Reborn in Hong Kong: The Tycoon Grows Up
Chapter 166: Negotiation II
Shen Bi and Bao Zixuan arrived at the pre-determined location, and several adjacent seats nearby had been emptied. The reason for not choosing a room was because Shen Bi wanted to show an attitude so that everyone who came to the hotel could see that HSBC was not afraid of problems. Once there is a problem, we will solve the problem as soon as possible. We must make customers satisfied, and HSBC will be responsible for anything that happens.
After Michael Kadoorie poured a cup of tea for the two of them, he said to them, "Your Excellency Shen Bi and Bao Sheng, you can call me anytime if you have any questions. The Peninsula Hotel will serve the two of you at any time."
It was only at this time that Shen Bi realized that the heir of the company was serving them, so why should I introduce it? So he said, "Brother Bao, you still have a lot of face. This is Mr. Michael Kadoorie, the heir of this hotel. I have come here many times but I have never been treated like this!"
Bao Zixuan's brain was rapidly recalling some information about the Kadoorie family. The Kadoorie family is Jewish, and this family has a high status among Jews. After all, they are not only rich, but also helped many compatriots during the war.
The arrival of Jews in Hong Kong can be traced back to the "Opium War" in the 1840s. Because of the Jewish talent in language and business intelligence, they have achieved outstanding achievements in both the mainland and Hong Kong. In the 1880s, the Kadoorie family used Xiangjiang as a springboard to develop in Shanghai, which was not yet prosperous at that time. After operating tea and ceramics with great profits, he bought a lot of land. Those lands later appreciated so much that profits and wealth multiplied.
On the eve of World War II, a large number of Jewish refugees from Central Europe flocked to China. Kadoorie joined forces with other prominent Iraqi families to provide Jewish compatriots with housing and necessities in Shanghai, and helped as many as 30,000 compatriots in need.
On the eve of the Japanese occupation of Hong Kong, in order to prevent the CLP facilities from falling into the hands of the RB people, Lawrence personally presided over the bombing of the power plant, and then retreated into the rear of Huaxia. Elijah Kadoorie died during the war. After the war, brothers Lawrence and Horace brought the same group of old subordinates back to Hong Kong to rebuild CLP Power and revitalize the collapsed corporate kingdom.
In the early 1950s, the situation in Huaxia changed dramatically. A large amount of funds gathered in Hong Kong and a large number of labor force went south. Hong Kong continued to industrialize, and a strong energy supply was urgently needed behind it. Kadoorie satisfies this need and indirectly assists Heung Kong to continue to develop rapidly. In the 1980s, Hong Kong became a world financial center and was also involved in the 1997 crisis. But at the same time, CLP built the Castle Peak Power Plant with a power generation capacity of 4.35 billion watts, and then invested in the construction of the Daya Bay Nuclear Power Plant and the construction of the Lantau Power Plant. All kinds of actions show a vote of confidence in the future of Xiangjiang and China after 1997!
Now that Michael Kadoorie is only 38 years old, it is the golden age of a man's career. And unlike other foreigners, this one is not British. The most important thing is that they are not resistant to returning, and they are a family that can spend time communicating and cooperating well.
Bao Zixuan stood up and stretched out his hand and said in Hebrew, "Hello, Mr. Kadoorie. It's nice to meet you. Let's talk when we have time."
Hebrew was learned by Bao Zixuan from Phil Hawkins, and he knew that he would inevitably have to deal with Jewish merchants in the future. A lot of things need to be prepared in advance to feel at ease. At this time, it was just to make Shen Bi feel uneasy, just to make him not understand.
Michael Kadoorie also stretched out his hand and replied, "Hello, Baosheng. The Peninsula Hotel welcomes you at any time. You can call me anytime you have time."
After the two said a few words in Hebrew, Michael Kadoorie left. And he is more recognized for Bao Zixuan's genius. Hebrew is a difficult language to learn.
