Chapter 281 Bah, poor ghost (7K chapters, please subscribe~)

   Lin Qingxia has been very busy in Xiangjiang for the past two years, filming one movie after another, which also caused her not to go back to Taiwan for a long time.

  The last time I had dinner with Chu Huan, I said that I wanted to go back to Taiwan to celebrate the New Year with my family this year.

  Lin Qingxia said with a smile: "This movie will be finished in a few days, and I should be able to go back before New Year's Day!"

   Then Lin Qingxia asked Chu Huan curiously: "Brother Huan, how did you remember this?"

  Chu Huan said with a smile: "Because I will go to Taiwan after the next year, but I may not be able to keep up with you when I go."

  Lin Qingxia immediately said happily: "It's okay, we can come back together when we come back!"

  Chu Huan smiled and said, "Okay, I will contact you when I get to Taiwan!"

  After learning about this, Lin Qingxia happily told Zhao Yazhi: "Azhi, why don't you come to Taiwan as well, and then I will take you and Brother Huan to have a good time shopping around Taiwan!"

Zhao Yazhi glanced at Chu Huan secretly, and then said with a smile: "I don't mind, the family will be very busy during the Chinese New Year, and my father's illness just happened not too long, I also want to be at home Stay with him more!"

  Hearing what Zhao Yazhi said, Lin Qingxia said with some regret: "What a pity, it would be great if you could go too!"

  Zhao Yazhi smiled and said: "It's okay, there will definitely be more opportunities in the future!"

  Lin Qingxia didn't think much about it then, she nodded with a smile and said, "Well, there will definitely be many opportunities in the future!"

   After eating and tidying up, Chu Huan got up and said, "Then I'll go back first, and you two should rest early!"

  Lin Qingxia said lazily: "Well, there will be an early show tomorrow, so I really need to rest earlier today!"

  Chu Huan left Lin Qingxia's apartment first.

  Zhao Yazhi also said to Lin Qingxia at this time: "Then I will go back too."

  Lin Qingxia hugged Zhao Yazhi and said, "What are you doing back home? I'm staying here tonight. Didn't you always stay by my side before?"

  Zhao Yazhi pushed Lin Qingxia away, and said with a smile: "Didn't you say that there will be an early show tomorrow, so I won't be here anymore, let's go!"

   After finishing speaking, Zhao Yazhi also left Lin Qingxia's apartment and returned to her own apartment, and then saw Chu Huan sitting there waiting for her.

  Hong Kong government's charity dinner.

  The annual auction income here may not be the highest, but it is definitely the highest standard in the Xiangjiang Charity Dinner.

  Many businessmen or celebrities in Xiangjiang will appear here, just to brush up their sense of existence.

  When Chu Huan and Cao Yunshang appeared here in their costumes, they immediately attracted a lot of attention.

  Although Chu Huan has not been in this circle for a long time, Chu Huan's reputation has surpassed many celebrities of the older generation in Xiangjiang.

   Right now!

   And still has the strength to be popular.

   "How is it, do you have a goal?"

  Jian Yueqiang also attended today's charity dinner. After seeing Chu Huan, he held today's auction list in his hand and talked to Chu Huan with a smile.

  Chu Huan said with a smile: "I have taken a fancy to a license plate, but I just don't know if I can get it!"

  Auctions have always been an excellent opportunity for the rich to compete for wealth. Even in the early Internet articles, auctions were an easy way to create something cool.

  However, Chu Huan actually didn't have any idea in this regard. When he came here today, he found two good items to be photographed for the Hong Kong government, and the matter was settled.

   As for Doufu?

  Chu Huan really had no idea about this, and it was very difficult for such a situation to happen in such a dinner party.

   After all, everyone is a respectable person, and no one is willing to do this kind of behavior that is too low.

As for the license plate in Chu Huanxiang's view, it is not actually the famous single-digit license plate, and the Hong Kong government will officially auction the license plate until 1975. Before that, only sporadic people took out some license plates for auction. Auction in person, or put it up for auction at a charity dinner like this!

  Jian Yueqiang glanced at Cao Yunshang who was beside Chu Huan, and joked with a smile: "You really have a heart!"

  It turns out that the license plate put up for auction today is: V513!

  The meaning of V is needless to say, it means victory (victory). As for 513, it means Cao Yunshang's birthday, which means May 13th!

   This kind of thing basically depends on how the individual interprets it. Chu Huan can interpret it into this meaning, and others can also interpret it into other meanings.

   It's just that since Chu Huan said that he would buy the license plate now, that's what he said.

   Jian Yueqiang also understood what Chu Huan meant.

