We're building a super chaebol in Hong Kong

"I suggest, Master, that you let Simon Keswick take over Peter's position."

This was the suggestion Su Cheng received from Xiao Ai.

When Su Cheng heard the name Simon Keswick, the man's life achievements immediately appeared in his mind.

Su Cheng actually knew about Simon Keswick; anyone who knew about Li Ka-shing's achievements would have heard of this talent.

Simon Keswick, born in Leicester on March 25, 1940, is a businessman and explorer. In Su Cheng's previous life, he served as the Group Managing Director of Hutchison Whampoa in Hong Kong. In Li Ka-shing's company, he was a veritable second-in-command, second only to Li Ka-shing.

Li Ka-shing's ability to become the richest man in Asia was inseparable from his contributions.

Of course, Li Ka-shing also had another great general under his banner: Canning Fok.

However, Canning Fok is only 26 years old now and is still studying in the beautiful country.

Therefore, Canning Fok does not need to be considered for the time being. When he returns to Hong Kong in the future, he can be brought to Hutchison Whampoa or Su's Group in advance and focused on training.

According to historical trends, Simon Keswick is currently working at Jardine Matheson, mainly responsible for the company's engineering and trade business.

Subsequently, in 1980, Simon Keswick, at the age of forty, resigned and started his own business, founding Gammon Engineering \u0026 Construction, specializing in undertaking Singapore's subway projects, and its scale gradually became stronger.

Simon Keswick is good at socializing, and his entrepreneurship even received investment from the Rothschild family.

However, Li Ka-shing had already taken a fancy to Simon Keswick's talent at the time. In order to poach him, he did not hesitate to acquire the company founded by Simon Keswick. Finally, Simon Keswick agreed to Li Ka-shing's invitation and became the general manager of Hutchison Whampoa, also the second-in-command of HWL.

After Simon Keswick took office, as expected, Hutchison Whampoa's performance soared.

In 1985, he assisted in taking down Hongkong Electric Holdings (which had already been taken down by Su Cheng in advance in this world), ensuring a stable cash flow for Cheung Kong Holdings in addition to its main real estate business;

In 1987, he led the acquisition of a 43% stake in Husky Energy in Maple Leaf Country.

In 1990, he cooperated with other parties to successfully launch Asia's first communications satellite.

Ren Zhengfei praised: "This miracle was instigated by Simon Keswick, which shows his ability."

What is particularly talked about is the "trillion-dollar sale of oranges" case that shocked the industry.

In 1992, Li Ka-shing's telecommunications business in the United Kingdom suffered losses for years and planned to withdraw and close it.

However, Simon Keswick believed that the European market was still profitable and insisted on increasing investment to maintain it.

Li Ka-shing listened to Simon Keswick's advice and continued to invest and retain it, which led to the acquisition myth seven years later.

Through a series of operations and mergers by the successor general manager Canning Fok, the telecommunications business, which was originally intended to be abandoned, was sold at a transaction price far exceeding the market price, creating a huge profit of 160 billion yuan for Li Ka-shing.

Of course, these things happened in Su Cheng's previous life. As for this world, they have not happened yet due to the timeline.

It is precisely because of this that Su Cheng feels that he cannot miss such a talent.

Therefore, talents like Simon Keswick must be taken down.

Now, Simon Keswick has not yet started his own business, and Su Cheng feels that it should be much easier to poach him.

He is not a very important senior management member in Jardine Matheson, and even if he is poached, Henry Keswick should not have any objections.

Even if Henry Keswick has objections, Su Cheng doesn't care.

However, if Simon Keswick is chosen as the helmsman of Hongkong Electric Holdings, then Su Cheng's plan for Hongkong Electric Holdings will have to be changed.

Although Simon Keswick has strong management talent, he does not have experience in managing large companies yet. Therefore, the best way is to let Peter stabilize Hongkong Electric Holdings first.

However, Su Cheng no longer wants Peter to continue staying in Hongkong Electric Holdings. He doesn't like such a person.

Peter must leave, and as soon as possible.

He doesn't want to leave such a bad apple here, spoiling the good porridge of Hongkong Electric Holdings.

Before Su Cheng acquired Hongkong Electric Holdings, Su Cheng couldn't control what Peter did, and even if it was exposed, it wouldn't affect Su Cheng.

And before Simon Keswick takes the helm of Hongkong Electric Holdings, there must be an outstanding talent to replace Peter to temporarily manage Hongkong Electric Holdings.

Therefore, there is another way, which is to let Peter Woo of Hutchison Whampoa temporarily serve as the president of Hongkong Electric Holdings. After Simon Keswick can completely take the helm of Hongkong Electric Holdings, Peter Woo can resign from the position of president of Hongkong Electric Holdings and earnestly manage Hutchison Whampoa well.

As for Simon Keswick, naturally, he will first serve as the vice president of Hongkong Electric Holdings and learn a few months of experience in managing large companies from Peter Woo.

Yang Chaoye of Su's Group can also serve as the president of Hongkong Electric Holdings, but Su Cheng feels that Peter Woo and Simon Keswick are both of British descent, and the two should have more common topics.

The latest novels are first published on 69shu.com!

According to Xiao Ai's data, Simon Keswick's learning ability is very perverted. Giving him three months is enough to adapt to the position of a large enterprise helmsman.

Hongkong Electric Holdings, such a large enterprise, cannot be managed by anyone. In Hong Kong, Peter Woo is one of the few professional managers with this ability.

After sorting out the context of these things, Su Cheng decided to do it this way.

Therefore, now is to first contact Simon Keswick. After persuading Simon Keswick, Su Cheng can talk to Peter Woo about this matter.

If Peter Woo is unwilling to temporarily take over the management of Hongkong Electric Holdings, Su Cheng will not embarrass him.

When the time comes, he will discuss this matter with Yang Chaoye, after all, Yang Chaoye is also a very good candidate.

Thinking of this, Su Cheng simply called Brother Wu directly in the study.

At this time, Brother Wu should be at the bodyguard training base.

Calling the office at the training base, as expected, Brother Wu was at the training base.

However, he is now on the playground, so the person in the office, after hanging up the phone with Su Cheng, used the walkie-talkie to contact Brother Wu, who was drilling the students on the playground, and asked him to come back immediately, the boss is looking for him!

Five minutes later, Su Cheng received a call from Brother Wu.

"Boss, what do you want me for?" After the call was connected, Brother Wu asked very directly.

"You find someone to help me check, there is a British man named Simon Keswick in Jardine Matheson Group, find his contact information, and tell me."

Su Cheng instructed directly.

"Okay, boss!" Brother Wu nodded, without asking why he was looking for him, but directly took the task.

Five minutes later, Brother Wu's phone called again.

"Boss, Simon Keswick's home contact number is * * * * * *, and he lives in Room 602, Block 5, Seaside Garden, Wan Chai."

Brother Wu said.
