The Oriental Group's annual meeting was selected on the last day of the year. Although the logistics department of the group directly contracted the entire Mandarin Oriental Hotel and prepared a full 200 tables for the entire dinner, it was still impossible for every employee of the group to have the opportunity to participate.

Because the scale of the Oriental Group is too large now, just the Oriental Research Institute and the Oriental Game Company have recruited far more than 5,000 people in Hong Kong. In addition, there are also a series of subsidiaries starting with the word "East", such as Dongfang Semiconductor, Dongfang Commercial, Dongfang System Software, Dongfang Application Software, and Dongfang Venture Capital, as well as Aikang Computer, CG (Computer Garden) Company, Hongkong Telephone, Jiahua Although banks, Asian Entertainment Holdings, etc. are listed independently, they are absolutely controlled by Li Xuan.

According to the Hong Kong Economic Journal, there are more than 15,000 people working directly for Li Xuan in Hong Kong. And if you include those who indirectly work for Li Xuan, such as the foundry that manufactures computers, game consoles, TVs and other electronic products for the Oriental Group; and companies closely related to him, such as the Oriental Group in the electronics industry chain. The total number of peripheral enterprises will exceed 500,000, accounting for almost one-tenth of the total population of Hong Kong.

Singapore is dubbed Li Jiapo by the outside world because since Singapore became independent in 1965, Lee Kuan Yew has been in control of the political situation all by himself, and he will pass on this legacy to his son in the future. And now some media have begun to publicly ridicule Hong Kong as "Li Hong Kong". If the Oriental Group goes bankrupt in an instant, the consequences it will cause will far exceed the stock market crash not long ago.

With the rapid expansion of the Eastern Group. It has been several years since the annual meeting was held in the name of the entire group, because the scale is really difficult to control. Like this time. The Oriental Group contracted the entire Mandarin Oriental Hotel, and only set up 200 tables of banquets. And among these 200 tables. Just to invite the partners, customers of various subsidiaries of the group, as well as VIPs from all walks of life in Hong Kong, it is necessary to reserve 80 seats.

And if the remaining 120 tables are evenly distributed among dozens of subsidiaries within the group, each company will have less than 10 seats. Of course, it is impossible to distribute evenly within the group, but even the Oriental Research Institute, which is most valued and favored by Li Xuan, has only been allocated 20 seats.

According to the practice of Oriental Group's annual meeting, each employee can attend the annual meeting with a family member. Therefore, even the Oriental Research Institute, in fact, only has 100 places to participate in the annual meeting.

And all 100 places can be roughly divided into three parts. One-third of this will be used to reward employees who have performed the best in the past year. The other third is reserved for senior management, as well as some special employees, such as those who will represent their companies in performing shows at the annual meeting.

The final remaining one-third of the places will be determined by lottery. You must know that the Hong Kong headquarters of the Oriental Research Institute has more than 3,000 researchers who are only engaged in technology research and development. That is, the probability of winning the lottery is less than 1%, which shows how difficult it is to get an invitation letter for the annual meeting!

The Mandarin Oriental Hotel, located at 5 Connaught Road Central in Central, stopped booking today's check-in as early as a month ago. You must know that New Year's Eve is for the hotel industry in Hong Kong. It has always been a small peak for occupancy, and the Oriental Group has paid a lot for this.

And starting early this morning, the entire Mandarin Oriental Hotel has been busy for the grand annual meeting of the Oriental Group. The entire annual meeting is divided into two parts: morning and afternoon. The morning is mainly for the meeting of the senior management of the group. Let's summarize the year 1987 that is about to pass. Then look ahead to a brand new 1988.

Listening to the dazzling performance data one after another, all the people who came to the meeting couldn't help but become enthusiastic. At the end of the morning session. Li Xuan came to the stage and made a brief concluding speech. He talked about the brilliant achievements of the Oriental Group in the past year. Thanks to the correct decision and wise leadership of the high-level team, and to the hard work of every employee!

And in return for your hard work. Li Xuan read out the new round of equity incentive plan to be implemented by the group on the spot. As the saying goes, no matter how high the honor is, after all, it cannot be eaten as a meal, and the rewards of real money and silver can win people's hearts the most.