   "The two of you will be graduating next year, so your marriage should be on the agenda, right?"

Regarding the marriage between Chu Huan and Cao Yunshang, many people are actually paying attention to it. Whether or not to send blessings is two different things. As long as the two are officially married, it means that the two of them have completely formed an alliance of interests. .

  This will make many people think more about things when doing business with them.

   "It should be another two years!" Chu Huan told Jian Yueqiang his plan.

  Jian Yueqiang was stunned for a moment. Now that he is an elder recognized by Chu Huan, he naturally speaks more casually.

   "What? Do you two have anything else to prepare?"

   There must be no problem with the relationship between the two, so in Jian Yueqiang's view, the two must have more plans to postpone their marriage.

  Cao Yunshang said with a smile: "Uncle Jian, you have to ask Brother Huan about this matter. He said he prepared a surprise for me, but he didn't tell me what the surprise was!"

  Jian Yueqiang smiled and said, "Surprise? What kind of surprise will take two years?"

  Chu Huan laughed and said, "Uncle Jian will know when the time comes!"

  Jian Yueqiang smiled and said, "Okay, you young people really have a lot of ideas!"

   "Haha, what are the three talking about, so happy?"

  While Chu Huan and Jian Yueqiang were chatting, Sha Ya, the head of HSBC Bank, and Shen Bi, the general manager, also came to the scene.

   "Mr. Taipan, General Manager Shen Bi!"

  Seeing the two, Chu Huan and the three smiled and greeted the two of them.

  Sha Ya exchanged pleasantries with Jian Yueqiang first, and then said to Chu Huan with a smile: "Mr. Chu, I haven't congratulated you yet. It's amazing to win Hang Lung Real Estate like a snake swallowing a whale!"

  Chu Huan said with a smile: "I have to thank Mr. Taipan for this matter. Without the help of HSBC, I would not have so much money to win Hang Lung Properties."

  At the beginning, Chu Huan got a credit line of 80 million from HSBC, which allowed Chu Huan to earn a lot more during the oil crisis.

  Chu Huan meant this, but Sha Ya had another meaning. He didn't know what Chu Huan did during the oil crisis, so he thought that the funds for Chu Huan's acquisition of Hang Lung should be loans from various banks!

Sure enough, Sha Ya seemed very happy to hear what Chu Huan said, but she still said with restraint: "Mr. Chu must have this ability and courage. There are many people who have been helped by HSBC in Xiangjiang, but they can do it. There are not many Mr. Chu who have achieved such success!"

  Chu Huan understood, and said with a smile: "There is just something I want to discuss with Mr. Daban!"

  Sha Ya smiled more and more happily: "Mr. Chu, just say what you want, as long as we HSBC can provide help, there will be no problem."

Chu Huan said with a smile: "Actually, it's not a big deal. It's like this. Although Hang Lung Properties has been taken down by me, the company's financial situation has not been resolved. Under such circumstances, I think HSBC's professionalism can give We can help!"

   This is the rhythm of handing over Hang Lung's financial transactions to HSBC.

  Sha Ya smiled reservedly: "How embarrassing, Mr. Chu and Mr. Jian have such a good relationship, but now they frequently cooperate with us at HSBC. Mr. Jian should be angry!"

  Jian Yueqiang laughed and said: "Mr. Taiban is joking, our cooperation between Bank of East Asia and A Huan is already good enough, and we are already satisfied with a "Fantasy Comics"!"

  The financial transactions of Chu Huan's "Fantasy Comics" are handed over to the Bank of East Asia. In other words, only Jian Yueqiang knows how much money Chu Huan's "Fantasy Comics" makes.

The most important thing is that the sales of "Fantasy Comics" in Europe and the United States are also sold by the Bank of East Asia. This has opened the foundation for Bank of East Asia to cooperate with European and American banks, and it will also allow Bank of East Asia to better expand its market in Europe and the United States. .

  Sha Ya didn't know this, but when she heard what Jian Yueqiang said, Sha Ya really couldn't help laughing.

The asset value of Hang Lung Properties now exceeds 2.5 billion Hong Kong dollars, especially now that there are already two properties for sale. Although the sales situation is not as high as that of Xiangjiang Properties, the sales situation is still acceptable now. In the range.

   "If this is the case, then we at HSBC will solve this problem for Mr. Chu!" Sha Ya said with a smile.

  In addition to the previous black and white images, two of Chu Huan’s companies that are now in the public eye have established financial systems in HSBC Bank. It can be said that the cooperation between the two parties has reached a new height.

"In the future, I will hand over the cooperation with Mr. Chu to Shen Bi. From now on, if Mr. Chu has any business needs, you can contact Shen Bi directly. We also hope to become the closest partner with Mr. Chu. Just like our HSBC and Pao Yugang back then!"

