Chapter 447, Opening, Acquisition, and Evening

December 12, 1970, November 14 of the lunar calendar.

This day is a good day to travel, meet relatives and friends, get married, get engaged, start a business, and trade.

In other words, it's a good day to open.

And this day happens to be the day when Huimin Supermarket opens.

On the eve of the opening, all the staff who had come from Hong Kong Island had arrived at their respective jobs.

Based on the knowledge they have previously trained on Hong Kong Island, they will use this knowledge to jointly run Huimin Supermarket.

He followed Bald Eagle for many years, but he didn't instill any chicken soup with these employees.

There is no such thing as impromptu speeches, and it has already been said when it was on Hong Kong Island.

Compared with a passionate speech, it is better to pay a salary to be practical.

For example, even the lowest-paid ordinary warehouse managers are paid $230 a month.

This salary level is basically the same as the salary of the warehouse keeper on the Bald Eagle side, after all, in the Huimin Supermarket, there are not only Hong Kong Island citizens, but also Bald Eagle locals.

But this money, after being converted into Hong Kong dollars, became 1,334 yuan.

If it is this salary, even if it is placed in the white-collar class on Hong Kong Island, it is also in the middle and high-level positions.

As for the salary of warehouse keepers on Hong Kong Island itself, it is actually only a little more than 300 Hong Kong dollars, which is not as good as a fraction of that of Huimin Supermarket.

Moreover, in addition, the employees who come to work at Bald Eagle are all provided with food and lodging.

The reason for this is naturally to attract more Hong Kong Island citizens to come here to pan for gold.

Generally speaking, food and housing are the main expenses of migrant workers.

Besides, there is no food here on the bald eagle, except that the big guys are not used to it, and more food here is also very expensive.

Therefore, including food and accommodation is the most attractive point when recruiting.

For many years, he appeared in the Huimin supermarket, looking at the supermarket with a leisurely view, and Huo Jiandong, Bao Yugang and others next to him also inspected together.

"Over the years, will the price of these goods be too low?"

As soon as I walked into Huimin Supermarket, I was greeted by those fruits and paper towels, all of which were promotional prices and very cheap.

For example, bananas, even on Hong Kong Island, are eight cents a pound, which is not cheap.

However, the oranges and bananas on sale in front of me are actually two cents for the package price!

For the bald eagle, isn't it going to be earned?

It's not the merchants who make the money, but the consumers who make the money.

Two cents of dollars, for a bald eagle citizen with an average salary of four or five hundred dollars, can this be called money?

It's not money at all!

Hearing Bao Yugang's exclamation, as well as the surprised expressions of Huo Jiandong and others, I didn't feel strange about their reaction for many years.

Because that's what he expected.

"Brother Gang, Brother Dong, even you are surprised by such a cheap price, I think our Huimin Supermarket has already achieved half of the success."

"But aren't you afraid of losing money?"

Huo Jiandong asked rhetorically, his expression was not worried, but more curious.

Huang Ka-shing opened his mouth, but did not speak.

He is not responsible for the part of the supply of fruits, but he can still easily estimate the price and cost of the goods.

"How can you lose money?"

Many years smiled, "The business philosophy of small profits and quick turnover has been formulated by us from the beginning, so ah, please rest assured." ”

It is said that businessmen pursue profits, which can be seen from this.

The price of two cents in US dollars, converted into Hong Kong dollars, is one dime and six cents.

Even if the price of bananas purchased on Hong Kong Island is three cents or even lower, but with the shipping costs of crossing the ocean, as well as the preservation potions used during transportation, etc., these costs are less than five cents of Hong Kong dollars.

As a result, the cost of a pound of bananas has reached eight cents, while the gross profit is only three cents and six cents.

This part of the gross profit has not even calculated the cost of Huimin Supermarket.

After all, the cost of employee salaries, water and electricity in Huimin Supermarket is very huge.

