Chapter 467 Reputation crisis (7K chapter, please subscribe~)

   "Mr. Chu, come to Haojiang when you have time, let's have a good chat!"

   While Jay Sarno was considering Chu Huan's suggestion, Ye Han chatted with Chu Huan, but he didn't talk about the wolf smoke game.

Ye Han is different from Jay Sarno, he has never investigated the Wolf Smoke game at all, and he has no personal interest in this industry. At this time, Ye Han only has one thing in his heart, and that is to make himself bigger in Haojiang. horse racing meeting.

   This project was won by him in the competition with He Hongshen, so Ye Han naturally hopes to succeed in this matter, and then give He Hongshen a good face.

  But this does not prevent Ye Han from inviting Chu Huan to Haojiang, because Ye Han wants Chu Huan's support too much.

At this time, in Xiangjiang, in terms of personal influence alone, no one can compare to Chu Huan, let alone now Ye Han learned that Chu Huan had founded another money-absorbing company during the chat between Jay Sarno and Chu Huan. Monsters Inc.

   This further strengthened Ye Han's thoughts.

  However, because Chu Huan had implicitly rejected Ye Han's invitation before, Ye Han just invited Chu Huan to Haojiang for a sit-down at this time, hoping to convince Chu Huan by then.

  Only shareholding, no management!

Although Chu Huan has no intention of gambling business, it is not good to reject Ye Han directly, jokingly said: "Okay, but when the time comes, Ye Weng, you have to show your hand again and win the money I lost with Jay before." return!"

Ye Han smiled awkwardly. In the casino at Caesars Palace, he was carrying the title of Haojiang Gambling King and planned to let Chu Huan win a few hands with him, but in the end Chu Huan lost $100,000. It's almost his own black history.

   "Actually, Mr. Chu, if you had played with me yesterday, you would have won back the money you lost."

In the casino that day, Ye Han was playing for 32 hours, but the title of gambling king obviously did not bring him much help. During these 32 hours, Ye Han lost more than 2 million US dollars .

   "Ye Weng, I'm really curious. At that time, did you end up feeling unwell? Or did you choose a temporary truce because you felt that your luck was really bad?"

  Chu Huan also knew about Ye Han's situation that day, so he asked now out of curiosity.

Ye Han smiled and said: "Naturally, it is because I understand that my luck is not good. For things like spinach, seven points are doomed, three points depend on hard work, and luck is greater than the sky. how is it?"

  Chu Huan continued to ask: "Then how do you feel that you will be lucky in the future?"

After ending his 32-hour long gambling game, Ye Han returned to his suite and slept for 12 hours. When he woke up, he found something stuck to his back. He put a plaster on it, but it didn't look like it. When he peeled it off, it turned out to be the chocolate candy that the hotel waiter put beside the pillow, which had been crushed into a paste long ago.

  Ye Han suddenly felt that this was not a good omen, so he returned to his home in Las Vegas. As the world-renowned gambling king of Haojiang, Ye Han also has his own residence in Las Vegas.

  Slept fast at home for two days, and returned to the "Caesars Palace" after fully recovering.

   As a result, they hit the ground running, got back their money, and won more than one million dollars, breaking the record of Caesars Palace.

Jay Sarno even gave Yehan a Rolls-Royce luxury car as a gift in order to publicize this matter so as to enhance the credibility of their casino. This matter has already made some gossip in North America and the world today The headlines in the newspapers caused a momentary sensation.

  That's why Ye Han told Chu Huan that if he continued with him yesterday, he would be able to win back the money he lost before.

  Ye Han said proudly: "This is a natural instinct, and after years of wandering in casinos, I finally have some experience."

  But Chu Huan still gave Ye Han a thumbs up.

   "Ye Weng, is that Rolls-Royce still comfortable? If not, I'll ask the hotel staff to replace it for you?"

   Jay Sarno suddenly spoke at this time.

   Obviously at this time he has already considered the end.

Ye Han's net worth naturally doesn't care about a Rolls-Royce, but this kind of thing has always been regarded by Ye Han as his honor in the world of gambling, so it doesn't matter whether the car is comfortable or not, the important thing is I won it at Caesars Palace.

  In the second half of Ye Han's life, there were only two things. The first was to make He Hongshen feel uncomfortable, and the second was to hang out in major casinos around the world. No matter which casino he was in, Ye Han was a top VIP.

   "Jay, do you want to understand Chairman Chu's suggestion?" Ye Han naturally would not choose to change cars.

   Jay Sarno nodded and looked at Chu Huan, and said, "Chu, I accept your suggestion. How about we discuss this matter in detail some time?"

