The business development of Watsons can actually wait.
Especially with the development of the beverage industry, the market in Xiangjiang is too small, and the beverage market in Asia and other places is occupied by beverage industries such as Coca-Cola. If it develops at this time, huge additional funds will definitely be invested in publicity.
The gain outweighs the loss, so Chu Huan's strategy is to wait for the market in his hometown.
If Watson's beverages can enter the beverage market in their hometown when it just opens, then the market in their hometown will be enough to support Watson's beverages' prospects for the global market.
Of course, before that, Watsons must first invest some funds and start researching its own products. Currently, Watsons only has one product, distilled water, which is obviously not enough.
From now on, mineral water, cola, and other beverages will be the main products.
As for the cosmetics market, you can now enter it, but this market is the same as the luxury goods market. If you want to build a brand, you need a long period of accumulation of knowledge and product marketing.
If you have this time, it’s better to buy a brand of your own!
Just as Chu Huan, Cao Yunshang and Zhu Xiaozhao were planning the future development of the Watsons, Cui Xiuying also returned to the Zhang family's old house and told Guo Geng about meeting Chu Huan today and Chu Huan's intention to visit Guo Geng.
At this time, Zhang Yuliang was chatting with Guo Geng in Guo Geng's room. After hearing the news brought back by Cui Xiuying, his expression suddenly changed.
Guo Geng and Cui Xiuying did not notice the change in Zhang Yuliang's expression.
Guo Geng thought for a moment and said, "I remember, the Chu Huan you are talking about is the eldest grandson of Sister Chu's family, right?"
Cui Xiuying nodded and said, "That's him, but he is different now. I read in the newspapers outside that he is now the richest man in Xiangjiang. He owns the world's largest comic company, as well as the largest city-within-a-city and business in Xiangjiang."
Center, the business is quite huge!”
Guo Geng said with some joy, "If that's the case, wouldn't he be able to do business with our Zhang family in the future, so that our Zhang family's business can get better and better?"
When he said this, Guo Geng looked at Zhang Yuliang.
Zhang Yuliang had always told himself that the family business was not very good, but now suddenly a grandson from an old sister's family contacted his family. The key is that this grandson is the richest man in Xiangjiang. Wouldn't this be able to help the Zhang family?
Zhang Yuliang smiled with a complicated expression and said, "Mother, there are some things you don't know. This Chu Huan has always been famous for being 'independent' when doing business in Xiangjiang. He has made many businesses his own exclusive business, and
It also made hostile acquisitions of many companies in Hong Kong.
The most important thing is that Chu Huan is developing too fast now, which has put HSBC and the Hong Kong government under pressure. I heard in the business community that HSBC and the Hong Kong government are deliberately suppressing him!"
Guo Geng was slightly startled when he heard Zhang Yuliang's introduction, and then said with some disappointment, "So that's it. If it is suppressed by the Hong Kong government and HSBC, it will indeed be difficult to develop!"
"That's right!" Zhang Yuliang hurriedly continued, "Moreover, mother, you are devoted to worshiping Buddha and don't see outsiders. I'm worried that Chu Huan will spare your Buddhist heart when she comes!"
Cui Xiuying glanced at Zhang Yuliang suspiciously.
Although what Zhang Yuliang said makes sense, Chu Huan's current status is here. No matter how you say it, it is a good thing for Chu Huan to visit Guo Geng. Even if the Hong Kong government and HSBC want to suppress Chu Huan, they cannot be involved.
Let’s go to Zhang’s house.
Now listening to Zhang Yuliang's words, it seems that Zhang Yuliang really doesn't want Guo Geng to see him.
Could it be that Zhang Yuliang really hid some wealth that he didn't know about?
Cui Xiuying is not a fool, it’s just that Zhang Yuliang hid his wealth too well.
Let’s take the 1950s as an example. At that time, the eldest son of the Zhang family was still alive and the Zhang family’s industries were all under the control of Zhang Yujie, the eldest son of the Zhang family. But even under such circumstances, Zhang Yuliang still had a way to control Zhang Yujie’s business.
Accumulate wealth for yourself secretly.
Let alone now.
"Mom, what the fourth uncle said makes sense, but Chu Huan is a very important person in Xiangjiang now. If we don't even meet, it would be really disrespectful to Chu Huan. In this case, not only will
Outsiders would say that our Zhang family has no tutors, which would also cause dissatisfaction among Chu Huan.
Chu Huan's business in Xiangjiang is so big, if he wants to target our Zhang family, it would be really easy!"
