Chapter 267: Safety First
Whether it is a stake in the Hujiang Development Bank under construction, or a joint investment with a state-owned bank to establish the Hujiang NB Bank, it is a means for the NB Electric Group, whether it can reasonably and legally carry out financial credit business in China, and help the NB Power Generation, Transmission and Distribution Group and the NB Medical Group quickly occupy the domestic market is the goal.
Including the first topic just now, Wu Jinhua, the CEO of the group, has clear ideas, and they are all within his decision-making authority.
The charter clearly understands that the reason why he proposed it is completely out of respect for himself, the largest shareholder, after all, these two are major decisions, related to hundreds of millions of dollars in earnings and investment.
In the past six months, the board of directors of the group has carried out a second integration of various sub-groups and subsidiaries, which is more flexible and competitive than before. The relationship between the Group's headquarters and its sub-group subsidiaries and regional companies has also been further clarified.
In particular, the advantages of the various modern management systems that have been steadily implemented are gradually emerging.
The charter is convinced that looking back in 10 or 20 years, what they have done now can definitely be called a solid foundation for the development of NB Electric Group.
There is no suspicion in employing people, and there is no need for suspicious people.
What's more, they are completely trustworthy and do a remarkable job, even if they are themselves, they may not do a better job than them. The charter does not want to be concerned about everything, let alone let the board of directors of the group, which is a decision-making body, become an executive body.
While looking around at the crowd, he said step by step: "Ladies and gentlemen, the direction of the group's development in the next five years was discussed as early as last year, and various possibilities were predicted. I have studied a variety of coping options. It turns out. The previous homework was done in vain. In the face of the sudden investigation by the U.S. government, the board of directors made the most correct decision in the first place.
In particular, Mr. Wu immediately recalled NB Medical's after-sales service personnel overseas, and through the gag order issued by President Gao to the CT project team of the Faculty of Technology and Application, it was a stroke of genius. ”
The board of directors had previously discussed the possibility of this, but the object of the illusion was Germany rather than the United States, and at the same time, it did not expect that it would come so early and break out on NB Medical's large-scale medical imaging diagnostic equipment.
It is said that being a thief is weak, what NB Electric did in Germany. It's not as invulnerable as it seems.
If someone goes online, it can get very troublesome. The Board of Directors has set up a crisis communications team of German and Hong Kong lawyers to look into this aspect of the matter and ensure that it is not caught off guard.
Thinking of their false accusations and the strategy of "counting the plan" formulated by the board of directors overnight, everyone couldn't help but smile knowingly.
"As a shareholder, I am honored to have such outstanding professional managers. Aside from being a shareholder, I'm proud to have such wonderful colleagues and friends as you are, and that's what I want to say. This is also what my brother-in-law, Mr. Liu Siwei, and my sister, Ms. Liu Zhanghui, want to say. ”
Wu Jinhua was embarrassed and glanced at Xu Sangcheng and Yan Xiushi. Shaking his head, he said: "Mr. Zhang, you have a good reputation, in fact, we are also honored to be able to become an executive of NB Electric Group, and to be your colleague and friend." ”
Even Xu Sangcheng, who has always been unrestrained and smiling, said with deep understanding: "Yes, Mr. Zhang, not everyone can have the opportunity to experience everything that has happened in the past two months. ”
Lawyer Rong even quipped: "Mr. Zhang, it is precisely because of this experience that my lawyer's fees can now be justifiably increased by 30%, and more importantly, those big bosses who have always been careful no longer think it is expensive." ”
"My wife is also proud of me, and now she always says that my husband is a director of NB Electric Group, and then a member of the Legislative Council."
They are all some of the most prominent people in Hong Kong, and their success is measured by their social status in addition to wealth.
NB Electronics' "NB Future Window" flat picture tube color TV and visual flat screen display, NB Medical's "Deep-Eye-100" and "Deep-Eye-200" medical CT machines, NB Industrial Automation's PLC, servo motor and inverter, and NB-Linux operating system launched by NB Laboratory...... and so on one after another, so that NB Electric Group has become synonymous with high technology.
The "oolong incident" caused by the U.S. Congress and the U.S. government has made NB Electric flourish in Hong Kong.
In terms of assets, NB Electric may be ranked after the top ten in Hong Kong. In terms of popularity and prestige, the previous ones are not as good as an NB electric. Even the grandma who picked up the rags knew that the NB electrical staff were the most capable people in Hong Kong, and the researchers in the NB laboratory were the smartest people in Hong Kong!
As the senior executives of the group, they are undoubtedly the people who have attracted the most attention from the people of Hong Kong.
