The Most Powerful Tycoon Reborn In Xiangjiang Chapter 692

  Chapter 692 Chu Huan: The future steel tycoon (7K chapter, please subscribe~)

  Takacho Mitsui has come to Xiangjiang!

   From his actions, it can be seen how much Chu Huan's plan to invest in BG has affected them.

   "Mr. Chu, I thought we were friends!"

  When seeing Chu Huan, Mitsui Gaochang didn't say any pleasantries, and straight to the point, he preached aloud.

  Chu Huan sat on the sofa, looked at Mitsui Gaochang with a smile, and said, "Mr. Mitsui, aren't we two friends?"

   Mitsui Gaochang said loudly: "Then Mr. Chu, can you explain to me what is going on with Luoshui Mining in Australia? What is going on with Huaguo's BG?"

  Luoshui Mining is the mining company established by Chu Huan in Australia.

  Chu Huan frowned slightly, and said dissatisfiedly: "Mitsui, are you questioning me?"

Mitsui Gaochang's expression froze, and only then did he realize that the Chu Huan in front of him was no longer someone he could yell at. When they were in Japan, their Mitsui family did not take advantage of the battle with Chu Huan. Nearly two years have now passed.

The growth rate of Chu Huan's Japanese bank at this time exceeded Mitsui Takacho's expectations, especially the 1 billion US dollars that the Japanese branch of the Alder Commercial Bank had provided before, and it had successfully supported many Japanese companies. Industry, it can be said that the Japanese Jiaku at this time has already been integrated into the Japanese chaebol. There is me in you, and you in me. It is already impossible to deal with Chu Huan at this time.

Moreover, during the past two years, two major events have occurred in Japan, and both of them are related to Japan's Kokoku, because Japan's Kokoro has invested in Japan's largest securities company Nomura Securities, the largest media group Yomiuri Group, and the three parties. The cross-shareholding continues the operating policy of the Japanese chaebol.

  But with the cross-shareholding of these three groups, Japan Koku has officially become one of the largest financial institutions in Japan, and at the same time has a huge influence in Japan's media industry.

  Plus Chu Huan's investment in Laidao Shipyard.

   And this also guarantees that Japan's Koku has grown into the fifth largest chaebol in Japan after Mitsui, Sumitomo, Mitsubishi, and Fuji!

   "Mr. Chu, I apologize for my attitude just now, but since Mr. Chu has already said that we are friends, why didn't Mr. Chu greet us when he entered the steel industry!"

Chu Huan smiled, and said: "Mr. Mitsui, this itself is the strategic plan for the development of our Jiaku. There should be no need to report to you, Mr. Mitsui. Besides, Mitsui & Co., Ltd. can do business in the steel industry. Could it be that our Jiaku? is it not OK?

   Or, Mr. Mitsui is willing to release more shares of Mitsui & Co., Ltd. to us? "

As soon as these words came out, Mitsui Gaochang was unable to respond, but the anger in his heart still did not dissipate. The whole world knew the layout of Mitsui & Co. in the steel industry, but Chu Huan, as the director of Mitsui & Co., was developing the steel industry independently at this time , still brought many rich people from Xiangjiang.

More importantly, buying a stake in BG is one of the most important strategic plans for Mitsui & Co., Ltd., but now Chu Huan has suddenly stolen his home. No matter what Chu Huan said, the anger in Mitsui's heart can not eliminated.

  How important is the BG project to Mitsui & Co.?

  A string of data can prove it.

Toshio Sochi, the chairman of the Japan Keidanren Federation and the president of Toshiba Corporation of the Mitsui Consortium, once estimated that if Japan helps Huaguo build a steel complex like BG, then Japan's steel industry, machinery manufacturing and related supporting industries will The industry will be driven, and it will probably increase Japan's gross national product by 2%.

  The complete sets of equipment and technologies for raw material input, coking, sintering, ironmaking, steelmaking, and rough rolling of the BG Phase I project were all imported from Nippon Steel of Japan.

