654, joined the shareholder Asia and jointly built White Goose
"The current market value of Bank of East Asia is HK$880 million. I am willing to purchase the shares of Bank of East Asia from you, Uncle Jane, at a premium of 30%."
Chu Huan continued to preach to Jian Yueqiang.
According to the analysis of Hong Kong's financial magazine, the company with the highest market value in Hong Kong so far this year is naturally HSBC, with a market value of HK$8.08 billion.
Ranked second is Hang Seng Bank, owned by HSBC Holdings, with a market capitalization of HK$5.26 billion.
Ranking third is Jardine Land, with a market value of HK$3.65 billion.
By next year, with the rapid development of Hong Kong's economy, the market value of Hong Kong's listed companies will nearly double. HSBC's will reach HK$13.37 billion, Hang Seng's will be HK$9.1 billion, and Land's will be HK$7.95 billion.
In 1980, HSBC's value was HK$24.4 billion. At this time, HSBC Land surpassed Hang Seng and ranked second among listed companies in Hong Kong, with a market value of HK$17.29 billion. Hang Seng fell one place to third, with a market value of HK$14.92 billion.
In 1981, HSBC's market value declined to HK$22.77 billion, but it still topped the list of listed companies in Hong Kong. Land Development's market value exceeded the HK$20 billion mark, reaching HK$20.14 billion. Hang Seng continued to be third, with a market value of HK$180.5
.
During the past few years, the market value of Bank of East Asia was HK$880 million, HK$1.07 billion, HK$1.35 billion, and HK$3.8 billion respectively!
It can be seen that the Bank of East Asia has been developing continuously with the economic development of Hong Kong.
However, in this process, the equity of Bank of East Asia became more and more dispersed. At the beginning, Bank of East Asia had three major shareholders, namely the Li Guanchun family, the Jian Dongpu family, the Feng Xianfen family, and some other families in Xiangjiang. At that time, the Bank of East Asia
The bank can be said to be a 100% Chinese-owned bank, but with the development of Hong Kong's financial industry in the later period, the Bank of East Asia introduced Japanese funds.
In the era when Chu Huan was reborn, although the Bank of East Asia was still under the control of the Li family, in fact, the Li family's equity in the Bank was less than 2%!
The Jian family and the Feng family even withdrew from the Bank of East Asia one after another.
This is why Chu Huan once again proposed to Jian Yueqiang to acquire his shares in Bank of East Asia.
Chu Huan had made many subtle offers to acquire Bank of East Asia's shares before, but Jian Yueqiang had never agreed. Now that Chu Huan has brought up the old matter again, it has actually shown that Chu Huan attaches great importance to the acquisition of Bank of East Asia.
"It is not an easy thing to acquire Bank of East Asia!" Jian Yueqiang neither agreed to Chu Huan's request nor opposed Chu Huan's request, but just told Chu Huan that it was not an easy thing.
"The development strategy of Bank of East Asia is very stable. The loan-to-deposit ratio has always been kept below 50%. It is one of the top 20 blue chip stocks in Hong Kong. So, Huan, it will be difficult for you to get Bank of East Asia!"
Chu Huan naturally understood this matter. To a certain extent, the difficulty of acquiring Bank of East Asia during this period was still higher than that of Standard Chartered Bank.
Although judging from the changes in the market value of Bank of East Asia above, it is not as good as the changes in market value of the first three listed companies, Bank of East Asia's development strategy has always been known for its stability. Several runs in Hong Kong have not been able to affect Bank of East Asia.
From this we can see how difficult it is for Chu Huan to acquire Bank of East Asia!
"You have to give it a try!" Chu Huan said noncommittally.
Jian Yueqiang asked Chu Huan: "Have you decided to officially enter the financial industry in Xiangjiang?"
Prior to this, although Chu Huan's Jiaoku had penetrated into various industries in Xiangjiang after acquiring Hehe International-Wheelock, in essence, it only held shares in companies in more industries.
Just like they hold part of HSBC's shares, when introducing Jiaku, it can also be said that Jiaku is involved in the financial industry.
But in essence, they are still somewhat different from the financial industry.
Now Jian Yueqiang means to ask Chu Huan if he really wants to enter the financial industry like real estate, games, media and other industries?
Chu Huan nodded and said: "I have acquired a bank called Alder Commercial Bank in North America, and have also obtained a bank license in Xiangjiang. I am now preparing for the opening of the bank in Xiangjiang, so acquiring a local bank in Xiangjiang is very important to me.
It’s already inevitable!”
