The Industrial Giant Reborn

"That's okay. Hong Kong Electric itself is not good at real estate. In the overseas power generation business, you can only lend funds with your guarantee. It's more convenient to separate them." Prolos nodded and said, he is actually very smart. Under people like Chen Zhiwen, his identity as a British person makes it impossible for him to become the top management of the pyramid. If Hong Kong Electric really expands overseas, his position may not be guaranteed. On the contrary, if he just If you keep Hong Kong, then there should be no problem. Not only him, but also many British people within HK Electric. As one of the companies acquired by Chen Zhiwen, HK Electric is very free. The management has never been changed, and as far as finance is concerned Several Chinese commissioners from Chen Zhiwen were arranged.

"Okay, then you are responsible for this matter. Just follow the rules of the Hong Kong Stock Exchange." Chen Zhiwen said.

"No problem." Pross agreed.

"Can the new thermal power station on Lamma Island be ready for trial operation soon?" Chen Zhiwen asked again. Hong Kong Electric's original power stations were all in the south of Hong Kong Island. In the past, it could not be said to be deserted, but there were also no people living here. However, as Hong Kong's population increased, the real estate business also began to touch Hong Kong Electric's power station in the 1970s. The pollution from the power plant was still a bit serious. Therefore, the Hong Kong government gave Hong Kong Electric a large piece of land on Lamma Island. Land, let them move over. The Chunghwa Electric Power next door doesn't have this problem.

Before Chen Zhiwen acquired Hong Kong Electric, the power plant on Lamma Island was under construction. However, such a project cost too much, so Hong Kong Electric could only build it slowly. After Chen Zhiwen's acquisition, he accelerated the construction of the power plant, and even had no funds. Extra investment. The original Hong Kong Electric did not dare to take too big a step because it was worried about problems with future profits. But Chen Zhiwen knew what was going on, so he naturally arranged to work as hard as possible. Therefore, the power station on Lamma Island was built earlier than in the original history. Much.

"Yes, it will be launched next month. It is estimated that by the end of the year, it will be able to replace the existing power station." Poulos said.

"Okay, before that, complete the split of Hong Kong Electric." Chen Zhiwen nodded and said. After the existing power plant is relocated, a large piece of land will be left behind, which is the most famous Harbor Plaza and Lijiang Plaza owned by Li Jiacheng in later generations. Although the location of the two plots of land in Hong Kong City is not comparable to that of Taikoo Shing, in the late 1980s and early 1990s, such a large area was already considered to be a quasi-land king level. It just so happens that after Hong Kong Electric is split, it will be almost ready for development.

Of course, as a power plant, the land is also polluted, and treatment of this area still requires a lot of money and time. However, these two pieces of land are known as one of the four walled villages. Each project has thousands of residences, and the profit is not even lower than that of office buildings in Central. And it usually comes with a simple commercial complex. Pollution control is nothing compared to the benefits that Hong Kong real estate can bring in the future.

Some developers in later generations bought industrial land at low prices and built residential buildings regardless of whether it was polluted or not. This was simply crazy.

"Understood." Pross agreed.

The time soon came to early May. In a luxurious VIP room in the maternity care area of ​​Hong Kong Huagang Hospital, Liu Xiaoli was sitting on the sofa, licking sunflower seeds.

Chen Zhiwen was also there, reading the newspaper, and they were both basking in the sun. Subconsciously, Chen Zhiwen picked up two bananas and handed one to Liu Xiaoli.

"I don't want it. If you eat too many bananas, you will get fat." Liu Xiaoli shook her head quickly and said.

"You won't get fat if you eat bananas, but it's easier to get fat if you eat melon seeds. Nuts are full of fat. Just eat 30 of them." Chen Zhiwen took all the melon seeds on the plate and ate them himself. stand up.

"You're still telling me that you ate a lot yourself." Liu Xiaoli took the banana and after eating it, she saw Chen Zhiwen cracking the melon seeds at a very fluent speed. After a while, half a plate of melon seeds were gone. .

"It's okay. I'll eat less for lunch later, but you can't do that. You have to eat normally." Chen Zhiwen said with a smile. Although he is a man, he has always been pursuing keeping in shape. Not to mention how good it is, as long as the BMI is kept below 22. . The peak of human metabolism is in the 20s. After 30, the metabolism decreases and it is easy to gain weight. Many people in later generations say that men gain weight after marriage. This is mainly due to this reason. Also, after getting married, people may eat better. Especially men, so all the food they can’t eat goes into their stomachs, so it’s weird if they don’t gain weight.

