Chapter 402 The most powerful group of people in Xiangjiang (middle) (7K chapters, please subscribe~28)

  According to the financial announcements of Heung Kong's major listed companies last year, there are only 4 companies with a profit of more than 100 million Hong Kong dollars!

   First of all, HSBC, the God of Wealth of Xiangjiang, made a profit of 300 million Hong Kong dollars last year.

   Followed by Jardines, the largest British foreign firm, whose profit last year was 215 million Hong Kong dollars.

   Jumbo Land, one of Heung Kong's real estate companies, made a profit of HK$166 million last year.

  China Huadian, a subsidiary of the Kadoorie family in Hong Kong, made a profit of HK$121 million.

   Then it disappeared. From this, we can also see how the rich people in Xiangjiang felt when "Fortune" announced that Chu Huan's annual profit was more than 6 billion Hong Kong dollars.

  Of course, it is not known how much of this has not been made public. In addition, the global shipping of Chartered Ship King has not been made public.

   As for the profit close to 100 million yuan, there are not too many companies, and there are also 4 companies with more than 50 million Hong Kong dollars!

  Hang Seng Bank made a profit of 81.5 million Hong Kong dollars, Swire Mathesons 51 million Hong Kong dollars, Sun Hung Kai 76.4 million Hong Kong dollars, and New World 87.5 million Hong Kong dollars.

   Among them, Sun Hung Kai and New World are more profitable than the other time and space because they participated in the Huaye City project.

  As for Jian Yueqiang’s Bank of East Asia’s profit last year was only 33 million Hong Kong dollars, this is also because of the cooperation with Chu Huan, otherwise it would not have broken through 30 million Hong Kong dollars in another time and space!

  As for Wharf, another large real estate company under Jardine Matheson, its profit last year was HK$43.6 million!

  The impact of the stock market crash and the oil crisis has not dissipated.

But now the bosses of these groups in Xiangjiang, through what Shaya announced just now, they also understand one thing. If they want to improve their company's performance in such an environment, then the best way is to seek a partnership with Chu Huan. cooperate.

  In the crowd, Shen Bi and Li Jiacheng stood together.

Also because of the appearance of Chu Huan, the development of Changshi in Lijiacheng is far worse than that in another time and space. In another time and space, Changshi’s profit last year was close to 50 million Hong Kong dollars, which was 48.3 million Hong Kong dollars. But in this life, Changshi’s profit last year It was only 39.2 million Hong Kong dollars, and this was the result of the cooperation between Li Jiacheng and Shen Bi in advance. Otherwise, it might not even be 30 million.

  But it can also be seen that Li Jiacheng's ability, even if Chu Huan exists to compete with Changshi for projects everywhere, Changshi's revenue still exceeds most of the listed companies in Xiangjiang.

   After glancing at Chu Huan in the crowd, who was talking and laughing happily with Sanderson, the head of the Standard Chartered Bank, Li Jiacheng turned around and said to Shen Bi: "Mr. Shen, we are afraid that our life will become more and more difficult in the future!"

Originally thought that HSBC's acquisition of Ocean Milan Bank would give Shen Bi more bargaining chips in HSBC, but unexpectedly, Sha Ya finally chose to use KKR to join forces with HSBC's Voutoli to acquire Ocean Milan Bank in North America, and the result was successfully completed. .

   This indirectly increased Roy Bentley's influence in HSBC.

  Hearing what Li Jiacheng said, Shen Bi's eyes fell on Roy Bentley, who was talking and laughing happily with Bao Yugang, and a trace of ruthlessness flashed between his brows.

   Originally thought that he could sit firmly in the position of HSBC executive, but he didn't want Chu Huan to appear halfway, and then Roy Bentley, who had already been suppressed by him and lost the power to resist, also appeared in HSBC.

   Not only did it pop up, but now it has even faintly gained support similar to itself.

  Under the ebb and flow, Shen Bi agrees with Li Jiacheng's meaning that the future will be difficult.

