  The merchants in Xiangjiang talked about Chu Huan's wealth, let alone those ordinary Xiangjiang citizens.

  They may not have seen the magazine "Fortune", but they have seen reports from other media and newspapers in Xiangjiang.

  When seeing this report, everyone's first reaction was to say yes.

   "Are you kidding me?"

  A net worth of HK$65.8 billion?

   "I remember we discussed before, is Chu Huan's net worth over 10 billion Hong Kong dollars?"

   Someone held a newspaper and couldn't help but asked his friends around him.

   "That's right!" This friend also looked confused.

   "How can you be worth more than 60 billion yuan in the blink of an eye?"

   "Hey, that's why we didn't know that "Fantasy Comics" and the merchandise of fantasy comics sell so much money!"

   "Just those few comics and a few toys can make so much money?"

   "It's been said in the newspapers, can this be false?"

   "Then Chu Huan must be the richest man in Xiangjiang now, right?"

   "That must be!"

   "How old is Chu Huan now?"

"twenty two!"

   "What were you doing when you were 22?"

   "Then what were you doing when you were 22?"

   "Eat, eat!"

   "Haha, eat, eat!"

   Such discussions can be heard in every corner of Xiangjiang, and everyone is amazed at Chu Huan's wealth.

"I remember that "Fortune" once said that the net worth of the charter king seems to be 700 to 1 billion US dollars, and now Chu Huan's net worth has exceeded 10 billion US dollars, so do you think Chu Huan is fishing for shark's fin every day now? "

   "Fuck, then a three-headed abalone must be added!"

   "I think so too!"

   This matter has begun to ferment, and now it has become a hot topic in Xiangjiang.

   To put it simply, the largest listed company in Xiangjiang now, excluding public listed companies like HSBC, counts as one of all private listed companies, and there is no listed company whose market value can compare with Chu Huan.

   Besides profit, HSBC is recognized as the No. 1 company in Heung Kong, but what was the profit of HSBC last year?

  350 million Hong Kong dollars, this is because of the cooperation with Chu Huan on many projects, otherwise, according to the development of another time and space, HSBC’s profit last year was only 300 million Hong Kong dollars!

   And what about Chu Huan?

  According to "Fortune" estimates, Chu Huan's profit this year is around 6 billion Hong Kong dollars!

   This is simply the existence of two dimensions.

  Of course, many things are actually not enough just to look at them. Just like what Guo Bingxiang said, when doing business in Xiangjiang, having money can indeed determine many things, but some things are not just about being rich.

  This is also the reason why Chu Huan has been reluctant to disclose the financial report of the company under his name before, it is easy to attract people's jealousy, and then be calculated by others.

   "Fortunately, there is still a hand left. They don't know about Brother Audiovisual, Kyushu Electronics, and Wolf Smoke Games."

  Chu Huan sat in his office and put the "Fortune" in his hands aside. As I said before, the matter is a foregone conclusion, and it is impossible to change anything.

  As for what kind of blow I will face, I don't know yet, but thinking about it, even if someone wants to suppress me, it is impossible to do it at this time, it is too sensitive.

   But now that things have happened, Chu Huan decided to do something.

  In the past, I was unwilling to make too much publicity, but now that everyone knows these things, it should be put on the agenda.

  After thinking it over, Chu Huan called Xu Yi in.

   "Contact He Bingguang from Hang Lung Real Estate, Lu Qi from Huhua Real Estate, Jiang Chengyu from the Legal Department of Jiaku Consulting Company, Cui Weihua, Manager of the Finance Department, and Joe John, Manager of the Operations Department. We will have a meeting tomorrow to discuss the merger of the two companies!"

The merger of Huhua Real Estate and Hang Lung Real Estate was Chu Huan's idea long ago. Although the two real estate companies have different main businesses, the main project of Huhua Real Estate is Huaye City, and the main project of Hang Lung Real Estate is The Tsim Sha Tsui East land is about to be developed, but the two real estate companies have too many integrations in residential projects, and even competed for a piece of land at the auction.

