Chu Huan still had no rest at this time, but before, Chu Huan was waiting for the call from Xiangjiang alone. At this time, not only Ma Jizu, but also Feng Jing came over at about one o'clock in the morning.
"Boss, do you want to call back at this time to ask about the situation?"
Feng Jing looked at the watch on her wrist, and then asked Chu Huan.
Chu Huan waved his hands and said, "No, they must be busier over there than us at this time. Calling us back will only make them more nervous. I believe that as long as there are results over there, they will call us as soon as possible."
of!"
Feng Jing had no choice but to nod after hearing this.
Less than five minutes later, the phone on Chu Huan's desk rang, and Chu Huan answered the phone immediately.
It was Cao Yunshang calling.
"Brother Huan, something happened here in Xiangjiang."
After listening to Cao Yunshang's description, Chu Huan sat on a chair and tapped the table. After a long time, he said, "I know about this matter. You don't need to panic. If there are no accidents in this acquisition, then it will be
The biggest accident, don’t worry, I will solve the problem in London!"
Cao Yunshang asked, "What do we have to do here in Xiangjiang?"
Chu Huan said, "Since the acquisition has ended, let's follow the orders of the Hong Kong government first. There is no need to rush to announce it to the outside world. You ask Xu Yi to re-check the people we have arranged before, and wait until the acquisition is over.
It would be great if they could successfully take over the work at Jardine and Land!"
Every acquisition actually represents a major personnel change for the acquired group, and Jardine and Land are no exception. Before the acquisition, Chu Huan had already ordered Xu Yi to mobilize a group of people from Jiaku's talent pool to do the takeover work.
thing.
Although this acquisition has been temporarily suspended, this does not prevent Chu Huan from letting Xu Yi continue this matter.
Cao Yunshang, who was holding the phone, nodded and said, "I understand!"
Then Cao Yunshang asked Chu Huan, "Brother Huan, can we withdraw the acquisition point of Fengwu Securities and announce the news that we have completed the acquisition of Land Land and Jardine Matheson?"
Although the Hong Kong government has officially stopped Chinese Land's acquisitions of Jardine Matheson and Land, Chinese Land's shares in these two groups are now sufficient.
What is being stopped now is the follow-up formal handover work. Regardless of whether there is an order from the Hong Kong government or not, since the acquisition of these two groups has been completed, Chinese Real Estate should also announce this matter to Xiangjiang, so that those who
For those who still want to sell Land and Jardine shares, please stop selling your own shares.
After thinking about it for a moment, Chu Huan said, "There is no need to make an announcement. The acquisition point will continue to be retained, but we can no longer acquire the stocks of these two groups. Tell Chen Tao that there is no need for him to tell the investors the truth of the matter. Just
We need to tell them that we have encountered some force majeure factors. Although we have completed the acquisition, we cannot make an announcement or complete the handover. We can only tell everyone in this way."
After hearing Chu Huan's description, Cao Yunshang was stunned for a moment, then understood what Chu Huan meant, and immediately said with a smile, "I know how to do it!"
"Um!"
"Be careful yourself in London!"
"I know!"
"By the way, thank Tsar Huo and the others for me. Just say that after the incident in England is over, I will go back and thank them properly!"
"OK!"
After hanging up the phone, Feng Jing asked Chu Huan with some confusion, "Boss, haven't we already said hello to our relationship with London? Why is something like this still happening now?"
Chu Huan said calmly, "It's that simple. This is a game in London's political circles. Henry Keswick already knew some of our relationships in England last night. This is not enough to keep him captive. Don't underestimate it."
The power behind him, if nothing else happens, is that behind Henry Keswick is not only the support of George Thomas, the Speaker of the British House of Commons, but also the British royal family is very likely to be on his side.
Such a force can definitely have some impact on our acquisition of Jardine Matheson Land."
Although Chu Huan didn't understand why Charles was dissatisfied with her last night, Chu Huan believed that Henry Keswick must have seen this and would definitely take advantage of it.
"Then what should we do now?" Feng Jing asked.
Chu Huan looked at the time and said, "It's already three o'clock in the morning. Nothing can be done at this time. You two should go back and have a good rest. There are still some tough battles for us to do tomorrow morning."
