264, sooner or later he will be better than Chu Huan
I have to admit that Huang Yulang still has certain abilities in creating comics, otherwise he would not have become the number one comic artist in Hong Kong in another time and space!
The two comics "Tathagata Palm" and "Emperor" immediately attracted the attention of many comic fans as soon as they were released.
This also led to a substantial increase in sales of the "Little Rascals" comics.
Looking at the sales volume of Xiangjiang handed over by the secretary, Huang Yulang finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Xiangjiang’s single-issue sales exceeded 200,000!
At the same time, sales in Southeast Asia, which Chu Huan regarded as a magic weapon, also exceeded 500,000!
In Huang Yulang's view, this is a real sales volume, which means that he has fulfilled his bet with Zhang Chengzhong!
"I just said that there must be no problem with my comics, and now it seems that it is indeed the case!" Huang Yulang sat in his seat and said proudly.
Regardless of their "Avengers" which has existed in name only, at least in Huang Yulang's view, he is the first among these people who did not fail under Chu Huan's suppression, but instead went upstream.
"Michael Keswick, Chen Qizong, and Zhang Chengzhong usually have their eyes above their heads. Now they don't let Chu Huan press them to the ground and rub them. This also proves that they just cast a better child than me. If I had a background like them
,What will happen to Chu Huan now!"
Some people cannot succeed, because once they succeed, they will forget about it!
And Huang Yulang is such a person.
At this time, he had already forgotten about his "Little Rascals" series being pushed to the ground and rubbed by Chu Huan. At this time, Huang Yulang was determined that as long as he was given time, it would be a matter of time to defeat Chu Huan's "Fantasy Comics".
It is precisely because of this idea that Huang Yulang was very proud during this period, and his creative passion was no longer so exaggerated.
That night, I made an appointment with a group of friends and got drunk in a nightclub!
But what Huang Yulang didn't expect was that the sales of his comics dropped in the next issue. The sales of a single issue in Xiangjiang dropped by 200,000, and the sales in Southeast Asia dropped by 500,000!
Such a double blow made Huang Yulang immediately excited, seriously remembered the story, and started drawing comics.
The result satisfied Huang Yulang, and by the time of the next issue, the sales volume of the comic had indeed increased again.
After going back and forth like this, it was finally time for the last three issues agreed with Zhang Chengzhong. In Huang Yulang's opinion, as long as this issue can achieve the sales target, the agreement between him and Zhang Chengzhong would be considered a victory.
Already.
At the same time, Zhang Chengzhong also came to Xiangjiang at this time.
His former "Avengers" partners, Michael Keswick and Chen Qizong, also made an appointment with Zhang Chengzhong at this time.
As for Huang Yulang, forget it, Huang Yulang thought he had succeeded. In fact, Michael Keswick and Chen Qizong still looked down upon him.
But this time, they were not meeting in Jade, but in a nightclub in Xiangjiang!
Michael Keswick and Chen Qizong were both having a hard time during these days.
Michael Keswick thought that he could gain something from dealing with Chu Huan and then improve his status in the Keswick family, but after so many months, he made no progress, and Chu Huan's
The development of the border area is changing day by day!
This made Michael, who was already ostracized by the Keswick family, even more ostracized now!
inability!
It’s about to become his label!
The same is true for Chen Qizong. Looking at Hopewell Properties, which was not as good as them during the stock market crash, now after taking advantage of the Huaye City project, the stock price has rebounded little by little. Now, the stock price of their Hang Lung Properties has become the top among Xiangjiang real estate stocks.
The bottom one exists.
Such a gap is not acceptable to Chen Qizong.
So two frustrated people need the stimulation of alcohol and the stimulation of women!
Jade Club obviously can no longer satisfy them!
Zhang Chengzhong looked at the two of them and felt a sick sense of pleasure. As long as he was not the only one being pushed to the ground and rubbed by Chu Huan, Zhang Chengzhong would be happy.
"Kevin, you should have come back earlier. If the three of us join forces, we will definitely have some impact on Chu Huan!"
Chen Qizong hugged the girl in his arms and lectured angrily to Zhang Chengzhong.
It was precisely because of that sick feeling of pleasure that Zhang Chengzhong was able to smile from the bottom of his heart.
