We're building a super chaebol in Hong Kong

Seeing Mr. Collis Mitrovic remain silent for a long time, Su Cheng stood up and said, "Mr. Collis Mitrovic, I'll give you time to consider. I should be in England for a few more days. If Mr. Collis Mitrovic agrees to this price, I can make a deal with you at any time."

Su Cheng's meaning was very clear: I'm only offering 700 million Hong Kong dollars. If you're willing to sell, this deal can be done at any time. If you're not willing to sell, then let's pretend nothing happened today.

"Okay, Mr. Su, allow me to consider it in the room. I'll give you an answer in half an hour at most," Mr. Collis Mitrovic said after thinking for a moment.

Originally, he didn't have much confidence in whether Su Cheng had the idea of buying Jardine Matheson Group's shares this time. He was just trying his luck.

Now, Su Cheng is willing to buy, but he is not very satisfied with the price offered, which makes him not know what to do.

In fact, Jardine Matheson Group's stock has not been very stable this year. Calculated based on his 3.89% of the shares, his stock market value has been fluctuating between 750 million and 800 million Hong Kong dollars this year.

He also knew that it was not very realistic to sell according to the stock market price, unless someone was currently eyeing Jardine Matheson Group and a battle for control was underway.

However, it is obvious that this kind of thing has not happened in Jardine Matheson Group at present.

Moreover, with Jardine Matheson Group's British consortium controlling nearly 40% of the shares, Mr. Collis Mitrovic felt that it was impossible for Chinese consortia to compete for the control of Jardine Matheson.

Now, he can only consider whether to sell at the price of 700 million Hong Kong dollars.

In the Mitrovic family, he still has the final say. The main affairs of the family have always been decided by him, after all, this foundation was built by him.

Therefore, Collis Mitrovic doesn't need to discuss with the people in the family at all.

As long as he wants to sell, then he can decide by himself, without looking at other people's opinions.

When encountering this kind of thing, Collis Mitrovic felt that he couldn't even lose his temper.

After all, this time it was he who came to ask Su Cheng to buy, not what others needed.

It is normal for others to have their own price bottom line.

"Click."

The sound of the door lock echoed, and Su Cheng also left the room.

Leaving Collis Mitrovic to slowly consider clearly in the room.

Su Cheng had previously contacted many people who were not optimistic about the future of Hong Kong, and had a certain understanding of their thoughts, so he believed that the probability of Mr. Collis Mitrovic agreeing in the end was very high.

For him, at most the deal would not be reached, and this matter would not have happened from beginning to end.

But if Collis Mitrovic agreed, then there would be too many benefits.

First of all, it would weaken the British consortium's shares in Jardine Matheson Group.

Secondly, it would increase his ownership of Jardine Matheson's shares, providing no small help for him to secretly control Jardine Matheson Group later.

In addition, he could save 100 million Hong Kong dollars for this.

With so many benefits, if the deal is finally reached, then his trip to England will not be in vain.

"Nephew Su Cheng, have you finished chatting?" Seeing Su Cheng come out, Chu Xuanyu, who was drinking tea alone, asked with a smile.

"Uncle Chu, Mr. Collis Mitrovic wants to cooperate with me on some business, but we haven't agreed on the price yet. He needs to consider it, so I left him alone to consider," Su Cheng replied.

He naturally wouldn't say what kind of cooperation it was. These were secrets, and even if Uncle Chu was his elder, he didn't intend to reveal them.

Moreover, if Mr. Collis Mitrovic finally agreed to the deal, then he, Su Cheng, would also ask Mr. Collis Mitrovic to agree to a condition.

That is, Mr. Collis Mitrovic must not actively reveal this matter to other people in Jardine Matheson Group's British consortium, so as not to alert the enemy.

In other words, it must be a secret transaction.

Su Cheng believed that this little thing would not cause any loss to Collis Mitrovic, and he would definitely agree in the end.

As for when it can be announced, it will naturally be when Su Cheng announces it himself.

If he can take down these 3.89% of Jardine Matheson Group's shares, then he will have more confidence in controlling Jardine Matheson Group and Hongkong Land in the future.

"Since that's the case, then let's continue drinking tea," Chu Xuanyu beckoned Su Cheng to the tea table.

Next to this tea table, there is also a cabinet for storing tea leaves, which is marked with various well-known teas, such as Biluochun, Xinyang Maojian, West Lake Longjing, Junshan Yinzhen, Huangshan Maofeng, Wuyi Rock Tea, Qimen Black Tea, Duyun Maojian, Lu'an Melon Slices, Anxi Tieguanyin and other famous Chinese teas, as well as Darjeeling Black Tea, Ceylon Black Tea, Qimen Left Tea, Assam Black Tea and other teas loved by the British.

From these teas, it can be seen that Chu Xuanyu is a tea lover.

The tea art girl sitting in the main seat making tea is now brewing Biluochun.

"Mr. Su, please have some tea," the little girl's voice was sweet and not timid at all, probably a junior of Chu Xuanyu's.

In an instant, various sensations such as rich floral fragrance, mellow taste, and long-lasting aftertaste were changing in Su Cheng's mouth.

Its fresh and rich taste will make people feel refreshed, and the strong taste seems to fill the whole body.

"Good tea," Su Cheng praised with a smile.

"It seems that you are also a tea lover, nephew," Chu Xuanyu said with a slight smile.

"Isn't it normal for Chinese people to love tea!" Su Cheng put down his teacup and replied.

"That's right, eight out of ten Chinese businessmen in our Hong Kong Federation of Trade Unions love to drink tea," Chu Xuanyu agreed with this sentence very much.

"By the way, Uncle Chu, do you plan to return to Hong Kong to develop?" Su Cheng asked.

If Chu Xuanyu wants to return to Hong Kong to develop, then he can take better care of Chu Xuanyu.

Many businesses cannot be monopolized by themselves, and some must be distributed, which is a matter of etiquette.

Rather than giving it to others to make money, it is better to give it to people close to you to earn.

However, Chu Xuanyu replied: "No, I stayed in England to develop after graduating from university, and then my whole family moved here. I don't have any relatives in Hong Kong anymore. I have lived here longer than I have lived in Hong Kong, and I am already used to the life here. If I go back, I may not be able to adapt."

Chu Xuanyu actually knows that if he returns to Hong Kong to develop, he will develop better.

But as Su Cheng's elder, he is actually unwilling to bring too much trouble to Su Cheng in his heart.

Moreover, his contacts are almost all here, and even in the political world, there are many of his contacts.

Once he goes back, everything will have to start all over again, so he naturally has no plans to go back.

"That's a pity," Su Cheng said regretfully.

If Chu Xuanyu really wants to go back, Su Cheng doesn't mind helping him gain greater benefits in Hong Kong.
