Reborn in Hong Kong: The Tycoon Grows Up

At present, Heiyun's most important investment is the construction of Heiyun Town in Xiangjiang; and of course the foreign exchange business in East Germany. However, East Germany did not dare to absorb too many East German marks, even though it was clear that after the reunification of the two Germanys, East German and West German marks would be exchanged on a one-to-one basis. But that is mainly for ordinary people; large financial institutions have quantitative restrictions.

If West Germany saw that the Black Cloud Group actually held tens of billions or even hundreds of billions of East German marks, it would be a different idea. In the face of huge wealth, no one can guarantee that they can cash it in. Discounting may be the best option at that time. If you encounter a rogue, it may be confiscated directly; by then it will be too late to cry.

As for investments in Japan, Blackstone Fund is basically responsible. The current scale and volume are already very large. If we increase investment, it will be very difficult to leave the market with dignity. Moreover, after the Blackstone Fund completes its work in Japan, it will not return to the United States; instead, it will go directly to the Soviet Union. After all, there is a gluttonous feast waiting for them there.

After all the calculations, Heiyun employees have not benefited yet. If you want your employees to work with you wholeheartedly, you must not lack income.

No matter how luxurious your life is, it is at least better than most people in this world.

Bao Zixuan said with a smile: "Since you have been to the Chinese mainland many times, how would you rate the work attitude of the citizens or workers of the Chinese mainland?"

No matter what question a superior person asks, there must be other reflections. The boss suddenly asked about the working attitude of Mainland China citizens and workers. This made Huo Jianning, who had been in Mainland China many times before, immediately think of something.

Huo Jianning: "The workers in Mainland China are very hard-working. It would be fair to say that they are the hardest-working workers in the world. The most important thing is that they are very hardworking and willing to do any dirty work; they never care about personal gains and losses."

Although Yuan Tianfan has been to mainland China several times because of Heiyun Bank's expansion into the mainland market. But the people I interact with are all high-end people, and it is rare to see ordinary construction workers at the bottom of society.

Before Huo Jianning became the head of Hutchison Whampoa, he was responsible for the infrastructure work of Heiyun Group's deep-sea factory; therefore, he still has a relatively deep understanding of this aspect.

Hearing Huo Jianning's answer, Bao Zixuan was still very satisfied. So he said with a smile: "Then how much are their wages!"

When the boss mentioned salary, the two of them immediately thought of something.

Huo Jianning: "The wage level of workers in mainland China is only one-eighth of that in Xiangjiang, or even lower. The wages of construction workers are even pitifully low; the overall construction cost is basically negligible."

Bao Zixuan said with a smile: "Although I am not majoring in economics, nor have I studied in the economic field. But I also know that a country has a group of hard-working workers, and the salary is not high. So how powerful productivity can be generated? It’s unimaginable.”

"As far as the whole world is concerned, the overall salary level in Xiangjiang is not very high. Of course I am not boasting, except for Heiyun Group. But except for our Heiyun Group, there are basically no high-tech companies, which makes the income in Xiangjiang simply cannot match the housing prices. Proportion. But this is also a process that the Chinese world must go through. In the future, the real estate market in Hong Kong is bound to be so high that most people can only look up to it."

"The same goes for China mainland, which has a population of more than 1 billion. Moreover, there are not many good areas in China mainland. They are basically concentrated on the southeastern coast. Therefore, the population size of big cities will be extremely large in the future."

"It can't be seen now, but in ten, twenty, or even thirty years, urban housing will inevitably be insufficient. After all, there are currently more than 7 levels of population in mainland China, and they still live in rural areas. There are already many farmers, Young people, especially, have begun to yearn for life in big cities.”

"It is only a matter of time before they enter the city. This is a process that any country in the world must go through to develop. Therefore, I am absolutely optimistic about the economic development of mainland China; only God knows what height it will reach in the future."

