The Most Powerful Tycoon Reborn In Xiangjiang

The Spring Festival of 1981 has passed.

Everything in Xiangjiang is proceeding in an orderly manner. In the spring of 1981, Xiangjiang had two major tenders. One was the reconstruction of the HSBC Building, and the other was the MTR Corporation’s tender for the property development rights above nine subway stations!

Chu Huan's Jiaku did not directly participate in these two bidding projects, but they both had their presence.

Although the reconstruction project of HSBC Building is a major project, it is a construction project. There are relatively few real estate companies in Xiangjiang participating in the bidding, but construction companies from all over the world have come to Xiangjiang to participate in the bidding.

This also makes this matter a lot of heat in Xiangjiang, but in the business circles of Xiangjiang, it is not as much concerned as the bidding project of the MTR Corporation.

With Volkswagen International investing in Carrian, Carrian announced the bidding.

Chu Huan's side is buzzing.

Just after the new year, Guo Desheng and Zheng Yutong found Chu Huan and asked about this matter.

"A Huan, you can't treat one more favorably than another. Volkswagen International Investment only holds 10% of Carrian's shares, but you hold a larger share in our two companies, and you are also the second largest shareholder!"

Zheng Yutong couldn't help preaching.

According to the current real estate environment in Hong Kong, everyone thinks that the MTR company's bidding is a project that can make money without losing money.

Before this, everyone believed that the real estate companies under Jiaku would participate in the bidding alone, but they did not expect that all three real estate groups under Jiaku would all announce their withdrawal from the bidding this time.

This made the entire Xiangjiang real estate industry pay attention to it, but at the same time, it gave rise to greater hope. After all, every real estate developer regards the three major real estate groups under Jiaku as their most important competitors.

What they didn't expect was that although the three major real estate groups under Jiaku withdrew from the bidding, Volkswagen International Investment invested in Carrian at this time, and Carrian announced its participation in the bidding in a high-profile manner!

These two things are connected together, and the meaning is naturally self-evident.

Jiaku is supporting Carrian in winning the bid in this bidding process!

Sun Hung Kai and New World are the two real estate companies that have cooperated with Chu Huan for the longest time and have the closest relationship. Now Chu Huan did not choose to cooperate with them, but chose to cooperate with Carrian.

Such a thing will inevitably make Guo Desheng and Zheng Yutong feel a little emotional.

If it was an ordinary relationship, the two must have held grudges in their hearts, and then they were well prepared to compete with Jianing.

But the relationship between them was too close, so the two came directly to Chu Huan.

Facing the inquiries of the two, Chu Huan felt quite helpless. In fact, Chu Huan had expected the arrival of the two of them. After all, the project of the MTR Corporation was too big.

No one can give up easily.

But there were still some things that surprised Chu Huan.

That is, only the two of them came over, and Li Jiacheng and Li Zhaoji did not come over.

In later generations, the three Guo brothers, the Zheng Yutong family, the Li Jiacheng family, and the Li Zhaoji family are known as the four major families in the Xiangjiang real estate industry.

It is even called the Four Great Families of Xiangjiang!

Now that people from the two major families have come, but the other two have not, Chu Huan understood the key point after a brief thought.

The main reason why the four major families have been able to stand in Xiangjiang for decades is actually their control over current affairs.

Among them, Li Jiacheng and Li Zhaoji are the most sensitive to current affairs.

Looking at the development journey of Cheung Kong and Henderson Group, they have always been able to successfully survive every economic crisis in Xiangjiang. Not only have they survived, but they have also been able to grow their own power through every economic crisis.

Although it is now the peak period of the real estate industry in Xiangjiang, Jiaku's own analysis team can see the vacancy rate of houses in Xiangjiang.

Naturally, some people can see it.

Through the horizontal analysis of history, some far-sighted people will inevitably discover the rules, especially Li Jiacheng, who actually had very frequent contact with his hometown during this period.

Naturally, he knew his hometown's attitude towards Xiangjiang.

On the other hand, Zheng Yutong and others, although they are very keen on business, they are not so keen on political factors.

Especially Zheng Yutong.

In March of next year, Hong Kong Governor MacLehose will leave office. At that time, the attitude of his hometown towards Hong Kong began to be raging in Hong Kong. At that time, the business community in Hong Kong was divided into two groups.

A group of people organized visit groups to England, advising England not to give up Xiangjiang; some people also organized groups to visit Beijing to find out the attitude of their hometowns.

