  Central, Chinese!

   "Chairman, congratulations, congratulations!"

  After He Bingguang came to Chu Huan's office, he congratulated Chu Huan with a smile on his face.

  After Cao Yunshang returned to No. 12, Mount Kellie Road, Chu Huan accompanied her to cultivate for a few days, and then returned to the company to start handling company affairs. He Bingguang was called over today.

   "Thank you!" Chu Huan also said with a smile.

  After He Bingguang sat down, Chu Huan asked He Bingguang: "How is the company's current industrial building project going?"

  He Bingguang didn't even think about it, and replied directly: "Now the company has completed 16 industrial buildings, and there are seven more under construction."

  Chu Huan nodded, and said: "The project of the industrial building is suspended. When the construction of the seven buildings is completed, no new industrial buildings will be built!"

  He Bingguang was a little dazed, and asked: "Chairman, the industrial building is now in its golden period, and the rent has reached a record high. Is it time for the industrial building to show its strength?"

The Hong Kong government has banned the so-called "fake factories" that use commercial buildings or residential buildings as workshops. Manufacturers are still in high demand for stratified industrial buildings and warehouses. The market for stratified industrial buildings and warehouses has set new records in terms of both supply and demand. .

In 1976, the area of ​​the newly completed Heung Kong Industrial Building was only 2.9 million square feet, but in the past quarter of this year, the area of ​​the newly completed industrial buildings has exceeded 3 million square feet. The area of ​​the new industrial building will exceed 15 million square feet.

  In fact, in another time and space, in 1979, the area of ​​newly completed industrial buildings in Xiangjiang reached 13.75 million square feet, and now because of the existence of Zhulu Real Estate, this area will directly exceed 15 million square feet.

  In addition, the rent of industrial buildings has also changed. In 1976, the average annual rent of the upstairs factories in the urban area was 171.6 yuan per square meter. By 1979, it had risen to 355.1 yuan.

  In some urban areas such as Hung Hom, the annual rent per square meter is as high as 723.6 yuan.

In addition, judging from the data, Xiangjiang’s manufacturing industry is also at its peak. Ready-to-wear, candles, plastic flowers, toys, watches, electric fans, flashlights, wigs, electronic watches, hair curlers, etc. are all the world’s largest exports .

In addition, the export volume of several products such as electronics ranks among the top in the world. Xiangjiang was originally a single entrepot trade. By 1960, local products accounted for 72% of the total exports, creating huge wealth for Xiangjiang; per capita GDP : From HK$3,779 in 1966 to HK$21,816 in 1979.

   Regardless of any data, Xiangjiang’s manufacturing industry is at its peak, and this will definitely lead to more and more companies renting industrial buildings to set up factories in Xiangjiang.

  Now Chu Huan actually wants to stop the company's development in the industrial building. It is precisely because of the above reasons that He Bingguang has to ask Chu Huan the reason for doing so.

Chu Huan said: "The development of Xiangjiang's manufacturing industry has entered a bottleneck. Jiaku has given a report. In the past three months, the number of new factories in Xiangjiang has dropped by 25% year-on-year. It has entered a bottleneck period of expansion, but the number of industrial buildings in Xiangjiang far exceeds the number of new factories.

  Under such circumstances, I don't think I need to tell you what will happen, you will know it yourself, right? "

  Supply exceeds demand!

   Just this data alone made He Bingguang understand the key point. However, the increase in the rent of industrial buildings in the past two years still made He Bingguang somewhat reluctant to give up this field.

  At the same time, Zhulu Real Estate has given up the residential sector before. If it abandons the industrial building field now, then Zhulu Real Estate will become a single commercial building business, which is not a good thing for Zhulu Real Estate.

   "Chairman, could this be a change in the industry cycle of the manufacturing industry? If the supply of industrial buildings really exceeds demand, then the rent of industrial buildings should decrease year-on-year!"

Chu Huan waved his hand and said: "The increase in the rent of industrial buildings is caused by the development of Xiangjiang's manufacturing industry before, and the overall increase in housing prices in Xiangjiang. With the gradual increase of labor, Xiangjiang's manufacturing industry has actually left its last glory.

In the past two years, more and more companies have set up factories in Southeast Asia. At the same time, many factories have been staring at the market in their hometown. Under such circumstances, Xiangjiang’s manufacturing industry will sooner or later become a thing of the past, although sometimes people cannot be obsessed. Data, but in many cases, data can still reflect some things, so do this matter according to my instructions! "

  The rent of the industrial building has indeed brought a lot of benefits to Zhulu Real Estate. In addition, He Bingguang is now leading Zhulu Real Estate to develop better and better. Chu Huan still wants He Bingguang to understand what he means.

