Black stand-up collar sweater, light green jacket, paired with a pair of casual trousers, plus neat short hair, if you don't consider Xu Yi's love brain, at this time she is properly dressed in a super golden collar in Central.

  As the general manager of Jiaku, the manager of the secretarial department, and Chu Huan's full-time secretary, Xu Yi is the super golden collar in Central. Her one-year labor exceeds that of the general managers of many listed companies.

In August of this year, Xiangjiang "Sing Pao" selected the ten most powerful women in Xiangjiang today. Xu Yi ranked fifth and was the only one selected as a migrant worker in this list. As for the number one Of course it is the chairman of the Empire Fashion Group, Chu Huan's wife, Cao Yunshang.

   "How is the situation at Hehe International-Wheelock?"

  Chu Huan asked Xu Yi.

Xu Yi sat across from Chu Huan, and said: "Everything is going well. After all, the management of these two companies was reformed by our company's operation department and others. Now Qiao Yuehan is helping to take over. In addition to the chairman's announcement of the ten billion apartment plan yesterday, the whole process is going smoothly!"

  Chu Huan raised his forehead slightly. In the first place, Qiao Yuehan was asked to lead the reform of the operation department of Jiaku. The two companies were actually preparing for the present.

   "But boss, Qi Dezun has left the consortium now. As the saying goes, a snake without a head can't do it. You should also appoint a manager for this consortium now!"

  Xu Yi suggested to Chu Huan.

As one of the four major consortiums in Xiangjiang, the size of Hehe International-Wheelock is scary, and to a certain extent, it is even more complicated than the structure of the Jiaku Department. It is really because of their subsidiaries and shareholdings. There are too many companies. Without a strong leader, it is impossible to control this consortium.

  Chu Huan asked Xu Yi: "Do you have any suitable candidates?"

Xu Yi didn't give in, so he thought for a while and said: "I think the manager of the company's operation department, Joe John, is the most suitable candidate. He was the one who led the company's operation department to reform the two companies. It can be said that the entire The company knows the consortium best is Manager Joe John.”

  Chu Huan smiled and said, "Why didn't you talk about yourself?"

Xu Yi said helplessly: "Boss, I still know my own ability. If you let me take charge of a small-scale company, there should be no problem, but the size of Hehe International-Wheelock is too large. Yes, and according to your plan, the boss, the company still has a lot of things to do. If you want to complete your plan in a short period of time and accept the smooth acceptance to straighten out the internal relationship of this consortium, except for Joe John, I really can't think of anyone else."

Chu Huan asked: "If Joe John goes to Hehe International-Wheelock, then there will be a lack of a manager in the company's operation department. In addition, there will be Liang Risi who has left the public relations department, and the newly established real estate project investment department. These three departments also need very suitable candidates, have you discussed this matter with Wan Qiaobo from the personnel department?"

  Xu Yi said: "Not yet, the main reason is that the company has been too busy recently, and we haven't had time yet."

  The appointment of the manager of the armory department is already a very important matter, but Xu Yi still told Chu Huan that they are too busy to think about this matter, which shows how busy she is during this time.

   Chu Huan also knew about the company's recent situation, but he didn't criticize Xu Yi in this matter.

   "The company won't have any major issues in the next period of time. Make sure this matter as soon as possible, and then hand me the list of candidates!"

After completing the acquisition of Hehe International-Wheelock, for Chu Huan, one of the two most important things in the second half of this year has basically been completed. It was only after Yugang met that the specific time could be determined.

   "Okay, within a week, hand over this list to the chairman." Xu Yi said.

  Chu Huan nodded slightly, and asked another question: "Has Kelly called recently?"

Some time ago, Kelly called in North America, talking about Disney. Although Vertex Pictures has acquired Disney, the problems they are facing now are somewhat similar to those faced by Liang Risi when he took over TVB, and even more severe. .

  Because of Chu Huan's existence in Xiangjiang, no matter how many internal factional disputes there are at TVB, they are all under Chu Huan's control, and TVB can't possibly turn the world upside down.

   But Disney is different. As one of the largest film production companies in North America, coupled with their amusement park, the internal relationship is even more complicated.

   And one more thing to consider is the Jewish power in Hollywood.

