"Boss, this is an invitation from Samsung Li Bingzhe, inviting you to attend a dinner at his mansion tonight!"
Feng Jing was the accompanying secretary who followed Chu Huan to South Korea this time. At this time, she came to the study room of Chu Huan's hotel room with an invitation.
"This is the third invitation for today!"
After Feng Jing put the invitation on the table, she preached to Chu Huan.
Chu Huan was bumped into by Zheng Mengjiu in Chun Doo-hwan's private club last night, and today, several big chaebols in South Korea sent invitations to Chu Huan for a meeting!
Chu Huan picked up the invitation, flipped through it casually, and asked Feng Jing, "How is the company's business in South Korea?"
After Feng Jing followed Chu Huan to South Korea, she did not accompany Chu Huan to meet Chun Douhuan, but went directly to Jiaku's headquarters in South Korea.
Feng Jing said: "The company's situation is good. At the beginning, it did suffer from some unfair competition. However, after Zheng Zhouyong apologized to you, the rest will be normal business competition. !"
Chu Huan nodded, facing normal business competition, Chu Huan was not worried at all.
"I asked you to investigate the situation, how is the investigation going?" Chu Huan continued to ask Feng Jing.
Feng Jing nodded and said: "The investigation has been clear, and the documents are being sorted out now. In the afternoon, I will send you the specific information of Dongming Timber!"
Chu Huan nodded with satisfaction, and said: "Although the acquisition of Dongming Timber this time is South Korea's Sun Investment, after all, the company is going to buy shares in Busan Bank. In addition, Pu Zhenxing does not have so many people, so On the surface, it is the acquisition of Dongming Timber by Sun Investment, but in fact it is the acquisition of Dongming Timber by Jiaku in South Korea, so we must handle it well in terms of manpower!"
"Understood!" Feng Jing nodded and said: "I have already handed over the list of some talents that need to be transferred to Mr. Li. After the screening, he should present you with the final list. Xiangjiang people are screened at a ratio of 8:2, although South Koreans have an advantage in number, but in important positions, we Xiangjiang people account for a larger proportion!"
In the acquisition of any company, the first problem is always the problem of personnel.
Before Chu Huan acquired Hehe International-Wheelock, this was the case, it was the same with the acquisition of Jardine, and it was the same with the acquisition of Dongming Timber.
There are more South Koreans, this is to ensure that people in South Korea feel that this is still a South Korean company, but Xiangjiang people occupy more of the main positions, that is because Chu Huan does not fully believe in Pu Zhenxing, and does not Trust those South Koreans completely!
"Very good, you have done a good job on this matter!"
Chu Huan gave a positive answer to the work of Feng Jing and others.
Feng Jing also thanked Chu Huan, and then asked Chu Huan: "Boss, with these invitation letters, whose dinner party are you going to attend?"
"Write a receipt to the other two. You arrange the time in these two days. I will meet with them separately. In addition, you reply to Zheng Zhouyong and say that I will go to his mansion on time tonight to meet him!"
Feng Jing was a little surprised by Chu Huan's arrangement. Originally, she thought that Chu Huan would meet Li Bingzhe of Samsung first. After all, according to Jiaku's business analysis of South Korea, although the two chaebols, Samsung and Hyundai, have great potential , but they are more optimistic about the future development of Samsung.
What's more, Chu Huan had an unpleasant experience with Zheng Zhouyong of Hyundai Group, but he never thought that Chu Huan would be the first to meet Zheng Zhouyong!
Facing Feng Jing's puzzlement, Chu Huan just smiled and said nothing, "Just get ready!"
"yes!"
.
That night, Chu Huan came to Zheng Zhouyong's mansion by car, and Zheng Zhouyong obviously attached great importance to Chu Huan's arrival this time, not only Zheng Zhouyong, but also his three most outstanding sons, the second son Zheng Mengjiu, the fifth son Zheng Mengxian, The six sons, Zheng Mengzhun, were all present.
