Richard's expression remained unchanged. Except for a few people belonging to his faction, several other people suddenly understood. It was obvious that they had been bribed a long time ago.
Qi Dezun looked furious and said: "It turns out that you have colluded a long time ago. Richard, do you think you can really become Hutchison's top class? The Chinese will give you such an opportunity? They are just using you to stabilize Hutchison. Wait until he really He has taken control of Hutchison and kicked you out of the company just like me. You, too, are silent now and will be the same as me in the future."
"There is no need for Mr. Qi Dezun to worry. In the future, in addition to developing in Hong Kong, Hutchison will also focus on doing business with overseas European and American countries. Not only the British, but Americans and Europeans will join Hutchison in the future. As long as they are willing to stay Hutchison’s British staff will not have any problems,” Chen Zhiwen said formally.
Nowadays, most of the high-level positions in Hutchison are controlled by the British. If there are too many positions, it will have adverse effects. Therefore, stability is still needed. The only way is to wait until later to slowly arrange for Chinese people to come to power, boiling frogs in warm water. He really doesn't care about these British employees because of his ability to hold key positions, but the future is not a lie. As a talent reserve and with a very wide business scope, Hutchison Group is the best platform for Chen Zhiwen to make multiple investments in the future. There are so many internal There are also many elites among white people, and it will definitely be convenient to use them in the future.
"Who knows what will happen in the future?" Qi Dezun said loudly.
"That's right. The future has nothing to do with you. Zhou Jiayang, please ask Mr. Qi Dezun to go back to his office and sort out his personal belongings. If Mr. Qi Dezun is willing, he can wait until after get off work in the afternoon before leaving." Chen Zhiwen said to the Zhou family behind him Yang said.
"You have no right to let me leave." Qi Dezun roared.
"Then we will convene a shareholders' meeting. I will invite Hutchison's shareholders and reporters from all Hong Kong media to hold a meeting in ten days to discuss whether you should stay?" Chen Zhiwen said with a smile: "Mr. Qi Dezun, are you really You want me to do this?"
"You" Qi Dezun's face turned red with anger. In the previous shareholders' meeting, many shareholders had actually wanted to change the management for a long time, but because there was no major shareholder to take the lead, it was never possible. But now it is completely different. Once it is really held, There is no doubt that he will leave, and if there is large-scale publicity in the media, he will no longer be able to gain a foothold in Hong Kong. Even many people in the UK will see his jokes. If this is the case, it will be the biggest shame in anyone's life. .
Either accept a peaceful resignation, or choose this meaningless confrontation, which will only make yourself more embarrassed.
"It's a good time to get together and break up. Hutchison has reached this point today. Qi Dezun, do you think you are still worthy of being the chairman?" Chen Zhiwen asked calmly: "Without the inflow of new funds, Hutchison will definitely not be able to survive the end of the year. Not only is it You, everyone here will lose your job. You are all senior executives of the company. If a few people leave, it is still easy to find good jobs in the Hong Kong market, but all the people in Hutchison have resigned. Where will you find it? Jardine Will you be allowed to be directors? Or will it be Swire? You will only be unemployed on a large scale, either leaving Hong Kong or taking lower-level jobs in other companies."
After these words, he said to several people present. Everyone present fell silent. If Heji went bankrupt, they would naturally return to the UK, and their many years of experience in Hong Kong may not be useful in the UK. .
"Qi Dezun, I know you have your influence. If you leave normally, we will act in accordance with the law. But if you really want to lead people to cause trouble, then I will invite an overseas third-party audit agency to conduct a comprehensive inspection of the entire Hutchison Investigation, when the time comes, as long as there are people with problems, I think the Independent Commission Against Corruption will be very willing to make some achievements in the business world." Chen Zhiwen said calmly.
Qi Dezun's face changed drastically, and so did everyone else. As an executive of Hutchison, who doesn't have any problems? If they are really found out, the Independent Commission Against Corruption will not care that they are so-called senior executives of large companies. You know, countless high-level politicians in the Hong Kong government have been arrested.
