Noon, two o'clock.

Inside a restaurant in Wan Chai.

"Mr. Hu, I have admired you for a long time. This is the first time we meet. Please take care of me." Zhang Guobin wore a suit and walked into the box. He saw that Hu Yingxiang and Hei Chai were already at the main seat. After sitting down at the guest seat, Hu Yingxiang looked at him.

After entering the door, he stood up and said, "Mr. Zhang, please sit down."

"Mr. Hu, just call me Abin." Zhang Guobin obeyed the courtesy of a junior and sat down in the second seat on the right. There were only three chairs in the large box, and the three of them sat at the head of the dining table.

They made a corner, and there was a pot of daffodils in the middle of the dining table.

Hu Yingxiang said with a smile: "Hutchison has such a distinguished disciple. I should have come to meet him long ago, but it's a pity that Brother Chai never told me."

"I really admire the way you do things."

Hei Chai stood by and said, "Mr. Hu, please don't praise me. Be careful of this junior's buttocks. It's time to spank him when the time comes."

"Brother Chai likes to joke. Abin, tell the waiter what you like to eat." Hu Yingxiang joked a few words and turned around to gesture to Zhang Guobin. Zhang Guobin said politely: "The guest does as he pleases, Hu

Just order, sir."

Hu Yingxiang nodded and did not refuse. He turned around and told the restaurant manager: "As usual, plate a few specialty dishes and don't waste too much."

"I got it, Mr. Hu." The restaurant manager held his notebook with a serious expression on his face, but didn't remember a single word. He turned around and left the box.

Hu Yingxiang was born in Huadu, Guangdong Province, and was born in Xiangjiang.

His father, Hu Zhong, was the "King of Taxi" in Xiangjiang in his early years. He first drove a taxi and truck to make a living. After working hard for more than 30 years, he owned more than half of the number of "taxi" in Xiangjiang. Later, due to the company's too many "taxi"

, I bought land to build a parking lot and unexpectedly made some money in real estate, so I started to do real estate business on the side.

When he arrived at Hu Yingxiang, he started working in the real estate and construction industry and established "Hehe Industrial". It was a smooth journey and he was one of the first express trains of real estate in Hong Kong in the 1960s.

Hu Yingxiang graduated from Princeton University in the United States with a major in Civil Engineering. He is both a real estate developer and an architectural designer. The representative work of Hehe Industrial is the "Hehe Building" that he personally designed.

Zhang Guobin inquired with Hei Chai in the morning and found out that Hu Yingxiang's father was a double-bonus stick in the "Hutchison" brand. After all, in the 1930s, the political and business world in Hong Kong was in darkness, and it was impossible to leave the club's back when doing any business.

.Not to mention recruiting manpower to deal with the "taxi" industry from all sides.

The first pot of gold for Hu Yingxiang's father may have been the Hong Kong paper that he risked his life to obtain.

Of course, Hu Yingxiang has been completely cleansed, and he has not even entered the trade name, but he still has inextricable ties with the "Hutchison" club. He is the main water pipe and the big boss of many "Hutchison" clubs.

Many Hutchison clubs have Ma Chai working for Hu Yingxiang.

This gave Hu Yingxiang a transcendent status in Hutchison.

After hearing what Hei Chai said, Zhang Guobin knew that Hu Yingxiang was a successful person who had truly climbed from hell to heaven with the efforts of two generations.

Naturally, this kind of outstanding person cannot be underestimated.

"Thank you, Mr. Hu, for the invitation." Zhang Guobin raised his glass of wine and was very particular about etiquette. Hu Yingxiang was not a person who liked to show off and show off.

He moved his chopsticks a few times, drank a glass of wine, and said proactively: "Two months ago, I contracted the construction business of a building to Shenghe, but Shenghe killed people and stopped the building for two weeks. I'm leaving.

It depends on the deputy director of construction to settle the matter."

This is Shenghe causing trouble for the big boss.

