240 Raised millions of funds
In July 1953, as in previous years, Hong Kong Island began to enter the "steamer time". The sweaty Hong Kong people chewed Weidong spicy strips and drank Wanglaoji herbal tea to relieve the moisture in their bodies.
News of the last negotiation between the two sides of the Korea Island War has spread all over the world. With the demarcation of the famous "line of peace", most of Asia has felt relieved; it is like a cool wind blowing through Hong Kong and Kowloon in an instant. This Oriental Pearl, which has been affected by the war for three years, was suddenly wiped away by someone's sand mud covering the surface, and suddenly shining with shining light.
In fact, since the second half of 1950, the economy of Hong Kong has been recovering and continuing to develop. Although the war has caused the demand for Hong Kong people to buy property, real estate prices have experienced a year and a half decline, but the overall price has shown an upward curve. By the beginning of 1953, the average income of Hong Kong people had exceeded the 100 yuan mark. At this time, the monthly salary of a military uniform soldier was 180 yuan.
Weaving, hardware, warehouse, rubber, foreign industry... all walks of life have developed well, especially after the news of the armistice, the finance and real estate industries ushered in a period of great development.
Zhou Wenqiang's deepest feelings about this.
In more than a month after the demarcation of the "Peace Line" of the Island, the savings absorbed by Hang Seng Bank increased by 70%, and the loans released also increased by 55% month-on-month during the same period, and the loans collected and released were extremely healthy.
In terms of real estate, after Hong Kong Island real estate king Cheng Yutong built Lantang Villa in Happy Valley, many real estate projects have been heard, including Zhou Wenqiang's comrade-in-arms and old friend Lei Ying-tung, as well as Li Jiacheng, who has a delicate relationship.
Li Jiacheng is indeed a good businessman. In this world, he relied on "borrowing the east wind" and used the relationship between Shenzhou Company's sea gold route and Europe and the United States to launch his own plastic flowers two years earlier than in real history, and earned his first pot of gold worth millions of Hong Kong dollars two years ago!
In the past two years, Li Jiacheng has accumulated three million yuan in funds through the plastic flower factory and Wanglaoji herbal tea's "bag processing" business, and boldly entered the real estate market, preparing to achieve a "three-level jump" as in history.
Moreover, he has great courage and a very accurate vision. He only took action less than half a year later than Zhou Wenqiang. He also "went quietly into the village and didn't want to shoot." Even Zhou Wenqiang hid the few pieces of land he bought in the New Territories.
You should know that of the three million funds he used, at least two million was the money of "Yellow River Industry", most of which were Zhou Wenqiang's shares.
The old fox is the old fox. Even if he is just a little fox now, he cannot be underestimated...
Looking at the investigation information given by "Sky Eye", Zhou Wenqiang smiled and shook his head. Good old Li! You made the land market angry and resentful in later generations. I didn't expect that this problem has been lost since my youth?
Obviously, when Li Jiacheng purchased these pieces of land, he did not think about developing and utilizing it, but was preparing to directly transfer and make a profit of the difference!
The real estate business in Hong Kong is originally divided into two categories: one is like Lei Yingdong, which makes money and serves regional development. After purchasing land, it has to go through a series of relocation, development, sale, and funds are recovered... This is called "real estate". While making money by yourself, it will also change the regional environment and boost the regional economy.
Another type is like Li Jiacheng, who buys land at a low price, sells at a high price, and waits for the heat, making a big profit. This is called "land speculation"!
It is a completely capital game. It makes a lot of money by itself, but it is of no benefit to regional development and will even play the opposite role.
After placing a fork on the information about Li Jiacheng and throwing it aside, Zhou Wenqiang glanced at Jiang Wentao standing in front of him and said, "How much money can Beiwang Group mobilize at present?"
Jiang Wentao said with embarrassment: "Boss, since Ms. Cen took over, although it is not very profitable, it no longer drags down the group. Life would have been better, but the loss-making big player of "Zhenlong TV" appeared again..."
"Also, although we gradually restored some of the sea gold routes in the late stage of the Korean War, the business of transporting embargoed materials was gone as soon as the war stopped. Although the beverages and various convenience foods under Beiwang make money, they are only considered to be a long-term flow... Although the company has a lot of cash now, if the money Davidson had compensated at the beginning was removed, there was actually not much left. After all, if the family business is big, there will be great difficulties..."
"Wen Tao, I'm asking your group how much money can it mobilize at present, and who made you complain?"
Zhou Wenqiang looked at his "big butler" with some amusement. This guy has really entered the role. Every time he asks him for money, it is harder than cutting his own flesh.
I'm using my own money. What do you think you feel sorry for?
But let alone, this is a qualified butler.
"Don't complain, 'Zhenlong TV' is now in the investment stage, and it's time to burn money. As for the Northwest Security, you think I really don't know, but you just don't drag the group down? After Miss Ozu took over the security company, the operation of Kowloon Mall was handed over to her. In the past two years, the development of 'Kowloon Mall' is simply too good. Will it just stop loss?"
"If we count the business of Beiwang Company in Kowloon Mall, the profit earned by wholesale of various goods alone will not be lower than the income of beverages and convenience foods! I am obviously a mogul now, why do you have to call me a poor boy?"
"Boss, the group must leave a part of the working capital to respond. In addition, it can mobilize up to 8 million funds!"
Jiang Wentao gritted his teeth and said, "And boss, you won't really need so much money, are you?"
"Eight million is not enough! Within a month, you must raise ten million of funds for me, and I will be of great use!"
"Boss, what business are you going to do? Are you going to buy half of Hong Kong Island?"
Jiang Wentao couldn't help but raise his voice.
He has completely entered the role of the butler of the Northwest Group, and he must definitely stop the boss's "prodigal son" behavior!
"Boss, Davidson disappeared strangely, and after he disappeared, his "Global Trading Company" quietly withdrew from Hong Kong Island, and the flow of funds has not yet been clarified. This shows that the operator behind the scenes is very mysterious... I think we should be prepared for danger in times of peace and leave enough spare money..."
Zhou Wenqiang did a very secretive job of killing Davidson, and even Jiang Wentao didn't know about it. But he knew that Beiwang Group and Davidson's Global Trading Company were definitely not friends, and it was highly likely that they were enemies.
A powerful enemy suddenly turned to secret and hid in the shadows. Naturally, he, the butler of the North Looking Group, could not ignore it.
"You don't have to worry about Davidson's company, I will naturally investigate it."
Zhou Wenqiang smiled and looked at Jiang Wentao, and was actually very satisfied with him: "As for the reason why I mobilized funds... If I don't tell you, it seems that you, the 'big butler', will not be relieved, right?"
"Boss, if you refuse to say it, I can't force it. Who told me to be just a job? You are the boss?"
"Okay, don't come with me. It's okay to tell you... You should have heard of Lei Luo's history of success, right?"
