Although there were already signs of this incident, things still turned out to be completely different from what Chu Huan knew.
In another time and space, due to pressure from the Guo family, Guo Bingxiang and Li Tianying broke up. Li Tianying went away to England to lick her wounds alone. As for whether there was any connection between her and Guo Bingxiang, no one knew.
Then Guo Bingxiang married his first wife in 1982, divorced six months later, and went directly to England to find Li Tianying, and then the two parties got back together.
Guo Desheng was angry at Guo Bingxiang's behavior and kicked him out of the house and cut off his financial resources. However, Guo Bingxiang did not give in again. It was not until she gave birth to a child with Li Tianying that Li Tianying was accepted by the Guo family.
But now, in 1973, Guo Bingxiang was kicked out of the house by Guo Desheng because of his affair with Li Tianying!
Is it a small node in history that outsiders don't know about, or has this matter gone in a completely different direction because of Chu Huan's appearance?
No matter what, the matter between Guo Bingxiang and Li Tianying was made public and the window paper was torn. It was because of Chu Huan that Guo Bingxiang was kicked out first, and Chu Huan was naturally responsible.
"How is Miss Li doing now?"
Chu Huan poured Guo Bingxiang a glass of whiskey and asked with a smile.
Guo Bingxiang said helplessly: "What else can I do? I am preparing to leave Xiangjiang!"
"Leave Xiangjiang?" Chu Huan showed a puzzled expression. You were kicked out. Why did Li Tianying leave Xiangjiang?
Guo Bingxiang glanced at Chu Huan sheepishly: "My mommy has been looking for her!"
A classic bloody scene immediately appeared in Chu Huan's mind.
The evil mother-in-law slapped a check on the table arrogantly and proudly, and said to the silly girl opposite: "This is five million, leave my son immediately!"
Silly Baitianlihua said with rain: "No, I won't take this money. Your son and I are true love, but love that cannot be recognized by his parents is imperfect. I don't want him to be in a dilemma, so
Let me go!"
No, I can’t think about it anymore, that picture is a bit jarring!
"In other words, Aunt Guo found Li Tianying, and then Li Tianying gave in?" Chu Huan asked tentatively.
Guo Bingxiang sighed and said: "She didn't want to embarrass me, and what my mom said was indeed a bit harsh!"
Chu Huan spread his hands and said: "Then what can I do? I have met my uncle before, and you were also present at that time. It is obvious that my uncle was not convinced by me at that time!"
According to the previous agreement between Chu Huan and Guo Bingxiang, Chu Huan did go to see Guo Bingxiang, but how could Guo Desheng be persuaded by an outsider like Chu Huan on this matter?
After Chu Huan understood what Guo Desheng meant, he said nothing more.
It’s really not easy for outsiders to get involved in this kind of thing, and it’s very likely to make people dissatisfied!
Guo Bingxiang said: "Lend me some money, I want to start my own business, and then you can find a way to let Aying stay in Xiangjiang!"
Chu Huan looked at Guo Bingxiang and said helplessly: "Although I have some reasons for this matter, but you borrowed money so confidently and then asked me to help you find a way, won't your conscience hurt?"
Guo Bingxiang laughed and said: "I can do it to others, but I can't do it to you!"
Chu Huan showed a helpless expression and said, "How much money do you want to borrow?"
Guo Bingxiang immediately laughed and said: "It must be five million anyway!"
Chu Huan pointed directly at the door of his office and said: "It's better to leave without seeing you off!"
five million!
Five million in 1973!
Guo Bingxiang is really a lion with a big mouth!
Guo Bingxiang didn't stand up at all and said: "But you know, if you want to be in the real estate industry, you must have a large amount of cash. It's hard for me to operate without five million!"
Chu Huan waved his hand and said: "I have five million, but can you tell me what kind of real estate project can be started with five million? Even if the real estate market in Xiangjiang is not good now, you are a bit too much.