Zhang Yuliang looked at Cui Xiuying fiercely, but Cui Xiuying just smiled back at Zhang Yuliang, and then continued to look at Guo Geng sincerely!
Guo Geng thought for a while and said to Zhang Yuliang, "Ah Liang, what your second sister-in-law said is not unreasonable. For the sake of our family's business, I should also meet Chu Huan."
Knowing that this matter was irreversible, Zhang Yuliang could only nod his head and said, "Then it's up to you, mother!"
Guo Geng nodded with satisfaction.
"Then I'll ask A Cheng to contact Chu Huan!" Cui Xiuying said with a smile.
"Yes!" Guo Geng nodded and said with approval, "A Ying, you have made a contribution to the family in this matter!"
"It should!" Cui Xiuying laughed.
The next day!
"This damn weather has finally stopped!"
After Luo Gingshi came out of the bedroom, other members of the Luo family were already waiting for him in the living room.
This is the habit of the Luo family. When Luo Gingshi wakes up, everyone else in the family must also get up. There can be no lazy people in the Luo family.
"It rained all day yesterday, and now it has finally stopped."
The wife of Luo Gingshi also preached the same thing next to Luo Gingshi.
Yesterday's heavy rain started with heavy rain in the morning, then light rain, and it continued sparsely all day long.
This made Luo Yingshi very dissatisfied. Such heavy rain stopped the construction site for a day, which was also a huge loss for Great Eagle Real Estate.
"Daddy, this is today's newspaper!"
Luo Xurui's spirit seemed very excited. He stood at the top of the stairs, waiting for Luo Yingshi to come downstairs, and handed the "True Report" in his hand to Luo Yingshi.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Luo Ging-shi also opened the newspaper immediately. Yesterday can be called the first battle between Chinese Real Estate and Cheung Kong regarding the acquisition of Qingzhou Yingni. Chinese Real Estate has already
Take action.
The whole of Xiangjiang is watching how Cheung Kong is preparing to deal with it!
The front page headline of "Zhen Bao" is still an acquisition announcement.
"Cheung Kong will entrust a wholly-owned company of HSBC Bank to obtain more profits. Jardine, a subsidiary of Jardine Matheson Group, will act as a consultant. Starting today, it will acquire Qingzhou Yingni's shares at a price of HK$15 per share. It will acquire Qingzhou Yingni Company in cash.
51 shares!”
The content is no different from yesterday’s content, except that the acquirer has changed, from Chinese Real Estate to Cheung Kong!
"I thought the purchase price of Cheung Kong would be higher, but I didn't expect that the purchase price of Cheung Kong and Chinese Land would be the same!"
Luo Xurui preached to Luo Eagle Lion.
"The conditions are the same, but Changshi has the upper hand!"
Luo Gingshi said seriously, "Before Chinese Real Estate acquired Chinese Real Estate, Changshi must have acquired part of the shares of Qingzhou Yingni. If the two parties were in this kind of competition, the shares acquired should be similar, but in the end
Cheung Kong definitely holds more shares in Qingzhou Yingni than Chinese Real Estate.
Obviously, Li Jiacheng also understands that because of their acquisition war, the shareholders of Qingzhou Yingni will definitely reap the benefits. Li Jiacheng and the force behind him definitely do not want this to happen, so they chose
The same purchase price as Chinese Real Estate!”
After Luo Xurui listened to Luo Gingshi's analysis, he nodded and said, "So, no matter how high the final price of this acquisition war is, it will not be as high as we thought before?"
Luo Yingshi had already led everyone in the Luo family to the restaurant. After sitting in the first place, Luo Yingshi chuckled and said, "Don't worry, this acquisition war will definitely push the stock price of Qingzhou Yingni to an unprecedented height."
of."
Seeing that Luo Xurui didn't quite understand, Luo Eagle Lion had no choice but to explain to him
Nanhai Textile!
"A Huan has encountered a strong opponent this time. Changshi has taken the lead. A Huan can only passively keep up. Tomorrow, the share price of Chinese Real Estate's acquisition of Qingzhou Yingni will definitely rise."
Tang Jiqian looked at the newspaper in his hand and said helplessly.
Tang Yunian also showed a helpless expression and said, "Yes, now that Changshi has the upper hand, he can just sit back and wait for A Huan to make a move. He only needs to keep up with A Huan's purchase price, and he has already established himself in the market."
We are invincible in this acquisition war!”
At this time, everyone knew that Changshi owned more shares of Qingzhou Yingni than Huaren Real Estate, and if Chu Huan wanted to catch up with Changshi in the future, he would have to surpass Changshi in price.
, this is possible.
