Chapter 255 The first person in Xiangjiang (7K chapter, please subscribe~)

  Chu Huan spoke, and Zhu Xiaozhao naturally had no objections.

   On the other hand, Li Tianying agreed to Zhu Xiaozhao's invitation after a few days of timidity.

  But at this time Chu Huan no longer paid attention to this matter.

  There is only one thing that Chu Huan is concerned about now, and that is the acquisition of land in Shatian New Town.

   On the morning of the third day after discussing this matter with Guo Bingxiang, Chu Huan came to Fanling.

  There is a famous golf club in Xiangjiang, but it seems a little mysterious in this era.

   Xiangjiang Royal Golf Course!

Like the Hong Kong Jockey Club, the Royal Hong Kong Golf Club is also the oldest association in Hong Kong. It is even more mysterious than the Hong Kong Jockey Club. Being a member here means that the status in Hong Kong is either rich or expensive. Members in the 1980s and 1990s Membership costs millions of Hong Kong dollars, but in 1996, in order to avoid the impact of Hong Kong's handover, the word "Royal" was removed and replaced with Hong Kong Golf Club.

  In fact, it’s just changing the soup but not the medicine.

  Li Jiacheng, Zheng Yutong, Li Zhaoji and others after they became famous are all members here.

  Chu Huan is naturally not a member here, it's not that Chu Huan is not qualified to be a member here, the main reason is that Chu Huan is not interested in the sport of golf, even though it is called a noble sport.

  What is aristocratic sports? According to Chu Huan's understanding, sports that can reflect sportsmanship without sweating are noble sports.

   After all, no nobleman likes to be seen by outsiders when he is sweating and embarrassed.

  Although Chu Huan is not a member here, after coming here, he still received the warm hospitality here, and the caddy led Chu Huan to the court.

From the building of the clubhouse to the management of the club, the stadium has always maintained a strong British style. The design of the stadium is also a typical park type. There is even a helipad in the stadium. The most impressive thing is the sense of vicissitudes of old trees all over the stadium. Absolutely, this place is full of historical precipitation.

  When Chu Huan, who was wearing a polo shirt, came to the stadium, he saw Jian Yueqiang, who was also dressed in the same outfit, chatting happily with a ghost in his fifties.

   After seeing this ghost, Chu Huan also raised his spirits.

  Because this ghost guy can be said to be the most powerful person in Xiangjiang at this time in name, and now Hong Kong Governor MacLehose!

   is also known as the most successful Hong Kong governor of Hong Kong!

After serving as Governor of Hong Kong, MacLehose carried out drastic reforms to Hong Kong, involving housing, cleanliness, education, medical care, welfare, infrastructure, transportation, economy and society. The ten-year housing plan, the development of new towns, the creation of Important policies and constructions such as the Independent Commission Against Corruption, nine-year free education, the construction of underground railways and local administrative reforms were launched during his tenure.

  For such a character, Chu Huan naturally had to take it seriously.

   "Uncle Jian, Mr. Governor of Hong Kong!"

  Even so, after seeing the two of them, Chu Huan still called Jian Yueqiang first.

   MacLehose was not surprised by Chu Huan's arrival. After all, before coming, MacLehose already knew that it was this legendary young man in Xiangjiang who was going to meet him today.

  Jian Yueqiang said with a strong smile: "A Huan, Sir MacLehose is very interested in your plan, and he took time out of his busy schedule to come here today!"

  Chu Huan wanted to acquire the land in Sha Tin New Town, so he had to deal with the Hong Kong government. In fact, Chu Huan could also go directly to the relevant department of the Hong Kong government to apply.

  But since this matter is going to make a connection with the Hong Kong government, Chu Huan naturally hopes to have a direct dialogue with the most powerful person.

  Among the elders around Chu Huan, Jian Yueqiang has the best relationship with MacLehose.

  So Chu Huan first found Jian Yueqiang, and after telling Jian Yueqiang his plan, Jian Yueqiang found MacLehose again, and after conveying Chu Huan's meaning, MacLehose immediately became interested in Chu Huan's suggestion.

  Since the new town plan was finalized by MacLehose, he naturally hoped that this matter could be completed as soon as possible.

The two most important purposes of the new town plan, the first is to alleviate the increasingly congested crowds in the urban area of ​​Xiangjiang, and the second is to provide another plan proposed by MacLehose, the 10-year public housing plan to provide more land.

  In the final analysis, I want to make more proper arrangements for more idlers in downtown Xiangjiang and some unemployed people in the New Territories!

   But this plan alone is not enough. If there are no more supporting facilities to attract these people, there is no way to attract more people to migrate here.

