Resource Tycoon Reborn

There is nothing to say about the quality of Longxing Construction Group Company's projects. Even the top companies in Hong Kong's construction industry dare not say that the quality is higher than it, because Hong Kong's buildings have not experienced any damage like a strong earthquake.

The "baptism" of natural disasters. √ Most of the world's strong earthquakes occur at the edges of crustal plates. Hong Kong is located within the Eurasian plate, not at the edge of the plate. The famous Rim-Pacific earthquake zone is located at the boundary of the Eurasian plate and the Pacific plate and runs through it.

Japan, Taiwan and the Philippines. Hong Kong is quite far from this active seismic zone, so the chance of a major earthquake is very slim. Of course, this does not mean that Hong Kong has never experienced earthquakes. In the past thirty years, Hong Kong has experienced five

Sixty felt earthquakes, that is, earthquakes occurred in other areas, and non-epicenter areas were felt due to the impact, but they did not cause obvious losses to people or property in Hong Kong. However, the project of Longxing Construction Group was built during the earthquake.

The district, and even the core district, withstood the test of a major earthquake.

Moreover, Longxing Construction Group can undertake the construction of railways, subways, highways, airports, skyscrapers, dams, ports and other projects. No construction company in Hong Kong can diversify its business like it. Therefore, Ji Zongze is not at all

What advantages do you think these companies in the Hong Kong construction industry can have over Lung Hing Construction Group?

Moreover, Fang Mingyuan made it very clear that this is to control construction costs. The same project is done by Hong Kong companies and mainland companies. There is a huge cost difference. Just look at the 26 projects just mentioned.

You can understand this with the kilometer high-speed railway. People are not doing it to make money, but to do good deeds. It seems unreasonable for them to accept Hong Kong's unreasonable construction labor costs. Moreover, the lower the construction cost, the less public rental housing the government will be able to allocate in the future.

The more, this is a very simple truth.

But... Ji Zongze looked at Mr. Guo and Zheng Yutong with a wry smile and said, "Young Master Fang doesn't have a deep understanding of some issues in Hong Kong. Could it be that you two don't have a clear understanding either?"

"We know very well how many difficulties there are in this, but it has never been his style to give up on difficulties." Mr. Guo said with a smile, "There are many things. If you don't give it a try, how do you know it won't work?"

"This matter can be regarded as a special case. We two old men have some respect in Hong Kong, and this is a charity project. Are those people still demanding that charity be done in accordance with their standards?" Zheng Yutong said calmly.

Authentic, "Besides, we agree to donate overseas, but if some people believe that this is harmful to Hong Kong, can we publicly refuse it? If that doesn't work, we can also donate Kwok's Shipping Group, Chow Tai Fook Jewelery and Gold, Hong Kong Brocade

Will Lake Film Group and Kowloon Airlines be driven out of Hong Kong?"

Ji Zongze was shocked. If Kwok Shipping Group Company, Chow Tai Fook Jewelry and Gold Company, Hong Kong Kumho Film Group Company, and Kowloon Airlines collectively moved out of Hong Kong, it would be a big event.

"I know that to achieve this, we will face more and louder opposition than when we announced that companies will not cut wages or lay off employees, but if we don't try, how will we know how loud this voice is?

What?" Fang Mingyuan said with a smile, "Actually, to be honest, I am not a Hong Konger, and I have no say in Hong Kong. No matter how deformed the real estate industry in Hong Kong is, for Longxing Construction Group Company, which has not entered this industry,

It doesn’t have a big impact. Most of the companies under our Fang family’s main market are not in Hong Kong. To put it more radically, they have given up on the Hong Kong market. I think many cities around the world will welcome them to settle down. But

Grandpa Guo and Grandpa Zheng were born on this land and will be buried on this land in the future. Their lifelong efforts cannot be separated from this land. As a junior, I naturally want to fulfill their wishes as much as possible, even if

It’s good to let them see that there is a possibility of solving the problem.”

Ji Zongze took a deep breath and said: "Then what are you going to try? Hong Kong society cannot tolerate unrest. Once social unrest is caused, even I have the only option to resign." Although he did not say it clearly, his meaning was very clear.

The lessons learned by the former Chief Executive of the SAR are not far away. Moreover, some people in Hong Kong society are already panic-stricken and cannot withstand the hardships.

