Perhaps the previous affairs of the Qin family had given Cao Yunshang too much impact, so when there was nothing to do during this period, Cao Yunshang would bring Chu Huan to the Cao family to have a meal.
It was the same today. After Chu Huan went to Fengwu Securities to pick up Cao Yunshang, the two came to Cao's house in Deep Water Bay together.
By the time the two of them arrived at Cao's house, dinner had been prepared. This is how family members are. If you don't come back often, you will miss them often, but if you come back often, you won't be so enthusiastic.
Just like now, Chu Huan and Cao Yunshang are back, and Zhou Meiqi has not yet finished his battle to build the Great Wall.
Chu Huan and Cao Yunshang didn't pay attention. Cao Wenjin, who had already gone home, called Chu Huan to his study.
"This time around Jiahu Textile, Shen Bi is still targeting you, right?"
Cao Wenjin has been paying attention to Chu Huan's affairs. At this time, Cao Wenjin naturally also knew about Jiahu Textile.
Chu Huan sat there and said helplessly: "The tree wants to be quiet but the wind doesn't stop!"
Cao Wenjin smiled, looking very relaxed, and asked Chu Huan with a smile: "I heard from Yun Shang that you two have been discussing the "Three Kingdoms" recently?"
Chu Huan chuckled and said, "It's just a casual chat when I'm bored."
Cao Wenjin said: "At that time, except for the few tiger generals, Liu Bei did not have many men, horses and territory. Why was he able to win the Battle of Chibi in the end?"
Chu Huan scratched his head and said, "Uncle, although I don't read much, I still know that it was Zhou Yu who burned Red Cliff to defeat Cao Cao."
Cao Wenjin did not dwell on this matter with Chu Huan, but continued: "In fact, sometimes, when facing an opponent who is stronger than yourself, you don't necessarily have to be in front of everything. You can also find some ally."
Seeing that Chu Huan was still a little confused, Cao Wenjin smiled and said: "In Hong Kong, HSBC is indeed the most powerful bank, but it is not the only bank. At that time, HSBC was able to surpass Standard Chartered Bank through Bao Yugang. Although Standard Chartered Bank has always been Following HSBC's lead does not mean that Standard Chartered itself has no ideas.
Before, when you were plotting against Hang Lung, didn’t Chen Zengxi also go to Standard Chartered?”
Having said that, Chu Huan immediately understood what Cao Wenjin meant. There was actually no conflict between him and HSBC... at least for now, and this incident between Chu Huan and HSBC , it should be said that it is a contest between Chu Huan and Shen Bi.
Shaya, for her part, sits on the mountain and watches the fight between tigers and tigers. If she doesn't want to end, she will force the opponent to end.
After thinking about everything, Chu Huan immediately said to Cao Wenjin: "Uncle Cao, thank you!"
Seeing that Chu Huan had figured it out, Cao Wenjin also laughed and said: "We are all a family, there is no need to tell me this, and I believe that you can think of this method even without my reminder!"
In fact, Chu Huan was thinking of another way. His attention has never been on Standard Chartered Bank. This is also a habit that Chu Huan has developed over the years in his past and present lives. When encountering problems, Chu Huan is better at taking action from his own experience. Start from the perspective and find solutions to the problem.
Rarely seek help from forces outside of oneself.
After all, you will owe a favor, and the debt of favor is the hardest to repay.
But this time, with Cao Wenjin's reminder, Chu Huan also wanted to understand one thing, that is, to find Standard Chartered Bank by himself. This was not a unilateral request for help, but a cooperation between the two parties. The most important thing was that Chu Huan
Huan can also use this matter to better hide his power.
So the next day, Chu Huan came to Standard Chartered Bank on Des Voeux Road in Central!
When Sanderson, the chief executive of Standard Chartered Bank, heard that Chu Huan was coming, he personally asked his secretary to invite Chu Huan to his office.
"Dr. Chu, you are a rare visitor!"
After meeting Chu Huan, Sanderson immediately preached enthusiastically.
In the 1950s, Standard Chartered Bank's status in Hong Kong was higher than that of HSBC. However, HSBC was the first to discover Chinese businessmen and also discovered Bao Yugang. This allowed HSBC to catch up and become the leading bank in Hong Kong.
top.
Since then, all the banks in Hong Kong have wanted to discover a person like Bao Yugang, but it is not that easy to discover.
