A few days later, at Jardine's headquarters, Newbijian and Bao Fuda sat together, looking at each other, and they all saw doubts in each other's eyes.
Regarding the Wharf acquisition war, it is actually like the duel between two peerless masters in martial arts novels. If it is more precise, it is actually the decisive battle between Ximen Chuixue and Ye Gucheng at the top of Bauhinia.
In Newbijian's view, now that they have taken action, Bao Yugang should also respond, but now there is no movement from the other party, which makes Newbijian feel that their previous actions were like hitting cotton.
, it has no effect.
"What exactly does Bao Yugang want to do?"
Newbijian couldn't help but asked Bao Fuda.
Bao Fuda shook his head, with a look of confusion on his face, and said: "I don't understand. Could it be that the other party thought that the 27% of Wharf shares in our hands would not affect his status as the largest shareholder of Wharf, so there was no reaction?"
Newbijian said: "That's not possible. According to our calculations, Bao Yugang's holdings are at most 32% of Wharf's shares, which is only 5% more than ours. With this gap, if we suddenly have an acquisition climax,
It will be easy to make up for it if it comes out!"
Bao Fuda continued his analysis: "That's because Bao Yugang didn't have that much cash in his hands, so he understood that now was not the time to officially start a war with us, so he didn't take action!"
Niubijian still shook his head and said: "This is unlikely. Although Bao Yugang does not have much cash in his hands, according to Bao Yugang's relationship with HSBC and Chu Huan, it is still very easy to borrow a sum of money!"
Bao Fuda said: "But interest must be paid on this money. Maybe Bao Yugang doesn't want to pay this interest?"
Niubijian said: "Compared with that little interest, I think the acquisition of Wharf is more important to Bao Yugang. Otherwise, Bao Yugang would not have been selling the oil tankers in his hands now!"
Since entering 1979, Bao Yugang has adjusted his group's development plan and began to sell off Global Shipping's oil tankers at incredibly low prices!
Bao Fuda thought for a moment, shook his head and said: "I can't figure out what Bao Yugang is going to do now!"
Niubijian was silent for a moment and then said: "Do you think Bao Yugang is waiting for us to take the initiative to contact him?"
Bao Fuda obviously misunderstood what Newbijian meant and asked: "It is impossible for us to give up Wharf. If he wants to wait for us to take the initiative to contact him, that is impossible!"
Niubijian shook his head and said: "You misunderstood me. I meant that maybe in Bao Yugang's heart, there is something that can replace Wharf?"
Bao Fuda looked at Newbijian in surprise.
Then Niubijian expressed his guess, and his guess was actually what Bao Yugang told Su Haiwen and Wu Guangzheng before. Can he look for it in the properties currently held by Land?
To properties that can replace Wharf stocks!
"If that's the case, it's not something you and I can decide on!"
Bao Fuda didn't know how to judge Newbijian's analysis. Although he thought this matter was impossible, after thinking about it carefully, he felt that it was slightly possible!
But no matter what, such a major matter is definitely not something that these two senior workers can decide.
Newbijian said: "I need to report this to Mr. Keswick!"
Bao Fuda nodded in agreement with Niubijian's meaning!
.
As long as the Wharf acquisition war has not reached the point of bayonets seeing red, Chu Huan will not end it personally, so at this time Chu Huan is still continuing his business planning step by step. Today, Chu Huan made an appointment at Lu Yu Tea House in Central
Feng Wanju, the boss of Guangsheng Bank.
Feng Wanju is over sixty years old. He is wearing a suit and holding a civilized stick in his hand. He looks very fashionable.
"Director Chu, long time no see!"
Feng Wanju greeted Chu Huan very politely.
Chu Huan smiled and said: "Feng Weng, please sit down. I just ordered a pot of Pu'er. I hope Feng Weng likes it!"
