Chu Huan looked at Zhu Xiaozhao happily and confirmed: "Really?"
Zhu Xiaozhao nodded happily, "I've gone to the Sanatorium and Hospital for a checkup and it's confirmed!"
Chu Huan stood up excitedly, and then said to Zhu Xiaozhao: "Then you can raise my baby well at home from now on..."
"But the company wants to acquire Kwong Sang Bank!" Zhu Xiaozhao said quickly when he saw that Chu Huan wanted him to raise the baby at home.
Chu Huan waved her hand and said domineeringly: "Just leave this matter to Li Tianying and Du Huilian. Li Tianying takes so much money from the company every year, and this is the time when she is needed to do something."
Seeing Chu Huan's attitude, Zhu Xiaozhao finally nodded happily and said, "I listen to Brother Huan!"
Chu Huan then called Bao Tianming, Chen Haichao, and Liu Pingkui, and told the three of them about Zhu Xiaozhao's pregnancy. As soon as the three heard about it, they immediately said that they would put down their relationships and come here.
Then Chu Huan called Yunhai Group and found Li Tianying directly, asking her to come to No. 12 Mount Galley Road too!
Finally, Chu Huan called Xu Yi and asked her to contact the doctors and nurses at the Sanatorium and Hospital. She was now staying in Zhu Xiaozhao's villa and taking care of Zhu Xiaozhao's condition 24 hours a day.
After arranging everything, Chu Huan returned to Zhu Xiaozhao and said to her with a smile: "Is there anything in particular you want to eat? I'll ask the kitchen to prepare it for you?"
Zhu Xiaozhao said shyly: "I want to eat wife cake?"
"Haha!" Chu Huan said with a smile: "Isn't this simple?"
While talking, Chu Huan called the bodyguard room and asked Han Yang to buy wife cakes.
At this time, Cao Yunshang came back. Seeing Chu Huan and Zhu Xiaozhao looking happy, he asked curiously: "What's going on? Are you so happy?"
Chu Huanxiao pointed at Zhu Xiaozhao and said: "Xiaozhao is pregnant!"
Cao Yunshang immediately smiled after hearing this, "Really?"
"Yeah!" Zhu Xiaozhao looked a little embarrassed at this time.
Regarding this Cao Yunshang, she naturally knew why Zhu Xiaozhao was embarrassed, but everyone has relatives and alienated friends, and Cao Yunshang was no exception.
Compared with Zhao Yazhi, Lin Qingxia and others, although Cao Yunchang treats everyone equally, it is different only in Zhu Xiaozhao. First, because Chu Huan and Zhu Xiaozhao grew up together since childhood, Cao Yunchang understands that Chu Huan
The relationship between Zhu Xiaozhao and Zhu Xiaozhao.
The second reason is that the Yunhai Group that Zhu Xiaozhao is now in charge of has the potential to be a large consortium that is not weaker than the Imperial Fashion Group. Zhu Xiaozhao also has this status that Cao Yunshang takes seriously.
"I think it's better to let Xiao Zhao move here. The people here are experienced and can take better care of Xiao Zhao!" Cao Yunshang said to Chu Huan.
Zhu Xiaozhao didn't wait for Chu Huan to speak at this time, and said hurriedly: "No, it's fine for me to live there, and Brother Huan has also arranged for people from the hospital to live in the villa. If you go to trouble again, you won't be able to live there."
alright!"
Chu Huan smiled and said to Cao Yunshang: "Just do what Xiao Zhao said!"
Seeing that both Chu Huan and Zhu Xiaozhao had this attitude, Cao Yunshang said nothing.
Not long after, Bao Tianming, Chen Haichao, and Liu Pingkui arrived at No. 12 Mount Galley Road. From the smiles on their faces, it could be seen that they were very happy about Zhu Xiaozhao's pregnancy.
After waiting for a while, Li Tianying also came to the villa and saw Chu Huan and Zhu Xiaozhao, but did not see Chen Haichao and others.
