We're building a super chaebol in Hong Kong

Wei Li's management team was full of talent, including Wei Li's deputy and Hutchison Whampoa Vice President Richard Smith, Business Director Herbert Einhorn, and Political Affairs Director Peter, all of whom were rare management elites in Hong Kong.

With their assistance, Wei Li managed Hutchison Whampoa with greater ease.

This also allowed Wei Li to grasp the overall development of the group more easily, without having to do everything himself.

"That's perfect. Mr. Wei Li should know that I have already acquired Hong Kong Electric Group, right?" Su Cheng said with a smile.

"Of course, who in Hong Kong doesn't know? Boss, congratulations!" Wei Li said.

"That's why I came to you this time. I want you to help me manage Hong Kong Electric Group for a period of time, serving as the president of Hong Kong Electric Group. This period will be about three to six months. During this time, you will receive your salary from Hong Kong Electric Group as usual. I wonder what you think, can you do it?" Su Cheng asked.

"No, I'm going to kick him out!" Su Cheng said with a smile!

"Why?" Wei Li was even more surprised.

"My people have found out some things. During his tenure at Hong Kong Electric Group, Budd used his position to profit, and the amount of profit was not small. Do you think I can continue to use such a person?" Su Cheng said directly.

Telling Wei Li these things was actually a warning to Wei Li, to let him know that Su Cheng could know his actions at any time.

Only by doing things properly and managing the group well without any distractions would Su Cheng welcome him.

Wei Li nodded and began to consider the pros and cons.

If he concurrently served as the head of Hong Kong Electric Group, he would inevitably have to spend some time there, which would easily neglect matters at Hutchison Whampoa.

At that time, in order to manage the two groups well, Wei Li would definitely have to spend more time at work, and overtime would be inevitable.

Seeing Wei Li frowning and thinking, Su Cheng continued, "Oh, right, I have found a deputy for you. He is a good talent and will take office as the vice president of Hong Kong Electric Group until he can truly helm Hong Kong Electric Group, then you can step down as the president of Hong Kong Electric Group. So, you shouldn't need to spend too much time. He is a person with a very strong learning ability."

"Who is it? Do I know him?" Wei Li asked in surprise.

There were only so many famous professional managers in Hong Kong. If it was someone from Hong Kong, Wei Li felt that he should know him.

"Ma Shiming, from Leicester, England, is currently the sales director of Jardine Air Conditioning under the Jardine Matheson Group. I don't think Mr. Wei Li knows him," Su Cheng said with a smile.

"A department head of a subsidiary?" Wei Li said in surprise, and at the same time, he couldn't help but feel a little contempt for Ma Shiming in his heart.

His expression was all in Su Cheng's eyes, so Su Cheng said with a smile, "Mr. Wei Li, don't underestimate him. Mr. Ma is not famous, that's only because Jardine Matheson is blind. In fact, Mr. Ma has great talent. I started paying attention to him a few years ago. I think his talent is no worse than yours. After Mr. Wei Li meets and chats with him, you will know how capable he is."

Hearing Su Cheng's words, Wei Li immediately put down the contempt in his heart.

After all, everyone knew that Su Cheng was a person who was good at discovering talents.

Because of this, Su Cheng's companies had many excellent management talents.

Since he could be valued by Su Cheng and planned to cultivate him into the helmsman of Hong Kong Electric Group, he must have his outstanding qualities.

"Boss, I would like to meet this Mr. Ma Shiming before making a decision!" Wei Li thought for a while and said.

If Ma Shiming was really a rare management talent, Wei Li would agree to serve as the temporary president of Hong Kong Electric Group.

Because, with a capable deputy to help, his work would be much easier.

But if Ma Shiming's talent was not as good as he imagined, Wei Li planned to reject Su Cheng's invitation.

Because, without the help of a good deputy, Wei Li would need to invest more energy.

In this way, he would not be able to take care of Hutchison Whampoa.

From this point of view, Wei Li was an extremely responsible professional manager.

Hearing Wei Li's words, Su Cheng nodded and said, "Okay, let's do this, I will call Mr. Ma out now, and you can talk to each other then."

After speaking, Su Cheng directly picked up the landline phone in the office and called Ma Shiming.

Today is December 3rd, which is Sunday.

At this time, it was Ma Shiming's rest time, so he should be able to be found at this time.

Unexpectedly, it was Ma Shiming's wife who answered the phone.

When she learned that it was for Ma Shiming, Ma Shiming's wife called out Ma Shiming, who was still reading in the study.

"Boss, did you call me for something?" Ma Shiming asked when he heard Su Cheng's voice.

After agreeing to Su Cheng's invitation, he directly called Su Cheng boss instead of Mr. Su.

"Mr. Ma, are you free now?" Su Cheng asked back.

"I'm free anytime today!" Ma Shiming nodded and said.

"Then come to Hutchison Whampoa Group headquarters in Central now. Mr. Wei Li and I are waiting for you here," Su Cheng said with a smile.

"Okay, I'll leave immediately and will be there in about 20 minutes," Ma Shiming said directly.

"Waiting for you!" Su Cheng said and hung up the phone.

"Mr. Wei Li, I have already made an appointment with Mr. Ma Shiming. You two can chat with each other then, so you can understand Mr. Ma's talent!" Su Cheng said with a smile.

"Yeah!"

About twenty minutes later, Ma Shiming came to Wei Li's office under the leadership of a front desk lady.

Both of them were foreigners, and their ancestral homes were both in England, so communication was more convenient.

"Mr. Ma, the reason I asked you to come this time is to let you and Mr. Wei Li understand each other and talk about your ideas. I have something to go out for, so I will leave it to you here," Su Cheng said directly to Ma Shiming.

Su Cheng didn't plan to intervene too much in their conversation, so leaving the space for them was the most appropriate.

Moreover, Su Cheng also believed that with Ma Shiming's talent, it should not be difficult to conquer Wei Li.

After all, Ma Shiming himself was a person who was good at making friends of all kinds.

"Okay, boss." Ma Shiming nodded, not at all nervous.

The friends he had made included even British princes and direct descendants of the Rothschild family, and they were all convinced by him. Naturally, Ma Shiming was not flustered by the current situation.

Su Cheng's words also let him know the purpose of coming today.