"If you just let it go, there may be no problems with your current term, but what about the next chief executive, or the next chief executive? By that time, it will be too late to do anything!" Zheng Yutong said calmly, "Besides,

Okay, this is just a try, with the support of the three of us, even if there is a counterattack, hum!"

Fang Mingyuan couldn't help but glance sideways at Zheng Yutong. He had been getting along with Mr. Zheng for many years. This was the first time he had seen the domineering side of the old man. In the past, in front of him and Zheng Jiayi, the old man always looked like a kind grandfather. However,

…How can the old man be a good man if he can develop Chow Tai Fook Jewelery and Gold Shop to the scale it is today?

"You haven't seen this side of him, have you?" Mr. Guo noticed Fang Mingyuan's eyes and chuckled, "Back then, your Grandpa Zheng also managed Chow Tai Fook Jewelry and Gold Shop with an iron fist, but now that you are older, you can look away from many things.

If you do, naturally you won’t show this side easily.”

"Brother, our eldest brother, let alone our second brother, when you were in charge of Guo's Shipping Group Company, you were tougher than me." Zheng Yutong rolled his eyes at Mr. Guo and said.

Ji Zongze's mouth twitched. He is a native of Hong Kong, and his family is considered a member of the upper class. Regarding the past of Zheng Yutong and Mr. Guo, he naturally knows some things that ordinary people do not know. As Zheng Yutong said

It is said that Mr. Kwok was also a ruthless person in Hong Kong's industrial and commercial circles back then. He was not only ruthless to others, but also to himself. Otherwise, how could he have created the huge foundation of the Kwok Shipping Group Company?

"Sir Ji, this is what I think..." Fang Mingyuan said with a smile, "Tomorrow is New Year's Eve. Let's first announce the news that companies such as Kuok's Shipping Group Company and Chow Tai Fook Jewelery and Gold Company have promised not to cut wages or lay off employees within three years.

Let everyone have a good New Year. After the New Year, we will announce the news of this pilot. First, we will only say that it is an intention, and then we can allow local residents in Hong Kong who intend to improve their living conditions to apply, and we will see how the society reacts.

"

Ji Zongze nodded slowly and said: "Okay, it's best to let the media speak out and make the momentum bigger."

"Let me know in advance, Commander Ji, I may bring some private goods into it." Fang Mingyuan said with a smile, "By then, Commander Ji, just don't think I have ulterior motives."

"Forget it, sir, sir. I'm asking you to call me Uncle Ji, please?" Ji Zongze said with a smile, "I wonder what private goods Mr. Fang wants to bring in?"

Fang Mingyuan smiled and said: "Uncle Ji, in the near future, the Hong Kong media may provoke a round of discussion on the pre-sale system of commercial housing." Ji Zongze is over sixty, so it doesn't matter if he is called uncle.

"Commercial housing pre-sale system?" Ji Zongze was a little confused as to how it was related to this thing.

"The pre-sale system for commercial housing is now the mainstream in the real estate industry in the Mainland. This guy can't stand it, so all the real estate projects that Longxing Construction Group is responsible for implement the existing house sales system." Mr. Guo explained with a smile, "And, for off-the-plan properties,

The pre-sale system for commercial housing is considered to have been introduced to the mainland from Hong Kong, so he plans to wipe out the bottom line."

“This is mainly because the domestic real estate industry is not formal enough, and developers do not have enough understanding of their responsibilities in fulfilling contracts. The pre-sale system of commercial housing often brings many sequelae, and many domestic developers now have sufficient development capabilities.

strength, it is somewhat inappropriate to continue to promote pre-sales of commercial housing on a large scale. To protect the legitimate rights and interests of consumers and to avoid unnecessary trouble, Longxing Construction Group Company has always implemented sales of existing houses, and I hope

More and more companies in the mainland can implement existing home sales." Fang Mingyuan said.

Ji Zongze suddenly realized that he couldn't help but look at Fang Mingyuan with something strange. This person really took an unusual path. Needless to say, the benefits of the commercial housing pre-sale system for real estate developers. This person

But he took the initiative to abandon it. However, Ji Zongze couldn't help but sigh in his heart. The Fang family has been able to develop to its current scale in a short period of time. This attitude of not being greedy for cheap and showing sincerity is probably also a key point. Obtained

If you have won the trust of consumers, do you still need to worry about the sales of your products?

