Chapter 446 The top palace and the acquisition of Wheelock plan (7K chapter, please subscribe~)

   While the whole of Hong Kong was concerned about Chu Huan and Cao Yunshang's wedding next month, Xiangjiang's "Oriental Daily" suddenly broke out a piece of gossip news.

  Lixing Watch Prince Zhuang Qishen divorced Chu Duanjing, the daughter of Yuan Jiahu Textile Chu's parents!

  Not only did they get divorced, Zhuang Qishen announced in a high-profile manner that he would marry Ling Minjia, Li's popular TV actress, on the third day after their divorce.

  The marriage of a wealthy family is big news, and the divorce of a wealthy family is also big news, but today's report is different, because Chu Duanjing's stupidity is out of the sky.

   Divorced with Zhuang Qishen for nothing, and just left the house like this. Even in an interview, Zhuang Qishen even secretly revealed that Chu Duanjing was unfaithful in her marriage.

   This incident caused an uproar in Xiangjiang instantly, and Chu Duanjing became Xiangjiang's biggest joke, an unfaithful and extremely stupid woman!

  This kind of social and gossip news instantly became a topic of discussion in the streets of Xiangjiang.

  Chu Duan Jinghuo is out of the circle!

   "It's not like this, it's not like this!" Chu Duanjing squatted in the living room of Chu Duanqing's villa in Repulse Bay with disheveled hair and a wailing expression. On the coffee table next to her was the newspaper from "Oriental Daily" this morning.

"Little sister, listen to me, it's not like this. That **** Zhuang Qishen didn't tell me that. He said that as long as I divorced him, Ah Huan would forgive me if he saw how miserable I was. Fuck me, now this **** really wants to divorce me!

   Not only did you divorce me, but you didn’t even leave me a dime! "

  Seeing the newspaper this morning, Chu Duanjing almost went crazy.

  Chu Duanqing heard Chu Duanjing confide the truth about the whole matter, and she was completely sober in her heart. Yesterday she found out about Chu Duanjing's divorce for her, and hurriedly asked Chu Huan to forgive her. As a result, such a thing happened today.

  Thinking of this, Chu Duanqing did not hesitate anymore, took out the stack of documents that Chu Huan handed over to him yesterday afternoon, and handed it to Chu Duanjing to preach.

   "Take a look, I hope the things here can help you!"

  A clear voice, indifferent and indifferent!

  Chu Duanjing didn't hear the change in Chu Duanqing's tone at all, but looked at the kraft paper bag on the table in surprise, and asked, "What's in it?"

  Chu Duanqing said: "You will know it when you see it!"

   After finishing speaking, Chu Duanqing left the living room.

  Chu Duanjing opened the brown paper bag, and found that it was full of photos of Zhuang Qishen and Ling Minjia dating privately together, as well as some evidence of Zhuang Qishen's transfer of assets.

   "He's been lying to me all this time!"

  Chu Duanjing looked at everything in front of her in disbelief. For a moment, she felt as if she was facing an abyss.

Chu Duanqing walked back again, holding a check in his hand, handed it to Chu Duanjing and said: "Here is 200,000, it's the last bit of love for my sister for so long, take it Whether you want to sue Zhuang Qishen for this money, or do what you do by yourself is up to you, and I hope you won't disturb our lives in the future."

  Chu Duanjing was stunned. He just found out that he was really abandoned by his husband, and now his sister doesn't care about him?

  She never thought that she was the one who chose to give up this sister first.

  Never thought that it would be a rare thing for Chu Duanqing to give her 200,000 Hong Kong dollars at this time.

  But Chu Duanjing knew that she absolutely couldn't lose Chu Duanqing at this time, otherwise she would really be helpless for the rest of her life.

   But no matter how much she begged later, Chu Duanqing never forgave her again. Chu Duanqing was hurt by Chu Duanjing's behavior this time, and wanted to divorce her nephew in order to cheat her?

   Still want to cheat my sympathy!

