The second brother stood up and walked to the window, looked at the sea in the distance below and said, "The sea here is so blue, the sea over there looks dark, and the beach is not good, why?"

Zhang Xingming said: "Money." It's cleaned up by spending money, you think you're born so beautiful. That's a resource. The people over there can't eat, so how can the government have the money to spend here. ”

Actually, this is a matter of philosophy. China is strictly a landlocked country, and its gaze has always been focused only on the land and the things on the land, and has not paid attention to the sea for thousands of years. This is different, it is an island itself, and it has been managed by island countries for more than 100 years, so it naturally attaches great importance to the ocean and things related to the ocean.

Why did China suddenly retreat from the world's largest and most powerful country to a backward country in the past few hundred years? This is directly related to the fact that it never attached importance to the sea; you must know that in the middle of the Ming Dynasty, China's navigation technology was still the world's leader. But what about it? Suddenly, my brain twitched, the sea was forbidden, the shipbuilding was killed, and the people who went to sea were killed, and they were stunned from the most advanced to the most backward.

This is the sorrow of the scholars' rule of the country, why the sea is forbidden? Because the scholars clique wants to monopolize the sea trade. They said to the emperor: "Your Majesty, you can't open the sea, there is too much silver outside, and the silver will not be worth much if you go on like this." "And the emperor of the Ming Dynasty has also seen history, they are all gods who put aside business, are busy writing lyrics and composing music, are carpenters, cultivate immortals, and run to open supermarkets, so China gave up the opportunity to compete for hegemony at sea, and only then did it have a hundred years of humiliation.

And it was the Chinese themselves who opened the Age of Discovery, Zheng He went to the West, exported gunpowder technology, papermaking technology, porcelain firing technology, shipbuilding technology, smelting technology, textile technology, etc. overseas free of charge, and then came back and slept with the door closed.

The most important thing in this is the compass, without this technology, no one would dare to go to sea. The second is the nautical chart, which was such a valuable material in that era, so many people exchanged their lives for it, and they gave it away casually, let people copy it casually, and sent someone to explain it, so a super small country like Spain jumped up and became the ruler of half the world, tearing the veil of the sea.

……

"Uncle Liu, do you want to make a set? Do you like the mountains or the sea?" Zhang Xingming asked Godfather Liu again, everyone wants good things, how could Godfather Liu's envious eyes escape Zhang Xingming's observation.

Godfather Liu shook his chin and said, "Think, you send me?"

Zhang Xingming nodded and said, "I'll send you." ”

Godfather Liu said, "Send me and ask for it." It's really nice to see the mountains and the sea, it's quiet and safe, I can enjoy it even if I'm not there, my old man, he has lived in Hong Kong for a long time in the past few years. But it's not that big, five or six rooms are enough. ”

There are also a lot of small villas in this area, and it is not expensive to buy at this time, five or six million Hong Kong dollars, which is three million yuan. You must know that by the year 2000, such a small villa would have to be calculated in the form of 100 million.

Zhang Xingming said: "Okay, anyway, you will almost stay in Hong Kong before the mass production of the product, and it is convenient to get a set." Lao Guo, there are a lot of single-family villas in this area, right? Buy a few sets, find someone to get the interior right, especially the moisture-proof and leak-proof must be done well. ”

Lao Guo thought for a while and said, "There are not many here, there are more on Shoushan Village Road, I'll find someone to take a look." ”

Zhang Xingming said: "Okay, it's good over there, it's not far away, it's best to have a few buildings next to each other, and then it will be an executive dormitory." ”

After reading the house, talking about the conversation, everyone went out to get in the car and went back to the city, not to mention the hotel, there is not even a commissary, the seaside is still a small fishing village, the entire southern part of the island has not been developed, the Aberdeen tunnel is being repaired, the ring road has not been built, and there are no people until Wong Chuk Hang, but it is basically a settlement of the poor and factories, and the mountain is completely two worlds.

However, it has been 86 years, and spring is coming here in Huangzhukeng, and it will be quite prosperous in the nineties.

I found a place to eat a Hong Kong special meal, drank tea, and had to go to Kowloon in the afternoon.

The architectural design company that has been cooperating with is over there, and I have to go to see the research package station that Godfather Liu gave to contact, and the purpose of Godfather Liu is to establish an electronic industry research institute, and the place has to recruit people to go through the procedures, a lot of things, fortunately, Mr. Liu is here to do the work of the law, and all of them are entrusted to him.

In fact, the cooperation began early in the morning, and the relevant technical patents of Lao Guo Automobile were entrusted to Mr. Liu, who is quite famous in international legal affairs and patents, and his friends are all over the world.

Mr. Liu helped find a place in East Kowloon, which was originally a factory area, and after the government's economic transformation, the factory moved north, coupled with several economic turmoil, resulting in a large number of abandoned factory buildings.

Some of the factories have been converted into rental houses, and many locals have bought abandoned factories and converted them into dense housing estates to rent out to outsiders or Hong Kong villagers who have come to Hong Kong Island for various reasons, which is also a major feature of Kowloon East in the 80s and 90s.

The house that Mr. Liu said is sandwiched between several housing estates, it is a large quadrangle building, a main building and three annex buildings enclose a courtyard, which is not high, the main building has four and a half floors, it is an office area, and the annex building is a three-story large open building, which is the original factory building and dormitory area.

Everyone visited the circle under the leadership of the house keeper, and Godfather Liu asked Zhang Xingming: "Do you feel okay?"

Zhang Xingming said: "Yes, it's good, you can park in the yard, you can also get big cars outside, and the space is enough, the upper two floors of the main building are used as dormitories, and the lower two floors are used as offices." The annex building has been renovated to make various laboratories and canteens, which is very good. ”

Godfather Liu said: "The rent is a bit expensive, more than 400,000 Hong Kong dollars a year, let's think about it." ”

Zhang Xingming glanced at Lao Guo and said: "Buy it, it's not cost-effective to rent, buy it, you can also push it to rebuild if there are changes in the future, Hong Kong is here every inch of land, and the property will not suffer a loss in your hands." ”

Lao Guo nodded and said that he would do it.

Zhang Xingming said: "Why don't you just set up a real estate company to manage the property sales under our name, including the purchase of land and construction operations, more and more in the future, there must be a special department to manage it, and you will manage it first." ”

Lao Guo thought for a while and said, "Okay, what's the name of the company?"

Zhang Xingming said: "Our business part is called Hexiang, and it is not good to call this real estate piece, I want to think about it." It's a pity that Mr. Li's real estate is called Hutchison, in fact, I like this name a lot, he alone occupies the Yangtze River and Huangpu River, alas. ”

Lao Guo looked at Zhang Xingming strangely and said: "Mr. Li's company is called Cheung Kong Industrial, Hutchison Whampoa is another company, not Mr. Li's, this company was founded in 1863, is one of the four major ocean companies on Hong Kong Island, is currently one of the largest listed companies in Hong Kong, in 1979 Mr. Li's Yangtze River took over the management of Hutchison at a cost of 690 million Hong Kong dollars and served as the chairman of the board of directors. And, don't you know that you yourself are now Hutchison's largest individual shareholder?"
