Chapter 718 The reaction of the real estate industry (7K chapter, please subscribe~)

  Although Chu Huan and Roy Bentley have agreed on the general direction of cooperation between Jiaku and HSBC, there are actually many specific issues that need to be discussed.

  However, Chu Huan and Roy Bentley are not required to be responsible for this, but the people below the two sides will discuss the details of the cooperation between the two parties.

  But because the two sides agreed on two things at the beginning, the first thing was their acquisition of the Royal Bank of Scotland in England, and Chu Huan needed to personally communicate with Roy Bentley about this matter.

  The second thing is their plan to jointly establish a real estate project cooperation department in Xiangjiang!

  However, according to the regulations of Xiangjiang, the banking industry cannot specifically manage other industries, so this time HSBC did not do this with their own body, but chose its subsidiary company, Dollie, to do this.

   And Chu Huan sent Zhulu Real Estate to do this.

   The first matter required Chu Huan and Roy Bentley to meet again to discuss it, so no specific negotiations were launched in Xiangjiang, and the second matter, specific negotiations have already begun.

  The representatives of Jiaku are He Bingguang from Zhulu Real Estate and the negotiating department of Xiangjiang Jiaku, who are jointly responsible for this matter.

  The negotiator sent by HSBC was Pu Weishi, the person who succeeded Shen Bi as the head of HSBC in another time and space.

   On this day, Chu Huan and Roy Bentley got together again, but different from last time, this time Shen Bi also participated in the meeting.

   "Mr. Chu, we have started negotiations on the establishment of the Real Estate Project Cooperation Department, so now you should tell us how to deal with the British Monopoly and Merger Commission?"

   This time they were talking at the Wuyuehui.

  Chu Huan sat on the sofa and said calmly: "Roy, if you want to pass the British Monopoly and Merger Commission, then there is an important issue that needs to be resolved!"

   Shen Bi asked Chu Huan, "What's the problem?"

  “That is, no matter how HSBC advertises itself as a British company with Scottish ancestry, it is undeniable that HSBC is always registered in Xiangjiang.

  As British people, you should understand the pride of England. It is very difficult for them to accept that they allow a bank where a colony is located to acquire their settlement bank! "

  Chu Huan calmly preached to the two of them.

Both Roy Bentley and Shen Bi showed a clear expression, and they actually understood this in their hearts, but now they have not found a suitable solution to this problem, which is why they chose One of the reasons for working with Chu Huan.

   "Mr. Chu, you understand the situation of HSBC. This matter is completely unsolvable, so we hope that the relationship between our two companies in England should be united. Only in this way can we solve this problem!"

Chu Huan nodded slightly, and said: "If you and I combine the influence of the two, it is indeed possible to facilitate this matter, but you two, you think that only after the merger is completed, your business in Europe will not be successful. Will it be affected?"

   Shen Bi asked suspiciously: "Chu Dong, what do you mean?"

Chu Huan said: "Why do I want to merge Bank of East Asia and Far East Bank, but not join Alder Commercial Bank Xiangjiang Branch? It is because I understand that to ensure the Westernization of Alder Commercial Bank, if Alder Commercial Bank is also merged If you go to Jiaku Bank in Xiangjiang, then for outsiders, this is not a commercial bank rooted in North America, but a bank in Xiangjiang.

  In this way, do you two still think that it is possible for Alder Commercial Bank to make achievements in other regions? "

Roy Bentley and Shen Bi only analyzed that the reason why Chu Huan did not let Alder Commercial Bank merge into Jiaku Bank at the beginning was because Chu Huan put the development plan of Alder Commercial Bank in Europe, America and other places, but among them Shen Yi didn't pay attention to it carefully. Now that they heard what Chu Huan said, the two of them knew what Chu Huan really thought.

   And this incident seems to be a casual incident, but it is a place where accidents are easy to happen.

   "Director Chu, I didn't expect you to be so thoughtful, you've even thought of this!" Shen Bi exclaimed.

Chu Huan smiled easily and said, "Mr. Shen, this is actually the problem HSBC is facing today. If the two of us work together to help HSBC complete the acquisition of the Royal Bank of Scotland, but as those Scots and some British , Their proud psychology, it is really possible to take away their deposits in this bank, and then this acquisition will be a failed acquisition at least in a short period of time!"

