"The price of industrial land is too expensive, and Hong Kong's largest electronics company, Midea's latest industrial park, intends to go to Wanwan Hsinchu Industrial Park, and Hong Kong's industry has lost a major pillar!"

The front page of the Hong Kong Economic Journal once again lit up with major news about the United States, and many readers have become accustomed to it, and it seems that many news about Hutchison, Midea, and Red Bull are first published by the Hong Kong Economic Journal.

And those who know a little about Hong Kong shopping malls know that in fact, Hong Kong Economic Journal has long been invested by unknown capital, but because Hong Kong Economic Journal is not a listed company, how many outsiders have been invested in it is unknown, as for this unknown capital, everyone naturally knows that it must be Chen Zhiwen's capital.

The front page of this issue of the Hong Kong Economic Journal only has a title, and below it is a photo of Lei Shengli, the general manager of Midea, and the deputy director of the Wanwan Xinqiao City Investment Promotion Bureau meeting and shaking hands.

On the second page, there is a text version of the content introduction.

The first section introduces the recent development of the United States in foreign countries, and roughly introduces the explosion of the arcade industry in the United States, which is the second time in Hong Kong's history that it has swept the American market trend but has no competitors.

At the same time, Midea's home appliances have also begun to take root in the United States, fan products have entered the major supermarkets in the United States, the number of orders in hand has been million, and the refrigerator and air conditioning business has also developed well, so the existing scattered factory model has not been able to keep up with the requirements, and it is urgent to build a complete industrial park, similar to overseas large-scale factories.

The second section introduces the planning of the Midea Industrial Park, which also includes the factories of Red Bull and Future Cola, and the existing production lines located in the industrial office buildings in Hung Hom and Kowloon will also be gradually moved into the industrial park to ensure the best production efficiency.

The third section is to introduce the United States, Red Bull's recruitment treatment, in the Hong Kong industrial market, the United States of Red Bull said that the second absolute no one dares to say the first, the first is a 20% increase in salary compared with the average level, if the monthly salary of other nearby factories of the same type is 200 Hong Kong dollars, Red Bull Midea can give about 240, and there is a year-end bonus according to performance.

There is also insurance, the government's mandatory social security will not be less, and there is professional commercial security, covering the employee's immediate family, that is, the employee's spouse, children, parents, if someone is seriously ill or accidentally injured, you can get the corresponding compensation or medical reimbursement, this benefit, even Hong Kong's large real estate companies and banks do not have.

In addition, Midea Red Bull will also provide staff dormitories, mainly for 6 people, with an area of about 200 square feet, each person has an independent bookcase, equipped with a self-produced refrigerator and air conditioner, and a separate bathroom.

If employees want to buy a house, Midea Red Bull will also provide certain low-interest loans, but there are certain restrictions in this regard, which are related to the employee's level and length of service, which is also to prevent outsiders from taking advantage of the loopholes in this clause.

In addition, it is the most basic food, all the working meals are free, two meat and two vegetarian meals, you can eat as much as you want, as well as yogurt and fruits, etc., which are much better than what many people eat at home, and every holiday, the company will also send some hard currency, such as salted meat, salted chicken, etc.

It can be said that as long as you enter the United States and Red Bull, according to the current welfare, you basically have no worries about life, the company is responsible for eating, drinking, and Lasa is all responsible for it, and there is no additional consumption.

It can be seen from the turnover rate of Midea Red Bull that it is basically less than 1% a year, that is, those who go in will basically not leave again.

If Midea Red Bull really chooses to leave Hong Kong, it means that not only will Hong Kong lose a large number of high-quality jobs in the future, but also thousands of existing employees will lose their jobs on a large scale.

Not to mention, Midea is a terminal company, and there are a large number of suppliers behind it, although the benefits of these suppliers are far less than those of Midea's internal, but they are also a little better than other companies of the same type, because this is also the requirement of Midea companies, although many suppliers may just cope with it, but as long as they do a little, it is better than not doing it.

