The Wealth Empire Crossing the Hong Kong

Chapter 81 Joining Wheelock

At three o'clock in the afternoon on the second day, reporters from major media in Xiangjiang gathered in Wheelock Building.

The reporters present were quite surprised to see Li Jianhui and John Madden walking into the press conference together. They were still wondering why Wheelock Group suddenly held a press conference, but now it seems that Li Jianhui has nothing to do with it.

As John Madden announced that he had transferred his shares to Li Jianhui, and at the same time resigned from his position as Chairman of the Board of Directors of Wheelock Group and President of Wheelock Group, the reporters present fell into a brief silence.

They were all wondering if they heard it wrong. The Marden family is a symbol, one of the four major foreign firms, and has been in Xiangjiang for hundreds of years. It has always been an insurmountable mountain for Chinese-funded enterprises in Xiangjiang.

And now John Madden has announced the transfer of shares and will no longer hold any position in the Wheelock Group. This marks that the four foreign companies will become history, and Wheelock will become a Chinese-funded enterprise.

Those present are very aware of the value of this news, as long as this news spreads, it will immediately cause huge waves.

There are too many topics in it, the four major foreign companies, Li Jianhui, the Madden family, Xiangjiang British capital and Chinese capital.

They believe that in the next month, this news will be the most talked about in the streets of Xiangjiang.

Li Jianhui's reputation will rise to a higher level. With Wheelock Group in his hand, he is fully qualified to sit on an equal footing with the helm of the top families in Xiangjiang.

Who would have thought that one day the four major foreign companies would be acquired by Huazi one day, and who would have thought that the first person to acquire the four major foreign companies would be Li Jianhui, who was under [-] years old.

On January 1rd, this day is destined to write a strong stroke in the history of Xiangjiang. This day marks the end of the era of the four major foreign companies in Xiangjiang.

With the end of the press conference, the news that Li Jianhui acquired the shares held by the Madden family and became the chairman of the board of directors of Wheelock Group spread like a hurricane to every corner of Xiangjiang.

Niu Bijian, Shi Huaiya, Shen Bi and others were not only angry but also deeply disturbed by this.

Li Jianhui's industrial expansion is too fast, and they are very worried that their company will be shot in the near future.

When Li Chaoren heard the news, he directly chose to go home. Wheelock was also one of his plans. Now that Li Jianhui is in charge, he knows that he basically has no chance to get this company.

What annoyed him the most was that Li Jianhui took Wheelock without knowing it, and he made several plans to acquire Hutchison Whampoa but failed due to sudden changes.

The charter king is also unhappy, and he also has thoughts about the Wheelock Group. He started to cooperate with Wheelock a few years ago, especially in shipping port warehouses.

He didn't expect that before he made a move, Li Jianhui would take Wheelock into his pocket, making his plan aborted.

Regardless of what the outside world is like, Li Jianhui immediately held a high-level meeting of Wheelock Group after the press conference.

Announced that Zhang Qijun will be the director of the Group's Finance Department, and Su Jiangting will be the general manager of the Group's Administration Department.

As for other positions, Li Jianhui has not changed for the time being. One is that his equity is not enough. In addition, he bought in the stock market, and now only has a total of 29.6% of the shares, which is only 2.3% more than Zhang Yuliang's family. There is no absolute advantage. .

At this time, Wheelock Group mainly focuses on stability, so as to avoid the dissatisfaction of major shareholders and group executives due to too many changes.

Especially Zhang Yuliang, although he stated at the shareholder meeting in the morning that he would not interfere in the group's affairs, but if the group's top management changes frequently and there are several major shareholders poking around, it will be hard to say.

The main reason is that Li Jianhui is a bit poor now. He borrowed [-] million Hong Kong dollars from Daoheng Bank to acquire the shares in John Madden before. Without selling the London Gold List in the hands of Lanfeng Investment Company, Li Jianhui does not have much funds for the time being. Continue to buy.

All the loans from Dao Heng Bank have reached 6 million Hong Kong dollars, which has put some pressure on the current Dao Heng Bank. It is impossible for Feng Jingyao to give him unlimited loans.

Li Jianhui is currently running the Wheelock Group, and then waiting for the game company to slowly acquire shares in the stock market over the past 79 years, allowing his own shares to reach 33.5%, which is a relatively safe line in Xiangjiang at present.

As long as he survives this year, he will have enough funds to take most of the shares of Wheelock Group into his hands, making this group his pillar industry.

Especially in real estate and retail, which are also the two industries that Li Jianhui will focus on in the future. With Wheelock as the foundation, as long as the funds are in place, it can expand rapidly.

It's a pity that there are too many people who don't want Li Jianhui to expand at such a high speed. When Li Jianhui settled down to understand the operation of Wheelock, some people have already contacted Zhang Yuliang.

In particular, several representatives of Xiangjiang Yingzi were the most active. Shen Bi, Niu Bijian, Shi Huaiya, and Wei Li put aside their past grievances and communicated with each other with only one purpose, which was to resolutely drive Li Jianhui out of Wheelock Group .

The four major foreign companies are their pride, even if Wheelock is to be acquired, it can only be acquired by their British capital, not by a Chinese, especially that person is still a great threat to them Li Jianhui.

Zhang Yuliang, who is in Zhixin Holdings, feels that his head is getting bigger these two days. He invests in Wheelock more just to make money, and has no intention of managing Wheelock at all.

Even this time when Li Jianhui took over, he has no objection. He is even going to see if Wheelock Group can replicate the legend of Huihong Game Company, so that he will get on the giant ship of Li Jianhui and get rich rewards.

Who would have thought that the replacement of John Madden with Li Jianhui would cause such a big commotion. The big bosses, who are rarely seen, visited him one after another within a few days, with only one purpose, and that was to hope that he could stand up and take charge of the meeting Defeng.

Zhang Yuliang is very clear about his abilities. He is good at managing investment companies, but he is not good at being in charge of a comprehensive group like Wheelock.

He was also unwilling to offend Li Jianhui. After all, he and Li Jianhui were both Chinese, and with Li Jianhui's potential, it was completely unnecessary for a chairman and president of the board of directors that he didn't care about.

Seeing that Zhang Yuliang was not willing to stand up, Shen Bi, Niu Bijian and others proposed to buy the shares in his hands.

This made Zhang Yuliang hesitate. Since he invested in Wheelock Group, he has not made much profit, and it took more than a year to improve.

He is investing to make money, and selling shares is also a normal thing.

It's just that he knows that once he sells the shares to Shen Bi and others, he is afraid that Li Jianhui will have a hard time living in peace, and the Wheelock Group may also fall into civil strife.

Unable to make up his mind for a while, he simply adopted the procrastination tactic, and he was going to observe and observe.

Moreover, the current price offered by Shen Bi and others did not satisfy him, and he also wanted to see if these people would increase the price.

When the time comes when he really wants to make a move, he will give priority to finding Li Jianhui, and he has done his best to share his friendship as a descendant of Yan and Huang.
