Chapter 358 Managers

After recruiting Lin Jiadong, a barrister, Chang Wei asked him to hurry up and build a lawyer team during the period before he officially took over Hutchison Whampoa.

Then Chang Wei found a headhunting agency again.

He needs a manager.

Of course, Chang Wei himself would not spend his time on the trivial matters of managing Hutchison Whampoa.And Chang Wei, the original manager of Hutchison Whampoa, will definitely not stay.Even most of Hutchison Whampoa's current management team will be dismissed.

There is only one reason - the vast majority of Hutchison Whampoa's current management team are ghosts.

In this regard, whether objective or subjective, or factors of the times, all factors determine that the management of a Chinese-American company cannot be dominated by ghosts.

If it is a technician, such as a senior technician in Huangpu Dock, you can ignore this reason.But management never could.

Chang Wei has his own requirements for managers.

So when he proposed the headhunting conditions to the headhunting company, Chang Wei said: "You must have rich management experience, especially in large companies and groups, but you don't need to have too many ideas of your own. What I want is An implementer, not a leader."

Maybe it was luck, the headhunting company directly took out a document and handed it to Chang Wei: "Mr. Chang can take a look at this document."

Chang Wei opened it, swept his eyes, and nodded directly: "That's him. I want to see him right away."

The headhunting company smiled and immediately called the manager and asked him to meet at the coffee shop opposite the headhunting company.

Ten minutes later, Chang Wei met the manager brought by the headhunting company in the coffee shop.

Zhang Huan, a native of Hong Kong Island, aged 43, graduated from Princeton University with a master's degree in business administration.He used to be a senior manager of General Electric's European division and vice president of the Americas of Volkswagen Group.

Chang Wei's first impression of this person was that he was stable.

No matter the image, temperament or work experience, nothing is unstable. Became a senior manager at the age of 25, and resigned from Volkswagen in March this year. In 18 years, he only worked two jobs and changed jobs only once.

He is of medium build, well-dressed, gentle-looking, and unhurried in his steps.Chang Wei only took one look at him and decided that it was him.

Chang Wei decided to invite someone, and no one could refuse.

So in the next few words, Zhang Huan became the new manager and chief executive officer of Hutchison Whampoa.

The annual salary is 200 million, and every three years of work, you will receive 5.00% of the equity dividends, with a maximum of [-]%.

The envious eyes of the headhunters turned red.

That is the CEO of Hutchison Whampoa!Not to mention the annual salary of 200 million and the highest 5.00% equity dividend!
It is only 1977, and although Hong Kong Island is already prosperous, senior managers with an annual salary of more than one million are absolutely rare.

Then there is no need for people from the headhunting company to disturb.Chang Wei paid the agency fee, sent away the headhunters, and had a long talk with Zhang Huan.

"I have a detailed renovation plan for Hutchison Whampoa."

Chang Wei said: "First of all, the name Hutchison Whampoa must be thrown into the trash."

Zhang Huan heard the words and said, "Chang Sheng, Hutchison Whampoa is an established group with a high reputation. Changing the name means giving up the reputation."

"The name must be changed." Chang Wei said, "It's called Penglai."

"Penglai?" Zhang Huan thought about it, nodded and said, "The legendary fairy island is easy to say."

He only offered opinions, never objecting.Chang Wei can see through Zhang Huan's character at a glance.It is exactly the kind of character he needs with strong executive ability and lack of development, but with strong persistence.

"The name change is one thing, and then there is a big change in the management." Chang Wei said: "Hutchison Whampoa is an old-fashioned foreign firm, and there are many ghosts in it. If you want to completely control it, it is the best way to cut through the mess and make a change."

Zhang Huan deeply agreed with this, and secretly heaved a sigh of relief.

He will serve as the CEO of the new Penglai Group. To make a big splash, he must get rid of the old obstacles.Originally, he was thinking about making a request in this regard, but he didn't expect Chang Wei to speak out first. Then, following this wave of blood changes, he can establish his own management authority, and thus successfully embark on this new stage to display his ambitions.

"I entrusted HSBC with full rights to acquire Hutchison Whampoa. The time is half a month." Chang Wei said: "You don't have much time, you need to find out the bottom line of Hutchison Whampoa within half a month. , and start building your own management team.”

Zhang Huan was startled, and hesitated a little: "I will form the management team?"

Chang Wei said with a smile: "As a person, I don't need to be suspicious, and I don't have to be suspicious of employing people. In terms of group management, I will completely delegate power to you. But if you can't do well, I won't be sympathetic."

Say it in advance, don't say it is unexpected.

Of course Zhang Huan knew the reason behind it, he understood it very well, and he was also very happy.As a manager, what I am most afraid of is that the company has indiscriminate finger-pointing, which will make it difficult for managers to carry out their work and cause conflicts.

Now that he got Chang Wei's promise, his heart suddenly brightened.

"Then, does Chang Sheng have corresponding future plans for Penglai Group?" Zhang Huan asked: "As far as I know, Hutchison Whampoa's business is very complicated. Especially the Hutchison foreign company part, it is simply a mess."

Chang Wei said with a smile: "Of course there is a plan. The new Penglai Group will focus on the development of heavy industry manufacturing with Huangpu Dockyard as the core. The part belonging to Jardine Matheson will be integrated into one sales channel, and the redundant and messy business will be cut off across the board. , leaving nothing behind."

"Heavy industry." Zhang Huan said: "This is consistent with my previous work experience. I worked in General Electric and Volkswagen Group, and the business I was involved in was also heavy industry. But Chang Sheng, the conditions of heavy industry on Hong Kong Island are not good."

Chang Wei nodded: "The conditions on Hong Kong Island are indeed not very good. Apart from real estate here, there are only insignificant industries such as weaving and plastics, and the industrial foundation is shallow. However, Huangpu Dockyard has a background in heavy industry, so it is not impossible to develop. Shipping on Hong Kong Island Developed, all kinds of raw materials needed for heavy industry are not available on Hong Kong Island, so they can be imported from overseas.”

"Still shipbuilding as the main business?" Every question Zhang Huan asked was to know Chang Wei's attitude. As for the rebuttal, there was no one.

"No." Chang Wei said: "Ships, automobiles, industrial machinery, etc., and even weapons and equipment are all the parts that Penglai Group will dabble in."

Zhang Huan was stunned for a moment, and then thought about it: "Is the stall too big? And the Hong Kong government will never open the door to Penglai's weapons manufacturing."

Chang Wei laughed: "Any problem, I have it. Old Zhang, you only need to do what I tell you, and you don't have to worry about the rest."
