This is the most ordinary day in Xiangjiang. Those who should go to work go to work, those who should go to school go to school, and those who should find a wife are looking for a wife...
Anyway, there is no difference between Hong Kong today and in the past.
But today is not ordinary for reporters in Xiangjiang, because they once again received a notice from Hang Lung Real Estate that in the morning, their company will announce something major.
Hang Lung Properties, which has just completed the Golden Gate Tower transaction with Land, what other big announcements can it make?
And looking at Hang Lung Real Estate’s high profile, this matter must be of great benefit to Hang Lung Real Estate!
So what exactly is going on?
Could it be that Hang Lung Properties has completed another major project deal?
But can the other party have so much money?
Or do they have any new development plans?
Everyone came to the Hang Lung Center with this or that kind of speculation, and saw an energetic Chen Qizong sitting there.
During this period, Chen Qizong's presence in the eyes of the Hong Kong media was very high, either in an exclusive interview in this newspaper or in a speech in that newspaper.
Occasionally, I will go on TV and talk about my success story!
If we talk about fame alone, it has surpassed Chu Huan, who has been a little quiet during this period.
And through Chen Qizong’s continuous performances during this period, the title of the second person in the younger generation of Xiangjiang has been firmly established!
There is no way, no one can shake Chu Huan's reputation in Xiangjiang at this time.
Chen Qizong sat there with high spirits, looking down at the reporters sitting opposite him. He knew how important what he was about to announce would be and what kind of sensation it would cause.
He was somewhat looking forward to seeing the reactions of those reporters later.
When all the media in Xiangjiang had arrived, Chen Qizong finally announced the reason for holding this press conference!
"For some special reasons, Hang Lung Real Estate decided to terminate its cooperation with overseas trust banks!"
One stone stirred up a thousand waves, and the reporters at the scene were all confused.
Previously, Hang Lung Properties was able to acquire Land's Golden Gate Tower. Although the specific details were not disclosed, everyone knew that Hang Lung Properties at that time definitely did not have so much cash, and with the addition of overseas trusts, everyone also knew that,
Hang Lung Properties must have received support from overseas trusts to have so much cash.
In other words, Hang Lung Real Estate received the help of overseas trusts before and achieved its current achievements.
But just a few days after this incident, Hang Lung Properties actually terminated its cooperation with overseas trusts.
That’s not the way to burn bridges across rivers!
While everyone was stunned, Gu Chengxi from "True News" had already asked his own question.
"Mr. Chen, is the reason why Hang Lung Real Estate announced the termination of cooperation with Overseas Trust Bank because Overseas Trust has become a partner with Jiahu Textile?"
"What?"
Chen Qizong, who was sitting on the stage, was suddenly stunned. He suspected that he had heard wrongly.
Not only Chen Qizong, but also reporters from other newspapers looked at Gu Chengxi with doubts at this time. However, they all knew that "True News" had a very good relationship with Chu Huan, so it should be very important for Gu Chengxi to tell this at this time.
Maybe it's true.
It’s just that no one got the news before!
Gu Chengxi said: "Just this morning, Jiahu Textile and Overseas Trust Bank have signed a five-year cooperation agreement. In the next five years, all financial transactions of Jiahu Textile except Huhua Real Estate will be made through overseas trust banks."
Trust’s bank account.”
Buzz!!!!
The press conference suddenly became noisy. No one expected to hear news about Jiahu Textile and Overseas Trust while attending the press conference of Hang Lung Properties.
Although Jiahu Textile itself cannot be compared with Hang Lung Real Estate, with the disclosure of denim air textile technology, Jiahu Textile has become the first echelon of Xiangjiang's textile industry. Coupled with the soon-to-be-established Qingjin Garment, it is even more...
Jiahu Textile has added a lot to its valuation.
This is definitely big news!
Seeing that his home stadium was about to be the scene where Gu Chengxi announced the news for Chu Huan, Chen Qizong immediately said: "The dissolution of the cooperative relationship between Hang Lung Properties and Overseas Trust has nothing to do with the cooperation between Overseas Trust and Jiahu Textile.
