Incorporated Lin Jiadong, a barrister, and Chang Wei asked him to quickly form a team of lawyers in the period before he officially took over Hutchison Whampoa.

Then Chang Wei found a headhunting agency again.

He needs a manager.

Of course, Chang Wei himself will not spend his time managing and remembering the trivial matters of the Whampoa company. And the original manager of Hutchison Whampoa, Chang Wei will definitely not stay. Even most of Hutchison Whampoa's current management team has to be fired.

There is only one reason - the vast majority of the members of Hutchison Whampoa's current management team are ghosts.

In this regard, whether objective or subjective, or the factors of the times, various reasons determine the management of a company of Chinese descent, and ghosts cannot account for the majority.

If it is a technician, such as a senior technician in the Whampoa dockyard, this reason can be ignored. But the management will never be able to.

Chang Wei has his own requirements for managers.

Therefore, when proposing headhunting conditions to headhunting companies, Chang Wei said: "You must have rich management experience, especially in large companies and groups, but you don't need to have too many ideas of your own." I want an executor, not a leader. ”

Maybe it was lucky, the headhunting company directly took out a piece of information and handed it to Chang Wei: "Mr. Chang can take a look at this information." ”

Chang Wei opened, swept his eyes, and nodded directly: "It's him." I'm going to see him right away. ”

The headhunter smiled and immediately called the manager and asked him to meet him at the café opposite the headhunter.

Twenty minutes later, Chang Wei met the manager brought by the headhunter's staff in the café.

Zhang Huan, a native of Hong Kong Island, aged 43, graduated from Princeton University with a master's degree in business administration. He used to be a senior manager of GE Europe and a vice president of the Americas of Volkswagen Group.

This person's first impression of Chang Wei was stability.

Whether it is image temperament or work experience, all of them are unstable. At the age of 25, he became a senior manager, and by the time he left Volkswagen in March this year, he had only done two jobs and only changed jobs once.

He was of medium stature, well-dressed, mild-looking, and walked unhurriedly. Chang Wei only glanced at him and decided that it was him.

Chang Wei wants to invite someone, decides who it is, and no one has the possibility of refusing.

So in the next few words, Zhang Huan became the new manager and CEO of Hutchison Whampoa.

With an annual salary of 2 million, for every three years of service, you will receive 1% of the equity dividend, with a cap of 5%.

The eyes of the people in the headhunter company were red with envy.

That's the CEO of Hutchison Whampoa! Not to mention an annual salary of 2 million and a maximum of 5% equity dividends!

It is only 1977, and although Hong Kong Island has become prosperous, there are definitely very few senior managers with an annual salary of more than one million.

Next, there is no need for the headhunter to bother around. Chang Wei paid the intermediary fee, sent away the people from the headhunting company, and had a long talk with Zhang Huan.

"I have a detailed renovation plan for Hutchison Whampoa."

Chang Wei said: "First of all, the name Hutchison Whampoa has to be thrown into the garbage heap. ”

When Zhang Huan heard this, he said: "Changsheng, Hutchison Whampoa is a veteran group with a high reputation, and changing its name means giving up its popularity." ”

"The name must be changed." Chang Wei said: "It's called Penglai." ”

"Penglai?" Zhang Huan pondered, nodded and said, "The legendary Immortal Island... It's also smooth. ”

He only made an opinion and never objected. Zhang Huan's character, Chang Wei can see it clearly at a glance. It's the kind of person he needs who has super executive ability and is relatively lacking in development, but he is a powerful character.

"The name change is one, and then there is a big change in management." Chang Wei said: "Hutchison Whampoa is a veteran foreign company, there are many ghosts in it, to completely control it, it is the best way to quickly cut through the chaos and exchange blood." ”

Zhang Huan thought deeply about this, and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

He will be the new CEO of Penglai Group, and if he wants to make a big move, he will have to remove the old obstacles. Originally, he pondered to put forward this request, but he didn't expect Chang Wei to be the first to say it, so in line with this wave of blood change, he can establish his own management authority, so as to smoothly set foot on this new stage to display his ambitions.

"The wholly owned acquisition of Hutchison Whampoa was entrusted to HSBC by all. The time is half a month. Chang Wei said: "You don't have much time, you need to touch the bottom of Hutchison Whampoa in half a month, and start to set up your own management team." ”

Zhang Huan was stunned for a moment, and hesitated slightly: "I'll set up the management team?" ”

Chang Wei smiled: "I'm a person, don't use suspicious people, don't doubt people." In terms of group management, I will completely delegate power to you. But if you don't do it well, I won't be emotional. ”

Say it in advance, don't say it in advance.

Of course, Zhang Huan knew the truth inside, understood it very well, and was very happy. As a manager, the most feared thing is that the company has indiscriminate fingers, which will make it difficult for managers to carry out their work, and then produce contradictions.

Now that he has Chang Wei's promise, his heart is suddenly wide.

"So does Changsheng have a corresponding future plan for Penglai Group?" Zhang Huan asked, "As far as I know, Hutchison Whampoa's business is very miscellaneous. Especially the Hutchison part is a mess. ”

Chang Wei smiled: "Of course there is a plan. The new Penglai Group will focus on the development of heavy industry manufacturing with Huangpu Dock as the core. The part that belongs to Jardine Matheson will be integrated into a sales channel, and the redundant messy business will be cut off and no trickle will be left. ”

"Heavy industry." Zhang Huan said: "This is consistent with my previous work experience. I work in GE and Volkswagen Group, and the business is also heavy industry. However, the conditions of heavy industry on Hong Kong Island are not good. ”

Chang Wei nodded: "The conditions on Hong Kong Island are indeed not very good. In addition to real estate, there are insignificant industries such as weaving and plastics, and the industrial foundation is shallow. However, the Whampoa Dockyard has the heritage of heavy industry, and it is not impossible to develop. Hong Kong Island has developed shipping, and various raw materials required for heavy industry are not available on Hong Kong Island, so they can be imported from overseas. ”

"Still shipbuilding as your main business?" Every question Zhang Huan asked wanted to know Chang Wei's attitude, but as for the rebuttal, there was no.

"Nope." Chang Wei said: "Ships, automobiles, industrial machinery, etc., and even weapons and equipment are all parts that Penglai Group will be involved in. ”

Zhang Huan was stunned for a moment, and said thoughtfully: "Is the stall too big?" Moreover, the Hong Kong government will definitely not open up arms manufacturing to Penglai. ”

Chang Wei laughed: "Any problem, there is me." Lao Zhang, you just need to do what I tell you to do, and you don't have to worry about the rest. ”
