Chapter 153 Arrangements under Sensation
Knowing that he would cause a sensation in Hong Kong Island today, Cao Zhihua came to the office early in the morning and asked Du Xinru to deliver all today's newspapers to the office. After that, he invited Li Shengnan, Xie Wenjun, Lou Xiao'e, Xiaoyu, and Zhang Guohua to the office to read the newspapers together. Have a huddle.

After Du Xinru made a cup of Longjing tea for everyone, she also sat next to him and took the meeting minutes.

After Cao Zhihua saw that everyone had arrived, he held up a newspaper and said:
"I invite everyone to come over this morning, mainly because the press conference held by the Hong Kong government yesterday was very loud. I asked everyone to read today's newspapers together and then discuss how our company will respond next. Let's read today's newspapers first. The main reason is Look at the part about our company and let’s discuss it together later.”

After Cao Zhihua took a sip of tea, he first opened the Industrial and Commercial Daily and started reading.

Looking at the exaggerated front page headline of the Industrial and Commercial Daily, it reads:
Zhihua Group invested HK$16 billion in Hong Kong Island, and whether Mr. Cao Zhihua is the richest man in Hong Kong Island.

Cao Zhihua was so angry and his forehead hurt when he saw it. He just went over all the good investment projects and went straight to discuss his own net worth.

After quickly reading the content, Cao Zhihua dumped the Industrial and Commercial Daily and took a sip of tea to calm down his anger.

Lou Xiao'e looked at the newspaper in her hand and suddenly smiled. She looked up and found that everyone was looking at her. She raised the newspaper in her hand and said:

"The Economic Daily interviewed my tenants of Zhihua Real Estate and praised us as conscientious entrepreneurs."

Cao Zhihua curiously motioned to change newspapers with Lou Xiao'e and asked:

"The Economic Daily is a newspaper under my father's name. Let me see what it says."

Lou Xiao'e handed the newspaper to Cao Zhihua and said:
"The newspaper writes very well. It praises our company from a tenant's perspective. Take a look."

"it is good."

Cao Zhihua took the Economic Daily, and the front page headline read, Who is Mr. Cao Zhihua who invested HK$16 billion in Hong Kong Island?
The content is that he opened a clothing factory, made money, invested in real estate on Hong Kong Island, bought it, renovated it, and rented it out to the citizens of Hong Kong Island at a low price, which won unanimous favor from the citizens.

Then he praised Zhihua Group in various ways from the perspective of interviewing tenants. Through the consistent praise of all the tenants interviewed, he finally concluded that Cao Zhihua is a conscientious entrepreneur who loves Hong Kong and the people. He made money abroad, returned to Hong Kong to invest, and took care of the bottom citizens of Hong Kong Island. It has given all citizens who rent houses from Zhihua Real Estate a star-rated home.

When Cao Zhihua saw this Chunqiu style of writing, he laughed directly and asked for a star-rated home built by the richest man for the citizens. You deserve it.

Time passed slowly with everyone's various emotions.

After everyone had read today's newspaper, Cao Zhihua said:
"I've finished reading today's newspapers. Let's all share our thoughts. How about starting with Mr. Li?"

After Li Shengnan read all the newspapers, he said solemnly:
"Director Cao, after reading all the newspapers, the strongest feeling I have is that the Hong Kong government is trying to push us out as a benchmark. In the past, we only needed to do our own thing well, make money and continue to develop the company. Now We have been put on the fire, and the situation is not optimistic."

After hearing what Li Shengnan said, Cao Zhihua nodded and said without comment:

"Mr. Zhang, what do you think after reading this?"

After Zhang Guohua heard Cao Zhihua's order, he counted the numbers in his mind and said:

"Chairman, I counted, we have just read 21 newspapers, all of which have our Zhihua Group as the headline today.

Among them, 18 have the richest man in Hong Kong as their headline, and the content of 21 newspapers is basically a series of reports focusing on your company, business scope, overseas assets, personal assets, and personal worth.On the contrary, your investment projects in Hong Kong Island are basically mentioned in one sentence without describing them in detail.

