Jiang Hua directly brought Zhu Duolu to the company, took out a box of cigars from the drawer, threw one to him, and said with a smile: "Authentic imported cigars from the place of origin, Mr. Zhu will taste them."

He rarely smokes cigars himself. This box was given to him by others. He keeps it in his office and sometimes uses it to entertain clients.

"Mr. Jiang, let's get straight to the point. I don't care what you do. I only care about how much money you are willing to pay to acquire the shares in my hands."

Judolo skillfully cut the cigar, lit it, sat on the sofa, and took a puff.

"I don't plan to pay a penny."

Jiang Hua lit a cigar himself and leaned on the boss's chair leisurely.

"What do you mean, Jiang is always playing tricks on me?"

The fat on Zhu Duolu's face jumped a few times, and his tone was a bit annoyed.

"I heard that when HSBC first came to Xiangjiang to open a branch, it was your Zhu family who used one of their own buildings as office space for HSBC?"

Jiang Hua changed the topic and talked about another matter in a calm tone.

The building he mentioned just now is naturally not the current HSBC Building. After all, in that era, a five-story small house was considered a tall building.

This was all from the old almanac many years ago, when Zhu Duolu was probably not even born yet.

"What does this have to do with what we are going to talk about?"

Zhu Duolu suppressed the anger in his heart and asked.

In his opinion, if Jiang Hua was just trying to entertain him, there was no need to talk about all this.

"After so many years, things and people have changed, but I know that part of the property rights of the HSBC Building is in the hands of Chairman Zhu."

Jiang Hua continued the conversation just now.

The Zhu family can be said to be the elders of HSBC Xiangjiang Branch. They are a family that has witnessed the development of a bank.

Over time, the small western-style building that was used as an office space is long gone. It was replaced by the current HSBC Building, which can be regarded as one of the landmark buildings in Xiangjiang.

The Zhu family owns one-third of the property rights in this building.

"Mr. Jiang, let's stop beating around the bush. What exactly do you want to say?"

Zhu Duolu asked impatiently.

HSBC's Xiangjiang branch is in bad shape right now, its stock price is falling every day, and his assets are shrinking every day.

"I want the HSBC Building, even part of it."

The picture of Jianghua shows a poor view.

"Okay, ten billion!"

Zhu Duolu didn't even think about it and just opened his mouth.

"We don't need cash transactions, we can do property rights swaps. The Central Plaza Building under construction is currently taken over by us, Liansheng Real Estate. If Mr. Zhu is interested, I can use part of the floors to replace the property rights in your hands."

Jiang Hua said with a smile.

The Central Plaza Building used to be the flagship project of the Li family, but after Li Bancheng's death, the project fell into the hands of Jiang Hua.

If we purely compare the commercial value, the Central Plaza Building is undoubtedly higher than the HSBC Building. After all, the two were built in different years.

Moreover, one is an office building and the other is a comprehensive commercial building. The scope of use is also very different.

Zhu Duolu is not stupid, he can calculate this account clearly, but he is greedy by nature and wants to get more, so he deliberately pretends to be hesitant.

"If Mr. Zhu doesn't want to, then forget it."

Jiang Hua stood up and made a sign to see off the guests.

"No, I didn't say I didn't want to. We have to discuss the replacement method in detail."

Zhu Duolu suddenly became anxious.

It is true that he holds part of the property rights of the HSBC Building, but these properties can neither be rented nor sold. They are completely different from the properties in the Central Plaza Building.

"My goal is the overall property rights of the HSBC Building. The more Director Zhu can help me get it, the more I will give you."

Jiang Hua smiled and made his own conditions.

Zhu Duolu only holds one-third of the property rights of HSBC Tower, and the other part is scattered among other shareholders.

He doesn't care how Zhu Duolu talks about it, he only cares about the results.

"Mr. Jiang, judging from your attitude, you are planning to kill HSBC. If HSBC fails, what will happen to the equity in my hand?"

Zhu Duolu's little eyes rolled a few times, and now he felt both excited and conflicted.

"As far as I know, apart from the property rights of the HSBC Tower, your remaining shares are actually not very much. My personal suggestion is to cut off the shares while you can still sell them."

Jiang Hua took a puff of his cigar and said carelessly.

In the earliest days, the Zhu family invested in real estate. After so many years of development, the Zhu family's shares are mainly concentrated in the property rights of the HSBC Building.

Zhu Duolu's personal shareholding ratio is actually not much, especially after he was deprived of his directorship, his shareholdings seemed somewhat insignificant.

"Let me think about it."

The expression on Zhu Duolu's face was uncertain.

When Jiang Hua and Zhu Duolu were negotiating, Ding Huishan was serving tea and water nearby. Seeing that Zhu Duolu was a little entangled, she said: "Director Zhu, your personal shareholding is a trivial matter. Cashing out the family's industry in HSBC is the most important thing."

The most important thing.”

"Real estate won't run away, so you can cash it out at any time."

Zhu Duolu retorted unconvinced.

"I would like to ask, if the HSBC Xiangjiang Branch closes down, will the market value of HSBC Tower plummet?"

Ding Huishan smiled and refilled the teacup in front of Zhu Duolu.

Jiang Hua didn't say anything and leaned leisurely on the boss's chair. With Ding Huishan charging him, he didn't need to put pressure on Zhu Duolu himself.

"Mr. Jiang, that's amazing. You didn't spend a penny, so you let me act as a cow or a horse for you."

Zhu Duolu's expression changed for a while, and he gave a thumbs up.

"What Zhu Dong said is serious. You are working for your own interests. What does it have to do with me?"

Jiang Hua held the cigar between his fingers, shook it and said.

"I have a request. I can help Mr. Jiang with the other two-thirds of the property rights of the HSBC Tower. But if you negotiate, I will take a commission according to industry rules."

Zhu Duolu's small eyes were shining with greed.

"No problem, I'm a very generous person."

Jiang Hua exhaled a puff of cigar smoke and said.

"Okay, then I hope we can have a happy cooperation."

Zhu Duolu stood up with a smile and stretched out his hand to Jiang Hua.

After Zhu Duolu left, Ding Huishan put away the tea, and the cup Zhu Duolu drank from was thrown into the trash can with disgust.

"Mr. Jiang, do you really plan to use the Central Plaza Building to replace that fat pig?"

She asked reluctantly.

The Central Plaza Building has attracted widespread attention since its establishment. The Li family has invested a lot of effort in this project. The property prices here can be described as the price of every inch of land.

"One thing you probably don't know is that our next goal at Lend Lease Properties is to focus on developing the New Territories. Once the New Territories are developed successfully, the status of Central will inevitably be affected. The core business district will move northward, which is the general trend."

Jiang Hua stood up and pointed at the map of Hong Kong on the wall.

In the changes of any city, the development of new urban areas will inevitably affect the business district of the old city. It is true that Central is the core business district of Xiangjiang now, but looking ten years from now, where will the core business district of Xiangjiang be?

Put a question mark.

"Mr. Jiang, you are so courageous!"

Ding Huishan held the tea cup and said with admiration.
