Chapter 415 Goal: Four major British foreign firms (7K chapters, please subscribe~)

  Japan, Tokyo, Shibuya District, Daikanyama, Chu Huan's villa!

  Chu Huan's goal has never been just a British foreign firm of Hehe International!

  Jardines, Swire, Wheelock, Hehe International, and Chu Huan, the four major British foreign firms, all want it. If they can get these four foreign firms, it basically indicates that Chu Huan has completed his layout in the Xiangjiang industry.

   Now that Hehe International is in his own hands, it can be regarded as completing a quarter of the goal.

  But Chu Huan's next goal is not Jardine, but Wheelock!

  Although there are comments from the business community in later generations that Bao Yugang’s acquisition of Wheelock was a failure, but in fact it involved many levels.

  First of all, Bao Yugang’s acquisition of Wheelock took place in the mid-1980s. At that time, Wheelock was in a period of internal and external troubles.

  Internal worries. At that time, the John Marden family was no longer the largest shareholder of Wheelock. The largest shareholder of Wheelock was actually the Xiangjiang Zhang Yuliang family.

  Because of John Madden's misjudgment of the situation in Xiangjiang at that time, he put Wheelock's treasure on the shipping industry, but at that time, the global shipping industry entered a cold winter, resulting in heavy losses for Wheelock Shipping.

   Zhang Yuliang chose to manage Wheelock separately from John Madden, and took away the real estate companies under Wheelock's professional trust, federal real estate, and Xialiwen development.

  Foreign aggression is naturally a cold winter for the world shipping industry.

  Bao Yugang bought the shares of Wheelock at a high price, and at the same time he had to bear the debts of Wheelock itself, which naturally made Bao Yugang feel very difficult.

But in fact, in 1976, John Madden already had the idea of ​​​​selling Wheelock shares, and even met with Jardine Niubijian for this purpose. As a result, HSBC was worried that the acquisition would Defeng's Jardine Club surpassed HSBC in terms of size, so Hutchison Huang of HSBC Holdings at the time came forward and stopped the transaction.

   At that time, Hutchison was one of the major shareholders of Wheelock.

  Therefore, Chu Huan did not need to wait until the 1980s to make a move. He could have become the major shareholder of Wheelock when John Madden was preparing to sell the shares of Wheelock in 1976.

  The reason why I did not mention the acquisition is that the largest shareholder of Wheelock is actually Zhang Yuliang’s family, which holds 40% of Wheelock’s shares.

  Zhang Yuliang’s family started with Western medicine, and set foot in real estate in the late 1950s.

  In 1962, Zhang Yuliang started to build two buildings in the Central District with funds from his family company.

  At that time, the Hong Kong Stock Exchange had only one Hong Kong Club, and the Far East Club had not yet been established, let alone the Gold and Silver Club and the Kowloon Club. It was difficult for Chinese companies to go public.

  Zhang Yuliang was determined to go public through a backdoor. He first sold a building, the Federal Building, to Wheelock's Federal Real Estate Co., Ltd. in exchange for 7.64 million shares of Federal Real Estate.

   Later, Zhang Yuliang sold the International Building to Liberal Real Estate in exchange for its shares.

  By July 1970, the Chang family owned 77% of Federal Real Estate.

   It's just that the Zhang family has always been low-key, and people have always believed that Federal Real Estate is a listed company of the Madden family.

  Actually, the real shareholder boss is the Zhang family.

   Between 1970 and 1972, the Zhang family once again went public through a backdoor, exchanging some of the shares of United Real Estate, as well as properties such as May Road, Plantation Road, Garden Terrace in the Mid-Levels, and successively exchanged shares of Wheelock.

  The Zhang family held up to 40% of Wheelock’s shares at the highest level, and the Madden family’s shares fell to 20%. The largest shareholder, Zhang Yuliang, only serves as a director, and the chairman of the board of directors and chief executive officer are still John Madden.

  The Zhang family backdoor listing, as long as the meat (real), regardless of the shell (name).

