Rebirth of Hong Kong 1981

   Chapter 284 Greedy Fat Meat

   Of course, this amount of money is insignificant compared to helping the charter king get ashore successfully.

   As a ship king in the world, Wharf is of great significance to the charter king, and this is another turning point in the charter king's life.

  If there is no Wharf, it will be difficult for the charter king to abandon the ship and dock, or, in other words, have to wait for a long time.

   After all, there are not many companies in Xiangjiang that can compare with Wharf. The famous world ship king wants to dock, so naturally he can't choose one or two cats and dogs.

   Moreover, Wharf and Universal can complement each other very well. For the charter king, this is definitely a matter of pros and cons. Even a little blood is worth it.

   Hearing Yang Chen's self-defeating arrogance, the charter king shook his head, expressing his disapproval.

   Hundreds of millions of transactions, also called petty fights?

   If you say this, I don’t know how many people will be slapped in the face.

  Bao Yu was half serious and half joking: "Achen, you can just tell me what you said, but don't say it outside, otherwise, I don't know how many old guys I'll be ashamed of."

  When he acquired Wharf, he mobilized about 2 billion in funds, which caused a sensation in the whole Hong Kong.

   Kowloon Bus is far more than ten times worse than Wharf, but according to the current listed companies in Hong Kong, Kowloon Bus is not too small.

   He controls the Kowloon warehouse, and it's just a simple holding, but Yang Chen is going to swallow the Kowloon bus in one bite.

   This alone is not something ordinary people can do.

  Yang Chen heard the words, touched his nose, and said that there was nothing wrong with what he said. Compared to the charter king and Li's richest man, he really could only make a small fuss.

   As for the others, to be honest, Yang Chen didn't take it to heart at all.

   Seeing Yang Chen's modesty on the surface, but a bit of disdain in his eyes, the charter king felt more and more like it the more he looked at it. This kind of strong self-confidence radiated from the inside and outside made the charter king appreciate it very much.

  In the view of the charter king, young people should have this kind of self-confidence.

   "Achen, do you have any plans next?"

   Yang Chen heard the words, shook his head and said, "Uncle Bao, I'm so busy every day that my feet don't touch the ground, where do I have any plans?"

   Now, the most important thing for his company is stable development. Even if he wants to continue to expand, he has to wait for him to get enough funds in the stock market.

   He didn't have the decades of accumulation by the charter king and others. In the capitalist society of Hong Kong, without money, it is really impossible to move an inch.

   Therefore, he will not make a big noise until the end of the year.

   took a sip of tea, Yang Chen looked up and saw that the boat king seemed to have something to say, his brain was running fast.

   After a while, Yang Chen's eyes suddenly lit up, and he instantly caught something.

   Immediately, he joked: "Uncle Bao, you know, I've been doing a lot during this time.

   No matter how good this appetite is, it will take time to digest it, otherwise, it will become a big fat man in one bite, and you will have to die. "

   "However, the little nephew still has a lot of spare money. If Uncle Bao has any good suggestions, you might as well recommend it to the little nephew, so that I can earn some money with Uncle Bao."

   He borrowed 2 billion from HSBC, and now he still has several hundred million left to spend. This money is put in his hand every day, and every month’s light is interest, not a small amount.

   Now he has no major investment direction for the time being. The money has been kept in his hands, and it is not a solution. Naturally, he has to find a place to spend it.

   Of course, this is not the main reason. To say that the money in his hand really has nowhere to spend, it is absolutely false.

  Whether it is the Zhao family next, or the Donghua Group that he set up with Han Wenguang and the three of them, either side can devour the remaining funds in his hands.

   Hearing Yang Chen's words, the charter king, who had no plans to continue talking, carefully looked at Yang Chen in front of him.

   "Yes, don't be arrogant or impetuous. It's rare that you can calm down at this time and not be carried away by a temporary victory."

   "I have to say, King Taipan's vision is as accurate as ever. I'm not as good as him in terms of seeing people."

   In response, Yang Chen smiled dryly, but did not respond.

  The reason why he said this was entirely because of the fat and oily fat in the hands of the charter king.

   Since the Wharf World War I, after more than a year, the charter king has completely controlled the Wharf, the largest freight warehouse in Hong Kong.

  Yang Chen clearly remembered why Wu Zhengguang, the second son-in-law of the charter king, was given the title of charterer in later generations.

  As the most valued person by the charter king, Wu Zhengguang inherited his father-in-law's earthly kingdom in future generations, the most important of which are the two companies, Wharf and Wheelock.

  Wharf is an old-fashioned company that mainly operates warehouses and terminals.

   However, in the 1980s, the modern container terminal industry began to develop, and the old-fashioned terminal of Wharf was facing the fate of being eliminated by the market.

   In the late 1980s, Wharf's position in freight transportation was completely surpassed by Hutchison Whampoa, the richest man in Lee's.

   At that time, Wu Zhengguang took a different approach and decided to renovate some old warehouses and old docks.

  Some people suggested that these projects be used for real estate development, but Wu Zhengguang finally transformed them into shopping malls.

  Do not sell, only rent, and enjoy the rent.

  Most of the real estate projects are for sale. After the house is sold, it is gone.

   The land deed for the two pieces of land is 999 years in total, and it is used as a shopping mall to collect rent. It is a huge profit, and it can also allow the Wu family to have a stable income.

   Among them, the old warehouse is the future Harbour City, and an old tram depot under the Wharf warehouse has been transformed into Times Square.

After the establishment of    Times Square, it has become one of the most famous landmarks in Hong Kong, and Harbour City has become a global shopping paradise.

  The total value of these two shopping malls alone will exceed 200 billion Hong Kong dollars in later generations. Think about how many domestic companies will exceed 100 billion in later generations?

   Hundreds of billions of shopping malls, do you think it is too exaggerated?

   In fact, it is not exaggerated at all, and even underestimated.

  Why are Harbour City and Times Square so valuable?

   Let’s talk about the total profits of the two shopping malls in the future. Harbour City and Times Square, the two largest shopping malls in Hong Kong, have an annual profit of more than 10 billion Hong Kong dollars.

   The total retail sales of the two shopping malls each year has reached tens of billions, accounting for 6-7% of the total retail sales in Hong Kong.

  The two shopping malls account for 6-7% of the total sales of the entire Hong Kong retail industry. Thinking about it is scary, isn't it?

   Of course, based on this alone, there is no way to make the two shopping malls so valuable. What really makes the two shopping malls valuable is the 999-year leasehold.

   I don't know if it's true or not. Anyway, that's how it was spread on the Internet in later generations, and Wu Zhengguang's title of chartering public is also very famous.