So my personal feeling is that your current security strength may not be enough, and everyone around you needs to increase their security strength. "

Cao Zhihua nodded thoughtfully and said:

"Mr. Lou, please tell me your personal thoughts."

Lou Xiao'e was just taught by Cao Zhihua yesterday. Although she didn't understand it very clearly, she really had her own ideas now and said:

"Today, all the newspapers focused on reporting that our chairman is the richest man in Hong Kong Island, as well as his business operations, net worth, etc. It is obvious that there is a shadow of the Hong Kong government in this, and it is obvious that they want to promote us as the business leader of Hong Kong Island.

In the past, we all did our own thing behind closed doors, but now I think our main problem now is, if these colleagues in Hong Kong really come to us for help or investment, what attitude should we take to deal with it.

If all of us businessmen in Hong Kong don't take care of it, then our reputation in Hong Kong Island will be very bad. If we take care of everything, I think it will be thankless and it will also affect the development of our own company. "

Cao Zhihua looked at Lou Xiao'e in surprise. Lou Xiao'e was very surprised that Lou Xiao'e had made such great progress in one night. He took a sip of tea and said with satisfaction:

"Where's Xiaoyu?"

"Chairman, the reports in all the newspapers today are really exaggerated. The clothes we sell are indeed very popular these days.

As of yesterday, a total of 2052141 sets of suits have been sold. According to your instructions, half of the funds are transferred back to Hong Kong Island every day. The company has now transferred a total of US$1.026 million back to HSBC and Citibank, and another US$1.026 million is in local bank accounts in various countries. .

Among them, according to the company's regulations, the flagship store will be distributed by the company in the early stage, and the market development specialist company needs to give 10% as their dividend. "

Cao Zhihua interrupted Xiaoyu's speech dully and asked:

"Wait a minute, I remember I said at the time that marketing specialists should take 30%. Why did it become 10%?"

Xiaoyu shrank her neck and looked at Li Shengnan. Li Shengnan breathed out and said when Cao Zhihua asked about this matter:
“When I had a meeting with the marketing department at that time, everyone felt that the company invested money to renovate the flagship store, hired people to operate it, and the group distributed the goods. Everyone felt that the company’s 30% dividend for the market development specialist was too much, and only 10 %enough.

When the market development specialist develops franchisees in the local area and uses the franchisees' funds to purchase goods, and does not need the headquarters to distribute goods, each market will be funded and operated by itself, and then the goods will be uniformly purchased at 70% of the price, so that everyone is satisfied.

The document I handed you at that time contained clear terms. For the company's distribution part, the market development specialist would receive a commission of 10%. The market development specialist would pay 70% of the retail price for placing an order. "

After hearing what Li Shengnan said, how could Cao Zhihua not know that this matter was what Li Shengnan meant?Can anyone still think that they make too much money?
Then he became furious, slapped his hand on the table and shouted:
"Nonsense, are there any people like you who do things like this?"

Everyone sitting here was so frightened by Cao Zhihua's sudden anger that they did not dare to express their anger.

Although Li Shengnan's operation seemed to save costs for the company and make a lot of extra money for the company, he did not do so without his consent.
Li Shengnan dared to handle such a big thing privately, which made Cao Zhihua very shocked and angry. He felt that the company was out of control in his hands, so he shouted loudly:
"It's just nonsense, where did you put my face as the chairman?

Is it just farting if I say it out loud?
What do the employees below think of me?

Do you think I am a villain who goes back on my word?
If this continues, who will take what I, the chairman, say seriously?

This matter involves so many people and such great interests. Mr. Li, tell me, why didn't you explain the matter clearly to me in person and make the decision privately? "

After working with Cao Zhihua for so long, Li Shengnan has never seen Cao Zhihua get angry. He always looks gentle and gentle.

It was the first time today that I saw Cao Zhihua getting angry, and I was so frightened that I didn't dare to speak.

The atmosphere was very solemn now, and Cao Zhihua almost couldn't hold it back, saying, "If you can do it, do it, and if you can't, get out of here."

Fortunately, Cao Zhihua still had sense. After holding it back, he sat down on the sofa, breathing heavily and waiting for Li Shengnan.

