‘Jiaku officially takes over CMB and KMB, unifying the bus industry in Hong Kong!’--"Hong Kong Economic Journal"!
"Just today, after China and Pakistan held a press conference yesterday to announce that Jiaku Consulting Company has become the largest shareholder of China Bus Company, Hong Kong people have not yet come out of the shock of Jiaku's entry into the transportation industry.
Kowloon Bus also issued the same statement today, and Jiaku Consulting Company officially became the largest shareholder of Kowloon Bus Motor Company.
There has been no news on the market about these two transactions before, which shows how confidential Chu Huan, CMB, and KMB are on this matter.
As we all know, Jiaku Consulting Company is a private company of Chu Huan. Before this, it rarely appeared to formally participate in the acquisition or sale of a company. What outsiders knew was that it helped Qi Dezun reform the management of Hehe International and the company's downsizing and other plans.
Now this situation has changed. Jiaku Consulting Company has officially entered the market and acquired two companies, CMB and KMB.
As the only two bus companies in Hong Kong, Chu Huan's move is tantamount to unifying the bus industry in Hong Kong.
Before this, when everyone mentioned Chu Huan's Jiaku series, they would think of comics, movies, toys, games, real estate and other industries, but now Chu Huan has developed his business tentacles into the bus industry.
Then can we understand that Chu Huan has begun to develop his business tentacles towards people's livelihood?"
This morning, the Hong Kong Economic Journal published the news that Chu Huan had invested in Kowloon Bus.
In fact, not only the Hong Kong Economic Journal, but almost all media in Hong Kong are reporting on this matter.
No one expected that Chu Huan, who had not made any big moves for more than a year, would immediately acquire the shares of CMB and KMB and become their respective major shareholders.
Naturally, there have been various discussions about this situation. Some people think that Chu Huan's move is optimistic about the development of Xiangjiang's public utilities, and it is also optimistic about the future development of Xiangjiang.
In addition, some people say that Chu Huan is actually doing this to prepare for his own Zhulu Real Estate. After all, after becoming the major shareholder of KMB and CMB, no matter where in Xiangjiang, as long as there is a Zhulu Real Estate property, then
You don't have to worry about traffic problems.
Since all media in Hong Kong are reporting on this matter, "True News" will naturally be no exception!
As Chu Huan's official newspaper, the report on this matter was naturally biased towards Chu Huan.
‘Subjugation without a fight is the most peaceful acquisition in Hong Kong’s commercial history!’--"True News"
"Regarding the acquisition of the shares of Hua Bus and Kowloon Bus by Xiangjiang Jiaku Consulting Company and becoming its major shareholder, our newspaper is very honored to interview Ms. Xu Yi, the general manager of Xiangjiang Jiaku Consulting Company, Mr. Yan Chengkun, the general manager of Hua Bus Motor Company, and Kowloon Bus
Chairman Mr. Lei Juehua.”
Seeing this beginning, the major media in Hong Kong were furious. This is pure bullying. "True News" belongs to Chu Huan. Now Kowloon Bus and Hua Bus Chu Huan are also the largest shareholders. Don't you think
We can get interviews through interviews, what about us?
Our reporters waited hard for several hours downstairs in their respective companies, but still found nothing.
But no matter how much you complain in your heart, you still have to read this report, then look for useful content in this report, and then excerpt it for a second report.
Fortunately, except for "True News" and "Tiantian Daily", everyone is the same!
"Hello, reporter Miss Xu Yi, we all know that Jiaku Consulting Company belongs to Mr. Chu Huan's private think tank. Before this, apart from participating in the reform of Hehe International, there was no other action. Now everyone is very hopeful.
Do you know why the business activities of the two companies, CMB and KMB, were carried out by Jiaku Consulting Company instead of Mr. Chu Huan’s other companies?
Xu Yi is actually very easy to understand. CMB and KMB are both listed public companies in Hong Kong. Our boss is very optimistic about the future development of Xiangjiang. Naturally, he is also optimistic about the future of CMB and KMB, which serve the people of Xiangjiang.
has developed. As for why Jiaku Consulting Company was used for the acquisition, it is because Jiaku Consulting Company itself is a company with no business, so there is no need to worry about losing CMB and KMB for the future development of the company.
Benefit!
Reporters have noticed that after Mr. Chu Huan became the major shareholder of these two companies, although he sent people to the company's board of directors, he did not become the company's chairman. When acquiring a company, doesn't he want to manage the company?
?
Xu Yi, of course, is not the case. As I said just now, our company’s investment in these two companies is optimistic about the development of Xiangjiang. When it comes to these two companies, it is actually optimistic about Yan Weng and Lei Sheng.
