The Most Powerful Tycoon Reborn In Xiangjiang Chapter 526

   "By the way, the boss has two more things that I think you should know."

   After Xu Yi told Chu Huan about Zhang Yuliang's family, he reported to Chu Huanhui.

  Chu Huan showed an expression of interest. The current Xu Yi would definitely not talk to him about trivial matters, and it would be no small matter for her to report it as a major event in Xiangjiang.

"whats the matter?"

Xu Yi said: "The first thing is that Swire Properties is planning to go public in August. Before that, Shiyoke Shihuaiya called specially to ask the boss to meet you. The second thing is that Guo Sheng from Malaysia has come to Xiangjiang. I want to meet you!"

Swire Properties, the flagship company of the real estate company under the Swire Group. In 1972, the Swire Group saw that the Xiangjiang real estate industry was booming, while the world shipping industry was beginning to slump, so it established Swire Properties Co., Ltd. to enter the real estate industry. Close the Taikoo Dockyard and use the huge land it owns for real estate development.

   is now Taikoo Shing.

  In the early days, Swire Group sensed the lack of real estate professionals. In order to absorb experience, in 1973, it jointly acquired the small real estate company Jiancheng Real Estate with Dachang Properties under Chen Tetai.

   Taikoo Shing is the leading project of Swire Properties. Last year, Taikoo Shing launched two buildings "Dongting Pavilion" and "Poyang Pavilion" with prices ranging from 200 to 230 yuan per square foot.

  At that time, Swire Properties was worried about poor sales, and gave priority to employees of Swire Group and Golden Gate Construction Company to enjoy discounted subscriptions, so as to create the effect of "short-term sell-out" and attract public attention.

  However, after Dongting Pavilion took over, Taikoo Shing Residences has attracted many buyers with its high-end residential image, and the price has been rising.

  With the success of Taikoo Shing, Swire Properties believed that the further development of Taikoo Dockyard was too large and there was no need to share it with Dachang. Therefore, in 1977, it acquired the entire equity of Taikoo Chang Development and listed Swire Properties on the Xiangjiang stock market.

  Xu Yi nodded and said: "It's like this. Although Dachang Real Estate was not very satisfied, they had no choice but to quit in the end."

It is also very interesting to talk about Dachang Real Estate. Dachang Real Estate is also a well-known real estate company among Xiangjiang real estate companies, but unlike other real estate companies, this real estate company is very keen on cooperating with British consortiums. Gucheng, at the beginning, also cooperated with Hehe International and Whampoa Dockyard to jointly develop the land of Whampoa Dockyard in Hung Hom, Tai Kok Tsui and Xiangjiang Tsai.

However, this matter was stopped by Chu Huan, and in another time and space, it was when Qi Dezun left Hehe International and Wei Li entered Hehe International. Many verbal contracts between the two parties in the past led to a breakdown in the relationship between the two parties. They went to court and later settled out of court.

  In 1979, Dachang Real Estate bought back the remaining 55% of the capital from Hutchison Whampoa for 310 million yuan, and at the same time sold 25% of the ownership of Hutchison Building in the Central District to Hutchison Whampoa for 110 million yuan. The cooperation between the two parties was thus terminated.

   Now it is impossible for the two parties to go to court. After Hehe International paid a certain amount of cash, Dachang and Hehe International no longer have any relationship.

  In fact, not only Hehe International, Swire, and Dachang Properties will also cooperate with Hysan Land to jointly develop Hysan Tower and Leighton Center of Hysan Land.

  Chu Huan and Chen Detai from Dachang Real Estate also know each other, and they have met for several times!

   But the most important thing is the listing of Swire Properties.

   "Did Shiyock talk about something on the phone?" Chu Huan asked.

"No!" Xu Yi shook his head and said, "However, it should be two things in high probability, either it is related to their company's listing. The stock market has some fluctuations except when you, the boss, take actions. The overall trend is still similar to last year. It is mainly consolidation, with limited ups and downs. In addition, you, the boss, bought shares in CMB and KMB before, which brought a negative impact on the stock prices of these two companies. For the increase in the stock price, I think Schjock should also have this idea.”

