Chapter 440【Seek! ] (3000 words!)

Hong Kong Island in October, the autumn is bright and refreshing!

On the day of October 15, China Gas held a general meeting of shareholders;

At the meeting, a person who surprised all shareholders-Wu Guangyao appeared.

Wu Guangyao helped Wheelock last time to repel the attempted hostile acquisition of China Gas by Ocean Company, which was talked about on Hong Kong Island;

At that time, it was the peak period of China Gas's stock price, and then the stock market plummeted due to the turmoil on Hong Kong Island. It can be said that Wu Guangyao lost a lot of money by doing this;

Even so, Wu Guangyao did not take the opportunity to propose to join the China Gas Board of Directors and share the rights of Wheelock, even though this request is reasonable;

This kind of noble quality, as well as the personal friendship with Little Madden, has made many business people on Hong Kong Island talk about it.

Wu Guangyao generously nodded and smiled to a group of shareholders, and a group of shareholders also responded amicably;

Everyone looked at Little Madden’s face, and the release of Little Madden also looked calm and smiling;

There are speculations that Shark Dare may be invited by Madden to become a director of the China Gas Board of Directors;

This is a good thing. Wu Guangyao is good at business and will definitely put forward some constructive opinions on China Gas.

At the beginning of the meeting, there was an episode that made everyone confused, that is, Madden took the initiative to invite Wu Guangyao to sit on the chair of China Gas, but Wu Guangyao refused again.

What does it mean?

Just when everyone was speculating, Little Madden could not compete with Wu Guangyao, so he could only sit on the chairmanship;

Little Madden invited Wu Guangyao to sit next to him, and everyone settled down.

After counting the number of shareholders, Little Madden said: "Everyone, today I want to announce a good news! Mr. Wu will be the chairman of the board of directors of China Gas. He will lead us and China Gas to grow and become a company based on Hong Kong Island and going to the world. Large company. Let us welcome Mr. Wu Guangyao!"

Madden’s words made all the shareholders in the meeting room look at each other, but they still received warm applause.

After the applause, a shareholder asked: "Mr. Wu, we want to know how many shares of China Gas do you own? Are you a major shareholder of China Gas?"

Wu Guangyao said: "I already own 35% of China Gas's shares. Everyone has no objections to my status as a major shareholder, right!"

The shareholders in the meeting room listened, and there was no objection.

Then, Wu Guangyao presided over the meeting: "Thank you Mr. Madden for your invitation. I have the honour to become the chairman of a century-old company-China Gas! First of all, I have a suggestion, which is to invite Mr. Madden to continue to be the honorary chairman of China Gas. , And enjoy the lofty status of the board of directors."

Wu Guangyao’s words made Madden very useful, and it also made a group of shareholders feel Wu Guangyao’s quality of being kind to people.

Little Madden said: “Thank Chairman Wu for his trust in me, and I am willing to continue to contribute my strength to China Gas Company!”

Next, Wu Guangyao gave a speech on his first policy plan for taking office as Chairman of China Gas.

"My policy is divided into two rewards:

The first return, the return to customers and citizens.

As everyone knows, gas is used exclusively by wealthy people on Hong Kong Island, and gas supply is only available in luxury residential areas;

I think gas is easy to clean, healthy and safe, so we must actively bring gas to civilian residential areas.

First of all, we will lay 3,500 kPa gas pipes on the island and the Kowloon area to achieve full coverage of the island and the island.

In addition to making breakthroughs in infrastructure development, we must actively follow the opinions of the public and improve gas appliances such as stoves;

Think about it, the housing area on Hong Kong Island is generally small, so are European and American stoves really suitable for us?

So, we are looking for the most suitable brand stove for Hong Kong Island, such as going to Japan to find cooperation, or even personally participating in the design;

We will also open a ‘customer service center’ and ‘equipment display center’ across Hong Kong Island to promote us and promote the application of gas. "

Wu Guangyao's first ‘report’ was finished, and he paused to indicate if anyone has any questions!

A small shareholder questioned: “According to Mr. Wu, China Gas may just sell itself and cannot afford to invest in such a large project!”

A group of small shareholders laughed. Everyone has similar ideas. Wu Guangyao’s investment is really too big!

Wu Guangyao doesn't care about this questioning, because not everyone has vision and courage.

Wu Guangyao said: "Then everyone will listen to it again and make an evaluation later!

Next, I will talk about the second return, the return to shareholders;

In fact, the first return I mentioned is also a return to shareholders;

Only when the user base is large, the interests of everyone will be greater, and everyone should understand this truth.

In addition to increasing customers and expanding business, we can also choose to invest;

I intend to allow China Gas to invest in gas stations, oil storage and other businesses, as well as participate in real estate investment and development;

Even to a certain extent, I will let China Gas enter the oil field, go global, and become an energy company

As for the question of which shareholder just now, I would like to say that without funds, we can issue new shares to raise funds, directional increase in shares, and loans;

In short, if a company does not think about development, then sooner or later the company will become the food in the eyes of others, and sooner or later it will be divided. "

After listening to Wu Guangyao’s policy speech, everyone was shocked, and then there was warm applause!

