In Wu Shuhan's view, deliberately smearing Chu Huan in newspapers was the first blow those people made against Chu Huan.
The Xiangjiang Film and Television Office proposed to introduce a classification system for movies and supported Wang Jingyi and others to create a Xiangjiang Film Festival. This was the second move made by those people.
Now using administrative power to take away projects that should belong to Zhulu Real Estate, this is the third cut made by those people.
Chu Huan was noncommittal about Wu Shuhan's views, mainly because Chu Huan really looked down upon the behavior of these people in newspapers.
"So which company won the bid?"
Chu Huan asked He Bingguang.
He Bingguang still said angrily: "Yihe's Wharf!"
"Wharf?"
Chu Huan was shocked by this answer. He thought that the person who took over the Zhulu Real Estate project must be a British-owned real estate company, but he did not expect that it would be Wharf.
"Do they still have money?"
It's not that Chu Huan doesn't like Wharf. Nowadays, Wharf's Harbor City is being developed in full swing. It's time to spend money. The same is true for his parent company, Jardine Matheson. In the past two years, its goals have been focused on the market in other places.
The entire Kowloon Bay MTR Corporation original site construction plan requires at least HK$500 million. Can they come up with so much cash at this time?
"Our people found out that Wharf has started preparing to sell off-the-plan properties, and there should be a bank loaning them part of the funds!"
He Bingguang reported to Chu Huanhui.
"Bank? HSBC?" Chu Huan asked again.
He Bingguang shook his head and said: "That's not clear, but with this project, Wharf only needs to survive this period, and then their future shortage of funds will disappear."
Chu Huan had calculated before that this project could bring in at least 200 million Hong Kong dollars in profits. Although this is still a drop in the bucket for Wharf's current Harbor City, with this funding, it can be greatly improved.
to alleviate their cash flow problems.
"Chairman, what should we do now?"
He Bingguang sat opposite Chu Huan, obviously unconvinced by the current results.
"If we lost to the other party based on our design in the bid document, then we would have to accept the defeat. But now the other party has obviously used off-the-table tricks to deal with us. The loss this time is really not worth it!"
Chu Huan looked at He Bingguang who was a little angry and said with a smile: "Are you telling me that we lost like this?"
When He Bingguang heard what Chu Huan said, he immediately showed an excited expression and asked: "Chairman, do you mean we can still make a comeback?"
Chu Huan did not answer He Bingguang's question, but said to Wu Shuhan: "Instruct the investigation department to investigate the specific situation of Wharf and come up with a plan as soon as possible."
At the beginning of this year, Chu Huan had already asked Liu Zhiyuan and Chen Tao from Fengwu Securities to secretly acquire Wharf's shares. At that time, he thought that he would wait until the end of the year to solve the problem of Hehe International and Wheelock.
He turned around to acquire Wharf, but he didn't expect that Wharf would now be on his opposite side.
Wu Shuhan immediately nodded and said: "Okay."
Then Chu Huan said to He Bingguang: "This matter needs to be carefully considered. I will inform you after I make a decision!"
He Bingguang no longer felt angry at this time. He didn't know what Chu Huan thought about Wharf, but when he heard Chu Huan's instructions to Wu Shuhan, he had some thoughts in his heart.
So the anger is gone, replaced by joy!
"Yes, Chairman!"
Then he turned around and left Chu Huan's office.
After looking at the time, Chu Huan said to Wu Shuhan: "Get the car ready, I'm going to TVB."
Wu Shuhan nodded and went to call Qin Peng.
After arriving at TVB, Chu Huan went directly to Li Xiaohe's office.
"I guess it's time for you, Ah Huan, to arrive too!" Li Xiaohe was not surprised when he saw Chu Huan. He smiled and said to Chu Huan: "Tell me, how are you going to deal with Li's TV?"
Li's TV blatantly made an interview to smear Chu Huan. Chu Huan had already taken revenge on Huang Wenhui's five newspapers. Li Xiaohe believed that Chu Huan would also take action against Li's TV.
Regarding Chu Huan's move this time, Li Xiaohe fully approved of it. After all, although TVB is now the TV station with the highest ratings in Hong Kong, it is still unable to dominate Li's TV in some periods of time.
Chu Huan sat on the sofa and said with a smile: "Li Weng, this time is an opportunity for TVB. If it is done well, I believe that Li's TV will never have any impact on TVB from now on."
Already."