Jian Yueqiang took it for granted that Chu Huan was planning to follow the tactics of foreign banks, "So you want to use Alder Commercial Bank to acquire Bank of East Asia?"
Chu Huan said to Jian Yueqiang: "No, these are two independent banks, and they do not hold shares in each other!"
Jian Yueqiang failed to understand what Chu Huan meant at the first time. Isn't this unnecessary?
Since the two banks have the same owner, there will naturally be more benefits after the merger. Why doesn't Chu Huan let the two banks merge?
But soon, Jian Yueqiang understood what Chu Huan meant.
"Do you want to use the Bank of East Asia as a springboard to look into the investment environment in your hometown?"
"Nothing can be hidden from Uncle Jian, I do have this idea!" Chu Huan nodded.
"It seems that you are very optimistic about the environment in your hometown!" Jian Yueqiang couldn't help but sigh. He would rather give up the benefits of the merger of the two banks and find a way to penetrate the Bank of East Asia into the financial market in his hometown. Isn't this right?
What are you optimistic about the development of your hometown?
"I have always believed that in the next few decades, my hometown will be one of the regions with the fastest economic development in the world, and even within a certain period of time, it will become the fastest growing place in the world!"
When talking about the situation in his hometown, Chu Huan's tone was full of confidence!
Just when Jian Yueqiang was about to say something, he suddenly froze and asked: "You just said that what you acquired in North America was Alde Commercial Bank?"
Chu Huan nodded: "That's right!"
"Is it the Alder Commercial Bank that just entered the Japanese financial market and cooperated with Mitsui & Co., Sumitomo Bank, Kurushima Shipyard, Yomiuri Shimbun, and Nomura Securities?" Jian Yueqiang continued to confirm.
Chu Huan also continued to smile and nod.
"Everyone knows that Ah Huan, your overseas investment is definitely not small, but they didn't expect it to be so big!" Jian Yueqiang couldn't help but sigh.
Chu Huan smiled modestly.
"Even if you get our Jian family's shares in the Bank of East Asia, it will be difficult for you to control the Bank of East Asia. The Li family was able to drive me out of the Bank of East Asia, not just because of their financial advantage!" Jian Yueqiang said to Chu Huan.
.
"It's even possible that your acquisition may bring about the reconciliation of brothers Li Fushu and Li Fuzhao!"
The Feng family and the Li family have really great influence in Xiangjiang, especially in the Chinese circle.
Chu Huan said: "I understand, but I still feel that as long as Uncle Jian can sell me the shares of Bank of East Asia first, the rest of the matter will be easy to handle!"
The three major shareholders of Bank of East Asia, the Jian family, the Feng family, and the Li family, control more than half of the shares of Bank of East Asia.
If the three of them work together, it will be almost impossible for Chu Huan to gain control of the Bank of East Asia. But as long as their iron triangle is broken, the difficulty of acquiring the Bank of East Asia will be infinitely reduced.
In fact, the Bank of East Asia has not been attacked.
In the 1980s, the three companies cashed out by selling their shares in Bank of East Asia. At its weakest point, the three companies and their friends held less than 20% of Bank of East Asia's shares, which also gave opportunities to those who coveted Bank of East Asia's shares.
Among them was Liu Luanxiong, known as the sniper in the stock market at that time, who was preparing to snipe the Bank of East Asia. When the three banks learned the news, they broke out in a cold sweat.
Later, he had no choice but to invite Henderson's Li Zhaoji to join the board of directors of Bank of East Asia, and then spent huge sums of money to acquire Bank of East Asia's shares in the stock market through Sun Hung Kai Securities.
In the end, Liu Luanxiong feinted and stopped his attack on the Bank of East Asia!
Liu Luanxiong could only make the Board of Directors of Bank of East Asia break out in a cold sweat, but Chu Huan really had the ability to acquire shares of Bank of East Asia.
"It is impossible to sell it to you. If possible, I hope to obtain part of the corresponding shares of Alde Commercial Bank Xiangjiang Branch!"
Jian Yueqiang finally made his decision.
Chu Huan just thought about it briefly and said, "No problem, but Uncle Jian's shares won't be too much!"
Jian Yueqiang laughed and said: "It doesn't matter if you have more or less, as long as I can continue to be deeply bound to you, Ah Huan!"
Not talking about overseas financial resources, just talking about Xiangjiang, Chu Huan is already a giant in Xiangjiang at this time. As long as Xiangjiang's economy does not collapse, Chu Huan's financial resources will continue to rise. Although Jian Yueqiang is already old, he
You should also consider your own descendants.
