Traversing the courtyard

Chapter 567
Wei Dong smiled and said: "The appointment is approved by a majority of votes, go and invite the two ladies to come in."

The secretary of Qi Dezun, who was in charge of recording, went out and invited Ruan Tao and A Zhen in.

Hutchison’s board of directors is currently composed of chairman Yi Wei and Qi Dezun, vice presidents Li Chaxin Xia Boyin and Chen Maoxun, newly joined Ruan Tao and A Zhen, HSBC’s Flower previously held two votes, and there are also members of the board of directors. A vote from Defeng and a British investor just didn't come to the meeting.

Now it has changed from the previous 9 seats to the current 3 seats. Wei Dong added Ruan Tao and A Zhen, and now there are only four seats, but the company has [-] management seats. They can be replaced at any time. Now that Weidong has just taken over the company, Weidong still needs three people to stabilize the company. For the time being, it depends on the performance of the three people. If he really disagrees with Weidong, he can only be sorry and take the seat on the board of directors directly.

If all three are obedient, then Weidong will have 7 seats in his hand and can firmly control the board of directors.

After Ruan Tao and A Zhen sat down, Wei Dong said: "I propose that Ruan Tao be the executive general manager of the company, and A Zhen be the executive vice president. Let's vote next."

Wei Dong didn't say much, and directly submitted the appointment to the vote. Flower still voted against, Wei Dong ignored him, and the appointment of the two passed smoothly.

Wei Dongdao: "Very well, today's board meeting has been successfully concluded. Next, we will hold a meeting with the top management. Those who are irrelevant can leave."

Flower was stunned for a while, and then realized that he was the irrelevant outsider, and without saying much, turned around angrily and left.

At this point, Weidong has completely controlled Hutchison Company, and Hutchison, one of the four foreign firms, has become Weidong's.

Wei Dong first said: "I just took over the company, and I don't know much about the specifics. I think it's better to conduct a thorough investigation of the company from the beginning to the end, and sort out all the company's assets, properties, debts and other information, especially the many affiliated companies. The question is, I remember and remember only about 100 companies before, how many companies are there now?"

Li Chaxin, the vice president of the company, bit the bullet and said, "Now we have 370 companies at all levels."

Wei Dong was a little stunned. Qi Dezun started the company as if he was playing for fun, and said: "This is too much, let's check the company's family background first, and then we will discuss how to rectify the company."

Richard nodded and said, "It is indeed necessary to change."

If the company is not changed, the company will be ruined. Of course, the new chairman will move the company. Li Chaxin and others have already prepared for this in their hearts.

Weidong invited Li Chaxin to the office for a chat, and exchanged opinions on the development of Gansha, and then chatted with Xia Boyin and Chen Maoxun for a while.

Just as he was about to leave the office, Qi Dezun's former secretary came over to Weidong himself. His resignation has been approved by Qi Dezun, and he will not come to work tomorrow.

By the way, he handed over Qi Dezun's office to Weidong to use, but Weidong didn't like the European-style decoration style, so he kept Qi Dezun's office, and chose a large room next to it for renovation, as his office when he came over in the future.

These are trivial matters, Ruan Tao and Ah Zhen also have their own new offices.

When Weidong returned to his office, he received a call from Phyllis and said with a smile, "You drove our people away?"

"You know all this? If you don't drive them away, why don't you keep them for the New Year?"

"You are too, my uncle is angry."

Wei Dongdao: "If you get angry, you deserve it. By the way, have you received shares recently?"

"I took some shares from our family, but not many. The stock price is too low at this time, and no one is foolish to sell it."

"Okay then, I'll collect them one after another in the future, I'm not in a hurry."

This is Weidong's next move. It is very difficult to buy Yihe by himself. As a core member of the family, Phyllis will not be opposed by Niu Bijian. However, Weidong is not sure how much he can accept. For long-term matters, Weidong remembers that the negotiations in the 80s were not smooth, and there was a big transfer event in the foreign bank, and that was the best time to make a move.

"Well, I miss you, when will you come to my villa?"

"Little girl, let's do it tomorrow, wash it and wait for me." Wei Dong laughed.

"Big villain, you know how to bully me."

Wei Dong listened to the busy voice inside, this little girl just didn't want to be trained, she obviously invited him to play, why did she call herself a villain in a blink of an eye?

Qi Dezun was very angry at Weidong for sending his representative back, but Yihe only held 3 points of equity, which is really small.

I could only hold my nose and endure it.

Shen Porridge summoned Flower and asked about the process of the board of directors in detail. Yi Wei was replaced as the chairman, and two people were sent to the board of directors in reverse. The board of directors of the company and HSBC can only stare blankly.