The industrial chain exceeds 10,000 people, which is just the existing scale, and with the development of Midea, maybe the scale will become 30,000 or 50,000? With so many high-income workers, the consumption they can drive will also benefit other Hong Kong people.

……

[So, should we really let such a high-quality local company leave Hong Kong?] 】

In the second half of the article, it also introduces the occasional situation of various employees, such as an employee who was suddenly diagnosed with cancer, not only received medical subsidies according to insurance, but also paid monthly wages according to the basic salary of the contract, and many employees successfully bought a 500-square-foot house in Hung Hom, Kowloon and other places with the low interest provided by the company, and the whole family no longer has to rent a house everywhere to see the landlord's face, etc.

"Damn, the treatment of Midea and Red Bull is so good?" A construction worker eating steamed buns said in surprise as he picked up a newspaper from the side of the road that seemed to have been accidentally dropped by others.

"What kind of treatment, I'll see?" A person next to him took the newspaper, glanced at it casually, and said, "Cut, this salary is not as high as ours?" ”

"It's not as high as ours, so don't you look at the working hours and work intensity? You have to work 14 hours a day without heavy rain, 8 hours for others, overtime pay is calculated separately, and there are so many benefits, you look at the dormitory, it is better than our 30 yuan rented house. And there is air conditioning in the dormitory, and there is also air conditioning in the factory, except for the occasional blow when you work for others in your life, have you used it at other times in your life? ”

"Don't think so well of the capitalists, these air conditioners and refrigerators are all produced by themselves, maybe they are using inferior products for their employees."

"You've been building a house for so many years, have the capitalists given you an inferior house?"

“.”

With the report of Hong Kong Economic Journal, the next day, other mainstream newspapers in Hong Kong began to pay attention to the matter, and many newspapers even used the same front page to report, and then all kinds of third-rate newspapers did the same, along with TVB and Li's TV stations, they also simply reported the matter during the news time.

Soon, public opinion in Hong Kong, under the control of one hand, changed direction, and a large number of ordinary people also knew for the first time that the treatment of the original Red Bull of the United States was so good, but it is normal to think about it, such a good company, the personnel basically do not leave, even if the number of recruits is high, it will soon be replenished, and the internal employees will definitely find a way to let their relatives join in, and there is no need to advertise in the newspaper at all, and people who are not near the company's factory naturally do not know.

But I only knew the news, the factory may leave Hong Kong, which suddenly had a great disappointment, if you can stay in Hong Kong, according to the data in the newspaper, the future of the United States Red Bull will definitely recruit people on a large scale, so that there will always be a chance.

For ordinary workers in Hong Kong, it is already very good to have a general job where they can eat, live in general, and live in general, not to mention, this is a good job!

Kowloon, Cheung Kong Headquarters.

"Today's newspaper is all about Chen Zhiwen's 10,000-person industrial park?" Li Jiacheng finished picking out a few newspapers and said with a smile.

Reading newspapers every day is basically the habit of all bosses, and it goes without saying that the official nature is needless to say, and many times there will be a lot of news hidden in the private news newspapers, for example, when the newspaper reports many times that the living environment of a certain place is poor, then it is very likely that the government is preparing to renovate the place.

Or some of the things the government said when interviewed, the reporter may not know the deep implication, but as long as they are written according to the actual content, it can be of great help to people like Li Jiacheng.

In the real estate market, the comparison is judgment, and judgment is not random, it is based on a collection of various information.

"These news reports are obviously being pushed by someone behind them, and Chen Zhiwen's purpose should be to get the Hong Kong government to give preferential treatment to the land price of its industrial park." Opposite Li Jiacheng, a British ghost said.

His name is Frank Murphy, and he has recently joined Cheung Kong Asset, specializing in Cheung Kong's overseas business and communication with the relevant departments of the Hong Kong government.

