In the following days, Chu Huan basically walked back and forth between his manor and the Santa Monica Beach Shell Hotel!

During this period of time, Chu Huan successively met with senior executives of Hehe International-Wheelock, including Joe John, to hear about the situation of Hehe International-Wheelock. It was a meeting of high-level managers from Europe and other regions to discuss.

  The whole process lasted for ten days, and the rest of the days were devoted to the meetings between the high-level executives of various branches under Jiaku.

  Wu Shuhan will show the summary of the meetings of these companies to Chu Huan every day.

  After finishing the meeting with Jiaku, Chu Huan met with Chen Haichao who came to North America again. This time, Chu Huan directly heard about Kyushu's situation in North America and Europe.

   When this is all over, it will be March 23rd!

   "Do you want someone to come over and give you a massage?"

Wu Shuhan was standing behind Chu Huan at this time, gently pressing Chu Huan's shoulders, but she also knew that her technique was definitely not professional. Inevitably there has been fatigue.

   "Alright, let's relax!"

  Chu Huan brought Wu Shuhan and the two to the spa room of the manor, where two young girls were already getting ready.

  Chu Huan and Wu Shuhan took off their clothes and lay on the bed, and the young girl started to massage.

   "Boss, Hua Electric's shares have been allocated, and Hehe International-Wheelock and Huaren Land each get half!"

There are two special companies under the name of Hehe International-Wheelock, both of which are not fully controlled by Chu Huan. One of them is the China Gas that Wu Shuhan is talking about now. Originally, China Gas had five major shareholders, namely Hehe International. Defeng, Jun Yicang, Li Mingze of the Li family, Li Fushu of the Li family.

However, later Hehe International acquired Junyicang, so Junyicang’s shares in China Gas naturally belonged to Hehe International, and then Hehe International acquired Wheelock, so Wheelock’s shares in China Gas naturally fell into Hehe International-Wheelock is on the body.

Now Hehe International-Wheelock owns three-fifths of the shares of China Gas, which has exceeded the shareholding requirements of China Gas as a listed public utility company. The shares held by China Gas were divided into two, and half of them were sold to Huaren Real Estate!

  The share distribution of Huaren Properties belongs to a different category among the companies controlled by Chu Huan.

  Because the major shareholder of Chinese Land is the Chu Trust Fund, this can also perfectly evade some laws of Xiangjiang.

   Another special company is the Xiangjiang Tunnel. This company is also a public listed company like China Gas, and it is impossible to be privatized. Its main business is the Hung Hom Tunnel in Xiangjiang

   There is a toll for passing through the tunnel!

  However, the largest shareholder of this company is not Wheelock, Wheelock can only be regarded as one of the major shareholders.

  Chu Huan was lying on the bed, and the young woman behind him had dripped essential oil on his back, and was massaging with moderate force.

After groaning comfortably, Chu Huan said: "After returning to Xiangjiang, tell Joe John that the transformation of Hehe International-Wheelock is urgent. When I return to Xiangjiang, I will work with him Where can I see the complete reform route!"

  Wu Shuhan was also lying there, and said: "Okay, I will keep an eye on this matter with Sister Xu."

  Before that, although the development of Hehe International-Wheelock covered many industries in Xiangjiang, its core business was still real estate, shipping, port, trade and other businesses.

  However, after Chu Huan carefully studied the business of Hehe International-Wheelock and made a comprehensive assessment of the business of other companies in Xiangjiang Jiaku, Chu Huan still decided to transform the business of Hehe International-Wheelock.

In terms of real estate, Hehe International-Wheelock will abide by the regulations set by Chu Huan in Hong Kong and give up the independent development of residential properties. As for the large amount of land reserved by the group, it will be re-evaluated and suitable for commercial development. The building, the site of the industrial building, will be developed independently or jointly with Zhulu Real Estate.

  The rest of the residential land will be used from time to time to cooperate with other real estate developers in Xiangjiang.

  In terms of shipping, the most important thing for these two companies is to sell their existing tankers in exchange for more cash.

Now that Chu Huan has invested in Japan's Kuishima Shipyard, in this regard, Hehe International-Wheelock will cooperate with Japan's Kurishima Shipyard. After all, with the cooperation of Kuishima Shipyard, one of the largest shipyards in Asia, it is also possible Sell ​​your oil tanker faster.