It was decided entirely out of business considerations!”
A reporter from Oriental Daily immediately asked: "Mr. Chen, if Hang Lung Properties terminates cooperation with overseas trusts, how should Hang Lung Properties' previous loans from overseas trusts be handled?"
Although Hang Lung Properties has not announced the number of loans it has with overseas trusts, everyone knows that it definitely exists.
Chen Qizong did not conceal this matter and said directly: "Loans are also normal business practices, and our loan project with Overseas Trust will not expire in two years, so this matter is not under our control now."
It’s under consideration!”
After hearing what Chen Qizong said, many reporters present immediately came to the conclusion, isn't Hang Lung Real Estate just trying to burn bridges by crossing the river?
Looking at the expressions of many reporters present, Chen Qizong understood what they were thinking and said directly: "During the cooperation with overseas trusts, Hang Lung Properties has always strictly abide by the terms of cooperation between both parties. The responsibility for the termination of this cooperation does not lie with Hang Lung Properties!"
"
Is there any inside story?
If it’s not with Hang Lung Properties, it’s naturally with Overseas Trust.
Reporters asked questions one after another, but Chen Qizong did not give a specific reason.
Seeing this, everyone could not get an answer in this regard, so they could only continue with new questions.
But I already have the answer in my mind, it must be the relationship between Overseas Trust and Jiahu Textile.
There have long been rumors in Xiangjiang that the relationship between the Chen family and Chu Huan is not very good.
“Without the cooperative relationship with overseas trusts, will Hang Lung Properties’ future development projects encounter financial problems?”
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! A reporter from "Sing Pao" asked.
This is another major event that everyone is paying attention to. The current market situation of Xiangjiang real estate industry has shown that if you want to raise funds by issuing new shares, you have to wait until at least the end of the year or the New Year. Then there is another way for real estate companies to raise funds.
It's about cooperation with banks.
But the current situation is that due to the sluggishness of real estate stocks, banks in Xiangjiang have tightened their lending policies for real estate companies. Before, Hang Lung Real Estate was lucky to get the support of overseas trusts. Now the other party has just given up on a bank.
support.
This is an operation they cannot understand.
Chen Qizong proudly said: "Regarding this, everyone sitting here or investors in Xiangjiang can rest assured that the development of Hang Lung Real Estate is very smooth. It is precisely because of this that it has received the support of a top bank in Xiangjiang.
, now all we have to do is sign the document, and I believe everyone will know the name of this bank soon!"
boom!!!!!
Noisy voices appeared at the scene again. Although Chen Qizong did not say the name of the other party, looking at Chen Qizong's expression and Hang Lung Real Estate's ability to give up cooperation with overseas trusts and instead cooperate with this bank whose name has not yet been announced, it can
Guess, the strength of this bank must be the best in Hong Kong.
HSBC?
The first thing everyone guessed was this super bank with a century-old history in Hong Kong.
Standard Chartered?
Hang Seng?
East Asia?
Which one is it?
The scene became chaotic, and people asked Chen Qizong which bank he belonged to.
But at this time, Chen Qizong just said with a proud face that everyone will know which bank it is as soon as noon today or tonight at the latest!
Reporters on the scene expressed their disdain for Chen Qizong's betrayal!
In this case, why not wait until everything is confirmed before holding this press conference!
Then Chen Qizong talked about some issues about the future development direction of Hang Lung Properties and stopped today's reception!
Many reporters left the scene helplessly.
Soon, the content of the press conference spread among the upper echelons of Xiangjiang. As for ordinary Xiangjiang citizens, they did not have so many means of transmitting information at this time. Hang Lung’s reception today did not involve the participation of TV stations, so naturally there was no way to do so on a large scale.
spread.
However, I believe that after the evening editions of major newspapers are released this afternoon, the news will spread throughout Hong Kong immediately.
Those who knew about it on a small scale fell into silence at this time.
