Free?!So what else do we earn!" Vanessa was surprised to hear that it was free. She opened this beauty club to make money, and she made a fortune for free.

Huo Yaowen saw that Fanasha really didn't know how to do business, so he also shook his head and said, "Didn't I say that there shouldn't be too many diamond membership cards? These people don't live with you, eat and drink you, how much money can dozens of people get free? And you are the boss, and the use of some skin care products is only the cost price. ”

"Evan is right, if it really follows this membership card system, I also think that the diamond card should be free. Although Brandt is not a businessman, he also has a keen sense of smell as a politician.

"Then how do we make money?!" Vanessa glanced at her husband, and when she saw him say this, she knew that Brant had been listening to the conversation between the two, not like she was indifferent on the surface, and she was a little funny in her heart, but she didn't debunk it.

"Gold and Silver. Huo Yaowen thought for a while and said: "For example, the recommended gold members have to pay at least 100,000 membership fees a year, and at the same time enjoy half of the discount on the club's beauty items, and the silver members have 50,000 yuan a year, and there is no discount for any beauty items." How to calculate the membership fee, you can find someone to calculate it yourself when the time comes, or I will arrange someone to help you. ”

"Sounds pretty good. ”

Vanessa thought about it for a while, if it is planned like this, it shouldn't be a problem to make money, and gold and silver have to pay additional dues a year in addition to beauty fees, it seems that they earn more?

Suddenly, there was a sound of the door opening outside the house, and Anna, who had sent her children to school, came home, and when she entered the house, she saw that her cousin Brant and her cousin-in-law Vanessa were still sitting there, and looked at the watch on her wrist, it was already past nine o'clock, and she couldn't help laughing: "Are you still talking?

When Vanessa saw Anna coming, she immediately stepped forward enthusiastically, "Anna, you came just in time! Evan said that the idea is really great, you can help me calculate whether I can make money or not." ”

The two women chatted, Huo Yaowen didn't want to disturb, and glanced at Brandt, the other party understood, and after a moment's effort, the two got up and went upstairs to the study to chat.

"You don't seem to be happy with Vanessa doing business?" Huo Yaowen came in with a bottle of wine, poured some and handed it to Brandt.

Brant took a sip of wine, nodded and said, "I wasn't very happy before, I always thought she was making trouble. ”

"And now?" Huo Yaowen asked with a smile.

"Now that you say that, it seems pretty good. Brant listened very seriously just now, and felt that if Vanessa set up such a beauty club, it would be regarded as accumulating contacts to some extent, which was not a good thing for Brant who wanted to go further.

If Huo Yaowen could read minds, he would definitely laugh when he heard Brant's heart, isn't this lady diplomacy?

"Vanessa was probably a little too bored to do something on her own. It just so happens that Alice and Arthur are both older, and I don't want to go to the company by myself, Anna stays at home alone with Zhang's mother, I'm afraid it will be very boring, and it's good to find something to do for her. ”

Huo Yaowen didn't think as much as Brandt thought, he just wanted to find something to do for his wife, just in time for Fanatha's idea of opening a beauty center, so he did it.

When Brant heard this, he was suddenly stunned in his heart, and pondered for a while before sighing, "Maybe I'm too negligent with Vanessa. ”

The two of them have not had children for so many years, and they thought it was due to physical reasons, but the results of the examination were all right, which made Brant and Vanessa very distressed, and it was common for them to quarrel at home. The love before marriage is now slowly fading a lot.

In addition, the recent beating of disobedient children in the mainland has caused many refugees to flock to Hong Kong Island, Brandt has been busy with government affairs, and he falls asleep when he returns home, and there is no longer the sweet and enthusiastic recitation of loving poems with Vanessa at the salon attended by Huo Yaowen a few years ago.

"Believe me, sooner or later God will send you the next sweet and clever little angel. Huo Yaowen patted Brandt on the shoulder, although he only talked about the problem of the child once, and Brandt never mentioned it again, but Huo Yaowen could understand that Brandt must have been thinking about this matter in his heart.

After all, when Brandt got married, Huo Yaowen and Anna were still in love, and now five or six years have passed, Huo Yaowen and Anna gave birth to a pair of dragon and phoenix fetuses, but Brant and Fanatha are still only husband and wife.

"I hope so. Brandt smiled slightly, and didn't say anything more on the subject. I drank the wine in one gulp, and the bitter and spicy taste spread in my mouth. Suddenly, he remembered something, looked up and said, "By the way, last time I heard Fanatha say that Anna will contact Donner again?

"Yes, there is this idea. Huo Yaowen saw that Brant guessed, nodded and said with a smile: "But I remember that it seems that the British consortium has not withdrawn its investment, and is still under construction, and it should be almost completed." ”

"That's just rhetoric. Brandt scoffed.