Lou Xiao'e saw that the atmosphere at the scene was too tense, so she advised:

"Chairman, Mr. Li is also doing it for the development of the company and for the good of the company. Don't be angry. We are still discussing things."

When Cao Zhihua heard Lou Xiao'e's words, he became even more angry and said:
"For the good of the company, do we need to break the rules?
Is it okay to do whatever you want for the good of the company?

Is it for the good of the company that all the company's regulations are regarded as farts? "

When Li Shengnan saw Lou Xiao'e speaking for him, he was immediately slapped by Cao Zhihua. He closed his eyes and thought for a while, then plucked up the courage to speak:
"Director Cao, this matter is indeed my fault. I shouldn't have taken the initiative to modify your decision and let you go back on your word in front of the employees. I'm sorry, I let you down. Now I'm officially asking you to resign. I hope you won't do it again. Angry."

Li Shengnan proposed to resign, which suddenly silenced Cao Zhihua.

Cao Zhihua's anger quickly disappeared, his rationality quickly returned, and he calmly waved his hand to Li Shengnan and said:

"Mr. Li, please sit down first. I was too emotional just now, so I want to apologize to you first.

After all, the starting point of your decision-making is for the good of the company, but I, the chairman, ignore the interests of the company and get angry at everyone for the sake of personal face. It is indeed my fault.

As for resigning, don’t mention it again in the future. I still remember that when our company was just established and we met for the first time, you said you wanted to prove that women are no worse than men and can achieve a career through their own efforts.

At that time, I also recognized your ambition and ability very much and said that we can work together and achieve mutual success.

Now the company is on the right path and is developing more and more rapidly, and all of this is inseparable from Mr. Li, the general manager of the company, who has worked hard for the development of the company.

Now our company is going further and further on the road to success. Although we are still far from greatness, at this time it is even more important for us to work together to create brilliance and become a century-old enterprise.

So I sincerely apologize for my gaffe today, and promise to work hard to improve my self-cultivation today and not let my emotions affect my reason.I sincerely hope that Mr. Li can accept my apology and let us work together to create brilliance. "

Li Shengnan proposed to resign because he felt that he was indeed wrong. Such an important decision actually bypassed the chairman.

Moreover, Li Shengnan, who had never seen Cao Zhihua angry in more than a year of official work, was indeed frightened by Cao Zhihua's mood today, so he proposed to resign.

Seeing Cao Zhihua apologize to himself so sincerely, Li Shengnan's eyes became wet.

This company started from scratch, and Li Shengnan put all his efforts into it. Li Shengnan couldn't bear to leave, and Cao Zhihua's attitude was so sincere, so Li Shengnan nodded with red eyes and said:

"Director Cao, I am the one who should apologize, and I am very grateful for your retention. I have a very deep feeling for the company. Not only is it very pleasant to work with you, I also learn a lot every day.

Thank you very much for your tolerance. I am willing to stay and fight with you. "

When Cao Zhihua heard Li Shengnan's statement, he instantly relaxed and said happily to Li Shengnan:
"Mr. Li, just clear up the misunderstanding. Let's not get entangled in who is right and who is wrong. From now on, we will work hard together to build Zhihua Group into the truly No. [-] enterprise in Hong Kong Island. Only in this way can we be worthy of our efforts. , true to our original intention.”

Li Shengnan wiped his eyes, nodded firmly, and said:

"Okay, Director Cao, I will definitely not make such a mistake again in the future and work hard with you to build Zhihua Group into the number one enterprise in Hong Kong Island and a world-renowned group."

Cao Zhihua completely relieved the mood in his heart and said to Xiaoyu:

"Xiaoyu, continue."

After Xiaoyu came to her senses, she continued to open her notebook and said:
“In other words, with this money, when we pay wages this month and next month, we still need to pay the market development specialist a total of 2052 US dollars in sales dividends.

The actual working capital that clothing companies can use is US$1.846 million. This capital also needs to pay staff wages, purchase production materials, and taxes from various countries.

Including the real estate company and the club, the total liquidity is HK$1.45 million.

In addition to the HK$1.31 million in funds sent to the Hong Kong government to purchase film and television bases, TV station office buildings, and land in Central.