The dissolution of cooperation between Hang Lung Properties and Overseas Trust was originally a blow to the share price of Hang Lung Properties. However, Chen Qizong also stated that Hang Lung Properties had cooperated with a bank that was more powerful than Overseas Trust. This made those who held Hang Lung Properties stocks unaware.
What to do.
Is it a sell-off?
Or should we check the situation first?
In the end, everyone decided to take a look at the situation first.
The situation at Overseas Trust is different. According to normal business logic, if Overseas Trust loses Hang Lung as a customer, the stock price will definitely fall, especially since the other party must have loaned money to Hang Lung before. Will this cause their losses?
What about cash problems?
But everyone who knows the news also knows that Overseas Trust has actually reached a cooperative relationship with Jiahu Textile.
There's nothing to worry about.
Compared to Hang Lung Properties, investors are more willing to believe in Chu Huan’s vision!
Therefore, the stock price of Overseas Trust was also not affected.
At this time, in the office of the chairman of Overseas Trust, Zhang Mingyi learned from his secretary the stock price of Overseas Trust.
"Is the cooperation with Chu Huan a success or failure?"
Zhang Mingyi did not expect that Hang Lung Properties would hold a press conference in advance, and he did not expect that the other party would contact the new bank so quickly.
But now everything is on the line. Since he chose to cooperate with Chu Huan, now he can only bite the bullet and go on!
Zhang Mingyi thought silently in his heart, then looked at his secretary and asked: "Are there any large withdrawals of money in each branch?"
Now that Chu Huan told him that the plan has not been carried out yet, Zhang Mingyi can only continue to wait passively, but during this waiting process, he also needs to care about his own affairs.
Since the stock price of Overseas Trust has not been affected by this incident, the only thing Zhang Mingyi needs to worry about now is whether there will be a squeeze on the branch counter.
The secretary replied: "No, I just had a phone call with the managers of each branch, and there was nothing unusual!"
After receiving this answer, Zhang Mingyi finally put the big stone in his heart to the ground.
There is naturally cooperation between Zhang Mingyi and Chu Huan, but conflicts between the two are also normal.
Zhang Mingyi told Chen Zengxi before that what Chen Qizong and his son said was not a lie, that is, in the face of interests, nothing cannot be sold.
It is certainly not Zhang Chengzhong's decision to cooperate with Hang Lung Properties on such a large project. It is also not Zhang Chengzhong's decision to abandon the cooperation between Hang Lung Properties and overseas trusts and instead cooperate with Chu Huan's Jiahu Textile.
It can be said that Zhang Mingyi has been involved in this matter since Zhang Chengzhong returned to Xiangjiang and revealed the big project to Chen Qizong and Michael Keswick as if by accident.
"Let's see now whether Chu Huan can maintain his winning record, or whether Heng Lung can rise strongly!"
Now that the treasure has been placed on Chu Huan, Zhang Mingyi naturally hopes that Chu Huan can continue to maintain the invincible results in the past!
In the face of interests, all the bumps and bruises in the past are no longer a problem here!
And now Chu Huan has actually boarded a plane to New York!
Not many people in Xiangjiang know about this matter.
However, at this time, not many people paid attention to Chu Huan. Everyone's attention was still on Hang Lung Real Estate and Overseas Trust.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Hang Lung Center!
After holding the press conference, Chen Qizong went straight to Chen Zengxi's office.
"Did you get a call from Overseas Trust?"
Chen Zengxi looked a little gloomy. He already knew the contents of the press conference just before Chen Qizong came back.
What makes Chen Zengxi the most angry is that Zhang Mingyi and Chu Huan have already cooperated with each other. Otherwise, the press conference here has not started yet, how could the cooperation be completed over there!
But now, as their father and son talked last night, why did Zhang Mingyi do this?
If there was no project for Hang Lung Properties to acquire Golden Gate Tower, then Chen Zengxi could understand. After all, the situation of Hang Lung Properties at that time was not optimistic. Hopewell Properties had already begun to turn around with the help of the Huaye City project, and Hang Lung Properties became a victim of the stock market crash.
It is the real estate company that has been hit the hardest.
