Hong Kong variety show: Building a century-old family, starting with Hung Hing

"His abilities are just average."

Lin Huahui thought for a moment and said, "The Long Group can only be described as average in Hong Kong's construction industry."

"Especially last year, a project that the Long Group took over actually collapsed..."

Before Lin Huahui could finish speaking, Long Jiajun hurriedly stood up and said, "Excuse me, Mr. Lin, may I interrupt you?"

"you are?"

Lin Huahui looked at the other person and asked in confusion.

"This is the general manager of the Long Group," Jiang Tiansheng said.

"Hello, Mr. Long."

Upon hearing this, Lin Huahui simply nodded to Long Jiajun.

"President Lin, excuse me for interrupting you. I'd like to explain something. The matter from last year wasn't our Long Group's fault. It was mainly because the investors provided the raw materials themselves, which caused the project to run into problems..." Long Jiajun hurriedly explained.

Last year, the Long Group undertook a project, but a collapse was discovered when the project was halfway completed.

The investigation later revealed that the problem lay with the materials provided by Party A.

Although the Long family was innocent in this incident, it still had a significant impact on their reputation.

"That being said, it also proves that your Long family's supervision is inadequate." Lin Huahui looked at Long Jiajun calmly and said, "If you had discovered the problem with the materials earlier and communicated with the client sooner, you could have completely avoided this incident."

No matter where it is, especially when large sums of money are involved, it is inevitable that some inferior goods will be passed off as superior ones.

Last year, the Longshi Group's project was like this: the person in charge of the client took kickbacks and used substandard materials.

The Long family failed to discover the problem early enough, which led to an issue.

Just as Lin Huahui said, if the Long family had paid more attention and conducted more checks, perhaps this problem would not have occurred.

Although the responsibility does not lie with the Long family, sometimes, the construction industry relies on reputation.

If Longshi had discovered this earlier and actively communicated with the client, they might have gained a professional and "responsible" image.

"I……"

Long Jiajun opened his mouth, but in the end, he didn't say anything.

indeed.

After the incident, Long Jiajun was filled with regret. The Long family had failed to seize such a good opportunity and ended up being implicated.

"Chairman, I strongly advise against handing over the Xinghewan Building and Huanqiu Building projects to the Long family." Lin Huahui looked at Jiang Tiansheng with a serious expression.

"Have you chosen someone yet?"

Jiang Tiansheng looked at Lin Huahui and asked.

"We have a preliminary plan, but it hasn't been finalized yet."

Because there were outsiders present, Lin Huahui didn't go into too much detail.

"kindness"

Jiang Tiansheng nodded, then looked at Long Jiwen and Long Jiajun and said, "I'm sorry, it seems that we will not be able to cooperate this time."

Perhaps, because of what happened last year, the Long Group will change, but that's just a possibility. Who can guarantee that?

Spending tens of billions is no joke.

With so much money invested, if there are problems with the construction, the impact would be disastrous.

"Excuse me, Mr. Jiang."

Lung Kei-man was the first to apologize.

"It doesn't matter."

Jiang Tiansheng shook his head, then said to Long Jiwen, "Next time you need anything, you can just call me directly. There's no need to wait downstairs at the company."

"Yes, I understand, Mr. Jiang."

Long Jiwen stood up and said, "Mr. Jiang, we'll take our leave now."

She could still tell from such an obvious attempt to send the guest away.

"Okay, I'll have Wenjing see you off..."

"No need, Mr. Jiang."

Long Jiwen hurriedly waved his hand in refusal.

After leaving the Xinghe Building, Long Jiwen's expression was rather grim. He looked at Long Jiajun and questioned, "Why didn't you tell me about what happened at the Long family last year?"

Long Jiwen genuinely had no idea that the Long family had encountered this situation last year.

If she had known, she wouldn't have come here today.

"I also feel that the Long family was wronged last year."

Long Jiajun sighed and explained with a helpless expression.

"you……"

Long Jiwen looked at Long Jiajun with a helpless expression, wondering how Mr. Jiang would view him.

Just then, Long Jiwen's phone rang. He took it out and saw that it was Jiang Tiansheng calling.

"Hello, Mr. Jiang?"

Long Jiwen answered the phone.

"I suddenly remembered that although we can't give you the projects from Xinghe Group and Huanqiu Group, there is still a small project. I wonder if you would be willing to take it?" Jiang Tiansheng's voice came from the phone.

"Of course I do."

Long Jiwen hurriedly spoke up.

"Then you should come back now."

“Okay, Mr. Jiang, we’ll head back now.”

After hanging up the phone, Long Jiwen looked at Long Jiajun and said, "Let's go back."

"Has Mr. Jiang changed his mind?" Long Jiajun asked hurriedly.

"That's not it."

Long Jiwen shook his head and said, "Don't even think about the Xinghe Building and Huanqiu Building projects. It's absolutely impossible."

"Then why would we go back?"

Long Jiajun asked, looking puzzled.

“There is another small project,” Long Jiwen said as he walked.

"Small projects?"

Upon hearing this, Long Jiajun frowned.