Looking at the way Councilor Shen's eyebrows fluttered, the charter realized that the "oolong incident" not only brought pride to NB Electric, but also gave NB Electric unprecedented cohesion. And this is something that cannot be done by how much money is spent and no amount of advertising is done.
He nodded slightly, and smiled meaningfully, "It's a pity that this is the conference room, otherwise I would really like to open a bottle of champagne and thank Rep. Cox and his committee." ”
The big boss meant very clearly, he didn't want to bother with the normal operation of the group.
As always, Wu Jinhua was full of emotion, closed the folder and said: "Mr. Zhang, after coming back this time, you will not go abroad again in a short time, I think we can have more time to communicate in the future." In addition, I know that you would very much like to return to the Hong Kong SAR to reunite with your family, but regarding the future security of you and your family, we agree that it is necessary to make it the last topic of our agenda. ”
"Thank you for your concern, this is something that Prince Mateb, who is participating in the Olympics, has taken into account, and he has hired two senior bodyguards for me, just outside."
"Mr. Jan Joseph and Ms. Magdalena, former agents of the East German National Security Council, they have been with you for a year, we all know that."
Wu Jinhua took a document from Xu Sangcheng's hand, and continued: "But Hong Kong is not St. Petersburg, and the level of attention you receive in Hong Kong is not comparable to that when you were in St. Petersburg. And the lab has made a public statement, and everyone knows that you will be doing research at HKUST for most of the time in the future. Mr. Wang's lessons are there, and we dare not take them lightly. ”
"Mr. Zhang."
Lawyer Yung's face was straight, and he echoed with great seriousness: "Hong Kong's security is not as good as before, and you are now the tenth richest man in Hong Kong, so Mr. Guangyang-Joseph and Ms. Magdalena are far from enough, I have consulted the experts of the Security Division, and they believe that you need at least a security team of no less than 25 professionals." ”
The "Thief of the Century" is still at large, and there are now several outlaws like him in Hong Kong. At the same time, triad activities are rampant, especially those who invest in filming, which has made the Hong Kong entertainment industry so uneasy that celebrities have to march in the streets to protest a series of violent incidents against them.
People are afraid of being famous, pigs are afraid of being strong, and God knows if those bastards will target themselves. The charter weighed it and said casually, "There's nothing wrong with being careful, but you don't need 25 people." ”
"Mr. Zhang, we have to think not only about your safety, but also about your family."
Wu Jinhua put the folder in front of him lightly, and said seriously: "A gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall, the safety of you and your family is directly related to the future of the group, as the CEO of the group, I am responsible for the safety of you and your family." ”
Xu Sangcheng walked up to him, pointed to the fulfillment in the folder, and introduced it like a few treasures: "Zhang Chengdong, the former Chinese superintendent of the police department, and Ye Leren, the former adjutant of the Hong Kong Governor who was once part of the Flying Tigers, are the best candidates for the head of the security team. This Mr. Ge Jiaming is a retired member of the French Foreign Legion. Many years of experience in special operations. With his years of combat experience, it shouldn't be difficult to assemble a strong security team for you.
In addition, we contacted six former members of the Key Personnel Protection Team (G4), five former members of the Flying Tigers, and G4S, the UK's largest private security company and one of the largest security groups in the world. If you don't feel like they're a good fit, we can also contact the international security giants Risk Control, Pinkerton Detective Agency, or H&A. ”
Fearing that the constitution would not agree, Mr. Yung put down his cup and added: "Mr. Zhang, Mr. Jan-Joseph and Ms. Magdalena are very good, but they are only two people, and they can't ensure the safety of you and your family at all, and it is difficult for them to apply for a gun license in Hong Kong." ”
The charter pondered for a moment, but still shook his head, "I know everyone is doing it for my good, but it's too exaggerated. My mother and grandmother don't have to worry about it, because they plan to wait for me to get married and go back to my hometown in Riverside. My brother-in-law and my eldest sister are uncertain, and their stay in Hong Kong is very short, so there should be no problem in terms of safety. So it's enough to add four or five more people, and don't make it so laborious. ”
The tone was undoubted, Wu Jinhua no longer insisted, closed the folder and said: "Then when you come back, Mr. Xu will arrange another time for you to meet these people." In addition, we have specially ordered two bulletproof cars, and we hope that you and Miss Xia will not refuse. ”
Although he did not think that he would be targeted by the kidnappers, he said with a sincere face: "Thank you, thank you for everything you have done for me and my family. ”
Wu Jinhua opened the door of the conference room and quipped while sending him out: "We do the thing, but it is your money that is spent." ”
The charter also didn't want them to have any accidents, so he immediately turned around and said: "Mr. Wu, Mr. Xu, Mr. Yan, your safety can't be taken lightly, one bulletproof car per person, one security officer or two, if you don't do it yourself, then I can only do it for you."
