Chapter 362: Hongkong Electric Company

   South Horizons, southeast of Hong Kong Island, is about three kilometers away from Lamma Island further southeast. This is where the Hong Kong Electric Company is located. Of course, the power plant was built on Lamma Island further southeast. Standing on South Horizons Plaza is the headquarters building and the multi-storey car park building.

   The scenery here is pleasant, the company building is surrounded by a lush green area, and the outer circle is blue water. No one doubts that the houses built here will soon be demolished and converted into high-quality residential buildings with high floors. It's just that it is not the time yet.

   It was early in the morning at 8 o'clock in the morning. This was one of the busiest times of the day. A large number of office workers took the subway and buses to the company, and the lanes were full of various private cars. Close to the company, the rent will be high, and far away from the company, the transportation will be inconvenient. How many white-collar employees suffer from this kind of hardship and fatigue every day, but how many open-air workers are envious of this.

   But this is completely different for the Hongkong Electric Company.

Although the residential buildings around    were built decades ago, looking back in history, they will certainly not be the rival of this company founded in 1889. It was originally located at the southernmost point of Hong Kong. If a large number of employees travel between the New Territories of Kowloon and the local area every day, and traverse the entire city every day, how can the employees stand it? Therefore, this residential building has long been the property of the company, and happy employees have comfortable dormitories to live in. The cohesion of the company is not generally strong.

   But not everyone lives near South Horizons Plaza. Just when it was time to go to work, a low-key, luxurious and connotative black old Rolls-Royce extension car drove slowly to the entrance of the parking lot, and then stopped steadily.

   A handsome young man opened the back door and walked out, then turned around: "Alice, please..."

   Waiting for his voice to fall, the door on the other side was already open, but it was not just a black-haired girl in formal clothes who got off the bus, but also an intellectual girl with blond hair, her mother Sophie.

   "No need to fight, little plum~" Alice cheerfully waved to the youth: "Introducing the company is the business, let's get started."

   did not feel any dissatisfaction with his title of "little plum", Li Zeju politely closed the car door: "Then please come with me into the company, I believe Mr. Wengerman is ready."

   One of the owners behind HSBC in Hong Kong, the eldest son of the Li Ka-shing family, Li Zeju, invited the mother and daughter into the company's door. In a century-old company, the building is naturally a typical British style, which makes Alice really feel familiar with it. After traveling like this, after taking the elevator to the top floor, Li Zeju introduced the two to a middle-aged gentleman with a white beard.

"This is the general manager of the Hong Kong Electric Company, Mr. Wengerman." Standing on the soft red carpet, Li Zeju said respectfully: "This is the honorary chairman of Cisco, Miss Alice-Wang, and her mother. , Ms. Sophie."

   "Hello, Mr. Wengerman." Alice stepped forward and stretched out her hand.

"Ah, it's better to see." He is at least one head taller than Alice, and the cross-section is more than twice hers. Mr. Weinberg, who is more like a polar bear than an English gentleman, bows politely. I lowered my waist and gave Alice a kiss: "Girls at Eton College, you are the first one I have met for so many years."

   "My honor, sir." With a tic-tac-toe smile on her forehead, Alice quietly pushed her mother to the front, and quickly wiped her back on her clothes: "This is my mother..."

   "oh, my, god." However, Sophie's behavior was beyond Alice's expectations. Someone swears that it is definitely the first time for her and her mother to come to Hong Kong, and Sophie only went to the UK once during the certificate test. But now, she looked at Mr. Wengerman in great surprise, with an incredible feeling.

   "Konstantin Weingmann?" She exclaimed, "Are you not working at Standard Chartered Bank?"

  Alice: "...Hi?"

While someone was stunned, Wengerman also had a look of surprise. First, he swept down Sophie thoughtfully, and then suddenly he clapped his hands hard and said: "Sophie! Sophie O'Brien! God, is it really yours? You haven't grown old at all, the original you..."

   "Stop-stop-stop-stop-stop-stop!" Alice really couldn't calm down: "You two knew each other before?"

"Yes," Sophie nodded, looking at Mr. Wengerman in surprise: "When I took the British Chartered Certified Accountant exam, he was sitting next to him. After the exam, we went to a fast food restaurant on the street. Pause! Constantine! Oh my god, how many years have we not seen each other?"

