677, The Wharf takeover battle disrupted by Chu Huan
"Hello, grandma, my name is Sumitomo Ryoko. This is a gift I brought to you in Japan. I hope you like it and I will trouble you to take care of it in the future."
At No. 12 Mount Caleb Road, Sumitomo Ryoko, who had arrived in Xiangjiang, was currently introducing himself to the Chu Huan family, accompanied by his mother.
And the Cantonese she spoke was also very pure, which was completely different from the awkward Cantonese Chu Huan heard from her when he met her a few months ago.
The entire Chu family, including Cao Yunshang's Cao family, Mrs. Wu's side, and even Chu Duanqing and Zhong Xiaoqing, each and every one of them, Sumitomo Ryoko recognized them at the first sight and called them very correctly.
.
The whole family was also surprised by the child's politeness. Zeng Hong looked at his ignorant son and suddenly seemed to be waiting for Chen Xincheng to come back and take him to open a new trumpet and practice!
After saying hello, Sumitomo Ryoko came to Chu Huan and Cao Yunshang. With a bright but distant smile on his face, he talked to Chu Huan.
"Brother Chu, when I came to Xiangjiang, my uncle specially told me that I hope brother Chu can go to Japan when he has time. He still has many things that he wants to have a good chat with you about!"
Then he said to Cao Yunshang: "Hello, sister-in-law, I heard that you were pregnant when I came here. These are some nutritional supplements that my mother specially bought in Japan. I hope they can help your body!"
Chu Huan and Cao Yunshang looked at each other and smiled, and then chatted casually with Sumitomo Ryoko. Chu Huan did not get too involved in the reception of their mother and son, but left this matter to Chu Duanqing.
Although Zeng Hong was pampered and well-off in Xiangjiang during this period, compared with Sumitomo Ryouko and his daughter, there was still a gap in momentum. On the contrary, Chu Duanqing did not have any problems in this regard.
After Sumitomo Ryoko and her daughter came to Xiangjiang, Chu Huan followed the previous agreement and gave them the villa near Mrs. Wu's villa in the middle of the mountain, which would be their residence in Xiangjiang from now on.
After the news of the collapse of Jiayi TV Station heated up in Xiangjiang for a few days, it became less popular. After all, Jiayi TV Station itself is a TV station that does not attract much attention.
When the time comes in September, big news breaks out again in the business community of Xiangjiang.
Global Shipping Chairman Bao Yugang announced through "True News" that he and his family now hold 15% to 20% of Wharf's shares and have become Wharf's largest shareholder.
But at the same time, Bao Yugang also announced that he had no intention to buy more Wharf shares!
As soon as this news came out, Xiangjiang was immediately shocked.
As the world's shipping king, Bao Yugang has all his assets at sea. Now he spent a lot of money to acquire Wharf's shares and became the largest shareholder of Wharf.
It's hard not to think too much about a situation like this.
Is Bao Yugang really going to enter the real estate industry in Xiangjiang?
However, not many people doubted Bao Yugang's announcement that he had no intention of buying more Wharf stocks.
The current share price of Wharf is 49 Hong Kong dollars per share, but after Bao Yugang's statement, there is no news of more large-scale acquisitions of Wharf shares in the market. At the same time, the share price of Wharf is also slowly falling. These
Things have proven that this thing should be true.
"This should be Bao Yugang looking for a way out for his global shipping!"
Many people think so. After all, the price of oil in the world is becoming more and more unstable. Coupled with changes in the international situation, the confrontation between North America and the Soviet Union, leading to the blockade of shipping routes and other reasons, regarding the shipping industry
There is widespread news that development is becoming more and more difficult.
Following Bao Yugang's statement, a few days later the Wharf board of directors invited Bao Yugang and Bao Yugang's second son-in-law Wu Guangzheng to join the Wharf board of directors.
Although Bao Yugang is the largest shareholder of Wharf, the chairman of the board of directors of Wharf is still Niubijian of Jardine Matheson!
After some time, Wharf's stock price dropped from 49 Hong Kong dollars to 21 Hong Kong dollars per share, and stabilized. This also made more people think that Bao Yugang really did not intend to continue to acquire Wharf shares.
