With Chu Huan's status in Xiangjiang, it is not a simple matter for him to return to his hometown. If it is made public, it will definitely cause quite a stir in Xiangjiang, his hometown, England and even the world.
Moreover, it was impossible for Chu Huan to just return to his hometown with a few people quietly.
Chu Huan, who has no connections in his hometown, must rely on Huo Tsarhuang's influence in his hometown if he wants to complete his return.
Hearing that Chu Huan actually wanted to return to his hometown to have a look, Tsar Huo immediately showed great interest.
But at the same time, he also had the same worries as Chu Huan.
"Ah Huan, you have to think clearly about your identity, status and social influence in Xiangjiang. If you go back, it will probably shock the whole of Xiangjiang!"
In today's Xiangjiang, only Tsar Huo can return to his hometown without any scruples. The rest of the businessmen will be affected to a certain extent.
Even the king of chartered ships did it secretly when he returned to his hometown for the first time. He first took a detour to Japan and then returned to his hometown.
Chu Huan sat in the living room of Huosha Royal Family and said with a smile, "That's why I came to see you, Uncle Huo. There are two main things I want to do when I go back this time. The first is to take Qingxia back to my hometown to find you."
Find her sister, and secondly, Wu Shuhan has been coming to Xiangjiang for several years, and she also wants to go back and visit her family’s grave!"
The current hometown does not have the conditions for investment, so Chu Huan has to find a reason for returning to his hometown, and Lin Qingxia and Wu Shuhan around him are two good reasons.
Especially Lin Qingxia, now that all the businessmen in Xiangjiang know Lin Qingxia's identity, it is most appropriate to return to her hometown as Lin Qingxia.
Emperor Huo only knew that Lin Qingxia was Chu Huan's woman and Wu Shuhan was Chu Huan's secretary, but he did not know their situation.
Now when he heard what Chu Huan said, he suddenly showed a curious expression.
Chu Huan smiled and told Emperor Huo about the situation of the two of them.
Emperor Huo nodded and said, "These two reasons have been established, but you still have to be careful the first time!"
Chu Huan nodded and said, "This is natural."
Huo Tsar thought for a moment and said, "In July this year, there will be an international football invitational tournament in my hometown in Beijing. I am going to take the Xiangjiang football team to participate. Why don't you come with me at that time?"
Chu Huan said impatiently, "Can it be earlier? I want to go back to my hometown as soon as possible!"
Although the investment conditions in his hometown are not mature enough at this time, Chu Huan just wants to go back and take a look. The conditions were not suitable before, but now they are. If he does not go back and take a look, Chu Huan always feels that he has some regrets.
"Haha!" Emperor Huo couldn't help laughing when he heard Chu Huan's request, "I didn't expect you, Ah Huan, to be more active than me!"
Huo Shahuang was able to accept the reasons Chu Huan mentioned before about Lin Qingxia and Wu Shuhan, but Huo Shahuang also understood that this was definitely not Chu Huan's real reason.
But there is no need to delve into this kind of thing. After thinking about it, he said with a smile, "Let's do it. After the New Year, I will go to Haojiang and discuss it with Brother He. If there is a joint recommendation from the two of us, I will
Ah Huan, your hometown should understand what you think!"
Tsar Huo from Xiangjiang and He Xian from Haojiang are the most die-hard hometown supporters in Hong Kong and Macao.
Chu Huan smiled and said, "If that's the case, that would be even better. But for the matter of going to Haojiang, it's better for me and Uncle Huo to go there together. I have always said that I would go to Haojiang to visit He Weng, but because of company matters
I never made the trip, so I just took advantage of this incident to pay a visit directly!"
Emperor Huo naturally had no objection to this, and said with a smile, "Well, after I make an appointment with Brother He, I will let Zhenting inform you!"
"No problem!" Chu Huan nodded.
