The Most Powerful Tycoon Reborn In Xiangjiang Chapter 374

  Chapter 374 The first step in the acquisition of Hehe International (7K chapter, please subscribe~)

   After meeting with the TVB executives, Chu Huan returned to Jiahu Building.

  As soon as he came back, Xu Yi learned that Qi Dezun of Hehe International was looking for him in a hurry.

  After thinking for a while, Chu Huan asked Xu Yi to leave his office, while Chu Huan called Qi Dezun's office.

  After answering Chu Huan's call, Qi Dezun seemed very excited: "A Huan, do you have time now, let's meet!"

  Chu Huan looked at the watch in his hand, and said calmly: "Not now, I will have a meeting later, it is very important, well, let's meet at the Wuyue meeting tonight!"

  Then Chu Huan hung up the phone, the corners of his mouth slightly raised.

  He didn't have any meetings to hold, but Chu Huan still decided to cool off Qi Dezun, because Chu Huan knew why Qi Dezun called him.

The life of Hehe International is getting more and more difficult day by day. The problems of overseas investment projects are one after another. In addition, Qi Dezun invested in Swiss francs in order to help Hehe International to survive the difficulties, and the Swiss franc plummeted. The capital chain was completely dragged down.

  Now there is a sudden rumor on the market that Chu Huan has acquired TVB shares, which gives Qi Dezun some opportunities. Although Hehe International's TVB equity is only more than 20 million, it is a drop in the bucket for Hehe International's current situation.

  But having something is better than nothing!

  Maybe with this amount of funds, I can lead Hehe International past this hurdle!

  Qi Dezun can only think like this.

   But how could Chu Huan let Qi Dezun go through this hurdle? The acquisition of Hehe International is one of Chu Huan's most important projects in Xiangjiang this year, so Chu Huan must not let Qi Dezun lead Hehe International over this hurdle.

  But if Chu Huan wants to get Hehe International smoothly, the relationship with Qi Dezun cannot be too rigid, so now he can only continue to deal with the other party.

   It was delayed until night before Chu Huan came to the Five Sacred Mountains Meeting, and then met Qi Dezun who was a little anxious.

  At this time, Qi Dezun was only 58 years old, but his face was already older than that of Shao Yifu. It was obvious that Qi Dezun was physically and mentally exhausted by the Hehe International affairs during this period.

  Chu Huan asked knowingly and said: "Mr. Daban, what's the matter with you, I haven't seen you for a few months, why are you so old?"

  Qi Dezun did not once again show off his demeanor as the top class of one of the four major foreign firms in Xiangjiang in front of Chu Huan at this time, but said to Chu Huan with a wry smile: "Ah Huan, you are finally here!"

  Chu Huan said: "You also know that Black and White Video has just acquired TVB, and now it is reorganizing the group company. There are indeed a lot of things."

Qi Dezun didn't doubt anything about Chu Huan's explanation, because it was human nature, and said, "Ah Huan, why didn't you come to us Hehe International if you want to acquire TVB? We also have more than two million shares in Hehe International's hands." TVB shares!"

Chu Huan made a dazed expression, and then smiled: "It turns out that what Mr. Taipan said, Hehe International is different from HSBC. I think Hehe International has always been committed to building a comprehensive consortium, so the shares in TVB in hand It's definitely useful to keep it, and besides, TVB's shares don't have much money, so it's not worth buying from someone!”

  Qi Dezun smiled more and more bitterly. The current Chu Huan is indeed not the former Chu Huan. He said that the shares worth more than 20 million Hong Kong dollars were not much money.

  Recalling the scene when Chu Huan was scheming against the Milk Company and Landmark, Qi Dezun felt as if he had passed away.

   "At this time and at that time, A Huan, haven't you heard about Hehe International recently?" Qi Dezun asked Chu Huan.

  Chu Huan said with a smile: "I went to Japan some time ago, and I just returned to Xiangjiang not long ago, and then I have been busy with the acquisition of TVB and the reorganization of the media group."

   Speaking of this, Chu Huan showed a worried expression, and asked Qi Dezun: "Is Hehe International encountering any problems now?"

  Qi Dezun pondered for a while, and suddenly he spoke with sincerity: "A Huan, what do you think is the relationship between the two of us?"

  Chu Huan immediately said resolutely: "Of course there is no problem. If it weren't for Mr. Taipan, you helped me back then, I might not be up now!"

Qi Dezun waved his hands and said: "According to your ability, A Huan, even if I didn't make a move back then, I believe you will be able to achieve what you are today. This time I really have no choice, so I came to ask you for help, A Huan. of!"

