Chapter 439 The top scene (7K chapter, please subscribe~)
October 10, sunny!
Heung Kong, Tsim Sha Tsui, Mody Road, competing commercial center!
"what time is it?"
Yang Jianye of "Oriental Daily" was holding a camera at this time, with his apprentice Tang Kaimin beside him. At the same time, in front of their eyes was a long corridor paved with red carpet. Journalists for newspapers, TV stations, and radio stations.
At the same time, there are security guards responsible for the order of the scene.
The most advantageous positions are reporters from "Zhenbao", "Daily Daily" and TVB TV station.
Looking at their position and being able to interview the guests who came today at the first time, Yang Jianye was so envious that his liver ached.
"It's just eight o'clock, and there are still two hours before the groundbreaking ceremony at 10 o'clock!"
Tang Kaimin said excitedly that they didn't interview Chu Huan when the auction of the land was over at the Peninsula Hotel last time, which made Tang Kaimin very disappointed.
"Master, do you think we can interview Chu Huan today?"
"What are you thinking, little girl? I'm sure whether Chu Huan will come today!" Standing next to the position of "Oriental Daily" was a reporter from "Sing Tao Daily", who was joking with Tang Kaimin at this time.
Regarding today's foundation laying ceremony of Zhulu Commercial Center, the outside world still doesn't know whether Chu Huan will participate in it or not!
"It will definitely be, how could Chu Huan not participate in such an important project!"
Tang Kaimin preached very firmly.
Everyone did not refute Tang Kaimin's statement this time. As Tang Kaimin said, how could it be possible that Chu Huan did not come to such a large project?
"Look, there's a car coming!"
While everyone was discussing, a car suddenly appeared at the entrance of the groundbreaking ceremony.
"Those who don't know will think that you are planning an award ceremony!"
Chu Huan, who was dressed in a black suit, got out of the car, and after seeing the situation at the scene, he preached helplessly.
Standing in front of the car, Lu Qi handed the engineering hat to Chu Huan, and said with a smile: "Chairman, we didn't deliberately make such a high profile, but only this scale can be worthy of our project. "
Chu Huan smiled at this, and asked: "Are you ready for the reception later?"
Lu Qi immediately said: "Chairman, don't worry, I guarantee that everything will be completed beautifully!"
"Mr. Chu"
"Chairman Chu."
Chu Huan, He Bingguang, Lu Qi and others walked towards the center of the stage while talking about today's groundbreaking ceremony. The reporters on both sides naturally hoped to take this opportunity to interview Chu Huan, but let them Disappointed, Chu Huan, as before, did not intend to accept an interview at all, but just walked to the stage to communicate with He Bingguang, Lu Qi and others.
Seeing Chu Huan walking straight in front of her eyes, Tang Kaimin showed a disappointed expression.
Yang Jianye watched from the side, and comforted softly: "It's not bad. At least Chu Huan can appear here today. It's already a very good thing. You need to know his current situation, but he doesn't come out often!"
Hearing his master's comfort, Tang Kaimin felt a little better.
"Okay, let's concentrate on work. Since Chu Huan has appeared here, there will definitely be a lot of big shots here today. The only worry now is whether we have enough papers to hand in!"
Yang Jianye preached with experience.
After Yang Jianye’s reminder, the reporters at the scene cheered up. As Yang Jianye said, Chu Huan, who has been keeping a low profile for the past two years, has appeared here. Obviously, the size of today’s groundbreaking ceremony will not be too small.
"Do you think Governor MacLehose will come?"
A reporter at the scene suddenly asked in a low voice.
"It's hard to say!" A reporter said uncertainly: "If it is a public project, the Governor of Hong Kong, MacLehose, will definitely come, but now the Zhulu Commercial Center is obviously a private project, and the Governor of Hong Kong will probably not come! "
"Even if the Governor of Hong Kong cannot come, I think the Secretary of State and the Secretary of Finance will definitely come!"