  Thinking of this, Shen Bi couldn't help feeling restless.

"What's your opinion?"

  No matter how smart a person is, when he is angry, his judgment will be affected, even Shen Bi is the same, but smart people are better than stupid people.

  Stupid people make some incorrect decisions when they are angry.

  But smart people can suppress this impulse in their hearts, and they can put down their bodies to seek more help from smart people around them.

Shen Bi was like this at this time. He knew that his current situation was already in a very dangerous situation, which made him very angry, but anger could not solve the problem, so Shen Bi suppressed his anger, and turned to the equally smart man beside him. people looking for a way!

Li Jiacheng said earnestly: "I don't think we can target Chu Huan anymore. No matter how much Mr. Shen wants to win greater rights and interests for HSBC, one thing is for sure. At this time, Chu Huan is no longer The former Chu Huan is gone.

   If this continues, we don't know if we can suppress Chu Huan successfully, but one thing is certain, that is, it will completely push Chu Huan to Roy Bentley's side.

  I think Mr. Shen, you should change your target now. Suppressing Chu Huan is no longer your most important thing! "

  Shen Bi looked at Li Jiacheng and asked, "Then what is most important to me?"

  Li Jiacheng did not answer, but set his sights on Sha Ya who was chatting with Robert Bishi.

  Shen Bi understood what Li Jiacheng meant. The most important thing for him now is to successfully reach the top of HSBC in two years, otherwise, everything will be over!

   But if this is the case, I need to bow to Chu Huan!

  Thinking of this situation, Shen Bi's cheeks flushed red!

   "Small indifference can lead to big plans. Only after you sit in the position of HSBC executive can you truly express your personal ambitions, otherwise everything can only be empty talk!"

   Li Jiacheng continued to persuade.

At this time, although Li Jiacheng still couldn't understand why Chu Huan had always been so wary of him, but Li Jiacheng understood that this situation could not continue, otherwise, not only Shen Bi might not be able to sit in HSBC With the position of the top class, it is also difficult for one's own strengths to have the opportunity to develop.

  So, it doesn't matter whether Chu Huanxi likes him or not, the point is that he has to lick Chu Huan comfortably. Only in this way can Changshi have a broader development opportunity.

   But now everyone understands that he and Shen Bi are bound together, so if he alone is not enough, he has to be dragged along.

   Even Shen Bi has to be the main force!

  Li Jiacheng's words caused Shen Bi to fall into deep thought. After struggling, a smile appeared on Shen Bi's face, and he walked slowly towards Chu Huan.

  Sanderson saw Shen Bi approaching, smiled slightly, and said to Chu Huan: "Director Chu, it seems that you will be very busy tonight, so I won't disturb you for now, let's chat when we have time!"

  Chu Huan also saw Shen Bi approaching, and said to Sanderson with a little apology: "Okay, we have time to sit together!"

  When Sanderson left, Shen Bi happened to walk over.

   "Director Chu, HSBC was able to acquire Ocean Milano Bank successfully. Director Chu helped a lot. On behalf of HSBC, I would like to express my gratitude to Director Chu!"

   After finishing speaking, Shen Bi raised his wine glass!

Chu Huan smiled, raised his wine glass and said with a smile: "Mr. Shen is too polite. I am the director of HSBC. Naturally, I hope that HSBC will get better and better. It is my honor to help! "

   After finishing speaking, the two smiled and took a sip of the champagne in their glasses together.

  Shen Bi continued: "There was some unhappiness with Mr. Chu before, and it was my personal problem. I hope Mr. Chu will not take it to heart. From now on, we will work together for the development of Xiangjiang!"

  Chu Huan raised his vigilance in his heart. Instead of being happy because of Shen Bi's initiative to show weakness, he became more careful.

  An enemy who is clearly on the opposite side of you is actually not scary at all. The real scary thing is when the enemy changes his previous strategy and talks and laughs with you instead, that is the scariest thing.

  Because this means that the enemy has put all his attention on you.

