Reborn in Hong Kong: The Tycoon Grows Up

MacLehose and Bao Zixuan's dinner at the Peninsula Hotel ended quickly. Bao Zixuan achieved his goal. He just wanted the mainland construction team to enter Xiangjiang to build Yulin Institute of Technology. After all, the drawings had been completed. As for the land that can be purchased in the deep sea for subsequent development, he did not force more land in Xiangjiang. This will not only speed up school construction, but also provide job opportunities for more mainland workers.

MacLehose knew that Heiyun was only putting the simplest labor-intensive industries into the deep sea, which made him feel relieved. As for Bao Zixuan's request to invite construction teams from the mainland, he also knows that the labor force in Xiangjiang is indeed very high, and it is a very good thing that workers from the mainland can now come over to speed up the construction. To be honest, Bao Zixuan applied in the name of Construction University, otherwise it would be hard to say if it were someone else.

This time I came back on a tight schedule. I was arranging the construction of deep-sea factories and hotels, going to the mainland to explore for rare earth minerals, and purchasing smelting equipment in the Soviet Union. I was also coordinating the 10,000 construction workers sent from the mainland to enter the Tian Shui Wai University to build a university.

After everything was sorted, Bao Zixuan was ready to leave for Europe. His first stop was the UK. He was going to Oxford University to collect his degree certificate. In fact, he could have gotten it long ago. However, Oxford University required that he must come in person. Bao Zixuan, who was pressed for time, had no choice but to go to the UK before the German exhibition.

Bao Zixuan flew directly from Xiangjiang to London, which is only an hour's drive from Oxford. After two years, Bao Zixuan returned to the UK. This time he wanted to go to Germany immediately after finishing his business in the UK. I don’t want to add too much detail here, but many things often don’t develop as expected.

When Bao Zixuan arrived at the London International Airport in England, it was exactly 12 noon, and staff from Heiyun's British branch were already waiting for him at the airport.

Heiyun had only one office in the UK before. Later, after hearing some rumors and thinking that it still needed to do more superficial work, the office was upgraded to a branch and became the European Heiyun headquarters. The status is equal to that of the United States and Japan, which is one of the reasons why the British feel that Bao Zixuan can still strive for it.

The current head of European Black Cloud is Hiroshi Hashimoto, who attended a business management course at Harvard. I felt that my thoughts and concepts could no longer keep up with the development trend of computers, so I took the initiative to apply to work in the European branch of Heiyun. He knew that he couldn't match John Chambers in terms of management ability, so he might as well go to Europe to make a living.

At present, the preliminary preparations for the German exhibition have been completed, and Hashimoto Hiroshi went to the airport in person to greet Bao Zixuan and his party.

Hashimoto Hiroshi saw Bao Zixuan and said, "President, you have had a hard journey. Should we eat first or go to the company first?"

Bao Zixuan: "Hashimoto-kun, are you still used to staying in Europe? Let's eat first! Let's chat while we eat."

The group of people came to a Chinese restaurant near the company. Hashimoto Hiroshi knew the taste and eating characteristics of Bao Zixuan. The food for lunch is usually very simple, just a few simple dishes.

Bao Zixuan said: "How is the current situation of the company!"

Hiroshi Hashimoto: "Your Excellency, President, there are currently a total of 4,200 employees in European Black Cloud. In addition to the Black Cloud European headquarters in the UK, we have also established branches in five places: Germany, France, Denmark, and the Soviet Union. There are offices across the country.”

"Currently, the sales network has spread throughout Europe, but many dealers in the automotive industry have not seen our cars, so there are not many reservations yet."

Bao Zixuan: "It's okay, Lego hasn't been looking for us recently!"

Hashimoto Hiroshi: "I have rejected the Lego matter. They want to revise the contract. Seeing that our products are selling so well in the United States and Asia, they want a share of the pie; I have arranged for a lawyer to handle the matter."

Bao Zixuan: "That's for sure. Compared with the United States and Asia, the European market can only be considered average. It's not surprising that they have such an idea, but our interests cannot be harmed."

