182 Happy opening in 1976
A Volkswagen left the gate of the Governor's Mansion without attracting the slightest attention, and many of these cars come and go from here every day.
"Chen Sheng, in this way, both things have been done?" After listening to the general description of the boss, Zhou Jiayang said happily.
"The matter of the Hung Hom port has been determined, and the Hong Kong government has retreated by 10%, which is actually the reason why our next large-scale investment can drive Hong Kong's economy and employment on a large scale. Chen Zhiwen nodded and said.
"That's fine, the two places I chose to be located in Kowloon have a lot of aborigines or small factories, and if we want to buy them all, we will probably have to work hard." Zhou Jiayang said.
"In that part of the Kowloon Peninsula, there is basically no complete and undeveloped land, and those real estate developers are not blind." Chen Zhiwen smiled and said.
Where is the Midea Industrial Park built, in fact, there are two options, one is to build in the rear of the Kowloon Peninsula, but the land price is certainly not cheap, this kind of place itself is also the location of the development of commercial communities, let you say that it is impossible to sell it to you for free or cheaply, and you also need to deal with the aborigines on this land, which is more annoying, but the advantage is that the real estate income will be higher after the industrial transfer in the next ten years.
Or choose a suitable place not far from Kowloon to build a factory, the benefits are naturally cheap, it is also very convenient, it is easy to start work, as for the staff problem, in fact, it is not difficult to solve, the dormitory is built on the line, the United States Red Bull has long been its own internal staff to eat, drink and Lasa all-inclusive policy.
In fact, the latter is more suitable for the two schemes, because compared with the future income of real estate, the current factory construction involves the future foundation of multiple industries, which is the most important.
As for the Hong Kong government's Yuen Long New Town, in fact, Chen Zhiwen also considered that it was a choice between his two plans, but he couldn't put it forward himself, and after the Hong Kong government put it forward, he could also take the opportunity to ask for a little benefit.
"Over there in Hung Hom, I need to bid for a construction company immediately." Zhou Jiayang said with a smile.
The development of the Hung Hom port site was a strategy that was set a few months ago, and as such, Hutchison commissioned two design firms to design the residences long ago.
This is not looking for Pei Jinming, he is a top architectural design master, not a Hong Kong snail house design master, in this regard, Master Pei may not be as good as a local expert?
The plot ratio is calculated based on the average data of nearby residences, and if the plot ratio of the Hong Kong government is low, Hutchison will naturally try to talk about it again, and if it can't be discussed, a few buildings can also be removed.
In short, it is better to spend a little more money, but also to be prepared first, anyway, the cost of designing this kind of ordinary community is much worse than letting Master Pei design an office building.
As for the bidding construction company, no matter how urgent the time is, it will not start to spread everywhere before the industrial transfer is completed.
"Let's let out the rumors first, and when the procedures for transferring to business are completed, we will immediately formally bid for the bid, but there is one condition, all construction workers need to pay the most basic living expenses every month, and they can't be like other real estate projects, where the real estate company drags the construction company, and the construction company drags the contractor, and the contractor drags the workers, which I promised Governor MacLehose." Chen Zhiwen said.
Zhou Jiayang said: "I understand, I heard that several construction workers jumped off the building recently, just because they have not been able to get their wages, and some have even been delayed for two years without paying, causing some human tragedies." Governor MacLehose probably made this request with this in mind. β
"The most important thing is the economy, and if the economy is not good, there will be a bunch of problems in society." Chen Zhiwen shook his head lightly and said.
There will be no absolute fairness in any society, no matter how perfect the law is, it can't be done, but when the economy grows rapidly, everyone can profit, the difference is that the strong get more, but the weak can also get some benefits, so that the society is stable, which is also the fundamental reason why so many countries attach importance to the economy, there is no economy and there is no everything, with the economy the people can live and work in peace and contentment, and the government can have taxes to develop infrastructure and military, forming the foundation of a country.
