The Most Powerful Tycoon Reborn In Xiangjiang

Chapter 395 The Acquisition of Hehe International and the Reform of Hehe International (7K chapter,

No matter how popular news is, it is time-sensitive.

It is now the end of June, and for more than half a month, the explosive news that Chu Huan is the richest man in Hong Kong, the richest man in China, with a net worth of more than 60 billion has gradually become dull.

This made Chu Huan a little disappointed. He was not disappointed that the news disappeared so soon, but disappointed that the merger of Hang Lung Properties and Huhua Properties had not been completed, which led him to want to use himself as the richest man The idea that this news dilutes the news of the merger between Hang Lung Properties and Huhua Properties may go bankrupt.

Just like the entertainment industry, there are old people who are gradually withdrawing from the mainstream, and there are newcomers who are just becoming popular.

When the news about Chu Huan became dull, Xiangjiang's media immediately found a new hot spot!

That's about Hehe International!

As one of the four major British consortiums in Hong Kong, Hehe International, his news breaking point is no less than that of Chu Huan.

And the source of this explosive point is that the "Letter" got the exact news.

Hehe International's projects in Indonesia have encountered a cash crisis, and now the Indonesian side has sent people to Xiangjiang, the purpose of which is to call for the cash owed by Hehe International.

At the same time, the "Letter" even broke out that the Indonesian side has even made the worst plan. If Hehe International cannot repay their arrears, then the Indonesian side will seek legal channels to demand that Hehe International be liquidated!

After this news came out, it immediately occupied the headlines of the major media in Xiangjiang.

In addition, quite a few media have listed the development history of Hehe International in order to prove that Qi Dezun's development strategy was wrong from the very beginning.

"Wrong decision, wrong person, wrong way of expansion!" -- "Sing Tao Daily"

"When a person is blinded by interests, even if this person is a genius, he will fail!" -- "Oriental Daily"

All of a sudden, Xiangjiang's media pointed their finger at Qi Dezun, who was praised by countless people, who once led Hehe International to the four major foreign companies of British capital.

At this time, what Qi Dezun reaped was no longer honors and flowers, but verbal criticism with a unified caliber.

Among them, the most severe words are not Chinese newspapers, but those English newspapers.

‘An old man who is so disappointing that he is speechless! '--"South China Morning Post"

"The face of the merchants of the British Empire is disgraced by such a person, a conceited and proud old man, who spent his whole life destroying the glory of the merchants of the British Empire in Asia.

If the Great British Empire had a caesarean section, I would suggest that Qi Dezun can do it now."

HSBC!

Sha Ya looked at the newspaper in his hand, with an indifferent smile on his face, and put it aside casually. If it was before meeting Chu Huan, he would have collected the current information seriously, but now Sha Ya will not.

Because he has a more ambitious goal!

But Sha Ya has no idea about Hehe International, but it doesn't mean that other people are also like this.

Among them, Shen Bi is the most willing in this regard.

"Mr. Taipan, now Chu Huan's influence in Xiangjiang is getting bigger and bigger, and he can even influence the decisions of you and the Hong Kong government. If we don't increase our influence in Xiangjiang, we will be caught up by Chu Huan sooner or later! "

Shen Bi already knew about the negotiation process between Chu Huan and Sha Ya at the Royal Golf Course.

Roy Bentley was also in Sha Ya's office at this time, and he habitually argued with Shen Bi: "Now everyone is talking about Hehe International, so what's the matter with Chu Huan?"

Shen Bi glanced at Roy Bentley with disdain, and then said sharply: "Everyone knows that Hehe International is at its weakest now, if we can make a move at this time, we can definitely take Hehe International, we can think of this One point, Chu Huan can naturally think of this point, if he takes over this company with a traditional history in Xiangjiang again, the prestige he will gain will definitely not be less than that of becoming the richest man."

Chu Huan became the richest man in Xiangjiang relying on "Fantasy Comics" and its surrounding areas, but these two industries are really unpopular industries in Xiangjiang. On the contrary, Hehe International, because of its predecessor, Hutchison \u0026 Co., Huangpu Dockyard has been in Xiangjiang for a hundred years or so. With a history of nearly a hundred years, even if the profit of Hehe International is not even the leader of "Fantasy Comics" and its surrounding areas, its influence is huge.

That's why Shen Bi made such a statement.

Roy Bentley didn't care about Shen Bi's attitude, but smiled calmly: "Didn't Mr. Shen say before that we should change our strategy of getting along with Chu Huan, why are we going to target Chu Huan again now? Is it because Chu Huan didn't accept your kindness in the development of Jiandong?"

