I Want To Be a Rich Man on Hong Kong Island

Chapter 393 [Star Island Investment Plan - Commercial Complex and Hotel]

Wu Guangyao suffered from insomnia. The hotel had no air conditioner, only electric fans. In addition, Singapore is a tropical country in Southeast Asia, and the temperature is much higher than Hong Kong Island.

"It's easy to go from frugal to extravagant, but hard to go from extravagant to frugal!"

Wu Guangyao couldn't help sighing, when Wu Guangyao came to Xingdao for business trips a few years ago, the living environment was worse than today's. At that time, he didn't feel this way, and he woke up naturally after sleeping.

But this time when I came to Xingdao, I actually felt a little uncomfortable!

It seems that it is a good choice to bring Cheung Kong and Shining Star Hotel Management Company to investigate;

How comfortable it is to have your own hotel to live in in the future.

The project that Changjiang Industrial came to inspect was naturally not a commercial residence;

In Singapore, real estate developers have to die when they develop commercial residences!

Singaporean Prime Minister *** believes in the Confucianism that "a person without property must have perseverance". He believes that only when families in Singapore own their own houses, the people will resolutely defend their interests in the face of foreign enemies.

Therefore, since 1963, the Singapore government has implemented the "Home Ownership Scheme", and the government has launched HDB flats at prices below the market for the public to purchase.

Therefore, if the real estate dares to develop a residence, it is not a loss because it has no underwear!

The project that Changjiang Industrial came to inspect is naturally a commercial complex project;

The Yangtze River commercial complex project developed this time does not include hotel projects;

The hotel project is independently developed by Shining Star Hotel Management Company;

But the two projects will choose to move closer together, forming an alliance.

After washing up, I walked out of the room, and soon the waiter of the hotel directed everyone to the restaurant for breakfast.

And the hotel also has a large number of official staff from Singapore. I think they didn't even dare to sleep last night, because this business team is so important to Singapore.

Not only economic influence, but also political influence, are what Singapore urgently needs.

"Brother Dong, President Lin, father-in-law...how did you sleep last night?" Wu Guangyao came to the hall and greeted.

"Haha, it seems that Guangyao didn't sleep well yesterday, tsk tsk, it seems that you have lacked the spirit of hard work these past few years." The only one who can talk to Wu Guangyao like this is Dong Yunhao.

There was no way, Dong Yunhao was half Wu Guangyao's master when he was engaged in shipping, so Wu Guangyao still respected him all these years.

"That's not true, it's just that I suddenly feel a little uncomfortable coming to the tropical rainforest." Wu Guangyao quibbled.

The group sat down and had breakfast.

It can be seen that the hotel is very attentive, both Western food and Chinese food.

After breakfast and dinner, everyone, under the leadership of Singapore official staff, drove to the Singapore government agency to conduct a preliminary investment understanding meeting.

It took less than five minutes by car to arrive at the seat of the Singapore government, and everyone followed the staff to a large conference room.

"Mr. Wu, how was your rest last night?" Wu Guangyao greeted him and said enthusiastically.

"Well, very good! The staff is very enthusiastic, the service is very thoughtful, and the hotel is very well prepared." Wu Guangyao praised casually.

"That's good! Let's sit down and talk!"

The meeting room is very large, after all, it is a meeting room of a country, and fifty or sixty people from both sides sat together.

***First, Yitong promised to the business delegation to ensure that everyone can enjoy various preferential policies for foreign investment;

Then he said: "We are envious of the speed of economic development of Hong Kong Island in recent years. We can do what the British Hong Kong government can do, and we can do it better than them. Please rest assured to invest. We are an open As a free sovereign country, the promises made are the credibility of a country, and we will never joke about our credibility."

When the businessmen heard this, they felt that the Singapore government was easy to deal with, and the investment environment in Singapore was good.

Wu Guangyao was the first to ask: "Premier Lee, to what extent has your infrastructure construction in the Jurong Industrial Zone been completed?"

This sentence is more concerned by the bosses of textiles, garments, toys, plastics, etc., so everyone looked at the *** and waited for an answer.

