The Most Powerful Tycoon Reborn In Xiangjiang Chapter 489

  Chapter 489 Chu Huan withdraws from the acquisition (7K chapter, please subscribe~)

  Heung Kong has more and more reports on Wheelock's takeover battle, and at the same time, the situation is becoming clearer.

  After analysis, Heung Kong Media concluded that there are seven consortiums that are expected to get Wheelock, namely Jardine Matheson, Swire, Hehe International, Cheung Kong, Universal Group, Cosmopolitan Group, and Jiaku.

   I don't know who released the news. The Hong Kong government does not want Chu Huan's Jiaku Department to get Wheelock, and has even talked with Wheelock's John Madden on the phone.

  As soon as the news came out, it was immediately and firmly denied by the Hong Kong government.

  The Counselor Robert Roberts even personally clarified that Xiangjiang is an open and inclusive city, and no consortium will be targeted.

  Wheelock's takeover battle is a normal business practice, and the Hong Kong government will not intervene in any way.

  Such a statement dispelled some people's doubts, but it was still discussed a lot. In addition, some media wanted to interview Chu Huan on this matter, but they were rejected by Chu Huan's side.

   I just learned from Chu Huan's secretary Xu Yi that Chu Huan believes that Xiangjiang is an open and inclusive city, and the Hong Kong government will not have such a thing happen.

  In addition, John Madden, the boss of Wheelock, also denied that he had received a call from the Hong Kong government.

   It seems that this matter is really groundless.

   But no matter what, in this acquisition battle, Chu Huan's Jiaku Department became the most unlikely consortium to acquire Wheelock.

   It has even been reported by the media that Chu Huan's armor department has fallen behind ahead of schedule!

   Royal Fanling Golf Course!

  Chu Huan, who was wearing a Nike sportswear, had just hit a good shot. The Secretary of State, Luo Bishi, who was holding a club next to him, handed the club to the caddy next to him, and applauded for Chu Huan.

   "Mr. Chu's skills are really getting better and better!"

  Chu Huan handed the club in his hand to the caddy, and then said with a smile: "No way, the opponents are all masters. If you can't improve your golf skills, you won't be able to play with everyone!"

  Luo Bishi chuckled lightly and said, "Is there something in President Chu's words?"

  Chu Huan waved his hand, and said straight to the point: "Is this decision made by the Hong Kong government, or by the British government?"

  Luo Bishi also said with some helplessness: "Mr. Chu, why bother to ask knowingly? Whether it is the Hong Kong government or the British government, Wheelock, Mr. Chu will not be able to get it!"

   "Hehe!" Chu Huan smiled contemptuously, and said, "Xiangjiang is an open and inclusive city, and the Hong Kong government is managing Xiangjiang with an inclusive attitude!"

   Facing Chu Huan's cynicism, Luo Bishi only frowned slightly. At this time, Chu Huan's reputation was no longer limited to Xiangjiang, and he had become a successful businessman attracting worldwide attention through the acquisition of Ford Motor shares.

  The Hong Kong government actually didn't want to have any conflict with Chu Huan, because it would be very bad for their reputation.

  British people still want to save face!

"Mr. Chu, there are a lot of relationships involved here, and I hope Mr. Chu can understand some things!" Luo Bishi comforted Chu Huan and said, "Actually, according to Mr. Chu's current business empire, even without Wheelock, he is still the number one person in Xiangjiang. , why make everyone unhappy!"

   "Forget it, since the Hong Kong government has already spoken, I will give this face no matter what!" Chu Huan said helplessly.

  Seeing Chu Huan say this, Luo Bishi secretly breathed a sigh of relief. It was the best thing to be able to persuade Chu Huan to give up voluntarily.

"but."

  Hearing Chu Huan's speech, but Luo Bishi's heart sank, he knew that Chu Huan would not give up this matter so easily.

   "But I hope this is the last time. If something like this happens again in the future, Duka, our friendship will not work!"

  Robert's full name is Sri Padhuka Robinson.

Luo Bishi frowned slightly. In fact, he had heard a rumor that Chu Huan had always been very interested in Xiangjiang's No. 1 listed company, Jardine Harmony. When Bank of Milan was in the hands of HSBC, it acquired 5% of Jardine's shares!

   Others no longer have any actions.

   Now that Chu Huan suddenly said this, it must be that he has another idea about Yihe, right?

  However, Luo Bishi immediately thought of Chu Huan's business activities in North America, and purchased Ford Motor's shares. Chu Huan spent 1.3 billion US dollars. Now that he doesn't have this fund, he probably has no idea about Jardine.