Since Yan Weng and Lei Sheng have been very successful in managing these two companies, why should we get too involved!
Reporters Yan Weng and Lei Sheng, what do you think of this matter? Do you have any thoughts on Miss Xu’s answer?
Yan Chengkun had no other ideas. When Chairman Chu wanted to enter the bus industry, he had an in-depth conversation with me. It was during this conversation that we shared our views on the future of Hong Kong and the development of the bus industry.
They all have many similarities, so it is definitely a very good thing for our company that Director Chu’s Jiaku can take over CMB.
Lei Juehua, my thoughts are the same as Yan Weng’s. Chairman Chu is a rare genius in the business community in Hong Kong. But at the same time, during the conversation with Chairman Chu, I can also feel that Chairman Chu is a very socially responsible person.
He has always been very concerned about the transportation industry in Hong Kong. It is an honor for KMB to have him join us.
"
The exclusive interview in "Zhen Bao" is more like a mutual flattery in business. The insiders shake their heads when watching it, but the outsiders are very excited when watching it.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! But because of this acquisition, Chu Huan still left an impression on the people of Xiangjiang, that is, Chu Huan is a businessman who cares about the lives of ordinary people in Xiangjiang.
"In the future, we should pay more attention to where Zhulu Real Estate's properties are developed, and if possible, choose a site close to theirs to build our properties!"
Sun Hung Kai Center has not yet started construction, and Sun Hung Kai's headquarters is in another office building.
Looking at the newspaper in his hand, Guo Desheng sighed.
The two brothers Guo Bingxiang and Guo Bingjiang sat opposite Guo Desheng and nodded seriously. We are all smart people. Naturally, we understand what kind of impact they can bring to Zhulu Real Estate's future developments after becoming the major shareholders of CMB and KMB.
What a benefit.
"I didn't expect that Chu Huan would become the major shareholder of CMB and KMB so quickly, just after returning to Hong Kong."
Guo Bingxiang couldn't help but admire.
Guo Desheng smiled helplessly and said, "Actually, I already had the idea of acquiring a company of CMB or KMB, but I didn't expect that Ah Huan's actions were faster than mine, and he was one step behind!"
Guo Desheng has always wanted to acquire a bus company to serve his real estate company, but he has been struggling with it. Now, he no longer has to worry about it.
Chu Huan became the major shareholder of these two companies. Although these two companies will definitely remain listed companies due to the rules of the Hong Kong government, it is basically impossible to acquire these two companies.
"But I think there is nothing to regret about this matter. A Huan's acquisition is equivalent to our acquisition, isn't it? I believe that A Huan will definitely be willing to support us in opening a bus line in the future!
"
Guo Bingxiang didn't think much about Chu Huan becoming the major shareholder of CMB and KMB.
Guo Bingjiang had a different view, saying, "You can't say that. As the saying goes, it's better to have a mother than to have a father. Although the relationship between our Guo family and Chu Huan is good, after all, he is the major shareholder of these two companies. If
Our two families are competing in real estate, and I think Chu Huan will not give us the green light."
Guo Bingxiang wanted to say something, but Guo Desheng waved his hand, preventing the two brothers from quarreling.
"Now that this matter is a foregone conclusion, it is useless for us to say anything, but no matter what, these two companies are always better in the hands of A Huan than in the hands of other companies."
The two brothers Guo Bingxiang and Guo Bingjiang nodded and said nothing more.
In fact, discussions similar to the one with the Guo family are held in many Xiangjiang real estate companies, but there are relatively few people like Guo Desheng.
For example, the Luo family of Eagle Real Estate is really miserable at this time!
In another time and space, the past two years were the period of rapid development of Eagle Real Estate, but it was because Chu Huan wanted to make a fortune by joining forces with the four major foreign banks, HSBC, and Changshi to acquire Qingzhou Yingni.
, as a result, he didn’t make any money, but he lost his cooperative relationship with Chu Huan.
This also attracted Zhulu Real Estate to enter the industrial buildings in the Tsuen Wan area. As a result, Great Eagle Real Estate's industrial building occupancy rate has not been up to standard, and the payment collection has naturally been slow.
Fortunately, HSBC, represented by Shen Bi, began to support them in the later period, allowing Great Eagle Real Estate to avoid that difficult period.
As a result, just a few days after the good times, Shen Bi was defeated by Luo Yin Bentley in the internal battle of HSBC. Shen Bi was now sent to Japan, and they also lost their biggest backer.
