Chapter 643 Black Cloud Town 2
As Professor Bao Zixuan and Professor Rubik finished their speeches, the press conference entered the question-and-answer session of reporters. This is a necessary process for every meeting and will not be changed lightly. But I just don't know if the questions raised by these reporters will be too sharp. Bao Shaofu is a little worried about Professor Rubik at this time. After all, the environment here is not as mild as Hungary, and Xiangjiang is full of hidden swords and swords.
This time, the first opportunity to ask questions was given to the local media in Xiangjiang. Ming Pao got this opportunity because of the presence of Mr. Jin Yong. This makes Ming Pao's reporters feel very proud. No matter in terms of popularity or influence, Ming Pao cannot get this opportunity. It seems that Heiyun Group is giving them face, so Ming Pao should not make trouble.
Ming Pao reporter stood up and asked: "Hello, Mr. Bao! I am Wu Xiaolian, Ming Pao reporter. I would like to ask Heiyun Group to invest 200 billion Hong Kong dollars to build Heiyun Town. If the project is completed, many comments will be self-defeating, but investment It’s so big, you won’t have to worry about changing numbers!”
The Ming Pao reporter's intention was obviously to get Bao Zixuan's views on the current situation. After all, Bao Zixuan is very close to the mainland and is one of the people who knows the future direction of Hong Kong better. He must have received some kind of guarantee for such a huge investment. , otherwise even rich people would not dare to do this.
It can be said that the first talk was about the situation in Xiangjiang, which made everyone listen attentively. The future of Hong Kong is related to their vital interests, and everyone is very concerned about it.
Bao Zixuan said with a smile: "I am a native of Xiangjiang, and I have never thought about leaving. As for rumors that are unfounded, I have never cared about them. Anyone who is sensible will not think about it. "
"Heiyun Group needs space to develop. At present, the land in Xiangjiang Island and Kowloon has become saturated, and there is no room for development. Therefore, it can only find a way in the New Territories. Fortunately, the Hong Kong government and local residents are very cooperative. Heiyun Group Only by purchasing such a large area of land can the development space of Heiyun be opened up, and you no longer need to worry about whether Heiyun Group will stay in Xiangjiang."
"For a Xiangjiang person, this is our home, and we can still go there. Therefore, Heiyun Group, including myself, will not leave Xiangjiang, and you don't need to make too many guesses about this matter."
"Everyone hopes to see a Hong Kong with stable economic development and prosperous market. If anyone dares to go against this will, he is an enemy of the entire people of Hong Kong. No one will agree easily, and I don't think anyone will do such a thankless task. thing."
It can be said that Bao Zixuan's answer has basically determined the matter, that is, he will not leave Xiangjiang. The headquarters of the Black Cloud Group will be built in the New Territories; at the same time, it is also implicitly stated that China and Britain will not go to war over the Hong Kong issue. The people of Xiangjiang will not agree, and both sides will have concerns.
It can be said that Britain's national strength is in decline, and it has absolutely no ability to fight China on its doorstep. It is no different from seeking death. Of course, this is just the personal meaning that Bao Shoufang wants to express, but in many cases it is enough.
Bao Zixuan's words have stabilized the stock and property markets in Xiangjiang to a certain extent. The fact that Heiyun Group dares to invest in the construction of its headquarters at this time itself explains a lot of problems. HKD 200 billion is a huge sum of money for Bao, the richest man in the world. Now that they dare to invest such a large amount, they have nothing to worry about.
In the previous life, the situation in Hong Kong did not stabilize until the joint declaration was issued in 1984, and the New Territories only slowly developed after the handover. This time, with such a large investment from Heiyun Group, the economic situation in Xiangjiang immediately improved. Land in the New Territories has become a hot commodity. After all, the New Territories itself has a large land area. It’s just that there was no leading company to take the lead before. Now that Heiyun Group has acquired nearly half of the land, the value of the remaining land will be immeasurable.
Mr. Bao has shown his determination to vigorously develop the New Territories, and other people in Hong Kong have seen hope. In fact, two big guys, Lee Shau Kee and Guo Desheng, have already started hoarding surrounding land.
These two have extremely keen business acumen. If Bao Zixuan can do this, why wouldn't they dare? Business opportunities are fleeting, and if you can't seize them, you won't be able to become a super tycoon.
In fact, Li Chaoren had long seen the trends of the Heiyun Group, and he immediately began to acquire land in the surrounding area. At this time, the land area hoarded in the New Territories was no less than that of the previous two.
