Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    If you are successful, you can help the world; if you are poor, you can only take care of yourself.  Although Meng Youtian did not have the ability to help the world, he was not so poor that he had to live alone.  People say that poverty breeds treachery, while wealth breeds conscience. Although this cannot be generalized, it is true that when people become rich, especially rich men like Meng Youtian, they cherish feathers even more.

    ????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? off out were was was and the first or second richest person in the family is that they¡¯re the richest people is that they want to be the first or second richest man is that they want to be the first or second richest man is to make money ¡ª Meng Youtian pays more attention to getting along with his family, focusing on his children¡¯s growth, and he also begins to pay attention to public welfare undertakings.

    After nearly ten years of hard work, we have accumulated not only wealth, but also talents.  He already has a think tank under him composed of highly educated, capable, and visionary talents. There is no need to do many things personally. As long as he puts forward an idea, someone will naturally help him improve it and plan for him.

    Great Wall Industrial is on the right track, and the Hong Kong government has also abolished building height restrictions. The company only needs to move forward along the established development direction; Master Meng Food Co., Ltd. has also taken steps towards product diversification, and new products will be launched soon.  .

    Although he was only in his thirties, Meng Youtian was leisurely and just felt this way.  But this feeling made Meng Youtian a little uncomfortable, and he began to find work for himself.  Of course, it is not a big effort, but it is to pay attention to current affairs news and submit articles to newspapers under pseudonyms from time to time.

    When Meng Youtian truly placed himself in that turbulent and chaotic era, instead of indifference with a superior and detached gaze, he found that it was quite interesting to explore the laws and reasons.  Like the economic crisis, how it broke out.  What are the signs before an outbreak, and what are the phenomena during an outbreak.  How did it end?  Is there a fixed cycle, or does it require certain incentives?

    Foreknowledge of history is of course a powerful tool, but once history changes, opportunism is not your real talent after all. Can you, through research and combined with foreknowledge, more accurately grasp the context of economic development and find a more suitable one?  What about the method?

    Get addicted to it.  Meng Youtian seems to have seen a new world. He likes to meet challenges. The ups and downs of Hong Kong's economy make him feel that such research will be of great benefit in the future.

    Of course, his interests are not just economic. He occasionally comments on the current world situation. Gradually, Meng Youtian, whose pseudonym is called Beast, has become somewhat famous in newspapers.  He is a rich man.  Calling a beast again, Meng Youtian is really¡ª¡ª

    Now Meng Youtian¡¯s title is not only the chairman of Great Wall Industrial and Master Meng Company, he is also a director of the Hong Kong Chinese Business Association, a director of the Chinese Manufacturers¡¯ Federation, and an honorary director of the Hong Kong Life Saving Federation.  Some of these titles were flown in by himself, and some were obtained by Meng Youtian himself.

    For example, the Hong Kong Life Saving Society.  It is a non-governmental voluntary organization that aims to reduce accidents caused by water sports.  Meng Youtian is willing to make some contribution to saving lives and healing the wounded, especially since he lives in Repulse Bay, and every year he sees misfortunes happening to people playing on the beach.

    It is of course impossible for Meng Youtian to go into the sea to save people.  All he did was provide money to add equipment to the Life Saving Association, and rebuilt a characteristic building for the Life Saving Association at the southeast end of Repulse Bay.  It can be regarded as the fulfillment of his dream for many years.  Making money no longer arouses his impulse, only milestone achievements can make him feel so satisfied.

    According to the impression of Zhenhai Tower in my memory, the Life Saving Association was built in a Chinese classical style, and the roof was decorated with a flying dragon.  After the Zhenhai Tower was completed, Meng Youtian wanted to build a park around the Zhenhai Tower and publicly raise funds to build a statue.

    One of the landmark buildings in Repulse Bay and one of the must-see tourist attractions. With one of these two, even if the fundraising situation is not good, Meng Youtian is ready to invest in phases to build this park.  In order to serve as a demonstration, he first funded the construction of two statues more than ten meters high - "The Queen of Heaven" and "Guanyin Bodhisattva".

    Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva is probably the most well-known deity among the Chinese, whose mission is to save all sentient beings. The Queen of Heaven, also known as Mazu, is the patron saint who protects sea people and swimmers at sea in all seasons, and is widely worshiped by Hong Kong people.  Two huge statues stood up facing the sea. They were majestic and immediately attracted people's attention and prayers.

    The Qin family has made a lot of money following Meng Youtian over the years. In order to cheer up, they quickly erected a statue of Marshal Zhao Gongming, the God of Wealth in Xuantan, in front of Mazu, attracting many people seeking wealth to come and worship.  Bring good fortune.

    With the demonstrations in the lead and people's prayers and offerings, many wealthy businessmen donated money for the sake of good luck and to expand their reputation. Statues of auspicious figures such as the Sea Dragon King, He Bo, Maitreya Buddha and Fu Lu Shou were constantly erected.  Since then, the park has begun to take shape and its influence has grown.

    In this regard, Meng Youtian did not encounter much resistance at home. Mother Youtian was in favor of building a temple to worship the Bodhisattva. Although it cost a lot of money, it was a blessing.??Great things are good for future generations.  When she had free time, the old lady would be accompanied by someone to pray in front of the Bodhisattva, asking the Bodhisattva to bless her family with safety and good health.

    Making money means spending it, and Meng Youtian doesn¡¯t want to be a miser.  What's more, he made a lot of money during the real estate construction boom. More than ten-story high-rise buildings continued to rise from the ground, and his wealth also followed.

    At this time, in order to maintain their advantages in the international division of labor, Western developed countries have been updating their industrial structures and are committed to developing capital-intensive enterprises such as machinery industry and heavy chemical industry, leaving many gaps in labor-intensive industries.  Hong Kong takes the lead among developing countries and regions in developing export processing industries such as textiles, printing and dyeing, and clothing, and continues to explore European and American markets with its flexible and enterprising business style.  By 1959, the total value of Hong Kong exports exceeded the total value of re-exported goods for the first time.

    Although the economic crisis from 1957 to 1958 caused real estate prices to plummet, with house prices and land prices falling by as much as 70%, Great Wall Industrial overcame this difficulty with a steady development strategy and took advantage of the low price to accumulate a lot of land.  Some companies that frantically bought land and built buildings during the real estate boom were heavily in debt and many went bankrupt.

    ? Survival of the fittest, or reshuffling the cards.  In every impact, those with strength and vision persisted; those with short-sightedness and weak strength fell and became victims of the economic tide.

    In less than a year, Hong Kong's economy has turned around. Coupled with the increase in foreigners and international business organizations coming to Hong Kong, the demand for commercial buildings and residential buildings has increased, stimulating the real estate industry to begin to rebound rapidly.  (To be continued.