However, with the success of Hang Lung Properties' acquisition of the Golden Gate Tower, Hang Lung Properties' stock price also began to rise, transforming from the company that suffered the most to the company that benefited the most.
Seeing that Hang Lung Properties is about to skyrocket again, why do overseas trusts still do this?
"Dad, I heard from my secretary on the way here that our company's stock price has not been affected. At the same time, I also told him to keep an eye on the stock market and notify me immediately if there are any large transactions!"
Chen Qizong preached.
Chen Zengxi nodded. Judging from the current situation, the two sides must be playing a game. Chu Huan and Zhang Mingyi would not have thought that they could contact a bank larger than Overseas Trust so quickly.
If they had not contacted the bank, then today it would not be Hang Lung Real Estate announcing the termination of its partnership with Overseas Trust, but rather Overseas Trust announcing the termination of its partnership with Hang Lung Properties.
If this is the case, without the support of banks, Hang Lung Real Estate will not have any liquidity in their hands after the last tranche of liquidity is spent. This will definitely be the cruelest blow to Hang Lung Real Estate.
At that time, the share price of Hang Lung Properties will fall like a waterfall again, and Chu Huan and Zhang Mingyi can take advantage of this opportunity to conduct a hostile takeover of Hang Lung Properties!
This is the only explanation Chen Zengxi can think of!
"Very good, keep an eye on the stock market. This time I will make their plan completely fail!" Chen Zengxi said viciously after thinking that he had figured everything out.
"If you want my Hang Lung Real Estate, you can only walk over my corpse!"
Chen Qizong was startled by his father's momentum, but then he said: "Daddy, don't worry, I believe Chu Huan and the others will not make any move at this time."
Chen Qizong also understood what Chen Zengxi was thinking. In the past, Chu Huan and Zhang Mingyi did not know that they had contacted Standard Chartered Bank, so they had a series of plans. Although it has not been announced to the outside world, the cooperation between Hang Lung Real Estate and Standard Chartered Bank
It has been revealed by Chen Qizong just now.
"I believe that after Chu Huan and Zhang Mingyi learned that we had cooperated with Standard Chartered Bank, they must have regretted it very much now, especially Zhang Mingyi, who abandoned our Hang Lung Real Estate and chose to cooperate with Chu Huan's Jiahu Textile. This is simply
I just don’t know what it means!”
Having said this, Chen Qizong showed a proud expression, and at the same time looked at Chen Zengxi with an expression full of admiration. Fortunately, his father had an extra hand, otherwise, Chu Huan would really have taken advantage of him this time.
Chen Zengxi raised his forehead slightly and said: "It's going to rain and my mother is going to get married. Since Zhang Mingyi has chosen a wrong path, don't blame us!"
After sighing, Chen Zengxi said to Chen Qizong: "If you continue to stay in the company, I will go to Standard Chartered Bank again. If Chu Huan and the others choose to take action at this time, I can directly ask for cash from Standard Chartered Bank!"
In Chen Zengxi's view, nothing has been finalized yet. Chu Huan is very likely to take action at this time. He wants to prevent any accidents that may happen!
Chen Qizong nodded and said: "Okay, I will keep an eye on the situation here!"
Chen Zengxi left Hang Lung Center and went straight to the headquarters of Standard Chartered Bank!
...
Rumors spread quickly, and the news quickly reached Zhang Mingyi's ears.
Zhang Mingyi, who felt that his choice was right before, was indeed a little nervous at this time.
Because the conditions for him to reach cooperation with Chu Huan were actually what Chen Zengxi and Chen Qizong had analyzed before.
His goal has never been to cooperate with Jiahu Textile, but to help Chu Huan obtain Hang Lung Real Estate, and then cooperate not only with Jiahu Textile, but also with Hang Lung Real Estate, which has already been acquired by Chu Huan.
As for the detailed operation, it was exactly what Chen Zengxi had judged.
With the help of the first cooperation between Overseas Trust and Hang Lung Real Estate, all the liquidity of Hang Lung Real Estate was mobilized. When the two parties terminated the cooperation, they used this news to impact Hang Lung Real Estate and turned to Hang Lung Real Estate attacked by Chu Huan!
