Chapter 155 Design Scheme
Since Mr. Xie Wenjun of Zhihua Real Estate held a press conference yesterday afternoon and announced the next actions of Zhihua Group, the investment incident of Zhihua Group that has caused a stir in Hong Kong has only added fuel to the fire.

The contracting project of the entire TV station office building, with an investment of more than 10 billion, and huge demand for building materials, wood, labor, and machinery, was like a nuclear bomb exploding in the business community of Hong Kong Island.

For a time, people from all walks of life in Hong Kong Island's business community showed their talents and wanted to establish relations with Zhihua Group through various means.

The business community on Hong Kong Island was like this in the previous life. It was very closed. When doing business with each other, people were very dependent on human relationships and circles. They didn't believe that they could win the bid in any public tender and do each other's business.

In Hong Kong Island, the top business circles are more closed. Usually these people compete with each other, help and support each other, and control the rules of each industry through small circles and exclude outside monks to ensure the interests of this small circle.

From the beginning of his business, Cao Zhihua used huge amounts of his own capital to avoid the track of basic necessities, food, housing, and transportation. He did not compete head-on with the existing major families in Hong Kong for business from the beginning. This is a large part of the reason.

It just so happens that the Hong Kong Island real estate market has just started, and if the real estate industry wants to expand, the demand for funds is very huge.
In the entire Hong Kong Island, except for the foreign trade company Baipi, there is only one big boss among the Chinese, Mr. Huo. And because of Mr. Huo's position, the Hong Kong government has always been worried about Huo.
Although it has not yet reached the point where Huo was found to be involved in major incidents in 67 and was directly suppressed by the Hong Kong government, the Baipi Hong Kong government has always welcomed and supported Cao Zhihua's entry into the real estate industry.

And Cao Zhihua himself is up to par, and has not disappointed anyone who thinks highly of himself. Not only his business is getting bigger and bigger, he is also very low-key. Basically, apart from living a very luxurious life at home, he works in the company. , most people don’t even know that such a person exists on Hong Kong Island.

Since yesterday's newspaper reported on Cao Zhihua on a large scale, there has been an endless stream of people making appointments to visit Lou Bancheng, one after another.

The Victoria's Secret Club has been extremely busy in the past two days. Everyone hopes to establish a relationship with Chen Xueru and Shen Jing and bring some business to the family through lady diplomacy.

Chen Xueru, Shen Jing, and Chen Zhihong are sitting in Chen Xueru's office in the club, worrying.

After this wave of operations by the Hong Kong government, the three women no longer dared to show up in the club. The white-skinned ladies all came here to make friends and recruit people into the circle, and most of the Chinese ladies came to bring business to the family.

The characters of the girls in the club are to enthusiastically help club members, make connections and make connections to better help members develop.

Now it's the turn of their own business. The three women can't accept it or refuse it. They feel very uncomfortable.

"Second sister, why don't you tell me about the situation in the club and keep fighting with these people? These people are not stupid. There is really no other way now. We don't dare to show up. If we continue to drag on the club, Word of mouth will have a very big impact.”

Chen Xueru frowned and looked at Shen Jing, with a very troubled face, and said tangledly:
"It's not like you don't know that my master has been so worried about this matter these days that he doesn't even talk much at home. He has been bored all day long, and he doesn't know how troubled he is.

Isn’t it not good for us to bother him about these things in the club now? "

Shen Jing sighed and was speechless. The current situation in the club was obviously beyond the capabilities of the two women, and they didn't know what to do.

Chen Zhihong also came from the bottom, and was very capable of doing things, but he did not have enough vision and knowledge, and he could not come up with any ideas. He just said:
"Madam boss, are you overthinking it?
After all, the current situation in the club is beyond our ability and cannot be handled well. However, for the chairman, the situation may be different. I personally think you should report the club situation to the chairman in detail. Please If he comes up with an idea, maybe the matter will be solved easily. "

After hearing Chen Zhihong's words, Chen Xueru stretched her eyebrows and felt a little moved.

Although Chen Xueru has always been very confident in her abilities, the club's continuous development has proved that her abilities have indeed taken care of all aspects of the club very well.

But the current situation is indeed not something that the club can handle unilaterally, so after heaving a sigh of relief, he said in a low voice:
"Well, after Zhihua comes home in the evening, Jingjing and I will talk to Zhihua about the situation in the club and let him come up with an idea."

Shen Jing nodded silently and said:
"Okay, second sister, this matter really needs the master's decision so that we can handle it easily."