"President Zheng, you are too grand, I just came to South Korea for vacation, I can't do this!"
After seeing Zheng Zhouyong, Chu Huan hugged Zheng Zhouyong with a smile on his face.
Zheng Zhouyong also preached enthusiastically: "It should be, Chairman Chu finally came to South Korea, I definitely want to do my best as a landlord!"
Looking at the enthusiasm of the two of them, it is not at all like the experience of the two of them fighting life and death.
After inviting Chu Huan to sit down, Zheng Zhouyong continued to ask Chu Huan enthusiastically: "President Chu is not just visiting South Korea this time, is he?"
This morning, after Zheng Zhouyong knew from Zheng Mengjiu that Chu Huan had arrived in Seoul and that Quan Zaiguo personally received him, he did not speak for a long time. After waiting for more than an hour, Zheng Zhouyong ordered Zheng Mengjiu to send an invitation to Chu Huan , invited Chu Huan to come to my house as a guest tonight.
Chu Huan said with a smile: "Nothing can be hidden from Chairman Zheng. With the help of Chairman Zheng, Jiaku's business in South Korea is on the right track. I also came here specially to see the situation here."
Although there is no problem with this reason, Zheng Zhouyong still feels that it is a bit strange for Chu Huan to come here at this time. After all, the situation in South Korea is not very stable. The most important thing is, when did Chu Huan have such a good relationship with Chun Doo-hwan? up?
But Zheng Zhouyong had no way to ask Chu Huan about these things, so he could only investigate slowly.
"I haven't congratulated Mr. Chu yet. The battle between Heung Kong and Hongkong for the acquisition of Jardine was really admirable. It greatly boosted the morale of our Asians!"
Zheng Zhouyong has been paying attention to Chu Huan's situation, in order to find an opportunity to clean up Chu Huan and avenge his humiliation back then.
However, Chu Huan's business seems to be developing like a rocket. Not only is his business in Xiangjiang getting bigger and bigger, he even acquired Jardine, the former No. 1 consortium in Xiangjiang last year!
Such a result will definitely not make Zheng Zhouyong happy!
Chu Huan said with a smile: "It's just good luck. I haven't congratulated Chairman Zheng yet. I heard that your company has already connected with Saudi Arabia. It seems that the future construction of Saudi Arabia cannot do without the support of Chairman Zheng's Hyundai Group." !"
As mentioned before, although Hyundai Group is most famous for Hyundai Motor, in fact, Hyundai Group’s fortune is more in construction projects.
Now, the construction companies under Hyundai have already gone out of South Korea, and have begun to undertake projects in many places.
Saudi Arabia is also one of their potential customers.
"It's just doing some things that others don't want to do. It's not as good as your business in Xiangjiang, Mr. Chu." Zheng Zhouyong said modestly: "By the way, Mr. Chu, it happens that you are here this time. There is something you want to do." Ask you to inquire."
Chu Huan said with a smile: "President Zheng has anything to say, just ask!"
Zheng Zhouyong asked: "I heard that HSBC Bank in Xiangjiang intends to rebuild their headquarters building. I don't know if you have heard of this, Mr. Chu!"
Although HSBC is now hesitating between leaving Xiangjiang or staying in Xiangjiang, the reconstruction of their headquarters building has indeed been put on the agenda.
Chu Huan nodded and said, "I have indeed heard some such rumors. Does President Zheng have any ideas?"
Zheng Zhouyong laughed, and said: "Oh, I'm just asking, who in this project in Xiangjiang can compete with Chu Dong's Jinmen building and Mrs. Zun's Gonghe building!"
At that time, Cao Yunshang saw more and more land under the name of Zhulu Real Estate, so in order to better develop, Cao Yunshang proposed to acquire a construction company. At that time, it was Lu Xiaopei's Gonghe Construction, and later this construction company was indeed acquired. Cao Yunshang bought it.
