Chapter 748 Candidates for General Manager of Overseas Trust Bank!
Historically.
The final fruits of the Chinese banking crisis that broke out in Hong Kong in the 1980s have now all been swallowed up by the Empire Group and Yang Ming.
For this fruit, Yang Ming prepared for two years in advance.
The most important thing is to have enough reserve funds.
Without those funds, it would be impossible for Yang Ming to swallow up those Chinese banks, especially the Overseas Trust Bank.
Why in history, these Chinese banks were taken over by the Governor's Office and then sold to other consortiums by the Governor's Office.
It is precisely because in history, no other Chinese consortium had so much money to swallow up these banks.
Some did.
Including Li Jiacheng, who swallowed up Hutchison Whampoa in history. Li Jiacheng could not do that because of his relationship with Huifeng Bank and Mr. Shen.
When Lin Xiuzhi went to make coffee for Yang Ming.
Yang Ming stood at the window and looked outside, he was still a little calm.
Now, this Chinese banking crisis caused by the real estate industry in Hong Kong has been punctured and resolved in advance because of Yang Ming's intervention.
There are still many problems here.
Including, the exact amount of debt owed by Hang Lung Bank, Overseas Trust Bank, etc., still needs to be sorted out.
In addition.
As the third largest bank in Hong Kong, the original chairman of Overseas Trust Bank, Huang Changzan, is no longer suitable for this position.
These days, Yang Ming has been considering who should take over Huang Changzan's position.
"Lin Xiuzhi, go and call Mai Lisi."
"Yes, boss."
Lin Xiuzhi walked to the general manager's office next door in high heels.
Mai Lisi was already busy.
"Mr. Mai Lisi, the boss asked you to come over."
Mai Lisi came to Yang Ming's chairman's office.
Yang Ming looked at him and said, "Mailisi, have you been really hard these days?"
Mai Lisi has been acquiring those Chinese banks these days, and he has never rested. He has been personally negotiating with the founders, bosses, chairmen, and major shareholders of those Chinese banks.
Among them, the biggest advantage of the Empire Group is that in addition to sufficient funds, it is more aware of the debt problems of these Chinese banks.
In fact, if there is no intervention from the Empire Group,
Even the Feng family of Sun Hung Kai Bank will have big problems.
Although the Feng family has a lot of connections in Hong Kong and has made a lot of money, the decline of Hong Kong real estate this time is serious enough to affect the Feng family.
Otherwise, with the Feng family's own ability and connections, how can they not even keep their own bank?
There is also the Wing On Bank of the Guo family.
The Guo family is an old comprador family. In the past, the Guo family and the Li family were very powerful comprador families.
However, they have declined in recent years.
This time, the Guo family can't keep Wing On Bank. When the Empire Group wanted to acquire it, the Guo family could only sell Wing On Bank to the Empire Group.
"Boss, I think all the hard work is worth it."
Mai Lisi said excitedly.
At the beginning, in Mai Lisi's view, it was already very good for the Empire Group to swallow up one or two Chinese banks. He felt that with these one or two Chinese banks, the Empire Group could also develop.
Now the Empire Group has directly swallowed up 11 Chinese banks.
What is the concept?
Now the Empire Group has 11 independent Chinese banks with 11 banking licenses.
In fact, any of these banking licenses will be valuable in the future, not to mention that the business volume of these banks is not too small.
If they can be reorganized, they can still develop better.
Yang Ming naturally attaches the most importance to Hang Lung Bank and Overseas Trust Bank.
Today, Hang Lung Bank has been handed over to Liang Jinsong for management.
Liang Jinsong comes from the banking industry after all, and Hang Lung Bank quickly returned to normal under his management.
Overseas Trust Bank, as the third largest bank in Hong Kong, is now managed by other executives after Huang Changzan was investigated by ICAC.
With the Empire Group having sent the finance department, there is no chaos inside Overseas Trust Bank.
"Malley, who do you think is suitable for the position of general manager of Overseas Trust Bank?"
Who is suitable?
Yang Ming had already asked him to consider this issue.
As for Huang Changzan, although he had already surrendered to Yang Ming in advance, in the eyes of Malley, Huang Changzan was not capable enough to continue to sit in that position.
It is similar to the situation when the Empire Group acquired Jardine Matheson Land, when Paul Fuda suddenly betrayed Niu Bijian and Henry Joseph and joined Yang Ming. However, Paul Fuda is still very capable, so Yang Ming made him the general manager of the Landmark Group.
However, Huang Changzan is far less capable than Paul Fuda.
It is precisely because of this that a heavyweight must be sent to take the position again.
The position of general manager of Overseas Trust Bank is more important than that of general manager of Hang Lung Bank.
"Boss, I think we can choose one from Mr. Ma Shimin, Mr. Weli, Mr. Wei Peter, and Mr. Xia Boyin."
Now Ma Shimin is the general manager of the Landmark Group.
Weli is the executive president of Hutchison Whampoa.
Wei Peter is the general manager of Wharf Holdings.
Xia Boyin is the general manager of Hong Kong Electric Company.
Among them, Wei Peter was also a director of the original Huifeng Bank and one of the three horses sent by Huifeng Bank to Hutchison Whampoa. He is very familiar with banking business.
Ma Shimin is needless to say.
Yang Ming's right-hand man and one of the two most important white executives of Li Jiacheng in history.
Wei Li has worked in Hutchison Whampoa for many years. His ability is obvious to all and he is known as the fourth person in the Empire Group.
Mai Lisi himself is the general manager of the Empire Group and now also serves as the general manager of Hang Lung Bank. Although he does not care about the affairs of Hang Lung Bank, he cannot serve as the general manager of Overseas Trust Bank.
Considering that the positioning of Overseas Trust Bank is the same as that of Huifeng Bank and Zada Bank, the position of general manager becomes very important.
He now recognizes Ma Shimin, Wei Li, Xia Boyin, and Wei Peter.
Of course, there is another person.
Mou Shili, general manager of Hong Kong Underground Railway Company.
Mou Shili was also a director of Huifeng Bank.
However, Mou Shili joined the Empire Group not long ago, and Mai Lisi did not consider him in the end.
When Yang Ming heard the four people recommended by Mai Lisi, he felt that Mai Lisi had no selfish motives and was wholeheartedly considering the Empire Group.
The position of the general manager of the Overseas Trust Bank is indeed very important. Only when these people are in charge of the management can the Overseas Trust Bank develop.
"If Ma Shimin becomes the general manager of the Overseas Trust Bank, who will be the general manager of Jardine Matheson?"
At this time, Jardine Matheson Land, the former leader of the four major foreign companies in Hong Kong, has been divided into Jardine Matheson Group and Landmark Group. Even so, the scale of Jardine Matheson Group is still very large. The position of the general manager of Jardine Matheson Group is not something that ordinary people can do.
In history, Niu Bijian was still very capable, but he became a scapegoat and committed suicide. Even if he was alive, he would not be able to join the Empire Group.
Simon Joseph is also very capable, but the Joseph family has no relationship with Jardine Matheson Land and has long since returned to the Y country market.
In addition.
Yang Ming has been making use of Chinese elites.
Like Huo Jianning, Yuan Tianfan, Liang Jinsong, Liang Botao, Li Huimin, even Xu Qingsheng, Tang Shilian, etc., these Chinese elites are very good and are also growing.
Especially Huo Jianning, Yang Ming is very optimistic about him.
Huo Jianning is now in Moscow dealing with the affairs of the Soviet Union and Eastern Europe, so Yang Ming cannot transfer him back.
Most importantly, Huo Jianning is not suitable to take this position so quickly.
