When Roy Bentley hung up the phone, his inner dissatisfaction and anger exploded instantly.
He admitted that without Chu Huan's existence, he would not have been able to sit in the position of senior classmate of HSBC Bank, but he believed that he had also given Chu Huan a lot of benefits... Well, at least because of his existence,
HSBC never caused any trouble for Chu Huan.
It can be said that both sides get what they need.
But now Chu Huan did not answer his call in person, even after he had made it clear that he wanted Chu Huan to answer his call first no matter what he did.
Hoo, ho, ho...
Roy Bentley's heavy breathing already showed his anger at this time, but after being angry, Roy Bentley began to comfort himself.
First of all, I have not yet secured my position as the chief executive of HSBC Bank. Nowadays, there are many factions in the bank. If you want to take care of all these factions, you need strong forces from outside.
And Chu Huan is his greatest strength.
So we can't have a direct conflict with Chu Huan yet.
In addition, Chu Huan's identity should not be underestimated. Even HSBC cannot really touch Chu Huan at this time. The greater possibility is to join forces with the Hong Kong government and then eat away at Chu Huan's interests bit by bit.
However, this is bound to be a long-term project, so no matter what, he needs to maintain a good relationship with Chu Huan now.
After thinking about all this, Roy Bentley called Xia Dingji's office.
"The call didn't go through. I think Chu Huan must have guessed that someone will definitely be looking for him at this time, so TVB's phone has been busy."
Roy Bentley did not say that Chu Huan did not answer his call, but that he did not get through.
Xia Dingji and Luo Bishi were speechless when they heard this.
"Then please Roy, please wait a while and try calling Chu Huan again, otherwise it may really lead to an irreversible situation!"
Luo Bishi preached on the phone.
Roy Bentley nodded and said: "Got it!"
Then Roy Bentley looked at the time and said: "Okay, it's already half past three, let's see what decision Chu Huan wants to make first!"
Luo Bishi responded and hung up the phone. At this time, Xia Dingji also turned on the TV. After a while, the two of them saw Fang Jianhui, who was mocking himself as the host, and Chu Huan, who was invited by Fang Jianhui...
There is Qi Dezun!
When they saw Qi Dezun, Luo Bi, and Xia Dingji appearing on the TV, they both showed surprised expressions.
"Why did Qi Dezun appear on the scene with Chu Huan?"
Originally, due to the two previous decisions, the appearance of Chu Huan at this time had shocked the two of them. Chu Huan did not appear in the decision to let Zhulu Real Estate launch the Xiangjiang residential market. What kind of decision can shock Chu Huan now?
Woolen cloth?
Not only Chu Huan, but also Qi Dezun, who had nothing to do with this matter, appeared, which surprised Xia Dingji and Luo Bishi even more.
The four major consortiums in Hong Kong, Jiaku, HSBC, Jardine Matheson, and Hehe International-Wheelock, now have the chairman of the two major consortiums appearing together. Such specifications have already determined that this matter will definitely be big.
"Is there any major cooperation between Jiaku and Hehe International?" Xia Dingji asked in shock as he turned to look at Luo Bi.
Luo Bishi was also confused at this time, "I can't figure it out, I can't figure it out, none of Chu Huan's decisions were something we could have thought of in advance. Now it seems we have to wait for him to say it in person!"
Xia Dingji's expression began to become helpless. It always felt like they were following Chu Huan's rhythm today. The result was that they were unable to make any preparations for Chu Huan's decision in advance, which also led to the fact that they could only do it now.
Watching Chu Huan decide to do this one by one!
Inside the TV, Chu Huan held the microphone, with a calm smile on his face, and said in a relaxed manner: "Originally, this matter should not be told to everyone in this way, but I think there must still be a lot of people in Xiangjiang."
The public is very interested in the development of our Jiaku and Hehe International-Wheelock.
In addition, our two companies are relatively well-known in Xiangjiang, so we finally chose to meet everyone in this way and let everyone know the joint decision of our two companies."
Seeing Chu Huan looking so relaxed, Luo Bishi and Xia Dingji both showed solemn expressions.
In the executive office of HSBC, Roy Bentley was also watching Chu Huan on the TV. There was no difference from the Chu Huan in his memory. He still had that smile that made people feel like spring breeze, but now
Roy Bentley always felt that there was an invisible gap between Chu Huan and himself at this time.