"In addition, you are now starting to investigate the well-known scholars in Europe, mainly those who are unsatisfactory in the existing units and schools. I have hired construction workers from mainland China. Our own university will be completed soon, and we will need a large number of professors by then. We will teach with lecturers, and it will be a shame for us if we only have students and no teachers.”

Hashimoto Hiroshi: "President, please rest assured that many well-known scholars in Europe are not living a very happy life now. The British economy is not good, and the European continent is threatened by war, so many scholars have plans to leave. In the past, their first choice was the United States. , but I think as long as our price is high, we can get some of them to work in Xiangjiang."

Hearing Hashimoto Hao's answer, Bao Zixuan was very satisfied. It seems that it is wise to ask him to come over to Europe to take charge of the work.

Bao Zixuan: "It's good that Hashimoto-kun understands, but you are not young. Now that Fucheng-kun has a girlfriend, you should also take care of your personal issues."

Hashimoto Hiroshi didn't say anything, but looking at his expression, he probably had a girlfriend or had a goal.

Hashimoto Hiroshi: "Thank you, President, for your concern. I had a girlfriend before. Her family objected before, but now she has agreed to our relationship. I also want to go back to Japan after this exhibition to get engaged, mainly to finalize the matter. Get married. Be sure to invite the president to attend.”

Bao Zixuan: "Then I want to congratulate you! Hashimoto-kun! The company has many properties in Japan. If you go back and choose a property, it will be my wedding gift to you."

Hiroshi Hashimoto knows Japan's housing prices, and now it seems that it is very wise to follow the president. Even though he could afford a house as a gift when he got married, it also showed his importance in the company in disguise.

After a simple lunch, Bao Zixuan and his group walked towards the European Black Cloud Company. Currently, Black Cloud Europe is headquartered in Fleet Street, London, England, home to the largest number of media outlets in the world. Bao Zixuan chose this place to get the latest news. Although the house price is very expensive, it is definitely a great place to buy.

Heiyun adheres to the operating characteristics of McDonald's, and all branch properties must be purchased. Now Heiyun owns most of its branches and store properties, so that even if he encounters a prodigal son in the future, he won't lose the family business so quickly.

After inspecting the company, Bao Zixuan saw that the employees were in good spirits. And everyone basically recognized Hashimoto Hiroshi’s work ideas, which is the basis for improving work efficiency.

At the same time, I checked the financial statements of the European branch at the company. Although the company's finance and PricewaterhouseCoopers will prepare a detailed data and hand it over to Bao Zixuan every month, there are still procedures that need to be followed.

Currently, Heiyun Group's sales in Europe are mainly concentrated in the gaming field, as well as a small number of notebook computers and digital camera products. Toy sales in Europe are mediocre because there is no such thing as Lego. The sales of Transformers and Rubik's Cube in Europe can only be said to be mediocre, with no bright spots.

It seems that in order to find a way to make Europeans recognize Heiyun products, there is still a lot of work to be done at this exhibition. Although the electronics company does not have any new products this time, the upgraded products are definitely not weak. And it will definitely surprise everyone at the Frankfurt Auto Show at the end of September. It seems that it still needs to vigorously develop new products, otherwise Heiyun will have no advantage at all compared with industrial giants.

Bao Zixuan will rest in London tonight before heading to Oxford University tomorrow morning. Not only did he have to receive his diploma there, but he also had to give a speech. He originally wanted to refuse, but when he thought about how he would use it a lot in the future at Oxford University, he not only had to give a speech but also had to flatter him, although it was a bit against his will. But this is life, there is nothing you can do about him.

In the evening, Hashimoto Hiroshi invited all the employees of British Black Cloud to have a dinner together. This has now become a tradition for Bao Zixuan when he goes to the branch. Thinking that the best way for employees to know and understand their boss is to get involved with them, Bao Zixuan invites all employees to dinner wherever he goes. It is also to deepen each other's impression. Although there is some loss of prestige, it is always felt that the advantages outweigh the disadvantages, so this tradition has always been retained.
