Hong Kong: Rise of the Kings

"What, Shunfeng Express, and Bird Station?"

When Lei Juekun and Li Jiacheng came to Sir Bailiqu's home and told him the contents of the conference, Bailiqu was shocked.

To be honest, he already had a high opinion of Du Yongxiao and thought that Du Yongxiao would take special measures to solve the rickshaw incident this time, but he never expected that Du Yongxiao's method would be to establish an express delivery company and establish Feiniao Station.

When he first heard what Li Jiacheng said, he didn't take it seriously, but later he was completely shocked.

Only a genius like To Yongxiao can set up such express delivery branches in 18 districts in Hong Kong.

"Since then, the employment problem of those rickshaw crews has been solved; in addition, we can also cooperate with many companies in Hong Kong to do express delivery business, making huge amounts of money!" Li Jiacheng sighed. "I don't know how this Du Yongxiao's head grew. It's unbelievable, unbelievable!"

Lei Juekun remained silent.

Bailiqu looked at him, "Boss Lei, what do you think?"

Lei Juekun smiled bitterly and said: "How else can we look at it? There is no conflict between our establishment of a taxi company and his establishment of an express delivery company. In turn, they can complement each other. The most important thing -"

Lei Juekun thought about it: "According to Du Yongxiao's work style, this express company will take shape very quickly. As long as the business is busy, we can take the opportunity to go public. Then we can make a lot of money and copy this model in other places around the world. For example, he is familiar with the United Kingdom, the United States, Japan and other places, and then circle the second and third waves of money!"

Baili Qu couldn't help but be moved when he heard this.

"Is the person named Du so powerful?"

Li Jiacheng spoke at this time: "If it were me, I would definitely do this. What's more, a person named Du is also called a business wizard?"

Bailiqu's eyes flickered for a moment, then dimmed: "It seems that we lose this round again!"

…

Hengchuang Real Estate Company.

As the heads of the real estate company, Liu Jianxiong and Bai Yingjun are reporting in detail to Du Yongxiao on the development of the real estate company in recent years.

"Now we have department stores built in Mong Kok, Tsim Sha Tsui, Causeway Bay and other places in Hong Kong."

"Part of the company's main source of income comes from rent collection from shops and part from apartment leasing. In contrast, the money earned from developing residential properties in the New Territories and other places is not much."

Du Yongxiao nodded.

"It's good to make as much money as you can from renting out shops or leasing them. Because what we earn is money from the rich. As for the New Territories, they are already poor and it is not easy for ordinary people to make money. It would be better to use the money to buy a house at a cheaper price. .For example, if they do anything to save face, we at Hengchuang will strictly put an end to it."

Du Yongxiao said lightly.

"Also, the most important thing is that our purpose at Hengchuang Real Estate is not to develop real estate, let alone to plunder land resources. On the contrary, our purpose is to redesign and develop the land that is not fully utilized, or the old real estate -—— In a word, focus on resource planning!”

Du Yongxiao held a three-hour meeting with Liu Jianxiong, Bai Yingjun and others, and almost finished everything that happened to the company.

At this time, the female secretary came in and said that someone was looking for Du Yongxiao. When asked, it was Young Master Huo.

…

"Master Huo, do you have anything to do with me?"

In Du Yongxiao's office, the first guest was welcomed, Mr. Huo.

Young Master Huo sat down on the sofa and said before Du Yongxiao could speak: "Axiao, you have to help me!"

"Uh, what's the matter?" Du Yongxiao asked the female secretary to serve tea, then turned to Mr. Huo and said, "It seems that I have encountered a problem if I can get you to talk."

Young Master Huo sighed, "It's not our family's business. As you know, I'm not as good as my two younger brothers in business. Originally, my father planned to let me inherit his sports career, and I had nothing to object. Yes. I happened to meet you during this period, and I followed you into real estate, so my family gave me the construction company, and now I am doing well."

"My two younger brothers didn't expect me to be so capable, and my father is also very impressed with me. Now I feel proud at home, and I don't have to be afraid to serve when I eat."

"How wonderful this is. The family is harmonious and the career is taking off. What else do you want me to help you with?" Du Yongxiao pushed the tea in front of Young Master Huo.

Mr. Huo smiled bitterly and said: "You also know that our Huo family started out by shipping. Shipping is the largest area of ​​our family business. Now my father intends to hand over this business to me, but my two younger brothers also don't care about it." Watching with eager eyes——"

Du Yongxiao smiled: "This kind of situation is unavoidable. Especially for a wealthy family like yours, fighting for power and profit is commonplace. But you don't have to complain to me. Could it be that you want me to help you win the shipping company?" ?”

"No!" Mr. Huo shook his head, "I don't intend to compete with my two younger brothers, and I don't want the shipping company either."

"Ah, Mr. Huo, you are so considerate!" Du Yongxiao gave a thumbs up to Mr. Huo, "Others' brothers are fighting for the company, so it's better for you to give it away!"

"Axiao, please don't put a high hat on me. I know best how much I weigh. It's good to be able to run a construction company well. If I add a shipping company, I'm afraid I won't be able to handle it."

