The Most Powerful Tycoon Reborn In Xiangjiang

After Hehe International acquired Wheelock last year, it has been actively promoting the process of delisting and privatizing these two companies, and now it has achieved initial results.

First of all, it is on the side of Hehe International. Qi Dezun has completed the wholly-owned acquisition of Huangpu Dockyard, and formally included Huangpu Dockyard as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Hehe International.

This is different from another time and space. In another time and space, Hehe International under the leadership of Wei Li merged with Huangpu Shipyard. After paying a part of the shares of Hehe International, they exchanged for the remaining shares of Huangpu Shipyard. The two parties eventually merged into Hutchison.

But this time, with the support of Chu Huan's funds, Hehe International, led by Qi Dezun, directly acquired Huangpu Dockyard with cash, so the name was not changed in the end, and Hehe International was still called Hehe International.

It is precisely because of this acquisition and the acquisition of Wheelock that the shares held by Star Investment, the holding company of Hehe International, have increased significantly, and the minority shareholders of Hehe International have already held shares in Hehe International. It can be ignored.

In addition, at this time, the three major controlling parties of Hehe International, Starry Sky Investment controlled by Qi Dezun who was mistaken by outsiders, Chu Huan's Jiaku, and the remaining one is HSBC, which is now in the transition from old to new.

"Now if you want to complete the delisting and privatization of Hehe International, you only need to get HSBC's shares in Hehe International!"

Qi Dezun first talked to Chu Huan about the delisting and privatization of Hehe International.

Chu Huan said, "How is your relationship with HSBC?"

Chu Huan is not suitable to appear in the process of Hehe International's delisting and privatization at this time, so this matter is still completed by Qi Dezun.

Qi Dezun said: "Sha Ya has been busy with the acquisition of Ocean Milan Bank of North America before, and did not talk to me in detail on this matter. I am going to talk to Roy Bentley in detail after he takes the stage. thing."

Chu Huan pondered for a while, and didn't say anything more about this matter. Although his relationship with Roy Bentley was a relationship of interests, now Roy Bentley is about to sit in the head of HSBC, the quasi-central bank of Xiangjiang. Whether the position can be the same as before, Chu Huan has no way to make a decision now.

So before this matter is clear, Chu Huan will not tell Roy Bentley about the matter between himself and Hehe International.

"Where is Wheelock?"

Qi Dezun said with a smile: "The situation of Wheelock is a bit complicated. In the past six months, we have basically adjusted the management of Wheelock. As for the listed companies under the company, apart from selling Lane Crawford to Ms. Cao After the Empire Fashion Group, there is no other action, but now many real estate companies in Xiangjiang have approached Wheelock, hoping to jointly develop their land with Wheelock, or want to buy from Wheelock. Take some land, and some shipping companies in Xiangjiang are doing the same thing, but they just exchanged the land for cargo ships."

After entering 77 years, Cao Yunshang formally established his own Empire Fashion Group.

It owns the Printemps Department Store in Paris, France, the Printemps Department Store that is under construction in Japan, and the Lane Crawford and Ella Boutiques in Xiangjiang. At the same time, after the operation, the Imperial Fashion Group sold the Hua Department Store and Daxin Department Store under Lane Crawford to Zhu Xiaozhao chain of sea of ​​clouds.

In addition, in addition to these, Empire Fashion Group also has two brands, Fendi and Prada.

Has become the world's top luxury goods group.

With sufficient financial support, Cao Yunshang has developed smoothly and rapidly.

As for Wheelock, Chu Huan did not expect that a management reform would last for such a long time, but there is no way to think about it. In any case, Hehe International had Qi Dezun in charge, so it just needed to clean up some corpses. People will do.

But before that, Wheelock was dominated by the John Marden family and the Zhang Yuliang family. All the senior officials were basically their people, so it would obviously take a lot of money to get rid of these high-ranking old courtiers in the company. for a longer time.

"Don't worry about these things for now, just complete the delisting and privatization of the head office, some real estate companies, and shipping companies!"

These things cannot be accomplished in a short period of time, so after Chu Huan accepts Wheelock, he will continue to do this.

Qi Dezun has no opinion on this, and the completion of the delisting and privatization of Hehe International and Wheelock, the parent company, is his last stroke in the commercial history of Xiangjiang.

