On this night, the lights were brightly lit, the door was open, and luxury cars drove into the Chu Family Manor at No. 12 Mount Galley Road.
However, there were no reporters taking pictures at the door, which made everyone who came to attend the dinner silently admire Chu Huan's influence in Hong Kong.
However, most Xiangjiang businessmen are still more curious about how many overseas business leaders they can meet tonight.
Everyone knows about Chu Huan's influence overseas, but they really don't know what level of influence it is.
So Chu Shifeng's hundred-day banquet this time became a dinner party for them to solve their doubts!
Chen Songqing was also invited. When Jianing grew up, Chen Songqing owned six Rolls-Royces alone, and was known as the person with the most Rolls-Royces in Xiangjiang.
But at this time, Chen Songqing had not yet bought a Rolls-Royce, but just took his Mercedes-Benz to No. 12 Mount Galley Road.
Looking at the various Rolls-Royces on the parking lot, Chen Songqing shook his head with some disappointment. At this time, he could not compare with these Rolls-Royce owners, but Chen Songqing also firmly believed that he
With the support of HSBC and Jiaku, he will definitely become a top figure in Hong Kong in the future.
Under the guidance of a dedicated person, Chen Songqing came to the banquet hall of the manor. At this time, the banquet hall was already bustling with people. Many businessmen were wearing suits and holding their wives or girlfriends in formal dresses.
As expected, he is the number one person in Xiangjiang, and all the wealthy businessmen in Xiangjiang have gathered at a dinner party.
Bao Yugang didn't know what he was talking to Tsar Huo, but it could be seen that both of them were very happy and would laugh from time to time.
Guo Desheng, Zheng Yutong, Feng Jingxi, and Li Zhaoji were also chatting and laughing, obviously talking about something happy.
Swire's Shi Huaiya was chatting with Yihe's Niubijian. The two of them were probably talking about some cooperation, and they would clink glasses to celebrate from time to time.
Shao Yifu was chatting with Jian Yueqiang and Kadoorie at this time. It seemed that the three of them were chatting about the past years in Hong Kong.
Descendants of He Dong, once the richest man in Hong Kong, are now the owners of Xiangjiang's "Business Daily". He Shili, who has rarely appeared in the business world of Xiangjiang, is also chatting with Li Mingze, Li Xiao and the three of them, who were also descendants of the Li family. Although they heard
I don't know what they are talking about, but I am sure they are talking about their family's past glory.
Li Fuzhao, the president of the Hong Kong Far Eastern Association, Hu Hanhui, the president of the Gold and Silver Association, Chen Pufen of the Kowloon Association, and Mo Yingji, the chairman of the Hong Kong Association, are probably still discussing about the alliance of the four associations.
At this time, Kadoorie was talking to Jin Yong, the Hong Kong martial arts master, and they didn't know what they were talking about. This pairing made Chen Songqing a little curious.
Shipping king Cao Wenjin, who has not been seen in Hong Kong for a long time, is also greeting Dong Haoyun of Oriental Shipping, Zhao Congyan of Huaguang Shipping, and Xu Shixun of Shunchang Shipping, a long-established shipping king family in Xiangjiang. It seems that they are discussing about future shipping.
The situation of industry!
Tang Jiqian of Nanhai Textile was chatting with Chen Tinghua of Nanfeng Textile, An Zijie and Zhou Wenxuan of South China Dyeing Factory, Tang Xiangqian of Nanlian Group and others. Now that the Xiangjiang textile industry has entered the sunset period, they should be discussing what should be done in the future. How to transform.
He Shanheng from Hang Seng Bank was chatting with Roy Bentley and Shen Bi from HSBC Bank, Li Fushu from Bank of East Asia, Qiu Degen from Far East Bank, Zhang Mingyi from Overseas Trust Bank and others. I don’t know whether they were talking about the current situation in Hong Kong. The financial system is still talking about the lawsuit between Far East Bank and North American Universal Bank.
Immediately, Chen Songqing saw that not far from the group, the heads of Hong Kong Bank, Hong Kong First Bank of Boston, Hong Kong **** and other overseas banks in Hong Kong were chatting together.
In addition, from time to time, heads of foreign banks in Japan and Europe would join them in chatting.
This is not over yet. Hu Yingxiang from Xiangjiang Hopewell Real Estate, Wang Dehui from Chinachem Group, and Luo Yingshi from Great Eagle Real Estate are also chatting. From now on, they will be their competitors!