  But if you agree to Chu Huan now, if Chu Huan really takes action against Yihe in the future, what will he do on his side?

Seeing that Luo Bishi did not answer himself, Chu Huan continued to laugh and said: "Duka, according to the current development of Huazi in Xiangjiang, the acquisition battle with Xiangjiang foreign consortium will definitely happen in the future. Blind protection, this kind of thing will be known by the media sooner or later.

  What kind of image will the Hong Kong government have, what kind of image will the British capital in Hong Kong become, and most importantly, can it really be prevented? "

Luo Bishi chuckled, and said: "Chu Dong doesn't need to talk about such a great truth, I know the actual situation, but it's still the same sentence, there are some things that our Hong Kong government can't do if we want to, you have to know, Xiangjiang's These British consortiums also have their own connections in England.

   Even if we decide not to act, the British side is likely to force the order! "

  Chu Huan said indifferently: "It's just possible, Duka. What I want is the attitude of the Hong Kong government, not the attitude of England. As for the attitude of England, I will naturally solve it!"

  Luo Bishi was a little dazed. Chu Huan's words contained a lot of information. Could it be that Chu Huan also had his own connections in England?

  However, after thinking about this doubt for a while, Robert was relieved.

  What is Chu Huan's status now?

  The richest man in Xiangjiang, the richest man in Chinese, with such a background, it would be strange if he didn't establish some relationships of his own!

  Thinking of this, Robert smiled easily, and said: "Our chief secretary is very supportive of his congressmen!"

   Right after the Colonial Secretary issued a statement on Wheelock's takeover battle, the Colonial Secretary was officially renamed as the Chief Secretary, and the Colonial Secretary also became the Chief Secretary.

  Chu Huan understood that his goal had been achieved. In fact, at this time, Chu Huan really didn't have anything he wanted in the chief secretary's office.

The only thing they can do now is to use the official background to stagger themselves, but as long as they can continue to maintain their current status, the Hong Kong government will have to step back and wait for more than a year. The situation in his hometown has changed, and Ma Jizu has completed the layout in England.

  The Hong Kong government can no longer have any influence on itself.

  As for Wheelock, the purpose of his own appearance was to eliminate some people's guesses, so naturally he can withdraw at any time!

After the meeting with Robertson, Xu Yi issued a statement on behalf of Chu Huan, saying that after research, the Jiaku Department believed that the business of Wheelock and the Jiaku Department overlapped in many ways. Officially withdraw from the takeover battle of Wheelock!

  As soon as this news came out, it caused a sensation again in Xiangjiang.

   As the number one person in Xiangjiang, although many people understand that Chu Huan must face many difficulties in acquiring Wheelock. He not only has to face other competitors, but also faces pressure from the Hong Kong government.

   But no matter how you look at it, Chu Huan's Jiaku department shouldn't be the first to quit!

   Unfortunately, Chu Huan was the first to quit!

  Sun Hung Kai Properties, meeting room!

   Guo Desheng, Guo Bingxiang, Guo Bingjiang, Zheng Yutong, Zheng Jiachun, Zhao Congyan, Zhao Shipeng, Zhao Shizeng, Tang Jiqian, and Tang Yunian sat together.

   "Ah Huan actually quit?"

  After receiving the news, Guo Desheng and others were extremely surprised. After all, when they met Chu Huan before, Chu Huan was very strong, and even said that he had something to do with Wheelock.

   Now Chu Huan is the first one to quit?

   Such a result made everyone doubt it.

  Zhao Congyan's eldest son, Zhao Shipeng, is the one who has the least contact with Chu Huan among these people, and he has little friendship. At this time, he preached aloud.

"I think Chu Huan's withdrawal is reasonable, right? Chu Huan is such a high-profile person, and some people in the Hong Kong government and the British government must be unhappy with him. In addition, although Chu Huan is now the number one person in Hong Kong, his foundation It's still a bit superficial, neither the Hong Kong government nor the British government's connections can compare with the old consortia.

   Under such circumstances, Chu Huan quit, I think it is a wise choice! "

   Zhao Shipeng's words did not confuse others, and Zhao Shizeng directly refuted his elder brother: "If it is someone else, maybe it is like this.

   But A Huan had clearly told his daddy and the others before that he was bound to win Wheelock. If this was the case, A Huan would not have given up so easily! "

   "Maybe he just wanted to paralyze his father and the others at that time, and wanted them to give up Wheelock, so that he would have one less opponent, but now he knows that he has no hope, so he gave up!"