   This is a force that everyone knows Hollywood has but can't see. It is not an exaggeration to say that this force really rules Hollywood.

  For example, the great director Spielberg, who is now famous in Hollywood, released "Star Wars" in North America, which became popular throughout North America. The director George Lucas, who set multiple box office records, is Jewish.

   And there are many Jewish high-level executives in Disney. Even if Vertex Pictures has acquired Disney, the resistance it faces is very serious.

  During this period, Kelly often called Xiangjiang, hoping that Chu Huan could take some time to go to North America to discuss how to deal with this matter.

   Regarding this matter, Chu Huan admitted that he took it for granted. At first, he thought that as long as he bought Disney wholly, there would be no such problem, but looking at it now, the situation is still different.

  Thinking about Sony’s acquisition of Columbia and the fact that it was reluctant to let go in the end, you can know the resistance.

  Xu Yi said: "I have indeed called several times, boss, it seems that things in North America are a little anxious!"

Chu Huan thought for a while, and said: "There is no such rush, as long as the basic disk of Vertex Pictures is still there, we can always find a solution for the rest. During this time, you asked Kelly to send me some over there. I need to have an understanding of the situation over there before I can come up with a solution, otherwise even if I pass now, it will be useless!"

  Xu Yi nodded, she had no good way to deal with this matter, Chu Huan was already the undisputed number one in Xiangjiang with her current strength.

  A lot of things can be solved just by Chu Huan's name, but the situation in North America is definitely different.

  Although Chu Huan belongs to the Raptors Crossing the River, the power over there is also intricate, not much worse than his boss.

"In addition, except for Kyushu Electronics and Yunhai Chain, you notify the heads of each of the companies under your company to make a complete report on the company's development over the past few years. After the Chinese New Year this year, I will meet them in Los Angeles and start A company-wide meeting!"

With the completion of the acquisition of Hehe International-Wheelock, Chu Huan's commercial layout in Xiangjiang actually only has the banking industry and the acquisition of another company. Many, especially after joining Hehe International-Wheelock, there will be a lot of business overlap, coupled with Chu Huan's plan for the future, this overall meeting needs to be well organized.

  Xu Yi was a little excited after listening, and said with a smile, "Are you going to Los Angeles?"

  Chu Huan nodded and said: "If you are in Xiangjiang, you will have a lot of trouble and you will be stared at by a lot of media. Why not go to Los Angeles, which is also an opportunity for you to travel at public expense from the company."

   "Thank you boss!" Xu Yi said happily.

  Being Chu Huan's full-time secretary allowed Xu Yi to gain wealth and fame that he never dared to imagine before, but Xu Yi only lost one thing, and that was free time.

  She hasn't given herself a vacation these years, so she can just take advantage of this meeting to relax herself.

"By the way, boss!" After the excitement, Xu Yi talked about other things with Chu Huan: "With the company's acquisition of Hehe International-Wheelock, many magazines have sent applications, hoping to do it for you, the chairman. An interview, there are many interview applications from world-class financial magazines in Japan, Europe, North America and other places, would you like to take a look?"

  Chu Huan shook his head and said: "No need, please help me to refuse. If there is such a thing in the future, there is no need to report it, and all of them will be rejected."

  Yesterday, Chu Huan made too much limelight, but there is no way to do it, especially the tens of billions of apartment plans. This matter must be announced by Chu Huan himself, and no one can replace it.

   But this is also inconsistent with Chu Huan's original intention of sinking his own industry and influence.

  So Chu Huan will continue to keep a low profile.

   "By the way, this time, keep a close eye on those magazines, and don't let them be investigated like Fortune did last time!"

Chu Huan thought of the last time his net worth was blown up. The last time he was careless, let "Fortune" expose part of his net worth. Now this kind of thing can't happen again, otherwise, what Chu Huan gained will be Not flowers and applause, but hostility and targeting from all over the world.

  Xu Yi also knew the seriousness of this matter, nodded and said: "I'll tell Manager Lin later, and let their security department keep an eye on this matter!"

  Chu Huan nodded.

  Xu Yi continued to speak: "Boss, now that the Hong Kong government has compromised, why don't we strike while the iron is hot and announce that Kyushu Electronics and Yunhai Chain are also your industries?"