After coming out of Huo Tsarhuang's residence, Lin Qingxia and Wu Shuhan both seemed very excited. One was able to fulfill her mother's wish and go to her hometown to find her sister, and the other was able to return to her hometown to see the place where she grew up. Naturally, the two
They were all very happy.
Lin Qingxia sat next to Chu Huan and said excitedly, "Brother Huan, when I go home this year, shall I tell my mother about this?"
Chu Huan thought for a while and said, "Bring your uncle and aunt to Xiangjiang. This kind of thing is still inappropriate in Taiwan. After arriving in Xiangjiang, let them live in the villa on Beacon Hill. Let's first
Go back and investigate the situation, and if you can find your eldest sister, we will arrange for your uncle and aunt to visit her in your hometown!"
Lin Qingxia said, "Brother Huan, you are so considerate, so I will book a flight back to Taiwan in the next two days!"
"Ms. Lin, let me help you!" Wu Shuhan sat in the passenger seat and said excitedly.
Lin Qingxia said, "Thank you, Miss Wu!"
Wu Shuhan said, "This is what I should do!"
Later, Wu Shuhan could not hide his excitement and said to Chu Huan, "Boss, when do you think we can go to our hometown?"
Chu Huan thought for a moment and said, "I think it will be March or April anyway, and we still have some things to deal with here!"
"From Xiangjiang?" Wu Shuhan asked.
Chu Huan shook his head and said, "Japanese!"
Regarding the acquisition of Yomiuri News, more than half a year has passed and it is time to wrap up, so Chu Huan is also studying the matter of going to Japan.
But before heading to Japan, Chu Huan also had some things to deal with in Xiangjiang.
So after the New Year holiday, Chu Huan met Liu Zhiyuan and Chen Tao from Fengwu Securities in his office at China Bank.
Liu Zhiyuan and Chen Tao were very excited to see Chu Huan again. As Cao Yunshang began to shift his focus towards the luxury goods empire, Fengwu Securities has officially appointed Liu Zhiyuan as the general manager of Fengwu Securities. Chen Tao
Tao is the deputy general manager.
In view of the fact that every time Chu Huan made any big move before, he would ask Fengwu Securities to take action in advance, so both of them understood that if Chu Huan found them at the beginning of 1977, he must have something important to announce.
And what Chu Huan told them also confirmed their thoughts.
"From now on, the company will slowly buy Wharf shares. As in the previous situation, this matter must be kept confidential at this stage!"
In Hong Kong, there are always a few important business acquisitions that cannot be avoided, and Wharf is one of them.
The impact of Wharf's acquisition in Hong Kong is no less significant than that of Li Jiacheng's acquisition of Hutchison Whampoa.
Pao Yugang also completed his great abandonment plan after acquiring Wharf.
However, the acquisition of Wharf was not so smooth. It took more than a year of turmoil. First, Li Jiacheng made a sneak attack on Wharf in 1978, and then under pressure from HSBC and Jardine, he finally took over Kowloon.
The shares of Wharf were sold to Pao Yugang, and then there was a battle between Pao Yugang and Yihe. It was in the following year, 1979, that the final decision was made and the acquisition of Wharf was completed.
Now Chu Huan has made this decision, a full year earlier than in another time and space.
The general environment has not changed much. Yihe maintains its identity in Hong Kong, and coupled with their investments outside Hong Kong, they do not have much energy to focus on Wharf. Therefore, although Yihe is still in charge of Kowloon
Warehouse, but in fact Jardine Matheson’s holding of Wharf is not that much.
Of course, Chu Huan didn't think about taking over the Wharf at once, but it was definitely possible to start the layout now. It would be enough to complete the acquisition of the Wharf this year.
This time Chu Huan doesn't even plan to use the name Hehe International, but will use the name Jiaku to acquire.
Although Liu Zhiyuan and Chen Tao thought that Chu Huan would definitely make big moves, they did not expect that Chu Huan would make such big moves and directly set their target on Wharf, one of Yi He's guardians!
