Chapter 120 Inspecting Hutchison Soda Company!
Hong Kong.
Saigon.
Hutchison Soda Factory.
Yang Ming, Mai Lisi, Lin Xiuzhi, Tang Shilian and others left the TV building in Kowloon Tong and drove directly to the Hutchison Soda Factory in Saigon.
Hutchison Soda.
It was originally a subsidiary of Hutchison Whampoa.
Hutchison actually operates Hutchison Soda, beer, and sells other brands of beverages on behalf of others. However, Hutchison Soda, like most of Hutchison International's subsidiary brands, has been losing money for years.
Some time ago, after Yang Ming asked Mai Lisi to go to Siam to acquire Xu Shubiao's Red Bull ownership, the Hutchison Soda brand and related industries were privatized from Hutchison International at a price of 1 Hong Kong dollar.
At this time, the Hutchison Soda Factory and related industries are all subsidiaries of the Empire Group.
When Yang Ming and others drove to Saigon.
It must be said that Saigon looks even more desolate than Kowloon Tong.
However, the scenery here is particularly good.
Because this is the place where Hong Kong tap water is stored, Hutchison Soda originally set up a factory here, and that was also because it was close to the water source.
"Boss, the scenery here is really nice."
Through the car window, you can see the scenery on both sides of the road.
Tang Shilian, Lin Xiuzhi, Mai Lisi and others all think the scenery here is nice.
"It's really nice."
This place is too far from Hong Kong Island or even Kowloon.
When Chen Zhenhua drove to the outside of the Hutchison Soda Factory.
Rolls-Royce and other luxury cars stopped, and many people came out to greet them.
One hour ago.
Melvin, the general manager of Hutchison Soda Company, suddenly received a call from Mai Lisi, the general manager of Empire Group, saying that Mr. Yang, the chairman of Empire Group, would come to inspect Hutchison Soda in person, and asked Melvin and others to be prepared.
Who is Mr. Yang of Empire Group?
Melvin knows very well.
This Mr. Yang is now the most powerful Chinese businessman in Hong Kong.
First, he swallowed up Wharf and Hutchison Whampoa, and even invested in Huifeng Bank.
When Hutchison Whampoa CEO Werley called him to meet at Hutchison House, Melvin had already learned that Hutchison Soda was privatized by Empire Group and became a subsidiary of Empire Group.
At that time, Melvin didn't know whether it was a good thing or a bad thing.
According to Werley, Hutchison Soda had been losing money for many years, and its parent company Hutchison Whampoa was preparing to sell Hutchison Soda or go bankrupt directly during the reform process.
Now, Hutchison Soda Company has been taken over by Empire Group, which is certainly a good thing for Melvin.
What Melvin didn't expect was that Empire Group not only privatized Hutchison Soda, but also bought all the ownership of a drink called Red Bull in Siam at a high price, and began to mass produce it in Hutchison Soda Factory.
Red Bull drinks, he has been tasting them these days, and found that the more he drinks this drink, the more he wants to drink it, and the more he drinks, the more energetic he becomes. Maybe after it goes on the market, it will really have a large market.
When Melvin immediately convened a meeting to notify the executives of Hutchison Soda Company to hold a meeting and announced that their big boss Mr. Yang and Empire Group General Manager Myles were coming to inspect, they began to greet them outside the gate of Hutchison Soda Company.
When he saw a Rolls-Royce stop and many Bentleys stopped behind, Melvin knew that Mr. Yang and Mr. Myles were coming.
Melvin, who was a little nervous, calmed himself down.
When the door of the Rolls-Royce opened.
Yang Ming sat on the wheelchair.
Yang Ming had already seen a three-story office building.
The billboard erected outside the office building read.
Hutchison Soda Company.
A dozen white men were standing there looking around.
When Myles, Tang Shilian, Lin Xiuzhi and others accompanied Yang Ming over, Melvin and others finally reacted.
"Hello, Mr. Yang, I am Melvin, the general manager of Hutchison Soda."
Yang Ming nodded and glanced at Melvin.
Many people noticed that Yang Ming seemed a little dissatisfied with Melvin.
Melvin was a little scared when he saw the boss's attitude. He seemed very enthusiastic.
When introducing the current dozen white executives of Hutchison Soda to Yang Ming and Mai Lisi, these white executives seemed very respectful and enthusiastic to Yang Ming and Mai Lisi.
They used to just muddle through at Hutchison Soda.
Hutchison Soda does not require profits at all. When Qi Dezun entered various industries, he only regarded Hutchison Soda as a part.
These white executives have no one in the parent company Hutchison International to manage, and the ordinary employees below dare not manage them.
There is no profit requirement and no pressure.
One day at a time!
The Hutchison Soda Company, which has hundreds of formal employees, has not made a profit for many consecutive years. Instead, it needs financial blood replenishment from the parent company every year to survive.
Yang Ming is very clear about the nature of these white people, and Mai Lisi is also very clear.
Lin Xiuzhi pushed Yang Ming inside.
Yang Ming found that the Hutchison Soda Company is actually quite large.
Let's not talk about whether the Hutchison Soda brand is still profitable?
This piece of land alone will probably be very valuable in 20 or 30 years.
And Hutchison Soda Company.
In addition to the three floors of office area.
There is also a large soda factory nearby.
In the past, it produced soda water, beer, soda and other beverages.
Now all the production lines have started to produce Red Bull.
As soon as Yang Ming entered, he smelled the smell of "Red Bull".
Melvin led the way in front. Because he had never been with Yang Ming, he didn't know what kind of person this big boss was.
"Melvin, where are those Red Bull beverage researchers from Siam arranged to live?"
"Mr. Yang, those people are all arranged to live in our Hutchison Soda workers' dormitory."
After Yang Ming acquired the ownership of Red Bull, this batch of Red Bull researchers only had dozens of people, but with their families, there were more than a hundred people.
In addition, many people there also wanted to live in Hong Kong. It was a rare opportunity to legally immigrate to Hong Kong, and many Red Bull researchers brought their families to Hong Kong for development.
For Yang Ming, these researchers are also part of Red Bull and are very important for the future research of Red Bull.
"Let's go see them first."
Under Melvin's guidance.
Came to the dormitory building near the Hutchison Soda Factory.
These dormitory buildings should have been built in the 1960s and seemed to have a history of more than ten years.
At first glance, there were four buildings that looked only a few stories high, and each building had a long corridor.
Before that.
Those regular employees of Hutchison Soda Factory, if they don't live in their own homes, basically live in the dormitory building.
When Melvin took Yang Ming to one of the dormitory buildings.
Yang Ming saw many men, women, children, and even the elderly with dark skin.
The way those men, women, and children dress is a little different from the people in Hong Kong.
These people wear clothes by directly wrapping their upper and lower bodies with a piece of cloth, and wearing slippers directly on their feet.
Siam, and even the Nanyang area, has a tropical climate all year round, which is hot and humid. Their dress has a lot to do with the environment there.
Although Hong Kong has a subtropical climate, it is much better than Siam.
"Boss, these are the family members of the researchers from Siam. Their family members are already working in the laboratory."
