On this day, the sky was sunny and clear, the sea off Saigon, Hong Kong was calm, and occasionally a few seagulls flew over.
A luxurious yacht floated quietly on the sea, and the deck was full of people and very lively.
These people were the top bigwigs in Xiangjiang who accepted Chu Huan's invitation. When these people arrived at Saigon Pier and saw other people boarding the ship one after another, they all showed shocked expressions.
Although everyone knew that with such a formal invitation from Chu Huan, something big must have happened, but when they saw these people, they realized that they had underestimated Chu Huan's determination. Gathering a group of them together would not
Maybe it's a small thing.
But these people did not eagerly ask Chu Huan about his intentions after getting on the boat. Instead, they chatted casually among themselves, waiting for the yacht to dock on the sea and stop moving forward.
Talents all looked at Chu Huan to know the reason why Chu Huan called everyone together this time.
"Ah Huan, there are no outsiders here. Everyone who can be invited by you has cooperated more or less. Now you should tell me the reason why you invited us all here today, right?"
At this time, Emperor Huo Tsar opened his mouth to preach.
In fact, among the people on the ship, Emperor Huo was not the oldest, nor the most prestigious.
Among the people on the ship, the oldest and most prestigious one is Mr. He.
However, this time there were only four people invited by Chu Huan to Haojiang, Mr. He, Mo Qianqi, Yue Daoqi, and Haojiang gambling king He Hongshen.
Mr. He, Mo Qianqi, and Yue Daoqi were able to rush to Xiangjiang as soon as possible after receiving Chu Huan's invitation letter. This actually showed Chu Huan's status in Hong Kong and Macao at this time.
But because they were in Xiangjiang, Mr. He did not speak immediately.
Emperor Huo asked, and everyone on the boat looked at Chu Huan. They already had doubts in their hearts. Now that Emperor Huo has spoken, they have nothing to be reserved about!
Chu Huan was holding a red wine glass in his hand. He did not answer Huo Tsarhuang's words immediately, but asked: "Everyone, I have a question I want to ask you!"
Guo Desheng laughed and said: "Ah Huan, if you have any questions, just ask them. Anyway, everyone has come out with you today. You make the decision today!"
Others echoed one after another. They really wanted to know what Chu Huan was thinking as soon as possible, but given their status and status, they still had to say what should be said in the situation.
Chu Huan smiled again and said: "I would like to ask everyone, what do you think when facing Jiaku in Xiangjiang?"
As soon as this question came out, everyone was silent. No one expected that Chu Huan would ask this question. However, Mr. He, Mo Qianqi, and Yue Daoqi acted as if the old gods were there. Their investment in Xiangjiang was very large.
less, more assets still come from Haojiang, so how Jiaku is in Xiangjiang has nothing to do with them!
However, He Hongshen, who is also from Haojiang, is a little curious about this issue. Outsiders only know He Hongshen's status as the gambling king in Haojiang, but they have never thought that He Hongshen actually has a lot of real estate investments in Xiangjiang.
Everyone looked at each other, and in the end it was Guo Desheng who answered the question.
Huo Tsarhuang had rarely participated in real estate investment in Xiangjiang at this time, and other industries were also very low-key, so the important task of answering the question now fell to Guo Desheng, who was the oldest besides Huo Tsarhuang.
"What can you think of? I feel powerless!"
Because everyone present was basically of the same level, Guo Desheng seemed to be casual at this time.
The feeling of powerlessness also expresses the feeling that Jiaku gave to other business leaders in Xiangjiang at this time.
"Your Jiaku is like a super consortium that doesn't have to consider costs. To put it bluntly, there is no property that you, Ah Huan, can't get in Xiangjiang. The companies you like will fall to you sooner or later.
Every time we compete with you for land bidding, we have to raise our psychological price!"
Zheng Yutong also spoke out.
What he was talking about was actually a problem faced by the business community in Xiangjiang now. Even group companies such as Hehe International and Wheelock were acquired by Chu Huan, and it seemed that Chu Huan's roots were not touched.
To be honest, at this time, Xiangjiang Jiaku stood like a big mountain in the Xiangjiang business community, and other companies could only look for food around Jiaku.
The pressure can be imagined.
