Chapter 614 Entering the core business circle of Japan

   "The most important task of Japan Koku this year is to own a commercial building of its own in the port area!"

  With the size of Japan’s Jiaku in the Japanese business world, until now Japan’s Jiaku does not have a commercial building of its own, this is unreasonable!

  So on the second day, when Chu Huan continued to hold a meeting for Japan's Jiaku, he set an important goal.

Although Japan's housing prices will definitely drop in the 1990s, according to the size of Japan's Jiaku, it will definitely be impossible to leave Japan at that time, so this building can no longer be simply used for commercial value. to measure.

  It is the symbol of Japanese Koku in Japan.

   As for the Plaza Accord in 1985, Chu Huan will naturally have a way to deal with it.

  For Chu Huan's decision, Wu Xiaoshi absolutely supports it with both hands. Now the Japanese Jiaku is still a rented office space. For the Japanese Jiaku at this time, the office environment has already begun to be stretched.

   "Okay, I will keep an eye on this matter, and when I have a specific and suitable place, I will report to you, the chairman."

  Wu Xiaoshi smiled and said.

  Chu Huan nodded in satisfaction, and then continued to hold meetings with the rest of the people to discuss the future development of each company.

   After another day of meetings, Chu Huan finally finished speaking to the Japanese Jiaku executives about the group company's development plan for the next year.

.

   "Tsu-san, Mr. Yoshiaki Tsutsumi from Seibu Group is here, and he is waiting for you in the reception room!"

  After Chu Huan returned to his manor in Shibuya District, Anhui Tanaka preached to Chu Huan.

  Chu Huan looked at the sky outside, smiled and came to the reception room, and saw Tsutsumi Yoshiaki sitting here.

  At this time, Yoshiaki Tsutsumi did not have the unrestrained spirit of the Palace Club, but more domineering. This is the self that Yoshiaki Tsutsumi showed to the outside world.

   "Chu Sang!"

   "Mr. Die!"

  After Chu Huan and Tsutsumi Yoshiaki shook hands, they sat down separately, and Tanaka Yasuki came in and began to make tea for Chu Huan and Tsutsumi Yoshiaki.

   "Chu Sang, the last time we met, I didn't properly congratulate you on your work in Xiangjiang. This time, I will borrow flowers to present Buddha and replace wine with tea to express my congratulations to you!"

When the outside world mentions Yoshiaki Tsutsumi, they will always say that this person is domineering, but in fact, when Yoshiaki Tsutsumi faces people of the same level as him or higher than him, he will still uphold the habits of the Japanese, Quite humble and low-key.

Xiangjiang at this time is indeed inferior to Japan, but Chu Huan, as an alternative to Xiangjiang, is already the number one person in Xiangjiang at this time, plus the financial strength that Chu Huan showed in the acquisition of Ford Motor shares before , ability, Tsutsumi Yoshiaki admires very much.

   "Mr. Di is too polite!"

  Chu Huan smiled and preached with Tsutsumi Yoshiaki.

  Then, the two mentioned the meeting. Chu Huan wanted to ask Tsutsumi Yoshiaki for something, and Tsutsumi Yoshiaki also wanted to ask Chu Huan for help.

   "Chu Sang, I came here this time to ask you something!"

   After finishing speaking, Tsume Yoshiaki knelt there and bowed to Chu Huan.

  Chu Huan said: "Mr. Di, we are not only business partners, but also very good friends. If you have anything to say, just say it. As long as it is within my ability, I will definitely help you!"

  When Tsui Yoshiming heard what Chu Huan said, a smile appeared on his face immediately, and then he was not polite, and told Chu Huan about his situation: "It's like this."

  The problems encountered by Yoshiaki Tsutsumi are actually the problems that every boss of a listed company will encounter.

As for the real estate industry in Japan, Yoshiaki Tsutsumi is extremely firm because of the gains he made at Haiyun Real Estate. Land prices in Japan will definitely increase, so Yoshiaki Tsutsumi decided to hoard a large amount of land in Japan to build his own Future tourism hotel business.

   But such a situation will cause the group to invest a large amount of cash in purchasing land. In addition, the land price in Japan has been rising. The Seibu Group board of directors controlled by Yoshiaki Tsutsumi raised objections to Yoshiaki Tsutsumi's decision.

   "Chu Sang, I very much hope that you can increase your shareholding in our Seibu Group and officially join the Seibu Group's board of directors, so that with your support in the board of directors, I will implement my plan more smoothly!"

   Facing the request made by Tsutsumi Yoshiming, Chu Huan was a little confused to be honest. Those real estate companies in Xiangjiang hoped that he could become a shareholder of their companies, Chu Huan could understand.

