Hong Kong Island: From a small stall to a global supplier

Chapter 239: A Gap of Million! ?
1500 million, just consider it as a bargaining acquisition. It’s just 200 million US dollars. Wang Yaotang, who just made a fortune in Marseille, doesn’t care much.

"What?" The bespectacled boy stared at her with wide eyes, his face full of shock. "Are you crazy?"

"What's wrong?" Wang Yaotang was a little puzzled.

"Oh my God, Brother Yao, do you think you are very rich?" The bespectacled boy spread his hands.

Wang Yaotang had a bad feeling and asked cautiously, "No money?"

"Do you have money?"

"No way? I just made 500 million dollars in Marseilles from playing...ah!" Wang Yaotang's voice became louder and louder, and he instantly felt more confident. "That's more than 3800 million!"

"And then?" Four Eyes said coldly, "The original payment of 300 million US dollars was made by mobilizing all the working capital of several companies. The society still owes the money for 2 months, which is 800 million. If you want to continue the red wine business, you still have to invest this money!"

"Prince Rong has given up his Jordan site, but the shares can be purchased for free, more than 1000 million."

"Aji is also going to buy the places he snatched from the Quan and Dong companies. There are more than 20 places. Even though 8 of them are restaurants, they all come with property. They are popular shops in Yau Ma Tei. The land is more than 800 square feet, and the property area is more than 2400 square feet. Do you want them?"

"I choose. Why didn't you tell me before?"

Four Eyes said, "I didn't know before. Shuangying and Niuyuqing were wanted and fled. Many leaders of the sub-gangs were arrested. The police have been cracking down on them. The leaders of the gangs are busy with their own affairs. The limelight has just passed. Now there is no new leader. This has given some people an opportunity. They want to take the opportunity to sell the gang's assets."

"Quan Dong has such a fortune?" Wang Yaotang was surprised.

"I heard from some old people that Yau Ma Tei and Jordan were all sandy beaches in the past. This area was created by private reclamation. At that time, the British government mainly developed Hong Kong Island. Kowloon was inhabited by farmers, fishermen, and craftsmen, as well as boatmen and dock workers who made a living in Kowloon Wharf. At that time, some communities had no good places to build houses, so they brought sand from the mines to fill the sandy beaches and built their own houses. Later, this area gradually developed."

“So, it’s not uncommon for associations like Quan and Dong, which were originally founded by vegetable vendors and dock workers, to have some businesses here.”

"Ha, you're begging for food with a golden bowl." Wang Yaotang cursed with a smile.

"It's not hard to understand. What's the use of having properties? Unless you sell them, how much can you get from rent alone? What's more, the people in the gang rent the properties of the society themselves, and the rent is even lower. Otherwise, how can you make money?" Four Eyes said, "It's impossible to sell it. Neither the uncle of the society nor the big bottom will agree. That's the only way. Everyone knows that real estate maintains its value, but look at which society in Hong Kong Island will buy properties. It's better to divide the money than to give it to the society to buy properties."

"That's true. Ji Gudong keeps shouting about the Shengyi Centennial Society, but I haven't seen how much property he has." Wang Yaotang smacked his lips. In the end, he only cared about himself.

"So, do you want it?"

"Of course I want it. Haha. If there is no internal strife between the Quan and Dong families, it is impossible to get this kind of prosperous shop." Wang Yaotang laughed. The reclamation of West Kowloon has only started a few years ago. It will be complete only after Yau Tsim Mong is completed. By then...

Thinking about it, Wang Yaotang frowned and found that things were not simple.

Later, he went to Hong Kong Island and found that there were no independent small buildings in the Yau Tsim Mong area. They were either ten-story buildings or high-rise buildings.

"What's wrong?" Seeing Wang Yaotang in a daze, Four Eyes asked.

"How many of them have property management?"

"8?"

"how much is it?"

"Those people are in a hurry to sell it. It's not very expensive now. One foot is 1500, the lowest is 300 million, and the highest is just over 400. What's wrong with that?"

"Are there any other similar ones near these? Can we buy them or exchange them for other places? Even if we have to compensate for the price difference?"

"What are you going to do?" Four Eyes had a bad feeling in his heart. Brother Yao was good in everything except that he always had some messy ideas and spent a lot of money...

"Build a building. It will occupy about 800 square feet. Each floor can hold three houses of 300 square feet each. It will be very valuable in the future."

The bespectacled man sighed and took off his glasses. "Do you think you are rich?"

Wang Yaotang: “…”

"Have you forgotten that you acquired more than 3000 feet of land in Haojing and built a 10-story building." The bespectacled man looked tired.

"Ah?!" Wang Yaotang blinked and suddenly remembered.

"It's finished. It's time to pay. 1000 million."

"I'll choose!" Wang Yaotang took a breath, "Don't panic, don't panic."

"Of course I'm not panicking." Four-eyed guy snorted.

"How much money do I have left?"

"Not much. After filling the previous hole, there is only 2000 million in cash available."

"How much does Prince Rong want?"

"1200."

"Where is the Yau Ma Tei Church?"

"If you don't buy the properties, it will be around 600 million. The two digits are very confusing. Now the son sells the father's land without any regrets." Wang Yaotang scratched his head. This is 1800 million. "How much will it cost to buy all 8 properties?"

"About 2800 million."

Taking another deep breath, Wang Yaotang wiped his mouth and said, "Give Da Tou Bo 1500 million, buy real estate for 2800 million, settle accounts with Haojiang for 1000 million, and cooperate with Lu Kebang to purchase red wine for 2000 million..."