In addition to these people, Chen Songqing also saw Wu Zhande from Maxim's Group, Ma Jia from Xianshi Department Store, Guo Jia from Wing On Department Store, Yan Jia from CMB, Lei Jia from KMB, Feng Jia from Li & Fung Group and many others. Someone who Chen Songqing didn’t even know.
call!
Chen Songqing let out a long breath and thought to himself: I'm afraid all the prominent figures in the Xiangjiang business community are here, right?
This is even more crowded than when the Hong Kong General Chamber of Commerce held its annual meeting!
It was not just these people. Soon, Chen Songqing saw the Governor of Hong Kong, MacLehose, the Colonial Secretary Law Bi-shih, the Financial Secretary Xia Dingji and others also arrived at the scene.
This is a gathering of all the big shots in Hong Kong’s political and business circles!
only.......
Although Chen Songqing was shocked, he still had some doubts in his heart. After all, it was only some dignitaries from Xiangjiang who came now. Everyone wanted to see those Chu Huan's overseas relationships, but they had not yet seen them!
At this time, Chu Huan and Cao Yunshang came to the hall with Chu Shifeng in their arms. Everyone saw this and congratulated each other. At this time, people were still coming to the banquet hall one after another.
Just when Chen Songqing wanted to step forward to say hello to Chu Huan, he saw three old people and Haojiang gambling king He Hongshen arriving at the scene.
Although Chen Songqing didn't know the three old people, when he saw that He Hongshen was half a body behind them to let them go and greet Chu Huan first, Chen Songqing knew that the identities of these three old people were not simple. At the same time, he also guessed the identities of these three people.
The only people who came together in Haojiang and who could make He Hongshen consider himself a junior are Mr. He, Mo Qianqi and Yue Daoqi from Haojiang!
I have always heard that Chu Huan has a deep relationship in Haojiang, but I have never had a concrete idea. At this time, when Chen Songqing saw these three old gentlemen coming to the scene in person, Chen Songqing finally knew that Chu Huan was in Haojiang. What kind of connections does Jiang have?
Watching several people chatting enthusiastically with Chu Huan, Chen Songqing suddenly felt endless envy and jealousy in his heart. This man was obviously younger than himself, but he had already grown into the most famous figure in Hong Kong and Macao!
Immediately afterwards, more people began to arrive at the scene, and these people also made Chen Songqing start to look at their appearance seriously, wanting to confront the characters in his heart, but it was a pity that many people came this time.
Chen Songqing didn't know him.
But the identities of these characters can be vaguely discerned.
For example, Chen Songqing only knows one of these two ghost guys now, which is William Ford, the president of Ford Motor Asia Division. But it is obvious that the person who came with William Ford has a higher status than William Ford. So in the entire Ford
In the architecture of the car, it is naturally obvious that a person with this status is the current helmsman of Ford Motors, Ford II!
Chu Huan is not only the second largest shareholder of Ford Motor Company, but also a partner of Ford Motor Company's Asia Division. It seems that there is no need to be too surprised when Ford II comes this time.
After thinking about all this, Chen Songqing was not so surprised.
Then three people came, which made Chen Songqing a little unfamiliar. He didn't know the identities of these three ghosts, but he soon learned from the people around him that these three people were now KKR, a famous company on Wall Street.
The founders were Jerry Kohlberg, Henry Clevey, and George Roberts.
In order to better organize his overseas relationships, Chen Songqing has also studied the situation in North America. Naturally, he also knows the situation of KKR. Last year and this year alone, KKR has already led many commercial acquisitions in North America.
, the amount involved has also exceeded 3 billion US dollars.
This year, it was named the most promising fund company on Wall Street by the Wall Street Journal.
Just when Chen Songqing was recovering from the shock of the three founders of KKR arriving together, several more ghost guys, both male and female, walked in.
At this time, Chen Songqing realized that he had little knowledge of world business history, because he did not know these people at all. In fact, it was not only Chen Songqing who did not know them, but many business figures in Hong Kong who were present did not know them.
But someone still recognized them.
Looking at the surprised Shao Yifu next to him, Jian Yue asked with a strong smile: "What? Brother Six, do you know these people?"
Shao Yifu nodded and said: "Of course we know each other. In fact, there is a girl. Not only do I know her, I think there are many people in Xiangjiang who have not forgotten this girl!"
Jian Yueqiang and Kadoorie both looked at the only girl among the new ghost guys. Kadoorie asked: "That girl is not old. Who is she? Should we know her?"