Li Xiaohe laughed and said: "I'm just waiting for you to say this now, Ah Huan. Tell me your specific thoughts. I'll just make plans according to your instructions!"
Chu Huan nodded, without any courtesy, and directly stated his plan...
.
"It's over, it's really over this time!"
Not far from the TVB building, the Li TV building stood there. In the general manager's office, Huang Xizhao sat there with a lonely look on his face.
But this time, the person sitting opposite Huang Xizhao was not Bill Clifford, the deputy general manager of Li TV, but the young man Huang Xizhao valued most now, the production director of Li TV, Mak Tanxiong.
The name Mai Fangxiong sounds a bit strange, but in fact he was also a big boss-type figure in the Hong Kong entertainment industry in the 1980s and 1990s.
Li's TV's artist training class actually precedes TVB's. Many well-known Hong Kong artists have also come out of this artist training class.
The most famous one is of course Li Tianwang who failed to graduate from Li's TV artist training class, but he had already changed his name to Asia Television at that time.
Artists who came out of the beautiful TV era include the domineering Wan Ziliang and the most handsome Zhan Zhao He Jiajin. There are also many artists who have lost their fame in later generations but are famous now.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! During the Asian Television period, there were also numerous talents. In addition to the Li Tianwang just mentioned, there were also the peerless pomegranate sister Yuan Qiongdan, Zhang Min who was popular in the 1990s, Zhang Jiahui who has accumulated a lot of experience, etc.
wait.
In fact, Mai Fangxiong was also a person who came out of Li's TV artist training class, but he did not enter the front of the camera, but moved behind the scenes. It was he and another Xiao Ruoyuan who produced a TV series in the 1980s and 1990s.
A series of classic TV series.
"Top 10 Mysterious Cases", "Big Husband", "Jaws", "Crocodile Tears" and "Celestial Silkworm" are all produced by Mai Tanxiong.
Later, when Asia Television fell into disrepair, Mak Tan Hung moved to the big screen and once again supervised the production of very classic Hong Kong films such as "The Flag Soldier of the Province and Hong Kong", "The Lame Man" and "Black Gold".
Like Xu Ke, Mak Fang-hsiung exercises the power of director in the name of producer!
At this time, it was the first time that Mai Tanxiong saw such a lonely situation in Huang Xizhao, and he couldn't help but ask.
"Manager Huang, we are just reporting normally. If Chu Huan is even angry about this kind of thing, is he a little too stingy? And today's news is not included. The talk show a few days ago was done by Bill Clifford.
If Chu Huan really wants to take action, he should take action against Bill Clifford?"
Just now, Li's TV broadcast two special news.
The first one is that Wang Jingyi, Su Weichen and Ou Jiande, with the support of the Hong Kong Film and Television Office, will hold the Hong Kong Film Festival in one month. At that time, Li TV will broadcast the entire Hong Kong Film Festival live.
The second one is about the results of the bidding for the property development rights on the original Kowloon Bay site of the MTR Corporation. This time the bidding was officially won by the Hong Kong Wharf Company, while the previously popular Zhulu Real Estate failed to win the bid, and the popularity collapsed!
"hehe!"
Huang Xizhao smiled bitterly and said: "It would be nice if things were that simple. Who is Chu Huan? He is the richest man in Hong Kong. Even if the Hong Kong government wants to target Chu Huan now, it can only do so under Chu Huan's huge business
In the empire, look for the film industry and real estate industry with the least influence.
Li TV could have sat back and watched the fight between tigers and tigers. If Chu Huan was really successfully suppressed by the Hong Kong government, TVB would definitely be affected by that time.
But that idiot Bill Clifford sent Leigh's TV to the battlefield.
Originally, I approached Shao Yifu, hoping that Shao Yifu could make peace and ease the grievances between Chu Huan and our Li TV, but I just received a call from Shao Yifu.
Shao Yifu clearly told me on the phone that since we have entered the battlefield, there is no possibility of escaping unscathed."
Mai Fangxiong was a little shocked. He didn't expect that Chu Huan would actually do something to their Li TV.
"Does he want to buy Li's TV?"
No wonder Mai Fangxiong thought so. In the past, when Chu Huan faced provocations, he often directly bought the other party, and the provocation was naturally gone.
Huang Xizhao laughed and said: "If Chu Huan really wants to acquire Li's TV, I wouldn't be so worried..."
Huang Xizhao is just the general manager of Li TV, not the boss. The duty station mentioned belongs to senior wage earners.
