After Hehe International acquired Wheelock last year, it has been actively promoting the delisting and privatization process of these two companies, and now it has begun to bear fruit.
First of all, it is Hehe International. Qi Dezun has completed the wholly-owned acquisition of Huangpu Shipyard, and officially included Huangpu Shipyard as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Hehe International.
This is different from another time and space. In another time and space, Hehe International under the leadership of Wei Li merged with Huangpu Shipyard. After paying a part of Hehe International's shares, it exchanged for the remaining shares of Huangpu Shipyard. Both parties
Eventually merged into Hutchison Whampoa.
This time, with the support of Chu Huan's capital, Hehe International, led by Qi Dezun, directly purchased Huangpu Shipyard with cash, so the name was not changed in the end. Hehe International was still called Hehe International.
It is precisely because of this acquisition and the acquisition of Wheelock that the shares held by Star Investment, the holding company of Hehe International, have increased significantly. At this time, the small shareholders of Hehe International have already held shares of Hehe International.
It can be ignored to the point of neglect.
In addition, at this time, the three major controlling parties of Hehe International were Star Investment controlled by Qi Dezun, which was mistakenly believed by outsiders, and Jiaku owned by Chu Huan. The remaining one was HSBC, which was currently undergoing a transition from old to new.
"Now if you want to complete the delisting and privatization of Hehe International, you only need to get HSBC's shares in Hehe International!"
Qi Dezun first told Chu Huan about the delisting and privatization of Hehe International.
Chu Huan said, "How is your relationship with HSBC?"
At this time, Chu Huan was not suitable to appear in the delisting and privatization process of Hehe International, so this matter was still completed by Qi Dezun.
"The Romance of Fairy Wood"
Qi Dezun said, "Saya has been busy acquiring the North American Ocean Milan Bank and has not talked to me in detail about this matter. I plan to wait for Luo Yin Bentley to talk about this matter in detail after he comes to power.
matter."
Chu Huan pondered for a moment and didn't say much about this matter. Although his relationship with Luo Yin Bentley was a combination of interests, Luo Yin Bentley was about to sit in the senior class of HSBC, the quasi-central bank of Hong Kong.
Whether the position can be the same as before, Chu Huan has no way to make a decision now.
Therefore, Chu Huan will not tell Luo Yin Bentley what happened between him and Hehe International until this matter becomes clear.
"Where's Wheelock?"
Qi Dezun said with a smile, "The situation at Wheelock is a bit complicated. In the past six months, we have basically been adjusting Wheelock's management. As for the listed companies under the company, in addition to selling Lane Crawford to Ms. Cao's
After Empire Fashion Group, there has been no other action, but now many real estate companies in Hong Kong have approached Wheelock, hoping to jointly develop their land with Wheelock, or want to buy it from Wheelock
Some land, and some shipping companies in Xiangjiang are doing the same thing, but they have replaced the land with cargo ships."
After entering 1977, Cao Yunshang officially established his own Empire Fashion Group.
It owns Printemps Department Store in Paris, France, Printemps Department Store which is under construction in Japan, as well as Lane Crawford and Yunshang Boutique in Xiangjiang. At the same time, through operation, Empire Fashion Group sold Hua Department Store and Dah Sing Department Store under Lane Crawford to Zhu Xiaozhao
The sea of clouds chain.
In addition, in addition to these, Empire Fashion Group also owns two brands, Fendi and Prada.
It has become the world's top luxury goods group.
With sufficient financial support, Cao Yunshang's development is smooth and rapid.
As for Wheelock, Chu Huan did not expect that a management reform would last for such a long time, but there was nothing he could do about it. Hehe International had Qi Dezun in charge at the beginning anyway, so it just needed to clean up some corpses.
Just people.
But before Wheelock, it was controlled by the John Madden family and the Zhang Yuliang family. All the senior officials were basically their people, so it would obviously take a lot of money to eliminate these senior and powerful officials in the company.
It's been longer.
"Don't worry about these things for now. Just complete the delisting and privatization of the head office, some real estate companies, and shipping companies!"
These things cannot be accomplished in a short time, so after Chu Huan accepts Wheelock, he must continue to do this.
Qi Dezun has no objections to this. The completion of the delisting and privatization of the parent company of Hehe International and Wheelock will be his last move in Hong Kong's business history.
"Ah Huan, even if these two companies complete delisting and privatization, if you want to take over successfully, you will definitely encounter strong resistance. Have you figured out how to deal with it then?"