But things are different now. Chu Huan's strong rise in recent years has made the entire business community in Xiangjiang understand that Chu Huan's future is absolutely unlimited.
Even though HSBC wants to suppress Chu Huan at this time, it will not really fall out with Chu Huan. Instead, it will be a relationship of competition and cooperation at the same time.
As for Chu Huan himself, ever since he appeared in the business world, he has maintained a close cooperative relationship with the Bank of East Asia, and later contacted HSBC. This also made other banks unable to have this relationship and influence even if they wanted to contact Chu Huan.
force.
Now, Chu Huan took the initiative to come to Standard Chartered Bank, which naturally gave Sanderson a chance.
Sanderson also recently heard about the relationship between Chu Huan and Shen Bi. This time Chu Huan personally came to their Standard Chartered Bank, which can be said to be the best time to establish cooperation between their Standard Chartered Bank and Chu Huan.
"Mr. Taipan, I came here this time to visit the Three Treasures Hall for nothing!"
Chu Huan preached straight to the point.
Sanderson laughed loudly and said: "If you need anything, Director Chu can just ask it. As long as we at Standard Chartered Bank can provide help, we guarantee that there will be no problems!"
Chu Huan said: "Then I will tell you directly!"
"Just say it!" Sanderson smiled happily.
Chu Huan said: "I asked for Mr. Taipan's help when I came here this time. Our Jiahu Textile wants to get a loan from your bank, and the amount is quite large!"
Sanderson naturally had no objection to this, but there was one thing he still had to ask, "I heard that when Director Chu took back Jiahu Textile, Jiahu Textile and Huhua Real Estate had some loans.
?”
Chu Huan immediately smiled and said: "Mr. Taipan, please rest assured that Jiahu Textile's loan has been fully paid off!"
Chu Huan did not hide this. After more than a year of development since he met Jiahu Textile, Jiahu Textile has paid off all bank loans.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Let's put it this way, the companies under Chu Huan's name at this time have the smallest loan ratio among the companies in various industries in Hong Kong, mainly under Chu Huan's name
After Chu Huan injected capital, the company's financial situation was developing very well, and Chu Huan's idea at the time was to let the bank make as little money as possible.
The most important thing is that youth toys are so profitable now that they can fully cope with the development of the companies under Chu Huan's name.
But things are different now. Chu Huan wants to use loans from Standard Chartered Bank to confuse everyone in Xiangjiang.
When Sanderson heard Chu Huan say that Jiahu Textile's loan had been paid off, he was amazed and a little disappointed.
Yes, it’s disappointing!
In fact, it doesn't matter to Sanderson whether Jiahu Textile has a loan. It is even better to have some loans, because in this case, Standard Chartered Bank can also earn more from Chu Huan when it lends money to Jiahu Textile.
Much kindness.
Your company has a loan, but our bank just believes in your strength, so we are willing to give you a loan.
Your company doesn't have a loan, but our bank will lend you a loan according to the procedures. This is Chu Huan taking care of our bank's business. Although our bank has also helped you, everyone gets what they need!
Banks are actually not as high-end as everyone thinks.
In the previous life, Chu Huan had a friend who was a senior bank executive.
Such an incident happened at that time. At that time, their bank wanted to improve its performance, so the best way was to lend money to high-quality enterprises in this city.
So Chu Huan's friend, led by their president, went to the company in person, hoping that the other party could get a loan from his bank!
Yes, banks are looking for business loans.
Not only asking them for deposits, but also asking for loans!
The CEO of that high-quality company did not want a loan because his financial situation was very good. In the end, he agreed to the bank's request because of the cooperative relationship between the two parties. All the loan procedures were handled by the bank itself.
of.
And that high-quality company only needs to prepare the materials it needs to prepare and wait for the bank staff to come and verify it in person.
If you switch to a small shop and want to get a loan from a bank, it will be a different story.
"I don't know, Director Chu, how much loan are you prepared for?" Sanderson asked Chu Huan.
"150 million Hong Kong dollars!" Chu Huan said softly.
Sanderson was stunned for a moment. Although he thought that since Chu Huan came in person, the loan amount must be high, he did not expect that Chu Huan would actually ask for 150 million Hong Kong dollars!
But Sanderson still did not hesitate and said with a smile: "No problem, as long as Director Chu needs it, our bank will definitely have no objection!"
Chu Huan smiled and said: "It would be great if that's the case!"
