Hong Kong Island Old Events

"Thank you, Mr. Li. The next step is that Oriental Group just wants to explore the Nanyang market. It is naturally good to do the real estate business first."

The real estate market in Sin Chau is similar to that of Hong Kong Island. They are both port cities, with less land and more expensive buildings. Moreover, the real estate market in Sin Chau started earlier than that in Hong Kong Island. It entered a wave of price increases ten years ago. However, due to the independence crisis in the past two years, , property prices have cooled slightly, but they will rise again within three years at most.

Even if you hold three pieces of land in your hands and don't develop it, you can earn 10 million just from the dividends.

Of course, if you really want to do real estate business in Sin Chew, it would be a bit short-sighted. Given the importance of the Malacca Strait, there is a lot of potential in aviation, waterways, finance, and container terminals, but aviation and cargo ship business are the basics of local people.

Unless Jiang Tianyang takes another two steps forward and becomes a politician with real power, or makes another political deal with Boss Li in the future, the possibility of obtaining aviation and waterway business is too low. Many wealthy local families are eyeing this piece of fat, and a foreigner who wants to split the accounts needs to be very capable.

The container terminal is the highlight. Like Hong Kong Island, it is still in the hands of British companies. If you want to win over the Singapore Terminal Company, you will have to cut off the strength of Malacca. The only opportunity is finance, but the financial risk is too high. It is better to do it in Hong Kong. The island's management is stable.

These require more than ten years of planning.

However, the shipping attributes brought by the Malacca Strait have made Singapore a delivery center for international bulk commodity transactions, such as grain, steel, non-ferrous metals, etc., which are traded in the futures market. When delivery is required, the Singapore terminal is the busiest. At that time, whether you were a warehousing company or a commodity trading market, you could make a lot of money. In short, if doing business in Singapore revolves around shipping, you will not lose money.

So after He Dingxian toasted, he shamelessly requested: "Mr. Li, Oriental Group intends to establish a bulk commodity delivery company to provide delivery services for bulk commodities in Xingang. I wonder if I can get a franchise license?"

Due to the huge volume of bulk commodities, there are many transportation and delivery processes that ordinary cargo owners have no idea about. Bulk commodity delivery services have emerged as the times require. They often charge a handling fee to help get all the paperwork and load the goods. The ship can leave, and the cargo owners are willing to pay to meet the deadline.

Similar intermediary service companies are widely found in various corporate industries, and are generally run by local gangsters. There are also companies in Singapore that specialize in related businesses, but they are not formalized. If you can get a specialized license and use capital to clear the market, you will soon be able to get involved in bulk commodity trading. This business not only has high profits and low risks, but also can absorb data and comprehensively judge commodity prices, which will be beneficial to futures trading on Hong Kong Island in the future.

After hearing this, Li Guangyao thought for a moment, glanced at He Dingxian, and agreed: "It just so happens that the government also intends to standardize the delivery process of bulk commodities and needs an agency service company. The bidding will be open at that time, and Mr. He can consider bidding."

He Dingxian was overjoyed and said with a smile: "Thank you very much for Mr. Li's support. Oriental Group will definitely comply with laws and regulations and try its best to participate in the bidding."

“Work hard together for Sin Chew’s economy.”

Li Guangyao said with a smile.

"cheers."

"cheers."

In fact, given his status, since he asked Oriental Group to bid, the project would definitely fall into the hands of Oriental Group. However, asking Li Guangyao to come up with a license has already used up the favor of Oriental Group. If it cannot expand in Singapore in the future, If investment serves Li Guangyao's policies, it will be difficult to get any benefits.

Half an hour later, after the group finished their meal, Li Guangyao personally sent the guests to the entrance of the official residence, ordered Wu Youdong to receive them, and then returned to the official residence to continue working. In fact, Ho Dingxian did not stay in the official residence for long. It was already the center of power in Singapore, and anyone who was not a district boss had to avoid the spotlight.

He Dingxian also visited Malaysia Airlines, Singapore Terminal and other companies. Malaysia Airlines is a half-British-owned, half-state-owned company, backed by HSBC Bank, and spans Malaysia, Brunei, and Singapore. Each state has shares, the future Singapore Airlines will be a spin-off subsidiary of Malaysia Airlines.

night.

He Dingxian, Jiang Tianyang, Jiang Tiansheng, and Wu Youdong dined together in the hotel again, but the atmosphere at night was much more free than at noon. After all, the hotel and the official residence were two different environments. Jiang Tianyang even arranged for a beautiful sommelier, and Wu Youdong also responded to this. Happy to accept.

When the meal was almost over, Wu Youdong picked up his wine glass and suddenly said: "Mr. He, I have a friend who I heard has some issues with you. Can you give him a chance to apologize?"

"Do I know Mr. Wu's friend?" He Dingxian was sitting in the guest of honor seat. He was stunned at first, but he immediately realized who it was and laughed out loud: "If it is true, Mr. Wu can invite him over. "

"it is true."

Wu Youdong smiled bitterly: "As the secretary of the Action Front, I often help Mr. Li raise campaign funds and contact Chinese businessmen. I have to deal with those people. I collected money before, but now I have to pay it back."

