The bragging ended and the reception began. Many people came to communicate with Hardy, including people from the four major foreign companies, which own a large number of industries in Hong Kong, including power companies, water supply companies, construction, real estate, shipping, airports, retail, banks, hotels, Insurance, etc., can be described as deeply entrenched.

In the past two years, the Hardy Group has invested heavily in Hong Kong, making them very worried about whether their business will be robbed.

But they don't have the courage to use dirty means to stop it.

Now there is no other way. The Hardy Group has acquired HSBC. HSBC is the most important bank in Hong Kong. The four foreign banks also have shares in HSBC. Now they can only seek cooperation.

And now many people are full of worries about the future of Hong Kong. When the president of Jardine Matheson was chatting with Hardy, he asked: Mr. Hardy, the current situation is unstable. If you invest heavily in Hong Kong at this time, are you not afraid of major changes? ?”

The major change he was referring to was naturally a call from the north, and Hong Kong was taken back.

Hardy smiled lightly, No one is 100% sure about investing in this kind of thing. I know that people in Hong Kong are unstable now, and many investors have withdrawn from Hong Kong.

But this is also a good time to invest, isn't it? You can buy high-quality assets at a lower price. If you win the bet, my income will increase several times. If you lose the bet, then I am willing to accept the bet and withdraw from Hong Kong obediently. .”

Hardy, the boss of a large American conglomerate, invests heavily in Hong Kong. Some people speculate whether the American Congress will have a hand in Hong Kong affairs, which is why he dares to invest here.

Now Hardy told them he was just taking a gamble.

This answer disappointed a lot of people.

Hardy is rich,

It may not matter if the investment fails, but this may not be the case for other businesses, who dare not take such a big risk.

Hardy chuckled inwardly.

It is to make you fear, so that you will sell assets, and I can receive them in large sums at the lowest price.

And on the other side.

Han Yezhen is surrounded by a group of ladies. As the female companion of the guest of honor tonight, Han Yezhen has also attracted much attention. No matter what her current status is, being able to be brought to a reception of this size by Mr. Hardy means that her identity is recognized of.

These people intentionally or unintentionally inquired about Han Yezhen's identity.

Later, I learned that Han Yezhen grew up in the United States, and her parents are university professors. No one dares to look down on such a family here.

As for her now, she is the head of the Hardy Group auction company, and she came to Hong Kong to build a museum.

certainly,

Han Yezhen's greatest identity is Hardy's woman.

The women gathered around Han Yezhen, chatting about what is popular now, how to wear clothes, makeup brands and so on.

This is the woman's circle.

When Hardy was chatting with others, a middle-aged Chinese man stood beside him. When Hardy finished chatting with the person opposite, the man immediately said, I met Mr. Hardy.

Mr. Dong Haoyun?

Ah, Mr. Hardy, do you know me? Dong Haoyun was very surprised.

Hardy smiled, I have read your information, we are partners, the global shipping in your hand is now the largest shipping company in East Asia, I hope you will work hard to develop it.

It is said that the partner is actually Hadi who gave the other side face. Hadi holds 70% of the shares of Global Shipping and has an absolute controlling stake.

I will definitely work hard to develop global shipping. Dong Haoyun quickly responded.

Hadi Shipping now has 6 shipping companies with routes all over the world. In the future, I hope to cooperate with them. I am confident that the future shipping group will develop into the world's largest shipping consortium. Hardy said.

Dong Haoyun was very excited when he heard this.

Halfway through the reception,

Ge Lianghong asked Hardy to smoke a cigar. The two came to the courtyard and chatted while looking at the night scene, Mr. Hardy, the government welcomes you to invest in Hong Kong. If you are interested in any industry in Hong Kong and need help, you can contact me. Say.

Hardy smiled.

Mr. Governor, do I really need your help?

Oh, what is it?

Buying land, the group wants to build and needs to buy more land. I know that the government still has a lot of land in its hands, and I hope to buy some for construction. Hadi said.

I remember that Victor has bought a lot of land, isn't it enough? Ge Lianghong asked in surprise.

