A Volkswagen left the gate of the Hong Kong Government House without attracting the slightest attention. Many such cars come and go from here every day.
"Chen Sheng, so it means both things have happened?" Zhou Jiayang said happily after hearing the boss's general description.
"The matter of Hung Hom Port has been decided, and the Hong Kong government has given back 10%. This is actually because our next large-scale investments can drive Hong Kong's economy and employment on a large scale. The Midea Industrial Park should also be 89% If it is placed in a place like Yuen Long, it can indeed cooperate with the Hong Kong government, and the Hong Kong government will also benefit." Chen Zhiwen nodded and said.
"That's fine. The two places I originally chose in Kowloon have many aborigines or small factories. If we wanted to acquire them all, we would probably have to work hard," Zhou Jiayang said.
"There is basically no complete and undeveloped land in the Kowloon Peninsula. Those real estate developers are not blind." Chen Zhiwen said with a smile.
There are actually two options for where to build the Midea Industrial Park. One is to build it behind the Kowloon Peninsula, but the land price is definitely not cheap. This kind of place itself is also the location for developing commercial communities. No matter what you say, the Hong Kong government will not It may be sold to you for free or at a low price, and you also have to deal with the indigenous people on this land, which is quite annoying, but the advantage is that the real estate income will be higher after the industrial transfer in the next ten years.
Or you can choose a suitable place to build a factory not far or near Kowloon. The advantage is that the land price is cheap, it is also very convenient, and it is easy to start work. As for the employee problem, it is actually not difficult to solve. Just build the dormitories. Midea Red Bull Morning We have an all-inclusive policy for our internal employees.
Of the two options, the latter is actually more suitable, because compared to future real estate income, current factory construction involves the future foundation of multiple industries, and this is the most important thing.
As for the Yuen Long New Town proposed by the Hong Kong government, Chen Zhiwen actually considered it to be a choice between his two plans, but he could not propose it himself. After the Hong Kong government proposed it, he could take the opportunity to get some benefits.
"Then over in Hung Hom, I need to invite construction companies to bid immediately." Zhou Jia Yang said with a smile.
The development of the Hung Hom Port site was a strategy that was decided a few months ago. Therefore, Hutchison Whampoa commissioned two design companies to carry out residential design very early on.
This is not the case with Pei Jinming. He is a top architectural design master, not a master of Hong Kong residential design. In terms of ability in this area, Master Pei may not be as good as a local expert?
The floor area ratio is calculated based on the average data of nearby residential buildings. If the floor area ratio provided by the Hong Kong government is low, Hutchison Whampoa will naturally try to negotiate again. If the negotiation cannot be made, a few buildings can be removed.
In short, it is better to spend a little more money and be prepared first. Anyway, the cost of designing an ordinary community like this is much different than having Master Bei design an office building.
As for the bidding for construction companies, no matter how urgent the time is, they will not start publicizing it before the industrial-commercial conversion is completed. If you operate it wisely, the Hong Kong government will be sorry for itself if it doesn't kill you.
"Let's spread the word first. Once the industrial transfer procedures are completed, we will formally invite bids immediately. However, there is a condition. All construction workers need to pay the most basic living expenses every month. They cannot be dragged by real estate companies like other real estate companies. Construction companies, construction companies drag their contractors, and contractors drag their workers, this is what I promised Governor MacLehose," said Chen Zhiwen.
Zhou Jiayang said: "Understood, I heard that several construction workers jumped off the building recently because they could not get their wages. Some were even delayed for two years without being paid, which caused some human tragedies." MacLean Governor Hao probably made this request with this in mind."
"The most important thing is the economy. If the economy is not good, society will have a lot of problems." Chen Zhiwen said, shaking his head gently.
There will be no absolute fairness in any society, no matter how perfect the law is, but when the economy is growing rapidly, everyone can benefit. The difference is that the strong get more, but the weak can also get some benefits. In this way , the society will be stable, which is the fundamental reason why so many countries attach importance to the economy. Without the economy, there is nothing. With the economy, people can live and work in peace and contentment, and the government can have tax revenue to develop infrastructure and military, forming the foundation of a country.
