We're building a super chaebol in Hong Kong

However, Su Cheng did not show any intention of purchasing Scottie Fisher's shares.
Because he knew that revealing this ambition would inevitably cause some sensitive British financial groups to feel worried.
This was not what he wanted to see.
Although these 2.26% of the shares were not a small amount, it would be a case of gaining a little only to lose a lot if it caused the vigilance of certain financial groups.
Therefore, even though Scottie Fisher's eyes kept looking at Su Cheng, Su Cheng did not express anything. He even frowned as if he was thinking about something.
Seeing this, Scottie Fisher couldn't help but reveal a disappointed look.
He had specifically mentioned it at the meeting because he saw Su Cheng acquiring shares in the Morey Fund and thought that Su Cheng might be interested in his shares.
However, Su Cheng had no intention of acquiring the shares of these shareholders, at least not at the moment.
As for the shares of HSBC Bank, Su Cheng himself planned to acquire them slowly.
Although it was said that reaching 33.3% of the shares should be done as early as possible, there was a prerequisite, which was not to let those British financial groups know his ambition.
Otherwise, his next actions would definitely be very difficult, and he might even have to give up HSBC Group, this high-quality stock of the future.
The shares of Morey Fund were an accident, and currently, the shares of HSBC Group that he openly controlled were not that many, so he could openly disclose it.
But if he continued to increase his holdings openly, it would arouse people's vigilance.
"Mr. Slav, I wonder if your boss is interested in increasing his shareholding? I can sell it to your boss at a price lower than the market price. You can call and ask him," Scottie Fisher said to the man sitting to the left of Shen Bi.
Scottie Fisher could only disappointedly shift his gaze to other people.
"Mr. Scottie Fisher, I don't have any plans to increase my shareholding. I don't have much cash on hand."
"Mr. Scottie Fisher, like Mr. George, you also know that in addition to the shares of HSBC Group, I also have my own family business, and I simply can't come up with so much money to buy the shares in your hand."
"Mr. Scottie Fisher, I can help you ask the head of the Furski family, but I don't think there is much hope."
One by one, they all stated very simply that they or the financial groups behind them were not very interested in increasing their shareholdings.
At this time, Scottie Fisher's resignation was no longer the focus of discussion at the meeting.
Seeing that all the British and American financial groups were not interested in taking over, Scottie Fisher looked at Su Cheng again.
Because
"Mr. Su, are you interested in buying my shares?" Scottie Fisher asked.
"Although I have enough funds to buy Mr. Scottie's shares, I think that the 4.58% shares I currently own are already enough. I have no interest in the management rights of HSBC Bank at all, and the market situation is not good now. I think it is better for me to diversify my investments. Mr. Scottie should find other shareholders to take over," Su Cheng shook his head directly and refused Scottie Fisher.
He had to refuse, because in this way, others would believe that Su Cheng did not have too many ideas about HSBC Bank.
Once he readily indicated that he could buy it, these British financial groups might think that Su Cheng had ideas about the control of HSBC Bank.
After all, Su Cheng had previously acquired Hutchison Whampoa Group and Hong Kong Electric Group, two British companies, in Hong Kong.
For the sake of these 2.26% shares, revealing his ambition for HSBC Bank would definitely make it infinitely more difficult for Tianyuan Investment Company to continue secretly acquiring HSBC Bank's shares. After all, even if many British financial groups were no longer optimistic about the future of Hong Kong, they would not want HSBC Bank, the pride of the British financial group, to fall into the hands of the Chinese.
Su Cheng's words did indeed relieve some people present. They were really afraid that Su Cheng was really interested in these shares, and then they would have to be vigilant.
Even Shen Bi breathed a sigh of relief.
Although he hoped that Su Cheng's relationship with HSBC Group would be closer, he was also unwilling for HSBC Bank to be controlled by Su Cheng.
After all, Shen Bi was a British national.
However, when Scottie Fisher heard Su Cheng say that he had enough funds to buy these shares, an excited expression appeared on his face.
In fact, Scottie Fisher had long wanted to completely withdraw from HSBC Bank, but he had not been able to find a good opportunity.
The 2.26% shares in his hand were worth 1.5 billion Hong Kong dollars at market price.

If he could cash out this money, then he could return to his old home in Scotland and live a carefree life.
Scottie Fisher did not dare to gamble on the future of Hong Kong. He was already 65 years old. If there were no accidents at this age, his days would be numbered, so he also had to consider his descendants.
If he continued to be tied to the ship of HSBC Bank, and if the ship of HSBC Bank sank to the bottom later, then his family descendants would really decline.
Because of this, after thinking about it, Scottie Fisher decided to sell these shares.
It was not that he could not sell through the market, but the amount Scottie Fisher had in his hand was really too much. How many years and months would it take to clear it through the market?
After all, HSBC Bank was not an ordinary listed company. Just his 2.26% shares were worth 1.5 billion Hong Kong dollars, and was it so easy to sell 1.5 billion Hong Kong dollars worth of stocks? If people found out that he was selling a large amount, it would only cause the stock price to continue to fall, which was not what he wanted to see.
Therefore, being able to sell it all at once was the best, which was both convenient and not so tiring.
If he really couldn't find a suitable buyer, Scottie Fisher would consider selling it slowly through the market.
"Mr. Su, since you are very optimistic about the future of HSBC Group, then I think this is a very good opportunity. You are different from me. I am selling my shares in HSBC Group because I am going back to my old home in England to retire.
Moreover, Mr. Su, you are a native of Hong Kong. HSBC Group is the leader in Hong Kong's financial industry. Mr. Su's increase in the shares of HSBC Group can also give greater confidence to Hong Kong's financial industry. This is also a good thing for Hong Kong, and at the same time, it can also take Mr. Su's financial position in Hong Kong to a higher level. This is a win-win situation," Scottie Fisher continued to persuade.
As a British national, Scottie Fisher certainly hoped that a British financial group would acquire the shares in his hand.
However, none of the people from the British financial groups wanted to acquire them.
Since they were unrighteous, Scottie Fisher did not need to maintain any sentimentality. Taking care of his own interests was the real thing. (End of this chapter)
