Chapter 251【London Storm】(Two chapters are combined into one, ask for monthly pass!)

One day in early August, Cheung Kong Industrial announced that 900 residential units would be sold a day in the "Purple City" real estate, which shocked Hong Kong and Kowloon.

Changjiang Industrial is a blockbuster!

At this time, the housing price on Hong Kong Island has risen to 25-28 Hong Kong dollars per square foot, and the price of a set of 600 square feet is more than 15,000 Hong Kong dollars;

Even so, the house sells better. Under the promotion of capital and the hype of selling off-plan properties, real estate has become the hottest industry in recent years.

Of course, because of the depreciation of the Hong Kong dollar and rising prices, the average wage of male workers has risen from 25 Hong Kong dollars in 1947 to around 50 Hong Kong dollars now.

The fourth building developed by Yangtze River Industrial, "Zijin City", has returned part of the funds, plus the loan from HSBC, totaling 20 million Hong Kong dollars, all of which was used as the start-up capital of the "Yangtze River Center" commercial complex.

At the end of August, Wu Guangyao invited all the well-known figures on Hong Kong Island and announced in a high-profile manner that it would build a unique commercial complex in the world and create Hong Kong Island’s business card.

Blue sky and white clouds, clear sky.

In a clearing in Tsim Sha Tsui, Kowloon, there was a crowd of people, and everyone was curiously looking at the sand table model and showing the blueprint.

"It's magnificent! An 80,000-square-foot shopping mall, thousands of commercial units, two super hotels, and apartments are all worth hundreds of millions of dollars!" A Chinese businessman exclaimed.

"Can you sell so many shops and office buildings?" my colleagues couldn't help but ask.

"I heard that it only rents but does not sell, and I don’t know what God of Fortune thought! If you don’t sell, then all the funds to invest in the "Yangtze River Center" have to be raised by yourself, even with the land price. I am afraid that it will be invested 100 million yuan, which is a lot of pressure. what!"

"Then you don't have to worry, God of Fortune, a zipper company, earns this amount every year!"

"That can't be counted like that! The investment in the'Yangtze River Center' is so large, what if you lose sight of Jingzhou?"

A group of people talked a lot, and everyone seemed to think that Wu Guangyao was a little overwhelming this time!

Some heads of foreign companies also gathered together, and everyone’s faces were a bit solemn!

The real estate industry on Hong Kong Island has always been dominated by British and foreign capital. Unexpectedly, there will be a Chinese-owned giant in the sky, which makes these proud foreigners unavoidable.

Of course, in terms of the amount of land reserves, Cheung Kong can not keep up with these British-owned foreign companies, but these British-owned foreign companies dare not develop!

To say that it sounds good is to be conservative, and to say that it sounds bad is to be timid!

For example, the Land Company, known as the king of the Central District of Hong Kong Island, has as many buildings in the Central District, and they are all in prosperous areas;

If it is Wu Guangyao, then he did not hesitate to push the original five-story commercial building and build all of it into a high-rise building, which is both profitable and magnificent.

Of course, not everyone has such a long-term vision!

British companies owned a lot of land, but they only started large-scale development in the 1970s and 1980s. They also have the advantage that the Hong Kong government will sell them good plots. This is the so-called mischief!

After the groundbreaking ceremony was completed, Wu Guangyao accepted an interview from the media.

"Mr. Wu, Cheung Kong claims that this project will cost 100 million Hong Kong dollars. Is this taking the money of the people of Hong Kong Island to build the "Yangtze River Center"?" The reporters from Sing Tao News are coming fiercely, and it is natural for the boss of Oriental News. To dig a hole.

"People's money? I don't open a bank. How can people's money exist with me? This reporter seems to have mistaken people, but reporters need to be professional!" Wu Guangyao casually teased.

The reporters burst into laughter, especially Wu Guangyao’s own reporter who laughed the loudest. If you dare to fight our boss, you have to come back and remake it!

"The money that the Changjiang Industrial sells off-plan properties is not the people's money?" Sing Tao News looked at Wu Guangyao and ridiculed himself, and said loudly.

"It seems that I am not wrong. Your professionalism is not enough. You should learn how to buy and sell off-plan housing! People only pay 10% to 20% of the down payment for buying off-plan housing. This little money is only enough to build a house. How can we invest in other projects when the project is launched and the foundation is laid." Wu Guangyao said.

The reporters said to the face:

"That's right!"

"Use bank loans to make it!"

"The payment for the house is paid, it is the real estate company's money!"

"This is not a bank, how can it be people's money!"

Sing Tao News reporters were defeated, and soon they were pushed to the back by other reporters. They were not as aggressive as they were before!

