I have a family in the courtyard, the spring breeze is proud of the horse's hoof disease, I don't believe there is separation in the world, Chapter 353, three things. When Alex and the others fell into civil strife, Zhou Jimin was in retreat doing scientific research.
The Underground New World project was rejected, so he could only divert his attention and concentrate on scientific research.
Making a lot of money by running a business empire is just the spice of daily life.
In Oasis New City, Satellite Research Institute, a meeting is taking place in the conference room.
After hearing Zhou Jimin's words, everyone present at the meeting became excited.
Throughout 1967, many satellites have been launched, and their research institute has gained a lot of experience in satellite launches.
According to Zhou Jimin, if we prepare for another year next year, we can arrange for the launch of manned spaceflight the year after that.
In other words, next year will be the starting year for the manned spaceflight project, and the year after that will be the first year of manned spaceflight.
The four words manned spaceflight have great appeal to everyone.
In 1961, polar bear astronaut Gagarin had already gone to space for more than an hour.
Later, the bald eagle also sent its own astronauts into space.
Zeng Qingfeng and others also hope to build a manned satellite or spacecraft to travel into space.
However, the difficulty level of ordinary satellite rockets is already so high, and manned spaceflight will only be even higher.
After hearing Zhou Jimin's appointment of the project leader, everyone subconsciously sat up straight.
Tang Ping, Mei Lijun, and Lin Guochuan are not from Oasis New City, but leaders who have just joined this manned spaceflight project.
They will not interfere with the scientific research of the project, but will be responsible for the logistics.
Everyone who participated in the meeting took notes and listened carefully.
The five test spacecraft surprised Tang Ping and other leaders, but they were not professionals, so they did not say anything.
Zeng Qingfeng and the others didn't say anything because they admired Zhou Jimin very much and everything he decided was correct.
Anyway, from the establishment of Oasis New City to the present, there has been no mistake, not even once.
The second half of the meeting was devoted to discussions on the construction of experimental spacecraft, rocket launches, and related test tasks.
In fact, the entire manned space project has been clearly written in the previous project plan, which includes a detailed report on the test spacecraft in the first project phase.
What is discussed now is just a supplementary explanation for this report.
The entire meeting lasted for a week, because it required a lot of data calculations, technical discussions, etc., which was quite complicated.
Even Zhou Jimin, the general manager, is too busy to keep his feet off the ground.
Fortunately, after the meeting, the other nine people in charge have clearly understood the parts they are responsible for, and the next step is to start advancing the project according to the plan.
After getting some rest, Zhou Jimin immediately went to the southern island for vacation.
He did not deal with the Bald Eagle matter, nor was he in a hurry to deal with it.
The game console factory here on the island is still working overtime. Many game consoles are produced every day and then shipped away by Xinghai Trading Company every week.
[An app that has been running stably for many years, comparable to the old book-chasing tool, used by all old bookworms
Tesco, Costco, gaming companies, etc., after all, this is a very important transportation task, and it is also quite profitable, so naturally it is impossible to do it by others.
A game console that costs US$3,666 only costs more than US$900, so the profit is not low.
The same goes for PHS mobile phones, and the sales data of PHS mobile phones are even more gratifying.
Therefore, what Xinghai Trading Company transports is money, which is the lifeline of these companies.
In the future, when the business territory becomes larger and larger, the importance of Xinghai Trading Company will become more obvious.
During his vacation, he checked the operations of Game Factory, Apple Daily, Qihang Publishing House and other companies. Zhou Jimin didn’t feel very busy anymore.
Business and scientific research are two completely different things.
Business matters are actually not too complicated. After all, he has always focused on dimensionality reduction. It is actually very difficult for competitors to surpass him.
Again, I only need to make a slight move, which is the limit of this segment.
Prince's Building, on this day, Zhou Jimin came here.
The advisory group works here, and several investment departments are also here.
Zhou Jimin walked around the office and shouted directly.
Behind them, Xu Mei and Guan Ling also walked into the conference room.
In fact, as early as when he established Qihang Publishing House, comic company, and music company, Zhou Jimin had thought about setting up a toy factory to sell peripheral toys.
After all, for many characters in comic companies, toys, dolls and other peripheral products are definitely the most profitable.
