Annabelle Clubhouse, 44 Berkeley Square, London, United Kingdom.

Loud music flowed freely on the first floor of the clubhouse, where an elderly English man and a Chinese woman sat opposite each other at a casual table by the window in the dark, silent salon on the third floor of the clubhouse.

The latte was already cold on the light-colored plaid tablecloth of Sulange, and a small soft glow from the small LED lamp on the side of the table covered the arms of the two of them.

Niu Bijian looked at the employment contract in his hand and was silent for twenty minutes.

Since being swept away by the Jardine Matheson consortium six years ago, he has returned to the UK and paid little attention to the news in Hong Kong.

Although he has repeatedly claimed that Jardine Matheson bought Hong Kong Telephone and Hong Kong Electric and borrowed money to build the Exchange Square project because he firmly believed that Hong Kong's future would embark on the road of prosperity, it is a pity that the British-owned newspapers regarded his inner words as an excuse to shirk Jardine's losses, while the Chinese-funded newspapers regarded it as a wail after the defeat of the colonialists.

After losing his position at Jardine Matheson Taipan (Note 1), he not only achieved Li Ka-shing's prestige in Hong Kong shopping malls, but also lost many positions in the HSBC banking industry one after another, leaving almost no place in the Hong Kong business community, so he had to leave Hong Kong, where he had worked for 30 years, and return to the United Kingdom to seek employment.

Niu Bijian raised his head, stared at the capable Chinese woman sitting across from him, and asked, "Frankly, I don't have a good reputation in the Hong Kong business community, and in Hong Kong, excellent management talents abound. ”

Shaking the contract in his hand, Niu Bijian continued: "With this contract, I bet. I was really curious that this company could choose from one of the top Taipan in Hong Kong. Why me?"

"Sir New....... Li Liwei said.

"No, no, Miss Li, what I received in '82 was only the Order of the Imperial Officer, and I did not have the right to be knighted. Niu Bijian corrected.

Li Liwei shrugged her shoulders and said, "In the eyes of us Americans, you are already a knight, and you can be called a knight." ”

Although the woman in front of Niu Bijian is dark-eyed, she is an authentic Chinese. However, thinking that it is no different from the real Americans, because the United States once fought with Britain and led the United States to enact legislation prohibiting its citizens from accepting foreign honorary titles of nobility, so in the eyes of ignorant Americans, as long as they received the knighthood of the British Empire, they were all given the title of knighthood.

"Sir New, I don't think that's the point, I think personally. You'll only get official certification from that big empire a little later. Like ordinary Americans, Li Liwei made no secret of what she thought was a decrepit attitude towards British officials.

Niu Bijian had no choice but to smile helplessly and motioned for Li Liwei to continue.

"Your family has been in the service of Jardine Matheson since the thirties, fifty years after you were forced to leave. It's fair to say that an understanding of the Jardine Matheson Group is in your veins. ”

Since 1954, Sir New has worked as the lowest delivery man in Jardine Matheson in Hong Kong, Taiwan, the United Kingdom, Malaysia, Australia, the United States and other branches of Jardine Matheson, and because of its excellent performance, in 197o, if it were not for the Caesarke family, the majority shareholder of Jardine Matheson, would have become the chairman of Jardine Matheson. ”

Li Liwei said that in 197o, the personnel changes of the Jardine Group. The Caesars family, the largest shareholders of Jardine Matheson, insisted on supporting Henry Caesarke, a member of the family who was then the senior managing director of Jardine Matheson, as the top leader of Jardine Matheson. And won the support of the shareholders in London, and finally pressed the support of the shareholders in the Far East under him, and became the chairman of Jardine Matheson, and obtained the decision-making power of the entire Jardine Matheson system.

Although the Keesars family insisted on going their own way for only three years, and three years later Henry Keesark resigned due to poor performance, and Sir New took over as chairman of Jardine Matheson, but it is not polite to say that Sir New has already laid the foundation for his future gloomy resignation while gaining the decision-making power of Jardine Matheson. Li Liwei's words were unusually straightforward.

Born in 1934 in Tianjin, China, the biggest disagreement between the Jardine family and the Caesars family, the largest shareholder of the Jardine family, is that the future of Jardine Matheson is in Hong Kong or even in China, and the Caesarke family is resentful of confiscating nearly 60 million pounds of Jardine Matheson's assets in China when the republic was founded, and has an extremely hostile attitude towards the republic that implements the socialist system.

The Kaisersques insisted that the future of Jardine Matheson was anywhere on the planet except China, even the South Pole.

It is precisely because of this that the Jardine Matheson Hong Kong exhibition plan implemented by Niu Bijian after taking office has been greatly hindered, and the Caesars family has used its status as a major shareholder to strictly intervene in the direction of Jardine Matheson's funds.

