Chapter 450 The Ghost Genius Chen Zhibai
The business transactions with the Ma family have been handed over to Zhang Qizheng, so Su Cheng became idle again.
The Ma family suffered heavy losses in Xiangjiang, but because they ran fast, everyone successfully evacuated from Xiangjiang. There is no longer any suspense about the acquisition of "Oriental Daily". Su City only needs to wait for the final confirmation. .
Estimating the market value of a property cannot be done in a day or two. After all, the Ma family has a lot of properties left in Xiangjiang, so it is difficult to complete the transaction in a short time.
However, what Sioux City values most is Oriental Daily. The price has already been negotiated, so there is no need to negotiate.
Therefore, Su Cheng asked Zhang Qizheng and Ma Jia to trade "Oriental Daily" first.
After Ma Chengkun and Ma Yanqiang left Xiangjiang, Oriental Newspaper Company became leaderless. Now the business is temporarily under the control of a deputy general manager.
The Ma family readily agreed to Su City's request to trade Oriental Newspaper Company before them.
Nowadays, the Ma family has no obsession with Xiangjiang. Even if they have an obsession, it is useless. They have all evacuated.
For a family like the Ma family that has a strong desire to control the business, they are not willing to find professional managers to manage it.
This is the case for many established Chinese-owned enterprises in Xiangjiang. The decision-making power of the enterprise lies with the boss, and professional managers can only assist management at most.
It is rare among Chinese-funded enterprises like Su City to directly hire professional managers to manage the company.
For example, Cheung Kong Holdings, Global Shipping Group, Shaw Brothers Film Company, etc. are basically managed by the founder himself.
This kind of thing is very common in British-funded or American-owned companies, especially listed companies whose shareholders are composed of multiple consortiums.
This is the case for Jardine Matheson, Hui Feng, and the former Hong Kong Electric Group.
Soon, Zhang Qizheng and the Ma family's team of royal lawyers negotiated the equity transfer of Oriental Newspaper Company.
As a private company, the Ma family's two brothers hold a total of 100% of the shares of Oriental Newspaper Company, so it is very simple to acquire Oriental Newspaper Company.
Pay with one hand and deliver with the other hand!
The two parties finally agreed to hold a signing ceremony at Oriental Newspaper Company at 10 o'clock tomorrow morning, January 7th.
Oriental Press Company is not a listed company, so it does not need to invite the media to attend the press conference.
However, Oriental Newspaper Company itself is a media company, and "Oriental Daily News" is the largest news newspaper in Hong Kong. Therefore, such breaking news will naturally be reported by "Oriental Daily News" itself.
The senior executives of Oriental News Company already know that Su Cheng, the richest man in Hong Kong and even the world, will become their new boss. To this, everyone has no objections. On the contrary, they are full of hope for the future. .
As long as Su Cheng does not have the idea of arbitrarily laying off employees after taking office, they will very much welcome Su Cheng to take over.
After all, Su City has a better reputation than the Ma family.
And this is recognized as the richest man in the world. Working under him will give you more dignity.
After all, the Ma family is a famous drug lord family in Xiangjiang. Because of this, "Oriental Daily" is even called a flour newspaper by some people.
Now, after Su Cheng took over, who dares to say that "Oriental Daily" is a flour newspaper?
This is definitely a case of reforming one’s evil ways and returning to the right path.
Early the next morning, Su Cheng went to the Jian Defeng Commercial Building at the intersection of Lockhart Road and Canal Road East in Wan Chai, Hong Kong Island. This is the headquarters of Oriental Daily.
This is a 19-storey building, in which Oriental Newspaper Company occupies the 15th/16th floor.
Because Su Cheng and Zhang Qizheng had made an appointment, the two met in the parking lot downstairs. "Boss, let's go up together. Lawyer Wu and others are already waiting for us on the 16th floor." Zhang Qizheng said to Su Cheng.
Su Cheng nodded, walked directly into the building with Zhang Qizheng, took the elevator, and went straight to the 16th floor.
When Su Cheng stepped out of the elevator, he was facing a front desk, and behind the front desk was a lobby.
The entire floor here is the office of Oriental Newspaper Company, so all the employees inside are from Oriental Newspaper Company.
"Hello, Mr. Zhang, Mr. Chen and Lawyer Wu are already waiting for you in the office." Zhang Qizheng has been here for the past two days, so the front desk staff already knows Zhang Qizheng.
As for Su Cheng, they also recognized Su Cheng at a glance, but they were all curious about why Su Cheng, a famous entrepreneur in Hong Kong, came to Oriental News Company.
Today, within the Oriental News Company, only a few senior executives know about the Ma family's sale of "Oriental Daily" to Suzhou City. As for other ordinary employees, they have no idea at all.
As for Zhang Qizheng's frequent visits to Oriental Newspaper Company in the past two days, the front desk staff thought he was just here to discuss advertising cooperation with the company.
After all, advertising cooperation is a very common thing in Oriental Newspaper Company.
Zhang Qizheng nodded and walked into the office hall with familiarity, which was full of workstations.
Through the hall, the two came to a conference room.
Su Cheng’s reputation in Xiangjiang can be said to be recognized by people in their 80s and 90s, as well as by children as young as three years old. Therefore, the moment Su Cheng walked into the hall, he had already attracted the attention of many people.
“Isn’t that Mr. Sioux City, Hutchison Whampoa’s chief executive?”
“Yes, I thought I saw it wrong at first glance. How could he come to our company?”
"Is it because we are talking about a big advertising contract? Then he, the richest man in the world, will not come here in person, right?"
"This is the first time I have seen him in person. I have always seen him on TV or before. When I saw him in the newspaper, he was much more handsome in real life than in the photos or videos. "Some girls have started to become nymphomaniacs.
"Who knows, Lao Chen, you are familiar with the vice president. Why don't you wait until Mr. Su Cheng leaves and ask him why the big boss came to us?"
< br>When Su Cheng walked into the conference room and the door was closed, there was a lot of discussion in the hall. They were all very curious about Su Cheng's arrival.
In addition to Lawyer Wu, there was another person in the conference room, Chen Zhibai, the current deputy general manager of Oriental Newspaper Company.
"Mr. Su, Mr. Zhang, hello, I've finally waited for you." Chen Zhibai was wearing a pair of black-rimmed glasses, and his body seemed to exude a strong intellectual flavor.
However, Su Cheng already knew this Chen Zhibai very well.
According to the information obtained from Brother Wu, Chen Zhibai is indispensable for Oriental Newspaper Company's current scale. He can even be called a genius in the media industry.
Otherwise, people like the Ma family, who are in mixed society, would not be able to build Oriental Newspaper Company into the largest newspaper and periodical media company in Hong Kong in a short period of time, and this has been the case for many years.
It can be said that Chen Zhibai is the general manager of the Ma family in Oriental Newspaper Company. Many decisions are made by him, and they only need the consent of the Ma family in the end.
Su Cheng would naturally not be able to give up on such a talent.
