Chapter 362, The Hong Kong Electric Company

South Horizons in the southeast of Hong Kong Island, about three kilometres further southeast from Lamma Island, is home to the Hongkong Electric Company. www.biquge.info Of course, the power plant is built on Lamma Island further southeast, and the headquarters building and the multi-storey car park building stand on South Horizons.

The scenery is pleasant, and the company building is surrounded by a verdant greenery, and the outer ring is surrounded by turquoise waters. There is no doubt that the houses built here at this time will soon be demolished and converted into high-quality high-rise residential homes, but it is not yet timely.

It's around 8 a.m., one of the busiest times of the day, with a large number of office workers taking the subway and buses to get to work, and the lanes are filled with all kinds of private cars. If you are close to the company, the rent will be high, and if you are far away from the company, the transportation will be inconvenient, and how many white-collar employees suffer from this kind of suffering and tiredness every day, but I don't know how many working people in the open field are envious of this.

However, this is a completely different story for the Hong Kong Electric Company.

Although the residential buildings around the square were built decades ago, they certainly do not look back at the history of the company, which was founded in 1889. Originally located in the southernmost part of Hong Kong, if a large number of employees are allowed to travel between the Kowloon New Territories and the local area every day, and cross the whole city every day, how can the employees bear? Therefore, this residential building has long been owned by the company, and the happy employees have comfortable staff dormitories to live in, and the cohesion of the enterprise is not ordinarily strong.

But not everyone lives near South Horizons, just when it was time to go to work, a low-key luxury and connotation of the old black Rolls-Royce extended car, slowly drove to the door of the parking lot, and then stopped steadily.

A handsome young man opened the back door and walked out, then turned around: "Alice, please ......"

By the time he finished speaking, the door on the other side had already opened, but it was not only a dark-haired girl in formal clothes who got out of the car, but also an intellectual girl with blond hair, her mother Sophie.

"Don't bother you to fight, little plum~" Alice waved cheerfully to the young man: "Introducing the company is the right thing, let's start quickly." ”

Not feeling any dissatisfaction with his title of "Little Plum", Li Zeju closed the car door gently: "Then please follow me into the company, I believe Mr. Wengerman is ready." ”

One of the owners behind the scenes of HSBC in Hong Kong, Li Zeju, the eldest son of the Li Ka-shing family, invited the mother and daughter into the company's door. A century-old enterprise, the building building is naturally a typical British style, which makes Alice seem to have a sense of familiarity. After taking the elevator to the top floor, Li Zeju introduced the two to a middle-aged gentleman with a white beard.

"This is the General Manager of HK Electric, Mr Wengerman. Standing on the soft red carpet, Li Zeju said in a proper manner: "This is Miss Alice-Wang, the honorary chairman of Cisco, and her mother, Ms. Sophie. ”

"Hello, Mr. Wingerman. Alice stepped forward and held out her hand.

"Ah, it's better to see than to hear. Mr. Weinberg, who was at least a head taller than Alice, and more than twice as tall in cross-section, and more like a polar bear than an English gentleman, politely bent down and kissed Alice: "Eton College girl, you are the first one I have met in all these years. ”

"My pleasure, sir. With a tic-tac-toe smile on her forehead, Alice quietly pushed her mother to the front, and quickly wiped her hands on her shirt: "This is my mother'......"

“oh,my,god。 However, Sophie's behavior is beyond Alice's expectations. Someone swore that she and her mother were definitely in Hong Kong for the first time, and that Sophie had only been to the UK once when she was studying for her ACCA certificate. But now, she looked at Mr. Wengerman in amazement, and felt incredulous.

"Konstantin Wengerman?" she exclaimed, "You don't work at Standard Chartered anymore?"

Alice: "...... Hey?"

Just when someone was stunned, Wengerman was also surprised, first swept Sophie thoughtfully, and then suddenly, he clapped his hands vigorously and said: "Sophie, Sophie-O'Brien, God, is it really yours? Hardly getting old, you ...... at the beginning."

"Stop, stop, stop!" Alice really couldn't be calm: "You two used to know each other?"

"Yes," Sophie nodded, looking at Mr. Wingerman in amazement: "When I took the Chartered Certified Accountant exam, he was the one sitting next to me, and after the exam, we went to the fast food restaurant on the street to have a meal together!

