798, Four mysterious figures in Xiangjiang business world
After entering 1981, there was less and less news about Jiaku in the Xiangjiang business community.
It would be understandable if we say that this is a time when Xiangjiang's business community is in a downturn, but now that everything is going well in Xiangjiang's development, Jiaku seems to be very low-key, which is a bit confusing.
Especially regarding the bidding for the reconstruction project of the HSBC Building and the bidding for the property development rights of the MTR Corporation on the subway station. These two major projects can be said to have attracted the attention of all Hong Kong people. Not even a Jiaku group participated.
competitive bidding.
This has to make people curious.
Of course, this kind of curiosity is limited to medium-sized consortiums in Xiangjiang, companies below, and ordinary people.
Those top Xiangjiang businessmen still know that there is actually a shadow of Jiaku in these two projects.
But in any case, compared to Jiaku, which made big news from time to time in the 1970s, after entering the 1980s, it has become much more low-key to the naked eye.
In addition, today's Xiangjiang is developing too fast. Various group companies are developing rapidly. Jiani, for example, has developed from a company with a market value of just over 100 million to a company in less than two years.
A large consortium with a market value of over HK$3 billion.
It's enough to attract a lot of people's attention.
Whether it is the business circle or the entertainment circle, the situation is actually the same. In a period of rapid development, if you do not appear in front of the public for a long time, no matter how popular a star you were before, you will be quickly dismissed.
Forgotten.
This is why so many South Korean and Taiwanese artists are trying every possible means to think of how to escape their military service.
They are really afraid that their fans will forget them.
Although the business circle is not like this, the situation is generally similar.
As Jiaku makes fewer and fewer big moves in Xiangjiang, even if it does, it is done in the name of various group branches. This is enough for many people in Xiangjiang to slowly start to refer to Jiaku.
The name Ku is placed deepest in my memory.
If this situation continues, after a few years, an old man may suddenly say: Jiaku? I know that it was once the largest consortium in Hong Kong, beating HSBC, but now it seems that I haven’t heard his name for a long time!
And this is actually the effect Chu Huan is pursuing.
Chu Huan no longer needs to pay attention to the ups and downs outside. At this time, Chu Huan is basically living in Xiangjiang, traveling back and forth between his hometown and occasionally going to Japan or European and American countries to make some important decisions for his local industry.
Decided to meet important tasks to reconcile the relationship between the two parties, or to add some equipment to the two major investment plans in my hometown.
Thus, in May, the bidding for the HSBC Building reconstruction project officially ended.
To everyone's expectation, South Korea's Hyundai Group won this project to rebuild the HSBC Tower.
"Director Chu, we are very grateful to Jiaku for taking care of us during this period. Without Jiaku, our Hyundai Group would not have been able to win this project."
On this day, Zheng Mengxian came to Chu Huan's office and spoke to Chu Huan with a joyful expression.
Successfully won the reconstruction plan of the HSBC Building, and then negotiated with Chu Huan about the supply of wood raw materials. Zheng Mengxian's trip to Hong Kong can be said to have been so smooth that Zheng Mengxian couldn't believe it.
But this is no longer important. The successful victory of this project has made his position in the Hyundai Group more solid.
Chu Huan said with a smile on his face: "Mr. Zheng, you are so polite. This is a manifestation of the strength of your Hyundai Group. In fact, our Jiaku didn't help much."
Chu Huan can be said to be humble, but Zheng Mengxian cannot take all this for granted.
"Director Chu, don't worry, we will be best friends from now on. If there is anything you can do for Jiaku's business in South Korea, please feel free to ask!"
Zheng Mengxian was really happy. Just before he came to see Chu Huan, he received a call from his father. On the phone, Zheng Zhouyong praised Zheng Mengxian's behavior in Hong Kong and said that he would kill him after Zheng Mengxian returned to fight South Korea.
Arrange to join the board of directors of Hyundai Group and officially become the executive director of Hyundai Group!
You must know that before this, only Zheng Mengjiu had this kind of treatment.
"Director Chu, I will return to Seoul tomorrow. I hope you can support me, Director Chu, with the matters in Xiangjiang!"
Although Zheng Mengxian is the main person in charge of the reconstruction of the Hong Kong HSBC Building, now that the project has been taken over by Hyundai Group, he will not stay in Xiangjiang for a long time. The person who implements the specific project will stay in this category.
Chu Huan nodded and said with a smile: "This is what it should be. After all, we are also in a cooperative relationship!"
Zheng Mengxian breathed a sigh of relief and said: "With your words, Director Chu, I am relieved. To be honest, I am still a little scared now, for fear that some accidents may occur during the implementation of this project."
