Hong Kong: Rise of the Kings

"Axiao, how did you meet Boss Li?"

"Axiao, it seems like you don't have a good relationship?"

"Axiao, would you like to say something?"

In the car, her mother Li Cuilian chattered all the way, mainly wondering about the relationship between Du Yongxiao and Li Jiacheng.

After all, his father, Du Dapao, was in business. He could tell at a glance that his son and Li Jiacheng were not on the same page. Seeing his mother nagging like this, he immediately glared at her.

Mom just shut up.

The entire journey was silent.

Du Yongxiao personally drove his parents, brothers and sisters home.

The younger brother Du Yongshun is still chattering about "Wu Song beats the tiger".

The younger sister Du Yongmei fell asleep leaning on her mother.

It looked like it was still early, and Du Yongxiao had other things to do, so he didn't eat at home.

After leaving home, Du Yongxiao went straight to Hengchuang Real Estate Company.

…

Since returning to Hong Kong, Du Yongxiao has not come to the company a few times.

As Times Square is about to reach its peak sales, Hengchuang Company's capital flow is gradually becoming abundant. As the head of the company, Liu Jianxiong is ambitious and is planning to develop Tsuen Wan and Hung Hom.

Both of these places are in the old urban areas of Hong Kong and are generally looked down upon by real estate developers. However, for Liu Jianxiong, now is a rare opportunity to acquire land. The first is that it is cheap and the second is that the government supports it.

In recent years, a large number of refugees have poured into Hong Kong. Hong Kong's permanent population has increased sharply from 2.3 million in 1950 to 3.9 million in 1970, and is about to exceed 4 million!

The surge in population has made it difficult for the British Hong Kong government to digest it, and it is even more troubled by the problem of people's housing.

Therefore, real estate developers are encouraged to build small apartment buildings to meet the needs of the people.

It is precisely because of this that Liu Jianxiong plans to build small apartments in Tsuen Wan and Hung Hom.

Bai Yingjun, the second-in-command of Hengchuang Real Estate, firmly disagreed with Liu Jianxiong's construction plan.

The reason is also very simple.

First of all, demolition in Tsuen Wan and Hung Hom is too difficult.

Among them, Tsuen Wan belongs to the New Territories area, and the residents are all New Territories aborigines. The people there are very popular in "Dingquan" and want to develop it to the sky.

Hung Hom is also an old town within an old town, with a complex population, and development can easily lead to riots.

Secondly, the so-called "preferential policies" of the British Hong Kong government are all verbal promises without any substantial content. If the policy is stuck in the throat during development, it will be unclear.

Liu Jianxiong and Bai Yingjun had a heated debate about this.

Du Yongxiao happened to be here today, so a high-level meeting was held with Du Yongxiao as the decision-maker to see which side was right.

…

The meeting is in progress.

The entire senior management of Hengchuang was present.

Today's Hengchuang is no longer the era of four or five people starting a business. It is full of talents, including 18 senior staff.

Many of these people did not know Du Yongxiao. They all expressed surprise when they heard that Du Yongxiao was the real boss of the company.

Some people even looked down upon Du Yongxiao because he was so young, in his twenties at most. They thought that Du Yongxiao had some money at most and that he was an amateur when it came to real estate.

The atmosphere in the conference room was rather weird at the moment.

Du Yongxiao leaned on the main seat in the conference room, leaning forward, smoking a cigarette, and carefully looked at Liu Jianxiong's real estate plan. He tapped the table with his finger, raised his head and concluded: "These two areas can be developed, but not for building low-cost apartments, small apartments, etc." housing, but instead building holiday homes, as well as hotels and guesthouses.”

"Well?"

Du Yongxiao's decision made Liu Jianxiong and Bai Yingjun stunned.

As a person who has been there, To Yongxiao clearly understands that Tsuen Wan will develop as a well-known tourist attraction in Hong Kong in the future. Yuen Yuen College, Western Temple and Zhulin Temple are all places of worship for kind-hearted believers, and tourists and believers flock there every day.

Such a place is only suitable for the development of holiday tourism, not a refugee settlement at all.

In addition, Du Yongxiao also knew that in the previous life, many real estate developers who planned to build houses here were refused by the Environment Agency on the grounds of damaging the environment. As a result, the land they finally got could only be left lying there, which was a pure waste of money and resources.

As for Hung Hom, the current Hung Hom Stadium is about to be completed, and the Hung Hom Railway Station will be built in the future. By then, Hung Hom will be dominated by hotels and guesthouses.

Those who come all the way to watch the Hung Hom concert must at least stay here for one night and use it as a private apartment. Isn't that a waste?

Liu Jianxiong and Bai Yingjun were both surprised by Du Yongxiao's decision.

They believe that Du Yongxiao went to the UK for a year and did not know much about the specific situation in Hong Kong.

Eighteen other company executives also sneered at Du Yongxiao's decision.

Some even whispered: "Is it wrong? A layman leads an expert?"

"Yeah, I thought he could come up with some theory, but it turned out to be these?"

"Tourism development in Tsuen Wan and hotels in Hung Hom? Are you kidding?"

Liu Jianxiong was secretly happy when he heard these discussions.

He was already arrogant. When he developed Times Square, he thought it was Du Yongxiao who was lucky. In terms of real estate development and management, Du Yongxiao is not as good as him.

"Ahem, I'm sorry, Mr. Du! Please allow me to say a few words." Liu Jianxiong considered his words, "Maybe you have stayed in the UK for too long and don't know much about the situation in Hong Kong. It is inevitable for Hong Kong to develop the tourism market now. It’s a little premature.”

"Yes, I agree with Mr. Liu's statement." Bai Yingjun rarely stood with Liu Jianxiong, "The development of tourism resources in Hong Kong's environment is a bit too hasty. In addition, your main business is not real estate, so you will inevitably have some concerns about the general trend of real estate development. Clear--"

Before the two of them could finish speaking, Du Yongxiao held a cigarette between his fingers and said, "Today I met Mr. Li Jiacheng of Yangtze River Industries."

"Huh?" Everyone was stunned, wondering what Du Yongxiao meant when he suddenly mentioned Li Jiacheng.

"Li Jiacheng is preparing to acquire Haw Par Villa in Sham Shui Po!" To Yongxiao continued, "You can question my ability to grasp real estate development, but don't question Boss Li's keen sense of property!"

Everyone looked at each other.

"Are you saying that Yangtze River Industries is also preparing to develop tourism?" Liu Jianxiong hesitated.

"That's right! So -" Du Yongxiao glanced at everyone: "The future of Hong Kong is real estate, finance and tourism!"

Everyone was stunned again.

Liu Jianxiong and Bai Yingjun looked at each other and were about to retort——

The person in charge of the company's intelligence collection suddenly knocked on the door and came in -——

"Sorry, I have something important to report to you! First, the British Hong Kong government has just issued a red-headed document. In order to protect the natural environment, the development of apartments in Tsuen Wan is prohibited! Secondly, in order to develop the Hung Hom Stadium, a railway station will be built to support it..."

boom!

Everyone at the scene was out of ideas.

Everyone looked at Du Yongxiao in unison.

Du Yongxiao stood up slowly and looked at Liu Jianxiong and others with shocked faces: "Since I have handed over the company to you, I trust you absolutely! I will also let go of my power! As for what you will do -"

He crushed the cigarette out in the ashtray, raised his head and said, "Whatever!"
