We're building a super chaebol in Hong Kong

Putting aside other things, the total assets of China Bus now far exceed those of Cheung Kong Holdings.

Being the president of China Bus is much better than being the president of Cheung Kong Holdings.

In this world, Li Ka-shing, without acquiring Hutchison Whampoa, ultimately didn't rise to the top in one step, and is still two or three levels below a tycoon like Bao Yugang.

Cheung Kong Holdings, relying on the real estate industry, although making a lot of money, is ultimately just a listed company with a market value of several hundred million Hong Kong dollars, with its total market value still behind China Bus.

Since Su Cheng has set his sights on Maurice, he naturally intends to act quickly, lest Li Ka-shing seizes the opportunity first.

Maurice is an expert in the field of economic management. There are only a few such talents in the entire Hong Kong. If Su Cheng can recruit him for his own use, it will greatly benefit his career.

According to the information provided by Xiao Ai from another world, although it is unclear in which month Maurice joined Cheung Kong Holdings, he knows that Maurice joined Cheung Kong Holdings in 1979.

And this year is exactly 1979.

If Su Cheng doesn't try to poach Maurice, then eventually Maurice will be persuaded by Li Ka-shing in the last three or four months of 1979 and become a member of Cheung Kong Holdings.

With Li Ka-shing's personality, once he sets his sights on Maurice, he will definitely keep trying to persuade Maurice to agree to join Cheung Kong.

Therefore, time is running out, and he must bring Maurice over to their China Bus side before Li Ka-shing persuades him.

Thinking of this, Su Cheng has already decided to act immediately.

Time waits for no man, and the same is true for top talents.

After such a person is poached, they certainly won't change jobs in a short period of time, which is equivalent to losing the opportunity to poach him.

Seeing Zhang Qizheng's busy appearance, Su Cheng thought for a while and decided to interrupt his work first.

"Uncle Zhang, do you have Maurice's contact information?" Su Cheng walked over to Zhang Qizheng's desk and asked.

"Boss, are you going to call Mr. Maurice personally?" Zhang Qizheng put down his work, looked up, and asked in surprise.

"Yes, I have this idea. Mr. Maurice is a talent. It would be best if I could bring him over to work for me. Moreover, it can also allow you to focus your main energy on Tianyuan Investment Company. It's too tiring to also hold a position at China Bus," Su Cheng said with a smile.

"I have Maurice's phone number here. I'll write it down for you right away." Zhang Qizheng didn't say much else, directly opened the phone book, copied Maurice's phone number, and handed it to Su Cheng.

"Isn't the mobile signal in Singapore still not available?" Su Cheng asked in surprise when he saw that the number Maurice copied for him was a landline number.

"Yes, Singapore currently does not have mobile signal coverage, but according to my understanding, Singapore has already reached a cooperation agreement with Hutchison Telecom, and the cellular mobile telecommunications system is currently being laid out. It is said that it will cover the entire Singapore, so the construction period is relatively long.

But the construction of the signal towers should be completed within this year, and mobile signals can be available as early as the end of the year. That side is a wholly-owned company established by Hutchison Telecom, which means that all the profits will belong to Hutchison Telecom itself, unlike the London side, which needs to be jointly built with the local London government, with each holding 50% of the shares."

As Su Cheng's private investment manager, Zhang Qizheng is obviously also familiar with the situation of Su Cheng's various enterprises, and is very knowledgeable about Hutchison Telecom, a company that has recently risen to prominence.

"I won't disturb you then, continue with your work." Su Cheng said to Zhang Qizheng, holding the phone number.

He plans to call Maurice personally first, and it would be best to arrange a meeting with this expert in the field of economic management, so that it appears sincere. Moreover, it's not that he's inviting Maurice to come over to meet, but that Su Cheng plans to go to Singapore personally to meet with Maurice.

This is considered to be full of sincerity.

Otherwise, for example, if Li Ka-shing personally goes to Singapore to invite Maurice, but Su Cheng not only doesn't go, but also asks Maurice to come over, this will only make Maurice feel that Su Cheng is too arrogant and doesn't respect him. In this way, it will easily lead to Maurice ultimately choosing to join Li Ka-shing's Cheung Kong Holdings. Wouldn't this be counterproductive?

Su Cheng is not so obsessed with the idea that all the talents in the world will join him like simps when they see him. That's just daydreaming.

Zhang Qizheng, Wei Li, Zhang Zhongmou, which one of them didn't he personally go to meet and ultimately persuade?

It's not impossible to have top talents come to your door and actively join, but it's very rare.

It can be considered a great bargain that a top talent like Yang Chaoye was coincidentally contacted by Sanyo Headhunting and ultimately joined Su's Group. It's too difficult to have Sanyo Headhunting find another talent like this.

Top management talents all have pride. Just like when Su Cheng wanted to persuade Wei Li, he put in a lot of effort before finally persuading him.

Although Su Cheng is known as the world's richest man, others don't rely on him for food. Although they may respect him because of Su Cheng's status when they meet, others may not necessarily have the idea of working for Su Cheng.

In ancient times, Liu Bei visited Zhuge Liang's thatched cottage three times to invite him to come out of the mountains. Now, Su Cheng is going to Singapore to warmly invite Maurice to join!

If you want to bring Maurice over, you must have enough sincerity to impress him.

Holding the number, Su Cheng no longer disturbed Zhang Qizheng, but walked out of Zhang Qizheng's general manager's office and came to an office next door, opened the door and walked in.

This office is Su Cheng's private office in the Tianyuan Building. He used to come here more often, but since he set up a private reception room at Su's Group, he rarely comes to this office.

Despite this, Zhang Qizheng also kept this office and regularly sent people to clean it.

Su Cheng sat on the chair in the office, which was still spotless and very clean throughout the office.

Holding the mobile phone, Su Cheng dialed the number that Zhang Qizheng gave him.

"Beep beep beep ~"

After a series of rings, about ten seconds later, someone finally answered the phone.

"Hello, this is Maurice, who is this?" On the other end of the phone, a pure London accent came. Su Cheng had stayed in London for a while and could recognize this accent.

"Hello, Mr. Maurice, this is Su Cheng from Su's Group." Su Cheng simply introduced his background to the other party.

Su's Group may not be well-known worldwide, and some people may only know Oracle Computer Company, a subsidiary, and not Su's Group, the parent company, but in Asia, especially in Southeast Asia, Su's Group is still relatively well-known.

Therefore, by directly introducing Su's Group to him, the other party will naturally know who Su Cheng is.
