Chapter 766 Gold income arrives in the account (7K chapter, please subscribe~)

  Xiangjiang 1980 New Year's Eve If there is a group of people who are the happiest, it must be the employees of Yunhai Group.

  Especially today, they received a collective notice from the company that this year they will go to the black and white studio to receive this year's New Year's lai see.

  In addition, the company is still doing employee statistics, the most critical of which is the number of years employees have worked in Yunhai Group.

   What this represents, these people already know it without the company saying it clearly.

  Of course, Yunhai Group did not specify the relationship between Yunhai Group and Chu Huan in the statement, but only said that the welfare plan of Yunhai Group will be merged into Jiaku's welfare plan.

As soon as this news came out, it immediately caused quite a stir in Xiangjiang. However, because of the acquisition of Jardine by Huaren Real Estate at this time, the popularity of Hongkong Land has not dissipated, and the Lunar New Year is coming soon, so although there is a sensation, there is no It's so big, after all, the relationship between Yunhai Group and Chu Huan has been rumored for a long time during the money-burning war in the retail industry.

   And such an effect was actually what Chu Huan wanted.

   Now no matter what kind of news, just try to keep a low profile!

  Chu Huan is proceeding in an orderly manner according to the itinerary plan that he has already determined.

   On this day, Chu Huan waited for Xu Yi in the office.

  Xu Yi also had an excited look on his face. There were not many things that could make Xu Yi show such excitement at this time, but today's incident was enough to make Xu Yi show such an expression.

   "Boss, all our gold positions scattered in various markets around the world have been emptied, and the funds have also been deposited into our accounts in major banks around the world!"

This was at the beginning of 1980. For Chu Huan, the most important thing. Last year, Chu Huan took out 5 billion US dollars and entered the gold market with ten times leverage. At that time, the global gold price was 267 US dollars per ounce. Now the global gold price It's $800 an ounce.

  Chu Huan's income exceeded 100 billion US dollars.

   This is a wealth that is simply unimaginable in this era.

   Hoo!

  Chu Huan leaned on the sofa, heaved a sigh of relief, and said, "Finally, I don't have to worry about money!"

  Hearing what Chu Huan said, Xu Yi curled his lips silently, when did his boss ever lack money!

   But no matter what, for Chu Huan, after having this sum of money, Chu Huan really doesn't need to worry about money anymore.

   "Boss, we have money now, so what are you going to do with the money?"

  Xu Yi followed Chu Huan's words and asked.

  Chu Huan heard the teasing in Xu Yi's words, glared at him, and asked, "How is the preparation for the Oriental Hotel Group that I asked you to prepare?"

  Xu Yi smiled and said, "I'm still looking for a suitable helmsman. I met the general manager of Mandarin Oriental before, and he is very capable, but he used to be."

Chu Huan understood what Xu Yi meant. The general manager of Mandarin Oriental used to make a living in the hands of the Keswick family. Now Mandarin Oriental will be acquired by Jiaku to form a separate hotel group, so this person is considered an outsider. Its loyalty needs to be considered.

   "Arrange for him to meet with me!"

In Chu Huan's view, there is no need to consider the other party's loyalty at this time, because the other party is impossible to have any loyalty to him, but as long as this person has the ability, in the company's business, Chu Huan can also do it. degree, then this person's loyalty can be cultivated slowly.

  Xu Yi nodded and said, "Understood, I will arrange a time in the next few days for the boss to meet him!"

  Chu Huan said with a smile: "Tell Wen Mingzhang, Jardine and Landmark's Hong Kong Electric Group and Heung Kong telephones have been covered for me, and there must be no trouble!"

As I have already said before, Chu Huan, the Hong Kong Electric Group, and Heung Kong Telephone are all companies that value people's livelihood very much, and they have to keep everything in their hands. Business sale of HK Electric Group and Heung Kong Telephone!

Xu Yi nodded first, then sent a document, handed it to Chu Huan, and said: "Boss, this is Wen Mingzhang's recent review of Jardine and Landmark's data and the development strategy they have studied. Take a look and give your instructions!"

  Chu Huan said: "Put it here, tell him, I will give it to him years ago!"

  Xu Yi continued to speak: "There is one more thing, and that is the annual group plenary meeting, where will we hold it this year?"

  In the past two years, Chu Huan chose Los Angeles in North America to hold the event. Chu Huan thought that he would go to his hometown to discuss the two projects with his hometown this year.