"It seems that the outcome of this war will not come until next year!"
On the rooftop of the main building of the Chu family manor at No. 12 Mount Caleb Road, Chu Huan and Cao Yunshang were sitting there, basking in the sun and chatting.
Regarding Cao Yunshang's analysis, Chu Huan nodded slightly and said: "It should be like this. The acquisition of Wharf is not a small matter. It requires Bao Yugang's step-by-step testing, otherwise even if Bao Yugang finally becomes
The chairman of Wharf will also make him pay a huge price!"
"So you are really planning to help the Charter King in this matter?"
Cao Yunshang held a cup of hot milk in her hand, looked at Chu Huan with a smile, and asked.
Chu Huan nodded and said: "I promised the Charter King before, and in this matter, helping the Charter King is actually helping ourselves!"
Cao Yunshang leaned on the recliner, put the milk aside, and said with some sigh: "You should know how big the sensation and the resistance it will cause if you really do this.
How old is it?"
Chu Huan also followed Cao Yunshang's example and leaned on the sofa, letting the warm eyes shine on her body, and then said with a smile.
"No matter how bumpy the road ahead is, if you try, you have a 50% chance of success, but if you don't try, there is really no hope. And our winning rate is not only a 50% chance. With Ma Jizu and these few
After years of hard work in England, our chances are still very good!"
Cao Yunshang nodded and said: "If this is the case, then Yihe must discover Bao Yugang's plan earlier. Only in this way, in order to prevent Wharf from being controlled by Bao Yugang
If we have more shares, we can only mobilize a large amount of cash to acquire Wharf shares!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Gu Chengxi walked up and saw Cao Yunshang's slightly bulging belly, with envy in his eyes.
"How's it going? Has the reaction been particularly big recently?"
Gu Chenxi walked to Cao Yunshang's side, squatted down, and then asked Cao Yunshang in a low voice.
Two days ago, Cao Yunshang suddenly had pregnancy complications, which caused chaos in the family.
Cao Yunshang smiled and said: "No, it's already very good!"
"By the way, I heard from Brother Huan before that you want to eat the eight-star biscuits from the bakery. I have already given them to grandma. Don't forget to eat them when you get down!"
Gu Chengxi reminded Cao Yunshang.
Cao Yunshang immediately smiled and said: "Great, we will finish the eight-star biscuits at home soon. I told Han Yang and others to buy some before!"
After the two chatted for a while, Gu Chengxi sat on the other side of Chu Huan and asked Chu Huan: "Brother Huan, why did you ask me to come over?"
Chu Huan nodded and said: "Find a few people who are not related to your company and spread the news that Bao Yugang has not really given up the plan to acquire Wharf. He now not only wants to become the largest shareholder of Wharf
, and also become the chairman of the Wharf board of directors!”
Gu Chengxi, who had just sat down, was shocked by Chu Huan's news and sat up with a surprised expression.
Like many people, as Wharf's stock price fell and stabilized, she also believed that Bao Yugang really had no idea to continue to acquire more Wharf shares.
But now Chu Huan told himself that Bao Yugang's acquisition of Wharf was not over, it had just changed from overt to covert.
If this is the case, as soon as this news comes out, Wharf's stock price will definitely rise immediately.
If ordinary investors heard this news, they would probably immediately buy Wharf shares, wait for the Wharf share price to appreciate, and then sell it at the highest point they think it is, thereby making a huge fortune.
However, Gu Chengxi understood that Chu Huan did not need to do this at all. According to the size of Jiaku, if Chu Huan bought Wharf's shares, it would be for the purpose of acquiring Wharf.
However, if Chu Huan wanted to acquire Wharf, then he should not let this matter leak out, but should continue to acquire Wharf's shares secretly, right?
I can’t understand!
But when Gu Chengxi saw that Chu Huan didn't explain the matter, he stopped asking and said, "Okay, I will arrange this matter myself and won't let anyone know."
Chu Huan nodded with satisfaction. He did not explain anything to Gu Chengxi. There was no need to explain anything like this.
"Okay, you two, let's chat. I have some things to go to the company. Cheng Xi shouldn't go back tonight, just stay here!"
Chu Huan stood up and left the balcony, leaving Gu Chengxi and Cao Yunshang to chat.
