Chapter 692: Retaining Consumption
On the morning of the second day, Li Guangyu and others attended the signing ceremony of the investment in the race horse race, and the governor of Lisboa hoped to enhance his prestige and political achievements through this ceremony.
In March next year, the governor will leave office and will return to Portugal, so that he will have a better future in the future, which is why he has made such a big move this time.
This time, Lisboa TV also broadcast it live to improve the confidence of Lisboa citizens in the future of Lisboa.
The collapse of the property market and the financial crisis on the side of Xiangjiang also had a great impact on Lisboa, at this time, several major groups jointly invested 5 billion Hong Kong dollars to build the horse racing city, which is also a very good for the current economic situation of Lisboa.
In the afternoon, Lee Kwong Yu communicated with Fung King Hei, Cheng Yu-tung and Stanley Ho about the future construction and supporting facilities of the horse racing city.
Lisboa Kowloon Bus Company is jointly funded by Heung Kong Kowloon Motor Company and Stanley Ho Shun Tak Group, each accounting for 50% of the shares, and the current operating license has been obtained from the government.
Li Guangyu said: "Uncle Nine, at present, the 20 buses ordered by the company in London have been loaded, and I believe that in February next year, the bus company will be able to officially operate." During this time, we will be doing some remodeling of the carriage and will be back in operation in February. ”
Stanley Ho said: "Regarding the Carriage Racing Club, I will arrange personnel to squat here, but Guangyu, you Huidefeng Group still have to enter quickly, and build the Horse Racing City as soon as possible, only after the construction of supporting facilities here is perfect, we can retain customers and let them have fun here." ”
Stanley Ho knows very well that the reason why the carriage racing club operated by Ye Han will lose money is that the supporting facilities here are not very good and far away from the urban area. These people who come to play, in addition to the horse race, even a little better accommodation needs to return to the city.
And it takes more than half an hour's drive from the city, and when these guests return, the enthusiasm for consumption has almost subsided.
Unlike his own Lisboa casino, these guests can come out with countless places for them to spend after they have a good harvest inside. Whether it is a star-rated hotel or a large shopping mall, such as Cheng Yutong's Chow Tai Fook jewelry store, there is a large directly-operated store next to him for customers to spend.
After several horses were built here, several major banks entered one after another, making it more convenient for customers to handle banking business.
The settlement of the hotel also allows them to not need to travel tirelessly, and they can rest after they get tired of playing in the carriage race.
When customers have made a big gain, their enthusiasm for consumption is high, and Cheng Yutong's jewelry store, Lee Guangyu's clothing brand, and Bentley and Jaguar car brands are for them.
Of course, Li Guangyu and they will also find some well-known brands in the world to settle in, such as high-end cosmetics and world-renowned clothing brands.
On the side of Horse Racing City, Li Guangyu plans to build this place into a high-consumption area, and the brands that settle here will be brands that have a certain reputation in the world, so that these harvested guests can buy the products they want here.
Once the horse racing city can be developed, Li Guangyu and his family will get a huge profit, because they are all imported luxury brands, and the prices will be quite high, so the rents charged by their major groups will also be higher.
Now the key depends on whether this side can develop, Stanley Ho even has a new plan, if this side can't be driven by horse racing, he will build another Lisboa casino here, in order to drive the development of this side, he still doesn't believe it, so it can't drive this side.
As long as the construction of the horse racing city is completed, the supporting facilities here will not be worse than the urban area, if another entertainment city is built here, then there will be more fun here than the urban area, he does not believe that the guests will not come here.
Li Guangyu also knows that the sooner the horse race city is completed, the sooner they will be able to harvest, the current property market prices in Xiangjiang are still low, it is not a good time for Wheelock Group to enter the market, this time is just to be busy with the horse race city project.
Li Guangyu said: "After I go back, I will arrange for Zhong Anchi, vice president of Wheelock Group, to come here to preside over the development of our horse racing city, and strive to complete the horse racing city project in two years, and on New Year's Day in '85, the horse racing city will be officially put into use." ”
Stanley Ho has no opinion on this time, he knows very well that Li Guangyu is very efficient here. It takes several years for other groups to develop a project, and the time for a project of the Li consortium is generally two years, unless it is a super high-rise building, as in the case of his headquarters building, it will take three to four years.
The Li consortium has money, and they often have prepared enough funds when a project has just been approved, and the projects will be carried out according to the schedule, and there will never be arrears of project payments, let alone the phenomenon of work stoppage, so as to ensure the progress of construction.
As long as the horse racing city is completed, Stanley Ho's influence on the Lisboa side will be further enhanced, and in the future, he will be the representative of the Lee consortium and its interest groups on the Lisboa side.
In order to develop better here, Stanley Ho said to Li Guangyu: "Guangyu, at present, the current personnel here basically go to Xiangjiang first, and then take a boat to come here, which is still very inconvenient, and the cost of establishing an airport is too great, and we don't have so much money to invest in it at present." I plan to build a helicopter airport here, which is not a big investment, and it is convenient for Xiangjiang to come directly by helicopter without taking a boat. ”
Li Guangyu thought about it for a while and felt that there was no problem, just need to build a helipad in this regard, and some rich and wealthy people are also willing to take helicopters, and they can operate helicopter routes from Xiangjiang to Lisboa.
And this investment is not much money, even if it is a loss at that time, it doesn't matter, maybe this route will become an Internet celebrity in the future, and many people want to experience the feeling of taking a helicopter to Lisboa in Xiangjiang.
Li Guangyu said: "Uncle Nine, I have no opinion on this aspect, when the time comes for the construction of the horse racing city, I will also put this project in it and carry out the construction at the same time, as for the Xiangjiang side." I will be going to communicate with the Hong Kong Transport and Housing Authority and Kai Tak Airport, and I will also build a helicopter take-off and landing platform there. ”
Stanley Ho believes in Li Guangyu's influence on the Xiangjiang side, there is no problem with this matter, and the communication between Lisboa and Xiangjiang will be closer in the future, which is also conducive to the development of Lisboa.
Especially for Jockey City, helicopter take-off and landing is here, which can promote consumption here. You must know that those who are willing to choose helicopters to cross the sea, the economic strength must be quite good, these are their big customers, as long as these people are grasped, they do not need to worry about the performance problem.
Stanley Ho has always hoped that in the future, Lisboa will no longer be named the name of Oriental Las Vegas, he hopes that Lisboa is the top existence in this industry, and there is no need to look like anyone, what about Las Vegas, he hopes that his Lisboa side will one day surpass each other in this regard.
In the past, he was not strong enough to build it, but now he has some confidence, and if their group continues to develop like this, the future may really be uncertain.