"Mr. Wu, the Yangtze River Center claims to cost 100 million Hong Kong dollars, but it is not for sale; I would like to ask, since Cheung Kong has developed such a large project, will there be funds to participate in the construction of other real estate in the future?" a reporter from the newspaper asked.

"The construction period of the Yangtze River Center commercial complex is about four years. In addition to developing its own land, Cheung Kong will no longer purchase land for development during these four years." Wu Guangyao said generously.

Changjiang Industrial owns a lot of land, so naturally it will not buy high-priced land to open it!

After the groundbreaking ceremony, the construction of the ‘Yangtze River Center’ began. Since it was a cooperation with an American builder, Wu Guangyao did not worry about encountering technical problems.

The only thing Wu Guangyao needs to remind is that the establishment of Hong Kong Island needs to learn with an humility, and strive to be able to stand alone in the future.

Wu Guangyao went to London to participate in the award, and the 92-year-old He Dong was also with him.

He Dong still has a life span of less than a year, and now he is sitting in a wheelchair and can’t stand anymore;

Unexpectedly, I still thought about going to London to accept the award. This is really energetic!

On the plane, Wu Guangyao accompanied He Dong to chat. Although this person is old and frail, people often say that he is old and good. It is not unreasonable!

He Dong pointed out Wu Guangyao's principles of life and work, and Wu Guangyao accepted it humbly;

As for commercial issues, He Dong knew that he had nothing to guide, so he didn't mention it.

The plane landed in London, Wu Guangyao was picked up by Kayla and went to a villa in the suburbs of London.

Wu Guangyao and Kayla’s mixed son, Wu Xianlei, is almost four years old. Don’t mention how happy the little guy is with the arrival of his father.

In the past two years, father and son have met a lot. Sometimes Kayla will take her son to Hong Kong Island for vacation, and Wu Guangyao will accompany him as much as possible to avoid becoming unfamiliar.

That night, after taking away his son, Wu Guangyao and Kaila let go of hand-to-hand combat in the room until both were exhausted.

"I want to have a daughter!" Kayla nestled in Wu Guangyao's arms and looked at Wu Guangyao obsessively.

"Our family does not have a throne!" Wu Guangyao made a joke, saying that the British royal family is a female ~ the king ruled.

"I'm going to die! You can't talk nonsense about this, if someone hears it, you will be in trouble!" Kayla said irritably, the man was simply bold.

"Isn’t this just the two of us? With only the two of us, you are my Queen of London. I want to ride on you and make you beg for mercy!" Wu Guangyao seemed to have thought of something, and once again revived his ‘Xiongfeng’.

The war is back, Wu Guangyao relies on his fantasy to come back with Kayla again!

Stop the army and stop the war, Kayla said dissatisfied: "Did you think of other women in your mind? I tell you, when awarding the title, you'd better be honest. I don't want my children to rely on in the future!"

Naturally, Wu Guangyao would not admit it, so he quickly denied it!

Not to mention the position of the London royal family in the hearts of English people, but Kayla is also very important in Wu Guangyao's heart!

Kayla looked at Wu Guangyao’s attitude, and she was relieved!

This man is daring, but he still knows how things are right!

The next day, Wu Guangyao and Kayla came to Metro.

Metro has developed rapidly in recent years. Although there is still only one large supermarket, chain convenience stores have developed rapidly.

At present, the Metro chain retailer owns a large supermarket in London, and there are 76 Metro chain convenience stores and 32 McDonald’s fast food restaurants across the country, which can be described as a relatively strong chain retailer in England.

But Metro has also encountered a bottleneck, that is, its soft power is not enough and its development is a bit limited!

This so-called soft power means that there is no support from consortia and officials, and there is not enough influence.

How to change this situation, Wu Guangyao has already figured out a way, and that is to go public and recruit consortia into the army!

Cakes are always to be shared. Eating alone is not a good idea after all.

When Wu Guangyao told Kayla about this idea, Kayla was not surprised. Even if Wu Guangyao didn't propose it, Kayla also intended to go public.

"How many shares are appropriate to sell?" Kayla asked.

"Let’s release the news first, and see what those consortia intend to talk about!"

This kind of thing is naturally left to Kailena. Kailena is a talent, and also a socialite, very good at public relations.

Watching Kalena leave the office coquettishly, Kayla couldn’t help cursing: "Vixie!"

Wu Guangyao smiled and said: "How can there be such a subordinate behind it, and it is your right arm!"

When a woman becomes jealous, she will naturally not make sense, especially when Kailena gets along with Wu Guangyao every time, her seductive attitude makes Kaila very annoyed!