  Zhao Shipeng didn't just follow the other party's words just because Zhao Shizeng was his younger brother.

  In fact, the Zhao family brothers are the normal state of the Xiangjiang wealthy family. After Zhao Congyan passed away, they also chose to go to court for the Zhao family's wealth!

   Seeing what Zhao Shizeng wanted to say, Zhao Congyan said directly: "Okay, what's the noise like!?"

   Seeing that their father had spoken, the two brothers stopped talking.

   As for other people, they didn't take this matter to heart, they were all rich and powerful, so it's not surprising that they are used to such a situation!

   "This matter is definitely not as simple as it seems on the surface. I believe that A Huan will definitely not be aimless, so his withdrawal this time must have something that we don't know about!"

   Zheng Yutong preached calmly.

   Zheng Yutong's words were recognized by other people present.

  It is not a short time for everyone to deal with Chu Huan. Naturally, they understand Chu Huan's character. If Chu Huan is such a person who gives up so easily, then he would not be able to achieve what he is now.

Tang Jiqian said: "I don't think I can let this matter take our own pace. No matter what kind of solution A Huan has, our goal has never changed, and that is to do our best. We won Wheelock, so it is more appropriate for us to study our own strategies, after all, we cannot control others, but we can better control ourselves!"

  Everyone nodded again, Zheng Yutong said: "I have already bought a ticket to fly to London this afternoon, and I will take care of the British government then!"

   Zheng Yutong actually has a very deep relationship in England.

  In another time and space, the foundation stone laying of Zheng Yutong's convention and exhibition center was supported by the Queen of England. From this point, it can be seen that Zheng Yutong definitely has his own resources in England!

  Guo Desheng said: "I also invited He Shanheng to have afternoon tea this afternoon."

   To win the final victory in this Hong Kong-wide Wheelock acquisition battle, the Four Seas Consortium must have sufficient funds, and He Shanheng's Hang Seng Bank is one of their trump cards.

  Tang Jiqian said: "I have also made an appointment with Financial Secretary Xia Dingji on Hong Kong Island. I believe there will be some gains."

  Zhao Congyan said with a smile: "I still have some friendship with John Madden, I will make an appointment with him in the next two days!"

  The division of labor among the four people is different, but when they unite, the power they unleash is definitely beyond the imagination of others.

  After the division of labor is over, the meeting of the Four Seas Consortium is also over.

  Kangle Building, Universal Group!

   "So, Chu Huan gave up?"

  Bao Yugang also knew about Chu Huan's withdrawal from the acquisition of Wheelock in the first time.

  Wu Guangzheng nodded, and said: "Xu Yi from Jiaku just released the news through TVB."

   "What do you think about this matter?" Bao Yugang asked Wu Guangzheng.

  They didn't have direct contact with Chu Huan, so naturally they didn't know Chu Huan's attitude towards Wheelock.

  Wu Guangzheng said calmly: "I don't think it's unusual for Chu Huan to give up."

Wu Guangzheng first explained the reasons Zhao Shipeng said, and then added two more points: "In addition, although Chu Huan didn't say it clearly, the acquisition of shares in Ford Motor, and the Ford Motor Asia Division jointly established with Ford Motor These two things have obviously wiped out the cash in Chu Huan's hands, so I think that from the very beginning, Chu Huan's announcement of joining the acquisition of Wheelock is more about giving Hong Kong people an attitude.

  At the same time, I also want to put some pressure on the Hong Kong government! "

   "Put some pressure on the Hong Kong government?" Bao Yugang asked with a smile, "Why do you say that?"

Wu Guangzheng said: "Although Chu Huan has replaced your father and is known as the number one person in Xiangjiang, Chu Huan is different from you. You have been in Xiangjiang for so many years, and the relationship is deeply rooted. It is the Hong Kong government, the British government Everyone needs to give some face, but Chu Huan is different.

  He jumped up so fast that everyone didn't even realize it.

   Although this proved his ability in business, it also exposed one of his shortcomings, that is, in terms of administration, Chu Huan's network is actually very weak.

  Wheelock, as one of the four major foreign firms in Hong Kong, has too much influence. Neither the Hong Kong government nor the British government would want this company to fall into the hands of a Chinese businessman they don't know and have little relationship with. "

Facing Wu Guangzheng's analysis, Bao Yugang nodded in satisfaction, and said: "Your analysis is correct, and in my opinion, Chu Huan's business vision is no longer on this, the most important thing for him now, It should be a matter of the Ford Motor Asia Division, not the acquisition of Wheelock, so the attitude has been expressed, and it should be withdrawn now."

