I want to be a giant of Hong Kong Island

Chapter 225 [Social Reception]

Cority's super yacht moved slowly and began to sail away from Victoria Harbor, of course not too far, because the guards of the Governor's Palace are not allowed.

There are always some small boats behind the super yacht, these are the guards of the Governor's Mansion and Wu Guangyao's guards.

There were so many people crowded on the Cority super yacht, for a better experience, no matter whose bodyguards could only follow them in small boats, except for Ge Lianghong and Wu Guangyao who left one or two guards on the super yacht.

After a circle of greetings, Wu Guangyao did not drink less wine, but did not take a sip of food;
Buffet food is placed everywhere on the yacht, including seafood, Chinese food, and snacks. There are tableware next to it, and guests can start it at will.

Back in the main hall, Wu Guangyao had just chatted with everyone when Li Cui timidly handed over a piece of food, and Wu Guangyao quickly took it.

"Well, it's hard work. Go and chat with Yueru and the others, just in time to practice your broken English!"

Many men are well aware of the intimacy revealed between the words, and the western ladies not far away seem to understand it.

It seems that this young man is not as dedicated as he imagined!
"Mr. Governor, Yaoshi Industry under my subsidiary wants to open another large-scale smelter. I wonder if the Hong Kong government can provide some support?" Wu Guangyao changed his style of painting and began to seek contacts for his business.

The Shauqiwan smelter simply cannot meet the increasing demand of PG zippers, not to mention that Wu Guangyao still wants to enter the aluminum alloy door and window industry, and even plans to export aluminum alloy materials abroad.

However, the land area of ​​the smelter is very large, and the water consumption is also very large (if there is a shortage of water, the water is manually picked up from the mountain);
Take the output of the Shauqiwan smelter as an example, it can produce 20 tons of aluminum alloy and several tons of copper every year, which is equivalent to two-fifths of what PG zippers need;
Don't forget that there is also a YKK zipper, and you can also choose to buy aluminum alloy from Hong Kong Island.

Therefore, it is imperative to reopen the factory.

"How big is it?" Ge Lianghong didn't immediately agree, because he knew that the person who could take the initiative to ask him for help would probably have a large investment and the land would naturally be large.

"About 300 acres, with a total investment of 2000 million Hong Kong dollars. After completion, not only can it meet the needs of the zipper factory, but the excess production can also be used for export." Wu Guangyao said, but he was calculating in his heart that such a large land would not be worth much in the future. tens of billions.

In his previous life, "Steel King" Pang Dingyuan bought land to build a factory in Tseung Kwan O in 1958. In the late 150s, he sold the 80 mu of factory land to Swire Properties and Hung Kai Properties for more than 130 billion.

I own 300 acres, and the future value will not exceed 300 billion Hong Kong dollars. This is a fixed asset.

"what?"

The people around opened their mouths wide, feeling incredible.

There has never been a heavy industrial factory of this scale on Hong Kong Island.

Ge Lianghong was a little embarrassed. The area of ​​Hong Kong Island is too small, and there is so much land for people to build factories.

Moreover, this kind of factory is not in the interests of the Hong Kong government, and it is far less cost-effective than selling it to real estate developers.

"But Hong Kong Island doesn't have such a large land for you to build a factory, your scale is too big!" Ge Lianghong said.

When Wu Guangyao heard this, he naturally knew what these colonial officials were thinking. It was nothing more than that the Hong Kong government did not have much interest.

"Your Excellency, the New Territories are currently in an undeveloped stage. The Tseung Kwan O land on the Tiu Keng Leng side is currently undeveloped. I am willing to build a factory there. Your Excellency, if this factory is completed, it will be able to solve the jobs of 5000 people." , the society will be more stable and prosperous." Wu Guangyao continued.

In this day and age, besides considering building a factory on Hong Kong Island, how can I build a factory there?
Therefore, Wu Guangyao is bound to win this factory!

"Then let's go back and discuss it, and then I'll give you an answer!" The governor finally said helplessly.

300 mu is not a small number. If it is sold to a real estate developer, the harvest is far greater than that of industrial land;
Fortunately, this young man likes to find undeveloped places, which saves a lot of trouble.

