720, the real monopoly of Xiangjiang retail industry
Just when businessmen in Xiangjiang were paying attention to the establishment of Heidi Investment Company, and ordinary citizens in Xiangjiang were paying attention to the Wharf acquisition war, a piece of news suddenly appeared, which immediately attracted everyone's attention!
In September, eight luxury duplex villas launched by Jiani, a medium-sized real estate company in Hong Kong, in Stanley were sold out within three days!
As soon as this news came out, many ordinary people in Xiangjiang immediately noticed this company. Soon they discovered that Carining was actually preparing to acquire the listed company Hanmei. Its intention was self-evident, and it was to go public through a backdoor transaction.
!
Jianing's series of actions really caught everyone off guard.
First, Jianing purchased 16 villas on Clear Water Bay Road from Hanmei Company for HK$28.6 million. The equivalent unit price was HK$1.79 million per unit, setting a record for the highest property price in this batch!
Subsequently, Carinon proposed to acquire the Capital Bank Building on Carnarvon Road from Hanmei Company for HK$268 million. Based on a floor area of 96,000 square feet, the average price per square foot was HK$2,821. It also created the
House price record high!
As soon as these two news came out, it was impossible for Chen Songqing's Jiani company not to become famous. It can be said that at the end of September and early October, the most popular company in Xiangjiang was Chen Songqing's Jiani.
However, Chen Songqing is just like Zhu Xiaozhao of Yunhai Group and Chen Haichao of Jiuzhou Group. He is very low-key personally. Many newspapers and magazines in Xiangjiang wanted to conduct exclusive interviews with him, but Jianing vetoed them.
"This Chen Songqing is really crazy. He should really acquire Hanmei's properties without any scruples!"
Cao Yunshang looked at the newspaper in his hand and couldn't help but tell Chu Huan that whether it was the 16 villas on Clear Water Bay Road or the Capital Bank Building on Carnarvon Road, they were not worth the price, but Chen Songqing was the one who came out.
Already.
Chu Huan chuckled softly: "It's just normal operation. He is sending benefits to Baoguang Group in order to obtain Hanmei Company more smoothly."
The listed company Hanmei is affiliated to the Baoguang Group of the Huang family in Xiangjiang.
According to Hanmei’s financial report, Baoguang Group holds as much as 55% of Hanmei’s shares!
This means that Heung Kong’s securities laws have not been updated yet. After the Wharf acquisition war is over, Heung Kong will update their shareholding ratio of listed companies!
Cao Yunshang said: "Don't Chen Songqing know that he is very dangerous? As long as his capital chain is broken, he will fall into a place of no return!"
"Chen Songqing is a financial strategist. In a situation like his, as long as the general trend does not reverse, there is actually a market for him!"
Chu Huan analyzed.
Cao Yunshang shook his head and said: "I still don't agree with his approach. It's too radical. Everything can be said to be a castle in the air. As long as there is a problem in one link, then there will be problems in his business empire!"
Chu Huan laughed and said: "You think so because you know the details of Chen Songqing from me, and there is no capital support from other places. However, in the local business community in Xiangjiang, no one thinks that Chen Songqing is lacking."
Money, but because of her operation, everyone thinks that Chen Songqing has the support of funds from other places!"
Cao Yunshang thought for a moment, nodded, agreed with Chu Huan's words, and said curiously: "But now that the company lends him money, will the company suffer some losses?"
Chu Huan had long told Cao Yunshang that if there was no real giant to support Chen Songqing, when the snowball of Jianing Chen Songqing gets bigger and bigger, sooner or later someone will expose it due to changes in the general trend.
Now Chu Huan first offered a piece of land to cooperate with Jia Ning, and then loaned 50 million Hong Kong dollars to Chen Songqing. Cao Yunshang was very worried that this would cause Chu Huan to suffer losses!
Chu Huan smiled and said: "No, the land jointly developed by Jianing and Zhulu Real Estate is led by Jianing, but Zhulu Real Estate's finances are also involved in this project, so no matter what happens to this project in the end
Under such circumstances, Chen Songqing will definitely give us the income from Zhulu Real Estate. As for the 50 million, it is only a one-year loan period. As long as Chen Songqing wants to maintain his snowball, then when the time comes
He will definitely return the principal to us with interest, and even pay a higher interest rate than the interest we set for him!"
Cao Yunshang felt relieved, and then asked Chu Huan: "So, Chen Songqing's Jia Ning can at least guarantee more than a year of development time?"