   "Let's put it in Tokyo. The group's annual meeting will be held in Tokyo this year. It just so happens that I have something to discuss with Takacho Mitsui!"

  Of the two projects in my hometown, one project involves the chemical industry. The previous negotiation between Chu Huan and Mitsui Gaochang to buy shares in Mitsui Chemicals was actually a preparation for the current project!

  Xu Yidao: "Then I will ask someone to contact the hotel in Tokyo now."

  Chu Huan said: "Contact Tsu Yiming, let the company people stay in his Prince Hotel this time!"

"yes!"

.

   "Chairman, this is our transaction with Wharf, please take a look!"

  Joe John came to Chu Huan's office.

Now that Bao Yugang has completed the acquisition of Wharf, although they are still digesting Wharf, they have not forgotten the original agreement with Chu Huan, that is, after they complete the acquisition of Wharf, they will take Nine Dragons The modern container terminal under the warehouse is sold to the international container terminal under the Hehe International-Wheelock Group. At that time, the two companies will merge to form a new international container terminal company.

  Now Qiao Yuehan came to Chu Huan to talk about this matter.

   "So fast?" Chu Huan asked in surprise.

Qiao Yuehan said with a smile: "Although Bao's acquisition of Wharf has the help of you, the chairman, their investment is also very high. In addition, the stock price of Wharf is now falling again and again, Bao Yugang is also under great pressure. Therefore, he also hopes to withdraw some funds as soon as possible, so as to continue the development of Wharf!"

   Chu Huan nodded, took over the transaction contract between the two parties in his hands, carefully read the contents, and then preached.

   "Very good, everyone is a fair deal, there is no need to modify any regulations, let's sign the contract!"

  Joe John asked: "Chairman, do you want to attend this signing ceremony?"

  Chu Huan shook his head and said, "I won't go, you can take care of it yourself!"

  Joe John nodded, and then began to report to Chu Huan about the situation of Huangpu Commercial Center.

  The construction of Huangpu Commercial Center can be regarded as the most important project of Wohe International-Wheelock.

  Zhenlu Real Estate has its own Zhulu Commercial Center, and Wohe International-Wheelock has its own Huangpu Commercial Center. At the same time, Hongkong Land is currently carrying out its own central district reconstruction plan.

   Now these three projects are also the largest projects in the Xiangjiang real estate industry.

  The Zhulu Commercial Center has been underway for almost five years, and the entire project is only halfway through. It is expected to be officially completed in 1985.

  Whampoa Commercial Center also has a ten-year construction period and is expected to end in 1990.

  As for Hongkong Land's Central District redevelopment plan, it is expected to be completed first.

  Landmark’s central area reconstruction plan started in 1974, but in fact, in 1970, the clues of it could already be seen!

  In June 1970, Hongkong Land bid for a newly reclaimed lot with an area of ​​53,000 square feet in the Central District of Hong Kong Island at a high price of 258 million Hong Kong dollars. Hongkong Land built a 52-storey Kangle Building on this lot.

  The new building was completed in a record-breaking time. It took only one and a half years from the start of construction in October 1971 to the grand "topping" ceremony in April 1973.

  Kangle Building has a total investment of 400 million yuan including land premium, and provides office buildings and shopping malls with a leased area of ​​more than 690,000 square feet.

This was the tallest building in Hong Kong and Asia at that time. It later became the headquarters of the Jardine Group, overlooking the entire Victoria Harbour. Chu Huan has decided to change the name of the building to the Jardine Building, but the owner of the Jardine Group has changed. .

  In 1974, Hongkong Land announced that it would spend 600 million yuan to launch a 10-year central area reconstruction plan.

  The first phase of the project was to rebuild the Alexandra Building. At that time, Hongkong Land proposed to exchange the old Alexandra Building for the General Post Office of the Xiangjiang Government, which was later the former site of the Universal Building. They were rejected and had to rebuild it by themselves.

  New Alexandra Building was completed in 1976, with a height of 36 floors and a total building area of ​​357,000 square feet, 119,000 square feet more than the old Alexandria Building.

  The second phase of the project is the demolition and reconstruction of Gloucester Building and Royal House.

In order to integrate the property into one, so as to build a first-class high-rise commercial building and a shopping mall with a wide platform, Landmark exchanged the then Jardine Building across Pedder Street with Wheelock Company for the Lane Crawford Building, and built Kolo on the original site in 1979. Star Tower and the Landmark Plaza connected to it.

