Reborn in Hong Kong: The Tycoon Grows Up

On February 20, 1983, at China Kyoto International Airport, a Boeing 747 passenger plane was already on the runway preparing to take off. The wealthy Chinese group in Xiangjiang stayed for 3 days longer than originally planned, and there was really a lot to do. But no one had any complaints. After all, this trip to China was fruitful.

Already understand mainland China's determination to reform and open up, as well as its attitude towards the Hong Kong issue. As long as they go back and do things step by step, there will be no problem. The country is their strong guarantee and solid backing.

This time, Mainland China's Heiyun Group will invest in building a home appliance factory in Shanghai. At the same time, Hong Kong Chinese wealthy groups will build a port in Shanghai and an electronics wholesale market in the deep sea. There are countless other investment projects. This is a trip that all Chinese people are satisfied with, but the British people in Hong Kong do not think so. After all, the closer Chinese businessmen get to the mainland, the more worried they are about public opinion. This is the only bargaining chip they can win. But now all this is about to change, and the British are thinking about giving eye drops to rich Chinese people at the airport.

Unlike when we came here, we were all unfamiliar with each other. After spending a few days together, we already know each other. Bao Zixuan did not continue to sit near the engine, but sat in the first class cabin in front. Wherever the identity is placed, it cannot be too low-key.

Bao Zixuan sat next to Huo Yingdong. The two of them still had many topics in common.

Fok Yingdong: "The British are already waiting at the airport. It is estimated that it will not be easy to escape after arriving at the airport."

Mr. Huo's connections and information sources in Xiangjiang are much better informed than Bao Zixuan's. This is a matter of background. It is not easy to surpass him in a short time. After all, Mr. Huo has been operating in Xiangjiang for decades and was already a super rich man in the 1950s.

Bao Zixuan: "It's still inconvenient without an airport. I have to be prepared when I go back to Xiangjiang."

Huo Yingdong knew something about Heiyun Town. After all, such a big project couldn't be hidden from anyone. What's more, Huo Yingdong is a very well-informed source of information.

Huo Yingdong said with a smile: "So the land in the New Territories will be built after we go back. You are playing a big game of chess. It is difficult for a country to promote the development of such a large area of ​​land. Heiyun Group is just a company. It should be difficult." Not too small."

In fact, Huo Yingdong is also worried about funding issues. After all, the funds needed to develop such a large area of ​​land at the same time are quite large. If the Heiyun Group falls due to a lack of funds, this is something he doesn't want to see. Bao Zixuan has now become a symbol, a symbol of outstanding Chinese people in Hong Kong.

Bao Zixuan knew that Huo Yingdong cared about him, even though he was under great financial pressure. But if you don’t do it now, the cost will be higher if you do it later. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. At this time, the British Hong Kong government will allow you to build such a large project in order to maintain the stability of Hong Kong. It even includes matters such as the arrival of mainland construction teams and the construction of small airports. But once Hong Kong's economy stabilizes, the British will not be so happy.

Bao Zixuan: "I also know that it is difficult for a company to develop such a large project, but if we don't do it now, it will be difficult to have such an opportunity in the future. At this time, land prices are cheap, and the land prices in the New Territories are negligible. The stock and property markets in Hong Kong are sluggish. Only the Government-General will approve the Heiyun Group's large-scale development of the New Territories, thereby promoting the economic development of the entire Hong Kong. It will also give Hong Kong citizens confidence, but once the property market and stock market are stable, they will not give the green light."

"The construction of Heiyun Town requires a large amount of sand and gravel. Mr. Huo needs to give your full support!"

All sand and gravel of Xiangjiang Construction come from mainland China and are sold through Fok Ying Tung Group. Therefore, Bao Zixuan is not too worried about the sand and gravel problem. Since he has a good relationship with Mr. Huo, the other party will not embarrass him and take the opportunity to raise the price. The cement contract has been negotiated, and it is too late for the partner to regret it; as for the steel package, Huodong Mining Company will provide it. The materials for construction are basically complete, but now imported glass requires a lot of money. After all, mainland China has not yet specialized in producing such large and high-strength glass. It must be purchased from Germany, as Huaxia Continental’s glass technology does not meet the requirements.

Huo Yingdong: "Sand and gravel are a trivial matter. You have to hurry up with other materials. After all, the quantity required this time is really too large, and ordinary factories cannot handle such a large order."

