Chapter 236 Li Caixin Is Convinced by Mr. Yang!

Li Caixin was unwilling to give up such a good opportunity to rise.

Originally, he was the second-in-command under Welch at Hutchison Whampoa. Now that he has taken over the position of political director of Peter Welch, his management rights in Hutchison Whampoa have actually been greatly restricted, which is very different from the original position of executive vice president.

He also suspected that Mr. Yang had done something to him, but he also knew that all this was arranged by Welch.

In other words, if he was transferred to the newly formed First Shipping Group as general manager, he would be the top leader, which would definitely be very different from the original.

Without interference from other outsiders, he can better exert his talents.

Historically, he looked down on Li Jiacheng and did not want to be interfered with by major shareholders like Li Jiacheng, so he joined other white management in Hutchison Whampoa and always sang against Li Jiacheng and other Chinese management.

Li Caixin has always been just a senior professional manager.

This time, when the Empire Group swallowed up Jardine Matheson Land and Jardine Matheson Land boss Niu Bijian committed suicide in the detention center, Li Caixin only reacted.

Hong Kong is no longer the world of British capital.

Mr. Yang is now the boss of Hong Kong.

"Mr. Yang is a good boss. You are a smart man. You should know your choice."

Wei Li patted his shoulder and said.

When Wei Li called the waitress to settle the bill.

"After you think it over, go to the Repulse Bay Mid-Levels Villa to see Mr. Yang immediately. Mr. Yang is waiting for you."

"Yes, Mr. Wei Li."

Wei Li left here, got on the Bentley, and quickly disappeared into the night.

Either surrender to Mr. Yang.

Or leave Hutchison Whampoa.

According to his situation in Hutchison Whampoa, if it remains the same, his position will definitely decline further.

Li Caixin knew that these were the two paths he could choose.

So he chose the first one, surrender to Mr. Yang.

When he took a sip of the bitter coffee.

Leaving the cafe, getting in the car, and driving to the Repulse Bay Mid-Levels Villa.

. . .

0:25 in the evening.

Yang Ming was working on the computer in the study.

Ah Zhu and Zhong Chuhong were beside him.

After returning to Hong Kong from Yanjing, the two women found that the weather in Hong Kong was still comfortable.

Now the temperature in Hong Kong at night is kept at more than 20 degrees Celsius, neither cold nor hot. In Yanjing, it is already very cold at night.

At this time, Lin Dezhong came and knocked on the door.

"Mr. Yang, it's Mr. Li Caixin."

"Bring him up to see me."

When Lin Dezhong brought Li Caixin up.

Li Caixin, who came to the Repulse Bay Mid-Levels Villa for the first time, was still very curious about this place.

At this time, Ah Zhu and Zhong Chuhong had left, and only Yang Ming was left in the study.

Yang Ming was sitting in a wheelchair, looking out the window.

"Mr. Yang, Mr. Li is here."

"Mr. Yang." Li Caixin greeted respectfully.

Lin Dezhong left.

Yang Ming turned around and looked at Li Caixin.

This was not the first time he had met Li Caixin, he had met him several times.

The first time was when Yang Ming swallowed up the Hutchison International shares held by Huifeng Bank and became the largest shareholder of Hutchison Whampoa. At that time, he went to Hutchison Whampoa in person.

He remembered clearly that the white executives headed by Li Caixin did not seem to take Yang Ming's appearance seriously at all.

Now, in just a few months, the Chinese and British capital in Hong Kong have undergone earth-shaking changes.

The Empire Group not only swallowed up Wharf Holdings and Hutchison Whampoa, invested in Huifeng Bank, but also swallowed up Hong Kong's largest foreign company, Jardine Land, which frightened other British capital in Hong Kong and made them desperately try to keep their own industries.

Moreover, Niu Bijian's suicide shocked many people.

Like Li Caixin.

Historically, he did not like the interference of major shareholders in Hutchison Whampoa, not only in the era of Qi Dezun, but also in the era when Huifeng Bank was the major shareholder of Hutchison Whampoa, and in the era when Li Jiacheng was the major shareholder of Hutchison Whampoa.

In addition, the reason why he did that was that he looked down on those Chinese capitals.

Especially in history, when Li Jiacheng swallowed up Hutchison Whampoa at a very low price.

When he first met Yang Ming, his mentality was like that.

Now, he has understood that Mr. Yang is very different.

"Did Wei Li tell you?"

"Mr. Wei Li said that he recommended me to be the general manager of the newly formed First Shipping Group."

