Hutchison Group Headquarters:

"It's actually a Chinese, what do you think about this?." In Chairman Hutchison's office, Qi Dezun's face was blood-red and his eyes were wide with anger, while a group of people and assistants around him sat around the conference table.

"I have investigated the situation of this galaxy, established in 1973, the main business is to acquire industrial land or property in Kowloon, Hung Hom and Yuen Long in Hong Kong, and is also acquiring an official authorization certificate called a type B official letter for land certificate, similar to real estate securities, and a trading company and securities company, the trading company is mainly for overseas exports, and the securities company has not made any moves." After reading the newspaper in the morning, Richard immediately arranged for someone to investigate the information about the galaxy, although it was not complete, but it was some.

"I haven't moved, I guess I've been buying Hutchison's shares, right?" Qi Dezun snorted coldly and said: "With so much capital flow, it hasn't attracted anyone's attention? ”

"I speculate that Galaxy Securities' funds are all from overseas, so it hasn't attracted much attention." Richard said, in fact, under normal circumstances, who would suspect a small securities company? Without enough foundation, who can plan to acquire Hutchison? Even Hutchison, which is at a low point, does not have enough strength in Hong Kong, so he doesn't want to get involved at all.

"Overseas?" Qi Dezun frowned and asked, "He still has overseas capital support behind him?" ”

"It's possible, but it's not necessarily, this Galaxy company is actually nothing, his boss Chen Zhiwen has a Red Bull beverage company, which sells very well in North America." Richard said.

"Red Bull? I've heard of it, it's the same family, huh? Qi Dezun nodded and said.

Richard continued: "Chairman, now it has been determined that the acquirer is Chinese-funded, and it is not one of those well-known Chinese-funded companies, although this Chen Zhiwen has been a very good business star in recent years, but his team is unlikely to be able to take over the Hutchison Group, even if he acquires all the shares of Hutchison, it is impossible to manage it personally." ”

"You mean he's going to keep us in charge?" Qi Dezun thought for a while and said: "That's fine, he can be a major shareholder with peace of mind, and we will continue to do our thing." ”

"I don't think it's possible." Another director, Bruce, said: "If Chen Zhiwen is willing to be a major shareholder who doesn't care about anything, then there is no need to buy the shares to 40%, and the current risk of Hutchison is also known to everyone, since it has spent such a big price and continues to buy at a high price after the acquisition is discovered, it must be a plan." ”

"Of course I know that he has some plans, a normal person, especially such a successful young man, who doesn't want to hold power, but whether it can be another matter, hundreds of companies under Hutchison, more than 20 listed companies, involving up to 100 kinds of business, even the management of Jardine Matheson wants to take over Hutchison's business is not so easy, let alone him." Richard retorted.

"Maybe it won't be now, but maybe it won't be in the future." Another said.

Another person said: "I'll talk about it later, as long as we are united, how can he, a person who only knows how to buy property and other appreciation, manage and remember such a large company?" ”

"Well, there's no use arguing about that." Qi Dezun raised his hand to signal everyone to be quiet, and said: "What Richard said makes sense, we will be fine in a short time, according to Chen Zhiwen's request, he will come to Hutchison in three days, and then we will make a grand layout, be polite, and prepare a luxury office for him in the direction of the sea, so that he can be a major shareholder." ”

"Then do you want to make an appointment to meet him in advance, communicate first, it will always be more convenient." Richard said.

"No, now I'm begging to see him, but I'm falling behind, and every step in the future will be restricted, it's better to wait, what if a young man in his twenties becomes a major shareholder?" Qi Dezun said confidently.

Seeing Qi Dezun so proud, Richard didn't say anything anymore, he had been with this boss for nearly ten years, and he already knew what personality he had, when Hutchison was at its peak, he didn't even pay attention to the governor of Hong Kong and HSBC Taipan, and now if it weren't for Hutchison because he had too much trouble, I'm afraid he would be even more proud.

After the Hutchison board of directors was over, Richard returned to his office, looking at the information he had checked under his staff, when suddenly, the phone rang.

"Hey, hello." Richard picked up the phone and said.

"Mr. Richard, this is Galaxy Holding Group, my name is Li Haonan." The phone on the other side said in a deep voice.

"You're good." Richard was taken aback, and after a moment of silence, he said.

"There are some things that we may not be convenient to say on the phone, I have opened a private room at the Peninsula Coffee Shop on the sixth floor of the Hilton Hotel, I wonder if Mr. Richard can come over with a face?" Li Haonan said.

"Okay, I'll see you in an hour." Richard hesitated for a moment, but still agreed, what's the matter, he is also his future boss, and he still has to go and see it after making an appointment.

An hour later, Peninsula Coffee at the Hilton.

Li Haonan and Chen Zhiwen have been waiting here, since the Hilton Hotel was renovated, the privacy of meeting people here has increased a lot, after Richard arrived, Li Haonan stood up and introduced: "Mr. Richard, I am Li Haonan, the personnel manager of Galaxy Group, and this is Mr. Chen Zhiwen, the chairman of Galaxy Group. ”

"Hello Li Sheng, Chen Sheng, hello." Richard was surprised to hear Chen Zhiwen's name, and he didn't expect to meet this person who acquired Hutchison here.

"Hello, Mr. Richard, please be seated." Chen Zhiwen also waved his hand.

After several people sat down, Chen Zhiwen said, "Mr. Richard, what do you think of the current Hutchison?" ”

"What is Chen Sheng talking about?" This is a sensitive topic, and Richard had to be very cautious.

"Business problems, Hutchison's debt is too big now, how can we solve this problem?" Chen Zhiwen said.

It's not about personnel problems, Richard breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and said: "Hutchison's current problem, the debt is too heavy, resulting in many projects without funds to restart, and stopping in place will only consume funds in vain, but there is no way, if you can get an additional amount of funds to start some profitable projects, then you can drive part of the company's business to operate normally, so that at least temporarily you can deal with the debt problem."

But if we want to solve it in the long term, we either need to inject a lot of money, or the real estate market and the stock market recover, we can sell some land or shares to get funds. ”

"That's true, but it's useless, everyone knows that money can solve problems, what if you don't have money?" Chen Zhiwen said with a smile, it is not a problem if the money is in place.

"Then you can only sell part of the business and property to raise funds." Richard said.

"What do you think are the businesses and properties that need to be kept?" Chen Zhiwen asked.

Richard paused and said, "If I were to do it, I would keep the port business, real estate business, securities business, trading business, manufacturing business, retail business, automobile trade business, and the rest will be determined according to the situation." ”

"Then I don't know if Mr. Richard, is he willing to become the new senior class of the Hutchison Group?" Chen Zhiwen said suddenly.
