  After Zhao Yazhi, Zhu Xiaozhao is also pregnant!

  Chu Huan looked at Zhu Xiaozhao happily, and confirmed, "Really?"

  Zhao Xiaozhao nodded happily, "I've gone to the Sanatorium and Hospital for an examination, and it's confirmed!"

  Chu Huan got up a little excitedly, and then said to Zhu Xiaozhao: "Then you give me a good baby at home from now on."

   "But the company still wants to buy Guangshenghang!" Seeing that Chu Huan wanted to raise her baby at home, Zhu Xiaozhao hurriedly said.

  Chu Huan waved his hand, and said domineeringly: "Let this matter be left to Li Tianying and Du Huilian. Li Tianying takes so much money from the company every year, and this is the time when she needs to do things."

   Seeing Chu Huan's attitude, Zhu Xiaozhao finally nodded happily and said, "I listen to Brother Huan!"

  Afterwards, Chu Huan called Bao Tianming, Chen Haichao, and Liu Pingkui, and told the three of them about Zhu Xiaozhao's pregnancy. When the three heard about it, they immediately said that they would put down their relationship and come here.

  Then Chu Huan called Yunhai Group again, directly found Li Tianying, and asked her to come to No. 12, Mount Kellie Road as well!

  Finally, Chu Huan called Xu Yi and asked her to contact the doctors and nurses of the Sanatorium and Hospital. Now she is staying in Zhu Xiaozhao's villa and taking good care of Zhu Xiaozhao's situation 24 hours a day.

  After arranging everything, Chu Huan returned to Zhu Xiaozhao's side, and said to her with a smile: "Is there anything you want to eat in particular, I'll let the kitchen prepare it for you?"

  Zhu Xiaozhao said a little shyly: "I want to eat wife cake?"

   "Haha!" Chu Huan laughed and said, "Isn't this simple?"

   While talking, Chu Huan called the bodyguard room and asked Han Yang to buy wife cakes.

  Cao Yunshang came back at this time, seeing Chu Huan and Zhu Xiaozhao happy, asked curiously: "What's the matter? So happy?"

  Chu Huanxiao pointed at Zhu Xiaozhao and said, "Xiao Zhao is pregnant!"

  Cao Yunshang also smiled immediately after listening, "Really?"

   "Hmm!" Zhu Xiaozhao looked a little embarrassed at this time.

   Regarding this Cao Yunshang naturally knew why Zhu Xiaozhao was embarrassed, but everyone has relatives and estrangements, and Cao Yunshang is no exception.

Compared with Zhao Yazhi, Lin Qingxia and others, although Cao Yunshang treats everyone equally, but it is different with Zhu Xiaozhao. One is because Chu Huan and Zhu Xiaozhao belong to the same family. The relationship with Zhu Xiaozhao.

  The second reason is that the Yunhai Group that Zhu Xiaozhao is in charge of now has the potential to be a large consortium that is not weaker than the Imperial Fashion Group. Zhu Xiaozhao also has this status that Cao Yunshang values.

   "I think it's better to let Xiao Zhao move here. People here have experience and can take better care of Xiao Zhao!" Cao Yunshang said to Chu Huan.

At this time, Zhu Xiaozhao didn't wait for Chu Huan to speak, and hurriedly said: "No, it's good that I live with me, and brother Huan has already arranged for people from the hospital to live in the villa. All right!"

  Chu Huan smiled, and said to Cao Yunshang: "Just do what Xiao Zhao said!"

   Cao Yunshang saw that Chu Huan and Zhu Xiaozhao both had this attitude, so he didn't say anything.

   Not long after, Bao Tianming, Chen Haichao, and Liu Pingkui came to No. 12 Mount Kellie Road one by one. From the smiles on their faces, it could be seen that they were very happy about Zhu Xiaozhao's pregnancy.

  After waiting for a while, Li Tianying also came to the villa and saw Chu Huan and Zhu Xiaozhao, but did not see Chen Haichao and others.