Chu Huan nodded and said: "Of course, but according to Chen Songqing's development speed, maybe there will be a rupture in 1982 or 1983, and I am afraid that many companies in Xiangjiang will be implicated by then!"
Cao Yunshang said without paying much attention: "The most important thing is to involve HSBC!"
Chu Huan frowned slightly, he also meant this, why Chu Huan still supported Chen Songqing without hesitation when he knew that Chen Songqing's Jia Ning would develop into the biggest scam in Hong Kong's business history.
The main reason is that Chu Huan wants to involve HSBC. Only in this way can Chu Huan shake HSBC, which has an extremely strong position in Hong Kong.
If everything is viewed according to the development of another time and space, Carinen began to have problems in 1982 and completely collapsed in 1983. According to the current plan of HSBC to acquire the Royal Bank of Scotland, it should not be until that time.
There will be official results.
At that time, HSBC will be involved in huge amounts of money. Coupled with their disguised relocation and the exposure of Carining's problems, HSBC will fall into an unprecedented crisis of trust in Hong Kong.
And that was Chu Huan's only chance to take action against HSBC!
But this is just a plan. Whether the plan will fail to keep up with changes depends on the development in the past few years!
"If that's the case, wouldn't it be possible to make a lot of money by buying some Hanmei stocks now?" Cao Yunshang suddenly thought of this question. If Chen Songqing's development is really as Chu Huan said, then as long as Jiajia
If Ning acquires Hanmei, Hanmei’s stock price will definitely skyrocket!
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! In fact, this is indeed the case. Hanmei's stock price has been very stable, at about 1.5 Hong Kong dollars per share, but the 'rich and wealthy' Jianning purchased Hanmei shares from Baoguang Group
At that time, the price was HK$6 per share, which also caused Hanmei's stock price to suddenly rise to HK$3.8 per share before the suspension!
Chu Huan smiled and said: "You forgot, I told Miao Kexiu before that you can buy some shares of Hanmei Company!"
"Ah, I remembered it!" Cao Yunshang suddenly said.
As for Chu Huan and Cao Yunshang, they definitely have no intention of buying shares of Hanmei. Although it will rise a lot, in fact, for them, even if Jianing reaches its peak, it will just be like that!
However, although the two of them did not buy, Chu Huan asked Chinese Real Estate to buy part of it in the next period of time, firstly to better control the direction of the Jianing case, and secondly to increase the income of those girls.
.
Chen Songqing's madness is still going on, and at the same time, an acquisition war for Yong'an Group, a famous group in Hong Kong that few people know about, is also going on.
First, Bryant, who traveled to Singapore to negotiate with Oversea-Chinese Bank of Singapore, returned.
After Bryant returned to Xiangjiang, he immediately came to Chu Huan's office.
"Chairman, we have reached an agreement with Overseas Chinese Bank of Singapore. The other party is willing to exchange 25% of their shares in Yongan Group for 5% of the shares of Alder Commercial Bank Singapore Branch that we are about to establish in Singapore. As for the specific asset value calculation requirements of both companies,
After the negotiation teams of both parties formally negotiate, we will discuss it in detail!"
Bryant came back with the first good news.
At this time, Singapore, like Hong Kong, had some restrictions on the entry of foreign banks but did not explicitly prohibit it. In addition, Jia Ku's relationship in Singapore allowed Alder Commercial Bank to enter Singapore's banking industry without much problem.
.
The question now is how much the asset value of Alder Commercial Bank Singapore Branch exceeds that of Wing On Group!
However, a newly opened local bank can surpass the Yongan Group in terms of asset value. This is because, while the Singapore branch of Alder Commercial Bank was successfully established, it will also cooperate with the former Bank of East Asia in Singapore, which already has business in Singapore.
There are already branches!
The Singapore Branch of Alder Commercial Bank will jointly establish an innovative investment company in Singapore with the Singapore Branch of Jiaku Bank. This innovative investment company will receive US$300 million in investment cash from Jiaku, and will also introduce Xiangjiang's investment funds at that time.
Some capital sources estimate that the investment company's asset value will reach about US$400 million.
Although Alder Commercial Bank Singapore Branch only holds 40% of the shares in this company, it still exceeds the current asset value of Yongan Group, so the dispute between the two parties will continue for some time based on the asset values of the two companies.
But this is no longer important. What is important is that Oversea-Chinese Bank of Singapore has agreed to the exchange of shares between the two parties.
