  The morning sun shines into Chu Huan's office. Zheng Mengxian, the future helm of South Korea's Hyundai Group, has arrived here and is explaining their ideas to Chu Huan.

   "Mr. Chu, in fact, there are a lot of raw materials that we can bring over from South Korea. Even with the shipping cost, they are cheaper than those from Xiangjiang.

According to our preliminary estimates, the reconstruction of the entire HSBC Building is at least a project of 5 billion Hong Kong dollars. Such a huge project is only for the raw materials. Director Chu’s company has already made hundreds of millions of profits. I also hope that Director Chu You can give us Hyundai some profit margins. "

With a smile on his face, Chu Huan said relaxedly: "Mr. Zheng, I think you have misunderstood this matter. The construction company selected for the reconstruction of the HSBC Building is determined by HSBC, not us. The supply of raw materials is also Your father agreed to it at the beginning, but now, Mr. Zheng, you seem to be saying it.

  Our bank A can make the decision for HSBC, and the conditions we negotiated at the beginning were harsh conditions that we deliberately added! "

   "Director Chu misunderstood, we definitely didn't mean that!" Zheng Mengxian quickly denied.

   If you don’t come to Xiangjiang, you really don’t know Chu Huan’s influence in Xiangjiang.

  After Zheng Mengxian arrived in Xiangjiang, he immediately began to seriously investigate Chu Huan's influence in Xiangjiang, and the results he obtained surprised Zheng Mengxian.

  Because Zheng Mengxian discovered that as long as you live in Xiangjiang, then you cannot live without Chu Huan!

  Chu Huan's industry in Xiangjiang covers almost all aspects of basic necessities of life.

  The Yunhai convenience stores all over the streets, the supermarkets that teachers and grandmothers are willing to go to, the clothes that ordinary people wear, the houses they live in, the buses they take when they travel, electricity, etc., almost all have Chu Huan's industry.

Of course, these things actually have nothing to do with Zheng Mengxian. Let’s just talk about the tendering of the HSBC Building. Although the Gonghe Building and Jinmen Building under the Jiaku Group have not announced their bids, they are still far away from the bidding registration date of the HSBC Building. not end yet.

  If these two construction companies announce their bids, they will definitely be the strongest contenders.

   More importantly, no matter which construction company wins the bid, it will be inseparable from Jiaku.

The reason why Zheng Mengxian proposed to Chu Huan to change the supply of some raw materials was actually thinking about the timber. They directly purchased Dongming Timber’s timber in South Korea, and then shipped it to Xiangjiang. batch of raw materials.

   After all, Chu Huan's armory has increased profits.

  But apart from this point, Hyundai Group actually needs to purchase other raw materials from Jiaku, especially the two major items of steel and cement.

After Wheelock Shipping reorganized Wheelock Steel, it has almost monopolized the steel market in Xiangjiang. Although this is a newly reorganized group, they rely on Japanese steel factories and can get the cheapest steel. Coupled with their dismantling of some scrapped ships, and Jiaku's monopoly on the Xiangjiang real estate industry.

   All of this has allowed Wheelock Steel to win nearly 70% of the Xiangjiang steel market in just one year.

  The remaining steel companies that can survive can only survive by seeking shares from Wheelock Steel.

  Let’s talk about the cement issue. Qingzhou Yingni has completed the monopoly of the Xiangjiang cement market many years ago.

   Without the supply of these two raw materials, no construction company can complete construction tasks in Xiangjiang.

  So Zheng Mengxian didn't dare to offend Chu Huan at all. If they offended Chu Huan, they might be able to win the project, but there was absolutely no way to carry it out smoothly.

  But Zheng Mengxian must gain some benefits in this negotiation, at least he must hold the raw materials of the wood in his own hands.

  No way, Hyundai Group really values ​​this project too much. It is precisely because Hyundai Group values ​​this project that Zheng Mengxian must strive for more benefits for the group in this project.

   Zheng Zhouyong handed over the project to Zheng Mengxian this time. In fact, there are still many criticisms within the Hyundai Group. Zheng Mengjiu is the second son of Zheng Zhouyong. After the death of the eldest son, Zheng Mengjiu is already equivalent to the heir apparent of the Hyundai Group.

  As the crown prince, how could he not have his own influence in the modern group!

   Otherwise, before Zheng Zhouyong died, Zheng Mengjiu had already dared to seize power in the hands of Zheng Mengxian!

  Therefore, Zheng Mengxian must perform well in this project and strive to gain more support within the group.