Other tycoon figures have also purchased more or less part of the land in the New Territories; at this time, the real estate market in Hong Kong was in a downturn, housing prices continued to fall, and land in the New Territories was even more ridiculously cheap due to historical reasons. Knowing that Bao Zixuan had such a large sum of money, how could he not make a move, just to make a profit from the price difference.
Even Zheng Yutong, who had never dealt with Bao Zixuan, bought several pieces of land, not to mention others. However, everyone has formed a tacit understanding that their land will never be touched unless the richest man Bao starts construction.
Everyone is worried that the situation may change, and they dare not take the lead easily. Now that they saw the guy Bao Zixuan announcing the development of the New Territories in such a big and upright manner, most of their doubts had been dispelled. Now it depends on how to develop. With a big tree at your back to enjoy the shade, no one will let go of such an opportunity.
The Black Cloud Town project made British companies very unhappy. They relied on their connections to obtain a lot of land in Xiangjiang Island and Kowloon. Although the Heiyun Town project can stabilize the situation in Xiangjiang, it will not be of great help to Xiangjiang Island and Kowloon.
Hong Kong only has such a large population, and the New Territories has the largest land area. It is also not far from mainland China. If the New Territories develop, it will inevitably divert the economic power of Xiangjiang Island and Kowloon, which is not a good thing for them.
This is not the time for Bao Shoufang to care. He still wants to implement the Heiyun Town project as soon as possible. Then he has more time to devote to scientific research, and many projects are inseparable from him.
A reporter from the British Times asked: "Hello, Mr. Bao! I would like to ask why the position of chief designer of Heiyun Town was given to a less well-known figure. After all, Professor Rubik has nothing to gain except studying the Rubik's Cube. There are many excellent designers in Europe and the United States who have produced works, so are there any secrets that we don’t know about?"
In fact, this is normal. Bao Zixuan had already thought about this issue when he wanted to let Professor Rubik serve as the chief designer of Heiyun Town. Although the United Kingdom and Hungary both belong to Europe, many Europeans think that Hungary is different from them. They are descendants of the Huns and are essentially different from them. At the same time, Hungary is a Warsaw Pact country and has relatively little information.
The British, who have always been arrogant, do not believe that Hungary can produce any design masters; Bao Zixuan actually gave up on many famous designers in Europe and the United States. No one would believe that there is really no selfishness in letting an unknown person hold such an important position.
Bao Zixuan said with a smile: "It is wrong for you to make such an evaluation of someone you don't know, or you have lost the basic judgment criteria. This is not like the evaluation made by a reporter."
"Professor Rubik's strength is only known to those who know him well. I dare to let him take charge of a 200 billion Hong Kong dollar project. I must have my reasons. There are indeed many outstanding and well-known design experts in other countries in Europe and the United States, but I am not like these people. They are not familiar with it; they don’t have a thorough understanding of Heiyun Group’s cultural concepts.”
"Professor Rubik has been cooperating with Heiyun Group for more than 5 years and has a deep understanding of Heiyun's development and future layout. At the same time, there is no doubt about his ability, which can be seen after the completion of Heiyun Town .”
"Don't discriminate against others because of regional issues. This is very impolite behavior. Therefore, I hope you can understand a person fairly and impartially, rather than denying a famous designer because of the country and region."
"Heiyun Town is the headquarters of Heiyun Group, and the entire investment scale exceeds 200 billion Hong Kong dollars. No one will hand over such a major project to a layman if he is not fully sure; only if his ability, character, and achievements can meet the requirements. will get the position.”
Bao Zixuan fully supported the Hungarians, which moved Professor Rubik next to him. It is enough to have someone who trusts you so much in his life; the scale of investment in the Heiyun Town project is destined to make him leave a mark in the history of architecture.
Bao Zixuan didn't want the outside world to disturb Professor Rubik's mind. Who could work seriously if he was thinking about other things every day. At the same time, he also warned reporters not to look for trouble, and any doubts should be evaluated after the completion of Heiyun Town.
What Bao Zixuan said was very reasonable, and reporters didn't know how to comment. Now it seems that we still need to ask some questions about the Heiyun Town project itself, rather than blindly questioning the newly appointed chief designer.
I have been busy with furniture fairs in the past few days, so the update is a bit late. I hope you can understand that the exhibition is coming to an end and we will ensure stable updates in the future! Thank you all for your support and love, and please forgive me!
