MTL - The Most Powerful Tycoon Reborn In Xiangjiang-v2 Chapter 798 The Four Mysterious Figures in the Hong Kong Business Circle (7K Large)
Chapter 798 Four Mysterious Figures in the Xiangjiang Business World (7K chapter, ask for a monthly ticket~)
After entering 1981, there was less and less news about Jiaku in the Xiangjiang business community.
It is understandable to say that this is the time when Xiangjiang's business community is in a downturn, but now that Xiangjiang's development is doing well, Jiaku seems to be very low-key, which is somewhat unpredictable.
Especially the bidding for the reconstruction project of the HSBC Building and the bidding for the property development rights of the MTR Corporation on the subway station. These two major projects can be said to have attracted the attention of all Xiangjiang people, and no group of the Jiaku group participated bidding.
This has to make people curious.
Of course, this kind of curiosity is limited to the medium-sized consortia in Xiangjiang, the companies below, and ordinary people.
Those top Xiangjiang businessmen still know that there is actually a shadow of Jiaku in these two projects.
But no matter what, compared to Jiaku, which made big news from time to time in the 1970s, after entering the 1980s, it has become much more low-key visible to the naked eye.
In addition, today's Xiangjiang is developing too fast, and various group companies are developing rapidly. In less than two years, Carrian has grown from a company with a market value of just over 100 million to a A large consortium with a market value of more than 3 billion Hong Kong dollars.
is enough to attract the attention of many people.
Regardless of whether it is in the business circle or the entertainment circle, the situation is actually the same. In a period of rapid development, if you do not appear in front of the public for a long time, no matter how popular you were before, you will be quickly dismissed. forgot.
This is why so many artists from South Korea and Taiwan are trying their best to escape their military service.
They are really afraid that their fans will forget them.
Although the business circle is not like this, the situation is generally similar.
As Jiaku’s major actions in Xiangjiang are becoming less and less, even if there are actions, they are all done in the name of various group branches. The name Ku was placed deepest in his memory.
If this situation continues, after a few years, some old people may suddenly mention a word: Jiaku? I know that the largest consortium in Hong Kong used to overwhelm HSBC, but now it seems that I haven't heard his name for a long time!
And this is actually the effect Chu Huan is pursuing.
There is no need for Chu Huan to pay attention to the ups and downs outside. At this time, Chu Huan is basically in Xiangjiang. Decided to meet important tasks to win over the relationship between the two parties, or to add some equipment to the two major investment plans in the hometown.
So, in May, the bidding for the reconstruction project of the HSBC Building officially ended.
Contrary to everyone's expectations, South Korea's Hyundai Group won the project to rebuild the HSBC Building this time.
"Director Chu, thank you very much for taking care of us during this period of time. Without Jiaku, it would be impossible for our Hyundai Group to win this project."
On this day, Zheng Mengxian came to Chu Huan's office and preached to Chu Huan with joy.
Successfully won the reconstruction plan of the HSBC Building, and then negotiated with Chu Huan on the supply of timber raw materials. Zheng Mengxian's trip to Xiangjiang this time can be said to be smooth, which made Zheng Mengxian a little unbelievable.
But this is not important anymore. The successful completion of this project has made his position in the Hyundai Group even stronger.
Chu Huan said with a smile on his face: "Mr. Zheng, you are being polite. This is a manifestation of the strength of your modern group. In fact, our Jiaku did not help much."
Chu Huan can be said to be modest, but Zheng Mengxian cannot take all this for granted.
"Mr. Chu, don't worry, we will be best friends from now on. If there is anything I can use for Jiaku's business in South Korea, please feel free to speak up!"
Zheng Mengxian was really happy. Just before he came to see Chu Huan, he received a call from his father. On the phone, Zheng Zhouyong praised Zheng Mengxian's behavior in Xiangjiang very much, and said that after Zheng Mengxian returned to fight South Korea, he would send him away. Arrange to enter the board of directors of Hyundai Group and officially become the executive director of Hyundai Group!
You must know that before this, only Zheng Mengjiu had this treatment.
"Mr. Chu, I'm going back to Seoul tomorrow. I hope that Mr. Chu will give you a lot of support for the matter in Xiangjiang!"
Although Zheng Mengxian is the main person in charge of the reconstruction of Xiangjiang Huifeng Building, but now that the project has been taken down by Hyundai Group, he will not stay in Xiangjiang for a long time. The implementers of specific projects will stay in this category.