This wave of visiting delegations to their hometown was led by Feng Jingxi, leading the Beijing delegation composed of Zheng Yutong, Li Jiacheng, Guo Desheng, Li Zhaoji, Hu Yingxiang and other Cantonese business tycoons to the north.

They were received by the leaders of their hometown in the capital, and the focus of the conversation was the future of Xiangjiang.

Someone recorded Zheng Yutong's conversation at that time.

At the meeting, Zheng Yutong showed his political shortcomings outside of the business world, and said inappropriate words many times. This also caused Zheng Yutong to be labeled a childish politician by the Xiangjiang media after returning to Xiangjiang!

From this incident, it can actually be seen that the merchants in Xiangjiang at this time are uncertain about the future environment of Xiangjiang.

It is precisely because of this situation that Zheng Yutong and Guo Desheng cannot clearly feel that Xiangjiang will definitely undergo major changes in the future like Li Jiacheng and Li Zhaoji.

And such a change will definitely affect the business environment of Xiangjiang in a short period of time.

The MTR Corporation's bidding looks good, but in fact, when encountering next year's Hong Kong environment, this project can only be shelved in the end.

But Chu Huan definitely couldn't tell Zheng Yutong and Guo Desheng about this matter at this time.

"You two, haven't you already formed a joint consortium to compete for this project? If Jiaku proposes to join now, not to mention that you need to redistribute the equity allocation of the new consortium, even if your respective interests are compromised, it should be A head-scratching thing, right?"

Again, the MTR project this time is really too big. Even if Sun Hung Kai and New World rank in the forefront of Hong Kong Properties, it is difficult for one person to win such a large project.

In addition, they thought that the three major real estate groups under Jiaku would definitely participate, so after discussion, Sun Hung Kai and New World real estate companies took the lead and joined forces with several other real estate companies to form a new consortium Let's do this bidding!

What surprised them was that this time, the three major real estate groups under Jiaku did not participate in the bidding. Instead, they supported Carrian's bidding with Volkswagen International Investment as a shareholder of Carrian!

Guo Desheng and Zheng Yutong didn't know what to say to Chu Huan.

Seeing this, Chu Huan said with a smile: "Both of you, this time about the MTR company's bidding, our Jiaku really has no idea to participate, as for the stake in Carrian.

You have also seen the development of Carrian in the past two years. Such a rapid development of the group has never happened before in Xiangjiang. We, Jiaku, are only optimistic about the future development of this group company. It is impossible to get so many shares of Carrian smoothly.

So this time, it's just a situation of taking advantage of the trend, so the matter of the MTR company's bidding is still a matter for your several parties to compete for, and it has nothing to do with our Jiaku! "

This means that the two of them have a very good partnership and personal relationship is also very good.

Otherwise, Chu Huan wouldn't explain anything to them.

However, the two of them breathed a sigh of relief when they heard what Chu Huan said. They were not worried about the competition between Jianing and them. Simply optimistic about Carrian's development, and want to invest in Carrian.

The worry in my heart is naturally not that big.

As Xiangjiang's top businessmen, they still have this confidence!

Guo Desheng sat there with a smile on his face, and said, "A Huan, you said something wrong just now!"

Chu Huan also asked with a smile: "Uncle Guo thinks that I said something wrong?"

Guo Desheng said: "That is the speed of Carrian's development. To be honest, Carrian's development has been very rapid in the past two years, but it is an exaggeration to say that it is the fastest growing group in Xiangjiang. Who doesn't know that the whole 70 The most rapid development of Xiangjiang in the era is your Jiaku!"

"That's right!" Zheng Yutong echoed: "The current development territory of Jiaku has already surpassed Xiangjiang. In the entire global commercial history, Jiaku's development speed is also first-class!"

Chu Huan said modestly: "Our Jiaku just caught up with a good time!"

Now that this matter has been discussed, the three of them don't need to worry about it any more. But when Chu Huan saw Zheng Yutong, he thought of one thing.

"Uncle Zheng, I know you have a lot of connections in Canada. I want to ask how much do you know about Shanmei Computer?"

Chu Huan asked Zheng Yutong.

Although Chu Huan's current investment in Canada is also very large, and his network of relationships is also very extensive, but this is based on the relationship with high-rise buildings. In the lower-level business environment, Chu Huan does not know as much as Zheng Yutong.

