"Director Chu, it may not be so easy for Zhulu Real Estate to win the championship in one fell swoop this time!"

  After Mrs. Guo’s funeral, Chu Huan and Yan Chengkun found a tea house and sat down, chatting casually.

  The content of their chat was, of course, the bidding for property development right above Central Station and Admiralty Station, the most popular subway stations.

  Yan Chengkun told Chu Huan at the beginning that it would not be so easy for Zhulu Real Estate to win this bidding.

   Chu Huan did not argue with Yan Chengkun on this matter, because he knew what Yan Chengkun said was right.

"In the past, Zhulu Real Estate relied on the support of Mr. Chu with a large amount of cash to easily obtain the projects he wanted, including the previous Huaye City and Zhulu Commercial Center, but this time it is obvious that although cash is important, it is not The only one!"

  Yan Chengkun went on to explain his views to Chu Huan.

  Although Zhulu Real Estate has become the largest real estate company in Xiangjiang, in fact, many people still have a lot of complaints about the rise of Zhulu Real Estate.

  The most important one is what Yan Chengkun said before.

  The reason why Zhulu Real Estate was able to succeed was because of Chu Huan's cash support.

  The predecessor of Zhulu Real Estate was the merger of Huhua Real Estate under the name of Jiahu Textile and Hang Lung Real Estate.

  Huhua Real Estate was founded by Jiahu Textile. After Chu Huan took back Jiahu Textile, he used money to clear the way and cooperated with the Hong Kong government to win the land of Huaye City and start the development of Huaye City.

   Hang Lung Real Estate was acquired by Chu Huan from Chen Zengxi and his son, and the subsequent development of Hang Lung Real Estate was actually the foundation laid by Chen Zengxi and his son for Hang Lung Real Estate.

  As for the most important project of Zhulu Real Estate, Zhulu Commercial Center, it can be said that Chu Huan won it after maximizing his money-making ability.

   It is precisely because of these things that even though Zhulu Real Estate is now the largest real estate company in Xiangjiang, it is still considered to be based on Chu Huan's financial ability, not their real ability.

Take a look at how these real estate companies in Xiangjiang develop. There are only one real estate company in Xiangjiang. In fact, if you want to develop, there are two ways. You can either go public to raise funds. The representatives of this category are mainly Sun Hung Kai, or they are backed by banks. Support, the representative of this category is New World.

  During this development process, each of their companies has experienced various difficulties, and they have different solutions to their own company's projects.

However, all these problems have never appeared in Zhulu Real Estate. Chu Huan has given this company enviable financial support. With the support of funds, the projects developed by the company can be well-known. It also allowed consumers in Xiangjiang to recognize the houses of Zhenlu Real Estate.

but.

  Many people still believe that without the support of abundant funds at that time, it is impossible for Zhulu Real Estate to develop to the present stage.

  This time, regarding the bidding for the property development right above Central Station and Admiralty Station of the subway station, although the weight of money is also very heavy, it is not the only one.

  When money is no longer the only need, in the eyes of everyone, in fact, Zhulu Real Estate has lost its greatest advantage!

   Moreover, as everyone knows, the relationship between Chu Huan and the Hong Kong government.

  Chu Huan smiled wryly, and said, "Yan Weng, why don't you simply say that my relationship with the Hong Kong government has been difficult."

  Yan Chengkun saw Chu Huan's wry smile, and felt a little gloating in his heart. It is rare to see Chu Huan's deflated expression in Xiangjiang!

   "Mr. Chu, you can't let all the good things in this world be taken by you. Besides, Zhulu Real Estate has a big business now. Whether or not there is this project has no effect on Zhulu Real Estate. I think it's better to let it go!"

Faced with Yan Chengkun's comfort, Chu Huan no longer had a wry smile, but just smiled softly: "Yan Weng, the Zhulu real estate industry has a big business, and it has developed little by little. You can't give up the opportunity to make money just because of this. Besides, you are now participating in the bidding." Isn’t the real estate company in the real estate company a big business, isn’t it Landmark? Or Taikoo, isn’t it?”

  Yan Chengkun said indifferently: "The key issue is the relationship between people and the Hong Kong government. It's not something you can compare with Mr. Chu. That's your own son!"

  Chu Huan smiled, "If my son is dishonest, he will still hit him!"

  Seeing that Chu Huan was so confident, Yan Chengkun glanced at Chu Huan suspiciously, and asked curiously: "Director Chu, do you have any ideas? Or have you negotiated some conditions with the Hong Kong government?"

