Chapter 209 Joined the Heung Kong Telephone Group
Early the next morning, the news about Lee's Group and Jardine Matheson Group made headlines in major newspapers, and the relevant comments varied.
Xiangyu Daily naturally sang praises for its boss, commenting that the acquisition was another victory for the Li Group, and it directly won the Xiangjiang Telephone Group, which originally belonged to Jardine Matheson, in a head-to-head duel with Jardine, which had never been done before. Even the Hutchison Whampoa snapped up by Mr. Li Ka-shing last year was only a surprise attack from behind, and it was only with the help of HSBC that it succeeded, and it did not shake the strength of the British-funded consortium.
Sing Tao Daily commented: "In the past few days, the competition between the Li Group and the Jardine Group for the two groups of Heung Kong Electric Light and Heung Kong Telephone has shown all walks of life in Hong Kong what it means to be wealthy. ”
"However, in this acquisition, both Jardine Matheson and Lee's Group have become losers, they have spent one-third more than the current market value of the group, obtained its controlling stake, and directly lost billions of Hong Kong dollars, and these money went into the pockets of those previous shareholders. They have to thank the Li Group for intervening, otherwise how could they make such a high profit. ”
......
At 9 o'clock in the morning, Li Guangyu, Li Xuemei, Zhou Xiaoning and Qin Yu, vice president of Xingguang Real Estate Group, came to Xiangjiang Telephone Group, and today Li's Group will officially become the owner of Xiangjiang Telephone Group.
When Li Guangyu and others came to the headquarters of the Heung Kong Telephone Group, they were greeted by a general manager of the group named Zhao Qihui.
Zhao Qihui said, "Li Sheng, welcome to your arrival, other high-level officials are waiting for you in the conference room." Flash"
Li Guangyu felt that the telephone group was going to give him an ugly look, and there was no top-level management of the group who came to greet him, which was very unfriendly.
Li Guangyu and his entourage came to the group conference room under the leadership of Zhao Qihui, and when they saw these high-level executives present, they understood why these top levels did not come to greet them, the president, vice president, and directors of major departments of the group were all British, and they probably did not plan to do anything under him.
Mike Willetts, CEO of Heung Kong Telephone Group, said after Li Guangyu came in, "Mr. Li, since you are here, let's start handing over the work, you can take over the group as soon as possible, and we should return to Jardine as soon as possible." ”
Li Guangyu looked at these high-level executives present, and said with a smile, "It seems that everyone is very anxious, have you all arranged work for you this time?"
Mike Willitz said, "Mr. Li, this doesn't bother you to worry about, we have many groups under the Jardine Matheson Group, and we have our own place to work. ”
Li Guangyu felt that Niu Bijian was also ruthless enough, and was ready to take back the senior management of the group, not to leave Li Guangyu with useful talents, and to see if the Li Group had the ability to manage the telephone group well.
Li Guangyu said, "Mr. Wilitz, Zhou Xiaoning is now the group's chief financial officer, let the former chief financial officer hand over the work with him." As for the individual seats here, if you are going back to the Jardine Group, please make a registration now, and I will have someone hand over the work to you immediately. ”
After Li Guangyu finished speaking, more than a dozen high-level executives led by Mike Willitz got up and came to Li Xuemei to register, including several vice presidents, directors of the human resources department, general managers of the administration department, directors of the finance department, and several department executives. Flash Dance
Li Guangyu didn't care about the British, but looked at the Xiangjiang executives who were leaving, the British left even if they left, but I didn't expect these people to go back to Jardine, Li Guangyu was a little speechless.
After Mike Willitz and others signed out of the conference room, Li Guangyu announced, "From now on, Mr. Qin Yu will assume the position of chairman of the board of directors and chief executive officer of the group." Zhou Xiaoning is temporarily responsible for the financial work of the Group, and after the Group's financial affairs are straightened out, we will appoint the Group's Chief Financial Officer. ”
Subsequently, Li Guangyu learned about the positions held by these remaining senior executives, and after some consideration, Li Guangyu said, "Zhao Qihui, general manager of the technical department, will assume the position of director and vice president of the board of directors of the group. ”
Zhao Qihui was very happy, but he didn't expect that Li Guangyu had just taken over the group, and he was promoted to vice president of the group, and sighed that fortunately he did not return to Jardine Matheson like some high-level executives, and there was no such a high position there.