"Haha!" Feng Wanju laughed, feeling a little proud in his heart. Although the Feng family can be considered a time-honored brand in Xiangjiang, at this moment in Xiangjiang, there are only a few people who can be treated like this by Chu Huan.
"I like it, and if I can drink tea with Director Chu, I will like it even more!"
After the two exchanged pleasantries, Chu Huan said to Feng Wanju straight to the point: "Feng Weng, I invite you to come here this time. To be honest, I have something to ask Feng Weng!"
Feng Wanju was not surprised by this. Although he and Chu Huan had met at several business gatherings, and he also attended the 100-day banquet of Chu Huan's son Chu Shifeng, it was impossible to say that there was any connection between the two parties.
Coupled with Chu Huan's attitude just now, Feng Wanju was convinced that there must be something to do when Chu Huan met with him in person this time.
Just looking at Chu Huan's current attitude, Feng Wanju's only hope is that Chu Huan's request won't be too excessive.
He didn't want anything unpleasant to happen to Chu Huan.
Now who doesn’t know that Chu Huan is all about politics and business in Xiangjiang!
"No matter what Chairman Chu says, as long as I can do it, there will definitely be no problem!" Feng Wanju said grandly.
Chu Huan smiled and said: "The thing is like this. A friend of mine is very optimistic about the situation of Guangsheng Bank, so he hopes to acquire Feng Weng's Guangsheng Bank. Of course, the price will definitely satisfy Feng Weng!"
Feng Wanju's expression was a little complicated. Although Chu Huan had not yet said the name of Yunhai Group at this time, Feng Wanju had already guessed that the friend Chu Huan was talking about must be Yunhai Group.
Feng Wanju is still very curious about the mysterious Yunhai Group. The mystery of this retail group's emergence in Xiangjiang, the mystery of its development, and the mystery of its power.
Before, Guo Desheng came forward to speak for Yunhai Group, and Feng Wanju could understand it. After all, Li Tianying, the general manager of Yunhai Group, is Guo Desheng's daughter-in-law. There was even a period of time when businessmen in Xiangjiang believed that Yunhai Group and Sun Hung Kai Properties had a certain relationship.
connect.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Now Chu Huan suddenly appeared to speak for Yunhai Group, which made Feng Wanju curious.
"Director Chu, are you speaking for Guo Desheng?"
In the end, Feng Wanju could only guess this way. After all, everyone in Xiangjiang knew that Chu Huan and Guo Desheng had a very good relationship. Before, Guo Desheng came out to ask him about Guangsheng Bank, but he never replied. Now Chu Huan came forward to talk about this matter.
, Feng Wanju believed that Chu Huan was saying it for Guo Desheng, it was just a matter of fact, and it was not unexpected!
Chu Huan smiled and said: "I have a very good relationship with the chairman of Yunhai Group, and I discussed this matter with Feng Weng on her behalf. Of course, if Feng Weng can give me this face, our Jiaku will definitely remember it."
Feng Weng’s help this time!”
The questions in Feng Wanju's heart did not diminish with Chu Huan's explanation, but became more.
Chu Huan is actually related to the chairman of the mysterious Yunhai Group, and he also made such a solemn promise to himself for Yunhai Group to acquire Guangsheng Bank. This is really strange!
Feng Wanju pondered for a moment and couldn't help asking: "Director Chu, Guo Desheng told me about this matter before. My answer is that it needs to be considered. Now Director Chu has also personally intervened in this matter, and he has also made such a decision.
Solemn promise. Logically speaking, I should give you an immediate reply, Mr. Chu, but this matter is really important to our Feng family. You also know that Guangsheng Bank is the ancestral business of our Feng family. If possible, we
I really don’t want to give up my ancestral heritage!”
Chu Huan was determined. Although the other party said so, Chu Huan already understood that the other party actually wanted to sell Guangsheng Bank. This was the same information that Jiaku had obtained. Although Feng Wanju inherited Guangsheng Bank, he still wanted to sell it.
