Chapter 136： Huo Jianning

Minnesota is bordered by the Canadian provinces of Manitoba and Ontario to the north, Lake Superior to the east, Wisconsin across the Mississippi River, Iowa to the south, and South and North Dakota to the west. The extreme north point of the continental United States (49 degrees 23 minutes north latitude) is in the state, so Minnesota is also known as the North Star State. With an area of ​​219,000 square kilometers, it ranks 12th among the 50 states. Population 5 million. The capital is Sao Paulo.

After Bao Zixuan finished his work in New York, he came directly to this place with a relatively small population in the United States. He originally thought of coming over next year, but he was afraid that there would not be much time next year.

The oil crisis is coming to an end, and the construction of the factory is coming to an end. I missed a lot of classes at MIT, and I couldn't do too much of a lot of things. Bao Zixuan came here this time to find Heiyun to be a professional manager in the next 30 years, and at the same time to grab talents before Li Chaoren.

Huo Jianning, obtained a Bachelor of Arts degree from St. John's University in Minnesota, USA in 1974, and obtained a professional accountant qualification. After returning from studying in the United States in 1979, he was taken over by Li Ka-shing to the Cheung Kong Group and served as the accounting director.

Later, he studied at the University of New England in Australia, obtained a degree in financial management, and obtained the Australian accountant qualification. He was promoted to executive director of Hutchison Whampoa in 1984, appointed director of Cheung Kong in 1985, and became vice director and general manager in 1987. Until 1993, he succeeded Ma Shimin and became the director and general manager of Hutchison Whampoa.

On May 5, 2010, the Inland Revenue Department of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region Government released data showing that in 2009-2010, the "working emperor" who paid the most salaries tax had a tax of 91 million Hong Kong dollars, which was higher than 71 million Hong Kong dollars in 2008-2009. An increase of 28.2%. According to the annual report published by Hutchison, Huo Jianning's salary in 2009 reached 124 million Hong Kong dollars, and he is still called the "emperor of migrant workers" in Hong Kong.

He joined Cheung Kong in 1979 as an accounting director. With his financial and financial talents and practical style, he has been promoted all the way. In 1984, he was promoted to executive director of Hutchison, and in 1985 he was appointed director of Changshi. In 1993, he became the managing director of Hutchison Huang.

After Huo Jianning took over, he continued to restructure and successfully turned the business from loss to profit through mergers and acquisitions. Afterwards, he took advantage of Husky's good performance and took advantage of the trend to backdoor listing in Canada in 2012, which made the group gain a special profit of HK$6.5 billion.

Later, he took over the European telecommunications business that had been losing money for many years. Since Orange was established, it has been eroding the profits of Hutchison's telecommunications business in Hong Kong, and Hutchison Telecom has done it in disguise. In 1996, Huo Jianning resolutely split off Orange and successfully cashed out. Later, when the time was ripe, he resold Orange at the end of 1999, successfully earning more than 160 billion Hong Kong dollars for the group, creating a myth.

During his tenure, Husky Oil, which had been losing money for many years, turned a profit. At the end of 1999, he facilitated a number of major transactions and developed Hutchison into a famous brand telecommunications company; in the past five years, the companies and managers of Hutchison Group have been praised by major newspapers and magazines at home and abroad for more than 50 times, and received various awards. The honorary title, Huo Jianning can be said to have contributed.

Huo Jianning's resume is commendable among professional managers. Bao Zixuan's purpose this time is to invite Huo Jianning to join the Black Cloud Group, and bring him directly to the Black Cloud Group before Li Chaoren.

Bao Zixuan met Huo Jianning in a coffee shop at St. John's University in Minnesota. At this time, Huo Jianning was not yet a working emperor in later generations, but a student who was about to return to Xiangjiang to develop soon after graduation.

Huo Jianning didn't expect that Heiyun Group boss Bao Zixuan would come to find him in person. After all, the two of them are not at the same level at all. Could it be that Heiyun Group really wanted to invite him, but he didn't need the boss to appear in person?

Bao Zixuan looked at Huo Jianning and said, "Hello! Huo Sheng, I'm Bao Zixuan.

