816, Chu Huan who transcended the boundaries of businessman
London, 10 Downing Street!
Mrs. Thatcher is feeling a little excited now, because tomorrow she will fly to the capital to discuss the Hong Kong issue.
"The victory of the Falklands War marks that our British Empire is invincible. I believe that this trip to the capital will also have a favorable situation for us!"
At this time, Mrs. Thatcher was discussing the visit to China with Joe Cole and others.
The victory in the Falklands War made Mrs Thatcher's self-confidence extremely high at this time.
Joe Cole sat on the sofa with his legs crossed and said seriously to Thatcher: "Madam, this will be a difficult negotiation. China is not Argentina, and the person you are facing is not an ordinary person.
I hope you won’t underestimate the enemy at all!”
Mrs. Thatcher waved her hand and said with a smile: "Qiao, I understand your worries, but don't worry, the basis of negotiation is strength, and we in Britain have strong strength."
When a few people discussed the matter of visiting China, it was natural that they could not just talk empty words. Soon they turned the topic to the current situation in Hong Kong.
"Originally, I wanted Youde to control the economy of Hong Kong during this period, so that we could use the better economic development of Hong Kong under British control as a bargaining chip during the negotiation process, but I didn't expect that Youde
Such a failure is so different compared to MacLehose!"
Mrs. Thatcher already knew the latest situation in Xiangjiang, and she felt very dissatisfied with the situation in Xiangjiang at this time.
Qiao Cole said: "Now that the Jiani incident has broken out in Xiangjiang, it has even affected HSBC. This situation can no longer be solved in a short time. I think we need to think about this problem in a different direction!
"
Mrs. Thatcher looked at Joe Cole curiously and asked: "Qiao, have you thought of any good idea?"
"In my opinion, we can only follow the trend now. The current situation in Xiangjiang was not caused by us. Madam, you should understand, right?" Qiao Keer asked.
"I understand!" Mrs. Thatcher simply thought about it and understood what Joe Cole meant. It was nothing more than manipulating the media's public opinion. They were very good at such behavior.
However, if you want to create such a direction of public opinion, you need a primer, but what is this primer?
Mrs. Thatcher began to think seriously about this matter. This introduction must be shocking enough and have practical effects!
Soon, Mrs. Thatcher thought of a countermeasure.
"If this is the case, then regarding the re-domiciliation of HSBC, does the re-domiciliation of HSBC also need to be postponed?"
Ferdinand obviously also thought of a countermeasure!
"Shen Bi is currently negotiating the final signing with Midland Bank. Can we ask them to postpone it for a while and see the results of our discussions with China?"
Qiao Cole nodded and said: "I think we can postpone the decision on whether to relocate HSBC until after we have concluded our negotiations with China. If our negotiations can go smoothly, I think it will actually be beneficial to us for HSBC to stay in Hong Kong."
More!"
Thatcher said: "Although I don't think there will be any problems in the negotiations with China, this matter can indeed be left at that time for HSBC to decide whether to relocate."
Seeing that Mrs. Thatcher had agreed, Ferdinand said: "If this is the case, then I will inform the Midland Bank now and ask them to suspend negotiations with HSBC!"
In any case, HSBC is an independent listed company. Although they can use administrative power to order HSBC, once this kind of opening is opened, the entire British company will put some pressure on them, so their best way
It is better to use the acquisition of Midland Bank as a bargaining chip to let HSBC realize its own interests.
"It's a pity that we can't order Chu Huan. If we can order Chu Huan, our negotiation will have a greater chance of winning this time!"
Ferdinand preached with some regret.
Mrs. Thatcher and Joe Cole looked at each other, and they naturally understood this truth.
It can be said that whether Xiangjiang can be stable now depends more on Chu Huan's decision.
"Don't think about this matter. Although Chu Huan has a lot of investments in England, he also has a lot of investments in China, especially in rare earths, which is even more surprising!
Nowadays, the industries under Chu Huan's Jiaku are no longer just ordinary product businesses. As you know, his investments in China are at a strategic level, and there are also investments in Brazil and Argentina.
The same is true for investment. You can no longer treat him like an ordinary businessman. It is no exaggeration to say that Chu Huan's influence today is definitely among the top in the world!"
Although Chu Huan's investment in the domestic rare earth industry has not spread in Xiangjiang, it has spread among some high-level people, and the British side naturally also knows about it.
