Chapter 83 Ma Shimin!
Ma Shimin, formerly known as Simon Murray.
Born in Leicester in 1940, he joined the mercenary army.
After retiring, Ma Shimin joined Jardine Matheson and worked in the Far East, starting from a low level, selling air-conditioning systems and elevators.
He has worked for Jardine Matheson for 12 years and is now a director of several subsidiaries of Jardine Matheson.
Some time ago, the Imperial Group suddenly appeared and directly swallowed the Wharf of Jardine Land through a surprise attack, which surprised him.
What surprised him even more was that the Imperial Group quickly swallowed up Hutchison Whampoa, the second largest foreign bank in Hong Kong.
He met Li Jiacheng a long time ago because of the business of selling air conditioners. He was optimistic about Li Jiacheng. However, he did not like people like Li Jiacheng, so that Li Jiacheng admired him very much and invited him to join Changchun Chang many times. Jiang Industrial Group were all rejected by Ma Shimin.
What Ma Shimin didn't expect the most was that Hutchison Whampoa, which he thought Li Jiacheng had a good chance of taking over, was now replaced by Mr. Yang of the Imperial Group.
afternoon.
Ma Shimin just came out of the company.
I saw a red Bayer parked nearby.
A somewhat familiar young white woman got out of the car and waved to him.
"Should I call you Mr. Ma or Mr. Simon?" Kayla came over and smiled.
Just now.
When she sent Shen Bi back to Huifeng Bank, she came directly here to wait for Ma Shimin.
"Keira?"
In Ma Shimin's impression, he did meet Keira several times.
"Mr. Simon, it's me, inviting you to have a drink."
"No problem, I was just thinking of going out for a drink."
Ma Shimin's biggest hobby is drinking.
This may be related to his experience back then.
Having worked as a crew member, sailor, and mercenary, he spent most of his time drinking. Even when he went to work in Xiangjiang, he still couldn't quit.
However, it is really difficult to find a quiet bar in Xiangjiang where he likes to drink.
Ma Shimin and Kayla drove to a bar by the sea in nearby Victoria Harbor.
When the two came to the bar and the waitress brought the menu, Ma Shimin asked: "Kaila, are you still the account manager of Huifeng Securities Company?"
"No, I recently worked for Mr. Shen, the chairman."
Doing things for Shen Bi?
In Ma Shimin's opinion, it won't be long before Kayla will be promoted to a senior executive at the Huifeng Bank headquarters.
"Congratulations then."
"Mr. Simon, how are you doing at Jardine?"
"That's it."
Ma Shimin started from the lowest level at Jardine Matheson. Because he was white, he was deeply valued by Jardine's management. In the 1970s, he was sent by the company to study at a university in country M.
After returning to Xiangjiang, he served as an executive and director of many subsidiaries of Jardine Matheson.
However, it seems to be related to his previous work experience. He is used to being lazy and just hangs around like other white people.
Keira knew Ma Shimin's ability.
"I heard that Mr. Li from Changchun Industrial Group poached you?"
This was mentioned by Ma Shimin accidentally with Kayla last time.
"Yes. But, I'm not interested."
Maybe it's because Ma Shimin feels that he is white. Even if he really joins Changchun Industrial Group, how could Li Jiacheng trust him, a white man?
If that's the case, it's better to stay in Yihe and dawdle.
For so many years in Jardine, he has been preparing to start his own business and become his own boss after leaving Jardine.
"Why?"
"Because I am white." Ma Shimin said directly.
Kayla thought for a while and said, "Mr. Ma, I am very convinced of your ability. I think there is a place that is very suitable for you."
"It can't be Huifeng Bank, right?" Ma Shimin laughed.
If it was Huifeng Bank, then he would rather stay at Jardine He, which would be much more comfortable.
"no."
Huifeng Bank has a lot of talents, both white elites and Chinese elites want to work in Huifeng Bank.
Competition for senior executives at Huifeng Bank is also fierce.
"Kayla, which company are you talking about?"
"Imperial Group."
Imperial Group?
Ma Shimin was really surprised.
That imperial group that just swallowed up Wharf and Hutchison Whampoa?
"Kaila, aren't you working for Mr. Shen, the chairman of Huifeng Bank?"
"Yes, but I am relatively familiar with Mr. Yang of the Imperial Group. Now, Mr. Yang founded the Imperial Group and also acquired Wharf and Hutchison Whampoa. However, there are not many useful people around him, so I would like to recommend you to go Imperial Group has a better future than staying in Jardine now.”
Now Jardine Matheson is still the leader of the four major foreign banks in Hong Kong. Keira knows that Yang Ming's strength has far surpassed Jardine Matheson with the help of Empire Group, Wharf, and Hutchison Whampoa.
"Mr. Yang of the Imperial Group? That's not the same as Mr. Li of the Changchun Industrial Group!"
Ma Shimin said directly.
In his opinion, if he wanted to join the Imperial Group, it would be better to join the Changchun Industrial Group.
At least Mr. Li has told him many times and has been enthusiastically inviting him to join Changchun Industrial Group.
He has never even met Mr. Yang from the Imperial Group in real life.
"Mr. Simon, how can it be the same? How can Changchun Industrial Group compare with the Imperial Group today?" Kayla said directly.
At this time, the waiter brought over the wine they had just ordered.
Kayla picked up the wine glass and toasted with Ma Shimin.
"Mr. Simon, Mr. Yang is not short of talent now. He lacks a general who can really work for him. If you join the Empire Group, you will definitely be valued by Mr. Yang. Then won't your talent be brought into play?"
Ma Shimin didn't say anything, picked up the glass of wine and took another sip.
Kaira didn't persuade him again.
This time, I recommended Ma Shimin to Yang Ming, but Yang Ming probably didn't know.
If Ma Shimin is willing, then Kaira knows that she has made another contribution.
Half an hour later.
Ma Shimin picked up the wine glass and said, "Miss Kaira, thank you very much for this wonderful meal."
Kaira waved her hand, and the waitress of the bar came to settle the bill.
Kaira looked at Ma Shimin and said, "Mr. Simon, this opportunity is rare. If you miss it, it will be difficult. I can tell you that the strength of the Empire Group is far beyond your imagination."
"Kaira, thank you for your advice, I will consider it."
"This is the address of Mr. Yang's villa in Repulse Bay. If you are interested, you can visit Mr. Yang in person and say that I personally recommended you."
Kaira didn't stay any longer.
When Kayla left.
Ma Shimin was still sitting there, looking at the paper Kayla left behind.
Ma Shimin was really surprised. Kayla was working for Shen Yi, but now Kayla was poaching him for Mr. Yang of Empire Group.
What kind of charm does Mr. Yang of Empire Group have that is worth Kayla's work?
It seems that Mr. Yang of Empire Group is not an ordinary person.
The sea breeze from Victoria Harbour in the distance blew, and Ma Shimin suddenly woke up.
It seems that he really needs to visit Mr. Yang in person.
