Reborn Capital Madman

In the midst of my busy schedule, the time came unknowingly to January 1976, which was also the coldest time of the year in the northern hemisphere.

After Gao Xian accidentally entered this era, he felt that Xiangjiang, a tropical city, was a bit cold every winter. This winter set a record again. An extremely strong cold wave moved southward and swept across Xiangjiang. The temperature in the urban area in the early morning was only

The temperature was 4.3 degrees above zero, the lowest temperature since the establishment of the Hong Kong Observatory in 1883; Tai Mo Shan, the highest geographical point in Hong Kong, plummeted to minus 4 degrees; snow fell in widespread areas in the New Territories; the vegetation on the mountain was large

The area is icy or frosty.

What do these data specifically indicate? According to Hong Kong media reports, a man in his fifties froze to death in the wooden house area of ​​Chai Wan Road, Hong Kong Island at low temperatures.

To put it more vividly, it is difficult for people in Xiangjiang to just wear a coat to survive the winter. At least they need a sweater with good thermal insulation quality to keep out the cold.

As a way to build momentum before taking up the post of Chairman of the Tung Wah Group of Hospitals, Gao Xian took time out of his busy schedule to participate in a charity event to distribute supplies to needy people in the wooden house area.

Turning around, Gao Xian went to the magnificent Hilton Hotel to meet with overseas business people who came to inspect Gao Xian Industrial Village.

This is the real society. Under the feasting and feasting, there is always hunger and cold, and development is inseparable from fertilizer and fuel.

This time Hilton Hotel took over the large-scale business hospitality business from Gao Xian. There is a significant difference from the past, that is, it has become a member of Gao's family.

For the hotel industry, it is a very common operating model to separate the property where the hotel is located from the daily management team of the hotel. This is the case for the Xiangjiang Hilton Hotel located in the Central Financial District, which covers an area of ​​approximately 39,000 square feet.

The number of rooms has reached 800 and is owned by Yonggao Company. As for the daily management of the hotel, Yonggao Company has entrusted it to Hilton, a world-renowned hotel brand.

Therefore, when Nikosung came to Xiangjiang to attend the opening ceremony of the New China People's Bank of China, he joked that after buying the Hilton Hotel, Gao Xian asked his subordinates to find the negotiating party, Yonggao Company.

In 1969, when Gao Xian came to this era, the Hong Kong stock market was recovering. Yonggao Company, controlled by US capital, became one of the five listed companies that year and became a constituent stock of the Hang Seng Index.

However, when Hong Kong's stock market frenzy reached its craziest peak in 1972 in the early 1970s, Yongko Company clearly fell behind compared with other companies whose stock prices hit new highs. As a result, it was kicked out of the Hang Seng Index.

, the vacant position was given to Nanlian Industrial founded by An Zijie and Zhou Wenxuan.

Of course, the assets of Yongko Company are not only the Hilton Hotel in Hong Kong Central District, but also the Hyatt Regency Hotel in Bali, Indonesia, with 400 rooms.

However, after the Hong Kong stock market frenzy subsided in the early 1970s and the ensuing overall economic downturn triggered by the world oil crisis, Yonggao Company's poor performance made the board of directors very dissatisfied.

This phenomenon shows that even though U.S. capital may seem powerful, sometimes it cannot help but adapt to the environment.

As soon as Gao Yi came into contact with Yonggao Company, Chase Bank, the holder of Yonggao Company's shares, expressed its willingness to see success. Even David Rockefeller specially gave Gao Xian a suggestion: Don't just acquire Hilton hotels.

, just pack up the entire Yonggao company and take it away.

At that time, Gao Xian had an indifferent attitude and casually asked about the price, which was about HK$130 million, and Chase Bank was willing to provide various conveniences.

In fact, in this global economic recession triggered by the world oil crisis, Chase Bank was not able to escape. The report data was so ugly that even David Rockefeller, who had pushed Chase Bank's reach into the Soviet Union and China, could not escape.

Do not conduct reviews as chairman of the board of directors.

Therefore, Chase Bank is now unwilling to let go of any opportunity to revitalize its assets. What's more, David Rockefeller is well aware of Gao Xian's management capabilities.

Gao Xian, who was aware of the mystery involved, readily agreed, which was equivalent to solving the embarrassing situation of the American capital being acclimatized, and at the same time strengthening its relationship with the American capital to check and balance the pressure put on him by the British capital.

After taking over the Hilton Hotel in a discreet manner, Gao Xian did not make any major changes. He still let Hilton manage the daily operations of the hotel. After all, the international brand has a good reputation. As for how to improve it to cope with the cultural changes of Yihe,

The competition between China Hotel and the Kadoorie family’s Peninsula Hotel should be gradual.

With a top hospitality venue like the Hilton Hotel in Xiangjiang, Gaoxian naturally takes more care of its business. Business people from all over the world attracted by the opening of Gaoxian Industrial Village are arranged to stay here.

Ko Sin Industrial Estate is located on reclaimed land to the east of Tai Po New Town in the New Territories, covering an area of ​​75 hectares. According to Ko Sin, the most popular projects are those involving new or improved products or services.

Involving new or improved technologies, mainly using local materials and human resources for high value-added, related to products or services urgently needed by local industries, making significant contributions to Xiangjiang's export business, etc.

At this time, the person Gao Xian met was Feijin, who had left Intel to start Zilog on his own, which undoubtedly met the needs of Gao Xian Industrial Village.

In this era, for military support purposes, the United States has a mandatory requirement for "secondary suppliers."

For example, Intel's microprocessor Intel 8080 has been licensed to AMD to manufacture compatible products, and the same is true for the eight-bit microprocessor z80 developed by Fei Jin. Several licenses have been issued, including one company.

Gao Xian's meaning is very simple. Since he wants to license it to outside parties, he should also build one in Xiangjiang. Anyway, he uses this kind of CPU in many places.

"The z80 is compatible with the Intel 8080 instruction set and has more powerful functions, but manufacturing costs are always a problem." Gao Xian said to Feijin: "The conditions in Xiangjiang are good, especially friendly financial support, which should help the z80 strengthen market competition.

ability."

Fei Jin nodded excitedly, "As soon as I arrived in Xiangjiang, I fell in love with this city. There are so many delicious foods!"

Gao Xian was amused. Just as he was about to say something more, Zhou Chengchang came over and whispered: "The second lady is in the next room if she has something urgent to ask you."

Gao Xian raised his eyebrows, nodded slightly, and after telling Fei Jin to enjoy the delicious food in Xiangjiang, he got up and went to see Liang Xin, "What are you so anxious about?"

Liang Xin glanced around to make sure there was no one waiting, and then whispered: "I just got the news that Duke Zhou has passed away."

"I'm so busy!" Gao Xian put his hand on his forehead and muttered in his heart, "What should happen will continue to happen. China will inevitably fall apart this year."