"A Huan, even if these two companies are delisted and privatized, if you want to take over smoothly, you will definitely encounter strong resistance. Have you figured out how to deal with it then?"

Qi Dezun reminded Chu Huan.

Regarding this point, Chu Huan already had a plan in mind.

In the past, Hehe International and Wheelock, as the four major British-funded foreign firms in Hong Kong, had to overcome obstacles if they wanted to acquire them. Now that the two companies have merged and become one of the four major conglomerates in Hong Kong, the resistance to fully controlling them can be imagined Got it.

"This is one of the reasons why Wheelock's management was adjusted immediately!"

Chu Huan wanted to put these two companies under Jiaku's umbrella on the bright side, so the resistance he encountered was actually nothing more than two kinds.

Resistance from within, resistance from without.

The internal resistance is caused by the management. Although Chu Huan is the number one person in Xiangjiang, not all the ghosts believe in Chu Huan, and even many ghosts regard Chu Huan as a provocation. Those who challenge their status in Xiangjiang.

People who think like this still occupy the mainstream.

So now Chu Huan asked Qi Dezun to take the lead in targeting Wheelock's management, and the previous reform of Hehe International's management is actually to solve the problem in advance for this internal resistance.

As for the external resistance, it is mainly the Jardines and the Hong Kong government.

Chu Huan's current achievements in Xiangjiang have exceeded their bottom line. This is not what they want to see. If Chu Huan hadn't put his own business empire into an iron bucket, there would have been more business activities. Overseas, it is estimated that they have already started to attack Chu Huan by this time.

Before Chu Huan participated in the acquisition of Wheelock, the Hong Kong government took action.

But for these external resistances, Chu Huan was already ready to meet them.

So there will definitely be resistance at that time, but Chu Huan is confident that these resistance will not become a problem after he has been in business for such a long time.

Qi Dezun said: "I hope everything will go well then!"

Chu Huan smiled and said: "Everything will go well. I will give Mr. Taipan a big gift at that time. It can be regarded as thanks to Mr. Taipan for his contribution to Hehe International and Wheelock during this time!"

Qi Dezun showed an interested expression and said: "Then I will wait and see when the time comes!"

Afterwards, Qi Dezun told Chu Huan some specific details of the two companies. Although Qi Dezun had tried to simplify it as much as possible, it was already past five o'clock in the afternoon when the two of them finished chatting.

It was already six o'clock when Chu Huan arrived at Bijiashan Villa.

The situation here is the same as that of Chu Huan at No. 12 Mount Kellie Road before, and it is very lively.

After these few days of getting along, the relationship between Lin Weiliang, Ma Lanying and Lin Li has become less strange.

When Chu Huan came here, not only they were there, but Lin Qingxia's elder brother Lin Chengsen and Lin Lixia were also there.

And some of these people are sitting in the living room and chatting, while others are busy in the kitchen. At this time, they don't want outsiders to disturb their reunion time.

"A Huan!"

"Brother Huan!"

"Brother-in-law!"

Different titles come from different people, Chu Huan responded one by one with a smile, Lin Weiyun and Ma Lanying expressed their gratitude to Chu Huan here, and being able to find their family members in their hometown has completely solved their worries.

"Uncle, aunt, don't be so polite if you are a family. Otherwise, I always think I'm here as a guest!"

Chu Huan said with a smile.

"That's right, one family doesn't speak two different languages!" Ma Lanying said happily, seeing her eldest daughter again made her extremely happy.

After exchanging pleasantries with everyone, Chu Huan and Lin Qingxia came to the garden.

"Second uncle, elder sister, and brother-in-law have already decided to return to their hometown after staying here for a few more days. They said that although this place is good, they are all used to life in their hometown and they don't want to change their current life."

Lin Qingxia sat on a wicker chair in the courtyard, preaching with a complicated expression.

Sitting next to her, Chu Huan comforted, "Everyone has their own way of life. Since you have already chosen, even if you are family members, it is hard to say anything."

Lin Qingxia nodded, and said, "I understand, it's just that Mom and Dad can't accept it, and don't want Eldest Sister and the others to go back!"

Chu Huan said with a smile: "Looking at you, uncle and aunt must not have convinced the other party."

"En!" Brigitte Lin nodded helplessly.

"Okay, don't think about these things anymore. Since they are going back, you can accompany them around Xiangjiang during this time. Just call Shu Han if you have anything to do!"