Then last year, after Huaren Real Estate completed the acquisition of Jardine and Hongkong Land, their largest construction company in Xiangjiang, Jinmen Construction, naturally became Chu Huan's industry.
In fact, in another time and space, HSBC Bank decided to rebuild their HSBC Building this year. As soon as this plan came out, it immediately attracted the attention of many construction companies, and Zheng Zhouyong's construction company also went to tender.
However, it was Lu Xiaopei's Gonghe Architecture who won the project in the end!
"Is everyone competing fairly!" Chu Huan said with a smile: "And to be honest, our company already has enough projects of its own, and there are ten billion apartment projects in progress, so whether it is Jinmen Construction or Gonghe Construction, in fact They don’t have much effort to participate in the bidding for the HSBC Tower!”
It's not that Chu Huan is being modest or hiding something, it's true.
Nowadays, all the projects of Zhulu Real Estate, Hehe International-Wheelock, Jardine, and Hongkong Land are basically covered by Golden Gate Construction and Gonghe Construction. Now the engineering volume of these two construction companies is actually operating under load. up.
For others, winning the HSBC New Building project is a good project, but for these two companies, it is indeed a dispensable thing.
After listening to Zheng Zhouyong, his eyes lit up instantly. Although Hyundai Group is the top chaebol in South Korea, there is still a big gap compared with the companies under Chu Huan.
The most important thing is that, relying on the reputation of HSBC, the construction party does not have to worry about the project payment being in arrears in this matter.
Then this project has become a project for many companies to withdraw funds.
The same is true for Hyundai Group. Compared with Dongming Timber, their only strength is that their current operating conditions are still good, and there is no problem with cash flow, but this is only compared to other companies in South Korea.
In fact, relying on many consortiums in South Korea, they basically live on loans. In order to make South Korea's economy develop, Lee Seung-man and Park Chung-hee thought of a way to rely on the power of the whole country to support some The international consortium came out to improve the economic development of South Korea.
The idea is good, but the actual situation has also been seen by later generations. These consortiums are only fattening themselves.
But it is impossible for their money to be stored in the bank, so they are all used for shopping. In fact, they don’t have much cash flow!
In another time and space, the total project cost of HSBC’s new building was 5.5 billion Hong Kong dollars. Although there are many commercial buildings in Hong Kong whose height exceeds HSBC, there is no way to compare with HSBC in terms of cost.
Completed in 1989, the Huaguo Bank Building was the tallest building in Hong Kong (70 floors) and the fifth tallest building in the world at that time, but the construction cost of the entire Huayin Building was only HK$1.3 billion.
However, Gonghe Construction did not completely obtain all the projects of the HSBC New Building, but was only responsible for the on-site construction management, but just this, also made Gonghe Construction a profit of 75 million Hong Kong dollars.
It can be said that such a project, not to mention the construction company of Xiangjiang, even the overseas construction company will definitely grab their heads.
The construction company under the Jung Joo Young Hyundai Group hopes to win the bid for a larger project.
In Zheng Zhouyong's opinion, if they can get Chu Huan's support, then their chances of winning the bid will be even greater!
As for the grievances between him and Chu Huan, in the face of this interest, Zheng Zhouyong can choose to forget it temporarily.
"Mr. Chu, such a project is impossible for a construction company to complete. Why don't you and I join forces? I promise that I will not disappoint you, Mr. Chu!"
Zheng Zhouyong put forward his real idea at this time.
Chu Huan thought for a while, then said with a smile: "I personally don't have any opinions. After all, President Zheng's construction company is a guarantee of credibility throughout Asia."
Seeing what Chu Huan said, Zheng Zhouyong became more and more happy, and immediately asked Chu Huan: "So, Mr. Chu, do you agree with us to join forces?"
Chu Huan waved his hand and said, "We can join forces, but there is one thing that I hope President Zheng can agree to!"
