I want to be a giant of Hong Kong Island

Chapter 425 [New World Center]

At the beginning of the new year, Wu Guangyao was working in the office of Universal Building;
The phone in the office rang, and Wu Guangyao couldn't help frowning;

His train of thought was interrupted, Wu Guangyao showed displeasure, who the hell needed to call his office directly!

Usually only the president of each group company will call in to Wu Guangyao's office;
If other people are looking for themselves, they need to call the office next door first.

Chris glanced at Wu Guangyao, then picked up the phone.

"Hey, sister! Well, I'm here! Waiting for you to come!"

When Wu Guangyao heard this, his brows relaxed, and he was no longer unhappy;
Hearing the voice, it should be Lin Yueru. He must be looking for something at this time.

After waiting for nearly 45 minutes, Lin Yueru knocked on the door and entered.

Wu Guangyao smiled and said, "What door are you knocking on?"

Lin Yueru looked at Chris and Wu Guangyao playfully, her eyes revealing the signal of 'what do you think'!

"Sister!" Chris greeted her, coquettishly.

Lin Yueru patted Chris's hand and said, "You're just kidding!"

At this time, Lin Yueru walked up to Wu Guangyao with a newspaper in her hand;

Wu Guangyao got up and gave up his seat to Lin Yueru, while Chris went to make coffee.

Lin Yueru was not polite, and sat directly at Wu Guangyao's boss position, and Wu Guangyao sat directly at the desk.

"Look at this news!" Lin Yueru said calmly, unable to tell what happened.

Wu Guangyao picked up "Sing Tao Daily" and looked at the place Lin Yueru pointed out.

'Six or Seven is the culprit? '

writer of sensational headlines?
Continuing to read, it turned out that a university professor wrote an article pointing out that there are a large number of out-of-school young people on Hong Kong Island. These people are idle and easily deceived by others, which is a very bad factor in society.

After closing the newspaper, Wu Guangyao looked at Lin Yueru and said softly, "I will support you whatever you want to do!"

Lin Yueru was very moved after hearing Wu Guangyao's words, and got up and came to Wu Guangyao's side.

"I want to donate a few middle schools so that these half-grown children can go back to school!"

After hearing this, Wu Guangyao thought about it;
There are three kinds of charity that I have been doing all the time:

First, based on his sympathy for the reason why he fled to Hong Kong in 47, Wu Guangyao has always donated some living supplies to those who came across from him, so that they would not be hungry or cold. After all, everything is difficult at the beginning. .

Second, it has solved a large number of labor problems and improved the treatment of workers, which can be regarded as charity.

Third, donate to the university. Wu Guangyao is the founder, honorary chairman and main donor of the Chinese University of Hong Kong.

Of the three directions, the most costly and costly is of course to resettle some of the 'refugees' coming from the opposite side;
Big money is one thing, the most important thing is that Wu Guangyao will often go to 'find people' and spend a lot of energy;

Those 'refugees' who were waiting to be sent back were suddenly taken care of by the goddess of luck one day, and were directly fished out of the British army by Wu Guangyao's company.

Of course, these people are educated young people, after all, these people are easy to settle.

After a while, Wu Guangyao said, "There must be a method for this kind of thing. There must be a way for you to donate to the school. Someone will share your worries."

Knowing what Wu Guangyao said, Lin Yueru naturally thought of a countermeasure and looked at Wu Guangyao eagerly.

Wu Guangyao went on to say: "Haven't we already established a family foundation? We will also establish an educational charity foundation, and regularly allocate a sum of money from the family foundation to the education foundation every year; at the same time, we will set up a professional team to manage educational charity Foundation; in this way, you only need to decide the direction of donation and supervise the direction of funds, which is much easier.”

When Lin Yueru heard this, she immediately became happy;

The establishment of an education foundation means greater investment, more professionalism, and of course a wider range of beneficiaries and greater influence.

"Well, listen to you!"

"Well, we don't know much about this aspect. I will let my subordinates do it first, and strive to emulate the United States and carry forward this educational foundation."

In mid-February, Hong Kong and Kowloon reported that Cheung Kong and Swire Pacific had reached a deal. Swire & Co. would sell the Blue Chimney, which occupies an area of ​​2 square feet, to Cheung Kong at a price of 23 million Hong Kong dollars.

For a time, Hong Kong and Kowloon were shocked!
This transaction record broke multiple records in the history of Kowloon real estate!

The highest total price, the highest unit price.
As the news fermented, it also gave Hong Kong Island's sluggish real estate industry a shot in the arm.

Ignoring the commotion outside, Wu Guangyao took Shi Jun to find Hong Kong Governor Dai Linzhi.

Dai Linzhi looked at the blueprint of the 'New World Center' produced by the Yangtze River Design Institute, and was also fascinated by the sailing hotel.

Putting down the blueprint, Dai Linzhi said: "Mr. Wu is really a big hand! Such a novel design sailing hotel, after it is completed, it will be famous all over the world, attracting rich people and celebrities from all over the world to stay there."

Wu Guangyao said bluntly: "Not only that, once the New World Center is completed, it will contribute to the tourism industry of the entire Hong Kong Island."

Dai Linzhi nodded, agreeing with Wu Guangyao's statement.

Dai Linzhi said: "Then you came to me, it must be to increase the land business?"

Wu Guangyao said: "The Governor of Hong Kong clearly sees that if we want to build according to this design blueprint, we need 50 square feet of land. I personally went to the site to inspect it, and there are indeed 27 square feet of land around for development. So I hope the Hong Kong government will support this kind of project that is beneficial to the development of Hong Kong Island."

Dai Linzhi thought for a while and said, "In principle, there is no problem, but you need to negotiate with the Public Works Bureau for the specific plan."

Wu Guangyao said: "Then please say hello to the governor and the Public Works Bureau first!"

Dai Linzhi nodded and agreed to the request.

The Public Works Bureau of Hong Kong Island is a well-oiled office;
The biggest problem is not the commercial real estate approval, but the public housing built on Hong Kong Island;
Public housing is a project to benefit the people built by the Hong Kong government, and it is also the administrative policy of each Hong Kong government;
In the 21st century, the Hong Kong government has become the largest landlord in the world;

Naturally, it also breeds a large number of moths;
When the water is clear, there will be no fish. Wu Guangyao is not interested in affecting anything like this.

In the Works Bureau, a group of officials saw the blueprint that Wu Guangyao personally sent, and joined the discussion one after another.

There were praises and doubts, but Wu Guangyao accepted them one after another and gave explanations;
The people in the Public Works Bureau are not laymen, and their opinions are not aimless, so we can discuss it together.

A week later, the Hong Kong government finally agreed to Cheung Kong’s request and allocated 27 square feet of commercial land;
The price is very considerate. Cheung Kong only needs to pay 5000 million Hong Kong dollars, which can be paid off in one year!
Of course, Cheung Kong Industry also reciprocated, and built two public projects - the Avenue of Stars and the seaside promenade.

Therefore, once the New World Center is developed, the development of Tsim Sha Tsui East will be further improved.