  Chu Huan said: "Mr. Taiban has anything to say, just say it. If I can personally provide any help, there will be no problem!"

  Qi Dezun showed a hint of surprise, and immediately said: "We, Hehe International, want to sell TVB's shares, and our company also wants to borrow a sum of money from you, A Huan!"

   Sure enough, he came here for the purpose of borrowing money. Chu Huan made a thought, and then asked Qi Dezun: "I don't know what price Mr. Taipan plans to sell TVB's shares, and how much does your company want to borrow?"

  Hearing that Chu Huan had an idea, Qi Dezun immediately said: "The TVB shares will be sold to you at the current market price. As for borrowing money, our company wants to borrow 200 million!"

  Chu Huan showed a embarrassed expression and said: "Mr. Taiban, I remember that last year, your company developed a huge project in Indonesia? Why are you still short of money now?"

  Last year, Qi Dezun proposed to Chu Huan to join the project in Indonesia in order to raise more funds to help Hutchison International survive this hurdle.

  At that time, Qi Dezun proposed 80 million Hong Kong dollars, but Chu Huan rejected it out of cash. Now Qi Dezun not only wants to sell his TVB shares, but also wants to borrow 200 million Hong Kong dollars!

Qi Dezun's face turned red with embarrassment, finally he gritted his teeth, and said directly to Chu Huan: "At this time, I don't want to hide it from you, Ah Huan. There are some problems with the project in Indonesia, and the entire Hehe International The funds can't last for a few months, if you don't help, A Huan, I'm worried that Hutchison International will not be able to survive in the end!”

  Chu Huan looked at Qi Dezun in surprise, and couldn't help asking: "No way, a company as big as Hutchison International will not be able to survive a project?"

   After finishing speaking, Chu Huan showed a dazed expression again, and said, "Hutchison International has a lot of debts, right?"

Qi Dezun sighed, and said: "Since I have mentioned the matter to this point, I will tell you, A Huan, that the company's arrears have exceeded the warning line, and the company's shareholders no longer agree to the group's payment of debts." Bank loan.

  And among the shareholders of Hutchison International is HSBC”

The current HSBC must be thinking about Hutchison International, but it does not necessarily want to hold Hutchison International in its hands. After all, according to the "Company Law" and "Banking Law", banks are not allowed to engage in non-financial business, which means that banks can Invest in some non-financial service company groups, but cannot fully control them. This is why HSBC can control Hang Seng, but cannot hold Hutchison International for a long time.

But HSBC must be thinking about things in Hutchison International and earning the most in line with their own interests. Although HSBC also had shares in Hutchison International before and was one of the major shareholders, because Hutchison International is still completely in the Under Qi Dezun's control, HSBC was very dissatisfied with Qi Dezun's behavior because of Qi Dezun's borrowing of Swiss francs.

  So in HSBC's view, finding a more obedient agent to enter Hutchison International is the right way.

  This is also the reason why HSBC sold Hutchison to Li Jiacheng in another time and space.

After Qi Dezun dismissed Hutchison International as the head class, HSBC recruited Wei Li, known as the company doctor, to take charge of Hutchison's business. Behind the scenes, HSBC chose to sell its Hutchison shares to Li Jiacheng, who was more obedient, after being fed up with Wei Li and Wei Li's management team.

  Chu Huan didn't answer Qi Dezun's question immediately at this time, but was thinking.

According to Chu Huan's intention, when Hehe International was completely thunderstormed in September this year, Chu Huan brought the shares of Hutchison International that he had purchased in the stock market to the board of directors of Hutchison International, and then joined hands with Qi Dezun to make HSBC's proposal Get rid of it, and finally Chu Huan will fight Qi Dezun again.

   But the consequence of doing so would definitely be to turn against HSBC, which is why Chu Huan chose to support Roy Bentley.

Although Roy Bentley can't bring him much help in this matter, if Roy Bentley can really take the position of HSBC executive, then Chu Huan can rely on the help of Roy Bentley. Telley's relationship to repair his relationship with HSBC.

  But now Qi Dezun came to him again to borrow money. If he lends to the other party, Hehe International is likely to overcome this difficulty. Then it is not impossible to get Hutchison International, but it will be more difficult.

   But if he continues to choose to stand by and watch, how much of his relationship with Qi Dezun will be left when the Hehe International storm hits in September?

  Will Qi Dezun definitely choose to stand on his side?

  When thinking of this, Chu Huan realized that he had taken his previous plan for granted.

