The Most Powerful Tycoon Reborn In Xiangjiang

"Take the liberty to interrupt, and please don't take offense at Chu Sang!"

After meeting Chu Huan, Kiura Kisaburo bowed politely.

Chu Huan stood there with a smile and said: "Mr. Chi Pu, you are welcome. When we were in Osaka, we met once, and we can be regarded as friends. There is nothing strange about the visits between friends. It is okay to be happy." Too late!"

After finishing speaking, Chu Huan asked Chiura Kisaburo to sit down.

"This is an old Pu'er I bought at an auction before. I heard that Mr. Chi Pu likes to drink tea, so let's taste it together!"

"It's costing Chu Sang!" Kisaburo Ikeura bowed slightly again.

After the two parties exchanged pleasantries, Kiura Kisaburo explained his intentions for coming this time: "Chu Sang, I met Tsubouchi-kun before I came to Xiangjiang, and I asked Tsubouchi-kun for advice, and I learned that Chu Sang is not interested in the future shipping industry. Not very optimistic, today I came here specially to learn from the scriptures, and I would like to ask Chu Sang to give me some advice!"

Those who know Chu Huan now, and those who don't, seem to have a consensus, that is, Chu Huan is not optimistic about the shipping industry.

This can be seen from the fact that after Jiaku acquired Hehe International-Wheelock, it began to package and sell the tankers of Wheelock's shipping company.

But at the same time, some of Chu Huan's operations also made these people a little puzzled, that is, although Chu Huan is not optimistic about the shipping industry, but Chu Huan has invested in Kuishima Shipyard of Tsubouchi Tosuo, if these people know that Chu Huan has already married Bao Yu Just reached a consensus that after Bao Yugang acquired Wharf, he will acquire the container company under Wharf, which will make these people even more curious.

Chu Huan chuckled, and said: "There is nothing good or bad, it's just that the focus of Jiaku's business is not on the shipping industry, and we don't know much about the shipping industry. As a student, since you are not familiar with it, you might as well give up!"

When I met Kisaburo Chiura today, it was because of his business in Japan that Chu Huan met him. After all, the Industrial Bank of Japan can be regarded as a very large bank.

But if the two met for the second time, it would be impossible for Chu Huan to tell Chiura Kisaburo about his plan. Chu Huan is not his father, so there is no need to worry about them!

Chiura Kisaburo nodded slightly, and couldn't tell whether he believed Chu Huan's words or not, but Chiura Kisaburo understood that if he could get Chu Huan's support, then his trip to Xiangjiang this time would be very important. It is very important.

Xiangjiang has released the blockade of overseas banks this year, and Kisaburo Ikeura’s Industrial Bank of Japan also very much hopes to enter Xiangjiang’s financial market, although everyone already knows that Chu Huan’s Alder Commercial Bank will also Enter Xiangjiang's financial market, but Kiura Kisaburo still believes that the two sides can have opportunities for cooperation.

"Chu Sang's far-reaching vision is admirable. I came to Xiangjiang this time to stabilize the hearts of the ship kings in Xiangjiang. Second, I hope to reach a cooperation with Chu Sang. If the Industrial Bank of Japan and Chu Sang's Al If the Japanese branch of Commerzbank can jointly speak out in support of Japanese steamships and Yamaguchi steamships, I think it will definitely ease the bad reputation of the shipping industry!"

Faced with Kisaburo Ikeura's temptation, Chu Huan didn't answer. He took a stake in Kuishima Shipyard because he knew Tosao Tsubouchi's ability, not because he was optimistic about the shipping industry.

Although the Industrial Bank of Kisaburo Ikeura supported the Japanese ship this time and helped the Japanese ship survive the shipping winter, in fact, the Japanese ship still suffered heavy losses in the following years, and once reached the point of bankruptcy. On the edge, if Mitsui hadn't taken action in the end, the final end of the Japanese steamship could only be bankruptcy and liquidation.

So for Chu Huan, now is definitely not the time to come forward.

As the shipping industry is an important channel for cargo transportation, Chu Huan will not give up this industry, but it is definitely not the time to enter this industry.

To put it simply, in 1980, a 250,000-ton oil tanker cost 70 million U.S. dollars, but by 1985, the market value had fallen to 2 million U.S. dollars, or 3 million U.S. dollars, which is equivalent to The price of scrap metal.

At that time is the time to really buy bottom oil tankers.

What Chu Huan has to do now is to keep his business away from this industry.

"I'm really sorry, Alder Commercial Bank Japan Branch has its own development plan. Although I am a major shareholder of this company, I am not involved in the company's specific affairs, so I have no way to discuss this matter now. I promise to eat Mr. Park here."

