There are four important stock indexes in the world stock market. Through these four stock indexes, the ups and downs of the world stock market can be seen at a glance.
They are the Dow Jones Industrial Index in New York, the Financial Times Index in London, the Nikkei Index in Tokyo, and the Hang Seng Index in Hong Kong.
The Hong Kong Hang Seng Index was actually invented by He Shanheng.
In fact, it is not an exaggeration to call He Shanheng the most outstanding Chinese banker in Hong Kong this century.
There are also many people in Hong Kong and Macao who have received help from He Shanheng.
As mentioned before, there are only two ways for Xiangjiang Real Estate Company to raise funds for its own development. The first is to go public to raise funds, and the second is to obtain support from banks!
The fundamental reason why Zheng Yutong's New World has been able to develop smoothly after its listing is actually because of the strong support it received from Hang Seng Bank, chaired by He Shanheng.
Otherwise, He Shanheng would not be the chairman of the New World Board of Directors.
In addition, He Hongshen's development is actually inseparable from He Shanheng's support. In the early years, He Hongshen was driven back from Haojiang in despair. In the early stages of Xiangjiang's development, He Shanheng contributed a lot to its development!
So today at the resignation ceremony of He Shanheng, He Hongshen also came to the scene.
Naturally, He Shanheng was the protagonist of this party. Even when Chu Huan came, she immediately presented her gift to He Shanheng and affirmed He Shanheng's achievements in the new world.
Obviously, He Shanheng was very happy about Chu Huan's arrival. After all, Chu Huan has basically not appeared on such occasions in recent years.
"I am extremely honored that Director Chu can come today!"
He Shanheng laughed and preached to Chu Huan.
Chu Huan smiled and said: "Weng He is too polite. As the Taishan Beidou of the Xiangjiang business community, as a junior, you are naturally here today."
He Shanheng's cheeks were a little rosy and he laughed and said: "Don't dare to take it. Chairman Chu has created a miracle in the business history of Hong Kong in these years. Today's Xiangjiang is dominated by young people like Mr. Chu and you, and we can't do it anymore!"
As he spoke, He Shanheng took Li Guowei and Chu Huan beside him and said with a smile: "Director Chu, although I have resigned as the chairman of New World, I am still the chairman of the board of directors of Hang Seng. I hope that in the future our Hang Seng can cooperate with Director Chu's Jiaku
More cooperation is the key!”
In fact, next year, He Shanheng will resign as chairman of the board of directors of Hang Seng Bank, and the person next to him will be Li Guowei!
In fact, Li Guowei was already 64 years old at this time, and later generations' evaluation of Li Guowei was not as good as that of He Shanheng.
At that time, Hang Seng Bank encountered a run on banks, and He Shanhang had no way to seek help. In the end, he had no choice but to seek help from HSBC.
Although HSBC agreed to help Hang Seng get out of the predicament, this was conditional, and the condition was naturally that HSBC would take a stake in Hang Seng.
At that time, there were rumors that He Shanheng wanted to sell 35% of Hang Seng Bank's shares and get help from HSBC. However, when Li Guowei was negotiating with HSBC, he chose to sell 51% of Hang Seng Bank's shares.
But later Li Guowei replied calmly: "This is not my opinion. Such an important matter is decided by the board of directors, but I am indeed the only person sent by Hang Seng to negotiate with Sandus. Remember
At that time, HSBC sent people to study our accounts, and in just over 10 hours, including negotiation time, they completed a huge transaction in banking history."
I am afraid that only He Shanheng, Li Guowei and others know the real situation, but judging from the importance Li Guowei later received in Hang Seng Bank, and the fact that He Shanheng is now willing to hand over the future development of Hang Seng Bank to Li Guowei
In his hands, it can be seen that Li Guowei's rhetoric is more credible.
In addition, this Li Guowei is not an unknown person. He is a descendant of the Li family in the first generation of the four major families in Xiangjiang, and is the cousin of Li Xishen.
"Director Chu, please take good care of me in the future!"