"Mr. Chu, we had a very pleasant meeting when we were in Seoul. I am also very grateful to Mr. Chu for your support. In the face of Mr. Chu, I don't have to hide it now. This time I bid for the HSBC Building This matter is actually very important to me, and I hope that you, Director Chu, can continue to support my development, and Mengxian will never forget your support from Director Chu in the future!"

  When he was in Seoul, Chu Huan had a secret meeting with Zheng Mengxian for the purpose of bidding for the HSBC Building in Xiangjiang.

   At that time, Chu Huan recommended Zheng Mengjiu to be in charge of this matter in front of Zheng Zhouyong, but then he met Zheng Mengxian in secret, saying that only by doing this, Zheng Mengxian could get this opportunity.

  The subsequent result was indeed like this, which even made Zheng Mengxian, who had always been loyal to his father, not tell his father about this matter.

   Now, Zheng Mengxian hopes to get Chu Huan's support again.

  After Chu Huan finished listening, he said with a smile: "Mr. Zheng, since you have said so, if I refuse again, it will indeed hurt the relationship between you and me a little bit!"

  Hearing what Chu Huan said, Zheng Mengxian immediately showed a happy expression, but Chu Huan preached immediately.

   "But Mr. Zheng, if I agree to your request, it will be harming my own interests, so if Mr. Zheng wants to get my help, he will have to pay a price!"

  Zheng Mengxian nodded and said: "Mr. Chu, please tell me, as long as I can do it, I will definitely satisfy you, Mr. Chu!"

Chu Huan smiled, and said: "I know that the year before last, your father transferred part of the shares of Hyundai Heavy Industries to Mr. Zheng, and now we want to buy 2.7% of Hyundai Heavy Industries from Mr. Zheng through cash transactions. These shares are only a part of Mr. Zheng's shares, and will not affect the Zheng family's control over Hyundai Heavy Industries. I wonder what Mr. Zheng wants?"

  Hyundai Heavy Industries is one of the important assets of Hyundai Group.

  After Chung Joo-young passed away, Hyundai Group was split into three companies. Chung Mong-heon retained the parent company of Hyundai Group, Chung Mong-koo took Hyundai Motor, and Chung Mong-joon took Hyundai Heavy Industries.

   But that will happen later, the entire Hyundai Group is actually still in the hands of Zheng Zhouyong.

   It's just that after the later stage, Zheng Zhouyong also discovered that Zheng Mengxian was not capable of taming his brothers at all.

  So when the Prince Rebellion broke out in Hyundai Group, Zheng Zhouyong re-distributed the equity in order to balance the rights of them. Under such circumstances, Zheng Mengzhun obtained more shares in Hyundai Heavy Industries.

   But that's all for the future. Now that Zheng Mengxian is Zheng Zhouyong's favorite son, Zheng Zhouyong still gave him more shares in the group company.

"this"

  Chu Huan's suggestion made Zheng Mengxian not know how to answer for a while. He definitely didn't want to give up the shares of Hyundai Heavy Industries. After all, this share is for long-term development, and the project of HSBC Building is just a one-off deal!

  Purely from an economic point of view, this is an asymmetric transaction.

  However, it is impossible to only look at this point in everything.

  Now the entire Hyundai Group knows that their bid for the HSBC Building in Xiangjiang was supported by Chu Huan.

  The project in Xiangjiang has been supported by Chu Huan, which actually means that the probability of success of this project has exceeded 50%.

  The remaining possibility depends on Zheng Mengxian's ability!

  As I just said, Chung Mong-heon is going to rely on this project to appear in front of many shareholders within Hyundai Group.

   If this project is not done well, then even with the support of Zheng Zhouyong, it is impossible for Zheng Monghun to get more support from Hyundai Group.

"Mr. Zheng, you don't have to worry. I can assure you that as long as you are here, our shares in Hyundai Heavy Industries will be used to support you. I am just personally very optimistic about the future development of Hyundai Heavy Industries, so there is such a idea."

  Chu Huan saw Zheng Mengxian's hesitation, so he smiled and preached.

Zheng Mengxian is still considering Chu Huan's suggestion. This is a difficult decision. Although Chu Huan gave his own guarantee, he sold the shares of Hyundai Heavy Industries in private. If this kind of thing is known by people inside the group, That would be a very important matter, and his reputation would also be implicated.

Seeing this, Chu Huan gave the final condition: "If Mr. Zheng agrees, I can make the decision. If Hyundai Group can really get the reconstruction project of HSBC Building in the future, our company can give you 90% of the price of steel and cement." discounted price!"

   As I have said before, the project to rebuild the HSBC Building is actually a test of Hyundai Group's Chung Mong-hun's ability.