  So employment opportunities have become the most important guarantee here.

  But now Xiangjiang's manufacturing industry is obviously being gradually replaced by the real estate industry and the financial industry. Although Xiangjiang will also have sporadic factories, there is still a big gap with what MacLehose thought.

  That's why when he learned of Chu Huan's plan from Jian Yueqiang, he agreed to meet Chu Huan in such a short period of time.

   "Mr. Chu has become famous in the Xiangjiang business circle in the past two years, but he never expected to be so interested in manufacturing!"

   Naturally, MacLehose didn't need to be courteous to Chu Huan, so after seeing Chu Huan, he directly raised this matter.

  Chu Huan said with a smile: "Xiangjiang is a place that is good at creating miracles. The manufacturing industry used to be extremely brilliant in Xiangjiang. I believe that the current manufacturing industry in Xiangjiang also has a bright future!"

  McLehose nodded and continued to ask: "I heard from Keung that Mr. Chu plans to build two super factories in Sha Tin New Town that can provide employment opportunities for 20,000 people?"

Chu Huan said: "There is indeed such a plan, but there will definitely not be so many job opportunities in the early stage. My plan is that each factory can provide 10,000 jobs within three years. In the later stage, if necessary , this number should continue to grow!"

MacLehose knew that Chu Huan would definitely not lie to him about this kind of matter, but business matters, if they were not planned, they would definitely be carried out. What's more, before this, Chu Huan had no experience in this area at all. As for the successful case, as for Jiahu Textile, it was acquired by Chu Huan from his uncle.

   Can't show Chu Huan's ability in this area.

   Moreover, MacLehose also had great doubts about the factory that Chu Huan wanted to build.

   "Can the toy factory and printing factory really be built on such a large scale?"

Chu Huan understood MacLehose's worry, and said with a smile: "Mr. Governor, whether it is a toy factory or a printing factory, they are actually founded on the basis of "Fantasy Comics". What about the global sales of Manga?"

MacLehose showed a curious expression. He only knew that "Fantasy Comics" is very popular in Xiangjiang, but because this industry is too unpopular in Xiangjiang, even if there are many comic companies following the trend, Still!

"Appreciate further details!"

Chu Huan said with a smile: "As of the last issue, the sales volume of "Fantasy Comics" in a single issue in Hong Kong has exceeded 300,000 copies, the sales volume in Taiwan Island has reached 350,000 copies, and the sales volume in Southeast Asia has officially exceeded 1 million copies. This book has reached an astonishing 1.5 million copies!"

  The sales of "Fantasy Comics" can be said to have been showing an upward trend. In June, it reached the sales volume predicted by Chu Huan before, but this is not the end. Looking at it now, it is just the beginning.

"According to our company's current forecast, by the end of the year, the sales volume of a single issue of "Fantasy Comics" in Xiangjiang will reach 500,000 copies, the sales volume in Taiwan Island will reach 550,000 copies, the sales volume in Southeast Asia will reach 1.5 million copies, and the sales volume in Japan will reach 500,000 copies. Reaching 2 million copies, if the sales in other regions are added, it will be an astronomical figure!"

  Since you want to get the land you want in the hands of the Hong Kong government, then naturally you can't hide it now.

  Chu Huan told MacLehose the real sales volume of "Fantasy Comics"!

  After hearing this, MacLehose showed a shocked expression, but this expression was only fleeting, but even so, it could be seen that he was shocked.

  Even if the sales in some areas cannot use the printing factory in Xiangjiang, this number is already shocking enough.

Chu Huan continued: "Not only that, our company has now reached cooperation intentions with Xiangjiang's "Oriental Daily", "Sing Tao Daily", "Sing Pao", "True Pao" and other newspapers. In the future, the printing factory will be successfully built. Will cooperate with us!"

If the "Fantasy Comics" that Chu Huan just mentioned just shocked MacLehose by the success of "Fantasy Comics", then when Chu Huan mentioned these newspapers, MacLehose's feelings about the land of the printing factory There is no comment at all on the application.

"As for the toy factory, Mr. Hong Kong Governor doesn't have to worry about it. In fact, there are already many Xiangjiang toy factories manufacturing peripheral toys for comics, and the sales volume is very objective. I believe that after our toy factory is established, with the help of Driven by "Fantasy Comics", sales will only increase."

  Chu Huan was able to see the profits brought by the toys around the comics, and naturally other people could also see it. However, when these toy companies found "Fantasy Comics" and wanted to get the copyright, they were all rejected by Chu Huan.

   But that doesn't stop those people from having a strong desire to make money.