Shao Yifu's eyes fell on Qin Tianheng, the person in charge of Tianhua Toys who was not far away, and he said, "You two must have forgotten that overseas capital shorted Tianhua Toys back then, right?"
Hearing what Shao Yifu said, Jian Yueqiang and Kadoorie immediately thought of what happened that year. At that time, many listed companies in Hong Kong were crying wolf.
But in the end, the other party only took action against Tianhua Toys, and then left. Apart from investing in Qingjin Clothing, there was no news in Xiangjiang anymore, and this person was Kelly!
"You said she is Kelly?" Kadoorie couldn't help but ask.
Shao Yifu nodded and said, "Who else could be there besides her?"
"I didn't expect this woman to be so familiar with Ah Huan. She even came here in person today. I don't know what's going on with her investment company now!"
Jian Yueqiang said with a smile.
Shao Yifu said calmly: "I don't know what happened to her investment company, but there is one company I think you two must have heard of!"
Jian Yueqiang and Kadoorie looked at Shao Yifu in confusion again.
Yifu Shao didn't sell it, and explained directly: "I think you two should be familiar with the "Jaws", "Rocky" and "Star Wars" that have been released in Hong Kong in the past two years, right?"
Although Jian Yueqiang and Kadoorie did not go to the cinema to watch these three movies, they were still aware of the sensation caused by these three movies when they were released in Hong Kong.
Yifu Shao continued: "These three movies were invested and filmed by Vertex Pictures, which was founded by Kelly in Hollywood. Vertex Pictures even acquired Disney before, but it was later sold to..."
At this point, Shao Yifu pointed at another male ghost among the ghosts and said: "It was the News Corporation that sold it to him!"
A News Corporation, Jian Yueqiang and Shao Yifu already knew that the other party was Murdoch without even saying each other's name!
"As for the others, although I don't know them all, I can tell that most of them are heads of the seven major Hollywood studios!"
Shao Yifu preached with a somewhat complicated expression.
Jian Yueqiang and Kadoorie looked at each other. This time they were really shocked and didn't know what to say. Hollywood is the center of global movies. At this time, the heads of several major studios came to attend Chu Shifeng's 100-year-old movie.
The Japanese banquet is quite exaggerated.
"Actually, I can understand that they can come!" Shao Yifu said with some admiration at this time.
"Why?" Kadoorie couldn't hold it back and asked Shao Yifu.
Shao Yifu explained: "Now Black and White Cinemas is actually the largest cinema chain company in Asia and Europe. I even heard that Black and White Cinemas has also become the largest cinema chain company in North America. So at this time, Black and White Cinemas
The media has actually controlled an important say in the global film industry. Even now that the North American government has begun to relax the regulations of the Paramount Act, black and white theaters have completed their global layout, so if these film companies want
You want your videos to be distributed smoothly around the world.
So in addition to dealing with local policies, they also need the support of black and white cinema chains."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Kadoorie asked in surprise: "Have the black and white cinema chains monopolized the global cinema chains?"
Shao Yifu shook his head and said: "It's not a monopoly, but it is undeniable that Black and White Cinema has now become the largest cinema company in the world. At least two-fifths of the world's box office is provided by Black and White Cinema. , and I also heard that Black and White Cinemas has not stopped acquiring theater companies around the world until now!"
Jian Yueqiang and Kadoorie looked at each other and saw shock in each other's eyes again.
As the people from Hollywood left, Gui Lao came to the banquet hall again and was recognized by Shen Bi and others.
"They're actually here too?"
Qiu Degen's Far East Bank is still limited to Xiangjiang. Although Bank of East Asia has overseas branches, it does not have much business. As for Zhang Mingyi of Overseas Trust Bank, he is not very familiar with the banking industry in Europe and the United States, so at this time he heard Shen Bi recognize Noting their tone, they couldn't help but ask.
"Who are these?"
"****, the heads of several major banks in the United States such as First Boston, Citibank, All-American Bank, and Mellon Bank!"
After Shen Bi finished speaking, he looked at Roy Bentley with fear in his eyes. This situation was something Shen Bi had never dreamed of before. He knew that some people who would shock him would definitely come today, but he never did. Thinking about these people coming here would shock me so much.
He Shanheng was mature and prudent in Xiangjiang, and he was used to ups and downs, but at this time he couldn't help but said in surprise: "What kind of business does Chu Huan have in North America? I think even at the World Banking Conference, these people will not Will they appear at the same time?"
