Zeng Qingfeng and other leaders looked at Zhou Jimin speechlessly.
It seems that the latter really doesn’t know about aircraft.
What a disappointment.
This matter will be settled.
Zhou Jimin left Oasis New City again, but this time he came to the southern island for vacation.
This time is a real vacation, nothing else to do at all.
Anyway, the aerospace industry in Xincheng needs to be repaired for the time being. The plan has been made and will start in the middle of next year.
Zhou Jimin looked at the villa on the top of the mountain through his balcony. The building was already much higher than the villa.
It's already October, and the cap is set at the end of the year. Why is it so slow?
It is not easy to build the tallest building in the world.
In the music room, Zhou Qingyue is still practicing her songs. Whenever he has time, Zhou Jimin will go to listen and give guidance.
Since he was on vacation, Zhou Jimin naturally wanted to relax as much as he wanted.
There are many children at home, and they are very noisy.
However, for Zhou Jimin, taking care of children is also one of the ways to relax.
A week later, on the beach, Zhou Jimin took off his sunglasses and said to himself that it was time for him to return to his normal life.
If you continue to fall like this, your belly will come out.
During the recent period, he paid no attention to anything and just hid on the southern island.
Except for taking care of the children, which Qin Jingru and the others consider to be business, nothing else is.
For example, right now, Zhou Bingxu and the others are playing volleyball on the beach, while Zhou Jimin himself is lying down and sleeping.
I feel completely relaxed.
After calming down, Zhou Jimin got into work mode.
First, let’s deal with the mountain of work on the advisory board’s side.
"Ji Zhengxiong, let me talk about the most urgent and important things at work recently. I will deal with these first..."
The most luxurious location on Hong Kong Island, Prince's Building.
In the spacious and bright office, Zhou Jimin sat on the boss's chair and gave instructions to Ji Zhengxiong, the head of the advisory group.
The advisory group on the southern island now has more than 200 members, and it has expanded rapidly in the past year or so.
It has become the scale it is today.
Even the employee care group headed by Yang Siqi, a graduate of the University of Hong Kong, has as many as ten members.
"Yes, boss!"
Ji Zhengxiong said respectfully.
The most urgent thing is actually none.
Generally speaking, Zhou Jimin is not responsible for specific affairs, it is all done by Ji Zhengxiong and others.
Zhou Jimin is only responsible for the development planning of the company. Even the financial aspect is handled by the bank.
The bank is not within the advisory group's management system, but is an independent system that is only responsible to Zhou Jimin.
After listening to Ji Zhengxiong's report on investment projects, Zhou Jimin briefly browsed through it and felt that there were really no familiar investment projects.
As far as the game sector is concerned, Zhou Jimin himself is a pioneer. Games such as Alien Invasion and Snake were all developed under his personal guidance and by the game department.
Moreover, the chip section was completed by Wu Zhiheng and others from Liuer Town.
It can be said that the game companies on the southern island are just tools for implementation.
Therefore, other game companies that were established following this trend are plagiarists!
Basically, it cannot escape the shadow and framework of many games such as Alien Invasion, and there is no innovation at all.
In this case, what are the good investments in these projects?
"These projects should all be killed. It's a waste of my time."
After reading through it, Zhou Jimin said coldly:
"The projects delivered to your door are of little value. These projects are all here to defraud money..."
"Good projects require you to go out and find them. Do you understand clearly?"
Ji Zhengxiong adjusted his position and responded.
The boss got angry and expressed that he was very dissatisfied with their work.
But there is still hope, so listen carefully and work hard next time.
"Be bold, don't always be timid..."
After complaining for a while, at this time, someone in the crowd suddenly raised his hand and said:
"Boss, I recently found a very good project, but it may involve a lot of funds..."
As soon as the man opened his mouth, Ji Zhengxiong winked.
It's a pity that the man didn't seem to see it and kept talking.
Zhou Jimin became interested and said:
"Ji Zhengxiong, is there something wrong with your eyes?"
Ji Zhengxiong's face suddenly stiffened and he quickly explained that something had just entered his eyes.
Then he said:
"Boss, actually the project Ma Shimin mentioned is very bad. He wants to swallow up Wharf..."
As soon as the word "Wharf" came out, the smile on Zhou Jimin's face became even bigger.