  The more he benefits from this project, the higher Zheng Mongxian's recognition within the Hyundai Group will be.

  Under such circumstances, Chung Mong-heon had no other choice and finally preached.

   "Okay, but Mr. Chu, all of this will have to wait until the Hyundai Group can win the reconstruction project of the HSBC Building before we can proceed with the transaction!"

Chu Huan smiled and said, "Of course, when I was in Seoul, I already told Mr. Zheng that I would be very supportive of Hyundai Group's acquisition of the HSBC Building reconstruction project. Now I have arranged for Gonghe Construction , Jinmen Construction’s professional bidding team will provide you with professional advice, Mr. Zheng, and I believe that with the support of these two companies, Hyundai Group’s chances of winning the reconstruction project of the HSBC Building will be even greater!”

   Zheng Mengxian smiled immediately, and thanked earnestly: "Thank you Director Chu for your support, I hope our friendship can continue like this!"

  Chu Huan laughed and said, "It's only natural!"

.

   In the afternoon, Wu Shuhan came to Chu Huan's office first.

  Wu Shuhan emphatically introduced to Chu Huan the investment of Jiaku in China.

"The hotels we cooperate with the Beijing government, the Shenghai government, and the Lin'an government will be completed this year. At the same time, the hotel we cooperate with the Pengcheng government will officially start this year. The governments of these four places invite you, the boss, to complete the construction. You can go to the site when the construction starts!"

  At this time, the hotel cooperated by Jiaku and his hometown is actually the same as Huo Tsar and Hu Yingxiang investing in building a hotel in his hometown.

  It was funded by Jiaku and undertaken by the hometown. Although the final management team was trained by Xiangjiang, the management personnel actually belonged to the hometown.

   But Jiaku has the right to share dividends for a certain number of years. When the period expires, these four hotels belong to their hometown and have nothing to do with Jiaku.

   Profit will definitely be profitable, but in fact, the benefits obtained include the development of the times, inflation and other factors, and there is no profit at all!

  Simply speaking, in fact, Jiaku used money to support the development of the hotel industry in his hometown.

  But just like the problem Zheng Mongxian faced in the morning, this kind of thing cannot be viewed from a purely commercial perspective.

  In terms of business, Jiaku did not get any profit, but Jiaku gained the friendship of his hometown in the first place, and at the same time, he also had a certain fate with these four cities.

When the business policy of his hometown becomes more and more clear in the future, Jiaku will have the priority to enter these four cities at the earliest. At home market.

   will have convenient conditions that other foreign capitals do not have!

Chu Huan thought for a while, and asked Wu Shuhan to decline the invitations from the governments of these four places. He did not want to leave Xiangjiang too much this year. First, Chu Huan spent too much time outside last year. From a bird's-eye view, I watched how the company leaders of Xiangjiang Jiaku developed without participating in specific affairs.

   What's more, according to Chu Huan's prestige and status in his hometown at this time, he no longer needs to participate in these local affairs.

"The most important thing for you in your hometown is to always observe the attitude of your hometown towards the two investment plans we proposed. These two investment plans are SSS-level investments of the group, which are related to the development of the group in the next few decades. Absolutely nothing can go wrong!"

  For Chu Huan, the biggest investment in his hometown in the past ten years is actually the Cangjiang plan and the rare earth strategy. These two plans can be said to be the foundation of Jiaku in his hometown.

  As long as these two plans are successful, Chu Huan will no longer need to use external funds to support the business of his hometown, and then Jiaku's business empire in his hometown will be completely self-sufficient!

Wu Shuhan nodded and said: "I know, before I came back, I met with Mr. Yu again. My hometown has already been arguing about your two investment plans, boss, and there are many voices of opposition. In some people's eyes, this is Class issues, awareness issues, but Mr. Yu also asked me to tell the boss to you.

The old man is very optimistic about your investment plan, the boss, but even the old man needs to balance the voices of all parties, so these two things have been delayed for so long, but Mr. Yu also said that it can be settled in his hometown Only the old man is in the universe.

  As long as the old man is supportive, the chance of success is very high! "

  Chu Huan nodded slightly.

   At this time Feng Jing walked in, "Boss, Mr. Hu is here!"

  Chu Huan smiled and said, "Please come in!"

   After a while, Hu Yingxiang walked in.

   "Mr. Chu, I wish you an early year!" Hu Yingxiang walked in with a smile on his face.

  Chu Dong also stood up and said with a smile: "You are being polite, please sit down!"

