【Chapter 392 is blocked, and the main content is moved to this chapter without affecting reading. 】
In mid-September, Wu Guangyao led a large business team to Sing Tao to investigate investment.
This huge business team includes both Wu Guangyao’s company and other companies in the business community on Hong Kong Island;
Wu Guangyao’s companies include Cheung Kong Holdings, Baiyou Group, Xingyao Hotel Management, Lenovo Group, Oriental Media, and Universal Group;
Other companies have many bosses in shipping, garments, textiles, plastics and other industries. These people are all invited by Wu Guangyao. In addition, the Chinese have established a country overseas. I also want to come to Singapore and see if they can become one. base.
A business delegation of this scale is enough for the President of the United States to personally receive;
It is conceivable how much Wu Guangyao attaches great importance to Sing Tao, which has just been abandoned by Malays.
Singdao has great development potential, and it is worthy of Wu Guangyao's investment in advance;
While Wu Guangyao has a good official relationship with Sing Tao, this is a relatively good investment environment.
For everyone’s safety, the business team took two flights and arrived at Paya Lebar Airport in Sing Tao;
This is a dual-use airfield. It was a military airfield for the British Air Force recently.
On the day of arrival, Sing Tao officials arranged a dinner.
At the banquet, everyone did not talk about specific investment, most of them were understanding the situation of both parties.
The real investment plan is expected to take three days to discuss and sign the preliminary contract.
That night, Wu Guangyao had a little insomnia. The hotel did not have air conditioning, only electric fans. In addition, Singapore is a tropical country in Southeast Asia, and the temperature is much higher than that of Hong Kong Island.
"It is easy to change from frugality to luxury, but it is difficult to change from luxury to frugality!"
Wu Guangyao couldn't help but sighed. A few years ago, Wu Guangyao came to Xingdao for a business trip. His living environment was worse than today's. At that time, he didn't feel that way, and he woke up naturally when he slept.
But when I came to Xingdao this time, I felt a little uncomfortable!
It seems that it is a good choice to bring Cheung Kong Industrial and Xingyao Hotel Management Company to investigate;
How comfortable it is to have my own hotel in the future.
The project investigated by Changjiang Industrial is naturally not a commercial residence;
In Singapore, real estate developers have to lose money to develop commercial housing!
The Prime Minister of Singapore believes in the Confucianism that “no one has perseverance, there is no perseverance”. He believes that only Singapore’s families have their own houses and the people will resolutely defend their interests in the face of foreign enemies.
Therefore, the Singapore government has implemented the "Home Ownership Scheme" since 1963, and the government has launched HDB flats below the market price for the public to purchase.
So, that real estate dare to develop housing, it is not that there are no underpants to lose!
The project investigated by Changjiang Industrial is naturally a commercial complex project;
The Yangtze River commercial complex project developed this time does not include the hotel project;
The hotel project is independently developed by Xingyao Hotel Management Company;
But the two projects will choose to stay close together to form an alliance.
After washing, walking out of the room, the hotel staff soon guided everyone to the restaurant for breakfast.
And the hotel has a large number of official Singapore staff. They didn't even dared to sleep last night when they wanted to come, because this business team is so important to Singapore.
Not only the economic impact, but also the political impact, which Singapore urgently needs.
"Brother Dong, Chairman Lin, father-in-law. How did you sleep yesterday?" Wu Guangyao greeted when he came to the lobby.
"Haha, it seems that Guangyao didn't sleep well yesterday. Tsk tsk, it seems that you have a little lack of hard-working spirit in the past few years." Only Dong Yunhao can talk to Wu Guangyao.
There is no way, when he was engaged in shipping, Dong Yunhao was equivalent to Wu Guangyao's half master, so Wu Guangyao still respected him over the years.
"That's not the case, but I suddenly felt that I was in the tropical rain forest and I was a little uncomfortable." Wu Guangyao quibbled.
The group of people sat down and ate breakfast. It could be seen that the hotel was very attentive, serving both Western and Chinese food.
Breakfast and dinner, everyone, under the leadership of the Singapore official staff, took a bus to the Singapore government agency for a preliminary investment understanding meeting.
It took less than five minutes by car to reach the seat of Singapore’s government, and everyone followed the staff to a large conference room.
"Mr. Wu, how was your rest last night?" Li Guanyao greeted him and said enthusiastically.
"Well, very good! The staff is very enthusiastic, the service is very attentive, and the hotel is prepared with great care." Wu Guangyao casually praised.
"That's good! Let's sit down and talk!"
The meeting room is very large. After all, it is a national meeting room. Fifty or sixty people from both sides are sitting together.