*** replied: "The construction of factories, ports, docks, railways, highways, electricity, water supply and other infrastructure in the park can temporarily meet everyone's needs, but it cannot be said that all of them will be completed. All of them will be completed in 1968. If you want to invest there, you can make preparations there now, and we will try our best to ensure everyone's needs."

Wu Guangyao nodded and said, "Two years is just the right time to prepare for the factory!"

Next, it is the communication between the government and government personnel, and the company leaders and bosses.

Cheung Kong Industrial Shi Jun took the lead and said: "Prime Minister Li, we, Cheung Kong and Shining Star Hotel Management, want to build a large-scale commercial complex near Orchard Road in Singapore, a commercial circle integrating office buildings, hotels, and shopping centers. The total investment is estimated to be 60 million US dollars, but it needs to occupy an area of ​​220 mu. I wonder if the Singapore government can solve this problem?"

*** I was stunned by this project. It was the first time I talked about it today, and it turned out to be such a big project.

60 million US dollars, this is a project that Singapore can't even imagine;

Even those multinational companies are not so generous in investment!

No, many multinational companies came here today, such as Lenovo Electronics, Shining Star Hotel Management, Baiyou Group, and Oriental Media. Although Cheung Kong is not a multinational company, its strength is not weak.

*** said cautiously: "It shouldn't be a big problem, but I want to ask, how did you plan the 220 mu of land?"

It is impossible for Singapore to refuse this project, but the land is too large, so you must ask about the plan!

Charles, Managing Director of Shining Star Hotel, said: "Our Shangri-La Hotel is going to build the hotel in 15 acres of lush botanical gardens, making it a world-class hotel and providing a good environment for people who come to Singapore for business. The built Shangri-La Hotel is expected to have more than 700 luxurious guest rooms and suites, which are distributed in three wings with different styles: the modern tower wing, the tropical garden wing, and the distinguished canyon wing. The hotel also provides Resident guests are provided with hotel-serviced apartments, and Shangri-La Hotel also provides 55 sets of luxury apartments in the style of four-storey villas for long-term renting by guests, and provides a series of supporting services and facilities.”

"Of course, we expect the entire hotel to be completed in stages, and the total construction period is expected to be completed in 10 years."

"After the completion, I believe that the Shangri-La Hotel will make a certain contribution to Singapore's economy!"

Charles' plan was obviously authorized by Wu Guangyao. After all, Singapore is poor and white at this time, so who would dare to invest in such a large hotel.

And the reason why Wu Guangyao insisted on such a large land was to take advantage of Singapore's cheapness and acquire a larger land earlier, so as to avoid having to re-acquire land when the hotel expands in the future;

The development can be developed slowly, it is said that the development will be completed in ten years, but it is also possible to build three wings with different styles within ten years;

It is not impossible to keep those villa hotels built in the late 1970s or 1980s.

Officials of the Singapore government were frightened by Charles' plan. This is treating Singapore like the United States!

Shi Jun went on to say: "The commercial complex developed by Cheung Kong is composed of two large office buildings, a super shopping center, and a convention and exhibition center, a total of four buildings. After completion, it will make a certain contribution to Singapore's tourism, industrial products, etc. .”

Because this is a preliminary negotiation, Singaporean government officials discussed with each other.

Three minutes later, *** said: "We in Singapore have no reason to refuse this project. We can provide 220 acres of land around Orchard Road, and we are also willing to provide certain loans for the two companies."

In fact, Wu Guangyao does not need loans from Singapore, his own China Everbright Bank can provide loans to Cheung Kong and Shining Star Hotel Management.

Anyway, there is no banking law in Hong Kong, and there was no problem with doing this before the 1980s.

However, since *** proposed it, it is obvious that he also wants this project to drive Singapore's financial industry.

There is no problem with this, anyway, Wu Guangyao has the final say on how much to borrow.

Wu Guangyao said: "Okay, I didn't expect the initial negotiation of our first project to go so smoothly, which made a good start for this business delegation. I have always been a staunch supporter of Singapore. Lost to the existence of Hong Kong Island."

The officials in Singapore looked at each other in blank dismay, how could this man be more optimistic than anyone else!

Of course, no one dares to underestimate Goh Kuan Yew. He is a guest of the leaders of various countries, and his business kingdom is huge. This is the friend Singapore needs most.
