The Most Powerful Tycoon Reborn In Xiangjiang

Hong Kong, Tsim Sha Tsui, Five Sacred Mountains Club!

In the private room on the second floor, Chu Huan was chatting with a forty-two or three-year-old white male!

Roy Bentley, a white male, is the manager of the import department of HSBC Bank. He came from the same department as the former HSBC executive Sanders. Roy Bentley joined HSBC Bank at the age of 25, first as a loan officer in England, Then he improved step by step, and finally became one of the top executives of HSBC Bank.

The most important thing is that Roy Bentley and Shen Bi were originally competitors at HSBC, but Shen Bi's previous achievements in Japan and Singapore branches were too impressive, covering up the brilliance of Roy Bentley. Dashi and Sha Ya fell in love with Shen Bi one after another, and the competition between Roy Bentley and Shen Bi ended before it even started.

Mr. Bentley, this is Patek Philippe's 2523 Universal Time watch in 1955. I hope you like it!

Chu Huan pushed the gift he had prepared in front of Roy Bentley. After several days of investigation by Ma Jizu, Chu Huan set his sights on Roy Bentley.

He has a very good relationship with HSBC's current taipan Saya, but this is not enough, because Shen Bi's ability and performance are too dazzling. The retired Sandas and most of HSBC's shareholders are very optimistic about Shen Bi. Even if Roy Bentley wanted to compete, he would be powerless.

At the same time, Ma Jizu also found out that Roy Bentley also has another hobby, which is to collect top watches.

With background, ability, and greed!

After confirming these three points, Chu Huan invited Roy Bentley out tonight.

In order to capture this Patek Philippe watch that Roy Bentley Chu Huan took out, it was worth more than one million in the 1970s. The same series sold 21.0267 million soft sister coins at Christie's auction in 2012 !

Faced with Chu Huan's sudden invitation, Roy Bentley was not surprised at all. Although not everyone in HSBC knows about Chu Huan and Changshi's competition for Chinese travel, some interested people can still know the news .

And Roy Bentley is one of them.

Seeing the wristwatch worth millions of Hong Kong dollars presented by Chu Huan, Roy Bentley didn't accept it right away, but smiled and said.

Mr. Chu, I'm afraid I can't do anything about the Chinese business. This matter was led by Shen Bi. You also know that Shen Bi's influence in HSBC is only under that of Sha Ya. Even if I want to help Chu When Dong speaks, he is powerless!

Although he likes this watch very much, Roy Bentley thinks that Chu Huan took out such a famous watch worth a million dollars, and when he finds him, he must hope that he can help him get the Chinese travel.

But Roy Bentley knew Shen Bi well, and understood that what this person wanted to do, he would definitely do it, so it would be impossible to snatch the Chinese business from Shen Bi's hands!

Chu Huan smiled and said, Mr. Bentley, you misunderstood. I have my own plans for the Chinese business, and I don't intend to ask Mr. Bentley to help!

Roy Bentley was taken aback for a moment, not understanding what Chu Huan meant. Since he didn't want him to help him get the Chinese business, why would he give him a million-dollar watch for no reason?

There is an old saying in China, that is, you don't get rewarded without merit. What does Director Chu mean by that?

Chu Huan sighed, and said: I just bought an insurance for myself, and I have been cooperating with your bank for a while, but General Manager Shen Bi doesn't know why, and he always has some hostility towards me. Let’s talk about the acquisition of Huarenhang this time. Hang Lung Real Estate was the first to contact Huaren Real Estate, but General Manager Shen Bi suddenly appeared with Li Jiacheng and wanted to acquire Huarenhang.

I am going to take over the Chinese bank as the headquarters of the company under my name. It can be said that it is very important to me, but this Chinese bank is not so important to HSBC.

I originally thought that according to my relationship with your bank, general manager Shen Bi would definitely give me this face, but I didn't expect that general manager Shen Bi directly rejected my request.

This also made me more determined the hostility of general manager Shen Bi towards me.

Since General Manager Shen Bi can't be friends, I also hope to have my own friends in HSBC, so today I came here specially to make friends with Mr. Bentley!

Roy Bentley picked up the watch on the table at this time, looked at it with admiration, and then said with a smile: Mr. Chu has a lot of money to make friends!

Haha! Chu Huan laughed loudly and said, I've always been like this to my friends.

Roy Bentley put down the Patek Philippe again, the smile on his face disappeared, he looked at Chu Huan with some dissatisfaction, and said, It's just Mr. Chu, your behavior makes people feel very uncomfortable. It's not like Making friends is more like bribing friends!

