Chapter 342 [Golf Course] (Ask a monthly pass!)

One weekend in February, Deep Water Bay became lively, and cars came one after another. The discerning person knew at a glance that the characters in these cars were either rich or expensive.

These cars drove into a newly built road, and the end of the road seemed to be a two-story building.

"What's in there, why are there so many cars there today!" a tourist from Deep Water Bay asked curiously.

Then no one around can answer this question. Everyone just looked over there with curiosity in their eyes.

Looking across the road along the coast is a row of trees and fences. Everyone understands that it should belong to private land, and it is unknown what is inside.

The golf course in Deep Water Bay was finally completed and put into use. Wu Guangyao specially invited some celebrities from Hong Kong Island to visit, intending to introduce the sport to Hong Kong Island.

The golf course in Deep Water Bay has only nine holes in total, which is half of the 18-hole standard course. After all, the grass in Deep Water Bay is only this big.

After the completion of   , Wu Guangyao specially hired coaches and managers from Scotland to come to Hong Kong to train a group of professional golf talents for Wu Guangyao.

While Wu Guangyao is teaching Lin Yueru how to play golf at this time, a coach is giving verbal guidance on the side;

For his own woman, Wu Guangyao naturally couldn't bear a male coach to teach him, so he got on the horse himself.

"Husband, have you played golf before, how do I feel that you are good at it?" Lin Yueru asked curiously.

"Yes, I have played in London several times! Besides, there is nothing your husband can't do besides having children!" Wu Guangyao joked.

"disgusting!"

While the two were flirting with each other, Wu Guangyao’s first guest soon arrived, and it was Governor Bo Liji.

Bo Liji, led by the staff, came to Wu Guangyao;

At this time, he put on a casual outfit, which was specially prepared by Wu Guangyao for golf clothes.

"Mr. Wu, really courageous. I didn't expect to have such a beautiful golf course on Hong Kong Island." Bai Liji looked around and couldn't help sighing.

"The Governor has played golf?" Wu Guangyao asked.

"Have never played, but the Financial Secretary Sir Robert Kwok is a golfer. You can play it later!"

"Then I will first let Coach William accompany the Governor to practice, and then the Governor can play golf when he is free to relax."

Wu Guangyao introduced the coach hired from England with a high salary to Bai Liji, and let Coach William teach it.

Wu Guangyao only hired two professional coaches from England, but apparently Bo Liji is qualified to let a coach train him today.

Introducing golf. Although Wu Guangyao also wants to have this hobby, he also has a tool for socializing.

Then a number of guests came, including the chief of the Hong Kong Island Three Divisions, HSBC Bank Sundars, Jardine Matheson Keswick, Swire Pacific Shiyoke, Wheelock and Little Madden, Hutchison Peddler, etc. Many well-known foreigners on the island;

Because this golf is a business nature, Wu Guangyao invited more than a dozen well-known foreigners.

There are also many Chinese, including more than 20 big shipowners such as Dong Yunhao, Bao Yugang, Zhao Congxian, Zheng Yutong, He Shanheng, Li Zhaoji, Guo Desheng, and other famous wealthies of later generations, as well as Wu Guangyao’s friends. Guan Yi, Li Jia, Zhao Xi and others, and some executives from Wu Guangyao also came here.

With so many people here today, everyone can’t enjoy playing golf naturally. At most, they can swing a few shots under the guidance of the coach;

In addition to the two coaches hired from England, the golf course also has twelve caddies;

These caddies have also undergone more than two months of full-time training. Although they are not masters, there is no problem in imparting some rules and actions.

It doesn’t matter if you don’t enjoy playing golf. The buildings on the side of the golf course have many functions;

For example, hosting receptions, banquets, coffee shops, and even swimming pools. In short, this is a top club for later generations.

After everyone was almost there, everyone came to the place to practice swing, which is the first floor of the building.

There are a total of twelve places to practice swing. Everyone will practice politely for a few minutes without being overly addicted.