  Li Tianying naturally knew that Zhu Xiaozhao was going to acquire Guangshenghang, but now she heard that Zhu Xiaozhao was pregnant, she was also surprised and pleasantly surprised.

   "Xiao Zhao, don't worry, I will definitely handle the acquisition of Guangsheng Bank beautifully for you!"

  Li Tianying promised Zhu Xiaozhao a guarantee!

  Zhu Xiaozhao smiled and said: "Of course I believe you. By the way, Brother Huan also found someone to help with this matter, but it will take a few days for this person to appear, and Brother Huan will introduce you to each other!"

  Li Tianying nodded, and smiled with Chu Huan: "Chu Director, thank you in advance for this incident!"

After the three chatted about the details for a while, Li Tianying left, while Zhu Xiaozhao, Chen Haichao, Bao Tianming, and Liu Pingkui stayed at No. 12 Mount Kellie Road. After dinner, Chu Huan personally took Zhu Xiaozhao Sent back to her residence, and stayed.

  In the next few days, Chu Huan was basically Zhao Yazhi's residence in Repulse Bay, Xiao Zhao's residence in Mid-Levels, No. 12 Mount Kellie Road, and the company's four places in circles.

  In mid-August, Du Huilian finally completed his resignation at Vida Securities, and then under the leadership of Xu Yi, he went to Volkswagen International Investment and served as the president there.

   "How is it? Are you still used to the new company atmosphere?"

  At this time, Du Huilian was sitting in Chu Huan's office, but the person sitting here with Du Huilian was Li Tianying, the vice chairman of Yunhai Group.

  Compared to the low-key Zhu Xiaozhao, Li Tianying's popularity in Xiangjiang is much higher. One of the main reasons is the relationship between Li Tianying and Guo Bingxiang.

The two are married. As Guo Bingxiang's wife, coupled with his status as the vice chairman of Yunhai Group, Li Tianying is also responsible for some external liaison matters of Yunhai Group. Great reputation!

   It is precisely because of this reason that when Du Huilian saw Li Tianying here, he was still a little confused.

  But now that Chu Huan didn't talk about it, Du Huilian naturally couldn't ask.

   "Very good, I think I will get used to it more in the future!" Du Huilian replied to Chu Huan with a smile.

  When an airborne leader appears in any company, it is inevitable that the original company will not be familiar with, understand, or even resist him.

   This was the case when Liang Risi airborne TVB, and now Du Huilian airborne Volkswagen International Investment.

  Chu Huan naturally knew the situation Du Huilian was facing at this time, and said with a smile: "I think the process you are used to will definitely be very difficult, because now I need you to do things for the company!"

  Du Huilian now still remembers that Chu Huan told him before that after he finished handing over the work, there will be things for him to do. Now it seems that this is a task to be assigned.

However, Du Huilian didn't panic about this, instead, he said eagerly: "Then please ask the chairman to assign tasks. Some people are used to letting the company's subordinates accept themselves little by little, but I prefer to treat myself as my own." When the results are achieved, the subordinates worship themselves!"

  Chu Huan smiled, pointed to Li Tianying next to him and said, "I don't need to introduce this Li Dong?"

  Du Huilian nodded and said with a smile: "Miss Li Tianying, the vice chairman of Yunhai Group, I've already been heard!"

"President Du!" Li Tianying also greeted Du Huilian with a smile. She came to Chu Huan's office earlier than Du Huilian, and naturally she had already known from Chu Huan that she would assist Yunhai Group in acquiring Guangsheng in Xiangjiang. The person who did it was Du Huilian, who was once well-known in the Hong Kong securities industry.

   "Yunhai Group has decided to acquire Guangshenghang in Xiangjiang. This matter will be completed with the assistance of Dazhong International Investment, and this is your first task after entering Dazhong International Investment!"

  Chu Huan told Du Huilian about the acquisition of Guangshenghang!