After putting on his casual clothes, Chu Huan took a car to the company. Xu Yi was already waiting in Chu Huan's office.
"Boss, the returns from the North American stock market have been calculated!"
When Chu Huan went to North America in the first half of this year, he decided on two things. He concentrated part of the company's financial resources to purchase the Dow Jones Index, totaling US$1.9 billion.
In June of this year, the Dow Jones Index rose to 845 points and everything was sold off because Chu Huan used ten times the leverage. Finally, after excluding commissions, taxes and other issues, Chu Huan obtained an income of 1.35 billion US dollars, which was the same as what Chu Huan had expected before.
The estimate is about the same.
"Now this fund has joined the funds from Xiangjiang and entered the foreign exchange market!"
Xu Yi continued to preach.
These two things had already been judged, so Chu Huan was not very surprised by the income. He just nodded and said: "Just continue according to the plan!"
Xu Yi nodded, and then continued: "Shu Han also called me. The first batch of people they recruited from Shenghai Art Studio will arrive in Xiangjiang in the next two days. I have already informed him about this."
Mr. Zhong from Fantasy Animation asked him to arrange apartments for those people!"
It is not an easy thing to bring people from your hometown to come to Xiangjiang at this time. In fact, the status of people in Xiangjiang is still very easy to solve. Whether it is to issue them a work visa or to come quietly, as long as they arrive in Xiangjiang, according to the
Xiangjiang's resistance policy allows these people to obtain Xiangjiang ID cards.
The real difficulty is getting these people to leave Shenghai.
Nowadays, Xiangjiang is still very attractive to people from my hometown, but these people at Shenghai Art Studio are different from Lin Feng and others.
Although Lin Feng and others are also concerned, they do not have jobs themselves. In other words, they can still give it a try in Xiangjiang, but they definitely have no chance in their hometown.
But these people at Shenghai Art Studio are different. They all have formal jobs, and the Shenghai Art Studio now is not the Shenghai Art Studio in a few years. The workers' treatment is still very good.
, In addition, these people are bringing their families with them. If we want them to come to Xiangjiang with peace of mind, we must solve their family problems.
In addition, Chu Huan did not want to have any bad relations with some units in his hometown because of this incident, so in the end, after negotiation, Wu Shuhan came forward to donate 500,000 to Shenghai Art Studio, and Shenghai Art Production
Only then did the studio agree to release him under formal terms.
This will prevent those people from having some bad situations happen to their families in their hometown after they come to Xiangjiang.
Of course, if these people perform well enough in fantasy animation, they can be assigned an apartment when the five-year period is up, and then they can bring their families to Xiangjiang.
Of course, during this process, if someone wants to bring their family members to Xiangjiang, the company will also provide some help.
"Where are those experts?" Chu Huan asked Xu Yi.
This time, Xu Yi and Chen Xincheng went to their hometown, firstly to deal with the painters of Shenghai Art Studio, and secondly to invite more historians to come to Xiangjiang to work on "That Rabbit That Year"
Prepare.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! The experts in this period were still very technical, and there was not such a big gap between them and the common people.
Unlike those so-called experts in later generations who can say such unworldly things as renting out extra houses and cars, or running Didi to make extra money.
Xu Yi said: "Shu Han has also taken care of this. There are a total of 37 experts, and they will all arrive in Xiangjiang on the right track!"
Chu Huan smiled and said: "It seems that Shu Han's results this time are still very gratifying!"
Xu Yi nodded and said: "That's true. It seems that your decision to let Shu Han take charge of the business in your hometown is very correct."
"I know it without you flattering me!" Chu Huan said with a smile: "How are Lin Feng and Qin Peng doing in their hometown?"
Xu Yi said helplessly: "Their affairs are a bit complicated. First of all, there is no so-called investment company in my hometown, so in the end, after discussing with Shu Han, Mr. Lin and Mr. Qin, I decided to start with the office.
Activities were carried out in the name of my hometown.
Secondly, Shu Han and I believe that we should invest in places like Beijing, Shenghai, and Yangcheng. After all, these places are big cities in our hometown. If the development of our hometown is as predicted by your boss,
We all believe that these cities will definitely have great development potential.