"So, the most beneficial way for us now is to lower the share price of Yongan Group to force Singapore's Overseas Chinese Bank to increase the urgency of this transaction?"
Chu Huan gave his answer after pondering for a moment.
Bryant nodded and said: "That's true, but if that's the case, the shares of Yong'an Group we are acquiring now will definitely drop in price!"
Chu Huan said without paying much attention: "It doesn't matter. After all, we don't really acquire many Yongan shares. If we can get Singapore's Oversea-Chinese Banking Corporation's shares in Yongan Group at the lowest price, it will be great for us."
It is enough to make up for this loss, and in this case, it will also be more conducive to our acquisition of the remaining shares of Yongan Group!"
Bryant thought for a moment, agreed with Chu Huan's statement, and said, "Chairman, do you have any way to lower Yong'an Group's stock price now?"
Chu Huan did not answer Bryant and called Xu Yi.
When Xu Yi came to Chu Huan's office, Chu Huan said to Bryant: "Go back first, I will find someone to contact you about this matter!"
"yes!"
Bryant left Chu Huan's office and Xu Yi walked in.
"How are Du Huilian and the others doing now?" Chu Huan asked Xu Yi.
Xu Yi replied: "It's still in progress. Should we call the three of them over for questioning?"
Chu Huan nodded and said: "Let them come here separately!"
"yes!"
The first person to come over was naturally Chen Tao from Fengwu Securities.
"How is the connection with Guo Linxiang?" Chu Huan asked straight to the point after meeting Chen Tao.
Chen Tao said with some embarrassment: "Chairman, my previous thoughts were a bit too optimistic. At first, I thought that Guo Linxiang's lineage was the least valued in Yong'an Group, so they were also the most likely to sell their shares in Yong'an Group.
.
But I didn’t expect that although this family really wanted to sell Yongan Group’s shares, they were so aggressive that they wanted five times the current Yongan Group share price!”
Chu Huan sneered and said, "What a lion!"
Chen Tao nodded and said: "Guo Le's lineage is only twice the price, but the other party has directly raised it to five times. Obviously they think our Jiaku has more money."
Chu Huan smiled and said to Chen Tao: "Do you still want to say that they think we Jiaku people are stupid?"
Chen Tao smiled awkwardly, not knowing how to answer Chu Huan.
Chu Huan thought for a while and said: "Five times the price is definitely not the other party's psychological price. They want such a high price just because they want to have more initiative when they bargain with us later!"
Chen Tao nodded and said, "I think so too."
It seems that we are really going to find ways to suppress the share price of Yongan Group. Only in this way can we better negotiate with people from Oversea-Chinese Banking Corporation of Singapore and Guo Linxiang!
After thinking for a while, Chu Huan said to Chen Tao: "Temporarily stop contacting everyone in Guo Linxiang's lineage!"
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Chen Tao showed a surprised expression after listening to it. Before, Chu Huan had always acted like he wanted to win Yongan Group no matter what, but now Chu Huan
Huan suddenly stopped.
"Chairman, are we giving up Yong'an Group?"
Chu Huan waved his hands and said: "Of course not, I just want to add some sense of crisis to them. I still need to consider this matter in detail. Just wait for my news!"
"yes!"
After Chen Tao left, Liu Zhiyuan came to Chu Huan's office.
"Chairman, since the last conversation with you, the company has once again acquired 1.05% of the shares of Yong'an Group. Those shareholders of Yong'an Group now know that it is our Jiaku who wants to acquire their shares, so one by one
They have all increased the share price of Yongan Group in their hands. It is obvious that the other party wants to rip off us severely!"
After learning the lesson from last time, Liu Zhiyuan didn't talk nonsense to Chu Huan this time and directly told Chu Huan about the shares of Yong'an Group he had acquired during this period.
After Chu Huan heard this, he understood that this was one more reason for him to suppress Yongan Group's stock price.
After chatting with Liu Zhiyuan for a few words, Du Huilian also came to Chu Huan's office. His situation was similar to that of Chen Tao and Liu Zhiyuan, and there was not much progress.
"Chairman, this matter is my responsibility. I have never been able to keep up with the pace arranged by you, Chairman!" After Du Huilian finished explaining his situation, he took the initiative to admit his mistake to Chu Huan.
Chu Huan smiled and waved his hand and said: "No need to apologize. We just encountered some problems and they are not insurmountable. I believe that as long as I give you some time, these problems can definitely be solved."
