Chapter 272 Chu Huan’s fate is too good (7K chapter, please subscribe~)

  One step to heaven, one step to hell!

  Although Zhang Mingyi will not go to hell, he has lost a chance to make himself rich!

  Just after Zhang Mingyi completed the contract with Cao Yunshang, he returned to Overseas Trust.

"The turmoil outside has nothing to do with me. Although Chu Huan didn't plan to become Hang Lung Real Estate this time, his ability and influence are still there, especially in transforming Jiahu Textile into a clothing business. Cooperating with Jiahu Textile is not bad for overseas trusts!"

   Sitting in his office chair, Zhang Mingyi thought so.

  But at this moment, Zhang Mingyi's secretary rushed in with a flustered expression, which made it obvious at a glance that something serious had happened!

  Actually, this is not only Zhang Mingyi's side, but also other places at this time.

   For example, Standard Chartered Bank!

   Located in the Taipan Office of Standard Chartered Bank, Chartered Building, Des Voeux Road, Central!

  Different from HSBC’s public listed company, Standard Chartered Bank is still under the control of the Sanderson family at this time. At the same time, Standard Chartered Bank is a listed company in England, not a listed company in Hong Kong.

  The people in charge of the Asia Department of Standard Chartered Bank are basically the children of the Sanderson family, which is similar to that of British foreign firms such as Jardine Matheson.

  Now the Taipan at the headquarters of Standard Chartered Bank of Hong Kong is also a direct descendant of the Sanderson family.

Sanderson is receiving Chen Zengxi, and he values ​​Sanderson with Hang Lung Real Estate very much. Although the Hong Kong real estate market is not good now, anyone with a discerning eye can see that with the sunset of the manufacturing industry, the pillar industry of Hong Kong in the future will definitely be real estate industry.

   Although Standard Chartered does not think that Hang Lung can catch up with HSBC, but with the cooperation of Hang Lung Properties, Standard Chartered Bank can form partnerships with more Hong Kong real estate developers.

   This is just the beginning!

   "Chen, don't worry, with our Standard Chartered Bank's endorsement for you, the stock price of Hang Lung Properties will definitely skyrocket!"

  Sanderson, in his 30s, is at the age of pioneering and enterprising. At this time, as the president of the Asia Department of Standard Chartered Bank, he is naturally full of domineering!

  Chen Zengxi smiled and complimented: "Of course I know this, and Hang Lung Properties is also very happy to be able to cooperate with Standard Chartered Bank!"

   "That's right!" Sanderson laughed.

  Chen Zengxi said: "Mr. Sanderson, can we sign the contract now?"

   Eloquence is not proof, pen is proof!

  Chen Zengxi still wants to finalize the cooperation with Standard Chartered Bank as soon as possible, so that he can announce publicly in his exclusive interview on TVB tonight!

  Sanderson smiled indifferently: "Don't worry, the terms of the contract must be compared one by one slowly to be foolproof!"

   It's not that Sanderson is dragging Chen Zengxi on purpose, but that when Chen Zengxi contacted Sanderson, Sanderson didn't think that Chen Zengxi would choose to abandon the overseas trust so quickly.

  However, this also gave Sanderson a reminder. When Chen Zengxi is cooperating with overseas trusts, he can contact Standard Chartered Bank. If he is cooperating with himself, how about contacting HSBC?

   Then, when Hang Lung Properties abandons Standard Chartered Bank, will it be as happy as when it abandoned overseas trusts before?

  So in these cooperation agreements, Sanderson must let his lawyer team think of all these things.

   "Chen, you don't have to worry, I guarantee that our cooperation will definitely be signed today, and it will not delay your announcement on TV at night!"

  Sanderson knew about Chen Zengxi's announcement of their cooperation on TVB tonight.

   Hearing Sanderson's assurance, Chen Zengxi breathed a sigh of relief.

   "Then trouble Mr. Sanderson."

  Chen Zengxi first expressed his thanks, and then continued to ask: "Then about my credit line at Standard Chartered Bank?"

  Now that the cooperation with Standard Chartered Bank has become a foregone conclusion, Chen Zengxi is most concerned about his credit line with Standard Chartered Bank.

  Because as long as he has this money, he no longer has to worry about Chu Huan's sniping or hostile takeover of him!

   Sanderson said with a smile: "Don't worry, as soon as the contract between us is signed, this line of credit can be provided to you immediately."

   "And we are already in a cooperative relationship, so I personally assure you that as long as someone really makes a move on the shares of Hang Lung Properties today, even if the contract is not formed, our Standard Chartered Bank will grant you a credit line!"

