Chapter 812: The Issue of Whether the Boss of Hong Kong's Dadong Telegraph Bureau Should Stay or Go!
A red Rolls-Royce with bulletproof glass stopped in front of the gate of the New Mercury Building.
Soon, several Mercedes-Benz and Bayier cars stopped.
Yang Ming, Mai Lisi, and Lin Xiuzhi got out of the car. Yang Ming had already seen a white man in his fifties, wearing a suit and not very tall.
This was Peng Bingtang, the general manager of the Hong Kong Dadong Telegraph Bureau.
"Sir Yang, welcome to the headquarters of the Hong Kong Dadong Telegraph Bureau for inspection."
Peng Bingtang hurriedly greeted Yang Ming.
Then he greeted Mai Lisi next to him.
Later, when Peng Bingtang introduced other senior executives of the Hong Kong Dadong Telegraph Bureau, Yang Ming noticed that they were all white again.
Yang Ming, Mai Lisi, Lin Xiuzhi, Peng Bingtang and others went inside.
"Mr. Peng, have you learned that the Empire Group has acquired the Hong Kong Dadong Telegraph Bureau in full?"
"Sir Yang, I received news from the headquarters last night."
Peng Bingtang took Yang Ming, Mai Lisi and others in to inspect various departments.
This is the headquarters of Hong Kong Telegraph Bureau, and it is also the office of its major departments. There are still many office workers.
There are white people and Chinese people.
Of course, the executives are still mainly white people, and ordinary workers are mainly Chinese people.
Like Hong Kong Telephone Company, Yang Ming visited it and found it was still very busy.
It is the same here now.
After Yang Ming visited it once.
Came to the general manager's office.
Now there are only Yang Ming and Peng Bingtang here.
"Mr. Peng, the Empire Group acquired Hong Kong Telegraph Bureau for 4.5 billion Hong Kong dollars. What do you think?"
4.5 billion Hong Kong dollars for a full acquisition?
In Peng Bingtang's view, it has to be said that it is really a big deal.
Some time ago, the Empire Group just acquired Wheelock, and now it has spent more than 4 billion Hong Kong dollars to acquire it.
In addition, he also knew that the Empire Group had just established Hong Kong's first airline and purchased 100 large passenger aircraft worldwide, which requires a lot of money.
However, the Empire Group is rich.
"Congratulations to Sir Yang and Empire Group. In my opinion, Hong Kong Dadong Telegraph Bureau is a very high-quality company that can bring rich profits to Empire Group every year."
"I heard that Hong Kong Dadong Telegraph Bureau is preparing to acquire Hong Kong Telephone Company?"
Yang Ming asked directly.
Peng Bingtang was a little surprised.
He didn't expect that Sir Yang knew about this plan.
How did Sir Yang know about it?
Peng Bingtang only started to target Hong Kong Telephone Company with the acquisition plan this year.
However, he already knew that Hong Kong Telephone Company had long been controlled by Empire Group. If he wanted to swallow Hong Kong Telephone Company, he must get the consent of Empire Group.
Now, those plans are naturally useless.
Historically, Hong Kong Dadong Telegraph Bureau has been getting better and better under the management of Peng Bingtang, which shows that this person is still very capable.
But is this person willing to work for him?
Yang Ming has to think it over.
This involves the issue of important communication information.
"Sir Yang, we originally had such a plan, but later we learned that Empire Group has already controlled Hong Kong Telephone Company, and we have given up this opportunity." Peng Bingtang could only say that.
"Now, Hong Kong Cable & Telegraph Company has been acquired by Empire Group, although it has not been announced yet. I wonder what your plans are?"
Plans?
In other words, stay?
Or leave?
Historically, the other party has been working at Hong Kong Cable & Telegraph Company for many years. Even after Hong Kong Cable & Telegraph Company and Hong Kong Telephone Company merged to become Hong Kong Telecommunications Company, he still served as a deputy.
"Do you want to stay? Or do you want to leave and go back to London?"
Seeing that the other party did not answer, Yang Ming said another sentence.
"Sir Yang, I need to think clearly."
"I can let you continue to serve as the general manager. You have to think clearly about who your boss will be in the future. If you don't want to stay, you can officially resign today, and I will re-select the right person to take over your position."
When Yang Ming officially announced that he had swallowed up Hong Kong Cable & Telegraph Company, he would definitely have to determine who the general manager would be.
Peng Bingtang already understood.
Yang Ming came out of his general manager's office.
"Malley, talk to Mr. Peng."
"Yes, boss."
Malley went in to talk to Peng Bingtang.
In fact, Peng Bingtang still couldn't accept it. How could the Y capital suddenly become the property of Empire Group? He couldn't accept it for a while.
If he resigned, he would definitely return to the Great Eastern Telegraph Group of Y Country in London and obey the headquarters to arrange a new position.
But he was reluctant to leave this position.
When Mai Lisi came in.
Mai Lisi was the general manager of Empire Group and the second person in Empire Group. He was also white. It was more appropriate for him to talk to Peng Bingtang.
Yang Ming and Lin Xiuzhi were waiting outside.
In Yang Ming's opinion, if the time was right, he didn't want to keep Peng Bingtang in this position.
Now the benefits of keeping him were greater than holding back, and it would stabilize the internal situation of Great Eastern Telegraph Group in Hong Kong.
Yang Ming knew that the right person should be Yuan Tianfan.
Now Yuan Tianfan was still in Silicon Valley.
Yang Ming wanted Yuan Tianfan to gain more experience for a few more years before taking this position.
Historically, Li Jiacheng has been making use of white professional managers while cultivating his own Chinese elites, such as Huo Jianning, Yuan Tianfan, etc.
In particular, Huo Jianning can say that historically, he was promoted very quickly in Changchun Industrial Group because Li Jiacheng was still wary of white executives.
Mailisi and Peng Bingtang were talking inside.
The two most important pieces of information.
First, if Peng Bingtang continues to stay as the general manager of the Xiangjiang Dadong Telegraph Bureau, then he must cut off other ties with London.
The second one is loyal to Yang Ming and considers everything for Yang Ming and the Imperial Group.
These are the two most important pieces of information.
If Peng Bingtang can't do it, then he will hold a press conference tomorrow and officially announce his resignation.
Peng Bingtang looked at Meris and asked: "Mr. Meris, does Sir Yang really trust you that much? Or trust us white people that much?"
"Why? The current executives of the Imperial Group are basically all white. Ma Shimin, Wei Li, Li Caixin, Bao Fuda, Xia Boyin, Wei Peter, Mou Shili, and even John Bao, who joined some time ago, who is not a white person?"
"I heard Sir Yang is not so easy to get along with?"
"It is said that?"
In Malice's opinion, there is probably no boss in the world who is as easy to get along with as Sir Yang.
The most important thing is Sir Yang's trust in himself.
"Although I don't know who you heard from, I can tell you that it's just that others are jealous of my boss, Sir Yang."
After Peng Bingtang finished listening.
Silence fell.
When Meris was about to leave, Peng Bingtang hurriedly said: "In that case, I am willing to stay and continue to serve as the general manager until my retirement. In addition, I will formally submit my resignation to the London headquarters and no longer be Belongs to the staff of the Dadong Telegraph Bureau of Country Y."
