After Yunhai Group completed its investment in the five major Japanese department stores, it has entered December!
However, Yunhai Group's investment in these five department stores has not been announced to the outside world. Although there are rumors from the outside world, the specific situation can only be followed by others.
However, it is precisely because of this reason that the business community in Xiangjiang fell into a brief period of calm some time ago, and many people who were paying attention to this matter began to slowly relax.
But as local suppliers and brands in Xiangjiang began to enter the five major Japanese department stores, people who had been paying attention to this matter finally confirmed that Yunhai Group's investment in Wudai Japanese Department Store in Xiangjiang should be a success.
Already.
"Chu Huan actually did it!"
After receiving the news at Jianing headquarters, Chen Songqing couldn't help but lecture Qian Zhengnan and Zhuang Yongcheng.
"Can we understand that Yunhai Group has now officially monopolized the department store industry in Xiangjiang?"
Zhuang Yongcheng's eyes were full of envy.
Chen Songqing sneered and said: "It's not just the department store industry. Don't forget that before this, Chu Huan had already monopolized the textile industry in Xiangjiang in the same way. Nowadays, every textile factory in Xiangjiang counts.
A share without Chinese real estate?"
At that time, the textile industry in Xiangjiang and HSBC jointly attacked Chu Huan, but Chu Huan counterattacked. At that time, Chinese Real Estate invested in major textile factories in Xiangjiang, and it was also from that time that Chu Huan had absolute say in the textile industry in Xiangjiang.
"Now Chu Huan has a monopoly on the department store industry in Xiangjiang. This means that from now on, all retail products in Xiangjiang, including ready-made clothing, electronic products, gold and silver jewelry, toys, cosmetics, etc., must actually be controlled by Chu Huan.
Otherwise, there will be no market for them!"
After Chen Songqing finished speaking, there was also deep envy in his eyes.
Although some well-known brands in Xiangjiang have their own specialty stores with a large number, selling in department stores is also one of their important sales channels.
Qingjin Clothing's brands have their own flagship stores in Xiangjiang, but they will also enter high-end department stores such as Lane Crawford.
Jiuzhou Group's electronic products also have their own counters in department stores.
There are also cosmetics from Kwong Sang Hong, etc.
It can be said that the status of Yunhai in Xiangjiang at this time is like the complex of certain treasures, certain easts and certain duoduo in their hometown in later generations.
Zhuang Yongcheng exclaimed: "If this is the case, how much money will Yunhai Group make?"
Chen Songqing looked at Zhuang Yongcheng with a smile and said: "Don't be envious, as long as we develop fast enough, we will definitely be able to catch up with Yunhai Group!"
Is it really?
Qian Zhengnan looked at the excited expressions of Chen Songqing and Zhuang Yongcheng and couldn't help but murmur in his heart.
Even though what Chen Songqing just said was about catching up with Yunhai Group, Qian Zhengnan still found it hard to believe it.
There are many people discussing this matter with Chen Songqing, but at the same time, some people have already started to take action.
On this day, Chu Huan met Lin Boxin from Lixin Garment in the company.
When Chu Huan became a shareholder of Jiahu Textile and returned to Hong Kong's celebrity world for the first time, he attended a dance held by Tang Jiqian. At the dance, Chu Huan met Jian Yueqiang and Lin Boxin!
However, after that, Chu Huan and Jian Yueqiang became friends, and even received a lot of help from Jian Yueqiang when he first started his business. Jian Yueqiang also used this incident to become a hermit boss in the political and business circles of Hong Kong.
But Lin Boxin was different. Since then, Chu Huan and Lin Boxin had rarely crossed paths, and Lin Boxin also developed exactly the same way in another time and space.
In 1972, Lin Boxin successfully listed Lixin Garments and used the funds raised from the listing to update equipment, purchase advanced garment machines, and expand factories.
At that time, Lai Sun Garments had become one of the largest textile quota holders in Hong Kong.
In the past two years, Lin Boxin saw the potential of Xiangjiang's real estate industry, so he used the company's remaining funds to build factories and rent them out. By next year, the factory area invested by Lixin will reach 1 million square feet, and it can provide Lixin with a rent of 7,000 yuan per year.
Thousands of Hong Kong dollars.