"The price of HK$15 per share is just the beginning. It is really hard to imagine how far it will rise in the future!"
Tang Jiqian sighed and then preached.
Then Tang Jiqian asked Tang Yunian, "Did you contact Ahuan yesterday? Does he need help?"
Tang Yunian nodded first, then shook his head and said, "I contacted him yesterday morning and told him that our family can provide him with some financial support, but A Huan seems to have found a way and said that we are not needed for the time being.
support!"
"Still so competitive!" Tang Jiqian shook his head with a wry smile. "His opponent this time is the four major British banks and HSBC. He has so many projects that require big money, how can he not need funds?"
At this point, Tang Jiqian told Tang Yunian, "Call Ah Huan later and tell him that this 50 million was lent to him personally by our Tang family and he does not need to pay any interest. Although for the acquisition of Qingzhou Yingni
50 million won't have much effect on this matter, but at least it can help him a little.
If he still talks like yesterday, let him come and tell me in person."
When Tang Yunian heard what Tang Jiqian said, he showed a hint of excitement on his face and said, "Thank you, Daddy!"
Tang Yunian laughed loudly and said, "In this land of Xiangjiang, we Chinese businessmen have been suppressed by those ghosts for so long. Now we finally have a Chu Huan who has such a good relationship with our family. This
We, the Tang family, will all contribute to this matter!"
After finishing speaking, Tang Jiqian closed his eyes, as if recalling the problems they encountered when they were doing business in Xiangjiang.
Tang Yunian didn't say anything and turned around and left Tang Jiqian's office. However, this time he did not go back to his office but left Nanhai Textile directly and went to Jiahu Building.
Sun Hung Kai!
"The money is ready, take it and send it to Ah Huan!"
In Guo Desheng's office, Guo Desheng handed Guo Bingxiang a check with the amount of HK$70 million written on it!
Guo Bingxiang said excitedly, "Daddy, is this all the family's working capital?"
In another five or six years, it will be very easy for the Sun Hung Kai Kwok family to come up with tens of millions of cash, but now it is not that easy to ask the Kwok family to come up with tens of millions of cash, not to mention
They had just invested tens of millions in Huahai Real Estate.
Guo Desheng smiled easily without paying too much attention, "Thanks to Zhulu Commercial Center, the real estate market in Xiangjiang is picking up very quickly now, and other investments in the family are also returning at a very impressive speed. You can give this money to Ah Huan. At this time, he
This funding is needed even more.”
Guo Bingxiang said, "But when I called Ah Huan yesterday, he clearly said that the funds in his hand can handle this matter."
Guo Desheng glared at Guo Bingxiang and said, "Do you really think Ah Huan prints money? He loaned HK$800 million to Zhulu Commercial Center, and then took out another US$100 million and HK$3.2 billion to share with you and Yoshiaki Tsutsumi.
We invested in Japan’s real estate industry together, and if you add in his own expenditure of HK$700 million on the Zhulu Commercial Center, where do you want him to get so much money?”
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Guo Bingxiang thought about what he learned from Li Tianying about Yunhai Chain's investment in Japan, and felt that what Guo Desheng said made sense.
"It's my fault. I always thought that Ah Huan could make money, but I forgot that he has spent more money during this time."
Guo Desheng said in a deep voice, "It's already the 1970s, but I didn't expect that those people still didn't want us Chinese businessmen to develop. When I gave the money to Ah Huan, I told him that he could use the money as he pleased and treat it as if it was for us."
The Chinese businessmen working hard in Xiangjiang are fighting for their breath!"
Guo Bingxiang picked up the check on the table, nodded and said, "Got it!"
Sun Hung Kai Securities!
"Uncle Guo, you have been selling the stocks you personally hold since yesterday. Together with some cash in his hand, it should be 60 to 70 million now. Now you can also send this fund to Ah Huan!"
Feng Jingxi also took out a check with 40 million Hong Kong dollars written on it from his arms and handed it to Feng Yongfa to preach.
"Our securities industry is no better than the real estate industry, but I don't think Ah Huan would think about this!"
Feng Yongfa nodded and said, "I believe in Ah Huan, but I didn't expect that Ah Huan would be so strong this time and would have to fight against HSBC and the four major British-funded foreign banks."
Feng Jingxi shook his head and said, "We can't do it without fighting. They have already bullied us right to the doorstep. If we don't take action, A Huan's own property will really be invaded by them!"
Everyone knows the importance of Qingzhou Yingni. Its market value is not high, but it holds the lifeblood of Xiangjiang’s real estate industry.