At the beginning, Chu Huan took out the investment in Australia and Canada as a network to unite the rich businessmen in Xiangjiang, and Zheng Yutong chose Canada at the beginning.

In fact, Zheng Yutong has always invested in Canada, and he chose Canada because of his own business considerations.

Of course, if Chu Huan wants to find Shanmei Computer, he can also find it, but now that Zheng Yutong is here, he may be able to find out faster by asking him.

However, to Chu Huan's disappointment, Zheng Yutong didn't have any impression of Shanmei Computer after thinking about it for a while.

"What about Dingzhi? Do you have any impression of this person?"

Chu Huan continued to ask.

Ding Wei, the founder of Shanmei Computer, is not well-known in later generations of Shanmei Computer, but in Canada in the 1980s, Ding Wei's Shanmei Computer was still very famous.

Ding Wei was born in Sheng Hai, and later came to Xiangjiang with his family, while Ding Wei studied in Canada, and he founded Shanmei Computer this year.

But obviously, Ding Wei was still an unknown person at this time, and Zheng Yutong shook his head after hearing the name.

"I've never heard of such a number one person in Canada. A Huan, why did you suddenly think of asking about this person?"

Chu Huan smiled and said, "When I was in North America, I heard from a friend that there is a guy named Ding Wei in Canada who has made great achievements in computers, so I want to ask about it!"

The reason why Chu Huan asked Zheng Yutong to ask Ding Wei was actually because Zheng Yutong invested in Ding Wei's Shanmei Computer later on.

Ding Wei was ambitious at the beginning of his business, wanting to be a computer rich man like Bill Gates and Steve Jobs.

However, in the early days, Ding Wei was poor and famous in North America, but now his hometown takes these Chinese entrepreneurs from Western countries seriously.

Taking advantage of this environment, Ding Wei signed a 270 million yuan research and development contract with his hometown, using cheap labor resources in his hometown to produce the products developed by Ding Wei, and then sold them in North America through a sales network controlled by Shanmei.

The plan is feasible, but Dante said that what is most lacking is funds. Without funds, the best plan can only be a theory on paper.

Hong Kong tycoons such as Zheng Yutong and Ho Hongsun, no matter which city in Canada they are in, there will always be countless cooperation projects beckoning to them.

Zheng and He took a fancy to Ding Wei's Shanmei Computer. They believed that even if Sunmei Computer could not become Microsoft and Apple Computer in the future, the sales network it controlled could help it become a business group with promising prospects.

Therefore, Zheng Yutong and He Hongshen each acquired more than 8 million shares of Shanmei Computer.

In December 1986, Shanmei Computer was listed in Toronto, raising only a pitiful 5 million Canadian dollars. But soon, Shanmei Computer launched a series of acquisitions. In the 11 months from 1988 to 1989, there were four acquisitions. , the largest of which was the acquisition of North American Singer Sewing Machine Company at a cost of 300 million yuan.

This mosquito-based company in Toronto has become an international enterprise in North America.

At that time, many people in the securities industry in Toronto criticized Shanmei Company for its rapid development, but Chinese immigrants in Canada and Xiangjiang shareholders were optimistic about its potential in China, and they were even more optimistic about the support of super rich people such as Zheng Yutong and He Hongshen behind the scenes. , They are competing to invest in Shanmei stocks.

Later, Shanmei invested in Pengcheng to produce its electronic products. At that time, Shanmei also cooperated with many manufacturers in Huaguo to sell all their miscellaneous brand products under the well-known North American trademark "Singer" in North America and other markets.

The sales network of Singer Group covers more than 100 countries and regions, and Shanmei effectively takes advantage of Huaguo's labor force and Singer's sales advantages.

What Chu Huanxiang is interested in is Sunmi Computer's subsequent sales network. The current development of Kyushu in the computer field seems to have become an important force other than North American technology companies, but its products are still difficult to open in North America. Sales, even with Kyushu's strong sales network.

The main reason is that Kyushu, as a Hong Kong-based technology company, finds it difficult for its products to be recognized by North American consumers.

If Shanmei acquires Singer, then Kyushu can complete the acquisition of Singer later, so that it can accept the entire sales network of Singer. It is actually a very difficult thing for Kyushu to acquire Singer, after all This involves the high-tech field.

It is easy to provoke a reaction from North America.

