Everything in Hong Kong is proceeding in an orderly manner. In the spring of 1981, there were two major tenders in Hong Kong. One was the HSBC Building reconstruction project, and the other was the MTR Corporation's tender for the property development rights above nine subway stations!
Chu Huan's Jiaku was not directly involved in these two bidding projects, but they were both involved.
Although the HSBC Building reconstruction project is a major project, it is still a construction project. Few real estate companies in Xiangjiang participated in the bidding, but construction companies from all over the world came to Xiangjiang to participate in the bidding.
This also makes this matter quite popular in Hong Kong, but in Hong Kong's business community, it is not as popular as the MTR Corporation's tender project.
After Volkswagen International Investment took a stake in Jiani, Jiani announced its bid.
Chu Huan's place is lively.
Just after the New Year, Guo Desheng and Zheng Yutong found Chu Huan and asked about this incident.
"Ah Huan, you can't favor one over the other. Volkswagen International Investment only holds 10% of the shares in Carin, but you hold a larger share in our two companies, and you are the second largest shareholder!"
Zheng Yutong couldn't help but preach.
According to the current real estate environment in Hong Kong, everyone believes that this MTR Corporation bidding is a project that will surely make a profit without losing any money.
Before this, everyone thought that the real estate companies under Jiaku would participate in the bidding alone, but they did not expect that all three major real estate groups under Jiaku would announce their withdrawal from the bidding this time.
This has made the entire Xiangjiang real estate industry look at it, but at the same time it has greater hope. After all, every real estate developer regards the three major real estate groups under Jiaku as its most important competitors.
What they didn't expect was that although the three major real estate groups under Jiaku withdrew from the bidding, Volkswagen International Investment took a stake in Jiani at this time, and Jiani announced its participation in the bidding with a high profile!
When these two things are connected together, the meaning is naturally self-evident.
Jiaku is supporting Jianing to win the bid in this bidding process!
Sun Hung Kai and New World are the two major real estate companies that have cooperated with Chu Huan for the longest time and have the closest relationship. Now Chu Huan has not chosen to cooperate with them, but has chosen to cooperate with Jia Ning.
Such things will inevitably make Guo Desheng and Zheng Yutong feel a little emotional.
If it was an ordinary relationship, the two of them would definitely be holding grudges in their hearts, and then be well prepared to compete with Jia Ning.
But the relationship between them was too close, so the two came directly to Chu Huan.
Facing the two people's inquiries, Chu Huan felt quite helpless. In fact, Chu Huan had already expected the arrival of the two of them. After all, this project of the MTR Corporation was really too big.
No one can give up easily.
But there were still some things that surprised Chu Huan.
That is, only the two of them came, and Li Jiacheng and Li Zhaoji did not come.
In later generations, the three Guo brothers, the Zheng Yutong family, the Li Jiacheng family, and the Li Zhaoji family were known as the four major families in the Xiangjiang real estate industry.
They are even called the four major families in Hong Kong!
Now that people from the two major families have come, the other two have not come. After a brief thought, Chu Huan understood the key.
The main reason why the four major families have been able to stand in Hong Kong for decades without falling is actually their control of current affairs.
Among them, Li Jiacheng and Li Zhaoji are the most sensitive to current affairs.
Looking at the development journey of the two major groups of Cheung Kong and Henderson, they have always been able to successfully survive every economic crisis in Hong Kong. Not only have they survived, but they have also been able to strengthen their power through every economic crisis.
Although the real estate industry in Xiangjiang is at its peak now, Jiaku's own analysis team can see the current vacancy rate of housing in Xiangjiang.
Naturally, some people can see it.
Through a horizontal analysis of history, some far-sighted people will inevitably discover the patterns, especially Li Jiacheng, who actually had very frequent contact with his hometown during this period.
Naturally, I also know the attitude of my hometown towards Xiangjiang.
On the other hand, Zheng Yutong and others, although they have a very keen sense of business, they are not so keen on political factors.
Especially Zheng Yutong.
In March next year, Hong Kong Governor MacLehose will leave office. At that time, the attitude of his hometown towards Hong Kong began to become rampant in Hong Kong. At that time, the business community in Hong Kong was divided into two groups.
A wave of people organized a delegation to visit Britain to advise Britain not to abandon Hong Kong; others organized a delegation to Beijing to find out the attitude of their hometown.