  Roy Bentley asked: "What do you think, Mr. Chu?"

Chu Huan said: "The best way is actually for the two of us to jointly establish a company, and this company will come forward to acquire a securities company located in London, and then this securities company will come forward to acquire the Royal Bank of Scotland. People from England and Scotland have a feeling that their bank has been acquired by a Xiangjiang company.”

   Roy Bentley showed a hint of joy, this is indeed a very good way.

But Shen Bi showed a surprised expression at this time, and then said to Chu Huan with a wry smile: "Mr. Chu, do you want to say that in the future we will reorganize HSBC, and then we will reorganize the company we bought in London?" The securities company was upgraded to one of HSBC's holding companies, so that HSBC actually completed a disguised relocation!"

Roy Bentley, who hadn't reacted just now, after listening to Shen Bi's speech, his face suddenly became ugly, and he said with some dissatisfaction: "Director Chu, I thought we were already partners, and you shouldn't It is only right that such a situation occurs to calculate us at HSBC!"

At this moment, HSBC is based in Xiangjiang. One of the biggest reasons is that HSBC is registered in Xiangjiang. However, if HSBC were to leave Xiangjiang in a disguised form in order to complete the acquisition of Royal Bank of Scotland, the impact would definitely be sensational.

  The people of Xiangjiang have always regarded HSBC as a pure Xiangjiang bank, but now HSBC has changed its mind and invested in the arms of England.

   At this time, when Jiaku Bank is rising strongly in Xiangjiang, Roy Bentley will naturally think that Chu Huan is plotting against them HSBC!

After Chu Huan listened, without changing his face, with a smile, he said: "You two, let's open the skylight and speak brightly, don't you HSBC have thought about making HSBC make such a change at some point in the future? "

  In another time and space, when HSBC acquired Midland Bank, it actually made such a change, changing its name in a disguised form, which caused a huge sensation in Xiangjiang at that time.

   HSBC also had to assure Hong Kong people that this was just their commercial behavior, but in fact HSBC is still Hong Kong’s HSBC.

   Having said that, everyone understands that HSBC is no longer the old HSBC!

  Roy Bentley and Shen Bi looked at each other in blank dismay. They had indeed had such thoughts, and their thoughts

"Mr. Chu, to tell you the truth, we do have such an idea, but this consideration is based on the preparatory plan based on the future situation of Xiangjiang. If the environment of Xiangjiang will not change in the future, we will not give up the idea of ​​Xiangjiang. Basic!"

   Shen Bi preached.

  Chu Huan nodded slightly. He believed what Shen Bi said. If the situation in Xiangjiang does not change, then HSBC has no reason to give up the market in Xiangjiang.

   But Chu Huan also understands that Xiangjiang's situation will definitely change.

   This is the general trend, and it will not change in any way because of Chu Huan's rebirth.

"Of course, if you two don't have this idea, I won't say it again, but I hope you can understand one thing, that is, after completing the acquisition of Royal Bank of Scotland, the performance of Royal Bank of Scotland must be done well. It's definitely going to drop dramatically.

   This is not to change what an acquiring bank can do, but the reality is like this. I think you two should be clear about this! "

  Roy Bentley and Shen Bi were also heartbroken. They bought RBS to expand HSBC's business in Europe, not to acquire a declining bank.

More importantly, if the deposits of the Royal Bank of Scotland decline, it means that the value of the Royal Bank of Scotland is depreciating. At that time, the price they pay is not proportional to the harvest, which means that this is a failed acquisition !

   "Is there no other way?" Roy Bentley was at a loss at this time.

  Shen Bi pondered for a while and asked: "Is it possible to acquire a securities company in London according to Director Chu's method, and then let him complete the acquisition of the Royal Bank of Scotland without changing the status quo of HSBC?"

  Chu Huan spread his hands and said, "Of course it is possible, but if this is the case, how can we talk about the merger?"

  If this method is used, it means that these are still two different banks, and it is still impossible to communicate with each other in terms of business. Even if it is possible, it will add a lot of procedures and costs.

"You two, there are actually only a few roads before you now. The first road is to give up the acquisition of the Royal Bank of Scotland. The second road is whether the Hong Kong market is important in your mind, or the European market. important market?"