  Chu Huan said to Jay Sarno: "Okay, but you can tell Mr. Bao about this matter. At that time, my library will verify all the details of the cooperation!"

  Although the North American League pool has been established, there is no action yet, so Jay Sarno doesn’t know much about the North American League pool, but this does not prevent him from accepting Chu Huan’s suggestion. Anyway, it was Chu Huan himself who made the final decision.

   "Yes!" Jay Sarno said with a smile, and then looked at Bao Tianming: "Mr. Bao, let's keep in touch from now on!"

  Bao Tianming also smiled and said, "Okay!"

  After finalizing this cooperation, the banquet tonight is considered to be over.

   "Be careful when working with Jay Sarno!"

  After returning to the room, Chu Huan brought Bao Tianming to his study, and told him about co-founding a chain of arcade game halls.

   "Although the two parties are in a cooperative relationship, we must remember that during the transaction, we pay for the goods and deliver the goods. There must be no delay in payment!"

   "Are you worried that they will get in the way?" Bao Tianming understood what Chu Huan meant.

Chu Huan nodded and said, "This is their territory after all, and they are cooperating with Jay Sarno and North American associations. Ordinary business rules don't necessarily work here, so I didn't agree to use arcade machines to buy shares just now." things."

  Bao Tianming asked: "Then shall we send someone to join the company's management to keep an eye on it?"

Chu Huan nodded and said: "This must be necessary. According to my estimation, at the initial stage, they will definitely not do such stupid things, but after they see the huge profits, it is difficult to guarantee them Will not forget righteousness for profit.

  So you must pay close attention to the financial aspect. Although they will definitely do some tricks, as long as the food is not too ugly, it is acceptable. "

Bao Tianming also knows that this is inevitable. If this chain of arcade game halls is really successful in the end, it will become like Brother Audiovisual in the electronic product and video market, and it will control the largest North American market for arcade machines. The company did not join Wolf Smoke Games.

  In the future, such a company will inevitably bring unimaginable problems to Wolf Smoke Games.

  So Bao Tianming nodded and said: "I know how to do it!"

  After talking about this matter, Bao Tianming said to Chu Huan worriedly: "If you want to cooperate with this Jay Sarno, you must spend part of the funds, so do you have enough cash here?"

Bao Tianming did not go to New York with Chu Huan because he wanted to raise funds for Chu Huan in Xiangjiang to deal with the matter of Hyundai Group and Ford Motor, and now he has to cooperate with Jay Sarno to chain arcade game halls, which will definitely take away A large portion of cash.

Chu Huan said with a smile: "This acquisition is more of a deterrent, rather than really getting the control of Ford Motor, so there will be no big problem, and if you don't have enough funds, you can borrow from the bank. Don't worry. Forget, I am now preparing to acquire a North American bank."

   "The key is that this matter is so urgent now, KKR's acquisition must not keep up with your pace!" Bao Tianming reminded.

  Chu Huan nodded and said: "It's okay, just treat it as the North American Jiaku making an appearance in North America!"

   Seeing that Chu Huan was so determined, Bao Tianming stopped saying anything.

  After finishing their trip to Las Vegas, Chu Huan, Cao Yunshang, Wu Shuhan, Qin Peng, Fu Hai, Gu Sha and others flew to New York!

  With so many people, the apartment in Manhattan must not be able to accommodate them.

   But it doesn't matter, who made Chu Huan rich.

  The good thing about being rich is that any place I want can be my home.

  So after deciding to go to New York to deal with matters related to Ford Motor and Hyundai Group, Chu Huan asked the people from the North America Garage to find him a villa near Manhattan.

  So when Chu Huan and the others arrived in New York, they directly lived in this villa.

  After settling down, Chu Huan drove to the KKR headquarters on Wall Street.

   A few days later, Xiangjiang, Xiangjiang will meet.

  Shen Bi, general manager of HSBC, and Jardine Niu Bijian, taipan, are sitting in a private room and discussing matters.

   "Got it?" Niu Bijian sat there with a thick cigar in his right hand and a red wine glass in his left and asked Shen Bi with a smile.

   "If it's about the grievances between Chu Huan and South Korea's Hyundai Group, I think I already know it!"

  Shen Bi didn't have a cigar in his hand, only a red wine glass, and his expression appeared to be at ease.

   This month, Shen Bi lived very comfortably. There is no news of Chu Huan in Xiangjiang, which is good news for Shen Bi!