Zheng Zhouyong thought that Chu Huan was going to talk about South Korea. After all, in Zheng Zhouyong's view, Chu Huan's visit to South Korea this time was definitely not as simple as inspecting the work of South Korea's Jiaku.
"Mr. Chu, please speak!"
Chu Huan said: "It is very simple that we need a promise from President Zheng. If President Zheng can promise me this promise, then in the future bidding, Gonghe Construction and Jinmen Construction will definitely cooperate with President Zheng to win the bid!"
Zheng Zhouyong asked: "What is the promise that President Chu wants?"
Chu Huan said with a smile: "I hope Chairman Zheng can cooperate with our Jiaku for the materials needed for the construction. We will provide Chairman Zheng with the materials needed for the construction. Of course, we will also cooperate with Zheng in terms of price. President, how about 10% lower than the market price?"
This is why the first chaebol Chu Huan chose to meet in South Korea was the Zheng family. Although the two parties have grievances, it does not hinder the cooperation between the two parties.
Construction is labor-intensive, and at the same time it will occupy the manpower of Gonghe Construction and Jinmen Construction. Chu Huan really can't allocate too much manpower to do this now.
Since this is the case, it is better to focus on the supply of building materials.
Without the competition between Gonghe Construction and Jinmen Construction, the construction company under Hyundai Group is very likely to win the bid. Chu Huan's intention to cooperate with the other party in advance is actually the most beneficial thing for Chu Huan.
Since Zheng Zhouyong paid attention to Chu Huan, he naturally knew that after Chu Huan acquired Hehe International-Wheelock, he began to reorganize Defeng Shipping into Wheelock Steel.
Now that I heard Chu Huan say this, I naturally think that what Chu Huan is thinking about is cooperation in this area.
"No problem, I can agree to Director Chu's request right now!"
So after simple consideration, Zheng Zhouyong agreed to Chu Huan's request.
Chu Huan was not surprised that Zheng Zhouyong agreed so readily, but Chu Huan believed that if Zheng Zhouyong knew that he came to South Korea this time to buy Dongming Timber, he would need to seriously consider this matter.
The difficulty that Dongming Timber is facing now is the shortage of working capital. At the same time, the Chun Doo-hwan government in South Korea may punish them by suspending loans at any time.
Chu Huan didn’t want his own business in South Korea. In the end, his life and death were controlled by the South Korean government, so Dongming Timber must have the ability to make blood.
The timber needed for the construction of the new HSBC building is the first step for Dongming Timber to come back to life. Of course, after that, Chu Huan will also let Zhulu Real Estate, Hehe International-Wheelock, and Landmark use the raw materials of Dongming Timber. In a few years, when the hometown starts to build a large number of construction projects, Dongming Timber can also set up a branch factory in the hometown, and it will definitely get a lot of shares at that time!
Not to mention the two super projects Chu Huan invested in in his hometown!
"Then wish us a happy cooperation!"
Chu Huan said with a smile.
Zheng Zhouyong also said very happily at this time: "I wish us a happy cooperation!"
Now that the matter of cooperation has been finalized, the next thing to talk about is who is the person who will specifically connect with Jiaku on this matter.
At this time, Zheng Zhouyong's three sons all looked at their father with burning eyes, hoping that they could be the ones in charge of this matter. Although the matter of rebuilding the new HSBC building has not yet been determined, the three of them all know this. Definitely not a small project.
If they can take charge of this project, then for them, it will definitely be a plus in front of their father.
Especially this matter is to cooperate with Chu Huan's Jiaku. Although they also know the relationship between their father and Chu Huan, it is impossible to change because of this cooperation, but one thing is certain, if they are in Xiangjiang and Chu Huan If there is no way to make money through cooperation with Jiaku, then there will be no profitable projects.
So at this time, it can be said that this project is already a stable money-making project.
"Mr. Chu, which of my three sons is the most suitable to cooperate with your Jiaku?" Zheng Zhouyong asked Chu Huan this question very strangely.
