Reborn Xiangjiang Tycoon Growth

Shen Bi and Bao Zixuan arrived at the seats they had reserved long ago, and several adjacent seats nearby had been cleared. They did not choose a room because Shen Bi wanted to show an attitude and let everyone who came to the hotel see that HSBC was not afraid of making mistakes. Problem. Once a problem occurs, we will definitely solve it as soon as possible. We must satisfy the customer and HSBC will be responsible for anything that happens.

After Michael Kadoorie personally poured a cup of tea for the two of them, he said to them: "Sir Shen Bi, if Mr. Bao has any questions, you can call me at any time. The Peninsula Hotel is at your service at any time."

Only then did Shen Bi realize that the heir to the company was serving them, so he had to introduce them anyway. So he said, "Xuedi Bao, you are the one with the most dignity. This is Mr. Michael Kadoorie, the heir to this hotel, and I'm here. I have never been treated like this many times!”

Bao Zixuan's brain was quickly recalling some information about the Kadoorie family. The Kadoorie family is Jewish, and this family has a very high status among the Jews. After all, they are not only rich, but also rescued many compatriots during the war years.

The arrival of Jews in Hong Kong can be traced back to the "Opium War" in the 1840s. Due to the talents of the Jews in language and business intelligence, they have made outstanding achievements in both mainland China and Hong Kong. The Kadoorie family established a family in 1880. In the 1960s, he used Xiangjiang as a springboard to develop in Shanghai, which was not yet prosperous at that time. After making great profits from the business of tea and ceramics, he purchased a large amount of land. The value of those lands later appreciated significantly, so that profits and wealth increased exponentially.

On the eve of the Second World War, a large number of Jewish refugees from Central Europe poured into China. Kadoorie and other prominent Iraqi families joined forces to provide housing and necessities for Jewish compatriots in Shanghai, helping as many as 30,000 refugees.

On the eve of the Japanese occupation of Hong Kong, in order to prevent the Chunghwa Electric Power Facilities from falling into the hands of the Japanese, Rowlands personally presided over the blowing up of the power plant and then retreated to the Chinese rear. Elijah Kadoorie died during the war. After the war, Rowlands and Horace The brothers brought a group of old subordinates back to Hong Kong to rebuild China Electric Power and revitalize the declining corporate empire.

In the early 1950s, the situation in China changed drastically. A large amount of capital gathered in Hong Kong and a large number of laborers moved south. Hong Kong continued to industrialize, and there was an urgent need for a strong supply of energy. Kadoorie met this need and indirectly assisted Hong Kong in its rapid development. 80 In the 1990s, Xiangjiang rose to the status of the world's financial center and was also involved in the 1997 crisis. However, at the same time, CLP completed the construction of the Castle Peak Power Plant with a power generation capacity of 4.35 billion watts and immediately invested in the construction of Daya Bay. Nuclear power plant and the construction of Lantau Island shunt power plant. All these actions are a vote of confidence in the future of Hong Kong and China after 1997!

Now Michael Kadoorie is only 38 years old, which is the golden period for a man's career to rise. And unlike other foreigners, this man is not British. The most important thing is that he is not resistant to return and can spend time to communicate and cooperate. family.

Bao Zixuan stood up, stretched out his hand and said in Hebrew: "Hello, Mr. Kadoorie. It's nice to meet you. Let's talk when we have time."

Bao Zixuan learned Hebrew from Phil Hawkins, and he knew that he would inevitably have to deal with Jewish businessmen in the future. It was better to prepare many things in advance to feel at ease. The purpose of using it at this time was to make Shen Bi feel uneasy, just to make him feel at ease. Can't understand.

Michael Kadoorie also extended his hand and replied: "Hello, Mr. Bao. You are always welcome at the Peninsula Hotel. You can call me anytime you have time."

After the two spoke a few words in Hebrew, Michael Kadoorie left. He was even more convinced of Bao Zixuan's genius. Hebrew is a relatively difficult language to learn.

