In the following days, Chu Huan basically traveled back and forth between his manor and the Santa Monica Beach Shell Hotel!
During this period, Chu Huan successively met with senior executives of Hopewell International-Wheelock, including Joe John, to hear about the situation of Hopewell International-Wheelock, and then held meetings with many senior executives of North American Jiaku, and finally
It was a meeting of senior executives from Europe and other regions to discuss the matter.
The whole process lasted ten days, and the remaining days were filled with meetings between senior executives of various branches of Jiaku.
Wu Shuhan would show Chu Huan the meeting summaries of these companies every day.
After the meeting with Jiaku, Chu Huan met with Chen Haichao who came to North America again. This time Chu Huan directly heard about Kyushu's situation in North America and Europe.
When all this is over, it will be March 23rd!
"Would you like someone to come over and press your buttons?"
Wu Shuhan was standing behind Chu Huan at this time, gently pressing Chu Huan's shoulders, but she also knew that her method was definitely not professional. During this time, Chu Huan had been busy with the whole Jiaku matter, and her expression was confused.
It is inevitable that fatigue has appeared.
"Okay, just relax!"
Chu Huan took Wu Shuhan to the spa room of the manor, where two young girls were already preparing.
Chu Huan and Wu Shuhan took off their clothes and lay on the bed, and the young girls began to massage them.
"Boss, the shares of Hua Electric have been allocated. Hehe International-Wheelock and Chinese Land will each get half!"
There are two special companies under the name of Hopewell International-Wheelock, neither of which Chu Huan can fully control. One of them is the China Gas that Wu Shuhan is talking about now. Originally China Gas had five major shareholders, namely Hopewell International and Huihe
Defeng, Junyicang, Li Mingze of the Li family, and Li Fushu of the Li family.
However, later Hehe International acquired Junyicang, so Junyicang's shares in China Town Gas naturally belonged to Hehe International. Then Hehe International acquired Wheelock, so Wheelock's shares in China Gas naturally fell to Hehe International.
Hehe International-Wheelock's body.
Now Hehe International-Wheelock owns three-fifths of the shares of China Town Gas, which has exceeded the equity requirements of China Town Gas as a public utility listed company. So after thinking about it, Chu Huan asked John Qiao to transfer Hehe International-Wheelock
The shares held by China Town Gas were divided into two and half was sold to Chinese Real Estate!
The share distribution of Chinese Real Estate is an anomaly among the companies controlled by Chu Huan.
Because the major shareholder of Chinese Real Estate is the Chu Trust Fund, this can perfectly circumvent some laws in Hong Kong.
Another special company is the Xiangjiang Tunnel. This company, like China Town Gas, is a public listed company and cannot be privatized. Its main business is the Hung Hom Tunnel in Xiangjiang...
There is a fee to pass through the tunnel!
However, the largest shareholder of this company is not Wheelock. Wheelock can only be regarded as one of the major shareholders.
Chu Huan was lying on the bed, and the young woman behind him had already dripped essential oil on his penis and was massaging it with moderate force.
After letting out a comfortable groan first, Chu Huan said: "When I return to Xiangjiang, tell John Qiao that the transformation of Hehe International-Wheelock is urgent. When I return to Xiangjiang, I want to be with him.
Where can I see the complete reform route!”
Wu Shuhan was also lying there and said, "Okay, Sister Xu and I will keep an eye on this matter."
Prior to this, although the development of Hehe International-Wheelock spread across many industries in Hong Kong, its core business was still real estate, shipping, port, trading and other businesses.
However, after Chu Huan carefully studied the business of Hehe International-Wheelock and made a comprehensive assessment of the businesses of other companies in Xiangjiang Jiaku, Chu Huan decided to transform the business of Hehe International-Wheelock.
In terms of real estate, Hehe International-Wheelock will comply with Chu Huan's previous regulations in Xiangjiang and abandon the independent development of residential properties. As for the large amount of land reserved by this group, it will need to be re-evaluated to ensure that it is suitable for commercial development.
The land for the building and industrial building will be developed independently or jointly with Zhulu Real Estate.
The remaining residential land will be released at irregular intervals for cooperation with other real estate developers in Hong Kong.
In terms of shipping, the most important thing for these two companies is to sell their existing oil tankers in exchange for more cash.
