On December 19, 1975, a large Boeing 747 aircraft circled over Hong Kong for nearly an hour before descending at Kai Tak Airport.

Hutchison Whampoa had already arranged for the pick-up personnel, but it was not sent to the company, but to the Chen family's villa in Repulse Bay.

This renovated villa is currently where the Chen family lives, and after entering the gate, there is a small garden, and two gardeners are cleaning up the clutter in the garden, and when they see Chen Zhiwen, they both wave.

"Chen Sheng, shall I take the things?" A butler walked up and said.

"Thank you, John." Chen Zhiwen handed the suitcase in his hand to a 50-year-old British ghost who spoke.

Although to a large extent, Chen Zhiwen looks down on a large number of British ghosts in Hong Kong, but in any case, Hong Kong is still under British rule, and he still needs to contact many British people in the future, so Chen Zhiwen also deliberately looked for a standard British aristocratic butler to guide him on what to do or not to do.

As for learning the aristocratic etiquette of the British? That, of course, is impossible.

On the other hand, some British culture is not completely useless, these aristocratic housekeepers are still very capable in arranging life matters, in Hong Kong, in fact, many Chinese rich people also like to hire such people.

Of course, many Chinese also have a special arrogant heart, let the British work for themselves, and recently in the Hong Kong media, this topic is often discussed, which really makes some Hong Kong Chinese happy for a while, again, if you can't afford to let the ghost guys work for themselves, then you can also satisfy your own psychology by looking for some special streets.

"It's heavy." John took the suitcase, but he didn't expect it to be so heavy, and he almost flashed his waist.

"Take this bag, there are wheels underneath that you can pull." Chen Zhiwen pulled out a bag from the front of the suitcase and said with a smile.

In fact, Chen Zhiwen discovered a small thing a few years ago, that is, the suitcase of this era is different from that of later generations, it does not have a lever, but relies on a rope in front of it to pull. However, because at that time, my main focus was still on the electronics industry and Red Bull and the subsequent layout of real estate and acquisitions, and I forgot about it after a long time.

"I'm sorry, I actually knew, but I didn't expect your suitcase to be so heavy." John said apologetically.

"There are some red wines from friends, so it's a little heavier." Chen Zhiwen said that his subordinates took it all the way, and of course he didn't care about the weight.

"Okay, then I'll put the wine in the underground cellar." John said, then pulling his suitcase and walking to the other side.

"Arwen, you're back." When the mother Wu Xiuling saw her son, she immediately put down a raccoon cat in her hand and said with a smile: "Do you want to eat something?" ”

"No, it's all on the plane, I'll just go get a bottle of mineral water." Chen Zhiwen smiled, walked to the side of the sofa, and asked, "Where is Dad?" Went to the company? ”

"No, it should be upstairs, right?" Wu Xiuling pointed to it and said.

"Okay, I'll go up." Chen Zhiwen nodded and said, without a mobile phone, the family can only know the approximate time when he will come back, so naturally it is impossible to wait at the door all the time, just do what you have to do.

"What do you want to eat at night?" Wu Xiuling then asked.

Chen Zhiwen said: "Burn something lighter, right?" Green vegetables, lettuce, seaweed soup and the like, just cook meat dishes casually. ”

Lao Mei's technology is really good, but the food really makes Chen Zhiwen complain, the vegetables are mainly steamed with olive oil and seasonings, or vegetable salad, the taste is not bad, especially in the big hotel, but eating for a long time makes Chen Zhiwen very unaccustomed.

Walking to the balcony on the third floor, Chen Tianfu was dozing, and the movement behind him seemed to wake him up, turned his head to see that it was his son, and quickly pulled out the chair next to him, and said: "Come, sit for a while, the sun is very comfortable here, and the scenery is not bad." ”

"It's been almost half a year since I've seen this scenery, it's not bad?" Chen Zhiwen smiled and sat down as well.

"The sea view is still never tired of seeing, when will I have the opportunity to go to the deep sea to see." Chen Tianfu said with a smile.

"Yes, my cruise ship can also go to the deep sea, just not too far." Chen Zhiwen said that the cruise ship he bought before, although it is not as large as the super type in later generations, but it is also a sparrow although it is small, and there are still various safety facilities, in the case of avoiding bad weather, it is no problem to go to the deep sea, but because of the voyage, it can't go too far, and it is safest to go around the coastline.

