Director of Rebirth of Xiangjiang

Chapter 490 Two Strong Women (23) Subscribe
Now there are several strong women in DreamWorks, Xi Meng and Li Xue are the representatives. Under Zhao Hong's instruction, Xi Meng pays great attention to the hotels in the mainland.

It has been planned to develop urban characteristic hotels in Xi'an, Nanjing, Hangzhou, Suzhou and other major cities. This is the same as the courtyard hotel in the capital and the Shili foreign hotel in the magic city. They are all digging out the unique characteristics of each city.

In Xi'an, it is necessary to imitate a group of buildings in the Tang Dynasty, based on the antique flavor, mixed with modern facilities, and create a hotel with the culture of the Tang Dynasty.

As for Nanjing, which is the ancient capital of the Six Dynasties, it is not easy to build a cultural hotel here. Here, a high-end hotel is built based on the architecture of the Ming Dynasty. As for Hangzhou, it is mainly to build a hotel with There are quaint hotels.

As for Suzhou, where gardens are so famous, DreamWorks also bought a lot of gardens to be demolished here to build a hotel. It can be said that apart from these four places, other places are also under planning.

All the hotels are unique hotels based on local conditions. These Zhao Hong just put forward a plan, and Xi Meng is the executor of it.

She quite agrees with Zhao Hong's plan, and she is acting vigorously. There are currently four hotels under construction in the Mainland, and more than a dozen are planned. It is planned to build at least [-] such super hotels in the Mainland.

Because these hotels are very sophisticated, the materials they choose are not ordinary goods. For example, many antique buildings use materials purchased from Southeast Asia. There are many good woods in Southeast Asia, such as mahogany, paulownia, sandalwood and so on.

The prices for these are not too expensive at this stage, but they are not a small amount. This year, the cost of materials alone cost 20 billion Hong Kong dollars. The profit earned by the Peninsula Hotel this year is also not cheap.

Therefore, the hotel group can barely reach a balance of payments in the first year, and the head office will invest heavily in the next year.

The purchase of materials started a few years ago. The company has several storage plants in the Mainland and Xiangjiang. The reason for this is to ensure that the hotel does not lack raw materials when it expands.

Furthermore, Zhao Hong also knows that the prices of these raw materials remain the same every year, and their value increases at an alarming rate. Anyone who buys them will not lose money.

In fact, the value of timber in Southeast Asia is not very high now. The main reason is that the economy in the Mainland has not yet developed, there are not many local tyrants, and there are not many timber speculators, and many Western timber merchants in the world are not interested in the timber here. Very interested.

Timber resources in places such as the Americas and Europe are quite abundant, so there is no need for them to travel all the way to Asia for timber, after all, the transportation cost is not low.

What I want to say is that although DreamWorks Shipping Company has only been established for more than a year, its income is quite good. There are more than 30 ships, large and small, which are a bit too busy for DreamWorks' own business alone.

Just transporting timber is a lucrative job, back and forth between Xiangjiang, the mainland and Southeast Asian countries. These routes are short, safe, and earn a lot of money.

This makes the shipping company's dozens of ships rotate the money needed for maintenance, all of which are earned by the shipping company itself, so there is still a slight surplus for a year, which is quite good.

Zhao Hong has reasons to believe that the shipping company will earn more and more money next year, and the company has also passed the running-in stage and can start to develop rapidly.

Zhao Hong feels that setting up a shipping company is really a wonderful move, and it seems that in a few years, he will also be the king of the ship.

Bao Daheng and the others are able to achieve such a great reputation in the world, which is inseparable from their title of ship king.

Zhao Hong found that Xi Meng was too aggressive in doing things, and many things could be delayed according to Zhao Hong's intention, but he just didn't want to, and all the projects of the Peninsula Hotel were required to be executed quickly.

This made Zhao Hong a little embarrassed!
As for Li Xue, she is not bad at all. Ever since she took over Dabao Beauty Company, the beauty company has been in a state of expansion.

In this case, the company's profits are still rising at a rate of 50.00%. As long as there are beauty salons in places where DreamWorks has buildings, this move is a good thing for DreamWorks.

The beauty salon company bought two floors of the buildings that DreamWorks built in various places, which brought an astronomical amount of cash to DreamWorks, which allowed DreamWorks head office to arrange many large-scale projects calmly, such as the construction of automobile factories , MTR projects, infrastructure facilities in Tin Shui Wai, etc.

Li Xue also harassed Zhao Hong from time to time, mainly to ask Zhao Hong to write a few formulas for the beauty company. Now the company has more than 20 kinds of beauty products.

Each one is super popular and the company is making a lot of money.

The investment of beauty companies in the mainland is not a small amount. At this stage, there are corresponding medicinal material bases all over the country, but the main distribution is still in the southwest.

The Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau is cloudy and rainy, and the temperature is not low. Under these conditions, it is suitable for the growth of many medicinal materials, and the medicinal efficacy is not low. In addition, there are also many medicinal material bases in the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, HLJ and other places.

These investments are no less than 700 billion Hong Kong dollars. This is the largest investment from Hong Kong capital in the Mainland so far, and even China World Trade Center cannot keep up.

I don't know how many farmers have benefited from these investments, at least several million families have benefited.

Zhao Hong always thought that his investment in the mainland was not too much, but he was surprised when he calculated it carefully.

The total investment of DreamWorks and Dabao in the mainland is no less than 500 billion Hong Kong dollars, and this number is increasing year by year.

For a beauty company, no amount of medicinal materials is too much. The company is still stepping up the establishment of medicinal material bases in various places in the mainland. The company has a great demand for herbal natural medicinal materials.

This is mainly because the company does not use synthetic medicinal materials like other beauty companies. All the medicines of its own company are pure natural, and Zhao Hong's prescriptions are all the essence of concentrated medicines.

This will lead to the company's dependence on medicinal materials.

In the process of setting up medicinal material bases, the company has often been misunderstood by local farmers. The land has only been in their hands for a few years, and everyone's attachment to the land is quite deep.

At this time, the government also helped a lot in publicity. In fact, the government also has shares in the medicinal material bases in the mainland. Although the company earns a little less, many things are easier to handle.

What Zhao Hong pursues is that everyone earns money, and win-win cooperation is the bond to maintain friendly relations.

The leaders in the mainland are quite satisfied with this point. They find that they can save worry and effort by working with DreamWorks on projects and earn less money.

This is very different from other Hong Kong capitals making things difficult. In fact, many times they want to give DreamWorks and Dabao preferential policies, but they don't need them, and they can do as much as they want.

It can be said that it is relatively easy for Zhao Hong to do anything in the mainland now, and his influence in the mainland must be ranked among the top three among Xiangjiang people.

Even Li Chaoren can't compare to him. Li Chaoren is now a little vacillating between the British government and the mainland. Although he benefits from both sides, he does not have a good image for the leaders of the mainland.

Although Zhao Hong has never stood in line, his actual actions have not been compromised at all, and he has spared no effort in supporting the mainland.

It's not that Zhao Hong has not received hints from the Hong Kong government to invest more in England, but the effect has been minimal.

He looked down on England as a small place. The market was too small. Apart from doing monopoly business, it was really not easy to make a lot of money.