However, Mr. Lin and Mr. Qin are more inclined to look for investment partners in the inland cities of their hometowns. This is obviously not in line with the laws of market development. Even if those inland cities develop in the future, it will
It should be decades later."
After listening to Xu Yi's report, Chu Huan just smiled slightly and said, "Did you two fail to convince them?"
Xu Yi nodded helplessly and said: "That's it, Mr. Lin and Mr. Qin are very firm about this decision. No matter how Shu Han and I try to persuade them, they just agree that they can put the office
To Shenghai, it’s just a brand, they still have to go to inland cities to look for more investment opportunities!”
Chu Huan smiled even happier and said: "It's good. This shows that the two of them have not forgotten their original intentions!"
"But boss..." Xu Yi still couldn't accept the decision of Lin Feng and Qin Peng, and said: "Let's put aside the fact that the inland cities in our hometown will definitely not be able to catch up with the coastal cities in future development.
In terms of the objective laws of the city, let’s talk about the situation in my hometown. Although the policies in my hometown have changed, judging from the materials Shu Han sends back every week.
Such changes are more due to the decisions of certain people, and the overall environment in my hometown has not changed much. And according to the company's analysis, even if such changes will continue, according to history
According to the laws of development.
Such a change is definitely a long-term matter. The most important thing is that coastal cities are the cities with the most convenient communication with the outside world. Their development speed is definitely the fastest. Compared with coastal cities, the development speed of inland cities is slower than that of coastal cities.
I think the difference is at least two orders of magnitude. Under such circumstances, it may take twenty or thirty years to see returns from investing this investment in inland cities."
Chu Huan nodded, expressing his agreement with Xu Yi's statement, and said: "Of course I know these things, and I think you have also told the two of them these considerations, right?"
Xu Yi nodded and said: "That's right. After Mr. Lin and Mr. Qin returned to their hometown, Shu Han met with them several times. In the last meeting, he reminded them many times of the consequences of doing so."
Chu Huan said: "Actually, if you calculate it according to business logic, you and Shu Han are right to worry..."
The development situation of my hometown is as analyzed by Xu Yi and others. There is no doubt that the development speed of coastal cities is far faster than that of inland cities. Moreover, the role played by the vast majority of capital in the world is not to promote economic development.
The role they play is that of picking peaches.
When the development of coastal cities reaches a certain bottleneck, the development of inland cities may have just started. At this time, powerful capital will enter the city and seek more development, but the reason for their doing so is not
To promote the local economy, it is because the local economy has created an environment suitable for their investment.
Coupled with some preferential policies, after foreign capital enters a local city, it is more likely to swallow up local capital. The big fish eats the small fish, and the small fish eats the small fish, and the cycle continues.
Of course, there will also be some different situations happening here, which is the engulfment of the investment industry by local communities.
This is why it is said that the capital market is actually a battlefield without smoke.
"The reason why Lin Feng and Qin Peng insist on choosing inland cities for priority investment is that they didn't use your business logic to plan this matter at all!"
Chu Huan gave an explanation that Xu Yi had never understood.
"Boss, what do you mean..."
Chu Huan did not explain anything further to Xu Yi, because even if he explained it, he would not be able to understand it according to Xu Yi's own business logic.
Xu Yi, Wu Shuhan and everyone in Jiaku all understand that investing in coastal cities in their hometown is definitely the most suitable investment at this time. In fact, Lin Feng and Qin Peng also understand this truth very well.
However, the two of them, or rather their team of five, still chose inland cities as the main battlefield for their investment, considering more based on their own circumstances.
The past few years of following Chu Huan have given Lin Feng and Qin Peng a certain business vision. They also know that the development of coastal cities must be faster than that of inland cities, just like the development of cities must be faster.
It's better than in the village, the development in the mountains is the same.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! As former villagers, they naturally understand that there is no absolute fairness in this world. After some people retire, they return to themselves
In the city where you are located, you can work in state-owned units or even government departments.
But what about those people in villages, counties, and inland cities?
There are actually not that many options for them to choose.
Some people may even be able to face the earth with their backs to the sky for the rest of their lives. Is it because their abilities are not as good as those who have succeeded?
no!
Just because they have no other choice.