  Chu Huan waved his hand and said, "I want to have a good talk with them, but they don't give us the chance to compete in real estate at all!"

Yan Chengkun laughed uncontrollably, and didn't dwell on this matter anymore. Although Chu Huan and the Yan family are in a cooperative relationship now, Yan Chengkun didn't intend to say anything about this matter. A wrestling between governments.

  Outsiders only need to watch the excitement.

   After the two chatted for a while, Yan Chengkun left early, and Chu Huan sat alone in the teahouse, meditating silently.

  Chu Huan actually understands very well that Yan Chengkun's analysis is actually very reasonable, and it also represents the thinking of most people today. It is not so easy for Zhulu Real Estate to win this competition.

  The probability is actually very low.

  However, there are some things that must be tried. As Chu Huan said just now, if you don’t even try, doesn’t it mean that when you encounter such things in the future, you have to choose to give in?

  After walking out of the teahouse, Qin Peng asked Chu Huan, "Chairman, where are we going?"

  Chu Huan didn't get in the car, and said relaxedly: "Let's go, the person from the subway company that Shu Han made an appointment with, there are still a few hours left."

  Qin Peng nodded.

   Other people drove slowly behind Chu Huan, while Qin Peng and another bodyguard followed Chu Huan.

  At this time, the streets of Xiangjiang are full of vitality. Tight shirts and flared pants, this kind of trendy clothing that only became popular in the 1980s in my hometown, can be seen everywhere on the streets of Xiangjiang at this time.

   "Director Chu?"

  While Chu Huan was wandering around, a tall and big ghost came across from Chu Huan. After seeing Chu Huan, he was in a daze for a while, and then asked with some uncertainty.

  Chu Huan's reputation in Xiangjiang is naturally unnecessary, but it is unrealistic to say that everyone in Xiangjiang knows Chu Huan and what Chu Huan looks like.

  In this place of Xiangjiang, all kinds of information emerge one after another. Chu Huan has been very low-key for more than a year, so there are not many people who can quickly recognize Chu Huan on the street, but now he is recognized by a ghost.

   When Chu Huan saw the ghost, he was dressed like a hippie. He just felt a little familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had seen him before.

"You are?"

   Guilao hurriedly introduced himself: "Chu Dong, hello, we don't know each other, I just saw your photo in the newspaper, by the way, my name is Alan, but I now have a Xiangjiang name Sheng Zhiwen."

  Chu Huan knew why he saw this person familiarly. It turned out that he was known as the father of Xiangjiang Lan Kwai Fong in later generations.

Sheng Zhiwen, this is a German, but he came to Xiangjiang in 1969, and he should still be running his own restaurant business, but the reason why he is famous in Xiangjiang is that this person created the night scene in Xiangjiang Holy Land Lan Kwai Fong.

   Later, because of his own business, he gave up his dual citizenship in North America and Canada, and chose the nationality of Huaguo.

   "Hi, what's the matter?"

  Chu Huan thought of this person's life experience, and preached with a smile.

Sheng Zhiwen was slightly taken aback, he seemed to have nothing to do, but when he passed by here just now, he saw Chu Huan, a legendary figure in Xiangjiang, so he couldn't help saying hello, but he didn't expect the other party to respond to him .

   "No, it's okay, I just saw Director Chu, and I wanted to say hello."

  Sheng Zhiwen preached in embarrassment.

  After hearing this, Chu Huan smiled easily, and said, "So that's the case, so now we have said hello. If there is nothing else, I will leave first."

  Although he didn't expect to meet Chu Huan before, and he said just now that there was nothing wrong, but seeing that Chu Huan was so talkative, Sheng Zhiwen naturally didn't want to let go of this opportunity.

  The title of Xiangjiang God of Wealth, in addition to the title of Financial Secretary in Xiangjiang, it is Chu Huan!

   Never miss this opportunity.

   "Well, Mr. Chu, can I have a chat with you?"

  For a while, Sheng Zhiwen didn't expect to chat with Chu Huan, but he knew that he must not miss this opportunity.

  Chu Huan was also bored on the left and right, and it would be nice to have someone to talk to beside him. He said with a smile, "Okay, then just follow me!"

  Seeing that Chu Huan didn't refuse, Sheng Zhiwen became happier.

   "Mr. Chu, I, I heard that your Zhulu Real Estate is now competing for the property development right on top of Central Station and Admiralty Station?"

  Sheng Zhiwen can become the father of Lan Kwai Fong in Xiangjiang in later generations, with a net worth of tens of billions, he is naturally a very quick-witted person, and immediately thought of the common topic with Chu Huan.

