The crowd followed village chief Wang Weisheng and circled around Hangtou Village, and then to the Tin Shuiwei area, which made Village Chief Liu very anxious.
"Zhang Sheng, after our inspection, we feel that Tianshuiwei is the most suitable. It is blocked by hills on three sides, which can more effectively prevent the spread of the plague. However, the area here is too big."
Xie Jiamin, the person in charge of Zhengda, said.
"Village Chief Wang, how big is the total area of Tian Shui Wai?"
Zhang Zhonghua asked Wang Weisheng.
"Tian Shui Wai has about 4,000 acres. There are two villages here, and there are about five to six thousand people in total. If you want to get the land, you probably need to take it all. After all, this chicken farm..."
Wang Weisheng wanted to persuade Zhang Zhonghua that young people should not be too ambitious. Although Tianshuiwei is not a fool, he also inquired about the CFC restaurant, which is very powerful.
But if we want to take over Tin Shui Wai as a whole and relocate the residents, we won't be able to get it without HK$30 million. Although CFC Restaurant is strong, we probably won't be able to get HK$30 million at once.
You must acquire all the land here. After all, no one wants to have a chicken farm near their home. The smell of the chicken farm is too strong and it is impossible for people to live nearby.
Zhang Zhonghua also sighed deeply when he looked at Tian Shui Wai. Thinking about the need for 30 million Hong Kong dollars, he felt a little overwhelmed!
"Zhang Sheng, do you want to take it? If you don't, then our Chia Tai Group will take action."
Xie Jiamin said to Zhang Zhonghua with a smile.
He came to Tianshuiwei for an inspection and found that this place is indeed good, with a good environment and a small population. Of course, the infrastructure is a bit poor, but since the land worth 30 million yuan has been acquired, there is no need to spend hundreds of thousands more to build infrastructure.
Zhang Zhonghua calculated that it would take at least 28 million to get it here, which also involves demolition. I am afraid that 30 million is not enough, but it is impossible not to get it. It is better to fall into his own hands than to fall into the hands of the CP Group.
If it doesn't work out, use the CFC restaurant as collateral for a loan, and then borrow some from Uncle Lou.
"Yes, of course I do. Since we have taken the land, we must take it all."
After Zhang Zhonghua made up his mind, he said categorically that the land should be taken down first and then built in batches. In the future, not only chickens but also other livestock could be raised to supply Hong Kong Island.
"Zhang Sheng, then you don't want the land in our village?"
When Wang Weisheng heard that Zhang Zhonghua wanted the land in Tianshuiwei, he was a little disappointed and asked Zhang Zhonghua, "You came to see our village, why did you not want the land in our village in the end?"
"Village Chief Wang, don't worry. Some supporting facilities will definitely be built there by then. At least a road will be built to get there. It will still require some land, and I promise that your work will continue as before."
Zhang Zhonghua reassured Wang Weisheng that after all, he suddenly decided not to want their land, which was indeed a bit embarrassing.
The village accountant who came with Wang Weisheng was extremely helpless at Wang Weisheng's words.
"Look, Wang, Zhang Sheng is right. Our neighborhood will also follow suit. As the area develops, our village's income will also increase. This is far better than a one-time deal."
Xie Jiamin, the person in charge of Zhengda, was helpless about Zhang Zhonghua's decision to take over the land in Tianshuiwei. He really took a fancy to this land, but Zhang Zhonghua did, and he had no choice.
This time the Charoen Pokphand Group wants to expand its business on Hong Kong Island, and there is no need to conflict with CFC Restaurant. He has learned about CFC Restaurant in advance and has great potential, and can become an important partner of Charoen Pokphand Group in the future.
"Well, since Zhang Sheng has decided to take over Tianshuiwei, we at Zhengda Group will not compete with you. I will lead people to continue to inspect the area to see if there is any suitable place. The environment here is indeed good. In the future we will also
We want to be neighbors.”
Xie Jiamin looked at Zhang Zhonghua, a young man in his early twenties, and couldn't help but admire him. He is so courageous at such a young age, and his future is limitless.
"It is our honor to be neighbors with the Chia Tai Group. We will still need your care from the Chia Tai Group in the future."
Zhang Zhonghua said with a smile that if the Chia Tai Group also builds a factory nearby, it would be great news for CFC. It would be much easier for him to find Chia Tai for help in the future.
As for competition? With my small arms and legs, I can’t compete with the CP Group. At least in a short period of time, there will be no competition.
"This is what it should be. You will also be our Zhengda customer from now on, and everyone is Chinese and should help each other."
Xie Jiamin said to Zhang Zhonghua with a smile.
Then Zhengda set his sights on a 3,000-acre village on the other side of the mountain, not far from Tianshuiwei, and his two families were officially neighbors.
"Sir Xie, our family must obtain approval from the Hong Kong government to acquire such a large piece of land, and if the Hong Kong government can fund road construction, it will save us a lot of trouble. At least we need to obtain permission for road construction and dock construction.