It can be said that now is a critical moment for Lixin's transformation, but no matter what, Lixin Garment is still Lixin's main source of income at this time!
In order to ensure that there would be no mistakes in making clothes when she entered the Xiangjiang real estate industry, Lin Boxin could only come to see Chu Huan at this time.
"Lin Weng, please sit down!"
After Lin Boxin arrived at Chu Huan's office, Chu Huan stood up to greet her and invited her to sit on the sofa.
At this time, Lin Boxin was filled with emotion. He and Jian Yueqiang met Chu Huan almost at the same time, but now their identities have changed drastically.
Nowadays, everyone knows that Chu Huan still regards himself as a junior no matter where he sees Jian Yueqiang.
Now, when I come to see Chu Huan, I have to make an appointment in advance, and I also need to check Chu Huan's time.
What was a slight difference at the beginning has resulted in a completely different treatment now.
"Dr. Chu is so polite!" Lin Boxin, who was sitting on the sofa, put away her inner feelings and said with a smile: "I know you are busy, Mr. Chu, so I will keep the story short!"
Chu Huan smiled and said, "Weng Lin is so polite!"
Lin Boxin said: "Director Chu should know that we at Lixin have been trying to enter the real estate industry recently, right?"
Chu Huan nodded and said: "I have heard that the real estate industry in Xiangjiang is growing relatively fast now. Although it is a little late to enter the real estate industry now, it is still okay!"
Lin Boxin smiled and said: "With your words, Mr. Chu, I feel more at ease!"
"So, Lin Weng is here to cooperate?" Chu Huan did not clarify the purpose of Lin Boxin's visit, but just followed his words: "If this is the case, you can just discuss it with He Bingguang directly!"
Lin Boxin hurriedly said: "I would like to thank Director Chu first. In fact, we at Lixin are also discussing a real estate project with Zhulu. However, this is not the reason why I came to see Director Chu this time. Although the growth of the real estate industry in Xiangjiang is
Very quickly, but after all, the investment is relatively large. Our company has now transferred most of the working capital to the real estate department.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! So I came to see Director Chu this time to ask if Director Chu is interested in buying shares in our Lixin. Our Lixin is planning to issue some additional shares recently.
, if Director Chu is interested, we can make a targeted acquisition, and then we will be considered a family, wouldn’t it be better?”
To say that Lin Boxin came here this time to ask Jiaku to buy a stake in Lixin, it would be better to say that this time he came to Chu Huan to pay protection fees.
Chen Songqing has just said that after Yunhai Group invested in the five major Japanese department stores in Hong Kong, Yunhai Group basically controlled the life and death power of Xiangjiang's retail industry.
And Lixin is now in a critical period of transformation, and it certainly cannot let its own backyard catch fire.
Therefore, after thinking about it, Lin Boxin decided to invite Chu Huan to invest in Lixin and serve as Lixin's director.
"So that's what happened." Chu Huan made a surprised expression at this time, and then said with a smile: "Lin Weng, we are old acquaintances. I know your worries. The ready-made clothes produced by your company are
Xiangjiang has always had a very good reputation, and I think no matter which department store it is, they hope to invite Laixin to put it on the shelves, so you don’t need to do that now.”
Lin Boxin waved her hand and said: "Don't get me wrong, Director Chu. To be honest, if Director Chu's Jiaku can become a shareholder of Lixin, it will definitely bring more benefits than disadvantages to us!"
Lin Boxin did not lie about this matter.
Although the issuance of new shares to be sold to Chu Huan will cause the Lin family to lose part of Lixin's shares, Lin Boxin must have made careful calculations, and the shares he sold to Chu Huan will definitely not affect the Lin family's words in Lixin
right.
But if Jiaku becomes a shareholder of Lixin, it will be equivalent to announcing to the outside world the close relationship between Lixin and Jiaku.
According to Jiaku's influence in Hong Kong today, Jiaku's investment in Lai Sun will definitely increase Lai Sun's stock price.
This virtually increases Lixin's assets.
This is why, in the business history of Hong Kong, listed companies often invite celebrities to become directors of their companies.
After becoming a director of a company, everyone becomes a family, and celebrities will definitely use their connections to increase the company's stock price.
