The next day, Sioux City did not delay and directly called its finance department to transfer HK$700 million to Mr. Kolis Mitrovic's account.
Although this amount of money is quite large, Su Cheng doesn’t bother to drag it out.
After all, cooperation is mutual, others are so generous, and credibility is accumulated one by one.
Su Cheng unexpectedly obtained this 3.89% share and did not tell anyone.
Except for telling Zhang Qizheng about it, he didn’t tell anyone.
He told Zhang Qizheng that it was because Zhang Qizheng was the direct person in charge of this project and he suddenly owned 3.89% of the shares of Jardine Matheson Group, which could provide him with some help in how to arrange Jardine Matheson and Land Company in the future.
Zhang Qizheng was also very excited when he learned that Su Cheng had acquired so many Jardine shares after a trip to England. This indeed reduced a lot of conflicts for their next actions.
After all, the transaction between Sioux City and Mr. Kolis Mitrovic not only directly weakened the shares of the British consortium, but also caused a substantial increase in the shares of Jardine Matheson Group they controlled.
Originally, the shares of Jardine Matheson Group were not their main goal, just a secondary goal.
The acquisition of these 3.89% shares, coupled with the Jardine shares they had secretly acquired before, allowed them to secretly directly become the third largest shareholder of Jardine Group. It was simply an unexpected gain.
After telling Zhang Qizheng what had happened, Su Cheng turned his attention back to Britain.
Today was also the time for the Queen to receive him. In the morning, the staff at Buckingham Palace called him specifically to tell him the time for the Queen to receive him.
Sioux City was also full of curiosity about the longest-reigning Queen of England, but that was all.
Before meeting the Queen, Su Cheng also has to meet with the British Prime Minister.
No matter which country a big entrepreneur like Su Cheng goes to, senior government officials will meet and win over him.
What's more, Xiangjiang is still a British colony for the time being, which means that Sioux City is one of them in their hearts.
Although the Xiangjiang people immigrated to the UK, they were only reduced to second-class citizens in the UK. However, the identity and status of Sioux City were different after all, so they naturally treated them differently.
So, after lunch, Su Cheng went to No. 10 Downing Street.
Meeting with Su Cheng were the British Prime Minister and some senior British officials.
This kind of meeting is usually just for fun. Su Cheng is very good at flattering each other.
During the negotiation, Sioux City also fully affirmed the UK's business development speed, business environment, etc.
The other party also kept touting Su Cheng's business talent, his contribution to the world, etc.
Finally, I sincerely invite Sioux City to continue investing heavily in Yunyun in the UK.
After exiting No. 10 Downing Street, Sioux City had signed several documents with the British government under the witness of reporters.
For example, a cooperation intention has been reached in a certain place in the UK, such as signing a mobile telecommunications network coverage project with Birmingham, such as Sioux City investing 10 million Hong Kong dollars to donate to British charities, doing charity, etc.
This is definitely unavoidable. After all, if he makes money from the UK, he must give some of it back to them in some way.
Otherwise, they will definitely find ways to embarrass Su Cheng.
It’s only 10 million Hong Kong dollars, which is not much for Su City.
But it also gave him a reputation as a philanthropist in the UK, gaining the respect of more people and achieving multiple things with one stone.
At five o'clock in the afternoon, Su Cheng went to Buckingham Palace, a famous British attraction, and met with the Queen at Buckingham Palace.
In addition to the Queen, Prince Philip, and several princes also met with Sioux City.
The content of the chat is all topics that are not nutritious.
The whole family is very welcoming.
In general, Su Cheng felt that the royal family seemed to be wooing him and were very friendly to him.
Especially the little princes regard Su Cheng as their idol.
At six o'clock in the evening, Su Cheng stayed at Buckingham Palace and had a sumptuous dinner. It wasn't until eight o'clock in the evening that Su Cheng came out of Buckingham Palace.
And he also had a group photo on his hand.
In the group photo, the Queen, Prince Philip, and Sioux City were sitting in the front, and several princes and princesses were standing in the back. For those who didn’t know, they thought they were a family.
Su Cheng originally did not want to stand in this way, but the Queen strongly requested it, and Su Cheng had no choice but to agree.
It’s just a photo anyway.
After coming out of Buckingham Palace, Su Cheng thought for a moment and was not in a hurry to go back. Instead, he asked bodyguard Lao Liu to drive to the vicinity of Tower Bridge.
It’s rare to find a person who can relax and unwind.
Even in winter, London’s nightlife is obviously very lively.
Although it is already past eight o'clock in the evening, there are still many pedestrians on the street.
Walking on the streets full of bars and dance halls, Su City felt the atmosphere of the city at night.
Entering these bars and dance halls, it is easy to have an affair.
But Su Cheng did not go in, because he knew that these places were very chaotic.
Not just in London, but all over the world, the most chaotic places are these.
In order to avoid trouble, he had no idea of going in, even if he was protected by two bodyguards.
This time when he went to Buckingham Palace, he did not bring too many bodyguards because they were not necessary.
After walking around for half an hour and looking at the bustling night, Su City had the idea of going back.
So he said to Lao Liu and the others: "Let's go back."
Returning to the parking position, Su Cheng directly got into the back seat.
Ten minutes later, their car had returned to the Su Group Building.
London, England, he has been to several times in the past few years.
He has actually visited all the famous attractions in central London.
It was fresh once, but after the second or third time, it started to feel a little boring.
People are like this. The first try is often full of infinite curiosity and freshness, and the unique charm is unforgettable.
However, with the second and third repetitions, the excitement and freshness of the first encounter may gradually fade and become a bit boring and dull.
This is precisely because human nature has a natural yearning and pursuit for the unknown and novelty. Once familiarity and habits are formed, the original attraction will naturally weaken.
Therefore, people often say that the first experience is always so special. It carries the joy of exploring the unknown and the infinite longing for new things.
The main purpose of coming to London is the Queen's invitation and meeting with relevant senior British officials. These have been achieved today. The main purpose of coming to the UK this time can be considered completed.
Next, Sioux City can leave the UK at any time.
However, now that he is here, he naturally cares about his own business.
Today, not only the Su Group has branches in Europe, but also the European branch of Hutchison Group, Wonderhan Bank, the European branch of Tianqiong Semiconductor Company, and even Namei Entertainment, etc., all have their headquarters in London.
In particular, Namei Entertainment Company has now focused on developing its business in Europe, so this is already a very important market for Namei Entertainment Company.
He usually has no chance to inspect the branch headquarters of these companies here.
Now that I have come to the UK, it is natural to visit every place. (End of this chapter)
