Chu Huan walked in and saw Paula in the room. Without saying anything, he went straight to the desk, picked up the phone on the desk, and sat on the huge boss chair.
"Hello, Sir Luo Bishi, I am Chu Huan!"
A short and normal opening statement!
Luo Bishi was also sitting on the sofa in Xia Dingji's office, holding the phone in his hand, listening to Chu Huan's voice on the phone. For this British person who was the biggest troublemaker in Hong Kong's interests, no matter what Luo Bishi had done because of Chu Huan's three decisions. Angry and anxious, he maintained his demeanor at this time.
"Hello, Director Chu, we haven't talked on the phone for a long time, right?"
"Yes, I originally thought that we should chat more when we met at the Hong Kong Film Festival tonight, but I didn't expect that Sir Luo Bishi would call now!"
"Haha, I thought you, Mr. Chu, wouldn't come tonight. So, Mr. Chu will attend the Hong Kong Film Festival tonight on time?"
"Of course, this is what I promised Patterson before, so I naturally want to participate!"
Luo Bishi held the phone and said happily, "If this is the case, I think Patterson will be very happy!"
"I hope so too!" Chu Huan's tone also contained a smile.
Luo Bishi said easily, "Director Chu, there is something I want to have a good chat with you about, Director Chu. I hope that you, Director Chu, will give me a personal face!"
"If I can do it personally, it is my duty to do it. Sir Luo Bishi, please tell me!" Chu Huan said with a smile.
Luo Bishi said, "The matter is actually not a big deal. It is just this morning that the Black and White Cinema Line under the name of Director Chu decided to suspend operations for a month starting from today. Director Chu's Black and White Cinema Line has the largest number of theaters in Hong Kong. Cinemas, if the black and white cinema chain stops operations, it will definitely be a huge loss to the movie audiences in Hong Kong. Moreover, it will not be easy for the black and white cinema chain to achieve its current achievements. If other companies take advantage of this gap to set up their own cinemas The chain company is also detrimental to Director Chu’s Black and White cinema chain, so both publicly and privately, I personally very much hope that Director Chu can reconsider the renovation of the Black and White cinema chain.
Even if you really want to renovate, you can renovate several theaters in batches, instead of renovating all the theaters at the same time, right?"
"So that's what happened!" Chu Huan suddenly said, as if he had never thought that Luo Bishi would tell him about this matter. He said helplessly, "Sir Luo Bishi should have called in advance. All the construction teams now , building materials, and theater equipment have already arrived. If we want to change the date or modify the renovation plan, it is no longer possible. The loss will be too great for us.
As for other film companies or theater chain companies, if they want to enter this industry, there is actually nothing to do. If we do the theater business, others will naturally do it.
And will there be progress if there is competition? With competition from other theater companies, those in the Black and White Cinemas can better serve the movie audiences in Hong Kong. I think this is also good!"
Luo Bishi was slightly angry. He didn't expect that he had already brought Liang Risi to CC, but Chu Huan was still so arrogant and didn't give him any face at all.
"Director Chu, this is not what you think. Patterson has already talked with the bosses of other film companies in Xiangjiang before. Everyone still hopes that Director Chu can consider the overall situation. After all, one month will allow the movie audiences in Xiangjiang to
If you can’t see the movie, there will definitely be a lot of people who will be dissatisfied!”
Chu Huan looked calm and said with a smile, "There is an old saying in China, if you want to do your job well, you must first sharpen your tools. Cinema is the sharp sword in the hands of our black and white images. We must use it to kill those young people with evil intentions at any time. Now
Some people think that the swords in our hands are blunt and cannot cut, so naturally we need to polish the swords and let those people know that it is not that the swords in our hands are blunt, it is just that we have
I just don't want to swing the sword in my hand.
Sir Luo Bishi, I don’t know if you have ever heard this saying, there are two different things if you don’t have a sword in your hand and if you don’t use it!”
There was a brief silence on the phone.
After a while, Luo Bishi said, "Don't you worry, Mr. Chu, that others will use swords against you like this?"
Chu Huan said calmly, "There is nothing to worry about. It is a fighting instinct to show the sword when facing the enemy. If others show their swords to us, then let's see who has the sharper sword in both hands!"
The smile in Luo Bishi's voice began to disappear, and he said coldly, "Dr. Chu's words about brightening the sword are indeed novel, but I think Mr. Chu should also understand that in today's society, the sword is no longer the only weapon. Maybe your enemy
We already have more advanced weapons in our hands, including long guns, cannons, tanks, and airplanes. When faced with these weapons, Director Chu, can your bright sword still be effective?"
