I Want To Be a Rich Man on Hong Kong Island

At the beginning of 1955, Cheung Kong Industrial Co., Ltd.

Li Xing was originally in the project department of Changjiang Industrial's new building, but Wu Guangyao called him to his office.

Seeing the dirt on his feet scattered in the boss's office, it was very eye-catching, Li Xing was so embarrassed!

Naturally, Wu Guangyao didn't care, it would be nice to have someone clean it up later.

"How many months until the project in hand is completed?" Wu Guangyao asked.

"The estimated time is 5 months. Boss, are you going to start a new project?" Li Xing saw that Wu Guangyao rarely asked about the progress of the project, so he boldly guessed.

At present, the third real estate that Cheung Kong is developing, Lanwan Villa and Shengshi Huating have been developed before;

It must be known that Cheung Kong has been established for five years and has only developed three real estate projects, and even two real estate projects are joint ventures with others, which is not to say that it is not low-key!

"I plan to develop the three plots of land in Yau Tsim Mong one by one; but instead of building a five-storey building, I will build a 16-storey residential building." Wu Guangyao said, the reason for building 16 floors is naturally because of There is an airport in the area, so there must be a height limit, and I am afraid that about 16 to 18 floors are allowed.

When Li Xing heard Wu Guangyao said that he would build a 16-story building, he got up abruptly and said in disbelief, "The Hong Kong government is going to amend the regulations?"

"Inside information, if you don't know if it's reliable, don't say anything!" Wu Guangyao emphasized. It is estimated that there is still about a month before the revision of the housing construction regulations. Wu Guangyao plans to design the drawings in advance and contact the American construction company. Next time.

"Well, I'll keep it a secret!" Li Xing nodded. As a celebrity in the Hong Kong government, it's not surprising that the boss knows some inside information, but he must not leak it, so as not to affect the boss.

Then Wu Guangyao and Li Xing talked about their specific plans: a piece of land is about 150,000 square feet, which is 25 mu of land. 25 16-storey residential buildings will be built on one piece of land, with 4 households on each floor ranging from 600 square feet to 1,200 square feet. The community has a total of 1,600 residential units and can accommodate 10,000 people.

The entire community also includes rest gardens, complete shopping malls, banks, restaurants and tea shops, grocery stores, cake shops, pharmacies, clinics, tailor shops, etc. All living needs, the community is also equipped with 2 kindergartens, 2 primary and secondary schools to solve the community's needs Children's schooling problems form a 'city within a city'.

"Hong Kong Island No. 1 Construction has no experience in building high-rise buildings, and the equipment is insufficient, and the management personnel are unprofessional. Boss, this is a big problem!" Li Xing said worriedly, but he had to admire the boss's grandeur.

"So, I'm going to ask you and Chen Cheng to go to the United States, find design companies and construction companies in the United States, and ask them to send their studios to Hong Kong Island, not only to guide us, but also to teach us. We will pay some tuition fees, It’s no big deal! As for the equipment, it’s going to be a big purchase this time, anyway, it needs to be used a lot in the past few years, so it won’t be a loss.”

Li Xing walked out of Wu Guangyao's office excitedly, his face was as if he had been slapped with chicken blood, and the staff of Cheung Kong Industrial guessed that this person has been promoted to vice president?

.........

As the end of the year approached, Wu Guangyao began to get busy. After all, the one-year summary meeting was about to start again, and it was time for each company's annual financial statements to be delivered to him.

Lenovo Electronics in Japan and the Metro chain retailer in Europe will send the reports to Hong Kong Island for their own review.

When Wu Guangyao came to Dongfang Newspaper, the staff greeted him one after another. Wu Guangyao nodded in response, and then came to his office.

Just a minute after Wu Guangyao sat down, there was a familiar male office employee leading a strange young female employee, who was holding a kettle in her hand.

"Boss, this is the new employee Gao Yue, who will also work part-time as your office clerk in the future?"

"Well, I see. Xiao Li, have you been promoted?"

"Yes, Mr. Shen plans to transfer me to Taiwan Island to work!"

Wu Guangyao nodded and said nothing more, the office has always been a shortcut for promotion, and it is easy to get promoted;

certainly,

It is also related to their cultural level.

Looking at Gao Yue for a few times, he found that his appearance was not particularly prominent. Wu Guangyao felt a little relaxed in disappointment, and his heart was a little complicated; as a person of later generations, he had heard the legend of the secretary for a long time, and if he said that he had no idea, he must not be a man However, Wu Guangyao didn't want to be too obsessed with this way, so seeing Gao Yue's appearance, he felt a little more relaxed.

Although Wu Guangyao didn't have a full-time secretary, Wu Guangyao was also served by a part-time secretary when he came to the office. Serving tea, delivering documents, and ordering errands were all their jobs.