Nowadays, the Luo family and his son of Eagle Real Estate can be said to be in constant panic. As a result, Chu Huan has now become the major shareholder of CMB and KMB.
"Daddy, I just got the news that China and Pakistan have opened a new bus line from Kowloon to Tsuen Wan!"
Luo Xurui said angrily.
It stands to reason that the industrial buildings of Great Eagle Properties are concentrated in the Tsuen Wan area. Now that there is an additional bus line from Kowloon to Tsuen Wan, it is good for their family's situation.
Luo Xurui shouldn't be so angry.
"So, the newly opened route is near the industrial building of Zhulu Real Estate?"
Luo Yingshi asked helplessly.
Luo Xurui nodded, "There are new stations just downstairs from them, including those in Tsuen Wan and the industrial buildings of Zhulu Real Estate currently under construction."
This is why Luo Xurui is angry. The site is located downstairs in the industrial building of Zhulu Real Estate. What a convenient condition this is.
Even if the industrial buildings of Eagle Real Estate are better than those of Zhulu Real Estate, tenants will choose to rent Zhulu Real Estate's industrial buildings as soon as possible after considering the traffic conditions, and they are even willing to pay more.
As one goes and the other goes, the future development of Great Eagle Properties' industrial buildings will be even more difficult!
"Daddy, if this continues, it will be very detrimental to the development of our Eagle Real Estate. We must find a way to solve it!"
Luo Xurui asked worriedly.
Luo Eagle Lion asked Luo Xurui, "According to your ideas, how should we solve it?"
Luo Xurui gritted his teeth and said, "Chu Huan is now entering public affairs with such a high profile. There will definitely be people in the Hong Kong government who are dissatisfied. Why don't we activate our relationship and make a fuss about this matter so that the Hong Kong government can use it as a monopoly?"
To restrain Chu Huan’s behavior.”
Luo Yingshi showed a disappointed look and said, "Why do you think that people from the Hong Kong government will definitely speak for us? Do you think your influence exceeds that of Chu Huan, or do you think that my influence surpasses Yan Chengkun, Deng Zhaojian and others?"
?”
Tang Siu Kin, nominal chairman of the board of directors of Kowloon Bus.
"However, there must be someone in the Hong Kong government who will be dissatisfied with Chu Huan's approach!" Luo Xurui said strugglingly.
Luo Yingshi said, "I believe this. Some people will indeed be dissatisfied, but now that this matter has been reported, have you seen anyone from the Hong Kong government come out and say anything?"
Luo Xurui was stunned. He had only thought that someone would be dissatisfied, but he did not see anyone from the Hong Kong government say anything.
This is wrong!
"Daddy, I don't quite understand."
Luo Gingshi explained, "Because this matter has become a foregone conclusion, if this matter spreads again before the acquisition, then someone from the Hong Kong government will definitely take action, but now this matter has come out too fast, too
It was so quick that it didn’t give anyone any time to react.
Those from the Hong Kong government naturally have no time to oppose this acquisition. According to Chu Huan's current influence in Hong Kong, in such an acquisition that fully complies with various business regulations, people from the Hong Kong government will come forward to criticize
this matter.
So it clearly means that the relationship between the Hong Kong government and Chu Huan is irreconcilable. In today's general environment, do you think the Hong Kong government will come forward and say anything about this matter?
In addition, why do you think Chu Huan only became the major shareholder of these two companies but did not officially take over? It is because those minibus drivers are from the Yan family and the Lei family. If someone targets Chu Huan at this time, it will be against the two companies.
Bus companies, when the drivers of the two bus companies go on strike, where will you put the face of the entire Hong Kong government?"
Why did the British-funded transportation company discuss with these two companies when it wanted to enter Hong Kong's transportation business? It was because of this!
Chu Huan was able to win the equity of these two companies because the minibus drivers whom Chu Huan could spend money on were on Chu Huan's side, but others could not.
Luo Xurui looked defeated and said helplessly, "Are we just going to endure it? The company will soon have an industrial building to be completed and rented out, but Zhulu Real Estate also has one. If this is the case, I'm worried about the leasing of the industrial building.
The rate may not even reach half!”
Luo Yinshi said helplessly, "I have noticed this matter. Don't worry, I have made an appointment with Luo Yin Bentley, the new chief executive of HSBC Bank. The relationship between him and Chu Huan is very good. If Luo Yin Bentley
If Teli is willing to come forward, I think the grudge between our company and Chu Huan should be over!"
Luo Xurui asked excitedly, "Is Luo Yin Bentley willing to help us?"
