492 [Watsons of the water plant]

The time for returning to Hong Kong was set, and although Mrs. Michelle was very reluctant to give up her two precious grandchildren, she still agreed to the arrangement for the two to return to Hong Kong, and after staying for a few more days, she personally sent them to the airport.

When they arrived at the airport, the two little ones thought at first that they were going out to play as a family, but they suddenly heard that they were back in Hong Kong, and they immediately stopped leaving.

Xiaohu and Xiaobao have been in the UK for most of the month, and they have already been familiar with their grandmother, and they are also used to the happy time of playing carefree in the castle, so when they heard that they were going back to Hong Kong, they were still a little unhappy, and they also lost their temper and relied on their grandmother, unwilling to leave.

But children, temper comes and goes quickly.

After Huo Yaowen promised to buy a cheesecake for each of the two little guys, he also comforted a pair of children smoothly, and together with Anna, after saying goodbye to the reluctant Mrs. Michelle, with the help of Ms. Mary, the suitcase was sent to the security channel.

Anna hugged the child and said, "Alice, Arthur, say goodbye to grandma." ”

"Goodbye, grandma. ”

"Goodbye Grandma. ”

Xiaohu and Xiaobao waved.

"Good. Mrs. Michelle's eyes were red, and she still looked very reluctant to give up her granddaughter.

It wasn't until Huo Yaowen and Anna got on the plane that Mrs. Michelle and Ms. Mary reluctantly drove back together.

……

In the evening of the next day, Huo Yaowen returned to Hong Kong from the United Kingdom, and as soon as he got off the plane, Huo Chengcai drove them home.

After a day of rest at home, Fok Yiuwen first went to Hutchison Whampoa, listened to Ma Shimin's report on the group's situation, the current business situation of Hutchison Whampoa's subsidiaries has improved, and the "Aberdeen Garden Community Project" developed in cooperation with Fok Kwun Tai and Sir Chow is currently preparing for the final topping out ceremony of the first phase of the real estate.

After the first phase is fully completed, the "Aberdeen Garden Community" will be officially sold to the public, and the price is tentatively set at 3,200 yuan per square meter, which is much higher than the price estimated by Fok Yaowen two months ago.

"Why did it rise so much?" Huo Yaowen looked at Ma Shimin in surprise, it had risen by eight or nine hundred yuan in less than a month, and the increase was too fast!

"Chairman, I don't know if you're not in Hong Kong lately. ”

Ma Shimin paused and explained: "After you went to the UK in early April, the Hong Kong Governor's Office temporarily sheltered 23,000 refugees who came to Hong Kong from Vietnam, and ninety percent of them were placed in refugee camps in the New Territories waiting to be repatriated. ”

“......”

Huo Yaowen frowned, he didn't want to say much about political matters, so he changed the topic and said, "By the way, what is the demolition situation of the Whampoa dock in Kowloon now?"

Ma Shimin said: "The abandoned warehouse on the east side of the Whampoa Dockyard has been demolished by directional blasting, and we are currently clearing the rubble, and all these abandoned stones have been transported to the vicinity of Victoria Harbour for reclamation. ”

Since the opening of the port, Hong Kong has undergone many reclamation projects, most of the nearby small mountains have long been used for reclamation, in order to relieve the pressure, the British government of Hong Kong began to use the reclamation of industrial waste raw materials.

Huo Yaowen said: "Well, it's done well, the demolition project can be done slowly." `”

"I know, but ......"

Ma Shimin hesitated for a few seconds and said: "However, the company has no corresponding plan for the vacated land at present, and I think a new real estate can be developed." ”

Hearing him also say that he wanted to develop the land of Whampoa Dock, Fok Yaowen said: "Development must be developed, but not now, you also know the company's financial situation, and now you still focus on the project of Aberdeen Garden Community." ”

"It's the chairman. Ma Shimin thought about it, but finally did not continue, in his opinion, the company can properly develop the Whampoa dock land, such as building a small building first.

After chatting about this, Huo Yaowen looked at Hutchison Whampoa's business projects in the past half a month, and at present, in addition to the garden community, the group's largest investment project is Watsons.

In later generations, Watsons was a cosmetics store frequented by many girls, but now it is only a company that mainly produces distilled water and operates a large pharmacy.

Watsons originated from a large pharmacy in Guangdong in 1828, and after more than 70 years of development, in 1900, it produced the first distilled water in Chinese mainland at that time, and Watsons transformed from a pharmacy to a water factory mainly dealing in distilled water.

After moving to Hong Kong, in addition to continuing to open a water factory, Watsons also invested in many pharmacies, but the majority of the business is still the distilled water business, but in the 60s, the Hong Kong soda industry gradually developed, and the Ritchie family relied on the latest soda recipe to occupy almost eighty percent of the soda market in Hong Kong.

