Chu shrugged forward, if you can be the best, if not, then think of a way.

When there is a run on the bank one day, I don't believe that Standard Chartered will not look for foreign help.

Or, at that time, it is not to ask for shares. Rather, in order to prevent the cash and gold they had in their bank from being withdrawn, the scum had to take the initiative to ask for his own shares.

If you really can't do it, then take a stake in Hang Seng Bank.

Hang Seng's registered capital last year was 30 million, and the actual total assets were only 15 million Hong Kong dollars.

It shouldn't be difficult to spend a few million on shares. After all, Hang Seng at this time is really just a small character.

Thinking of this, Chu looked forward at Huang Weixin, "Ah Huang, help me make an appointment with a few shareholders of Hang Seng Bank, and if you are free one day, you will go to the backbone branch in Causeway Bay for dinner." ”

Huang Weixin nodded hurriedly and walked out quickly to make a phone call.

Juan knew that Chu Xiangqian was forcing Standard Chartered to compromise, but when he thought that 2 million pounds and 50 million Hong Kong dollars in cash, if they were deposited in Hang Seng Bank, it would be an exaggeration to say that the fame and credibility of this small bank would be unlimited.

Once there are more depositors, not only will it be a competitor to Standard Chartered, but HSBC will certainly not want to see the strength of Chinese banks become stronger.

Juan hurriedly said to Chu Xiangqian, "Chu Sheng, please give us a few days, I believe that the board of directors will make a wise choice." ”

Chu Xiangqian smiled and nodded, if he could become a shareholder of Standard Chartered at the same time, he would also become a shareholder of Hang Seng.

Then he will basically be able to become the big money behind the scenes of Chinese capital in the future.

And it seems that Hang Seng failed to hold on to the change of major shareholders in the end during the two banking runs in '63 and '65.

At that time, a bank was unable to convert $7 million for customers, causing a large number of savings customers of this bank to flock to the bank to withdraw money.

Because there are so many people running on the bank, the bank simply can't take out so much cash in a short period of time.

As a result, a number of banks were implicated, including Hang Seng.

It survived for the first time, but it was only two years later that there was another thunderstorm, and it was at that time that Hang Seng's control changed.

With this example, Chu Xiangqian naturally would not let go of this kind of good opportunity.

And after he became a shareholder, he could also lobby Standard Chartered to provide Hang Seng with unlimited savings guarantee to survive the difficult period of being run on.

Then expand the business, take advantage of the momentum on those failed banks, and bite a part of the business.

At 10 o'clock in the morning, Chu Xiangqian said to Juan, "My requirements are not high, 5% of the shares, and give me a seat on the board of directors." ”

Juan nodded with a solemn expression, the shares are easy to say, but the seats on the board of directors are difficult to manage.

Having one more sensible person is equivalent to weakening the rights of other sensibles to a certain extent, which is basically no fun in Juan's view.

The biggest problem is that the influence of Chinese sensibility is too great.

It is so big that as long as Chu Xiangqian is sincere to the members of the bank's bureau, there will inevitably be countless Chinese businessmen who will take the initiative to move closer to him.

If Chu Qianqian pulled a group of people to grow together, these people would inevitably take the initiative to push him to a higher position.

This is the result of mutual benefit, but for the British, it is the Chinese businessmen who are competing with them for the market.

The consequences can never be predicted.

Without making Juan think much about it, Hader and the others had already walked into the conference room.

Juan could only say goodbye first, but left Lu Anjie behind to be the representative of Standard Chartered to provide financial services for Chu Xiangqian.

In the chess and card room of the Peninsula Hotel last night, it was basically the end of the conversation.

A lot of details were determined, and the contract was reviewed again, and it was busy until more than 3 o'clock in the afternoon before the contract for the establishment of a pulley luggage company and share distribution was officially signed.

As for the patent, it was naturally in Chu Xiangqian's own hands.

Subsequently, a contract was signed granting the new company a patent for a period of 5 years.

All that's left is to send the money into Standard Chartered's new corporate account.

Every month, Chu Xiangqian promised to provide 450 pieces of the best cowhide and 1050 pieces of the best sheepskin. There are also 90 fox skins and 90 shark skins.

The final negotiated price was £15 for cowhide, but it had to be of the highest quality.

Sheepskin £5.

Fox Fur Chu insisted on 50 pounds forward, and said that he had exported 50 pounds of fox fur to London.

This matter is not difficult to investigate, Lu Anjie only made a few phone calls to determine the authenticity.

Only then did Ge Bai and the others agree.

There is no need to dispute the shark skin, after Chu Qianqian went out, he deliberately brought the shark skin, as well as the cow, sheep and fox skins into the lawyer and showed them to everyone.

