208, white-hot(1/3)
Chu Huan walked out of the corridor and rubbed his brow.
Finally, I hid my sister-in-law Chu Duanqing. Just now, Chu Duanqing asked Chu Huan about the news in the newspaper at home, just because she was worried about Chu Huan's situation.
In the end, Chu Huan gave his own explanation. It was true that he was playing money, and it was true that he was losing money. But now he has changed his mind and decided to quit his spinach addiction!
As for the company's affairs, although it has lost some liquidity, it has not damaged its fundamentals. As long as there are no accidents in the future, the company will be fine.
Finally, it comes to Cao Yunshang's matter. Chu Huan said that the two are just having a cold war now, but it will not really hurt the feelings of both parties. When this period of time passes, everyone will calm down and everything will be fine.
"Master Huan, where are we going?"
Lin Feng saw Chu Huan coming out and asked.
"Let's go to Tseung Kwan O. I guess there will be no stop at the apartment at this time!"
When Chu Huan returned to the villa in Tseung Kwan O, Cao Yunshang had already left, and Chu Huan was the only one in the huge house. Looking at the empty room, Chu Huan was really bored.
But there is no way, this is the situation now.
“It’s been just fine these past few days!”
Chu Huan could only comfort herself in this way.
After a few days of rest!
When Chu Huan woke up in the morning that day, he received a call from Fang Jianhui. This was one of the very few people who knew Chu Huan's plan. Naturally, he also knew Chu Huan's current contact number.
"Brother Huan, something happened!"
Fang Jianhui's voice was filled with anxiety!
Chu Huan said calmly: "The sky won't fall, don't worry, what's going on?"
Fang Jianhui said: "We just got a call from Hang Seng Bank, hoping that we can repay their loan in advance!"
Chu Huan raised his eyebrows slightly. Currently, Chu Huan has loans from two banks. One is the Bank of East Asia owned by Jian Yueqiang, and the other is Hang Seng Bank, which is controlled by HSBC with more than 51%.
On March 3, 1933, He Shanheng founded Hang Seng Bank with friends such as Lin Bingyan, Sheng Chunlin, Liang Zhiwei. The opening date has four "3". In Cantonese, "3" has the same pronunciation as "生", so "生,生,生"
, means "sheng", so it is "eternal life".
But at that time, Hang Seng was not a bank, but a bank account!
After Li Guowei, the nephew of the Li family, one of the four major families in Hong Kong, joined Hang Seng, he advocated the reorganization of Hang Seng Bank.
He Shanheng followed the advice and on January 1, 1960, Hang Seng Bank was renamed Hang Seng Bank.
The following year, the 22-story Hang Seng Building was completed. The exterior walls were made of glass curtain wall and aluminum, which were the most advanced building materials at the time.
But the good times did not last long. In 1965, a run on Hong Kong's banking industry broke out. Hang Seng Bank was deeply affected. In order to protect itself, it had to seek help from HSBC.
Although Hang Seng Bank escaped the run with the help of HSBC, it also handed over 51% of its equity.
However, HSBC does not participate in the operation of Hang Seng Bank, which is still operated under the management of Ho Sin Hang.
At the same time, because of the support of HSBC, Hang Seng Bank has gained the trust of depositors. Before the bank runs, the deposit limit of Hang Seng Bank was HK$720 million. With the outbreak of bank runs, Hang Seng Bank lost a large amount of deposits. However, after HSBC joined,
The run on Hang Seng Bank came to an abrupt end, and depositors switched from withdrawing money to depositing money.
By June of the same year, Hang Seng Bank’s total deposits had reached HK$1.5 billion!
Last year, Hang Seng Bank went public with an opening price of HK$130. The highest unit price per share that year reached HK$190 per share. This year, Hang Seng Bank’s share price has soared to HK$290 per share!
However, most of the outstanding shares of Hang Seng Bank were bought by HSBC. By 1978, HSBC's shareholding in Hang Seng Bank had also increased from 51% to 61%!
Chu Huan’s loans from Hang Seng Bank were all used for Shanhai Cinema Line’s theater acquisition!
"Isn't the loan term with Hang Seng Bank not yet up?" Chu Huan asked in a deep voice.
Fang Jianhui shook his head and said: "Hang Seng Bank sent a notice that it believes that our company is not operating well and has the right to terminate the loan contract early."
Haha, it turns out that I am waiting for you here!
When Chu Huan took out a loan from Hang Seng Bank, there was indeed such a clause in the loan regulations. In fact, most commercial loans in Xiangjiang have such a clause.
Chu Huan didn't pay attention at that time, but he didn't expect that this kind of thing would happen to him today.
"The deadline they gave?" Chu Huan continued to ask.
