斬首式挖角玩謝花旗

大家看國際新聞,相信會看到斬首式戰略,即是俗語所謂的擒賊先擒王。在戰爭上,怎樣運用斬首式戰略,可以去請教美軍,皆因連秘密得很的地牢內也能找到薩達姆,精彩過做戲。

不過,在中環出沒的金融圈內人,若果能夠親身領略到斬首式挖角的話,相信定必感到相當驚訝兼不知所措。話說德意志銀行計劃在亞太區大展拳腳,頻頻向花旗銀行中人大送秋波。至於花旗銀行整個ibank(Investment banking,投資銀行)部門的頂頭老闆亦被德意志銀行挖走。最近拉維·拉殊(RaviRaju)便出任德意志銀行亞太區私人投資管理業務主管,而他之前效力花旗集團全球理財部,擔任董事總經理和亞太及中東地區投資主管,負責投資策略及業務策略等,在花旗工作長達16年。這變動的結局就是令老東家陷入不明朗境況,很多投資銀行或私人銀行部門的中高層主管,在頂頭老闆號召下,亦跟隨走人,另謀發展。

最大問題是,不少花旗銀行員工並非用花旗銀行寶號聘請回來的,與傳統聘請方式有點不同,即使高到乜乜副總裁的級數,都是以職業介紹所或獵頭公司名義聘請,由這些公司「委派」進入花旗來工作。禤中怡曾幾何時透過職業介紹所做兼職,連工作的公司名稱也記不起,只知最後是職業介紹所出糧,當然級數不能相提並論。

美資銀行當初想到利用這種聘用方式,主要是從公司經營角度出發,因為公司架構變動時,可以方便裁員炒人,做神不知,鬼不覺,但估不到今日勞方要即時走人,亦易過借火。其實,在金融界工作,大家都知道那份月薪實在濕濕碎,賓架的主要賺錢來源當然是花紅同佣金收入,拿取一至三個月糧作分手費話咁易。結果現在搞到日日中午都有farewell午餐,皆因面對如此兵慌馬亂的局面,你走我也走。

公司怎樣處理這種悲壯場面呢?惟有從倫敦、東京同新加坡緊急調人來香港坐鎮協助處理業務,至於那些地區的人手又是否足夠就真的不得而知,只知今次花旗銀行真是被德意志銀行的挖角大計弄得一頭煙。

不過,故事還有下文,現時花旗銀行一眾高層要安撫那些比較低級員工的情緒,隨時可能要向佢哋大加人工,點解?因較低級員工掌握公司電腦同交易系統運作,面對如此形勢,如果連這群基層員工也離開公司,其他部門運作如何是好,例如證券業務的買賣盤房怎樣運作下去呢?莫非由那些由海外調來香港救急的高層大佬,親身走上前線,兼做接電話、輸入電腦資料、用Bloomberg查股價等工作嗎?他們無做這些濕碎功夫起碼有十幾年,若果做盤做錯晒,仲唔俾班尊貴客戶投訴嗎?

花旗的故事教訓大家,採用太容易裁員的員工合約,當大市一好,對手來個斬首式挖角就成間公司運作亂到失控。所謂商場如戰場,中環更加是金融殺戮戰場,這次花園道斬首記,大家可以見到是多麼的慘烈。

TCI新目標
領匯(823)受盡商戶批評,不肯續租商場鋪位,其實領匯管理層背後亦有很大壓力,就是來自股東,正正由於變成上市公司,不像以往般將商場視為社區設施配套,可以得過且過,今日自然要為投資者賣力,當中最積極的非那個著名對沖基金,英國兒童基金TCI(The Children’s Investment Fund)莫屬,但近來領匯管理層或可鬆一口氣,因TCI已將目標轉移至海外的投資。
進軍日本的TCI,已於周一向當地最大電力分銷商Electric Power Development Co.(稱作 J-Power)提出要求,希望將現時末期派息金額大幅提高2.3倍,由每股30日圓大增至100日圓,確實是獅子開大口,外電更形容是首間基金尋求影響上市公司的決定。

雖然TCI貴為大股東,J-Power的管理層無理由不考慮對方的意見,更話會研究喎!但只要看看TCI最近才增持J-Power股權後,亦只不過有9.9%股權,便成為單一最大股東,就知道以小控大的道理,加上外資持股比重達50%,同聲同氣自然更有威力。

以股權計,估計TCI手持約1,640萬股J-Power股份,若果如願以償,便可收股息達16.4億日圓(約1.1億港元),更可望財息兼收,即享受股價升值(J-Power股價曾於周一見歷史新高)和現金回報(股息收入也)。TCI較早前將火頭燒向荷蘭金融集團ABN Amro埋手,儘管只持1%股權,但疾呼估值嚴重偏低,建議將公司「拆骨」或購併業務,簡直是另一個股壇壞孩子。

其實,TCI投資不少香港上市公司,如上周便增持保華集團(498)至7.96%股權,於1月中披露仍持有浙江滬杭甬(576)約4.14%股權等,而今日公布業績的華人置業(127)亦有約7.86%股權,且看大劉會否亦增加派息以滿足TCI。

Hello everyone!
I would like to burn a theme at this forum. There is such a nicey, called HYIP, or High Yield Investment Program. It reminds of ponzy-like structure, but in rare cases one may happen to meet a company that really pays up to 2% daily not on invested money, but from real profits.

For quite a long time, I earn money with the help of these programs.
I'm with no money problems now, but there are heights that must be conquered . I get now up to 2G a day , and I started with funny 500 bucks.
Right now, I'm very close at catching at last a guaranteed variant to make a sharp rise . Turn to my blog to get additional info.
