Chapter 472 The Beginning of Change
1967 was not just a real estate crisis, but the stock market was also the same. In the 1960s, many British companies benefited from going public to cut leeks. Now, it is cheaper for Yang Wendong. As long as he prepares the funds, even if he cannot acquire these companies due to Hong Kong government reasons and his own capital strength. company, but at least part of it can be invested in, so that it can be prepared for acquisitions in the 1970s.
But it's not the best time yet, you just need to wait, and there is too much turmoil during this period, so it's better to keep a low profile.
The time soon came to October, and the whole of Hong Kong was full of chaos. The Changxing Group kept a completely low profile. TVB and Oriental Daily and other mouthpieces did not broadcast much news about zz; if there was really hot news or had to If you want to report something, just describe the incident in one paragraph.
Affected by this, the sales of Oriental Daily and Hong Kong China Daily dropped slightly, and some tabloids gained considerable sales with various radical remarks; however, TVB was not affected as it is the only free TV station. , although Li's next door is also applying for a free wireless license, the process has not been completed yet.
Entertainment activities in Hong Kong are also continuing. The Miss Hong Kong election is more lively than last year because many people have actually seen the benefits gained by the previous Miss Hong Kong: houses, cars, stable high-income jobs, and opportunities to appear on TV and even movies, and even participated He has done several endorsement projects, and it is rumored that he earns close to 100,000 yuan a year. This figure is very tempting in today's Hong Kong.
On October 16, the 1966 Miss Hong Kong was also elected, along with the second runner-up and the third runner-up. They will also become the future flowers of TVB and Changxing Film Company.
On October 22, Bai Yujie also gave birth to a son in Kanghua Hospital. Since then, Yang Wendong has had a total of 6 children, 4 boys and 2 girls. The eldest son Yang Zhiwen is 6 years old.
With enough offspring, the Yang family also began to focus on education and began to train the next generation of heirs. Regardless of how capable they were, it was enough to be able to protect Yang Wendong's future industry.
In December, a cold wave from Siberia blew directly to Hong Kong, but it was not very cold. At most, you only needed to wear a cotton-padded jacket. Compared with the mainland, the temperature in Hong Kong in winter was much better. This is why many people in the mainland had The reason why I am more willing to work in the Pearl River Delta than in the Yangtze River Delta.
It has also started to rain lightly in the sky in Hong Kong. The downstairs of Cheung Hing Building used to have a lot of pedestrians, but today there are also a lot less people.
"Dong dong dong~" There was a knock on the door, and Yang Wendong turned around and said: "Come in."
After a while, Zheng Zhijie and Wei Zetao walked in. Yang Wendong pointed in the direction of the rest area and said: "Come, sit down."
"Thank you Yang Sheng." Zheng and Wei said.
After the three of them sat down, the assistant quickly brought the coffee. Yang Wendong said: "Two days ago, Governor Dai Linzhi and I sent someone to send me some coffee. It is from South America. It tastes pretty good. You should try it too."
Zheng Zhijie also took a sip and asked: "Yang Sheng, the Governor is looking for you, probably because of the Hung Hom Cross-Harbour Tunnel, right?"
"This is one of them. He also wants the Hung Hom Tunnel to be finalized as soon as possible." Yang Wendong nodded and said: "But the current real estate market has fallen even lower than the lowest level last year, and there is no trend of stopping. I don't want to stop it." It will be decided at this time.”
Since the middle of this year, housing prices in Hong Kong have been falling due to non-economic reasons. The growth rate that had finally risen in the first half of the year has fallen completely, and it has to be offset a little. Moreover, the decline caused by such factors cannot be explained by conventional logic. analytical.
The financial pressure on the Hong Kong government is naturally greater. Last year, fiscal revenue was negative. It finally increased a little in the first half of the year. However, in the second half of the year, there was a break again. In the second half of the year, the real estate auction was even more powerful. , no one wants to participate at all.
Under such circumstances, the Hong Kong government naturally hopes that Hong Kong society can regain some confidence, so it hopes that Yang Wendong will win the Hung Hom Cross-Harbour Tunnel as soon as possible. In this way, the Hong Kong government itself can also get a sum of money, and after boosting confidence, it may also be able to follow suit. Wave auction to earn a little.
"Everyone knows the Hong Kong government's plan, but we are not stupid." Zheng Zhijie added: "It's just that Governor Dailin has approached us several times in the second half of the year. If we don't agree for so long, will the Hong Kong government take back the tunnel? Construction plan? ”
"It is possible. If no one agrees for a long time, then the Hong Kong Governor's Office may not bother, so as not to ask for too many people and lose face." Yang Wendong also agreed and said: "It is indeed difficult to deal with this matter coldly, so be it. Next time we go to the Hong Kong Governor’s Office, even if we can’t decide, we have to give them a little more hope.”
Any project under the government also has time. It is impossible for no one to invest, so you will keep asking for help. There is a high probability that it will be put on hold for two years. In this way, if you want to take the initiative in the future, you will have to ask, and Once you speak first, you will change today's activeness into passiveness.
"Okay." Zheng Zhijie said again: "Yang Sheng, the Changxing Plaza in Singapore has been completed and is ready to open on December 20. Do you want to go there?"
