Reborn in Hong Kong: The Tycoon Grows Up

There is no prepared figure for how much wine Bao Shaofou drank, mainly because there are too many types of wine and it is difficult to make comprehensive statistics. However, many rich second-generation people in Xiangjiang who think they have a good drinking capacity did not get up in the morning, and many of them did not even eat lunch, they just wanted to lie down in bed.

Bao Zixuan is not that happy. Many people came to Bao Mansion early this morning to pay New Year greetings. Rich Chinese people from Hong Kong are all in Kyoto at this time. This is a very good opportunity to get closer. Especially since Huo Yingdong also lives here, no one can ignore Mr. Huo's connections in the mainland.

Bao Zixuan, as the richest man in Xiangjiang, the first person to invest in mainland China, and the owner of the mansion, of course cannot stay out of the matter. When someone comes to pay New Year greetings, they must be received personally, otherwise it would be too rude.

In the morning, I have to receive people who come to pay New Year greetings, and at noon, I have to attend a banquet. The official will hold a state banquet to entertain Hong Kong's rich and powerful. The level of reception is quite high. Many people did not expect it before coming.

Seeing that it was almost time, 84 wealthy people in Hong Kong started to drive towards the banquet in their cars. They couldn't be late for such an occasion.

A state banquet is a formal banquet held by the government to entertain state guests, other distinguished guests, or people from all walks of life on important festivals.

Although the wealthy people in Xiangjiang are all wealthy people, they have basically eaten all kinds of good food. However, they were still flattered when they came to the state banquet. This was not a question of what to eat, but more of respect and recognition. People like them will never receive such treatment when they go to the UK, because the British do not regard the Chinese businessmen in Hong Kong as their own.

There are 84 people on the Xiangjiang side, and China has also arranged for 84 people to accompany them. In this way, there are exactly 14 tables, and it can be said that the atmosphere is very harmonious.

Huaxia is very considerate and will have corresponding reception staff to accommodate you no matter what industry you are engaged in. Huo Yingdong will also introduce everyone one by one. For Huaxia, which has little experience in investment promotion, it has been very comprehensive.

Bao Zixuan didn't want to be in the limelight, but he couldn't help being famous. Sometimes you can’t do it even if you don’t want to. Many people were a little surprised that Mr. Bao was placed at the main table, but they thought it was reasonable.

At most, Bao Zixuan has not been in contact with China for a long time, and he is too young. Otherwise, he would really be unable to find any faults when sitting at the head table.

Seeing that things are inevitable, it will become awkward to give in during the transition. Bao Zixuan had no choice but to accept it happily, but he still tried to keep a low profile at the main table, listening more and talking less. After all, he was the youngest in the entire banquet hall. Even the waiters are older than him. This is a state banquet and we must find some experienced waiters. But sometimes you can’t even speak if you don’t want to. If you don’t speak, how can others be embarrassed to speak!

The state banquet dishes draw on the strengths of various domestic cuisines. According to the requirements of "taking taste as the core and nourishing as the purpose", the dishes are included in the palace cuisine list and folk snacks. They include famous dishes from all over the world and the eight major domestic dishes. The cuisine has been widely adopted and the best has been collected to form a unique series of cuisines, which highlights the requirements of "three lows and one high" in modern diet. The taste is a combination of Chinese and Western, scientific and reasonable meal preparation, focusing on health and wellness effects. State banquet dishes are called "tang cuisine" and are an important representative of state banquet dishes. Its characteristics are: precious ingredients and fine selection of ingredients; taste-oriented, mainly fresh and salty; rigorous knife skills and delicate seasoning; soft and tender texture. The color is plain, the embellishment is decent, and the shape is elegant. "Tangcai" has a unique style of "light, fresh and tender, with beautiful appearance and color" and is a wonder of Chinese food culture.

At present, China's economy is not very good, but how can we be stingy about entertaining tourists from Hong Kong? The standard of the state banquet is not very high, but it is still a bit luxurious for China at present.

Bao Zixuan looked very touched. After all, the country is not very wealthy yet; this state banquet is already of the highest standard.

At this time: "Welcome the family members coming from Xiangjiang. Your arrival makes our country more cohesive."