It’s too whimsical!”
Guo Bingxiang obviously had a comprehensive plan in mind before coming to Chu Huan, and said proudly: "Of course it won't work in places like Central and Tsim Sha Tsui, but if it's in the New Territories, these five million will be enough."
It’s enough to serve as my starting capital!”
Chu Huan saw that Guo Bingxiang was speaking so firmly and asked: "Tell me what you think."
Guo Bingxiang said: "Although the real estate market in Xiangjiang is not very good now, you cannot deny that the population in Xiangjiang is growing rapidly. The increase in population will inevitably increase the demand for housing. These people who are new to Xiangjiang will have more money in their hands."
There is definitely not much cash to buy real estate in places like Hong Kong Island and Kowloon, so their targets can only be places like the New Territories.
In addition, after these people come to Xiangjiang, they will definitely work and make money, and factories located in the New Territories and other places are their first choice. I think that although the New Territories will not be developed much in a short period of time, the number of residents will
It will definitely increase!”
After Guo Bingxiang finished speaking, he glanced at Chu Huan proudly and said, "How about my opposite approach?"
Chu Huan sat there, not knowing what to say, while Guo Bingxiang looked at Chu Huan who was slightly silent. From being proud at the beginning, he was now a little at a loss.
"What did I say wrong?"
Chu Huan adjusted his sitting posture, and then asked Guo Bingxiang: "Why do you think those people came to Xiangjiang from their hometowns just to work in the countryside of Xiangjiang?
Houses are indeed very important to Chinese people, but even if they enter the factory, do you think they will be able to afford the money to buy a house in a short time?
Also, where is the New Territories? It is the most protected place in the Xiangjiang region. Do you think the indigenous people there will allow groups of immigrants to occupy their land?"
Guo Bingxiang thought for a while and said: "They always have to live when they come to Xiangjiang, right? Since they want to live in the New Territories first, what's the matter?"
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "Haha!" Chu Huan could only say: "It is right to go to the New Territories, but it does not mean that people have to live in the New Territories. In Kowloon and Hong Kong Island
Can't you rent a house? The most important thing is that even in the New Territories, your five million won't be enough to build housing."
Guo Bingxiang said: "This is simple. First buy the land, then use the land to mortgage the bank for a loan, and then sell the off-plan properties. It will definitely be enough to support the construction of housing!"
Seeing Guo Bingxiang being so confident, Chu Huan could only continue to ask: "What about the aboriginal forces in the New Territories? How do you deal with them?"
Guo Bingxiang smiled and said: "This is easier. When I was at Sun Hung Kai, I had a good relationship with some powerful patriarchs there. If it doesn't work, I will bring them in to do it together. I will definitely be able to do it.
It’s done!”
Chu Huan looked happy and asked Guo Bingxiang: "Do you know the clan leader over there?"
Guo Bingxiang nodded and said: "I know that. Although those people are a little greedy, in fact they are all quite stupid. You should be able to handle them easily!"
Chu Huan fell into silence again. He now thought about not borrowing money as Guo Bingxiang said, but about building a printing factory and a toy factory.
"What do you think of my idea?" Guo Bingxiang saw that Chu Huan was silent again, so he could only ask again.
Chu Huan smiled and said: "It's okay for me to lend you money, but there is one thing you have to do for me. If the commission is made, you will be indispensable!"
Since Chu Huan decided to set up his own printing factory and toy factory, what he has been thinking about is how to obtain suitable industrial land in the New Territories without conflict with the local aborigines.
Now that Guo Bingxiang suddenly said that he had good connections in the New Territories, Chu Huan naturally would not waste it.
"What happened?" Guo Bingxiang asked.
Chu Huan said: "I want to buy two industrial lands and one commercial land in Shatin District. Each industrial land is at least 400,000 square feet. As for residential land, I want as much as I want. Even if you help me buy the entire Shatin
,It will be all right!