"Ronnie, I also wanted to come here earlier. The Chu Huan I saw was unlucky, but every family has its own problems. The market in Xiangjiang is not good now, so we can only focus more on the Southeast Asian market!
"
The stock market crash in Xiangjiang caused various degrees of decline in all industries in Xiangjiang. Compared with the market in Xiangjiang, the Southeast Asian market is relatively better.
Therefore, Zhang Chengzhong did not lie about this matter. Zhang Mingyi's overseas trust suffered heavy losses in Xiangjiang, and he could only find a way to recover his losses from the Southeast Asian market.
Michael Keswick agreed: "Now companies in Hong Kong with Southeast Asian markets are making every effort to develop the Southeast Asian market. This is indeed a good way to stop bleeding!"
When Chen Qizong heard what the two of them said, his eyes showed envy.
Jardine is rooted in Xiangjiang, and its business has already expanded to the entire Southeast Asia. Zhang Mingyi's overseas trust was established based on the Southeast Asian market. Both of them have their own business in the Southeast Asian market.
On the other hand, Hang Lung Properties has not left Xiangjiang yet. The real estate market in Xiangjiang is so bad now that they cannot use their business in the Southeast Asian market to recoup the losses in Xiangjiang like Jardine and Overseas Trust!
"Ronnie, Chu Huan's Huaye City project became very popular some time ago and was reported in newspapers in Southeast Asia. I think this is something that you, Hang Lung Properties, can learn from!"
Zhang Chengzhong suggested to Chen Qizong in a "friendly" way.
Chen Qizong smiled bitterly: "Of course I know this, but even if I know it, there is nothing I can do about it. Chu Huan's Huaye City is supported by his two factories, but we don't have such convenient conditions!"
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! After nearly two months of fermentation, more news about Huaye City has been revealed.
At this time, many people in Xiangjiang also noticed something that they had not paid attention to before but now paid attention to.
That is the 1 million square feet of industrial land that Chu Huan used to build a factory in previous news reports!
Two 500,000-square-foot industrial land can be used to build a factory where people can work at the same time. Now, six months have passed, and no one has yet recovered from the impact of the stock market crash in Hong Kong. The unemployment rate has hit new highs.
At the same time, the population of Xiangjiang is also growing rapidly.
As long as Tianhai Real Estate completes the reclamation and mountain removal project, they can immediately start the construction of the factory. The construction of the factory is much faster than the construction of Huaye City.
By that time, these two factories will not be short of workers at all!
I believe that by the time the first phase of the Huaye City project is completed, both factories will already be operating normally.
When the time comes, those factory workers will become the first residents of Huaye City.
This will be a very benign operation, and no one will doubt the Huaye City project at this time.
At the same time, this also prevents those who want to do it in the same way from imitating the Huaye City project.
After hearing what Chen Qizong said, Zhang Chengzhong already had a countermeasure, saying: "The Huaye City project is too big to operate, but your Hang Lung Properties can operate a smaller project.
As long as Xiangjiang shareholders see the strength of your Hang Lung Properties, are you still worried that Hang Lung Properties’ share price will not increase?”
Zhang Chengzhong's words seemed to open a door for Chen Qizong, but then he fell into a helpless mood.
"Of course we know this, but now Hang Lung Real Estate's liquidity has been held back by previous projects. It is obviously impossible to come up with such a large amount of money!"
In the final analysis, what Hang Lung Real Estate lacks most now is liquidity. Without Zhang Chengzhong's reminder, Chen Qizong knew that if the news that Hang Lung Real Estate had launched a major project could be spread at this time, it would definitely stimulate the stock market.
But the problem now is that the sluggishness of real estate stocks has already caused all banks in Hong Kong to tacitly begin to shrink their loans to real estate developers!
Nowadays, real estate companies cannot get loans from banks at all.
As for another way for real estate companies to raise funds, which is to sell new shares, there is no need to think about it. Don’t you see that the current stock market in Xiangjiang only has selling orders and no buying orders?
No one will buy the new shares issued by Hang Lung Properties at this time.
"This is indeed a difficult thing to handle, but now Hang Lung Real Estate still has several good projects in its hands. If we can find a suitable partner, I think Hang Lung Real Estate can get out of this quagmire as soon as possible!"
Zhang Chengzhong preached with some regret.