But at the same time, it is necessary to restart the previous business, just like Wheelock Shipping. The predecessor of this company is Xiangjiang Steel Industry Co., Ltd. Its main business is to dismantle ships and use the scrap steel after dismantling for the construction industry of Xiangjiang. .

   Now that Chu Huan has become a shareholder of Mitsui & Co., Ltd. in Japan, he has naturally entered the steel industry. The two parties will carry out new cooperation and re-develop Wheelock Shipping's steel business.

However, whether it is the current Xiangjiang or the future Xiangjiang, the market is too small. Coupled with the situation of Xiangjiang itself, it is definitely not suitable for a large MTR company. Therefore, in Chu Huan's plan, Wheelock Business will be an investment subject in the future, just like the development model of Xiangjiang Jiaku and Mitsui & Co., Ltd. in Japan. It is more likely to establish new steel companies in joint ventures with local governments in other regions, and to invest in local iron ore businesses.

  So Wheelock Shipping will change its name to Wheelock Steel in the future!

   Of course, for Wheelock Steel at this time, everything is still in its infancy. In a simple summary, there is a lack of people, equipment, and technology. The only thing that is not lacking is money!

During Chu Huan's meeting with Qiao Yuehan, he had already contacted Mitsui Takacho from the Mitsui family. Mitsui Takacho was also very interested in entering the steel market in Xiangjiang, but he also understood what the market in Xiangjiang was like. I still want to take advantage of the Xiangjiang market to look north to Shenzhou, and at the same time overlook the entire Southeast Asian market.

  So Mitsui Gaochang proposed the request for a shareholding. Chu Huan has no opinion on this point. After all, he has nothing but money on his side now. He needs the support of Mitsui & Co. in terms of equipment, technology, and talents.

  However, Chu Huan will not give Mitsui & Co. too many shares, and the main body of Wheelock Steel will still be Hehe International-Wheelock!

In addition, there is another company under the name of the original Hehe International, which has not been well-known before, but is valued by Chu Huan. That company is Xiangjiang Anderson Daya. This is a quarry and the largest quarry in Xiangjiang. mine.

  In fact, Anderson Daya was not founded by Hehe International, but was invested and founded by Xiangjiang Lu Zhihe. This Lu Zhihe was also one of the gambling kings who could be as famous as Ho Hongshen in Haojiang later.

  When Chu Huan acquired Hehe International and entrusted Qi Dezun to manage it on his behalf, Anderson Quarry Co., Ltd. was under the name of Hehe International at that time.

   Lu Zhihe's company was called Anderson Road Quarry at that time.

  Last year, Anderson Quarry went public and merged with Anderson Quarry Co., Ltd. of Hehe International at the end of the year. This is one of the few listed companies under the name of Hehe International-Wheelock.

In Chu Huan's memory, if there is no accident, Anderson Daya will be sold by a major shareholder in the board of directors this year. At that time, Lu Zhihe will suffer heavy losses, but it will also give Chu Huan has the opportunity to allow Chu Huan to fully control this listed company.

   At that time, Chu Huan will have CMB, KMB, China Gas, Qingzhou Yingni, Anderson Daya, Wheelock Steel, many lands in Xiangjiang and the shares of major real estate companies in Xiangjiang.

   And Chu Huan has become a veritable land king of Xiangjiang. The land king here is not talking about how much land Chu Huan owns, but that Chu Huan can truly dominate the real estate market of Xiangjiang.

   This naturally shows that the steel industry will gradually become the main business of Wohe International-Wheelock in the future, but this development process must be very long.

Then Chu Huan said to Wu Shuhan: "Taking advantage of this time, you and Xu Yi can figure out how much money we have that can be used. Besides Kelly and David Maxwell, we will also take part of it. Come out and get into the forex industry, but this time without using leverage!

  At the same time, allocate this money separately to operate in our investment companies, don't concentrate on operations! "

  Wu Shuhan nodded, and had no objection to Chu Huan's order.

In fact, there is a reason for Chu Huan to do this. Although Chu Huan also spent a lot of money last year, such as buying the Manhattan Center in New York to build the World Financial Building, the total investment of this project is 1.5 billion US dollars, but the initial stage is only a small amount. It cost Chu Huan only 500 million US dollars.

  Even with the cash lent to Murdoch, Chu Huan has at least tens of billions of dollars in cash in his hands at this time.

