Chapter 300： : Inspect Hong Kong Industry

"Hadi Empire 1945 New ( to find the latest chapter!

Bragging to end the cocktail party, many people came to communicate with Hardy, including people from the Big Four, which owns a large number of industries in Hong Kong, including power companies, water companies, construction, real estate, shipping, airports, retail, banks, hotels, Insurance and so on are deeply ingrained.

In the past two years, Hardy Group has invested heavily in Hong Kong, making them very worried about whether their business will be robbed.

But when it comes to using nasty means to stop it, they don't have the guts yet.

Now there is no other way. The Hardy Group acquired HSBC, which is the most important bank in Hong Kong. The four major foreign banks also have shares in HSBC. They can only seek cooperation now.

And now many people are full of worries about the future of Hong Kong. The president of Jardine Matheson was chatting with Hardy and asked: "Mr. Hardy, the current situation is unstable. At this time, you are investing heavily in Hong Kong. Are you not afraid of major changes? ?"

The major incident he was referring to was naturally the fight from the north, and Hong Kong was taken back.

Hardy smiled faintly, "No one is 100% sure about investing in this kind of thing. I know that Hong Kong is now unstable, and many investors have withdrawn from Hong Kong."

"But this is also a good time to invest, isn't it? I can buy high-quality assets at a lower price. If I win the bet, my income will increase several times. If I lose the bet, then I am willing to accept the bet and leave Hong Kong obediently. ."

Hardy, the owner of a large American group, has invested heavily in Hong Kong. Some people in this person have speculated that it is because the US Congress has intervened in Hong Kong affairs, so he dared to invest here.

Now Hardy told them that he was just betting.

This answer disappointed many people.

Hardy is rich,

Investment failure may not matter, but other businesses may not, they dare not take such a big risk.

Hardy chuckled inwardly.

It is to make you scared so that you can sell assets and I can receive large sums at the lowest price.

And on the other side.

Han Yezhen is surrounded by a group of noble ladies. As the female companion of the guest of honor tonight, Han Yezhen also attracts attention. No matter what her status is, being able to be brought to a reception of this standard by Mr. Hardy means that her identity is recognized. of.

These people deliberately or unintentionally probed Han Yezhen's identity.

Later, I learned that Han Yezhen grew up aloud in the United States. Her parents are both university professors. No one dares to look down on such a family here.

As for her, she is now the head of the Hardy Group auction company and came to Hong Kong to build a museum.

certainly,

Han Yezhen's biggest identity is Hardy's woman.

The women gathered around Han Yezhen, chatting about what is popular now, how to wear clothes, make-up brands and so on.

This is the circle of women.

When Hardy was chatting with others, a middle-aged Chinese stood next to him. When Hardy finished talking with the person opposite, the person immediately said, "I have seen Mr. Hardy."

"Is it Mr. Dong Haoyun?"

"Ah, Mr. Hardy, do you know me?" Dong Haoyun was very surprised.

Hardy smiled, "I have read your information. We are partners. The Global Shipping in your hands is now the largest shipping company in East Asia. I hope you will work hard to develop him."

It is said that the collaborator is actually Hardy to the right side. Hardy holds 70% of the shares of Global Shipping and has absolute controlling rights.

"I will work hard to develop global shipping." Dong Haoyun quickly responded.

"Hadi Shipping now has 6 shipping companies with routes all over the world. In the future, I hope that many will cooperate. I am confident that the future shipping group can develop into the world's largest shipping consortium." Hardy said.

Dong Haoyun was very excited when he heard it.

Halfway through the reception,

Grant Hong asked Hardy to smoke a cigar. The two came to the courtyard and chatted while looking at the night view. "Mr. Hardy, the government welcomes you to invest in Hong Kong. If you are interested in any industry in Hong Kong, you can contact me if you need help. Say."

Hardy smiled.

"Mr. Governor, do I really need your help?"

"Oh, what's the matter?"

"Buying land, the group wants to build, and it needs to buy more land. I know that the government still has a large amount of land in hand and I hope to buy some for construction." Hardy said.