  She was really fed up with this kind of family deception.

  So in the end, Chu Duanqing asked the family servants to invite her out, and informed the family servants that this person would not be allowed to come in in the future.

   In a few days!

   "Chu Duanjing actually sued Zhuang Qishen?"

  In the villa in Repulse Bay, Cao Yunshang looked at the evening paper in his hand, and curiously preached to Chu Huan.

"Although the dealer's business has not been easy in the past two years, Zhuang Qishen has a net worth of 10 to 20 million. Now Chu Duanjing has not received a penny, 200,000 Hong Kong dollars. For those who are used to enjoying For her, it must not be enough!

   Give it a try, maybe the bike will become a motorcycle! "

Chu Huan smiled easily, but Chu Huan also knew that it was not so easy for Chu Duanjing to win. Zhuang Qishen did it without telling his father about the property transfer. As for the internal problems of their dealer, Chu Huan was Not interested in investigating.

   But no matter what, Zhuang Qishen still has a part of Lixing Watch's shares in his hands, and the old man will not let these shares fall into the hands of outsiders.

  But because of the evidence she provided, it can only be said that Chu Duanjing's lawsuit this time is half-and-half!

  Cao Yunshang hugged Chu Huan's arm, and asked Chu Huan curiously: "How did you know about Zhuang Qishen, and you also have evidence of Zhuang Qishen's derailment and transfer of assets."

Chu Huan said: "It's thanks to Azu and the others. At the beginning, I knew that Chu Duanjing would not be willing to let it go like this, so in order to prevent my sister-in-law from being cheated by her again, I asked Azu to arrange some people Staring at the couple, I didn't expect to know these things about Zhuang Qishen by accident."

  Cao Yunshang nodded, and said: "So that's the case, then you asked my sister to hand over these materials to her, just to watch them compete with each other, and then don't have time to trouble my sister?"

  Chu Huan said: "It's like this, my sister-in-law has shallow ears. If I don't let my sister-in-law really see clearly what Chu Duanjing is like, she will be deceived by Chu Duanjing if she is not sure."

   "But sister-in-law still gave Chu Duanjing 200,000 Hong Kong dollars!" Cao Yunshang reminded.

  Chu Huan chuckled, and said: "200,000 to buy a clean, this is the 200,000 that my aunt took when she left the Chu family, and now the two sides are clear!"

  Early the next morning, Chu Huan and Cao Yunshang went out in the same car.

  However, I didn’t go to the Chinatown, but took a car to Mount Kellett Road in Victoria Peak.

  The nearly three-meter-high wrought iron gate, when the gate is closed, a big "Chu" character is formed by two gates.

When Chu Huan and Cao Yunshang drove into the gate, there were lush green trees on both sides. After driving for a while, you can see a milky white wall in the middle of the manor, which presents an irregular style as a whole, concave, It has not only the subtlety of Thai style, but also the huge luxury of Europe.

   In the middle is an open-air swimming pool. There is an intersection of underground garages under the buildings on both sides. In addition, to the east of the main building is a western-style building for servants and drivers.

   Integrate with the style here.

"How about it?"

  Cao Yunshang stood beside the open-air swimming pool, proudly pointing to the main building to Chu Huan, and then preached with some complaints.

   "You are also very big-hearted. Since the construction started here, you have only been here twice, and you haven't been here once after the renovation. Now it's the first time I saw it. How did you feel at first glance?"

  Chu Huan stood with his hands behind his back, looked around, and said with a smile: "I have no objection, as long as you like it!"

   "That won't work, this will be the residence of the two of us from now on, you can do whatever you like!"

   Cao Yunshang preached seriously.

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

  After getting Chu Huan's approval, Cao Yunshang immediately showed a satisfied smile, "Come on, I'll take you to visit inside!"

   After talking, he led Chu Huan into the main building.

  The entire main building has three upper floors and two underground floors.