Shen Bi snorted coldly, and said, "I'm doing everything for the sake of the company. Chu Huan's status is different. We at HSBC will naturally change our strategy for getting along with him. There is no problem with this, but the company's final decision The purpose is to infiltrate into Chu Huan's fantasy comic club, and to achieve this, we need to let Chu Huan understand that as long as we have HSBC, he can't get what he wants in Xiangjiang!"

Roy Bentley curled his lips, and said indifferently: "Mr. Shen may have forgotten that HSBC cannot directly manage non-financial companies."

Shen Bi smiled easily, and said: "What's the matter, we don't need to manage it ourselves, we just need to hire a team of professional managers to reform Hehe International in the name of solving the existing problems of Hehe International. When the time is right, we can completely Sell ​​it to a company that holds us in great reverence at HSBC.

In this way, we will gain a lot of fame and wealth in Xiangjiang! "

Roy Bentley said: "It's easy to say, if that professional manager doesn't bring Hehe International out of the quagmire in the future, then what we at HSBC will gain is not fame and fortune, but the evaluation that Qi Dezun has now. "

Seeing that the two of them were going to become more and more noisy, Sha Ya spoke up.

"Okay, stop arguing, what does it look like for people to see?"

Seeing Sha Ya speak, Shen Bi and Roy Bentley stopped their quarrel, and then looked at Sha Ya in unison.

Now at HSBC, it is Sha Ya who has the absolute right to speak!

"If it was in the past, I would definitely support Mr. Shen's opinion and win Hehe International. This is indeed what Mr. Shen said before. If we win Hehe International and operate properly, our HSBC can indeed gain a lot of prestige and wealth. !"

A disappointed expression appeared on Shen Bi's face, a 'if', which shows that there must be a 'but' behind it.

Often, the "but" in the back of this if is not a good word!

Sure enough, what Sha Ya said later was something Shen Bi didn't want to hear.

"However, the current situation is one time and another. HSBC's development in Xiangjiang has reached the ceiling. No matter what kind of prestige, it is just icing on the cake for HSBC. But if we can expand our stronghold outside Asia , then it will be extremely beneficial to HSBC's future global development, because then, HSBC will no longer be just a bank living in Asia.

It is a large international commercial bank.

As for what Mr. Shen was worried about just now, Chu Huan would take advantage of the chaos to attack Hehe International. This is impossible. Chu Huan's goal is Yihe, not Hehe International. "

Speaking of this, Sha Ya thought of the conversation between the two when she and Chu Huan were playing before, and she was too tender to try to lie to me.

Sha Ya thought complacently, and then continued to explain to Shen Bi: "Although Hehe International is one of the four major British-funded consortiums, and also owns such high-quality land as Whampoa Dockyard and Junyi Warehouse, Hehe International itself has too many problems. Yes, in order to solve these problems, sufficient funds are needed.

Don't look outside saying that Chu Huan is the richest man in Hong Kong, with a yearly profit of more than 6 billion, but in fact, we all know that Chu Huan doesn't have much cash in his hands, otherwise he wouldn't have borrowed money to help us acquire Ocean Milan Bank , plus the construction of the Jiandong land that he is about to start, it will be a huge expenditure. He can't afford to buy a Hehe International that is already riddled with holes! "

"What if? What if what Chu Huan is doing now is just to numb us?" Shen Bi didn't want to give up this opportunity.

Roy Bentley seized on Shen Bi's words, and immediately attacked: "So, Shen always doesn't believe Sha Ya Taipan's judgment?"

Although Sha Ya knew that Roy Bentley was trying to sow discord, she still looked at Shen Bi with dissatisfaction!

Shen Bi could only quickly explain that he didn't mean that.

In the end, Sha Ya said impatiently: "Okay, this time the matter is settled like this, you two have also put a lot of energy into the acquisition of Ocean Milan Bank during this time, Chu Huan's side Prepare the cash for us, if we still can't take down Ocean Milan Bank, that will be the biggest blow to HSBC!"

Both Shen Bi and Roy Bentley have entered the special team for acquiring Ocean Milan Bank.

Roy Bentley immediately said to Sha Ya: "Dapan, which North American fund company I recommended to you earlier?"

Sha Ya pondered for a while, and said: "Let them come to Xiangjiang to meet me!"

"OK!"

Xiangjiang, Mid-Levels Villa Area, in a certain villa!