Think about it and ask: "How much is Hutchison's total loan from HSBC?"

Flower, as the representative, was the clearest, and replied directly: "The total amount is as high as 8.67 million Hong Kong dollars, but they are all long-term loans, and the latest one will not mature until 77 years."

"It's all long-term?"

"Yes, I did it all. I remember it very clearly."

Shen Congee said: "Then we don't want any interest, let Hutchison repay the loan as soon as possible, if not, then give us the shares of Huangpu Dockyard."

Among the various companies under Hutchison, Whampoa Dockyard Company is the most valuable. It owns large areas of docks in Kowloon and Hong Kong Island, and has also won bids for container terminals. It also has a ship manufacturing base on Tsing Yi Island. The company was taken over by Yi Wei, so HSBC turned to Huangpu Dock Company. If it can be won, it will be a good high-quality company.

Flower asked hesitantly: "This is not good, will Yi Wei let Huangpu go? What if they just take the money to repay the loan?"

"I don't know if Yi Wei has so much cash in his hand. You just propose it at the board of directors. If it succeeds, it's fine. If it doesn't succeed, it's nothing. If you use the money to repay the loan, you have to pay interest. There is no discount for interest." .”

Shen Porridge came up with a good idea. If you use Huangpu Company to repay the debt, you will get a discount on interest. If you repay the loan in cash, you will charge interest normally. HSBC will not suffer any loss. At present, Xiangjiang's economy is weak, and it is easy to get cash back and lend out.

Besides, Heji Company was on the verge of bankruptcy, and he asked Heji to repay the loan in advance to reduce the risk of bad debts due to Heji's bankruptcy. No one would say that there was a problem with Shen Congee's job.

Flower quickly understood what Shen Porridge meant, and it was indeed a good move for Hutchison to repay the loan in advance. No matter which method Yi Wei chooses to repay the loan, HSBC will not suffer a loss.

"Okay, I will bring it up at the next board meeting."

Wei Dong didn't know that Shen Porridge from HSBC was interested in He Ji again, and he was in a happy mood these two days. Qin Xiayue, who happened to be out on a trip, came back and played at home for a few more days.

Of course, I also took care of Phyllis and others in the middle, hoping that more women would be able to conceive and give birth.

In the blink of an eye, a week passed, and the investigation of Hutchison came to an end, and the sorted materials were piled up on the table.

Ruan Tao introduced: "Hutchison has expanded aggressively before, and now it has as many as 376 related companies. The companies in Xiangjiang are better, but there are a large number of investments in Singapore, Australia, Sunset Country and other places. If there is a problem, it is estimated that it will be in vain.”

Looking at the summary, Weidong found that there are 376 companies, and there are more than 140 senior management personnel in the company. It is true that Hutchison has a big problem.

Ruan Tao said: "Hutchison's development is too fast, the management is out of control, and 145 senior managers make the company's structure complicated and chaotic. The group's information management and financial reporting are generally insufficient, inaccurate, and lack of coordination. As a result, the management cannot understand the following company problems. The seriousness makes it impossible to prescribe the right medicine to make a decision.”

He added: "The entire company's accounting and financial control is very poor. The headquarters can only estimate the profits of the various companies in the department through the report situation. I don't know how much these reports can reflect the authenticity of the companies below."

Wei Dong nodded and said: "There are indeed a lot of fish in troubled waters here, we just want to classify all subsidiary companies into several grades, and first shut down companies with serious losses and no future development prospects, and those that can be sold If it is sold, it will be canceled if it can be registered, and the land property will be merged into other companies."

First of all, we need to slim down the company. There are too many 376 companies. This is beyond the control of a normal company. Weidong first needs to rectify more unreasonable companies, at least to close down and reduce the number of companies by half. Then optimize absorption.

The rectification of Hutchison would take a long time, and Weidong didn't intend to focus on this.Think about it and say: "You get Tang Meina, Lu Meifeng, Wen Xiuyun and others to come out to practice and see who has the ability to stand out."

"Alright, it's time to train newcomers, it's just"

Wei Dong asked, "Just what?"

Ruan Tao hurriedly said again: "It's nothing, I'm going to arrange a high-level meeting for Hutchison."

Before taking action against the company, the company's management must be stabilized, and the company's reorganization must be explained clearly, so that these people cannot cause trouble in a short time.

After sending Ruan Tao Weidong away, he called Mi Xiaozhou in again, and said, "Do you know the listed companies under your name?"

