Chu Huan spoke, and Zhu Xiaozhao naturally had no objection.
On the other hand, Li Tianying hesitated for several days before agreeing to Zhu Xiaozhao's invitation.
But at this time, Chu Huan no longer paid attention to this matter.
There is only one thing that Chu Huan is concerned about right now, and that is the matter of acquiring land in Shatin New Town.
On the morning of the third day after discussing the matter with Guo Bingxiang, Chu Huan came to Fanling.
Here is a golf club that is famous in Hong Kong, but seems a bit mysterious in this era.
Hong Kong Royal Golf Course!
The Royal Hong Kong Golf Club, like the Jockey Club, is also the oldest association in Hong Kong. It is even more mysterious than the Jockey Club in Hong Kong. Being a member here means you are either rich or noble in Hong Kong. In the 1980s and 1990s, members were
Membership costs millions of Hong Kong dollars. However, in 1996, in order to avoid the impact of the return of Hong Kong, the word "Royal" was removed and replaced by the Hong Kong Golf Club.
In fact, it is just a change of soup but not medicine.
After becoming famous, Li Jiacheng, Zheng Yutong, Li Zhaoji and others were all members here.
Naturally, Chu Huan is no longer a member here. It’s not that Chu Huan is not qualified to be a member here. The main reason is that Chu Huan is not interested in the sport of golf, even though it is called a noble sport.
What is an aristocratic sport? According to Chu Huan's understanding, it is a sport that does not require sweating but can embody the spirit of sports. That is an aristocratic sport.
After all, no nobleman likes to be seen by outsiders looking sweaty and embarrassed.
Although Chu Huan was not a member here, he still received warm hospitality after arriving here. The caddy led Chu Huan towards the golf course.
From the club building to the club management, the golf course has always maintained a strong British style. The design of the golf course is also a typical park type. There is even a helicopter landing pad on the golf course. The most impressive thing is the vicissitudes of ancient trees all over the golf course.
It’s full of history.
When Chu Huan, who was wearing a Polo shirt, came to the stadium, he saw Jian Yueqiang, who was also dressed in the same style, chatting happily with a ghost man in his fifties.
After Chu Huan saw this ghost guy, he also became very energetic.
Because this ghost guy can be said to be nominally the most powerful person in Hong Kong at this time, the current Governor of Hong Kong, MacLehose!
He is also known as the most successful Governor of Hong Kong!
After serving as the Governor of Hong Kong, MacLehose carried out drastic reforms in Hong Kong, involving housing, cleanliness, education, medical care, welfare, infrastructure, transportation, economic and social aspects, a ten-year housing building plan, the development of new towns, and the establishment of
Important policies and constructions such as the Independent Commission Against Corruption, nine-year free education, the construction of underground railways and local administrative reforms were launched during his tenure.
For such a character, Chu Huan naturally had to take him seriously.
"Uncle Jian, Mr. Governor of Hong Kong!"
Even so, after meeting the two of them, Chu Huan still addressed Jian Yueqiang first.
MacLehose was not surprised by Chu Huan's arrival. After all, before arriving, MacLehose already knew that the person he was going to see today was this legendary young man in Xiangjiang.
Jian Yueqiang said with a smile: "Ah Huan, Sir MacLehose is very interested in your plan, and he took time out of his busy schedule to come here today!"
If Chu Huan wanted to acquire land in Shatin New Town, he would naturally have to deal with the Hong Kong government. In fact, Chu Huan could also go directly to the relevant departments of the Hong Kong government to apply.
But since he was going to use this matter to establish relations with the Hong Kong government, Chu Huan naturally hoped to have a direct dialogue with the most powerful person.
Among the elders around Chu Huan, the one who has the best relationship with MacLehose is Jian Yueqiang.
So Chu Huan first found Jian Yueqiang and told Jian Yueqiang his plan. Jian Yueqiang then found Mai Lihao. After conveying Chu Huan's intention, Mai Lihao immediately became interested in the suggestion put forward by Chu Huan.
Since MacLehose made the final decision to implement the new town plan, he naturally hoped to complete the matter as quickly as possible.
The two most important purposes of the new town plan are that the first is to alleviate the increasingly crowded crowds in the urban area of Hong Kong, and the second is to provide more housing for another plan proposed by MacLehose, the ten-year public housing plan.
land.
In the final analysis, we just want more idle people in Xiangjiang City and some unemployed people in the New Territories to get better arrangements!
But this plan alone is not enough. If there are not more supporting facilities to attract these people, there is no way to attract more people to move here.
Therefore, employment opportunities have become the most important guarantee here.