   Now that there is news about Chu Huan, it is still a piece of good news that makes him happy, because Chu Huan, who is invincible in Xiangjiang, is deflated this time.

  Although it is only in a small place like South Korea, as long as Chu Huan suffers, he will be happy!

   "What does Mr. Shen think about this matter? Do you want to join forces with Hyundai Group?" Niu Bijian asked aloud.

  Hyundai Group's work efficiency is still very high. The people Zheng Shiyong sent to Xiangjiang, after investigation, quickly found out the conflicts between Chu Huan, Shen Bi of HSBC, and Jardine Matheson.

   This was analyzed in the Qingzhou Yingni battle.

   Then Zheng Shiyong flew to Xiangjiang on behalf of Zheng Zhouyong to meet secretly with Shen Bi and Niu Bijian to discuss cooperation.

   Neither Shen Bi nor Niu Bijian gave a definite answer to Zheng Shiyong's suggestion, saying they would consider it.

  The two met this time to discuss this matter.

  Shen Bi shook his head, and then said with some disdain: "Cooperation? How to cooperate? Zheng Zhouyong of Hyundai Group is nothing more than wanting us to be his vanguard."

"That's right!" Niu Bijian said with deep disdain in his tone, "What I hate the most is that Zheng Shiyong's nostrils were upturned when he was talking to me. You're just a pug, do you really think you've become a spirit?"

  Shen Bi laughed softly: "It seems that Taipan, you don't have a good impression of this Zheng Shiyong either!"

  Niu Bijian nodded and said, "Although I hate Chu Huan very much, I don't want to be someone else's knife against Chu Huan!"

  Shen Bi said: "It's the same as what I thought!"

  After speaking, Shen Bi and Niu Bijian looked at each other and smiled, then clinked glasses.

   Then Niu Bijian continued to speak: "Although we don't need to cooperate with Hyundai Group, I think there are still some things that we can use!"

  Shen Bi showed a hint of interest in his eyes, and asked, "What?"

  Niu Bijian smiled proudly: "A matter that can damage Chu Huan's reputation."

  The next day!

  Hua Ren Xing, 47th floor, "True Pao" newspaper office!

   "Editor-in-chief, editor-in-chief!" Lin Ting, Gu Chengxi's secretary, hurried to Gu Chengxi's office with two newspapers in her hand.

  Gu Chengxi was currently reviewing the content of the "True Pao" tonight's newspaper. Seeing Lin Ting's hurried appearance, she frowned slightly and asked, "What's wrong? Are you in a panic?"

  Lin Ting didn't have time to care about Gu Chengxi's dissatisfaction at this time, and hurriedly said: "Editor-in-chief, look at this morning's "Oriental Daily" and the English version of "South China Morning Post". There is news about the chairman."

"What's so strange about the chairman's news?" Gu Chengxi asked indifferently after taking the newspaper from Lin Ting's hands, but when her gaze focused on the contents of the newspaper, her face instantly became ugly Woke up.

  At this moment, she couldn't care less about what to say to Lin Ting anymore. She took the two newspapers and left her office straight away, and came to the exclusive elevator for the upper floors of the Chinese Building. After entering, she went directly to the top floor.

   Came to Xu Yi's office and met Xu Yi who had returned to Xiangjiang. Although he saw Liang Risi from Jiaku Consulting Company sitting in Xu Yi's office, Gu Chengxi was not in the mood to say hello to Liang Risi at this time.

   "President Xu, have you read today's newspaper?"

   Gu Chengxi asked.

  Xu Yi already knew about the relationship between Gu Chengxi and Chu Huan, so it was naturally impossible to regard Gu Chengxi as an ordinary person in charge of a branch of the Jiaku department.

"True News" is affiliated to Black and White Media, which is called a branch of the Jiaku Department by Xiangjiang Media and even foreign media. It is not easy for a manager of the same level in Zhenbao to meet Xu Yi.

   "Miss Gu, I already know what's going on in the newspaper, and I'm discussing countermeasures with Manager Liang."

Gu Chengxi put the two newspapers on Xu Yi's table and said, "That's good, but you still have to hurry up and come up with a countermeasure, otherwise if this matter spreads now, it will definitely be a blow to the chairman's reputation. !"

  Actually, there were two newspapers on Xu Yi's desk at this time, also "Oriental Daily" and "South China Morning Post", but Gu Chengxi, who was thinking about Chu Huan, didn't notice these.

He just said anxiously: "Now we need to let the chairman know about this as soon as possible. According to the sales volume and readership of these two newspapers, I believe that the whole Xiangjiang should have known about this by this time. Now you have to give Let me tell you whether the news in the newspaper is true or not, so that I can let "True News" and "Daily Daily" speak for the chairman in today's evening paper."