"According to common sense, it should be like this, but everyone, don't forget that Chu Huan is from Hong Kong, not a British capital. He just defeated HSBC and the four major foreign companies. Maybe today the Hong Kong government is a small Two or three cats!"
The reporters on the scene began to discuss the upcoming guests. This situation is the same as when the movie "The Founding of a Country" was released in later generations. The audience sitting in the cinema was ready to count the stars.
Soon, two cars came to the scene together.
"Look, Sun Hung Kai Guo Desheng's car!" A reporter immediately recognized the car's identity.
Sure enough, the back door of the car was opened, and 64-year-old Guo Desheng came out of the car, but it was not Guo Bingxiang who got out of the car with Guo Desheng, but Guo Bingjiang, who was not well-known in Xiangjiang.
"Why is it Guo Bingjiang, not Guo Bingxiang? Is it true that Guo Bingxiang has fallen out of favor in the Guo family because of Li Tianying's affairs, as rumored by the outside world?"
A reporter saw that it was Guo Bingjiang who got off the car with Guo Desheng, and was a little curious.
Soon, this curiosity disappeared, because in the car behind, Guo Bingjiang got out of the car together with his fiancée Li Tianying.
Then, under the leadership of Xu Yi, the father and son of the Guo family and Li Tianying, the woman who was about to marry into the Guo family, walked to the stage together.
"Why did Uncle Guo come here in person? Let Bingxiang and Bingjiang come over!"
Chu Huan greeted him personally, speaking with a smile on his face.
Guo Desheng laughed, joked with Chu Huan, and said, "Why are you still not satisfied with me coming here in person?"
Chu Huan said with a smile: "It's too late to be happy, I haven't thanked Uncle Guo properly for the previous things."
Chu Huan was talking about the acquisition of Qingzhou Yingni.
Guo Desheng patted Chu Huan on the shoulder, and said happily: "Good job, with your start, the life of the foreign consortia behind will be difficult!"
The successful acquisition of Qingzhou Yingni by Chinese Real Estate Group set a precedent for Chinese businessmen to take the initiative to acquire a foreign consortium. After this incident, many Chinese businessmen will surely follow suit.
Chu Huan said: "In our Hua country, there is nothing to say about the acquisition of foreign consortiums."
Guo Desheng nodded and said, "That's right, but you should be busy first. Let's have a good chat after today's business is over."
Chu Huan nodded, now is indeed not the occasion for serious discussions.
At this time, Zheng Yutong and Zheng Jiachun, father and son, had arrived at the scene.
Chu Huan naturally wanted to go forward and continue the greetings.
Then there are Feng Jingxi, Feng Yongfa, Feng Yongxiang and his son.
Feng Yongxiang is also back in Canada at this time, Feng Jingxi smiled and said to Chu Huan: "A Huan, Yongxiang just returned to Xiangjiang, there will definitely be many things that need to trouble you in the future, you should take care of them!"
"A Huan, I'll leave it to you in the future!" Feng Yongxiang, as Feng Jingxi's second son, later succeeded Feng Yongfa as the chairman of Sun Hung Kai Securities.
It was not the first time Chu Huan met Feng Yongxiang, and he smiled and said, "Tony, you are too polite. This time you came back from Canada, and you didn't call in advance. Why, are you afraid that we will let you treat me?"
Feng Yongxiang laughed, and said: "A Huan, you just bought Qingzhou Yingni, and now you are about to start construction of the largest commercial circle in Xiangjiang. It should be your treat, right?"
"Thomas, your younger brother is better than you at settling accounts!" Chu Huan and Feng Yongfa joked.
The four of them joked, and Feng Jingxi took his two sons to chat with his friends.
"Director Chu, I couldn't help you last time, I hope you don't take offense!"
The Three Musketeers of Sun Hung Kai, Guo Desheng, Feng Jingxi, and Li Zhaoji, arrived at the scene one after another. The last one was Li Zhaoji. Chinese businessmen act to raise funds for Chu Huan.
Li Zhaoji did not make a move, at this time Li Zhaoji was talking to Chu Huan about it.