Chu Huan said.

"Thank you Brother Huan!" Lin Qingxia said.

While the two were chatting, there was already a shout about eating in the room.

Chu Huan and Lin Qingxia went to the restaurant and had dinner with their family.

Although there were enough rooms in Bijiashan Villa, Chu Huan finally left here, leaving the space for his family.

After leaving the Wubijia Mountain villa, Chu Huan drove to Miao Kexiu's residence.

Miao Kexiu had already fallen asleep, but when she saw Chu Huan coming over, she asked in her pajamas, "Can I make you something to eat?"

Naturally there are servants at home, but Miao Kexiu still hopes that Chu Huan can eat the dinner she prepared.

Chu Huan said with a smile: "I have already eaten before coming here, so go to bed early!"

Miao Kexiu nodded, and when Chu Huan came out of the shower, the two were lying on the bed. Miao Kexiu tentatively asked Chu Huan, "I heard from Sister Yunshang that grandma and her family have come to Xiangjiang."

Although Chu Huan already had some affection for Mrs. Wu and her family, it was definitely impossible to say how deep it was in his heart.

But the girls around Chu Huan don't know about these things. From their point of view, this is Chu Huan's grandfather, his relatives in his hometown, and now they have come to Xiangjiang. If they don't see them, they must be Unreasonable.

But if you go to see him, in what capacity will you go to see him?

Without Chu Huan's nod, they could only be thinking wildly at home.

Chu Huan understood their thoughts, and said with a smile: "After I finish dealing with Xiangjiang's affairs, I will take you to see her old man!"

With Chu Huan's attitude, Miao Kexiu no longer had anything to worry about.

There was a lot of talk overnight, and there was a lot of movement.

On the second day, after Chu Huan finished the breakfast prepared by Miao Kexiu, he drove directly to Huo Tsar's home.

The meeting with Huo Tsar was very pleasant. Huo Tsar first asked Chu Huan how he felt about his hometown, and after hearing that Chu Huan had not changed his mind, he became happier.

"Then this year's football invitational tournament, will you go back with me?"

Huo Tsar asked Chu Huan.

Before that, what Huo Tsar wanted was to let Chu Huan return to his hometown during the football invitational match with him, but Chu Huan couldn't wait, so he came to the present ahead of time.

The fact that things are changing so fast is beyond comprehension for those who don't know now. In Huo Tsar's view, there will be no change between the invitational tournament at that time and the current situation in his hometown.

But Chu Huan understood that with Master Zheng's official appearance, the situation would undergo important changes, so he preached.

"Go back, and Uncle Ho will tell me the time in advance!"

Seeing Chu Huan so happy, Huo Tsar was also very happy, and said with a smile: "No problem!"

After leaving Mr. Huo's home, Chu Huan returned to the company.

It was the same as usual when they left the company for a long time. Xu Yi and Wu Shuhan came to find Chu Huan with a stack of documents.

These are all documents that need to be signed by Chu Huan.

.

evening!

Chu Huan left the company, came to the Five Sacred Mountains Club again, and met Roy Bentley, who was full of spring.

"Should I call you Mr. Taiban now?"

After Chu Huan sat down, he laughed and joked with Roy Bentley.

Roy Bentley laughed: "It's still early, it's still early!"

"It's getting late. I just heard that you have started to manage the daily work of HSBC just after I returned to Xiangjiang. Shaya's side has become a thing of the past!"

Chu Huan said with a smile.

Roy Bentley picked up his glass and said earnestly: "Mr. Chu, this time I was able to sit in the position of HSBC executive, thanks to your help before. There were too many people around me, so it was inconvenient to talk about many things. Today This time, I sincerely thank you!"

Chu Huan also picked up the wine glass and said with a smile: "Roy, I'm just pushing the boat along the way. I was able to sit in the position of HSBC executive because of your personal ability."

The two drank the glass of wine tacitly.

After Roy Bentley put down his wine glass, he smiled and said to Chu Huan: "Director Chu, HSBC will have some receptions next time, you must be there to support them!"

Roy Bentley's background in HSBC is not deep, which also led to him not being able to control HSBC perfectly as soon as he came up, like Shen Bi from another time and space.

So in the early stage, Roy Bentley needs the continuous support of influential people in Xiangjiang, and Chu Huan is the supporter he must win.

That's why it is said now.

