"The most important task of Japan Jiaku this year is to own a commercial building of its own in the port area!"
With Japan Jiaku's size in Japan's business world, Japan Jiaku still doesn't have a commercial building of its own. This is unjustifiable!
So the next day, when Chu Huan continued to hold meetings for Japan Jiaku, he set an important goal.
Although Japan's housing prices will definitely fall in the 1990s, according to the size of Japan's Jiaku, it will definitely be impossible to leave Japan by then. Therefore, this building can no longer be simply used for commercial value.
Come to measure.
It is the symbol of Jiaku in Japan.
As for the Plaza Accord in 1985, Chu Huan will naturally have a way to deal with it when the time comes.
Regarding Chu Huan's decision, Wu Xiaoshi absolutely supported Chu Huan's decision with both hands. Now Japan Jiaku is still renting an office space. For Japan Jiaku at this time, the office environment has begun to be stretched.
"Okay, I will keep an eye on this matter, and I will report it to the chairman after I find a specific and suitable place."
Wu Xiaoshi smiled and preached.
Chu Huan nodded with satisfaction, and then continued to hold a meeting with the rest of the people to discuss the future development of each company.
After another day of meetings, Chu Huan finally finished speaking to the senior management of Japan Jiaku about the group company's development plan for the next year.
"Chu-san, Mr. Tsutsumi Yoshiaki from Seibu Group is here and is waiting for you in the reception room now!"
After Chu Huan returned to the manor in Shibuya District, Tanaka Anhui preached to Chu Huan.
Chu Huan looked at the sky outside, came to the reception room with a smile, and saw Yoshiaki Tsutsumi sitting here.
At this time, Yoshiaki Tsutsumi no longer had the bohemian attitude he had in the Palace Club, and was more domineering. This is how Yoshiaki Tsutsumi showed himself to the outside world.
"Chu Sang!"
"Mr. Tsui!"
After Chu Huan and Tsutsumi Yoshiaki shook hands, they sat down separately. Tanaka Anhui came in and started making tea for Chu Huan and Tsutsumi Yoshiaki.
"Chu Sang, I didn't properly congratulate you on your stay in Xiangjiang last time we met. This time I would like to express my congratulations to you by offering flowers to the Buddha and tea instead of wine!"
When the outside world mentions Tsutsumi Yoshiaki, they always say that this person is domineering, but in fact, when Tsutsumi Yoshiaki faces people of the same level as himself or those who are higher than him, he will still adhere to Japanese habits.
Quite humble and low-key.
At this time, Xiangjiang is indeed not as good as Japan, but Chu Huan, as an alternative to Xiangjiang, is already the number one person in Xiangjiang. In addition, Chu Huan has previously demonstrated financial resources in the acquisition of Ford Motor shares.
, ability is still very admirable to Yoshiaki Tsutsumi.
"Mr. Tsutsumi is so polite!"
Chu Huan smiled and preached to Tsutsumi Yoshiaki.
Later, the two mentioned the meeting. Chu Huan wanted to ask Yoshiaki Tsutsumi for something, and Yoshiaki Tsutsumi also wanted to ask Chu Huan for help.
"Chu Sang, I came here this time to ask you something!"
After finishing speaking, Tsutsumi Yoshiaki knelt down and bowed to Chu Huan.
Chu Huan said, "Mr. Di, we are not only business partners, but also very good friends. If you have any questions, just say it. As long as it is within my ability, I will definitely help you!"
When Tsutsumi Yoshiaki heard what Chu Huan said, a smile immediately appeared on his face, and then he was not polite and told Chu Huan his situation, "That's it."
The problems that Tsutsumi Yoshiaki encountered are actually problems that every CEO of a listed company will encounter.
Regarding the real estate industry in Japan, because of the gains from Haiyun Real Estate, Yoshiaki Tsutsumi was extremely determined that land prices in Japan would definitely increase, so Yoshiaki Tsutsumi decided to hoard a large amount of land in Japan to build his own house.