If no other factors are considered, wherever the young man's factory goes, it can prosper.

Shau ​​Kei Wan and Tsuen Wan, with the presence of Wu Guangyao's factories, showed a scene of prosperity.

Take Tsuen Wan, which was a wasteland before 1950, as an example. After PG Zipper moved in, the families behind the 5000 workers were about 2 people, and these people worked and lived in Tsuen Wan stably.

One can imagine how powerful the contribution of the factory to society is!

Then Wu Guangyao chatted with HSBC Taipan, Sanders and others.

"Is there any financial risk in my factories?" Wu Guangyao asked Sanders. HSBC has the right to supervise the finances of Wu Guangyao's companies, because many of them are borrowing huge sums of money.

Sandas shook his head and said with a smile: "If you asked this sentence a year ago, I would have told you that Lao Fengxiang Jewelry was in a very dangerous state, but now it is also free, and it seems that the debt will be paid off soon , flourishing!"

The danger Sandas mentioned is naturally the risk that diamonds will not be able to enter the Asian market. However, after a year and a half of hard work, the diamond business has begun to make a lot of profits, which has exceeded the profits of gold.

Of course, gold is still the foundation of Laofengxiang jewelry, no matter how good the diamond business is, it cannot shake the status of gold.

Wu Guangyao chatted with the executives of HSBC, and they were quite familiar, which made many people envious.

Even foreigners can't help but envy the relationship between Wu Guangyao and HSBC!

Someone once questioned the Taipan of HSBC Bank, saying: "Is HSBC Bank a British capital? Why does it support a Chinese with all its strength!"

The Taipan of HSBC explained: "Of course HSBC is British-funded, and HSBC does not fully support Wu Guangyao. Every loan he has is secured. It seems risky to outsiders, but in fact HSBC can guarantee the recovery of the loan. .But HSBC is a company, and of course the most important thing is the return. It is precisely because this Chinese can bring huge returns to HSBC, so HSBC borrowed a lot of money from him."

Facts have proved that HSBC made the right choice. At present, HSBC has not only obtained a large amount of interest from Wu Guangyao, but also obtained a large amount of business.

In particular, Cheung Kong's installment payment has brought many people into contact with HSBC, and they believe that they will make deposits with HSBC in the future.

"Superintendent Richard, I heard that you are going to be transferred back to London Gaosheng?" Wu Guangyao walked into the crowd of the police department and greeted Richard.

At this time, the four chief inspectors of Zonghua have not yet made their debut, and they are all foreigners who control the police system.

It should be Lu Le who was the first to become the chief inspector of Zonghua, and he did not come to the position until the end of the 50s.

However, Wu Guangyao did not intend to have any intimate relationship with these people; it is best to get along peacefully, and Wu Guangyao is not made of mud if there is no peace.

The people in Sitang have been training regularly on the deserted island, and there should be no problem in assassinating individuals;
Wu Guangyao believed that compared with the gang organization, his Sitang was more lethal and enough to protect his own safety.

Of course, this thing is a Dinghaishenzhen. Once it is exposed, it will be a notorious organization all over the world.

Fortunately, they are usually just watchdogs.

"Well, when Mr. Wu arrives in London, don't forget me as a friend. Remember to have a drink together!" Richard said coolly. He and Wu Guangyao have been friends for five or six years, and the two have always cooperated happily.

"Of course, I often go to London. When Richard is promoted, he can't deny me as an old friend!"

Although he is a very good friend, Wu Guangyao has never forgotten Richard's benefits, but they are basically gifts like gold jewelry to the couple.

In this way, one advantage is that the two can comfort themselves, this is not a money transaction.

Of course, Wu Guangyao did regard Richard as a good friend, and he helped him a lot in the early days of his business, although they were all paid.

This "hundred-day banquet" became Wu Guangyao's social reception, and the people who came were basically the upper class of Hong Kong Island, whether they were foreigners or Chinese, everything depended on strength.

Of course, because the strength of the Chinese is not high now, it is difficult to break into the upper class of Hong Kong Island.