At that time, the Milk Company, which had not yet been acquired by Jardine Matheson, did this. They invited Zhou Xinian, a socialite in Hong Kong at that time, to become their director. Later, Zhou Xinian even became the chairman of the milk company.
Now that Lin Boxin had explained the matter to this point, Chu Huan naturally did not refuse.
It is said that Lai Sun Lam's reputation was still quite good in later Xiangjiang. In the 1980s, Lai Sun acquired the well-known local crocodile shirts in Xiangjiang and became the largest shareholder.
In addition, some operations of Lin Boxin's second son, Lin Jianyue, also made their family frequently appear in the headlines of newspapers in Hong Kong.
Regarding the scandal between Lin Jianyue and Wang Zuxian, Lin’s mother said: Just treat it as your own son and spend money on it!
Directly let Wang Zuxian retire from the entertainment industry at his peak, and finally immigrate to Canada.
Lin Jianyue even encouraged his father to jointly acquire ATV with the Zheng family. Later, Lin Jianyue became the majority shareholder of Media Asia Films.
During the period of decline of Hong Kong film industry, together with the Emperor, they became the last two banners of Hong Kong film industry at that time.
"Infernal Affairs" is produced by Media Asia!
The matter of buying a stake in Lixin was not a big deal for Chu Huan. After negotiating with Lin Boxin, Chu Huan called Wen Mingzhang, who was in charge of Chinese Real Estate, to his office and asked him to take charge of this matter.
"Dr. Chu, there will be a dance at our house in the next two days. Do you have time to come over and sit down?"
When Lin Boxin left, she sent an invitation to Chu Huan.
Chu Huan apologized and said with a smile: "Lin Weng, I'm really sorry. I should have attended your invitation, but you also know that it's the end of the year and the company will be busier in the future, so I'll apologize first.
!”
Lin Boxin nodded with some disappointment, but also some envy. Chu Huan was only in his twenties, and now he has begun to consciously reduce the number of such insignificant dances. Let's go and see his unsatisfactory son, who is better than Chu Huan.
He is more than ten years older, but he still spends all his time drinking and drinking every day.
It’s true that people have to throw it away more than others!
The son Lin Boxin had in mind at this time was not his second son Lin Jianyue, whom he later valued most, but his eldest son Lin Jianming.
Of Lin Boxin's two sons, the second son Lin Jianyue is naturally the most famous in later generations, but in fact Lin Boxin's eldest son Lin Jiaming is also a famous playboy in Hong Kong.
Even in the era when Chu Huan was reborn, she had an affair with TVB's Xiaohua, and even after breaking up, she shed sad tears in front of the media.
It is estimated that if Lin Boxin knew about it, she could directly pry open the coffin board, jump out from inside, and deal with her eldest son severely.
However, Lin Jianming is a being favored by God in the business world.
No matter who in the Xiangjiang business community mentions Lin Jianming, they will say that he is an out-and-out prodigal, but there are also many people who are extremely envious of Lin Jianming's luck.
With the support of the Lin family, Lin Jianming was naturally not short of money. Apart from spending the money on concubines, Lin Jianming just invested it casually.
But it was Lin Jianming's random investment that actually led him to invest in several listed companies.
You said this kind of luck, how could it not be enviable?
This is also the reason why after Lin Boxin passed away, most of his inheritance was left to Lin Jianyue, and Lin Jiaming can still be very handsome in Hong Kong!
After sending Lin Boxin away, Chu Huan called Xu Yi into his office.
"Now, Yunhai Group's investment in Japan's five major department stores is basically over. Next, we will target local banks in Hong Kong and Standard Chartered Bank. How is the matter going?"
Chu Huan asked Xu Yi.
Xu Yidao: "Mr. Ma made a phone call in London before. Standard Chartered Bank is now competing with HSBC for Royal Bank of Scotland, so we didn't notice our acquisition of Standard Chartered Bank shares on the London stock market some time ago!"
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Chu Huan asked: "In that case, the first thing we should pay attention to now is to acquire the local banks in Xiangjiang first?"
Xu Yi nodded and said: "I have had a meeting with the managers of various departments, and everyone agrees that the influence of Standard Chartered Bank is too great. If you want to complete the acquisition of them, you must not only deal with Standard Chartered, but also
It may arouse the covetousness of others!”
