"Three million U.S. dollars? You, Old Zheng, can talk to you. Director Zheng, just give me two million U.S. dollars. As long as it is U.S. dollars, I will do it for two million U.S. dollars. Why should I let Old Zheng earn these three million U.S. dollars? They The company has had foreign food before, but we haven¡¯t had a taste of it yet! They have done all the good things, so what should we do?¡± When the boss of a construction company heard what Lao Zheng said, he immediately retorted. As soon as this guy opened his mouth, other construction company CEOs were not to be outdone and lowered their prices. This one dropped by 50,000, and that one dropped by 100,000. Before Zheng Wenyun could elaborate, the CEOs of these construction companies suddenly reduced the price of the original five million US dollar project. It dropped to $1.5 million. At this time, Mr. Zhao of Jiansan, who was originally excluded, also raised his voice: "Director Zheng, my Director Zheng. My mouth was covered with dog feces just now, so I spoke so stinky. Now I went and washed it several times, and it was finally clean. In order to apologize to you, we will do this project for only one million US dollars, and we won¡¯t pay any extra money. Do you think this will work?¡± Mr. Zhao doesn't care about things that cost him face. Even if he spends one million dollars to build such a building, it will definitely be a loss-making business. But if he gets the US dollars, even if he loses money, someone above him will pay for it. But if he didn't get such a deal, the blame would definitely fall on Mr. Zhao's ass in the end. Who told Mr. Zhao to offend Zheng Wenyun in the first place? At this time, I couldn't care about anything else. I had to pay off my debts first, otherwise it would be unclear who would speak to Jian San in the future. Hearing the quotations from these construction company bosses, Zheng Wenyun, who should have been happy, was not happy at all. If everyone was doing business this way, no amount of money would be enough to compensate! Although he, Zheng Wenyun, had nothing to do with this aspect, he still felt his heart bleed when he thought about the dollars that were wasted away. Mainland state-owned companies basically do business in this way. As long as there is foreign exchange, no one cares about losing money. What was originally the price of cabbage has now become worse than sand. It's no wonder that some small foreign companies like to go to China for shopping, because when buying things here, you don't have to ask for it yourself. They find a group of suppliers. For the sake of US dollars, those suppliers will lower their prices to below cabbage, making a lot of money. Difficult, but it is absolutely doable. "Quiet, everyone, please be quiet. Before I even opened my mouth, you guys have made the quotation useless. Are you doing business? Or are you competing to see who is losing more money? Fortunately, the boss over there has already The price is set, otherwise if you do this business, will your company still be there?" Zheng Wenyun shouted angrily. Hearing Zheng Wenyun¡¯s words, none of the construction company bosses felt embarrassed. Isn¡¯t this how everyone does business now? When doing internal business, they are not happy to be picky, but when doing external business, even if they lose money, they are actually making money. You can't get US dollars anywhere. But now, none of them are short of RMB, but they are short of US dollars. Trading at a loss depends on people coming. Whether it's a loss or not, everyone has a strong balance in their minds. Otherwise, Mr. Zhao, who quoted a price of one million, wouldn't be able to jump off the building? As for the one with a lively mind, Lao Zheng from Thirteenth Construction was the one who heard Zheng Wenyun¡¯s words. Lao Zheng immediately said with an upright face: ¡°I know it¡¯s business, and I didn¡¯t ask those Hong Kong bosses to give us three One million U.S. dollars, the money they gave us for the Thirteenth Construction must be five million U.S. dollars, but wasn¡¯t it your Hong Kong, Macao, and Taiwan Affairs Office who helped pull the strings? ¡°We should not forget the tradition of the well diggers in this matter. I haven¡¯t left it behind. When the money arrives, our 13th Construction will definitely give you the Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan Affairs Office two million US dollars, according to the official price. This way our company will not suffer any loss, and your Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan Affairs Office will not suffer any loss. Good for you and me. Hello everyone, happy to work with you. " "Official price? You, Lao Zheng, can also tell us that your conditions are the same as those of our Fifth Construction. It's no problem if we pay three million dollars. Just leave us a living. "Come on, Director Zheng, do you think this will work?" Seeing that the hall was becoming noisy again because of Lao Zheng's words, Zheng Wenyun's head got bigger. What he just said was in vain. In fact, Zheng Wenyun knows why these bosses are so active. To put it bluntly, it is all caused by foreign exchange. If he puts himself in the position of these people, he may be more straightforward than them, but he has the real right to make the decision on this matter. , in fact, it is not in Zheng Wenyun's hands, so no matter how good the price offered by these people is, Zheng Wenyun has no right to agree. When Zheng Wenyun was surrounded by a group of people in the SAR, Li Mingbao was very relaxed in Hong Kong. As soon as the meeting started yesterday, the most basic things on the United Cinemas side were settled. Li Mingbao did not interfere too much from beginning to end. If there are more, the real big interests are definitely controlled by Li Mingbao. Li Mingbao seized the rights to build more