Chapter 1035 I Am a Serious Businessman
Speaking of Nangang Land, many people will be unfamiliar with it, but when it comes to Yick Wo, both the older generation of Hong Kong people and the older generation of Chinese are familiar with it.
Because this was a foreign-funded foreign company during the Republic of China period, and it was the king of foreign-funded foreign companies. And this foreign capital was British. Back then, Britain was called the Empire on which the sun never sets, and its colonies were all over the world.
Even though Britain does not seem to be as powerful as the United States today, the British royal family still has a lot of say in its own country and other countries, and even has the ability to appoint presidents and members of parliament.
Hong Kong was a British colony before returning to China, and the area where Central is located was already a CBD before Hong Kong returned to China, not just rising now.
At that time, backed by the powerful foreign company Yick Wo, it is conceivable how powerful Nangang Land was. However, since returning to China from Hong Kong, this foreign company has moved the registered places of many companies from Hong Kong to Singapore and other countries, and has gradually kept a low profile.
Only joint ventures like Nangang Land are still operating in Hong Kong, but it seems that they have withdrawn their capital and left. But no one dares to underestimate the influence of this company, especially in property management and finance. Nangang Land can challenge tycoons such as Li Chaoren.
Sitting in the front row of the land auction yesterday was a man named Sir Zhang, who is currently the chairman of Nangang Land. The title of Sir is very important in Hong Kong and even in Southeast Asia.
Some people may scold that this is a kind of servility. He is proud to accept a foreign royal title even though he has returned to China. But no matter what outsiders say, in fact, this is indeed an honor. Even this title is a pass to the upper class in developed Western countries.
When your ability or influence cannot reach the height of others, no matter how you scold or protest, it is a matter of indifference to others. This is the same as the original sin of being a bad player in e-sports. No matter how strong you say you are, no matter how exaggerated you are, you always feel inferior to others without a championship.
"What do you think, the bosses of the branch companies here?" Yang Dongxu leaned on the sofa and looked at Zhang Nanheng and Wu Aibing.
Nangang Land is a hard bone, and it is impossible to bite it in a short time. However, Yang Dongxu is not afraid of the other party. When the Hong Kong real estate was turbulent when he returned from Hong Kong, he had fought with Yihe. After fighting with the boss, he would not be afraid of a younger brother.
However, he is not afraid, but he cannot underestimate the other party. After all, this is a local snake with complicated roots. If he is not careful, he may be overturned by him.
But Yang Dongxu can wait. As time goes by, he will become stronger and stronger, and he has a strong country behind him.
Although the British capital that Yihe relies on is also very powerful, it must be said that the distance between the two sides is constantly narrowing. One is rising slowly, and the other seems to have encountered a bottleneck. It is true that the individual is strong, but the influence is declining. As one rises, the other falls. One day, I will defeat the other, and even the boss behind the other.
"I have sorted out part of your properties in Hong Kong these days, focusing on the information of the entire community and office buildings.
And I have already made a connection with the Universal Agency, so I plan to divide these communities and office buildings into four parts, and at the same time promote four regional managers from the mainland and Hong Kong to be the general managers of the properties of these four parts.
With a limit of two years, the rating will be done once a year, and the winner will become the general manager of the Lijian Security Company in Hong Kong. At the same time, I plan to recruit some local Hong Kong security guards to expand the team here." Zhang Nanheng glanced at Wu Aibing and said.
Obviously he knew the point was coming, and Wu Aibing's coming here this time actually meant to help him stand up. After all, he was too unsure to face Yang Dongxu alone, even though he was more than ten years older than his big boss.
"Localization is right, which will reduce a lot of conflicts. However, no matter how localized, the service purpose of the team and the personal qualities and work ability of the personnel cannot be bad." Yang Dongxu said.
"That's for sure. No matter how convenient it is, we can't smash our own signboard." Zhang Nanheng said quickly.
"It's good that you have a good idea. Don't rush to start work and attend several banquets with me these days." Yang Dongxu nodded.
"I will be ready at any time." Zhang Nanheng's eyes lit up.
Obviously, his big boss is ready to push him to the front completely. Attending banquets is also a necessary part of expanding his network, and it is beneficial for his future layout in Hong Kong.
You should know that the relationship and channels in the mainland were opened before, and no one messed up with Yang Dongxu, so the property work of some communities and office buildings was done very smoothly.
In addition, some property staff are absorbed from the families of some local martyrs, and occasionally they will cooperate with the local police to do some joint activities. No matter in the official or social circles, no scoundrel dares to explode in the area under the jurisdiction of the Blade Security Company.
Even if they occasionally encounter a few young people, they can easily get rid of them with the personal quality of the security guards of the Blade Security Company. Therefore, the reputation of the Blade Security Company in the mainland is well-known.