Chu Huan waved his hand and said: "There is no need for this. These two companies are developing very well in a low-key manner. If nothing else happens, let them continue to develop like this. If it is made public, apart from releasing themselves Roasting on the fire will not do any good!"

  Xu Yi thought about it for a while, so he stopped talking about it.

   Then Xu Yi reported to Chu Huan about other things that happened in the company recently, and after Chu Huan gave replies one by one, Xu Yi left Chu Huan's office.

  At noon, Chu Huan settled his lunch in the office, and in the afternoon, he began to receive the bosses of various real estate companies in Xiangjiang.

   The matter of Zhulu Real Estate’s withdrawal from the Xiangjiang residential market has not yet passed. Everyone hopes that at this time, they can negotiate with Chu Huan on some development projects in advance.

  For this kind of requests, Chu Huan gave all of them to He Bingguang and Lu Qi. As for those who sought financial support, Chu Huan personally met them.

   There is no way, the real estate project investment department of Jiaku has not been formally established yet, if these things are left to Xu Yi to be responsible, it is estimated that in a few days, I will have to go to the hospital to visit Xu Yi.

  But this also indirectly proves the importance of this real estate project investment department.

  Now everyone just has an idea. If you want to make a real investment, you still need a series of procedures such as submission of applications, on-site inspections, policy supervision, etc.

   When it was time to get off work in the afternoon, Chu Huan received a call from Guo Bingxiang.

   "A Huan, do you have anything to do tonight? Let's sit down at the Five Sacred Mountains Meeting. At the same time, we also have some things that we want to discuss with you!"

  The people Guo Bingxiang talks about are actually the little league around Chu Huan.

   "Not tonight, I have an appointment and I can't do it tomorrow either, tomorrow I will hold a farewell dinner for Qi Dezun, the day after tomorrow, I have time backstage at night, I will invite everyone!"

  Chu Huan looked at his timetable, and then preached to Guo Bingxiang.

Hearing Chu Huan's reply, Guo Bingxiang was also helpless. They were also very interested in Chu Huan's decision to let Zhulu Real Estate withdraw from the Xiangjiang residential market, and hoped to have more cooperation, but they also understood that this Chu Huan will definitely be very busy for a while.

   It is already a very good thing to see Chu Huan the day after tomorrow.

   "Okay, let me tell everyone, see you tomorrow night!" Guo Bingxiang said.

  Tomorrow night for Qi Dezun's farewell dinner, Guo Bingxiang and others will definitely be there, but the protagonist of tomorrow night is Qi Dezun, and such an occasion is not suitable for discussing serious matters, so we can only meet first.

"OK!"

  Chu Huan didn't greet them politely either. After exchanging a few simple greetings, he hung up the phone.

.

  It is located at No. 77 Deep Water Bay, in the parking lot of Bao Yugang's villa. Su Haiwen and Wu Guangzheng are waiting for Chu Huan in the parking lot.

   "Mr. Chu, welcome, my father has been waiting for you in the study for a long time!"

  Wu Guangzheng smiled and shook hands with Chu Huan.

  Chu Huan said with a smile: "Uncle Bao is too polite, I haven't thanked Uncle Bao properly for what happened yesterday!"

Su Haiwen and Wu Guangzheng introduced Chu Huan into the villa. It was obvious that Wu Guang was the main character in receiving Chu Huan this time, so he smiled and said to Chu Huan: "Chu Director, you are too polite. Chinese, and what Director Chu was doing yesterday was actually paving the way for our Chinese businessmen in Xiangjiang, plus the friendship between our two families, both public and private, we should try our best to provide Mr. Chu with the help we can."

  Chu Huan smiled. At this time, the three of them had arrived at Bao Yugang's study, and Bao Yugang also stood up and came to the door to greet Chu Huan himself.

"Haha, good job!" Holding Chu Huan's hand with his right hand, and patting Chu Huan's shoulder with his left hand, Bao Yugang said with a smile: "Ah Huan, you really did a good job yesterday. The people who hit them simply couldn't react in time, and finally fell into your rhythm!"

  Chu Huan said with a modest smile: "Uncle Bao, you are absurd. To be honest, I also bit the bullet and did it yesterday. If there is another way, I will not use such a radical method."

