Reborn in Hong Kong: The Tycoon Grows Up

Early the next morning, the three of them had a simple breakfast and set off for Tin Shui Wai. Martin-Griff and Romanski wanted to see the site conditions on the spot. The only advantage was that the Hong Kong government geological experts had handed over detailed reports on the land to the Black Cloud Group. Otherwise, the geological inspection alone would have taken a lot of time.

Tin Shui Wai is located in Yuen Long District, Hong Kong New Territories. It is surrounded by villages such as Sha Kong Wai, Fung Ka Wai, Wang Ting Tsuen, Ha Mei San Chuen and other villages belonging to the Ping Shan Rural Committee. It is about 25 kilometers away from the Central urban area.

Tin Shui Wai was originally a walled village in Yuen Long. The surrounding area was formerly a large fish pond (Gai Wai) like Nam Sang Wai. In the late 1970s, Tin Shui Wai Development Co., Ltd., headed by Cheung Kong Holdings, acquired land assets in Tin Shui Wai and planned to develop Tin Shui Wai in the form of a new town. 1The Hong Kong government reached an agreement. The government announced that it would acquire all the land in Tin Shui Wai and would instead develop the Tin Shui Wai new town. In the late 1980s, the government launched the development of a new town in Tin Shui Wai. The surrounding fish ponds were filled in and developed into a new residential town. One public housing estate, Tin Yiu Estate, was completed, while Tin Shui Estate was completed. Kingswood Villas, developed by Cheung Kong Holdings, has been occupied in various phases. In the early days, the area around Lok Wu Court and Tin Yiu Estate was the central area of ​​Tin Shui Wai. With the opening of Harbor Plaza 1, Tin Shui Wai Park and the area around Kingswood Ginza became the new town center. In the same year, the Tai Lam Tunnel was officially opened to traffic, and residents of Tin Shui Wai no longer needed to rely on the Tuen Mun Highway to travel to the city. The development of the southern part of Tin Shui Wai is largely completed and it has now become a very prosperous community.

The development policy of Tin Shui Wai North is to build 85,000 units a year. Therefore, the height and density of public housing buildings in the north of Tin Shui Wai are higher than those in the south. Tin Chung Court and Tin Wah Estate were in the peak period of occupancy in Pak Uk Estate, Tin Shui Wai, in 1999. The population has increased sharply. In 2001, the population in the area reached 270,000.

The extensions of the Kowloon-Guangzhou West Rail and the Kowloon-Guangzhou Light Rail were opened to traffic in 2003. External traffic in Tin Shui Wai has been greatly improved. 2 The Hong Kong Wetland Park in the northeast of the town was officially opened, adding a new tourist attraction to the area.

Currently, part of the land in Tin Shui Wai and surrounding areas is occupied by the Hong Kong government, part is owned by Bao Zixuan, and the rest is in the hands of Li Chaoren, China Resources Corporation, and the largest local landowners in Tin Shui Wai.

Bao Zixuan was thinking about this issue on the way. After he took the lead in developing it, would he make wedding clothes for other companies? After all, Heiyun Group only occupies 3 floors of this land.

However, after seeing the Shekou Industrial Zone opposite, Bao Zixuan stopped caring. Now that he can get the land so cheaply, why should he be dissatisfied. Only by throwing off one's arms and doing something big can we be worthy of this era. Bao Zixuan now thought that if Heiyun proposed a plan to build Tin Shui Wai, the Hong Kong government would definitely agree. At that time, Heiyun Group would build Tianshui Wai. It would definitely be more beautiful than the previous construction, and it would not be impossible to even build a second Xiangjiang Center.

Hong Kong government staff were already waiting for them. This time MacLehose directly sent his secretary Joante to lead the Land Bureau staff to plan the land for Bao Zixuan. This was also a disguised form of attention.

The information prepared by the Land Bureau this time was very detailed, and they knew that Bao Zixuan needed a piece of land close to the seaside. They gave all 30,000 acres of land on the seaside to the Heiyun Group. In this way, Bao Zixuan can play as much as he wants on his own land.