"I remember Victor has bought a lot of land, isn't it enough?" Grantham asked in surprise.

"To be honest, I am very optimistic about the geographical location of Hong Kong and want to build more factories here so that the products produced can cover half of Asia. According to my plan, that little land is not enough. You know Mr. Governor, sometimes A large enterprise needs thousands of mu of land."

Hardy flicked.

In fact, Hong Kong’s location is not suitable for industry at all. Without any resources, the cost of industry will increase substantially.

The reason why Hong Kong will become an industrial production area for a while is entirely due to domestic factors. Once the country embarks on reform and opening up and the favorable factors disappear, it will quickly shrink.

Hardy's purpose is to hoard the land.

People's enthusiasm for hoarding land is not so high, mainly because the real estate industry in Hong Kong has not yet developed. The real estate boom in Hong Kong will be in the 1960s and 1970s, so Ge ​​Lianghong did not think that Hardy wanted land for hoarding. .

Although a lot of land in Hong Kong is privately owned, most of it is still in the hands of the government. Hardy hopes to acquire more land in the hands of Grantham.

"I can promise you this. Go back and ask the head of the land administration department to contact Victor. You can see if there are any suitable plots." Grant Hong said.

He will naturally support the development of Hong Kong's investment.

"There is one more thing. I want to build a new racecourse and hope to join hands with the Hong Kong Jockey Club." Hardy said.

"Do you want to run horse racing betting?" Grant Hong frowned slightly.

Today there is only one racecourse in Happy Valley in Hong Kong, and there are many horse races held every year. The current horse races are very different from later generations. The current jockey clubs are mainly Europeans. They have a membership system. It was not absorbed until the 1920s. Two Chinese.

As for horse racing betting, it is not as developed as later generations. There are only a few Malaysian tickets, occasionally let people play, and it is mainly concentrated in the upper circle. It has not yet reached the age when the people are crazy to buy horses.

In Hong Kong movies, there are many scenes of horse betting. It can be said that horse betting has penetrated into Hong Kong's life. It will not become like that until the Sha Tin Racecourse was completed in the late 1970s and the number of races increased, allowing ordinary people to start playing horse racing.

Granthong knew that Hardy was not only a rich man, but also a gambling tycoon. He ran the largest casino in the United States.

Is this to extend the gambling industry to Hong Kong?

Regarding the gambling industry, the British government and Hong Kong are both more cautious. They know the dangers of gambling and make many people get something for nothing. They don't want that to happen.

"I don't plan to let the racecourse get involved in the gaming industry for the time being. I just want to open a racecourse and have fun with friends. Even if the racecourse is completed, it will follow the Hong Kong Island government's regulations." Hardy smiled.

Grantham breathed a sigh of relief.

"It's okay. On behalf of the Hong Kong Island government, I can agree to Mr. Hardy's racecourse to join the Jockey Club Club." Grantham said.

Hardy expressed his thanks.

Now it doesn't matter if you disagree, the world is changing. After the racecourse is completed, you can slowly promote the horse racing industry.

As for the real gambling industry, Hardy is going to go back to Macau, and that is where he focuses on developing the gambling industry.

The straight-line distance between Macau and Hong Kong is only 62 kilometers, and it can be reached within an hour by ferry. Now Macau is not the four major casinos and there is no super-large casino. If Hardy had invested in the construction of a casino comparable to the Hardy Hotel in the past, It can be called the benchmark of Macau.

At the end of the welcome reception, Hardy and Han Yezhen returned to the villa.

night.

Han Yezhen is very active.

It is probably the reason why Hardy took her to the reception.

Even opened his small mouth.

The next day.

Accompanied by Victor, Hardy checked the situation in the Jiulongtang Industrial Zone. Now the Jiulongtang Industrial Zone has water circuits and dozens of factories have settled in, and even more than a dozen factories have opened production.

The factories here are all jointly opened by Hardy Group and others, and the factory land used is also owned by Hardy Group.

Therefore, these factories have to pay a rent to Hardy Hong Kong Real Estate Company every year, but overall it is not expensive.