"The three of you can leave. It is not convenient for outsiders to attend the board meeting here." Chen Zhiwen said. Since the other two people have stood up, they naturally have to leave. What he is worried about is if two or three people from Hutchison Batch's management leave. It doesn't matter.
Zhou Jiayang also came out and said to Qi Dezun and the others: "You three, please."
The security guards behind him were also ready to move. If the boss really gave the order, the scene would be ugly. Qi Dezun and the other three also wanted to save face. At present, the shareholders who control the absolute controlling share have no point in resisting. Otherwise, they will violate the law. .
Qi Dezun glanced coldly at the crowd, especially Richard, then turned and left.
The conference room became quiet again, and everyone was nervous. Only the two representatives from Hong Kong Telecom and the Kadoorie family treated the place as if they were watching a show.
Chen Zhiwen smiled and said, "Everyone, don't pay too much attention to what happened just now. Mr. Richard, please sit down in this seat."
Chen Zhiwen pointed to the seat next to him, which was Qi Dezun's seat just now.
"Okay, Chen Sheng." Richard stood up and changed positions, his face seemed to be filled with infinite spring.
"I have just listened to some of Hutchison's questions. The most urgent thing at the moment is the lack of funds. I can provide 100 million Hong Kong dollars, but the board of directors must decide on the direction of spending all funds and the benefits it can bring. One thing is to count all the suspended projects within Hutchison. It is impossible for us to start all projects at the same time, so we need to consider batching or selling some projects, which also need to be completed before the next board of directors." Chen Zhiwen said.
"No problem." Richard agreed. Hutchison will also sort out the company's internal situation every period of time and follow it up.
"Okay, one more thing, Richard, formally convene a shareholders' meeting to all shareholders. The new management also needs to show up. There are some important things that also require the approval of the shareholders' meeting." Chen Zhiwen continued.
"According to the law, the board of directors needs to give all shareholders ten days to convene an extraordinary shareholders' meeting. So, should it be held in ten days?" Richard asked. The company's shareholders may be in Tiannanhaijiao or even in overseas countries, so the convening of the extraordinary shareholders' meeting requires advance notice.
"Okay, if there's nothing else, let's end the meeting first, Richard, and let's talk alone." Chen Zhiwen said.
The people in the conference room looked at each other, and there really was nothing to say. Besides, the new owner was not familiar with them yet, so who dared to talk nonsense?
After everyone left, only Chen Zhiwen, Richard Richard, Zhou Jiayang and the assistant in charge of recording An Qi were left.
"Richard, now that Qi Dezun has left, the most important thing now is to stabilize the entire Hutchison management and ensure the normal operation of the company." Chen Zhiwen said: "If a large number of people leave in the next few months, you should do it early Be prepared, there must be alternates for important positions.”
"No problem. Next, I will talk to some senior executives of the company to see their attitude. If there is intention to leave, I will also arrange for relevant people to be prepared." Richard nodded and said.
"Okay, Mr. Zhou Jiayang will officially join Hutchison Group. After the shareholders' meeting, I will appoint him as a director of Hutchison and serve as vice president within the company, specifically responsible for the company's investment business and anti-corruption investigations." Chen Zhiwen introduced.
"Mr. Richard, please give me your advice in the future." Zhou Jiayang said with a smile.
"Hello, Zhou Sheng." Richard looked at the middle-aged Chinese man next to Zhou Jiayang, and understood in his heart that this must be Hutchison's first confidant.
Controlling the investment business is actually nothing, but the power involved in anti-corruption investigations is very great. This is the best way to eliminate dissidents. But this must be a normal phenomenon. Every major shareholder will monitor the management. The era of unsupervised management of Hutchison is over.
"Mr. Zhou Jiayang has rich experience in the investment business and is also familiar with asset management. You can discuss together how to deal with Hutchison's non-performing assets in the future." Chen Zhiwen said with a faint smile.
"Okay, Chen Sheng." Richard and Zhou Jiayang said together.
"One more thing, I didn't say at the board meeting just now that at the shareholders' meeting in ten days, I will officially privatize Hutchison, and Hutchison Corporation will also delist from the Hong Kong stock market." Chen Zhiwen said slowly.
