The property market in Xiangjiang is sluggish. Although prices have remained steadily high, the transaction volume has been shrinking day by day, and recently hit a 17-month low. To make matters worse, Li Ka-shing, who single-handedly pushed the property market in Hong Kong to its peak, is gradually selling off
Cash out the property in hand.
This foresighted initiator has already smelled the danger signal. How could other real estate developers not notice it?
Once interest rates return to normal, Hong Kong's property market will inevitably suffer unimaginable pressure, and it is not even ruled out that a collapse like the one in 1997 will occur.
The bubble economy spawned by crazy building construction has tightened the capital chain of every real estate company, and Nan Fung Real Estate is no exception.
That office building in Kowloon cost 1.2 billion Hong Kong dollars. Logically speaking, it would be no problem to sell it for 3 billion. But for Chen Wei, who was eager to spend money and relieve financial pressure, he couldn't wait any longer.
It is true that he is not a serious businessman, but with the increasing improvement of the legal system and enforcement, basically most of his property has been laundered.
Zhu Tian's purchase of this building undoubtedly gave him a breath of relief.
After the deal was concluded, Chen Wei was naturally very happy and enthusiastically expressed his intention to treat him to dinner.
Zhu Tian did not refuse and went to the restaurant on the 28th floor with him.
At the dinner table, the two of them were chatting familiarly about their experiences and experiences during their travels.
...
The two days of leisure time have ended, and even Zhu Tian, who has always been indifferent, is busy with the company's affairs.
Although his workload has been reduced a lot with Xia Yuhe's help, there are still many things that he has to do himself.
First of all, Daming International was registered in New Zealand and is 100% controlled by Zhu Tian.
There is an advantage to registering an offshore company in New Zealand, that is, as long as the profits are not generated locally, you only need to pay the annual review fee. You can make a legal zero declaration, no audit is required, and the follow-up operations are also very simple. However, the registration fee is now compared to that in
The company registration fee in Xiangjiang is slightly higher, but the annual review fees in the future are similar to those in Xiangjiang. The bank where the account is opened will have search fees, but these are only a one-time charge.
As the parent company, Daming International quickly completed its control of 99% of Daming Technology's shares. At this point, Daming Technology became a subsidiary of Daming International, and was operated by CEO Xia Yuhe.
At the same time, under Xia Yuhe's suggestion, Daming Technology split its business. The global business was divided into several major areas, namely China, Southeast Asia, Russia, EU, Arabia, North America, South America, etc.
etc. And we have set up branches in each business area to take charge of the business in each area.
Of course, the amount of work involved in splitting this business was huge, and for a time Daming Technology’s talent pool was somewhat in short supply.
Zhu Tian's solution to this problem is also very simple and crude, that is, throw money at it!
High salary, high benefits, hiring headhunting companies to poach people from all over the world, and using money to build a talent team. Compared with Daming Technology's low cost and high profitability, this level of effort is simply a drop in the bucket.
For those technical talents, finding a job at Daming Technology is a very attractive thing in itself, and the discovery of talents can be completed without much resistance.
After completing these matters, Daming Technology's China business headquarters moved to Xiangjiang under the command of Xia Yuhe.
At this point, Daming Technology has created no less than 2 billion in tax revenue every year, and has completely said goodbye to the local government of Shanghai and Hainan.
Although the mayor of Shanghai personally spoke to Zhu Tian on the phone and expressed his apology and apology tactfully and sincerely,
Zhu Tian's attitude still did not change at all.
What's the saying? You don't know how valuable something is until you lose it.
From the moment the Wang family regarded Daming Technology as a partner, he should have considered that such a day would come.
...
Koro Island is located at the southernmost tip of the Palau Islands and is the main island. To the northwest is the Philippines, to the southwest is New Guinea and Australia, and to the due south is New Zealand.
The country's only airport is located here, and at the southernmost tip of the island is the country's only deep-water port - built by Daming Trading International at a cost of millions of dollars.
Generally speaking, such large deep-water ports will be surrounded by a circle of manufacturing factories. However, for the Palau Islands, whose economy is based on fishing and plantation, this common sense obviously does not apply.
Next to this deep-water port, three warehouses stand alone.
A brown-skinned local man was squatting beside the outermost warehouse, holding sugar cane in his mouth, looking at the door.
His name is Kasan, and he is an aborigine from the Palau Islands. Although he does not have a high degree of education, he can still do the job of a janitor. His job every day is to squat at the door of the warehouse and watch the phone. Occasionally, he needs to unload the goods.
Give me a hand and chew sugar cane when you are bored.
Seeing a car parked at the door, the young man glanced at it enviously, immediately dropped the sugar cane in his hand and rushed towards it.
"Hey, boss, what brought you here?"
Zhu Tian arrived in the Palau Islands two days ago, but he has been busy with other things, so he has not come to the warehouse to see it. Kasan was also very surprised to see the boss coming in person.