  At this time, Sha Ya's attitude towards Chu Huan is definitely not good, otherwise she wouldn't have told Chu Huan so openly that they already regarded Chu Huan as the second Bao Yugang!

   "Mr. Bao's power is beyond my reach now, and there are still many things to learn from Mr. Bao!"

  Chu Huan preached humbly.

  Here Chu Huan chatted happily with Jian Yueqiang, Sha Ya, Shen Bi and others.

   But there were also people looking at Chu Huan with angry eyes.

  Michael Keswick!

   On this occasion today, Henry Keswick did not come in person, but asked Michael Keswick to come instead of him. Although Chu Huan won the Hang Lung Real Estate like a snake swallowing a whale, Jardine was not affected by it.

  Anyway, the Golden Gate Building has been sold to Hang Lung Properties, and I have already taken advantage of it.

  As for the conflict between Yihe and Chu Huan, Henry Keswick has given up, at least for now. After all, Chu Huan at this time is no longer something anyone can clean up.

   This is the case in the shopping malls. There is no one-shot chance, which means that the two parties will become a cooperative and competitive relationship.

   Not to mention, as long as the current Chu Huan merges Huhua Real Estate and Hang Lung Real Estate, it will immediately become the largest of the Hong Kong Huazi real estate companies.

  Jardines and Landmark are the largest of the British-funded real estate companies, and the two parties will definitely have a lot of cooperation and competition in the next long time.

  So Michael Keswick's impression score in front of Henry Keswick is still very good.

  Henry Keswick can see through these things, but it doesn't mean that Michael Keswick can see.

  Think about how good the alliance of Luo Wei, Huang Yulang, Zhang Chengzhong, and Chen Qizong was at the beginning. They ate hot pot and sang songs, calculated Chu Huan, and planned for the future.

  Suddenly he was robbed by Chu Huan.

  Luo Wei was blocked, Huang Yulang became a waste, Zhang Chengzhong became a second-five son, and Chen Qizong didn't know where to lick his wounds now.

   He was left alone.

  Lonely, lonely, I have to go to a nightclub at night!

  In any case, Michael Keswick always considers himself the boss of the "Avengers".

  Now his little brother has been taken care of by Chu Huan, and he has become a bare-bones commander. It would be strange if he could have a good impression of Chu Chuan!

  As time passed, everyone took their seats.

  In this kind of auction, the number of seats is also very particular. Do you think that the so-called battle for the C position in the entertainment industry in later generations was created by the internal entertainment itself?

   Not at all. In fact, as early as this period, the matter of ranking seats has been going on for many years.

Sitting with the governor of Hong Kong, MacLehose, are naturally the top figures in Hong Kong, Sha Ya from HSBC, Michael Keswick, the representative of Jardine, Taipan from Swire, Taipan from Wheelock, and important officials from the Hong Kong government , and Jian Yueqiang from the Bank of East Asia, and Zhou Xinian and others who stepped down from the position of chairman of the milk company.

  As for Bao Yugang and others, they did not come because of various things.

  Chu Huan was assigned to the second seat, and the one sitting next to Chu Huan happened to be Shen Bi.

  Shen Bi has always been vigilant towards Chu Huan. Even though the cooperation between Chu Huan and HSBC has deepened again, Shen Bi has not lowered his vigilance, on the contrary, it has become more intense.

Shen Bi did not deny at all that with the help of HSBC, Chu Huan's career development in the future will definitely be smoother, but the more this is the case, the higher the capital in Chu Huan's hands, which is a big deal for HSBC. Is it really just a good thing?

  Will Chu Huan become the second Bao Yugang, or will he be more powerful than Bao Yugang?

  Shen Bi is wary of Chu Huan, and Chu Huan is also very wary of Shen Bi. This person's later resume is really too successful.

   But if he proceeds according to his plan, sooner or later he will meet HSBC, and at that time his opponent will be Shen Bi.

   It is not so easy to defeat this person.

"I heard that Mr. Chu established a Jiaku consulting company a few days ago, but he has not announced the business items of the Jiaku consulting company. I am really curious in my heart. I wonder if Mr. Chu is convenient for me to explain my doubts? "

Chu Huan said with a smile: "President Shen Bi is too polite. I have nothing to be curious about. In fact, it is a consulting company. You also know that although my current development looks good, in fact, it has always been obviously insufficient in terms of manpower. Establishing such a company is actually just cultivating more talents for the company!"

   This is something that Jiaku Consulting Company will announce to the public, so there is nothing to tell Shen Bi now.

