Hardy Empire 1945

  Chapter 244 Planning a new industry

  From the next day, Han Yezhen led the design team to inspect the plots. Victor now has five plots in his hand, and Han Yezhen can choose whatever he wants.

  If she likes other plots, Victor will find a way to buy them. The beach is not good. Han Yizhen thinks it is too humid, Sha Tin is not good, and it is too remote. In the end, it mainly depends on the land under Jiulongtang and Lion Rock.

   Dragging his exhaustion back to the house of the old man Situ, the old man asked the servants to bring the stew soup, "how is it, have you found a suitable place?"

  Han Yizhen took a sip of soup and said, “The land under both Jiulongtang and Lion Rock is suitable, but the Jiulongtang side has already been determined to be an industrial area. If a large area of ​​factories is built, it would be nonsense to include a museum."

   "It is true."

  Master Situ nodded, "Can't you go under the Lion Rock?"

   "Yes, if the land under the Lion Rock is determined, in order to protect the safety of the museum, it will occupy a large area. The current map is very crude. We are surveying the terrain to see which place is suitable." Han Yizhen said.

  Master Situ thought for a while.

   "I know a good master, do you need to show him Feng Shui?" the old man said.

   "Master Feng Shui?"

  Han Yezhen’s father is also an architect. In addition to studying Western architecture, Han’s father has also studied some Chinese architecture. Since he wants to study Chinese architecture, he naturally has to be exposed to Feng Shui, so there are also some books on Feng Shui at home.

After Han Yezhen studied architecture by herself, she also read books on Feng Shui more or less. She once asked her father how to view Feng Shui. Father Han thought about Feng Shui and said to her daughter: "I believe in the existence of Feng Shui in architecture, but I am not superstitious in Feng Shui in architecture. But don’t be too persistent."

  At this time, the food was on the table. The grandparents and grandchildren were eating while the old man Situ told Han Yezhen about the matter of Mr. Yu.

"The master I'm talking about is Cai Lianfang. His father Cai Zubai once served as the Qin Tianjian in the Qing Dynasty. Later, when the Qing Dynasty fell, Cai Zuidai took his son Cai Lianfang and wandered around. At that time, the land of China was full of flames and the warlords were separatist, and finally settled in Hong Kong. "

"Cai Lian imitated his family, inherited his father’s business, studied Zhouyi and geomancy deeply, and gradually became a well-known geomancy master on Hong Kong Island. You also know that Hong Kong’s three religions are nine-class, and Cai’s family will inevitably come across unreasonable ones. Once he asked me, I I helped him solve the trouble."

  "As long as I am in Hong Kong, Cai Lianfang will visit once or twice a year. He has a son named Cai Boli, who also inherited the Fengshui knowledge of the Cai family. Although he is only 26 or 27 years old this year, he is already well-known in Hong Kong."

  "If you need it, I will call someone to inform them tomorrow, and let them look at it for you, maybe some help." Old Situ said.

  Han Yezhen knows that grandpa is kind, after all, people here in Hong Kong believe in Feng Shui.

  Han Yezhen smiled and said, "Grandpa taught me to "listen and be clear". Maybe it's really helpful. Then please give me a call."

  The old man smiled, "Eat, eat more, come here from the United States, are you accustomed to eating Chinese food every day?"

   "Hehe, my appetite is a combination of Chinese and Western." Han Yizhen said with a smile.

  The next day.

  Han Yejin’s team has two more people, a middle-aged man in his fifties, wearing a gray cloth gown, and a young man in his twenties, wearing a suit.

   These two people are the master Cai Lianfang and his son Cai Boli.

Everyone turned around a few more places, and finally came to the land under the Lion Rock. Two foreign designers kept reading the map. Cai Lianfang and his son Cai Boli turned around, holding a compass for positioning, and chatting from time to time. .

  Han Yezhen looked at the two and asked, "Master Cai, what do you think of the environment here and is it suitable for building a museum?"

  Cai Lianfang handed the compass to his son and said, "Miss Han, to be honest, building a museum here is actually a waste."

