At 7 o'clock in the morning on August 13, 1976, after having breakfast in the restaurant of the Magic Star Villa, me, Xiaoda, Doctor, Xiaoming and Wen Tao watched the morning news on TV in the living room, and everyone watched and chatted.

The doctor said, "Ah Cai! Are you really going to help the CIA build a big wharf?! ”

I said, "Yes! It's all Mr. Tao who came to us for something! Mr. Tao said, once a business is completed, we can make a lot of money! ”

Xiaoming sneered and said, "Ah Cai! You're so stupid! will believe the nonsense of the surname Tao! Why didn't the CIA do it at its own expense?! Do you have to invest with a small boss like you?! Are you richer than the CIA?! Alas! It's obvious, are they going to take your money to spend on them?! Ahh Wake up, you can't be deceived by the surname Tao! It's not easy for you to get that little money from people! Keep it for your own family and start a business! ”

Everyone was silent!

The doctor smiled and said, "Doing business should be more reliable than buying lottery tickets, right?!" I feel that running a port business is indeed a good business! The CIA is a public unit, what does it have to do with the individual managers whether the public earns or not?! Teacher Tao is Ah Cai's future father-in-law, right?! Therefore, Mr. Tao transferred this business to Ah Cai through Jefferson! This is called fertilizer water does not flow into the fields of outsiders! Do you understand?! This kind of good thing doesn't happen every day! You really misunderstand Mr. Tao! ”

Xiaoming said a little angrily: "Doctor Wei! You must be poor and insane! That's why you have this kind thought! According to you, the liars all over the world are happy to help others?! Yes! Just said I said the wrong thing! In the future, I will not care about this matter anymore! y'all guys! ”

Wen Tao said: "Ah Cai! I really don't understand business matters! However, I feel that everything should be aware of anti-fraud and anti-theft! Of course, if you want to help with the work, I will definitely not postpone it! ”

After the conversation, the doctor, Xiaoming and Wen Tao went to work at the service station.

Xiaoda smiled and said, "Ah Cai! Let's go and find out about the purchase of project land, shall we?! ”

I said, "Of course! I'll send money to the bank account of Haolong immediately! If people see our company's account, they don't have a penny! Who would believe that we are genuine buyers of land?! ”

So, I called UBS's escrow payment hotline from my home phone.

After the hotline was dialed, I remitted US$100 million of the company's operating reserves from Zhou Zilong's UBS account to Haolong's corporate account.

After the remittance, Xiaoda and I brought the business license of the CIA service station in Port City (the public name is the USA Cultural and Economic Exchange Association), the business authorization letter of the CIA service station, the approval of the CIACEDP for the establishment of the local port base, the business license of the Haolong Port Company and other documents, personal documents, weapons and cash, etc., we believe that when buying land, we need to provide supporting documents to the authorities.

After preparing the documents to bring, Xiaoche and I went to Mr. Zeng Chunzheng and asked him about the purchase of land.

......

At around 9 o'clock in the morning, we arrived at Mr. Tsang's office in the Financial Secretary.

Mr. Zeng was very happy to see us come to visit him!

Mr. Zeng asked us to sit on the sofa and drink coffee and talk to him.

First of all, I explained to Mr. Zeng that we were going to help the CIA build a port and logistics base, and that we were going to buy the land for this project.

Teacher Zeng smiled and said, "This is a good thing! The CIA is a traditional ally of the Hong Kong government! The Hong Kong government will definitely welcome you to invest here! Ahh Now, the price of land in Port City is the cheapest, and it is very cost-effective for you to buy land at this time! ”

I said, "Teacher Zeng! It's my first time buying land, can you introduce me to some acquaintances?! I would like to know more about the purchase from these acquaintances! ”

He said, "Yes! You can go to Mr. Ma Zhaolin, the deputy secretary of the Chief Executive! He's a good friend of mine! Their office building is not far from us! If you're going to visit, I can call you to let you know! ”

I said, "Teacher Zeng! Then please help us report, we want to visit Director Ma now! ”

So, Mr. Zeng immediately picked up the phone on the table and told Director Ma about our visit to him.

After Mr. Zeng spoke with Director Ma on the phone, he said, "Ah Cai! I've got you in touch! Go over now! ”

I said, "Okay! Mr. Zeng, after I got the land, I will immediately plan and design this port and logistics base project! Can you recommend us a better design company in Port City! ”

Teacher Zeng smiled and said, "Ah Cai! Project planning and design are easy to do! Do you remember, my son David Zeng? David is working as a design executive for one of the UK's most prestigious engineering and architectural design firms! This company is qualified and very good, you can go to David to learn about project planning and design! ”

I smiled and said, "Teacher Zeng! Yes, Brother David is a designer! You can give us the contact information of Brother David! After taking the land, we went to him to learn about the planning and design aspects of the project! ”

So, Mr. Zeng immediately wrote down the address and phone number of David Zeng's design company on the note, and then he handed the note to us.