   After finishing speaking, Chu Huan stopped expressing any opinions, but just quietly looked at Roy Bentley and Shen Bi. The initiative of this matter was in the hands of the two of them, and Chu Huan didn't care much about it.

After being silent for a long time, the two looked at each other, and finally Shen Bi said: "Director Chu, no one can say for sure what will happen in the future, so let's proceed with the acquisition of the Royal Bank of Scotland in the current way." , I think this acquisition will last at least two or three years, and maybe the situation of Xiangjiang will become clear by then!"

HSBC's thinking is still conservative, so Chu Huan just nodded and said with a smile: "I have no objection, and I will hand over the specific operation of this matter to David Maxwell, the president of Alder Commercial Bank. Your bank has completed this acquisition!"

   The joint acquisition of the Royal Bank of Scotland with HSBC was not done by the Alder Commercial Bank Xiangjiang Branch, but by the Alder Commercial Bank Headquarters.

   This is actually to avoid the difficulties caused by geographical issues.

  Roy Bentley nodded, stretched out his hand to Chu Huan and said, "Thank you Director Chu for your cooperation!"

  Chu Huan smiled, stretched out his hand and said: "This time, the two of you should no longer doubt the sincerity of our Jiaku!"

  Roy Bentley said with some embarrassment: "Just now is our villain's heart!"

  After talking about the matter, Roy Bentley and Shen Bi got up and left the private room, while Chu Huan was still sitting there, but Guo Bingxiang and others came to the private room after a while.

   "What is so urgent that you called us all over?"

  After Guo Bingxiang sat down, he couldn't wait to ask Chu Huan.

They haven't been together for some time, not because of what happened to the two parties, but because these people have been slowly and step by step starting to plan to take over in their own companies, so everyone's work is very important. busy.

   This also reduces the time they meet.

  However, Chu Huan called them again today, which surprised them a little. Especially at this time, if something happened, Chu Huan would not call them, or call everyone.

   "It is true that something is going to happen, and I want you to come here because I want you to be mentally prepared!" Chu Huan sat there and preached calmly.

   Everyone looked at Chu Huan nervously. It must not be a trivial matter to make Chu Huan so formal.

  Chu Huan did not hesitate, and told them about Zhulu Real Estate and HSBC's plan to cooperate.

After listening to them, several people showed surprised expressions. As I said before, if Zhulu Real Estate and HSBC really officially cooperate to establish a real estate project cooperation department, plus the real estate project investment department established by Zhulu Real Estate before, Then the right to speak in Xiangjiang's real estate business completely fell on Chu Huan.

  Although everyone is a cooperative relationship and good friends at the same time, the feeling of being controlled by others still makes everyone feel a little overwhelmed!

   For a while, the private room fell into silence.

   "It's really a big event!" Huo Zhenting couldn't help saying at this time.

  Although the Huo family is no longer openly engaged in real estate business, it will definitely be affected by this matter.

   "Looking on the bright side, with the real estate project investment department of Zhulu Real Estate and the real estate project cooperation department of Zhulu Real Estate and HSBC, Xiangjiang's real estate business will definitely be more prosperous, and our stock prices will definitely rise, but..."

  Guo Bingxiang was halfway through what he had said, so he stopped talking.

  Because everyone knows the following, the bad thing is that from now on, the life and death of each of their companies will not be decided by themselves, but by Chu Huan.

  Zheng Jiachun tentatively asked Chu Huan, "Ah Huan, is there any further discussion on this matter?"

  Chu Huan shook his head and said: "No, HSBC needs to develop. Even without the participation of our Jiaku, HSBC will have such a real estate project cooperation department. In that case, Zhulu Real Estate will be passive!"

   Several people showed disappointed expressions again.

The matter this time is very passive. If Chu Huan’s Jiaku does not cooperate with HSBC, but simply establishes a real estate project cooperation department by HSBC itself, it will actually be more beneficial to everyone present, because even if they are If you do not cooperate with Zhulu Real Estate, you can also cooperate with HSBC.

The choice is theirs, and they can even take both sides, but now that Jiaku cooperates with HSBC, then this matter becomes different, they have no choice, they can only put the power of life and death in Chu Huan's hands hands.

   "Ah Huan, what do you think?" Zhao Shizeng couldn't help asking Chu Huan.