This kind of thing should have been decided by Zheng Zhouyong himself, but now he suddenly asked Chu Huan, which made the three sons a little curious.
Chu Huan was actually a little curious, but soon Chu Huan understood the meaning, and said with a smile: "In our Hua country, there is a saying that is to be familiar but not raw. I have only been in contact with the second son before, and I feel that the second Young Master is a very good candidate, of course, this is just my personal suggestion!"
Jung Mong-heon and Jung Mong-joon showed disappointed expressions at the same time, while Zheng Mong-koo couldn't hide the smile on his face.
Zheng Zhouyong said calmly: "Well, since this project is a cooperation between the two of us, it is also appropriate to ask the partner's opinion, but this matter is really too big, so we need to think about it in Hyundai. As for the specific situation, we will notify Director Chu as soon as we have a resolution!"
Chu Huan nodded and said with a smile, "No problem!"
After discussing this matter, the two sides chatted about Ford Motor. Chu Huan is the second largest shareholder of Ford Motor, and Ford Motor is one of the major shareholders of Hyundai Group. Naturally, the two sides will chat about some things up.
But this is enough to chat at the dinner table. After dinner, Chu Huan got up to leave.
When Chu Huan just came to the parking lot, Zheng Mengjiu chased him out, and said to Chu Huan with a smile: "Mr. Chu, thank you so much for what happened just now. I don't know if you have time tonight. Let's go Master Quan, can you relax for a while?"
Chu Huan did not refuse Zheng Mengjiu's invitation, and said with a smile: "Of course!"
Then the two got into their own cars.
Chu Huan, who was sitting in the car, said to Han Yang: "When you find a chance, call Feng Jing later, ask Feng Jing to arrange someone, and find a chance to ask Zheng Mengxian out tomorrow!"
Chu Huan believes that Zheng Zhouyong will definitely not arrange people to cooperate with Jiaku according to his own wishes. Just now Chu Huan proposed Zheng Mengjiu, which actually cut off the possibility of Zheng Mengjiu being responsible for this matter.
It's just that Zheng Mengjiu couldn't think of these.
If Zheng Mong-koo was not responsible for this matter, then only Zheng Mong-heon and Zheng Mong-joon would be left. Looking at the situation of the Zheng family from the perspective of later generations, Zheng Juyong is the one who is more particular about Zheng Mong-hun.
Moreover, Zheng Mengxian also admires his father the most, so the possibility of Zheng Mengxian being in charge of this project is the greatest.
Now what Chu Huan has to do is actually the same as before, the reason why Pu Zhenxing made friends with the brothers of the Zheng family is to completely muddy the water of the Zheng family.
After Zheng Zhou's eternal soul returns to heaven in the future, when the Zheng family is in turmoil, it is the time when Chu Huan is most likely to take over the Hyundai Group.
Han Yang said: "Yes!"
Chu Huan and Zheng Mengjiu came to the private club founded by Quan Zaiguo again. After arriving here, Chu Huan thought of the girl Jin Yanhua, and he didn't know what she was thinking now!
"Chu Dong, thank you for speaking out about what happened just now!"
At this time, there were only Chu Huan and Zheng Mengjiu in the private room, and Zheng Mengjiu took up the wine glass to thank Chu Huan in person.
Chu Huan also picked up the wine glass, and said with a smile: "I just expressed my thoughts, and I am not wrong, after all, I am the most familiar with Mr. Zheng!"
Although Chung Mong-heon was Chung Joo-young's most beloved son, and after his death, Hyundai Group was also handed over to Chung Mong-hun, but in fact, not long after Chung Joo-young passed away in 2001, Chung Mong-koo started a complicated equity operation. Later, it directly announced the decision of Hyundai Motor to separate from Hyundai Group.
In the same year, Hyundai Heavy Industries, which Zheng Mengzhun was in charge of, also announced its separation from Hyundai Group.
