Chapter 471 Diversification of Production Capacity
In the blink of an eye, a week has passed.
During this period, many media have been focusing on the relief issues of the June 12th floods. The Hong Kong government is also facing huge pressure and has to invest funds. Fortunately, the real estate market has recovered in the past six months. Let the Hong Kong government's finances be a little better.
Benefiting from the huge investment of Changxing Group in this matter, the sales of Oriental Daily also skyrocketed. The highest daily sales exceeded 50,000, and subsequently stabilized at just over 40,000, making it the number one sales volume in Hong Kong. newspapers;
However, the second and third places are also very close to this result. This is almost the limit of 3.5 million people in Hong Kong. Only when the population increases and the economy becomes stronger in the future will the daily sales figures further promote.
The same goes for TVB. Large-scale coverage has made the Cheung Hing Charity Foundation the most dazzling company in Hong Kong. A large number of appearances have even made Lin Haoyu a popular figure. At the same time, many people have gone to the Cheung Hsing Charity Foundation's website to make donations< br>
“Yang Wendong is so generous after donating 2 million Hong Kong dollars. He bought so many supplies and estimated that he helped tens of thousands of people and saved at least dozens of lives.”
A food stall Inside, many people were discussing while eating hot pot.
“Yes, 50 people died on the day of the flood, but the Hong Kong government definitely did not report the full number or they did not know some of them. If the rescue is not effective at this time, it is estimated that many people will die, especially some The elderly, children or injured. "
"So I said that Yang Sheng is the Nanhai Bodhisattva. I heard that if someone is killed or seriously injured due to the flood, their family members can get a long-term and stable job in Changxing Group? ”
"So good? Isn't the job of Changxing Group easy?"
"It probably depends on ability. There is a high probability that they are ordinary workers or cleaners and security guards."
"Let me go. It’s good to be a security guard.”
“That’s right. For special groups, don’t think about it. It’s very difficult to get into Changxing Group now.”
“Yes, but this ham sausage is so delicious. I didn’t expect it to taste better in hot pot. And this instant noodles is delicious when cooked in a hot pot. ”
"Then if we buy more instant noodles and ham sausages in the future, it can be regarded as indirect charity?"
"Okay, I heard that TVB is going to hold a concert and all the tickets will be donated. How about we go and see it too?" ”
“Okay, TVB has a lot of people’s songs, I still like them. ."
In Prince's Building, Central, Pao Yugang looked at the newspaper in his hand, and then said: "Aaron, go to the Cheung Hing Charity Fund and tell me that I, Pao Yugang, will donate one million Hong Kong dollars."
As he spoke, he wrote a few 0's on a check
After Aaron took the check, he said: "Okay, but don't you just give it to Yang Wendong in person?"
"No need, just give the money. What should I do?" Bao Yugang shook his head and said: " During this period of time, it is better for everyone to keep a low profile. It is estimated that if it were not for this flood, Many people were killed in the disaster, and many people were left homeless. The Hong Kong government did not do enough to help, so Yang Wendong would definitely not be so high-profile. Over time, not to mention the Chinese capital in Hong Kong, the British capital and even the Hong Kong government have become low-key.
June 23rd.
Yang Wendong looked at the account book and said in surprise: "Bao Yugang, Guo Linshuang, and Zheng Yutong also donated money. It seems that they are also serious."
"It's also because you provided such an opportunity, Brother Dong. Otherwise, they just want to help the victims, but there is no channel. Although the Hong Kong government has done something, it is difficult to do it well." Lin Haoyu said with a smile.
Yang Wendong shook his head: "This kind of thing is not done well. Even we can't do it perfectly. We can only say how much we can do."
Natural disasters are very big. It happens within the scope at the same time, and it is difficult for anyone to rescue everyone immediately. In the past life, in the mainland, the army could provide disaster relief much faster, but in many overseas countries, the army did not have the obligation to provide disaster relief.
Lin Haoyu said: "We can save as much as we can. Brother Dong, you have tried your best."
"Well, now that the water has receded, basic food and drink are also provided to the victims. , they can only rely on themselves for the rest." Yang Wendong added: "Your next task is to see if there are any very poor families affected by the disaster, and then provide appropriate help."
Lin Haoyu asked: "What standard is it?"
Yang Wendong said: "Let's use the standard of not being able to survive, and then give priority to helping children, the elderly, the disabled, etc., or you cooperate with Watsons, Changxingshi Industry, Carrefour, provide some simple jobs."
"Okay." Lin Haoyu nodded and said: "By the way, Brother Dong, I talked to an official from the Hong Kong government yesterday, and he said that the Hong Kong government is ready. Invested in flood prevention "
"Flood prevention? It should have been done a long time ago." Yang Wendong said with a smile: "The Hong Kong government is like this. It only knows how to invest after it has learned a lesson. It was the same with the previous drought. It refused to divert water from the mainland, and the result was losses. With enough money, we can build several large water storage reservoirs in Hong Kong.”
Actually, Hong Kong is not short of rain. Just like this time, if the rain had been stored in 1963, there would have been a drought.
A long time ago, if the Hong Kong government invested a little in building reservoirs every year, over the course of many years, even if there was a drought, it would not be so serious. Eventually, in an emergency, the project of bringing Dongjiang water into Hong Kong would have to be started, and then all the fresh water in Hong Kong would be consumed. The mainland is under control. This is a situation that Hong Kong British has always avoided, but it was brought about by himself.
