Why does Sir Gao Miss Qi dezun, a former figure in Xiangjiang business circles?
The reason is very simple. When Hutchison fell into a business crisis and was forced by Huifeng bank, Qi dezun chose to dispose of the core assets of the Huangpu dock, such as container terminal and land reserve, to Gaoxian.
According to the current specific situation, the container terminal in the core assets of Huangpu dock has accounted for more than half of the container throughput of Xiangjiang port; If all the old docks are developed into houses, they can sell more than 9 billion yuan, and the net profit is more than 50%.
In this case, when Shen Bi, the senior class of Huifeng bank, treated the recovered Heji in the Wei Li era to Li Bancheng, Li Bancheng got a discount compared with the old script, and the less part is less, and there is no substitutability.
With this origin, Gao Xian's friendship with Qi dezun has become a model of Xiangjiang's business circles.
Therefore, after the news of Qi dezun's death came, Gao Xian quickly returned to Xiangjiang from the mainland, expressed the sigh of "I met during the Spring Festival, but I didn't expect to die a month later", and then helped with the aftercare.
From a secular point of view, how a person gets along is not only reflected in his glory before death, but also in his sorrow and glory after death.
Qi dezun failed to build Hutchison into a family industry handed down from generation to generation like the kaiserk family of Jardine and the Shi huaiya family of Taigu. In addition, Xiangjiang, which belongs to the Chinese society, is also a time and space "borrowed" by the British. It is not difficult to imagine that his future events, without the help of adults and things, it is difficult to get substantive attention and anyone will speak.
According to the wishes of Qi dezun's family and Qi dezun's habits before his death, Qi dezun's memorial service was held at St. John's church, which is located on Garden Road on Hong Kong Island and belongs to the level of cathedral. More than 500 people attended, in addition to the official Hong Kong Governor MacLehose, Chief Secretary Jida and Qi dezun's friends before his death, Even Shen Bi, the senior class of Huifeng bank, who has an inexhaustible relationship with Qi dezun, and Li Bancheng, who has become the chairman of the board of directors of Hutchison from the executive director of the board of directors of Hutchison on New Year's day this year, were present.
After helping to finish all this, Gao Xian breathed a sigh of relief. This source can be regarded as a perfect understanding. After all, the things behind the dead are largely for the living.
Taking the opportunity of this activity, Li Bancheng and Gao Xian had a face-to-face chat about Heji. This makes Gao Xian secretly sigh that with Qi dezun's death, the history of Heji has been finalized for more than 20 years after the Second World War.
Just as Xiangjiang land is really integrated into happy group and Hutchison is truly integrated into Dajiang industry, it is also a long process that tests patience and skill. Although Li Bancheng has taken office as chairman of the board of directors of Hutchison, the actual control of Hutchison is still in the hands of Hutchison management headed by Hutchison President Richard Xin.
The specific situation of Heji is very different from Xiangjiang land.
Xiangjiang land's business is mainly real estate, while Hutchison is a huge diversified group with a wide range of business scope. In addition to real estate, there are retail, pharmaceutical and so on. For Li Bancheng, who has entered the real estate industry from plastic flowers, there is a shortage of talents in his confidants.
In addition, it must be mentioned that Li Bancheng's so-called bloodless acquisition of the controlling stake in Hutchison is essentially based on his close relationship with Shen Bi, the senior class of Huifeng bank. This "trick" is very different from Gaoxian's bloody "captured" Xiangjiang land in prestige.
One of the most obvious manifestations is that Richard Xin, President of Hutchison, is so high-profile that he even chases after Li Bancheng, so that the "old" management of Hutchison and his confidants inserted into Hutchison with Li Bancheng have fought openly and secretly. However, those dissident family members in Xiangjiang land only dare to engage in covert actions with their tails.
Under the background of the current double prosperity of Xiangjiang real estate stock market, Hutchison has made a lot of money from real estate. Last year, that is, 1980, the net profit was preliminarily estimated to be more than 300 million. However, Richard Xin, President of Hutchison, has always regarded Hutchison's money on the grounds that "Mr. Li promised to maintain Hutchison's independence and Hutchison's profits should naturally be used for Hutchison's development", Li Bancheng has begun to lose patience.
This contradiction is somewhat similar to that of huidefeng, who wanted to sell himself to Jardine's company a few years ago. The shipping industry, which John Madden paid the most attention to, suffered serious losses, while the real estate business controlled by the major shareholder Zhang Yuliang made a lot of profits. John Madden wanted to make up for the deficit of the shipping industry with the profits of the real estate industry, but Zhang Yuliang resolutely stopped it, which finally led to the "demand for maintenance" outside A farce.
Li Bancheng's Dajiang industry, like other Chinese funded consortia in Xiangjiang, has expanded everywhere in recent years, and the demand for funds is endless. Of course, he hopes Hutchison can "feed" himself. But from Richard Xin's words and behavior, as long as he controls Hutchison's management power, the possibility of "voluntary" is very small.
This time, the theme of Li Bancheng's discussion with Sir Gao is to see if he can join hands with Gao Yi, an important shareholder of Hutchison, and forcibly "draw blood" from Hutchison at the level of the board of directors.
From the perspective of happy group, money must always be the best in your pocket; From the perspective of high profit, of course, investment should be rewarded. If Hutchison can pay dividends on a large scale, Gaoyi will be recorded in a lot of accounts.
Gao Xian could not get rid of this simple criterion. He frowned and said, "Richard Xin is really not interesting. I thought he could learn from his predecessor and remember big ben Weili, and have a clear understanding of the rules of the game in the business field."
These words actually showed Gao Xian's attitude towards which side he supported. Li Bancheng secretly breathed a sigh of relief and echoed: "Richard Xin became increasingly arrogant after he took the position of president of Hutchison. He has inflated so much that he doesn't see me as the chairman of the board of directors. It's time to restrain him."
"Gao Yi, as always, is on Li Sheng's side." Gao Xian made a clear statement in a positive tone, and then asked, "just, in this way, we should beware of Richard Xin's anger. Is Li Sheng ready for Dajiang industry to take over and remember?"
Li Bancheng's eyes glittered with perseverance and replied: "in a year at most, all the talents of Dajiang industry can be in place."
Gao Xian looked at Li Bancheng's head, which might become bright because of his hard work day and night, and nodded slightly: "OK, although Li Sheng shows his fists and feet, Gao Yi will fully cooperate with Dajiang industry."