The construction area of ​​the entire villa reaches 98,000 square feet. The first feeling after entering the main building is the luxury and grandeur here. There are two front and rear doors, allowing the owner to see the scenery of the top of the mountain no matter which direction they are in. There is a conference hall on the first floor , the reception room, and the super luxurious study room of Chu Huan and Cao Yunshang.

  In addition, there is an art gallery on the first floor, which Cao Yunshang prepared for himself, and it is already full of various artworks Cao Yunshang returned from auctions in Europe during this period of time.

At the same time, there is a super-large library on the first floor, which was requested by Chu Huan. There are various books in different categories, including business management, analysis of various industries, and various novels. Comics, everything.

   There is no need to say more about kitchens, restaurants and the like.

   At the same time, there are various art decorations here.

   After the two finished shopping on the first floor, Cao Yunshang took Chu Huan's hand to the second floor of the villa.

  There are more bedrooms and various cloakrooms here.

  The third floor is the new entertainment area.

   After visiting the upper three floors, it is downstairs. On the first floor, there are indoor heated swimming pools, basketball courts, spa lounges, temperature-controlled wine cellars, ultra-luxury audio-visual halls, etc.

   There is a large parking lot on the second floor, and there is also a four-lane bowling alley

   "Can we come back at another time, I can't stand it!"

  Chu Huan sat on the stairs without any image, panting heavily and looking at Cao Yunshang beside him who was still in high spirits.

   "Anyway, we're going to live here in the future, so we really don't need to go shopping all at once!"

Cao Yunshang immediately shook his head and said: "Where is this? You didn't even look at the antique room with constant temperature, the fitness area, and the office area that you asked to build. By the way, you didn't even look at the zoo behind. Let me tell you, I've already bought the brown bear you mentioned earlier, and I'm just waiting for you to see it!"

  In fact, this place can no longer be described as a villa or a manor, and it can be measured by the standard of a palace.

   It is not illegal to raise bears in Xiangjiang, but it depends on the species of bear. In addition, Cao Yunshang also ordered some ornamental animals, such as white peacocks and swans.

  Simply speaking, in this manor, there are more than two hundred servants, bodyguards, and various flower farmers, animal breeders and other employees!

   "It can't be done, I can't go shopping anymore, whoever wants to go shopping, it's not easy to say anything today!"

  Chu Huan sat there, took a look, found the freezer not far away, walked over to it, took out a can of iced Coke and took a sip.

   Cao Yunshang saw that Chu Huan really didn't want to move anymore, so he sat here with Chu Huan, and asked Chu Huan curiously.

   "Since when did you like collecting antiques?"

  When the manor was being built, Chu Huan didn't have too many requirements, except for the library, Cao Yunshang asked Cao Yunshang to build a constant temperature building for storing antiques.

  That's why Cao Yunshang was a little curious at this time.

Chu Huan put the Coke aside, and said with a smile: "It's definitely not counted as liking, but I just think that the good things left by the ancestors don't need to be bought by those ghosts and Japanese guys, it's better to keep them. Better in our own hands!"

  Cao Yunshang picked up Chu Huan’s can of Coke on the ground and took a sip, and then asked: “But you built such a big antique building, and there are not so many antiques here in Xiangjiang for you to collect?”

  Chu Huan chuckled, turned around and pointed to the north, and said, "There is no Xiangjiang, but there is one in my hometown. In another year, I should be able to leave!"

   This year is 76 years, and next year will be 77 years. At that time, Chu Huan will definitely go back to his hometown, but this time he will not go back for business investment, but to go back to explore the road.

Many people in later generations said that in the early days of reform and opening up, foreign businessmen were always very arrogant in their hometown, but that was only in the local area. In fact, at Chu Huan’s stage, what he looked at was no longer a place, but the whole The market in his hometown, so it is not those local officials that Chu Huan needs to deal with. Naturally, people from the company are in charge of these people.

   What Chu Huan needs to pay attention to is those adults who really hold the lifeblood of the development of his hometown. In fact, his hometown is also screened for this level of investment.

