Siheyuan: My wife is Xu Huizhen

He Yuzhu smiled and nodded, expressing his gratitude for the other party's help, and then the two returned to the spacious and bright office on the top floor together.

After entering the office, they sat on comfortable sofa chairs with a thick stack of documents and contracts in front of them.

The staff handed the relevant documents to He Yuzhu and explained each term and condition in detail.

He Yuzhu listened carefully and asked questions from time to time to make sure that he fully understood and agreed to the conditions.

Finally, after some discussion and confirmation, He Yuzhu picked up the pen and signed his name in a casual manner.

The contract involved important information such as the floor area, rent and lease term. Each floor was 4000 square feet in size, and the annual rent was as high as 2.8 Hong Kong dollars.

He Yuzhu rented the entire three floors without hesitation, and his annual rental expenditure reached a staggering 8.4 Hong Kong dollars.

However, for him who is financially strong, this amount of money is just a drop in the bucket.

As long as those advanced lathe equipment can be successfully put into use and large-scale production can be carried out, a steady stream of high-quality machine parts will roll off the production line.

With exquisite craftsmanship and efficient production capacity, He Yuzhu firmly believes that his company will achieve great success.

After the signing was completed, both parties took a short break and started chatting.

Li Ka-shing asked curiously, "I wonder what kind of business Mr. Ho is planning to engage in this time?"

He Yuzhu answered confidently: "My plan is to focus on hardware products, while also covering various mechanical equipment and electric fans that are popular among the public."

Hearing this, Li Ka-shing couldn't help but give a thumbs up and praised: "This is a very good business! I believe that with Mr. He's strength and vision, he will definitely be able to show his talents in the market and create brilliant results. Here, I sincerely wish Mr. He a prosperous career and great success!"

He Yuzhu smiled modestly and said:

"Thank you for your kind words! Actually, I have another idea I want to ask you. How can I build an industrial building of my own?"

This question surprised Li Chaoren a little. He asked back with a little surprise:

"Does Boss Li intend to build an industrial building himself?"

He Yuzhu nodded calmly and said, "Yes, I currently have a certain amount of idle funds in my hands, and I have to find a suitable investment channel to use them. Originally, I planned to directly purchase the entire ready-made building, but unfortunately, I have not been able to find a seller willing to sell it. I had no choice but to choose to rent a factory building as a transitional measure."

"Oh? Then what exactly do you want to do?"

He Yuzhu looked at Li Ka Shing, who was talking eloquently in front of him, with great interest, secretly guessing his true intentions.

Li Ka Shing smiled and said confidently:

"To be honest, I have a complete and experienced professional team. If you are interested, you can let our company undertake the project."

As he spoke, Li Ka Shing's eyes flashed with shrewdness and wisdom, and he was obviously fully confident in his own strength.

After all, if he didn't have such outstanding business insight and acumen, how could he have become the richest Chinese?

After an in-depth exchange, Li Ka Shing had already seen through He Yuzhu's situation - this man had just arrived in Hong Kong and although he had a huge fortune, he was a little constrained because he was unfamiliar with the place and lacked connections.

My company happens to have been deeply involved in this field for many years and has rich experience. There is undoubtedly broad room for cooperation between the two parties.

At this time, He Yuzhu frowned slightly and raised a key question:

"If we really want to cooperate, should we provide the land for development and construction, or should you be responsible for preparing it?"

Facing this core issue, Li Ka Shing responded calmly:

“In fact, both methods are feasible. Take the North Point area for example. Most of the buildings here are low-rise. So, whether it is acquiring existing properties or purchasing new land for development, it will be much easier to operate.”

Hearing this, He Yuzhu couldn't help but nodded in agreement.

He knew in his heart that compared to the bustling Wan Chai area, North Point was indeed a little inferior.

The most common buildings in Wan Chai are four-storey buildings. The ground floor is usually used as shops, while the upper floors are planned for residential use.

However, even in Wan Chai, high-rise buildings with more than four floors are not everywhere.

On the other hand, in North Point, there are not many four-storey houses, and most of them are simple houses with only one or two floors. Therefore, it is much easier to carry out the house collection work here.