Shen Bi was also confused at this time. He also wanted to know why these people appeared here at the same time, but he could probably guess that Chu Huan must have very close business relationships with these banks. Only those who contact these people will appear here at this time.
But the more this happens, the more surprised Shen Bi is. What kind of cooperative relationship does Chu Huan have with the people in these banks to allow these people to come together?
In fact, the reason is very simple, that is, Chu Huan's Jiaku has already been the most valued customer of these banks. Although Chu Huan now has Alde Commercial Bank, Chu Huan has not put all his deposits in Alde. Commercial banks, after all, there is a reason for risk diversification.
Now these banks have naturally become Chu Huan's partners.
In addition, there are investment institutions in these banks. Last year and this year, in order to integrate the North American Jiaku into the mainstream business circles in North America, Chu Huan had already asked the North American Jiaku to make investments in these banks. Today in the late 1970s, each bank's investment of more than 300 million US dollars, coupled with Jiaku's investment in North America, was enough for these banks to regard Chu Huan as their most distinguished customer!
Before Shen Bi could react, the heads of major European banks also arrived at the scene, watching those people laughing happily with Chu Huan.
At this time, Shen Bi called Roy Bentley aside and whispered: "We must change our relationship with Chu Huan!"
This is no longer a question of whether Shen Bi thinks about it or not, but a question of what he must do!
Roy Bentley also nodded blankly. Today is really an eye-opener!
Although the arrival of these people does not prove that Chu Huan has the absolute right to speak among these people, it is certain that the relationship between Chu Huan and them has reached a stage where they must attach great importance to Chu Huan!
This alone is enough for Shen Bi and Roy Bentley to make their changes!
In fact, the European and American bankers at the scene were all very shocked at this time. They did not expect that the other party would come. However, it was precisely because of this meeting that they understood that Chu Huan at this time, He has definitely grown into an important economic figure that the world cannot ignore!
"Why is he here too?"
While the bankers were still greeting each other, He Hongshen also showed a surprised expression when he saw the newcomers.
Mr. He didn't know the new person, so he asked He Hongshen, "Which one is this?"
"Jay Sarno, the owner of Caesars Palace in Las Vegas, was just named the second richest man in North America this year, and there are reports that he may become the richest man in less than two years!"
He Hongshen couldn't help but preach.
"The richest man in North America?" At this time, not only Mr. He, but also Mo Qianqi and Yue Daoqi also showed surprised expressions. They were surprised that the owner of Caesars Palace could become the richest man in North America.
He Hongshen said: "He owns Caesars, the largest arcade chain in the United States, and a huge amount of cash enters his account every year!"
Mr. He’s knowledge of arcade machines is limited to: “Is it the gadget developed by Ah Huan’s Wolf Smoke game?”
He Hongshen nodded with a wry smile: "Yes, it's that little gadget, but after saying that, the reason for Jay Sarno's coming has been found. They are the largest partner with Langyan Games, so it is understandable for him to come here this time! "
Although he understood it, He Hongshen did not overly speculate on the relationship between Chu Huan and the Caesar chain. After all, the gray area in this industry is too big, and He Hongshen did not think that Chu Huan could participate!
"Today is really an eye-opener!" Mo Qianqi said what Roy Bentley did not say.
Just the appearance of these people now has proved Chu Huan's influence in the world's business community, and everyone present also understands that if today's party is revealed, then Chu Huan is not the number one person in Hong Kong. Even if I were to become the number one person in Asia, no one would say anything!
"However, considering Ah Huan's influence in Japan, why haven't we seen any Japanese businessmen coming to the scene yet?"
Yue Daoqi asked curiously.
Mr. He chuckled and said, "Look, isn't that coming!"
After the words fell, three people walked into the banquet hall again. They were Sumitomo Yoshio, his wife, and Sumitomo Ryoko who were in Xiangjiang.
"This is?"
Mo Qianqi and the others did not know Sumitomo Yoshio. Seeing that Mr. He recognized them, they asked Mr. He.
"This is the head of the Japanese Sumitomo Foundation, Sumitomo Yoshio!" Not far away, Bao Yugang also told Emperor Huo the identity of Sumitomo Yoshio.
Emperor Huo was stunned for a moment, and then said: "What an exaggerated battle. Even Yoshio Sumitomo of the Sumitomo Foundation is here?"
Bao Yugang also put away his inner shock and said: "These chaebols in Japan are now more low-key than the other, but I didn't expect Sumitomo Yoshio to come to Xiangjiang at this time!"