The other members of the advisory group have already fallen silent.
Because the Wharf Group is a subsidiary group of the British-owned Jardine Matheson Group, and Hong Kong Island in 1969 was still dominated by British-owned groups.
Among the Chinese companies, several major group companies such as PHS Mobile Phone Group, Qihang Group, and Xinghai Trading Group controlled by Zhou Jimin have some momentum, but others are not.
"Ji Zhengxiong, please stop talking."
After interrupting Ji Zhengxiong's words, Zhou Jimin looked at Ma Shimin and said:
"Ma Shimin, right? Continue, I'm very interested in your project."
Zhou Jimin may not be interested in other projects, but he is still very interested in the famous Wharf.
In fact, he had no interest before, mainly because the environment at the time did not allow it.
Now, relatively speaking, things are much better.
In addition, satellite communication system technology has now matured, and Zhou Jimin can be contacted at any time if there is any emergency.
Finally, personal computers and mobile phones are about to be launched, and a new era is coming.
Taking into account various factors, the time is ripe to acquire Wharf.
"Yes, boss!"
Ma Shimin was very excited and said that he must seize this opportunity today!
"Boss, I used to work at Jardine Group..."
Hiss!
Hearing these words, Zhou Jimin took a deep breath.
Then he looked at Ma Shimin with a strange expression, this guy is really not a good person.
After leaving his last company, he encouraged Zhou Jimin to acquire the subsidiaries of his old employer?
Isn’t this just a proper 25-year-old boy!
Sure enough, a person cannot stand firmly if he is not ruthless!
Ma Shimin is a ruthless man. In 1960, when he was 20 years old, he joined the Romanian Foreign Legion in Marseille, Romania. After serving for five years, he joined Jardine Matheson in Hong Kong.
But this year, for unknown reasons, Ma Shimin, who originally continued to work at Jardine Matheson, was recruited to join Zhou Jimin's advisory group.
After joining the advisory group, Ma Shimin gradually showed his talent, but he was too courageous and was suppressed by Ji Zhengxiong.
As a mercenary, Ma Shimin has always been a very adventurous person.
In the original time and space, he once went on a marathon hiking adventure in the Sahara Desert in Morocco. At the age of 60, he completed 254 kilometers in 7 days, which is equivalent to the distance of 6 normal marathons.
Moreover, he and the famous British polar explorer Penhardo set out from the Great Bay on the coast of Antarctica and walked 1,095 kilometers in 58 days without supplies to reach the Antarctic at an altitude of 2,835 meters.
At the age of 63, he became the oldest person to complete this route.
Such a person, at the age of twenty-nine, proposed to Zhou Jimin to acquire the Wharf Group, which was the one thing he wanted to do most after joining the advisory group.
"Boss, after investigation, we found that the largest controlling family behind the Jardine Matheson Group is the Yosek family, and their family's shareholding in Jardine Matheson is actually only 5%..."
"And Jardine Matheson only holds 5% of the shares in Wharf Group. If we want to complete the acquisition of Wharf Group, we only need to complete the following two steps..."
When everyone heard Ma Shimin's plan, even Ji Zhengxiong was shocked.
Why haven’t I heard Ma Shimin mention the two-step acquisition plan before?
Maybe Ma Shimin is waiting for an opportunity like today?
Zhou Jimin was also surprised. Although he didn't know much about Ma Shimin, this young man's ideas were really brave and progressive.
In fact, it is a bit too much to say that Ma Shimin is a young man. After all, he was born in 1943, so he is three years younger than Ma Shimin, who was born in 1940.
But, who is the boss?
The Wharf Group is a large listed company, with more than 60% of the shares circulating in the stock market alone. The remaining 40% is mostly controlled by British investors such as the Joseph family and the Kadoorie family.
In the hands of the white group.
As well as Wharf's senior management team, they also have some, but very small, shares in their hands.
Therefore, it is actually very simple to acquire the Wharf Group.
To start the first-hand plan, naturally it is to conduct a manipulative acquisition through the stock market, which takes a little longer.
But it is also a necessary process.
After all, Wharf Group's shares are too dispersed, profitable, and easily spotted by big capital.
The reason why no one has noticed this until now is very simple: poor information.
People who are sensitive to information may have noticed this, but no one dares to take advantage of it.