"How much would it cost to build a 1-story industrial building like this?" He Yuzhu asked curiously.

The man opposite thought for a moment and replied:

"For a relatively small area like yours, it can be done with about 90. However, if you are willing to pay 150 million, I guarantee that I can build you a single-story industrial building with an area of ​​1 square feet!"

Hearing this, He Yuzhu's eyes lit up, and then asked:

"What if I provide the land?"

The man just smiled and said, "If that's the case, then a 1 square foot building would only cost 100 million."

He Yuzhu's heart was moved, and he secretly thought:

The goods I have on hand have been successfully sold for tens of millions!

If this batch of goods is sold out, there will be more than enough funds to build industrial buildings, enough to build more than 20 buildings!

In this way, the income from rent collection every year alone can be quite considerable!

Li Ka Shing, who was standing by, was naturally very happy when he saw He Yuzhu showing great interest.

After all, although the business model of renting but not selling is relatively stable, the actual money he earns every day is not that much.

Originally, they thought they had just met a large tenant, but they never thought that the other party was actually a wealthy man with the financial resources to build a brand new industrial building. So, the two of them started a heated discussion with great interest.

Time passed quickly, and before they knew it, it was already 3pm. However, they still could not reach a consensus on many details, and it seemed that this discussion was far from over...

"I'm so sorry, Mr. He. I'm so sorry. I had already made an appointment with two good friends to have afternoon tea together."

Li Ka-shing looked at Mr. Ho in front of him with an apologetic look.

Hearing this, Mr. He waved his hand and said:

"Oh, my goodness, I am so sorry to have wasted so much of your precious time."

In fact, Li Ka Shing initially reserved for himself a full half an hour to discuss this collaboration.

According to the original idea, if it was just a simple matter like renting a building, then this amount of time would definitely be more than enough.

However, what he did not expect was that as the conversation deepened, the two sides not only discussed the issue of renting a building, but also further discussed a series of more complex and important matters such as commissioning the construction of a new industrial building.

At this moment, their conversation was only halfway through, but it seemed inappropriate to just ruthlessly drive He Yuzhu away.

Firstly, it seemed too rude to He Yuzhu; secondly, Li Ka Shing was also secretly worried that this business might encounter unexpected twists and turns and changes because of his rash behavior.

At this moment, an idea suddenly flashed through Li Jiacheng's mind, and he enthusiastically proposed:

"In that case, Mr. He, why don't we just go for afternoon tea together? I can take this opportunity to formally introduce you to my two old friends. What do you think?"

He Yuzhu hesitated for a moment and then replied, "Will this disturb your private gathering too much?"

Li Ka Shing laughed heartily and consoled him: "Haha, how could that be? Mr. He, you are really worrying too much!"

Seeing Li Jiacheng's sincere and resolute attitude, He Yuzhu stopped refusing and responded with a smile: "Well, since Boss Li has said so, I will respectfully obey your order."

So, Li Jiacheng quickly stood up, made a gesture of invitation and said:

"Mr. He, please follow me downstairs." After saying that, the two of them walked out of the room together. After arriving downstairs, they got into the car one after another, and then the car sped all the way towards the West Ring Road.

On the way, Li Ka Shing enthusiastically introduced to He Yuzhu in detail the two friends he was about to meet.

One of them was Mr. Liao Baoshan, an outstanding banker from the Chaoshan area. He successfully opened a bank called Liao Chongxing in Sai Wan and enjoyed a good reputation in the local financial community.

The other was the famous Mr. Huo Yingdong! The three of them were supposed to discuss an important business matter together that afternoon.

When He Yuzhu heard that he was going to meet these two business giants, he was extremely surprised. He had never expected that he would have the honor of meeting Mr. Huo, the legendary figure, so soon.

In the entire bustling and bustling Hong Kong, if we talk about the people that He Yuzhu admires the most, it is undoubtedly the Huo family.

The Huo family can be regarded as the most patriotic model among many Hong Kong businessmen. As early as the eve of the liberation of New China, they spared no effort to support the domestic liberation cause.

After decades of vicissitudes, his patriotism has always been steadfast and has never changed.

Soon, the vehicle arrived smoothly in front of an antique teahouse in Sai Wan.

