697, Hong Kong government’s reaction and Zhao Yazhi’s pregnancy
"Han Yang, prepare the car!"
After putting down the phone, Chu Huan directly dialed Han Yang's office number, then stood up and picked up his coat to go out.
Xu Yi walked in at this time, saw Chu Huan like this, and asked.
"Boss, do you have to go out for something?"
Chu Huan nodded and asked, "What? Is there something wrong?"
Xu Yi nodded and said: "According to your schedule, you will meet Qiao John next and ask him about the land reform of Huangpu Dockyard."
Chu Huan put down the coat in his hand and asked, "Is John Qiao here?"
Xu Yidao: "I'm already here, and I'm waiting for your summons in the reception room now!"
"Let him come in!" Chu Huan then asked Xu Yi: "By the way, what's the next itinerary?"
Xu Yi looked at the notebook in his hand and said: "Next is the meeting with Bao Yugang. You have an appointment to have lunch together at noon today. There are several meetings that you need to chair in the afternoon!"
After finishing speaking, Xu Yi looked at Chu Huan and asked: "Boss, do you want to modify your itinerary?"
Chu Huan shook his head and said: "No, that's it!"
"Understood!"
After Xu Yi left, Han Yang came in and told Chu Huan that the car was ready.
Chu Huan waved his hand and told Han Yang, "No need, go get busy!"
Han Yang went to do his own business without asking.
Later, John Qiao came to Chu Huan's office and began to report to Chu Huan about the change of industrial land to commercial land at Huangpu Shipyard.
"Chairman, the company has reached an agreement with the Hong Kong government. The Hong Kong government has agreed to our proposal. The land premium is HK$450 million, and the road construction fee is HK$280 million!"
Chu Huan had put away other thoughts in his mind at this time, and asked John Qiao with a smile: "Wasn't the attitude of the Hong Kong government always very firm before, and the total asking price was HK$1 billion? Why has it suddenly changed its tone now?
"
In another time and space, Li Jiacheng wanted to transform Huangpu Dockyard into Huangpu Garden. At that time, the Hong Kong government's asking price was between 1.4 billion and 1.9 billion Hong Kong dollars, but now they ask Jiaku for 1 billion Hong Kong dollars. Not because of the current price.
Chu Huan is more influential than Li Jiacheng in another time and space.
But because of the current land prices, when Lijiacheng wanted to rebuild Huangpu Garden, it was already in the early 1980s. At that time, housing prices were at their highest in Hong Kong from the late 1970s to the early 1980s.
Later, due to political reasons, Xiangjiang's stock price fell sharply in 1982, and the real estate market was immediately affected. In order to raise the land price in Xiangjiang again, the Hong Kong government lowered the previous asking price to a total price of HK$601 million.
But the problem now is that at this time, the land price in Hong Kong has not reached the peak of that period, so the Hong Kong government’s asking price is HK$1 billion.
John Qiao smiled, and then said: "Actually, I have to thank you, Chairman, for this matter!"
Chu Huan showed an interested expression and asked with a smile: "How come you still have a relationship with me?"
John Qiao explained: "During the eldest son's 100-day banquet, so many heads of world-class consortiums came. This should have allowed the Hong Kong government to see your global influence, Chairman. Although I don't know the two
There is no specific connection between them, but it was after this that the Hong Kong government lowered its requirements and finally agreed to the price!"
Only then did Chu Huan remember what he had said when he met with the big boss in England. It seemed that the Hong Kong government was not because of the situation at Chu Shifeng's 100-day banquet, but because of his relationship with the British boss.
The reason why the bosses meet!
.
Hong Kong government!
Financial Secretary Xia Dingji came to the office of Coordinator Luo Bishi with a trace of anger on his face.
"I heard that the Colonial Secretary has agreed to the request of Hopewell International-Wheelock. What on earth do you think and why do you agree so easily?"
When Luo Bishi saw Xia Dingji looking like this, he also smiled bitterly. He stood up and personally invited Xia Dingji to sit on the sofa, and then said helplessly.
"You also attended the 100-day banquet held by Chu Huan's son Chu Shifeng. I think you should know the situation at that time, right?"
Xia Dingji was still a little angry and said: "Of course I saw it, but so what? This can only show Chu Huan's influence in the global business world, but this is Xiangjiang, no matter what he does in the global business world
As long as his industry is still in Xiangjiang, there is no need for us to compromise with him!"