   "That's right!" Wu Guangzheng nodded.

   "Since there is no opponent like Chu Huan, let's study other opponents now!" Bao Yugang said with some ease.

  Although they now analyze the possibility that Chu Huan could not get Wheelock and Fung well, where is Chu Huan's identity? If Chu Huan buys it by force, it will be a very headache for them.

   "Putting on the street, I gave up so easily!"

  Some people are happy because of Chu Huan's withdrawal, and naturally others are unhappy.

  Wheelock's Maddens just aren't happy.

  Although they also know that it is impossible to sell Defeng to Chu Huan, as long as Chu Huan is still there, the richest man in Xiangjiang is an important bargaining chip they use to increase the purchase price of Wheelock.

  But now this chip says he doesn't play anymore!

  How can they be happy!

   "Daddy, now that Chu Huan has given up, we should also prepare for the future. I think we can start negotiations with these acquisition consortiums!"

  Little Madden suggested.

  John Madden nodded, and said helplessly: "I wanted to be the first to negotiate with Chu Huan, but I didn't expect the other party to give up so easily."

Little Madden knew that in this negotiation, there were actually a lot of considerations, such as who to talk to first. According to John Madden, the first one to talk to was Chu Huan. Although Chu Huan was the least of these buyers, Maybe Wheelock, but Chu Huan is the richest of them all.

  If Chu Huan can ask for a high price, then the rest of the negotiations can only be based on this price.

   Now that Chu Huan's 'sitter' is gone, they can only find another one!

   "Contact Changshi's Li Jiacheng!" John Madden said in a deep voice.

  Little Ma Deng was stunned for a moment. He originally thought that his father would contact Bao Yugang of Universal Group first, but he didn't expect that his father wanted to contact Li Jiacheng first.

"Although HSBC stands behind Lijiacheng, Bao Yugang's demand for being able to log in is also very high, and Bao Yugang's wealth should not be underestimated. Under the current situation, I think Bao Yugang is even better than Chu Huan's. More cash in hand!"

  Little Madden suggested.

John Madden shook his head and said, "Although you grew up in Xiangjiang, you still don't know much about Xiangjiang. After all, there are mostly Chinese here in Xiangjiang. They are very humane when they are doing business. According to Bao Yu We just made friends with your grandfather, if we contact him and use him to raise the purchase price, people will be criticized!"

  Little Madden complained with some dissatisfaction: "Father, your decision to leave Xiangjiang is correct. This place will definitely be very chaotic in the future. Now that we leave and return to England, we can rely on a lot of cash and start over!"

  John Madden nodded and said, "Yes, I just don't think about Xiangjiang's future development, so I want to give up Wheelock."

Speaking of this, John Madden pondered for a while, and continued to speak: "Besides, HSBC is behind Lijiacheng. Although our future business focus will be England, HSBC can still provide assistance, as long as the price offered by Changshi is in line with several other companies." If the price given by Fang is comparable, then sell it to Changshi!"

  Little Madden nodded first, and then asked: "What if the price offered by other parties exceeds Changshi?"

  John Madden said as a matter of course: "Naturally, it belongs to the one with the highest price. There is not only one HSBC in England!"

"I see!"

  Changshi Headquarters!

   Li Jiacheng and his right-hand man Sheng Songsheng, Zhou Qian and the three of them are also discussing this matter.

   "Chu Huan quit!"

  When Zhou Qianhe said this again, he was obviously relieved.

   "Yes, although everyone knows that the possibility of Chu Huan getting Wheelock is very slim, but it is undeniable that Chu Huan puts too much pressure on everyone."

   Sheng Songsheng also sighed.

   "In the final analysis, Chu Huan is too good at making miracles!" Li Jiacheng also felt lingering fear when he thought of fighting against Chu Huan these few times.

   "Boss, did Shen Bi reply? With regard to Changshi's acquisition of Wheelock, will there be any obstruction from the Hong Kong government?"

  Now that Chu Huan has withdrawn, Sheng Songsheng has also focused on the acquisition of Wheelock.

  Li Jiacheng finally showed a smile at this time, and said: "With HSBC coming forward, there is no need to worry about this matter. Now, this is just the most ordinary commercial acquisition!"

  After receiving an affirmative reply from Li Jiacheng, Sheng Songsheng, Zhou Qian and the two also smiled.