In fact, Bao Zixuan doesn't know what's going on, but now his memory is very good. And the language talent is very amazing, this may be the benefit of crossing.
Shen Bi didn't expect Bao Zixuan to speak Hebrew at this time. It seemed that he still had too little information on this young man. It seems more troublesome now. The better Bao Zixuan performs, the higher the cost of solving the problem. If it is not resolved satisfactorily this time, it will be very unfavorable for HSBC's overseas expansion. Due to Bao Zixuan's injury, HSBC has suffered a serious crisis of trust overseas.
In fact, HSBC, including Shen Bi, has been making two-handed preparations, but once Xiangjiang returns to the mainland. Then HSBC's status in 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 be eliminated soon. But at the critical moment of expansion, Bao Zixuan, who had huge overseas influence at the HSBC banquet, was scratched with a knife. This is a big or small matter, and it is now being widely reported by unscrupulous media, making HSBC very passive and seriously affecting HSBC's overseas expansion process.
Shen Bi said to Bao Zixuan: "I know Bao Xuedi has also been reported by these unscrupulous media these days and has a headache. I hope we can find a good solution today. In addition, HSBC also needs Bao Xuedi's cooperation to let overseas people. Thought it was a misunderstanding and hoped we would hold a joint press conference."
Bao Zixuan: "What HSBC needs me to do, the seniors can say it directly. There is no need for the two of us to play quizzes here."
Shen Bi: "HSBC hopes that Bao Xuedi can explain things clearly at the press conference, the most important thing is the situation of holding a knife. It is a concealed switch knife, so that HSBC can be less responsible. At the same time, you have forgiven HSBC for this time. We will continue to believe in HSBC in the future, and we will increase cooperation efforts.”
Bao Zixuan thought that the old boy Shen Bi had made a good plan. He would forgive any problems, so he still had principles! Whether or not he will recognize people and slaughter them in the future, has Shen Bi thought about this question?
Bao Zixuan: "Senior Shen, I am also a victim of this incident. Now I have to explain to the public about Le HSBC, and I have to say that I have such a good temper. In the future, there will be people who will take my Bao Zixuan back. I can't imagine how much trouble this will bring 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~www.readwn.com~ and also get friendship from HSBC."
Bao Zixuan: "Then I really want to thank Senior Shen. If you say that, then I should rely on my own strength to solve this problem!"
In fact, Shen Bi was most afraid that Bao Zixuan would solve the problem on his own, so that HSBC would be more passive. People were injured at HSBC, and now they have customers to go out and get justice. That way, people will not be laughed to death, who would dare to cooperate with HSBC in the future.
Shen Bi: "Brother Bao, don't be angry. If you have any problems, you can say it directly. As long as HSBC and I can do it, we will never refuse."
Bao Zixuan was just waiting for his words, and now the opportunity has finally come, success or failure is here. Said: "I hope HSBC can sell all the shares in Hutchison Whampoa to me, and Heiyun is going to acquire Hutchison Whampoa.
Shen Bi didn't expect Bao Zixuan to want the shares of Hutchison Whampoa. Bao Yugang told him some time ago that Li Chaoren wanted to take over the shares of Hutchison Whampoa held by HSBC. Shen Bi also wanted to sell Hutchison Whampoa to Li Chaoren. According to the Hong Kong Banking Act, after the company made a profit, the shares held by the bank would be sold.
Shen Bi: "Brother 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 should change your request!"
You agree! OK! He just said that he would never refuse, but he began to refuse again. Take my Bao Zixuan as a fool! Then there's nothing to talk about.
Bao Zixuan said with a smile: "Since Senior Shen still has his own considerations, so be it! I won't say anything right or wrong with HSBC, even if I don't need HSBC to reimburse me for medical expenses. But please don't stop me from following my own style. Solve the problem, this matter has passed, and I won't mention it again in the future. Let's be here today! I have to say goodbye to the company before I have something to do, and I will meet the senior for tea another day."
