Chapter 396 【Ambition to Tsim Sha Tsui】

In October, the Wharf Group’s Ocean Terminal opened, and Princess Margot participated in the ribbon-cutting ceremony.

Ocean Terminal is a super shopping mall, built on the cruise ship terminal of Wharf;

The cruise terminal of the Wharf Group is the only cruise terminal on Hong Kong Island;

In other words, when tourists come to Hong Kong Island by cruise ship, they must pass through Ocean Terminal;

Jihe Yanghang’s trick is not unreasonable, and this ocean terminal will become an important competitor of the Yangtze River Center.

However, as Hong Kong Island becomes more prosperous, the development of such a large-scale shopping mall is inevitable, and Wu Guangyao cannot do monopoly business.

Ocean Terminal is a super shopping mall, a four-story super long building;

The first, second and third floors are shopping malls, and the fourth floor is an office building;

A circular driveway is built next to the Ocean Terminal, and the top floor is a parking lot that can park 1,200 cars.

The entire Ocean Terminal is 650,000 square feet of shopping malls and 200,000 square feet of office buildings.

Just a wharf can build such a large shopping mall. One can imagine how big the Wharf is and the geographical environment is good.

Behind the Ocean Terminal, there is the support of the Hong Kong government;

In 1963, the Wharf Wharf was funded by the Hong Kong Island Government and spent more than HK$70 million to rebuild the original Pier No. 1 into a 4-storey Ocean Terminal.

However, Wharf cannot escape Wu Guangyao's palm, so Wu Guangyao is naturally not nervous;

Furthermore, at present, the Yangtze River Center also has many advantages.

Princess Margot still chose the Ritz-Carlton Hotel for her visit to Hong Kong, which made Wu Guangyao feel more comfortable.

The Peninsula Hotel and the Ritz-Carlton have been secretly competing for the first luxury hotel on Hong Kong Island over the years;

It can be said that in addition to the history and heritage of Hong Kong Island, the Peninsula Hotel was completely exploded by the Ritz-Carlton;

Moreover, the Ritz-Carlton has a longer history and a higher status in the hotel industry.

Two yachts were moving slowly in Victoria Harbour. One of them was Wu Guangyao and others, and the other was carrying bodyguards.

Looking at Tsim Sha Tsui East (the ‘tip’ in Tsim Sha Tsui), Wu Guangyao was lost in thought.

Lin Yueru turned her head and looked at Wu Guangyao, who was meditating on the yacht deck, and said: "My husband is worried that Ocean Terminal will affect the passenger flow of Yangtze River Center?"

Wu Guangyao turned his head and saw that Lin Yueru, Mrs. Shatton, Li Cui, Chris and others were all looking at him, could not help but smile;

The thoughts of these women are probably also the thoughts of others on Hong Kong Island;

Ocean Terminal opens, Yangtze River Center has encountered a major enemy!

Looking at people close to him, Wu Guangyao proudly pointed to Tsim Sha Tsui and said, “Look, our Yangtze River Center and Wharf are located on the left and right sides of Tsim Sha Tsui East. Now both sides have developed shopping malls, only the middle of the shopping malls have been developed. East does not.

Half of the front of Tsim Sha Tsui East is the Hong Kong Arts Center, which is a public utility, and it is obviously impossible to develop commerce. The other half of the front of Tsim Sha Tsui East is the Blue Chimney Wharf. Under the squeeze of the container terminal in Kwai Chung, this wharf has dwindled business, just in time for a commercial development. Complex.

Blue Chimney is affiliated to Swire Pacific. They have not entered the real estate industry, and naturally they will not develop commercial complexes.

In a few years, Blue Chimney will be the next commercial complex of Cheung Kong. "

The Blue Chimney Wharf mentioned by Wu Guangyao should be Zheng Yutong’s new world center according to history, but Zheng Yutong’s strength is halved in this life, and this large-scale building complex will definitely not be developed;

In addition, the major shareholder of Hang Seng Bank is Wu Guangyao. For large loans, the board of directors, especially Wu Guangyao, the major shareholder must agree.

So, Blue Chimney Wharf is destined to miss Zheng Yutong!

Furthermore, under the changes of Universal Group, the world's container transportation is becoming more and more popular, far surpassing the process of the previous life;

Then the Blue Chimney Wharf business has closed down within the past two years, three or four years earlier than the original closure in 1971.

So Wu Guangyao would persuade Swire Pacific to sell it to himself when something major happened on Hong Kong Island in 1967.

Even if it is a lot of premium, it is definitely more cost-effective than if it was taken after 1969.

In this way, in the 1980s, Times Square, Harbour City, New World Center, and Yangtze River Center will be connected together, all belonging to the Wu family.

The handle of Tsim Sha Tsui, who else can be if it is not the Wu family!

"You are so rich, why don't you pay attention to the Wharf?" Chris asked abruptly, making the atmosphere stunned.

"I'm dying of poverty, don't you know how to invest everywhere recently!" Wu Guangyao made a joke and covered up the problem.

The idea of ​​moving the Wharf on your own is something no one can tell.

After all, if the Jardine Matheson knew it, it would be more difficult.

In recent years, Jardine Matheson has a strategy, that is, making money in Hong Kong and business overseas;

They will slowly sell the shares of Hong Kong holding companies to invest in overseas industries;

This laid a good foundation for Wu Guangyao in the future to ambush these foreign firms.

When Wu Guangyao called poor, everyone naturally didn't believe it, but they didn't expose it!

Talking for a while, the two boats stopped in a calm sea, not far from Pokfulam on the island.

A female bodyguard went to work overtime and said to Wu Guangyao: "Boss, Captain Huang said this is suitable for motorboating!"

Wu Guangyao nodded and said, "Well, let's put the two motorboats down!"

At the ends of the two yachts, they both pulled a small motorboat. Wu Guangyao watched that the two female bodyguards were pushing the motorboat to start, and took the initiative to take the initiative.

After the motorboat was launched into the water, Wu Guangyao skillfully sat on it, and the women who came to the front of the deck said: "Whoever comes first, free teaching!"

Little Chris’ mentality broke out, she immediately raised her hand and said, "I want to experience it!"

Wu Guangyao said unceremoniously: "Let the female bodyguard teach you!"

Chris' face flushed, and he naturally knew why Wu Guangyao said this!

Modestly, Mrs. Sutton took the lead to walk towards the motorboat. Wu Guangyao stretched out his hand and took her onto the motorboat.

Because it is very casual, Wu Guangyao's big hand happened to be pressed against Madam Shatton's capacity. After Madam Shatton was seated, Wu Guangyao felt soft, and squeezed it in a ghostly manner.

"Husband!" Madam Sarton whispered dissatisfied.

And everyone on the shore felt blushing, especially Chris, who turned his head quickly.

"Unexpected accident, let's start learning to drive a motorboat!" Wu Guangyao quibbled.

After finishing speaking, he explained to Mrs. Shatton carefully how to use the motorboat;

The operation of the motorboat was very simple. Soon Mrs. Sarton could start slowly. Because she felt safe in Wu Guangyao's arms, the motorboat quickly rose from 10 yards to about 30 yards.

The women on the yacht I watched are envious!

Next, Wu Guangyao taught Lin Yueru and Li Cui in turn, and they had a great time in the sea.

Fortunately, there is still a certain distance from the shore, otherwise tomorrow there will be Wu Guangyao's romantic history on Hong Kong Island.