Chu Huan nodded and said with a smile: "This is what it should be, after all, we are also a cooperative relationship!"
Zheng Mengxian breathed a sigh of relief and said: "I am relieved to have what you said, Chairman Chu. To be honest, I am still a little apprehensive now. I am afraid that some accidents will occur during the implementation of this project."
Chu Huan said with a smile: "As long as everything is done according to the requirements, there will be no problems. If there is a problem, we will definitely help where we can help!"
Zheng Mengxian thanked again: "I will come to Xiangjiang often in the future, and I will definitely remember the friendship of President Chu in my heart."
After some reservations from both parties, Zheng Mengxian left the Chinese Bank.
"Boss, it seems that Zheng Zhouyong still hasn't forgotten the humiliation you gave him before!"
After Zheng Mengxian left, Xu Yi smiled and preached to Chu Huan.
"According to the normal process, although Hyundai Group is responsible for this matter, Zheng Mongxian is in charge, but according to the size of this project, Zheng Zhouyong is going to come to Xiangjiang to sign a formal contract with HSBC on behalf of Hyundai Group, but this time it is completely responsible for Zheng Mongxian. It can be seen that Zheng Zhouyong doesn't like Xiangjiang very much!"
Chu Huan laughed after hearing this, and said: "I don't like South Korea yet, but this does not prevent us from making money in South Korea, so there is nothing to say about these things. Now we just need to develop according to our plan!"
Xu Yi nodded, and then reported to Chu Huan the situation of Jiaku recently.
"The soybean product company Krabi Group, which we cooperated with Guo, has been officially established. The first research and development is the edible oil with Arowana as the flagship product, which is expected to be officially launched at the end of the year."
Chu Huan had already discussed this matter with Guo when he was in Brazil. Of course, the Arowana brand was taken out by Chu Huan in advance. At the same time, the headquarters of the Krabi Group did not want the future Yihai Group to be placed in Singapore. But in Xiangjiang.
In addition to edible oil, Krabi Group will also develop various products, but Arowana edible oil is definitely the flagship product of Krabi Group at this stage.
"In addition, the seed company Jiawang Group has also been established, and now its research laboratory in Brazil has been listed. It is now recruiting various scientific researchers around the world. It is also expected to officially start research at the end of this year!
The warehousing group in Brazil has started construction and is expected to be completed in March next year. "
After speaking, Xu Yi reminded Chu Huandao.
"Boss, as we invest more and more in this area, the four major grain merchants will definitely focus on us, especially now that we have started to purchase farms and build warehouses in Argentina."
Chu Huan nodded after listening, and said: "What should come will always come, we can't give up our own development just because they are here, but it is already a very good situation for us now, let them give us arrogance." This is our best opportunity for development!"
The four major grain merchants never thought that someone would challenge their monopoly position in this field, so when Jiasheng Grain Group was established, the four major grain merchants did not take it seriously.
But they didn't put themselves in the eyes, but Chu Huan had to be wary of them.
So in the initial stage, the agricultural development of the entire Jiaku was divided into several groups by Chu Huan at the same time, and the company responsible for Brazilian agricultural planting, storage, acquisition and other businesses was established as Jiasheng Food Group.
Jiawang Group is responsible for seed research and development and other agricultural products.
Krabi Group is responsible for the finished product processing link.
At the same time, in the future, after the contract between Chu Huan, Bao Yugang and others expires, Wheelock Shipping will be responsible for their transportation.
Although this kind of behavior will not be hidden for too long, it is successful for Chu Huan for a little time.
"Our Jiayue Iron and Steel Group in Australia has been completed. The person in charge over there called and invited you, the chairman, to preside over the opening ceremony!"
From the perspective of agriculture and mining, it can actually be seen that Chu Huan is consciously reducing the frequency of appearance of Jiaku in the world, and all of them use other company names.
Chu Huan said to Xu Yi: "I would like to extend an invitation to our partners in Xiangjiang and Mitsui Gaochang from Mitsui & Co., let's go together!"
Xu Yi nodded.
In the next few days, Chu Huan's major partners in Xiangjiang received a call from Jiaku's office. Naturally, everyone had no objection, and they all expressed that they would definitely go there happily.
However, before everyone went to Australia, there was another major event going on in Xiangjiang, which also attracted the attention of all Xiangjiang real estate companies!
This matter is about the MTR company’s bidding for property development rights above nine subway stations.
This incident can be said to have attracted the attention of all real estate companies in Xiangjiang except the three major real estate groups under Jiaku!
By the end of May, the winning company finally came out.
