Hopewell Center, 183 Queen's Road East, Wanchai, Hong Kong, 66 floors high, built in 1980.

   Hopewell Center was built by Hopewell Industries Co., Ltd. It was designed by Hu Yingxiang, the chairman and architect of Hopewell Industries. It is also the headquarters of Hopewell Industries.

   On the fourth floor of the 36th to the 40th floor of Hopewell Center, the office of HSBC has moved here.

   In fact, the headquarters of HSBC was originally located at 1 Queen's Road Central.

   However, due to the economic development of Hong Kong, many high-rise buildings have been erected, especially in Central, which is known as "Hong Kong Wall Street".

   The HSBC headquarters, which had only 12 floors before, has become a short man in Central, which is not suitable for the office conditions of HSBC at this time.

   So in October 1980, an open tender was made. At the original address, the old HSBC Bank Building was demolished and the new HSBC Building headquarters was rebuilt.

   And this project has something to do with Li Zhiwen. The company that won the project cost is Gonghe Construction Engineering Company, the boss is Lu Xiaopei, and Li Zhiwen owns 40% of the shares.

   The old HSBC Building was demolished in 1981. After the construction company was determined, HSBC rented a four-story office building in Hopewell Center for temporary office work.

   Hong Kong has an inch of land, especially in Central. If it weren't for the newly built Hopewell Center and the leasing company is HSBC, otherwise the four-story office building would not be easy to rent.

   Soon after the old HSBC Building was demolished, Gonghe Construction Company entered the site.

  The new building has a total of 42 floors, and the construction period is expected to be five years. For this reason, Lu Xiaopei specially invited the modernist master Foster from the UK to serve as the supervisor.

   And for this project, Gonghe Construction Engineering Co., Ltd. is expected to make a profit of 75 million Hong Kong dollars, which is considered a relatively famous project in Hong Kong.

  Although the new HSBC Tower is only forty-two floors, there are many buildings higher than it in Central.

   But no building has a higher construction cost than HSBC Tower. The new HSBC Tower is estimated to cost 5 billion Hong Kong dollars.

   Let’s make a comparison like this. The Bank of China Tower, completed in 1989, has a total height of 70 floors, and the construction cost is only 1.3 billion Hong Kong dollars.

   The construction cost of the HSBC Tower is enough to build four Bank of China Towers.

   Moreover, the 1.3 billion Hong Kong dollars of the Bank of China Building had gone through the Hong Kong currency crisis in 1983, and it could not be compared with the 5 billion Hong Kong dollars of the HSBC Building.

   Of course, saying so much here is not to increase the ambition of others and destroy one's own prestige.

   Instead, I want to explain that HSBC has invested a lot of money in the construction of this building.

   Although the five billion Hong Kong dollars were not invested together, it is definitely possible to invest more than one billion Hong Kong dollars in the early stage.

   And these billions of Hong Kong dollars may cause certain harm to HSBC under the right circumstances.

  Of course, it is impossible to cause HSBC to fail. This kind of thing cannot be done in future generations. How can Li Zhiwen do it.

   However, it is still possible for Li Zhiwen to obtain a part of the benefits, and Li Zhiwen wants to negotiate with HSBC on the Hutchison Whampoa issue for this reason. Of course, this is only the basis.

   If you want to know the magical effect of this situation, I have to talk about it later. Let me first talk about the issue of Hehe Center.

   A Rolls-Royce car stopped in front of the Hopewell Center. Li Jiacheng and Li Ze got out of the car twice according to his father and son.

   Li Jiacheng looked up at the towering Hehe Center, then glanced at the Rolls Royce parked aside.

   then said, "Ze Shi, seal up this car after I go back, and get me a new one."

   According to some doubts, Li Ze suddenly realized it again, so he said: "I see, father."

   According to Li Ze, Li Jiacheng’s move is not about the car, but about the car manufacturer.

   After all, Li Zhiwen acquired Rolls-Royce Motor Manufacturing Company not long ago. If there is no such thing, the car can be used, but at this time, it is not suitable to use the opponent's car.

   Li Jiacheng didn't say much, and then walked towards the Hehe Center.

   The elevator went straight up to the fortieth floor. Speaking of which, HSBC was temporarily staying at Hopewell Center.

The treatment given by Hopewell Center is indeed good. After HSBC moved in, Hopewell Center’s property directly allocated five elevators exclusively for HSBC. You must know that Hopewell Center has only 22 passenger elevators in total. It's just a freight elevator.

   For this reason, the elevator was not very congested, and soon reached the fortieth floor.

   Afterwards, Li Jiacheng, led by the secretary of the Sandus Taipan, saw the helm of HSBC Bank at this time, and Li Zezhe was not qualified and could only wait in the rest area.

   "Mr. Sandus, good afternoon!" Li Jiacheng smiled and walked to the desk to speak as soon as he entered the office.

   "Hello, Li, I am very glad to see you!" Sundars said with a smile.

   Then Sundarshi told Baris: "Baris can make a cup of tea for Mr. Li."

  Paris nodded to indicate that she knew, and then went to the side to get busy.

   And Sandus went on to say: "Li, try the Longjing that my Chinese friend brought."

   "It's a great honor!" Li Jiacheng said.

   After that, Paris made her tea soon, and then left the office.

   "Well, Li, you can tell, what can I do if you are so anxious?" Sandus asked.

   Sundarshi and Shen Bi have different personalities. Shen Bi likes to hide and seek~www.readwn.com~ but Sundarshi likes to get straight to the point.

   And Li Jiacheng, who knows Sundars very well, naturally doesn't have anything, and directly said: "Presumably Mr. Sundars also knows about the problem of Hutchison Whampoa at this time."

   "Understand a little!" Sandus said.

"That's right. I'm here to seek the support of the HSBC Bank. Li Zhiwen's actions are too unremarkable. Under this circumstance, I want to take Hutchison Whampoa. Isn't this the right thing for you? I can take charge of Hutchison Whampoa because of you and Mr. Shen Bi."

   "And at this moment, Li Zhiwen is not doing this to slap you in the face? So I have come to seek your support." Li Jiacheng said.

   "Lee, what support do you want?" Sundars asked calmly without being angry as he imagined.

   As Shen Bi’s successor, Sundars understands that banks are not divided into British Chinese, but only divided into interests.

   Similarly, banks have no friends, only interests.

   If Li Jiacheng can't bring any benefits to HSBC, Sundars will definitely not end easily.

   Sundars believes in Shen Bi’s words that banks are just financial institutions, not family members, so everything is based on interests, and everything else is not important.

   If there is an interest in trading with the devil, Sundars may complete the deal with the devil, so Sundars is not fooled by Li Jiacheng's tricks.
