We're building a super chaebol in Hong Kong

Not long after returning to the Su family villa from the Sheung Wan training base, Su Cheng received the information sent by Brother Wu.

There was a lot of information, enough to print out more than a dozen A4 sheets.

He wasn't in a hurry to read it, but instead had a good dinner at home with Cherie Chung, Gillian, Connie and others.

Today he had been running around to several places, first to Tseung Kwan O, then taking the subway to Shek Kip Mei, and then taking a car to Government House. After that, he went from Government House to Hutchison House in Kowloon Tong. After inspecting that, he ran to the Tianhe bodyguard training base in Sheung Wan.

It could be said that Su Cheng had hardly rested the entire day. Even though his body was considered to be in good condition compared to his peers, he was still a little tired.

After dinner, he watched television with Cherie Chung on the third floor for half an hour.

Afterwards, he ran to Gillian's room on the second floor, and called Connie over as well, asking them to massage and beat his back.

Lying on the spacious Simmons mattress, Su Cheng comfortably enjoyed the massage from Gillian and Connie, who had undergone professional training. The feeling of comfort was simply heavenly.

In the end, Su Cheng even fell asleep directly on the bed.

He had woken up early in the morning, and he hadn't had time to take a nap during the day. He had just finished eating, so he was naturally prone to drowsiness, and with such a comfortable massage, falling asleep was indeed normal.

Gillian and Connie saw that their young master had fallen asleep, and they didn't continue to disturb him. They exchanged a glance, and both of them left the room, gently closing the door.

When Su Cheng woke up, it was already ten o'clock in the evening.

He had slept from eight o'clock to ten o'clock in the evening, not a lot of time, only two hours, but Su Cheng felt much more refreshed.

Perhaps it was due to the professional massage, Su Cheng felt that the fatigue of the entire day had disappeared without a trace at that moment, and he was now full of energy again.

Getting out of bed, he went up to the third floor and found that Cherie Chung had already gone to sleep at some point.

Pregnant women need to sleep early, and sufficient sleep is beneficial to the health of the fetus.

Su Cheng didn't disturb Cherie Chung. After washing his face in the bathroom outside, he tiptoed into the small study.

He had just woken up from a nap, so even though it was already ten o'clock in the evening, he certainly wouldn't be sleepy for a while. So he simply decided to take a look at the Land Securities Group information that Brother Wu had sent him in the evening.

Adjusting the angle of the recliner, Su Cheng picked up the information, comfortably lay down, and then began to read.

As a real estate company in Hong Kong with a long history, Land Securities Group is definitely a dominant enterprise in the Hong Kong real estate industry of this era.

Founded in 1889, Land Securities Group has gone through 90 years of history. In another ten years, it will be a proper century-old enterprise.

Relying on the advantage of its long history, it owns a large amount of land and property in various districts of Hong Kong, especially in the Central financial and commercial district, where it owns a large number of valuable commercial buildings.

As the parent company of Land Securities Group, Jardine Matheson was established even earlier. It was established in Yangcheng in 1832, which means that it has a history of more than 147 years.

After the establishment of Land Securities Group, Jardine has always been associated with Land Securities. Moreover, Land Securities has an unwritten rule, which is that each Taipan of Jardine also concurrently serves as the Taipan of Land Securities.

That is to say, the current Taipan of Jardine Matheson, Newbigging, also concurrently holds the position of Taipan of Land Securities Group. Of course, the management of Land Securities is still the responsibility of the Land Securities Board of Directors, and the overall situation is managed by General Manager Bow Fuller. Newbigging is more in charge of the overall situation of Jardine, but in many cases, the positions of the two companies are the same.

As a Jardine Matheson enterprise, the core business of Land Securities Group is almost entirely in Hong Kong, and it does not have much foreign investment.

Unlike Jardine, although its core business is in Hong Kong, it has always actively sought foreign investment, and has a lot of property in Singapore, the United Kingdom, and other places.

Su Cheng slowly read through the dozen or so pages of content, and two hours had already passed.

At this time, it was already twelve o'clock in the middle of the night, but Su Cheng didn't feel sleepy at all, but instead felt a little invigorated.

Because he had discovered a very interesting piece of information, and if this information was used well, it might have unexpected benefits for him.

When Bao Zhaolong, the "Ship King", acquired Wharf under the Jardine Group, the Jardine executives were already wary of Chinese capital's coveting.

To this end, Jardine specially created a "chain ship structure" plan. The core of the plan was mutual control between Jardine and Land Securities, that is, Jardine Matheson controlling 40% of Land Securities' shares, and Land Securities in turn controlling 40% of Jardine Matheson's shares, in order to strengthen the ability to resist foreign enemies.

This is very confidential information and cannot be made public at all.

As for Land Securities Group, because they are currently vigorously developing the Central financial district plan, they don't have much spare money to buy shares in Jardine Matheson. To this day, Land Securities controls very few shares in Jardine Matheson.

This is interesting.

To be honest, their plan is really a very bold plan.

At the same time, Su Cheng was also quite impressed with their plan. If it succeeds, it will indeed be almost impossible for Chinese capital enterprises to covet Jardine and Land Securities.

However, the chain ship structure also has considerable flaws. If an enemy controls one ship, they can engage in close combat with the other linked ship. If one is damaged, all are damaged, and the consequences are even more terrible.

Of course, at present, the plans of both companies are still on paper, and because such a plan involves too much, it is equivalent to a long-term plan. Given the current situation of Jardine and Land Securities, it will not be possible to achieve such mutual control for ten or eight years, or even longer.

And doesn't this also give Su Cheng a very good opportunity?

Before they have the strength to mutually control each other, if he secretly continues to purchase shares in one of them, when he owns a certain proportion, as their mutual control plan continues to advance, in the future, Su Cheng can silently control these two Hong Kong hegemonic enterprises.

Jardine, Land Securities, and Wharf and Hutchison Whampoa are different. Although Su Cheng has a lot of cash flow, he also knows that if he forcibly acquires one of these two companies, it will definitely be difficult and will be jointly resisted by British capital consortia.

Moreover, Jardine is currently very stable in the hands of British capital consortia. It is impossible for Su Cheng to acquire Jardine, at least not now.