Emperor Huo also nodded. He really couldn't accept the current situation anymore!
Sumitomo Yoshio had just walked up to Chu Huan, and before they started chatting, Mitsui Takacho also came to the scene with his wife.
Compared to Sumitomo Yoshio, Mitsui Takanaga's identity was even more mysterious. Even Mr. He didn't recognize him this time. Bao Yugang, who often traveled to Japan, was the only one among the many businessmen in Hong Kong who recognized Mitsui Takanaga.
With the arrival of Sumitomo Yoshio, Mitsui Takanaga and others, Tsubouchi Hisao, Tsuchimitsu Toshio, Isoda Ichiro, Kitaura Kiichiro, Tsutsumi Yoshiaki and others also came to the scene.
Looking at these top businessmen in Japan, Bao Yugang couldn't really calm down even if he wanted to appear calmer.
When Japanese businessmen of this level gather together, I'm afraid only Japan's Ministry of Finance has this ability, right?
Now they actually gathered together at Chu Shifeng's 100-day banquet?
What kind of existence is Chu Huan in Japan?
Bao Yugang felt that he should find a chance to have a good chat with Chu Huan!
"Chu Sang, your son is in heaven and his achievements in the future will be good. Our Mitsui family happened to have just given birth to a girl. How about we make a marriage contract?"
Mitsui Gaochang looked at Chu Shifeng in Cao Yunshang's arms and smiled and talked to Chu Huan.
"Mitsui-kun, your Mitsui family is not the only one to have girls born, our Sumitomo family also has girls. I think Chu Sang's son has more destiny with our Sumitomo family!"
Sumitomo Yoshio immediately preached.
Mitsui Takacho said dissatisfiedly: "Why haven't I heard that a girl was born in the Sumitomo family during this period?"
Yoshio Sumitomo preached without giving in: "Just because we don't have it now, doesn't mean it won't happen in the future!"
Seeing that Mitsui Gaochang and Sumitomo Yoshio were about to quarrel over this matter, Chu Huan immediately smiled and said: "You two, you two, this is all for the future. I still hope that the child can grow up happily.
Yes, as for the future, let’s wait until the future!”
Mitsui Takacho and Sumitomo Yoshio also knew that this was not the time to talk about this. Then they smiled and nodded, no longer entangled in this matter.
At this time, everyone was focusing on the top chaebols in North America, Europe, and Japan, but they did not notice that in the corner there were several major chaebols from South Korea, including Samsung, Hyundai, LG, and other South Korean chaebol leaders.
Arrived at the scene.
Jiaku doesn't have much cooperation with them, and Chu Huan even dealt with Hyundai Group severely before, but Jiaku's influence in Asia is too great, and they also hope to come here to seek more cooperation opportunities!
Hu Xian in the other corner looked at the people in the banquet hall. At this time, he was filled with sighs and helplessness. If such a scene tonight could be reported, it would probably shock the whole of Hong Kong, Southeast Asia, Asia, and even "Star Island"
The sales of newspapers in Europe and the United States will also increase.
But unfortunately, the more he saw the situation at the scene, the more Hu Xian understood that an occasion like today could not be reported to the outside world without Chu Huan's consent, otherwise it would really cause trouble!
Just look at the wealthy businessmen from Southeast Asia who have not yet lined up to talk to Chu Huan, and you know how many important people are present at this occasion.
It includes almost all the top chaebols in the world!
In fact, no, there are still several families with top reputations in the world who are not present at the scene, such as the Rothschild family, the Rockefeller family, etc., but this is no longer important, as long as the party tonight will continue.
If the news spreads among those present, then these families will definitely contact Chu Huan!
Because everyone understands that after Chu Huan reaches the current level, everyone can only cooperate with each other to formulate global business rules. It is already impossible to win!
If Chu Huan knew what Hu Xian was thinking, he would definitely oppose the other party's idea. It was not against Hu Xian's guess about the outcome, but Chu Huan knew that in fact, it was not just the so-called Rothschild and Rockefeller families who did not come.
For example, the Saudi royal family didn't come either. This was just because Chu Huan's business wasn't spread everywhere yet, but it didn't matter anymore. There would always be opportunities in the future.
Many people who have not come will definitely take the initiative to attend such occasions in the future!
But no matter what, tonight, Chu Shifeng's 100-day banquet really made the businessmen in Xiangjiang understand what it means to open their eyes!
