Hong Kong Island's New Rich Era

Chapter 65 Super Whampoa City Plan

This was pretty much what Liu Zhicheng had expected, except that the project's start-up capital had not yet been secured and the bank could not provide unlimited financial support.

"What is the specific plan for our Huangpu City?"

Hao Qingwen took out a plan, handed it to Liu Zhicheng, and reported: "Mr. Liu, we plan to have 88 buildings in the entire Huangpu City, including 45 residential buildings, 40 A-grade office buildings, and 3 five-star hotels."

"The five floors below the office building are 10 large flats, which will be built into a super shopping center with tens of thousands of parking spaces. The entire construction period is a five-year plan."

After listening to this super plan, Liu Zhicheng couldn't help but be shocked. When he saw Hao Qingwen's report, he was smiling with a little pride.

To be honest, if it weren't for ambitious people like Hao Qingwen and the "prophet" Liu Zhicheng, who in Hong Kong would dare to do this?

"Has it been submitted to the Hong Kong government for approval?"

"We have already reported it. If the plot ratio cannot be met, we plan to remove one residential building."

Liu Zhicheng nodded and said, "Well, let's implement this plan first, but build a few houses to sell first to recover some of the funds."

"I plan to own the office and commercial space myself, so you should be prepared. As for the start-up capital, we will figure it out next year."

Liu Zhicheng knew that the real estate industry would enter a rising period next year, but these were all hearsay from his past life. He had never experienced it himself and knew what it was like, so he still needed some backup plans.

Thinking of this, Liu Zhicheng slowly said: "In addition to the hotel management company I mentioned earlier, Huangpu Group should also establish a real estate development company, a commercial management company, and a parking management company."

In fact, Liu Zhicheng did this for only one purpose, which was to prepare for the split and listing.

Everyone understands the first few companies, but the last parking company is not very common.

In fact, in the past life, there was a famous parking listed company in Hong Kong: Weixin Group.

Moreover, due to the small area and large population of Hong Kong, parking fees are extremely expensive. Currently, the fee in Central is HK$30 per hour.

If you purchase your own parking space, the price of each parking space can buy a 500-square-foot house in the same area.

"After the parking company is established, it will first utilize the group's parking spaces and idle land to build paid parking lots."

Hao Qingwen nodded and said happily: "Mr. Liu, the parking lot is a good project, and it will also guarantee the revenue of our Huangpu Group."

To be honest, if Liu Zhicheng had not seen that there was a lot of idle land that could be used for parking, he would not have thought of setting up a parking project.

I remember there was a TV series in my previous life called Genesis, which was about a company that turned losses into profits by demolishing a factory to build a parking lot. From this we can see how profitable it is to run a parking lot in Hong Kong.

Next year, Whampoa Group’s real estate development projects will certainly not be limited to these. If the Hong Kong government agrees to the Yuen Long Industrial Park plan, the commercial land will definitely be handed over to Whampoa Group for development.

Moreover, there are some new projects every year, such as the Central MTR station and other lucrative projects, and we will definitely get involved.

………………

Liu Zhicheng attended the annual meetings of Orange Technology, Chigo Industry and Tiantian Newspaper together.

The development of Orange Technology's arcade games was naturally smooth sailing, with no rivals at all. After Lyon opened up the entire North American market with the Hong Kong Cube, Snake was quickly launched and entered major bars in North America.

As the product became popular in the North American market, the Orange Technology factory was brightly lit and the production line was running 24 hours a day, but goods could not be supplied in time.

For this purpose, Lyon flew to Hong Kong specially. After some discussions, Liu Zhicheng reduced the supply volume in Southeast Asia and barely supplied the goods to the North American market.

As the technology of arcade chips has developed, the price has dropped a lot. Each machine can make at least a few hundred Hong Kong dollars more, and the profit of each machine will reach 5500 Hong Kong dollars.

With the departure of Lyon, nearly 10,000 arcade machines were shipped to the North American market. Not to mention the European market, due to the smooth channels of the Huangpu Group's trade department, the orders have reached tens of thousands of units.

In Europe, some visionary foreign businessmen also took the initiative to come to the door and seek exclusive agency. In order to balance the interests, Liu Zhicheng allowed them to become distributors of the Huangpu Group to jointly maintain and expand the market.

Needless to say, the sales in Hong Kong are also very good. In the one month since the launch of the product, the company has received orders for more than 3000 units, and there have been scenes of groups competing fiercely to get the products.

The overseas markets in Southeast Asia were even more serious. All the orders had been placed to one point, but because Liu Zhicheng gave priority to supplying the North American market, there was no goods to be shipped to South Asia.

It is both happy and troublesome, and this is also the reason why Liu Zhicheng dared to launch an industrial park for 10,000 people.

It is also the capital that enables Huangpu Group to embark on a super-large plan. With the arcade as a money printing machine, Huangpu Group can at least avoid bankruptcy.

The most worrying thing at the moment is the engine research and development work. According to Han Chunxi's report, in the past month, the research and development team headed by Liu Xiaofang has been testing continuously, but new faults still continue to appear.

There were problems here and there, and the problems never ended. Liu Xiaofang was filled with fear.

Under his research and development, Engine No. 1 was no different from the original engine, but it failed every time it was ignited and ran, with the longest one being that it stalled after just half an hour.

This has overwhelmed Liu Xiaofang, and he is on the verge of collapse. The entire team is also beginning to feel desperate.

Every time he made an improvement with full confidence, he was always met with a ruthless blow from reality. Liu Zhicheng also felt that he was too eager for success and decided to change his plan.

Liu Xiaofang also attended the meeting today, with his fluffy hair, looking a little haggard.

"Engineer Liu, you don't have to be too anxious about this engine project. You should go out and ask your former colleagues for advice to find a solution to the problem. I'll give you a year."

Liu Xiaofang nodded to show that he understood.

As a boss, it is impossible for Liu Zhicheng to not care about their success or failure. But in reality, he cannot manage them in such detail.

"Mr. Huo, you should also give more support, care more about the lives of researchers, give them more encouragement, and make everyone have a safe working environment." Liu Zhicheng said to Huo Haiqing again.

"Don't worry, Mr. Liu, they will get the year-end bonus," Huo Haiqing replied.

"Well, Manager Niu, I feel more at ease with you. Let's talk about your fan industry." Liu Zhicheng did not give too many instructions on the engine project and left it all to Huo Haiqing.

"Mr. Liu, the production of fans this year will reach 700,000 units, and the plan of producing one million units next year can be achieved." Niu Guangli reported confidently.

Liu Zhicheng nodded and motioned Niu Guangli to continue.

"Mr. Liu, the electric motors are ready for mass production, but the main problem now is that there is a lack of factory space, so large-scale production is not possible."

Liu Zhicheng is still waiting for a reply from the Hong Kong government regarding the factory, so it is impossible for him to expand the new factory at will now.

"Well, there's no rush to build a factory. We'll start with a small-scale production and let the market test the product quality first."
