Reborn in Hong Kong as a Tycoon

Chapter 656 Change Your Mind (Two in One)

At around nine o'clock in the evening, the business jet that Haruko Mori took with the business executives from New York landed at the Los Angeles airport.

This business jet was purchased in the name of the Golden Fleece Company. Although it is not new and the price is not as expensive as Lin Baicheng's private jet at $4600 million, it still costs more than $1000 million.

The reason why Golden Fleece spent money to buy this business jet was because the company’s profits last year were too high and the tax amount was not low. Out of consideration for tax avoidance, it bought this business jet and several cars, so the business jet is a Under the name of the Golden Fleece Company.

However, although it is a business jet purchased by Golden Fleece Company, other companies under Lin Baicheng's name can also use it when Golden Fleece Company is not using it.

This time, Haruko Mori and others came to Los Angeles to participate in the party for business executives held by Lin Baicheng in Los Angeles tomorrow. The most famous painter also came.

What's more, in addition to the executive himself, there are also the family members of the executive.Some brought their wives, some brought their children, but no one just brought the whole family.

Lin Baicheng invited executives to a business party, without models, and it was not the kind of party that he liked to enjoy. Therefore, it was a better choice to bring family members to get to know each other and expand their network.

"Everyone, the person who picked me up is here, so I will take my leave first."

Just after walking out of the VIP passage, seeing Lin Baicheng's bodyguard waiting outside, Haruko Mouri immediately talked to the others and left with the bodyguard.

Although the big boss Lin Baicheng himself did not come, everyone recognized that the person who picked up Haruko Mori was one of the big boss's bodyguards. Many people had speculated about the relationship between Haruko Mori and the big boss before, and now it is even more confirmed. point.

"Everyone, let me take my leave first, see you tomorrow."

Vivien Kelly also greeted others at this time.

"See you tomorrow!"

Everyone saw Isabella walking towards here not far away, and knew that Isabella was here to pick up Vivien Kelly.

After Vivien Kelly left, some of the remaining people also said goodbye to each other and left separately.

"Bella!" "Vivien!"

Vivien Kelly and Isabella met and walked out of the airport.

After the two came outside the airport, they just saw a stretched Lincoln driving away, and they knew that the big boss Lin Baicheng didn't come over in person, but sent bodyguards to pick up Haruko Mouri.

As for why they are so sure that the big boss did not come in person, it is because they only saw a stretched Lincoln just now. If the big boss came in person, other bodyguards would definitely come too. At that time, what came over was a convoy of several cars. , instead of just a stretched Lincoln.

Isabella and Vivien Kelly walked towards Isabella's parked car.

"Bella, you, the president, came to pick me up in person. I'm so touched."

Vivien Kelly joked that she only had a smile on her face, but she didn't look moved at all.

Isabella started the car: "It's off-duty time, and I have a lot of free time, otherwise I wouldn't come to pick you up."

"It breaks my heart when you say that."

Vivien Kelly pretended to be sad, seeing that Isabella ignored her and didn't care, but said: "I don't know how long the chairman will stay here this time."

"It's at least half a month."

Although Lin Baicheng hasn't met Isabella yet, Isabella's contacts still allow her to inquire about such information that does not need to be kept secret.

"That's not too short."

Vivien Kelly said: "The chairman hasn't come here for a long time, and the secretariat has too much power. I don't know if you took the right step when you entered New Century Software, Bella. You are the president of New Century Software. , New Century Software is also developing very well, but the chairman’s career in the United States is not small. He has not been here for a long time, and the power of the secretariat has been enlarged. If you stayed, Bill Harveys is now The seat must be yours."

"It's not right or wrong, it's just that each has its own advantages and disadvantages."

Isabella has a different opinion: "The power of the secretariat has been magnified, but it is not easy for the secretariat to intervene in the affairs of various companies. I don't think the presidents and general managers of various companies are willing to see one more person managing themselves .Although everyone didn’t say it clearly, they tacitly restrained the secretariat and prevented the secretariat from interfering too much in the company’s internal affairs.”

"After all, the chairman has only been away from the United States for a few months, and it's not like he hasn't been here for many years. Therefore, although the power of the secretariat has been enlarged, it is also limited. It is no better than managing a company alone as the president."