  This character is completely different from John Madden. John Madden only needs his shell, regardless of his flesh, which has been hollowed out by others.

  Because Zhang Yuliang wanted profit but not name, John Madden didn't feel that Zhang, the largest shareholder, was a threat.

  If Chu Huan can win Wheelock next year or even this year, then he will have a large amount of land reserves under Wheelock, and there is also a company under Wheelock that Chu Huan is very interested in, Lane Crawford!

  Lane Crawford, as the largest boutique chain store in Xiangjiang, can directly fill Cao Yunshang's luxury empire.

  Of course, the premise is that Chu Huan wants to get rid of Zhang Yuliang's family.

  As for Jardines, attacking the flanks first and attacking the center later, this is the best way for later generations to acquire Jardines.

   And Chu Huan is not going to change!

  The only thing that makes Chu Huan feel a little difficult is Taikoo. The Shi Huaiya family's management of Taikoo is really too tight, and it is very difficult to acquire it!

   But not hopeless.

Although Shen Bi didn't know his real thoughts, but now Shen Bi revealed his idea of ​​buying Jardine to Niu Bijian, which would definitely make Niu Bijian vigilant, if Niu Bijian changed I run Jardine's strategy in another time and space.

   This will bring a lot of trouble to Chu Huan's acquisition!

   "It seems that Shen Bi was forced by himself enough!"

  Chu Huan rubbed his right hand on Tanaka Anhui's smooth back, speaking softly.

  Tanaka Anhui looked up, and asked Chu Huan curiously: "Boss, is there anything bothering you in Xiangjiang?"

   "It's just some small troubles!" Chu Huan shook his head with a smile and said, "Your dual-purpose approach makes me feel that you are very careless!"

  Yasu Tanaka was stunned for a moment, then lowered her head

Hanaoka Qiying walked into the bedroom, saw Tanaka Anhui's movements, she didn't change her expression, crawled to Chu Huan's side, took off her clothes, and said to Chu Huan: "Boss, just now Miss Wu I called and said that I have made an appointment with Mr. Tsutsumi to meet at nine o'clock tomorrow morning!"

  Chu Huan nodded slightly.

   Hanaoka Nanakura and Tanaka Anhui serve Chu Huan together.

  Xiangjiang, Jardine!

   Sitting in his office, Niu Bijian asked Bao Fuda who was opposite.

   "Do you think what Shen Bi said is true or not?"

  Bauford knew what Newbijan was asking, and said softly: "Really, but it's not of much value!"

   Afterwards, Bao Fuda began to explain by himself without Niu Bijian asking.

   "In Xiangjiang, I think it is the same as Chu Huan's fantasy comic club. There is no company that is not interested in Jardine, but the current Chu Huan has this strength."

  Jardines, as the top consortium in Xiangjiang, naturally has countless coveters, but before everyone can only think about this matter in their hearts, they dare not take any action.

   Snakes swallowing whales are not so easy to swallow, and the more likely result is to burst their belly directly.

   "Then do you think it is possible for Chu Huan to acquire Jardine?" Niu Bijian asked Bao Fuda.

Bao Fuda shook his head firmly, and said: "Unless Xiangjiang returns to China, it is absolutely impossible. We will not let him do this, the Keswick family will not let him do this, HSBC will not let him do this, even Hong Kong The government will not allow him to do this!"

   "But Chu Huan is now the richest man in Xiangjiang after all, and he earns so much every year, so we have to guard against it!"

  Newbi preached firmly and earnestly.

  Bao Fuda didn't have any opinion on this point, and said: "Prevention must be on guard. Isn't it that we are guarding against Chu Huan by choosing to stand in the same camp as Shen Bi?"

  Nu Bijian looked at Bao Fuda and asked, "Who do you think will win between Shen Bi and Roy Bentley?"

  Bao Fuda said: "According to the current situation, Shen Bi is 80% sure!"

  Nu Bijian smiled, "So tall?"