  After listening to Chu Huan's explanation, He Bingguang knew that this matter was irreversible, so he could only nod his head and say, "Okay, I understand, we will do as the chairman requires!"

  Chu Huan nodded in satisfaction.

In another time and space, after entering the 1980s, the pace of development of Hong Kong's manufacturing industry slowed down, coupled with the completion of a large number of new factories, the situation of oversupply began to appear, and the number of vacant units increased greatly. In 1982, the vacancy rate reached 10.5%. .

  In addition, when Xiangjiang Real Estate collapsed later, the decline in industrial land and industrial buildings was also the largest in the field of Xiangjiang Real Estate.

Just how big is it? Take the selling price of industrial land in Kowloon Bay as an example. Calculated by floor area, it dropped from the highest level of 360 yuan per square foot in December 1980 to 25 yuan per square foot in October 1982, a drop of as much as 93%. .

  So at this time, Chu Huan must prepare for the future.

   "In addition, congratulations to you for winning the bid for the property development right above Mong Kok MTR station!" Chu Huan congratulated He Bingguang with a smile.

With the opening of Xiangjiang MTR, the bidding for the property development right above the subway station has become an important source of income for the MTR Corporation. Obtained by competing real estate.

"Thank you, Chairman." He Bingguang said happily, and then handed Chu Huan a plan with both hands and said: "The company has already talked with Mr. Cao's design company, and will build a 22-storey commercial building here Mong Kok Center, Chairman, take a look at our specific plan, do you have any instructions?"

  Chu Huan took a look at the plan and said, "No, just build according to your plan. Remember that a very important project of the company in the future is to bid for the development right of the property above the Xiangjiang subway station!"

  The property building on the subway station, as the commercial building with the most convenient transportation, has always been the commercial center of that area, so it is naturally the best rental.

  Nowadays, there are not many commercial land auctions in Xiangjiang, and Zhulu Real Estate now specializes in commercial buildings, so the bidding for the property development right above the subway station is the most fancy project of Zhulu Real Estate!

  He Bingguang nodded and said: "Please rest assured, Chairman, we will take it seriously!"

In another time and space, the Mongkok Center was jointly bid by a consortium formed by Hang Lung Properties, Henderson Land, New World and Hongkong Land. It was launched in the early 1980s when the Hongkong Property market was at its peak. After deducting the profits given to the subway, the entire project was awarded The profit was 430 million Hong Kong dollars, while Hang Lung Properties made a profit of 160 million Hong Kong dollars!

  However, this time Zhulu Real Estate did not cooperate with other companies, but won the bid by itself. In this auction, Zhulu Real Estate’s biggest opponent is the company formed by the joint venture of Henderson Land, New World and Landmark!

   "Chairman, I have a suggestion, I don't know if I should say it or not!"

  He Bingguang sat there and watched Chu Huan preach with some trepidation.

  Chu Huan asked with a smile: "What? I gave you the impression that I never listen to your opinions?"

   "Of course not!" He Bingguang hurriedly preached.

   "Tell me your suggestion!" Chu Huan said noncommittally.

He Bingguang said: "Although the development of our Zhulu Real Estate is going well, and the head office has sufficient funds to support the development of Zhulu Real Estate, I think we should cooperate more with Xiangjiang's in the bidding for the development rights of the property above the subway station in the future. Real estate companies cooperate, so that although we need to pay more funds to purchase the rights and interests in the hands of other real estate companies when the building is completed later, it can also reduce the difficulty of our company's early bidding work.

   In addition, this can also increase the cooperation between our company and other companies! "

After finishing speaking, He Bingguang looked at Chu Huan with some concern. You must know that the rule Chu Huan set for Zhulu Real Estate is that all commercial buildings will be sold for profit, but long-term investment for rent. Relying on Jiaku's strong cash flow, this allows Zhulu Real Estate to not have to worry about other real estate companies in Xiangjiang.

  But in the past year, He Bingguang has discovered a problem, that is, because of Zhulu Real Estate's business model, they have invested more than their original plan in both land bidding and building bidding.

   This situation is no longer an exception, even for companies that have a good relationship with Chu Huan, or even hold shares.

   Aggressive.

  Chu Huan tapped on the table, and did not answer He Bingguang's question immediately, but was also seriously thinking about He Bingguang's suggestion.

