Chapter 231： Hutchison question

Bao Zixuan has been staying in Xiangjiang recently, on the one hand to take good care of his mother, on the other hand to manage the company. During the period of absence, a lot of things happened in the company, mainly because there were some contradictions between the management personnel sent by Hutchison Whampoa Company and Heiyun.

Originally, this matter was nothing, but now it has affected the normal operation of the company. This is something that Bao Zixuan can't tolerate. If he doesn't kill the British spirit, he still doesn't know who has the final say in the enterprise.

This is not the most important thing, Wei Li actually dares to follow the yin and the yin. Bao Zixuan's established strategy was to invest in the mainland, but Wei ideally believed that he was British and did not follow Bao Zixuan's request. This is a great opportunity for development, and it is really intolerable to not take the boss's words to heart because of political influence.

When he came to Hutchison Whampoa, Bao Zixuan didn't notify anyone. Wei Li was a little surprised to see the boss coming, but he reacted quickly and said to Bao Zixuan, "Why didn't Bao Sheng return to Xiangjiang, why didn't you notify me; we should be prepared."

Bao Zixuan: "Not long after I came back, how is the company's business recently!"

Wylie: "Since we got on the line with Heiyun, the company's business has been very good. Our supermarkets and wharfs are doing well."

Bao Zixuan: "That's good, but the Methodist class. Investing in the mainland is my strategy. Why Hutchison Whampoa didn't take action? Can you explain it to me!"

Wei Li didn't expect the boss to ask this, he thought it was because he had a conflict with the people who came over from Heiyun, and the people who sued Bao Zixuan came to support him! But not investing in the mainland is a strategy set by the Hong Kong Governor. As a British, he can't go against it.

Wylie: "Boss, it was the Governor's Office that he hoped that Xiangjiang enterprises would not invest in the mainland as much as possible. I have no choice."

Bao Zixuan: "So the salaries of the Methodist University are paid by the Governor's Office! Are you working in Hutchison Whampoa or the Governor's Office? I hope you have some sense. We are an enterprise and don't mix too many political factors. As long as It's enough to know where to make money, other things are not your concern."

When Wei Li heard Bao Zixuan's words, he was very upset. He was a big class in Hong Kong. Now being scolded by a young man, how can there be no idea.

Wylie: "Boss, Hutchison Whampoa is not only your shareholder, we also consider the opinions of the majority of shareholders."

Bao Zixuan: "So Mr. Wylie still wants to follow his own ideas and ignore the interests of Hutchison Whampoa."

Wylie: "I can't say that. I'm also thinking about the majority of shareholders. After all, I didn't do business in Hong Kong according to the Hong Kong Governor's idea, and I must be the one who suffers in the end."

Bao Zixuan: "I don't like to be involved in political factors when doing business. Since you can't do it, arrange for someone who can do it to take your place."

Wei Li: "Bao Sheng, it doesn't matter what you said. The Hong Kong Company Law stipulates that Taipan can be dismissed only if more than two-thirds of the shareholders agree. You only hold half of the shares, and you have no right to dismiss me."

Bao Zixuan smiled and said: "I said! So I was waiting for me here! But I am disappointed, you don't seem to know. All the executives of Heiyun Group bought the shares of Hutchison Whampoa, why did they agree with Huangpu? Now you know the reason for the high stock price of the company! Whether you leave or get fired is up to you!"

"I don't like to fire employees when I'm doing business. Now all the executives of Hehuang will leave if they want to leave with you. I also welcome those who want to stay at Hehuang and continue to work."

Hearing Bao Zixuan finish speaking, Wei Li was really flustered. He was not worried before because he knew that Heiyun only held 49% of the shares, but he didn't expect so many people in Heiyun to buy Hutchison's shares. Seeing what Bao Zixuan said so calmly, he knew that Heiyun employees must occupy a considerable amount of shares.

There was only one result of the shareholders meeting, and he left in disgust. Although he regretted it at this time, as an Englishman, he knew that he had done nothing wrong. If Hutchison Whampoa is allowed to invest in the mainland, is it still a British company?

Wei Li: "Baosheng, you are not afraid that after I leave, the entire Hutchison system will be paralyzed. The company may not be able to operate normally. At that time, you will not lose a little money, but it will reach hundreds of millions. I don't know if you think about it. Have you?"

When Bao Zixuan heard the threat, he suddenly became a little angry. Then he said: "Are you threatening me! I am a soft-hearted person, and you can let it go. But when the time comes, you must be prepared to bear my anger. You are just a professional manager. Thinking about threatening the boss, who gave you the courage. Do you want to leave now, or I will dismiss you; choose for yourself."

Hearing that Bao Zixuan did not give any face at all, Wei Li said angrily, "Bao Sheng, since you are unkind, don't blame me for being unrighteous."

Bao Zixuan said with a sneer, "Why does Taipan Wei want to be unjust to me, don't overestimate your own strength, you'd better leave a way out for yourself."

Wei Li: "Bao Sheng treats me like this, I have to leave myself a way. Some management members will leave with me, and Hutchison's stock will definitely fall by then. Do you think the loss will be small! And a lot of The business and cooperation projects will be stranded, and the shareholders of the company with problems such as default may suffer even greater losses.”

Bao Zixuan: "Although you can let the horses come over, I have nothing else. I still have some money. Those shareholders who want to give up Huangji Huangpu are my wish."

There was no suspense, Wei Li was dismissed directly by Bao Zixuan. But it also shows that the Englishman is very smart, and Hutchison lost him a sum of money for this. Not many executives left with him. In fact, many people are optimistic about Bao Zixuan leading the company to move forward.

Bao Zixuan directly appointed Huo Jianning as Hutchison Whampoa's top class, which is similar to the development trajectory of his previous life. But now Huo Jianning has to supervise the construction of factories and hotels in Heiyun on the mainland. This can only be the case at the moment, after all, Bao Zixuan really has no talent to work with Also, as Wei Li said, after the British management left. The stock of Hutchison Whampoa has really fallen a lot, and Heiyun employees, adhering to their trust in their bosses, began to buy Hutchison shares on a large scale. This is a guaranteed share price to a certain extent, and Heiyun employees have taken this opportunity to control 30% of the shares of Hutchison. In addition, Li Chao and some retail investors have some shares in their hands, and they will not sell stocks under normal circumstances.

Huo Jianning came to Bao Zixuan and said, "Boss, you are using me alone as a few people! There are so many things in the mainland! You are handing Hutchison to me again. You may not be busy alone. , don't blame me then."

Bao Zixuan: "You can do it with confidence and boldness, I absolutely believe in you. You can also be more daring to invest in the mainland, and we can participate in all infrastructure construction. Especially in the southern Guangdong area, the rest of Kyoto and Shanghai are also available. You can invest boldly.”

Huo Jianning: "The boss is so optimistic about the mainland, but the economy there is still very backward. If we invest too much there, it will take up a lot of money, and the cost will not be recovered for a while."

Bao Zixuan: "When the business reaches our level, don't just consider the immediate gains and losses, but take a long-term perspective. The return of Xiangjiang is a matter of time, and we must prepare in advance."

Huo Jianning: "The British will easily let go. Once the policy changes, we will lose too much."

Bao Zixuan: "Do you think that a country of the five permanent members of the United Nations will leave a tail by its side and not solve it? The mainland also has nuclear weapons. The British are more than 10,000 kilometers away from here, and they will be China's opponents. The war may not be able to be fought, but When the mainland is tough, the British will definitely back down. Now is not a hundred years ago, and the mainland is not the Qing government."