Chu Huan's answer made Kisaburo Ikeura a little disappointed, but there was nothing he could do, because Kisaburo Chiura was very popular in the Xiangjiang business community because of his status as the president of the Industrial Bank of Japan, but it also depended on the identity of the other party.

If he really had a higher status than Chu Huan, then it was not him who came to visit Chu Huan at this time, but Chu Huan who went to the hotel to visit him.

"It's really a pity, but our bank still very much hopes to cooperate with Chusang Duoduo if there is an opportunity in the future!"

Kiura Kisaburo could only preach helplessly.

Chu Huan nodded and said: "I believe that there will definitely be such an opportunity. I am also very optimistic about your bank's investment in some fields. I believe that there will definitely be opportunities for cooperation in the future!"

Kisaburo Chipu came to Chu Huan's manor this time in order to reach a consensus with Chu Huan on helping the Japanese ship. Now Chu Huan has clearly rejected this matter. It could only be to seek an opportunity. After a brief chat between the two sides, Kisaburo Ikeura stood up and left.

Kisaburo Chipu came to Xiangjiang with his mission, and Chu Huan also had his own affairs to attend to.

After bidding farewell to Kisaburo Chipu, Chu Huan came to Lu Yu Tea House and met Feng Tianfen who had already made an appointment!

"Sorry to keep Feng Weng waiting!" Chu Huan said with a smile.

Feng Tianfen also smiled and said: "Chu Dong is being polite, I was the one who arrived first!"

Chu Huan didn't exchange greetings with Feng Tianfen, but said straight to the point: "Feng Weng, this time I invited you over. In fact, we, Jia Treasurer, have won the shares of Feng Weng's Bank of East Asia. If Feng Weng is willing to sell , I am personally willing to pay a premium of 30% to buy Feng Weng’s shares in Bank of East Asia!”

The smile on Feng Tianfen's face disappeared first, and then reappeared, but the smile was a bit complicated later on. He didn't expect that Chu Huan actually fell in love with their Feng family's shares in the Bank of East Asia.

This is not good news!

He instantly thought of what happened when Chu Huan bought Huaren Real Estate.

"Mr. Chu, your Alder Commercial Bank is about to enter Xiangjiang. Why did you suddenly think of buying the shares of Bank of East Asia?"

Feng Tianfen did not immediately respond to Chu Huan's acquisition decision, but asked Chu Huan about the acquisition of Bank of East Asia's shares.

In Xiangjiang now, except for Jian Yueqiang, no one knows that Chu Huan has no idea to merge Xiangjiang Local Bank with Alder Commercial Bank.

Chu Huan said with a smile: "Alder Commercial Bank is a foreign monk after all, not as good as Bank of East Asia's background in Xiangjiang. If possible, we naturally hope to acquire a local bank in Xiangjiang!"

This is indeed a normal routine for foreign-funded banks after entering Xiangjiang. Feng Tianfen did not have any doubts about Chu Huan's words, but he still refused to Chu Huan: "Mr. Chu, I am very sorry, our family is very concerned about the shares of Bank of East Asia. Therefore, the sale of Bank of East Asia's shares may disappoint Director Chu!"

Buying at a premium of 30%, this price is not low. The Feng Tifen family holds about 18% of the shares in Bank of East Asia. Now the market value of Bank of East Asia is 880 million Hong Kong dollars, and 18% of the shares are less than 160 million Hong Kong dollars. If it is To be honest, the premium is 30%, that is 208 million Hong Kong dollars.

Compared with the original investment of the Feng family, it is equivalent to earning more than 200 million Hong Kong dollars.

But Feng Tifen still does not want to give up her shares in Bank of East Asia. Although the management right of Bank of East Asia is now in the hands of the Li family, Feng Tifen, as one of the major shareholders of Bank of East Asia, is also a director of the company. Banks are still very influential.

Backed by the Bank of East Asia, the Feng Tifen family does not have to worry about other problems in the operation of their family's company.

But if they sell their shares to Chu Huan, it will be equivalent to losing the financial support of the Bank of East Asia. For Feng Tianfen's family, this is more important than the 30% premium proposed by Chu Huan!

The recent acquisition is really not going well.

Chu Huan silently thought that apart from Volkswagen International Investment and Jian Yueqiang's shares in the Bank of East Asia, Chu Huan's acquisitions in other places were not very smooth.

Previously, he wanted to acquire the shares of the Bank of East Asia from Wanguobaotong, but now he came to Feng Tifen to acquire the shares of the Bank of East Asia, but was also rejected by Feng Tifen.

