"Mr. Ye, to be honest, the reason why I wanted to change jobs from Signey Steel Factory was mainly because I was troubled by shareholders." Ma Wensheng was silent for a moment, and then explained, "As a Chinese and in a foreign country, even if I have the ability, it is difficult to gain trust."

Ye Jin was stunned and nodded.

He was quite touched by this sentence. Although he had a career, family and reputation in America, he still felt like an outsider.

This is also why he decided to travel around the world and finally settled in Hong Kong. After living in America for so many years, he still couldn't adapt to life here.

"They are very picky about my work, which repeatedly hinders it, seriously interfering with the company's operations." Ma Wensheng continued to explain, "So I think it's boring to continue doing it, so I want to change the environment."

"So that's it." Ye Jin nodded, "If you were asked to take over Donglong Steel, how would you change its status quo?"

"I think Donglong Steel has a good foundation. I did a survey and it supplied one-third of the steel in Xiangjiang at its peak. Large real estate companies such as Hengji Real Estate, Hehe Real Estate, Changjiang Industrial, Xinhe Real Estate, Dachang Real Estate, and Yingjun Group are all its customers. They have long-term cooperation and have deep relationships." Ma Wensheng was prepared and talked freely, "But now it is the low point of Xiangjiang Real Estate, it is obviously not enough to rely on these old customers. I think it is necessary to explore other markets to resolve the crisis of Donglong Steel."

"It makes sense." Ye Jin nodded.

The reason why Xiangjiang's economy is currently in a low tide is mainly because its future is uncertain, so major companies dare not invest. Unless the boots are landed and the negative news is exhausted, the Xiangjiang economy will bottom out and rebound.

Ye Jin didn't know when the boots would land, but he also knew that such a major event as the negotiations on the future of Xiangjiang would be impossible to complete without a year or two.

Now the negotiations have just begun, which means that at least one year will the boots be put into the ground. In this year, the economy of Xiangjiang will not improve.

In other words, if Donglong Steel points to local customers, there will probably be no business for a year. In this way, Ye Jin will lose a lot. Therefore, the best way is as Ma Wensheng said, you must expand a new market.

"Mr. Ye, please believe me. If you hand over the company to me for management, within three months, I will sell all the inventory worth 300 million Hong Kong dollars in Donglong Steel." Ma Wensheng said again.

"Okay, give me some time to consider." Ye Jin nodded, "I will reply to you within a week."

"Yes, then I'll wait for your good news." Ma Wensheng smiled and then stood up, "Mr. Ye, if it's okay, then I'll leave first."

...

Ye Jin then met two other candidates.

To be honest, he thinks these two are also very good.

Especially Ken Adam, an Asian American native, was very proficient in steel trade. Before that, he was the sales manager of the Cleveland Litton Steel Plant.

Originally, the company's steel sales fell into recession in the 1970s. However, with the efforts of Ken Adam, the sales of Litton Steel Plant rebounded and has now completely turned losses into profits.

Such a feat that turned the tide was impressive and very satisfied with Ye Jin. However, Ma Wensheng was also very good, which made him a little difficult to choose.

"Okay, let's use your last move." Ye Jin had a hard time making a decision, so he thought about it over and over again and finally decided to draw lots.

He wrote the names of the two on two pieces of paper, then balled the paper into two small balls, then threw it and grabbed it casually. When he opened the ball of paper, he saw Ken Adam's name.

"Well, then choose him. God is so willing, I can't do anything about it." Ye Jin curled his lips, and then ordered his assistant to call the background investigation company to carefully investigate Ken Adam's background.

If after investigation, his information is indeed the same as his resume, then he can become the general manager of Donglong Steel Company.

The so-called background investigation is an independent professional organization that relies on authoritative data sources to verify and compare the personal background information submitted by the person under investigation through legal means and forms a background investigation report to assist the client to verify its authenticity.

This kind of thing is very common in large companies. Especially when recruiting senior managers, background checks are particularly important.

...

Just as the relevant agencies conducted a background investigation on Ken Adam, Ye Jin received a call from Xiangjiang, and the person who called was Li Chaoren.

"Mr. Ye, I heard that you are acquiring Huidefeng and Gangdeng recently?" he asked Ye Jin.

"Yes, I heard that both companies are about to sell, so I am going to take over." Ye Jin nodded and said, "Mr. Li, your news is really good. I didn't plan to show off, but I didn't expect you to find out."

"Actually, not only I know it myself, but many people know it." Li Chaoren smiled, "Mr. Ye, if you don't take action, it's amazing to take action. You plan to acquire both companies, it's really a big deal."

"Hey, it's only 600 billion Hong Kong dollars at most, what a big deal." Ye Jin curled his lips when he heard this.

Last year alone, Fox Group invested more than $2 billion to expand the TV network, which is about 16 billion Hong Kong dollars. And Ye Jin made 670 billion Hong Kong dollars in stock market crash last year. So spending 67 billion Hong Kong dollars is really not a big deal.

"Mr. Ye, you are really unusual." Li Chaoren couldn't help but smile bitterly when he heard Ye Jin say this.

"Okay, Mr. Li, call me, not only congratulations. You can speak up if you have anything to do. It's not the first time you and I have worked together, so why bother so much?" Ye Jin smiled again.

"Yes, Mr. Ye is so quick-witted. I'm too upset." Li Chaoren smiled and said, "Actually, that's right. I originally wanted to acquire Hong Kong Ding, and I've been talking about it last year."

"That's it, then okay, half of our shares will be managed after the acquisition, so what?" Ye Jin pondered for a moment.

In fact, he had no idea about how to run a power company like Hongdeng. It was just right to hand it over to a business genius like Li Chaoren.

"OK, that's the decision. Thank you Mr. Ye for your courtesy. You really have the elegance of adult beauty." Li Chaoren praised, "By the way, Mr. Ye, let me tell you another news. It is said that the ship king Bao Jinshui is also making the idea of ​​meeting Defeng."

"Not surprising." Ye Jin said with a smile when he heard this.

Bao Jinshui was originally the Asian ship king. The total tonnage of its ships reached 20 million tons, accounting for 30% of the total load of Xiangjiang ships. In addition, after he acquired Hutchison Whampoa the year before, he also began to vigorously develop the real estate industry.

Huidefeng has both ships, docks, and real estate, so it would be more appropriate to buy Baojinshui.
