485, if you have money, you can do whatever you want
Naturally, Chu Huan couldn't let those people know his identity with Hehe International.
Despite Chu Huan's exciting fights with the Ford family in North America, in the end if Chu Huan had not resorted to cooperating with financial groups such as Morgan, Goldman Sachs, and Rockefeller, the Ford family would not have given in in the end.
The same was true in Xiangjiang at this time.
While the situation back home is still unclear, the four major foreign companies are taboos for the Hong Kong government and the British government behind them, and no Chinese businessman should even think about it.
Although the Zhang Yuliang family is the largest shareholder of Wheelock, the real person who controls Wheelock is John Madden, who has less equity than Zhang Yuliang.
If Zhang Yuliang dares to challenge the dominance of the John Madden family in Wheelock, he will immediately suffer the most severe blow.
This is also the reason why Zhang Yuliang has been able to tolerate John Madden putting Defeng's focus on the shipping industry.
But now the problem arises. There is no problem for Hehe International to acquire Wheelock. The key problem is that Hehe International does not have that much cash?
Unless Hehe International chooses to exchange shares for shares, this method is obviously not what Chu Huan wants to see.
Why many capitals in Xiangjiang like to list their companies is because they hope to obtain more funds in the stock market to promote the development of their companies, and even want to obtain some wealth that does not belong to them through some financial skills.
.
But for Chu Huan, this is actually not true.
In North America, there was a delisting and privatization event in the 1980s. At the same time, some companies in Hong Kong that had achieved sufficient development and had sufficient funds actually chose to delist and privatize in the end!
For example, when Chu Huan was reborn, the Wu family chose to delist Defeng and privatize it.
This can perfectly ensure personal control over the company.
Therefore, listed companies have never been Chu Huan’s pursuit.
"In terms of funds, it can be announced that Hehe International borrowed it from me in the form of stock mortgage. This makes sense. Anyway, many people know that the relationship between us is very good, and some help in business is also appropriate."
Chu Huan smiled and preached to Qi Dezun.
At this time, although Chu Huan will not nominally intervene in Wheelock's acquisition battle, he will still have a sense of presence, so that when Chu Huan moves from behind the scenes to the front in the future, he will not appear so abrupt.
Qi Dezun thought for a moment and said, "Okay, but are you sure that you can successfully take over these two consortiums after next year?"
When Chu Huan acquired Hehe International, he had already mentioned that after Qi Dezun completed the acquisition of Wheelock and became famous, Qi Dezun would withdraw from Hehe International.
Chu Huan smiled and said, "At least half of it is certain. The other half depends on your operations in the next six months!"
Qi Dezun was stunned for a moment and asked, "In addition to acquiring Wheelock, are there any other actions?"
Chu Huan nodded and said, "Of course, the next thing to do is actually very simple. After the acquisition of Wheelock is completed, Hehe International and Wheelock need to be delisted and privatized!"
If Hehe International and Wheelock still maintain their status as listed companies, Chu Huan will have a lot of trouble if he wants to gain nominal control of the two companies, at least from the Hong Kong government.
trouble.
But if these two companies do not have the status of listed companies, then many things will be easily solved, and there is no need to submit an acquisition application to the China Securities Regulatory Commission.
Qi Dezun was frightened by Chu Huan's plan and said, "This is not a small project. There are no less than 10 listed companies under the two groups. Plus the acquisition of various shares, I am afraid it will involve at least 1.5 billion Hong Kong dollars."
ah!"
Since Chu Huan had calculated the plan to this point, he naturally considered it all. He said, "It is not the entire group and all its listed companies that will be delisted and privatized first, but the two parent companies, Hehe International and Wheelock."
The company, as well as its main assets, such as Whampoa Dockyard owned by Hehe International, Wheelock Real Estate Trust, and other listed companies, will be handled by me when the time comes, so you don’t need to worry!"
As long as Chu Huan gets these two parent companies, the rest of the other things will be much easier to handle.
"Is Huangpu Shipyard going to be privatized?" Qi Dezun is most concerned about Huangpu Shipyard under Hehe International. Now Hehe International is the holding company of Huangpu Shipyard, but it does not hold 100% of the shares, so he wants to take back the remaining shares of Huangpu Shipyard.
, also requires a large amount of funds.
"Yes, the land at Huangpu Shipyard will be one of the most important assets of Hehe International!"
In another time and space, the total investment of Whampoa Garden built on the Whampoa Dockyard site was HK$4 billion, but the net profit was as high as HK$5.2 billion, which did not include the rent collection fees for the 1.69 million square feet shopping mall in Whampoa Garden.