With Guo Desheng and Zheng Yutong taking the lead, everyone else also spoke out, but the general meaning was the same. Xiangjiang Jiaku put too much pressure on everyone present!
Listening to the business tycoons in Xiangjiang speaking out against the situation in Xiangjiang Jiaku, Mr. He, Mo Qianqi, and Yue Daoqi looked at each other, and they all saw surprise in each other's eyes. They also knew that Chu Huan's Jiaku was in Xiangjiang.
He is known as the head of the three major financial groups, but he did not expect that the influence of Xiangjiang Jiaku has become so terrifying!
Look at these people here.
There are real estate consortiums, Sun Hung Kai, New World, Cheung Kong, Hopewell, hotel industry consortiums, and the Kadoorie family. At the same time, the Kadoorie family is also the king of the electrical industry in Hong Kong. There are also leaders in the Hong Kong securities industry with Feng Wu Securities.
of Sun Hung Kai Securities.
There are also the world’s shipping king Bao Yugang, Xiangjiang’s long-established Swire Swire family, and Nanhai Textile, a leader in the textile industry.
The companies of these people cover almost all walks of life in Xiangjiang, but now they all have lingering fears about Chu Huan's Jiaku!
Shi Huaiya said with a wry smile: "To be honest, although our equity distribution is relatively reasonable, I am always worried that one day Chairman Chu will be interested in our Swire, so I invited Chairman Chu to serve as our Swire director."
Chu Huan also showed a wry smile at this time. Although he had guessed that everyone at the scene must be bitter about Jiaku for a long time, he still felt helpless when he heard everyone complaining like this. However, this also proved that he had summoned these people today.
How necessary it is to get up.
No matter what kind of attitude they said these words, they definitely represent their inner thoughts.
If such emotions are allowed to continue, I am afraid that even if we were partners before, more bad events will definitely happen!
"Everyone, what would you do if you were sitting in my current position?" Chu Huan interrupted everyone's speech and asked.
What can be done? Naturally, let Jiaku develop and grow even more!
But as long as you do this, it will inevitably harm the interests of everyone present, so everyone just thought about it and did not respond to Chu Huan's question!
Chu Huan actually didn't care much whether they answered this question.
After all, the inquiry about Jiaku just now was just an introduction, in order to involve the things that followed.
"Everyone, this is not nice to say, but I think everyone should understand it!" Chu Huan looked at everyone seriously and said: "At this time, Xiangjiang can no longer accommodate the size of Jiaku. I believe that in the future,
As it develops, Jiaku will have more friction with your companies!"
Everyone showed helpless expressions again. This is inevitable. We can't let Jiaku stop developing in Xiangjiang now, right?
"As Xiangjiang's resources become less and less in the future, the competition between us will definitely become more and more intense. I don't think anyone will doubt this, right?"
Guo Desheng pondered for a moment, and then said with a somewhat solemn expression: "Ah Huan, as I just said, no one who can board this ship is an outsider. Since you have summoned all of us here, I think you must have thought of it
Do you have a solution to this problem?"
In fact, everyone knows about the situation of Jiaku. As Chu Huan said, Xiangjiang is now in a period of rapid development. You don’t have to worry too much about it. However, Xiangjiang is too small. The size of a Jiaku
Xiangjiang is almost no longer able to accommodate it.
And the development focus of everyone at the scene is on Xiangjiang, which is bound to be like what Chu Huan said. At some point in the future, everyone will fight a real battle, but in the face of the already developed and fundamental
Jiaku was a solid player, and no one present was confident that he could win the competition with Jiaku.
What Shi Huaiya just said has actually clarified the true meaning of this!
As the company with the strongest structure and the most stable equity among the four major British-funded consortiums in Hong Kong, Swire dare not say that it will be able to withstand Chu Huan's acquisition, let alone other companies!
Chu Huan said seriously: "In my opinion, this is just like a company that wants to develop better and can only increase revenue and reduce expenditure. Xiangjiang is too small, but outside of Xiangjiang, the sky is high and the sea is vast.
If everyone moves away from the corner of Xiangjiang and looks at the whole world, then no matter how much competition we have in Xiangjiang, it will not affect everyone's development of their own business outside. In this case, although our competition in Xiangjiang will still be
It will be very intense, but it won’t end in a life-or-death fight like before!”
