Chapter 326 [The Mansion That Makes People Proud for Twenty Years] (Please ask for a monthly pass!)
Wu Guangyao wears a safety helmet, shuttles on the construction site of the Global Building under construction, his face is full of pride.
Although the Building has not yet been completed, its reputation has spread throughout Hong Kong Island and abroad;
Being able to own such a building, I naturally feel extremely proud in my heart.
Chen Cheng, the person in charge of Hong Kong Island First Construction, followed Wu Guangyao and accompanied the boss to inspect;
Chen Cheng looked at a steel casting being installed, and couldn't help but sigh: "Boss, I can say that in Hong Kong Island for at least 20 years, there will be no buildings with such a high construction cost!"
Chen Cheng’s words should not be wrong. Within 25 years, there will be no building construction costs on Hong Kong Island that can exceed the Universal Building;
Because the construction cost of the entire Universal Tower is as high as 80 million Hong Kong dollars, which is higher than the construction cost of the entire Yangtze River Center;
Of course, due to the time difference, prices and artificial rise may be caused;
However, this increase in purchasing power will never exceed 30%.
Don’t forget that the Global Building is a building, and the Yangtze River Center is a commercial complex with seven large buildings.
The reason why Universal Building is high in cost, which ranks first in Southeast Asia, is because the entire project is not made of cement, but is made of huge steel pipes;
All steel components are prefabricated in the United States, and then pulled back to Hong Kong Island by freighter for on-site installation.
Moreover, the exterior of the entire building is entirely made of aluminum plates and glass, and the interior decoration is also luxurious and splendid.
"Do you know why I spent such a large sum of money to build the Global Building?" Wu Guangyao turned around, planning to test this subordinate.
Chen Cheng lowered his head, pondered for a moment, and raised his head and said, "Reputation, the boss is for reputation! If the Global Building is completed, the entire Asian and European buildings will not be comparable. There are not many buildings like the United States. At that time, the Global Building will surely be world-famous, while Global Shipping and Global Wharf will ride the wind and waves and rise to the next level!"
Wu Guangyao’s face was even more joyful. He patted Chen Cheng’s shoulder with a hand, and said with satisfaction: “You are very smart and easy to learn! I hope that one day, you can lead Hong Kong Island to build a landmark building in the world. , Then you will find that wealth is not our only pursuit!"
Chen Cheng said excitedly: “There will be this day, and our Hong Kong Island construction will surely resound like the Universal Tower at home and abroad.”
Wu Guangyao nodded, as long as people have ideals, they will have infinite motivation;
Hong Kong Island First Construction has good conditions in all aspects, coupled with the recent plan to acquire a builder from the United States, to completely make up for its shortcomings;
Perhaps future American builders will have to admit that this apprentice is better than the master.
The cost of the Universal Building is 80 million Hong Kong dollars, which is comparable to the HSBC Building in the 1980s. Therefore, Chen Cheng is right. The Universal Building can indeed be proud of more than 20 years.
The later HSBC Tower was completed in 1986, costing 5.5 billion Hong Kong dollars, and was listed as one of the five outstanding buildings on Hong Kong Island in the 1980s. The HSBC Tower was even listed as one of the top ten modern buildings of this century.
The Bank of China Tower, completed in 1989, is the tallest building on Hong Kong Island (70 floors), but the construction cost is only HK$1.3 billion.
One can imagine how extravagant HSBC was at that time.
In this era, the Universal Building is undoubtedly a luxury building for industry professionals on Hong Kong Island.
The land price is more than 30 million yuan, and the construction cost is more than 80 million yuan, which means that the Universal Building will cost a full 110 million Hong Kong dollars.
This was only in 1961, and the purchasing power in the 1980s was at least four billion.
Merely changing to purchasing power cannot reflect the value of the Global Building. If Wu Guangyao took this more than one billion to invest, at least it could appreciate more than 10 billion in the 1980s.
A friend said in front of Wu Guangyao: "Guangyao, with such a high construction cost, you can build four or five beautiful buildings, why bother?"
When facing his friends, Wu Guangyao would not be angry, but just explained:
"There is no problem with building technology in the world now for a 100-story building; even if it was built on Hong Kong Island, there is a technology for building a fifty-sixty-story building. Today you are taller than me, and tomorrow I am taller than you. What's the point of comparison? of?"
"But my Global Building uses the most expensive building materials and construction technology in the world, but no one cares about this kind of construction method."
"As you think, this is very uneconomical! The construction cost is so high, but the rent can't be raised too high, and you can't lose money!"
"Universal Tower is different, it is for self-use! Of course I don’t care about the cost, what I want is the reputation of Universal Group!"
"Like the original'Jeddah Agreement', in the eyes of outsiders, I have lost all the **** I lost; only the insider knows that I have made a lot of money."
This friend of Wu Guangyao is Guan Yi!
