Chapter 670: Retreat to advance
While the reporters were shocked, they did not notice that not far away, two young men wearing casual clothes and peaked caps rode bicycles slowly and leisurely towards the entrance of the underground garage.
There were reporters guarding this place originally, but now they all ran away when they heard Xu Liang appeared.
Looking at Huo Gang who was surrounded by reporters in the distance, Lu Hui smiled.
"Mr. Xu, your trick of attacking east and west really works."
"This is because reporters from Xiangjiang are not familiar with us, so it may not work in the capital. Let's go in."
Going around to the underground garage, Qiu Yushan, who had received instructions in advance, was already waiting here.
Qiu Yushan was also a little surprised when he saw Xu Liang coming by bicycle.
"Xu Sheng."
"I kept you waiting for a long time to hide from reporters."
"No, I've just arrived. ...Mr. Xu, let's go in."
"Haha, Xu Sheng, I'm not too late," Li Zhaoji said.
Xu Liang greeted him with a smile.
The Chief Executive Officer is a member of the Board of Directors.
Old God Xu Liang was sitting there without any intention of speaking.
In a slightly depressing atmosphere, except for the occasional drink of water and coughing, the entire conference room was very quiet.
The Board of Directors is the highest decision-making body of the Hong Kong Stock Exchange and consists of 2 to 13 members with a term of not more than 3 years.
Follow the stairs to the large conference room of the Hong Kong Stock Exchange Group.
Xu Liang was stunned for a moment. He did not expect that the other party knew how to advance and retreat.
A maximum of 6 directors shall be appointed by the Financial Secretary of Heung Kong.
Qiu Yushan said quickly.
Hong Kong is a completely free capitalist society.
The general meeting of shareholders is the highest authority of the Hong Kong Stock Exchange, consisting of the board of directors and management.
Not long after, the door of the conference room was pushed open again.
Although Xu Liang is a world-class rich man, he is not from Xiangjiang.
After nodding, he walked to the empty seat in the middle of the conference room and sat down majestically.
Among them, the Standing Committee consists of 5 members, including the chairman of the board of directors and the group chief executive. This committee is responsible for regularly collecting the latest information of the group, approving the group's main operating affairs, and reporting work to the board of directors on a regular basis.
“No, no, uncle, please sit down.”
Although the Hong Kong Stock Exchange is a company, it is different from ordinary companies.
The management has a management committee, which is the decision-making organization of the management and is responsible for daily operational decision-making and business execution. The group chief executive serves as the chairman of the management committee.
It's a pity that he ignored one point.
"Uncle Four."
"Yes."
With Qiu Yushan in his sight, the security guard guarding the underground garage quickly let him go.
Hanhua has spent more than four years proving that he can earn generous rewards for any GP he cooperates with.
This was also the original Zhou Wenyao's greatest confidence.
No matter what job we do, our core purpose is to make money.
"You are the protagonist today, and I, the old man, will join in the fun and not steal your limelight."
It can be seen that the change of management of the Hong Kong Stock Exchange requires the consent of the Hong Kong government.
The board of directors consists of the Board Standing Committee and the Management Committee.
Xu Liang originally planned to invite Li Zhaoji to the middle seat, but he refused.
Including auditing, compensation, investment, risk, nomination and governance, risk management, advisory group selection, corporate social responsibility committee, etc.
Xu Liang scanned around.
"President Li Zhu has resigned."
When he walked in, all the people who had been waiting here also looked over.
Therefore, as long as he takes the equity of the Hong Kong Stock Exchange, there will be no obstacles at the official level.
The board of directors is responsible for the group's policies and strategic direction, supervises the group's business development, selects, appoints or removes senior executives, and convenes shareholders' meetings, etc.
The more than 20 shareholder representatives below all focused their attention on him.
A hale and hearty old man in a black suit walked in.
The Management Committee is composed of board members or independent directors and is responsible for assisting the board of directors in making relevant decisions or strategic assessments.
"Why isn't Li Yeguang here?"
Among them, the chairman of the board of directors is a non-executive director and is appointed by the board of directors. He must be approved by the Chief Executive of Hong Kong and the maximum term is 6 years.
Xu Liang nodded with a smile and said no more.
Wait for Li Zhaoji to sit down.
Facing everyone's gaze, Xu Liang patted the painting tube on the table, and smiled when there was no problem.
"Everyone should know me, so there is no need to introduce myself.
The main reason for convening the extraordinary shareholders' meeting today is that there have been major changes in the equity of the Hong Kong Stock Exchange Group.
In addition, the previous board of directors has already It cannot adapt to the new market situation and lead the Hong Kong Stock Exchange to continue to develop in an increasingly competitive environment.
So we need to select a new board of directors.
At the same time, I also suggest that. Mr. Li Zhaoji will serve as the chairman of the board of directors, and Qiu Yushan will serve as the chief executive officer."
Xu Liang's words surprised everyone.
They did not expect that Xu Liang would take the initiative to give up his position as chairman of the board of directors after winning an easy victory.
And the person who surrendered was still Li Zhaoji.