  The stock market of Xiangjiang in 1977 was not much different from that in 1976. As Xu Yi said, it was mainly consolidation with limited ups and downs.

  Continuing the sluggish atmosphere in 1976, the Hang Seng Index opened at 447.67 points in early 1977, rose to 451.00 points at the highest, and then fell repeatedly to 413.50 points on March 14.

  After mid-March, the market had a technical rebound and rose slowly.

  After that, the market was affected by HSBC's announcement of lowering interest rates, and the stock market rose slightly to 452.17 points on May 11.

  Under normal circumstances, in the second half of the year, the Hang Seng Index only goes back and forth between 410 points and 440 points, with extremely narrow fluctuations.

  At the end of the year, the Hang Seng Index even reversed the previous "law" of "must rise at the end of the year", falling from 436.84 points on November 3 to the closing low of 404.02 points for the year.

  If the factors of Chu Huan's existence are excluded, then the total turnover of the Xiangjiang Fourth Meeting for the whole year has also shrunk significantly to only 6.127 billion yuan.

  So in this context, according to Xu Yi's analysis, if Swire Properties wants to go public, there will be an increase that exceeds expectations, and then favorable external conditions will need to occur.

  Now, no one can match Chu Huan's personal influence in the entire Xiangjiang River, so if Chu Huan can become a shareholder of Swire Properties, it must be a very good thing.

  As for Chu Huan's previous commercial competition with the Swire Group's Shi Huaiya family, it has become insignificant at this time. Only profit is everyone's eternal pursuit.

   "Two possibilities, you just mentioned one, and there is another possibility." Chu Huan asked Xu Yi.

Xu Yi said: "It is very likely that it is another kind of cooperation, but now the units in Taikoo Shing are buying very well, they should not need this kind of cooperation. The most lively thing in Xiangjiang is the property development above the two subway stations. The right to bid has been invited, Swire has signed up to participate, and now Zhulu Real Estate has also signed up, I think they want to seek the possibility of cooperation!"

  Due to the booming sales of "Dongting Pavilion" and "Poyang Pavilion" in Taikoo Shing, "Tanggong Pavilion" and "Yuangong Pavilion" in Taikoo Shing will also be put on sale to the public, so there must be no big problem.

   In fact, this is also the case. When the two buildings were put on sale, the price had risen to 300 yuan per square foot. Buyers and speculators lined up 48 hours in advance, and labor police were required to maintain order.

   This is not yet the peak of Taikoo Shing. By 1981, the housing price in Taikoo Shing had risen to 1,300 yuan per square foot.

   And Taikoo Shing's profit is HK$700 per square foot!

  Simply speaking, Taikoo Shing has made Swire Properties crazy.

  As for the bidding of the property development right above the two subway stations this year, it is the Central Station and Admiralty Station of the subway stations that Chu Huan asked He Bingguang to be in charge of.

  In another time and space, Changshi built Admiralty Center on Admiralty Station, and built Universal Building on Central Station.

  Chu Huan pondered for a while, if he wanted to let himself become a shareholder of Swire Properties, it was absolutely possible, but if it was a joint bid for the property rights of the subway station, Chu Huan could not agree.

   "Call Swire Properties and tell me that I can't do it tonight and tonight, so make an appointment tomorrow afternoon!" Chu Huan said to Xu Yi.

  Xu Yi nodded and said, "Okay, what about Guo Sheng's situation?"

  Chu Huan seemed a little helpless about Guo Henian's affairs. When he returned to his hometown, Guo Henian did a big thing in Xiangjiang.

  Guo Henian established Keli Shipping Company in Xiangjiang, owning 5 new ships, each costing $8 million, with a gross tonnage of 25,000 tons.

