Chapter 676 Completion of Hong Kong's First Building
Chapter 676 Completion of the First Hong Kong Building
Hong Kong's Hang Seng Index continued to rise, and at the end of October, it successfully broke through 10 points. Countless stock investors were crazy about it, and a lot of capital was also trying to participate in this last feast;
Yang Wendong felt a chill in his heart as he looked at the series of newspapers in front of him that all had celebratory covers. Now, because of his butterfly effect, or the addition of Hutchison Whampoa's acquisition of HK Electric and other influences, the Hang Seng Index was higher than its previous historical high, and the market even believed that it would definitely break through 2000 in a month or two.
You know, in history, the Hang Seng Index fell directly to the lowest point of 150. The current bubble is so big that for people who enter the market now or any capital, the next target is very likely to be the rooftop of a building.
At this moment, assistant Aying walked in, and Yang Wendong asked with a smile: "Aying, you are so smiling, did you make a fortune in the stock market?"
Yang Wendong was surrounded by several heads of subsidiaries, several powerful department heads of the headquarters office, and several of his core assistants.
According to general management, one person managing 10-20 people is basically the daily limit, and then managing down in turn. This is the case for all large companies. Normally, he only communicates with these people on the company and life levels. Therefore, in addition to the company hierarchical relationship, the relationship on a daily basis is not bad.
Ah Ying smiled and replied, "Everyone is making money in the stock market now, but I have also started cashing out recently. It feels a bit dangerous."
"Yeah, smart." Yang Wendong nodded and asked, "What else?"
In fact, he also knew that many of the company's senior executives followed his footsteps. After all, the company's operations in the stock market or real estate market require a lot of manpower to operate;
Strictly speaking, this is not considered insider trading because it does not target the stock of his own company. Yang Wendong generally does not care about it, as long as these people do their own job well.
Ah Ying said, "The renovations at Kang Le Building have passed a third-party hazardous material inspection. Would you like to go over and take a look?"
"Well, okay. Then let's go and take a look after the lunch break today. We can also ask the heads of other departments to go with us." Yang Wendong nodded and said.
The Kangle Building has been renovated for a while and is currently being left to dry in order to remove toxic odors such as formaldehyde. After all, for anyone, good health is much more important than making money.
In order to ensure that there were no problems, before moving in, he specially hired three professional third-party teams to detect decoration odors and conduct a comprehensive inspection. They would only move in after confirming that there were no problems.
Ah Ying agreed: "Okay, I'll go inform them right away."
In the afternoon, many senior executives of the company came to the interior of the Kangle Building and went to the 50th floor of the building. This will also be the floor where Yang Wendong and a few senior executives or assistants of the headquarters will work in the future;
There are 52 floors in total in Kangle Building, but due to feng shui reasons, the top floor is not used as the boss's office. Although Yang Wendong does not believe this, he knows that the top floor does have some bad points, and the scenery from the 50th and 52nd floors is similar, so he naturally agreed.
"The scenery here is really beautiful." Su Yiyi said, looking into the distance.
In addition to the company's senior executives, people from the Yang family naturally came as well. Several children were holding telescopes in their hands. The weather today was also very good. Looking out from the tallest building in Hong Kong, half of Hong Kong's houses, streets, straits, and mountains were all within sight.
Bai Yushan smiled and said, "Let someone install a high-precision telescope, and I think we will be able to see the scenery of the mainland in the future."
Yang Wendong shook his head and said, "It's unlikely. There are too many mountains, blocking the view. Besides, why do you want to see the scenery inland?"
Bai Yushan said casually: "Nothing, I just want to take a look. My father is old now, and I always wonder if I can go back to the mainland in the future. I want to go back to my roots and take a look."
"Aren't people from Hong Kong welcome to visit the country now?" Su Yiyi asked back.
Yang Wendong replied: "No, at present, the country only welcomes Hong Kong businessmen to go to the Canton Fair, but not to other places."
Older people all have some memories of their childhood. It’s not that their childhood was so good, but that it is a childhood that can never be returned to. There is also the nostalgia for their deceased parents and grandparents. When they are gone, we can only miss them by seeing their things.
Bai Yushan nodded and said, "Yes, I can't go."
Yang Wendong said, "Wait a little longer. I think the current policies in the mainland may change in the future."
Bai Yushan asked, "Really?" "Maybe." Yang Wendong didn't know much to say, after all, even in the mainland, he himself might not be familiar with the four words "reform and opening up";
After visiting the 50th floor, the group went up to the roof, where a helicopter landing pad was prepared, which was also specially requested by Yang Wendong;
It is already the 70s, and helicopter technology has been developed for some time. If you have the chance in the future, you may also consider buying one. After all, with the development of Hong Kong's economy, traffic jams will only get worse. When you are in a traffic jam, no matter what level of super rich you are or what car you drive, you will have to suffer the same consequences.
