Chapter 149: Meeting the Beauty Again and the Real Estate Plan
Another week passed, and with the combined factors of the mortgage and Yang Wendong, an old customer, Liao Chuangxing Bank quickly succeeded in lending.
Yang Wendong invested a total of 150,000 Hong Kong dollars and took over a 12,000-square-foot land on the edge of Central, near the Admiralty. As for the buildings on it, he didn't care.
Subsequently, Yang Wendong came here with several people headed by Qin Zhiye. They will all be senior officials of Hong Kong China Daily in the future.
After walking around inside and outside, Yang Wendong asked: "What do you think of this place?"
One person said: "The area is very large. If it were all used by us, it would probably be much larger than the headquarters of Ta Kung Pao."
"The area is large enough, but the house is a bit too old." Yang Wendong smiled and said: "What do you think?"
Others also said: "In fact, there is nothing wrong with being old. Many newspapers in Hong Kong are similar."
" Well." Yang Wendong asked again: "When will the German equipment arrive?"
"This kind of equipment needs to be customized, so it will be a little later." However, a few of us can also make various preparations in the early stage, including applying for newspaper numbers, contacting many newsstand channels in Hong Kong, and building the entire staff organization structure.
These also take some time, and the equipment is fully available. "
Yang Wendong nodded and said, "Is this house okay if it's a little later? "
"What does Yang Sheng mean? "Qin Zhiye is also a smart man, and he quickly understood what his boss meant: "Do you want to demolish it and rebuild it? "
Yang Wendong said: "Yes, this house is already too old. Even if you live in it, you will probably have to rebuild or change places in a few years. So you might as well do it all at once while you have time now.
Otherwise, when the scale becomes larger and the business is running, it will be too troublesome to suddenly move. ”
Although Hong Kong China Daily will be far less profitable than Changxing Industrial in the future, the meaning is not measured by money.
A lot of things will happen in Hong Kong society in the next few decades. Having a newspaper with considerable sales will be of great help to him.
Even newspapers are just the beginning of the media industry. You must know that the media industry in Hong Kong is still in a semi-barbaric era.
In addition to newspapers, there are only two radio stations and a cable TV station. There will be many other opportunities in the future.
Now that housing prices are cheap, and I have bought a large piece of land, I naturally decided to make the headquarters of the future media industry look better, at least to ensure that it will be sufficient for use in the next few years.
"That's fine." Qin Zhiye was naturally moved, as were everyone else. Who wouldn't want to work in the new office building? The environment is good, the mood is good, and the work efficiency is high.
Yang Wendong said: "Okay, Lao Qin, I'll leave this matter to you. Contact several construction companies and ask them to provide the best utilization plan. We will negotiate then."
"Okay." Qin Zhiye nodded, and then asked: "It's just that before the house is built, although our newspaper office is in the preparation period, we still need a place to work. What if there is no place?"
Yang Wendong After thinking for a while, he said: "Let's go to Tsim Sha Tsui for the time being. I'll find a place for you there. The environment is a bit worse, but it's only for a short period of time. How about all employees paying an additional one-time seaport subsidy?" < br>
"Okay, as long as there is a place." Qin Zhiye smiled and said, "It will only take a few months, just wait until the new house is built."
"Well, let's do this for now. There's no need to look here. Let's go to Tsim Sha Tsui to find a temporary place first." Yang Wendong paused and said, "We need to get in touch quickly here."
" Okay." Qin Zhiye agreed.
After that, Qin Zhiye and others said goodbye and left. They needed to do their own things and finish them early so that the newspaper could open early and reflect the value of their group.
Yang Wendong went to stroll around a building in Central, while the two bodyguards stayed far away. Although Hong Kong is chaotic, there are British giants behind the buildings in Central. No one should dare not The long-sighted ones are causing trouble here.
The buildings of this era are still different from those of Wanda in the previous life. There are also some small shops around the interior. Even if they sell high-end cosmetics, the stores are not very big and the stores are also very messy. Clothing stores Opened together with cosmetics stores and even pet stores, the mall itself seems to have no planning at all.