Comics like Transformers are already so good, wouldn’t toys and figures be even better?
If peripheral products like this were produced, the market would be absolutely booming.
However, at that time, Zhou Jimin did not have much energy.
Moreover, Oasis New Town did not need to burn so much money at that time. The town was still kept secret at that time, so there was no need to bother.
It’s different now, but it’s not a big problem no matter how hard you try.
There are many toy factories in the southern island. Although they are all very low-end toy factories, it doesn't matter. As long as the factory is in a good location and the workers are skilled, Zhou Jimin will not let them go.
Direct acquisition will save a lot of things.
Ji Zhengxiong, the head of the advisory group, quickly said:
Zhou Jimin took the document and opened it, and Ji Zhengxiong's voice echoed in the conference room.
There are five toy factories, two of which are in the Shatin area, one is in Kowloon, and the remaining two are in Tsuen Wan.
It’s not a particularly good location, but it’s pretty good.
The information was thrown on the table, Zhou Jimin said:
What I like to build the most in the future is the headquarters building. This is the trend.
What's more, setting up a headquarters building is indeed conducive to management.
After thinking for a while, he then asked:
This question immediately confused Ji Zhengxiong, and other members of the advisory group were also stunned.
Seeing that no one answered the question, Zhou Jimin's expression turned cold and he said:
The temperature in the conference room dropped to freezing point, and no one dared to take a breath.
Xu Mei and Guan Ling were also sitting upright, and they were actually very surprised: Is Jimin trying to make excuses?
In their opinion, Zhou Jimin's move should have a deeper purpose, not just to establish majesty.
At this moment, in the corner of the conference room, a pretty young girl suddenly raised her hand and said weakly:
Bang bang!
Zhou Jimin smiled and clapped, making the beautiful girl blush immediately.
In the conference room, Ji Zhengxiong and the others all applauded, with cold sweat dripping from their backs.
Fortunately, thanks to Yang Siqi, a graduate of the University of Hong Kong, today, otherwise, the advisory group would have lost all face.
After it calmed down, Zhou Jimin asked with a smile, and Yang Siqi quickly answered.
It was Guan Ling who recruited her, mainly because Yang Siqi's diploma is very good and her abilities are also very good, so she is worth cultivating.
Zhou Jimin nodded and continued:
The four words employee care are actually very common in many large groups in later generations.
This reflects the connotation of a large group company and the implementation of corporate culture, which is of great help to corporate management.
Yang Siqi was dumbfounded. Although she was promoted, she felt that she couldn't do it because she had never done it and never heard of it.
Ji Zhengxiong and the others didn't think it was a big deal. It was normal to get promoted. After all, if the boss thinks you can do it, then you can do it.
Yang Siqi gritted his teeth and said seriously.
Zhou Jimin nodded appreciatively and then said:
The property market on the southern island experiences a shock every five years.
In the spring of 1965, a bank credit crisis broke out on the island. Then real estate prices plummeted and many real estate companies went bankrupt. The real estate industry in Hong Kong fell into the first major crisis after the war.
The real estate market will not recover until 1969.
Therefore, purchasing land at this time, whether it is industrial land or commercial land, is very cheap.
Not to mention that Tsuen Wan, a place far away from the city, is even cheaper.
In fact, the opening of toy factories in these places is a signal in itself.
Because toy factories during this period were not very profitable, they could only build factories in places where land was cheap.
However, Yang Siqi sounded weird. The land on the island is not expensive now?
Well, in her opinion it is very expensive.
Looking around the world, there are not many places where land prices are more expensive than on small islands.
Yang Siqi has been to places such as Great Britain and Bald Eagle and found that their factories are all built in the suburbs and the land prices are very cheap.
She is a graduate of the University of Hong Kong, but she is not a nerd.
On the contrary, she likes to observe, take notes and make comparisons.
Because her family has been poor since she was a child, she likes to study these things.
However, her parents didn't want her to do business, so she still went to work in a big company or as a lawyer, doctor, etc.
After all, the island in the 1960s was actually really
It's quite messy.
Ji Zhengxiong nodded and said, while Zhou Jimin pointed at Yang Siqi and said:
The former immediately lowered his head and admitted his mistake with a guilty face, and his back was already soaked.