Now Huang Xizhao has long been dissatisfied with the voice of Ying Lunli, the boss behind Li TV. He doesn't know how to do it and keeps meddling in it. The most important thing is that he often diverts the TV station's funds back to the parent company. He just doesn't know what to do.
From Huang Xizhao's point of view, if the boss of Li's TV was replaced by Chu Huan, he might not be able to show off his talents without restraint.
But the problem is...
Ying Lun Li's voice is currently in good operating condition, which is a bit unacceptable.
Such thoughts only fleeted in Huang Xizhao's mind. In fact, the real reason was that Chu Huan was now the largest shareholder of Xiangjiang TVB. According to Xiangjiang's regulations, there was naturally no way to acquire Li TV.
Since I can't get you, then I will destroy you!
This is Huang Xizhao's way of thinking of Chu Huan.
Hearing what Huang Xizhao said, Mai Fangxiong was young and vigorous at this time, and said with a confident smile: "Manager Huang, just don't worry. If Chu Huan really wants to target Li's TV, then he can only
He may be working on programs and TV series, but he is specialized in the art industry. Even if Chu Huan is a genius, I don’t believe how powerful Chu Huan can come up with TV scripts.”
Huang Xizhao was somewhat comforted by Mai Fangxiong's words. This was his only comfort. Huang Xizhao did not deny that Chu Huan was a business genius, but as Mai Fangxiong said, there are specialties in the industry, and a TV station
The lifeline is their TV series and variety shows.
In these two aspects, Chu Huan has never shown any genius behavior.
"I hope so!"
In the end, Huang Xizhao could only preach like this.
Just as Huang Xizhao finished speaking, someone knocked on the door of his office, and the sound was a little urgent, which made Huang Xizhao feel bad in his heart.
The person who came in was Huang Xizhao's second fierce general at this time - Xiao Ruoyuan!
Xiao Ruoyuan graduated from Xiangjiang University and was Chu Huan's senior brother at the University of Hong Kong. After graduation, he entered a securities firm as a stock broker. However, he joined Li TV during the 1973 stock market crash. At the beginning, he worked as a news reporter and later entered TV production.
Served as screenwriter.
Known as the "Master of Screenwriting" in Hong Kong, Siu Ruo-yuan served as screenwriter for many of Mak Fang-hsiung's TV and film works.
By the way, Xiao Ruoyuan's son also entered the Hong Kong film industry, but he was a boss. The movie "All the Way to the West 2 Taixi" was produced by his company.
"What's wrong?" Huang Xizhao asked Xiao Ruoyuan immediately when he saw something was wrong with Xiao Ruoyuan's expression.
Chu Huan put too much pressure on him, which made Huang Xizhao immediately think that Chu Huan had taken action against Li's TV, but he could not imagine what kind of means Chu Huan would use to deal with Li's TV. This feeling
Huang Xizhao was very passive.
Xiao Ruo Principle was a little shocked and said: "Chu Huan, Chu Huan has taken action!"
"What started? What did he do to our Li's TV?" Huang Xizhao stood up immediately and looked at Xiao Ruoyuan with some fear.
Xiao Ruoyuan shook his head and said: "It is not against our TV, but against those English newspapers of "One Morning Post"!"
"Just attack us!" Huang Xizhao let out a long breath. He was almost scared to death by Xiao Ruoyuan's appearance. At this time, Huang Xizhao felt that his back was soaked with sweat.
"What did he do to those English newspapers?" Mak Tanxiong asked.
Xiao Ruoyuan said: "As soon as the stock market opened this afternoon, there was a large amount of selling of the stocks of the parent companies of these English newspapers or the companies behind them. Now the entire Hong Kong stock market knows that someone is shorting these British companies.
The stock prices of these companies have begun to decline, and the stock price of Yiyi Daily, the parent company of "One Morning Post", has dropped by 20%!"
Huang Xizhao and Xiao Ruoyuan are both talented people with specializations in the technical field. They can be said to be geniuses in the television industry, but they are not so proficient in the stock market.
Huang Xizhao asked: "How can we be sure that Chu Huan did this?"
Xiao Ruoyuan said: "The securities company that is shorting these companies is Chu Huan's wife Cao Yunshang's Fengwu Securities."
Then there is nothing to doubt.
"How could Fengwu Securities have the stocks of these companies?" Mai Fangxiong asked still somewhat incomprehensibly.
Seeing Mai Tanxiong ask this, Xiao Ruoyuan really wanted to remind his good partner that if he makes money in the future, he should honestly deposit it in the bank. If he can't, he can buy a house. Just don't play stocks.
