Wheelock itself is very anxious to sell these two buildings to recirculate funds to purchase second-hand ships that have been eliminated by Global Shipping Group.
Now, the two options given by Su City basically leave them with no choice but to choose.
So, Sioux City simply refused to give John Langdon a chance to continue the conversation.
What we want is to cut through the mess quickly!
"Mr. Su, please wait for me for a while. I will call and contact other shareholders now. This matter is of great importance and I cannot make the decision alone!" John Langdon said Instead of agreeing on the spot, he said helplessly.
"Of course, Mr. John, please do it." Su Cheng said with a smile.
Even for the Su Group, if it involves an investment or transaction of hundreds of millions of Hong Kong dollars, Yang Chaoye needs to seek the advice of Su City, not to mention Wheelock's current investment involving more than one billion Hong Kong dollars. The Hong Kong dollar transaction was completed, so Sioux City still understands John Langdon very well.
For this kind of matter, it is generally better to hold a board meeting. However, the sale of the Federal Building and the International Building itself has been approved by the board of directors. In addition, the current situation is urgent. If another board meeting is held, If there is a bureau meeting, John Langdon is also afraid of missing out on this deal.
Because he knew very well that in addition to Su Cheng, the world's richest man, who said he was considering purchasing the second-hand cargo ships of Global Shipping Group, there was another shipping company in Xiangjiang that was also considering purchasing these cargo ships. It was Tung Shipping Group.
The decision made by the shipping king Dong and John Langdon were both the same, which was to continue to develop the shipping industry with all their strength!
Originally, Global Shipping Group's position in the shipping industry was almost unshakable, but the charter king's decision to abandon the ship and land on the ship made both Wheelock Group and Dong's Shipping Group see opportunities.
But it is not that easy to come up with a huge sum of more than one billion Hong Kong dollars in a short time.
So, now Wheelock Group and Tung Shipping Group are competing on speed to see who can collect money faster!
Once Wheelock Group comes up with this huge sum of money faster than Tung Shipping Group, then Wheelock Group will naturally have a better chance of reaching a deal with Global Shipping Group.
So, John Langdon was actually very anxious inside!
He also hopes that he can sit on the throne of the world's shipping king.
As for the shipping industry depression?
In John Langdon's view, the world's population is constantly growing. Even if there is a depression, it will only last a few years and will not last long!
The Wheelock Group wants to take advantage of the recession in the shipping industry to become the emperor of the world's shipping industry.
Otherwise, when the shipping industry is booming, there is no chance that the number one position will be their turn!
As long as these shareholders all agree, they can just sign a supplementary meeting decision afterwards. In Wheelock Group, John Langdon has almost the same status as Shen Bi in Huifeng Bank, and he can basically dominate the world with one hand.
Therefore, John Langdon was not afraid of the obstruction of these regulations at all.
So, he simply planned to make a call to solicit the opinions of major shareholders and then make a decision on the spot.
John Langdon's development strategy of additional investment in the shipping industry was approved by a unanimous vote of all shareholders. Now that there is such a good opportunity, he believes that those shareholders will also agree with his decision.
The truth is the same. John Langdon wants to be the number one shipping king in the world's shipping industry, and these shareholders also hope that they can become shareholders of the world's largest shipping company.
Just when Su Cheng was sitting across from John Langdon, drinking tea that was already a little cool, John Langdon did not let Su City avoid him, and directly contacted the major shareholders of Wheelock Group in front of Su Cheng. Sioux City didn't say anything during the process, and just waited quietly for John Langdon to make phone calls one by one.
Sioux City roughly calculated that John Langdon made nearly 10 phone calls, and each phone call was not long.
If the other party directly supported John Langdon's decision, he would not even explain it and would end the call in less than a minute.
If he had any objections to John Langdon's decision, he would simply explain the reasons, and the other party would quickly agree.
In less than twenty minutes, John Langdon finished the call.
"Mr. Su, I have kept you waiting for a long time. I have solicited the opinions of the main members of the board of directors. They all agreed that our Wheelock Group will sell the Federal Building in Central and the Mongkok International Building for HK$1.6 billion. Sold to you." John Langdon stood up, extended his hand to shake Sioux City's hand and said.
"That's really good news, Mr. John, I wish us a happy cooperation in advance!" Su Cheng said with a smile.
This time when I came to Wheelock Group, things went much smoother than expected.
“Today I will notify several key executives of Wheelock Group to come over and sign a property sale agreement with Mr. Su. Both parties can trade at any time. I wonder when Mr. Su’s funds will arrive?” John Lan Den asked.
John Madden can't wait to spend more than one billion to buy those cargo ships from the charter king.
If Wheelock Group were to acquire this batch of cargo ships worth more than one billion, their ship tonnage would even directly surpass that of Global Shipping Group.
At that time, their great wish of Wheelock Group will be realized.
Thinking of this, John Madden's heart suddenly surged. He even seemed to have seen himself leading the way in the shipping industry just like the former charter king.
What he didn’t know, however, was that the deeper he sank into the shipping industry, the more miserable the Wheelock Group would end.
In another world, it was precisely because John Madden, the chief executive of Wheelock Group, misjudged the situation and invested heavily in the shipping industry that was facing the Great Depression. As a result, he was deeply troubled and triggered a conflict with the Zhang family, another major shareholder of the company. In the end, the old John Madden was disappointed and wanted to quit, and finally sold his shares to the Nanyang Qiu Group. However, the charter king who had already targeted Wheelock Group launched a thunderous offensive and successfully merged it. Wheelock Group.
However, in this world, due to the emergence of Sioux City, although the Wheelock Group has gone in the same direction as in its previous life, sinking deeper and deeper into the shipping industry, the outcome may have changed.
Because, according to intelligence data from Su City, the famous Li Chaoren in his previous life, because he did not win Wharf or Hutchison Whampoa in this world, has already set his sights on Wheelock Group.
Many intelligence materials show that Li Chaoren is secretly acquiring shares of Wheelock Group.
Of course, Tianyuan Investment Company in Sioux City is also secretly acquiring shares of Wheelock Group to prepare for the future Wheelock battle. (End of chapter)