"Do you think the Hong Kong government will regress?" Li Jiacheng asked, for the communication with the British, he thinks that he is not as good as the British, who know more about management, but it doesn't matter, he is the boss, as long as the right people are recruited, with the increasing scale of Cheung Kong Industrial, Li Jiacheng also began to recruit a lot of ghosts to serve himself.

"It depends on how to define the word regression, if Chen Zhiwen wants the same free strategy as Wanwan, it is difficult, it can be said that it is unlikely, but if you just want a certain discount, plus the current Governor MacLehose attaches more importance to industry, appropriate concessions should not be a problem, this kind of high-quality industry, even if you go to the United States or the United Kingdom, you can get certain preferential policies." Merris replied.

"But then again, this Midea and Red Bull are really good for the welfare of employees, much better than my Yangtze River Plastics Factory." Li Jiacheng continued.

Cheung Kong Industrial, now the main business is real estate, the reason why the name of the company hangs the word industry, is because more than 20 years ago when the business was done is plastic and plastic products, the plastic flower business is a monopoly on many European and American countries, and then because of the discovery that there is no suitable factory to rent everywhere, Li Jiacheng found that real estate seems to be more profitable, coupled with the improvement of modern greenhouse flower planting technology in Europe and the United States, the plastic flower market disappeared, and finally Changjiang Industrial became a real estate company.

However, in order to take care of the first group of employees who once struggled, the Yangtze River Plastics Factory has been open and has been losing money, but this money is a drop in the bucket for Li Jiacheng, who is doing real estate, and the only purpose is to take care of those peers who have struggled for themselves.

"Red Bull's profits are very high, Midea's arcade profits should not be low, Hong Kong's labor costs themselves are very low, and if you add another 50%, it will not have much impact on high-profit industries, so it naturally doesn't matter." "And from Chen Zhiwen's point of view, stability and quality are the first important, and the loss of employees will definitely affect quality, so it is definitely more cost-effective to ensure the stability of employees with an appropriately high salary." ”

"That's right, you're right." Li Jiacheng nodded and said: "What I am more concerned about now is, where will his industrial park be built?" Kowloon? Hung Hom? Yuen Long? Sha tin? Tuen Mun? Once his project is implemented, tens of thousands of well-paid workers will definitely be able to immediately increase the price of land in the vicinity. ”

The essence of real estate is people, where people go, where real estate can rise, especially young people with energy, Midea's industrial park plan is perfectly in line with this strategy, with a large number of employees with stable income, most of them are young people, not married, you can imagine the huge demand for housing in a few years!

"If you can know in advance and then buy land first, you can really make a lot of money." Mai Ruisi said: "This kind of thing is likely to be Chen Zhiwen's final decision, and it is difficult to know in advance." ”

"Yes, then we can only wait and see." Li Jiacheng nodded and said.

December 23:

"Chen Sheng, this is an invitation from the Governor's Palace, Governor MacLehose invites you to go to the Governor's Palace tomorrow to taste tea, the Governor's Palace recently purchased a batch of very good quality tea from South America." An Qi took Zhou Jiayang into Chen Zhiwen's office and said with a smile.

"Tea? That's a good reason. Chen Zhiwen smiled, took the invitation, glanced at it and put it aside, and asked, "I'm alone?" ”

"I don't know, the letter was sent by courier, and at about the same time, the Hong Kong Governor's Office also called, but the caller didn't know if anyone else had been invited." Angel replied.

"Okay." Chen Zhiwen nodded, he likes to drink tea, is Chen Zhiwen has been a hobby since he crossed over, as a later generation of mainlanders, he knows the importance of drinking tea for modern people, because of the improvement of the economic level, resulting in a large number of people eating too much meat and even offal and other high-cholesterol foods, and the input of vegetables is much less, which is easy to cause problems such as three highs.