Huo Jianning: "Hello! Baosheng! Just call me Jianning! Do you want me to help you this time?"

Bao Zixuan: "Okay! Jianning. I'm here for you this time!"

Huo Jianning: "I don't think I'm so famous yet that Bao Sheng can make a special trip to Minnesota for me."

Bao Zixuan: "You are too self-effacing. You are very famous among the international students of Xiangjiang in the United States. I have a group of people who specialize in investigating the international students of Xiangjiang all over the world. Don't get me wrong, I just want these outstanding international students to join the black. It's just the cloud group."

"Right now, RB and European and American employees in Heiyun Group account for too much, and there is no particularly good university in Hong Kong, so I can only focus on international students."

After Huo Jinning heard Bao Zixuan's explanation, he suddenly felt that way. In fact, Bao Zixuan doesn't have any team to investigate the international students in Xiangjiang for him! People are recruited based on past life memories. However, this secret cannot be told to anyone, and even if it is told, people may not necessarily believe it.

Huo Jianning: "I won't graduate until next year, and my sister is ready to recommend me to Li Chaoren."

Bao Zixuan: "Li Chaoren's company is not necessarily suitable for you. I don't mean to belittle Cheung Kong. He is a traditional industry, and you may not have great achievements wherever you are. Coming to Heiyun Group is different. My ingenuity is maximized, and I am an engineer, so I don't have the ability and energy to manage the company. If you come to Heiyun Group, the platform will be broader."

Hearing this, Huo Jianning was really tempted. After all, the strength and platform of Heiyun Group are now better than that of Cheung Kong. Moreover, entering the Black Cloud Group will not let people gossip. After all, it was his sister who recommended him to Li Chaoren, and it is inevitable that there will be villains who will make irresponsible remarks. Now that the boss of Heiyun Group personally invites him, the position will not be too low, otherwise Bao Zixuan personally recruiting is meaningful!

Huo Jianning: "I admit that what you said, Bao Sheng, makes sense, but I would like to know my position and treatment in the Black Cloud Group. After all, I have to live."

Bao Zixuan: "CFO of Heiyun Group, you are responsible for all the financial work of the entire Heiyun Group. You only need to report to me alone. The level is equivalent to the deputy general manager of the group. The basic salary is 500,000 US dollars, and there are bonuses and options. ."

Hearing this, Huo Jianning was a little uneasy How could he be in such a high position all of a sudden, and the salary is also the top in the industry, after all, it is 1978.

Huo Jianning: "Baosheng; I'm just a college student who just graduated. I can't achieve such a high position by myself. And the salary is a bit high."

Bao Zixuan didn't expect this to be a real person, and he was able to put his position in the right position. It was indeed good for him to do financial work.

Bao Zixuan: "You don't need to humble yourself, and I believe that your ability is worthy of this position and salary. You just have to tell me what you are not satisfied with, and you can put forward any requirements after returning to Xiangjiang. ."

Huo Jianning: "I don't have any dissatisfaction, but I won't be able to report to Heiyun until early next year."

Bao Zixuan: "No problem, you and I will go back to Xiangjiang this Christmas, when the Heiyun factory can be built. You should also familiarize yourself with the working environment in advance. Welcome to Heiyun." After speaking, he stretched out his hand.

Huo Jianning didn't react until Bao Zixuan's hand was in front of him, and immediately stretched out his right hand to hold Bao Zixuan's hand.

At this time, the bodyguard brought over the contract that had been prepared, Huo Jianning smiled. After a brief glance, he signed his name. Seeing this, Bao Zixuan was finally relieved, and Li Chaoren was sorry, anyway, you shouldn't mind because you have so many talents!

Bao Zixuan wrote a check for $200,000 to Huo Jianning and said, "This is your signature fee, don't be embarrassed. Every new executive of Heiyun has this fee."

Huo Jianning didn't expect that he would be given a signing fee of US$200,000 when he didn't work a day. No wonder the Black Cloud Group has grown so fast. It is this willingness that is not something ordinary bosses can do.
