Reborn in Hong Kong: The Tycoon Grows Up

Chapter 174 Crazy Stock Market

Just because Bao Zixuan is not excited does not mean that reporters are not excited; it does not mean that Hutchison Whampoa employees are not excited; and it does not mean that existing Hutchison Whampoa shareholders are not excited. They are all beneficiaries of this wave of acquisitions.

The newspaper staff are excited because today is a very explosive day, and even Hu Xian has to admit that there will be no shortage of content in tomorrow's report. However, for Sing Tao Daily, it is not only about appeasing customers, but also about appeasing people’s hearts. Nowadays, employees have great psychological fluctuations if they are not comforted. Then the newspaper will face a serious labor shortage, and it will already feel that employees want to resign. This is a very dangerous thing. At this time, she was also wondering whether it was right to offend HSBC and Heiyun. If the matter was not handled well, the newspaper might go bankrupt.

Hutchison Whampoa employees are excited because they are now acquired by Bao Zixuan, the most generous boss in Hong Kong. Heiyun Group's employee benefits are the envy of everyone in Hong Kong. It would be perfect if they could catch up with Heiyun's employee benefits. Even with half of Heiyun's treatment, it would be much better than now.

Moreover, Bao Zixuan is the richest man in Xiangjiang. I am worried that I will not have a good life with such a boss in the future. So now Hutchison Whampoa employees are gearing up, waiting for the call of the new boss. Of course, there are exceptions, and that is the management team headed by Wei Li. They don't understand Bao Zixuan's character or the new boss's style; they have some worries about their future.

Excited shareholders can think that Hutchison Whampoa's stock will rise sharply when the stock market opens tomorrow, that's for sure. After all, when Heiyun was not listed, Hutchison Whampoa became the only listed company of Bao Zixuan. Everyone can always make a fortune by following this richest man.

After the acquisition was completed, Heiyun headquarters had sent a fax to Hutchison Whampoa, and Bao Zixuan returned to Hutchison Whampoa headquarters for inspection the next day. It is very normal for the controlling shareholder to require managers such as Wei Li to report on Hutchison Whampoa's operating conditions.

Wei Li knew that Bao Zixuan was a physicist and would not like to play tricks. So I just arranged for myself and my secretary to wait for Bao Zixuan in the lobby on the first floor. This was decided after careful consideration, and it was also a gamble, but he trusted his own judgment.

The next morning, after having breakfast, Bao Zixuan drove towards the Hutchison Whampoa headquarters. Yesterday, he had said that he would go to the Hutchison Whampoa headquarters to inspect and understand the company's operations.

Arriving at the Hutchison Whampoa headquarters building in Central, Bao Zixuan knew that Hutchison Whampoa's current situation was not very good. Otherwise, it would have been acquired long ago and it would not be my turn. Even the headquarters building has now been mortgaged to HSBC. At this time, Hutchison Whampoa's external debt is nearly 3 billion Hong Kong dollars. Although it is not outrageous for a country, it is still on the verge of danger. If you are not careful, you may be in danger.

After Bao Zixuan walked into Hutchison Whampoa Building, he saw a middle-aged British man watching in the lobby. After seeing Bao Zixuan coming, he immediately walked forward and said, "Hello, Mr. Bao. I am Wei Li, CEO of Hutchison Whampoa Company. Nice to meet you."

Bao Zixuan didn't expect that Wei Li would be waiting for him in the company lobby. It seemed that this British man was still a smart man and knew how to advance and retreat.

Bao Zixuan: "Are you the only one? Where are the other managers!"

Wei Li didn't know if Bao Zixuan was a little angry for asking, after all, the welcoming team was a little shabby. But it suddenly occurred to me that Bao Zixuan was not a high-profile person, so there might be a lot of temptation.

At this time, Wei Li could only answer according to his own thoughts: "All management are performing their duties, after all, the company needs to operate. I am the only one waiting for you because I will be your tour guide and accompany you to inspect various departments of the company; I’m afraid you’ve just arrived and aren’t familiar with it.”

When Bao Zixuan heard this, he agreed with Wei Li's idea. Enterprises don't need to engage in such vain things. As long as everyone does their job well, they are worthy of the boss, and the rest is not very important.

Bao Zixuan: "President Wei Li is right. This is how a company should be. There is no need to engage in such nonsense, it is meaningless. Now I am interested in your management of Hutchison Whampoa."