Facing Roy Bentley's sudden change of face, Chu Huan didn't care, and said with a smile: Mr. Bentley, why do you say that? Gifts between friends are what everyone wants. , where do you talk about bribery?

You don't have what you want? Roy Bentley said, thinking he had everything under control: I read the newspaper today, the black and white image under the name of Mr. Chu has acquired Golden Harvest Films, and tomorrow Hang Lung Properties will deliver it again. Hong Kong Land’s final payment for the Golden Gate Building is 230 million Hong Kong dollars, which is more than 300 million in cash. In addition, Mr. Chu also wants to acquire Huaren Bank, which is another expenditure of more than 100 million. Mr. Chu’s cash may not be enough. ?”

Since he didn't want to help persuade Shen Bi to give up the Chinese business to Chu Huan, then Chu Huan presented such a heavy gift. Roy Bentley thought that Chu Huan had the idea of ​​wanting to get a loan from HSBC.

Even Roy Bentley was very sure of his guess. After all, no matter how he looked at it, Chu Huan should have some financial difficulties at this time.

Hehe, if I had taken out a loan, Shen Bi wouldn't be so wary of me!

In fact, now Chu Huan also wanted to understand why Shen Bi was so guarded against him, it was because he developed too fast, and Shen Bi quickly saw the threat.

Now that all Chu Huan’s assets on the surface are added up, although there is no way to compare with those old British and Chinese consortiums in the horizontal range, the overall size is not weaker than these consortiums, and even purely based on In terms of influence, the entire Xiangjiang Chinese consortium is comparable to Bao Yugang's global shipping.

Even if Bao Yugang grew up with the support of HSBC, in Shen Bi's view, Bao Yugang's status has begun to threaten HSBC's status in Xiangjiang, so Shen Bi turned to want to develop another Bao Yugang.

In fact, Shen Bi did the same thing. In another time and space, after Shen Bi became the head class of HSBC, his support for Bao Yugang was obviously not as strong as before, and he even deliberately removed Bao Yugang's influence.

So at that time Shen Bi turned to support Li Jiacheng!

That's why Li Jiacheng was able to become the richest Chinese man later.

So now Shen Bi is not worried about Chu Huan's loan. If Chu Huan is a loan, Shen Bi will not think that Chu Huan is so threatening.

On the contrary, Chu Huan actually only borrowed 80 million Hong Kong dollars from HSBC. Although he opened the accounts of Hang Lung Properties and Black and White Video in HSBC, it was far from enough.

What Shen Bi hopes is that Chu Huan can adopt the cooperation method between Bao Yugang and HSBC, not just for loans and account opening, but for HSBC to invest in Chu Huan's company.

Only in this way can HSBC control Chu Huan better.

I talked about why Shen Bi felt that Bao Yugang was a threat after he was promoted to HSBC's top class. It was because Bao Yugang abandoned the ship and landed, which made Bao Yugang himself out of HSBC's control.

Li Jiacheng is a very smart person, he naturally understands what HSBC thinks of him, so later Li Jiacheng actively promoted cooperation with Huazi, and at that time, HSBC's influence in Xiangjiang was not as good as it used to be. He could only watch helplessly as Li Jiacheng and HSBC, whom he supported, went further and further away!

Of course, at that time Shen Bi was no longer the head class of HSBC, Shen Bi's own honor was enough.

Mr. Bentley, you have misunderstood me. I have no intention of getting a loan from HSBC. There is even one thing I want to cooperate with Mr. Bentley!

Roy Bentley's heart became more and more curious. Didn't he want to let himself help persuade Shen Bi, or did he want to get a loan from HSBC?

But cooperation?

What cooperation? Roy Bentley asked without changing his expression.

The first phase of Huaye City will be completed at the end of the year. I want to hand over the follow-up financial situation of Huaye City to HSBC. After all, HSBC is the largest and most reliable bank in Hong Kong!

Hearing this, Roy Bentley couldn't calm down anymore. Since Chu Huan told him about this matter, he naturally needed to handle this matter by himself.

Why did Sha Ya hand over the cooperation between HSBC and Chu Huan to Shen Bi?

Isn't it just that he wants Shen Bi to accumulate enough achievements from Chu Huan, so that in the future, when Shen Bi succeeds Sha Ya and becomes the top class of HSBC, he will be more able to convince the public!

What Shen Bi saw was that if Chu Huan was allowed to develop like this, it would be a huge threat to HSBC, but what Roy Bentley saw was that if he cooperated with Chu Huan, his position in HSBC would be absolute. It will increase as Chu Huan's influence in Xiangjiang increases.

