We're building a super chaebol in Hong Kong

With money in hand, one can be at ease!

Since he wasn't short of funds, Su Cheng was already considering taking some time to go to the West Coast of the United States for a wave of acquisitions.

Apple, Oracle, Intel, HP, Microsoft, and so on, these were all behemoth-level enterprises in later generations.

Although Su Cheng would eventually enter these fields, it was impossible to achieve a monopoly.

Merchants can never go against the government, which is a very realistic problem.

If you really monopolize these high-tech industries, whether in Europe or America, they will hit you with anti-trust laws, and the money you earn won't be enough to pay the fines.

Therefore, it's better to secretly acquire a portion of the shares of these promising companies, let them develop on their own, and wait for these companies to grow, acting as a behind-the-scenes figure. Isn't that great!

In fact, Su Cheng had long ago instructed Tianyuan Investment Management Company to register many offshore companies in the British Virgin Islands, the Cayman Islands, Niue, the Bahamas, the Seychelles, the Republic of Panama, the Republic of Mauritius, and Bermuda, using these companies' names to secretly absorb shares of Hutchison Whampoa and Hongkong and Kowloon Wharf.

These offshore companies also had multiple layers of shareholding, making it difficult to trace their origins.

This also led to Jardine Matheson, HSBC, Swire Group, and other British consortia failing to detect the anomalies of Hutchison Whampoa and Hongkong and Kowloon Wharf in time.

If Hongkong and Kowloon Wharf hadn't revealed it themselves, others would have remained completely in the dark.

And the sole owner of these offshore companies was Tianyuan Investment Management Company, and the sole shareholder of Tianyuan Investment Management Company was naturally Su Cheng.

Just as Su Cheng was considering acquiring shares in Silicon Valley companies, the phone rang.

It turned out that the call was from Director Liu of the headhunting firm. Last time, Su Cheng had asked them to help find a professional manager with rich management experience.

This time, Director Liu actually called Su Cheng because he couldn't get through to Su Cheng's phone, and later contacted Zhang Qizheng, who then gave him Su Cheng's phone number in London.

"President Su, it's really not easy to find you!" The moment the call connected, Director Liu said with great emotion.

"Director Liu, did you call me this time with good news?" Su Cheng asked with a smile.

"Indeed, it's good news. The talent that President Su asked me to find, after a period of searching, we learned that IBM's former Vice President of International Operations, Mr. Yang Chaoye, has officially applied to the IBM board of directors to resign due to disagreements with the IBM president on multiple decisions. If there are no accidents, he will leave IBM as early as this week," Director Liu said with a smile.

"IBM's vice president? He probably looks down on our Su's Group, right?" Su Cheng asked strangely.

"Director Liu, in that case, please tell him that if it's convenient, I hope he can come to London, because I will be staying here for about a week, and a branch is being built here. Since he wants to test me, then I can also take a look at his abilities," Su Cheng said with a smile.

It's good to have a Chinese, it's naturally more convenient to use than a foreigner.

Being able to work his way up from a junior employee to a powerful figure in IBM, without thinking, Su Cheng knew that this must be an extraordinary person, but he still had to see whether Mr. Yang Chaoye's management philosophy met his Su Cheng's standards for employing people.

"Okay, President Su, I will tell Mr. Yang Chaoye," Director Liu nodded.

"Thank you, Director Liu," Su Cheng said with a smile.

"This is all I should do, President Su. If there is nothing else, then I will hang up first," Director Liu said.

"Wait a minute, Director Liu, don't hang up yet. I still want to ask Director Liu some questions," Su Cheng said, stopping him.

"Please speak, President Su," Director Liu said curiously.

"It's like this, Director Liu, as the person in charge of your company, I think you should have a good relationship with your boss, right?" Su Cheng asked.

"Of course, my boss and I are actually classmates. His family is relatively wealthy. After graduation, he opened a labor service company. Later, he found that high-end talents were more scarce and easier to make money, so he turned around and started a headhunting company. It just so happened that I worked in a British headhunting company for several years after graduation. Later, at his invitation, I returned to Hong Kong and joined his company, becoming the general manager of the company. It's been more than ten years now," Director Liu said, recalling his experience with some emotion.

"That's just right, Mr. Liu, please help me ask how much it would cost to buy your company?" Su Cheng said with a smile.

"Um, President Su, did I hear you correctly? You want to buy our company?" Director Liu was a little dazed and repeated the question.

Please, Su Cheng is just their client, and in the blink of an eye, the client wants to buy their company?

What kind of melodramatic plot is this?

"Mr. Liu, you heard me correctly. I do want to buy a headhunting company. Of course, if your company is unwilling to sell, I can't force it. I will consider other companies," Su Cheng said with a smile.

"Okay, I will talk to my boss about this later. As for whether or not to sell, he will decide for himself," Director Liu said.

"Okay, then I won't continue to bother Director Liu. Goodbye," Su Cheng said with a smile and hung up the phone.

Su Cheng had actually thought about this question several times.

As his cash flow grew larger and larger, the number of companies under his umbrella would also increase.

Accompanying this was the lack of talent.

Therefore, after consideration, Su Cheng still wanted to buy a headhunting company to specifically search for talent for himself around the world.
