At 9 a.m. on July 28, Liu Siwei walked out of the Kwai Fang subway station with his son in one hand and his suitcase in the other. Zhang Hui and Guo Junru and Shen Xinru, the first batch of people to work in Hong Kong, also dragged their suitcases and followed.

Changing buses, heading west, farther and farther away from the bustling city, almost as soon as we reached Container Terminal 7, we stopped in front of an old factory building.

The rough and bare concrete walls, unadorned, in disrepair, badly weathered, and the potholed stones are exposed, looking very dilapidated, as if telling the vicissitudes and ups and downs of Hong Kong's industrial history.

When the destination arrived, Liu Siwei took the key from the long-waiting doorman, turned around and asked, "Do you feel disappointed?" ”

How could Guo Junru not know that he was asking himself, shook his head and smiled: "Chairman, it's much better than our temporary dormitory." ”

The multi-storey factory buildings in front of me and the surrounding buildings are all warehouses and factory buildings. Through the roller shutter that the doorman has just opened, you can see the traces of the large freight elevator and workshop inside, which can remind people of the bustling, rumbling machines, and production in full swing.

With the relocation of Hong Kong's manufacturing industry to the mainland, these industrial buildings have fulfilled their historical mission and completed the transformation from intensive industries to economic headquarters and decision-making headquarters.

Looking around, the charter was full of emotion, put down the luggage and said meaningfully: "These industrial buildings, I don't know how many Hong Kong manufacturing enterprises have been confirmed by the history of the rise and fall of Hong Kong's manufacturing enterprises, can be said to be witnessing the cultural relics of Hong Kong's manufacturing industry." We don't need to make the headquarters beautiful like other companies, nor do we need to show strength and style through high-rise buildings and luxury decoration, this simple style is very good, it can always remind us to sail against the current and retreat, remind us that if we don't work hard today, we will work hard to find a job tomorrow! ”

finally arrived in Hong Kong, but had to live in such a shabby place, Zhang Hui, who had only lived in a few days, was a little lost, and said in a slighted manner: "Okay, okay, my sister knows your ambitions, go in and help clean up, if you don't clean up, where will we live at night?" ”

Liu Siwei is simply a super wife, for fear that Zhang Hui will blame him, he hurriedly picked himself clean, and said very unrighteously: "Third brother, the place is your choice, and you have to do more work." ”

"I'm going to work more if I choose? Besides, isn't this place quite haode? ”

Looking at his innocent look, Zhang Huile pretended to be angry and asked, "Tell me, tell my sister, what's so good about this place?" ”

"You women just have long hair and short knowledge."

The charter gave her a roll of the eyes, pointed to the pier in the distance and said: "See, there is the busiest pier in Hong Kong and even in Shijie, and then follow the direction of my finger, the sea in the middle of those islands will be filled in, replacing Kai Tak Airport as Hong Kong's future international airport." We put the headquarters in, not only the personnel travel conveniently, the future goods re-export is also convenient, and more importantly, the rent is cheap! ”

Hong Kong's property market is in a downturn after an unprecedented stock market crash, with residential prices falling and factory rents hitting record lows.

The 123rd floor, known as Fengxin Industrial Building, with a total area of 41,610 square feet, was sold at a monthly rental price of HK$58,000, with an average rent of HK$1.3 per square foot. After deducting the relevant management fees and all miscellaneous expenses, the monthly rent is only more than HK$20,000, and the average rent per square foot is less than HK$0.6, setting a record low in the newly independent Kwai Tsing District.

Of course, cheap is not good, and good is not cheap.

The building is more than 30 years old, and the interior is relatively dilapidated and the location is relatively remote.

However, in the eyes of the charter, it is not a problem, the age of the building does not mean that the quality is poor, according to the construction standards of the British government in Hong Kong, at least another sixty or seventy years can be lived. The interior is dilapidated and can be renovated, and when the new airport project is launched in the future, there is no so-called remoteness, if it is not for the shortage of funds, even if all the belongings of NB Electric are sold, it is not enough, he has to spend 30 million or 40 million Hong Kong dollars to buy this building.

Zhang Hui asked again: "San'er, how do you know that there will be an airport there?" ”

The charter hugged Xiao Jiahui from Liu Siwei's arms, and said with a disdainful face: "I am about to become a Hong Kong person, and I usually don't pay attention to Hong Kong news." Everyone on earth knows about the airport, but you don't. ”

"Really?"

Liu Siwei nodded and confirmed: "My dear, the third brother didn't lie to you, the number of aircraft movements at Kai Tak Airport has far exceeded its saturation procedures, and the Hong Kong government believes that if the new airport is not built, Hong Kong will suffer huge economic losses." In addition, Kai Tak Airport has only one runway, with an average of 36 flights taking off and landing per hour, which is close to one flight per minute during peak hours, which is already the limit of safety considerations.