Luo Bishi smiled bitterly and said: "You know this is impossible. What's more, you and I both know that Chu Huan's influence is no longer limited to the business world. If this was the case, when Kissinger came to Xiangjiang, he would also
I won’t go to No. 12 Mount Galley Road to interview Chu Huan right away.”
Xia Dingji understood what Luo Bishi meant, but he did not want to be convinced by Luo Bishi. He said: "Kissinger is the former Secretary of State of North America, not the current one, and not our British one!"
Luo Bishi sat opposite Xia Dingji at this time, picked up a thin cigar on the table, handed it to Xia Dingji and said, "Then how about I tell you something you don't know?"
Xia Dingji took the cigar from Luo Bishi's hand, and after it was lit by Luo Bishi, he asked: "What is it that I don't know?"
Luo Bishi asked: "Did you know that after Chu Shifeng's Hundred Days Banquet, Chu Huan independently set up more than a dozen Hundred Days Banquets?"
"Where are Chu Huan's so many illegitimate children?" Xia Dingji asked subconsciously.
Luo Bishi had a dark look on his face, but he still explained: "Of course not, let me tell you this, Congressman Joe Cole, you know, right?"
"Of course I know!" Xia Dingji said immediately.
Joe Cole, the Vice-President of the British House of Commons, is truly at the top of the British power structure.
Luo Bishi said: "Qiao Cole came to Xiangjiang just last month and lived in a villa owned by Chu Huan in the middle of the mountain. According to the information we received, Qiao Cole was just one of Chu Huan's guests this time.
, As for who the other guests are, even we can’t find out, so do you know what this means?”
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! "This is impossible!" Xia Dingji immediately thought this was impossible.
"What's impossible?" Luo Bishi asked.
Xia Dingji said: "It is impossible for Joe Cole to come, and it is impossible for us not to investigate who the other people are!"
As the authority in Hong Kong, the Hong Kong government can be said to be the most authoritative organization in Hong Kong when it comes to investigating the top bosses who went to Hong Kong. But now Luo Bishi actually said that they could not investigate at all, so Xia Dingji said that this was impossible.
.
Luo Bishi said: "The most impossible thing in the world is that there is no impossible thing. After Qiao Cole met with Chu Huan, he specially met with Mr. Hong Kong Governor. I think if there was no such thing,
It’s impossible for us to know about Joe Cole’s coming to Xiangjiang!”
Speaking of this, Luo Bishi said with some helplessness: "If, I mean, if the people who come are all people of the same level as Mr. Qiao Keer, then if these people don't want us to know about their coming to Xiangjiang, then they will naturally
He has his own way!"
Xia Dingji had to put away his anger at this time and asked Luo Bishi seriously: "I still have three questions."
Luo Bishi nodded and said, "You tell me, I'll listen!"
Xia Dingji said: "The first question is what did Mr. Joe Cole say when he met Mr. Hong Kong Governor?"
Luo Bishi said: "Actually, even if I don't tell you, you should have guessed it. Naturally, I said something about Chu Huan. Mr. Qiao Cole told the Hong Kong Governor that Chu Huan is a very pure and successful businessman. He hopes that Chu Huan will be with us."
Xiangjiang can be treated fairly!"
Xia Dingji's expression changed slightly. Although they could be called feudal officials, in the final analysis they were still too far away from the center of power in England. Faced with Qiao Cole's instructions, he naturally felt numb in his heart.
If he had just regarded this as a simple exhortation, then Xia Dingji would not be able to have his current status.
"The second question is, what did Chu Huan do, and how did he get involved with Mr. Qiaokel? Doesn't Mr. Qiaokel know Chu Huan's attitude towards Hua Guo?"
Xia Dingji could only continue to ask Luo Bishi.
Luo Bishi said helplessly: "This is not a question, but if you ask me how Chu Huan got involved with Mr. Qiao Cole, I can't answer you, because I haven't figured out the key yet.
As for whether Mr. Qiao Keer knows the attitude of Chu Huan and Hua Guo, I think the other party knows."
Speaking of this, Luo Bishi told Xia Dingji: "But the same thing also tells us a truth, that is, even if Mr. Qiao Cole knew the attitude of Chu Huan and Hua Guo, he still chose to say this to Mr. Hong Kong Governor
If you say that, it shows that the interests of both of them must have been deeply tied together, so don't think about doing anything in this matter, because such consequences are not something you and I can afford.
Don’t forget, the Murdoch we saw at Chu Shifeng’s birthday party was a European media tycoon. If he unites with Chu Huan, then whether it is Asia or Europe, I believe that all media
There will be bad news about you and me, and I think you should know what will happen to everyone when the time comes!"
