Rebirth of Hong Kong 1981

   Chapter 806 The low-key Yourong Company

  There is no public transportation on Lamma Island. The roads on the island are all trails built around the mountains. In many places, even mountain bikes are not suitable for driving.

   Therefore, hiking is the main way to travel on the island.

   Disembarked from the port of Rongshuwan. Under the leadership of Izhitian, Yang Chen and his party walked towards Pineapple Tsui.

  The longest route on Lamma Island is a seven-kilometer long trail. Starting from the coastline, there are many stalls selling soda and snacks along the way, and many of the stall owners are European faces.

Because Lamma Island is far away from the bustling and bustling city, it attracts many tourists who come to the island for leisure. There are holes in the east and west. Before the return of Xiangjiang, there are still many Europeans living in Xiangjiang, especially Yung Shue Wan itself is a city. The Western gathering area has indirectly attracted many British people to come here for leisure and vacation.

  From Rongshuwan to the island, Yang Chen and his party walked and admired the surrounding scenery, as if they were playing. It took about thirty or forty minutes on foot to arrive at the power plant slowly.

  On Lamma Island, the Governor's Office has approved a total of nearly 50 hectares of land for the Heung Kong Electric Lighting Company in order to install the power plant.

  According to the previous plan of Heung Kong Electric Lighting Company, this area is definitely enough. The third phase of the project, plus a part of the reclamation area, the land is more than enough.

   However, now that Big Boss Yang is in charge, this area is probably not enough, especially since Yang Chen is also planning to use wind power on a large scale, which will require more land.

   Fortunately, there are many islands around the Xiangjiang River, most of which are uninhabited and close to the sea. The most important thing is wind power. As long as you can communicate with the Governor's Office, this problem is not big.

   As for the lack of land, the location of Pineapple Tsui is excellent, and it is convenient to reclaim the sea. As long as you have money, you can fill in as much as you are willing to fill.

Lamma Island is far away from the city center. The reclamation project will not affect the daily life of the residents, and the surrounding environment will not be greatly affected. There are relatively few obstacles. Those environmental fighters of later generations have not yet found an organization, but they don’t need to worry about it. This leisure.

   Seeing that there are many Western faces on the construction site, Yang Chen couldn't help but ask, "Which company contracted the power plant construction project?"

  Izhitian said: "The equipment is handled by Siemens of Germany. They have always had a good reputation in Asia. Previously, the Ap Leizhou Power Plant was also contracted by Siemens, and our own real estate company was responsible for the rest."

   Yang Chen heard the back, and asked in a speechless manner, "Is there still a real estate company in Xiangjiang Electric?"

Seeing that Yang Chen's complexion was a little ugly, Yi Zhitian wiped the sweat on his forehead and explained bravely: "Boss, earlier the company had a lot of land on Xiangjiang Island, and those were the company's early power plants on the island. The original site was left, and later with the real estate boom, so…”

  As the first power company to enter Hong Kong, especially the company that provides electricity supply to the entire Hong Kong Island, the Hong Kong Electric Lighting Company owns a lot of land on Hong Kong Island.

  Xiangjiang Island is the most prosperous area in Xiangjiang. Even in a remote place, the land is very valuable.

In order to build power plants on Ap Lei Chau and Lamma Island, Heung Kong Electric has sold a lot of land, but the thin camel is bigger than Ma. The real estate company under Heung Kong Electric still has a good annual profit, second only to Under the parent company Heungkong Electric.

   Unlike other real estate companies that sell their properties after they are built, most of the properties owned by Heung Kong Electric Light Company are built and rented out. The annual rent alone can provide Heung Kong Electric Lighting, the parent company, with a large and stable income.

   "Boss, this is the person in charge of the construction of the power plant."

   "Boss, I'm sorry, just now"

Looking at the middle-aged man who was about forty years old in front of him, with a nervous expression on his face, he couldn't speak clearly, Yang Chen interrupted by raising his hand, pointing to the sand transporter in the port, and asked, "Don't say so much, those two sand transporters Which company is it from?"

   looked up at Boss Yang, and saw that Yang Chen was not looking at him, but was staring at the direction of the sand transporter, the middle-aged man hesitated for a moment, then hesitantly said, "Yes, it's the sand transporter of Yourong Company."

   "Yourong Company?" Yang Chen frowned, the name was familiar, but he couldn't remember which company it belonged to.

   Seeing this, Xue Yufei quickly leaned into Yang Chen's ear and muttered a few words.

   "Uh" Hearing that it was a company owned by Huo Daheng, the corner of Yang Chen's mouth twitched.

  Since Huo Daheng was suppressed by the Governor's Office due to the problem of standing in the queue, his companies have basically been unable to receive large-scale projects. Only the large-scale and low-profit projects such as reclamation, the Governor's Office allows the Huo family to continue to operate.

   It is precisely because of the repression from the Governor's Palace that the once famous Yourong Company has gradually become low-key and gradually forgotten by many people.

Of course, with the insistence of the mainland on the return of Xiangjiang, the Huo family has been much better than before in recent years. After another year or two, after China and the UK officially signed an agreement on the return of Xiangjiang, the Huo family in Xiangjiang Status becomes detached.

  Although Li Chaoren is the richest man in China in later generations, the status of the Li family in Xiangjiang is still not as good as that of the Huo family, the first family in Xiangjiang. No one could shake it when Huo Daheng was alive.

   "cough cough" Seeing the people around him staring at him, Yang Chen couldn't help coughing twice, then changed the subject and said, "Then, is the person in charge of Siemens on the construction site?"

  The middle-aged man, who had no interest in carrying sand boats, nodded and asked, "Yes, boss, do you want to see them?"

   "Find them here!"

   Originally, he wanted to connect with the Siemens family through Alisha's relationship, and then talk about cooperation.

   Now that he has met someone from Siemens, there is no need to trouble Alisha any more. Given his current relationship with Alisha, it is hard to make a clear judgment on how the Siemens family treats him.

   Instead of this, it is better to directly discuss the interests with the other party.

  The current head of Siemens is still held by a member of the Siemens family, but Siemens is no longer the private property of a certain family after hundreds of years of inheritance.

   Even the Siemens family cannot completely decide all the affairs of Siemens, because there are other shareholders within the company, and the interests of the shareholders need to be guaranteed.

  Before he won the Xiangjiang Electric Lighting, he had already sent someone to inquire about it. Siemens has not yet established a branch in the inland.

   During this period, foreign-funded enterprises, including overseas Chinese businessmen, who wanted to set up companies in the inland, had to enter into joint ventures with inland local governments to exchange technology for the market.

Due to certain technical blockades in Germany, Siemens would like to further cooperate with the inland, but in some aspects, due to the delay in progress, their business in China has not been able to gain much. expansion.