Chu Huan nodded and said: "It's natural. I will stay in Xiangjiang during this time. If you need anything from Roy, just ask."

Although he knew that Chu Huan would definitely support him, but hearing Chu Huan's personal promise now made Roy Bentley feel confident.

"However, I also hope that in the future, when I need your support, Roy, you can fully support my plan!"

If he had the support of HSBC, then Chu Huan would encounter much less resistance when he formally took over the matter of Hehe International and Wheelock.

Roy Bentley immediately smiled and said: "It should be, I have already said it before, the friendship between the two of us is forever!"

Chu Huan smiled and toasted again.

The meeting between the two was more about continuing to increase the relationship between the two parties, and there was no substantive content to talk about.

But even so, the two talked until late at night.

This time, Chu Huan did not go to Miao Kexiu's residence, but to Gu Chengxi's residence when he came out at Wuyuehui. Many people hadn't seen each other for more than a month, so he must see everyone.

Gu Chengxi and Miao Kexiu had the same worries, but after getting Chu Huan's affirmative answer, they also seemed very happy.

.

In the next few days, Chu Huan met with some Xiangjiang friends one after another, and by the way, he had some free time to deal with the company's affairs that had accumulated over the past month.

But it is only relative to these days.

At this time, it has entered May, and the news in Xiangjiang has become lively.

The first thing is naturally the news that HSBC executive Sha Ya is about to leave.

As the quasi-central bank of Xiangjiang, HSBC Bank will cause quite a stir in Xiangjiang every time a taipan takes over. After all, the taipan of HSBC can represent the economic development trend of Xiangjiang to a certain extent.

If the first issue of Sha Ya’s resignation and Roy Bentley’s succession was already psychologically prepared, then the second issue of Hehe International and Wheelock’s delisting and privatization was a bit unexpected.

The four major consortiums of Xiangjiang, Jiaku, Jardine, HSBC, Hehe International-Wheelock!

Now Chu Huan's Jiaku is a private company and has not been listed. If Hehe International-Wheelock is delisted and privatized, then the sensation caused in Xiangjiang can be imagined!

These two news became the mainstream of Xiangjiang during this period, Chu Huan simply paid attention to them, and then put them aside.

Today Chu Huan brought Miao Kexiu to Banshan, the villa where Mrs. Wu lived.

The old lady is in a complicated mood now. She originally thought that her grandson had a wife in Xiangjiang, and having a confidante would be good enough, but she never thought that when her grandson was eating here last night, she told herself that there would be another grandson-in-law coming to visit today. she.

Not only this one, but there will be more in the next few days!

The old lady couldn't help it anymore: "Ah Huan, although young people are in good health, they should know how to restrain themselves!"

Chu Huan smiled awkwardly. It was the first elder to tell him this kind of thing. Even Chu Duanqing hadn't told him about it before.

Fortunately, the old lady is also a person who came out of the old era, and she has a relatively high degree of acceptance of these things. After talking about it, she stopped mentioning it.

"Don't be nervous, the old lady is very nice!"

Looking at the presents that Miao Kexiu was carrying, Chu Huan smiled and took some from the other party's hands, and joked.

Miao Kexiu nodded seriously, but she didn't relax no matter how she looked, even when she entered the room, she didn't know which foot to take!

Tension is an inevitable process, and after the tension passes, things get better.

It didn't take long for the old lady to calm down Miao Kexiu's nervousness. Seeing that they were chatting happily, Chu Huan didn't go over to talk to them.

Chen Xincheng said to Chu Huan curiously: "Ah Huan, uncle, I have read a lot of Xiangjiang newspapers and magazines during this time!"

Chu Huan asked with a smile: "Can you understand?"

Although most newspapers and magazines in Xiangjiang still follow the normal style of writing, there must still be some Xiangjiang slang in the middle, and it is in the form of traditional characters, so Chu Huan asked this question .

Chen Xincheng said with a smile: "Half and half, even those who are guessing and confused can probably understand the content."

Chu Huan said: "Excellent, understanding the newspapers here will be of great help to your integration into this society."

Chen Xincheng laughed and said: "This is not the most important thing, the most important thing is that there are many reports about you, especially"

Speaking of this, Chen Xincheng took a special look and found that his wife Zeng Hong was not here, so he whispered to Chu Huan: "I mean, those newspapers are all about your romantic history!"