  Xu Yi said: "Things in the newspaper."

Jingle Bell!

   Just halfway through the conversation, the phone in Xu Yi's office rang, and the helpless Xu Yi could only answer the phone first.

"Mr. Xu, I'm Fang Jianhui from Black and White Media. I just received a call from TVB. They asked about the contents of the two newspapers "Oriental Daily" and "South China Morning Post" this morning, and said that Li's TV has prepared They are making a big fuss about this matter, they want to know the details of this matter, so they can take corresponding measures for A Huan's image!"

  Fang Jianhui's voice came from the other side of the phone, and he talked for a long time, but what he said was actually the same thing as Gu Chengxi said.

   Both are about two reports with the same content in the Oriental Daily and the South China Morning Post.

At this time, Xu Yi became calm and capable, without any panic in his expression, and said: "Mr. Fang, half of the things in these two reports are true and half are false. I can't explain clearly on the phone. Please trouble me." Immediately inform TVB's Leon to come to the company, we need to clarify this matter face to face."

  Fang Jianhui said without the slightest hesitation: "Okay! I'll go there with Leon!"

After hanging up Fang Jianhui's phone call, Xu Yi said to Liang Risi who was sitting in his room: "Mr. Liang, it seems that everyone needs to discuss and come up with a countermeasure as soon as possible. We can't let this matter affect the reputation of the boss in Xiangjiang. , since TVB's Lion is coming, why don't you call your team members into the meeting room and let's discuss a countermeasure together!"

  It turned out that before Gu Chengxi came to find Xu Yi, Xu Yi and Liang Risi had already known the contents of the newspaper and were discussing countermeasures at the same time.

   "No problem, I'll go right away!" Liang Risi got up and finished speaking, and left Xu Yi's office directly.

After Liang Risi left, Xu Yi continued to speak to Gu Chengxi: "Miss Gu, I think Miss Miao and the others should have read the newspaper at this time, please tell them that there will be nothing wrong with the boss. After them, please come to the meeting room!"

  Gu Chengxi nodded.

  Xu Yi called the members of the secretary team, took Gu Chengxi to another room, and called Miao Kexiu and the others.

  In Xu Yi's office, there are a lot of top-secret files about all the companies of the Jiaku Department, and even the Kyushu and Yunhai chains. Xu Yi doesn't know how many secrets Gu Chengxi knows about Chu Huan, but even Gu Chengxi knows them all.

   In Xu Yi's place, Gu Chengxi would not be allowed to stay alone in his office!

  After Gu Chengxi left, Xu Yi also walked out of his office and came to the conference room on the top floor.

   After Gu Chengxi informed Miao Kexiu, Lin Qingxia, and Zhao Yazhi to let them not worry, they also came to the meeting room.

  But Li Xiaohe hadn't arrived at this time, so they had to wait for a while.

   But not just sitting and waiting.

  Xu Yi sat in the first place without hesitation, Liang Risi sat on the left, Gu Chengxi sat on the right, but there was still a vacant seat on Gu Chengxi's left hand side closer to the rostrum, which was reserved for Li Xiaohe.

"I believe everyone has read today's newspaper. I have faxed these two newspapers to the chairman before, but the chairman has something to do and is not in the residence, so I haven't received a reply from the chairman. Now everyone Let's study how to deal with this matter first!"

  Xu Yi sat there, and said with a firm expression: "The company spends so much money every year to support everyone, and I hope that at this time, everyone can solve these unnecessary troubles for the chairman!"

Liang Risi said in a deep voice: "Mr. Xu, solving such troubles for the chairman is what our public relations department should do, but Mr. Xu, the most important thing now is that we don't know what the content of the newspaper is about this matter. How much is true and how much is false, so now we need you to tell us the truth!"

  Xu Yi's eyes fell on those two newspapers!

  ‘Chu Huan, the richest man in Xiangjiang, became angry from embarrassment and beat the son of the South Korean chaebol for no reason, causing a devastating blow to the business of Jiaku Department in South Korea! ’--"Oriental Daily"

  'Is it the richest man or the culprit? This behavior shames Xiangjiang! '--"South China Morning Post"

  The title is different, but the content is quite the same.

   It is about Chu Huan letting his bodyguard innocently beat Zheng Mengzhun, the sixth son of Zheng Zhouyong of South Korea's Hyundai Group, in Los Angeles. As a result, his Jiaku Department's business in South Korea was targeted by Hyundai Group, and it was completely destroyed!