A shark skin over two and a half meters in length costs 100 pounds.

The only thing that has not been negotiated is the leather of the horse, and the biggest problem is that Chu Xiangqian himself cannot guarantee how many sheets he will provide stably every month.

After thinking about it, I simply stopped mentioning the matter of horse skin.

The total price of cattle, sheep, fox and shark skins is £25,500 per month.

It's £306,000 a year, but since it's a stake in goods, no one would stupidly agree to calculate it at £306,000.

Chu Xiangqian thought about it, and simply honestly took out 500,000 pounds and occupied 51% of the shares.

Then in the name of the new company, 306,000 pounds worth of leather will be acquired.

Although it is a little troublesome, there is no need to worry about the future.

And as soon as the contract was signed, he got back £306,000.

However, Chu Xiangqian also used his deposit in Standard Chartered as a guarantee, and will provide no less than the amount of leather stipulated in the contract every month for the next year.

With cash as a guarantee, Hader and the others didn't say much.

Not to mention that Chu Xiangqian is still a major shareholder who holds a controlling stake.

As long as he doesn't do anything that harms the interests of other shareholders, this company is equivalent to Chu Xiangqian having the final say.

As for the 39% shares, how Hader and others distribute them, Chu Qianqian doesn't care.

At the same time, it is also stipulated that the company does not care who he shares the 10% shares that Hader gets, but the company only recognizes one shareholder.

And there is only one vote for the right to vote.

Under the premise that Chu Xiangqian occupies 51% of the shares, voting rights are basically useless.

Almost only one member of the Sensible Council can run to listen to Chu Xiangqian's decision during the meeting.

Listen to the work report of the management again, and if you are in a bad mood, you can find trouble with the management at most.

Moreover, 39% of the shares subscribed by Hader 8 people contributed 780,000 yuan.

Chu Xiangqian's idea was very simple, Ge Bai and the others didn't help themselves on the dock, so they would definitely get more money.

Otherwise, even if you are a member of the poker circle, there is no reason to take advantage of others.

Chu Xiangqian gave 500,000, but it changed hands for 306,000.

With the addition of 10% of Hader's 100,000, the new company has just been established and has 1.074 million pounds in hand.

As for the location of the new company, Hader and others insisted that the factory be placed in the Chai Wan Industrial Zone.

Chu Xiangqian didn't know until this time that this group of guys had actually won 2 hectares of land in Chai Wan.

Now as soon as it changed hands, it made a profit of 25% and sold for 180,000 pounds.

Chu Xiangqian was so angry that he almost wanted to scold, but he thought about it.

£360,000 equals HK$2,880,000, and 2 hectares equals 30 acres of land.

Although 96,000 Hong Kong dollars per acre of land is a bit expensive, it also saves the trouble of buying land.

And if you ask Nelson for help, the 25% rebate is already cheap.

Chu Xiangqian directly decided to enclose the 30 acres of land with a wall.

Then build 4 warehouse-style factories first, and if you are fast, you can build it in a month.

But because I still have to buy machinery, I don't have to work in two shifts day and night.

Chu Xiangqian asked in his heart, "Are you going to import machines from England or from the United States?" ”

Unexpectedly, Hader said directly, "The island country's is cheap and easy to use, if you don't object, I'll go to the island country businessman I know to talk about it." ”

Bridge, Ge Bai and the others shrugged, but anyone who has been in contact with the island country knows that what Hader said is right.

Although the quality is not necessarily the best, the price must be the lowest.

And the attitude is surprisingly good, as soon as there is a problem, a phone call over, the other party will send someone to repair it on the same day.

If it is an engineer from England or the United States, three days is already considered fast.

Only then did Chu Xiangqian realize that it was still the 60s, and the island country's economy had just shown signs of taking off.

But it's just a sign, and even the islanders themselves dare not imagine that in 20 years, their economy will reach 70% of that of the United States.

The total market value of all real estate properties in Tokyo alone claims to be able to buy the entire United States.

——

When the little trick is at a low point, his attitude has always been excellent.

No, it's like the whole of East Asia, it's basically like that.

Decades later, the Celestial Empire enterprises have a very good attitude when facing customers in Europe, America and island countries.

This made Chu Xiangqian a little helpless, after all, he didn't know anything about this machine.

If you know the drawings, you can also find the Celestial Empire to order a machine.

But after thinking about it, maybe I can ask the Celestial Empire if they can come up with a plan by themselves.

After all, it is not difficult to produce pull rods and pulleys, as well as machines for making suitcases, as long as the money given is enough, the Celestial Empire will definitely be able to build them.