Lin Haoyu said: "It's good to start now. I hope there won't be such a disaster in the future." "I hope so." Yang Wendong nodded,
The Hong Kong government is actually pretty good in some aspects. Yes, at least we corrected our mistakes, and we have done some practical things over the years. At least Hong Kong society is getting better and better, but it is just not as good as in the previous life.
However, a bigger real estate crisis is coming soon, and it is estimated that nothing you want to do at that time will be possible.
On June 26, the impact of the floods gradually receded, and the Hong Kong media began to shift the content of their reports. After all, the popularity of any event is limited.
Changxing Group’s losses from the floods have been gradually accounted for, and they have begun to gradually recover. This impact is not big, but it also illustrates the importance of diversifying production bases.
On this day, Yang Wendong summoned Wei Zetao, Zheng Zhijie, and Fang Xianming to taste Maxim's pastries and some imported fruits in his office, and negotiate some matters.
"Old Wei, the factory in Singapore has been in operation for three months, and there are no problems so far. Then we will continue to increase investment and build factories there." Yang Wendong said: "We also need to consider things like floods. , occur near Hong Kong or the Wanwan factory, or other disasters
In short, we must ensure that even if there is a problem in one place, production can remain normal, otherwise the market may be lost. ”
In fact, if Singapore had not been founded in mid-1965, and the Bay Area had been under a policy of strictly restricting foreign investment in the past few years, it would have gone overseas to build factories. In the next few years, Hong Kong's production capacity will inevitably be affected, so what we need to do now Be prepared for capacity transfer.
"Okay." Wei Zetao agreed: "The Singapore government also welcomes our investment."
"This is the best." Yang Wendong nodded: "But Lao Zheng's side We must also cooperate with Changxing Industrial. Our investment is a factory that is pollution-free and can generate a large number of jobs. We cannot give Singapore a free price. You must take the opportunity to acquire more high-quality land and build office buildings. "
Zheng Zhijie agreed. He said: "No problem, but are we just building ordinary office buildings?"
"Yes, ordinary ones will be fine. The purpose now is the same as when we bought land in Hong Kong in 1959." Yang Wendong said: "From the government The land we get does not need to be high, as long as it is available. At present, funds are limited, and we do not need to invest too much in building high-rise buildings. The Four Seasons Hotel and Changxing Plaza are special projects, and the others can be kept ordinary. "
Anywhere, when the land price is not valuable, the funds should be used to buy land and build ordinary houses. This is because the government land must be developed, otherwise it is more cost-effective to leave it empty.
After the land price has doubled several times, he will mortgage it to build a building, and then collect rent to pay off the debt. A perfect cycle is formed
"I understand." Zheng Zhijie nodded and said: "In addition to using Changxing Industrial to obtain land from the government, I can also directly acquire existing properties in Singapore. After acquisition, these properties do not need to be moved. They can be operated according to the original model. "
"Okay." Yang Wendong agreed: "Now that land prices in Hong Kong have begun to fall again, I am not very optimistic about it. I will not consider investing in Hong Kong this year. I will gradually invest my funds in Singapore. If the loan is not enough, I will transfer funds from companies such as Changxing Industrial and Changxing Shipping.”
Over the years, Changxing Industrial's profits have been very high. Although many of them have been transferred by Yang Wendong to develop other industries, several other industries have gradually been able to operate on their own in the past two years. Therefore, whether it is the group or several larger subsidiaries, they have But they all have a lot of cash.
Although Hong Kong also needed to buy the bottom in 1967, it is not as if nothing is done now. Real estate in Singapore is also appreciating. Especially when there is a large outflow of funds from Hong Kong, Singapore is the place that takes over the most. In this way, your investment will appreciate faster and be of higher quality, and it can also be used as collateral. And then invest in Hong Kong.
Zheng Zhijie smiled and said: "That would be the best."
Changxing Real Estate made very low achievements last year because it did not invest on a large scale in Hong Kong. This year It would also be great if we could go to Singapore to grow bigger. Hong Kong's bigger companies also want to go overseas.
Yang Wendong asked again: "How are the negotiations with the Hong Kong government about the undersea tunnel project?"
Zheng Zhijie said: "It has been decided to build a tunnel from Hung Hom to the port. There is still a dispute over the land at the tunnel entrance. What I want is one million square feet on both sides. The Hong Kong government disagrees and thinks it is too much. It is only willing to give 80 Ten thousand feet."
"200 and 80? The gap is indeed a bit big." Yang Wendong smiled and said, "Just wait. Wait, let’s put this issue aside for now, and let’s discuss technical issues and future charging operations;
If the real estate market plummets again, the Hong Kong government will give in.”
1967. In the year, Hong Kong and Britain planned to run away. It was not until the mainland finally expressed its stance that things returned to normal.
During this period of time, there was too much space for him to operate. Not only the undersea tunnel, but also many other opportunities, he couldn't wait.
At this time, Fang Xianming said: "Yang Sheng, the share price of Kinmen Group has begun to fall recently. Do we need to acquire it now?"
"No need yet." Yang Wendong shook his head: "We can wait a moment. Okay, but we can contact their shareholders appropriately, but don’t reveal our identity, just tell them that we are interested in acquiring their shares, but your price will be Lower, preferably no premium.
Just let them know that there is an outside consortium interested in acquiring Golden Gate Group shares."
Fang Xianming said worriedly: "Yang Sheng, contact us like this. , the board of directors of Golden Gate Group may know.”
“It doesn’t matter if we know,” Yang Wendong said without any concern.
If that time comes, it is estimated that these British directors will be the fastest.
