We're building a super chaebol in Hong Kong
#845 - Meet Lei Juekun
Working for a boss like this naturally comes with many advantages. Putting aside everything else, it's at least more convenient to get things done, and everyone will give you face.
"By the way, Mr. Meyrick, I have good news for you," Zhang Qizheng said with a smile.
"Oh? Mr. Zhang, please elaborate," Meyrick asked curiously.
"The car purchase initiative you proposed has a high probability of success. The boss has already instructed me to negotiate with certain car companies. If the negotiations go smoothly, the renewal of China Bus's buses will no longer be a problem in the future," Zhang Qizheng replied.
"Wow, that's really great news!" Meyrick was also very happy to hear this.
Before this, he thought this suggestion was just a very immature one.
Unexpectedly, such an immature suggestion actually had a chance to be realized, and the probability of it being realized was so high.
He even thought before that this suggestion was just a joke.
He once again deeply realized the boss's strength. A large project, he invests in it as soon as he says so, without much consideration at all.
The two then chatted for a few more sentences.
Before long, Zhang Qizheng returned to his office and compiled a detailed report for Meyrick regarding the previous game between Hongkong Electric Holdings and China Light and Power.
After compiling it, he directly gave it to Meyrick and let him understand it himself.
As for Zhang Qizheng, he still has a lot of things to do now and has no time to waste too much time on things that have nothing to do with him.
After receiving the information, Meyrick quickly became engrossed in this commercial war.
Even if the information is detailed, after the event is turned into words, it doesn't seem like much.
Therefore, Meyrick only spent nearly an hour reading the information.
Through the detailed information, he could even more clearly see how much confidence the boss, Su Cheng, had.
The Kadoorie family can be regarded as a traditional invisible super-rich family in Hong Kong, but facing Su Cheng's competition, they were still beaten to a pulp and had no room for resistance.
Afterwards, he also asked his subordinates to collect a lot of information on the competitor, Kowloon Motor Bus.
As the saying goes, know yourself and your enemy, and you will never be defeated.
Since he wants to expand his territory, he naturally needs to have a sufficient understanding of his opponent.
Through understanding, Meyrick was surprised to find that some of the boss's subsidiaries also had multiple collaborations with Lui Che-Koon of Kowloon Motor Bus.
For example, after the boss acquired the Junk Bay Water Park and reopened it after renovation, the water park cooperated with Kowloon Motor Bus to bring a very large flow of passengers to the Junk Bay Water Park by adding bus routes.
For example, the boss acquired Lai Sun Theatre Circuit in the past, and the original boss of Lai Sun Theatre Circuit was Lui Che-Koon.
It seems that this Mr. Lui Che-Koon is a very enlightened boss. He has always treated Su Cheng with goodwill.
After all, they have always shown goodwill.
Unlike China Light and Power, Su Cheng had no involvement with them before Su Cheng dealt with them.
Moreover, the Kadoorie family, the controller of China Light and Power, is not a Chinese family, but a Jewish family.
Therefore, the boss has no psychological burden in dealing with China Light and Power.
Meyrick didn't intend to discuss it with the boss. After all, if he asked him about everything, then he, the president, would be useless.
He wanted to do it himself as a gift for joining China Bus.
"There is an ancient saying in China called 'courtesy before force'. Why don't I visit Mr. Lui Che-Koon first and discuss the affairs of Tuen Mun and Junk Bay with him? If the other party knows what to do, I naturally don't need to be too ruthless. If the other party doesn't know what's good for him, then don't blame me for being impolite. I can threaten him with Tianyuan Investment Company's intention to acquire Kowloon Motor Bus, and in the end, he will still have to compromise."
Thinking of this, Meyrick couldn't wait to meet Lui Che-Koon immediately.
However, he knew that he couldn't rush things.
Therefore, Meyrick directly asked the company's public relations department to connect with Kowloon Motor Bus to arrange a meeting with Mr. Lui Che-Koon, the chairman of the board of directors of Kowloon Motor Bus.
After giving the order, Meyrick continued to study the development prospects of Junk Bay and Tuen Mun.
As for Lantau Island, Meyrick didn't have much interest.
This place is not only sparsely populated, but also has no connecting bridges. Operating buses there is destined to only make a small amount of money.
Even if the cross-sea bridge is opened in the future, Lantau Island's terrain will not be able to develop too much population.
Of course, it would be nice if the bus operating rights of Lantau Island could also be merged, but Lantau Island is not within the scope of Kowloon Motor Bus's operations, so it has nothing to do with this matter.
At this time, Meyrick didn't know that the future Lantau Island would not only have a cross-sea bridge, but also a new Hong Kong International Airport.
If he knew, he would definitely not have such an idea.
After all, if Lantau Island has an international airport, then airport buses will continuously travel between the center of Hong Kong and the new airport.
Of course, the new airport on Lantau Island, which has not even been finalized in planning, will have to wait at least ten years before it can be opened according to the true historical trend. The current Lantau Island bus market is indeed not important.
Even forty years later, the population of Lantau Island will only be about 100,000, which is a very small part of the population for the entire Hong Kong.
Zhang Qizheng quickly reported Meyrick's thoughts to Su Cheng.
Knowing that Meyrick actually had his eyes on Kowloon Motor Bus, Su Cheng was surprised, but he didn't have too many thoughts.
Perhaps in his heart, he really doesn't value the small amount of income from the bus business. Compared to the bus business, he values China Bus's future real estate business more.
However, since Meyrick wants to expand the territory for China Bus, Su Cheng naturally strongly supports him. He directly instructed Zhang Qizheng to fully help him if Meyrick needs any help.
As for Lui Che-Koon, Su Cheng can only be considered to know him, and there is not much friendship between them, and it is not as complicated as Meyrick thought.
The acquisition of Lai Sun Theatre Circuit was negotiated through the middleman Lam Bak-chung and was a normal business transaction, without any sentiment involved.
The bus routes in Junk Bay have even less to do with him. The entire process was negotiated by his subordinates. He didn't even make any suggestions, and Kowloon Motor Bus naturally opened this route to make money. Where is the sentiment?
Therefore, after Su Cheng learned of Meyrick's thoughts, he planned to let him do whatever he wanted.
Moreover, Su Cheng very much approved of Meyrick's idea. Junk Bay will belong to his Su Cheng's territory in the future. If Kowloon Motor Bus is still allowed to operate the buses in these places, it would be inappropriate.
