Walking into MacLehose's office, the place is simple and plain, with no gorgeous headlights or famous paintings and antiques.
MacLehose himself is also very approachable and does not have the feeling of being superior.
After sitting down, Li Jianhui did not rush to speak, but quietly listened to MacLehose and Feng Jingyao reminiscing about the past.
There are many gains here, including the upcoming liberalization of foreign banks’ establishment of branches in Hong Kong and the opening of banking licenses.
In addition, capital can enter and exit Hong Kong freely, and Hong Kong is transforming into a free port.
Not to mention the results of this land purchase, just what MacLehose and Feng Jingyao talked about today made his trip worthwhile.
In the past, these were only circulated among senior executives in Hong Kong's financial circles. MacLehose had even communicated with the heads of major banks and securities companies in Hong Kong many times. However, because it had not been officially promulgated, the outside world did not know about it.
There is no doubt that once these provisions are officially implemented, Xiangjiang's financial industry will usher in rapid development, and Xiangjiang will soon become a world-class financial center.
The free flow of capital in and out of Hong Kong alone will make countless financial companies, banks and even individuals choose Hong Kong.
After the official implementation, it will also benefit Li Jianhui's development greatly. Many of his future developments will be easier to operate, and it will be easier for him to establish his own bank.
After chatting for a while, Feng Jingyao did not forget that today he mainly played a matchmaking role.
Seeing that the time was almost up, he immediately said: "I paid a special visit to you today, mainly because my nephew Jianhui wants to communicate with you about something, and I hope you can help."
MacLehose already knew what Li Jianhui wanted to do with him this morning. He did not expect that this young man had such a big appetite that he would apply to the Land and Planning Department for a hundred hectares of land at once.
For the current Huihong Game Company, five hectares of land is enough to meet its many years of development, and seventy hectares is a complete waste.
As for commercial land, it is even more whimsical. Even as the Governor, he does not think there will be much prospect in developing commercial real estate in Tseung Kwan O in recent years.
However, MacLehose still wanted to hear what the young genius who was touted by the Hong Kong media had planned for this. If he couldn't explain the reason and was just relying on his hot head, then such a person would not be worth his while.
Faced with MacLehose's inquiry, Li Jianhui was well prepared. He responded loudly: "I acquired seventy acres of industrial land not only for the current arcade assembly. Next year, Huihong Game Company will enter the family game market."
, we will develop a family gaming platform.
This market far exceeds arcade machines, and the production of our platform will be placed in this industrial park.
In addition, as a company, I do not want some core components to be restricted by others. In the next few years, our company will enter the R&D and manufacturing of printed circuit boards, displays, and wafer chips, all of which will be located in Tseung Kwan O.
Even though it’s more than 70 hectares, in my opinion it’s still far from enough for my future plans. I’m just taking this much for now and will buy it again in the future.”
MacLehose heard a strong sense of ambition from this young man's words. This was a young man with a strong desire for control, who dreamed of controlling the product from beginning to end.
Similarly, this young man is also quite arrogant. Many companies in the world only focus on the same industry. Those who develop games are mainly engaged in game development, and those who produce chips specialize in chip production.
But this person is thinking about game development, monitors, chips, printed circuit boards, and even the lowest-end industry such as arcade assembly.
But MacLehose had to admit that he was persuaded by this young man. If Li Jianhui really develops as he said, and the government provides appropriate guidance, Tseung Kwan O will become the center of Hong Kong's electronics and semiconductor industry, able to drive the development of the entire Tseung Kwan O and surrounding areas.
MacLehose smiled and said: "Young people should be so energetic. If there were more young people like you in Hong Kong, there would be no need to worry about Hong Kong's economy.
I just don’t know how long your plan will take. After all, I can’t grant you a hundred hectares of land just with your empty words.”
"Please rest assured, Governor, that I have a complete plan in mind. Once the land is acquired, I will immediately start construction of an arcade production and assembly plant with a capacity of 2,000 employees, a red and white machine production plant with a capacity of 3,000 people, and a 500-person production plant."
Famicom game card production plant.
These factories are expected to cover an area of 40 hectares, with the remaining 30 hectares reserved to prepare for printed circuit board production.
As for commercial land, I promise to complete all land development before the end of 2082. In addition to residential areas, this includes a school and a hospital."
MacLehose heard that Li Jianhui was very organized and did not say anything out of the blue. It was obvious that he had a plan in mind before.
Although this plan is very difficult to complete with Li Jianhui's current financial resources, considering the miracles Li Jianhui has created during this period, it does not seem impossible.
Once Li Jianhui really succeeds, then the development government in Tseung Kwan O will only need to give a new town a name, and there will be no need for the government to worry about improving transportation and infrastructure, and economic development.
I agree with Li Jianhui's land purchase. For the government, no matter how you look at it, it is a sure-profit deal.
Moreover, if the contract signed with Li Jianhui is not completed within the specified time, the government can take back the land for free.
MacLehose said slightly seriously: "Are you sure that these plans can be completed as scheduled? This is no joke. If you can guarantee it, you can go to the Land Planning Department tomorrow. These plans will be written into the contract as a condition. If you can't
If it is completed, the consequences will be very serious."
Li Jianhui was very confident in himself. If it weren't for the fact that he wanted to wait until he made a fortune in the gold futures market before officially entering the real estate industry, he would not have delayed it until 1982.
As for the industrial land, I'm afraid that in 1982, the 70 hectares will not be enough for him.
He also said solemnly: "I promise to complete all development by the end of 2082 at the latest, and I am willing to write this into the contract.
I also hope that the Governor can tell the Land and Planning Department to let me get the land as soon as possible and start the construction of the production plant as soon as possible. At present, my company's production base in Sham Shui Po can no longer meet the needs of the company's orders."
Seeing that Li Jianhui was so determined to take over the 100 hectares of land in Tseung Kwan O, he naturally no longer stopped him.
He promised to notify the Chief Secretary and the Land Planning Department today that Li Jianhui would be able to obtain the land in Tseung Kwan O tomorrow.
And there is no difficulty for Li Jianhui in terms of price. Industrial land costs one Hong Kong dollar per square foot. As for commercial land and Cheung Kong, Wheelock negotiated to buy Tin Shui Wai at a similar price, 1.5 Hong Kong dollars per square foot.
At the same time, it was also promised that if Li Jianhui completes the development of 70 hectares of industrial land before the end of 2082 and the number of employees in the industrial park exceeds 10,000, Huihong Gaming Company has the right to give priority to purchase 50 hectares of industrial land around the industrial park at market prices for future expansion.