Wasn't it why Sandas was able to sit firmly in the position of HSBC's top class at the beginning because it discovered and trained Bao Yugang?

At this time, Roy Bentley, who had understood all this, looked straight at Chu Huan, and couldn't help asking: Director Chu, are you serious about this?

Chu Huan said with a relaxed smile: How could I make a joke about this kind of thing? As long as Mr. Bentley regards me as your friend, I can ask Lu Qi, the general manager of Tianhai Real Estate, to contact Bentley the day after tomorrow. Mr. Li, after all, the financial affairs of Tianhai Real Estate have always been handled by the Bank of East Asia, and it will take a day!

Then Mr. Bentley will know I'm not joking!

With a smile on his face that he couldn't hide, Roy Bentley raised his wine glass and said to Chu Huan, Chu, all my friends would like to call me Roy!

Roy!

Chu Huan clinked wine glasses with Roy Bentley in a good manner!

The two looked at each other with a smile, and drank the red wine in their hands in one gulp!

Then the two chatted a little, which is also a way to enhance friendship.

When the two separated at Wuyuehui, Chu Huan didn't go home directly, but went to Jian Yueqiang's residence.

In the past, Jian Yueqiang had already fallen asleep at this time, but now Jian Yueqiang has been waiting for Chu Huan in the study.

Uncle Jane!

After seeing Jian Yueqiang, Chu Huan called out with a smile.

Ah Huan, I'm 61 this year!

Jian Yueqiang took off his glasses and rubbed between his brows, speaking helplessly.

Chu Huan didn't understand Jian Yueqiang's meaning, so he praised earnestly: Uncle Jian is always strong and healthy!

Jian Yueqiang waved his hand and said, I mean, sleep quality is very important when people get old. I should be asleep by this time!

Chu Huan: .

I thought you weren't going to come to me, but I didn't expect you to come here at night!

Seeing Chu Huan's deflated expression, Jian Yueqiang immediately felt better. There are not many people who can make Chu Huan have such an expression at this time.

I will talk to Feng Tifen tomorrow about the Chinese business, but you also know the relationship between our three families. Although there is a marriage relationship, our three families are not what they used to be!

Jian Yueqiang's sister is Feng Tifen's wife.

Chu Huan made an appointment with Jian Yueqiang this afternoon. He originally wanted to meet in the afternoon, but Jian Yueqiang had a very important meeting to hold, so he had to postpone the meeting to the evening.

And before Chu Huan came to see Jian Yueqiang, he also called Jian's family to make sure that Jian Yueqiang hadn't rested yet.

Since Chu Huan didn't say what it was on the phone, Jian Yueqiang thought that Chu Huan was doing it for the purpose of buying a Chinese business in Chinese real estate!

This matter is not known to the outside world, but it has spread in the upper class of Xiangjiang.

Chu Huan said with a smile: Uncle Jian, you misunderstood. I came here this time not for the Chinese business, but for Huaye City. I came here to find you!

Jian Yue was stunned for a moment, but then understood what Chu Huan meant.

Do you want to use this project of Huaye City in exchange for Shen Bi's withdrawal from competing with you for the Chinese business?

Chu Huan shook his head and said, That's what I thought, but Shen Bi didn't accept it.

Afterwards, Chu Huan told Jian Yueqiang the process of his conversation with Shen Bi and Roy Bentley.

Jian Yueqiang showed a dignified expression. As a veteran of the Xiangjiang business community, although Chu Huan did not tell Jian Yueqiang why he was looking for Roy Bentley, Jian Yueqiang immediately understood what Chu Huan meant.

A Huan, you are playing with fire. If you can't do this, when Shen Bi takes the position of HSBC executive in the future, the difficulties you will face will be beyond your imagination!

Chu Huan said calmly: I can't help it. Shen Bi is so wary of me now. Even if this incident didn't happen, he wouldn't have to wait for him to sit in the top class of HSBC Bank. He would still continue to target me. mine!

Jian Yueqiang persuaded: Things can't be thought of this way. The reason why Shen Bi targeted you in the matter of the Chinese Bank is more because he wants to show the strength of HSBC, and at the same time he wants you to cooperate with HSBC in the way they want. In other things, I will not be too targeted at you!

That's why you don't understand what I'm going to do next year. If you knew, you wouldn't think so.

But now Chu Huan doesn't want anyone to know about his plan, so he explained: The cooperation method Shen Bi wants is not the cooperation method I want, and according to my current development, when Shen Bi gets on the HSBC After taking the position of Taipan, I will still think that I am HSBC’s biggest opponent.”

