Chapter 176 The Big Wedding
Chapter 176 The Big Wedding
"Professional person?" The first person Yang Wendong thought of was naturally Bao Yugang.
But he was an entrepreneur and couldn't follow me. Then he said, "First, find me some information about Hong Kong Shipping Company."
"Okay, I'll deliver it tomorrow." Wei Zetao agreed.
The next day, Wei Zetao brought the information.
Yang Wendong took a look at the information and found it very detailed. There are quite a few shipping companies in Hong Kong, both British and Chinese.
Among them, Wheelock, Jardine Matheson and Swire are larger in scale among British capital, while among Chinese capital, Victor Chao and Chao Yung are larger in scale.
Bao Yugang's global shipping was still just a child, with only 7 ships in total.
Wei Zetao said: "I have contacted the headhunting company and they are already looking for the right person."
"Well, OK." Yang Wendong put down the information and said, "Populate people from Chinese-owned shipping companies, especially positions like captain and general manager."
Now, in 1960, British shipping companies were larger, especially Jardine Matheson, but a dozen years later the situation was reversed, with several Chinese-owned shipping giants beating the British ones, and even two of the top ten shipping giants in the world were from Hong Kong.
This has a lot to do with bosses like Pao Yu-kang and Tung Chao-Yen, but the people under them should also be very capable.
"Okay." Wei Zetao nodded and agreed: "Once we recruit a captain, he can take over the rest of the work."
"Okay, then I'll leave this matter to you." Yang Wendong said.
Wei Zetao asked: "Won't Mr. Yang interview you in person?"
"It makes no difference. I don't know anything about shipping." Yang Wendong smiled and said, "You go to the interview on my behalf first. If you think it's okay, I'll meet him again to confirm it."
In many industries in Hong Kong, such as real estate, industry, and even if he wants to run a supermarket or trade in the future, his experience in his previous life can be of some help to some extent.
But the shipping industry is not his cup of tea. He really doesn’t know much about this business. He may be just like Bao Yugang who switched to shipping a few years ago.
The only advantage is knowing the future, such as the Middle East War in 67, the shipping crisis in the 70s, and so on.
Wei Zetao smiled and said, "Actually, I don't understand either. The headhunters' advice is to check the other party's history. Once you have a clear understanding, you can feel more at ease."
"Well, this is also a method." Yang Wendong nodded and said, "At present, we are just trying our hand at it. We only need to build a boat. It's a good opportunity to get familiar with it first.
When the production and sales of suitcases increase in the future, the shipping company can also expand. It will be much more convenient if we can transport goods to Europe, Japan and America ourselves."
"I understand." Wei Zetao agreed, "By the way, we can also transport the spin mops together. Currently, our spin mops are not suitable for long-distance transportation. At most, they can be sold to Japan. It is not cost-effective to ship them to Europe and the United States."
"That's even better." Yang Wendong added, "In the next month, I will mainly deal with my personal affairs. It just so happens that the second phase of the sticky note factory is also about to start operation. With this matter, I need you, Old Wei, to work harder."
Wei Zetao smiled and said, "Okay, then I would like to congratulate Mr. Yang on his wedding in advance, and I wish you a son soon."
"Okay, thank you very much." Yang Wendong nodded and said.
May 5th was Su Yiyi’s 16th birthday, and the Feng Shui master also said it was an auspicious day, so the couple’s wedding was scheduled for this day.
The wedding day soon arrived.
The wedding was held at the Peninsula Hotel.
On this day, many Hong Kong business and political celebrities came here. Over the past year or so, as Changxing Industrial expanded in scale, it has gradually established relationships with many people in the business and political circles.
And because Yang Wendong’s current industry does not have any competitive relationship with anyone and can even bring in a lot of business, naturally he has very good popularity.
Even the Hong Kong government sent a political affairs director. As Changxing Industrial's export scale expanded, it had obviously become a target that the Hong Kong government needed to pay attention to and win over.
However, Yang Wendong simply responded politely to the people who came, but there was one person who was different.
"Ms. Elena, long time no see, you are still so young." Yang Wendong was very respectful when he saw this British lady who had once helped him.
Elena said with a smile: "Eric, congratulations on your marriage." "Thank you." Yang Wendong replied with a smile.
Elena added: “When I first met you, I felt that you were different and might be successful in the future, but I never dreamed that you would achieve such a high level of success.”
"Thank you for your early help." Yang Wendong said very formally.
If it weren’t for Elena, it would definitely not have been so easy for me to start my own business in the early days. Even if I could have achieved what I have today, it would probably have been a few years later.
The 60s was the golden age of Hong Kong's economy. If we had been a few months late, we might have missed many opportunities.
Elena added, "You're welcome. After you succeed, you can recruit a large number of squatters and help thousands of people get rid of poverty. My initial help can be considered a big reward."
Yang Wendong said with a smile: "Don't worry, this number will become tens of thousands in the future."
"Okay." Elena said with a smile: "Then I won't bother you. Today is your most important day."
"OK." Yang Wendong nodded, and then personally took Elena to a seat in the front.
This also made people who saw Yang Wendong's actions very strange. They speculated that this person might be a senior official of the Hong Kong government.
After settling Elena, Yang Wendong continued to receive guests, but most of them were just polite exchanges, and then people went in.
After a while, Jin Yong came and said with a smile: "Mr. Yang, congratulations. I wrote you a congratulatory message. I hope you will accept it."
"Speech?" Yang Wendong's eyes lit up. This was a good gift.
With his worth, no matter who gave him any gift, it would just be a vulgar thing that could be measured by money. However, Jin Yong's gift could not be said to be very high-end, but at least it would have some meaning in the future.
After all, he will be the most famous Chinese writer in the world in the future.
Jin Yong opened an ancient scroll with a line of words written on it: "May you have a happy marriage for a hundred years and have a son soon."
"Thank you." Yang Wendong said with a smile.
"You're welcome." Jin Yong nodded, chatted for a few more minutes and then went in.
This wedding was relatively low-key. The media was not invited, nor were some wealthy people in Hong Kong who had nothing to do with them invited.
However, countless reporters also knew about this matter, but they couldn't get in even if they wanted to.
The wedding started quickly. It was a Chinese-style wedding with a simple process. Aunt Guo acted as the parent of two families. This was also what Yang Wendong requested because only she was worthy of sitting in the seat.
According to the master of ceremonies' request, the wedding was completed smoothly.
Afterwards, Yang Wendong and Su Yiyi changed their clothes and went to each table to toast.
Of course, what they drank was not wine but tea. The ones who blocked the wine were naturally Zhao Liming and Lin Haoyu. The two of them had made preparations in advance and drank some milk before the wedding.
After some excitement, the wedding went smoothly.
The convoy also brought Su Yiyi and Yang Wendong back to their new villa in Deep Water Bay. At this moment, the place was also filled with an atmosphere of happiness.
The next day, Yang Wendong took Su Yiyi and boarded a plane to Europe.
The destination of their honeymoon is a tour of seven European countries, which lasts a total of 7 days. It can be regarded as the most thorough relaxation they have had since their successful business venture.