But now the manufacturing industry in Xiangjiang is obviously being gradually replaced by the real estate industry and the financial industry. Although there are sporadic factories being established in Xiangjiang, there is still a big gap between what MacLehose had in mind.
That's why when he learned about Chu Huan's plan from Jian Yueqiang, he agreed to meet Chu Huan in such a short period of time.
"Mr. Chu has become famous in the business community of Xiangjiang in the past two years. I didn't expect that he would be so interested in manufacturing!"
MacLehose naturally had no need to be polite to Chu Huan, so after meeting Chu Huan, he directly raised the matter.
Chu Huan said with a smile: "Xiangjiang is a place good at creating miracles. The manufacturing industry in the past was extremely brilliant in Xiangjiang. I believe that the current manufacturing industry also has a glorious future in Xiangjiang!"
MacLehose nodded and continued to ask: "I heard from Keung that Mr. Chu plans to build two super factories in Shatin New Town that can provide employment opportunities for 20,000 people?"
Chu Huan said: "There is indeed such a plan, but there will definitely not be so many job opportunities in the early stage. My plan is that each factory can provide 10,000 jobs within three years. If necessary in the later stage,
, this number should still grow!”
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! MacLehose knew that Chu Huan would definitely not lie to him about this kind of thing, but business matters are not planned, they will be inevitable
It can be implemented, not to mention that before this, Chu Huan had no successful cases in this area. As for Jiahu Textile, Chu Huan acquired it from his uncle.
It doesn't show Chu Huan's ability in this area.
Moreover, MacLehose also had great doubts about the factory that Chu Huan was going to build.
"Can toy factories and printing factories really be built on such a large scale?"
Chu Huan understood MacLehose's worries and said with a smile: "Mr. Governor of Hong Kong, whether it is a toy factory or a printing factory, they are actually founded based on "Fantasy Comics". I wonder if Mr. Governor of Hong Kong knows that "Fantasy" is now
What’s the global sales of Comics?”
MacLehose showed a curious expression. He only knew that "Fantasy Comics" is very popular in Hong Kong now, but because this industry is too unpopular in Hong Kong, even though many comic companies have followed suit,
Still so!
"Appreciate further details!"
Chu Huan said with a smile: "As of the last issue, the sales volume of "Fantasy Comics" in a single issue in Hong Kong has exceeded 300,000 copies, and the sales volume in Taiwan has reached 350,000 copies. The sales volume in Southeast Asia has officially exceeded 1 million copies. In Japan
This book has reached an astonishing 1.5 million copies!”
It can be said that the sales volume of "Fantasy Comics" has been on an upward trend. In June, it reached the sales volume predicted by Chu Huan before. However, this is not the end. Looking at it now, it is just the beginning.
"According to our company's current forecast, by the end of the year, the sales volume of a single issue of "Fantasy Comics" will reach 500,000 copies in Hong Kong, 550,000 copies in Taiwan, 1.5 million copies in Southeast Asia, and 1.5 million copies in Japan.
Reaching 2 million copies, if you add the sales in other regions, it will be an astronomical figure!"
Since you want to get the land you want from the Hong Kong government, you can't hide it now.
Chu Huan told MacLehose the true sales volume of "Fantasy Comics"!
After hearing this, MacLehose showed a shocked expression, but this expression only passed briefly, but even so, one could see the shock in his heart.
Even if the sales in some areas cannot use the printing factory in Xiangjiang, the number is enough to shock people.
Chu Huan continued: "Not only that, our company has now reached cooperation intentions with newspapers such as Oriental Daily, Sing Tao Daily, Sing Pao and Zhen Bao in Hong Kong. In the future, if the printing plant is successfully built, theirs will also
will cooperate with us!"
If what Chu Huan just said about "Fantasy Comics" only shocked MacLehose at the success of "Fantasy Comics", then when Chu Huan mentioned these newspapers, MacLehose was worried about the land for the printing plant.
There was no comment at all on the application.
"As for toy factories, Mr. Hong Kong Governor, don't worry. In fact, there are already many Xiangjiang toy factories manufacturing comics peripheral toys, and the sales volume is very objective. I believe that after our toy factory is established, with the help of
Driven by "Fantasy Comics", sales will only be higher."
Chu Huan could see the profits brought by the toys surrounding the comics, and naturally others could also see it. However, when these toy companies approached "Fantasy Comics" and wanted to get the copyright, they were all rejected by Chu Huan.
But this does not hinder those people's strong desire to make money.
Therefore, at this time, there have been many imitation toys on the market that are not authorized by "Fantasy Comics".
