Just when the media in Xiangjiang were still obsessed with the explosive news about Chu Huan's net worth.
"True News" once again broke an explosive news, which shocked the entire Hong Kong.
‘This newspaper has confirmed that Mr. Qi Dezun, chairman of the board of directors of Hehe International, has sold all his shares in Hehe International to an overseas investment company called Starry Sky Investment.
In addition, Mr. Qi Dezun has obtained the authorization from Star Investment to act as the sole agent for the shares of Hehe International held by Star Investment and to exercise the rights of director.
Regarding Starry Sky Investment, this newspaper has reviewed a large amount of information, but still cannot find any information about Starry Sky Investment. We only know that it is an investment company registered in the Cayman Islands.
As for the identity of Mr. Qi Dezun and Xingkong Investment, in our opinion, this company should belong to Mr. Qi Dezun. He did this just because of some business rescue actions due to the decline in the stock price of Hehe International in the past two years.'
No one doubts the "True News" report!
Although Hehe International's performance in Xiangjiang has not been very good in the past two years, and there are frequent rumors that Hehe International's operations are in crisis, no one expected that Qi Dezun would play such a trick.
Does this count as transferring the risk of Hehe International from his personal body to an overseas company that is not governed by Hong Kong law?
No one understands why Qi Dezun did this, but what is certain is that such a piece of news has affected the stock price of Hehe International.
Originally, the share price of Hehe International had rebounded, rising to HK$2 per share, but now it has dropped back to a record low of HK$11 per share. No one knows what the future of Hehe International will be like.
Just when this news shocked Xiangjiang, Chu Huan and Sha Ya were playing golf in the Royal Golf Course of Xiangjiang Green.
After Sha Ya bent down to pick up a golf ball, she smiled and said to Chu Huan.
"I thought that as the richest man in Hong Kong, Mr. Chu must be busy with business, but I didn't expect that he would still have time to see me!"
Faced with Sha Ya's strange annoyance, Chu Huan remained calm and laughed softly, "Mr. Taipan, don't be ridiculous. You know what's going on about the richest man, and I know what's going on. It doesn't matter if it's passed on by outsiders."
Well, if Mr. Taipan says that, then I think you are making fun of me!"
Sha Ya laughed and said, "I think there are no people who can ridicule Director Chu now!"
After playing a ball, Saya gave up trying to verbally stimulate Chu Huan. She just clicked and made her attitude clear. If she said more, it would be inconsistent with Saya's identity.
"I heard from Luo Yin that Director Chu has other business that he wants to cooperate with HSBC. What kind of project is it?"
Sha Ya decided to meet Chu Huan at this sensitive moment because of what Chu Huan and Luo Yin told her about the cooperation project with HSBC.
In just four years, he has grown into the richest man in Hong Kong, with a net worth of tens of billions. Regardless of the previous relationship between the two parties, Sha Ya could not underestimate Chu Huan's earning power.
Chu Huan smiled and said, "I wonder what Mr. Sha Ya thinks of the recent situation of Hehe International?"
Sha Ya was stunned for a moment, but she didn't expect that Chu Huan would actually set her sights on Hehe International.
"Not so good. When I came out this morning, I saw in the newspaper that Qi Dezun had invested his shares in an overseas company. This is to avoid bankruptcy and liquidation!"
Sha Ya said with some disdain that in the past, Hopewell International was one of the four major British-funded consortiums in Hong Kong after HSBC. However, in the past two years, Hopewell International had expanded too fast before, leading to financial difficulties after the stock market crash.
Crisis, now is the time of crisis.
It happened that at this time, Qi Dezun made a stupid move and even transferred his shares, causing Hehe International's stock price to fall again.
"Then what if we jointly purchase Hehe International?"
Chu Huan threw out a bait to Sha Ya, and then said, "I own 5 shares in Hehe International. If we add HSBC, and we join forces to acquire part of Hehe International's shares in the stock market at this time, then Hehe International will
Of course, it’s up to you and my family to decide!”
After hearing this, Sha Ya laughed and said, "I know how Mr. Chu has grown to this point in just a few years. This is a really good plan. Because of the Hong Kong government's policy, HSBC cannot
Can directly participate in the management of Hehe International, but Director Chu can. Director Chu wants to borrow our HSBC knife to win over Hehe International. By then, Director Chu will hold Huhua Real Estate, Hang Lung Real Estate, Hehe International, and Chinese Real Estate.
That is the well-deserved king of land in Xiangjiang, and I have to say that this move is beautiful!"
