I Want To Be a Rich Man on Hong Kong Island

  Chapter 567【Sailboat Hotel! 】

  In mid-July, the grand opening of the New World Center in Tsim Sha Tsui;

  The Burj Al Arab Hotel also opened on the same day. For this reason, political and business celebrities from all over the world have come to see the style;

  Politicians include the new prime minister, the Minister of Economy, Trade and Industry of Japan, the Crown Prince of Saudi Arabia, and the Governor of Hong Kong

  And Princess Margaret of the British royal family also came to Hong Kong from London to participate in the opening ceremony of Burj Al Arab Hotel;

  A total of four to five hundred people came from the world’s wealthy businessmen, Hollywood stars, architects, and journalists from various countries;

  These people are invited by Wu Guangyao, and they also want to witness the elegance of the Burj Al Arab Hotel.

  The layout style of the New World Center is completely different from the previous New World Center. Because of the need to highlight the Sailing Hotel, the New World Center that could have been built with two hotels, Cheung Kong only chose to build a Sailing Hotel.

  The direction of the hotel is also different. The Regent Hotel was built in the same area in the previous life, and the Regent Hotel spans east and west;

  The sailing hotel chooses the north-south vertical orientation. The front of the hotel faces the Victoria Harbour, and the public area is on the east.

  The sailing hotel has a shortcoming, that is, it is only 20 stories high, and because it needs to build a larger area, it is slightly fat;

   Although subject to height restrictions, Wu Guangyao knew that by the 1990s, tall buildings could be built in Tsim Sha Tsui;

  For example, the Guli Hotel in Tsim Sha Tsui in the previous life was sixty stories tall!

  So, in the 1990s, Wu Guangyao would rebuild the Burj Al Arab Hotel in the New World Center and demolish three residential buildings to rebuild a hotel;

  At that time, on both sides of the New World Center, there will be two hotels with more than 50 floors;

  At that time, the Burj Al Arab Hotel will be built into a Burj Al Arab hotel with a height of more than 300 meters, no longer has any shortcomings, and more luxurious than the previous Burj Al Arab hotel!

  In short, the appearance of Burj Al Arab Hotel has become a patented product managed by Xingyao Hotel. No fool would spend billions to build an exotic product.

  On the grass on the east side of the hotel, a sailing hotel opening ceremony was held;

  Wu Guangyao walked to the stage vigorously and made a remark:

  "Welcome all distinguished guests to attend the opening ceremony of Burj Al Arab Hotel and New World Center.

  At a time when the world economy is facing challenges, Burj Al Arab Hotel opened

  I hope that Burj Al Arab can bring good luck to people all over the world and wish all countries around the world out of economic downturn.

  Sometimes when riding the wind and breaking the waves, hang the sails directly on the clouds to benefit the sea;

  This is the Burj Al Arab Hotel!

  This is a good omen!

thank you all! "

  Wu Guangyao’s words were full of blessings, which immediately aroused a warm welcome from the guests under the presidium!

  Next, several heavyweight guests came to the stage to give speeches!

  The new prime minister, the cabinet minister of Japan, and the crown prince of Saudi Arabia, these important political figures, Wu Guangyao can invite them to visit Hong Kong, which shows Wu Guangyao's influence.

  After the opening ceremony, Wu Guangyao invited everyone into the Burj Al Arab Hotel for a luncheon.

  The entire Burj Al Arab hotel has only 108 rooms. At first glance, one might think that this is a medium-sized hotel;

  Actually, although the Burj Al Arab Hotel has only 108 rooms, these 108 rooms are all suites, and the smallest suite is 72 square meters;

  The largest suite, namely five presidential suites, each of which is a full 150 square meters.

  The 108 suites are divided into five styles, Chinese style, Japanese style, Middle Eastern style, European style, and American style;

  Let guests have multiple choices and multiple experiences.

  And the consumption of the Burj Al Arab Hotel is surprisingly high, a 72 square meter suite, the price is almost 1200 Hong Kong dollars a night;

  At this time, the per capita salary in Hong Kong is only about 1200 Hong Kong dollars!

  And a 150 square meter presidential suite, the price is as high as 15,000 Hong Kong dollars per night;

  This price, even if Wu Guangyao heard it, he was almost shocked!

  But Charles, the CEO of Starlight Hotel, doesn’t think it’s expensive at all. He thinks that the presidential suite doesn’t need to be full every day, all he wants is a stunt;

  Moreover, they have to provide suite services for important people to come to Hong Kong;

  What's more, Wu Guangyao directly asked for a suite as his occasional place to stay, not to be rented out.

  Wu Guangyao brought hundreds of guests to the front of the hotel. The fountain in the pool seemed to have an induction, and immediately started spraying water jets;

  At the same time, there is a burst of light music in everyone’s ears;

  Everyone listened to the music and looked at the fountains on both sides of the hotel boulevard. They were amazed!