Chu Huan smiled and said: "As long as everything is done as required, there will be no problem. If there is a problem, our Jiaku will definitely help wherever we can!"
Zheng Mengxian thanked him again: "I will come to Xiangjiang often in the future, and I will definitely remember Director Chu's friendship."
After some reservations between the two parties, Zheng Mengxian left the Chinese Bank.
"Boss, it seems that Zheng Zhouyong still hasn't forgotten the humiliation you gave him before!"
After Zheng Mengxian left, Xu Yi smiled and talked to Chu Huan.
"According to the normal process, although Zheng Mengxian is responsible for this matter at Hyundai Group, according to the size of this project, Zheng Zhouyong will come to Xiangjiang to sign a formal contract with HSBC on behalf of Hyundai Group. But this time, Zheng Mengxian is completely responsible.
It shows that Zheng Zhouyong doesn’t like Xiangjiang very much!”
After hearing this, Chu Huan laughed and said: "I don't like South Korea yet, but this does not prevent us from making money in South Korea, so there is nothing to say about these things. Now we just need to develop according to our plan!"
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Xu Yi nodded, and then reported to Chu Huan the situation in Jiaku recently.
"Krabi Group, the soybean products company we are cooperating with Guo, has been officially established. The first thing we will develop is edible oil with Arowana as its flagship product. It is expected to be officially launched at the end of the year."
Chu Huan had already discussed this matter with Guo when he was in Brazil. Of course, the Arowana brand was taken out by Chu Huan in advance. At the same time, the headquarters of the Krabi Group did not want the Yihai Group to be placed in Singapore.
But in Xiangjiang.
In addition to edible oil, Krabi Group will also develop various products, but Arowana edible oil is definitely the flagship product of Krabi Group at this stage.
"In addition, the seed company Jiawang Group has also been established. Now its research laboratory in Brazil has been listed. It is now recruiting various scientific researchers from all over the world. It is also expected to officially start research at the end of this year!
The warehouse group in Brazil has started construction and is expected to be completed in March next year."
After finishing speaking, Xu Yi reminded Chu Huandao.
"Boss, as we invest more and more in this area, the four major grain merchants will definitely set their sights on us, especially now that we have begun to purchase farms and build warehousing and other companies in Argentina."
After hearing this, Chu Huan nodded and said: "What is supposed to come will always come. We cannot give up on our development just because they are here. But now it is a very good situation for us. We are not arrogant enough to let them give up."
This is our best opportunity for development!”
The four major grain merchants never thought that anyone would challenge their monopoly in this field, so when Jiasheng Grain Group was established, the four major grain merchants did not take it seriously.
However, they did not put him in their eyes, but Chu Huan had to be wary of them.
Therefore, in the initial stage, the entire agricultural development of Jiaku was divided into several groups by Chu Huan at the same time. The company responsible for Brazilian agricultural planting, storage, acquisition and other businesses was established as Jiasheng Grain Group.
Jiawang Group is responsible for seed research and development and other agricultural products.
Krabi Group is responsible for the processing of finished products.
At the same time, when the contracts between Chu Huan, Bao Yugang and others expire in the future, Wheelock Shipping will be responsible for their transportation.
Although such behavior will not be hidden for too long, for Chu Huan, even a little time is a success.
"Our Jiayue Steel Group in Australia has been completed. The person in charge there called and invited you, the chairman, to preside over the opening ceremony!"
From the perspective of agriculture and mining, it can actually be seen that Chu Huan is consciously reducing the frequency of Jiaku's appearance in the world and using other company names.
Chu Huan said to Xu Yi: "I would like to extend an invitation to our partners in Xiangjiang and Mitsui Takacho of Mitsui & Co., so that everyone can go together!"
Xu Yi nodded.
In the following days, Chu Huan's major partners in Xiangjiang received calls from Jiaku's office. Naturally, everyone had no objections and said that they would be happy to go there.
But before everyone leaves for Australia, there is another major event going on in Xiangjiang, which is also attracting the attention of all Xiangjiang real estate companies!
This matter is about the MTR Corporation's bidding for property development rights above nine subway stations.
This matter can be said to have attracted the attention of all real estate companies in Xiangjiang except the three major real estate groups under Jiaku!
By the end of May, the winning bidder was finally announced.
The development in Xiangjiang in the past two years is like the Jianing Group with wings!
After the bidding results came out, Jianing immediately sent a 400 million deposit, and Qian Zhengnan held a press conference on behalf of Chen Songqing.