Yang Siqi, on the other hand, was terrified and kept speaking modestly.
After beating Ji Zhengxiong for a while, Zhou Jimin continued:
Yonggao Company is a bald eagle company, and it doesn't have anything good to say. What Zhou Jimin is interested in is a property owned by this company.
This property is the Hilton Hotel Tower, located at the intersection of Garden Road and Queen's Road Central, with HSBC Bank nearby.
Who wouldn’t want such a feng shui treasure?
Some things that happened on the island this year caused many foreign investors to withdraw from the island. It was simply a God-given opportunity.
Therefore, Zhou Jimin saw the right moment and took action, but it was not that easy to win this property.
Ji Zhengxiong's words left Zhou Jimin speechless.
However, the former is not wrong either.
The quotation quoted by Yonggao Company is indeed exaggerated and higher than the market price.
This is normal. Who knows that the property in this building is located in the center of Central? This place is a super Feng Shui treasure.
Many people in later generations have spread rumors that Li Ka-shing, who chose this address as the headquarters building of Cheung Kong Industries, believed in Feng Shui very much, so he invited his royal Feng Shui master to lead the Feng Shui design of the building.
It is these Feng Shui designs that make the Li family's wealth last long.
Zhou Jimin doesn't really believe in these Feng Shui things. He can only say that those people are very capable of making things up.
If Feng Shui treasure land is really useful, then his second son will not be teased thousands of times about investing in Tencent.
Almost many investment masters particularly like to use the incident of Mr. Li as negative teaching material.
Zhou Jimin even heard that he used his deceased wife's grave to build a Feng Shui bureau to lock his luck, suppress his deceased wife, and pass on the Li family's wealth from generation to generation.
I have to say that those people are serious about what they say, and ordinary people are really easily fooled.
In any case, whether looking at it now or in the future, the current Hilton Hotel has a unique location and is indeed a rare investment.
Ji Zhengxiong said that Hilton Hotel is a global asset-light group, so it has signed many overbearing terms with Yonggao Company.
If the hotel makes a profit, Yonggao Company, as the owner, will also receive dividends. If it loses money, Yonggao Company will also have to lose money.
This contract clause is a big pitfall!
Otherwise, a lot of capital will take advantage of this good opportunity to acquire this property.
Therefore, let alone 50 million U.S. dollars, even if it is 20 million U.S. dollars, you cannot buy it.
Hearing Zhou Jimin's words, Ji Zhengxiong and the others all became short of breath.
The temptation of a hundred thousand dollars!
Although it is very difficult to negotiate this project, it doesn't matter. As long as you work hard, there is nothing impossible.
Just like what Ji Zhengxiong said just now, it can be used as a negotiation point to persuade Yonggao Company to lower its price.
If you want a horse to run, you must feed it.
Zhou Jimin naturally understands such a simple truth.
After acquiring this property, you can directly build a property in the future
in his own headquarters building.
Other places are difficult to get to and the location is not good enough.
Zhou Jimin also wants to build a technological cyberport on the island in the future, but he has to wait a little longer.
Hualong Bank is a family bank on the island. It was originally an asset of the local Lin family, but after World War II, it was acquired by foreign investors.
After more than 20 years of development, Hualong Bank is still half-dead.
Foreign capital left the island, and Zhou Jimin happened to want to acquire a bank to serve as his settlement center on the island.
Therefore, we contacted foreign investors and started acquisition negotiations.
However, foreign investors are obviously very open-minded, so they have been busy for a long time.
The subsequent negotiations were all followed up by Ji Zhengxiong and the others. Zhou Jimin only looked at the results.
Before Ji Zhengxiong could finish speaking, Zhou Jimin interrupted:
Hiss!
Ji Zhengxiong and the others took a breath of cold air. They didn't expect that their boss's journey would be like the stars and the sea. They were too superficial.
Hualong Bank asked for 40 million, which was actually not expensive.
Indeed, if one goes by what Zhou Jimin said, Hualong Bank will open to Great Britain, Bald Eagle and other places in the future. On the one hand, it will serve as a settlement center for many industries, and on the other hand, it will attract funds and make money.