The funds we can use now are only more than 7.5 million Hong Kong paper working capital calculated from U.S. dollars to Hong Kong paper. However, the company's 6836 people's wages and material purchases, as well as the company's operating expenses, now require nearly 500 monthly expenses.

According to your instructions, the company's expansion needs to reserve one year's operating expenses as the company's safety line funds. In fact, the funds that can be used cannot support the simultaneous start of three projects.

So my suggestion is not to pay too much attention to the exaggerated reports in newspapers and make decisions based on the actual situation of the company. "

After hearing the latest financial situation reported by Xiaoyu, Cao Zhihua nodded knowingly and said:
"After listening to everyone's opinions, I summarized it briefly and let everyone discuss it together."

“First of all, after being reported by the media all over Hong Kong, we are now at the forefront of the storm and the focus of public opinion.

So now our Zhihua Group must be viewed under a magnifying glass by many people.

The most important thing is that the wealth exposed by our Zhihua Group this time is too great. I am afraid that someone will take desperate risks to our disadvantage.
Therefore, the top priority is the safety of our Zhihua Group executives and my family, so the expansion of the security team is the most urgent thing at the moment.

Since our security company has guns to take pictures, I will go directly to the Hong Kong Governor to handle the matter this time. Mr. Zhang will have to work hard for you this time for the expansion of the security company. "

When Zhang Guohua heard Cao Zhihua's words, he straightened his back and said resolutely:
"Chairman, please rest assured and promise to complete the task."

Cao Zhihua nodded, looked at Zhang Guohua, thought for a while, and said:

"The safety factor for me and my family is estimated to be very low now, and the chance of something happening to my personal bodyguards is relatively high, so I plan to improve their treatment.
From now on, I and my family’s personal bodyguard will receive a monthly salary of 1 yuan.
The bodyguard captain’s monthly salary is 2 yuan.
As the general manager of a security company, Mr. Zhang earns a monthly salary of 5 yuan.

As an instructor in a security company, Xu Zhijun earns a monthly salary of 3 yuan.

As for other security personnel, their salaries will remain unchanged for the time being.

From today on, the company will pay HK$50 as compensation to any security guard who sacrifices his life while protecting me, my family, my factory, or my company. "

When Zhang Guohua heard this treatment and compensation, he looked at Cao Zhihua in shock. Looking at Cao Zhihua's confirmation eyes, he hurriedly said:
"Chairman, it's too high. This salary is too high. Moreover, the salary difference between personal bodyguards and ordinary security guards is 10 times. All brothers will want to be personal bodyguards, so the security company will explode."

Cao Zhihua felt that he should be paid enough to sacrifice his life. After all, his life and that of his family were much more valuable than this, so he said:
"What are you talking about? Mr. Zhang, my good brother, please come up with a unified standard. There will be an assessment every six months. Those who are capable will be promoted, and those who are not will be demoted. Then everyone will have no objections, right?"
Or does it have to depend on the distance of the relationship? "

After all, his own life is at stake, so Cao Zhihua naturally hopes that his bodyguards will be as powerful as possible. What's the point of having a lot of connections to protect his own life?

When Zhang Guohua heard that Cao Zhihua even said what the relationship was far and near, he didn't say anything more. It seemed that this time the mule was really a horse, so he pulled it out for practice.

Finally, Cao Zhihua thought about it and decided that his personal bodyguard must be someone he could trust, so he said with double standards:
"In this way, if you keep Zhou Biao and Bald Qiang with me, you can say that they are designated by me and will not occupy everyone's quota.

Regarding the specific protection plan and the number of bodyguards, Mr. Zhang, please come up with a plan for me, including my family. I have a lot of female dependents. It is best to recruit more powerful female soldiers to take charge of this expansion. "

Zhang Guohua saw that Cao Zhihua was paying attention, so he asked:
"Except for the bodyguard captain, should the benefits of other security captains be increased?"

Cao Zhihua thought for a while and felt that it would be best for the security captain to come out and practice, so he said:

"Then we will also develop a unified assessment plan. There are now 10 security captains. The top three security captains in the assessment can enjoy a monthly salary of 3 and serve as alternate bodyguard captains. The benefits of the remaining security captains remain unchanged."