  Chu Huan smiled, and said: "It's very simple, what happened in the past, what will happen in the future, Jiaku will not participate in the operation of your companies, but it doesn't sound very good!"

Seeing that everyone was not talking, Chu Huan said: "Everyone, after you go back, you should discuss this matter with your father and family. The general trend of cooperation will definitely not change. The only thing I can assure you is that, Jiaku will definitely not manipulate you in this matter!"

   This meeting did not last long. Everyone left the private room full of thoughts. Although the time of this meeting was short, the impact on them was too great.

   Just when Chu Huan was about to leave, Zhao Shizeng came to Chu Huan's car, and Chu Huan let Zhao Shizeng get into his own car.

   "I remember, A Huan, you have 10% shares in Zhuoneng Real Estate, right?" Zhao Shizeng asked Chu Huan after sitting in the car.

  Chu Huan nodded and said, "That's right, when you founded Zhuoneng Real Estate, I bought 10% of the shares."

  Zhao Shizeng said with a smile: "I hope you can increase your holdings of Zhuoneng Real Estate by 5%!"

  Chu Huan looked at Zhao Shizeng and asked: "So you have already made a decision on this matter?"

  Zhao Shizeng nodded indifferently and said: "It's already a foregone conclusion, what else is there to consider, not to mention that Zhuoneng Real Estate was founded by myself, and the right to speak is greater than those of them!"

  Chu Huan said: "You know I didn't tell you this to increase your company's shares!"

"I know!" Zhao Shizeng nodded and said, "But now the situation has become clear. In order for HSBC to catch up with Shangjiaku in Xiangjiang, then their real estate project cooperation department will definitely be established. In order to continue to maintain Jiaku’s advantage in Xiangjiang will definitely buy shares. This is an irreversible thing. Although I don’t know what kind of agreement you reached with HSBC to bring the two of you together, I can be sure. What's more, when we have no way to change him, we can only join him.

   What’s more, I’m still willing to believe your words, A Huan. For so many years, you have never let us suffer. To be honest, if I hadn’t met you at the beginning, I might not have started my own real estate company now.

  So there is nothing to hesitate at this time.

   Letting you increase your shareholding in Zhuoneng Real Estate is only out of commercial considerations. I hope that the relationship between us can be closer! "

Faced with Zhao Shizeng's open and honest conversation, Chu Huan didn't say anything, just smiled and patted Zhao Shizeng's shoulder, and then said: "Zhulu Real Estate will develop a residential land in Mong Kok in November this year. If Zhuoneng Real Estate If you have an idea, you can directly contact He Bingguang at that time!"

Zhao Shizeng showed a smile. His contribution was worthwhile. The 5% shares of Zhuoneng Real Estate were exchanged for the joint development rights of the land in Mong Kok. Although we don’t know that Zhuo Lu Real Estate plans to develop the land in Mong Kok, we can be sure , Chu Huan will definitely not treat himself badly.

   "I'm really curious, how much reserve land does Jiaku have today?"

   Zhao Shizeng, who was in a good mood, couldn't help asking Chu Huan.

  Chu Huan said with a smile: "Actually, I don't know, but what is certain is that there are many!"

  When a person does not know how much assets he has, he is actually considered to be truly rich, but now Chu Huan really does not know how much land reserves the entire Jiaku has.

   Every year, Xiangjiang puts up land for auction, and both Zhulu Real Estate and Hehe International-Wheelock can get a lot of land, but this is not the route that Jiaku reserves the most land.

  Jiaku’s reserve of land is more of a transaction with real estate developers in Xiangjiang, as well as Jiaku’s expansion in Xiangjiang over the years.

   A series of companies such as CMB, KMB, Hang Lung Properties, Huhua Properties, Hehe International, Wheelock, Zhang’s Industries, etc., have already allowed Jiaku to have a large amount of land reserves.

   What's even more frightening is that Jiaku still hasn't stopped their expansion route.

Before Chu Huan acquired Wing On Group, it was for Wing On Group's insurance industry, banking industry, and their department store business, but it is undeniable that, as a consortium that has grown together with Xiangjiang, the high-quality land they have reserved is even more immeasurable .

