Chapter 437 You have to be strong enough
"Old Director, you can do it at this speed! According to this situation, I estimate that the airport will be completed by the end of the year at the latest." In front of the already built terminal, Li Wen looked at the busy construction site in the distance and said with satisfaction.
The place where Li Wen is now is the location of the later Hong Kong International Airport. Yes, Li Wen bought Chek Lap Kok.
To be honest, in this era, this place is equivalent to other areas in Hong Kong. It is a place where birds don't shit. Moreover, the area is small and mountainous, which is not conducive to development.
In order to buy this place, Li Wen spent a full billion U.S. dollars, and this was just because he bribed the ghost guy, otherwise it would not be possible to buy it.
In fact, you can't say you bought it. This place belongs to the New Territories. Strictly speaking, it was leased by the ghost guy, and the ghost guy can only buy and sell it within his own authority.
Moreover, Li Wen needs to coordinate well with the local residents and handle the property rights issue, because a lot of the land here belongs to the local residents themselves, and the Guilao government cannot interfere.
Of course, none of this is a problem to Li Wen. In Li Wen's view, as long as he doesn't compete with those in power, other problems are just minor problems. They are nothing more than overpaying for benefits and will not affect the company's operations.
For ordinary people in Chek Lap Kok, wandering on the sea all day, fishing and making ends meet is really precarious.
Although Li Wen bought the land that they could not cultivate, he provided them with stable jobs. For these aborigines who had no tomorrow, this was pie in the sky.
"Mr. Li, due to financial and turbulent reasons, the construction industry has been in recession in recent years. Many construction companies are staying at home! As long as we give money, these hard-working people have to work hard." The person responsible for monitoring the airport
Dong Yuhui, general manager of the airline, replied with a smile.
"Manager Dong, we can look down on those talkative contractors, but we still have to show a certain amount of respect to ordinary workers. We should try to say as little as possible like this in the future." Li Wen frowned when he heard this.
Dong Yuhui's words just now brought back memories of Li Wen's previous life, making him feel uncomfortable.
Li Wen's father was a construction worker in his previous life. Although the old man was not very good, he raised his three sisters by carrying bricks and also supported them in college.
Until Li Wen traveled through time, his father, who was in his fifties, still had not retired, dragging his ailing body all day long to earn money for Li Wen's wife.
Although Li Wen sometimes complained that his father had a bad temper and often quarreled with his mother, he also knew that no one was perfect. At the very least, his father's devotion to Li Wen was unreserved.
"Look at what I said, I'm really sorry, Mr. Li. I grew up in an ordinary family, so I just said it casually." Who can reach the level of a CEO who doesn't know what to say? Dong Yuhui quickly admitted his mistake.
"Well! Be careful in the future. You must know that as the leader of the company, everything you say and do represents the image of the company.
You can tarnish yourself, but you can't tarnish the company's image. As for the company's image, I can't tolerate a grain of sand in my eyes. Do you understand?
Also, please go ahead and treat the workers of other construction companies the same as our Daqin Real Estate. They must treat them equally, raise food standards, and ensure that workers have meat to eat every day." Li Wen looked at the shirtless workers working hard, and his heart was aroused.
A burst of memories.
"I understand, I understand!"
Dong Yuhui quickly took out a small notebook and wrote it down.
After going around in a circle, Li Wen was a little dissatisfied with the originally designed airport. The reason was that it was too small and would embarrass future generations of Hong Kong International Airport.
"Old Dong, you go down and contact other construction companies and ask the design company to redesign it and bulldoze all these small hills and hills.
Since we want to do something, we must do our best and strive to become the largest airport in Hong Kong.
Also, the area of Chek Lap Kok is too small. If we continue to develop in the future, this place will not be enough for us. We will contact the shipbuilding companies of Bangziguo and Xiaori to purchase some reclamation equipment and jump into the sea."
Li Wen is planning to follow the path of Hong Kong Airport in later generations.
After listening to Li Wen's heroic words, the old director was a little confused for a moment.
You know, from last year to now, more than one billion U.S. dollars have been invested in Chek Lap Kok, but so far it has not returned any blood.
Moreover, the cost of reclamation is already gone. Chek Lap Kok is not the main island or Kowloon Bay. Every inch of land is precious, so reclamation is more cost-effective. Reclamation here is not worth the gain!
If Li Wen heard Dong Yuhui's inner thoughts at this time, he would just laugh.
Both of his groups are cash flow companies. They have so much money in their hands. If they don't spend it, it will become less and less valuable in their hands.
You know, a billion dollars in the 1960s and a billion dollars in the 1970s are completely different concepts.
In the second half of this year, after the U.S. dollar and gold are dragged together, the U.S. dollar will change from U.S. dollar to U.S. dollar, and its depreciation will be described as plummeting.
Therefore, starting from this year, Li Wen will also change the previous model of how much money can be used to do a big business, and start to use capital to leverage one dollar to make more money.
Because, in the next half century, money will become less and less valuable. Putting money in your hands will only become less and less valuable.
Just like the 10,000-yuan household in China in the 1980s and 1990s, it is simply a joke for you to save money until the 21st century. The news of later generations will often expose such sad deposit certificates, and even save, save, money
Funny events that are gone.
Inspecting the completion site, Li Wen came to the completed first-phase terminal airport. At this time, there were four Gulfstream business jets and two medium and large passenger planes on the tarmac.
"Old Dong, are there many flights flying now? Why are most of the planes sitting idle?" Li Wen was a little unhappy.
Li Wen ordered a lot of planes, but only eight were delivered in total. Counting his own cars, most of them are still on the tarmac. It's strange that Li Wen is happy.
"Chairman, our airport has just opened, and with Kadoorie's price suppression at the airport, there are not many customers yet.
Of course, these are all minor problems. The most important thing is that our airport is a bit far from the main island and the ferry is too slow." Dong Yuhui saw Li Wen's dark expression and answered cautiously.
"Old Dong, you are such a pig-headed person! Can ordinary people take the plane? The airport is only for the rich, so you must get there if you are serious.
You can book several helicopters and cruise ships. Direct helicopter transfers from charter flights provide one-stop service; direct cruise transfers by passenger planes, you can go wherever you want. I still don’t believe it. I can’t conquer these things.
People." Li Wen said disdainfully.
"My dear mother! Is this still taking a plane? This is simply a pleasure."
Dong Yuhui's ancestral home is from the Central Plains. When he heard Li Wen's arrangement, he immediately started speaking his native dialect.
"Hmph! As the boss of the company, the situation will have to open up in the future. Investing billions of dollars in the company will not make you three melons and two dates. If you have to be strong, making money from rich people is the way to go." Li Wen said dissatisfied.
"Yes, Chairman, I will try to be on par with you in the future." Dong Yuhui quickly patted his chest and promised.
Chapter completed!