If Qingzhou Yingni is acquired by Changshi, it will be indirectly controlled by the four major British banks and HSBC. At that time, the fortress of Chu Huan's business empire that he carefully managed will be breached. What will happen in the end?
No one would have thought of it.
So Feng Jingxi knew that he must help Chu Huan this time!
"In the Xiangjiang business community, our Feng family was the first to cooperate with Ah Huan. Over the years, Ah Huan has helped us a lot. Now it is time for us to give back to Ah Huan.
As for profits, this time we will also let those ghosts and elders see that the Chinese businessmen in Xiangjiang not only have profits in their eyes, but also love!"
Feng Yongfa felt a little excited when he heard it, and said, "I know, then I will go to Jiahu to weave now!"
"Go for it!"
Luo family!
"Don't go to the company today. Find a securities firm. Don't buy some shares of Qingzhou Yingni in the name of the company or our family. Since this acquisition war has just begun, what will happen to Qingzhou Yingni's shares in the future?"
The stock price will definitely continue to rise, and we can make a good profit this time!"
After Luo Gingshi made it clear to Luo Xurui that Qingzhou Yingni's stock price would definitely continue to rise, he told Luo Xurui.
Luo Xurui was slightly stunned and said, "I thought daddy wanted to help Chu Huan in this matter!"
Luo Yingshi showed a proud smile and said, "Chu Huan is now fighting with the four major British banks and HSBC. What can our Luo family do to help Chu Huan? We should just take care of our one-third of an acre of land."
Now because of the Zhulu Commercial Center, the recovery speed of the Xiangjiang real estate industry is far faster than our plan. I think the market price of the Xiangjiang real estate industry in the future will definitely exceed that before the stock market crash. If you use money to help Chu Huan at this time, let alone
It can help, but it will definitely disrupt our business plan.
What's more, this will offend HSBC and the four major British banks. It is a bad deal no matter how you look at it!
Our Luo family is a businessman after all, and everything still depends on profit!"
Luo Xurui nodded and said, "I understand!"
"By the way, although we can't help Chu Huan financially, we should call to express our support. Don't forget this!" Luo Eagle Lion reminded.
"clear!"
Then the two father and son stopped talking about the incident and started eating breakfast
Jiahu Building!
"Uncle Jian, didn't we talk on the phone yesterday? I really don't need financial support now. I have my own way to acquire Qingzhou Yingni!"
In Chu Huan's office, Chu Huan was helplessly explaining to Jian Yueqiang.
Just this morning, Chu Huan had just arrived at the company, and Jian Yueqiang also arrived and brought Chu Huan a check of HKD 80 million.
Looking at the check in his hand, Chu Huan was moved and told Jian Yueqiang that he had his own way of acquiring Qingzhou Yingni and did not need Jian Yueqiang's help.
"Haha!" Jian Yueqiang sneered and said, "What can you do? You just want to get a loan from a bank. I can tell you that every bank in Xiangjiang has received a call from Shen Bi.
Although it is not stated clearly, everyone understands the meaning, that is, no loans will be provided to you during this period.
Without a bank loan, if you want to snatch Qingzhou Yingni from their hands, I don’t believe it!"
Chu Huan looked serious, "Is there such a thing?"
"Otherwise, what do you think? HSBC's influence in Hong Kong is definitely not what you see. Although doing your business will definitely make money, other banks also have their own concerns. As long as they lose the support of HSBC, everything will be over in an instant.
He will be distrusted by the citizens of Xiangjiang."
Jian Yueqiang said coldly.
Chu Huan shook his head and said, "I mean, Shen Bi actually has this energy?"
Jian Yue said forcefully, "Shen Bi naturally doesn't have this energy, but if we add the four major British-owned foreign companies, he will have this energy?"
It is the three major British foreign companies. Qi Dezun did not tell him about this matter last night, which means that Qi Dezun does not know about it yet, which means that Qi Dezun has not fully gained the trust there.
Chu Huan thought for a moment and smiled and said, "I admit that they have the energy to unite, but they can only target the banks in Xiangjiang, but there is no way to make the banks in other places listen to them, so I still have a way."
Jian Jian Qian looked at Chu Huan dissatisfied, "Why, are you willing to pay interest on those bank loans, but don't want your Uncle Jian to help you?"
Seeing what Jian Yueqiang said, Chu Huan knew that he had to accept the money.
"Since Uncle Jian has said this, I would rather obey your orders than I am respectful. I will accept the money and return it to you, Uncle Jian, after a period of time!"
"You should use it first. I have no place to spend money here. I used to always think about making money, but now that I'm retired, I don't know how to spend the money!"
Chu Huan laughed and said, "The process of making money and enjoying it is the process. The result is actually nothing to think about."