Chu Huan said with a smile: "Li Sheng is too polite, Henderson Land is now at a critical moment for development, as long as you have the heart!"
"How long has it been since I saw the Three Musketeers of Sun Hung Kai attend an event together?" Yang Jianye from a distance saw Guo Desheng, Feng Jingxi, and Li Zhaoji who were chatting with Chu Huan, and spoke with some emotion.
Tang Kaimin said excitedly: "Master, don't sigh, look, the Kadoorie father and son of the Grand Hotel Group are also here, they are the first British people to come to the scene!"
At this time, Lao Kadoorie and Michael Kadoorie, father and son, have also arrived at the scene.
The identities of the two are somewhat special. Although the Kadoorie family business is all in Xiangjiang, they are British after all. Now they come to the scene, and the meaning is obviously different.
For ordinary people in Xiangjiang, the Kadoorie family may be worse than the four foreign firms in Xiangjiang, but for everyone at the scene, whether they are the rich or the reporters at the scene, they all understand that the reason why the Kadoorie family is better than The fame of the four major foreign firms is not because their business scale is smaller than that of the four major foreign firms, but purely because the Kadoorie family is more low-key.
"Ah Huan, congratulations, congratulations, after the foundation of Zhulu Commercial Center is laid, Zhulu Real Estate will become the No. 1 real estate company in Xiangjiang!"
Old Kadoorie smiled and shook hands with Chu Huan.
Chu Huan said modestly: "Uncle Kadoorie, the First Real Estate Company dare not talk about it, and will need a lot of help from Uncle Kadoorie's Huadian in the future!"
As the largest and only power company in Hong Kong, Huadian Electric Power Co., Ltd., as an infrastructure, any real estate cannot do without the support of the power company, which is why Cheung Kong later acquired HK Electric.
Old Kadoorie said with a smile: "I am old, and the future of Xiangjiang will be dominated by your young people. If you have any cooperation in the future, you can just talk to Mi Gao. I believe that you young people must have a lot of common topics. of!"
Chu Huan said: "I still need Uncle Kadoorie, you veterans in the business world, to give you a lot of advice."
"You guys chatted so happily, maybe there are some other projects you want to work on together?"
While Chu Huan was exchanging greetings with Lao Kadoorie, Tang Jiqian and Tang Yunian from Nanhai Textile also came to the scene.
"Even if there is cooperation, Mr. Tang's Nanhai Real Estate will definitely be indispensable!"
Tang Jiqian finally set his business sights on the real estate industry this year and prepared to build Nanhai Real Estate.
"Ah Huan, when the busy time is over, let's sit down for a while. Everyone knew you were busy before and didn't go to you, but you should have nothing to do later, right?"
Tang Yunian happily preached to Chu Huan.
Mi Gao Jiali also said beside him: "That's right, the acquisition of Qingzhou Yingni is such a big happy event, it means that everything should be celebrated properly."
Seeing these younger generations, because of the appearance of Chu Huan, the relationship between them became more and more harmonious. Old Kadoorie and Tang Jiqian looked at each other and smiled, and left Chu Huan's side to chat with their old friends. Gave it to Chu Huan and the others.
Chu Huan said with a smile: "We must celebrate. I have already discussed with Brother Zhao. After the busy days, let's go to Tokyo together and celebrate for a few days!"
Chu Huan did not choose to celebrate in Xiangjiang, one is to keep a low profile, and the other is that Chu Huan also hopes that these people can go to Tokyo to see the Huahai Real Estate they are cooperating with there.
"Yes, I have already called Nozaki Kosuke, let me tell you, this Nozaki Kosuke is definitely a talent, and I will definitely not let you down by then!"
Zhao Congyan, Zhao Shizeng, father and son also came to the scene at this time, probably because they knew that their sons were not easy-going, so Zhao Congyan only brought Zhao Shizeng, the son who had the best relationship with Chu Huan, over here.
"Uncle Zhao!"
Chu Huan greeted Zhao Congyan with a smile.