Well, the land of Huimin Supermarket itself was directly bought, so there is no cost to this.

After all, it is the fourth largest country in the world, and the land price is certainly not expensive.

Why?

Because Huimin Supermarket is not entirely built in the city center, on the contrary, it is built on vacant land near many residential areas.

This is because the bald eagles prefer to live in houses like villas and less often in the city.

Secondly, they are a country that sits in cars, and if the parking lot of the supermarket is not big enough, it will definitely not attract customers.

After all, citizens come to shop by car, and there is no place to park, so how can they come to the supermarket to buy?

Therefore, the profit earned by Huimin Supermarket from selling a pound of bananas will definitely not exceed two cents Hong Kong dollars.

Isn't this a lonely?

Isn't it earned a loneliness, many years of laughing and not speaking.

It seems that the profit made is very, very small.

But in fact, this is the original intention of Huimin Supermarket, and it is also one of the keys to its ability to beat other competitors.

If the price isn't cheap enough, why is it attractive?

Although the bald eagles are not short of money, they should earn their money from the death.

But, no one is stupid.

In contrast, bald eagles have more poor people, and their unemployment rate is actually not low.

Moreover, the money of the poor is the best earning.

After all, the price of Huimin supermarket, if it has always been so low, then for ordinary citizens, this is a good enterprise.

They will definitely consider Huimin Supermarket as their home.

As long as Huimin Supermarket has a huge flow of people and attracts customers to the supermarket, if they are not allowed to spend tens or hundreds of dollars for many years, then what kind of supermarket will they open?

Two cents a pound of bananas, ten pounds and eight pounds, it's normal, right?

Two or three cents a roll of paper towels, a big pack, no problem, right?

Five cents for a big roast chicken, one or two, it's very reasonable, right?

These seemingly very cheap products, far below the prices of their peers, make it absolutely appealing to the general public.

When they checked out, they found that their shopping carts were full of goods, but they had spent dozens or hundreds of dollars.

Although it will hurt in the flesh, I will even comfort myself in my heart and come back to this supermarket next month to consume.

But, is it possible?

Paper towels will run out in about a month, bananas will be eaten in three or four days, and roast chicken will be eaten in a day.

So, after all these things are used up, won't consumers go to the supermarket again?

The second time I went to the supermarket, I needed to buy the goods, and there would definitely not be so many.

However, will the low-price area of Huimin Supermarket always be bananas and paper towels?

Occasionally, putting some unsalable, or even near-expiration products, into the low-price area will definitely attract a large number of people to rush to buy.

That's what Walmart did, and then it became the top spot in the global retail industry.

And has been sitting firmly in this position for many years.

After many years of inspection of Huimin Supermarket, the group waited for the opening.

The time soon came to the opening day.

According to the tradition of the southerners, it should be celebrated by beating gongs and drums, lion dances, and setting off firecrackers.

However, this is the bald eagle, and these traditions are forgotten.

Put a few opening flower baskets and arrange them a little more gorgeously, and you can do it.

Of course, the propaganda method is very simple, hard publicity: distribute leaflets, loudspeaker cars, posters, etc.

Horn car publicity is not a new thing, and the business atmosphere on Bald Eagle's side is very strong, and it has long been played out.

Therefore, before it opened, nearby residents already knew that there was a Huimin supermarket that opened on December 12th.

Many people come here, and some people just want to see if it's really that cheap?

Of course, there are also colleagues who send people over to spy on the military.

For example, Wal-Mart supermarket, in 1970, it already had nine supermarkets.

Moreover, Wal-Mart itself is a cheap store, and it has a very direct competition with Huimin Supermarket.

After all, the business strategies of the two retail industries are almost the same, if not identical.

In addition, Huimin Supermarket is menacing, and it is completely aimed at Walmart Supermarket.

Therefore, on the opening day, Walton, the founder of Wal-Mart supermarket, personally went to Huimin supermarket.