As long as you are deeply tied to Chu Huan's business, your descendants will be able to sit back and relax in the future.
This is what Jian Yueqiang really thinks!
Although Chu Huan has always been very optimistic about his hometown, Jian Yueqiang believes more in what he sees, which is the development prospects of Xiangjiang. When Alde Commercial Bank enters the financial market of Xiangjiang, it will be able to overlook the financial market of the entire Southeast Asia.
That's the most important thing.
Chu Huan nodded and said: "In that case, I will ask Xu Yi to draw up a specific equity transaction document and bring it to you, Uncle Jian!"
Jian Yueqiang nodded. Now that he had decided to let Chu Huan acquire his shares in Bank of East Asia, Jian Yueqiang also began to make suggestions for Chu Huan's future affairs.
"If you want to gain control of Bank of East Asia, in addition to the shares you exchanged from me, the next person you need to conquer is Feng Xunfen. The Feng family and the Li family have always been at odds, and because of your acquisition
The relationship between the Chinese real estate companies is even worse. If you can come up with a bargaining chip to interest the Feng family, I believe they will still be interested in your deal!"
Chu Huan thanked: "Thank you, Uncle Jian, I think so too."
A Far East Bank is far from being able to meet Chu Huan's demand for Hong Kong's local banking industry, but if a Bank of East Asia is added, the situation will be different.
In a few years, when the next round of bank runs in Xiangjiang begins, Chu Huan will be able to overlook the entire banking industry in Xiangjiang. At that time, Chu Huan will become an indispensable force in the banking group in Xiangjiang.
!
The two discussed the details for a long time, and by the time Chu Huan left Jian Yueqiang's house, it was already afternoon.
Then Chu Huan neither returned to the company nor to No. 12 Mount Calais Road, but came to Huo Tsar Huang's home.
.
The reason for coming to Royal Huosha was because Chu Huan received a call from Huo Zhenting. Emperor Huosha wanted to discuss something with Chu Huan.
After meeting with Huo Shahuang and exchanging pleasantries, Huo Shahuang told the reason why he invited Chu Huan over.
"Ah Huan, I want to build an international first-class hotel in Yangcheng. I have discussed this matter with the leaders of Guangdong Province and Yangcheng. They are also very satisfied with my plan. What do you think? Do you have any ideas?
If you are interested in joining, Mr. He from Haojiang has also agreed to become a shareholder!"
Chu Huan did not expect that Emperor Huo invited him over for this matter. If his memory was correct and the development of history was not wrong, the world-class hotel that Emperor Huo mentioned should be the very famous one later.
It’s the White Goose Hotel (the full name seems to be illegal).
Now that Emperor Huo is taking the lead in this matter, Mr. He has become a shareholder, and now he has invited Chu Huan, it is obvious that Emperor Huo has regarded Chu Huan as a being of the same level back home.
"I have no objection, but does your hometown have experience in managing world-class hotels?"
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! If it is left to future generations, this problem will naturally not be a problem, but now this problem is a real problem, and there is no problem back home.
Experience in managing world-class hotels.
"Of course there is no one back home. I have already thought about it. After the hotel is built, we can definitely hire talents from Xiangjiang to manage the White Goose Hotel!"
Whenever Tsar Huo mentioned investing in his hometown, he always seemed particularly energetic.
Chu Huan chuckled and said: "Uncle Huo, I think you'd better discuss this matter with your hometown. It's not like you don't know the environment in your hometown. If you want them to agree to hand over this hotel to Xiangjiang,
It’s not an easy task for a management team to manage.”
Of course Huo Shahuang is no longer a mediocre person. After Chu Huan reminded him, he immediately thought of the difficulty, but Huo Shahuang definitely didn't want to give up on this investment.
"Ah Huan, since you raised this question, I think you must have your own solution to this problem, right?"
Chu Huan thought for a while and said: "Uncle Huo, in my opinion, the idea of jointly building a world-class hotel with my hometown is definitely not a problem, but to put it bluntly, we must get the investment funds, so we
We must ensure that after the hotel is built, it must have complete supporting services. Only in this way can we attract more guests!"
Emperor Huo had no objection to Chu Huan's words and nodded.
"Since this is certain, we must have a set of personnel that can support the international hotel industry services. Therefore, we must have the right to speak in terms of operations!"
Chu Huan preached seriously.
Chu Huan has no objection to investing in his hometown. In fact, Chu Huan was attracted by the hotel industry in his hometown from the very beginning. Even if Huo Tsar Emperor did not invest in the White Goose Hotel this time, Chu Huan would still have this opportunity.