If you can help me settle the industrial land issue first, then I will pay you the commission and lend you 5 million without interest!"
Buying the entire Sha Tin was Chu Huan's boast, but it certainly didn't stop Chu Huan from saying so at this time!
Guo Bingxiang froze on the spot.
If two 400,000 square feet of industrial land are used to build factories, each of them can accommodate at least tens of thousands of workers, and Chu Huan also wants commercial land. This plan...
"It shouldn't cost much to simply buy land. According to your plan, you can get it for about eight million. Of course, I'm only talking about the price of two industrial lands, but if you add this, there is no upper limit.
of commercial land...forget it, let's not count this out for now.
The key is what do you want to do with so much land?"
The current land price in Sha Tin is really not expensive. Not only now, in the future in 1979, the Hong Kong government decided to develop Sha Tin, so the 6 million square feet of reclamation project in Sha Tin was put up for auction. At that time, Black & Decker Real Estate sold it for 20 million Hong Kong dollars.
The price is right.
Although this is a reclamation project, it also illustrates how cheap land prices in Shatin are.
Whether it is a printing factory or a toy factory, these two factories have their own uniqueness. Both factories serve "Fantasy Comics", so Chu Huan is not worried at all about this kind of thing being known to outsiders, because they
There is no way to seize the resources of "Fantasy Comics".
So Chu Huan told Guo Bingxiang his purpose.
After Guo Bingxiang heard this, he was not too surprised. Although he didn't know much about comics, he had talked with Chu Huan before and knew that comics can be derived from toys.
only.......
"You don't have to build a factory. You can outsource it?" This is what Guo Bingxiang is most curious about.
Chu Huan smiled after hearing this and said, "You really don't know why I want to build my own factory?"
Guo Bingxiang pondered for a moment, then showed a shocked expression, "The two factories, according to the scale you mentioned, need at least 20,000 workers, which means that there are at least 20,000 families in Xiangjiang who depend on you for food.
Nearly 100,000 people were affected by you?”
Chu Huan smiled and nodded. Such thoughts cannot be hidden from others. It is better to admit it openly than to hide it.
"I understand, the commercial land you want is actually used to build residential units, and your customers are your employees!" Guo Bingxiang became more and more surprised as he spoke.
"If this is the case, the entire project will cost at least 700 million... No, no, if it is a simple residential unit, this amount of money will naturally be enough, but with such a huge user base, if it is just used
It would be too wasteful to build simple residential units. We can completely build this place into a city within a city like Mei Foo Sun Chuen, so the entire plan will cost at least one billion!"
The Mei Foo Sun Estate site is located on the banks of the beautiful Lai Chi Kok Bay in West Kowloon. It was originally a Mobil oil depot with a large land area. The owner is the Mobil Oil Company, which has been in Hong Kong for decades.
That is, Mobil Oil, one of the five major oil companies in North America that Chu Huan worked with before!
In 1893, Standard Oil Company of New York opened Mobil Oil Company in China, named "Mobil Village", which means beautiful and reliable, and sold fire water and fire water lanterns in China.
In 1906, Mobil entered Hong Kong, and the Mobil lamp it promoted became famous for a while.
In the mid-1960s, Mobil saw that land prices in the urban area of Xiangjiang were high, so it formed Mobil Enterprises Co., Ltd. with the North American real estate company Galbreath Ruffin Corporation and the construction company Turner Construction Co. to develop the largest private housing estate in Xiangjiang, named Meibil New Estate.
The Mei Foo Sun Chuen site covers an area of up to 40 acres. Mei Foo plans to move the crude oil depot to Tsing Yi and then develop 99 20-storey residential buildings on the site, with a total of 40 residential units. The usable area of each unit ranges from 450 square feet to 1,400 square feet.
The square footage varies, becoming a "city within a city" including recreational gardens, entertainment venues, commercial shops and all living needs.
