The Hong Kong government didn't know whether it was planning to send Buddha to the West, but on Monday morning, it approved multiple applications.
Among them are Far East Television applied by Far East Bank, New Territories Bus Company applied by Yongxin Investment Company, Xiangjiang Airlines jointly applied by Xinjian, East Asia, and Daoheng, New Territories Electric Power Company applied by Xinjian Investment, and Xiangjiang Gas applied by Xinjian Investment
Company, Kowloon Television, Wharf, Hopewell Holdings applied by Wing Lung Bank, and Kowloon Airways jointly applied by Wing Lung Bank.
This time it can be said that Brian has completely eliminated the monopoly protection that Hong Kong's British-owned enterprises had in certain industries. In the future, all industries will need competition.
The announcement of these news has dealt a serious blow to some listed companies, especially Kowloon Bus, China Gas, China Electric Power, Heung Kong Electric, and Cathay Pacific, which was listed last year.
In the past, the market value of these companies was quite high due to the monopoly of the industry. Now that so many forces have come in, their monopoly position is no longer there, and they will also face strong competition. Both institutions and retail investors are bearish on this.
Li Jianhui's project received more, but he did not allow Xinjian to invest alone. In Xiangjiang Airlines, in addition to Xinjian, Daoheng, and East Asia, there will also be Demaple Bank and Xingchuang Bank.
Xiangjiang Gas also has Yuntao Investment and Xinhui Holdings as co-investors. In addition to Xinjian, Yongan and Haojiang Holdings, Xiangjiang Gas has also roped in China Merchants Group.
Although the permit has been obtained, several major companies now have nothing, and it is impossible for Li Jianhui to set up one himself.
After some thought, he simply left the matter of the airline to Wei Li, the matter of Xiangjiang Electric to Huang Guangxing, and the matter of Xiangjiang Gas to Clay Johnson.
Li Jianhui did not ask them to do real management, but only to complete the preliminary work of company formation and management building, and the subsequent work will naturally be handled by professionals.
These people have all managed comprehensive groups. Although they are not very professional in these major industries, there is still no problem in the preliminary work.
Although Wei Li was busy preparing for the listing of Lane Crawford and Watsons, he still took over the task.
For him, this matter only takes a little more energy. As long as he finds a suitable helmsman for Xiangjiang Airlines, he won't have to worry about the company anymore.
With Li Jianhui's full authorization, he directly targeted the Chinese senior executives of Cathay Pacific Airways. He knew very well that these talents were available, but Cathay Pacific was a British-owned enterprise, and the most important positions were firmly controlled by the Sivaiya family.
The ambitions of these Chinese elites are hard to come by.
Xiangjiang Airlines is a new company, and its boss is Li Jianhui, the head of the largest family in Xiangjiang. As long as they are given rights and good treatment, Wei Li believes that these people will be willing to work at Xiangjiang Airlines.
It's a pity that Wei's ideal was good, but his actions were still a little slow. After York Shihuai learned that the Bryan government wanted to approve other forces to establish an airline, he immediately re-signed a contract with Cathay Pacific's senior management, which contained many clauses.
Once these senior executives change jobs and work for other airlines within five years, Cathay Pacific will claim huge amounts of money.
Wei Li saw that it was not easy to poach high-level personnel, so he turned and focused his attention directly on the technical staff, especially the aircraft pilots and aircraft maintenance and support personnel.
These people won't sign that agreement. The salary is 10% higher than that of Cathay Pacific, and Li Jianhui's brand name really attracted a lot of people.
After receiving the report, Sivaia asked the chairman of the board of directors of Cathay Pacific not to approve those who applied to resign, and also asked him to issue an announcement that the salary of Cathay Pacific employees would be increased by 10% this month, in order to calm the minds of Cathay Pacific's lower-level employees.
Then I found Wei Li's phone number and called him from his work phone.
After confirming that the person who answered the phone was Wei Li, Shi Huaiya said angrily: "Wei Li, you and I have been old friends for so many years. What you did is too much. You immediately remove your people from the Cathay Pacific Airways base."
And evacuate outside the dormitory, otherwise I won’t be polite.”
"Shi Huaiya, calm down. From what you said, it seems as if I have done something sorry for you.
My people have not entered the Cathay Pacific base, and they have not entered the Cathay Pacific employee community. We are just recruiting employees from all walks of life in Hong Kong, does this also need to be under your jurisdiction?"
After all these years, Shihuai Ya only now discovered that Weili was so shameless. He held banners at Cathay Pacific bases and Cathay Pacific communities. No matter they were flight attendants, pilots, aircraft maintainers, or ground support personnel, Xiangjiang Airlines would not refuse anyone who came.
, all wages are 10% higher than Cathay Pacific.
This is a typical attempt to poach Cathay Pacific. If he ignores this, Cathay Pacific will be paralyzed in a few days.
He warned on the phone: "Weili, I am definitely not kidding. If you really play like this, then don't blame me for not following the rules. If anything goes wrong, you will be responsible for it yourself."
"Shi Huaiya, don't be angry, we are all businessmen, why should we do things that destroy our image?
Since you are dissatisfied with my company recruiting people there, just say it and I will withdraw the employees here. Xiangjiang is such a big place and there is always a place to recruit, so why hurt the friendship between the two of us."
Shi Huaiya didn't think there was any friendship between the two. In his opinion, Wei Li had completely become a weapon under Li Jianhui. Wei Li would not show mercy at all against Si and the others.
Look at this time, the moves are extremely ruthless and shameless. This is the first time in his hundreds of years in Xiangjiang that he has encountered such a competitor recruiting at his door.
This had a huge impact on the morale of Cathay Pacific, and because its treatment was higher than that of Cathay Pacific, it also caused confusion within Cathay Pacific.
After hanging up the phone, Weili directly left Taikoo Company, got into his car, and headed towards the Cathay Pacific employee dormitory community.
There were Cathay Pacific senior management at the base, so she wasn't too worried. The Cathay Pacific community was mainly staffed by off-duty personnel, and there was no senior management to preside over the situation.
He needs to stabilize these people as much as possible in case these join but Xiangjiang Airlines goes.
In Li Jianhui's office, after listening to Wei Li's report, Li Jianhui said with a smile: "Don't try to stir up Shi Huaiya's nerves for the time being. Our airline personnel mainly recruit from Baodao, England, Southeast Asia and other places."
Li Jianhui was originally planning to recruit from the mainland, but it was a bit inappropriate at this time. After thinking about it, he decided to forget it. In a few years, he would recruit on a large scale from the mainland.
“Employees are easy to handle and as long as the treatment is good, we can attract a large number of people to join our airline.
It’s just that our most important thing now is to solve the aircraft problem. I wonder what Li Sheng’s plan is for this?”
When establishing an airline, Li Jianhui was not just playing short-term, so he naturally bought as many new aircraft as possible.
At present, the most advanced ones are mainly Boeing 747 and Airbus A300. Li Jianhui asked Wei Li to weigh which one to buy.
