People in Hong Kong create super chaebols

Over the next week, apart from taking a few hours to discuss the development plan of Haojiang with Governor Izidi in private, Su Cheng basically spent the rest of his time relaxing on vacation.

Haojiang is not big. The Haojiang of this era is much smaller than the Haojiang he knew in his previous life. When it comes to vacation, there are actually not many places to go.

However, traveling itself means going to a city that you are tired of staying in, and a city that others are tired of staying in.

Enjoying the sea breeze, looking at the scenery, even playing a few games at the Grand Hotel Pujing, and occasionally visiting various branches, the days pass by pretty quickly.

In the blink of an eye, it was October 25th.

At noon, after lunch, Su Cheng and others got on the car and headed to the dock.

I have been here for more than ten days. This is the first time that Su Cheng has stayed here for so long.

In the past, he would basically come and stay for a day or two before leaving, but this time he broke the record.

It’s time to go back to Hong Kong.

Originally, Gillian and the others wanted to continue playing here for a few more days, but Su Cheng had something to do in Hong Kong, so they had to go back.

More than an hour later, Su Cheng and others returned to the Central Pier.

After returning to the Central Pier, Su Cheng was not in a hurry to go home. He simply asked two other cars to take Cherie Chung, Gillian Chung and Amy Yip back to the Su family villa.

As for Su Cheng, his car drove directly towards the Hung Hom Cross-Harbour Tunnel.

The destination is Kwai Tsing Container Terminal, more than ten kilometers away.

Pier 4 of Kwai Tsing Container Terminals belongs to the Hutchison Whampoa Group.

Pier No. 1 belongs to the Wharf Group.

Currently, five terminals at Kwai Tsing Container Terminals have been put into operation.

In 1972, the first container terminal, "Pier ", was completed.

In December 1973, Kwai Chung Lot 12 (berths and ) was granted in the form of land exchange.

In November 1974, Lot 11 (Berth No. ) in Kwai Chung was also granted by private treaty.

In 1976, the five container terminals were fully operational.

Therefore, among the Kwai Tsing container terminals currently in use, two are related to Suzhou City, and among them, Pier 4 is fully owned by Hutchison Whampoa.

As for Pier No. 1, since it belongs to the Wharf Group and Su Cheng is the second largest shareholder of the Wharf Group, this pier is also related to him.

Today, Kwai Tsing Cargo Terminal has already become the largest terminal in Hong Kong, with a constant stream of ships coming in and out every day.

There are even signs that it is not enough.

Therefore, the government has already planned to reclaim land at the Kwai Tsing Container Terminal and continue to build more container terminals.

The Rolls-Royce drove smoothly straight into the dock.

Sitting in the car, Su Cheng could see that the entire Pier No. 4 was a busy scene.

At the dock, container trucks, cranes, forklifts and other construction vehicles are busy.

The car finally arrived at a berth at the dock.

After getting off the car, Zhang Qizheng came to meet me.

"Boss, this is the first cargo ship carrying equipment. There will be the second and third ships, which will arrive in Hong Kong in the next two days." Zhang Qizhen pointed to a huge ship docked at the dock and introduced it to Su Cheng.

Su Cheng nodded and looked carefully at the huge ship in front of him. Above the ship, there was the logo of Dali Logistics Company, indicating that this ship was a cargo ship of Dali Logistics Company.

Dali Logistics is a logistics and shipping company under Suzhou. Over the past year or so, it has taken over many large ships from Global Shipping Group, with a very high cost-performance ratio.

That’s right, after more than a month, all of Austin Motors’ production equipment at several factories in the UK were packed up and returned.

In addition, Austin and Jaguar's R&D equipment were also brought here.

In addition, part of the Jaguar car production line is also included.

Due to restrictions of the agreement, Jaguar Cars' headquarters cannot be moved to Hong Kong.

However, it is still possible to set up a branch factory in Hong Kong.

Therefore, the Jaguar production lines shipped here this time are all new.

As early as a week ago, Zhang Qizhen had already reached an agreement with the Lands Department.

Ultimately, the automobile industrial park prepared by Suzhou City will be located in Tai Lam and Siu Lam in Tuen Mun.

Although this place belongs to Tuen Mun, it has many advantages.

Firstly, in terms of distance, this place is much closer to the city than the oil base, and is even a neighbor of Tsuen Wan, so it is very convenient to travel to the city.

Secondly, this place is close to the sea, so although it is not possible to build a super-large tonnage dock, a medium-to-large dock is still possible. After acquiring this land, we can build our own automobile transportation dock.

Moreover, it is only a dozen or twenty kilometers away from the Kwai Tsing Container Terminal. Even if the export volume is large in the future and its own terminal is not enough, it can also be exported through the Kwai Tsing Terminal.

The most important thing is that this place has not been developed yet, and most of the land belongs to the government.

In the end, this plot of land in the southeastern part of Tuen Mun was acquired by Tianyuan Investment Company at the market price.

Thanks to the help of Governor MacLehose, the Lands Department acquired the 1.28 million square meters of land in just half a day.

There are several small villages nearby, and the population in each village is small.

In addition, the land sold by the government to Tianyuan Investment Company belongs to the government, so even demolition is saved.

As long as the entire piece of land is leveled, we can start building the factory.

Unlike the factories in the industrial park in Haojing, the requirements for automobile factories are not high, and in the early days even tin houses could be built to cope with it.

However, Su Cheng certainly did not intend to do so. After all, he was not short of factories now, he just lacked such a large and connected piece of land.

Therefore, after discussion, these automobile manufacturing equipment and R&D equipment shipped from the UK will be temporarily moved to a factory in Kwun Tong.

Kwun Tong will also become the starting point for Hong Kong's automobile industry.

After the automobile industrial park in Tuen Mun is completed, all equipment will be moved to Tuen Mun.

As for the industrial factory buildings in Kwun Tong, they naturally have their own uses.

"In addition, some employees of Austin and Jaguar have arrived in Hong Kong in batches. Although a large number of them refused to come, under the leadership of these British employees, we will be able to train local automotive industry employees in Hong Kong. In addition, we also use Sanyo headhunting company to recruit talents from Japan, the United States, Germany, Italy and other automotive powers. The automotive industry in Hong Kong will become more and more perfect." Zhang Qizhen continued to introduce.

"Does the person in charge have a target?" Su Cheng asked.

Su Cheng has high expectations for the Xiangjiang Automobile Group, so it definitely needs a capable automotive professional to lead the development of this automobile group.

"Mr. Liu from Sanyo Headhunting Company is currently in Germany, trying to recruit a famous senior vice president from Volkswagen. Since Hong Kong is a desert of the automobile industry, the top automobile managers will not come here at all, so we can only settle for the second best. This senior vice president is also very capable, but he is too young, only in his thirties. Mr. Liu and I are very optimistic about his automobile management ability." Zhang Qizheng replied.