  In fact, Chu Huan has already felt what He Bingguang is worried about. Whether it is Sun Hung Kai’s Guo Desheng or New World’s Zheng Yutong, they have actually told him this matter more or less.

   It’s just that Chu Huan put all his thoughts on Cao Yunshang and the acquisition of Wharf at that time, so he didn’t take this matter too seriously.

   "So, some companies have already talked to you?" Chu Huan stopped tapping the table, but asked He Bingguang.

  He Bingguang nodded, and then said: "Yes, some company leaders have mentioned this matter to me more or less before."

Chu Huan thought for a while, and said: "I agree with your opinion, but before cooperating with the other party, you must make it clear to them that you can cooperate and jointly bid for construction, but after the building is completed, you must sell them according to the land price at that time. Sell ​​the rights in your hands to us!"

These are some unspoken rules that need to be followed in doing business in Xiangjiang. I have said it countless times before. There is no need for this.

  The middle and upper-level structure of Xiangjiang Business is the most important thing.

   Seeing that Chu Huan agreed to his suggestion, He Bingguang immediately smiled and said, "I understand!"

  Chu Huan nodded again, and after inquiring about the company's situation, he asked He Bingguang to leave his office.

Seeing that it was time to get off work, Chu Huan asked Han Yang to prepare the car, and they returned to No. 12, Mount Kellie Road. When Chu Huan came to Cao Yunshang's rest room, they saw that Zhu Xiaozhao was also here, teasing Chu world style.

  After Cao Yunshang returned to No. 12, Mount Kellett Road, Chu Huan asked his other women to visit Cao Yunshang at home, but he didn't let them go to the hospital.

   "Brother Huan!"

  After seeing Chu Huan, Zhu Xiaozhao also preached happily.

  Chu Huan asked with a smile, "When did you come here?"

  Zhu Xiaozhao said: "It's not long since I arrived too!"

  Chu Huan nodded, and then asked Cao Yunshang concerned: "How are you at home today?"

  Cao Yunshang said helplessly: "Except for the unsatisfactory food, everything else is pretty good!"

  Facts have proved that even for a rich man like Chu Huan, when his wife is in confinement, the food she eats will not be too satisfactory. It can only be said that there are more tricks.

  Chu Huan said with a smile: "There is still half a month, just persist and it will pass!"

  Cao Yunshang nodded and said, "I know."

  After a few brief chats, Chu Huan and Zhu Xiaozhao left the bedroom and came to the study, and then Zhu Xiaozhao told Chu Huan about the development of Yunhai Chain during this period.

   "Taiwan Island, the Southeast Asian market has been expanded, I am now going to settle down in the Asian market, and wait for the Asian market to fully enter the right track in two years before looking for the European market!"

  Zhu Xiaozhao sat across from Chu Huan, and told Chu Huanjiang about the development plan of Yunhai Chain.

  Since the day when Yunhai Group was founded, Chu Huan has never used Yunhai Group's funds, but at the same time, Chu Huan will notify Zhu Xiaozhao to invest according to the development of Yunhai Group for some short-term investments.

   But this didn't make Yunhai Group's cash reserves reach such a terrifying figure. The biggest reason for this was the crazy expansion of Yunhai Group.

  Convenience chain stores, super stores, department stores, logistics, cosmetics, warehousing, beverages, food, etc. all require Yunhai Group to invest a lot of money to complete.

  If it wasn't for Yunhai Group's low-key performance in Xiangjiang, it is estimated that no matter what kind of business ranking it is at this time, Yunhai Group will not fall behind.

   "In addition, the black tea drink developed by the company has been developed. The company decided to officially launch it on the market through the channel of Yunhai Convenience Store in June this year!"

  Zhu Xiaozhao said that Chu Huan had asked her to develop tea drinks last year.

At the Jiaku Global Conference last year, Chu Huan told Zhu Xiaozhao that in order to promote the company's diversified development, with Yunhai Convenience Store's strong marketing network in Asia, it will be easy to promote such products too much.

  After Chu Huan finished listening, he immediately smiled and said, "Is there any finished product?"

   Zhu Xiaozhao understood what Chu Huan meant, took out a bottle of black tea drink developed by the company in his bag, and handed it to Chu Huan.

After Chu Huan took it, he unscrewed the lid and took a sip for himself. The taste was slightly less sweet than the black tea he had drunk before, but a little more astringent, and at the same time not as strong as green tea, which was somewhat A taste between black tea and green tea in another time and space.

   "It would be better if it was a little sweeter!" Chu Huan gave his suggestion.