This is not the most important thing. The most important thing is that Japan can take advantage of this opportunity to officially enter the steel market in its hometown. If it is operated properly in the later stage, it can even develop BG into its own affiliated enterprise. It is hard to say whether it is a company from my hometown or a company from Mitsui & Co., Ltd.!

  But now everything has changed because of Chu Huan's appearance.

With the support of Chu Huan's funds, Nippon Steel is no longer the only choice for BG. It can buy all kinds of equipment around the world by waving a check, and Nippon Steel's influence on the BG project will be reduced to At the very least, this is what annoyed Mitsui Takacho the most.

  All the layout, due to the appearance of Chu Huan, produced the worst variable!

"Mr. Chu, let's open the window and speak clearly. How do you think about this matter? You should know that if things go on like this, we will inevitably become rivals. At that time, I can guarantee that you will be in Japan." industry, the global steel industry will be devastated!"

  At this time, Mitsui Takacho was already a little out of breath!

  Whether it is the Australian Iron Mine Mountains or the BG in my hometown, they all belong to the strategic plan of Mitsui & Co., but now they are suddenly stolen by Chu Huan. Whoever it is, it will not feel good!

   Even someone like Mitsui Takacho is no exception!

  Chu Huan calmly said: "Mr. Mitsui, if you can't do some things by yourself, don't talk nonsense, otherwise you will be the one who will be ashamed."

Having said that, Chu Huan got up, looked down at Mitsui Takamaga, and continued to speak: "The Japanese business, Mitsui Takamaga couldn't hit it back then, and now you Mitsui Takamaga can't hit it either, the big deal is that everyone will take a shot at that time." Two episodes, but I think if you had the courage, we wouldn't have ended the battle with a cooperative attitude.

  As for the iron ore mountains in Australia, they were originally discovered by our Jiaku, why? Mitsui & Co. is now so domineering that other companies are not allowed to enter the iron mining industry?

  Of course, you can also try to see whether your Mitsui & Co. is stronger in Australia or our Jiaku is stronger in Australia? "

   Is Jiaku more influential in Australia, or is Mitsui & Co. more influential?

In fact, neither Chu Huan nor Mitsui Takamaga can give a definite answer to this matter, but one thing is certain, that is, if a conflict really breaks out between the two sides, the result will definitely not be that one side loses and the other wins, but a disastrous defeat and a victory. A miserable ending.

  At that time, the problem that Mitsui & Co. will face will not be Jiaku, but capital intervention from European and American countries.

   At that time, that scene is definitely not what Mitsui Gaochang wants to see.

  Chu Huan was able to think of this, and Mitsui Takacho naturally could also think of this, so at this time he could only pant heavily, like an angry bull, but he was helpless.

   "Hmph, if we withdraw from the Huaguo BG project, even if you, Director Chu, can support more funds, I don't think the BG project will be successful!"

   Mitsui Takacho can only change the subject at this time!

Chu Huan laughed, and said: "Mr. Mitsui, you can only tell the people of Nippon Steel when negotiating with their hometown. In my case, such words are useless. The relationship between Mitsui and the things that Mitsui did during the war, if this matter spreads in the hometown, then it will not be whether Nippon Steel should cooperate with the hometown, but whether the hometown should cooperate with Nippon Steel Is something wrong?"

Although Nippon Steel is not a member of the Futaki Association of the Mitsui Consortium, in fact, Nippon Steel and Mitsui & Co., Ltd. and other members of the Mitsui Consortium have substantial ties such as mutual shareholding, joint investment, and trade agency, which have formed a symbiosis of interests. relationship, which shows Nippon Steel's status as an "associate member" of the Mitsui consortium.

  The real situation is that Mitsui & Co. owns 20.132% of Nippon Steel Corporation. Nippon Steel Corporation is Nippon Steel's trading company and owns more than 5% of Nippon Steel's equity.