What Chu Huan has to do tomorrow morning is to strengthen the interests on his side. Only in this way can those people truly stand on his side!
Seeing what Chu Huan said, Ma Jizu and Feng Jing had no choice but to leave first.
On the contrary, Chu Huan was still sitting in his study at this time, thinking about how to deal with tomorrow.
This world is divided into yin and yang. Some people are troubled and some are happy.
And the happiest people now are naturally Niubijian, Bao Fuda and others who are in Xiangjiang.
"I just received a call from Mr. Keswick. London has put pressure on the Hong Kong government, and the Hong Kong government has temporarily suspended Chinese Land's acquisition of Jardine Matheson and Land."
Newbijian excitedly told Bao Fuda.
"real?"
After hearing the news, Bao Fuda immediately stood up excitedly and saw Niubijian nodding in affirmation to him.
Bao Fu couldn't help laughing, "Great, indeed we still need Mr. Keswick to come forward. With Yihe's status in Xiangjiang, even the British side will definitely not let Chu Huan complete the acquisition easily. It's ridiculous that Chu Huan actually
I can’t even understand such a simple truth, and I have to shake the giant tree with a small insect!”
Newbijian also breathed a sigh of relief. It can be said that this news is the best news he has heard in the past two days.
"That's right!" After laughing, Baofuda asked Newbijian, "Did Mr. Keswick tell us what to do next?"
Newbijian shook his head and said, "Chu Huan is also in London now. I heard from Mr. Keswick that Chu Huan still has some connections in London. Now we are just suspending this transaction. As for the follow-up matters, let's
Let’s just wait for the call!”
Bao Fuda said with some disappointment, "Are we still waiting for news?"
Newbijian said firmly, "Since Mr. Keswick can win the first round with Chu Huan, it proves that Mr. Keswick's relationship in England must be stronger than Chu Huan. This matter
After all, this is not an ordinary thing, so it should take some time!"
"That's true!" Bao Fuda nodded, and a smile appeared on his face again.
Then he went to the wine cabinet and took out a bottle of good wine and said, "I think we should celebrate now!"
Newbijian smiled and said, "We should indeed celebrate!"
As the afternoon approached, those Xiangjiang stockholders who were still thinking of selling Jardine Matheson and Land shares once again flocked to various acquisition points of Fengwu Securities.
Although neither Fengwu Securities nor Chinese Real Estate has officially announced anything, sensitive Xiangjiang citizens can also feel that in this period of nationwide sales of real estate and Jardine stock, they are one step behind and may have to wait.
The result is that Chinese Real Estate has completed the acquisition of Jardine Matheson and Land.
So they are in a hurry!
But in the afternoon, when they arrived at the acquisition point of Fengwu Securities, they found that the place was different from what it was in the morning.
Although there are still staff there, the shares of Jardine Matheson and Land are no longer being purchased.
The person at the front couldn't help but ask, "Why? Why not acquire it? Haven't you announced that you have acquired enough shares of Jardine Matheson and Land?"
The staff member had a professional smile on his face, but there was some confusion in his eyes as he said, "This gentleman is very sorry. First of all, we have actually completed the acquisition of Jardine and Land."
"If the acquisition is completed, why don't you announce it on TV?
Do you know that I specially asked for leave this afternoon, and how much things have been delayed for us this day!"
The person in line rudely interrupted the Fengwu Securities staff member before he could finish what he was saying.
The staff of Fengwu Securities did not appear angry because of the other party's rude attitude, and still accompanied him with a careful smile.
"We are very sorry for the loss caused to you, but there is nothing we can do. The notification we received from above means that we have also encountered force majeure factors here, which is why our company cannot publicize this matter. So
We sincerely apologize to you again for the inconvenience caused!"
"Nonsense, who in the whole of Xiangjiang doesn't know about your power in Jiaku? If the No. 8 typhoon signal didn't come to Xiangjiang, who could give you force majeure?"
The person in line is obviously not a very good-tempered person, he is still angry at this time!