Shen Bi laughed and said: "It really is like this. I remember that there was such a place in the Tang Dynasty in Huaguo, which was specially used to store the materials of imperial examination scholars. Mr. Chu named it Jiaku. It seems that this The company will become Mr. Chu's talent pool in the future!"

  Chu Huan praised: "President Shen Bi is really knowledgeable, he even knows this kind of thing!"

  Shen Bi said modestly: "It's just a few more books!"

   While the two were chatting, the auction tonight also officially started.

  The items on the auction are basically the items brought out by the people who came to participate in the auction, and it is nothing more than a process of giving face to each other.

  As for the things that the Governor of Hong Kong MacLehose took out, they will naturally be put at the end, and the license plate in Chu Huanxiang's favor is the first lot in this auction!

  As the host introduced the license plate on stage, the auction officially started.

  The starting price is HK$100,000!

  Chu Huan did not hesitate to raise a placard of 110,000!

   During the period, several people also wanted this license plate, but after holding up the sign a few times, seeing Chu Huan's firm attitude, they knew that Chu Huan really wanted this license plate.

  So most of them gave up, so when Chu Huan called 250,000, the host looked at the situation and the countdown had already begun.

   "260,000!"

   No unexpected accident happened.

   Someone raised a card at table 1!

  Everyone saw that it was Michael Keswick, the representative of Jardine.

   Without the big banner of Jardine behind him, Michael Keswick would not even be eligible to enter the dinner tonight, but now with Jardine, everything will be different.

  Chu Huan didn't think too much about it, and raised his placard for 270,000 again!

   But Michael Keswick seemed to be fighting Chu Huan. As soon as Chu Huan finished speaking, Michael Keswick raised his card again!

  After several rounds, everyone also discovered the clues. Michael Keswick was deliberately finding fault.

  People who have nothing to do with themselves show gossip expressions one after another. Jardine is well-deserved as the number one British consortium in Hong Kong. Although Chu Huan has not become the first person in the Hong Kong Chinese consortium, he is also the number one among the younger generation of Xiangjiang.

   Xiangjiang’s old-school forces face up to new tycoons, British capital versus Chinese capital, so much to watch!

  Chu Huan naturally noticed this, but the expression on his face remained the same. Although this kind of behavior of fighting for wealth at the auction was a bit low, it didn't mean that he had to give up what he liked to the other party.

   Soon the price reached 500,000, which has far exceeded the value of this license plate.

   But this price did not deter Michael Keswick, the other party directly bid a price of 510,000!

  Chu Huan looked at Michael Keswick for the first time. After his eyes flashed, he held up the sign.

"1000000!"

As soon as the price came out, many people in the venue immediately sighed. If it is those top single-digit license plates, or Geely license plates with very obvious features, this price is naturally nothing, and it is definitely not worth it. .

   It's just that the current license plate is really not worth the price.

  Michael Keswick showed a smug smile and stopped raising the placard.

  He didn't really want this license plate, he just wanted to make Chu Huan bleed, to show that he could handle Chu Huan!

   This competition did not steal the limelight from the following auctions, because Chu Huan successively took pictures of a string of necklaces that Cao Yunshang put up for auction, as well as the auctioned items of MacLehose at the finale.

  During the two auctions, Michael Keswick still obstructed them, and Chu Huan bought them all at a higher price.

  Chu Huan spent four million Hong Kong dollars in the entire auction!

   It can be said to be bleeding heavily.

  After the reception was over, the reception continued. MacLehose walked over with a smile on his face, and preached to Chu Huan with a smile.

   "Mr. Chu, I am on behalf of those in need, thank you for your generosity!"

  Chu Huan originally saved it for the auction as a character design, but it cost more than two million yuan more than planned.

  But for this little cash, Chu Huan naturally wouldn't take it to heart.

   "Mr. Governor is too polite. To be honest, if it weren't for this auction, I still wouldn't be able to get Mr. Governor's gun!"

  The auction item that MacLehose took out was the gun he used to wear when he participated in the war.

  McLehose laughed and said, "Mr. Chu also likes to shoot?"

  Chu Huan nodded and said, "I like it very much!"

   There is no boy who doesn't like shooting guns.

  Even in Chu Huan's position, it was the same.

   There was no chance in the past, but now if there is time, Chu Huan doesn't mind getting a member of the gun club Dangdang.

  MacLehose said happily: "It just so happens that I am on a farm in Scotland and I can hunt. If Mr. Chu is interested, you can come and try it when you have time!"

  This is already a private invitation, Chu Huan said with a smile: "I can't wait to be told by Mr. Hong Kong Governor!"

