Shiyok Shihuaiya did not tell Chu Huan about the development rights of the property at Central Station and Admiralty Station of the MTR.
This is also where Shi York and Shi Huaiya are clever. He understands that even if Chu Huan does not look for a partner for this project, he can still compete for it with the strong strength of Zhulu Real Estate. Analyzing Chu Huan's previous business behavior, we can see that generally
Chu Huan would not cooperate with others on such a project.
Since we clearly know that it is a result of rejection, there is no need to talk about it anymore.
"Shi Yoke is interested in the competition or my future development!"
Chu Huan understood what Shi York was thinking. If there is any Swire business that excites Chu Huan the most, it is actually Swire Cathay Pacific. However, it is obvious that if Chu Huan wants to become a Cathay Pacific holding, Swire will definitely not do it.
I agree, but if it's just an ordinary shareholder, Chu Huan is a little reluctant.
But anyway, the two parties are now in the cooperation stage, and Chu Huan also understands the Shihuai family's thoughts on Cathay Pacific, so there is no need to think about these things at this time.
Let’s wait until the Cathay Dragon air battle breaks out!
In fact, there is no need to wait until that time, maybe within a few years, Chu Huan will work well with Shi Huaiya!
After discussing the matter of investing in Swire Properties, the two parties shook hands and said goodbye.
In the days to come, what Chu Huan will focus on is the development rights of the properties above Xiangjiang MTR Station, Central Station and Admiralty Station.
Although there are many real estate companies in Xiangjiang, there are only a few of them. As Xu Yi said, the one with the highest voice in this matter nowadays is actually Land.
Before Zhulu Real Estate, Land was the largest real estate company in Hong Kong. Even now, Zhulu Real Estate has surpassed Land in terms of land reserves and the scale of some projects, but in Central, Land is still the undisputed king.
As the saying goes, there is no room for others to snore and sleep on the side of the bed. Real Estate is determined to win the development rights of the properties at these two subway stations.
"So, we only need to target Land Land?"
Chu Huan called Xu Yi, Wu Shuhan, He Bingguang, Lu Qi and others from Zhulu Real Estate to hold a small meeting today.
He Bingguang is now in charge of this matter and said: "Yes, recently the media often took photos of Niubijian and Xia Dingji coming in and out together. It is obvious that this is sending a signal to other bidding companies.
"
The Mass Transit Railway Corporation was established in 1975 under the Mass Transit Railway Corporation Ordinance (Chapter 270 of the Hong Kong Laws) as a statutory corporation to construct and operate a mass transport railway system in Hong Kong, and was established by the Financial Secretary Incorporated.
The trust form represented that it was wholly owned by the British Hong Kong government at that time and operated on prudent business principles to meet local public transportation needs.
In other words, the MTR Corporation is actually a public company under the Hong Kong government under the full responsibility of the Financial Secretary!
As mentioned before, there are three bidding methods for land sales in Xiangjiang. This time, the bidding for the property development rights above Central and Admiralty Stations of Xiangjiang MTR Station is not considered a land auction, but the bidding method actually used
The bidding method is the second bidding method of land auction.
The Hong Kong government will first list the land parameters, uses, and various restrictions on the two subway stations. Companies that meet these requirements can purchase charters and bid for them.
The specific method is to publish your bidding price, construction form, delivery date and other conditions in a newspaper designated by the Hong Kong government.
Although the bidding amount is a very important reference index here, it is not the only index. In the end, the subway company still has to hold a meeting to discuss and vote on the decision.
Chu Huan discovered an unexpected name among various bidding companies.
"Cheung Kong also participated in this bidding activity?"
Chu Huan pointed at Chang Shi's name in the list of companies participating in the bidding published in the newspaper and preached.
Shen Bi was sent to Japan, and Li Jiacheng lost his biggest backer in Xiangjiang. Chu Huan found it hard to believe under what circumstances Changshi bid for the development rights of the property in the subway station.
He Bingguang nodded and said: "Changshi did participate in this bidding. Why did the chairman suddenly ask about Changshi?"
He Bingguang has been busy with Zhulu Commercial Center, and he doesn't know much about the affairs between Chu Huan and Changshi.
Xu Yi understood Chu Huan's meaning better. After hearing Chu Huan's question about Chang Shi, he immediately explained.
