Year: I had a good time when I was young

Chapter 413

After another meeting, they found a company with an annual profit of at least 50 pounds, but an investment of only 100 million pounds.

It immediately made shareholders realize that once this company develops, profits will not be the bulk of its profits.

The company's valuation continues to increase, which is the most profitable profit point.

Of course, the prospects seem good now, but who knows what will happen in the future.

In addition, Standard Chartered tends to be conservative. This company, which has just been established for 4 days, is only willing to value the company at 200 million pounds.

Chu Xiangqian was so angry that he wanted to curse. He suppressed his anger and then thought about it. Anyway, he had no intention of holding the absolute controlling stake in the luggage company for a long time.

Moreover, 41% of the shares exceed 34%, which is equivalent to retaining the right of veto.

By casually recruiting two or three of Ge Bai and others, you can regain absolute control.

Moreover, when the company is just starting out and has not yet really developed, the founder will still have great authority unless he is stupid.

When it really develops and someone wants more shares, just sell it to them.

Once you get the money and invest in other projects, the return on investment will be higher.

However, Chu Xiangqian finally forced himself to demand that the voting rights for the shares held by Standard Chartered would belong to him within the next five years.

And five years later, if I want to sell my shares in the luggage company, Standard Chartered will have priority.

After agreeing with Standard Chartered to invest in Champion Luggage and obtaining 10% of the shares, Chu Xiangqian also became a shareholder of Standard Chartered Hong Kong Branch at a price of 200 million pounds.

He was subsequently nominated by the board of directors and became one of the directors.

The money Chu Xiangqian invested would naturally not be given in U.S. dollars or Hong Kong dollars.

The one-time payment of 200 million pounds to Standard Chartered suddenly made shareholders look forward to him more and more.

As soon as the news was announced, countless people wanted to know who the new shareholder was.

Chu Xiangqian is not stupid. People who should know can find out through connections without newspaper reports.

Ordinary people have nothing to do with Chu Xiangqian's interests, so they naturally have to hide it.

Sure enough, it only took one day for Wrinkle Huai to find out that his boss had become Standard Chartered's new board member.

Ge Bai and several ghost guys even came directly to congratulate him.

Even Lu Guohua from Cathay Pacific and even his eldest brother Lu Guonian asked Lu Guohua to bring congratulations.

The major newspapers were originally considering whether to give face to Chu Xiangqian, a newly wealthy man, and not mention his name even in the reports.

He Yisheng had already followed Chu Qianqian's instructions and called the editor-in-chief of a newspaper with a sales volume of over [-] to tell them some things about their newspaper shareholders or bosses.

Not to mention reporting on Chu Xiangqian’s identity and past, several major newspapers simply mentioned that Standard Chartered welcomed its first Chinese shareholder, and that was considered a report.

This is the benefit of having a large newspaper with a daily sales of over 5 yuan.

If other newspapers dare to report on Chu Xiangqian today, they will have to wait for Oriental Daily to expose the scandals about their bosses and shareholders tomorrow.

Even if it cannot be found for the time being, a big newspaper will always keep an eye on it. If the coverage is not complete, scandals in one's own business or life style will be found.

If a fight breaks out, both sides will suffer in the end.

Then let the people eat melon seeds and watch the fun.

It's a pity that some people still can't figure out the situation.

The next day at the dinner held by Juan for Chu Xiangqian, Chu Xiangqian was chatting with several shareholders of Kowloon Bus.

Zhang Tianzhi walked quickly to him and whispered, "Boss, Ah Shui came over and gave me a copy of the evening newspaper issued this afternoon.

There is an article above that reflects Miss Zhao’s report. "

Chu Xiangqian was startled, "What is there about Feifei worth reporting and reporting on?"

Zhang Tianzhi hesitated for a few seconds, and then whispered, "The newspaper said that Miss Zhao worked for a wealthy man and was raised by a wealthy man, but she didn't give a cent to her biological mother.

And, and,,,. "

Seeing that Zhang Tianzhi did not dare to continue speaking, Chu Qianqian waved his hand, knowing that it was definitely not a good thing.

Secretly wondering why anyone would report this.

Then he realized that he wanted to cause trouble for himself, but he didn't dare to directly target himself when he was at the height of his power.

Only then did he think of using his personal ethics to attack his reputation first.

That's not right. It's not like Hong Kong is an era where multiple marriages are prohibited and concubines are legal. If a rich man keeps several women, ordinary people will only envy him.

Not to mention that she is not married yet. Even if a woman scolds her, she can only scold herself for being ridiculous and disrespectful of women, but she cannot scold herself for her lack of personal ethics.