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 include Hang Lung Center in Causeway Bay, Parkview Commercial Center in Kowloon, Po Shing House on Nan Wan Road, Hong Kong Island, etc.
As for the Diamond Garden that Chen Qizong was previously responsible for, it was only a very small project of Hang Lung Properties.
In addition, after Hang Lung Properties was listed, it also cooperated with Huhua Real Estate during the Chu Tianxiao period to purchase Shaw Towers, spending a whopping 115 million yuan.
In addition, a lot of cash was spent to seize land near Shaw Building.
How happy Hang Lung Properties was laughing at that time, how sad it is now.
Looking at it now, these operations have almost wiped out all the liquidity of Hang Lung Real Estate. When Chen Zengxi chose to join the Huaye City project, he was planning to use the remaining funds to turn around.
As a result, Chu Huan did not even see the father and son, and allowed them to continue to retain the funds.
However, Chen Zengxi did not dare to use this last bit of funds before he was sure about the new project. Otherwise, if there were some disturbances in the market, Hang Lung Real Estate might fall into an irreversible situation!
Just like Chu Tianxiao back then.
Hearing what Zhang Chengzhong said at this time, Chen Qizong's eyes immediately flashed with a glimmer of light, but then it quickly disappeared!
Chen Qizong asked tentatively: "Kevin, you know the situation of our Hang Lung Properties. The current stock price of Hang Lung Properties is not enough to show the asset value of our company. If overseas trust..."
Before he finished speaking, Zhang Chengzhong immediately shook his head and said: "Ronnie, you and I are friends, so let's not say those polite words. Whether it is Hang Lung Real Estate behind you or the overseas trust behind me, do you think our two fathers,
Will you listen to us?"
"Besides, as long as we cooperate, this project will definitely be big!"
Zhang Chengzhong's words made Chen Qizong fall into silence again, because he knew that what Zhang Chengzhong said was true. If he wanted to use the project to increase the share price of Hang Lung Properties, then the wine must be a big project, the kind that can cause a sensation in Hong Kong. Only in this way can he
It is possible to increase the share price of Hang Lung Properties.
But as long as it is such a project, the funds involved must be over 100 million, which is not something Chen Qizong can decide.
"Ronnie, since you two are willing to cooperate, why don't you go back and tell your father about this matter?" Michael Keswick said at this time.
Zhang Chengzhong smiled bitterly and said: "Michael, you don't understand our father's generation. Sometimes they are very bold, but sometimes they are very cautious. I want them to use their remaining working capital at this time."
Such a huge project is very troublesome!”
Michael Keswick shook his head and said he couldn't understand. In his opinion, this is a good opportunity. Although overseas trusts are based in Southeast Asia, they have now entered the Hong Kong market and are even listed in Hong Kong. It can be said that in these two
In the year, he has moved his business focus to Xiangjiang.
Not to mention Hang Lung Properties.
If these two companies can work together for warmth at this time, the effect of one plus one will be greater than two.
Why would they disagree?
Chen Qizong did not speak at this time and fell into silence.
"Okay, let's not talk about these unhappy things. Let's have a drink. Chu Huan just looks good now. As the saying goes, reincarnation is easy. The battle between us and him just ended in the first half.
In the second half, I believe that based on the power of our three companies, we will definitely be able to defeat it!"
After finishing speaking, Zhang Chengzhong raised his wine glass high!
Michael Keswick and Chen Qizong smiled at each other and raised their glasses!
...
Late at night, the three of them each walked out of the nightclub with a woman in their arms and went to the hotel together. However, after arriving at the hotel, Chen Qizong directly handed a thousand Hong Kong dollars to the dancing girl waiting for him on the bed.
"Stay here honestly and don't go out. I'll come back to deal with you tomorrow!"
After saying that, Chen Qizong left the hotel impatiently.
When Miss Wu saw Chen Qizong leaving, she looked at the luxurious suite again, curled her lips and immediately made a phone call.
"My dear, where is my suite on the Peninsula? Haven't you always wanted to try the environment here? I'll wait for you!"
"Fuck, let me watch your performance?"
"What are you talking about? There is a wealthy man who opened the house and gave the money, but he ran away. If you don't come, I will find someone else!"
"Wait for me, ten minutes!"
...
Chen Qizong drove back to his home and woke up Chen Zengxi who had fallen asleep!