The future of tourism hotel business.
However, such a situation will cause the group to invest a large amount of cash in purchasing land. In addition, land prices in Japan have been rising. The board of directors of Seibu Group controlled by Yoshiaki Tsutsumi raised objections to Yoshiaki Tsutsumi's decision.
"Chu Sang, I very much hope that you can increase your shareholding in our Seibu Group and officially join the Seibu Group's board of directors. In this way, with your support on the board of directors, I will be able to implement my plan more smoothly!"
Faced with Tsutsumi Yoshiaki's request, Chu Huan was a little confused to be honest. Chu Huan could understand that the real estate companies in Xiangjiang hoped that he could become a shareholder in their company.
After all, where does Chu Huan's influence lie in Xiangjiang? As long as Chu Huan invests in a company, the company's stock will definitely be touted by investors, and it is obvious that the stock price will increase.
That's why Chu Huan was able to successfully hold stocks in multiple real estate companies.
This is just like Buffett in later generations. Countless investors will closely watch Buffett to see which stock he bought. If he buys it, the share price of that stock will definitely increase in a short period of time.
of.
Even taking a photo of your lunch with him can make your company's stock price soar.
But Chu Huan's influence is in Xiangjiang. Although Chu Huan is well-known in the current Japanese business world, it is not certain how much influence he has.
After all, although Japan Jiaku is profitable, it keeps a low profile and many people do not know the specific situation of this group.
And now Tsutsumi Yoshiaki still hopes that he can join the board of directors of Seibu Group, isn't he worried that he will seize power?
"I have studied Chu Sang's investment in Xiangjiang, and I have to say that he takes great care of his friend Chu Sang. Even the holding company is managed by the original management."
"Mr. Tsutsumi wants me to control the Seibu Group?" Chu Huan couldn't help but interrupt Tsutsumi Yoshiaki.
"Of course not!" Tsutsumi Yoshiaki said immediately.
In the final analysis, Yoshiaki Tsutsumi was interested in the cash in Chu Huan's hands. He believed that Chu Huan would definitely be able to acquire part of Seibu Group's shares on the stock market, and then use these shares to enter the Seibu Group's board of directors, and then stand firmly on his side.
On this side, we support Yoshiaki Tsutsumi’s plan for the future development of the Seibu Group.
This chapter is not finished yet. Please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! After Chu Huan understood what Tsutsumi Yoshiaki meant, he simply pondered for a moment and then said with a smile, "If that's all, I have no objection."
, Now I hold 27 shares of Seibu Group, and as long as I acquire 23 shares, I will be eligible to join the board of directors of Seibu Group, which is easy to do."
If it hadn't been for this conversation between Tsutsumi Yoshiaki and Chu Huan, Chu Huan's acquisition of 23 Seibu Group's shares in the market would have definitely been noticed based on Seibu Group's influence in Japan, and would have caused some panic.
Under such circumstances, it is impossible for Chu Huan to join the board of directors of Seibu Group.
But if Chu Huan and Tsutsumi Yoshiaki had negotiated this matter privately, then the rest would be simple.
Hearing what Chu Huan said, the smile on Tsutsumi Yoshiaki's face became brighter and brighter, "If that's the case, I'm really grateful to Chu Sang!"
"Mr. Di, you are too polite. As I said before, we are business partners and very good friends. What's more, I am also very optimistic about your plan. Those on the board of directors of your company, I can only say
, you have met a group of partners with very average abilities!”
Chu Huan said with a smile.
The current market value of Seibu Group is around US$5 billion, and at its peak it could reach more than US$160 billion. This is a 32-fold return. Chu Huan has no reason to give up such a good investment opportunity.
The transaction with Yoshiaki Tsutsumi was actually about getting what each wanted. Chu Huan was interested in the future development potential of the Seibu Group, while Yoshiaki Tsutsumi was interested in the cash in Chu Huan's hands, and under the current circumstances, he believed that Chu Huan would not do anything to Seibu.