At this time, the housekeeper suddenly came over and whispered a few words in Mr. Guo's ear. Although it was said softly, because Mr. Guo was old after all, his ears were somewhat deaf, so everyone present listened.

Very clear...

Early the next morning, Fang Mingyuan yawned and climbed out of bed, rushing to the airport to take a flight to Fengyuan.

"What did you and Mr. Li talk about? You talked for more than an hour?" Angelina looked at Fang Mingyuan's exhausted look and asked with a smile. Last night, she was rushed to rest by Fang Mingyuan.

I heard other people say this.

"Nothing, just talking about some things about the British Electricity Company, a subsidiary of EDF Group." Fang Mingyuan said, "I will tell you the details later, let me get some sleep first." With that, he fell on the bed again. Fang Mingyuan said

I slept until the plane was about to land, and then Angelina woke me up.

Yesterday, he talked with Li Ren, who came unexpectedly, for more than an hour. If he wanted to make a difference in the real estate industry in Hong Kong, Li Ren would definitely not be able to avoid it. Fang Mingyuan also knew very well that although he was currently

His net worth should have surpassed Li's, but in Hong Kong, especially in the real estate industry, Li's attitude plays a crucial role.

Mr. Guo has always focused on the shipping industry. Later, the Guo family’s funds invested heavily in the Fang family’s industries. Therefore, the influence of the Guo family in the real estate industry in Hong Kong is limited. As for Mr. Zheng, he is probably also affected by it in this life.

Due to Fang Mingyuan's influence, many of the Zheng family's assets have been injected into the Fang family's industries. In addition, Chow Tai Fook Jewelry and Gold Company has expanded into the mainland and overseas markets. Therefore, the Zheng family, which should have occupied an important position in the real estate industry in Hong Kong, is not as influential as

In the previous life. Moreover, the Li family and the Fang family have always been partners. Although they are not as close as the Guo family and the Zheng family, the Li family is also present in many companies under the Fang family.

Fang Mingyuan originally planned to find time to talk to Li Ren and seek common ground while reserving differences. He did not expect him to provide strong support, but at least he did not want to stand clearly in the opposite camp.

In yesterday's meeting, Fang Mingyuan asked Li a question. If Hong Kong citizens all use their money to buy houses and overdraw their income in the next twenty or thirty years to buy houses, then what will flow into the real economy for consumption and production?

Will there be less money? And if the real economy cannot survive, with factories shutting down and shops closing, will people's incomes drop or even lose their jobs? And by that time, people who buy houses will not be able to afford the mortgage and will not buy a house.

People who live in Hong Kong, let alone buy a house, may not even be able to pay the rent. What will Hong Kong citizens do to support the rising housing prices? If Hong Kong also experiences a property market crisis, for the companies owned by the Li family,

, and what is the result?

Li Ren is naturally not someone who is easily persuaded. Moreover, although the Li family controls the largest real estate company in Hong Kong, its share is only a fraction of the entire market. Even if they stand on Fang Mingyuan's side, they cannot change it.

The current situation of Hong Kong real estate.

Fang Mingyuan then came up with his trump card. Several companies owned by Li Ren are joining forces to acquire all the UK regulated and non-regulated power grid assets of edfenergy, its UK power network business, from EDF.

The UK supplies about a quarter of the electricity and has nearly 8 million customers across the country. However, the acquisition process is not smooth. First, EDF has no intention to sell its companies at this time. Second, not only Li

People are interested in the company, and a consortium composed of the Canada Pension Plan Investment Board, the Abu Dhabi Investment Authority, Australia's Macquarie Group, and two European group companies have also expressed their willingness to acquire.

When I came to the Guo family's old house at night, I actually wanted to talk to Fang Mingyuan and see if Fang Mingyuan had any ability to help in Europe. He is a director of HSBC Holdings Co., Ltd., whose influence in the European business community is extraordinary.

.

And Fang Mingyuan also has a good card in his hand. The Welf family owns 17.8% of the shares of EDF and has great influence on the board of directors of EDF. (To be continued.