As for the real estate businessmen in Xiangjiang in the TVB conference room, they all showed surprised expressions when they saw Chu Huan and Qi Dezun appearing at the same time.
Like Luo Bishi and Xia Dingji, they all couldn't figure out why Qi Dezun would choose to appear on the scene with Chu Huan at this time.
"Guo Sheng, you Sun Hung Kai have the best relationship with Director Chu. Can you tell us what Director Chu will decide with Qi Dezun this time?"
Xu Detai from Dachang Real Estate asked Guo Desheng curiously.
Guo Desheng also looked confused at this time and said: "We really don't know this, but if the two of them appear together on such an occasion, I think something big will happen!"
Li Jiacheng murmured: "Could it be that the two families have already reached some kind of in-depth cooperative relationship?"
This is a possibility that everyone present may recognize!
"Look, Director Chu is about to speak!"
Chen Songqing from Jianing suddenly preached loudly at this time.
Chen Songqing, who was a little transparent in this conference room, attracted everyone's attention to him because of this sentence.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! However, this did not give Chen Songqing a chance to continue talking, because Chu Huan was indeed about to announce his latest decision on the TV!
"After long discussions and meetings with Senior Class Qi Dezun, we finally reached a major decision between Jiaku and Hehe International-Wheelock!"
Chu Huan held the microphone and preached with a smile.
Everyone in front of the TV held their breath at this time, not wanting to miss any of the next words.
"After research, Mr. Qi Dezun has decided to officially sell Hehe International-Wheelock to Jiaku Consulting Co., Ltd. From now on, Hehe International-Wheelock will officially become a subsidiary of Jiaku!"
Chu Huan spoke calmly.
But at this moment, everyone in front of the TV seemed to have been cast a "fix" spell by Sun Wukong, and they remained motionless as they had just done.
"Yes, we have just completed the handover ceremony with Chairman Chu, which means that from this moment on, Hehe International-Wheelock completely belongs to Chairman Chu!"
After Qi Dezun said this, he breathed a long sigh of relief.
This matter that has been planned for such a long time finally came to an end today. Since then, I have officially retired from the business world in Hong Kong.
As for the raging flood here after he left, it has nothing to do with him.
Chu Huan didn't know the behavior of the people in front of the TV, but he continued to smile and said: "I would like to inform you again that in two hours, at half past five, there will be a major event in Jiaku.
The decision will be announced to everyone, and I hope everyone can watch it on time!"
Then everyone in front of the TV saw Chu Huan and the others leaving the TV screen, and the Nike advertisement was broadcast at this time.
"Can any of you tell me what Director Chu said on TV just now? I'm worried that I just had an auditory hallucination and misheard what Director Chu said!"
Huang Tingfang of Sino Real Estate was completely stunned at this moment. He wondered if he had heard something wrong just now.
Qi Dezun actually sold Hehe International-Wheelock, one of the four major consortiums in Xiangjiang, to Chu Huan?
This is simply an international joke. Let’s not talk about why Qi Dezun sold Hehe International-Wheelock to Chu Huan. Let’s just talk about the price of Hehe International-Wheelock. After the merger, the asset value of these two consortiums has at least exceeded
15 billion Hong Kong dollars, does Chu Huan count as rich anymore?
It's impossible to mobilize such a large amount of funds so silently, right?
"You heard that right, Chairman Chu just announced that Jiaku has acquired Hehe International-Wheelock!"
Li Jiacheng said quietly at this time.
Ever since he officially cooperated with Chu Huan, Li Jiacheng has always thought that his evaluation of Chu Huan was high enough, but now he discovered that he still underestimated Chu Huan.
Was Hehe International-Wheelock acquired?
This acquisition is destined to break the highest price in the history of commercial acquisitions in Xiangjiang.
Unfortunately, both Jiaku and Hehe International-Wheelock are now private companies, not listed companies, and do not need to explain their financial status to the public, so neither company needs to announce the price of this acquisition.
etc!
Thinking of this, Li Jiacheng's heart suddenly shook. He thought of one thing, and that was the delisting plan that Hehe International started immediately after acquiring Wheelock.
At that time, everyone was wondering where Hehe International could get so much money to complete the delisting plan of these two companies.
