In the spacious and luxurious Peninsula Banquet Hall, celebrities and wealthy people from Hong Kong gather, but the focus here today is Kisaburo Ikeura, a banker from Japan and the president of Japan Industrial Bank!
But no one noticed that Kiura Kisaburo was looking at the entrance of the hall, as if he was waiting for someone to come.
"Mr. Chipu welcomes you to Xiangjiang. I wonder if Mr. Chipu will have time soon. We at Great Eagle Real Estate very much hope to have a good talk with Mr. Chipu!"
Luo Gingshi held a wine glass in his hand, with a smile on his face, and took the initiative to chat with Kiura Kisaburo.
With a polite smile on his face, Ikeura Kisaburo said: "Luo Sheng's Eagle Real Estate was already very popular when I was in Japan. It's really admirable."
Luo Yingshi smiled reservedly and said: "Mr. Chipu is too polite. If we can get Mr. Chipu's support, I believe our Eagle Real Estate will not let your bank down!"
Kiura Kisaburo looked at the entrance of the hall again, and then said a little absent-mindedly: "Our Industrial Bank also very much hopes to reach a cooperation with Luo Sheng's Eagle Real Estate, but this kind of matter still needs to be discussed in the long term."
Luo Yingshi was a little confused about Ikeura Kisaburo's behavior, but he still smiled and said: "This is natural."
Later, several wealthy businessmen from Xiangjiang took the initiative to talk to Ikeura Kisaburo, but they all noticed that Ikeura Kisaburo seemed a little absent-minded, as if he was waiting for someone to arrive.
But when these people looked at the situation at the scene, they didn't know what kind of person could make Kiura Kisaburo wait like this.
"Mr. Bao, will Director Chu really come?"
Kiura Kisaburo asked Bao Yugang beside him with some urgency.
At this time, Bao Yugang had a smile on his face. Just now, Kisaburo Ikeura announced that the Industrial Bank would not only continue to support Nihon Shipping, but would also increase its support for Nihon Shipping in the next year. Such
The decision was made to dispel all previous doubts about Yugang Bao within the Universal board of directors.
And Bao Yugang also successfully passed his first difficulty after entering 1978.
"Mr. Chipu, don't worry. Since Director Chu has promised me, he will definitely come. Just don't worry!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Chu Huan, who was wearing a black suit, and Cao Yunshang, who was wearing a white evening gown, walked into the banquet hall of the Peninsula.
Seeing Chu Huan coming, many celebrities in Xiangjiang showed surprised expressions. No one expected that Chu Huan would appear here at this time.
You must know that since Chu Huan announced those decisions on TV last year, Chu Huan has rarely appeared on such occasions. Even in various chamber of commerce activities at the end of last year, Chu Huan was rarely seen.
But he didn't expect that Chu Huan would appear on such an occasion today.
Chiura Kisaburo and Bao Yugang both had smiles on their faces. They took two quick steps to greet the arrival of Chu Huan and Cao Yunshang.
When everyone at the scene saw this scene, they knew why Kisaburo Ikeura looked absent-minded just now. It turned out that he was waiting for Chu Huan!
Luo Yingshi looked at the actions of Chiura Kisaburo and Bao Yugang, and felt a little uncomfortable in his heart. He saw that the people he needed to flatter were now actively flattering Chu Huan, whom he could have become friends with.
I always have the urge to slap myself in the face of the moon during the full moon.
"Director Chu, you are finally here. I thought you wouldn't come today!"
Kiura Kisaburo held Chu Huan's right hand tightly with both hands, and then preached with a smile on his face.
Chu Huan was able to come to the scene, which made Kiura Kisaburo very happy. After all, everyone inside and outside Xiangjiang now knew that Chu Huan was the number one person in Xiangjiang, and Chu Huan, the number one person in Xiangjiang, came to attend his welcome party. This was invisibly
This increased the influence of Kisaburo Ikeura and the Industrial Bank behind him.
Chu Huan smiled and said: "I promised Uncle Bao that I would come, and I will definitely come, but I don't know if I am late!"
"No, it came just in time!"
Kiura Kisaburo smiled and preached.
Surrounded by Kiura Kisaburo and Bao Yugang, Chu Huan and Cao Yunshang came to the center of the party together and became the well-deserved focus.
Not far away, Li Fuzhao looked at Chu Huan chatting and laughing with everyone there, and walked over with a relaxed expression.
"Director Chu, we haven't seen each other for a long time!"
Chu Huan showed a smile and said: "It turns out to be Li Weng. It's true that we haven't seen each other for some days, but I heard that Li Weng is currently busy with the unification of the four societies, so I don't want to disturb Li Weng!"
