Chapter 172: The Crazy Stock Market
Bao Zixuan's lack of excitement does not mean that the reporters are not excited, it does not mean that the employees of Hutchison are not excited, and it does not mean that the existing shareholders of Hutchison are not excited. They are all beneficiaries of this wave of acquisitions.
The newspaper staff was excited because today was a big hit, and even Hu Xian had to admit that there was no shortage of content in tomorrow's report. However, for Sing Tao Daily, it is not only to reassure customers, but also to reassure people's hearts. Now employees have a lot of psychological fluctuations, if they are not soothed. Then the newspaper will face a serious labor shortage, and the idea of quitting is already felt in the hearts of employees, which is a very dangerous thing. At this time, she was also thinking about whether it was right to offend HSBC and Heiyun, and if it was not handled well, the newspaper would probably go out of business.
Hutchison employees are excited because they are now being acquired by Bao Zixuan, the most generous owner in Heung Kong. Heiyun Group's employee benefits in Xiangjiang are the envy of everyone, and it will be a perfect thing if you can catch up with Heiyun's employee benefits. Even if there is half the treatment of black clouds, it is much stronger than now.
Moreover, Bao Zixuan is the richest man in Xiangjiang, and he is worried that he will not have a good life with such a boss in the future. So now Hutchison employees are gearing up, waiting for the call of the new boss. Of course, there are exceptions, and that is the management team headed by Methodist. They don't know Bao Zixuan's personality, they don't know the style of the new boss, and they have some worries about their future.
Shareholders are excited to think that tomorrow the stock market will open and yellow stocks will rise sharply, that's for sure. After all, when Heiyun was not listed, Hutchison became the only listed company in Bao Zixuan, and everyone could always make a fortune with this richest man.
After the completion of the acquisition, the Black Cloud Headquarters had sent a fax to Hutchison, and Bao Zixuan returned to the Hutchison headquarters the next day to inspect. Requiring Wei Li and other managers to report on Hutchison's operation is a very normal thing for the controlling shareholder.
Wei Li knew that Bao Zixuan was born in science and engineering, and he must not like to play false. So I only arranged for myself and the secretary to wait for Bao Zixuan in the hall on the first floor. It was a deliberate decision, and it was a gamble, but he trusted his own judgment.
The next morning, after eating breakfast, Bao Zixuan drove towards the Hutchison headquarters, and yesterday he had already said that he would go to the Hutchison headquarters to inspect and understand the company's operations.
Coming to the Hutchison Headquarters Building in Central, Bao Zixuan knew that Hutchison was not in a very good situation now. Otherwise, it would have been acquired a long time ago, and it would not have been his turn, even now this headquarters building has been mortgaged to HSBC. At this time, Hutchison's foreign debt is nearly 3 billion Hong Kong dollars, although it is not outrageous for a company with a market value of 6 billion, but it is also on the verge of danger. If you are not careful, you may be doomed.
After Bao Zixuan walked into the Hutchison Building, he saw a middle-aged Englishman watching in the hall. After seeing Bao Zixuan coming, he immediately walked to the front and said, "Bao Sheng, hello." I am the CEO of Hutchison Whampoa. Nice to meet you. ”
Bao Zixuan didn't expect Wei Li to wait for him in the company hall, it seems that this Englishman is still a smart person who knows how to advance and retreat.
Bao Zixuan: "Are you alone! What about the other managers!"
Wei Li didn't know if Bao Zixuan was a little angry when he asked this, after all, the greeting team was a little shabby. However, it suddenly occurred to me that Bao Zixuan was not a high-profile person, so it may be a big temptation.
At this time, Wei Li could only reply according to his own thoughts: "All the management is doing their job, after all, the company needs to operate. I am the only one waiting for you because I am your tour guide and accompany you to visit all departments of the company. ”
When Bao Zixuan heard this, he agreed with Wei Li's idea, don't companies need to engage in those vain brains. As long as you do your job well, you are worthy of the boss, and everything else is not very important.
Bao Zixuan: "President Methodist is right, that's what enterprises are all about. Don't engage in those fictitious things, it's pointless. Now I'm starting to have a heart for you and Huang. ”
Wei Li knew that he had made the right bet, and it seemed that Bao Zixuan really thought the same as he thought. This may be a common problem among science and engineering men all over the world, who are low-key, more practical and do not like to be too public.