Through serial holdings, it will be much easier to change Kyushu's brand to Singer, and then to enter the North American market.

Now that Chu Huan is asking about Ding Wei's situation, what he actually wants is to invest in Shanmei in advance. After Shanmei Computer completes the acquisition and digestion of Singer, Kyushu can treat Ding Wei as a puppet!

Now Zheng Yutong doesn't know this person, it seems that Chen Haichao can only send someone to Canada to find Shanmei Computer!

However, what Chu Huan didn't expect was that this time, he unintentionally asked Zheng Yutong about this Ding Wei, which made Zheng Yutong remember this person's name in advance.

This also led to Zheng Yutong's earlier investment in Shanmei Computer in the later period, but at that time Kyushu had already completed its investment in Shanmei Computer, which made Zheng Yutong a helper when Kyushu acquired Sunmei later! .

After Zheng Yutong and Guo Desheng were sent away, there was basically nothing going on in Xiangjiang.

After Chu Huan called Xu Yi and told him about Xiangjiang, Chu Huan and Hu Yingxiang set off for their hometown to discuss the construction of the road.

As Chu Huan had guessed before, his hometown did not reject Hu Yingxiang's investment in his hometown's road business. The only thing he was worried about was Hu Yingxiang's financial problems.

Now that Chu Huan is here, his hometown has more trust in this matter.

But there is still a question of funding.

"Mr. Chu, you need to know that building a highway will be a huge investment. Before this, we have also studied that the Guangzhou-Shenzhen-Zhuhai Expressway alone requires an investment of at least 1.5 billion US dollars.

There has never been a precedent in China to use external funds to build our own roads before this. If we agree to this project, it will attract international attention. If there are some accidents at that time, we can't afford to lose this person! "

The old man who was in charge of discussing this matter with Chu Huan and Hu Yingxiang preached to Chu Huan very seriously.

Chu Huan nodded and said with a smile: "Of course we understand this, but since we came to see you today, we naturally came here with sincerity. As long as our hometown can agree, our Jiaku will cooperate with Hu Huan Hopewell Real Estate Co., Ltd. established a new consortium, preparing to invest 4 billion US dollars in the early stage to build a domestic high-speed network.

If you still have any questions, I can ask the company to prepare the money now and deposit it in the domestic Jiaku Bank as a targeted fund! "

If you have money, you can speak hard!

This is what Chu Huan means today. If the expressway network in China can be successfully built, as far as Chu Huan is concerned, he will not hesitate to add more than a dozen commercial buildings in the country, and the annual tolls will be enough for Chu Huan Huan earns a lot of money!

The old man was obviously overwhelmed by Chu Huan's aggressiveness.

As for Chu Huan, the old man naturally knew about it. First, it was Shenghai’s BG project, and then he proposed two super projects that had been debated by his hometown for a full year. It is Chu Huan alone, whose domestic investment has reached 50 billion US dollars!

What a good friend from home!

This is a good friend from home!

"I heard that Mr. Chu wants to designate the construction of a road?" The old man did not express his emotions, but suddenly asked Chu Huan about the matter that Chu Huan and Hu Yingxiang had said before.

Chu Huan nodded and said: "Actually, it's not one. If possible, I hope it will be two. You should also know that our Jiaku has been waiting for the response from our hometown to our two investment projects. If the hometown If I finally agree, I hope that the city where these two projects are located and the capital, as well as the expressway, can be connected!"

Hu Yingxiang on the side was a little confused at this time. Like many Xiangjiang businessmen, he knew that Chu Huan actually invested a lot in his hometown.

However, now that Chu Huan and the old man are talking about investment projects, the two projects proposed still need the cooperation of the expressway. How big is this project?

But no matter what, what is certain is that these two projects are definitely different from those invested by other Xiangjiang businessmen.

And what Chu Huan said later shocked him even more.

"In addition, we not only need the cooperation of the expressway, but also the cooperation of the power plant. In other words, if my hometown can agree to our capital investment, I will work with the Kadoorie family in Xiangjiang to build a project in these two The construction of two large power plants in the city can not only provide enough power for our project, but also provide enough power supply for the cities around the two power plants!"

Previously, Michael Kadoorie had asked Chu Huan what his family could invest in if he came to his hometown for investment. Although Chu Huan had suggested it at the time, in fact, the Kadoorie family had their own considerations.