  After all, where is Chu Huan's influence in Xiangjiang? As long as Chu Huan takes a stake in the company, the company's stock will definitely be touted by shareholders, and it is obvious that the stock price will increase.

  That's why Chu Huan was able to successfully hold the stocks of many real estate companies.

This is just like Buffett in later generations. Countless investors will watch Buffett closely to see which stock he bought. If he buys it, the stock price of that stock will definitely increase in a short period of time. of.

  Even taking a photo of having lunch with him can make the stock price of his company soar.

   But Chu Huan's influence is in Xiangjiang. Although Chu Huan's reputation is not small in the current Japanese business world, it is not certain how much influence he has.

   After all, although the Japanese Jiaku makes money, it is low-key, and many people do not know the specific situation of this group.

  And now Yoshiaki Tsutsumi still hopes that he can join the board of directors of Seibu Group, isn't he worried that he will seize power?

   "I have studied Chu Sang's investment in Xiangjiang, and I have to say that he takes good care of his friend Chu Sang. Even if it is a holding company, it is still managed by the original management."

   "Mr. Tsutsumi wants me to hold Seibu Group?" Chu Huan couldn't help interrupting Yoshiaki Tsutsumi's words.

   "Of course not!" Tsutsumi said immediately.

In the end, Yoshiaki Tsutsumi took a fancy to the cash in Chu Huan's hands. He believed that Chu Huan would be able to buy some of Seibu Group's shares in the stock market, and then use this part of the shares to enter the Seibu Group's board of directors, and then stand firmly on his side. On this side, I support Yoshiaki Tsutsumi's plan for the future development of Seibu Group.

After Chu Huan understood Tsutsumi Yoshiaki's meaning, he simply pondered for a while, and then said with a smile: "If that's the case, I have no objection. Now I hold 2.7% of Seibu Group's shares in my hand. As long as After purchasing 2.3% of the shares, you are eligible to join the Seibu Group’s board of directors, which is very easy to do.”

Without this conversation between Yoshiaki Tsutsumi and Chu Huan, Chu Huan would definitely have noticed and caused some panic based on the influence of Seibu Group in Japan when he bought 2.3% of Seibu Group's shares in the market, and Under such circumstances, it is impossible for Chu Huan to join the board of Seibu Group.

  But if Chu Huan and Tsui Yoshiaki had discussed this matter in private, then the rest would be easy.

  Hearing what Chu Huan said, the smile on Tsutsumi Yoshiaki's face became brighter and brighter, "If that's the case, I'm really grateful to Chu Sang!"

"Mr. Di, you are too polite. As I said before, we are business partners and very good friends. What's more, I am very optimistic about your plan. Those on the board of directors of your company, I can only say , you have met a group of partners with very average abilities!"

  Chu Huan said with a smile.

  The current market value of Seibu Group is about 5 billion U.S. dollars, and it can reach more than 160 billion U.S. dollars at its peak, which is 32 times the income. Chu Huan has no reason to give up such a good investment opportunity.

The deal with Yoshiaki Tsutsumi is actually to get what they need. Chu Huan is interested in the future development potential of the Seibu Group, and Yoshiaki Tsutsumi is interested in the cash in Chu Huan's hands, and under the current circumstances, he thinks that Chu Huan will not do anything to Seibu Group. Group poses no threat.

  Actually, Yoshiaki Tsutsumi also thought about cooperating with other groups in Japan, but after careful consideration, Yoshiaki Tsutsumi denied his own idea.

  The person who can become the director of Seibu Group in Japan must be a very influential person. Maybe the two parties can cooperate with each other at the beginning, but what if there is a dispute in the future?

   Isn't this introducing an opponent of your own?

  Chu Huan is different!

   First of all, Chu Huan is rich. With this, the obstacle for Chu Huan to become a director of Seibu Group is basically cleared away.

Secondly, Chu Huan's power is in Xiangjiang, not Japan. According to his influence in Japan, he can easily control Chu Huan. Completely prevail.

  So a partner who is rich and has no influence on his rights, in Tsume Yoshiaki's view, Chu Huan is his perfect partner!

  Of course, if Tsutsumi knew about Chu Huan's secret plan, or saw Zhong Zenggen Kang Hong's resurgence, he would definitely not think so.

   "Mr. Di, said a request, I also have a request now, I hope you can help me!"

  Now that Tsutsumi's story is over, Chu Huan will naturally talk about his own.

  Ji Yiming, who had just received Chu Huan's promise to help, naturally said nothing at this time, and said: "Chu Sang, please tell me, I will definitely do my best!"