Du Yongxiao nodded, "Yes, Mr. Huo, you belong to the Xiaoyao faction and don't like to be harassed by such annoying work."

"Are you kidding me?"

"I'm jealous of you."

"Whatever you want! But you have to help me."

"You haven't said anything yet, how can you help?"

"Leave the establishment of Shunfeng Express to me!"

"Uh, what do you mean?"

"I'm going to be independent and separate myself from the family business by running a courier company." Mr. Huo vowed, "In this way, even if I start my own business outside, it's understandable that I don't want to take over the family business."

Du Yongxiao understood, nodded and said: "But setting up an express delivery company is not an easy task. Can you handle it?"

"Don't be afraid, aren't you behind me? If I can't handle it, you handle it!"

"Oh! Thank you. You are such a good person and you are so considerate."

"Haha, who made you and I friends? If not, who would you cheat?"

Du Yongxiao was about to answer when the phone rang.

Du Yongxiao was stunned for a moment, then stood up and picked up the phone. A loud voice came from the other side: "Axiao, is Zhenting with you? If so, you come to our house for dinner with him!"

Du Yongxiao turned to look at Mr. Huo.

Mr. Huo shrugged innocently: "I'm sorry, I'll cut it off first and tell him later. Otherwise, you've given me full authority to take care of the express company! I'm ready to leave the family!"

Du Yongxiao rolled his eyes: "My dear Mr. Huo, can you be more mature? Do you really think that your family will let you go and let you start your own business? Isn't it a good idea to pursue your sports career?"

"No, I didn't say I wouldn't engage in sports—"

"and you---"

Young Master Huo stood up and walked over to Du Yongxiao, patting him on the shoulder: "You and I are good brothers, and we should do sports together, do you want to?"

Du Yongxiao was stunned for a long time, "I want your mother! Tell me quickly, what is the purpose of your coming today?"

Mr. Huo smiled slightly: "Go to my house and you will know!"

…

The Huo family lives in a garden villa on Keton Road in the West Mid-Levels of Hong Kong Island. It covers an area of ​​more than 20,000 square feet. Even if calculated in square meters, it is nearly 2,000 square meters. When in other areas, a whole tenement house only costs more than a hundred thousand Hong Kong dollars. , a garden villa here has exceeded one million or even two million.

This garden villa was bought by Mr. Huo in the 1950s. The Huo family was the first Chinese to live in a hilltop house in Hong Kong. Mr. Huo's neighbors were the shipping king Pao Yukang and the jewelry tycoon Zheng Yutong. And another old shipping king, the Dong family.

Du Yongxiao got off Mr. Huo's car, thought about it, asked Yan Xiong to wait outside, and took the "gift" from Yan Xiong for Mr. Huo, then turned around and walked towards the villa with Mr. Huo. Go inside.

Come to the door of the living room.

Du Yongxiao and Mr. Huo changed into their home shoes together and then walked towards the restaurant.

According to the tradition of the Huo family, unless the family separates and lives alone, whenever they come home to eat, the family must sit at the dining table to eat together.

At this moment, Mr. Huo was wearing loose casual clothes and was reading newspapers at the dining table.

Mr. Huo's two younger brothers accompanied him.

Logically speaking, women are not allowed to sit at the dining table, so there are only three people at the huge dining table: father and son.

"Father, Ah Xiao is here!" Young Master Huo said to Brother Huo from afar.

After hearing this, Mr. Huo looked away from the newspaper and looked at Du Yongxiao.

The two young masters of the Huo family also looked at Du Yongxiao.

Everyone knows each other.

Du Yongxiao nodded to them, then walked straight to Mr. Huo and said hello to Mr. Huo.

"Uncle Huo, hello!" As he spoke, Du Yongxiao handed over the gift he was carrying, "This is the Huiren Shenbao I developed in the United States. It is very good for the body!"

Mr. Huo smiled and asked the maid to hand over the gift: "I'm ready! Sit down!" pointing to the seat opposite.

Du Yongxiao was not polite, walked over and sat down like a family.

The maid helped him put on plates and chopsticks.

"The guests are here, let's serve the food!" Boss Huo ordered.

So the maid was busy for a while, and soon there were more than a dozen meat and vegetable dishes on the table.

Looking at the drinks, it is Du Yongxiao's favorite drink, Moutai, not the most fashionable and popular foreign wine in Hong Kong.

In fact, Du Yongxiao has always scorned foreign wine.

He believes that the main reason why foreign wine is so popular in Hong Kong is that young people pursue fashion and imitate ghosts.

When it comes to drinking it, foreign wine is unpalatable to people who drink wine.

When the food was served, Mr. Huo motioned for everyone to use their chopsticks and talked while eating.

Du Yongxiao was not polite, picked up his chopsticks, picked up what he liked, and ate happily.

His gesture made the two Mr. Huo stunned, thinking that Du Yongxiao really didn't regard him as an outsider.

Boss Huo was very happy and even told Du Yongxiao to eat slowly and not to choke.

"Ah Xiao, I heard that Zhen Ting said that you handed over the express delivery company to him?" Mr. Huo was in poor health and ate less. He put down his chopsticks after taking a few bites and asked.

