People in Hong Kong create super chaebols

As soon as the head of the Highways Department finished speaking, the big guys at the scene began to discuss the matter.

"On behalf of Huifeng Bank, I can invest HK$500 million!"

"On behalf of Swire & Company, I can invest HK$400 million!"

"On behalf of Jardine Matheson, I can invest HK$500 million!"

"On behalf of Wheelock & Company, I can invest HK$300 million!"

……

Rather than saying it was a discussion, it was better to say that everyone started to make offers.

Even the chartering king directly quoted an investment of HK$200 million in the name of the Hung Hom Cross Harbor Tunnel Company!

Su Cheng was a little shocked. Haven't these British-funded consortiums all encountered financial difficulties recently? How come everyone can easily take out hundreds of millions?

What Su Cheng didn't know was that no matter how difficult it was, they would still find a way to come up with a sum of money when a project that was sure to make a profit came along.

When they made their quotations, staff in the conference room recorded the funds they quoted one by one.

Finally, everyone in the entire conference room, except Su Cheng, stated their ideal amount of investment capital.

"Your Excellency, Sir Su Cheng, how many shares do you want to invest?" After everyone had finished bidding, the head of the Highways Department looked at Su Cheng.

In the officialdom, those officials who have a title still like to call each other by their title.

The twelve people present all have titles.

Sioux City also has the KBE knighthood awarded by the Queen.

After hearing the words of the head of the Highways Department, everyone looked at Su Cheng, curious about how much money he could offer.

Everyone present knows that Su Cheng is definitely the person with the most money present, and the funds they can spend are not comparable to them. However, when they encounter interests, they will definitely fight for themselves and cannot give them to others. other people.

"Mr. Director, and senior businessmen, if possible, I can be a sole proprietor, but judging from the situation just now, it is impossible, so I don't care, let's see what everyone decides!" Su Cheng laughed said.

Su Cheng's meaning is very simple, even if he is allowed to invest 100%.

In fact, his inner thought is naturally that the more these people invest, the better.

Although the profit from the Eastern Harbor Crossing is long-term, he doesn't like it. Even if he has money now, he doesn't want to invest too much in it.

He would only invest 100% of the shares when no one wanted to invest.

After all, the Eastern Harbor Crossing was crucial to his later layout and related to the future development plans of Tseung Kwan O, Clear Water Bay and other places.

Therefore, no matter what, the Eastern Harbor Crossing must be built, and the sooner it is built, the better!

Now, since the project has been approved and these big guys are so keen to invest in this project, he is naturally happy to see this status quo.

"This is not easy to handle. Except for Mr. Su, who has no clear intention to invest in capital, the total capital that other people here want to invest in has reached 38 billion Hong Kong dollars. The estimated funds for our project do not require much How about this? Everyone shares equally, and everyone contributes the same amount of money. As for the matter of leading the company, our Highways Department can be responsible for it, and the investors can supervise it. I wonder what you think?" Highways Department The chief came up with a compromise.

When he called everyone over, the head of the Highways Department did not expect that these big guys from the Xiangjiang business community would be so enthusiastic about this project.

If the government's finances hadn't been tight recently, he would have wanted to give advice to the Governor's Office, hoping that the government would also provide some funds for investment.

Everyone is so enthusiastic about this investment, and it certainly cannot meet everyone's needs. Therefore, the method of the head of the Highways Department is the only good method. "I have no objection!" Su Cheng said directly this time.

The others, after hesitating for a moment, agreed.

Because there is no other way, other people will have objections to whoever gets more equity, so it is better for everyone to share it fairly and equitably.

Of course, everyone knows that even if this project makes more money and is divided among so many shareholders, the money distributed in the future will not be as much as imagined.

However, in their opinion, they had to get involved in a project that was a sure profit without loss.

"Since everyone has no objections, it's settled. Everyone, please wait a moment. I'll ask someone to draft the contract and have everyone sign it. We'll get it done in one go today, so that we don't need to run around later. Yes, as for the funds, we give everyone a week to prepare. We hope that everyone can raise the funds by then, so that our project can start as soon as possible!" The head of the Highways Department stood up and said to everyone.

Everyone present nodded.

The total investment of HK$15 billion was shared among the 12 representatives present, and each company only prepared HK$1.25 million in funds.

It may be difficult for everyone to raise more than one billion Hong Kong dollars at once, but it is not difficult for everyone to raise more than 100 million Hong Kong dollars. Many people can even mobilize enough funds at any time.

Therefore, the government has given everyone one week to prepare, which is more than enough.

While waiting, everyone started chatting again.

Usually, it is rare for so many big guys to gather together.

Moreover, in the eyes of these people, the people present were all on the same level as themselves, and they did not feel like bullying the others. Everyone was talking on an equal footing, and the atmosphere was very harmonious.

Su Cheng also chatted with the charter king in Xiangjiang dialect.

Of course, since both of them are shareholders of Wharf, their conversations basically focused on matters related to the Wharf Group.

Over at Harbor City, the project is progressing smoothly. With the ship chartering king as the supervisor, it is expected that the entire Harbor City will be completed by the end of this year.

Based on the business situation at the Ocean Terminal, the charter king is full of confidence in the future of Harbor City.

In his view, Harbor City is a golden chicken that can always lay golden eggs.

In the future, Wharf's income will definitely surpass that of Global Shipping Group.

It is precisely because of this that the charter king currently focuses most of his energy on the Wharf Group.

As for the Global Shipping Group, it is directly managed by his sons-in-law, and he will only make decisions when there are major issues.

Ten minutes later, the head of the Highways Department came back with a stack of contracts and personally gave one to everyone.

Su Cheng took a quick look at this contract and found that there was nothing wrong with it.

After all, the contract was issued by the government, so they wouldn't dare to trick so many big bosses just for one project.

This contract contains investment funds, equity and other information, and is made in thirteen copies. In addition to the twelve shareholders, the Highways Department must also hold one copy.

After all, although the Highways Department has no investment, they have the right to manage the roads, and they are responsible for this project.

There was no problem with the contract, so Su Cheng signed his name without hesitation. (End of chapter)