At the meeting, Qian Zhengnan answered questions from many reporters.
What most people ask is what kind of capital is behind Jianing that can support their rapid development.
It is naturally impossible for Qian Zhengnan to answer this question directly. After all, even he himself does not know.
But this does not prevent Qian Zhengnan from speaking out about his praise of Jia Ning Group.
The reporters at the scene actually had their own answers in their hearts. Anyway, it was as mentioned before. They did not think that Carinen had the capital of Wall Street, and the capital of the Thai royal family was the capital of the Soviet banks.
Regardless, many people were surprised that Jia Ning was able to get this project.
The next day, major newspapers in Xiangjiang gave their front pages to Jianing.
‘Hong Kong’s new generation business empire—Jia Ning!’
As the head of Jianing, Chen Songqing has become the most popular figure in Xiangjiang during this period. Coupled with his low-key and mysterious personality, almost no newspaper can interview Chen Songqing. This adds to Chen Songqing's reputation.
became more topical.
Some media have even listed Chen Songqing as one of the four mysterious figures in the Hong Kong business community!
Chu Huan, Chen Haichao, Zhu Xiaozhao and Chen Songqing are the four mysterious figures in the Xiangjiang business world!
In fact, before this, Chu Huan was not on the list. After all, Chu Huan was still very high-profile in the 1970s, but after entering the 1980s, Chu Huan completely stopped appearing in public, which also added to Chu Huan's
of mystery.
Chen Haichao has nothing to say. Since the founding of Jiuzhou, he has not been interviewed by the media. Even now, many people in Xiangjiang do not know that the chairman of Jiuzhou is Chen Haichao.
Zhu Xiaozhao actually made a high-profile appearance once when Yunhai Group dominated the retail industry in Xiangjiang. However, the high-profile person at that time was Yunhai Group and not Zhu Xiaozhao. Later, everyone also knew that Yunhai Group actually had a deep connection with Chu Huan's Jiaku.
At that time, many people began to speculate on the relationship between Chu Huan and Zhu Xiaozhao.
However, Chu Huan and Zhu Xiaozhao, the two parties involved, did not respond directly to this matter. Afterwards, various things happened in Xiangjiang, and everyone forgot about this matter.
As for the mystery of Chen Songqing, it was mentioned during this period. Although Jianning's development was rapid last year, there was no single incident that was too eye-catching. Now Jianning has defeated many real estate companies in Xiangjiang in one fell swoop and obtained the
This project of the MTR Corporation suddenly became the most high-profile businessman in Hong Kong.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! There will be more discussions about him!
"Chairman, according to reports from our people, since meeting you, Chen Songqing has met with the general manager of Yumin Finance three times, with Roy Bentley of HSBC once, and with Shen Bi twice. Second-rate!"
Wu Xiaohui was called to the office by Chu Huan. Wu Xiaohui was reporting to Chu Huan on Chen Songqing's situation during this period.
After hearing this, Chu Huan smiled and said, "It seems that HSBC is supporting Jia Ning this time!"
Wu Xiaohui said with a smile: "According to the information we received, including long-term loans and short-term loans, HSBC has provided nearly 1 billion Hong Kong dollars in funds for Jia Ning!"
There is only one Jiaku in Xiangjiang, and only a company of Jiaku's size is not worried about a loan of 1 billion Hong Kong dollars, and this loan is a big loan to other groups in Xiangjiang.
You must know that in another time and space, a group of the size of Real Estate almost overwhelmed it with a loan of 1.5 billion, let alone a consortium like Jiani.
And this is only the loan from HSBC to Jiani. If you add in the loans from Yumin Finance and other banks, Jiani's loan at this time is already an astronomical figure.
"Instead of destroying it, you must first make it crazy!"
Chu Huan smiled nonchalantly: "Let's see what changes Jianing will bring to Xiangjiang this time!"
No matter what, now is definitely not the time for Jia Ning's collapse, so Chu Huan will temporarily put Jia Ning's situation aside.
Now that the MTR Corporation's tender has ended, Chu Huan has officially led these wealthy businessmen from Hong Kong to Australia to attend the opening ceremony of the Jiayue Steel Group!
Originally, in Chu Huan's mind, after Jianing had this project, it should not expand as crazy as in another time and space, but should calm down and develop this project of the MTR Corporation.
As a result, Chu Huan still underestimated Chen Songqing's madness.
Throughout 1981, Carnegie did not stop its crazy expansion.
After entering June, Carin announced that it had purchased about 10% of the shares of the listed company Union Bank at a price of HK$9 per share.