As soon as he entered the supermarket parking lot, he was shocked.

"God, the parking lot in this supermarket is too big, isn't it?"

Walton's expression was solemn, and his heart became more and more worried.

After parking the car and entering the supermarket, it was directly in the low-price area, and he was not good.

Bananas for two cents?

Even if the price is low, this yard of bananas looks too good, right?

Is this really selling bananas? Instead of wholesale bananas?

And these paper towels, which are brands that have never been seen before, what kind of Hai Rou paper towels, what brand is this?

Pick it up and take a look, among the many small English fonts, Walton found it, the origin is actually Hong Kong Island?

What is Hong Kong Island?

God, is this the devil?

A lot of people don't notice this, which is why Walton takes a closer look.

Because if the price is so low, it's definitely weird!

"Hey, Procter & Gamble and Kimberly-Clark are getting hurt, maybe I can contact both of them?"

Walton's expression flickered, but he quickly let go of these things first, and he better get through the difficulties in front of him first.

In the 1970's, there were two giants in the entire tissue market, one was Kimberly-Clark, and the other was Procter & Gamble.

Before the sixties, Kimberly-Clark was the absolute hegemon of the tissue market, with a market share of more than 55 percent.

In addition to Kimberly-Clark, there are other tissue brands.

But in the sixties, Kimberly-Clark faced a strong rival in the tissue market, Procter & Gamble.

The company entered the tissue industry by acquiring a paper mill, and soon launched its own brand of paper towels, and as soon as it came up, it vigorously promoted it, and went straight to the price war.

Because of the minimal differentiation between brands of tissues, Procter & Gamble's strategy successfully encroached on Kimberly-Clark's market.

Through the scuffle throughout the sixties, Kimberly-Clark's market share plummeted to 40 percent.

Procter & Gamble's market share has reached 25 percent.

As a businessman who runs a cheap supermarket, Walton is no stranger to paper towels.

Because it is very common in the shopping cart of consumers.

It's just that whether it's Kimberly-Clark, Procter & Gamble, or paper towels from other brand companies, the price has never been so low.

Therefore, Walton was so shocked when he saw the price of paper towels just now.

Then he continued to go to the supermarket, but his heart became more and more shocked, and even in the back, his hands and feet became cold.

It's so cheap!

Whether it is daily necessities, fresh seafood, dry goods, cooked food, fruits, dairy products, etc., the prices are extremely low.

How to compare?

There's no way to compete!

All the prices of the goods in Walmart supermarkets are more expensive than those in Huimin supermarkets.

As the saying goes, there is no harm without contrast.

Price strategy is a normal means of business competition.

If the Huimin supermarket dares to come to the bald eagle market, it will definitely not eat dry rice.

What's more, Renmin Supermarket opened 20 large-scale supermarkets at once, covering an area of more than 10,000 square meters.

With the addition of a parking lot, the area is even larger.

Not to mention, the fried noodles, fried chicken wings, toasted bread and so on sold in the deli area alone occupy more than 500 square meters, which is very large.

And there is also a lot of foot traffic.

When Walton went to visit Huimin Supermarket, it was still past three o'clock in the afternoon.

It stands to reason that this point in time is not the peak period of supermarket business.

Even considering that Huimin Supermarket is the first day of opening, the flow of people will be large, but I didn't expect it to be so large.

There were three or four hundred people in the cooked food area.

In a small location of more than 500 square meters, can there be 300 square meters of free space left in addition to the space of the department store?

So this flow of people, can it not be terrifying?

Walton, who was squeezed out of the deli area, was stunned.

He didn't know how he left Huimin Supermarket, and he didn't remember driving back to the company.

Walton was not alone, there were many competitors.

Because of the emergence of Huimin Supermarket, it has greatly challenged the entire Pulsatilla retail industry.

The price of all commodities is too low.

There is a low-price dumping strategy of dimensionality reduction, which is really unbearable.

