Chapter 66 Modernization and Internationalization

The threat of the Pingchuan faction was temporarily lifted, and Liu Jiachang and the others no longer needed to hide in Vung Tau.

When Ngo Dinh Diem solves the imminent refugee problem, the problem of the chief of the General Staff Nguyen Van Xin's self-respect for the army, and the problem of separating the warlords such as Hoa Hoa Hoa, Cao Dai and Tranh Minh Se, he will clean up Le Van Yuan and start a war with the Binh Chuan faction entrenched on the embankment.

The embankment is not safe, and there is not much business there, including Henry and Lau Ka-fai, who had just arrived from Hong Kong, and they all rented in the city, not far from the Saigon headquarters of the Bank of East Asia on Catina Street.

Americans have American social circles, and Professor Henry and the students he recruited in the United States were invited to the Burj Al Arab for a "fellow American" party as soon as they got off work.

Liu Jiachang, Wang Kangxing, Wang Jinpeng, Gu Pingchun, Gu Cailian, Li Jimin, and other members of the new generation of the Li family, as well as the brothers of the Li family, who came with Liu Jiahui from Hong Kong, did not leave the second, third, fourth, and even fifth and sixth houses, but all gathered in the conference room of the Yuehua Insurance Company set up on the third floor of the bank to hold the first meeting of the "small group" of the Li family.

There is a reason why the cousins and cousins came here, after the "transformation" of the Changfang Changzhi, their business was all affected, and the precious timber and medicinal materials could no longer be dumped, and the "import and export" of stocking goods in Hong Kong and smuggling them from shipping companies to Vietnam could no longer be carried out. As the head of the long house, Li Weimin is responsible for them and gives them a way out.

"Time is too tight, there are too many things, there are not many polite words to say, let's get straight to the point."

Today on the 20th, tomorrow on the 21st, if history has not changed, then tomorrow there will be something big to happen. Li Weimin beckoned everyone to sit down, and said succinctly: "Don't look at the many people sitting here, but our business is more. These days, I think about it and plan to divide it into seven parts: banking, insurance, industrial investment, shipping, industry, investment and education.

President Henry, as you have seen, was my professor when I was studying in the United States, and he is very level, very capable, and there is nothing uneasy about having him at the helm of the Bank of East Asia. But he is not familiar with Hong Kong, Saigon and Singapore, so you must cooperate well with Jiahui, Rehabilitation, Binh Xuan and Jingnan. ”

Liu Jiahui, who graduated a year ahead of schedule, looked back at his colleagues, and was the first to raise his hand and said: "Brother Weimin, don't worry, we will cooperate well and study hard with the professor." ”

Li Weimin nodded slightly, and continued: "Yuehua Insurance is headed by Jin Peng, in addition to the $500,000 start-up capital, I will help you invite a few senior actuaries from Wall Street." In the next three to five years, our business will mainly focus on Vietnam, and when everything is on the right track, we will cultivate and train our own insurance talents, and then expand our business scale, and then set foot in the insurance markets in Hong Kong, Singapore, and even Europe and the United States. ”

Today's "division of labor" is actually an official announcement, and it has already been determined what everyone will do in the future.

Wang Jinpeng has not been idle these days, has done a lot of homework, and said with a confident smile: "The rice should be eaten one bite at a time, young master, don't worry, I know what to do." ”

"It's good to know."

Li Weimin smiled, turned to look at Liu Jiachang and said: "The industrial investment company has the strongest capital and the largest scale, and the next work is the most, which can be called a thousand things. As the largest shareholder, I will personally serve as the chairman, and at the board meeting tomorrow morning, I will nominate Jiachang as the general manager. Pei Wen and Ah Cai, who was in Nong District, entered the Industrial Investment Group, Pei Wen became the assistant to the general manager, and Ah Cai became the deputy head of the security department. ”

With only $50,000 in principal, it obtained 46% of the equity of the industrial investment company with an existing capital of more than $10 million. It wasn't until the first round of financing was successful that Liu Jiachang realized how capable the young master was, and this karate was simply appalling.

The future Vietnam Industrial Estate Investment Co., Ltd. is not only a commercial company, but also has some functions that only the government has, can formulate policies, can collect various taxes and fees, and even has its own army, which is more like the Ministry of Industry and Commerce than the Ministry of Industry and Commerce of the government.

The young master, the chairman, can't do everything himself, the main work still has to be done by himself, the more Liu Jiachang thinks about it, the more excited he becomes, and the more he thinks about it, the more enthusiastic he becomes.

Without waiting for him to speak, Li Weimin continued: "The shipping company maintains the status quo, my father is responsible for the investment in Paris, and the next thing to talk about is industry and education." The industrial investment company is an industry, but not all of it is our Li family, and the investment is large and the results are slow. In addition, as the chairman, I can't mix my own business with everyone's business, so I spun it off and let Sister Lian take care of it.