   Bao Fuda nodded and said: "Because of Shen Bi's wrong decision before, the outcome between him and Roy Bentley was only 50%, but now it's different.

First of all, since the four major British foreign firms in Xiangjiang chose to stand with him, then this increased Shen Bi's confidence by at least 20%. Secondly, I have been thinking about Sha Ya's attitude. It is true that Sha Ya's attitude towards Shen Bi is not as good as it is now. Before, but Saya is not a fool.

  The reason why he chose to lean towards Roy Bentley at this time was because Chu Huan helped acquire Ocean Milan Bank in North America, which instantly made Shaya one of the most successful executives in the history of HSBC.

  However, Chu Huan made a mistake in the following actions. He handed over the business of Zhulu Commercial Center to Roy Bentley, which basically declared that the interests of the two were integrated.

  Since Sha Ya wants to be one of the most successful taipans in the history of HSBC, he will not allow any mistakes in the strategies he has set.

  If Roy Bentley becomes the new taipan of HSBC, then he will definitely support Chu Huan with all his strength. What will HSBC become at that time?

  Chu Huan's follower?

  Sha Ya would not allow such a thing to happen, so Chu Huan made a mistake in this matter. He should find Sha Ya first, but chose to cooperate with HSBC instead of Roy Bentley.

  At the same time, Shen Bi also has another advantage that Roy Bentley does not have, and that is the relationship with the Hong Kong government.

  HSBC is different from other consortiums. The Hong Kong government will definitely pay close attention to the choice of Taipan. Therefore, Shen Bi, Roy Bentley, whoever has a better relationship with the Hong Kong government will have more possibilities.

  With these two things, Shen Bi's chance of winning can be increased by 10%, so I think Shen Bi has at least 80% chance of winning! "

  Niu Bijian showed a satisfied smile, and said: "Very good, it is the same as my idea."

  Bao Fuda: "."

   Xiangjiang, Taikoo!

  Shi York Shi Huaiya sat on the large and comfortable sofa, and his two sons Shi John and Shi Yadi sat opposite him.

   "What do you two think about Shen Bi? Should we support Shen Bi?"

Both Shen Bi and Niu Bijian believed that since Shen Bi had won the support of three of the four major British foreign firms in Hong Kong, Taikoo would definitely choose to support Shen Bi, but in fact Schwarzwald did not make his own decision.

   "First of all, we have to determine, if we choose to support Shen Bi, what kind of benefits we Taikoo will get, and we also have to judge whether this benefit is enough for us to support him!"

  John Shi preached first.

  Shi Yadi also followed up and said: "Shen Bi's current situation is actually not that bad, it's just that he is in this mountain and doesn't know his true face."

  Shi York first looked at Shi Yadi and asked, "So, do you think we should support Shen Bi?"

  John Shi talked about looking at the benefits first, and Shi Yadi said that Shen Bi's situation is not that bad, and the purpose of it is to wait and see, and one has already made a choice.

  Shi Yadi nodded and said: "I think at this stage Shen Bi is indeed more likely to win."

  Subsequently, Shi Yadi's idea was actually very similar to Bao Fuda's.

John Shi said after listening: "Although what the second brother said has some truth, we can't underestimate Chu Huan's influence in Xiangjiang, although the Hong Kong government will definitely let Shen Bi It is easier to sit in the position of HSBC's top class, but if Roy Bentley, relying on his relationship with Chu Huan, brings huge benefits to HSBC one after another, it is impossible for HSBC's board of directors to Turn a blind eye.

   As for Sha Ya, although his attitude is very important, I think it is impossible for him to come out with something contrary to the opinion of the HSBC board of directors when he finally leaves for the sake of his own reputation.

  More importantly, in the past year and a half, I feel that Sha Ya may seek more opportunities to cooperate with Chu Huan, so in this process, it is hard to guarantee that Sha Ya will not change her mind.

  So now Shen Bi doesn't necessarily have that much confidence! "

  The two brothers Shi John and Shi Yadi insisted on their own opinions, and neither of them convinced the other. In the end, they could only look at Shi York!