This made Chu Huan a little helpless, but compared to Wanguotong, Chu Huan is still very sure to win Feng Tifen's shares in the Bank of East Asia!

Feng Tianfen is not without weaknesses.

After the death of Feng Tifen's father in the early 1930s, her 19-year-old son, Feng Tifen, inherited his father's business.

Relying on his father's Yu Yin, Feng Tien Fen galloped freely in the shopping malls, and expanded his father's business into Feng Tien Fen Group Co., Ltd., whose business covers real estate, industry, trade, transportation and communication and other industries.

In addition, Feng Tifen was good at dancing with long sleeves, and she was exquisite in all aspects, and soon became a celebrity in the political circles of Xiangjiang.

In addition to being awarded a knighthood by a British lady, he has served as an unofficial member of the Legislative Council and the Executive Council for a longer period of time.

However, in the 1970s and 1980s, perhaps Feng Tifen was too enthusiastic about government affairs to carry forward his ancestral business, and gradually handed over the business to his sons Feng Qingzhao and Feng Qingqiang who returned from studying in North America.

By the mid-1980s, the Fung Group had actually experienced a serious financial crisis.

And this is why at that time, Liu Luanxiong was able to attack Chinese home buyers.

From Feng Tianfen's resume, it can be seen that Feng Tianfen is very keen on messing around in the political circles of Xiangjiang at this time. Politics has a higher prestige.

Just like Jian Yueqiang!

"Feng Weng, do you know that our Jiaku still has a lot of business in Europe, which naturally includes England. Since we do business in England, we naturally have some friends in England, including Mr. Lawrence. If Feng Weng If you are willing to sell the shares of the Feng family in the Bank of East Asia to our Jiaku, I can also introduce Mr. Lawrence to Feng Weng!"

When Feng Tianfen heard what Chu Huan said, his complexion changed immediately, and he asked tentatively, "Are you talking about Mr. Lawrence from the British House of Commons?"

Chu Huan raised his forehead slightly, and said: "That's right, Mr. Lawrence is still very influential in Hong Kong. I heard that many officials from the Hong Kong government came from England. They were all students of Mr. Lawrence. I will become your friend Feng Weng in the future!"

Lawrence looked at Chu Huan in surprise. At this time, all the top people in Xiangjiang basically agreed on one thing, that is, although Chu Huan was already the number one person in Xiangjiang, in fact, this did not mean that Chu Huan was the first person in Xiangjiang. Huan can be unimpeded in Xiangjiang, on the contrary, some things are still very troublesome for Chu Huan.

The most important point is that Chu Huan has a bad relationship with the high-level officials of the current Hong Kong government. The most representative of them are the chief secretary, Robbie, and the financial secretary, Xia Dingji.

In other words, if the business Chu Huan wants to do is related to the Hong Kong government, then Chu Huan's business must be difficult to do.

But no one thought that Chu Huan had such a deep relationship in England.

"Director Chu, is this a joke?" Feng Tianfen still couldn't believe Chu Huan's words, after all, this matter sounds too magical now.

Chu Huan said with a smile: "Of course I can't joke with Feng Weng about this kind of thing. If Feng Weng has any doubts, why not go to England in the next few days, and then I can ask Sir Lawrence to treat Feng Weng well. Weng!"

Sir Lawrence, a veteran member of the British House of Commons, also has a strong influence in the House of Commons.

At the same time, this person is also a figure that Ma Jizu focused on conquering in England.

England is the country where Ma Jizu spent the longest time in Europe, and naturally it is also the country where he has gained the most relationships.

This is why Feng Tianfen was so surprised just now.

In fact, Feng Tianfen is still in shock at this time, and always feels that this matter is a bit too magical, but at this time Feng Tianfen does not doubt Chu Huan anymore. After all, it is impossible for Chu Huan to be in this position. Lied about things.

"Director Chu, you are really surprising!" Feng Tifen couldn't help saying.

Chu Huan didn't say anything more about this matter, but just smiled and said to Feng Tianfen: "Feng Weng, do you think this condition allows you to sell the shares of Bank of East Asia to our Jiaku?"

Feng Tianfen fell silent. If it was purely financial interests before, Feng Tianfen could easily refuse Chu Huan's acquisition of his shares in the Bank of East Asia.

But if Lawrence now has the bargaining chip, then things will be different.

After all, at this time, the Feng Tianfen Group has not yet encountered a financial crisis, and Feng Tianfen has also put more of his mind on the political world.

"This offer from Director Chu is really hard to refuse!" Feng Tianfen said with a wry smile: "But Director Chu, I still want to say sorry to you, Bank of East Asia is very important to our Feng Tianfen Group. It's so important, I really can't find a reason to sell BEA shares!"