Although he was vigilant in his heart, he still had a bright smile on his face. Chu Huan said: "What did Mr. Shen say, did we have any unpleasantness? Why didn't I know? It was just that everyone had different ideas before, and the quarrel in the business field , that is inevitable, but I have never had any personal grievances with Mr. Shen, and on the contrary, I have great admiration for Mr. Shen!"

Shen Bi laughed, and said: "It's true that I was thinking too much, but being able to know Mr. Chu's thoughts personally from Mr. Chu's mouth is a knot in my heart. I don't think it's better than this. Let's find a time together Go to a horse race?"

Chu Huan nodded and said: "Of course it's good. I've heard that Mr. Shen knows horse racing very well. Returning in defeat, if there is an expert like Mr. Shen to guide me, I will definitely be able to earn back what I lost before!"

  Shen Bi said with a bright smile: "If this is the case, I will feel very honored!"

   At this time, the two seemed to let go of all the grievances in their hearts, and they really became a pair of friends who talked about everything, and they chatted happily.

   At this moment, Roy Bentley came over, with vigilance in his eyes, but a very happy tone and asked: "What are you three talking about, so happy?"

Chu Huan was the biggest help for him to become the top class of HSBC. Roy Bentley was chatting with Bao Yugang just now, and he accidentally saw Chu Huan and Shen Bi having a happy conversation, and the alarm bell immediately sounded in his heart. Just after apologizing, he walked over directly.

  Shen Bi smiled and said: "I didn't talk about anything, I just expressed my gratitude to President Chu. Since Roy, you and President Chu have something to talk about, then Li Jiacheng and I will say goodbye first!"

   Speaking of this, Shen Bi said to Chu Huan again: "Director Chu, don't forget our agreement."

  After Shen Bi left, Roy Bentley asked Chu Huan worriedly: "Director Chu, what did Shen Bi agree with you?"

  Looking at the gap between Shen Bi and Roy Bentley, Chu Huan was not dissatisfied, but very happy. The HSBC Taipan he needed could not be too smart.

   "It's nothing, just make an appointment to watch the horse race together."

  Chu Huan didn't explain anything to Roy Bentley.

  Shen Bi changed his plan to get along with him, and Chu Huan could think of what the other party was thinking with his toes, but for Chu Huan, it didn't mean that everything was bad, and there were good things.

  That is to increase Roy Bentley's sense of crisis.

  At this time, Chu Huan is in HSBC. Apart from Sha Ya, Shen Bi and Roy Bentley don’t need to be too scruples.

   With the smooth sailing of this period of time, Roy Bentley will inevitably feel a little proud and complacent, and even think that Chu Huan cannot do without himself.

   Now Shen Bi's active appearance can make Roy Bentley understand that he is not the only choice to cooperate with him!

   Sure enough, after hearing what Chu Huan said, Roy Bentley's eyes were a little ugly, but they quickly changed into a smile.

   "Director Chu, this Shen Bi is nothing more than the fact that the current situation in HSBC is not good. If you want to establish a new relationship with you, A Huan, you must not forget what he did before!"

  Chu Huan knew that Roy Bentley wanted to understand his identity, and said with a smile: "Roy, don't worry, at HSBC, you will always be my closest partner!"

  Roy Bentley laughed, and then said to Chu Huan: "By the way, A Huan, let me introduce a friend to you. This friend has mentioned your name to me many times just now!"

  Chu Huan said with a smile: "Roy, your friend is naturally my friend!"

   The two came to a chat group, where Chu Huan also saw two acquaintances, Guo Desheng and Zheng Yutong!

   Among this small group, the core character is an old man in his seventies with gray hair but strong spirit.

   "Mr. He, hello!"

   It was useless to introduce Roy Bentley, Chu Huan had already greeted the other party on his own initiative.

   This old man is none other than He Shanheng, the chairman of Hong Kong Hang Seng Bank!

