Although Zhang Mingyi did not go to hell, he lost an opportunity to make a fortune!
Just after Zhang Mingyi completed the contract with Cao Yunshang, he returned to Overseas Trust.
"The turmoil outside has nothing to do with me. Although Chu Huan did not plot to become Hang Lung Real Estate this time, his ability and influence are still there, especially the transformation of Jiahu Textile into the clothing business. He is a masterstroke. In the future,
There is nothing bad for Overseas Trust in cooperating with Jiahu Textile!"
Sitting in his office chair, Zhang Mingyi thought so.
But at this moment, Zhang Mingyi's secretary rushed in, with a panicked look on his face. It was obvious at a glance that something big had happened!
In fact, this is not only the case with Zhang Mingyi, but also in other places.
For example, Standard Chartered Bank!
Located in the Taipan Office of Standard Chartered Bank in Des Voeux Road, Central!
Unlike HSBC's public listed company, Standard Chartered Bank is still under the control of the Sanderson family at this time. At the same time, Standard Chartered Bank is a British listed company, not a Hong Kong listed company.
Now those who are in charge of Standard Chartered Bank's Asian business are basically descendants of the Sanderson family, which is similar to British banks such as Jardine Matheson.
Today, the chief executive at the headquarters of Standard Chartered Bank in Hong Kong is also a direct descendant of the Sanderson family.
Sanderson is receiving Chen Zengxi. He values Sanderson and Hang Lung Properties very much. Although the real estate market in Xiangjiang is not good now, anyone with a discerning eye can see that with the sunset of the manufacturing industry, the pillar industry in Xiangjiang will definitely be in the future.
Real estate industry.
Although Standard Chartered does not believe that one Hang Lung will allow them to catch up with HSBC, with the cooperation of Hang Lung Properties, Standard Chartered will be able to form partnerships with more Xiangjiang real estate developers.
This is just the beginning!
"Chen, don't worry. With our endorsement from Standard Chartered Bank, the share price of Hang Lung Properties will definitely soar!"
Sanderson, who is in his 30s, is the age for pioneering and enterprising. At this time, as the president of Standard Chartered Bank's Asia Department, he is naturally very domineering!
Chen Zengxi smiled and complimented: "Of course I know this, and we, Hang Lung Real Estate, are very happy to be able to cooperate with Standard Chartered Bank!"
"That's right!" Sanderson laughed.
Chen Zengxi said: "Mr. Sanderson, can we sign the contract now?"
Talk without proof, put pen to paper to prove it!
Chen Zengxi still wants to finalize the cooperation with Standard Chartered Bank as soon as possible, so that he can publicly announce it in his exclusive interview on the wireless station tonight!
Sanderson smiled nonchalantly and said: "Don't be anxious, the terms of the contract must be compared slowly one by one, so that everything is foolproof!"
This was not because Sanderson was deliberately dragging Chen Zengxi away, but when Chen Zengxi originally contacted Sanderson, Sanderson did not expect that Chen Zengxi would choose to abandon the overseas trust so quickly.
However, this also gave Sanderson a reminder. When Chen Zengxi is cooperating with overseas trusts, he can contact Standard Chartered Bank. But what if he contacts HSBC when cooperating with himself?
So when the time comes, when Hang Lung Properties abandons Standard Chartered Bank, will it be as happy as when it abandoned overseas trusts before?
Therefore, within these cooperation treaties, Sanderson must have asked his legal team to think of all these things.
"Chen, you don't have to worry. I guarantee that our cooperation can be signed today and it won't delay your announcement on TV tonight!"
Sanderson knew that Chen Zengxi was going to announce their cooperation on the wireless station tonight.
Hearing Sanderson's assurance, Chen Zengxi breathed a sigh of relief.
"Then trouble Mr. Sanderson."
After Chen Zengxi first expressed his gratitude, he continued to ask: "What about my credit limit at Standard Chartered Bank?"
Now that the cooperation with Standard Chartered Bank has become a foregone conclusion, what Chen Zengxi is most concerned about now is his credit line with Standard Chartered Bank.
Because as long as he has this money, he no longer has to worry about Chu Huan sniping at him or making a hostile takeover!
Sanderson smiled and said: "Don't worry, as soon as the contract between us is signed, this credit line can be provided to you immediately."
"And we already have a cooperative relationship, so I personally guarantee you that as long as someone really takes action on Hang Lung Properties' stocks today, even if the contract is not generated, our Standard Chartered Bank will grant you a credit line!"