"After Shen Bi left Xiangjiang, Cheung Kong's Lijiacheng quickly contacted the Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce. With the support of the Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce, Cheung Kong developed two properties in the North Point area. According to calculations, the profit should be 100 million It’s about Hong Kong dollars, and there are some other projects. After the meeting, I will organize them into documents and send them to your office, boss."
He is really an invincible Xiaoqiang!
Chu Huan not only lamented that Chu Huan was already blocking the road to Lijiacheng, leaving him with nowhere to go. Originally, in another time and space, it was a very important real estate on the development path of Changshi, the West Lake site on BMW Hill Road in North Point. It had already been bought by Zhulu Real Estate when it was still Hang Lung Real Estate, but I didn’t expect that Lijiacheng would develop a new property here.
The most important thing is that without the powerful helper Shen Bi, Lijiacheng actually developed the support of the Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce.
This is not the invincible Xiaoqiang, what is it?
"Chairman, do we need to pay special attention to Changshi?" He Bingguang couldn't help but asked Chu Huan.
To be honest, in He Bingguang's view, Cheung Kong really doesn't need to pay too much attention to them. After all, among the more than 30 companies participating in the bidding this time, Cheung Kong is at best in the middle of the pack.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Chu Huan thought for a moment and said: "No need."
I used to pay attention to Li Jiacheng because when Chu Huan was just starting out, Li Jiacheng was likely to become Chu Huan's biggest business competitor, but now the situation is different.
Although Li Jiacheng has found a backer again, in Chu Huan's view, Li Jiacheng can no longer bring any commercial losses to him at this time.
If at this time, you still let your company focus on Li Jiacheng, then you are really underestimating your current industry.
Although after this incident, Chu Huan believed in Li Jiacheng's ability even more.
This is a business genius that is rare to see in a century.
But being a business wizard doesn't necessarily mean that you will be able to grow up.
In the future, everyone will compete fairly. It would be nice to have such an opponent who can keep Chu Huan awake at all times!
"Yes!" Although He Bingguang was puzzled, Chu Huan's order had been issued, and he would naturally carry it out with all his strength.
"We can't just focus on the things that appear on the surface. Whether it's the bidding amount, architectural design, or other things, in fact we can't keep too far away from other companies. The most important thing is to focus on the subway company.
Regarding the current situation, the subway company is now burdened with huge debts due to the construction of Xiangjiang subway station, and the subway industry's repayment will be very slow.
That’s why the MTR Corporation and the Hong Kong government launched this so-called bidding activity for the development rights of the property at the MTR station, so what we have to do is try our best to get started in this area.”
Chu Huan told He Bingguang and others.
He Bingguang first wrote down Chu Huan's instructions, and then said: "Okay chairman, I will ask people from the project department to follow up on this matter!"
Chu Huan continued to ask: "When will the bidding project start to be announced?"
He Bingguang preached: "Three days later!"
Chu Huan said to Xu Yi: "Make an appointment with Xia Dingji for me!"
Although the relationship between Chu Huan and Xia Dingji cannot be said to be very good, and the other party is also one of the backbone of the Hong Kong government's opposition to him, Chu Huan believes that as long as the interests are suitable, there is nothing that cannot be discussed.
Xu Yi nodded and said: "Yes!"
Afterwards, Chu Huan discussed the details of the bidding with everyone, and then let them go about their own business.
After returning to the office and finishing the work at hand, Xu Yi walked in and said helplessly: "Boss, I just had a phone call with the Financial Secretary's Office. Xia Dingji's secretary said that their Secretary-General will not be available until the afternoon of two days later.
time!"
Chu Huan put down his pen and said calmly: "The announcement will be made in three days. Xia Dingji agreed to meet with us two days later. This is because he does not want to leave us too much time!"
Xu Yi nodded and said, "Boss, do you want to make second-hand preparations?"
Chu Huan nodded and said: "Okay, help me make an appointment with the management and board of directors of the subway company. I want to meet all of these people before meeting Xia Dingji!"
Xu Yi nodded and said: "Okay!"
Although the MTR Corporation is a subsidiary of the Hong Kong Financial Secretary, it also has its own board of directors and management, and everything operates according to a business model.
Although the Financial Secretary has great power to make suggestions, he does not have the power to make decisions. This is completely different from the situation back home.
In my hometown, administration is more important than business. This is the mainstream.
.
That afternoon, at the Jockey Club, Xia Dingji and Newbijian were sitting in a VIP booth, watching horses. Both of them were members of the Jockey Club, and they both had their own racehorses.