Although Li Guowei was old enough to be Chu Huan's grandfather, Li Guowei still looked very humble in front of Chu Huan.
Although there are widespread rumors about Jiaku's cash flow problems, such rumors have little effect on Hang Seng.
Only one thing, the scale of Jiaku Bank under Jiaku has surpassed Hang Seng at this time and has become the No. 1 Chinese-owned bank in Hong Kong. This alone cannot make Li Guowei despise Chu Huan.
Not to mention contempt, this is an existence that needs to be looked up to!
You really need to take more care of them. If He Shanheng and Li Guowei knew that Chu Huan's goal this time was to acquire Hang Seng Bank, I'm afraid their mood would be more complicated at this time!
This is actually the reason why Chu Huan came to this banquet this time. Chu Huan wanted to take this opportunity to have a good understanding of the internal situation of Hang Seng Bank.
After everyone chatted for a few words, Chu Huan left. Although the protagonist tonight was He Shanheng, Chu Huan's arrival still attracted everyone's attention.
Even though there are now rumors about Jiaku's cash flow problems, Chu Huan is still the number one person in Xiangjiang at this time, so everyone at the scene gathered around Chu Huan after greeting He Shanheng.
Chu Huan could only smile and chat with these people.
After a while, He Hongshen and Zheng Yutong came to Chu Huan's side. Those who had greeted Chu Huan before also left.
Both of them had smiles on their faces at this time.
Chu Huan could understand the mood of the two of them, because after Chu Huan rejected Ye Han, Ye Han had no choice but to sell his shares of Macao Entertainment to Zheng Yutong for HK$300 million!
It can be said that this transaction made Zheng Yutong a winner!
And He Hongshen and Zheng Yutong are old friends. Now that Zheng Yutong has obtained the shares of Macao Entertainment, it can be said that from now on, He Hongshen will have no stumbling blocks in Macao Entertainment!
"The expressions on your faces right now will make me feel regretful!" Chu Huan said with a smile on his face after seeing the two of them.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Zheng Yutong smiled and said: "Ah Huan, please stop joking. If you had not refused Ye Han's sale this time, I would not have been able to get the Australian loan this time."
Entertainment shares!”
He Hongshen said somewhat hypocritically: "Actually, if Director Chu can become a shareholder of our Macao Entertainment, we Macao Entertainment would still very much welcome it!"
Chu Huan just smiled and said: "We in Jiaku really don't have any ideas about the gambling industry, but you two, the gambling industry is a mixed bag, and it is not that easy to make money stably in this industry."
He Hongshen and Zheng Yutong nodded with deep understanding. Zheng Yutong even sighed: "Yes, if it weren't for your reminder of that investment in Iran, Hongshen and I would have lost it."
Trouble!"
He Hongshen glanced at Zheng Yutong at this time. After receiving He Hongshen's eyes, Zheng Yutong hesitated a little.
When Chu Huan saw the actions of the two of them, he knew that they must have other things going on, but Chu Huan had no intention of guessing what they were going to do, let alone asking questions. After all, it was their own business.
"If you two have nothing to do, I still have a few friends over there, so I'll take my leave now!"
Chu Huan said with a smile.
"Wait a minute, wait a minute!" Zheng Yutong finally stopped Chu Huan and said with a smile: "Ah Huan, don't be anxious. In fact, we come to you this time because there is one more thing we want to discuss with you!
"
Chu Huanxiao asked: "I wonder what you two think?"
Zheng Yutong said: "We know that Ah Huan, you have a very good relationship with Bob Hawke, the Australian shadow cabinet member. Hongshen and I have an idea to build a casino in Australia, so we want to ask Ah Huan to help you discuss the matter!"
Bob Hawke, currently Australia's Shadow Cabinet Minister for Employment and Industrial Relations, will become Australia's Prime Minister next year.
Gambling is not prohibited in Australia. Although it is larger than Monte Carlo in Monaco, Atlantic City and Las Vegas in North America, gambling is everywhere.
