#857 - Goodbye Shen Bi
After entrusting the task to Zhang Qizheng, Su Cheng was relieved and prepared to proceed with his own affairs.
Of course, he still had things to do.
In his office at the Tianyuan Building, Su Cheng made a call to Shen Bi, whom he hadn't contacted in a long time.
This time, since it involved acquiring shares from the Molie Foundation, it was impossible to keep it a secret. After all, the Molie Foundation was already a public shareholder of Huifeng Bank and had been for many years. This sudden sale of their Huifeng Bank shares would certainly require a notification to Huifeng Bank.
Therefore, Su Cheng planned to give the Huifeng Bank board of directors a heads-up in advance.
This time, he intended to acquire the Huifeng Bank shares from the Molie Foundation in a completely open and aboveboard manner.
Don't forget, Su Cheng also had another identity: a member of the Huifeng Bank board of directors. There was nothing wrong with him taking over the Huifeng Bank shares from the Molie Foundation.
Shen Bi, far away in his Huifeng Bank office, was surprised to see a call from Su Cheng.
Although both were big names in the Xiangjiang business world, their last meeting had actually been at the groundbreaking ceremony for the East District海底 Tunnel, quite some time ago.
Although Huifeng Bank frequently held board meetings, Su Cheng, due to his special privileges, didn't need to attend these frequent meetings.
"Mr. Shen Bi, you shouldn't have anything else going on right now, right?" Su Cheng asked directly over the phone.
"Mr. Su Cheng, I just returned to the office after a meeting. I don't have any particularly busy work at the moment. Is there anything you need?" Shen Bi asked curiously.
Since Su Cheng's rise, Shen Bi had often been the one to call Su Cheng. It was rare for Su Cheng to take the initiative to call Shen Bi.
Because of this, Shen Bi was quite surprised to receive Su Cheng's call.
"It's good that you don't have any important work. As a member of the Huifeng Bank board of directors, I haven't been to Huifeng Bank headquarters in a long time. I happen to have some business to take care of today, so I'll stop by and chat with you," Su Cheng said with a smile.
"Okay, Mr. Su Cheng, I'll wait for you in the office!" Shen Bi replied directly.
After hanging up the phone, Su Cheng got up and prepared to leave the Tianyuan Building.
It was already a little after four o'clock in the afternoon, approaching the evening rush hour.
Although it wasn't far from North Point to the Huifeng Bank headquarters in Central, traffic could be quite heavy during the evening rush hour.
So Su Cheng planned to go as soon as possible to avoid traffic jams.
The journey was smooth, and after a dozen minutes, Su Cheng's Rolls-Royce arrived at the underground parking lot of Huifeng Bank headquarters.
Walking into the lobby of Huifeng Bank, the staff members greeted Su Cheng one after another.
After all, everyone at Huifeng Bank now knew that Su Cheng had already become one of the owners of Huifeng Bank.
Looking at these mostly foreign-faced employees, Su Cheng responded with a smile to each of them.
Huifeng Bank was, after all, a British-funded enterprise, and it was not abnormal for the employees to be mainly British, so Su Cheng had no objections.
Like Hutchison Whampoa, it was previously a British-funded conglomerate. Although Su Cheng acquired it, it was impossible for all employees to be Chinese.
Nevertheless, Chinese employees now accounted for more than half of the Hutchison Whampoa Group.
This was unimaginable before Su Cheng acquired Hutchison Whampoa.
However, Su Cheng would continue to retain many foreign elites. He didn't interfere too much in the use of talent, leaving it entirely to Wei Li to handle.
And Wei Li was also very good at handling people, knowing that the current Hutchison Whampoa Group had become a Chinese-funded enterprise, so when recruiting new employees, he no longer only used foreigners as in the past. Chinese people with talent were given priority in recruitment.
In terms of talent, it would be difficult to develop if only Chinese people were used, and talents of other races were rejected.
The sea accepts all rivers, and tolerance is great.
As long as they are talented and recognize the corporate culture, they can all be used.
Familiar with the way, he went up to the fifth floor and arrived at Shen Bi's office. Shen Bi was reading a book, presumably waiting specifically for Su Cheng's arrival.
"Mr. Shen Bi, long time no see," Su Cheng greeted Shen Bi with a smile as he entered the door.
"Mr. Su Cheng, you've finally arrived. I've already made tea and waited for you," Shen Bi quickly put down the book in his hand, stood up, and walked quickly to Su Cheng, shaking hands with him.
As the chairman of the Huifeng Group, Shen Bi had a great deal of power in the Huifeng Group. He could be said to have the final say. Despite this, he still respected Su Cheng very much.
After all, Su Cheng's identity was not simple at all. To a certain extent, Su Cheng's status in the business world had already surpassed Shen Bi's.
Although he was the chairman of the Huifeng Group, he was ultimately just a professional manager.
Su Cheng was different. He was a well-known super-rich, and his net worth was not even lower than the entire market value of Huifeng Bank.

After the two sat down separately, Shen Bi personally poured tea for Su Cheng.
When acquiring the Hutchison Whampoa Group shares owned by Huifeng Bank, Su Cheng and Huifeng Bank signed an agreement at the time, which was that all financial transactions of the group in the next three years would have to go through Huifeng Bank.
Now, it had only been a little over a year since Su Cheng acquired Hutchison Whampoa.
Su Cheng couldn't stop this, after all, there was an agreement in place.
Because of this, Shen Bi, as the chairman of the Huifeng Bank board of directors, was very clear about the current strength of the Hutchison Whampoa Group.
He really watched Hutchison Whampoa Group develop rapidly step by step.
Before Su Cheng took over Hutchison Whampoa, although Hutchison Whampoa's strength was also okay, it had only just achieved the point of turning losses into profits.
Now, in just over a year, the asset size of the Hutchison Whampoa Group has at least tripled.
This is a four- or five-fold increase in scale, which would shock anyone.
In fact, this does not include the asset size of overseas Hutchison Whampoa Group; otherwise, this threefold increase could be doubled again.
Driven by the Oracle brand experience store and mobile phones, the current Hutchison Whampoa Group has already undergone earth-shattering changes.
This is still because Shen Bi doesn't know the situation of the Su's Group; otherwise, he would be even more shocked.
"It's just that I'm relatively lucky," Su Cheng said modestly.
After all, these were his private secrets, and Su Cheng didn't intend to talk too much about this topic.
"This is not an achievement that can be achieved with good luck. Mr. Su is too modest," Shen Bi said with emotion.