Unknowingly, Yang Wendong walked to the door of a small commodity store. He was just passing by, but when he looked inside inadvertently, he found a familiar figure.
"Bai Yujie or Bai Yushan?" Yang Wendong looked a little unsure as he looked at the young college student in a white skirt picking out cosmetics.
Afterwards, he looked for Zhuzhu and observed it for a while, and finally confirmed that it was probably the weaker sister, so he walked forward and said with a smile: "Bai Yushan?"
"Huh? "When Bai Yushan heard her name, she quickly looked up and saw Yang Wendong, and said in surprise: "Yang Sheng, why are you here?"
Yang Wendong said with a smile: "Walking around here, what are you buying? ?”
Bai Yushan said: "I just came here to take a look. It's too hot outside. I stopped by to buy some small things. By the way, this thing is your company's product, right? I searched several stores before I found one that had it in stock."
I saw her taking out a hanging sticky hook from a shelf.
Yang Wendong nodded after seeing it and said: "Yes, it's from Deli."
Bai Yushan smiled and said: "Yang Sheng's inventive ability is really amazing. This little thing looks like It’s simple, but only after it appeared did we realize how useful it is.”
Yang Wendong said with a smile: “I rely on this ability to make a living. Without this approach, it would not be easy to do ordinary business in a place like Hong Kong. .”
"Indeed, most people who want to expand their companies take ten years as a unit. Yang Sheng's speed can be said to be unprecedented." Bai Yushan nodded, and then said: "This Sticky hooks are not easy to buy recently. It seems that the supply exceeds the demand? "
Yang Wendong said: "When sticky hooks were first released, they were sold in Hong Kong. They were easy to buy at that time. Now they are mainly supplied to Japan. And in some Southeast Asian regions, production capacity is a bit insufficient.”
Although we have already made preparations to increase production capacity through outsourcing, even this will take some time.
The characteristics of sticky hooks are more attractive in places with a better economy, especially in Japan, where they sell very well;
In this way, although Hong Kong has not been cut off goods, but certainly not as good as before when they were only available separately.
"So that's it. Congratulations to Yang." Bai Yushan lifted her hair and said with a smile.
Yang Wendong said again: "If you need it, I'll have someone give it to you next time."
"Okay." Bai Yushan smiled and said, "Actually, it's not that I need it. , a few are enough for me. My dad’s company is engaged in decoration. Workers often need to change working places, and some things need to be hung at any time.
In the past, holes were drilled in the wall. Yes, it’s inconvenient. It’s much easier now that we have sticky hooks.”
“No wonder you haven’t bought it for so long.” Yang Wendong finally understood and said, “Then I’ll prepare 200. ? Enough? ”
"That's enough." Bai Yushan said with a smile: "But I still have to pay." Yang Wendong shrugged and said, "I didn't say it was free?"
Everyone doesn't For those who are short of money, it doesn’t really matter if it’s free or not. It doesn’t matter if the price is ten times more expensive. However, it can be free when it should be free, such as treating you to dinner, playing, etc. But for other things, it would be too deliberate to make it free.
"Haha, yes." Bai Yushan said with a smile.
Yang Wendong looked at his watch and said, "It's noon. Has Miss Bai eaten?"
"No." Bai Yushan smiled and said, "How about I treat you to a meal? I know there is a restaurant in this building that serves delicious Cantonese food."
Yang Wendong nodded and asked, "Can Cantonese food be good? "But why did you invite me?"
Bai Yushan said with a smile: "Just think of it as a celebration of finding a job."
"You found a job?" "Yang Wendong?" Curiously asked: "That means you are not going to study abroad?"
Bai Yushan nodded and said: "Yes, I have thought about it comprehensively. It will take at least three more years to study abroad. It is not interesting, and I don’t really like being surrounded by ghosts;
So last month I went to HSBC for an interview, and I was going to start work officially on Monday the day after tomorrow, but it was still an internship. ”
“Congratulations on being able to join HSBC. "Yang Wendong said with a smile.
In this era, HSBC is not yet the largest financial group in Hong Kong. Jardine Matheson can still beat HSBC, but the two are about the same level;
However, in the banking field, it is definitely still number one.