Li Guanyao first promised to the business delegation to ensure that everyone enjoys various preferential policies for foreign investment;
Then he said: "The speed of economic development on Hong Kong Island over the years has made us envious. What the British Hong Kong government can do, we can do it, and do it better than them. Please rest assured that we are an open company. A free sovereign country’s promise is the credibility of a country, and we will never make fun of our credibility."
As soon as the businessmen heard this, they felt that the Singapore government is very good at dealing with them and that Singapore’s investment environment is good.
Wu Guangyao took the lead to ask: "To what extent has the infrastructure of your Jurong Industrial Zone been completed?"
This sentence is more concerned by the bosses of textiles, clothing, toys, plastics, etc., so everyone is waiting for an answer.
"The construction of various infrastructure such as factories, ports, wharves, railways, highways, electricity, water supply, etc. in the park can temporarily meet everyone's needs. , It’s completely possible to prepare there now, and we will try our best to ensure everyone’s needs."
Wu Guangyao nodded, and said: "Two years, it's just time to prepare the factory!"
Next, it’s the government officials, talking with the company leaders and bosses.
Cheung Kong Holdings Shi Jun took the lead and said, “We, Cheung Kong Holdings and Starlight Hotel Management Company, want to build a large-scale commercial complex near Singapore’s Orchard Road, integrating office buildings, hotels, and shopping malls. The total investment is estimated. 60 million US dollars, but it needs to cover an area of 220 acres. I wonder if the Singapore government can solve this problem?"
The first time I talked about it today, it was such a big project.
60 million US dollars, this is a project that Singapore can't even think of;
It is those multinational companies that have not invested so generously!
No, many multinational companies have come today, such as Lenovo Electric, Starlight Hotel Management, Baiyou Group, and Oriental Media. Although Cheung Kong is not a multinational company, its strength is not weak.
The government official said cautiously: “The problem should not be big, but I want to ask, how do you plan the 220 acres of land?”
It is impossible for Singapore to reject this project, but the land is too large, so you must ask for the plan!
Charles Star Hotel Management President said: "Our Shangri-La Hotel is going to build the hotel in 15 acres of lush botanical gardens, making it a world-class hotel and providing a good environment for those who come to Singapore to do business. Shangri-La Hotel is expected to have more than 700 luxurious guest rooms and suites distributed in three wings of different styles: the modern tower wing, the tropical garden wing, and the noble canyon wing. The hotel is also Resident guests provide hotel serviced apartments. Shangri-La Hotel also provides 55 sets of four-story villa-style luxury apartments for long-term rentals, and provides a series of supporting services and facilities."
"Of course, we expect to complete the entire hotel in stages, and the total construction period is expected to be completed in 10 years."
"After completion, I believe Shangri-La Hotel will make a certain contribution to Singapore's economy!"
Charles’ plan is obviously authorized by Wu Guangyao. After all, Singapore can be described as a poor one at this time. Who would dare to invest in such a large hotel?
While Wu Guangyao insisted on such a large land, he also took advantage of Singapore’s cheap price to increase the land earlier, so that the hotel would have to re-acquire the land after the hotel expanded.
Development can be developed slowly, it is said that the development is completed in ten years, but it is also possible to build three wings of different styles within ten years;
It is not impossible to keep those villa hotels built in the late 70s or 80s.
As long as you know the development prospects of Singapore, it is very comfortable to cover the land!
The officials of the Singapore government were all frightened by Charles's plan. This is to treat Singapore as the United States!
Shi Jun continued: "The commercial complex developed by Cheung Kong Industrial is composed of two large office buildings, a super shopping mall, and a convention and exhibition center. After completion, it will make a certain contribution to Singapore’s tourism and industrial products. ."
Because this is a preliminary negotiation, Singapore government officials all discussed with each other.
Three minutes later, Li Guanyao said: “We Singapore has no reason to refuse this project. We can provide 220 acres of land around Orchard Road and we are also willing to provide certain loans to the two companies.”
In fact, Wu Guangyao does not need Singapore to provide loans. His own Everbright Bank can lend to Cheung Kong Holdings and Starlight Hotel Management.
Anyway, there is no banking law in Hong Kong. There was no problem with this operation before the 1980s.
However, since government officials have proposed it, they obviously want this project to drive Singapore’s financial industry.
This is no problem, anyway, Wu Guangyao has the final say on the loan amount.
Wu Guangyao said: "Okay, I didn't expect our first project to be negotiated so smoothly, and it was a good start for this business delegation. I have always been a firm supporter of Singapore, and the future economy will definitely not Lost in the existence of Hong Kong Island."
The officials in Singapore looked at each other. How could this one be more optimistic than anyone else!
Of course, no one dares to underestimate Wu Guangyao. He is a guest of the leaders of various countries. The business empire under it is huge. This is the friend Singapore needs most.