The staff of Fengwu Securities continued to accompany Xiao Xin and said, "There are always some. Although our business in Jiaku is not small, it is still a business. You should also know that there is an old saying in our country.
, it’s called the people not fighting against the officials!”
At this point, the staff of Fengwu Securities stopped revealing any more information. In fact, even if he wanted to, he couldn't. He himself didn't know the deeper things.
But the news he told at this time was actually enough!
After the staff of more than a dozen acquisition points of Fengwu Securities gave the same explanation, the matter soon spread in Xiangjiang.
And those reporters in Xiangjiang who had been waiting for Fengwu Securities or Chinese Real Estate to announce the progress of the matter also heard the news at this time.
Then they collectively cheered!
They all also understood that it was not easy to acquire Jardine and Land, and they thought that there would be administrative intervention. But when all this actually happened, they knew that big news was coming.
Thinking of this, these reporters immediately divided into two groups. Some of them quickly returned to their newspapers and told their editors the news.
If there is still no news in this regard from Chinese Real Estate throughout the afternoon, then the Hong Kong government’s decision to halt Chinese Real Estate’s acquisition of Jardine Matheson Land will be the headline in their evening paper tonight and tomorrow morning’s morning paper!
Why would they know it was the Hong Kong government?
At this time, apart from the Hong Kong government having this ability, are there any other organizations that have this ability?
London time, at nine o'clock in the morning.
Chu Huan took a car to Joe Cole's office.
I met Joe Cole alone and the two discussed secretly for more than an hour. The content they discussed was actually similar to what Chu Huan had discussed with Jeffrey Howe before.
Use greater investment and greater benefits to better bind these people together.
Not only that, Chu Huan also proposed to establish an investment company in several die-hard support areas of Qiaokel. To put it bluntly, it is to provide these areas with more job opportunities and more tax revenue, so that Qiaokel can
Gain more public support.
Of course, the apparent owner of this company is a down-and-out British aristocrat.
This is the same thing that the first Indian Prime Minister in British history did in later generations. After his son married the daughter of the Indian IT godfather, he also used this method to separate himself from the British political circle.
The first noble person is deeply bound together.
Only then did he become the first Indian Prime Minister in British history.
This kind of cooperation will not allow Chu Huan to simply take money. Such investment will even bring generous returns to Chu Huan in the future. Simply giving money and political achievements will not make the relationship between them much better.
Deep, only a deeper integration of interests can truly make the cooperation between the two parties closer.
Then Chu Huan went to see Mrs. Thatcher again. The two parties also talked in secret for more than an hour. Finally, Mrs. Thatcher agreed to Chu Huan’s acquisition. Of course, next year, Chu Huan’s Jiaku will cooperate with Thatcher.
Mrs. Chel’s husband has launched a series of investment cooperation overseas
As for what happened in Xiangjiang, Chu Huan did not discuss it with them face to face, because Chu Huan knew that the matter would soon ferment, and then bigger news would be spread back to London. At that time, these people would come to find him.
Already.
Instead of going to them yourself.
To put it simply, in this meeting in the morning, Chu Huan promised more benefits, but without any requirements. These requirements were Chu Huan waiting for them to take the initiative to ask for help at this time!
In the afternoon, Chu Huan invited Joe Cole and Ferdinand to watch the Manchester United game as promised.
Manchester United's home court is still Old Trafford. When Chu Huan, Joe Cole, and Ferdinand arrived here, the game had not started yet, and the Manchester United players were waiting in the locker room.
There are some doubts about the Manchester United players and even their head coach Dave Sexton at this time, because just today the team general manager told them that the real boss of the Manchester United team will come to watch their game today.
, and will also have a dialogue with them before the game starts.
When the Manchester United team was acquired before, everyone from the players to the coach was a little disgusted with this matter. After all, although Manchester United at this time was not as well-known in the world as it would be in later generations, it was still well-known as a local British team.
, but was acquired by a North American sports group.
For a while, it was difficult for them to accept this reality.
In fact, it was not just them, but also the fans of Manchester United. At that time, the fans of Manchester United even broke out a massive protest and demonstration.
However, in the face of absolute capital, these fans, players and coaches are completely inadequate.