Li Tianying naturally knew that Zhu Xiaozhao was planning to acquire Guangsheng Bank, but now she heard that Zhu Xiaozhao was pregnant, and she was also surprised and surprised.
"Xiao Zhao, don't worry, I will definitely handle the acquisition of Guangsheng Bank beautifully for you!"
Li Tianying promised Zhu Xiaozhao a guaranteed vote!
Zhu Xiaozhao smiled and said: "Of course I believe you. By the way, Brother Huan has also found someone to help with this matter, but it will take a few days for this person to show up. Then Brother Huan will introduce you to him!"
Li Tianying nodded, smiled with Chu Huan and said, "Director Chu, thank you in advance for this matter!"
After the three chatted about the details for a while, Li Tianying left, while Zhu Xiaozhao stayed at No. 12 Mount Galley Road with Chen Haichao, Bao Tianming, and Liu Pingkui. After dinner, Chu Huan personally handed Zhu Xiaozhao
He was sent back to her residence and stayed there.
In the following days, Chu Huan basically lived in four places: Zhao Yazhi's residence in Repulse Bay, Xiao Zhaoda's residence in Mid-Levels, No. 12 Galley Road, and the company.
By mid-August, Du Huilian finally completed his resignation from Weida Securities, and then, under the leadership of Xu Yi, went to Volkswagen International Investment and served as the president there.
"How's it going? Are you still used to the new company atmosphere?"
At this time, Du Huilian was sitting in Chu Huan's office, but sitting here with Du Huilian was Li Tianying, the vice chairman of Yunhai Group.
Compared to the low-key Zhu Xiaozhao, Li Tianying is much more well-known in Xiangjiang. One of the main reasons is the relationship between Li Tianying and Guo Bingxiang.
The two are already married. As Guo Bingxiang's wife, coupled with her status as the vice chairman of Yunhai Group, Li Tianying is even responsible for some of the external liaison matters of Yunhai Group, so Li Tianying can also be said to be the leader in the Xiangjiang business community.
Famous!
It is precisely for this reason that when Du Huilian saw Li Tianying here, he was still a little confused.
But now that Chu Huan has not mentioned this matter, it is naturally difficult for Du Huilian to ask questions.
"It's good. I think I will get more used to it in the future!" Du Huilian replied to Chu Huan with a smile.
In any company, when an airborne leader appears, there will inevitably be situations where the original company is unfamiliar with, does not understand, or even resists him.
This was the case when Liang Risi came to TVB by air, and it is also the case when To Huilian airborne to Volkswagen International Investment.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Chu Huan naturally knew the situation Du Huilian was facing at this time, and said with a smile: "I think this process you are used to will definitely be very difficult, because
Now I need you to do things for the company!"
Du Huilian still remembers what Chu Huan told him before, that after he completes the handover of work, there will be things for him to do. Now it seems that this is a task to be assigned.
However, Du Huilian did not have any panic about this. Instead, he said eagerly: "Then please ask the chairman to assign tasks. Some people are used to letting the company's subordinates accept them little by little, but I prefer to be my boss."
When you achieve results, your subordinates worship you!"
Chu Huan smiled, pointed at Li Tianying next to him and said, "Doesn't this Director Li need my introduction?"
Du Huilian nodded and said with a smile: "Ms. Li Tianying, the vice chairman of Yunhai Group, I have already heard it like thunder!"
"Mr. Du!" Li Tianying also greeted Du Huilian with a smile. She came to Chu Huan's office earlier than Du Huilian. Naturally, she already knew from Chu Huan that she would assist Yunhai Group in acquiring Guangsheng in Xiangjiang.
The person doing it is none other than Du Huilian, who was once famous in the Hong Kong securities industry.
"Yunhai Group has decided to acquire Guangsheng Bank in Xiangjiang. This matter will be assisted by Volkswagen International Investment. This is your first task after joining Volkswagen International Investment!"