"But I heard that you dealt with the shop owners on Fa Yuen Street and Tung Choi Street easily and simply. In addition to using your fists, you also know how to use your brain."

"Shenghe, Shengyi, Hefu, Hetu... there are a lot of clubs down there, but you are the only one who seems to be doing business when you are dealing with the project."

"Mr. Hu, thank you for the award." Zhang Guobin said modestly.

His expression was attentive but he was listening.

"No." Hu Yingxiang shook his head and said with emotion: "The sales method of model houses is very good. They just appeared on the streets yesterday, and today they are presented to the desks of major real estate owners."

"I know that Huayuan Street is Yihai's territory. If I call Brother Chai, I will know that you are good at doing business and look like an upright businessman."

In fact, real big bosses don't like people who do things too much, and they are even more wary of corporate backgrounds. They live in a state of aloofness, use but no dependence.

Zhang Guobin also has this style invisibly.

So, Hu Yingxiang said: "So, I prefer to do business with Zhengxing merchants. If you plan to continue in the construction industry, you can expand the scale of the construction company and take over Hehe's construction projects in the future."

The real estate market in Xiangjiang is experiencing a chill.

This does not mean that real estate developers have completely stopped work.

Making money in a bull market is not a skill, but maintaining a profit in a bear market is talent.

Hu Yingxiang's Hehe Industrial Co., Ltd. currently has a project under construction, and compared to the work methods of Shenghe and Shengyi societies, he prefers Taizibin from Yihai.

However, while eating, Zhang Guobin reminisced and finally realized that the foundation of "Hehe Industrial" lies not only in real estate, but also in government infrastructure projects.

And it’s a government infrastructure project in cooperation with the mainland!

Otherwise, how could Hu Yingxiang be known as the "Infrastructure King"?

In 1980, Hu Yingxiang went north to invest. His first project was the Guangcheng Hotel, which was the best hotel in Guangcheng at that time. Construction started last year and opened in 1984. After recovering the investment cost, he decisively handed over the hotel management rights to Guangzhou.

The city government serves as a certificate of investment.

This year, Hu Yingxiang also proposed the construction of the Guangzhou-Shenzhen Expressway to the mainland and signed the "Guangzhou-Shenzhen Archway Expressway Willing Cooperation Letter". This project was approved in 1984 with an investment of 12.2 billion. It took 13 years to open to traffic and was the first expressway in the country.

The six-lane round trip directly promoted the economic development of Guangdong Province. This battle made Hu Sheng famous all over the country, and he attended meetings!

Zhang Guobin unexpectedly discovered that Hu Sheng's investment ideas were consistent with his, and the benefits of the infrastructure industry were invisible to ordinary citizens but tangible to businessmen. Once the Guangzhou-Shenzhen Expressway was opened to traffic, "Yihai-China-Hong Kong" would soar into the sky!

At the same time, Humen Bridge and Zhuhai-Hong Kong-Macao Bridge were both vigorously promoted and completed by Hu Yingxiang. This "going north" and "infrastructure" investment method is very consistent with Zhang Guobin's development route.

Zhang Guobin immediately agreed: "Thank you Mr. Hu for your attention. Guobin Construction will expand its business appropriately and undertake the projects of Hehe Industrial."

At this time, Hu Yingxiang's net worth surpassed that of Li Changjiang.

However, Zhang Guobin knew that if he got on Mr. Hu’s car, Li Changjiang would be on the opposite side!

Because both Hu and Li are Xiangjiang real estate tycoons, but unlike Hu's "going north" and "infrastructure" development route, Li Changjiang pursues the "pier" and "real estate speculation" route.

Li Changjiang's "Hutchison Whampoa" was one of the world's largest port groups at that time. There were a total of 21 container terminals in Xiangjiang at that time, and Li Changjiang took over 13 of them. To a certain extent, terminal transportation was the seal of Li's wealth empire.

Banknote machine, and once the land infrastructure is improved, the share of terminal transportation will be further reduced.

