Chapter 166 (1/2)
Shen Bi and Bao Zixuan came to the position they had already set, and several adjacent seats nearby had been cleared. I didn't choose a room because Shen Bi wanted to show an attitude so that everyone who came to the hotel could see that HSBC was not afraid of problems. Once something goes wrong, we will definitely solve the problem at the first time. The customer must be satisfied and HSBC will be responsible for everything.
Michael Kadoorie poured a cup of tea for the two men and said to them“ If you have any questions, you can call me at any time. Peninsula Hotel is always at your service. ”
At this time, Shen Bi thought that it was the successor of the enterprise who was serving them. Why should he introduce it. So he said, ”brother Bao, you still have a big face. This is the heir of this hotel, Mr. Michael Kadoorie. I've been here many times, but I've never been treated like this! ”
Baozixuan's brain is rapidly recalling some data of the Kadoorie family. The Kadoorie family is Jewish. This family has a very high position among the Jews. After all, they are not only rich, but also rescued many compatriots during the war.
The arrival of Jews in Hong Kong can be traced back to the ”Opium War” in the 1840s. Due to the Jewish talent in language and business intelligence, they have made outstanding achievements in both the mainland and Xiangjiang. In the 1880s, the Kadoorie family used the Xiangjiang River as a springboard to develop in Shanghai, which was not yet prosperous at that time. After making a lot of profits from tea and ceramics, he bought a lot of land. Those lands later appreciated significantly, so that profits and wealth increased in multiples.
On the eve of World War II, a large number of Jewish refugees from central Europe poured into China. Kadoorie joined hands with other prominent Iraqi families to provide housing and needs for Jewish compatriots in Shanghai, helping up to 30000 refugees.
On the eve of the Japanese occupation of the Xiangjiang River, in order to prevent the Chinese power facilities from falling into the hands of the RB people, Roland personally presided over the bombing of the power plant, and then retreated into the rear of China. Elijah Kadoorie died during the war. After the war, Roland and and Hollis brothers returned to Hong Kong with the same group of old subordinates to rebuild CLP and revitalize the decaying enterprise kingdom.
In the early 1950s, the situation in China changed dramatically. A large amount of funds gathered in Xiangjiang and a large number of labor force went south. Xiangjiang continued to move towards industrialization, which urgently needed a strong supply of energy. Kadoorie meets the needs in this regard and indirectly assists Xiangjiang in its continuous and rapid development. In the 1980s, Xiangjiang became a world financial center and was also involved in the 1997 crisis. However, at the same time, CLP completed the castle peak power plant with a power generation capacity of 4.35 billion watts, and immediately invested in the construction of Daya Bay nuclear power plant and Lantau diversion power plant. All these actions show that they have cast a vote of confidence in the future of Xiangjiang and Huaxia after 1997!
Now Michael Kadoorie is only 38 years old, which is a golden period for the rise of men's career. And unlike other foreigners, this is not English. The most important thing is that they can't resist the return. They are families that can spend time communicating and cooperating.
Baozixuan stood up, stretched out his hand and said in Hebrew, ”Hello, Mr. Kadoorie. Nice to meet you. Let's talk about it sometime. ”
Bao Zixuan learned Hebrew from Phil Hawkins. He knew that he would inevitably deal with Jewish businessmen in the future. Many things are better prepared in advance. At this time, it's just to make Shen Bi uneasy, just to make him unable to understand.
Michael Kadoorie also stretched out his hand and replied, ”Hello, Bao Sheng. You are always welcome to the peninsula hotel. You can call me whenever you have time. ”
After they spoke a few words in Hebrew, Michael Kadoorie left. And more recognized the genius of baozixuan. Hebrew is a difficult language to learn.
In fact, baozixuan doesn't know what's going on. Now his mind has a good memory. And the language talent is amazing, which may be the benefit of crossing.
Shen Bi didn't expect that baozixuan could speak Hebrew at this time. It seems that he still has too little information about this young man. Now it seems more troublesome. The better baozixuan performs, the higher the cost of solving the problem. If it is not resolved satisfactorily this time, it will be very unfavorable to HSBC's overseas expansion. Due to the injury of baozixuan, HSBC has suffered a serious crisis of trust overseas.