After Zhang Guohua took notes in his notebook, he expressed his position directly:
"Okay, Chairman, can I take a copy of these newspapers back later? After I go back and show them to all the security personnel, I will arrange work directly according to your instructions."

Cao Zhihua nodded and said:

"No problem, it's a small matter. Brother, it's a big deal if you help me take care of the security of our home." "Received, the security company will ensure the safety of the life and property of the chairman and your family."

After Cao Zhihua affirmed Zhang Guohua's statement, he continued:
"The second problem is that since the matter has been made so big by the Hong Kong government's idiots and we have no movement at all, it definitely won't work.

So I plan to break down the three projects, arrange them, and make some noise to let everyone know that we are serious about it and not just joking around to make people laugh. "

Cao Zhihua paused, saw everyone looking at him, took a sip of tea and said:

"First, I plan to remove the construction contracting of the TV station office building and release the news. We will propose construction indicators and material standards.

Let all construction companies on Hong Kong Island bring their own design plans to negotiate with our Zhihua Group for turnkey construction contracts.

Second, we sent design invitations to well-known architectural firms around the world to design the world's tallest building for us and provide a complete set of solutions.

Third, Mr. Li and Mr. Xie came up with the second phase plan of the industrial park as soon as possible. The three of us discussed and finalized it to speed up the construction.

Fourth, Zhihua Real Estate Company needs to recruit a group of experts or masters of Chinese ancient architecture.Our film and television base has temporarily planned six scenic spots for Qin, Han, Tang, Song, Ming and Republic of China.

Let these experts, masters and our design department prepare all the planning and design drawings of the previous life, and then decide when to start construction based on our financial situation. "

After listening to this, Li Shengnan raised questions and said:

"Director Cao, I have a few things I don't understand. First of all, why should we exclude the TV station office building project? We have our own real estate company and can be responsible for the construction ourselves.

Secondly, you just mentioned six scenic spots of Qin, Han, Tang, Song, Ming and Republic of China. Why are there no scenic spots of Qing Dynasty?You must know that there are many old and young people from the Qing Dynasty on Hong Kong Island. If the plan is announced, it may arouse their opinions.

The third thing is, are you sure that all four projects will be started at the same time?In this case, the company's financial pressure will be very high. If the capital chain is interrupted, the company will be in danger, so I don't recommend taking such a big risk. "

Cao Zhihua looked at Li Shengnan who asked the question, took a sip of tea, and replied pleasantly:

"This is what I think. The tallest building in Central and the film and television base will have design drawings first, and the actual construction can be started. Arrangements can be made based on the actual situation of the company. This does not need to be rushed, but now the momentum is building.

Secondly, our company's current fundamental and main source of income is our clothing factory, which is the production and sales of our suits. Therefore, at this stage, our company's most important focus still needs to be on the industrial park, which covers the expansion of production lines and personnel recruitment. , expand production, expand sales, and the most important thing is the place of production.

I have already placed an order for a production line like West Germany.The order this time is very large. We directly bought the entire production line in Building 2 of the Industrial Building. It is expected to be installed next week. After recruiting personnel and expanding production, we will no longer have any spare production plants. .

So now that the construction of the second phase of the industrial park is imminent, the real estate company's main focus must be on the construction of the industrial park and the design of the film and television base, the tallest building.

As for the construction of the TV station office building, to be honest, it is not a priority for our company.
In other words, the construction cost of just one office building is less than 300 million. Even if we built it ourselves, how much money would we save?There is no need to distract the company's development energy for such a small amount of money.
We only need to do a good job in supervision and inspection. We will pay if the standards we set are met, and we will not pay if we fail to meet them. The best solution is to spend time and energy on matters that we urgently need to develop.