After we finished our business with Mr. Tsang, we left the Financial Secretary building.

We drove to the office building in the parking lot of the courtyard of the Financial Secretary's building.

On the way, Xiaoda said, "Ah Cai! Do you think we can really get our hands on the CIA?! But what about our money being tied up in the project by them?! Now, the market in Hong Kong City is so sluggish, we enter the market at this time, is the business risk too great?! Do you want to think about it! Then, let's go buy the land! If, buying land, we are really riding on the back of a tiger! There's no turning back! ”

I said, "Alas! We're just building a port! The port city is the only convenient passage from the mainland to the world, and now, the port city market is sluggish because the business with the mainland has not yet been done! It is impossible for the mainland to be isolated from the world for a long time, right?! Why does the CIA engage in economic and cultural infiltration?! Isn't it just to connect the mainland market with the international market?! In fact, the market downturn means that prices and service fees are cheap now! In this way, at this time, we can develop this project, the cost can be the lowest! ”

Xiaoda smiled and said, "Ah Cai! If only you thought it through! Looks like we're really going to be the big boss! ”

Everyone laughed!

At around 10 o'clock in the morning, we arrived at the office building of the Chief Executive.

After registering at the front desk of the building, we were allowed to go to Mr. Ma's office.

When we arrived at Ma Zhaolin's office, he was waiting for us inside.

Everyone introduced each other, and because of Mr. Zeng's introduction, we and Deputy Director Ma suddenly became acquaintances.

After introducing each other, everyone sat down on the office sofa and drank coffee and started to talk about business.

After explaining my intentions, I handed over my personal documents, the business license of the USA Cultural and Economic Exchange Association, the authorization letter for the operation of the CIA service station, the approval of the CIACEDP for the establishment of the local port base, and the business license of the Haolong Port Company.

After reading the documents and documents, Director Ma smiled and said, "Stationmaster Jack! Welcome to CIA's investment in Hong Kong City! Have you already set your sights on that piece of land in the Hong Kong government? ”

I told Director Ma the stake number, specific address and location of the land we saw yesterday.

Then, I showed the photographs we had taken on that piece of land to Director Ma.

Director Ma smiled and said, "Oh! This is a piece of land that we just acquired! If you want to get the land today, I will ask my secretary, Mr. Ma Yishan! I would like to tell you about the details of this land and the details of the transaction! ”

I said, "Okay! If we feel that the trading conditions and price are what we want, we really want to buy the land today! We would like to talk to Mr. Ma Yishan right away! ”

So, Director Ma called Mr. Ma Yishan by phone.

Mr. Ma Yishan is a middle-aged man in his thirties, dressed as a gentleman and of medium height.

After we met with Secretary Ma, Mr. Ma asked us to pack up our documents and documents, and go to his office with Mr. Ma Yishan to discuss the purchase of land.

When we arrived at Ma Yishan's office, we sat down on the hair and drank coffee and talked.

Secretary Ma smiled and said, "You are graduates of local universities, you should know the land policy of the Hong Kong government, right?!" The land you are looking at has a service life of 150 years in the New Territories! In the planning of the authorities, this land can be used to berth bulk carriers, container ships, passenger ships and other port terminals of more than 5,000 tons, as well as supporting office and logistics facilities, but oil tanker terminals and oil storage depots cannot be built! ”

I said, "Good! How much land is used? ”

Secretary Ma said: "According to the plan of the map, there are 1,100 hectares of this land, of which 400 hectares are tidal flats and 700 hectares are wasteland. The subsequent reserved land connected to the plot is 1,000 hectares, and these reserved plots are the supporting land of the port project, and we reserve the right of first refusal for you for three years after you take the land! The reserved land can be used for the development and operation of supporting markets and living facilities! ”

I said, "Good! Secretary Ma will talk to us about the transaction price and method! ”

Secretary Ma said: "According to the current listing price of the land, the tidal flat is quoted at 10,000 US dollars/ha, and the wasteland is quoted at 22,500 US dollars/ha, with a total price of 19.75 million US dollars, and the deed tax should be about 600,000 US dollars according to the calculation of 3% of the total!" In the process of building the port, the newly generated land such as land reclamation will be used for 150 years free of charge, and the area of land reclamation will be controlled within 50% of the tidal flat area, that is, 200 hectares! ”

I said, "Secretary Ma! Is this price still discounted? ”

