We're building a super chaebol in Hong Kong
#347 - Invite all the big guys
After hanging up with Su Cheng, Y.K. Pao immediately took action.
Now, he is the Taipan of Wharf, so he naturally cares a lot about Wharf's affairs.
The development of the World-Wide Shipping Group was built by him from scratch. Except for major events, he doesn't need to deal with some minor matters at all.
Moreover, he also has several sons-in-law to help him manage the business. Therefore, Y.K. Pao now has more time to deal with matters at Wharf.
Since it is a press conference, it is natural to invite major media outlets.
Therefore, Y.K. Pao directly wrote an invitation letter in his capacity as the Taipan of Wharf, and after making multiple copies, he asked his subordinates to send them out.
All the major media in Hong Kong were basically within his invitation range, such as佳艺 Television, TVB,麗的 Television, Ming Pao, Oriental Daily News,俠義 News, Sing Chew Daily, etc.
In addition, some international media reporters stationed in Hong Kong were also put on the invitation list by Y.K. Pao.
In his opinion, Su Cheng's investment in Wharf and becoming the second largest shareholder of Wharf is of great significance to the future development of Wharf, so this matter must be vigorously promoted.
After getting these things done, it's not over yet.
He plans to invite some heavyweight figures over.
Michael Sandberg, the Taipan of Hongkong and Shanghai Banking Corporation, must be invited. He and Michael Sandberg have been partners for many years.
In addition, Mr. Li of Cheung Kong Holdings should also be invited. Although Mr. Li's current status is insufficient, he was able to take control of Wharf because of Mr. Li's support, selling the Wharf shares in his hand to Y.K. Pao, which allowed Y.K. Pao to truly take down Wharf.
Before Su Cheng showed his face, Y.K. Pao could be said to be the well-deserved richest man in Hong Kong.
Even if he doesn't have the title of World Shipping King, in Hong Kong, his status is very important.
Y.K. Pao personally called each of these people to invite them.
Invited personally by Y.K. Pao, even if they have something to do the next day, they will postpone it.
Therefore, after making all the calls, Y.K. Pao received responses from everyone. Except for Philip Haddon-Cave, everyone else will attend the press conference on time as guests, including Mr. Murray MacLehose, the Governor of Hong Kong.
Originally, Murray MacLehose had an important government meeting to attend. If it was just Y.K. Pao's invitation, he might have refused on the grounds of having something to do.
However, this press conference not only involves the World Shipping King, but also the World's Richest Man, which has to be taken seriously by Murray MacLehose.
Therefore, Murray MacLehose directly issued an order to postpone the government meeting.
Philip Haddon-Cave will definitely not participate. He previously also served as the Taipan of Wharf. After being ousted by Y.K. Pao, he has a lot of opinions on Y.K. Pao.
Moreover, now Su Cheng got the shares from him, and at a very low price, which is a kind of shame for him and Jardine Matheson.
Under such circumstances, where would he have the face to attend this press conference?
Therefore, he naturally rejected Y.K. Pao's invitation.
At this time, Su Cheng was at home teaching Ah Jiao and Ah Mei how to play computer games. He had no idea that Y.K. Pao had made such a big deal, inviting almost all the bigwigs in the Hong Kong business community to attend the press conference.
Time quickly came to the morning of November 16th.
At 8:00 in the morning, Y.K. Pao specially called Su Cheng again to remind Su Cheng to arrive at the press conference on time.
After all, the protagonist of this press conference is Su Cheng. It is essential that he be there.
Otherwise, everyone else has arrived, but Su Cheng, the protagonist, is late, it would definitely be very embarrassing.
Therefore, Su Cheng went out directly at half past eight and headed to the Wharf Group headquarters.
The Wharf headquarters is located in Tsim Sha Tsui. Coming from Barker Road, because it was just during the peak commuting hours, it took nearly half an hour for Su Cheng to reach the Wharf Group headquarters.
The Wharf headquarters building is a building with only a dozen floors, the building is slightly old, and it is very close to the Wharf freight terminal and the Harbour City which is under construction.
Wharf was founded in 1886 and has a history of nearly a hundred years.
In the past, Wharf's industry was mainly the freight terminal, but as the status of the terminal business was gradually replaced by other terminals, this terminal is no longer the number one freight terminal in Hong Kong.
The famous Harbour City in the future is now under construction in stages.
In addition, Wharf also has a large amount of land, and these lands are now very valuable plots.
In Su Cheng's opinion, the most valuable thing about Wharf is these plots of land under its banner.
The most ⊥ new ⊥ small ⊥ say ⊥ in ⊥ six ⊥ 9 ⊥ ⊥ book ⊥ ⊥ bar ⊥ ⊥ first ⊥ hair!
As for the wharf warehouse, with the commissioning of the Kwai Chung Container Terminal, it has gradually declined in the 1970s.
It is precisely because of this that Wharf has already been preparing to build Harbour City.
However, even if it declines, it will not delay its outstanding location advantage.
Especially the Wharf freight terminal here is a valuable piece of land.
After a few more years, a Harbour City building complex will be formed here. As for the Wharf freight terminal.
Now that Su Cheng has invested in Wharf, this land naturally has a share of his.
After the driver parked the car, Su Cheng stood downstairs and looked up at this slightly dilapidated building.
This is also a prime location, and if this building is demolished and a new building is built, its value will immediately increase countless times.
There was less than an hour left before the press conference. Y.K. Pao was originally arranging the affairs of the press conference in the lobby on the first floor. Turning his head, he saw Su Cheng walking out of the car door, so he greeted him with a smile.
A young man came out with Su Cheng.
"Mr. Su, you are finally here, welcome home." Y.K. Pao laughed heartily.
"This is my first time to the Wharf Building, Mr. Pao, please take care of me." Su Cheng shook hands with Y.K. Pao and said with a smile.
After speaking, he turned to look at the young man next to Y.K. Pao. This young man was about thirty years old. Being able to be with Y.K. Pao must also be an important figure in Wharf.
"Who is this?" Su Cheng asked, reaching out his hand.
"Let me introduce you, this is my second son-in-law, Peter Wu, who helped me take down Wharf before. Now he is the general manager of Wharf Group." Y.K. Pao introduced from the side.
"Hello, Mr. Wu, I often see your name in the newspaper. Please forgive me for not recognizing you when I first met you. At first glance, you are a talented person." Su Cheng shook hands with Peter Wu and said.
"Mr. Su is the person I admire the most. Although I am older than you, in my opinion, you are my predecessor in the business world." Peter Wu said modestly.