Chu Huan smiled nonchalantly and said, "No matter how beautiful the method is, it must have the support of Senior Class Sha Ya. I wonder what Senior Class Sha Ya thinks of this suggestion?"
Sha Ya did not answer Chu Huan's question, but asked Chu Huan, "I actually still don't quite understand it. A small comic and a few toys can bring you more than 5 billion every year."
income?”
Chu Huan said, "There must be some discrepancies in the survey in Fortune, but they are not major. It is actually just luck that we are able to achieve this result.
It just so happens that the comic company has created several comics that are popular around the world!"
Sha Ya said, "I remember that the most popular comic "Dragon Ball" in "Fantasy Comics" is a story created by Director Chu."
"I usually like to dream when I have nothing to do. I happened to dream of such a story, so I wrote it. As I said, I'm just lucky!"
Chu Huan preached calmly.
After a simple verbal exchange, Sha Ya started to get to the point, "If HSBC can buy a stake in Fantasy Comics Club, I think we, HSBC, can help Director Chu solve the difficulty of joining Hehe International!"
As one of the four major British-funded consortiums in Hong Kong, if Chu Huan wants to take over Hehe International, he will definitely encounter opposition from many people in Jardine and the Hong Kong government. In fact, HSBC will also oppose this matter in Shaanxi.
In Ya's opinion, this is the case. Although Chu Huan said he wanted to cooperate with HSBC, in fact, he just wanted to use HSBC's influence to better win over Hehe International.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! To put it bluntly, Chu Huan wants to take advantage of HSBC!
That's what Saya thought.
So Sha Ya proposed a condition to Chu Huan, allowing HSBC to take a stake in Fantasy Comics Club.
"Director Chu should know that HSBC has no right to operate non-financial enterprises, so even if HSBC has shares in Fantasy Comics Club, Fantasy Comics Club is still Director Chu's private territory.
Although the current stock price of Hehe International is far from that of Fantasy Comics, the dividends from a comic only last five or six years. After the comic "Dragon Ball" ends, will Fantasy Comics continue to be so prosperous?
It’s unknown, but Hehe International is different. It is a large-scale comprehensive group, especially with so much land under its name that needs to be developed.
If Chairman Chu can get Hehe International, he will not have to worry about it in the future.
I think this is why, Mr. Chu, you are still working hard to develop the real estate industry in Xiangjiang after you established the Fantasy Comics Club!"
During this time, Saya has been studying Fantasy Comics Club and the Japanese comics industry, and finally came to his own conclusion.
The old fox Chu Huan silently complained about Sha Ya. Sha Ya only talked about comics from beginning to end, not the peripherals. It is true that after a comic is completed, its influence will definitely decline, but the peripherals of comics are different.
"My Healing Game"
Take "Dragon Ball" as an example. Even if "Dragon Ball" is finished, Fantasy Comics will be able to start producing the animation of "Dragon Ball" at that time. Then there will be another wave of dividends. The most important thing is, "Dragon Ball"
"The broadcast of the animation can completely drive the sales of the single book of "Dragon Ball", and then there are also peripherals.
In another time and space, "Dragon Ball" has been completed for many years, and the "Shounen JP" behind it can still reap the dividends of "Dragon Ball".
The most important thing is that according to my own research on the animation industry, although I cannot provide all the stories of other popular comics, with Ma Jizu, I have my own intelligence base in Japan, and I have my own knowledge of those Japanese
Understanding of this cartoonist.
At least Chu Huan was able to get at least half of all the popular comics before Chu Huan was reborn.
And this represents a huge market worth hundreds of billions of dollars. Will Chu Huan hand it over and let HSBC reap the dividends?
What a joke!
This is why Chu Huan firmly told Luo Yin and Bentley that it was impossible for HSBC to invest in Fantasy Comics.
"Mr. Taipan is joking. You also said that the dividend from a comic book is only for a few years. Using Fantasy Comics Club in exchange for the control of Hehe International will actually make HSBC suffer. I personally have always respected HSBC very much.
Yes, such a thing must not be done.”
Chu Huan can directly reject Luo Yin Bentley's suggestion, but he cannot directly reject Sha Ya's opinion!
But even so, Sha Ya's expression changed, and then she said, "I remember that I just played ball with Luo Bishi of the Colonial Secretary some time ago. He lamented to me that the environmental protection in Hong Kong has been criticized by the international community recently, and the Colonial Secretary intends to introduce some
Come out with laws to protect the environment.”