Of course, HSBC has not yet established an advantage over Standard Chartered.
Bai Yushan smiled and said: "If Yang Sheng wants to do finance, you can come to me. With your current reputation, HSBC will definitely be willing to cooperate with you."
"Finance? Futures?" Yang Wendong asked back .
Bai Yushan said: "Futures, foreign exchange, or simply buying stocks will do. Or some companies will raise funds through the stock market, and Yang Sheng can also participate."
"Oh, Have any big companies participated in financing recently?" As the two walked and chatted, Yang Wendong also became a little interested in finance.
A few months ago, his main focus was still on the factory. Now these are basically the same. Although the production capacity is not enough yet, the entire enterprise can already cycle itself.
As Hong Kong's economy is now taking off, he also wants to know more about the outside world.
Bai Yushan thought for a while and said: "There are many recent largest financings, such as Bank of East Asia, Whampoa Group, Wing On Bank, Mingde Bank, Lee Seng Bank.
Also There are a lot of others that I can’t remember right now.”
“There are more banks?” Yang Wendong did some calculations and found that 50% of them were banks.
Bai Yushan nodded and said: "Yes, banks in Hong Kong are very short of funds recently, mainly because land prices have begun to rise, and many real estate companies are borrowing large amounts of money.
And many depositors will withdraw cash to buy houses. This has caused many small banks to be short of money, so they raise funds through the stock market. ”
“There don’t seem to be many listed real estate companies now, right? Yang Wendong asked again: "Why don't real estate companies go public?" ”
He didn’t pay special attention to real estate companies, because the large-scale ones are still British-owned, and there are also many Chinese-owned companies of this kind, but they have not yet become popular.
< br>Bai Yushan shook her head and said: "I haven't researched this. It seems that it's not that the exchange is unwilling to introduce real estate companies, but that many real estate companies are unwilling to go public, especially Chinese real estate companies. "
"It's normal. If it were me, I wouldn't go public. Yang Wendong smiled and said.
The two also came to the dining place and chatted while looking at the menu.
Bai Yushan thought for a while and said: "Yes, the Chinese don't seem to like things like listing. My dad is the same way. Even the shares are very tight. I would rather be smaller than Are you willing to join a joint venture with others? "
Yang Wendong said with a smile: "Joint ventures are still appropriate. If your company's capital is not willing to be split, you can jointly jointly invest in a certain project;
This way. Not only can he guarantee his own equity, but he can also use other people's funds to develop projects."
"Yang Sheng also knows a lot about real estate development?" Bai Yushan asked curiously: "Do you also want to get involved? Real estate industry? ”
"Not for the time being." Yang Wendong smiled and said: "But I may invest in some properties, hold them for a long time, and then use them myself or rent them out."
Bai Yushan asked again: "For the time being?, that is "You said you will also do real estate business in the future?"
"Probably." Yang Wendong nodded. Although Hong Kong is not big, this real estate business has created several wealth giants in Asia in the future.
As a time traveler who is familiar with the history of real estate cycles, he can completely use the Hong Kong real estate market as a cash machine, and even the stock market.
As for the industrial aspect, he will naturally not give up, but if he only looks at profits, unless he reaches the top level in the world in a certain field, it is absolutely impossible to compare with the Hong Kong real estate market.
Bai Yushan said with a smile: "My family is a decoration company. If you are in real estate in the future, you have to take care of it."
"It's no problem if the price is cheap." Yang Wendong said with a smile.
"That's for sure, our price and quality are absolutely no problem." Bai Yushan said.
Yang Wendong asked again: "Why doesn't your family do real estate?"
"Maybe it's because my dad is more conservative. When doing decoration, unless the real estate company goes bankrupt, he won't lose money. "Bai Yushan explained: "In real estate, if housing prices fall later, bank loans will easily crush the company.
In the past few years, there were many such things in Hong Kong. ”
“Yes. "Yang Wendong smiled. Real estate profits are high, but the risks are also high. When using bank funds with leverage, once the land price plummets, it will be over.
In the past life, several major real estate tycoons in Hong Kong were survivors. The products after the impact, in the decades of their rise, countless companies went bankrupt because of the wrong timing
