Chapter 0408 - Poaching Superman's Two Taipan
"Then there will be one meeting after another, and I have to hurry up and look at the documents, how can I take care of them." Tang Huan patted the stacks of documents on the table, "If you think about the country's long-standing repressive policy towards the Chinese, you will have the motivation to find ways to get its banks to lend money, and if you don't borrow for nothing, you won't repay it in the future." ”
Zhou Mi nodded helplessly, "Okay, then I'll give it a try." ”
When Tang Huan was left alone in the office, he unabashedly smiled bitterly at the large pile of documents in front of him.
But after thinking about it, he snatched a Fortune 500 company from the British decades later, and he was full of a sense of accomplishment.
After calling and instructing a few new subordinates to come down to see him, Tang Huan began the long journey of reviewing the documents.
Tang Huan has long had a clear idea of how to deal with the huge assets of Jardine Matheson and Land, and its general principle is that Qinhe will replace Jardine Matheson as the top-level holding company, and Jardine Matheson will become a parallel company with the original little brothers.
There is no doubt that Jardine Matheson will become the main object of "training", and it will inevitably attract a backlash from those British shareholders, although Tang Huan has a controlling stake, but he is also worried that the remnants of the other party will not be underestimated to turn the table, and then attract too much British intervention.
I have to say that this is the change in thinking brought about by the exchange of positions between the two sides on and off the stage, and now it is Tang Huan's turn to worry that his bottles and cans will be broken.
Compared with the various clamours of the British in Jardine Matheson, Tang Huan's land with an absolute share of shares is much more obedient. Feel free to do whatever you want.
According to the order of easy and then difficult, asset restructuring naturally starts with Hongkong Land first.
The first step was to completely dismantle the chain ship structure in which Hongkong Land and Jardine Matheson held shares in each other, and each party transferred the other's shares to the name of Centen. This is also the first knife of Jardine Matheson to cut meat.
The second step was to spin off Hongkong Land, which would be owned by Hongkong Land's two wholly-owned subsidiaries, The Dairy Farm Company Limited and Mandarin International Hotels Limited.
The shares of Heung Kong Telephone and Heung Kong Electric Light were also handled in the same way.
Originally, the major Chinese-funded consortia in Hong Kong controlled at least one local public service company in the field of basic livelihood in Hong Kong, such as Sun Hung Kai Properties of Kwok Tak-shing controlled Kowloon Bus Company, and Lee Shau Kee's Henderson Land controlled China Gas. Li Ka-shing's Cheung Kong controlled Heung Kong Electric Light.
Now that Xiangjiang telephone and Xiangjiang electric light have fallen into his own hands, Tang Huan has no intention of letting go of the communication industry. The prospects of an energy industry are promising.
After this vigorous rectification, Hongkong Land has transformed from a conglomerate with a comprehensive business into a real estate company with a clear business scope. The asset structure has been optimized to the greatest extent.
Tang Huan's final destination for Hongkong Land. It is to delist and privatize, and is responsible for the properties in many prime local locations in Hong Kong.
In fact, there is a selfish motive of Tang Huan, who has been busy for so long, of course he wants to seek an asset for himself that completely belongs to the Tang family.
After all, Tang Huan is still very young, and according to the current production frequency of one pair of babies after another, Zhao Yazhi is also pregnant with twins without accident, and he has no private property. How to afford it.
As for Jardine, Tang Huan did not intend to further intensify the conflict. But cutting down the second and third knives respectively, so as to separate the diligence and technology and the diligence and infrastructure, is not to be refused, one is his objective need, and the other is to demonstrate the authority of the new master.
Moreover, after Qinhe Technology and Qinhe Infrastructure expand their business to the mainland, two new points of interest will be formed, so that those British people who have come to Chengcheng can share these additional benefits, which will undoubtedly further divide the British Far East business interest groups.
Tang Huan's thinking is very clear, but it needs strong execution, otherwise it will be a castle in the air.
He calculated the time in his heart, in another three years and five years, his plan will begin to enter the harvest period of flowering and fruiting, and the large amount of funding that has been sown before, even if the waves are sweeping, can always bear a few fruits of high-end talents such as senior managers.