Having said this, Sha Ya looked at Chu Huan and said with a smile, "Director Chu and Luo Bishi are old acquaintances. Haven't you heard the news?"
"I heard about your grandma's legs," Chu Huan cursed in his heart. He knew that HSBC would definitely take action, but he didn't expect that the other party had already taken the action to this point. Although the two large factories of Endeavor Printing and Youth Toys were already equipped with
But as long as the Hong Kong government wants to investigate, they will definitely find problems.
And this can be seen as a tentative warning from Sha Ya to Chu Huan.
You are not a comic, toys are the most profitable?
Then we will directly target your company that produces these two products. If you are asked to stop production, I would like to see how you still make money!
"I am indeed a little sad about the environment in Xiangjiang!" Chu Huan said seriously.
Seeing Chu Huan's attitude, Sha Ya seemed a little unhappy.
Chu Huan did not care about Sha Ya's attitude, but continued to preach, "Although the two factories of Endeavor Printing Factory and Youth Toy Factory have more than 20,000 workers and are planning to continue to expand their recruitment, they still protect the environment very well!
"
Chu Huan still underestimated the sales of "Fantasy Comics" and its peripheral products. These two factories are now operating 24 hours a day, but even so, they still cannot keep up with the sales speed.
Therefore, expanding the factory and increasing the number of workers is something that must be put on the agenda.
Even at this time, Chu Huan had already asked people to find new places to build factories in Southeast Asia!
Sha Ya understood what Chu Huan relied on.
Behind a factory with more than 20,000 people are 20,000 families and a population of 70,000 or 80,000. If the Hong Kong government wants to take action against Chu Huan in this regard, it must consider the social and international impact of such a large population causing trouble.
Got it!
The proud British Empire would not allow such a thing to happen.
At this time, Sha Ya finally understood why Chu Huan had to establish these two factories in the first place. One was to ensure the closed loop of his industry, and the other was to be used in this place.
The Hong Kong government can wear small shoes for Chu Huan, but the consequences must be borne by the Hong Kong government.
When Sha Ya was silent, Chu Huan was still talking unhurriedly: "To be honest, Fantasy Comics Club actually does not delay the operation of the company whether it is in Xiangjiang or other places. I don't know about Mr. Taipan's understanding of comics.
Does the industry know anything about it?”
This is the second trump card in Chu Huan's hand. Everyone understands that Fantasy Comics Club is the most profitable industry in Chu Huan's hands. If Chu Huan is really being targeted and cannot accept it, he can take the current Fantasy Comics Club's
Everyone left Xiangjiang and continued working in another place.
I believe that there will definitely be many countries in the world that would welcome a giant company like Fantasy Comics with both hands.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! And the loss to Xiangjiang is too great!
Chu Huan took out these two trump cards to warn Shaya that although he could not fight against the Hong Kong government or HSBC, he could still fight to the death.
"So, Director Chu doesn't want outsiders to enter the Fantasy Comics Club?"
Sha Ya understood Chu Huan's warning and preached with increasing dissatisfaction.
At this time, Chu Huan has grown into a towering tree. If he had known this, he should have taken action earlier.
Unfortunately, the most helpless thing in this world is that there is no regret medicine to buy!
Chu Huan nodded and said, "Fantasy Comics Club is my core business, and I don't need foreign investment now!"
"So, there is nothing left to talk about between us!" Sha Ya was about to turn around and leave.
Chu Huan smiled and said at this time, "What if it is Ocean Milan Bank in North America?"
Sha Ya, who was about to leave, stopped abruptly. He did not expect that Chu Huan actually proposed a name that he had thought about for a long time but had not acted on.
Ocean Milan Bank of North America!
This is the 11th largest bank in North America, with total assets of US$13.7 billion. By 1979, total assets will reach US$17.2 billion. It is headquartered in Buffalo, upstate New York, and has 300 branches.
It has an extensive business network in New York State and occupies a leading position in commercial banking business.
In another time and space, after Shen Bi took the position of HSBC's executive officer, in order to cope with the situation in Hong Kong, he began to lay out HSBC's "triangular stool" strategic layout, which is to establish strategic strongholds in the Americas and Europe outside Asia to form a triangle with Asian business.
Stool situation.
As for the "triangular stool" strategy, Shen Bi's first step was actually to acquire the North American Ocean Milan Bank and then rename it SITC Bank.
But during the chat between Chu Huan and Luo Yin Bentley, Chu Huan learned about the original triangular stool strategy. In fact, Sha Ya had already thought about it.