This is not because Chu Huan can comfort Du Huilian, but Chu Huan does think so. Yongan Group is different from other companies. First of all, their equity distribution is particularly strong. As the holder of Yongan Group, the Guo family has enough
The large number of shares makes it more difficult to acquire Yongan Group.
In addition, the current reputation of Jiaku in Hong Kong will really make those who want to sell Yongan Group shares increase the price of Yongan Group shares.
Under normal circumstances, it would take a year or two to complete the acquisition of Yongan Group, but now it has only been more than two months.
"For these people, I now have a better idea, but it will take some time to plan. During this period, you will suspend the acquisition of Yongan Group shares on the stock market and wait for my news!"
Chu Huan told Du Huilian the same words as Chen Tao.
If it were a simple acquisition of Yongan Group, Chu Huan would not take action at this time, but after Bryant told Chu Huan about the exchange of shares between Overseas Chinese Bank in Singapore and Jiaku, Chu Huan suddenly had something in his mind
A bigger plan!
Du Huilian was also a little confused about Chu Huan's decision, but seeing Chu Huan's serious look, Du Huilian finally nodded and said: "Yes!"
.
After chatting with Du Huilian, Chu Huan left the Chinese Bank directly and came to Zhu Xiaozhao's villa in the middle of the mountain.
Zhu Xiaozhao's mid-level villa now has bodyguards, maids, doctors, nurses, etc., making it very lively.
Seeing Chu Huan coming, everyone put down their work and said hello to Chu Huan.
Zhu Xiaozhao was doing simple exercises in the garden of the villa at this time.
"Brother Huan!"
After seeing Chu Huan, Zhu Xiaozhao immediately stopped his exercise and talked to Chu Huan with a smile.
Chu Huan took the towel from the servant's hand and helped Zhu Xiaozhao wipe the sweat from her face. Looking at her slowly swelling belly, she asked with a smile: "Are you tired?"
Zhu Xiaozhao shook his head happily and said, "I'm not tired. This is good. Besides, my family's doctors check my body every day. They also suggested that I exercise more."
Chu Huan nodded, Zhu Xiaozhao's body was a little weak, and because he had been focusing on work before, according to later generations, he was somewhat sub-healthy.
That's why the doctor gave the advice to Zhu Xiaozhao to exercise more.
He helped Zhu Xiaozhao back to the living room. Zhu Xiaozhao sat on the sofa and asked Chu Huan: "Brother Huan, did you encounter any problems with the acquisition of Yong'an Group when you came here at this time?"
Although Volkswagen International Investment is now leading the acquisition of Yongan Group, after this acquisition, Yongan Group will basically disappear.
The insurance and banking businesses of Yongan Group will be merged into Jiaku Bank, the retail and department store businesses will be taken over by Yunhai Group, and the remaining real estate industries will join Zhulu Real Estate.
So up to now, the specific operation of Yong'an Group's acquisition is the joint investment of three consortiums, namely Jiaku Bank, Yunhai Group, and Zhulu Real Estate, and the specific implementation of the acquisition by Volkswagen International Investment.
"There are indeed some problems, but they are not too big. And I have been thinking about one thing during this time, and that is whether we can take advantage of this opportunity to dominate the retail industry in Hong Kong!"
Chu Huan spoke to Zhu Xiaozhao seriously.
Zhu Xiaozhao was stunned for a while and asked: "Hasn't Yunhai Group already dominated the retail industry in Xiangjiang?"
Chu Huan shook his head and said: "It can only be said that Yunhai Group is now the largest retail group in Xiangjiang. Of course it also has a dominant position, but there are still many other retail groups in Xiangjiang!"
Zhu Xiaozhao nodded after hearing this. Although she was forcibly ordered by Chu Huan to take care of her health at home during this period, she would still pay attention to the retail industry in Xiangjiang.
"In the department store industry, Yunhai's biggest rival is no longer the department store group in Xiangjiang, but the department store from Japan."
Before the 1970s, the department store industry in Xiangjiang was basically dominated by Chinese capital, including the four major department stores in Xiangjiang, Wing On, Xian Shi, Hua Department Store and Dah Hsin.
There are also many other department stores.
But when Xiangjiang entered the 1970s, Japanese department stores began to enter the department store industry in Xiangjiang, such as Seibu Department Store, which was acquired by Chu Huan.
By the mid-1970s, Japanese department stores such as Matsubanya, Isetan, Tokyu, Jusco, and Mitsukoshi had entered Hong Kong’s department store industry.
Let’s put it this way, at this time in Hong Kong, there were approximately 7,000 to 8,000 large and small department stores.
