Chapter 784 Wheelock’s new chief executive candidate! Yang Ming recommends making an appointment
Yang Ming discovered.
Compared with swallowing up Wharf, Jardine Matheson, and even Hutchison Whampoa, it was really much easier for him to swallow up Wheelock & Co., the third largest foreign trade house in Hong Kong.
Historically, it was much easier for Pao Yugang to swallow up Wheelock & Company than Wharf.
why?
It's because Wheelock & Company's two major shareholders themselves already want to give up. Moreover, historically, it was only the wealthy Nanyang businessman Qiu Teck Bo who targeted Wheelock & Company.
Now that there is neither Qiu Defu nor Bao Yugang on his radar, it will naturally be much easier for Yang Ming to swallow up Wheelock & Company.
For Yang Ming, swallowing up Wheelock & Company now is the first step.
"Lin Xiuzhi, immediately notify Ma Shimin, Wei Li, Li Caixin, Bao Fuda, Xia Boyin, Wei Peter, Mou Shili, Mannix, Albert and others to come to the conference room of the Empire Group headquarters."
"Yes, boss."
Lin Xiuzhi immediately called Ma Shimin and others.
Yang Ming was discussing with Mai Lisi on the side.
Now the acquisition of Wheelock & Company is the first step. Next, the selection of the new executive of Wheelock Group is the top priority.
"Boss, I am indeed considering the candidate for general manager of Wheelock Group these days."
Now Ma Shimin and others have their own positions, including Ma Shimin himself who has moved several times.
From the general manager of Wharf Group to the general manager of Jardine Matheson Group and now the general manager of Overseas Trust Bank.
Ma Shimin is very capable, but he must not be able to move now.
Wei Li has been serving as the CEO of Hutchison Whampoa and has not moved. Hutchison Whampoa is well managed by Wei Li, and Hutchison Whampoa's annual profits are getting higher and higher.
Also, after Li Caixin managed Xiangjiang First Shipping Group, he has almost caught up with Bao Yugang's Global Shipping Group.
The rest, like Bao Fuda, have always stayed in the Land Group, and he has also managed well.
Bao Fuda originally betrayed the Yosek family and Niu Bijian to join his team, but Bao Fuda was also very capable.
“I don’t know if boss, do you want a white person or a Chinese person?”
Chinese?
Yang Ming wants to use it.
Now Huo Jianning, Yuan Tianfan, Li Huimin, Liang Botao, Zheng Haiquan, etc. are all growing up, and it is impossible to be promoted to the current high position all at once.
"Stay white."
White people?
Malice considered several candidates.
None seemed suitable.
The Wheelock Group was originally the third largest foreign bank group in Hong Kong, and its scale was not small. Now it is under the management of John Horseman and has been greatly affected.
The size of Wheelock Group is actually ranked first among the current Imperial Group.
Even before the Wharf Group.
The selection of the general manager of Wheelock Group must be done with great care.
"Boss, I wonder if you are planning to transfer from the top class of other major groups, or directly from the secretariat?"
Now that the two major shareholders of Wheelock & Company, the Zhang family and the Ma Shi family have sold all their shares to the Imperial Group, it means that the management of the two major families will all withdraw from Wheelock.
Whether it's John Mashile or the Zhang family.
In addition to the executives of these two families, Wheelock actually has other white executives and Chinese executives.
Among these people, there is no one who can really hold this position.
Historically, after Yugang Bao successfully acquired Wheelock & Company, Yugang Bao served as the chairman of Wheelock Group during his lifetime.
After Bao Yugang was diagnosed with cancer, the Bao family was divided into four. Among them, Wharf and Wheelock fell into the hands of Wu Guangzhen. From then on, the chairman of Wheelock became Wu Guangzhen.
Now that Wheelock has been acquired by the Imperial Group, it has nothing to do with the Bao family and Wu Guangzhen.
"Mailisi, I already have a candidate. Of course, it's also a transitional one."
transitional phase?
"Is it still Mr. John Horse Stool?"
What do you say about this horse stool?
He is still very capable, but he just insisted on developing the shipping industry, which is why he made Wheelock like this.
He sold all his shares to the Imperial Group, and the Imperial Group could hire him as Wheelock's chief executive.
Yang Ming shook his head and said: "Mr. Ma Shi has given up on Wheelock himself. It is impossible to manage Wheelock anymore."
"Boss, who is that?"
"Mr. John Pao."
John Bao?
Melis was shocked and speechless.
Who is John Bao?
John Bao was originally the vice chairman of Huifeng Bank and had always been Shen Bi's deputy. However, John Bao had retired and returned to Country Y last year.
John Bao has been working at Huifeng Bank for so many years and is very capable. If he hadn't met Shen Yi, he would have had the opportunity to become the top manager of Huifeng Bank.
"Boss, didn't he retire and go back to London?"
"He has returned to Xiangjiang."
Historically, in order for Chen Songqing to successfully reorganize the Jianing Group, the Jianing Group hired someone from country Y with a monthly salary of 10 Hong Kong dollars to serve as a representative of the creditor bank and sit on the board of directors of the Jianing Group.
The historical reorganization of Jianing Group failed.
The current Jianing Group is even gone.
However, this does not mean that John Bao cannot return to Hong Kong.
John Bao has lived in Xiangjiang for a long time. If the Imperial Group hired him with a high salary to come back to work in Xiangjiang, the other party would be very happy.
At this time, the monthly salary of Taipan under the Imperial Group is the highest in Hong Kong, and even in the world.
Last night, Yang Ming had asked Barlow to meet John Bao in person.
John Bao learned that Empire Group had swallowed up Wheelock, the third largest foreign trade company in Hong Kong, and hired him back to Hong Kong with a high salary to serve as the general manager of Wheelock Group.
John Bao agreed immediately without thinking.
This kind of opportunity is very rare.
He just returned to London because he retired.
If there is still work in Xiangjiang, he will come back.
Meris was really surprised when he heard that the boss actually hired John Bao to come back as Wheelock's top manager.
However, he felt it was normal.
Now Peter Wei and even Mou Shili are directors of Huifeng Bank. If John Bao is included, then they don't count at all.
"Boss, you are further ahead than I thought."
Melis still said in admiration.
"Both John Bao and Mou Shili are in the transitional stage. When suitable candidates are available, they will take over their positions."
Merith nodded.
He felt that the boss's recommendation of John Bao was indeed very good.
11:30am.
Imperial Group Conference Room.
In addition to Yang Ming, Mai Lisi, Tang Shilian, Lin Xiuzhi, Ma Shimin, Wei Li, Li Caixin, Bao Fuda, Xia Boyin, Wei Peter, Mou Shili, Mannix, Albert and others attended today's meeting.
"Everyone, I have some big news for you."
When Ma Shimin and others were still wondering what big break the boss was going to tell them.
"The Empire Group has just officially signed a contract with the Zhang family, the largest shareholder of Wheelock & Company, and the Mato family, the second largest shareholder, to acquire all their shares in Wheelock & Company. In other words, our Empire Group has already Devouring Wheelock & Co., the third largest foreign trade house in Hong Kong."