   At the same time, Nippon Steel is also an independent director of Mitsui & Co.

  In terms of steel trade, Mitsui & Co., Ltd. is Nippon Steel's largest steel agency trader, with an average annual agency ratio of more than 35% of Nippon Steel's output.

  In fact, Nippon Steel not only has a relationship with the Mitsui consortium, but also has a similar relationship with the Sumitomo consortium.

In 1999, Mitsui Fudosan, as one of the pillar companies of the Mitsui consortium, obtained the right to operate the headquarters building of the Japanese energy company "Nippon Steel Building"; in 2007, Nippon Steel Sumitomo Metal formed a new joint venture with Sumitomo Corporation and Nippon Steel Corporation The company; in early 2008, Nippon Steel and Sumitomo Corporation each invested approximately US$63 million to acquire 20 million preferred shares of Mitsui Mining from Sumitomo Mitsui Bank, increasing their respective shareholdings to 21.7%.

  Since the financial institutions of the Mitsui and Sumitomo consortiums merged in 2001, Nippon Steel has formed close ties with companies within the Mitsui-Sumitomo consortium system through mutual shareholding and cooperative operations.

   It can be said that just from the operating conditions of Nippon Steel, it can be seen what the concept of Japan Co., Ltd. is like!

  In addition, on the BG project, in fact, Mitsui & Co., not Nippon Steel, was the first to express its cooperation intention. However, because of Mitsui's background in wartime, it led to the failure of Mitsui & Co. to enter this project directly.

   Only then did Nippon Steel intervene!

  In fact, if Chu Huan hadn't appeared, Mitsui & Co. would have fully entered the steel industry in his hometown through the BG project!

   And step by step to master more right to speak.

   Even, at a certain period of time, even BG was called a member of the Mitsui Foundation's Futakikai, because during that period, the person in charge of BG would also attend the Mitsui Foundation's Futakikai meeting.

"As for Nippon Steel's equipment and technology, I don't think Mr. Mitsui thinks that Nippon Steel is the only MTR company in the world, right? North American Steel, Weldon Steel, Wheeling-Pittsburgh MTR, Rouge Industrial companies, AK MTR Corporation, and now people from my North American company are contacting them, and they are very interested in entering the market in their hometown."

After saying all this, Chu Huan looked at Mitsui Gaochang with a smile, and said meaningfully: "Mr. Mitsui, if I were you, what you have to do now is not to blame me, but to talk to you in a friendly manner. I discussed how to make Nippon Steel successfully undertake the BG project!"

   Mitsui Gaochang's complexion changed again, from the anger before, to the panic in his heart now.

Although the BG project has not yet been officially launched, Mitsui & Co., Ltd. has already regarded the subsequent profits as its own company. Now that Chu Huan wants to persuade his hometown to change to another company, if such a situation happens, it will be inevitable. Will affect the pattern of the global steel industry.

   And Mitsui & Co. will gradually lose its position in the steel industry.

   "Mr. Chu, you, don't forget that you are still a shareholder of Mitsui & Co.!" Mitsui Takacho no longer had the arrogance he had just now.

  Chu Huan said relaxedly: "Mr. Mitsui, it is precisely because I am a director of Mitsui & Co., that I am still talking to you calmly in the face of your unfriendly attitude today.

  Did you really think I was going to tell you about these things just now? "

   Mitsui Gaochang's complexion changed slightly, and he asked, "It's not Director Chu, is it?"

Chu Huan said calmly: "Mr. Mitsui, if you think that the steel market in your hometown is inseparable from Nippon Steel, it only shows that you still don't know much about China. In the past two years, your hometown has been in constant contact with overseas Chinese and overseas Chinese. Needless to say, Mr. Mitsui, you should know.

Therefore, those plans of Mitsui & Co., Ltd. are actually known to my hometown. It is true that the current economy of Huaguo is not as good as that of Japan, but I think you can see the development potential of Huaguo, Mr. Mitsui, otherwise Mitsui & Co., Ltd. It would not be so devious and still want to enter the steel market of Huaguo.