Qi Dezun reminded Chu Huandao.
Regarding this, Chu Huan had already made plans in his mind.
In the past, Hopewell International and Wheelock, as the four major British-owned foreign banks in Hong Kong, had to go through many obstacles to acquire them. Now the two companies have merged and become one of the four major consortiums in Hong Kong. If you want to completely control them, you can imagine the resistance.
Got it.
“This is one of the reasons why Wheelock’s management was adjusted right from the start!”
Chu Huan wanted to completely bring these two companies under the umbrella of Jiaku, but he encountered only two kinds of resistance.
Resistance from within, resistance from outside.
The internal resistance comes from the management. Although Chu Huan is the number one person in Xiangjiang, not all the ghost veterans are convinced by Chu Huan. There are even many ghost veterans who regard Chu Huan as a provocateur.
, provoking their status in Xiangjiang.
People who think like this still occupy the mainstream.
So now Chu Huan asked Qi Dezun to take the lead in targeting Wheelock's management, as well as the previous reform of Hehe International's management, in fact, they were all trying to solve the problem in advance for this internal resistance.
As for the external resistance, it is the mainstream groups led by Jardine Matheson and the Hong Kong government.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Chu Huan's current achievements in Xiangjiang have exceeded their bottom line. This is not what they want to see, if Chu Huan did not run his business empire
As a matter of fact, there are more business activities taking place overseas. It is estimated that they have already taken action against Chu Huan by this time.
Previously, Chu Huan was involved in the acquisition of Wheelock, and this was how the Hong Kong government took action.
But for these external resistances, Chu Huan has already been prepared to meet them.
So it is certain that there will be resistance when the time comes, but Chu Huan is confident that if he has been operating for such a long time, these resistances will not be a problem.
Qi Dezun said, "I hope everything will go well by then!"
Chu Huan smiled and said, "Everything will go well. When the time comes, I will have a big gift for Mr. Taipan. It can be regarded as a thank you for Mr. Taipan's contribution to Hehe International and Wheelock during this period!"
Qi Dezun showed an interested expression and said, "Then I will wait and see!"
Qi Dezun then told Chu Huan some specific details about the two companies. Although Qi Dezun tried to simplify it as much as possible, it was already past five o'clock in the afternoon when the two of them finished talking.
By the time Chu Huan arrived at the Beacon Hill Villa, it was already six o'clock.
The situation here is the same as Chu Huan's previous place at No. 12 Mount Galley Road, very lively.
After these few days of getting along, the relationship between Lin Weiliang, Ma Lanying and Lin Li began to become less strange.
When Chu Huan came here, not only were they there, Lin Qingxia's eldest brother Lin Chengsen and Lin Lixia were also there.
Some of these people were sitting in the living room chatting, while others were busy in the kitchen. At this time, they did not want outsiders to disturb their reunion time.
"Ah Huan!"
"Brother Huan!"
"Brother-in-law!"
Different names came from different people. Chu Huan responded to them one by one with a smile. Lin Weiyun and Ma Lanying expressed their gratitude to Chu Huan. Being able to find their family members in their hometown had completely solved their worries.
"Uncle and aunt, we are all family, so don't be so polite. Otherwise, if you do this, I will always think that I am a guest!"
Chu Huan said with a smile.
"That's right, that's right, one family shouldn't talk about two families!" Ma Lanying said happily, seeing her eldest daughter again, she couldn't be happier.
After chatting with everyone, Chu Huan and Lin Qingxia came to the garden.
"The second uncle, the eldest sister, and the brother-in-law have decided to stay here for a few more days before returning to their hometown. They said that although it is good here, they are already used to the life in their hometown and do not want to change their current life."
Lin Qingxia sat on a wicker chair in the courtyard and preached with a somewhat complicated expression.
Chu Huan sat next to her and comforted, "Everyone has their own way of life. Now that you have chosen it, even if you are family, it's hard to say anything."
Lin Qingxia nodded and said, "I understand, it's just that my parents can't accept it and don't want eldest sister and the others to go back!"
Chu Huan smiled and said, "Looking at you, uncle and aunt must have failed to convince the other party."
"Yeah!" Brigitte Lin nodded helplessly.
"Okay, don't think about these things. Since they are going back, you can accompany them around Xiangjiang during this period. If you need anything, just call Shu Han!"
Chu Huan preached.
"Thank you, Brother Huan!" Lin Qingxia said.
