After three days of consideration, the second meeting between Chu Huan and Bao Yugang began.

   This time, Bao Yugang brought Su Haiwen and Wu Guangzheng to the Chinatown in person.

   "Uncle Bao, you are welcome!"

  Chu Huan stood up to greet him.

  Bao Yugang said with a smile: "A Huan, I came here this time with a feeling of gratitude. I haven't expressed my gratitude to you in person for joining Huahai Real Estate before!"

  Chu Huan smiled modestly: "Uncle Bao, you are too polite to cooperate with you, but what have I always thought!"

   "I believe we will have more cooperation opportunities in the future!" Bao Yugang said with a hint.

  Chu Huan laughed and said, "I think so too."

Hearing what Chu Huan said, a brighter smile appeared on Bao Yugang's face. After the two parties sat down, Bao Yugang asked Chu Huan: "So, about the Wharf, you already have a Have you decided?"

Chu Huan slightly raised his forehead and said: "That's right, after our company's internal discussions, we have reached a consensus. If Uncle Bao can agree to our company's request, then our company can withdraw from the acquisition of Wharf, and we will be in Bao's Uncle, you can provide as much help as we can in the next acquisition process, and from now on we only hold shares in Wharf and will not participate in the specific management of Wharf!"

  After Bao Yu just listened to Chu Huan's words, the smile on his face became serious, which was a little different from what he thought before.

  According to Bao Yugang's idea, he first bought all the Wharf stocks in Chu Huan's hands. Although he didn't know how many Wharf stocks Chu Huan had in his hands, it must be quite a lot.

   With these stocks, he can have the confidence to face Jardine directly, but now Chu Huan obviously does not want to sell the stocks in Wharf, but wants to hold them for a long time.

  Secondly, Chu Huan also wants to reach a certain kind of deal with himself, and this deal obviously involves Wharf. According to Chu Huan's current energy, the industry that can make him fall in love is definitely not a simple industry.

  Thinking of this, Bao Yugang's heart moved, and he thought of a possibility, and said, "A Huan, are you interested in the Modern Terminals Co., Ltd. of Wharf?"

  As a major cargo transportation center in the world's major port cities, Hong Kong's container terminal business has always been the top priority. In addition, this business is like rent collection for commercial buildings, and it is an industry with long-term stable revenue.

  Starting from the development of container terminals in Xiangjiang, Xiangjiang has a total of 9 container terminals in Kwai Chung in later generations, and now there are 5 container terminals in operation.

   Among them, Kwai Chung No. 1 Container Terminal No. 5 is owned by Xiangjiang Wharf, and Wharf established Xiangjiang Modern Terminals Co., Ltd. with these two container terminals.

  Container Terminal No. 2 and No. 3 were jointly bid by Japan's Dashan Shipping Company and North American Sea-Land Transport Company.

The remaining No. 4 container terminal was won by Whampoa Dockyard. At the same time, Whampoa Dockyard still has three sections of container terminal business in Hung Hom, North Point, and Kwun Tong. However, Whampoa Dockyard has put all its business in Kwai Chung No. 4 container terminal , As for the original location of the third-section container terminal, it is used as a land for future real estate investment reserves.

  Whampoa Dockyard used No. 4 Kwai Chung Container Terminal to establish Heung Kong International Container Terminal Co., Ltd.

In other words, among the three major container terminal companies in Hong Kong, apart from Kwai Chung No. 2 and No. 3 container terminals, which are jointly operated by Japan's Dashan Shipping Company and North American Sea-Land Transport Company, the rest are modern cargo from Wharf. Container Terminal Co., Ltd. and Whampoa Dockyard's International Container Terminals Co., Ltd.

  If he sold his container terminal company to Chu Huan after acquiring Wharf, then Chu Huan would actually initially monopolize Xiangjiang's container terminal business.

  The most important thing is that if this acquisition is completed, even if Chu Huan does not have a ship in hand, he can still have an impact on Xiangjiang Shipping Company.

Chu Huan slightly raised his forehead and said: "It is indeed the case. Although I am not very optimistic about the future shipping industry, it is undeniable that this industry will definitely not disappear, and you know, Uncle Bao, that there are many industries under my name. Many commodities are exported overseas, and if we can have a container business at the terminal, it will be very beneficial to our company’s business.”

  In Xiangjiang, 90% of cargo transportation is by sea, and the remaining 10% is air freight business. That is to say, no matter how difficult the world shipping industry is, the container terminal business will never have problems.