  Chu Huan nodded slightly, and said, "Actually, this matter is about Mr. Di Qinger."

   Tsutsumi frowned slightly. He originally thought that what Chu Huan was talking about was related to himself, but he didn't expect that what Chu Huan was talking about was actually about Ti Qinger, his half-brother.

The relationship between him and Di Qinger has always been somewhat tense because of the family property dispute. Although the relationship between the two parties has eased a little because of his help to Di Qinger before, it is really not so good to say how good it is. .

  But Chu Huan just agreed to help him, and it is impossible for Tsutsumi Yoshiaki to not know anything, so he refused Chu Huan's request first.

   "Chu Sang, please tell me, I will try my best to help!"

Chu Huan could also understand Tsutsumi Yoshiaki's attitude, and said with a smile: "The thing is like this, I know that Mr. Tsutsumi Seiji's Seibu Department Store's business in Xiangjiang is in cooperation with Zhang Yuliang's family in Xiangjiang. , my company has just completed the acquisition of Zhang Yuliang’s family’s business in Xiangjiang, so I would like to ask Mr. Di to discuss with Mr. Qinger Di, whether it is possible to sell the 49% equity of Xiangjiang Seibu Department Store to me?”

Xiangjiang Seibu Department Store is the product of the cooperation between Tsui Seiji and Zhang Yuliang. Zhang Yuliang holds 51% of the shares, and Japan Seibu Department Store Group holds 49% of the shares. However, Zhang Yuliang only holds the controlling stake, and the management right is handed over to Japan Seibu Department Store The group, now that Chu Huan has acquired all of Zhang Yuliang's properties in Xiangjiang, naturally he also wants to fully incorporate Xiangjiang Seibu Department Store into his company.

   In the future, it will be easy to find an opportunity to sell to Zhu Xiaozhao's Yunhai Chain without arousing suspicion.

   At this time, the Yunhai chain is no longer a separate convenience store business model.

  Its convenience stores, supermarkets, and department stores are all available, and its current business layout has begun in Southeast Asia.

   But its scale has already become the largest chain retailer in Asia!

After pondering for a moment, Tsumeyoshi said earnestly: "Chu Sang, it stands to reason that you have agreed to help me just now, and I should also agree to help you at this time, but the relationship between me and Tsuki Qinger, I think Mr. You also know it, and now I can only say that I will try my best to help you complete this matter, but I cannot give you a specific guarantee right now!"

Chu Huan was not disappointed with Tsutsumi's answer. As Tsutsumi said, Chu Huan still knew about his relationship with Tsutsumi, so this time he was just letting him try. If he succeeds, everything will be fine. well if it doesn't work

"Mr. Di, although the contract signed by Zhang Yuliang and Seiji Tsutsumi was that Seibu Department Store in Japan was in charge of Xiangjiang's Seibu Department Store, but I always hold 51% of the shares of Seibu Department Store, and the other side is Xiangjiang. Of course, If Mr. Tsutsumi Seiji is willing to sell his shares in Seibu Department Store, I will definitely give him a satisfactory price!"

  A stick, a sweet date!

   This is the feast that Chu Huan prepared for Di Qinger.

   North American Citicorp Bank holds Far East Bank, but it has no way to issue orders to the management of Far East Bank, but Chu Huan is different. As he said, there is Xiangjiang.

   It would be very easy for Chu Huan to deflate Seibu Department Store Group.

   Tsutsumi Yoshiaki didn't have any opinion on Chu Huan's strategy, and said with a smile: "Chu Sang, don't worry, I will definitely express your meaning!"

   "Thank you!"

  After the conversation between the two, Tsutsumi Yoshiaki left here with a satisfied heart.

"Boss, Yoshiaki Tsutsumi is a very domineering and capricious person according to the analysis of the company secretary department. I just checked. According to the current market value of Seibu Group, if we want to buy 2.3% of Seibu Group in the stock market shares, then US$115 million is needed, which is enough to acquire a listed company in Xiangjiang!"

  Wu Shuhan asked Chu Huan in confusion after Di Yiming left.

Chu Huan chuckled, and said: "It doesn't matter what kind of person Yoshiaki Tsutsumi is. The most important thing is whether the Seibu Group can grow and develop under the leadership of Yoshiaki Tsutsumi. I have no doubts about Yoshiaki Tsutsumi's future development plan for the Seibu Group. It is still very promising, with US$115 million, I think there should be a very good profit.”

  Wu Shuhan saw that Chu Huan was so determined, so he didn't say anything.

  Next day!

  After solving the matter of Japan's Jiaku, Chu Huan stayed in the villa in Shibuya District today and did not go out, but Chu Huan still has things to deal with.