  Chu Huan asked Qin Peng to buy two bottles of Coke at the Yunhai Convenience Store on the roadside, handed one to Sheng Zhiwen, and said with a smile, "Why? You signed up too?"

  Sheng Zhiwen smiled awkwardly, and said, "Mr. Chu, don't make fun of me. I'm just in the restaurant business. How can I have the capital to bid for such a project?"

  After speaking, Sheng Zhiwen thought for a while, and said cautiously: "However, I read the bidding companies in the newspaper, and I feel that Mr. Chu's chances of winning the real estate competition do not seem to be great!"

  Chu Huan didn't change his face, and smiled softly: "Really? Why do you have such an idea?"

Sheng Zhiwen pondered for a while, and said: "The strength of Zhulu Real Estate is definitely enough, but this bidding is not only based on financial advantages, but also on other capabilities, especially the situation with the Hong Kong government. As for Director Chu, your relationship with the Hong Kong government."

   At the end of his speech, Sheng Zhiwen smiled awkwardly.

  Even people like Sheng Zhiwen feel that Zhulu Real Estate has little chance of winning this bidding. It seems that the whole of Xiangjiang now thinks so.

   "Then what can you do?" Chu Huan asked indifferently.

  Sheng Zhiwen smiled awkwardly. In this situation, what can I do? I just want to find something that Chu Huan cares about and get in touch with Chu Huan more.

   But looking at Chu Huan's relaxed smile, Sheng Zhiwen also knew that this unexpected opportunity, this time only, if he can't grasp it, maybe he won't have the chance to continue contacting Chu Huan in the future.

After thinking for a while, Sheng Zhiwen said tentatively: "Now all the real estate companies in Hong Kong are targeting the Hong Kong government, but in fact the subject of this tender is the MTR Corporation. If Director Chu can negotiate with the MTR Corporation Get in touch there, I think even if the financial secretary of the Hong Kong government has any ideas, they must refer to the opinions of the MTR Corporation."

  Chu Huan glanced at Sheng Zhiwen indiscriminately. He was indeed a well-known man with a reputation. What Sheng Zhiwen was talking about now was exactly what he was doing.

As for other real estate companies, they may not have seen this. Some may be obsessed with the authorities, and some may not need it. For companies like Landmark, if there is no such cheat as Chu Huan, they only need to appease Xia Dingji. You can easily get the tender for the property development right above Central Station and Admiralty Station.

  Seeing that Chu Huan didn't respond, Sheng Zhiwen couldn't grasp Chu Huan's intentions, but he didn't dare to ask too much whether his speculation was correct.

  Chu Huan changed the topic at this time, and asked with a smile: "What are you doing in Xiangjiang now?"

  Sheng Zhiwen hurriedly replied: "I have opened several western restaurants in Xiangjiang, and I also did some ready-made clothing business before, but now Xiangjiang's ready-made clothing business."

   In the end, Sheng Zhiwen became a little embarrassed again.

   And Chu Huan also knew what he was embarrassed about. Now Xiangjiang's ready-to-wear clothing has basically been monopolized by fashion, crocodile, and several clothing brands endorsed by Lin Boxin. It is difficult for Xiangjiang's other ready-to-wear brands to achieve success in Xiangjiang.

   "This is a good business. Xiangjiang people love to eat. Whether it is Chinese food or Western food, as long as the taste meets the taste of Xiangjiang people, there is no need to worry about no market."

  Sheng Zhiwen said with a smile: "It's like this, so I can open several stores in a row, but now"

   Speaking of which, Sheng Zhiwen first observed Chu Huan carefully, and saw that Chu Huan's expression didn't change, and then continued: "However, I'm thinking now, whether I can expand my business."

   "Let's listen to it!" Chu Huan preached noncommittally.

Sheng Zhiwen immediately said happily: "It's like this. I have met people from many other countries in Xiangjiang, and many of them are complaining to me. After work every day, they want to find a quiet place to sit for a while. Sit, drink beer, chat, but can't find such a place, I was thinking, if there is such a place in Xiangjiang, the business will definitely not be bad!"

  Now Xiangjiang, Lan Kwai Fong has not yet appeared. The father of Lan Kwai Fong is still in the restaurant business, so naturally there is no Lan Kwai Fong.

As for what Sheng Zhiwen said, it is actually a kind of quiet bar, not the kind of bar that is common in the Xiangjiang market now. Nowadays, most of the bars in Xiangjiang are established by associations in Xiangjiang, and the environment can be imagined. As far as I know, most of them serve the members of Xiangjiang's clubs.