  Bao Yugang laughed and said: "It's nothing radical. In my opinion, some veterans in shopping malls can't do such a method. A Huan, you really deserve your reputation for your current achievements!"

   While talking, Bao Yugang invited Chu Huan to sit on the sofa, and he sat beside Chu Huan, while Su Haiwen and Wu Guangzheng sat opposite them.

   "A Huan, I invited you here this time because I want to ask you for some advice!"

  Bao Yugang didn't exchange too many pleasantries with Chu Huan. After sitting down, he preached straight to the point.

  Chu Huan said with a smile: "Uncle Bao just say what you want, so why don't you ask for advice!"

   As for Bao Yugang, Chu Huan has never underestimated him. This man became the richest man in Xiangjiang before Li Jiacheng, not only because of the help from HSBC, but more because of his own ability.

  Otherwise, there would be more people receiving help from HSBC, why only Bao Yu could become the richest man in Xiangjiang just now.

  At the same time, Bao Yugang's status as the world's shipping king also made him a guest of a head of state in many countries.

   It can be said that Bao Yugang's influence surpasses Chu Huan's in some aspects.

  Bao Yugang laughed, and said, "A Huan, it's not like the you I saw on TV yesterday for being so modest!"

  Chu Huan also smiled, not being humble.

   Then Bao Yugang talked to Chu Huan about the business.

"A Huan, I know that you have always been very pessimistic about the shipping industry. I also talked with Brother Cao before, and he also talked about your views on the shipping industry. I invite you to come here this time. I welcome you to tell me frankly about your views on the shipping industry."

  Chu Huan did not expect that Bao Yugang would talk to him about the shipping industry first. Originally, he thought that Bao Yugang wanted to tell him about Zhulu Real Estate launching the Xiangjiang residential market.

  But it is understandable when you think about it. At this time, Jiaku completed the acquisition of Hehe International-Wheelock, which made Chu Huan's industry suddenly include the shipping industry.

  In the past, Chu Huan didn't have the shipping industry in his hands, so he could comment on this industry very easily and independently of himself, but now Chu Huan is in this industry.

   Then can he have a new understanding of this industry, or continue to follow his previous ideas?

   "Uncle Bao, although Jiaku has acquired the shipping company of Hehe International-Wheelock, I am still not so optimistic about the future development of the shipping industry."

  Chu Huan preached with confidence.

Su Haiwen, who was sitting across from Chu Huan, frowned slightly, and said, "Director Chu, although the current international oil crisis has caused the price of oil to be unstable, we only need to increase our shipping costs according to the price of oil. As long as there is demand for goods in the world, it will be difficult to deal a devastating blow to the shipping industry, right?"

  Everyone can see where the oil crisis is, but why do most people continue to invest more assets in the shipping industry?

  Wheelock’s John Marden and his sons used to be like this, Dong Haoyun of Orient Shipping was like this, Guo Henian joined the shipping industry, and many shipping companies are like this.

   Don't these people see the oil crisis?

  These people have actually seen it, but they think the same as Su Haiwen. As the price of oil changes, our shipping costs will also change accordingly.

  The market determines the price!

  Chu Huan said: "Of course this is possible, but has Su Sheng ever thought that the most important thing to pay attention to in the shipping industry is the world situation, especially the situation between the two superpowers of North America and the Soviet Union!"

  In the study room, the faces of Bao Yugang, Su Haiwen, and Wu Guangzheng all changed a little. I didn't expect Chu Huan to have such thoughts.

   "A Huan, can you talk about your thoughts in detail?" Bao Yugang asked Chu Huan seriously.

Chu Huan said: "In fact, it is very simple. The competition between the two superpowers has reached its apex at this time. As they compete in all directions, I believe that there will be artificial market segmentation, and the two countries will also More resources will be invested in the military industry.

   At that time, the whole world will be affected, and the shipping industry is no exception. When the demand drops, what will happen? "

Bao Yugang subconsciously said: "Demand has dropped, but the shipbuilding fever in the world has not. In other words, there will be more and more ships in the future, but as the market shrinks, it will inevitably cause a crisis in the industry. The competition will become more intense, and if you want to survive, you must lower the price, but the price of oil will rise again, and the profit will naturally disappear."