If fans don’t like it, they don’t have to watch it!
Players and coaches can resign if they don't accept it!
Anyway, no matter how they make trouble, Sonic Sports, the North American sports group behind Manchester United, is absolutely tough.
Faced with such a result, no matter whether it is fans, players or coaches, they can only surrender in the end.
Then they discovered that after being acquired by Sonic Sports, which has strong financial resources, their happy life began.
First of all, when it comes to selecting people, the group has given them sufficient funds to do whatever they want in the transfer market.
Secondly, after Sonic Sports acquired Manchester United, they immediately began to rebuild the Manchester United team's training facility.
Finally, the home stadium of Manchester United was renovated and Old Trafford is now renamed Nike Stadium.
After this year, everyone discovered that Manchester United has become the richest team in English League One, the team with the most advanced training facilities, and the most luxurious home team.
This is a change in the team, and then there are changes in individual players. These Manchester United players have received advertising endorsements from a company called Nike sneakers.
In this era where sneaker endorsements are more concentrated on long-distance runners, the sneaker endorsements they get are the envy of many players from English League One teams.
Today they heard that their real boss was coming, and these people were very curious to know what their boss was like.
In the dressing room, Ray Wilkins, who just came to Manchester United with a transfer fee of 700,000 pounds this year, was asking a short player next to him who was adjusting his sneakers.
"Diego, I heard that you were named by the big boss to buy Manchester United. Do you know the big boss? What kind of person is he?"
Diego Maradona, one of the only recognized football champions in the world, was supposed to join Barcelona after this year's World Youth Championship. However, Barcelona was intercepted by Chu Huan. Last year,
Chu Huan had already ordered the team to bring the 18-year-old Argentine forward to Manchester United no matter what.
At that time, Chu Huan only knew about Maradona's future fame, but Chu Huan was not sure whether Maradona could adapt to the rhythm of the Premier League and become one of the best players in the world like another time and space.
.
But this does not prevent Chu Huan from bringing Maradona to Manchester United. After all, if successful, Maradona will give Manchester United
Together, Nike brings huge economic benefits.
Due to the current relationship between England and Argentina, Maradona was not accepted by Manchester United fans when he first came to Manchester United. In addition, Maradona was bought by the owner of the team they did not like.
So as soon as Maradona came on the stage, the first thing he received was boos from their home fans.
However, the winner is king in competitive sports. As long as you can perform a performance that convinces the fans, no matter how much they booed you before, they will give you double cheers after you succeed.
Diego Maradona landed in the English League One at the age of 18 and finished second in the League One scorer list in his first season.
Such results have transformed Diego Maradona from being booed by thousands of people to being the darling of Manchester United fans.
But Maradona was also confused at this time.
"I have never met the big boss."
Ray Wilkins was stunned, "How is it possible? Didn't you say that you are the player signed by the big boss? How come you haven't seen him?"
"Ask me, who should I ask!" Maradona complained silently in his heart. From the moment he came to Manchester United, everyone told him that it was the big boss who wanted him by name. This even made Maradona think about it just now.
When I came to the team, I was booed all over the place.
But Maradona has really never met the so-called big boss!
"I really haven't seen it!" Maradona emphasized again.
The conversation between the two attracted the attention of the rest of the team. When everyone heard that Maradona really didn't know their big boss, their curiosity escalated again.
Is their big boss a wizard?
How could he be able to find Maradona, a talented young man, out of nowhere?
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! While the team was chatting, the door to the locker room was pushed open, and they saw their head coach Dave Sexton and the team manager, one on the left and one on the left.
The one on the right came in accompanied by an Asian man thought to be in his 20s.
This was the first time Chu Huan came to the football team's locker room. He didn't expect the smell of sweat to be there, but it was certainly messy.
Chu Huan really didn't know the Manchester United players during this period. There was only one Maradona who seemed familiar to Chu Huan.
"Everyone, this is Mr. Chu Huan, the boss of Sonic Sports, and also the boss of our Manchester United. Everyone applauds and welcomes us!"
Dave Sexton looked at the Manchester United players who were still stunned, with some surprise in his eyes.
