Chapter 176 - Preparing for a Private University (1)
Repulse Bay is located in the south of Victoria Shan on Hong Kong Island, surrounded by mountains and sea, with a crescent-shaped bay, known as "the first bay in the world" and also known as "Oriental Hawaii", and is the most representative bay in Hong Kong. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Repulse Bay is said to have originated from a British royal warship that used to be stationed in the bay to defend against pirates, meaning "to repel it".
The inlet is in the south of Hong Kong Island, with a gentle slope and a long beach, calm waves, clear water and fine sand, and a wide and clean beach. Clean and shallow, warm in winter and cool in summer, the water temperature is between 16 degrees Celsius and 27 degrees Celsius, it has always been a resort for Hong Kong people to spend summer and make tides, and it is also a famous scenic spot that tourists must visit.
In the past, one of the eight views of the Xiangjiang River, "the ups and downs of the sea country", referred to the beach of Repulse Bay.
In addition, Repulse Bay is one of the most noble residential areas in Hong Kong, with many villas and mansions scattered on the slopes of the bay, countless mansions and villas hidden among tall trees and bushes, and only a wide asphalt road stretches around like branches of trees, connecting these mansions and villas.
At this time, a car is speeding on this asphalt road that serves as a connecting link.
Sitting in the car was Ye Kai's butler Alvin, who had been in Hong Kong for several days, and in the past few days, he had visited several minority shareholders who owned shares in TVB and successfully acquired 10% of the shares from them at a premium.
Today, they are going to visit Yu Lao, who owns 20% of the shares of TVB.
Born into the famous Yu family in Hong Kong, Yu Lao has an unrivalled reputation in Hong Kong's education industry, and is the operator and de facto administrator of many educational institutions and private schools.
Yu Lao entered the broadcasting media industry entirely with the concept of promoting Hong Kong's local culture and disseminating traditional Chinese culture. Therefore, he himself is disgusted by all acquisitions that are stained with the smell of copper.
Helplessly, people walking in the world are an invisible net, and they can't get rid of the worldliness of human relations at all, because there is always a certain gap between ideals and reality.
Forced to do so, Elder Yu reluctantly met with Alvin and his party.
Yu Lao, who wanted to chat casually and send Alvin and his party away, didn't expect that Alvin wouldn't play cards according to the routine at all.
Alvin first chatted with Mr. Yu about the two pillar industries in Hong Kong, finance and real estate, and then turned to the education industry that Mr. Yu was interested in.
Yu Lao just dealt with Alvin's topic without a word, in fact, he was very disdainful in his heart, you are a foreign devil who can't even speak Cantonese, do you know Hong Kong?
However, as Alvin elaborated more and more deeply, Yu Lao couldn't help but let go of his contempt and began to put aside his prejudices and listen carefully, occasionally expressing his own opinions.
Seeing that Yu Lao was talking about sex, Alvin slowly shifted the topic to the education industry.
"Mr. Yu, why do you think Hong Kong's housing prices are so high?" Alvin said. "Because the prosperous places are concentrated in the urban area, and all kinds of jobs and employment places are also in the urban area, the concentration of people will inevitably lead to strong demand, but the wealth of these people is like a pool of stagnant water, because there is no big water infusion, there is not too much money to buy a house, and real estate businessmen will not buy another land to build a building."
Alvin talked eloquently, and Yu Lao couldn't help but nod.
"As a result, housing prices remain high in the urban area, but the suburbs are a large wasteland." Alvin continued. "The previous Governor of Hong Kong saw the problem in this regard, and vigorously built industrial parks and developed industries, trying to attract external funds and turn Hong Kong's wealth pool into living water."
"The Governor's idea is very good, but the actual effect is not good, because this external capital needs to be wealth from outside Hong Kong, and it needs a lot of money to do it. However, what do you think of the products that come out of those industrial parks in Hong Kong? Basically, they are electronic products with very small technical content and weak market competitiveness, and the OEM trade ........."
"Indeed, it is impossible to revitalize Hong Kong's economy and make Hong Kong's economy down-to-earth by relying on these alone." Yu Lao said. "It will only be possible to bring in powerful industrial groups to inject a shot in the arm for Hong Kong's economy."
"Even if we can bring in strong industrial groups, Hong Kong lacks the soil to survive in its current state." Alvin said.
"Why? Does Mr. Alvin have any unique insights? "Yu Lao is interested.
"If a group company wants to settle in a place, in addition to considering local policies and regulations, more importantly, the human environment." Alvin said. "Industrial groups, in particular, need to consider whether there is local talent available to them. However, do you think Hong Kong has talent in this area? ”
"How could it not be?" Yu Lao was unconvinced. "Isn't Hong Kong's Polytechnic nurturing talents in this area?"
"The industrial group focuses on R&D personnel, because technicians can train themselves, but R&D personnel are incompetent." Alvin explained with a smile. "And the polytechnic you mentioned should be regarded as a vocational training school, and the students who come out of it can only be regarded as technical talents, and they are 108,000 miles away from the R&D personnel who are in charge alone."
Yu Lao blushed rarely, because he himself knew the details of this college, it was really a vocational training school as Alvin said, but even so, Yu Lao felt uncomfortable, no matter how bad the college was, it was not a taste for a foreigner to make irresponsible remarks.
Yu Lao's conversation was suddenly torn apart by Alvin, and he said angrily: "We have been talking for so long, let's return to your previous intentions, to be honest, I am not going to sell the shares of TVB, if there is nothing else, please go back." ”
"Isn't Mr. Yu going to listen to our chips before making a decision?" was rejected by Yu Lao, Alvin was not annoyed, but said with a smile.
"What leverage do you have?" Yu Lao pursed his lips disdainfully and said. "It's nothing more than money, to be honest, our Yu family is not bad at this share of money, if it's a matter of money, I don't think there is any need to talk about it between us."
After speaking, Yu Lao stood up and prepared to serve tea to the guests.
"Mr. Yu, don't be in a hurry to refuse." Alvin saw that Yu Lao was really as Ye Kai said, he was a noble literati in his bones, and he couldn't do it with money at all.
In Ye Kai's words, for a literati who regards reputation as life and money as dung, if there is anything that can touch his heart, then there is only something or something that can give him greater honor!