But thinking about it now, maybe Chu Huan had already completed some kind of ulterior deal with Qi Dezun at that time.
In Xiangjiang, except for Chu Huan who had the cash to support Qi Dezun in completing the delisting plan for Hehe International-Wheelock, there seemed to be no one left.
Moreover, as long as these two companies are delisted and privatized, they will not be subject to the control of the Hong Kong Securities Regulatory Commission, and they will not be able to oppose Chu Huan's acquisition of this large consortium.
I figured it out, I figured everything out.
Li Jiacheng can be 100% sure that Jiaku's acquisition of Hehe International-Wheelock must be something that has been planned for a long time.
But the more this happened, the more Li Jiacheng felt fear for Chu Huan from the bottom of his heart. How deep his thoughts were to be able to plan something for such a long time.
Moreover, there will be no blind spots for the Hong Kong government to object in this acquisition process.
If the Hong Kong government even refutes this most normal commercial acquisition, then the entire Hong Kong government will have no credibility at all.
.
Li Jiacheng's idea was correct. At this time, Luo Bishi and Xia Dingji finally digested the news.
"Is there any way to stop this?"
Luo Bishi asked Xia Dingji directly without any nonsense.
Xia Dingji looked decadent, no longer as high-spirited as before. He shook his head and said helplessly: "Looking at it now, there is no way to stop this matter, not to mention that Jiaku has completed the investigation of Hehe International-Wheelock
The acquisition is done!"
Luo Bishi shook his head firmly and said: "No, there must be something we can take advantage of. It's just that time is too tight now and we haven't found this point yet!"
Xia Dingji said: "I understand what you mean. When Qi Dezun completed the delisting and privatization of Hehe International-Wheelock, he must have already contacted Chu Huan. Only in this way can Qi Dezun have this strength.
Delist these two consortiums and privatize them.
I even suspect that Qi Dezun had already contacted Chu Huan when he saved Hehe International's financial situation. It was just that we didn't think about it at the time. But now that both consortiums have been delisted and privatized, we
There is no reason to investigate their financial status now.
The most important thing is what you said. In terms of time, we are already too late. This matter will spread throughout Hong Kong in less than ten minutes. If we stop them in this matter, it will only bring us
More reasons to be attacked!”
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Luo Bishi obviously does not want to give up. He cannot accept the acquisition of Hehe International-Wheelock by Jiaku.
Chu Huan's influence in Xiangjiang is already the best in the world!
Now that Chu Huan has completed the integration of the real estate industry, and if Hehe International-Wheelock is now added, then Chu Huan's influence will definitely rise a few levels again.
If Chu Huan, who was number one in the world before, could not stop the joint attack of other forces in Xiangjiang, then now that he is number one in the world, Chu Huan is no longer afraid of any alliance of forces!
unless.......
Unless you're cheating on your own!
Thinking of this, Luo Bishi gritted his teeth, stood up on the sofa, walked straight to the phone, picked up the phone, dialed a phone number, and said in a cold voice: "You can let your people take action!"
.
HSBC, in the Taipan office!
Roy Bentley stared blankly at the scene of Chu Huan and the three disappearing on the TV, his pupils widened. Even now, he could not accept what had just happened.
But it doesn’t matter whether you know it or not. What matters is what you do now.
Roy Bentley feels that HSBC has stood at the most important crossroads in his life at this time, how to choose.
Do you choose to move closer to Chu Huan unswervingly?
The benefits of moving closer to Chu Huan are obvious.
At this time, Chu Huan is already the best in the world in terms of comprehensive strength in Xiangjiang. As long as HSBC can maintain a close cooperative relationship with Chu Huan, then HSBC will definitely be able to lead the development in this process.
The strength will definitely exceed that of any previous Taipan.
But the disadvantages can also be seen at a glance.
First, HSBC will lose its dominant position in Hong Kong.
This is basically an unacceptable situation for HSBC. At this time, Roy Bentley suddenly thought of Great Eagle Real Estate.
Before this, Chu Huan spared Yingjun Real Estate to save his face, but what Chu Huan said to him at that time still rang in his ears. At that time, Chu Huan was already a little dissatisfied with his behavior.
But at that time, I didn't really care, because although Chu Huan was the number one person in Xiangjiang, HSBC was the most powerful consortium.
