Chapter 44: Mr. Henry's Plan (4)
PS: Thank you very much!
The first step of the "confidant route" was successfully taken. Then, Henry contacted the London side. After several turnovers, I finally got in touch with the successful book brokerage company.
I found out about the football novel that Andrew wrote back then. To date, no version of the novel has been authorized to be published in Hong Kong in any language.
After receiving this good news, Henry couldn't help but sigh: God really help me!
Such a good opportunity must be seized immediately. Henry immediately negotiated with Success Book Agency on the phone about the licensing of Andrew's football novel in Hong Kong.
Negotiations to authorize the release of Andrew's football novel are progressing very well. In the end, Henry won the 20-year licensing of the Chinese rights to two football novels written by Andrew in Hong Kong for 200,000 pounds in his own name.
Andrew's 2 football novels, in the small Hong Kong area of Chinese rights, 20 years of licensing, can get 200,000 pounds. For a successful book agency, this was a complete bonus.
For Henry, he personally spent 200,000 pounds to buy the Chinese rights to two football novels written by Andrew in Hong Kong. It's quite worth it.
Whether or not there will be money in the distribution of novels is not something worth thinking about. Take the opportunity into your own hands, and then, looking for an opportunity, propose to Ms. Catherine:
With 20 years of Chinese copyright in Hong Kong and Ms. Catherine's "Lookout" magazine, published and distributed in Hong Kong, Andrew's football novels written that year. It's the most critical question.
In Henry's experience, a woman's mind is quite emotional. A woman in love, for Ailang's past legendary experience, sings praises and leaves a name in Xiangjiang, which is definitely willing to promote.
This was indeed a good opportunity to do what Ms. Catherine did. Henry had to sigh, Peter's thinking is indeed extraordinary!
In the afternoon, Henry contacted Andrew to come to his office again.
Henry reported to Andrew about the idea of waiving subscription fees as a benefit to his company's employees in the planning of the fund offering.
As for what I think of, this is undoubtedly the measure of caring for employees and gathering centripetal force in the corporate culture that Andrew once mentioned. But this association, Henry clumsily did not say.
This is the summary of Henry's years of experience: subordinate employees can have relevant creative proposals.
But take into account that you are standing in the position of your subordinates. As a subordinate, you can't start to speak out about the results of considering the overall problem.
In front of the boss, show off your wisdom too much. In general, the ending is not expected to be too rosy.
This kind of overall program is still considered by the boss, and after he is aware of it, he will refine and publish it as an overall spiritual program. Satisfy the pride of your boss!
Sure enough, Andrew listened to Henry's report on the benefits of waiving subscription fees in the investment fund offering plan as a benefit to the employees of his own company.
Andrew was intrigued by this proposal. At the same time, he also agrees with Henry's idea of preferential benefits for his own company's employees.
Andrew couldn't help but think that this is undoubtedly the concrete embodiment of the measures he once put forward in the corporate culture of caring for employees and gathering centripetal force!
It seems that in terms of actual company management, Henry is still very capable. Entrust the daily management of the company to him, and you can rest assured.
However, I still have to remind Henry. Let him grasp his intentions. He came up with the idea of discounting the benefits of his company's employees. It's not just a simple perk.
Rather, it is necessary to take this kind of care for employees and gather centripetal force as a concrete embodiment of the spirit of corporate culture, and publicize it in the subordinate companies in an extensive and in-depth manner.
Andrew then reminded Henry of the deep connotation of this idea of preferential welfare for his company's employees. And asked him, at a deep level, extensively, to publicize and announce it in the subordinate companies.
Andrew also increased the preferential benefits for his company's employees in the sale of investment funds, and waived the fees for fund redemption. And the scope of the company that has extended the preferential benefits for employees to all the companies under his name. It also includes the "Lookout" magazine.
In addition, Andrew has his own team of private think tanks to issue notices in his name to put investment funds on sale and preferential benefits for his company's employees. As an exemplary example of corporate culture, it is implemented among other companies under his name.
Seeing that Andrew's big move was triggered because of his proposal, Henry understood that his proposal was very appetizing to Andrew. Obviously, this move of his own is the right move.
