"Liang Lao, as long as the price is right, this construction bid will definitely be won by a mainland construction company." Lei Weidong said with a smile: "But among the companies bidding now, there are two strongest opponents, and Liang Lao needs to pay more attention!" ”

"Which two?" President Liang asked.

"The first one was the Golden Gate Construction Company, which has a long history, founded in 1919, by John Gammon in India, and of course the head office in India.

The Hong Kong branch is mainly engaged in construction and civil engineering in Hong Kong, after participating in the construction of Hong Kong's Kai Tak Airport in 1955, the Hong Kong branch became an independent company, listed in Hong Kong from 1970 to 1975, because in the 1970s, the purchase of Admiralty Barracks to build the Golden Gate Building and more famous, later renamed Gammon Construction Company.

Of course, if this is all there is, Gammon Construction is not the strongest opponent, the key is that it is now a subsidiary of Jardine Matheson.

In 1969, Jardine Matheson began to purchase a small amount of shares in Gammon Construction, and in 1970, Gammon Construction went public, and in May 1975, Jardine Matheson announced that it would exchange nine shares of Jardine Matheson with a face value of $6 for ten shares of Gammon Construction with a face value of five yuan, and privatized the company to delist the company.

It can be said that it is really relying on Jardine Matheson, and now Gammon Construction Company is currently the most powerful construction company in Hong Kong, the general contractor of many construction projects in Hong Kong and the Asia-Pacific region, and it can also be said that it is the representative of British capital in Hong Kong's construction industry.

It is also the biggest opponent of the mainland construction company in this bidding.

It is characterized by strong capital and close relations with the British government in Hong Kong, and it must be known that Jardine Matheson is one of the four major foreign banks in Hong Kong, and its influence in Hong Kong is not comparable to that of Lei Weidong, a newly baked billionaire. Coupled with the hypocrisy of the British, it can be said that in order to win this project, it is even possible to exert pressure through politicians.

As for the other company, it should not be underestimated, Lei Weidong continued.

This company is not a single company, but a consortium of several Chinese construction companies in Hong Kong that have joined forces to bid for a joint tender, including Cheung Kong Industrial, Zhaoji Properties and Zheng Daheng's real estate company, which can be said to be the most powerful Chinese real estate company in Hong Kong.

Maybe the strength of just one real estate company is not very large, not as good as Jardine Matheson, and there is no manpower and material resources to build 23 buildings at a time, but a consortium of several Chinese real estate companies.

Its strength can be said to be that Jardine Matheson should also avoid its edge, after all, Li Shoufu's Cheung Kong Industrial, Li Sishu's Zhaoji Real Estate and Zheng Daheng's real estate company are all the best among Hong Kong Chinese real estate companies.

Now Hong Kong is the era of Hong Kong's entry into Britain and retreat, and the strength of Hong Kong's Chinese capital has been rising, and it has become the largest force in Hong Kong, of which the real estate force is the largest part of the Chinese power.

What's more important is that Li Shoufu, Li Sishu, Zheng Daheng and others are all from Hong Kong wealthy families, plus the complex relationship between Hong Kong wealthy families, but they can fully represent Hong Kong wealthy families, plus their relationship with HSBC is very good, and their influence in Hong Kong has generally surpassed Jardine Matheson, so it can be said that there is no problem in completing this project.

"Yes, Lei Shao, your evaluation of these two companies is very correct!" President Liang nodded in agreement with Lei Weidong's analysis.

President Liang, who has been doing united front work all his life, has been in Hong Kong for so long, and he knows everything in Hong Kong as if he is in charge, so he naturally knows who the competitors of this project bidding are.

It can be said that the two companies participating in the bidding are representatives of Hong Kong British Capital and Hong Kong Chinese Capital.

Just because he knows the details of his competitors, President Liang is now feeling troubled.

Although it is said that the strength of mainland construction companies far exceeds that of them because they are backed by the country, as the saying goes, a strong dragon does not suppress the snake.

In Hong Kong, these two companies can be said to be the head snakes, taking advantage of the geographical advantage. It is more difficult for mainland construction companies to suppress them in Hong Kong, and the prejudice of many Hong Kong people against the mainland is a headache for President Liang.

Looking at where President Liang was distressed by these two competitors, Lei Weidong couldn't help but be a little funny, the older generation of revolutionaries was really simple.

"Elder Liang, don't worry, like I said, this time as long as we highlight our strengths, it's too easy to defeat these two companies!"

"I know, Lei Shao, if you follow your method, as long as the construction period is set tighter and the construction cost is lower, there is basically no problem in winning this project! However, what I am worried about is that after we win this project, these two companies will not be willing to fail and make a bad mistake in it, and through the British government in Hong Kong, they will not allow mainland construction companies to build in Hong Kong, which will be troublesome! ”

President Liang said what he was worried about, and it turned out that President Liang thought that some ordinary companies would participate in this bidding, and when the time came, it would be easy for mainland construction companies to go to Hong Kong. And now the opponents are these two landlords, and it will be so easy for them to find trouble when the time comes!

