The Wealth Empire Crossing the Hong Kong

Chapter 100 Wheelock Plaza

In the Wheelock Building, Li Jianhui held a high-level meeting of the Wheelock Group, focusing on discussing the construction plan of Haojiang New City.

This time, whether it is the Haojiang Hotel project or the Haojiang Entertainment City project, Haojiang Tourism and Entertainment Company has handed over the construction to Wheelock Construction Company.

In addition, the Wheelock Plaza project also needs to be designed and constructed simultaneously. This is the first purely commercial complex built by the Wheelock Group. It is necessary to come up with a plan for how to plan and design, and how to operate in the future.

In the meeting room, Li Jianhui said: "As for the hotel and entertainment city, our design department should listen to the opinions of Haojiang Tourism and Entertainment Company, and come up with a plan that satisfies the senior management of Haojiang Tourism and Entertainment Company.

As for our Wheelock Square, what are your thoughts on the specific plan? "

Su Hongtao, general manager of Wheelock Properties, responded immediately: "Li Sheng, after a week of discussions between our company's senior management and the staff of our design company, we have designed several sets of preliminary plans.

In the first plan, we plan to build an inner square, surrounded by buildings, and all the buildings are connected, with two floors underground and four floors above ground.

The second basement floor is used as a parking lot, and the first basement floor is used as a large supermarket store, catering, food court, snack street, flower market, etc.

The first floor of the ground is gold jewelry, cosmetics and beauty products, bank outlets, etc.

The second floor is mainly famous brand clothing bags, introducing world famous brands to enter.

The third layer is dominated by home appliances and electronic products. In this regard, products from companies such as Toshiba, Sony, Hitachi, Panasonic, HP, Whirlpool, Siemens, and Thomson are currently the main products.

On the fourth floor, the cinema, children's play area, toys, and movie peripheral products are mainly sold.

The second plan is the inner and outer squares, no underground parking lot, only the basement floor and the ground floor, and the general layout remains unchanged.

The third plan, on the basis of one of the two plans, our commercial complex is only a group of buildings, and several buildings are built to integrate commercial, office buildings and even residential areas, which can save us a lot of land costs . "

Li Jianhui directly gave up the third option. If it was in Tseung Kwan O, he would choose the third option, but in Lisboa, it is not necessary at all.

He also gave up on the second plan. The outer square was not necessary at all, and he had to know that his main guests were not those who visited the square.

Li Jianhui looked at the crowd and asked, "What do you think about this, please tell me."

Zhu Limin, general manager of Lane Crawford, said: "Li Sheng, I personally think that there are some problems with the commercial layout, and the customer groups in Haojiang New City are completely different from those in major cities.

First of all, I don't think it is necessary for home appliances, nor is it necessary for the general catering industry.

We need all kinds of luxury brands in the world, jewelry, famous brand cosmetics, top clothing brands, and it is best to be small and expensive, so that it is convenient for customers to take it away. "

The deputy general manager of the real estate company retorted: "The customers of Haojiang New City do have their particularities, but please don't forget that there are [-] citizens in Lisboa. Our Wheelock Plaza is not only for the customers of Haojiang New City, but also Also facing these hundreds of thousands of consumers.

At present, Lisboa does not have a large-scale commercial complex. After the operation of Wheelock Plaza, we will definitely be able to attract Lisboa citizens to come and spend. "

The differences among the executives are very obvious. One side wants to target high-end customers and take the professional service route.

On the one hand, it wants to take into account the public, making the shopping mall suitable for both high-end consumers and ordinary citizens.

After everyone expressed their opinions, Li Jianhui said: "The establishment of Wheelock Plaza is mainly for mass consumption. Although our first project is in Haojiang New City, this original intention cannot be changed.

If we only serve the guests who come to Haojiang Hotel, why do we need to build such a huge commercial complex? Personally, I still support the first plan.

In addition, after the construction of Wheelock Square is completed, our shops are mainly used for renting out, not for our own operation.

In this regard, even if Lane Crawford settles in, a lease contract must be signed. At that time, Wheelock Properties will set up a dedicated Wheelock Plaza Operations Department.

There must also be a rule for merchants to settle in, not to bring in everything, you have to make a detailed plan in this regard, and establish a long-term cooperative relationship as much as possible. "

In order to facilitate the management of Wheelock Properties, Li Jianhui directly upgraded Wheelock Properties to Wheelock Properties Group, which includes Wheelock Design Company, Wheelock Development Company, Wheelock Construction Company, and Wheelock Group. The property company, and the Wheelock Square operating company to be established.

In the future, after he obtains absolute control of the Wheelock Group, he will split the Wheelock Land Group into the stock market, just like Jardine Harmony.

In the future, the main business of Wheelock Group will be the shipping industry, and Lane Crawford, as the industry he focuses on, will be split off at that time.

Li Jianhui made a decision, and the high-level executives present could only follow Li Jianhui's instructions. As for the future, we will only know after Wheelock Plaza opens.

This time for this project, Li Jianhui directly chose to raise one billion Hong Kong dollars. As the largest shareholder, he invested 4.99 million Hong Kong dollars to ensure that his 49.9% shares would not be diluted.

For this reason, Li Jianhui specifically ordered Clay Johnson, the executive vice president of the group, to communicate with the Xiangjiang Exchange to determine the time for Wheelock to raise funds to issue additional shares.

Listed companies are more troublesome in this regard. Li Jianhui cannot directly inject funds into it, and must go through some procedures.

And he still can't let his shares reach or even exceed 50%, otherwise, according to the relevant regulations of Xiangjiang, he will have to buy the shares from other shareholders at the highest price in the stock market within half a year.

Although Li Jianhui picked up money from London Gold, he hadn't reached the point where he didn't treat money as money, let alone help Qiu Deba out of his trap.

This time he raised funds, Qiu Deba would either watch the shares in his hands decrease, or he could only contribute proportionately.

As for Tseung Kwan O, Li Jianhui is not in a hurry. Here he wants to build a large-scale complex integrating commercial, office and residential buildings, which will cost more. He plans to build this place after the end of London Gold.

And at that time, Xiangjiang's housing prices were also at a relatively high level, and he expected that sales would also bring greater benefits to the group.

As soon as she returned to the office, Chen Yulian came in and said, "Jianhui, Huang Guangxing has returned from inspection in Shekou and is currently in the rest area. Do you want him to come in immediately?"

Accompanied by Wu Junshuang, Huo Yingdong, Bao Yugang, Cao Guangbiao, Lin Boxin and others went to Shekou to visit and inspect these days.

Li Jianhui also accepted the invitation, but he has a lot of work recently, and there is only a small project of [-] million Hong Kong dollars, so Huang Guangxing, the vice president of Huihong Games Company, was arranged to go there.

This past time, it was mainly on-site inspections to see where Huihong Game Company could build a production plant. Huang Guangxing was fully in charge of this.
