#903 - Turn hostility into friendship
Just as Shen Bi said, they are merely professional managers of the company. Their power is significant, but it's because of their outstanding performance that they have gained the approval of the bosses.
But now, because of a small matter, they have incurred a great feud with Su Cheng, this business giant, which is indeed not worth it.
If this matter reaches the Keswick family and other actual controlling shareholders behind Jardine Matheson, then his position as the taipan of Jardine Matheson might really come to an end.
Furthermore, threatening villagers to achieve one's goals, although already a tacit practice in the upper class, will be a different matter once reported by the media.
In the past, those major media outlets would give them face and not report these things.
But Su Cheng has several major media companies and the television station with the highest ratings under his command. If these media or television stations report the Da Sha Ling Village incident, Niu Bi Jian can imagine the consequences.
The most likely outcome is that Niu Bi Jian will be pushed out by the bosses behind him to take responsibility for these matters.
"Mr. Shen Bi, how can I ease relations with Su Cheng now?" Niu Bi Jian's voice became much softer.
Compared to face, Niu Bi Jian ultimately chose his current wealth and status.
Seeing that Niu Bi Jian was beginning to yield, Shen Bi finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Although he and Niu Bi Jian are both bigwigs in the Hong Kong business community, Shen Bi is very clear in his heart that there is actually a gap between him and Su Cheng, because he and Niu Bi Jian are both merely managers of their respective British-owned companies and are not the real bosses at all.
And Su Cheng is the boss of several large groups, and almost all of them are 100% controlled. In addition to Hutchison Whampoa, Sus' Group, and Tianwen Petroleum Company, which are wholly owned, Hong Kong Electric Holdings and China Motor Bus Company also have more than 50% of the shares, and Wharf Holdings also has nearly 30% of the shares. And that's just in Hong Kong.
What can they, these professional managers, compare with such a super-rich man?
Niu Bi Jian nodded, which was considered a default to Shen Bi's idea.
When Su Cheng was furious, Niu Bi Jian had already regretted it.
But at that time, he was in a state of being unable to back down.
Now, after calming down, he can no longer care so much.
"Then, Mr. Niu Bi Jian, please go downstairs to avoid him for a while. I'll ask Mr. Su Cheng to come over and chat." Now that he had persuaded Niu Bi Jian, Shen Bi naturally continued to try to persuade Su Cheng.
Without saying a word, Niu Bi Jian left the office directly.
After Niu Bi Jian left the office, the secretary from the adjacent office also came in.
"Mary, where is Mr. Su Cheng?"
"He went to the departments to inspect. He should be in the wealth management and personal banking department now," Secretary Mary immediately replied.
Shen Bi nodded, picked up the phone directly, and called the department president of the wealth management and personal banking department, asking him to help call Su Cheng to the office.
Ten minutes later, Su Cheng arrived late and appeared in Shen Bi's office.
"Mr. Shen Bi, have you finished talking?" Su Cheng sat directly on the sofa and asked with a smile.
"Mr. Su Cheng, I have already talked with Mr. Niu Bi Jian. Everyone is a high-level figure in the Hong Kong business community. We see each other often, so there is no need to make the relationship too rigid. He also realizes his mistake and wants to ease the relationship with Mr. Su. I wonder what Mr. Su thinks?" Shen Bi didn't beat around the bush and went straight to the point.
"Mr. Shen Bi, I didn't intend to, but you also know the situation just now. You were there. It was Mr. Niu Bi Jian who was sarcastic first. Although I am easy to talk to, it doesn't mean I have no temper. Kindness is not a reason to be bullied!" Su Cheng's attitude was tough.
"Then, Mr. Su, what conditions do you need to agree to ease the relationship with Mr. Niu Bi Jian? Everyone is a businessman, and interests come first. There are no eternal enemies, so Mr. Su doesn't need to be too angry. It is our pursuit to live in harmony and make a fortune together!" Shen Bi continued to persuade.
"I won't mention any conditions. As long as Mr. Niu Bi Jian apologizes to me in person, I will no longer pursue this matter. Otherwise, although Jardine Matheson is very powerful, I, Su Cheng, am really not afraid!" A hint of fierceness appeared in Su Cheng's eyes.
Of course, if Niu Bi Jian hadn't said those words, Su Cheng hadn't originally planned to fight against him.
After all, he will continue his secret acquisition of Hongkong Land, and Niu Bi Jian, as the taipan, will continue to implement the plan to support the shares of Jardine Matheson and Hongkong Land with the bosses behind him, so that he can eventually successfully control Jardine Matheson indirectly through Hongkong Land!
And if Niu Bi Jian is kicked out now, it will inevitably affect the development trend of Jardine Matheson and Hongkong Land.
Therefore, if it is not a last resort, he is also considering turning hostility into friendship.
Hearing that Su Cheng's condition was so simple, merely an apology in person, Shen Bi finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"Mr. Su, this matter is simple. I will call Mr. Niu Bi Jian over immediately and let him apologize to you in person." Shen Bi originally thought that Su Cheng would take the opportunity to make some excessive demands, but he didn't expect that he only wanted an apology in person.
"What I hope to see is a sincere apology, not one set on the surface and another set behind the back. I, Su Cheng, have always hated this kind of person the most!" Seeing Shen Bi get up to call someone, Su Cheng said casually.
"Mr. Su, please rest assured, Mr. Niu Bi Jian has realized his mistake. You wait in the office first, and I will call Mr. Niu Bi Jian over now," Shen Bi said to Su Cheng as he walked out.
Niu Bi Jian had already gone downstairs, so Shen Bi would certainly not go downstairs to find him in person, but merely said a few words to the secretary in the next office, asking her to go downstairs to find Niu Bi Jian.
Then, Shen Bi continued to return to the sofa and sat opposite Su Cheng.
