Orchid TV Factory has a lot of money, and Wang Weidong decided to use Hong Kong City as a springboard for Orchid Group to go global, so he paid great attention to his face in Hong Kong City.
At first, Deputy Director Niu was sent to select a site in Hong Kong City.
Queen's Road in this era was the most prosperous area in Hong Kong City, and it was also the most important financial and commercial district in Hong Kong City.
Many multinational companies have their headquarters here.
The Orchid Group's first choice was naturally here. After asking about the rent, the eldest son of Deputy Factory Niu was so scared that he didn't even eat dinner, so he called Wang Weidong.
Just kidding, the monthly rent for a shop with an area of about 2,400 square feet (about 240 square feet) is as high as 3,000 Hong Kong dollars, which is nearly 2,600 yuan converted into RMB.
These rents can buy a house of 100 square meters in Ningzhou.
Deputy Director Niu suggested that Wang Weidong set up the headquarters in Kowloon Walled City.
Kowloon Walled City was originally a military building, and its city walls were used to build forts. After a long period of war, it gradually became deserted.
The homeless people in Hong Kong City began to move into Kowloon Walled City.
In the beginning, there was no rent here, and all the houses were ownerless, so more and more people came here.
As the number of people increased, the residents of Kowloon Walled City began to build houses on their own.
There is no blueprint, no planning, and no unified management.
The houses are built like unpruned shrub branches, spreading wantonly in all directions.
In order to save land, most of these buildings have no floor spacing and are almost wall to wall.
With the passage of time, the once low Diaolou Walled City grew into the towering and disorderly Kowloon Walled City through the stacking of bricks and tiles and the pouring of cement.
Being in the Kowloon Walled City, people look up and cannot even see the blue sky.
Due to the complicated historical issues here, the policemen of Hong Kong City have no right to enter the Kowloon Walled City.
The Kowloon Walled City became a "three no matter" zone.
Here, strength is king. For many people from the mainland who want to get ahead in the Hong Kong City, the first place they choose is the Kowloon Walled City.
After Deputy Director Niu came to Hong Kong City, Orchid TV Factory opened up relationships in Kowloon Walled City through customers on the southern coast.
Whenever night falls, Kowloon Walled City falls into chaos. No one dares to knock on the wooden door painted with blue orchids.
That's why Deputy Director Niu had the idea to set up the Orchid Group's headquarters in Kowloon Walled City.
However, as a time traveler, Wang Weidong knew that the Kowloon Walled City had become a thorn in the side of the Hong Kong authorities, and a large number of police officers would soon be sent to raid it.
What Orchid Group needs is a stable environment.
Moreover, Wang Weidong remembered a piece of news he had seen in his previous life.
In the 1970s, a man from Hong Kong spent 200,000 yuan to buy a shop, and forty years later he successfully sold it for more than 5 billion yuan. The annual rent for that shop is 6 million.
This is a huge profit.
That is to say, Orchid TV Factory currently does not have much funds. Otherwise, if it buys dozens of shops, it will not have to do anything.
Just lie down and win.
So Wang Weidong asked Deputy Factory Manager Niu to find out if there were any shops for sale on Queen's Road.
Not to mention, in this year and age, the situation in Hong Kong City is unstable. Those wealthy people have begun to move overseas, and some people are actually selling their shops.
There are five bunks in total and more than a thousand bungalows. The guy who was in a hurry to run away only wanted less than one million yuan.
Without any hesitation, Wang Weidong asked Deputy Factory Director Niu to directly take over and transform it into the headquarters of Orchid Group.
I have to say that Deputy Director Niu’s thinking is still very upright.
The five facades are all decorated in bright red, especially the big red signboard with small yellow stars printed on it, which looks solemn and solemn from a distance.
"Factory director, the first floor is the office area. On weekdays, we are responsible for receiving customers from all over the world. The salesmen are all from our Orchid TV factory, and they are absolutely reliable.
The second floor is where employees rest.
When we were renovating, I reserved a suite for you.
Since you were busy in the laboratory during the renovation, I did not ask for your opinion.
"
After meeting with the salesmen, Wang Weidong went to the second floor under the guidance of Deputy Director Niu.
Wang Weidong looked at the simple yet classy furnishings in the room and nodded with satisfaction.