"What's the matter?" Huo Yaowen was puzzled.

"The project is indeed almost completed, and it can be regarded as six or seven percent completed, but now the budget is exceeded, and the Lands Department has no money to continue to allocate funds, so the British consortium is ready to withdraw its funds. "Brandt is from the Chief Secretary for Administration, and he specializes in helping Hong Kong Governor MacLehose deal with large and small government issues, so of course he knows about this matter.

Speaking of this, Brant sneered: "Now I tell the outside world that it is almost completed, but I don't want to cause resentment among the citizens, after all, the construction of the subway has delayed too many engineering projects, and if the subway is not built in one day, no buildings can be built on the ground." I really don't understand how those people in the Lands Department and the Ministry of Finance can make the budget exceed so much, either some people are enriching their own pockets, or they didn't plan it well in the first place. ”

Hearing this, Huo Yaowen became a little interested, since he had completed six or seven percent, he should be able to get a lot cheaper if he was next. Thinking of this, he tentatively asked, "The budget is a lot over."

Not only did I spend all my budget, but I also owed the construction company more than 20 million Hong Kong dollars. ”

"No, it's only half done, and the budget is overpaid?"

"Who knows how they did it. Brandt shrugged his shoulders, he didn't know much about how the Ministry of Finance and the Lands Department got to where they are today, everyone has their own duties, and maybe the Governor knows a little bit.

"Did the consortium withdraw its investment?"

"It should be soon, the Lands Department is still racking its brains about this, and I heard that it seems that it is going to contact a construction company in Japan to take over. ”

Huo Yaowen thought about it, since even Brant said that the budget was much over, it means that it is not as simple as one or two hundred million, but the subway project has been completed, whether it is the long-term income from selling subway tickets, or buying some golden areas for subway entry and exit in advance, it seems to be not bad.

And the most important point is that with this cooperation, if there are other new subway routes on Hong Kong Island in the future, you should be the first to choose yourself, right?

Thinking of this, Huo Yaowen asked, "Then can I take over this engineering project?"

"I knew you had this idea. Brandt said with a smile: "The Governor called us to a meeting the other day to discuss this matter, and he hopes to find a new construction company to take over as soon as possible, and at the same time, it must be completed by the end of the year. At that time, it was calculated that if someone took over and completed it this year, it would take about 4 billion. ”

"So much! I remember that the price tag before seemed to be only three billion!" Huo Yaowen was taken aback.

"It has been said that the budget is exceeded, and the Lands Department will definitely not lose money on its own, so the money must be the responsibility of the company that took over. Brant shook his head and continued, "Of course, it won't be in vain that the company that takes over will bear this extra budget. If anyone is willing to take over the project for four billion, all the land in the Prince Prince's way up to the entrance and exit of Tsuen Wan will be sold to him at a lower price. ”

Buying land at a low price?

Fok Yiu-man's mind quickly thought about the planning plan for the Tsuen Wan MTR line, which was published very early, and many real estate companies were waiting for the Lands Department to auction the land at these entrances and exits.

Brant looked at Huo Yaowen with a contemplative expression, and said with a smile: "Don't forget it, there are 10 stations on the whole Tsuen Wan MTR line, including 6 underground stations, 1 surface station and 3 elevated stations. If the three elevated stations are removed, there will be a total of seven entrances and exits, two of which are for civil use and can be used for residential buildings, and the rest are very promising commercial land. ”

"That's a good thing. "Two pieces of civil land and five pieces of commercial land are all next to the subway station, and the value brought by this does not need to be calculated by Huo Yaowen, everyone knows that it is definitely worth a lot.

"If you have an idea, I can help you talk about it, but it's best to inform me as soon as possible, I'm afraid that the Lands Department will contact the construction company in Japan because of the tight deadline," Brandt said. ”

"Okay, I'll give you an answer in the next two days. "After all, it is a project of 4 billion Hong Kong dollars, and the conversion to US dollars is 800 million, which is not very much for Huo Yaowen at present, but he will not be able to take out so much money for a while.

Even if you grit your teeth and make up $800 million, there is no way to develop the land above the subway station in the future. Finding a bank loan is a good way, but Huo Yaowen doesn't want to do it.

In addition to the problem of money, the most important thing is to complete the subway, and there is no construction company in Hong Kong with this technology, so Huo Yaowen must be looking for Anna's cousin Donner, so that the other party will inevitably participate in it.

Since my cousin Donner has participated in a share, he doesn't care about letting people participate a little more.

Huo Yaowen thought of this and decided to contact a few more people to win the subway project, on the one hand, he would not break his capital chain, and on the other hand, he was afraid that the project would not fall into his hands. Unite a few more famous tycoons in Hong Kong, so that your chances of winning the project will be greatly improved.