Chu Huan said, "Sir Luo Bishi, there is something I think I should remind you!"
"Dr. Chu, please speak. I am all ears!" Luo Bishi said.
"Weapons such as guns, cannons, tanks, and airplanes all need money to buy, and I, Chu Huan, don't have much else but a lot of money. In the end, it will be nothing more than a war of attrition, so let's see who is more anxious.
!”
Chu Huan's tone remained calm.
Luo Bishi fell into silence again, and after a while, he said, "It seems that it is impossible to change Director Chu's company's plan!"
Chu Huan said, "There is no way. The arrow has to be fired when it is on the string. You can't get glory by compromising. I always firmly believe that the distance of the cannon is the distance of justice!"
Luo Bishi suddenly laughed and said, "What Chairman Chu said is serious. Today's Xiangjiang is still very fair. Otherwise, the Chinese businessmen in Xiangjiang would not have grown to the point where they are now like bamboo shoots after the rain!"
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Chu Huan also smiled and said, "A gentleman is constantly striving for self-improvement. If the Chinese businessmen in Xiangjiang hadn't worked hard enough, we wouldn't be in this situation!"
Luo Bishi said, "Speaking of the development of Chinese businessmen in Xiangjiang, Chairman Chu's second decision really shocked me. Zhulu Real Estate actually gave up the residential market in Xiangjiang, which is a market worth hundreds of billions in the future.
, Director Chu gave up so willingly?"
Chu Huan said, "Of course we are unwilling to do so, but there is no other way. Some people don't want to see Zhulu Real Estate bloom on multiple fronts and have to suppress Zhulu Real Estate. Since this is the case, we have to give up."
"Director Chu is joking. According to Director Chu's current status in Xiangjiang, who else can suppress Director Chu's business!" Luo Bishi said, "I think Director Chu must have a longer-term plan, such as using himself to withdraw from Xiangjiang.
Taking this opportunity from the real estate market, we can reach more cooperation demands with real estate developers in Xiangjiang. In this case, although Director Chu has left the residential market in Xiangjiang, he actually has more say in this market, right?"
Chu Huan admired and said, "Sir is indeed a big shot. He can see through my little thoughts at a glance. Are you talking about business? Since you can have greater benefits, why not pursue it!"
Luo Bishi became angry again. Did he guess this? This was clearly done by Chu Huan specifically for him to see.
"It's just that Director Chu has never thought about it. Such things are not necessarily good. It is true that the real estate companies in Xiangjiang will have more cooperation opportunities with Director Chu's Zhulu Real Estate for this, but Director Chu also said just now that in
When it comes to business, businessmen are profit-seeking, and real estate companies need funds to develop.
If these real estate companies receive sufficient financial support, or if some people do not want to see the emergence of this interest alliance and cut off the capital chain of these companies, I think by that time, Director Chu, your plan may not have the possibility of development.
At this time, Director Chu announced Zhulu Real Estate’s decision to withdraw from the Xiangjiang residential market. So if these lands remain in the hands of Zhulu Real Estate, wouldn’t it be a waste of natural resources and increase Zhulu Real Estate’s costs?”
"Sir, Sir, has a clear vision and saw the shortcomings of this plan at a glance!" Chu Huan did not deny Luo Bishi's words, but said calmly, "It's just that Sir, you seem to have forgotten what I just said!"
"What are you talking about?" Luo Bishi asked with some confusion.
Chu Huan smiled and said, "I, Chu Huan, don't have much else, I just have a lot of cash. Just when I was discussing with the real estate companies in Xiangjiang, I made a decision. Jiaku will set up a special real estate project investment department for preliminary preparations."
Invest tens of billions of funds specifically to support real estate companies in Xiangjiang, in order to avoid the possibility of their capital chains being broken!"
"What!"
During the call with Chu Huan, Luo Bishi lost his composure and exclaimed for the first time.
Xia Dingji, who had been sitting next to Luo Bishi, saw Luo Bishi like this and quickly asked, "What's wrong? What did Chu Huan say?"
Luo Bishi covered the microphone and repeated what Chu Huan had just said to Xia Dingji.
Xia Dingji ""
At this time, he thought of the ridicule he had just made to Chu Huan. Chu Huan actually spent 10 billion Hong Kong dollars to support the real estate company in Xiangjiang?