After Chu Huan said these words, everyone present completely understood what Chu Huan was going to do.
Chu Huan wants to form an alliance!
Except for the heads of HSBC and Jardine Matheson, everyone at the scene was basically the top consortium in Hong Kong. This must also represent a powerful force, and if this force can unite, in Hong Kong
Conquer cities and seize territory.
Then it is really like what Chu Huan said, by then the Xiangjiang market will actually no longer be that important to everyone!
The reason why Jiaku is like an invincible BOSS in everyone's mind is because Jiaku not only has the basic base of Xiangjiang, but also has extensive business around the world. This is why Jiaku has a strong foundation.
Continuous financial support for important causes.
Now Chu Huan actually proposed to pool their funds in Xiangjiang to start expanding overseas business.
This. This is simply great!
"Ah Huan, this matter can be big or small. In fact, even if we all gather together, we still have to face competition from local governments and local enterprises in other places. The most important thing is that we must have a clear direction. Only
This way everyone will feel at ease!"
Guo Desheng immediately preached.
"Ah Huan, when you propose this idea at this time, do you already have a definite idea in mind?"
Even the extremely calm Huo Shahuang was a little uneasy at this time, but what he thought was different from what Chu Huan thought, because Huo Shahuang believed that Chu Huan proposed this idea to promote their group to his hometown.
market.
In fact, not only Emperor Huo, but also many others thought so. After all, everyone knew that Chu Huan was very optimistic about the development of his hometown.
The rest of the people also looked at Chu Huan, and finally Li Jiacheng asked.
"Dr. Chu, do you want to talk about your hometown?"
"Although the current situation in my hometown has changed, there are still too few places to invest in, and the industries that can be invested are also like this. With our current strength, I actually don't think there can be accommodated there.
Put down our investment!”
Tang Jiqian also spoke at this time. In fact, everyone already thought that this was Chu Huan's suggestion!
However, when everyone had already confirmed the situation, Chu Huan shook his head and said: "I am not talking about my hometown. I believe in the development of my hometown, and I also believe that in the next forty years, the economic speed of my hometown will be the same."
It is definitely the fastest growing in the world, but as Uncle Tang said, we don’t actually need to jointly invest in our hometown now. I believe you all have your own ideas about this kind of thing, so what I want to say now is not
Not my hometown!”
Such an answer made everyone present feel confused again. It was not my hometown, but if it was not my hometown, then where could it be?
Fortunately, Chu Huan did not let them wait too long, but said with a smile: "I now have two goals for you to choose from. As for how to decide, it's up to you!"
"Ah Huan, tell me!" Huo Tsar said immediately.
Although the place Chu Huan mentioned was not their hometown, they still valued the things that made Chu Huan so cautious.
Chu Huan said: "One is Australia and the other is Canada!"
There are three places with the most immigrants from Hong Kong: England, Canada, and Australia!
However, the richest people in Hong Kong immigrate to Canada the most.
So when Chu Huan mentioned these two places, everyone present did not feel that it was a big surprise.
He Hongshen couldn't help but said, "Dr. Chu, can you be more specific?"
Chu Huan nodded and said: "Last year, people from our company began to survey the terrain in Western Australia, and have proven that the local area contains rich mineral resources. If you are interested, we can jointly set up a company.
To jointly develop this mining area, of course, while providing funds, I also hope that you can activate your own relationships in Australia so that we can take root there more smoothly!"
Australia has the richest iron ore resources in the world. There are three major iron ore mining companies in the future, Brazil's Vale, Britain's Rio Tinto, and Australia's BHP Billiton!
Moreover, according to later mining reports, Western Australia is the place with the most iron ore. Chu Huan had already thought of this when he cooperated with Mitsui & Co., so he asked Ma Jizu to send people to Australia to manage the relationship. From then on to
Now, Chu Huan has spent nearly 50 million U.S. dollars just on easing the relationship with Australia!
In addition, Chu Huan also ordered the Australian Jiaku Branch to form an exploration team to search for the undiscovered iron ore mountains in Western Australia.
Of course, at this point, Chu Huan still has an advantage, because Chu Huan has seen the discovery process of Australia's iron ore resources in later global mining reports, so he has very well determined some of the iron ore resources that have not been discovered by Australia.
