After the Korean War, Hong Kong Island's reputation became very bad in the United States, mainly because many Americans believe that Hong Kong Island is a smuggling paradise and an unattractive factory concentration, and they are also worried that Hong Kong Island will be "rainbow-like".

Therefore, although the American government lifted the trade ban on Hong Kong Island by the end of 1953, the trade between the two sides is still inactive, and there are fewer American tourists coming to Hong Kong to travel than in Europe.

You should know that as a country that did not affect its local area in several wars, its market is enough to beat the entire Europe and play a great role in the development of Hong Kong Island.

Therefore, at the proposal of the British Ambassador to the United States, Hong Kong Governor Ge Lianghong went to the United States to give a tour speech at the end of 1954. During the six-week itinerary, Ge Lianghong had to visit 16 cities in total.

He would give speeches everywhere he went and promote Hong Kong Island. In addition, he would need to accept visits from different TV stations and also hold public forums with many groups to express his opinions on the future of Hong Kong Island.

In order to establish a fresh and good image in Hong Kong, Ge Lianghong is also preparing to deliver speeches in the United States entitled "Hong Kong Island-Oriental Berlin" and "Hong Kong Island-Free Bronze".

Wu Guangyao is full of expectations for this!

The future of Hong Kong Island is not just about having a financial or industrial city, but also an emerging tourist city;

Taking 1954 as an example, the number of tourists coming to Hong Kong reached 49,000 (the number of people staying in hotels is the standard). Wu Guangyao believes that this data will increase rapidly, and at most three years, it will exceed 100,000 tourists to Hong Kong for tourism.

So many tourists will drive many industries, including the Lao Fengxiang Jewelry under Wu Guangyao and the Uniqlo series.

.........

Lu Yu Teahouse, merchants gathered.

Everyone invites a few old friends to chat and drink tea; unfamiliar people can also chat together to discuss the hottest topics at present, and even do business together to become close friends.

Wu Guangyao also has a rare time to make an appointment with old friends such as Guan Yi, Li Jia, and Zhao Xi, and Wen Yiwen’s friendship!

These old friends gave a lot of help when Wu Guangyao first came to Hong Kong Island, and Wu Guangyao has always kept it in mind;

Over the years, Wu Guangyao has grown higher and higher, but he has not forgotten them. He always takes time to talk about the past and business with everyone.

"Guangyao, friends are the market, but you are a casual friend. Have you already met the cycle of the rise and fall of Hong Kong real estate?" Guan Yi asked about his doubts.

Since the end of the Korean War, Southeast Asian funds have gathered in Hong Kong Island and invested heavily in real estate, so the real estate industry in Hong Kong began to flourish!

However, Changjiang Industry, a subsidiary of Wu Guangyao, remained silent and kept the land in his hand and did not develop it. It only cooperated with two British foreign companies to develop two real estate projects, which made these friends who were familiar with Wu Guangyao guess the reason.

cautious?

If Wu Guangyao is cautious in doing business, then many people in Hong Kong will not be convinced;

How can even be called cautious when A-American company dares to tease people?

"No, I know so much! What are the cycles of prosperity and decline, the laws of ups and downs, and I don't know any philosophy. It's just that Changjiang Industrial has insufficient experience in developing real estate projects, so I want to learn more and then develop the land in my hands. Of course, we are also discussing recently whether the time is ripe. After all, we can't afford to lose if we don't develop it!" Wu Guangyao replied.

In fact, only Wu Guangyao himself knew that Changjiang Industry was waiting for the Hong Kong government to allow the development of high-rise buildings.

Building a five-story building like this today really doesn’t have much profit and no sense of accomplishment!

"You are really humble. Looking at the real estate companies in Hong Kong Island, only you, Cheung Kong Industrial, have the best development and the best selling properties. The most important thing is reputation. How many people are counting on you to open a property again!"

"Haha, Brother Guan has won the award!"

Pour a cup of tea, the fragrance of tea is everywhere, and the fragrance of tea is accompanied by it, and the mood is as comfortable as the wind. Wu Guangyao couldn't help but sigh: "Hong Kong Island is getting better and better!"

After hearing this, several people looked at Wu Guangyao, and saw that the following was gone, and they also agreed.

"Yes, Governor Ge Lianghong's recent speech in the United States was very fruitful; I believe that the trade between Hong Kong and the United States will be closer; as long as we completely open up the American market and support a few million people, it is still fine. Take your Uniqlo as an example. If the United States is completely relaxed, with your technology, quality, and price, it is probably possible to double the export volume immediately." Li Jia also echoed.

Although Li Jia has not started a business, she has been very comfortable at HSBC. She has been promoted twice in recent years and her salary has reached HK$350 per month, which is similar to Wu Guangyao's senior executives' salary.

The vice president of Wu Guangyao's company has the highest salary, usually 500 Hong Kong dollars per month, with dividends or bonuses at the end of the year.

If you go further, you will be executives, with a monthly salary of about HK$300 to HK$400, and there will be dividends or bonuses at the end of the year.

Others, like a skilled worker in the workshop, can get HK$55 per month, which is about 5% to 15% higher than outside, and there are benefits for three festivals.

The reason why Li Jia didn’t come out to start a business may be because she was scared of Zhao Xi’s hard work over the past few years!