While everyone outside was criticizing Qi Dezun, Chu Huan, Qi Dezun, Feng Hanzhu, and Feng Guojing were already sitting in the living room of the villa, discussing matters.

It is now the end of June. After more than half a month of tossing, Chu Huan finally acquired 19% of the shares of Hehe International in the market, plus the 5% of the shares he originally exchanged for in Hehe International, and Qi Dezun's 27% of the shares. % of Hehe International's shares, Chu Huan finally has 51% of Hehe International's shares in his hands.

That is to say, at this time, Chu Huan has completely become the largest shareholder of Hehe International. As long as two years later, Chu Huan can officially become the first Chinese in Xiangjiang to fully own one of the four major foreign companies in Xiangjiang!

But now, only Chu Huan, Cao Yunshang, and Qi Dezun know about this matter, and even Xu Yi doesn't know. The easiest business transaction ever!

Now that Chu Huan has become the actual controller of Hehe International, it is natural to carry out the rescue plan of Hehe International.

For today's transaction, Chu Huan had a long talk with Qi Dezun last night at the same place.

Before discussing specific matters, Chu Huan comforted Qi Dezun with his evaluation of Qi Dezun.

Qi Dezun was also suffocating at this time, and said: "A Huan, don't worry, I understand that if you want to change the views of these people, you can only stop them if you lead Hehe International back to where he should be. The mouths of these people."

Chu Huan said with a smile: "It's Mr. Daban who sees clearly."

After this matter was resolved, Chu Huan began to discuss with Qi Dezun how to lead Hehe International out of the current predicament.

"If you want to save Hehe International, you can only reform and slim down now!"

This was the first sentence Chu Huan said to Qi Dezun on this matter.

Hehe International currently has nearly 360 affiliated and associated companies under its name. Such a volume is too bloated for Hehe International, and there are too many companies with integrated business models.

Before that, Qi Dezun only wanted to expand the scale of Hehe International to catch up with Jardine and become the largest listed company in Xiangjiang.

But it ignores the bloated internal structure.

The current management of Hehe International is out of control, resulting in an overly complex and disordered company structure; the group's consulting management and financial reporting are generally insufficient, inaccurate, and lack of coordination, so that the management cannot understand the seriousness of the problem and cannot make appropriate decisions.

At the same time, Chu Huan can also see that the accounting and financial control of the entire Hehe International is very poor. The headquarters can only estimate the profits of the companies in the department through reports. Many problems of the group are caused by this lack of discipline. breed.

Therefore, considering the current situation of Hehe International, Chu Huan proposed to establish modern financial control, resolve outstanding lawsuits, reduce recurrent expenses, comprehensive debt reduction plan, and eliminate loss-making departments and companies.

It will take a long time for the reorganization of the group's management, and then Chu Huan will cooperate with the operation department of Jiaku Consulting Company to help Hehe International complete the management reform.

Now there are 145 senior executives in the entire group. Given that the management reorganization is a relatively long process, at this moment of life and death of Hehe International, slimming down has become the first way to save Hehe International.

In fact, Qi Dezun also thought about this method some time ago, but for a while, he couldn't make a decision whether to clean up that company and keep that company.

The most important thing is that now the whole Xiangjiang knows that Hehe International has encountered difficulties.

At this time, there are not many people who give charcoal in the snow, but there are quite a few people who make trouble.

Everyone wanted to gouge out a piece of meat from Hehe International, and the bid was so low that it made people outrageous.

So Qi Dezun has been unable to carry out this matter.

"I also know that losing weight is a good way for Hehe International, but the current situation"

Qi Dezun told Chu Huan what Hehe International had encountered during this period.

After Chu Huan listened to it, he didn't take it seriously, because after summing up the problems of Hehe International, Chu Huan also had more thoughts.

"First of all, we need to determine the future development positioning of Hehe International, so that we can determine which company we need to sell and merge with. As for who to sell to, I have my own arrangements!"

Now that Qi Dezun has experienced the struggle of selling Hehe International's shares, he has calmed down. Since Chu Huan said that he has a way, he will implement it according to Chu Huan's way.

"How do you think we should position Hehe International for its future development?"

Chu Huan said: "Landmark is the future development direction of Hehe International!"

When Qi Dezun heard this, he was immediately shocked by Chu Huan's thoughts. Although Landmark is known as the jewel in the Hong Kong real estate industry, it is only a pure real estate company after all.

However, Hehe International is the largest consortium in Hong Kong. Chu Huan actually only wants to keep the real estate projects of Hehe International?