  Of course, when my hometown develops in the future, there will be countless ports. At that time, Xiangjiang’s container terminal business will definitely be affected, but that will be at least 30 years later.

"This is impossible!"

Bao Yugang rejected Chu Huan's request almost without much consideration. The acquisition of Wharf was indeed a major strategic decision of Bao Yugang to abandon the boat and land, but it did not mean that he had to give up the shipping industry completely. Adjust the development focus of the entire group and transfer the previous offshore business to land.

  The target of abandoning the boat and landing on Wharf is also because it has taken advantage of all the container terminal business of Wharf itself.

  Now Chu Huan actually wants to buy this business, which Bao Yugang would never agree to.

Chu Huan was not surprised by Bao Yugang's refusal. If it were him, he would not agree. Owning Modern Container Terminals is equivalent to owning at least three A-grade office buildings in Central, with a fixed annual income. How could it be so easy to give up.

   "What if we add Wheelock's Xialiwen development?" Chu Huan threw out his second bargaining chip to Bao Yugang.

  Harliman Development is the main real estate company under the name of Wheelock. It is responsible for the residential development of Xiangjiang Island and Kowloon. At the same time, it also owns a lot of high-quality land in these two places.

  This is quite a temptation for Bao Yugang who wants to abandon the boat and land.

But for Chu Huan, it is dispensable. Originally, Chu Huan had already decided to withdraw the company from the residential market in Xiangjiang, so the land held by Xialiwen Development and the projects under development were of great concern to Chu Huan. In terms of nature, it is not important.

   It just happened to be used to trade with Bao Yugang.

   Sure enough, after Chu Huan proposed the bait, Bao Yugang fell silent.

   On the one hand, he should increase his bargaining chip after abandoning the ship and on the other hand, the Modern Container Terminal Company, which has a stable and considerable income, made it difficult for Bao Yugang to make a choice.

  Sitting opposite them, Wu Guangzheng and Su Haiwen also had different thoughts.

Wu Guang really hoped that his father-in-law would agree to Chu Huan's deal. After all, according to the current development, he has been designated by his father-in-law as the successor of the real estate industry in the future. If the company acquires Wharf, If he can still get Xialiwen's development, then he will have more bargaining chips in his hand.

  Su Haiwen's idea is exactly the opposite of Wu Guangzheng's, but the reason is the same. He is now mainly in charge of the company's shipping business.

Now that the cold wave of the shipping industry that Chu Huan said has not yet come, his father-in-law has already begun to embark on a major strategic shift, which shows that the global shipping after he takes over in the future will definitely be much smaller than the current scale. If the container terminal business, which is the lifeblood of the industry, is all given up, then the industry he will accept in the future will be even smaller.

  But no matter what the two of them thought, since Bao Yugang was still alive at this time, the two of them would definitely not dare to say anything about this kind of thing, otherwise it would be too obvious.

   "I've heard it from others before, A Huan, you are very good at catching people's weakness. Now I have found out that the condition you gave is really hard for me to choose!"

  Bao Yugang smiled wryly at Chu Huan.

  Chu Huan said modestly: "Uncle Bao, you are absurdly praised. This is not due to me alone, but the conclusion reached by the company after analysis and discussion. I am just the one who brought it out in the end!"

Using Xialiwen Development to exchange Wharf's Modern Container Terminal Company is the conclusion reached by the Jiaku Negotiation Department after more than a dozen rehearsals in the past two days. This is the industry that Chu Huan is willing to take out now. Bao Yugang's most attractive industry.

  Bao Yugang thought about it for a while, and asked: "If I disagree with A Huan's deal with you, is there no way for us to reach a consensus on the acquisition of Wharf?"

  Chu Huan laughed, and said, "Uncle Bao, look at Harbor City, Zhulu Commercial Center, and the former site of Huangpu Dock. The combination of these three parties is equivalent to the commercial iron triangle of Tsim Sha Tsui East?"

  Bao Yugang, Wu Guangzheng, and Su Haiwen's expressions suddenly changed. They heard some thoughts about Chu Huan's development of the former Huangpu Dockyard from Chu Huan's words.

   "A Huan, you mean that you want to relocate the old site of Huangpu Dock"

"Uncle Bao, let's talk about Modern Container Terminals first. Although the Wharf stock I hold is not too much, it is very important for you to acquire Wharf and have the right to speak in Wharf. Great influence, and Wharf belongs to one of Jardine's wings, if possible, I don't think they will just watch Wharf being acquired by you like this.