In Chu Huan's impression, it was not until 1989 that He Hongshen and Zheng Yutong wanted to operate the gambling industry in Australia.
At that time, Sydney, Australia announced that the casino business would be launched for bidding by foreign consortiums. At that time, He Hongshen and Zheng Yutong flew to Sydney to participate in the bidding on behalf of Macao Entertainment.
The Sydney government was not satisfied with the bids submitted by each consortium, so it announced a second bid.
At the end of the year, Macao Entertainment once again participated in the second bidding.
The Sydney government announced that the winning consortium was only responsible for management, not the construction site.
The construction of venues can expand the scale of the casino. This government policy is obviously unfavorable to the winning consortium and lacks sufficient attraction for the investment consortium.
It is said that it was opposed and coldly received by foreign consortiums at that time, and as a result, the plan was stillborn.
The Sydney government has not announced when it will re-tender.
After losing the bid, Zheng Yutong and He Hongshen did not lose confidence in Australia. They found that Australia's gambling industry has great prospects, and it is adjacent to Southeast Asia. Most of the high-rollers who come here are from Southeast Asia, and they often bet more than 100,000 US dollars.
Although the spinach industry in Haojiang is developed, it is a small place and far less fun than Australia.
After Zheng Yutong and He Hongshen temporarily returned to Xiangjiang to rest and recuperate, they returned to Australia and separately looked for opportunities to start a gambling industry.
At that time, Ho Hong-shen took a fancy to the Buswood Casino in Perth and proposed an acquisition.
Bushwood Casino was originally run by a Malaysian gambling businessman. Later, a Japanese businessman took a stake and gradually expanded its shareholding. When Ho Hongshen took a fancy, the Japanese gambling businessman and the local government each held half of the shares.
He Hongshen heard that due to the economic downturn in Japan, the Japanese consortium was preparing to reduce the scale of overseas investment, so it might be interested in selling.
So, He Hongshen visited the market six times. He Hongshen found out that the Japanese gambler, who was familiar with the gambling king's name, was asking for an exorbitant price. He Hongshen left Perth in anger.
On the other side, Zheng Yutong traveled to Queensland to participate in the bidding for the local gambling industry in Kaienkan.
Because he did not fully understand the local gambling regulations and his bid was low, Zheng Yutong lost his reputation and was defeated by other consortiums. He returned disappointed.
This is how the two of them will invest in the gambling industry in Australia in the future. To put it simply, they can only hear the thunder but not the raindrops!
But what Chu Huan didn't expect was that the two of them were now eyeing Australia.
What Chu Huan didn't know was that this actually had something to do with him. When Chu Huan took Zheng Yutong and others to Australia to inspect their iron mines, the then Australian Prime Minister John Fraser and shadow cabinet member Bob Hawke personally
After receiving a group of them, and at the banquet, Zheng Yutong also discovered that Chu Huan had a very close relationship with them.
This gave Zheng Yutong the idea to enter Australia in advance.
Facing the hopeful looks in their eyes, Chu Huan smiled and said: "Logically speaking, my relationship with you two should help with this matter, but my relationship with Bob Hawke is not as close as you two think."
, I’m afraid there’s no way I can help you two with this matter!”
Chu Huan didn't want to get involved in the gambling industry in Haojiang, let alone talking about it in Australia. You must know that his relationship with Bob Hawke was bought with real money. Use it less and less once, Chu Huan
It is impossible to defend the two of them on such a matter!
Although Chu Huan had clearly rejected both of them, He Hongshen did not want to give up and hurriedly said: "Director Chu, if you can help with the matter, Brother Zheng and I are willing to give up 10% of the shares of the new casino to Director Chu.
You don’t need any funds from Director Chu!”
After hearing this, Chu Huan just smiled, nodded with the two of them and left.
Seeing Chu Huan's leaving figure, Zheng Yutong gave a wry smile and said: "It seems that Ah Huan really doesn't want to get involved in the spinach industry. The two of us can only figure this out!"