   In Chu Huan's view, this was a waste of the resources of the two companies.

   Now it’s all right. Since Fortune has disclosed part of its industry, it will now take advantage of this opportunity to merge the two companies and reorganize resources so that they can make the best use of it!

Xu Yi knew that Chu Huan had this idea for a long time, but when he heard that Chu Huan was going to do this at this time, he still said worriedly: "If this is the case, the newly established real estate company will become the largest real estate company in Xiangjiang. One of the real estate companies, now because of the "Fortune" report, there has been a lot of noise in Xiangjiang about your wealth, the boss, will it be too high-profile to merge the two companies now?"

  Chu Huan waved his hand and said with a smile: "Since it's already a sensation, why not just take advantage of this incident and do it as well. If we do it in the future, it will be another separate sensation!"

  Hearing what Chu Huan said, Xu Yi didn't say anything.

  In fact, Xu Yi also understands that things like wealth are actually a very ethereal thing. If you want to talk about Chu Huan's net worth of more than 60 billion, after reading the report on "Fortune", no one would think there is any problem.

   But in fact, although a company like Jardine you are talking about may not have as high a net worth as Chu Huan in terms of market value, in fact, their own asset value is also quite a lot.

  Market value is the most intuitive reaction of the market to a company!

   But asset value is the real foundation of a company.

   This is also the reason why Wei Li and other high-level executives disagreed with Li Jiacheng when the snake swallowed the whale and Huang. HSBC used the stock price instead of Hutchison's asset value!

   "By the way, boss, Mr. Jian Yueqiang from the Bank of East Asia called before and said that he would invite you to sit at home tonight!"

  Xu realized the phone call just now.

  Chu Huan asked indifferently, "Did Uncle Jian say something?"

  Xu Yi glanced at Chu Huan, and then said: "Actually, when you went to New York, there was a news from the Xiangjiang business community that Mr. Jian Yueqiang was planning to resign as the chairman of the Bank of East Asia."

  Xu Yi knew about the relationship between Chu Huan and Jian Yueqiang, so when talking about this matter, he couldn't help but wonder if Chu Huan would be angry because of this matter.

   As a result, Chu Huan just smiled and said, "Okay, I see."

  In the afternoon, after finishing work in Jiahu Mansion, Chu Huan got in the car and went to Jian Yueqiang's mansion.

   What surprised Chu Huan was that there were other guests here!

Wu Zhande, the chairman of Xiangjiang Maxim Group, and Wu Shuqing, Wu Zhande's daughter, Chu Huan had seen these two people at previous activities at the chamber of commerce, so they knew each other, but beside them, there was a man in his early 20s with a temperament Chu Huan didn't recognize a girl who was a little gentle but had a tough look in her eyes.

   However, although the Wu family is not considered a top wealthy family in Xiangjiang, the family is also a big family. This should be a child of the Wu family.

  As for Maxim’s Group, it belongs to the catering group in Xiangjiang. In the early days, it was engaged in Western food, but now it has entered Chinese food. It is one of the most famous catering groups in Xiangjiang.

  However, for Maxim’s Group, the first thing that later generations will remember is that Maxim’s Group was the first Sino-foreign joint venture established in Xiangjiang’s hometown.

  In 1979, North America, my hometown, established diplomatic relations, and the two countries will also realize direct flights.

  At that time, flying by plane was a rare thing for the vast majority of Chinese people, and it became a big problem to provide food and beverages that meet international standards for direct flights across the Pacific Ocean.

  The Civil Aviation Administration approached Wu Zhande, the founder of Xiangjiang Maxim’s Group.

  In the absence of approval documents and contracts, Wu Zhande and his daughter Wu Shuqing first raised 5 million Hong Kong dollars to purchase equipment from North America, and shipped it from Xiangjiang to Beijing.