As for Feifei’s biological mother.

Anyone who knows that Feifei went to become a rich man because her biological mother owed gambling debts will definitely side with Feifei.

Chu Xiangqian really couldn't figure out who would do such a useless, risky and stupid thing.

He looked at Zhang Tianzhi and asked, "Has Sanjiang Shui found out who is behind the scenes?"

Zhang Tianzhi shook his head, "The Evening News has only been published for two hours. Now I only know that someone gave this Evening News 1 Hong Kong dollars, and the editor-in-chief did not know the identity of Miss Zhao, so this report was published in the Evening News."

Chu Qianqian frowned and thought for a while, it seemed that the worst outcome was that Xiao Laner knew that he had a woman in Hong Kong Island.

No, it's impossible for anyone on Hong Kong Island to target Xue Jinglan.

Then the other party must have targeted Margaret.

Chu Qianqian smiled. Needless to say, it was probably those British guys who didn't like him.

Maybe he's someone from MI6.

There are also those competitors who worry that their rise will prompt some Chinese businessmen to move closer to them, which will then indirectly strengthen Standard Chartered.

Needless to say, the first one to be suspected was HSBC.

Now that he had roughly determined who his opponent was, Chu Xiangqian was no longer worried.

Margaret had already joined forces with Nata to deal with herself on the bed.

And when she was in Hong Kong Island, she knew that she already had Feifei.

When this news reached Margaret's ears, the girl at most called her and asked him to go to London to accompany her as soon as possible.

Then I realized that someone was trying to cause trouble.

Maybe this time the enemy in the dark will be clever but misled by his cleverness.

Not only would he be embarrassed in front of Margaret, he would also be hated by her.

As for Feifei, Chu Qianqian smiled. With his understanding of her, he could really hit this chick.

One is that he doesn't want her, and the other is her biological mother who likes gambling and even sold her into the Monopoly nightclub.

I definitely wouldn’t be able to write a report without Feifei, an obedient, well-behaved and pretty girl.

After the secret opponent sees that his side is unmoved, there is a high probability that he will target Feifei's mother.

Given tens of thousands of dollars, the woman might really jump out and say that Feifei has become a rich man and doesn't care about her mother's life or death.

No matter what the outcome is, apart from Feifei being blamed, just dragging herself into such a mess would be a huge loss of face.

Chu Qianqian looked at Zhang Tianzhi and asked, "Do you know Feifei's mother?"

Zhang Tianzhi shook his head, and Chu Xiangqian also realized that it was he who met Feifei first, and then pulled Zhang Tianzhi over to help him.Moreover, Feifei's mother was sent to the New Territories to live with a retired gangster by Lan Gang early on.

It's only normal that Zhang Tianzhi doesn't know.

Chu Qianqian originally wanted to send the two of them to a certain countryside to hide for a while.

But then I thought about it, maybe the retired old man was also involved in this.

Even she couldn't guarantee whether Feifei's mother would be willing to hide.

Chu Qianqian thought for a moment and decided to take the initiative himself.

He walked to the phone and called He Yisheng at the newspaper office, roughly telling him about Feifei's life experience.

Then He Yisheng was asked to focus on how Feifei's mother cheated her. As he was talking, Chu Xiangqian suddenly realized that if he reported it like this.

It is tantamount to giving the opponent the opportunity to mess around or even make up random things.

Originally she was just a rich little woman. Ordinary people would scold her after seeing it, then turn around and stop paying attention.

But if I let the newspaper report it, I would be taking the initiative to expand the topic.

As long as more people are interested, this matter will be reported endlessly for days.

Just ignore it and let Feifei's own mother jump out to trick her daughter. The more Feifei is scolded now, the more disappointed she is in her own mother. On the contrary, it can be solved once and for all.

Of course, she must spend more time with this girl. As long as she treats her the same as before, with Feifei's character, she won't care what others say about her.

After all, she lost her father when she was young and met her mother, a gambler. Her personality is still a bit simple, which shows that this girl has a big heart.

Then Chu Xiangqian thought that the most effective and direct way to transfer people was to make a bigger news.

After asking He Yisheng to suspend his actions, he actively collected news about HSBC, Land, and Swire.

Chu Xiangqian asked Zhang Tianzhi to tell Sanjiang Shui to be calm and calm, and then called Lan Gang.

At the beginning, this guy patted his chest and said that he would definitely make Feifei's mother honest.

After listening to this, Lan Gang almost exploded with anger.

