Chapter 1637 The General Returns

Also at the end of March, Huo Jianning officially transferred back to Xiangjiang from the mainland.

Starting from the Spring Festival this year, Huo Jianning began to arrange affairs in the mainland.

Including Kirin Radio Company and Kirin Record Company, he promoted prepared talents to ensure that the business would not be interrupted after he left.

The big guys in Lin'an were very reluctant to let this young general manager leave.

It's not like they haven't dealt with people from Xiangjiang before. In comparison, Huo Jianning, who was gentle and quick in doing things, left the best impression on them.

If it weren't for the fact that the two succeeding general managers in Lin'an were both acquaintances and had worked in Lin'an since the two factories were first established, they would definitely have asked Yin Jun to keep Huo Jianning for another three to five years.

Back in Xiangjiang, Huo Jianning's position was still the vice president of Kirin Group, but he was specifically responsible for Kirin Group's newly added real estate business.

First of all, the first thing he needs to do is the project of the new convention and exhibition center.

In November last year, the Hong Kong government approved the cooperation between the Hong Kong Trade Development Council and the Kirin Group to develop new land reclamation in Wan Chai.

The basic work of leveling the land and laying the foundation has already been underway in an orderly manner.

This is something Huo Jianning has already paid attention to in the mainland.

The seven or eight managers who are specifically responsible have been responsible to Huo Jianning from the beginning, and Huo Jianning directs their step-by-step work in the mainland.

Now that he is back in Xiangjiang, Huo Jianning is within easy reach and can better control the situation.

After more than four months, the overall project of the new convention and exhibition center has achieved considerable results.

The first is the new convention and exhibition center with the most complex shape. The 20-meter reinforced concrete base at the bottom has been poured.

The upper body structure is now welded with steel.

Dozens of tower cranes constantly lift the steel to where it is needed, and workers climbing on them perform various welding and construction work.

The new convention and exhibition center does not entirely adopt a reinforced concrete structure. Instead, it adopts a construction method of reinforced concrete at the bottom and fully reinforced concrete at the top.

Although most of these convention and exhibition centers, modern stadiums, museums, etc. around the world use all-reinforced steel buildings, Xiangjiang is different.

This place is right on the seaside, and seawater erosion is very serious. If you want to maintain long-term use and future maintenance will not be too troublesome, this is the best way.

The reinforced concrete of the base can ensure longer-term corrosion resistance and strength. The steel structure of the superstructure needs to be inspected and repaired every year. If there are problems, replacement and repairs are sufficient.

The Sydney Grand Theater is in a similar location to Xiangjiang. They use an all-reinforced construction method. After ten or twenty years, the annual repair work is very annoying and troublesome.

With the manpower and material resources Yin Jun has invested in it, the overall construction project will be completed by the end of this year.

In comparison, high-end office buildings, hotel apartments and Sands Hotel appear to be slower.

It’s not that the project here is complicated or that there is a shortage of manpower.

But these buildings are much higher than the convention and exhibition center, and they all use the traditional construction method of reinforced concrete, so there are strict regulations on the time for drying and waiting.

Like the new convention and exhibition center, thousands of people spent a month building the steel frame, then poured concrete into the entire structure, and then let it dry for about a month before the entire lower part and base construction tasks were completed.

In places such as office buildings, apartments and hotels, one floor is one floor, and the second floor cannot be built until it is dry and hardened.

Being able to build one floor in about 15 days is already very fast.

Building a one-story house in 15 days was the famous South Bay speed of the 1990s.

But in the mainland, especially in the north, it is difficult to achieve it in the 1990s because of the weather temperature.

So this is thanks to the fact that the weather in Xiangjiang has been very good recently. Since winter, the sun has been shining almost all day long, and it rarely rains.

But then, luck will naturally be better.

Because the weather is getting hotter now. It will be at least 5 degrees higher than in winter. In another month, the temperature will be above 30 degrees.

In such weather, the concrete that is most suitable for building houses dries out, which can speed up the time it takes for them to dry and stabilize.

As a result, the speed of building a first floor can be increased from 15 days to about 10 days.

Even so, the overall construction period of the new convention and exhibition center project was still scheduled to 1986, which was two years later.

After all, the three main buildings of the Sands Hotel are all 66-story buildings, and the huge sailing ship at the top requires meticulous craftsmanship and careful construction to achieve perfection.

Huo Jianning was not anxious about this.

Because the projects he wants to host cannot be completed in a short time.

For example, the more important Lantau Island development plan is his top priority this time when he returns to Hong Kong.

This huge development plan, which carries Yin Jun's Hong Kong dream, involves development funds of more than 80 billion Hong Kong dollars, and is ready to increase investment at any time.

The Lantau Island Development Plan is also the largest engineering project in the history of Hong Kong. It is larger than any government-led investment project.

It is also for this reason that the government is still intensively discussing the feasibility of the plan and how it should treat this plan.

I have to say that Yin Jun's timing was perfect.

At any other time, the government would not have approved such a large-scale land sale, nor would it have given Yin Jun such an opportunity to flex his muscles.