Chu Huan raised his eyebrows slightly. He didn't expect that when he took out the card of Lawrence, the other party was still unwilling to sell the shares of Bank of East Asia.

"Feng Weng, if you think the two conditions I have given are not enough, you can make more demands. As long as it is not too much, I can agree to you!"

If it was before, Chu Huan would no longer say anything to Feng Tianfen at this time. He would definitely buy a large number of shares in the Bank of East Asia in the stock market, and then strive to enter the board of directors of the Bank of East Asia. Each member of the team broke through one by one.

At that time, Chu Huan still has a great hope of getting the management right of the Bank of East Asia, and as long as Chu Huan can get the management right of the Bank of East Asia, when the Feng Tifen family and the Li Fushu family have shares in the Bank of East Asia, Chu Huan can Feel free to handle it.

But Chu Huan didn't want to do that now.

When Chu Huan first entered the Xiangjiang business world, both Cao Wenjin and Jian Yueqiang had talked to Chu Huan.

Xiangjiang's business environment is very particular about human feelings.

It's just that Chu Huan was new to the Xiangjiang business world, so he didn't have to care about these unspoken rules and ran amok in the Xiangjiang business world.

But it is different now, Chu Huan has already stood at the top of the Xiangjiang business world, that is to say, Chu Huan has now become a vested interest in various unspoken rules of the Xiangjiang business world, so Chu Huan has also been a rule breaker from the beginning, Became the current guardian of the rules.

Unless it is necessary, Chu Huan will not take the lead in breaking the rules of Xiangjiang's business community.

Feng Tianfen fell silent. He did not expect that Chu Huan would be so attached to the shares of Bank of East Asia. He did not want to give up the shares of Bank of East Asia, and at the same time he did not want to have any conflicts with Chu Huan because of this matter. Fen Group also has a lot of business from Chu Huan's armory.

"Mr. Chu, you also know what the shares of the Bank of East Asia mean to our Feng Tifen Group. If we lose the shares of the Bank of East Asia, it means that our Feng Tifen Group has lost its biggest cash support. We are different from Director Chu. The cash flow in hand is limited, if there is any problem, it can be said to be a devastating blow to our Feng Tianfen Group!"

At this time, Feng Tianfen no longer hid from Chu Huan, but expressed her realest worry.

Chu Huan nodded slightly, and had no doubts about Feng Tifen's worry.

"If this is the case, I can assure Feng Weng that even if our Jiaku purchases the Feng family's shares in the Bank of East Asia, if there is any problem with the Feng Group in the future, our Jiaku will definitely help. Feng Weng is still in the Feng Group for a day, so the Feng Group is our long-term partner of Jiaku!"

Chu Huan did not promise that he would always take care of the Feng Group. In fact, even if Chu Huan said so, Feng Tianfen would not believe it.

On the contrary, it is better to explain everything clearly at this time!

Feng Tianfen was really moved this time. Although the Bank of East Asia is rich, Feng Tianfen believes that the Bank of East Asia is definitely not as rich as Chu Huan.

More importantly, if this matter can be used to deepen the cooperation with Jiaku, then the development of Feng Tifen Group will definitely be better.

"Mr. Chu has said so, if I still don't agree, then it's really disrespectful to Mr. Chu!"

Finally, Feng Tianfen made up his mind and decided to sell the shares of Bank of East Asia to Chu Huan.

Chu Huan breathed a sigh of relief. After purchasing Feng Tifen's family's shares in the Bank of East Asia, Chu Huan became the largest shareholder of the Bank of East Asia. The next step was to seek to join the board of directors of the Bank of East Asia.

"Thank you Feng Weng, I believe Feng Weng will not regret today's decision!"

After Feng Tianfen made the decision, he also felt a lot more relaxed, and said with a smile: "I think so too, if possible, our Feng Tianfen Group also very much hopes to cooperate more with Director Chu's Jiaku! "

"No problem, Feng Tien Fen Group has a long history in Xiangjiang, and our Jiaku also hopes to cooperate with such a consortium!" Chu Huan said smoothly: "At that time, if Feng Weng wants to cooperate, you can directly contact Contact Xu Yi!"

"It would be great if that's the case!" Feng Tianfen also said happily.

.

While Chu Huan was discussing with Feng Tifen about the purchase of the Feng family's shares in the Bank of East Asia, at the headquarters of HSBC, Roy Bentley and Shen Bi were also discussing about Chu Huan.

"I received a call from Sandy before, and he has once again rejected Chu Huan's acquisition of shares in Far East Bank."