  Ichiro Isoda of Sumitomo Bank came here today.

   And he came here this time because he actually wanted to ask Chu Huan something.

   Hanaoka Nanakura invited Ichiro Isoda to Chu Huan's study.

   "Chu Sang's life is really enviable, quiet amidst the hustle and bustle, and there are beautiful women by her side!"

  Ichiro Isoda sat down and preached to Chu Huan with a smile.

   "Mr. Isoda was joking, but he was just taking a break from his busy schedule!" Chu Huan said with a smile.

   "Chu Sang, we are good friends now, so I won't go around in circles anymore. I want to ask Chu Sang about two things when I come here this time!"

  Ichiro Isoda looked at Chu Huan seriously.

  Chu Huan smiled. When I came to Japan before, I basically had to take the initiative to find them. Now with the improvement of status, these people also started to contact me.

   "Isoda-san, if you have anything to say, just say it!"

Ichiro Isoda nodded and said: "Our partners in Xiangjiang received news that the Hong Kong government has an idea to open the restrictions on banks outside Xiangjiang entering Xiangjiang. Chu Sang has a huge influence in Xiangjiang. I don't know what the news is. not true?"

Xiangjiang has now become a financial center in Southeast Asia. If Xiangjiang really opens up the ban on overseas banks, it will be unstoppable to become a financial center in Southeast Asia according to Xiangjiang's geographical advantages. If Sumitomo Bank can enter Xiangjiang this time, then At that time, you can take advantage of Xiangjiang's geographical advantages to overlook your business throughout Southeast Asia.

   It can be said that this matter is very important to Sumitomo Bank.

And most importantly, with the changes in the situation in Huaguo, Japanese businessmen have already set their sights on Huaguo, but they don't know how to get in touch with their hometown for a while, and Xiangjiang is A nice skip!

   Although the current economic strength of Huaguo is still very poor, its large population, vast land, and rich resources are actually very important things for foreign businessmen.

  Under the economic and social environment, these businessmen have already understood that although opening up wasteland represents risks, it also represents a huge profit return if successful.

   Nowadays, Xiangjiang has become a springboard for many foreign businessmen who want to borrow. If they can enter the Xiangjiang market, they can overlook the entire Southeast Asian market and look forward to the future market of China.

   Ichiro Isoda saw this, that's why he came here in person today to confirm this matter with Chu Huan.

Chu Huan naturally understands Ichiro Isoda's thoughts. Regarding Ichiro Ichiro's question, Chu Huan did not hide anything. Xiangjiang's release of overseas financial control is already a certainty, even if he can't get the answer from here , Ichiro Isoda must have a way to get the answer elsewhere.

   So no need to hide.

   "Alder Commercial Bank has already started to operate this matter!"

   Ichiro Isoda knew that Chu Huan owned Alder Commercial Bank in North America.

  Hearing what Chu Huan said, Ichiro Isoda was instantly excited. If he was still a little confused before, now that he got this answer from Chu Huan, basically, the matter is already settled!

"Thank you Chu Sang!" Ichiro Isoda first thanked, and then continued to ask: "My friends, tell me that Chu Sang has repeatedly expressed in Xiangjiang that he is not very optimistic about the future development of the shipping industry. I wonder if this is true? "

  Japan's shipping industry is also an important business in their own country at this time. Last year, when the Gibson Ship Brokerage Company ranked the top ten ship kings in the world, Bao Yugang ranked first.

   The second place is Japan Sanguang Shipping, and the fourth place is Japan Shipping.

  It can be seen that this industry is also very important to Japan, and Sumitomo Bank is also one of the important partners of these two shipping companies, although it is not as close as Mitsubishi Bank and Industrial Bank.

  At the same time, Japan Shipping is also an important partner of Bao Yugang. Bao Yugang's management on the ship is actually different from other ship kings.

  Most of the other ship kings buy ships and operate them themselves. The representative of them is Dong Haoyun’s OOCL.

  But Bao Yugang is not. After buying most of the ships of Global Shipping, Bao Yugang directly leases them to the shipping company of the local country, which also avoids a lot of risks.

   After all, Bao Yugang signed a long-term ship leasing contract with the other party. Even if there is a problem with the freight, it is the shipping company that needs to bear the risk, not Bao Yugang's global shipping.

  But this does not mean that Bao Yugang can sit back and relax.

  Just like the Nippon Shipping Company just mentioned, this company will encounter a financial crisis this year, and there was news that it might go bankrupt.

If the Japanese steamship goes bankrupt, the leasing contract signed by Bao Yugang and the other party will naturally be useless, and Bao Yugang will take over the ship that he previously leased to the Japanese steamship, and the pressure will naturally come to Bao Yugang on the body.