After listening to Wu Guangyao's explanation, Guan Yi suddenly realized;
It’s no wonder that I can only become a middle-class rich man on Hong Kong Island, and this is a world-class rich man, sooner or later, even Hong Kong Island can’t tolerate it.
Wu Guangyao carefully inspected the construction progress. At present, the construction of Global Building is just getting started;
The land was auctioned off in the spring of 1959, and the drawings and construction plan were finalized in the second half of the year, and the construction was less than a year;
The entire construction period is five years, that is, around the second half of 1964, the construction will be completed.
"Chen Cheng, after Hong Kong Island First Construction completed the acquisition of the Darling Construction Company in the United States, we can add another burden!" Wu Guangyao reminded Chen Chengdao.
Chen Cheng said confidently: "Please rest assured, boss. Since its establishment, Hong Kong Island Construction has been able to rely on your talent reserve plan; the company will always be able to take on the upcoming tasks and be ready at any time!"
Chen Cheng’s words are not flattering, because Wu Guangyao knows the future, so he will always allow his own companies to raise more ‘idle people’; in the upcoming expansion, there will always be someone who will come forward at any time, and they will always be elites.
Twelve years since the establishment of Hong Kong Island First Construction, it has been working **** the reserves of talents and technology;
The reason for acquiring an American construction company is not because it is not good at building beautiful buildings or building landmarks;
I want to use this construction company as a bridge to learn from the strengths of the American construction technology at any time.
Even the Yangtze River Design Institute is digging for design talents in Europe and America, but it is also considering acquiring a British design institute.
"It's good if you have confidence!" Wu Guangyao said.
After inspecting the newly built Global Building, Wu Guangyao and Chen Cheng came to the site of the Old Global Building;
This building was originally called Yatai Building. After Wu Guangyao bought it, it was immediately changed to Universal Building (old);
At the end of 1958, Cheung Kong Properties (personally owned) bought it from Cheung Kong Industrial and became Wu Guangyao’s private property.
In 1959, Cheung Kong Property was demolished and part of the surrounding land was purchased to prepare the Yangtze River Building.
Changjiang Building is naturally the headquarters of all the companies of the Yangtze River Group in the future. The so-called Yangtze River Group includes the headquarters of Cheung Kong Industrial, Hong Kong Island First Construction, Yangtze River Design Institute, Cheung Kong Real Estate, and 38 subsidiaries of the Yangtze River Group.
Looking at the Yangtze River Building under construction, Chen Cheng felt that he seemed more excited than seeing the Global Building;
Because I will be here in the future and have an office;
Moreover, with the strength of a building on Hong Kong Island, it will naturally occupy several floors of office buildings.
The construction cost of this building has returned to a reasonable level, but it is still considered luxurious on Hong Kong Island.
Take the Hang Seng Bank Building normally undertook by the Hong Kong Island Construction as an example. The Hang Seng Building is 22 floors high and the construction cost is 16 million Hong Kong dollars;
The Yangtze River Building is 28 stories high, and the construction cost is as high as 25 million Hong Kong dollars, which can be said to be another level of expensive.
Looking at the busy workers, Wu Guangyao was throbbing and asked. "How many workers are there on the Hong Kong Island First Construction Company?"
"More than 2,100 people! Because we have more contractors, the company has fewer workers." Chen Cheng said. The outsourcing policy of the Hong Kong Island Construction was proposed by the boss from the beginning. Over the years, the effect has been very good. of.
Although the company has fewer workers, it does not mean that there are fewer workers that can be transferred;
The construction of Hong Kong Island has supported many contractors over the years. In addition, the checkout is easy, so you can get as many workers as you want.
"Well, there have been a lot of people on the other side recently. They may be repatriated by the Hong Kong government. I remember fifteen years ago, I also went to Hong Kong Island to make a living for my livelihood. I have a deep understanding of this. So, you organize Some management, go to those refugees to recruit some coolies. Don't be too crowded, there are too many construction sites behind, but there is no problem in digesting 1,000 people." Wu Guangyao has a soft heart, and he has been doing this kind of things in recent years.
Companies such as PG Zipper, Uniqlo, and Global Shipping have taken in those people in recent years;
The so-called acceptance is not just to give them a job;
Rather, these companies brought these people directly to the factory from under the eyes of the British army.
In other words, the original history of these people should all be sent back.
In a few years, Wu Guangyao's company has taken in at least 3,000 people.
Of course, many people have arrived on Hong Kong Island without being caught by the British army. These people are undoubtedly lucky.
The population of Hong Kong Island has exceeded 3 million, which is the best proof!
Between 1959 and 1962, Hong Kong Island increased by at least more than 200,000 people, all of whom were hungry people on the opposite side.
As for transporting grain to the other side, because Dong Yunhao is in this business, Wu Guangyao cannot reduce the price too much, so as not to let others make no money.
In addition, the finances on the other side are not wealthy, and Global Shipping only dispatched 50,000-ton cargo ships to help purchase in Canada, Brazil and other countries.