When this plan was proposed in 1965, it was considered the most creative concept in the history of building development in Hong Kong.
The total investment of Mei Foo New Village is nearly 700 million yuan. It is divided into eight phases. Construction started at the end of 1966 and was completed in the mid-1970s. It can provide housing for 70,000 people. Its scale is unprecedented.
In order to develop Mei Foo New Estate into a complete independent community, Mei Foo Enterprises attaches great importance to the environment and supporting facilities in the housing estate.
Each of the eight phases of the building has a complete shopping mall, including banks, restaurants, grocery stores, butcher shops, bakeries, pharmacies, clinics, tailor shops, laundries, etc., to provide residents with daily needs.
The fourth phase also has a huge commercial center with a 4-story department store; the seventh phase of the commercial center has Chinese and Western restaurants, a large supermarket and 35 shops.
The estate also has 6 kindergartens, two private middle schools and 3 primary and secondary schools, as well as various entertainment facilities such as theaters and bowling alleys.
It was precisely because of the existence of Meifu New Village that Chu Huan had the current plan.
Seeing Guo Bingxiang express his inner plan, Chu Huan had to sigh that it was not unreasonable for these people to leave their names in the business history of Xiangjiang. As long as they were given a little hint, they could figure everything out!
"If your plan is revealed, I'm afraid it will shock the whole of Xiangjiang!"
Guo Bingxiang couldn't help but preach.
Chu Huan said with a smile: "Shocking Xiangjiang will happen later. What I have to do now is to take down the land first. At the same time, when I am constructing, there must be no harassment from the local aborigines."
Guo Bingxiang nodded and said: "If this is the case, you must give a sum of money to the clan leaders."
Chu Huan had no objection to this expenditure, "How to divide five hundred thousand is your business!"
Guo Bingxiang said: "Okay!"
Just when Chu Huan thought the matter was settled, Guo Bingxiang brought Chu Huan another piece of good news.
"I just heard some news, I believe you will be very interested!"
Chu Huanxiao looked at Guo Bingxiang and said, "Then the good news you told me is considered as my reward for telling you the news?"
Even though what Chu Huan is proposing now is just a preliminary plan, for people like Guo Bingxiang, it already means countless business opportunities.
If Chu Huan's plan can be implemented in the end, then the land prices and housing prices in the two factories planned by Chu Huan and the area in the city-within-a-city will definitely rise. If Guo Bingxiang can get it in advance, he won't have to come. For development, as long as you can purchase the land in advance and resell it, the profit may be doubled!
Guo Bingxiang smiled and said: "I heard that the Hong Kong government has always had the idea to develop a new town in Shatin, but it has never thought of a good way. If you can find something beneficial to you, then you can get whatever you ask for. It’s satisfying, and it can also help you expand your connections in the Hong Kong government!”
Shatin New Town was created through reclamation, but the project has just started for more than a year.
The Hong Kong government decided to build a new town in Sha Tin on land reclamation in order to relieve the congestion in the urban area. After consultation with the Hong Kong government, it decided to build a large number of resettlement housing estates in Sha Tin.
Therefore, with the aim of allowing higher-density residential and industrial development in Sha Tin, the Hong Kong government has formulated a draft revised outline zoning plan after further planning and engineering studies.
In 1965, the then Public Works Bureau prepared a comprehensive development plan, proposing to develop a new town in Sha Tin with a population of approximately 1 million.
A draft outline zoning plan based on this plan was finally approved in 1967.
In the early 1970s, the authorities prepared a revised draft development plan, setting the population of Sha Tin at 500,000 when the development was completed.
Shatin began large-scale reclamation in the early 1970s, and its population continued to increase.
This is the origin of Sha Tin New Town.
Isn’t this the first city of Shatin?
However, in Chu Huan's impression, Shatin City One would have to wait until 1979 for the land to be auctioned by the Hong Kong government, but he did not expect that the Hong Kong government would have this idea now.