!
But in fact, Mai Fangxiong later was the same as most people in Xiangjiang. He took the money he earned in this industry and plunged into the Xiangjiang stock market, and then lost everything.
"Fengwu Securities does not need to hold the stocks of those companies at all. It only needs to raise the stocks of these companies from other securities firms and then sell them. This is one of the simplest short-selling mechanisms...
.." At this point, Xiao Ruoyuan saw Huang Xizhao and Mai Fangxiong still looked confused, so they simply said.
"You don't understand these things, you just need to know that those companies are finished!"
"If you say that, I'll understand!" Xiao Ruoyuan nodded immediately, and Huang Xizhao nodded immediately when he saw this. It didn't matter whether he understood it at this time, he just nodded anyway, otherwise he would have no authority as the general manager.
Already.
But Huang Xizhao still had a lot of doubts in his heart. Fortunately, Mai Tanxiong helped him inquire at this time.
"How come they are finished as soon as Chu Huan takes action? If this is the case, wouldn't it be too easy to sell short? Shouldn't it be that whoever Chu Huan says is finished will be finished?"
Xiao Ruoyuan shook his head and said: "Of course that's not the case. Such an approach requires a large amount of cash to support it. If there is no cash support, if the "One Morning Post" can take over all the stocks sold by Fengwu Securities, then Chu
If Huan Yifang does not have the stock to repay those securities companies, it will naturally need to purchase the stocks of these companies at high prices in the stock market. At that time, the losses will be immeasurable.
Oops, why am I telling you this again? The most important thing is, do you know how much money Chu Huan used to short these British-owned companies this time?"
Even though Xiao Ruoyuan asked this question himself, at this time, Xiao Ruoyuan himself looked unbelievable.
Huang Xizhao and Mai Fangxiong looked at Xiao Ruoyuan in confusion and asked, "How much money was used?"
Xiao Ruoyuan said: "At least 2 billion Hong Kong dollars!"
Oops!
Huang Xizhao and Mai Fangxiong had the most intuitive concept this time. They didn't understand anything else, but they knew what 2 billion Hong Kong dollars meant.
No wonder Xiao Ruoyuan said these companies are finished.
Nowadays, in the whole of Hong Kong, Chu Huan is probably the only one who can withdraw so much cash at once, and even HSBC Bank has to weigh it.
Those British-funded companies can only be regarded as second- or third-rate existence in Hong Kong. If they want to save their company's stock price, they need to have sufficient funds to buy back their own company's stock.
However, no company can raise the cash to repurchase most of its own shares in such a short period of time. If they could, they would not need to go public to raise funds.
"At this time, these companies must have flocked to banks to seek loans, but I heard that all the banks in Xiangjiang received calls from Jiaku just this afternoon. If any bank is willing to lend to those companies, then the entire Jiaku
All banks will terminate their cooperation with this bank."
Xiao Ruoyuan continued to marvel.
Jiaku is known as one of the four major consortiums in Hong Kong, and it is also the consortium with the most abundant cash flow among the four major consortiums. Even if it only has a small cooperation with the Jiaku Group, it is still a big business for this bank.
Who can bear the loss of losing a big customer like Jiaku?
At this time, Xiao Ruoyuan finally understood Chu Huan's influence in Xiangjiang. 2 billion Hong Kong dollars in cash were raised within three days of his return, and it was the minimum possible. For this operation, the Jiaku Department
I'm afraid only Chu Huan himself knows how much cash he has prepared.
Following Jia Ku's order, at least 80% of the banks in Hong Kong will not lend to these companies. Then maybe one or two are lucky enough to borrow money to solve their own difficulties, but for most British companies, this
Their stock price will definitely hit the bottom once.
As long as all of Chu Huan's funds flow into the Xiangjiang stock market, the entire Xiangjiang stockholders will be driven by this trend and sell off a large number of stocks of these companies.
By then...there will be no way to save the day!
"Chu Huan is using his own power to fight against the entire English newspaper in Hong Kong!" Mai Fangxiong sat there and couldn't help but said: "Isn't he worried that this will cause backlash from the other party?"
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Xiao Ruoyuan sneered and said: "Backlash?"
"Believe it or not, there must be a long queue at the Chinese Bank now. The bosses of those British-owned companies must be queuing up now to apologize to Chu Huan and seek Chu Huan's forgiveness. These ghosts
Why did you come all the way from your ancestral home to our Xiangjiang?
