Chapter 296 The Star of Tomorrow

Chapter 296 The Star of Tomorrow
When the Carrian Group acquired shares in Nikkatsu Films and Rama Tower, it only cost 1.5 million Hong Kong dollars. Even if Fang Hexuan bought them at the original price, this amount of money would not even be enough for him.

Alphabet did not spend too much to acquire the shares of these two Japanese and Thai companies for 1.2 million yuan, considering their current market value, and the Carrian Group did not suffer a loss. It was a deal that both parties could accept.

It’s just that Fang Hexuan shouted out 8000 million Hong Kong dollars at the beginning, but was slapped in the face in the end.

But Fang Hexuan was willing to cooperate with Chen Songqing in putting on a show even if it meant being laughed at by his own subordinates in the group and his peers in the Hong Kong business community. Wasn't it just to cover up the subsequent transactions?
By July and August, Hong Kong's land and property markets were just beginning to collapse. The cooperation between the two companies was able to reduce unnecessary suspicion by secretly carrying out the cooperation.

In fact, Fang Hexuan knew that if he made a deal with Chen Songqing, he would be tainted by some stains anyway, but as long as most Hong Kong citizens did not believe that he had planned it, and as long as the ICAC did not have conclusive evidence, he would have a way to get rid of the subsequent investigation.

What's more, he did spend real money to acquire some high-quality assets of the Jianing Group, so it was not like he was getting something for nothing.

Fang Hexuan just didn't want to have to fight and compete with others after the group company was closed down.

When the market was at its lowest, Fang Hexuan could get some of Jianing's high-quality properties, buildings, hotels and land from Chen Songqing at only 10% to 30% of the usual price, which was still very attractive.

Some locations are in excellent locations and may not be available even if you spend money. Fang Hexuan thinks it is worth it to use some means or even take some small risks when necessary.

Although Chen Songqing was very dissatisfied with his repeated coercion, he could only suffer in silence because he really didn't have much time left.

But the two companies have just completed a transaction, and the next transaction will definitely take some time.

During this period, Chen Songqing also had to continue to sell non-business-related assets purchased during the excessive expansion in previous years to some other companies at a discount.

Although it seems like a lot of moves, the real estate, finance, etc., which are the main businesses of the Jianing Group, have not been affected, so it has received positive feedback from the market and shareholders.

At least, the decline in Jianing Investment's share price has narrowed.

After beating Chen Songqing, Fang Hexuan stopped pestering him. After all, the most delicious food requires time to brew.

On June 6, Jiang Guoyong flew back to Hong Kong from Neon.

He is now the president of supply chain of Alphabet Group. He has many talented people under him and is highly trusted by Fang Hexuan.

From being a supply chain manager for BYD and BMW subsidiaries to the current president of the group supply chain, Jiang Guoyong can be said to be considered as a rising star of Alphabet's future, just like Canning Fok and others.

Their career ceiling is likely to be the CEO of this giant group, and it is foreseeable that they will join the group's board of directors.

The reason why Fang Hexuan granted him such a high position and rapid promotion was because this person was indeed capable and had made considerable contributions in helping Fang Hexuan establish his business empire.

For example, if Fang Hexuan were to handle BYD's supply chain himself, not to mention whether he had the ability to do so, the thought of the time it would take was enough to make him shudder.

Since Jiang Guoyong took over the construction of BYD Auto's global supply chain, he may have to fly around the world with his team for 365 days out of 300 days a year.

This is not something that ordinary people can bear. It requires not only carefulness and patience, but also a firm heart.

A company's supply chain system is simple to talk about, but apart from establishing a detailed supplier database in the early stages, the subsequent operational management is more complicated.

And all of these were built by Jiang Guo with their help. Like many iron armies of Alibaba, his team's combat effectiveness is very strong. Since Jiang was fooled by Fang Hexuan to join, his hair has turned a lot white in just four years.

His wife almost divorced him because he was away on business for a long time. The plane tickets he saved up over the years could even be packed in a sack.

I have to say that Chiang Kai-shek was quite lucky. He took thousands of flights in four years and never encountered any major air accidents.

When BYD's supply system was almost built, he was ordered by Fang Hexuan to go and help Maple Leaf Company. He really had a professional spirit of moving wherever he was needed.

However, in order to motivate him and his team, Fang Hexuan not only increased everyone's salary, but also promoted him directly to the level of group president.

As for whether he was worried about being unable to get rid of the tail, Fang Hexuan had definitely considered this issue.

First of all, in the entire Chinese society, there are people like Fang Hexuan who have the courage and vision to enter the high-end manufacturing industry, but their platforms are far from big enough.

Secondly, before hiring this person, he also conducted an in-depth background check and had a certain understanding of his character and conduct.

Generally speaking, this person will not easily do something shameful like betraying his employer.

Finally, Fang Hexuan was not without defensive measures. At least, he had planted a few nails within Jiang Guoyong's team.

With his current influence in the Chinese world, if the other party really wants to jump ship with the resources he has accumulated in Alphabet over the years, Fang Hexuan has the ability to make sure he is dead.

It's not about physically destroying him, but about ending his career completely in public opinion.

Jiang Guoyong came back from Neon this time just to report the production progress of Neon OEM factory to his big boss.

Next month, Maple Leaf Company will launch its first personal computer. Although Fang Hexuan does not plan to stock up too much, ensuring the smooth and accurate operation of each link is his most basic requirement.

He didn't want himself and Maple Leaf to be laughed at by the global technology community.

After asking his assistant to pour him a cup of coffee, Fang Hexuan personally took out a box of premium Cuban cigars and handed it to him.

"Mr. Jiang, you have worked so hard. Once Maple Leaf's first batch of products is successfully launched, I will arrange a one-month vacation for you. You can choose any of the major resorts around the world. All expenses will be paid by me as your boss!"

Jiang Guoyong was very touched by Fang Hexuan's thoughtfulness and respect. He was not hypocritical. He took out a cigar from the cigar box and said with a smile:
"It's rare that Mr. Fang is so generous. I will keep it in mind. My family has been clamoring many times to go on vacation, but unfortunately I have never been able to find the time."

Fang Hexuan took a sip of coffee, also with a look of regret on his face, but then smiled and said:
"You are a hero of Alphabet, and you will be remembered in the history of the group's development."

Jiang Guoyong is now the president of the group, with an annual salary of about 5 million Hong Kong dollars, but his subsidies and bonuses exceed 20 million, so he is definitely a wealthy man.

He is no longer interested in money, but wants to make further progress in his personal career development.