Even though Jiaku's profitability is stronger than HSBC's, its influence in Hong Kong is definitely not as strong as HSBC's.
But things are different now. Jiaku, which acquired Hehe International-Wheelock, is already comparable to HSBC in terms of influence. If Chu Huan's personal influence is added to it, it has actually surpassed HSBC.
So will Chu Huan give himself face in the future?
In other words, if someone offends HSBC, and this person asks Chu Huan to come forward, should HSBC give Chu Huan face?
The reversal of identities was unacceptable to Roy Bentley.
Secondly, as Luo Bishi said, if Chu Huan really enters the banking industry in the future, then based on Chu Huan's current financial strength and influence in Hong Kong, this bank will definitely threaten HSBC's position.
At that time, can the cooperation between HSBC and Chu Huan continue?
Referring to others, Roy Bentley understood that if it were him, he would definitely not cooperate like before.
After thinking through all the pros and cons, Roy Bentley suddenly thought with some frustration.
Even if he chooses to stand on the opposite side of Chu Huan, what can he do?
After scratching his head, Roy Bentley found that he could not think of any solution.
After being silent for a long time, Roy Bentley suddenly thought that there might be someone who could provide him with a better solution.
But after thinking of this person, Roy Bentley hesitated for a while. If possible, he didn't want to call this person even if he continued to cooperate with Chu Huan.
Calling one of his defeated men was another difficult psychological difficulty for Roy Bentley.
But now it seems that I have no better way.
Finally, Roy Bentley picked up the phone and made an overseas call!
.
Jardine!
Niubijian and Bao Fuda sat there and looked at each other. They both saw shock in each other's eyes.
“I feel that the glory of Yihe has become a thing of the past!”
Newbijian's extremely lonely sermon.
When he took over the position of the Taipan of Hong Kong Jardines, Jardines was the well-deserved number one private consortium in Hong Kong. However, just a few years later, Jardines has already fallen from the number one position.
Bao Fuda sighed: "Yihe has not become a yesterday's flower, just because the rise of Chu Huan is so fast and powerful that we have no way to deal with it!"
Niubijian smiled bitterly and said: "Seeing the rise of Chu Huan, I suddenly felt that our lives seem to have been in vain all these years, and it can actually shock a young man like this!"
Bao Fuda was stunned for a moment, then smiled bitterly and said: "Isn't he just a young man? I remember Chu Huan is only 24 years old this year!"
Niubijian was able to become Yihe's Taipan, and his mental ability was still good enough. After experiencing a brief period of helplessness, he rekindled his fighting spirit and preached.
"This matter is a done deal. It doesn't matter what we think about anymore. The most important thing is what should we do in the future?"
Bao Fuda also revived his spirit and said: "There are only three paths before us. One is to act as if all this has never happened and choose to cooperate with Chu Huan. Maybe Yihe can take advantage of Chu Huan's path in the future."
The big ship is riding the wind and waves.
The second is to stay on the same page as Chu Huan and let us all develop together from now on.
Third, completely put Yihe on the opposite side of Chu Huan and do everything possible to curb Chu Huan’s development!”
Businessmen value profits and have no eternal grudges, only eternal interests!
Looking at the current situation, it seems that cooperation with Chu Huan is in the best interest of Yihe.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! But Newbijian said with a wry smile: "Although you gave three choices, in fact, for us, there is only one choice.
Cooperating with Chu Huan? Maybe it is possible on some projects, but I think you have forgotten what Shen Bi once said. Chu Huan has always been eyeing Yihe. I have always been concerned about this matter. They are all convinced, especially after Chu Huan has achieved his current achievements, if no one can suppress him on this matter.
So in the future, if Chu Huan wants to acquire Yihe, there will be no resistance. Do you think he will let us go?
The second option is to maintain the status quo with Chu Huan without violating the river? I don’t think it is feasible. Not to mention that Chu Huan has been coveting us Yihe for a long time. Even with the current size of these two companies, in the future we will compete with each other. There will definitely be countless business competitions in the world, so is there any way to avoid infringement?"
Bao Fuda said in a deep voice: "If we choose the last one, our Yihe family alone will not be able to fight against Chu Huan. We must have allies!"
Niubijian nodded and said: "Hong Kong Government, HSBC, Swire!"