  Now, both the original Jardine Building and the Lane Crawford Building belong to Chu Huan.

  The third phase of the project is to demolish and construct the adjacent Duke's Building and Princess Building, and build the Duke's Building which is similar in shape to the Gloucester Building.

   Originally, according to the plan, the plan would not be officially completed until 1984, but the progress of the project is obviously very good, so it is now expected to be completed in 1982.

As for the Landmark among them, it is also an important asset of Landmark. The entire Landmark has an area of ​​more than 20,000 square feet and has a total of 5 floors of platforms; two of them are basements, and all the platforms are used as boutiques and restaurants with different styles. Various performances can be held in the center of the square—fashion shows, concerts and exhibitions, etc. There are coffee galleries and tea houses around it, and the roof is covered with light-transmitting fiberglass, making it a high-end shopping and entertainment venue in the central district.

The connected Gloucester Building is 47 stories high. The rentable area of ​​the whole building is 600,000 square feet, of which 465,000 square feet are office buildings and the rest are shops. The windows and doors are deeply recessed to take advantage of the structure of the building to shade the windows and doors, and the materials used are aluminum window frames and tinted glass to reduce the heat received by the interior.

  All facilities in the building are controlled by advanced computer systems, including alarm, air intensity adjustment, water supply, lighting, security and communication systems.

  Duke Building is also connected to Landmark and Gloucester Tower. It is 47 floors high and can provide a building rental area of ​​600,000 square feet.

  After the reconstruction of the two buildings, the available area can be increased by 796,000 square feet compared with the original one.

After the completion of the large-scale reconstruction project, the Planning Office of the Hong Kong Government even erected aerial pedestrian bridges between the buildings, and many valuable properties under Hongkong Land, including Kangle Building, Taikoo Building, Mandarin Hotel, Prince Building, Alexandra Building, Gloucester

  Mansion, Duke Building and Landmark Plaza are intersected, and directly connected to various places in the area such as the General Post Office and Star Ferry Pier.

  This is why everyone is talking about Landmark as the brightest pearl in the crown of Heung Kong Real Estate.

   Not to mention that in another time and space, Hong Kong Land also built Exchange Square, but the land required for the construction of Exchange Square will not be available until the Hong Kong government auctions off the land next to Kangle Building in 1982.

   Now there is no hurry.

   After listening to Qiao Yuehan's description of Whampoa Commercial Center, it was already night, and Chu Huan also left the Chinatown and returned to No. 12 Mount Kellett Road.

   Didn't see Cao Yunshang in the living room, Chu Huan asked the servants to know that Cao Yunshang and Vignali were doing spa in the spa room!

   Came to the spa room, Chu Huan saw the two of them.

   "Why did you come back so early today?" Cao Yunshang asked lazily where he was lying.

   "The company has nothing to do and came back first!" Chu Huan sat on the sofa in the room and asked Vignali, "Why are you back?"

  Vignali smiled and said: "Isn't it the Lunar New Year in our Huaguo soon? My daddy asked me to come and celebrate the New Year with you!"

  Cao Yunshang on the side curled her lips. Although the two of them are doing the spa together now, if you want to say how good the relationship between them is now, it really doesn't matter.

   "I wanted to ask her something, so I invited her here!" Cao Yunshang added.

  Through the two people's explanations, Chu Huan understood what Cao Yunshang meant. With the returns from the gold market, Cao Yunshang also had his own investment plan, which was to complete the ongoing acquisition of Gucci.

  Vignelli, as a native Italian with a background of the Black Glove family, naturally knows these things in Italy very well!

  Chu Huan's investment in gold also includes Cao Yunshang's shareholding, but not much, but the income is enough for Cao Yunshang to complete the acquisition of Gucci.

   According to Chu Huan's opinion, Cao Yunshang made a request for a stake in Gucci Group, using the channels of the Empire Fashion Group as a bargaining chip.

  Finally, the two successors of the Gucci family, Aldo and Rudolph, negotiated and each took 5% of the equity as a bargaining chip, and switched to the sales channel of the Imperial Fashion Group.

  Under such circumstances, the Gucci Group has become a company in which Aldo holds 45%, Rudolph holds 45%, and Imperial Fashion Group holds 10%.