Zhao Congyan praised: "Old Cao has found a good son-in-law, A Huan, are you interested in entering the shipping industry, Huaguang Shipping can cooperate with you!"
Chu Huan smiled wryly and said: "These things now have made me a little bit burnt out, let's talk about the shipping industry when I have a chance in the future!"
Chu Huan hasn't really made up his mind about whether he wants to enter the shipping industry, so now he can only answer Zhao Congyan in this way.
Zhao Congyan didn't think much about it, and said: "Then let's talk about it in detail after you think about it!"
"no problem!"
"There have been rumors before that these people are Chu Huan's closest partners in Xiangjiang. Now it seems that it is true, and they all came here at the first time!"
Yang Jianye saw Hu Yingxiang, the chairman of Hopewell Real Estate who just got off the car, preaching in admiration.
Tang Kaimin didn't care much and said: "There is nothing to be curious about if they can come, and it will be strange if they don't come. But master, do you think Emperor Huo Tsar will come today?"
Although there is no formal cooperation between Chu Huan and Huo Tsar, the relationship with Huo Zhenting has always been good, and the whole Xiangjiang knows this.
Yang Jianye thought for a while, shook his head, and said: "I probably won't come here, how long has Huo Tsar been here?"
Halfway through the conversation, Yang Jianye couldn't continue, because Huo Tsar came, and not only Huo Tsar, but Huo Tsar's eldest son Huo Zhenting also followed.
"That was an unimportant event in the past. For an event like today, Huo Tsar will definitely appear!" Yang Jianye changed his words and called it a natural flow.
Tang Kaimin didn't answer, but just picked up the camera and kept taking pictures of Tsar Huo.
"Uncle Huo, welcome, very welcome!" Chu Huan took the initiative to take two steps to meet Huo Tsar, and first stretched out his hand and smiled.
Emperor Huo Tsar smiled heartily: "It's such a happy day, of course I'm going to come over and say congratulations to you, A Huan!"
"Ah Huan, you don't know, Daddy was very happy when he saw the report on TV two days ago!" Huo Zhenting said to Chu Huan with a smile beside him.
Chu Huan said modestly: "Compared with your achievements, Uncle Ho, these are nothing!"
Huo Tsar said without hesitation: "You can't say that, I was able to do it because of the support of my hometown, and this time the acquisition of Qingzhou Yingni is A Huan's own ability, I believe that in the future you will His achievements will definitely far exceed those of us old guys!"
At this time in Xiangjiang, the only one who can unabashedly explain the relationship with his hometown is Huo Tsar.
Chu Huan said earnestly: "Uncle Huo's dedication is obvious to all. Things are mutual. Because of Uncle Huo's previous dedication, we have the present harvest!"
Huo Tsar nodded slightly and said: "A Huan, although the situation in my hometown is still a bit complicated, I believe that sooner or later it will get back on track."
Chu Huan nodded and said, "I think so too."
Hearing Chu Huan's reply, Emperor Huo Tsar became happier and said with a smile: "Let's have a good chat when we have time!"
Chu Huan naturally has no objection. Huo Tsar is the most valued businessman in his hometown in Xiangjiang. In the future, Chu Huan also hopes to return to his hometown with Huo Tsar.
"Look, Qi Dezun from Hehe International is here!"
Just when Chu Huan was exchanging greetings with Huo Tsar, the reporters on the scene had some commotion. If the people who came before were distinguished in Xiangjiang, but they did not surprise everyone at the scene, Qi Dezun who came now would let everyone They were a little surprised.
Before, Huaren Real Estate and Hefu just fought in Xiangjiang because of the competition for Qingzhou Yingni. As one of the shareholders of Hefu, Hehe International is also Chu Huan's enemy. Now they are here to congratulate in person. The meaning is different.
"Is this convincing?"
Yang Jianye murmured?
"It's not enough to be defeated. Hasn't Chinese Land and Hefu reached a consensus to manage Qingzhou Yingni together? They were rivals before, but now they are partners. It is understandable to come here!"
Tang Kaimin analyzed.