Of course, the development of Sha Tin New Town had already started in 1975.
Chu Huan suddenly had some ideas in his mind. The company that took the photo of the land used in Shatin City One was Black Decker Real Estate in Xiangjiang. It was a company with no reputation, but it had to be seen which companies formed Black Decker Real Estate.
In 1975, when the Hong Kong government opened a bid for the new reclamation area in Sha Tin, Li Zhaoji was the sponsor. Henderson Land, Cheung Kong, SHKP, and New World Development formed a joint venture, Black Decker Real Estate Co., Ltd., and won the bid for Lot 1 of Sha Tin New Town.
, and develop the large-scale Shatin City One in this area.
Now that Li Zhaoji's Henderson Land Development has not yet been established, it is naturally impossible for him to set his sights so far-reaching.
At this time, Sun Hung Kai Properties behind Guo Bingxiang focused more on Pok Fu Lam Road, the Tsuen Wan site, Boundary Street Kent Court, Fuk Wing Street and Kweilin Street, Longzhu Island, Tsing Yi and other places, but did not set its sights.
To the new town of Shatin.
That's why Guo Bingxiang informed Chu Huan of the news.
And if Chu Huan puts the two major factories here, he won't even need to deal with the aboriginal people in the New Territories!
"How about it? If this thing can be done, will I help you save another five hundred thousand?" Guo Bingxiang looked at Chu Huan proudly.
Apparently he had also thought of what Chu Huan was thinking.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Chu Huan nodded and said: "I owe you a favor for this matter!"
Not only was it about the five hundred thousand, Guo Bingxiang told Chu Huan the news. In fact, even Guo Bingxiang's own commission for Chu Huan's acquisition of the land was gone.
Guo Bingxiang said: "It's just that although the land in the new town can meet your needs for building a factory, if you talk about the residential area, I'm afraid you will have to continue to move mountains and reclaim the sea!"
Chu Huan said nonchalantly: "It is precisely because of this that we can negotiate better with the Hong Kong government!"
Guo Bingxiang nodded and said: "Since you already know everything, then give me the money!"
Chu Huan did not hesitate this time, and happily took out his checkbook, wrote a check for five million, and handed it to Guo Bingxiang.
"In order to repay you for this news, I will do you one more thing for free!" Chu Huan said to Guo Bingxiang with a smile.
Guo Bingxiang immediately asked: "What happened?"
"Since I asked Xiao Zhao to borrow Li Tianying's name before, I think it's better to let Li Tianying go to work at Yunhai Chain Store, so that I can share Xiao Zhao's burden."
Although when Yunhai Chain was first established, Zhu Xiaozhao went to the University of Hong Kong to listen to business knowledge for a period of time, but now with the rapid expansion of Yunhai Chain, Zhu Xiaozhao has obviously begun to feel tired, although Zhu Xiaozhao has not told Chu Huan about this matter.
, but Chu Huan can also see it.
If there is someone who can share Xiao Zhao's burden at this time, it will definitely be a very good thing for her.
As for the company's operation, Chu Huan is not worried that Guo Bingxiang knows. In fact, many people know how to operate a business model like Yunhai Chain, but whether it can be successfully operated is another matter.
Sure enough, after hearing what Chu Huan said, Guo Bingxiang immediately showed an excited expression and said: "This method is good. After Xiao Zhao and A Ying met last time, the relationship between the two was very good. If Xiao Zhao now
If we invite A Ying out, then A Ying will definitely not think about leaving Xiangjiang."
Chu Huan looked at Guo Bingxiang proudly and said: "How about this, this method can make us two clear?"
Guo Bingxiang said with satisfaction: "The two things have been cleared, the two things have been cleared!"
Now that this matter has been resolved, Chu Huan and Guo Bingxiang separated. Chu Huan went to Zhu Xiaozhao, and Guo Bingxiang went to Li Tianying!