Chu Huan told Du Huilian about the acquisition of Guangsheng Bank!
This also made Du Huilian show a shocked look again. Although Yunhai Group is low-key in Hong Kong, it is not unknown. On the contrary, the mystery of this consortium has become a matter of private discussion among many businessmen in Hong Kong. Now his boss told
Do you want to help Yunhai Group acquire Kwong Sang Bank?
Kwong Sang Hong has been in Hong Kong for more than 70 years. Although the descendants of the Feng family seem to be a lot more conservative in running Kwong Sang Hong now, Kwong Sang Hong is one of the oldest companies in Hong Kong after all.
Yunhai Group, Guangsheng Bank, and Jiaku are all connected. It is really impossible not to surprise Du Huilian.
If only Yunhai Group acquired Guangsheng Bank, Du Huilian would not be so surprised, but now it is Chu Huan who has stepped forward to help Yunhai Group acquire Guangsheng Bank.
There are really too many things that Du Huilian doesn't understand.
However, as a subordinate of Chu Huan, no matter how strong this incomprehension was, Du Huilian would not ask excessive questions if Chu Huan did not explain the reason.
Li Tianying smiled and talked to Du Huilian: "Mr. Du, this matter is troublesome for you. Our company hopes that you can take some time out in the past two days and go to our Yunhai Building. Then we will discuss the details."
Yunhai Group also has its own headquarters building, which is also located in Central, Hong Kong. This building is actually the original Madden Building on Pedder Street in Central.
Li Tianying also knew from Chu Huan that Chu Huan had other things to say when he met Du Huilian today, so Li Tianying didn't say much after meeting Du Huilian here!
Du Huilian nodded and said: "Okay, I will go to Yunhai Building tomorrow!"
Li Tianying stood up and smiled and said to Chu Huan: "Director Chu, if there is nothing else, I will go back first. Director Zhu still has a lot of work left for us to do!"
Chu Huan nodded and let Li Tianying leave!
Seeing such a conversation, Du Huilian always felt as if he had guessed something, but he had no evidence.
After Li Tianying left, Chu Huan did not say anything about Yunhai Group to Du Huilian. Although Chu Huan did not mind the outside world knowing about the relationship between Yunhai Group and herself, he did not want to over-publicize it.
"In addition to the matters related to Guang Sang Hong, there are two other things that Public International Investment needs to do!"
Du Huilian was a little excited. He had just started to serve as the president of Volkswagen International Investment, and Chu Huan had already begun to arrange important tasks for himself. This only showed that Chu Huan attached great importance to the company of Volkswagen International Investment.
"Chairman, please speak!"
Chu Huan took out a document on his desk, handed it to Du Huilian, and said: "This contains information about Yongan Group. I remember what you told me before we last met, Al
In fact, Commerzbank's Xiangjiang Branch and Bank of East Asia still have many areas that they have not paid attention to. The insurance industry is one of them. At the same time, the number of branches in Xiangjiang of the two banks is not enough, so I hope that under your leadership, Yongan Group can be included in the revenue.
By then, Yongan Group’s business will be able to supplement our two banks!”
Du Huilian was shocked when he took the Yong'an Group's information from Chu Huan's hands. In fact, Du Huilian had a very clear understanding of Yong'an Group without looking at the information in his hand.
In the early days, before Japanese department stores entered Xiangjiang, there were four major department stores in Xiangjiang, namely Wing On, Xian Shi, Da Sun, and Hua Department Store!
Yongan and Xianshi are also the largest among the four department stores.
The founders of Wing On Department Store were Australian overseas Chinese Guo Le and Guo Quan, two brothers who founded it in Xiangjiang in 1907. In 1915, the Kuok brothers founded Wing On Water and Fire Insurance Company, and ten years later they founded Wing On Life Insurance Company. At that time, their business covered the mainland.
Major cities and Southeast Asian countries, in 1931, the Kuok brothers founded Wing On Bank!