"Go." Yang Wendong agreed: "A square is not important, but I want to discuss the follow-up investment cooperation with Singapore. With the current situation in Hong Kong, we must also increase industrial investment in Singapore as soon as possible."< br>
Although he knows the future, industrial relocation is also necessary. After 1968, he plans to focus on developing the electronics industry in Hong Kong. So many companies that produce simple plastic parts will also be gradually relocated. Whether it is Bay Area or Singapore, two Chinese Any gathering place is fine.
And investing heavily in Singapore can also put pressure on the Hong Kong government, which will make it easier for you to plan for the future. Even if you fall out with the British capital one day, as long as there are enough overseas bases, you will not be afraid of the British capital using zz to do anything. .
"Okay." Zheng Zhijie agreed.
Wei Zetao next to him said: "Yang Sheng, Changxing Industrial has invested in the second phase of the factory in Singapore, the third phase is already under construction, and the fourth phase is also being planned; these four phases combined involve all aspects of Changxing Industrial today. The industry, excluding sticky notes, is estimated to have an annual output value of more than HK$100 million, creating employment for 10,000 people in Singapore.”
"Ten thousand people, that's equivalent to 0.5 percentage points for them?" Yang Wendong smiled and asked: "What about the area and location of these factories?"
Wei Zetao said: "Yang Sheng can rest assured about this. The factories I chose are very large and very close to the center of Singapore. We need a lot of workers and cannot be in remote places. The areas are also very large. I also deliberately A lot of greening was built;
In addition, I also asked the Singapore government for 6 pieces of land with a total area of more than 600,000 square feet (60,000 square meters) to be used as warehouses, specifically to store our products or raw materials. However, due to warehouse reasons, we can only Choosing an open space near the port, there is no way to get close to the town center. ”
"It doesn't matter, it's impossible for every place to be in the city center." Yang Wendong said without any concern: "Today it is an open space next to the port, but in a dozen years it may be a new prime land."
Singapore's development speed is faster than that of Hong Kong, and its area is similar to that of Hong Kong. Today's wasteland will be worth tens of thousands of dollars in more than ten years.
Although in the previous life, Jianzhong.com claimed that housing prices in Singapore were not expensive, it was referring to big cities such as Hong Kong, Tokyo, and Yanjing, and it only referred to housing for ordinary people. In fact, commercial, industrial, and large-scale luxury housing are the same in Singapore. Very expensive.
Wei Zetao smiled and said: 'Okay, in addition, I have also entered into joint ventures with many of our suppliers, asking them to invest in Singapore and move part of their production capacity there. In this way, we can also share part of the real estate income. ’
Although Changxing Group has an internal order that companies are not allowed to invest in real estate, it is necessary to hoard land through their own business, and the boss also supports it.
And worst of all, in the future, your own factories and suppliers' factories will not need to pay rent, which will also be beneficial to your normal production.
"Okay, this way their factories can also benefit from it, which is not bad." Yang Wendong nodded and said.
Although building a factory requires the pursuit of the entire industry chain, it does not mean doing everything yourself. Surrounding yourself with many suppliers, owning shares and being the largest customer is enough to control them. This is how the entire Changxing Industrial operates, and indirectly gains Huge profits for the entire industry;
The only one that is not under control is the Formosa Plastics Group. There is no way. It has an official background and the founder is a powerful figure. In order to maximize profits, Yang Wendong can only adopt the investment model to make profits, but there is no big contradiction at the moment. , just cooperate with peace of mind. If there is a local plastics industry company in Singapore, you can also participate.
Wei Zetao added: "Yang Sheng, one more thing, our sales of various facial tissues, tissue paper, and toilet paper are very good, especially when shipped to Europe and the United States with our own ships, it is very cheap and very marketable;
But as a result, Wanwan's factory production capacity is insufficient, and they are asking whether they will consider expanding the scale. ”
"I remember the papermaking scale of the factory in Wanwan is 300,000 tons, right?" Yang Wendong asked.
Wei Zetao replied: "Yes, based on the growth of overseas data and the demand of this market, I think it is not a problem to double the production capacity this time, that is, add another 300,000-ton paper production line, or a little higher. ”
"Okay, the data you just mentioned will be collected to the headquarters review department. If there is no problem, I will sign it." Yang Wendong nodded.
The papermaking industry is also the second largest industry of Changxing Group after plastics. Thanks to its own sticky notes in the early days, its own papermaking factory has stable customers and its profit margin is not low. Therefore, after gaining scale, it entered the toilet paper and Office paper is an industry with higher demand.
And because Yang Wendong, a time traveler, accidentally discovered that small packages of facial tissues had not yet appeared, so after opening up this market, the order volume skyrocketed, and the factory in Wanwan also expanded its scale several times.
Wei Zetao said: "Yang Sheng, I have another idea, which is to put the expanded production capacity in Singapore. The first is that it is close to Malaysia, and the acquisition of wood pulp will be smoother;
The second is that Singapore used to belong to the Commonwealth and is closer to Europe, which makes it easier for us to enter different markets. The cost of transporting toilet paper is also very high. It can be thousands of miles away, which can also increase the profit margin a lot. ”
"Okay." Yang Wendong nodded and asked: "But we have invested so much in Singapore, you two have to join forces and let Singapore give us more other local real estate projects or high-quality land."
I have provided tens of thousands of jobs to Singapore and stabilized the chaos in Singapore. If I reciprocate the favor, I should naturally get more benefits;
In fact, the reason why I was able to invest in a port company in Singapore before was because of my job creation in Singapore. Otherwise, others would not favor you.