Do you really want to marry Chu Huan first when you see her in the future?
Luo Bishi put away the shock in his heart and asked Chu Huan calmly again, "Director Chu is really generous. Tens of billions of Hong Kong dollars in cash is not a small sum. Director Chu has just completed the meeting with Hehe International."
After the acquisition of Defeng, and now it has spent tens of billions of Hong Kong dollars to support real estate companies in Xiangjiang, isn’t Director Chu worried about problems in his company’s capital chain?”
Chu Huan smiled and said, "Of course I'm worried, but there's nothing I can do. If I don't take action at this time, I'll have to let the mercenaries eat me in the future. I'm a bit straight-backed and can't bend down, so I can only take a gamble."
!”
Luo Bishi said, "Dr. Chu is joking. As I said just now, with your current status in Xiangjiang, Mr. Chu, who can make Mr. Chu a human being? Maybe the other party just wants to cooperate with you, Mr. Chu."
!”
Chu Huan said, "Is that so? I personally think that cooperation should be in a peaceful and peaceful atmosphere, where both parties jointly put forward their own interests and then find a suitable entry point for common development.
Instead of blindly suppressing, suppressing, and suppressing again, and then forcing me to bow my head and give up some of my benefits, if Sir, you call this kind of cooperation, then to me, this kind of cooperation is actually suppression, not
We have to talk!”
Luo Bishi fell into silence again. It was obvious that he understood what Chu Huan meant. This situation was unacceptable to Chu Huan.
But this situation was what Luo Bishi had to achieve.
"Director Chu, the matter of Jiaku's acquisition of Hehe International-Wheelock is really too big. Both the Chief Secretary and the Financial Secretary believe that this matter is not a good thing for the commercial development of Xiangjiang, and in
Before this, there had been no news about this matter, and just now someone from the China Securities Regulatory Commission called us, wanting to reconsider Director Chu’s acquisition.”
Chu Huan smiled. Luo Bishi could no longer sit still. It was obvious that his speech was not as cryptic as before, and he began to talk about this matter openly.
"What Jiaku acquired is a private company in Xiangjiang. It is not under the supervision of the China Securities Regulatory Commission. What can they have to review? Besides, the whole process complies with all the business rules of Xiangjiang. I can't see any violations. If
If the China Securities Regulatory Commission really intends to reconsider, then we, Jiaku, can only pick up our own weapons and fight back!"
Luo Bishi frowned slightly. Ever since he started talking to Chu Huan, Chu Huan didn't give him the answer he wanted for everything he said. This made Luo Bishi very unhappy.
"Director Chu, although the Xiangjiang Securities Regulatory Commission has no right to review Jiaku's acquisition of Hehe International-Wheelock, I believe that there must be problems in the process of delisting and privatization of Hehe International-Wheelock. This matter
But it is under the supervision of the Hong Kong Securities Regulatory Commission, so everyone should take a step back, why make the matter so troublesome?"
Chu Huan said firmly at this time, "I have just walked to the top of the mountain. Behind me is a cliff of ten thousand feet. I can't take a step back. If I retreat, there will be no bones left!"
"So, this matter is non-negotiable?" Luo Bishi's words became more and more obvious.
Chu Huan smiled and said, "There is no need to discuss it, but considering that Mr. Sir and I are good friends, I can remind Mr. Sir that now our Jiaku has hired 15 Queen's Counsel in England, including Barrister Grantham.
Attorneys Coyle and Carter, if the China Securities Regulatory Commission’s reconsideration of us does not comply with any procedures, then our company will accompany this lawsuit even if it goes to the House of Commons!"
Luo Bishi ""
At this time, he truly understood what Chu Huan said: "I, Chu Huan, don't have much else, I just have a lot of money!"
The three barristers that Chu Huan just talked about are all Beidou-level figures in the entire British legal profession. Let's put it this way, the various legal amendment documents in England in recent decades basically belong to the three of them.
The name exists.
Most of the entire British legal profession, from the government officials to the top lawyers, have close ties with them.
Even Luo Bishi had to say hello respectfully if he saw the three of them when he returned to England to report on his work.
Normally, it would be an astronomical amount to hire one of them, but now Chu Huan actually invited all three of them directly.
Haha, will the lawsuit be taken to the House of Commons?
With the participation of the three of them, it is estimated that there will be no need for a court hearing, and these people from the Xiangjiang Securities Regulatory Commission will have to be reprimanded.