The name of the company is Lee's Enterprise, and now it has three businesses, one is clothing design, production and sales, the other is pharmaceutical, and the third is film. If you are not interested in these industries, there is a better way, and you don't have enough funds on hand, then talk to Jiahui and Jiachang, apply for a loan from East Asia, and then go to the industrial village to apply for a factory. ”

Rather than a chicken head than a phoenix tail, how can you do it yourself freely.

A cousin got up and said, "For the people, let's take a look first, and then discuss it after reading it, and then trouble you when we make up our minds, and then talk to you." ”

"Yes, Vietnam hasn't been here for a long time, and it's not as familiar as Hong Kong, so let's take a look first."

"It doesn't matter, Peiwen has been walking around with you in the past few days, taking a good look at the investigation, and if you are really not used to it, you will go back to Hong Kong and support the Bank of East Asia in Hong Kong."

"Okay, you're busy, you go on."

"Finally, there is education, which is different from the primary and secondary schools in the gang, and I was going to set up a private university, but now I don't have so much money and I can't make too much publicity, so I first set up a vocational training school like the Asian professional school, which is dedicated to training engineers and skilled workers for the industrial village plan. Yousong, you are a master's degree, you have the highest knowledge, and you will take the lead in running this school.

Materials, Metallurgy, Machinery, Chemicals, Agriculture, Medical...... As long as there are majors related to natural sciences, they must be offered. As for the funds for running the school, the industrial investment company bears a part of it, raises a part from the society, and I personally donate a part. In short, we should try our best to get our own higher education in China. ”

Running a school is the most faceless and respected cause of overseas Chinese on the embankment, of course Ding Yousong will not refuse, but asks again and again: "That...... That...... So where is the school built? ”

"Everything is difficult at the beginning, first rent a larger place outside as a school building, it doesn't have to be centralized, you can open a few classes in different places first. If conditions permit, if the bonds sell well enough, I will build two campuses in Binh Dong Industrial Village and Phu Quoc Industrial Village, and strive to move into the new school building by the end of next year. ”

Looking at everyone's thoughtful looks, Li Weimin said meaningfully: "Everyone, society is developing, the times are progressing, you all have to take up the positions of president, vice president, manager and supervisor, especially the idea of employing people, you must keep pace with the times, you can't be as conservative as your ancestors, you can't always think about whether he is a Chaozhou person, if you are not a Chaozhou person, or even a Chinese, then you can't use it, and you can't be entrusted with important tasks."

You know, we have now transformed, we want to modernize, internationalize. In terms of employing people, we must keep up with the times and diversify. If you can hire an American as a bank president, why can't you hire a Vietnamese as a vice president? I can tell you unequivocally that in the future, I will be meritocracy, whether it is the Industrial Investment Company or the Bank of East Asia, even the Lee Enterprises will recruit a large number of capable foreign or foreign talents.

This is a turning point that takes into account the company culture.

What is the company culture is the atmosphere of the company, that is, whether the owner is good to the guys, and whether it can retain people. This involves all aspects of modern company management, such as whether the management is nepotism, whether there is discrimination against employees of different nationalities or races, whether there is room for promotion and salary increase in the company, etc., and then I will invite business management experts to come to the training, I hope you can pay attention to it. ”

In the past, banks were like pawnshops, like usury. In the past, the wood mill and rice mill were like big workshops, and there were a lot of workers, but there was actually no management at all.

The people who can sit here have all received a new education, and they have thought about how to run the business more than once before, but all the business is owned by the Li family, the owner doesn't speak, and the owner doesn't want to change, why do you worry about salty radishes?

The eldest young master was more enlightened than he imagined, and Liu Jiahui was excited.

What made him even more excited was that Li Weimin suddenly changed his words and said sincerely: "On the issue of employing people, not only must you keep pace with the times, but I also must keep pace with the times. So I drafted an executive equity incentive plan to distribute 2% to 5% of the equity of Lee's enterprises according to the number of years you and your parents and even grandparents have served in my family.

In other words, from now on, all of you will be shareholders of Lee's Enterprise, and all of you will participate in the dividend at the end of the year. We are no longer in that feudal affiliation, but partners in modern business.

Finally, turnover, especially executive turnover, is not all bad for a company. Flowing water is not rotten, and the hub is not beetle. Besides, Chaozhou people starve to death and don't work, if you want to go out and work hard, and want to do your own business, I will not object, I will only support it. ”

The industrial village plan is rolled out, there are so many preferential conditions, and there is the support of the eldest young master, someone really has this idea. But now is the time when there is a shortage of people, and even if you go, you can't go now.

Liu Jiachang coughed dryly twice, and said half-jokingly: "I am a Hakka, I really don't have the courage to go out to work, and now I have shares, don't say I don't want to leave, even if I am driven away, I won't leave." ”

Wang Xingxing, Wang Jinpeng, Gu Pingchun, Gu Cailian and others reacted suddenly, and scrambled to say one by one: "Young Master, you are so good to us, how can we leave?" ”

"Yes, we swore in front of Second Master Guan!"