If Chu Huan said this to others, even if Chu Huan's development in Xiangjiang is flourishing now, but in the ears of those people, they would still think that Chu Huan was talking about the Arabian Nights.

After all, HSBC is the most powerful company in Xiangjiang, bar none!

But Jian Yueqiang will not, because he is more aware of Chu Huan's situation than others. Just the fact that a quarter of Youth Toys' financial transactions go to the Bank of East Asia is enough for Jian Yueqiang to understand how strong Chu Huan is at this time. up!

Hearing what Chu Huan said, plus Chu Huan's actions before, Jian Yueqiang knew that there was no need to try to persuade Chu Huan at this time.

So, you came here tonight just to tell me that you want to transfer the funds for the Huaye City project from Bank of East Asia to HSBC?

Chu Huan nodded, and said seriously: This is indeed the case.

Jian Yueqiang smiled, feeling quite relieved. This is actually Chu Huan's own project, and he can use whichever bank he wants to use, but now Chu Huan came to tell him about it in person in the middle of the night because of this matter.

This is enough for Jian Yueqiang!

I don't have any problems here, so don't worry! Jian Yue said to Chu Huan with a strong smile.

Chu Huan nodded with a smile and said, Thank you, Uncle Jian!

Why are you being so polite with me! Jian Yueqiang said with a smile.

After talking about this matter, Chu Huan was about to stand up and say goodbye, but when Chu Huan was about to leave, Jian Yueqiang suddenly said to Chu Huan without beginning or end, Ah Huan, let me know what Chongzhi said, He is not going to return to Xiangjiang!

Chongzhi, the son of Jian Yueqiang.

Chu Huan looked back at Jian Yueqiang who was sitting there, and suddenly smiled and said, Thank you, Uncle Jian!

Jian Yueqiang also smiled, then waved his hands and said: Okay, go back quickly, I have to rest earlier!

the next day!

Feng Tianfen met with Li Fushu at Huaren Real Estate!

I have decided to sell Huarenhang to Cheung Kong!

After Li Fushu came to his office, Feng Tifen directly spoke to Li Fushu.

But then he still said to Li Fushu: It's not that I want to give HSBC a favor, but that Li Jiacheng raised the price of acquiring Huarenhang to 145 million Hong Kong dollars yesterday morning. I think this price is already acceptable. In addition, I think Chu Huan You should already know about your affairs, the other party bought Golden Harvest first, and today he has to pay the final payment of the Golden Gate Building, we don't know how much cash he still has in his hand.

Li Fushu glanced at Feng Tianfen suspiciously. He was the one who was in charge of this matter before, but now that Li Jiacheng raised the price again, he was looking for Feng Tianfen?

Is it because you think you have no right to speak in Huazhi?

What Chu Huan bought has nothing to do with us. I still think we should communicate with Chu Huan first about this matter. Whether he has money is his business. What if he can still take it out!?

In Li Fushu's view, he just had one idea, let HSBC and Chu Huan compete, anyway, they are the ones with the highest price!

But now Feng Tianfen directly decided to sell Huarenhang to Changshi, so he naturally felt uncomfortable.

On Feng Tianfen's side, since he had reached some secret deals with Li Jiacheng, he naturally wouldn't give Chu Huan another chance.

Shen Yin said: There is no need to inform Chu Huan about this matter, I have already decided!

When Li Fushu heard what Feng Tianfen said, he immediately looked at the other party with dissatisfaction, You have decided? Why?

Feng Tifen said calmly: It's just because I am the chairman of the board of directors of Huazhi!

Li Fushu also said without giving an inch: Don't forget, I have the right to call a board meeting!

Feng Tianfen chuckled and said, Of course, but do you really think you can get the support of everyone in the Li family?

Li Fushu's expression froze.

Later, one of the most important reasons why the Li family was kicked out of the board of directors of Huaren by the Feng family was that the Li family was not as united as the Feng family.

Feng Tianfen is the well-deserved number one member of the second generation of the Feng family, and all the children of the Feng family are willing to obey Feng Tianfen's orders.

But not the Li family!

Although Li Fushu is the second-generation head of the Li family, the Li family also has a powerful Li Fuzhao. Li Fuzhao was known as the little overlord of the Li family when he was young.

Now serving as the chairman of the Xiangjiang Far East Association is even more powerful, which has also led to the lack of unity within the Li family.

If the board meeting is really held, Feng Tifen will definitely get the support of everyone in the Feng family, but he, Li Fushu, will not necessarily.