"
Zhang Zhonghua said.
This requires the efforts of Zhengda. Your reputation in Thailand is very good, and it will be easy to use in Hong Kong Island. At least it will be much better than our own CFC restaurant.
"Yes, let's do this. We will go to the Hong Kong Governor's Office to meet the Hong Kong Governor in three days. I also need to report today's situation to the headquarters."
Xie Jiamin said cheerfully.
"Okay, then I'll trouble you Xie Sheng."
Zhang Zhonghua said to Xie Jiamin.
The Chia Tai Group went with them to see the Hong Kong Governor Zhang Zhonghua, but what they wanted was what they wanted. It would be no problem for them to get hundreds or even thousands of acres of land, but if it involved the relocation of the entire village, they would not have the ability to convince the Hong Kong Governor to support them.
Zhang Zhonghua found Yu Zhisan, the head of the village that needed to be relocated, and prepared to negotiate the price. As long as the money was in place, it would not be a problem. After all, no one wanted to leave this ghost place of Tin Shui Wai.
"What? Zhang Sheng, you want to take over the entire Tianshuiwei area?"
Yu Zhisan asked in surprise, wondering in his mind that Tian Shuiwei, a place that was so quiet, had become so popular that someone actually wanted to take it all down.
"Yes, Village Chief Yu, I plan to build a large-scale breeding farm here. Although transportation, water and electricity are not very convenient here in Tin Shui Wai, the environment here is very good.
But the smell of the breeding farms is quite strong, and I am worried that establishing a breeding farm here will definitely encounter opposition from nearby villagers, so I can only take them all down and move the villagers away."
Zhang Zhonghua explained to Yu Zhisan.
"Well, the relocation of so many villagers is indeed a big problem. There will definitely be many villagers who are unwilling to leave this land. After all, with land, no matter how poor you are, you will not starve to death."
Yu Zhisan also said worriedly.
"I can get 100 acres of land in Kengkou Village. It's not too far away for everyone to move there. In the future, when the breeding farm is built, many villagers will be recruited to work nearby."
"Then how are you going to calculate the price of this land?"
Yu Zhisan asked, selling land is an opportunity to make a fortune. No one wanted to sell it before. If the land in the village is sold this time, Nakori will make a fortune. By then, every family in the village will be worth ten thousand yuan.
"My original plan was to buy the land in Hangkou Village. Let's have the same price as the land in Hangkou Village. HKD 1 per foot is HKD 7,200 per acre. What does Village Chief Yu think of this price?"
Zhang Zhonghua said to Yu Zhisan.
"I still need to convene a meeting with the villagers to discuss this. Apart from the land, there are some broken houses here, and there is nothing valuable. One Hong Kong dollar per foot should be acceptable to the villagers."
Xu Zhisan's face was full of excitement. He was originally afraid that Zhang Zhonghua would lower the price too much, but now all he can think about is getting rich, and the village is full of rich people.
It’s no wonder that Yu Zhisan was so excited. Of course, the land is worth more than one Hong Kong dollar per foot, but how much it’s worth and how much it’s sold for are two different concepts. No matter how valuable it is, it’s useless if it can’t be sold.
That afternoon, Zhang Zhonghua and Xie Jiamin both negotiated with the villagers on the land they were interested in, and smiled at each other after meeting.
Things are going very smoothly. The villagers are happy to move to Hangkou Village. They have jobs and money and the place of relocation is not far from me. What else is there to be dissatisfied about?
Of course, in addition to the land purchase price for the resettlement site, Zhang Zhonghua and Xie Jiamin also gave each household a symbolic subsidy of 200 Hong Kong dollars to build a house.
Many villagers' houses here are still made of adobe and wood. They can be rebuilt using local materials. It doesn't cost much or even no money to rebuild the houses.
The two made an appointment to meet with the Governor of Hong Kong three days later, and then went about their own business. The Hong Kong Government must have contributed to this matter. After all, it was an investment in building a factory. At least a line would be built to build a substation. If the Government of Hong Kong
It would be perfect if roads and docks were also built, but it's hard to say.
Returning to Deep Water Bay Villa in the evening, Zhang Zhonghua had breakfast and talked about today's events while taking a walk with Lou Zhenhua.
"4,000 acres of land requires close to 30 million Hong Kong dollars. This is not a small number. I can free up several million. And there are construction costs. Even if the breeding farm is built in batches, it will still require a lot of funds.
"
Lou's father was a little speechless at Zhang Zhonghua's long strides. He was not afraid of embarrassing Dan with such a long stride.
The things this kid is doing are getting bigger and bigger. He dares to spend 30 million Hong Kong dollars to acquire land. It is too cruel. I am afraid that he will surpass his own company in a few years.