Naturally, Chu Huan will not give up on this chicken that lays golden eggs!
But the most important thing now is to privatize Huangpu Dockyard first. This does not require much capital, almost 200 million Hong Kong dollars is enough.
"Then when are you going to complete this work?" Qi Dezun asked with some urgency.
Although he does not know what the Huangpu Dockyard will develop in the future, if he can privatize the Huangpu Dockyard, it will be another achievement for him in Hehe International.
Chu Huan understood what Qi Dezun was thinking and said with a smile, "It's best before Mr. Taipan leaves Hehe International!"
Qi Dezun quickly smiled and said, "No problem!"
Later, Qi Dezun said with some worries about gains and losses, "If you want to privatize Hehe International, there is one thing you must pay attention to!"
"What's going on?" Chu Huan asked.
"That's the shares held by HSBC in Hehe International!" Qi Dezun said seriously.
After a series of equity transactions, HSBC now holds 10% of the equity of Hehe International. If Chu Huan wants to complete the privatization plan of Hehe International, HSBC's equity in Hehe International is an unavoidable matter.
"For acquisition, HSBC is also short of money now. If the price is reasonable, I believe HSBC will be willing to sell its shares of Hehe International!"
Chu Huan preached firmly.
Chu Huan is thinking about commercial banks in North America, and HSBC is also thinking about the remaining 49 shares of Ocean Milan Bank in North America. Especially Shaya, who very much hopes to complete HSBC's full ownership of Ocean Milan Bank in North America before he retires.
.
In another time and space, HSBC even rarely issued new shares in order to complete this work. Now the shares of Hehe International they hold are high-quality assets, and I believe HSBC will definitely be willing to sell them.
Qi Dezun smiled bitterly and said, "You are really not afraid of spending money. To be honest, Ah Huan, I now very doubt the evaluation of you by Fortune. Your annual profit is definitely more than 6 billion Hong Kong dollars!"
However, Qi Dezun also understood that Chu Huan would definitely not tell him this kind of thing, so after the sigh, Qi Dezun directly stated that there was no problem.
Chu Huan naturally said nothing more.
The specific matters can be completed by Qiao John and Qi Dezun.
At Chu Huan's current business scale, Chu Huan no longer needs to personally intervene in specific matters. As long as Chu Huan sets a general development plan, all detailed operations will be completed by his subordinates.
Wu Shuhan helped Chu Huan send Qi Dezun out of the villa.
When she came back, she saw Chu Huan lying on the sofa without any image.
Thinking about it, Wu Shuhan can also understand Chu Huan's attitude at this time. When he was in North America, Chu Huan basically focused all his energy on acquiring Ford Motor shares.
That matter involved more than one billion US dollars and several billion Hong Kong dollars. If you are not careful, you may not get the rewards you deserve. Now that he has just returned to Hong Kong, Chu Huan has set his sights on acquiring Wheelock.
on this matter.
It seems that since I met my boss, except for the period just before and after getting married, my boss has never had a good rest.
Thinking of this, Wu Shuhan asked the servant at home to bring a blanket to cover Chu Huan.
However, during her actions, Chu Huan, who had her eyes closed to rest, opened her eyes.
"People sent him away?"
Chu Huan sat up wrapped in a blanket.
"Already sent away!" Wu Shuhan nodded and asked, "Boss, do you want someone to lower the temperature of the air conditioner?"
Chu Huan immediately shook his head and said, "No, the most comfortable thing is to turn on the air conditioner and wrap yourself in a quilt. It will be even more comfortable if I can have a good sleep again later!"
Wu Shuhan thought for a moment and smiled, "That's true."
Chu Huan asked, "What do you think of the company's acquisition of Wheelock?"
Before this, Wu Shuhan didn't know about this matter. The acquisition of Hehe International and Wheelock had always been the absolute secret of Chu Huan's business in Xiangjiang. Even at the beginning, even Xu Yi didn't know about it.
However, as Chu Huan has more and more things to do, Chu Huan can no longer spare much time and energy on the matter of Hehe International and Wheelock.
So Chu Huan told Xu Yi, Qiao John, and now Wu Shuhan about this matter!
Because Wu Shuhan came from his hometown, to be honest, he was not that vigilant about this matter, at least not as high as Xu Yi and Qiao John.
In her heart she only knew that this was something that needed to be kept secret from the outside world.
"I have recently studied the four major foreign banks in Hong Kong, Wheelock and Hehe International. In fact, these two companies have a lot of overlap in business. If they are done well, they can form an effect of 1 plus 1 greater than 2, but if they are not done well,
Otherwise, resources will be wasted due to overlapping services, and in the end, the effect of 1 plus 1 is less than 2!"
