I became the richest man in the world after losing my life in a vegetative state - Chapter 1495
#1495: Sir Zheng meets Sir Yang!
Today is Christmas.
That means it is already the end of December.
The temperature in Hong Kong has also dropped a lot.
Zheng Mingxun hurriedly drove to the Repulse Bay Hillside Villa after receiving Huo Jianning’s call.
Although he had seen the Yang family’s Hillside Villa many times on TV and in newspapers, he still came here in person. Now the Repulse Bay Hillside Villa is like a small town, and Yang Ming has expanded it many times.
Zheng Mingxun followed the navigation to the gate, opened the door at the gate, and let him in after the bodyguard confirmed his identity, and then was taken to the garden by the bodyguard.
It is morning now, and there are gusts of mountain wind blowing in the garden. Zheng Mingxun feels that it is stronger than the mountain wind in the Taipingshan Hillside Villa.
Zheng Mingxun, who was originally quite excited, now calmed himself down again.
“Sir Zheng, I’ll go and notify the boss to come over.”
Before 1992, that is, before Zheng Mingxun became the head of Yingzhijie, he had been awarded a knighthood by the Queen.
However, Zheng Mingxun knew that there were many Chinese who were awarded knighthoods in Hong Kong.
Many cabinet members, secretariat members, and even some important executives of the Empire Group have basically been awarded knighthood or knighthood.
It seems that the more knighthood there is, the less gold content there is.
In fact, in the 1990s, the knighthood or knighthood awarded by the Queen still had some influence.
However, Zheng Mingxun knew very well that his knighthood was still far behind that of Sir Yang.
After the bodyguard left.
Zheng Mingxun looked at the building of the Repulse Bay Mid-Levels Villa.
He did not expect that since the late 1970s, Sir Yang suddenly appeared and began to acquire Wharf & Co., swallowed up Hutchison Whampoa, and a series of British-funded foreign companies in Hong Kong.
Today, except for Taikoo, which barely maintains its shares, other British-funded foreign companies have basically been swallowed up by the Empire Group.
Including the Innolux Group, which is now known as the last foreign company in Hong Kong.
This made Zheng Mingxun never think that Hong Kong had a business genius like Sir Yang.
Zheng Mingxun was still thinking there.
At this time, Yang Ming, Azhu and others went to the garden.
When Yang Ming just saw a middle-aged man in a suit standing there, Zheng Mingxun had already seen Sir Yang.
Zheng Mingxun hurriedly stood up.
Yang Ming is now nearly 40 years old, but because he is well maintained, he looks only in his 30s.
Zheng Mingxun is already in his 50s, but he is also well maintained. As a superior for a long time, he also has a different aura.
However, compared with Yang Ming, it is still far behind.
Zheng Mingxun hurriedly stood up and greeted Yang Ming.
“Hello, Sir Yang.”
“Hello, Sir Zheng.”
The two shook hands.
At Yang Ming’s signal, Zheng Mingxun sat down opposite Yang Ming.
It must be said that in Yang Ming’s view, people who can become the elites of this era, in addition to different vision, look good.
At the beginning, when Yang Ming first saw Yuan Tianfan, he felt that Yuan Tianfan’s face was really good, giving people the feeling that this kind of person is a person who can do great things.
Now Zheng Mingxun’s face for Yang Ming is also like that, looking very imposing.
Although his face is different from that of Yuan Tianfan, he can be seen as a man who can do great things.
In history, Yang Ming remembered that the most famous sentence Zheng Mingxun said was “I often find myself playing the role of a bridge, as a bridge between the mainland, Hong Kong and Country Y.”
This sentence seems ordinary, but it actually shows that the Yingzhijie Group has already used Hong Kong as a springboard at that time, and its business volume in China is increasing.
The Yingzhijie Group is not only a large-scale group company in Country Y, but also a Fortune 500 company.
It’s just that in Yang Ming’s previous life, there was no Chinese capital to acquire the Yingzhijie Group.
Now Yang Ming and the Empire Group have swallowed up this Fortune 500 company.
“Sir Zheng, do you know that the Empire Group has acquired the Yingzhijie Group?”
“Sir Yang, I just received a notice from the major shareholder in Country Y some time ago.”
In other words, he didn’t know that the Empire Group was quietly acquiring the Yingzhijie Group. It was because of that that Zheng Mingxun felt betrayed.
And the ones who betrayed him were the major shareholders who asked him to come back to serve as the head of the Yingzhijie Group.
He was betrayed by those major shareholders, but he had no way to do anything.
After all, he was just a professional manager.
“What do you think?”
“Sir Yang, this is the pride of the Chinese and the pride of Hong Kong.”
The Yingzhijie Group was swallowed up by the Empire Group, what else could he do?
If the major shareholders asked for his opinion, he would be absolutely opposed to selling the Yingzhijie Group to the Empire Group.
After all, the business of the Yingzhijie Group overseas, in Hong Kong, and in the Mainland is getting bigger and bigger, and the profit is getting more and more considerable.
In this case, the Yingzhijie Group must continue to grow and develop, and there is no need to sell it.
Although the price offered by the Empire Group is very high, 120 billion Hong Kong dollars is indeed enough to buy this group.
However, as a Chinese, Zheng Mingxun is really unwilling to let the Yingzhijie Group fall into the hands of the Empire Group.
“What is your real thought?”
Real thought?
Zheng Mingxun felt that he was seen through by Sir Yang at a glance.
“Sir Yang, if I say that I don’t want the major shareholder to sell the Inchcape Group to the Empire Group, will you be angry?”
“Why should I be angry? This is normal. Of course, I can understand your idea.”
Maybe in the eyes of many people, even if the Inchcape Group is swallowed up by the Empire Group, for Zheng Mingxun, it may just be a change of boss.
In fact, it is still very different.
This is why some people feel different when working for white people and working for Chinese.
In addition to salary and benefits, there is also the management system.
In addition, working for white people is obviously more free.
If you work for Chinese, you may be subject to more restrictions.
No matter what Zheng Mingxun said, he has been the head of the Inchcape Group since 1992, that is, as the top leader, he is not interfered by others. He thinks that he can make the Inchcape Group develop better.
But now that it has been acquired by the Empire Group, I don’t know if he can keep his position as the head.
Zheng Mingxun was a little shocked when he heard what Sir Yang said.
Sure enough, it is not easy for Sir Yang to achieve such achievements today.
“I want to see your thoughts on the management of Yingzhijie in the future?”
In other words, how did the other party manage Yingzhijie Group after it was acquired by Empire Group?
This is Yang Ming’s assessment of him. If he fails, he will have to give up this position.
Zheng Mingxun said directly: “Sir Yang, if I am still in this position, I will continue to expand the business in Greater China.”
In other words, Zheng Mingxun will continue to expand the domestic business like Yang Ming did in his previous life. (End of this chapter)
