Chapter 9 Fall (2)
Li Liwei and Niu Bijian briefly talked about the relationship between themselves and United Trust.
"Oh, so that's it." Newbijian nodded. No wonder the woman in front of her had a very confident tone, giving herself the feeling that she could enter the United Trust tomorrow if she nodded.
"Sir New York was known as the Jardini Twins in Hong Kong in the 1970s, along with Ma Shimin, who currently works in Hutchison Whampoa. The Ma Dacha had already seen through the most fatal weakness of the Caesar family in the 1970s. The extreme fear of the mainland regime led to artificial distortion of corporate strategy, and believed that Jardini would definitely decline in the future." Li Liwei looked at the Noobian opposite her with a smile.
Ma Shimin, a little Niubijian, was six years old and was nearly ten years later than Niubijian. The only thing they had in common was that they both started from the lowest level of Jardine Wong Foreign Company, and worked in various branches around the world. They were eventually promoted to Jardine Wong's senior management with excellent performance.
However, Ma Shimin is no longer as good as Neubijian and his son, who served in Jardine Ma, and his relationship with Jardine Ma, had a deep connection with his interests. After Ma Shimin entered Jardine Ma's senior management, he was used to the fierce struggle between Jardine Ma's senior management against corporate strategies. After judging that Jardine Ma's future would be bleak, he voluntarily resigned from Jardine Ma's senior management in the late 1970s.
When Ma Shimin left Jardine, there was a stir in the circle of senior managers in Hong Kong. Before Ma Shimin left, countless people believed that Ma Shimin was the biggest opponent of Jardine's chairman. At that time, the news circle in Hong Kong speculated countless reasons for Ma Shimin's resignation. Nude was labeled as a despicable means to suppress Ma Shimin.
Even when Newbijian was defeated and left Hong Kong, the media also dug up the old news of the year. They believed that Newbijian was swept out by the Caesar family and replayed the experience of Ma Shimin being suppressed. It was a reward for one return.
Since Li Liwei has come to invite Newbie to work in Hong Kong, she naturally knows very well about these inside stories. Ma Shimin is working hard in Hutchison Whampoa and is in a thrilling mood. Li Liwei deliberately mentions Ma Shimin as she is definitely adding fuel to the fire.
"After Sir New York resigned from Jardine Ma, Ma Shimin led Hutchison Whampoa to acquire Hong Kong lamps and insisted that Hutchison Whampoa enter the mainland on a large scale. The policies implemented by Ma Shimin in Hutchison Whampoa are very similar to the strategies that Sir New York insisted on in Jardine Ma. At present, Hutchison Whampoa's business is booming and changing with each passing day. From this we can see that the business policy set by Sir New York for Jardine Ma was not inappropriate."
"It is precisely based on this that United Trust believes that Sir New York has a far-reaching vision, and Jardine's dismissal of Sir New York is definitely one of the most serious losses in Jardine's development history." Li Liwei flattered her for a little while.
After hearing Li Liwei's words, Niu Bijian couldn't help but feel grateful for his hard work in the workplace. He felt that this was the most objective evaluation of his experience in working at Jardine Arts after leaving Hong Kong.
"Ms. Li is over-reputable." Nou Bijian, who loves Chinese culture, has a rare Chinese-style humility.
"Ms. Li, please be aware of my liberty. I wonder if Miss Li can give a more specific explanation of the responsibilities of the position of President of United Trust. Frankly speaking, I am still very much looking forward to returning to Hong Kong to serve, but I must have enough reason to convince my wife. The unfair evaluation of me by the Hong Kong media at that time deeply hurt her, so that she never set foot on Hong Kong land after leaving Hong Kong." Newbijian said.
Li Liwei pondered for a moment and said seriously: "Sir New, the words I said below have nothing to do with my job at Guanghui International. They are just giving Sir New to some advice and references to friends. They cannot be used as a proof of the scope of responsibility of the President of the United Trust."
Nou Bijian nodded to express his understanding.
"In addition to what Sir New York saw in the contract, there are two main responsibilities of the president of United Trust." Li Liwei paused for a moment, as if she was sorting out her thoughts.
"First, United Trust is forming a large media group, which will establish an independent subsidiary under the group to be responsible for satellite TV business."
Looking at the look of Newbi Jian's doubtful eyes, Li Liwei smiled and continued: "I think although Sir Newbi has been away from Hong Kong Island for a long time, he is definitely not ignorant of the recent situation of the Hong Kong business community."
"Strictly speaking, this matter has a direct relationship with Hsiao-Huang, led by Ma Shimin. When Jardine ran business in the United States, he had close ties with Lloyd’s insurance company in the United States. All Jardine’s assets in the United States were insured by Lloyd’s insurance company. Sir New should be very familiar with Lloyd’s insurance company." Li Liwei asked.
Newbijian nodded and said, "Last year, when I went to the United States to go public, I met with Lloyd's Insurance President James Bradley in Washington, D.C.."
"Sir New York should know more about Lloyd's insurance company's recovery of Western Union 6 satellite than me." Li Liwei said with a chuckling.
Newbi smiled as a default.
In February 1984, the "Western Union 6" produced by Hughes for Western Union was launched into the space by the Challenger space shuttle, but the launch failed and the satellite wandered in space.
After the launch failed, Lloyd’s Insurance Company, which insured for Western Union 6 satellite, compensated Western Union for US$75 million in premiums, and the ownership of the satellite was transferred to Lloyd’s.
Faced with this huge loss, Lloyd’s negotiated with NASA to study whether the satellite could be recovered. After NASA charged Lloyd’s insurance company $2.75 million, it recycled the “Western Union 6” in November 1984.
Even in the new century, retrieval of satellites from space is a technological miracle. NASA's recycling operation was made into a documentary forever. After the successful recycling of Western Union 6, after Hughes repaired, Lloyd’s Insurance Company sold the "Western Union 6" to the American Trey Satellite Company for $50 million. Unfortunately, Trey went bankrupt shortly afterwards, and the satellite returned to Lloyd’s.
In order to make up for the losses, Lloyd’s insurance company intends to re-send Western Union Six into space. Now, after joining forces with Huang, Ma Shimin and Jia Xiaosheng of Hong Kong CITIC, it is working hard to convince the Republic and the United States to use the Republic’s cheap Long March series rocket to launch this disaster-lost satellite.
At this time, Ma Shimin was running back and forth between China and the United States to cause this matter.
Newbijian showed a sudden look. Ma Shimin was qualified to promote this matter. The connections he had accumulated at Jardine Ma at that time played a crucial role. Since this joint trust with a strong Chinese background also plans to enter the satellite TV industry, it is normal to find himself.
"Second, United Trust intends to acquire Hong Kong Land or Jardine Mahjong Foreign Company." Li Liwei threw out a large bomb.
