Reborn since 1993

Chapter 1193 You can eat whatever you want, but you can't say whatever you want.

As Li Dongling looked around, the entire Cyberport Global Technology Centre was still a huge construction site, with various mechanical equipment constantly moving around, kicking up clouds of dust.

However, several buildings have already sprung up both inside and outside the Cyberport Industrial Park. The buildings inside the Cyberport Industrial Park include two office buildings, a software R&D center, and a data center.

This is only the first phase of the project. More buildings will be completed in the Cyberport Industrial Park, filling the entire park.

Directly opposite Cyberport Global Centre is a cluster of buildings with different functions, including a hospital, school, food street, Bel-Air restaurants, hotel, shopping mall, and cafes. These are all supporting facilities built for the staff of Cyberport Global Centre.

But what the people of Hong Kong really care about are the residences and apartments in Bel-Air!
In this port city where land is incredibly valuable, housing is always the focus of attention for its residents, and this will remain true for decades to come.

Even though Soros shorted the port city last year, the port city's housing prices have plummeted, and many real estate companies have even gone bankrupt due to broken capital chains.

However, the decline is relative. Compared to income, housing prices in the port city remain quite stable. At least for countless people in the port city, those who cannot afford a house still cannot afford one.

This is like giving away Lamborghini coupons. It's a car worth millions, what's the point of giving away a Lamborghini coupon for 20 yuan?

However, the technical engineers in Hong Kong are quite interested in the residential options at Cyberport Global Technology Centre after hearing some rumors about them.

Technical and management personnel who join Cyberport will have the opportunity to apply for talent apartments or residences in Bel-Air. As for the cost, they only need to pay management fees, electricity fees, water fees, etc.

In addition, if your company moves into the industrial park, you will have a chance to apply for a 35-square-meter talent apartment in Beisha Bay at a low price.

If you are a hired technical expert or the owner of a technology company located in Cyberport Global Technology Centre, you can purchase an 80-square-meter "luxury house" in Bel-Air Bay as long as your company's valuation reaches a certain level.

An 80-square-meter apartment is nothing special in inland areas, except for places like Beijing, Shanghai, and Guangzhou where land is incredibly valuable.

In Hong Kong, an 80-square-meter apartment is already the most affordable "luxury" home for the middle class. Even minor celebrities in Hong Kong can only afford an apartment of this size.

Of course, there are also two luxury mansions in Bel-Air, which are basically houses over 100 square meters, and mainly large single-level apartments. However, the prices may be "slightly" a hundred million more expensive.

"The Cyberport Global Technology Centre Industrial Park and the Bel-Air residential project must be completed on schedule; there can be no delays!"

Li Dongling withdrew his gaze and said to Lin Xianhui beside him, "You should know that the current project costs tens of millions of Hong Kong dollars every day just for the food and supplies of the people and horses. The entire Cyberport project has already invested more than 3 billion Hong Kong dollars, and a lot more Hong Kong dollars will be needed in the future."

Of course, Cyberport itself only contributed about one-fifth of these funds; the rest were basically borrowed from banks.

Li Dongling didn't expect these projects to yield immediate results, but he at least wanted to demonstrate their progress so that he could continue to borrow funds from the bank.

"I understand, please rest assured, Mr. Li!"

Lin Xianhui patted his chest and assured Li Dongling that being able to manage such a large project as the Cyberport Global Technology Centre meant that Lin Xianhui was already the most powerful professional manager in the port city.

If he doesn't do a good job, there are plenty of people willing to replace Lin Xianhui and serve Li Dashanren.

As the general manager of both Dongling High-Tech Port City Company and Digital Port Company, Lin Xianhui is already a veritable "King of Employees" in Port City.

With his salary, bonuses, and stock options, Lin Xianhui's net worth is estimated to exceed HK$100 million in just a few years!
Countless people envy Lin Xianhui's position. If given the chance to take his place, I bet all the professional managers in Hong Kong would want to give it a try.

Li Dongling looked at the Digital Port Industrial Park and the large Beisha Bay integrated color scheme facility project. Once all the buildings on this 300-acre plot of land were completed...

Once Cyberport Global Centre starts operating and more and more companies gather here, a large number of billionaires and multi-millionaires may emerge here.

The houses in Beisha Bay are likely to become new landmarks in the port city, a gathering place for the new generation of Hong Kong's rich and famous, and may also become the area with the highest property prices in the port city!

At that time, Bel-Air Bay has the potential to become a new central area of ​​the port city, where countless millionaires are born, countless young people come here to seek employment and wealth opportunities, and countless people will fight tooth and nail to buy a residence here!
The land and buildings of Cyberport Global Technology Center and Bel-Air Bay now belong to Cyberport, which is also an industry under Dongling High-Tech Port City Company.

Once operational, this place will generate huge profits every year. The Cyberport and Bel-Air Bay projects alone are enough to create a new port city tycoon.

This will also become Dongling Hi-Tech's base in Gangcheng!

After inspecting the construction site of the Cyberport Industrial Park, Li Dongling headed towards the Huanhai Medical Center to pick up Ning Wenke and her daughter and take them back to their villa on the hillside.