According to incomplete statistics, within two or three days of the opening of Huimin Supermarket, the turnover of other supermarkets in New York, large and small, fell by 30 or 40 percent.

After the successful opening of Huimin Supermarket, many years after their group left Bald Eagle happily.

Just one supermarket had a turnover of more than $100,000 on the first day.

Twenty supermarkets, that's more than two million, and that's just one day's turnover.

You know, Wal-Mart's nine supermarkets have an annual turnover of only $30 million.

This gap, I have to say, is very large!

Many years after they returned to Hong Kong Island, they gave instructions to the suppliers and factories to go all out to expand production.

For a time, many factories in Hong Kong recruited workers, and those young people who mixed with society all went to work in factories when they saw such high wages.

Many people who have just been smuggled to Hong Kong Island from the mainland, treasure island, garden city and other places have also entered the factory one after another under the introduction of relatives and friends.

From September to now, in just a few months, factories have sprung up in the entire New Territories, Kowloon, Tsuen Wan and other places.

The population has also skyrocketed, and in a short period of time, Hong Kong Island has added hundreds of thousands of people.

Even, in December, tens of thousands of Cantonese people took the ferry from the icy river to the New Territories, Kowloon and other places, and tens of thousands of people were there every day.

Villa 72 Deep Water Bay.

For many years, I sat in the main seat of the restaurant, listening to Xiao Budian happily talk about the competition, and the corners of his mouth were always smiling.

On the surface, it is very light and breezy, but in the heart it is very happy for the little guy.

According to Little Buddy, he has already won first place in the British Mathematics Competition.

In March next year, he will travel to Hungary again to compete in the International Mathematics Olympiad.

At that time, he will represent Hong Kong Island in the competition.

I used to compete in London, which was just a small tournament organized by Great Britain to gather the best seeds from various colonies to compete in London.

After all, hundreds of years ago, London was also the world's center of mathematics.

When Xiao Budian finished speaking, he praised him for many years, and then looked at Brother Jing and them.

"What about you? It's almost the final exam, how are you preparing? ”

The Spring Festival of the 71st year will be earlier, and the 26th of January in the new calendar is Chinese New Year's Eve.

So the final exam will be a little earlier.

"Dad, don't worry, I'm sure I'll get good grades."

Hot Wheels said loudly, full of confidence, but ushered in the eyes of his three sisters.

Whether he is diligent or not, Xiaodoubao is very clear about them.

Besides, how complicated can the exams in elementary school be?

Back then, they all got full marks for the little bean bags.

Well, the white tofu is still a little worse, but her grades are not bad.

What's more, there are seven children in the family, excluding Xu Yi, who is just over a year old, at present, white tofu is the most outstanding child in the family.

Even Xiao Budian, a mathematical genius, is still a little bit behind.

There's no way, Bai Tofu is a best-selling author, or a double platinum certified singer, and the buff is stacked.

She released the album of childhood in June this year, which quickly became popular in Hong Kong, and then quickly broke out of Hong Kong Island and exploded in Southeast Asia and East Asia.

Who asked her to bring her own traffic?

Although in the follow-up, she lost a lot of money because she did not participate in commercial performances at all.

But commercial radio, television, etc., are playing her songs, and record stores are still selling them.

In November, millions of records were sold.

Although it is the data of the entire Southeast Asia and East Asia combined, it is also very impressive.

After all, in this era, everyone doesn't have much money in their pockets.

And a record costs 16 dollars and 5 dollars, which is 95 dollars and 7 cents when converted into Hong Kong dollars.

In an era when the per capita salary was only more than 400 Hong Kong dollars, it was necessary to spend a quarter of the monthly salary to buy a record, that is, those crazy young people would do such a thing.

"Well, it's good to have faith, but you can't be arrogant, don't you hear?"

"Got it, Dad."

Many years of affirmation have made the Hot Wheels kid even happier.