  In April of the following year, Jingcheng Aviation Food Co., Ltd., the first Sino-foreign joint venture in my hometown after the reform and opening up, was officially established with the approval of the above.

   This is a pair of Hong Kong businessmen who have a good reputation in later generations.

   "Uncle Jian, Director Wu, Miss Wu!"

  After Chu Huan walked into the living room, although he didn't know why Wu Zhande was here, he still greeted him with a smile.

   "A Huan, you shocked everyone this time." Jian Yueqiang laughed and said after seeing Chu Huan.

"It's just good luck!" Chu Huan smiled first, then looked at the situation at the scene, and asked Jian Yueqiang: "Will Uncle Jian delay your discussion, why don't I go eat something first, I just came over from the company , haven't eaten yet!"

   With Jian Yueqiang, Chu Huan doesn't need to be polite.

  Jian Yueqiang smiled and said: "It's okay, besides, dinner is already being prepared in the kitchen, and there are home-cooked dishes you like, just wait a while!"

  Jian Yueqiang also understands Chu Huan's eating habits. Chu Huan doesn't really care about the top ingredients that look tall but can be solved in one or two bites. He prefers to eat home-cooked food.

  Hearing what Jian Yueqiang said, Chu Huan didn't say anything, and sat aside.

  When Wu Zhande saw Chu Huan coming, he actually wanted to get up and say goodbye, but thinking of the problems his company encountered, he didn't get up in the end, but continued to discuss with Jian Yueqiang.

After listening for a while, Chu Huan understood why Wu Zhande came here this time. It turned out that the development of Maxim's Group had encountered a bottleneck, and the stock market in Xiangjiang had not turned around yet, so Wu Zhande wanted to get a loan from the Bank of East Asia. money!

   It’s just that Wu Zhande was looking for Li Guobao before, but at that time Li Guobao did not agree to Wu Zhande’s loan application, so Wu Zhande had no choice but to come to Jian Yueqiang in person.

  Maxim’s Group and Bank of East Asia have always been good partners. Later, Jingcheng Aviation Catering Co., Ltd. in his hometown actually also owned shares in Bank of East Asia, but they did it together with Wu Zhande.

   Now that Jian Yueqiang has decided to leave the Bank of East Asia, the internal affairs of the Bank of East Asia must be very chaotic, so it is not that Li Guobao is deliberately rejecting Wu Zhande, it is really that he has not taken care of this matter during this time.

   And Jian Yueqiang is actually very embarrassed about this matter now. Although the board of directors of the Bank of East Asia is a bit chaotic, Li Guobao's father, Li Fushu, is still the most hopeful to take the position of chairman of the Bank of East Asia.

Since Jian Yueqiang wanted to leave the Bank of East Asia, he wanted to leave cleanly and didn't want to leave any traces behind, so he didn't want anything embarrassing to happen to the Li family. Now Li Guobao rejected Wu Zhande's loan application. Turn around here and give him approval.

   It's not good!

"Brother Jian, this time is really a very good opportunity. If our Maxim's Group can get the support of your bank, I believe we can break the current bottleneck and make it to the next level. Brother Jian, please take care of us. For the sake of our long-term cooperation, we agree to this loan from our company!"

  Wu Zhande was born in 22 years, Jian Yueqiang was born in 13 years, and the relationship between the two was really good before, so Wu Zhande called Jian Yueqiang Brother Jian at this time.

  Jian Yueqiang showed a helpless expression, and said: "Brother Wu, you should also know the current situation of the Bank of East Asia. This matter is really not easy to handle now!"

   Jian Yueqiang still admires Maxim's Group, but appreciation is appreciation, and he can't mess up his retirement plan!

Before Chu Huan came, Wu Zhande had already discussed with Jian Yueqiang for a long time, and now it has been 20 minutes since Chu Huan came to Jian's house. After this period of discussion, Wu Zhande indeed found that Jian Yueqiang could not help him .