  Even after completing the acquisition of Wing On Group, even if Chu Huan hadn’t acquired Jardines and Hong Kong Land, their land area in Central would actually surpass that of Hong Kong Land!

  In addition, Jiaku has also been acquiring land exchange rights in the New Territories, which also ensures that Jiaku will still be able to control most of the land in Xiangjiang in the future.

   "Well, this is really not a good question!" Zhao Shizeng said with emotion.

   Without further chatting, Zhao Shizeng left Chu Huan's car.

  The next day, just after Chu Huan arrived at the Chinese Bank, he received a call from Guo Desheng and others. Everyone said the same thing, and they urgently needed to meet Chu Huan.

  Finally, Chu Huan agreed with everyone to go to sea again to discuss matters.

  Chu Huan's custom-made yacht has not yet been completed, so he can only continue to use his father-in-law's yacht.

   A day later, Chu Huan, Guo Desheng and others went to sea again to discuss this matter.

   "A Huan, we need a guarantee from you!"

  Huo Tsar did not come, and Guo Desheng, as the oldest among these people, was pushed out by everyone as a representative to discuss this matter with Chu Huan.

  Chu Huan sat on the deck and said: "Uncle Guo, tell me, as long as I can do it, I will definitely promise you!"

  Guo Desheng said: "That is, neither you nor HSBC can participate in the management of our personal company in the name of the Real Estate Project Investment Department and the Real Estate Project Cooperation Department!"

   This is the guarantee Guo Desheng asked Chu Huan.

  In fact, these people had already met once yesterday without Chu Huan, and the conclusions they came to in the end were actually very helpless.

  Because they can't prevent this from happening, it's not that there is no way, but they can't!

   "If you can't agree to our condition, then the few of us will jointly negotiate with HSBC and guarantee cooperation with them. In this way, I think the energy of our companies will still be able to wrestle with Jiaku!"

   This is the method discussed by Guo Desheng and others!

   But if you do this, it will be a formal declaration of war with Chu Huan.

   But such a result is not acceptable to them. The ties between the two parties are too deep. Chu Huan's Chinese real estate is almost the second largest shareholder of their companies. In addition, they also have overseas cooperation projects.

  So as long as there is a choice, none of them wants to be an enemy of Chu Huan!

"It's natural!" Chu Huan said seriously: "Uncle Guo, whether you believe it or not, my decision this time is not aimed at you, but simply to prevent HSBC from catching up with Jiaku. .

  You can see the speed of development of the real estate industry in Xiangjiang. Whether we want it or not, the real estate industry will definitely become one of the core industries of Xiangjiang in the future, even the most important industry.

   Just like the shipping industry before.

  I also hope that everyone can develop better, but the premise is that HSBC cannot catch up with Jiaku! "

  Guo Desheng and others showed satisfied smiles after hearing Chu Huan's affirmative answer.

   Having such a guarantee is enough.

   Zheng Yutong said at this time: "A Huan, besides this matter, we have one more thing to discuss with you!"

   "Uncle Zheng, tell me!" Chu Huan nodded.

"Jiaku, HSBC, and us can basically be called the largest real estate alliance in Xiangjiang. As you said before, Xiangjiang's plate is not very big. If too many people come in Foraging for food will definitely affect our interests.

  So we all think that Xiangjiang may not need too many real estate companies! "

  Zheng Yutong said with a smile.

  Crisis, crisis, for these real estate companies, there are dangers and opportunities. Now that they have guaranteed that this matter will not put them in danger, they will need more opportunities!

  If there are only a few of them in the real estate industry in Xiangjiang, then this market will be theirs in the future, which will definitely be a huge profit margin for them!

  Chu Huan didn't expect that Zheng Yutong and others would have such a big appetite, but after thinking about it, if he was their identity, he would have such thoughts too!

After being silent, Chu Huan did not give an accurate answer, but just said with a smile: "Uncle Zheng, we are not involved in this matter, but we can support you, but if there is a company with potential, we should support it." We will still support it, and of course our Jiaku will also consider your interests!"

  Although the answer was not certain, the meaning was clear. Chu Huan would not let Jiaku be the leader in this kind of thing, because it would affect her reputation too much.

   But for this kind of thing, Jiaku will not be the leader in name, but it must be the leader in profit!

   And has the ability to contain their group!

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