It is very rare to arrange a female staff member for myself this time. After all, there are still very few women in this era with higher education!

As for why Wu Guangyao knew that Gao Yue had a higher education, it was because he was very confident. Yang Kang would never arrange for him a part-time secretary with no education.

Wu Guangyao likes to reuse people with diplomas, and he is also well-known in Hong Kong Island. These confidantes of his have no reason to understand!

It's a pity that Gao Yue's looks are almost the same, which makes Wu Guangyao less expected.

When Wu Guangyao saw Lin Yueru back then, he made up his mind to marry her!

Those who are beautiful, have a good family background, and can be seen to have received Western-style higher education are basically rare.

"Gao Yue, where are you from, and what is your level of education?" Wu Guangyao asked casually.

"Boss, I'm from Shaoxing, Zhejiang, and graduated from Hong Kong Island Chinese University." Gao Yue replied quickly.

"Well, yes, we are still fellow villagers! It is not easy for girls to receive such a high education, so you have to work hard, and you may be able to rise to the top in the future and become a strong woman in the newspaper industry. The head of the Sing Tao Daily next door , isn’t it a woman!”

Wu Guangyao's words made Gao Yue very excited. This boss really likes people with diplomas like the one in the legend.

"Yes, I will work hard!" Gao Yue said vowedly.

After a while, Shen Baoxing and Yang Kang came to Wu Guangyao's office and reported the situation.

"Oriental Daily" has developed rapidly overseas this year, and its sales in Sing Tao, Taiwan Island, Thailand, Malay and other places have grown rapidly, and it has a tendency to become the first newspaper for Chinese people.

The reason is that Dongfang News has put a lot of effort into the business content, and many business leaders are willing to accept interviews from Dongfang News, more or less because of Wu Guangyao's face;

There is also the Oriental News Agency, which has invested a lot of money to establish a news agency, and is equipped with a lot of teletype printers. It is the fastest to grab news, so that people can read the latest news. In this respect, no Chinese newspaper can compare.

"How's the situation at Ming Pao?"

"Well, it's very good and it's developing very fast. With the serialization of Liang Yusheng and Jin Yong, "Ming Pao" is very popular in Asia."

Wu Guangyao nodded, and then asked about the status of the publishing house.

Dongfang Newspaper is already on the way to media development, and publishing a newspaper is naturally indispensable!

Seeing that the development of Oriental News was very stable, Wu Guangyao decided to add some tasks to Yang Kang and Shen Baoxing.

"I see that you are a bit free recently, and I plan to add some tasks to you!" Wu Guangyao said to his two generals with a sly face.

When Shen Baoxing and Yang Kang heard that the boss was saying that they were lazy, they protested;

Shen Baoxing even teased himself, saying that he was almost too thin to be human, which made Wu Guangyao almost go berserk!

"Hire people if you feel tired, and lower your authority; this is not only trusting your colleagues, but also liberating yourself, so that you have more energy to deal with the overall situation."

Wu Guangyao went on to say: "Dongfang Newspaper is preparing another magazine. It will be published once a week, called "Economic Weekly", which will compete with the American "Fortune" and "Business Weekly". I will assign tasks at any time, and if I can’t finish them, the two of you will come and bring me tea and water.”

"It's done, how can we not finish such a good thing!" Shen Baoxing became happy when he heard that a new product was about to be released.

This is the benefit of the shareholding system, not only working for the boss, but also working for yourself.

After sending the two of them away, Wu Guangyao's mind was running at high speed again, analyzing the next step of Dongfang Newspaper.

It is obviously too early to start a TV station. Wu Guangyao did not consider this issue until at least the early 1960s.

In 1957, Li's voice established "Lide's Yingsheng" in Hong Kong Island and officially launched TV services. This is the first TV station in Hong Kong Island and the Far East. At the beginning of its establishment, "Li's Yingsheng" only had an English channel with black and white pictures, which was broadcast for four hours a day. In the early days of the channel’s establishment, the channel provided services on a fee-based basis, charging each user a monthly fee of HK$25, which was quite expensive at the time and unaffordable for ordinary citizens. There were only 640 users. This year, Li Yingsheng broadcast the first live TV series "Happy Family" in the history of Hong Kong TV for the first time.

In 1967, there were as many as 6,000 users of Lai Yingying. In September of this year, wireless TV (hereinafter referred to as tvb or wireless) started broadcasting. TVB viewing is completely free, wireless reception, and there are many (not all) programs in color . However, Li Yingsheng still had black-and-white images, and many viewers began to switch to watching TVB. Li Yingsheng was affected by the impact and lost customers.

In the end, Wu Guangyao shook off the thoughts in his head, and Dongfang News should develop with paper media!

No matter what it is, it is not a good thing if it is too advanced!

Regardless of whether technology can support this matter, even the public and audience will not support things that are too advanced!