   "The two of you have considered things comprehensively, and I am very pleased with that." Shiyock said calmly: "But there are a few things that you still haven't considered."

   John Shi and Yadi Shi looked at Shi York suspiciously, not understanding what their father meant.

   "First of all, it's Qi Dezun from Hehe International!" Shiyock didn't play any tricks with his two sons, but explained to them directly.

"Qi Dezun's recent situation is very strange. His Hehe International can be said to have the closest cooperation with Chu Huan. If Shen Bi only used an 80 million loan, Qi Dezun could turn to Shen Bi's side. I don't believe it. Yes, so when there is no way to determine Qi Dezun's true intentions, it is not suitable for us in Taikoo to express our position.

Secondly, you only considered the situation of the Hong Kong government, but did not consider the situation of Huaguo. The situation in Xiangjiang is very complicated. We cannot simply consider the situation of the Hong Kong government and not the situation of Huaguo. very important thing. "

   When he said the last time, Shiyock's tone became a lot heavier.

  In later generations, the Shihuaiya family once said that their family never touches politics, as long as everything is done in accordance with business rules, there will be no problems.

  But in fact, the Swarias family’s research on politics is far superior to others, otherwise they would not have monopolized Xiangjiang’s aviation industry, and they actively moved closer to China in the 1980s and 1990s.

   But after all, it is only 75 years now, and John Shi still preached somewhat incomprehensibly: "Daddy, the current situation in Huaguo, do we really need to consider their situation?"

  Shi Yadi also didn't understand and asked: "Yes, besides, this is a matter of Xiangjiang, and even if Huaguo has an idea, he can't decide anything, right?"

  Shi Huaiya calmly said: "When doing things, especially big things, you must not only focus on the current situation, but look forward to 50 years later. Only in this way can the company's development continue to prosper.

  The current Huaguo is indeed not something we need to consider, but can you be sure that we don’t need to consider Xiangjiang 50 years from now?

So in my opinion, we have many things to consider in this matter. The first thing we need to determine is what I just said about Qi Dezun's attitude and what kind of relationship he has with Chu Huan. .

  Secondly, we need to determine what kind of benefits Shen Bi can bring us.

  Finally, we need to find out Chu Huan's attitude towards Hua Guo! "

  Since Shi York has already set the tone on this matter, the two brothers Shi John and Shi Yadi stopped arguing, but began to discuss what they can do based on this tone.

John Shi said again immediately: "I know that Mi Gao and Chu Huan have a good relationship, I will meet Mi Gao in the next few days to see if he knows what Chu Huan's attitude is towards Hua Guo! "

  Shi Yadi said: "Then I will contact Shen Bi to see what benefits Shen Bi can provide us."

   After the two brothers finished speaking, Qi Qi looked at Shi York.

  Shi York smiled and said: "I will also make an appointment with Qi Dezun to play golf these two days!"

   After the father and son made up their plans for the next step, they each went about their own affairs.

  Japan, Tokyo, Shibuya, Daikanyama!

  Chu Huan, Zhao Shizeng, Tanaka Yasuhiro, and Hanaoka Nanakura were having breakfast, and Zhao Shizeng's envious eyes turned on Chu Huan, Tanaka Anhui, and Hanaoka Nanakura.

  After the two arrived in Tokyo last night, Zhao Shizeng saw Yasuke Tanaka and Nanakura Hanaoka, and directly said that they are good guys, A Huan, you are hiding in the golden house in Tokyo!

   Still such beautiful two girls?

  Chu Huan did not explain the identities of the two of them to Zhao Shizeng.

However, last night, Hanaoka Qiying also introduced the two oirans of the clubhouse to Zhao Shizeng, which made Zhao Shizeng feel a little more balanced, but also guessed some of the relationship between Chu Huan and these two people. The relationship between the cannon and the fort!