After a pause, Chu Huan said: "Mr. Taipan also knows that I have recently had some problems with General Manager Shen Bi of HSBC. However, I must be wary of the influence of HSBC, but I, Chu Huan, have always believed that,
We are real friends only if we keep going back and forth, so I thought how about putting the financial transactions of the black and white images in Standard Chartered Bank?"
Sanderson looked surprised. He only wanted a sesame seed, but Chu Huan gave him a watermelon. As for whether the black and white image was previously cooperating with HSBC, it no longer mattered.
Although HSBC is powerful in Hong Kong, Standard Chartered is not a vegetarian either.
Loaning to Chu Huan is the first step of cooperation between the two parties, and cooperating with a company under Chu Huan's name is the second step of Sanderson's plan.
I originally thought that this second step would have to wait, but I didn't expect that Chu Huan had already arrived at my door in advance.
"There is no problem at all. Our finance staff at Standard Chartered Bank can easily work for Director Chu!"
"Since that's the case, there's nothing more to say. I wish us a happy cooperation!" Chu Huan said with a smile.
Sanderson laughed and said: "How can we not have wine at this time!"
After saying that, Sanderson personally went to the wine cabinet in his office, took out a bottle of XO, poured a glass for Chu Huan and himself, and said: "Happy cooperation!"
...
Roy Bentley came to Saya's office with an angry face. At this time, Shen Bi was also reporting to Saya about the situation of HSBC Bank during this period.
Of course, there was no report about Chu Huan. This was a tacit action by everyone.
Seeing Roy Bentley's expression, Shen Bi's lips curled up slightly and then returned to normal. He thought Roy Bentley was here to intercede for Chu Huan.
Shen Bi didn't care at all about Roy Bentley's thoughts, and was even a little happy.
What he did was not selfish, it was for the company, not anything else. Although he did not discuss it with Shaya, Shaya definitely supported it. If Roy Bentley came here for this matter, then he would just do it. It can be said that Chu Huan found the wrong person to support.
Sha Ya also frowned slightly. Apparently he was thinking the same thing as Shen Bi. He didn't want Roy to come here just for this matter. If that was the case, Sha Ya would be very disappointed.
But no matter what she thought, Shaya still asked Roy Bentley with a smile on her face: "Roy, what made you look like this?"
Roy Bentley didn't care about what Shen Bi and Sha Ya were thinking at all. He just suppressed the anger on his face and spoke calmly.
"Just now, I received a call from Chu Huan, who asked for a loan of HK$150 million from Standard Chartered Bank. At the same time, he separated the business of black and white imaging from HSBC, and all the funds for black and white imaging were transferred to the account of Standard Chartered Bank!"
"What?"
Even Shaya couldn't help but stand up at this time, looking at Roy Bentley in shock, unable to believe what Roy Bentley said.
Shen Bi on the side also frowned tightly at this time, thinking of a very bad outcome.
At this time, Roy Bentley lost his previous anger, and even said in a slightly mocking tone: "You heard me right, what I just said was told to me by Chu Huan himself, and it was black and white. The person pictured has just transferred all the cash in their account, all the cash, to their account at Standard Chartered Bank."
Seeing Roy Bentley's expression, Shaya couldn't help but said angrily: "Why didn't you stop it?"
Roy Bentley said calmly: "How can I stop it? Chu Huan just asked me on the phone, saying that he has always been in awe of HSBC, and for this reason he handed over his company's financial transactions to HSBC, but What about HSBC? Just because he has developed a little too fast, some people want to suppress it, so they target it everywhere. Chu Huan finally told me that there is not only one HSBC in Hong Kong, and he, Chu Huan, does not have to cooperate with HSBC!"
Having said this, Roy Bentley looked at Shen Bi, who was already livid, and continued to practice the fire path.
"Actually, I don't have any objections to what General Manager Shen did. In fact, in my opinion, it is appropriate for General Manager Shen to suppress Chu Huan, but I cannot agree with this method. If General Manager Shen If you really want to suppress Chu Huan, you should support more companies, just like Hengsheng and Bao Yugang did before. If you feel that Chu Huan's development speed is too fast, you can also support more companies in Chu Huan's industry. Internally, he wanted to support more companies, but the only thing he couldn't do was go out and suppress Chu Huan himself.
The reason why we, HSBC Bank, have achieved today's achievements is because we have always maintained a transcendent status in Hong Kong, but as long as we leave the bank personally, this status will be compromised.