This wave of visiting delegations headed to their hometown was headed north by Feng Jingxi, who led a delegation composed of business tycoons from Guangdong Province including Zheng Yutong, Li Jiacheng, Guo Desheng, Li Zhaoji, Hu Yingxiang, etc.
They were received by leaders from their hometown in the capital, and the focus of the conversation was the future of Hong Kong.
Someone recorded Zheng Yutong's conversation at that time.
At the meeting at that time, Zheng Yutong showed his shortcomings in political factors outside the business world, and repeatedly said inappropriate words. This also led to Zheng Yutong being labeled a childish politician by the Hong Kong media after returning to Hong Kong!
From this incident, we can actually see that the Hong Kong businessmen at this time were uncertain about the future environment of Hong Kong.
It is precisely because of this situation that Zheng Yutong and Guo Desheng cannot clearly feel that Xiangjiang will definitely undergo big changes in the future like Li Jiacheng and Li Zhaoji.
And such changes will definitely affect the business environment in Hong Kong in a short period of time.
The MTR Corporation's bid looks good, but in fact, due to the environment in Hong Kong next year, the project will eventually be shelved.
But Chu Huan definitely couldn't tell Zheng Yutong and Guo Desheng about this matter at this time.
"Two of you, haven't you already formed a joint consortium to compete for this project? If Jiaku proposes to join now, not to mention that you need to redistribute the equity distribution of the new consortium, or the concession of each other's interests should be
A head-scratching thing, right?”
Again, the MTR Corporation's project this time is really too big. Even Sun Hung Kai and New World Real Estate, which are among the top real estate companies in Hong Kong, would find it difficult for one person to take on such a large project.
In addition, they previously believed that the three major real estate groups under Jiaku will definitely participate, so after discussion, Sun Hung Kai and New World real estate companies took the lead and joined several other real estate companies to form a new consortium.
Conduct this tender!
What surprised them was that this time, the three major real estate groups under Jiaku did not participate in the bidding. Instead, they supported Jiali's bid by investing in Jiali by Volkswagen International!
Guo Desheng and Zheng Yutong didn't know what to say to Chu Huan for a while.
Seeing this, Chu Huan smiled and said, "Boy, we Jiaku really have no intention of participating in the MTR Corporation's bidding this time. As for buying a stake in Jianing
You have also seen the development of Jianing in the past two years. Such a rapid development of the group has never happened in Xiangjiang in the past. We, Jiaku, are simply optimistic about the future development of this group company. If it were the same in the past, we would think
It is impossible to successfully obtain so many shares of Jianning.
So this time, it’s just a matter of following the trend, so the matter of the MTR Corporation’s bidding is still a matter for you to compete for, and has nothing to do with our Jiaku!”
This means that they have a good cooperative partnership and a very good personal relationship.
Otherwise, Chu Huan would not explain anything to them.
However, the two of them breathed a sigh of relief when they heard what Chu Huan said. They were not worried about Jia Ning's competition with them. They were worried about how much Jia Ku would do in this matter. Now they heard that Chu Huan just
I am simply optimistic about the development of Jiali and want to invest in Jiali.
Naturally, the worries in my heart are not that big anymore.
As the top businessmen in Xiangjiang, they still have this confidence!
Guo Desheng sat there with a smile on his face and said, "Ah Huan, you just said something wrong!"
Chu Huan also smiled and asked, "Uncle Guo, do you think I made a mistake in what I said?"
Guo Desheng said, "That's the speed of development of Jianing. To be honest, Jianing's development has been very rapid in the past two years. But to say that it is the fastest growing group in Hong Kong is an exaggeration. Who doesn't know that throughout the 1970s?
The most rapidly developing area in Xiangjiang is your Jiaku!"
"That's right!" Zheng Yutong agreed, "Now Jiaku's development territory has already exceeded Xiangjiang. In the entire global business history, Jiaku's development speed is also one of the best!"
Chu Huan said modestly, "We in Jiaku just caught up with a good time!"
Now that this matter has been discussed, there is no need for the three of them to dwell on this matter anymore. However, Chu Huan thought of something when he saw Zheng Yutong.
"Uncle Zheng, I know you have many connections in Canada. I would like to ask you how much you know about Shanmei Computer?"
Chu Huan asked Zheng Yutong.
Although Chu Huan's current investment in Canada is also very large, and his network of relationships is also very extensive, these are all based on relationships in high-rise buildings. Chu Huan does not know as much as Zheng Yutong about the underlying business environment.