The development in Xiangjiang in the past two years is like the Carrian Group with its wings!
After the bidding results came out, Carrian immediately sent a deposit of 400 million yuan, and Qian Zhengnan held a press conference on behalf of Chen Songqing.
At the meeting, Qian Zhengnan answered questions from many reporters.
Among them, what most people ask is what kind of capital behind Carrian can support their rapid development.
Regarding this question, it is naturally impossible for Qian Zhengnan to answer directly. After all, even he himself does not know.
But this does not prevent Qian Zhengnan from talking about his praise of Carrian Group.
The reporters at the scene actually had their own answers in their hearts. Anyway, it was what they said before. They didn’t think that Carrian had the capital of Wall Street, but the capital of the Thai royal family was the capital of the Soviet Union Bank.
No matter what, Carrian was able to get this project, which surprised many people.
On the second day, the major newspapers in Xiangjiang gave their front page headlines to Carrian.
‘Xiangjiang’s new generation of business empire—Carrian! '
As the head of Carrian, Chen Songqing has already become the most popular person in Xiangjiang during this period, coupled with his low-key and mysterious personality, almost no newspaper can interview Chen Songqing, which adds to Chen Songqing's reputation. more topical.
Some media have even placed Chen Songqing as one of the four mysterious figures in the Xiangjiang business world!
Chu Huan, Chen Haichao, Zhu Xiaozhao, and Chen Songqing are the four mysterious figures in the Xiangjiang business world!
In fact, before that, Chu Huan was not on the list. After all, Chu Huan was still very high-profile in the 1970s, but after entering the 1980s, Chu Huan completely stopped appearing in public, which also added to Chu Huan's reputation. of mystery.
Chen Haichao has nothing to say. Since the establishment of Kyushu, he has not been interviewed by the media. Even now, many people in Xiangjiang do not know that the chairman of Kyushu is Chen Haichao.
Zhu Xiaozhao actually made a high-profile once when Yunhai Group dominated Xiangjiang’s retail industry, but the high-profile thing at that time was that Yunhai Group was not Zhu Xiaozhao. Later, everyone knew that Yunhai Group actually had a deep connection with Chu Huan’s Jiaku.
At that time, many people began to speculate on the relationship between Chu Huan and Zhu Xiaozhao.
However, Chu Huan and Zhu Xiaozhao did not respond positively to this matter. Afterwards, various things happened in Xiangjiang, and everyone forgot about this matter.
As for the mystery of Chen Songqing, it was mentioned during this period. Last year, although Carrian's development was rapid, there were no single events that were too eye-catching. Now Carrian has defeated many real estate companies in Xiangjiang in one fell swoop and won This project of the MTR Corporation has become the most high-profile businessman in Hong Kong.
There will be more discussions about him!
"Chairman, according to our people's report, since the meeting with you, Chen Songqing has met with the general manager of Yumin Finance three times, with Roy Bentley of HSBC once, and with Shen Bi twice. Second-rate!"
Wu Xiaohui was called to the office by Chu Huan, and Wu Xiaohui was reporting Chen Songqing's situation to Chu Huan at this time.
After listening, Chu Huan smiled and said, "It seems that HSBC has supported Carrian this time!"
Wu Xiaohui said with a smile: "According to the information we have received, HSBC has provided nearly HK$1 billion in funds for Carrian, including long-term loans and short-term loans!"
Heung Kong has only one A-ku, and only a company with the size of A-ku is not worried about a loan of 1 billion Hong Kong dollars, and this loan is not a small loan to other groups in Heung-kong.
You must know that in another time and space, when a group of the size of Landmark was burdened with a loan of 1.5 billion, it was almost crushed, let alone a consortium like Carrian.
And this is only the loan from HSBC Bank to Carrian. If you add the loans from Yumin Finance and other banks, the loan from Carrian at this time is already an astronomical figure.
"Before destroying it, make it crazy!"
Chu Huan smiled indifferently: "Let's see what kind of changes Carrian will bring to Xiangjiang this time!"
No matter what, now is definitely not the time for Carrian's collapse, so Chu Huan temporarily put Carrian's situation aside.
Now that the MTR company’s bidding has ended, Chu Huan has officially led these rich businessmen from Hong Kong to Australia to participate in the opening ceremony of Jiayue Iron and Steel Group!
Originally, in Chu Huan's mind, after having this project, Carrian should not expand wildly like another time and space, but should settle down and develop this project of MTR Corporation.