Qin Huairu next to him suddenly remembered something, and said:

"By the way, the child's father, it's New Year's Day in a few days, should we move to Baijiadao to watch the fireworks show?"

"Yes, no problem."

The New Year's Eve fireworks show is a show made by David, the governor.

Guy made a lot of money at the Hong Kong Island Mansion this year, and there was so much money that he didn't know how to spend it, so he thought of this way of celebrating.

In the past year, the development of all walks of life on Hong Kong Island has been very fast, especially the convenience of public transportation, which has driven the flow of people.

In November last year, MTR Line 1 was put into operation.

Other No. 2 and No. 3 lines are also being put into operation one after another.

The four lines of 4567, which are still under planning, will also be put into operation in the next few years.

Places like Deep Water Bay are also about to open to traffic, so you can imagine how fast the MTR plans to build it.

With the convenient MTR, it is much more convenient for citizens to travel.

But it's still a little inconvenient.

For example, it will be very convenient for many people to go to Central.

However, when I went to the land created by the Rolls-Royce Group to see the flowers, I encountered difficulties.

Many people have to get off the bus at HKU and walk to the Rolls-Royce R&D centre, and then take a minibus to the seaside site.

After the land reclamation from the sea, Rolls-Royce did not immediately invest in the construction of the building.

Instead, while laying the foundation, the greening of the ground is brought up.

The entire enclosed area of 10 square kilometers of land, more than 4 square kilometers of the area is green belts, roads and other public areas.

There are also several small parks on it, and there are many flowers and plants planted in the parks.

In May and June this year, the lavender blooms, forming a sea of flowers, which can be seen very clearly on Zhou Gong Island and Lamma Island.

Therefore, there were many people who went to see lavender at that time.

Some time ago, there were a lot of flowers blooming over there, and they were very beautiful.

The scene of a hundred flowers competing for beauty should have been a scene only in spring.

But this is Hong Kong Island, and even in December, the temperature is only seven or eight degrees.

And the temperature of seven or eight degrees will not last very long.

What's more, these flowers were all transported from Tuen Mun Farm.

It is neatly stacked in this land reclamation area from the sea purely to attract citizens to come and buy flowers.

If it is profitable, it will take great pains to do it, otherwise why bother?

A lot of them come here for nothing, just to see.

But it doesn't matter, it's good to bring popularity.

Besides, with such a large flow of people, can't you rent it out?

A lot of small vendors are happy to come here with small carts to sell their goods, delicacies, and so on.

If there is a food street, or a bar street or something, won't this land be half the battle?

If you want to build a high-rise building, then the underground foundation must continue to be excavated.

Land reclamation is to fill in the 80-metre depth from sea level to the bottom of the sea, but it is certainly necessary to continue digging into the seabed.

Otherwise, if the foundation of the building is not solid, it will be doomed.

In this way, the cost of this building is naturally not cheap, and the construction time is very long.

In addition to this project, Rolls-Royce Group has also increased its business a lot in the past year.

Not to mention, the main aero engine business alone directly won the order of 58 engines, and the revenue exceeded 530 million pounds at once.

If it is converted to Hong Kong dollars, it is 8.48 billion yuan.

Just the main business is close to 10 billion revenue.

There are also Rolls-Royce and Bentley's two major automotive business modules, investment business, R&D center business, etc., with revenue exceeding 10 billion Hong Kong dollars.

The R&D center is not without revenue, and its revenue figures are also very impressive.

For example, many years ago, the comfortable treasure diapers that were handed over to Baiyun City for production have hundreds of patents.

Most of the patents are sold directly to Shubao factories to hold, and a small number are leased.

In the past year, Shubao's revenue has already exceeded 2 billion Hong Kong dollars, and the tax paid to the Hong Kong Island government alone has exceeded 80 million Hong Kong dollars.