  If there were any financial magazines investigating Chu Huan at this time, they would definitely place Chu Huan as the richest man in the world without hesitation.

  It is definitely impossible to use all the tens of billions of dollars to invest in foreign exchange. The amount of money is too large. At most, Chu Huan spent two to three billion dollars to do this.

   In this way, different accounts and different countries should be used to do this, otherwise Chu Huan is likely to attract the attention of the North American government.

  Wu Shuhan smiled and asked Chu Huan: "Boss, how does it feel to be the richest man in the world?"

  Chu Huan didn't care too much and said: "I don't feel like it. Money is just a number at this time!"

  Actually, Chu Huan wanted to say that he had no feelings for money, but thinking about it, such a statement was too pretentious and easily punished by God, so Chu Huan decided to keep a low profile now.

  After the two of them massaged for a while, the two young women left the room. Chu Huan was still lying there, preaching to Wu Shuhan leisurely.

   "Contact Boeing and Italy's Faraday Group to order two top-level private jets and two luxury yachts!"

  Now that he has become the richest man in the world, Chu Huan thinks that he should also play the role of the world's richest man.

  Private jets and luxury yachts are naturally the standard equipment for the richest man in the world.

  Wu Shuhan didn't think much about it, nodded and said: "Okay, boss, do you have any specific requirements for these two products?"

  Chu Huan slowly turned over, and said with a smile: "Of course I want to enjoy it to the extreme!"

  Wu Shuhan also came down from her bed at this time, walked to Chu Huan's side barefoot, smiled brightly and said, "Got it!"

   It takes at least two or three years to manufacture privately-made planes and yachts like Chu Huan's, but Chu Huan doesn't care much about this, anyway, let's get it done first.

I was actually joking just now. Luxurious yachts are indeed used by Chu Huan to enjoy life, but private jets are not. With the current size of Jiaku, Chu Huan will definitely fly around the world in the future. With two The private jet was actually to better prepare for Chu Huan's trip.

As for why Gulfstream did not find a more professional manufacturer of private jets, firstly, because the other party’s current technology is definitely not as perfect as Boeing’s, and secondly, in the field of large private business jets, Gulfstream still has no way to compare with Boeing at this time. .

.

  As the capital of Hawaii, Honolulu is familiar to Xiangjiang movie fans because Zhou Xingchi's movie "The Variety Star" was filmed here in the early stage.

   For history lovers, there is another alias here that is more familiar to everyone. The Chinese are willing to call this place Honolulu!

   Liu Pingkui has brought the "Happy Ghost" crew here to start filming, and their main filming location is Chu Huan's manor in Honolulu.

   "Crack!"

In the garden of the manor, Liu Pingkui stopped the filming this time, and with a smile on his face, he said: "Alian, Ahong, your acting skills are getting better and better, and Brother Feng, your performance is even more fiery." Pure love!"

  After finishing this filming, today's filming task of "Happy Ghost" can be regarded as completed. The whole team is old and everyone is familiar with each other, so the filming went very smoothly.

It is not the first time that Chen Yulian and Zhong Chuhong have participated in "Happy Ghost". As the actresses who have participated in the most episodes of the entire "Happy Ghost" series, they have become the most popular among the young generation of Hong Kong through this series. female artistes, but this is also the last time they will appear in the "Happy Ghost" series.

  As for Hu Feng in the hearts of fans in the drama "Happy Ghost", there is such a saying that the beautiful girl of flowing water is the iron-struck Hu Feng.

  No matter how the heroine of this series changes, Hu Feng, the number one male, has never changed.

  By the way, Hu Feng is not only a signed artist of Black and White Video, but also a signed singer of Youyu Records. Surprisingly, his records sell very well.

   "Everyone will make their own arrangements for the rest of the time, but it's still the same sentence, no matter what you do, you must pay attention to safety, and contact the crew immediately if you have anything to do!"

   After Liu Pingkui told everyone again, he asked everyone to disband on the spot.

The staff of the film crew and some of the main characters who appeared on the stage left the manor one after another, and took the bus rented by the film crew to return to the hotel where they lived. However, Chen Yulian and Zhong Chuhong didn't need it, they just stayed in the hotel. it's here.