And coming to Hong Kong to expand the territory of their own company, and there are so many strong opponents to face right from the start. Connections and channels are more important.
This is a bit like the idea of connecting heaven and earth in the movies. Although we are doing a legitimate business, some relationships still need to be managed well.
Otherwise, some street thugs always make trouble in the community under your jurisdiction. As a property company, you are not a law enforcement department. Some small crimes are very troublesome.
It is actually very easy for Yang Dongxu to attend some dinners. Especially the Central Auction, he was on the headlines of Hong Kong newspapers for several days in a row and became the Hong Kong land king this year.
Whether it is someone who wants to find him to make connections, or someone in the upper class who wants to expand his own network, there are always people who contact him through various seemingly unrelated relationships and send him invitations.
So after the Central Auction, Yang Dongxu changed his previous low-key style in Hong Kong and kept going in and out of various banquets of wealthy celebrities for several days in a row, collecting a lot of various business cards.
And Zhang Nanheng, who followed behind Yang Dongxu, also became familiar with some prominent people in Hong Kong. Let others know that he is Yang Dongxu's henchman.
Regardless of whether these people are hypocritical or superficial friends. In short, if there is something in the future, you will not be completely clueless about who to turn to. As long as you know each other, you will know whether the channels and connections are useful after you move around. The beginning and the end are another matter.
"You made a big fuss this time, which made many people dissatisfied." At the opening banquet of an office building in Tsim Sha Tsui, Fu Cha Ming swung the wine glass in his hand and came to Yang Dongxu.
Seeing someone coming, it was Fu Cha Ming, who is very famous in Hong Kong. Originally chatting and laughing with Yang Dongxu, several real estate bosses and several financial elites who were meeting for the first time in the eyes of outsiders were politely stepped aside.
And the banquet girls who originally saw these people coming and wanted to come and get to know Yang Dongxu. At this time, they couldn't help but look at Fu Cha Ming with resentment.
You know, Yang Dongxu, a young and rich bachelor, has received more small notes and room cards in the past few days than his own business cards.
He is definitely the hottest chicken at the banquet, just like Tang Monk who entered the Pansi Cave, and many women want to pounce on him and take a bite. Many tabloids and paparazzi were watching the Peninsula Hotel 24 hours a day, and they were just short of installing surveillance cameras in his room.
They just wanted to take some gossip or something, and many times at banquets, some small stars always rubbed against him to see if they could spread some gossip.
But what disappointed these people was that Yang Dongxu seemed to have expected this situation and had been well prepared, leaving them with no chance to take advantage of it and was very depressed.
"There are only so many cakes in total. If you consider other people's feelings and eat less, then you can only starve yourself, and no one will pity you." Yang Dongxu shrugged indifferently, obviously not caring about these dissatisfactions.
In fact, without Fu Cha saying it, he knew that some people had some bad comments about him, especially in the real estate circle. His sudden success made many people look at him sideways, and many people were jealous and envious.
It's like you, an outsider, suddenly performed a king's arrival in front of the locals. Remove those who want to kneel and lick you, and the rest is naturally all kinds of envy and jealousy.
"I knew you had this attitude. You don't care about those clowns. But I heard that your property company is entering Hong Kong. Are you interested in cooperating?" Fu Chaming raised the champagne in his hand and clinked it with Yang Dongxu.
"Are you going to get involved in the property industry?" Yang Dongxu looked at Fu Chaming in surprise.
"It's not that I'm going to get involved, but the Fu family already had this business, but it wasn't very big." Fu Chaming said.
Yang Dongxu nodded silently. The business that the Fu family did before was a bit dishonorable. However, the environment in Hong Kong is quite special. Some people who do dishonorable business do not have legitimate business.
For example, in many Hong Kong movies, some gangs collect protection fees, which is actually a disguised property business. Of course, those entertainment venues or some dishonest businesses really collect protection fees.
But property companies have more or less some connections in the underworld. These were very common in the past, and even now, there are more or less some involvements that have not been completely eliminated.
"When you have time, talk to Zhang Nanheng. He is the person in charge of the property company in Hong Kong. But you have to be sensible. I am a serious businessman." Yang Dongxu said with a smile.
"I know this without you saying it. I am also a serious businessman now." Fu Chaming also laughed, and when he raised his hand, he was touched by Yang Dongxu again.
But when Yang Dongxu said that he was a serious person, he didn't know why his mouth seemed a little stiff. I suddenly thought of Yang Dongxu's thunderous means when he was still a teenager facing those gangsters in the mainland and some old grudges in Southeast Asia.
At that time, every time he faced Yang Dongxu, Fu Chaming had some self-doubts, who was the real gangster. Now he said that he was a serious businessman, everyone said so now.