Chen Zengxi, who had fallen asleep, put on his pajamas and walked out of the room. When he saw Chen Zengxi smelling of alcohol, he frowned slightly, but he calmed down when he thought that the other party would not wake him up at this time if he had nothing important to do.
dissatisfaction.
"If there's something wrong, tell me in the study!"
Chen Qizong nodded excitedly.
The two father and son came to the study, and Chen Zengxi sat on the sofa and asked in a deep voice: "Tell me, what are you doing in such a panic? You don't have any decency to talk about it!"
Chen Qizong didn't pay attention to Chen Zengxi's reprimand, and hurriedly recounted his previous conversation with Zhang Chengzhong.
Zhang Chengzhong said that his father was from the older generation, but Chen Qizong didn't think so, and he saw this matter as beneficial to him, so he couldn't wait to find Chen Zengxi and tell him about it.
But if the two parties really want to cooperate, Chen Qizong cannot let Zhang Chengzhong and his son think that the Chen family is taking advantage of it.
So Chen Qizong waited until late at night when they went to the hotel, and then ran back specially!
After hearing this, Chen Zengxi was slightly moved, and then confirmed to Chen Qizong: "Did Zhang Chengzhong take the initiative to bring this matter up to you?"
Chen Qizong shook his head and said: "I proposed it on my own initiative, but judging from Zhang Chengzhong's performance, he is also very interested in this matter!"
Chen Zengxi shook his head and said: "It's useless for Zhang Chengzhong to be interested in this matter. Zhang Mingyi needs to be interested. As you analyzed, as long as we cooperate, it will definitely be a big project. Zhang Chengzhong cannot make up his mind about this kind of thing.
!”
Chen Qizong said: "Dad, I think this matter can still be tried. Now Sun Hung Kai, New World and even Hopewell Properties are seeing their stock prices rise because of this project in Huaye City. And according to me,
According to the news they received, they have taken advantage of the good news of the rising stock price to sign a loan agreement with the bank. Coupled with the cash they received from the previous sale of new shares, they have already secured land in Xiangjiang.
If we at Hang Lung Real Estate cannot keep up with them at this time, even if we survive this stock market crash in the future, we will fall behind them everywhere, and we will be in trouble if we try to catch up with them!"
Chen Qizong's words made Chen Zengxi fall into silence. In fact, he knew these things himself without Chen Qizong reminding him.
But before that, he had no good solution!
Now that there is such a way suddenly, it is impossible not to be tempted.
However, if they really want to complete this plan, they will need a lot of cash, not only borrowing from banks, but also using their remaining working capital!
Benefits and risks coexist!
"Dad, high risk means high profit. If we can get out of the stock market crash earlier than other real estate companies in Hong Kong, then we will not only be one step ahead of them, but we will also transform from a chaser to a leader.
I think the risk is worth taking!"
When Chen Qizong saw that Chen Zengxi had been silent, he spoke again.
Chen Zengxi looked at his son and asked aloud: "Are you so eager to prove that you are more powerful than Chu Huan, or are you considering the development of the company?"
Chen Qizong immediately said: "Both, Daddy, I know your worries, but don't worry, I will not let anger cover my eyes. I really feel that this plan is beneficial to our Hang Lung Properties."
Thought.
Of course, if according to this plan, we can surpass Chu Huan in the future, I will be even happier!"
Chen Zengxi nodded with satisfaction and said: "It's not enough to have this idea now. First we have to determine where we can find such a project if we really want to do it!"
Hearing what Chen Zengxi said, Chen Qizong immediately understood that his father was tempted!
"I have already thought about it. We cannot build Huaye City similar to Chu Huan's. First of all, the Huaye City project is based on those two factories. We do not have this condition, and the construction time of this project is too long.
If something goes wrong in the process, we won't be able to accept it.
So in my opinion, a better way is to acquire commercial buildings. If we can acquire well-known commercial buildings by then, it will not only increase our influence in Hang Lung, but even if we acquire them and there is no way to develop them for the time being, we can still collect rents.
, just like the Shaw Towers, at worst it can be sold again.”
Chen Zengxi nodded repeatedly, but at the same time asked: "Have you ever thought that at this time, the real estate companies in Xiangjiang are actually tightening their belts? If we choose to acquire the building at this time, they will definitely be like a lion.
