Chapter 1175 Cruise Line
Night falls.
Just now, Han Xuan and his grandfather went to eat cut noodles with their knives and now they touched their stomachs with their hands and burped a few times.
Like the mainland, the chefs at the ramen restaurant have "the most exquisite knife skills in the world", and they can cut beef slices so thin that they are really not enough to even plug the teeth.
The owner of the ramen restaurant was stingy and did not give him any face because it was Han Xuan. There were only a few bowls of beef that were about eight slices.
The ordinary cut noodles are 15 Hong Kong dollars, and after adding eight pieces, it becomes 25, which makes him wonder if he used the beef from his own snow mountain ranch. Other beefs would not be so expensive no matter what.
The life of a rich man is not as high as people think. At least the Han family is not that exaggerated. As long as the environment is clean, even those small shops will eat the same, but they don’t know how to use public dishes and chopsticks, they are all disposable.
Mr. Han retains the tradition of the older generation, likes to eat salted duck eggs, pickles, etc. In the morning, he uses them with a bowl of porridge, which makes it particularly delicious. He will pickle them by himself when he has time.
Now, they are waiting for the yacht to drive from Macau at the Star Pier near Edinburgh Square in Central.
There is a big bell on the dock that was given to Jardine Mahjong by the Belgian prince and then transferred to Tianxing by Jardine Mahjong.
It is not far from Han Xuan and others. It is the last mechanical clock tower in Xiangjiang. The clock is reported every fifteen minutes and is one of the most famous landmarks in Central.
This clock is calling out the time, it is already 7:15. There is wind at night and the temperature is much lower than during the day. Many people walk along the seaside to enjoy the night view of Victoria Harbour.
Anya's pink and white hair was blown by the wind, and she was wearing a short-sleeved shirt that was the same as Han Xuan. She chatted with her grandma with a smile, telling her experiences in Korea a few days ago.
In fact, Grandma Han Xuan wanted her grandson to find a Chinese as her daughter-in-law. She was used to the conflicts caused by different ideas and concepts.
But if the grandson-daughter-in-law is Anya, she thinks she can accept it.
When the girl talked, she smiled. Although this girl was a little different from ordinary people, she couldn't make any mistakes in terms of personality or politeness, and she could easily have a good impression of her.
He reached out to help Anya get her hair that was blown by the wind and said angrily: "Don't dye her hair in the future. Your original hair color looks pretty good, but it looks good too."
Others dyed this color like crazy, but it looks very good for your skin tone and it will only hurt your hair. I also dyed it when I was young, and later I cut it off and stayed for a few years before I grew up again."
"Yeah, I won't do it anymore."
Anya said well-behavedly...
The wind is very comfortable on your body. Han Xuan is enjoying the night view of Victoria Harbor. On the other side of the harbor is Tsim Sha Tsui, Kowloon, and the dense buildings are quite beautiful.
Beside him, Fat Ding was chasing other children's remote control car to play with. He seemed to like that thing very much, and he was so tired that he didn't stop.
He stared at it for a while, thinking that he would also buy an electric remote-controlled car, so that the fat cat could chase after it and exercise to lose weight. This guy was almost ready to become a ball.
The phone rings, interrupting Han Xuan's thoughts.
After he took out his phone, he saw the contact name on the screen saying "Jerry Grandhoff". This is the newly appointed CEO of China Merchants Bank after the integration of China Merchants Bank. He once served as the head of the European Investment Department at Citibank.
After answering and saying hello and asking him what happened, Grandhoff said: "
That's right, a Boston super rich man, Mr. Gerald Earl, recently went bankrupt due to a failure to invest in a Japanese supermarket company.
He used 17.4% stake in Royal Caribbean Cruise Company and some other industries to lend us $950 million to our bank last year, and now he is unable to repay the debt.
I want to ask you, should you accept this part of the shares directly, or settle the assets after the auction?"
"Which Japanese supermarket went bankrupt?"
After Han Xuan asked, he continued: "Tell me the situation of the Royal Caribbean Cruise Company, I don't know much about it."
"It's Japan's Yakone Company. This supermarket company now has nearly 500 branches. Some time ago, news suddenly came that the capital chain broke and was about to go bankrupt.
Mr. Gerald Earl, who used a large sum of money to acquire 14% of its shares, and later increased his holdings one after another. Now the market value of those stocks has fallen by 80%, and his own shipping company has not had a good time recently. Just over an hour ago, I got the news that he jumped from the Empire State Building and hope that God will bless him.
Regarding Royal Caribbean Cruise Company, I think the company has good development potential. It is listed on the New York Stock Exchange and the Oslo Stock Exchange respectively, with a total market value of about $5.6 billion.
There are 16 luxury cruise ships under it, most of which are new ships, and several are currently under construction and will be put into use one after another. Last year, the profit of more than 174 million US dollars was made.
I have sent the specific situation to your email address. There are still several months before the formal liquidation. You can think about it slowly. Just now, several companies have tried to contact our bank and bought that part of the shares at a high price, but I think you may be interested..."
The other party used the cruise company's shares to mortgage it. Now that I have passed away, I am unable to repay this part of the debt. According to regulations, these shares have been used to pay off the debt and use the funds obtained to repay the loan after the auction.
Han Xuan heard that this cruise company owns so many luxury cruise ships and was very interested in it, so he said, "You keep it first, and then decide after I read the specific information. Maybe I will buy it from the bank in my private name."
"Okay, I understand. Then I won't reply to interested buyers for the time being. Remember to notify me after you have considered..."
Grandpa Guo Muzhou asked him: "Royal Caribbean Cruise Company? Has something happened?"
"No……"
Han Xuan told his grandfather and grandma about the content of the call just now. His grandma smiled and said, "I know a little about this. The old man has been in contact with Japan's Yakeng Company since the first two months and is trying to take over some of its industries.
Speaking of which, among the reasons for the bankruptcy of Yaohan, there are also companies such as Sos and Walmart that are seizing the market. It has expanded too quickly, resulting in capital problems. In addition, the profit is not as high as our Sos Group. Your grandfather had expected that something would happen sooner or later."
When Han Xuan gloated and said, "It's better to wait a little longer."
Thailand's economic crisis will definitely affect Japan this time. Many Japanese businessmen's main industries are in Southeast Asia. I can guess that they will suffer heavy losses, and the price given by the acquisition will be lower at that time..."
In the distance, a huge white yacht drove towards Tianxing Pier.