  Hearing this, Chen Zengxi was completely no longer nervous.

   As a result, at this moment, Sanderson's secretary rushed in.

  Sanderson looked at the other party very dissatisfied, and said: "What happened, flustered?"

  The secretary didn't care about Sanderson's attitude, and said excitedly: "Electricity, TV!"

  Seeing the situation of his secretary, Sanderson's face changed slightly, and he understood that the other party would not be like this if it hadn't been for something serious. Instead of holding the secretary accountable, he signaled the other party to turn on the TV.

   Chen Zengxi looked at the other person's expression, and his heart began to beat violently for no reason, because the current situation seemed familiar.

   It's just that at that time, my secretary delivered a newspaper, but now Sanderson's secretary is talking about TV!

  What is the news on TV?

   Sanderson's secretary didn't even think about what Chen Zengxi was thinking, but immediately turned on the TV.

   Then everyone in the office saw the news on TV.

   As I said before, October 16, 1973 was just an ordinary day for many people.

   But actually today is not an ordinary day, because today, ZD's Xth war broke out!

  Watching the TV news, the reporter repeatedly said this matter, and the air pressure in the office dropped to the extreme in an instant!

  Chen Zengxi was the first to react, "Mr. Sanderson, I hope to speed up the cooperation between you and me. In addition, I need your bank's credit line to me now!"

  The outbreak of this war was so sudden that everyone suddenly understood that although this was a war away from Xiangjiang, it would still bring a major blow to Xiangjiang's stock market.

  Because everyone understands that this war will bring unprecedented changes to the international oil market.

  Before, some people have been talking about the oil crisis, the oil crisis, but in fact, no one thinks that this thing is likely to happen, because in many people's opinion, with the support of North America, the other party dare not really do it.

   But now all that illusion is shattered!

  The war actually happened like this!

  And the oil crisis they are talking about will definitely happen, which will lead to a new reshuffle in the global economic market and energy market!

   And such an impact is bound to backfire on Xiangjiang's stock market.

   That is to say, not only will Xiangjiang not get out of the impact of the stock market crash, but it will even aggravate and prolong the stock market crash because of this incident!

And Hang Lung Properties has just announced today that it has terminated its cooperation with Overseas Trust. It also invested a huge amount of money to acquire Landmark’s Golden Gate Building. It will become the death scythe that pushes Hang Lung Properties into the abyss!

   Chen Zengxi understands this, and Sanderson naturally understands this too.

  So when he faced Chen Zengxi who was already in a mess, he had already made his own decision.

   "Chen, what cooperation? What credit line? Why can't I understand what you're talking about?"

  In the past, Standard Chartered chose to cooperate with Hang Lung because it valued Hang Lung’s courage in acquiring the Golden Gate Building this time. If there is no accident, Hang Lung Properties will become the first real estate company in Xiangjiang to emerge from the stock market crash.

   But everything changed at this time, because of an accident, Hang Lung Properties will not only not become the first real estate company to get out of the stock market crash, it is very likely to become the first real estate company in Xiangjiang to fall into bankruptcy crisis due to the stock market crash!

   Now that you know this is a pit!

   Then Standard Chartered Bank naturally has no reason to jump into this pit.

  So Sanderson refused very simply, which made Chen Zengxi wonder whether the chatter and laughter between himself and Sanderson before were all fake!

   "No, Mr. Sanderson, you can't do this. Hang Lung Properties is still a very high-quality real estate company. We also have many rent-collecting properties and properties to be developed!"

  Sanderson shook his head and said, "Chen, you should consider how to pay for the project!"

  At this time, Hang Lung Properties is like a domino that is about to collapse. Without the support of Standard Chartered Bank, Hang Lung Properties may not even be able to pay for the construction of the building currently under construction.

   And all of this, before this, did not exist!

   "Mr. Sanderson, I, I, I beg you, please help Hang Lung Real Estate, I can't lose him!"

  Chen Zengxi has no face at this time, he needs the support of Standard Chartered Bank.

  Sanderson shook his head and said: "Chen, you should leave, we at Standard Chartered Bank have a lot of things to do now!"

  The outbreak of this war will also change many of the previous deployments of Standard Chartered Bank.

  After speaking, Sanderson immediately signaled his secretary to send Chen Zengxi out of his office.

  At this time, Chen Zengxi is a plague god, whoever touches it will die!

   On the other side, Chen Qizong of Hang Lung Center also saw the news on TV at this time, and stood there blankly, feeling cold all over, not knowing what to say.

