Chapter 204 Invitation from the Governor of Hong Kong

The veto power of China-Pakistan has been obtained, which at least indicates that the acquisition of China-Pakistan is halfway completed.

Next, you need to take some time to slowly look for opportunities and then acquire more stocks step by step.

After all, this is a company that has just gone public, and the family that actually controls the company still holds a considerable amount of shares. The more such a company is, the harder it is to acquire it. Even if it weren't for the cooperation of the family of the second founder, Huang Yaonan, the acquisition opportunity would have been impossible.

In early March, Yang Wendong, Su Yiyi and a group of senior executives of the company once again came to the Wharf Terminal.

The seven cargo ships purchased from the United States had already arrived in Hong Kong during the Chinese New Year, and then entered the Huangpu Dockyard for maintenance and registration change procedures, etc.

Today is also the first day that we are fully loaded with cargo and ready for the long voyage.

There are 7 cargo ships, 4 of which are going to the United States, 2 to Japan, and 1 to Europe.

Yang Wendong also met with seven captains at the port and prepared red envelopes for all crew members.

"Thank you, Mr. Yang." Seven people, including the first captain Sun Zhiwei, said almost in unison after receiving the red envelopes.

Yang Wendong said with a smile: "Everyone, thank you for your hard work on the rest of the journey."

"Mr. Yang, you're too polite." Sun Zhiwei said with a smile, "This is also our job."

"Okay." Yang Wendong nodded and said, "I won't say more. Let's get ready to set off. Also, pay attention to safety on the road. As for supplies, be fully prepared. As long as you don't waste them, I will approve it."

"Okay, no problem." Sun Zhiwei replied.

After exchanging pleasantries for a while, Sun Zhiwei took a few people away and each returned to their own boats to prepare for a long voyage.

After everyone left, Zheng Yuhua said, "Mr. Yang, Mr. Wei, the seven cargo ships this time carried our own suitcases, but on the return trip, we don't need so many plastic particles.

So except for one ship, the others will do normal shipping business, picking up various goods for the return trip.”

"Well, okay, you are the person in charge of the shipping company, you decide these things." Yang Wendong nodded and said:

"But we should also try to choose goods that take a short time to load and unload. Although the loading fee for large goods will be more expensive, our more important goal is to return to Hong Kong as soon as possible to transport our own products."

Plastic boxes are empty, while plastic particles are solid. The same ship can obviously carry more tonnage of plastic particles.

Although Changxing Group has now established a Changxing Trading Company to compete with several trade banks for business, the demand for plastic pellets in Hong Kong is not so high that every return ship needs to be filled with pellets.

Especially with Japan, which is so close, if the cargo can be loaded and unloaded faster, there can be two or three round trips a month.

"Okay, no problem. Everything will be based on the needs of Changxing Industrial." Zheng Yuhua agreed.

Wei Zetao said with a smile: "Ms. Zheng, next, Changxing Shipping still needs to gradually develop into an independent shipping company.

By July, when our joint venture factory in Taiwan is completed, we will no longer need ocean-going cargo ships to transport plastic raw materials. From now on, you will only need to transport our products.”

Yang Wendong nodded and said, "Yes, but we need to buy a small offshore cargo ship to transport goods between Taiwan and Hong Kong. The distance is so short that one ship is enough. This ship does not need to consider bringing goods to Taiwan, and can just transport raw materials."

"Okay, there are such ships in Hong Kong." Zheng Yuhua said with a smile: "The price is not very expensive."

Yang Wendong added: "Speaking of prices, Changxing Shipping will also have independent finances in the future. Lao Wei, you will need to pay for future freight at the normal price. At most, you can give a discount for large quantities.
Changxing Shipping will be like other Hong Kong shipping companies in the future, and will need better financial data to facilitate bank financing.”

The original intention of doing shipping was to save money for Changxing Industry and improve efficiency. However, now that Changxing Industry has given the money to Changxing Shipping, it is like giving from the left hand to the right hand, so it doesn’t matter.

Wei Zetao agreed and said, "No problem, we will pay the shipping costs normally."

Zheng Yuhua said with a smile: "Don't worry, Mr. Wei, I will charge according to the single ship, not the cargo charges of other shipping companies."

"Okay, that's it for today." Yang Wendong nodded and said, "From now on, everyone should cooperate well internally to maximize the benefits, and then everyone's income will increase significantly."

The management team that I hired a few years ago has naturally seen a lot more income now.

Everyone starts a business or works for money, not for ideals, and Yang Wendong will not be stingy with what he deserves.

"Okay, don't worry, Mr. Yang." The two agreed in unison.

After returning to Changxing Industry with Wei Zetao.

Yang Wendong asked, "Is everything about the industrial park in Kwun Tong almost ready?"

"All the information has been prepared." Wei Zetao said, "We just need to wait until Changxing Real Estate is almost ready, then we'll be done."

"Well, Zheng Zhijie is also fine. In the past two months, he has also acquired a lot of land and properties in Kwun Tong." Yang Wendong paused and said, "The information has been sorted out. Just write a simple description for me."

During this period, Changxing Real Estate has been acquiring properties and land in Kwun Tong even during the Chinese New Year, and its actions are very big. After all, it is impossible to acquire a large number of assets in a short period of time slowly.

The funds used were partly mobilized by Yang Wendong from Changxing Industry, and most of them were loans from Liao Chongxing.