   In such an environment, ghosts who live and work in Xiangjiang will naturally not go there.

  After listening to Wei Wei’s forehead, Chu Huan said, “It’s a good idea. Based on what you just said about your own situation, it shouldn’t be very difficult to establish such a place in Xiangjiang.”

Sheng Zhiwen smiled wryly, and said: "If it's just a bar, it's definitely not a problem, but if you want to make this kind of business, the most worrying thing is that after the opening, there will be countless followers around. , if everyone's style is the same, it's okay to say something, but if it's the current bar model in Xiangjiang, then the environment will be messed up by then, and it will be useless.

  The most important thing is that if you do this kind of thing in Xiangjiang now, you have to deal with associations more or less, so I am still a little worried. "

   It is not so simple to make any business successful. Big business has big business troubles, and small business has small business troubles.

  A business like Lan Kwai Fong is easy to attract the attention of Xiangjiang's associations. Now Sheng Zhiwen is not short of money, and more importantly, he lacks the conditions that allow him to do this business with peace of mind.

Of course, although he is not short of small money, he is short of big money. From his answer just now, Chu Huan can see that this person has a lot of thoughts. What he fancy is not just a bar, but a bar with such an atmosphere. Environment, the formation of an environment is not as simple as a bar.

   "I'm very interested in your suggestion, but I can't do it today. I have other things to do. If you have time, come to the company and talk to me about your ideas in detail!"

   Seeing what Chu Huan meant, Qin Peng took out a business card of Chu Huan from his pocket and handed it to Sheng Zhiwen.

Sheng Zhiwen took Chu Huan's business card with both hands, with joy in his eyes, he was able to meet Chu Huan by chance today, and told Chu Huan what he thought, but Chu Huan did not object, but showed some interesting thoughts, which It was because I burned incense when I went out today.

   "Thank you Huan Shao, thank you Huan Shao, after this incident is over, I will visit Huan Shao, and I will bring my business proposal with me!"

  The excited Sheng Zhiwen changed his address to Chu Huan!

  Chu Huan also smiled after listening, got in the car and left without saying anything.

  Sheng Zhiwen stood on the side of the road, carefully put Chu Huan's business card in his jacket pocket, then patted it lightly, and finally left proudly.

  On the second day, the bidding announcement for the property development right above the Central Station and Admiralty Station of the Xiangjiang Metro Station was published in major newspapers in Xiangjiang.

   People who have been paying attention to this matter have bought newspapers to check the detailed situation.

   "Chu Huan is still so generous. Did you see that their company's price tag is the highest, a full 310 million Hong Kong dollars!"

  After discovering the participation of Changshi, Chu Huan asked He Bingguang to increase the quotation by 10 million. After all, in another time and space, Changshi won these two projects at a price of 300 million Hong Kong dollars.

   "No, you see, this Changshi is really powerful enough. It actually paid 300 million Hong Kong dollars, which is only 10 million less than Zhulu Real Estate. It is the second highest price among all other real estate companies."

   Sure enough, Li Jiacheng of Changshi still chose another offer from time and space, 300 million Hong Kong dollars.

"But it's useless. For these two projects this time, you can't win the bid with money. There are other factors. You can see that Landmark is only 30 million less than Zhulu Real Estate and 20 million less than Cheung Kong. It’s just ten thousand, I think this time, Landmark should win the bid!”

"I think so, although the scale of Zhulu Real Estate has already surpassed Landmark, but Jardine's influence in Xiangjiang, coupled with Chu Huan's complicated relationship with the Hong Kong government, this time Chu Huan may be going to return home in defeat! "

   "There is no way to do this. Hong Kong Land has been in Xiangjiang for many years, the relationship is complicated, and it is a British consortium. The Hong Kong government will definitely take care of it!"

.

  Chu Huan was sitting in the office of the Chinese Bank at this time, reading the contents of the newspaper, and asked He Bingguang who was opposite him: "When will the MTR company give the exact news?"

  He Bingguang said: "Three days later, the MTR Corporation will announce the winning company!"

  Chu Huan pondered for a while, and said: "So, there are only three days left for us?"

"That's right." He Bingguang nodded first, and then said: "However, Chairman, we have received news from Jiaku. In the past two days, many people have been contacting the board members of the MTR Corporation and Management!"

   "It seems that there are still many smart people in this world."

   Chu Huan was not surprised by this. What he could think of, other people can naturally think of it. The only difference is that he thought of it earlier, and the conditions proposed were more in line with the interests of the MTR Corporation itself.