than a dozen new movie theaters in his own hands, and the othersIt's not that people don't understand the benefits of the new cinema. The key is that other people can't afford so much money. Even the Xiang brothers were squeezed out of a lot of money when they entered the industry, and another amount of money was squeezed out of the decoration. Even if they don't have enough money, they still want to start new projects. They don't have such great strength this year. Overseas film studios do have the money, but with a 5% stake, they can¡¯t get that much construction rights, so in the end they only get free money from Li Mingbao. Of course, it is generally not easy to take advantage of it. Even if Li Mingbao made a suitable request at the right time and was satisfied by the right people, there is still a small problem, that is, there is no land. This is no joke. Hong Kong, a place with less land and more people, has never had idle land. Even in a place like Yuen Long, which is only famous for its wife cakes, there is no idle land, let alone the place where Li Mingbao wants to build a movie theater. . The most important thing about a good cinema is not good decoration and advanced equipment. If it only has these two advantages, then whether the cinema can make money is still a question. If a movie theater really wants to make a lot of money, it must be built in a prosperous place? Places like Central are very lively with people coming and going, and the streets never sleep at night. With a good location, even if your decoration is much worse, people will still come to watch the movie. Therefore, Li Mingbao previously said that he would spend 200 million Hong Kong dollars to build a leading cinema. The most important basic requirement for a leading cinema is that it must be in a prosperous area, so that it can meet the status of a leading cinema. Li Mingbao is rich, but his rise has been too short. Regardless of human and material resources, there is a big gap between him and the top wealthy people rooted in Hong Kong. Although Li Mingbao now has a certain degree of ability to compete financially, Just having financial resources is not enough to explain any problems, such as land problems. Like Uncle Liu, who has never developed in the real estate industry, he also has a lot of land in his hands. This is not because he intends to develop in this industry, but to save his own costs as much as possible to avoid increasingly high rents. ¡°But Li Mingbao doesn¡¯t have such good conditions. If he wants to get enough land to build a cinema for himself in the most prosperous area, he must buy it with money and have others willing to sell it. Fortunately, Li Mingbao has thought about this problem a long time ago. The land in Hong Kong is now the cheapest in the 1980s, and there are still many people planning to sell their land. Most of these people are British who are not optimistic about Hong Kong's future, because they know that the general trend cannot be stopped, so after seeing that the limelight is not good, they are ready to transfer their industries. There are also some banana people who are not very optimistic about Hong Kong's future, so they are hastily preparing to immigrate. If in normal times, so many people representing Hong Kong's economy would leave, the British Hong Kong government would never allow it. But now, the British Hong Kong government is eager for a bigger trend to emerge, so that they will have more at the negotiating table. chips, so it is normal to secretly add fuel to the flames. It is necessary to spend 200 million Hong Kong dollars to buy some suitable land. This kind of work cannot be done by Li Mingbao alone. Even if he can find enough subordinates, he still needs to come forward when signing and making a decision. He had to get all the work done in a short time, and Li Mingbao couldn't do it even if he stayed awake. Fortunately, Li Mingbao is not the only outstanding person in the Li family. Several other brothers and sisters are all talents. Therefore, for such a major event, Li Mingbao entrusted his eldest brother Li Mingyao to do it. The catering industry has been on the right track. Li Mingbao Mingyao had free hands to clear the ground, so it was not too troublesome. So after the United Cinemas meeting was over, Li Mingbao and his brother split into two groups to investigate the land business. Of course, Li Mingbao's two older brothers, Li Minghuang and Li Minghu, are not idle either. Compared with Li Mingbao and the others, these two brothers have more manpower. Although most of the people on their hands are gangsters who are not worthy of being on the stage, there are also gangsters. The advantage of gangsters is that they have many low-level connections. It is not strange for them to get some information even before Li Mingbao and the others receive the news that someone is selling their house. With the full cooperation of the Li family, countless information has been gathered into Li Mingbao's villa. Which areas and which industries belong to whom are clearly marked. Who is eager to sell their properties in Hong Kong is also clearly marked. . With this information, Li Mingbao has a very clear understanding of the current real estate industry in Hong Kong. Before the 1980s, those who really controlled large-scale resources in Hong Kong were British companies. Although their strength was not necessarily very strong, and many companies were even unable to survive in the UK, but here in Hong Kong, Their development is very good. This good premise is not that the bosses of those companies are very wise. In fact,??If these bosses have outstanding abilities, then they will not be unable to survive in the UK. As for why we have gained so many benefits in Hong Kong, to put it bluntly, it is because the British Hong Kong government is playing favorites.