"Mr. Wu, this golf course is amazing!" Financial Secretary Guo Bowei couldn't help sighing.

If these colonial officials want to play golf, they can only enjoy themselves when they return to the UK for vacation. The golf course established by Wu Guangyao is a boon for them.

"If Sir Guo likes it, here is always open for you!" Wu Guangyao said with a smile.

Wu Guangyao can be said to be full of affection for Guo Bowei (Scotsman). This is an economic expert. His theory of free economic system has made great achievements on Hong Kong Island and made great contributions to the economy of Hong Kong Island. Contribution.

Guo Bowei served as the Financial Secretary on Hong Kong Island from 1961 to 1971. During his tenure, he consistently implemented the "laissez-faire" policy, maintained a low tax policy, and reduced government intervention in the market. His economic philosophy was brought into play by the subsequent Financial Secretary, which set the tone for the Hong Kong government's subsequent policies of "active non-interventionism", prudent financial management, and free market, and also promoted the rapid development of Hong Kong's economy.

Guo Bowei’s economic thinking also inspired the neo-liberal economic policies pursued by President Reagan and British Prime Minister Dazzle in the 1980s. The “reform and opening up” implemented by China Mainland in the 1980s was also influenced to a certain extent by Guo Bowei.

"How much is it for a fight?" Guo Bowei asked curiously.

"It is charged annually. It is currently 2,000 Hong Kong dollars a year. If you are late, Sir Guo can go to the front desk to register. In the future, you have to call to make an appointment in advance. After all, if there are too many people, it will affect your performance!" Wu Guangyao said, 2,000 Hong Kong dollars is of course. Wu Guangyao can quote a lower price, but the actual price has to be added by zero.

The salary of these senior colonial officials is several thousand Hong Kong dollars a month, and there are various allowances and extra money, and 2000 Hong Kong dollars is not too much for them;

If Wu Guangyao says 20,000 Hong Kong dollars, it is not making friends with these people, but doing business.

"Mr. Wu is joking, don't you lose 2,000 Hong Kong dollars a year!"

"My original intention was to bring this sport to Hong Kong Island, but not to make money; even if I want to make money, it will be after the sport has spread to the upper class on Hong Kong Island, I will consider making money. All of you here today are all at this price , You can come to practice if you are interested."

Guo Bowei didn’t say anything. With his wealth, he naturally looked down on a few dues. Besides, everyone was 2,000 Hong Kong dollars, so why bother to be hypocritical.

Next, Wu Guangyao saw that Sandus was chatting with several big shipowners, and Wu Guangyao also walked over.

"Congratulations to Brother Bao for entering the European and American markets!" Wu Guangyao wanted to greet Bao Yugang.

Bao Yugang bought four ready-made 16,000-ton oil tankers in the second half of last year. He did not expect that Shell Petroleum was really attracted to him, and he rented his oil tankers for a long time;

Bao Yugang took advantage of the contract and loaned to build 4 50,000-ton oil tankers, which is quite a big move to enter Europe and the United States for oil transportation.

Wu Guangyao carefully calculated this, because Bao Yugang lost a lot of Dongying's market in this life, so in 1968, it was absolutely impossible for him to exceed the carrying capacity of 2 million tons.

There will be 1.5 million tons of ships less than the original history. Then Wu Guangyao will have 15 million tons of ships in his hands. In the end, it is squeezing the business of the ship king in history.

European and American shipowners, Onassis and Niagas in Greece will definitely be greatly affected. Toyo shipping companies such as Sanko and Nippon Shipping will definitely be greatly affected. Finally, Bao Yugang and Dong Yunhao of Hong Kong Island will be affected.

"It's not worth mentioning. Compared to Guangyao's business over there, I am insignificant."

Everyone chatted for a while, mainly discussing shipping matters. Wu Guangyao came up with a message that many bankers on Hong Kong Island intend to lend to these big shipowners.

It seems that many people are optimistic about shipping!