However, at this time, HSBC, which was based on Hong Kong, could only let Sha Ya focus on Hong Kong and Asia because of the Hong Kong stock market crash and the oil crisis.
There is simply no extra energy to implement the "triangular stool" strategy.
Now that Chu Huan brought up this topic, Sha Ya said that she couldn't walk any further.
Everyone has private thoughts, and Sha Ya is no exception. He has always wanted to break through the shadow left by Sandus, but the current situation in Xiangjiang is like this. Being able to maintain the current situation of HSBC is the biggest
Achievement.
But he definitely still has ideas in his heart.
If Chu Huan told him this before, he wouldn't take it to heart because he thought Chu Huan didn't have the strength. But it's different now because Chu Huan is a super rich man with a net worth of 65.8 billion Hong Kong dollars.
With Chu Huan's help, it is not impossible for HSBC to acquire Ocean Milan Bank.
One side is HSBC’s interests in Hong Kong, and the other side is HSBC’s layout in America and its own reputation.
Faced with this multiple-choice question, Shaya finally chose the latter because the temptation was too great.
"I would like to hear the details!" Sha Ya said to Chu Huan.
Chu Huan knew that Sha Ya had taken the bait. The reason why Chu Huan still proposed to cooperate with HSBC to win Hehe International was because he had already obtained Qi Dezun's shares in Hehe International. This was just to paralyze Sha Ya and make him more determined to cooperate with HSBC.
Hehe International does not have many connections.
Taking out Ocean Milan Bank now is the most important bargaining chip for Chu Huan to hold Sha Ya back!
"I went to North America for company business some time ago, and I happened to research the North American banking industry, and discovered Ocean Milan Bank. This company is a listed company in North America, but the equity distribution is very fragmented, and its market value is about
Around US$700 million.
If you and I join forces, the possibility of taking over this bank is very high, and I can assure Mr. Taipan that in the next two years, as long as HSBC wants to, I can completely sell Ocean Milan at the current purchase price.
Bank shares sold to HSBC!”
Chu Huan calmly finished speaking his opinion!
The total assets are US$13.7 billion. This does not mean that the market value of Ocean Milan Bank is that much, but that their bank assets include deposits, investments and other various assets in total.
Sha Ya's breathing was a little rapid. If this is the case, then HSBC may really win over Ocean Milan Bank during his tenure. In this case, his name will be at the top of the previous top managers of HSBC.
Through Bao Yugang, Sandus helped HSBC stand at the top of Hong Kong, and he led HSBC to expand its territory outside the country, with the same achievement!
The most important thing is that if Chu Huan's funds are available, it will greatly ease the financial pressure of HSBC. The current market value of Ocean Milan Bank is US$700 million. If you want to take control, you will need US$3.5 billion in cash.
, converted into Hong Kong dollars, it is almost 2 billion Hong Kong dollars!
Of course, Shaya has never thought about acquiring the other party's full capital now, as long as he has a controlling stake. But that will also require more than one billion Hong Kong dollars!
HSBC can get this money, but if it takes this money, there will be no way to deal with emergencies in Xiangjiang!
"Now that the economic situation in Xiangjiang has begun to improve, I believe that two years will be enough for Xiangjiang and HSBC to successfully complete the turnaround. By then, it will be very easy for HSBC to take over my shares in Ocean Milan Bank.
!”
Chu Huan continued to bewitch Sha Ya.
Now that Sha Ya had made her choice, she did not hide it, but asked Chu Huan, "If this is the case, you personally need to prepare at least 2.5 billion US dollars. Can you come up with so much cash now?"
"
Obviously, Sha Ya also knows that although Chu Huan makes money, there are many places for Chu Huan to spend money, not to mention the land in East Tsim Sha Tsui that needs development. In Sha Ya's view, no matter how much money Chu Huan makes, in a short time
There shouldn’t be more than one billion Hong Kong dollars in cash!
This chapter is not finished yet. Please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Chu Huan smiled and said, "Mr. Taipan, you have forgotten that the companies under my name are all companies with very good operating conditions. In addition, now
"Fortune" reported that I think it would be no problem to get a loan of US$2.5 billion from a certain bank in North America!"
Chu Huan naturally does not have so much cash at this time, but Chu Huan can get a loan. As Chu Huan said, his company's operating conditions are good and the debt ratio is ridiculously low, so Chu Huan at this time
Naturally, there is no problem with getting a loan.