These are the only three forces that Newbijian can think of that are qualified to join this alliance.
Bao Fuda said: "I think there is no need to join Taikoo. The Shihuaiya family of Taikoo has never been involved in this kind of thing. Especially after the battle of Qingzhou Yingni, the Shihuaiya family is even less likely to have such an idea, so we The only two forces that can unite are the Hong Kong government and HSBC!"
Niubijian gave a wry smile and said: "Five years ago, there was a saying circulating in Hong Kong that the people who rule Hong Kong are the Hong Kong government, the Jockey Club, HSBC, and Jardine Matheson. Now three of these four companies want to unite to fight against each other. A Chu Huan."
Bao Fuda did not express his opinion on this matter. The matter has passed and it is meaningless to talk about it now. He said: "I don't think there is any need to worry about the Hong Kong government. After all, before this, Luo Bishi and Xia Dingji had been thinking of ways to target Chu Huan. The real difficulty lies with HSBC.
Before this, Roy Bentley was a die-hard ally of Chu Huan. Now if you want HSBC to turn against Chu Huan, it depends on whether Roy Bentley can make such a decision."
After pondering for a moment, Newbijian said: "I think it shouldn't be a big problem. Roy Bentley is a man of average ability, but his spirit is still very high. Now I see that Chu Huan is not only in terms of personal influence, but also in terms of personal influence. It has even surpassed HSBC in terms of company influence, and Roy Bentley will definitely have turmoil in his heart.
As long as we work with the Hong Kong government to tell Roy Bentley about this matter at the same time, I think we can still bring the other side together."
Bao Fuda said helplessly: "Now we can only try it first!"
Niubijian nodded and said, "I'll call Luo Bishi now!"
.
Chu Huan and Qi Dezun walked out of the studio.
Qi Dezun calmly smiled at Chu Huan and said: "Director Chu, I think the whole of Xiangjiang should have been in chaos by this time because of this matter. Although Jiaku's strength has been improved, it has also successfully aroused public anger. I think Those people will definitely not let you develop smoothly so easily!"
Chu Huan nodded slightly and said: "I can imagine, but things have come to this point. It is impossible to back down. Now we have to see how many people there are on the other side and what methods they will use!
In the end, it will be nothing more than soldiers coming to block it and water coming to cover it up."
Qi Dezun laughed and said: "It's a pity that I can't see your methods, Director Chu!"
After hearing this, Chu Huan asked: "Why is Mr. Qi Dezun ready to leave Xiangjiang?"
Qi Dezun had already told Chu Huan that after completing the final handover, he was ready to return to Scotland and leave Xiangjiang.
"Yes, I think there should be a lot of people hating me at this time. If that's the case, I won't stay in Xiangjiang and let these people be an eyesore!"
Others do not know the truth about the transaction between Qi Dezun and Chu Huan, but this does not prevent those people from hating Qi Dezun. After all, in their eyes, if Qi Dezun had not sold Hehe International-Wheelock to Chu Huan, there would have been no consequences.
Now it has such an impact.
Qi Dezun has obviously seen through all this.
Chu Huan said: "If this is the case, then I will hold a farewell banquet for Mr. Qi Dezun in the next two days!"
Qi Dezun smiled and said: "If this is the case, then I will thank you first, Director Chu!"
No matter what, Qi Dezun still wanted to leave in glory.
Chu Huan smiled and said: "This is what it should be!"
While talking, the two of them had returned to Liang Risi's office. Qi Dezun said: "Director Chu, I will leave first. I think you will be very busy today."
Chu Huan nodded and said: "Then I won't send Mr. Taipan away. I will let Xu Yi leave with you to do the handover work between Hehe International and Wheelock!"
Qi Dezun smiled and said: "This is the best!"
Xu Yi followed Qi Dezun and left TVB. Cao Yunshang said to Chu Huan: "Don't you need to go to the conference room? I think those people in the conference room should be waiting for you to go back now!"
Chu Huan smiled and said: "Call Roy Bentley first, I need to know what's going on with Roy Bentley!"
Cao Yunshang said: "I don't think it will be too good!"
Chu Huan nodded and said, "We still need to make sure."
But just when Chu Huan was about to make a call, Liang Risi's secretary suddenly ran over in panic and said: "Chairman, something happened. People from ICAC just took away General Manager Fang!"