After all the procedures and land surveying were completed, Joante said to Bao Zixuan: "Sheng Bao, my task has been completed. This is the contact information of the Governor. You can call him at any time if you need it."

Bao Zixuan: "Thank you, Your Majesty the Governor, for me. I will definitely beg for mercy from him often in the future! As long as he doesn't find it annoying."

After Joante left with the Land Bureau personnel, looking at such a large area of ​​land, Martin-Griff and Romansky's mood was beyond words. This is the place they want to design, and it is too big!

Martin-Griff: "Bao, leave these to us to design."

Romansky: "Yes! Bao, why do I feel that everything is so dreamy!"

Bao Zixuan: "Don't worry! Half of the area here must be built for the university, which is 15,000 acres. You plan according to half of the area. For the rest, I promised Professor Rubik to design a landmark building for Heiyun."

"Seeing that there is no hill over there, build a park on it. Students can have leisure and entertainment on it in the future. The pool can be planned as a swimming pool, and as for the flattest land over there, you can design it as a playground."

"Of course, these are my personal opinions and are only for your reference. Design is your specialty, I just want to get the results you want."

Martin-Griff: "Bao, what is your big budget for this university? We also need to have a number in mind."

Bao Zixuan: "One billion US dollars, you can design according to this budget. Don't be afraid of spending money, I just want to rely on my personal efforts to turn this place into the best university in the world."

Once they get into working mode, these two roommates are relatively reliable. Instead of the usual jokes, he began to carefully check every data left by the Land Bureau. This aspect is indeed worthy of praise.

Bao Zixuan has to go to HSBC Bank to attend a banquet in the afternoon, so he doesn't have much time here. Moreover, it would be impossible to check out such a large area of ​​land in a short time. His two roommates would have to stay in Xiangjiang for at least a month, so they would spend a lot of time together.

After Bao Zixuan explained some things, he drove towards HSBC Bank.

At the same time, in the main house of the Zhang family near Tianshuiwei, Mr. Zhang was listening to reports from his subordinates.

A young man said: "Sir, I have inquired clearly and asked someone from the Land Bureau to verify it. It was the land purchased by Bao Zixuan of the Heiyun Group from the Hong Kong government for the purpose of building a university. I heard that Bao Zixuan is going to build a university. A world-class university of science and technology. I don’t know if it’s true or not.”

Mr. Zhang: "Whether it is true or not, it is true that he is developing the land with his attitude. Once Heiyun is developed, the value of the land in our hands will definitely increase. This is our opportunity."

"Haven't China Resources and Li Chaoren always wanted the land in our hands? This time Bao Zixuan will take the lead in developing it. Let's see what price they offer me. If the price is too low, selling the land directly to Bao Zixuan is also a good option."

The young man said: "Master, we are not familiar with Bao Zixuan. Why don't we contact him now! I'm afraid I won't be able to find him if it's too late. I heard that he is often in the United States and only comes to Xiangjiang occasionally."

Mr. Zhang: "Don't worry, now let's see what the attitude of Li Chaoren and China Resources is. If they don't come up with real money this time, don't think they picked up our land for nothing like last time."

Last time the Zhang family sold the land for almost nothing. The Zhang family hoped that China Resources and Li Chaoren would vigorously develop the land after purchasing it. Then the remaining land they have will rise.

However, after a few years, there is still no movement between the two families. Now that Heiyun Bao Zixuan has entered Tianshuiwei, the balance here will be broken, and everyone wants to strive for the maximum benefit.

At the same time that the Zhang family knew the news, China Resources and Li Chaoren knew that Heiyun Bao Zixuan was going to build a university in Tianshuiwei almost at the same time. I had only heard about this before, but today I saw Heiyun surveying the land with great fanfare and bringing all the designers over. Then it must be a done deal.

They also need to make their own plans. In fact, Li Chaoren wanted to wait for a while to get the Zhang family's land in his hands before negotiating with the Hong Kong government. However, now that Bao Zixuan has entered the scene, the plan has been completely disrupted. Now we can only make a decision based on how vigorously Bao Zixuan will develop the land.