Therefore, Chen Zhiwen also has a dedicated nutritionist and training classroom to ensure his body. In fact, it is very simple to do, just eat less and go hungry, but this requires perseverance to resist the temptation of various foods. Many rich people around the world actually have a similar control model. Among the rich group, most people are not fat. On the contrary, those poor people who work 996 every day are easy to gain weight because they have no time to manage.

"When the child is born, I will control my figure like you." Liu Xiaoli said after taking a sip of water. Since she became pregnant, especially with twins, the elderly at home have been trying their best to supplement her nutrition. Fortunately, Chen Zhiwen also understands a little and has some restraint, otherwise she would not know what to do.

"It's up to you. It won't take more than a few days. Just stay in the hospital with peace of mind. The medical technology here is no worse than that in developed countries." Chen Zhiwen nodded and said.

Huagang Hospital is a hospital he invested with Pao Yugang, Li Jiacheng, Wu Yingxiang, Robert Kuok and other Hong Kong tycoons three years ago. It is not for profit and exclusively serves Hong Kong's local wealthy families.

We focus on two professional directions. The first is physical examination. Whether it is equipment or medical staff, we choose the best regardless of cost. There are many wealthy families in Hong Kong, but everyone is also very busy every day, especially the rich generation who start their own businesses. The body is often neglected for the sake of career. In every era around the world, there are super-rich people who have been diagnosed with terminal diseases. In the end, no amount of money can save them, such as Steve Jobs.

Therefore, the main purpose of Huagang Hospital is to relieve the rich from their worries. Many examinations are available at home, whether at work or at home, thus saving the time of the rich. Of course, some inspections involving large equipment are still not possible.

The second is childbirth. The wealthy families in Hong Kong naturally attach great importance to their offspring. Although there were similar hospitals in Hong Kong before, they are still not as good as the new hospital jointly built by several major families.

It can be said that this hospital provides a certain degree of health protection for Hong Kong's wealthy families. After it was built, it became quite popular among Hong Kong's wealthy families.

Of course, if you think of the middle class in Hong Kong, the kind who pay more attention to their health, they will still enjoy the corresponding services here, as long as they are willing to spend money. Even in a few years, Hong Kong housing prices will increase several times, and if you have money People will also grow explosively, so Huagang Hospital, which is currently losing money, may be able to operate on its own in the future.

When Liu Xiaoli was about to give birth, Chen Zhiwen arranged for her to move in. This was his own territory anyway and he could deal with anything that happened.

"Yeah." Liu Xiaoli nodded and said.

In the past few days, Chen Zhiwen and even the Chen family's parents have come here often. It's okay to work here. The hospital has specially set up an office. If you want to stay at night, there is also the Chen family's luxury apartment nearby. Just treat it as an occasional experience. The large flat floor Comfort, in fact, many rich people do not like villas, but large flat floors, each has its own advantages.

During this period, several companies under Chen Zhiwen were also operating normally and in an orderly manner.

Red Bull has launched a new wave of large-scale publicity around the world, spending hundreds of millions of dollars to promote itself in several mainstream developed countries, using celebrities from all walks of life and extreme sports, with the intention of further winning the 1985 Summer of Market, the hottest time for the beverage market is naturally summer, and the total market value is basically the same, especially the smaller energy drink market. Once Red Bull promotes it heavily, it will definitely compress the viable space of other brands. Today's In the international energy drink market, Red Bull is the largest, but it cannot be said to sit back and relax. There are strong local brands in the United States, Europe, and even Japan. These brands are either backed by large funds or other big-name beverage and food companies. , Red Bull is now burning money to grab the market. In fact, it is to force the backends of these companies to retreat. They have many businesses, and energy drinks are just one of them. If the largest brands in this industry continue to burn money, they will eventually If you give up, even if the business brand is not withdrawn, you may not invest a lot of resources again.

Domestically, the first phase of the new factory in Shanghai has been completed. The structure of the food factory itself is relatively simple, especially instant noodles, which can be easily made by small workshops. However, due to the requirements of the Shanghai Municipal Government, The factory also uses as little advanced automation equipment as possible to create more jobs, and the equipment is even simpler. With the help of the Shanghai Municipal Government, a large number of instant noodles from the factory have begun to be distributed to many cities in the country. It tastes very good and is a high-fat, high-calorie food that is highly nutritious in the mainland today. The sales volume is also very impressive, and orders from all parties are too late to be produced. Now they are also rushing to build the second phase of the factory 24 hours a day and night.