Group poses no threat.
In fact, Tsutsumi Yoshiaki once thought about cooperating with other groups in Japan, but after careful consideration, Tsutsumi Yoshiaki rejected his idea.
Anyone who can become a director of the Seibu Group in Japan must also be a very influential person. Maybe both parties can cooperate in the beginning, but what if there is a dispute in the future?
Doesn’t this introduce an opponent of your own?
Chu Huan is different!
First of all, Chu Huan is rich. With this, the obstacle for Chu Huan to become a director of Seibu Group is basically cleared.
Secondly, Chu Huan's power is in Xiangjiang, not Japan. Based on his influence in Japan, he can easily control Chu Huan. Even if the two have differences in the development of the group in the future, Yoshiaki Tsutsumi is confident that he can control Chu Huan within the group.
Completely have the upper hand.
Therefore, in Yoshiaki Tsutsumi's view, Chu Huan is his perfect partner who is rich and has no influence on his rights!
Of course, if Tsutsumi Yoshi had known about Chu Huan's secret plan, or had seen Zhongzengen Kanghong's re-emergence, he would definitely not think so.
"Mr. Di, as you said, I have a request now and I hope you can help me!"
Now that Tsutsumi Yoshiaki has finished talking about his affairs, Chu Huan naturally has to talk about his own affairs.
Tsutsumi Yoshiaki, who had just received Chu Huan's promise to help, naturally could not say anything at this time. He said, "Chu Sang, please tell me, I will definitely do my best!"
Chu Huan raised his head slightly and said, "Actually, this matter is about Mr. Seiji Tsutsumi."
Tsutsumi Yoshiaki frowned slightly. He originally thought that Chu Huan was talking about things related to him, but he didn't expect that Chu Huan was talking about things about Tsutsumi Seiji himself, his half-brother.
The relationship between him and Seiji Tsutsumi has always been somewhat tense due to the competition for family property. Although the relationship between the two parties has eased due to his help to Seiji Tsutsumi in the past, it is not as good as it is.
.
However, Chu Huan had just agreed to help him, so Yoshiaki Tsutsumi couldn't possibly know everything, so he refused Chu Huan's request first.
"Chu Sang, please speak, I will try my best to help!"
Chu Huan could understand Tsutsumi Yoshiaki's attitude and said with a smile, "The thing is like this, I know that Mr. Tsutsumi Seiji's Seibu Department Store business in Hong Kong is in cooperation with the Zhang Yuliang family in Xiangjiang. Before coming to Japan, I
Our company has just completed the acquisition of the Zhang Yuliang family’s business in Xiangjiang, so I would like to ask Mr. Tsutsumi to discuss with Mr. Tsutsumi Seiji whether you can sell me the equity of Xiangjiang Seibu Department Store 49?"
Xiangjiang Seibu Department Store is the product of the cooperation between Seiji Tsutsumi and Zhang Yuliang. Zhang Yuliang holds 51% of the shares and the Japanese Seibu Department Store Group holds 49%. However, Zhang Yuliang only holds the controlling interest and the management rights are handed over to the Japanese Seibu Department Store Group. Now Chu Huan
Having acquired all of Zhang Yuliang's properties in Xiangjiang, he naturally wants to fully incorporate Xiangjiang Seibu Department Store into his own company.
In the future, it will be easier to find an opportunity to sell it to Zhu Xiaozhao's Yunhai chain without arousing suspicion.
At this time, the Yunhai chain was no longer a stand-alone convenience store business model.
It has convenience stores, supermarkets, and department stores, and its current business map has begun in Southeast Asia.
But its scale has already become the largest chain retailer in Asia!
After Tsutsumi Yoshiaki pondered for a moment, he said seriously, "Chu Sang, it stands to reason that you have agreed to help me just now, and I should also agree to help you at this time, but my relationship with Tsutsumi Seiji, I want you to
I know that, and all I can say now is that I will try my best to help you complete this matter, but I can’t give you a specific guarantee right now!”
