The Birth of the Hong Kong Island Family.

Chapter 465 [Missed Opportunity]

In an office building in Tower A of Far East Financial Center, Guan Jiahui happily looked at the 2000-square-foot office room, which was fully stocked with office supplies.

"That's great! The annual rent for this office building must be 40 Hong Kong dollars!" Guan Jiahui said happily.

Next to her was her father Guan Shan, who was a little worried at this time.

"It should cost 50 Hong Kong dollars a year! This is really a waste. I don't have a house for a year and a half."

Guan Jiahui said dissatisfied: "Dad, how can you say it's a waste! In the future, I will have Brother Chao to take care of me, and it will be easy to make 1000 million a year. Last month, we sold the shares of Jianing Group, and we made a profit of almost 2000 million." Hong Kong dollars?”

Guan Shan was shocked. He is still a little incredible. In just nine months, he turned 500 million into 2200 million Hong Kong dollars.His investment of more than one million was completely lost in three years.

"Jiahui, you are now a person with a net worth of 3000 million, and you are one of the very rich people in Hong Kong. You have been with Lin Sheng for four years."

"Stop it! Dad, if you talk about this again, don't worry about me not giving you pocket money in the future. If it goes too far, I won't want to care about you!"

At this time, Guan Jiahui was completely conquered by Lin Zhichao, and the shadow of the little girl had disappeared, but she looked like a girl who loved making money.

All because she was too poor when she was a child!

Guan Shan was stunned for a moment. He saw firmness in his daughter's eyes, and he didn't dare to force her anymore.

However, he ran out of money, and his daughter's pocket money was not enough.

"Jiahui, I have lost a lot in business recently. Can you support dad with 200 million Hong Kong dollars?"

Guan Jiahui opened her eyes wide, and then said ruthlessly: "No! Brother Chao said that you are not good at doing business. He calculated that your business would be bad a few years ago, and it turned out to be true. And all my money is gone. It's for my future children, how can I let you squander it all. From now on, I will give you [-] Hong Kong dollars every month. The more I earn, the more I will give you."

Guan Shan blushed immediately. It turned out that Lin Zhichao had been guarding against him for a long time.Of course, at this time, his daughter’s 2200 million Hong Kong dollars and 10 Taikoo Shing residences were all owned by his companies.

However, he didn't dare to take it for himself. Firstly, he was afraid that a tycoon like Lin Zhichao would cause trouble. Secondly, he was afraid that his daughter would be separated from him, and then he would really be alone.

Moreover, his daughter is now a long-term meal ticket, and he doesn’t want to take any chances!
"What? You want to give him a child, don't you?" Guan Shan suddenly reacted.

Guan Jiahui immediately said: "Dad, you really don't understand. I'm talking about the future. Besides, if I don't give him a child, he can make more money for me! By the way, my company has been registered. You will Just transfer 2200 million funds to my company's account, and I'll give you more than 30 yuan in change. As for the ten houses in Taikoo Shing, they are under your control for the time being, and we will make plans later."

She has received instructions from Lin Zhichao, and has also received talents introduced by Lin Zhichao to join her and manage the business for her.

Guan Shan said "Oh" and could only do as he was told. After all, Lin Zhichao must be behind his daughter.

He quickly comforted himself that his daughter would definitely become a rich man in the future, and his pension would only be 300 million a year. If his daughter could give birth to a child, even if it was an illegitimate child, her status would be much higher.

Forget it, my daughter has been completely fascinated by Lin Zhichao in the past few years, and she no longer does evil!
Three days later, Lin Zhichao came to Guan Jiahui's 'Smart Investment Development'.

At the end of last month (September), Lin Zhichao also presented a villa in Repulse Bay to Kwan Jiahui, worth 9 million Hong Kong dollars; plus the funds returned from the investment in the Carnegie Group and ten residences in Taikoo Shing, Kwan Jiahui is now worth 4000 million Hong Kong dollars. net worth.

Guan Jiahui is his long-term lover, so there is no problem with her loyalty, not to mention Lin Zhichao's confidence.

Walking into Smart Investment Development, several female employees have already started working officially. It is not surprising to see Lin Zhichao come in. After all, they were introduced by the boss.

Guan Jiahui happily took Lin Zhichao's arm, as if showing off in front of the staff, and welcomed Lin Zhichao into the office.

"Brother Chao, I'm so happy. Thank you for finding something to do for me. Let me tell you a little secret. Sister Qingxia said she is a little bored sometimes!"

Lin Zhichao felt the tenderness coming from his arm and said, "It seems that she doesn't reveal her true feelings to me either!"