It’s not that Zhang Mingyi didn’t do his own little tricks. Chen Zengxi and his son were only paying attention to the stock trading of Hang Lung Properties in recent times, but in fact Zhang Mingyi had already used retail investors to acquire some of the shares of Hang Lung Properties in advance.
I believe that as long as Chu Huan launches a takeover war for Hang Lung Real Estate, Hang Lung Real Estate's stock price will definitely soar again. At that time, whether he sells the Hang Lung Real Estate shares he holds to Chu Huan or keeps them in his hands, it will all matter.
It is a high-quality asset!
But now suddenly there is news that Hang Lung Real Estate has contacted Standard Chartered Bank. If this news is true, then Hang Lung's stock price will definitely not be affected, and the plan he previously agreed with Chu Huan will naturally be
There is no way to proceed.
Although the Hang Lung Properties shares in his hands have appreciated a lot, there is still a big gap between Zhang Chengzhong's goals and his goals.
So at this time, Zhang Mingyi couldn't sit still.
First, he called Chu Huan's office in Jiahu Building, but the news he got made Zhang Mingyi a little angry.
"Sorry, our chairman is not in the company because he has important matters to deal with!"
Xu Yi's voice came from the other side of the phone.
Zhang Mingyi suppressed the anger in his heart that he couldn't find Chu Huan, and asked: "Where did Chu Huan go at such a critical time?"
Xu Yi said: "I'm sorry, our chairman didn't tell me!"
Zhang Mingyi hung up the phone angrily. He really couldn't understand that Chu Huan was not in the company at such a critical moment?
After thinking for a while, Zhang Mingyi immediately called his secretary: "Prepare a car and go to Fengwu Securities!"
Since you can't find Chu Huan, then go find Cao Yunshang!
The secretary immediately prepared a car, and soon Zhang Mingyi came to Fengwu Securities and met Cao Yunshang.
"At such a critical moment, where did Chu Huan go?"
After seeing Cao Yunshang, Zhang Mingyi asked directly.
Cao Yunshang sat there, looked at Zhang Mingyi with a smile and said, "Why is Director Zhang so restless!"
Zhang Mingyi sat on the sofa and said angrily: "Am I unable to calm down? Chu Huan told me well before that we can use this opportunity to hope to get Hang Lung Real Estate, but now, Hang Lung Real Estate has contacted me
Standard Chartered Bank, if I had known this would be the result, I should not have agreed to Chu Huan's cooperation in the first place."
Cao Yunshang stood up with a smile, and then sat opposite Zhang Mingyi.
"Director Zhang, Hang Lung Real Estate was able to get in touch with Standard Chartered Bank so quickly. Do you think this happened just today?
Obviously after you completed the cooperation, Chen Zengxi has been secretly contacting Standard Chartered Bank, which means that regardless of whether there is cooperation between us or not, Chen Zengxi actually has the idea of kicking out overseas trusts."
Cao Yunshang's words made Zhang Mingyi speechless because he knew what Cao Yunshang said was correct.
Such a major cooperation cannot be negotiated overnight.
Damn it, none of these people are good!
"Then we should take action now before the news is made public. Only in this way can we catch Chen Zengxi off guard and hopefully acquire Hang Lung Real Estate as Chu Huan said!"
Zhang Mingyi preached angrily.
Cao Yunshang was unmoved and said calmly: "Director Zhang, do you really think it is a good time to take action under this situation? Since Chen Zengxi already knows about the relationship between our two families, he will definitely take action.
Yes, I am sure that Chen Zengxi must be in Standard Chartered Bank at this time. If we take action at this time, we will inevitably encounter a crazy counterattack by the other party, and then this plan will still fail!"
Zhang Mingyi said dissatisfiedly: "Are we just sitting like this now and doing nothing?"
Cao Yunshang spread his hands and said: "Looking at this matter now, it can only be like this!"
Facing Cao Yunshang's attitude, Zhang Mingyi was speechless again.