Joe Cole added: "That's not all. Last year, Chu Huan took advantage of the carelessness of the four major grain merchants and quickly entered the agricultural markets of Brazil and Argentina. He purchased farms on a large scale and built grain storage warehouses. It only took one year.
Over time, a preliminary food supply chain has been established.
I heard that the four major grain merchants have repeatedly approached the Brazilian and Argentine governments to seek sanctions against Jiaku, but they have never received a response. In addition, representatives of the four major grain merchants have also expressed their opinions on this matter in the North American Congress.
We made a proposal in the hope that the North American government could impose some sanctions on Chu Huan’s Jiaku, but the majority of the members rejected this proposal!”
Ferdinand showed a surprised expression. He was the one who had the shortest contact time with Chu Huan among the three, and he also knew the least about some of Chu Huan's business arrangements.
Now hearing Thatcher and Joe Cole's analysis of Jiaku, he was speechless.
"If you add in the iron ore resources of Chu Huan in Australia and Brazil, as well as the steel plants established in Australia, the Huaguo Steel Plant invested in, and the second largest steel plant in Brazil in which it has a stake, Jiaku will be the same as Mitsui & Co.
It will have a huge impact on the global steel industry chain.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Rare earth, grain, and steel have mastered these three industrial chains. Chu Huan's Jiaku is already invincible, but he is not."
At the end of his sentence, Ferdinand suddenly stopped talking.
In fact, both Mrs. Thatcher and Joe Cole knew what Ferdinand wanted to say.
Even if Chu Huan does not make political investments in various countries, according to Jiaku's current global influence, no country can deal with it if it wants to!
In fact, even the three of them don't know how many countries Chu Huan is in and how much political investment he has, but Mrs. Thatcher knows one thing, that is, whenever European countries meet, if everyone mentions Jiaku
Whenever he is with Chu Huan, he will show that his relationship with Chu Huan is very good.
It can be said that Chu Huan at this time has already surpassed the top ceiling that a businessman can achieve!
Even among some small but absolutely influential groups, some people already regard the Chu family as the super family in the world that can truly influence the world!
In this situation, although many people want to regard the Chu family as an imaginary enemy, when there is no real competition for interests, no one is willing to set up such an enemy for themselves!
Not to mention that there are many people who already have a community of interests relationship with Chu Huan!
.
Hong Kong!
It's a complete mess here now.
The run-on trend in the banking industry has not yet ended, but the Carining incident broke out again. Although Carining has published newspapers to denounce such claims as nonsense, the numbers published in major newspapers are so detailed, and they are about Jianing.
Every major acquisition by Ning was reported in a clear and logical manner, which made Jianing’s condemnation seem so weak!
Now for Xiangjiang, it can be said that it has suffered three major blows.
First, the banking industry in Hong Kong is now suffering from the craziest run event since the opening of Hong Kong. Although there were bank runs in Hong Kong in the 1960s, HSBC and some powerful banks soon
Foreign banks have stepped forward to support these banks by investing in them or acquiring them.
But now, since the withdrawal incident broke out, although there have been various rumors in the market.
The Hong Kong government wants to take over Hang Lung Bank and Overseas Trust Bank, but there are only rumors and no actual actions.
There are also rumors that HSBC will help these small and medium-sized banks, and foreign banks will also take advantage of this opportunity to either invest in or acquire these banks.
But these are just rumors without any actual actions.
An economist said on TV that the main reason for the current situation is that the future prospects of Xiangjiang are very unclear. This has caused many foreign banks to wait and see, hoping to see if the future of Xiangjiang is completely solved.
Only then will you choose whether to take action!
As for HSBC
This involves the second problem Xiangjiang is facing at this time!
Jianing incident!
Although it is still impossible to truly prove whether this incident is true or false, newspapers all over Hong Kong are reporting on this incident. In fact, it is no longer important whether the ending is true or false.
Carin, a super consortium with a market value of over 10 billion Hong Kong dollars, and its three listed companies are now star stocks on the Hong Kong stock market.
With the outbreak of the Carin incident, it dealt a severe blow to the already shaky Hong Kong stock market. Prior to this, the Hong Kong Hang Seng Index had reached more than 1,800 points at its peak, but now the Hang Seng Index has already fallen below 1,000 points.
Click the mark.