"Forget it, I've been crazy busy lately, and you happened to come back from the United States today, so I rarely gave myself half a day off." Chen Tianfu said.

Chen Zhiwen asked: "Are you so busy?" ”

"Of course, your Hutchison gave me 8 plots of land at one time, plus a few projects I have, and I'm busy running around every day." Chen Tianfu said.

"You should also consider finding a professional manager, why bother so hard?" Chen Zhiwen said.

"Let's wait for this batch of projects to end, but I still have to manage the company if I find a professional manager." Chen Tianfu said: "I'm different from you, you have so many companies, it's naturally impossible to participate in management, I'm just like that, if I don't care, do it every day?" Sunbathe? ”

"Okay, it's good to be a little free." Chen Zhiwen didn't force it, for many people, work has become a habit, suddenly stop but there is really nothing to do, life pursuit may be gone, just like many people in China in later generations continue to work after retirement, making money is one thing, on the other hand, there must be something to do, otherwise, people are easy to scrape, let alone the boss of a company.

"Did you go to Europe and the United States this time?" Chen Tianfu then asked.

"It's not bad, it's basically achieved my goal." Chen Zhiwen nodded, and then said the general situation of acquiring BITZER in Europe and 20% of Nike's shares in the United States, as for Apple's 33.3% stake, I didn't say it, not to hide it from my family, but there is no need to say that I can't say that I can't say that I believe that the market value of this company will be billions of dollars in the next few years.

"That's good, in this way, your 10,000-person industrial park plan can be further implemented." Chen Tianfu said.

Chen Zhiwen asked: "Dad, do you also know about this?" ”

"Of course, many real estate companies in Hong Kong have come to me and want to ask me where your industrial park is going to be built." Chen Tianfu said with a smile.

"This group of people has a real nose, and they deserve to be in real estate." Chen Zhiwen smiled, all this is also in his expectation, an industrial park that can directly provide tens of thousands of jobs will inevitably drive more service industries around, and the number of people gathered can easily reach tens of thousands, plus their family members, the number of radiation may be able to reach the total population of 1 or 2 points in Hong Kong, so many groups, the demand for houses is also amazing, and real estate companies will naturally be interested.

"You actually released this news for a purpose, right?" Chen Tianfu asked.

Chen Zhiwen nodded and said: "Yes, but these purposes are also secondary, I do need to build a large-scale industrial park to meet the needs of Midea, Red Bull and Anta shoes in the future, these needs are very large, relying on the current messy factory layout in Kowloon and Hung Hom, it is far from enough, and it is prone to quality problems." ”

Not to mention the importance of arcades, starting next year, Midea's fans need to go to volume, even if they can only get a small part of the market in the United States, the number of production may be millions, and the same is true for radios, mainly in quantity, and it is easy to sell millions a year, although the sales of refrigerators and air conditioners are not so terrifying, but these are large pieces, and large production lines are needed to maintain the highest efficiency of production, and industrial office buildings will not work at all.

Needless to say, Red Bull and Very Coke naturally have the potential to grow exponentially in the future, as does Anta, which produces sneakers for Nike, knowing that in the original history, Nike's sales increased by an average of 80% per year, and it took ten years to overturn Adidas's first throne.

No matter which factory, there will be a doubling of demand in the next few years, and a large-scale and efficient industrial park is imperative, but fortunately, the current factory can still produce at full capacity, and it is no problem to meet the needs of the past year, so there is a little buffer space, and Chen Zhiwen decided to make this industrial park a bargaining chip.

"In fact, what makes me feel most incredible is that you can really make the factory industry what it is now, or you have made such achievements in the real estate industry, and still insist on opening the factory, I don't know what to say." Chen Tianfu said with a deep groan.

"Low-end industry is far worse than real estate, and high-end is different." Chen Zhiwen smiled and said: "Everything I do is to be high-end, even if it is still low-end, but as long as it goes on like this, sooner or later it will be high-end." ”

Red Bull is already considered high-end, but it is very Coke, and its own characteristics are volume, and with the existence of Coca-Cola, it can only take the low-end route.

And the United States, now mainly in the home appliance market, can't go high-end, but when electronic computers begin to break out, foreign giants are on the same starting line, that's another thing, not to mention computers, it's smart home appliances, Midea will also have a very strong advantage.