In June of the same year, Jia Ning announced an agreement with Ayala International (Enterprise) Co., Ltd., the Philippines' major shareholder of Chang Life Insurance Co., Ltd., in which Jia Ning would exchange 15 million shares (equivalent to 6% of Jia Ning Real Estate's issued shares) for 46% stake in Qichang Life Insurance.
Qichang Life Insurance is a listed company in Hong Kong. Its main business is life, home water insurance and fire insurance. It has branches and agencies in England, Australia, Malaysia, Singapore and Thailand.
By August, a consortium composed of Jiani Real Estate (accounting for 33%), Great Eagle (accounting for 25%), Jiani Group (accounting for 22%), Miramar (accounting for 7.5%) and Xinjingfeng (accounting for 7.5%), Announced the purchase of a piece of land in the old wing of Miramar Hotel from Miramar for HK$2.8 billion, on the condition that 15% be paid up front, the other 18% will be paid within the next six months, and the remaining balance of HK$100 million was paid on May 4, 1983 After payment, the land is planned to be built with a "landmark" style commercial building, and all projects are expected to be completed by the end of 1995.
Also in August of this year, Carin announced that it would cooperate with Great Eagle to purchase 69,400 square feet of land from Swire at a cost of HK$120 million to convert it into an industrial building.
In November, Carining struck again, announcing that it would exchange Caraning stock for 50% of the equity of a New Zealand insurance company!
It can be said that the busiest company in the entire Xiangjiang business community is the Jianing Group.
At this time, Chu Huan was sitting on the sofa in his office, reading the newspaper in his hand. Jia Ning's development this year has also attracted the attention of the Hong Kong media.
But not everyone is optimistic about Jia Ning's development.
"Jia Ning is like a greedy housewife who runs into the supermarket and puts everything she finds suitable in the basket without caring about the price!"
Seeing a commentator in the newspaper commenting on Jia Ning's development this year, Chu Huan just smiled and put the newspaper aside.
Wu Shuhan, who had just returned to Xiangjiang from her hometown, now has a more capable temperament.
"I didn't expect that within this year, the fastest growing company in Xiangjiang would be Jianing!"
Wu Shuhan looked at the newspaper in his hand and said with some curiosity.
"Castles in the air are just making wedding clothes for others!"
Chu Huan preached lightly.
"Actually, if there is no market crisis, there may not be any problems with the development of Jia Ning?" Wu Shuhan expressed his opinion.
Naturally, it was impossible for Wu Shuhan to predict like Chu Huan that the market situation in Xiangjiang next year would undergo earth-shaking changes, but she also heard Chu Huan analyze some of the situation in Xiangjiang next year.
In Wu Shuhan's view, although Jiani's development is very fast, as long as Jiani's stock price can remain so strong, Jiani will not come back!
Chu Huan smiled and said: "How can the market be good all the time?"
To be honest, there are still some things that surprised Chu Huan about the development of Jiani this year, that is, when the land in the old wing of Miramar Hotel was acquired, in another time and space, Jiani joined hands with Land to carry out the project.
.
However, now that Real Estate has been acquired by Chu Huan, naturally he is not involved in this matter.
But he didn't expect that Luo Ging-lion would let Jia Ning contact the Great Eagle. In Jian Ning's expansion, the Great Eagle became a special existence.
The Great Eagle Group also expanded within this year through its cooperation with Jia Ning and became a well-known real estate company in Hong Kong.
But thinking about it, Chu Huan guessed the reason. Among the Xiangjiang real estate companies, the ones that have the deepest connection with HSBC are Eagle King and Carinth. It is understandable that these two groups are now cooperating.
In fact, in another time and space, the real estate company that received the most help from HSBC in this era should be Lijiacheng's Changshi Real Estate.
But although the relationship between Li Jiacheng and Shen Bi is still there, the lack of the acquisition of Hutchison by Cheung Kong has resulted in the lack of contact between Cheung Kong and HSBC.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "Let's go, it's time to go back!"
Chu Huan said with a smile.
Wu Shuhan nodded and looked at the already dark sky outside, took out Chu Huan's coat from the hanger, helped Chu Huan put it on, and the two walked out of the office together.
Wu Shuhan followed Chu Huan to Miao Kexiu's villa in the middle of the mountain. During this period, Chu Huan had been coming here. After Cao Yunshang, Zhao Yazhi, and Zhu Xiaozhao gave birth to three boys to Chu Huan, Miao Kexiu
Finally, Chu Huan gave birth to a girl this year.
Named Chu Shiqin!