"This needs to find someone to dredge, Liang Lao, it should have something to do with you in Hong Kong for so long!" Lei Weidong asked.

"The relationship is there! But it doesn't work much, so you can only try it then! President Liang said with some distress, although he can earn a lot of foreign exchange, but after all, it is only a private project, and it is not worth using some connections for this Hong Kong, but if he does not use it, he is afraid that there will be problems at that time.

"I know a person who can solve the problem, as long as this person comes forward, it is a trivial matter for a mainland construction company to take over a job in Hong Kong." Seeing the dozens of years old man buried his head there, Lei Weidong comforted.

"Who can solve it!" President Liang had some doubts, after all, Jardine Matheson was not easy to deal with.

"Now is not the time to talk about this, we will first take down the bid, and then say, if we can't win the project, everything will be in vain.

Lei Weidong shook his head and said, Now is not the time to talk about this person.

"Yes, let's take the project down first, and the rest will be talked about later!" President Liang nodded, indicating that he was a little anxious just now.

Now that the matter has been settled, the next thing is simple, Lei Weidong and President Liang have some communication on the bidding situation, to see how this matter works, and strive to do as much as possible to benefit the mainland company when making the announcement.

--------------------

"Huo Lao, what do you think of this young man?" Not long after Lei Weidong left, a middle-aged man who looked to be in his fifties walked in.

If Lei Weidong is still there, he must know that this person is the famous red tycoon Huo Yingdong.

Although Huo Yingdong has retired to the background, his status in Hong Kong is still unparalleled, not only as the vice president of the Chinese General Chamber of Commerce, but also as the president of the Real Estate Construction Association.

He has been involved in Hong Kong's real estate industry since the 50s, and is an old-timer of Lee Ka-shing, Cheng Yu-tung, Lee Chiu-kee and others.

If it weren't for the red tycoon's hat, Huo Yingdong would have been suppressed by the British government in Hong Kong and British-funded foreign firms, and I am afraid that there would have been nothing to do with Li Shoufu and others.

And because of his red tycoon hat, Huo Yingdong has a particularly good relationship with Xinhua News Agency, and Xinhua News Agency has asked Huo Yingdong to handle many Hong Kong affairs.

"It's hard to say! Liang Lao! Huo Yingdong sat casually opposite President Liang, picked up the teacup and took a few sips, it can be seen from Huo Yingdong's casual appearance that the two are old friends.

"What's so bad to say, what are you polite in front of me!" President Liang has some opinions about Huo Yingdong's sale of Guanzi.

"It's really hard to say! It's the first time I've seen such a young man in decades! Huo Yingdong shook his head and said, "How can you say it!" Judging from how he speaks and acts, he is very naïve, and if it weren't for the fact that he has already created an astonishing wealth and career, I would only treat him as an ordinary young man. And I don't see any possibility of success for him at all! ”

Huo Yingdong's level of looking at people is very accurate, in his previous life, Lei Weidong was just an ordinary citizen, and he couldn't do anything big at all.

If it weren't for the fact that Lei Weidong now knows the big things that will happen, and a good brain who can remember the past things can be laid out in advance, Lei Weidong's achievements in this life would not be very good.

There is no way that Lei Weidong himself is at most a middle-aged qualification, which can be said to be too far behind Huo Yingdong and Li Shoufu, who are dragons in the world. This can be seen from the fact that Lei Weidong could only be admitted to a junior college in his previous life.

"Then Huo Lao, what do you think of what Lei Weidong just said, finding someone to come forward can easily handle the matter of mainland construction companies taking jobs in Hong Kong?"

Huo Yingdong's answer just now, in fact, President Liang also recognized it, and after being in contact with Lei Weidong for so long, President Liang also found that Lei Weidong sometimes acted and spoke like a person who had never seen the world.

But such a person easily obtained wealth that others could not imagine. This is also what President Liang can't figure out. Is it really in response to the old saying, the little rich are diligent and thrifty, and the big rich are promoted.

"If I could guess whether it's true or not, I wouldn't be drinking tea with you here!" Huo Yingdong was also very depressed about President Liang's words, because he couldn't think of anyone who could do this, you must know that there was Jardine Matheson, one of the four major foreign companies in Hong Kong, making trouble.

Although a person's ability and character account for a large part of the reasons for whether they can be rich or not, it is undeniable that vision is also very important. Because when there are many things that need you to make a decision, the long-term vision determines whether your decision is correct or not.

Lei Weidong is much worse than people like Huo Yingdong in terms of ability and personality, but because of the knowledge of more than 30 yuan, Lei Weidong's vision is much stronger than these people, and there is no way to call Lei Weidong a traverser, and this is the welfare of a traverser.

Therefore, Huo Yingdong didn't know who to ask for help, while Lei Weidong just knew that Shen Bi might help him and laid out in advance.
