202, Chu Tianxiao took action

Sheung Wan, Lu Yu Teahouse!

A light yellow Mercedes-Benz parked at the door of Lu Yu Teahouse.

Chu Tianxiao, who was wearing a suit, got out of the car, straightened his clothes, looked up at this teahouse with a long history in Xiangjiang, and walked in slowly.

Lu Yu Teahouse is a time-honored teahouse in Hong Kong. The owner of this teahouse came to Xiangjiang from Shenghai in the 1930s to open this teahouse. Therefore, the decoration of this teahouse still maintains the old-fashioned style of the beach in the 1930s, with high-quality rosewood.

The wooden seats, the large mahogany screens, the yellowed calligraphy and painting scrolls hanging on the walls, the waiters and ladies in old-fashioned Tang suits, the long-robed pianist tuning the piano, and the Cantonese opera actresses with light makeup who are ready to take the stage for the guests at any time, let me

Teagoers who enter the door have an illusory feeling of traveling back to the prosperous sea of ​​wealth and wealth.

“It’s been like this for decades and nothing has changed!”

Chu Tianxiao was actually very dissatisfied with the decoration of Lu Yu Teahouse, but it didn't matter. The two people he met today were very enthusiastic about it, so naturally Chu Tianxiao had no choice but to come here.

A shrewd and neat middle-aged man immediately greeted Chu Tianxiao with a smile.

"Mr. Chu, Mr. Chen, and Mr. Shao have arrived. They are waiting for you in the private room on the second floor!"

Chu Tianxiao nodded slightly, took out a hundred tip and gave it to the other party, and let the other party lead the way!

Arriving at the private room on the second floor, Chu Tianxiao saw the guest he was going to meet today.

Chen Zengxi, the founder of Hang Lung Real Estate, and Shao Weifang, the eldest son of Shao Cun, a father and son of Xiangjiang Shaw family!

The people of Shaocun are now in poor health and rarely go out to meet people. There is even news that the people of Shaocun may not be able to survive this year.

Among the descendants of Shaocun people, there are seven sons and one daughter. In fact, the most promising one is the second son Shao Weiying. At that time, Shao Yifu returned to Xiangjiang to revive Shaw Brothers Pictures. Although the people of Shaocun were helpful, the two brothers had no idea about movies.

are not the same.

Shao Yifu also had the support of his third brother Shao Shanke, so the two brothers staged a less intense "Weiyang Palace" on the 60th birthday of the Shao villagers. From then on, the Shao villagers became completely selfish towards the film industry, and then in 1961, they completely

The film career of Shaw Brothers and Sons was stopped.

At that time, Shao Weiying served as the director of the production department of Shaw Brothers' Shaw Brothers, which was Zou Wenhuai's position later.

Not only did the people from Thao Village leave the film industry, but they also asked their son Shao Weiying to leave the Shaw Brothers. Since then, Shao Weiying has stayed away from Hong Kong and gone to Japan, rarely appearing in Hong Kong.

At this time, Shao Weifang and several other brothers were responsible for taking care of most of the property of the people in Shao Village.

"Boy, I'm sorry, I'm late!"

Seeing the two of them, Chu Tianxiao was all smiles. Here today, he is the youngest, and he is the one with the least wealth. The three of them are planning to cooperate when they meet this time. He and Chen Zengxi are partners, and the two of them want to

Purchase a property from Shaw Weifang.

So no matter how you look at it, among the three people at this time, Chu Tianxiao is the weakest!

If you ask which Chinese-owned real estate company in Hong Kong is the strongest this year, it is neither Sun Hung Kai of Kwok Desheng, nor Cheung Kong Holdings of Li Jiacheng, nor Cheng Yutong's New World.

But Chen Zengxi’s Hang Lung Properties!

On October 21 last year, Hang Lung was listed in Xiangjiang and publicly offered 24 million new shares with a face value of 2 yuan per share at a price of 8.5 yuan, raising more than 200 million yuan.

