608, the first negotiation to acquire Far Eastern Bank
Everyone in Xiangjiang knows that two properties in Chu Huan’s hands are not for sale!
Luxury villas are not for sale! Commercial buildings are not for sale!
In the past, not many people noticed the first thing, but as Chu Huan's influence in Xiangjiang grew, many people began to pay attention to it!
This also leads to the fact that the luxury houses in Xiangjiang here are real luxury houses, not the kind of luxury houses with a thousand feet that were talked about in later generations in Xiangjiang.
As Chu Huan acquires more and more companies, this also leads to more and more luxury properties under Chu Huan's name.
For example, the villa at No. 14 Mount Galley Road where Chen Zengxi and his son previously lived under the name of Hang Lung Properties, the mansion of the family of John Madden, the former chairman of Wheelock, in Shek O, the mansion of Qi Dezun, the former chief executive of Wohe International, on the Peak, and the mansion on Middle Gap Road on the Peak.
, as well as Barker Road, Plantation Road, Shi Xun Road, Pule Road, etc. on the top of the mountain, Deep Water Bay, Repulse Bay all have properties under Chu Huan's name.
Some of them were owned by Chu Huan under the name of his original company when he acquired other companies. In addition, Chu Huan has never given up on acquiring this type of luxury homes in the past few years. There are even many luxury homes that the outside world does not know were bought by Chu Huan.
Now Mr. Rong has proposed to buy such a property from Chu Huan.
Chu Huan smiled and said, "If someone else mentioned this matter to me, I would definitely not agree. But before, Mr. Rong was in Shenghai and the capital took care of him. Now that Mr. Rong has spoken, I can't refuse. Mr. Rong
Tell me where you want to live?"
Young Master Rong laughed and said, "I know Ah Huan that you will definitely give me this face. I have taken a fancy to your villa in Repulse Bay, Ah Huan. If Ah Huan you are willing to take action, that would be great!"
Chu Huan nodded, and did not ask how Mr. Rong could have such a large amount of funds to purchase a villa in Repulse Bay at this time. He just said, "No problem, Mr. Rong can come to me whenever he wants to buy it."
!”
"OK!"
While the two were chatting, the car arrived at Tang Jiqian's residence. Tang Yunian was already waiting for Chu Huan in the parking lot.
"You're so amazing, you actually know everything about Yin Lang?" Tang Yunian had obviously found out about this from Zheng Jiachun.
"Zheng Jiachun is such a big mouth!" Chu Huan said helplessly, and then introduced Young Master Rong to Tang Yunian.
"Let's go, my dad is already waiting for Mr. Rong in the study!" After Tang Yunian greeted Mr. Rong with a smile, he led Chu Huan and the two of them into the living room, and then went straight to Tang Jiqian's study.
"Uncle Tang!"
After seeing Tang Jiqian, Mr. Rong immediately walked two steps quickly, held Tang Jiqian's hand with both hands, and said excitedly, "Uncle Tang, my father told me many times before that you were in Shenghai together, and told me to go to Xiangjiang."
Don’t forget to visit Uncle Tang afterwards!”
Tang Jiqian also said with great joy, "It's good to be here, it's good to be here. Listen to Ah Huan, you have been in Xiangjiang for a few days. How are you? Are you still used to the life here?"
Mr. Rong hurriedly said, "It's okay, I've gotten used to it!"
"You kid, you should have come to see me when you came to Xiangjiang, and you also asked A Huan to pass on the news. Didn't your father tell you about the two of us in Shenghai before?"
Tang Jiqian complained.
Mr. Rong hurriedly said, "As I mentioned, Uncle Tang, you are so busy with work right now. I'm worried that visiting you hastily will delay your work."
Tang Jiqian laughed and said, "You're too polite, you're too polite. Don't do this again!"
Seeing the two people being so affectionate, Chu Huan stood up and said with a smile, "Uncle Tang, you and Mr. Rong chat first, and I'll ask Anian to take me out for a walk!"
After leaving Tang Jiqian's study, firstly, he didn't want to watch the performance of their uncle and nephew. Secondly, what they were going to talk about next was their own business matters. It was not convenient for Chu Huan to be here. Thirdly, even Chu Huan gave
Tang Jiqian's attitude was that he only brought Mr. Rong here, and how to discuss the rest of the matter was their business.
Tang Ji glanced at Chu Huan with a smile, nodded and said, "Okay, let's talk about our affairs later!"
"OK!"