"I'm going to say, she is a vixen in the first place, look at her eyes, tusk, if you bend your fingers, she will definitely jump on it!" Kayla said dissatisfied.

"Forget about expelling her!" Wu Guangyao said casually.

"No, fire her, who will show up for me!" Kayla said quickly.

"Haha, that's it! She is good at public relations and communication. Would you like to make her look serious at me? This is not in line with her character! Don't worry, what kind of woman does your man want? , Isn't it necessary to find a woman who is almost forty!" Speaking of women's fate, Wu Guangyao became confident.

Next, the two stopped discussing this topic, but discussed the future of Metro.

Listed naturally to collect money, but this money is definitely not for two people to cash out, but for the development of the company.

At present, if Metro wants to develop, it must strengthen itself through mergers and acquisitions and overseas expansion.

Refer to those large-scale companies, all of them are through mergers and acquisitions to grow themselves. If you only rely on your own development, it is impossible to develop quickly; but it is precisely when you do business, the timing is very important. Once you miss it, you may never have a chance again.

Metro brand is definitely a sweet potato, although it is far from the scale of the predecessors of Tesco retailers;

However, Metro’s model is not the most optimistic; any consortium will find that Metro’s model is very competitive, which cannot be compared by other chains.

For example, Metro Convenience Stores are very particular about location selection. They generally like to open on the side of busy pedestrians. Convenient food will be provided in the morning, afternoon and evening, and the freshness of the food will be guaranteed. It expires at 12 and will never be kept until 12 Over 1 point; Metro convenience stores do not focus on cheap prices, but focus on product quality, which will highlight the value of single items; Metro convenience stores will take care of some people and open from 6 am to 12 pm (the cost is greatly increased) , It can even be said to be at a loss to facilitate others)

In short, Metro Convenience Store takes ‘customer experience’ as its core to develop itself!

Wu Guangyao once preached to Metro's management: "We must be guided by user value, where the user needs, products and services. We must have the idea and determination to provide high-quality services, not to make money for money. ."

On the third day, Wu Guangyao finally came to Baijin~Han Palace to participate in the award ceremony.

Wu Guangyao received a brief etiquette training in Baijin~Han Palace, and then came to the hall; at this time, many people gathered in the hall, compared with officials from the royal family and the government.

Wu Guangyao has two psychology, one is the psychology of ordinary people in the past life: whether you are the head of state or any **** royal family, anyway, regardless of your own business, the world is the biggest;

One is the pretentious psychology of this world: I am a traverser, a **** descending to the earth (somewhat reasonable), why is my identity lower than you!

With these two kinds of psychology, Wu Guangyao is calm and calm, and his facial expression is controlled in a calm state, which makes people unable to pick out the thorns, nor can he see any flattery.

Wu Guangyao saw the female Wang for the first time, and his expression of surprise flashed by. This female Wang has a very high value!

It is said that her younger sister, Princess Margot, is more beautiful, and I don’t know if I can meet her at the evening reception.

I have no idea, just curious about these celebrities.

This princess Margot is very famous in his descendants. At the age of 16, he fell in love with a guard officer who was married. After being dismantled, her feelings were very unhappy. She even became the first person to divorce the British royal family in the 20th century. .

When it was Wu Guangyao's turn, Wu Guangyao stepped forward. He was about 1.8 meters tall and still put some pressure on the woman ~ Wang, even if she was standing on the steps.

"Your Majesty" Wu Guangyao bent down slightly and performed a courtesy. Because it was in a formal place, he could only be called Your Majesty. If it was a late reception, Wu Guangyao could be called a lady instead of being so formal.

"Lord Wu Guangyao, thank you for your contribution to Hong Kong Island!" said the female Wang.

"This is what I should do, because I am a Hong Kong Islander!"

Meet the girl~Wang naturally cannot come empty-handed. This is a tradition. Wu Guangyao’s gift is also very useful. It is a limited-level radio manufactured by Lenovo, which is very representative!

"This is a limited edition radio produced by my electrical company. It is the most advanced radio in the world. Give it to your majesty!"

"Is it made on Hong Kong Island?"

"It will be made on Hong Kong Island in the future, but now it is made in Dongying!"

The young queen nodded. For this Chinese, the English cabinet gave herself enough information. The advice given by London is to focus on wining.

The award ceremony started, Wu Guangyao couldn't help it if he was not serious. It was really where the atmosphere was!

Fortunately, there is no need to kneel, so Wu Guangyao breathed a sigh of relief.

A lord quickly got his hands, Wu Guangyao thought, there are so many royal families in Europe, can he get a few more!