To be honest, I am very optimistic about Hong Kong's geographical location. I want to build more factories here, so that the products produced can cover half of Asia. According to my plan, that little land is not enough. You know, Mr. Governor, sometimes A large enterprise needs thousands of acres of land.”

Hardy said foolishly.

In fact, the location of Hong Kong is not suitable for industry at all. Without any resources, the cost of industry will be greatly increased.

The reason why Hong Kong became an industrial production area for a period of time was entirely due to domestic factors. When the domestic reform and opening up was carried out, the favorable factors disappeared, and it immediately shrank rapidly.

Hardy's purpose is to hoard land.

Now people are not so enthusiastic about hoarding land, mainly because the real estate industry in Hong Kong has not yet developed. The real real estate boom in Hong Kong will not be until the 1960s and 1970s, so Ge ​​Lianghong did not think that Hardy wanted land for hoarding .

Although a lot of land in Hong Kong is privately owned, most of it is still in the hands of the government. Hardy hopes to acquire more land in the hands of Gregory Hong.

I can promise you this. Let the director of the land management department contact Victor later, and you can see if there are any suitable plots. Ge Lianghong said.

He naturally supports investment in the development of Hong Kong.

There is one more thing. I want to build a new racecourse, and I hope to jointly operate it with the Hong Kong Jockey Club. Hardy said.

You want to run a horse racing betting business? Ge Lianghong frowned slightly.

Nowadays, there is only one racecourse in Happy Valley in Hong Kong, and many horse races are held every year. The current horse races are very different from those of later generations. The current horse clubs are mainly Europeans. They implement a membership system. It was not until the 1920s that they absorbed Two Chinese.

As for horse racing betting, it is not as developed as in the later generations. There are only some big horse tickets, which are occasionally played by people, and they are mainly concentrated in the upper circles. It has not yet reached the age when people are crazy about buying horses.

In many Hong Kong movies, there are many scenes of horse racing. It can be said that horse racing has penetrated into Hong Kong life later. It did not evolve until the Sha Tin Racecourse was built in the late 1970s, and the number of races increased, allowing ordinary people to start playing horse racing.

Ge Lianghong knew that Hardy was not only a rich man, but also a gambling tycoon. He ran the largest casino in the United States.

Is this an attempt to extend the gambling industry to Hong Kong?

Regarding the gambling industry, the British government and the Hong Kong side are more cautious. They know that gambling is harmful and will make many people get something for nothing. They don't want that to happen.

I don't plan to let the racecourse get involved in the gaming industry for the time being. I just want to open a racecourse and have fun with friends. Even if the racecourse is built, it will follow the regulations of the Hong Kong Island government. Hardy said with a smile.

Only then did Ge Lianghong breathe a sigh of relief.

That's no problem. On behalf of the Hong Kong Island government, I can agree that Mr. Hardy's racecourse will join the Jockey Club Club. Grantham said.

Hardy expressed his thanks.

It doesn’t matter if you disagree now, the world is changing, and after the racecourse is completed, I can slowly promote the development of the horse racing industry.

As for the real gambling industry, Hardy plans to go back to Macau, which is the focus of his development of the gambling industry.

The straight-line distance between Macau and Hong Kong is only 62 kilometers, and you can get there by ferry in one hour. Now Macau is not one of the four major gambling cities, and there are no super-large casinos. If Hardy invested in the construction of a casino comparable to the Hardy Hotel in the past, It can be called the benchmark of Macau.

The welcome reception ended, and Hadi and Han Yezhen returned to the villa.

night.

Han Yezhen is very proactive.

It is estimated that Hardy took her to the reception.

He even opened his mouth.

the next day.

Accompanied by Victor, Hardy checked the situation of the Kowloon Tong Industrial Zone. Now the Kowloon Tong Industrial Zone has been connected to water circuits, dozens of factories have settled in, and even more than a dozen factories have opened for production.

The factories here are all jointly established by the Hardy Group and others, and the factory land used is also owned by the Hardy Group.