As Chu Huan's first daughter, Chu Huan naturally liked her very much, so Chu Huan would come to Miao Kexiu when she had nothing to do in the past few months.
In addition, Tanaka Anhui also gave birth to a son for Chu Huan, named Chu Shixuan.
Since then, Chu Huan has had four sons and one daughter.
After giving birth to Chu Shixuan, Tanaka Anhui did not return to Tokyo, Japan, but stayed in Xiangjiang. Her residence was next to the residence of her friend Ryoko, and they would meet frequently on weekdays.
Although Miao Kexiu was sitting on the sofa chatting with Wu Shuhan, her eyes were always looking at Chu Huan and Chu Shiqin.
In fact, the first child she gave birth to was not a son, which made Miao Kexiu a little disappointed. But when she saw that Chu Huan loved Chu Shiqin unusually, the disappointment in her heart disappeared.
"How's it going with Yun Shang? If you two come over today, Yun Shang won't have any objections?"
Miao Kexiu asked Wu Shuhan softly.
Cao Yunshang was pregnant again, which was just confirmed more than ten days ago, so Miao Kexiu only asked this question at this time.
Wu Shuhan smiled and said: "It's okay, Aunt Zhou has moved to No. 12 now. Huange made a special call to Sister Yun Shang before coming!"
Miao Kexiu nodded and smiled at Chu Huan holding Chu Shiqin in a silly manner. After a while, she asked Wu Shuhan.
"I heard from Brother Huan that it must be very hard for you to be busy in your hometown this year, right?"
Wu Shuhan looked at Chu Shiqin in Chu Huan's arms with some envy, and then smiled and said: "Actually, it's not that hard. Someone will do the specific things. I only need to be responsible for the overall planning and prevent corruption.
!”
Miao Kexiu also said with some envy: "You are so good, you can also help Brother Huan take care of business matters, unlike us, we can only stay at home to take care of the children!"
Wu Shuhan said: "I still envy you, Sister Xiu. It's great to have a daughter. This is a little cotton-padded jacket!"
Speaking of this, Wu Shuhan suddenly laughed and said to Miao Kexiu: "Sister Xiu, do you know what Brother Huan said about the difference between daughters and sons?"
Miao Kexiu also asked curiously: "How did you say that?"
Wu Shuhan said: "Brother Huan said at the time that my son is an umbrella. It can't rain every day, but my daughter is different. This is a cotton-padded jacket, and I have to wear it at all times!"
After hearing this, Miao Kexiu also covered her mouth and chuckled, and then lectured to Wu Shuhan.
"Shu Han, although you need to worry more about the company's affairs, you can't finish your work. You should still have a child with Brother Huan as soon as possible!"
Wu Shuhan's face turned slightly red, but she still nodded.
"What are you two talking about? Are you so happy?"
At this time, Chu Huan came to the two of them with Chu Shiqin in his arms and asked curiously.
Chu Huan had been teasing Chu Shiqin just now and didn't notice what the two of them said.
Miao Kexiu took Chu Shiqin from Chu Huan's hand and said with a smile: "We didn't talk about anything, we just talked about some women's things!"
Chu Huan nodded without caring and said with a smile: "I think you should not come back to film again, otherwise you will definitely miss Qinqin's growth in the future!"
Regarding Chu Huan's decision, Miao Kexiu did not refuse. In fact, she had already planned to retire from the film industry. As the first generation female artist in black and white video.
Miao Kexiu had already received all the honors she could get at this time, including her own salary over the years, plus the money given by Chu Huan, and the money Fengwu Securities helped invest.
It can be said that Miao Kexiu herself is a completely rich woman. Even if there is no support from Chu Huan in the future, her life will not be bad.
Moreover, in recent years, most of the movies Miao Kexiu has made have been action movies. Even with the care of the studio, she has suffered some injuries. Now Xiying can take care of her children at home, which is quite relaxed.
"Well, I listen to you, Brother Huan!"
Wu Shuhan laughed and said: "If this is the case, the fans in Xiangjiang will be disappointed and will never see your performance again, Sister Xiu!"
Chu Huan asked: "Would you like Fang Jianhui to help you with a shadow dying ceremony?"
Nowadays, Miao Kexiu can be regarded as the number one female artist in Hong Kong. It is not an exaggeration to hold a retirement ceremony now that she is going to retire.
Miao Kexiu shook his head and said: "Forget it, it's quite troublesome. And if one day my acting addiction relapses and I want to make a movie, the fans will say that I don't keep my word!"
After hearing this, Chu Huan nodded and said nothing more!
Thank you everyone, typos will be corrected first and then~
