Xiangjiang, No. 19, Middle Gap Road, executive room of HSBC Bank!

  Chu Huan is no stranger to this place. He has attended various banquets here before, and also met Sha Ya a few times here alone.

   I believe you will be no stranger to this place in the future. Roy Bentley will also live here after he reaches the top of the HSBC Taipan.

  When Chu Huan came here, the place was already full of guests.

  As the head of HSBC Bank, his resignation is bound to bring together all the celebrities in Hong Kong. Even MacLehose, the governor of Hong Kong who rarely appears on such occasions, is here today.

However, the appearance of Chu Huan still caused commotion here. After all, in the past year, Chu Huan only appeared at the celebration dinner for the acquisition of Wheelock by Hehe International. Chu Huan rarely appeared on other such occasions. up.

   "Haha, Director Chu, I haven't seen you for a long time, I thought you wouldn't be here today!"

  Seeing Chu Huan coming, Sha Ya was also very happy. She walked over in person, held Chu Huan's hand, and preached seriously.

  Chu Huan said with a smile: "It is not necessary to appear normally, but it must appear today. Shaya Taipan's contribution to HSBC and Xiangjiang will remain forever in Xiangjiang's business history!"

  Sha Ya was happier when she heard what Chu Huan said, and said with a smile: "Xiangjiang is the most beautiful city I have ever stayed in. I think I will miss him very much in the future!"

  Chu Huan said: "If you think about it, come back, and then I will personally welcome Mr. Daban!"

   There was competition, cooperation, and mutual calculation between    and Sha Ya, but now with Sha Ya's resignation, all the previous things have disappeared like a passing cloud.

   Just like washing hands in the golden basin on the rivers and lakes, after washing, there will be no rivers and lakes!

  So now Chu Huan is willing to offer his friendship to Sha Ya.

And Chu Huan's friendship is not something anyone can have. Sha Ya said with some emotion: "The thing that surprised me the most during the years in Xiangjiang is the rise of President Chu. You are as bright as a comet." , and as permanent as the sun, even in the history of world business, it is rare to see Mr. Chu like this."

  Chu Huan laughed, and said: "Mr. Taiban said that in front of so many Xiangjiang celebrities, I am a little ashamed!"

   "I think Sha Ya is telling the truth. President Chu's achievements in Xiangjiang are all eye-catching!"

  MacLehose also preached with a smile at this time.

   "Mr. Governor, you are trying to kill me!"

   Chu Huan joked.

   "Mr. Chu, we haven't seen each other for a long time, how about finding a time to make an appointment for a ball game?"

  MacLehose extended an invitation to Chu Huan.

Now the situation in his hometown is becoming more and more unclear, and Xiangjiang is the most sensitive city among them. Now MacLehose also wants to know what the businessmen in Xiangjiang think of his hometown, especially people like Chu Huan. A person with far-reaching influence.

  Chu Huan said: "The Governor of Hong Kong invites me, of course I have no objection, but the Governor of Hong Kong must be merciful when the time comes, you know my skills."

   "Don't be humble, Mr. Chu. I've heard people say that Mr. Chu's skills have skyrocketed during this period, so I should be careful."

   MacLehose said with a smile.

  The two quickly agreed on a time to play.

In fact, in the final analysis, no matter what level of people hold the party, in the end, they are actually the people who participate in the party. They connect with each other and see if there are any projects that can be cooperated. At the same time, they drink and dance with each other. That's it. The process is over.

  The only thing that is different is actually the level of people who attend the party.

  Chu Huan has kept a low profile for more than a year, and he has not made any big moves in Xiangjiang, but there are many people similar to Chu Huan, and there are many people who rarely appear on such occasions for a long time.

  For example, Mr. Yan Chengkun, the chairman of Huabus, Chu Huan has not appeared on such occasions for more than a year, but Yan Chengkun has not participated in such activities for many years.

Yan Chengkun is not only the chairman of the board of directors of Huabus, but also has many social positions. For example, the famous Tung Wah Group of Hospitals in Xiangjiang is actually the merger of Tung Wah Hospital, Tung Wah East Hospital and Guanghua Hospital in Kowloon by Yan Chengkun. Tung Wah After the unification of the three hospitals, Yan Chengkun became the first chairman of the Tung Wah Group of Hospitals!