Therefore, these factories have to pay a rent to Hardy Hong Kong Real Estate Company every year, but overall it is not expensive.

Hardy did this mostly to keep the land in his hands.

Rubber shoe factory.

The boss Chen Xiangsheng accompanied Hardy to inspect, and Victor followed behind. Chen Xiangsheng was cautious and respectful. Although he is the boss here, he only has 30% of the shares. He is the big boss and he is a part-time worker.

Hardy picked up a pair of galoshes and looked at them.

There is not much difference from the rubber shoes of later generations. Hardy knows that the large-scale production of these rubber shoes did not start until the 1950s in China. Later, the army wore them for 50 years.

These shoes are strong and cheap.

It is not only used by the army, but also by ordinary people.

In addition to this kind of rubber shoes, this factory also produces thicker rubber soles, which are hard rubber soles for leather military boots. This hard rubber sole can be used to make cloth cotton boots or leather cotton boots, suitable for winter wear.

However, this factory does not make whole shoes, but only sells hard rubber soles. If necessary, you can buy soles and go back to make cotton boots yourself.

In this factory, the machines are obsolete machines sold by the logistics department. They are all packaged and operated as a joint venture with others. It can produce 1.2 million pairs of rubber shoes and 1 million sets of rubber soles a year.

Is it easy to sell? Hardy asked.

It's easy to sell. It's very easy to sell. Many people in Hong Kong want it, and the mainland also wants it. The supply exceeds the demand. We are working overtime. Chen Xiangsheng quickly replied.

Where are these rubber soles?

Also booked out.

Are there enough raw materials? Hardy asked.

Enough, we have pressed raw materials for half a year. Chen Xiangsheng said.

Hardy put down his rubber shoes and said, I'll give you a suggestion. I'll press raw materials for at least two years. If you don't have enough money, you can find a bank loan. I can ask Wells Fargo to give you the lowest interest rate.

Chen Xiangsheng was a little surprised.

The raw materials that have been pressed for two years, boss, do you think the price of raw materials will increase in the future? Chen Xiangsheng asked.

The raw material you use is mainly rubber. Now that there are more and more cars, there are more and more places where rubber is used. In the past two years, because of the end of World War II, there has been a surplus of production for a while, and the price of rubber will drop. Sooner or later Go back up. Hardy said.

There is another reason that Hardy did not mention, that is, to buy more now, in 50 years, rubber will become a controlled product, and it will be troublesome to buy.

Hardy came to the toy factory again.

The equipment used to produce toys here is the equipment purchased by the toy factory that Hardy established HD Security in the past. It was later given to the Barbie doll factory. Now the Barbie doll factory has also replaced it with new equipment. These were eliminated and sent here.

It's really not wasted at all.

This factory is still dominated by Hardy Group.

certainly,

The molds have been changed, instead of producing ugly dolls, but mainly plastic cars. Hardy looked at the shapes and found that there are more than a dozen types, all imitating the more famous models in the world to create cartoon versions.

How did it go? Hardy asked.

We sent them to the United States. The sellers there like these cars very much, and we have a price advantage, so the sales are very good. The person in charge said.

How much can such a car make?

Excluding all expenses such as artificial water and electricity, one can earn about 30 Hong Kong dollars.

How much is the output?

There are ten million.

Hardy did a quick calculation in his mind, 10 million multiplied by 0.3 is 3 million Hong Kong dollars, which is almost 370,000 in U.S. dollars.

The money will be divided between the two.

This money is nothing to Hardy, but to these investors, it is definitely a good business, accounting for one-third of the shares, and earning millions of Hong Kong dollars a year. He is also a proper little rich man.

Then Hardy went to a few more.

Victor told Hardy that there are already bulb factories, wire factories, nail factories, wire factories, screw factories, cigarette factories, button factories, zipper factories, hose factories, ready-made shirt factories, plastic flower factories and so on.

A factory that produces radios and faucet valves is already considered a relatively high-tech enterprise.

Hardy smiled and said: It's okay, step by step, there will always be development, buy the land first.

Hardy has a deep love for the land.
