Hong Kong Island: From a small stall to a global supplier

Chapter 242 Business? No, it's trauma!

The conditions offered by this bespectacled guy in front of me are so good.

The company's general manager has an annual salary of 30 yuan and a car worth about 20 yuan. All expenses are borne by the company, and there is also an interest-free loan of 30 yuan for buying a house.

So good that he was scared!
What's more, they were members of a society. The screams of the two men were still ringing in his ears. Qiu Dechang, who was in his 30s and had worked in the workplace for more than a decade, understood that this was a naked show of force.

Agree, get the high salary.

If you don't agree, you might get your hands broken when you go out.

Four Eyes also felt that it was about time. He used one hand to tempt and the other to intimidate, and he didn't believe that this guy would not agree.

A document about Yaoxing Company was pushed over.

Qiu Dechang took a deep breath and looked through the pages, starting with all the music stores in Hong Kong and Macau, harassment and acquisitions, the arrest of the gang leader, kidnapping and threats to the three major companies, other big gangs intervening, big companies intervening, 5000 people showing off, more than 100 people killed or injured, renegotiation, and the introduction of investment from the three major companies...

One thing after another made Qiu Dechang feel dazed and his worldview collapsed.

Having worked in the middle level of Hutchison Whampoa for more than ten years, he imagined business wars of various kinds: betting on funds, acquisitions and restructuring, equity transfers, and maneuvering. He made good use of a series of tricks that directly hit the weaknesses of human nature, and used clever means that walked on the edge of the law to make his opponents lose in silence.

Business wars in reality: harassment, threats, kidnapping, fishing, thousands of people showing off their horses, mud trucks hitting each other’s backs…

“This, this, this…” Qiu Dechang’s face was in a state of collapse. He suddenly felt that his university life was a waste of time…

In such a business war, business is not as good as injury science!

"What's the problem?" asked the bespectacled boy with a smile.

“Is this how the platform is built?”

"Yes, we need to win the battle before we can start building the platform. What's the problem?" The bespectacled boy spread his hands. "Do you know what entrepreneurship is? If you can defeat your opponent, then this foundation will be yours!"

Qiu Dechang: What the hell is starting a business!

"Don't be fooled by what you read in books. The truth can be conveyed in one sentence, but lies can be conveyed in thousands of books." Siyanzi smiled and poured a cup of tea for Qiu Dechang. "You worked at Hutchison Whampoa before, so do you know why Hutchison Whampoa became one of the four major foreign companies?"

"why?"

"Because they are British, because the powerful ships and guns opened the door of the Qing government, and because Hong Kong became a British colony through the Treaty of Nanjing and the Treaty of Beijing, it was possible to build a platform for foreign companies. This is called 'building'. Because the garrisons on the island are all British, it has created the possibility for people from other countries to buy property, so there are four major British foreign companies." Four Eyes said in a deep voice: "What else do you think it is? Is it because they have a forward-looking vision? Are they strategizing?"

"Crazy line!"

Qiu Dechang felt that it was wrong, but he could not refute it, "What about cucumbers? How can he acquire Hutchison Whampoa?"

"Skin-changing, bribery, money laundering, and proxy stock holding." How could Four Eyes know these things? He had heard Wang Yaotang mention them before. Of course, it was just speculation, and it could also be slander. "Hutchison Whampoa has merged and changed major shareholders many times over the years. The equity itself is very chaotic. In the past ten years, there has been fierce infighting. The top management is not thinking about how to run the company better, but how to make money all day long!"

"The company has long been a shell. The top management is actively promoting the acquisition of the company, and the company has promised not to pursue the previous responsibilities after the acquisition. Of course, the python swallowed the dragon. Of course, the public was told that it was 'losing money due to over-expansion'. The four big foreign companies control the livelihood and public resources of Hong Kong. It's hard for them to lose money. You are in Hutchison Whampoa. Don't you know about the internal fighting?"

"I know." Qiu Dechang sighed. He was also a victim of the internal strife. His boss and his boss's boss were all fucking money-making. After the acquisition, they just walked away, leaving him badly.

"Okay, stop asking so many questions. The company has already 'built' the platform and 'killed' all competitors. Now we need a helmsman who can complete the integration and let Yaoxing Company set sail with a new look. I have chosen you. If there is no problem, resign today and start the job immediately."

The bespectacled boy smiled and said, "Just hold the steering wheel and drive, and leave the rest to Big Brother. Without external harassment, how can you not manage the company well!"

"I am very happy and willing, but..." Qiu Dechang secretly glanced at Siyanzi, "Why me?"

"Our eldest brother's selection criteria are relatively... simple and unpretentious." Four Eyes coughed lightly, "They must be over 35 years old, have sufficient work experience, have experienced ups and downs, have a family to support, have a lot of pressure in life, and have strong ability to withstand pressure."

Qiu Dechang listened, his expression gradually became strange...

God damn, 'life is stressful, and the ability to withstand pressure is strong', I suspect you are threatening me with your family?

Really club style!

In a big company like Hutchison Whampoa, if you don’t do well, the worst that can happen is you’ll be fired. But in your place, if you don’t do well, I’m afraid your whole family will be fired!

Qiu Dechang covered his chest and gasped. Sure enough, the pressure came up all of a sudden!
But if I say refuse, not to mention the possibility of retaliation, thinking about my situation in ParknShop, there is no way I can see a way out, so I don't want to go back.

"Okay, I'll do it!" Qiu Dechang put his hands on the table, and gave it his all. He made up his mind, stomped his feet, and bet his entire family's lives!

"It's just that it may not be possible to resign today. The company requires that you apply one month in advance and you have to give..."