"There is a long way to go!" Li Fuzhao obviously didn't want to say anything more on this matter. He just smiled and asked Chu Huan: "I wonder if Director Chu has time, how about we have a chat?"
Chu Huan looked at Li Fuzhao's smile, felt something in his heart, and said with a smile: "Of course!"
Then Chu Huan asked Cao Yunshang to chat with Ikeura Kisaburo and Bao Yugang on his behalf, while he walked aside with Li Fuzhao. Many people in the banquet were paying attention to Chu Huan. At this time, he saw Chu Huan chatting with Ikeura Kisaburo and Bao Yugang.
After just a brief chat, he and Li Fuzhao chatted alone, and they all showed complicated looks.
Nowadays, Jiaku's desire to acquire Bank of East Asia has already become a hot topic in Hong Kong. At this time, Chu Huan suddenly started chatting with Li Fuzhao, the most outstanding member of the Li family. It was obvious that the two of them must be discussing about East Asia.
Bank matters.
Precisely because everyone had guessed it, some people turned their attention to Li Fushu, who looked a little livid on the other side.
It is funny to say that two brothers, Li Fushu and Li Fuzhao, appeared at the welcome dinner of Kiura Kisaburo at the same time, but they only chatted for a few words when they first met, and then they never communicated again.
It can be seen that the problems within the Li family are becoming more and more serious.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "Li Sheng, it seems that it will not be so simple to keep the operating rights of Bank of East Asia."
While Li Fushu was watching Chu Huan and Li Fuzhao chatting, Shen Bi walked up to Li Fushu.
Li Fushu saw Shen Bi next to him, put away his slightly gloomy expression, and said with a smile: "Mr. Shen, you don't have to say that. If Chu Huan's Jiaku enters the banking industry, HSBC will definitely be hit the hardest. !”
Shen Bi nodded calmly and said: "That's why we at HSBC chose to support Li Sheng. I think on this point, our HSBC and Li Sheng have the same appeal."
After finishing speaking, Shen Bi also set his sights on Chu Huan and Li Fuzhao in the distance, and said with a somewhat serious expression: "Just, Li Sheng, are you sure that Li Fuzhao does not have any shares of your Bank of East Asia in his hands? What if he also has some in his hands?" Regarding your Bank of East Asia stock, when the Bank of East Asia board of directors convenes in the future, I think the bargaining chip in your hand, Li Sheng, will be one or the other."
This is what Shen Bi is most worried about. Before this, Li Fushu had received the support of the Board of Directors of Bank of East Asia and the support of most shareholders. In addition, Xiangjiang shareholders have been looking forward to getting higher returns. The acquisition price, so although Chu Huan obtained the shares of the Jian family and the Feng family in Bank of East Asia at this time, in fact, the support rate was still not as good as that of the Li family.
But this balance is very delicate. If any of it is broken, unpredictable consequences may occur. That's why Shen Bi asked Li Fushu so seriously at this time.
Li Fushu was also a little worried at this time. If before, he could judge that his youngest brother should not have Bank of East Asia stocks, but seeing this situation now, Li Fushu was inevitably upset.
When Chu Huan and Li Fuzhao came together, it was obvious that there was no other possibility except to discuss the matter of Bank of East Asia.
"Li Sheng, it seems that you really need to seriously consider my previous proposal to you, otherwise the operating rights of Bank of East Asia will really not be judged at the Bank of East Asia's shareholders' meeting three days later."
Shen Bi preached to Li Fushu again.
Li Fushu fell into the situation between two men. After thinking for a while, he said: "Mr. Shen, I need to think about this matter carefully, and at the same time, I need to discuss it with the members of the board of directors!"
Shen Bi nodded and said, "Then I'll wait for your reply, Li Sheng!"
On the other side, Chu Huan and Li Fuzhao were indeed discussing matters regarding the Bank of East Asia.
"I had long thought that Chairman Chu would enter the banking industry, but I didn't expect that Chairman Chu would actually set his sights on Bank of East Asia!"
Li Fuzhao was holding a wine glass with a smile on his face.
Before meeting Chu Huan, Li Fuzhao had already clearly listed the chips in his hands and what he needed. After thinking about everything, Li Fuzhao concluded one thing, that is, Chu Huan was interested in him at this time. Want something.
Since Chu Huan wanted something from him, he would inevitably ask the lion to open his mouth!
"So, Li Weng wants to sell his Bank of East Asia shares to our Jiaku?"