Chu Huan has repeatedly stated in Xiangjiang that he is not optimistic about the future development of the shipping industry, and Ichiro Isoda, as the financial giant who pays the most attention to Chu Huan in Japan, naturally knows about this matter through other channels, so this time Isoda Ichiro would have such a question.

  Japan not only has Japan Sanko and Nippon Shipping, a shipping company that operates ships, but also Japan is one of the largest shipbuilding bases in the world, and many top ships come from Japanese shipyards.

  It can be said that if the shipping crisis really occurs, Japan will definitely be hit hard!

Chu Huan nodded and said, "I'm really not optimistic about the future development of the shipping industry. Mr. Isoda is in Japan and is the general manager of Sumitomo Bank. I think you should know something about Japanese ships. ?”

Regarding the poor management of Japanese ships, it has been published in Japanese newspapers during this period. Although Chu Huan is resting and working in Japan these days, he has not forgotten to collect Japanese information. Regarding this news Still very impressed.

  Ichiro Isoda nodded solemnly: "That's true, so what is Chu Sang's view on the world's shipping industry?"

  Chu Huan told Ichiro Isoda what he said to Bao Yugang before.

After listening to Ichiro Isoda, he nodded seriously. Although he would conduct a thorough investigation according to Chu Huan's intentions, after Chu Huan's explanation, Ichiro Isoda still thought about many problems that he had never thought of before. Understood!

   "Chu Sang, no matter what the outcome of this matter is, I am personally very grateful to Chu Sang for telling the truth!"

  Ichiro Isoda thanked Chu Huan earnestly.

  Chu Huan smiled and waved his hands and said: "Mr. Isoda is too polite, and I am very happy to be able to help Mr. Isoda."

   Ichiro Isoda's question was answered, and Chu Huan naturally wanted to put forward his own ideas.

   "Mr. Isoda, I have a meeting in Koku these two days, and I have an idea that I want to discuss with Mr. Isoda."

  Ichiro Isoda nodded and said, "Chu Sang, please tell me!"

  Chu Huan said: "Huahai Real Estate, Haiyun Real Estate wants to make a second mortgage for the house, but I know the loan policy of Sumitomo Bank. The loan interest in this regard is higher than the first mortgage interest."

Ichiro Isoda understood immediately and said: "Huahai Real Estate, Haiyun Real Estate is a very honorable partner of our Sumitomo Bank. In this regard, please rest assured, Chu Sang. I will hold a meeting with the bank's board of directors to reduce the cost of the two companies. Interest on our bank's second mortgage!"

  Chu Huan smiled, this is his own purpose, and the two sides help each other, can this deepen the cooperative relationship between the two!

  But this is not the only thing Chu Huan discussed with Ichiro Isoda. Chu Huan still has another important matter to discuss with Sumitomo Bank.

  "Mr. Isoda, Alder Commercial Bank has been trying to find a way to enter the Japanese banking industry recently, but after investigation, we believe that if we want to enter the Japanese banking industry, we need to conduct more in-depth cooperation with Japanese commercial banks.

  So I personally think that our two banks can cooperate in Japan”

Chu Huan's idea is actually very simple. Although Chu Huan already has influence in Japan that others don't know, the financial industry is too important. The important thing is that Chu Huan now has influence in Japan. , It is very difficult to enter this industry, and even if you enter, you will face many problems.

   To solve such a problem, the best way is to find a cooperative bank in Japan.

  If Alder Commercial Bank enters Japan, it can seek a partner in the Japanese branch and let the other party take a stake in the Japanese branch of Alder Commercial Bank. In this case, many problems will be solved.

  In fact, many foreign banks in Xiangjiang also do the same.

   And the partner that Chu Huan is thinking about now is actually Sumitomo Bank!

".I hope that the banks of both parties can exchange shares with each other. In this way, Alder Commercial Bank can use the influence of Sumitomo Bank in Japan to smoothly enter the Japanese banking industry. At the same time, Sumitomo Bank can also use the influence of Alder Commercial Bank in North America. Influence, expand your business in Europe and the United States!"

  Chu Huan only wants to exchange the shares of the Japanese branch for the shares of Sumitomo Bank. As for the head office in North America, Chu Huan will definitely not let Sumitomo Bank become a shareholder.

  And when Japan's economic bubble bursts in the future, Alder Commercial Bank may even use its shares in Sumitomo Bank to officially enter Japan's top chaebol circle!

   Ichiro Isoda fell silent after hearing what Chu Huan said. He needs to think carefully about this matter!

   Also, Huangshan continues to code words~