If Yang Wendong hadn't been concerned about safety, he would have bought it long ago.
The wind was strong on the top floor, so they didn't stay there for long. After walking around the building, Yang Wendong asked, "Which day is auspicious? Are you planning to move in?"
The opening of a large building in Hong Kong must be held on an auspicious day. This is the industry practice of the entire market.
Ah Ying replied: "I have already asked Master Cai, and the auspicious date is set for December 12th. We also have a month before that to move a lot of information in."
"December 12th? That's fine." Yang Wendong nodded;
Even if it is an ordinary family moving, the things that don’t seem to be many on a normal day will actually be a lot to move, and it may take several days to move them all;
The relocation of Changxing Group's headquarters is naturally more time-consuming. Even if you hire a professional moving company, it will take a certain amount of time. In particular, a lot of data must be moved in an orderly manner, otherwise it will cause confusion or data loss, which will cause big trouble.
Ah Ying added, "On that day, I am also planning to invite a professional team to celebrate, but do we need to invite media friends? I'll let Mr. Yang decide."
"The opening of the Kangle Building will naturally be a big event." Yang Wendong smiled and said, "We'll invite some media to come, and everyone can come and participate. We'll also invite some business friends to come. They invited me to their building openings before."
The Connaught Building is now the No. 1 building in Hong Kong. The opening of a building of this level naturally needs to be more lively, and it can also promote the company;
"Yes." Ah Ying replied;
Around 3pm, after looking at the new building for a while, everyone returned to Changxing Building. It was a rare occasion for everyone to get together, so they reported some recent events in their respective companies.
At present, the business of each company is developing normally, nothing special. Honor Electronics is developing particularly rapidly. Wang Zhiqun said: "Mr. Yang, the 4004 chip production factory has been built and has begun small-scale production, but the current yield rate is still relatively low."
"Have you found the reason?" Yang Wendong asked.
He didn't know much about the chip industry, but his experience in the Internet in his previous life taught him that the yield rate was the most important factor in determining the life or death of a company. With the same technology, if the quality control was good and the yield rate was low, then the cost could be reduced and the price could be lowered, thus becoming the market winner.
Wang Zhiqun said: "It is not certain yet, but it should be due to the lack of technical experience of the production staff. Although I have also hired some overseas engineers, they cannot cover the entire production line. Some of the production lines are still managed by Chinese people who were sent abroad to study and then returned to Hong Kong."
Yang Wendong nodded and said, "Well, lack of experience is indeed a problem. We should try to learn as much as possible from the problems and strive to achieve a normal yield rate as soon as possible."
Now Honor Electronics also has to start overcoming technical problems, which naturally requires a certain amount of time and cost, just like Samsung in its early history, which took several years to achieve some results;
On his side, he was much stronger than Samsung in the early days. At least in terms of financial resources, he was willing to fully support chip production. Unlike Samsung Electronics, it was still Lee Kun-hee's sole effort in the early days, and there was no support within the Samsung Group for this.
At the same time, the chip technology of this era is not very advanced. With the efforts of East Asians, it is not difficult to succeed. If Japan, South Korea and Taiwan were able to succeed in the past, then Hong Kong must be able to do so as well.
"Okay." Wang Zhiqun agreed.
At this time, Qi Ruifan from TVB said, “Mr. Yang, I have an idea. Hong Kong’s economy is not bad now, and the public’s demand for watching color TV programs is getting higher and higher;
Although Hong Kong now has color televisions, there are no color signals, so I want to replace the signal equipment and switch all to color TV signals.
"Okay, that's no problem, I support it." Yang Wendong would naturally not disagree;
From radio to black and white TV to color TV, this is an inevitable requirement for economic development in any place, including Europe, America, Japan, South Korea and the mainland in the future;
When TVB was first established, there were not many televisions in Hong Kong, so they naturally used the black-and-white television signals that everyone was accustomed to. When this signal was sent to a color TV, the content was also in black and white, and vice versa.
Moreover, changing the color signal can also stimulate the sales of Honor's color TVs. Although the Hong Kong market is not large, it can be considered as a side benefit.
Qi Ruifan smiled and said, "Okay, I'll send the plan over tomorrow."
"Well, just show it to the headquarters, and if there's no problem, that's fine." Yang Wendong said again;
He is generally responsible for whether to do a project or not, while the review of the project itself is the responsibility of the people at the headquarters, who review it from the perspectives of investment comparison, price, risk, finance, and law;
No problem, give it to Yang Wendong for signature.
Qi Ruifan agreed: "Understood."