This also made Du Huilian show a shocked expression again. Although Yunhai Group is low-key in Xiangjiang, it is not unknown. On the contrary, the mystery of this consortium has become a matter of private discussion among many businessmen in Xiangjiang. Do you want to help Yunhai Group acquire Guangshenghang?

  Kwong Sang Hong has been in Hong Kong for more than 70 years. Although the descendants of the Feng family seem to be conservative in running Kwong Sang Hong, Kwong Sang Hong is one of the oldest companies in Hong Kong after all.

   Yunhai Group, Guangshenghang, and Jiaku are linked together. It is really impossible not to surprise Du Huilian.

  If only Yunhai Group acquired Guangshenghang, Du Huilian would not be so surprised, but now it is Chu Huan who has come forward to help Yunhai Group acquire Guangshenghang.

   There are really too many things that Du Huilian doesn't understand.

  But as Chu Huan's subordinate, no matter how strong this incomprehension is, if Chu Huan doesn't explain the reason, Du Huilian will not ask too much.

  Li Tianying smiled and said to Du Huilian: "Mr. Du, this matter will trouble you. Our company hopes that you can spare some time these two days to go to our Yunhai Building. Then we will discuss the details."

  Yunhai Group also has its own headquarters building, which is also located in Central of Xiangjiang, and this building is actually the original Madden Building on Pedder Street in Central.

   And Li Tianying also knew from Chu Huan before that Chu Huan had other things to say about Du Huilian when he saw Du Huilian today, so Li Tianying didn't say much after meeting Du Huilian here!

  Du Huilian nodded and said: "Okay, tomorrow I will go to Yunhai Building!"

  Li Tianying got up and said to Chu Huan with a smile: "Mr. Chu, if there is nothing else, I will go back first. I hope there is still a lot of work left for us to do!"

  Chu Huan nodded and told Li Tianying to leave!

  Seeing such a conversation, Du Huilian always felt as if he had guessed something, but he had no proof.

  After Li Tianying left, Chu Huan didn't say anything about Yunhai Group to Du Huilian. Although Chu Huan didn't mind the outside world knowing about his relationship with Yunhai Group, he didn't want to make too much publicity either.

   "In addition to Guangshenghang, there are two other things that Dazhong International Investment needs to do!"

  Du Huilian was a little excited. He had just started to assume the position of the president of Dazhong International Investment, and Chu Huan had already started to arrange important tasks for himself. This can only show that Chu Huan attaches great importance to Dazhong International Investment.

   "Chairman, please speak!"

Chu Huan took out a document on his desk, handed it to Du Huilian, and said: "This is the information of Yongan Group, I remember you told me before we met last time, Al In fact, there are still many fields that Commerzbank Xiangjiang Branch and Bank of East Asia have not noticed. The insurance industry is one of them. At the same time, the number of branches of the two banks in Xiangjiang is not enough, so I hope that under your leadership, Wing On Group’s income can be increased. In the bag, when the time comes, Yongan Group's business can be supplemented by our two banks!"

   Du Huilian took the information of Wing On Group from Chu Huan's hands in shock. In fact, Du Huilian had a very clear understanding of Wing On Group in his heart without looking at the information in his hand.

  In the early days, before Japanese department stores entered Hong Kong, there were four major department stores in Hong Kong at that time, namely Wing On, Xianshi, Daxin, and Hua Department Store!

   Wing On and Xian Shi are also the largest of the four department stores.

The founder of Wing On Department Store was Guo Le, an Australian overseas Chinese, and two brothers Guo Quan founded it in Xiangjiang in 1907. In 1915, the Guo brothers founded Wing On Water and Fire Insurance Company. Ten years later, they founded Wing On Life Insurance Company. At that time, the business spread all over the mainland. In major cities and Southeast Asian countries, in 1931, the Guo brothers founded Wing On Bank!