  Guo's adherence to the credo of “don't let the fat and water flow to outsiders' fields” used the boats to carry natural products such as wood and sugar for himself, saving a lot of freight.

   It seems good now, but it also gave Guo Henian a wrong idea, that is, he believed that the shipping industry had a lot to do.

  Thus, Guo Henian, who tasted the sweetness, formed a shipping company with the Malaysian government. Two years later, the world ship disaster came, and Guo Henian lost nearly 200 million Singapore dollars.

  Since then, Guo abandoned his dream of being a ship king and invested the main capital in the hotel industry.

  But I don't do shipping business here, so Guo Henian's appointment with me here should not be for this matter.

   As for Chu Huan, he would not take the initiative to mention the shipping industry to Guo Henian. Now is the time for Guo Henian to recognize the shipping industry, and it would be useless to talk too much.

   But no matter what, the two parties are now cooperating in the Shangri-La Hotel in the commercial center, and the relationship between the two parties has always been good, so Chu Huan said.

   "Let's make an appointment tonight!"

  Xu Yi nodded and said: "Yes."

  That night, Chu Huan and Guo Henian met at the western restaurant of the Peninsula Hotel.

   Seeing Guo Henian's face full of spring, Chu Huan knew that the other party was quite optimistic about his development now.

   Naturally, it is even more impossible to mention the shipping industry.

   "A Huan, the Shangri-La Hotel is about to be completed. I chose the middle of June this year for the opening ceremony. You must attend then!"

   It has been nearly two years since the construction of the Zhulu Commercial Center started. During this period, the Shangri-La Hotel, Zhulu Central Plaza and other projects have been completed.

  Then there is intense decoration work. Now Shangri-La Hotel has completed all the decoration work and is ready to be officially put into operation.

  And Guo Henian came to Xiangjiang this time for this matter.

   "No problem, as long as Uncle Guo sends the time to my secretary in advance, I will let them adjust my time."

  Chu Huan did not refuse this. Shangri-La Hotel Chu Huan is a shareholder of the land. Although he does not hold a lot of shares, he can be regarded as a boss.

  The Shangri-La Hotel opened, and it is also necessary to participate in the opening ceremony.

   Seeing that Chu Huan had no problems, Guo Henian seemed very happy.

   "If Shangrilai Hotel's business in Xiangjiang is OK, I plan to set up a hotel company and officially enter the hotel industry. Do you have any ideas, Ahuan?"

  Guo Henian sent an invitation to Chu Huan.

Chu Huan's way of doing business is actually rare, extremely rare, because Chu Huan has sufficient cash in his hands, and Chu Huan has already established personal connections, so Chu Huan can do business. Choose to eat alone food emerges.

   while others are different.

  Even rich people at the level of Guo Henian can't do it. Most of these people's assets are concentrated in real estate, antiques, company stocks, and other aspects, but the actual amount of cash is limited.

So they do business more by looking for reliable partners, so that they can reduce their pressure on cash. At the same time, some people will invite some people who are highly respected in the society or have official backgrounds to join. Open up more space for your own business.

  Swire Group is like this, and so is Guo Henian now.

  If they can guarantee their status as the major shareholder of the company, they actually like people like Chu Huan to join their company. It can not only bring prestige and funds to the company, but also provide an extra line of defense for their company.

   With Chu Huan's sufficient financial support, there is no need to worry about the company being maliciously attacked after it goes public!

  Chu Huan just thought about it briefly, then smiled and said: "Uncle Guo, please come up with a specific charter, and Yunshang and I will jointly invest in shares!"

  The acquaintance with Guo Henian was through Cao Wenjin's matchmaking. Now that Chu Huan has dragged Cao Yunshang into a joint stake, it can be regarded as a guarantee for Guo Henian. They are just simply buying shares and will not affect Guo Henian's authority in the company.

   "Haha, since I invited you, A Huan, I naturally believe in your character, A Huan!"

   Guo Henian smiled and said, he naturally understood the meaning of Chu Huan's words.

