Chapter 76 Yang Ming Becomes Chairman of Hutchison Whampoa!
Yang Ming has acquired Hutchison Whampoa, and he is going to inspect his company.
10:00 am.
Yang Ming, Lin Xiuzhi, Tang Shilian and others left the Federal Building by car and went to Hutchison House.
Yang Ming just arrived at the gate of Hutchison House in a Rolls-Royce.
Hutchison House!
Hutchison Whampoa Vice Chairman and CEO Wei Li, as well as important senior executives of Hutchison Whampoa all came out to greet him.
"Welcome Mr. Yang to inspect Hutchison Whampoa." Wei Li stood up and said.
Yang Ming smiled, and Lin Xiuzhi pushed him inside.
The Hutchison Whampoa executives who followed Wei Li had different expressions, and they didn't know what Yang Ming's attitude was.
Wei Li had already said that Mr. Yang would not interfere with Hutchison Whampoa.
What was the reality?
Yang Ming and others took the elevator to the Hutchison House conference room.
Yang Ming sat at the head of the conference room.
Lin Xiuzhi and Tang Shilian sat next to Yang Ming.
The long table in the conference room, on the left are Wei Li, Li Caixin and others, on the right are Xia Boyin, Wei Peter and others.
When Li Caixin saw that Yang Ming only brought two female employees, he was relieved.
Yang Ming looked over and saw that Hutchison Whampoa, headed by Wei Li, was actually all British management.
Except for a small number of Chinese.
Historically, because Hutchison International is a British-funded industry, it is normal that Hutchison Whampoa's management is basically British.
However, in history, after Li Jiacheng acquired Hutchison Whampoa, he had a big conflict with Wei Li, Li Caixin and other white management.
Now Yang Ming saw these all-British management, he already understood why Li Jiacheng would be like that.
Li Jiacheng was really afraid that Hutchison Whampoa would be completely hollowed out by these white people.
Speaking of which, there are also many white people who are important contributors around Yang Ming.
The first batch of white employees of Empire Group are all British.
"Everyone, my name is Yang Ming, the chairman of Empire Group. I just acquired Wharf some time ago. I think everyone has a certain understanding of me."
For Yang Ming.
These people have seen it in newspapers.
In addition to being young, Yang Ming is in a wheelchair.
However, Yang Ming wears a pair of glasses, so they can't see Yang Ming's eyes clearly.
Being able to swallow up Wharf Holdings first and then Hutchison Whampoa, he is definitely not an ordinary person.
"Now I officially announce that I will serve as the chairman of the board of directors of Hutchison Whampoa, and the directors, Ms. Lin Xiuzhi and Ms. Tang Shilian, are also new directors of Hutchison Whampoa."
In other words, Yang Ming is now the new boss of Hutchison Whampoa.
In addition to being the chairman of the Empire Group, he is also the boss of Wharf Holdings and Hutchison Whampoa.
This point was confirmed when Yang Ming acquired Hutchison Whampoa.
"Here, I promise everyone that I will not interfere with the management of Hutchison Whampoa. I announce that Mr. Wei Li will continue to serve as the CEO, Mr. Li Caixin will serve as the executive vice president, Mr. Xia Boyin will continue to serve as the business director, and Mr. Wei Peter will continue to serve as the political director."
Last night.
Yang Ming was in the meeting room of Huifeng Bank, and he had talked to Wei Peter.
Wei Peter is a smart man and has long been on Yang Ming's side.
Of course, Peter Wei was originally sent by Huifeng Bank to supervise Wei Li and others.
"Do you have any objections?" Yang Ming looked at Wei Li and others and asked.
"I fully support Mr. Yang's appointment." Wei Li stood up and said.
Li Caixin, Xia Boyin, and Peter Wei all expressed their approval of Mr. Yang's appointment.
Since Wei Li and the current three horses of Hutchison Whampoa have no problems, other management naturally have no objections.