Therefore, the whole morning meeting ended with cheers, because the middle and senior management here are precisely one of the biggest beneficiaries of the equity incentive plan. Everyone's wealth will soon experience a new round of skyrocketing, and this year-end gift from Li Xuan is naturally very popular!

As soon as the meeting ended, Li Xuan left in a hurry, so that many executives of the subsidiary who wanted to show their faces in front of him lost the opportunity before they could react.

"Is there anything important for Li Sheng today?" Han Peng asked curiously to Du Wenqiang beside him.

According to the original arrangement, in today's meeting, Li Xuanlai will make the most important year-end summary report. But last night, Han Peng suddenly received a call from Li Xuan, who should read the report.

Today, Li Xuan arrived at the scene almost in seconds. Han Peng was the second person in the Dongfang Group, so his role was naturally arranged next to Li Xuan. He could clearly feel that his boss was a little tired today, and he was a little absent-minded throughout the meeting.

Although the relationship between Han Peng and Li Xuan is also very close, the communication between the two is mainly focused on the business affairs of the Oriental Group. In terms of personal relationships, Du Wenqiang, who started from scratch with his boss, is obviously closer to Li Xuan.

In the current Oriental Group, Li Xuan has already handed over the operation of the group to the top management team headed by Han Peng, except for some content that he is particularly concerned about.

After receiving a call from Li Xuan last night, Han Peng specifically inquired with the relevant parties and did not find any special emergencies in the company. Therefore, he did not think that his boss Lin changed the arrangement because of the company's reasons, so he asked Du Wenqiang for news.

"You'll know in the afternoon!" Du Wenqiang didn't say the reason directly, but smiled mysteriously.

Although Han Peng was still confused, judging from Du Wenqiang's expression, he at least guessed that something bad had happened. So for Du Wenqiang's tricks to make a mystery. He had no choice but to smile, and didn't take it to heart.

The morning session starts at nine in the morning. Lasted nearly two hours. All the senior management in the entire Oriental Group, as well as the main persons in charge of each company. It's a rare opportunity to get together like this.

Therefore, after the meeting, everyone did not leave the Mandarin Oriental Hotel, but formed small circles in groups of three or five to continue to communicate. The hotel also arranged an exquisite luncheon in a small banquet hall, but Li Xuan did not show up, which also disappointed some people!

If the morning session was still a little serious, the afternoon bash turned out to be full of excitement. For ordinary employees, the annual meeting is a grand party, and the activities inside can be described as splendid.

"Oh, doesn't the dinner start at seven o'clock in the evening? Why are you calling me over so stupidly early!" A beautiful woman quickly found her boyfriend at the subway entrance in Central. He started whining when he walked in front of him.

"Do you think our Oriental Group's annual meeting is just a dinner? It's so superficial! How much do you think our group has invested in holding today's annual meeting?" Zou Wenrong said, proudly holding out two fingers.

"Two million?" His girlfriend pouted, showing a fuss-free expression.

"Two million? Ha, it's 20 million, okay! Who do you think my boss is! That's the 'God of Wealth Li'!" Zou Wenrong returned the other party's disdainful expression just now to the other party.

This woman is actually not Zou Wenrong's girlfriend, because although he launched a frantic pursuit offensive, the other party was detached. Women will always only worship the strong. And she thinks that she works in HSBC, and she doesn't like Zou Wenrong who works in Sun Hung Kai Securities.

As a pickup artist, Zou Wenrong knew very well that at such a time, he had to reveal something to shock the other party. Otherwise, this act of hooking women will be a failure. As the saying goes, when drowsiness meets a pillow, and Zou Wenrong is thinking that this can surprise the other party, Sun Hung Kai Securities was merged by Asia Securities.

Although Sun Hung Kai Securities just announced its merger with Asia Securities just a few years ago. Neither company has even had time to start concrete business integrations. But the employees of Sun Hung Kai Securities have nominally become a member of the Oriental Group family.

So Zou Wenrong and other former employees of Sun Hung Kai Securities. Naturally, like the employees of Asia Securities, they have the opportunity to participate in the grand annual meeting of the Oriental Group. Although Zou Wenrong has no chance to compete for the places reserved for outstanding employees. But he was very lucky, and he was lucky enough to draw an invitation letter in the lottery!