And don’t you think that if we take out a piece of meat and let everyone grab it, it can not only improve the company’s reputation and popularity, but also divert everyone’s attention to us? Wouldn’t that be great? "

Cao Zhihua was very happy to see that both Li Shengnan and Xie Wenjun agreed with his opinion. After taking a sip of tea, he continued:

"As for the fact that there are no scenic spots from the Qing Dynasty in the construction of the film and television base, we have nothing to explain. You have to let me be willful about this matter. What I hate most is this braided barbaric dynasty. Since they are all dead, let's let it go He will die completely and will not be mentioned in the future. From now on, our TV station is not allowed to film any dramas about this dynasty. I will make it look good to anyone who dares to film it. What can this group of old people and young people do to me? What the hell, this group of people ."

Li Shengnan and others looked at the stunned Cao Zhihua dumbfounded, truly speechless.

However, Cao Zhihua said that he should be willful, and not building Qing Dynasty scenic spots is indeed what Cao Zhihua said, and it will not have much impact on Cao Zhihua and Zhihua Group.

So everyone wisely shut up and stopped talking about this topic.

Seeing that no one wanted to discuss this topic, Cao Zhihua continued:

“Third, now that we have been promoted by the Hong Kong government and become the richest man in Hong Kong Island, it is estimated that many Chinese businessmen will come to interview us in the future to build relationships, investment, and business.

Then we definitely can no longer play by ourselves behind closed doors as we did before. Otherwise, after this news gets out, we will have no friends in Hong Kong. This is not good.

So my idea is to set up an investment consulting department with Mr. Li, and all future visits will be received by Mr. Li first.
If the other party is here to promote investment, cooperation, or business, Mr. Li can go through the Investment Consulting Department.We conducted detailed due diligence on the other company, the boss’s personal abilities, cooperation matters, and business types, and then the two of us decided whether to invest or cooperate.

As for those who just come to visit, it’s up to you to decide whether I need to come out to receive them. From now on, we will follow this reception process. What do you think? "

Li Shengnan is a top student at Japan University. She learned how to do due diligence in school, so she knows it very well.

As for the reception process, Li Shengnan felt that it was not a big problem, but the treatment of the investment consulting department would be a problem, so he asked:

"Director Cao, I have no problem with the reception arrangements. It's just that the staff in the investment consulting department are not qualified by ordinary people. So, how do you decide on the treatment of this department?"

Cao Zhihua thought for a while and said:
"According to the current salary of white-collar workers in Central, it will be increased by 30%. Let's decide it like this. After you decide, show it to me and I will sign to confirm the star."

After hearing what Cao Zhihua said, Li Shengnan felt confident and said:

"Okay, Director Cao, I will arrange it as soon as possible."

Cao Zhihua thought for a while and then said to Li Shengnan:
"Mr. Li, I think our company also needs a media and public relations department, which is responsible for connecting with external media, publishing, shaping and maintaining our company's image. A department that speaks out to the outside world, especially about my story of starting from scratch, must be done well. The writing is released intentionally or unintentionally to create an inspirational entrepreneurial character who started from scratch with nothing. I hope Mr. Li can recruit candidates and establish it as soon as possible."

Under the current new situation, Li Shengnan also felt that such a department was missing to maintain the company's image, so he wrote it down, nodded and said:
"Okay, Director Cao, I will arrange it as soon as possible to ensure that Director Cao will become the most inspiring self-made tycoon in Hong Kong Island from now on."

Cao Zhihua nodded with satisfaction. She and Li Shengnan had such a tacit understanding that she knew what to do without having to explain it thoroughly, so she continued to give instructions to Xie Wenjun:
“Mr. These three pieces of information were released through the press conference, creating a stir.

However, the design invitation for the world's tallest building requires you to notify and invite all the world's well-known firms and designers, but don't be surprised if it is announced at the press conference. "

Xie Wenjun touched the sweat on his forehead and felt that the chairman could really see through people's hearts. How else would he know that he thought it would be over after the press conference was announced?So he quickly said:

"Chairman, please rest assured. I will make arrangements right away. I will definitely hold a press conference in the afternoon. World-renowned construction firms and well-known designers will send invitations."

Cao Zhihua nodded with satisfaction and said:

"Okay, things are basically arranged. Our team is a team with execution ability and a team with fighting ability. So everyone should go to their respective positions and get busy. Mr. Lou will stay for a while, and everyone else can leave the meeting."