...
Located in an apartment in Tsui King Court, Central.
According to later generations, this apartment was a thousand-foot mansion, and this was Zhu Xiaozhao's residence.
After finishing his day's work, Zhu Xiaozhao dragged his tired body back and was accompanied by Liu Hui. However, Liu Hui, who had just arrived at the door, suddenly stopped Zhu Xiaozhao who was about to open the door and go in.
"Miss Zhu, wait a moment!"
At this time, Liu Hui looked a little serious and signaled Zhu Xiaozhao to stay away from the door, while she took out the baton from her waist and looked at the door warily.
When Zhu Xiaozhao, who was exhausted, saw Liu Hui's action, he immediately showed a worried look: "What's wrong?"
Liu Hui put her left index finger to her mouth, making a gesture to silence Zhu Xiaozhao, and then pointed to the door to indicate that there was someone inside.
Zhu Xiaozhao became more and more worried.
Liu Hui took out her key and punched the door carefully, and the light inside instantly shone out.
Just when Liu Hui was about to make a move, Chu Huan came to the door with a smile on his face.
After seeing that the person in the room was Chu Huan, Liu Hui and Zhu Xiaozhao were obviously relieved.
Chu Huan also saw the baton in Liu Hui's hand, and explained with a smile: "Originally, I wanted to go to the company to find you, but when no one answered there, I knew you were back, but I didn't expect to arrive before you!
"
Chu Huan had the key to Zhu Xiaozhao's room in his hand, although Chu Huan had never used it.
In fact, Chu Huan wanted to go to the company to find Zhu Xiaozhao, but when he called Zhu Xiaozhao's office, no one answered. Chu Huan knew that Zhu Xiaozhao must be off work. However, when Chu Huan came here, he found that there was no one either.
Maybe you can get the key in first.
After seeing Chu Huan, the fatigue on Zhu Xiaozhao's face disappeared instantly, revealing a sweet smile: "Brother Huan, why are you here?"
Chu Huan turned sideways and said with a smile: "Let's talk about it first!"
Zhu Xiaozhao and Liu Hui walked in.
"I didn't go to your bedroom!"
Chu Huan joked.
Liu Hui also lives here in order to protect Zhu Xiaozhao more conveniently.
Liu Hui knew that Chu Huan came here this time and must have something to ask Zhu Xiaozhao, so she said: "Master Huan, Miss Zhu, I'm going back to the room first. If you need anything, just call me!"
Chu Huan nodded, and Liu Hui returned to her room.
Zhu Xiaozhao's place has a layout of four bedrooms, two living rooms and two bathrooms, which is considered an absolute luxury house in Xiangjiang. Chu Huan and Zhu Xiaozhao also came to Zhu Xiaozhao's study.
Different from Chu Huan's study, Zhu Xiaozhao's place seemed more warm and lovely.
"Brother Huan, if you want something to drink, I'll get it for you!"
I wish Xiao Zhao a sweet sermon.
Chu Huan lovingly pushed Zhu Xiaozhao onto the sofa and said with a smile: "You don't have to be so polite with me. I'll get whatever you want to drink!"
Zhu Xiaozhao nodded.
Chu Huan continued: "By the way, I just called Yongji and asked them to send some food over. The two girls live together, but there is nothing in the refrigerator!"
Hearing what Chu Huan said, Zhu Xiaozhao's face turned red instantly.
Chu Huan asked with concern: "How is it? Do you feel tired from the company's work?"
Zhu Xiaozhao preached as always: "I'm not tired!"
Chu Huan said: "You're not tired yet, look at how much weight you have lost!"
Zhu Xiaozhao was like this. Chu Huan's simple concern made her heart feel warm and full of strength.
"It's really not tiring, and I can lose weight just like this!"
Chu Huan laughed and said: "Are you tired? I have found a helper for you. Can you leave any tiring things to her in the future?"