Chu Huan has always ignored this behavior and just watched with cold eyes. First of all, based on the sales of these imitation toys, we can see how much the people of Xiangjiang love these toys.
Secondly, it can naturally increase the popularity of these toys.
After Chu Huan's toy factory is built, all unauthorized toy manufacturers in the world will receive a lawyer's letter from Fantasy Comics!
It can be regarded as generating income in advance for Fantasy Comics Club!
When MacLehao heard Chu Huan's description of the toy factory, he just nodded slightly. Without real data, he still had no intuitive feeling.
But with the printing factory in front of him, MacLehose also decided to believe Chu Huan's story for the time being.
After all, what MacLehose values more is the subsequent impact of the establishment of these two factories, which is the concept of a city within a city that Chu Huan told him through Jian Yueqiang.
"The establishment of the two factories, coupled with the city-within-a-city plan you mentioned, will require at least one billion Hong Kong dollars to complete this series of plans. I have also learned about Mr. Chu's financial resources. I am afraid that this expenditure will be very important to Chu.
Is it a bit difficult for you sir?"
Faced with MacLehose's doubts, Chu Huan showed great confidence and said: "I have already prepared the initial capital of 20 million to build two factories. As for the city-within-a-city plan...this plan is the most
It will be implemented soon after the two factories are completed next year. As for the funding issue, Mr. Hong Kong Governor, do you still remember what I told you before about the sales of "Fantasy Comics"?"
"At that time, "Fantasy Comics" will bring a profit of 7.93 million to the company every month. In addition, I have not included the income from single books. If the single books are included, this income will even exceed 1,200 yuan.
The most important thing is that I have not yet calculated the income from the continued increase in sales of "Fantasy Comics", and the city-within-a-city project is destined to be a very time-consuming project. With the continuous income from "Fantasy Comics"
The injection and my personal funds are enough to support the entire city-within-a-city project!”
In fact, Chu Huan did not tell MacLehose all the income from "Fantasy Comics", such as another important market for "Fantasy Comics", the European and American markets!
After more than two months of siege, "Fantasy Comics" has completely established a foothold in the European and American markets.
Today, the sales volume of a single issue of "Fantasy Comics" in Europe has exceeded 2 million copies, and the North American market has reached 1.8 million copies.
It is precisely because of this sales that "Fantasy Comics" has the confidence to reopen negotiations with European and American distributors and printing plants, reducing the previous 60% sales share to 40%.
So based on the current sales volume alone, these two regions will bring a monthly income of 2.13 million US dollars to "Fantasy Comics", which is 11.96 million Hong Kong dollars per month.
Just like in Asia, this profit will continue to increase as the sales of comics continue to increase, generating more income. In addition, this income in the European and American markets also does not include the income from individual books!
If you simply count the income from single volumes, the annual income of "Fantasy Comics" will also exceed 300 million Hong Kong dollars!
Just as Chu Huan planned, "Fantasy Comics" is gradually becoming a big moneymaker in Chu Huan's hands!
MacLehose didn't know these statistics, but he was still surprised. He was surprised that a comic company could have such huge income, more than a real estate company!
MacLehose looked at Jian Yueqiang, who was standing next to Chu Huan, and suddenly smiled: "I think if you are in need, Mr. Chu, Keung's Bank of East Asia will also lend you a loan, right?"
Jian Yueqiang smiled easily and said: "Our bank is also open to do business. As long as the customer's qualifications are excellent, we have no reason not to lend to them!"
At this point, Chu Huan knew that MacLehose was completely moved by his plan, but the other party would definitely have to go back and summon his staff to discuss the matter seriously.
After that, the three of them stopped talking about this matter and started playing golf happily.
Although Chu Huan is not interested in this sport, he played with many people in his previous life for his own business. Although he is not the opponent of Jian Yueqiang and Mac Lehao, he can still be regarded as a back-and-forth!
MacLehose did not stay here for too long. After playing a few games, he left.
Jian Yueqiang also saw that Chu Huan's mind was not on playing ball, so he and Chu Huan went to the rest area and sat down. The waiter quickly brought juice.
"It seems like MacLehose is already tempted by your plan!"
Naturally, Jian Yueqiang no longer had to play language arts with Chu Huan and could just speak directly.
"But just because he is tempted doesn't mean that this matter will be a natural success, so you still have to be careful, especially when there are some competitors on the opposite side of you!"
Jian Yueqiang also knows something about the Avengers.
After Chu Huan took a sip of juice, he said with a smile: "If they get involved in this matter, they are not going against me!"