"Don't worry, Director Chu. We have rich experience in doing this kind of thing and we guarantee that no one will know about it."
After hearing this, Chu Huan nodded with satisfaction.
"Then I'll leave this matter to you. After half a year, I want the results!"
"clear!"
Afterwards, the two left Chu Huan's office.
After the two of them left, Xu Yi came to Chu Huan's office, holding in his hand the operating status of various companies under Chu Huan's name last year.
This is not just Xiangjiang, North America's Jiaku Group, but also includes the operating conditions of all companies such as Kyushu Electronics, Yunhai Chain, North America's Apex-Disney Pictures, etc., which are unknown to outsiders.
"Boss, this is the data of these companies for the entire year last year. Also, after the Jiaku department enters the new year, each branch is waiting for you to hold a company meeting to tell you the development direction for this year!"
Xu Yi placed a pile of documents on Chu Huan's desk with a banging sound.
This shows the development status of these companies under Chu Huan's name this year.
Chu Huan also had a headache looking at this pile of documents. Every year when making a summary, it was a headache.
But there is no way, who can make his own industry more and more!
At this time, Chu Huan's industry can basically be divided into several major parts. One is the Jiaku system that is on the bright side, which includes Jiahu Textile, Black and White Media, Fantasy Comics, Zhulu Real Estate, and Wolf Smoke Games, which are well-known
Big five companies.
There are also Chinese Real Estate, Huahai Real Estate, Qingzhou Yingni, Li & Fung Group and other companies.
The second one is those unknown Hong Kong industries, the most important of which are Hehe International and Wheelock, and there are also two companies, Jiuzhou and Yunhai.
The three are Chu Huan's businesses in North America, which include Vertex-Disney Pictures, Alder Commercial Bank, KKR, Ford Motor, Microsoft, Ford Motor Asia Division, and other companies invested through North American Jiaku.
"My Iceberg Beauty Wife"
The four are Chu Huan’s properties in Japan, including Haiyun Real Estate, Palace Club, and the Yomiuri Shimbun Group that is about to be completed.
All these require Chu Huan to check the status of these companies one by one.
"The company's collective meeting should be held after the New Year, so that everyone can have a happy New Year!" Chu Huan said.
Xu Yi nodded and continued, "There is also this year's New Year's red envelope. Will it also be put on the agenda?"
Chu Huan distributes New Year red envelopes to the company's employees every year, which has become a tradition of the company under Chu Huan's name.
"Let's put it on February 1st so that everyone can have more cash to have a good year!"
Xu Yidao said, "I'll let Manager Liang do this. Lion called me before and said he wanted TVB to do a special feature on you giving red envelopes to company employees."
Chu Huan smiled, "Aren't you worried that Li Weng will lose his prestige in TVB?"
Black and White Media only holds a controlling stake in TVB, but Li Xiaohe is still responsible for managing TVB. However, even so, as the largest shareholder of TVB, Chu Huan still distributed red envelopes to TVB employees last year.
Li Xiaohe and Shao Yifu are notoriously stingy, so many employees within TVB are somewhat dissatisfied with them. Now Chu Huan is giving out red envelopes during the New Year, so even though Chu Huan rarely appears in TVB, he has also acquired
A lot of good feelings.
Distance is not only easy to produce beauty, but also easy to produce good feelings!
This incident also led Li Xiaohe and Shao Yifu to find Chu Huan and express their dissatisfaction.
But Chu Huan didn't care about it.
"I guess they also know that they can't stop you this year, so they can only join in!" Xu Yi said, "But this also shows that the two of them still have not given up on TVB."
Chu Huan didn't care at all about this and said with a smile, "As long as the controlling rights of TVB are in our hands, they can't afford to make any trouble!"
Xu Yi thought for a moment and nodded.
Then Chu Huan began to take a look at the company's situation.