At the beginning, Chu Huan used investments in Australia and Canada as a network to unite wealthy businessmen in Hong Kong. At the beginning, Zheng Yutong chose Canada.
In fact, Zheng Yutong has always invested in Canada, and he chose Canada for his own business reasons.
Of course, if Chu Huan wants to find Shanmei Computer, he can find it, but now that Zheng Yutong is here, he might be able to find out faster by asking him.
But Chu Huan was a little disappointed that after thinking about it for a while, Zheng Yutong had no impression of Shanmei Computer.
"What about Ding Wei? Do you have any impression of this person?"
Chu Huan continued to ask.
Ding Wei, the founder of Shanmei Computer, Shanmei Computer is no longer famous in later generations, but in Canada in the 1980s, Ding Wei's Shanmei Computer was still very famous.
Ding Wei was born in Shenghai, and later came to Xiangjiang with his family. Ding Wei studied in Canada, and he founded Shanmei Computer this year.
But it was obvious that Ding Wei was still an unknown person at this time. Zheng Yutong shook his head after hearing the name.
"I've never heard of such a powerful person in Canada. Ah Huan, why did you suddenly think of asking about this person?"
Chu Huan smiled and said, "When I was in North America before, I heard from a friend that there was a man named Ding Wei in Canada who had made great achievements in computers, so I wanted to ask about him!"
The reason why Chu Huan asked Zheng Yutong to ask Ding Wei was actually because Zheng Yutong later invested in Ding Wei's Shanmei Computer.
When he started his business, Ding Wei was ambitious and wanted to be a computer tycoon like Bill Gates and Steve Jobs.
However, in the early days, Ding Wei had little money and reputation in North America, but now his hometown takes these Chinese entrepreneurs from Western countries seriously.
Ding Wei took advantage of this environment and signed a 2.7 billion yuan research and development contract with his hometown. He used cheap labor resources in his hometown to produce the products developed by Ding Wei, and then sold them in North America through a sales network controlled by Shanmei.
The plan is feasible, but Ding said that what is most lacking is funds. Without funds, no matter how good the plan is, it can only be done on paper.
Hong Kong tycoons such as Zheng Yutong, He Hongshen, etc., no matter which city in Canada they are in, there will always be countless cooperation projects beckoning to them.
Zheng and He took a fancy to Ding Wei's Shanmei Computer. They believed that even if Shanmei Computer could not become Microsoft or Apple Computer in the future, the sales network it controlled could help it become a business group with promising prospects.
As a result, Zheng Yutong and He Hongshen each acquired more than 8 million shares of Shanmei Computer.
In December 1986, Shanmei Computer was listed in Toronto, raising only a pitiful amount of more than 5 million Canadian dollars. But soon, Shanmei Computer launched a series of acquisition activities. In the 11 months from 1988 to 1989 alone, it conducted four acquisitions.
, the largest of which was the acquisition of the North American Singer Clothing and Truck Company for 300 million yuan.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! This mosquito-type company in Toronto has become an international enterprise in North America.
At that time, many people in the securities industry in Toronto criticized Shanmei Company for its rapid development. However, Chinese immigrants in Canada and investors in Hong Kong were optimistic about its Chinese potential. They were even more optimistic about the support of super rich people such as Zheng Yutong and He Hongshen who were behind the scenes. Once there was an opportunity,
, they competed to invest in Shanmei stocks.
Later, Shanmei invested in the production of its electronic products in Pengcheng. At that time, Shanmei also cooperated with many Chinese manufacturers to sell their off-brand products in North America and other markets under the well-known North American trademark "Singer" brand.
Singer Group's sales network covers more than 100 countries and regions. Shanmei effectively leverages China's labor advantages and Singer's sales advantages.
What Chu Huan is interested in is the subsequent sales network of Shanmei Computer. Jiuzhou's current development in the computer field has become an important force outside of North American technology companies, but its products are still difficult to open in North America.
Sales, even with Kyushu's strong sales network.
The main reason is that as a Hong Kong-based technology company, Jiuzhou's products are difficult to be recognized by North American consumers.
If Shanmei acquires Singer, then Jiuzhou can complete the acquisition of Shanmei later, so that it can accept the entire Singer sales network. It is actually a very difficult thing for Jiuzhou to acquire Singer. After all,
This involves high-tech fields.
It's easy to trigger a North American reaction.
