Hong Kong Island's New Rich Era

Chapter 99 Industrial Park Completed
Monday, August 1977, 1.

New Year’s Day has just passed and there are only a few days left until New Year’s Eve.

In the morning, not long after Liu Zhicheng arrived at the office, Lu Zhihe hurried over to him and said.

The Hong Kong MTR Corporation has officially announced that it will accept bids for the development rights of the former site of the General Post Office (Central Station).

Interested bidders are required to submit their bids before April 4.

When Liu Zhicheng heard the news, although he was prepared, he still couldn't calm down for a long time. This would not only make the Daya Group a big hit, but also bring huge profits and stimulate stock prices.

Liu Zhicheng and Lu Zhihe have discussed this for a long time in the office. They must not be careless and must ensure that the bidding for the property above the subway station will not be handed over to anyone else.

The media has recently been hyping that Central Station and Admiralty Station are like the two thighs of a chicken.

The property above it can be built into the most profitable property on the entire subway line, which makes real estate developers very excited.

How could they not be tempted by it? Not only were they attracted by the huge profits, but also by the reputation of defeating British capital.

The two finally decided to continue discussing the plan after the Spring Festival, after all, there is still a long time to go before April 4st.

During this year's Spring Festival, Liu Zhicheng did nothing but simply stayed at home with his mother and father to feel the warmth of home.

Of course, it is necessary to stay with Yang Minli and enjoy the taste of happiness.

On the sixth day of the first lunar month, Liu Zhicheng suddenly received a call from Yang Yuanlong, saying that Xinhua News Agency President Qin Kailiang wanted to meet with him.

As expected, people like Yang Yuanlong had already had private connections with the North.

Liu Zhicheng followed Yang Yuanlong to meet him in an inconspicuous coffee shop on the Kowloon Peninsula. As soon as they met, Yang Yuanlong introduced the two of them to each other.

"Hello, President Qin, it's a pleasure to meet you." Liu Zhicheng met the president of Xinhua News Agency who already had a head full of white hair.

President Qin smiled and shook hands with me, saying, "Mr. Liu, I have heard of you for a long time. You have been in Hong Kong for so many years and you are the youngest successful businessman I have ever met. Your acquisition of the Whampoa Group has brought honor to us Chinese."

In order to unite the potential stars of Hong Kong's business community, President Qin naturally had to come to meet him in person. Although he still didn't fully understand his movements, since he had Yang Yuanlong's introduction, he was at least a centrist.

Moreover, these entrepreneurs who control the fate of tens of thousands of people in Hong Kong have always been the targets of Xinhua News Agency's efforts to befriend them.

"Not at all." Liu Zhicheng said modestly, "They are still far behind the charter king."

In traditional Chinese culture, humility is a virtue. In interpersonal interactions, one can be humble at appropriate times, as long as it is not excessive.

But when facing those people from Europe and America, you cannot be humble; you must appear confident and arrogant.

This is because in Western culture, this is a manifestation of ability, otherwise people will look down on you.

"Yes, Baosheng has always been the pride of us Chinese." President Qin said with a smile.

After the three of them sat down, Liu Zhicheng took out a check from his briefcase and handed it to President Qin.

"President Qin, this is a small gift from me, please accept it."

"Mr. Liu, this won't do. This is against ZC. You can't let me make a mistake." President Qin refused with a smile.

"President Qin, this is my sincere wish as a Chinese to contribute to economic development."

The mainland is currently in particular shortage of foreign exchange. The check Liu Zhicheng just took out is for 50 million Hong Kong dollars. Although it is not much, it can make a certain contribution to the mainland's economic development at the moment.

"Mr. Liu, please understand that our ZC is not allowed to accept your donations at the moment, but maybe we can do so in the future," President Qin explained.

"Maybe I was too abrupt, please forgive me, President Qin." Liu Zhicheng smiled and said.

"This is our first time dealing with each other, so it's normal that we don't understand ZC. I hope we can keep in touch more in the future."

President Qin glanced at Yang Yuanlong again and continued, "If you have any questions in the future, you can contact us directly or ask Mr. Yang to convey them."

Liu Zhicheng and Yang Yuanlong both nodded to express their gratitude for President Qin's support.

After chatting for a short while, the first meeting ended and Yang Yuanlong asked Liu Zhicheng to ride in the same car with him.

The future father-in-law and the future son-in-law had a profound chat about the philosophy of life, which can be summed up in one sentence: be close to the government and stay away from the government.

Sometimes Liu Zhicheng had to admire the survival wisdom of the older generation. No wonder they were so successful in this life.

No matter you are a reborn person or anyone else, there are some things you must listen to and learn. It is a good idea to keep learning as long as you live.

.........

Just after the Spring Festival and into March, the entire Yuen Long Science and Technology Industrial Park has been completed.

From a bird's eye view, there are 12 industrial buildings, the shortest is 6 stories high and the tallest is 12 stories high. There are eight 12-story industrial buildings, a 10-story logistics service center building, a -story office building, and two experimental buildings.