According to later statistics, by the late 1980s, there will be more than 10,000 department stores in Hong Kong!
“In terms of supermarkets, although we have Hehe International’s PARKnSHOP, Watsons, Mannings Pharmacy, etc., Jardine’s Wellcome has been working hard to catch up with our PARKnSHOP, and I also got news that Jardine is interested in
Introducing 7-11 to benchmark our Yunhai chain!"
After listening to Zhu Xiaozhao's introduction, Chu Huan became more certain of his thoughts. Xiangjiang is too small a place to accommodate so many competitors.
If his plan this time succeeds, Yunhai Group will truly dominate the department store industry in Hong Kong.
Instead of now, it is just the largest retail group in Hong Kong.
And as long as this method can be successful, it can be promoted to other places immediately. When the time comes, the picture will be so beautiful!
No matter what kind of industry it is, as long as it can achieve a monopoly status, its profit model will be completely different.
More importantly, as long as Chu Huan's plan can be completed, Yunhai Group's beverages, sodas, noodles, and instant noodles that are about to be successfully researched can all have an impact on the market as soon as they are launched.
The more he thought about it, the more Chu Huan realized that this could be done.
"How much available funds does the company have now?" Chu Huan asked Zhu Xiaozhao.
To complete Chu Huan's plan, a large amount of cash is needed to support it. This time, Chu Huan does not want to use Jiaku's funds to support Yunhai Group's operation. Chu Huan has not used Yunhai Group in these years.
funds, and even continue to inject funds into Yunhai Group, just to ensure their development.
Now it’s time for Yunhai Group to work independently!
Zhu Xiaozhao thought briefly and said: "There is always more than one billion US dollars!"
Chu Huan was not surprised by this figure. If Yunhai Group hadn't been on the road to expansion, the amount of funds would definitely be more. And don't forget that Chu Huan's previous individual investments also brought Yunhai Group's funds.
of.
Now there are only more than a billion US dollars in available cash, which is actually the reason why Yunhai Group itself is developing too fast.
After all, Yunhai Group has been committed to increasing its development in the global warehousing and logistics industry.
"I'm going to make a big one this time. It should mobilize about 200 million US dollars. In the follow-up, there should be another 300 to 500 million US dollars mobilized. You need to make the company ready!"
Chu Huan spoke to Zhu Xiaozhao seriously.
Zhu Xiaozhao was stunned. The entire plan only requires 500 million US dollars, and may even increase to 700 million US dollars. How big a plan is this?
"Then I will go to the company tomorrow!" Zhu Xiaozhao said seriously.
Chu Huan did not agree to Zhu Xiaozhao's request, "Your biggest task now is to take good care of yourself at home. I am here to tell you about this. As for the follow-up matters, it is like the acquisition of Guangsheng Bank and Yongan Group.
Same, just let Li Tianying do it."
Zhu Xiaozhao did not agree to Chu Huan's request this time, but asked Chu Huan: "Brother Huan, Aying cannot do such a big plan alone, and there is no one in the entire group who knows the company better than me.
Already.
Only when I am in the company can I ensure that your plan is foolproof!"
Chu Huan knew that Zhu Xiaozhao was a hands-on leader, but the retail industry that unified Xiangjiang, although important, was still not as important as the child in Zhu Xiaozhao's belly in Chu Huan's opinion.
But seeing Zhu Xiaozhao's excited look, Chu Huan understood that even if he let her raise him at home, she would definitely not be at ease, and would even control the matter remotely.
After thinking for a while, Chu Huan made some compromises and said: "It's definitely not possible to go to the company, but I can allow you to move the management of Yunhai Group to the villa.
The villa will also be cleaned up so that some tired people can go to rest.
In addition, you can only work for 5 hours a day. If the doctor thinks that your body is not suitable for this kind of work during this period, then you must stop!
I would rather this plan fail, and you can’t have any problems with your body!”
Zhu Xiaozhao showed a sweet smile again and said to Chu Huan: "I know."
"Don't be happy yet. Although I have already decided on this matter, it doesn't count. I have to listen to the doctor's opinion before I can make the final decision." Chu Huan said seriously.
"Yeah!" Zhu Xiaozhao nodded immediately.
Then Chu Huan called the doctor who lived in the villa and was responsible for Zhu Xiaozhao's daily protection. Chu Huan asked the doctor in detail about Zhu Xiaozhao's physical condition.
After getting a definite answer from the doctor, Chu Huan told Zhu Xiaozhao his plan.
