions League;
When the men’s basketball team under the leadership of Dayao When advancing to the top 8 at the Olympic Games;
When China’s space station was successfully put into use;
Even if these things have nothing to do with ordinary people, they can give them a sense of national pride!
At this time, Su Cheng had returned home.
After dinner, I turned on the TV. Jiayi TV on the TV station was playing the interview content of Su Cheng's press conference today.
"Wow, Master, you are on TV again." Ami covered her sexy lips and said with a smile.
"This TV station belongs to the young master. Isn't it normal for the young master to be on TV? But the young master looks so handsome and has the temperament of a leader when he is on TV." A Mei interjected from the side.
They are not from Xiangjiang, they have only been in Xiangjiang for a short time, and they do not know much about the enterprises in Xiangjiang. Therefore, Su City's acquisition of Hong Kong Electric Group is not surprising to them.
But the fact that Su Cheng was on TV made them feel fresher.
"Young master, I am a normal person on TV. It's nothing to make a fuss about. After all, I am a celebrity in Hong Kong and even the world." Su Cheng said with a smile.
The reputation of Sioux City is known to everyone from the elderly to three-year-old children in Xiangjiang.
Even around the world, although Su Cheng has only been famous for a short time now, if he continues to be the world's richest man, one day, even very poor and remote countries and regions will know Su. City this person.
Just like Li Chaoren, Bill Gates, Buffett and others, one is the richest man in China, the other is the richest man in the world, and the other is recognized as a stock god. In his previous life, Su Cheng still knew them since he was a child even though he lived in a remote mountainous countryside.
This is the communication power brought by the world's top businessmen.
And Sioux City is now the world's top businessman.
After all, as a super rich man who has been reported by mainstream media around the world, and is even recognized as the richest man in the world, such a person does not belong to the world's top businessmen, and then others are even less worthy.
Time, another night passed, and it was November 21st.
Today is an ordinary day.
But for the media in Xiangjiang, it is another extraordinary day.
All newspapers and periodicals are rushing to report the news that Suzhou City has taken over the Hong Kong Electric Group.
In particular, the evaluations of Su Cheng and his views on his becoming the head of the Hong Kong Electric Group were published in mainstream newspapers, making excited people in Hong Kong buy this Newspaper, buy that newspaper again.
Afterwards, according to statistics from relevant organizations, on this day, the total sales of newspapers in Hong Kong were more than three times higher than the previous sales.
The reason is, of course, that many people buy multiple newspapers, which leads to a surge in sales of newspapers owned by multiple media outlets.
Newspapers from many media outlets are even sold out of stock.
This kind of grand occasion is rare in Xiangjiang.
It can be seen from this that Suzhou City's acquisition of HK Electric Group has a great influence on Hong Kong.
From Hutchison Whampoa, to Wharf, to Hong Kong Electric Group. British-funded companies are falling step by step, while Chinese-funded consortiums are rising step by step, which makes the Chinese people in Hong Kong feel exciting.
There are not many top British-funded companies in Xiangjiang, and even fewer top-level Chinese-funded companies.
So, for a British-funded company, if a Chinese wins one, it means that the power of the British-funded consortium has further declined, while the power of the Chinese-funded consortium has further increased.
This is why there was such a big commotion when Sioux City took over Hutchison Whampoa and became the first Chinese Taipan to take over a British-owned company.
Afterwards, the same was true when the Charter King took over Wharf. However, the popularity at that time was naturally not as shocking as when Sioux City took over Hutchison Whampoa.
And now, it is the third top British-owned company that has been acquired by a Chinese.
This means that British-owned enterprises will be further weakened.
This time, it is not just as simple as Chinese capital acquiring British capital, but also the popularity of Suzhou City's top rich man, so it has been wildly hyped by the media.
For the media, traffic is more important than anything else.
At this time, only about a month had passed since Sioux City was reported by the world media.
Su Cheng got up early in the morning. While having breakfast, the servant had already placed today's latest newspapers on the table in the living room.
One newspaper after another, Su Cheng looked at it seriously.
Reports on Sioux City are basically positive, and the vast majority praise Sioux City.
There is one newspaper that expresses concern about Sioux City taking over the Hong Kong Electric Group.
This newspaper is the South China Morning Post, the largest English-language newspaper in Hong Kong.
The South China Morning Post is the English-language newspaper with the largest circulation, greatest influence, and oldest history in Hong Kong. It is the favorite newspaper of foreigners living in Hong Kong.
This newspaper uses the most detailed data to show the comparison between British-owned enterprises and Chinese-owned enterprises in Hong Kong.
From being far ahead at the beginning, to being caught up by Chinese-funded companies, and now almost catching up, from these data, it can be seen that the rise of Chinese-funded companies and the decline of British-funded companies are clear at a glance.
Although British-funded enterprises are still leading the way in the entire Xiangjiang, the strength of Chinese-funded consortiums is no longer much different from that of British-funded consortiums.
According to this trend, in a few more years, the Chinese-funded consortium will be able to completely surpass the British-funded consortium and dominate the economy of Hong Kong.
This is an incredible thing for a colony.
Therefore, the South China Morning Post also mentioned a new term in the newspaper: the threat theory of Chinese-funded consortiums.
The article pointed out that if the British-funded consortium continues like this, sooner or later it will be surpassed by the Chinese-funded consortium, or even driven out of Hong Kong by the Chinese-funded consortium.
Putting down the newspaper, Su Cheng smiled slightly. He did not take the South China Morning Post report seriously at all.
In Xiangjiang, the top British bosses would probably not deal with him openly.
As for the British-funded ordinary consortium below, do they want to deal with Su City?
Not qualified enough!
“It’s another beautiful morning!” Looking at the clear sky outside, Su Cheng smiled slightly and was in a particularly good mood.
"Master, you are in a good mood today." Gillian said from the side.