"More than ten years, of course!" said Mr. Wengerman, who was a little unsure of who to face. Look at the young man Li Zeju in soy sauce, who is the son of the chairman of the company, and look at the beautiful intellectual girl in front of him, the beauty he met by chance more than ten years ago, so in the end, when he came back to his senses, he naturally focused his attention on Alice, who looked like a great enemy.

"Alice, Sophie, Alice is your daughter?"

Sophie reached out and put her hand on Alice's shoulder: "That's right, I settled in Los Angeles not long after I finished the exam. You know ucla, I used to ...... a lot."

"Stop, stop, please stop me. Alice didn't intend to let them continue the conversation, and stood directly in front of Mr. Wengerman to block him: "Sir, this is my mother, my father's good wife, my sister's mother, my brother's ...... Mommy. Okay, that's the introduction, so can we get down to business?"

The excitement was indeed only a matter of a moment, and Wengerman immediately took two steps back and said apologetically: "I'm really sorry, Miss Wang, it may have caused you to misunderstand." Don't worry, I'm just surprised to see a fellow candidate again, and it certainly doesn't delay the business. Come on, Victor, sit on the side. ”

The name was called by Li Zeju, a Canadian who studied at Stanford University. As soon as the business started, the previous greetings were naturally left behind, and everyone sat down in the reception area, and a secretary who had no sense of existence on the front foot immediately stepped forward to pour black tea for everyone.

But after taking her seat, Alice didn't say anything immediately, but stared at the white-bearded man suspiciously. At the age of nearly fifty, ten years longer than Sophie will make him particularly "manly". Such a guy suddenly looked at his mother in all kinds of surprises, but it was by no means a flattering thing.

Sophie didn't say anything immediately, but her daughter was sitting next to her, how could she not notice Alice's disgust with Wengerman? Sophie herself understood this emotion, imagine if she was strolling around with her mother, suddenly a man appeared on the street, and he was familiar with her mother......

"Wengerman, you must be surprised, too. Seeing the cold air around the coffee table, Li Zeju immediately interjected: "Alice, who was originally developing her career in Silicon Valley, suddenly chose to invest a lot of money in Hong Kong. ”

"Yes, yes, I also saw the statement in the newspaper," Wengerman said, "and now, Victor, you have informed me that Alice intends to invest in our HK Electric Group, which is not a small deal." Alice, let me ask if you can really come up with that much money?"

Polite questioning, in exchange for Alice's affirmative answer: "Then you can rest assured, Wengerman, my Cisco company has also been listed, the development of Microsoft is changing with each passing day, although the scale of Hong Kong Electric Company is large, but if it is just a shareholding, it is not a difficult thing." And I'm sure you're in need of Cisco products right now, right?"

The previous speech was not unexpected by those present, since the meeting has taken place at this moment, whether it is Li Zeju, one of the shareholders, or Wengerman, the general manager of HK Electric, of course, they all have a full understanding of Alice's current business situation. So after skimming over the well-cooked lines, their energy was also attracted by the second half of the sentence.

"I know about Cisco's products, but what does this have to do with our HK Electric?"

Wengerman did not look at Sophie, in an attempt to play some emotional card, but stared at Alice's blue eyes, with the natural advantage of being nearly fifty years old, to see what the hell the girl was up to in her heart.

However, Alice is destined to disappoint him. Those big blue eyes were like a puddle of water, and they were as deep as Lake Baikal, so that he, who could be the father of a girl, and who was also at the helm of a large international company, could not see any hint of his heart.

"Of course, the optimization of the power plant management system. Alice said lightly: "As the first city in Asia to have electricity supply, as a British-funded power plant company established as early as the end of the last century, you built a fully computerized power plant in Ap Lei Chau as early as 1968, and used oil to generate electricity, which was finally completed a few years ago. However, I believe that a set of information management systems that were planned so early and built so early must not be assisted by a more developed network system, right?"

"This is a very important thing, especially since I am very experienced in developing operating systems. Knowing that Mr. Wengerman was already impressed, Alice smiled even more confidently: "After all, no one wants to break HK Electric's reputation as the safest electricity use in the world, do they?" )