Jardine Matheson's investments in South Africa's mining industry, sugar mills in the Philippines, oil in the Middle East, and real estate in the United States are all the result of the Caesars family's unanimous efforts with its London shareholders.

It was this extremely fierce power struggle within Jardine Matheson that led to the long front of Jardine Matheson, the dispersion of funds, and the strict drag on the implementation of the Hong Kong-focused exhibition plan implemented by Niu Bijian.

Hong Kong Telephone, Hong Kong Electric, China Gas, Wharf and Hong Kong Container Terminal, all of which were acquired by a Chinese consortium in the early 80s and expanded in the future, were all part of the Jardine Matheson family at that time, and they were also the layout of Nubikin for the future of Jardine Matheson.

It can be said that if the Caesars family had not made trouble and acted in accordance with the exhibition plan formulated by Niu Bijian for Yi, there would have been no chance and room for the rise of the Li people in Hong Kong.

Li Liwei first made the inside story of Niu Bijian's disgraceful departure from Jardine Matheson clear, and then said: "Sir New left Hong Kong because he told the media that he loved Hong Kong deeply, although because Sir New chose to return to the United Kingdom to work, the Hong Kong Island media were more skeptical of Sir New's words, but I personally believe it." ”

"Our company is fully aware that the defeat of Jardine Matheson in Hong Kong is not Sir New's fault, and has nothing to do with Sir New's commercial prowess. ”

Niu Bijian gently patted the maple table in front of him, with an extremely relaxed look on his face, it was obvious that Li Liwei's words had gone to Niu Bijian's heart.

"Our company, if I remember correctly, Miss Li should be working for the Hong Kong branch of Korn Ferry?" Niu Bijian was keenly aware of the incongruity in Li Liwei's words.

Korn Ferry is the most well-known and largest executive search company in Europe and the United States, the company adheres to the concept of "people who don't know us, never need to know, we only find jobs for people who never worry about work", and only serves the best talents, looking for suitable managers and technical talents for large and medium-sized enterprises around the world.

At the beginning, Liang Yuan was able to find Zhou Yuanhang through Guò Korn Ferry International to contact the media, but Korn Ferry International's fees were extremely high, and generally charged 2o%-3o% of the annual salary of the hired executives to enterprises in need of talents as intermediary service fees, and Liang Yuan paid millions of dollars to Korn Ferry when he poached Zhou Yuanhang.

"Before coming to the UK, I had been promoted to senior partner in the Hong Kong branch of Korn Ferry and I was the one who had the decision-making and management power to make decisions on the 4o% shares, and the United Trust Company that hired Sir Nurs. Li Liwei explained the origin of our name succinctly.

In Yuanjia's future planning, COMAC will recruit hundreds of aviation industry veterans from the United States to build the group's technical and management framework, and in the future, Gangji will not stop introducing talents.

In the face of this situation, Liang Yuan simply invested in the best headhunting company on the planet, saving costs and serving the long-term interests of the group.

Of course, with Korn Ferry's strong position in the headhunting industry, it is impossible to share equity with other partners, but Liang Yuan's background in the Republic of China has played a decisive factor, as the Republic of China as the most abundant human resources on the planet, as early as 1978, Korn Ferry had plans to enter the Big 6, but unfortunately it was blocked by the central policy in Hong Kong, and it was not allowed to enter for more than ten years.

When Qi Lianshan came to the door of Korn Ferry Hong Kong Branch, made his identity clear, and made a request for capital injection into Korn Ferry Hong Kong Branch, it only took 30 minutes for Korn Ferry to figure out who Qi Lianshan was.

Although I don't know the true background of Qi Lianshan in the Republic, through the Grumman Company of the United States, Korn Ferry still knows that this Hong Kong man who proposed to invest in the capital single-handedly operated the F14 fighter jet into China a year ago.

After Korn Ferry found out the truth of the matter, it was completely stunned by the pie falling from the sky, and immediately sent senior directors to Hong Kong by special plane to discuss with Qilianshan about entering the Big 6.

With Liang Yuan's cunning, how can he not see the deep meaning of the central government's blocking of Guanghui International from the country, the current republic is really extremely poor, once the country is opened, it is easy to become an intellectual vassal of the West, and become a production area of basic talents, after all, it is human nature for people to go to high places.

For the entry into the mainland Qilianshan push 625, in addition to looking forward to the bright future of the slightest exact commitment, since the request for capital always has to bring a little sweetness, Qi Lianshan turned out the incomparably huge personnel plan of COMAC, hundreds of senior technical management personnel changes, headhunting fees worth tens of millions of dollars, this kind of large order is absolutely unprecedented in the headhunting industry.

In the end, after arduous negotiations, Qi Lianshan's wish was fulfilled, and after signing a three-year cooperation agreement with Korn Ferry in senior human resource management on behalf of COMAC, he invested US$490 million to acquire a 4O% stake in Korn Ferry's Hong Kong branch.