   "Mr. Taipan, logically speaking, I am also a shareholder of Hehe International, so there is no problem in lending money to the company, but the money"

  Chu Huan spoke hesitantly.

  When Hehe International joined the Huaye City project before, Chu Huan chose to exchange shares for shares, and got 5% of Hehe International's shares.

  Qi Dezun looked at Chu Huan worriedly and asked, "It's A Huan, is the cash in your hand also a little difficult?"

   Not everyone can come up with 200 million cash.

  Chu Huan thought for a while, made a decision, then shook his head, and said, "I can afford 200 million Hong Kong dollars, but there is one thing I want to discuss with Mr. Taipan!"

Qi Dezun's expression is a bit complicated. In fact, people who have borrowed money probably have such thoughts. When borrowing money, they hope that the other party can lend the money to themselves happily, and then don't ask other things, because it will make the borrower very upset. embarrassment.

Although Qi Dezun didn't have such thoughts at this time, he knew Chu Huan well. Since Chu Huan said that he had the money, if Chu Huan really wanted to lend it to him, he could just borrow it. There are other things.

  Qi Dezun felt that Chu Huan had other things to do.

   "A Huan, what do you want to say?"

  Chu Huan said: "I want to use this money to buy shares in Hehe International!"

  In the end Chu Huan chose to tell Qi Dezun his plan in advance.

   This is a risky move. If it doesn't work well, Chu Huan's plan will be made public, and it will be more difficult for Chu Huan to obtain Hehe International.

   Sure enough, after hearing what Chu Huan said, Qi Dezun immediately showed a look of vigilance.

  Chu Huan spent 200 million yuan to acquire the shares of Hehe International. According to the current share price of Hehe International, the 200 million Hong Kong dollars is enough to make Chu Huan the absolute controlling shareholder of Hutchison International.

  What was the market value of Hehe International at its peak?

  More than 7.2 billion Hong Kong dollars!

  What is the market value of Hehe International now?

  390 million Hong Kong dollars!

   This is still due to the project of Huaye City, otherwise, the market value of Hehe International will be even lower!

  200 million Hong Kong dollars is enough for Chu Huan to become the largest shareholder of Hehe International at this time.

  Qi Dezun single-handedly led Hehe International from a third-rate British consortium in Xiangjiang to one of the four major foreign firms. It is impossible to say that he has no affection for Hehe International.

   Now Chu Huan wants to acquire Hehe International?

  Qi Dezun couldn't accept it immediately.

   "A Huan, are you joking?"

Now that the matter has been discussed, Chu Huan doesn't have to hide it anymore, and said to Qi Dezun frankly: "Mr. Taipan, you know the current situation of Hehe International, and I also know that if there is no injection of foreign capital, then Hehe International will There are only a few months of life left.

Once the capital chain of Hehe International is broken at that time, it will inevitably cause a chain reaction. HSBC has already been dissatisfied with you, Mr. Taipan. I think you should know this matter better than anyone else. Then HSBC will definitely stand at that time. on the opposite side of you.

   As a result, the control of Hehe International has changed hands, and Mr. Taipan, your glory in the first half of your life will be destroyed! "

  Chu Huan's last words made Qi Dezun fall into silence.

  Qi Dezun is a very proud person. In fact, in the personality of the Taipan of Xiangjiang Four Ocean Banks, there is more or less the shortcoming of being very proud.

  Because they leveraged their influence in England and England's control over Xiangjiang, these have allowed them to achieve great success in their entrepreneurial or development stages.

   And this kind of success has also created their proud character.

  What is Qi Dezun's greatest pride in this life?

It is to lead Hehe International from a third-rate British-funded foreign firm to one of the four major foreign firms in Hong Kong. If his ending ends in the way Chu Huan said, then in the future, this will inevitably become a situation that Qi Dezun will never be able to forgive himself for the rest of his life. things.

  Chu Huan's words can be said to have directly reached Qi Dezun's heart.

   "Tell me your suggestion!"

  Finally, Qi Dezun preached to Chu Huan noncommittally.

   At this time, it is no longer a matter of seeking Chu Huan's help, but a matter of whether to let Chu Huan take a stake in Hehe International. In Qi Dezun's view, the relationship between the two parties has changed.

  Chu Huan didn't care about Qi Dezun's attitude. After all, if his plan can succeed, Qi Dezun is the most important part of it!