Chu Huan was not disappointed with Tsutsumi Yoshiaki's answer. As Tsutsumi Yoshiaki said, Chu Huan still knew about his relationship with Tsutsumi Seiji, so this time he just let him try. If he succeeded, everything would be fine.
Okay, if it doesn't work
"Mr. Tsutsumi, although the contract previously signed between Zhang Yuliang and Seiji Tsutsumi was that Seibu Department Store in Japan was responsible for managing the Seibu Department Store in Xiangjiang, I have always held the equity of Seibu Department Store 51, and the other side is Xiangjiang. Of course, if Tsutsumi
Mr. Seiji is willing to sell his shares in Seibu Department Store, and I will definitely give him a satisfactory price!"
A stick and a sweet date!
This is the feast Chu Huan prepared for Te Seiji.
North American Universal Bank controls Far Eastern Bank, but has no way to give orders to the management of Far Eastern Bank. But Chu Huan is different. As he said, that's Xiangjiang over there.
It would be very easy for Chu Huan to make Seibu Department Store Group suffer.
Yoshiaki Tsutsumi didn't have any objections to Chu Huan's strategy, and said with a smile, "Don't worry, Chu Sang, I will definitely express your thoughts!"
"Thank you!"
After the conversation between the two ended, Tsutsumi Yoshiaki left here with a satisfied mood.
"Boss, Yoshiaki Tsutsumi is a very domineering and capricious person according to the analysis of the company secretarial department. I just checked. According to the current market value of Seibu Group, if we want to acquire 23 shares of Seibu Group in the stock market
, then it would require 11.5 billion U.S. dollars, which is enough to acquire a listed company in Xiangjiang!"
After Wu Shuhan left, Wu Shuhan asked Chu Huan with some confusion.
Chu Huan chuckled lightly and said, "It doesn't matter what kind of person Tsutsumi Yoshiaki is. The most important thing is whether the Seibu Group can grow and develop under the leadership of Tsutsumi Yoshiaki. I still have no regard for Tsutsumi Yoshiaki's future development plan for the Seibu Group."
It’s very promising, with US$11.5 billion, I think there should be a very good profit.”
Seeing that Chu Huan was so determined, Wu Shuhan said nothing.
The next day!
After settling the matter in Japan's Kaku, Chu Huan stayed in the villa in Shibuya District today and did not go out, but Chu Huan still had things to deal with.
Ichiro Isoda from Sumitomo Bank is here today.
And when he came here this time, he actually had something he wanted to ask Chu Huan for advice.
Hanaoka Nanakura invited Ichiro Isoda to Chu Huan's study.
"Chu Sang's life is really enviable. He can find tranquility in the midst of chaos and have beautiful women by his side!"
After Ichiro Isoda sat down, he smiled and preached to Chu Huan.
"Mr. Isoda was joking, it was just a break in the busy schedule!" Chu Huan said with a smile.
"Chu Sang, we are very good friends, so I won't beat around the bush. I came here this time to ask Chu Sang two things!"
Ichiro Isoda looked at Chu Huan seriously.
Chu Huan smiled. When he came to Japan before, he basically took the initiative to find them. Now with the improvement of his status, these people also began to take the initiative to contact him.
"Mr. Isoda, if you have any questions, just ask!"
Ichiro Isoda nodded and said, "Our partners in Hong Kong have received news that the Hong Kong government has the idea to open up restrictions on banks outside of Hong Kong entering Hong Kong. Chu Sang has a huge influence in Hong Kong. I don't know if this news is true."
real?"
Nowadays, Xiangjiang has become the financial center of Southeast Asia. If Xiangjiang really opens the ban on overseas banks, then it will be unstoppable to become the financial center of Southeast Asia based on Xiangjiang's geographical advantages. If Sumitomo Bank can enter Xiangjiang this time, then
At that time, you can take advantage of Xiangjiang's geographical advantages to overlook the entire Southeast Asia for your business.