Xu Yi once told Wu Shuhan not to hide anything when facing Chu Huan's questions. No matter whether your thoughts are consistent with Chu Huan's decision, if you hide something and the boss knows about it, the consequences are very likely.
It's the consequence of packing up and leaving.
Chu Huan smiled at Wu Shuhan's answer and didn't say anything else. He just told Wu Shuhan again that the relationship between the company and Hehe International, as well as what Hehe International will do next, must be kept confidential and cannot be known to anyone, including
The Wu family of Maxim’s Group!
Wu Shuhan nodded and said that this is what it should be.
"Okay, there's nothing going on here today, you can go back to the company!"
Chu Huan lay on the sofa again.
Because Xu Yi is busy with many things now, Wu Shuhan temporarily replaced Xu Yi as Chu Huan's 24-hour full-time secretary.
Wu Shuhan nodded and stood up. Looking at Chu Huan, he couldn't help but remind him, "Boss, why don't you go back to your room and rest?"
"No!" Chu Huan pulled a pillow under his head and told Wu Shuhan with his eyes closed, "Tell the servants at home that there is nothing urgent and don't disturb me!"
"yes!"
Wu Shuhan nodded and left Chu Huan's study.
Because someone had done the specific things, Chu Huan started to live like a salted fish in the next period of time. Wu Shuhan came to the house every day to tell Chu Huan what happened in the company the day before, and at the same time, some things must be signed by Chu Huan.
Bring the documents to Chu Huan for signature.
Chu Huan didn't have anything else to do.
After a few days of happy salted fish, Chu Huan personally drove Cao Yunshang and Gu Chengxi to the airport. The two of them went to France this time to negotiate the acquisition of Printemps Department Store.
If possible, one or two luxury brands should be acquired.
After seeing off the two of them, Chu Huan decided that he could no longer live with salted fish in his life, so Chu Huan decided to eat a bowl of beef brisket noodles!
During this period of time overseas, Chu Huan missed the beef brisket noodles in Xiangjiang quite a lot. Although there was a master who specialized in making beef brisket noodles in his manor, Chu Huan always felt that he ate them at home instead of in a noodle shop.
It feels cool.
This chapter is not over yet, please click the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "Boss, one or two bowls of beef brisket noodles, one plate of tripe, one plate of peanuts, one plate of yuba, two bottles of iced Coke, and by the way, one more
Cut the chicken in a white plate!"
Chu Huan directly sat down at the stall outside the noodle shop, which was already full. He took out two pairs of kuaizi and handed them to Wu Shuhan, who was a little overwhelmed. He wiped the tachyons in his hand with the napkin on the table.
, began to wait impatiently.
When Wu Shuhan saw Chu Huan like this, he couldn't help but feel a little curious.
"Boss, although I have told you before, I really want to tell you again now that you are really different from the rich people I know in Xiangjiang!"
When not working, Wu Shuhan can also have a few playful words with Chu Huan.
Chu Huan asked nonchalantly, "What are the rich people you know like?"
Wu Shuhan said, "Let's just talk about yesterday. Anyway, the rich people I know will not just lie on the sofa and sleep casually like you. And now, when eating, although I can't just eat shark's fin, red wine and seafood,
Yeah, but I wouldn’t be so enthusiastic about a bowl of beef brisket noodles!”
In fact, there was one thing Wu Shuhan didn't say. She had once seen Chu Huan holding a bowl with rice poured with gravy and eating haphazardly.
After hearing this, Chu Huan laughed and said, "I suddenly thought of a joke!"
Wu Shuhan asked curiously, "What's the joke?"
"Just before, someone once said that there is a process for tasting red wine. A true aristocrat is very particular even when holding a red wine glass. He is not allowed to hold the glass with his hands. Instead, he should hold it with his thumb, index finger, and middle finger.
Goblet stem."
Chu Huan preached.
Wu Shuhan nodded and said with some embarrassment, "When I first came to Xiangjiang, someone also told me this."
Chu Huan smiled and said, "But in fact, these so-called techniques are just used by rich people to distinguish themselves from ordinary people. But in fact, every time I drink red wine, I hold it carelessly."
, I haven’t seen anyone come over to me stupidly and tell me that my posture is wrong!”
Wu Shuhan also laughed and said, "That's naturally because your status, boss, has reached a point where you don't need to care about anyone else's opinions!"
Chu Huan slapped his thigh and said with a smile, "Yes, I have reached this position. If I still don't care about other people's opinions and can't live the way I want, then what am I doing with so much money?"