Since Li Fuzhao found him on such an occasion, Chu Huan concluded that Li Fuzhao did have Bank of East Asia stocks in his hands!
Li Fuzhao smiled and shook his head and said: "Director Chu, who in the whole of Hong Kong doesn't know that Director Chu is bound to win the Bank of East Asia, but there is one thing that I think you, Director Chu, can also guess.
Like your previous business acquisition in Xiangjiang, the bank is probably a very difficult thing."
Chu Huan smiled bitterly and said: "I am tired of being famous. I never thought that one day, my own reputation would become my enemy!"
Li Fuzhao felt a little relieved when he saw Chu Huan's wry smile. Such Chu Huan was rare.
"To be honest, I think the entire Bank of East Asia shareholders actually hope that you, Director Chu, can join the Bank of East Asia and become a director of the Bank of East Asia, but they also don't want you, Director Chu, to privatize the Bank of East Asia like your other industries.
After all, this is one of the few opportunities where you can directly follow Director Chu to make money!"
No matter how low-key Chu Huan is at this time, everyone in the Xiangjiang business community still has a common understanding, that is, you can definitely make money by following Chu Huan.
First of all, Chu Huan is the number one person in Xiangjiang, and Jiaku is the number one consortium in Xiangjiang. Having such a person join Bank of East Asia will definitely increase the confidence of shareholders in Bank of East Asia, and at the same time, it will also increase the trust of depositors in Bank of East Asia.
Secondly, with Chu Huan's investment, Bank of East Asia can better develop more business in Hong Kong, which also increases Bank of East Asia's income.
So no one is willing to sell their shares in Bank of East Asia. This is a long-term thing.
"But I can guarantee that with the support of the stocks in my hand, Director Chu will definitely be able to sit on the position of chairman of the board of directors of the Bank of East Asia. When the time comes, Director Chu, you can still make bold moves to build the Bank of East Asia into what you want. Isn't that very good?
Okay?"
Li Fuzhao persuaded seriously.
Chu Huan looked at Li Fuzhao and asked: "Li Weng is willing to help, I think he must want to get something, right?"
Li Fuzhao did not deny it and said directly: "I still very much hope that Chairman Chu can allow Jiahu Textile to be listed on the Far East Association, and I believe that as long as Jiahu Textile is listed on the Far East Association, it will immediately become one of the 20 blue chip stocks in Hong Kong, and even
Entering one of the top three companies with the highest market value in Xiangjiang!"
This was Li Fuzhao's wishful thinking. He used his shares in the Bank of East Asia to support Chu Huan to become the chairman of the board of directors of the Bank of East Asia, and then used this to invite a company under the name of Chu Huan Jiaku to be listed on the Far East Association.
He used Ku's name to increase his influence in the Four Conferences.
He chose Jiahu Textile because Li Fuzhao had calculated that the bargaining chip in his hand could only satisfy Chu Huan's demand for Jiahu Textile to be listed on the market. However, this was enough. Qingjin Clothing, a subsidiary of Jiahu Textile, has grown into a global brand of clothing.
This is almost an impossible miracle in Xiangjiang.
After entering the 1970s, Xiangjiang's garment industry has still become one of the important economic pillars of Xiangjiang, and its global export share is only second to Italy.
But in another time and space, Italy had top luxury clothing brands such as Prada and Gucci, but Xiangjiang did not.
To put it bluntly, Xiangjiang is more like a foundry and has no core competitiveness of its own at all.
But now Qingjin Clothing's brand fashion, although not a top luxury product, has become the most important mid-level brand in the world.
To put it simply, fashion at this time is like Uniqlo in Japan in later generations!
Have a bigger market.
Therefore, even if Jiahu Textile can be listed in the Far East Association, it is already a very good thing for Li Fuzhao.
After listening to Li Fuzhao's words, Chu Huan smiled easily and said: "Thank you Li Weng for your support, but our Jiaku development has strict plans. Since Jiahu Textile has been delisted, there is no plan to relist it.
So I’m afraid there’s no way for both of us to reach a consensus on this matter!”
After finishing speaking, Chu Huan nodded to Li Fuzhao, and then walked away under Li Fuzhao's surprised gaze.
"How was it?" Cao Yunshang asked Chu Huan after Chu Huan returned to Cao Yunshang.
"Everyone has regarded Jiaku's acquisition of Bank of East Asia as a capital carnival, and everyone wants to get a share of it. It seems that it is impossible to acquire Bank of East Asia at this time!"
Chu Huan did not look a little decadent because of this result, but instead had a smile on his face.