   As long as this matter is made public, there will be a big battle between you and Jardine, and the vote in our hands will be very important.

The most important project of Wharf is their Harbor City, and after you, Uncle Bao, bought Wharf, the cooperation between us will become more profound. Global Shipping is the largest shipping company in Hong Kong. Even if it is Uncle Bao in the future You plan to lose weight, and I think you will definitely keep some. I can guarantee that if I can get the Modern Container Terminals company, then the treatment of the ships of the global shipping in the future will be the same as that of the ships of the shipping company of my father-in-law Cao Wenjin. the same. "

"Brother Cao has found a good son-in-law!" Bao Yugang said enviously: "Brother Cao was the first among the four of us to start slimming down our own shipping business, but he kept some ships, but now these ships are only They are responsible for the movement of goods under the armored warehouse system. Even if there is a cold wave in the shipping industry in the future, they don't have to worry about it. Only one armored warehouse system can feed those ships.

  I think this is also the reason, Ahuan, you have never really entered the shipping industry, right? "

  A lot of times, a lot of things are broken at one point.

  When Chu Huan was rising in Xiangjiang, many people didn't understand why Chu Huan hadn't done anything to the shipping industry.

  Especially many of Chu Huan's businesses are actually shipped overseas, but Chu Huan just doesn't develop his own shipping industry, and now Bao Yugang pointed out the reason.

   Because of Cao Wenjin!

  Since Cao Wenjin is already one of the four major ship kings in Xiangjiang, and there is no competition like other families within the family, they are harmonious.

   Then there is really no need for Chu Huan to do anything in the shipping industry, as long as he can guarantee the operation of the A-warehouse products.

  Chu Huan said with a smile: "Uncle Bao, you are too modest. Both Su Sheng and Wu Sheng are extraordinary talents. With their help, I believe that Uncle Bao's business will definitely get better and better in the future."

  Bao Yugang laughed and said, "It's natural."

  Wu Guangzheng and Su Haiwen, who were somewhat dissatisfied because of Bao Yugang's ridicule just now, the dissatisfaction in their hearts disappeared immediately.

   "Ah Huan, why don't you set a price for your Wharf stock, and I promise not to counter the price!"

   Dad has it, mother has it, it’s better to have it yourself!

Although Chu Huan has made it clear at this time that the stocks in his hands can be used to support Bao Yugang, Bao Yugang still wants to firmly hold the stocks in Chu Huan's Wharf warehouse in his own hands. In order to ensure that no matter what happens, the voting rights of these stocks are firmly in their own hands.

Regarding the cooperation between Chu Huan and several other companies, Bao Yugang has also heard about it. Although under the leadership of the current manager, Chu Huan did not participate in the management and operation of these companies, but in the matter of successors , have a different idea.

  Why did Li Xiaohe decide to give up TVB so easily? Isn’t it because he discovered that TVB will not be able to fall into the hands of their descendants in the future!

  Bao Yugang didn't want his company to encounter such a situation.

Chu Huan also knew Bao Yugang's thoughts, and said with a smile: "Uncle Bao, I am only optimistic about the future development of Wharf, and have never thought about holding shares. Moreover, after Uncle Bao bought Wharf, I can still sell part of it. Wharf stocks are for you, guaranteeing your controlling interest in Wharf.

  If you can't even agree to Uncle Bao, then I hope this matter won't affect the relationship between the two of us! "

   This is already the final bottom line that Chu Huan can give.

  If Bao Yugang can't accept it, then Chu Huan will have to accept Wharf by himself.

To be honest, Chu Huan doesn’t really want to give up Wharf. After all, Wharf’s Harbor City is attractive enough. Leaving aside the properties of Wharf Harbor City, it’s just the mall and commercial buildings inside, which can be given to Kowloon every year in future generations Warehouses bring tens of billions of Hong Kong dollars in rental income.

Bao Yugang also heard it, the bottom line in Chu Huan's heart, thought for a while and said: "Well, since you have explained the matter so clearly, A Huan, it's meaningless for me to say anything else. Your conditions are mine. accepted!"

  Chu Huan showed a reluctant smile, and said: "Uncle Bao, the timing you chose is very good. If it is a few years later, I will never give up the company Wharf!"