Like many Chinese businessmen, the Kwok brothers began to hoard land in Hong Kong after making the Wing On Group bigger. According to the time when the Kwok brothers were in charge of the Wing On Group, the Wing On Group purchased more than 200 properties all over Des Voeux Road West on Hong Kong Island.
, Costar Road, Kebu Dayan, Village Road in Happy Valley, Nathan Road in Kowloon Peninsula, Wusong Street in Yau Ma Tei, Ho Man Tin, Fa Yuen Street, etc.
These real estate properties will all appreciate significantly in the future, laying a solid asset foundation for the development of Yongan Group.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! By the mid-1930s, the Kwok Wing On Group entered its heyday, with as many as 15 associated and affiliated companies spread across Hong Kong, Australia and mainland China.
Among them, Yongan Company located in Shenghai has become the largest department store in China, and Shenghai Yongan Textile Co., Ltd. has become a large-scale textile enterprise group with all-round spinning, weaving, printing and dyeing, second only to Rongjia in scale.
Shenxin Textile ranks second in the country.
At that time, the power and influence of the Kuok Wing On Group could be said to be the leader among Chinese businessmen.
The Rong family also received help from the Guo family. During the war, the Rong family's Shen Xin Group encountered financial difficulties. Shenghai's creditors sued the Shen Xin company one after another. The Rong family therefore came to Xiangjiang to seek help from Lu Yunsheng and the Yong'an Guo family.
Lu Yunsheng and the Guo brothers wrote to Shenghai's creditors, suggesting that debts be cleared only after the war, and said: "We have nothing to say about Shen Xinzuo's economic sanctions, and we will be friends forever... Yong'an agrees with this."
As a result, Shenghai's creditors withdrew their charges one after another.
The words of the Yong'an Guo family have the same weight as "eldest brother" Lu Yunsheng. People from all over the world, both black and white, have to give some face to the horse, and the reputation of the Yong'an Guo family can be seen from this.
Unfortunately, like many companies in Hong Kong, the Yong'an Guo family also suffered heavy losses during the Japanese occupation of Hong Kong. When the founder of Yongan, Guo Quan, passed away in the 1960s, Yongan's investment strategy gradually became conservative. In addition to continuing to operate department stores and insurance
, in addition to banking business, they began to sell off their properties in Xiangjiang. By the time the real estate industry in Xiangjiang began to develop, it was natural that the Yongan Guo family had not kept up with the times.
In addition, in 1973, the Wing On Kwok family converted the Wing On Department Store building located between Central and Sheung Wan into a modern commercial building, the Wing On Center, through stock splits, bonus shares and rights issues to raise funds.
After the Hong Kong stock market crash and interest rate increases, the development costs of Wing On Center were higher than expected, and the rental income after completion was lower than expected, causing Wing On Group to suffer another heavy blow.
At this time, the main assets of Yongan Group are the wholly-owned Yongan Real Estate Securities Investment Co., Ltd., Yongan Life Insurance Company, which holds 75%, Yongan Water and Fire Insurance Company, which holds 72.89%, Yongan Bank, which owns 30% of the shares, and Yongan Bank, which owns 20.19%.
Yongan Company, and Yongyuan Real Estate, which owns 30% of the shares.
Among them, Yongan Company is the parent company of Yongan Department Store, which is also a listed company!
Chu Huan is now setting his sights on Yongan Group, which is actually to further expand his industry in Xiangjiang.
Wing On Bank can be merged into the Bank of East Asia. Although the size of the Bank of East Asia still cannot catch up with Hang Seng Bank, it will at least allow the Bank of East Asia to have more branches and expand its scale. The previous development of the Bank of East Asia was too conservative. Although
This allowed Bank of East Asia to avoid numerous bank runs, but it also limited the development of Bank of East Asia.
The insurance business can increase the scale of Bank of East Asia and Alder Commercial Bank Xiangjiang Branch in the insurance industry in Xiangjiang. In the future, they can even use Xiangjiang as a base to enter markets in other regions, including their hometown, Japan, Europe and the United States!