Cao Yunshang, who knew Chu Huan well, saw Chu Huan's expression and asked curiously: "Do you have other plans?"
However, Chu Huan did not set his eyes on Cao Yunshang, but on another person at the banquet.
Zhang Mingyi, President of Xiangjiang Overseas Trust Bank!
When Chu Huan saw Zhang Mingyi, he remembered that he hadn't seen him for a long time.
But meeting Zhang Mingyi was not important. What was important was that after meeting Zhang Mingyi, Chu Huan remembered the Hong Kong banking crisis that occurred in Hong Kong in the mid-1980s.
"Originally, I just wanted a Bank of East Asia or a Far Eastern Bank. Since no one is willing, we can only do it in one pot!"
After Chu Huan saw Zhang Mingyi, he thought silently.
Although this timeline will be longer, it is not important. We can take advantage of this opportunity to lay out the entire financial industry in Hong Kong.
"Ah Huan, it seems that your conversation with Li Fuzhao did not go very smoothly!" At this time, Bao Yu just walked up to Chu Huan with a cheerful face.
The global shipping crisis has been resolved. For Bao Yugang, he has reason to be happy today.
"There is no other way. Now that people see it as a guiding light, we can only stop it first!" Chu Huan said calmly.
Bao Yugang's expression was stagnant and he asked: "Ah Huan, this is different from your previous style!"
Chu Huan spread his hands and said helplessly: "Uncle Bao, you have also seen that whether it is the directors of Bank of East Asia or the shareholders who hold Bank of East Asia, they are actually waiting to cut my flesh. Although
This amount of money is nothing to me, but just giving it out for free is inappropriate no matter how you calculate it!"
Bao Yugang took a deep look at Chu Huan. If someone else had said this, Bao Yugang would have believed it, but now Bao Yugang felt that it was a bit untrue no matter how he thought about it.
Is Chu Huan really planning to give up on this matter?
Bao Yugang couldn't believe it.
"Ah Huan, do you have other ideas?"
Chu Huan immediately shook his head and said: "No, Alde Commercial Bank Xiangjiang Branch will be listed next month anyway, so it is better to run the Alde Commercial Bank Xiangjiang Branch with all its strength.
In fact, I have been thinking about this matter in the past few days. Although acquiring a local bank in Xiangjiang will be of great help to Alder Commercial Bank in expanding its business in Xiangjiang, it will also easily cause a waste of resources. No matter how you calculate it, the gain outweighs the loss!"
Although what he said was reasonable, Bao Yugang still couldn't completely believe what Chu Huan said!
This is really very different from Chu Huan in the past.
However, Bao Yugang did not continue to ask further questions. After all, this was Chu Huan's own matter. Now that Chu Huan has said this, it shows that Chu Huan does not want more people to know his true intentions. If he asks more questions,
It’s just a simple conversation!
"Ah Huan, there is something I want to discuss with you in detail!"
Although he could not ask Chu Huan about his true intentions towards Bank of East Asia, Bao Yugang still had other things he wanted to discuss with Chu Huan.
Chu Huan said: "Uncle Bao, tell me!"
Bao Yugang looked around and saw that there was no one else around them, so he said: "I hope that Alde Commercial Bank can provide me with a loan at some time in the future!"
Chu Huan looked at Bao Yugang, he was really full of energy. He had just solved the crisis around the world, and now he had set his sights on Wharf.
Chu Huan and Bao Yugang have completed the Wharf stock transaction, but because the two parties used multiple accounts to conduct the transaction, this matter is still confidential until now.
It has to be said that the Hong Kong securities market at this time is still not perfect enough. Whether it is the current transaction between Chu Huan and Bao Yugang, or the transaction between Li Jiacheng and Bao Yugang on Wharf stocks in another time and space, in the initial stage
None of them were discovered by Jardine Matheson, the major shareholder of Wharf.
Abandoning the boat and landing is the thing that Bao Yugang values the most after experiencing the current incident. It can even be said that in Bao Yugang's heart, this is already an important strategic change that affects the life and death of the world.
.
Therefore, Bao Yugang must acquire Wharf, because now in Hong Kong, there is only Wharf that can accommodate the size of Global and there are also companies that may be acquired.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! So at this time Bao Yugang has understood that for him, the acquisition of Wharf is not a simple acquisition measured by normal income, but an acquisition that must be completed
acquisition.
As one of the real estate wings of Jardine Matheson in Hong Kong, Wharf naturally does not want to give up Wharf, so it will definitely be an earth-shattering fight.
In the final analysis, if Bao Yugang wants to successfully win the Wharf, he will need a huge amount of cash.