As one of the few big men in Xiangjiang. "Fourth Uncle" Li Zhaoji was far from being comparable to Xu Liang in terms of connections and status in Xiangjiang.
His ascendancy will greatly reduce the uneasiness of listed companies and stock investors over Xu Liang's control of the Hong Kong Stock Exchange.
"In addition, I suggest that Hu Wen and Lu Xiaojie... continue to serve as directors and lead the Hong Kong Stock Exchange to develop smoothly and orderly."
Xu Liang named seven people, They are all directors who were originally 'loyal' to him on the board of directors.
"Xu Liang, the directors of the Hong Kong Stock Exchange need to be appointed by the Financial Secretary. You have no power to make your own decisions." Zhou Wenyao couldn't help but said.
Xu Liang didn’t even look at him.
Take a document straight out of your briefcase.
"This is a document signed by the Financial Secretary Tang. He appointed Xia Changsheng, Sun Zhenping, Guo Shaojie, and Mr. Li Zhaoji as non-executive directors of the Hong Kong Stock Exchange."
Xia Changsheng is Hongyan Fund COO, Sun Zhenping and Guo Shaojie are also senior executives of Hanhua Xiangjiang.
Li Zhaoji is Xu Liang’s best partner in Hong Kong, and Hanhua has an investment of nearly one billion US dollars from the other party.
The interests of both parties are too deeply combined.
"If you don't believe it, you can call the Finance Department now for more information."
Xu Liang's solemn words completely dispelled Zhou Wenyao's last hope.
The shareholders' meeting went smoothly and everything was under Xu Liang's control.
Thirteen directors including Xu Liang were finally selected.
Every position in the company is just as he thought.
Li Zhaoji serves as chairman of the board of directors, but does not interfere in the company's specific management.
Qiu Yushan serves as the executive president and is fully responsible for the management of the Hong Kong Stock Exchange.
Xu Liang sits behind the scenes and is responsible for the strategic development of the Hong Kong Stock Exchange.
The plan was submitted and the Hong Kong government approved it.
The press conference was held in the HKEx Group Conference Room at Connaught Place.
Almost all important media in Hong Kong, including major global media, are here.
Hundreds of people packed the entire conference room.
They got the news in advance.
In this press conference, Xu Liang will be interviewed by everyone.
Everyone is curious about this super-rich man who has become increasingly famous but lives an extremely low-key life.
As time passes little by little.
A series of footsteps sounded, and a group of people filed in.
Many reporters stretched their necks, but did not see Xu Liang himself.
Qiu Yushan picked up the microphone.
“Hello, fellow reporters, I am Qiu Yushan, CEO of the Hong Kong Stock Exchange. I welcome you all to attend today’s press conference.”
"Mr. Qiu, where has Mr. Xu Liang gone?"
"Why didn't Xu Sheng come?"...
The conference room instantly became noisy.
They came here just for Xu Liang, but they were let go and no one wanted to replace them.
"Quiet, please be quiet and listen to me. ... Mr. Xu Liang was unable to come because he had something to do. He specifically asked me to apologize to everyone on his behalf.
In addition, Mr. Xu Liang also asked me to announce something on his behalf.
He has decided to donate all the Hong Kong Stock Exchange shares held by his own companies to the 'Xu Family Charitable Foundation'. All future dividends from the Hong Kong Stock Exchange Group will be used to help Hong Kong and Macao. , Mainland China, Wanwan children's serious illness medical treatment and poverty-stricken education assistance.
And cooperated with the School of Medicine of Xiangjiang University to carry out research on major and difficult diseases such as leukemia and cancer... "
Looking at the scene on TV.
Li Jiacheng sighed: "Now no one in Hong Kong opposes his acquisition of the Hong Kong Stock Exchange. ”
Li Zeju next to him looked solemn.
When I knew Xu Liang before, I was surprised by his talent in finance and his achievements in the technology industry.
But the series of tactics displayed by the other party in acquiring the Hong Kong Stock Exchange Group this time allowed him to see the other party's fortitude and decisiveness.
Never be stingy when it comes to spending money.
Don’t hesitate when it’s time to give up.
Push Li Zhaoji to the top and stabilize the Hong Kong Stock Exchange Group, the government and all listed companies.
Donating the equity of the Hong Kong Stock Exchange Group has won the hearts and minds of the entire Hong Kong.
A combination of elimination and suppression suppressed all the unfavorable factors for his acquisition of the Hong Kong Stock Exchange Group.
Li Zekai looked at the pictures on TV jealously.
Although he was not convinced, he also admitted that the opponent's move was indeed beautiful.
If it were him, he would never donate the equity he received, even if it was his own family fund.
"Why didn't Xu Liang go that day?" Li Jiacheng asked.
“I heard that his aunt gave birth at Union Hospital that day.”
“Haha, it’s difficult for a hero to be a beauty.”
“Are you giving birth now?”
"I gave birth to twins, a dragon and a phoenix."
"You are a lucky one. Let me send you a gift."
"Yes."
Li Zeju agreed.