Now that Chu Huan has invested in Japan's Laidao Shipyard, Hoho International-Wheelock will cooperate with Japan's Laidao Shipyard in this regard. After all, with Laidao Shipyard, one of the largest shipyards in Asia, cooperation can also
Sell your tankers faster.
But at the same time, it is necessary to restart the previous business, such as Wheelock Shipping. This company was formerly known as Xiangjiang Steel Co., Ltd. Its main business is to dismantle ships and use the dismantled scrap steel for the construction industry in Xiangjiang.
.
Now that Chu Huan has invested in Japan's Mitsui & Co., he has naturally entered the steel industry. The two parties will conduct new cooperation to redevelop Wheelock Shipping's steel business.
However, whether it is Xiangjiang now or in the future, the market is too small. In addition, Xiangjiang itself is definitely not suitable for becoming a large-scale MTR company. Therefore, in Chu Huan’s plan, Wheelock Shipping
In the future, the company will become an investment entity, just like the development model of Xiangjiang Jiaku and Japan's Mitsui & Co., more often it will establish new steel companies in joint ventures with local governments in other regions and invest in the local iron ore industry.
Therefore, Wheelock Shipping will also be renamed Wheelock Steel in the future!
Of course, for Wheelock Steel at this time, everything is still in its infancy. To put it simply, there is a shortage of people, equipment, and technology. The only thing that is not lacking is money!
During Chu Huan's meeting with John Qiao, he had already contacted Mitsui Takacho of the Mitsui family. Mitsui Takacho was also very interested in entering the steel market in Xiangjiang, but he also understood what the market in Xiangjiang was like. The most important thing was
I still want to use the Xiangjiang market to look north to China, and at the same time, I can overlook the entire Southeast Asian market.
Therefore, Chu Huan had no objection to Mitsui Gaonaga's request to become a shareholder. After all, he had nothing but money. He needed the support of Mitsui & Co. in terms of equipment, technology, and talents.
However, Chu Huan will not give Mitsui & Co. too many shares. The main body of Wheelock Steel will still be Hehe International-Wheelock!
In addition, there is another company under the name of the original Hehe International. It has not been well-known before, but is valued by Chu Huan. That is Xiangjiang Anderson Daya. This is a quarry and the largest quarry in Xiangjiang.
Mining factory.
In fact, Anderson Daya was not founded by Hehe International, but was invested and founded by Xiangjiang Lu Zhihe. This Lu Zhihe was also one of the gambling kings in Haojiang in the later period who was as famous as He Hongshen.
During the period when Chu Huan acquired Hehe International and entrusted Qi Dezun to manage it, Hehe International was under the name Anderson Minerals Co., Ltd. at that time.
Lui Chi-ho's company was called Anderson Road Quarry at the time.
Last year, Anderson Quarry went public and merged with Anderson Quarry Co., Ltd. of Hehe International at the end of the year. This is now one of the few listed companies under the name of Hehe International-Wheelock.
In Chu Huan's memory, if nothing unexpected happens, Anderson Daya will be frantically sold by a major shareholder on the board of directors this year. Lu Zhihe will suffer heavy losses, but he will also be given a lot of money.
Chu Huan's opportunity allows Chu Huan to fully control this listed company.
By then, Chu Huan would have shares in CMB, KMB, China Gas, Qingzhou Yingni, Anderson Daya, Wheelock Steel, many pieces of land in Hong Kong, and major real estate companies in Hong Kong.
And Chu Huan has become a veritable land king of Xiangjiang. The land king here does not mean how much land Chu Huan owns, but that Chu Huan can truly dominate the real estate market in Xiangjiang.
This naturally shows that the steel industry will slowly become the main business of Hehe International-Wheelock in the future, but this development process will definitely be very long.
Then Chu Huan said to Wu Shuhan: "At this time, you and Xu Yi can calculate how much funds we still have in hand. In addition to Kelly and David Maxwell, we will also spend some
Come out and enter the foreign exchange industry, but this time don’t use leverage!
At the same time, allocate this money separately for operation within our investment companies, and do not operate it centrally!"
Wu Shuhan nodded, having no objection to Chu Huan's instructions.
In fact, there is a reason for Chu Huan to do this. Although Chu Huan also spent a lot of money last year, such as purchasing the World Financial Tower in Manhattan Center, New York. The total investment of this project was 1.5 billion US dollars, but the initial stage was only
It only cost Chu Huan 500 million US dollars.