"Now is the traditional Spring Festival period for the entire Chinese world, and today is the first day of the Lunar New Year. Here, on behalf of the people of the country, I would like to extend my holiday greetings to you, and wish you all good health and a happy New Year."

I didn’t say much, I just didn’t want to put too much pressure on Xiangjiang Rich, and I still wanted to have a relaxed atmosphere in the New Year. The Chinese side wants to express more goodwill, and at the same time let the wealthy Chinese in Hong Kong see that the development prospects of the motherland are bright.

After all, it is a state banquet, so even if you like to drink Bao Zixuan, you can only be polite; if you drink too much or make other people drink too much, it will not look good.

Everyone basically chatted while eating. The Chinese side wanted to know which fields and projects Xiangjiang businessmen had investment intentions, as well as their attitude towards the return of Xiangjiang. Rich Chinese businessmen in Hong Kong also want to know about Mainland China's investment policies and see how to invest.

Bao Zixuan didn't want to talk at first, after all, his qualifications were still a bit shallow. At the same time, he doesn’t know what to say. He basically answers every question asked by others.

However, this calmness was quickly broken because he was asked a question. You have to answer anyway, otherwise it would be too rude.

He smiled and said: "Comrade Xiaobao, don't be silent all the time. This is not your character. I heard that your character is quite cheerful. Are you bored with old guys like us?"

When he heard that he was talking to him, Baozi quickly replied: "No, you are all seniors. It is necessary to study more with seniors, so you should listen more and talk less."

There is nothing wrong with Bao Zixuan's words, but if I want to ask him something, his idea is destined to not be realized.

"Young people's ideas and opinions are very novel, and China's development has lagged behind in recent years. Therefore, if you want to overtake in a corner, you still need to see what bold and novel ideas you young people have; what is your age on the inspection team coming from Xiangjiang this time? You are the youngest, but people call you the richest man Bao. This speaks volumes. Don’t be too humble sometimes.”

Bao Zixuan: "I don't dare to take this seriously. It's all reported randomly by some media."

There is nothing wrong with being rich in itself, but showing it off means you don’t have much. Especially in this case, it is important to maintain offsets. But they were destined not to get what they wanted today. They all wanted to dig out some powerful information from Bao Zixuan.

"I've always wanted to ask you a question. If it's too difficult, you don't need to answer it. It's just out of curiosity, and I want to know how big the gap is between China and developed regions."

Bao Zixuan said quickly: "There is nothing to be embarrassed about. As long as I know everything, I will tell you everything."

He smiled and said: "Then it's settled. Don't regret it later."

Bao Zixuan: "It's my honor to answer your question. Why should I regret it?"

"How many workers are there in Heiyun Group now, and what is their income situation? I have no other intention, I just want to know how big the gap is between China's wage level and that of world-class companies."

After saying that, everyone focused their attention on Bao Zixuan. After all, many people wanted to know the true strength of Heiyun Group.

Bao Zixuan said with a smile: "Fortunately, I just signed the year-end bonus payment document before coming to China, otherwise I might really make a fool of myself."

"Currently, Heiyun Group has 1.85 million employees, and the total annual income of ordinary workers in wages, bonuses, benefits, etc. is about 100,000 Chinese dollars."

"The income of an engineer at the first level ranges from 300,000 to 1 million Chinese coins, depending on the specific projects he is responsible for and the contribution he makes."

"Senior engineers and group executives earn more than 2 million Huaxia coins, and there will also be dividends from some projects."

At this time, the official exchange rate between the US dollar and the Chinese currency is about 1:4, which means that ordinary workers can get 2,000 US dollars a month. This is definitely a high wage. It seems that China is too harsh on workers.

I didn't expect the gap to be so big. It seems that China is still far from the level of developed countries in the world, at least in terms of workers' wages, and it will be difficult to catch up in a short time.

In fact, it is not only people from mainland China who are surprised, but other wealthy people in Hong Kong are also surprised. No one thought that the salary of Heiyun Group would be so high. No wonder everyone in Xiangjiang wants to work in Heiyun Group.

"How much can wages account for in the entire company's revenue?"

This is a company secret, but you must answer truthfully when asked. Bao Zixuan said with a smile: "Currently wages account for about 22% of the entire revenue, but it will still increase in the future. The ideal is 35%. In other words, one-third or more of the group's revenue must be paid to workers. Only This way companies can retain talent.”