After arriving in Hong Kong, although there is no high-tech, there is more wealth, and there are more temptations of food, so drinking tea has become his daily routine, and drinking and drinking, he has the feeling of liking tea, and he feels uncomfortable if he does not drink it for a long time.

As for coffee, I basically only drink a little bit when I meet with people.

After An Qi left, Zhou Jiayang said, "It seems that our trick has worked. ”

"This can only be said to be the last resort, most of the print media in Hong Kong are reporting on this matter, normal people can see that we are behind it, and people like MacLehose will definitely know." Chen Zhiwen shook his head and said.

"If the Hong Kong government doesn't pay attention to industry, we don't pay attention to industry, so we go overseas as soon as possible to choose an investment address, if the Hong Kong government attaches importance to industry, then go to the negotiating table as soon as possible, and it is good to determine it as soon as possible, with the current situation, you and Governor MacLehose will meet in person, maybe it can be decided quickly." Zhou Jiayang said.

"That's right, this matter can't be delayed any longer." Chen Zhiwen nodded and said, Hong Kong's industry is still ten years away from the decline, this period of time is still of great value to the United States, the important thing is that tens of thousands of industrial workers and thousands of engineers have been trained in Hong Kong, which can be sent to the mainland after the reform, and quickly build their own industries in the mainland, and if they move to other places, just the language, it will be very troublesome, and with such a large group, Hong Kong's industry may be able to decline for many more years, even if the final result is the same, it can be a little later.

"Chen Sheng, if you have a good conversation with Governor MacLehose, can you also mention the matter of the land in Hung Hom?" Zhou Jiayang said again.

"No problem, but it's not really important anymore, and even if I mention it, it will be a little more discounted at most." Chen Zhiwen smiled and said.

From beginning to end, the land in Hung Hom is ready to be converted into business at market price, because the housing prices that will skyrocket several times in the next few years are the source of the biggest profits, it is true that Li Jiacheng waited until 1984 to negotiate with the Hong Kong government like Li Jiacheng in the original history, and he could also get a low price, but it still needs to wait for almost ten years, and in this ten years, with the help of some special opportunities, it is not difficult to turn 100 million funds into one billion or more.

The reason why Hutchison did not immediately reach an agreement with the Hong Kong government a few months ago was also because Hutchison was too heavily indebted at the beginning, and recently through the sale of overseas projects, the downsizing of Hong Kong's internal business, and the cooperation with Chinese investors such as Li Ka Shing, Hutchison's capital chain has begun to be sufficient to start the project of this super walled village.

"It's good to have a little discount, in the real estate industry, a little bit of preferential land price, a little more generous in the capital chain, and the follow-up bank lending will be much better." Zhou Jiayang said.

"Yes." Chen Zhiwen nodded, the real estate industry, the consumption of their own funds is actually not much, some real estate developers buy land money is borrowed, the money for building buildings is also borrowed, and if you can't borrow it, you can take the future house to arrive, so many project mortgage houses in the mainland in later generations come from this, the key is that the real estate company will also collect pre-sale funds, and then use it to buy other land.

As long as the leverage is played more, it can burst the bank, this sentence is definitely not empty talk, under this model, when the economy is good, it will naturally make a lot of money, and when the economy is bad, it will be a super financial thunderstorm, such as a big one in the future

"If everything is negotiated, then our plan for next year can be implemented smoothly." Zhou Jiayang said with a smile.

1975 was the most difficult year relatively speaking, because the acquisition of Hutchison and privatization cost a lot of money, even now, the whole group can only say that there is no big problem with the capital chain, but it is not too rich, but the difficulties will always pass, and in 1976, the seeds planted before can germinate, although it is not the time to harvest, but the capital market, from the perspective of the development trend, as long as the development trend is good, the credit line will be high, and there will be no shortage of funds.

"Cheng is definitely successful, it depends on how much concession there is, wait for news tomorrow." Chen Zhiwen said.

"Okay, Mr. Chen." Zhou Jiayang agreed.