  So Chu Huan had to establish a good image of himself right away.

   As for antiques?

  In the initial stage, in order to earn more foreign exchange, antiques were a very good business means to generate foreign exchange. At that time, the private antique transactions in my hometown and the antique transactions in the Friendship Store were basically ghosts.

  What Chu Huan has to do is to keep more antiques in the hands of these people.

   Such behavior is not patriotic, and it is not that Chu Huan wants to wait for these antiques to appreciate in value, it is just because Chu Huan has money in his hands!

   Having money means you can be so willful!

  Cao Yunshang said: "I don't know why, but I always feel that you seem to be full of confidence in the future development of your hometown!"

  Chu Huan laughed and said, "When did my eyes miss you?"

  Cao Yunshang shook his head and said sweetly: "No!"

   After resting, Chu Huan got up at this time, grabbed Cao Yunshang, and said with a smile: "I have seen the big bed in the master bedroom just now, and I am very satisfied. Now I am going to study how its quality is!"

   There is still more than a month before Chu Huan gets married, and Xu Yi, Wu Shuhan, Zhou Meiqi, Chu Duanqing and others are responsible for various matters, so naturally there is no need for Chu Huan to do anything.

  So Chu Huan still has to deal with his own affairs now.

  For Chu Huan in 1976, there were four things he hoped to accomplish.

  The first thing is naturally the wedding with Cao Yunshang. This matter is basically a certainty, unless it encounters natural irresistible elements, such as Chu Huan's sudden rebirth.

  The second acquisition of Wheelock, in 1976, Wheelock's financial report for last year finally came out.

  Wheelock made a profit of only 29 million Hong Kong dollars last year if the investment in Hefu to acquire Qingzhou Yingni was not counted!

   In 1974, Wheelock's profit was still 69 million, while in 1973 it was 180 million Hong Kong dollars.

   Year after year of losses, John Madden has begun to put a big question mark on Wheelock's prospects.

  In another time and space, John Madden approached Jardine this year to discuss the sale of his shares in Wheelock.

  However, this matter was eventually stopped by Hehe International controlled by HSBC.

  This is how the acquisition of Wheelock by Breadship King happened.

  Now Hehe International is not moving forward according to the development of another time and space, but with the support of Chu Huan behind the scenes, Hehe International has come out of the predicament, and it is up to each individual to decide who will win Wheelock!

  The third thing is not Xiangjiang’s, but Japan’s acquisition of the Yomiuri Shimbun.

  The fourth thing is to acquire a bank in North America, mainly to avoid the possibility of being monitored by HSBC in Xiangjiang.

  The matter of getting married has been going on in an orderly manner. Chu Huan doesn't need to worry too much, so today Chu Huan made an appointment with Qi Dezun!

  Five Sacred Mountains Club!

   "Aren't you busy with your wedding at this time, Ah Huan? Why do you still have time to invite me to drink?"

   After Qi Dezun saw Chu Huan, he was overjoyed and joked with Chu Huan.

During this period of time, Qi Dezun had reason to be happy. Last year, Hehe International was almost bankrupt and liquidated. As a result, this year Hehe International made a profit. Of course, this profit was because Hehe International sold Dehuibao Foreign Bank, Taihe Foreign Company, Qichang Foreign Company, and Watsons in succession. here.

  However, after these few months, Hehe International has completed most of the group's slimming tasks, and some of the management of the company have been cleaned up.

  In addition, not only sold a small half of the companies that hindered the development of the group, but also sold some projects with long construction period and slow return of funds.

  After this series of operations, Hehe International made a total of abnormal profits of more than 300 million Hong Kong dollars last year, reversing the dilemma of Hehe International's lack of liquidity in one fell swoop.

   And all of this was attributed to Qi Dezun by the Xiangjiang media who didn't know the truth.

  So Qi Dezun's prestige in the Xiangjiang business circle rose again, and he was called the company doctor.