Shen Bi happily preached to Roy Bentley.

The first reason why Sandy Aldama rejected Chu Huan's acquisition one after another was that they still had confidence in obtaining the management right of Far East Bank.

The second is that Sandy didn't tell Chu Huan that he had already met Shen Bi from HSBC.

Shen Bi personally expressed to Sandy that he was willing to help Citicorp get the right to operate the Far East Bank.

It was because of Shen Bi's promise that Sandy Aldama had greater confidence in this matter.

"Good!" Roy Bentley was also very happy to hear the news, "As long as Chu Huan does not enter the local banking industry in Hong Kong, we can still accept an Alder Commercial Bank."

This is actually not something they can accept or not, but this matter can no longer be changed!

Of course, when they said it themselves, they definitely couldn't say that.

Shen Bi's happiness was only maintained for a while, and then he continued to talk: "But we can't take it lightly. Although Chu Huan couldn't get the Far East Bank, it doesn't mean that other local banks in Xiangjiang have no ideas. We still have to pay close attention to this matter.”

Roy Bentley nodded and said, "Didn't you make an appointment to play golf with Chu Huan? Then I think you can take a good look at Chu Huan's tone."

Shen Bi nodded, fell silent for a while, and said, "Roy, the situation is different now than before. Chu Huan's Jiaku basically has no weaknesses in Xiangjiang. I think the relationship between us HSBC and Chu Huan There should also be some changes in the relationship!"

Roy Bentley looked at Shen Bi suspiciously, and asked, "What do you think?"

Shen Bi said helplessly: "In the past, my idea was that Chu Huan must not be allowed to develop, because then Chu Huan's armory would replace our HSBC as the largest company in Xiangjiang, and at the same time weaken our HSBC. Control over Xiangjiang enterprises.

The current situation has proved that my decision was correct. It can be seen from the real estate industry. Since Chu Huan announced the establishment of the real estate project investment department last year, our HSBC’s real estate project loan income has dropped by 20% over the same period. .

This is after the Xiangjiang real estate industry has entered a period of rapid development.

Now the real estate companies in Xiangjiang are more willing to cooperate with Zhulu Real Estate than to take loans from HSBC. This matter is worthy of our consideration. Only by offering more favorable conditions to them can HSBC regain the lost market.

But because Chu Huan's Jiaku has no weaknesses, we have no way to target it. I have been thinking for a while recently, since we can no longer target and curb the development of Jiaku, we should strive for cooperation with Jiaku , Only in this way can we HSBC develop better! "

Roy Bentley was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect Shen Bi to have such an idea now. You have to know why Chu Huan supported him in the first place, wasn't it because of Shen Bi's targeting of Jiaku?

Now Shen Bi actually wants to cooperate with Jiaku.

"Mr. Shen, although what you said is reasonable, it's not that we at HSBC have never thought of cooperating with Chu Huan's Jiaku, but Chu Huan has managed Jiaku like a fortified wall and does not introduce external funds at all, so we There has been no way to deepen cooperation with Chu Huan's Jiaku, now that Chu Huan is stronger, how can he bring in our HSBC funds?"

Faced with Roy Bentley's inquiry, Shen Bi obviously already had an idea.

"In the past, Chu Huan's armory actually formed a closed loop. Coupled with Chu Huan's massive funds, we naturally had no way to join, but now it's different. Chu Huan wants to enter Xiangjiang's financial industry. In this industry, HSBC is still the well-deserved No. 1 bank in Xiangjiang, and it is also the bank most trusted by Xiangjiang people.

And this kind of trust is deeply ingrained, and it cannot be changed by someone in a short period of time.

So I think we still have a great chance to enter Chu Huan's Alder Commercial Bank Xiangjiang Branch! "

Now, Shen Bi no longer hopes to bring HSBC into the management of the entire Jiaku. He just hopes that HSBC can become a shareholder of Alder Commercial Bank.

At that time, Alder Commercial Bank Xiangjiang Branch will have the genes of HSBC. No matter how Chu Huan develops Alder Commercial Bank in the future, HSBC will be able to benefit from it.

Facing Shen Bi's proposal, Roy Bentley said with some uncertainty: "Will Chu Huan introduce us to HSBC?"

Shen Bi said confidently: "I think the possibility is still very high. The financial industry is different from other industries, and Chu Huan's Alder Commercial Bank in Japan has also introduced Mitsui \u0026 Co., Sumitomo Bank!"

Roy Bentley asked: "Then what terms are you going to use to trade this matter with Chu Huan?"

Also, Huangshan continues to code words~·