Another important reason for giving up Wharf now is that as I said before, after Chu Huan had just experienced a big battle with the Hong Kong government, he really didn't want to stimulate the sensitive nerves of the Hong Kong government at this time. .

Bao Yugang also understood the key point, and said with a smile: "A Huan, you are still young, and you have a long way to go in the future. I understand now that the shallow bay of the Xiangjiang River cannot accommodate a giant dragon like you." Yes, I believe that your achievements will definitely not stop there in the future!"

  Chu Huan said with a smile: "Then I will thank Uncle Bao first!"

  After the matter was over, Bao Yugang had no intention of staying here any longer. After chatting with Chu Huan and chatting a few words about homework with a smile, he took Su Haiwen and Wu Guangzheng and left.

  After Bao Yu left, Wu Shuhan, who was standing next to Chu Huan, said, "It's a pity to give up Wharf. Otherwise, Harbor City and Zhulu Commercial Center would be able to form horns."

Sitting on the sofa, Chu Huan hugged Wu Shuhan into his arms, and said with a smile, "There is nothing to be sorry about. Don't forget that there is a new world between Harbor City and Zhulu Commercial Center. If we really bring Kowloon The storehouse has been acquired, and the new world is caught in the middle, and Zheng Weng will probably have trouble sleeping and eating at that time!"

Wu Shuhan nestled in Chu Huan's arms, nodded, and said: "Indeed, my uncle also told me that in business, you can't keep everything for yourself. It's not unreasonable to lose money when the moon is full, and overflow when the water is full. "

Chu Huan nodded, and said, "Besides, Bao Yugang's acquisition of Wharf actually has another advantage. Now that Jiaku has become the benchmark of Xiangjiang, this is not a good thing, because everyone will pay attention to this benchmark. It is not a benchmark but a target.

   After Bao Yu just abandoned the boat and landed, we can relax a bit! "

As one of Jardine's development wings in Xiangjiang, Wharf's status is self-evident. At this time, Jardine only sees Chu Huan's Jiaku as their competitor. If there is another Bao Yugang, it will definitely disperse Jardine. Attention, and Chu Huan can also take advantage of this opportunity to focus on Zhidi.

  Nowadays, Chu Huan already has quite a few commercial buildings in Central, but compared to Landmark, it is still not as good as the situation in Central.

  So Chu Huan's real goal is Landmark, which is Jardine Harmony. A Wharf warehouse will not bring Chu Huan any qualitative leap.

  But if Chu Huan can acquire Jardine and Landmark, then Chu Huan's real estate layout in Xiangjiang has been truly completed.

   At that time, Nine Dragons, Xiangjiang Island, and Chu Huan will all have enough territory, and Zhulu Commercial Center can also replace Wharf as one of Chu Huan's wings in the Xiangjiang real estate industry!

  Wu Shuhan nodded and said, "I see."

Chu Huan continued to exhort: "The business has reached the point where we are, and we can no longer simply think that all benefits are our own. The reason why the Hong Kong government is afraid of us is not because of how much money I have in hand, but because of the money in my hand. We have more than 100,000 workers, that is to say, hundreds of thousands of people in Xiangjiang eat our food directly, and millions of people eat our food indirectly. This is our biggest trump card.

But what we are doing now is to let more people join in. In this case, at least half of the people in Xiangjiang are closely related to us. What is entangled! "

  Wu Shuhan nodded again.

.

  HSBC!

  Roy Bentley and Shen Bi were sitting in Taipan's office.

  In the past, Sha Ya sat in the seat of the big class, and Roy Bentley and Shen Bi sat opposite each other.

  Now that Sha Ya has left HSBC to live her retirement life, and Roy Bentley has taken Sha Ya's place, Shen Bi has no companions by her side either.

  Seeing such a situation, Shen Bi had mixed feelings in his heart.

   That seat should have been taken by myself.

   "How was your meeting with Li Jiacheng and Luo Yingshi?" Roy Bentley asked Shen Bi.

Shen Bi shook his head, and said dissatisfiedly: "It's not very good. After the previous defeats, Li Jiacheng obviously lost his previous ambitions, and he has more awe towards Chu Huan. When playing with him, I vaguely mentioned that I wanted to invite him to join our league, but Li Jiacheng refused on the grounds that the company wants to develop peacefully now!"