There is definitely no problem with Newbijian's labor, but if Xia Dingji only relied on his Finance Secretary's labor, he would definitely not have the spare money.
"Chu Huan's office called me today!"
Xia Dingji shook the red wine glass in his hand with a ferocious look on his face, because the horse racing had already begun in the racecourse.
Newbijian stood next to Xia Dingji, holding a thick cigar in his hand, and said with a smile: "I wonder how you answered, Sir Xia Dingji?"
Xia Dingji smiled and said: "I asked my assistant to tell him that I will have time to see him in the afternoon two days later!"
The smile on Newbijian's face became brighter and brighter. He pointed at the horse that had just crossed the finish line and said with a smile: "Congratulations, Sir Xia Dingji, the horse you bought ranks first again this time!"
Xia Dingji laughed, the flush on his face faded, and said with a smile: "My vision has always been very accurate."
The two clink glasses!
.
In the next two days, Chu Huan met with many executives and directors of the subway company.
Until an hour before Chu Huan went to see Xia Dingji, Chu Huan had just finished meeting with the director of the subway company's transportation management center.
Arriving at the Financial Secretary's office, Chu Huan came to Xia Dingji's office under the leadership of Secretary Xia Dingji.
Xia Dingji, who was working on documents with his head down, saw Chu Huan come in. He immediately stood up, put down his pen, walked out on his own initiative, and shook hands with Chu Huan.
"I'm really sorry, Director Chu. There have been too many things going on at the Financial Secretary's office these days. I only have time today. I hope Director Chu won't take offense!"
Chu Huan also had a bright smile on his face and said: "How could it be possible? It is very rare for Sir Xia Dingji to meet me while serving Xiangjiang."
The two of them sat down while exchanging polite words of asking for no money.
"Director Chu, I don’t know why you are here. As long as I can do it personally, I will definitely help Director Chu!"
The subtext is, if I can't do it, I'll be embarrassed.
Chu Huan said with a smile: "It's not a big deal. I received news that the subway in Xiangjiang will be open next year. One of them is to congratulate Sir Xia Dingji. After all, this matter was successful under your operation, Sir Xia Dingji. What's more,
One is to see if there is anything I can do to help the subway company. After all, the better the future development of Xiangjiang, the better it will be for us businessmen."
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Xia Dingji said with a smile: "If all the businessmen in Xiangjiang can be like Director Chu, then the work of our Financial Secretary will be really great.
.”
Chu Huan smiled and said: "These are all things we should do. I just don't know what services Sir Xia Dingji and us businessmen can do for Xiangjiang?"
Xia Dingji said: "There are indeed things, but now there are too many things that need to be dealt with by the Financial Secretary. When Director Chu asked so suddenly, I don't know where to start. Why don't you start with Mr. Chu?
Go back, wait until I think of something, and then go trouble Director Chu!"
Chu Huan frowned slightly, understanding that this was Xia Dingji rejecting him, "Since that's the case, we can only wait for another chance, but there is something I think you don't know, Sir Xia Dingji."
Xia Dingji thought that Chu Huan was talking about the MTR tendering matter, and smiled: "I wonder what Director Chu is talking about?"
Chu Huan said calmly: "Sir, you also know that I have a lot of business in other places, so I know a little about things outside of Xiangjiang. Recently, I have received news that the international public market has been discussing further restrictions on Xiangjiang textiles.
Regarding import and export, if there are no surprises, this matter will be finalized by the end of the year!"
Xia Dingji's expression changed slightly. Although Xiangjiang's financial industry, real estate industry, and shipping industry are all developing very rapidly, manufacturing has always been one of the important economic pillars of Xiangjiang at this time, and the textile industry is the mainstay of Xiangjiang's manufacturing industry.
If the textile industry is restricted by the public market, the impact on Hong Kong will be self-evident.
In fact, this is exactly the case. By the end of this year, the public market will disclose what Chu Huan said. Affected by this incident, Hong Kong will lose 1 billion Hong Kong dollars every year. The most important thing is that it will
10,000 people lost their jobs!
And behind these 10,000 people, there are 10,000 families.
This kind of thing is definitely not what Xia Dingji wants to see.
Sure enough, after Chu Huan finished talking about this matter, Xia Dingji's expression changed a little, and he said: "Director Chu, this matter is not a joke?"
Chu Huan said calmly: "I won't joke about this kind of thing!"
Xia Dingji's face became increasingly serious and he said: "If this is the case, the citizens of Xiangjiang will be in dire straits. As a well-known person in Xiangjiang, Mr. Chu, you must consider the workers of Xiangjiang!"