Hardy did this mainly to keep the land in his hands.

Rubber shoe factory.

The boss Chen Xiangsheng accompanied Hardy on the inspection. Victor followed. Chen Xiangsheng was cautious and respectful. Although he is the boss here, he only has 30% of the shares. He is the big boss and he is a part-time worker.

Hardy picked up a pair of rubber shoes and looked at it.

There is not much difference with the rubber shoes of later generations. Hardy knew that it was not until the 1950s that large-scale production of these rubber shoes began in China. Later, the army had worn them for 50 years.

This kind of shoe is strong and cheap.

Not only for military use, the people also like it very much.

In addition to this kind of rubber shoes, this factory also produces thicker rubber shoe soles, which are hard rubber soles for leather military boots. This hard rubber sole can be made into cloth cotton boots or leather boots, suitable for winter wear.

However, this factory does not make whole shoes. It only sells hard rubber soles. If you need them, you can buy soles and go back to make your own cotton boots.

In this factory, the machines are obsolete machines sold by the logistics department. They are all packaged and operated as a joint stock with others. A year can produce 1.2 million pairs of rubber shoes and 1 million sets of rubber soles.

"Is it easy to sell?" Hardy asked.

"It sells well, it sells well. Many people here in Hong Kong want it, and the mainland also wants it. The supply exceeds demand. We are working overtime." Chen Xiangsheng quickly replied.

"Where are these hard rubber soles?"

"It's all booked out too."

"Is the raw materials enough?" Hardy asked.

"Enough, we have suppressed the raw materials for half a year." Chen Xiangsheng said.

Hardy put down the rubber shoes and said, "I'll give you a suggestion. At least two years of raw materials. If the money is not enough, you can find a bank loan. I can ask Wells Fargo to give you the lowest interest."

Chen Xiangsheng was a little surprised.

"The raw materials that have been under pressure for two years, do you think the price of raw materials will increase in the future, boss?" Chen Xiangsheng asked.

"The main raw material you use is rubber. Now there are more and more cars, and more and more places to use rubber. In the past two years, because of the end of World War II, there was a surplus in production for a while, and the price of rubber will come down. Sooner or later, Go back up." Hardy said.

There is another reason Hardy didn't say, that is to buy more now, wait 50 years, rubber will become a pipe product, it is troublesome to buy.

Hardy came to the toy factory again.

The equipment used to produce toys here is the equipment from the toy factory that Hardy bought when he established HD security, and later it was given to the Barbie doll factory. Now the Barbie doll factory has also replaced new equipment. These were eliminated and sent here.

It's really not wasteful at all.

In this factory, the Hardy Group still accounts for the majority.

certainly,

The abrasive tools were changed. Instead of producing ugly dolls and dolls, they mainly produced plastic cars. Hardy took a look at the shapes. There were more than a dozen models, all of which imitated the more famous models in the world to make a cartoon version.

"How's it selling?" Hardy asked.

"We sent them to the United States. The sellers there like these cars very much, and we have a price advantage, so the sales are very good." The person in charge said.

"How much can such a car make?"

"Excluding all expenses such as artificial water and electricity, one can earn about HK$30."

"How much is the output?"

"There are ten million."

Hardy quickly calculated an account in his mind, ten million multiplied by 0.3 is 3 million Hong Kong dollars, which is almost 370,000 in U.S. dollars.

This money is divided into two families This money is nothing to Hardy, but for these investors, it is definitely a good business. Can earn millions of Hong Kong dollars, this year the first million Hong Kong dollars in Hong Kong, that is also a proper little rich man.

After that, Hardy moved a few more.

Victor told Hardy that there are already a light bulb factory, a wire factory, a nail factory, a wire factory, a screw factory, a cigarette factory, a button factory, a zipper factory, a hose factory, a garment and shirt factory, a plastic flower factory and so on.

The factories that produce radios and faucet valves are already relatively high-tech enterprises.

Hardy smiled and said: "It doesn't matter, step by step, it will always develop, first buy the land."

Hardy loves the land deeply.