In addition, Yan Chengkun has also served as the director of Chaozhou Bayi Chamber of Commerce, the consultant of Hong Kong and Kowloon Rice Industry Chamber of Commerce, the permanent honorary chairman of Hong Kong Chaozhou Chamber of Commerce, the chairman of Nanhua Sports Association, the school director of Xiangjiang Private Peiying Secondary School, Yinghua College and The school manager of Ying Hua Girls' School, the school supervisor of Tsuen Wan Teochew Public School, the chairman of the 6th district of the Chinese Christian Church, and the financial committee member of the Chinese reserve police.

   is the top boss of the Xiangjiang Chaozhou Gang's uncle generation.

  He also came to the scene today, which shows that Sha Ya's resignation has had a great impact.

  Chu Huan took the initiative to walk over, and said with a smile: "Yan Weng has not seen you for a long time, your body is still strong!"

  The two have met several times at the gathering of the Chamber of Commerce, so they are not strangers.

  Yan Chengkun saw that Chu Huan came over to say hello, and said with a smile, "So it's Director Chu. It's been a long time since we met. The last time we met was at the annual meeting of the General Chamber of Commerce, right?"

  Chu Huan nodded, and said: "That's right, Yan Weng's memory is really good, which is admirable!"

   "What's the matter, my dad can memorize all the minibus routes in Xiangjiang!" Yan Jieling, the eldest daughter next to Yan Chengkun, said proudly.

   "A Ling!" Yan Chengkun murmured dissatisfiedly, and then said to Chu Huan with a smile: "Don't worry, Mr. Chu, girls don't know how to behave!"

  Yan Jieling was a little dissatisfied with being reprimanded by her father on the spot, but she still didn't dare to say anything in the end.

  For Yan Jieling's attitude just now, Chu Huan naturally didn't take it seriously. Simply put, Yan Jieling is a master with high eyesight and low power.

When Yan Chengkun was the chairman of China-Pakistan, he could easily control the two major trade unions under China-Pakistan. However, after Yan Jieling took over her father's position, she would only use strong means to suppress it, which led to the deterioration of labor relations and even the relationship with the Hong Kong government. It was also very bad. Finally, in 1998, the Hong Kong government terminated the CMB franchise!

   "Yan Weng has something, I want to discuss it with you, I wonder when Yan Weng will have time for us to sit down and have a good chat?"

  After returning to Xiangjiang, Chu Huan had already decided what he would do next in Xiangjiang, which was to get involved in the bus industry in Xiangjiang.

  Xiangjiang's bus industry seems to be a public enterprise and does not make money. According to Chu Huan's current financial resources and influence, there is no need to put his business tentacles here, but the actual situation is not like this at all.

Buses are the most important means of transportation for traveling in Xiangjiang. If Chu Huan can control the bus industry in Xiangjiang, then basically it can be guaranteed that Chu Huan's Zhulu Real Estate, no matter where he develops his own real estate in any place in Xiangjiang, can be in the first place. Guarantee the traffic flow of your real estate for a while, and this is one of the important reasons why the property can ask for a price increase.

   Later, Sun Hung Kai attacked Kowloon Bus for this purpose.

  Of course, because these two companies were established before the war, they have a lot of fast and high-quality land in Xiangjiang, which can be used for development in the future. This is another advantage.

  Later, Henderson Land acquired China Gas, and Cheung Kong acquired Hongkong Electric. In addition to the value of these companies, what is more important is that these companies control the people's livelihood of Xiangjiang.

  With these most basic facility guarantees, they can guarantee that the properties under their company's name can obtain these guarantees in the shortest possible time.

   Regardless of Chu Huan's current status in Xiangjiang, or Yan Chengkun's status in Xiangjiang at this time, Chu Huan is not suitable for fighting unannounced like before.

   Now that Chu Huan is interested in these two bus companies, what he has to do is to discuss with the chairmen of the two boards of directors first to see if there is a possibility of a peaceful acquisition. If not, he will conduct a hostile acquisition.

   This is the same as a war between the two countries, courtesy first and soldiers later!

  Facing Chu Huan's sudden invitation, Yan Chengkun was taken aback for a moment, then smiled and said, "Okay, I haven't had tea at Lu Yu Tea House for a long time, how about we meet somewhere?"

  Chu Huan said: "Of course I have no problem!"

  After Chu Huan left, Yan Jieling couldn't help asking her father, "Daddy, why did Chu Huan invite you suddenly?"

Yan Chengkun glanced at his daughter, and said with some dissatisfaction: "How many times have I told you, don't talk nonsense on such occasions, don't talk nonsense, I know you think highly of yourself, but with my help, you Now he is just an executive director of the company, but it took Chu Huan only five or six years to get to where he is now. Your little cleverness is not enough for him. If you are still so frizzy in the future If you don’t, you can go back to England for me!”

  Yan Jieling went to university in England.