In fact, he doesn't care much about the development of Guang Sang Hong. His real focus is to have some development in the political circle, not only for him, but also for his descendants!
I’m just saying this now in the hope of getting more benefits!
"I heard that Feng Weng has always wanted to enter the Legislative Council and become an unofficial member. If Feng Weng has an idea, I will be playing golf with Mr. MacLehose, the Governor of Hong Kong, in the next two days. Maybe Mr. MacLehose will
Give me this face!"
Feng Wanju's breathing was a little heavy. Although Feng Wanju's Feng family was considered a famous family in Xiangjiang, its influence was still limited. Being an unofficial member of the Legislative Council had always been what Feng Wanju had expected, but it had always been
Couldn't find a better opportunity.
Now if Chu Huan is willing to come forward and help speak, then...that's not right. Although the relationship between Chu Huan and the Hong Kong government began to ease after Chu Shifeng's Hundred Days Banquet, the Hong Kong government really
Will you give Chu Huan this face?
"I heard that there is some misunderstanding between Director Chu and the Hong Kong government. Will it embarrass Director Chu if I specifically tell Mr. Hong Kong Governor about this matter about me?"
Chu Huan heard Feng Wanju's worry and said with a smile: "Feng Weng can rest assured that the misunderstanding between our Jiaku and the Hong Kong government has long been settled, and my friendship with Mr. Hong Kong Governor is a personal relationship!
"
Feng Wanju looked happy and did not doubt Chu Huan's words, because Chu Huan would never lie about this kind of thing. Feng Wanju asked himself, if he were in Chu Huan's position, he would definitely not make such a mistake.
It’s a matter of worth!
Now that Chu Huan has explained this matter clearly, Chu Huan must be sure of this, otherwise not only will he be disappointed, but Chu Huan will also lose face!
"If this is the case, then I am really grateful to Director Chu!" Feng Wanju said happily.
"It's not troublesome, it's just a trivial matter!" Chu Huan said with a smile.
Feng Wanju lamented that something he had worked hard for a long time had no results, but now it was just a small thing in Chu Huan's mouth. This was really shocking!
"There is something I would like to ask Director Chu!" Feng Wanju did not make a decision, but continued to ask Chu Huan his questions.
Chu Huan was slightly dissatisfied. The status of an unofficial member of the Legislative Council was enough to be exchanged for Guangzhou Shengxing in Feng Wanju's hands. After all, Feng Wanju's mind was not in business, but in politics, but now it was obvious to the other party that
Is it a bit too much?
However, Chu Huan did not show this dissatisfaction, but said with a smile: "Feng Weng, just ask, you can't ask for advice!"
Feng Wanju asked: "I know that Director Chu has a very close relationship with his hometown, so I want to ask Director Chu what his hometown thinks about the future of Xiangjiang, and whether the future of Xiangjiang will continue to be present.
Will this kind of life now change the status quo?"
There is a long-term perspective in the business world, and the same is true in the political world. Since Feng Wanju wants to make a difference in the political world, he must pay attention to the general trend, and for Xiangjiang, the most important general trend is actually
This is how my hometown views Xiangjiang.
Although I may not be able to wait until that time, my children can. As long as I can become an unofficial member of the Hong Kong Legislative Council, I can lead the Feng family to transform from a business celebrity to a political celebrity!
Therefore, for the long-term development of the family, Feng Wanju hopes to learn from Chu Huan what his hometown thinks of Xiangjiang!
Chu Huan pondered for a while and said: "I believe that Xiangjiang will definitely return to the embrace of his hometown, but there is no result yet, so I can't give a definite answer, but I think whether Xiangjiang returns
, it’s better to keep the status quo. What you have to do at this time, Feng Weng, should be to maintain the current situation in Xiangjiang and develop your own career. Of course, if things change in the future, I can also use my relationship to help Zheng Weng.
Get some help!”