Tang Huan was busy, there was a knock on the door, and the assistant brought in the three people he wanted to meet - Bao Fuda, Ma Shimin, and Huo Jianning.
After the greetings, Tang Huan said straight to the point: "I need the three of you to divide some of my energy to help New Bijian sort out the Jardine that looks a little messy now." ”
As soon as they heard this, the three of them immediately tasted the implication of the words, and New Bijian actually recognized Tang Huan as the boss.
The news was so shocking that they were all in a daze.
The first to react was Bao Fuda, and his face even showed a look that was really like this.
Born in 1935, Bofforda. Before entering the business world, he worked as a senior civil servant in the government department of Hong Kong for 15 years, served as a responsible official in various departments, has rich administrative experience, and even served as the second in command of the Independent Commission Against Corruption.
When Bao Fuda joined Hongkong Land in 1975, when he took the helm in 1978, Hongkong Land's business style changed from cautious to aggressive, and he and Newbi were good friends, and they helped the top boss against Simon. Keswick's seizure of power.
Although Bao Fuda belonged to New Bijian's henchmen, after Hongkong Land was first taken by Tang Huan, he chose to stay in Hongkong Land to continue his service under pressure.
Judging from the speed of Bao Fuda's defection, he may not be very loyal to Jardine Matheson, unlike the awkward life of Nie Bijian, who has been in Jardine for decades.
But it is precisely because of this that Bao Fuda, who jumped out of the fighting circle first, observed the situation more clearly.
In Bao Fuda's view, even if he insisted on continuing to fight for Jardine Matheson to the end, he would inevitably be spurned by the British Far East business interests, and of course, he was treated this way.
Since this road is the result of being ruined, it is better to survive in a desperate situation, change the court, and serve Tang Huan.
Anyway, the strong in the mall are respected. As long as you can continue to maintain your original position, no matter what others say, it is a ridiculous behavior of "saying that grapes are sour if you can't eat grapes".
When New Bijian wanted to fight for the £1 million in compensation. Bao Fuda had already seen the thoughts of the old boss - New Bijian had been completely discouraged, and because he didn't dare to hope that Tang Huan, who had offended before, could continue to stay with him, he chose to take the money and leave and go home to support his retirement.
Now that he is obedient, it means that Tang Huan took the initiative to extend an olive branch and moved him, and this process came naturally. There's nothing to fuss about.
As soon as he heard about New Bijian's final choice, Bao Fuda's heart suddenly felt a lot easier, he used to be the biggest renegade. But now it has been replaced by Newwall.
I have to say that under the turmoil of the situation, everyone has their own little abacus, and some ideas even seem quite funny.
Bao Fuda's expression changed. Naturally, he couldn't escape Tang Huan's eyes. But he didn't take it to heart, anyway, the other party has been acting close to his ears since he was obedient.
But for Ma Shimin and Huo Jianning, Tang Huan observed carefully with interest. You must know that in the original time and space, these two were Li Bancheng's most powerful generals - the two former and former Hehuang Daban.
Ma Shimin was born in Leicester, England in 1940.
In 1960, Ma Shimin, who was only 20 years old. He went to Marseille, France, and joined the French Foreign Legion, a French foreign legion, where he served for a total of 5 years. During this period he was sent to Algeria to garrison.
Perhaps it was because of this peculiar experience that Ma Shimin was passionate about adventure sports and pushing the limits.
For example, in 1999, Ma Shimin participated in the Marathon des Sables in the Sahara Desert in Morocco, and at the age of nearly 60, he completed a 254-kilometer course in seven days, which is equivalent to the length of six normal marathons.
Ma Shimin also has a pioneering achievement, that is, in November 2003, he and the famous British polar explorer Pen Hadow-Penhadow, set off from Hercules Inlet on the coast of Antarctica, Mighty Bay, and spent 58 days without supplies, walking 1,095 kilometers to reach the South Pole at an altitude of 2,835 meters, becoming the oldest person to complete this route at the age of 63.
Ma Shimin's career experience began in 1965 after retiring from the army and joined Jardine Matheson, where he started from low ground and sold air-conditioning systems and elevators in the Far East.