  With deep regret, Wu Zhande got up and prepared to leave.

   Just when Wu Zhande was about to say goodbye to Jian Yueqiang, Chu Huan suddenly said, "I don't know how much Wu Dong wants to borrow from the Bank of East Asia this time?"

  Jian Yueqiang glanced at Chu Huan suspiciously, but Wu Zhande immediately showed a happy smile. Now the entire Xiangjiang business community is talking about Chu Huan.

  Wu Zhande is naturally not exempt.

   Now hearing Chu Huan's question, he hurriedly said, "Not much, just 5 million Hong Kong dollars!"

  5 million Hong Kong dollars? Pay it off?

  Chu Huan felt that now he seemed a little ignorant of these wealthy businessmen in Xiangjiang.

   Do they all have their own channels for getting money like this?

  However, Chu Huan still smiled and said, "If it's only 5 million Hong Kong dollars, I can personally lend money to Director Wu. As for the interest? Just use the bank's ordinary commercial loan interest. How about two years?"

The loan to Wu Zhande was naturally not because of Chu Huan's kindness, but because Chu Huan knew the influence of the Wu family in his hometown. Although according to Chu Huan's current influence in Xiangjiang, as long as the situation in his hometown changes, Chu Huan No matter when you go back, you can receive the highest standard of treatment.

   But Chu Huan would be very satisfied if he could have more teammates by his side.

not to mention.

  5 million Hong Kong dollars? is it a lot?

   At this time in Xiangjiang, only Chu Huan can describe the 5 million Hong Kong dollars as repayment!

  Hearing what Chu Huan said, Wu Zhande immediately showed a surprised smile, and hurriedly said: "If Director Chu is willing, that would be great!"

  Chu Huan asked with a smile: "Then I don't know when Director Wu is going to need the money?"

  Wu Zhande immediately said: "Naturally, the sooner the better!"

   After listening, Chu Huan nodded, and then took out a checkbook from his jacket pocket, "Uncle Jian, please ask the servant to bring me a pen!"

  For convenience, Chu Huan carried a checkbook with him at all times, but he didn't have a pen, which was really inconvenient.

   "I, I have it here!" An unproficient Cantonese voice sounded.

  Chu Huan followed the reputation, and it was the girl whose identity he didn't know who said it. At this time, the other party had already taken out a pen from his coat pocket.

only

   This pen looks like an old-fashioned pen from my hometown in the 1920s and 1930s, which is somewhat different from what everyone in Xiangjiang is using.

  However, it can be seen that the other party is very concerned about the preservation of this pen, and there is no flaw on the body of the pen.

  Chu Huan took the pen from the other party's hand, and said with a smile, "Thank you!"

   "You're welcome!" The other party said softly.

  Chu Huan wrote a check for 5 million Hong Kong dollars, then tore it off and handed it to Wu Zhande, making a joke: "Wu Director, I will be your creditor from now on!"

  Wu Zhande asked Chu Huan excitedly: "Director Chu, haven't we signed any documents yet?"

  Chu Huan waved his hands and smiled: "It doesn't matter, I can do it when I have time. Besides, I don't think Director Wu should lie to me for 5 million Hong Kong dollars, right?"

  Everyone present, except for the girl, laughed. At this time, no one would dare to lie to Chu Huan.

  Then Chu Huan returned the pen to the girl, and smiled again: "Thank you."

  The girl blushed slightly, and said in a low voice, "I should thank you for my uncle!"

   After borrowing the money, Wu Zhande naturally stopped staying here. He thanked Chu Huan again, bid farewell to Jian Yueqiang, and left Jian Yueqiang's mansion with Wu Shuqing and his niece.

  In the car, Wu Zhande's niece couldn't help but let out a long sigh of relief, and then asked Wu Shuqing curiously.

   "Sister, who was that young man just now? This is five million Hong Kong dollars. Five yuan is a huge sum of money in my hometown!"