"The end of this month!" Fang Jianhui said quickly.
fine.
March has just entered today, and there are only a few days until the Hong Kong stock market crashes.
"I understand, I will handle this matter!" Chu Huan said calmly.
In Fang Jianhui's place, Chu Huan naturally has no need to act anymore!
Although Fang Jianhui knew Chu Huan's plan, he didn't know the specific time when Chu Huan would implement the plan, so he still worried.
"Brother Huan, if you can't complete your plan this month, this 14 million loan will be a bit difficult!"
Chu Huan smiled and said: "Now everyone knows that we are short of time. Hang Seng Bank thinks so, and others naturally think so too."
Then Chu Huan said again: "You don't have to worry about Hang Seng Bank's affairs for now. Does Bank of East Asia have any requirements in this regard?"
Compared to Hang Seng Bank, Chu Huan is more concerned about Bank of East Asia!
Fang Jianhui hurriedly said: "That's not true. The Bank of East Asia is very calm and there is no news."
Chu Huan nodded with satisfaction.
Although Chu Huan is not worried about Hang Seng Bank's affairs, he still has to act in a certain way.
So Chu Huan ended his decadent life these days, washed up, left the villa in Tseung Kwan O, and came to Hang Seng Tower.
After staying at Hang Seng Tower for a while, he walked out of Hang Seng Bank with an angry look on his face.
Chu Huan, who left Hang Seng Bank, appeared in the black and white image this time.
The employees of Black and White Video immediately showed shocked expressions when they saw that Chu Huan, who had not been seen for many days, suddenly appeared in the company.
Xu Yi came to Chu Huan immediately.
"Young Master Huan, you, we..."
For a moment, Xu Yi didn't know what to say.
Chu Huan said with a smile at this time: "What? I just haven't been to the company for a few days, don't you know what to say to me?"
Of course, there was a lot to say, but for a moment he didn't know where to start. Xu Yi thought for a while and still preached.
"Young Master Huan, we all believe in you and believe that you will be able to lead us out of this difficulty!"
Chu Huan suddenly smiled and said: "The company has no difficulties in the first place, why do you make it so tragic!"
Is the company still in trouble?
I asked you to take all the cash, and there is news this morning that Hang Seng Bank will terminate the loan contract with Shanhai Cinemas early. This is a big deal!
A black-and-white image that is poorly handled and built with great pains may face bankruptcy and reorganization.
"Okay, let's notify the company's top management and prepare for a meeting!"
Chu Huan didn't say much to Xu Yi.
Xu Yi understood that Chu Huan would definitely take action when he returned this time. When he heard what Chu Huan said, he felt mixed with joy and sorrow and said that he would inform him immediately.
Fortunately, Chu Huan finally appeared, and it seemed that he was not as decadent as reported in the newspapers. Maybe Chu Huan's appearance this time can turn the tide!
What's worrying is that I can't tell Chu Huan's true plan at all. What if Chu Huan wants to give up the company?
No matter what, Xu Yi immediately notified the company's top management to hold a meeting.
When these people arrived at the company conference room, they saw Chu Huan already sitting there with General Manager Fang Jianhui!
"Everyone, I haven't seen you for a while, and I'm really sorry for making you worry about me!"
After Chu Huan waited for everyone to arrive, he smiled and apologized to everyone.
Zhou Zhibin, general manager of Shanhai Cinema Line, immediately said: "Master Huan, you founded the company, and you led us to where we are now. We all watched how you gave us time and time again, Master Huan."
You are the one who has created miracles. We all believe that you, Mr. Huan, will be able to lead us out of this difficult time!"
Following Zhou Zhibin's statement, others also said the same thing.
Chu Huan looked at everyone with relief. During his disappearance, his confidence in the black and white images did not collapse. This was good. It meant that even if he focused more on other things in the future, he would not have to worry about the black and white images.
It’s about the image.
"I know that everyone already knows what happened to the company this morning, but don't worry, it won't be long before the company will have a sum of cash coming in, which will be enough to cover the company's loan from Hang Seng Bank."
Zhou Zhibin and others all showed happy expressions. What worries them most now is the company's loan from Hang Seng Bank. If the loan cannot be repaid, Shanhai Cinema will even face an auction. If it loses the support of the cinema,
, the black and white image will immediately fall from the third position in the Hong Kong film industry!
But while they were happy, they were also worried. They couldn't imagine where Chu Huan could get such a large amount of cash.
"Don't worry, everyone, I definitely didn't intend to take this money at the casino!"
Chu Huan made a joke to everyone, but it didn't cause much laughter.
But no matter what, now that Chu Huan has made a promise to everyone, it can be regarded as temporarily eliminating everyone's worries.
To be continued...