This tax does not seem to be much, but it is all because the Shubao factory has only been established for one year, and there are preferential tax policies.

Coupled with the legal tax avoidance that everyone knows well, therefore, paying a tax of 80 million Hong Kong dollars is actually quite a lot.

In addition to leading companies such as Rolls-Royce, Hong Kong Island has also developed rapidly in several pillar industries such as manufacturing, real estate and shipping.

The most unexpected is the tourism industry on Hong Kong Island, which is also very expensive.

Therefore, the purpose of holding a fireworks show on Chinese New Year's Eve this year is self-evident.

"Okay, no problem, the view over there is better, and it's indeed a good place to watch the fireworks show."

Many years smiled and nodded in agreement.

Then he said:

"By the way, when the time comes, talk to the fourth brother and sister-in-law, and Xiaomei Xiaoqian, too, watch the fireworks together."

Since Xiaomei and Xiaoqian bought villas No. 55 and No. 36 in Deep Water Bay, they have moved over.

Although they still come to Seventy-Two to play a lot, they have lived there for a long time.

Especially Xu Xiaoman, after she received her salary in June this year, she couldn't wait to move out.

But it was held down for many years, and she was asked to wait a little longer.

Now that the price of the house has soared a lot, it is not the best choice for her to start at this time.

And she is only one person, can she live in such a big house?

Just the villa No. 36 that her sister bought, only the two sisters lived in it, and it was like a haunted house.

If it weren't for the two aunts who cleaned and cooked, it would have been even worse.

The other day, many years later, I went out and met Legolas in the office.

"How is the acquisition of shares of the Wharf Group going?"

Since chatting with Bao Yugang last year, he has remembered the Wharf Group, so he has a whim to buy this high-quality property.

At that time, I was thinking about secretly buying stocks, and after getting a certain number of shares, I would find a way to contact those large retail investors or small shareholders.

"Boss, we've acquired 23 percent of the shares from the secondary market."

Legolas reported respectfully, his eyes adoring.

Many years gave him enough trust and power to do it boldly.

As a result, after some investigation, I found that this acquisition journey would be simpler.

Although the Wharf Group has a large business and a market capitalization of about 17.8 billion Hong Kong dollars, the stocks are too scattered, and more than 60% of the shares circulating in the market are unbelievable.

As a result, they bought 23 percent of the shares, but there was no movement in the market.

Of course, Wharf's share price has risen.

The main reason is also very simple, from the beginning of the acquisition last year to the end of December now, the time span is almost twenty months.

For such a long time, the stock price has skyrocketed, which is also a normal sign.

Overly dispersed stocks actually have a lot to do with the major shareholder Jardine Matheson Group.

After Jardine Matheson Group took control of Wharf, it has been trying to encroach on other industries due to ambition and other issues.

For example, Hongkong Land Group, Jardine Matheson has spent a lot of money to invest in this group.

As a result, they will slowly reduce their holdings of Wharf Group shares in exchange for cash to acquire more shares of Hongkong Land Group.

"Hmm, so how many Hongkong Land shares did we acquire?"

Many years nodded slightly, and Legolas reported truthfully.

Hongkong Land's outstanding shares are relatively small, because not only are they buying, but Jardine Matheson is also buying, and there are even many people who are secretly buying.

It is not known who is buying shares in Hongkong Land.

The whole Hong Kong island is so big, in addition to the four major foreign banks such as Jardine Matheson, Wheelock, Hutchison Whampoa, and Swire, there are also HSBC, AIA, Leybold Group and so on.

and Chinese-funded enterprises such as Changjiang Company, Lixin Real Estate, and Global Shipping Group, which are still inconspicuous.

As one of the most famous real estate giants on Hong Kong Island, it is unknown how many people covet it behind Hongkong Land.

"Okay, continue to buy, come quietly, don't alarm the other party."

After the other party finished reporting, he told him for many years.

