Chapter 225【Communication Cocktail Party】
The Corrity super-yacht moved slowly and began to sail away from Victoria Harbour. Of course, it would not be too far because the guards of the Governor's House were not allowed.
The super yacht is always followed by some small boats, these are the guards of the Governor's Mansion and Wu Guangyao's guards.
There are so many people crowded on the Corrity super yacht. For a better experience, no matter who it is, the guards can only follow them in a small boat, except for Ge Lianghong and Wu Guangyao who left one or two guards on the super yacht.
greeted in a circle, Wu Guangyao did not drink less wine, but did not eat a bite of the food;
There are buffet foods everywhere on the yacht, including seafood, Chinese food, and snacks. Tableware is also placed next to it, so guests can move around at will.
Back to the main hall, Wu Guangyao and everyone just had a few words, Li Cui timidly handed over a piece of food, and Wu Guangyao quickly took it.
"Well, it's been hard work. Go and chat with Yueru and the others, just to practice your crappy English!"
The intimacy revealed between words is well known to many men, and Western ladies not far away seem to have realized it.
It seems that this young man is not as dedicated as he thought!
"Mr. Governor, Yaoshi Industry under my subsidiary wants to open another large-scale smelter. I wonder if the Hong Kong government can provide some support?" Wu Guangyao changed his style and began to find relationships for his business.
Shuqiwan smelter can not meet the increasing demand of PG zipper, not to mention that Wu Guangyao still wants to enter the aluminum alloy door and window industry, and even plans to export aluminum alloy materials abroad.
But the smelter has a very large area of land, and the water consumption is also large (there is a water shortage, the water is picked up manually from the mountain);
Take the output of the Shauqiwan smelter, which can produce 200,000 tons of aluminum alloy and several tons of copper per year, which can reach two-fifths of the PG zipper;
Don’t forget that there is also a YKK zipper, you can also choose to buy aluminum alloy from Hong Kong Island.
So, it is imperative to open a factory again.
"What is the scale?" Ge Lianghong did not immediately agree, because he knew that if he could take the initiative to seek help from himself, the investment might be large, and the land would naturally be large.
"About 300 acres, with a total investment of 20 million Hong Kong dollars. After the completion, it will not only meet the needs of the zipper factory, but the excess output can also be used for export." Wu Guangyao said, but he was calculating such a large land in his heart, and the future value would not be much. Ten billion.
Pang Dingyuan, the "king of steel" in his previous life, bought land in Tseung Kwan O in 1958 to build a factory. In the late 1980s, 150 acres of factory land was sold to Swire Properties and Hung Kai Properties for more than 13 billion yuan.
own 300 acres, the future value shall not be 30 billion Hong Kong dollars, this is a fixed asset.
"what?"
People around them opened their mouths, feeling incredible.
There has never been a heavy industry factory of this size on Hong Kong Island.
Ge Lianghong is a bit embarrassed. The area of Hong Kong Island is too small, and there is so much land for people to build factories.
Furthermore, this kind of factory is not in the interests of the Hong Kong government, and it is far from cost-effective to sell to real estate developers.
"But Hong Kong Island does not have such a large land for you to build a factory, your scale is too big!" Ge Lianghong said.
When Wu Guangyao heard this, he naturally knew what these colonial officials were thinking, but that the Hong Kong government did not have much interest.
"Your Excellency, the New Territories is currently in the undeveloped stage. The Tseung Kwan O land on Tiu Keng Leng is currently undeveloped. I am willing to build the factory there. Your Excellency, if this factory is completed, it will be enough to solve 5000 jobs. , The society will be more stable and prosperous.” Wu Guangyao continued.
In this era, besides considering building a factory on Hong Kong Island, can I build a factory there?
Therefore, this factory Wu Guangyao is bound to win!
"Then let's go back and discuss it and give you an answer!" The governor said helplessly at last.
300 acres is not a small figure. If sold to real estate developers, the harvest will be far greater than industrial land;
Fortunately, this young man likes to find unexplored places, which also saves a lot of trouble.