Immediately, Chen Qizong frantically ran to the phone. At this time, he could only look for his father. He hoped that his father had already signed the contract with Standard Chartered Bank, because only in this way, there would be no problems with Hang Lung, not only would there be no problems It is even possible to seek better development in such an opportunity.

   But all of this must be based on the fact that his father has signed a cooperation contract with Standard Chartered Bank.

   But when he got on the phone and learned that his father had left Standard Chartered Bank in disappointment, Chen Zengxi squatted on the ground dejectedly.

   "It's over, it's over!"

   After an unknown amount of time, Chen Zengxi came back.

   Chen Qizong, who was still squatting on the ground, saw Chen Zengxi coming back, and immediately stepped forward, "Daddy, what should we do now?"

  Chen Zengxi no longer panicked, "Why panic, the sky hasn't fallen yet!"

   Seeing his father so calm, Chen Qizong was like the last straw grabbed by a drowning man, "Daddy, have you figured out a way?"

  Chen Zengxi said coldly: "Without the help of the bank, I, Chen Zengxi, still have friends. From now on, you have to keep an eye on the stock market for me all the time. As long as there is no movement in the stock market, we, Hang Lung Properties, can't do it!"

  Chen Qizong hurriedly pulled himself together and said, "I understand!"

  Then Chen Qizong suddenly thought of Chu Huan, and couldn't help asking: "Daddy, do you think Chu Huan has already guessed this matter?"

   "Do you think he is a god?" Chen Zengxi said angrily: "No one will know about this kind of thing except that **** madman!"

  Chen Qizong suddenly realized that it was also said on TV before that this war broke out suddenly, and it can be said that there was no warning before.

  So it is impossible for Chu Huan to know in advance.

   Did Chu Huan really not know in advance?

   Not only Chen Qizong had such doubts, but Zhang Mingyi, who was sitting in the Overseas Trust Building at this time, also had such thoughts.

  At this time, accompanied by his secretary, he was also staring blankly at the news on TV. At this time, he no longer knew what words to use to describe his mood.

  After a long time, Zhang Mingyi suddenly burst into laughter.

"Yeah!"

Zhang Mingyi has reason to be happy, because he also knows that the outbreak of this news will directly push Hang Lung Real Estate into the abyss, and their overseas trust, because Hang Lung Real Estate unilaterally announced today that they have terminated their cooperation, which makes them overseas Trust escaped unharmed and was not implicated by Hang Lung!

  The feeling of narrow escape, how could Zhang Mingyi not be happy!

  But after laughing out loud, Zhang Mingyi picked up the teacup next to him with an angry face, and threw it down **** the ground.

   "Damn, damn!"

  Zhang Mingyi has reason to be angry, and is still very angry, because with this news, Hang Lung's stock price is bound to fall to the bottom again, not only the bottom, but also a **** abyss!

  Then Chu Huan's desire to acquire Hang Lung Real Estate will be put on the table again, but he has already sold the shares of Hang Lung Real Estate to Cao Yunshang!

   Such things made Zhang Mingyi furious!

  After getting angry, Zhang Mingyi immediately preached to the secretary again.

   "Immediately, contact Hang Lung Real Estate immediately and tell them that they must ask the other party to repay our loan within five days, otherwise our overseas trust will apply for enforcement!"

   "In addition, an announcement was made at the same time, saying that our overseas trust has signed a contract with Jiahu Textile and has become a formal strategic partnership!"

Even though the hatred for Chu Huan in his heart was overwhelming at this time, Zhang Mingyi also understood that although Hang Lung Real Estate had unilaterally announced the termination of the cooperative relationship with him before, it is undeniable that they did lend to Chu Huan before. Hang Lung Properties.

  If Hang Lung Real Estate goes bankrupt, then their loan will inevitably become a bad debt. If this is the case, it is likely to cause panic among depositors.

  So at this time, Zhang Mingyi must rely on Jiahu Textile to appease the depositors of overseas trusts!

   "Also, and, I don't care where that **** Zhang Chengzhong is, let him fly back to Xiangjiang immediately."

  Facing Zhang Mingyi's series of orders, the secretary didn't dare to ask any questions, so he immediately turned around and went to do it!

  After the secretary left, Zhang Mingyi sat there blankly.

   "So, did Chu Huan know about this in advance?"

  Zhang Mingyi once again asked this question that hit his soul directly.

  But then Zhang Mingyi denied this possibility.

   "No, it is impossible for Chu Huan to know this kind of thing in advance. So, Chu Huan is simply lucky? Even God is helping him?"