Each industrial building is very large, with the smallest area being around three to four thousand square meters. When you walk inside, you will see elevators of various models filling the entire space.

With this layout, there are enough elevators going up and down, so work efficiency may be a little higher.

The logistics service center has ten floors of staff dormitories. Each room is more than 8 square meters and has eight bunk beds. Employees will only need to pay very little rent, water and electricity bills when they move in.

In addition, there is a first-floor canteen for ordinary employees, a canteen for senior executives, a supermarket and other supporting facilities.

In addition, Liu Zhicheng asked the industrial park company to purchase a building developed by the Huangpu Group as a rental housing welfare for employees.

The current industrial park still has reserved space to build at least four more industrial buildings. If the production capacity is insufficient within a few years, new buildings can be built immediately.

After all, at the beginning of reform and opening up, the mainland's industrial base was too weak, and at most toy factories and fan factories were moved there.

For a long time, the main production base of the entire group will remain here. It will not be completely relocated until the industrial chain is complete.

After the perfect seamless connection, such a large industrial land in Hong Kong will be left, and you can also make a profit when the housing prices are at their peak.

In the overseas market, Chigo Fan still implements the strategy of not making profits but stabilizing the market. It occupies Building B1 of the industrial building and is the production workshop with the largest number of employees in the entire group.

Today, Chigo electric fans have become the number one in the fan production field with a sweeping trend, with an annual output of up to one million units.

Arcade machine production occupies Building B3 of the industrial building. Currently, arcade games have become popular in a large number of bars in North America and have made a lot of money. In addition to the European and Southeast Asian markets, the arcade factory in Hong Kong has entered an extremely busy phase.

At the same time, Orange Technology has a large amount of cash reserves in the accounts of several tax avoidance companies registered overseas, which has exceeded 50 million US dollars.

Chigo motorcycles are selling well in Thailand, with orders reaching 2 units per month. Liu Zhicheng decided to visit Thailand to inspect the market when he has time. Currently, the company occupies the B industrial building.

Chigo Motor has also entered a rapid growth phase. Due to its large demand, its current shipment volume has surpassed Dechang Motor, making it the number one in Hong Kong.

The motors occupied Building B6, while the industrial building B5 was a toy factory and a printing factory. Since his own newspaper and its affiliated companies needed printing business, Liu Zhicheng set up a special printing factory to take over.

Building B7 is given to the printed circuit board factory, and Building B8 is given to the LCD factory.

"When can the circuit board production line start production?" Liu Zhicheng asked.

"RB engineers are currently debugging the system and it is estimated that trial production will not begin until next month," Huo Haiqing replied.

"Okay, let our people work with translators and learn more from these RB engineers. Don't be afraid of spending more money. Let them pay according to the course. After get off work in the evening, give our people individual lessons and make sure they learn the relevant knowledge." Liu Zhicheng nodded and said.

Printed circuit boards are simple to make. All you need to do is spend money to buy the relevant equipment and then build a dust-free workshop in Hong Kong.

So in the middle of last year, Orange Technology placed an order for a complete set of equipment from a RB company, and also invited RB engineers to come to Hong Kong to build a dust-free workshop in the Yuen Long Industrial Park.

I have to say that RB's efficiency is still acceptable. The equipment has been placed in the dust-free workshop and is undergoing relevant debugging.

"I have arranged people to follow them and treat them to delicious food and drinks every day, but they took the money and kept it secret." Huo Haiqing shook his head and said.

"The income of engineers like these in RB is probably not low. If you want to bribe them, you have to spend a lot of money. If you can keep one person, it's worth it."

"I thought so too. I sent people to discuss it with these Japanese separately before, but they were afraid that we would kick them out after learning their technology, so they all rejected our invitation." Huo Haiqing shook his head and said.

"It's really difficult to poach them." Liu Zhicheng nodded and said.

In the 80s, Samsung Electronics of South Korea had a hard time poaching people from RB in order to develop semiconductor technology, so they simply implemented the weekend engineer treatment and sent planes to pick them up.

The Japanese industry is now at its peak, and it is really difficult to recruit Japanese people to Hong Kong. Liu Zhicheng can understand their difficulty in recruiting people.

Liu Zhicheng went on to say, "Since we can't poach these people from RB, I suggest that we ask RB's headhunting companies to look for Chinese people in Japan with relevant experience. They don't have a lifetime employment system in RB, so poaching them should be easier."

"As long as you have the ability, we can provide whatever you want, even a house or a car."

Compared to the talents that an industry urgently needs, a house or a car is nothing.

"Okay, Mr. Liu." Huo Haiqing replied.

"We still need to have more talents of this kind. Only when we have trained enough talents in Hong Kong can we feel completely at ease," Liu Zhicheng said again.

In this kind of high-tech industry, talent is extremely important. Currently, there is basically no such talent in Hong Kong, so we have to poach people from other places.

Orange Technology’s goal is to supply all kinds of electronic products to the entire Hong Kong first, so this little contribution is nothing.

"Where is our LCD production line?" Liu Zhicheng asked again.