Yang Jianye chuckled and said, "Amin, you are still too young. Can you believe their statement? It is obvious that Chu Huan saved face for them. In my opinion, the battle for the management rights of Qingzhou Yingni will definitely be in the future. There will be no less, as for Qi Dezun's coming, it may be more because of the previous cooperation with Jiaku."
Hehe International hired Jiaku to reform the management, and Xiangjiang's media also knew about it.
"Then Master, you mean that those other companies will not come!"
"That's for sure. It's impossible not to come!" Yang Jianye saw the car of Taikoo Shi Huaiya also coming to the scene, and smiled awkwardly: "Now they are partners after all, even if there is a fight, it is a fight in the dark , on the bright side, it is definitely necessary to make an appearance of hello, me, and everyone."
Tang Kaimin preached in admiration: "Master, you see clearly!"
"That's right, just watch. People from Jardine will come when we meet Defeng later!" Yang Jianye wiped the sweat from his forehead.
"Master, are you hot?" Tang Kaimin asked with concern.
Yang Jianye nodded and said, "This **** weather is really hot!"
"But it's already October now," Tang Kaimin whispered.
"hehe."
As Yang Jianye expected, John Madden from Wheelock and Niu Bijian from Jardine also arrived at the scene soon.
"Mr. Chu, Qingzhou Yingni's acquisition is now over. I think we should also hold a shareholders' meeting to agree on a new board of directors?"
Niu Bijian first congratulated Chu Huan on the foundation stone laying ceremony of Zhulu Commercial Center, and then told Chu Huan about Qingzhou Yingni.
Chu Huan nodded indifferently and said: "Of course it is possible. We Huaren Real Estate also hope that we can continue to develop with Qingzhou Yingni as soon as possible!"
Niu Bijian looked a little embarrassed. He just proposed to hold a general meeting of shareholders to renegotiate a new board of directors. It's just that Jardine wants to declare his sovereignty in this matter.
Said to Chu Huan that although you are now the largest shareholder of Qingzhou Yingni, we are also the second largest shareholder.
As a result, Chu Huan pointedly said that Qingzhou Yingni should be developed as soon as possible, and its purpose is self-evidently to expand Qingzhou Yingni. Shi Huaiya of Taikoo has already said that after the battle of Qingzhou Yingni After that, the four major foreign firms temporarily lost the strength to continue to expand with Qingzhou Yingni.
This made Niu Bijian a little embarrassed.
John Madden on the side smiled and said: "Isn't there an old saying in Huaguo that everything is foregone, and if you don't forewarn, you will lose it. I think it should be done first to stabilize the interior of Qingzhou Yingni!"
With the support of John Madden, Niu Bijian became more confident and said: "What John means is also what I want to say."
Chu Huan chuckled and said: "Qingzhou Yingni's largest shareholders are Huaren Real Estate and Hefu. As long as our two companies work together, there will be no internal problems. On the contrary, there are external problems. I think it is more urgent. The board of directors of those cement factories guessed something, which is not good!"
John Madden glanced at Chu Huan suspiciously, and couldn't help saying: "Director Chu, do you still have cash in your hand?"
If he wants to continue the expansion of Qingzhou Yingni, he must spend more cash. After the battle of Qingzhou Yingni, John Madden does not think that Chu Huan has any remaining funds.
"I think Mr. Chu exists!"
Right after John Madden finished his question, HSBC's Daban Shaya brought HSBC's general manager Shen Bi and loan manager Roy Bentley to the scene.
Yang Jianye in the distance saw this situation and wiped his sweat secretly again. Fortunately, he didn't set the flag in advance this time, otherwise it would be another instant slap in the face.
"Even the big class from HSBC is here. Master, you said that the Governor of Hong Kong, MacLehose, won't really come here?" Tang Kaimin asked Yang Jianye again after taking the photo.
Yang Jianye said in embarrassment: "Impossible to come!"
Thinking of being slapped in the face several times before, Yang Jianye no longer dared to be sure about anything.
