Chapter 86: One order affects the business of all jewelers in Hong Kong

"Brother Wen, is this person selling properties?"

After Zhu Yin and others left, he said with some confusion: "With so many buildings in hand, I can sell them as soon as I want."

"It comes from asset allocation."

Zhang Ziwen said with a smile: "Many rich people don't know where to put their extra money. If they put it in the bank and it depreciates, they just use it to buy properties."

"No matter whether property prices rise or fall, as long as the price is right, they will leave and get the cash to buy a new one."

"After all, the building is old, and long-term holding will affect the price."

There are no school district houses on Hong Kong Island, so the price of old and small apartments is low, and the replacement of old buildings with new ones can be considered a reasonable configuration.

This kind of people are different from real estate speculators. Real estate speculators have high leverage and are very concerned about the dynamics of the real estate market. Once the real estate market plunges, real estate speculators will jump off the building. People who do asset allocation often get rich early and have extremely low holding costs.

People who can survive the bull and bear markets are some of the strongest people in the property market.

Generally, when you make money from doing business in the early years, but when the industry is in recession and it is not conducive to expanding the company's scale, you will allocate funds in real estate.

The people who are speculating on the Hong Kong Island property market are mainly based on international hot money, and their style is very radical. They don't care about people's livelihood and just want to leave after making a fortune.

This is also the reason why housing prices on Hong Kong Island quadrupled from 90 to 97, which is even more terrifying than the two trillion yuan on the Mainland.

Even after a financial crisis, Hong Kong Island still has the highest property prices in the country.
And the high profits of the real estate industry have not been transferred to urban development.

It was transferred by hot money through financial methods, the British Hong Kong government donated blood to the family, was plundered by British capital, and was transferred overseas by the second- and fifth-generation real estate developers who relied on Hong Kong British...
The post-97 generation has left a lot of chicken feathers on the ground, allowing the economy to decline step by step, creating a contrast after the return, and leading citizens to hate China.

Zhang Ziwen's industry has nothing to do with real estate, but as long as he lives on Hong Kong Island, he will inevitably be affected.

He bought the building because he wanted to save some rent and sell it before 97. There will always be someone who gets carried away and takes over.

Two days later.

The police officially announced that they have captured the mastermind of the 100 million cash weapons robbery and will file charges within a month.

Zhang Ziwen was looking forward to Zhang Ziqiang being sentenced and imprisoned, but he knew that sooner or later he would meet Zhang Ziqiang again.

Because there is no death penalty in Hong Kong Island.

"I wonder what kind of evidence the police can produce, and what violent revelations will Zhang Ziqiang reveal during the interrogation?" Zhang Ziwen smiled inwardly, guessing that Zhang Ziqiang had already asked the police to track down the real culprit.

However, it can be seen that the police acted vigorously and resolutely, and it was clear that they wanted to nail Zhang Ziqiang to death.

"That's right. All the stolen money has been recovered, and there is only one mastermind left."

Zhang Ziwen understands the police's approach very well: "It's better to just send Zhang Ziqiang in if we go through all the trouble to investigate."

"Firstly, many of the dead thieves at the scene were Zhang Ziqiang's brothers. Secondly, Zhang Ziqiang has long been the focus of the police."

"Having him targeted will bring the case to a perfect end. If we investigate further, it will appear that the police force is incompetent. In short, the good guys are definitely not unjustly accused, and the bad guys are not unjustly accused."

It should be said that the people in the police force are all deaf and will not analyze Zhang Ziqiang's confession, or even think about investigating.
That's fooling yourself.

But no one could doubt Zhang Ziwen.

The few people who could guess the inside story had already been dragged into the trap by him, including Li Jiazhong, who was in charge of the case. Although the two had no direct financial connection, it was impossible for him to turn around and investigate Zhang Ziwen.

Moreover, the case was indeed planned by Zhang Ziqiang. The police have found many photos and drawings in Zhang Ziqiang’s home.

Although some things were destroyed, which is not considered direct evidence, if Zhang Ziwen is wanted, it is clear that he can be targeted.

Zhang Ziwen's popularity is not bad, and his hands and feet are clean, so he will naturally not be targeted by the police.

But his robbery of Pioneer's airport business has already shown a negative consequence.

The Police Department refused to approve 20 applications for firearms licenses.

"Boss, when there were only British-owned companies in the past, if you applied for a gun license in the name of a security company, the police department would almost always approve it."