He Hongshen looked at Chu Huan's back and said nothing.
For Chu Huan, such an occasion actually has no meaning. If it were not for taking a look at the situation of Hang Seng Bank at this time, Chu Huan would not have come. Now that the basic situation is known, Chu Huan
Also ready to leave.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! But just when Chu Huan was about to leave, a girl's voice came from behind Chu Huan.
"Chairman, are you ready to leave?"
Chu Huan turned around in confusion and saw a twenty-year-old girl wearing a white bare-shouldered dress.
The girl has short hair, bright eyes and white teeth, and a good figure that looks well-proportioned under the dress. She is a well-deserved highlight in this banquet.
After meeting the other party, Chu Huan also smiled and said: "Ordinary TVB female artists cannot come to such an occasion!"
The girl is a female artist contracted by TVB, but this is not important. In fact, let alone an ordinary female TVB artist, even a popular female star of TVB is not qualified to come to this occasion. Except Zhao Yazhi!
But the girl in front of Chu Huan is not an ordinary TVB female artist, because she also has another identity, He Chaoqiong, the eldest daughter of the second wife of He Hongshen.
In later generations, He Chaoqiong was a well-deserved strong woman in Hong Kong and Macao, but now she is not so famous. Although He Chaoqiong was still in college at this time, she did not stay in school, but came to Hong Kong and joined the
TVB, became a contracted artist of TVB.
He Chaoqiong also met Zhang Guoyi, Chen Baiqiang and others at this time.
It's just that He Chaoqiong was obviously not as successful as an artist as he was as a businessman. After filming several unknown TV series in later generations, he left the entertainment industry, but he maintained his relationship with Leslie Cheung, Chen Boqiang and others.
There were even rumors of an affair between her and Chen Boqiang.
In fact, Chen Baiqiang's family can be regarded as a wealthy family in Hong Kong, but compared with a family like He Hongshen, it is still very crowded. In addition, Chen Baiqiang was born from the second marriage and is not eligible to receive the family inheritance, so He Hongshen is even more
I don’t like Chen Baiqiang anymore.
I don’t know what the relationship between the two is like now.
Chu Huan only knew about the rumored relationship between He Chaoqiong and Chen Baiqiang, but Chu Huan did not know the specific situation.
"I am just a minor player at TVB. Otherwise, Chairman, please say hello to TVB's Manager Liang and make a drama for me?"
He Chaoqiong said with a charming smile.
Chu Huan nodded indifferently and said: "I have no objection. The TV series starring the gambling king's daughter is released, and it is still a topic!"
Hearing what Chu Huan said, He Chaoqiong showed a helpless expression: "Not many people in Taiwan know that I am my father's daughter!"
Chu Huan chuckled and said, "How could you not know?"
He Chaoqiong's little cherry mouth opened slightly, and his eyes flashed with a surprised expression: "How could they know, and I didn't tell anyone else?"
Chu Huan smiled brightly and said: "You really think your father is a nobody. Xiangjiang is so big, and tidbits about your family will appear in newspapers from time to time. Regarding your family's situation, the tabloid reporters probably know better than you. TVB
How could the big dye vat not know about it?"
Hearing what Chu Huan said, He Chaoqiong showed a dejected expression and said, "It's boring. I thought no one else knew about it. It turns out that everyone was just joking with me!"
Chu Huan chuckled. Although He Chaoqiong was very beautiful, Chu Huan didn't want to cause this trouble now. There were thousands of beautiful girls in this era, so there was no need to provoke He Chaoqiong. After all, standing behind He Chaoqiong was He Hongshen, the Haojiang gambler.
king.
Although Chu Huan is not afraid of He Hongshen, he hates trouble. If he has any involvement with He Chaoqiong, he will definitely get involved in the troubles of the He family.
"Let's go now, bye!"
Chu Huan bowed to He Chaoqiong and came to He Shanheng again. After chatting with him for a few words, he left here with the respect of others in the banquet hall.