On the other side, after hearing what Sha Ya said, Niu Bijian and John Madden were slightly taken aback, not understanding why Sha Ya said that.
It is wrong to face two people, it is four people, because Qi Dezun and Shi Huaiya who have not left have been added!
Sha Ya first looked at Chu Huan and asked, "Ah Huan, can I talk about this matter?"
Chu Huan didn't understand what Sha Ya knew, so he could only smile and say, "There's nothing you have to tell people, of course it's fine!"
Sha Ya glanced at Chu Huan meaningfully, and then said with a smile: "Two days ago, I had dinner with Tadashi Mori from the Xiangjiang Sumitomo Bank Office, and I found out that President Chu had a loan of 100 million U.S. dollars from Sumitomo Bank, and I also knew , A Huan, Mr. Hota Shozo and Mr. Ichiro Isoda of Sumitomo Bank are very good friends, I think if according to A Huan's current strength, if he wants to get a loan from Sumitomo Bank, there should be no problem!"
Niu Bijian, John Madden, Shi Huaiya, and Qi Dezun all showed stunned expressions. At this moment, they finally guessed how the cash in Chu Huan's hand came from.
It turned out that Sumitomo Bank in Japan was found.
It’s just that if this is the case, Chu Huan will pay more than 300 million in interest every year just to pay the interest. Just when they wanted to say that the interest is a bit high, they thought of the profit of the Fantasy Comics Club!
Suddenly there is a feeling of helplessness.
Especially the three of Newbikin, John Madden, and Swire are even more regretful, missing the best opportunity!
If I have a business like Fantasy Comic Club, I definitely won’t care about the interest!
Thinking of this, these people want to invest in Fantasy Comic Club even more.
At this time, after listening to Sha Ya's words, Chu Huan also breathed a sigh of relief, knowing what he wanted to let them know, which is very good, but although Chu Huan wanted to let these people know about this matter, Thinking that Mori Tadaharu actually told Sha Ya about his situation, Chu Huan still wanted to tell Horita Shozo and Ichiro Isoda about it.
If this Mori Tadashi tells HSBC about his more cooperation with Sumitomo Bank in the future, wouldn’t there be no secrets.
"Master, look quickly, the car from the Hong Kong government is coming!"
Tang Kaimin has been paying attention to the location of the entrance of the red carpet, wanting to see the biggest question today, who is the Hong Kong government going to send to congratulate this event.
Now the answer is finally revealed!
Yang Jianye also quickly shifted his gaze from Chu Huan to the entrance of the red carpet.
At the same time, all the reporters on both sides of the red carpet also made the same actions as Yang Jianye at this time, and even pointed their cameras at that side.
Financial Secretary Xia Dingji, there is no accident. According to Chu Huan's status in Xiangjiang at this time, Xia Dingji should come to congratulate him.
Countertaining Secretary Luo Pishi, it is understandable. It is rumored that Chu Huan will enter the Executive Council to become an unofficial member at the end of this year. It is understandable for Luo Pishi to come here!
Soon, the third person got out of the car!
Hong Kong Governor MacLehose got out of the car with a smile on his face.
"It's really here!" Even though Yang Jianye saw a real person, he still didn't believe it. In the past, MacLehose rarely participated in such activities.
"This time, we have gathered all the celebrities from the political and business circles of Xiangjiang!"
Yang Jianye couldn't help sighing.
"Master, don't sigh, hurry up and take a picture!" Tang Kaimin said excitedly.
"Yes, take pictures!" Yang Jianye hurriedly said: "I always feel that Chu Huan has made the headlines of Xiangjiang media during this time!"
Tang Kaimin thought for a while, then nodded seriously.
When Chu Huan saw MacLehose approaching, he immediately stepped forward to shake hands and say hello. The two sides did not say anything substantive, but with the arrival of MacLehose, it was time for the official foundation laying of the Zhulu Commercial Center.
MacLehose, as the person with the most distinguished status in name on site, dug the first shovel of soil, heralding the official start of construction of Zhulu Commercial Center!
Also, Huangshan continues to code words~~