Midea is relatively normal. Games continue to dominate the global market, and other businesses are similar to before. However, this can only be said to be that the market share is about the same. Benefiting from the rapid growth of the computer market, in terms of turnover alone, it is still at a very fast pace. In the process of rising, domestically, the factory in Shenhai City is under intense construction. The project of this factory was later than that of the Shanghai Food Factory, and the infrastructure requirements are much higher. Even if the domestic infrastructure construction speed is faster, it will still have to wait until July. The completion of the first phase is only the completion of the first workshop. The domestic market has also begun to open up to Midea's products, and the demand is not low, but after all, Midea's products are on the high-end route, and Hong Kong is Bian also has strong production capacity, but it doesn't have a big impact.

Hutchison Whampoa's situation at home and abroad is basically in a state of normal development, and Zhou Jiayang and other management can basically cope with it. As for Land, the current core business is naturally preparing to cooperate with Disney, but Disney is still in Yanjing We have negotiated many details with the relevant central departments, and it is not possible to obtain permission so quickly. After all, it has only been less than half a year, and it will not be easy to ask the mainland for special approval to bypass the Joint Convention.

Costco in the United States has also completed its second round of financing and has introduced many people close to the White House. Costco itself is not a sensitive industry. Coupled with these relationships, at least in the short term, the problem should not The next step is to go public and raise funds. Major investment banks in the United States are very interested in this. However, Chen Zhiwen also knows that the best time is before the 1987 stock market crash. It can be said that the reason why the 1987 stock market crash occurred is It is also a self-shuffling of the market, because the enthusiasm before the stock market crash was too great and the bubble developed rapidly. Of course, Chen Zhiwen had to take advantage of this good opportunity to make a fortune in the bubble first. After the stock market crash broke out, he could also follow the US government It means that large companies are allowed to repurchase market stocks to stabilize the stock market. Maybe they can also obtain a low-interest government loan and repurchase some stocks at a low price. That would be a great deal.

These are his first-level companies, which are the most important, and the others are second-level companies, which are currently quite good in scale and have the potential to become first-level companies in the future, but they are developing normally during this period. , as for the third level, he basically doesn’t bother much and just lets his subordinates do it themselves. At his level, there are no one knows how many companies with hundreds of millions in scale but cannot reach his level of vision. This is normal. , I have to worry about it all, but Li Jiacheng in the original history basically only took care of the core business after the 1990s. He was once included in a biography because he paid attention to a toy industrial park with an investment of more than 1 billion. People find it incredible.

The time will soon come to May 6th.

During dinner, Liu Xiaoli suddenly felt something abnormal in her stomach and had a numb feeling. Fortunately, there were two professional obstetricians around her at any time. They were very experienced and judged that she might be about to give birth, so everyone threw their lunch aside. , and quickly went to the building next to the hospital.

The professional midwifery team had already been prepared. After receiving the news, they immediately sent the person into the ward. Even though the Chen family was extremely powerful in Hong Kong, they had to listen to the doctor and wait outside obediently.

After an hour, there was still no movement inside. Wu Xiuling said anxiously: "Why is it so slow?"

"Ms. Wu, your daughter-in-law gave birth to twins, and they were delivered naturally. Some people can see this very quickly, and some people may need a little time. You should wait for a while with peace of mind." The accompanying doctor explained that the Chen family All the best doctors came here. Even the dean, who had already got off work, rushed over from home. Although it was of no use for him to come here, his boss was waiting, so he could only accompany him.

"Well, okay, thank you doctor." Wu Xiuling replied politely, knowing that she might have been a little too hasty.

"Sit here for a while." Chen Tianfu said. He was also a little impatient, but he also knew that it was useless to be impatient, so he just had to wait patiently.

Wu Xiuling could only sit down after hearing this. Chen Zhiwen remained silent at the side. He also knew that it was useless to be anxious outside.

After a while, it was completely dark.

"Click." The door of the delivery room made a slight sound, and then slowly opened. A nurse came out, came to Chen Zhiwen's side and said, "Hello, Mr. Chen, my wife has given birth to twins. It's a boy and girl. You and your Family members can go in and have a look, but the sound should not be too loud, so as not to disturb the child and the mother while they are resting."