When Hang Lung was listed, it owned a total of 5 development sites, including the luxury building Hengbai Garden at 1 Litteton Road in the Mid-levels of Hong Kong Island, Heng King Court and Hengying Building on Yunjing Road in North Point. Another 6 have been completed or are under construction.

Rent-collecting properties under construction, including Hang Lung Center in Causeway Bay, Parkview Commercial Center in Kowloon, and Po Shing House on Nan Wan Road, Hong Kong Island, have begun to take shape.

Hang Lung's net profit in the first year after listing was as high as NT$65.7 million, surpassing Hopewell, 28% higher than Sun Hung Kai, and 50% higher than Cheung Kong.

Its stock price once reached a level of 29.2 yuan per share, with a market value of 3.5 billion yuan.

Chu Tianxiao was interested in the development of Henglong, so he proposed the idea of ​​cooperating with the other party. After some mutual testing and negotiation, the two parties finally finalized the cooperation project.

Shaw Brothers purchased Shaw House in Mong Kok, Kowloon and the Sun Wah Cinema on the first floor of Shaw House!

Today is the Nth negotiation between the two parties.

"Mr. Shao has just told me that the Shaw Building can be sold, but the price of 115 million cannot be cheaper!"

Chen Zengxi didn't say anything about Chu Tianxiao's lateness, but told Chu Tianxiao the results of his previous negotiations with Shao Weifang.

This price is high!

After Chu Tianxiao heard the price, he immediately thought about the land price in Mong Kok. It was not a matter of being a little higher, but a matter of being much higher.

"Mr. Shao, can this price be lowered? You know the land prices in Mong Kok."

Shao Weifang's smile was very peaceful. It didn't look like he was having a business negotiation with someone, but more like he was drinking tea and chatting with friends.

"Mr. Chu, this price was set by my father, and to be honest, our family doesn't really want to sell Shaw Building, so if you two can't accept this price, then let's not continue the discussion.

So as not to hurt everyone’s harmony!”

A slight anger arose in Chu Tianxiao's heart. Are you talking about business? How can there be a one-shot deal? You just name a price and we can't bargain down?

Are you the Jade Emperor?

But no matter what, this business was led by Chen Zengxi, and Chu Tianxiao could only look at Chen Zengxi.

What surprised Chu Tianxiao was that Chen Zengxi actually gave him a vague look of agreement?

"Haha, we are all friends. No matter how the business is, you still have to drink tea."

Afterwards, the three of them drank tea and chatted, including small talk and business negotiations.

It lasted for more than an hour. Shao Weifang looked at the time and said with a smile: "I have just said what needs to be said. You two should discuss it carefully and call me when you have decided. Again, our business is not here."

Benevolence and righteousness are there!”

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! After finishing speaking, Shao Weifang left here first.

After Shao Weifang left, Chu Tianxiao couldn't help but ask Chen Zengxi.

"Brother Chen, 115 million Hong Kong dollars is almost 20% higher than the current land price in Mong Kok. We absolutely cannot accept this price!"

Chen Zengxi smiled nonchalantly. Now, the development prospects of Hang Lung Real Estate are very bright. Even if the market value is lower than the maximum of 3.5 billion, Hang Lung Real Estate is still the leader of Chinese real estate companies.

Therefore, Chen Zengxi is inevitably complacent.

"Brother Chu, you have just entered the real estate industry not long ago, and you still don't know much about the real estate industry. Although it seems now that the asking price of Shaw Towers is higher than the average land price in Mong Kok, look at the location of Shaw Towers

, that's on Nathan Road, one of the best areas in Mong Kok.

And after we buy it, whether it is used for renovation to collect rent or re-planning, it will take time. You see, the housing prices in Xiangjiang are changing day by day. By the time the delivery is completed, the land prices in Mong Kok may have gone up.

."

After hearing what Chen Zengxi said, Chu Tianxiao persuaded him: "Brother Chen, although what you said makes sense, we can definitely try to acquire other buildings. I believe the price will not be so high!"