Chu Huan is not an ordinary person. He is the most promising young man in Xiangjiang now, and he is also one of the most influential people in Xiangjiang. He also has wealth that outsiders cannot imagine. For such people, we should cooperate more with them. Only if cooperation deepens, the other party will be unable to leave HSBC, and we, HSBC, can continue to maintain our transcendent status.
But now, General Manager Shen's behavior is pushing Chu Huan to our competitor step by step.
At that time, HSBC was able to overwhelm Standard Chartered Bank by relying on Bao Yugang and the shipping industry, but there is no guarantee that Standard Chartered Bank will not be the same as HSBC in the future!"
Shen Bi was so angry at Roy Bentley's words that he was shaking a little. He couldn't help but said: "I always do things rightly. The development of Chu Huan has already posed a threat to HSBC. This can be seen from the fact that Chu Huan was able to leave HSBC and switch to Standard Chartered Bank."
Roy Bentley spread his hands and said: "General Manager Shen, I didn't say that your idea is wrong. I just think that your approach is debatable. Don't be so radical. Who is Chu Huan? He He is not one of those ordinary businessmen in Xiangjiang. He is a super rich man who has made several billions in less than five years. Do you think such a person has no temper?
You targeted him again and again, and denied face again and again. If it weren’t for our HSBC’s influence in Hong Kong, what he took away this time would not be the financial affairs of Black and White Image alone, but the financial affairs of Hang Lung Properties and even Huaye City. Already."
Shen Bi's face dropped like water.
Sha Ya spoke up at this time: "This matter cannot be entirely blamed on Shen Bi, it is because we took it for granted before!"
No matter what, Shen Bi is the general manager of HSBC at this time and will also be the head coach of HSBC in the future. Although Chu Huan's incident brought a bad impression to HSBC, Sha Ya decided to excuse Shen Bi at this time. .
Roy Bentley did not pursue the victory, but said in an understatement: "Of course I know this matter, it's Mr. Shen's fault. I have just said that I have no objection to Mr. Shen's ideas, so before After knowing what Mr. Shen did, I didn't say anything.
What we didn't expect was that Chu Huan was so strong. This matter hasn't spread yet. If it spreads, I'm worried that the directors of the company will have ideas about this matter!"
Roy Bentley's words once again made Shen Bi angry, "I am entirely thinking about the company, what can they think of me?"
Roy Bentley said calmly: "I believe Mr. Shen that your original intention must be for the sake of the company, but the current situation is that the company has actually lost part of its cooperation with Chu Huan, and these are real money. Come on, it’s hard to say whether the directors of the company will believe in Mr. Shen as much as Shaya Taipan and I do!"
It seems like every word I say is thinking about you, but in fact every word is poking at your heart!
"Chairman, we can't let Chu Huan be so arrogant. We must let Chu Huan know what the consequences will be for going against our HSBC?"
Shen Bi preached to Sha Ya.
Without waiting for Sha Ya to reply, Roy Bentley continued to speak: "If this is the case, we will completely lose Chu Huan as a customer in Xiangjiang, and this will be a lose-lose consequence for both parties. Maybe we at HSBC will be better, but what benefits will this bring to us at HSBC?
From now on, the business community in Xiangjiang will say that HSBC has no room for people and no one can develop.
Is this result what we at HSBC want to see?"
When Shen Bi wanted to say something else, Sha Ya had already spoken.
"I'll think about this matter again. You can continue to operate Mr. Shen's case against Chu Huan this time, but after this incident, no matter the outcome, we at HSBC can no longer do anything personally!"
Shen Bi wanted to continue fighting, but Sha Ya had already waved her hand and continued: "Let's leave it like this for now. You can go out first. Roy and I still have some things to discuss!"
Facing Sha Ya who had already issued an eviction order, Shen Bi could only leave Sha Ya's office first.
After Shen Bi left, Sha Ya said to Roy Bentley: "Tell me what you really think about this matter?"
Roy Bentley spread his hands and said: "What I just said is what I really think. Chu Huan does need to be suppressed, but we at HSBC cannot do this directly. If it hadn't been for General Manager Shen himself to do it before, Those raw material suppliers from other places called, how could they increase the price of Jiahu Textile alone?
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Although this is the fastest way, it is also a means to push Chu Huan to our opposition.