"Director Chu, I remember there is an old saying in China that county magistrates are not as good as those in charge. If Director Chu does this, he will only put himself in a confrontational situation with the Hong Kong Securities Regulatory Commission. Is this a situation that Director Chu wants to see?"
Of?
What's more, I think there will be people in England who are dissatisfied with your behavior, Director Chu, and by then everything will really develop to the point where it cannot be alleviated."
After Luo Bishi sorted out his words, he preached.
Chu Huan said with a smile, "Among the industries of the Jiaku family, only Qingzhou Yingni is a listed company now. As for the industries invested by Jiaku, they are spread across all walks of life in Hong Kong. If the China Securities Regulatory Commission really wants to take any action, it will be to disrupt
Hong Kong's securities market. At this stage when Hong Kong's economy has just begun to recover, if the Securities Regulatory Commission wants to do this, I think the Hong Kong government's idea of building Hong Kong into an important global financial market will be impossible to realize.
Is the situation really what the Hong Kong government wants to see?"
Facing Chu Huan's rhetorical question, Luo Bishi found that he still had no way to target Chu Huan in this matter.
However, there are some things that cannot be truly spoken out, such as the fact that they are about to form an alliance with HSBC and Jardine Matheson. If this kind of thing is spread, then it will become their biggest political scandal.
Luo Bishi believed that Chu Huan would never give up such an opportunity.
Finally, the target was set on Liang Risi.
"By the way, I just received a call from cc. Now TVB general manager Liang Risi has been invited by cc to assist in the investigation because of some actions in the police force many years ago. How could Director Chu's company hire someone so carelessly?
And I also heard that cc has begun to prepare to investigate the senior management of Jiaku, and wants to see if anyone has been implicated by Liang Risi. This is because I have a good relationship with you, Director Chu, so I broke the rules and told Chu about this matter.
It’s yours!”
When Chu Huan saw Luo Bi, he finally showed his biggest trump card and smiled.
This is the biggest problem that needs to be faced when money and power collide. The other party belongs to the designated rules, and one can only choose to act within their established rules.
This is just like a conceptual barrier that was often mentioned in online articles in the early years.
Within the barrier, everything must be done according to the other party's rules, and it is impossible to win.
There is a saying in "Shaolin Football" that the referee, ball certificate, circumstantial evidence, main board, and co-organizers are all my people, how can you play with me!
In Luo Bishi's opinion, the problem Chu Huan is facing now is just this kind of problem.
But Chu Huan obviously has his own plan. It is true that he is doing these things according to the rules set by them, but they have one thing that Chu Huan can take advantage of, and that is the development of the times.
What are the two most powerful rules in fantasy?
Time, space!
As a reborn person, Chu Huan's biggest golden finger is his understanding of the history of the times.
And this can also be regarded as a time rule!
A major event will happen this year, and this major event has gone beyond the rules of the Hong Kong government, which is what Chu Huan can take advantage of.
"It's too early for Mr. Sir to say this now. Mr. Liang was just asked to assist in the investigation. He has not been sentenced. As for the matters involving our top management in Jiaku, I think CC's idea is impossible. As for
Mr. Liang, it is now 5:10 in the afternoon, I think before 6:30 tonight, someone from cc will personally send our Mr. Liang back!"
Luo Bishi was stunned by Chu Huan's answer. He had never thought that in the current situation, Chu Huan could be so calm and confident in saying these words.
"Director Chu, are you kidding me?"
"Are you kidding me? I think you will know it soon, Mr. Sir!"
Chu Huan still preached confidently.
Luo Bishi fell silent again, and finally said with a somewhat harsh tone, "So, Chairman Chu is not going to back down on what happened today?"
Chu Huan said, "I just said that there is a cliff behind me, and I can't retreat even one step!"
"Since that's the case, there's nothing more to say. I hope what Director Chu said can be successful!" After Luo Bishi finished speaking, he hung up the phone!
Chu Huan also hung up the phone with a smile on her face.
Cao Yunshang sat opposite Chu Huan and said, "Why didn't you tell Luo Bishi your plan? If that was the case, I think the other party would choose to give in this time!"
Chu Huan waved his hands and said, "It's useless. They will only really feel the pain when the board hits them!"
Cao Yunshang worriedly asked, "What can I do to help you now?"
Chu Huan said, "You have been here all day today. This is already the best help. Just watch what happens next. I think Luo Bishi and Xia Dingji will come to the company in a few dozen minutes.