It was also the first time that he met Chu Huan today. Naturally, it was impossible for him to think that a sports group in North America had bought their Manchester United team. It turned out that the owner turned out to be a native of Xiangjiang.
Chu Huan looked at the team members who were still a little overwhelmed and said with a smile, "Good afternoon everyone, I am personally very happy to see you all. I hope you can have a good time on the court for the fans who are cheering for you.
As for playing football, I happen to have some business to do in England, so I came to see everyone. I will cheer for you in the audience today."
The team manager smiled and said to Chu Huan, "Chairman, would you like to tell everyone more about your views on football?"
The expressions of Dave Sexton and the Manchester United players in the locker room changed slightly.
What worries a football club the most?
That is a boss who doesn't understand football and changes some of the team's playing styles at will.
Chu Huan waved his hand and said with a smile, "I bought the Manchester United team purely because I am a Manchester United fan and like the sport of football. But compared to everyone else, I am a complete layman, so the layman leads the expert's business.
I can’t do it. How the team plays, whether it’s offensive or defensive, that’s a matter for the head coach and the players to decide, not for me!”
The expressions of everyone in the locker room changed again, and the eyes looking at Chu Huan also changed. No matter what, a person who can clearly understand his own strengths and weaknesses and a big boss who does not give random orders is a good thing for them.
"Okay, I'm just curious about everyone's behavior before the game starts. Now that my curiosity is satisfied, I won't stop you from planning your tactics!
it's here
I wish you all success!"
After saying that, Chu Huan turned around and left without going to chat with Maradona.
Chu Huan and others did not go to the VIP box to watch the game, but came to the best seat in the stand, although it was also called the VIP stand.
But when Chu Huan came here, he unexpectedly discovered four familiar faces.
Prince Charles, his girlfriend Diana, Henry Keswick and the Speaker of the House of Commons, George Thomas.
They are next to Chu Huan, Joe Cole, and Ferdinand.
"I didn't expect that Director Chu is actually the owner of Manchester United. I'm afraid not many people in the whole of Xiangjiang know about this, right?"
When Henry Keswick saw Chu Huan come back, his face showed a winner's smile again.
"I don't know how much business Director Chu has hidden outside Xiangjiang?"
Chu Huan said with a smile, "There is nothing to be curious about in terms of business outside of Xiangjiang. You just need to know that our business in Xiangjiang will include Jardine and Land in the future!"
Henry Keswick's face instantly darkened, but then he showed his smile again and said, "Chu Huan, I think you already know what happened in Xiangjiang. I really can't understand where your confidence at this time comes from.
where?"
Chu Huan's eyes had already fallen on the court at this time, and he said in a calm tone, "In business acquisitions, capital is king. Mr. Keswick, you have been in the business world for so many years, don't you even know this sentence?"
"Any business acquisition must be carried out under certain rules. Unfortunately, it is not you, Chu Huan, who makes these rules!"
Charles suddenly spoke up.
Charles still hasn't forgotten what happened at last night's dinner, and in his opinion, Chu Huan's performance yesterday made it difficult for him to get off the stage, so Charles also dislikes Chu Huan very much.
Charles, who acted out at that time, was easily discovered by Henry Keswick, who had been paying attention to Chu Huan. So at the dinner, Henry Keswick found Charles and told his story.
Of course, Henry Keswick's description naturally included his own subjective thoughts, which made Charles dislike Chu Huan even more.
So thanks to Henry Keswick's connection, Charles also sided with Chu Huan at this time.
The most important thing is that the Hong Kong government can promptly order a halt to the transaction, and Charles is also the one exerting pressure!
"Rules are created by people. I believe that as long as people are strong enough, they can definitely break the inherent rules."
Chu Huan smiled easily.
"Haha, what a loud tone. People who don't know better still think that you, Chu Huan, are a long-established British noble! If rules were so easy to break, there wouldn't be so many rules in this world!"
Charles preached proudly.
"Haha, let's wait and see. Breaking the rules requires courage and ability, while guarding the rules requires strength. I just don't know if Prince Charles has this strength?"
After Chu Huan finished speaking, the team members had already entered the stadium!