The drop exceeded 800 points.
This has directly led to the stock prices of all listed companies in Hong Kong falling like a flood.
Some financial magazines have compared the current situation this year to the 1973 stock market crash in Hong Kong, and even commented that this year's situation has exceeded the 1973 stock market crash.
The most intuitive manifestation is that just this afternoon, a stock broker jumped out of the building where his company is located.
Whenever a stock market crash starts, someone will definitely jump off a building. This is an unchanging law.
After the incident, Zhulu Real Estate, Hehe International-Wheelock and Land announced at the same time that they would temporarily close the doors to the rooftops of their commercial buildings.
But such a statement made more people feel that the stock market crash was really coming.
Nowadays, no matter which securities firm it is, all we hear is about selling stocks, but now there is no one to take the orders.
“Stocks are worse than toilet paper!”
This is the most popular sentence in the major securities firms in Hong Kong in the past two days.
The Jianing incident not only triggered the collapse of the Xiangjiang stock market, but also caused the land price in Xiangjiang to halve.
In Hong Kong, the stock market and real estate have always been complementary brothers. When the market is good, we all make a lot of money together. When the market is bad, we jump off the building together!
Now that property prices in Xiangjiang have plummeted, people who have bought properties at high prices in the past two years naturally cannot accept the current situation. It is better to buy a place to live in. If it is not to live in but to speculate on properties, these people are naturally
I can't accept this anymore.
After all, it is their own wealth that is losing money, and it is impossible for these people to accept such a situation.
If you cannot accept this situation, then you must make some noise!
The police force in Xiangjiang has reached its highest intensity since the port was opened.
The police canceled everyone's vacation and took to the streets to maintain order.
What really panics the citizens of Xiangjiang is that just today, some bad and good news about HSBC began to appear on the market.
Naturally, this was also caused by the Carining incident. There was no way, who made HSBC the biggest creditor of Carining!
If Jianing really collapses, then HSBC's 5 billion loan in Jianing will become non-performing assets. Although HSBC has a great business and is backed by the Hong Kong government, the citizens of Hong Kong have already become frightened.
I can't stand any stimulation anymore.
Fortunately, HSBC's public relations department was very effective and immediately issued a statement stating that HSBC had the healthiest financial situation and the strongest cash reserves in Hong Kong. This slightly dispelled some citizens' suspicion of HSBC.
The last one is the future of Xiangjiang!
This is an extremely sensitive issue in itself, and now it has reached its most critical moment. This has caused many people who have become accustomed to the current life in Xiangjiang to feel hesitant about their future prospects.
The hesitant psychology combined with the current situation in Xiangjiang produced a crazy chemical reaction!
If it weren't for inertia at this time, Xiangjiang would have already been in chaos.
.
Chinese go!
Listening to Xu Yi's description of Xiangjiang's current situation, Chu Huan nodded slightly, but did not express an opinion, but asked: "Has our fund mobilization been completed?"
Xu Yi nodded and said: "The transfer has been completed, and it is now stored in the accounts of Jiaku Bank, Alde Commercial Bank Xiangjiang Branch, and Standard Chartered Bank."
Jiaku's funds are spread all over the world. Although Chu Huan secretly promoted the current situation in Xiangjiang, for Chu Huan, the situation at this time is just following the trend.
Because even without the existence of Chu Huan, in the past two years, bank runs would have broken out in Xiangjiang, the stock market collapsed, Jianing went bankrupt and other events.
Of course, Chu Huan didn't really want Xiangjiang to be in such chaos. What Chu Huan was doing was just to break and then build. Only after experiencing this incident could Jiaku's status in Xiangjiang be guaranteed.
But to solve the current situation, cash is the only solution, and what Chu Huan has to do is actually transfer part of the funds from Jiaku to Xiangjiang during this period, and what Chu Huan is waiting for now is the last one.
Something happened.
That was Mrs. Thatcher's wrestling. Although Chu Huan at this time was not sure whether Mrs. Thatcher would wrestle like she did in another time and space, but no matter what, the negotiation in Beijing was over, and it was actually Xiangjiang's.
When these problems finally erupted.
Only by taking action at that time can we truly solve all the problems in Xiangjiang at once.
