Chapter 274 Xia Boyin Pledges Allegiance to Yang Ming! Officially Serves as the Chairman of Hong Kong TV
Chapter 274 Xia Boyin pledges loyalty to Yang Ming! Officially appointed as the general manager of Xiangjiang Electric Company!!
Wei Li turned around and was about to leave.
Xia Boyin hurried over to hold Wei Li.
As the fourth largest listed company in Hong Kong, Xiangjiang Electric Company is naturally a super listed company. As the general manager, he would be the new boss of Xiangjiang Electric Company, which is many times better than being the business director of Hutchison Whampoa.
Such a good opportunity, how could Xia Boyin miss it?
"President, I'm not saying I don't want to." Xia Boyin hurriedly held him and said.
"Then what did you mean just now? Let me tell you, if Mr. Yang didn't lack other professional managers, how could such a good position be your turn?"
"Yes."
Xia Boyin saw that Wei Li's expression was better.
Wei Li continued, "Now, Hong Kong is Mr. Yang's world. Don't think about those unreasonable ideas in the past. If you still want to continue to work in Hong Kong, you must work for Mr. Yang wholeheartedly."
"President, I understand what you mean."
British capital has successively lost Wharf Holdings, Hutchison Whampoa, and Jardine Matheson Land. Even Niu Bijian of Jardine Matheson Land hanged himself. Xia Boyin has long recognized the current facts.
The ambition to unite with Wei Li and Li Caixin to swallow up Hutchison Whampoa has long ceased to exist.
"Mr. Yang is different from other Chinese. He trusts us white people very much. As long as you have the ability, your salary and benefits will match your ability. On the contrary, if you are not capable, someone else will soon replace you. In my opinion, with Mr. Yang's current position in Hong Kong, many Chinese elites who could not stand out will soon stand out."
Wei Li is really right about this point.
In the past, there was Chinese capital in Hong Kong, but not much.
For example, Hengsheng Bank is controlled by Huifeng Bank.
Historically, before Li Jiacheng acquired Hutchison Whampoa and Bao Yugang swallowed up Wharf Holdings, the first choice for Hong Kong's Chinese elites to find jobs must be Huifeng Bank.
Then other Chinese-owned groups.
It's not that they don't want to switch to those British-owned foreign companies, but the white management of British-owned foreign companies excludes them and almost monopolizes all high-paying management positions.
Now that Mr. Yang has acquired major British companies in Hong Kong through the Empire Group, it is very different.
With the support of Mr. Yang, more Chinese elites will surely rise.
Now the Empire Group is only Tang Shilian and a few others, and compared with their white management, it is really far behind.
"President, you are right."
"Mr. Yang dares to use people like Bao Fuda, what are you worried about? The slower you react, the lower your status will be in Mr. Yang's circle. Now Li Caixin has reacted, can't you be compared with Bao Fuda and Li Caixin?"
"Thank you for your teachings, President."
"Remember, Mr. Yang is not comparable to ordinary people. If you still have second thoughts, I advise you to stay in Hutchison Whampoa and retire on your own initiative when you reach retirement age."
"President, I want to seize this opportunity."
Xia Boyin said hurriedly.
He is now in his forties or fifties, and it is still early for retirement. He still wants to be a professional manager.
"I have said everything I should say. If you want to understand, go to Empire Group to see Mr. Yang immediately."
"Yes, President."
Wei Li has already gone out.
Xia Boyin returned to his seat.
He did not stop, but hurriedly took his suit and put it on, hurriedly got down from Hutchison Building, got into his Bayer car, and went to the Federal Building.
. . .
Yang Ming was looking out the window in the chairman's office.
"Boss, Mr. Xia Boyin is here."
Lin Xiuzhi came over and said.
"Let him in."
Lin Xiuzhi brought Xia Boyin in.
Xia Boyin noticed that Mr. Yang was not sitting in a wheelchair, but standing by the window looking outside.
