Chapter 166: Suning, a Little Famous

After World War II, almost all of Germany's outstanding scientists were divided up by the United States and the Soviet Union, but there were still many patriots who were unwilling to leave their homeland, and there were also many "small shrimps" who were not favored by the giants of the United States and the Soviet Union.

Ever since Suning took over Hans' shipping company and changed its name to Suning Aid, many Germans who knew the news were very moved.

Thanks to Hans and Heidi's deliberate small-scale dissemination, the small Su's Aid Shipping Company is still somewhat famous in Germany today.

When Heidi followed Suning's instructions and began to contact talents in the German electronics industry, many frustrated practitioners were tempted.

Especially when I heard that the boss of Su Group is a friendly person towards Germany, it became a plus point.

When Suning heard Heidi's report that more than 20 German electronics professionals would fly to Hong Kong, he was surprised and immediately arranged a building to accommodate these talents.

Suning is very proud that Sony Electronics, which it founded, has gathered so many talents from the very beginning.

“Boss, this is Mr. Karl, a graduate of the Technical University of Munich.

He is the leader of this group of German experts."

"Hello, Mr. Carl! Welcome to Sony Electronics!"

“Hello, boss!
We heard about you in Germany!
Thank you for treating us Germans well in Hong Kong!"

After hearing what Karl said, Suning showed a puzzled expression, and then looked at Heidi beside him.

Seeing Suning's confusion, Heidi quickly explained, "Boss, this is what happened!
After Hans returned to Germany, he heard that his boss had changed the name of the shipping company to Su's Aid and thought that his boss liked Germans very much.

This preferential treatment from the boss has also touched many people in Germany.

So when they heard the boss needed to recruit people in the electronics industry, many people volunteered to apply.”

"Oh, I see!

Mr. Carl, we are all family from now on, so there is no need to be polite!

Fight for our ideals!"

"Yes! Boss! Let's fight for our respective ideals!"

“Mr. Carl, Heidi and I went to Japan some time ago.

I'm suddenly very optimistic about transistor technology. Can you develop a transistor radio first? "

"Yeah! I know what the boss means!

Although transistor technology is not favored by the industry at present, it is not a very difficult technology.

It was also easy to develop a transistor radio.

Even if transistor technology proves to have no future, our company won’t suffer much loss.”

"Haha, that's good!
Mr. Carl, if you need anything in your life or work, just tell me directly!

I will help you solve it.”

With the help of professionals, Suning finally felt relieved and his attention was no longer focused on Japan's Masaru Ibuka and Akio Morita.

Of course, if Sony could really bring Ibuka Masaru and Morita Akio under its wing, it would save itself a lot of trouble. If it couldn't bring them under its wing, it would just keep them around. I believe Sony would still be a giant in the electronics industry.

Suning already owned Su's Real Estate, Su's Training School, and Su's Aide Shipping Company, as well as the newly established Su's Security Company and Su's Sony Electronics. Therefore, they were in urgent need of building their own corporate building. They were then planning to find a suitable plot of land to construct their own Su's Building, which would serve as the headquarters for their Su Group.

I heard that there is a piece of land being auctioned recently, which is the land next to the Bank of China Building, which was once part of the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Center.

Suning remembers that when the land of Bank of China was auctioned in 1947, it cost more than 3 million Hong Kong dollars. Now it is 1953, seven years have passed, and the land price has increased a lot.

Many real estate giants appeared at the auction, and the competition for this prime piece of land was very fierce.

The reserve price was only HK$2 million. After a fierce competition, Suning finally bought it for HK$4.8 million.

The real estate giants were also very surprised by Suning's lavish spending. They have been watching this up-and-coming company, Su's Real Estate, from the sidelines.

They are full of jealousy and envy because Su's Real Estate has been making big moves since its establishment. Today, they suddenly come to compete with them for an important plot of land, which also means that Su's Real Estate has begun to move into the building project.

At this time, Edward, the CEO of Swire Properties, who had met Suning once before, walked over with a smile on his face and shook hands with Suning.

"Mr. Su, congratulations! You've won such a precious piece of land!"

"Haha, I was able to get this piece of land as I wished, also because of the humility of all the bosses!"

"Mr. Su, you are now one of the bigwigs in the Hong Kong real estate industry.

In Hong Kong, Su's Real Estate is very powerful!"

"Mr. Edward, these are just small fights. There is still a big gap between me and the real bosses like you!"

"Mr. Su, are there any new projects coming up?
Do we need to cooperate with Landmark?”

"Thank you for your concern, Mr. Edward.

Right now, Su's Real Estate only wants to quickly build this plot of land into the Su's Building, and has no plans for other projects at the moment."

"Oh? How big is Mr. Su planning to build?"

"Huh? It has to be at least the twenty-second floor!

The specific scale needs to be discussed again.”

"Yes! If you need our help, Mr. Su, please feel free to ask."

"Haha, definitely!"

Now Suning has separated the security company and established Su's Security Company, which has more than 600 security personnel after recruitment and training.

The 600 security personnel are divided into different levels. The first level consists of 100 people who serve as personal bodyguards for important personnel of the Su Group. They not only know how to drive various types of vehicles, but also have excellent skills. Therefore, Suning plans to open its security business to other Hong Kong tycoons.

The second level consists of 200 people, who are assigned to work as security guards in various Su companies to maintain normal order in the companies.

The third level has more than 300 people, who are arranged by the security company to work as security guards in several communities under the name of Su's real estate. After obtaining the consent of the owners, a certain fee will be charged, which is somewhat similar to the property security service in later generations.

The current chaos in Hong Kong is obvious to all, so as soon as Su's Security Company launched its community security business, it was welcomed by community owners.

The safe and reliable living environment makes the community owners very satisfied. When other communities see that Su Real Estate has such an operation, they follow suit and go to Su Security Company to hire security guards.

The popularity of the security business caught Suning by surprise. It did not expect that the security business, which mainly serves its own company and family, would be the most popular among Hong Kong residents.
