Chapter 11: Huo Jianning, the King of Hired Managers

Li Jiagang and Li Haiming went out together.
When he learned that the person Li Hai-mei was talking about was "Huo Jian-ning", he did not hesitate at all and immediately asked Li Hai-mei to contact him.
Ask him to meet up.
Fortunately, Huo Jianning did not refuse to meet.
Otherwise, he would have followed Liu Bei's example and visited Zhuge Liang three times to persuade him to come out of seclusion.
Just kidding, this is Hong Kong's future strongest and most awesome "King of Hired Managers".
He is still a very loyal person.
Once he came out of seclusion, he became associated with Li Ka-shing.
To put it another way, Li Ka-shing's current success owes a great deal to Fok Kin-ning.
If we consider Li Ka-shing as an ancient emperor, then Fok Kin-ning would definitely be considered a prime minister.
If he doesn't seize the opportunity with such a talented individual who possesses a long-term vision in the business world, strong negotiation skills, a keen awareness of market crises, excellent group management abilities, and a knack for handling unexpected situations, he will surely regret it.
Most importantly, he is also highly skilled in financial management and the financial field, and can be called a top person in capital operation. With his help, he no longer has to worry about losing his country, and it will be easier to conquer new countries.
Of course, Huo Jianning has not yet truly matured, but given enough room to grow, he will surely rise to prominence quickly.
He admitted that he did not have the innate business talent of Li Ka-shing, so he needed someone like Fok Kin-ning to help him.
In the car.
Li Jiagang was thinking about Huo Jianning's life experiences.
He remembered that Fok Kin-ning joined Cheung Kong Holdings in 1979. Now it's September 1978, and Fok Kin-ning should have just returned to Hong Kong from the United States to wait for employment.
After returning from further studies in the United States in 1979, Fok Kin-ning's first job was at Cheung Kong Holdings, where he served as the chief accountant.
He recalled that Huo had worked at Cheung Kong Holdings for several years before resigning to start his own business.
It seems to be some kind of accounting firm.
It seems he couldn't make it in less than a year and announced his departure, after which he returned to Cheung Kong Holdings.
After reviewing Huo Jianning's early experiences from memory, he became even more confident in recruiting him.
Moreover, he was confident that he wouldn't let Huo leave during this period, as long as he gave him enough room to grow from the beginning, time to grow, a stage for promotion, and a sense of promising future for the company.
Are you afraid he'll leave?
Unless Li Ka-shing has truly bound himself to the system.
Then he would have nothing to say.
It will take about ten minutes.
A coffee shop on Nathan Road.
"Hello Mr. Huo, it's nice to see you again."
"Hello, Manager Li."
"Mr. Huo, this is my company's boss, Mr. Li Jiagang."
"Oh! Hello, Mr. Li."
"Mr. Huo, it's a pleasure to meet you."
"Mr. Li, you're too kind. You're so young and already the boss of a company. You're a remarkable person."
"Mr. Huo is too modest. I have seen your information. We are about the same age. You are already a double-degree holder, while I am just someone who has taken over the family business."
It's true that Mr. Li is being modest.
After exchanging pleasantries, Li Jiagang took the initiative to steer the conversation to the main topic.
"Mr. Huo, I don't like to drag things out. I'm meeting you today to sincerely invite you to join my company."
I won't say anything nice or misleading.
But I can say definitively that my company needs talent like you, Mr. Huo, to join us, and I am confident that our company will build a successful business in Hong Kong in the future.
I wonder if Mr. Huo would like, or dares, to join forces with me and take on this challenge?
Li Jiagang stated his purpose very frankly.
For intelligent people, there is absolutely no need to talk too much nonsense or bluff.
People aren't stupid. If they were so easily fooled, they wouldn't be Huo Jianning.
"Mr. Li is really... generous." Huo Jianning really didn't expect that Li Jiagang would come and lay his cards on the table right away, without even a hint of grand principles or any big promises.
In fact, Huo Jianning initially looked down on Lijiagang Company, but the talent agency independently pushed his information to various recruitment companies, so he had no choice but to apply to several companies.
Moreover, almost all of them were small companies, none of which were the companies that Huo Jianning had envisioned joining.
Li Jiagang's company is not even of a decent size yet, and its business is too singular, with assets of at most ten million. Although he has no work experience, he is still a highly educated overseas returnee.
Therefore, the recruitment process for Lijiagang Company was merely a perfunctory affair, involving only superficial interviews.