Legolas suggested:

"Boss, in fact, at this time, we can contact those small shareholders, as long as we speed up a little, we can take the Wharf Group into our pockets"

"In the past year or so, we have figured out that Jardine Matheson currently has only 28 percent of the shares, but it has always controlled Wharf."

In his words, it's time for the Jardine Matheson group to step down.

Typically, occupying the pit and not, it's really annoying.

"How sure are you?" Many years asked with a smile.

"Boss, we're 90 percent sure, and the reason is simple."

According to the investigation, Jardine Matheson, as the majority shareholder of Wharf Group, controls the management of the latter.

The Wharf Group is a high-quality enterprise, relying on the container terminal to have hundreds of millions of revenue every year, and it is a proper large family.

Shareholders who hold shares of the Wharf Group are expecting dividends, but the results are not satisfactory.

Because Jardine Matheson Group directly withheld Wharf's cash flow, it was said to be investment to the outside world.

But in fact, it was secretly buying shares in Hongkong Land.

This kind of operation, it's simple!

As a British capital that started as a hawker, Jardine Matheson Group has not had too many operations in history.

Otherwise, there would not be such a group with many industries today.

Mandarin Oriental Hotel Group, a five-star hotel on Hong Kong Island, is one of the subsidiaries of Jardine Matheson.

There are also subsidiaries such as Jardine Pacific, Jardine Automobile, and Gammon Construction, and the invested businesses also include Wellcome supermarkets, shipping, real estate, insurance, etc., with more than 200,000 employees.

Such a behemoth, if there is no means, will definitely not develop to the point where it is today.

However, because of the operation of the Jardine Group, it has been targeted for many years.

The Wharf Group has been eating this piece of fat for many years.

"In that case, then you should contact those small shareholders, but it must be kept secret, and you must not let the Jardine Matheson Group know."

"Notify me as soon as the shares acquired exceed 50 percent."

When Legolas heard this, his spirits were lifted, and he could finally eat meat.

After Legolas left, he met other people for many years, all related to investment.

When it was all done, he went home.

Now it's not going back to Deep Water Bay, but to 43 Pak Ka Road.

To be honest, for many years, he is still not used to driving a car on a mountain road, well, he has not hired a bodyguard or a driver to drive a car, he drives it himself.

The main reason is that I am not used to it, and the second is that the current social environment on Hong Kong Island is much better.

The streets are full of uniformed policemen, and they feel safe.

A few years ago, there were about 20,000 police officers on Hong Kong Island, and their combat effectiveness was also very average.

But what about now?

There are more than 30,000 police officers, and the ideological education work of the police force is very strict.

Once any violations of laws and regulations are found, they will definitely be severely punished.

Anyway, Hong Kong Island has a large population, and the police treatment has improved a lot, so I am not afraid of not being able to recruit people at all.

The general salary level of white-collar workers on Hong Kong Island is in the range of 400 Hong Kong dollars to 600 Hong Kong dollars, and the white-collar workers who can get a salary of 1,000 or more only account for a few tenths of a percent.

However, the salary of the police is not low, it has reached 800 yuan, and this is still the basic salary of ordinary police officers.

The policy of high salaries and honest pensions began with many plans in the past six or six years.

In addition to the police, the salaries of the government departments have also increased a lot.

Therefore, a harmonious society is slowly changing in this way.

David, the governor, has even been touted by the media as a very powerful economic politician.

In addition to these, the harmonious environment of Hong Kong Island is also related to the gradual development of many industries such as manufacturing, tourism, and catering.

Many people who come to Hong Kong Island from other places can easily find jobs on Hong Kong Island.

As long as you work hard, settling on Hong Kong Island is not a big problem.

On Hong Kong Island today, the immigration bureau is the mascot, or it is responsible for printing documents.

Why did those who came to Hong Kong Island secretly get their identity cards so quickly?

It is not the Governor's silent policy that foreign workers are welcome to work and visit Hong Kong.