   "I didn't play tricks!" Yan Jieling was in her thirties, and now she felt a little wronged by her father's reprimand, "Besides, what I just said is true!"

  Yan Chengkun shook his head helplessly, and said, "Whether you're playing tricks or not, you know it in your heart. I tell you, if Chu Huan really wants to do this, even if you say that, it won't do anything!"

  Yan Jieling was stunned for a moment, and said worriedly: "Is Chu Huan really interested in Huabus?"

  Just now Chu Huan suddenly came over to say hello to Yan Chengkun. Normally, it seems nothing. Although the wealth of the Yan family in Xiangjiang cannot be compared with that of Chu Huan, Yan Chengkun is highly respected in Xiangjiang after all.

Now there are many people who are highly respected in Xiangjiang, and there are many people at the same level as Yan Chengkun, but Chu Huan did not go to greet those he is more familiar with first, but he came to greet Yan Chengkun first. Yan Jieling didn't believe it.

  That's why Yan Jieling did what she just did.

   "Whether you have any ideas, we will not know until we meet with Chu Huan tomorrow."

  Yan Chengkun thought helplessly that Huabus had just dealt with the coveted United Overseas Transportation Company two years ago, and now it might encounter a stronger opponent, which made Yan Chengkun very helpless.

   "Daddy, look quickly, Chu Huan is going to chat with Lei Juehua!"

  Yan Jieling noticed Chu Huan's whereabouts at this time.

  Yan Chengkun's bad premonition grew stronger.

Chu Huan and Lei Juehua are old acquaintances. Up to now, the theaters of the Lei family are still rented by Shanhai Cinemas. Lei Juehua also supported the black and white video "Big J Valve" and Shaw Brothers' "Young People" "It's a big propaganda war.

  In addition, the film company founded by Lei Juehua's girlfriend Li Jing also has a very good cooperative relationship with black and white video.

   "Director Chu, Jingjing told me before that she should thank Director Chu for her great support for Jingjing's last film!"

  Different from another time and space, Li Jing left Shaw Brothers early to start her own film company.

However, the style of Li Jing Film Company obviously can't keep up with the current trend of Xiangjiang film market, but because of Lei Juehua, when Li Jing Film Company's film was released, Shanhai Cinemas still gave many theaters support of.

   "That's right, Mr. Chu, today I will borrow flowers and present Buddha to thank you!"

  Li Jing held her wine glass and smiled to Chu Huan.

Although Li Jing has a lot of auras of actresses on her head, such auras are actually worthless on such occasions. Only when she reaches Chu Huan's level can she not care what kind of occasion it is today. Lin Qingxia, Zhao Yazhi, Miao Kexiu and other girls from the entertainment industry came to participate, and other people in Xiangjiang will still pay attention to the influence.

  But now Lei Juehua is still here with Li Jing, so it can be seen that the two of them may really be close to a good thing, but I don’t know if the result of Lei Juehua in this world will be the same as in another time and space.

  Chu Huan said with a smile: "Then I will be disrespectful!"

   "Lei Sheng, do you have time for us to sit down and talk alone?" Chu Huan extended an invitation to Lei Juehua.

Lei Juehua didn't think as much as Yan Chengkun did just now, mainly because he and Chu Huan were old acquaintances. Although this relationship was not further improved later, in Lei Juehua's view, their relationship was based on mutual appointments. There is nothing wrong with sitting down.

   "Of course I have no problem, it's time to see Director Chu's time!"

  Chu Huan said with a smile: "Okay, wait for me to book the time here, and let the secretary notify you when the time comes!"

   "No problem!" Lei Juehua said with a smile.

  After the negotiation, the two sides smiled and parted.

  At the party tonight, except for Chu Huan who took the initiative to communicate with Yan Chengkun and Lei Juehua briefly, the rest of the time was spent dealing with those who came to talk to him.

  As for Guo Desheng and the others, they all knew that Chu Huan must be very busy right now, and the relationship between them did not require any communication on this occasion, so they just nodded lightly and did not talk.

  However, some old acquaintances found Chu Huan at this time.

   "A Huan, I finally found you!"

  TVB Chairman Li Xiaohe found Chu Huan.

  Chu Huan showed a helpless expression, and said: "Lion, it seems that I am avoiding you by saying that!"

  Li Xiaohe laughed and said, "I never said that, but I do have something to ask for your help!"

  Chu Huan said: "Lion, with your Li family's status in Xiangjiang, I really can't think of anything you can ask me for help!"

  Li Xiaohe laughed, and said: "I really need your help with this matter, no one else can do it, and to be honest, you are not helping me, but helping us!"

