After the lawyer received the order, he went back to work as required. Chen Zhiwen stayed and flipped through the newspaper for a while. He found that the news page in Hong Kong was really baffling. A cat was trapped in a tree and the fire department rescued it. It was also published in the newspaper. It was also arranged Not a small page.
There are many similar trivial things, or scandals in the entertainment industry, but they seem to be relatively mild, not like the paparazzi style of later generations. Others are some serialized novels, but I am used to reading the fantasy online novels of later generations, this I have long lost interest in reading martial arts novels.
He put the newspaper on the shelf in the coffee shop, borrowed a phone from the bar, hung up after a few rings, and then flipped through a few other books around him. After a while, the phone rang. It was Zhang Yunxue who called.
In 1973, Motorola should have just invented the world's first commercial mobile phone, the predecessor of mobile phones. Obviously, there is no such thing to buy in Hong Kong, and even if it is available, it is useless because there is no infrastructure. Even Apple 14 got it in 1973 Years ago, I couldn’t make any phone calls.
Fortunately, there are still BB phones. You can call the other party and receive the message. Then the BB phone owner will call the nearest phone company to ask for the number, and then call back.
In the eyes of later generations, this was a very troublesome operation, but now people think it is very good and advanced. After all, you can still find the person within half an hour...
We still made an appointment at the previous hotel. When Chen Zhiwen arrived, Zhang Yunxue had just returned.
In just half a day's work, she bought a few clothes and a pair of leather high heels. After putting them on in front of Chen Zhiwen, she even spun around a few times. She studied Latin dance in her previous school and had a great figure.
After a few cool days, Chen Zhiwen got the news. I have found a suitable office building in Central, and I have to wait for Chen Zhiwen to confirm it in person.
"The scenery is really nice, son, how big is this area?" In an office building in the core of Central, a middle-aged lady with fragrant clothes and elegant sideburns stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, looking at the Victoria Harbor not far away and smiling. said.
"Two floors, almost 50,000 square feet (about 5,000 square meters)." Chen Zhiwen replied with a smile. He just looked at the location of several office buildings introduced by Lin Yanming and decided which one to rent. Then he negotiated the price and signed the contract quickly. , because if you don’t hurry up, it will probably be gone.
Although the real estate crisis was severe in 1973, with house prices, stock prices, and rents all plummeting, it hardly affected the buildings located in prime locations in Central, especially the most famous Prince's Building owned by Land.
Prince's Building was built in 1965 and is considered a relatively new building in Central. Although it only has 27 floors, it covers a large area, with each floor covering 25,000 square feet (approximately 2,500 square meters).
After the decision was made, Chen Zhiwen brought his parents here to watch. It happened that his mother Wu Xiuling had just returned from RB.
"Yes, renting such a large area in this place gives people the first impression of strength. I heard that the global shipping company of the shipping king Bao Yugang is also in the Prince's Building?" Wu Xiuling asked.
"Yes, they are on the top six floors." Chen Zhiwen nodded and said. The two floors I rented are the 16th and 17th floors, and the view is already very good. The highest floor, the 27th floor, is obviously better.
Although Hong Kong is dominated by British-funded foreign companies, these foreign companies have been established for hundreds of years. Except for Swire and Western Bank, the equity interests of several others have long been dispersed. Even in Swire, the family has been inherited for hundreds of years, and the equity within the family has also been dispersed.
The new Chinese rich are all major shareholders of their own companies. Although the company is much smaller, in terms of personal worth, British capital may not be as good as some of the Chinese upstarts.
In April this year, the American media ranked the world's richest people. Pao Yugang was worth US$700-1 billion, making him the new richest Chinese. His reputation was so great that he temporarily overshadowed the four major foreign banks.
Countless Chinese in Hong Kong are proud of Pao Yukang.
Chen Tianfu asked: "Awen, you rent such a big office building and the location is so good. What business are you planning to do? You won't really plan to make plastics, right? It is estimated that few plastic factories in Hong Kong can match this profit. The rent of an office building.”
"Of course not." Chen Zhiwen smiled mysteriously.
"How much is the rent here?" Wu Xiuling asked curiously. She didn't know the price yet.
"It's about HK$50,000 a month." Chen Zhiwen shrugged and said. The monthly rent for Grade A office buildings in Central, Hong Kong is about HK$5-6 per square foot, and the Prince's Building, the core of Central, is the best quality of Hong Kong Land. It is normal for the price of office buildings to double.
Most factories in Hong Kong can't make a profit of HK$50,000 a month, let alone plastic factories that can only do OEM work.
"It's quite expensive." Wu Xiuling was a little surprised, but she didn't say anything else. To do big business, you must show off your strength. Working in Central, Hong Kong is a symbol of strength.