Like many Chinese businessmen, the Kwok brothers started hoarding land in Xiangjiang after making the Wing On Group bigger. According to the time when the Kwok Brothers were in charge of the Wing On Group, the Wing On Group has successively purchased more than 200 properties, all over Des Voeux Road West on Hong Kong Island. , Goldstar Road, Kebu Dayan, Happy Valley Village Road, Nathan Road in Kowloon Peninsula, Wusong Street in Yau Ma Tei, Ho Man Tin, Fa Yuen Street, etc.

   These real estate properties will appreciate substantially in the future, laying a solid asset foundation for the development of Wing On Group.

  By the middle of the 1930s, Guo's Wing On Group entered its heyday, with as many as 15 affiliated and affiliated companies, all over Xiangjiang, Australia and the mainland.

Among them, Yongan Company located in Shenghai has become the largest department store company in China, and Shenghai Yongan Textile Co., Ltd. has issued shares to become a large textile enterprise group with all-round functions of spinning, weaving, printing and dyeing, second only to Rongjia in scale. Shenxin Textile Co., Ltd. ranks second in China.

   At that time, the power and influence of Guo's Wing On Group could be said to be the best among Chinese businessmen.

  Even the Rong family was helped by the Guo family. During the war, the Shenxin Group of the Rong family encountered financial difficulties, and Shenghai creditors sued the Shenxin company one after another. Therefore, the Rong family came to Xiangjiang to seek help from Lu Yunsheng and the Guo family of Yongan.

  Lu Yunsheng and the Guo brothers wrote to the creditors of Shenghai, suggesting that the debts should be settled after the war, and said: "There is nothing to talk about economic sanctions against Shen Xinzuo, friends will be broken... Yongan is the same."

   As a result, all creditors of Shenghai withdrew their charges.

  The words of the Guo family in Yong’an can have the same weight as that of the “big brother” Lu Yunsheng. People from all corners of the country, black and white, and all walks of life have to give some respect, and the reputation of the Guo family in Yong’an can be seen from this.

It is a pity that, like many companies in Xiangjiang, the Guo family of Wing On also suffered heavy losses during the Japanese Occupation period in Hong Kong. After the death of Guo Quan, the founder of Wing On in the 1960s, Wing On’s investment strategy gradually became conservative. In addition to continuing to operate department stores, insurance In addition to the banking business, they began to sell their properties in Xiangjiang. In this way, when the Xiangjiang real estate industry began to develop, it is natural that the Yongan Guo family has not kept up with the pace of the times.

In addition, in 1973, the Wing On Guo family rebuilt the Wing On Department Store building between Central and Upper Ring into a modern commercial building - Wing On Center through stock splits, bonus shares and rights issue to raise funds. The Hong Kong stock market crash and interest rate hikes have led to higher than expected development costs for Wing On Center, and lower than expected rental income after completion, causing Wing On Group to suffer another heavy blow.

At this time, the main assets of Wing On Group are Wing On Real Estate Securities Investment Co., Ltd., which is wholly owned by Wing On Real Estate, holding 75% of Wing On Life Insurance Company, holding 72.89% of Wing On Water and Fire Insurance Company, and holding 30% of Wing On Bank. Yongan Company, and Yongan Property, which owns 30% of the shares.

   Among them, Yongan Company is the parent company of Yongan Department Store, and this company is also a listed company!

  Chu Huan is now focusing on Yongan Group, in fact, it is also to further expand his industry in Xiangjiang.

Wing On Bank can be merged into Bank of East Asia. Although the scale of Bank of East Asia still cannot catch up with Hang Seng Bank, it will at least allow Bank of East Asia to have more branches and expand its scale. The previous development of Bank of East Asia was too conservative, although It can allow the Bank of East Asia to avoid repeated bank runs, but it also limits the development of the Bank of East Asia.

  Insurance business can increase the scale of Bank of East Asia and Alder Commercial Bank Xiangjiang Branch in Xiangjiang insurance industry, and even use Xiangjiang as a base in the future to enter markets in other regions, including hometown, Japan, Europe and the United States and other places!