  In fact, even if Chu Huan did not join Cao Yunshang, Guo Henian still believed in Chu Huan. If there is no full trust in this kind of thing, Guo Henian would not invite Chu Huan.

  Although Chu Huan has made a lot of acquisitions in Xiangjiang, Chu Huan still has a good reputation for his partners. The current Li & Fung Group and TVB are like this.

After Chu Huan joined these two consortiums, Chu Huan not only seldom participated in the operation of these two companies as he had promised at the beginning, but also favored the two consortiums in terms of his company's resources, which led to this The current development of the two consortiums is also rapid.

  Combined with the relationship between the two parties, Guo Henian naturally believed in Chu Huan even more.

   "Okay, I'll wait for Uncle Guo's specific regulations." Chu Huan also smiled.

  Guo Henian nodded and said, "I'll have someone prepare it."

   After talking about this matter, Guo Henian talked to Chu Huan, and after the details, the two separated.

   Chu Huan, who returned to No. 12, Mount Kellie Road, also told Cao Yunshang about this.

  Cao Yunshang said: "There is no problem on my side, so let's wait for Uncle Guo to come up with a specific charter!"

  Chu Huan nodded.

  He has been living at No. 12, Mount Kellett Road during this time, in order to satisfy the matter of making her belly bigger as soon as possible.

  So tonight, at No. 12 Mount Kellett Road, there was still talk all night, and there was a lot of movement.

  Next day!

   Before Chu Huan went to see Shi Huaiya, he called Liu Pingkui to his office.

Wearing a plaid shirt, Liu Pingkui sat on the sofa in Chu Huan's office without any image, holding the drink he received from Wu Shuhan's in his hand, and said flatteringly to Chu Huan: "Brother Huan, you are so early in the morning It must be a good thing to call me here, right?"

Chu Huan kicked Liu Pingkui's foot off the coffee table, and then said, "I wanted to tell you about getting rich, but seeing how you are now, I decided not to tell you. Now go out and turn right." , Get out of the Chinese business in a mellow manner."

  Liu Pingkui smiled, didn't care about Chu Huan's reprimand, and licked his smile and said: "Brother Huan, you know me, and I'm not used to it."

   Liu Pingkui and Chu Huan are still very concerned about her. This is the first time she came out with her as a child. There is no big pursuit in life. Enough money, enough place to live, and enough women are enough.

   "Where's your girlfriend Wei Qiuhua?"

  Last year at the gathering at No. 12 Mount Kellett Road, Liu Pingkui took Wei Qiuhua with him. At that time, many people thought that Liu Pingkui was about to calm down.

result

   "We broke up. After the movie was finished, we broke up, so we can get together and break up, and we won't be in arrears!" Liu Pingkui said proudly.

  Chu Huan didn't care about this kind of thing, and asked directly: "How much cash do you have now?"

Hearing Chu Huan's question, Liu Pingkui immediately sat up straight and said, "There should be three to five million yuan in cash. If you add stocks and real estate, you should be able to make up about five million yuan. Brother Huan, how about you?" Do you want to use it?

   If you want to use it, I will find a stock broker and a real estate broker to sell the stocks and real estate in a while! "

Even if Liu Pingkui is now one of the most famous directors of commercial films in Xiangjiang, his assets should not be so much, but who makes Liu Pingkui Chu Huan's childhood friend, and with the help of Chen Haichao, Bao Tianming, and Zhu Xiaozhao, all Tens of millions of net worth can only show that Liu Pingkui usually spends a lot of money.

  Chu Huan said angrily: "If I have to use your money to turn around, I will really fail!"

  Hearing that Chu Huan didn't want to use money, Liu Pingkui returned to his lazy look, and said with a smile: "Brother Huan is mighty!"

