The Wealth Empire Crossing the Hong Kong

Chapter 425 High-level Dispute
No matter what the Bryan government's intentions are, Li Jianhui still wants to make a move in Shamshuipo this time. On the next morning, Li Jianhui held a joint meeting of the executives of Wheelock Group, Xinjian Education Group, and Xinjian Medical Group.

Now that the government has proposed Xiangjiang Medical University, and Xiangjiang Capital will invest in running the school, Li Jianhui is not willing to miss this opportunity.

As for the other two universities, Li Jianhui is not prepared to intervene this time. At present, there are enough universities run by wholly-owned joint ventures under his company, and now more is to improve the quality of running schools, rather than blindly pursuing quantity.

As for the construction of Wheelock Plaza, in fact, Wheelock Group has long planned to build in Sham Shui Po, but due to the focus on developing the Southeast Asian market in the past two years, the construction plan in Sham Shui Po has been put on hold.

This time, there are some convenient conditions provided by the government, and I just entered here. According to the four-year construction plan, when Wheelock Square in Sham Shui Po is put into use, I believe that the situation in Xiangjiang will also stabilize and the economic development of Xiangjiang will speed up again.

In the densely populated Hong Kong Island and Kowloon, the Wheelock Group has no plans for a layout. The construction of Wheelock Plaza in Sham Shui Po is also to improve the group's layout in Hong Kong.

This is basically the last Wheelock Plaza that Wheelock Group will deploy in the Xiangjiang market. For a long time to come, Wheelock Group will not plan new projects in Xiangjiang.

The biggest problem at this meeting was whether Xiangjiang Medical University should establish an affiliated hospital and an affiliated hospital of traditional Chinese medicine.

Xinjian Education Group naturally hopes to establish it, and the reason is very good, for the school's clinical outpatient service and scientific research.

The medical group was immediately dissatisfied, and it was okay for the medical university to be managed by the education group. Now the education group actually wanted to get involved in the medical industry. Zhou Huamin, the president of Xinjian Medical Group, immediately expressed his opposition.

"Li Sheng, I insist that Xiangjiang Medical University should be managed by our medical group. After all, we are more professional in medicine than the education group. At the same time, it is convenient for us to manage the two affiliated hospitals, and it is more convenient for other hospitals in our group to cooperate with the medical university. Cooperation."

The executives of Xinjian Education Group were naturally unwilling to give up this opportunity, and its president Zhang Libo immediately retorted: "I admit that I really don't know much about medical skills, but when it comes to teaching and educating people, I think our group is more suitable.

The two affiliated hospitals are also mainly to improve the quality of school running, not for profit.

If you are really in charge of Xiangjiang Medical University, I am afraid that in the future, each of these students will lose their noble morals. This obviously violates Li Sheng's original intention of investing in education. "

"Brother Zhang, what you mean by what you said is that we managers are wrong for pursuing profits, and you don't even think about it. If it weren't for our brother companies chasing profits, where would the salaries of your group's employees come from and what would you get? To invest in building school after school."

"Zhou Huamin, I didn't say that there is a problem with the pursuit of profits by brother companies, but education should not be mixed with too many interests, and schools are not places to make profits.

The purpose of our school is to make these students have the spirit of honesty, trustworthiness, gratitude, and dedication. Only when these students have such a character will they contribute to the development of our Xinjian Department and even the Donghua Association in the future. He would easily leave the Xinjian Department and even the Donghua Society because of a little external interest.

If these children are mercenary at school, it will not only be a failure of our group's development, but also a loss for our Xinjian Department. "

Seeing that Zhou Huamin was about to refute, Li Jianhui knocked on the table, and after the meeting room was quiet, he said in a deep voice:
"Although everyone belongs to different companies, they are all under the Xinjian Department, and if there are disputes, they can be negotiated calmly.

I also know that you are all thinking about the development of the Xinjian Department, but there is no need to compete like this.

I am a person who likes to make money, but I don’t want to make all the money. You are the founders of your respective groups. You should remember my original intention of establishing these two groups.

Regardless of whether it is a hospital or our school, the main purpose is to facilitate the local citizens to go to school and seek medical treatment nearby, especially to facilitate the employees of our Xinjian Department and the Tung Wah Association, rather than purely considering profit.

Of course, your two major groups are not charities, and you still need to have the necessary income, but there must be a red line. You can’t just focus on making money. home group. "

After some discussions, Xiangjiang Medical University is jointly invested and managed by Xinjian Education Group and Xinjian Medical Group. The education group is mainly responsible for the teaching affairs of the school, and the medical group is responsible for the two affiliated hospitals, as well as the clinical practice and training of teachers and students of the school. scientific research matters.

As for the construction, Xinjian Construction Company is responsible for it, and there is no need for the two major groups to intervene in this aspect.

Li Jianhui also saw the dispute between the presidents of the two major groups this time. What he said at the meeting at the beginning of the year did not dispel the idea of ​​these presidents wanting to expand into industries other than their main business. live.

"Jianhui, are you still thinking about the meeting just now?"

"Jiahui, why do you think people's hearts are so hard to be satisfied? Not to mention Huihong, Lane Crawford, Watsons, Hutchison Land and other groups, just talk about the medical group and the education group, both of which are not small now. The market value and reputation can also be ranked first in Xiangjiang.

What I think is that these companies can be good at their main business, but these people always think about the rapid growth of their company's profitability and scale. "

"Jianhui, each of our groups is relatively independent and not small in scale, which naturally fuels the ambitions of the presidents of the major groups.

And to put it bluntly, if these group presidents are really content with the status quo and muddling along, I'm afraid you will have even more headaches now.

You also know that no industry can grow red. These group presidents want to develop across industries for the sake of the group itself, and this is not just the case for our subsidiaries.

If you look at the four major foreign companies in Xiangjiang, and then look at some well-known companies in the United States, many of them are developing across industries. Wal-Mart has also entered a food production company, which is inevitable. "

In Guan Jiahui's view, the main reason for the problems of Xinjian Group's companies is that Li Jianhui divided the industries too finely. For example, Huihong, Huaxin, Huahong, Phoenix, and Jingyi can completely become a group.

It's not that Li Jianhui doesn't know these things. In his previous life, some giant companies in the mainland also spanned multiple industries.

It’s just that the companies under the Xinjian Department are very different. Although these are independent companies in the eyes of the general public, within the Xinjian Department, their development should be based on the development strategy of the entire Xinjian Department, rather than making each company what it used to be. Wheelock or Hutchison Whampoa.

In the future, Li Jianhui needs to communicate more with the senior management of the major groups, so that he can look at the problem from the perspective of the entire Xinjian Department, instead of just thinking about the development of his own company.

Of course, Li Jianhui will not discourage the enthusiasm of these high-level development companies, but he must guide the enthusiasm of these people in the development of the company's main business, strengthen and refine its main business, instead of blindly looking at which industry has good performance. Profits just want to enter this industry, and he doesn't hope that one day all of his subsidiaries will be real estate and financial companies.