  "This is the induction device designed by Lenovo Electronics for the hotel. As long as there are guests coming to the Burj Al Arab Hotel, they will receive our warmest welcome!" Wu Guangyao explained to the princess Marg, the new prime minister and others.

  Japan’s Minister of Economy, Nakasone Yasuhiro said with a smile: "Lenovo Group is the pride of our Japanese companies!"

  Nakasone Yasuhiro said that there is no problem with this sentence. The Japanese people occupy a lot of power in Lenovo Group, whether it is from the shareholding, or from the management and R&D team;

  What's more, Lenovo Group itself was an alliance of dozens of Japanese companies from the beginning!

  However, Nakasone Yasuhiro said this sentence in this scene, naturally, there is also a deep meaning!

  Nakasone Yasuhiro, this person has quite a bright political career, don’t think he is now only a cabinet minister;

  But in the 1980s, Yasuhiro Nakasone served as prime minister for three full terms, and was the third-longest prime minister in Japanese history.

  Wu Guangyao responded with a smile: “Lenovo’s rise from Japan to become a multinational company cannot do without the support of all parties in Japan!”

   also has something to say, not only without losing politeness, but also to say that Lenovo Group has become a world company.

  This is just an episode. Wu Guangyao and Nakasone Yasuhiro have a good relationship, so naturally they will not compete on this.

  MacLehose watched Wu Guangyao talking and laughing with top politicians at this time, and he felt a little uncomfortable;

  The governor of the colony, according to common sense, is equivalent to the existence of the queen;

  But now, Wu Guangyao's momentum is obviously not weaker than that of the governor!

  In particular, McLehose felt even more insulted when he saw Margaret next to Wu Guangyao;

  It turned out that Margaret and Wu Guangyao have a very good relationship. In addition, Margaret has not been very good in recent years, and MacLehose is worried that there will be a super friendship between the two.

   Soon, MacLehose waved away the thoughts in his head, what did he worry about about the royal family?

  Princess Margaret has often visited various private receptions in recent years, making big cigars, acting slutty, and even going to be fruity on the beach, all British people know;

  There are no royal family and parliament members to take care of it, so I am a governor and worry about it!

  A group of people, talking and laughing, walked towards the hotel door!

  At the door, Miss Yingbin is very beautiful, even Wu Guangyao is a little bit excited;

  These welcome ladies are European, American and Asian, but it is certain that English is a basic skill.

  Walking into the lobby of the hotel, everyone’s first feeling is ‘too luxurious! ’

  The most eye-catching thing is the ‘Horse Stepping Feiyan’ in the center of the hall. The golden horse imitates the Eastern Han bronze ‘Horse Stepping Feiyan’ from the mainland a few years ago;

  At that time,'Horse Stepping on Feiyan' caused a huge sensation at home and abroad!

  This scene, Wu Guangyao naturally wants to explain: "This is a golden horse weighing a ton, and the shape of the horse is a model of the famous Chinese Eastern Han cultural relic'Horse Stepping on the Flying Swallow' a few years ago."

  Listening to what Wu Guangyao said, several leading figures leaned forward to the golden horse and began to visit;

  At this time, hesitant Wu Guangyao and others walked slowly, and some guests in the rear could only wait in an orderly manner;

  After all, the organizer is maintaining safety and order!

Wu Guangyao then pointed to the hanging paintings on the wall of the hall and said: "Everyone, the famous paintings in this hall are authentic. You can visit them; of course, the authors of these famous paintings are not first-class painters; this is not because of our hotel. There are no famous paintings by Van Gogh, Picasso, Qi Baishi, etc., but to ensure that human Kuibao is not at risk, we chose to put their paintings in the presidential suite."

  Everyone not only did not think that the quality of the Burj Al Arab Hotel was low, but that the quality was too high!

  Is that the world’s top famous painting, actually placed in the hotel?

  Actually, the famous paintings in the Presidential Suite are not the top masterpieces of these painters, they are just a few ‘not very valuable’ paintings;

  Even in the 21st century, the value will not exceed 10 million Hong Kong dollars!

  Furthermore, these famous paintings have been processed by professionals, and they are very well preserved, just like the exhibits in the museum.

  After participating in the exhibition, everyone would walk through the stairs to the banquet hall on the third floor.

  If you don’t take the elevator, it is natural to consider the number of people and there will be safety issues;

  Plus, the banquet hall is only on the third floor!

  Furthermore, a full 500 guests came this time, in order to let everyone return without disappointment;

  The Burj Al Arab Hotel can only allow four to five people to live in a suite;

  No way, there are 108 suites in total!

  Of course, real VIPs can still guarantee the supply of a suite!

  There are many restaurants in the hotel, the most luxurious one is the top space restaurant, which can accommodate 100 people for dining;

  The dining hall on the third floor is obviously luxurious enough;

  Since it is a sailing hotel, of course there are ubiquitous themes related to ‘sea’;

  Giant aquarium, there are all kinds of marine life immediately, allowing people to have a feeling of being on the bottom of the sea while eating.