  Wu Shuqing smiled slightly: "Isn't he the richest man in Xiangjiang now? Have you forgotten what was reported in the newspaper you read earlier?"

  The girl was startled, and couldn't help asking: "Is he Chu Huan?"

  Just now Jian Yueqiang called Chu Huan A Huan, and Wu Zhande called Chu Huan Director Chu, but the girl still didn't think about the name 'Chu Huan'.

   Now that I heard my cousin say that, I just thought of it.

  Seeing the surprised expression of the girl, Wu Zhande, who was sitting in the back, smiled and said: "Shu Han, Chu Huan is about the same age as you, and he is the real richest Chinese man now, you have to work hard!"

  Wu Shuhan blushed and said, "Uncle, don't make fun of me!"

Wu Shuqing was driving the car beside him, and asked Wu Zhande curiously: "Daddy, although it is a good thing to get the money this time, why did Chu Huan lend us money for no reason? I remember we and Didn't he have anything to do with each other?"

  Wu Shuhan was a little surprised sitting on the sidelines and listening, 5 million Hong Kong dollars, it doesn’t matter if you just borrow it?

Wu Zhande was actually a little suspicious, and said: "I don't understand this matter, but no matter what, Chu Huan lent us 5 million according to the bank's loan interest, and didn't mention any conditions, which means that the other party is paying for it. He really wanted to help us."

When talking about this, Wu Zhande couldn't help sighing: "In fact, in the past, when our generation first started doing business in Xiangjiang, everyone was like this with each other. Where the ghosts are suppressing, the merchants of the Chinese people will provide help if they are capable."

Wu Shuqing nodded. Although she still didn't understand, Chu Huan really didn't ask for anything when he borrowed the money from them. Besides, Maxim's Group is one of the most famous catering groups in Xiangjiang, but on Chu Huan's side, it is estimated that It's an existence that doesn't even bother to look at.

  So Wu Shuqing is not worried that Chu Huan has ideas about their family business.

"Ah Qing, now that the funding problem has been resolved, I will deal with the company's affairs first. Shu Han has just come to Xiangjiang not long ago, and you take her to familiarize herself with Xiangjiang's environment, and she will be able to live here better in the future! "

  Wu Zhande preached to Wu Shuqing.

  Wu Shuqing nodded, and just about to agree, Wu Shuhan hurriedly said: "Uncle, no need, now is an important time for the company's development, just let the eldest sister stay by your side and help you, you don't have to worry about my affairs!"

Wu Zhande was not born and raised in Xiangjiang, but was born in Taishan, Guangdong Province. It is said that he was born at an untimely time. When he was young, because of the ruthless war, his family was forced to move to Haojiang. Not long after, he moved to Shaoguan, now settled down.

  After becoming an adult, he and several brothers came to Xiangjiang to work hard, but not all the Wu brothers came to Xiangjiang, and Wu Zhande's youngest brother stayed in his hometown.

   Later, Wu Zhande's younger brother got married and had a child in his hometown, and Wu Shuhan was born.

   As a result, Wu Zhande's younger brother and wife died in his hometown two years ago. Before his death, Wu Shuhan knew that he had an uncle who was doing business in Xiangjiang.

But at that time, Wu Shuhan didn't want to come to Xiangjiang, but stayed in her hometown, but she just caught up with her. The young and beautiful Wu Shuhan didn't think much about it, so she went, but she was targeted by others. That's why Wu Shuhan had the idea of ​​coming to Xiangjiang to join his uncle.

   Taking advantage of the opportunity of returning home to visit relatives, Wu Shuhan, together with many people who escaped from G, wanted to break through the iron net and come to Xiangjiang. Fortunately, she passed.

   Then he found Wu Zhande according to the address his father gave him. After confirmation, Wu Zhande took in his niece and kept her by his side as his own daughter!

