#60 - Yang Chaoye's surprise
June 20th, morning, London Heathrow Airport.
Today, Su Cheng personally came to the airport to greet an old man, Mr. Yang Chaoye, who had just resigned from IBM.
At 11:30 AM, a plane from New York to London slowly landed at Heathrow Airport.
At the passenger exit, a Chinese elderly couple stood out among the many white and black passengers.
Su Cheng, along with Zhong Chuhong, Yu Xing, and others, recognized the old gentleman at a glance, and the person beside him must be his wife.
Before coming, Su Cheng had already preliminarily learned about some of the old gentleman's affairs.
As a well-known international company in the world, it was very easy to find information about IBM's former Vice President.
Yang Chaoye, born in 1918, is from Min Province. At the age of 16, he left Min Province to go to San Francisco in the beautiful country to seek refuge with relatives. He successfully graduated from Stanford University and then went to New York State to join IBM. After more than 30 years of hard work, he rose from a grassroots salesman to the position of Vice President of IBM's International Business Department, becoming the third most powerful figure in IBM.
During his tenure as Vice President of the International Business Department, his performance improved by more than 300%. It can be said that he is a rare great contributor to IBM in recent years.
For the first four years as Vice President, Yang Chaoye did work with great drive, and the President and Board of Directors of IBM were very supportive of him.
However, everything changed in 1976 when the new President, J. Watson, took office.
As the saying goes, a new boss lights three fires. J. Watson was no exception. After taking office, he reformed many departments of IBM, and many senior executives were affected as a result.
Yang Chaoye, as the President of the International Business Department, felt that Dongying, South Korea, Xiangjiang, and Southeast Asia would all be very important emerging markets in the future, and it was necessary to increase investment. However, J. Watson believed that the European market had not yet been fully developed, and there was no need to invest too much in Asia.
Yang Chaoye believed that the mobile phone business would become a very important part in the future, but J. Watson felt that IBM should focus on the computer field in order to maintain its leading position in this field and was unwilling to spend too much money in other fields.
...
Yang Chaoye had an overly unyielding personality and was unwilling to compromise. He loudly called for IBM to change its development strategy on various occasions inside and outside the company. The final result was that the differences between the two IBM executives became increasingly large.
Two years later, Yang Chaoye finally decided to resign and submitted his resignation letter. Naturally, President J. Watson happily signed it, while the Board of Directors reluctantly approved it.
When he saw this information, Su Cheng realized that if nothing unexpected happened, he seemed to have obtained an incredible talent.
Dongying, South Korea, and Xiangjiang will be very economically active places in the next few decades, and Southeast Asia also developed quite well economically before the 1998 financial crisis.
As for the mobile business, its potential in the future is no less than that of computers. Even in the era before Su Cheng traveled through time, computer hardware had gradually declined, while the mobile phone business had been on the rise.
It can be seen that Yang Chaoye's unique vision is extraordinary.
Su Cheng naturally recognized Yang Chaoye at a glance when he appeared.
After all, he had already seen Yang Chaoye's photo.
"Mr. Yang, I've finally waited for you to come. This must be your wife," Su Cheng greeted enthusiastically.
"You are Su Cheng, the boss of Su's Group, right? So young!" Yang Chaoye was also a little surprised when he saw Su Cheng.
Before this, although he had a certain understanding of Su's Group and had a little deep impression of Su Cheng through President Liu, President Liu had never mentioned Su Cheng's age.
Therefore, before seeing Su Cheng, he thought that Su Cheng was at least a middle-aged man. He didn't expect that this boss was even younger than his son...
"Mr. Yang, come with me. Let's go to the company first. It's not convenient to talk here." Su Cheng smiled, looking at the crowded airport.
"Okay, thank you for your trouble." Yang Chaoye nodded and followed with his wife.
The car ride from the airport to the Su's Group Building was very smooth.
Now, the original sign of the building has been removed and replaced with the LOGO and name of Su's Group.
Su Cheng directly took everyone to the 21st floor.
This is not only his residence in London, but also his office during his stay in the UK.
"I didn't expect that Su's Group would have such a property in the center of London. It seems that I underestimated Su's Group," Yang Chaoye said in surprise.
If this building is calculated in Hong Kong dollars, it would be worth more than 100 million Hong Kong dollars, right?
However, according to the information he learned from President Liu, the market value of the entire Su's Group is at most three to four hundred million Hong Kong dollars.
The newest novels are all at 6 9 Shuba!
Moreover, according to President Liu, Su's Group also owns a headquarters building in Xiangjiang. It is impossible that the main value of Su's Group is these two buildings, right?
"Actually, Mr. Yang, there are still many things you don't understand about our Su's Group," Yu Xing said with a smile at this time.
"Mr. Yang, let me introduce you. This is Yu Xing, the current head of our Su's Group's European branch," Su Cheng introduced to Yang Chaoye.
"Hello, President Yu," Yang Chaoye took the initiative to shake hands with him.
"Mr. Yang, let me briefly introduce our Su's Group and our boss to you," Yu Xing said with a smile after shaking hands.
Naturally, Su Cheng himself cannot say these flattering things.
"Then I will listen attentively," Yang Chaoye said with a smile, sitting on the sofa.
"Su's Group was actually inherited by our boss not long ago. More than a month ago, the strength of our Su's Group was indeed average, but after our boss inherited Su's Group, he increased his investment in Su's Group, especially in Europe. Originally, we only had an office here, but after the boss came to Europe, he directly bought this building as the future office location for the European branch.
In addition, the boss also spent more than 50 million Hong Kong dollars to directly acquire five companies, including logistics, property, media, supermarkets, and real estate. This has also laid a solid foundation for our Su's Group's European branch.
And this is only a small part of our boss's investment. In addition, Mr. Yang, you should have heard of Huifeng Bank, the famous financial leader in Xiangjiang. Just this month, our boss just took over Heji Huangpu, a listed company controlled by Huifeng Bank, and became the major shareholder of Heji Huangpu, and the total market value of Heji Huangpu is in the billions of Hong Kong dollars."
Yu Xing spoke very energetically about the boss's achievements, and he also felt very honored. According to him, the boss is not short of money, and working under such a person, the future is definitely bright.
Yang Chaoye was more and more surprised as he listened. This young man seemed to be much more powerful than he had imagined.
Just talking about Heji Huangpu, although he doesn't understand it, a major shareholder with a market value of several billion must hold at least one billion or more in shares. This strength is somewhat impressive.
Although Su's Group's current strength is not great, if under his management, coupled with the boss's heavy investment, he believes that he will definitely be able to build Su's Group into an international top company like IBM.