This room can not only live comfortably, but also avoid being gossiped about by interested people, especially since the suite next door is not in the house, but a separate room. In this way, Captain Liu can fulfill his duties while living there. Wang Weidong can also maintain enough privacy.
Install the latest version. 】
When choosing who to send to Hong Kong City to run the Hong Kong City office, Deputy Director Niu was actually not the best choice.
Although he often travels around the country, he has never been to Hong Kong City. Moreover, the words in Hong Kong City were learned from the businessmen who came from Hong Kong City, which is quite non-standard.
At that time, several outstanding students had appeared in the sales team. They put on the clothes of young people from Hong Kong City and walked on the street, just like real Hong Kong people.
But Deputy Factory Director Niu has an advantage that a young man cannot have, that is, he has a high ideological consciousness and a firm stance.
....
There were also three car repair and maintenance masters who came to Hong Kong City this time, and they were arranged in the same room.
Although Captain Liu felt that his residence was a bit far from Wang Weidong's house, fortunately there was a window outside and he could sit in front of the window and monitor the situation in the corridor.
Outside the building, there are also comrades from the Orchid TV Factory on duty, so there is no need to worry about someone climbing in from the outside along the wires.
He didn't say anything more and carried the heavy suitcase into the room.
As for Guan Tingting, since she is a lesbian, she naturally has to occupy a room to herself, which is next door to Wang Weidong's house.
I don't know if it was Deputy Director Niu's negligence. When he was renovating the house, he didn't block the door on the wall.
After being tired all the way, Wang Weidong entered the bathroom. As soon as he turned on the shower, a warm body pressed against him.
"Now there are only two of us left here. Didn't you say you wanted to use both whips last time? I specially brought a whip from home."
Guan Tingting handed over a small leather whip and smiled slyly at Wang Weidong.
....
After Zhou Lanzi got the racing information from Deputy Factory Director Niu, she hurriedly drove her Volkswagen to the World Formula One Championship Conference Center in Central.
In Hong Kong City, girls like Zhou Lanzi usually choose Volkswagen cars. Although this kind of car is much more expensive than ordinary cars, it looks like a classic car and is not fashionable at all. It can even be said that it looks a bit ugly.
However, it is one of the few semi-automatic cars in this era. When girls are driving on the road, they will not be confused when encountering sudden situations.
Since racing is very popular in my hometown and the Formula One World Championship is a world-renowned event, the officials of Hong Kong City attach great importance to this event.
The people standing guard at the entrance of the conference center are all armed police officers.
At this time, Zhou Lanzi had changed into a light gray women's suit, paired with long striped trousers, and her high-heeled leather shoes made a crisp sound of "de, de, de" when she stepped on the floor tiles, which made the gatekeepers look excited.
"Ma'am, your ID."
"Documents? Me? Attorney Zhou's daughter, do you still need documents to come here? Do you want me to go to the mission office in person and talk to your captain?"
Zhou Lanzi's eyes widened, and his small mouth was like spitting beans. He spat all these words onto the face of the frightened old man opposite.
In fact, Zhou Lanzi doesn't like to rely on the power of his family, nor is he the kind of person who makes trouble without reason.
But she knows very well that if you don't act aggressively at this time, these police officers will continue to interrogate you endlessly. Even if you hand over your ID, they will find various reasons to cause trouble for you. Unless you take out two Hong Kong dollars from your pocket and pat them on their hands.
Although Zhou Lanzi was rich, when Wang Weidong decided to participate in the World Formula One Championship, considering the difficulty of the matter, he specifically asked Deputy Director Niu to allocate 50,000 Hong Kong dollars to Zhou Lanzi as funding. But the reason why Zhou Lanzi joined the Orchid Group's office in Hong Kong is because she always calls herself a Chinese and helps the Chinese to do something.
Fifty thousand Hong Kong dollars converted into RMB is equivalent to nearly 46,000 RMB. With this amount of money, a family can live a prosperous life for seven or eight years.
Why waste it!
Sure enough, when Mr. Cha heard this, his expression suddenly became frightened. They had never heard of Attorney Zhou's name, but lawyers were high-class figures in Hong Kong City and were generally not easy to mess with. It is really not cost-effective to offend a barrister in order to extort the entry fee.
Mr. Cha quickly opened the door and made a gesture of invitation: "Miss Zhou, please, please..."