Idea.
But as Chu Huan said, there is no room for carelessness in managing this matter.
Because of the special environment in my hometown nowadays, entering such a company is basically like getting a pass to take a break. It is difficult to ensure their enthusiasm for doing things?
Especially in the service industry, the people who can afford to stay in such hotels at this time must be international tourists. If there is no top-notch service, not only the guests but also the reputation will be lost.
"But as you just said, my hometown must also attach great importance to this area. It is impossible for them not to send anyone!"
Tsar Huo preached with some worry.
Chu Huan said: "I think it can be like this. The management team and service team must have our people there, but at the same time, we can also recruit some staff from our hometown and arrange them to study in the hotel in Xiangjiang in advance, etc.
After the construction of the hotel in Yangcheng is completed, these people can be divided into various departments and continue to learn from our people. If they can really grow up in the future, then even if our cooperation with our hometown expires in the future, they will
People can also take over the hotel smoothly.
We can even use this to cultivate more hotel management talents for our hometown."
"This is a good idea. I will return to Yangcheng in the next few days to discuss this matter with the people over there!" Emperor Huo said happily immediately after hearing this.
In fact, this method was not thought of by Chu Huan, but by Huo Tsarhuang. In another time and space, the hotel was still under construction. Who should manage the hotel? This issue has been put on the table.
High-end hotels in Xiangjiang are usually managed by prestigious Asian or international management groups, such as Hilton, Sheraton, Holiday Inn, Shangri-La, etc.
It is handed over to the group for management, and the contract is signed for a period of at least 10 years. The group owns all personnel and financial rights, and draws management fees from the total turnover.
After a long discussion, Emperor Huo and his hometown decided to allocate 2,000 employees for training and internships, and send some of the key personnel to Xiangjiang to study.
In fact, it is precisely because of this decision that in the next few years, all the outstanding hotel management talents in my hometown will come from this group of people.
"Don't be anxious yet, there is one more thing I think you need to discuss with your hometown!"
Chu Huan preached to Tsar Huo.
Many things are like this. The original intention is good, but it does not mean that everything is good in the process, especially this kind of business project with hometown.
To put it bluntly, this is actually a collision of two ideologies.
It would be strange if there weren't many problems in the process. Chu Huan also hopes that by cooperating with his hometown to build a hotel this time, he can find and solve problems, and then promote this model to other places in his hometown.
Faced with Chu Huan's problem, Huo Shahuang was not impatient, but took it seriously. Chu Huan's proposal just now had solved a possible trouble. Huo Shahuang hoped that this investment could be completed smoothly.
So the less trouble in this process, the better.
"Ah Huan, tell me!"
Chu Huan said: "That is the design issue of the hotel. I wonder if Uncle Ho is going to let designers from his hometown be responsible for designing the construction of the hotel, or does he want designers from Xiangjiang to design the construction of the hotel?"
"Ah Huan, I hope you can understand this matter!" Huo Shahuang heard that Chu Huan mentioned this matter, and immediately told Chu Huan seriously: "Although designers in Xiangjiang can design products that are more in line with international standards,
Standard hotels are coming out, but I still hope that designers from my hometown can design this hotel. Although this will increase the risk of hotel design, it can also improve the level of domestic designers and allow them to more quickly integrate with international standards.
I even hope that the construction company from my hometown will build it!”
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Chu Huan nodded and expressed his understanding of Huo Tsar Huang's thoughts. In fact, Chu Huan still admired Huo Tsar Emperor very much on many things.
Although some people in later generations also criticized Huo Tsar, one thing is certain. The treatment he received when Huo Tsar left has actually made it clear that this old man's contribution to his hometown is definitely far greater.
than his dirty stuff.
In fact, in many things, Tsar Huo did not ask for anything in return.
Let’s take the White Ear Hotel as an example. The total investment was 200 million. Although later generations have proved that this investment was worthwhile. In the 8 years since its opening, the White Ear Hotel has received 3.15 million guests, with an occupancy rate of 76% and an operating income of more than 920 million yuan.
, with a profit of more than 300 million yuan.
But in the early stages of construction, no one could be sure that the hotel would make money.
What's more, in this era, my hometown needs such a hotel to improve its international image.
And don’t forget, in this era when the per capita income is less than 50 yuan, what is the concept of a hotel with an investment of 200 million yuan!
So when Emperor Huo revealed this matter, Chu Huan was not surprised at all.
"Uncle Huo, I have no problem with your opinion, but if you want your hometown to design it, you need to let them know what an international hotel is like. They can't just imagine it. At the same time, some old people's ideas are still a bit outdated.
