We're building a super chaebol in Hong Kong

"Yes, you've done a very good job, but this matter isn't urgent. I have a very important task for you. Postpone the acquisition of the car company. Finish this matter first, then deal with the car company," Su Cheng said directly.

"Boss, what is it? Just tell me," Zhang Qizheng said, curious to hear that Su Cheng had something urgent for him to handle.

Whatever matter he was being asked to handle at this time, it would undoubtedly be something in England.

After all, if it were something in Hong Kong, there would be no need to look for him, as he wasn't in Hong Kong.

"It's about the shares of HSBC Bank. Do you remember what we did in London, England, more than three years ago? There was a young man named Henry," Su Cheng said with a smile.

"I remember. Henry is very talented in finance. It's a pity we didn't bring him to our Tianyuan Investment Company." Speaking of Henry, Zhang Qizheng quickly remembered him.

"This morning, which is late at night in London time, he contacted me and said that their fund company currently has a batch of HSBC Bank shares to sell, amounting to 3.58%, worth over 220 million pounds.

Henry's fund company is currently experiencing financial difficulties, so they want to sell these HSBC Bank shares, but they can't find a buyer who can take over such a large number of shares in a short time. So, Henry finally came to me, asking if I was interested. They can sell them to me for 200 million pounds. This price is much lower than the market price. I also asked Brother Wu to investigate their situation, and it is indeed as they said.

Since you are in London, it is most appropriate for you to handle this matter. You should also know in the past six months that acquiring HSBC Bank shares is not easy. So this opportunity is rare, and I hope you can handle this matter as soon as possible, preferably within a day, and secure these 3.58% of HSBC Bank shares. I will have the funds ready with the finance department at any time. The sooner it is done, the better, lest there be any changes."

Su Cheng didn't say anything else and directly explained the reason for contacting him this time.

"Boss, this is indeed a rare opportunity. Although our Tianyuan Investment Company has established multiple trading centers, I have deeply realized the difficulty of acquiring HSBC Bank shares in the past six months. HSBC Bank shareholders are very shrewd. Once they detect any market changes, the price immediately rises.

Therefore, our traders have been hesitant to acquire them too quickly, and can only constantly exploit loopholes. But such opportunities are too rare, which is why our progress has been slow. I didn't expect such a good thing to come to us. It's rare! Boss, give me their contact information, and I will try my best to acquire these HSBC Bank shares as quickly as possible!"

Zhang Qizheng was also very excited after hearing Su Cheng's words. It was a rare opportunity.

As the person in charge of the HSBC Bank acquisition task, Zhang Qizheng knows how difficult it is to acquire HSBC Bank shares. Its acquisition difficulty compared to Hutchison Whampoa and Wharf is not on the same level at all. Even a seasoned veteran like him has to sigh that acquiring HSBC Bank is too difficult.

The acquisition of the car company can be done at any time, but the acquisition of HSBC Bank shares is not always available. This kind of opportunity must be seized, and if you miss it, you don't know when the next one will come.

"I've already told them that they will contact them again at 9:00 AM London time. How about this? It's only a little over an hour until 9:00 AM London time. I will call them at 9:00 AM London time and have them contact you. You just stay at the hotel and wait for my call, and then you can connect with them," Su Cheng said directly.

"Should we push the price down further? If they are really experiencing financial difficulties, we might be able to push it down further," Zhang Qizheng asked.

In the general manager's office of Morley Fund Company, Henry and Erki Asensio had been waiting by the phone, watching the time and paying attention to whether the phone was ringing.

Both Henry and Erki Asensio had dark circles under their eyes.

Last night, after contacting Su Cheng, although they went back to rest, it was obvious that neither of them could sleep after returning. Their minds were filled with various thoughts all night.

After finally waiting for dawn, both of them came to the company early.

Now, watching the time getting closer and closer to nine o'clock in the morning, their hearts became more and more nervous.

At this time, Erki Asensio's performance was completely unlike a general manager of a large company.

There was no way. As the redemption period got closer and closer, if he didn't fix this matter, he might be forced to jump off a building.

So, it would be strange if he could remain calm at this time.

Although he had seen many storms, who could remain calm in the face of a life-threatening situation!

If he could live, no one would want to die.

Before he could think of a better solution, Erki Asensio had also thought about leaving England and fleeing, but his entire family was in England. If he ran away, he would only implicate his family in the end.

So, he couldn't bring himself to run away.

Now that there was a way to solve the problem, it was the best thing possible.

"Ring ring ~"

When the time reached nine o'clock in the morning, the phone finally rang as scheduled.

Erki Asensio and Henry looked at each other and almost simultaneously breathed a sigh of relief.

The one who called was naturally Su Cheng.

He didn't say much and directly gave the other party the phone number of Zhang Qizheng's hotel room, asking them to contact Zhang Qizheng directly.

Erki Asensio and Henry showed joy on their faces after receiving the phone number.

Henry said excitedly: "Boss, I know Mr. Zhang Qizheng. We had a good relationship before. He taught me a lot of financial knowledge during that time. I didn't expect to be talking to him. I feel that this transaction should be stable!" (End of this chapter)
