We're building a super chaebol in Hong Kong

Since then, apart from the 51.96% of shares held by Tianyuan Investment Company, almost all of the remaining shares have fallen into the hands of retail investors.

Whether any individuals have spent several million or even tens of millions of Hong Kong dollars to purchase shares is unknown, but it is certain that no powerful consortiums have participated.

This is because the price of thirty Hong Kong dollars per share has already deterred them; no consortium would be willing to spend so much money to acquire shares that only have voting rights but no real power.

Everything is in Su Cheng's favor.

Time flies, and a week has passed in the blink of an eye.

China Motor Bus has not encountered any problems in its operations due to the change of ownership; on the contrary, it has been improving.

Of course, because Tianyuan Investment Company has only recently taken over China Motor Bus, the changes are not yet too significant.

Nevertheless, the citizens of Hong Kong have already felt that the service of China Motor Bus is developing in a positive direction.

Some routes with high passenger traffic have directly increased the number of trips, shortening everyone's waiting time.

The drivers' attitude towards passengers has also improved, and they no longer swear as easily as the drivers of the past.

In the past, many buses, although washed relatively clean on the outside to comply with government regulations and avoid affecting the city's appearance, were very dirty inside with a lot of odors, causing many people to get carsick or even vomit when riding the bus because they couldn't stand the smell. This was because the original company hired too few cleaners, who were simply too busy, so these cleaners basically only did superficial work and were perfunctory.

However, many passengers have recently noticed that the odor inside the China Motor Bus vehicles they ride has decreased, and the cleanliness inside the vehicles has suddenly become very clean. Although they are still the same old cars, the ride has become much more comfortable.

The requirements of ordinary citizens are actually very simple. They don't expect the bus service to be very good, just that they feel more comfortable when riding the bus, and that is enough.

Now, isn't China Motor Bus constantly improving in this direction?

For a time, the Hong Kong complaints department discovered that China Motor Bus, which used to receive complaints every day, has not received any complaint calls recently.

This shows that Tianyuan Investment Company's takeover of the management of China Motor Bus has indeed achieved something. Although the future is still unclear, at least it can be seen that China Motor Bus is constantly improving.

These are naturally the result of Zhang Qizheng spending a lot of effort to improve things after taking over China Motor Bus.

First, Zhang Qizheng gathered all the company's employees in batches to strengthen service training. With the benefit of wage increases and the threat of dismissal, the drivers' attitudes quickly improved. This kind of carrot-and-stick approach is always effective.

Secondly, the bus factory itself often has many idle buses. Previously, the Yan family was very frugal in driver recruitment in order to save costs, wishing that one driver could do the work of two, which also led to some buses being idled directly.

After studying which routes needed to increase the number of trips, these idle buses quickly found a use.

Moreover, since the salary and benefits have increased, it is naturally not difficult to recruit people for the driver positions at China Motor Bus. Kowloon Motor Bus has even discovered that many drivers have inexplicably resigned recently, and the reason for their resignation is naturally to jump ship to China Motor Bus.

Things that cannot be completed in a short period of time, such as replacing buses with new ones and building new headquarters buildings, can be postponed, but doing a good job in service itself depends on whether the manager has seriously put in the effort to deal with it. If you want to improve, it is actually not difficult.

Today is already August 10th. In this week, although Su Cheng has been paying attention to the situation of China Motor Bus, he, the chairman, has not been to the headquarters of China Motor Bus even once since the press conference that day.

Because Su Cheng knows that China Motor Bus has just been taken over by Tianyuan Investment Company, and there are many things to be busy with, so he, the boss, should not add to Zhang Qizheng's troubles for the time being.

Zhang Qizheng calls Su Cheng every day to report on the real-time situation of China Motor Bus, which also lets Su Cheng know that Zhang Qizheng has really been very busy since taking over.

However, after a week has passed, China Motor Bus has basically stabilized, so Su Cheng went out again to the headquarters office of China Motor Bus.

Now, the headquarters office of China Motor Bus has been moved to Tianyuan Building, and the original site of China Motor Bus will be demolished and rebuilt after China Motor Bus and Hutchison Whampoa Real Estate Company have negotiated a cooperation.

Tianyuan Building and the original China Motor Bus headquarters building are both located in North Point. The straight-line distance between the two is actually only six hundred meters, so even though the China Motor Bus office has been moved to Tianyuan Building, it does not affect their management.

Arriving at Tianyuan Building, Su Cheng also met Zhang Qizheng, whom he had not seen for a week.

"Just take care of yourself. Health is the most important thing!" Su Cheng continued.

"Yeah, I know," Zhang Qizheng nodded.

At this time, Zhang Qizheng was not in the China Motor Bus office, but in his Tianyuan Investment Company general manager's office.

Moving the headquarters office of China Motor Bus to Tianyuan Building also made Zhang Qizheng's work more convenient. After all, in addition to the position of general manager of China Motor Bus, he is also the general manager of Tianyuan Investment Company, which is his real job. The China Motor Bus side is only a temporary concurrent position.

Seeing Zhang Qizheng's haggard appearance, Su Cheng felt a little sorry for him.

"Has Sanyang Headhunting Company found a suitable candidate to take over your work yet?" Su Cheng asked.

"Boss, how easy is it to find such a person? Famous top executives basically all have positions and won't easily jump ship. Those who have just resigned may not necessarily have the ability, so Sanyang Headhunting Company is still looking for and screening talents. As the recruiting officer, I have interviewed two interested people by phone, but in the end, I felt that they were not very suitable for this position," Zhang Qizheng shook his head and said.

The position of general manager of China Motor Bus must be interviewed by Su Cheng, but before Su Cheng interviews, he must also pass Zhang Qizheng's level. If Zhang Qizheng doesn't like the person, Su Cheng naturally doesn't need to.

"We are in a period of talent shortage recently!" Su Cheng sighed.