Now it is obvious that this plan of mine can help MacLehose complete his new town plan more quickly. It is impossible for MacLehose not to be tempted. Since MacLehose has been tempted, then it means that MacLehose is interested in this matter.
He will definitely actively promote it, although due to his position and reputation, he cannot be so obvious.
But if anyone makes trouble for Chu Huan in this matter, it will really make MacLehose uncomfortable.
Jian Yueqiang said: "You always have to be careful. This matter is not a trivial matter after all. With an investment of one billion Hong Kong dollars, before this, the only successful experience in the city-within-a-city plan was Mei Foo Sun Village. Even Taikoo Shing is nothing more.
Planning but not building!”
The construction of Mei Foo New Village has allowed many companies in Xiangjiang to see the huge potential of this kind of city-within-a-city. However, because this type of investment is so large, ordinary real estate companies have no courage to try it.
But there must always be the first one to follow the trend, and this company is the Swire Group in Hong Kong!
The predecessor of the Swire Group was Swire & Co., whose main business was shipping and trading. In the 1950s, it acquired Cathay Pacific and expanded into the aviation industry, but it has never been involved in real estate.
During the 1960s, Swire continued to sell the land it owned, including the Taikoo dormitory site in Quarry Bay, and later built overcrowded pigeon-style residential buildings such as "Haishan", "Seaview" and "Fuk Cheong". In the early 1970s, it also
The land on the east side of Wah Lan Road was sold off, and buildings such as Crown Car Shop, Yanfu Industrial Building, Po Feng Court and Wai On Court were built.
In 1972, the Swire Group saw that the real estate industry in Xiangjiang was becoming increasingly prosperous, while the world's shipping industry was beginning to slump, so it founded Swire Properties Limited to enter the real estate industry. It planned to close the Taikoo Dockyard and use the huge land it owned for real estate development.
And what they want to develop is Taikoo Shing!
In the early days, Taikoo felt that the group lacked real estate expertise. In order to absorb experience, this year it jointly acquired the small real estate company Jiancheng Real Estate with Dah Chong Properties owned by Chen Detai, reorganized it into Taikoo Chang Development, and injected the Taikoo Shing Phase 1 site.
However, later on, Swire executives probably felt that the scale of the redevelopment of Taikoo Dockyard was too big and there was no need to share it with Dachang. So in 1977, they acquired all the shares of Taikoo Chang Development and listed Swire Properties on the Hong Kong Stock Market.
Swire Properties later developed into one of Hong Kong's well-known real estate groups.
After Swire Properties was founded, it began planning the Taikoo Shing development project, a well-known high-end large-scale private housing estate.
Next year, Swire Properties will announce that it will build a comprehensive development housing estate with a commercial center, schools, theaters and residential buildings on the Taikoo Dockyard area with an area of 2.3 million square feet. The housing estate will be named "Taikoo Shing" and will be built jointly.
There are 50 high-end residential buildings ranging from 28 to 32 floors, with more than 10 residential units, which can accommodate 45,000 people, and a huge commercial shopping mall - Cityplaza.
The entire plan is expected to take eight years, with a total investment of approximately 1.35 billion yuan.
Although this plan has not yet been officially implemented, it has already spread among the business community in Xiangjiang!
"With such a huge plan, the manpower and experience of Huhua Real Estate in your hands is also a problem!" Jian Yueqiang reminded.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Chu Huan smiled and said: "This is not a big problem. I think as long as this plan is made public, there will be a lot of real estate.
Companies that come to us for cooperation don’t even have to wait until that time!”
If Chu Huan really launches this plan, it will be the largest real estate project currently involved in Xiangjiang Huazi Real Estate Company. Such an impact will be unimaginable. Even if the world is not good now, there will be
Countless real estate companies swarmed in, wanting to cooperate with Chu Huan.
Jian Yueqiang thought for a moment, "You mean Guo Desheng?"
The only people who knew about Chu Huan's plan at this time were Guo Bingxiang, Jian Yueqiang, and Mai Lihao who had just left!
But since Guo Bingxiang already knows, Guo Desheng will naturally know too, even if Guo Bingxiang has already been kicked out of the house by Guo Desheng.
Chu Huan nodded and said: "It's just that I thought Guo Desheng would have come to see me long ago, but I didn't expect that Guo Bingxiang hadn't told Guo Desheng about this matter by this time!"
Jian Yueqiang suddenly laughed and said: "If Guo Desheng really wants to cooperate with you on this plan, the best contact person will be Guo Bingxiang. Then the matter of Guo Desheng kicking him out of the house has actually been given up, so why are you still
How about borrowing money from Guo Bingxiang?"