After the three women reached an agreement and unified their external output caliber, they all breathed a sigh of relief and continued with today's work.

In the past two days, Lou Bancheng had received one reception after another, and one flattery after another. For a time, all the Chinese businessmen in Hong Kong were praising Lou Bancheng, and Lou Bancheng was very happy with the praise.

Lou Bancheng is very adaptable to such a scene. His predecessor lived like this for most of his life.

Unexpectedly, after being lonely for several years, when he came to Hong Kong Island, his good son-in-law suddenly became the social center of the business circles of Hong Kong Island from the east and the west. The Lou family was full of flowers, bustling with people, and crowded.

For such a scene, the Lou family can still hold on thanks to Lou Bancheng's skill and skill.

What Lou Bancheng thinks more about is how to help the Lou family and Cao Zhihua make a group of connections and friendships that are truly worth making in the fierce situation, and create a social circle headed by Zhihua Group, so as not to wait for the limelight to pass. , the Lou family and Cao Zhihua are still as weak in Hong Kong Island as before, and they have no voice to speak out.

Now in Cao Zhihua's office, Li Shengnan, Xie Wenjun, Xiaoyu, Du Xinru and others were sitting on the sofa, waiting for Cao Zhihua to finish viewing the design drawings of the second phase of the industrial park, and then hold a meeting to decide whether to start the project construction.

While Cao Zhihua was looking at the layout of the drawings and the shape of the building, he tapped the fingers of his right hand on the desk.

"Why only design one floor of the factory building? This utilization rate is too low."

Xie Wenjun was very nervous because of Cao Zhihua's strong aura. After hearing Cao Zhihua's question, he quickly said:
"Chairman, this is mainly designed to facilitate the entry and exit of goods. Building such a one-story factory can not only solve the production time delayed by loading and shipping goods, improve production efficiency, but also save a lot of construction costs."

Cao Zhihua laughed angrily at Xie Wenjun's words and said:
"According to what Mr. Xie said, the land cost is not a cost? The land utilization rate is so low, does Mr. Xie still have merit?"

Xie Wenjun couldn't bear it when he heard what Cao Zhihua said was so serious. He excitedly wanted to express that his starting point was for the good of the company, but Cao Zhihua's words really hit home the shortcomings of the design plan, leaving him unable to defend himself.

Li Shengnan saw Xie Wenjun's anger at what Cao Zhihua said, so he stood up and said:
"Chairman, in the current production of our industrial building, the production efficiency of employees is seriously delayed because of loading and unloading goods and waiting for the elevator. According to Mr. Lou's reaction and my personal inspection and estimation, if a one-story factory building is used, the loading and unloading of goods will be solved. If we solve the problem of goods, then each employee of the company can increase production by at least 20%."

Li Shengnan felt relieved when he saw Cao Zhihua calmly listening to his explanation. He was afraid that Cao Zhihua would view the design plan based on his real estate experience, so he continued to say patiently:
"Director Cao, according to the calculations of the General Manager's Office and the Finance Department, it is more cost-effective to purchase land and expand the factory area than to build a multi-story factory on the current land.
First, it saves a lot of construction costs, saves a lot of foundation work, and the construction speed will be faster.

Second, the increased output, converted into cost, is more cost-effective than building high-rise buildings, and it can also expand the company's land ownership. Once the city expands in the future and the land appreciates, the land in the industrial park can also become our company's land. For land banks, the land value alone is more profitable than the losses caused by land utilization. "

After listening to Li Shengnan's words, Cao Zhihua thought carefully and decided to increase land purchase, build a first-floor factory, improve production efficiency, expand the area of ​​the industrial park, increase the land reserve of the industrial park, and be optimistic about the future land market of Hong Kong Island.

After Cao Zhihua thought it through, he did not rush to express his position and continued to look at the design drawings.

30 double-person staff dormitories, which can accommodate more than 1.7 people after construction?
5 canteens that feed 5000 people every day?

A four-story, 1-square-meter security company office building will be built along the left side of the industrial park gate, and a 2500-square-meter internal commercial street will be built on the right?
After reading it, Cao Zhihua closed his eyes and carefully thought about the design plan and the overall effect of the completed industrial park.

Li Shengnan and Xie Wenjun felt a little nervous when they saw that Cao Zhihua had not spoken and expressed his position. The atmosphere in the office was a bit solemn.

Xiaoyu was also affected by this atmosphere. She didn't dare to speak and kept drinking tea with her tea cup in hand.

Suddenly Cao Zhihua sat up straight, looked at Li Shengnan and said:
"Mr. Li, I would like to make a few points about this design plan.