If we open our mouths, the price we have to pay may be greater than usual!"
Chen Qizong had a different idea and said: "That's not necessarily the case. Just like what you said, father, all the real estate companies in Xiangjiang are tightening their belts, but it is exactly like this that they need more people."
If we show up at this time, we can use this condition to suppress their housing prices!"
Chen Zengxi showed admiration again and asked: "You have said so much, do you have any specific goals?"
Chen Qizong hurriedly said: "Yihe, Land, Golden Gate Tower!"
Chen Zengxi was noncommittal and said: "Yihe's reputation is indeed enough, but why is it the Golden Gate Building? Instead of the more famous Prince's Building and Lishan Building?"
Chen Qizong analyzed: "I have just thought about it. When I talked with Michael Keswick before, I learned that Jardine has always had the idea to connect several of its buildings in Central into one, and the Prince's Building has historically
Shan Building, etc. are within this area.
On the contrary, the Golden Gate Tower is dispensable in the hands of Land and Land. The most important thing is that the Golden Gate Tower is cheaper than other buildings!"
Chen Zengxi showed a pleased expression and said: "Azong, you have grown up!"
Chen Qizong knew that Chen Zengxi agreed with his idea by saying this, so he asked Chen Zengxi excitedly: "Daddy, do you mean you agree?"
Chen Zengxi nodded slightly and said with a smile: "This method is indeed good, but now there are two problems. The first is whether Land Land is willing to sell the Golden Gate Building, and the second is whether we can buy this building.
Money!”
Chen Qizong thought about it seriously, and then said confidently: "I believe that as long as the price is right, Land will definitely be willing to sell the Golden Gate Building. After all, this building is not that important to them. As for the funds...
.”
After a moment of silence, Chen Qizong said: "You can ask Zhang Mingyi for help on this matter. Although Overseas Trust suffered heavy losses in Xiangjiang, there is still no problem with the basic market in Southeast Asia, and we can use the Hang Lung Center and Parkview Commercial in our hands."
The center and others have proposed a mortgage to the overseas trust, and I think they will agree!"
Chen Zengxi shook his head and said: "Just thinking about it is not enough. The most important thing is that although overseas trusts can provide these funds, the impact on them will definitely be greater, because if they are not handled well, their bank deposits and loans will be revealed.
The ratio is too high, which has triggered a wave of squeezes. I believe Zhang Mingyi can definitely see this.
So it’s not that easy to impress them!”
Chen Qizong was a little confused about what Chen Zengxi meant at this time. According to Chen Zengxi's attitude just now, the other party agreed to this plan, but why is there such a problem now?
Chen Zengxi smiled, obviously seeing through Chen Qizong's thoughts, and said: "Your plan is good, and I appreciate it very much, but not every good plan can be implemented. There are too many problems that need to be solved.
, and what you have to do is to find a way to solve these problems now!"
Chen Qizong understood what his father meant this time. It was not that he disagreed with this matter, but there were still many problems that needed to be solved.
"Then I understand. Tomorrow I will make an appointment with Zhang Chengzhong and Michael Keswick alone to discuss this matter and try to find a solution to these problems!"
Chen Zengxi nodded appreciatively, then stood up and said with a smile: "Since you already know how to solve this matter now, I have nothing to say."
After finishing speaking, Chen Zengxi left the study and returned to his bedroom.
Although he is still in the prime of life, cultivating the next generation has been put on Chen Zengxi's agenda. Didn't you see that in the Huaye City project in cooperation with Chu Huan, Guo Desheng launched Guo Bingxiang and Zheng Yutong launched Zheng Jiachun!
All they care about is cultivating their next generation, and this is what Chen Zengxi is doing now.
However, some things should be done. After Chen Zengxi returned to his room, he did not fall asleep immediately, but dialed a phone number.
"Director Zhang, I am Chen Zengxi from Hang Lung Properties. Do we have time to meet?"
There are too many funds involved in this matter. Even if Chen Zengxi wants to train Chen Qizong, he cannot really let Chen Qizong take charge of it alone.
So he still has to take action in this matter personally!
Chen Qizong didn't know this, so after talking to Chen Zengxi, he returned to the Peninsula Hotel.
As a result, as soon as I entered the suite I booked, I saw the girl I paid for, playing poker with other men in the room I paid for...