This plan is really too big. If it is left to someone else, Guo Desheng will definitely send someone he trusts most to contact Chu Huan about this matter. At the same time, this candidate also needs to be trustworthy by Chu Huan.
The only person who meets this condition is Guo Bingxiang.
"Or are you not planning to cooperate with others and just want to do this alone?"
Chu Huan said with a smile: "I just want to see Guo Bingxiang get beaten!"
Jian Yueqiang was stunned for a moment, then laughed out loud, pointed at Chu Huan and couldn't help but said: "You!"
But then he added: "It is at this time that I feel like you are a young man!"
Chu Huan laughed and answered another question from Jian Yueqiang: "The cooperation must be with other real estate companies. If Sun Hung Kai Properties really has an idea, I don't mind their participation. After all, this project is too big.
, and Huhua Real Estate has no experience in such real estate development. If we can cooperate with a professional real estate company, we can save Huhua Real Estate a lot of trouble."
"It can also add an ally with a closer cooperative relationship for you!" Jian Yueqiang added.
Chu Huan nodded and did not deny the matter.
It is true that cooperation will definitely share Chu Huan's profits in this matter, but it will also allow Chu Huan to save more capital investment.
And avoid unnecessary errors that may occur during the entire construction process.
Then you can also use this opportunity to improve the professional capabilities of Huhua Real Estate staff!
The most important thing is...
This plan is bound to be a long-term project. Although in the eyes of many people, the real estate project is a very profitable project, in Chu Huan's view, the rate of return and the time required for this project are too long.
Chu Huan estimates that this city-within-a-city project will be completed within five years!
Five years’ time!
Chu Huan can use this time to earn more funds than this project.
What Chu Huan really values about this project is to establish a relationship with the Hong Kong government and at the same time increase his social influence!
While Chu Huan and Jian Yueqiang were discussing this matter here, Guo Bingxiang finally plucked up the courage to return home.
When Guo Bingxiang came back, Guo Desheng still looked angry.
"Didn't you say that you would never come back even if you starved to death outside? What? It's only been a few days and you've just run back?"
Facing Guo Desheng's reprimand, Guo Bingxiang wanted to turn around and leave, but thought of Chu Huan's plan and did not turn around after all.
"There's something I want to tell you. It's about Ah Huan. If you don't want to hear it, I'll leave now!"
When Guo Desheng heard that it was about Chu Huan, even though he was very angry at Guo Bingxiang's behavior of running away from home, he restrained his anger first, but still said with a cold face: "Come to the study with me!"
After speaking, he turned around and returned to his study.
Guo Bingxiang lowered his head and followed Guo Desheng listlessly into the study.
The two father and son were like enemies in the previous life. Wherever they sat, the air in the study condensed!
Looking at Guo Bingxiang who was silent, Guo Desheng reprimanded loudly: "What are you doing standing there in a daze? What happened to Ah Huan?"
Guo Bingxiang reluctantly told Guo Desheng about Chu Huan's plan.
It is impossible to keep this matter secret. At most, no one knows about it until Chu Huan is in the early preparation stage. But as long as Chu Huan takes action, I believe that such a huge plan will spread throughout the entire Xiangjiang real estate industry very quickly.
Therefore, telling Guo Bingxiang this plan to Guo Desheng at this time does not constitute leaking Chu Huan's business secrets, and it is difficult for anyone to compete with Chu Huan in this kind of thing.
Because they don't have the conditions that Chu Huan has!
That is, if you want so many people to live in this city-within-a-city, and the Shatin New Town has not yet been built, you must rely on the workers of the printing factory and the toy factory.
After he finished speaking, Guo Bingxiang originally thought that his father would be very surprised, but he did not expect that after he finished speaking, Guo Desheng just sat there with no expression on his face. This was when he was truly shocked.
After a while, when Guo Bingxiang was feeling uneasy, Guo Desheng suddenly asked: "Why did Ah Huan tell you this plan!"
Guo Bingxiang said: "I just told you!"
Guo Desheng suddenly said angrily: "Tell me everything!"
Seeing that Guo Desheng was angry, Guo Bingxiang no longer dared to hide it, so he went to Chu Huan to borrow money, and then told Guo Desheng the whole process of telling Chu Huan the Hong Kong government's plan.
As a result, after hearing this, Guo Desheng, who had not reacted much just now, suddenly burst out in anger: "I asked you why you have the guts to run away from home. It turns out that you had deliberately asked A Huan to borrow money!"
As he spoke, Guo Desheng looked around, obviously trying to pick up some handy weapon!
When Guo Bingxiang saw this, he turned around in fright and wanted to run away!