"Take me as an example. I am now the president of New Century Software. I am the biggest person in the company except for the chairman. The chairman is the absolute majority shareholder of the company. Other directors and shareholders do not have much power. Basically, the entire company owns I am in charge, which shows how much power I have.”

Being in charge of a large company with a valuation of hundreds of millions of dollars is much better than the secretariat who can only slightly interfere with other companies but cannot control the specific development of the company.

Vivien Kelly reminded: "Don't forget what I reminded you. It is true that the chairman of New Century Software is the major shareholder, but even if the company does not continue to raise funds, it will go public in the future, and the chairman's shares will increase further." After a few years, the chairman will even take the initiative to reduce the shareholding and gradually reduce the shareholding ratio. At that time, he may still control the company, but the influence of other shareholders will be strengthened.”

"Bella, like me, you are a woman under [-] years old. The chairman trusts us and values ​​our ability, but others may not. Once the chairman is in the New Century Software Company It’s good that the company is developing smoothly under your management, but if something goes wrong, other shareholders will inevitably question your ability and ask the chairman to replace the president, and you may be forced to step down at that time.”

"so."

"I know what you mean, Vivien."

Isabella interrupted aloud: "I have always been very grateful for the chairman's attention, and I never thought about leaving the chairman's command. The chairman's career is so big, even if it's just for the broader room for future advancement, I would will choose the chairman."

"You just understand."

This is actually not the first time that Vivien Kelly told Isabella about this. The reason why she reminded her many times was because she was worried that Isabella's mentality would change after she took over the power of the New Century Software Company. It would be a big mistake to think that her own success depends entirely on her own ability.

Without Lin Baicheng's fancy, I don't know what Isabella will do in the future, but with her current age and work experience, it is absolutely impossible for her to become the president of a large company with a valuation of more than 5 million US dollars.

Once Isabella has a wrong perception, is blinded by power, and feels that the company cannot do without her, then Isabella will be in danger.

As a bystander, Vivien Kelly knows very well that Isabella is definitely not irreplaceable, and there are even too many people who can replace her. Therefore, as Isabella's best friend and partner in the workplace, Vivien Kelly It is necessary to remind Isabella repeatedly, lest Isabella go the wrong way.

Isabella knew that her friend was doing it for her own good, so she didn't feel impatient. She changed the subject and said, "Let me tell you one more thing. The chairman asked Bill Harveys to do something. Bill Harveys didn’t do well and was reprimanded by the chairman. But the chairman gave him a chance, if he doesn’t do well this time, I don’t think he can continue to sit as the director of the secretariat.”

"Is there such a thing?"

Vivien Kelly couldn't help being a little surprised, and said, "I don't know who will take over after Bill Hawes is transferred."

Isabella said: "Catherine is absolutely impossible. Except for her, everyone else in the Secretariat has a chance."

"It would be nice if Bill Harveys stepped down. At that time, he would be marginalized, and those who moved closer to him would regroup." Vivien Kelly said.

"Hopefully Jill can seize the opportunity when the time comes."

If Bill Harveys steps down, Isabella and the others have no way of exerting influence on their successors. What they can do is to try their best to help their partner Jill Kwiss show his abilities.

"I'm afraid that Haruko Mori will exert additional influence."

Among the assistants of the secretariat, of course, there are also some who are attracted by Haruko Mori. Although they are not subordinates to Haruko Mori, they are also close to Haruko Mori. Once Bill Harves steps down, Haruko Mori will definitely help her partner, and Haruko Mori Haruko has a special relationship with the chairman, they can't influence the chairman's decision, but that doesn't mean Haruko Mori can't.

When the abilities of the two people are not much different, it is very important whether there is someone close to exert influence on the big boss.

"This is also impossible."

Isabella shook her head helplessly.

Vivien Kelly glanced at Isabella, and didn't say anything to make Isabella take the initiative to become the big boss woman. It is enough to say this kind of thing once or twice, and too much will only make Isabella think that she wants her Selling one's body aroused Isabella's disgust.Anyway, Isabella is not a child, she knows what to do, she should have her own plan.

at the same time.

Haruko Mori, who was mentioned by Isabella and Vivien Kelly, came to a villa in Los Angeles in an extended Lincoln.