"Boss, Roy Bentley of HSBC, Guo Desheng of Sun Hung Kai, Zheng Yutong of New World, Li Jiacheng of Cheung Kong, Lao Kadoorie of the Grand Hotel Group, and the heads of other major companies in Hong Kong have all called and asked about you
Do you have time to meet with them? Some even said they would come over soon."
At this time, the situation in Xiangjiang has made many people unable to sit still.
Anyone with a discerning eye can see that if things are allowed to continue, Xiangjiang's economy will definitely collapse, and their business, which relies on development in Xiangjiang, will naturally be doomed.
This is why there are no complete eggs in a nest!
At this time, in their hearts, the only person left who could save the current situation was Chu Huan.
"Now because of our plan to cause trouble to Jiaku and some actions by the British, some people who don't know the truth have begun to come to China. I hope that we, Jiaku, can come forward to solve this problem!"
This was Chu Huan's strategy to bring trouble to Jiaku, because only in this way could Jiaku's action be less abrupt.
"Finally, the Hong Kong government also called. Youde asked the boss if you have time now. He wanted to come to Jiaku in person!"
Before that, Youde had not received a call from London, so he very much hoped to solve the current trouble. At this time, Youde could no longer care about his identity as the governor of Hong Kong, and wanted to come to the Chinese Bank to find Chu in person.
Happy to discuss countermeasures!
After hearing this, Chu Huan waved his hands and said: "Reject all calls to visit, including those from the Hong Kong Governor's Office. If they ask why, just say that we, Jiaku, are also looking for solutions to the current problems in Hong Kong."
Tomorrow is the 22nd, which is also the time for Thatcher to negotiate with her hometown. This is what Chu Huan is waiting for now.
After this matter is over, it's time for Chu Huan to take action, so Chu Huan doesn't want to see anyone at this time!
Xu Yi nodded and said: "I understand, but there is one person. I think it would be better for you, boss, to meet him in person!"
Chu Huan asked: "Who is it? So important?"
Xu Yidao: "Wang Chuanqiu of Xiangjiang Huayin!"
This person, Chu Huan, really needs to meet. I think he must be a little weak now. After all, the situation in Xiangjiang is too serious at this time. He should also be worried about what to do if it is irreversible?
"Let him go to 12 Mount Galley Road. It's not appropriate to meet here!"
Xu Yi also understood Chu Huan's worries and said: "It just so happens that you are leaving the company at this time, boss. Even if those people want to come here to find you, they won't be able to find you!"
Chu Huan smiled. If his eyebrows were really burned, even if they couldn't find them here, they would go find him at home.
However, if you are high enough to come to Chu Huan in person, it is not really urgent at this time.
After the stock market crash, it seemed to these people that the stock prices of each company had halved, but in fact the real asset value did not lose much. If it weren't for the prospect of Hong Kong that made these people feel uncertain, some people would have already started to buy at low prices at this time.
Some quality assets!
.
Wang Chuanqiu met Chu Huan in the living room of No. 12 Mount Galley Road.
"Director Chu, what's the current situation in Xiangjiang?"
After meeting Chu Huan, Wang Chuanqiu did not beat around the bush, but directly asked Chu Huan about the current situation in Xiangjiang.
Previously, Wang Chuanqiu approached Chu Huan, worried that after his hometown announced a decision on the future of Xiangjiang, it would trigger a collapse of Xiangjiang's economy.
Well, now, this decision has not been announced yet. Xiangjiang's economy is already on the verge of collapse. It is conceivable that if the hometown side announces it, it will definitely be the last move to push Xiangjiang's economy into the abyss!
Chu Huan looked at Wang Chuanqi's anxious look, poured him a cup of tea himself, and then said with a smile: "Director Wang, there is nothing to worry about. Jiaku's headquarters is in Xiangjiang. For Jiaku, the economic stability of Xiangjiang is more important than
Everything, because only when the economy of Xiangjiang is stable can the development of Jiaku have better confidence."
Wang Chuanqi was stunned for a moment. Seeing the current situation, Chu Huan could still say these words so calmly. It wasn't that he didn't want to believe Chu Huan, but the current situation in Xiangjiang was really too dangerous!
"Director Chu, to tell you the truth, my hometown already knows about the economic environment in Xiangjiang, and the old man also asked about this matter in person. Let me ask you, do you know anything about what may happen next?"
Chu Huan asked: "Shall I call the old man now?"
