The Spring Festival holiday passed quickly, and it was the fifteenth day of the first lunar month in the blink of an eye, during which Huo Yaowen not only accompanied his family and relatives, but also took the time to go to Huo Guantai and Zhou Xinian's house on the fifth day of the new year to pay New Year's greetings.

Although Huo Zhou's family lives in the same mid-levels as Huo Yaowen, the luxury residential area in Mid-levels is still quite large, and the distance between each mansion is quite far.

Because the Zhou family was closer, Huo Yaowen first went to Zhou Xinian's house to pay New Year's greetings.

Since the stock market crash in 73 was forcibly acquired by Jardine Matheson Matheson and took away the milk company, although Zhou Xinian not only did not lose money because of Huo Yaowen's relationship, but made a small profit.

But since the loss of the dairy company, his influence has not been as good as it once was, and two years earlier, in 1974, he lost the seat on the board of the Hong Kong Jockey Club, which he had held since 1946.

You must know that the current Jockey Club board seats are not ordinary people, a total of more than 20 seats, there are only seven Chinese directors, namely the charter king, He gambling king, Macau He Xian, Li Xiaohe, Luo Wenhui and Zhou Xinian.

Next week, Xi Nian was kicked out of the Jockey Club board of directors, giving an honorary director as a consolation, but this is enough to show that he has semi-departed from the ranks of Hong Kong's top Chinese businessmen.

"My father took the medicine. Zhou Qibang brought a glass of warm water and a medicine bottle, walked to Zhou Xinian's side and urged him to take medicine.

"Well, good. ”

Zhou Xinian smiled at Huo Yaowen, didn't say anything, opened the medicine bottle, poured out two small round pills from it, swallowed them in one gulp, and drank another sip of warm water.

Looking at the "Yi Anning Pill" written on the bottle, Huo Yaowen remembered that his teacher Zhang Chengyi was also taking this blood pressure medicine, and couldn't help but ask with concern, "Uncle Zhou, are you a blood pressure medicine?"

"Yes, I had a little high blood pressure during this time, and the doctor recommended me to take this. Seeing Huo Yaowen's worried look, Zhou Xinian smiled and said, "It's all some old people's diseases, and there is nothing wrong with the body." ”

"It's better to pay more attention to your body. Huo Yaowen hesitated for a few seconds and said euphemistically.

Just now, he suddenly remembered that in the original history, Zhou Xinian seemed to have been hospitalized with a sudden stroke this year, and after that, his health deteriorated, and he couldn't stand it and died within a few years.

Zhou Xinian said: "You are worried about Lao Awen. I heard that you are planning to cooperate with Fok Kwun-tai on a piece of land in Aberdeen recently?"

Huo Yaowen nodded and said: "Yes, although I have taken over Hutchison Whampoa for more than half a year, but due to the impact of the previous stock market crash, the company can't come up with too much money to develop the land, so I contacted Uncle Huo, hoping to invest in Aberdeen's land and build some mid-to-high-end commercial communities." ”

The cooperation was not particularly secretive, and the recent frequent contact between Hutchison Whampoa and Huo Guantai's Lixin Real Estate has long been in the eyes of some well-intentioned people, and it is normal for Zhou Xinian to know about this matter.

"Oh, is there still a lack of funds? It just so happens that the money I used to sell the milk company has been in the company and has not been touched much, if you don't mind, Awen, I would like to buy a share." ”

Zhou Xinian has also helped many young people start businesses in his life, but there are very few people like Huo Yaowen who have grown almost from scratch to the point where they are today, so whether it is for the Zhou family or to continue to sell Huo Yaowen's favors, he is happy to continue to provide a little help.

Hearing this, Huo Yaowen thought about it carefully, it seemed that one more Zhou Xinian would not be a big deal, and the extra funds also avoided Hutchison Whampoa from being at a disadvantage in this cooperation.

Thinking of this, he smiled and said: "Then thank you Uncle Zhou, the land in Aberdeen is indeed a bit big, and it may be difficult for me and Uncle Huo to develop it at one time." ”

"Qibang, then I will leave this matter to you. ”

Zhou Xinian knew that his body was not as good as before, so he handed over the matter of cooperation to his son.

"Got it, father. ”

Hearing that his father was going to hand over the cooperation in the development of Aberdeen land to himself, Zhou Qibang's heart trembled, and he was suddenly excited, you must know that the old man is not only his son!