"Mr. Wei Li, I am not familiar with other senior executives of Hutchison Whampoa. Can you introduce them to me?"
"Yes, Chairman."
"Chairman, this is Mr. Richard Xin, Executive Vice President."
Wei Li began to introduce these managements to Yang Ming one by one.
Like Peter Wei, Yang Ming already knows him.
As for Xia Boyin and Li Caixin, they are the first time to meet.
Especially Li Caixin, who joined Hutchison Whampoa very early and experienced the era of Qi Dezun and Wei Li.
Historically, after Wei Li was forced to leave by Li Jiacheng, Li Jiacheng temporarily let Li Caixin take over Wei Li's position for a smooth transition.
This Li Caixin is not simple. At that time, he regarded himself as the spokesperson of Hutchison Whampoa and did not take Li Jiacheng seriously at all. He even hoped that Li Jiacheng would not interfere with the development of Hutchison Whampoa like Huifeng Bank.
Li Caixin eventually broke out with Li Jiacheng and could not ease the conflict. After Mai Lisi and Huo Jianning completely replaced the management of Hutchison Whampoa, they finally drove Li Caixin away, and Hutchison Whampoa completely became Li Jiacheng's company.
Now from the perspective of these managements, Li Caixin and others are still very strong. Their ambitions are still there, and they don't want Yang Ming to interfere in anything about Hutchison Whampoa.
They just hope that Yang Ming can be a major shareholder.
Yang Ming did not point it out.
Now he is still using Li Jiacheng's method.
It is easy to drive away these managements, but it will cause chaos in the management of Hutchison Whampoa, and the losses will definitely be Hutchison Whampoa and him.
Yang Ming came here this time to appease Hutchison Whampoa.
Yang Ming's recent appointment.
In fact, nothing else has changed except that he officially serves as the chairman of Hutchison Whampoa.
Yang Ming keeps an eye on these people, and when the time is right, if they do not obey him, he will use them as an example to scare the monkeys.
After Wei Li introduced these managements, Yang Ming smiled and said, "Then Hutchison Whampoa will be handed over to you."
Yang Ming did not stay.
Wei Li and others personally sent Yang Ming downstairs. When they saw Yang Ming get on the Rolls-Royce and leave, except for the moody Li Caixin, Wei Li's expression was very normal. When the other managements saw that Yang Ming really did not interfere with the company's management rights, they finally felt relieved.
"Mr. Yang is gone."
Someone shouted excitedly.
Xia Boyin and Wei Peter went back to their offices.
Li Caixin followed Wei Li.
"President, I want to talk to you alone." Li Caixin said.
"Go to my office."
After arriving at Wei Li's office and closing the door, Li Caixin said directly: "President, I think Mr. Yang is not simple. He said he would not interfere in Hutchison Whampoa's affairs now, but what if in the future?"
Li Caixin's words completely exposed the other party's ambition for Hutchison Whampoa.
"Vice President Li, let's talk about the future later."
Wei Li did not want to say more.
. . .
In the Rolls-Royce.
Lin Xiuzhi and Tang Shilian sat next to Yang Ming.
"Boss, I think those white executives of Hutchison Whampoa don't take you seriously at all. It's obvious that they want to continue to undermine Hutchison Whampoa." Lin Xiuzhi said directly.
They can all see this.
Yang Ming sighed and said, "Yes. I just hope to smoothly transition to control Hutchison Whampoa. Now I don't have a suitable candidate to replace Wei Li and others."
Lin Xiuzhi and Tang Shilian also sighed. They knew their abilities. Even if Yang Ming asked them to serve as the executive president of Hutchison Whampoa, they were afraid that they would not be able to do it.
How could those executives of Hutchison Whampoa be convinced by them?
In the final analysis, there is still a lack of "generals" who can truly stand on their own around Yang Ming.
The Empire Group has only been in operation for more than a month, and it can hire more employees. It is really difficult to find generals who can truly stand on their own.
