Speaking of talents, Pan Ming recommended a person to Zhang Shaoping, this person is named Yuan Tianfan, born in 1952. Hai came to Hong Kong at the age of 5. Seven years ago, after graduating from the University of Chicago with a degree in economics, Yuen returned to Hong Kong to teach at the Chinese University of Hong Kong, and less than a year later, he moved to HSBC's Dorley Bond Division.

Yuan Tianfan is a geek, and after several rolls in the bond department, he has now been promoted to the head of the finance department.

In later generations, anyone who pays a little attention to the world's financial or managerial personnel will be familiar with Yuan Tianfan, who will become the managing director of Vickerdaw after leaving the company in 85 years and participate in the global securities business. But what made Yuan Tianfan a hit was that he joined the Hong Kong Stock Exchange as the chief executive officer in 1988, with an annual salary of HK$2.5 million, becoming the highest-paid employee in Hong Kong that year and the youngest chief executive of the Hong Kong Stock Exchange. He overhauled the Hong Kong Stock Exchange and was named one of the top 10 financial figures in Hong Kong in 1989.

Yuan Tianfan is not only the president, but also has a unique set of investment planning, company operation and listing, etc., and is especially good at "backdoor listing" of the company. Yuan Tianfan was known as Li Jiacheng's military advisor in later generations, and one of the most amazing strokes was to help Yingke Company, a subsidiary of "Little Superman" Li Zeyan, successfully go public through backdoor listing, creating the myth of achieving hundreds of billions of billions of dollars overnight.

Such a person is arrogant, even if he has not yet shown his edge, it is not something that a casual company or person can recruit.

Of course, Zhang Shaoping didn't know how huge and terrifying Yuan Tianfan's future achievements were, but this did not prevent Zhang Shaoping from persevering in inviting him to join his company.

Of course, there is Pan Ming's factor in this, you must know that Pan Ming is not only an analyst, but also a doer, and the Quanjiale fast food restaurant he single-handedly runs has quality and quantity, not to mention opening branches, and even now even the affiliated hot pot restaurant has been tinkered with. is such a person, but he admires Yuan Tianfan very much and highly recommends him, so it's no wonder that Zhang Shaoping is not curious.

After Zhang Shaoping's repeated calls and sincere invitations, Yuan Tianfan finally relented and promised to meet him, a new upstart in Hong Kong's business community, and drink coffee and chat with each other.

In an upscale café, the two met.

Zhang Shaoping was very curious, what kind of great ability did this young man in front of him have that made Pan Ming, who had always been full of confidence, very convinced. And Yuan Tianfan is even more interested in Zhang Shaoping, in half a year, he started from scratch and laid a lot of money, and it is not an exaggeration to call him a young giant in the business world.

Yuan Tianfan drank coffee and said to Zhang Shaoping: "Mr. Zhang, you have repeatedly invited me to your company, but what am I doing in your company?" Actually, I can't do anything. ”

Zhang Shaoping didn't expect that Yuan Tianfan's first sentence when they met was this, so he couldn't help but be surprised and asked, "Why do you say that?" My company needs professional managers to take care of it, and I also need the CEO to take the helm! ”

Faced with Zhang Shaoping's puzzlement, Yuan Tianfan did not rush to explain, but asked: "Mr. Zhang, do you know Mary?" ”

"The famous long-term general Mary, there are probably not many people in Hong Kong who have never heard of his name."

When it comes to Mary, Zhang Shaoping is quite envious of Li Chaoren, talents are all caught by him, and it is difficult to think about it!

The vice chairman of the board of directors of Cheung Kong, C. Magnus, is a British national who graduated from the prestigious Cambridge University with a degree in economics. Before joining Cheung Kong, he was the Chief Executive Officer of Haw Par Singapore and met Lee Ka Seng through business relationships. At the sincere invitation of the Li family, he officially joined Cheung Kong in 1979. In dealing with Hong Kong foreign banks and overseas consortia, most of them are handled by Macris. Li Jiacheng values him, not only because of his British ancestry and diploma from a prestigious school, but also because he is an excellent economic management expert.

As soon as this guy joined Cheung Kong Industrial Group, he gave Li Jiacheng a big gift, that is, he assisted Li Chaoren in acquiring Hutchison Whampoa in 79.

The predecessor of Hutchison Whampoa was founded in 1860 Hutchison & Co., which was originally a small foreign firm of three or four streams, but it rose rapidly in the 60s, and successively acquired Whampoa Dockyard, Watsons and other companies, and in its heyday, its subsidiary and associated companies were as high as 360, and its business covered real estate, finance, insurance, hotels, shipping, warehouses, automobiles, medicines, import and export trade, etc., becoming the second largest commercial organization in Hong Kong after Jardine Matheson.

However, the faster it rises, the worse it falls, and due to overexpansion, which leads to a tight capital chain, Hutchison & Co. immediately suffered heavy losses in the stock market crash and oil crisis in the 70s, and was on the verge of bankruptcy. At this time, HSBC took advantage of the situation and acquired 33.65% of the shares of Hutchison, becoming the largest shareholder and taking over the company.

After the takeover of HSBC, Hutchison & Co. was vigorously restructured and renovated, and in 1977, Hutchison and its most important subsidiary, Whampoa Dockyard, were merged to form Hutchison Whampoa.

However, according to Hong Kong's company law and banking law, banks cannot engage in non-financial business, and creditor banks can take over enterprises that are in financial crisis, but when they come out of the crisis and are on the right track, they must sell them.