Fok Guantai wants to develop the land in Aberdeen with Hutchison Whampoa, and Chow Qibang has already heard about it, and he has understood the area and environment of that land before, and I have to say that the land is really good!

Because this land was formerly a shipyard, it is not only close to the sea, but also has a natural pier hundreds of meters long, which is definitely expected to become the second Victoria Harbour if it is developed into a mid-to-high-end community and some supporting commercial buildings are built!

According to the original history, in the early 80s, after Xiao Li Zi won Hutchison Whampoa, the first residential building developed was the land of Aberdeen, relying on the advantages of the natural port, it gradually became a place for Hong Kong's rich and powerful people to store their yachts, and the top club yacht club in Hong Kong was born here.

"Brother Zhou will cooperate in the future, please give me a lot of advice!"

Huo Yaowen looked at Zhou Qibang with a smile, he didn't have a very deep influence on Zhou Qibang, whether it was now or in the future, he was just a rich second generation who lived on his father Yu Ze.

Zhou Qibang came back to his senses, and hurriedly shook hands and said, "Where, where is it, if Ah Wen needs anything, just speak." ”

……

Coming out of Zhou's house, Huo Yaowen drove towards the other side of Baijia Road, which was Huo Guantai's home.

Carrying the gift into the door, and chatting with Huo Zhenting and his brothers and sisters for a while, Huo Guantai called him and Huo Zhenting to go to the study on the second floor to talk about the development of the land in Aberdeen.

Although it was agreed before, because the Chinese New Year was about to come, this matter was temporarily put on the interval, and now that the New Year has passed, the development of Aberdeen's high-end community is naturally on the agenda.

As soon as he entered the study, Huo Yaowen told Zhou Xinian that he also wanted to buy shares.

Huo Guantai was surprised: "Sir Zhou also wants to join in a share?"

"Yes, Sir Chow also wants to develop Aberdeen with us, I have thought about it, the land in Aberdeen is a bit large, and it will take a long time for Hutchison Whampoa and Fong's Real Estate to develop it as soon as possible. ”

Huo Yaowen's words were very vague, and he did not directly say that he agreed to Zhou Xinian's shareholding, but who is Huo Guantai? Naturally, he heard the meaning of the words, pondered for a moment, and said: "Since Sir Zhou helps, it is naturally the best, in this way, the community can not only be built on a date, but also a country park can be built at the same time." ”

Because of its proximity to typhoon shelters, in addition to a natural harbor, Aberdeen's land is surrounded by two former dry mill docks and upper and lower ponds used by surrounding residents to get water and drink, and there is a small mountain behind it.

Previously, when Huo Yaowen and Huo Guantai sent partners talked about the construction of the community, they made plans for the two large ponds and mountain peaks, and it was very cost-effective to fill the pond or blow up the mountain.

Therefore, after negotiations, it was finally decided to make the two ponds and the mountain peak into a wild park, which can be regarded as a green facility for the community that has not yet been built, and when it is developed and sold in the future, it will be advertised as the most upscale garden community in Hong Kong.

It's just that the development of a hill-scale park is not something that can be solved with a little money, at the beginning, Huo Yaowen and Huo Guantai were ready to wait for the first phase of the real estate to be sold, and then slowly rectify, now there is more Zhou Xinian, and the funds are relatively abundant, so they simply developed it at one time.

After the tripartite cooperation was confirmed, Huo Yaowen casually said that Zhou Xinian handed over the project to Zhou Qibang to be responsible.

Hearing this, Huo Guantai thought about it, thought about it for a while, and then said to Huo Zhenting, who had been listening to him: "Zhenting recently I have to deal with the affairs of Macau Shun Tak Shipping, and I will hand over the development project of Aberdeen to you." ”

"It's my father, I will definitely have a good connection with Yaowen. ”

The Aberdeen real estate development project worth hundreds of millions of yuan, which can be said to be the largest amount of money since Fok Zhenting managed the family business, there must be excitement, but it is much better than Zhou Qibang, after all, he is now the general manager of Fong's Real Estate, and he has also presided over the development of several small real estate projects in the past.

Hearing that Huo Guantai handed over the project to Huo Zhenting to be in charge, Huo Yaowen smiled and congratulated him.

He just revealed that Zhou Xinian handed over the project to Zhou Qibang to be responsible, but it was not unintentional, after all, cooperating with Huo Guantai or Zhou Xinian is still quite stressful for Huo Yaowen.

Now that he has been replaced by two young people of his generation, it will be much easier for both the next negotiations and the benefits of the future development.