Wei Li knew that he had made the right bet, and it seemed that Bao Zixuan was indeed what he thought. This may be a common problem among men in science and engineering all over the world. They are low-key, pay more attention to practical results, and don't like to be too public.

In fact, this is something Bao Zixuan can't do anything about. Now the entire Heiyun Group has no talents at all. If Wei Li were not used, Hutchison Whampoa would not have the right personnel to manage it now. There are not many local talents in Xiangjiang, and the economy is developing extremely fast, so people with a little ability either start their own businesses or work in other large companies. Heiyun Group pays more attention to the recruitment of scientific talents, and the recruitment is basically in Europe, America and Japan. The recruitment scope of local universities in Hong Kong is very small, resulting in an extreme shortage of enterprise management talents.

Wei Li: "Next, I will take Mr. Bao to visit various departments to give you a simple understanding of Hutchison Whampoa, so that you can guide your work in the future."

Bao Zixuan followed Wei Li and started walking around the Hutchison Whampoa headquarters. At the same time. As soon as the Hong Kong stock market opened today, Hutchison Whampoa's stock rose like a rocket.

It has opened at 15 Hong Kong dollars and has grown to 30 Hong Kong dollars in less than two hours. The momentum has not stopped yet. Now everyone in Xiangjiang is optimistic about Bao's management of Hutchison Whampoa. It can be said that Bao Zixuan has made 3 billion Hong Kong dollars in 2 hours, and the stock market's rise is not over yet.

Li Chaoren is pained and happy watching the stock rise. He owns nearly 10% of the shares of Hutchison Whampoa. Although most of them are purchased with HSBC loans. It is very satisfying to have made a profit on the books in just a short period of time. However, Li Chaoren originally purchased the shares in order to obtain a controlling stake in Hutchison Whampoa. Now, no matter how much money he makes, he cannot satisfy his determination to run his own company. Sometimes making money is not so important. It mainly depends on the goals you want to achieve. not done.

Not only Li Chaoren, Miyamoto Hat and Yokoi Junpei are also extremely happy now. Especially Miyamoto. This young man who is not yet married already holds 1.2 million shares of Hutchison Whampoa. It can be said that after every salary is paid, except for necessary living expenses, everything is invested in Hutchison Whampoa shares. The result is that Miyamoto Hat's assets have now doubled. Already has a net worth of 30 million Hong Kong dollars.

This is very rare for a Japanese guy under 30 years old. If he had not come to Xiangjiang with the president, he would probably still be a small designer in Japan. It can be said that after coming to Xiangjiang, he has gained both fame and fortune. The only thing he can do is to work hard. Now Everything about life is satisfactory.

Now the overall market in Xiangjiang stock market itself is on an upward trend, and now the richest man Bao has made a strong move into Hutchison Whampoa. It also gave this century-old company a shot in the arm. In the future, as long as Heiyun Group leaks some business to Hutchison Whampoa, the company will not lose money.

After Bao Zixuan learned about Hutchison Whampoa's overall operations, salary structure, branch business scope and number of employees, he wondered whether he should reform it. The current Hutchison Whampoa was really bloated. There are more than 150 branches, many of which are unprofitable and have few prospects for future development. Whether it is necessary to retain such an enterprise seems to have been carefully considered. However, he has not changed anything about Hutchison Whampoa at present. He wants the company to have a smooth transition and will wait until he returns from the United States to make a decision. Now he does not have the time.

Shareholders don't have Bao Zixuan's thoughts, now for them. Being able to buy Hutchison Whampoa shares will definitely make some money, especially for Heiyun employees. Many game developers who have followed Miyamoto and bought Hutchison Whampoa shares for a long time are increasing their holdings.

Such consequences directly caused Hutchison Whampoa's stock to reach 42.88 yuan per share by the afternoon close. This is a very auspicious number, which has more than doubled from the opening. Hutchison Whampoa's market value has reached more than 17 billion Hong Kong dollars. Bao Zixuan made a lot of money in one day. It's surprising that many people like to go public. The money comes in quickly and the value grows faster.

On this day, everyone who invested money in Hutchison Whampoa came home with a lot of money, and those who bought Hutchison Whampoa shares left the Hong Kong Stock Exchange with a smile. This is the charm of the stock market. No wonder everyone still squeezes in even though they know there are risks.