The old Kadoorie even flew to his hometown many times to discuss this matter. Finally, in 1979, the Kadoorie family's CLP began to provide surplus electricity to Guangdong Province.

Whether it is road construction or power supply, these are all infrastructure construction. Now that my hometown is looking for a road to rapid development, these two items are naturally inseparable.

Chu Huan's suggestion can be said to have solved the urgent need of his hometown.

But the old man thought he understood what Chu Huan meant, that is, if his hometown agreed to Chu Huan's two super projects, Chu Huan would build highways and power plants in these two cities.

Seeing the old man's expression, Chu Huan said with a smile, "You've always misunderstood. Our bank A's willingness to invest in the construction of these infrastructures has nothing to do with the two super projects invested by our bank A."

"Chu, what do you mean?" The old man looked at Chu Huan with some doubts and excitement.

Chu Huan said: "Regardless of whether the hometown agrees with the two projects of our Jiaku, our group is willing to add our own strength to the development and construction of the hometown!"

The participation in infrastructure construction, although it seems not as dazzling as those real estate and technology projects in later generations, but in fact, the profits of these engineering projects are the real big ones. Compared with this, real estate, technology and other projects are simply worthless Mention!

And the political impact it brings is not the same.

Finally, such a project will not cause the outside world to have some bad ideas about Jiaku's behavior. The high-tech industry will be the project that will suppress the hometown most severely in the next few decades.

When the old man heard what Chu Huan said, the smile on his face became brighter, and he said seriously: "Mr. Chu's feelings are really moving. I would like to express my gratitude to you on behalf of my hometown!"

Chu Huan said with a smile: "You are too polite. As a businessman, I can clearly feel how difficult it is to be outside without a powerful country as the background!"

Afterwards, Chu Huan and Hu Yingxiang discussed with the old man about the specific matters of investment.

After the old man left, Hu Yingxiang finally couldn't help the curiosity in the heart of the money.

"Mr. Chu, what kind of two super projects are you going to invest in your hometown?"

Chu Huan waved his hand, and did not tell Hu Yingxiang about this matter, but just smiled and said: "There is no such thing as a horoscope, it is too early to say this in my heart, and if I can succeed in the future, let's talk about it!"

Seeing that Chu Huan didn't want to say anything, Hu Yingxiang wisely stopped asking, but still smiled and preached.

"With the support of Director Chu this time, I think my hometown should be very supportive of our investment. Maybe this time we will be able to get an answer soon!"

Chu Huan also nodded with a smile and said, "I hope so!"

Seeing Chu Huan's calm appearance, Hu Yingxiang felt a lot of emotion in his heart. Although Chu Huan didn't tell himself what the two super projects he invested in his hometown just now, what is certain is that since Chu Huan wanted to let The two projects of expressway and power plant serve it, which has already shown that this is definitely a super project.

Now the only thing that makes Hu Yingxiang curious is how big the investment of these two projects is, is it 5 billion US dollars or 10 billion US dollars?

If Hu Yingxiang knew that Chu Huan's estimated investment in these two projects was 40 billion US dollars, he would definitely be shocked!

"Hu Sheng, if I don't have anything else to do, I'll leave first. I have other things to do in the capital!"

Chu Huan stood up and smiled.

Hu Yingxiang reminded Chu Huan: "Mr. Chu, don't forget the welcome dinner tonight!"

Chu Huan and Hu Yingxiang came back this time for normal investment work, so their hometown also prepared a welcome dinner for them!

Chu Huan nodded and said, "Of course I can't forget this!"

Then Chu Huan left the Capital Hotel accompanied by Wu Shuhan, and first went to the hotel invested and built by Jiaku in the capital to have a look. It has been completed and is currently undergoing interior decoration.

"It is estimated that all the interior decoration will be completed in September this year. When you come to the capital, Boss, you won't have to stay at the Capital Hotel!"

After hearing this, Chu Huan laughed and said, "I'm not Guo Henian, I hope to live in my own place!"

Wu Shuhan said with a smile: "The construction of Prince Heng's Mansion may take some time, and the planning of its original appearance has just been completed, which involves a lot of materials that need to be transported from all over the country. At the same time, some modern products inside , also needs to be shipped overseas, I talked to the design team before, and it will take at least three years to complete this project!"

Chu Huan nodded indifferently, and said, "Slow work and careful work, just wait!"

Thank you everyone, correct the typo first and then change it, Huangshan begs for a monthly ticket~~
