When two tigers fight, one of them will be injured. I wonder if Li Ka-shing can compete with the charter king?
After all, the gap between Li Chaoren and the Charter King in terms of strength is not small.
Of course, it is certainly not easy for someone to be the richest man in Asia in another world.
People like him are naturally able to seize opportunities. Once the opportunity is grasped, he can turn around again.
Although it is basically impossible for Li Chaoren to become the richest man in Hong Kong or even Asia in this world because Su Cheng is here, he still has a great chance to become one of the world's richest men.
What Li Chaoren lacks now is just a good opportunity.
If he wins one of the four major foreign banks in Hong Kong, then Li Chaoren can directly become a top boss.
The four major foreign companies in Hong Kong are Hutchison & Co., Swire & Co., Jardine & Co. and Wheelock & Co.
Now, Hutchison & Co. has been taken over by Sioux City. Swire & Co. and Jardine & Co. have very solid foundations and are basically difficult to take down. So the one left is most likely to be taken over by a Chinese-funded consortium. It was Wheelock & Company.
So, no matter what, Wheelock & Company is almost the last chance for Li Chaoren to rise. Even if Li Chaoren has a very good relationship with the chartering king, he cannot give it to the chartering king.
Therefore, there will definitely be a fight between the Charter King and Li Chaoren.
Once the two of them fight, Sioux City may also have a chance to launch a thunderous attack and take down the Wheelock Group.
However, these are all things that happened a few years later, and now everything is just a layout.
The Wheelock Group is still firmly in the hands of John Madden. It will not be easy for others to win.
"Mr. John, please rest assured that I have sufficient funds. Once our transfer is successful, the funds will be transferred to your Wheelock Group immediately!" Su Cheng assured again.
In fact, compared to the competition between the two shipping companies Wheelock Shipping and Tung Shipping Group, Sioux City is more willing to see Wheelock Shipping and Global Shipping Group reach a purchase agreement.
After all, Su City is very clear about the future situation.
Whether it is Dong Shipping Group or Global Shipping Group, they all ended badly because of blind development of the shipping industry.
The Wheelock Group is a British-owned enterprise. The deeper it sinks into the shipping industry, the more Sioux City will be happy to see it succeed!
The Dong Shipping Group is different. It is a Chinese-owned enterprise. Although Su City has nothing to do with Dong Shipping King and has not even met a few times, Su City still hopes that Dong The ending of the Shipping Group was not so tragic.
Of course, Su Cheng would not go out of his way to remind Dong Shipping Group.
After all, Su Cheng and Dong Shipwang are not familiar with each other, so he has no obligation to remind others. Besides, even if they remind others, they may not appreciate it!
People may think in their hearts, who am I, and why should a younger generation tell me what to do?
So, even if it is a Chinese-funded consortium, Su City will not deliberately interfere with their development.
"With Mr. Su's words, I feel relieved. I still believe in Mr. Su's character. I have notified the major shareholders of Wheelock Group to come over. We will be able to Sign the sales contract. After the contract is signed, the transfer procedures can be completed at any time
In addition, I would like to remind Mr. Su that the Federal Building in Central and the International Building in Mongkok are currently mainly for external leasing. After signing the contract, the rent can be calculated on your side from now on, but we are not responsible for vacating the building. Mr. Su Is this acceptable? After all, we have signed lease contracts with these tenants. If we remove them now, we will need to pay liquidated damages. "John Madden asked a question.
"I wonder what the vacancy rate is in the Federal Building? " Su Cheng asked.
As for Mong Kok International Building, Su Cheng doesn't pay much attention to it at all. In the short term, his focus is still on Xiangjiang Island, especially the Central area. After all, he lives here Nearby.
Moreover, the Su Group is now facing relocation because its headquarters building has been replaced by Su City, and the destination of relocation is naturally the Federal Building. As for the International Buildings can be rented out directly.
“As far as I know, due to the relatively high competition in commercial buildings in Central, the current vacancy rate of the Federal Building has reached 20%. In addition, some contracts will expire within three months, and about 60% of the tenants’ contract terms are It’s been more than a year,” John Madden said truthfully.
“In other words, in the next three months, about 40% of the area that can be vacated will be about 40%?” Su Cheng asked.
"Yes, Mr. Su, but there are still many expired tenants who are actually willing to renew, so whether they can continue to rent by then, the decision is still on the owner's side." John Madden continued said.
"That's no problem, but please Mr. John, please tell the property management company at the Federal Building now so that they can't continue to rent it out until the handover with us is completed." Su City thought for a while and said.
The current occupancy rate of the Federal Building is about 80%. This occupancy rate, from the perspective of Sioux City, is already very good.
Although the properties in the Federal Building may not rent out the office in two days, it is still better to be just in case. Su City is free to decide how much space the Su Group wants to set aside for offices. Anyway, the current rent in Xiangjiang is in other people's hands. It seems to be very expensive, but from Su Cheng's point of view, it's actually just that.
Even if the Su Group wants to keep the entire building for use, Su City doesn't care, but the current Su Group obviously has not reached this scale.
Therefore, Su City will not let the Su Group waste money at will, as long as they have enough space to work.
With the current vacancy rate of 20% in the Federal Building, it is actually enough for the Su Group. In the next three months, there will be 20% of the space that can be vacated.
The Su Group can still stay in the current Su Group Building for three months. During these three months, the Su Group can slowly move things to the Federal Building. This reserved time is very Enough.
"Okay, I'll call the property manager of the Federal Building right away and tell him about this." John Madden replied.
Soon, John Madden made a direct phone call in front of Sioux City and explained the matter to the person in charge of federal properties.
"Mr. Su, the arrangements have been made." John Madden said after putting down the phone.
“Thank you for your hard work, Mr. John.” Su Cheng said with a smile.
“This is what I should do!” John Madden shook his head and smiled.
Perhaps because of the cooperation, the relationship between the two became better and they began to talk about other things in the office.
Zheng Qingbo is currently handling the replacement and purchase of land with Jardine Group and Land Group, so he cannot leave for the time being.
However, with the strength of Jardine Land, the transfer should not take long. When he finishes his work over there, Zheng Qingbo can catch up if he comes over here.
Now, Su City has to wait for other people in charge of the Wheelock Group to come over and settle the contract together, so there is no rush.
Think about it, today he directly negotiated two cooperation projects, and they were both negotiated with one of the four major foreign banks. The cash transaction alone involved 3.6 billion Hong Kong dollars. Su Group Building and The replacement of Sheung Wan Land Pier has not been taken into account yet.
If this matter is spread, it will definitely cause a sensation in the whole of Hong Kong! (End of this chapter)