  Wu Shuqing is indeed Wu Zhande's right-hand man, and she is indeed useful in many places during this time, so she thought about it and said: "Then I will let your fourth sister accompany you!"

  Wu Zhande, like the charter king, has no children in his life, only four daughters!

  Wu Shuqing is the boss.

Wu Shuhan didn't want to delay other people's affairs because of his own affairs, so he said: "No need, Fourth Sister and the others also have their own affairs, uncle, what I can handle by myself is just to wander around without doing anything? "

   Seeing Wu Shuhan's insistence, Wu Zhande couldn't say anything more.

  In Jian Yueqiang's mansion!

  Chu Huan and Jian Yueqiang sat at the dining table and had a meal. Most of Jian Yueqiang's family members were in North America, so although Jian Yueqiang's home was large, there were actually no people there.

  On the dining table, as Jian Yueqiang said, there are some home-cooked dishes.

  Chu Huan picked up a plate of braised pork on the table, poured the soup into his own bowl, then mixed rice, took another piece of braised pork, and put it in his mouth with the rice.

  Jian Yueqiang is getting older, so his food will naturally be light. What he puts in front of him are some green vegetables and the like. Seeing where Chu Huan picked up another chicken leg, he couldn't help laughing.

   "If people outside see your image, they will never believe that you are the richest man!"

  Chu Huan chuckled, and said nonchalantly: "I don't care if they believe it or not, the world is full and the stomach is the biggest!"

  Jian Yueqiang laughed and said, "I'm afraid this incident will cause you some trouble in the future!"

  Chu Huan understood what Jian Yueqiang meant, nodded, and then asked, "Uncle Jian, do you have any good suggestions?"

  Jian Yueqiang didn't think about it either. Obviously, he had already figured out a way to help Chu Huan, and said with a smile: "Walk around with MacLehose more, he still has a lot of ideas, and what he does at the same time also needs the support of some Chinese businessmen."

  Chu Huan nodded after listening, and then said with a smile: "Thank you, Uncle Jian."

  Jian Yueqiang continued: "Also, for the next period of time, it's best to keep a low profile, so as not to be caught and do something to you!"

  Chu Huan nodded again, but still told Jian Yueqiang about his plan to merge Hang Lung Real Estate and Huhua Real Estate.

  Jian Yueqiang didn't expect Chu Huan to have such an idea at that time, and said: "The advantages and disadvantages are equal to each other, right?

  The advantage is that it can integrate the resources of the two companies, making it easier for you to use it. The disadvantage is that it is naturally such a big target, and it is very likely to become a bridgehead for others to attack you. "

  Chu Huan said: "It's nothing more than soldiers coming to cover the water and soil. Now I also want to see what kind of methods these people will use!"

  Jian Yueqiang reminded Chu Huan: "You must understand the reason why Muxiu must be destroyed by the forest wind. Now I will give you four more words: too hard is easy to break, so sometimes you have to learn to compromise."

  Chu Huan laughed and said, "That depends on whether I am willing or not!"

  Chu Huan has been working tirelessly to make money, why?

   Isn’t it just letting yourself live as you want?

  Chu Huan would definitely not want to compromise with others in this position.

  Jian Yueqiang didn't say much, he knew that Chu Huan must know how to choose.

   "By the way, Uncle Jian, are you really planning to leave the Bank of East Asia?"

  Chu Huan asked Jian Yueqiang.

  Jian Yueqiang nodded, and said: "When people are old, they don't want to be exposed to those intrigues all the time. Since this is the case, it's better to go clean!"

   "Okay, as long as Uncle Jian is happy!" Chu Huan smiled.

Jian Yueqiang seriously said to Chu Huan: "A Huan, if you want to have a higher status in Xiangjiang, have more right to speak, and have an industry, I hope you can enter as soon as possible to avoid more troubles in the future. .”

  Chu Huan asked: "Which industry?"

   "Banking!"

   There is another chapter, but it may be in the afternoon, so I have to code now~~