While the two were chatting, there was already talk about dinner in the room.
Chu Huan and Lin Qingxia went to the restaurant and had dinner with their family.
Although the rooms in Beacon Hill Villa were enough, Chu Huan finally left the place and left the space to their family.
After leaving Wubijia Mountain Villa, Chu Huan took a car to Miao Kexiu's residence.
Miao Kexiu had already fallen asleep. When she saw Chu Huan coming over, she asked in her pajamas, "Would you like to make you something to eat?"
Naturally, there are servants at home, but Miao Kexiu still hopes that Chu Huan can eat the dinner she prepared.
Chu Huan smiled and said, "I've already eaten before coming here, so go to bed early!"
Miao Kexiu nodded, and when Chu Huan came out of the shower, the two of them lay on the bed. Miao Kexiu tentatively asked Chu Huan, "I heard from Sister Yun Shang that grandma and her family came to Xiangjiang."
Although Chu Huan already has some affection for Mrs. Wu and her family, it is definitely impossible to say how deep it is deep down.
But the girls around Chu Huan don't know these things. In their opinion, this is Chu Huan's grandfather. His relatives in his hometown have now come to Xiangjiang. If they don't see them, they must be
It’s unjustifiable.
But if I go to see him, in what capacity will I go to see him?
Without Chu Huan's nod, they could only think randomly at home.
Chu Huan understood what they were thinking and said with a smile, "After I finish handling the affairs in Xiangjiang, I will take you to see her old man!"
With Chu Huan's attitude, Miao Kexiu no longer has anything to worry about.
There was talk one night and there was a lot of movement.
On the second day, after Chu Huan finished the breakfast prepared by Miao Kexiu, he took the car directly to Emperor Huo's home.
The meeting with Huo Shahuang was very pleasant. Huo Shahuang first asked Chu Huan how he felt about his hometown. After hearing that Chu Huan had not changed his mind, he became even more happy.
"Then for this year's football invitational tournament, will you come back with me?"
Emperor Huo asked Chu Huan.
Before that, what Tsar Huo wanted was for Chu Huan to return to his hometown with him during the football invitational tournament, but Chu Huan was a little impatient, so he arrived early.
The reality is changing so fast that people who don't know it now can't understand it. In Huo Tsarong's view, the invitational tournament at that time will not change much from the current situation in his hometown.
But Chu Huan understood that with Master Zheng's official appearance, the situation would undergo important changes, so he preached.
"When we go back, Uncle Huo can just tell me the time in advance!"
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Seeing Chu Huan so happy, Emperor Huo was also very happy and said with a smile, "No problem!"
After leaving Mr. Huo's home, Chu Huan returned to the company.
As usual when leaving the company for a long time, Xu Yi and Wu Shuhan came over with a stack of documents and found Chu Huan.
These are documents that require Chu Huan's signature.
evening!
Chu Huan left the company and came to Wuyue Club again, where he met the cheerful Luo Yin Bentley.
"I should call you Mr. Taipan now, right?"
After Chu Huan sat down, he smiled and joked with Luo Yin Bentley.
Luo Yin Bentley laughed, "It's still a little early, it's a little early!"
"It's getting late. I just returned to Xiangjiang when I heard that you have now started to take charge of the daily work of HSBC. Shaya's side has become a thing of the past!"
Chu Huan smiled.
Luo Yin Bentley picked up the wine glass and said seriously, "Dr. Chu, this time I can sit in the position of HSBC's top class, all thanks to your help before. There were many things before that there were too many people around, so it was inconvenient to talk about it. This time
I sincerely thank you!"
Chu Huan also picked up the wine glass and said with a smile, "Luo Yin, I am just following the trend. The reason why you are able to sit in the top class position of HSBC is because of your personal ability."
The two of them drank the glass of wine tacitly.
After Luo Yin Bentley put down his wine glass, he smiled and said to Chu Huan, "Director Chu, HSBC will have some cocktail parties next, you must be there to support!"
Luo Yin Bentley's background in HSBC is not deep, which also means that after he takes the position of HSBC's top manager, he will not be able to perfectly control HSBC as soon as he comes up, like Shen Bi from another time and space.
Therefore, in the early stage, Luo Yin Bentley needs the continued support of influential people in Xiangjiang, and Chu Huan is the supporter he must win over.
That’s why it’s said like this now.
Chu Huan nodded and said, "This is natural. I will stay in Xiangjiang during this period. Luo Yin, if you need anything, just ask."
