Chapter 182 A market is created

Zhang Ziwen met the apprentice recommended by Luo Dabao, a forty-seven-year-old middle-aged man with a wide body and a fat body. His complexion was weak and he could tell that he was not in good health, which was actually caused by diabetes.

If you take medicine on time and manage your diet, your condition can be controlled, but it will be difficult to continue to develop in your career. Retirement and recuperation are a wise choice.

When public officials reach a certain level and want to move up, the threshold will become higher and higher. They not only compete for ability, background, and team, but also start to compete physically.

All the above choices are correct. Poor health, low energy, and inherently incapable of high positions.

With Luo Dabao's endorsement, Qi Xiongwei in front of him naturally gained Zhang Ziwen's trust.

The mainland branch has not yet started business. It only holds a license and has no authority to manage overseas affairs. It is in the difficult stage of pioneering.

Zhang Ziwen directly appointed Qi Xiongwei as the president of the mainland company. He enjoyed the salary of assistant director of the head office and could use the registered capital in the accounts of the mainland company to manage the mainland company on his behalf.

See how much business Qi Weiwei can bring in, and finally decide on his position.

The pioneering period is the most testing period, and it is also the best period for delegating authority. After a few months of observation, if you really don't make a name for yourself, it is very simple to be transferred to another department and raised as a mascot, or to be fired altogether.

"Sheng Zhang, the acquisition of Pioneer Company has come to an end. The company has taken over all Pioneer Company's assets and personnel. The court bidding price is 30 million Hong Kong dollars."

"The court is considering whether to package it for auction."

The remaining four British-funded companies have an average annual turnover of less than 10 million each. Who can afford to bid?

Pioneer's total profit last year was 70 million. Compared with the value of the entire company, it was sold at a naked discount.

However, it suffered huge losses during the Southeast Asian financial crisis, and even its headquarters, Jardine House, which was once the tallest skyscraper in Hong Kong, was used to pay off debts.

But the biggest fans in the security industry are political fans. Pioneer Company failed in the political struggle, and the result has long been obvious.

It's not that "Yihe" is not good, a skinny camel is bigger than a horse.

After signing the contract with Qi Hongwei, he took the bus back to Hong Kong Island that afternoon and met the manager in charge of the acquisition project at the Empire Center.

Jardine Security is the security company on Hong Kong Island of the British-owned foreign company "Jardine Matheson". Jardine Matheson is an old British-owned company. It started with opium during World War I and later switched to real estate, retail and finance.

Jardine Matheson & Co. was in a state of collapse on Hong Kong Island, and the entire group was in decline. It became an "established brand" in the investment circle and was the backdrop for various news.

The acquisition project manager smiled, bowed slightly, and said respectfully: "Sheng Zhang, but in the auction case of Yingjie and Longwei, Jardine Security received an investment of 80 million Hong Kong dollars from the headquarters and started bidding."

"Jack Security applied for a loan of 40 million Hong Kong dollars from HSBC, and the remaining two companies, Huanhai and Changkong, also became active and actively competed for bids."

Even if they take pictures of Pioneer's mess, they won't be able to sell it, so the value will naturally be low because there is only one buyer!
"This price is relatively ideal. Not only is it not higher than planned, it is also down by eight points." Zhang Ziwen sat in the office, took out a cigar, nodded slightly, and threw away the lighter.

However, due to the debt crisis of the Hong Kong Island branch, real estate and retail were separated separately, and the limelight was no longer in the spotlight.

Jardine Security is also a branch of a foreign company. In the early years, it relied on its influence to easily obtain a license. The purpose was not to make money in the security market.

Instead, it simply does capital escort business for foreign banks, diluting the company's costs. There has been little development over the years, with a total of only more than 300 employees. Zhang Ziwen was very puzzled: "What's wrong with the old antiques from Yihe who come out to grab food? A good British gentleman doesn't do anything but comes out to do hard work."

Historically, Jardine Security will merge with Denmark's "G4F" to become the world's largest security company "G4S". The suffix S is the abbreviation of Jardine Security.

This also allowed "G4S" to obtain a security license from Hong Kong Island and use it as a basis to develop business in East Asia. It did not get much domestic business, but it did gain a lot of orders in Taiwan.

Liang Minye said from the side: "Yesterday, the explosion that occurred in a building in Central was determined to be the MI6 office based on information from informants."

"Although this case was not reported, it shocked the whole of Hong Kong. A task force flew from London overnight to take over the rest. This incident also made many British judges, businessmen, and politicians on Hong Kong Island aware of the importance of personal safety. sex."

"In the morning, the company received inquiries from many corporate customers, and I think we can also come to the remaining companies."

Zhang Ziwen suddenly realized that it was MI6's misfortune that made the ghost guys completely realize that Hong Kong Island was no longer safe, and they could not tolerate their arrogance, so they began to spend money on private security.

When pro-China businessmen can remove their bodyguards, foreign ghost guys are destined to spend the money.

Sure enough, if there is no market, create a market. Riot Games has really created a market.

Moreover, foreign ghosts are richer. No wonder companies such as Jardine Matheson became active, either with capital injections from the headquarters or bank loans.

All want to get cheap assets at auctions and quickly expand the company to gain business.

"The direction of the wind is uncertain." Zhang Ziwen held his cigar and sighed with emotion.

Fortunately, the court decided to split the auction. After Riot Games bought the employee contracts of the two companies, it gave up part of its business, and the division of the body finally came to an end.

Judging from the customer map in Hong Kong, it is impossible to monopolize the market. With the company's current cash flow, it is even more difficult to acquire all three companies.

As long as we always maintain our advantage over the four British companies and manage our basic market well, fighting for a market that does not belong to us is tantamount to taking the wrong route, picking up sesame seeds and losing the watermelon, and it is not worth it.

Just think of it as a bone thrown to a wild dog.

Jardine Security has a small number of employees on Hong Kong Island, but it has developed very well in its ancestral home and is the oldest security company in the Commonwealth.

If we value the Hong Kong Island market, we have the ability to send people to develop business.

"If it weren't for antitrust laws, I would really want to acquire all British companies."

"But it is not necessary or possible to acquire security companies in Hong Kong now. In the future, maybe we can acquire companies to enter other countries?" Zhang Ziwen tasted the sweetness through acquisitions and found that if security companies want to make money, they must also learn to use financial tools. .

If used properly, you can do not only domestic and African business, but also European, American, and capitalist business.

It doesn't matter if you don't issue a license. If you acquire a small company that has a license but is poorly managed, wouldn't it be possible to go public through a backdoor listing?

"This idea can be studied carefully. First let Madam Liang set up a team to pay special attention to foreign security companies." Zhang Ziwen made a decision and immediately wrote a memorandum and sent it to his secretary for arrangements.