Bao Zixuan also knew that Heiyun Town would definitely cause a sensation once it was announced. After all, no one would have thought that a company would build a city independently. Mr. Bao just doesn't want to take the ordinary path, and the company will have a hard time for several years. But once the construction is completed, you won't have to worry about construction costs for many years to come.

In fact, another reason is that the amount of tax paid by Heiyun is too terrifying, which will only benefit the British. If the money is not spent, you will definitely have to pay a lot more taxes. In the future, the money earned every year will basically be filled into the Heiyun Town project. This is also one of Bao Zixuan's purposes. The British have regarded Xiangjiang as a super fat sheep.

When enterprises in Xiangjiang build office buildings, factories, dormitories and other infrastructure, they can deduct taxes over five years; that is to say, the tax deduction amount is 20% per year. Based on the building scale of Heiyun Town, it is believed that the tax revenue of Heiyun Group will be greatly reduced in the next ten years. This is what Bao Zixuan hopes to see.

Bao Zixuan: "Other materials are almost ready, and many of them will be produced by ourselves. After all, the requirements this time are very high. At the same time, Heiyun staff have been arranged to purchase materials from China, such as white marble. I have built many buildings according to standards that are more than a hundred years old. .”

Huo Yingdong did not expect Bao Zixuan to be so ambitious, and it seemed that he underestimated this young man's strength. Is industry really so profitable? It seems that family investment cannot be too limited.

Huo Yingdong: "It's good that you are sure. Although I have tried my best to overestimate your strength, I still find it a bit contemptuous. Is it true that you can make a lot of money in industry?"

Huo Yingdong's words made Bao Zixuan really don't know how to answer for a moment. He should not hide anything from Huo Yingdong in public or private matters; after all, there were not many businessmen in Xiangjiang who could be called friends.

Bao Zixuan thought for a while and said: "The century-old companies in the world are basically in three fields, banking, automobile manufacturing and luxury goods industry. Of course, this does not include Japanese companies. They have their own development models. Most people really Can’t learn.”

Japanese entrepreneurs do not want to have sons, but most prefer to have daughters. When the time comes, recruit the most capable young man in the company as your son-in-law so that the business can continue. The son has no choice but the son-in-law can choose whatever he wants.

But this is simply unimaginable for Chinese entrepreneurs, and the Chinese have no other choice. Otherwise, who will pass the business to his son-in-law, there are only two possibilities: the son is really useless or there is no son at all.

Of course Huo Yingdong understood what Bao Zixuan meant, but it was difficult to make up his mind for the moment. After all, Fok Yingdong Group has been engaged in real estate project development for many years. What if it fails to enter the automobile manufacturing field.

The British in the banking industry will not agree to Fok Yingdong's entry. This is a matter of principle. The luxury goods industry is mainly concentrated in Europe and the United States. Even the Japanese cannot play with it. The most that Xiangjiang businessmen can get is agency rights.

The automobile industry requires a high level of technology, and it would be unimaginable for Fok Ying Tung Group to venture into it without any basic knowledge.

Fok Yingdong: "So the automobile industry is still profitable, but how do we get the technology?"

Seeing Huo Yingdong's heartbeat, Bao Zixuan knew that his guidance was working.

Bao Zixuan: "There are many small factories in European and American countries with complete production lines and technology patents. With the impact of the oil crisis, their lives are not easy, and they only need to spend a little money to buy them."

"After you get the technology, you can start domestic production, and the factory can be located in Deep Sea or Yangcheng. Baohuodong Mining Company will provide raw materials, and it can also invite other tycoons to enter the auto parts industry, so that it can be established between Deep Sea and Yangcheng. We will form an industrial chain. Our main focus is on the Chinese mainland and Southeast Asian markets. I believe there is no product that cannot be sold as long as it is cost-effective."

In the previous life, so many automobile manufacturers in mainland China were able to survive, but Bao Zixuan did not believe that Fok Yingdong Group could not do it. Now it's a question of whether to do it or not, and the chance of failure is very small.

Huo Yingdong: "It seems that the boss should be allowed to travel abroad more. If there is anything you don't understand, don't keep it to yourself."

Bao Zixuan: "Real estate companies have been prosperous for decades at most, and no real estate company has been able to survive for more than a hundred years. But if you look at car brands, they are all over 50 years old. As long as they are done carefully, there will be no big problems."

"Not just me, but the entire Heiyun Group will definitely go all out and never shirk it as long as Mr. Huo needs it."

With Bao Zixuan's statement, Huo Yingdong felt relieved, which was equivalent to taking a reassurance.