Guan Jiahui immediately said: "That's not true. We just don't want you to be distracted. Besides, it's just an occasional situation."

Lin Zhichao said curiously: "Hey, you can actually speak for her!"

Guan Jiahui said proudly: "Tsk, I'm not a jealous person, we are all sisters!"

Of course they are sisters, but they have fought together and carried guns together.

Later, Lin Zhichao sat in Guan Jiahui's boss' seat and looked at Guan Jiahui's outfit, a gray office work skirt, white high heels, full of charm.

She doesn't look like a little girl at all, but she looks like a big lady.

Sure enough, people still have to have money!

"Did your father transfer the money to your account?"

"It was transferred, and the total was 2200 million. I gave him the fraction. He lost money in business, and I told him not to do business anymore."

Lin Zhichao nodded. If he had known that Guan Shan would be like this, he even thought that Guan Shan might swallow Guan Jiahui's money.But this little money is nothing to him. If Guan Shan really does that, he will lose a long-term 'worm'.

"House prices are a bit high now, and there is not much profit margin for real estate speculation. In this way, you can use the 2200 million Hong Kong dollars to buy Kowloon Bus shares and buy them as soon as possible."

Guan Jiahui immediately said: "Brother Chao, how do you know that Kowloon Bus is going to rise, or how do you know that Carining Group stocks are going to make money?"

Lin Zhichao smiled and said: "I am a stock god! The Kowloon bus is like a piece of fat. There will always be people who take a bite. As long as there are people who take a bite, the price will definitely rise."

In fact, he knew that Guo Desheng was coveting the Kowloon Bus, so he asked Guan Jiahui to ambush him and try to earn 30%.

The current market value of Kowloon Bus is around HK$10 billion, and its total share capital is 1.05 million. It is very convenient to buy and sell.Several employees of Smart Investment Development include female employees in the securities industry, who happen to be responsible for guiding Guan Jiahui.

Of course, Guan Jiahui doesn't know everything. In the past year, she has followed Guan Shan and learned some basics about securities.

"That's it!"

"Do not believe?"

"Believe it, of course I trust my most powerful brother Chao!"

Guan Jiahui stepped forward and hugged Lin Zhichao, which immediately raised the temperature in the office.

Lin Zhichao leaned against the gentle place and felt it immediately.

"Brother Chao, no, I've just been the boss and you're going to embarrass me!"

"Even if we don't do it, they will still be suspicious, and we will be doubted for nothing. Only if we do it, their suspicion will not be a disadvantage for us."

Guan Jiahui quickly tightened her lips to prevent herself from making any sound.And Lin Zhichao enjoys the porcelain doll-like Guan Jiahui, and is in this environment, so he is naturally very happy.

To be honest, he doesn't think there's anything wrong with this. It's not a change at all, it can only be considered sentimental.

Time flies, and it is December in a blink of an eye.

This morning, a group of Hong Kong Chinese businessmen, including Lin Zhichao, Wang Kuancheng, Feiping Tai, Feng Jingxi, Chen Zefu, Chen Zengxi, Wang Dehui, and Wu Hanhui, came to the Central Pier.

They then boarded a ferry converted from an old cargo ship.It can be seen that the organizer has no money, but attaches great importance to this reception, so it is a helpless move.

"Please be patient, everyone! If we go from Hong Kong to Shekou, the road is not easy to walk, so we are going to use ships as transportation." Executive Yuan said flatteringly.

He was a little cautious with his words, for fear of offending these powerful men.You must know that the Shekou Industrial Zone has been established for more than a year. The Development Department brought Hong Kong guests to Shekou, carrying a box of lunch (bought in Hong Kong) worth 15 yuan, and asked the guests to finish the box lunch before sending them back.When the guests saw the Shekou Industrial Zone, they ostensibly said it was good and wanted to invest, but as soon as they returned to Hong Kong, they were all confused and there was no news.

Therefore, Shekou Industrial Zone asked the Hong Kong Chinese General Chamber of Commerce to organize a "super rich group" to visit Shenzhen Shekou Industrial Zone.Here, the highest level of the Shekou Industrial Zone came forward to receive them, exerting influence in one fell swoop.

The huge sensation created by the Hong Kong rich group's visit to the Shekou Industrial Zone is an advertisement that cannot be done with any amount of money. It is just a business deal!

Lin Zhichao smiled and said: "It doesn't matter. We are here to visit and learn, not to enjoy ourselves. Any way will do!"

Wang Kuancheng said quickly: "Mr. Lin said it doesn't matter, so of course we have nothing to do with it!"

