Reborn in Hong Kong: The Tycoon Grows Up

After taking MacLehose and others out of the photolithography machine workshop, everyone took a rest in the office area. The internal construction of Heiyun Group is very beautiful, and the greening is particularly good. When Bao Zixuan started construction, it requested that Heiyun be turned into a garden factory.

MacLehose asked: "Heiyun now produces many of its own equipment, which is an amazing achievement. What is the annual output value of Heiyun Group now."

Bao Zixuan: "We have been building factories this year, and the production capacity has not been fully released. It should be around HK$50 billion, and it can reach HK$150 billion next year. We have just visited about half of the place, and there are still toy factories that have not been transferred."

MacLehose said to the Director of Finance: "How much tax did Heiyun pay this year?"

Fortunately, the Director of Finance has read the report. The most important thing is that Heiyun Group is now the largest taxpayer in Hong Kong. He said: "With 2.38 billion Hong Kong dollars, their company has some tax relief this year or the second year, and there is offset by infrastructure construction. Part of the tax.”

MacLehose: "Then where we stand now is the largest company in Hong Kong."

Director of Finance: “In terms of size and taxation, yes.”

MacLehose: "In the past, I only looked at the data of Heiyun Group from the reports, but I didn't experience it as deeply as this time. Industry is the long-term way to support a local economic development. Xiangjiang should vigorously develop industry. For people like Heiyun Businesses need to give strong support.”

Mr. Bao: "Has Heiyun Group encountered any difficulties?"

Bao Zixuan was very happy, knowing that success or failure depended on this, and said: "The main reason is that there is a shortage of science and engineering talents. The existing universities in Xiangjiang are too biased towards liberal arts and do not have outstanding science and engineering talents. Most of the management of Heiyun are Japanese, European and American People, even locals in Xiangjiang, all have the background of studying abroad, and it is difficult to develop in the long term without our own talent training echelon."

MacLehose: "If you have any ideas, feel free to speak out. I am also aware of this problem."

Bao Zixuan: "I want to invest in building one of the world's top polytechnics. Just like my alma mater, Oxford and MIT, it can be a high-profile university in the world."

MacLehose: "This is a good thing! Are there any difficulties or requirements?"

Bao Zixuan: "Land, the land price in Xiangjiang is very high now. I can afford it, but I hope the Hong Kong government can help me build the university. There is a small island near us, and I want to move the residents there. , we can give the same treatment to the residents here. We also need approval from the Hong Kong government to build a university. If not, we can also find a piece of land of about 2,000 acres nearby."

“Also I want the university to be named after my mother, Yulin Polytechnic.”

MacLehose: "You are a filial son. I will figure out how much land you are willing to invest to build this university."

Bao Zixuan: "With US$1 billion, I plan to build this university into the best engineering university in the world. After all, it is named after my mother. Heiyun Group may go bankrupt in the future, but I hope to keep running this university for a long time." Go down."

MacLehose: "Small bag, $1 billion. You're serious."

Bao Zixuan: "As long as the Hong Kong government land is sold to me at a low price, the upfront US$100 million will arrive. Once the design is completed, the remaining bank funds will be earmarked and will be subject to the supervision of the Hong Kong government."

After hearing what Bao Zixuan said, everyone couldn't believe it and immediately took out 1 billion US dollars. It seems that this young man's strength has not been fully unleashed.

MacLehose: "Okay, I will seriously consider this matter. We should all strongly support education."

Seeing that it was almost noon, the group of people walked towards the canteen. On the way to the canteen, I saw so many facilities in Heiyun Factory. There are many sports venues that even Hong Kong University does not have.

MacLehose smiled and said: "Mr. Bao, you really spent a lot of money on the construction here, you are really willing to spend money!"

Bao Zixuan: "The supporting facilities nearby are not very complete, so we have to think of ways to entertain ourselves! The workers have a hard day's work, and I can't treat them badly!"

MacLehose: "This time I am reassured of your sincerity in building the university. Seeing as you are building so many sports and entertainment facilities, you should not engage in real estate."

Nowadays, the real estate boom in Xiangjiang has caused many companies to lean towards this aspect. I wonder if Bao Zixuan will get the 2,000 acres of land at a low price and then build a real estate project. That would defeat the original intention of developing education.

After entering the canteen and seeing the food, MacLehose thought it was specially prepared for them. After all, he spent half a day experiencing life in Heiyun Factory this morning.

However, he was surprised to see workers eating here. At this time, Bao Zixuan said: "Dear colleagues, today all the factory infrastructure of Heiyun Group has been completed. Our first phase of planned production capacity can now be fully released. This is close to Without taking credit from everyone, I am here to thank everyone for their hard work and dedication over the past year.”

"At the same time, it is also inseparable from the strong support of the Hong Kong government. We are honored to have Governor MacLehose come to Heiyun Group for investigation today. We are grateful for Governor MacLehose to speak for us."

At this time, everyone spontaneously applauded. After all, MacLehose was a diplomat and his eloquence was pretty good. Said: "I am very happy to come to Heiyun Group today. I see that many of Heiyun's technologies and products are the most advanced in the world. This makes me full of confidence in the future of Xiangjiang."

"I hope everyone will continue to work hard to make Xiangjiang more beautiful and prosperous."

After a few brief words, everyone started to eat. Today’s lunch is a simple working meal. There are no special arrangements. There will only be a group dinner and drinks in the evening.

Dong Haoyun: "I have long heard that the food here is good, Xiaobao, but I didn't expect it to be so good. It seems that our company still has a lot to learn."

MacLehose asked: "Mr. Bao, do you usually eat like this?"

Bao Zixuan: "Absolutely. Our meal standard is 12 dishes. Only when workers eat well can they have the strength to work and be in a good mood to devote themselves to their work. My dream is that the employees working in Heiyun will be This is the last time to work, or I will retire in Heiyun, or I will go out and start my own business."

MacLehose: "You are right. Only such a factory can have cohesion. It is precisely because of entrepreneurs like you that Xiangjiang will develop better."

MacLehose left after lunch, and when he left, he told him that a charity dinner would be held at the Government House on December 31. After all, as the Governor of Hong Kong, being able to stay in one company for such a long time is a great honor. What Bao Zixuan is most worried about now is the issue of university approval. If the Hong Kong government does not approve it, then the university will not be established at all. Heiyun's own hematopoiesis cannot obtain outstanding scientific and engineering talents, which is detrimental to future development. He has always had a dream in his heart to build a world-class polytechnic university.

At this time, Huaxia universities are not very good at cultivating science and engineering talents. He must work hard to change this situation on his own. Given the current situation in Xiangjiang, MacLehose must support him, otherwise Bao Zixuan would not have been able to slip away from him like this. At the same time, it also meant to show off his muscles, allowing him to take a good look at Heiyun's strength.

When Dong Haoyun left, he said: "Little bag! What a big deal you are playing this time! I am old, but education is Xiangjiang's century-old plan. If you need anything from our Dong family, just ask, even if I am no longer here, the Dong family will also Need help!”

Bao Zixuan: "Then thank you, Mr. Dong. I will definitely not be polite when the time comes!"

Dong Haoyun: "My wife will celebrate on the 4th of next month. Why don't you go back to the United States so soon?"

Bao Zixuan: "No problem. Mr. Dong will have to prepare wine when the time comes. I am a very good drinker."

Dong Haoyun: "Don't worry, there is no shortage of wine at home." After saying that, he left with a smile.

Bao Zixuan knew that there were many gatherings among major families in Hong Kong these days, and the Hong Kong government would also invite some business people to attend charity dinners and exchange feelings.