There were no dressing rooms in this period, and private cars allowed these actors to remove and retouch their makeup. Fortunately, they are now in Chu Huan’s manor in Honolulu. There are some rooms here for the actors of the crew to remove and retouch their makeup. For outdoor scenes, if the boys don’t have an important scene of changing clothes, but simply change their jackets, pants, etc., then they will change their clothes on the street.

  Before this, many Xiangjiang artists were photographed with such pictures.

  Chen Yulian and Zhong Chuhong returned to the room. Zhong Chuhong saw Chen Yulian frowning slightly, so she knew what the other party was thinking.

  Today is the 24th, and at 12 o'clock tonight, it will be Chen Yulian's 18th birthday.

Girls, the sense of ritual is still very strong. Although Chen Yulian also said before that she didn't care much about this birthday, but when the time comes to this day, Chen Yulian's heart is still a little complicated .

  That girl doesn't want her 18th coming-of-age ceremony to be a prosperous one!

   "Alian, I heard that there will be a bonfire party on the beach tonight, let's go shopping, maybe we will meet two handsome North American guys with blond hair and blue eyes!"

  Zhong Chuhong comforted Chen Yulian.

  Chen Yulian squeezed out a smile, and said: "No need, I'm already very tired after filming for a whole day, I'd better take a good rest, otherwise I will be NG tomorrow, and then Director Liu will definitely curse again!"

  Liu Pingkui is chubby, round and round, and looks very happy, but when he meets an actor who is not enlightened on the set, he will curse loudly.

  Zhong Chuhong smiled and said: "Don't worry, Director Liu won't scold us!"

   It is true that Chen Yulian and Zhong Chuhong have never been scolded by Liu Pingkui, not because of how good their acting skills are, but because Liu Pingkui dare not scold them.

  As for Chen Yulian, Zhong and Chuhong didn't think too much about it, they just thought that outsiders thought they were Chu Huan's god-sisters, so Liu Pingkui didn't scold them because of this relationship.

   But fortunately, both of them are competitive, and they have never been late or left early.

   "By the way, I read in the newspaper that Brother Huan's work in North America seems to be almost done. Do you think he will come over tomorrow?"

  Zhong Chuhong asked suddenly.

  Chen Yulian shook her head, and said with some sadness: "I probably won't come, after all, the newspapers only reported the cooperation between Brother Huan and News Corporation and Vertex Pictures, not about Jiaku."

  Zhong Chuhong also nodded in disappointment, and said: "Yes, there must be a lot of things over there in Jiaku, how could Brother Huan have time!"

  Chen Yulian asked suddenly: "By the way, you said that Brother Huan will be present at the live broadcast ceremony signed by the three parties today?"

  Zhong Chuhong shook his head and said: "I don't know, but I think Brother Huan must be present for such a big event, right?"

   Regarding the tripartite cooperation between HBO, Vertex Pictures, and News Corporation, the details have finally been finalized, and the three parties also announced that they will hold a press conference today to officially announce the matter.

   And this tripartite cooperation has completely shocked the entire North America.

   Everyone in Vertex Films knows that the rising star in Hollywood is now showing signs of thunder. Needless to say, News Corporation is one of the largest media groups in the world today, and among the three parties, HBO has the weakest sense of presence.

  At this time, audiences across the United States are not yet accustomed to pay TV.

  Actually, before this, Chen Yulian and Zhong Chuhong didn't know the relationship between HBO and Chu Huan, and their English was not very good, and they couldn't understand the contents of the newspaper at all.

The reason why I was able to know this matter was actually because of the translator of the crew. There were not two people in the entire "Happy Ghost" crew who knew English, and they were all half-baked, so after coming here, Liu Pingkui hired a translator to be in charge The crew communicated with local residents.

  Just the day before yesterday, the tripartite cooperation between HBO, Vertex Pictures, and News Corporation was published by the newspaper.

  Because "Happy Ghost" is also a film crew, and one of the three-party cooperation is Vertex Pictures, and the center point of the three-party cooperation is Disney.

  The most important thing is because the interpreter of the crew saw that Chen Yulian and Zhong Chuhong were beautiful women, and was willing to chat with them more. During the chat, it was natural to show off.

  The translator of "Happy Ghost" is called Henry, and he is a die-hard Li Xiaolong fan, which is why he learns Cantonese.

  But he is just a native of Honolulu, and he really has nothing to show for himself, so he can only find pride in his own country.