The implication is that among this group of rich people, who can have as much influence as Lin Zhichao!
Everyone nodded!When Executive Yuan heard this, he immediately felt relieved.

He also understood that among these rich people, Lin Zhichao was the most important one; not to mention the influence of the world's shipping king, he heard that his factory had [-] to [-] workers, and he was the most eager target of the Shekou Industrial Zone.

Even if Lin Zhichao only has a little business in Shekou, it is a huge golden sign that can attract more factory owners from Hong Kong to come to Shekou for "processing with supplied materials".Because the main issue that Hong Kong businessmen are worried about now is - will this investment be confiscated?
After about an hour, the ship finally arrived at Shekou Port.

The port facilities are beyond description. The wealthy people can only board the barge at sea, then sail towards the shore, and then pass through the approach bridge and land on the shore.Both the barge and the approach bridge were painted with sky blue paint. They were obviously second-hand items and could not be resold at first, so they had to paint them.

Fortunately, no one cared about this. These rich people just came to visit the Shekou Industrial Zone for more than half a day and had to take a boat back to Central in the afternoon.

After going ashore.

Executive Yuan presided over a simple welcome ceremony near the dock and said impromptu: "Today, I mainly ask you to help me and see where I am not doing well. Please give me your advice. This industry developed by China Merchants Bureau in Shekou District, today, the ugly daughter-in-law finally meets her parents-in-law."

Later, Lin Zhichao was invited to say a few words.

Lin Zhichao: "As long as the thinking does not slip, there are always more solutions than difficulties! Today's ships, barges, approach bridges, new toilets at the docks, and the logistics materials carried by the staff fully illustrate this point."

Done, applause!
Executive Yuan and other people from the Investment Promotion Bureau were immediately inspired and amazed.

They made full preparations for this reception with limited funds:

All the machines in an old boat were emptied out, and only the frame of the boat cost only 33 yuan, with a processing fee of 5 yuan.The approach bridge and barge cost 4 yuan. In addition, the most luxurious toilet in the entire industrial zone was built on the southwest side of the pier (accompanied by female family members), which cost 6 yuan, for a total of 48 yuan.But there is another problem here. The approach bridges and barges are too old and rusty, which will inevitably turn off the appetite of wealthy businessmen.Therefore, staff member Sun Shaoxian came up with another idea. After the temporary wharf was completed, the approach bridge and barges were painted an eye-catching sky blue, so that there would be no "temporary" shabby feeling at all.

The development department of the China Merchants Bureau went to a time-honored restaurant in Central to order a lunch box for HKD 26 each. Most of it was a three-part meal of roast goose, barbecued pork and braised duck. They also prepared milk tea, coffee, cola and other hot and cold drinks, as well as cherries, For seasonal fresh fruits such as dragon fruit, buy disposable water cups and paper towels at Wellcome Supermarket.

Everything they did was now seen by Lin Zhichao and pointed out.

Everyone can see that Lin Zhichao is praising the people in Shekou Industrial Zone for finding ways to solve problems.

Everyone also admired Lin Zhichao's sharp eyesight.

Next

Wang Kuancheng, President of the Hong Kong Chinese General Chamber of Commerce, said: "Thanks to the many invitations from the Development Department of the Investment Promotion Bureau and Mr. Yuan, we are finally here today to take a look at the construction of Shekou and see if we can find a development opportunity here."

Airship Tai said: "We are also here to learn. This is a new thing."

Afterwards, Executive Yuan said:

“Dear guests, let’s take some photos as a souvenir!”

Take photos first so you don’t miss the opportunity.

After all, these rich people coming to Shekou is the best advertisement.

Everyone readily agreed.

When taking pictures, Lin Zhichao was invited to the middle as expected. Executive Yuan was on one side of him, Executive Yuan was on the other side with Airship Tai, and Lin Zhichao was on the other side with Wang Kuancheng.

When taking pictures, there are situations where the camera cannot capture the whole thing, so it can only be taken by splitting it into two parts.

Everything is really "poor and useless". China has wasted more than ten years. It will probably take another ten years to truly catch up with international standards.

At this time, the Shekou Industrial Zone only consisted of a few bungalows, with no high-rise buildings. It seemed that the whole area was being leveled and paved in the early part of the year.

After some inspection, everyone came to a bungalow that was converted into a conference room.

Lin Zhichao first said: "On behalf of us Hong Kong businessmen, I would like to raise a question - can Shekou Industrial Zone accept shares? We have funds and technology, and Shekou Industrial Zone has land resources and cheap labor. If we cooperate, I believe we will get twice the result with half the effort!"