"Okay, Chairman."

"Okay, Chairman, I will go and implement the work first."

"Okay, Chairman, I've taken down all these newspapers."

After watching everyone go out, Lou Xiao'e was curious why Cao Zhihua left her alone and said:

"Zhihua, is there anything wrong with you leaving me alone?"

Cao Zhihua pulled Lou Xiao'e over, put his hands around Lou Xiao'e's waist, sat down on his lap, buried his head on Lou Xiao'e's shoulder, smelled Lou Xiao'e's body fragrance, and said:

"Yes, Ezi, Li Shengnan suddenly resigned from my job just now, which shocked me.

The company was able to grow from nothing to Manman. Li Shengnan has paid a lot and has contributed to the company's development. So I plan to invite Li Shengnan to become a director of the clothing company and reward her with some shares. What do you think? "

Lou Xiao'e nestled in Cao Zhihua's arms, feeling sweet in her heart. When she heard Cao Zhihua's words, she had no unnecessary reaction and said:
"Zhihua, you can do whatever you want, Wodou supports you, but I suggest you give it to her as a reward at the end of the year, not now.

Because she just mentioned her resignation today, if you retain her and give her shares, it will make people feel that Li Shengnan is very powerful and the company's development cannot be separated from her. Even you need to give her shares to keep her. , the development of the company depends on her, I feel very bad like this. "

After hearing Lou Xiao'e's words, Cao Zhihua reacted immediately and kissed Lou Xiao'e's mouth. After a while, Cao Zhihua said to Lou Xiao'e's shy face:

"Ezi, fortunately, I have you as a good wife. You woke me up now. If I give her the shares at this time, I will probably drive her away.

For a good wife, it is most appropriate to reward her at the end of the year, but you can increase her salary first to express recognition of her long-term efforts. "

Lou Xiaoe asked curiously:

"How high do you plan to increase it?"

"What do you think of an annual salary of one million?"

Lou Xiao'e hesitated and said:

"Is it too high?"

Cao Zhihua shook his head and said:
"Senior talents naturally need to be treated as high-level talents. We cannot rely solely on feelings to maintain high-level talents. Raising her treatment to a certain level will also prevent other companies from coming to poach people and reduce the risk of her changing jobs, right? "

Lou Xiao'e frowned and thought for a while, then said:
"That's okay. After all, Li Shengnan's efforts and value created deserve this treatment."

Cao Zhihua happily kissed Lou Xiao'e, picked up the phone with one hand and called the Hong Kong Governor's office.

"Hello, this is the Governor's Office. Who are you?"

"Hello, this is Cao Zhihua from Zhihua Group. Could you please pick up the phone, Governor Hong Kong?"

When the Governor heard that it was Cao Zhihua, he took the phone from his secretary very curiously and asked:
"Hello, Mr. Cao, the weather is very good today. Do you have any good news when you call me?"

"Yes, Mr. Governor, our Zhihua Group will hold a press conference in the afternoon. Our Zhihua Group plans to contract out the construction of the TV station office building, and will invite all companies in Hong Kong Island to bring design drawings to negotiate contract contracts.

The press conference will also formally send invitations to all well-known architectural firms around the world to help Zhihua Group design the world's tallest building. After the design drawings are completed, we will start construction. "

"Oh dear, this is really good news. Mr. Cao moved very quickly and I am very satisfied. So, is there anything Mr. Cao needs the Hong Kong government to solve?"

"Yes, Mr. Governor, today's newspapers in Hong Kong have dug me up. Now I am personally very worried that someone will take risks that will be detrimental to me and my family. So I hope that the Governor can take my security company. The quota can be expanded to 500 people, which can also act as a deterrent to the outside world and prevent people from taking risks to attack me and my family."

"The security company needs manpower, you can just recruit directly. This is a private company, and our Hong Kong government will not impose any restrictions."

"Hi, Mr. Governor, the main problem is gun licenses. Once someone takes the risk, his bare hands will definitely not be able to protect me and my family. So I hope Mr. Governor can provide 500 gun licenses for my security company."

When the Governor of Hong Kong heard what Cao Zhihua said, he did not immediately comment and thought deeply.