"It's nothing, just help me open the warehouse door."
"Yes, yes!" Kasan nodded and bowed in response, quickly took out the key, ran over and opened the iron door.
The entire five hundred square meters of space was a bit crowded with all kinds of boxes.
There are dairy products imported from Australian pastures, vacuum-packed bacon, and various processed cans shipped from Xingsheng Food Processing Factory. Fresh meats such as pork, beef, and mutton are filled with ten large freezers, and there are piles of them.
The rice was packed in sacks and turned into a mountain.
"Good guy, judging from the average stacking height of two to three meters, this batch of grain must be at least thousands of tons." Looking at the mountains of grain, Zhu Tian couldn't help but secretly sighed.
Calculating one kilogram of grain per person per day, one thousand tons of grain can probably feed 666,600 people for a month. The population of Tianyuan Base was only over 50,000 when it was at its highest, and the population of Daming Base was even less. Even recently
During this period, we have only hired a few thousand people.
Not to mention that most of the daily consumption for more than half a year has been solved. As for trade issues, this batch of grain is more than enough.
Fortunately, Zhu Tian is abroad now. If this batch of grain disappears in China, there will definitely be problems.
Without starting the moving work immediately, Zhu Tian went out and opened Warehouse No. 2.
Warehouse No. 2 contains salt, which is also scarce in the wasteland.
The salt in Jinling City in the wasteland is mainly produced by several coastal survivor bases such as Lishui Town, but the output is not high. Due to the production conditions, the quality of the salt is not very high. Hoarding salt in the country is a crime, but in Pa
The Lau Islands are not a problem at all.
In addition to boxes of salt, hundreds of items of beer, locally sourced subtropical fruits and dried fish are stacked here.
These supplies are specially customized "three-no products" with no packaging printed on the surface.
In other countries, it might be difficult for such products to go through customs, but in Palau it’s not that much of a hassle. Even the president is his guy, so it’s not a problem at all!
After the quantity of materials is confirmed, the next step is to continuously transport them back and forth.
Looking at the piles of supplies, Zhu Tian suddenly smiled bitterly.
"Damn, there are so many, when will they be moved..."
When Zhu Tian finished moving all the things in these two warehouses, it was almost night, and he was really tired!
"Oh my god, did you rob the granary?" Li Xinran was completely stunned as she looked at the mountains of boxes piled up in the backyard.
Although there has always been no shortage of food in the base, this was the first time she had seen so much food.
"Does it need to be robbed for such a small amount of food? Over here, such a pile would cost more than 700,000 US dollars." Looking at Li Xinran's ignorant look, Zhu Tian couldn't help but smile, and said with
He said with a slightly contented tone.
Much of the cost of hundreds of thousands of dollars is spent on logistics. The Palau Islands are surrounded by major agricultural and animal husbandry countries, and the prices for agricultural products shipped from Australia and New Zealand are very cheap.
"But this is too much..." Looking at the pile of hills, Li Xinran half-opened and closed her mouth and said stupidly.
Seeing the rare dull look on Li Xinran's face, Zhu Tian couldn't help but smile knowingly and reached out to pat her waist.
"Okay, don't just stand there stupidly. Let's move the things into the granary quickly."
Her cheeks were slightly red, and Li Xinran seemed to be aware of her gaffe, so she glared at Zhu Tian angrily, turned around and ran to the community center outside the villa to find Wang Qing.
Looking at Li Xinran's running back with a smile, Zhu Tian turned to look at the dark sky in the distance.
It's already February, and by the time this month is over, the heavy snow will almost stop.
In the wasteland, spring is the hunting season.
Whether it is those alien species that have just finished hibernation or those bandits who have been dormant for an entire season, they are all waiting hungrily for the snow to melt and for those two-legged or four-legged prey to emerge from under the ruins.
"A lot of things happened this winter." Zhu Tian shook his head, tightened his coat and walked towards the villa.
...
It was not until noon the next day that more than 1,300 tons of materials were counted and sorted and stored in warehouses.
Three hundred tons of grain were left in the base as a reserve and for daily consumption. The remaining more than a thousand tons were transported to the warehouse of Tianyuan base, part of which was used for local sales. The other part was established by the Zhao Group
A trading fleet was transported to the nearby cities of Suzhou and Hangzhou, where they were exchanged for energy crystals and other hard-selling hard currencies.
The whole day, the base was immersed in the joy of harvest.
Although we don’t know how the food was transported into the base, this does not prevent the survivors in the base from smiling happily at the full granary. Although not everyone is qualified to eat in the canteen, as long as they work hard
, one day he will become a first-class citizen and enjoy unlimited rations.
Just in time for the New Year.
With Zhu Tian's impromptu idea, the survivors set up a row of snow-covering sheds in the square in front of the community center and held a New Year's Eve dinner party.
Tonight only, regardless of status, anyone who is interested can apply for a stall, cook the food they like, and share the delicious food they made with others.