  Although Hang Seng Bank has been acquired by HSBC, the board of directors has not changed much, and He Shanheng is still the chairman of the board of directors. Therefore, Hang Seng Bank has always been regarded as a Chinese bank in Hong Kong.

   And Hang Seng Bank is also the leader among Chinese banks!

  The He Shanheng family not only runs the Hang Seng Bank, but their family is also involved in the two industries of real estate and trade.

  The He Shanheng family owns many properties, property equity and independent garden houses in Xiangjiang; Hengchang Trading Co., Ltd., a joint venture with He Tian and others, holds 35% of Hengchang shares.

  In addition, He Shanheng is also a shareholder of New World Real Estate. Zheng Yutong was able to develop New World in the Xiangjiang real estate industry without relying on rights issues because of his relationship with He Shanheng, and he can easily get loans from Hang Seng Bank!

   Not only that, He Shanheng is also the chairman of the Xiangjiang Miramar Group, but the real controller of the Miramar Group is Yang Zhiyun.

   It can be said that this person has a very large influence in Xiangjiang.

   Seeing Chu Huan greeting He Shanheng, Roy Bentley smiled and said, "It turns out that Director Chu knows Mr. He!"

  Chu Huan said with a smile: "I don't think there should be anyone who doesn't know Mr. He in Xiangjiang!"

  He Shanheng laughed and said: "Mr. Chu, don't make fun of me, an old man. Now it should be said that in Xiangjiang, who doesn't know Mr. Chu?"

  Chu Huan said: "Then Mr. He, you are flattering me. The owner of the noodle shop I often go to eat noodles two days ago is still saying that without the help of Hang Seng Bank, their noodle shop may not be able to open.

  It can also be seen how much Hang Seng Bank has helped Xiangjiang SMEs.

  Hang Seng Bank under the leadership of Mr. He is the one who has really sat down to serve the people of Hong Kong! "

  He Shanheng was even happier when he heard what Chu Huan said, and said with a smile: "Mr. Chu is really too famous!"

"Mr. Chu, the development of Jiandong East is a very meaningful thing. If Mr. Chu's Hang Lung Real Estate has any cash needs, you can come to our Hang Seng. Although there is no way to provide all the funds for Mr. Chu, but I can still support a part of it!"

  This is the real reason why He Shanheng wants to get to know Chu Huan.

With "Fortune" disclosing Chu Huan's wealth, everyone knows that Chu Huan may need some cash support for the development of the Jiandong land now, but in the future Chu Huan will definitely be able to easily deal with this matter, the difficulty is only now , and as long as there is "Fantasy Comics", there is no need to worry about Chu Huan's repayment ability.

  The most important thing is that according to Chu Huan's current influence, as long as he can get in touch with his company, he will definitely be able to increase his company's stock price.

   Such benefits, even Hang Seng Bank is not immune!

   Actually let alone Hang Seng, isn’t HSBC also eyeing this matter?

   "Mr. He, this is wrong. I invited your veteran Chu Huan here, but now you are robbing us of HSBC's business. Doesn't this make it impossible for me to explain to Taipan Shaya?"

   Roy Bentley was joking around.

   Both Bao Yugang and He Shanheng are inextricably linked with HSBC. Shen Bi has the support of foreign firms such as Jardines and Swire, so he needs more support from Chinese consortiums.

   It’s also interesting to say that when Shen Bi was the head of HSBC in another time and space, he was very supportive of Chinese capital, but now he relies more on the influence of British foreign firms.

  As for Shen Bi in another time and space, although he supports a lot of Chinese consortiums, don't really regard Shen Bi as a friend of the Chinese.

  Shen Bi once said: I am just a banker!

  The more important reason why Shen Bi supported the Chinese-funded consortium was because the rise of the Chinese-funded consortium in Xiangjiang was already irreversible. Coupled with the development of the situation in Xiangjiang, this was the reason why Shen Bi supported the Chinese-funded consortium.

  So, he didn't want to support Huazi, but the environment at the time made him do so.

  If you were any capable HSBC taipan, you would actually make such a choice.