Of course, the prestige of Jiaku Consulting Company, which cooperated with Qi Dezun to complete this series of plans, has also been improved. If it weren't for the fact that Jiaku is Chu Huan's private company, and Chu Huan has so many companies in Xiangjiang, I am afraid that at this time it will Many companies have invited Jiaku to plan and reform their companies.

   "You can't delay work even if you get married." Chu Huan said with a relaxed smile.

Qi Dezun was a little excited. Since the acquisition of Qingzhou Yingni last year, Chu Huan seemed to have disappeared in the Xiangjiang business circle. He didn't do anything too surprising. Hearing what Chu Huan said at this time, Qi Dezun immediately felt that Chu Huan There must be another big move.

  Although the wolf smoke game is already very popular overseas, but in Xiangjiang, not many people know about it.

   "A Huan, you are about to get married, don't you want to make a big noise before you get married?"

  Chu Huan smiled, and said: "There must be some big moves, but I don't think it will be possible to complete them before marriage, but the preparatory work requires the help of Mr. Daban!"

  I knew it, I knew Chu Huan must have other moves.

   "Ah Huan, tell me, before I came to see you today, I was already mentally prepared. You must have something important to talk about when you invited me here. Don't worry, I can hold on!"

  Qi Dezun also wanted to see how big the move that Chu Huan could call a big move was at this time.

Chu Huan said with a smile: "I have received news that since the beginning of this year, Zhang Yuliang's family has been selling Wheelock's shares in exchange for huge amounts of cash, which has also caused them to lose their status as the largest shareholder of Wheelock, so I I hope Hehe International can come forward and buy Wheelock shares in the market!"

  After entering 1976, Xiangjiang’s stock market began to recover ahead of schedule due to the Battle of Yingni in Qingzhou last year. Unlike the calm in the first half of 1976 in another time and space, it can be said that the appearance of Chu Huan once again changed the direction of Xiangjiang’s stock market.

  This also led some businessmen to take this opportunity to sell some of their stocks in order to obtain cash.

   And Zhang Yuliang did just that.

This is also different from another time and space. In another time and space, Zhang Yuliang sold the shares of Wheelock with a large amount of money. There were two times. The first time was at the end of this year. When entering the early 1980s.

  Although there have been two sell-offs, it still does not prevent Zhang Yuliang from being the major shareholder of Wheelock.

Now that Zhang Yuliang sold some of Wheelock's shares in advance, it was actually because of Chu Huan. Although after the battle in Qingzhou Yingni, Chu Huan got the shares of Qingzhou Yingni in Zhang Yuliang's hands, it seemed that the two parties had nothing to do with each other. Huan also stopped talking about his family's affairs, but Zhang Yuliang still regarded this as a hidden danger, so he sold some of Wheelock's shares in advance, and then chose overseas investment.

   This ensures that if something really happens to Xiangjiang, it will be very difficult to investigate Zhang Yuliang's overseas assets.

  Although Zhang Yuliang is a low-key person, Hehe International is one of the major shareholders of Wheelock after all, so he naturally knows about Zhang Yuliang.

  So at this time Qi Dezun knew that Zhang Yuliang had sold Wheelock's stock, he was not surprised at all, what really surprised Qi Dezun was

  Chu Huan is actually interested in Wheelock!

  Chu Huan never told Qi Dezun about this matter.

When Chu Huan acquired Hehe International before, Qi Dezun thought at the beginning that Chu Huan did not want to be targeted prematurely for acquiring Hehe International, one of the four major foreign firms in Xiangjiang. With Hehe International to do some acquisitions.

  But what Qi Dezun didn't expect was that Chu Huan was actually interested in Wheelock!

   Got it, got it all!

  If it is revealed that Chu Huan first acquired Hehe International and then Wheelock, it will definitely stimulate the sensitive nerves of the Hong Kong government and Yinglun. At that time, Chu Huan will really face the pressure of the Hong Kong government.