Chu Xiangqian said, "Brother Gang, don't be so anxious. Let's first see who will come into contact with Feifei's mother. Follow the trend to find out."

Lan Gang gritted his teeth and said, "Don't worry, Achu, after I find out, I will personally lead people to bury all the people who caused the trouble."

Chu Qianqian smiled and said, "It's better to ask more clearly, lest there is a big shot hiding behind us and we ignore him."

Lan Gang was not stupid, he nodded and said, "Understood, I will check it out before taking action."

Chu Xiangqian hung up the phone and secretly said that having many friends was not a bad thing.

Then he continued chatting with several shareholders of Kowloon Bus as if nothing was wrong.

By the way, is it possible for the bus to set up a new platform outside the Oriental Daily?

Several bus shareholders naturally agreed.

This trivial matter has earned Chu Qianqian, the new Standard Chartered director's favor, and he would be a fool not to agree.

What Chu Xiangqian didn't expect was that the other party actually invited him to become a shareholder in the bus company.

Chu Xiangqian understood after a moment's thought that this time was different from the past.

I used to be just a wealthy new tycoon.

Even if we can win the project and property rights of Chai Wan Pier, for those established and prominent families, they are only just qualified to talk to them.

But things are different now. Standard Chartered board members can definitely talk to any Chinese family on an equal footing.

As long as I own a stake, the bus company will not only have a strong enough ally in the future.

If a few years later the bus company runs out of funds raised from the stock market this year and needs another loan to expand the bus company, it will be much easier to get the loan.

Even when their own family encounters a financial crisis, it is much easier to ask for help.

Chu Qianqian thought for a while and then shook his head, "I do have a good outlook on the bus company's prospects, but as I said, the business will never be finished.

And since I told Juan Taipan not to touch the bus company, even if you take the initiative to invite me, some outsiders will doubt my credibility. "

After finishing speaking, Chu Xiangqian sighed, "I made money, but lost credibility. It's really not worth the loss."

Chu Qianqian said this, but he was actually thinking in his heart that the taxi company he was about to establish would naturally be a competitor to the bus company.

If you invest in a bus company and start a taxi business at the same time, you will end up being a different person both inside and out.

It would be better to give up the bus company in the first place and focus on running the taxi company.

Several shareholders of the bus company are now truly relieved.

At the same time, it was a bit regretful. After all, Chu Xiangqian cared so much about his reputation, which made him seem more and more like an excellent partner.

Just after we separated from several shareholders of the bus company, two more people walked over quickly.

"Chu Sheng, I am He Zanyuan from Hang Seng Bank, and this is Li Dongchao."

Since Chu Xiangqian had thought about Heng Sheng, he naturally knew who the two people in front of him were.

"Mr. He and Mr. Li, I have wanted to meet you two for a long time, but I never had the chance."

After taking the initiative to shake hands with the two of them, He Zanyuan said with a smile after a few polite words, "Chu Sheng may not know that my eldest brother also bought a complete tiger skin from you.

Judging from the relationship, our He family has actually been in contact with you for a long time. "

Chu shrugged forward, naturally knowing that He Zanyuan was talking about He Zanxian.

It's a pity that I used to be an unknown person, and no one would even see me if I took the initiative to approach him.

As for now, I just want to talk about cooperation.

But Chu Xiangqian wanted more than just cooperation.

Faced with Chu Xiangqian's hint of investing in shares without saying a few words, He Zanyuan and Li Dongchao were surprised at first.

Then he realized that Chu Qianqian was a very powerful person.

How dare the two of them agree?

Hang Seng is now only a small bank with a market value of about 500 million. With Chu Xiangqian's financial resources, he can easily suppress everyone and has to sell more shares to him.

However, the strength of He Zanyuan and Li Dongchao is not very good, but the families behind them are old and prominent families in Hong Kong Island.

As early as 30 years ago, the Lee family spent 380 million Hong Kong dollars to acquire a large piece of land in Causeway Bay.

It has been slowly developed over the years. Although many properties have been sold, many properties have been retained for rent but not for sale.

He Zanyuan's eldest brother is even more powerful, and Chu Xiangqian will naturally not be a stupid friend but a rival.

After a few polite words, we parted ways.

Anyway, there will be many opportunities to buy shares in the future. I directly hinted today and told Hang Seng shareholders that I am very interested in their bank's shares.

But after several years, he has never done anything to them. When he really encounters trouble, it is easier to think of tonight's conversation.

He also believes that although Chu Xiangqian speaks directly, he is also a fastidious person.

That's the beauty of fame.

After chatting with several groups of people for a while, Chu Xiangqian felt a little impatient.