It may also be because you want to be an executive at HSBC, or you realize that you are not capable enough.

Zhao Xi started his business with twists and turns. At the beginning, it was fine, but he worked with Wu Guangyao and was under little pressure;

Then Wu Guangyao took over his shares, and Zhao Xi was frightened every day;

As expected, Zhao Xi's life was not easy when the Korean War started, and the trading company declined severely, and occasionally he had to go to the opposite side to take risks;

At Wu Guangyao's suggestion, Zhao Xi took out another loan to prepare a hardware factory, but the mainland blockade also had a great impact on business;

Fortunately, after 51 and 52 years, life has improved all of a sudden!

However, in recent years, Zhao Xi has been frightened and racked her brains, and her hair has turned white!

Zhao Xi is a little bit worse than being a boss, at least he is a little unstable in his mentality!

If Wu Guangyao hadn't supported him, he would have given up long ago;

Wu Guangyao always advised him that his business would get better and he would not be in a hurry for his own money, even if it would take ten or twenty years!

......

Changjiang Industrial currently has a total of 8 pieces of land and one property (Global Building), with a land area of ​​1.33 million square feet.

According to the current market price, it is worth HK$28 million, while the cost used is only HK$4 million.

It is precisely because of this that Wu Guangyao's land does not develop, so the shareholders have no objection;

Otherwise, no matter how good the relationship is, you will inevitably feel dissatisfied; you are making a lot of money outside, but you are sleeping!

The eight undeveloped lands of Changjiang Industrial are as follows:

The deep waters of Yau Ma Tei, Tsim Sha Tsui, Mong Kok in Kowloon have four places, each with a piece of land with an area of ​​about 120,000 to 18 square feet. Wu Guangyao is preparing to develop it into a residential community.

There is a piece of land in Tsim Sha Tsui, Kowloon, near the sea area, about 200,000 square feet. Wu Guangyao is preparing to develop it into a commercial complex, all of which are only for rent and not for purchase.

The island has three pieces of land, ranging from 100,000 to 180,000 square feet, and Wu Guangyao is also preparing to develop it into a residential and commercial building.

The 8 pieces of land are very scattered, which was specially arranged by Wu Guangyao, so that Changjiang Industry can have more customer choices.

At this time, the situation of Changjiang Industrial Co., Ltd. was: Wu Guangyao held 67.5% of the shares, Lin Youde held 12.5% ​​of the shares, He Xian and Zhong Ziguang each accounted for 7.5% of the shares, and He Hongshen held 5% of the shares.

At this time, Changjiang Industrial's account was only a few hundred thousand Hong Kong dollars, and it was possible to redeem a small property. If several properties were opened together, it would be impossible to achieve it.

Wu Guangyao convened all the shareholders and held a meeting.

"I am intentionally preparing to develop all the land, so I need to raise funds again. It is still the same rule. If I don't want to raise funds, the shares will be diluted. Similarly, I can also choose to withdraw and I will buy the shares in your hands." Wu Guangyao said first.

When everyone heard this, Wu Guangyao opened all the properties together and was stunned. Even if he had money, he had to need manpower!

In fact, they were a little wrong, and Wu Guangyao planned to start construction one after another within a year.

"Guangyao, how much is the company's estimated price?" He Hongshen asked.

After hearing this, you will know that He Hongshen intends to withdraw. After all, he also opened a real estate company in Hong Kong Island. He is afraid that he also wants to take this opportunity to sell the shares of Cheung Kong Industrial and include the funds in his real estate company.

However, this is just right for me. I have some money recently and I want to convert all of them into a career.

"All land and properties have a total of HK$28 million. If Brother Shen withdraws, he can get HK$1.4 million."

In 5 years, everyone's funds have increased 7 times. Wu Guangyao believes that this profit is no one who can give them such a good profit!

When He Hongshen heard that he had 1.4 million, he was so excited that he worked hard in Macau for four or five years, and he was almost the same number;

Unexpectedly, I put 200,000 Hong Kong dollars in Changjiang Industrial for 5 years and made this number. It’s so worth it!

"Well, I want to quit, after all, I also have a real estate company now!"

"It's understandable that we will sign a share transfer contract later."

Next, Wu Guangyao looked at He Xian and Zhong Ziguang.

"I won't invest money or sell it. You can dilute the shares!" Zhong Ziguang said, but he was despising He Hongshen. He has developed a real estate project. Are you stupid if you run away?

Just based on your connections and abilities, is it one-fifth of Wu Guangyao?

"I won't invest money anymore. It's mainly based on this situation. If you want to do a big fight, I guess my wealth is wet and broken, and I can't compare to it, but I can't compare to it!" He Xian quipped.

"Haha, it's okay! Everyone is doing business, fair and just."

Next, under the witness of a lawyer, the new shareholding ratio of Changjiang Industrial was completed.

First, Wu Guangyao invested 1.4 million Hong Kong dollars to buy 5% of Ho Hongshen's hands, and his shares reached 72.5%.

Then, Cheung Kong Industrial raised HK$7 million from Wu Guangyao for the initial capital of developing the property.

The new share situation is: Wu Guangyao holds 80% of the shares, Lin Youde holds 9% of the shares, and He Xian and Zhong Ziguang holds 5.5% of the shares each.
Chapter completed!