"I know, it's Whampoa Dockyard, Hutchison, Watsons, Hutchison Real Estate, Metropolis Real Estate, Junjicang, Anderson and Harbor Engineering, and how much Hutchison owns in it."

Wei Dongdao: "In the future, we will strengthen the purchase of more shares in these companies, as much as we can."

"Okay, I understand, it won't disturb the market."

"Go ahead, I'll transfer Tang Meina and Lu Meifeng to Heji first."

Mi Xiaozhou's eyes lit up. When the two women went to Hutchison to work, the secretariat was the only one. It seemed that he was the boss's favorer.

But Mi Xiaozhou couldn't be happy soon, Wei Dong said again: "After they leave, you can recruit two female secretaries to help you."

"Oh." Mi Xiaozhou replied reluctantly.

He intends to find two uglier ones, but he is afraid that Weidong will reprimand him and lose points in Weidong's heart. However, if he finds two Mi Xiaozhou who are prettier than himself, he is extremely reluctant. A girl who is as beautiful as myself, even if she gave birth to a child, she can't compare to others. This is really difficult.

If you think about it, it's okay to bring Xiaodang and Huaihua sisters here, and Weidong will find someone else in the province.

Said: "Then let Xiaodang and Huaihua come over and be your secretary?"

"That's okay, arrange a car to go to the TV station to watch. I have been urging me to go to the Miss Hong Kong competition venue. I finally have time."

Mi Xiaozhou was dumbfounded, this blocked the way of the secretary, the boss immediately opened up the line of Miss Hong Kong, and even looking for a female secretary by himself is not as smooth and refreshing as Miss Hong Kong.

But I couldn't refuse this matter, so I had to arrange a car dully and watch the boss get on the TV station.

Miss Hong Kong's selection usually starts in autumn. Today is the semi-final stage. Wei Dong only showed up in the finals last year. After the ratings were counted, Shao Lao Liu happily told Wei Dong that the ratings had increased by several percentage points, so Wei Dong was also invited to participate in this year's semi-finals.

In the semi-finals, the top ten must be determined to participate in the final competition. At this point, there are no ugly girls left. Weidong is impressed by the many beauties. The quality of this session is indeed much better than the previous one.

It's just that things like fishing can't be rushed, you can only figure it out slowly, now that Wei Dong is already powerful enough in Xiangjiang, he must cherish his feathers so that he won't be cheated by others.

As soon as the filming ended, on the way Weidong came out, there were several beauties chatting with each other with an excuse, and they boldly stuffed a note over. When Weidong returned home, Qin Xiayue joked: "I called the company, Mi Xiaozhou said you went to record Miss Hong Kong's program?"

The technology is immature now, and the method of recording and broadcasting is still used. Qin Xiayue only asked this question when she heard the news that Weidong was going to record.

Wei Dong sat beside him and said, "Yes, but I have a discovery."

"What discovery?" Qin Xiayue asked curiously.

"I found that the girls in Xiangjiang are not as beautiful as my sister Xiaoyue, what do you think is wrong?" Wei Dong said with a smile.

Yan Jiedi next to her smiled and said, "Then why don't you hurry up and take Miss Xiaoyue into the house to love her?"

Qin Xiayue just wanted to ask Miss Wei Donggang about it, but Wei Dong couldn't continue the question after interrupting her, so she turned around and said to Yan Jiedi:

"I think you want to give Wei Dong another baby. I have approved this matter. Wei Dong, go give Xie Di an injection."

"Bah, I think it's Miss Xiaoyue who needs an injection."

Wei Dong successfully changed the subject, and watched the two quarrel with foolish joy, but he didn't intervene even if he wanted to.

After having dinner, Wei Dong asked, "Didn't you buy Hutchison recently? Do you want to help the company?"

Qin Xiayue and Yan Jiedi haven't been to work since they became pregnant. Now that the children are older, they don't need to be taken care of every day. Although there are many nannies, they are both mothers for the first time, and they are left to others to take care of them. Don't worry too.

Qin Xiayue thought for a while and said: "Xiu Yun seems to be pregnant, so I won't go, Xie Di and I can go to work, and if we don't go to work, we will almost forget what we have learned."

It was only after Weidong acquired the company that he realized that this was indeed a hot potato. Previously, the Qiuyu Group was established from scratch, and there were not many things to do in each stage, so Weidong hardly had to worry about it.

Right now, hundreds of companies are suddenly added, and there are a lot of things to deal with at once, so let's get all of our own people in to practice.

Wei Dong was surprised: "Xiu Yun is pregnant? Why didn't you tell me before?"