"Yes, he recommended you and Xia Boyin, thinking that you are more capable than Xia Boyin, and your personality is more suitable for the current position. I agree with Wei Li. If you don't want to, I can also let Xia Boyin take this position."

"Mr. Yang, I am very happy."

"Then what do you think of the newly formed First Shipping Group? Also, I heard that the global shipping industry may be in a major recession, and the shipping industry crisis has emerged. Bao Yugang even proposed a plan to abandon the ship and land."

Global shipping industry recession?

In fact, as far as the global capital market is concerned, this situation will occur every once in a while, because the global shipping industry is oversupplied, which will inevitably lead to the bankruptcy of some global shipbuilding companies and the bankruptcy of some shipping companies with weak competitiveness in this crisis.

In Li Caixin's view, this is actually a good opportunity for development.

As for Bao Yugang's plan to abandon the boat and land, Li Caixin believed that since the main business of Bao Yugang's family was shipping, there was no way they could completely withdraw from the business. They could just sell some of the ships and use the funds to invest in other industries.

This is just like someone predicting that the global stock market will fall, so they sell some stocks in advance, get the funds, and invest in other industries. Before the global stock market rises again, they will definitely buy back the stocks.

Obviously, Bao Yugang's plan to abandon the ship and land is just like that. First, sell some of the ships and get a lot of funds to invest in other industries, so that the ships will not depreciate excessively at that time.

Because ships are always worn out, the older they are, the less valuable they are. They can be sold when the price of ships is high to get some funds.

After a few years, buy the ships back and continue to be the world's shipping king.

This is why, in history, when Bao Yugang acquired Wharf and Wheelock, the Bao Yugang family did not have much funds on their own, and many of them were borrowed from Huifeng Bank at high interest.

This is because when he abandoned the ship and landed, he only sold some of the ships, and did not sell most of the ships of Global Shipping and Asian Shipping.

In this case, of course, the funds obtained would not be too much.

Yang Ming and Li Caixin mentioned Bao Yugang, that is, to let Li Caixin regard Bao Yugang as his opponent.

Yang Ming did not expect that Li Caixin was really capable and could see the problem so quickly.

"Li Caixin, you are right. Any industry will face an industry crisis when it develops to a certain extent. As long as it can be successfully overcome, then these are not a problem."

Historically, Dong Haoyun of Orient Shipping and John Macdonald of Wheelock & Co. both increased their investment in shipping.

On the contrary, Dong Haoyun survived, although he owed more than 20 billion in debt, but Orient Overseas Group was stronger and became the second largest ship king in Hong Kong and the second largest ship king in the world.

John Macdonald could not survive, not only did he fail to develop the shipping industry of Wheelock & Co., but he even lost Wheelock & Co., with huge losses.

Yang Ming and Li Caixin talked a lot there.

It turned out that Li Caixin thought that Mr. Yang could swallow up Wharf Holdings and even Hutchison Whampoa, and he thought that Mr. Yang was just lucky.

At this time, when he was chatting with Mr. Yang, he really realized that he was wrong.

Mr. Yang's ability is far more powerful than he imagined.

No wonder, now Mai Lisi, Ma Shimin and others have all surrendered to Mr. Yang.

"Mr. Yang, I will do my best to manage the First Shipping Group for you."

. . .

"Li Caixin, I believe in your ability. People like Bao Fuda, who used to be my enemy, I can use him with confidence. There is no contradiction between you and me. Just manage the First Shipping Company for me. I recognize your ability very much."

"Yes, boss."

At this moment, Li Caixin finally admitted that Mr. Yang was his boss.

He really admired Yang Ming.

If Yang Ming dared to use people like Bao Fuda, then why wouldn't the boss use him with confidence?

"Do you have any other ideas?"

"Boss, when I join the First Shipping Group, I want to bring a few subordinates from Hutchison Whampoa with me."

Li Caixin has worked at Hutchison Whampoa for so many years, and he has some very important and capable white confidants. He wants to bring them to the First Shipping Company, and Yang Ming fully understands.

"Okay, you can tell Wei Li then."

"Thank you for your support, boss."

"It's late, you will go to the Empire Group meeting room tomorrow to attend the press conference, and then your personnel appointment will be officially announced."

Lin Dezhong sent Li Caixin out.

When Li Caixin got in the car, he was still very excited.

He had always thought that Mr. Yang would definitely have an opinion about him, but he didn't expect that after meeting him tonight, he found that it was not what he imagined.

Perhaps, Yang Ming didn't take him seriously from the beginning.

If he had other ideas tonight, he would have to leave Hutchison Whampoa sooner or later.