"What the hell, a gap of more than 7000 million?!"

"No, where's the fucking money I made?"

"They were all blown away by the damn wind!"

"The more money someone makes, the bigger the gap becomes!"

"What a great loser!"

"You're asking me?" Four Eyes said unhappily, "You asked Wei Tao to look for a villa in Kadoorie. He asked for a 3000-square-foot villa for himself and a 10000-square-foot villa for a small police station. If you buy it, it will cost at least 2000 million."

"One hundred million!?" Wang Yaotang's voice suddenly rose.

"Damn it, what should I do? Let's rob a bank!"

"The bank doesn't have that much money!"

"Kadoorie family, strong degreasing, kidnap him!"

"Brother Yao, be realistic, OK?"

"Then what do you say we should do?" Wang Yaotang spread his hands and gave up struggling.

"First, settle the bill with Haojing, and then take out a loan for the building. At least 1500 million can be borrowed, which will give us an extra 500 million in working capital. We can discuss the purchase of alcoholic beverages with other shareholders and treat it as a unified purchase. It won't be a problem to transfer funds." These are the coping methods that Siyanzai had thought of long ago. "For the property in Yau Ma Tei, my idea is to buy it directly with a loan. They are in a hurry for cash, and the price is much lower than the market price. With the more than 700 million in hand, it should be enough."

"Please stop buying houses at Kadoorie for now. I just didn't expect you to acquire Hequanxing. There is no way I can solve the gap of 1500 million for now."

"I see..." Wang Yaotang grabbed a handful of hair, "Each of you pick a property in Yau Ma Tei, plus Jiahui's, well, I'll buy another one for my younger sister, and use some of our savings. If it's not enough, you can take out a loan. Anyway, you don't have anywhere to invest your money for the time being, so buy this and wait for it to appreciate in value, it's very stable."

"Well, after you buy it, you can get a loan and lend it to me. It will be enough to give Da Tou Bo 1500 million. This way, the Qingshui Bay Hall can be considered as a joint investment. We will give 1% of the income to the association, and the rest will be shared among us."

"He Quanxing itself does not have the strength, but in fact the Qingshui Bay area has great development potential. Budai Ao can not only be used as a fishing port, but the tens of thousands of square meters of water surface can also be used for marine aquaculture. ..."

“Stop, stop, stop.” Four Eyes made a pause gesture. “Brother Yao, please, there are already many industries spending money, stop digging holes that can’t be filled!”

Wang Yaotang's expression froze. "Ahem, actually, we have our own factory's buoys now. After we turn them into aquaculture farms, we can rent them out to others. We can just collect the rent."

"Let's talk about it later. Let's get over the difficulties first." The bespectacled boy shook his head frantically. "You still have a lot of things to do today. You said before that you would take Olivier to see a movie and show him the products of Hongdou Clothing. It's afternoon now. When are you going to go?"

"Also, yesterday I met with the HR managers of ParknShop and Wellcome, offering each of them 5 yuan. I got the files of their internal employees. They need to recruit people quickly. Yaoxing can't wait any longer."

It is actually very simple to obtain internal employee information.

Although both companies have big bosses behind them, Cucumber is not equal to Hutchison Whampoa, ParknShop, or a human resources manager...

Even if he was beaten severely and his arm was broken, the best a human resources manager could do was to ask the company's legal department to help send the attacker to jail for six months. More impossible, because they couldn't afford the lawyer's fees...

So, with 5 on one side and threats from the community on the other, of course the choice is to sell out company information!
"Also, we need to provide an office area to form the management team of Yaoxing. I calculated that to manage more than 100 stores, the headquarters must have at least 40 people, and the office area must be around 2000 square feet. We also need to rent a warehouse. Do you think we should find a place, or let the people we poached find one themselves?"

"So many people." Wang Yaotang laughed. He was only concerned with killing but not burying them. He did not consider any follow-up issues at all.

"Of course. I calculated that after setting up the company, the management cost will increase fourfold!"

"So many?" Wang Yaotang was stunned. "How come?"

"Brother, originally a store only needs the boss and two salesmen, but you have set up a company, with a general manager and six deputy managers in charge of sales, publicity, logistics, warehouse, personnel, and finances. Including the people working below, their salaries are not comparable to those of the salesmen. Add in the rent for the office area and warehouse, and it will definitely be four times as much."

"I lost! Can I earn more money back?"

"You ask me." The bespectacled boy spread his hands, "And..."

“Stop talking, I’ll call you Big Brother, okay?” Wang Yaotang covered his head and looked like he was going to explode. “Damn it, when I had no money I was idle as a dog, and when I had money I was busy as a dog. It’s worse than having no money at all!”

"I'll go make some money first." Wang Yaotang stood up and walked away. When he reached the door, he stopped, turned around, and grinned. "I'll leave the question of spending money to you. You can decide who to hire. The conditions are still the same. A man in his 30s with parents and children to support. Just tell me when you've found someone. Four-eyed boy, you're already a mature business tycoon. You need to learn to make your own decisions."

"That's it, bye!"

"Hey hey——"

"Bang!" The door closed, Wang Yaotang quickened his pace, and started jogging, "Aze, hurry up."

"Pick!" The bespectacled boy shook his head, took off his glasses and wiped them, and slowly the smile on his face grew bigger and bigger, "Am I already a mature business tycoon?"

"Hey Hey……"