  So at this time, there have been many imitation toys that are not authorized by "Fantasy Comics" on the market.

   Regarding such behavior, Chu Huan has never responded to this behavior, but just watched with cold eyes. First of all, according to the sales of these imitation toys, it can be seen how much the people of Xiangjiang love these toys.

  Secondly, it can naturally increase the popularity of these toys.

  After Chu Huan's toy factory is built, all unauthorized toy manufacturers in the world will receive a lawyer's letter from Fantasy Comic Club!

   It can also be regarded as generating income for the fantasy comics club in advance!

  When MacLehose heard Chu Huan's description of the toy factory, he just nodded slightly. Without real data, he still didn't have an intuitive feeling.

  But with the printing factory in front of him, MacLehose also decided to believe Chu Huan's rhetoric for the time being.

   After all, what MacLehose values ​​more is the subsequent impact of the establishment of these two factories, which is the concept of a city within a city that Chu Huan told himself through Jian Yueqiang.

"The establishment of the two factories, together with the city-in-a-city plan you mentioned, will require at least one billion Hong Kong dollars to complete this series of plans. I have also learned about Mr. Chu's financial resources. This expenditure is probably for Chu Isn't it a bit difficult, sir?"

Facing MacLehose's doubts, Chu Huan was very confident and said, "I have already prepared the initial capital of 20 million yuan for the construction of the two factories. As for the city-in-a-city plan, this plan will not be until next year at the earliest. It will be implemented after the completion of the two factories. As for the funding issue, Mr. Governor, do you still remember what I told you about the sales of "Fantasy Comics"?"

"At that time, "Fantasy Comics" will bring 7.93 million profits to the company every month. In addition, I have not included the income of the booklet. If the booklet is added, the income will even exceed 1200. The most important thing is that I haven't calculated the revenue from the continued increase in the sales of "Fantasy Comics", and the city within a city project is destined to be a very time-consuming project. With the continuous income of "Fantasy Comics" The injection, as well as my personal funds, are enough to support the entire city-within-a-city plan!"

  In fact, Chu Huan did not tell MacLehose all the income from "Fantasy Comics", just like another important market of "Fantasy Comics", the European and American markets!

  After more than two months of siege, "Fantasy Comics" has completely gained a firm foothold in the European and American markets.

  Now, the sales volume of a single issue of "Fantasy Comics" in Europe has exceeded 2 million copies, and the North American market has reached 1.8 million copies.

   It is precisely because of this sales volume that "Fantasy Comics" has the confidence to reopen negotiations with European and American distributors and printing houses, reducing the sales share of these two items from 60% to 40%.

  So just judging from the current sales volume, these two regions will bring "Fantasy Comics" a monthly income of 2.13 million US dollars, which is 11.96 million Hong Kong dollars per month.

  Same as here in Asia, this profit will also continue to increase as the sales of comics, and generate more income. In addition, this income in the European and American markets also does not include the income of the booklet!

  If you simply count the income from the single book, the annual income of "Fantasy Comics" will also exceed 300 million Hong Kong dollars!

  Just as Chu Huan planned, "Fantasy Comics" is gradually becoming a gold bull in Chu Huan's hands!

  McLehose didn’t know these data, but he was still surprised. He was surprised that a comic book company could have such a huge income, which was more than that of a real estate company!

  McLehose looked at Jian Yueqiang who was standing beside Chu Huan again, and suddenly said with a smile: "I think if Mr. Chu is in need, Keung's Bank of East Asia will give you a loan, right?"

  Jian Yueqiang smiled easily, and said: "Our bank is also open to do business. As long as the customer's qualifications are excellent, we have no reason not to lend to the other party!"

   Having said that, Chu Huan knew that MacLehose was completely moved by his plan, but the other party would definitely go back and call his staff to seriously discuss this matter.

  Next, the three of them stopped talking about this matter, and played golf happily.

  Although Chu Huan is not interested in this sport, he also played with many people for his own business in the last life. Although he is not the opponent of Jian Yueqiang and MacLehose, it can be regarded as back and forth!

   MacLehose didn't stay here for too long, after playing a few rounds, he left.

   Jian Yueqiang also saw that Chu Huan's mind was not on playing, so he and Chu Huan came to the rest area and sat down. The waiter quickly brought juice.

   "It seems that MacLehose is already tempted by your plan!"

   Jian Yueqiang naturally didn't need to play any language arts with Chu Huan, and just preached directly.

   "However, just because he is tempted doesn't mean that this matter will be a success, so you still have to be careful, especially if there are some competitors on the opposite side of you!"