The money involved is too huge. How many people dare to think about this in Hong Kong Island, where the per capita salary is only a few hundred yuan and less than a thousand yuan?
Even those senior management teams don’t have money, otherwise they would have taken action long ago.
Therefore, Jardine Matheson only needs 5% of the shares to control the Wharf Group.
According to the rules of listed companies, individuals or companies that hold more than 5% of the shares of a listed company must hold a public sign.
And the individuals who can acquire 5% of the shares of Wharf Group are not unknown people on the island.
Besides, how many people can handle tens of millions in cash?
The second step is to contact those small shareholders, but it must be investigated clearly which ones are financial investments and which ones are supporters of British capital. These must be investigated clearly in advance.
If the news leaks out before the acquisition is completed, the follow-up will be very troublesome.
To compete with British-owned foreign companies, you must be prepared for all battles.
The two-step plan may seem simple, but in reality, the details are very critical.
A single oversight may result in losses of hundreds or tens of millions.
And the most important thing is that this acquisition plan will cost at least two to three hundred million Hong Kong dollars.
This is not a small amount of money, but a huge amount of money.
After hearing Ma Shimin's plan, Zhou Jimin clapped his hands, nodded and smiled:
"This plan is very good. Then I will leave it to you to implement it. How many people are needed and how much money is needed? You can just ask him. I only need to see one result, complete control of the Wharf Group. Do you understand?" Hiss!
Ji Zhengxiong, Yang Siqi, Ma Shimin and others were all shocked by Zhou Jimin's words.
Actually let Ma Shimin be fully responsible for an acquisition plan?
And the target of this acquisition is the Wharf Group, a subsidiary of Jardine Matheson & Co., which is known as the largest foreign bank on the entire island?
Damn it, this is a big company, can Ma Shimin take on such a heavy responsibility?
"Boss, this..."
In an instant, Ji Zhengxiong immediately spoke, wanting Zhou Jimin to take back his life.
The latter directly stretched out his hand and said, "You don't need to say anything. I know you feel very uncomfortable and may want me to take back the order."
"But talents like Ma Shimin are the investment management talents I want."
"If you are not doing well, give up your position as soon as possible, and I will arrange other more comfortable positions for you."
Ga!
Now, Ji Zhengxiong did not dare to say anything anymore, and even expressed his loyalty quickly.
The boss is very energetic right now, so he probably needs some rest.
It is fully intervening in the investment operations of the advisory group. It seems that it can no longer fish like before.
Otherwise, if there is one Ma Shimin, there will definitely be a second, third, or even many such people.
He, Ji Zhengxiong, is the head of the advisory group, not the others.
Ma Shimin also quickly expressed his position, saying that he would definitely complete this acquisition task.
"Okay, I believe in you. Just follow your plan. I believe you can succeed. If you have any questions, please contact me at any time."
Zhou Jimin nodded appreciatively, then said seriously:
"I gave you the opportunity, but no one knows whether you can grasp it or not."
"After completing the acquisition, I will give you a reward. How generous the reward will be depends on your own efforts."
"At the same time, if the acquisition fails, there will be corresponding punishments. I don't want you to get the punishment. Do you understand clearly?"
The carrot and the stick were picked up at the same time. If Ma Shimin, a donkey, didn't want the stick to hit him, he could only fight with all his life.
Just like Ma Shimin worked hard for this opportunity today.
Even if he was punished by his immediate boss, Ji Zhengxiong, Ma Shimin had to finish his plan.
Because the opportunity cannot be missed and it will never come again.
And a thousand-mile horse often exists but a bole does not always exist.
The Zhou Jimin in front of him is Ma Shimin's Bole. He has only one way to go to the dark, break through the darkness and welcome the dawn.
Other than that, there is no choice.
Looking at Ma Shimin who seemed to have been given blood, Zhou Jimin nodded with satisfaction.
Then he continued to ask suddenly:
"By the way, who of you knows the milk company?"
There is a milk company on Hong Kong Island. In fact, in the early days, British-owned groups raised cows in enclosed areas such as Pok Fu Lam and Causeway Bay, squeezed fresh milk, and then sold it to the public.
Zhou Jimin has seen several of the neighbors of the villa on the top of the mountain several times. They have fresh milk delivered by milkmen every day.
However, not many people in the advisory group know about the milk company.