  Hearing what Li Xiaohe said, Chu Huan knew what Li Xiaohe was talking about, and asked with a smile: "You think it's about the judges of the Miss Xiangjiang Final again?"

  Li Xiaohe said proudly: "That's the matter. Now the new year's Miss Xiangjiang election has started. You didn't agree to the company's invitation in the past two years. You have to agree to anything this year."

  According to Chu Huan's influence in Xiangjiang, if he agrees to be the judge of Miss Xiangjiang finals, it will naturally become a big event in Xiangjiang.

  Chu Huan vaguely remembered that if there were no accidents, Huo Zhenting would find the other half of a certain period of his life journey in this year's Miss Hong Kong.

   To be honest, his half is indeed very beautiful, but unfortunately it is not the type that Chu Huan likes.

  So it’s better not to change this history, “Well, Leon has invited you twice, if I refuse again, wouldn’t it be even more difficult to invite than Zhuge Liang!”

  Including this year, Li Xiaohe has invited Chu Huan to be the judge of the Miss Xiangjiang finals for three consecutive years, and it is really hard to refuse.

   After all, although Li Xiaohe is the chairman of the TVB board of directors, black and white video is the largest shareholder of TVB.

   "Haha, let's make an agreement, I will let the company's publicity be more important!"

  Li Xiaohe preached happily.

Now that Chu Huan has agreed to Li Xiaohe's invitation, he naturally doesn't care about this kind of publicity. Chu Huan has been relatively low-key for more than a year, but it doesn't mean that Chu Huan will deliberately do something. The so-called low-key, It's just that you don't want to do something you don't like.

   "What are you two talking about, so happy?"

   Zheng Yutong, who happened to be passing by here, heard the laughter of Chu Huan and Li Xiaohe, and asked out loudly.

  Although they don't go out of their way to chat with each other, but now that they meet, if they don't communicate, it will be deliberate.

  Chu Huan laughed and said, "We're talking about this year's Miss Hong Kong Finals!"

  Zheng Yutong immediately understood the meaning, and asked with a smile: "A Huan, you are going to be the judge of the finals, right?"

  Chu Huan nodded and said: "It's hard to be generous, but it happens that there won't be too many things in Xiangjiang during this time, and it's no problem to be a judge. I'm still very confident about appreciating beauties!"

  Zheng Yutong, Li Xiao and the two laughed at the same time.

  After laughing, Zheng Yutong asked Li Xiaohe: "Lisheng, I wonder if your TV station has found a jewelry sponsor for this year's Miss Hong Kong election. If not, we at Chow Tai Fook Jewelery are very willing to sponsor."

  In the election of Miss Xiangjiang, the laurels on her head are usually sponsored by jewelry companies.

However, last year it was another jewelry company in Hong Kong. Now that Zheng Yutong heard that Chu Huan was going to be the judge of this year’s Miss Hong Kong finals, he immediately sensed the business opportunities. prosperity.

  Li Xiaohe also understood what Zheng Yutong meant, and said with a smile, "We're still talking for now. If Zhou Dafu is interested, we can talk about it!"

  Zheng Yutong laughed and said, "Then I will let Ah Chun go to your company tomorrow!"

  Li Xiaohe nodded and said, "No problem!"

  The three of them separated after the discussion. Chu Huan saw Roy Bentley who was very low-key here today. Chu Huan could understand Roy Bentley's low-key today.

After all, the protagonist tonight is Sha Ya. Although Roy Bentley's appointment as HSBC executive has been officially approved at the HSBC board of directors today, Sha Ya still has to give all the spotlight to Sha Ya, otherwise, Roy Bentley will inevitably give people a feeling of not being stable enough.

"Congratulations!"

  Chu Huan smiled and clinked glasses with Roy Bentley.

  Roy Bentley tried his best to conceal his inner joy, and said calmly: "You have already congratulated Director Chu this morning!"

  Chu Huan himself is also a director of HSBC, and the board of directors of HSBC naturally participated this morning.

  Chu Huan said: "The congratulations in the morning are routine, the congratulations now are sincere blessings, and the blessings in a few days are mutual progress!"

  Roy Bentley chuckled softly: "What Chairman Chu said is always so refreshing!"

  Chu Huan said: "That's because we are now a firm partnership!"

   "Here's to the partnership!"

   "Here's to the partnership!"

   The two clinked glasses again.

   But after the two finished drinking this time, Sha Ya came over.

   "Mr. Chu, I think the ending of HSBC should be what Mr. Chu would like to see the most!?" Sha Ya said meaningfully.

  Chu Huan smiled easily, and said: "As a director of HSBC, I naturally hope to see that the next executive of HSBC is a capable person!"