He Shanheng laughed, and said: "Manager Bentley, you are being modest. The funds needed for Mr. Chu's Jiandong project are not all that our Hang Seng family can help, and more help is needed from HSBC. Besides, Hang Seng , HSBC is a family, so how can we separate them from each other?"

   Roy Bentley laughed.

   "If this is the case, why don't I find a time to invite Mr. He and Mr. Chu to sit down together, and let's discuss this matter together?"

  Does Chu Huan need a loan to develop East Tsim Sha Tsui?

   The answer is necessary. Although Cao Yunzu’s design drawings have not yet come out, everyone has given a minimum amount before that, which is 6 billion Hong Kong dollars!

   But is this number really the final number?

  At least Chu Huan is not so optimistic. In Chu Huan's view, the construction cost is increasing every year, not to mention other things. If the development of Tsim Sha Tsui is one day late, the construction cost will increase.

  In addition to Chu Huan’s giving to Cao Yunzu, Pei Yuming’s explanation is that he doesn’t care about the cost, and just follow the design of the most modern building complex. In this case, the cost of 6 billion will definitely be unaffordable.

   It is also impossible for Chu Huan to fill all the profits from "Fantasy Comics" and its surroundings into this project in the next period of time.

   So the loan is yes.

  The only thing that is uncertain now is the question of how much loan is needed!

   "If you want to say that the bank with the best relationship between Xiangjiang and A Huan is our Bank of East Asia!"

   At this time, Li Fushu, the latest chairman of the Bank of East Asia, came over and greeted everyone with a smile on his face.

  After seeing Li Fushu's arrival, everyone had different expressions. Before that, the Bank of East Asia must have the best relationship with Chu Huan, because everyone knew the relationship between Chu Huan and Jian Yueqiang.

but now!

  Jian Yueqiang has left the Bank of East Asia, and the newly appointed top class Li Fushu and Chu Huan don't have such a deep relationship.

   "Ah Huan, we haven't seen each other for a long time. After today's dance is over, we have to sit down!" After greeting everyone, Li Fushu enthusiastically preached to Chu Huan.

  At this time, everyone remembered that Chu Huan and Li Fushu were not unrelated. When Chu Huan was able to win Huaren Real Estate, he was also the first to buy the shares of Huaren Real Estate from Li Fushu's hands.

  Chu Huan said with a smile: "Let's meet Li Sheng, I have no problem!"

Li Fushu was also very happy to see that Chu Huan agreed to his invitation, and said with a smile, "Ah Huan, I have already held a meeting with the directors of the company for your development in Jiandong this time. Keep working together!"

Chu Huan said: "Of course, I am very happy to get the support of the Bank of East Asia, but the development and design drawings of the land in Tsim Sha Tsui East have not yet been released, let alone the development budget, so we still have to cooperate with each other. Wait, after all, even if I say that everyone can cooperate now, there is no way to give you a specific number, right?"

  Li Fushu frowned slightly. When Roy Bentley and He Shanheng talked about this matter with Chu Huan just now, Chu Huan did not mention it.

  But just as Li Fushu was frowning on this matter, another important person from the Li family also came over.

   It is Li Fuzhao, the current chairman of Xiangjiang Far East Association!

The current Xiangjiang is still in the era of the four associations, which are the earliest Xiangjiang Association in Xiangjiang, the Far East Association founded by Li Fuzhao, and the Gold and Silver Association founded by Hu Hanhui in May 1971. According to Hu Hanhui’s intention, the purpose of the establishment of the Gold and Silver Association , hoping to provide an increasingly popular securities investment opportunity for members of the Chinese Gold and Silver Exchange Society.

Therefore, the original "Articles of Association" of the association stipulated that only members of the Gold and Silver Trade Society can join. Later, due to changes in the situation, the articles of association were revised to allow non-trade members to participate. RMB, and RMB 80,000 for non-trade members".

  The business of the Gold and Silver Club has developed rapidly, and its turnover has gradually surpassed that of the Hong Kong Club, but it has not been able to surpass that of the Far East Club.