With such a person to lead everyone, how can everyone lose confidence?

Wu Guangyao personally takes charge of the China Gas Company, he is naturally ambitious!

Wu Guangyao naturally looks down on a pipeline gas company in the district, but if he uses China Gas as a medium, Wu Guangyao can do a lot of things. He wants to turn China Gas into an energy giant.

So, after the meeting of the China Gas Board of Directors, Wu Guangyao announced in the media that he was in charge of China Gas and put forward his own policy plan.

The next day, most newspapers on Hong Kong Island published the matter, which naturally aroused public discussion.

Citizens have commented, and most of them are optimistic!

“From the perspective of Mr. Wu Guangyao’s acquisition of CMB in the past few years, Mr. Wu Guangyao has served the public and strived for better returns for shareholders. Therefore, I am in charge of Mr. Wu Guangyao’s leadership of China Gas and proposed the governance plan. , Is very promising!"

"From the perspective of Mr. Wu Guangyao's policy, it is another policy that has the best of both worlds; that is, it can allow more people on Hong Kong Island to use efficient and safe gas, and it can also bring benefits to shareholders, killing two birds with one stone!"

Hong Kong Island public opinion is all in support of Wu Guangyao's involvement in the public affairs company. Everyone thinks that Wu Guangyao is a rich man who really considers the people of Hong Kong Island.

This kind of public opinion quickly fermented, and the media on Hong Kong Island suddenly searched for Wu Guangyao's "good people and good things" and published them in newspapers.

Sing Tao Daily reported this:

Help the emergency and take care of the subordinates.

In 1967, turmoil occurred on Hong Kong Island, the property and stock market plummeted, and the entire Hong Kong Island economic market was in turmoil;

A middle-level management surnamed Chen who has followed Mr. Wu Guangyao for many years, because of the failure of stock trading, he lost his money;

was forced to position by a securities brokerage firm again, really desperate, wanting to cry without tears.

After Mr. Wu Guangyao knew about this matter, he called the company executives without waiting for the management to ask for help.

"Let's close the position for him!"

The executive couldn’t help but ask: “Help him at this time?”

Executives mean that it’s not a peaceful and prosperous world now. It’s a great disaster. I don’t know how many people fail. Who will take care of it?

Mr. Wu Guangyao said: “At this time, if I don’t help him, who else will help him?”

The executives are silent, the boss is nostalgic!

Not to mention an old man who has been with him for decades, even a young man who has just served as a clerk next to his boss, has similar dangers, but it is not him who ‘fried’ the stocks, but his family.

One day, the boss found that the clerks around him were unhappy and frowning, so he took the initiative to inquire;

The clerk spoke out the troubles in his heart. He said: "I want to help my family, but I don't have the ability, but I can't save myself, and I can't bear it."

So, the generous and caring boss Wu Guangyao quietly solved a problem for the people around him.

"Ming Pao" also found a material:

On Hong Kong Island, if you ask all the contractors (contractors), who are most willing to cooperate with the real estate company, it must be Cheung Kong.

The construction site of Cheung Kong has never had the problem of defaulting on the project payment, and even discovered such a touching thing:

One day, during a meeting, the senior management of Hong Kong Island Construction Co., Ltd. mentioned to Wu Guangyao that the contractor for one of the projects required Hong Kong Island Construction Co., Ltd. to make up a payment for the project, but Hong Kong Island Construction Co., Ltd. refused;

The reason for refusal is that the price of the construction project is clearly stated in the contract. How can it be possible that after the completion of the project, the price will be increased?

Mr. Wu Guangyao asked curiously: "Why did that contractor turn back? He must have a reason, right?"

An executive from Hong Kong Island First Construction said: “Yes, he said that when he fell the bid, he made a wrong calculation; it was not until the end of the project that he realized that he had done a loss-making business.”

The executive added: “The contract is signed in black and white, and it is protected by law. Hong Kong Island First Construction can ignore it!”

Mr. Wu Guangyao said to the executives earnestly and earnestly: "When the market is good, everyone makes money, but he suffers a loss. It is pitiful. The law is nothing more than human favor, and the contractor is our long-term partner, anyway. We made money from this project, so let's replenish him with that money. Happy to everyone!"

A group of media seemed to have found a good news material, and they asked about Wu Guangyao's ‘good deeds, good deeds’, and then reported them.

The citizens are particularly interested in such things these days!

So it was caused. For a period of time, Wu Guangyao became a target sought after by the media on Hong Kong Island.

Seeing that this kind of thing is getting worse and worse, Wu Guangyao hastened to call on Yang Kang and asked him to say hello to various newspapers!

Just enough!

If you continue to do this, you will make yourself a ‘saint’. What if you make a mistake in the future?