After losing these two high-quality assets, Hyundai Group existed in name only, and the scale of the company fell directly outside the top ten in South Korea.
This is not over yet, after Zheng Mengxian had his last dinner with his wife and children two years later, he jumped off the building and committed suicide.
"Haha!" Zheng Mengjiu couldn't help laughing, and said: "Mr. Chu, don't worry, after I take charge of this matter, I will definitely cooperate well with Mr. Chu's company!"
Chu Huan said: "Of course I believe this!"
In fact, no matter who is in charge of the Zheng family, they will cooperate with Chu Huan very well. After all, where is Xiangjiang, it is Chu Huan's headquarters. If there is no nod from Chu Huan, even if they are helping HSBC to build the building , it is impossible to start work smoothly.
After finishing the business, Zheng Mengjiu asked the waiter to bring in the girl he had already called.
After seeing these girls, Chu Huan was slightly disappointed. It wasn't that they weren't pretty, but mainly because they weren't that pretty.
Zheng Mengjiu keenly caught the change in Chu Huan's eyes, but he didn't make a sound, just stood up and preached to Chu Huan.
"Mr. Chu, I'm going outside to explain something, and I'll be right back!"
Chu Huan really didn't know what Zheng Mengjiu wanted to do this time, and did Zheng Mengjiu need to explain something in person?
However, Chu Huan didn't ask Zheng Mengjiu either, but just smiled and said, "I'll wait for Mr. Zheng!"
.
In Zheng Monghun's mansion, Zheng Mongzhun had already left at this time, and only Zheng Mongxian stayed here to accompany Zheng Zhouyong.
"What do you think of the cooperation with Chu Huan?" Sitting on the sofa in his study, Zheng Zhouyong asked Zheng Mengxian.
After thinking for a while, Zheng Mengxian said: "I have been paying attention to the affairs in Xiangjiang. Although Chu Huan now owns Jinmen Construction and Gonghe Construction, the two largest construction companies in Xiangjiang, these two companies do have different interests in their hands. There are few projects, especially Jinmen Construction. Before Chu Huan acquired the land, Jinmen Construction also had a lot of projects outside Xiangjiang.
Now it is really difficult to find manpower to bid for the HSBC Building, so I think it is reasonable for Chu Huan to cooperate with us.
In addition, I think that Chu Huan not only wants to let the raw materials of Wheelock Steel enter this project, but Qingzhou Yingni is now absolutely controlled by Chu Huan, so I think there will definitely be raw materials such as cement by then! "
Zheng Zhouyong nodded, and said, "Then why didn't Chu Huan cooperate with Xiangjiang's construction company, but chose to cooperate with our Hyundai Group instead? In addition, if we can really get this project, can we properly reduce the amount of time spent on Chu Huan? What about taking raw materials in your hand?"
Zheng Mengxian was a little excited at this moment, his father would definitely not ask himself these things for no reason.
"I think Chu Huan will definitely contact Xiangjiang's construction companies, but there are definitely not many that meet the standards, but I don't think this is what we need to pay attention to. In fact, as long as the two construction companies of Chu Huan do not contact us Competing for this project is already a very good thing. As for reducing where Chu Huan gets raw materials, I don't think it is necessary. Xiangjiang is Chu Huan's stronghold.
His control over Xiangjiang is beyond the imagination of outsiders. Since this project is carried out in Xiangjiang, there is no need for us to have some unpleasant things with Chu Huan in this kind of thing. "
Zheng Zhouyong nodded, and suddenly asked, "Did your second brother leave with Chu Huan?"
"yes!"
"Okay, I see, you go back!"
Uh, I have a fever, because there is no way to detect it at home, and I don’t know if it is a sheep, but the fever is really uncomfortable, and the joints of the fingers are also very painful, so today is one chapter, and tomorrow I will see if the situation can be recovered for two more ~
In special times, everyone protect yourself~~