Chen Zengxi had obviously already made up his mind. He waved his hand and said nonchalantly: "Brother Chu, as I said just now, you still don't know enough about the real estate industry.

Shaw Building, what he owns is not only the 20-story building where it is now and his land, but he also has the name 'Shaw Building'!"

Chu Tianxiao seemed unable to understand what Chen Zengxi meant. Is a name worth tens of millions?

Chen Zengxi chuckled and said: "Shao Cun people, the relationship between the brothers Shao Yifu has always been a mystery in the hearts of Xiangjiang people.

After the building and Xinhua Cinema are packaged and sold to us, this matter will definitely attract the attention of the media in Hong Kong, and the stock prices of our two companies will definitely rise by then!"

When Chu Tianxiao heard that the stock price had risen, Chu Tianxiao's eyes immediately shone. The rise in the stock price meant that his worth had increased, and at the same time, he could allocate more funds.

Thinking of this, Chu Tianxiao was a little moved.

First of all, in Chu Tianxiao's view, Chen Zengxi was not lying about this matter. Shaw's Tower is different from other commercial buildings in Xiangjiang. It has more stories to tell, and naturally it is something that the Xiangjiang media prefers to report.

Then the stock price of Jiahu Textile will naturally increase.

If you think so, then the price of Shaw Towers is now acceptable. As for what Chen Zengxi didn't tell him, we have to see who can seize this opportunity better.

In addition, the main reason why Chu Tianxiao did not say anything else was that Chu Tianxiao did not have much say in this transaction and could only passively accept Chen Zengxi's request.

Naturally, Chen Zengxi also has his own Xiao Jiujiu. Although there is nothing wrong with what he just said, Chen Zengxi actually has more plans in his heart.

What Chu Tianxiao didn't know was that there was a piece of land not far from Shaw Towers that belonged to Hang Lung Properties. According to Hang Lung Properties' plan, their company would develop that land next year. By then, Shaw Towers

The transaction price here will inevitably cause land prices in this area to rise.

And Hang Lung Properties’ income will naturally be even greater.

"Haha, brother Chu, we at Hang Lung are also optimistic about the future development prospects of your Jiahu Real Estate, so we are cooperating with you this time. Just wait and see, this piece of land will bring us unexpected benefits in the future!"

After a glint flashed in Chu Tianxiao's eyes, he said with a smile: "Of course I believe Brother Chen. After all, our Huhua Real Estate is new to this industry, and I have never participated in hosting any major projects before.

Regarding real estate projects, our two companies will continue to cooperate more in the future!"

After the two exchanged pleasantries, they said goodbye to each other.

Chu Tianxiao, who returned to Jiahu Building, immediately called Chu Ran and Chen Xiao into his office.

"Chen Xiao, please investigate immediately to see what land reserves Hang Lung Properties has in Mong Kok!"

"Chu Ran, please keep in touch with Chen Qizong during this period and find a way to find out whether Hang Lung Properties has any other real estate development projects that have not been made public in the past two years!"

Two orders were issued in succession, making both Chen Xiao and Chu Ran somewhat unsure of Chu Tianxiao's intentions!

"Daddy, didn't you and Chen Zengxi go to negotiate with Shao Weifang? Why are you investigating Hang Lung Real Estate now?"

Chu Ran asked.

"Old Fox, you really think that I don't know anything about the real estate industry. I suspect that he wants to borrow our funds this time to speculate on his company's own real estate projects!"

Chu Tianxiao is not so easy to fool. His previous behavior in front of Chen Zengxi can only be said to be that everyone is acting. If Chu Tianxiao is so easy to fool, Chu Huan does not have to wait until March before taking action. Last year's

By then, Chu Huan would be able to get Jiahu Textile back.

Chu Ran wanted to ask something else, but Chu Tianxiao did not give him this chance and continued to give instructions.

"You two, while you are doing the things I have assigned you, you should also pay attention to whether there is any land for sale in the surrounding area with Shaw Tower as the axis in the recent period!"

