In March, the grass grows and the warbler flies.

When everything is recovering, the hometown is also making great progress and breaking into the hinterland of the little kid. In Hong Kong, Huo Yaowen has also made contact with Anna's cousin Donner, who attaches great importance to this cooperation, and Donner also personally brought a team of people to survey the Hong Kong Island subway line.

The construction of the subway is basically not difficult for the Downer Construction Company, not to mention that the project of the Tsuen Wan Line has been completed for the most part, and they only need to continue to excavate and build according to the planning drawings.

Woda Old Road, Huo Family Mansion.

In the living room, Fok Yaowen and Donner were chatting about the subway project of the Tsuen Wan Line.

"There is no problem, I have seen the drawings and the site with the engineer, the previous company did a very good job, and the more difficult places have been completed ahead of schedule, and the follow-up work I think will be completed in no more than a year. Donner told Huo Yaowen the truth about the conversation he had with his company's engineer in the morning.

"One year?" Huo Yaowen frowned, this was far from what the Lands Department said would be completed by the end of the year, and he couldn't help asking, "Can it be completed before the end of the year?"

Donner thought about it, calculated the construction period and time, there were still seven or eight months until the end of the year, and if he worked overtime, the time was still okay. Then he nodded and said, "Yes, yes, but I don't think workers want to work more than ten hours a day, and overtime pay will be very expensive, and maybe the budget will be a little overrun." ”

"Don't worry about that, I'll arrange a few more batches of workers to alternate. It's just that Donner, the engineers on your side are going to be a little busy. ”

Hearing this, Huo Yaowen almost laughed, the UK is not working overtime, but the overtime pay is very expensive, almost higher than the cost of a normal day's work, which is one of the reasons why British bosses never require employees to work overtime.

Donner smiled and said, "You're willing to pay more overtime, and I think they'll be happy to do so." ”

"No problem, as long as we can finish it as soon as possible. Huo Yaowen shrugged, four billion are out, do you still care about this overtime pay?

At this time, Mrs. Michelle came over with a tray and a smile, "Two gentlemen, your afternoon tea is here." ”

This time Donner came from England, and when Mrs. Michelle found out, she also came with her, and she hadn't seen her daughter and two precious grandchildren for more than half a year.

"Thank you. Donner politely took the afternoon tea, took a sip, raised his eyebrows and said, "Oh, Mrs. Michelle, the afternoon tea you made tastes great." ”

"Yes, if you like it, I've been learning how to make afternoon tea from Mary at home lately. "Madame Michelle was glad that her afternoon tea had been praised by others, and it was in vain that she had spent most of the year studying hard under Mary.

Donner laughed, "Then it seems that Mrs. Michelle is very talented in this, and it tastes much better than any afternoon tea I've ever had." ”

"If you like, I'll make a drink later. ”

Mrs. Michelle, who was praised a little flutteringly, smiled even brighter than she had just been.

"No, just one cup, not too much afternoon tea. ”

"Okay, then I won't bother you both. Saying that, Mrs. Michelle smiled and waved her hand, and went upstairs to take care of Xiaobao and Xiaohu with Anna.

Donner smiled and looked back at Huo Yaowen, seeing that he had been staring at him, he smiled and said, "You know, women like other people's compliments, and I just like to compliment others." ”

"Haha, of course. Huo Yaowen laughed, for this cousin Donner, he also had to admit that the other party had done a good job in terms of conversation and etiquette.

After chatting for a while, Donner got up and said, "Okay, it's not too early, I should go back too." ”

"Why don't you stay for dinner?" "No, I'm flying back to England tomorrow afternoon, and there's a little more I need to attend to. And aren't you going to finish it before the end of the year? I'll arrange for a few more engineers to come over as soon as I get back. ”

Hearing this, Huo Yaowen didn't force him to stay, got up and sent the other party out of the door.

As soon as Donner on the front foot left, Huo Zhenting on the back foot rushed to hear the news.