Chu Huan said in a leisurely manner: "It is our duty to contribute to Xiangjiang, but now there are some problems with Jiaku's capital turnover. If there are some good projects that can help Jiaku's turnover, at the end of the year, Wolf Smoke Game, Youth
The three factories of Toy and Endeavor Printing should be able to absorb more than 10,000 unemployed workers."
Xia Dingji's expression changed slightly, and he understood that what Chu Huan had been thinking about from beginning to end was actually the development rights of the property built on top of Central Station and Admiralty Station.
A mere 10,000 workers losing their jobs is not a big problem and can be accepted!
"Then I would like to thank Director Chu first on behalf of the unemployed workers in Xiangjiang, but it is a pity that our Financial Secretary does not have any good projects to introduce to Director Chu. Otherwise, I will definitely help Director Chu!"
Chu Huan knew that it was no longer necessary for him to continue like this with Xia Dingji, so he stood up and said with a smile: "If this is the case, it is really a pity. I hope that I will have the opportunity to cooperate with Sir Xia Dingji and you, the Financial Secretary, again in the future!"
"There will always be!" Xia Dingji said with a smile.
The two shook hands and then parted.
.
"Boss, how's it going?"
Wu Shuhan was sitting in the car waiting for Chu Huan. When he saw Chu Huan coming out, he asked directly.
Chu Huan shook his head and said: "It seems that the other party will definitely not support us!"
Wu Shuhan said helplessly: "If the Financial Secretary is unwilling to support us, it will be difficult to win this project. Even if you, boss, have negotiated with many people from the subway company, it is difficult to guarantee
These people will definitely be able to withstand Xia Dingji’s pressure!”
Although Xia Dingji, the Financial Secretary, has no direct say in the subway company, the subway company cannot develop without the support of the Financial Secretary.
That's why Wu Shuhan felt a little helpless at this time.
Chu Huan felt helpless because of the anger, and said with a smile: "We must do everything we can to obey fate. We have done everything we should do. If the result is still not good..."
Wu Shuhan also wanted to adjust the atmosphere, so he answered: "Then just accept your fate!"
Chu Huan shook his head and said: "Wrong, if we have done everything we should do and the result is still not good, then we should find a way to prevent those who gave us bad results from getting any good!"
Wu Shuhan: "......"
Only then did she remember that her boss was not so easy to admit defeat.
"Then what should we do now?" Wu Shuhan asked Chu Huan.
Chu Huan said: "I'm hungry. Let's find a place to eat first. We have to attend Mrs. Guo's funeral tomorrow morning. In the following time, help me continue to meet with MTR executives and board members."
Wu Shuhan said worriedly: "In this case, there will only be one afternoon left!"
Chu Huan smiled and said: "Don't worry, even after these companies have announced their bidding plans, there will still be a period of time, and the MTR will also need to hold a meeting to study it!"
Wu Shuhan nodded.
.
"Chairman, I just received news that Chu Huan met with Xia Dingji from the Financial Secretary this afternoon, but the conversation between the two parties must not have been pleasant!"
At the Changshi headquarters, Sheng Songsheng was talking to Li Jiacheng about Chu Huan.
In the past year, Changshi's life has been mixed. After the failure of the competition with Wheelock, Shen Bi lost power at HSBC, and Li Jiacheng lost his biggest backer. Fortunately, he sold the shares of Hefu Group to
Chu Huan gave Changshi a certain amount of cash flow.
Although the cash is money borrowed from HSBC, Lijiacheng can still operate the funds before the loan date arrives.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! At the same time, the shares sold to Chu Huanhefu also made a little profit, so Changshi was not beaten to death with a stick.
In addition, what makes Li Jiacheng feel fortunate is that he has always had a good relationship with the Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce before contacting Shen Bi. Now Li Jiacheng has resumed cooperation with the Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce.
It can be said that Changshi really got through that difficult period.
After entering this year, in April, Cheung Kong completed an important acquisition, that is, it acquired all the shares of the American-owned Evergreen Company, which owns the Hilton Hotel in Central District, for HK$230 million.
This transaction finally brought Cheung Shi into the heart of Xiangjiang.
At that time, many people were not optimistic about this acquisition, but when it was announced that the existing Hilton building would be demolished and a new commercial building rebuilt, this negative attitude instantly became optimistic.