Although the steak is good, I just don’t think it’s as filling as rice. I can eat pasta, but I just like to eat beef brisket noodles and drink Coke. If anyone doesn’t want to, don’t do business with me!”
"I understand!" Wu Shuhan said proudly.
"Understand what?" Chu Huan blew on the steaming beef brisket noodles, and then took a delicious sip of the noodle soup.
"If you have money, you can be willful!" Wu Shuhan said seriously.
Chu Huan was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "Yes, the purpose of making money is to make yourself willful!"
Chu Huan was in a good mood. After eating two bowls of beef brisket noodles, Chu Huan left the noodle shop comfortably while burping, and asked Qin Peng to drive to the set in Tseung Kwan O.
By the way, Chu Huan also bought some snacks on the way, which will be used for the visiting team later.
Chu Huan was originally visiting Zhao Yazhi and Lin Qingxia, but unexpectedly he met Guan Jiahui playing here on the set where Lin Qingxia was!
"Brother Huan, why are you here? My dad said you were in North America and haven't come back yet?"
After seeing Chu Huan, Guan Jiahui immediately ran over happily.
Chu Huan rubbed Guan Jiahui's head and said with a smile, "I came back before, why are you here today? Didn't I remember that school is not on holiday?"
Guan Jiahui said happily, "Today is the weekend, Brother Huan, you don't know, right?"
Chu Huan has been living a salty life these days and has really lost track of time. If it is the weekend now, then Zheng Zhouyong will come to Xiangjiang in three to five days.
At this time, Lin Qingxia came over in costume. Lin Qingxia was filming a drama of the Republic of China this time, but it was not the "Dao Ma Dan".
After learning the name of the movie from Lin Qingxia's mouth, Chu Huan was very sure that this was another movie that he had never heard of.
It is said that because of the appearance of Chu Huan, the film industry in Xiangjiang has long been in chaos. Although some classic movies will appear step by step, there are still many movies that have never appeared in another time and space.
Take Lin Qingxia's current costume, it's very similar to the costume Li Meifeng wore when she first appeared in "Mr. Zombie".
"Sister Yunshang and the others are gone?"
Lin Qingxia stood beside Chu Huan and asked.
Chu Huan nodded and said, "It's been put on the plane. I probably won't be able to come back in a month or two!"
The acquisition of Spring Department Store will definitely not be a smooth thing. It is foreseeable that Cao Yunshang's acquisition will definitely be a tough battle.
Even before leaving, Cao Yunshang borrowed a group of people from Jiaku's negotiation department.
"I just came over from Azhi's place. She doesn't have a night show tonight. How about we all have a fire at home?"
Chu Huan preached to Lin Qingxia.
Of course Lin Qingxia had no objection and said, "Okay, I don't have any night scenes tonight. I will buy ingredients after the filming is over!"
Chu Huan waved his hand and said, "No need, the family is prepared."
"I want to go too!" Douding Guan Jiahui raised her hand and said eagerly.
Chu Huan chuckled and said, "Okay, but you have to tell your dad and wait until he agrees to go over!"
Guan Jiahui immediately said proudly, "My dad must agree. By the way, he is filming next door, I will go find him now!"
After saying that, Guan Jiahui skipped away regardless of whether Chu Huantong agreed or not.
"I'll go too, I'll go too!"
At this time, Liu Pingkui walked over with a beautiful girl in his arms.
"Young Master Huan!" The beautiful girl called Chu Huan somewhat cautiously after seeing him.
Chu Huan felt that the other person looked familiar, and after thinking for a moment, he remembered that this was Huang Rong from Principal Gu's "The Legend of the Withered Heroes"?
Just looking at the other party’s current age, he should be around ten years old, right?
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "This is Wei Qiuhua, one of the heroines of my next play!" Liu Pingkui introduced Wei Qiuhua to Chu Huan.
Chu Huan nodded. Although he didn't know when Wei Qiuhua made his debut, he replied "Hello!" without thinking too much.
In fact, Wei Qiuhua made her debut very early. After graduating from middle school, she joined Jiayi TV, but she always played supporting roles. Last month, Liu Pingkui was looking for a heroine for his new movie. When he saw Wei Qiuhua on TV, he immediately felt that she had a good image, so
He sent an invitation to Wei Qiuhua.
Although Liu Pingkui is now well-known in Hong Kong's film and television circles, it is undeniable that Liu Pingkui, the young director with the most box office potential in Hong Kong Island, is still very popular.
Many actresses who want to enter the entertainment industry, or even want to make a name for themselves in the entertainment industry, hope to rely on the big tree of Liu Pingkui.