  In 1972, the Kowloon Stock Exchange Co., Ltd., also known as the Kowloon Club, was founded by district councilor Chen Pufen and others, and it also announced its official opening.

Since "Kowloon Club" is the smallest of the four exchanges, people in the industry joked about the situation at that time as "3.1 Club", which means that the club's strength is weak, and its trading volume is only 0.1 of that of other exchanges. Will add up, the sum is 3.1.

In fact, after this, many people in Hong Kong have been planning to establish new stock exchanges one after another. Among them are the Asian Stock Exchange run by Chen Rixin, the leader of the original residents of the New Territories, the International Exchange chaired by the director of the Overseas Trust Bank, Zhang Mingyi, and a company run by The United Exchange hosted by Thomas Tang and located in Mong Kok.

   In addition, there is a world exchange composed of unknown people, which is said to have opened in Kowloon.

  However, due to various reasons, these exchanges were either "stillborn", or were wiped out in the bud by the government or competitors.

In order to prevent more and more stock exchanges from being established, the Hong Kong government urgently promulgated "Act No. 20 of 1973" on March 1, 1973, collectively referred to as the "Stock Exchange Control Regulations", to prohibit the indiscriminate opening of stock exchanges at that time. .

  The Ordinance stipulates that since March 2, 1973, no one can open an exchange without special approval from the Financial Secretary or the Governor of Hong Kong. Violators can be fined up to 500,000 yuan.

  So now, Xiangjiang is only the era of Sihui.

  In fact, last year, these four associations had been organized to form the Hong Kong Stock Exchange Association, but this is only a nominal association and does not have any legal effect.

  The real merger of the four meetings will not be officially merged into the Xiangjiang Stock Exchange until 1986!

  Seeing Li Fuzhao approaching, everyone looked at Li Fushu one after another. Although the two were brothers, the Xiangjiang business community knew that the two brothers were at odds.

  But although everyone has a heart of gossip, but on such an occasion, the identities of everyone made them choose to leave the scene and talk to their other friends.

  Li Fushu glanced at Li Fuzhao, and finally left without saying anything.

   "Mr. Chu, I have never thanked you properly for providing Jiahu Building to our Far East Club as a new office location!"

  Li Fuzhao showed his domineering side, even though he was thanking Chu Huan, he didn't show any humility.

  Where the Far East Club was founded, the office was located in Hua Ren Xing, but as Hua Ren Xing was acquired and rebuilt by Chu Huan, the Far East Club naturally needed a new office location.

  So the Far East Club finally chose the property in Central, which also belongs to Chu Huan, Jiahu Building!

  Chu Huan said with a smile: "Li Sheng is too polite, I should thank Li Sheng for taking care of the business of our Jiahu Building!"

  Li Fuzhao waved his hand and said: "Everyone just takes care of each other, but if possible, our Far East Association really hopes to be taken care of by President Chu!"

  Chu Huan smiled and said, "I don't know what Li Sheng means?"

Li Fuzhao said: "I know that Mr. Chu has been worrying about the funds needed for land development in East Tsim Sha Tsui. I personally have a suggestion, which can not only help Mr. Chu solve the financial difficulties, but also not require Mr. Chu to ask any bank loan."

  Chu Huan instantly understood what Li Fuzhao meant. If not for this man being able to become the father of Hong Kong's securities industry, his ambition is indeed big enough!

   "What does Li Sheng mean?"

  Although he had already thought of what Li Fuzhao meant, Chu Huan still asked.

   "I think Director Chu can completely merge Hang Lung Real Estate and Huhua Real Estate and then go public. In this case, I believe that according to Director Chu's influence in Xiangjiang, he will definitely be able to raise all the funds needed to develop Tsim Sha Tsui East!"

   Huangshan continues to roll to code words. The chapter at 12 o’clock may be a little later, but it shouldn’t be too late. Everyone should go to bed first and wake up tomorrow morning~~