This gave Lee the opportunity to become a superman, and his subordinate MacLeon personally mediated and finally sold his shares in HSBC Hutchison Whampoa to him at the end of September 1979, and only needed to pay a 20% down payment.

Hutchison Whampoa has a large number of high-quality land resources, Li Jiacheng bought these shares, a total of more than 600 million, and now, even though the general environment is not good, but just the Whampoa dock into a residential building, the net profit is more than 5 billion......

In addition to the land bank, Hutchison Whampoa also has nearly 169,000 square meters of commercial buildings, which do not need to be sold, and the rent alone is a large amount of income.

Yuan Tianfan ignored Zhang Shaoping's envy and said: "When Mr. Li Jiacheng invited Mr. Mary a few years ago, Mr. Mary said to Mr. Li: 'Mr. Li, the career you have achieved today has proved that you are an excellent entrepreneur, but in essence, your role is like that of a capitalist, because you own these enterprises with capital (shares) as a link. If you want to make your business bigger, you have to change your identity and become a qualified capitalist. The same applies to you, Mr. Zhang. ”

Zhang Shaoping frowned, looked thoughtful, and asked Yuan Tianfan to continue.

Yuan Tianfan said: "Your career achievements today have proved that you are an entrepreneur, and your business involves non-related industries such as real estate, clothing, foreign trade, media, catering, and cinemas. With your vision, skill and ability, starting a business quickly and steadily, to be honest, I am ashamed of myself. And you manage these businesses in an entrepreneurial way, I can't compare to you at all, what's the point of coming? I'll do the position of president, what do you do? ”

Zhang Shaoping was stunned when asked, yes, he came to be the president, what should I do? You must know that these companies, but he created them with one punch and one kick, each of which is his painstaking effort, saying that he is delegating power to people to do it, but when it comes to the critical moment, he will definitely point fingers.

Yuan Tianfan said: "Zhang Sheng, as you know, the ownership and management rights of enterprises are separated. At the beginning of your business, you were an outstanding entrepreneur who captured business opportunities with a keen eye and created your wealth today step by step. Now that you have become a capitalist, you will definitely make a big mistake in doing the capitalist thing in the way of an entrepreneur - this mistake is the dilemma and confusion you are facing today. ”

Hearing this, Zhang Shaoping was greatly surprised, he didn't know all these terms about the separation of ownership and management rights of enterprises, and what entrepreneurs couldn't do the things of capitalists. This is the shortcomings and disadvantages caused by not having a systematic management study, and it is inherently unable to manage a huge industry. Zhang Shaoping thought to himself: I have to find a teacher to teach well.

To tell the truth, Yuan Tianfan's last sentence really touched Zhang Shaoping's heart, as the business got bigger and bigger, things became more and more complicated, he already felt too tired and powerless, and even had a situation where talents left.

Yuan Tianfan continued: "Mr. Zhang Shaoping, you are young and promising, you start a business from scratch, you know how to manufacture garments, you know how to trade business, you know real estate, you can say that you are a great entrepreneur!" But apart from these, do you know about media, infrastructure, catering, financial investment, and other related industries? You certainly won't know everything, because everyone can't be omnipotent, and even if you have the ability, how much time do you have to take care of so many things?

If you started a business from nothing and gathered thousands of family fortunes, is it to serve as the chairman of the company and serve as the president? No, these positions are not an official, but a responsibility! Responsibility is, in a way, hard work, racking your brains to get things done, and in the end it is exhausting...... So, now you're coming to me to realize your business dreams, not to simply run the business. Because if you're just running a business, you're good enough as an entrepreneur. Now only when you realize that you are a capitalist can you cross the threshold in front of you, and your career can leap forward! ”

Choose! Seems to make a lot of sense!

As a crossing party, my biggest ideal should be to take the best car, live in the best house, eat the best diet, and sleep the best woman, right, Nima's, how did she make so much money, and she was still running around, tired like a dog? No wonder I always feel that something is wrong, it turns out that I am still talking about some kind of entrepreneurial thinking, and I have not degenerated to the level of a capitalist!

Zhang Shaoping thought about it wildly, and directly interpreted Yuan Tianfan's words in an alternative way, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt that it made sense, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help showing a trace of joy, and then couldn't help nodding again and again, signaling Yuan Tianfan to continue.

Yuan Tianfan saw that Zhang Shaoping was an understanding person with an extraordinary demeanor, and felt that no matter what the result was, this friend was worth making.

So he raised his voice and said, "As an entrepreneur, you're only doing half right and the other half wrong." Since an enterprise has two rights, ownership and management rights, you have realized the professionalization of managers at the level of management rights, but the board of directors at the level of enterprise ownership is not worthy of the name, and the board of supervisors is even more virtual. Although you have run the enterprise to a scale of more than one billion yuan and have several companies under your umbrella, you don't even understand the "Company Law", so today you feel more and more difficult, which is inevitable.

The board of directors is the strategic decision-making body of the enterprise, and it needs people with professional standards to serve as directors, so that the resolutions formed by the board of directors are scientific and valuable. Look at your current company, there is basically no board of directors, and even if there is, it is nothing more than you pat your head and decide, just follow your feelings. Fortunately, you are an entrepreneur with a surname and luck, and your company has today's achievements, to put it bluntly, it is the result of your personal heroism Mr. Zhang Shaoping. ”

Zhang Shaoping laughed a few times, thinking: Brother, how can this have a surname and luck, brother is hanging the halo of crossing the party, so he is invincible.

However, after listening to Yuan Tianfan's words, Zhang Shaoping really had the feeling of "listening to your words is better than reading a book for ten years", and he paid more and more attention to this person.