At this point, I would also like to trouble Uncle Huo to communicate with you. Generally speaking, in my opinion, this group of designers should also come to Xiangjiang to experience what a modern top hotel is like, so that they can truly
Let this hotel be able to seamlessly integrate with international standards!”
If it were to build an antique hotel full of classical elements from his hometown, Chu Huan would definitely not mention this idea, but now Huo Tsarong wants to build a modern hotel that is in line with international standards, so the designers from his hometown really need to come
Learn from the experience here in Xiangjiang!
"Yes, Ah Huan, you are right. This matter is indeed something I ignored before. I will discuss the previous matter with my hometown together with this matter!"
Tsar Huo preached happily.
Huo Zhenting, who had been silent all this time, suddenly said: "By the way, daddy, Ah Huan has always had a good relationship with the Kadoorie family of the Grand Hotel. Now Guo Henian's Shangri-La Hotel has been handed over to the Grand Hotel. In addition, Ah Huan's hotel is also in charge of the Grand Hotel.
My uncle Cao Yunzu is now the top designer in Xiangjiang, I think these two groups of people can be arranged by Ah Huan!"
Through a series of designs for Jiaku Commercial Center and commercial buildings, Cao Yunzu has become the top designer in Hong Kong.
After being reminded by Huo Zhenting, Emperor Huo couldn't help but look at Chu Huan.
Chu Huan nodded and said: "I have no objection, I can arrange this matter!"
"Okay!" Tsar Huo immediately said happily: "Then I will go to Yangcheng to discuss this matter with the people over there during this time!"
Having said this, Emperor Huo extended an invitation to Chu Huan and asked, "Ah Huan, do you want to come with us?"
Chu Huan refused this time and said: "I won't go. I left a lot of things behind when I left Xiangjiang. Now I have to deal with them one by one slowly!"
After returning to his hometown twice before, Chu Huan no longer needs to return to his hometown frequently.
After hearing what Chu Huan said, Emperor Huo didn't mention anything more, but instead talked about the last thing.
"Ah Huan, there is one last thing. Ah Ting is getting married to Ling Ling next month. You must attend then!"
Huo Zhenting will officially marry the most beautiful Hong Kong sister Zhu Lingling this year.
"That's for sure. It's time for everyone to have a good time!" Chu Huan said with a smile.
Although this marriage ended in breakup in another time and space, it is undeniable that the wedding between Huo Zhenting and Zhu Lingling shocked the whole of Hong Kong.
After talking about this matter, the conversation between Chu Huan and Huo Shahuang was over. Huo Shahuang originally wanted to keep Chu Huan at home for dinner, but Chu Huan thought that he had a Vigna there.
As for Li, she declined Tsar Huo's invitation.
After leaving Huo Tsarhuang's home, Chu Huan took a bus back to No. 12 Mount Galley Road.
Vignali, who had just finished exercising, had beads of sweat dripping down her hair, giving her a wild beauty.
"Why didn't your confidante come today?"
After Vignali saw Chu Huan, she spoke with some emotion.
In the past few days when Chu Huan was resting, Vignali was already a little speechless about Chu Huan's life. She had even gotten used to it. It wouldn't matter if she didn't get used to it!
"Do you think they are just like you? They sit around doing nothing all day long, but they all have serious business, okay?"
Chu Huan teased Vignali directly.
Vignali didn't pay attention to Chu Huan's teasing at all, but said happily: "So the two of them won't come over tonight?"
Chu Huan nodded and said: "That's right!"
Vignali immediately said: "Great, I have been in Xiangjiang for several days. Why don't you take me to visit Xiangjiang? Even though there are many entertainment facilities in your manor here every day, I will still...
boring!"
To be honest, Chu Huan has never thought about how to deal with Vignali. Chu Huan naturally knows about Camorra's thoughts, but it is precisely because of this idea that Chu Huan is unwilling to talk to Wei
Something happened to Genali.
Although Vignali is very beautiful, at Chu Huan's level, he can get any girl no matter how beautiful she is.
To put it simply, beautiful girls are no longer a scarce resource here in Chu Huan.
A girl with trouble written all over her mind, Chu Huan didn't want anything to happen to her.
But since people are here, they can't just ignore them.
"Okay, I will take you to see the real Xiangjiang tonight!"
After receiving Chu Huan's affirmative reply, Vignali said happily: "Then wait for me, I'll go change clothes now!"
What Chu Huan didn't expect was that when he took Vignali out this time, a woman who had always been thinking about Chu Huan would see her...