"It is indeed true. I have been staying in the United States during this period and am not very familiar with the affairs in Hong Kong. In contrast, Mr. Huo is very familiar with the roads. He knows where to set up offices and where to start construction. With him, I believe that Shunfeng Express will take shape soon."

Huo Da saw Du Yongxiao praising himself as a flower, so beautiful that he bared his teeth.

He is very aware of his status in the family.

Although he is the eldest brother, he is not as smart as his two younger brothers in business because of his slow mind. Therefore, Mr. Huo has not been very optimistic about him. I thought he couldn't bear the heavy burden, but now I admire him with admiration.

"Ah Xiao said that he would hand over the express company to you. What do you think?" Mr. Huo looked at his son again.

"I have already planned to establish an SF Express branch in the 18th district of Hong Kong, and also have an auxiliary Feiniao Station..." Mr. Huo looked at his father levelly and spoke his thoughts in a calm tone.

He also analyzed clearly which places were suitable and which places were not suitable.

Mr. Huo thought for more than ten seconds before saying: "For a new thing like SF Express, if the new company operates properly, it is likely to be listed in the future. If the model is successful, it can be replicated in other countries or other cities. Since then, a change Two, two becomes four, four becomes eight, endless life--Zhen Ting, you have finally found a good career! If you need me to do anything, just ask. Being independent is a good thing, but after all, I am also your father, so I will definitely Will help!"

"Thank you, father!" Mr. Huo said to Mr. Huo with beams.

It was rare for father and son to be so in sync with each other in this regard, which made the other two young masters Huo stunned.

In particular, Mr. Huo judged that Shunfeng Express was likely to be listed on the market in the future and make a lot of money, which made them a little jealous of his eldest brother.

Mr. Huo put down his chopsticks and asked a few questions about Mr. Huo's express delivery business, then turned his eyes to Du Yongxiao who had just put down his chopsticks and picked up a rag to wipe his mouth. He asked: "Ah Xiao, I am very grateful to you for giving Zhenting this Opportunity to start an independent business. But I also have high hopes for him, hoping that he can help me take care of the family sports business. Now he is busy opening an express delivery company and needs a helper in this regard. I think you are quite suitable. How about it? Are you interested?"

"Sports business? Which aspect is it specifically? Can I ask first?"

Du Yongxiao is not stupid. The Huo family seems to have never made any money from sports. On the contrary, they all donate money! For the country and the nation, donate hundreds of millions or billions!

Mr. Huo smiled slightly: "The specifics are like this. You also know the Hong Kong Football Association. This association has always been very private, very private, has no government support, and has no fixed residence. But now Hong Kong football is booming, and we are ready to officially Establish a Football Association, find a suitable place for the Football Association to serve as a club, and recruit some staff——"

After a pause, Mr. Huo looked at Du Yongxiao with stern eyes: "This is a long-term project, a very expensive project. Unless the Football Association goes bankrupt, otherwise we need to pay all the expenses every month. How about it, Ah?" Xiao, do you have such courage?"

The Hong Kong Football Association was founded in 1914. When the Football Association was first established, it did not have any paid staff or a fixed office; all personnel involved in the administrative and management work of the Football Association were entirely voluntary.

In 1954, the Football Association was registered as a limited company under the Companies Act.

In the same year, he also joined the International Football Association and the Asian Football Confederation as members.

At this time, Hong Kong football also entered a prosperous era. In order to further promote the football business, the then Chairman of the Football Association, James Skinner, rented the newly expanded Hong Kong Club Stadium on Sports Road, Happy Valley, for a monthly rent of NT$75. The office was located in the basement under the No. 1 stand of the stadium, and the lease period was 15 years. Year.

The number of staff at that time also increased from two to four.

By the 1970s, the FA had more than ten employees.

In order to cope with the large amount of work in the future and the exchanges and connections with the outside world, and to have a long-term and fixed place to develop business, the Football Association applied to the government in 1972 to allocate land to build a permanent clubhouse.

The plan was finally realized in 1974, when the British Hong Kong government officially handed over a piece of land in Ho Kau Tin to the Football Association to build a clubhouse.

Now, the land is available.

The funds to build the Football Association are still not in place.

The reason is that the Football Association spends too much money!

The construction costs and future operating costs are astronomical figures no matter how you calculate them.

Without the support of the British Hong Kong government, no one would be willing to spend money to burn it. Only people like Mr. Huo who love sports will succeed in this cause regardless of the consequences.

But Boss Huo also knows very well that the Huo family alone cannot do it.

To do this, he had to drag a few people into the water.

For example, his good neighbors, the shipping king Bao Yugang, the jewelry king Zheng Yutong, and the shipping king Dong, etc., are all his first considerations.

But at this moment, Du Yongxiao jumped out and wanted to do some kind of express delivery with his big company. After careful consideration, it turned out to be a super profitable business.

Therefore, Du Yongxiao became the best target.

the reason is simple,

Du Yongxiao, young! rich! The most important thing is the ability to make money! It's like a gold mine that will never be finished!

Mr. Huo must dig more with this pickaxe no matter what!