  Han Yizhen is slightly surprised.

"Why do you say that?"

  Cai Lian imitated: “Museums are mainly collections. As long as you avoid fire and water, it’s basically no problem, and this piece of land is obviously a treasure.”

  "Hong Kong’s dragon power, you need to watch the dragon without observing the situation. The dragon is powerful and you need to trace its traces. The coastal areas are looking for dragons, the water is scattered, and the water is flooded, so it is expensive to find the dragon."

  "Look, Miss Han~~"

  Cai Lian pointed to Lion Rock.

  "The "Lion" of Lion Rock has its head, body and tail. The head of the lion faces the west of Kowloon, and the body and tail of the lion are lying on the mountain. The land of Kowloon is within its guard range."

"This Lion Rock comes from the grassy hills and the Dawei Mountain Range. After crossing the gorge, it raises its head and forms the Lion Rock, and a small portion of it crouched down to the Wong Tai Sin area. It’s not big, but it’s backed by the mountains and the sea, nestled in the dragon’s veins, and the terrain resembles a "bat carrying a basket". It has excellent feng shui. Whether it is building a house or a business, it is guarded by the Lion Mountain. There are no taboos.

   Cai Lianfang said a big deal. To be honest, Han Yezhen only understood three points, but she understood a few points. This place is very good, and everything is suitable.

   But Cai Lian's words are not over yet, and continue: "But there is only one thing to be cautious."

   "What?" Han Yezhen asked.

  "Feng Shui pays attention to topography and topography. The topography of Lion Rock has been established and cannot be destroyed. Once it is destroyed, the Feng Shui here may change, and it will be difficult to say whether it is good or bad at the time."

  The survey is over and everyone goes back.

  Such a large project cannot be decided in a day or two.

Han Yezhen returned to Mr. Situ’s house. The old man just put down the phone and said with a smile when his granddaughter came back: "Just now Cai Lianfang called me and told me about the situation, saying that the land under the Lion Rock is very good, and even said It is a pity to build a museum. If a house is built, it will increase the fortune of the master’s fortune."

  Han Yezhen smiled, “I can make it into a museum, and I can make Hadi’s fortune.”

  Old Situ smiled and shook his head.

  Although Han Yezhen already felt that the terrain under the Lion Rock was good and suitable for building a museum, he still sent a telegram to Hadi.

After receiving the telegram, Hardy read it carefully and thought about it and replied: "The museum is set under the Lion Rock. All the 180 acres of land are allocated to the museum. In addition, Victor will buy the land around the Lion Rock to guarantee the Lion Rock. The future will not be destroyed."

  180 acres of land, which is almost 720,000 square meters. If there is no concept, the area of ​​the Forbidden City is almost 720,000 square meters.

  As for the Lion Rock, although no one can move the Lion Rock now, decades later, Hardy never underestimated the destructive power of human beings.

  Hadi is white-skinned and yellow-hearted. He would rather believe in this set. When his company opened, he read the almanac by himself.

   Isn’t it just a little money? If you buy it, you can even convert it into a park in the future.

  It will not be easy to find such a fengshui place in the future. Since it is a fengshui place, then keep him.

  Hadi added another sentence at the end of the telegram, “You can hire the Cai family and his son to be the queen Fengshui master of the Hong Kong branch of the Hardy Group.”

  Received Hardy’s reply, Han Yizhen was finally determined and asked the construction team to start formally discussing the construction.

  As for the acquisition of the land, it was naturally handed over to Victor. Victor received the order from the boss and immediately found the government land management office for inquiries. Luckily, the land still belongs to the government, but the government has no idea of ​​taking out the mountains.

  Because there is a reservoir further up, which is one of the reservoirs for the residents of Kowloon to draft water. In order to protect the surrounding environment and water and soil resources, the Planning Office has set this area as an indestructible area.

  "After we buy, we will not destroy it, but want to build a park so that it will not destroy the landform."

  The person in charge of the Planning Department is also difficult to decide.

   "I need to ask your Excellency the Governor."