Although it is a bit cliché, real estate is indeed the fastest way to drive the economy, because it can not only bring a large number of jobs, but also create countless "virtual wealth", which is also part of consumer confidence. With consumer confidence, everyone will Going out to consume and buy things will create more jobs and form a virtuous cycle.
Zhou Jiayang nodded and said: "Chen Sheng is right. Hong Kong law does have certain protection for low-level construction workers. However, so many real estate companies went bankrupt in the past two years, and construction companies went bankrupt even more. No matter how good the law is, people will go bankrupt." It’s useless anymore.”
"This is still a matter for the government. We just need to take care of our own men." Chen Zhiwen said: "Christmas + New Year's Day are coming soon, and there should be nothing major at Hutchison Whampoa. Let's rest during this period. Next year, we will fight again. One year will allow Hutchison to truly turn around."
"Okay, thank you Chen Sheng." Zhou Yang said with a smile. After various efforts in the past six months, Hutchison Whampoa can be said to have stabilized the major creditor banks in terms of debt, but the debt owed is still not enough. Less.
But various difficulties have been slowly resolved in 1975, and next year will be the time when various rewards are obtained.
January 1, 1976, Repulse Bay, Chen Family Villa:
"Come, come, come. Eat meatballs." Wu Xiuling held a plate of meatballs and put the meatballs into the hot pot with a smile.
Today is New Year's Day. The Chen family has given all the housekeepers and other servants a holiday. Of course, it is not to save money, but there is no need to keep these people away from home during the holiday. Instead, they come out to work. In addition, they are also given a Instead of red envelopes, treat them as festive red envelopes.
It is also fun for the whole family to prepare meals alone. Today, the Chen family decided to have hot pot at noon. In the morning, they made meatballs together and bought some vegetables, shrimps, meat slices, etc.
After a while, the hot pot started to steam, and the smoke billowed. Fortunately, it was not at home, but in the sunroom on the top floor.
It was raining moderately outside, but there was no coolness in the sunroom. The entire villa had a constant temperature system that controlled all rooms, including the sunroom and garage.
"Dad, what happened to the mainland thing you mentioned last time?" The family gathered together, and Chen Zhiwen suddenly thought about this matter again.
"Already contacted, but because there is no basic information, just a name, and I can only ask a professional to draw a picture based on my memory, and let their people look for it in the school in Yanjing City first," Chen Tianfu said.
"Are you looking for a needle in a haystack?" Wu Xiuling said.
Chen Tianfu shrugged and said, "There's nothing I can do about it. Anyway, if I pay 20,000 Hong Kong dollars, the other party will treat me as a major customer. I also told them that the earlier they find him, the more money I will give him. If you find it within half a year, you will be given 300,000 yuan, and if you find it within half a year, you will be given 200,000 yuan, and so on. If you can’t find it again, there will be nothing you can do.”
"There's no need to worry. Maybe one day the country will allow us ordinary people to enter. Then it might be more convenient for us to go to the mainland and find some really capable people." Chen Zhiwen said.
In three years, the country will officially open the door to reform. My identity is enough to let Xinhua News Agency help with this matter. This is the right way, but it is hard to say what the future will be like now, and I can't give up my father's hope now.
"Yes, I also feel that there is this trend. I really want to go back to my hometown to see it." Chen Tianfu said with a smile.
"It will be very soon, don't worry." Chen Zhiwen said with a smile: "Any country needs economic support, and it is the same at home. The US dollar will always be a hard currency."
"Then we have to work hard." Chen Tianfu smiled and said: "In 1976, we will set a small goal first. I, Hengyi, will make a net profit of 100 million."
On January 6, Chen Zhiwen, who received a call from the Government House, once again secretly came to the Government House and held a one-hour closed-door negotiation with MacLehota on the final agreement.
On January 7, Hutchison Whampoa officially announced that it had reached an agreement with the Hong Kong government to convert 2 million square feet of industrial land in the former Hung Hom Port from industrial to commercial at a price of HK$430 million, with a floor area ratio of 5.5. It will soon be for development.
At this point, the whole Hong Kong was in an uproar.
