102 New Headquarters Intended

Repulse Bay Villa, Swimming Pool.

After floating in the water for 20 minutes, Chen Zhiwen got up from the railing and walked up, and the nanny next to him brought a bath towel to wipe the water.

"It's only been 20 minutes, and you're tired?" Chen Tianfu, who was reading the newspaper by the pool, said with a smile.

"It's not that I'm tired, it's that this pool is too small, and it's so big to swim around, it's too boring." Chen Zhiwen said with a smile, and at the same time took the small buns on the table and ate them, after staying in the United States for a while, the most memorable thing is some snacks in Hong Kong.

"20 meters long is not small, or you can tear down the small pavilion over there and expand the swimming pool." Chen Tianfu said with a smile.

"Forget it, it won't be able to expand a few meters if it is demolished, and it will make the yard uncoordinated, so I'll think about it when I change to Taiping Mountain in the future." Chen Zhiwen leaned back on the seat and said very relaxedly.

"The house in Taiping Mountain is not necessarily as large as this area." Chen Tianfu said with a smile.

"The area is enough, the main thing is status, status symbols, and security issues." Chen Zhiwen shrugged and said.

Villas, they can afford to live in, how can the area not be enough? Besides, it may not be convenient to live if it is really too big, and it is not good to be extreme, not everyone likes to build a very ugly super mansion in the center of the city as their residence, like the richest man in India in the future, and also hired more than 600 servants with the highest education.

As for Victoria Peak, it is not only the most luxurious area, but also the best quality residential area in Hong Kong, no matter from the perspective of scenery, environment, and security, after all, the British are not fools, for more than a hundred years, representatives of the highest level of British capital have lived in Victoria Peak, which naturally has its reason.

"Are you ready to do it with the Hutchison Group?" Chen Tianfu asked suddenly.

"yes, it's almost time." Chen Zhiwen nodded and said. There is no need to hide this kind of thing from your family, after all, once you really do it, the whole of Hong Kong will know about it, which is why Chen Zhiwen asked the whole family to move into the Repulse Bay Mid-Levels villa, if it is still in the previous place, that kind of villa area can be surrounded by all kinds of financial reporters.

"Hutchison's foreign debts are very heavy, even if you can buy them, how to deal with them?" Chen Tianfu frowned and asked, although he knew that Hutchison was not doing well, but because it had nothing to do with him, he only knew about this matter, and later knew that his son had thoughts about Hutchison, so he began to gradually check the news to understand the situation of Hutchison.

His son did one of the four major foreign companies, although I don't know if it can be successful, but Chen Tianfu is still very happy, this is the first time in Hong Kong history that the Chinese have launched a sniper attack on a British-funded consortium, no matter what the result is, it can go down in history.

Hutchison Group is a listed company, and the financial information is easy to find, and after Chen Tianfu learned more about the financial situation of Hutchison Group, he began to worry again, which is really too big.

"The foreign debt is not heavy, how can the Hutchison Group, one of the four major foreign banks, come to this point today, and how can it give me a chance, rest assured, I know the measure." Chen Zhiwen said calmly.

The weight of Hutchison's foreign debts has long made almost all Hong Kong people lose confidence in him, as well as the major debt banks, but because debt collection will only lead to Hutchison's rapid bankruptcy, the major banks do not dare to move, and can only suffer.

In the original history, HSBC took over Hutchison, in fact, it was a last resort, but Chen Zhiwen knew that as long as the current Hutchison survived for another two years, Hong Kong's land price and stock price rebounded, and he could get out of the current predicament.

"Okay, I won't interfere in your business, but I still have to focus on stability." Chen Tianfu thought for a while and said.

"I'm going to the company first, and the matter of Hutchison will be exposed soon, and all kinds of reporters will definitely come back to find a way to interview us, and I have hired the security team, but you still have to pay attention to it, don't be close to those reporters, otherwise, it will annoy people to death." Chen Zhiwen said helplessly.

The journalist group has good intentions, but it is not excluded that some people will do whatever it takes to grab the headlines, not because of illegal and extreme measures, but because they will use various words to stimulate the interviewees, which makes people very annoyed.

This kind of person really appears around Chen Zhiwen, he will definitely clean up one by one, but it's better not to touch it.

"Hello Chen Sheng."

"Chen Sheng, morning."

Along the way, all the staff in the office greeted Chen Zhiwen politely.

In the face of employees who are polite and polite to him, Chen Zhiwen naturally responds politely, but others know him, he doesn't know everyone, and after walking half a circle, he found that among the dozen or so people who greeted him, only 3 of them were a little familiar, but they couldn't be named.

An Qi, the secretary of the board of directors, had already come to the door, and her office was outside Chen Zhiwen's office.

"How many people are there at the headquarters now?" Chen Zhiwen asked after entering the office, and at the same time turned the cool air to the lowest.

"I asked Manager Li once last month, and there are 515 people in total, and now it may be a little more." Angel thought for a moment and replied.

"It's a bit overcrowded. It felt quite crowded outside. Chen Zhiwen nodded and said, the office building of the headquarters is almost 5,000 square meters, and it is not a problem for 500 people to work normally, but the design here is directly used in the decoration of the previous tenants, and there are many single rooms in it, which has caused crowding.

"Several company managers have also discussed this issue, Red Bull and Midea can move to Kowloon, so that the real estate and investment business left on the headquarters side will not be so crowded." Angel said.

"The headquarters should not be separated, it is much more convenient to be together, and I am ready to build or buy our own building." Chen Zhiwen thought for a while and said.

His future idea is to build a super tower in Central as its headquarters, and the location of the Hilton Hotel is good, or choose another location, but this is also a future plan, which may not be realized until the mid-80s, and before that, the development of several major businesses is extremely fast, and the demand for office space is also expanding rapidly, and it is necessary to have a building as soon as possible.

"Okay." Angel agreed.

"In addition, the company has so many people now, it should be very inconvenient to go to work, you find a car rental company, let them be responsible for the company's employees to and from work." Chen Zhiwen thought for a while and said.

In the past, when the company was small, the staff lived relatively scattered, so there was no planning, now there are more and more employees, and the transportation can arrange a unified pick-up, otherwise, in Hong Kong, where there is no subway in traffic congestion, the commuting time of normal employees is as high as two or three hours, which is also the company's loss, at least the employees have enough rest to work better, and this is also the company's welfare.

In the future, whether it is moving to the next location, or building a super building in the center of Central to be the headquarters in a few years, this benefit can be implemented forever, and later large companies or Internet companies in the mainland have this kind of service.

"Okay, that's a lot easier for everyone." Angel said with a smile.

Chen Zhiwen nodded and said, "Let Xu Weishan and Lei Shengli come to my office." ”
