Melis was also deeply surprised when he received a call from Li Ka-shing.
The last time we met was just over a month ago. I didn’t expect that he would be looking for me again so soon.
"Could it be that he still doesn't want to give up and wants to invite me to join the Yangtze River Industrial Group?" Melis thought in his mind.
Although it was unclear why Li Ka-shing asked him to have a private conversation, Melis agreed to his invitation.
After all, he and Li Ka-shing have known each other for some time, and the two are already old friends.
Moreover, he is still the president of Haw Par Company, and Li Ka-shing is a partner of Haw Par Company. No matter what, he should see him.
The time was around 6:30 in the evening, that is, after he got off work.
After applying to resign from the board of directors of Haw Par Company, Mellis' main job at Haw Par Company is now to hand over work.
Therefore, he no longer needs to think too much about the company, and he no longer needs to work overtime until late at night. When it is time to get off work, he can just get off work and leave.
Seeing that Melis agreed to the invitation, Li Ka-shing was relieved and had a smile on his face.
This time, Mr. Melis can definitely be dragged to Xiangjiang to work for their Yangtze River Industrial Group.
After the invitation, Li Ka-shing went to the company office to learn about some detailed business conditions of Cheung Kong Industrial Group in Singapore recently. The person in charge of the branch will also report to him the current problems encountered by the company.
Li Ka-shing has long been accustomed to these things, because he likes to make the final decision on big things, and his subordinates dare not make decisions easily. At least they have to wait for the boss to make the final decision before they dare to take action.
This is the management model of Chinese business owners.
Most bosses are afraid that their subordinates will have too much power and may engage in corruption or other things that harm the interests of the company.
Like Li Ka-shing's Cheung Kong Holdings, he has such great power, which to a certain extent prevents senior executives from harming the company's interests, but it also makes him very tired.
This is a common problem among Chinese entrepreneurs. If they don’t trust others, they can only do everything by themselves.
Next, Li Ka-shing is looking forward to the arrival at 6:30 in the afternoon, when he will be able to see Melis again, and then invite him to join the Yangtze River Industrial Group again on the most sincere terms.
After learning so much knowledge about European and American business management, Li Ka-shing already knew what his problem was.
So, he has decided to change his management model, and Melis is the beginning.
As long as Merlis can be successfully invited to the Yangtze River Industrial Group, he will try to delegate power. He will definitely not interfere too much in what Merlis should take care of!
Although he was very confident that he could invite Mellis to join him this time, before the matter was successful, he didn't know why he was worried about something happening.
With this idea, Li Ka-shing is not in the mood to pay attention to the affairs of the branch.
But now, it is only noon, still far from 6:30 pm.
The time soon came to half past two in the afternoon.
Hong Kong, Kai Tak International Airport.
Sioux City’s private plane landed smoothly on the runway and finally stopped steadily on an apron.
When Su Cheng and the others got off the plane, the bodyguards who had been staying in Xiangjiang had already arrived at the plane in their cars to welcome Su Cheng back. Perhaps because the trip to Singapore was too short, Sioux City didn’t even feel much.
Furthermore, the private jet in Suzhou City is very comfortable, and with Ami taking care of him, he doesn't even feel tired from the journey.
After checking the time, it was still early, so Su Cheng asked the driver to take him to Tianyuan Building.
Amei and Su Cheng asked another car to take her back to the Su family villa first.
Although A Mei is not tired, he is not used to bringing Gillian and A Mei to the company.
Now that the successor of Chung Hwa Bus has been found, we should talk to Zhang Qizheng and let him prepare for the handover with Melis. Although it will take more than ten days for Melis to officially resign from Haw Par Company, However, early notification can also allow Zhang Qizheng and Melis to contact each other in advance, and the handover of Zhonghua Bus will be smoother by then.
In the new office of China Bus in Tianyuan Building, Su Cheng saw Zhang Qizheng who was busy.
Now that he has to take care of two large companies, he is indeed much busier than before.
This is not an act, but something Su Cheng can feel.
“Boss, are you back to Xiangjiang so soon?”
Zhang Qizheng was also a little surprised when he saw Su Cheng. After all, he also knew that Su Cheng had only gone to Singapore two days ago. I thought it had only been two or three days before I came back again.
Moreover, this morning’s news newspaper also reported that Sioux City was awarded the "Honorary Citizen of Singapore" medal in Singapore last night. As everyone knows, Sioux City is in Singapore. .
A small medal of "Honorary Citizen of Singapore" is not surprising. Although this matter made the news in Hong Kong, everyone took it for granted.
"Well, I finished my errands over there and came back when I had nothing to do. No, I just got off the plane and ran here." Su Cheng said with a smile.
"Boss, sit down and I'll get you a glass of water." Zhang Qizheng stretched a chair wider and pointed at the chair and said to Su Cheng.
Su Cheng nodded and sat down.
Zhang Qizheng quickly poured a glass of drinking water and placed it on the table in front of Su Cheng.
"Are you still busy these days?" Su Cheng took a sip of drinking water, put down the cup and looked up and asked.
"It's okay. I'm slowly getting used to the rhythm. In addition, the offices of Tianyuan Investment Company and China Bus are now in Tianyuan Building. I don't have to walk around, but I can still be busy." Zhang Qizheng put the table on the table After putting the documents aside, he started chatting with Su Cheng.
"How have you been with Zhonghua Bus these days? No problems, right?" Su Cheng continued to ask.
“At present, our work is mainly focused on improving service quality. We have put some thought into rectifying this aspect, and the effect is still very good. However, our operating costs have indeed increased a lot. According to our predictions, It is estimated that after the comprehensive rectification is completed, excluding new buses and the like, the cost will increase by about 40%. At present, through our survey, the public has given very high affirmation to the changes made by our Chunghwa Bus. In the past, There are dozens of calls to complain every day, and now the number has been reduced to a few. We strive to reduce the number of complaints to zero," Zhang Qizheng replied.
Su Cheng nodded and said with a smile: "It's no wonder that Yan Chengkun doesn't pay attention to service. The increase in operating costs means that their profits will decrease. They only rely on the bus business. If they improve the service quality, it will indeed Not much money left.”
At this time, he could understand Yan Chengkun's thoughts. Business was all about making money.
However, the purpose of Sioux City’s acquisition of China Bus from beginning to end was not the bus’s small profit.
Among the industries in Xiangjiang, real estate is the most profitable. (End of this chapter)