Although it is a bit clichΓ©, real estate is indeed the fastest way to drive the economy, because it can not only bring a lot of jobs, but also create countless "virtual wealth", which is also part of consumer confidence, with consumer confidence, everyone will go out to consume and buy things, which will drive more employment and form a virtuous circle.
Zhou Jiayang nodded and said: "Chen Sheng is right, Hong Kong law does have a certain degree of protection for low-level construction workers, but in the past two years, so many real estate companies went bankrupt, and more construction companies went bankrupt. β
"It's still a matter for the government, we just need to take care of our men." Chen Zhiwen said: "Christmas + New Year's Day is coming soon, and there should be no big deal on Hutchison's side, rest and rest during this time, next year, we will struggle for another year, and we can make Hutchison really turn over." β
"Okay, thank you Chen Sheng." Zhou Jiayang said with a smile that after all kinds of efforts in the past six months, Hutchison can be said to have stabilized the major creditor banks in terms of debt, but there are still a lot of debts owed.
But the difficulties were slowly resolved in 1975, and the next year will be the time when all kinds of rewards will be in hand.
January 1, 1976, Repulse Bay, Chen Family Villa:
"Come, come, come. Eat the balls" Wu Xiuling held a plate of meat balls and put the balls into the hot pot with a smile.
Today's New Year's Day, the Chen family gave all the housekeepers and other servants a holiday, of course, not to save money, but there is no need to let these people not be at home during the festival, but to run out to work, in addition, they also gave them a lot of red envelopes, as a holiday red envelope.
The whole family prepares food together alone, it is also a kind of fun, today at noon, the Chen family decided to eat hot pot, in the morning, several people wrapped meat balls together, and then bought a few kinds of vegetables, Jiwei shrimp, meat slices and so on.
After a while, a pot of hot pot was steaming hot, and the smoke was billowing out, but fortunately it was not at home, but in the sun room on the top floor.
It was raining modestly outside, but there was no chill in the sunroom, and the whole villa had a constant temperature system that controlled all the rooms, including the sunroom and garage.
"Dad, how is the mainland thing you talked about last time?" The family got together, and suddenly Chen Zhiwen thought of this again.
"I've been contacted, but because I don't have any basic information, a name, plus I can only ask a professional to draw a photo based on memory, and let their people find it in the school in Yanjing City first." Chen Tianfu said.
"Are you looking for a needle in a haystack?" Wu Xiuling said.
Chen Tianfu shrugged and said: "That's no way, anyway, if I give out 20,000 Hong Kong dollars, the other party will treat me as a big customer, and I also told them, the sooner I find it, the more money I give him, I will give 300,000 yuan if I find it in half a year, 200,000 yuan after half a year, and so on, if I can't find it, there is no way." β
"There's no need to worry, maybe one day the country will allow us ordinary people to enter, and when the time comes, we will go to the mainland and find some really capable people, maybe it will be more convenient." Chen Zhiwen said.
In another three years, the country will be officially changed, and his identity will be enough for Xinhua News Agency to help with this matter, which is the right way, but the future is always difficult to say now, and I can't break my father's hope now.
"Yes, I also feel that there is this trend, and I really want to go back to my hometown to see it." Chen Tianfu smiled and said.
"Soon, don't worry." Chen Zhiwen said with a smile: "Any country needs an economy, and the same is true at home, and the dollar will always be a hard currency." β
"Then we'll have to work hard." Chen Tianfu smiled and said: "In 1976, I set a small goal first, and I Hengyi wanted to make a net profit of 100 million. β
On January 6, Chen Zhiwen, who received a call from the Governor's Office, once again secretly came to the Hong Kong Governor's Mansion and held a one-hour closed-door negotiation with MacLehose on the final agreement.
On 7 January, Hutchison officially announced that it had reached an agreement with the Hong Kong government to "convert 2 million square feet of industrial land in the former Hung Hom Port" for HK$430 million, with a plot ratio of 5.5, and will be developed in the near future.
So far, the whole Hong Kong has been in an uproar.