   To put it bluntly, both parties get what they need, but you can't be too greedy, otherwise, the opportunities you can see, others can also see, as long as you keep in touch, you can always see and capture them. "

Mitsui Gaochang was fooled by Chu Huan, just looking at Chu Huan's smile, Mitsui Gaochang was still angry, and said: "If it weren't for the financial support of Mr. Chu, and the support of the iron mine, I think We, Mitsui, will never encounter such a situation!"

  Chu Huan said with a smile: "Mr. Mitsui, if you were in my position, would you choose the same strategy as me?"

  Mitsui Takacho: "."

  Chu Huan said with a smile: "Mr. Mitsui, there is no right or wrong in this matter. Each is for its own development. I think we should all be clear about this!"

  Although Mitsui Gaochang understood what Chu Huan meant, the discomfort in his heart continued.

Seeing this, Chu Huan also knew that the persecuting Mitsui Gaochang would be fine, and now that the big stick has fallen, it is time to give a sweet date. Although Chu Huan just said so much, in fact, no matter whether it is Chu Huan at this time or BG Nippon Steel is inseparable.

   Leaving aside the influence of Mitsui & Co. in the steel industry, just talking about technology, equipment, and talents, Nippon Steel provides the cheapest.

   What Chu Huan wants to do is actually change the layout of Mitsui & Nippon Steel in his hometown, but he does not directly reject Nippon Steel's intervention.

  Simply put, now Chu Huan needs Mitsui & Co., Nippon Steel to continue to strengthen Chu Huan's influence in the steel industry.

   When Chu Huan also has the right to have an equal dialogue with Mitsui & Co. in the steel industry, then is the best time to kick Mitsui & Co., Ltd.

  Of course, Mitsui Gaochang must have understood that it is impossible for Chu Huan to withdraw from the steel industry and the BG project at this time, and their plans will definitely change accordingly.

  In the final analysis, everyone should continue to maintain a relationship that is both competition and cooperation!

   "Mr. Mitsui, our Jiaku still approves of the cooperation with Mitsui & Co., so if Mr. Mitsui is interested, our Jiaku can sell 5% of Mitsui & Co.'s shares in Luoshui Mining in Australia!"

   These are the sweet dates that Chu Huan handed over to Mitsui.

  Of course, this sweet date will definitely not be given in vain!

   "Mr. Chu, you probably don't want cash?" Mitsui Gaochang looked at Chu Huan meaningfully.

  Chu Huan nodded, and then said with a smile: "I hope to exchange 5% of Luoshui Mining's shares for 5% of Nippon Steel's shares. As for the price difference, we can use cash to compensate after we calculate it!"

Mitsui Gaochang let go of all the anger in his heart and began to think about this matter. If such cooperation is so, then there is no doubt that Chu Huan's Luoshui Mining will enter the world's steel industry more deeply, but Luoshui Mining's 5 % shares are too tempting!

Before Mitsui Gaochang came to Xiangjiang to meet Chu Huan, he had already sent people to Australia to investigate the iron ore mountain range discovered in Jiaku. The reserves are very amazing. This is only discovered now. Know how many.

   "From now on, the iron and steel industry will probably add Luoshui Mining, a strength that cannot be ignored!" Mitsui Gaochang said meaningfully.

  At this time, he really envied Chu Huan's luck, yes, it was luck!

  If you want to find a vein, it will take many years of exploration before there is a possible result, but now it took Chu Huan less than two years to discover a mountain range with amazing reserves of iron ore.

   Such luck is really unenviable!

  If Chu Huan knew what Mitsui Gaochang was thinking, he would definitely not tell him that this was not luck at all, but what Chu Huan had seen in the mining report in his previous life.

   "So, Mr. Mitsui agrees?" Chu Huan said with a smile.