"Uncle Lou, I don't need your money this time. I have less than 20 million Hong Kong dollars now. I plan to use the CFC restaurant as a mortgage to get a loan from the bank. When I buy the land, I will also mortgage the 4,000 acres of land for construction.
The financial problem is not that big.”
Zhang Zhonghua said.
"That's fine. Your CFC restaurant's profitability is obvious to all, and its repayment ability is sufficient. It's not a big problem to borrow 10 or 20 million Hong Kong dollars from the bank. However, it's hard to get these four thousand acres of land, right?
"
Father Lou said to Zhang Zhonghua with some envy and some worry.
"It will definitely not be that easy to get the land this time. It will definitely require the approval of the Hong Kong Governor's Government. But with the help of CP Group, there should be no problem."
Zhang Zhonghua said with a smile.
"What is the origin of this Charoen Pokphand Group from Thailand?"
Lou's father was a little curious about Zhengda Group's ability to persuade the Hong Kong Governor's Office and asked.
"CP Group has a history of more than 40 years and almost 50 years. They should be the richest man in Thailand now, and also ranked among the Chinese families in the world. This time they want to enter the Hong Kong Island market. I
Just got a ride!"
Zhang Zhonghua briefly introduced the situation of Zhengda Group to Lou Zhenhua.
Zhang Zhonghua followed Xie Jiamin to the Taipingshan residence of Hong Kong Governor Dai Linchi. Under the leadership of the servants of the mansion, the two entered the study and met the Indian-origin Hong Kong Governor Dai Linchi.
Darlington is of Indian origin and a senior British colonial official who served as the Governor of Hong Kong Island from 1964 to 1971. During his tenure as Governor of Hong Kong, he made considerable contributions to the discovery of Hong Kong Island, such as launching a series of measures to improve people's livelihood, such as developing infrastructure,
Six years of compulsory primary education, construction of low-rent housing, vigorous development of transportation networks, etc. can be regarded as outstanding achievements.
However, Tai Linche, the governor of Hong Kong, was also very unlucky. Naturally, many things happened during his term of office, which affected some places. He was innocently shot.
Lung Cheung Road and Shing Cheung Road, the Lion Rock Tunnel, the construction of reservoirs in many places, etc., as well as the Hung Hom Cross-Harbour Tunnel that is about to be built, are also the work of this governor.
As for problems such as widespread corruption in various departments and rampant social groups, these are also trends that have been formed over decades and cannot be solved by him as the governor of Hong Kong.
It was only after the establishment of the Independent Commission Against Corruption on Hong Kong Island in 1974 that these problems were gradually eliminated.
"Mr. Xie, welcome, please take a seat." Governor Dai Linzhi smiled and asked the two of them to sit down.
Zhang Zhonghua didn't think anything of the Hong Kong governor's disregard. He had no money, no status, no fame and was still so young. Moreover, he had come with Xie Jiamin, so it was normal for him to be ignored as a follower.
"Dear Mr. Governor, this is Zhang Zhonghua, the general manager of CFC Restaurant. His English is very good. The three of us can communicate in English."
Xie Jiamin said hello to Dai Linzhi and then introduced Zhang Zhonghua.
"Dear Mr. Governor, I am Zhang Zhonghua, the general manager of CFC Restaurant."
Zhang Zhonghua introduced that although his company is relatively well-known in Hong Kong Island, it is nothing to the eyes of the Hong Kong Governor.
"Hao Zhang Sheng, I have heard about the CFC restaurant. It is very good. It provides free drinking water and heating services to the grassroots workers on Hong Kong Island. On behalf of the grassroots workers on Hong Kong Island, I would like to express my gratitude to you."
Governor Dai Linzhi looked at it in surprise and then praised it, saying that he had heard of the CFC restaurant. Although it was not in his eyes, it had huge potential.
"Our CFC restaurant will always provide convenient services to the newly arrived grassroots staff and the general public of Hong Kong Island."
Zhang Zhonghua said to the Hong Kong Governor very respectfully.
"Okay, Xie Sheng and Zhang Sheng, you two are here today. What do you want to do?"
CFC Restaurant in Hong Kong came to Hong Kong together with Charoen Pokphand Group in Thailand. It feels a bit strange that the two are not next to each other at all.
"Both our CP Group and Mr. Zhang are planning to build a large-scale breeding farm in Tin Shui Wai, Yuen Long. Mr. Zhang is interested in a 4,000-acre piece of land in Tin Shui Wai, and our CP Group is also interested in a 3,000-acre piece of land next to it.
The purchase of land involves the relocation of local villagers, so I came to seek help from the governor. At the same time, our two companies will solve the work and residence problems of nearby villagers."
Xie Jiamin explained to Dai Linzhi the purpose of their visit.
Two large farms can provide at least 10,000 jobs, and are also a considerable source of tax revenue.
"There is no problem with this. Our Hong Kong Governor's Government is very supportive of your investment in the Yuen Long area. What kind of help do you need from the Hong Kong Government?"