First of all, Cao Zhihua's background is still very clean. His father-in-law is a big capitalist in Forty-Nine City. Not long after liberation, all his properties were handed over. After he could no longer stay in China, he brought his family property and his whole family to Hong Kong for development.

Cao Zhihua came here with his father-in-law, and Lou Bancheng's first pot of gold for Cao Zhihua's business was as high as 6000 million Hong Kong paper. This is the basis for Cao Zhihua's success.

As for the businesses he did, the number of women in Cao Zhihua's family, and the luxurious life they lived, the Hong Kong Governor knew everything.

For someone as luxurious and corrupt as Cao Zhihua, who controls so many social resources and assets, the Hong Kong Governor doesn't even think that Cao Zhihua has any connection with the country, and it is probably too late to hide from the people over there.

That's why these white-skinned people in the Hong Kong government will take this opportunity to build momentum for Cao Zhihua. It is reasonable for Cao Zhihua to ask for help now.

Because everyone now knows how rich Cao Zhihua is, it is really inevitable that some people will take risks. The Hong Kong Governor is hesitant only whether 500 people is too many.

I thought about it again and realized that a rich man like Cao Zhihua enjoys the best life in the world and enjoys the glory and wealth. It is not a big problem if he has more bodyguards. Based on the Hong Kong Governor's understanding of the Chinese, this kind of person is most afraid of death. , will not rebel or anything.After thinking for a long time, the Governor said:
"Mr. Cao, the Hong Kong government is aware of your troubles. Serving taxpayers and investors on Hong Kong Island is the responsibility of our Hong Kong Island government. I will explain the situation to the Commissioner of Police later. You can make arrangements this afternoon. All you have to do is go to the police station and go through the formalities. Are there any other problems?"

Cao Zhihua was very excited when he heard what the Hong Kong Governor said, so he said very understandingly:
"Yes, another problem I have is that I don't have any idea about the contractor of the TV station office building. You know our family has not been in Hong Kong for a long time, so we are not very familiar with the construction companies on Hong Kong Island, so I want to ask the Hong Kong Governor which one. The construction company is relatively strong, so I can make a decision based on your suggestions."

The Hong Kong Governor immediately felt that Cao Zhihua was a sensible person, but the Hong Kong Governor's reserve made him say:
"Mr. Cao, your question has stumped me. What do you think, if I don't wait until I inquire first and then give you a reasonable suggestion?"

"Great, thank you, Mr. Governor. I will listen to your suggestions at any time."

"Haha, okay, I'll contact you after I've made inquiries."

Cao Zhihua said sensibly:

"Thank you so much, Mr. Governor, I will not bother you today to cause you any trouble."

"Haha, no trouble, shall we meet again?"

"Mr. Hong Kong Island, goodbye."

Lou Xiao'e stared at Cao Zhihua with her beautiful eyes and hung up the phone.said:
"Is this how the issue of expanding gun licenses is settled?"

Cao Zhihua said happily:
"Well, it's done. After all, if you want us to go on stage and play forward, you have to give us some benefits. If you don't give us anything, it's not a waste of time. That definitely won't work, haha."

Lou Xiao'e was happy for a while, then said distressedly:

"Zhihua, do I have to be followed by many bodyguards when I go out from now on?"

"Well, yes, otherwise I wouldn't dare let you go out. It's too unsafe."

"Oh, I won't have any freedom at all from now on. It's so uncomfortable."

"This is the price of having wealth. There are gains and losses. After all, we enjoy blessings that 90% of the people in the world cannot enjoy, so losing part of our freedom is not something we cannot accept."

"Well, Zhihua, what you said makes sense, but I still miss my old life in Sijiu City. At that time, I had a free and carefree life. All I had to do was think about you every day and my heart would be filled. It’s full, and although life is much better now than in Sijiu City, it’s inconvenient to go wherever you want to go.”

Cao Zhihua touched Lou Xiao'e's head and said with emotion:

"At least we can be together every day, and life with bodyguards following us every day will be fine once you get used to it, isn't it?"

"That's probably true. This is all we can do now, alas~"