First, since you have decided to build a large industrial park, do you have any subsequent land purchase plans? My request is that you arrange for someone to go to the Hong Kong government as soon as possible and draw all the land that can be purchased around the industrial park on a map. Mark the data well.

Second, since a large industrial park is built and there are so many dormitories, this means that there will be a lot of employees living in the industrial park in the future. Is the area of ​​the commercial street enough?How to solve the problem if it is not enough?

Third, our industrial park only considers production, food, clothing and housing. Should our industrial park be greened to make everyone's production and living environment better?Should we simply build a garden-style industrial park and make it a model project for industrial parks on Hong Kong Island? "

When Li Shengnan heard that Cao Zhihua did not continue to worry about the issue of land utilization, he knew that this hurdle had passed. Cao Zhihua approved his cost conversion method. After feeling relieved, he continued to answer Cao Zhihua's questions.

"Director Cao, regarding the plan to expand the industrial park and purchase land, I need to report to you first. After getting your consent, I can communicate with the Hong Kong government about the details of the land purchase next to the industrial park. After confirming the details, we can It’s up to you to decide whether to buy or not, and how much to buy.

Regarding the issue of the commercial street, I think it should be enough, because our company has solved the problem of food and housing for employees. The commercial street is mainly used to meet the needs of employees for daily necessities, so I think the commercial street is definitely enough. use. "

When Cao Zhihua heard what Li Shengnan said, he remembered that there are very few entertainment activities nowadays. Without entertainment activities, there is no need for a large commercial street. There are just some clothing stores, shoe stores, and daily chemical and daily necessities stores. , snack shops and so on.So he motioned to Li Shengnan to continue.
"As for the greening issue in the industrial park, I think Director Cao raised it very well. Indeed, our industrial park is all made of steel bars, cement, buildings, and delivery rooms, although it is very clean and tidy.

But without greenery and fresh air, people will feel out of touch with nature. Our daily commute to and from get off work is fine, but it may indeed have a physical and mental impact on employees who live in the industrial park every day, so I think green design must be included in the design plan. . "

Cao Zhihua now also has a small amount of money for park greening, and also wants to make the environment where he works every day more beautiful, so he said to Li Shengnan and Xie Wenjun:
"Mr. Li, Mr. Xie, this is what I think. Since we want to be the largest enterprise and industrial park on Hong Kong Island, we must also consider setting a benchmark for future newcomers in the business community.

There is not much problem with the overall planning of the design drawings, and I still agree with it.
But how to do a good job in greening planning in the industrial park to achieve the garden-style industrial park that I want, so that our industrial park is both a garden and the best factory? Let’s communicate more with the design department and think about how to design it. and layout, and then produce a complete design drawing and renderings, and we will have a meeting together to make a decision. "

"Okay, Director Cao."

"Okay, Chairman."

"Okay, Mr. Li, I agree with the plan to purchase land in the industrial park. You should communicate with the Hong Kong government as soon as possible and mark the land available for sale around our industrial park. We will purchase the land as soon as possible and reserve the land." The quantity determines whether we build a one-story factory or a multi-story factory. Anyway, nothing will affect the company's subsequent development."

"Okay, Director Cao, I will go to the Hong Kong government in person later to discuss this matter."

"Well, okay, thank you for your hard work, Mr. Li."

"For the development of the company, all this is as it should be, Director Cao, don't worry."

"Well, if everyone is fine, let's break up the meeting."

"Okay, Chairman."

After everyone left, Xiaoyu sat on the sofa without moving, looked at Cao Zhihua and asked:
“Chairman, I have discovered that in all the garment industries in Hong Kong, large factories produce clothing materials and then outsource the production to small factories. The small factories then outsource to unemployed people on the streets and small home textile companies to make garments at home.

Why do we spend so much money and cost to build our own industrial parks, recruit workers, and produce everything ourselves instead of outsourcing it like everyone else? "

Cao Zhihua looked at his little sister with satisfaction. It seemed that the industry for more than a year had not only trained her abilities, but also made great progress in her knowledge and vision.

Cao Zhihua thought for a while and decided to explain it to Xiaoyu. He mainly wanted to see what level Xiaoyu could reach in the future if he continued to grow like this, so he said to Du Xinru:
"Xinru, please arrange for someone to bring some afternoon tea to Xiaoyu and me. Xiaoyu and I will have a good chat. Don't let anyone disturb us until it's over."

"Okay, Chairman, arrangements will be made immediately. Please wait a moment."
