Chapter 359: Hutchison Whampoa Affairs

Li Guangyu is concerned about the stock market and Tianyu investment transactions every day, and he has full authority to the CEOs of major groups to handle the affairs of Li's other groups.

On the morning of the 12th, Gan Qin came to the Tianyu Investment Department and said to Li Guangyu: "Li Sheng, Mr. Li Ka-shing just called and asked if you have time tomorrow morning, please come to Hutchison Whampoa, there are some things that need to be discussed with you." ”

Li Guangyu said: "You go and reply to Mr. Li Ka-shing, I will come over tomorrow morning." ”

Li Guangyu didn't know what Li Ka-shing specially invited him to do this time, usually he didn't ask about things over there, everything was up to him, this time he suddenly let himself go, I don't know what Hutchison Whampoa will do.

After receiving the reply, Li Ka-shing was thinking about the next development of Hutchison Whampoa, this time he wanted to replace the current helmsman of Hutchison Whampoa, Wei Li, and officially take control of Hutchison Whampoa.

After nearly two years, Li Ka-shing has become familiar with the affairs of Hutchison Whampoa, without Wei Li, he can still play, and Hutchison Whampoa should let his own people control it.

Tomorrow Hutchison Whampoa will hold a general meeting of shareholders to remove Willy from his position as chairman and chief executive officer of Hutchison Whampoa, and he believes that Lee will support him. With the combination of him and Li Guangyu, it is enough to make Wei Li leave this position.

At half past eight o'clock in the morning of the next day, Li Guangyu arrived at the office of Li Ka-shing in Hutchison Whampoa to see what he had to do today.

After Li Guangyu saw Li Ka-shing, he said to Li Ka-shing: "Uncle Li, do you have anything to do with asking me to come over this time? Don't all the board members on my side support your decision? You can just get him to approve of your decision." ”

Li Ka-shing said to Li Guangyu: "Guangyu, what about the director of the group, didn't Director Zhao Yu ask you to send him to Japan to help Zhaoji Group open up the market? He has a name in our group, and no one is present at every board meeting, so I don't invite you over this time, and this matter really can't be done." ”

Li Guangyu only remembered when he heard that after he transferred Li Xuelan back to serve as the president of Hengyu Supermarket Group, he did arrange for Zhao Yu to come here as a temporary director. Since this side has always been managed by Li Ka-shing, Li Guangyu did not ask about this matter, and he did not arrange new personnel to serve as directors.

Li Guangyu said: "Uncle Li, don't I trust you, anyway, sending someone to attend the meeting is also a decision to support you, it's the same whether you come or not, if you and the fourth uncle don't want me to send someone to your group, this situation won't happen." ”

Li Ka-shing also knew that Li Guangyu had a lot of things to do this year, and at the beginning of the year, he was busy controlling Wing Hang Bank, and then he was dealing with the problem of building his own bank, and he fought with the British-funded consortium, and he really didn't have much heart to ask Hutchison Whampoa's questions.

Li Ka-shing then proposed to Li Guangyu that he would formally become the chairman of the board of directors of the group, and Wei Li would be demoted to vice chairman, and at the same time continue to consult Li Guangyu on the matter of making Wei Li the president of the group.

As soon as Li Guangyu heard this, he knew that Li Ka-shing was probably already familiar with Hutchison Whampoa affairs and was ready to start taking over officially, and Li Guangyu had no opinion on this.

Li Guangyu said: "Uncle Li, I don't have any opinion, but after Wei Li was demoted to vice chairman, would he still be willing to serve as the president of the group?"

Li Ka-shing said with a smile: "Guangyu, I have communicated with Wei Li in this regard, he accepts the group's adjustment of his work, as long as there is your support on the board of directors this time, I believe there will be no problems this time." ”

Li Guangyu immediately said that he would support his decision, anyway, Li Guangyu himself has no intention of getting involved in the management of Hutchison Whampoa, let Li Ka-shing lead the rapid development, and he can reap more profits.

At this shareholders' meeting, there were the opinions of the first and second largest shareholders, and the opinions on Li Ka-shing's appointment as chairman of the board of directors of the group were quickly supported by the major shareholders.

After the meeting, Li Guangyu also went to the finance department, listened to the financial report of his station, and learned about the recent development of Hutchison Whampoa.

Li Guangyu is still satisfied with the development of Hutchison Whampoa, after Li Ka-shing became the owner, the group has achieved good income, although Li Guangyu has not yet made profits, but the market value of his shares in Hutchison Whampoa has risen a lot.

After telling the financial staff to continue to supervise the group's finances here, Li Guangyu came to Wei Li's office.

When Li Ka-shing first joined Hutchison Whampoa, Li Guangyu made a promise to Wei Li to lead the group to continue to develop, and after Li Ka-shing successfully took over the group, the Li Group welcomed him to join at any time. Now Li Ka-shing is obviously going to completely control Hutchison Whampoa, and I don't know if Wei Li is willing to leave Hutchison Whampoa and join the Lee Group.

After Li Guangyu entered Wei Li's office, he said to him: "Mr. Wei Li, do you still remember the promise I made to you, and I don't know what you have and thoughts?"

Wei Li now knows very well that his position in Hutchison Whampoa will only become more and more embarrassing, and I believe that it will not be long before his position as president will be revealed, until after Li Ka-shing talked to him, Wei Li is thinking about how he should go in the future.

The major groups on the Lee Group's side already had principals, and it was impossible for him to have the opportunity to lead the development of a group alone in the past, which made him hesitate, so he agreed with Li Ka-shing's opinion and temporarily took up the position of president in Hutchison Whampoa.

Wei Li said: "Mr. Li, there must not be a shortage of principals in your major groups under the Li family, I didn't play a big role in the past, and now there is still a position for me here in Hutchison Whampoa, and I have no plans to resign from my position here." ”

Seeing this, Li Guangyu no longer mentioned the invitation, he didn't expect Wei Li to still pin his hopes on Hutchison Whampoa, and he came to the Li Group. Although there is no position for him as the head of the group for the time being, with the expansion speed of the Li Group, will he be made to wait for a long time? Besides, even if the group gives it to him, it will take at least a year to get acquainted with it, and since he is unwilling, he will not be willing.

Li Guangyu said: "Mr. Willy, Hutchison Whampoa has been developing well under your leadership in recent years, and as a shareholder, I am very grateful for your contribution to the Group. In the future, I hope that Hutchison Whampoa will develop better and better under the leadership of Li Sheng and you. ”

Wei Li was a little disappointed when he saw that Li Guangyu was no longer invited, but he quickly put it aside, the biggest reason why he didn't want to go to the Li Group this time was that the leaders of the major groups under the Li Group were all Chinese. At most, people from other regions can serve as vice presidents of the group, whether it is the Bentley Group or the Star Hung Sports Group in the United States.

Just like the Hengyu Supermarket Group established this time, Chen Linwen brought by Li Xuelan, a person with half British ancestry, is more proficient than Zhao Xiaoyan, the vice chairman of the group, in business, but the Li Group still makes Zhao Xiaoyan the first vice president of the group.