No wonder Luo Xurui was excited. The whole of Xiangjiang knew that Chu Huan and Luo Yin Bentley had a close relationship. Even Luo Yin Bentley was able to sit in the top class position of HSBC because of Chu Huan's help.
Now Luo Yinshi seeks help from Luo Yin Bentley to ease the grudge between them and Chu Huan. This is a bit unrealistic no matter how you look at it.
Luo Yinshi said calmly, "Luo Yin Bentley used to represent himself, but now Luo Yin Bentley not only represents himself, but he also represents HSBC."
If there is only one Chu Huan in Xiangjiang, it is not in line with HSBC’s interests.”
Luo Xurui nodded suddenly.
Whether they are on good terms with Chu Huan or not, how do various businessmen view Jia Ku's investment in CMB and KMB, but there is a group of people who really applaud this matter!
These people are the investors who once held shares of CMB or KMB.
As Jiaku invested in these two companies, the stock prices of CMB and KMB immediately rose a lot. You must know that as a public utility company, its profits are clearly stipulated, so their stock prices have always been very stable.
That kind of sudden surge occurs.
The main reason for buying their company's stocks is to ensure stability!
Because for this type of company, the stock price will not skyrocket, and similarly, the stock price will not plummet.
Even during the 1973 stock market crash, the stock prices of companies such as CMB and KMB were still relatively stable compared to those of other companies.
Now that the stock prices of these two companies have suddenly increased beyond the normal range, these investors are naturally delighted.
So some people wanted to take advantage of this high price period to sell their stocks of these two companies.
Under such circumstances, not only did the stocks of the two companies not fall, but because more people bought them, the company's stock prices remained strong and slowly increased.
For a time, this phenomenon in the stock market made many analysts puzzled.
"Don't worry about setting up a real estate company. You can wait until the heat subsides before proceeding!"
Chu Huan was talking about this matter with He Bingguang, the general manager of Zhulu Real Estate, and Lu Qi, the deputy general manager.
The two of them sat opposite Chu Huan and nodded at the same time.
"We have discussed it with the Yan family and the Lei family, and they think the same way."
After He Bingguang nodded, he told Chu Huan the results of their discussion with the two families.
Chu Huan nodded slightly, "It seems that they are also understanding people."
Now everyone is discussing Jiaku's investment in CMB and KMB. If it is revealed at this time that Zhulu Real Estate has cooperated with Yan's and Lei's to establish real estate companies, it will definitely cause some unnecessary trouble. Chu Huan is now
I don't like trouble.
Then Chu Huan asked the two people about the development of Huaye City and Zhulu Commercial Center. Now it has entered 77 years. In two years, the overall development of Huaye City will be over. By then, it will have the largest number of residents in Hong Kong.
The city within a city was born.
As for the development of Zhulu Commercial Center, it will be slower, but Chu Huan is not very concerned about this. After all, more properties in Zhulu Commercial Center are commercial buildings and office buildings used for rent, so the payment will definitely not be that fast, but
Chu Huan is not very worried about this, because in the next few years, office rents in Xiangjiang will also develop rapidly with the land prices in Xiangjiang.
"Now that the development of Huaye City is completely on track, the company's next large-scale project should also be on the schedule!"
Chu Huan was sitting there, tapping the table and speaking calmly.
A smile appeared on Lu Qi's face. Although the two largest projects of Zhulu Real Estate are Huaye City and Zhulu Commercial Center, Zhulu Real Estate also has many other real estate projects under development.
This involves residential buildings, commercial buildings, industrial buildings, etc. There are already 12 projects currently under construction in Zhulu Real Estate. All this is due to the two companies of Zhulu Real Estate, Hang Lung Real Estate and Huhua Real Estate.
During the downturn in Xiangjiang's real estate industry in the past two years, there was a frenzied acquisition of land, as well as the land reserves of these two companies.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! But no matter what, the development of these lands cannot be compared with Huaye City and Zhulu Commercial Center.
Now that Chu Huan is talking about a big project, it can be seen that even if this project is not as good as Huaye City, Zhulu Commercial Center is certainly not small.
Previously, Lu Qi had been in charge of the Huaye City project, and He Bingguang was in charge of the Zhulu Commercial Center. Now the big project Chu Huan mentioned is likely to fall on Lu Qi, and he naturally has reason to be happy.
Chu Huan didn't pay attention to Lu Qi's expression, but pointed to the map of Xiangjiang on the table and said, "Look, our Zhulu Real Estate has a piece of land here in Kowloon Bay, which happens to be connected to the Xiangjiang Taohua Datong land. If we can get Taohua
If we combine this land in Datong, we can build a building that can accommodate four to five thousand households, and we can also build our own shopping mall."