   "According to this newspaper, when Chu Huan and his newlywed wife Cao Yunshang were on their honeymoon in Los Angeles, they ran into Zheng Mongjun, the sixth son of the South Korean conglomerate Hyundai Group Jung Joo-young, and asked his bodyguards to beat him innocently.

   As a result, the Hyundai Group counteracted and suppressed all the business of the Jiaku Department in South Korea. It has been many days since this incident, and Chu Huan has not made any response.

  From this incident, we can see that a businessman like Chu Huan can only develop in Xiangjiang, and after going out, he will lose his support, and the reality has also taught Chu Huan how to behave."

  "Oriental Daily" reported so.

   "According to this newspaper, Chu Huan and his wife, such a rude person, can develop into the richest man in Xiangjiang, even the richest Chinese.

  This has to make us wonder how Chu Huan's business in Xiangjiang became the richest man. According to the investigation of this newspaper, Chu Huan personally maintains a close relationship with many associations in Xiangjiang.

  In addition, even Bao Tianming, the general manager of Wolf Smoke Games, which Chu Huan founded recently, was once a member of the club and a senior executive of the club.

  Many people used to doubt how Chu Huan managed to grow his business from scratch to such a large size in a short period of time, maybe this incident can give us a glimpse of it.”

   This is a report by the South China Morning Post.

Xu Yi did not directly answer Liang Risi's question, but took two newspapers and preached: "The Oriental Daily focused their reports on the chairman's business ability, and believed that the chairman can run his own business. Mostly because of the locality in Xiangjiang.

   Then when the company's business went to South Korea, it was easily blocked by others.

  Although the report of the "South China Morning Post" seems to be not much different from that of the "Oriental Daily", it can be seen that they are more insidious and directly attribute this matter to the character of the chairman.

  Now I can tell you that the chairman asked Fu Hai to beat Zheng Mengzhun. It was true, but it was not for no reason, but Zheng Mengzhun provoked first.

  In addition, the Hyundai Group’s blockade of the company in South Korea does exist, but the chairman is not without action, but this action will take time. "

  After Xu Yi finished speaking, Li Xiaohe and Fang Jianhui also came to the meeting room.

  Seeing that Fang Jianhui was also here, Gu Chengxi moved a seat.

Li Xiaohe, who sat down, sighed very much at this time. This is not the first time he has come to China, but he had a direct interview with Chu Huan before, but this time Chu Huan was not there, only the one established by Chu Huan was present. These people from Jiaku Consulting Company.

  In Xiangjiang, the degree of mystery of Jiaku can be said to be the most mysterious among all well-known companies in Xiangjiang.

There are only two things that outsiders know about Jiaku. The first is that this company has been known as Chu Huan’s think tank since its inception. But how much has Jiaku played in Chu Huan’s business development? Only Jiaku and He Chu Huan knew about the role of this, and outsiders did not know about it.

  The second thing is the record of Jiaku on Hehe International's management reform.

   This incident can be said to have shocked the entire Xiangjiang.

   Now Chu Huan is not in Xiangjiang, but such a thing happened in Xiangjiang. This is the best test question to test Jiaku's coping ability.

  So even Li Xiao and this old man who has a very high influence in Xiangjiang came here immediately after receiving Fang Jianhui's call.

  Fang Jianhui, Li Xiao and the two of them sat down, and immediately someone from the public relations department softly told them the conversation in the conference room just now.

Liang Risi said: "If this is the case, it will be a little troublesome. With these two reports, most Xiangjiang citizens will agree with them preconceivedly. If we can't come up with real evidence for our explanation, it is very likely that we will be upset. to any effect!"

  Xu Yi looked at Liang Risi and said: "That's why the chairman spent so much money to set up the company's public relations department. Since the chairman trusts Manager Liang, we also trust Manager Liang. We will definitely be able to deal with the current situation."

Liang Risi said: "Just now I have discussed with my colleagues in the public relations department. This matter must be responded to as quickly as possible. If this is the case, the speed of the newspaper's spread must not be enough. Please trouble TVB, which is in charge of Leon!"

  Li Xiaohe didn't expect that he would have a task as soon as he arrived, and said: "This is no problem, you can come up with a specific plan, and I will ask the TV station to prepare a temporary program to clarify this matter for A Huan!"

   "Then, let me tell you what our public relations department thinks first, and everyone will give you their opinions."

   I thought I would be able to resume the third shift today, but it turned out to be a little bit of a surprise. Huangshan will continue to work hard tomorrow, recover early, and then make up for everyone~~