Obviously Chu Tianxiao also thought of Chen Zengxi's idea, that is, after obtaining the Shaw Tower at a high price, if he can get a good piece of land at a low price in the surrounding area, he can maximize the benefits of this cooperation.

!

Seeing Chu Tianxiao's expression, Chu Ran and Chen Xiao did not dare to say anything more, turned around and left Chu Tianxiao's office to go about their own affairs.

After the two left, Chu Tianxiao dialed Zhang Mingyi's phone number.

"Mingyi, I need some funds now!"

Chu Tianxiao didn't have much cash in his hands. Although Jiahu Textile issued new shares twice in a row, it brought a lot of cash flow to Jiahu Textile. However, the development of Jiahu Textile and Huhua Real Estate requires cash support.

In addition, Jiahu Textile itself has loans. In January this year, part of the loan was repaid, and Huhua Real Estate has developed a new real estate project.

Everything costs money!

Now Huhua Real Estate is cooperating with Hang Lung Properties to acquire Shaw Towers at a price 20% higher than the market price. It is also acquiring land near Shaw Towers according to its own plan. All of these require cash investment.

So now Chu Tianxiao can only find Zhang Mingyi to continue borrowing money from the bank.

But Chu Tianxiao was blinded by the immediate interests after all. He had said many times before that Chu Huan expanded too fast in the second half of last year, which caused his own foundation to be unstable. Now he

He is also following Chu Huan's old path.

However, according to Chu Tianxiao's character, even if he discovers problems, he will still continue with his plan.

It is true that the benefits brought by the real estate industry now are too amazing.

Before Hang Lung Properties went public last year, it was just a real estate company with a market value of more than HK$800 million, but now its market value exceeds HK$3 billion.

Who wouldn’t be greedy after seeing such an increase?

If Chu Huan and Chu Tianxiao had no grudges, Chu Huan would definitely tell Chu Tianxiao that he was not greedy!

At the beginning, Chu Huan never thought about using some of his cash to buy real estate stocks in Xiangjiang. In this case, the profit on paper would definitely be more than what he would earn from buying stocks in the Hang Seng Index, Dairy Company, and Land.

But the risk is too great. Real estate companies like Hang Lung are too small. Any changes in the market may cause their company's stock price to plummet, and the stock may even fall into your own hands.

, there is a possibility that no one will take over.

That's why Chu Huan decided to win with stability after careful consideration.

If such an idea were to be known to those who thought Chu Huan was crazy about expansion, they would definitely laugh out loud.

Another reason that allowed Chu Tianxiao to make such a decision was that during this period, Chu Huan went to Haojiang more frequently.

The threat to Chu Huan, who is addicted to spinach, has plummeted in Chu Tianxiao's mind.

...

When the time entered February, the painter and story editor Kelly found for Chu Huan had not yet come to Xiangjiang, and another piece of news broke out about Xiangjiang's real estate industry.

Hong Kong real estate upstart Hang Lung Properties and Huhua Properties jointly announced that the two companies will jointly establish a real estate company to acquire the Shaw Towers and Xinhua Theater owned by Shaw Brothers and Sons for a price of HK$115 million!

As Chen Zengxi said, because the Shaw Building involves the people of Shao Village and the grievances between the Shao Yifu brothers, the whole of Xiangjiang is reporting on this matter, and naturally more people know about it.

Already.

Every ordinary person who hears this price can't help but be amazed!

Are Hang Lung Properties and Huhua Properties crazy? Even they know that this price is much higher than the current land price in Mong Kok. Don’t these two companies know?

But after hearing the news, some real estate company bosses immediately made the same decision as Chu Tianxiao.

Immediately send someone to inquire if there is any prime land for sale near Shaw Building.

For a time, all real estate companies in Xiangjiang set their sights on Mong Kok.

This naturally led to another rise in land prices in the Mong Kok area.