After hearing this, Chen Zengxi was completely no longer nervous.
As a result, at this moment, Sanderson's secretary rushed in directly.
Sanderson looked at the other party very dissatisfied and said: "What happened, are you so panicked?"
The secretary didn't care about Sanderson's attitude and said excitedly: "Electricity, TV!"
Seeing his secretary's situation, Sanderson's face changed slightly, and he understood that the other party would not be like this if something serious had not happened. He no longer held the secretary responsible, but signaled the other party to turn on the TV.
Chen Zengxi looked at the other party's expression, and his heart began to beat violently for no reason, because the current situation seemed familiar.
It's just that at that time, his secretary delivered a newspaper, but now Sanderson's secretary was talking about television!
What news is on TV?
Sanderson's secretary didn't even think about what Chen Zengxi was thinking, but immediately turned on the TV.
Then everyone in the office saw the news on TV.
As I have said before, October 16, 1973, is just an ordinary day in the eyes of many people.
But in fact today is not an ordinary day, because today, the Xth war of ZD broke out!
Watching the reporter mention this matter repeatedly on the TV news, the air pressure in the office instantly dropped to the extreme!
Chen Zengxi was the first to react, "Mr. Sanderson, I hope to speed up the cooperation between you and us. In addition, I need your bank's credit line for me now!"
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! The outbreak of this war happened so suddenly, and everyone suddenly understood that although this was a war far away from Hong Kong, it would still have an impact on Hong Kong’s stock market.
A major blow.
Because everyone understands that this war will bring unprecedented changes to the international oil market.
Some people have been talking about the oil crisis before, but in fact no one thinks that this thing is likely to happen, because in the eyes of many people, with the support of North America, the other side does not dare to really take action.
But now all these illusions are shattered!
The war actually happened like this!
And the oil crisis they talk about will definitely happen, which will cause the global economic market and energy market to experience a new reshuffle!
And such an impact is bound to backfire on Xiangjiang's stock market.
In other words, Xiangjiang will not only not be able to escape the impact of the stock market crash, but it will even worsen and extend the stock market crash because of this incident!
Hang Lung Properties just announced today that it will terminate its cooperation with overseas trusts. It also invested a huge amount of money to acquire the Golden Gate Tower of Land. Before this news came out, such behavior could be a booster for Hang Lung Properties' share price to soar, but now
It will become the death sickle that pushes Hang Lung Properties into the abyss!
Chen Zengxi understands this, and Sanderson naturally understands this too.
So when he faced Chen Zengxi, who was already confused, he had already made his own decision.
"Chen, what kind of cooperation? What kind of credit line? I can't understand what you're talking about?"
In the past, Standard Chartered chose to cooperate with Hang Lung because of Hang Lung's courage in acquiring the Golden Gate Tower this time. If nothing unexpected happens, Hang Lung Properties will become the first real estate company in Hong Kong to emerge from the stock market crash.
But everything has changed at this time. Because of the accident, Hang Lung Properties will not only not be the first real estate company to emerge from the stock market crash, but may also become the first real estate company in Hong Kong to fall into bankruptcy crisis due to the stock market crash!
Now that you know this is a trap!
Then Standard Chartered Bank naturally has no reason to jump into this pit.
So Sanderson refused very simply, which made Chen Zengxi doubt whether his previous chats and laughs with Sanderson were all fake!
"No, Mr. Sanderson, you can't do that. Hang Lung Properties is still a very high-quality real estate company. We also own many rental properties and properties to be developed!"
Sanderson shook his head and said: "Chen, you should think about how to pay for the project!"
At this time, Hang Lung Real Estate is like a domino about to collapse. Without the support of Standard Chartered Bank, Hang Lung Real Estate may not even be able to pay for the projects currently under construction.
And all of this did not exist before!
"Mr. Sanderson, I, I, I beg you, please help Hang Lung Real Estate, I can't lose him!"
Chen Zengxi has lost his face at this time, and he needs the support of Standard Chartered Bank.
Sanderson shook his head and said: "Chen, you'd better leave. We at Standard Chartered Bank have a lot to do now!"
The outbreak of this war will also change many of Standard Chartered Bank's previous arrangements.
After saying that, Sanderson immediately signaled his secretary to send Chen Zengxi out of his office.
At this time, Chen Zengxi is a god of plague, whoever touches him will die!
On the other side, Chen Qizong from Hang Lung Center also saw the news on TV at this time and stood there blankly. He felt cold all over and didn't know what to say.