Seeing Liu Pingkui's unscrupulous appearance, Chu Huan was also helpless, and said: "Keep all your real estate and stocks, I will count as you have 4 million in cash, and I will ask Xu Yi to give you another 6 million in cash. Raise 10 million, this money is not given to you for nothing, I will give you the remuneration for the movie you will film in the company later on!"

   "No problem!" Liu Pingkui said indifferently: "But Brother Huan, why are you giving me so much money all of a sudden?"

  Chu Huan said: "The "Tang Palace Pavilion" and "Yuan Palace Pavilion" in Taikoo City will be sold to the public, you know?"

   Liu Pingkui nodded and said: "I know, the advertisements have been quite loud recently, and we even invited artists from our company to be the spokespersons!"

  Chu Huan said: "The house in Taikoo City is not bad. You can use this ten million to buy the property in Taikoo City. Whether you can buy it or not depends on your own ability!"

  The "Tanggong Pavilion" and "Yuangong Pavilion" sold this year cost HK$300 per square foot, but in 1981, the house price in Taikoo Shing rose to HK$1,300 per square foot.

  With an increase of more than four times, if Liu Pingkui can persist until the time when Chu Huan was reborn, a random house of five or six hundred square feet in Taikoo City can be sold for more than 20 million.

  Chu Huan also wanted to understand that it was unrealistic for Liu Pingkui to go into business by himself, and it would be good to show him the way to become a happy rent collector in the future.

  In fact, not only the houses in Taikoo Shing, but also the real estate developed under the name of Zhulu Real Estate will also reserve a set of properties for Liu Pingkui. Otherwise, how could Liu Pingkui have millions of units.

   "Hey, this is a good thing. Brother Huan, don't worry. Although I am not as good as Brother Tianming and the others in business, this kind of thing is guaranteed to be fine."

  Liu Pingkui preached happily.

  Chu Huan nodded and said, "Okay, there's nothing else to do, get out!"

   "Don't, Brother Huan, I haven't eaten in the morning, you leave me here to finish my meal before leaving!"

   Liu Pingkui played a rogue.

   "Shu Han, Shu Han!" Chu Huan stood up, called Wu Shuhan in, pointed at Liu Pingkui and said, "Let the security guard come in and drive this fat man out!"

  Wu Shuhan understood the relationship between Chu Huan and Liu Pingkui, so he just covered his mouth and chuckled.

  Liu Pingkui got up helplessly, took a bottle of XO of an unknown year in Chu Huan's office, and left Chu Huan's office.

   In the afternoon, Chu Huan appeared in the peninsula again, but this time it was not the western restaurant of the peninsula, but the coffee shop of the peninsula, where Chu Huan also met Shao Yifu of Shaw Brothers.

   "Uncle Six, I haven't congratulated you properly yet!"

  Since we saw him, we naturally wanted to say hello. Just this year, in recognition of Shao Yifu's contribution to Hong Kong's charity, Shao Yifu was awarded a knighthood by the Queen of England.

  From now on, you can officially call Yifu Shao Sir Shao!

  Shao Yifu laughed softly: "If others say that, I will really take it as a compliment for me, but if you say that, Ah Huan, I feel that you are making fun of me."

  For this year's knighthood, not only Yifu Shao is in Xiangjiang, Chu Huan is also nominated, but Chu Huan rejected it.

  Chu Huan said with a smile: "I sincerely congratulate you, Sixth Uncle."

Shao Yifu waved his hand, and didn't get too entangled in this matter, but talked about another matter with Chu Huan, "I just met today, what do you think about this year's Hong Kong Cultural Festival, I heard that the organizer Didn't the unit come to you? Why didn't you agree?”

  At the end of June and early July this year, there was an art festival in Xiangjiang, which was actually the same as film exhibitions in other places.

  The organizer found Chu Huan before and invited him to be the chairman of the art festival, but Chu Huan refused.

   "Did they find you, Uncle Six?" Chu Huan asked.

  Shao Yifu nodded and said, "I found it, I'm still thinking about it!"