Li Changjiang wants to make money from the mainland by using the docks to collect "taxes". In addition to making infrastructure construction easier for the citizens and the government, it is not conducive to him to make a lot of money.

Real estate speculation? Get land cheaply, hoard land without developing it, break promises, dump the land and cash out.

That's him!

Zhang Guobin did not say how much he disliked Li Changjiang, but his previous work experience made him deeply wary of Li Changjiang. Instead of cooperating with Li Changjiang, who is a cannibal, cooperating with Hu Yingxiang is a very good choice, at least

Hu Yingxiang had certain sentiments and even sided with the mainland, which was consistent with his "go north" policy.

In the past two years, we have contracted construction projects and expanded the scale of the construction team. Next year and the next year, we will be able to buy the real estate market at the bottom!

Moreover, by joining forces with Hu Yingxiang to carry out infrastructure construction, there is no need to worry about the engineering team not being able to work. Is there still a shortage of infrastructure projects in the mainland?

Hu Yingxiang heard Zhang Guobin agree readily and nodded: "Okay."

"If you have any business matters in the future, please contact my assistant directly." He held the bowl in one hand and waved the chopsticks in the other. A male assistant next to him stepped forward and handed over his business card, and Zhang Guobin accepted it.

The meal didn't last long, and the conversation lasted less than ten minutes. After about twenty minutes, Hu Yingxiang got up and left, going back to the company to handle matters. Zhang Guobin and Hei Chai walked back to the company with Boss Hu.

After Boss Hu took the elevator upstairs, Zhang Guobin took out the business card and played with it between his fingers.

"Abin, what do you think?" He walked on the street with a black firewood stick and a black Tang suit.

Zhang Guobin said frivolously: "If you have money to make, then make it."

"Yeah." Hei Chai said noncommittally.

After Zhang Guobin reached an agreement with Boss Hu, he began to expand the "Guobin Building" on a large scale. The main method of expansion was to attract the "class leader" by offering preferential treatment and generous treatment.

The construction teams under the construction company are all composed of "team leaders" and their own people. Some are fellow villagers and some are from the same village. In short, everyone knows how to stay together and strive for benefits.

The "class leader" is the link between the construction company and its employees. Poaching moderators is equivalent to poaching movie directors, and it involves poaching even the entire crew.

But now that the market is in a downturn, other companies can't take on projects and can't pay wages. So when I see a boss who is expanding and offers good conditions, how can I say no?

Within two months, Guobin Construction expanded to a construction company with more than 1,000 people, and basically invested all the income from Huayuan Street and Tongcai Street.

This piece of money meant that Zhang Guobin didn't have a penny in his account.

Fortunately, "Hong Kong Flag Soldier II" has a box office record of 8.03 million, "Happy Ghost II" has a box office of 15.7 million, and "A Better Tomorrow II" has a box office record of 13 million.

The box office of "Flag Soldiers of Province and Hong Kong II" was not as good as the first one, which shows that the competitiveness has declined. However, Chen Kui'an and Xu Jingjiang still relied on "Flag Soldiers of Province and Hong Kong II" to become famous and embark on the road of acting.

As the second part of the Happy Ghost series, "Happy Ghost's Summer Vacation" is just right for the summer season. It grossed 1,570 at the local box office and became the number one summer box office hit. "A Better Tomorrow II" ranked second at the summer box office.

The sales trend has started high and gone low, which shows that the loss of word-of-mouth is not small, but the two movies still made money for Mr. Zhang like crazy.

Part of the earnings from DreamWorks can already be used for investment in other industries.

Zhang Guobin plans to try his hand at the real estate industry next year and make real estate his second sole proprietorship.

"Happy Ghost II" and "A Better Tomorrow II" both used the quota for export films, and it is expected that a large wave of overseas box office receipts will be received.

Zhang Guobin was a little surprised.

The first large-scale project that Hu Yingxiang handed over to Guobin Construction was the commercial building project on Park Lane Shopping Avenue in Tsim Sha Tsui.

This project is exactly the one that Shenghe used to demolish dead people.