"I will take out the funds, and you, Mr. Taipan, will be responsible for acquiring the shares held by other shareholders of Hehe International. At that time, these shares will be held by an overseas investment company. In the future, Mr. Taipan will lead Hehe International out of the current quagmire. At the same time, Mr. Daban also needs to cooperate with me to do some other things during this period. After Hehe International is completely out of the current quagmire in the future, please Mr. Taiban will sell all the shares of Hehe International in your hands at twice the current market price. International shares sold to me!"

   This is Chu Huan's plan. If Qi Dezun can agree to Chu Huan's plan, then Chu Huan can avoid having a bad relationship with HSBC at this stage, and at the same time buy more time for Roy Bentley.

   Only when Roy Bentley becomes the top class of HSBC is the most beneficial situation for Chu Huan!

  After Qi Dezun heard what Chu Huan said, his mind was also spinning rapidly. First of all, Chu Huan's proposal must be able to help the current Hehe International to overcome this difficulty, but the problem is even more serious.

   That is, his wealth will shrink extremely. At this time, Qi Dezun's shares in Hehe International are about 27%.

  Although Hehe International currently has a market value of less than 400 million, if you look at it this way, the value of the stocks in Qi Dezun's hands is only more than 100 million.

  However, the real value of Hehe International itself is far more than this figure. At this stage, the real asset value of Hehe International is at least 4 billion Hong Kong dollars.

  That is to say, the value of the stock in his hand should be more than one billion Hong Kong dollars, but now Chu Huan only wants to buy it for more than two billion

"Mr. Taipan, I know that the asset value of Hehe International must be more than the amount I said, but don't forget, the current situation of Hutchison International, without my help, maybe Hehe International can survive this difficulty, but You will definitely lose Hehe International. At that time, in the history of Hehe International, how will future generations describe you? They will say that you are the Taipan who was kicked out!"

  Chu Huan continued to stimulate Qi Dezun's nerves with words.

   After hearing this, Qi Dezun's expression changed slightly. Such an evaluation was unacceptable to Qi Dezun.

"The wealth you have accumulated in Xiangjiang over the years, I think no one except yourself knows the exact amount. A decent and glorious end, a fortune that no one else can match, will be in the rest of your life. Wouldn't it be a better choice to live in glory and applause?"

  Hitting a stick to a sweet date, Chu Huan is still well versed in negotiation skills.

  Actually, this is Chu Huan reminding Qi Dezun of another matter. Hehe International encountered operational difficulties, but it was not Qi Dezun's personal difficulties.

After so many years of running Hehe International, the dividends alone are enough to make Qi Dezun one of the richest people in Xiangjiang. Coupled with the convenience he has brought to himself by controlling Hehe International over the years, as Chu Huan said, Qi Dezun has His wealth is indeed unimaginable to others.

   But even with such wealth, Qi Dezun still did not choose to provide help for Hehe International in the matter of difficulties encountered by Hehe International, but sought foreign aid.

   There are actually two reasons for this.

The first reason is that Qi Dezun is now the largest shareholder of Hehe International, but he is not the absolute controlling shareholder. If he proposes to inject capital, he must discuss it with all other shareholders, and the shareholders represented by HSBC must not Will agree to this matter.

  Qi Dezun even raised this proposal at the shareholders meeting of Hehe International, but it has been rejected by the board of directors of Hehe International.

   One is because of HSBC's obstruction, and the other is because the stock market in Xiangjiang has not improved, and those shareholders don't know whether their money can really lead the company through this difficulty!

And the second reason why Qi Dezun seeks foreign aid is actually here, because Qi Dezun also knows that the current Hehe International is in deep trouble, and he himself does not know if he injects funds, will he lead Hehe International through this time? difficulties.

   After passing it, naturally everything is easy to say.

   But if you can't make it through, then you will be a loss for both parties.

   "The current market value is doubled, which is definitely not acceptable. If you really want Hehe International, A Huan, you should buy my shares according to the stock price at that time!"

  At this time, Qi Dezun was already a little moved, otherwise he wouldn't have talked to Chu Huan about the specific number!

  Although Chu Huan really wants to acquire Hehe International, it doesn't mean that Chu Huan will satisfy Qi Dezun's demands endlessly.

  Although that would make him have a bad relationship with HSBC, compared with the two, Chu Huan believes that even if he has a bad relationship with HSBC, the price he will pay will not be higher than the price he will pay after the stock price of Hehe International returns to normal!

  So Chu Huan shook his head and said: "Mr. Taiban, you know that it is impossible, because you and I both know that without my joining, no one knows whether Hehe International can overcome this difficulty."