In fact, Shao Yifu is not bothered that the other party went to Chu Huan first, and then found himself after Chu Huan was rejected somewhere. If Shao Yifu wanted to compete with Chu Huan's black and white images in Xiangjiang before, but with the past few years Chu Huan's black-and-white images were suppressed one after another on the Xiangjiang box office list, and at the same time, Chu Huan himself didn't pay much attention to black-and-white images.

   This made Shao Yifu no longer have the idea of ​​competing with Chu Huan, even if he did, he would be with Fang Jianhui.

"Then I agree. Sixth Uncle, you are highly respected in the film industry. You are the best candidate. You also know my situation. First, I basically don't care about the black and white video. Second, I'm not too interested in that kind of activity right now."

  Chu Huan preached indifferently.

  Now Chu Huan really doesn't care about this false name.

In the past, these false names were needed to enhance their prestige in Xiangjiang, but now these false names need themselves to increase their influence. This is the same as the rejection of the Queen's title before, and it is a great thing in the eyes of other people in Xiangjiang .

  But in Chu Huan's view, it's completely unnecessary!

   "What are you two talking about, so happy!"

   While Chu Huan was chatting with Shao Yifu, Shi Huaiya came over and said to Chu Huan with a smile: "I'm very sorry, Mr. Chu, the company is late for something temporarily!"

  Chu Huan said with a smile: "It's okay, I came early."

  Since Shiyoke Shi Huaiya came, Chu Huan naturally ended his conversation with Shao Yifu, and the two came to their seats, and after taking their seats, they began their conversation.

  After exchanging pleasantries, Shiyok Shihuaiya explained his purpose of coming.

   "I believe Mr. Chu should already know about the upcoming listing of our Swire Properties?"

  Hearing what Shiyoke Shihuaiya said, Chu Huan knew that the other party asked him to come out in order to create momentum for the listing of Swire Properties.

   "I already know, and here I would like to congratulate Mrs. Shi Huaiya. After Swire Properties goes public, with the help of Taikoo City's popularity, it will definitely become another mainstay in the Xiangjiang Real Estate industry."

Shiyok Shi Huaiya smiled reservedly, and said: "I hope to take advantage of Mr. Chu's auspicious words. I invited Mr. Chu to come here today. In fact, it is for this matter. We Taigu want to know whether Mr. Chu is interested in becoming our Taigu Shareholders of real estate, if possible, our Shi Huaiya family very much hopes to maintain a cooperative relationship with Director Chu."

Inviting Chu Huan to become a shareholder of Swire Properties, Schwariya not only took a fancy to Chu Huan's influence in Xiangjiang at this time, but also was optimistic about the development of Zhulu Real Estate. If the two parties can use this relationship in the future to deepen their mutual relationship Commercial contact is a very good thing for the entire Swire Group.

  Before this, Chu Huan hoped to find an opportunity to acquire Swire, but with the occurrence of various events, Chu Huan also understood that it was basically impossible to acquire Swire.

Since it cannot be acquired, it is also a good thing to invest in Swire Properties now. After all, the current market value of Swire Properties is more than one billion Hong Kong dollars, but by the 1990s, Swire Properties had become a large real estate company with tens of billions of assets up.

   "It's great to be able to cooperate with Swire Taipan, but Swire Properties is backed by the Swire Group and has such a powerful project as Taikoo Shing. Mr. Taipan shouldn't just want to invite me to be a director of your company, right?"

  Although Chu Huan's reputation is very prosperous now, Chu Huan still thinks that Shi Huaiya should have other considerations when inviting him.

Schwariya laughed and said: "If there are other plans, I hope that if Mr. Chu still has any business to do in the future, he hopes to bring our Swire Group with him. In addition, he also hopes that Mr. Chu will be there so that other People dare not covet our Swire Group."

  Inviting Chu Huan to become a shareholder of Swire Real Estate this time, although there is an idea of ​​borrowing Chu Huan's name, it is also for the future development of Swire, and Schwariya said it frankly!