Until February 1st!
Early in the morning, Chu Huan, accompanied by Xu Yi and Wu Shuhan, arrived at the black and white studio in Tseung Kwan O.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! The black and white studio has completed all construction tasks and has become the largest filming base in Asia.
Several deposit cars arrived at the scene with Chu Huan, and boxes of cash and banknotes were carried to the main building of the Black and White Image, where there were dedicated staff responsible for wrapping the cash into red envelopes.
At the same time, there were hundreds of police officers present, as well as thousands of security guards from the Jiaku Security Department.
At this time, the number of employees in the company under Chu Huan's name exceeds 100,000. Even if each person pays 1,000 Hong Kong dollars, there is still 100 million in cash.
What's more, what Chu Huan gave was not 1,000 Hong Kong dollars, but 2,000 Hong Kong dollars, which was more than one or two months' wages for many white-collar workers in Central.
A total of 200 million Hong Kong dollars in cash were transported to the scene. If it is not enough, you can withdraw it at any time from HSBC.
Not only Chu Huan and others came, but all the major media in Xiangjiang were also dispatched. However, among them, only TVB, "True News" and "Tian Tian Daily" were allowed to enter the black and white studio for on-site photography, and two newspapers.
.
The rest can only be taken on the periphery to take photos of people having abortions.
In addition, today is also the open day of the black and white studio. All employees of the Jiaku department can bring their families over to take photos and visit here.
So today the black and white studio has become the busiest place in Hong Kong.
Of course, it is impossible for everyone to come to the red envelope site for 100,000 people, but to come in batches according to different companies.
Naturally, the first batch of people to receive red envelopes were those with black and white images.
Helping Chu Huan distribute red envelopes was Fang Jianhui, the general manager of Black and White Image, Cheng Long, the most popular movie star of Black and White Image, and Li Hanxiang, the most qualified director.
It's just that Chu Huan looked a little helpless when he looked at the person in front of him.
"Are you coming to cause trouble too?"
Zhao Yazhi laughed and said, "I am a signed artist of Black and White Video, so naturally I have to come to receive the red envelope."
Those who get red envelopes are not only the company's employees, but also contracted artists. Of course, these contracted artists who are currently famous cannot care about the two thousand red envelopes, but they also hope to get a good fortune.
Chu Huan rubbed Zhao Yazhi's head and handed her a red envelope.
"Thank you, Chairman!" Zhao Yazhi smiled happily.
When Zhao Yazhi left, Lin Qingxia was naturally the one standing behind her.
"Happy New Year, bring me the red envelope!" Lin Qingxia also said with a smile.
Chu Huan rubbed Lin Qingxia's head lovingly, and then handed her a red envelope.
"Where's mine!" Miao Kexiu followed closely.
"Are you also making trouble with the two of them?" Chu Huan tapped Miao Kexiu's chin and said with a smile.
Being treated by Chu Huan with such an intimate gesture in such an environment, Miao Kexiu's face turned red, but she still smiled and said, "Isn't it the right thing to receive red envelopes in the New Year!"
Chu Huan handed Miao Kexiu a red envelope.
Following closely are the black and white image artists, including Xu Guanwen, who was the box office leader in the Hong Kong film industry at this time. Although Xu Guanwen has founded his own Xu's Pictures, Xu's Pictures belongs to Black and White Image Holdings
, Xu Guanwen himself also has a film contract with Black and White Video, so strictly speaking, he is also a contracted artist of Black and White Video.
After Xu Guanwen, there are the remaining three Xu brothers. Chu Huan also specially chatted with Xu Guanjie for a few words.
"If you receive a red envelope from Black and White Video, there won't be any for you from Youyu Records!" Chu Huan and Xu Guanjie joked.
Xu Guanjie is not only a signed artist of Black and White Video, but also a signed singer of Youyu Records.