Zhao Qihui got up and said, "Li Sheng, thank you for your trust in me, I will definitely cooperate with President Qin Yu's work and lead the stable and good development of the telephone group." ”
After Zhao Qihui sat down, Li Guangyu continued: "Mr. Zhou Libin, Deputy Director of Human Resources, has assumed the position of Director of the Board of Directors of the Group and has taken over as its Director. ”
After Zhou Libin was going to Jardine Matheson, he knew that his opportunity had come, and sure enough, Li Guangyu asked him to take over the position of director, and Zhou Libin immediately got up to thank him.
Subsequently, Li Guangyu announced that Sultani of the Administration Department was appointed as the director of the board of directors of the group and the general manager of the administration department, Wu Xinzhou was appointed as the manager of the group's safety and security department, and Wang Jing of the finance department was appointed as the deputy financial director.
Li Guangyu said, "We are the new telephone group of Li's Group, and there are a lot of high-level departures, and I hope that everyone will complete the handover of the work as soon as possible under the leadership of President Qin Yu, so that the group can maintain a smooth transition and not affect the lives of the citizens." ”
Qin Yu immediately said, "Li Sheng, don't worry, we will complete the handover work with the outgoing senior management as soon as possible and devote ourselves to the operation of the group, so as not to have an impact on the use of the telephone of the citizens of Xiangjiang because of our Li Group." ”
Li Guangyu believes that Qin Yu's ability to deal with these problems well, this has held positions in many groups under the Li Group, and is very experienced in management, as for specific technical problems, it can be handed over to Vice President Zhao Qihui to deal with, Li Guangyu let Zhao Qihui serve as the vice president of the group, because Zhao Qihui has served as the general manager of the technical department in the group for 4 years.
Li Guangyu said, "Our telephone group as an industry that serves the public, we must be enthusiastic about the public in our future work, and the things that the citizens react to must be dealt with in a timely manner because of the responsibility of our group, and if it has nothing to do with our group, we must also patiently explain to the public." ”
Qin Yu said, "Li Sheng, I will convey your requirements to every employee of the group and strictly follow your requirements." ”
After Li Guangyu finished speaking, Li Xuemei said: "After the completion of the handover of your senior management, in addition to maintaining the stable operation of the group, we are now launching a compulsory acquisition in the stock market, and our Heung Kong Telephone Group will be delisted from the Heung Kong Stock Exchange and become a wholly-owned holding group under the Li Group. ”
These high-level executives know that Li Guangyu's shares in the group are more than 95, and this time the Li Group has spent a lot of money and obviously does not plan to give up the shares again, and it is inevitable to start delisting.
Qin Yu said, "Ms. Li, we will contact Tianyu Investment Company after the meeting to make various preparations for the delisting of our group. ”
......
After the meeting, Li Guangyu, Li Xuemei and others came to the president's office of the group, and now Mike Willitz is waiting for them to come over, and he can hand over and leave.
After Qin Yu and Mike Willitz handed over, Li Guangyu said, "Mr. Willitz, I hope to see you again next time in such a situation." ”
Mike Willitz said, "Li Sheng, I'm afraid your wish will not come true, our Jardine Group will not give you such a chance again, Li Sheng is still optimistic about your Li Group, in case someone buys your Li Group's company, it will not be good." ”
Li Guangyu is not worried about his group at all, or they are not listed, the only two listed, Jiayi Group and Kowloon Bus, are more than 70 shares, Li Guangyu is not afraid of others to rush to buy.
Li Guangyu said: "We welcome Jardine Matheson Group to invest in our group, but I don't know if Jardine Matheson has the ability." ”
Mike Willitz did not discuss this topic with Li Guangyu, and directly said goodbye to Li Guangyu and others.