In addition, the runway is too close to the taxiway, and any accident is enough to paralyze the entire airport; Under the waterway, there is a densely populated residential area, and the consequences of accidents are at risk, so a new airport must be built, and even the site selection and planning of the new airport have been completed. However, as far as I know, it seems that there has been no agreement with the mainland, and it is not clear when it will be built. ”

Shen Xinru was confused, and asked incomprehensibly: "Chairman, it hasn't reached the ninth seven yet, what does the construction of Hong Kong's airport have to do with China?" ”

"Of course, it is related, the new airport is expensive, and the loan required for the project will inevitably span 1997, and the mainland government believes that the new airport project will cause a financial burden to the future SAR government, so it is opposed to this issue."

At this time and that time, the charter secretly sighed that even the central leaders could not believe that China's economy would develop rapidly in the next 10 years, let alone build a new airport, with trillions of foreign exchange reserves in hand, and it would be no problem to build ten or eight of them.

NB Electric seizes the day and will never waste even a little time.

Cleaning up does not need to be done by everyone at all, just put down the luggage to pick a clean room, three box trucks with the words of the cleaning company slowly stopped in front of the door, nearly 20 "fully armed" cleaners under the command of the manager, dragged and wiped, wiped and wiped, less than two hours, the floor was cleaned.

The telephone company came to install landline telephones and faxes, Hutchison Telecommunications sent six big brothers, and by the time Red Apple Furniture Co., Ltd. sent four truckloads of office and living furniture, the entrance of the building was already crowded.

"Mr. Liu, I'm Jack Wang of the Boston Consulting Group, and I talked to you on the phone before, is it convenient to talk now?"

"Hello Mr. Liu, I am Huang Jiaoyan of Pinshang Group, I will be responsible for your company's case, this is the design department colleagues for your company tailor-made three sets of plans, if not suitable we can change it."

"Feiteng Advertising Planning Company Gu Jiasheng, Mr. Liu, this is my business card, I have also spoken to you on the phone before, and it is an honor to meet you."

……

Headhunters, decoration companies, advertising companies, law firms, finance companies...... Even the Chen Kee Tea Restaurant opposite sent a guy to try to develop the newly moved NB Electric Company into its own guest.

"Miss Huang, this is Miss Lin, the chief designer of our company, you can talk to her directly about the decoration. You are Ah Peng, I went to your restaurant last time I came to see the real estate agent, the taste is very good, I am too busy today, please help me deliver seven lunches, and I will take care of your business when I have time......"

Liu Siwei was so busy that he didn't send off all the neighbors who came to congratulate him one by one, and then sat on the leather sofa he had just sent with the charter to read the information sent by the Boston headhunting company.

"Nguyen Shao Kyung, one of the first Vietnamese refugees to flee Hong Kong, graduated from INSEAD, the most respected business school in Europe, and is fluent in French and English, as well as a high level of Cantonese, which fully meets your employment standards."

Jack Wang of the Boston Consulting Group sells his talents like a commodity, speaking Cantonese and English for fear that others will not know that he is also a high-quality talent.

“…… I have faxed Mr. Daniel's resume to you before, and I have also introduced your company to him, he is very interested in the position and salary offered by your company, and even plans to get married early to show his love for Hong Kong. ”

Daniel, a German student studying at the School of Journalism and Communication at the University of Chinese Hong Kong, fell in love with a Hong Kong girl during his studies, and decided to stay and work in Hong Kong.

This is an excellent candidate, and he also understands Spanish, and before Liu Siwei could speak, he said in English: "Mr. Wang, you can inform him to come to work tomorrow, as for the others, we still need to conduct interviews." ”

"Well, I'll make you happy."

Just sent away the fake foreign devils of the headhunting company, Gu Jiasheng, the business manager of the advertising company who had been waiting for a long time, interjected, took out a lot of information from the briefcase, and introduced it with a smile: "Mr. Liu, your company's product promotion meeting at 8:08 on the 8th of next month, we have come up with a total of four sets of plans. It is worth mentioning that our company has always maintained a good relationship with Dongcheng International, and similar activities have been held in Dongcheng International no less than 20 times, and each time it has been very successful......"

Xiao Jiahui cried, Liu Siwei couldn't sit still, and he couldn't stand it, so he interrupted: "Mr. Gu, do you speak Mandarin?" ”

"A little."

"Well, if you have any questions about the product launch, you can talk directly to our commercial director, Mr. Chen. Don't bother, next month's promotion will be nothing compared to the next series of product promotion events to be held in Europe. ”

Gu Jiasheng was stunned, then reacted, and asked half-convinced: "Zhang...... Chapter...... Mr. Zhang, are you saying that your company needs a full set of planning solutions? ”

The charter smiled and said meaningfully: "The premise is that your company has this strength." ”

"Of course, of course there is," Gu Jiasheng was ecstatic, hurriedly took out the eldest brother, and said apologetically while dialing: "Wait a minute, I think I should call our boss first." ”