  After the two parties were seated, Hu Yingxiang also directly told Chu Huan about his purpose of coming this time, which was to build a highway in his hometown.

"Mr. Chu, the environment of my hometown is different from the past. I think the future development of my hometown will definitely not be bad, but I have gone back many times, but found that the traffic environment there is very inconvenient. There is no way to do it." To meet the needs of future development, so I think that if the hometown wants to develop and bring wings to the development, it must need the existence of expressways.

It's a pity that I am a soft-spoken person. I have communicated with my hometown several times in private, but the other party didn't quite agree with my proposal, so I thought that if you, Mr. Chu, can propose with me, the possibility of success must be very high of!

  Of course, there is still the most important step, and that is to hope to get your financial support from President Chu in this matter.

  When I was discussing this matter with my hometown, the other party had a big concern, that is, financial concerns! "

  Hu Yingxiang did not have any deadlines for Chu Huan on this matter. Everyone knows that building a highway is a good thing, but sometimes a good thing may become a bad thing.

  One of the main reasons is funding. As long as such a major project starts, it will definitely attract attention from home and abroad.

  It would be a very embarrassing thing if under such circumstances, the hometown side rushed to start the project, and the capital chain suddenly broke when the project was halfway through.

Losing face is a small matter. In order to prevent this project from being completed halfway, the hometown must take over, but now the hometown is waiting to be done, and it can be said that all the funds are needed. If the hometown takes over, it will definitely affect Other works.

  Chu Huan nodded, and said with a smile: "The plan you proposed, Hu Sheng, does require the support of a huge amount of cash. It is right for my hometown to have concerns about this!"

Hu Yingxiang smiled and said: "That's it. Originally, I wanted to unite with the major consortiums of Xiangjiang, and even contacted more than 40 banks, but you also know that the more complicated the equity, the easier it is to appear If there is a problem in any link, it may lead to the failure of the entire project.

  So instead of looking for so many families, it is better to find Mr. Chu and your family. "

Speaking of this, Hu Yingxiang paused, and after reorganizing some words, he continued to speak: "In fact, I also know the certain attributes of this project. The construction of expressways is a project that requires heavy investment and slow returns. However, Director Chu You and I should also know that once such a project is successful, the annual income will be very considerable and solid."

Chu Huan waved his hand, smiled, and said, "In terms of return on investment, Hu Sheng, you don't need to explain too much. We, Jiaku, know it ourselves. In fact, I have the same idea as Hu Sheng. The construction of roads is inevitable. One thing that must be done, and the sooner the better, so don't worry about this matter, I support you!"

  Invest in public utilities such as highways and power plants in his hometown. In fact, even if Hu Yingxiang doesn't come to see Chu Huan, Chu Huan will find a time this year to discuss with Hu Yingxiang.

  If you want to get rich, build roads first!

   This is a common saying in later generations, and it is also a recognized fact.

   It would be unrealistic to say how impartial and selfless Chu Huan is in this matter. The most important issue is actually the profit return and Jiaku’s own development needs to be considered.

  Highways and power plants are different from hotels. Although their returns are also slow, their timeliness is unmatched by the hotel industry, and more importantly, the role they play.

   If Chu Huan really gets the approval of his hometown in the future and agrees to his two investments, the power plant and the road are the two necessary supporting facilities.

  Especially roads. Only with roads can we ensure that the goods produced by the projects invested by Chu Huan can be better transported to all parts of the country.

  And these two aspects belong to the investment at the infrastructure level, which can avoid many unnecessary troubles and gain more reputation in the future.

  So at this time Chu Huan happily agreed to Hu Yingxiang's suggestion.

   Obviously, Hu Yingxiang did not expect Chu Huan to agree so readily!

   "Director Chu, do you really agree to invest?"

  Chu Huan nodded and said with a smile: "Of course, but if my hometown agrees to the proposal of the two of us, I need a road designated by myself that is the same as several important highways!"

  Hu Yingxiang doesn't know the investment that Chu Huan is preparing in his hometown now, but this is not important anymore. As long as he has Chu Huan's support, then he has a great possibility to convince his hometown!

   "No problem, I will definitely report this matter to my hometown side truthfully."

  Chu Huan asked: "Then Hu Sheng, when are you going to go to your hometown to discuss this matter?"

  Although Chu Huan had rejected invitations from several local governments before, and decided to spend more time in Xiangjiang this year, there are still some things that Chu Huan needs to go to his hometown to solve in person.

  First of all, what is certain is the matter Hu Yingxiang mentioned now.

  Secondly, Chu Huan's two investment plans, if his hometown can give a positive answer this year, Chu Huan must also go to his hometown!