It can be said that this matter is a very important matter for Sumitomo Bank.
And the most important thing is that with the changes in the situation in China, Japanese businessmen have already set their sights on China, but for the time being they don’t know how to get in touch with their hometown, and Xiangjiang is
A good way to skip work!
Although China's current economic strength is still very poor, its large population, vast land, and rich resources are actually things that foreign businessmen value very much.
In the economic society, these businessmen have long understood that although land reclamation represents risks, it also represents huge profits and returns if successful.
Nowadays, Xiangjiang has become a springboard for many businessmen from other places. If you can enter the market of Xiangjiang, you can overlook the market of the entire Southeast Asia and look forward to the future market of China.
Ichiro Isoda saw this exactly, so he came here in person today to confirm this matter with Chu Huan.
Chu Huan naturally understood Isoda Ichiro's thoughts. Regarding Isoda Ichiro's questions, Chu Huan did not hide anything. Xiangjiang's liberalization of overseas financial controls was already a certainty, even if he could not get an answer here.
Yes, Ichiro Isoda must have a way to get the answer elsewhere.
So there is no need to hide it.
"Alder Commercial Bank has started working on this!"
Ichiro Isoda knew that Chu Huan owned Alder Commercial Bank of North America.
Hearing what Chu Huan said, Ichiro Isoda was instantly excited. If he had some doubts before, now that he got this answer from Chu Huan, basically, the matter was already settled!
"Thank you Chu Sang!" Isoda Ichiro thanked him first, and then continued to ask, "My friends, tell me that Chu Sang said many times in Xiangjiang that he was not very optimistic about the future development of the shipping industry. I wonder if this is true?"
Japan's shipping industry is also an important business in their own country at this time. When Gibson Shipping Brokerage ranked the top ten shipping kings in the world last year, Pao Yugang topped the list.
Ranked second is Nippon Sanko Shipping, and fourth is Nippon Ferry.
It can be seen that this industry is also very important to Japan, and Sumitomo Bank is also one of the important partners of these two shipping companies, although it is not as close as Mitsubishi Bank and Industrial Bank.
At the same time, Japan Steam Navigation is also an important partner of Pao Yugang. Pao Yugang's operation on the steamship is actually different from other shipping kings.
Most of the other shipping kings purchase ships and then operate them themselves. The representative among them is Dong Haoyun's Orient Overseas.
This is not the case for Yugang Pao. After purchasing most of the ships of Global Shipping, Yugang Pao directly leased them to shipping companies in local countries, which also avoided a lot of risks.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! After all, Bao Yugang signed a long-term ship rental contract with the other party. Even if there is a problem with the freight, it is the shipping company that needs to bear the risk, not Bao Yugang's.
Worldwide shipping.
But this does not mean that Pao Yugang can sit back and relax.
Just like the Japanese steamship just mentioned, this company will encounter a financial crisis this year, and there was once news that it might go bankrupt.
If Japan Steam Navigation goes bankrupt, the lease contract signed by Bao Yugang and the other party will naturally be useless, and Bao Yugang will take over the ship that he rented to Japan Steam Navigation. Then the pressure will naturally come to Bao Yugang
on the body.
Chu Huan has repeatedly stated in Xiangjiang that he is not optimistic about the future development of the shipping industry. As the financial giant who pays most attention to Chu Huan in Japan, Ichiro Isoda naturally also knew about this matter through other channels, so this time Isoda
Only Ichiro would ask such a question.
Japan not only has shipping companies such as Japan Sanko and Japan Steamship that operate ships, but it is also one of the largest shipbuilding bases in the world. Many top ships are produced by Japanese shipyards.
It can be said that if a shipping crisis really occurs, Japan will definitely be hit hard!