The two were shocked when they heard Bao Zixuan's analysis. It is true that the boss has not studied economics, but his understanding of historical knowledge, control of the current situation, and economic planning analysis are very good. Some things cannot be learned at school. Maybe this is a matter of talent.

Huo Jianning: "I also know that the Chinese mainland's economy can develop and even soar to the sky. But now there is a question, is it necessary to acquire so much land at once?"

"Mainland China has introduced a new regulation. As long as the land is acquired without construction for more than three years, it will be taken back without compensation. If this happens, the financial pressure on the entire Hutchison Whampoa Company will be very great."

In fact, this is also a strategy for attracting investment. Some companies cannot be allowed to come and fish in troubled waters. However, Mr. Bao still has absolute confidence in this. Regardless of the three-year construction period, the progress of the project also has priorities. For cities with rapid economic development, the construction speed can be accelerated. For cities where the economic development is not that fast, it is completely feasible to spend time on foreign workers, after all, the construction will not be effective.

Bao Zixuan said with a smile: "What is the price of land now? What will the price be if we get land ten or twenty years from now? So don't worry about these. Classic buildings will never go out of style."

"Also, we can design first, and after the design is completed, cities with faster economic development can start construction at full capacity. For cities with relatively backward economic development, we can completely do it as a show. The terms only stipulate that construction must start within three years. , and there is no stipulation on when it will be completed.”

"But one thing must be controlled, that is, workers' wages must not be in arrears. They must also be personally supervised and paid to workers on time every month. Some cities in mainland China are not so open yet. It is normal for workers to pay their wages annually. This This matter must not appear in my Bao Zixuan project."

"No matter who is involved, there should be no scruples. Hutchison Whampoa's reputation is of paramount importance and must not be ignored."

The boss has made it so clear, if you still don’t understand. Then they don't have to stay in the company anymore, and they can step aside as senior executives to make way for others.

Huo Jianning: "Boss, if I follow what you said, then 50 billion Hong Kong dollars is not enough. After all, there are too many cities involved. Although land in mainland China is not expensive now, the area we need is really too large. And they are all key cities. Every city is also a city center. The demolition issue alone is a nuisance."

In the 1980s, people were still relatively simple, and there were no fixed households. The ideas are not that complicated, and there are no sky-high prices. And being able to move out of old bungalows and live in buildings is what every resident dreams of. But Bao Zixuan doesn’t want to get things done, let alone attract online troll attacks in the future.

Bao Zixuan: "Then 100 billion. In short, it must be done in one step. The residents involved in the demolition must be appeased. The compensation given to them can buy a house anywhere in the local area; or simply sign a contract with them The agreement not only provides financial compensation, but the buildings after construction can also be included in the scope of compensation."

"You are professionals in this area, and you can handle the specific situation yourself. In short, I want to see a satisfactory result, and at the same time, I can't let anyone poke my back, Bao Zixuan."

The boss's intention is very clear, just follow this. Everyone knows how to spend money, but if you just spend money, it really doesn't reflect your ability.

Yuan Tianfan immediately understood what Bao Zixuan meant, so he said with a smile: "If Hutchison Whampoa has insufficient funds, Heiyun Bank can provide financial support. At present, we have a lot of deposits, even beyond imagination. So don't worry about funding problems, Heiyun It can be solved within the bank.”

Hearing such a confident guarantee, Huo Jianning really didn't know what to say. But Bao Zixuan's words brought him back to reality.

Mr. Bao said with a smile: "Don't blame me for not reminding you two. Issuing new shares may be the last time Hutchison Whampoa will do this. The possibility of value-added share expansion in the future is very small. Therefore, it is best to buy more without affecting your life." Since you are with me, I will definitely not treat you two badly."

The boss's business vision was never wrong, and Huo Jianning and Yuan Tianfan immediately understood what he meant. Dare to let them invest, which shows that they have absolute confidence in the project. And the problem is not limited to the two of them, but involves tens of millions of employees of Heiyun Group. If there is a problem with the project, then the entire Heiyun Group employees, who will still have the heart to work, may suffer even greater losses.