Xu Guanjie smiled and said, "That won't work, Mr. Huan, I'll give you two jobs, and you will naturally give me two red envelopes."
Chu Huan laughed and handed the red envelope in his hand to Xu Guanjie.
Then came Mecca, Ishida, Huang Baiming and others.
These are now the backbone of black and white imaging.
But when Chu Huan saw Liu Pingkui among the crowd and wanted a red envelope, he was kicked away by Chu Huan.
After they finished, new generation artists with black and white images such as Chen Yulian and Zhong Chuhong also appeared.
Both of them are 17 years old this year. They are slim and graceful. Because they have worked hard in the film and television industry, even if they are unwilling to wear makeup, their daily attire is better than that of their peers of this era.
Coupled with their natural beauty, the two girls standing here attracted many people's attention.
"Thank you, Brother Huan!" Chen Yulian said sweetly after taking the red envelope from Chu Huan's hand.
Chu Huan smiled and said, "I saw your poster in Causeway Bay two days ago. I was still thinking at the time. This is an artist from that film company. It is so beautiful. When I looked carefully, I realized that it was an artist from my own family.
, Alian, you have changed a lot in the past year or so!"
Chen Yulian's face turned red and she smiled and said, "Brother Huan, you know how to make fun of others!"
Chu Huan said, "But this also shows that we haven't seen each other for a long time. Don't laugh at Ah Hong in the back. There is also you. You used to call me. Why don't you even call me now?"
"
Zhong Chuhong lay on Chen Yulian's shoulder and said mischievously, "Aren't we worried that Brother Huan is busy at work and will delay your work?"
"The reason is good, but I don't accept it!" Chu Huan chuckled and handed the red envelope in his hand to Zhong Chuhong.
The two beautiful girls left with a charming smile.
After these artists received the red envelopes, it was time for the black and white video and the staff on the black and white set. Here Chu Huan met Chen Yulian’s father, Chen Baoshan.
After smiling and chatting for a while, they continued to distribute red envelopes.
Just the employees of the entire Black and White Image took up Chu Huan's time all morning, and by the afternoon, they were people from other companies of Black and White Media.
"Your sister said you seem to be having problems these days!"
Looking at Gu Xiaomei in front of him, Chu Huan smiled and said.
Gu Xiaomei's face turned slightly red and she said, "Yes, she is a young idol now, so she cannot fall in love!"
Chu Huan nodded and said, "Since you said so, it seems that I have to tell the people at Youyu Records to create a character for you according to this character."
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "Brother-in-law~~~~~"
Gu Xiaomei quickly begged for mercy.
When Chu Huan saw this, he just smiled, gave the red envelope in his hand to Gu Xiaomei, and asked her to leave.
"Young Master Huan!"
Zhou Runfa, a contracted artist of TVB, looked at Chu Huan with excitement. When Chu Huan went to TVB before, Zhou Runfa blocked Chu Huan in the parking lot, hoping to leave a good impression on Chu Huan.
Now after several TV dramas, Zhou Runfa is somewhat famous in the Hong Kong entertainment circle.
But in his heart, he still hopes that Chu Huan can remember him. After all, Chu Huan's status at this time is still out of reach for artists like them.
Chu Huan smiled and said, "It turns out to be Fa Zai. I told Li Weng about you before. Li Weng said that the company has a good TV series to start filming this year, and the leading actor should be you. Come on!"
Seeing that Chu Huan still remembered him, Zhou Runfa immediately beamed and said, "Thank you, Mr. Huan, for your concern. I will definitely work hard!"
Chu Huan is not trying to deal with Zhou Runfa, but he is telling the truth. TVB is indeed planning to cast Zhou Runfa and Wang Mingquan to co-star in this year's TVB drama "Family Change".
"Director Chu, these people are probably impatient to let you take charge of TVB."
Li Xiaohe, who was standing next to Chu Huan and handing out red envelopes to TVB cast and staff, said with some jealousy.
