In Hong Kong, we build a global business empire

Taking the personnel information handed over by Ma Shimin, Lin Haoran read through it carefully.

Ma Shimin also started to handle the company's affairs.

As the largest real estate company in Hong Kong, and now the largest non-listed company in Hong Kong, the Swire Group has to deal with an extremely huge amount of work every day.

Although many small matters have been shared by his subordinates, some big things still need to be decided by Ma Shimin, the top leader.

So, Ma Shimin is very busy.

Lin Haoran was also flipping through the information in his hand page by page.

Although he knew most of the senior executives of the Hong Kong Land Group, he only knew their names and had no idea about their specific circumstances.

The former British-owned company, Hong Kong Land Development, does not have many senior Chinese executives.

When the group was still a listed company, there were more than a dozen directors and executive directors with shares, not including first-line management executives.

Now, the Swire Group has been privatized by Lin Haoran, and those former directors, executive directors, etc. have been dismissed and have no connection with the group anymore.

However, even so, the number of senior executives in the Swire Properties Group is still huge, including the general manager, deputy general manager, various directors and their deputies, totaling 48.

This does not include executives of its major subsidiaries such as Dairy Farm International, Mandarin Oriental Hotels Group, and Kwai Chung International Terminals.

As the scale of the Jardine Matheson Group is so large, it naturally requires a large number of management talents.

These dozens of executives are not many compared to the size of the group.

Lin Haoran briefly looked through the information and found that among these 48 people, 36 were foreigners and there were only 12 Chinese.

Six of them were already senior executives before Lin Haoran acquired the Hong Kong Land Group, and the other six were recruited later through a headhunting company.

He looked at the information of these 12 Chinese executives more carefully, but unfortunately, the reason why these Chinese executives were able to become executives of the Swire Group was mainly because they were very talented in a certain field, and most of them held the position of deputy director.

Important comprehensive management positions are basically occupied by foreigners.

Lin Haoran wanted to find a senior executive with strong comprehensive abilities to go to Japan to serve as his deputy, but the information in front of him made him feel a little embarrassed.

Except for the foreigner Ma Shimin, whom he personally invited, he was not familiar with other people, so it was difficult for him to establish full trust.

Although he can use the golden finger to see the loyalty of every senior executive, it does not represent everything. Lin Haoran does not know them well and can only be familiar with them through information. If he does not have enough talent to assist him in opening up the Japanese market, he will lose a lot of money in a minute.

Therefore, the importance of selecting this talent is too high.

Lin Haoran was faced with the choice of dozens of candidates, and for a moment he found it difficult to make a decision.

After watching for more than half an hour, the more Lin Haoran watched, the less he knew who to look for. He didn't even want to let these people come to him.

He closed the file and placed it on his desk, rubbing his brow with his hands.

"Boss, it seems that it is difficult for you to make a choice!" Ma Shimin also put down the work in his hands and looked up and said.

"Indeed, the Japanese market is much larger than Hong Kong. If I invest heavily, the scale of assets I control there will probably soon exceed that of the Hong Kong Land Group. But now it is difficult for you to leave Hong Kong for a long time.

Therefore, the person who is responsible for managing the branch must have excellent comprehensive abilities and also win my full trust! "Lin Haoran nodded in agreement.

“That’s why I don’t dare to recommend you casually. Although you are going to Japan to set up a branch of the Hong Kong Land Group and to develop new markets for the group, with your ambition and planning, this is not just as simple as setting up a branch. It can almost be said that you are recreating a Hong Kong Land Group in Japan.

For such an important task, the selection of candidates must be done with great care, and I cannot bear this responsibility." Ma Shimin added solemnly.

Today's Swire Group is Lin Haoran's private enterprise, not a listed company.

Therefore, although Ma Shimin is the head of the company, he sometimes has concerns.

"I understand!" Lin Haoran nodded and fell into deep thought.

Perhaps, it is not necessary to select candidates from the senior management of the Jardine Matheson Group!
This thought suddenly appeared in Lin Haoran's mind.

After a while, he handed the personnel information back to Ma Shimin and said, "Take the information back first. I will consider this matter carefully. I will tell you when I have made a decision. I'm going to go out first."

"Okay, boss!" Ma Shimin nodded and took the documents handed over by Lin Haoran.

After leaving Ma Shimin's office, Lin Haoran went down to the 39th floor.

This is the office of Galaxy Securities Company. Dai Shi and Allen are both here.

The office is busy, with many employees either handling work or making phone calls.

Compared with the previous Huanyu Investment Company, the current Galaxy Securities Company has obviously undergone earth-shaking changes.

Under Allen's guidance, he briefly inspected the various departments of Galaxy Securities Company, listened to some of his reports, and then took the elevator downstairs to the underground parking lot.