Speaking of this, Xu Yi was silent for a while, but finally said: "Boss, according to Wu Xiaohui's report, Standard Chartered Bank has actually made quite a lot of moves recently, especially our people noticed that some time ago, Standard Chartered and Jardine
The relationship is very close. Could it be that Jardine Matheson got help from Standard Chartered Bank in the money-burning war and the expansion of 7-11?"
Chu Huan smiled and said: "If this is the case, it is good news for us. Standard Chartered Bank has been trying to catch up with HSBC these years. Such a big move this year will definitely make its cash appear.
question."
Xu Yi said: "This is the only thing that I and others are worried about. If by the time we take action, Jardine Matheson has withdrawn part of the funds and returned it to Standard Chartered, it will increase the cost of the acquisition for us!"
Chu Huan asked: "Then how did you convince yourself in the end?"
Xu Yidao: "Later, Mr. Cui reminded me that he believed that it would not be easy to complete the expansion of 7-11. In addition, it is now December, and the golden sales period of the retail industry is coming soon.
, Jardine Matheson will definitely still need a lot of cash, so we finally believe that Jardine Matheson will not provide any help to Standard Chartered in a short time!”
Chu Huan nodded and said: "Since you have already thought about it, just follow the plan you made before."
At present, the acquisition of a local bank in Xiangjiang is only preliminary work, so Chu Huan does not need to give any specific instructions.
"By the way, how is the takeover battle between Jardine Matheson and the Bao Group regarding Wharf?"
Chu Huan is more concerned about this matter now. Before finalizing the entire plan, Chu Huan wanted to start the Wharf acquisition battle earlier, but now because of the layout of the retail industry and banking industry, Chu Huan instead let Chu Huan
Huan is even more hopeful that the Wharf takeover battle will start later.
After all, Chu Huan now wants to focus more on the acquisition of Hong Kong Bank by Jiaku Bank and the acquisition of Standard Chartered Bank by Jiaku Bank.
If the Wharf acquisition battle is brought forward, Chu Huan's entire plan will change. You must know that the Wharf acquisition battle can be regarded as another opportunity for Chu Huan to take action against Jardine and Land!
It really complies with that sentence, this moment and that moment!
Xu Yi understood Chu Huan's worries and said with a smile: "Both of them are quite restrained now. All of Yihe's energy is on expanding 7-11. In addition, they suffered heavy losses in the previous money-burning war.
, they will definitely not launch a battle with the Bao family at this time.
As for Bao, they are actually waiting. Their current focus is on disposing of the oil tankers in the hands of Global Shipping and accumulating more funds!
After all, they think we don’t have the strength to help them at this time!”
After hearing Xu Yi's answer, Chu Huan breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "It seems that luck is on our side. As long as we can successfully complete these three acquisitions, next year, we can
We have officially sunk the name Jiaku!"
In Chu Huan's plan, after Jiaku completes the acquisition of Xiangjiang Local Bank, Standard Chartered Bank, and Jardine Matheson, Jiaku will completely sink to the bottom. In other words, from now on, the name Jiaku, Chu Huan
He will be made to disappear in front of the media as much as possible, and what will be shown to the outside world are the various subsidiaries of Jiaku.
Twenty or thirty years later, when the Internet is developed, people will see the performance of a subsidiary company and ignore Jiaku.
The main purpose of doing this is to avoid the possibility that the tree will be destroyed by the wind.
Now that Xiangjiang is under the management of the British, they don't care whether Xiangjiang develops healthily or not, so Chu Huan can unscrupulously let Jiaku monopolize some industries.
But as Xiangjiang returned to the embrace of his hometown, although Xiangjiang still had a lot of conveniences at that time, there were always some considerations for what would happen a hundred years later.
In addition, at that time, Jiaku's investment focus will be domestic, giving people the feeling of a monopolistic chaebol. Sooner or later, some problems will occur.
Although Xu Yi is not as far-reaching as Chu Huan thought, Xu Yi also understands that a truly powerful chaebol that can influence the world structure is all buried underground, and what is shown to others will always be used to distract people.
A company that is visible to ordinary people.
"Yes, I will inform the media in Xiangjiang when the time comes!"