Isn't it just to make money? Now that Chu Huan has taken action, their net worth will have shrunk by at least half, and they won't be able to recover for a few years. They will definitely not accept such a loss!"
Huang Xizhao sat there blankly and said, "In other words, they didn't even have any decent resistance to Chu Huan's sword?"
Xiao Ruoyuan said: "I think there will definitely be those who are stubbornly resisting, but what the financial market ultimately looks at is cash flow. Whoever has absolute cash flow in their hands will be the absolute strongest in this industry. Those who are stubbornly resisting
People just die slower, but more miserably!"
Huang Xizhao and Mai Fangxiong looked at each other, and they both saw surprise in each other's eyes!
.
"Go to the street, go to the street, you bastard!"
Headquarters of "One Day Morning News".
Harry Kirby, who was still very proud two days ago, was now as angry as a bull, and everything he saw was smashed to the ground by him.
In the corner of Harry Kirby's office stood a pale-faced Tim Bradbeer. The angry Harry Kirby in front of him was not the reason for his pale face.
In the stock market, the stock price of Yidai Daily, which was plummeting, was the reason why his face turned pale. Now he just wanted to know whether anyone would take over the stocks he asked the stockbroker to sell. If no one took over, then what would happen to him?
When I look at those stocks, I want to jump off the building just thinking about it!
"Call, call, call all our connections, banks, all of them. I want to take back our company's stocks. I want Chu Huan to regret his impulsive behavior today. I want him to cry in three days.
Come and find me to buy back our company’s shares!”
Harry Kirby yelled at Tim Bradbeer after venting his anger.
Tim Bradbeer did not speak, but pointed to the ground carefully. The telephone that was supposed to be on Harry Kirby's desk had fallen to the ground and shattered.
"Go out and fight, go out and fight, you idiot!"
Harry Kirby shouted angrily.
Tim Bradbeer hurried out of Harry Kirby's office without saying anything.
Harry Kirby sat on the ground without any image. At this time, his head was a mess. He didn't understand why every time he closed his eyes and opened them again, the world in front of him was no longer the world he was familiar with.
Everything has become different.
He couldn't figure out how Chu Huan mobilized such a large amount of funds.
Lost in self-doubt, Harry Kirby didn't know the passage of time.
So when Tim Bradbeer came back, he didn't know how long Tim Bradbeer had been out?
"President, I have called all the banks that we have cooperation with. They all said that they have some financial difficulties and are unable to provide us with loans. At the same time, Standard Chartered Bank also said...
."
Standard Chartered Bank is the largest partner of One-Day Daily. At the same time, One-Day Daily also has a large loan from Standard Chartered Bank.
"What did they say?" Harry Kirby asked breathlessly.
Tim Bradbeer could only continue: "Standard Chartered Bank announced that in view of the current instability of our company's stock price, it seriously doubts our company's ability to repay their bank loans in the future, so it decided to report to our newspaper in advance.
To collect the loan from their bank, I hope we can prepare this loan in time!"
boom!!!!!
These words exploded in Harry Kirby's head like thunder.
"They want us to die!" Harry Kirby said angrily.
I want you to die, not us. At this time, we should make a clear distinction between each other... Tim Bradbeer thought silently, I am just a wage earner!
Harry Kirby climbed up on the ground with difficulty and asked: "What about my friends? Don't they know that if Chu Huan beats us down this time, Chu Huan's influence in Xiangjiang will be
Is it unprecedented?”
Do you still have friends at this time?
Tim Bradbeer said hesitantly: "I have contacted several colleagues of the parent company in England, and they said..."
"It's this damn time and you're still hesitating with me?" Harry Kirby said angrily.
Tim Bradbeer immediately said quickly: "They said that their parent company is also suffering from short selling by unknown companies, and there is no way to help you!"
Originally, Chu Huan asked Fengwu Securities to attack only the parent companies of English newspapers listed in Xiangjiang or the companies that supported them.
However, after reports from Liu Zhiyuan and Chen Tao, it was discovered that the parent companies of many Hong Kong English newspapers were listed companies in England, so Chu Huan called KKR and flew to London to short-sell their parent companies!
This time Chu Huan will completely chop off the heads of these English newspapers and let them understand what real pain is!
"In addition, I also called some English newspapers that are in the same situation as our "One Morning News". Most of the presidents have now rushed to the Chinese Bank to seek forgiveness from Chu Huan.