"Lian, Hong, let me tell you, Vertex Pictures and Disney are the top film studios in Hollywood in North America. Now that they have cooperated with News Corp., they will definitely be even stronger in the future. You two are so beautiful, in my opinion, you can have a good development even in Hollywood, just like Bruce became an international superstar, and I happen to have a friend who works at Disney, if you two want to, I I can introduce you to him!"

  After seeing the news of the tripartite cooperation in the newspaper, Henry immediately showed off to Chen Yulian and Zhong Chuhong.

Vertex Pictures, Disney, Chen Yulian, and Zhong Chuhong both know about it. After all, Xiangjiang Black and White Image has also introduced Vertex Pictures' "Jaws", "Rocky" and "Star Wars", and they also know about Disney. toys, but the two don't know much about News Corporation.

   "What is this news about today? By the way, I see that there is an HBO in this newspaper, so what is it about?"

  Zhong Chuhong asked Henry curiously.

   "News Corporation!" Henry immediately talked to Zhong Chuhong and Chen Yulian vividly about the content about News Corporation published in the newspaper.

  Actually, Henry himself does not know the specific situation of News Corporation, but North American newspapers are very concerned about this news, so when reporting, they also made a detailed report on the situation of HBO, Vertex Pictures, and News Corporation.

   As for the focus of their tripartite cooperation, Disney did not introduce much.

   One is that everyone knows about this company, and the other is that in this tripartite cooperation, Disney is only a bargaining chip, not a subject. Disney itself has no right to speak, so the media called it a tripartite cooperation.

"However, this Vertex Pictures is really powerful. I heard that they have been tortured by the Jews in Hollywood before, but now they are showing their promises. Not only have they sold Disney's shares to News Corporation, they have also become Shareholders of News Corporation, it seems that this Kelly still has some tricks!"

After talking about this, Henry told Zhong Chuhong and Chen Yulian about the situation of HBO, "This is a North American fee-paying TV station. It seems to have been acquired by a company called North America Aku. Now it is broadcasting some that have already been released. Movies and sports projects, others have no business, and I don’t know why this company entered this transaction!”

  After listening to Henry's speech, Chen Yulian and Zhong Chuhong looked at each other, and they both saw surprise in each other's eyes, North American Jiaku?

   Is there any connection between this TV station in North America and Brother Huan's company?

   Also had this idea, and the two became more interested in this North America library, so they asked Henry about the North America library.

  When they knew that North American Beauties also owned North America Youyu Records and North America Wolf Smoke, they determined that this North American Beauties company should belong to Chu Huan.

This discovery surprised them. Although the media and newspapers in Xiangjiang had reported some things about Chu Huan in North America, the most interesting one was Chu Huan's acquisition of Ford Motor shares, but Chen Yulian and Zhong Chuhong No one would have thought that Chu Huan's business in North America would involve Disney's level of operations.

  At night, Zhong Chuhong accompanied Chen Yulian after dinner, and the two girls sat cross-legged on the bed. Zhong Chuhong was thinking of ways to make Chen Yulian happier.

   "After we return to Xiangjiang, I will take you to eat delicious food, and I will definitely let you make up for this birthday!"

   Facing Zhong Chuhong's comfort, Chen Yulian squeezed out a smile, and said: "Thank you, Ah Hong, if you weren't here today, I really don't know what to do!"

  Zhong Chuhong smiled and said, "Why are you being so polite with me?"

"Ok!"

   "By the way, let's watch TV, maybe we can really see Brother Huan at the signing ceremony today!"

  Chen Yulian nodded and said, "Okay!"

  The two turned on the TV in the room, but the signing ceremony of HBO, Vertex Pictures, and News Corporation has not yet started.

   After waiting for a while, with the end of the advertisement, the signing ceremony began.

What disappointed Chen Yulian and Zhong Chuhong was that they didn't see Chu Huan at all during the ceremony. They only saw two ghosts and a ghost girl. question.

  But neither of them knew much English, so naturally they couldn't understand what was being said on TV.

   Helpless, the two had no choice but to chat while turning on the TV, hoping to see Chu Huan on the TV.

   Chu Huan didn't show up until the signing ceremony was over, and the time slowly came to 12 o'clock, and it seemed that it was his birthday soon.

  Chen Yulian's eyes were a little red.

  When the bell rang, Zhong Chuhong was about to wish Chen Yulian a happy birthday, when suddenly the brightness of fireworks came from outside their window