……

"Brother Liang, how much longer do we have to wait?"

"After Li Dongling arrived in Hong Kong, he basically met with the head of the Hong Kong government and Lin Xianhui, but he was not seen having a secret rendezvous with Ning Wenke!"

In a ravine near the hillside villa, a paparazzi swatted a mosquito off his body and asked Snake, who was diligently staring at the gate of Ning Wenke's villa with binoculars.

Ning Wen also owns a villa in the Mid-Levels, making her neighbors with Li Dashan. This is no secret to Hong Kong paparazzi, which explains the long-standing presence of various gossip stories about the two. Snake Boy Ming, whose real name is Liang Ming, is a well-known paparazzi in Hong Kong, renowned for his boldness and meticulousness. He is responsible for breaking many scandals and news stories involving Hong Kong's wealthy and powerful families.

Liang Ming has long supplied news to Hong Kong tabloids and gossip newspapers such as Oriental Daily News, Sing Pao, Next Magazine, and 3 Magazine.

As the most famous paparazzi in Hong Kong, Leung Ming earns a very high income. Some exclusive news stories, such as a single photo, can sell for hundreds of thousands of Hong Kong dollars.

Of course, besides news, shady income is also a major part of the income for paparazzi and tabloid reporters.

For example, when Liang Ming takes photos of certain wealthy people and celebrities, he sometimes contacts these wealthy people and asks them to "buy" the photos back if they don't want them to be reported by the media.

Of course, paparazzi and tabloids have a set procedure for doing all this to avoid being sued for extortion.

Liang Ming breaks several sensational news stories every year, and now he has his sights set on the Ning family.

As a newly emerging wealthy family in Hong Kong, Ning Wenke is also known as the "Telecom Queen of Hong Kong". In addition, her relationship with the newly crowned richest man in Asia means that any news about her would be a major news story that would ignite Hong Kong and even Southeast Asia!

As a paparazzi reporter, which one wouldn't want to report such a news story?
Ning Wenke has been out of the public eye for almost half a year, which is why Hong Kong media have speculated that she is pregnant. This tactic is not unusual; many Hong Kong celebrities have used it before.

After taking a bite of bread and swallowing it with water, Liang Ming looked at the paparazzi who had come with him as his assistant. For Liang Ming, it was normal to stake out for a month or even several months, but one person always needs to rest, so he needed to find someone to take turns.

“If you want to leave, you can go back now. But if I actually get the photos and the money, you won’t get a share!” Liang Ming said to the paparazzi reporter.

The latter moved his lips. He had been waiting here for so long, and he was really unwilling to leave now.

"But when will this ever end..."

"Shut up!"

The paparazzi, upon hearing Liang Ming's reprimand, quickly reacted and hurriedly picked up his binoculars to look. He then saw a convoy of luxury cars parked in front of Ning Wenke's villa on the hillside.

Big news is coming!

The paparazzi was so excited by what he saw that he started trembling. He knew that the biggest tabloid news in Hong Kong this year was about to break.

Ning Wenke's father, Ning Wanli, also came out of the villa. He had come to see his granddaughter. Although he was somewhat dissatisfied that the philanthropist Li had not given Ning Wenke a formal status, at his age, he doted on his granddaughter Ning Keling to the core.

When Liang Ming saw Li Dongling helping Ning Wenke, who was wrapped up quite tightly, get out of the car carrying a baby, he picked up his camera without hesitation and pressed the shutter.

"Someone!"

"alert!"

Yang Zhigao, who was in charge of security, saw a light flash in the distance and immediately stood up to block Li Dongling.

They then pointed in the direction where Liang Ming was, and several security personnel immediately rushed towards Liang Ming's location.

"Run! Start the motorcycle!"

Liang Ming, who had just taken two photos, was startled when he saw the bodyguards rushing straight at them. He hadn't expected Li Dongling's security personnel to react so quickly.

Without bothering to pack his things, Liang Ming grabbed his camera, got on his motorcycle, and sped away.

It's true that Liang Ming is very famous in the paparazzi industry, but that's all he is in. If he really falls into the hands of a wealthy family in Hong Kong, they can mold him into anything. If they're ruthless, they might even throw him into the sea to feed the fish.

"It must be a paparazzi reporter!"

Holding the sleeping Xiao Keling in his arms, Li Dongling heard the report from the front and said something to the worried Ning Wanli.

Then he looked at Ning Wenke. If they wanted to suppress the news about Ning Keling, if the philanthropist Li used his connections and relationships with the Hong Kong government, he would definitely be able to suppress the news.

Now it's up to Ning Wenke to decide whether to change her mind, but Ning Wenke is very determined and still wants to tell the people of Hong Kong that Ning Keling is her daughter and doesn't want to hide anything.

Then Li Dongling picked up the phone and called Lin Xianhui, "Tell those tabloids and gossip newspapers and reporters in Hong Kong what they can and cannot report. They know themselves that Ning Keling's photos cannot appear in the media."

Tell them, this is what I, Li Dongling, said!