  Finally, it was time to meet with Mr. Zhu, and Chu Huan had been thinking about the investment of the Merchants Bureau and other groups!

   "After I'm ready to spend the New Year, I'll set off for my hometown!" Hu Yingxiang said.

  Chu Huan nodded and said: "After Hu Sheng decides on the specific time, I can tell Jiaku's secretary's office, and they will coordinate my time at that time!"

  Hu Yingxiang stretched out his hands, and said seriously to Chu Huan: "Chu Director, thank you so much for this incident!"

  Chu Huan said with a smile: "Hu Sheng's words are serious, our Jiaku is also for our own development!"

.

   Just as Chu Huan and Hu Yingxiang met, Chen Songqing from Carrian received a call from the secretary office of Jiaku.

   "Brother Qing, what will happen if Chu Huan suddenly sees you at this time?" Qian Zhengnan sat on the sofa in Chen Songqing's office and said with a puzzled expression.

   "What else can it be? Brother Qing's development in the past year has attracted the attention of the whole Xiangjiang River. Chu Huan was very optimistic about Brother Qing before, and this time it must be to cooperate with Brother Qing!"

  Zhuang Yongcheng's proud preaching.

  In fact, Zhuang Yongcheng was right. When Chu Huan started to expand overseas business in 1980, Chen Songqing led his Carrian to start a crazy expansion last year.

In September last year, Carrian Real Estate announced that its subsidiary, Carrian Shipping, purchased a 30,000-ton dry cargo ship "Advanced" from Paul Y. Construction for HK$61 million, and renamed it "Carrian One". Order four dry cargo ships from Japan and the Federal Republic of Germany to increase the development of the shipping industry. Before that, they have purchased many cargo ships from Wheelock Shipping.

  This allowed their carrian line to be established earlier than in another time and space.

   Now Chen Songqing is planning to list Carrian Shipping.

   Also in September last year, Carrian Real Estate and Thailand’s RamaTower reached a share exchange agreement. Carrian issued 2,888,800 new shares at a price of HK$17.3 per share in exchange for 25% of RamaTower’s equity.

  RamaTower is one of the main listed companies in Thailand, owns five hotels, and operates insurance and finance.

  In November, Carrian Real Estate purchased 13.8 million shares of Jielian Enterprise, a listed company, from the Zheng family at a price of HK$6 per share, involving approximately HK$142 million in capital, obtained a 30% stake in Jielian Enterprise, and became a major shareholder of the company.

   But now, Chen Songqing seems to have changed his mind again, and he does not want to turn Jielian into another company that is in balance with Carrian Real Estate. He is discussing with Zhong Zhengyi and wants to sell Jielian to Zhong Zhengyi.

   Originally, last year, Carrian would also buy Japan’s Daily Life, but now Chu Huan has done this, and Chen Songqing’s Carrian did not have this operation.

In December, Jianing Real Estate announced that it would form a joint venture with Qiu Degen’s Far East Consortium, Zhong Zhengwen’s Yida Investment, and Feng Jingxi’s Sun Hung Kai Securities to obtain listing status through Hong Kong Kowloon Shipping, a listed shell company under Far East Consortium. The remaining three companies injected assets, making Qiaolian Real Estate a listed company with assets of 863 million Hong Kong dollars, and Carrian Real Estate holds 21.7% of its shares.

  However, according to the situation of later generations, it didn't take long for the company's major shareholders to disagree on the sale and purchase of shares, which caused an investigation by the Commissioner of the Securities Regulatory Commission, and finally Zhong Zhengwen took over.

  Multiple acquisitions have made Carrian grow into a first-class comprehensive group in Xiangjiang.

  So in Zhuang Yongcheng's view, Chu Huan suddenly wanted to meet Chen Songqing after entering 1981, it should be for cooperation.

  As Zhuang Yongcheng said, during the development of Carrian, Chu Huan has always been very optimistic about Carrian!

   In fact, not only Zhuang Yongcheng thought so, but also Chen Songqing. At this time, he was sitting on his sofa with a strong horse, watching Qian Zhengnan, who was still a little worried, preaching.

"Ah Nan, don't worry, Carrian's development is going well now, I believe that Chu Huan is more optimistic about our development than before, this time he took the initiative to let me see him, there must be some big project! "

   "But the company's current funds" Qian Zhengnan worried that this would empty out the company's funds.

  Chen Songqing preached confidently: "Don't worry, the financial problem has never been a problem with me!"

  Hearing what Chen Songqing said, Qian Zhengnan couldn't say anything more!