Although he knew that Chu Huan would definitely support him, hearing Chu Huan's personal promise now made Luo Yin Bentley feel reassured.
"But I also hope that when I need your support, Luo Yin, in the future, Luo Yin, you can fully support my plan!"
If he had the support of HSBC, Chu Huan would have encountered much less resistance in officially taking over the affairs of Hehe International and Wheelock.
Luo Yin Bentley immediately smiled and said, "This is what it should be. I have said it before, the friendship between the two of us is everlasting!"
Chu Huan smiled and raised his glass again.
This meeting between the two was more about continuing to enhance their relationship and there was no real content to talk about.
But even so, the two of them chatted until late at night.
This time when Chu Huan came out of the Wuyue Meeting, he did not go to Miao Kexiu's residence, but to Gu Chengxi's residence. He had not seen many people for more than a month, and he definitely wanted to meet them all.
Gu Chengxi and Miao Kexiu had the same worries, but after receiving Chu Huan's affirmative answer, they also seemed very happy.
In the following days, Chu Huan met some friends in Xiangjiang one after another, and took care of the company affairs that had been backlogged for more than a month, so that he had some free time.
But this is only relatively the case these days.
It has now entered May, and the news in Xiangjiang has become lively.
The first thing is naturally the news that HSBC chief executive Saya is about to leave.
As the quasi-central bank of Hong Kong, HSBC's replacement of Taipan will cause quite a stir in Hong Kong. After all, HSBC's Taipan can represent the economic development trend of Hong Kong to a certain extent.
If the first thing happened when Shaya stepped down and Roy Bentley took over, everyone had already been mentally prepared for this. Then the second thing about Hehe International and Wheelock launching delisting and privatization was a bit unexpected.
The four major financial groups in Hong Kong, Jia Ku, Jardine Matheson, HSBC, Hopewell International-Wheelock!
Nowadays, Chu Huan's Jiaku is a private company and has not been listed on the market. If even Hehe International and Wheelock are delisted and privatized, you can imagine the sensation it will cause in Hong Kong!
These two pieces of news became the mainstream news in Xiangjiang during this period, and Chu Huan simply paid attention to them and put them aside.
Today, Chu Huan took Miao Kexiu to Mid-levels, the villa where Mrs. Wu lived.
The old lady is in a complicated mood now. She originally thought that it would be good for her grandson to have a wife and a confidante in Xiangjiang, but she did not expect that when her grandson was eating here last night, she told herself that a grandson's daughter-in-law would come to visit today.
she.
Not only this one, but there will be more in the next few days!
The old lady couldn't help it anymore, "Ah Huan, although young people are in good health, they must also know how to exercise restraint!"
Chu Huan smiled awkwardly. This was the first time an elder had told him this. Even Chu Duanqing had never told him about this before.
But fortunately, the old lady also came from the old times and was relatively accepting of these things. After talking about it, she stopped mentioning it.
"Don't be nervous, the old lady is very nice!"
Looking at the gifts Miao Kexiu was carrying, Chu Huan smiled and took some from the other party's hand, jokingly saying.
Miao Kexiu nodded seriously, but she didn't relax no matter how hard she looked. Even when she entered the room, she didn't know which foot to take!
Stress is an inevitable process. After the stress is over, you will feel better.
It didn't take long for the old lady to calm down Miao Kexiu's nervous mood. Chu Huan saw that they were chatting happily, so she didn't go over to talk.
Chen Xincheng curiously told Chu Huan, "Ah Huan, uncle, I have read a lot of newspapers and magazines in Xiangjiang during this time!"
Chu Huanxiao asked, "Can you understand?"
Although most newspapers and magazines in Xiangjiang still follow the normal writing style, there will definitely be some slang from Xiangjiang mixed in, plus it is in the form of traditional Chinese characters, so Chu Huan asked this question.
.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Chen Xincheng smiled and said, "Half and half, even those who are confused can probably understand the content."
Chu Huan said, "It's great. Reading the newspapers here will be of great help to you in integrating into this society."
Chen Xincheng chuckled and said, "This is not the most important thing. The most important thing is that there are a lot of reports about you, especially"
Speaking of this, Chen Xincheng took a special look and found that his wife Zeng Hong was not here, so he whispered to Chu Huan, "I mean, your romantic history is written in those newspapers!"
