Sioux City happily accepted John Madden's sincere invitation and officially joined the board of directors of Wheelock Group. After this news was officially announced by Wheelock Group, it quickly swept the entire Hong Kong business community and became a hot topic on the streets.
As soon as the news came out, Wheelock Group's stock price seemed to be injected with a strong impetus, soaring for several days in a row, which not only attracted the attention of many investors, but also demonstrated the market's personal influence on Su Cheng and high recognition of strategic vision.
It was not until the craze gradually subsided that the stock price stabilized at a high level.
At this time, the stock price of Wheelock Group has risen by a full 30% compared with the original normal price.
Su Cheng’s move undoubtedly once again confirmed his extraordinary appeal in the business community.
For the public, Su Cheng's choice seems to be an invisible endorsement. The listed companies he favors and joins are naturally endowed with extremely high growth potential and investment value.
Today, in the financial hotspot of Xiangjiang, the name of Sioux City by investors is no longer just a simple symbol, but has transformed into an almost blind trust and following.
Every decision he makes affects the market and becomes an important indicator of capital flow.
Of course, Lin Haoran did not show excessive concern about the temporary rise in Wheelock Group's stock.
His vision is more far-reaching. Although he has the ambition to acquire Wheelock Group, his strategy is not to rush for success, nor has he considered privatizing it.
In Sioux City's view, not all of its companies need to be privatized. For example, Wheelock Group can maintain its status as a listed company and there is no need to privatize.
Lin Haoran learned about the development history from Xiao Ai and was very aware of the unpredictable changes in the Hong Kong market. In particular, the bubble problem in the Hong Kong real estate market was like the sword of Damocles hanging above his head.
He predicts that in the next three or four years, as the bubble crisis gradually emerges, the market will undergo a profound adjustment.
By then, investors such as John Madden are likely to be under pressure due to investment failures, and will have the idea of selling their equity.
Based on this prediction, Lin Haoran seemed calm and unhurried.
He believed that when the selling wave came, Sioux City, as an important member of Wheelock Group, with its keen insight and strong strength, would naturally be able to take advantage of the trend, take over these equity interests, and further consolidate its position within the group. position, and also paved the way for future strategic layout.
In October in Xiangjiang, the autumn breeze blows coolly and the climate is particularly pleasant.
Su Cheng stepped into this place he had never set foot before - the Wheelock Group Building, and he couldn't help but feel a little emotional.
When Sioux City had not yet emerged and his career had not yet taken off, there was almost no intersection between him and Wheelock Group. Their worlds were like two parallel lines that had never intersected.
However, with the gradual rise of Sioux City's business empire, his companies and Wheelock Group gradually became inextricably linked, and cooperation increased day by day.
However, most of these business transactions no longer require the personal intervention of Su Cheng, the big boss who has many things to do, and can be properly handled by his capable generals.
Therefore, although Sioux City was famous in the business world, he actually did not have many opportunities for in-depth interactions with John Madden, a giant who controlled a huge British-owned enterprise.
Most of their encounters were limited to brief interactions in some public places, such as at Governor MacLehose's banquet, or at large-scale business cooperation events held in Hong Kong, or at charity auctions. , the two of them probably just nodded politely and exchanged a shallow smile, that's all. Although Wheelock Group is also one of the top British-funded enterprises in Hong Kong, compared to industry legends such as Twisted Pik-kin and Shen Bi, John Madden's leadership style and influence are indeed unique. At the same time, it also revealed a certain gap, which prompted him to constantly seek new growth points and cooperation opportunities.
At this moment, more than 20 members of the group’s board of directors gathered in a solemn and elegant conference room of Wheelock Group.
As a top listed company with many shareholders, all the members who can be on the board of directors are the best in the industry, and these more than 20 people are the best among them.
John Madden, the leader of the group, is currently sitting at the head of the conference table, with a gentle and sincere smile on his face.
His words were full of expectations for the future and respect for the people in front of him: "Today, I am deeply honored to announce that our Wheelock Group Board of Directors will welcome a new member - Su Mr. Cheng. His joining will undoubtedly inject new vitality and wisdom into our team. Please welcome us with the warmest applause!”
As John Madden’s words fell, the conference room immediately rang. received thunderous applause.
Every member of the board of directors expressed their sincere welcome and expectation to the new partner with an enthusiasm that was almost ceremonial.
This applause not only contains recognition of Sioux City's personal achievements, but also expresses their common longing for a more brilliant future for Wheelock Group.
This industry giant from Sioux City suddenly became the second largest shareholder of Wheelock Group. This news shocked everyone inside and outside the group. This was indeed a major change that no one had expected.
Compared with the complex thoughts that John Madden may have had due to this change, the reactions of other shareholders were more direct and optimistic.
In their eyes, the addition of Suzhou City undoubtedly brings more opportunities and possibilities to Wheelock Group, and it brings only benefits without any disadvantages.
After all, the actual control of the group is still firmly in the hands of John Madden, the core management, and has little to do with them. As shareholders, they are more interested in enjoying the benefits brought by this. interests.
Although they are both members of the board of directors and have certain voting rights, it is John Madden, the chairman of the board of directors, who really makes the decision.
So, for ordinary board members, whether Su City will seize power has little to do with them.
The facts are just as they expected. Since Su City became a shareholder, Wheelock Group's shares have continued to rise, showing strong market performance.
This rising wave not only boosts the overall value of the group, but also benefits every shareholder.
Their personal wealth has soared as Wheelock's stock price has risen, and their worth has doubled.
Therefore, these shareholders showed great enthusiasm and welcome to Su City's arrival.
They understand that the joining of this big boss from Su City is not only a major improvement in the strength of Wheelock Group, but also brings a feast of wealth to themselves.
Under this background, Sioux City has undoubtedly become a "lucky star" in their eyes. (End of this chapter)