As a result, Chu Huan still underestimated Chen Songqing's madness.
Throughout the 1981 years, Carrian did not stop his crazy expansion.
After entering June, Carrian announced that it would purchase about 10% of the shares of the listed company Youlian Bank at a price of HK$9 per share.
In June of the same year, Carrian announced that it had reached an agreement with Ayala International (Enterprise) Co., Ltd., the Philippine major shareholder of Chang Life Water and Fire Insurance Co., Ltd. Carrian exchanged 15 million shares (equivalent to 6% of the issued shares of Carrian Real Estate) for Qichang Life Insurance 46% stake.
Qichang Life Insurance is a listed company in Hong Kong. Its business is mainly engaged in life insurance, family marine insurance and fire insurance. It has branches and agencies in England, Australia, Malaysia, Singapore and Thailand.
In August, the consortium consisting of Carrian Properties (33%), Great Eagle (25%), Carrian Group (22%), Miramar (7.5%) and New King Fung (7.5%), Announced the purchase of a piece of land in the old wing of the Miramar Hotel from Miramar at a price of 2.8 billion Hong Kong dollars. Daily payment, the land plans to build a "Landmark" type commercial building, and the entire project is expected to be completed by the end of 1995.
Also in August of this year, Carrian announced that it would cooperate with Great Eagle to purchase 69,400 square feet of land from Swire at a price of HK$120 million to transform it into an industrial building.
In November, Carrian struck again, announcing that it would exchange Carrian shares for a 50% stake in a New Zealand insurance company!
It can be said that in the entire Xiangjiang business community, the most lively is the Carrian Group.
At this time, Chu Huan was sitting on the sofa in his office, looking at the newspaper in his hand. The development of Carrian this year also attracted the attention of Xiangjiang media.
But not everyone is optimistic about the development of Carrian.
"Carrian is like a greedy housewife who runs into a supermarket and puts the right thing in the basket when she sees it, regardless of the price tag!"
Seeing that some commentators in the newspaper commented on Carrian's development this year, Chu Huan just smiled and put the newspaper aside.
Wu Shuhan, who just returned to Xiangjiang from his hometown, now has a more capable temperament on Wu Shuhan's body.
"I didn't expect that the fastest growing company in Xiangjiang would be Carrian!"
Wu Shuhan looked at the newspaper in his hand, and also preached with some curiosity.
"Castles in the air are just making wedding dresses for others!"
Chu Huan preached lightly.
"Actually, if there is no market crisis, Carrian's development may not have any problems?" Wu Shuhan expressed his opinion.
Wu Shuhan naturally couldn't predict like Chu Huan that Xiangjiang's market next year will undergo earth-shaking changes, but she also heard Chu Huan analyze some of Xiangjiang's situation next year.
In Wu Shuhan's view, although Carrian's development is fast, as long as Carrian's stock price can remain so strong, then Carrian will not make a comeback!
Chu Huan smiled and said, "How can the market be always good?"
To be honest, regarding the development of Carrian this year, there are still some things that surprised Chu Huan, that is, when the land in the old wing of the Miramar Hotel was acquired, in another time and space Carrian and Landmark jointly carried out the .
But now that Hongkong Land has been acquired by Chu Huan, it is natural that he did not participate in this matter.
But he didn't expect Carrian to get in touch with Luo Yingshi of Eagle King. In Carrian's expansion, Eagle King became a special existence.
By cooperating with Carrian, Great Eagle Group also expanded within this year and became a well-known real estate company in Xiangjiang.
But thinking about it, Chu Huan guessed the reason. Among Xiangjiang Real Estate Company, Eagle and Carrian have the deepest relationship with HSBC. It is understandable that these two groups are now cooperating.
In fact, in another time and space, the real estate company that received the most help from HSBC in this era should be Changshi Real Estate in Lijiacheng.
But although the relationship between Li Jiacheng and Shen Bi is still there, the lack of Changshi's acquisition of Hehuang caused the connection between Changshi and HSBC to decrease.
"Let's go, it's time to go back!"
Chu Huan said with a smile.
Wu Shuhan nodded and looked at the already dark sky outside, took out Chu Huan's coat from the hanger, helped Chu Huan put it on, and the two walked out of the office together.
Wu Shuhan followed Chu Huan to Miao Kexiu's villa in the middle of the mountain. During this time, Chu Huan had been coming here. Finally gave birth to a girl for Chu Huan this year.
Named Chu Shiqin!
As Chu Huan's first daughter, Chu Huan naturally likes it very much, so in the past few months, Chu Huan will come to Miao Kexiu when she is free.