   Jian Yueqiang also knows something about the Avengers.

   After taking a sip of the fruit juice, Chu Huan said with a smile: "If they get involved in this matter, they won't be against me!"

Now things are obvious, this plan of mine can make MacLehose’s new town plan more quickly completed, it’s impossible for MacLehose not to be tempted, since MacLehose has already been tempted, then it means this matter MacLehose He will definitely promote it actively, although due to his position and reputation, he can't be so obvious.

  But if anyone trips Chu Huan again in this matter, it will really make MacLehose feel uncomfortable.

Jian Yueqiang said: "Always be careful. After all, this matter is not a trivial matter. With an investment of one billion Hong Kong dollars, the only successful experience in the city-in-a-city plan before this is Mei Foo New Village. Even Taikoo Shing is now just a Planning instead of building!"

  The construction of Meifo New Village has made many companies in Xiangjiang see the huge potential of this kind of city within a city. However, because this type of investment is too large, ordinary real estate companies have no courage to try it.

   But there must always be the first to follow suit, and this follow-up company is the Swire Group of Xiangjiang!

  The predecessor of Swire Group was Swire Pacific, whose main business was shipping and trade. In the 1950s, it acquired Cathay Pacific Airways and expanded to the aviation industry, but it has never touched real estate.

During the 1960s, Swire continued to sell the land it owned, including the Taikoo dormitory area in Quarry Bay, and later built overcrowded dove-style residential buildings such as "Sea Mountain", "Sea View", and "Fu Chang". The land on the east side of Hualan Road was sold, and buildings such as Crown Automobile, Renfu Industrial Building, Baofeng Court and Hui'an Court were built.

  In 1972, the Swire Group saw that the Xiangjiang real estate industry was booming, while the world shipping industry began to slump, so it established Swire Properties Limited to enter the real estate industry. It planned to close the Swire Dockyard and use the huge land it owned for real estate development.

   And what they want to develop is Taikoo Shing!

  In the early stage, Swire Group felt the lack of real estate professionals. In order to absorb experience, this year, it jointly acquired the small real estate company Jiancheng Real Estate with Dachang Properties under Chen Detai, reorganized it into Taikoo Chang Development, and injected the first phase of Taikoo Shing.

   However, later on, Swire executives probably felt that the further development of Swire Dockyard was too large and there was no need to share it with Dachang, so in 1977, they acquired the entire equity of Swire Development and listed Swire Properties on the Xiangjiang stock market.

   Swire Properties later developed into one of the famous real estate groups in Hong Kong.

  Since the establishment of Taikoo Properties, it has started to plan the development plan of Taikoo Shing, a famous noble and large private housing estate.

By next year, Swire Properties will announce that it will build a commercial center, schools, theaters, and residential buildings in the 2.3 million-square-foot Swire Docklands. There are 50 high-end residential buildings with a height of 28 to 32 floors, more than 10,000 residential units, which can accommodate 45,000 people, and a large-scale commercial shopping center - Taikoo Shing Centre.

  The entire plan is expected to take 8 years, with a total investment of about 1.35 billion yuan.

   Now this plan has not been officially implemented, but it has already spread in the Xiangjiang business community!

   "With such a huge plan, the manpower and experience of Huhua Real Estate in your hands is also a problem!" Jian Yueqiang reminded.

Chu Huan smiled, and said: "This will not be a big problem. I think as long as this plan is made public, many real estate companies will come to seek cooperation at that time, and there is no need to wait until then !"

If Chu Huan really starts this plan, it will be the largest real estate project involved in Xiangjiang Huazi Real Estate Company today. Such an impact will be unimaginable. Even if the world is not good now, there will be Countless real estate companies flocked to cooperate with Chu Huan.

   Jian Yueqiang thought for a while, "You mean Guo Desheng?"

  At this time, the only people who knew about Chu Huan's plan were Guo Bingxiang, Jian Yueqiang, and MacLehose who had just left!

  But since Guo Bingxiang already knew about it, Guo Desheng would naturally know about it, even if Guo Bingxiang had already been kicked out of the house by Guo Desheng at this time.

  Chu Huan nodded and said: "It's just that I thought Guo Desheng should have come to me a long time ago, but I didn't expect that Guo Bingxiang hadn't told Guo Desheng about this matter by this time!"

Jian Yueqiang suddenly smiled and said: "If Guo Desheng really wants to cooperate with you on this project, the best contact person at that time will be Guo Bingxiang, so the matter of Guo Desheng kicking him out of the house is actually let go. What about borrowing Guo Bingxiang's money?"

