Chapter 507 Officially sniping Zhonghua Bus!
Chapter 507 Officially sniping the Chinese bus!
February 16, 1980.
The first day of the first lunar month.
The mansion at No. 64 Kennedy Road, Wan Chai, Hong Kong.
Yan's mansion.
This is where the majority shareholder and owner of Xiangjiang-China Bus, Yan Chengkun and his family, live.
Yan Chengkun was born in 1924. He is just 56 years old this year, so he is not very old.
He is able to monopolize the bus market on Hong Kong Island through Zhongba. Of course, his ability is not simple, and his relationships are not simple either.
He is also one of the Chinese promoted by the Governor's Office. As early as January 1946, Yan Chengkun was appointed by the Governor's Office as the first Chinese Municipal Council member. In the 1950s, he was the first member of the Executive Council and the Legislative Council of the Governor's Office.
A Chinese who was very powerful for a while. Because he was the most powerful Chinese in Hong Kong, he was always not polite to the Chinese staff appointed by the Governor-General.
When Bowen first became the Secretary for Transport in the Governor's Office (equivalent to today's Secretary for Transport and Housing), he and Director of Transport Hui Shih-yan paid a visit to Yan Chengkun. After waiting for an hour, they were refused an interview. This affected Zhongba, the Gan family and
Relations with the officials of the Government House transportation system.
It’s not that I haven’t seen it before.
Compared with Li Jiacheng who swallowed up Hutchison Whampoa in history, it is even worse.
While Yan Chengkun and his daughter were talking there, Yan Jie, the second son of the Yan family, came over and said, "Father, eldest sister, Mr. Wei Li is here."
Everyone went inside.
A big shot came to visit him, which made him uneasy.
It is normal for Weili to call each other Mr.
As the CEO of Hutchison Whampoa, Wei Li is such a busy person. How could he suddenly visit him?
Yan Chengkun has been awarded many honors by the Queen. In addition to being awarded the OBE and CBE in 1955 and 1961 respectively, he was also awarded the Queen's Coronation Medal and the Queen's Silver Jubilee Medal in 1953 and 1977.
However, the Imperial Group now owns 31% of the shares and is already the second largest shareholder, not much different from the Yan and Huang families.
Yan Chengkun, his daughter, and two sons came out to greet him.
However, both parties are really unfamiliar with each other.
"Mr. Wei Li, CEO of Hutchison Whampoa, wants to visit me, but I am not familiar with him."
However, when it comes to China Bus, many people know Yan Chengkun.
Weili is a professional manager, but his identity is indeed not simple.
Are people who can do such a thing an ordinary person?
"company?"
After discussing with Melis last night, he planned to meet with Yan Chengkun, the major shareholder of China Bus.
In fact, compared with other Chinese-owned enterprises in Xiangjiang, the status of the Yan family has already fallen far behind.
"Mr. Wei Li, welcome to the Yan family."
Yan Chengkun knows this better.
Wei Li was very famous in the early 1970s.
Today, he, his eldest daughter Yan Jie Ling, his second son Yan Jieh, and his youngest son Yan Henry are all celebrating the New Year at home, enjoying themselves happily.
A villa in the middle of Taipingshan.
After arriving inside, Weili looked at the surrounding environment and found that it was really good. This place was near Kennedy Road in Wan Chai. Weili had been here many times, but he had never been to Yan's house.
What he was afraid of was Sir Yang behind Wei Li.
If not for history, it would not have been almost swallowed up by Bailibao Company, a subsidiary of the Great Eagle Group owned by Law and Sons.
"Father, are you talking about the China Bus?"
This morning, Yan Chengkun suddenly received a visit note from Wei Li, CEO of Hutchison Whampoa, a subsidiary of Empire Group.
Of course he is not afraid of Weili.
It's now the early eighties.
Last night, Weili received a gift from his boss.
"Let's first see why Mr. Weili came to visit."
Yan Chengkun felt a little uneasy.
It is normal if you go to visit the big shots in Xiangjiang by yourself.
When the Yan family greeted Wei Li warmly.
Yan Chengkun has been in business for so many years and has never experienced any ups and downs. Faced with powerful capital, sometimes he really has no power to fight back.
Seeing her father's uneasy look, the eldest daughter Yan Jieling came over and asked.
Yan Chengkun thought it was something, but when he suddenly heard that China Bus was going to be acquired, he felt himself trembling.
Yan Chengkun and Li Jiacheng were both from Chaocheng and were very good at doing business. However, the industries involved in the Yan family were much inferior to those in Li Jiacheng.
However, as long as it goes public, there is a possibility of losing controlling rights.
At this time, outside the door.
Wei Li said: "Mr. Yan, I am here to talk to you about the acquisition of China Bus."
Before Wei Li came, he seemed to have already guessed the same thing.
Of course Yan Chengkun knew it.
Weili, who was wearing a suit, arrived in a Bentley.
"Father, are you afraid of Mr. Weili?"
"He is a white man. I am afraid of what he will do. I am worried about the company's affairs."
Later, he became the CEO of Hutchison Whampoa, Taipan. He is still the CEO of Hutchison Whampoa to this day, and is rumored to be the fourth person in the Empire Group.
"Father, what's wrong with you?"
Capital is the most ruthless.
Now Wei Li actually wants to visit him?
Yan Chengkun and his brother-in-law, his wife's eldest brother Huang Wangcai, hold more than 35% of the shares together and are still the largest shareholders of China Bus.
Later, most of the assets were sold to retain the controlling stake of China Bus.
At the beginning, Overseas United Motors from country Y wanted to take a stake in China Bus. He knew the terror of capital companies like Overseas United Motors. If Overseas United Motors was allowed to take a stake, China Bus would have lost the Yan family.
However, he is not a knight because he has not been awarded a knighthood and has not been promoted to KBE or GBE.
bother you for something.
Some time ago, Sir Yang suddenly announced the cancellation of the public stall area. Yan Chengkun was very shocked when he saw this.
He knew how generous his boss was, but he didn't expect it to be so generous. After returning home last night, his wife was also excited all night long.
Judging from the past two years, the Imperial Group has successively swallowed up Wharf, Hutchison Whampoa, Jardine Land, Heung Kong Electric Company, etc., and even the white executives of Jardine Land like Niu Bijian have died, so what does Chinese capital mean?
Yan Jieling seemed to have thought of something.
Wei Li shook hands with Yan Chengkun and said hello to the Yan family's children.
"Father, maybe you are overthinking," Yan Jieling said.
Once upon a time, he was as young as Sir Yang and did not pay attention to white people at all. However, when he was young, he was not as powerful as Sir Yang.
When it comes to working for his boss, and his boss Sir Yang is so generous, Wei Li naturally becomes more serious.
Weili was really surprised.
The other party was coming to see him, so how could he not be worried?
Yan Chengkun sighed.
Who is Wei Li?
It's still the first day of the Lunar New Year, and the Yan family is indeed very lively.
However, when he heard it, he still felt different.
China Bus was his life's work, and when he suddenly heard that it was being acquired by another company, he was certainly different. However, he was still a big-shot person after all, so his reaction was not as strong as he expected.