This made Henry have a lot of confidence in the future plan.
Back at the securities company, Henry informed Peter of the good news. And arrange Peter, you can start preparing for the operation, small-scale pre-sale activities.
Among the investors, find some influential predator investors to cooperate with the pre-sale activities. This is just a minor problem for Henry, who has controlled Victory Securities for many years.
As for contacting the news and financial media, as well as TV stations, arrange for follow-up articles and manuscripts. With Henry's connections in Hong Kong for so many years, it is not difficult to spend a little more money and do a good job in the media.
The specific division of labor is as follows: within a few days of waiting for the approval of the fund, Henry will contact the predator investors and the media to discuss the general interests. The specific details of the steps will be negotiated by Peter with the predator investors and the media.
However, tomorrow afternoon, I will go to the "Lookout" magazine to discuss the content of the investment and financial management section and the specific compilation matters. Henry was still treated as a first-class affair.
Counsel with Peter. Tomorrow, Henry will take Peter and a liaison to the Lookout magazine to meet with Mrs. Catherine.
As a doer, Henry has always been busy. Andrew, as the boss, took care of the company's urgent affairs and approved it, but he had nothing to do.
Thinking of coming to Hong Kong this time, I haven't contacted my friend Shen Bi yet. So I picked up the phone and called to HSBC, Shen Bi's office.
When he received Andrew's call, Shen Bi was still worried. Did Andrew make a complaining call because of the leakage of futures trading information from HSBC at the end of last year?
On the phone, the two chatted politely back and forth. Shen Bi didn't hear it from Andrew's tone, and there was a tone of complaining.
Shen Bi couldn't help but relax. However, it is quite necessary to explain the reason and make a small reparation. On the phone, he agreed with Andrew to have a banquet at a private club in Central in the evening.
and joked and gossiped about setting up an ambush, saying that it was better to bring a female companion with him. What Shen Bi didn't expect was that Andrew actually agreed, saying that he would bring his female companion Catherine to the banquet together.
"Oh, you two are done!" Shen Bi said casually in surprise.
Andrew felt it, Shen Bi's surprised tone, afraid that Shen Bi would not stop gossiping on the phone, so he quickly responded: "Well! Let's talk about it in detail in the evening!" Then he said, goodbye, and hung up the phone.
Shen Bi was still holding the microphone in his hand, listening to the blind sound of the phone, he couldn't help but be stunned for a while: "Well, what's the situation?"
recalled the conversation with Andrew just now, and figured out the reason for Andrew's strange behavior. I'm embarrassed, but it's also a good thing to be thankful for, and it can dilute some of Andrew's dissatisfaction.
hung up Shen Bi's phone. Andrew then contacted Catherine and explained the reason to Catherine, inviting her to join him at Shen Bi's banquet in the evening.
Catherine happily agreed to Andrew's invitation. For Andrew to be able to take her to a good friend's banquet together. It shows that Andrew has decided to confess Catherine's intimacy with him in his close private circle of friends.
At Shen Bi's private banquet in the evening, Shen Bi first expressed his blessings to the two. After a dinner party, Catherine helped prepare the tea set.
Shen Bi explained to Andrew that at the end of last year, HSBC leaked futures trading information and apologized.
After accepting Shen Bi's apology, Andrew also expressed his views on this matter.
For HSBC's leakage, the specific personnel of futures trading information still need to be transferred out of the fund company. It is hoped that HSBC will strengthen the confidentiality system for transaction information.
Shen Bi fully accepted Andrew's proposal and said that he would implement it immediately.
Shen Bi also knows that the leakage of transaction information by HSBC this time is a very serious and taboo incident in the investment world.
Andrew can see his face and don't care.
However, his proposal must be put into place. This is the basis that will be involved and affect the continuation of mutual cooperation.
This unpleasant thing just passed. Catherine helped prepare a good tea and served on the tea table. The three of them sat down and chatted about things in the Hong Kong market.
In the chat, Andrew talked about opening overseas trading companies in Hong Kong and Liverpool. And ask Shen Bi to help introduce some talents in international trade.