Somewhat surprised.
"Boss, I'm here."
"Did Wei Li tell you?"
"Boss, President Wei Li told me that he recommended me to be the new general manager of Xiangjiang Electric Light Company."
"What do you think?"
"Boss, I didn't have any other ideas until I knew the situation of Xiangjiang Electric Light Company. However, I will do whatever the boss says in the future."
"Okay, you said it well, and I recognize your ability very much."
In history.
Xia Boyin, Wei Li, and Li Caixin were all driven away by Li Jiacheng.
That's because Li Jiacheng didn't trust them and didn't dare to use them. Now Yang Ming is different. These people can either be loyal to him and work hard for him, or leave Yang Ming's company and join other companies.
Like the Wheelock & Co., Swire & Co., etc. in Hong Kong now, but even if they switch jobs and join, they may not be able to return to their original positions.
"Lin Xiuzhi, call Mai Lisi and Tang Shilian, let Tang Shilian take two financial staff and take a car to the Hong Kong Electric Company Center Building immediately."
"Yes, boss."
. . .
No. 44 Kennedy Road, Hong Kong.
Hong Kong Electric Center Building.
This is the building and headquarters of the Hong Kong Electric Company.
Yang Ming, Mai Lisi, Xia Boyin, Tang Shilian, Lin Xiuzhi, and two employees of the Finance Department came by car.
The management of the Hong Kong Electric Company had already known the news in advance.
Yesterday, the Xiangjiang Electric Company was officially acquired by the Empire Group, and now Mr. Yang, the chairman of the Empire Group, came to inspect in person.
Now all the white executives came out of the building to greet them.
When they saw the luxury cars such as the Rolls-Royce and Bentley with special license plates stopped.
They knew that the new boss, Mr. Yang, had arrived.
"Mr. Yang is here."
. . .
Yang Ming got out of the car and got on the wheelchair.
When Mai Lisi, Xia Boyin, Tang Shilian, Lin Xiuzhi and others followed behind Yang Ming, the all-white management immediately came over to greet Yang Ming.
Before this, the Xiangjiang Electric Company did not have family shareholders, and these managements were professional managers who were invited back.
However, when the new boss, Mr. Yang, came, he immediately came over and greeted Mr. Yang, Mai Lisi and others respectfully.
Yang Ming nodded in response and went into the Hong Kong Electric Center Building.
In 1888, Hong Kong Electric was the first power company in Hong Kong founded by Paul Chater, the father of the colony. However, Hong Kong Electric had no relationship with him.
Now, ninety years later, it has become Yang Ming's company.
This company has never been British-funded.
The white management of Hong Kong Electric looked at Yang Ming with some fear, and they didn't know what attitude Mr. Yang would have towards them.
A group of people came to the meeting room of the Electric Company.
Yang Ming sat in the chief position.
Mai Lisi and Xia Boyin sat on both sides of Yang Ming, with Tang Shilian and Lin Xiuzhi behind him.
"A few months ago, the Empire Group was already the largest shareholder of Hong Kong Electric, but it was not announced until the right opportunity came. Yesterday morning, it had already purchased 49% of the shares. Today, the Empire Group's shareholding in Hong Kong Electric has reached more than 70%, which means that Hong Kong Electric has become the property of me and the Empire Group."
The white management of Hong Kong Electric had no doubts.
That's what the Hong Kong Company Law stipulates. Basically, more than 30% of the shares are enough to control a company.
"Now I announce new personnel appointments. I will serve as the chairman of the Hong Kong Electric Company and a director of the Hong Kong Electric Company. Mr. Mai Lisi will serve as a director of the Hong Kong Electric Company. Mr. Xia Boyin, the business director of Hutchison Whampoa, will serve as the general manager and director of the Hong Kong Electric Company."
In other words, from now on, Xia Boyin will be the new general manager of the Hong Kong Electric Company and the new boss.