  Zhu Xiaozhao nodded: "Then when I go back to the company tomorrow, let them improve the secret recipe!"

  Chu Huan nodded slightly: "Yes."

   "By the way, Brother Huan, I have an acquisition plan, please give me some advice!" Zhu Xiaozhao said to Chu Huan with a smile.

  Chu Huan was also very interested when he heard that Zhu Xiaozhao had his own acquisition plan, and said with a smile, "Tell me."

Zhu Xiaozhao said: "Through data comparison, the sales of doll noodles in convenience stores have started to skyrocket in the past two years, and now they have become the highest selling instant noodles in Xiangjiang, so I discussed with the company's management. After a while, I think that the market for doll noodles in Xiangjiang is very promising, so I want to buy doll noodles!"

  Chu Huan just recalled briefly, and knew which company Zhu Xiaozhao was talking about.

   "Are you talking about the doll noodles produced by the Yongnan Food Company founded by Zhou Wenxuan, Wang Hanxi, and Lin Liyiwei?"

  Zhu Xiaozhao nodded and said, "That's right, it's them."

   Zhou Wenxuan was originally the chairman of Hainan Development, and he also has another title in Xiangjiang, that is, King of Doll Noodles.

  Last year, Zhou Wenxuan saw that instant noodles were promising, so she founded Yongnan Food Company with Wang Hanxi, Lin Liyiwei and others to produce instant noodles named "Doll".

   When the doll was born, it fascinated Hong Kong people for a while and became the best-selling instant noodle on the market. Due to the influence of doll noodles, doll noodles have become synonymous with instant noodles.

  Chu Huan thought for a while and asked, "Is the acquisition difficult?"

  Zhu Xiaozhao said: "It shouldn't be too big. They don't attach much importance to doll noodles, and I've already asked people to talk to them. As long as the price is right, they should be able to sell it!"

Zhou Wenxuan’s doll noodle king didn’t do it for too long. After entering the 1980s, Xiangjiang’s money became popular, and Zhou Wenxuan was one of them. At that time, Japan’s Nissin Company wanted to enter the Xiangjiang market, so they fell in love with dolls. noodles, and then spent a huge sum of money to buy the doll noodles.

Zhou Wenxuan explained this afterwards. First, he said that he did not have much confidence in Xiangjiang's market at that time. Second, he was very satisfied with Nissin's bid. Of course, Zhou Wenxuan still believed that he was I couldn't beat Nissin, so I finally cashed out and left.

  Chu Huan smiled and said, "Yes, but don't use the name of the company to make acquisitions!"

  Zhu Xiaozhao looked at Chu Huan incomprehensibly, "Brother Huan, do you want to buy it yourself?"

Chu Huan shook his head and said, "No, first you can ask Zhou Wenxuan how much he plans to sell, then I will transfer the money to you, you can buy this company in your own name, then this company will be regarded as Let me give you a gift!"

  Chu Huan was willing to pay the money to help Zhu Xiaozhao buy the doll noodles. It was not the heart of the Virgin Mary, or because he saw that Zhu Xiaozhao was his woman, he was willing to pay the money.

  Miao Kexiu and the others did the same, but Chu Huan would not do this for them.

The reason is actually very simple, that is, Zhu Xiaozhao has been helping Chu Huan manage the affairs of the Yunhai Group all these years, just like Bao Tianming and Chen Haichao are helping Chu Huan manage the wolf smoke game, the Kyushu Group is the same .

  Working in such a position of high authority for a long time, if there is no matching wealth, it is very likely that some thoughts that they shouldn't have will appear in their hearts.

  Giving the doll face to Zhu Xiaozhao is also to let her have more wealth that can match her own situation.

   What's more, Zhu Xiaozhao is still one of Chu Huan's women, so it's right to give his women some personal property.

   "Brother Huan, I don't need it, my labor is already high enough!" Zhu Xiaozhao hurriedly preached when he heard that Chu Huan was going to give him the doll noodles.

Chu Huan said with a smile: "You can take it if it is for you, and even if you don't think about yourself, should you think about it for your future children? This doll face is yours. Who do you want to leave it to in the future? , just leave it to whoever, at least you and my children will have more security in the future, right?"

  Zhu Xiaozhao is naturally not pregnant yet, but when Chu Huan talked about the future child, Zhu Xiaozhao blushed first, and then nodded slightly: "Then I know!"

Zhu Xiaozhao knows what Chu Huan thinks about other children in the future. After he becomes an adult, he will definitely give him a sum of money to start his own business. If he can succeed, he will return to his family to take up a position in the company. Receive your own share of pocket money in the family trust fund every month, just be an honest playboy.