Chu Huan nodded and said, "I am indeed not optimistic about the future development of the shipping industry. Mr. Isoda lives in Japan and is the general manager of Sumitomo Bank. I think you should know something about the situation of Japanese ships, right?"
"
Regarding the poor management of Japanese steamships, it has been published in Japanese newspapers during this period. Although Chu Huan has been resting and working in Japan these days, he has not forgotten to collect Japanese information. For this news
Still very impressive.
Ichiro Isoda nodded solemnly, "That's true. So what are Chu Sang's specific views on the world shipping industry?"
Chu Huan repeated what he had said to Bao Yugang before to Ichiro Isoda.
After hearing this, Ichiro Isoda nodded seriously. Although he would conduct a thorough investigation according to Chu Huan's instructions, after Chu Huan's explanation, Ichiro Isoda still had to think about many issues that he had never thought of before.
Understood!
"Chu Sang, no matter what the outcome of this matter is, I am personally very grateful to Chu Sang for telling the truth!"
Ichiro Isoda thanked Chu Huan seriously.
Chu Huan smiled and waved his hand and said, "Mr. Isoda is so polite. I am very happy to be able to help Mr. Isoda."
Isoda Ichiro's question was answered, and Chu Huan naturally had to put forward his own ideas.
"Mr. Isoda, I am having a meeting in Jiaku these two days, and I have an idea that I would like to discuss with Mr. Isoda."
Isoda Ichiro nodded and said, "Chu Sang, please speak!"
Chu Huan said, "Huahai Real Estate and Haiyun Real Estate want to take out a second mortgage on the house, but I know Sumitomo Bank's loan policy. The loan interest in this regard is higher than the first mortgage interest."
Isoda Ichiro understood and immediately said, "Huahai Real Estate and Haiyun Real Estate are very distinguished partners of our Sumitomo Bank. At this point, Chusang, please rest assured that I will hold a meeting with the bank's board of directors to discuss and reduce the impact of the two companies on our
The interest on the bank’s second mortgage!”
Chu Huan smiled. This is his goal. Both parties can help each other. Only in this way can the cooperative relationship between the two be deepened!
But this is not the only thing that Chu Huan and Isoda Ichiro discussed. Chu Huan also has another major matter to discuss with Sumitomo Bank.
"Mr. Isoda, recently Alder Commercial Bank has been thinking of ways to enter Japan's banking industry, but after inspection, we believe that if we want to enter Japan's banking industry, we need to have more in-depth cooperation with Japanese commercial banks.
So I personally think that our two banks can cooperate in Japan."
Chu Huan's idea is actually very simple. Although Chu Huan already has influence in Japan that others don't know about, the financial industry is too important. What's important is that Chu Huan now has influence in Japan.
, it is difficult to enter this industry, and even if you do, you will face many problems.
In fact, the best way to solve this problem is to find a cooperative bank in Japan.
If Alde Commercial Bank enters Japan, it can seek partners in the Japanese branch and let them invest in the Japanese branch of Alde Commercial Bank. In this case, many problems will be solved.
In fact, many foreign banks in Hong Kong also do this.
And the partner that Chu Huan is currently eyeing is actually Sumitomo Bank!
"I hope that the banks on both sides can exchange shares with each other. In this way, Alde Commercial Bank can use Sumitomo Bank's influence in Japan to successfully enter the Japanese banking industry. At the same time, Sumitomo Bank can also use Alde Commercial Bank's influence in North America.
influence and expand its business in Europe and the United States!"
Chu Huan only wanted to exchange the shares of the Japanese branch for shares of Sumitomo Bank. As for the North American head office, Chu Huan would definitely not let Sumitomo Bank take a stake.
And when Japan's economic bubble bursts in the future, Alder Commercial Bank may even use its shares in Sumitomo Bank to officially enter Japan's top chaebol circle!
Ichiro Isoda fell into silence after listening to Chu Huan's words. He needs to think about this matter carefully!
