Chapter 253: Viscount Salisbury

……

After listening to Guo Shouyun's words, everyone in the conference room had different expressions. Subsidiary CEOs have been relatively calm, although at the subsidiary level, their power has declined. But at the head office level, the power in their hands has increased!

Zhang Lei, Li Yu, Ken Holray and others are relatively lost, because the original power in their hands has been diluted. But they haven't been in the company for long, and even Zhang Lei doesn't have the strength to fight Guo Shouyun!

“… GCA pursues a corporate culture of meritocracy, simplicity, efficiency, equal opportunity and partnership. So, in the future, 70% of each of your bonuses must be used to buy shares in the company. If you leave or are fired in the future, all the shares must be sold to GCA! The company will buy you at a 15% increase in market price!"

If you want to give full play to your subjective initiative, the best way is to let them become the owners of the company, which is the original intention of Guo Shouyun to implement the partnership system.

As for the culture of simplicity, it naturally corresponds to extravagance and bureaucracy, and all the companies that can achieve long-term success are all those that advocate simplicity and use reasonable systems to ensure the mobility of people within the enterprise.

Not to mention the priority of efficiency and equal opportunity, without which even the best talents would not emerge.

"Boss, everything else is fine, but isn't the 70% buying ratio too high?" Li Yu hesitated.

"If you have too much money in your hand, you can't help but spend it! Then the mansion and the car, the life of the dog and the horse comes. A person's energy is limited, and when you focus on these luxuries, your focus on the company will naturally decrease. As the senior leadership of the company, if you care less about the company, then the company's performance and profitability will naturally regress. This is clearly not what I wanted, and it was not the result that the company wanted. … So, if you think that enjoying life is higher than working, then you can resign from me now!" Guo Shouyun's tone was particularly resolute.

His words silenced the atmosphere in the conference room at the headquarters of Han Hua in Hong Kong on the other end of the phone. Everyone was silently thinking about and weighing the impact of Guo Shouyun's decision on themselves, as well as the true choice in their hearts.

"It seems that no one objects, so it's decided!" Guo Shouyun said.

In fact, this was not unexpected. When he chose Zhang Lei as the CEO of Hanhua Company, the latter was less than 30 years old, so he naturally would not recruit those elderly professional managers. On the contrary, they are all famous university graduates who are about the same as him, about 30 years old and have some experience in financial companies and management experience. As young people, their pursuit of ideals and careers is naturally stronger than that of the middle-aged and elderly who have achieved fame.

"By the way, Kevin, does Hanhua have a plan to commission a trainee this year?"

"Hong Kong doesn't, but Yangcheng Financial Vocational College hopes to sign a commission and trainee cooperation agreement with us! However, their students are uneven, and the level is too poor, so I refused!"

Zhang Kaiwen, who is the chief human resources officer of GCA, replied.

"If you refuse it before, you can refuse it. If there is a similar cooperation, you can consider agreeing to it. … We at GCA value the ability of our staff, not their academic qualifications. If they join the company and can bring profits to the company and have a work ethic that is above average, then they are the employees we need. Otherwise, even if he is a Ph.D. from Harvard Business School or Stanford Graduate School of Business, if he can't bring us benefits, then his value to us is equal to zero!"

"I understand, I will pay attention to this matter in the future!" Zhang Kaiwen replied.

"In the future, the absorption of new employees should focus on those who come from ordinary backgrounds, even poor, such people often have an extraordinary dedication to success, and under the same opportunity, they have a greater probability of success than ordinary people. And their success is the success of the company, and the success of the company is the success of everyone here. … You're all partners in the company, so don't let those who can grow your wealth run away. Otherwise, it's not a mistake, it's stupidity!

Guo Shouyun's words made the hearts of the people present feel heavy, and their thinking became heavy. Obviously, the boss in the UK has made it clear that anyone who goes against the will of the company, or his will, will be fired without mercy.

"Also, the funds in the Hanhua Fund before and now in the Mangzhong Fund, except for the $250 million in exchange for Country Garden's shares, the rest of the money should not be touched for the time being. ”

"Boss, is there a good chance?" Zhang Lei said curiously and excitedly.

In just half a year, he fully saw Guo Shouyun's talent in investment. This can simply not be described as a genius method, but a magical witchcraft immortal method.

"There is a chance, but how it needs to be carefully analyzed... Willing. ”

"BOSS!" replied as CFO Ken Halry.