   "They contacted theirs, we contacted ours, now all the cards are actually on the table, now it's up to who has the most attractive cards!"

  Chu Huan told He Bingguang to say.

  Chu Huan has already paved a way for Zhulu Real Estate and helped them get on the line. What remains to be done depends on whether people like He Bingguang are worthy of the labor he gives them so much every year.

  He Bingguang nodded seriously: "Chairman, please rest assured, this time we will definitely make those people look at us with admiration."

  Nowadays, because of the discussion on the development rights of the property above the subway station Central Station and Admiralty Station, He Bingguang and others naturally heard it.

  When they heard that everyone turned a blind eye to their efforts, and attributed the success of Zhulu Real Estate to the support of Chu Huan's huge amount of funds to discuss the current status, He Bingguang and others also held their breath.

Chu Huan smiled and said: "Then I don't worry, you have to know that everyone who saw me in the past two days told me that it is very difficult for Zhulu Real Estate to win this project, and now I want to see you Can you fight me for this!"

  He Bingguang looked serious, knowing that this time it was no longer a simple competition for a project, but a competition for Chu Huan and for Zhulu Real Estate.

.

  That night, Chu Huan appeared at the Five Sacred Mountains Club in Xiangjiang.

   It was Guo Bingxiang and Zheng Jiachun who made an appointment with Chu Huan today.

   "A Huan, you are really big, you are 50 million more than our two companies!" Guo Bingxiang said with a smile after seeing Chu Huan.

  Sun Hung Kai and New World also participated in the bidding, but the bids of the two companies were not very high, only 260 million Hong Kong dollars!

  After Chu Huan sat down, he teased the two of them and said, "Tell you two, don't try to learn any business secrets from me. We are competitors now, do you know?"

  Zheng Jiachun said nonchalantly: "Now that the announcement has been submitted, what's the secret? Looking at the situation this time, we are accompanying the prince to study, and it is very likely that it will fall on Landmark in the end."

  The two companies are not 100% concerned about this bidding. After all, the two companies are now doing their own things.

  Sun Hung Kai started to build their Sun Hung Kai Center this year, while New World is developing their New World Center. For them, being able to get this project is the icing on the cake, and it doesn’t matter if they don’t get it. There is no shortage of projects at hand.

  Chu Huan smiled and said to Zheng Jiachun: "Tell Zheng Bo, after this matter is over, I'm going to congratulate him!"

Zheng Yutong is also very popular recently. In an exclusive interview with Xiangjiang "North Pole" magazine, Zheng Yutong revealed that Xiangjiang's largest diamond importer is Zheng Yutong. Last year, Xiangjiang purchased a total of 800 million Hong Kong dollars in diamonds. Among them, Zheng Yutong's Chow Tai Fook monopolizes 30% of them, and is now the well-deserved diamond king of Xiangjiang.

  As for Xiangjiang's former "Diamond King" Liao Guichang, he can only be expected to come close.

  Zheng Jiachun said with a smile: "Okay, it just so happens that my dad has been talking about you recently, saying that he hasn't played cards with you for a long time!"

   Sha Dantong likes to play cards, the whole Xiangjiang knows, Chu Huan has played with him a few times, as for the what will be passed down to later generations, it has not yet seen the prototype.

   "Then it's a deal!"

  Guo Bingxiang saw Chu Huan's relaxed look, and asked curiously: "Ah Huan, why are you not in a hurry about the property development right above the subway station Central Station and Admiralty Station?"

Chu Huan leaned on the sofa, and said relaxedly: "I have answered this question many times during this time, and I really don't want to bring it up again, but since you two have a good relationship with me, let me tell you. You guys."

Guo Bingxiang and Zheng Jiachun didn't care about Chu Huan's attitude. Although they, like everyone else in Xiangjiang, think that it is not so easy to get this project to compete for real estate, but Chu Huan is best at making miracles .

  They also wanted to see what Chu Huan was thinking.

"It's very simple. In fact, the reason why everyone thinks that Zhulu Real Estate has little hope in this matter is because of my personal relationship with the Hong Kong government. I will not explain this, but our company has now put everything we can into I have done all the things, as for the result later, I can only do my best and obey the destiny.

  I can't tie up those people in the Hong Kong government and let them agree to our company's winning the bid, right? "

  Chu Huan did not tell the real situation of his company, not because he did not believe Guo Bingxiang and Zheng Jiachun, but simply because the current behavior is a commercial behavior.

  Guo Bingxiang and Zheng Jiachun looked at each other. They both knew that Chu Huan hadn't told the truth, but they also understood the key point, so they didn't ask anymore!