Of course, the price certainly cannot exceed the offer of the island nation.

Otherwise, Chu Xiangqian himself would be inclined to island country enterprises.

As for letting the inner bucket produce pull rods and pulleys, Chu Xiangqian didn't even think about it.

The new suitcases exported to Europe and the United States, once they are caught, let alone sell products, there may be shameless countries, on the grounds that the levers and pulleys are produced by the Celestial Empire.

Ignore patents outright.

Thinking of this, Chu Xiangqian simply didn't mention the design and production of machines in the mainland.

You can't ruin your multimillion-pound business just to give the Celestial Empire an order, right?

Everyone saw Chu frowning forward, but they didn't speak, knowing that he probably agreed.

Instead, Lu Anjie took the opportunity to say, "Chu Sheng, can I make a call?" ”

Chu stepped forward, and Lu Anjie hurriedly walked to his side and explained in a low voice.

Chu Xiangqian nodded, and not long after, Juan, the old guy, returned to the law firm with a slight sweat in his head.

As soon as he entered the office, he put a document in front of Chu Xiangqian.

After Chu Qianqian finished reading it, he nodded to Juan and motioned for him to explain to Ge Bai and the others.

Hu An hurriedly said, "Chen Hsong Machinery Factory, which was established the year before last, although it was established for a short time, its strength is still very good.

Last year alone, we have manufactured and designed various types of machines with a total value of more than 7 million Hong Kong dollars for local factories.

Chu Sheng and gentlemen, it is better to give this machinery factory a chance and let them come up with a plan within three days.

If the design plan is approved, give them some time to come up with specific design data.

Finally, if you compare it with the machines of the island countries, the comprehensive evaluation is not low, and the price is cheap. ”

Chu looked forward at Hader and the others, and the eight ghost guys shrugged, there was still time to wait for a few days.

Besides, even if you talk with people from the island countries, the negotiation time will not be short.

On the contrary, after the negotiation, it will not be long before it is shipped.

In the end, it is not only necessary to debug the machine, but also to train qualified workers first.

If this can be done in three months, it is already considered fast.

After getting Chu Xiangqian's permission, Juan hurriedly walked out of the conference room to make a call.

Chu Xiangqian looked at Juan's back and said with a smile, "No wonder Juan Montero was able to sit in the big class of Standard Chartered on Hong Kong Island, just running back with the information."

If I were the chairman of Standard Chartered, I would also let him do the overclass. ”

The others smiled and nodded, as Englishmen, Hader, the 8 ghosts, naturally knew that most of England was synonymous with arrogance and laziness.

Sometimes their British bosses can't stand the inefficiency of the British police below.

This makes it seem that Juan is indeed a qualified senior class.

After chatting a few words, everyone began to discuss what the name of the new company would be and what trademark to use.

Chu Xiangqian naturally wanted to hear the advice of Hader and the others.

Unexpectedly, these 8 ghosts actually hit the head of the champion knight.

However, after listening to Charles's words, Chu Xiangqian suddenly felt that Charles and the others were really right.

The Triple Crown horse is famous enough that there will be enough newspapers to report to the champion knight.

By the way, things related to this horse will also attract the interest of the media and the audience.

It's just to let the champion knight endorse, if it's just your own company, it's okay to say. Straight to use is.

But if the new company is like Charles and others said, it will be called a champion directly, and the trademark will use the image of a champion knight, that is, a horse.

Charles and others took advantage of it.

Ge Bai and the others have cooperated with Chu Xiangqian for so long, and they basically know his character and style.

He said with a smile, "Chu, if you agree, we are willing to pay 200,000 pounds, or get permission." ”

Chu Xiangqian had nothing to say now.

This price may be extremely low in the future, but in this era, it is already a high price.

"Simply 100,000 for a championship, if you win the triple crown and break the record of the competition, you will increase the offer by 100,000."

Hader and the others frowned and thought about it, muttered and discussed for a while, and soon felt that this proposal was not unacceptable.

The triple crown is 300,000, and the record of the three games is also 300,000.

The first race has been completed, and the champion knight has also won the championship and broken the record.

After the second and third races, they received a lot of attention each time.

If you take out the trolley pulley box in advance, the media in England alone will report it in a big way.

This effect is indeed no less than the advertising benefit brought by 200,000 pounds.

Not to mention, this effect will always be there as the champion knights continue to win championships in the future.

One investment, at least two or three years of benefit.

It's just that there are not many days left until late June, the second crown.

Second, a batch of samples must be produced as soon as possible.

Chu Xiangqian thought for a while and said, "Leave the sample matter to me." There should be several sets and dozens of crates produced in three days. ”
