After Cao Guangbiao took over Cathay Pacific, he was not welcomed by the top management. When he hosted the first meeting of Cathay Pacific's middle and senior management, less than half of the people who came to attend the meeting, and the top management only included the financial director and the director of human resources.
Attend.
The company's general manager, three deputy general managers, and managers of some important departments were not present. Cao Guangbiao's face was very ugly. Are Cathay Pacific's senior executives dissatisfied with him and others taking over the airline?
When Cao Guangbiao was secretly angry, Cathay Pacific General Manager Roger Jim arrived belatedly.
Cao Guangbiao suppressed his dissatisfaction and said to Roger Jim: "Mr. Jim, didn't I ask you to notify the company's middle and senior management to attend this meeting? Why does the company only have such a small number of people now?"
Roger Jim said nonchalantly: "Mr. Cao, I informed you, and aren't they all here now?"
Cao Guangbiao almost fainted from anger. It's not like he didn't know the situation of Cathay Pacific. How could it be possible that these people were the only ones?
He just acquired Cathay Pacific Airways yesterday and agreed with Swire Pacific to hand it over today, which has led to the current situation. He very much suspected that Swire Pacific played an important role in it.
Cao Guangbiao said: "So what about those people who were still working in the company a few days ago? Where is Deputy General Manager Zhao Wenhua? And where is Deputy General Manager Wang Junchang?"
Cao Guangbiao was very angry. These talents were the ones he planned to let manage Cathay Pacific. Now that these people are gone, how can Cathay Pacific still operate?
Roger Jim felt very happy when he saw Cao Guangbiao, who was a little angry. He was originally serving as the general manager of Cathay Pacific Airways, but Cao Guangbiao did not intervene and fully acquired Cathay Pacific Airways, causing him to completely lose this position.
I could only take a casual position at Taikoo Co., Ltd., and I was very unhappy.
So this time he played a big trick with Lei Jianbin, director of Swire Pacific. When Cao Guangbiao held a press conference, he signed the resignation reports of all Cathay Pacific employees who wanted to resign.
This time, the only fault is that Cao Guangbiao and the others were too careless. Of course, even if they knew it in advance, there was nothing they could do. Lei Jianbin did not wait for Li Guangyu's notification before taking action. He decided to sell the shares of Cathay Pacific Airways to Cao Guangbiao and others at Swire Holdings.
At that time, we started to take action.
And Roger Jim was very cooperative. The deadline for those who resigned to work at Cathay Pacific was yesterday. This was also discussed by Lei Jianbin, Wooden Shihuai and others, in order to avoid affecting the sale of Cathay Pacific.
Roger Jim said: "Mr. Cao, Zhao Wenhua, Wang Junchang, the two deputy general managers and some of the company's department executives resigned yesterday. At the same time, many pilots and flight attendants of our company also resigned yesterday. Today's flight
I will try my best to ensure the operation, but I am afraid there may be some problems in the process, so please deal with them as soon as possible."
Cao Guangbiao looked at Roger Jim who was gloating about his misfortune, and he was already furious. He had just taken over Cathay Pacific, and something like this happened. If the flight was canceled due to this, it would definitely be a huge blow to them.
Cao Guangbiao asked: "Jim, we acquired Cathay Pacific Airways yesterday. Why did they not report to us about such a big matter and allow them to resign?"
Roger Jim was not angry at Cao Guangbiao's questioning, but said calmly: "Mr. Cao, don't get excited. You can't blame me for this. These people handed in their resignation reports half a month ago, and we also
We can't stop it by force. In order to maintain the operation of our company, we can only ask them to meet the deadline yesterday, so that our company can easily recruit people. It's just that after these things happened, the company was unable to recruit people to replace them."
Cao Guangbiao would not believe Roger Jim's words. The timing was a coincidence. He had just completed the acquisition, and it was time for these resigned personnel to leave. He believed that if he signed the contract today, those resigned personnel would definitely work until today.
Moreover, I still can't find out their problems. If I look at the resignation reports and the approval time, they must have ended yesterday. Such things are too fake. Besides, they really want to leave, and I can't keep them.
people.
Cao Guangbiao said: "Mr. Jim, I don't care about the problems of these people who resigned. I hope that the company can ensure that all our flights take off today. I wonder if it can be achieved?"
Roger Jim said: "Mr. Cao, the morning flight is easy to handle, but the afternoon flights will be troublesome. I have asked some afternoon personnel to be transferred to the morning. For some afternoon flights, I have no one to send."
Yes, even the staff who should be off duty have been transferred to the morning to deal with it. I'm afraid you will need to deal with this problem."
None of the people who attended this meeting had any plans to leave Cathay Pacific, but they hoped to fill their seats after the senior management left.
They are very clear about the reasons why the company is in this situation. Originally, this was originally aimed at Swire. Later, after the Li Group and Swire Group reached an agreement, the two teamed up to defraud the company that took over.
Xiangjiang Airlines needs talents, and Swire Pacific needs to sell it at a good price, so Swire Airlines needs to maintain the stability of Cathay Pacific until Cathay Pacific takes action. Xiangjiang Airlines also hopes that these talents will continue to train with Cathay Pacific until their flights come back.
until.
Why doesn't Cao Guangbiao know the whereabouts of these resigned personnel? He just doesn't want to ask. What can he do if he knows? The Xiangjiang market is so big, and it is obviously impossible for the two airlines to grow at the same time. If he is strong enough, he will
To suppress Xiangjiang Airlines, he just didn't expect that Xiangjiang Airlines would be so ruthless this time, and it obviously didn't take a day or two to prepare.
He can be sure that since Li Guangyu had the idea of building his own airline, he has been following the ideas of these people. It's just that the target at that time was the British consortium. If he takes over Cathay Pacific, he will naturally take over the money buried by the Li consortium.
pit.
Cao Guangbiao didn't want to say anything more to Roger Jim. He also knew that Roger Jim was just here to complete the final handover.
Cao Guangbiao said to the arriving managers: "Now our company is facing severe challenges. The first is to maintain the normal takeoff of our flights. Please work harder in this regard. I believe that our Cathay Pacific Airways will not be affected by this."
It’s a bit difficult to defeat.”
Subsequently, Cao Guangbiao re-appointed senior executives of various departments of the company and hoped that they would lead the departments to complete the tasks assigned by the company.
Those who were promoted were very happy. Didn't they stay just for a higher position? Now they finally got their wish.
But then they were in trouble. Cao Guangbiao asked them to ensure that all Cathay Pacific flights take off on time, which was simply impossible. Xiangjiang Airlines was particularly ruthless this time, and they poached six complete crew members.
There are also some crew pilots and some flight attendants, and Cathay Pacific's losses in this regard are nearly half.