Miss Zhou snorted, raised her head, and walked into the building without even looking at Mr. Cha.
The reason why Zhou Lanzi was so anxious to submit the car's information to the World Formula One Championship Competition Committee was because the committee stipulated that the car's information must be submitted three days before the start of the race, otherwise, he would be disqualified.
The competition committee consists of seven people, all of whom are foreign veterans. Several of them have knighthoods, and two of them are racing drivers.
They were flipping through the information submitted by Zhou Lanzi, their eyes widening little by little, and a look of 'Are you kidding me' on their faces? ' look.
It was as if the barrister's daughter in front of her was bored and played a prank.
After reading the information, they looked at each other and saw doubts in their eyes.
"Ahem!" Finally, Peter, the vice president of the World Formula One Championship Competition Committee, raised his head and stared at Zhou Lanzi: "Ms. Zhou, we have already read the information you brought? Are you sure you didn't bring the wrong information? ? Or are you going to treat our competition as a joke?"
No wonder Pete is so surprised to take an ordinary classic car to participate in the World Formula One Championship. Isn't that a joke?
The rules of the Formula One World Championship are very complicated, but if you want to win, there is only one way, and that is to finish the race first.
A classic car, racing against the carefully built formula cars of those big teams... No one with any sense would do this.
What's more, the Orchid Racing Team's Oriental Supercar is still powered by batteries.
The total distance of the championship is 305 kilometers. Can a battery-powered car travel such a long distance?
According to Peter's estimation, even if the Oriental Super Racing Car was strapped with AA batteries all over its body, it would not be able to last even one lap.
Although Zhou Lanzi also found it ridiculous, she had great confidence in Wang Weidong.
A person who can turn a TV factory on the verge of bankruptcy into the world's largest TV factory must have his own uniqueness.
He nodded and said, "I'm sorry, you read that right. Our Orchid Group is indeed preparing to participate in this competition. We have already transferred 100,000 Hong Kong dollars to you through bank transfer."
Peter looked at Zhou Lanzi meaningfully, gave a slight "cough", and lowered his voice and said: "Miss Zhou, your father and I were alumni of Trinity College back then. I can't bear to see your Orchid Group become the leader of Hong Kong City, and even the whole country." The laughing stock of the world, if you agree, I can now, on behalf of the tournament committee, return your participation funds."
Pete also had good intentions.
You know, the Formula One World Championship is the most famous event in the world, and media reporters from all over the world will come to interview it.
When those two classic cars appear on the field, Orchid Group will inevitably become the target of humiliation by media from all over the world.
However, Zhou Lanzi couldn't make the decision. As a staff member of the Orchid Group's Hong Kong office, the only thing she could do was follow Wang Weidong's orders.
"Well, here is your participation certificate. The competition will officially start in five days. I hope you have good luck!"
Peter shook his head helplessly and handed the document to Zhou Lanzi.
In addition to the participation certificate, the file also contains information about each team.
Zhou Lanzi just glanced at it and stuffed it all into her handbag.
These are things Wang Weidong should worry about.
Queen's Road, Orchid Group Headquarters.
Zhou Lanzi put the materials in front of Wang Weidong and said with a smile: "Boss, all the strong teams in the world are not absent from this championship. Mercedes AMG Petronas F1 Team, Ferrari Mission Winnow Team, Aston Martin Racing... .And, this time, they also sent their own team's leading racing driver, like Jackie Stewart, who competed in F1 from 1965 to 1973 and won three annual championships. He was also known as The Flying Scotsman.
There is also Niki Lauda. He was originally a pilot. After changing his career to become a professional driver, he showed superhuman talent and won two annual championships.
To win the race, the performance of the car is one aspect.
How good a racer is is also important.
In our Orchid Team, who is the racing driver? Can I meet you?
"
Wang Weidong looked through the information, raised his head and glanced at Zhou Lanzi appreciatively.
Being able to collect so much information shows that she has a strong working ability.
He smiled indifferently: "You have already seen me, I am a racing driver."
"What...Boss, can you drive?" Zhou Lanzi's eyes widened suddenly.
In her impression, the number of cars in the mainland is very small, especially for people like Wang Weidong who come from civilian backgrounds and have no chance to touch the steering wheel.
Wang Weidong smiled and said: "Of course I can."
He didn't lie. In his previous life, he often took his girlfriend for rides in that 911.