  This plan is really too big. If it is handed over to other people, Guo Desheng must send someone he can trust most to discuss this matter with Chu Huan. At the same time, this person needs to be trusted by Chu Huan.

   Only Guo Bingxiang meets this condition.

   "Or, you don't intend to cooperate with other people, you just want to do this alone?"

  Chu Huan said with a smile: "I just want to see how Guo Bingxiang is beaten!"

  Jian Yueqiang was stunned for a moment, then laughed out loud, pointed at Chu Huan and said uncontrollably: "You!"

   But then added: "That's when you feel like a young man!"

Chu Huan laughed and answered Jian Yueqiang's other question: "The cooperation must be with other real estate companies. If Sun Hung Kai Properties really has an idea, I don't mind their participation. After all, this project is too big. , and Huhua Real Estate has no experience in such real estate development, if we can cooperate with a professional real estate company, we can save Huhua Real Estate a lot of trouble."

   "It can also add an ally with a closer cooperative relationship for you!" Jian Yueqiang added.

  Chu Huan nodded, not denying the matter.

   It is true that cooperation will definitely share Chu Huan's profits in this matter, but it also allows Chu Huan to save more capital investment.

   And avoid unnecessary mistakes that may occur during the entire construction process.

   Then you can use this opportunity to improve the professional ability of Huhua Real Estate staff!

  The most important thing is

  This plan is bound to be a long-term project. Although in the eyes of many people, the real estate project is a very profitable project, but in Chu Huan's view, the rate of return and the time of this project are too long.

  Chu Huan expects to complete this city within a city within five years!

  Five years!

  Chu Huan can use this time to earn more money than this project.

   What Chu Huan really values ​​for this project is to establish a relationship with the Hong Kong government and at the same time increase his social influence!

   While Chu Huan and Jian Yueqiang were discussing this matter here, Guo Bingxiang finally mustered up the courage to return home.

   Seeing Guo Bingxiang come back, Guo Desheng still looked angry.

   "Didn't you say that you would not come back even if you starved to death outside? What? It's only been a few days? You just ran back?"

   Facing Guo Desheng's reprimand, Guo Bingxiang wanted to turn around and leave, but he didn't turn around after all because of Chu Huan's plan.

   "There is something I want to tell you about A Huan. If you don't want to hear it, I'm leaving now!"

   When Guo Desheng heard that it was about Chu Huan, even though he was very angry at Guo Bingxiang's behavior of running away from home, he restrained his anger first, but still said with a cold face: "Come with me to the study!"

   After speaking, he turned around first and returned to his study.

  Guo Bingxiang lowered his head, listlessly followed Guo Desheng into the study.

  The two father and son are like enemies in the previous life, wherever they sit, the air in the study freezes!

  Looking at Guo Bingxiang who was silent, Guo Desheng reprimanded loudly: "What are you doing in a daze? What is A Huan's business?"

  Guo Bingxiang had no choice but to tell Guo Desheng Chu Huan's plan.

   It is impossible to keep this matter a secret. At most, no one knows about Chu Huan’s preliminary preparation stage. But as long as Chu Huan takes action, I believe such a huge plan will soon spread throughout the Xiangjiang real estate industry.

  So when Guo Bingxiang told Guo Desheng about this plan at this time, it was not a leak of Chu Huan's business secrets, and it was difficult for anyone to compete with Chu Huan in such a matter.

  Because they don't have the conditions that Chu Huan has!

   That is, if you want so many people to live in this city within a city, or if the new town in Sha Tin has not been built, then you must rely on the workers of the printing factory and the toy factory.

   After speaking, Guo Bingxiang originally thought that his father would be very surprised, but he didn't expect that after he finished speaking, Guo Desheng just sat there with no expression on his face. This was the real shock.

   After a while, when Guo Bingxiang was uneasy, Guo Desheng suddenly asked, "Why did Ah Huan tell you this plan!"

  Guo Bingxiang said: "I just told you!"

  Guo Desheng suddenly said angrily: "Tell me exactly!"

  Seeing that Guo Desheng was angry, Guo Bingxiang no longer dared to hide it, and went to Chu Huan to borrow money, and then told Guo Desheng the whole process of telling Chu Huan the Hong Kong government's plan.

  As a result, after listening to this, Guo Desheng, who didn't react much just now, suddenly became violent: "I said, why do you have the courage to run away from home? It turns out that you deliberately asked A Huan to borrow money!"

   While talking, Guo Desheng looked around, obviously wanting to grab some convenient weapon!

  Seeing this, Guo Bingxiang turned around in fright and wanted to run away!

   Also, at eight in the morning~