In fact, Bao Zixuan doesn't know what's going on, but now his memory is very good. And his language talent is amazing. This may be the benefit of time travel.

Shen Bi did not expect that Bao Zixuan could actually speak Hebrew at this time. It seemed that he still had too little information about this young man. Now it seems to be more troublesome. The better Bao Zixuan performs, the higher the cost of solving the problem. If this situation is not resolved satisfactorily, it will be very detrimental to HSBC's overseas expansion. Due to Bao Zixuan's injury, HSBC has already suffered a serious crisis of confidence overseas.

In fact, HSBC, including Shen Bi, has been making two preparations. Once Hong Kong returns to the mainland, HSBC's status as the quasi central bank of Hong Kong will definitely decline. The British believe that if HSBC does not expand overseas at this time, it will soon be eliminated. But At the critical moment of expansion, Bao Zixuan, who has huge overseas influence at the HSBC banquet, was actually scratched with a knife. This is a big or small matter. Now it has been widely reported by the unscrupulous media, making HSBC very passive. , seriously affecting HSBC’s overseas expansion process.

Shen Bi said to Bao Zixuan: "I know that Mr. Bao is having a headache these days due to reports from these unscrupulous media. I hope we can find a good solution today. In addition, HSBC also needs Mr. Bao to cooperate to let overseas people We think this is a misunderstanding and hope that both of us will hold a joint press conference."

Bao Zixuan: "Senior, just tell me what HSBC needs me to do. We are the only two here and there is no need to play charades."

Shen Bi: "HSBC hopes that Mr. Bao can explain the matter clearly at the press conference. The most important thing is the situation of holding a knife. It is a concealed switchblade. This will make HSBC less responsible. At the same time, you have also forgiven HSBC for this time. I will continue to trust HSBC in the future and will increase cooperation."

Bao Zixuan thought that Shen Bi, an old boy, had made a good plan and would forgive any problems. So, did he still have principles? Will Shen Bi think about whether he would take advantage of others in the future?

Bao Zi I can't imagine how much trouble this will cause in the future. You know I'm not short of money, so I can't keep making wedding dresses for others."

Shen Bi: "You can get some compensation and also get the friendship of HSBC."

Bao Zixuan: "Then I really want to thank Senior Shen. If you say so, then I should rely on my own strength to solve this problem!"

In fact, Shen Bi is most afraid that Bao Zixuan will solve the problem on his own, which will make HSBC even more passive. People have been injured at HSBC, and now customers have to take action to seek justice. If people don't laugh to death, no one will dare to cooperate with HSBC in the future.

Shen Bi: "Don't be angry, Mr. Bao. If you have any questions, just say so. As long as HSBC and I can do it, we will never refuse."

Bao Zixuan was waiting for his words, and now the opportunity finally came, success or failure depends on this. He said: "I hope HSBC can sell me all its shares in Hutchison Whampoa, and Heiyun is ready to acquire Hutchison Whampoa.

Shen Bi did not expect that Bao Zixuan wanted shares in Hutchison Whampoa. Some time ago, Bao Yugang told him that Li Chaoren wanted to take over the Hutchison Whampoa shares held by HSBC. Shen Bi also wanted to sell Hutchison Whampoa to Li Chaoren. According to After the Hong Kong Banking Corporation makes a profit, the shares held by the bank will be sold.

Shen Bi: "Xuedi Bao, running a company is not something you are good at, and Li Chaoren intends to acquire Hutchison Whampoa. HSBC has basically agreed, so you might as well change your request!"

You agreed! Okay! Just now you said you would never refuse, and now you refuse again. Are you treating me, Bao Zixuan, as a fool? Then there is nothing to talk about.

Bao Zixuan smiled and said: "Since Mr. Shen still has his own considerations, so be it! It's okay. I won't say anything right or wrong with HSBC. Even the medical expenses don't need to be reimbursed by HSBC. But please don't stop me from following my own style. Solve the problem. This matter is over and I won’t mention it again in the future. That’s it for today! I have other things to do at the company so I’ll leave now and meet my seniors for tea another day.”