   There is no way to doubt that Zhang Mingyi came up with such a metaphysical answer. It is really such a thing, and it is impossible for Chu Huan, who is far away in Xiangjiang, to know in advance.

  So the conclusion that can only be drawn is that Chu Huan is too **** lucky.

   He is the chosen one, isn't he! ?

   Whether he is the chosen one, Chu Huan himself does not know, because at this time Tai Tai is still on the plane, enjoying the service of a flight attendant.

   At this time, there is so much disturbance on the ground that there is no way to disturb him!

  Fengwu Securities!

  Liu Zhiyuan and Chen Tao found Cao Yunshang, and they were looking at Cao Yunshang nervously, hoping to get the information they wanted from Cao Yunshang.

  In fact, it wasn't just Zhang Mingyi who was secretly buying shares in Hang Lung Properties. Chu Huan also did this when he learned of the existence of the "Avengers" alliance.

   And the specific operation is actually Liu Zhiyuan and Chen Tao.

   It's just that this process is very long and not very fast, so up to now Chu Huan has only used retail investors to acquire 2.6% of the shares of Hang Lung Properties!

   Now that this situation occurs, the stock price of Hang Lung Properties will fall directly to the bottom. Both Liu Zhiyuan and Chen Tao hope that Chu Huan can make a move at this time.

  Hang Lung Real Estate is different from Jiahu Textile. At the peak of Jiahu Textile, the market value was only about one billion Hong Kong dollars. But if Chu Huan can get Hang Lung Real Estate again, it will be really different.

   This will be recorded in the commercial history of Xiangjiang again, and it is worthy of being highlighted!

  Liu Zhiyuan and Chen Tao want to be written into this history as specific participants!

  But Cao Yunshang's answer was destined to disappoint them.

   "Don't do anything for now, let's talk about everything after Brother Huan shows up!"

  After receiving Cao Yunshang's answer, Liu Zhiyuan couldn't wait to say: "Boss, now is the best time to acquire Hang Lung Real Estate!"

  Even Chen Tao couldn't help but said: "That's right, if Chen Zengxi uses this time to raise more funds, then our previous efforts will be wasted!"

  Cao Yunshang couldn't help but smile bitterly.

  Actually, she also wanted to do it at this time, but she couldn't.

  Because she and Chu Huan no longer have that much cash in their hands.

Previously, Chu Huan had already used the mental damage fees given by the three major newspapers to buy shares in Sun Hung Kai, New World, and Hopewell Properties, but now the purchase of shares in Hang Lung Properties is still the 10 million spare funds that Chu Huan left behind. !

  As for the 30 million cash used for the acquisition of Hang Lung Real Estate from Overseas Trust today, it was Chu Huan who mobilized the funds from "Fantasy Comics".

  Although several companies still have a lot of liquidity at this time, since Chu Huan can think of letting Hang Lung Real Estate use up all his liquidity in advance in this blow, then Chu Huan will not make such a mistake.

  So Chu Huan really doesn't have much cash in his hands now.

  But Cao Yunshang immediately said: "Don't worry, Brother Huan's life is very good, so I believe Brother Huan will succeed this time, just wait for Brother Huan to appear!"

  At this time, it is definitely impossible for Cao Yunshang to tell about Chu Huan's going to New York.

   But at this time, Cao Yunshang, like Chen Zengxi and Zhang Mingyi, thought that Chu Huan was really lucky!

  Cao Yunshang knew better than Zhang Mingyi and Chen Zengxi. He knew that Chu Huan had started to deploy oil spot products early on, and he also knew that Chu Huan had analyzed that there must be a battle between OPEC and the seven major oil companies.

   It is understandable for Cao Yunshang, because as long as you put your energy on it, it is possible to analyze such a result.

   But what really made Cao Yunshang think that Chu Huan's fate was good was the time when the news happened.

  Like everyone else, Cao Yunshang firmly refused to think that Chu Huan could know about this news in advance, so now this news suddenly broke out at this point in time.

   Then the only possibility is only one point.

   That's Chu Huan's fate!

   Apart from this, there is no other explanation!

   Liu Zhiyuan and Chen Tao had no choice but to leave when they saw this.

  Starting today, everyone is paying attention to the impact of this war on the economy.

   And the impact is really happening.

  The next day, OPEC issued a statement stating that starting today, it would reduce oil production by 5% every month and threatened a complete embargo!

  Another thing that is even more alarming to everyone is that OPEC announced that the price of oil will be directly raised from the original $3.01 per barrel to $10 a barrel!