If other factors are not considered, wherever the young man’s factory goes, he can prosper.
Shuqiwan and Tsuen Wan are all stationed with Wu Guangyao's factories, showing a prosperous scene.
Take Tsuen Wan, which was a wasteland before 1950, as an example. After PG Zipper moved in, the family behind the 5,000 workers was about 20,000, and these people worked and lived in Tsuen Wan stably.
It can be imagined how powerful the factory's contribution to society is!
Next, Wu Guangyao chatted with HSBC Taipan, Sundashi and others.
"Is there a financial risk in my factories?" Wu Guangyao asked Sanders that HSBC has the right to supervise the finances of Wu Guangyao's companies, because many of them are borrowing huge sums of money.
Sundashi shook his head and said with a smile: "If you asked this sentence a year ago, I would definitely tell you that Lao Fengxiang Jewelry is in a very dangerous state, but now I have gotten rid of it, and it seems that the debt will be paid off soon. , Booming!"
The danger mentioned by Sundas is naturally the risk that diamonds cannot open the Asian market. However, after a year and a half of hard work, the diamond business has begun to make a lot of profit, which has exceeded the profitability of gold.
Of course, gold is still the foundation of Lao Fengxiang's jewelry. No matter how good the diamond business is, it can't shake the status of gold.
Wu Guangyao chatted with a group of HSBC executives, and they were quite familiar, which made many people envious.
Even foreigners can't help but envy the relationship between Wu Guangyao and HSBC!
Someone once questioned the HSBC taipan, saying: "Is HSBC Bank British-owned, and why does it support a Chinese with all its strength!"
The HSBC bank chief explained: “Of course, HSBC is British-owned, and HSBC does not fully support Wu Guangyao. Every loan he makes is secured. It seems to outsiders that the risk is very high, but HSBC can guarantee the recovery of the loan. . And HSBC is a company. Of course, what it cares most about is the return. It is precisely this Chinese who can bring huge returns to HSBC, so HSBC has given him a lot of loans."
Facts have proved that HSBC’s choice is right. At present, HSBC not only relies on Wu Guangyao to reap a lot of interest, but also a lot of business.
Especially the installment payment of Cheung Kong Holdings, which has brought many people to HSBC Bank, and believes that they will make deposits with HSBC Bank in the future.
"Superintendent Richard, I heard that you are going to be transferred back to London for promotion?" Wu Guangyao walked to the crowd in the police system and greeted Richard.
At this time, the four Chief Chinese detectives have not yet turned their heads, and they are all foreigners who control the police system.
The first person to be Zonghua inspector should be Lu Le, who took the post in the late 1950s.
However, Wu Guangyao does not intend to have any intimate relationships with these people; it is best to live in peace, and Wu Guangyao is not made of clay.
The people in the four halls have been regularly training on the deserted islands, so there should be no problem with assassinating individuals;
Wu Guangyao believes that his four halls are more lethal than gang organizations and are sufficient to protect his own safety.
Of course, this thing is a Dinghai Shenzhen, once exposed, it will be a notorious organization all over the world.
Fortunately, they usually just watch the scene.
"Well, when Mr. Wu arrived in London, please don't forget my friend, remember to have two glasses together!" Richard said coolly. He has been in friendship with Wu Guangyao for five or six years, and the two have always been happily working together.
"Of course, I often go to London, when Richard is promoted, I can't help but recognize my old friend!"
Although he is a very good friend, Wu Guangyao has never forgotten Richard's benefits, but they are basically given to their husband and wife as gifts of gold jewelry.
In this way, the advantage is that the two can comfort themselves. This is not a money transaction.
Of course, Wu Guangyao did regard Richard as a good friend. He helped himself to the platform in the early stage of his business, although he was paid.
This "Hundred Days Banquet" has become Wu Guangyao’s social cocktail party. The visitors are basically the upper class on Hong Kong Island, whether they are foreigners or Chinese, everything depends on strength.
Of course, because the Chinese are not very powerful now, it is difficult to break into the upper class of Hong Kong Island.