   "Of course it has been more than ten years!" Mr. Wengerman was a little bit confused about who to face. Look at Li Zeju, the young man in the soy sauce, who is the son of the chairman of the company; look at the beautiful intellectual girl in front of him, the beauty he met more than ten years ago; so in the end, he came back to his senses and naturally looked at him. Concentrated on Alice who looked like an enemy.

   "Alice, Sophie, is Alice your daughter?"

   Sophie reached out and put her hand on Alice's shoulder: "Yes, I settled in Los Angeles not long after I finished the exam. You know, I used to..."

"Stop, stop, please stop me, please." Alice did not intend to let them continue to talk, and stood directly in front of Mr. Wengerman to block him: "Sir, this is my mother, my father. My good wife, my younger sister’s mother, my younger brother’s... Mommy. Ok, the introduction is over, so can we go on business?"

Excitement is indeed only a momentary thing. Wengerman immediately took two steps backwards, apologizing and said: "I'm sorry, Miss Wang, it may cause your misunderstanding. Please don't worry, I'm just right to see the same person again. Candidates are surprised, of course this will not delay business. Come on, Victor, sit down."

   called the name of Li Zeju, a Canadian citizen who had studied at Stanford University. As soon as the business started, the previous greetings were naturally left behind. Everyone took their seats in the reception area, and a secretary with no sense of presence on the front feet immediately stepped forward to pour black tea for everyone.

   But after taking her seat, Alice didn't say anything immediately, but stared suspiciously at the white-bearded man. Near the age of fifty, ten years longer than Sophie will make him extraordinarily "masculine." Such a guy suddenly came close to him in all kinds of surprises after seeing his mother, but it was definitely not a likable thing.

   Sophie didn't say anything right away, but her daughter was sitting next to her. How could she not notice Alice's dislike of Wengerman? Sophie herself understands this emotion. Just imagine, if she was hanging out with her mother, suddenly a man appeared on the street, all kinds of self-professionals and her mother almost...

"Wingeman, you must be surprised too." Seeing the cold air around the coffee table, Li Zeju immediately interrupted: "Alice, who was originally developing her career in Silicon Valley, suddenly chose to invest heavily in Hong Kong. A few days ago, She directly bought the Peninsula Hotel in Tsim Sha Tsui, which shocked our real estate industry."

"Yes, yes, I also read the statement in the newspaper," the topic jumped up, and Wengerman said: "And now, Victor, you actually informed me that Alice intends to invest in our port. Deng Group, this is not even a small handwriting. Alice, please allow me to ask, can you really put out so much money?"

The polite question was exchanged with Alice’s affirmative answer: "Don’t worry, Wengerman, my Cisco company is listed somehow, and Microsoft’s development level is changing with each passing day. Although the scale of Hongkong Electric is large. , But it’s not difficult if it’s just a shareholding. And I believe that you also need Cisco products very much now, right?"

The previous speech was not beyond the expectations of those present. Now that the meeting at this moment has taken place~www.readwn.com~ Whether it is Li Zeju, one of the shareholders, or Wengerman, the general manager of Hongkong Electric, of course they are right. Alice has a full understanding of the current career situation. So after skimming over the overtly familiar lines, their energy was also attracted by the second half of the sentence.

   "I know Cisco products, but what does it have to do with Hongkong Electric?"

Wengerman did not look at Sophie in an attempt to play an unexplained emotional card. Instead, he stared at Alice’s azure blue eyes. With her natural advantage of nearly fifty years old, he wanted to see what was in the girl’s heart. What the **** are you making.

   However, Alice was destined to disappoint him. Those big blue eyes are like a lake, and they are as deep as Baikal, so that he, who can be a girl’s father and the helm of a large international company, can’t see anything at all. Inner clues.

"Of course it is the optimization of the power plant management system." Alice said lightly: "As the first city in Asia with electricity supply, as a British power plant company established at the end of the last century, you were back in 1968. , A fully computerized power plant was built in Ap Lei Chau and used oil-fired power generation. It was finally completed a few years ago. However, I believe that a set of information management system that was planned so early and completed so early will definitely not be changed. A well-developed network system to assist, right?"

"This is a very critical thing, especially I am very experienced in developing operating systems." Knowing that Mr. Weingerman has already moved, Alice smiled with confidence: "After all, no one wants to break Hong Kong. The lamp has the reputation of being the safest use of electricity in the world, isn't it?" (To be continued.)