After Chu Huan finished speaking, he dragged Tang Yunian out of the study. The two sat in the living room, and a servant of the Tang family brought Chu Huan a cup of Coke.
"Even our servants know your hobbies!" Tang Yunian said with a smile.
Chu Huan smiled and said, "Are you saying that I have come to your house too many times?"
Tang Yunian said, "I would be happy if you could live here!"
After the two chatted for a while, Tang Yunian asked Chu Huan, "How are the sales of Huahai Real Estate's properties in Xiangjiang going?"
After several major shareholders of Huahai Real Estate agreed to Chu Huan's decision to sell Huahai Real Estate's property in Xiangjiang and transfer its funds to Japan, Huahai Real Estate had already begun to deal with it.
"It's okay. Although the housing prices in Xiangjiang have been affected to some extent now, the properties held by Huahai Real Estate in Xiangjiang are basically high-quality properties. There is no need to worry about selling them. It is estimated that they will all be sold after the New Year!"
Chu Huan picked up a Coke and preached.
Tang Yunian said, "Ah Huan, the real estate in Tokyo has been a bit high for us to speculate on. Isn't it too radical to buy it at this time?"
The increase in housing prices in Tokyo, Japan, exceeded the increase in another time and space. In another time and space, the real peak of housing prices in Tokyo was after the 1980s. However, with the massive funds of Huahai Real Estate and Haiyun Real Estate entering the Tokyo real estate market,
As a result, the current housing prices in Tokyo have reached the housing prices in Tokyo in 80 years in another time and space.
This is higher than the previous housing price increase in Xiangjiang.
That's why Tang Yunian has such worries.
Chu Huan smiled and said, "Don't worry, this is just the beginning. I believe housing prices in Tokyo will continue to rise."
Tang Yunian had no doubts about Chu Huan's judgment and said, "I'm just worried about whether the economic pressure there will be too great."
When Huahai Real Estate and Haiyun Real Estate purchase real estate in Tokyo, they do not buy the house in full, but with a loan. This is why these funds can drive up the housing prices in Tokyo after entering the real estate market in Tokyo.

The return ratio, plus the reserve fund we have left, is enough to cover the monthly loan payment.”
Tang Yunian sighed, "It's a pity that there are more things in the company this year, otherwise I would have to follow you to Tokyo. To be honest, the newly opened OD can compete with the Palace Club in Tokyo. Other places are really meaningless."
!”
Chu Huanxiao asked, "Do you know OD too?"
By the way, Chu Huan really didn't expect that OD would be so popular and that everyone around him would know about it.
Tang Yunian smiled and said, "That place is pretty good, private and stylish. I don't know how the boss Sheng Zhiwen came up with the idea!"
What else can I think of? I just went to Japan and learned from it.
Chu Huan thought silently, in fact, there are many things in Xiangjiang that are learned from Japan, the most obvious of which is the nightclub culture.
Generally, after it is available in Japan, it will be available in Xiangjiang immediately.
As for music, it goes without saying that Miyuki Nakajima supports most of the Hong Kong music scene.
Thinking of Miyuki Nakajima, Chu Huan felt that he should take advantage of this trip to Japan to sign her to Japanese Yuyu Records, but he didn't know if Miyuki Nakajima had made her debut now.
"Yes, Mi Gao took me there some time ago!" Tang Yunian said with a smile, "The girls there are much better than those little stars. Little stars only want to talk to you about clothes, bags, and cosmetics. Then
The girls next to you can actually talk to you about business matters. The last time I went there, a girl actually talked to me about philosophy. The girl from the private club talked to you about philosophy. Can you believe it?"
Seeing Tang Yunian's exaggerated look, Chu Huan couldn't help but sigh that Sheng Zhiwen was really a damn talent. He had learned the essence of Tokyo clubs!
At this point, Tang Yunian and Chu Huan said, "How about we go over and sit down for a while? My father just happened to tell me that he wanted me to entertain Mr. Rong well!"
Chu Huan shook his head and said, "Forget it, there are a lot of things going on these days, I'll go to you two!"
Tang Yunian leaned helplessly on the sofa and said, "What's the point of me and him? We're not familiar with each other."
Chu Huan smiled and said, "If we chat a few more times, we'll get to know each other better!"
Seeing what Chu Huan said, Tang Yunian didn't say anything.
Chu Huan did not wait for Young Master Rong to finish chatting with Tang Jiqian. He chatted with Tang Yunian for a while and then left first.
Zheng Yutong and He Hongshen returned to Xiangjiang. They flew to New York first, and then transferred to fly back to Xiangjiang. However, they obviously did not feel tired. Just after returning to Xiangjiang, they arrived at the time they had agreed with Chu Huan.