Then will be the final decisive battle.”
"Um!"
Then Chu Huan picked up the phone again and dialed the number he had just announced just before the decision. "At 5:30, that is when I announce the company's next decision, you must cooperate with my time and start your work."
plan!"
"No problem, don't worry, Director Chu. If I hadn't suppressed him, those people would have made a fuss now!" The voice on the other end of the phone was also very excited.
Chu Huan smiled and said, "The time is coming, don't worry!"
"Um!"
"So Chu Huan is planning not to take a step back?"
After listening to Luo Bishi's description, Xia Dingji couldn't help but preach.
Luo Bishi nodded and said, "That's right. Chu Huan said that there is a cliff behind him and he will not retreat even one step!"
"He is still so arrogant, what does he have to rely on?" Xia Dingji said incomprehensibly.
Even though Chu Huan had refuted all their previous methods one by one, just cc was enough to plunge the entire Jiaku into the abyss. Chu Huan still opposed their suggestions so arrogantly. This made Xia Dingji
Anyway, I can't understand it.
Luo Bishi shook his head and said, "There is no time for us to think about this matter at this time. We must stop Chu Huan's next decision now. I have a hunch that Chu Huan's next decision will be one of his trump cards, so we must stop it."
he!"
Xia Dingji asked, "How to stop it?"
Luo Bishi said, "Didn't Chu Huan say that CC will send Liang Risi back before six-thirty? I'm going to ask Chu Huan to go to CC to accompany Liang Risi today. I'll see how he lets CC people send them back!"
Xia Dingji was shocked. Is it really time to understand Chu Huan?
"What about the impact in this regard?" Although Xia Dingji has been thinking about bringing Chu Huan into CC, now that things are really going to happen, he can't help but consider the impact.
Luo Bishi said confidently, "Although the CC cannot investigate anything about Chu Huan now, we are not investigating Chu Huan. We just want the CC people to bring Chu Huan back to the CC to persuade Liang Risi to confess to his previous affairs."
, is there still a problem with this?”
Naturally, there is no problem, and it is easy to explain to the public. The most important thing is to let Chu Huan understand that they CC can take him away.
"I'll call now!" Luo Bishi didn't waste any time and dialed cc's number directly.
Seeing that the time was about to reach half past five, when Chu Huan was preparing to go to the studio, cc chief investigator Lu Zhilian brought his subordinates to the TVB general manager's office.
"Chairman, we" Paula looked at Chu Huan worriedly. They did stop Lu Zhilian and others, but they did not stop them.
"Mr. Chu, I'm very sorry. Because of the matter concerning your company's manager Liang Risi, our CC has been ordered to ask Mr. Chu to come back with us to jointly assist in the investigation. Please don't make it difficult for us!"
Lu Zhilian looked calm, but in fact, his heart was already in a mess. He really didn't want to do this, but he had no choice. He had to obey the orders from above.
Cao Yunshang and others wanted to speak out, but were stopped by Chu Huan. At the same time, Qin Peng and others also walked into the office and stood in front of Chu Huan to confront Lu Zhilian and others.
Chu Huan crossed Qin Peng and walked to Lu Zhilian. He smiled and said, "Investigator Lu, this is the first time we have met!"
"That's right!" Lu Zhilian nodded and emphasized again, "Mr. Chu, please don't make it difficult for us."
Chu Huan smiled and said, "Don't worry, I won't make it difficult for you, but I still have a decision to announce on TV. It will only take a few minutes. I don't think Investigator Lu will be so anxious."
?”
Lu Zhilian said helplessly, "Mr. Chu, we are also following orders. The above said that you are not allowed to do anything. Just follow us!"
Chu Huan said, "Then do you listen to the orders from above or the laws of Xiangjiang? In addition, I can tell Investigator Lu that after my decision is finished, your order will definitely be cancelled, and I think you will
These people will also thank me that at this time you are here and not in the CC building!"
Lu Zhilian wanted to say something else, but looking at more and more security personnel entering the office, he knew that it was impossible to take Chu Huan away at this time.
"I hope Mr. Chu can keep his word and follow us after the decision is announced!"
Chu Huan smiled and said, "Don't worry, I'm afraid that if I have to follow you, your superiors won't do the same thing!"
The men around Lu Zhilian saw this and wanted to say something, but were stopped by Lu Zhilian. The situation at this time was actually beyond their capabilities.
After Chu Huan finished speaking, he left the office and headed to the studio!
