The Portable Farm in the Siheyuan

Among all the Hong Kong governors, Bai Liji was considered to be the more capable one and the one who treated Hong Kong better. He had just taken over and had some revenge.

This is also true. In order to cope with the heavy pressure on society caused by the large number of refugees, Bai Liji began to promote social construction, including the construction of the Queen Elizabeth Hospital, the Hong Kong City Hall and the founding of the Chinese University of Hong Kong.

In addition, the "Low-rent Housing Project" was launched to actively improve the living standards of citizens. In his later years as Hong Kong Governor, successive years of floods and droughts prompted him to build reservoirs and take the lead in purchasing Dongjiang water from the mainland to relieve water shortages.

The other one is a native of Edinburgh, Scotland, and he doesn't like the Eagle Country very much. He has the same origin as Ireland and the Isle of Man, so they are naturally very close to each other. This "fellow countryman", His Excellency the Viscount, is very to his liking. .

The two people communicated very speculatively. Bai Liji warmly welcomed Mo Bin's large investment. These are urgently needed investments in Hong Kong, which can stimulate the sluggish economy and provide many jobs.

Mo Bin also expressed strong support for his plan and put forward his own ideas. He himself funded the construction of a group of comprehensive universities. He could merge several existing junior colleges and add several disciplines. The most important thing is medicine.

Mainly because he wanted to build a large general hospital. As an affiliated hospital of the university, it could not only help the world and the people, but also conduct academic research.

Bai Liji's eyes lit up. He was no stranger to private universities and private hospitals. The world-famous Harvard University had this model. Mo Bin's ideas were basically based on Harvard.

This matter is too big and cannot be decided by Bai Liji with a slap on the forehead, but after the two of them have discussed it, there is probably no resistance.

There are no problems with funds and policies. The biggest problem is the land. After all, it is a private university and hospital. Mo Bin needs to pay for the purchase and comply with the procedures.

In his previous life, the location in Tai Po, Shatin, was very good. It had mountains behind it and faced the sea. The location was perfect. In his opinion, the area was not big enough. The north side should be zoned to the foot of the mountain. Needless to say, the east and south sides were directly to the seaside.

The west side is easier to handle, as long as it borders a bustling residential area. The hospital will be placed on the west side without asking, and the faculty and staff living area and student dormitories will also be placed on the west side.

Of course, villas and luxury apartments need to be built on the seaside and at the foot of the mountains. Whether they are sold to external parties or provided to outstanding professors and high-end talents, they will not be wasted. I will keep a few of them.

This location has mountains on three sides, a bay on one side, and a special subway line passing through it. If you plan carefully in the future, it will definitely be a place popular with the top rich.

A natural haven where they can park their yachts, the surrounding hills where professional golf courses, large seaside villas, and private helicopters can be built, a quiet university campus that separates ordinary people, and a private luxury high-level hospital, basically satisfy All the needs of Hong Kong tycoons.

Of course, at present, the conditions are not quite met. First, universities will be the main focus, and hospitals will be the supplement. We will just have to make plans for the rest. We will wait until the conditions mature in the future.

Regarding Mo Bin's proposal to purchase the Sham Shui Po site for the construction of a large clothing factory and the Quarry Tsui site for the construction of a newspaper center, Bai Liji gave strong support. This involved people's livelihood issues.

First, let’s talk about large garment factories. There are thousands of workers, and each person basically represents a family. The involvement is huge, and it will drive an industrial chain, not just a factory.

At this stage, what Xiangjiang lacks is labor-intensive enterprises, which can accommodate more and more immigrant laborers. Once the employment pressure is solved, other things can be slowly improved. If there is no work, we are counting on government relief, and the outcome can be imagined. .

Mo Bin knew very well that there had been a giant company in the garment industry in Xiangjiang, namely United Garments. However, with the development of the times, the cheap land and cheap labor in the mainland had a great impact on them. The key is that they did not create It is not a long-term solution to build your own brand solely through outsourced processing and A-grade goods.

He not only wants to build a super clothing factory, but also a shoe factory, and it needs to be clearly divided, including contract processing, A-grade goods, and its own brand, with distinctions between leisure, suit, sports and other types. .

In this way, the scale will be very large. It is necessary to find a suitable place to build an industrial park. The conditions must also be proposed. The staff housing and apartment buildings supporting the living area must be allowed to be built by themselves.

Mo Bin actually started playing real estate in disguise. Now that the public housing project has just started and the small house rights have not yet started, he has followed Yida's example and played on the sidelines.

What he is looking for is in front of Tai Kok Tsui Pier. For such a large factory to be built, even if the operation is completed, it will still need a pier. Although there are many piers next to it, it is not as convenient as his own home. Besides, there are no people here, so he can start construction directly. Construction, basically no need to consider demolition issues.

The current layout is to take advantage of the fact that the real estate has not developed yet, occupy as much land as possible, and also occupy the beautiful land on the seaside. He did it even more brilliantly and directly occupied the small pier.

Most of the guests were foreigners. Everyone greeted a young viscount with smiles. He was a noble and had a high title. This is Western etiquette.

What's more important is that this young man has a wealth of more than 200 million US dollars and is investing wildly around the world. The Governor of Hong Kong invited him to talk and laugh, and introduced several department heads to him. A group of people chatted around him. No one was a fool. !

There are quite a lot of Chinese rich people. Mo Bin met the young boss Lei and he greeted him very warmly. It was said that he was a participant in the Northern Dynasty Campaign, so he was indirectly helped.

Mo Bin greeted the Ye family, Ding family, Shao family, Zheng family, Zhou family, Li family, Mai family, Huo family, Bai family, Ma family and other wealthy families with the same courtesy, but there was not much communication.

In addition to these rich people, there are also a group of special people in the venue, that is, the stars of this period, the "Three Princesses", the Five Golden Flowers, the top ten handsome young men, as well as well-known people from the opera industry, literary circles, and Hong Kong entertainment circles. The top floor is here.

Just as the banquet was coming to an end and the host Mo Bin was delivering a speech, he announced an explosive news that made everyone marvel at his strength and full of curiosity about him, that is, the Hollywood film company he wanted to acquire had signed!

This company is not an ordinary company, but Universal Pictures. Universal is the second oldest film company in Hollywood. It was founded in 1912 and is one of the representatives of Hollywood.

Although the company is currently in a period of decline, a skinny camel is bigger than a horse. What's more, he also acquired a record company at the same time, which still cost him 1.7 million US dollars.

In the early 1952s, Universal Corporation and Warner Universal Pictures Equipment Company merged to form Warner Universal International Corporation. In , Decca Records restored its old name after purchasing a majority of Universal International's stock, and the company was later owned by Music Corporation of America (MCA).

What Mo Bin is acquiring now is Universal International, which was completely acquired from MCA, including film and television equipment, music and record companies, and of course the huge Universal City.

No one knows that Comrade Mo Bin's funds are not very sufficient, mainly because he deceived two banks to support him, otherwise his funds can only buy one Universal Pictures.

The lack of funds also made Mo Bin less worried. He entrusted Standard Chartered Bank to buy another 30 million US dollars in London gold futures. He still used ten times leverage because the price of gold had risen.

Adding it all up, Mo Bin invested a total of 6500 million U.S. dollars, using ten times leverage, which is 6.5 million U.S. dollars. Based on a comprehensive income of 14%, that is 9100 million U.S. dollars. After deducting various bank fees, there is still enough left. The price is about US$8500 million, which is enough to cover half of the acquisition cost.