Wing On Department Store can complement Yunhai Group and ensure Yunhai Group's position among large department stores in Hong Kong.
After all, Yunhai Department Store now owns Seibu Department Store and Hua Department Store in Xiangjiang, and now it has acquired Wing On Department Store, and it can become the leader among department stores in Xiangjiang!
As for their land, properties and other assets, they can be supplemented to Zhulu Real Estate.
Therefore, the acquisition of Yongan Group is a very important matter for Chu Huan.
In fact, it was not just Chu Huan who was concerned about Yongan Group. Zheng Jiachun, who served as the managing director of New World in another time and space, also initiated the acquisition of Yongan Group in the late 1980s. However, the Guo family was united at that time and finally forced Zheng Jiachun to retreat.
acquisition.
This acquisition battle was later recorded in the business history of Xiangjiang.
The problems faced by Zheng Jiachun are actually the same problems that Du Huilian will encounter now when he acquires Yongan Group.
"Chairman, the resistance to the acquisition of Yongan Group is much greater than the resistance to the acquisition of Guangsheng Bank. Although the Guo family has a large population, as far as I know, their family is relatively united, and Yongan Group is their family business.
, now if there is news that we want to acquire Yongan Group, not to mention the financial problems, it will probably lead to a great unity of the Guo family, and they will definitely unite to fight against our acquisition!"
Chu Huan smiled and said: "If it were easy to acquire, I wouldn't ask you to be the president of Volkswagen International Investment!"
Du Huilian pondered for a moment and said: "Chairman, I think the acquisition of Guangsheng Bank is very promising, but I really don't dare to vouch for you about the Yong'an Group. I can only say that I will do my best."
Come and do this!”
Chu Huan also understood the difficulty of acquiring Yongan Group and said with a smile: "As long as you try your best, I can see it."
"Thank you, Chairman!" Du Huilian said seriously.
Chu Huan continued: "Okay, this matter has been discussed. After you return to the company, you can formulate your own acquisition plan, and then calculate an acquisition budget. Then I will ask Jiaku to allocate funds to you!"
Du Huilian nodded and said: "Yes!"
"Okay, let's move on to the third thing today!" Chu Huan said.
Du Huilian thought that Chu Huan also wanted to acquire other companies, and he couldn't help but be surprised. Is Jiaku going to start a crazy acquisition mode in Xiangjiang this year?
"Chairman, please speak!"
Chu Huan said: "The third thing is much simpler. I am going to allocate 1 billion Hong Kong dollars in cash to Volkswagen International Investment, and this billion Hong Kong dollars will be used by you to invest in some Chinese companies that are currently developing in Hong Kong.
For small companies, Jiaku previously conducted a survey on the development of some small and medium-sized companies in Hong Kong, and finally found some companies with development potential. The list is here. I hope you can use this billion Hong Kong dollars to become their company's leader.
shareholder!"
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! It is not an acquisition, it is an investment!
But Du Huilian still didn't think this matter was easy to handle, and at the same time he didn't doubt Jiaku's analysis. After all, Jiaku's ability in Xiangjiang was well known, and his intelligence reserve was the best in the world!
However, since these companies have development potential, they do not necessarily need Jiaku's funds, because this will very likely cause their founders to lose control of their companies.
No founder of a company wants to lose control of the company.
"Chairman, what if these companies are unwilling to accept our investment?" Du Huilian asked tentatively.
Chu Huan sat on the sofa with a smile on his face and said: "If they are unwilling to accept it, they can only find their competitive partners for investment!"
I understand, either I will be ordered to peace by Jiaku, or I will be killed by Jiaku!
This is Chu Huan's attitude on this matter.
At this time, Chu Huan handed Du Huilian a piece of paper with the names of many companies densely written on it.
After seeing the names of these companies, Du Huilian finally understood what Chu Huan meant. The names on this piece of paper were all over companies in all walks of life in Hong Kong. If one of the companies grows up, then Chu Huan will be in the future.