After 14 years of work, Ma Shimin left Jardine Matheson to form Davenham Investments, Zengyao Limited, with his partner.
Tang Huan asked Zhou Mi to directly acquire the company, thus bringing Ma Shimin under his command.
In Tang Huan's plan, Ma Shimin, who has business experience and an adventurous spirit, has the backbone of Silicon Valley talents, and is very suitable for opening up the new field of mobile communications in Xiangjiang.
As for Huo Jianning, who was born in 1952, he belongs to the professional elite, and obtained a degree in literature from Saint Johns University in Minnesota, USA, in 1974, and obtained a professional accountant qualification.
After returning from studying in the United States in 1979, Fok joined Li Bancheng's Cheung Kong Industrial Group as an accounting officer.
However, Fok Jianning did not stop at his existing major, and then went to Australia University of NewEngland to study abroad, obtained a degree in financial management, and obtained the Australian accountant qualification.
After Huo Jianning came back from Australia, he originally planned to start a business, but it didn't go well, and he was planning to rejoin the arms of his old club, and he extended an olive branch to him.
Regardless of whether Li Bancheng was really forced by HSBC to jump out and become one of the "White Warriors" of Jardine Matheson, he only looked at the results, and poaching two future Hutchison Taipan in succession was an invisible tribute.
Aren't you hardworking and packaged as a "superman" by public opinion, then you shouldn't mind missing your right-hand man out of thin air.
Sensing the cold light hidden in Tang Huan's eyes, Ma Shimin and Huo Jianning hurriedly lowered their heads to look at the documents on the table.
Tang Huan's expression slowed down, and explained to them the three asset divestiture knives that slashed at Jardine, "New Bijian is mainly responsible for communicating with the directors of the British side, and you need to handle the specific affairs. ”
The three of them nodded their heads in understanding.
"In addition, there is a trouble, Hongkong Land and Jianing Group, Yida have several real estate project cooperation, now this pair of inseparable brothers, caught in the whirlpool of fraud, have announced that there is a short-term capital turnover problem, in case of debt restructuring later, or even liquidated and closed, Hongkong Land is bound to have more financial pressure."
Tang Huan looked at Bao Fuda and Huo Jianning, "You two give me an assessment report as soon as possible, I, as a family, must know how much cash turnover the entire group needs." ”
Bao Fuda looked ashamed, "Mr. Tang, I really can't imagine that the foolproof cooperation at the beginning has now become a heavy burden. ”
"The flowers are getting more and more charming, no one wants to be like this, just get through this turbulent stage, and then you will almost belong to the founding ministers."
Tang Huan waved his hand disappreciatively, "You don't have to worry, although I have a big fight with HSBC, aren't there other banks in Xiangjiang?" And I can think of all the financial owners you can think of—the Middle Eastern royal family, the European family, and the Japanese-American consortium—I can make a little bit of a connection. In short, our funds are not as stretched as the outside world seems. ”
As one of the losers, Bao Fuda had the most direct and frightened feelings about Tang Huan's wealth, but now from the perspective of the same camp, hearing Tang Huan's bold words turned into a refreshment.
It can only be said that after the time shift and object exchange, the world is really wonderful.
……
With Tang Huan's personal command, the operation of the entire Qinhe Department has suddenly accelerated, and with the shareholders' meetings, various resolutions have been released, and the "Tang flavor" of the first consortium in Xiangjiang has become stronger and stronger.
The outside world was dazzled, but also surprised by the personnel changes of Qinhe, how did the dignified Jardine Madisson Taipan Bijian become Tang Huan's right-hand man, shouldn't he be liquidated?
For the British Far East business interests, the chain reaction triggered by the change of court of New Bijian was not a resounding slap in the face to the British Far East business interests, and the chain reaction it triggered can be described as an inappropriate example, that is, Wang Jingwei's defection to the enemy in the War of Resistance Against Japan.
Of course, this is just a business war, and Tang Huan is not a Japanese devil, but the effect of the leading party has really made Ximen. Keswick's faction was in a hurry.
When they were thinking hard about countermeasures, in a series of shareholders' meetings of the Qinhe Department, the final shareholders' meeting that was deliberately arranged in the Jardine Matheson family finally came. (To be continued......)