Through Lianlian Holdings, it will be much easier to change Jiuzhou's brand to Singer and then enter the North American market.
Chu Huan is now asking about Ding Wei's situation. What he actually wants to do is to invest in Shanmei in advance. After Shanmei Computer completes the acquisition and digestion of Singer, Jiuzhou can treat Ding Wei as a puppet!
Now that Zheng Yutong doesn't know this person, it seems that Chen Haichao can only ask Chen Haichao to send people to Canada to find Shanmei Computer!
However, what Chu Huan did not expect was that this time he accidentally asked Zheng Yutong about Ding's name, causing Zheng Yutong to remember this person's name in advance.
This also led to Zheng Yutong investing in Shanmei Computer earlier in the later period, but by that time Jiuzhou had already completed its investment in Shanmei Computer. Instead, Zheng Yutong later became a helper in Jiuzhou's acquisition of Shanmei Computer!
After sending away Zheng Yutong and Guo Desheng, there was basically nothing going on in Xiangjiang.
Chu Huan called Xu Yi and gave some instructions about Xiangjiang. After that, Chu Huan and Hu Yingxiang set off to their hometown to discuss the construction of the highway.
As Chu Huan had guessed before, his hometown did not object to Hu Yingxiang's investment in his hometown's highway business. The only concern was Hu Yingxiang's financial problems.
Now that Chu Huan is here, his hometown has more trust in this matter.
But the issue of funding is still a concern.
"Director Chu, you have to know that building a highway will be a huge investment. Before this, we have also studied that the Guangzhou-Shenzhen-Zhuhai Expressway alone will require an investment of at least 1.5 billion US dollars.
There has never been a precedent in China of using external funds to build its own roads before. If we agree to this project, it will attract international attention. If there are some accidents, we cannot afford to lose this person!"
The old man who was responsible for discussing this matter with Chu Huan and Hu Yingxiang spoke to Chu Huan very seriously.
Chu Huan nodded and said with a smile, "Of course we understand this, but since we are here to see you today, we naturally come here with sincerity. As long as our hometown can agree, our Jiaku will have a good relationship with Hu."
Hopewell Properties has jointly established a new consortium to invest US$4 billion in the initial stage to build a domestic high-speed network.
If you still have any questions, I can ask the company to prepare the money now and deposit it into the domestic Jiaku Bank as directional funds!"
If you have money, you will be tough in your words!
This is what Chu Huan means today. If this domestic highway network can be successfully built, Chu Huan will not hesitate to build more than a dozen commercial buildings in the country, and the annual tolls will be enough for Chu Huan.
Enjoy making lots of money!
The old man was obviously shocked by Chu Huan's trenchant nature.
The old man naturally knew about Chu Huan. First it was Shenghai's bg project, and then he proposed it. The two super projects that had caused debate in his hometown for a full year. Now if we add this one, it's just
It is Chu Huan alone whose domestic investment has reached 50 billion US dollars!
What a good friend from home!
This is a good friend from home!
"I heard that Director Chu wants to designate the construction of a highway?" The old man did not show his emotions, but suddenly asked Chu Huan about what Chu Huan and Hu Yingxiang had said before.
Chu Huan nodded and said, "Actually, it's not one. If possible, I hope it's two. You should also know that our Jiaku has actually been waiting for the response from our hometown to our two investment projects. If our hometown finally
If I can agree, I hope that the cities where these two projects are located can be connected to Beijing and to the expressway!"
Hu Yingxiang on the side was a little confused at this time. Like many Xiangjiang businessmen, he knew that Chu Huan actually invested a lot in his hometown.
However, now that I heard the investment projects mentioned by Chu Huan and the old man on such an occasion, the two projects proposed still require the cooperation of the expressway. How big of a project must this be?
But no matter what, what is certain is that these two projects are definitely different from the projects invested by other Xiangjiang businessmen.
What Chu Huan said next shocked him even more.
"In addition, we not only need the cooperation of highways, but also the cooperation of power plants. Again, if my hometown can agree to invest our funds, I will join hands with the Kadoorie family in Xiangjiang to invest in these two buildings.
The construction of two large power plants in the city will not only provide enough power for our projects, but also provide sufficient power supply for the cities surrounding the two power plants!"
Previously, Michael Kadoorie had asked Chu Huan what his family could invest in if he came to his hometown to invest. Although Chu Huan had suggestions at that time, in fact, the Kadoorie family itself also had its own considerations.
