Baiyue Cave Master
Chapter 574 Taking advantage of the situation
Wang Yuanchao smiled softly and said:
"John Keswick is not the boss of Jardine Matheson. Jardine Matheson is the property of John Keswick's family.
John Keswick is the current chairman of Jardine Matheson.
Moreover, the market is like a battlefield. In business, it is normal for the big fish to eat the small fish.
You must know that in this world there are no eternal enemies or eternal friends, only eternal interests.
We and Jardine Matheson are not enemies of life and death, and there is no unresolved grudge.
What's more, the cooperation on premium rice can provide our group with another distribution channel, and our group will not lose money, so why not do it?"
"Oh, Yuan Chao, I understand."
This is also the reason why Wang Yuanchao took Liu Qianqian with him when he participated in external activities, but not Liu Mei.
Because Liu Qianqian is really smart and obedient, and has an excellent visual temperament and a good cultural level, she is really impressive.
"Come on, Mr. Wang, this is Mr. Lawrence Kadoorie, our Executive Councillor for Hong Kong Island and Chairman of China Light and Power Company.
Councillor Lawrence, Mr. Wang is a distinguished guest of HSBC Bank and a rising star in Hong Kong’s business community. He is the youngest self-made billionaire and a rare young talent.
Lawrence Kadoorie smiled and stretched out his hand and said:
"Mr. Wang is really a young and promising man. Your company's premium rice is really famous in Hong Kong.
The entire Hong Kong upper class applauded it, it was really a great event.”
Wang Yuanchao smiled without any embarrassment and said:
"It's just a trivial achievement, I'm sorry to make you laugh, but it's my honor to have the opportunity to make some contribution to the social elites of Hong Kong."
Although Lawrence always spoke to Wang Yuanchao with a kind smile on his face, Wang Yuanchao did not dare to take it lightly at all. He was a man who was able to expand his business in Hong Kong Island across so many industries, including electricity, textiles, real estate, hotels, banks, rubber, carpets, warehousing, and ship repair.
If you think about it, you will know that it is not simple.
But there is no need for Wang Yuanchao to provoke others for no reason. He just needs to be careful not to be plotted against.
Michelle took Wang Yuanchao on a tour and got to know all the prominent white people in Hong Kong Island. They exchanged many business cards with each other. After they became familiar with each other, they walked towards the Governor of the Hong Kong government with Michelle.
When the Governor of Hong Kong, Murray MacLehose, saw Michelle, dressed in an exquisite HSBC uniform, leading Wang Yuanchao and his party over, he was puzzled after all, but he still raised his glass with a smile on his face.
"Hello, Mr. Governor,
I am Michelle, the key account manager of HSBC Bank. I have been entrusted by our team to
We specially brought our HSBC VIP, Mr. Wang Yuanchao of Xiangjiang Group to meet people,
I saw you by accident, so I brought Mr. Wang Yuanchao with me to say hello to you."
Governor MacLehose was familiar with the Xiangjiang Group and had previously planned to cooperate with Jardine Matheson to rob the company.
So MacLehose smiled and said:
"Mr. Wang is a big celebrity in Hong Kong recently.
Your company's premium rice has created a sensation in high society throughout East Asia.
It has attracted the attention of the elites of the global upper class."
Wang Yuanchao did not dare to act in front of this man. Being afraid is one thing, but there is no need to offend such a fool.
So I humbly say:
"We have to thank the Hong Kong government for its steadfast commitment to free trade and free business policies, which has given us businesspeople the opportunity to make money.
Without the firm support of the Hong Kong government, even the best products will be easily buried.
The reason why our Xiangjiang Group is what it is today is largely due to the contribution of the Governor of Hong Kong."
"Haha, this also has a lot to do with Wang Sheng's personal ability.
I personally and the Hong Kong government both value and hope that big businessmen like Mr. Wang can continue to invest in Hong Kong and work together to make Hong Kong more beautiful.”
Wang Yuanchao's eyes flickered, knowing that the sex scene was about to begin. However, when he came over to say hello, Wang Yuanchao was already prepared, so he said straightforwardly:
"Yes, Hong Kong is my home. Building a beautiful Hong Kong is also the mission of us businessmen."
The Governor looked at Wang Yuanchao with curiosity and asked doubtfully:
"Oh, what big move is Wang Sheng going to make next?"
Wang Yuanchao smiled and modestly expressed his plan:
"Xiangjiang Group is a Hong Kong-based enterprise. I personally have a few ideas about the future development of the group.
However, these ideas may require the support of the Governor.”
When MacLehose heard what Wang Yuanchao said, he was very satisfied with Wang Yuanchao's attitude of climbing up the ladder. He thought, "It's good enough if you know what's good for you, isn't it? As for negotiating the conditions, that doesn't matter. Isn't that how business is negotiated?" So he smiled calmly and said:
"Oh, I am very interested in Wang Sheng's plan. I wonder if Wang Sheng would be willing to tell me about it?"
Wang Yuanchao said with an expression of willingness to help:
"Of course, it is my honor that the Governor is willing to listen.
My first plan is to set up a free TV station in Hong Kong Island so that all residents of Hong Kong Island can enjoy richer spiritual entertainment and the vast majority of Hong Kong citizens can watch more high-quality TV programs.
At the same time, I also plan to purchase 2000000 square meters of building land near Po Chi Wan or Chai Wan on Hong Kong Island to build a large film and television base as a base for filming films, so I hope the Hong Kong government can give some discounts on the land price. "
The Governor of Hong Kong listened to Wang Yuanchao's first plan. The land to be purchased was large enough, and although the location of the land was remote, it could also bring a large amount of land purchase funds to the Hong Kong government. He was quite satisfied and asked:
"Where do you plan to place the TV tower?"
Wang Yuanchao paused for a moment, then added with a smile:
"I plan to build an office building next to the film and television base as the office space for the wireless television station, and in the future the TV tower will be located on the roof of the office building."
The Governor of Hong Kong heard this and asked curiously:
"What do you think about the price of land for film and television bases?"
Wang Yuanchao frowned. He didn't expect that Murray MacLehose would be so anxious about his plan. However, he still smiled gentlemanly and said:
"Mr. Hongfu, I have no intention of bargaining with the Hong Kong government about the price of the land. The current price of the land is what it is.
The film and television base is a supporting facility for TV stations.
I hope the Hong Kong government can plan for industrial use and then sell this land to me at the current industrial property price.
I will buy the other office building sites at commercial prices.”
After hearing Wang Yuanchao's request, the Governor looked at the Financial Secretary, Harry Potter, with a puzzled look on his face.
Seeing this, Xia Dingji quickly explained in MacLehose's ear:
“Mr. Governor, in order to develop Hong Kong’s industry, the price of industrial land has always been 10 times cheaper than that of residential land. Compared with commercial land, the price is even lower.
Furthermore, although Po Chi Wan and Chai Wan are located in the northeast of Hong Kong Island, they are largely undeveloped and relatively remote. Therefore, after evaluation, the land prices are estimated to be even lower than the current industrial land prices in Hong Kong.”
When MacLehose heard this, he realized there was nothing he didn't understand. At first he thought Wang Yuanchao was young and easy to fool, but he didn't expect him to be such a shrewd person.