There is absolutely an inevitable connection between Yunhai Group and Chu Huan!
This is a definite answer that Feng Wanju came up with after listening to Chu Huan's answer.
If Jiaku's promise just now could make Feng Wanju accept that Chu Huan was standing up for his friend, then this promise now is no longer a simple friendship between friends.
If there is no immediate interest relationship, such a situation is impossible!
"Haha, since Director Chu has said so, I naturally have nothing to say. If Director Chu has time, I would like to meet with Miss Zhu Xiaozhao, the chairman of Yunhai Group, to discuss the details!"
At this time, Feng Wanju had no reason to refuse this matter anymore, especially after confirming the relationship between Yunhai Group and Chu Huan.
This is not to say that if Chu Huan takes action, Guangsheng Xing will definitely not be able to save it, but the sacrifice involved is not what Feng Wanju wants to see. Instead of fighting a battle that may be a disastrous victory or a disastrous defeat, it is better to follow one's heart.
sold Kwong Sang Bank to Yunhai Group.
This is a more suitable choice for Feng Wanju.
Chu Huan said with a smile: "Feng Weng may not be able to see Director Zhu now because she has some matters that are not in Xiangjiang. I can arrange for Li Tianying, the general manager of Yunhai Group, and Du Huilian of Volkswagen International Investment to contact Feng Weng at the same time.
Just discuss the specific details with them.
As for Zhu Dong, it’s not that she doesn’t pay attention to this matter, but because there are some things that she can’t get away from. Now I’m using tea instead of wine to apologize to Feng Weng on Zhu Dong’s behalf!”
Feng Wanju did not feel slighted, because at this time he was already convinced that there was an inevitable connection between Chu Huan and Yunhai Group, so now that Chu Huan came forward to tell him about this matter in person, he was actually giving himself enough face.
, As for whether Zhu Xiaozhao, chairman of Yunhai Group, will show up, it is not that important.
"Since Director Chu has said so, I naturally have no problem!"
Since then, the two have finalized the matter.
Then the two chatted for a few more words and then separated.
And Chu Huan also took a car directly to the headquarters of Yunhai Group, Yunhai Building!
"Director Chu, how are things going?"
Li Tianying and Du Huilian were both waiting for Chu Huan in Yunhai Building. When they saw Chu Huan coming back, they immediately stepped forward and asked.
Chu Huan sat on the sofa and said with a smile: "Feng Wanju has agreed to sell his shares in Guangsheng Bank, and the rest is up to you!"
Although Kwong Sang Hong belongs to the Fung family, in fact the Feng family is only the largest shareholder of Kwong Sang Hong. If Yunhai Group wants to complete the complete control of Kwong Sang Bank and delist it for privatization in the future, it needs to obtain
More shares of Kwong Sang Hong will do.
Du Huilian said with some embarrassment: "Chairman, you have helped us get this far with this matter. If we still can't handle the next thing, then we will really be sorry for you!"
Li Tianying also said: "Yes, Director Chu, thank you so much for what happened this time!"
Chu Huan smiled and said: "There is no need to say these polite words. I have already negotiated with Feng Wanju. You can figure out the rest by yourselves!"
After simply telling them about the matter, Chu Huan left Yunhai Group, came to Zhu Xiaozhao's residence, and told Zhu Xiaozhao the results of his negotiation with Feng Wanju.
"Thank you, Brother Huan!"
Zhu Xiaozhao leaned next to Chu Huan with a smile on his face.
Chu Huan smiled and said: "How is it? Are you feeling uncomfortable during this period?"
Zhu Xiaozhao shook his head and said with a smile: "No, everything is fine!"
Chu Huan rubbed Zhu Xiaozhao's head with satisfaction and said with a smile: "If you need anything, let the servants at home take care of it. This is the most important time!"
Zhu Xiaozhao nodded sweetly.