  Now Aldo's good son can no longer withstand the temptation of the Imperial Fashion Group, and has handed over evidence of his old father's Aldo's tax evasion to the Imperial Fashion Group.

   Recently, Empire Fashion Group is using these chips to negotiate with Aldo, hoping to acquire the shares of Gucci in Aldo's hands.

   It turns out that Aldo is also a hard stubble. The Empire Fashion Group can want to own the shares of Gucci, but the asking price is a sky-high price, which cannot be accepted by the Empire Fashion Group.

   And Aldo said that he would not give the money, so even if you send me to prison, I will not sell my shares in Gucci to the Empire Fashion Group!

   "So you are going to agree to the other party's offer now?"

  Chu Huan sat on the sofa and asked Cao Yunshang.

While enjoying the massage girl's massage, Cao Yunshang said: "The price proposed by Aldo is definitely unacceptable, he is killing a big family, my opinion is that he must think that the evidence in our hands, even if it will If he is sent to prison, according to his status in Italy, he will definitely be able to get out soon, so he is so confident!"

  Chu Huan nodded, and then continued to ask: "Then you called Vignali here just to see if you can get more evidence of Aldo?"

  Cao Yunshang smiled and nodded: "That's right, I have studied Aldo. Since he can do tax evasion, there must be more things outside."

  Chu Huan nodded with a smile, but still said: "It's a good idea, but it's actually putting the cart before the horse!"

  Both Cao Yunshang and Vignali showed puzzled expressions, and they also looked at Chu Huan curiously.

  Seeing that although the two were covered with blankets, but their fragrant shoulders were outside, Chu Huan waved his hand and let the two massage girls go out, and the one who went out last closed the door.

   After omitting a chapter.

  Chu Huan was enjoying the double massage of Cao Yunshang and Vignali, and Cao Yunshang asked Chu Huan gently: "Brother Huan, what kind of method is it?"

Chu Huan said with a smile: "Whether it is Aldo or Rudolph, they actually want to obtain the absolute management rights of Gucci. Before that, they both have equal equity, so no one can do anything to the other. At the same time, between their equity In addition, there is no third-party force, which allows them to maintain absolute equality.

   But it is different now. Now there is an Empire Fashion Group in the Gucci Group, and now Aldo thinks that he has the initiative. It is certain that the Empire Fashion Group wants to acquire Gucci.

That's why I opened my mouth to the Lion of the Empire Fashion Group, but if we tell him at this time that we are going to give up 10% of the shares in the Gucci Group and sell the 10% shares to Rudolph, guess what the consequences will be for Al In more terms, what will it be like? "

  When relatives turn against each other, the resentment between them will be stronger than that of ordinary people. For Aldo, they can accept that Gucci will eventually be acquired by a foreign consortium, but they absolutely cannot accept that Gucci Group will be taken over by the other party.

   And Chu Huan saw this problem, so he gave his own opinion.

After Cao Yunshang finished listening, she immediately showed a smile with understanding, and said: "Yes, why didn't I think of this method, in fact, we don't need to tell Aldo to sell Gucci shares to Rudolph, just tell him, We will support Rudolph as the sole chairman of Gucci Group, and we will support Rudolph to dilute Aldo's shares through the expansion of Gucci Group.

   At that time, Aldo will not dare to talk to us lions anymore! "

  Chu Huan nodded with a smile, "That's the truth."

  Cao Yunshang put on her coat, got off the bed, and said with a smile, "I'll call Italy right now!"

   Came to the phone in the room, and Cao Yunshang dialed the number in Italy.

  Chu Huan looked at Cao Yunshang and smiled.

.

Sure enough, as Chu Huan expected, Aldo could accept the Empire Fashion Group to take over the Gucci Group, but he could not accept Rudolph’s own younger brother to take over the Gucci Group. After two rounds of negotiations with the Italian branch of the Empire Fashion Group, it was finally Agreed to sell his shares in Gucci.

   The reason why it is so easy is that Aldo knows that he has no chance of winning, and more importantly, the bargaining chip in the hands of the Empire Fashion Group regarding his tax evasion also played an important role, even an inducement!

  Because Aldo couldn't accept it, he watched his brother take over the Gucci Group in the cell.

  This will make his psychological gap even bigger.

  Cao Yunshang also flew to Italy for this, and Chu Huan found it interesting that Vignali went to Italy with Cao Yunshang.

  Cao Yunshang only stayed in Italy for three days before completing the acquisition of Aldo's shares.