Mitsui Takahashi did not answer Chu Huan's question, but continued to speak: "Mr. Chu, I think your ambition should not be that of Luoshui Mining in Australia. The BG of Huaguo should be planning to build a mine in Australia." Is it a large steel factory?"

  Chu Huan laughed, and said: "Mr. Mitsui is indeed a smart person, you have already guessed this!"

Mitsui Gaochang said: "A large-scale steel company can't be achieved only by money. It also needs technology, equipment, and talents. Since Director Chu has decided to enter this industry, how about deepening cooperation between us? "

  Chu Huan asked: "Mr. Mitsui wants to take a stake in our Jiaku steel company in Australia?"

   Mitsui Gaochang had already given up at this time and asked Chu Huan to give up the iron ore mountains in Australia and the BG project in Huaguo. In fact, he had already guessed that this was impossible before coming to Xiangjiang.

  The reason why Mitsui Takacho came to Xiangjiang is actually the matter we are talking about now.

  Since there is no way for Chu Huan to leave this industry, he can only join in. Only in this way can Mitsui & Co. be guaranteed to be at the top of the steel industry!

   "That's right, Mr. Chu, you have funds, contacts, and the three shipping companies of Universal, IMC, and Wheelock. We, Mitsui & Co., have technology and equipment. Such a combination can be said to be a match made in heaven!"

   Mitsui Takahata preached seriously.

  Chu Huan was seriously thinking about Mitsui Takachang's suggestion. In fact, Chu Huan knew what Mitsui Takachang was thinking.

  Although neither of them said it clearly, they are well aware of their respective plans.

   What we need to see now is that in this game, if the two sides maintain a delicately balanced attitude, they can find a line that everyone can accept!

Just like what I said just now, although Chu Huan has a lot of cash in his hands and mines in Australia, in the final analysis, Chu Huan is just a rookie in the steel industry. In the process of his development, he needs the help of a time-honored name like Mitsui & Co. of.

   After pondering for a moment, Chu Huan said: "25%, I can only give up 25% of the shares of MTR Corporation, but at the same time, I still don't need cash for the transfer of these shares, but the equivalent shares of Mitsui & Co.!"

   Mitsui Gaochang knew that Chu Huan would definitely agree to his proposal, but he didn't expect that Chu Huan's appetite would be so big, and what he was interested in was the shares of Mitsui & Co., Ltd.

As the core industry of the Mitsui Consortium, Mitsui & Co. had previously exchanged 5% of the shares with Chu Huan for the establishment of the Xiangjiang Branch of Alder Commercial Bank. Now Chu Huan still wants the shares of Mitsui & Co., Ltd. If this continues, Maybe at some point, Chu Huan will become the largest shareholder of Mitsui & Co.!

   "It's impossible!" Mitsui Gaochang immediately rejected Chu Huan's request, "I can transfer the shares of some affiliated companies of the Mitsui Consortium, but the shares of Mitsui & Co., Ltd. are absolutely impossible!"

  Faced with the refusal of Mitsui Gaochang, Chu Huan was not surprised, and said with a smile: "Mr. Mitsui, if Mitsui & Co., Ltd. can't do it, I hope to get some shares of Toyota, Sakura Bank and Sony!"

  Sony is not actually a member of the Futakikai of the Mitsui Consortium, but Sony still received financial support from the Mitsui Consortium in the initial stage of development, and the Mitsui Consortium also has a large share in Sony.

  As for Toyota and Sakura Bank, they are all members of the Futakikai of the Mitsui Consortium, and the Mitsui Consortium naturally has a lot of shares in these two companies!

   Mitsui Takamaga showed embarrassment, obviously he was also unwilling to this result.

  Chu Huan said: "Mr. Mitsui, if you don't even agree to this condition, then I don't think we have anything to talk about!"

Mitsui Gaochang said in a deep voice: "Sony's shares are not allowed, and the other two shares are allowed, but each company cannot exceed 5%. If you disagree, Mr. Chu, then we can only go to war, as you said Like what I said, it's a big deal to shoot and break up!"