While the two were chatting, Xu Yi walked into the office and said, "Boss, Mr. Guo Bingxiang from Sun Hung Kai is here."
Jian Yueqiang stood up and said, "If you have good luck, you will get more help, but if you don't have good luck, you will get less help. Ah Huan, now is the time for you to reap the rewards. No matter what the outcome of the acquisition of Qingzhou Yingni is, you have already made a difference in the business world of Xiangjiang!"
After finishing speaking, Jian Yue waved his hand and continued, "I'll leave first. The rest is the business of you young people."
Jian Yueqiang and Guo Bingxiang came face-to-face, and Guo Desheng greeted Jian Yueqiang politely.
"I thought I was the first, but I didn't expect that Uncle Jian was earlier than me!"
Obviously, Guo Bingxiang has guessed the reason why Jian Yueqiang came here.
After finishing speaking, Guo Bingxiang took out the check from his pocket and handed it to Chu Huan without waiting for Chu Huan to answer.
"You don't have much money to buy Qingzhou Yingni, but our Guo family can give you all. I think you won't refuse our Guo family's money if you accept Uncle Jian's money, right?"
Since Chu Huan had accepted Jian Yueqiang's help, he naturally no longer pretended to reject Guo Bingxiang's idea.
"Bring it here!" After taking the check from Guo Bingxiang, Chu Huan continued, "Thank you, I won't tell you anymore. When this matter is over, I'll ask you to have a good time!"
"You can have this!" Guo Bingxiang smiled happily, and then couldn't help but suggest to Chu Huan, "Ah Huan, now the acquisition war of Qingzhou Yingni is obviously going to become fierce. Why don't you stop the expansion of Yunhai Chain first?
Transfer the funds over there?"
Guo Bingxiang is the only outsider who knows about the relationship between Yunhai Chain and Chu Huan. His fiancée Li Tianying is also the deputy general manager of Yunhai Chain, so she naturally knows more about Yunhai Chain.
Chu Huan waved his hand and said, "We can't delay the expansion over there because of things here. If we take this initiative, similar things may happen countless times later. Moreover, Xiao Zhao had already discussed it with Qi Dezun last night.
We will buy Watsons from Hehe International."
Guo Bingxiang was really shocked this time, because Li Tianying didn't tell Guo Bingxiang about this.
"At this time, Yunhai Chain is acquiring Watsons. Is your expansion speed a little too high?"
Chu Huan said, "The opportunity is rare. Hehe International needs cash now. If it does not acquire it at this time, the price will only be higher in the future. Besides, with the support from you people, it will naturally not be a problem."
Got it!"
"Us?" Guo Bingxiang was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "That's right, I think Uncle Jian and I are definitely not the only ones here today!"
After the words fell, Xu Yi opened the door again and said, "Boss, Mr. Zheng Jiachun from New World, Mr. Tang Yunian from Nanhai Textile, Mr. Feng Yongfa from Sun Hung Kai Securities, Mr. Michael Kadoorie from Grand Hotel, Mr. Huo Zhenting from Huo's, Huaguang
Mr. Zhao Shizeng from the shipping department is here."
"Please come in!"
Chu Huan said with a smile.
Zheng Jiachun and others walked in together. When Guo Bingxiang saw everyone, he couldn't help complaining, "You can do it? We actually made an appointment to come here together?"
Zheng Jiachun smiled and said, "We didn't have an appointment, we just met here."
Feng Yongfa complained to Guo Bingxiang, "Why are you here so early? Do you want to show us that your country is ready?"
The rest of the people also complained about Guo Bingxiang.
There was no tension at all like before the war, instead it was very lively.
Michael Kadoorie walked up to Chu Huan first, took out a check from his pocket, and said, "Ah Huan, although we have not known each other for a long time, our family has great trust in your ability.
Our family also values your friendship very much, so don’t be too moved.”
Huo Zhenting joked and said, "Mi Gao, Ah Huan's opponents this time are HSBC and the four major British banks. Aren't you afraid that the British financial groups in Xiangjiang will find out that the Kadoorie family is doing this and say that you are cheating?"
Michael Kadoorie smiled nonchalantly and said, "Although our Kadoorie family is British, our business is all in Hong Kong, so strictly speaking, our Kadoorie family is a businessman in Hong Kong!"
When everyone heard this, they laughed, and instead of teasing Michael Kaori, they all handed their checks to Chu Huan.
"Ah Huan, let's have a good fight. We also want to see how you beat the four major foreign banks and HSBC!"
Feng Yongfa finally preached with some excitement.
