Chapter 785 John Bao arrives in Xiangjiang!
The average temperature in London in February is around 5 degrees Celsius.
Still very cold.
When John and his wife, who were used to living in Hong Kong, returned to London, they felt particularly uncomfortable.
It was not until Barlow came to see him on behalf of Sir Yang that John Bao knew that he could return to Xiangjiang again.
That night.
John Bao, his wife and his family immediately packed up their things.
Early the next morning, John and his wife immediately took a direct flight from London Heathrow International Airport to Hong Kong Kai Tak International Airport.
Less than fourteen hours.
The flight landed safely at Kai Tak International Airport.
Wearing sunglasses, John and his wife got off the plane and looked at the blue sky and white clouds in Hong Kong, and the temperature in Hong Kong was nearly 20 degrees Celsius, which was a very comfortable weather.
John Bao felt that his mood suddenly recovered.
"Madam, we are back to Xiangjiang."
At this moment, John Bao really wanted to regard Xiangjiang as his real home.
John Bao also did not expect that after he retired from Huifeng Bank last year, so many things would happen in Xiangjiang.
John and his wife got off the plane.
He had already seen someone coming to greet him.
It was no one else who came to greet him.
It is none other than the number two figure in the Empire Group, Mr. Merlis, the general manager of the Empire Group.
"Mr. John Bao, Mrs. John Bao, I am here to welcome you on behalf of the boss, and welcome back to Xiangjiang."
"Mr. Malice, thank you, thank you Sir Yang."
John Bao was still very excited.
Sir Yang sent Meris to pick him up, which showed that he still valued him.
Both sides shake hands.
No lingering at the airport.
Melis and John Bao got into the car in person.
John Bao has already learned that Chen Songqing's trial is still continuing. Although he has not pleaded guilty, he is afraid that he will go to Stanley and go to jail for many years. Originally, John Bao has heard that Chen Songqing's Jiani Group needs debt restructuring, and hired him back to Hong Kong with a high salary to be responsible for the restructuring.
Who would have thought that Chen Songqing would actually kill someone?
Chen Songqing's murder has touched the nerves of many people.
Winning and losing in business are normal, but if you want to use murder to solve the problem, then the nature of the situation will be different.
"Mr. Malice, I really didn't expect that!"
What John Bao didn't expect the most was that Sir Yang easily swallowed up the third largest foreign trade company in Hong Kong, Wheelock & Company, owned by the Zhang family and the Ma Shi family.
"Mr. John Bao, the economic environment in Hong Kong has been changing, and the Zhang family and the Ma Shi family have to give up Wheelock & Company. At this time, in their view, Wheelock & Company is already a mess. In our empire,
The group seems to be still a treasure.”
Being able to become the third largest foreign bank in Hong Kong is certainly not an easy task for Wheelock.
Historically, if Bao Yugang had not swallowed up Wheelock during his lifetime, it would not have been considered a successful landing.
The Bao family was divided into four, and the most important assets were swallowed up by the Wu Guangzhen family, which brought a steady stream of wealth to the Wu Guangzhen family.
In Yang Ming's view, if it were not for the current special environment, it would be difficult to swallow up Wheelock at ten times the current purchase price.
Melis and John Bao left here by car.
Mrs. John Bao and his children went to the place where they originally lived.
Arrive at Repulse Bay Mid-Levels Villa.
Melis and John Bao got out of the car.
John Bao had been to Sir Yang's mountainside villa before.
"Mr. Mellis, Mr. John Bao, and Mr. Yang are waiting for you in the garden."
Lin Dezhong took the two of them to the garden.
Seeing Sir Yang looking away from them with his back turned, he didn't know what Sir Yang was thinking.
"Mr. Yang, Mr. Melis is here to pick up Mr. John."
Yang Ming turned around and looked over.
Seeing the white-haired John Bao, he is actually in his sixties. According to the retirement age, he naturally retired last year.
On the contrary, Shen Yi is only 56 years old this year, which is still early for retirement.
"Sir Young."
John Bao hurriedly said hello.
At this time, he was no longer the vice chairman of Huifeng Bank, but was about to become Sir Yang's subordinate.
"Hello, Mr. John Bao."
Yang Ming and John Bao shook hands.
The two of them were still filled with emotion when they met again.
When Shen Bian wanted to sell Hutchison Whampoa to Imperial Group and Sir Yang, John Bao was still curious as to why it was not sold to Pao Yugang or Li Jiacheng.
Over the years, the changes in Sir Yang and the Imperial Group have made him admire Shen Bi more and more.
This time Shen Bi and Huifeng Bank were deceived by Chen Songqing. It can only be said that it was the worst time in Shen Bi's life that he was deceived. However, Shen Bi's return on investment in Sir Yang and Imperial Group was far higher. More than those who were deceived. In any case, Shen Bi's position in the top class of Huifeng Bank is still very stable.
The three of them sat down.
Here we talked about the situation in Xiangjiang.
Had a cup of coffee.
Go upstairs to the study room.
"Mr. John Pao, I am going to hand over Wheelock to your management. What do you think?"
Before John Bao came back, Barlow had already talked to him on behalf of Sir Yang.
As for salary and benefits, they are far beyond John Bao's imagination.
Even if John Bao retires and has a good pension, can work again, and has a high salary, and most importantly, can still play his role and return to a high position, why wouldn't he?
"Sir Young, I will take good care of Wheelock."
John Bao had worked at Wheelock for so many years, and he once held a higher position than Shen Bi. If Shen Bi had not been recognized by the previous chief executive, Sanders, John Bao would have been the new chief executive of Huifeng Bank.
Even so, he has done a very good job cooperating with Shen Bi over the years.
"Mr. John Bao, I believe in your ability."
Wheelock & Company is famous for nearly 200 large companies, such as Wheelock, Wheelock Shipping, United Enterprises, and even Xiangjiang Tunnel, Real Estate Trust, Commonwealth Real Estate, Sullivan Development, Lane Crawford, etc.
These are very large companies in Hong Kong and even in Nanyang, involving two hundred companies.
The funniest thing in history is that after Wu Guangzhen took over Wheelock, he actually gave up the name Wheelock and replaced Wheelock with another name.
In fact, markets in Nanyang and even markets around the world only recognize the name Wheelock.
In other words, after Wheelock acquired it, the value of the name played a very important role. How could it be given up?
At this point, Yang Ming felt that Wu Guangzhen's methods were far inferior to those of his father-in-law Bao Yugang.
Yang Ming learned Wu Guangzhen's lesson and could not be like Wu Guangzhen. However, Wheelock Shipping suffered great operating losses in the hands of John Horseman.
At first, Yang Ming wanted to merge Wheelock Shipping into the First Shipping Group of Hong Kong. However, Yang Ming felt that Wheelock Shipping also had a certain value, and the management was handed over to Li Caixin's First Shipping Management. However, The name is still retained.
Just like Bao Yugang obviously already has global shipping, he also wants to develop Asia Shipping Group.
In other words, in Bao Yugang's eyes, global shipping alone is definitely not enough.
The same is true for the current Imperial Group. Just the First Shipping Group is not enough. Wheelock Line will still remain.