Zhulu Real Estate has always had a piece of land in Kowloon Bay. Lu Qi had told Chu Huan before that he wanted to use it for development, but Chu Huan rejected it. Now that he heard Chu Huan's plan, Lu Qi understood Chu Huan's plan.
It's not that Chu Huan doesn't want to develop this piece of land, but because Chu Huan previously thought that this piece of land was too small.
In fact, the piece of land that Chu Huan is currently interested in was purchased by Hang Lung Properties in another time and space. After acquiring Taohua Datong, Amoy Garden was built. In the end, the entire Amoy Garden was divided into four phases and 4,800 residences were built.
units and some supporting shopping malls.
The total investment is up to HK$9.4 billion.
Although there are not as many residents as Huaye City, projects like Huaye City are rare. A building with four to five thousand units is already a big project.
Lu Qi also showed surprise at this time and said, "Chairman, I understand. I will contact Taohua Datong next and either buy their land or their company!"
Chu Huan raised his forehead slightly and said with a smile, "That's what I mean!"
In another time and space, Hang Lung Real Estate started this project in 1978. Chu Huan now asks Lu Qi to operate this project. This project will not start construction until next year.
After Chu Huan discussed some details about the matter with the two of them, Chu Huan preached to He Bingguang.
"You also have something to pay attention to!"
He Bingguang did not compete with Lu Qi just now for the acquisition of Taohua Datong. It was not that he was high-profile, but that Zhulu Commercial Center had made him extremely high-profile.
But he didn't expect that Chu Huan also had a task for him.
However, He Bingguang did not hesitate and said directly, "Chairman, please tell me!"
"The MTR Corporation will soon start bidding for the property development rights on the old General Post Office and Admiralty areas in Central District. This matter must be won, and the low price is HK$300 million!"
Chu Huan preached to He Bingguang.
Before the acquisition of Hutchison Whampoa, how did Li Jiacheng lead Cheung Kong from a real estate company at the end of the middle reaches of the Hong Kong River to a real estate company at the backbone of the middle reaches?
The biggest gain was that Lijiacheng's Changshi won the property development rights on the old General Post Office and the Admiralty area in the Central District. This feat made Lijiacheng's Changshi the "glory of the Chinese real estate industry" at that time.
After Chu Huan returned to Xiangjiang, Xu Yi told Chu Huan about this matter. However, Chu Huan had been busy with various other things before, and now he had time to talk to He Bingguang about this matter.
After hearing this, He Bingguang said with some worry, "Chairman, if you win the bid for this project, it will definitely be profitable, but I got news that there are more than 30 companies participating in the bidding this time, and the Land Company is the most vocal. Now
You have just taken over CMB and KMB. Although there is no sound from the Hong Kong government, some people will definitely be dissatisfied. I am worried that someone will interfere with this matter!"
Chu Huan waved his hands and said nonchalantly, "Don't worry about anyone getting in the way. The Hong Kong government itself is not monolithic. Although the voice for land is high, it does not mean that they will definitely be able to get it. Otherwise, there would not be so many companies following them."
The competition is over, you just have to do it according to my arrangements, as for other things, I will be responsible for it."
The difficulty of the whole matter does not lie on the competitors, nor on the Hong Kong government, but on the MTR Corporation. The current situation of the MTR Corporation is not very good. It is a company with large investments and slow returns. In order to complete
With the operation of the Xiangjiang Metro line, the Metro company is now heavily in debt.
As long as we can provide sufficient funds for the subway company and ensure sufficient dividends for their opening next year, then the subway company will not be able to choose other companies.
When He Bingguang heard what Chu Huan said, he said nothing and said seriously, "Chairman, please rest assured, I will not let you down!"
Chu Huan frowned slightly.
After talking about this matter, Chu Huan had nothing to say to the two of them.
After the two of them left, Wu Shuhan walked in with other people from the secretarial department and took the lunch they ordered from Yong Kee.
"Shu Han, I heard that your cooking skills are pretty good. Next time, don't order food from Yong Kee. Make something you are good at and let me try it."
Chu Huan teased Wu Shuhan.
Wu Shuhan smiled and said, "Okay, but if it doesn't taste good then, boss, don't make fun of me!"
"Don't worry, the boss won't make fun of you, he will only punish you!"
Wu Shuhan ""
On the second day, Chu Huan did not have time to try Wu Shuhan's craftsmanship, but went to Fanling Royal Golf Course to play golf with Hong Kong Governor MacLehose!