Even if the cash lent to Murdoch is included, Chu Huan still has at least tens of billions of dollars in cash in his hands at this time.
If any financial magazine investigated Chu Huan at this time, they would definitely place Chu Huan as the richest man in the world without hesitation.
It is definitely impossible for all the tens of billions of US dollars to be used to invest in foreign exchange. This amount of funds is too large. Chu Huan will spend at most two to three billion US dollars to do this.
Just like this, we have to use different accounts and different countries to do this, otherwise Chu Huan is likely to attract the attention of the North American government.
Wu Shuhan smiled and asked Chu Huan: "Boss, how does it feel to be the richest man in the world?"
Chu Huan said without paying much attention: "I don't feel much at all. At this point, money is just a number!"
In fact, Chu Huan wanted to say that he had no feelings for money, but thinking about it, such words were too pretentious and could easily be punished by God, so Chu Huan decided to keep a low profile now.
After the two massaged for a while, the two young women left the room. Chu Huan was still lying there, leisurely speaking to Wu Shuhan.
"Contact Boeing and Italy's Faraday Group to order two top-notch private jets and two luxury yachts respectively!"
Now that he has become the world's richest man, Chu Huan believes that he should also show off his status as the world's richest man.
Private jets and luxury yachts are naturally standard equipment for the world's richest man.
Wu Shuhan didn't think much about it and nodded: "Okay, boss, do you have any specific requirements for these two products?"
Chu Huan slowly turned over and said with a smile: "Of course I want to enjoy it to the extreme!"
Wu Shuhan also got off her bed at this time, walked barefoot to Chu Huan, and said with a spring smile: "I know!"
Privately customized aircraft and yachts like Chu Huan's would require at least two or three years of manufacturing process, but Chu Huan didn't care much about this, so let's just do it first.
I was actually joking just now. Luxury yachts are indeed used by Chu Huan to enjoy life, but private jets are not. With the size of Jiaku now, Chu Huan will definitely fly all over the world in the future, with two
The purpose of setting up a private jet was actually to better prepare for Chu Huan’s trip.
As for why Gulfstream, a more professional manufacturer of private jets, was not found, firstly, the other party’s current technology is definitely not as complete as Boeing’s. Secondly, in the field of large private business jets, Gulfstream at this time still has no way to compare with Boeing.

Honolulu is the capital of Hawaii. For Xiangjiang movie fans, they are familiar with this place because the early stage of Zhou Xingchi's movie "The Wild Star" was shot here.
For history buffs, there is another nickname that is more familiar to everyone. The Chinese are willing to call this place Honolulu!
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Liu Pingkui has brought the crew of "Happy Ghost" here to start filming, and their main location is Chu Huan's manor in Honolulu.
"Click!"
In the garden of the manor, Liu Pingkui stopped the filming with a smile on his face and said: "Alian, Ah Hong, your acting skills are getting better and better, and Brother Feng, your performance is even more popular."
Pure love!"
After completing this shooting, today's shooting task of "Happy Ghost" has been completed. The entire team is an old team and everyone is familiar with each other, so the shooting went very smoothly.
This is not the first time that Chen Yulian and Zhong Chuhong have participated in "Happy Ghost". As the two actresses who have participated in the most episodes of the entire "Happy Ghost" series, they have become the most popular among the young generation in Hong Kong with the help of this series.
female artists, but this is also their last appearance in the "Happy Ghost" series.
As for Hu Feng... In the hearts of fans of the movie "Happy Ghost", there is a saying called the beautiful girl with flowing water and the iron-clad Hu Feng.
No matter how the heroine of this series changes, Hu Feng, the male lead, has never changed.
By the way, Hu Feng is not only a signed artist of Black and White Video, but also a signed singer of Youyu Records. Surprisingly, his records are selling very well.
"Everyone can make their own arrangements for the rest of the time, but again, no matter what you do, you must pay attention to safety, and if anything happens, contact the crew immediately!"
After Liu Pingkui warned everyone again, he asked everyone to disperse where they were.
The crew of the crew and some of the main characters left the manor one after another and took the bus rented by the crew to return to the hotel where they lived. However, Chen Yulian and Zhong Chuhong did not need it. They stayed there.
it's here.
There were no dressing rooms during this period. Private RVs allowed these actors to remove and reapply their makeup. Fortunately, Chu Huan’s estate in Honolulu now has some rooms where actors from the crew can remove and reapply their makeup. This would have been the case in Xiangjiang
When shooting outdoor scenes, if the boys don't have a very important scene of changing clothes and just simply change their jackets, pants, etc., then they can just change clothes in the street.
