The rise of a great power: starting with military industry

Chapter 482 Sudden accident
The next day.

Peninsula Hotel.

Liu Tao held a cocktail party here.

Executives from various subsidiaries gathered at the cocktail party. Most of them were very famous in Hong Kong. On the surface, the companies had no connection with each other, but in fact, they were all connected by a thread.

These people, all with smiles on their faces and wine glasses in their hands, were greeting each other.

Of course, if you observe carefully, you can see some tension. It turns out that there are open and covert struggles among various companies or executives!
A great man once said: There is no party outside the party, only imperial thinking; there is no faction within the party, only all kinds of weirdness!
This is true for the politics of a country and it is also true for the politics of a company!
This is true for all domestic companies, and it is also true for all companies in Hong Kong!
It is impossible for a company as large as Panshan Group to be without office politics. After all, the five fingers on the same hand have different lengths, not to mention that each of them is an independent-minded person.

Everyone has different starting points and interests when dealing with the same thing, so naturally they will come up with completely different judgments.

There are also various interest groups in the entire Panshan Group!
But as long as it does not affect the overall situation of the Panshan Group, Liu Tao does not mind some interest struggles within the group company. After all, only with competition can there be a sense of crisis and greater vitality can it be stimulated!

Of course there are, but the interest struggle in this area is concealed in the face of the rapid development of the entire group and is not so urgent.

The Southwest Ordnance Industry Group Corporation, Southwest Industrial Group Corporation, and Southwest Electronics Group Corporation are three group corporations that coexist with the same level and are led by Panshan Group. The general managers of the three group corporations are all members of the Panshan Group’s Party Leadership Group and possess enormous power in their respective systems.

In this regard, it involves everyone's right to speak, the ranking in the party group, and the annual allocation of resources.

In addition to this aspect, there are conflicts between the three group head offices and the various departments of Panshan Group Head Office!

After all, these departments are all under the jurisdiction of the three group headquarters!
In addition, there are conflicts between companies in the mainland and companies in Hong Kong.

The main reason for the conflict here is the huge salary gap!
It is the same company, but the salary gap for the same position is huge.

Humans are not saints, so faced with this kind of situation, they will naturally feel indignant.

Of course, in Hong Kong, different companies also compete with each other. Hong Kong is a British colony and is deeply influenced by British business rules, but there are still many differences in concepts between Hong Kong managers and European and American managers when managing enterprises.

There are also huge differences in concepts between managers in Hong Kong and those from the mainland.

It is impossible for companies in Hong Kong to employ all Hong Kong managers. There are also Chinese from Europe and the United States, as well as talents from the mainland.

This comes from different places, cultural education and other factors, and the concepts vary greatly, which naturally leads to the formation of different interest groups. This involves power and interests of all parties.

But no one dared to mess up at this party, because losing points in front of Liu Tao would be absolutely fatal.

Although Liu Tao rarely came to Hong Kong, they all knew that if he wanted them to get out, it would only take a word.

Liu Tao was like the emperor and they were his subjects.

Especially now that the board meeting is about to be held, no one will offend Liu Tao.

After all, there will be some very important personnel appointments coming up, and Liu Tao has absolute power over personnel appointments.

Who will be appointed and who will be demoted or fired all depends on Liu Tao's decision.

Towards the end of the cocktail party, the secretary whispered something in Liu Tao's ear.

Liu Tao's face changed, but he did not leave immediately. Instead, he waited until the cocktail party was over before returning to the suite.

"Are there any casualties?" Liu Tao washed his face. The cold water helped him regain his composure after drinking some alcohol and his confused mind.

It was a company's homecoming day, and the employees were walking on the street when they were suddenly attacked with sticks by several masked men on motorcycles.

"Three employees were severely injured and diagnosed with concussion, and ten more were injured and are now receiving treatment in the hospital," the secretary said. "Can you investigate who was behind this?" Liu Tao continued to ask.

During the period of 1982, due to the turbulent political situation, social security deteriorated somewhat. Robberies of gold shops, kidnapping of wealthy people, and all kinds of vicious crimes emerged one after another, but Liu Tao did not expect that it would now involve employees of his own company.

No matter what, this matter is not a trivial matter.

As for the special environment in Hong Kong, Liu Tao never thought about changing it all at once, because it was simply unrealistic.

There is a reason why police and gangster films in Hong Kong have such strong vitality and are everlasting.

The power of gangs and societies in Hong Kong is beyond imagination.

For example, there are three major gangs in Hong Kong now, including Wo Shing Wo, 14K and Sun Yee On, each of which has nearly members.

That is to say, with a population of six million in Hong Kong, there are more than 300,000 community members!

This ratio is quite exaggerated.

"There are no results yet!" the secretary reported in a low voice.

Liu Tao looked unhappy. He picked up his cell phone and called the security company.

He felt a sense of provocation, this was simply lawless!

He didn't know which gang was behind this, but that didn't stop him from giving it a hard blow.

Afterwards, Liu Tao made a long-distance call directly to the armed forces department of Panshan Group.

However, Liu Tao felt it necessary to increase the number of security personnel of the Hong Kong Security Company.

He originally thought that adding another thousand people this year would be enough to ensure safety.

But after such an incident, Liu Tao realized that it was far from enough!

Not to mention one thousand people, even two thousand or three thousand people would not be enough!
These people are simply lawless and act recklessly!
In this case, let them know that not to mention 300,000 people, even 3 million people will be useless!

After the founding of the People's Republic of China, a nationwide campaign to eliminate bandits was launched. In just a few years, all the bandits in various parts of the country were eliminated, and the banditry, a profession that had existed in China for thousands of years, was completely declared to be withdrawn from the stage of history.

No one knows how many bandits were wiped out at that time.

Now these 300,000 people seem not enough.

After all, these people, apart from a small number of guns, have various knives, sticks and the like. They are no match for the fully armed security personnel.

To be honest, when Liu Tao heard the news, his first thought was about these gangs and societies.

The jobs in Hong Kong that are most closely related to gangs and societies include nightclub security, mahjong parlor management, debt collection at loan companies, etc.

I'm afraid only these powerless people dare to challenge him.

After all, as long as they can get the money, these people are truly lawless, and Liu Tao has hardly ever used force, so I'm afraid these people won't be afraid.
