We're building a super chaebol in Hong Kong

As soon as the meeting ended, Niubi Jian couldn't wait to return to his office.

As the person in charge of Jardine Matheson Group, he deeply felt the difficulties in the group's current operations.

Many departments needed funds but couldn't get the necessary financial support.

This wasn't the most important thing; the most important thing was that some of their loans from HSBC Bank, Barclays Bank, etc., were about to mature.

If they couldn't repay the loans in time after they matured, the decline in credit would be secondary.

Some of the loans were secured with equity or similar collateral.

If that happened, the bank would have the right to sell these stocks, which would completely disrupt the group's operations and development.

Therefore, he was now extremely eager to sell the Wharf shares as soon as possible to obtain these funds.

So, Niubi Jian needed to contact Su Cheng as soon as possible to reach this deal, preferably getting the HK$500 million today.

Therefore, indoor running or swimming was a good choice.

Although it was already November, the highest daytime temperature in Hong Kong today reached 28 degrees Celsius, and it was still a bit hot.

After swimming for a while, Su Cheng got up and walked to the beach chair by the swimming pool to lie down.

Ajiao and Amei, wearing sexy bikinis, followed Su Cheng out of the water.

"Young Master, would you like some fruit?" Ajiao asked嬌滴滴, holding a bunch of grapes.

Today's Hong Kong was clear and sunny, and the sunlight was a bit dazzling.

Su Cheng picked up a pair of sunglasses, put them on, and said with a smile, "Eat."

After hearing this, Ajiao picked up a grape, carefully peeled it, and removed the seeds.

Amei, seeing this, also joined in.

At this moment, Niubi Jian happened to call Su Cheng's living room.

The phone rang several times in a row, but still no one answered.

Anxious, Niubi Jian flew into a rage in the office, smashing the cup on the desk to the floor.

The "clang" sound frightened the young and beautiful female assistant beside him so much that she didn't dare to breathe.

Since taking office as the Taipan of Jardine Matheson, he had been a high-ranking figure in Hong Kong no matter the occasion.

Even when dealing with Murray MacLehose, he was treated as an equal.

When had he ever suffered such grievances?

After venting his anger, Niubi Jian composed himself and continued to make phone calls.

However, this time he called the office of Weili, the president of Hutchison Whampoa, instead of Su Cheng's home.

Weili had served as the Taipan of Hutchison Whampoa before Su Cheng took over.

Everyone was from British-funded enterprises, so Niubi Jian naturally had connections with Weili.

He felt that the reason Su Cheng wasn't answering the phone should be that he wasn't at home.

This was the trouble of not having a mobile phone.

If mobile phones were popular, finding people wouldn't be so troublesome anymore.

So, he could only ask Weili to see if Su Cheng had gone to the Hutchison Whampoa headquarters building.

In Niubi Jian's view, Su Cheng, as the Taipan of Hutchison Whampoa, should often go to the company.

However, he didn't know that Su Cheng liked being a hands-off manager and had hardly ever been to Hutchison Whampoa.

The call was quickly connected.

Weili was surprised to hear that it was Niubi Jian calling.

When he learned that he wanted to find Su Cheng, Weili said that Su Cheng was not at the company, but he was willing to help him find out where the boss was now.

Subsequently, Weili called Zhang Qizheng, Yang Chaoye, Li Yihui, and others, but they all said that the boss had not been to their place today.

After some tossing around, Su Cheng's phone call came to Niubi Jian's office.

It turned out that Su Cheng had just returned to the third floor from the swimming pool and was preparing to take a hot shower.

However, when passing by the telephone, he habitually looked to see if there were any missed calls and found that there were several missed calls, and they were all from the same number.

As soon as Su Cheng called back, Niubi Jian immediately answered the phone.

"Mr. Niubi Jian, I'm really sorry, I just got back from outside and saw your missed calls, so I contacted you immediately," Su Cheng said apologetically.

"Mr. Su, we have already held a board meeting, and we have agreed to the price of 500 million.

I wonder if we can trade today?" Niubi Jian asked quickly, already putting his unhappiness aside.

Now that the meeting had passed, he only wanted the money and not the shares.

"I didn't expect Mr. Niubi Jian to be so quick."

Su Cheng was a little surprised to hear Niubi Jian's words.

It seemed that Jardine Matheson's current situation was not good.

Was HK$500 million not enough of a rip-off?

Forget it, forget it, one shouldn't be too greedy.

It was meaningless to go back on his word now.

Thinking of this, Su Cheng said with a smile, "Mr. Niubi Jian, of course, we can.

How about this? In an hour, someone will go to the Jardine Matheson headquarters building to find you.

At that time, you can discuss the detailed sales agreement, and after the negotiations are completed and the contract is signed, I will confirm it, and the funds will be transferred to your company's account immediately."

"Isn't Mr. Su coming over?" Niubi Jian asked.

In his view, a transaction of HK$500 million was no small matter.

In this situation, Su Cheng, as the boss, should come in person.

"I have something I can't get away from.

Mr. Niubi Jian, please rest assured.

The person I sent you should also know, Mr. Zhang Qizheng, the general manager of Tianyuan Investment Company.

He will help me take care of everything.

After it's settled, he will send me a copy of the contract via fax.

Mr. Niubi Jian should also know that I have my own bank under my name.

I will arrange for the bank to transfer the money at that time," Su Cheng replied.

If it had been a few months ago, HK$500 million would have indeed been a considerable amount of money for Su Cheng.

But now, HK$500 million was not much to him anymore.

Therefore, things like signing contracts could be left to Zhang Qizheng to do.

Anyway, the price had already been negotiated, so he didn't need to worry about the details.

After hanging up the phone, Niubi Jian's mood improved a lot.

Things were finally going smoothly.

Although he had previously raged in the office and was very dissatisfied with Su Cheng, Su Cheng was now recognized worldwide as the world's richest man, so he naturally didn't dare to reveal it on the phone.

Now, he was just waiting for Mr. Zhang Qizheng from Tianyuan Company to come to his door.

After Su Cheng hung up Niubi Jian's phone, he called Zhang Qizheng's office at Tianyuan Investment Company.

In the phone call, Su Cheng told Zhang Qizheng about the matter in detail.

Zhang Qizheng would naturally handle Su Cheng's instructions well.

However, Zhang Qizheng was also very surprised at this time.

"Boss, you can be considered to be taking advantage of the fire!" Zhang Qizheng said with emotion on the phone.

Having lived in Hong Kong for five years, Zhang Qizheng naturally knew the value of Wharf.

Now, the boss was actually buying 29.87% of Wharf's shares for a price of HK$500 million, which was not just cost-effective, but also a case of taking advantage of the fire.

Of course, this was all a matter of mutual consent, without any forced buying or selling.

At this time, Zhang Qizheng only had sincere admiration for the boss.