This is not Beverly Hills, but it is also a villa under the name of Lin Baicheng. It is here that Haruko Mori and Lin Baicheng met before.

"Sincerely!"

When Haruko Mori walked into the villa, she saw Lin Baicheng who was probably looking at some document.

"Haruko, you're here."

Lin Baicheng waved to Haruko Mori.

Haruko Moori walked over and sat next to Lin Baicheng, picked up a document on the table and looked at it: "This is a company in England, why is the business situation so poor?" Although she just read it, she took the lead in browsing the financial documents Based on the revenue and profit data, it was immediately judged that this is a very poor company.

Lin Baicheng did not hide from Haruko Mori: "I am letting Hutchison acquire Bentley Motors in England, and I am preparing to let Hutchison enter the auto industry. Regarding the acquisition of Bentley Motors, during the negotiations with the Prime Minister's Office, Hutchison agreed to some conditions. It is necessary to acquire several non-performing assets companies with a total of no less than 7700 employees, which is the price Hutchison must pay.”

"Since these enterprises are non-performing assets, the operating conditions of the enterprises are of course not good, but I still want to look for them to see if there are any enterprises with a good foundation that may be revived. Now that the enterprises have been acquired, I have to try anyway. If it works well, it’s not a loss.”

"It is not an easy task for Cheng Jun to let Hutchison Huang enter the auto industry."

Haruko Mori pondered for a while when she heard the words, and then said: "Although I haven't investigated, I also know that Japanese cars in our country account for at least [-]% of the current auto industry market. In addition, American German cars, Hutchison's acquisition of Bentley Motors wants to break through. It's not an easy thing."

"Bentley Motors' operating conditions are not comparable to those on the table. The revenue and profit are positive. It has occupied a certain market in the UK and has a certain sales volume in Europe. Therefore, after the acquisition of Bentley Motors, as long as Hutchison Huang does not operate Poor, there should be no problem for Bentley to gain a foothold."

Lin Baicheng explained with a smile, and then said: "As for whether it can compete with other car companies in the markets of other countries around the world, it depends on the company's future development. With the economic development of various countries, people's living standards are getting higher and higher. Cars will only become more and more popular, as long as Bentley Motors can survive, even if it can’t be the top in the industry, it’s okay to generate a certain amount of profit every year.”

"Since you already have a plan, Mr. Cheng, I won't say more."

Haruko Mori nodded slightly when she heard the words. Since Lin Baicheng had thought about it, she didn't need to say more.

"Cheng Jun, Wei Li is now in the top class of He Huang. I remember you said before that Wei Li will be transferred from He Huang, but the scale of He Huang is getting bigger and bigger. You can provide Wei Li with a choice of position." Fewer and fewer."

Lin Baicheng transferred Wei Li from Hutchison Whampoa. If Wei Li did not make a mistake, he had to prepare a good seat for Wei Li.

If Wei Li is dismissed or demoted for no reason, the negative impact will be too great. Others will definitely worry that Lin Baicheng will treat them like this in the future. Some talents may not be willing to do things for Lin Baicheng, or dare not do things. It's too good, the promotion is too fast, so there is no promotion in the future, and then it falls to the same end as Wei Li,
Therefore, Lin Baicheng transferred Wei Li away, and under the circumstances that Wei Li had made no mistakes and was under the retirement age, he had to prepare a suitable seat for Wei Li.However, Hutchison Whampoa has a market value of tens of billions of Hong Kong dollars, numerous subsidiaries, and a total of tens of thousands of employees. It is not so easy to find a suitable position for Hutchison Whampoa's Daban Weili.

"I have plans for this at that time, and I am not in a hurry to let Wei Li leave now, I am going to let Yufeng polish it for a few more years."

The last 'prenuptial agreement' incident made Lin Baicheng suspicious of Cheng Yufeng, so he decided not to promote Cheng Yufeng so quickly, and planned to observe Cheng Yufeng for a few more years.

In this way, there was no need to rush to transfer Wei Li from Hutchison Whampoa. The original reason for transferring Wei Li was to make room for Cheng Yufeng.

Haruko Moori was a little puzzled why Lin Baicheng changed his mind when he heard the words, but this was not a bad thing for her, so she didn't ask the reason, lest something wrong would make Lin Baicheng change his mind again.