Sha Ya was stunned. According to Chu Huan's current influence, there is no problem in getting a loan. But Chu Huan just said that if she wants to recover the shares of Ocean Milan Bank from Chu Huan within two years, then according to the
Chu Huan now provides cash calculation.
In other words, Chu Huan spent his own money to develop HSBC!
Thinking of this, Sha Ya understood that Chu Huan was definitely not such an easy person to get along with, so she smiled and said, "If that's the case, HSBC can help you, Director Chu, get Hehe International!"
Since Chu Huan has just mentioned that he wants to win over Hehe International, now Sha Ya is ready to reciprocate the favor.
Chu Huan shook his head at this time, "If possible, I hope to get the shares of Jardine 5 from HSBC!"
Now that Hehe International is in his hands, it is naturally impossible for Chu Huan to negotiate with HSBC. He also believes that as long as Luo Yin Bentley becomes HSBC's chief executive, it will be easier for him to get HSBC's investment in Hehe International.
of shares.
So Chu Huan has now begun to set his sights on Yihe.
After all, HSBC still holds shares in Jardine 5!
Got it, I got it all!
At this time, Sha Ya thought she understood Chu Huan.
Just throwing out Hehe International is actually numbing himself. Chu Huan’s real purpose is Yihe!
But if you think about it, you can understand that Chu Huan is now the number one person in Xiangjiang, and Jardine Matheson is the first listed company in Xiangjiang besides HSBC. There is nothing wrong with the first person being interested in the first listed company!
It’s just that Jardine is not that easy to get.
But Sha Ya did not tell Chu Huan this idea. It is true that Chu Huan and herself had become close partners at this time, but it did not mean that there was no competition between the two parties.
It seems good now, let Chu Huan help him acquire Ocean Milan Bank, and then let Chu Huan and Yihe fight for their lives.
According to Sha Ya's judgment, both sides will definitely suffer losses. Even if one side is the winner, it will definitely be a miserable victory.
HSBC can even reap the benefits of this battle.
No matter how you think about it, it is beneficial to HSBC.
Therefore, after thinking about Chu Huan's intentions, Sha Ya quickly made a decision and said, "No problem!"
Chu Huan smiled and finally stabilized HSBC temporarily. Although it cost some money, it was worth it.
"Then I'll go back and prepare funds!"
"I am also preparing to set up a special group to acquire Ocean Milan Bank!"
The two smiled at each other and left the Royal Golf Course together.
After losing sight of Sha Ya's car, Chu Huan immediately stopped Qin Peng and then came to a public phone booth on the roadside.
Chu Huan called Luo Yin Bentley's office. On the phone, Chu Huan told Luo Yin Bentley the result of the conversation between himself and Sha Ya, and told Luo Yin Bentley if he wanted to work in HSBC Bank.
For more board support, be sure to join this group!
Chu Huan did not tell Sha Ya about the request for Luo Yin Bentley to join this group before. This was because Sha Ya could not over-interpret the relationship between herself and Luo Yin Bentley. Otherwise, Sha Ya would be very unhappy.
It is possible that due to concerns about one's own development, one would give up on the choice of Loyin Bentley.
Luo Yin Bentley also understood what Chu Huan meant and thanked Chu Huan seriously on the phone.
Then Chu Huan told Luo Yin Bentley.
"I know a fund company in North America. Although this company has not been established for a long time, it is very experienced in corporate acquisitions. I can introduce this company to you and then use it as more bargaining chips for you in this matter!
"
What Chu Huan is talking about is of course KKR founded by Jerry Kohlberg and the other three. Don’t forget that Chu Huan has shares in KKR. If KKR can win this project, the commission will be able to offset part of its own loan.
The interest that needs to be paid!
When Luo Yin Bentley heard what Chu Huan said, he was naturally even more excited. After thanking Chu Huan again, he hung up the phone.
After Chu Huan put down the phone, he took the car back to Jiahu Building.
As soon as Chu Huan came back, Xu Yi walked in.
"Boss, Mr. Wu from Maxim's Group just called and said that he has invited Mr. Jian Yueqiang and now wants to invite you to dine at Yong Kee tonight!"
Chu Huan knew that this was Wu Zhande expressing his gratitude to him. Chu Huan himself had the idea to deepen the relationship with Wu Zhande, and now that Jian Yue was here, he naturally would not refuse.
"Tell the person that I will arrive on time tonight!"
"Um!"
"Also, contact the supervisors of First Boston Bank, American Express Bank, and Morgan Bank's offices in Xiangjiang and tell them that I want to treat them to dinner!"