  Chu Huan nodded slightly: "I think so, so I have never been very optimistic about the future development of the shipping industry, at least in the next ten years!"

  Bao Yu just finished listening, and said earnestly: "A Huan, this time your analysis is very inspiring to us, thank you very much for being able to tell us this time with all your heart."

  Chu Huan said with a smile: "Uncle Bao, you are being modest. I think you will be able to see this according to your ability. I am just icing on the cake!"

"Hey, this is not just icing on the cake, but a timely gift!" Bao Yugang waved his hand and said, "Ah Huan, since you are not optimistic about the future development of the shipping industry, can you help me see how our global shipping industry will transform in the future? Woolen cloth?"

  Chu Huan said: "Uncle Bao, you think too highly of me. I believe you must have plans for the future development of Universal Group."

  Bao Yugang laughed, and said: "It's not a high opinion. At this time, Xiangjiang can get your advice from A Huan, which is not something that Xiangjiang businessman can get."

Speaking of this, Bao Yugang paused for a moment, and said: "A Huan, let me tell you directly, I invite you here today, I just want to invite you to be my teacher once, and everyone says that you are in Lushan Mountain I don’t know the appearance of mountains, I feel a little bit like this now.”

Looking at Bao Yugang who is so sincere, what Chu Huan can say is that he can only say: "If Uncle Bao wants to put his foundation in Xiangjiang, there are only two points, finance and real estate, the financial uncertainty is too great. Strong, and Xiangjiang's financial market is still a bit small to be honest, it is only suitable for small-scale investment, and it is not suitable for Uncle Bao to put all his assets on it, so there will be only real estate left."

Bao Yugang nodded slightly, Chu Huan said the same thing as he thought, and asked, "Ah Huan, look, if it is transferred to real estate, is there any company that can accommodate Universal's size? "

  Chu Huan laughed, and said, "Uncle Bao, you are not simply asking for advice, but are inquiring about our company's next move!"

  Bao Yugang's face was also shocked. At this time, there are only a few real estate companies in Xiangjiang that can accommodate Universal's size.

   Now that Chu Huan said so, it was obvious that Chu Huan was also tempted by the company he was interested in.

  Bao Yugang is not worried if it is simply a competition with the other party, but if it is a competition with Chu Huan

  Is there anyone in Xiangjiang who has more cash than Chu Huan?

"A Huan, since you have already seen the crisis in the future development of the shipping industry, you should also know that our Universal is actually dancing on the edge of a cliff. If you are not careful, you may fall to pieces. Do you really have the heart? Look at me, this old guy, can't be guaranteed at the end of the festival?"

  Bao Yu just started to behave badly in front of Chu Huan.

   But Chu Huan didn't take Bao Yugang's misfortune to heart at all. The discussion just now, can be said to be a mutual discussion between the two parties without any interest relationship.

   But now that the respective interests of both parties have been involved, it is impossible for Chu Huan to really think about Bao Yugang.

  Chu Huan still has to consider his own interests.

At this time, Chu Huan also understood that Bao Yugang must be interested in Wharf, but he has been planning Wharf for a long time, and there is not enough time for Chu Huan to give up Wharf at this time. Benefits are out of the question.

   In addition, Chu Huan is also considering Bao Yugang's background in his hometown, and his brother-in-law is still very influential in his hometown.

At the same time, Chu Huan is also considering his own sinking plan. If he immediately attacks Wharf immediately after the battle with the Hong Kong government, will it really stimulate the Hong Kong government to make an overreaction? , and at this time the Hong Kong government, Jardine Matheson, and HSBC have formed an alliance of interests.

  Is there still a need for me to get Wharf?

  After thinking for a long time, Chu Huan couldn't give himself a suitable answer in his heart.

   "Uncle Bao, this matter has a big impact. I can't give you an accurate answer yet. I need a little time. Three days later, I will give you an answer in three days!"

  Since you haven't thought about the gains and losses, go back and hold a high-level meeting of the Jiaku, and everyone will discuss this matter together.

   As the saying goes, one person counts the short, two counts the long!

  Bao Yugang never thought about such an important matter, Chu Huan was able to give an answer now, and said with a smile: "Okay, I'm waiting for good news from you, A Huan!"

   "It's not necessarily good news!" Chu Huan laughed.
