Starting out as a drug dealer in 1988

He took Cheng Gong, Zhou Chen and others shopping for the whole afternoon. He not only bought a gift for Yang Yue, but also bought some things for his family.

Of course, he did not forget the entourage around him.

Like Kuang Youzhi, he specially selected a valuable handbag as a reward for his recent period.

After half a day of strolling, Zhao Wenhao finally returned to the hotel.

The next day, he arrived at the company after being picked up by Cheng Gong and Zhou Chen.

Although the company's middle and senior management were all recruited by him personally, he had not been in Hong Kong Island for a long time, so there must have been certain problems in communication.

Therefore, this time when he came to Hong Kong Island, in addition to attending the auction, he also had to make certain arrangements on the company's side.

"Zhengsheng, are you used to staying here?"

Zhao Wenhao smiled and pulled He Zhengsheng to sit on the sofa.

If we talk about the most trusted confidant in Hong Kong Island, it must be Ho Ching-sing.

He is Xiang Zhifeng's cousin and previously worked as deputy financial director at Hengyuan Electronics.

Zhao Wenhao had a close relationship with the Xiang family. When considering the financial director of the Hong Kong Island company, Zhao Wenhao thought of this person first.

"It was a little bit hard to get used to it at first. I needed to adapt to the language and the food. But after such a long time, I'm finally fine."

He Zhengsheng respectfully offered Zhao Wenhao a cigarette.

In fact, he was quite grateful to his boss for transferring him to Hong Kong Island.

Compared with the backwardness of the mainland, the prosperity of Hong Kong Island really made him feel dazzled.

He plans to work hard here for a few years, settle down in Hong Kong Island in the future, and bring his wife and children over.

Therefore, he is quite enthusiastic and dedicated to this job.

"Are there any difficulties at home that I can help you solve? There's no need for formalities in our relationship. Just say what you want to say." Zhao Wenhao took the cigarette and lit it himself.

He Zhengsheng shook his head repeatedly: "No, really not. My family is doing well, and my salary here is nearly ten times higher than back home. How could I have any other thoughts? Thank you, Mr. Zhao, for your concern for me."

"Okay, if you have anything to say, just tell me. I will definitely do what I can."

Zhao Wenhao did not make any practical promises. After all, He Zhengsheng has not been working in Hong Kong Island for too long, so let's talk about it after a while.

So, next, He Zhengsheng began to formally report his work to Zhao Wenhao.

He is not only the financial director of Zhao Wenhao's Hong Kong company, but also more like a nail, staring here.

Even though he is not involved in anything other than financial work, he keeps an eye on many aspects.

Good or bad, He Zhengsheng always has a record in his mind.

Of course, Zhao Wenhao would not just listen to his one-sided words. He would take his words as an important reference, and the final judgment would be made by Zhao Wenhao himself.

But even so, some problems were found.

An hour later, He Zhengsheng walked out of the office.

Then, other middle and senior management went in one by one and faced Zhao Wenhao's questioning.

If there is something wrong, correct it; if there is nothing wrong, try harder.

Zhao Wenhao spoke frankly about the existing problems, and those who made contributions were also rewarded.

At this time, Kuang Youzhi was sitting in his office, feeling a little uneasy.

He knew that the boss was calling employees over one by one for a talk, but he, the vice president, hadn't been called yet. This made him feel a little uneasy.

He didn't know whether these employees would tell tales to the boss or something like that, and he thought he was doing a pretty conscientious job in his position.

But Zhao Wenhao's actions made him feel not only dissatisfied but also uneasy.

"Boss Kuang, Boss Zhao wants you to come over."

It was not until the afternoon that Zhou Chen knocked on the door and came in.

Kuang Youzhi stood up and followed Zhou Chen into the general manager's office.

"Boss Kuang, come and sit down!"

Zhao Wenhao was sitting on the sofa, drinking tea. When he saw Kuang Youzhi come in, he smiled and invited him over.

Kuang Youzhi sat over and was about to say something, but was unexpectedly interrupted by Zhao Wenhao.

"Boss Kuang, please don't mind me. I just want to find out the real situation from the employees."

"I dare not. This is what I should do." Kuang Youzhi shook his head repeatedly.

Zhao Wenhao nodded and continued, "Overall, Kuang is a good leader with outstanding performance, which deserves recognition."

Hearing this, Kuang Youzhi finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Previously, he was a manager in the financial department of Dayou Bank and could only be considered a middle-level manager.

Now he is the vice president of New Century Investment Company, and he is the kind of vice president who does not care about the boss's affairs most of the time. In addition, he is in charge of more than one billion Hong Kong dollars of the company's funds.

It can be said that the power is great.

Of course he hopes to continue doing this and get recognition from his boss.

"I'm not here to pick on you today, but to discuss the company's future plans."

Zhao Wenhao did not continue to talk about management issues, but changed the subject.

"Mr. Zhao, you go ahead!" Kuang Youzhi sat up straight.

"Hengyuan Electronics has also been expanding rapidly in the past two years, so there will be no further funding for the time being.

Director He showed me the financial statements before, and all our assets amounted to HK$18.57 billion.

Among them, properties such as shops and office buildings account for 60%.

I asked someone to do a survey and research, and the data showed that in the next two years, the land prices in Hong Kong Island will continue to rise significantly.

Therefore, I plan to increase my investment in this area and continue to buy land and buildings.

Of course, stocks and futures will continue to account for 40%.

Zhao Wenhao expressed his thoughts.

In fact, in another space, starting from the second half of 1994, housing prices in the entire Hong Kong Island accelerated like an airplane.

In some prosperous areas, the price has increased by no less than ten times.

The previous principle of New Century Investment Company was to do as much as possible with the money available, with stability being the priority.

But next, we will face strategic adjustments.

Kuang Youzhi thought for a moment, then asked doubtfully, "Mr. Zhao, are you planning to take out a loan to speculate in real estate and land?"

Zhao Wenhao nodded solemnly: "Use all our existing properties, shops, and land as collateral for loans, and then buy more buildings, shops, and land. Repeat the cycle!"

Hearing this, Kuang Youzhi was shocked and immediately asked, "Mr. Zhao, this will put a huge test on our capital chain. If the real estate market experiences a major decline, we will definitely be unable to repay the loan and face bankruptcy."

If Zhao Wenhao didn't clearly know that the land and housing prices in Hong Kong Island would continue to rise sharply in the next two years, he would definitely not have done this.

In that case, just as Kuang Youzhi said, once fluctuations occur, the pressure of funds will be like an overwhelming tidal wave.

Without additional capital injection, the company will inevitably become insolvent and go bankrupt.

But since he knew that this situation would not happen, Zhao Wenhao was of course ready to give it a try.