First of all, this piece of land is located at No. 1 Queen's Road Central, Hong Kong Central. The land itself is already valuable. If it is renovated, it will not be in line with existing interests.
No one could have imagined that Lijiacheng would have such great courage and would directly push for reconstruction. If this was the case, no one knew what kind of existence this building would become in the end.
Uh... Chu Huan knows, because this will become the headquarters of Changshi!
In addition, the U.S.-owned Evergreen Company not only owns the Xiangjiang Hilton Hotel, but also owns a Hyatt Hotel in Bali, Indonesia.
Put yourself to death and live again.
This is Li Jiacheng’s analysis of Changshi.
Hearing what Sheng Songsheng said at this time, Li Jiacheng's face changed slightly, but he did not ask Sheng Songsheng about the outcome of Chu Huan's meeting with Xia Dingji, but asked: "Who told you about this?"
People in Lijiacheng have never stared at Chu Huan.
Seeing how serious Li Jiacheng was, Sheng Songsheng said, "It was a project manager from Real Estate who called me this afternoon to tell me about this!"
Li Jiacheng pondered for a moment and said: "That's right. Landlord obviously wants us to continue to bite Chu Huan, so that they can reap the benefits!"
Sheng Songsheng was stunned for a moment and said: "Chairman, do you mean that the other party told me this matter on purpose?"
"Otherwise?" Li Jiacheng said firmly: "Chu Huan went to see Xia Dingji this afternoon, and he knew the news on his mucous membrane. A project manager told you this. This matter is inherently unusual."
Sheng Songsheng immediately understood what Li Jiacheng meant, and said angrily: "These people are really hateful!"
Li Jiacheng waved his hands and said: "Okay, there is no point in talking about this now. There is no need to pay special attention to Chu Huan in the future. We are not his opponents at all. Now we just need to ensure that we do our own thing well!"
When things have come to this point, Li Jiacheng has finally understood that doing business in Xiangjiang and going against Chu Huan is simply seeking death. He had Shen Bi's support before, but he had never won, let alone now that he doesn't have Shen Bi's support.
Woolen cloth.
"What about this bidding case?" Sheng Song asked aloud.
Li Jiacheng said: "Normal competition, as for those messy things, don't think about it. If you can win, just do it well. If you can't win, just think about the next project!"
Sheng Songsheng nodded helplessly at first, and then said excitedly: "But this time I am still very optimistic about our bidding plan. I think all companies participating in the bidding in Xiangjiang are now looking at the situation of these two bids.
It seems that no one has noticed the current financial crisis of the MTR Corporation. As long as our proposal is included in the opening time of the Hong Kong Metro next year, it is impossible for the MTR Corporation not to adopt our tender document!"
Li Jiacheng nodded somewhat reservedly and said, "I hope so!"
.
The next day, morning!
The junction of King's Road and Java Road in North Point, Heung Kong Funeral Parlor!
As the largest funeral parlor in Xiangjiang, it has always been the place where celebrities in Xiangjiang say goodbye.
Today, the wreaths have been piled outside the funeral parlor. If you look closely, you will find that they are all sent by rich people in Hong Kong. However, the protagonist who left today is not well-known in Hong Kong. Even some senior reporters do not know this person.
Who is the old lady?
Chu Huan's car stopped here, and Chu Huan, wearing a black suit, got out of the car.
Zhike, who was in charge of welcoming guests, invited Chu Huan in. Chu Huan was neither the first nor the last to come. When Chu Huan walked into the hall, he saw Zhang Yulin, the two brothers Zhang Yuliang and other members of the Zhang family.
At this time, the children were all standing there in black clothes, while the female relatives of the family were sitting on their knees burning paper money.
After bowing three times, Chu Huan came to the family members and shook hands with brothers Zhang Yulin and Zhang Yuliang: "My condolences!"
In Chu Huan's opinion, this is actually nonsense, and there is no difference between a happy wedding and a happy wedding.
This is what must be said on such occasions.
Zhang Yuliang stood looking at Chu Huan seriously. If Chu Huan's secretary hadn't called him before to tell him the situation, Zhang Yuliang would have been very angry at this time.
But now that I know that Chu Huan just came to express his condolences, it's hard to say anything.
Naturally, there was nothing more to say in the current situation. After saying a few words: "My condolences and understanding," and another two sentences: "Thank you," Chu Huan came to the guest area and sat down.
Chu Huan noticed that the people who came were all old people from the Xiangjiang business community, and even Yan Chengkun was sitting there.