But now the land market and property market in Hong Kong are at their lowest point, and the Hong Kong government urgently needs someone to step forward to develop real estate on a large scale and stimulate the development of various economic chains.

Therefore, the Lantau Island Development Plan is also a life-saving straw for them and must be grasped.

So Huo Jianning understands that even though the Xiangjiang government is still arguing, they will definitely give in in the end.

And the disagreement is simply about how much benefit they want to gain.

Not only the 30 square kilometers of land requested by Qilin Group, but also how much they want to sell it for.

It’s not just about how much tax benefits they can collect from this land every year in the future.

There is one more important thing.

Now that the Lantau Island Development Plan has been put forward and the Kirin Group has taken the lead, the land near the Kirin Group is no longer wasteland, but a piece of treasure land to be developed.

They just need to wait for Qilin Group to build all the planned things. I dare not say that the nearby land is as expensive as Sheung Wan and Central, or even a little worse than Yau Tsim Mong, but it is sold to Broadcasting Road, The land prices in Tsing Yi and Ngau Tau Kok are not exaggerated, right?

That’s a high price of over HK$500 per square foot!

The major developers have already been eyeing it!

That is to say, the government has not relented at all, otherwise they would have dared to buy dozens of acres of land, develop it with Yin Jun, and enjoy the happiness of the skyrocketing real estate value appreciation.

Lantau Island is so large and can be reclaimed. The land sold here alone can earn at least tens of billions.

And just like the Kirin Group's development plan, the government can not only sell land, but also the commercial facilities and business activities carried out here in the future will continuously contribute to tax revenue.

With Disney here and various commercial and entertainment facilities of the Kirin Group here, this tax is definitely indispensable!

It is no exaggeration to say that as long as the Kirin Group's Lantau Island development plan is approved, Lantau Island will become a new commercial and economic prosperous area in Hong Kong, which is an absolute surprise.

After all, the current government has not even completed the development of the Yuen Long New Territories. If Yin Jun had not proposed these emerging development plans, how could they have imagined that they could build such a new type of prosperous town on Lantau Island?

Under this situation, Huo Jianning did not panic at all.

As the general person in charge of the Lantau Island Development Plan, he did not go to the government to inquire. Instead, he dealt with the matters and business at hand, and gradually became familiar with Xiangjiang again in order to better carry out the work in the next few years.

If Yin Jun's plan is followed, Huo Jianning will basically not be able to get away from real estate projects in the next five years.

Speaking of which, Huo Jianning still has many big projects in his hands.

In addition to continuing to let the group of managers under him continue to purchase high-quality land, real estate and houses in Hong Kong, there is also the business of the eight Kirin Commercial Plazas on Hong Kong Island.

Such eight customized commercial plazas are certainly not too small.

There are 16 floors above ground, each floor is 3,600 square meters, and the total of 8 buildings is almost 8 billion Hong Kong dollars.

In today's Hong Kong real estate industry, many giants with a market value of hundreds of billions in the future have total assets of less than 8 billion. You said that if they sell a building, they can get back 1 billion Hong Kong dollars. What's wrong with that?

Therefore, from the beginning, real estate developers with land in the designated area actively contacted Huo Jianning to get this customized quota.

Kirin Group has no risk of bankruptcy. Once the contract is signed, they don't need to get a down payment. They dare to start construction as quickly as possible, strive to hand over the house as early as possible, and get all the money as early as possible.

Anyone who does business with the Kirin Group knows that the Kirin Group does business very much like the ancients. It never defaults on payment and everything is done in accordance with the contract. There is definitely no time when it treats its partners poorly.

It's safe to do business with a company like this.

It's just that Huo Jianning is still not in a hurry about this.

As early as when he was in Lin'an, his landline phone number was bombarded by the general managers of many developers, but he did not make a commitment.

After returning to Xiangjiang, he went out to socialize with people every day, but he never expressed his opinion on the spot.

He went to socialize just to re-familiarize himself with the business environment in Xiangjiang and get to know the real estate leaders, and he was not in a hurry to make a decision.

When it comes to business involving 1 billion to 1 billion, there is no room for sloppiness.

Huo Jianning was entrusted with important tasks by Yin Jun when he was in his twenties. He knew that many people within the Qilin Group had complaints.

Only because his performance in the mainland was pretty good, there was no large-scale outbreak of dissatisfaction.

Now that he has returned to Xiangjiang and has been directly entrusted by Yin Jun with many projects worth hundreds of billions of Hong Kong dollars, he needs to do the things he is doing well so that he can clear his name and prove to everyone that Mr. Jun is not wrong about the person.

Huo Jianning's character is stable and down-to-earth. After considering so many issues, how could he make a decision in a hasty manner?

Take the Kirin Commercial Plaza as an example. If the location is wrong and there are no expected customers to meet the demand, then whose responsibility is it?

Then those people will have even more gossip to talk about.

So, don't do things in a hurry.

It's easy to make mistakes when you're in a hurry.

Compared with being conservative, making mistakes is the most troublesome!