"Let's go to the headquarters building of Hong Kong Electric Group!" Lin Haoran said to Li Weidong after getting in the car.

"Good boss."

The car started and slowly drove away from Kangle Building.

Three ordinary cars followed behind. Twenty minutes later, four cars drove into the basement parking lot of the Hong Kong Electric Building.

After getting out of the car, the patrolling security guard in the underground garage respectfully helped him press the elevator button.

Soon, he arrived at Chen Shoulin's office.

"Hey, boss, you're here." Seeing Lin Haoran, Chen Shoulin stood up from his seat and walked out to greet him.

"Well, by the way, how is Jianning doing in the company now?" Lin Haoran asked.

That’s right, what he was considering was getting Huo Jianning to go to Japan with him.

However, he didn't know whether Huo Jian was willing to go or not.

After the negotiations with the British financial consortium ended, Lin Haoran mentioned to Huo Jianning that he should go to the Jardine Matheson Group.

However, at that time, Ho Kin Ning felt that he had not been in the Hong Kong Electric Group for less than a year and had been frequently transferred, which was not suitable for his career development, so he refused.

Everyone has their own plans and ideas. If the other party is unwilling, Lin Haoran will not force it.

After all, a forced melon is not sweet!

The last time he saw Henry Fok was when he asked him to be his negotiation assistant. At that time, they were negotiating with the British consortium. In the end, Lin Haoran not only successfully privatized the Hong Kong Land Group, but also took a big bite out of Jardine Matheson.

In that negotiation, Huo Jianning assisted him and it was very successful.

Several months have passed since then.

Although he would occasionally come to the Hong Kong Electric Group, he never asked about Fok Kin Ning's affairs.

“Boss, Mr. Huo is currently the deputy director of our group’s finance department. His contribution to the company is enough for him to be promoted. With his professional ability and performance, he is fully qualified for the position of financial director of Hong Kong Electric Group. However, I am inclined to promote him to assistant to the group president.

I remember that in December, the negotiations between the Hong Kong Electric Group and the Bangkok government on the construction of a hydroelectric power station project were all completed thanks to Mr. Fok's excellent work. He has made significant progress in his work and is very talented. It is indeed a bit of an injustice to his talents to be limited to a senior executive position in a certain department.

I believe that he should be allowed to participate more in the important management affairs of the HK Electric Group. This young man is both talented and capable, and I am considering training him as my successor.

Boss, it was a wise move for you to recommend him to Hong Kong Electric Group." Speaking of Fok Kin Ning, Chen Shoulin praised him highly.

Chen Shoulin, who is in his fifties and almost sixty years old, naturally knows that even if he continues to work in the Hong Kong Electric Group, he will not be able to do it for many years, as the future belongs to the young.

Huo Jianning likes her from the bottom of his heart, so he came up with this idea.

Lin Haoran was not surprised by Chen Shoulin's words.

After all, Huo Jianning himself is a top talent with great talent.

Otherwise, it wouldn't be worth it for him to come and invite her in person.

This year, Kenneth Fok is 30 years old. Although he is young in the business world, he must have accumulated a lot of experience during his time at the Hong Kong Electric Group.

As far as I can remember, in his previous life, Kening Ho became a director of Hutchison Whampoa when he was in his thirties.

Regardless of whether the world has changed because of Lin Haoran's time travel, management talents like Huo Jianning will not change much. Talent is something that is innate.

Einstein once said: Genius is 99% perspiration and 1% inspiration.

Huo Jianning is not only talented, but also very hardworking. If he doesn’t succeed, who will?

"Well, is he in the company now?" Lin Haoran asked with a smile.

"He should be there, right? I didn't notice it. Recently the Finance Department needs to go to each subsidiary to review the finances. They are quite busy now. Boss, how about I go to the Finance Department to take a look?" After Chen Shoulin finished speaking, he was about to get up and go out.

"No need, I'll go there by myself!" Lin Haoran shook his head and stopped Chen Shoulin.

After saying that, he got up and walked out.

The corridor was very quiet. This floor was the management office of the Hong Kong Electric Group, so there were fewer people.

Not long after, he arrived at the Finance Department office.

He immediately saw Huo Jianning holding a stack of documents in the office and chatting with another manager from the Finance Department.

Someone had already noticed Lin Haoran and greeted him, which immediately attracted the attention of everyone in the office.

Lin Haoran responded to them one by one with a smile, and at the same time said to Huo Jianning: "Jianning, come with me!"

"Boss, please wait a moment, I'll put the information away first." After saying this, Huo Jianning hurriedly returned to his post and put the information away.

Then, he followed Lin Haoran out the door, leaving everyone in the Finance Department with envious looks.

Everyone knows that Huo Jianning has a very good relationship with his boss and has a bright future.

It would be great if I could be treated like this!

This is what many people think, including the financial director. (End of this chapter)
