"In this case, let me contact Mr. Su personally. We have a good basis for cooperation with Mr. Su. I believe that this proposal will receive a positive response from him, and the entire decision-making process should go smoothly." Li Ka-shing said decisively A final decision was made.
"Meeting adjourned!" Li Ka-shing announced the end of the meeting.
Within Wheelock Group, Su Cheng successfully obtained the position of deputy chairman. This proposal was approved by all 26 members at the board meeting without any suspense.
For Wheelock Group, the addition of Sioux City is undoubtedly seen as a positive signal rather than a burden.
Su Cheng stated frankly at the meeting that given the large number of companies under his name, it would be difficult for him to be distracted from managing the daily affairs of Wheelock Group. Therefore, he promised not to directly interfere with the company's operations and management. The daily board of directors Meetings may also be too busy to attend frequently.
However, he also solemnly promised to fully support the decisions of John Madden, chairman of the board of directors, which undoubtedly gave John Madden a reassurance.
As a result, John Madden felt extremely gratified. Not only did he successfully introduce Su Cheng, the powerful second largest shareholder, but he also ensured that the other party would not dictate the company's operations. This was the best state he expected.
In the end, the board meeting ended successfully in an atmosphere of harmony and joy, and all participants were full of expectations for the future.
"Mr. John, I still have some urgent matters to deal with, so I have to take a step forward. I believe that under your wise leadership, the Wheelock Group will be able to prosper, and I will naturally be able to enjoy the benefits and receive the goods with peace of mind. My dividends. I have always had a high degree of trust in your talent and decisiveness."
Sioux City said to John Madden with a smile as he was about to leave the Wheelock Group Building. .
"Mr. Su, your trust is my biggest motivation. Please rest assured that I am more eager for the prosperity of Wheelock Group than anyone else, because my interests are closely linked to the fate of the group. The higher the group's profits, the higher my income Naturally, the rising tide will lift all boats."
John Madden patted his chest, his eyes revealing firm determination.
"Okay, then I won't disturb you. Mr. John, please stay." Su Cheng nodded, then waved goodbye to John Madden.
Accompanied by bodyguards, after taking the elevator down to the first negative floor, Su Cheng walked into the underground parking lot of the Wheelock Group Building.
He walked straight to his Jaguar bulletproof private car. After getting into the car, he said to Lao Liu, who was already waiting in the driver's seat: "Lao Liu, go back to Baijia Road."
"Yes, boss!" Lao Liu responded and started the engine, and then the vehicle smoothly drove out of the parking lot and headed towards Sioux City's residence on Baijia Road.
Sitting in the Jaguar bulletproof car, Su Cheng stared out of the car window at the increasingly prosperous street scene in Xiangjiang, but his face looked particularly calm, as if all this prosperity was not consistent with the turmoil in his heart.
Purchasing shares of Wheelock Group is just a part of a careful layout for him. He understands that real gains require time and patience.
While he was immersed in his own thoughts, a clear ringtone from his mobile phone broke the silence in the car.
"Hello, I'm Su Cheng." He pressed the answer button calmly, with an imperceptible calmness in his voice.
"Hello, Mr. Su, I'm Li Ka-shing. I'm sorry to bother you. Is it convenient for you now? I have something I want to talk to you about." On the other end of the phone, Li Ka-shing's voice was full of sincerity and expectation.
Su Cheng smiled slightly, already thinking about it. "Of course I'm free, Mr. Li. Well, if you don't mind, you can come to my personal office in the Su Group Building and we'll talk in detail." He said in a gentle tone.
After hanging up the phone, Su Cheng noticed that the vehicle had not yet left Central and the journey to the Su Group Building was not far away.
Lao Liu, who was sitting in the co-pilot, seemed to have already understood the boss's thoughts. Without saying anything, he skillfully adjusted the direction, turned the car around steadily, and drove towards the Su Group Building. Silence returned to the car again.
"Okay, Mr. Su, I expect to arrive within twenty minutes." Li Ka-shing replied clearly on the other end of the phone, his tone revealing a capable and urgent tone.
After hanging up the phone, Su Cheng was still surprised by the call from Li Ka-shing. Why was Li Ka-shing looking for him?
In the memory of his previous life, Li Ka-shing did not show a strong interest in Wheelock Group. This led to Suzhou City not arranging to have a deeper understanding of Li Ka-shing's situation through Brother Wu, nor did he expect that Li Ka-shing had already shown interest in Wheelock Group. The group has carried out careful planning for two years.
Now, Sioux City has only purchased the shares of Wheelock Group from Jardine Matheson, which inadvertently made the two years of efforts of Li Ka-shing's team seem to have come to naught. This is undoubtedly an unexpected turn.
Therefore, facing Li Ka-shing's upcoming meeting, Su Cheng was full of doubts and confusion.
He secretly wondered what the real purpose of Li Ka-shing's trip was - was he seeking some specific business cooperation, or did he have a deeper intention?
However, on second thought, with his current identity and status in the business world, Su Cheng felt that there was no need to worry too much.
He believes that Li Ka-shing, as an equally shrewd businessman, will not easily do things that harm the interests of both parties.
The most likely scenario is that Su Cheng speculates that Li Ka-shing may want to have in-depth discussions and cooperation with him on certain business issues.
As for the specific content of the cooperation, it can only be announced when the two parties meet.
With this kind of thinking, Su Cheng walked into the Su Group Building and went straight back to his reception room.
He sat on the comfortable sofa, adjusted to the best condition, and waited for Li Ka-shing's arrival.
Su City did not wait long before the staff of Su Group Building led Li Ka-shing into the reception room.
Li Ka-shing came alone, looking capable and focused.
Seeing this, Su Cheng immediately stood up and walked forward with a smile: "Mr. Li, it's been a long time since I last saw you. You look more energetic."
Hearing this, Li Ka-shing also showed a humble smile on his face: "No, Mr. Su has given me the award. I am already in my fifties and will soon become an old man, but you, Mr. Su, have made extraordinary achievements at such a young age. It's really It’s so enviable!”
“Mr. Li, please sit down,” Su Cheng said, pointing to the sofa aside and motioning for Li Ka-shing to take a seat.
After the two sat down, a harmonious yet formal atmosphere suddenly filled the living room.
"Mr. Li, would you like something to drink?" Su Cheng smiled, his tone revealing some kindness and thoughtfulness.
Li Ka-shing smiled softly and replied: "Just a cup of tea, thank you Mr. Su for your hospitality."
Before he finished speaking, Su Cheng gently raised his hand to signal. The assistant who followed him immediately understood and quickly and elegantly exited the reception room.
After a while, the assistant returned with a cup of steaming, fragrant tea and gently placed it on the coffee table in front of Li Ka-shing, his movements were skillful and polite. (End of this chapter)
