Chapter 179 The Successor of Tianwen Oil Company
The meeting with Lin Boxin was still very successful.
Su City is planning to hand over the purchase of six theaters under the Lixin Group to Zhang Qizheng.
Anyway, the deal has been settled. Next, we only need to discuss some detailed issues, and then we can sign the transfer contract and transfer the money!
As for Lei Juekun's Lisheng Cinema, Su Cheng was not familiar with him, so he asked Lin Boxin and Lei Juekun to find out the news first, and then make plans at that time.
All we have to do now is wait.
On September 10, Su Cheng met with Zhang Qizheng, who had just returned from Singapore.
"Boss, I have some good news for you." Zhang Qizheng said with a smile as soon as they met.
"Oh? Uncle Zhang, if you have any good news, I'm all ears!" Su Cheng asked curiously.
“As the successor of Tianwen Oil Company, I have found a very suitable one.” Zhang Qizheng said.
"Uncle Zhang, please tell me carefully about the specific situation of this suitable successor." Su Cheng became more energetic.
"Since Su Group acquired Sanyo Headhunting Company, I asked them to help find a suitable manager for Tianwen Oil Company. Last week, Mr. Liu called me and said that he had found a more suitable manager. candidate, he is currently in Singapore.
The information given by Mr. Liu is that this Chinese named Li Yihui was born in Singapore in 1934. He graduated from the University of London with a major in petroleum. A drilling engineer joined BP Petroleum Company. He has been responsible for operations in the Gulf of Mexico and India, including serving as a drilling engineer for the development of very large oil fields. Since 1972, Li Yihui has been responsible for managing BP Group's Asian operations and served as President of BP Petroleum Company Asia. Based in Jiapo, Singapore.
Although Li Yihui now holds a high position in BP Petroleum Company, due to his Chinese identity, he has made considerable contributions to BP Petroleum Company in opening up many new markets in Asia. , but he has been unable to be promoted in the position of Asia President. Basically, his current position has reached the top.
So, he had the idea of changing jobs, and the elite headhunting consultants of Sanyo Headhunting Company found him. At that time, he had a very strong interest in Tianwen Oil Company, so I flew directly to Singapore two days ago to have a negotiation with him. After the negotiation, I returned to Xiangjiang.”
Zhang Qizheng reported to Su Cheng in detail.
President of PB Petroleum Asia?
Su Cheng was still a little surprised after hearing this.
You know, BP Oil Company is a well-known large enterprise in the oil industry and is one of the largest private oil companies in the world.
Su City never thought that just a start-up Tianwen Oil Company could recruit senior managers from the world's top oil companies.
However, BP's top management in Asia is already very good. According to Zhang Qizheng's introduction, there is no problem for such a person to enter the group headquarters as a senior executive.
He was discriminated against just because of his Chinese identity, which was very harmful to him.
It’s no wonder that Li Yihui wants to change jobs.
There is no hope of promotion, so why stay?
"How did you go to Singapore to talk to him?" Su Cheng asked.
This is the key point, but from the good news he said before, it is obvious that the negotiation has been completed and will be reported to his boss.
“The main reason why he is interested in Tianwen Oil Company is that in the past two months, boss, you have made too much noise. Previous investments of tens of billions have entered the oil industry news. As well as the tens of billions invested in hoarding crude oil later, Boss, your reputation is known to everyone in the oil industry. With a big financial backer behind you, as long as Boss, you are willing to invest heavily in the oil industry, even though Tianwen Oil Company is now It is just a start-up company, but it has unlimited future potential. This is why Mr. Li Yihui is interested in Tianwen Oil Company.
In Singapore, I talked a lot with him about oil in detail. He talked to me a lot about the company's future development and planning. He is worthy of being a professional in the petroleum industry. I very much recognize the ability of Mr. Li Yihui. Such a talent is worth bringing over to work for you, boss. " Zhang Qizheng replied.
"You think he is capable, which means he is indeed a talent. Well, I will leave it to you to replace the management of Tianwen Oil Company." Su Cheng replied directly.
According to the information Zhang Qizheng said, he was very satisfied with Li Yihui.
For such a person to serve as the current general manager of Tianwen Oil Company can even be said to be a talentless person.
After returning, Su Cheng will ask Brother Wu to check the details of Li Yihui.
If the information found is really what Zhang Qizheng said, then the position of general manager of Tianwen Oil Company belongs to Mr. Li Yihui.
Tianwen Petroleum Company, except for the 170 million barrels of crude oil currently being stored, the entire company can be said to be under construction and development. A regional president of a world-class oil company serves as the general manager of Tianwen Petroleum Company. , more than enough.
As for the 170 million barrels of crude oil, which will be sold to raise funds after a period of time, these are naturally not included in the assets of Tianwen Oil Company.
"By the way, boss, you came to me in person. You must have other matters, right?" Zhang Qizheng asked.
"Well, there is indeed something I need you to do. I have negotiated with the boss of Lai Sun Group, Lin Boxin, to acquire six theaters under Lai Sun Group with a capital of 10 million Hong Kong dollars. Please help me with this matter. Get rid of him.
In addition, I am also interested in the Lisheng Cinemas chain owned by Mr. Lei Juekkun, the chairman of Kowloon Bus. I have already entrusted Lin Boxin to discuss this matter with Mr. Lei Juekkun. Once there is news, you will be informed. Help me take charge of the negotiations, and I will build the largest cinema chain in Hong Kong," Su Cheng said with a smile.
He has given Jiayi TV so many movie scripts that once the first round of movies is shot, the theaters will not be afraid that there will be no movies to play.
For example, Golden Harvest Films only released ten movies last year. Together with some films from independent production companies, Golden Harvest Cinemas made a lot of money.
So, in setting up this largest theater chain in Hong Kong, Su City is not worried at all about not having any movies to play.
With the Jiashi in Su Cheng's hands and his current status, he is really not afraid that Jiahe and Shaw will join forces to deal with him.
"Boss, won't the theater chain be merged into Jiashi? As far as I know, boss, you have asked Mr. Liang, the general manager of Jiashi, to set up a film department internally." Zhang Qizheng asked in surprise.
“Let’s not merge it for the time being. Let’s establish an independent theater company first. After Liang Shuyi proves her ability and can indeed run an entertainment group, she will form an entertainment company and integrate Jiashi, Brokerage Companies, movie companies, theaters, etc. have been merged into this entertainment group. It’s better not to put too much pressure on her now and take her time,” Su Cheng said with a smile.
As far as he knew, Liang Shuyi had already hired several heavyweight producers and directors from Shaw Brothers and Golden Harvest in order to form a film department, and she was already screening roles for two movies, and the speed was very good.
The characteristic of Hong Kong's movies in the 1970s and 1980s is that they were shot very quickly. It is normal for a movie to only take one or two months from shooting to release.
In the 1950s, Hong Kong filmmakers once used the term "seven days fresh" when making Cantonese films. The so-called "seven days fresh" meant that the shortest time from the start of filming to the official release of a movie was 7-10 days.