"What? You're looking down on me now?"

Long Jiwen looked at Long Jiajun and frowned slightly.

“Cousin, the Long family has plenty of small projects, so there’s no need to go to Xinghe Group, right?” Long Jiajun hesitated for a moment before speaking.

The Long Group, while not a large conglomerate, is not a small one either. They really don't take on projects of average size.

"What do you know?"

Long Jiwen glared at Long Jiajun and said, "I really don't know how you've managed to develop the Long Group all these years."

"You can't even understand such a simple principle?"

"Understand what?"

Long Jiajun asked with a puzzled look.

"What do you think Xinghe Group is? How small can a project be?" Long Jiwen looked at Long Jiajun and said.

"Besides, so what if it's a small project? Even if it's just fixing a toilet, our Long Group will do it, and we'll do it meticulously."

"why?"

"Do you think that Xinghe Group's Xinghewan project is a small project? You know where Xinghewan is."

How many skyscrapers will Xinghewan build in the future? And which companies will they hire for these projects?

This time, if our Long Group performs well, we might get big projects in the future. Do you understand?

After Long Jiwen finished speaking, she looked at Long Jiajun and muttered to herself, she really didn't know how Long Jiajun had managed to expand the Long Group over the years.

To put it bluntly, Lung Ka-Chun has come at a good time.

At that time, Hong Kong was undergoing large-scale construction, so it had no shortage of projects.

The Lung Group has gained some fame in Hong Kong over the years and is still able to secure many projects.

That's how you make money.

When the tide really goes out, we'll be able to see who's been swimming naked.

"Understood, cousin."

Long Jiajun's eyes lit up immediately.

After hearing what Long Jiwen said, Long Jiajun immediately realized what was going on.

The size of this project is unknown, but it doesn't matter; it's just a stepping stone for the Long family.

This is so that it can be included in the Star River Bay project in the future.

Tell me, which construction company are you interested in?

After Long Jiwen and Long Jiajun left, Jiang Tiansheng looked at Lin Huahui and asked.

"Chairman, this is the one."

As Lin Huahui spoke, he took out a document and placed it in front of Jiang Tiansheng, saying, "It's this Cheng Group."

"This Cheng Group started in construction and has now expanded into many other industries..."

Under Lin Huahui's introduction, Jiang Tiansheng gradually learned about the Cheng Group.

Simply put, this group is very powerful, and it can even be said to be among the top three in Hong Kong.

Furthermore, this group is highly professional, especially in the field of architecture, and even has its own design institute.

What's most remarkable is that this company has a near-perfect reputation in the industry.

Moreover, the Cheng Group has another advantage: its payment methods are very flexible.

At present, Xinghe Group is short of cash, which Cheng's Group can provide as a loan advance.

That alone is enough.

"Advance payment is unnecessary."

Jiang Tiansheng shook his head slightly.

Although Xinghe Group is currently short of funds, it will soon be rich.

Because of Jiang Tiansheng, something suddenly came to mind.

In Operation Eagle, there was gold left behind by the Nazis in the desert, at least a hundred tons of gold.

The current international gold price is US$423 per ounce, which is equivalent to HK$104 per gram.

Based on this price, a ton of gold would cost 1 million Hong Kong dollars.

One hundred tons, which would cost at least ten billion Hong Kong dollars, and the quantity would only be more than that, not less.

If we can acquire this batch of gold, the plan to build Xinghe Bay can be realized a year ahead of schedule.

When gold was mentioned, Jiang Tiansheng recalled his memories: in later generations, the overall trend for gold was upward, and it would rise sharply.

However, this was in the 80s, specifically in 83, and the price of gold was not very high.

"The current price of gold is $423 per ounce, and it will probably rise to $599 per ounce by the end of the year," Jiang Tiansheng began, reviewing the growth trend of gold.

After gold rose to $599 an ounce, it wasn't until 85 that the international gold price fell to around $300 an ounce.

The following two decades were a period of low gold prices, during which the international gold price never exceeded $400 per ounce.

But it will soon drop again.

It wasn't until after 2000 that international gold prices began to rise steadily. Although there were periods of decline, the overall trend was still upward.

Take the present as an example.

In just a few months, the price of gold has risen by more than 41%.

If you invest in gold now, a 10 billion investment could yield a 4 billion profit in just a few months.

If we have 100 billion, we can make a profit of over 40 billion.

'This is indeed an opportunity.'

Jiang Tiansheng estimated that if the project were to stop, he could divert a lot of funds, at least 30 billion yuan.

The last time they laundered billions of US dollars, which is equivalent to more than 50 billion Hong Kong dollars, they have only spent a little over 10 billion so far.

The project cannot be stopped.

Jiang Tiansheng made a decision very quickly.

Making money from gold is less important than making money from operating a project.

"Never mind, let's see what happens next." Jiang Tiansheng shook his head slightly, not having any better ideas.

"I trust you with the Galaxy and Global projects; you can make the decisions yourself," Jiang Tiansheng said to Lin Huahui.

"Yes, Chairman."