"Li Weng, distance only brings beauty, but TVB's labor force is indeed a bit too harsh. Sometimes if you give them a little hope, you may gain unexpected results!"
Chu Huan said with a smile.
TVB has a fine historical tradition for being harsh on actors and actresses. In another time and space, TVB has gone through three eras, the Li Xiaohe era, the Shao Yifu era, and the post-Shao Yifu era. But no matter in that era, its stinginess
His character has never changed from beginning to end.
This also led to Wang Mingquan at that time shouting to TVB executives at TVB's Taiwan celebration party, hoping to increase labor.
Li Xiaohe said unconcernedly, "If you give them a salary increase today, they will continue to demand tomorrow. People's hearts are always greedy."
Chu Huan shook his head indifferently. Now that TVB is still at the helm of Li Xiaohe, Chu Huan can't argue with Li Xiaohe about this kind of thing.
However, in January this year, Chu Huan and Li Xiaohe met once. At that time, Li Xiaohe had already planned to retire. However, Li Xiaohe did not intend to give up TVB, but discussed with Chu Huan.
I want Lee's children to join the management of TVB.
Obviously, he wants to let the Lee family children succeed him and continue to be in charge of TVB in the future.
However, this decision was rejected by Chu Huan.
Chu Huan's future property will definitely be left to his son, but this does not mean that Chu Huan agrees with Li Xiaohe's approach. After all, tvb belongs to him, but to Li's.
Regarding Chu Huan's decision, Li Xiaohe was helpless, but he did not give up. At least Li Xiaohe believed that he was still energetic and could continue to work for a few years, so Li Xiaohe's calculation was that in these few years
Find some time to convince Chu Huan.
On the other hand, it is Shao Yifu's side, because Hong Kong's movies have not yet begun to decline. Although Shaw Brothers has been suppressed by black and white images, it is at least the second largest film company in Hong Kong. In addition, Chu Huan's shares in TVB, so Shao Yifu's side
Now I don't show any interest in TVB.
It has been a day since the red envelopes from Black and White Media were distributed.
The next day, Chu Huan began to distribute red envelopes from Zhulu Real Estate.
Chu Huan had been handing out red envelopes for a whole week, and this incident naturally caused a series of sensations in Xiangjiang.
‘The most humane company in Hong Kong!’--"True News"
‘The biggest red envelope in Hong Kong’s history!’--"Hong Kong Economic Journal"
‘Every company in Hong Kong should learn from the Jia Ku system!’--"Sing Tao Daily"
Although "Sing Tao Daily" wrote this, in fact Hu Xian's Sing Tao Group did not distribute red packets.
Even if some companies have it, there is no way to compare it with Chu Huan's Jiaku system.
There is no Internet now. If there were an online selection, Chu Huan's Jiaku Department would definitely be one of the companies that people in Hong Kong would most like to join.
Why do you say it is one of them? Because there are two companies in Xiangjiang that have done this, but they are more low-key. Except for the people in the company, outsiders don't know about it.
These two companies are Yunhai Chain, headed by Zhu Xiaozhao, and Jiuzhou Electronics, headed by Chen Haichao.
"Ah Huan, this time of year is when the most employees of our company leave their jobs!" Guo Bingxiang complained helplessly to Chu Huan at this time.
After the red envelopes were distributed, Chu Huan had a party with Guo Bingxiang, Zheng Jiachun, Feng Yongfa, Zhao Shizeng, Huo Zhenting, Michael Kadoorie, Tang Yunian and others!
Chu Huan smiled easily and said, "You Sun Hung Kai can do this too!"
Guo Bingxiang looked at Chu Huan like a monster and said, "You think we are all just like you!"
However, everyone also knew that this was the tradition of Chu Huan Company, and after complaining for a few words, they stopped mentioning this matter.
"Ah Huan, when are you going to Tokyo?" Zhao Shizeng asked with excitement.
