Chapter 52: Letting go(1/2)
Two years after Zhu Chuanwen's family arrived in Xiangjiang, their life has stabilized.
Towns, villages, factories, schools, hospitals have been built, and the living infrastructure is no less than the Central Ring Road in the center of the city.
And because the planning is more reasonable, the basics of electricity, water, transportation, including communications, are actually better than those of the previous old city.
Zhu Chuanwen built development zones and new towns based entirely on the principles of later generations.
Space has been reserved for population explosion and traffic congestion.
It looks a little empty now, but it may still need to be expanded in the future, but now it just lasts a little longer.
"Dad, Mom, Na Wen Niang, there is a cocktail party at the Peninsula Hotel. We are all Chinese, and they want you to come over and join in."
Zhu Chuanwen's eldest son said to the three people.
The Peninsula Hotel at this time was actually quite high-end and could be considered one of the most luxurious hotels in the Far East.
Many people like to hold parties at the Peninsula Hotel.
"If anything happens, just go and attend. If you don't take care of the family affairs, do you still expect us old guys to step in?"
Zhu Chuanwen's eldest son is responsible for the family's real estate affairs.
Although the Zhu family already has many industries in Yuanbao Town.
But in the city center, it is impossible not to buy any property at all.
Even if the town develops very well, it still cannot achieve the status of a city center in many aspects.
Whether it is a commercial building, shop or residential building in the core area, Lao Zhu's family has the need to buy property.
Over the past two years, the population of Hong Kong Island has increased.
At this stage of Lao Zhu's family, the most profitable thing is actually the real estate business.
Hong Kong Island currently has a supportive attitude toward real estate.
It is still a stage where not many people believe in the development of real estate on Hong Kong Island and not many people are willing to invest in it.
Hong Kong Island has also experienced several population explosions.
But in the past, few people considered Hong Kong Island as a long-term residence.
They usually take refuge in Hong Kong Island for a short period of time, or work somewhere to make money, and then go back to their hometown.
Therefore, Lao Zhu's family had an advantage over others in engaging in real estate.
Although the Hong Kong Island government currently does not allow the construction of high-rise buildings, the height limit of five floors actually has little impact.
In this era when elevators are not so popular, most houses are actually at this height no matter what.
It is really popular and convenient to buy some small suites of about 200 square feet and rent them out.
At this stage, there are not so many various means of selling real estate in Hong Kong Island.
There is no such thing as off-plan housing, public stalls, or floor-by-house sales.
If you want to buy a house, you have to buy it building by building.
Ordinary people simply cannot afford to buy a house.
This is the reason why there will be so many tenants and landlords in Hong Kong in the future, and they will have several houses in their hands that can be used to collect rent.
The house starts with just one house, and there is no choice to buy less.
In developing real estate on Hong Kong Island, Zhu Chuanwen doesn't feel any pressure.
This is not about making dirty money, when so many people have no place to live.
There is indeed a need for houses, and Zhu Chuanwen does not force these people to buy houses, but mainly rents them.
Even if it is not a blessing, it is definitely not a destruction.
"Dad, they want to ask about the situation inside and outside the customs. How can I replace you?"
"Just let them do their work with peace of mind and don't forget where they came from."
Zhu Chuanwen said affirmatively.
In two years, not only has Zhu Chuanwen stabilized in Hong Kong Island, but the domestic situation has also become clearer.
After the situation became clear, Zhu Chuanwen left such a large family fortune outside the customs.
Having lost such a big favor, of course, one's status is even more important.
Both Yingzi and Zhu Chuanwen should be polite, let alone others.
Because of Zhu Chuanwen's direct and indirect influence, everyone's status on Hong Kong Island has improved a lot.
"Okay dad, I understand what you mean."
The eldest son is steady and prudent. Although he is not a pioneer, there is absolutely no problem in passing on the family business.
By keeping the most stable property, we can keep the foundation of Lao Zhu's family on Hong Kong Island, and it will be difficult to lose.
What Zhu Chuanwen likes even more about his eldest son is his firm stance.
The eldest son is the oldest and has lived outside the customs for the longest time. He never forgets his roots.
"Dad, mother, Xian'er mother, I want to fly to America."
After the eldest brother finished speaking, the second child followed.
"Why are you going to America?"
"I want to visit Hollywood, and then bring back a batch of advanced equipment to spread our broadcasting and cinemas throughout Hong Kong Island."
The second child actually accepted what Nawen was doing.
Media is the focus of Lao Er's development. Whether it is newspapers, radio, cinemas, or even TV stations in the future, Lao Er will be in charge.
No matter what you do, public opinion is very important.
Under the premise that it has nothing to do with self-media for a long time, it is even more important to master the channels for speaking out.
Many times, the masses are not so clear-headed, and they can gain the upper hand no matter what ideas they propagate.
As for the second child, Nawen's character is actually inherited a lot.
He is quite brave and likes to try things out.
If the old Zhu family needs to develop, the second child can actually be regarded as a pioneering talent.
"Okay, you can go if you want. It's time to go out and see the market."
Zhu Chuanwen had a supportive attitude towards his son who wanted to go out and have a look.
Although Zhu Chuanwen has no shortage of international students, he still has a few children at home.
Due to various reasons, I went to a university run by the old Zhu family and had no chance to study abroad.
That is to say, I have been to Maozi Country several times, and I have barely seen it in Europe, but no one has been to America.
Even though I went there this time, it wasn’t to study, but it is always good to gain insights.
"Dad, the efficiency of the factory is quite good now. But we should expand some production lines. I need your help to contact us about this."
Zhu Chuanwen's third son is responsible for the manufacturing industry of the old Zhu family.
Because after the war, there were devastation everywhere and a lot of industry was destroyed. The manufacturing industry during this period was very easy to do.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! It is not just a business on Hong Kong Island. Due to the convenience of freight, in the initial stage, Lao Zhu's products have radiated to many areas.
The third child is actually a calm managerial talent.
This is actually quite inconsistent with Xian'er.
Xian'er is actually quite a passionate and impulsive character. She was able to give birth to such a son, probably because she followed Zhu Chuanwen.
"Okay, I'll contact you about this."
Zhu Chuanwen contacted Guanwai. The industrial foundation that Zhu Chuanwen left behind in Guanwai was actually very good, and in many aspects it could actually reach a leading level.
Helping to produce some equipment production lines is not a problem.
"With the production line, we can recruit more workers, so we don't have to see so many people in difficulty and being unable to recruit them. We are always in trouble."
In fact, on Hong Kong Island, the identity of initial workers is not very popular.
The main reason is that workers’ income is relatively low.
Not as good as white-collar workers in office buildings and commercial buildings, nor as good as employees at docks.
It cannot be compared with government employees, nor can it be compared with social status.
Because the maintenance of public security on Hong Kong Island requires a large number of manpower, there has always been a large-scale recruitment of people for random patrols.
In fact, patrolling is the job that young people like to do most.
Factory workers here have always been a job that is not very popular.
However, with the influx of foreigners, employment has become increasingly difficult.
Even working as a worker in a factory has become a job that many people are competing for.