Chinese trip.
"Ah Huan, what do you think will happen to our business in Tehran this time?"
After Zheng Yutong saw Chu Huan, she couldn't wait to ask.
Chu Huan asked Xu Yi to order someone to serve them tea, then sat on the sofa and said with a smile, "Uncle Zheng, I'm afraid you and He Sheng won't believe me after I tell you!"
He Hongshen was also extremely shocked at this time. Among the businessmen in Xiangjiang, few people could notice Yin Lang's situation. As a result, Chu Huan not only noticed it, but also analyzed Yin Lang's situation before they did.
This made He Hongshen start to wonder if Chu Huan would have his own business in Yinlang.
There was no need for He Hongshen to ask, Zheng Yutong had already taken the initiative to ask.
"Ah Huan, you are in Xiangjiang, but you can know the situation in Yin Lang. Do you also have your own business in Yin Lang?"
"The Romance of Fairy Wood"
Chu Huan casually found an excuse and said, "Yes, you forgot, my company's comics, toys, and games have offices in Yinlang."
At this point, Chu Huan saw that the two of them were still a little confused, and knew that this reason was definitely not enough. Although Yin Lang belonged to a wealthy country in West Asia at this stage, the market was not very big. If Chu Huan continued to
It is unreasonable to pay attention to such a market all the time.
So Chu Huan could only continue to explain to the two of them, "Usually, my overseas company will send some local newspapers back in time. Jiaku will analyze the contents of the newspapers and find out news related to the development of our company."
, and then it will be published in the company’s internal daily journal.”
Chu Huan did not fool the two of them on this point. Jiaku does have its own internal daily journal, which includes personnel transfers of some subsidiaries, company benefits, company decisions, and some overseas news, etc. The management of each Jiaku
Each layer will have a copy.
In the absence of a company's official website, Jiaku can only use this method to let the people below know more about the company's situation.
"So that's it. I've heard about your Jiaku's daily journal before, but I didn't expect it to have such a function!"
Zheng Yutong couldn't help but said.
Chu Huan smiled and said nothing.
After He Hongshen found out how Chu Huan knew about this matter, he stopped worrying about it and asked Chu Huan, "Ah Huan, what are your plans for business in Yinlang?"
Chu Huan smiled and said, "He Sheng, our two businesses are different. My business is at most a small gadget, a silent existence that moisturizes things. But your business is different. Pahlavi has to pay for it."
You have been awarded a medal, which shows how sensational your business is with Yin Lang.
If Huo Mei really takes the stage, he will definitely remove all Pahlavi's influence in Yinlang, and your racecourse is so high-profile, even if you two are from Xiangjiang, not North America, I guess
Your business won’t last long either!”
Hearing Chu Huan's analysis, both Zheng Yutong and He Hongshen showed a hint of worry. The two of them invested 50 million US dollars in the racecourse in Tehran, which was not a small amount of money. In addition, before this, this business was very expensive.
The two of them had made a lot of money, and they really didn't want to give up such a cornucopia of money.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Zheng Yutong asked, "Is there no other way?"
Chu Huan spread his hands and said, "It's hard for me to say, and this is just my personal analysis. You two have to make the decision."
Zheng Yutong nodded and said, "Ah Huan, no matter what, He Sheng and I still thank you this time!"
Then his goal has been achieved. Chu Huan nodded slightly and said with a smile, "I also hope that you two can make a lot of money!"
Wuyuehui!
Although there is now an OD club in Xiangjiang, Chu Huan still prefers to come here when talking about things. For example, today, Chu Huan invited Sandy Aldama, the president of the Xiangjiang Branch of North American Universal Bank, to come here.
"Hello, Director Chu. I'm very happy to meet Director Chu here today!"
Sandy Aldama took the initiative to shake hands with Chu Huan.
Chu Huan shook hands with him, then smiled and said, "Please sit down!"
After the two sat down, Sandy Aldama took the initiative and spoke with a hint of expectation, "Dr. Chu is meeting today. I'm sure it's not to treat me to a drink, right?"
In fact, no matter when and where, banks are generally the existence that businessmen need to fawn over. After all, everyone who does business will need financial support sometimes.
It's just that the relationship between the two parties depends more on the power between the two parties.
Or under certain circumstances, some changes may occur.
For example, when a company is large enough, banks will actively seek cooperation with you, but if there is a problem with your business, banks are often the first to decide to withdraw funds.