"You will be dizzy with all kinds of exciting programs later! And you are not a movie fan of Zhou Runfa. Brother Fa's brokerage contract is signed in Asia Entertainment! And Asia Entertainment Holdings is also a subsidiary of Dongfang Group. So Brother Fa is likely to appear at the annual meeting like me!"

Zou Wenrong looked at the girl next to him, whose eyes began to sparkle, and knew that his goal had been achieved. However, he continued to open it, and took out a thin, finely-printed notebook from the inside pocket of his suit.

"This is all the arrangements for the annual meeting in the afternoon. You can turn to the last page and take a look at the program catalog of the theatrical performances starting at 3:00 in the afternoon! Zhang Guorong, Tan Yonglin and Mei Yanfang are the three most popular singers in Hong Kong right now. , will perform on the stage on behalf of Asia Entertainment Holdings!" Zou Wenrong said and handed the booklet to the other party.

When Zou Wenrong hugged the girl who was stunned by his words and walked into the Mandarin Oriental Hotel, many employees had already arrived before him.

"A Rong, this way!"

Zou Wenrong suddenly heard a familiar voice calling him again, so he immediately turned his head and looked at it in private, and soon found that his colleague Gao Qiqi was standing not far away with a group of people, looking at him with a smile.

"This is my boyfriend Song Boliang, who works at Oriental Commercial!" Gao Qiqi saw the surprise in Zou Wenrong's eyes, so she pointed at a tall, handsome man beside her and said generously.

"Hello, I'm Song Boliang, thank you for taking care of my family Qiqi in the company!" Song Boliang extended his hand very politely and shook hands with Zou Wenrong.

"I and Qiqi are mortal enemies in the company. I didn't expect her to have such a powerful boyfriend, otherwise I would have obeyed her words long ago!" Zou Wenrong also responded with a kind smile.

"It's not too late to know now! I can tell you, my family, A Liang, used to be on the basketball team of the University of Hong Kong. He played very well, and he was not bad at hitting people! If you dare to do wrong with me in the future, be careful and I will let A Liang clean up. You!" Gao Qiqi raised her head proudly.

"Qiqi, why do I think what you said sounds weird? Ah Liang used to be on the college basketball team, but he was in charge of playing or beating people!" Another man next to him interjected, causing everyone to burst into laughter.

"These are Ah Liang's colleagues and friends. The one who speaks is Liu Chang, who works at Oriental Ventures! The beautiful woman with glasses next to him is his wife Han Ying, who works at Jiahua Bank! The other handsome guy is Han Ying. , works at the Oriental Research Institute. The beautiful woman next to him is his wife Fang Qianqian!

This beauty Fang is not simple. She used to work at the headquarters of the Oriental Group, but now she has resigned to become her own boss. She is a rich woman with a net worth of tens of millions! "Gao Qiqi began to introduce other people standing with her colleagues to her colleagues.

Gao Qiqi's boyfriends Song Boliang and Fang Qianqian are alumni of the same class of the University of Hong Kong~www.readwn.com~ The two have known each other since they were studying. Later, after graduating, he joined the Oriental Group at the same time, and during the induction training, Liu Wei, Fang Qianqian and Song Boliang happened to be divided into the same group, so they gradually formed a friendship!

"Introduce this beautiful girl next to you!" Gao Qiqi glanced at Zou Wenrong's hand on her female partner Qian's waist, and then glanced at Zou Wenrong with a half-smile.

"This pretty girl's name is Cai Tong, and she's already serving!" Zou Wenrong said, bringing his female companion into his arms, as if he was making a high-profile declaration of sovereignty.

"Who's your food?" The girl named Cai Tong let out a coquettish snort, then broke free from Zou Wenrong's hand, "Hello everyone, I'm Cai Tong, and I'm working at the headquarters of HSBC Bank!"

"Liu Wei is going to participate in the 'IQ Cup' bridge finals later. If you two are all right, just come and cheer with us!" Song Boliang pointed to Liu Wei and invited with a smile.

"Of course, no problem. In fact, I'm very curious about the 'IQ Cup', 'Dugu's Defeat Cup', and the 'Thirteen Unity Cup'. Who came up with these ridiculous names?" Zou Wenrong asked amusingly. (To be continued.)
