Chapter 575: Planning for Central Land

Although Governor MacLehose was impressed by Wang Yuanchao's plan, he was unsure about selling the land at such a low price, so he said:

"Well, Mr. Wang, I know your plan.

The Hong Kong server will hold a meeting to discuss this investment plan as soon as possible and give you a reply as soon as possible.

What are your other two ideas? Tell us about them together."

After listening to Governor Wang Yuanchao's words, Wang Yuanchao hesitated for a moment and then said:

"Mr. Governor, as we all know, the tallest building in the world is the Willis Tower in Chicago, the United States.

Thanks to the Hong Kong government's support and vigorous development of business, our Xiangjiang Group's business has developed rapidly.

Since the world's tallest building is built with money,

So I have been thinking whether I can acquire a piece of land in Central, Hong Kong, and build the world's tallest building.

Unfortunately, our company has only been in Hong Kong for a short time, and our group's real estate company has almost no land reserves.

So I have been waiting for the Hong Kong government's land auction next month, hoping to buy a piece of land in Central and build the world's tallest building, which will become a landmark building in Hong Kong and make Hong Kong famous. "

When the Governor of Hong Kong, Murray MacLehose, heard Wang Yuanchao's proposal for the world's tallest building, he was very excited and moved. For Murray MacLehose, this kind of thing that could make him famous all over the world was a political achievement.

It would especially help MacLehose increase his influence and voice among the nobles of the pirate nation.

So MacLehose could not wait to test it out:

"Mr. Wang, what do you think about buying the land in Central?"

Although MacLehose had just taken over the position of Governor of Hong Kong not long ago, he did not ask the stupid question of why he chose Central to acquire the land.

I want to go directly to the negotiation stage.

Wang Yuanchao thought for a moment and said:

"Mr. Governor, I have certain requirements for the land in Central.

First of all, I hope that the location of the land is as close to the Victoria Harbour as possible, so that the view of the tallest building can be minimized and the elegance of the world’s tallest building can be displayed to everyone as much as possible.

Second, Mr. Governor, I hope the land area is at least 40 acres, because the higher the floor, the more stringent the requirements for the foundation.

If the area is too small, it would be impossible to build a foundation that meets the requirements of the tallest building.

Third, if Xiangjiang Group is lucky enough to win suitable commercial land at the land auction next month, due to funding issues, construction can only begin by the end of next year or the year after.

Mr. Governor, that is all I think about this piece of land in Central."

After listening to Wang Yuanchao's request, Governor MacLehose nodded without commenting. He did not express his opinion on this issue, but said:

"The world's tallest building in Central? How tall do you plan to make it?"

Wang Yuanchao said with satisfaction:

The tallest building in the world is the Willis Tower in Chicago, USA, which is 435 meters high and has 120 floors.

My idea is to hire the world's most famous design team, purchase 45 acres of construction land, and build the world's tallest building about 500 meters high."

Governor MacLehose was completely attracted by this plan. Of course, he did not think that Wang Yuanchao was fooling him, because in Hong Kong, MacLehose did not think that a business rookie like Wang Yuanchao could afford the price of fooling him, so he asked:

"I'll sell you the land. Construction can start as early as the end of next year. Is that a problem?"

When Wang Yuanchao heard that there was a chance, he added:

“It takes a certain amount of time to hire a designer, and it also takes a lot of money to prepare.

Mr. Governor, as long as the land is available, I assure you that construction will start before the end of tomorrow."

Governor MacLehose pinched his chin, thought for a moment, and decisively said:

"If the construction starts at the end of tomorrow, I can sell you a 45-acre piece of commercial land to build the world's tallest building."

The land in Central is monopolized by white people and is not sold to Chinese businessmen. If Chinese want to move in, they can only buy the Western-style buildings and commercial buildings here at high prices and then tear them down and rebuild.

Originally, Wang Yuanchao did not have much hope of being able to buy the land in Central. He was thinking of waiting for the management department of the Hilton Hotel in Central to go bankrupt and then acquiring the hotel, and then using the land to enter Central.

Unexpectedly, there was an unexpected surprise today. If Wang Yuanchao could buy the land in Central,

Then Wang Yuanchao’s plan to build the world’s tallest building in Tsim Sha Tsui would have to be stopped, and the company’s development plan would have to be replanned.

Therefore, Wang Yuanchao was determined to acquire the land in Central, so he said:

"Please rest assured, Governor of Hong Kong. Tomorrow I will arrange for the general manager of the group to go to the Hong Kong government to discuss the specific details of the TV station, film and television base and the world's tallest building project in Central.

I can assure you that the world's tallest building will definitely start construction by the end of next year."

Governor MacLehose nodded with satisfaction, picked up the champagne and clinked glasses with Wang Yuanchao, saying:

"Mr. Wang is an outstanding young man who is dedicated to doing great things and loves Hong Kong. I believe that Mr. Wang will become a business leader in Hong Kong in the future.

Our Hong Kong government will spare no effort to support outstanding capitalists like you."

Wang Yuanchao knew that if he succeeded in these two projects, he would be able to bring great political achievements to the Governor of Hong Kong. Therefore, Governor MacLehose was completely tempted by Wang Yuanchao's big pie. However, it was a win-win situation.

You have to know that in his previous life, Sun Hung Kai's Guo Desheng had two office buildings in Central and Kowloon, and the annual rent of each building was as high as 145 billion Hong Kong dollars. It is clear that Wang Yuanchao will not lose money.

Thinking of this, Wang Yuanchao smiled and drank a sip of champagne, saying:

"Mr. Governor, I am from Hong Kong. Our Wang family will develop and live in Hong Kong in the future.

Naturally, I hope to make more contributions to Hong Kong with the support of the Governor.

After all, if I can't contribute to Hong Kong and society, no matter how much money I make, it will be meaningless.

I just hope that the world's tallest building can bring enough exposure to Hong Kong and attract more capital to invest in Hong Kong. Then I will be satisfied."

Governor Murray MacLehose was very satisfied with the conversation with Wang Yuanchao today.

After all, at MacLehose's level, he had no shortage of money, power, women, or enjoyment.

But it lacks fame and greater influence.

Now, when everyone knows that the world's tallest building was built under his leadership, he can brag about it every day for the rest of his life.

Doesn't such a political achievement just prove his excellent ability? If he handles it well, he might even be promoted to a higher rank.