  As soon as these two news came out, the global energy market and stock market were all affected.

  The most intuitive performance is that the Hong Kong Hang Seng Index, which has been improving, has fallen again, because it is already impossible to fall, so the degree of decline is not very high.

   But it was like the last straw that broke the camel's back, causing the entire Xiangjiang to fall into a huge panic again.

  The stock prices of all companies fell in half again!

   It's just that the current situation is that all are selling orders, and there is no buying order at all.

  The Xiangjiang stock market at this time is like a pool of stagnant water, without the slightest ripple!

  Chen Qizong dragged his tired body and walked towards Chen Zengxi's office. If there is any good news among all the bad news, it is that there is no big transaction in Hang Lung Properties' stocks.

   That is to say, Chu Huan has not made any purchase of Hang Lung Properties so far.

   And even more fortunately, tomorrow is Friday. As long as we survive tomorrow, Xiangjiang's stock market will be closed for two days, and I can take a breather here.

   When he walked into his father's office, he was shocked by the sight in front of him!

  My father, Chen Zengxi, turned his head gray overnight!

   "Daddy!"

  Chen Qizong spoke in a complicated tone.

  Chen Zengxi waved his hand and asked, "How is the stock market going?"

  Chen Qizong said: "Nothing happened, I asked the secretary to keep an eye on it, and let us know immediately if there is any trouble!"

   Chen Zengxi nodded slowly after getting this answer, and he also understood that this is a blessing in misfortune!

   "Daddy, how should we deal with overseas trust loans?"

  The notification letter from Overseas Trust has arrived at Hang Lung Properties.

  As they expected before, the dominoes began to collapse. Not only the overseas trust asked Hang Lung Real Estate to repay the loan in advance, but even the builders were queuing up to ask Chen Zengxi for the project payment at this time!

Chen Zengxi said: "Don't worry about overseas trust loans. Although the stock price of our Hang Lung Properties has dropped again, the value of Hang Lung Center and Baiyu Commercial Center is still there. As long as the land price of Xiangjiang can be maintained, then overseas trust loans will not be worth it. Reasons let us repay in advance, at worst, the two parties will go to court, and this will also buy us a period of time."

  Chen Qizong understands that this is only an expedient measure, because everyone understands that the current bad situation in the stock market is bound to affect the real estate industry.

   That is to say, the value of Hang Lung Center and Baiyu Commercial Center must be greatly reduced!

  But now apart from the method that Chen Zengxi thought of, he really can't think of other methods.

   "What about the project money owed?" But now Hang Lung Center is no longer a problem, except for the project money that Chen Qizong is now asking about.

   There are other loans from Hang Lung Properties!

   Now Chen Qizong doesn't want to provoke Chen Zengxi too much, so he can only ask one by one. What Chen Qizong doesn't know is that in fact, such inquiries are easier to hit a person's heart.

Chen Zengxi said: "Since Chu Huan has not done anything until now, we can relax a little bit, so I have already told your second uncle that the last fund of the family will be used to pay for this project Money, everything will be fine by the end of the year!"

   As I said before, at the end of the year, Hang Lung Real Estate will have two large properties for sale, and by then Hang Lung will be able to withdraw a large amount of money!

  Chen Qizong said worriedly: "But according to the current situation, the housing prices in Xiangjiang will definitely fall to the lowest point by then!"

  Chen Zengxi said helplessly: "Now we can't take care of these things. For us, the most important thing is to return the funds!"

   Chen Qizong stopped talking!

  Looking at his father's tired look, he finally poured him a cup of ginseng tea, and left Chen Zengxi's office helplessly.

   "Yunshang, have you contacted A Huan?"

  Cao Wenjin also urgently found Cao Yunshang at this time.

  Cao Yunshang nodded and said: "We have already contacted, Brother Huan has also promised to leave some oil for Wanbang!"

  The increase in oil prices will most directly affect the shipping industry.

And Cao Wenjin, as one of the four major ship kings in Xiangjiang, will naturally be greatly affected. Before that, he knew that Chu Huan had hoarded a batch of oil. If the batch of low-priced oil is approved, then Wanbang Shipping will not encounter such an oil crisis in a short period of time!

   Hearing what Cao Yunshang said, Cao Wenjin finally breathed a sigh of relief. Of course, Cao Wenjin also knew that it would be impossible to buy it at a price of US$3.01 per barrel!

  So Cao Wenjin also raised the price, but it was less than $10 per barrel!

   Not today, thank you everyone~ The next chapter will be at 12:00 tomorrow morning~