It's ridiculous to say that both Chu Huan and Mitsui Takacho knew that it was impossible for the two parties to break up, but they both expressed their attitudes now, in order to express their own attitudes. , and then achieve the goal of allowing both parties to obtain more benefits in this negotiation!

Chu Huan pondered for a moment, and said helplessly: "Forget it, Mr. Mitsui, you come here in person today, and I will give you some face no matter what. I don't need the shares of Sony, and I can just keep the shares of Toyota and Sakura Bank." At 5%, but I want to exchange the remaining shares for shares of Mitsui Chemicals, but I think Mr. Mitsui will definitely not give too much shares of Mitsui Chemicals, so I have another request, that is, in the next two years Within three years, Mitsui Chemicals will help our Jiaku cultivate some talents in this field!"

   Mitsui Gaochang was not happy because Chu Huan's request was lowered, but more to make him vigilant.

   The first possibility Mitsui Takacho thought of was that Chu Huan wanted to enter the field of chemistry.

  Nowadays, only the iron and steel industry has made me extremely passive. What if Chu Huan enters the chemical field again?

   "If Mr. Mitsui doesn't even agree to this matter, then let's break it up!" Seeing Mitsui's hesitation, Chu Huan also said the same thing.

   "Okay, I promise you!" After thinking for a long time, Mitsui Gaochang finally agreed to Chu Huan's request, because the interests of Luoshui Mining and the Australian steel company were too tempting.

  The most important thing is that Mitsui Takacho cannot give up Huaguo's BG project.

   Seeing that Mitsui Gaochang agreed to his request, Chu Huan's hanging heart finally fell. The real purpose of Mitsui Gaochang coming to Xiangjiang was to enter Luoshui Mining and become a shareholder of Jiaku's steel company in Australia.

   And Chu Huan waited for Mitsui Takacho to come, in fact, for the shares and technical support of Mitsui Chemicals he was talking about!

   This involves an important investment for Chu Huan in his future hometown, and as long as this investment is successfully completed, the influence it will bring will be an order of magnitude change, and the profit it will bring will also be an astronomical figure.

   It is not even weaker than Chu Huan's many properties in Xiangjiang, and the annual rent during the peak period of Xiangjiang real estate.

  That's a profit of hundreds of billions of Hong Kong dollars!

Per year!

  But this plan is too big, and Chu Huan needs to proceed carefully step by step.

   "Haha, since this is the case, then there is no conflict between us. I hope that there will be more and more cooperation with the Mitsui Consortium in the future!" Chu Huan said with a smile.

  Mitsui Gaochang smiled wryly: "I would rather not cooperate with you, Mr. Chu!"

   Without Chu Huan, these projects would actually belong to Mitsui & Co., and it was because of Chu Huan's appearance that Mitsui & Co. lost the industry and profits that should belong to them. That's why Takashi Mitsui said so!

  Of course, it is impossible for Mitsui Gaochang to know that these industries should belong to them, but in Mitsui Gaochang's view, there is a great chance that these industries will be theirs without Chu Huan!

   "Mr. Mitsui, what you say is affecting our cooperative relationship!" Chu Huan joked in a good mood.

  Mitsui Gaochang asked: "Mr. Chu, although we have reached a consensus now, what about the companies you mentioned before?"

  Chu Huan asked: "What company did I just say?"

  Mitsui Takacho: "."

   "How about a drink to celebrate the success of our cooperation?" Chu Huan had already got up and poured down twice the whiskey.

  Mitsui Takamaga raised his glass with a complicated expression and said: "I wish the future steel tycoon!"

  Ps: Recommend a friend's book, the old author, the quality is still guaranteed, "America: I am the Wall Street Bull"

   The Roaring 80s. It was an era in which European and American actresses were in full bloom.

   The typo was corrected first and then corrected. Some things were delayed in the afternoon. Also, Huangshan continued to code~~