"You're not going to apply for it, just ask those 100-odd bastards if they agree." The bespectacled guy cursed, "By the time you finish applying, the company will be fucking bankrupt!"

"Just write a resignation letter and submit it to the Human Resources Department."

"Ah? What if the HR department has to go through the process?"

"You're not going away. Your detailed personal information was sold to me by the HR manager." The bespectacled boy took out a piece of information and threw it on the table. Qiu Dechang picked it up and was stunned when he saw it.

Damn it, how can I run a good company with this bunch of bugs!
Seeing Qiu Dechang's expression change, Four Eyes laughed, "Don't worry, this kind of thing won't happen in our company. If he sells internal salary information, his whole family will be thrown into the sea to feed the sharks!"

Qiu Dechang: What’s going on? I’m suddenly even more scared.

"My direct supervisor, the company's vice president of sales, might stop me because there is a lot of work that needs to be handed over."

"Ah Ming, come in." "Brother Xiang."

"From now on, you will follow Mr. Qiu Dechang and be his driver. Take your stuff and go with Mr. Qiu to have a chat with their damn vice president."

Qiu Dechang blinked, wanting to ask if the guy you were talking about was the kind of guy I was thinking of...

curious!

I changed into new clothes and walked out of the sauna. Suddenly, I felt that the weather had become much brighter. I took a deep breath and the exhaust fumes from the cars on the street were filled with a sweet smell.

Cool!
"Qiu Sheng, are we going there now?" A Ming asked in a low voice.

I, Qiu Dechang, also have a driver and bodyguards!
Cool!
"Walk."

Amin walked to a car on the side of the road and helped open the door. Qiu Dechang's heartbeat suddenly quickened, and he took two quick steps to look at the front of the car carefully.

The new Mercedes-Benz 380SEL gasoline special edition is a long-wheelbase version of the luxury S-class sedan, equipped with a 3.8-liter V8 engine, standard airbags, electric seats, air conditioning, cruise control, etc. The suggested retail price is 5 pounds, and the actual price is 18 Hong Kong dollars.

The general manager of ParknShop drives a silver car. I have secretly seen it countless times, but I never thought that the day would come when I would actually sit in one!
Cool!
I feel like my life has reached its peak!
"Going back to ParknShop?" Amin turned his head and asked while sitting in the driver's seat.

"What do you mean by going back to ParknShop? You're going to ParknShop, which is someone else's company!" Qiu Dechang emphasized.

ParknShop has nothing to do with me, and please don’t contact me in the future. I’m afraid Mr. Guan will misunderstand!

Amin tilted his head, almost unable to control himself...

Not far away, they parked the car at the company and got off. A Ming followed behind him. Qiu Dechang felt that his legs were stronger when he walked, his back was straight, he felt high-spirited and excited, and his whole body was full of energy!

It would have been better if there wasn’t a small bald spot on his head!

"Manager Qiu is back."

When he arrived at the company's floor, he ran into a colleague not far from the elevator. Qiu Dechang just smiled and nodded lightly.

After my colleague walked away, he looked back. Why did it feel like he suddenly became a different person?

It’s different, it feels completely different!

Before, when I walked in the company, I felt depressed and couldn’t breathe.

Now I am looking down from a high place, feeling relaxed and comfortable!
He strode to the Human Resources Department, knocked on the door, and went straight to the Human Resources Manager, "Manager Sun, I'm here to resign."

"Come in." Manager Sun said with a smile.

Qiu Dechang had hurriedly written a resignation report while in the car, and now he handed it over directly, "This is my resignation report."

Manager Sun didn't even look at it. "Well, I know. If anyone else wants to, please submit it together."

"Ah?" Qiu Dechang was stunned. What does that mean?
"What? You're going to Yaoxing alone? How can you carry out your work without your own team? They won't wait for you to recruit people." Manager Sun smiled and took out a stack of employee information and pushed it over. "The information of the HR department, sales department, and publicity department is all here."

Four Eyes told him clearly that he would give him 3 if he dug up Qiu Dechang, and for each of the others he took away.

"Ah!" Qiu Dechang blinked. No, wait, not only did you sell our information, you also want to sell more?

"Do you want something else? That's impossible. They will poach people from other companies. If they poach people from ParknShop, who will own the company then?" Manager Sun kindly explained.

“Don’t bring too many people at once. Just have a skeleton. If you recruit new people later, it will be difficult to assign work to them because they are too familiar with each other.” This highlights the thoughtfulness of an HR!
Qiu Dechang laughed out loud, cursing Manager Sun for being shameless in his heart, but he still sat down and picked up the document to look at it.

What did Director Guan say just now?

Over 35 years old, with sufficient work experience, having experienced ups and downs, having a family to support, having high pressure in life, and strong ability to withstand stress.

I first looked through the information of the sales department and quickly narrowed down to 4 people. All of them have strong working abilities, but due to family and personal reasons, they have no chance of promotion. They are super-skilled people who will not fall behind if they work overtime!

The Propaganda Department, the department with which they cooperated the most, picked out two people whom they always cursed behind their backs.

There are many ideas and things to do, but the publicity effect is really good.

Sitting in the position of general manager, my perspective on things has indeed changed, and I have eventually become the person I hate.

As for the Human Resources Department, he knew nothing about it.

Seeing this, Manager Sun recommended two people, "young people with great ideas and abilities."

Young? Qiu Dechang frowned slightly, picked up the information and looked at it. His family background was average, he had just been married for two years, had a child, and was considered to be a family with a large family, so his life was stressful...

Considering that I might have to deal with an experienced HR like Manager Sun in the future, I chose two people.

"Once we've agreed, just submit your resignation letter. I'll process it as quickly as possible and will give you everything you need." Manager Sun said with a smile.

"Okay." Qiu Dechang stood up with a smile.