"To be honest, that person is the boss of Shaw Brothers. If Mr. He doesn't want to meet, I can help him refuse."

From these words, it can be seen that Wu Youdong did collect the money before, not the money he just collected. If he just collected the money, he must try his best to facilitate the meeting. The buyer will see the effect. He Dingxian said cheerfully: "Mr. Wu is too polite. We are friends. Even if we don't do it for your sake, we must do it for Mr. Li's sake. After all, I will still do business in Xingzhou in the future."

"OK."

"I asked Mr. Shao to come over." Wu Youdong turned around and made a gesture. The assistant who had been standing at the door immediately turned and left. Within a moment, Shao Yifu appeared in a black suit and glasses. Seeing the various looks on the table, Run Run Shaw adjusted his attitude, bowed and nodded and said: "Mr. He, Mr. Wu, Mr. Jiang."

"Mr. Shao, please sit down." He Dingxian raised his hand and pointed to a chair. After Shao Yifu pulled out the chair, he did not sit down immediately, but apologized: "I'm sorry, Mr. He, doing business in Hong Kong Island, my life If you are not familiar with the place, you will be offended."

"Please forgive me, Mr. He."

Shao Yifu originally thought that he would pay the price of his second brother's life and let the last incident be over. Unexpectedly, his business in Nanyang was hit hard again. Three pieces of amusement park land were confiscated by the government, resulting in a direct loss of more than 10 million Hong Kong dollars. It is a leg that interrupts Shaw Enterprises' entry into real estate.

You must know that these three pieces of land were purchased at low prices during World War II. Now they have increased several times. Even if the government refunds the original price of the land, Shaw will not be able to purchase new land. What scares him most is that He Dingxian actually Already influential in Singapore's government affairs.

If you can copy his territory today, will you be able to copy the theater chain tomorrow? Although this possibility is objectively very low, what businessmen care about most is risk, and any risk will be infinitely magnified under the influence of funds.

For Run Run Shaw, Hong Kong Island is a new market, and Nanyang is his foundation. Even the roots have been dug up. What's the use of making movies on Hong Kong Island, no matter how good they are? There is no market to make profits at all, and the competition between the Shanghai Chamber of Commerce and the Guangdong Chamber of Commerce is like a joke.

Because his original intention of establishing the Shanghai Chamber of Commerce was to seize the market.

However, He Dingxian smiled and replied: "Why did Mr. Shao say this? You are free to do business in Hong Kong Island as long as it is upright, reasonable and legal, just like I came to Singapore to do business. There is no offense to each other."

"It's just normal business competition and some official friction."

However, Yifu Shao smiled bitterly and said: "Mr. He, we can all make money together in the Hong Kong film market. If Oriental Group is interested, they can come to Singapore to screen movies. Shaw Brothers Cinemas can be open to Oriental Group."

After Shao Yifu got the news of the accident on the amusement park land, he immediately rushed back to Nanyang and tried to stop the government investigation plan. However, the investigation team was very determined and there was no room for maneuver.

After many investigations, I found out the whole story. I found out that my house had been stolen, and I had to rely on various connections to sue for peace. Since I was suing for peace, I had to provide benefits. Opening up Nanyang's Shaw Cinemas to the Eastern Group was one of the few bargaining chips. .

It is also the most sincere and valuable bargaining chip.

"I have a cooperative theater chain in Nanyang." He Dingxian held the wine glass and said in surprise: "Is there anything special about the Shaw Brothers theater chain? At worst, I will buy it again when you close down. As a businessman, you have to deal with things. cost.”

Shao Yifu's expression suddenly became very ugly. Wu Youdong immediately stood up and said to Shao Yifu: "Mr. Shao, since Mr. He agreed to meet you, he actually intends to give you a chance to apologize to Mr. He seriously."

"Sorry."

"He Sheng."

Shao Yifu bowed again, lowered his head and said: "Shao made a mistake. He should not have brought the Shanghai Chamber of Commerce against He Sheng. The Shanghai Chamber of Commerce will make more cautious decisions in the future."

He Dingxian picked up a towel, wiped the corners of his mouth, and said coldly: "Be more cautious? From now on, a copy of the meeting minutes of the Shanghai Chamber of Commerce Council will be sent to me on the same day. Are there any problems?"

Shao Yifu said: "No problem."

"alright."

"Sit down and eat." He Dingxian said aloud, and Shao Yifu just sat down on the chair, but He Dingxian immediately stood up and said with a smile: "Wu Sheng, Ayang, let's wash our feet together."

"Mr. He, walk slowly."

Shao Yifu bounced up again.

Jiang Tianyang followed the boss out, smiling and very arrogant, while Jiang Tiansheng was polite, low-key and reserved, with a cigar in his hand. When he went out, he looked back at Shao Yifu and said, "Be more sensible in the future."

He Dingxian is a person who doesn't like hypocrisy very much. He won't eat if he is not in the mood to have a meal with a bad guy. As for the meeting minutes of the Shanghai Chamber of Commerce, he actually wants to secretly control the decisions of the Shanghai Chamber of Commerce.
