We're building a super chaebol in Hong Kong

"Mr. Su, changing jobs is a big decision. Mr. Hu, the owner of Tiger Balm Company, has treated me well. I can't just leave Tiger Balm Company so easily. Let me go back and think about it. I'll give you an answer in three days at most!" Mairis was silent for a long time, and ultimately didn't decide whether or not to switch jobs.

Even though Su Cheng had painted a grand picture, in Mairis's view, this grand picture wasn't realized yet. What Su Cheng said was just empty words, good for show but useless.

On the other hand, the conditions offered by Li Jiacheng were very real. Although the strength of Cheung Kong Holdings Group was not as good as one of Su Cheng's groups, it was enough to show Li Jiacheng's sincerity.

Therefore, even though Mairis was somewhat tempted, he was still hesitant. In the end, he felt that it would be better to consider this matter carefully.

Actually, Mairis didn't care whether he worked in Singapore or Hong Kong. These places all had a large number of British people, and he was very adapted to the living environment of these places.

What he valued more was indeed the prospects for development.

Mairis was now in his early forties, the golden age of his career. Staying at Tiger Balm Company had indeed reached the end of his career, after all, this company was ultimately just a company with a total market value of less than 100 million US dollars.

Products such as Tiger Balm, plasters, and Jun Long Oil have limited markets. In Western countries, no one uses these things at all. Only in Chinese regions are they more widely used. Therefore, Tiger Balm Company is very likely to encounter development bottlenecks. Currently, Tiger Balm Company is in this state.

Next, Tiger Balm Company will either maintain its current scale or begin to decline.

As for developing to a larger scale?

Completely impossible!

Because the market scope of Tiger Balm Company is too small, so small that their company's products have almost covered all Chinese regions except mainland China.

In other words, if Mairis continues to stay at Tiger Balm Company, he will at most remain in this state. Working is all about making money, but if he wants a salary increase at Tiger Balm Company, it is basically very difficult.

In the future, if the market size of Tiger Balm Company shrinks, then his income will only decrease more and more.

Therefore, when Li Jiacheng invited Mairis to join Cheung Kong Holdings Group, although Mairis was not particularly moved, he did indeed have the idea of changing jobs.

And Su Cheng's invitation for him to join China Bus was the first time he was truly tempted.

The person on the other side was the well-known richest man in the world.

What tempted Mairis the most was Su Cheng's plan to integrate all the group companies to form a new group.

If it really integrates, this new group will definitely exceed 100 billion Hong Kong dollars in scale very quickly.

A company with a scale of 100 billion Hong Kong dollars, even in the economic center of the world, the beautiful country, there are only one or two such companies.

And those companies basically have multiple consortium shareholders.

Someone like Su Cheng, where the vast majority of companies belong to his sole proprietorship, or even if they are not sole proprietorships, they are absolutely controlled companies, and the market value of each company is not small. This situation is unique in the world and can be regarded as unprecedented.

And in such a super group, even if he is only a chief human resources officer, it is much better than being the president of a company with a market value of several billion Hong Kong dollars.

And Su Cheng is different. He is more like Western shareholders, delegating power to the management instead of liking to monopolize power.

In this regard, Mairis definitely prefers Su Cheng more than Li Jiacheng.

After all, working with Su Cheng, it is obvious that the peak of his career will be higher.

A higher peak means more challenging and more promising.

However, this matter was too important, and he didn't dare to make a decision easily. In the end, he decided to give himself some time to consider it carefully.

In addition, he wanted to go back and seriously understand the company, China Bus.

Although there have indeed been many reports about China Bus in the Singaporean media recently, he only knew about it and had not specifically studied the specific situation of China Bus.

"Mr. Mairis, do you know Mr. Wei Li?" Su Cheng asked.

Although Mairis said he wanted to go back and think about it, Su Cheng planned to persuade him today as much as possible, wanting to make a quick decision to prevent accidents from happening.

Zhang Qizheng's recent state is very average, really because he has to take care of two companies. He is better at managing finance and investment.

Therefore, Su Cheng must relieve Zhang Qizheng's pressure as soon as possible.

"Of course I know Mr. Wei Li. The circle of British professional managers in Southeast Asia is actually not very big. Mr. Wei Li also worked in Singapore before going to Hong Kong. After going to Hong Kong, he has not broken contact, so we can be considered ordinary friends. We also occasionally exchange corporate management experience, and the relationship is pretty good," Mairis said to Su Cheng quickly, not expecting Su Cheng to ask this question.

Su Cheng nodded. Knowing that Wei Li and Mairis knew each other, he should have let Wei Li persuade Mairis to change jobs first, which might have been easier to persuade.

However, his personal visit would ultimately appear more sincere, with enough sincerity.

"Mr. Wei Li was initially unwilling to work for me, but now, he is still serving as the president of Hutchison Whampoa Group, and his status has also increased with the increasing influence of Hutchison Whampoa Group around the world. Since Mr. Mairis and Mr. Wei Li are friends, you should also know how I treat him!

I am different from other Chinese bosses. As long as you work for me wholeheartedly and your ability meets my requirements, then I will delegate the management authority to the highest level. I think Mr. Mairis should not be able to get such treatment at Tiger Balm Company.

As fellow Chinese bosses, even if I am not very familiar with Tiger Balm Company, I can definitely guess that Mr. Hu of Tiger Balm Company has the final say in major company matters, and not your president. I wonder if I am right?" Su Cheng continued.

Mairis nodded, and his expression already indicated that Su Cheng's guess was correct. Although he was the president of Tiger Balm Company, in terms of power, he definitely did not reach the level of management of a Western company president. Many things were not his decision.

"Then doesn't Mr. feel aggrieved serving as this president at Tiger Balm Company? Moreover, with Mr.'s great talent, the Tiger Balm Company platform is ultimately too small. He should go to a larger platform to exert his talents!" Su Cheng said with a smile.