Finally, he found Governor Grantham. Victor told him clearly that the Hardy Group bought this land not for development, but precisely to protect the landform. Some Feng Shui masters said that if the Lion Mountain landform is destroyed, the land under their feet will be destroyed. Fengshui of the land will be destroyed, so the Lion Rock will be bought.

  Gelenghong thought for a while, and finally agreed to sell, but he asked to sign an agreement that would not cause extensive damage to the Lion Rock landform. Victor agreed to sign.

  More than 300 acres of mountains around Lion Rock, all sold to Hardy Group for a total price of 550,000 pounds, the barren mountains in Hong Kong are really cheap now.

  In the future, all mountains around Lion Rock, including the reservoir, will be owned by Hardy Group.

  The museum has entered the formal construction stage.

  During this period, Hardy has been working on supermarket chains and logistics companies. These two companies were planned by Hardy long ago and included in the company's three-year plan.

  Some time ago, Hardy Group issued a job advertisement, recruiting two presidents, and asked them to form a team.

  The teams of these two companies conducted business inspections separately to make future construction plans and plans for Hardy.

President of the supermarket chain Sam Wharton. Sam Wharton is 33 years old. He ran a supermarket at home before he became a soldier. After World War II, he worked as a soldier for several years. After the war, he went home and continued to open a supermarket. A few years later, he developed into a medium-sized supermarket. , Has relatively rich operating experience.

  Unfortunately, a fire last year turned his supermarket to ashes, and for this he also carried a lot of debt.

  After Hardy Group released the information about the president of the recruitment, Sam Wharton came to apply. His philosophy is very similar to Hardy. He knows how to satisfy customers and is good at sales. So Hardy hired him as the president of the supermarket chain.

  Salary is an annual salary + dividend model, and Sam Wharton is very satisfied with the salary given by the boss.

  As for the logistics company, it recruited a former vice president of United Parcel Service of America, called ***. Hunter, and Hardy’s salary was also an annual salary + dividend model.

  Although there are already supermarkets in the U.S., there are no large-scale supermarket chains covering the entire United States. It is very difficult to manage such a large-scale supermarket.

  It is not difficult to build a supermarket, but it can be very difficult to operate. A large supermarket may involve 20,000 to 30,000 companies and more than 100,000 kinds of products. This requires a strong management team.

And how to attract customers, what are your advantages? Hardy’s strategy is “high quality and low price”. This is not to talk about, but really needs to be done. Only when the price is cheaper than others can it be really attracted. To the customer.

  This is even more difficult.

  Hadi means to find a merchant to sign a contract. The supermarket does not invest in the purchase of goods, but is equivalent to consignment sales here. The supermarket charges a certain percentage of fees or deducts points. The planning team is not sure about this.

  After all, no one has played like this before.

There is also logistics. So many products need to be operated, and a very powerful logistics system is needed, and this logistics system must be very professional. According to their calculations, 20-25 large logistics warehouses may be built in the United States~www.readwn. com~ Hardy thought for a while.

   "First build a few to try the water, we also need to train the team and suppliers, logistics companies also need to run in, Los Angeles and San Francisco do you think it is more appropriate to open?"

   "Three in Los Angeles and two in San Francisco. We have inspected the locations before." Someone said and took out the map.

  Hadi looked and found that they were all located in the suburbs, but they were all beside the main traffic roads. Before, Hardy told the team not to build in the central area of ​​the city.

  One is that the land in the central area is expensive, and the available area is small. There is also a more important reason. In the future, the more the city center, the more poor people will be.

  In the Chinese concept, the city center represents prosperity, wealth, convenience and safety, and the suburbs represent remoteness, poverty, inconvenience and insecurity, but in the United States, the opposite is true.

  Relief agencies are in the center of the city, and relief houses are also in the city. Later, the city center became a paradise for the poor. It’s okay now, but it is getting worse in the later period.

  In order to avoid trouble, Hardy intends to build in the suburbs from the beginning. Of course, these places are also carefully selected. These areas will have good development in the future, even if the land is sold at that time, it will be able to make a lot of money.