In addition, Tanaka Anhui also gave birth to a son for Chu Huan, named Chu Shixuan.
Since then, Chu Huan has four sons and one daughter.
After giving birth to Chu Shixuan, Anhui Tanaka did not return to Tokyo, Japan, but stayed in Xiangjiang. Her residence was next to that of Ryoko Sumitomo, and they would often meet each other on weekdays.
Although Miao Kexiu, who was sitting on the sofa, was chatting with Wu Shuhan, her eyes were always looking at Chu Huan and Chu Shiqin.
In fact, the first child she gave birth failed to be a son, which made Miao Kexiu a little disappointed, but when she saw that Chu Huan's love for Chu Shiqin was extraordinary, the disappointment in her heart disappeared.
"How's Yunshang doing? You two are here today, Yunshang won't have any objections?"
Miao Kexiu asked Wu Shuhan softly.
Cao Yunshang was pregnant again, and it was confirmed just over ten days ago, so Miao Kexiu asked this question at this time.
Wu Shuhan smiled and said: "It's okay, Aunt Zhou has moved to No. 12 now, Brother Huan specially called Sister Yunshang before coming here!"
Miao Kexiu just nodded, smiled and looked at Chu Huan holding Chu Shiqin silly, and asked Wu Shuhan after a while.
"I heard from Brother Huan that you must have been busy in your hometown this year. It must have been very hard, right?"
Wu Shuhan looked at Chu Shiqin in Chu Huan's arms with some envy, and then said with a smile: "It's actually not that hard. Someone will do the specific things. I just need to be responsible for the overall planning and prevent corruption. !"
Miao Kexiu also said enviously: "It's great that you are like this, and you can also help Brother Huan with business matters. Unlike us, we can only stay at home and look after the children!"
Wu Shuhan said: "I still envy you, Sister Xiu, how nice it is to have a daughter, this is a little padded jacket!"
Speaking of this, Wu Shuhan suddenly smiled, and said to Miao Kexiu: "Sister Xiu, do you know what Brother Huan said about the difference between a daughter and a son?"
Miao Kexiu also asked curiously: "How do you say that?"
Wu Shuhan said: "Brother Huan said at the time that a son is an umbrella. It can't be that it rains every day, but my daughter is different. This is a padded jacket, which must be worn at all times!"
After listening, Miao Kexiu covered her mouth and smiled lightly, and then preached to Wu Shuhan.
"Shu Han, although you need to worry about the company's affairs, but you can't finish the work. You should have a baby with Brother Huan as soon as possible!"
Wu Shuhan blushed slightly, but still nodded.
"What are you two talking about? So happy?"
At this moment, Chu Huan came to the side of the two of them with Chu Shiqin in his arms, and asked curiously.
Chu Huan had been teasing Chu Shiqin just now, and didn't notice what the two of them said.
Miao Kexiu took Chu Shiqin from Chu Huan's hand, and said with a smile, "I didn't talk about anything, I just talked about women's affairs!"
Chu Huan nodded without paying attention, and said with a smile: "I don't think you should come back to film again, or you will definitely miss Qinqin's growth in the future!"
Miao Kexiu did not reject Chu Huan's decision. In fact, she already had plans to quit acting as the first generation female artist of black and white video.
Miao Kexiu has already taken all the honors she can get at this time, her own salary over the years, plus what Chu Huan gave, and the money that Fengwu Securities helped invest.
It can be said that Miao Kexiu herself is a well-to-do rich woman, even if there is no support from Chu Huan in the future, her life will not be bad.
And these years, most of the movies Miao Kexiu made were action movies. Even with the care of the set, they were more or less injured. Now Xiying is at home to take care of the children, but it is easy.
"Well, I listen to Brother Huan!"
Wu Shuhan smiled and said: "If this is the case, the fans of Xiangjiang will be disappointed. I will never see your performance again, Miss Xiu!"
Chu Huan asked: "Do you want Fang Jianhui to help you with a shadow-retirement ceremony?"
Now Miao Kexiu can be called the No. 1 female artist in Xiangjiang, and it is not an exaggeration to hold a ceremony to take a rest now.
Miao Kexiu shook her head and said: "Forget it, it's quite troublesome, and if one day my addiction to drama breaks out again and I want to make a movie, then the movie fans will say that I broke my promise!"
Chu Huan nodded after listening, and didn't say anything!
Thank you everyone, the typo is corrected first and then corrected~