In addition, as Chen Zengxi said, the stocks of Hang Lung Real Estate and Jiahu Textile rose again.

Although ordinary people do not understand why these two companies acquired Shaw Towers at such a high price, they simply believe that since these two companies can acquire it at such a high price, the cash flow of these two companies must be very high.

abundant!

Abundant cash flow means that the profitability of these two companies is there.

Naturally, the stocks of the two companies have also become popular.

This kind of operation actually appeared many times in the Hong Kong stock market. Later, Jianing, who left a mark in the business history of Hong Kong, also used this method to increase the stock price of their company!

And those leeks continue to fall for similar scams again and again.

Fortunately, Hang Lung Properties and Shanghai Hua Real Estate really bought Shaw Towers, instead of going from left to right like Carin did.

Otherwise, even if the laws of the Hong Kong securities market are not yet complete, they will still be punished!

Chu Huan also learned about this matter immediately.

"Should I find a time to thank Chen Zengxi properly?"

Chu Huan held the newspaper in his hand and looked at Cao Yunshang next to him with a strange expression.

Cao Yunshang nodded seriously and said: "I think it is appropriate. According to the cooperation regulations disclosed by both parties, Huhua Real Estate will have to spend at least 35 million Hong Kong dollars this time. According to Chu Tianxiao's character, he

At that time, we had even signed contracts with other real estate companies, which was another huge amount of cash.

With this alone, the liquidity in Chu Tianxiao’s hands may be about to bottom out!”

There is no fool in this matter. Chu Huan and Cao Yunshang can also guess that Chu Tianxiao will definitely pay a huge amount of cash or shares of Jiahu Textile in this operation.

No matter which of these two items are, it is a good thing for Chu Huan!

"What do you have in mind next?"

Cao Yunshang asked Chu Huan. Although Chu Huan never told Cao Yunshang the time when he would actually take action, based on Chu Huan's performance during this period, Cao Yunshang also understood that the time for Chu Huan to take action was not far away.

Chu Huan thought for a while and said: "Wait a minute, it's not the last moment yet. I think Chu Tianxiao will definitely have to wait for the real estate stocks to skyrocket again before announcing his second real estate plan, so as to maximize the

The degree of improvement in the stock price of Jiahu Textile!"

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "At that time, it's time for me to take action!"

Cao Yunshang frowned slightly, then looked at Chu Huan with a complicated expression, "Aren't you afraid that what you did this time will really hurt Miao Kexiu's heart!"

Miao Kexiu is probably suffering the most right now. In her heart, she still thinks that Chu Huan is real. She is obsessed with spinach. She has been working hard on filming. She hopes to do her best to provide Chu Huan with something.

help.

But now Chu Huan didn't tell Miao Kexiu anything.

When the truth comes out in the future, Cao Yunshang doesn't know whether Miao Kexiu can withstand this blow. Anyway, Cao Yunshang feels that if he were replaced by Miao Kexiu, he would definitely take advantage of Chu Huan's sleep at that time.

When the time came, let him become the last eunuch in Xiangjiang!

Chu Huan thought for a while and said: "Let's do this. I'll ask Fang Jianhui to arrange it. After A Xiu's drama is completed, someone will take her away from Xiangjiang. This will also save her from the excitement!"

Cao Yunshang laughed and said, "Do you think she will leave at this time?"

Chu Huan smiled and said: "As long as I think about it, I can always find a way!"

Cao Yunshang was stunned for a moment, then glared at Chu Huan fiercely.

"My dad has said that it is impossible to make a public announcement, but we can allow this news to spread."

Chu Huan thought for a moment and said: "No problem, we will still hold the engagement ceremony on March 15th as originally planned!"

Speaking of the engagement ceremony, Cao Yunshang's face turned red. She always felt that this day was still far away, but she didn't expect that it would be here in the blink of an eye.

Chu Huan saw Cao Yunshang's expression and asked with a smile: "After we two get engaged, shouldn't our relationship take a further step?"