"You use the assets I put in Hanhua Trust to mortgage financing in other banks, with a term of half a year, and the interest rate should not exceed 6%! From negotiation to the arrival of funds, it cannot exceed August 1!"

"So I have 40 days left?"

"Not bad. Can you do it?"

"Yes!"

Ken Halray nodded.

"Okay, that's all for today's meeting, who still has a problem?" Guo Shouyun said.

"Boss, can Hanhua enter the Western market in the future?" Zhang Lei suddenly asked.

"Of course, although Hanhua and Phoenix focus on the East and the West respectively, I have not defined an absolute business scope for you. If you feel the need, any market in the world can be involved. However, I hope that you will consider expanding outward while you have strengthened your market base first. In addition, the development of the Chinese market is far faster than you can imagine. Therefore, although the United States and even the Western market are dazzling, don't abandon the basics in the early stage!"

"Got it!"

After a brief chat about a few other questions, Guo Shouyun hung up the phone.

"Knock...!"

"Come in!"

The butler Old Ward pushed the door open and walked in, "Sir, the Marquis of Salisbury has an invitation from me!"

"Marquis of Salisbury?"

Guo Shouyun knows that now in England, with the promulgation of one nobility law after another, the title of nobility, which was a status and status symbol centuries ago, has now lost most of its charm. Some small business owners, academics, and some influential people in society can obtain the title of 'nobleman for life', or baron, if they wish. It is characterized by the fact that it cannot be hereditary. Many people even gave up their titles of nobility in order to enter politics.

But there is one title of nobility that is still precious even today, and that is hereditary nobility. Although the power is not as good as it used to be, it is still a status symbol and has a high social status. In the whole of England, there are nearly 700 lifetime nobles, but only 89 hereditary nobles!

And there are even fewer who can hold the position of marquis.

Looking at the beautifully packaged invitation in his hand, which was also branded with the family crest, he looked at it for a moment, "Ward, are you familiar with this Mr. Joseph Robert Cecil?"

Old Ward nodded, "Mr. Cecil is a member of the British House of Lords, and although he does not hold public office, he has a deep influence in British politics. In addition, he is a director of Shell Oil and the Royal Bank of Scotland!"

Guo Shouyun nodded, his knowledge of the name Salisbury was limited to that Robert Gascoigne Cecil, who had served as British Prime Minister three times in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, seized Burma, conquered Nigeria, Kenya and Uganda, launched the Boer War, and completely took South Africa, and maintained a 'glorious isolation policy' in Europe.

Because there are too many people who have written the history of the Republic of China, it is difficult for you not to remember it.

"June 22nd, 7pm, 1128 Troiss, Hertfordshire!"

Three days later, Guo Shouyun, accompanied by several bodyguards, followed the address posted on the invitation. There is no doubt that as an old aristocrat that has been passed down for hundreds of years, the Cecil family also has its own estate. And the scale is larger and older than the Bewen Manor bought by Guo Shouyun.

Handing over the invitation letter in his hand and passing the inspection of the doorman, Guo Shouyun walked into the banquet hall inside the main building of the manor under the guidance of the waiter.

The luxury and dazzling of the aristocratic banquets presented in the film and television dramas you can imagine is what Guo Shouyun sees in front of his eyes now. However, now he is no longer the 'Wuxia Amon' who has never seen the world at the beginning, and no matter how gorgeous his appearance is, it is just decoration.

After taking a glass of red wine from the waiter, he looked around the crowd, and after seeing that there was no one he was familiar with, Guo Shouyun did not go inside to join in the fun, but found an empty seat in the corner with a wine glass and sat down.

If it weren't for the charity dinner, and the fact that it was hard to refuse Joseph Robert Cecil, an old nobleman with great influence in England, he really didn't want to come. How good it is to have time to spend time with your wife and children at home. Oh, by the way, he doesn't have any kids yet. And, of course, soon. Guo Shouyun is looking forward to this.

Guo Shouyun, who drank silently, originally thought that no one would come to talk to him, after all, his influence was more in the United States than in the United Kingdom. But he was wrong, with the development of information in modern society and the close ties between Britain and the United States, when he was invited, it had already shown that he was not an unknown person in England.

"Mr. Guo, hello!"

"Hello!"

Looking at the middle-aged Chinese man who walked in front of him with a wine glass, Guo Shouyun was quite unfamiliar, but out of politeness, he stood up quickly.