Xia Dingji's face began to turn gloomy. He was the Financial Secretary in Xiangjiang. If you want to say how clean Xia Dingji's tail is, I am afraid that when Xia Dingji said this himself, he would have to laugh in embarrassment.
"So, this is why Joe Cole can say what he said to Mr. Governor without any scruples!"
Luo Bishi shook his head and said: "Then you are wrong. Mr. MacLehose is different from us. Don't forget that it was Qiao Cole who proposed Mr. MacLehose to come to Xiangjiang. The relationship between the two is another.
It’s a relationship!”
Only then did Xia Dingji realize that with MacLehose's background, behind every politician there was an entire political group. At MacLehose's position, it was no longer possible for a single person to work hard in politics.
After pondering for a moment, Xia Dingji continued to ask: "The third question is, how should we deal with Chu Huan in the future?"
At this time, when Xia Dingji mentioned Chu Huan's name again, he felt a sense of powerlessness in his heart. It seemed that he had never succeeded with Chu Huan since he started targeting Chu Huan, which made Xia Dingji feel very uncomfortable.
Luo Bishi said: "Actually, even if you don't ask, I still want to tell you that in the future, we will coexist peacefully with Chu Huan. As long as he does not go too far, then in our minds, he is a businessman from Xiangjiang and a businessman from Xiangjiang."
A businessman with absolute influence in the global business community."
Xia Dingji nodded and said: "I understand!"
There are many things that don't need to be pointed out. Luo Bishi's words actually told Xia Dingji that at this time, Chu Huan was not only a too-big-to-fail existence in the business world, but also such a figure in Xiangjiang. They were like running water.
He is an official, and Chu Huan is indeed a well-established businessman in Xiangjiang.
Although the two sides still have different opinions on many things, Chu Huan is no longer someone they can touch as long as he doesn't make mistakes.
Since this is the case, then the rest of the things are actually understood.
Since there is no way to fight such a person, it is better to cooperate. What they want in Xiangjiang is political achievements, and the headquarters of a top businessman in the world like Chu Huan is also in Xiangjiang, so the future development of Xiangjiang cannot be without Chu.
Huan, the cooperation between the two parties has become a thing that is beneficial to both of them.
"I don't think we should think about the past things anymore. I hope that when we leave Xiangjiang in the future, there will still be some good reputation for us here!"
Luo Bishi preached to Xia Dingji.
Xia Dingji nodded, but this also gave Xia Dingji new questions.
"I think you know about the attitude of the ancestral family towards Xiangjiang. If the ancestral family and my hometown do not have a good agreement, then the situation in Xiangjiang will change. How should we respond then?"
Luo Bishi smiled easily and said: "This did not happen overnight, and in my opinion, by the time this matter comes to an end, your and my terms may have expired, so naturally we will not be needed for this matter."
Go worry about it!”
Xia Dingji thought for a moment, smiled, and said: "That's true, but there is one thing that I think will happen during our term!"
Luo Bishi just thought briefly and then asked: "Are you talking about Yihe?"
Xia Dingji nodded and said: "Yes, Chu Huan's Jiaku has always coveted Yihe, the giant in Xiangjiang. Now Jiaku's development in Xiangjiang has obviously reached the ceiling. I think Jiaku and Yihe
There is no telling whether there will be a war between the two countries in the future, how will we deal with it then?"
Luo Bishi smiled easily and said: "Then it depends on Keswick's strength in England and whether his status as a parliamentarian can block Chu Huan. This matter is still not something we have to worry about!"
After Henry Keswick resigned from his position as Jardine Matheson, he returned to England, ran for election and became a member of the British House of Commons!
Xia Dingji completely put away his dissatisfaction at this time and said with a smile: "To be honest, I still hope to see this scene!"
Luo Bishi said: "It will always come when it should come!"
After a pause, Luo Bishi continued: "By the way, since we have already made a calculation in our hearts, we will not make any small moves against Chu Huan in the future. In addition, I am planning to invite Chu Huan to play golf in the next two days.
Are you interested in joining us?"
Xia Dingji smiled and said: "Of course I have. To be honest, golf is one of the few games where I can beat Chu Huan. I still hope to see Chu Huan lose!"
Luo Bishi laughed after hearing this.
The two of them have reached a consensus at this time, but they both understand that this consensus is actually not strong. If Chu Huan's business really declines one day in the future, then they will still join forces to deal with Chu Huan.
joyous!