"Yaowen, isn't it too interesting for you to win the subway project in Tsuen Wan quietly!" Huo Zhenting has a good relationship with Huo Yaowen, and he is more casual in speaking, as soon as he entered the gate of Huo's house, he smiled at Huo Yaowen and asked.

Huo Yaowen grinned and said, "Brother Huo is joking, I also have to wait until it is confirmed before I can inform you, otherwise, wouldn't it hurt you." When the time comes, if Uncle Huo complains about me, it will be more than worth the loss. ”

"Haha, how can it be, my father often praises you at home, and wants me to learn from you, how can I blame you. ”

Huo Zhenting smiled, and then asked about the subway project, "Are you sure you can take over the rest of the Tsuen Wan subway project?"

"Of course, otherwise, wouldn't my four billion be in vain?"

Hearing so much money, Huo Zhenting was surprised and said, "Four billion? Wasn't it only three billion at the beginning?"

"The budget was overrun. Immediately, Huo Yaowen told Huo Zhenting what Brandt told him.

After hearing this, Huo Zhenting frowned, and he said, "I've heard a little bit about it, but I didn't expect the budget to exceed so much." Then how are you willing to take on this project? It's not tens of millions, it's billions!"

Huo Yaowen smiled: "The money is a bit much, but what if you add a few prime locations at the entrance of the subway station?"

Huo Zhenting's eyes lit up, "You mean that the Lands Department is going to exchange the land on the subway station in exchange?"

"It's not for exchange, it's for sale at the price of land, I've calculated it, the extra billion, if it's spread evenly on those few pieces of land, it's actually not a lot. Huo Yaowen shook his head, he had already found someone to calculate, even if it was an extra billion, as long as he could win these pieces of land at the price said by the Lands Department, he would definitely make a lot of money.

"Hehe......" Huo Zhenting heard him say this, how could he not know that this project was very profitable, rubbed his hands and smiled: "Then I don't know if Yaowen your company is still short of funds?"

"Lack is not lacking. But ......"

Huo Yaowen smiled and said, "If Brother Huo has an idea, I can let some of it out." ”

"Haha, Yaowen, don't worry, I won't let you suffer, I will give you an extra ten percent of the part you give up. ”

Huo Zhenting laughed happily.

……

Time passed little by little, and seven or eight days passed.

When the news of Fok Yaowen's official takeover of the Tsuen Wan MTR project was revealed, many well-known Hong Kong real estate companies came to Hutchison Whampoa at once, and they all wanted to use Fok Yaowen's technology to participate in this four-billion-dollar project.

For these real estate companies that he has never cooperated, Huo Yaowen didn't see any of them, and just asked Ma Shimin to deal with them, while he himself was negotiating with Huo Zhenting, Zhou Qibang, Cheng Jiachun, Macau Shuanghe and others as soon as possible about the investment ratio and shares.

After all the negotiations were completed, at the end of March, the Lands Department held a press conference to explain to reporters and the media that the British construction company was going to withdraw from the Tsuen Wan MTR project for some reason.

Then in the noise of reporters, Hutchison Whampoa's Ma Shimin took the stage, in everyone's puzzled eyes, the town planning department of the Lands Department stood up and said that the Tsuen Wan MTR project will be handed over to Hong Kong Hutchison Whampoa, Hong Kong Huanyu Real Estate, Hong Kong Fok Kwun Tai Real Estate, Hong Kong New Century Real Estate, Macau Ho Kee Real Estate, Macau Tai Fung Real Estate, and the British Downer Construction Company.

At the press conference, although the Lands Department did not disclose the money spent by these seven companies to take over the project, it has to be said that the reporters on Hong Kong Island are still very set, and it only took two or three days to dig out that these seven companies will jointly invest HK$4 billion to contract the Tsuen Wan MTR project.

The sky-high project of 4 billion yuan shook the whole Hong Kong at once!

While people were still talking about this matter, there was good news from Apple Computer in the United States, the Apple II model computer had entered the mass production stage, and Jobs warmly invited Huo Yaowen, a generous boss, to attend the Apple Computer Exhibition held by the company.