  Qi Dezun had already figured out the whole thing at this time, and what he said naturally became more and more organized.

   "I can't talk about it. Even if I help you buy the shares of Hehe International, we will need to jointly inject capital into the company. In this case, I still need to invest personally."

The 200 million that Chu Huan took out was only used to acquire the shares of Hehe International, which means that the money will go into the hands of those who sell the shares of Hehe International, and Chu Huan and Qi Dezun want to lead the current Hehe International out of this world. If the situation is difficult, it still needs to inject funds into the company.

   This is what Qi Dezun is looking for at this time.

  Chu Huan said with a smile: "I personally can sign some contracts with Mr. Daban. I will bear the funds that need to be injected into the shares you hold!"

  Qi Dezun understood that these were not the only cards he had in his hole, so he still spoke with a smile.

"A Huan, if I don't agree to you, I believe that with your personal financial resources, you will definitely be able to acquire Hehe International in the future, but doing business in Xiangjiang is not just about money. When the time comes, the Hong Kong government and HSBC will not I will hope that you can gain control of Hehe International, so at this time you will think of this method of keeping secrets, and I will come forward to hold the shares of Hehe International for you."

   This is where Chu Huan is helpless.

  Although Ma Jizu has already started political investment for Chu Huan in Japan, Europe, America and other places, but this is a long-term matter, and it is basically impossible to achieve results at this stage.

  As Qi Dezun said, doing business in Xiangjiang is not all about having money, and the Hong Kong government and the British government behind the Hong Kong government must also be considered.

   Not to mention, after Chu Huan acquired Hehe International, there are more things to do!

  The Chinese businessmen in Xiangjiang can really stand up in Xiangjiang, not because the development of Chinese businessmen is getting better and better, but because the situation in their hometown has stabilized.

   Only in this way can the status of Xiangjiang Chinese merchants in Xiangjiang be truly improved.

  In another time and space, it pioneered the commercial behavior of Xiangjiang Huazi Company annexing foreign-funded enterprises. It happened in 1977 when Li Jiacheng acquired American-owned Yonggao Company.

   And it was after the situation in their hometown stabilized that foreign companies in Xiangjiang were uncertain about the future situation of Xiangjiang, which led them to prepare to withdraw from Xiangjiang's commercial activities.

  So, it is not a good thing if the country is too weak and the individual is too strong, but it is definitely a good thing if the country is strong and the individual is strong.

   Especially in places like Xiangjiang.

Chu Huan looked at Qi Dezun thoughtfully, and said: "Three times, three times the current market value, if Mr. Taipan agrees, we can start this plan immediately, but if Mr. Taipan does not agree, I don't care. There are many businesses that can be done, not just the acquisition of Hehe International!"

  Qi Dezun saw Chu Huan's firm attitude, and knew that this was Chu Huan's final bottom line.

  After thinking for a while, he said: "This matter is too big, I can't give you an accurate answer now, I need to think about it for a while!"

  Chu Huan nodded slightly, expressing his understanding of this. If the plan agreed by the two is really successful, then this business can be regarded as a commercial act that changes the business structure of Xiangjiang.

  Qi Dezun said that it takes time to think about it, which is also what it should be.

   "But I hope that when we have no final conclusion on this matter, only the two of us know, and no third person knows!"

  Chu Huan preached to Qi Dezun.

  Qi Dezun nodded and said, "It's natural!"

  Qi Dezun went back to think about it. It is impossible to reach a conclusion on this matter within a month or two, and it may even take longer.

   Qi Dezun must first find a way to see if he can turn the tide by himself without accepting Chu Huan's suggestion.

  If possible, Qi Dezun would not have to hand over Hehe International.

  As for Chu Huan's suggestion, in the eyes of Qi Dezun at this time, it was just an extra guarantee.

  Only when things develop to the point where Qi Dezun sees no hope will he really consider Chu Huan's suggestion.

  At this time, Chu Huan also temporarily took his mind off this matter, but focused on the upcoming land auction held by the Hong Kong government.

  The acquisition of Hehe International was something that Chu Huan could not control 100% of the time, but in the auction of the East Tsim Sha Tsui land, Chu Huan could definitely control 100% of it.

   Today Chu Huan drove to the location of this piece of land. Now it is just a wasteland, but Chu Huan understands that it will not be long before this place will become a huge wealth made of reinforced concrete.

   "A Huan!"

   Just as Chu Huan was checking, he heard a familiar voice.

  Chu Huan followed his reputation and saw Huang Tingfang from Sino Land and Guo Henian from Singapore!