Seeing Qi Dezun's expression, Chu Huan knew what the other party was thinking, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, Landmark is the ultimate development direction of Hehe International in the future. You will not do this during your tenure as the top class thoroughly.

After all, I promised that if you want to retire from the position of Taipan of Hehe International in a good manner, you must also shut up the mouths of those people outside! "

Qi Dezun breathed a sigh of relief, and said, "Okay, then our first step should be to attack that company?"

"It's not one family, but three!" Chu Huan said seriously.

This is why Feng Hanzhu and Feng Guojing, father and son, came here tonight.

The predecessor of Hehe International is Hutchison Matheson and Whampoa Dock. Hutchison Matheson itself is a third-rate foreign firm in Xiangjiang, and it is also engaged in import and export trade. It acquired Hutchison Matheson in Qi Dezun, and the first thing it did was to acquire Huangpu Dock 30% stake.

Finally, there are endless acquisitions.

But since Chu Huan wanted to make Hehe International into a second land acquisition, he naturally wouldn't sell his shares in Huangpu Dockyard.

So at this time, Chu Huan's target is Dehuibao Foreign Firm, Taihe Foreign Firm, and Qichang Foreign Firm. Among the three foreign firms, the largest is Dehuibao Foreign Firm. Its main businesses include import and export trade, business, machinery, automobile sales and Supply of building materials, etc.

As for Taihe foreign company, Qichang foreign company is mainly engaged in various import and export trades. Among them, Taihe foreign company is a century-old shop, and even participated in the founding of HSBC bank. Unfortunately, it is inevitable that it will be acquired after all.

Since these three foreign firms are mainly engaged in various import and export trades, Chu Huan's initial plan was to sell these three foreign firms to Li \u0026 Fung Group. trading company.

Then Li \u0026 Fung Group used its own capital advantages to divide the businesses of these three foreign firms, selling off the unnecessary businesses directly, and merging the needed businesses into Li \u0026 Fung Group, thereby optimizing Li \u0026 Fung Group.

However, when Cao Yunshang knew about this, Dehuibao Foreign Firm was about to come in the hands of Chu Huan. Now Cao Yunshang is actively promoting the acquisition of Gonghe Construction. From Cao Yunshang’s point of view, Taihe Foreign Company’s machinery, automobile sales, and building materials All three items are available, so she wants to stay.

Chu Huan has no objection to Cao Yunshang's idea, so now Chu Huan only plans to sell Taihe Foreign Company and Qichang Foreign Company to Li \u0026 Fung Group.

"Mr. Chu is the largest shareholder of our Li \u0026 Fung Group, and this matter is indeed a good thing for our Li \u0026 Fung Group, but in terms of price?"

Feng Hanzhu is still very satisfied with the acquisition of Taihe foreign company and Qichang foreign company. If this is the case, Li \u0026 Fung Group will be the first group in Xiangjiang to acquire a British company.

But face cannot represent profit. Now everyone knows that the situation of Hehe International is not good, and Li \u0026 Fung Group naturally knows it too, so Feng Hanzhu wants to suppress the price.

After all, he didn't know that Hehe International already belonged to Chu Huan.

Qi Dezun said: "The price of 55 million is very appropriate. You should know that if it is not at this time, we Hehe International will definitely not sell these two foreign firms. At the same time, you should also understand that the two The sale of the foreign firm to the Li \u0026 Fung Group will put a lot of pressure on us at Hehe International!"

Selling the foreign firm to a Chinese-owned company is a precedent in the commercial history of Xiangjiang. Although the amount is not large, it is still the first of its kind. It will definitely be resisted by some ghosts, even the shareholders of Hehe International. of.

Feng Hanzhu took a look at Chu Huan, and bought Taihe foreign company. Qichang foreign company was contacted by Chu Huan, and then Chu Huan was the major shareholder of Li \u0026 Fung Group and the minority shareholder of Hehe International, so this matter still needs Chu Huan to make up his mind!

"55 million Hong Kong dollars, I think it's okay. Just like Qi Dezun Taipan said, we Li \u0026 Fung are actually taking advantage of it. I believe that after the report of this acquisition comes out, it will immediately cause a sensation in Xiangjiang!"

Hearing what Chu Huan said, Feng Hanzhu had no objection, and said: "Since this is the case, then we Lifeng Group will not have any problems!"

Hearing what Feng Hanzhu said, Qi Dezun immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

Finally solved some problems.