The old Kadoorie flew to his hometown many times to discuss the matter. Finally, in 1979, the Kadoorie family's CLP began to provide excess electricity to Guangdong Province.
Whether it is road construction or power supply, these are all infrastructure construction. Now that my hometown is seeking a path to rapid development, it is naturally inseparable from these two items.
Chu Huan's suggestion can be said to have solved the urgent need of his hometown.
But the old man thought he understood what Chu Huan meant, that is, if his hometown agreed to Chu Huan's two super projects, Chu Huan would build expressways and power plants in these two cities.
Chu Huan saw the old man's expression and said with a smile, "You have always misunderstood. Our Jiaku is willing to invest in the construction of these infrastructures, which has no direct relationship with the two super projects that our Jiaku has invested in."
"What do you mean, Director Chu?" The old man looked at Chu Huan with some confusion and excitement.
Chu Huan said, "No matter whether my hometown agrees with our two projects in Jiaku, our group is willing to add our own strength to the development and construction of our hometown!"
Although the participation in infrastructure construction may not seem as dazzling as those real estate, technology and other projects of later generations, in fact, the profits of these engineering projects are the real big part. Compared with this, real estate, technology and other projects are simply worthless.
Mention it!
And the political impact it brings is also different.
Finally, such a project will not cause the outside world to have any bad thoughts about Jiaku's behavior. The high-tech industry will be the project that will be the most severely suppressed by the international community in the next few decades.
When the old man heard what Chu Huan said, the smile on his face became brighter and brighter, and he said seriously, "Dr. Chu's feelings are really touching. On behalf of my hometown, I would like to express my gratitude to you!"
Chu Huan smiled and said, "You are too polite. As a businessman, I can clearly feel how difficult it is outside without a strong country as a background!"
Later, Chu Huan and Hu Yingxiang discussed specific investment matters with the old man.
After the old man left, Hu Yingxiang finally couldn't help but Qian Qian's curiosity.
"Director Chu, what kind of two super projects do you want to invest in your hometown?"
Chu Huan waved his hands and did not tell Hu Yingxiang about this. He just smiled and said, "We haven't decided on the horoscope yet. It's too early to say this. Let's talk about it later if we can succeed!"
When Hu Yingxiang saw that Chu Huan didn't want to say anything, he very wisely stopped asking, but still smiled and preached.
"With your support this time, Director Chu, I think my hometown is very supportive of our investment. Maybe we will get a reply soon this time!"
Chu Huan also smiled and nodded, "I hope so!"
Hu Yingxiang was filled with emotion when he saw Chu Huan's unfazed appearance. Although Chu Huan didn't tell him what the two super projects he invested in his hometown just now were, what was certain was that since Chu Huan wanted to let
The two projects of highway and power plant serving it have already shown that this is definitely a super project.
The only thing that makes Hu Yingxiang curious now is how big the investment in these two projects is. Is it US$5 billion or US$10 billion?
If Hu Yingxiang knew that Chu Huan’s estimated investment amount in these two projects was US$40 billion, his jaw would definitely drop!
"Hu Sheng, if there is nothing else, I will leave first. I have other things to do in the capital!"
Chu Huan stood up and smiled.
Hu Yingxiang reminded Chu Huan, "Director Chu, don't forget the welcome dinner tonight!"
Chu Huan and Hu Yingxiang came back this time for normal investment matters, so their hometown also prepared a welcome dinner for them!
Chu Huan nodded and said, "Of course I can't forget this!"
Chu Huan then left the Jingcheng Hotel accompanied by Wu Shuhan, and first went to the hotel invested and built by Jiaku in Jingcheng to have a look. The hotel has been completed and is undergoing interior decoration.
"It is expected that all the interior decoration will be completed in September this year. From now on, boss, you will not have to stay in the Jingcheng Hotel when you come to Beijing!"
After hearing this, Chu Huan laughed and said, "I am not Guo Henian. I would rather live in my own place!"
Wu Shuhan smiled and said, "The construction of Prince Heng's Mansion may take some time. The planning of its original appearance has just been completed, which involves a lot of materials that need to be transported from all over the country. At the same time, some modern products inside,
It also needs to be shipped overseas. I have talked with the design team before and it will take at least three years to complete this project!"
Chu Huan nodded indifferently and said, "Slow work will produce careful work, just wait!"