As a result, most of the people who come to Hong Kong Island are either purely for tourism or looking for work.

As for finding a job, as long as you are not unlucky, it is not difficult to find a high-paying job.

From Tsuen Wan to Tsim Sha Tsui, from Tsim Sha Tsui to Central, there are not too many factories.

Coupled with the existence of the MTR, it is extremely convenient for many people to go out.

So no one makes trouble, and the community has no nutrients for survival.

Either dying or hurrying to find a way to move to other industries.

Based on this, it has been too lazy to hire a driver for many years.

After the car entered Baijia Road, it was much quieter.

Rolls-Royce docked in front of Villa 43 and before he got out of the car, he heard laughter from inside the villa for many years.

That's how it is when there are a lot of people, and it is very lively everywhere.

Xiaomei, Xiaoqian, Xiaoman, and they have all arrived, and Xiaodoubao and they are also on vacation, can it not be lively at this time?

The holidays for primary and secondary school students on Hong Kong Island are still mainly Chinese.

The end of December is a traditional holiday in the West, Christmas and New Year, so there are several days of holiday in a row.

In other words, their annual leave is from December 24 to New Year's Day.

More than 200,000 white people live on Hong Kong Island, but there are not many white children.

Because most of the white people are wealthy, they are almost all middle and high-level managers of large enterprises such as the Big Four, or government employees.

These people's salaries are not low, so they will not let their children stay on Hong Kong Island to study, but send them back to Great Britain or directly to Maple Leaf Country, Bald Eagle and other places to receive education.

Therefore, the holidays of primary and secondary school students are naturally dominated by Chinese.

Of course, Christmas and Chinese New Year's Eve must also be a holiday, and then the weekend will make up for it.

As the day of Chinese New Year's Eve approaches, many tourists come from the outside world, and the big guys are coming for the fireworks party.

A month ago, in early December, many newspapers on Hong Kong Island reported that David was going to set off fireworks on Chinese New Year's Eve.

And it is to set off fireworks throughout Victoria Harbour, and directly spend 5 million Hong Kong dollars to purchase fireworks.

The fireworks factory also discounted it, saying that it was not profitable to make this order.

The newspaper advertised it for several days, and of course it attracted a lot of attention from the outside world.

Therefore, the flights and planes coming to Hong Kong in the past few days are almost full.

Even Victoria Harbour has several cruise ships docked.

"Wow, today's dinner is so hearty."

With the arrival of Chinese New Year's Eve, on this night, No. 43 Baijia Road, the home is the same as the New Year.

Li Jinlian and the five of them came over here to prepare several tables of sumptuous dinners, attracting all the children playing upstairs.

Xiao Chubby Dun's words made everyone laugh.

"It's not that I haven't eaten it, and it's worth all the fuss?"

Qin Huairu said with a smile, Xu Yi, this child, is more direct, stretching out his little hand, he is about to steal it.

She's only a little over a year old, and she can speak, so she can do it, so why should she speak?

This kid doesn't talk much, but he is very persistent about eating.

For many years, Qin Huairu was worried that she would eat too much and gain weight, so they would control her diet and not let her overeat.

Zhang Mingde sat in a corner of the living room, accompanied by Xiaodoubao and Xiaotuanzi.

The two children are obsessed with medical books and can't help themselves.

The main reason is that they have heavy learning tasks, especially after entering junior high school, there are more subjects.

Coupled with Xiao Budian's mathematical genius, the pressure on the two of them to be sisters is great.

Therefore, there is only time, so they can learn more medical skills from their grandfathers.

For the time being, they can't catch up with Bai Tofu, but they don't want to be surpassed by Xiao Budian.

"It's time to eat!"

Seeing that the table was already full of food, many years shouted loudly, and then came over to invite his master to serve it.

Outside, Victoria Harbour is full of tourists on both sides of the strait, and everyone is looking forward to it.
