Reborn in Hong Kong as a Tycoon

Chapter 136 Communication

After the board meeting, Lin Baicheng went to his chairman's office.There has always been an office, but no one has used it for the past two years. Wei Li had someone clean it up in the past two days.

Lin Baicheng called both Wei Li and Cheng Yufeng to his office.

After becoming the chairman of the board of directors of Hutchison Whampoa, that is, the chairman, the dialogue between Lin Baicheng and Wei Li will be more formal, and he can also order Wei Li to do things with a superior attitude as a matter of course.Although he was the largest shareholder before, but in the absence of a board meeting, his reputation was somewhat unfair.

Wei Li is the president of Hutchison Whampoa, and Lin Baicheng has no intention of replacing him for the time being, so it is necessary for him to communicate with Wei Li. At least the two must agree on the development of Hutchison Whampoa, otherwise Lin Baicheng can only replace him. Wei Li, separately looking for a president for Hutchison Whampoa.

"Wei Li, I have read about your development plan for Hutchison Whampoa, and now I will talk about my thoughts."

Wei Li listened carefully when he heard the words, he knew it was related to his career.Although Wei Li is confident that he will not have to worry about work even if he leaves Hutchison Whampoa with his ability, but Hutchison Whampoa has a market value of nearly 30 billion Hong Kong dollars and is one of the largest companies in Hong Kong. It's not that easy, after all, one radish is one pit.

"As for your idea of ​​reducing the number of companies under the group and selling companies that are losing money or not making much money, I personally agree. Hutchison Whampoa is still too big now, and it is broad but not good. Instead of doing everything, it is better to focus on a few The industry has made achievements.”

"The other thing is that you mentioned focusing on the development of the real estate industry. I fully agree with this aspect. We Hutchison Whampoa has the most land in Hong Kong. It would be too wasteful not to develop it. As for whether to develop commercial plazas, office buildings or residential areas, etc., You and the people below judge based on the land and the surrounding environment, I don’t need to say more about this, just leave it to professionals.”

Wei Li was also very happy to hear that the two development directions he led were affirmed by Lin Baicheng. This shows that the new boss is similar to what he thinks, and the company is still developing under his plan.

Lin Baicheng continued: "As for the trading business you mentioned, I think the company's current business development in this area is good, there is no need to invest any more, just keep the status quo."

"Mr. Lin, the trading business is our strong point at Hutchison Whampoa, and it is the leading business. Before Hutchison International merged with Whampoa Dockyard, Hutchison International developed with trading business. In this regard, we have many talents. As long as we invest a certain amount With the funds, I believe that the results will be produced soon.”

Wei Li reminded aloud that in his opinion, as long as enough funds are invested in Hutchison Whampoa's trading business, the results will be seen in a year or two, and the cost will be paid back in a few years. It can be said that it is quite sure to do well. Business.

"For the time being, the trading business is enough. The company will first vigorously develop the real estate industry and invest limited funds in real estate development. The trading business will be discussed in a few years."

Lin Baicheng couldn't tell the truth to Wei Li, so he chose to drag the word.

"I see. Since Mr. Lin thinks that the real estate industry should be vigorously developed, let's focus on the development of the real estate industry."

Wei Li nodded when he heard the words. The real estate industry is also an industry he is very optimistic about, so it is okay to vigorously develop the real estate industry first.As for the trading business, as Lin Baicheng said, first maintain the status quo, and wait until the real estate industry develops to a certain level before expanding the trading business.

Seeing that Wei Li was temporarily persuaded, Lin Baicheng felt relieved. As long as China and Britain start negotiations on the ownership of Xiangjiang for a few years, Wei Li should know that the trading business is no longer suitable for Hutchison Whampoa, at least not anymore. The need for vigorous development.

"I am going to personally intervene in the company's investment business, sell all existing investments, recover the funds, and then invest them together with the 5 million Hong Kong dollars that will be loaned from HSBC. I will personally decide on the investment projects."

Lin Baicheng said that in terms of managing the company, his ability may not be enough, but what is better to invest in and more profitable, no one can compare to him in this regard.

After hearing this, Wei Li couldn't help but said, "Boss Lin, isn't the loan from HSBC used to develop the company? Why are you investing it again?"

"Investing is to make money, but also to grow the company, there is no difference between the two."

Lin Baicheng guessed that Wei Lihui would ask, and he said: "As for the development of the company, isn't there a fund that can be recovered from the sale of some properties? These funds should be used to develop the real estate industry."

"Boss Lin, what investment are you going to use these funds for? Is it too risky?"

Although he knew that Lin Baicheng was in charge, Wei Li still asked because of his duty.

"You will know this when the time comes. You are the president of the company. I can't hide from you what kind of investment I want to make."

Lin Baicheng didn't immediately tell Wei Li what kind of investment he was going to use the funds for. He was the chairman of Hutchison Whampoa, and sometimes he didn't have to explain everything if he didn't want to.

"Mr. Lin."

Seeing that Lin Baicheng didn't intend to answer, Wei Li didn't insist, but he still felt that it was necessary to remind him: "You are the company's largest shareholder and the company's chairman, what kind of investment are you going to use those funds for? As long as it is not clearly related to the industry under your name, Mr. Lin, there is no problem. However, once your investment, Mr. Lin, has caused heavy losses, even though you are the largest shareholder, other shareholders can't oppose you, Mr. Lin. It's okay to add obstacles to Mr. Lin in the development of the company."

"Don't worry about that. The investment I want to make must be what I think can make money. After all, I am the company's largest shareholder. If there is a loss, I will lose the most."

Lin Baicheng knew what Wei Li meant, and he couldn't use tricks to make profits for himself, and use the money to buy properties under his name, especially at inflated prices. This would violate the "Company Law". Lin Baicheng didn't So silly.

What's more, once the investment losses are serious and the interests of other shareholders are damaged, they will definitely not give up, and they will have trouble with Lin Baicheng, which is not conducive to the future development of the company.

Wei Li just reminded him out of his duty. After Lin Baicheng expressed his understanding, he stopped talking.

Afterwards, Lin Baicheng and Wei Li talked about the company's development and management. After this communication, the two were able to cooperate better and develop Hutchison Whampoa together.

In addition to Wei Li, Lin Baicheng also plans to communicate with Richard Richard, Xia Boyin and other managements one by one in the next period of time, so that they can understand his development plan for the company, and at the same time recognize people and exert influence force.

Unlike Jupiter Toys, a company with a total value of less than 1000 million Hong Kong dollars, Hutchison Whampoa is a huge company with a market value of nearly 30 billion Hong Kong dollars. Lin Baicheng will work in Hutchison Whampoa for a long time in the future, until this company really gets his name. Label.
