The Wealth Empire Crossing the Hong Kong

Chapter 176 Entering the Southeast Asian Market

While Xinjian Group is reducing its shares in Wheelock and Whampoa, Jiashi reported that on next Monday, that is, on the 28th, Li Jianhui will inspect the Southeast Asian market with a number of high-level executives.

Among them are Chen Xinyi, President of Xinjian Charity Foundation, Wei Li, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Wheelock Holdings and Tesco Group, Shi Shaoming, President of Jiayi Group, Wang Haichuan, Executive Vice President of Huihong Group, Gan Qinglin, Vice President of Wheelock Land Group, Walker Horford, vice president of Huangpu Shipping Group, and many other senior officials of the Xinjian Department.

This news has attracted the attention of many interested people. Xinjian Group has just announced that it will reduce its shareholding in the two major groups, and now it is time to investigate the Southeast Asian market. They wonder if Li Jianhui is planning to raise funds to set off a storm in Southeast Asia.

In particular, the representatives of the Nanyang Consortium in Xiangjiang are full of worries in their hearts. You must know that the reduction of shares held by the Xinjian Group can increase hundreds of millions of cash for them, and Wheelock Land has an increase of three billion Hong Kong dollars. cash flow.

If Li Jianhui concentrated his strength on one of them, even if they blocked Li Jianhui's attack, they would suffer heavy losses.

Whether it was the Qiu family in Xingzhou, the Guo family in Malay, or even the Huang family in Xingzhou, they immediately raised their vigilance and paid close attention to Li Jianhui's next movements to avoid being caught off guard by Li Jianhui.

In the past, they had hoped to kill the Xin Jian department in advance, but now they realized that they were really overwhelmed.

The Xinjian Department has not been suppressed, and Xiangjiang's economic development is getting better and better. On the contrary, they have to worry about the possible attacks of the Xinjian Department at any time.

On the contrary, Hong Kong's British-funded enterprises Taipan and Chinese-funded families are quite happy about this. Li Jianhui's increased expansion of the external market also means that investment in Xiangjiang will be reduced, so that they will face much less pressure from the Xinjian Department.

In the conference room of the Wheelock Building, Li Jianhui said to the executives who will accompany him on his inspection tour of Southeast Asia: "This time we have two goals. One is to open the way for charity and open up the Southeast Asian market. For this action, the Xinjian Charity Fund Bian will donate [-] million Hong Kong dollars to the five countries of Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, Philippines and India.

The second purpose is to unite some local Chinese-funded families to compete with several core member industries of the Nanyang Consortium.

In addition, our investment department has investigated the industries owned by Qiu Deba, Guo Henian, Huang Tingfang, Guo Fangfeng, etc., especially their listed companies. If there is a chance, they will rush to buy them for me. If there is no chance, let these people get nervous . "

This trip to Southeast Asia will not be idle. Wheelock Land will use Kuala Lumpur as the city where the group will build the fifth Wheelock Square.

Tesco Group will also allow Lane Crawford, Watsons, IKEA, Tesco and other retail chains to develop markets in several countries.

Xinjian Bank, Huangpu Shipping Group, and Huihong Group also hope to increase cooperation with several companies.

It is also now that Jingyi Electric is still just an empty shell, otherwise there will be more high-level executives going to Southeast Asia this time.

Li Jianhui, who holds a lot of money, will not put all the money in the bank. The financing of major groups is on the one hand, and the Xinjian Bank will provide loans to these enterprises to accelerate their expansion.

Li Zaiwei said: "This time our investment department plans to divide into two groups, led by deputy general manager Pang Yi and deputy general manager and investment manager Wang Shanbin. One group is in Kuala Lumpur and the other is in Sin Chew. The listed companies of the core members of the consortium will sell, and at the same time, Xiangjiang will also make the Huang family's Xinhe Group unable to escape in the stock market."

Wu Jiankun, director of the Political and Economic Office, also introduced the situation of some major power families in Nanyang to the high-level officials, especially the relationship between the core members of the Nanyang Consortium and their opponents.

This time, Li Jianhui's team used to get in touch with these families as much as possible, and the two sides cooperated to jointly combat the Nanyang consortium's industry.

Fortunately, Li Jianhui didn't intend to join forces with local ethnic groups to attack the Nanyang Consortium, otherwise, the families of the Nanyang Consortium would be even worse.

Wei Li said: "This time we used to compete the most with the local ethnic groups. Although they may not be strong, but with the support of the local government, it is not easy for us to get in and get a share.

I hope that Li Sheng can arrange for a high-level executive to be stationed in the Malaysian market that we want to focus on, and to manage our Xinjian's industries in Malaysia in a unified manner. "

Although the Xinjian Group seems to have only a few, it has nearly a hundred subsidiaries. This is after Li Jianhui merged Wheelock Group and Hutchison Whampoa. The previous subsidiary of Wheelock Group had as many as two hundred. Multiple.

This is the current Xinjian Department. In the future, one China Resources will have more than [-] subsidiaries. I believe that there will be more Xinjian Departments.

This time in Malaysia, banking, securities investment, retail, shipping terminals, real estate, media and other industries will enter, and a general manager is really needed, otherwise each company will do its own work, which will not reflect the comprehensiveness of the Xinjian Department Advantages of industry groups.

Looking at the people present, Li Jianhui asked aloud: "Who is there who volunteers to be stationed in Kuala Lumpur to take charge of our affairs in Malaysia?"

It is naturally impossible for the big presidents to be interested, but some vice presidents are still more enthusiastic. After all, in Malay, they sit in one side and have a great right to speak.

Walker Horford, the vice president of Huangpu Shipping Group who is mainly responsible for the shipping business, said first: "Li Sheng, I am willing to stay in Kuala Lumpur to coordinate the development of major companies in Malaysia."

It’s no wonder that the other vice presidents are slow. The main reason is that the shipping business managed by Walker is the only company that needs to downsize this year. Now that he can go to one side, he naturally doesn’t want to stay in this position.

As for this Li Jianhui, he still remembers meeting him for the first time, and opposed him to reduce the fleet. His personal ability is still good.

Especially his British identity, let him sit in Kuala Lumpur, it is really conducive to the development of the Xinjian industry in Malaysia. You must know that Malaysia is also a member of the Commonwealth of Nations, so you dare not discriminate against him, and he will communicate better with the local government Some.

Seeing that no other high-level executives spoke, Li Jianhui said: "Then Horford will be our person in charge in Malaysia. From today on, Horford will step down from his position in Huangpu Shipping Group and become the vice president of the board of directors of Xinjian Group. He will be based in Kuala Lumpur and take charge of our Things in Malay enjoy fourteenth-level treatment."

The vice presidents present were quite regretful. If they had known about it, they would have spoken out first. The previous ones were not the point. The main thing was the [-]th-level treatment, which is at the same level as the group president.

In the Xinjian Department before, only Li Zaiwei and Wang Haichuan enjoyed full-time treatment as deputies, and now there is another Horford.

As there are more and more high-level executives in the Xinjian Department, it is quite difficult to advance one step further, especially from the [-]th-level vice president to the [-]th-level president, which is almost an insurmountable gap.