The current reaction is only because of Chu Huan's current strength!
Of course, if Chu Huan can continue to be so powerful, they are also willing to remain friends with Chu Huan!
.
Chinese Bank, inside Chu Huan's office.
"Now that the Hong Kong government has agreed to the price, let's get ready to start the project!"
Chu Huan did not tell John Qiao his speculation, but instead turned the topic to the subsequent reconstruction of the Huangpu Dockyard.
John Qiao replied: "I came here specifically to tell you about this matter, Chairman. Although we have been negotiating with the Hong Kong government on this matter before, the company has also been sitting and discussing the reconstruction of Huangpu Shipyard.
.
After the final discussion, we believe that Huangpu Commercial Center should be different from Zhulu Commercial Center by adding some distinctive buildings. In addition, Cao Yunzu’s design company is currently working on the first draft of the design. After they design it, I will give it to the chairman.
Sent."
As for the renaming of Huangpu Dockyard to Huangpu Commercial Center, Chu Huan had already approved it, and as he said, he wanted to minimize his own impact.
"Okay, you can take control of this matter yourself, and just report to me once at each stage!"
Although Huangpu Commercial Center is a twin wing of Zhulu Commercial Center, as the main person in charge of this project, Qiao John still hopes that it can have a better style of its own!
Chu Huan thought for a while and said: "Don't deliberately pursue changes in style. Although this is now a project of Hehe International-Wheelock, it is still the symbol of Jiaku in Hong Kong!"
After a pause, Chu Huan finally decided: "In this way, you ask Cao Yunzu to design two different plans. Then we will look at the renderings and see which plan is more suitable. Then use that plan.
!”
John Qiao nodded and continued to ask: "Well, I will first come up with the design plan and the overall budget, and then come to the chairman to report this matter!"
Chu Huan nodded.
.
After waiting until he finished the work at hand in the afternoon, Chu Huan was about to leave. However, at this time, Zhao Shizeng came over again and insisted on inviting Chu Huan to have dinner with him.
"Not tonight, I have important things to do. I'll treat you to another day!"
After speaking, Chu Huan patted Zhao Shizeng on the shoulder and left his office without giving the other party a chance to speak.
Zhao Shizeng looked like he was hesitating to speak, and in the end he could only look at Chu Huan's back and became helpless.
“Go to Beacon Hill!”
After Chu Huan got in the car, he directly ordered Han Yang.
When Chu Huan arrived at the villa where Zhao Yazhi lived in Beacon Hill, there were already many people here, including Lin Qingxia, Miao Kexiu, and Zhao Yazhi's family.
After seeing Chu Huan, everyone stood up one after another. When Chu Huan saw Zhao Yazhi, he also wanted to stand up. He immediately walked to her and said with a smile: "Don't move anymore. If you accidentally get fetal gas, you'll be fine."
Oh no!"
The reason Zhao Yazhi called Chu Huan this morning was actually because she found out she was pregnant.
However, Zhao Yazhi still felt a little emotional at this time. After all, she had told Chu Huan the news in the morning, but Chu Huan only came here now.
"Some things in the company have been temporarily delayed, how are you? Do you feel uncomfortable somewhere?" Chu Huan first explained, and then asked Zhao Yazhi with concern.
Zhao Yazhi was like this. Even if she had some small emotions in her heart, when she saw Chu Huan looking so concerned, those little emotions disappeared.
At this time, she was more happy. She was finally pregnant with a child, which meant that the child in her belly would be Chu Huan's second child. This excitement could still cover up everything.
"I just felt a little uncomfortable in the past two days. I went to the hospital for a check-up and found out that I was...but now I don't feel any discomfort anymore!"
Chu Huan smiled and said: "This place is too small. I have already told Xu Yi that we will move to Repulse Bay later. In addition, Xu Yi has also contacted the doctors and nurses at the hospital.
Then they will stay there and take care of you!"
Zhao Yazhi nodded. Although the villa in Beacon Hill was much better than the so-called thousand-foot mansions in Xiangjiang, if Chu Huan's instructions were followed, the room would definitely not be enough. And now that she was pregnant, her parents would also have to move here.
to accompany oneself.
Then Chu Huan said to Lin Qingxia: "You should also move to Repulse Bay. The place for you to live has been arranged there. It is better to be next door to Azhi to save you trouble in the future!"
Miao Kexiu lives in Mid-Levels, so there is no need to move.