  Now with Hehe International as a buffer point, there is no such trouble!

   "A Huan, you played a big game of chess?"

   But even if he figured it out, Qi Dezun was still surprised.

  Chu Huan said with a smile: "Since Mr. Taipan has already thought of it, then I will not hide it. Next, I hope that Hehe International can secretly acquire the shares of Wheelock."

Qi Dezun said worriedly: "Now the three major shareholders of Wheelock, John Madden, Zhang Yuliang, and Hehe International, respectively hold 15.85%, 34.87%, and 29.18% of the shares of Wheelock, plus 10% in the hands of other shareholders. 10% of Wheelock's shares are in circulation outside. Even if Hehe International buys them all, it is at most only the largest single shareholder.

  If John Madden wants to keep Wheelock’s management rights, he will definitely join forces with Zhang Yuliang, and our shares will still not be as large as theirs.

More importantly, if Hehe International really buys up Wheelock's shares in the stock market, I believe it won't take long for someone to find out about this in the stock market. By then, let alone 10%, it may be 5% in a row. % is not enough. "

   Regarding Qi Dezun's worries, Chu Huan was very relaxed.

"Mr. Taipan, you have been in contact with John Madden longer than I do. You should understand this man very well. Wheelock's profit last year was only 29 million Hong Kong dollars. This is not counting their expenses for investing in Qingzhou Yingni. John Madden can Without your unyielding character, seeing that Wheelock's interests are getting worse year by year, I think John Madden must have something in his heart."

  Qi Dezun was stunned for a moment, and asked, "You mean John Madden might sell Wheelock?"

  Chu Huan asked rhetorically, "Mr. Taipan doesn't think there is such a possibility?"

Qi Dezun thought for a while, and finally nodded and said: "There is indeed such a possibility. I met John Madden once in the next year. During the conversation with him, I could see that he was pessimistic about Xiangjiang's prospects. The ups and downs of the shipping industry in the past two years have made him feel physically and mentally exhausted. If this continues, I may indeed sell my shares in Wheelock!"

"So, you can take your time to buy Wheelock shares. Fengwu Securities will help you with this matter. I believe that Mr. Taipan should be experienced in this matter, and you personally The important thing is to listen to John Madden, if he really intends to sell Wheelock, I hope Hehe International will be his first choice!"

  Seeing that Qi Dezun was still hesitant, Chu Huan understood that Qi Dezun was considering his friendship with John Madden. After all, he bought Hutchison from the hands of the Madden family.

So Chu Huan increased his stakes and said: "Mr. Taipan, think about it, as the four major foreign firms in Xiangjiang, you first led Hutchison International out of the quagmire, and now you have acquired Wheelock. At that time, Hutchison International will be able to compete with Yi In that case, your name will surely remain in the commercial history of Xiangjiang.”

  Qi Dezun's eyes suddenly lit up. No one can ignore this honor of being able to leave a name in history.

   But he still has some concerns.

"Well, I will do this matter according to your request, A Huan, but the acquisition of Wheelock is not an easy matter. At that time, this matter will definitely be discussed at the board of directors of Hehe International. Isn't this matter made public?

  I think neither HSBC nor Jardine would like to see this happen, and they will compete with Jardine at that time. "

Chu Huan said with a smile: "Don't worry about this, you can let Fengwu Securities do it in your own name first, and you, Mr. Taiban, are responsible for conquering John Madden. After it is possible, you can bring this matter to the board of directors of Hehe International for discussion, and then I will fully support you.

   In this way, the time for HSBC and Jardine to know about it can be shortened, and we have also seized the opportunity! "

  Qi Dezun thought for a while, and finally agreed with Chu Huan's plan, and said: "I understand, leave this matter to me!"

   After Qi Dezun finished speaking, he wanted to get up and leave, but was stopped by Chu Huan.

   "Mr. Taipan, don't be in a hurry. Apart from acquiring Wheelock, Hehe International has another important thing to do!"

   Continue to code words~~