This also led to a sharp decline in the originally bland distilled water business, coupled with the invasion of Coca-Cola and Pepsi, Watsons' distilled water business is getting worse and worse.

When Fok Yiu-man took over Hutchison Whampoa, Watson's distilled water business could already be described as bleak, but despite this, Fok Yiu-man did not stop the distilled water factory, but asked the person in charge to redesign the packaging of distilled water, and then began to develop the soda that the public loves to drink.

To this end, Fok Yiuwen invested 3 million Hong Kong dollars at that time to develop new soda flavors.

However, after Ma Shimin became the general manager, he set his sights on the formulas of several large pharmacies operated by Watsons, hoping to expand the scale of the pharmaceutical factory.

"Expanding the pharmaceutical factory?"

Huo Yaowen is no stranger to Watsons, and he has accompanied his ex-girlfriend to go shopping I don't know how many times, and there are too many kinds of cosmetics in it. It's just that now Watsons has no shadow of producing cosmetics at all, and it is impossible for him to push down the business that Watsons is running now and turn his head to another unfamiliar field, so it is better to start a new cosmetics company or acquire one.

Ma Shimin said: "Watson's Pharmacy has a total of three old formulas, namely peppermint cooling ointment, insect repellent and insect repellent water, and astragalus beauty cream, I have seen the sales of pharmacies, these three are currently the most sold in pharmacies, but because our pharmaceutical factory is very small, so the output is very low, I think it is possible to expand the pharmaceutical factory, large-scale scientific production, not only in our pharmacy sales, but also recommended to other pharmacies." ”

"Looks like you've done a lot of homework. Huo Yaowen glanced at him, the other party said so much, obviously he had a big idea about expanding the pharmaceutical factory.

Ma Shimin said modestly: "I saw it when I was sorting out the group's information. ”

Huo Yaowen thought carefully about the feasibility of expanding the pharmaceutical factory.

At present, many large pharmacies in Hong Kong have special pharmaceutical factories, and there are many of them, but it is just a matter of the size of the pharmaceutical factory. Two years ago, Hu Yantang, who donated white flower oil to the Charity Education Foundation, made a fortune with a white flower oil formula.

Now Watsons has three old formulas, all of which are more commonly used by the public, and it is not impossible to expand the scale of the pharmaceutical factory.

And the name of Astragalus Beauty Cream Huo Yaowen is still a little impressed, and he vaguely remembers that there seems to be such a pharmaceutical cosmetics in later generations, could it be that Watsons began to slowly tilt towards cosmetics from the expansion of pharmaceutical factories?

Huo Yaowen pondered for a moment and said, "You first come up with a detailed plan to expand the scale of the pharmaceutical factory." ”

"Okay chairman. ”

……

When he came out of Hutchison Whampoa, it was already more than one o'clock in the afternoon, and Huo Yaowen did not go home, but went to Huanyu Film Company instead.

It was said that "Zombie Dao Chief" had been edited, waiting for the boss to come over and see the finished film.

In the blink of an eye, half an hour passed.

When Huo Yaowen arrived at the film company, director Chu Yuan and starring Lin Zhengying and others had been waiting for a long time.

After greeting everyone for their hard work, and without much nonsense, Wen Yingguang led everyone into the company's small screening room.

The group entered the screening hall and sat down, on the left and right sides of Huo Yaowen, Wen Yingguang and Chu Yuan, the company's largest director, sat respectively, and behind them sat in batches starring Lin Zhengying, Qingxia, Xu Guanying, and other actors and directors who came to learn from experience.

While still waiting for the screening, Lin Zhengying leaned out, leaned behind Huo Yaowen, and whispered: "General manager, Yuan Biao agreed." ”

"Promise?"

Huo Yaowen was slightly stunned, and immediately reacted, Yuan Biao should have agreed to come to the company!

"Yes, yes. ”

Without hearing the boss's question, Lin Zhengying continued: "I agreed last week, and I have signed a contract with Manager Wen. ”

Hearing this, he looked back at Yuan Biao, who was sitting not far away, and saw that he was chatting with Xu Guanying and others, and nodded slightly: "You did a good job." ”

"The general manager who should be. Lin Zhengying smiled.

At this time, the lights in the screening room dimmed, and a pillar of light shot out from the projector behind it, shining on the dark screen in front of it.

A huge earth logo appeared in the picture, and the earth rotated rapidly, finally frozen into a two-dimensional picture, and the words "produced by Huanyu Film Company" also appeared below.

This is the new LOGO specially made by the matrix digital special effects in the United States, and Huo Yaowen is also the first time to see it, and he can't help but be a little surprised.