Wasn't Mr. Shen already supporting Li Jiacheng before? I think this method is actually the best. Although Chu Huan's development is faster, as long as we at HSBC have more potential in our hands, or even have already developed company, no matter how fast Chu Huan develops, it will never be able to catch up with our HSBC.
And in this way, Chu Huan is actually on the same boat as our HSBC. People who are in the same boat are naturally allies. Together, we can keep HSBC in a transcendent position forever.
pity......."
Sha Ya looked at Roy Bentley with some surprise and said: "I never found you able to think about things so clearly before!"
That was before I knew Chu Huan... Roy Bentley smiled and said: "General Manager Shen is not the only one who thinks about the company. I also hope that our HSBC can continue to be so strong!"
Sha Ya asked: "What about Chu Huan? What does he think?"
Roy Bentley said: "Chu Huan definitely doesn't want to fall out with us at HSBC, but Chu Huan became famous at a young age, and coupled with his current status in Xiangjiang, he must be young and vigorous. The reason why he is now By playing such a trick, he just wants to tell us that HSBC is not someone to be bullied.
To put it bluntly, he is showing off his muscles to us at HSBC. I think as long as we properly show him our friendship, Chu Huan will definitely be more inclined to cooperate with us at HSBC."
Sha Ya nodded and agreed with Roy Bentley's idea.
Lecture: "What do you think about General Manager Shen?"
Roy Bentley immediately said: "Now that the matter has been done, we must not stop at this time. Otherwise, people outside will think that HSBC is afraid of Chu Huan. This will be even worse for our HSBC's reputation." Okay, so your decision just now, Chairman, is very correct.
Why don't we leave this matter to Chu Huan and Mr. Shen? No matter who wins or loses, we at HSBC should not take any further action in the future. This is the best way to deal with it. .
As for the matter of suppressing Chu Huan, we can leave it to the businessmen in Xiangjiang and let them do it on their own. As long as Chu Huan has more opponents, he will be more inseparable from our support at HSBC.
In the final analysis, we at HSBC can no longer end up personally involved!"
Sha Ya asked the last question: "What about what Chu Huan did this time? Don't we, HSBC, do anything? Don't people outside also look down on us, HSBC, because of this incident?"
Sha Ya asked about Chu Huan's taking of Black and White Video's finances from HSBC.
Roy Bentley laughed and said: "Take it and take it. This is just one thing that Chinese businessmen in Hong Kong often do and do not put their eggs in one basket.
If we at HSBC don’t even have this capacity to accommodate people, it would be a joke!”
Sha Ya had no problem. Now that he was sure of Chu Huan's intention and understood Roy Bentley's attitude, it was enough.
"After a while, please find a time to make an appointment with Chu Huan for me and tell me that I want to play golf with him!"
Roy Bentley smiled and said: "I think Chu Huan will be very happy!"
After the conversation between the two ended, Roy Bentley left Sha Ya's office, returned to his own office, and began to deal with the work at hand.
It wasn't until after get off work in the afternoon that Roy Bentley got off work as usual, but this time he did not go back to his home, but went to the Wuyue Club.
Under the leadership of the Wuyuehui waiter, we came to the private room on the second floor.
Chu Huan has already been waiting here.
"Roy, thank you for your hard work this time!" Chu Huan once again placed a collectible Breguet watch on the table.
At the end of 1974, Cao Yunshang's boutique obtained the agency rights for Breguet watches.
Roy Bentley put the watch into his hand unceremoniously this time, and said with a smile: "This is what I should do. Ah Huan, you are now the businessman with the most development potential in Xiangjiang. For you to be like this For businessmen, we at HSBC should have given them more support instead of restricting them everywhere.
Besides, you don’t want to fall out with us at HSBC. No matter how you look at it, I should be on your side!”
Chu Huan laughed and said, "I thought Roy, you were speaking for me because of the friendship between you and me!"
Roy Bentley smiled and said: "Friendship is naturally the most important."
Chu Huan nodded and said: "To be honest, if I hadn't been pushed too hard by General Manager Shen, I wouldn't have made such a move. After all, it is in the interests of our company to maintain long-term cooperation with HSBC!"
Roy Bentley nodded and said: "Strong cooperation is the only way to succeed in the mall. Ah Huan, don't worry, as long as I am still at HSBC, the cooperation between you and me will continue!"
Chu Huan smiled and said: "This is natural!"
Roy Bentley then told Chu Huan that Sha Ya invited Chu Huan to play golf, and Chu Huan naturally had no objection.