But he never expected that the company's boss would personally ask him to meet, and that he would do this right after meeting him. Huo Jianning was momentarily stunned.
"Mr. Huo, I understand your concerns. It's just that my company is too small and not within your employment options. But I can tell you with certainty that the company's situation is only temporary. Within three months, the company's size and assets will increase several times over, or even more."
"Within three years, the company will definitely go public, or it will become a listed company with controlling interest."
"If your abilities meet the requirements during this period, then I can say this clearly: the position of general manager is yours."
"If he fails to do so, Mr. Huo can leave or stay as he sees fit."
"Three months and three years are both time limits. If Huo Sheng fails to meet either one, he can still choose a path that suits him."
After saying that about Lijiagang, he didn't say anything more.
Saying too much will only go too far.
Some things are better left unsaid.
If Huo Jianning still doesn't want to join, then it can only be said that he and Huo Jianning are not meant to be.
He couldn't possibly promise him a high position or a salary far exceeding the industry average as soon as he joined the company. That would be unfair to the other employees and would be detrimental to the company's internal harmony. Even if he had never run a business, he understood what it meant to weigh the pros and cons.
Once he joins the company, his abilities become evident to all. Then, gradually promote him, give him raises, and delegate authority to him. No one will dare to say anything then.
Moreover, he wasn't just trying to fool Huo; his investment in Wharf Holdings stock must have been completed within three months, and a large sum of money would have been deposited into his account.
Meanwhile, the "fully automatic washing machine" will definitely be launched and sold within three months, and the factory area will be expanded to produce other products.
That's why he dared to make that guarantee.
Meanwhile, Huo Jianning...
At that moment, he truly began to waver.
Looking into Li Jiagang's firm and confident eyes, he could tell that the other party was not arrogant, but truly had great confidence in himself.
How could Huo Jianning not be moved and yearn for such a promise from a company boss to someone as inexperienced as him, even if he had returned from overseas?
However, he was tempted.
But he also had his own considerations.
"Mr. Li, to be honest, I believe you will definitely be a successful businessman in the future. After hearing what you said, I am also very tempted."
but…….
I'd like to know if your company has any future plans?
Or what is your vision for the future company?
Will the company's future development continue to focus solely on radios, or the production and processing of electrical appliances?
Huo Jianning asked all the questions he wanted to know in one breath.
Upon hearing this, Li Jiagang smiled slightly.
Huo Jianning was interested, which gave him even more confidence in winning him over.
"The company's initial plan is to focus on the research and development of new electrical appliances and their sales, establish its own electrical appliance brand, and become the largest electrical appliance and electronics manufacturer and supplier in Hong Kong."
"The company's future positioning..."
"Diversified operations are definitely a trend for a company's development. I understand the principle of not putting all your eggs in one basket. Establishing a diversified multinational group is the company's future positioning."
"While focusing on a single business allows for concentrated development, faster expansion, and market dominance, this must be based on having the necessary capabilities."
In light of point two above, even the strongest single-business operation carries far greater risks than diversification. In the future, I will use the Flagship Group as a foundation to spin off various industries for independent listing.
"Mr. Huo, this is the company's future plan, positioning, and single-track development arrangement."
"Slap slap slap!!!"
"It seems that Mr. Li is not just a rich second-generation heir who took over the family business, but a true shrewd businessman."
"Mr. Huo, you flatter me."
"From Mr. Li's long-term perspective, I would like to ask which industries in Hong Kong will perform better in the future, or which are the trends?"
"Hehe, Mr. Huo, you really overestimate me."
"But I have actually done some research on it."
When Li Jiagang heard him ask this question, he couldn't help but chuckle.
As someone whose soul transmigrated from the future, how could he not know the general trend of future development, and how could he not answer?
However, he should be more humble.
"Personally, I believe that real estate and finance will be the main drivers of economic development in Hong Kong for the next ten, twenty years or even longer."
"Of course, manufacturing and light industry will remain among Hong Kong's key industries in recent years."
"As Hong Kong's economy develops and its population grows, the retail, catering, and media and entertainment industries will also be included in the list of industries that can drive economic development."
"Slap slap slap!!!!"
After listening to Li Jiagang's analysis, Huo Jianning clapped his hands again and nodded repeatedly.
They talked for almost six hours straight.
If Li Jiagang hadn't had to rush to his uncle's house for his cousin's birthday banquet, he would have loved to stay and have dinner with Huo Jianning so they could have a deeper conversation.