After parking the car, the three of them walked into the teahouse together. The service staff inside the building was obviously quite familiar with Li Ka Shing. After greeting them with a smile, they led the two into an elegant private room.

Du Weifang stayed outside the door temporarily and did not follow in.

When He Yuzhu stepped into the box, he saw Liao Baoshan and Ho Ying-tung were already seated there, chatting happily.

Suddenly seeing a strange young man, the two of them couldn't help but look surprised. Li Jiacheng saw this and quickly smiled and said:

"Let me introduce you two. This is Mr. He Yuzhu."

After meeting, both parties greeted each other politely and sat down. After the waiter brought the exquisite pastries and steaming hot tea one by one, Liao Baoshan was the first to ask, "What kind of business is Mr. He engaged in?"

He Yuzhu on the opposite side smiled and replied:

"I mainly run a machinery-related business. I recently rented a factory from Mr. Li and am planning to open a machinery factory of my own."

At this time, Huo Yingdong, who had been listening quietly, suddenly interrupted and said with some surprise:

"From your accent, Mr. He, you must be from the north, right? It sounds like you're from the capital city!"

It turns out that although He Yuzhu has started to study Cantonese since coming to Hong Kong, his level is still relatively low, so he still retains a strong Beijing accent when speaking on weekdays.

Because Huo Yingdong often communicated with people from the north, he was very sensitive to this unique accent and could accurately identify the direction from the capital.

Hearing Huo Yingdong's question, He Yuzhu nodded slightly to show his agreement.

Seeing this, Huo Yingdong, who had been quite polite, suddenly became enthusiastic and said, patting his chest generously:

"In that case, if Mr. He needs any help in the future, just come to me!"

Over the next period of time, the three of them had a lively conversation about their respective experiences, industry trends and market prospects.

It was not until a long time later that Liao Baoshan finally found the right opportunity and subtly turned the topic to He Yuzhu's financial problems.

He pretended to ask casually, "Mr. He, which bank do you usually keep your funds in?"

Faced with this somewhat abrupt question, Huo Yingdong smiled slightly, understood what he meant, and tried to smooth things over for He Yuzhu, and also took the opportunity to say a few good words for Liao Baoshan.

After all, he is not only a well-known tycoon in the business world, but also one of the directors of Liao Chong Hing Bank. It is natural for him to strive for business for the bank.

In Hong Kong, a bustling city full of vitality and opportunities, its financial industry is thriving.

There are not only many powerful foreign banks here, but also many high-profile Chinese banks.

Among these Chinese banks, the largest one is Hang Seng Bank, which is like a shining pearl, shining in the sky of Hong Kong's financial world.

In comparison, the Liao Chong Hing Bank founded by Liao Baoshan is slightly inferior and can only be ranked in the second tier.

However, even so, Liao Chong Hing Bank still achieved remarkable results at this time.

According to statistics, the bank's total deposits have exceeded 100 million yuan, and about 80% of the funds have been loaned out to support various business activities and projects.

He Yuzhu has always hoped to establish closer ties with these financial institutions.

In particular, local banks with a certain influence, such as Liu Chong Hing Bank, are his main focus.

After all, most of the money he received on a daily basis was in the form of cash. If he simply placed the cash in a corner of his home, it would obviously be unsafe and would not earn any interest.

Therefore, after careful consideration, He Yuzhu finally decided to agree to open a special account in Liao Chong Hing Bank and deposit some of the cash in it.

In this way, not only can the security of funds be effectively guaranteed, but also corresponding interest returns can be enjoyed.

If you need to apply for a loan in the future, you may be able to get more favorable interest terms thanks to your good cooperative relationship with the bank.

After successfully resolving the savings issue, the topic naturally shifted to the currently popular real estate sector.

As time goes by, the overall economic situation gradually improves, and various industries have ushered in a golden period of rapid development like mushrooms after rain.

In this context, even the famous Ho Ying-tung, like Li Ka-shing, took the opportunity to set up his own real estate company and began to actively engage in the vast blue ocean of the real estate industry.

Faced with such a hot market, He Yuzhu remained relatively low-key and did not mention much about the recent plan to build an industrial building.