Now what Lin Feng and Qin Peng want to do is actually to give these people more choices, so they choose to return to their hometowns to invest. The primary purpose is not to see the return rate of this investment, but because they now have the ability.
I just want to do what I can for the brothers who were like them.
Xu Yi cannot understand such an idea!
In fact, Chu Huan did not fully understand this approach, but this did not prevent Chu Huan from supporting them in doing this.
Because this level of investment is really just a casual matter for Chu Huan, and Chu Huan also thinks that he can afford to wait for this time!
"Don't argue with Lin Feng, Qin Peng and the others about this matter. Just do it according to their ideas. In addition, tell Lin Feng and the others that there is no need to put the office in Shenghai, let them
Let’s do what they want to do under the title of office first, and I will find a suitable headquarters for them next year!”
Chu Huan preached to Xu Yi like this.
In my future hometown, where will it be a private paradise?
Pengcheng!
The place chosen by Chu Huan, Lin Feng, Qin Peng and others is actually Pengcheng, but the development of Pengcheng will not really start until next year.
Moreover, given the current situation in their hometown, Lin Feng and Qin Peng actually can't invest much. They are more familiar with the situation in their hometown.
Seeing that Chu Huan had already decided, Xu knew that this matter could not be changed, so he had no choice but to say: "I understand, I will tell Mr. Lin and Mr. Qin about this matter!"
Chu Huan smiled and nodded, saying: "Okay!"
.
Just after mid-September, when everyone was about to forget that Bao Yu had just become the majority shareholder of Wharf, a piece of news suddenly spread on the market.
That is, Bao Yugang did not really want to give up the Wharf acquisition plan, but understood that acquiring Wharf now was not the best opportunity, so he used a trick to retreat and made a clear statement that he would no longer acquire Wharf.
Wharf's stocks, but in fact it has been secretly acquiring Wharf's stocks.
Its purpose is to truly acquire this British-owned company located in the core development hinterland of East Tsim Sha Tsui into Bao's Industry.
As soon as this news came out, the whole of Hong Kong was instantly shocked.
"Who said that? Who leaked this news?"
At the Global Shipping Headquarters, Bao Yugang lost his temper rarely at this time. The two sons-in-law, Su Haiwen and Wu Guangzheng, who were sitting opposite him, were silent and a little at a loss.
Finally, Wu Guangzheng spoke up and said: "Dad, this matter suddenly spread in Xiangjiang. I have asked many people to ask, and now there is no way to find out who the source of the news is!"
Su Haiwen said: "We are guessing who is the person who did this. If we can know who has benefited the most from this matter, we can guess who this person is with a high probability!"
After talking about this, Su Haiwen said helplessly: "But judging from the current situation, it is impossible to guess who will benefit from this matter!"
Wu Guangzheng couldn't help but asked: "Is there someone who wants to drive up Wharf's stock price?"
Nowadays, the two major shareholders of Wharf, Yihe and Bao Yugang, are unlikely to give up Wharf, which means that no one will choose to enter this battlefield to compete with them for Wharf's stocks at this time, so only
There is only one explanation left.
That is, someone wants to drive up the share price of Wharf and then sell it to make a profit for themselves!
You know, in order to reduce the capital investment in the acquisition of Wharf, Bao Yugang did not choose to continue to secretly acquire Wharf's shares immediately after announcing that he had become the major shareholder of Wharf. Instead, he really waited, waiting for Wharf
The stock price of the warehouse returns to normal, and then it is slowly absorbed, and the general attack will be launched next year.
But now that this news has leaked out, it is bound to cause the Wharf stock price, which has just dropped to the normal stock price, to continue to soar. Then all what Bao Yugang did before will be in vain!
"I don't care what the person who released this news wants to do, the most important thing now is how to reply to this rumor?"
Bao Yugang said angrily that he must not cause any trouble at this time, otherwise, it is very likely that all his previous plans will fall apart!
Wu Guangzheng said: "I think we should issue a statement again now to suppress the influence of this matter first!"
Bao Yu just nodded, now it seems that this is the only way.
At this moment, the phone on Bao Yugang's desk rang. After Bao Yugang answered it, he learned that it was Niubijian from Yihe...