   "I'm going to see Tsutsumi Yoshiaki in a while, should you go to the company to discuss with Wu Xiaoshi about Huahai Real Estate, or should you rest at home?"

   Chu Huan asked Zhao Shizeng while eating breakfast.

  The cooperation with Tsui Yoshiming does not include Zhao Shizeng and others, so Chu Huan has no plan to take Zhao Shizeng to meet Di Yoshiming.

  Zhao Shi once said: "I'd better go to Miss Wu's side first."

  Although Zhao Shizeng is well known in later generations because of his status as a playboy, Zhao Shizeng's ability must not be denied because of this.

  Without a huge property, Zhao Shizeng has no way to support the title of a palace-level playboy!

  Chu Huan nodded, and said: "I have asked Tanaka to make an appointment with Nozaki Kosuke, and he will take you to experience Tokyo's nightlife tonight!"

  Zhao Shizeng asked Chu Huan curiously: "Aren't you together tonight?"

  Chu Huan shook his head: "There is a dance over there by Yoshiaki Tsutsumi, I need to attend!"

   Today is different from the past!

  If Chu Huan was just a top rich man in Xiangjiang last time when he came to Japan, then his identity has changed this time. Chu Huan is now the richest man in Xiangjiang and the richest Chinese in the world!

  The treatment Yoshiaki Tsutsumi gave was naturally different.

  So when Yoshiaki Tsutsumi called last night, he had indicated that he would hold a grand party at home to receive Chu Huan tonight.

  After Chu Huan learned about it from Hanaoka Nanakura last night, he didn't call to refuse it again, so naturally he will participate tonight!

  After Zhao Shizeng listened to it, he could only say that this was the only way tonight.

   After breakfast, Chu Huan left the manor directly and drove to Seibu Group.

  Tsutsu Yoshiaki's secretary, Tosaki Eko, was already waiting for Chu Huan in the lobby.

   "Hello, Mr. Chu, our chairman has been waiting for you in the office for a long time!"

  After seeing Chu Huan, Dong Zuozhi bowed.

   "Thank you, Miss Zhizi." Chu Huan said with a smile.

  Tozuo Zhizi hurriedly said: "Mr. Chu is too polite, you can just call me Zhizi!"

   Then Chu Huan came to Tsutsumi Yoshiaki's office under the leadership of Tosa Eko.

  Ti Yiming, who was lowering his head to deal with the work, heard the voice, raised his head, then got up and walked to Chu Huan's side, and offered his hand.

   "Haha, Chu Sang, when I saw the report, you really surprised me!"

  Chu Huan said with a smile: "Mr. Diyi is too exaggerated. It's fine to talk about this kind of thing in magazines. How come you believe it!"

  Tsutsu Yoshiaki invited Chu Huan to the sofa, and said with a smile: "This is not just talk, this is Japan. I don't think anyone should know more about manga and peripherals than us Japanese, right?"

  Chu Huan no longer entangled with this matter when he heard Tsui Yoshiming say this.

   "Mr. Tsutsumi, I think let's talk about the company first!"

   Tsutsumi Yoshiaki nodded and said: "This is what it should be. I have selected a few good properties here. Chu Sang can take them back and discuss with the staff of his company!"

   "It's our company's staff!" Chu Huan corrected.

   Tsutsumi Yoshiaki was taken aback for a moment, and then laughed loudly: "Haha, that's right, they are our company's staff!"

   "Mr. Tsutsumi, the funds have been deposited into the company's account, I think you should already know, now let's finish the last thing!"

  The last time Chu Huan came to Japan, he only signed a contract of intent with Tsutsumi Yoshiaki. Now that his own funds are in place, the next step is to sign a formal contract.

To be honest, at the beginning, Yoshiaki Tsutsumi regretted it a bit. Although he predicted that the stock price of Seibu Group would skyrocket according to his decision, he did not expect it to rise so horribly. Now the distance between himself and Chu The stock price of Seibu Group has tripled when Huan agreed.