Before this, many artists from Xiangjiang were photographed with such scenes.
Chen Yulian and Zhong Chuhong returned to the room. When Zhong Chuhong saw Chen Yulian frowning slightly, she knew what the other person was thinking.
Today is the 24th, and at 12 o'clock tonight, it will be Chen Yulian's 18th birthday.
Girl, the sense of ritual is still very strong. Although Chen Yulian said before that she didn’t care much about failing to celebrate this birthday, when the time came to this day, Chen Yulian’s heart was inevitably a little complicated.
.
That girl doesn’t want her eighteenth-year-old coming-of-age ceremony to be a success!
"Alian, I heard there is a bonfire party at the beach tonight. Let's go for a walk. Maybe we will meet two handsome North American guys with blond hair and blue eyes!"
Zhong Chuhong comforted Chen Yulian.
Chen Yulian squeezed out a smile and said: "No need, I'm already very tired after a day of filming. It's better to have a good rest, otherwise it's time to NG tomorrow, and Director Liu will definitely curse again!"
Liu Pingkui is chubby and plump, and looks very cheerful, but he will also curse loudly when he encounters inexperienced actors on the set.
Zhong Chuhong smiled and said: "Don't worry, Director Liu won't scold us!"
It is true that Chen Yulian and Zhong Chuhong have never been scolded by Liu Pingkui. It is not because of how good their acting skills are, but simply because Liu Pingkui does not dare to scold them.
As for Chen Yulian and Zhong Chuhong, they didn't think much about it. They just thought that outsiders thought they were Chu Huan's god-sisters, so Liu Pingkui didn't scold them because of this relationship.
Fortunately, both of them are doing well and have never been late or left early.
"By the way, I read in the newspaper that Brother Huan seems to have done almost everything in North America. Do you think he will come over tomorrow?"
Zhong Chuhong asked suddenly.
Chen Yulian shook her head and said with some sadness: "She probably won't come. After all, the newspaper only reported on Brother Huan's cooperation with News Corporation and Apex Pictures, and did not mention the matter of Jiaku."
Zhong Chuhong also nodded with some disappointment and said: "Yes, there must be a lot of things going on in Jiaku. How can Brother Huan have time?"
Chen Yulian suddenly asked: "By the way, did you say that Brother Huan will appear in the live broadcast ceremony of the signing of the contract between the three parties today?"
Zhong Chuhong shook his head and said: "I don't know, but I think Brother Huan must be attending such a big event, right?"
Regarding the three-party cooperation between HBO, Apex Pictures, and News Corporation, the details have finally been finalized, and the three parties have also announced that they will hold a press conference today to officially announce the matter.
And this time, the tripartite cooperation completely shocked the whole of North America.
Everyone knows that Apex Pictures is a rising star in Hollywood nowadays, but it has the potential to thunder. Needless to say, News Corporation is one of the largest media groups in the world today. Among the three parties, HBO has the weakest presence.
At this time, viewers across the United States were not yet accustomed to pay television.
In fact, before this, Chen Yulian and Zhong Chuhong did not know the relationship between HBO and Chu Huan, and their English was not very good and they could not understand the contents of the newspaper.
The reason why we can know this is actually because of the translator of the crew. There are only two people in the entire "Happy Ghost" crew who understand English, and they are all half-baked. So after coming here, Liu Pingkui hired a translator to take charge of it.
The crew communicates with local residents.
Just the day before yesterday, the news about the tripartite cooperation between HBO, Apex Pictures, and News Corporation was published in the newspapers.
Because "Happy Ghost" is also a film crew, and one of the three-party cooperation is Apex Pictures, and the center point of the three-party cooperation is Disney.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! The most important thing is that the translator of the crew saw that Chen Yulian and Zhong Chuhong are beauties and was willing to chat with them more. During the chat, it was inevitable that
Showing off yourself.
The translator on the crew of "Happy Ghost" is named Henry, and he is a die-hard Li Xiaolong fan. This is why he learned Cantonese.
However, he is just a native of Honolulu, and he really has nothing to offer personally, so he can only look for pride in his own country.
"Lian, Hong, let me tell you, Apex Pictures and Disney are the top film studios in Hollywood in North America. Now that they have cooperated with News Corporation, they will definitely be even more powerful in the future.