  Wing On Department Store can supplement Yunhai Group and guarantee Yunhai Group's position among the large department stores in Xiangjiang.

  After all, the current Yunhai Department Store already owns Seibu Department Store and Hua Department Store in Xiangjiang, and now it buys Wing On Department Store, and it can become the leader of Xiangjiang Department Store!

  As for their land, property and other assets can be supplemented by competing real estate.

  So the acquisition of Wing On Group is a very important thing for Chu Huan.

In fact, it wasn’t just Chu Huan who was concerned about Wing On Group. Zheng Jiachun, who was the managing director of New World in another time and space, also initiated the acquisition of Wing On Group in the late 1980s. acquisition.

   And this acquisition battle was later recorded in the commercial history of Xiangjiang.

  The problem that Zheng Jiachun is facing is actually the same problem that Du Huilian will encounter when he acquires Wing On Group.

"Chairman, the resistance to the acquisition of Yongan Group is much greater than the resistance to the acquisition of Guangshenghang. Although the Guo family has a large population, as far as I know, their family is relatively united, and Yongan Group is their family business. Now, if it is reported that we want to acquire Wing On Group, let alone the financial issue, it is likely to attract the great unity of the Guo family, and they will definitely unite to resist our acquisition!"

  Chu Huan smiled and said, "If it was easy to acquire, I wouldn't ask you to be the president of Dazhong International Investment!"

Du Huilian pondered for a while, and said: "Chairman, I think the acquisition of Guangshenghang is very hopeful, but I really dare not promise you about the matter of Yongan Group. I can only say that I will do my best. Come do this!"

  Chu Huan also understood the difficulty of acquiring Wing On Group, and said with a smile: "As long as you do your best, I can see it."

   "Thank you, Chairman!" Du Huilian said earnestly.

  Chu Huan continued: "Okay, this matter has been discussed. After returning to the company, you make an acquisition plan yourself, and then calculate an acquisition budget. When the time comes, I will ask Jiaku to allocate funds for you!"

  Du Huilian nodded and said: "Yes!"

   "Okay, the third thing for today!" Chu Huan said.

  Du Huilian thought that Chu Huan still wanted to acquire other companies, and couldn't help but be surprised. Is Jiaku going to start a crazy acquisition mode in Xiangjiang this year?

   "Chairman, please speak!"

Chu Huan said: "The third thing is much simpler. I am going to allocate 1 billion Hong Kong dollars in cash to Volkswagen International, and this billion Hong Kong dollars is for you to invest in some Chinese companies that are currently developing in Hong Kong. For small companies, Jiaku conducted a survey on the development of some small and medium-sized companies in Hong Kong before, and finally found some companies with development potential. The list is here. I hope you can use this one billion Hong Kong dollars to become their company’s shareholder!"

   It's not an acquisition, it's an investment!

  But Du Huilian still didn't feel that this matter was easy to handle, and at the same time, he didn't doubt Jiaku's analysis. After all, Jiaku's ability in Xiangjiang is well known, and the intelligence reserve is the best in the world!

  However, since these companies have development potential, they don’t necessarily need the funds of Jiaku, because it is very likely that their founders will lose control of their companies.

   No founder of a company wants to lose his control over the company.

   "Chairman, what if these companies are unwilling to accept our investment?" Du Huilian asked tentatively.

  Chu Huan leaned on the sofa, with a smile on his face, and said: "If they are not willing to accept it, they can only find their competitive partners to invest!"

  Understood, either be ordered by Jiaku, or be killed by Jiaku!

   This is Chu Huan's attitude on this matter.

  At this time, Chu Huan handed Du Huilian a piece of paper with many company names written on it.

