We're building a super chaebol in Hong Kong

Hearing Su Cheng's words, Bard was already starting to believe him.

Everyone knew that Su Cheng's wealth could rival a country; he was recognized as the world's richest man.

If he really wanted to take over a Hong Kong listed company, no one could stop him.

It was useless to deny it; he had to recognize the facts.

Besides, if he really acquired so many shares, it would be clear when he announced it directly, so there was no need to lie to him.

Thinking of this, Bard sighed.

"Mr. Su, I wonder what your purpose is in holding a controlling stake in Hong Kong Electric? What are your plans for the future?" Bard forced himself to perk up and asked, looking up.

"It's very simple. I'm quite optimistic about Hong Kong Electric's high-quality fixed assets. I think the true value of Hong Kong Electric is much greater than its actual market value. Buying it is like making a profit. For me, this is just an ordinary business transaction and is not aimed at anyone. As for future plans, I haven't thought about it yet. I'll make plans after I take over Hong Kong Electric. The purpose of my visit this time is to give you some mental preparation," Su Cheng said with a smile.

Hearing Su Cheng's words, Bard felt a little helpless.

What made him most helpless was his current situation.

The company he managed had become someone else's without his full knowledge. If the other person wanted to fire him, it could be said that they could do so at any time.

Just the day before, he was still the proud head of Hong Kong Electric, but in the blink of an eye, he had become someone who could be manipulated at will.

This kind of helplessness could only be felt by those who were in the same situation.

Back then, when Su Cheng completely took over Hutchison Whampoa, Li Wei also had this feeling.

Bard was naturally very clear about these things. After all, the circle of British-funded enterprise management elites was so small, and everyone knew the inside stories.

At that time, Bard was happily watching the show, thinking that it was fine as long as it didn't happen to him.

However, Li Wei was recognized by Su Cheng, so he stayed to continue managing Hutchison Whampoa.

Unexpectedly, it was his turn this time. He wondered if this Su Cheng could tolerate him?

Bard had worked at Hong Kong Electric for most of his life. To be honest, if he were suddenly asked to leave Hong Kong Electric, he would still be a little reluctant.

Moreover, he had earned more money in the past few years here than he had earned in the previous twenty years, which made him even more unwilling to leave Hong Kong Electric just like that.

However, the decision was not in his hands. Whether he could stay depended on Su Cheng.

Since Su Cheng had already completely controlled Hong Kong Electric, no matter how he tried, it would be impossible to take it back.

Therefore, he had already given up the idea of competing with Su Cheng.

Thinking of this, Bard decided to take the initiative: "Mr. Su, as you know, I have worked at Hong Kong Electric for most of my life and am very familiar with it. Moreover, I believe that my management skills are also top-notch in Hong Kong. I wonder if I can continue to stay at Hong Kong Electric. I can also be like Mr. Li Wei, step down from the position of chairman and take the position of president of Hong Kong Electric. As long as I am at Hong Kong Electric, I believe that Hong Kong Electric will soon become one of the top three companies in Hong Kong!"

Back then, he had heard that the reason why Li Wei stayed was entirely because Su Cheng had asked him to stay.

Why did it change when it came to him?

Moreover, he had personally and actively requested to stay, but the result was not as he had imagined.

Could it be that he was too flattering? Should he have remained aloof?

Bard even regretted it a little. If he had known earlier, he would not have taken the initiative to request to stay. Maybe Su Cheng would have treated him like he treated Li Wei.

After all, Bard believed that his ability was no worse than Li Wei's.

Li Wei was able to turn the loss-making Hutchison Whampoa into a profit, and he had also managed Hong Kong Electric in a colorful way.

A sense of unwillingness arose in Bard's heart.

However, Su Cheng didn't care about these things.

Today's meeting with Bard did not give him a very good first impression.

Therefore, Su Cheng didn't care what this Mr. Bard was thinking.

"Then I wonder when Mr. Su will announce to the outside world that you have become the controlling shareholder of Hong Kong Electric?" Bard asked.

He didn't want to ask so much about other things.

"Let's do it at 10 am the day after tomorrow. I asked someone to calculate the time. November 20th is a good day. By the way, tomorrow I will have Tianyuan Investment Company file all the shares with the Hong Kong Stock Exchange. I believe you will be able to check it then," Su Cheng said with a smile.

"Okay, I will arrange everything properly the day after tomorrow. I believe that Mr. Su should also be able to see my ability during this half month," Bard said in a flattering tone.

"Mr. Bard, let's talk about it here today. We'll see you the day after tomorrow," Su Cheng said, extending his hand to shake hands with Bard.

Regardless of whether Bard was a qualified manager, Su Cheng would not create conflicts with him now. After all, Hong Kong Electric would still need him to maintain order for a while.

As for whether Bard would become the president of Hong Kong Electric like Li Wei, Su Cheng needed to seriously consider it.

The asset scale of Hong Kong Electric was not much smaller than the original Hutchison Whampoa.

Such a large listed company definitely needed an excellent leader for Su Cheng to be at ease.

Let Su Cheng manage it himself?

Please, he doesn't even personally manage Hutchison Whampoa and Su's Group, which he holds 100% of the shares in. How could he personally manage Hong Kong Electric, which only accounts for 52.9% of the shares!

What's more, he felt that he was not the material for managing large enterprises.

"Okay, Mr. Su, see you the day after tomorrow."