So at this time, Bao Yugang took precautions and told Chu Huan about this matter in advance.
"No problem, when Uncle Bao tells me a number, I will ask Alde Commercial Bank to prepare it!"
Chu Huan did not refuse Bao Yugang's request, and even welcomed Bao Yugang to borrow money from Alder Commercial Bank.
First of all, Bao Yugang's acquisition of Wharf was a sensational acquisition in Hong Kong and even the entire Southeast Asia. If Alde Commercial Bank provides a loan to Bao Yugang, it will naturally promote Alde Commercial Bank's expansion in Hong Kong and Southeast Asia.
of influence.
Secondly, what people who open a bank are most afraid of is lending money to people who are unable to repay, and this problem definitely does not exist for Bao Yugang.
Since there is no problem with Bao Yugang's repayment ability, this is a very cost-effective business for Alder Commercial Bank, and there is no reason to refuse!
Bao Yu just received a positive reply from Chu Huan, and he was also smiling and said: "We at Universal will remember your help this time, Ah Huan!"
Chu Huan smiled and said, "Uncle Bao is so polite!"
"Director Chu, Mr. Bao, what are you two talking about so happily?"
At this time, Chiura Kisaburo also came over, with a smile on his face, and asked Chu Huan and Bao Yugang.
Bao Yugang smiled and said: "Nothing, I just want to thank Ah Huan again for coming to this banquet today!"
Kiura Kisaburo smiled and said: "Dr. Chu, Mr. Bao, I was deeply touched when I came to Xiangjiang this time. I found that Xiangjiang is the same as Japan before. It is full of vitality. I believe that Xiangjiang will definitely become a very important financial center in the world in the future!"
Our bank is also very much looking forward to having more cooperation opportunities with you two in the future!”
Bao Yugang smiled and said: "This is natural."
Chu Huan also nodded.
After the two parties chatted for a while, Chu Huan also felt that his time here was almost up, so he took Cao Yunshang's hand and said goodbye to Bao Yugang and Ikeura Kisaburo.
Ikeura Kisaburo said to Chu Huan seriously: "Director Chu, as the president of Japan Industrial Bank, I sincerely invite Director Chu to come to our country again when he has time. Then we can have a better chat!"
"There is a chance!" Chu Huan smiled and shook hands with Kiura Kisaburo, and then left the banquet.
.
"Let Liu Zhiyuan and Chen Tao stop their acquisition of Bank of East Asia stocks tomorrow!" Chu Huan and Cao Yunshang said while sitting in the car.
Although Chu Huan and Cao Yunshang had had a brief exchange on the acquisition of Bank of East Asia before, they were still a little surprised when they heard that Chu Huan was really planning to stop acquiring Bank of East Asia's shares in the stock market.
"Are you really planning to give up just like that?"
Chu Huan shook his head and said: "I'm not giving up. Now the economy in Xiangjiang is doing well, and ordinary people have spare money in their hands. In addition, the Li family is competing with us. Now we want to get more Bank of East Asia shares in the stock market. It's obvious.
This is already an unlikely thing, unless we increase the acquisition price regardless of costs.
I originally thought so before, but now I think there is a better way, so I gave up this link for now!"
Cao Yunshang couldn't help but asked curiously: "Is there any other good way?"
Chu Huan: "..."
Until the two of them returned to No. 12 Mount Caleb Road, Chu Huan had not finished telling Cao Yunshang part of his plan, but even so, Cao Yunshang couldn't help but marvel after hearing Chu Huan's plan.
"If you really succeed, then Jiaku will definitely become the most powerful group in the banking industry in Hong Kong in the future!"
Chu Huan nodded and said: "But this matter needs to be kept secret. It can no longer be as big a fanfare as the Bank of East Asia and the Far East Bank did before, so that people can be prepared!"
Cao Yunshang nodded and said: "Actually, this is also something I am thinking about now, because our success in Xiangjiang has caused us to have an unconscious mentality of looking down on many Xiangjiang businessmen. I think this is very
It’s not good, it can easily breed our pride, and in business operations, such emotions are very undesirable!”
Chu Huan also nodded in agreement with Cao Yunshang's remarks. This was indeed the true mentality shown by him and Cao Yunshang at a certain moment.
In their view, as long as they have sufficient funds, they can do whatever they want in Xiangjiang's capital market. But now it seems that sometimes, although funds are still omnipotent, when you have to consider the cost, problems arise.
Already.
"But fortunately, there is no loss for us now. We just need to be more careful when continuing this plan!" Chu Huan said with a smile.