Zhou Minghua smoked a cigarette with a look of displeasure on his face: "Because for every card issued, the police department can charge a management fee, which is regarded as a department benefit, and the clerks who handle it will also receive red envelopes."

"This time the gun license was rejected. It must be because Guilao Company contacted the senior management."

Zhang Ziwen frowned: "Is the company's gun license still enough?"

"Enough." Zhou Minghua said: "If you apply for 70 new gun licenses, the police force is still willing to approve 50."

"For example, airport passenger security, armed escort, and compliant business can be regarded as meeting the rigid standards, and the police cannot disapprove it."

Firearms licenses are not issued for this type of business. If something goes wrong, the person in charge will be considered derelict in their duties, and the Civil Aviation Department will not approve it.

However, when Zhang Ziwen recruited people before, he basically got a gun license. Now he only approves the minimum standards for business. It can be seen that Pioneer Company has stepped in to stop it.

Hong Kong Island has strict firearms management, but security companies are an emerging industry. Previously, there were only British-owned companies, and the ghosts above closed their eyes to approve.

As a result, Zhang Ziwen, a Chinese-owned company, applied for a gun license extremely smoothly.

It's nothing more than handing over money with one hand and handing over certificates with the other.

"Haha, there is no need to operate illegally. As long as we treat them differently, a little looser on one side and a little tight on the other, the company's development will be limited and it will always be lower than others." Zhang Ziwen sneered twice.

The business environment on Hong Kong Island is favorable to British investment, but strictly controls Chinese investment.

If Zhang Ziwen hadn't always been obsessed with force and had hoarded a lot of gun licenses, this move alone would have made his business force at the airport weak. It would be questionable whether he could control the situation if something went wrong at the airport.

If you weren't careful, the situation got out of control. Pioneer Company came over with a combination of punches, and Riot Company was about to withdraw from the airport business.

"Half of the personnel previously responsible for internal security will be transferred to guest security with certificates to ensure that two-thirds of the guest security personnel are equipped with guns to respond to emergencies."

Internal security doesn't need so many guns in the first place. Previously, they were anxious to show off, but now they are just right.

There are people with guns standing guard at several gates, and a spare team is enough.

As for the escort team, they have all the gun licenses.

"From now on, I will apply for a gun license every month. If you can apply for one, it will count as one." Zhang Ziwen said: "It's just that the arrangement of firearms must be more reasonable and not as lavish as before."

"I'll make arrangements."

Uncle Zhou is very good at these.

Zhang Ziwen laughed at himself: "Maybe this is normal. I took advantage of the ghost guy before."

He has not met the bosses of several Guilao companies, but after more than a year of development, he has taken away a lot of business from Guilao, which may have made the seven British-owned companies furious.

That day, Director Dong and I were outside again, letting go of the boss of Pioneer Company. It was normal for others to show off.

Zhang Ziwen has a good attitude: "The soldiers will come to block the water and the soil will cover it up, then let's move on!"

The "Firearms Licensing Section" of the police force, which is responsible for approving firearms licenses, is headed by the Chief Inspector, but reports directly to the Deputy Director of Management. It is notoriously weak. It's hard to spend money to get it done, and I don't have enough connections, so I have to get beaten first.

Let Zhou Minghua build relationships little by little, apply once a month, and he should get used to it after a few more visits.

After running for a year and a half, you have to sell some face, right?
This is a business.

Zhang Ziwen was chatting with Zhou Minghua when the mobile phone at his hand suddenly rang.

Zhou Minghua saw this and stood up to say goodbye.

"Director Zheng."

Zhang Ziwen picked up the mobile phone and walked to the window to pick it up.

"Zhang Sheng, I heard that you rented another floor in the Empire Center and the company is getting bigger and bigger." Zheng Yutong laughed heartily.

Zhang Ziwen looked at the Victoria Harbor opposite, put one hand in his pocket, and said with a smile: "The news about Director Zheng is so fast, I haven't even finished the sanitation downstairs yet."

"Are you free?"

Zheng Yutong changed the subject: "Come to our company for a cup of tea and introduce you to the bosses of the jewelry industry in Hong Kong."

Zhang Ziwen felt excited, knowing that Zheng Yutong was busy with affairs and could not make a phone call just to drink tea.

Since he was introduced to all the jewelry industry bosses in Hong Kong, it meant that all the jewelry industry bosses in Hong Kong had a business for him!

"Okay."

Zhang Ziwen spoke calmly, raised a smile on his lips, and asked with some expectation: "What kind of business is this?"