At this time, although Chu Huan was still teasing Cao Yunshang, Chu Huan understood that Cao Yunshang would not let him proceed to the last step without a suitable opportunity.

Now is the best time to watch the engagement ceremony.

"Humph, you should think about how to face your Miao Kexiu at that time!"

After finishing speaking, Cao Yunshang turned around and left arrogantly, but after she walked out of the room, she turned back and said with a red face: "This is my office, you should go out!"

Chu Huan laughed when he saw this, he really wanted to deal with Miao Kexiu's matter.

After leaving Fengwu Securities, Chu Huan came to Black and White Image.

"How many days will it take for the scene with A Xiu to be completed?" Chu Huan asked Fang Jianhui.

Fang Jianhui was stunned for a moment and said: "The filming was completed yesterday, and the second sister-in-law came to me specifically to continue taking over the film."

Speaking of this, Fang Jianhui whispered: "Brother Huan, I think you might as well tell the second sister-in-law, it makes people feel so distressed to see her like this!"

Chu Huan shook his head coldly and said, "No, there can't be any flaws in this plan."

When Fang Jianhui saw Chu Huan's expression, he didn't dare to persuade him any more.

But even though he said that, Chu Huan still said to Fang Jianhui: "Tomorrow you call Axiu and tell her that you have helped her contact a film company for a new movie, but this movie needs to be shot in London for a month.

Not only did she have time, but also Lin Qingxia and Zhao Yazhi from the company."

"By the way, let Chu Tianxiao know this news."

Fang Jianhui nodded and said: "There is no problem, but Brother Huan, since you are thinking about letting the second sister-in-law leave Xiangjiang, why don't you tell her your plan? She is overseas, and Chu Tianxiao can no longer be there.

Do you know something about Second Sister-in-law?"

Chu Huan naturally knew this truth, but Chu Huan was still worried that something might go wrong in the process. He didn't want any surprises to happen at the last minute of what he had planned for more than half a year.

Therefore, the only way to deal with this matter is to aggrieve Miao Kexiu first.

When Fang Jianhui saw that Chu Huan didn't answer, he understood what Chu Huan meant, but he still said: "But even if you don't tell the second sister-in-law now, you will still find out when the second sister-in-law goes to London!"

Chu Huan said: "You don't have to worry about this, I will naturally have my own arrangements!"

Fang Jianhui had no choice but to say that he would call Miao Kexiu tomorrow!

After talking to Fang Jianhui, Chu Huan went directly to Lin Qingxia's apartment.

Every time he stood at the door of Lin Qingxia's apartment, Chu Huan couldn't help but wonder what the two girls Lin Qingxia and Zhao Yazhi were doing that evening!

Obviously Lin Qingxia definitely didn't do what she did last time this time. After hearing Chu Huan's voice, she quickly opened the door.

After seeing Chu Huan, he had a sweet smile.

"Brother Huan, are you looking for someone to eat with again?"

Chu Huan waved his hand and said: "This time I am not looking for you to eat, but I want to ask you for something!"

Lin Qingxia showed a puzzled expression: "If you have anything, just ask Brother Huan."

Chu Huan said: "That's it, I want you and Azhi to stay with Axiu in London for a while, about a month, and then you can come back!"

When she heard that she was going to London with Miao Kexiu, Lin Qingxia showed a complicated expression and asked softly: "Is there something wrong?"

Chu Huan said with a smile: "It's not a big deal. The main reason is that Axiu has been too tired during this period. I don't want her to be so tired, so I hope she can go to London to relax, but I am worried that after she arrives in London, she will be alone."

She was bored, and then wanted to come back, so I think it would be better if you and Azhi were with me. Anyway, you just try your best to let her play in London for a month!"

Lin Qingxia was stunned at first, not understanding why Chu Huan would arrange this, but suddenly she thought of what Zhao Yazhi had told her before, that Chu Huan would hold an engagement ceremony with Cao Yunshang next month, and even her expression darkened.

Got it!

"knew!"