"Okay, those things of yours are too mysterious, I don't understand, hahaha." Chen Tianfu continued: "But there is another good news, do you remember that you mentioned before that I was asked to gather funds in Hong Kong at high interest rates? ”

"Of course you remember? How much money have you gathered? Chen Zhiwen suddenly became interested, although his industry is developing smoothly, but it is also too expensive, and the only one that can generate cash on a large scale now is an arcade machine, or the Wal-Mart stock that is still appreciating.

Out of consideration for the future strategic goals, a lot of his funds must be invested to ensure that he can seize the opportunity to rise in the future with the opportunity of the mainland's reopening, and Hong Kong's real estate market is a pity, knowing that it can multiply several times in a few years, but there is not enough money to invest in it.

The price of acquiring Hutchison is naturally that the credit line of the bank in Hong Kong has been seriously reduced, and the idea of playing Wharf in the future will be a little lacking in the matter of direct investment in real estate, and besides, the best way to invest in real estate in Hong Kong is to use other people's money.

"It's almost 150 million Hong Kong dollars, and all of them are for 5 years, and I relied on these funds to start 8 projects with Hutchison at the same time." Chen Tianfu smiled and said.

"It's really good, Hong Kong people seem to be really rich." Chen Zhiwen nodded and said, if you think about the giant fraud Chen Songqing in a few years, you will be relieved, here in Hong Kong, there are too many rich people, and many rich people do not only invest in the stock market and real estate, not everyone believes in the stock market and real estate, many people will diversify their investments, so the fund with high interest temptation can naturally attract many people.

"So I'm going to play a little bigger." Chen Tianfu smiled and said.

"Or do you want to absorb deposits at high interest rates?" Chen Zhiwen asked.

"Yes, you analyzed with me before the logic of the inevitable interest rate hike after foreign inflation, I checked a lot of information, which is very reasonable, and the mainland seems to be more open, just since this period of time, the number of people coming to Hong Kong from the mainland, the number has been increasing, which shows that the mainland's control over this area seems to be less strict than before, I will not talk about the domestic and overseas trade, as long as there are more and more people in Hong Kong, then the real estate market will inevitably explode on a large scale." Chen Tianfu said excitedly.

"That's okay, Dad, you can do it boldly, it's no problem to borrow 1 billion." Chen Zhiwen said with a smile.

In the case of knowing the future real estate market, large-scale fund-raising and then entering the real estate will definitely not lose money, and others dare not play like this, even if it is Li Jiacheng, it is really terrifying to operate like this, Hong Kong's Chinese-funded real estate, although more radical in the real estate market, but most of them are smart people, many are using other people's funds, not themselves.

"Do you really dare to think that I thought that 500 million would be about the same, one is too risky, and the second market may not be able to raise so much money, and if it continues, I am afraid it will offend the bank." Chen Tianfu shook his head and said: "If I can get 500 million yuan in the market, plus the resources of Hutchison, I will be sure that Hengyi will develop into a company at the same level as the five tigers of real estate, and I will not be ashamed of your face when the time comes." ”

"A billion won't be a problem, it will take a little time." Chen Zhiwen smiled and said, in the history of Hong Kong, there is really no one who raised funds on such a large scale, and the spare funds in the Hong Kong market must be huge, of course, the premise is that his Chen Zhiwen's name is loud enough, otherwise, it will not be so easy to raise funds, and the cost of dispelling trust alone is very large.

"If there were a billion, that would be a huge number." Chen Tianfu couldn't help but move his face, his company's largest project is only about 100 million, and it is only the total value, in the process of development, these funds are all liquid, at most tens of millions of levels.

"So it's not so easy to reach the level of the five tigers of real estate. And the most important thing is to have the ability to develop real estate, money is secondary. Chen Zhiwen said that although the real estate five tigers are far from Hutchison and several other major foreign banks, they are growing very fast, especially after seizing the real estate market in the next few years, they have become giants second only to the British-funded foreign companies, and even pressed the global shipping of the ship king Bao Yugang in terms of market value.

"I still have a little bit of ability in this area." Chen Tianfu said confidently.

"There's a shortcut." Chen Zhiwen said: "Hong Kong subway. ”

"You mean, scramble for property development near the subway station?" Chen Tianfu naturally understood what his son meant.

"Yes, the flow of people is the core of real estate, and the subway is the top priority, this point, other developed countries have a precedent to go, I dare to be sure, the future of the subway near the property, will be the most popular in Hong Kong." Chen Zhiwen said with a smile.