Sha Ya nodded, and didn't say anything more about this matter. To be precise, he no longer has any relationship with HSBC at this time, and even the big class room he lives in now has to be handed over, but there is no People will care about such things, as long as Sha Ya does not leave Xiangjiang, he can live here forever.

  But Sha Ya would definitely not do such self-deprecating things.

   "Mr. Chu, although I will not be the head of HSBC in the future, I still hope that Mr. Chu can help HSBC a lot in the future, such as the layout of HSBC in Europe in the future!"

  Although Sha Ya is gone, he still hopes that Roy Bentley can complete the plan he set and complete HSBC's plan for the global strategic layout of the triangle stool.

This strategic plan was set by Sha Ya. No matter who succeeds HSBC in future generations, as long as this strategic plan continues, Sha Ya will definitely be mentioned in the future. So even now that Sha Ya has left HSBC, she still has a relationship with Chu Feng. Huan said so.

  Roy Bentley is not an idiot. He thinks that Sha Ya will have no influence in HSBC after he leaves. People who think so are not selected by Chu Huan to be Shen Bi's opponent.

  So at this time, Roy Bentley still treats Sha Ya with the same respect as Sha Ya when he was in office.

   "Taipan, please rest assured, I will definitely complete the plan you set before!"

  Hearing Roy Bentley's statement, Sha Ya was obviously very happy, "Haha, Roy, I naturally know your ability. I believe that you will become an even better HSBC executive than me in the future!"

  Roy Bentley said with a smile: "Without your support from Taipan, Roy would not have this opportunity."

Sha Ya nodded, and then looked at Chu Huan. Now that he has resigned, whether HSBC will be suppressed by Chu Huan to become the second place in Xiangjiang, he will have some concerns, but it will definitely not be like when he was in office again. Anyway, even if Chu Huan's strength became the number one in Xiangjiang and surpassed HSBC, it was achieved under Roy Bentley's tenure.

Nowadays, when Xiangjiang people talk about the four major consortiums of Xiangjiang, although they will put Jiaku in front of HSBC, it is only because of Jiaji’s profit. But in terms of influence, Jiaji is still not as good as HSBC, even better than Yi and are worse.

Chu Huan said with a smile: "Don't worry, Mr. Taipan, I just said that I am a director of HSBC, so I naturally hope that HSBC will get better and better, so if Roy needs it, I will help him without hesitation." .”

   "If that's the case, it would be great!" Sha Ya smiled happily!

   Then Sha Ya left the scene, and Roy Bentley also left Chu Huan's side.

   When it was 11 o'clock in the evening, the party officially ended.

   After Chu Huan left the big class room by car, he did not return directly to his residence, but asked Qin Peng to drive to a food stall in Saigon.

No matter how many parties he has attended, Chu Huan has never had enough to eat, but these parties are stinky and long, so at the end, Chu Huan always likes to find a food stall with good taste to fill his stomach .

When Chu Huan returned to No. 12, Mount Kellie Road, it was already past twelve o'clock in the evening, and Cao Yunshang had already fallen asleep. Chu Huan did not wake her up, but simply took a shower, and then lay down on the bed, feeling After seeing Chu Huan's movement, Cao Yunshang gave a warning, turned around, and hugged Chu Huan

  Next day!

   While the two were having breakfast, the servant brought some copies of today's newspaper.

  ‘The end of an era! ’--"True Daily"

  ‘Xiangjiang enters the next era! ’--"Letter"

  'Roy era, look forward to the future! ’--"Sing Tao Daily"

  Almost all the newspapers in Hong Kong today gave their headlines to Sha Ya.

  Although Sha Ya’s performance was not as brilliant as that of his predecessor Sanders when he was in office, the HSBC triangle stool strategic development plan led by Sha Ya in the later period still brought a great impact to Xiangjiang.

  In the eyes of Hong Kong people at this time, HSBC acquired Ocean Milan Bank in North America just to expand its influence in the North American banking industry, and now everyone thinks that HSBC represents Hong Kong.

  The results of HSBC are actually the results of Heung Kong!

  So, HSBC's acquisition of North American Ocean Milan Bank is to win glory for Xiangjiang!

   "How was Sha Ya's farewell party yesterday?" Cao Yunshang asked Chu Huan after wrapping a steamed bun for herself.

   "There is no difference!" Chu Huan said indifferently: "But I made an appointment with Yan Chengkun from CMB and Lei Juehua from KMB yesterday. I don't know if they will agree to my acquisition!"

   "It won't be that easy!" Cao Yunshang concluded.

  Chu Huan nodded in agreement.