But when Chu Huan was about to get in the car, he suddenly saw He Chaoqiong running toward her with her skirt in hand.
"Why did you come out?"
Chu Huan stood at the door of the back seat of the car, looking at He Chaoqiong who looked like a runaway bride and asked.
He Chaoqiong said with a proud smile: "It's not interesting anyway. When I saw you, Chairman, come out, I followed you out!"
Chu Huan chuckled lightly and did not reject He Chaoqiong too bluntly. He said: "Then get in the car and take you out of here!"
"Thank you, Chairman!" He Chaoqiong happily got into Chu Huan's car.
"Where are you going?" After getting into the car, Chu Huan smelled the fragrance of He Chaoqiong. This fragrance was different from the perfume Chu Huan smelled, and was more like a natural body fragrance.
He Chaoqiong sat in Chu Huan's car and said unceremoniously: "Causeway Bay!"
Chu Huan didn't pay attention and signaled Han Yang to drive to Causeway Bay.
What Chu Huan didn't expect was that He Chaoqiong randomly found a boutique in Causeway Bay and hurried in. After a while, He Chaoqiong changed into a double-breasted round-neck suit with a mat underneath.
She wrapped her breasts in black and then lay down in front of Chu Huan's car window, smiling and preaching.
"Chairman, you don't think I have room to put money in that part of my body just now, do you?"
Chu Huan smiled bitterly and asked Han Yang to pay the bill for He Chaoqiong.
"This is the first time I've seen someone so arrogant among employees!" Chu Huan said to He Chaoqiong who had just gotten on the bus.
He Chaoqiong said proudly: "Don't be so stingy? In the worst case, I'll treat you to a midnight snack!"
Chu Huan couldn't help laughing and said: "Is it possible that you changed your clothes and you have money?"
He Chaoqiong said: "Don't worry, I won't let you spend money this time."
After saying that, He Chaoqiong reported an address to Han Yang without anyone noticing. Han Yang glanced at Chu Huan in the rearview mirror, and seeing that Chu Huan had no objection, he drove to the place He Chaoqiong mentioned.
The place He Chaoqiong was talking about was a seafood food stall. When the car stopped here, He Chaoqiong dragged Chu Huan out of the car, then pointed in one direction and said proudly: "Did you see that the treater is here?
Over there!”
Chu Huan followed the direction of He Chaoqiong's finger and saw a semi-acquaintance.
The reason why it is called one and a half is because Chu Huan knows one of the two people sitting there and knows the other!
I know Zhang Guoyi, and I know Chen Baiqiang.
The entertainment industry in Xiangjiang always seems to like to give people in the entertainment industry a name.
Leslie Cheung and Chen Pak Keung were no exception. Together with Paul Chung, the three of them were known as the Third Prince of Central when they first debuted.
But the fate of the three of them was not very good.
Paul Chung, the youngest, was the first to pass away. At the age of 30, he jumped from his apartment in City One, Sha Tin.
Then there was Chen Baiqiang, the second oldest, who overdosed on sleeping pills while drinking and died of gradual brain failure after being hospitalized for 17 months.
Then there is Zhang Guoyi
Chu Huan had met Zhang Guoyuan before in Zhang Guoyuan's father's dress shop. Later, the meetings became less frequent. Chu Huan had not met Chen Baiqiang yet.
Leslie Cheung and Chen Boqiang have known each other since 1978, and they even co-starred in the movie "Unemployed" last year.
Now it can be said that the relationship between the two is at its best. Two years later, the two fell out. As for the reason for the falling out, more people still attributed the incident to Chen Baiqiang's sensitive personality.
In fact, during the period when the two of them just debuted, Chen Baiqiang's popularity was higher than that of Zhang Guoyi. This can also be seen from the movies the two collaborated on. The two collaborated on two movies, and in these two movies
Among them, Zhang Guoyi is the second male lead, while Chen Baiqiang is the first male lead.
Some media even called Zhang Guoyi Chen Baiqiang's follower.