When Huo Jingliang in "Genesis" was arrogant, the bank he cooperated with went up to the pole to seek cooperation with Huo Jingliang. However, when Huo Jingliang's business ran into problems and he wanted to get a loan from the bank, the bank chose to abandon him.
Now that Chu Huan has taken the initiative to invite Sandy Aldama, this is actually an excellent opportunity for him. Sandy Aldama has been in Xiangjiang for seven years. It can be said that she has watched Chu Huan grow up in the business community of Xiangjiang.
.
For this person who has created miracles in Xiangjiang and whom countless businessmen in Xiangjiang want to cooperate with, Sandy Aldama is naturally no exception. Even in Sandy Aldama's view, if he can form a cooperation with Chu Huan, then he is now the most
The headache related to Far East Bank will be easily solved.
"Mr. Aldama," Chu Huan said.
Sandy Aldama immediately interrupted Chu Huan and said, "Dr. Chu, my friends all call me Sandy. If Director Chu can also call me that, I will feel very honored!"
Chu Huan said calmly, "Sandy, I heard that your business in Xiangjiang is not going very well recently!"
After hearing what Chu Huan said, Sandy Aldama showed a helpless expression and said, "I didn't expect that Director Chu also heard about this matter. Sometimes I don't understand. It's obviously a proven business method. Why did Mr. Qiu
So that’s why they don’t agree?”
Looking at Sandy Aldama's bitter face, Chu Huan knew that Qiu Degen had tortured him terribly over the years, and said with a smile, "Because this is Xiangjiang."
If you ask Sandy Aldama what she hates to hear most right now, then the words "This is Xiangjiang" are definitely what Sandy Aldama hates to hear the most.
Seeing Sandy Aldama's depressed look, Chu Huan smiled and continued, "There are differences between Eastern and Western cultures. Good business strategies that have been proven in the West may not necessarily work equally well in Xiangjiang. Otherwise, I think Sang
Di, you won’t have such a headache now because of the Far East Bank matter, right?”
Sandy Aldama nodded angrily and said, "That's true. We are obviously the largest shareholder of Far East Bank. According to business practices, we should have absolute and absolute control over Far East Bank, but it happens that in Xiangjiang
That's not the case, Mr. Qiu has relied on his influence in Far East Bank to thwart our plans many times, but we still have no way, which is really a headache."
Is this just a difference between Eastern and Western cultures?
Chu Huan disagreed. In fact, this kind of thing is very common in the business world, whether in the East or the West.
The reason why Sandy Aldama is so angry now is actually because of his own heart. In his view, he is a major bank in North America and the company that saved Far Eastern Bank in the first place. He manages Far Eastern Bank with a condescending attitude.
In his heart, he had already decided that Far East Bank should obey their advice instead of obstructing everything like now.
But in fact, if they were in North America, this situation would still happen.
Let alone Disney, should Apex Pictures fully acquire Disney? What will be the result?
Now Disney's top management is still making it difficult for Kelly to do anything, and her orders have no effect outside the president's office.
It is precisely because of this incident that Kelly cannot come to Xiangjiang to celebrate the New Year with Chu Huan and others this year.
"Actually, I have a way to solve the difficulties you are encountering now, Sandy."
Chu Huan preached.
This was what Sandy Aldama was waiting for. When he heard what Chu Huan said, he quickly asked, "I wonder what Director Chu can do?"
Chu Huan smiled and said, "The method is actually very simple, out of sight, out of mind. As long as Sandy and your Wanguo Baotong Bank are willing to sell me the shares of Far East Bank, then you won't have all the troubles you have now!"
Sandy Aldama's face changed slightly. He thought that Chu Huan invited him here this time because of business matters, but he did not expect that Chu Huan actually wanted to acquire Wanguo Baotong's shares in Far East Bank.
"No, no, no!" Sandy Aldama shook his head repeatedly and said, "Dr. Chu, this is impossible. Far East Bank is an important layout of our Universal Bank in Xiangjiang, although we are currently operating with Mr. Qiu of Far East Bank.
There are many problems in the market, but we have never thought of selling our shares in Far East Bank!"
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Chu Huan previously thought that Wan Guo Baotong Bank would easily sell its shares in Far East Bank. This was actually inaccurate. As the most important financial city in Southeast Asia, Xiangjiang is here
From here, you can overlook the entire financial market in Southeast Asia. Otherwise, those foreign banks would not choose to settle in Xiangjiang.
Although Wanguo Baotong Bank and Qiu Degen are now at odds with Far Eastern Bank, Wanguo Baotong Bank still has not thought about giving up Far Eastern Bank at this stage.