Mountains sold by the government.
Now there has been a discovery about the exploration team, which is why Chu Huan came up with this matter at this time.
As for cooperating with these top bosses in Xiangjiang, it is not because Chu Huan has financial problems, nor is it because Chu Huan is so kind and wants to bring everyone together to make a fortune.
There are three very important reasons for this. One is that as mentioned before, if everyone is allowed to continue to develop like this in Xiangjiang, it may not be long before these people really start to make trouble.
Secondly, these big guys in Xiangjiang also have their own connections in Australia. For example, Zheng Yutong and He Hongshen have thought about setting up a casino in Australia.
Thirdly, naturally there is more power with more people. This industry cannot be managed by one person alone!
If there is no deep relationship, how can it be involved in the spinach industry?
Don't underestimate these wealthy businessmen in Xiangjiang. Their investments may seem to be only in their hometown of Xiangjiang, but in fact, their investments have already spread all over the world. The success of the Li family is the best performance ever!
"Second, there is Canada. That place is also rich in mineral resources. At the same time, because many people from Xiangjiang are in Canada, I think Canada's real estate industry should also develop well."
After finishing speaking, Chu Huan looked at everyone and asked with a smile: "Everyone, let's see how you choose now. Do you want to start your own secondary industry in Australia or start your own secondary industry in Canada?
?”
At this time, everyone was already stunned by Chu Huan's words!
Although as mentioned just now, everyone is involved in almost all walks of life in Xiangjiang, but there is one industry that they are not involved in, and that is the mining industry. Of course, this is also related to the geographical environment of Xiangjiang. After all, Xiangjiang is
There is nothing about the mining industry.
Now Chu Huan suddenly said that he wants to get involved in the mining industry. To put it in the most straightforward words, everyone is unprofessional!
But everyone also understands that as long as they can establish themselves in this industry, the subsequent benefits will be endless. Just look at Japan's Mitsui & Co.!
call!
Everyone let out a sigh of relief, and finally it was Guo Desheng who gave the lecture.
"Ah Huan, you are really doing nothing but making a big splash. Everyone really didn't expect that you are already preparing to get involved in the mining industry. Although this industry is profitable, the risks involved are not necessarily life-threatening at all.
The shipping industry is small!”
Chu Huan smiled and said: "High risk means high profit. I think you should know this, Uncle Guo, right?"
Guo Desheng sneered, he naturally knew this simple truth.
Not only Guo Desheng knew it, but actually everyone present knew it, and some of these people had actually experienced bullets, such as Mr. He from Haojiang, Tsar Huo from Xiangjiang, and Bao Yugang.
"Ah Huan, I personally am not very familiar with this industry. To be honest, I can't give you an accurate answer now!"
Tang Jiqian spoke up at this time. It is undeniable that the plan proposed by Chu Huan must be good, but the most important problem now is that Tang Jiqian has never been exposed to this industry. Although he understands that this industry represents high profits, but among them
Tang Jiqian was a little worried about the risks, but what he was more worried about was the issue of funds.
For such an industry, the initial capital investment is absolutely astronomical, and they are not sure whether they can accept the initial capital for this investment.
Chu Huan nodded and said: "This is what it should be!"
Tang Jiqian has his own considerations, but at the same time, some people don't have such considerations. They don't have so many ideas. This proposal must be a good one, and from what Chu Huan just said, it can be understood that Chu Huan has actually
The preliminary work is almost done, now we are waiting for everyone to join in!
Mr. He asked for the first time: "Ah Huan, why don't you first tell me a charter for cooperation?"
Mr. He's words made everyone at the scene stop what they were thinking. They really wanted to know how Chu Huan planned this matter, so that they could have a plan in mind.
Chu Huan said in a deep voice: "In both countries, our Jiaku is prepared to spend 1.5 billion US dollars for investment. As for the remaining funds, depending on your ideas, we can invest in companies in these two countries at the same time, or
You can choose where you are most optimistic about investing, and as for the company’s equity ratio, it will be based on your current investment!”
Everyone was in an uproar again!