Upon seeing this, Cao Yunshang continued: "Director Zhang, let's not speak secretly. I know that you must have secretly acquired part of the shares of Hang Lung Real Estate. You want to take advantage of Chu Huan to start the battle to acquire Hang Lung Real Estate.
Make a fortune by buying low and selling high.”
Zhang Mingyi didn't show any surprise because he was exposed by Cao Yunshang, so naturally he didn't feel embarrassed.
"How is it?"
Cao Yunshang smiled and said: "I just want to remind Director Zhang that even without Chu Huan's acquisition war for Hang Lung Real Estate, if Hang Lung Real Estate's stock price rises this time, you have actually made a profit, so why bother to spend the last one?"
Did you earn any cents?"
Zhang Mingyi snorted coldly and said: "It's easy to say, anyway, you didn't have any losses, but I completely fell out with Chen Zengxi!"
Cao Yunshang said calmly: "Director Zhang, you are a bit unreasonable. The two of us have just reached a consensus. Even without our participation, Chen Zengxi will find a way to kick your overseas trust out of the game.
, now you are able to make a fortune by purchasing the shares of Hang Lung Properties in advance, this is already our credit."
"I've told you all the good things to say, now that I have stocks, I might as well have cash!" Zhang Mingyi said still angrily.
Cao Yunshang asked aloud: "I wonder how many Hang Lung Properties shares Director Zhang has in his hands now?"
Zhang Mingyi said directly: "30 million!"
Cao Yunshang gave a thumbs up, "Director Zhang is indeed a generous person. He previously loaned 180 million Hong Kong dollars to Hang Lung Properties, and now he has bought more than 10 million Hong Kong dollars in shares of Hang Lung Properties. It's amazing!"
"It's 30 million!" Zhang Mingyi corrected.
Cao Yunshang smiled: "Director Zhang, it's time now, so don't talk about this anymore. I know you are talking about the value of Hang Lung Real Estate's current stock price, but when you made the acquisition, it must not have been so much!"
Zhang Mingyi snorted coldly and said, "So what?"
Cao Yunshang smiled and said: "Brother Huan told me that if Director Zhang wants to sell his Hang Lung Properties shares, since we already have a cooperative relationship with Director Zhang, we are willing to pay the money!"
Zhang Mingyi's eyes flashed with joy. At this time, it was more appropriate to have cash than stocks, but he thought of Chu Huan's character.
"You haven't made a move until now. Could it be that you are worried about the Hang Lung Properties shares in my hands?"
Cao Yunshang spread his hands and said: "Director Zhang really misunderstood our good intentions. You know the current situation. It is impossible to acquire Hang Lung Real Estate at this time. In this case, this time
The takeover war will definitely not start. To put it bluntly, the stocks in your hands are actually of no use to us.
The reason why we still propose the acquisition is entirely because you and I are now in a cooperative relationship, and Brother Huan also said that Director Zhang suffered some losses in the matter of Jiahu Textile. We just want to take advantage of this.
This is just an opportunity to make up for Director Zhang’s losses!”
Zhang Mingyi said coldly: "Do you still have plans to continue to be a player in Hang Lung Real Estate?"
It is now impossible to acquire Hang Lung Real Estate, but Zhang Mingyi believes that Chu Huan will not give up just like that, so purchasing the shares of Hang Lung Properties in his hands at this time is actually a plan for the future!
Well, that’s what Zhang Mingyi thinks.
Cao Yunshang said nonchalantly: "It depends on what Director Zhang thinks!"
"Okay, I'll sell!" Zhang Mingyi did not hesitate for too long on this matter!
"Okay, I will have someone draft the documents now and notify the lawyer to arrive!" Cao Yunshang said calmly.
Zhang Mingyi just snorted coldly.
Soon, Luo Decheng rushed to the scene, and of course Zhang Mingyi's lawyer also arrived. After carefully looking at the document, Zhang Mingyi signed his name on the document.
"Congratulations to Director Zhang for making a big fortune again!" Cao Yunshang said with a smile.
