Chapter 166 Building Lan Kwai Fong Group with 1 Billion Hong Kong Dollars!
Deal with such people.
Black-hearted real estate developers will definitely use brutal methods to solve the problem.
Especially in Hong Kong in the late 1970s, Hong Kong was already very developed and the laws were relatively complete, but there were still many things that were solved through social violence.
For Yang Ming, he didn't need it.
In addition to the fact that it would affect his reputation if it got out, for him, solving the problem through violence and other methods would not be of any benefit.
Mai Lisi was very clear about this matter.
In addition to not affecting the reputation and reputation of the Empire Group and Mr. Yang, he also didn't want to be forced to give these people so much money because they asked for too much.
This was actually very unfair to the owners who had already signed the acquisition contract in the early stage.
After Mai Lisi discussed with the management of Lan Kwai Fong Group.
Mai Lisi decided to solve the problem in person.
In addition to him and the senior executives of Lan Kwai Fong Group, he also brought senior lawyers from Hong Kong's law firms.
. . .
September 2, 1978.
Mai Lisi finally bought all the properties in the Lan Kwai Fong area.
During this period, Mai Lisi spent a lot of time and energy.
Compared to the original, it was much more difficult to go to Siam to acquire the ownership of Red Bull and to acquire Rediffusion's shares in Rediffusion TV.
Even so.
In the eyes of Mai Lisi, it was finally solved smoothly.
September 10, 1978.
Lan Kwai Fong Group officially held a press conference in the conference room of Empire Group.
Attending the press conference of Lan Kwai Fong Group.
In addition to the general manager of Empire Group Mai Lisi.
The general manager of Lan Kwai Fong Group Kahn.
Kahn jumped to join Empire Group after Mai Lisi became the general manager of the group.
As for the position of general manager of Lan Kwai Fong Group, Yang Ming and Mai Lisi discussed and planned to select one person from Hunt and others.
After Yang Ming talked to them, these people had no idea of leaving their positions for the time being.
The first batch of employees was 15 people.
Tang Shilian served as the financial director of Empire Group, and Lin Xiuzhi served as the secretary of the chairman of Empire Group.
Barro and Xu Qingsheng served as deputy general managers of Empire Games Company respectively.
The remaining 11 people were responsible for major stock markets around the world.
Now, the Lan Kwai Fong Group has been established, which not only has many affairs, but also has a completely different nature of work from before. After Yang Ming discussed with them, they were unwilling to leave their positions.
In this case, Kahn also had a chance.
Directly from a subordinate under Mai Lisi, he became the general manager of the Lan Kwai Fong Group.
In Yang Ming's mind, Sheng Zhiwen, a Jew, is more suitable for this position.
The Lan Kwai Fong Group in history was created by him.
However, Sheng Zhiwen is not only a Jew, but he also runs a trading company, mainly engaged in clothing trade, with good income and profit. Even if Yang Ming wants to dig him to the Empire Group as the general manager of the Lan Kwai Fong Group, he really won't be happy.
Because many Jews will not work for him.
Unless it is the financial conglomerates like those in the United States, such as Goldman Sachs, Citibank, Morgan, etc., those Jewish talents are willing to join these conglomerates as executives.
Let Sheng Zhiwen join the Empire Group and serve as the general manager of the Lan Kwai Fong Group, a subsidiary, and he may not be willing.
Since Mai Lisi thinks Kahn is feasible, let Kahn do it.
This press conference.
In addition to Mai Lisi and Kahn, there are more than ten managers of Lan Kwai Fong Group and representatives from relevant departments of the Governor's Office.
Like the tourism and culture department and the city beautification department under the Governor's Office.
That area.
In the early 1970s, the Governor's Office actually spent a lot of money on beautification, but it has never had any effect.
Now, this time the Empire Group has spent more than 1 billion Hong Kong dollars on overall investment and planning, and the Governor's Office is very supportive.
Now the outside world thinks that the investment of the Empire Group and Mr. Yang is quite funny.
Many people think that Mr. Yang may lose money.
At the press conference.
Kahn announced the overall planning plan for the Lan Kwai Fong area.
Among them, the main bars and Western restaurants.
The Lan Kwai Fong Group will first spend time inviting world-famous teachers to carry out overall planning and design for the Lan Kwai Fong area, and then spend three months to renovate it.
Before Christmas this year.
All the shops in the Lan Kwai Fong area must be renovated, and the Lan Kwai Fong Group will rent them out uniformly.
By then, Lan Kwai Fong Group will have the most bars and western restaurants in Hong Kong.
The traffic there will also be improved a lot, which will facilitate Hong Kong citizens and international tourists to spend money there, and drive the development of Hong Kong tourism.
This plan is very complete.
For the Empire Group, such an investment scale is much smaller than the acquisition of properties there.
When the press conference held by Lan Kwai Fong Group in the Empire Group conference room ended.
This news will be published in major newspapers and even on the news station of Asia Television.
If nothing unexpected happens.
Before the Lan Kwai Fong area is rented out, Hong Kong citizens have already known it.
The press conference is over.
Mai Lisi and Kahn came to the chairman's office to report to Yang Ming.
"Boss, the press conference is over."
"Ma Lisi, Kahn, do you know what is the most important thing about Lan Kwai Fong besides the overall planning, design, and decoration?"
Mai Lisi and Kahn looked at each other.
They have been thinking about the Lan Kwai Fong area for a long time, and also referred to what Yang Ming said about Soho and Montreal bars.
Basically, when it was time to think about it, they thought about it.
"Boss, tell me." Meris said hurriedly.
"Safety."
Safety is the most important thing.
Historically, Lan Kwai Fong has gradually become the most popular tourist attraction in Hong Kong under the development of Sheng Zhiwen.
Every Western holiday.
Like Halloween, Christmas Eve, Christmas, etc., in addition to the large influx of white people, there are also citizens, tourists and even international tourists from Hong Kong.
At its peak, one or two hundred thousand tourists flooded into that small place.
However, Lan Kwai Fong had a serious accident in its history.
On the evening of December 31, 1992, tens of thousands of citizens and tourists went to Lan Kwai Fong to celebrate the coming of the New Year. Giant balloons were arranged on Tak Lak Street in Central that night, and a TV station performed a program on the spot.
Near the countdown to New Year's Day, 20,000 people gathered in a small place and crowded many streets in Lan Kwai Fong. The scene began to get out of control. Some people sprayed cans of ribbons and beer and soda. They began to pour wine bottles and burn newspapers. People at the scene thought. I tried to avoid it, but there were too many people to move around, and there started to be pushing and jostling.
This accident had a huge impact on the Lan Kwai Fong Group.
In order to avoid this happening, Yang Ming knew that he had to pay attention to these things from the beginning.
Although the tourists were the ones who died, Lan Kwai Fong would have to lose money. In addition, if word spread, it will also affect his reputation.
Except for these special incidents.
Yang Ming knew even more.
Business in Lan Kwai Fong is not only during the day, but also at night.
Consumer safety is, of course, the most important thing.
There were big problems with public security in Hong Kong in the 1970s, even the 1980s, and the 1990s.
If those consumers go to Lan Kwai Fong to spend money at night and are harassed by gangsters and others, it will also affect the reputation and business of Lan Kwai Fong Group.
"In addition to Lan Kwai Fong, we must prevent special accidents such as fires and stampedes. There are also security issues. In my opinion, security is particularly important. If there is no security, consumers will not dare to go there again. "