  After the lunch, the hotel assigned a room and room card for everyone. In the afternoon, everyone can freely move around and visit the New World Center as much as possible!

  Since the Burj Al Arab Hotel invited reporters from various countries to visit the opening ceremony and experience the accommodation;

  The Burj Al Arab Hotel immediately became famous in the world, resounding at home and abroad!

  "Sydney Opera House is a landmark in Australia, and the Eiffel Tower is a landmark in France, then the landmark of Hong Kong is the ‘Burj Al Arab Hotel’"

  "I can't find any language to describe it. I can only use 7 stars to rate it to show its difference."

  And so on, the comments from the European and American media made Wu Guangyao feel that this hospitality is not a loss!

  The most powerful thing is Princess Margaret’s remarks, ‘I’m in love with him, not bad, I’m in love with Burj Al Arab! ’

  Various blessings of speech, suddenly made the Burj Al Arab synonymous with the most luxurious hotel;

  Even, some people in the world who don’t know Hong Kong also know Hong Kong because of the Burj Al Arab Hotel!

  Hutchison Bank Headquarters

  Wu Guangyao listened to Wei Li’s report and nodded from time to time to express his affirmation to Wei Li.

  If Wei Li puts his ambitions away, Wu Guangyao is really willing to let him stay at Hutchison for a few more years;

  Of course, Wu Guangyao is not Superman Li in his previous life. Superman Li had no deterrent against Wei Li at that time, so Wei Li was not willing to surrender;

  Wu Guangyao is different. Regardless of strength and ability, Li Chaoren, who is far superior to his previous life, can't suppress a senior hitman.

  "At present, we have purchased 150 million Hong Kong dollars in gold for investment!"

  "What is the average cost?"

   "US$145.2 per ounce!"

   "Well, very good results! This is the end of the matter, we only need to wait, when we sell, I will give you the answer!"

   "Yes, BOSS!"

  Wu Guangyao asked again: "How is the acquisition of Yonggao Company going?"

  Wei Li shook his head and said, “Yonggao’s asking price is too high. The lowest price is only 135 million Hong Kong dollars, which is more than 20 million Hong Kong dollars higher than we expected."

  Wu Guangyao pondered for a moment, and said: “Then let it dry first, and remind them from time to time that we have the intention to acquire it!”

  Yonggao Company is a US-owned company that owns the Hilton Hotel in Central and the Hyatt Hotel in Bali, Indonesia;

  The oil crisis is coming, these two companies bear the brunt one after another, especially the Hyatt Hotel in Bali, Indonesia, which has suffered losses;

   Coupled with the economic problems in the United States, Wu Guangyao is not afraid that Yonggao will not sell;

  So, don’t rush to make a deal right away, anyway, the oil crisis will last for several years!

"Yes! Yonggao's major shareholder is a medium-sized industrial company in the United States that has been affected by the oil crisis; I can see that they intend to sell; at most 1 year, I can get no more than 120 million Hong Kong dollars. Down." Wei Lisheng was afraid that Wu Guangyao would feel that he was incapable of doing things badly, so he issued a military order.

  Wu Guangyao nodded and expressed his compliment.

  After talking about two old things, Wu Guangyao decided to add another business to Hutchison.

   "I intend to enter the telecommunications industry through Hutchison Holdings, and your management will write a report to me recently!"

  Wei Li's spirit was shocked, and the expression of preparedness rushed out.

  "Boss, it's a coincidence that I happen to know that the only pager on Hong Kong Island, "Apollo" company, intends to sell!"

  Wu Guangyao was shocked, but he did not expect someone to give pillows when he fell asleep;

  Compared to starting from scratch, Wu Guangyao is still keen to acquire experienced companies.

  At this time, the pager industry on Hong Kong Island is still in its infancy. It is the right time and place to start with the Hutchison Company.

  In fact, Hong Kong's paging service has been launched in the late 1960s;

  In August 1969, a US reporter stationed in Hong Kong opened a Republic company, applied for a paging card from the Hong Kong Post Office, and installed a transmitter in Happy Valley to provide paging services;

  However, the Republic company was established for half a year, and it hastily announced the end;

  A new thing is not so easy to accept.

  The second paging company on Hong Kong Island, ‘Apollo’ company, was established in 1970;

  This year, Apollo, which has been established for four years, intends to sell the company. Obviously, it has encountered difficulties in operation.

Wu Guangyao said: "Then you go and get it as soon as possible! Since this Apollo company intends to sell, it must be mismanaged and did not attract enough business. After you take down this company, develop a sales strategy, it will Institutions and government departments are listed as the main sales targets because they all have this demand."

   Entered the pager in the mid-1970s, and entered the mobile phone field in the early 1980s. This was Wu Guangyao's plan;

  When the time is right, Wu Guangyao will even initiate the acquisition of Hong Kong Telecom through Hutchison Telecommunications;

  At that time, Wu Guangyao will once again monopolize Hong Kong's telecommunications business;

  That is, Hong Kong citizens are inseparable from the Wu family in all aspects!