That night, Chu Huan stayed at Zhu Xiaozhao's residence. On the next day, Chu Huan went to see Zhao Yazhi again and stayed with Zhao Yazhi for a day.
In the next few days, when all the stock investors in Xiangjiang were paying attention to the stock price of Wharf, they suddenly discovered that the price of Kwong Sang Hong's stock, which had been as stable as an old dog in Xiangjiang, suddenly ushered in a surge. This made many
Everyone showed doubtful expressions.
Someone soon analyzed that this must be a company acquiring Guangsheng Hong. Just when everyone was speculating about which company was acquiring Guangsheng Hong, Yunhai Group and Guangsheng Hong issued a joint statement.
Yun Hai Group has reached a consensus with the Feng Wanju family, the largest shareholder of Guang Sang Bank, to acquire all the shares of the Feng family in Guang Sang Bank. In addition, Yun Hai Group has also reached a consensus with other members of the board of directors of Guang Sang Bank to acquire their shares in Guang Sang Bank.
of shares.
Since then, Yunhai Group has become the largest shareholder of Guangsheng Bank and officially started the process of delisting and privatization of Guangsheng Bank!
As soon as this news came out, it immediately caused quite a stir in Hong Kong. Although the scale of Kwong Sang Bank is not large in Hong Kong, it is still very important in the hearts of ordinary citizens in Hong Kong. Many nurses are
She transformed from a young girl into a nurse by applying cosmetics from Kwong Sang Hong.
No one thought that Guangsheng Bank would be acquired by Yunhai Group so quietly!
As for Yunhai Group, following this incident, it was mentioned again by many people in Xiangjiang.
Yunhai Group is such a mysterious company.
‘The well-deserved overlord of Xiangjiang’s retail industry!’--"True News"
"Zhen Bao" also published a report about Yun Hai Group at the right time at this time. In the report, "Zhen Bao" published the situation of Yun Hai Group in Hong Kong.
'Yunhai Group is a company full of mystery, but this does not prevent Yunhai Group from becoming the overlord of the retail industry in Xiangjiang. Today, Yunhai Convenience Store, the largest convenience store chain in Xiangjiang, is the flagship product of Yunhai Group. At this time, perhaps in Xiangjiang
You haven't seen Victoria Harbor, maybe you haven't been to the Peak, or you haven't even watched TVB, but you must have been to Yunhai Convenience Store.
In addition, Yunhai Group also acquired PARKnSHOP supermarkets from the former Hehe International. According to information obtained by this newspaper, the number of PARKnSHOP supermarkets in Hong Kong has surpassed Jardine's Wellcome supermarket, becoming the largest supermarket in Hong Kong.
, all the maids in Xiangjiang go crazy for the discounted products at ParknShop Supermarket every day.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! At the same time, Yunhai Group also acquired the two brands of Hua Department Store and Watsons from the former Hehe International.
And, the Xiangjiang Seibu Department Store acquired by the Zhang Yuliang family and the Japanese Seibu Department Store...
Secondly, Yunhai Group acquired Doll Noodles...
...Now, Yunhai Group has acquired Guang Sang Hong, and its businesses have spread across Hong Kong's retail, department store, food, beverage, warehousing, logistics, cosmetics, and even real estate industries.
It can be said that at this time, Yunhai Group is no longer weaker than any consortium in Xiangjiang...'
As soon as the "True News" report came out, it immediately caused an uproar in Xiangjiang. Everyone knew that there was a Yunhai Group in Xiangjiang, but because of its previous low profile, everyone didn't pay much attention to it. Now with the "True News"
The report also brought the Yunhai Group to the surface for the first time.
Let the whole of Xiangjiang know that there is such a super consortium hidden in their Xiangjiang.
But as the "True News" said, Yunhai Group has already dominated the retail industry in Hong Kong.
"Brother Huan, does such a report really have nothing to do with it?" Gu Chengxi was sitting on the sofa in Chu Huan's office, looking at Chu Huan with some worry.
