"It's a pity that all four of my daughters are married. Otherwise, if you were my son-in-law, I would have no heirs." The chartering king said with emotion.

His youngest daughter is 28 years old this year and got married a few years ago.

"Mr. Bao's sons-in-law are said to be talented people, and now you also have a successor." Su Cheng laughed.

Marrying the daughter of a big boss? Although it looks very good, it is not suitable for Su Cheng. With his current achievements, there is no need to settle for nothing.

Besides, marrying the daughter of a big boss would impose too many restrictions. He didn't want to give up the entire forest for a tree.

The chat between the two continued until about nine o'clock in the evening.

"It's getting late. We had a great chat with Mr. Bao tonight. Why don't we disturb Mr. Bao's rest for now? Let's chat another day when we have time." Su Cheng looked at his watch, stood up, and said to Bao

Said the Ship King.

"Okay, Mr. Su, please pay attention to safety on the road. I, Bao, welcome you to come as a guest at any time!" The chartering king stood up, shook hands with Su Cheng and said.

"By the way, Mr. Bao, I hope you don't tell anyone about our conversation today, even to the people closest to you." Su Cheng reminded before leaving.

"Don't worry, Mr. Su. I've made it this far. I still understand these things. Besides, I'm afraid that you will tell my story. It's better for everyone to keep it secret." The chartering king said with a smile.

Before going out, the charter king specially took two bottles of Maotai from the wine cabinet and gave them to Su Cheng. Su Cheng was not polite about this. Although he didn't like drinking very much, it was good to keep them.

Regarding the fact that he already held more than 18% of Hutchison Whampoa's stock, Su Cheng did not tell the charter king because it was a trump card and could not be released easily.

Saying goodbye to the Charter King, before going home, Su Cheng sent Zhang Qizheng back to Tianyuan Building, where his car was.

Sitting in the back seat, Su Cheng thought about the content of tonight's conversation and was very satisfied with this meeting with the charter king.

Moreover, judging from the charter king's attitude towards him, the two can stand on a united front for the time being.

The next day, Su Cheng slept until noon, then slowly washed up and had lunch. As for breakfast, it had been skipped.

After that was done, Su Cheng asked the driver to take him to the Su Group headquarters.

The Su family villa is on Barker Road on the edge of Central, and the headquarters of Su Group is also in Central, so it is very convenient to get there.

The reason why Su Tianhe bought the villa on Barker Road was to make it easier to go to the company.

Arriving at the headquarters of the Su Group, along the way, every employee I met would respectfully call him "Director Su," and Su Cheng would nod in response one by one.

The company has gradually returned to normal since the meeting that day. Although the stock price fell sharply after the group announcement was released, this has nothing to do with the employees. After all, they do not hold shares in the Su Group.

When he arrived on the sixth floor and passed by Sister Zhang's office, Su Cheng knocked on the door.

"Please come in." A female voice came from the door.

Su Cheng opened the door and saw Sister Zhang writing something with her head down. It wasn't until Su Cheng called "Sister Zhang" that she quit working.

"Dr. Su, please sit down." Sister Zhang stood up quickly and got a cup of hot water for Su Cheng.

"I didn't disturb your work, did I?" Su Cheng took the water glass and asked with a smile.

"That's not true. It's just that when I first started taking up this position, my workload increased a lot, so I felt a little busy. I'll just wait for a while to get used to it." Sister Zhang replied.

"How is the privatization of the group going?" Su Cheng asked.

"I submitted the application to the Hong Kong Stock Exchange yesterday afternoon. They are currently going through the process. It is expected that the privatization will be officially completed next Monday. The delisting announcement has also been published in the "Hong Kong Securities News" this morning.

has been announced. During this period, our stocks will still trade normally until the delisting process is completed." Zhang Jiehui reported.

"Well, that's fine. Thank you for your hard work." Su Cheng said.

"These are what I should do."

There are only 0.6% of Su Group's shares left on the stock market. Su City also arranged for one person from the previous trading team to continue to acquire Su Group's shares until the delisting is completed.

This can be regarded as an explanation to the shareholders, although many shareholders who hold shares may lose their pants.

After all, when Su Tianhe was alive, the total market value of the Su Group once reached more than 400 million Hong Kong dollars. Today, it is only over 200 million Hong Kong dollars. If investors had invested in stocks at the peak, they would have lost nearly half of their money.

"By the way, Sister Zhang, haven't you encountered anything undecidable so far?" Su Cheng suddenly asked.

In the past few days, he has not been with the Su Group for a long time, and he does not know much about the various businesses of the group.

"Dr. Su, it really does exist. Our Su Group has a subsidiary company responsible for operating literary newspapers. I believe you, Dong Su, know that the current newspaper environment in Hong Kong is too intense. The most important thing for literary newspapers is to have good works, otherwise

There is no way to compete with other competitors.

And front-line writers will not contribute to our newspaper at all. Under such circumstances, our subsidiary is basically in a state of loss. In the past, because the losses were not much, the former Chairman Su did not ban it, but now in order to

To reduce the group's loss rate, I am considering whether to cancel the literary newspaper business, so this decision needs to be made by you, Director Su."

Sister Zhang took out a stack of information and handed it to Su Cheng while saying.

Su Cheng took the information in his hand and briefly looked at it.

This subsidiary of Su Group is called Chivalry Literature Media Co., Ltd. It mainly has two products, namely "Chivalry Literature Novel Newspaper" and "Chivalry Literature Monthly", a newspaper and a magazine.

"Chivalrous Literary Novel Newspaper" is a novel serial newspaper published every day. As for "Chivalrous Literature Monthly", as you can see from the name, it is a literary magazine that is published once a month.

At its peak, "Chivalry Literature Novel Journal" sold tens of thousands of copies per day, but now it has dropped to less than a thousand copies a day. As for "Chivalry Literature Monthly", it was temporarily suspended a few months ago.

This situation is not surprising. Fortunately, Chiayi Literature Media Co., Ltd. does not have many employees, and the company’s expenses are not very large, otherwise it would have been shut down by Su Tianhe long ago.

Su Cheng put down the information and thought for a while.

Literary magazines and newspapers will be sunset industries in the future. With the popularity of computers and mobile phones, their sales are declining.

However, in this era, computers are not yet popular, let alone mobile phones, so there is still a lot to do. This is why there are nearly 70 newspaper media in this small city at the same time. If you include magazines and the like

Yes, it will be doubled several times.

If the sales of a newspaper are very good, the advertising revenue will also be very considerable.

"No need to close it down, leave this matter to me. Give me a few days. By then I will not only bring Chivalrous Literature and Media Co., Ltd. back to life, but also make it famous in Hong Kong!" Su Cheng said with confidence.
Chapter completed!