Regarding Li Jiacheng's choice, Shen Bi was helpless, and at the same time, he was a little angry in his helplessness. In the past, Li Jiacheng was firmly on his side, but now Li Jiacheng chose to be on Chu Huan's side. How could this make him happy? Well, even in Shen Bi's heart, he thought Li Jiacheng was a kind of betrayal!

"Don't worry. After all, our situation was not very good before. I have also met Li Jiacheng. He is indeed a rare business genius. Under such circumstances, he can still turn the tide and reverse the situation that Changshi must die. This is also the reason why Chu Huan is willing to invest in Changshi!"

   Roy Bentley preached.

Shen Bi raised his forehead slightly, and said: "I understand, I won't just give up on Li Jiacheng, it's fine now, we can let Li Jiacheng develop by clinging to Chu Huan's side first, and when he has more and more projects in his hands in the future, When his ambition is getting bigger and bigger, he will not be willing to develop under Chu Huan's big tree anymore, you must know that towering trees cannot grow under the big tree."

  Roy Bentley nodded slightly, and said, "Then what about the Luo Gryphon?"

  The last person Luo Yingshi found in Shen Bi was when Luo Yingshi was in Yingni, Qingzhou, and wanted to make a fortune, but Chu Huan found out about it.

   It directly led to the termination of the cooperation between the two parties. Thanks to Shen Bi's appearance later, it was considered that Luo Yingshi successfully got out of the predicament at that time, and Luo Yingshi also became a member of Shen Bi's camp.

  Unfortunately, Shen Bi was defeated in Nanshan and sent to Japan. Luo Yingshi hurriedly approached Roy Bentley, but it only eased the conflict with Chu Huan and did not get a real opportunity for development.

   "Luo Yingshi agrees with our plan very much, and hopes to join in!" Shen Bi said helplessly.

   Luo Yingshi joined, not because they believed in Shen Bi so much, but because Luo Yingshi had no other choice at all.

  After Chu Huan announced the establishment of the Jiaku Real Estate Project Investment Department, Luo Yingshi immediately found a project that could cooperate with Jiaku Real Estate. He found a piece of land and wanted to cooperate with Zhulu Real Estate to jointly develop it.

  But when submitting the application, I was told that this piece of land had been decided to be jointly developed with Huang Tingfang's Sino Real Estate.

   This is not because Zhulu Real Estate is deliberately targeting Luo Yingshi, but because the development plan given by Sino Real Estate is more in line with the interests of Zhulu Real Estate.

  But this didn't make Luo Yingshi accept it. He thought of Chu Huan's target against him before, and also thought of the phone call he made when Chu Huan was making a decision on TV.

  In that phone call, Chu Huan didn't expect to see him, but after he went, he found that basically all the real estate companies in Xiangjiang had arrived.

  Thinking of all this, Luo Yingshi decided that Chu Huan hadn't really reconciled with himself, and he couldn't find a really suitable development opportunity amidst Chu Huan's decisions.

   Just when Luo Yingshi was at a loss, Shen Bi found him, so Luo Yingshi agreed to Shen Bi's invitation almost without any hesitation.

  As for Shen Bi's helplessness, there is this point, and at the same time there is another point, that is, compared with Li Jiacheng's ability, Shen Bi is not very optimistic about Luo Yingshi's ability.

   But now they can't pick and choose. It's always good for someone to join.

   "Luo Gryphon's ability is average, but fortunately he has made some achievements, so he should help!" Roy Bentley also understands Luo Gripen's ability, so he can only preach like this.

  Shen Bi nodded and said: "I understand, when people like Xiangjiang see that we can make people like Luo Yingshi a top businessman in Xiangjiang, they will understand that our HSBC power still exists."

   "That's right!" Roy Bentley nodded slightly.

Later, Roy Bentley mentioned another name: "Compared to Luo Yingshi, I am still more optimistic about Chen Songqing. You should meet him again during this time and try to let him know about our cooperation. "

Shen Bi nodded and said: "Understood, I will not let outsiders know about our relationship with Chen Songqing in the early stage, and I found that although Chen Songqing is a first-time entrepreneur in Xiangjiang, I can feel from his words that this People should have a certain amount of energy overseas, but this person is very smart and understands that he can't play all his cards at once, so he didn't tell us, but this is not the most important thing.

   As long as Chen Songqing can develop in the future, it will definitely have a certain impact on Chu Huan! "

  Roy Bentley nodded and said: "I think so too. This is a competition that is bound to have a long timeline. The most important thing for us is not to be too impatient!"

"Ok!"