  No one is willing to let their children be playboys, and Zhu Xiaozhao is no exception. Although he has no children yet, it seems that it is not too late to consider this matter now.

  Since Cao Yunshang became pregnant, when Chu Huan was with other women, he no longer took protective measures.

   During this period of time, other women came to see Cao Yunshang one after another, and when they saw Xiaodouding Chu Shifeng, they naturally had some more thoughts.

   "By the way, after the acquisition, I have some ideas about the doll noodles, and you will remind me to tell you my thoughts then!"

  Zhu Xiaozhao asked curiously, "What do you think?"

  Chu Huan said: "The idea is not yet mature, I will tell you after I investigate!"

  In fact, Chu Huan’s idea is to refer to the instant noodles of later generations. Xiangjiang’s doll noodles do not have sauce packets, and their ingredients are directly placed in the bowl without plastic bags.

  In addition, the target of the doll is actually Japan’s Demae Icho. Demae Icho is actually a product of Japan’s Nissin Corporation, and they are taking the mid-to-high-end positioning.

Instant noodles are different, especially when the economy in their hometown develops. Taking Master Kong as an example, when Master Kong first entered the mainland market in the early 1990s, their positioning was actually mid-to-high-end food. If a child can eat a bowl of Master Kong, it will really be Chinese New Year!

  But with the development of the mainland market, Master Kong has gradually changed from high-end food to low-end food. Many people will say that instant noodles are not nutritious.

   Now that Zhu Xiaozhao wants to make doll noodles, in addition to facing the competition of Xiangjiang's various instant noodles in the market, there are also competitors like Demae Yicho.

  The most important thing is that there is no way for their pricing to enter the mainland market.

Therefore, if Zhu Xiaozhao wants to make the doll noodles bigger, then he must not give up the mainland market, but the production cost of the doll noodles limits the ability of the doll noodles to enter the mainland market in advance, so it is necessary to have a low-end market product. to seize the market.

  Now that there is already such an example as Master Kong, Chu Huan will naturally not give up.

  However, in my memory, Master Kong is a Taiwan-based company, and the four founder brothers of Master Kong should still be operating an oil shop in Taiwan at this time, so it is impossible to buy it.

  So Chu Huan needs to find researchers to study the taste of Master Kong's braised beef.

  But now Zhu Xiaozhao has not purchased the doll noodles, so it is too early to say these, and Chu Huan himself needs a suitable reason for himself to make this suggestion.

  Seeing what Chu Huan said, Zhu Xiaozhao stopped asking any more questions and said with a smile, "Then I know!"

The two chatted for a while, and then returned to Cao Yunshang's room. At this time, Xiaodouding Chu Shifeng had already fallen asleep. Originally, Chu Huan wanted to find a full-time nanny for Chu Shifeng, but Cao Yunshang wanted to take care of him. He didn't argue with Cao Yunshang on this kind of matter.

  Cao Yunshang is reading a book, unlike later confinement mothers who will pass the time with their mobile phones or iPads.

   Originally thought that Zhu Xiaozhao would stay and that Chu Huan would not have to leave No. 12 Mount Kellie Road tonight, but Cao Yunshang cut off his husband halfway and asked Zhu Xiaozhao to stay with him. Chu Huan had to leave Cao Yunshang's room alone.

  But Chu Huan definitely won't wrong himself, so he immediately called Han Yang to prepare a car, and Chu Huan went to find Chen Yulian!

.

  When the time came to May, Xiangjiang once again came to a big man, North American Secretary of State Kissinger. Kissinger was going to his hometown. After finishing his trip in his hometown, he stopped by Xiangjiang.

   After Kissinger came to Hong Kong, it naturally attracted the attention of the political and business circles in Hong Kong. Hong Kong Governor MacLehose even went to the Peninsula Hotel to meet Kissinger in person.

  After the meeting between the two, MacLehose invited Kissinger to dinner, but Kissinger came to Xiangjiang in a private capacity, so he smiled and preached with MacLehose.

   "Mr. Governor is very sorry. I came to Xiangjiang this time mainly to meet an old friend. Let's find another time for dinner!"

  MacLehose smiled and said, "You mean Mr. Bao Yugang, right?"

  Kissinger said with a smile: "Bao Yugang is of course my old friend, but I am not meeting Mr. Bao tonight!"

   There is still a monthly pass. This is really embarrassing. Anyone who still has a monthly pass will give it to Huangshan~~ The typo will be corrected first, thank you everyone~~
