Codename Doctor, Moved to Hong Kong

Chapter 27 Crystal Palace Site Selection
"It's settled now. You draw up a contract and I'll sign it and pay you!
It just so happens that I am also engaged in the shipping industry and want to go to America to buy ocean-going ships. We can go together then.

If you buy a lot, it will be easier to negotiate the price!" Zhang Chaoyang said with a smile.

After seeing Bao Yugang off, Zhang Chaoyang stood up and left the reception room.

I came to the back garden, sat on the lounge chair, picked up the chilled white wine and took a sip.

This white wine tastes better when it is chilled.

There were two mermaids in the swimming pool. When they saw Zhang Chaoyang coming, they immediately climbed out of the swimming pool, walked to Zhang Chaoyang, and sat down next to him.

"Brother Chaoyang, can you find something for me to do?
It's so boring to stay at home every day!" Hu Jiahui and Hu Jianing hugged Zhang Chaoyang's arms on the left and right, begging in a tender voice.

"What do you want to do?" Zhang Chaoyang asked with a smile, enjoying the gentle touch on his arm.

"I want to open a gold shop! I've dreamed of owning a gold shop for a long time!"

"Opening a gold shop?"

"Brother Chaoyang, do you think this is okay?" Hu Jiahui hugged Zhang Chaoyang's arms tightly in her arms, twisting her body and asked coquettishly.

"sure!

So, do you want to do everything yourself, or do you want me to open a gold shop for you and let you be the boss?" Zhang Chaoyang enjoyed this feeling and asked dotingly.

"What's the difference?"

"Of course there is a difference.

You have to do it yourself, which means I will only provide you with the funds to open a store, and you need to take care of everything else by yourself.

For example, renting or buying a shop, decorating a shop, and finding a skilled goldsmith, all of these have to be done by you.

Just be the boss, that's easy, I'll take care of everything I mentioned above, you just need to be the boss."

"I want to do everything myself!"

“Okay, I’ll let Xu Yan help you, and you can just find a shop on Queen’s Road to open a store!

How much money do you need? Go to Lao Chen and get it!" Zhang Chaoyang said cheerfully.

"Thank you, Brother Chaoyang!" Hu Jiahui was overjoyed and gave Zhang Chaoyang a kiss excitedly.

After a long time, Hu Jiahui was defeated.

"Brother Chaoyang, I want to open a store too!" Hu Jianing protested unhappily.

"You! You are still too young, you should go back to school!
After you graduate from university, I will open a big company for you!" Zhang Chaoyang said with a smile.

It’s fine for Hu Jiahui to open a gold shop. After all, she is already nineteen and is considered an adult.

But Hu Jianing is only seventeen years old this year, which is the right age to go to school.

In Hong Kong at this time, the legal age for marriage is 16. If you are still unengaged or unmarried at the age of 19, you are considered an older leftover woman.

"Really? I can still go to school?"

"Of course. I'll let Xu Yan help you decide what major you want to study!" Zhang Chaoyang said with a smile.

He is not an old-fashioned person, so naturally he would not demand his woman to stay at home.

That is not conducive to family unity.

Just imagine, a few women, with nothing to do after eating their fill every day, would surely start to scheme against each other.

"Really? Thank you, Brother Chaoyang!" Hu Jianing also excitedly gave him a kiss.

Zhang Chaoyang responded without hesitation.

Two women in swimsuits leaning against him made Zhang Chaoyang a little angry.

Since they were so angry, they naturally had to find a way to calm down... The next day, Hu Jiahui took Xu Yan to Queen's Road to look for a suitable shop with great interest, and Hu Jianing also went to join in the fun.

Only Zhang Chaoyang was left in the study reading the newspaper.

Newspapers are the best channel to understand Hong Kong in this era.

"Bang bang!" There was a knock on the door outside.

"Come in!" Zhang Chaoyang said to the outside of the door.

"Sir, Mr. Zhao is here and he wants to report something to you!"

"Let him wait in reception room No. 1!" Zhang Chaoyang said, then stood up and walked out of the study.

"Sir!" Seeing Zhang Chaoyang walk in, Zhao Donglai quickly stood up and greeted him.

"Tell me, what brought you here today?"

"Sir, the film department under Pacific Entertainment Culture Communication Company has been prepared. The director, photographer, lighting technician... are all ready.

We are preparing for our first movie." Zhao Donglai reported the affairs of the entertainment and cultural communication company in a serious manner.

"Yeah!" Zhang Chaoyang nodded without much concern.

Movies of this era are just so-so. Although they are popular, they are actually just so-so. When it comes to making money, they really don’t make much.

At the very least, to him, the money earned from making movies is nothing.

What Zhang Chaoyang values ​​is the industries derived from movies, such as cinema chains.

Now, film companies do not pay so much attention to cinema chains, which is the best time to deploy cinema chains.

"Sir, what do you think about the location of the Crystal Palace?" Zhao Donglai asked Zhang Chaoyang.

"Do you have a suitable location?" Zhang Chaoyang asked with a smile.

Previously, Zhang Chaoyang and Smith said that they wanted to transform Repulse Bay into a Crystal Palace, but in fact it was just an excuse. The purpose was to acquire the land of Repulse Bay Hotel.

"Sir, we have chosen a piece of land. It is located in Causeway Bay, between Gloucester Road and Kingston Street. If we build a Crystal Palace here, we can see the sea." Zhao Donglai quickly took out the prepared drawings and showed them to Zhang Chaoyang.

“Is there any other location?”

"The other place is near the Yuewang Ancient Temple.

There is also a piece of land on Stanley Street on Queen's Road East, which meets the requirements after all." Zhao Donglai pointed to the map and reported to Zhang Chaoyang.

"Among these three places, which one has the largest area?"

"The largest piece of land in Causeway Bay, between Gloucester Road and Kingston Street, is the largest. We held a meeting to discuss it and unanimously agreed that this place is more suitable for building the Crystal Palace."

"Then choose this place!
Crystal Palace is not just a nightclub, it also provides catering and accommodation services. In short, it provides a one-stop service for food, drink, entertainment and accommodation.

After we acquire this piece of land, we will open it to the whole world for bidding. We will first recruit designers and then construction companies. We must open it to the whole world and don't be afraid to spend money!
The bigger the momentum, the better." Zhang Chaoyang pointed at the map.

"Yes!"

“Don’t think that inviting bids from all over the world will delay time and increase costs.

Opening up bidding to the whole world is itself a form of publicity.

It's not easy for us Chinese to live in Hong Kong. We have to be inferior to the foreigners in everything.

It would be a very meaningful thing if the Crystal Palace, built by us Chinese, could be put up for bidding all over the world and let the foreigners serve us.

It can greatly boost the confidence of Chinese people.

This is the same principle and purpose as the skyscraper I want to build." Zhang Chaoyang patiently explained his intention to Zhao Donglai.