Then Chen Qizong ran to the phone frantically. At this time, he could only look for his father. He hoped that his father had completed the contract with Standard Chartered Bank, because only in this way, Hang Lung would not have problems. Not only would they not have problems
It is even possible to seek better development in such opportunities.
But all this must be based on the fact that his father has completed the cooperation contract with Standard Chartered Bank.
But when he got through the phone and learned that his father had left Standard Chartered Bank in disappointment, Chen Zengxi squatted on the ground dejectedly.
"It's over, everything is over!"
I don’t know how long it took, but Chen Zengxi came back.
Chen Qizong, who was still squatting on the ground, saw Chen Zengxi coming back and immediately stepped forward, "Daddy, what should we do now?"
Chen Zengxi's face lost the panic expression at this time, "Why panic? The sky hasn't fallen yet!"
Seeing his father so calm, Chen Qizong was like a drowning man grasping at the last straw, "Daddy, have you already thought of a solution?"
Chen Zengxi said coldly: "Without the help of the bank, I, Chen Zengxi, still have friends. From now on, you have to keep an eye on the stock market for me all the time. As long as there is no movement in the stock market, our Hang Lung Properties will never be finished!"
Chen Qizong quickly cheered up and said, "I understand!"
Then Chen Qizong suddenly thought of Chu Huan and couldn't help but ask: "Daddy, do you think Chu Huan has already guessed this matter?"
"Do you think he is a god?" Chen Zengxi said angrily: "No one will know about this kind of thing except that damn madman!"
Chen Qizong suddenly realized that it had been said on TV before that this war broke out suddenly, and it could be said that there was no warning before.
Therefore, it is impossible for Chu Huan to know in advance.
...
Did Chu Huan really not know in advance?
Not only Chen Qizong had such suspicions, but Zhang Mingyi, who was sitting in the Overseas Trust Building at this time, also had such thoughts.
At this time, accompanied by his secretary, he was also watching the news on TV blankly. At this time, he no longer knew what words to use to describe his mood.
After a long time, Zhang Mingyi suddenly burst into laughter.
"Yeah!"
Zhang Mingyi has reason to be happy, because he also knows that the outbreak of this news will directly push Hang Lung Real Estate into the abyss. As for their overseas trust, because Hang Lung Real Estate unilaterally and publicly announced today that it has terminated the cooperation, their overseas trust
Trust escaped the disaster and was not implicated by Hang Lung!
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! How could Zhang Mingyi not feel happy about the feeling of escaping from death!
But after laughing, Zhang Mingyi picked up the teacup next to him with an angry look and threw it to the ground.
"Damn it, damn it!"
Zhang Mingyi has reason to be angry, and he is very angry, because with this news, Hang Lung's stock price is bound to fall to the bottom again, not only the bottom, but also a fucking abyss!
Then Chu Huan's desire to acquire Hang Lung Real Estate will be put on the table again, but he has already sold his shares in Hang Lung Real Estate to Cao Yunshang!
This kind of thing makes Zhang Mingyi extremely angry!
After getting angry, Zhang Mingyi immediately lectured his secretary.
"Immediately, contact Hang Lung Real Estate and tell them that they must pay off our loan within five days, otherwise our overseas trust will apply for enforcement!"
"In addition, an announcement was made at the same time, saying that our Overseas Trust has signed a contract with Jiahu Textile and has become a formal strategic partnership!"
Even though the hatred for Chu Huan in his heart was overwhelming at this time, Zhang Mingyi also understood that although Hang Lung Real Estate had unilaterally announced the termination of the cooperative relationship with him, it was undeniable that they had indeed given loans to
Hang Lung Properties.
If Hang Lung Properties fails, their loan will inevitably become a bad debt. If this is the case, it is likely to cause panic among savers.
So at this time, Zhang Mingyi must use the Jiahu Textile incident to appease overseas trust depositors!
"Also, also, I don't care where that bastard Zhang Chengzhong is, I want him to fly back to Xiangjiang immediately."
Facing Zhang Mingyi's series of orders, the secretary did not dare to ask any questions and immediately turned around and went to do it!
After the secretary left, Zhang Mingyi sat there blankly.
"So, did Chu Huan know about this in advance?"
Zhang Mingyi once again asked this kind of question that hit his soul.
However, Zhang Mingyi immediately denied this possibility.
"No, it's impossible for Chu Huan to know this kind of thing in advance. So, Chu Huan is simply lucky? Even God is helping him?"