"I know!" Lin Qingxia said with a smile, but when her eyes fell on Zhao Yazhi, she was still envious!
Soon the convoy arrived at the Beacon Hill Villa. In fact, everyone had nothing to pack. This was not a move for ordinary people, who had to take all their belongings to a new residence, but the move of Chu Huan's woman, who was in Repulse Bay.
The villas nearby actually have everything they need, from clothes to furniture and other daily necessities, so Zhao Yazhi and Lin Qingxia only need to bring some of their own personal clothing.
"Brother Huan, what are you going to do?"
Guan Zhilin, who was already 17 years old at this time, walked out of his home and saw Chu Huan and his party preparing to leave, and then asked curiously.
Chu Huan smiled and said: "Your sister Azhi is pregnant, and this place is not suitable to take care of her, so I asked them to move to Repulse Bay."
Guan Zhilin immediately hugged Zhao Yazhi excitedly and shouted excitedly: "Sister Azhi, are you pregnant? Congratulations, congratulations!"
Zhao Yazhi rubbed Guan Zhilin's head and smiled: "Thank you!"
Guan Zhilin looked at Chu Huan at this time and asked: "Brother Huan, it's summer vacation. Can I follow you to Repulse Bay to stay for a while?"
Chu Huan smiled indifferently: "I have no objection, as long as your father agrees!"
Guan Zhilin waved her hands and said nonchalantly: "Tsk, he doesn't have time to care about me. Now he is spending time with his new girlfriend!"
Chu Huan smiled and said nothing more.
In this way, the group arrived at a villa in Repulse Bay.
"By the way, do you still have a job now?" Chu Huan asked Zhao Yazhi. There are too many uncertainties in the actor industry. Chu Huan will definitely not let Zhao Yazhi work at this time again.
Already.
Zhao Yazhi nodded and said: "Yes, we are filming a company movie."
Chu Huan said: "Okay, let's stop this work for now and talk about it later!"
Zhao Yazhi said with some worry: "But this movie is already halfway through filming. If we stop now, there will still be some losses to the company!"
Chu Huan said nonchalantly: "It doesn't matter, it's just a small matter!"
After finishing speaking, Chu Huan called Fang Jianhui, told him about Zhao Yazhi's situation, and asked him to handle the matter.
Fang Jianhui naturally had no problems and said with a smile: "Chairman, don't worry, this is a big deal, just let Azhi have a good rest at home!"
The two hung up the phone.
After having dinner with them and chatting with Zhao Yazhi for a while, Chu Huan decided to leave tonight.
"I haven't told grandma about this yet. I'll stay with you tomorrow!" Chu Huan said to Zhao Yazhi.
Zhao Yazhi nodded obediently.
Regarding Zhao Yazhi's pregnancy, Chu Huan had no intention of announcing it to the outside world, and also told Zhao Yazhi and others not to deliberately publicize this matter to the outside world.
Zhao Yazhi must be a little disappointed in her heart, but she also understood that she could not disobey Chu Huan on this matter, so she could only nod.
"Don't worry, this child will have everything he deserves in the future. I just don't want him to live in the spotlight!"
"Well, I understand, Brother Huan, don't worry, I won't think too much about it!"
Chu Huan nodded and said with a smile: "I will ask Yun Shang to come and see you tomorrow!"
At this time, Chu Shifeng's hundred-day banquet had passed, and Cao Yunshang naturally no longer cared about whether Chu Huan's other women were pregnant.
"Um!"
After leaving here, Chu Huan first went to Mid-Levels and told Mrs. Wu and others about Zhao Yazhi's pregnancy who had moved back.
After hearing the news, Mrs. Wu was naturally happy. She didn't care who conceived the child, as long as it was Chu Huan's father!
Mrs. Wu immediately said that she would go to Repulse Bay to visit Zhao Yazhi tomorrow, and Chu Huan naturally had no objection to this!
After chatting with Mrs. Wu for a while, Chu Huan returned to No. 12 Mount Caleb Road and told Cao Yunshang about the incident. Cao Yunshang hugged Chu Shifeng, nodded and said, "Well, I'll go take a look tomorrow.
Azhi!"
In the following days, although Chu Huan decided not to announce the matter to the public, half of the filming of Zhao Yazhi's movie was suddenly stopped, which still aroused many people's speculation.
But just when everyone was speculating on whether the matter was true or not, word spread in Xiangjiang that Hehe International-Wheelock would build the Huangpu Commercial Center on the former site of the Huangpu Dockyard!