  As long as there is no participation of the Hong Kong government, with the support of HSBC, Cheung Kong is very likely to be able to acquire Wheelock. As long as Cheung Kong completes this acquisition, it will complete a qualitative leap in its business.

  After the failure of the acquisition of Qingzhou Yingni, Changshi was in a very difficult situation. If it weren't for their unity, Changshi might have become history at this time.

   "Now that all matters other than the acquisition have been resolved, we can safely put all our thoughts on the acquisition of Wheelock."

  Li Jiacheng preached confidently.

   Sheng Songsheng, Zhou Qian and the two also smiled.

   At this moment, the phone on Li Jiacheng's desk rang.

   Li Jiacheng who answered the phone, the smile on his face disappeared, and his expression began to become complicated.

   Just simply said "I will be on time!" and hung up the phone!

   After waiting for Li Jiacheng to hang up the phone, Sheng Songsheng asked curiously, "Boss, who is calling?"

  Li Jiacheng said: "Chu Huan!"

   "Chu Huan?" Sheng Song said, Zhou Qian and the two of them showed surprised expressions. No one thought that Chu Huan would call Li Jiacheng at this time.

   "What did he say?" Sheng Song asked.

  Li Jiacheng shook his head and said: "He just invited me to go to the horse club to watch the horses, and he didn't say anything!"

   Sheng Songsheng, Zhou Qian and the two looked at each other, and finally Zhou Qianhe said: "There is no good banquet, Chu Huan is calling you at this time, what does he want to do?"

  Li Jiacheng shook his head and said, "I'm not sure. If it was for the acquisition of Wheelock, wouldn't he have announced his withdrawal from the battle to acquire Wheelock?"

  Sheng Songsheng's expression tightened suddenly, and he said, "Chu Huan probably wants to buy Changshi?"

Li Jiacheng, Zhou Qianhe and the two instantly remembered the competition between Changshi and Chu Huan for the Chinese business. With the support of HSBC, Changshi was bound to win the Chinese business, and even negotiated the details of the acquisition. It took a big detour and directly acquired Huaren Real Estate.

   Now that Chu Huan is obviously unable to acquire Wheelock, does Chu Huan want to take another big detour and acquire Changshi?

   "Impossible, I will not sell Changshi!" Li Jiacheng said immediately.

  Changshi is the lifeblood of Li Jiacheng, and he will never sell Changshi.

   "I think Chu Huan should also understand this, so why did he still meet with you, the boss at this time?" Sheng Songsheng asked incomprehensibly.

   "It seems that only when I see him, can I know what he thinks in his heart!" Li Jiacheng said helplessly.

   Just as the three fell silent, the phone on Li Jiacheng's desk rang again.

  Li Jiacheng glanced at Sheng Songsheng and Zhou Qianhe before answering the phone.

   "It's John Madden!" After Li Jiacheng hung up the phone, he spoke to Sheng Songsheng and Zhou Qianhe.

   This time, there was no doubt on the faces of these two people, but happiness.

   "John Madden called the boss at this time, it must be for the affairs of Wheelock. It seems that the other party also made this call because of HSBC!"

   Zhou Qianhe analyzed.

Li Jiacheng nodded, but said without too much joy: "John Madden is very greedy. Although he made it clear on the phone that he was the first to call us, the other party must also save us. The price of the company raised the price of the acquisition of Wheelock."

Sheng Songsheng and Zhou Qianhe nodded at the same time, and then Sheng Songsheng said: "But this is not important anymore. After all, we have already made a judgment on this point. Now that the other party is willing to contact you, the boss, it means that we have Standing on the starting line with Hehe International!"

   Li Jiacheng raised his forehead slightly, Hehe International fired the first shot in terms of acquiring Wheelock, and at the same time, because Hehe International already held a part of Wheelock's stock before.

  So before this, everyone thought that Hehe International was ahead of everyone. The only thing that made everyone feel at ease was that although Hehe International made a profit last year, most of the funds were used to repay debts.

   This also led to the funds of Hehe International becoming their weakness.

   "I'm going to see John Madden tonight, and I'll watch the horse race with Chu Huan tomorrow morning. Please help me make an appointment with Qi Dezun from Hehe International, and see if I can meet him tomorrow afternoon!"

   Li Jiacheng preached to Sheng Songsheng and Zhou Qianhe.

   "Hehe International has insufficient funds, and we have the support of HSBC, so there is no problem in terms of funds. If we can cooperate with Hehe International, then there will be no problem in acquiring Wheelock!"

   Also, Huangshan continues to code words~
