People in Hong Kong create super chaebols

"Our project must be accelerated as soon as possible. We can't let Hutchison Plaza have the whole thing to ourselves. This is a big piece of cake. As the largest real estate company in Hong Kong, there is no reason for us to just sit and watch Hutchison Plaza make huge money!" Niu Bijian, who received the news, said decisively.

"Yes, Mr. Niu Bijian, I think so too. In this way, we will double the number of workers at the urban complex construction site in Sheung Wan that is already ready to start construction. Under the premise of ensuring the quality, we will complete our urban complex as soon as possible and start renting it out!" Bao Fuda said with determination.

The traffic data on the first day of official business at Hutchison Plaza was so overwhelming that they could no longer control themselves.

Originally, according to their plan, their urban complex would have to be completed around September 1981, which meant a two-year construction period.

A two-year construction period is actually not too long.

However, seeing others making a lot of money feels like cutting their flesh. How can they bear it!
Now that they have seen the success of Hutchison Plaza, they no longer intend to delay that long.

The completion time must be accelerated; Hutchison Plaza cannot be left alone to enjoy such a big piece of cake!
Doubling the labor cost may not directly reduce the construction time by half, but it can at least shorten it by several months.

As is the case now, if the manpower is doubled, the project, which was originally scheduled to be completed in September 1981, can be shortened to the spring of 9.

Hutchison Plaza in Kowloon Tong is different from the integrated commercial complex planned by Swire Properties in Sheung Wan.

The reason why Hutchison Plaza was built so quickly, besides the large number of construction workers, the most important thing was that it was originally a flat land and could almost be directly enclosed and construction could begin.

The land planned by the country's land not only has half of the land on a small hill that needs to be flattened, but there is also a small village there that needs to be demolished. Although the construction difficulty is not high, it also means that they will need to take longer to complete the construction.

"As for the construction, we need to speed up the progress. If those unruly people refuse to cooperate, we will just demolish it by force. Let the people in the Chinese community do this. They are familiar with this!" Niu Bijian said directly!

Previously, a British financial group had taken a fancy to a piece of land and planned to use it to build a commercial building. However, there was a primary school on the land with hundreds of students. The principal, teachers and parents all refused to relocate and were very resistant.

In the end, the consortium didn't even need to do it themselves, but instead called in a society leader to burn down the school in the middle of the night.

This incident caused quite a sensation in Hong Kong at the time. As the boss of Jardine Matheson, Niu Bijian was naturally very aware of this matter, and this incident actually happened in Wan Chai.

"Then I'll have to trouble Mr. Niu Bijian with this matter. I heard that Mr. Niu Bijian has a good relationship with the leader of a large community." Bao Fuda said with a smile.

"Okay, leave it to me. I can spend a little money to deal with these troublemakers. Why not do it?" Niu Bijian said with a smile.

This piece of land is not far from Central, with a straight-line distance of less than two kilometers. Because of this, they feel that once an urban commercial complex is built there, not to mention those far away, people from Wan Chai, Causeway Bay and Central will definitely be willing to go to Sheung Wan for a stroll.

Unfortunately, they only bought the hill from the government, but the land on the hill was not enough to build a large commercial complex. Therefore, the small village nearby became their best annexation plot. Once they took over the small village, their land would be large enough to build a large commercial complex.

Although Sheung Wan is adjacent to Central, it is actually a suburb and cannot be considered part of the city center.

"I should have known not to swap the Sheung Wan Landmark Pier and the Su Group Building last time. If we hadn't swapped them, we would have had more than enough time to build a commercial complex like Hutchison Plaza on the land of the Sheung Wan Landmark Pier," Bao Fuda said with some regret.

The land at Landmark Central Pier is actually better than the address they have chosen now, because the straight-line distance between Landmark Central Pier and the westernmost part of Central is only a few hundred meters, and it is also close to the sea, which has much greater advantages than the land they have chosen now.

They didn't think so much at the time, otherwise they probably wouldn't have exchanged with the Su Group.

"This matter has its pros and cons. Although we lost the Sheung Wan Landmark Pier, we also own the land of the Su Group Building which is more valuable to us. This way, the financial and business circle we have created in Central will be completely perfect!" Niu Bijian said with a smile. He did not regret the exchange at all.

"That's right. Now that it has been changed and has become a reality, there is no point in saying more now." Bao Fuda nodded.

"Mr. Bao Fuda, the poaching matter is left to you. Since Wen Yu is not going to change jobs, then contact other senior executives, such as the deputy general manager of Hutchison Plaza and the heads of those departments. They have as much experience as Wen Yu, but they may not be as good as Wen Yu in management. As for us at Hutchison Whampoa, we are not short of talented management experts. What we need is the operating experience of urban complexes!" Niu Bijian continued.

"Okay, leave it to me. I will urge our people to do it immediately!" Bao Fuda agreed.

"Mr. Wei Li is truly a talented person. No wonder he was able to turn the former Hutchison Whampoa into a profitable one. Now he has even created such a money-making tool. It's a pity that we can't use it!" Thinking of the success of Hutchison Plaza, Niu Bijian couldn't help but think of Mr. Wei Li, the president of Hutchison Whampoa.

Now, everyone thinks that Hutchison Plaza was created by Wei Li, but they don’t know that this epoch-making conceptual product was actually an idea provided by Su Cheng, the boss behind the scenes. Both Wei Li and Wen Yu were just executors.

"Yes, Wei Li's ancestors were also British, and we are of the same clan. Such a talented person is now working for the Chinese, which is really a disgrace to us British!" Bao Fuda said very calmly.

“However, even if we can dig him over to our Jardine Matheson, I don’t know what position to give him.” Niu Bijian said with a wry smile.

Today, Wei Li’s status is the same as Niu Bijian’s. He is also the head of a large group, and the strength between the two is almost the same.

If Wei Li was poached here, would he be so stubborn as to give up his position as the head of Jardine Matheson?
Of course not.

So, in the end, this matter was just something they nag about in private.

Digging for Wei Li is simply unrealistic. (End of this chapter)