Chu Huan looked at Chen Xincheng's expression and asked with a smile, "Do you want me to introduce some friends to my uncle?"
Chen Xincheng's expression suddenly changed, and he hurriedly said, "Don't say goodbye. I still want to live for a few more years, but I didn't expect that Xiangjiang is so open."
Chu Huan laughed and said, "Just wait, my hometown will be more open than here in the future!"
Thinking of the situation in his hometown, Chen Xincheng shook his head and said, "How is that possible!"
Chu Huan didn't argue, and then chatted with Chen Xincheng about their finding a new job, and then dinner started.
Since then, the villa in the middle of the mountain has been lively every day. Gu Chengxi, Zhu Xiaozhao, and Zhao Yazhi also came to see the old lady one after another.
"Ah Huan, there should be no more, right?"
Seeing Zhao Yazhi chatting with Zeng Hong and Chen Shuli, the old lady asked Chu Huan a little exhausted.
Chu Huan sat on the sofa and said with a smile, "We don't have it here in Xiangjiang for the time being. Let's wait for the opportunity overseas!"
The old lady sighed and said, "Although your grandma and I don't care much about this kind of thing, your grandson's surprise to your grandma is too big. When we were in Shenghai, although some families also had such things
People, but this kind of thing is not very good after all."
Chu Huan said perfunctorily, "I will care about it in the future!"
When the old lady saw Chu Huan's attitude, she knew that her matter was in vain. She could only say with a smile, "But that's okay. I listened to your sister-in-law talking about your Chu family a few days ago. Those rooms
That's it. In the future, the incense of your Chu family will still depend on you to pass on. Now that you have so many girls around you, you should think more about your own incense.
And I’ve met all these girls, they are all good girls, but you can’t”
The old lady originally wanted to tell Chu Huan not to do anything that would be embarrassing to others, but thinking of the things Chu Huan did now, it seemed that she had already reached this standard.
"In the future, you are not allowed to do things that favor the new and dislike the old, you know?"
In the end, the old lady could only preach like this.
Chu Huan immediately became energetic and said with a smile, "Don't worry about this, loving the new and not getting tired of the old has always been one of your grandson's good qualities!"
old lady""
"Forget it, let's talk about your Chu family's incense. Although I don't know how big your business is in Xiangjiang, but you can see that there are so many outstanding girls around you, plus our current food, clothing and clothing
Du, the business is definitely not small, so you still have to pay attention to this, it is best to let Yun Shang give birth to her first child!"
Faced with the old lady's advice, Chu Huan agreed.
After talking about this matter, the old lady told Chu Huan about Chen Xincheng, Chen Shuli, and Zeng Hong.
"Grandma knows that you want everyone to live a good life, but you can't always rely on others, so you don't want to interfere in everything about your uncle and the others in Xiangjiang. Now everything you have given us has made us better than many people.
Everything will be fine. If you give more in the future, it is inevitable that your uncle and others will have natural thoughts. This is not helping them but harming them."
Obviously the old lady's ideas coincide with Chu Huan's. Now Chu Huan is responsible for their food and accommodation in Xiangjiang. The old lady has mentioned before that they are not suitable to live in such a good place, but
I was convinced by Chu Duanqing.
So for the next work, the old lady didn't want Chu Huan to help them anymore.
To put it simply, we are worried that they will become moths.
When Chu Huan heard what the old lady said, he told the old lady what he had thought before.
After hearing this, the old lady smiled and agreed with Chu Huan's suggestion, saying, "This is the best. It is good to eat with your hands."
"Um!"
After chatting with the old lady for a while, Chu Huan and Zhao Yazhi left here together.
"Grandma is very nice!" Zhao Yazhi sat next to Chu Huan and asked with a smile, "Brother Huan, can I come here often to visit grandma?"
Chu Huan nodded and said, "Of course it's okay. The old lady has just arrived in Xiangjiang not long ago, and she is a little lonely. If you can come and see her often, she will be very happy."
"Yes!" Zhao Yazhi nodded happily.
The two chatted and returned to Zhao Yazhi's villa in Beacon Hill. By this time, Lin Weiyun and others had returned to their hometown, Chu Huan had also gone to see them off, and Lin Weiliang and others had returned to Taiwan. However, their family had already agreed that in the future
I will move to Xiangjiang so that it is more convenient for them to return to their hometown to visit them.
Chu Huan didn't have any objections to this.
After a day's rest, Chu Huan went to attend Sha Ya's farewell party!