   That is to say, the 40 million US dollars prepared by Chu Huan has just arrived in Haiyun Real Estate's account at this time, and it has already earned back its capital!

  But now that Chu Huan's net worth has been revealed, Tsutsumi no longer feels regretful.

  Although he did not want to see 50 years later like the Swire family, Yoshiaki Tsutsumi also has his own ideas.

  According to Chu Huan's current financial resources, as long as he maintains a steady pace of progress, Chu Huan's influence will definitely go out of Asia in the future.

  If one of my business partners has such a person, it is a good thing for myself and Seibu Group.

   More importantly, Chu Huan has no direct conflict of interest with him.

  Although Chu Huan is rich, the two parties have no direct business competition relationship, which shows that the cooperative relationship between the two can last for a long time.

   After thinking about all this, Yoshiaki Tsutsumi naturally readily agreed to Chu Huan.

   "Haha, before Chu Sang came, I had someone prepare the contract. Now Chu Sang can sign it after reading it!"

  At this time, Dong Zuozhizi had already placed the contract in duplicate in front of Chu Huan.

  Qin Peng handed over the equity distribution contract of Haiyun Real Estate to Di Yiming.

  Chu Huan signaled to Wu Xiaoshi that the translator Wu Xiaoshi had sent for him was to translate the contents of the contract.

  After knowing the contents of the contract clearly, Chu Huan happily signed his name.

  Of course, at this time Tsume Yoshiming had also read the share distribution document Chu Huan gave him, and signed his name.

Since then, Chu Huan has held 1.78% of the shares of Seibu Group, of which 1.2% of Seibu Group's shares were obtained by Chu Huan through the exchange of 40% of Haiyun Real Estate shares with Tsutsumi Yoshiaki, and the other 0.58% of Seibu Group Chu Huan told Nomura Securities to buy the shares in the stock market, and it cost 100 million Hong Kong dollars!

   After signing the contract, the funds have doubled!

   "Haha, Chu Sang, from now on, we are official partners!"

   Tsutsumi Yoshiaki shook hands with Chu Huan.

  Chu Huan said with a smile: "I have to trouble Mr. Tsutsumi to take care of things in Tokyo!"

   Tsutsumi Yoshiaki smiled and said, "This is what it should be!"

  After the two talked about this matter, Yoshiaki Tsutsumi invited Chu Huan to visit the resort they were developing by Seibu Group.

  Chu Huan naturally has no opinion on this!

   Two people ride in the same car, with their respective bodyguards following behind.

  In the car, Tsutsumi Yoshiaki said to Chu Huan: "Chu Sang, do you have any other investment ideas in Japan?"

Yes, but I can't take you to play together. Chu Huan shook his head with a smile and said: "Mr. Diyi, I think you also know that I will start construction of the Zhulu Commercial Center in Xiangjiang in more than a month, and it will definitely be a fortune by then." It's a huge expenditure, so in a short time, I won't have any more investment in Japan!"

"I have also heard about the matter of Zhulu Commercial Center, the investment of tens of billions of Hong Kong dollars, I have to say, Chu Sang, your generosity is really too big, if you have any needs, you can tell me, our Seibu The group very much hopes to help its friends!"

   I'm afraid you want to participate in it?

Chu Huan did not agree to the joining of other real estate companies in Xiangjiang, and now it is naturally impossible to agree to the joining of Tsutsumi, so he said with a smile: "Fortunately, although there are some small troubles, they have been resolved, and there is no need for other companies for the time being. s help."

   Tsutsumi Yoshiaki showed a disappointed expression. He really hoped to be able to participate, but not so strongly, since Chu Huan made his attitude clear.

   Tsutsumi Yoshiaki stopped mentioning it.

  Then the two came to the resort developed by Seibu Group and stayed for a whole day before they returned to Tsutsumi's villa together to attend the party Yoshiaki Tsutsumi had prepared for Chu Huan!

   Didn’t sleep all night, the next chapter should be in the afternoon, I’ll take a nap first~~Wake up and continue coding~~