Afterwards, the two parties agreed on the date and details of the transaction. After everything was settled, Chu Huan said to Qi Dezun: "Mr. Taipan, please wait for me here for a while. I still need to discuss some things with Director Feng and Mr. Feng." !"

Qi Dezun nodded without objection: "It should."

Then Feng Hanzhu and Feng Guojing followed Chu Huan to the study.

"Three things. The first thing is to get the management rights of these two foreign firms as quickly as possible. The second thing is to reorganize the company's management after completing the first thing. The management of the company will be cleaned up, and a new group of management who are brave enough to work hard will be replaced. The third thing is to sell the business that is not needed for the company's split after completing the first two things, and keep the business that is needed. Only maintain the status of these two foreign firms as listed companies."

Taihe foreign company and Qichang foreign company are listed companies in Xiangjiang.

And Hehe International did not own the absolute controlling rights of these two foreign firms before, but was only the largest shareholder of these two foreign firms.

Feng Hanzhu nodded. Since Chu Huan told him about the acquisition of these two foreign firms, he was also thinking about how to maximize the power of these two foreign firms in his own hands. Now what Chu Huan said is in his heart Think exactly the same.

In addition, after the development of Li \u0026 Fung Group during this period, especially the cooperation with Jiahu Textile and Youth Toys, the funds in its account are abundant, and there is no need to worry about cash at all.

So Li \u0026 Fung Group can do this drastically.

"Don't worry, Mr. Chu, we will send you a detailed plan for this matter later."

At this time, Feng Hanzhu has long since lost the depression that Li \u0026 Fung Group was controlled by Chu Huan at the beginning, and now he is just lucky. As he said before, Chu Huan has never participated in the specific management and operation of the company. The development of the Feng Group is still in the hands of their Feng family.

Now, I have even sent the two foreign firms that I dreamed of before and never dared to think about to the hands of Li \u0026 Fung Group.

The cooperation with Chu Huan is really delicious!

After the simple conversation was over, the two parties walked out of the study again, and Chu Huan also sent off the father and son Feng Hanzhu and Feng Guojing.

"After the company gets the funds, the most important thing is to clear part of its foreign debts. In the past two days, I will ask Yunshang to discuss with you the acquisition of Dehuibao Foreign Bank, sell Taihe Foreign Bank, and the cash from Qichang Foreign Bank. Selling the cash from Dehuibao Matheson can basically solve Indonesia's debt problem.

Then the company's next move is to continue to slim down, to sell all overseas projects that can be sold, and to recalculate the investment amounts that cannot be sold. At that time, Cui Weihua from the Finance Department of Jiaku Consulting Company will assist you. "

I don't know the true face of Lushan Mountain, just because I am in this mountain.

When Qi Dezun is no longer the actual controller of Hehe International, he has been able to jump out of the circle of Hehe International and look at the problems of Hehe International from another angle. It is the most important link to bring down Hehe International.

Hearing what Chu Huan said now, he naturally had no objections, but he had his own ideas even though he had no opinions.

"Now Xiangjiang, Huaguo, and England are very delicate. If overseas investment is lost, Hehe International will only be left with the local market of Xiangjiang. If Xiangjiang will be in the future"

Before Qi Dezun could finish speaking, Chu Huan said very firmly: "You can rest assured about this matter, Xiangjiang will only get better and better in the next few decades, and the things you are worried about will definitely not happen."

worry about what?

It is nothing more than worrying that his assets in Xiangjiang will be taken over by his hometown. This is one of the important reasons why some powerful British consortiums in Xiangjiang have begun to deploy overseas markets.

It’s better now, but in a few years, when the time for Xiangjiang to return to its hometown was confirmed, there was a lot of relocation at that time, and many Xiangjiang companies moved their registration places overseas.

Some radical companies even sold their properties in Xiangjiang one after another!

These people completely miscalculated, the heart of the hometown is open to all rivers.

This made them miss the most golden period of Xiangjiang's development.

They are worried, but Chu Huan is not worried, so now Chu Huan is firm in the future development path of Hehe International.

Seeing that Chu Huan was so determined, Qi Dezun didn't say anything.

Originally, he thought that selling Hehe International to Chu Huan would make him sad for a long time, but when everything was settled, Qi Dezun felt an extremely relaxed state of mind.

Perhaps it is no longer necessary to carry the giant burden of Hehe International on its back!

As for the previous newspaper reports, Qi Dezun really wanted to see what kind of expression they would have when they saw the current transaction.