In fact, this is also something that Bao Zixuan can't do, and now there are no talents in the entire Heiyun Group at all. If it weren't for Welter, then Hutchison would not have the right people to manage it now. There are not many local talents in Hong Kong, and the economic development is extremely fast, so that people with a little ability can either start a business or work in other large companies. Heiyun Group pays more attention to the recruitment of science and engineering talents, and the recruitment is basically in Europe, America and RB. The recruitment scope of local universities in Hong Kong is very small, which makes it extremely lacking in enterprise management talents.
Wei Li: "Next, I will take Bao Sheng to various departments to have a look, so that you can have a simple understanding of Hutchison Whampoa, so that you can guide the work in the future." ”
Bao Zixuan followed Wei Li and began to walk around the headquarters of Hutchison Whampoa, at the same time. As soon as the Hong Kong stock market opened today, the stock of Hutchison Whampoa Company rose like a rocket.
It has grown from 15 Hong Kong dollars at the opening price to 30 Hong Kong dollars in less than two hours. And the momentum has not stopped, and now everyone in Xiangjiang is optimistic about the management of Hutchison Whampoa by the richest man in Bao. It can be said that Bao Zixuan has earned 3 billion Hong Kong dollars in 2 hours, and the rise in the stock market is not over yet.
Watching the stock rise, Li Chaoren was painful and happy, but he owned nearly 10% of the shares of Hutchison Whampoa. Although most of them are purchased with HSBC loans. It's just that in a short period of time, there has been a profit of 600 million Hong Kong dollars on the books, and it stands to reason that it should be very satisfied. However, Li Chaoren originally bought the shares in order to get a controlling stake in Hutchison, and now no matter how much money he makes, he can't satisfy his determination to run his own company, and sometimes making money is not so important, mainly depends on whether the goal you want to achieve is completed.
It's not just Li Chaoren, but now Miyamoto Hat and Yokoi Junpei are also very happy. Especially Miyamoto's hat, who is not yet married to the young man, already holds 1.2 million shares of Hutchison Whampoa. It can be said that after each salary, in addition to the necessary living expenses, all the shares of Hutchison Whampoa Company are invested. As a result, Miyamoto's assets have now doubled. has a net worth of 30 million Hong Kong dollars.
This is very rare for a RB guy who is less than 30 years old, if he did not come to Xiangjiang with the president, it is estimated that he is still a small designer of RB, it can be said that after coming to Xiangjiang, he will gain fame and fortune, only do a good job, and now he is very satisfied with his life.
Now the overall market of the Xiangjiang stock market itself is an upward trend, and now the richest man in Bao has entered Hutchison Whampoa. It is a shot in the arm for this century-old enterprise. In the future, as long as Heiyun Group leaks a little business and hands it over to Hutchison, then the company will not lose.
After Bao Zixuan learned about the overall operation of Hutchison, the salary structure, the business scope of the branch and the number of employees, he thought about whether to reform it, and the current Hutchison is really a little bloated. There are more than 150 branches, many of which are not profitable, and there are no prospects for future development. Whether it is necessary to retain such an enterprise, it seems that there is still a good consideration. However, at present, he has not changed the grass and trees of Hutchison, and wants to make a smooth transition of the company, and then make a decision after he returns from the United States, and now he does not have that effort.
Shareholders don't have the idea of Bao Zixuan, now for them. There must be some money to be made by being able to buy Hutchison shares, especially Black Cloud employees, many game developers who have followed Miyamoto Hat to buy Hutchison shares for a long time are increasing their holdings.
As a direct consequence, Hutchison's shares had reached $42.88 per share by the end of the afternoon. This is a very auspicious number, which is more than double the opening time. Hutchison's market value has reached more than 17 billion Hong Kong dollars, and Bao Zixuan has earned more than 6 billion Hong Kong dollars in one day, no wonder many people like to go public. The money comes quickly, and the value grows faster.
On this day, the people who invested money in Hutchison Whampoa returned with a full load, and the people who bought Hutchison shares left the Hong Kong Stock Exchange with a smile. This is the charm of the stock market, no wonder everyone still squeezes their heads into it knowing that there is a risk.