Liu Pingkui pointedly asked Chu Huan, "Brother Huan, who is there tonight?"
Chu Huan understood what Liu Pingkui meant. If there were Chen Haichao and Zhu Xiaozhao, Liu Pingkui would go there and join in the fun. If not, he was going to take Wei Qiuhua to join in the fun.
"Except for you who are superfluous, there are no other superfluous people!" Chu Huan joked.
Liu Pingkui knew what Chu Huan meant as soon as he heard it, and he laughed and said, "Then we will go there on time in the evening!"
Chu Huan nodded, but didn't say anything.
Although the Chu Family Manor is called Xiangjiang Palace by the Xiangjiang media, it is not a real palace, and Chu Huan does not mind having more people to increase its popularity.
After staying here for a while, Chu Huan saw the director looking at his watch from time to time. Chu Huan smiled and said to Lin Qingxia, "After filming, tell Axiu and ask her to call it a day and come with her!"
Miao Kexiu is filming a fashion drama and is not on the Tseung Kwan O studio now. However, after today's scene is completed, their crew will return to the Tseung Kwan O studio to reshoot some scenes. This is what Miao Kexiu told Chu Huan last night.
"The Great Luo of All Worlds"
"Um!"
After leaving here, Chu Huan went to the office building of Black and White Video, mainly to talk to Fang Jianhui about the North American Shanhai Cinema Line.
However, when he heard that Chu Huan was going to have a fire at the manor tonight, Fang Jianhui immediately shouted that he wanted to go together.
So in the end, it was Fang Jianhui who returned to the manor in Chu Huan's car.
Seeing that nothing happened without him, Wu Shuhan originally planned to go back, but asked Chu Huan to stay.
“Isn’t it fun to have a lot of people!”
Chu Huan said with a smile.
It was still dark, and when the afterglow began to dye the sky red in the distance, Lin Qingxia and others drove to the manor.
Wei Qiuhua came to the manor in Liu Pingkui's car. Sitting in the car and looking at the park-like scenery of the Chu family manor, Wei Qiuhua was filled with envy.
More beautiful than Liu Pingkui’s villa!
When she saw the main building, she was naturally even more surprised. However, this time Chu Huan did not place the place for eating the side oven on the rooftop on the third floor, but placed it in the rest area in front of the main building.
By the time the two of them arrived, everyone else had already arrived.
Wei Qiuhua knew that the rumors outside were true when he saw Liu Pingkui unceremoniously snatching the Coke from Chu Huan's hand and taking a swig.
The relationship between Liu Pingkui and Chu Huan is really good.
Thinking of this, Wei Qiuhua secretly vowed to catch Liu Pingkui firmly!
It's just that Liu Pingkui's temperament is destined to disappoint Wei Qiuhua.
"Brother Huan, I heard that TVB invited you to be a judge for this year's Miss Hong Kong finals. Do you want to go?"
Liu Pingkui asked Chu Huan after taking the bowl from the servant's hand.
The Miss Hong Kong election is becoming more and more influential in Hong Kong, and in order to continue to expand the influence of Miss Hong Kong, Li Xiaohe is also trying to invite business celebrities in Hong Kong to serve as judges for Miss Hong Kong.
This is also the reason why in later generations it will be said that the election of Miss Hong Kong is a convention for Hong Kong rich men to choose their concubines.
Chu Huan showed a suspicious expression, looked at Wu Shuhan on the other side and asked, "Did Li Weng send an invitation?"
Wu Shuhan nodded and said, "It is indeed sent, but I haven't had time to tell the boss yet?"
Before Chu Huan could speak, Liu Pingkui yelled "Oh" from the sidelines.
Wu Shuhan's face suddenly turned red, and he looked at Miao Kexiu and the others carefully, and said, "We really don't have time!"
Miao Kexiu and the others did not take this matter to heart at all. Chu Huan just smiled and said, "Reject Li Weng for me."
In Chu Huan's impression, in the Miss Hong Kong election in the 1970s, it seemed that except for one famous daughter-in-law of Tsar Huo, the others had already participated in the black and white video in advance, so there was no need to participate.
What they wanted from the side stove was a lively atmosphere. The group of people were chatting and laughing, and even the most reserved Wei Qiuhua gradually started to let go.
When everyone was almost done drinking, Chu Huan asked Qin Peng and others to send them all back.
Don’t drive after drinking, otherwise your loved ones will burst into tears!
Time passed like this day by day. When the time came to July, the media in Xiangjiang became lively again because they had received the news that Zheng Zhouyong of Hyundai Group and his sixth son Zheng Meng would be on July 2nd.