This was one of the things the millionaires discussed during their inspection.

If a joint venture can be formed, it will definitely be a very beneficial thing for the development of the country. It is just like Singapore's investment in Suzhou Industrial Park in the previous life, which directly boosted Suzhou's economy.

Unfortunately, after Executive Yuan and others had an exchange, he said apologetically: "Mr. Lin, distinguished guests, there is no precedent for cooperative industrial zones in China, and there will be various political problems. This will actually affect the Industrial development. So sorry!”

Hey, I gave you a chance, but you didn’t take it!

What is an industrial zone? It not only drives the economy of the industrial zone, but also radiates a city or even several cities.

However, Lin Zhichao also expected this result, so he immediately said: "It doesn't matter! When crossing the river by feeling the stones, there will always be such questions, so we won't talk about this issue."

Executive Yuan and others felt chilled, fearing that they had offended this group of wealthy people.

He asked carefully: "Mr. Lin, what do you think about the processing of supplied materials?"

The so-called processing with supplied materials actually provides factories and workers, and equipment and materials are provided by Hong Kong factories.The money earned is in the form of compensation trade and offsets for equipment.

To put it bluntly, the mainland charges some processing fees, and then uses the money to buy equipment and materials for Hong Kong factories.

After thinking about it, Lin Zhichao said: "Almost all the products produced by my Yangtze River Industrial Group are exported to Europe and the United States, and they are high value-added products, so they have very high quality requirements. Of course, I am willing to come to Shekou Industrial Zone Give it a try, but we also have many high standards, such as the cleanliness of the factory, equipment and materials we can provide, but we also need to dispatch technical personnel and acceptance personnel. Only when the products are qualified can we receive them."

Executive Yuan said quickly: "Please Mr. Lin give us a chance!"

Lin Zhichao said: "There is no problem with this. I will send a team to discuss it in detail later. If we can negotiate, we will invest in a factory with a thousand workers here to try the water."

Executive Yuan and the others didn't react for a while, so they called the factory with thousands of people to test the waters.

Even Airship Tai, Wang Kuancheng and others couldn't help but secretly smacked their lips, thinking that by being close to this big boss, they really had a backer.

The world's best-selling toys - Barbie, Transformers, My Little Pony, Cabbage Patch Dolls, are all exclusively produced (genuine) by Yangtze River Industries.Not to mention foreign factories getting a share of the pie, it is even impossible for other factories in Hong Kong to produce, and they can only OEM for Yangtze River Industries.

In the opinion of many insiders, it is because the Yangtze River Industrial Group participated in the design and planning of these toys. No wonder Audrey Company does not give other factories a chance.

That day, Executive Yuan and others simply thought it was 'the happiest day'. They had already thought that as long as Lin Zhichao invested in Shekou, this would be the most expensive free advertisement.

As for them missing a development opportunity, they will definitely regret it more than ten years later.

The decline of the Shekou Industrial Zone in later generations is also the reason why Hong Kong businessmen are rejected from joint ventures today.Of course, although the Shekou Industrial Zone declined in later generations, it also spun off two powerful companies-China Merchants Bank and Ping An Insurance.

Shekou Industrial Zone was originally engaged in all industries, including shipping, terminals, banking, insurance, real estate, etc., and later generations were involved in it.It has created a template for reform, and its contribution is still very large.

But if we choose to form a joint venture with Hong Kong businessmen, our contribution will be even greater, and a perfect template may emerge.

After his trip to Shekou, Lin Zhichao returned to Hong Kong that afternoon and made preparations to go to Beijing to discuss donating money to establish Foshan University.

In this way, in the first two years of contact with the mainland, Lin Zhichao has had five contacts:
For the first time, I attended the National Day in Beijing and met with senior officials.

For the second time, he returned to Shunde to worship his ancestors and donated a total of 2000 million US dollars to the teaching buildings and related equipment of primary and secondary schools in the county, the county hospital, the county hotel, and Lin Zhichao Middle School.

For the third time, we visited the Sixth Machinery Department, presented technical materials, ordered two freighters, and supported the national shipbuilding industry.

The fourth time, we donated modern libraries to four famous universities, totaling US$4000 million.

The fifth time, we inspected the Shekou Industrial Zone, formulated an investment plan, and prepared to cooperate in the processing of some cabbage babies.

In the first five times, twice I met with senior officials.

This time when I go to Beijing, in addition to considering donating to a university, I also plan to see if I can cooperate with a five-star hotel.