Today, Liu Chong Hing Bank can be said to be the largest creditor of the Cheung Hing Group, with a debt of more than 10 million Hong Kong dollars. Conversely, it is estimated that the Cheung Hing Group is also one of Liu Chong Hing's largest customers.

"Okay." Wei Zetao said again: "Mr. Yang, according to our plan, the land we need to buy is very large, almost 800 million feet (80 square meters);
If we add in the demolition costs, land purchase costs, leveling costs and subsequent construction costs, the amount of funds will be very large. Although Changxing Industry can afford it, it will also consume too much funds. "

"I know that." Yang Wendong nodded and said, "I will discuss this issue with the Hong Kong government. The land will not be free, but it must be cheap.

I will borrow money from the bank for other funds. However, for such a large project, which is industrial land, I think it may not be enough to just mortgage the land. Changxing Industry also needs to mortgage it directly. "Okay, I will sort out the relevant financial information." Wei Zetao agreed.

Yang Wendong smiled and said, "Don't worry, although this piece of land is large, it is in Kwun Tong after all, and not in the town center, so the price won't be very high.

Compared to a new cargo ship that costs one or two million dollars, Hong Kong real estate is still not good enough.”

In the early 60s, Hong Kong's housing prices were only 1/10 of what they would be a decade later. Compared to 1 or 100 years later, they were probably only /, and in some places even less than that.

Industrial products like cargo ships become more expensive the earlier they are made. Even in the 70s, a super-large cargo ship or oil tanker was more valuable than the Central Building.

Although the land he wanted was large enough, it was not in a prime location, and the price was still within his financial means.

"I understand." Wei Zetao replied.

That day, Yang Wendong made an appointment with his old friend Elena;
The next day, he even arranged his own car and went to pick people up across the harbor in person.

"Elena." Yang Wendong smiled and said, "You look very energetic."

Elena said with a smile: “Eric, I am of course very energetic after getting in your car. You don’t know that my neighbors were stunned when they saw your luxury car.”

"If you like it, I can give you one." Yang Wendong said, "I'll also give you a driver, and the insurance and fuel costs will be mine from now on."

He was truly grateful to Elena, whose help in the early days of his business was the most important in promoting his early career;

Moreover, such a person is someone who devotes his whole life to charity. Yang Wendong cannot do such a thing, but he admires it very much.

"Eric, you are joking. I won't take a penny from you, but you can donate it to other poor people." Elena shook her head and said, "Besides, I don't dare to sit in such a luxury car often. If you come to pick me up next time, just arrange an ordinary car."

"Okay." Yang Wendong agreed. He didn't force Elena to accept his kindness. People like her were just like that. All he needed to do was respect them.

After the two sat down, Yang Wendong personally made her a cup of coffee.

Elena asked, "Eric, did you call me here to talk about what I talked about last time I came over?"

"Yes, I plan to make a large-scale investment in Kwun Tong," Yang Wendong said with a smile.

Elena was delighted: "Really?"

Yang Wendong nodded and said, “Yes, but it may be different from what you imagine. I am planning to make a large-scale investment in Kwun Tong;
This is definitely the largest industrial investment in Hong Kong’s history, which involves many issues, such as

Afterwards, Yang Wendong told us about his investment plan.

However, these are just some simple and direct surface data. The actual investment details are not mentioned, and there is no need to explain them clearly.

It is mainly related to Hong Kong government policies, land, water, electricity, demolition and other issues.

He needs Elena's help to report to the top leaders of the Hong Kong government. This can be regarded as a way of repaying Elena.

This time, she has made a great contribution in solving the unemployment problem that has been a headache for the Hong Kong government, which can be regarded as a political achievement.

After listening to it, Elena was surprised and said: “Eric, your investment plan is really great. Once such an investment is implemented, it can basically completely solve the problems of Kwun Tong;
Even Kwun Tong’s economy can be further developed, and perhaps it can become a wealthy place.”

Yang Wendong said with a smile: "In fact, even if there is no Kwun Tong event, I will also plan this event in the near future. As for the location, it will definitely be in Hong Kong.

There is a huge shortage of jobs in Kwun Tong right now, and I am also short of people and flat land here, so we can be considered complementary.”

"Okay, I will report this matter as soon as I return." At this moment, Elena also seemed to want to go back immediately.

Yang Wendong nodded and said, "I'll arrange a car to take you back. It's an ordinary car."

"Thank you." Elena said, "Eric, you may have really saved a lot of lives. Although these people will not know that they were saved by you in the future."

"Anyone's actions may indirectly save lives." Yang Wendong said with a faint smile: "I also pursue the development of everyone, and at the same time help many people get rid of poverty."

In fact, in a few years, even if there is a real estate crisis, the development of Hong Kong's industry can basically prevent large numbers of people from starving.

This is the benefit brought by industrialization. Even the most basic low-end industry or even polluting industry can help an agricultural or poor area escape basic poverty.

In these last few years, I have also tried my best to develop industry and help the last batch of poor people.

As for the period after 68, the poor may refer to those who cannot afford to buy a house and live in poor conditions. In that case, this issue is no longer a matter of life and death.

"This is a very good model." Elena added: "I will inform you when my boss has further news."

"Okay." Yang Wendong said.

Then he sent her out personally.

Three days later, Elena visited again. After greeting each other, she said, "Eric, Mr. Governor, I want to invite you to the Governor's House."