Secretary Ma said with a smile: "There is very little room for negotiation for this price!" If you pay in full today, I can help you apply for a 95% discount on the merchandising price! At the same time, your CIA is tax-exempt, and I can help you apply for tax exemption! ”

I said, "Good! What is the current situation of this plot in terms of land leveling, urban roads, water supply and drainage, electricity, and communications? ”

Secretary Ma said with a smile: "At present, the land acquisition, demolition and leveling have been completed, on the construction of urban infrastructure, after the completion of the land acquisition, design and planning, you go to the Department of Public Works for the record and review, they will immediately give you the construction and improvement of urban infrastructure support!" You don't have to worry about that! ”

I said, "Okay! Can we go through the land purchase procedures and payment now? ”

Secretary Ma smiled and said, "Of course you can!" Come with me with your papers and papers! ”

So, Xiaoda and I followed Secretary Ma to the Land Trading Center, where Secretary Ma was the deputy director, with briefcases containing ID and documents.

We went to the land trading center where we worked in the same building, where Secretary Ma knew that I had filled in the "Land Purchase Application and Approval Form", "Registration Form for Purchase of Place", "Land Purchase Contract", "Land Purchase Preferential Approval Form" and other forms and contract documents, and attached my personal documents, Haolong company certificates, as well as the business license of the USA Exchange Association, the authorization letter of the CIA service station, etc.

Secretary Ma asked the clerk to take me to sign a series of forms and contract documents.

After signing the contract for the land purchase, Secretary Ma and the clerk took the forms and contract documents that I had signed to other windows and departments to help us handle the approval and verification of the land purchase.

Soon the clerk came back and told me that the formalities had been completed.

Then, the clerk asked me to go with him to trade the money.

At the transaction window, I entrusted the payment by phone, and according to the instructions of the window staff, I paid 18.8 million US dollars from the account of Haolong Company to the account of the trading center for land purchase and miscellaneous expenses.

After the payment was successful, we got the land ownership documents such as the "Land Purchase Contract", "Land Certificate", "Parcel Map", "Reclamation Surveying and Mapping" and "Land Planning and Instruction Manual" that I had signed and stamped with the official seal of the trading center.

At the same time, they returned my personal documents, Haolong company documents, as well as the original documents such as the business license of the USA Exchange Association and the authorization letter of the CIA service station, and issued us a tax exemption of $18.8 million**.

In this way, we have the right to develop and use this piece of land in Kowloon West for 150 years, with a total land area of 1,100 hectares, including 400 hectares of tidal flats, 700 hectares of wasteland, 200 hectares of land reclamation indicators and 150 years of free use rights, and a three-year right of first refusal to purchase 1,000 hectares of reserved land for the linkage development of port projects.

After Xiaoda and I packed up these documents and documents, we went to Ma Zhaolin and Ma Yishan's office to say goodbye to them.

Then, after that, left the Chief Executive's Building.

When we arrived at the building's parking lot, it was already noon.

So, Xiaoda and I drove to the address of David Zeng's design company to find a Chinese restaurant for lunch.

David Tsang's design firm is located in the area around Tsim Sha Tsui, Kowloon.

Soon, we were looking for a Chinese restaurant in a secluded location in the Tsim Sha Tsui area of Kowloon.

After parking in the restaurant parking lot, we went in and ordered food, and then, we sat and chatted over tea.

Xiaoda said: "Ah Cai! You're too fierce! We don't know anything about the development and operation of ports! You buy the land in a hurry! We still have to spend a lot of money to develop such a large piece of land with no edge in sight, right?! What if we run out of money?! ”

I laughed and said, "Alas! Money can make ghosts grind! We won't do it, just pay an expert to do it for us! How can someone who can do business not have money to use?! When we first came out of the secret service school, did we have the money?! At that time, we were the poorest people in the world! Earning money requires calmness, wisdom, courage and fighting spirit! I feel that nothing in this world can stump us! Do you understand? ”

Xiaoda smiled and said, "Understood! If there is no money, let's go and grab the money again! Now, we are working under the sign of the CIA, who is afraid of whom! Right? ”

I said, "That makes sense! However, we are not robbing money, we are automatically sent to us by others! Because, we give them the opportunity to earn money and live! Do you understand?! Good business is all about helping each other and dealing fairly! The rental price of each building of our magic star villa is now 1.5 million US dollars/year, which is a small amount! Think about it, in the future, how much rent can be charged for berths, wharves, freight yards and warehouses in this port?! ”

Xiaoda smiled and said, "Yes! This income is an astronomical figure! Looks like we're going to make a fortune! ”

Everyone laughed!