After seeing the names of these companies, Du Huilian finally understood Chu Huan's meaning at this time. The names on this piece of paper are all over companies from all walks of life in Hong Kong. If the companies among them grow up, then in the future Chu Huan will Unsurprisingly, he was firmly seated as the godfather of Xiangjiang's business community. No one and no force could have any influence on Chu Huan's dominance in Xiangjiang.

   "I understand Chairman, this matter will not disappoint you!" Du Huilian said seriously.

  Although the money is not easy to spend, it is far less difficult than the acquisition of Wing On Group.

  If Jiaku is compared to the ancient imperial court, then in Du Huilian's mind, Jiaku at this time is the Tang Dynasty in its heyday, invincible!

   And these companies, no matter whether they have development potential, but in front of Jiaku at this time, they can be regarded as the thugs of the prefecture at best.

  Under the strong pressure of Jiaku, they can only choose to be recruited, otherwise they will have no bones left!

Chu Huan smiled. Although the real estate and financial industries are the mainstream in Xiangjiang in later generations, it does not mean that there are no other industrial companies in Xiangjiang. Although they all operate the real estate industry more or less, they also have their own main business As long as this plan is completed, then Chu Huan's Jiaku will truly control all industries in Xiangjiang.

   "Very well, I will go to North America in the next two days. If there is anything you can't solve, you can go to Xu Yi, and I will let Xu Yi fully cooperate with your actions in Xiangjiang!"

In Los Angeles, there is indeed one matter that is still waiting for Chu Huan to deal with. Although it is not a big deal, and it is not something that will affect the company's business scale, Chu Huan still has to go. After all, it involves Chu Huan. Huan's personal hobbies, and the development of Nike.

   Now Xiangjiang’s four major college leagues have started, and it has achieved the effect Chu Huan wanted. Nike has also become the most popular sporting goods in Xiangjiang, but this is far from enough.

   Just one Xiangjiang cannot satisfy Nike’s demand for the market. Nike’s target company at this time will always be Adidas, not others!

  Du Huilian nodded and said: "Understood!"

  Since the order was over, Chu Huan let Du Huilian leave. After all, the three tasks he entrusted to Du Huilian were not easy tasks. Du Huilian was busy this time.

  After Du Huilian left, Xu Yi came to Chu Huan's office.

Chu Huan first told Xu Yi about Du Huilian's situation, and then said to Xu Yi: "The acquisition of Wing On Bank is just in case, the most important thing you need to do during this time is to discuss with Citicorp Bank about the acquisition of their business in the Far East. The matter of bank shares!"

After completing the acquisition of Bank of East Asia, Chu Huan already understood that if he wanted to complete the layout of Jiaku's banking industry in Xiangjiang, he needed to acquire more banks, so as to avoid the loss of Bank of East Asia's own development. time needed.

  Furthermore, the Far East Bank actually has another advantage that Chu Huan needs, and that is the influence of the Far East Bank in the Hong Kong New Territories.

Several major factories of Jiaku are now located in the New Territories. Although there is also an outlet of HSBC Bank in Huaye City and the Bank of East Asia Huaye City outlet is also being renovated, but through Jiaku’s survey, more residents in the New Territories are still willing to trust Far East The bank is their local bank in the New Territories.

  Even the workers in several major factories in Jiaku are the same.

   Therefore, the necessity of acquiring Far Eastern Bank has been raised several levels here by Chu Huan, not because of the size of Far Eastern Bank, but because of the geographical advantage of Far Eastern Bank!

Xu Yi nodded and said: "I have already contacted Wanguobaotong Bank, and they are not as opposed to this matter as before, but according to my observation, their emotions are a bit entangled now. I still have some fantasies about the first thing, and second, I want to get more acquisition money in our hands!"

   This is a disadvantage of Jiaku's huge influence in Xiangjiang. Everyone knows that you are rich, so they want to ask for more money from you when buying!

  Chu Huan said with a smile: "I don't ask about the process, I only want the result!"

"clear!"

   Also, correct the typo first and then change it, Huangshan continues to code~~