Wang Chuanqiang nodded immediately. This matter was beyond his ability. Wang Chuanqiang also understood that at this time, he was just a messenger.
"It's best if Director Chu can make this call, but..."
Chu Huan understood Wang Chuanqi's worries and said with a smile: "Don't worry, Mr. Wang, no one from here is here to monitor us!"
Things have developed to this point. Although Chu Huan is sure of the safety situation on his side, Wang Chuanqi will definitely be worried, so Chu Huan told him this now to reassure him!
This is what Wang Chuanqi is worried about.
Now that he heard what Chu Huan said, Wang Chuanqiang was no longer so worried.
Then Chu Huan dialed the number in Beijing. After Wang Chuanqiu saw this situation, he temporarily left Chu Huan's office. He did not return to Chu Huan's study until he heard Chu Huan calling him loudly inside.
.
"Director Wang, I have something to tell you!" Chu Huan handed the phone in his hand to Wang Chuanqi.
After Wang Chuanqians answered the phone, his expression became serious.
.
"Have you heard back from Ah Huan?"
At the Sun Hung Kai headquarters, Guo Desheng asked Guo Bingxiang anxiously.
Guo Bingxiang smiled bitterly and shook his head: "No, it's always the people from Jiaku's office who answered the phone. They said they didn't know where Chu Huan was. They just said that Chu Huan was thinking about the current situation and didn't want outsiders to disturb him!"
After listening to the sermon, Guo Desheng said helplessly: "What time has it been? Don't Ah Huan know the situation outside now? Someone is already inciting those who are unaware and directing their anger towards Jia Ku.
If it is not stopped, as long as there is some disturbance in Xiangjiang, everyone will flock to Jiaku!"
What Guo Desheng is worried about is not the current situation in Hong Kong. This is also somewhat similar to the development direction of Sun Hung Kai Properties. They are more like a property intermediary, building and selling houses. When it is expensive, they make more, and when it is cheap, they make less.
Financial health, coupled with sufficient cash reserves.
They will not lose much in this storm. What really worries Guo Desheng is the current environment in Xiangjiang.
Regarding the rumors outside, Guo Desheng naturally heard about it, so he was worried that the flames of this incident would eventually burn Jiaku.
It is no exaggeration to say that if the data that measures the economic development environment of Xiangjiang is the Hang Seng Index, then the barometer of whether it can underpin Xiangjiang's economy is the barometer of Jia Ku.
When the Hang Seng Index collapsed, we can still regard it as the law of market development and economics. It is normal for there to be declines and rises.
Moreover, the Hang Seng Index has collapsed now, but it will still rise back in the future. This is the same as the Hong Kong stock market crash in 1973. At that time, the Hang Seng Index collapsed, and in the following years, didn’t the Hang Seng Index rise again?
During this period, although some new companies may be created and some companies may have problems, in terms of the general trend of Hong Kong, this is acceptable!
But if Jiaku collapses, it means that Xiangjiang's economy is completely finished, and it will directly enter the reconstruction process after the ruins.
Then at that time, the number of bankrupt companies in Xiangjiang will be several times that of the stock market crash!
Guo Bingxiang said: "Daddy, I think A Huan will definitely have countermeasures. If the crisis in Jiaku really comes, I think A Huan will definitely call us, so I think this
It shouldn’t be too much of a problem once, right?”
Guo Desheng glared at Guo Bingxiang and said: "What do you know? According to the current situation in Hong Kong, if you want to revive the economy of Hong Kong, you will need at least 20 to 30 billion U.S. dollars of investment. You think Ah Huan's first treasury is the Federal Reserve
Well, you said you would spend so much money, just come out with this much money?"
Guo Bingxiang asked tentatively: "Then I'll go to No. 12 Mount Caleb Road. Ah Huan should be there at this time, right?"
Guo Desheng thought for a moment, shook his head and said: "Forget it, A Huan must also have a very headache at this time, let's not disturb him. You can call Xu Yi and tell Xu Yi if there is any action on A Huan's side
, if he needs our support, ask him to call us immediately!”
Guo Bingxiang nodded and said: "I understand!"
.
"Dad, our company's stock price has dropped by 70%, and all major banks have called us, asking us to repay their loans immediately!"
The Eagle Group is already in chaos. There is no way they can make them the second largest group that cooperates with Jia Ning!
With the bankruptcy of Yida Group, now it’s their turn!