But later, with the popularity of Leslie Cheung's album "Monica", Leslie Cheung's popularity came from behind, and Tan Yonglin formed a situation where Tan and Zhang competed for supremacy, but Chen Baiqiang could not be more successful, so the news that the two were at odds spread.
As for whether this matter is true or false, only the person involved knows.
Seeing He Chaoqiong coming over, Chen Baiqiang stood up immediately. However, when he saw He Chaoqiong dragging Chu Huan over, his expression instantly became a little ugly, and then he stood up and sat down again.
When Zhang Guoyuan saw Chu Huan, he showed a puzzled expression.
"Director Chu, why are you here?"
Chu Huan smiled and said: "I met Pansy at the banquet, so I followed her here!"
Chen Baiqiang on the side suddenly said: "Dr. Chu, can you get used to the simple meals here?"
As soon as these words came out, Zhang Guoyi and He Chaoqiong's expressions suddenly changed. It was obvious that neither of them expected that Chen Baiqiang would say such words.
Zhang Guoyi hurriedly tried to smooth things over and said with a smile: "Don't get me wrong, Mr. Chu. What Danny means is that the food here is not to your taste. If I had known that Mr. Chu would come over, we should have found a better place!"
Chu Huan chuckled. Although he could see that Chen Baiqiang said this because he misunderstood the relationship between himself and He Chaoqiong, Chu Huan was not his parent, let alone his fan, but
I don't have any problem with him.
He smiled and chatted with Zhang Guoyi before sitting down.
He Chaoqiong was also worried that Chu Huan would be dissatisfied with Chen Boqiang's words just now. He sat next to Chu Huan and whispered: "Brother Huan, I'm sorry, Danny has been quite anxious recently about his new song. You
Don’t take what he just said to heart!”
Chen Boqiang, who was sitting on the other side of He Chaoqiong, saw He Chaoqiong sitting down and did not speak to him first. Instead, he chatted in a low voice with Chu Huan. Although he was explaining to himself, Chen Boqiang still felt very uncomfortable inside.
In fact, at this time, Chen Baiqiang and He Chaoqiong did not have a confirmed relationship, but it was already a certainty that Chen Baiqiang had a crush on He Chaoqiong.
So even though I knew I shouldn't say anything else at this time, I couldn't help but snorted coldly.
Chu Huan frowned slightly when he heard this cold snort. Although Chen Baiqiang felt that he was several levels behind at this time and there was no need to compete with him, Chu Huan was still very dissatisfied with the other party's successive behaviors.
"Forget it, since Pansy you are here, I will leave first!"
Chu Huan no longer had the idea of sitting here.
He Chaoqiong and Zhang Guoyuan naturally knew that Chu Huan was angry at this time. Zhang Guoyuan even gently pulled Chen Baiqiang's clothes under the table, signaling him to quickly apologize to Chu Huan.
But Chen Baiqiang seemed to not feel it at all, sitting there in a daze and saying nothing.
When He Chaoqiong saw Chu Huan getting up and really wanted to leave, he also got up quickly and said, "Brother Huan, what happened tonight is mine."
The most embarrassing person at this time is actually not Chen Baiqiang, but He Chaoqiong. After all, she was the one who brought Chu Huan. As a result, when people came, Chen Baiqiang was here to show off his face.
"Okay, it's nothing, I'm leaving first!"
After saying that, Chu Huan left directly.
Seeing Chu Huan leave, He Chaoqiong said to Chen Baiqiang dissatisfied: "Danny, what on earth are you doing? Don't you know how much I put into inviting Brother Huan here?
If you make him leave angrily now, is it because you don't want to be in the entertainment industry?"
Chen Boqiang said sullenly: "If you don't mix, you won't mix. What's the big deal!"
"You" He Chaoqiong was speechless. This was the first time she felt that Chen Baiqiang was a bit naive. Could it really be the end of offending Chu Huan just by not being involved in the entertainment industry?
Thank you everyone, typos will be corrected first and then~