"Would this go against the development strategy you had previously set for Yunhai Group, and would it also let more people know about your relationship with Yunhai Group?"
When the reporter of "Zhenbao" wrote this report, Gu Chengxi did not want to publish it, but after thinking about it in the end, he still showed the report to Chu Huan. After Chu Huan read it, he
There was no objection to this report being published in the newspaper.
"It doesn't matter!" Chu Huan smiled and shook his head: "And even if your "True News" doesn't report it, other newspapers will report it, not to mention that this report does not mention the relationship between Jiaku and Yunhai Group.
.
From now on, "True News" does not need to be so cautious in its reporting, as long as it is the same as other newspapers!"
There is an iron rule in the media industry in Xiangjiang, that is, Chu Huan's private life cannot be reported, especially the affairs of Chu Huan's women, let alone those of Chu Huan's women.
As for the rest, Chu Huan doesn't care. Of course, Chu Huan will also observe some things. For example, the current affairs between Jiaku and Jiuzhou Group will definitely not be reported by Chu Huan.
But this was all followed by people from the Investigation Department, so there was nothing for Gu Chengxi to worry about.
In this report, the Hua Department Store, PARKnSHOP Supermarket, Watsons and other companies mentioned by Yunhai Group in Hehe International were acquired. At that time, Hehe International had not yet been acquired by Jiaku.
In fact, Jiaku’s name was not included in the entire report.
As for those such as Feng Wanju who have already doubted the relationship between Jiaku and Yunhai Group, they will not tell others about this matter.
What's more, now that Feng Wan-ju has been nominated by Hong Kong Governor MacLehose, Feng Wan-ju will be appointed as one of the unofficial members of the Legislative Council during the next election.
Seeing that Chu Huan didn't care at all, Gu Chengxi said nothing, "Okay, I understand!"
.
Looking at the newspaper in his hand, Feng Wanju also sighed, "Who can defeat such Chu Huan in Xiangjiang?"
Jia Ku has the most wealth in Hong Kong, and the black and white media controls the public opinion in Hong Kong. Even if he wants to become an unofficial member of the Legislative Council, it is only a matter of Chu Huan's words.
"If Xiangjiang really changes in the future, based on the relationship between Chu Huan and his hometown, I am afraid that Chu Huan's status in the future will exceed the level that He Dong reached in the past!"
Once upon a time, when He Dong was still alive, the media in Hong Kong had a sixteen-character summary of He Dong: Rich in Xiangjiang, noble in body and life, luxuriant in branches and leaves, stingy and generous!
Isn't Chu Huan now rich and prosperous, with a noble life and luxuriant branches and leaves?
As for being stingy and generous, Feng Wanju definitely disagrees. Who in Xiangjiang doesn't know that Chu Huan is famous for his generosity? Otherwise, how could the Jiaku Clan have a tens of billions apartment plan!
The branches and leaves must be lush, after all, the whole Xiangjiang also knows that Chu Huan is a romantic person, surrounded by beautiful women, the branches and leaves will definitely be lush in the future.
"You have to throw away when comparing goods, and you will die when comparing people!"
Finally, Feng Wanju sighed like this.
.
Chu Huan didn't care about such comments, let alone the fact that he hadn't heard them. However, Yunhai Group's acquisition of Guangsheng Bank still caused some things that were detrimental to Chu Huan's plan.
It was during this period that all the media in Hong Kong were paying attention to the Yunhai Group and ignored the Wharf takeover battle. This also caused Wharf's stock price to begin to fall, falling below the previous mark of HK$80.
This situation made Xu Yi, who understood Chu Huan's plan, a little worried, so Xu Yi came to Chu Huan's office today.
"Boss, do you want us to do anything more? If Wharf's stock price drops seriously, it is very likely that what we have done before will be in vain!"
After finishing speaking, Xu Yi looked at Chu Huan seriously!