Most importantly, the acquirer is HSBC!

Li Fushu may not care about HSBC's deterrent power in Xiangjiang, but other people dare not say it. Besides, Huazhi is not the only shareholder of them.

Hua Zhi was listed in 1968. After the listing, apart from Feng and Li, there are still about 30% of the shares in circulation. These people must be more optimistic about HSBC than Chu Huan.

Ah Shu, take this matter as a face for me. Even if Chu Huan can come up with cash, according to the market value of Huaren Bank, it will not be much higher than 145 million, at most two to three million. , How much of this money can be divided into everyone's hands?

Since this is the case, it is better to sell it to Changshi!

Seeing that Li Fushu didn't speak, Feng Tianfen didn't force Li Fushu too much, but began to persuade Li Fushu with good words.

At this time, Li Fushu could only take advantage of the slope to get off the donkey, and said: Since you have already made up your mind, I will give you a face, but this is only this one time, and there will be no such thing in the future, and don't forget, it will be done right away. It's my turn to be the chairman of Huazhi!

After Huazhi sold Huarenhang, there were no high-quality properties in its hands. Except for a commercial building in North Point, there were only some high-quality stocks left, and the most of them were actually HSBC stocks.

Feng Tianfen smiled and said, It's only natural!

Li Fushu left Feng Tifen's office sullenly.

Feng Tianfen thought for a while, picked up the phone on the table, and called Li Jiacheng.

Soon Li Jiacheng answered the phone: Who is there?

Feng Tifen smiled and said, Li Sheng, I didn't expect us to talk on the phone again so soon!

Hearing Feng Tianfen's laughter, Li Jiacheng was overjoyed and asked directly: Feng Sheng called to tell me the good news, right?

Feng Tifen smiled and said: That's right, after I came to the company this morning, I discussed it with Li Fushu, and both of us agreed that selling Huarenhang to Changshi is the most suitable deal!

Li Jiacheng immediately laughed and said, I have to say, Feng Sheng, you guys really have a good eye!

Feng Tianfen said: Since this is the case, Li Sheng should prepare cash, and we will conduct a formal transaction tomorrow morning!

Li Jiacheng smiled and said, No problem!

After the two hung up the phone, Li Jiacheng immediately called Shen Bi again. 145 million cash was not a small amount for Li Jiacheng at this time. After all, the market value of the entire Changshi is only 500 to 600 million Hong Kong dollars. , plus this period of time, Li Jiacheng has been quietly taking advantage of the current sluggish stock market situation in Xiangjiang to acquire shares in Changshi.

Therefore, Li Jiacheng must get the support of Shen Bi, not to mention that this matter was originally the first cooperation between Changshi and HSBC.

After Shen Bi received the call from Li Jiacheng, he said with a smile: Very good, 15 million extra is not a big deal. The important thing is that Li Sheng, you are about to become the first person in the Xiangjiang business world to take advantage of Chu Huan. merchant!

Chu Huan still has a record in the Xiangjiang business circle that no one has broken so far, that is, there is no business that Chu Huan wants to do, and there is no business that he can't do.

Now that Huarenhang has fallen into the hands of Cheung Kong and HSBC, it is basically a certainty, so this matter will naturally become Chu Huan's first failure in Xiangjiang's business history!

Li Jiacheng said modestly: We all rely on the support of General Manager Shen. Without General Manager Shen, it would be impossible for us to get the Chinese business!

Is this the person HSBC should support? Know who is the big and small king.

Shen Bi was very satisfied with Li Jiacheng's attitude, and said with a smile, Li Sheng is too polite. Our HSBC has always been based on the principle of discovering and cultivating excellent businessmen, and Li Sheng, you are an excellent businessman in Xiangjiang.

Li Jiacheng thanked again: Thank you, Manager Shen, for your appreciation. I will never forget HSBC's support.

After complimenting each other, the two hung up the phone, and Li Jiacheng sat in his chair and finally heaved a sigh of relief, the matter was finally settled.

On the other hand, although Li Fushu didn't take advantage of Feng Tianfen, Li Fushu was still thinking about the Bank of East Asia and didn't want to fall out with Chu Huan.

So after returning to his office, Li Fushu directly told He Bingguang of Hang Lung Real Estate about Feng Tifen's decision!

After hearing this, He Bingguang immediately told Chu Huan about the matter without any hesitation.

Chu Huan, who was sitting in the office of Jiahu Building, pondered for a while, and said, Ask Li Fushu for me!

Today is gone, thank you everyone, the next chapter will be tomorrow at 12 o'clock in the morning~