Chu Huan looked at Chen Xincheng's expression, and asked with a smile, "Do you want me to introduce some friends to uncle?"

Chen Xincheng's face changed suddenly, and he hurriedly said, "Don't do it, I want to live a few more years, but I didn't expect Xiangjiang to be so open."

Chu Huan chuckled and said, "Just wait, my hometown will be more open than here in the future!"

Thinking of the situation in his hometown, Chen Xincheng directly shook his head and said, "How is that possible!"

Chu Huan didn't argue, and then chatted with Chen Xincheng about their new job search, and dinner began.

Since then, this villa in the middle of the mountain has been very lively every day. Gu Chengxi, Zhu Xiaozhao and Zhao Yazhi also came to see the old lady one after another.

"Ah Huan, shouldn't it be gone?"

Watching Zhao Yazhi go to accompany Zeng Hong and chat with Chen Shuli, the old lady asked Chu Huan exhausted.

Chu Huan sat on the sofa and said with a smile: "There are no more in Xiangjiang for the time being, wait for the opportunity overseas!"

The old lady sighed and said: "Although I don't care much about your grandma, your grandson gave your grandma too much surprise. When I was in Shenghai, although some families also had such people, but this kind of thing is not very good after all.”

Chu Huan said perfunctorily: "I will care about it in the future!"

Seeing Chu Huan's attitude, the old lady knew that it was useless to talk about it, so she could only smile and say: "But that's fine, I heard your sister-in-law talk about your Chu family a few days ago. That's the way it is with Fang. In the future, the incense of your Chu family will still depend on you to pass it on. Now that you have so many girls by your side, you should think more about your own incense.

And I have met these girls, they are all good girls, you can't"

The old lady originally wanted to tell Chu Huan not to do anything to offend others, but thinking of what Chu Huan is doing now, it seems that this standard has been reached.

"Do you know that you are not allowed to do things that love the new and dislike the old in the future?"

In the end, the old lady could only preach in this way.

Chu Huan regained his energy immediately, and said with a smile: "Don't worry about this, it has always been one of your grandson's good qualities to like the new and never tire of the old!"

old lady:"."

"Forget it, let's talk about the incense of your Chu family. Although I don't know how big your business is in Xiangjiang, it seems that you have so many excellent girls around you, and now our food and clothing The business is definitely not small, so you still have to pay attention to this, it is best to let Yun Shang have the first child!"

Facing the old lady's exhortation, Chu Huan agreed.

After talking about this matter, the old lady told Chu Huan about Chen Xincheng, Chen Shuli, and Zeng Hong.

"Grandma knows that you want everyone to live well, but people can't rely on others forever, so you don't want to interfere in everything about your uncle and the others in Xiangjiang. Now everything you have given us has made us better than many people. It’s all good, if you give more in the future, it’s inevitable that your uncles will come up with a natural idea, this is not helping them but harming them.”

Obviously, the old lady's idea coincided with Chu Huan's idea. Now Chu Huan is in charge of their accommodation in Xiangjiang. The old lady mentioned before that they are not suitable to live in such a good place, but I was persuaded by Chu Duanqing.

So for the next work, the old lady didn't want Chu Huan to help them any more.

In a nutshell, they are worried that they will become moths.

When Chu Huan heard the old lady say this, he told the old lady what he had thought before.

After listening to the old lady, she also agreed with Chu Huan's suggestion with a smile, and said: "This is the best. It is good to eat with your hands."

"Um!"

After chatting with the old lady for a while, Chu Huan and Zhao Yazhi left here together.

"Grandma is very nice!" Sitting next to Chu Huan, Zhao Yazhi asked with a smile, "Brother Huan, can I come here often to see grandma in the future?"

Chu Huan nodded and said, "Of course it's ok. The old lady just came to Xiangjiang not long ago, and she is a little lonely. If you can visit her often, she will be very happy."

"En!" Zhao Yazhi nodded happily.

The two chatted and returned to Zhao Yazhi's villa in Bijiashan. At this time, Lin Weiyun and others had returned to their hometown, Chu Huan also sent them off, and Lin Weiliang and others returned to Taiwan Island, but their family had already agreed , will move to Xiangjiang in the future, so that it will be more convenient for them to return to their hometown to visit them.

Chu Huan didn't have any opinion on this.

After resting for a day, Chu Huan went to Sha Ya's farewell party!