Unsurprisingly, Chu Huan firmly sits in the position of the godfather of the business community in Xiangjiang. No one and no force can have any influence on Chu Huan's dominance in Xiangjiang.
"I understand, Chairman, you will not be disappointed in this matter!" Du Huilian said seriously.
Although this money is not easy to spend, it is still far less difficult than acquiring Yongan Group.
If Jiaku is compared to the ancient imperial court, then in Du Huilian's mind, Jiaku at this time is the Tang Dynasty in its heyday, manipulating vertically and horizontally, invincible!
As for these companies, no matter they have development potential, in front of Jiaku at this time, they can at best be regarded as local gangsters.
Under the strong crushing force of Jiaku, they had no choice but to be recruited, otherwise they would be wiped out!
Chu Huan smiled. Although the real estate industry and the financial industry are the mainstream in Xiangjiang in later generations, it does not mean that there are no other industrial companies in Xiangjiang. Although they all operate the real estate industry to a greater or lesser extent, they also have their own masters.
As long as this plan is completed, Chu Huan's Jiaku will truly control all industries in Xiangjiang.
"Very good, I will go to North America in the next two days. If there is anything that cannot be settled, you can go to Xu Yi. I will let Xu Yi fully cooperate with your actions in Xiangjiang!"
In Los Angeles, there is indeed a matter that is still waiting for Chu Huan to deal with. Although the matter is not big and it is not something that will affect the company's business scale, Chu Huan still has to go there. After all, it involves Chu Huan.
Huan’s personal hobbies and the development of Nike.
Nowadays, the four major college leagues in Xiangjiang have begun to be held, and they have achieved the results Chu Huan wanted. Nike has become the most popular sporting goods in Xiangjiang, but this is not enough.
Just one Xiangjiang cannot satisfy Nike's market demand. Nike's target company at this time will always be Adidas, not others!
Du Huilian nodded and said: "Understood!"
Now that the instructions were finished, Chu Huan let Du Huilian leave. After all, the three tasks he assigned to Du Huilian were not easy to complete. This time, Du Huilian was very busy.
After Du Huilian left, Xu Yi came to Chu Huan's office.
Chu Huan first told Xu Yi about Du Huilian's situation, and then said to Xu Yi: "The acquisition of Yong'an Bank is just in case. The most important thing for you during this time is to discuss the acquisition of their business in the Far East with Wanguo Baotong Bank."
The matter of bank shares!”
After completing the acquisition of Bank of East Asia, Chu Huan already understood that if he wanted Jiaku's banking industry to complete its layout in Hong Kong, it would need to acquire more banks, so as to avoid losing the Bank of East Asia's own development capabilities.
time needed.
Moreover, Far East Bank actually has another advantage that Chu Huan needs, and that is Far East Bank's influence in the Hong Kong New Territories.
Several major factories in Jia Ku are now in the New Territories. Although there is also an HSBC branch in Huaye City... The Bank of East Asia Huaye City branch is also under renovation, but according to Jia Ku's survey, New Territories residents
More people still want to trust Far East Bank, their local bank in the New Territories.
This is true even for workers in several major factories in Jiaku.
Therefore, the necessity of acquiring Far East Bank has been raised several levels by Chu Huan, not because of Far East Bank's size, but because of Far East Bank's geographical advantages!
Xu Yi nodded and said: "I have already contacted Wanguo Baotong Bank, and they are no longer as resistant to this matter as before. However, according to my observation, their current mood is a bit tangled. Firstly, they are not as resistant to this matter as before.
I still have some illusions about this matter, and secondly, I also want to get more acquisition funds from our hands!"
This is a disadvantage of Jiaku's huge influence in Xiangjiang. Everyone knows that you are rich, so they all want to get more money from you when making acquisitions!
Chu Huan smiled and said: "I don't ask about the process, I just want the result!"