There is no way to doubt that Zhang Mingyi came up with such a metaphysical answer. In fact, it is impossible for Chu Huan, a person far away in Xiangjiang, to know in advance.
So the conclusion we can draw is that Chu Huan is so lucky.
He is simply the chosen one, isn’t he?
...
Chu Huan himself didn't know whether he was the chosen one, because Tai was still on the plane at this time, enjoying the service of the stewardess.
At this time, the commotion on the ground has no way of disturbing him!
...
Fengwu Securities!
Liu Zhiyuan and Chen Tao found Cao Yunshang and were looking at Cao Yunshang nervously, hoping to get the information they wanted from Cao Yunshang.
In fact, it was not just Zhang Mingyi who was secretly acquiring shares of Hang Lung Properties. Chu Huan also did this when he learned about the existence of the Avengers Alliance.
The specific operation was actually carried out by Liu Zhiyuan and Chen Tao.
It’s just that this process is very long and not very fast, so up to now Chu Huan has only used retail investors to acquire 2.6% of Hang Lung Properties’ shares!
Now that this situation occurs, Hang Lung Real Estate's stock price will fall directly to the bottom. Liu Zhiyuan and Chen Tao both hope that Chu Huan can take action at this time.
Hang Lung Real Estate is different from Jiahu Textile. At its peak, Jiahu Textile's market value was only about one billion Hong Kong dollars, but now if Chu Huan can get Hang Lung Real Estate in his hands, it will be really different.
This will once again be recorded in the business history of Hong Kong and deserves to be highlighted!
Liu Zhiyuan and Chen Tao want to be written into this history as specific participants!
But Cao Yunshang's answer was destined to disappoint them.
"Don't take action yet, let's wait until Brother Huan shows up to talk about everything!"
After receiving Cao Yunshang's answer, Liu Zhiyuan said impatiently: "Boss, now is the best time to acquire Hang Lung Real Estate!"
Even Chen Tao couldn't help but said: "Yes, if Chen Zengxi uses this time to raise more funds, then all our efforts will be wasted!"
Cao Yunshang couldn't help but smile bitterly.
In fact, she wanted to take action at this time, but she couldn't.
Because she and Chu Huan no longer have that much cash in their hands.
Previously, Chu Huan had used the mental damage fees given by the three major newspapers to purchase the stocks of Sun Hung Kai, New World, and Hopewell Properties. But now the purchase of Hang Lung Properties' stocks is still the 10 million reserve fund that Chu Huan left behind.
!
As for the 30 million cash used for the Hang Lung Real Estate acquired from Overseas Trust today, it was Chu Huan who mobilized funds from "Fantasy Comics" to get it.
Although several companies still have a lot of liquidity at this time, since Chu Huan can think of letting Hang Lung Real Estate use up all his liquidity in advance during this blow, Chu Huan will not make such a mistake.
So Chu Huan really doesn't have much cash in his hands now.
But Cao Yunshang immediately said: "Don't worry, Brother Huan's life is very good, so I believe that Brother Huan will succeed this time. Just wait for Brother Huan to show up!"
At this time, it was definitely impossible for Cao Yunshang to tell Chu Huan about going to New York.
But at this time, Cao Yunshang, Chen Zengxi and Zhang Mingyi also thought that Chu Huan was too lucky!
Cao Yunshang knew more than Zhang Mingyi and Chen Zengxi. He knew that Chu Huan had begun to arrange oil spot prices early, and he also knew that Chu Huan had analyzed that there must be a battle between OPEC and the seven major oil companies.
Cao Yunshang can understand these things, because as long as you focus on it, it is possible to analyze such results.
But what really makes Cao Yunshang think that Chu Huan's life is good is the time when this news happened.
Like everyone else, Cao Yunshang firmly did not believe that Chu Huan could know about the news in advance, so now the news suddenly broke out at this time.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Then the only possibility is one point.
That means Chu Huan is too lucky!
Other than that, there is no other explanation!
When Liu Zhiyuan and Chen Tao saw this, they had no choice but to leave.
From today on, everyone is paying attention to what impact this war will have on the economy.
And the impact is really happening.
The next day, OPEC issued a statement stating that starting from today, it would reduce oil production by 5% every month and threatened a complete embargo!
Another thing that alarms everyone even more is that OPEC announced that the price of oil will be raised directly from the original US$3.01 per barrel to US$10 per barrel!