Otherwise, in another time and space, there would not have been a four-year lawsuit with Qiu Degen.
It was also later that Wanguo Baotong Bank discovered that their lawsuit seemed to be going on endlessly, and this would only delay their layout in the financial industry in Hong Kong, so they finally gave up their shares in Far East Bank reluctantly.
Seeing Sandy Aldama's expression, Chu Huan also guessed this, and his heart sank slightly. It was obvious that this situation would make it more difficult for him to acquire Far East Bank.
"Director Chu, if you want to enter the banking industry, I have a way!"
Although Sandy Aldama never thought about selling Far East Bank's shares, he really wanted to drag Chu Huan aboard his warship.
"Sandy, tell me!" Chu Huan was thinking about how to negotiate with Sandy Aldama.
Sandy Aldama said, "I can report to the head office that Director Chu wants to acquire the shares of Far East Bank. I think our head office will also very much hope to cooperate with you, Director Chu. When the time comes, we, Wanguo Baotong, will
It is absolutely possible to sell part of the shares of Far East Bank to Director Chu. When the time comes, the two of us will jointly control the board of directors of Far East Bank, and then everyone can discuss how to run Far East Bank together!"
In fact, by now, Sandy Aldama has also figured out that the reason why they have no way to deal with Far East Bank's Qiu Degen in Xiangjiang is because they are from outside and have no roots in Xiangjiang. The entire management of Far East Bank
They are all Qiu Degen's people, so they have no way to achieve effective management.
But as long as Chu Huan joins, all problems will be solved.
Chu Huan never expected that the other party would actually want to use her as a weapon, but thinking of the problems Kelly encountered at Disney, Chu Huan also wanted to see how they would solve such a thing according to their North American thinking.
"Then I wonder how many shares your bank can sell to me?"
Seeing Chu Huan taking the initiative to ask, Sandy Aldama became even more happy, and immediately said, "As long as Director Chu, you are willing to become a shareholder of Far East Bank, our bank is willing to sell you 25% of the shares, Director Chu, and it is lower than the current price of Far East Bank."
Bank valuation price!”
Far East Bank is not listed on the stock market, so it is impossible to give a suitable price based on the stock price.
Chu Huan smiled in his heart. Qiu Degen had 24 shares of Far East Bank. Now Wanguo Baotong Bank had 76 shares of Far East Bank. He sold them to him for 25, which was just more than Qiu Degen, but he would not let himself compete with Qiu Degen.
Root's shares add up to more than them.
They are not only calculating Qiu Degen, they are actually calculating themselves!
"Sandy, although this is the first time we have met, I think you should know some of my business in Xiangjiang, right?"
Chu Huan asked.
Sandy Aldama nodded and said, "Of course I know, I think the whole of Xiangjiang should know!"
Alas, it seems that my idea of sinking the entire Jiaku still has a long way to go. Chu Huan smiled and said, "In that case, I think Sandy you should also know about my business in Xiangjiang, either.
Fully owned, or absolutely controlled, now you just sold me 25 shares of Far East Bank and made me the second shareholder of Far East Bank. This situation is unacceptable to me!"
Only then did Sandy Aldama think of Chu Huan's business situation in Xiangjiang, but it was precisely because he knew this situation that he understood even more that Chu Huan's shares could never exceed 27, otherwise Chu Huan would have ten thousand
Once they reach a certain consensus with Qiu Degen, the shares of Far East Bank held by the two of them will exceed 51. According to Chu Huan's influence and financial resources in Xiangjiang, their Wan Guo Baotong Bank will really have no chance of winning by then.
.
"Director Chu, what you said is not entirely true. I actually know that you actually have shares in many companies in Hong Kong. Now, as long as Director Chu invests in Far East Bank, he will be a closer business partner with our Wanguo Baotong Bank.
Okay, Director Chu, you also have a lot of business in North America and Europe, I think our Wanguo Baotong Bank will also be helpful to Director Chu’s business in these places!"
Chu Huan's acquisition of Alde Commercial Bank in North America only caused some commotion at the time. Later, in order to avoid triggering the sensitive nerves of North Americans, Chu Huan asked the North American Jiaku to try to avoid any contact with Alde Commercial Bank.
Therefore, Sandy Aldama, who has been working in Xiangjiang now, does not know about Chu Huan’s relationship with Alder Commercial Bank of North America.
"It seems that it is difficult for us to reach a consensus this time!" Chu Huan said regretfully.