You two are so beautiful. In my opinion, you can have a good development even in Hollywood, just like
uce has become an international superstar, and I happen to have a friend who works at Disney. If you two want to, I can introduce you to him!"
After Henry saw the news of the three-party cooperation in the newspaper, he immediately showed off to Chen Yulian and Zhong Chuhong.
Apex Pictures and Disney are two companies that Chen Yulian and Zhong Chuhong know. After all, Xiangjiang Black and White has also introduced Apex Pictures' "Jaws", "Rocky" and "Star Wars", and they also know Disney.
toys, but the two of them didn’t know much about News Corporation.
"What is this news about today? By the way, I see there is HBO written on this newspaper. What is it about?"
Zhong Chuhong asked Henry curiously at that time.
"News Corporation!" Henry immediately told Zhong Chuhong and Chen Yulian about the contents of News Corporation published in the newspaper vividly.
In fact, Henry himself does not know the specific situation of News Corporation, but newspapers in North America are very concerned about this news, so when reporting, they also made a detailed report on the situation of HBO, Apex Pictures, and News Corporation.
As for the focus of their three-party cooperation, Disney did not introduce much.
First, everyone knows this company, and second, because in this tripartite cooperation, Disney is just a bargaining chip, not a subject. Disney itself has no say, so the media calls it a tripartite cooperation.
"But I have to say that Apex Pictures is really powerful. I heard before that they had tortured the Jews in Hollywood, but now it's become clear. Not only did they sell Disney's shares to News Corporation, they themselves have become
As a shareholder of News Corporation, it seems that Kelly still has some tricks up her sleeve!"
After saying this, Henry told Zhong Chuhong and Chen Yulian about HBO, "This is a paid TV station in North America. It seemed to have been acquired by a company called North American Aku. Now it plays some movies that have already been released."
There are movies and sports projects, but there is no other business, and I don’t know why this company entered this transaction!”
After listening to Henry's words, Chen Yulian and Zhong Chuhong looked at each other, and they both saw surprise in each other's eyes, North American Jiaku?
Is there any connection between this TV station in North America and Brother Huan’s company?
With this idea in mind, the two became even more interested in the North American Armory, so they asked Henry about the North American Armory.
When they learned that North American Jiaku also owned North American Youyu Records and North American Wolf Smoke, they determined that this North American Jiaku company should belong to Chu Huan.
Such a discovery surprised them. Although the media and newspapers in Xiangjiang had also reported some of Chu Huan's affairs in North America, the most concerning of which was Chu Huan's acquisition of shares in Ford Motor Company, Chen Yulian and Zhong Chuhong
No one would have thought that Chu Huan's business in North America would actually involve operations at the level of Disney.
In the evening, Zhong Chuhong accompanied Chen Yulian to finish dinner. The two girls sat cross-legged on the bed. Zhong Chuhong was thinking of ways to make Chen Yulian happier.
"When we return to Xiangjiang, I will take you to eat delicious food. I will definitely let you make up for this birthday!"
Facing Zhong Chuhong's comfort, Chen Yulian squeezed out a smile and said: "Thank you, Ah Hong. If you hadn't been here today, I really don't know what I would have done!"
Zhong Chuhong chuckled and said, "Why are you so polite to me?"
"Um!"
"By the way, let's watch TV. Maybe we can actually see Brother Huan at the signing ceremony today!"
Chen Yulian nodded and said: "Okay!"
The two turned on the TV in the room, but the signing ceremony for HBO, Apex Pictures, and News Corporation had not yet begun.
After waiting for a while, as the commercial ended, the signing ceremony began.
What disappointed Chen Yulian and Zhong Chuhong was that they did not see Chu Huan at all during the ceremony. They only saw two ghost guys and a ghost girl, surrounded by reporters, starting to sign the contract and answering the reporters' questions.
question.
However, neither of them knew much English, so naturally they couldn't understand what was being said on TV.
The two had no choice but to turn on the TV and chat, hoping to see Chu Huan on the TV.
Until the end of the signing ceremony, Chu Huan did not show up, and the time slowly came to 12 o'clock, and it was his birthday soon.
Chen Yulian's eyes were a little red.
When the bell rang, Zhong Chuhong was about to wish Chen Yulian a happy birthday when the brightness of fireworks suddenly came outside their window...