Everyone knew that Chu Huan was rich, but they didn't expect that Chu Huan was so rich. These two investments were already US$3 billion, more than HK$25 billion. None of the companies present had a market value that exceeded this figure.
.
The most important thing is that this is just an industry that Chu Huan has shared with everyone. What about the ones that Chu Huan has not shared with everyone?
When they thought of this, everyone finally felt what Chu Huan said, Xiangjiang's size could no longer accommodate Jiaku's words.
Everyone was silent for a long time, and Mr. He was still the first to speak: "Ah Huan, you have proven your ability with your countless previous successes. Now that you are willing to take everyone together to make money, I have no objection. After we go back, we
Immediately instruct the company to raise funds, and I will take the initiative to contact you after our company's funds are in place!"
Chu Huan nodded, and then asked: "Uncle He, which company are you planning to invest in?"
Mr. He smiled easily and said: "I know about Australia's mineral resources, so I will buy shares in your company in Australia!"
With Mr. He taking the lead, Mo Qianqi and Yue Daoqi also expressed their intention to invest in Chu Huan's company in Australia.
With the three of them taking the lead, Huo Tsarhuang also made the decision immediately to invest in an Australian company.
Then Bao Yugang came. After thinking about it briefly, Bao Yugang said: "We, the Bao family, have also invested in Australian companies. At the same time, Ah Huan, I have something I want to discuss with you!"
Chu Huan smiled, he knew what Bao Yugang was talking about, "When the time comes to transport minerals from Australia, there will be a joint cooperation between Global Shipping, Wanbang Shipping, and Wheelock Shipping!"
According to Australia's mineral resource reserves, Australia alone cannot accommodate such a large output. Coupled with Australia's geographical advantages, mineral transportation here will be an important breakthrough in the shipping industry.
And Bao Yugang caught this point!
Bao Yugang's global shipping and Cao Wenjin's Wanbang Shipping are not surprising to everyone present. After all, Bao Yugang is here now, and although Cao Wenjin is not here, he is Chu Huan's father-in-law.
The relationship between the two families was particularly good, and no one was surprised that he left a share for his father-in-law's company. What really surprised everyone was what Chu Huan said about Wheelock Shipping.
You must know that whenever Chu Huan mentions the shipping industry, he will always be unfavorable about the future of this industry. Now Wheelock Shipping has been selling its own oil tankers, as if it wants to clear them out.
Now Chu Huan actually mentioned Wheelock Shipping?
But then everyone felt that they had figured it out. Chu Huan said before that he was not optimistic about the shipping industry. That was because everyone knew that Chu Huan did not have many industries that required shipping. Even the transportation of comics, toys, and arcade machines had Cao
Wenjin’s Wanbang Shipping is enough!
Now that Chu Huan has developed a new mining business, the demand for cruise ships has also increased a lot, which should explain the problem!
Now that we have figured it out, naturally no one thinks about it anymore.
Now that many people have expressed their opinions, others have also begun to express their opinions. On the contrary, Tang Jiqian, who just expressed his intention to consider it, seems a little embarrassed.
Chu Huan said with a smile: "One more thing, that is, I am personally very optimistic about your future development prospects, so if any of you who are doing this have some problems with funds at this stage, you can contact us at Alde Commercial Bank
For loans, this loan does not depend on your debt ratio. As long as you can come up with the corresponding collateral, we can provide you with 200% of the loan amount!"
Although everyone present is a first-class wealthy businessman in Xiangjiang, at this time they also really understood one sentence, that is, what is inhumanity!
Especially Xiang Yugang. Although he has just confirmed his investment, he is still a little uneasy. After all, for him, the most important thing now is to win the Wharf, and judging from the current situation, it is impossible to win the Wharf.
The Wharf is an absolutely astronomical figure.
It is still very difficult for Bao Yugang to invest on both sides.
Now with Chu Huan's words, Bao Yugang no longer has any worries in his heart!
"Ah Huan, you are like this. I really can't think of anything else to consider. Our Tang family hopes to invest in Ah Huan's company in Canada!"
Tang Jiqian smiled and preached at this time.
Tang Jiqian was the last to express his stance. With his stance, it actually means that these wealthy businessmen in Xiangjiang have initially established a super consortium with Chu Huan as the center!
The typos will be corrected first and then corrected, thank you all~~