   "That is to say, from now on, the opponent of the Empire Fashion Group has shifted from Aldo to Rudolph?"

   After Chu Huan received Cao Yunshang and Vignali at the airport, he asked with a smile in the car.

  Cao Yunshang had a happy smile on his face at this time, and said: "With Aldo's shares in Gucci, Rudolph is nothing to be afraid of!"

  As early as when Cao Yunshang wanted to acquire Gucci, the two were communicating about this matter. In fact, they have already said that in the capital market, capital is king!

  Why Aldo was worried about Cao Yunshang using his own shares to support Rudolph, it was because if Rudolph had the funds of the Imperial Fashion Group, he would dilute his shares through a series of business operations.

   Now that Cao Yunshang has obtained 45% of Gucci Group's shares from Aldo, Empire Fashion Group already holds 55% of Gucci's shares and has become Gucci's largest shareholder.

The rest is for Cao Yunshang to use the rules of the capital market to put pressure on Rudolph, and then see if the other party is willing to see the shares in his hands being continuously diluted, or sell his Gucci shares to Cao Yunshang at a good price .

   "I have asked the people from the Italian branch to contact Rudolph to see if the other party can sell their shares in Gucci happily. I still hope that we can get together and leave!"

  Cao Yunshang said with a smile.

  Chu Huan nodded, and said: "I think as long as Rudolph is not an idiot, he will definitely make a correct choice!"

  Cao Yunshang smiled and said, "I think so too."

  Chu Huan congratulated: "Congratulations, women all over the world will be crazy about your products from now on."

  Cao Yunshang corrected Chu Huan and said, "It should be crazy about our products!"

  Chu Huan nodded indifferently, and then Cao Yunshang continued to talk to Chu Huan: "Brother Huan, next I need the cooperation of Black and White Media and Vertex Pictures!"

  Chu Huan understood what Cao Yunshang meant. The success of the luxury brand was not because of the brand name, but because of this brand.

   And the most important thing is to make ordinary consumers always appear in the most glamorous place when they see this brand.

  The easiest place in the world to attract the spotlight is actually the entertainment industry.

The black-and-white media is in charge of the Asian and European film circles. Vertex Films has a pivotal position in the North American film circle, and this is what Cao Yunshang values ​​most. The top female artists in these places will show their love to the public from time to time. The obsession and presence of this brand.

"It's not enough to have these top female artists in the entertainment industry. You need to have more say in the fashion industry. Popularity and fashion can be defined artificially. If there is enough obsession, and there are more fashion magazines and fashion reviews that are authoritative enough for ordinary people to praise this brand, then this brand will become a fashion-leading luxury product!"

  Chu Huan and Cao Yunshang shared their concept of so-called fashion and luxury!

  A vegetable basket with the LV brand on it can become a fashion product. This is the most intuitive concept.

  As long as this brand truly becomes an authority in the luxury circle, no matter what weird product it launches, it will be defined as fashion.

   If you have any other opinions, you will even be labeled as not understanding fashion and luxury by those people.

  Cao Yunshang nodded and said, "I'm ready to buy some European and American fashion magazines!"

  Chu Huan nodded, and said with a smile: "Find some designers above the standard, design a few products that can tell stories, and then have various top-notch recommendations, the products will naturally be top-notch luxury goods!"

  Cao Yunshang showed approval.

Vignali on the side looked at Chu Huan and Cao Yunshang dully at this moment, shook her head and said, "God, let you two talk like this, I suddenly feel like I was an idiot for buying those products like crazy !"

  Chu Huan looked at Vignali's appearance, smiled and said: "I have a saying for your behavior, which is called paying IQ tax. I think it's quite appropriate!"

   Cao Yunshang couldn't help laughing when he heard what Chu Huan said, while Vignali gave Chu Huan a blank look, and then spoke.

   "You don't have to be so happy. In the future, your children will be crazy about these things, and they will also be paying IQ tax!"

  Cao Yunshang shook his head and smiled: "No, you are wrong, they are not paying IQ tax, but promoting our own products!"

   When Vignali thought of Chu Huan's financial resources, and then thought that the so-called luxury consumers are most concerned about the purchase level of those real ladies and ladies, she understood what Cao Yunshang meant.

   Isn’t it just promoting your own products?

  Vignali sat slumped in the back seat, and said with a wry smile: "It seems to be true."

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