As soon as these two news came out, the global energy market and stock market were all affected.
The most intuitive manifestation is that the Hong Kong Hang Seng Index, which had initially improved, fell again. Because it had no more room to fall, the degree of decline was not very high.
But this was like the straw that broke the camel's back, plunging the whole of Hong Kong into a huge panic again.
The stock prices of all companies fell again at half discounts!
It’s just that the current situation is that all orders are selling and there are no buying orders at all.
At this time, the Hong Kong stock market is like a pool of stagnant water, without any ripples!
Chen Qizong dragged his tired body towards Chen Zengxi's office. If there is any good news among all the bad news, it is that there has been no block trading in Hang Lung Properties' stocks.
In other words, Chu Huan has not made any move to acquire Hang Lung Properties so far.
And even more fortunately, tomorrow is Friday. As long as we survive tomorrow, the stock market in Xiangjiang will have a two-day break, and I can take a breather.
When he walked into his father's office, he was shocked by what he saw!
His father, Chen Zengxi, turned gray overnight!
"Daddy!"
Chen Qizong spoke in a complicated tone.
Chen Zengxi waved his hand and asked: "How is the stock market going?"
Chen Qizong said: "There is no movement. I asked the secretary to keep an eye on it. If there is any disturbance, we will be notified immediately!"
After receiving this answer, Chen Zengxi nodded slowly. He also understood that this was a blessing among misfortunes!
"Daddy, how should we deal with the overseas trust loan?"
The notification letter from the overseas trust has arrived at Hang Lung Properties.
As they had expected, the dominoes began to collapse. Not only did overseas trusts require Hang Lung Properties to repay their loans in advance, but even the builders were queuing up to ask Chen Zengxi for project funds at this time!
Chen Zengxi said: "Don't worry about the loans from overseas trusts. Although the stock price of our Hang Lung Properties has dropped again, the value of Hang Lung Center and Baiyu Commercial Center is still there. As long as the land prices in Xiangjiang can be maintained, then there will be no loans from overseas trusts."
The reason is to let us repay it in advance, and at worst, both parties will go to court, but this can also buy us a period of time."
Chen Qizong understands that this is just a temporary measure, because everyone knows that the current bad situation in the stock market will inevitably affect the real estate industry.
In other words, the value of Hang Lung Center and Baiyu Commercial Center will definitely be greatly reduced!
But now besides the method that Chen Zengxi thought of, he really couldn't think of any other method.
"What about the project payment owed?" But now Hang Lung Center is no longer a problem, except for the project payment that Chen Qizong is now asking about.
There are also other loans from Hang Lung Properties!
Now Chen Qizong didn't want to irritate Chen Zengxi too much, so he could only ask questions one by one. What Chen Qizong didn't know was that in fact, such questions were more likely to hurt a person's heart.
Chen Zengxi said: "Since Chu Huan has not done anything yet, we can relax a little bit, so I have already told your second uncle that the last funds of the family will be used to pay for this project.
Once the payment is made, everything will be fine by the end of the year!”
As I said before, by the end of the year, Hang Lung Real Estate will have two large-scale properties for sale, and by then Hang Lung will be able to withdraw a large amount of funds!
Chen Qizong said worriedly: "But according to the current situation, housing prices in Xiangjiang will definitely hit the lowest point by then!"
Chen Zengxi said helplessly: "We can no longer take care of these things. For us, the most important thing is to withdraw funds!"
Chen Qizong stopped talking!
Seeing his father's tired look, he finally poured him a cup of ginseng tea and reluctantly left Chen Zengxi's office.
...
"Yun Shang, have you contacted A Huan?"
Cao Wenjin also found Cao Yunshang with some urgency at this time.
Cao Yunshang nodded and said: "We have been contacted, and Brother Huan has also promised to leave part of the oil for Wanbang!"
When oil prices rise, the shipping industry will be most directly affected.
As one of the four major shipping kings in Xiangjiang, Cao Wenjin will naturally be greatly affected. Before this, he knew that Chu Huan had hoarded a batch of oil. If he could win one from Chu Huan at this time,
If we purchase low-priced oil, then Wanbang Shipping will not encounter such an oil crisis in a short time!
Hearing what Cao Yunshang said, Cao Wenjin finally breathed a sigh of relief. Of course, Cao Wenjin also knew that it would be impossible to buy it at a price of US$3.01 per barrel!
Therefore, Cao Wenjin has also raised the price, but it is less than 10 US dollars per barrel!