Jian Yueqiang smiled and said: "Just right, after the new year, Mr. MacLehose will return to Scotland for vacation. At that time, I will also go to England for a meeting. If you like, A Huan, we can go together, and then we can also be in MacLehose Hunt on the sir's farm!"

   MacLehose glanced at Jian Yue and said with a strong smile: "This is the best!"

  Chu Huan laughed and said, "Then I'd rather be respectful than obey my orders!"

  McLehose will definitely stay in Xiangjiang until after the establishment of the ICAC, which does not conflict with his time to go to Taiwan, and Chu Huan does not mind continuing and strengthening the relationship with MacLehose.

  MacLehose and Chu Huan did not communicate much, and left after chatting for a few words.

  Michael Keswick, the shit-stirring stick, came to Chu Huan's side with a proud face.

  In the auction just now, although he didn't win against Chu Huan, his original intention was like this. He just wanted to see Chu Huan spend more money, and his goal was achieved. Naturally, he wanted to come to Chu Huan's side to be proud.

   "Mr. Chu is really rich and powerful, and he doesn't change his face when he spends four million Hong Kong dollars!"

  Seeing Michael Keswick approaching Chu Huan, many people looked to this side one after another, wanting to see how Chu Huan responded to Michael Keswick's provocation.

  Cao Yunshang took Chu Huan's arm even more.

  Chu Huan patted the back of Cao Yunshang's hand, and looked at Michael Keswick with the attitude of a winner.

   "It's only four million. If this amount of money changes people's expressions, it would be really shameful!"

   Then Chu Huan looked at Michael Keswick and asked curiously: "You probably can't afford the money, so you won't compete with me in the future, right?"

  Michael Keswick's face changed, and Chu Huan became a bit murderous. Jardine is indeed the largest consortium in Xiangjiang besides HSBC, but that is Jardine itself, not Michael Keswick.

  4 million, he can get it out personally, but it will be very painful!

  The point is, is this what I mean by standing here? I want to tell you, Chu Huan, that these things are worth less than 4 million at all!

   "Hehe, it's only 4 million. Of course I can get it out. It's just the value of these lots. Mr. Chu doesn't know about it!?"

  Chu Huan looked indifferent: "Don't you know that charity is priceless? Using money to measure charity, it seems that Mr. Keswick's life realm is not very high!"

  Uh, I got **** off again!

  Michael Keswick didn't understand, why didn't Chu Huan understand what he meant, you spent more than a million yuan on something, and you spent four **** million to buy it, shouldn't you feel uncomfortable?

   And I asked you to spend more!

"Ah, I understand." Chu Huan showed a stunned expression, "For some people, although four million can be taken out, they will definitely feel distressed. This is like a child taking his pocket money to a convenience store. When buying things, you always have to calculate how much money you have in your hands, so that you don’t find it reasonable to find that you don’t have enough money after you get what you want.”

   "Mr. Keswick, the reason why you care so much about the four million yuan should mean that your funds are limited and you have to consider the relationship between gains and losses."

  Chu Huan's words made Michael Keswick's face turn green.

  The truth is always heartbreaking!

At this time, Chu Huan continued to make up the knife: "At first, I thought that Mr. Henry Keswick asked you to come to today's charity dinner because you are capable, but I didn't expect that you have been entangled in millions of money." Your behavior is really not worthy of Yihe's reputation!"

   "I" Michael Keswick stuttered in anger!

   Then Cao Yunshang said in a casual manner: "Brother Huan, you can't say that. Jardine and Michael are two different things. He just represents Jardine today, but it doesn't mean that he can also represent Jardine in the future!"

Chu Huan nodded and said, "I see. Jardine is naturally the largest consortium in Xiangjiang. It is not short of money, but Michael is different. He is short of money. Before, I thought that Michael should have the wealth that matched his status. Looks like a poor ghost now!"

  As soon as these words came out, Michael Keswick's face turned ashen.

  I, Michael Keswick, a disciple of the Yihe Keswick family, is now called a poor ghost by Chu Huan?

   If my mother is poor, how many rich people are there in Xiangjiang?

  Pfft!

   When Michael Keswick was angry, the person who had been secretly paying attention to the situation here couldn't help laughing out loud at what Chu Huan said.

   This fell on the ears of Michael Keswick, like a bolt from the blue!

   "Mr. Poor Ghost, let's go first. Let's continue when you have money in the future!"

  Chu Huan took Cao Yunshang's hand and left with a smile!

   Not today, thank you everyone, the next chapter will be at 12 o’clock tomorrow morning~ It’s not that Huangshan has to pick this point, the main reason is to fight for the exposure of the combat power list~ I hope everyone understands~~
