1977: The beginning of the blind date with the daughter of the king

Chapter 604: Are you so ambitious?

Sports venue on the ground floor of Landmark Building, Central, Hong Kong Island.

Three fierce figures are fighting on the ring.

If there are people from the underworld here, they will recognize at a glance that there are two people on the boxing ring. They are the two famous boxers in Hong Kong Island today, one is the successor of Choy Li Fot style, and the other is the head of Hung Gar style.

And now, these two martial arts masters are joining forces to attack a young man.

Before, Li Changhe usually fought one-on-one with these masters, but as he gradually reached the peak of his physical functions, Li Changhe can now easily fight one-on-two.

boom!
At the last moment, Li Changhe exerted his strength appropriately and tapped the shoulder of Tang Renyi, the successor of Hung Gar.

"Mr. Bao, I lost."

"Even if Alai and I join forces, we are no match for you, Mr. Bao."

After the three men stopped, Tang Renyi bowed and said helplessly.

He witnessed the rapid growth of this little kid.

When the two men met last year, although Xiao Baosheng had a strong physique and profound Mantis boxing skills, he was still able to fight back and forth with Bao Zeyang thanks to his years of immersion in the Hung Gar moves.

But now, even if he joined forces with Chen A Lai of Cailifoquan, they could not beat the young man in front of them.

The other party is simply a genius in Chinese martial arts.

The most important thing is that he hardly ever saw the other person practice, but when they played against each other every few months, he could see the progress in the other person that amazed him.

"Master Tang, you are too polite. I also want to thank you for your guidance during this period of time."

Li Changhe smiled and said modestly to Tang Renyi.

Then he looked at the young man beside him.

"Alai, you should be old enough to become a master this year. Are you interested in working with me?"

When Chen Alai heard what Li Changhe said, he looked at Li Changhe with some surprise.

"Silly boy, what are you still standing there for? It's your blessing that Mr. Bao invited you."

Seeing this, Tang Renyi couldn't help but give Chen Alai some advice.

He and Chen Alai's master are acquaintances in the Jingwu Association, so of course he would help this junior now.

At the same time, Tang Renyi couldn't help but sigh in his heart that it was a pity that he was old and his apprentices were not as talented as Chen Alai.

"Ah? I would like to. Thank you Mr. Bao for your appreciation!"

Chen Alai also reacted at this time and immediately spoke excitedly to Li Changhe.

"You're great. I just happen to need someone to do something for me."

After interacting with Chen Alai for a period of time, Li Changhe liked this young man very much. He was a very sincere person and had talent in Chinese martial arts.

If put into any major club, it will be no problem to put together a double-flowered red stick.

Li Changhe's business is now growing bigger and bigger, and it is impossible to rely on Ah Hu and the others alone, so the security team began to expand.

However, he still prefers to train some core figures himself.

"Master Tang, I remember you have a daughter. Did she also practice martial arts since she was a child?"

"If Master Tang doesn't mind, you can ask her to help me. You know, sometimes I need some female experts here."

Li Changhe also did not forget to give Tang Renyi a chance.

Hearing Li Changhe's words, Tang Renyi nodded decisively: "Of course, no problem. It is Ah Feng's blessing to be able to help Mr. Bao."

"I'll tell her when I get back and ask her to report to Landmark Tower."

Learn martial arts and sell them to the emperor's family!
There are no emperors in modern society. Those who stand at the top of the Chinese class today are these wealthy people and big entrepreneurs.

The disciples of their boxing gym actually either continue to be boxers, or join clubs, or go into the film or opera industry and become martial artists.

There are very few who truly have a great future.

Now that Li Changhe can speak, it is like a pie in the sky for him.

This was also the reason why he was willing to be Li Changhe's sparring partner, just to see if Mr. Bao could give them a chance.

At this moment, a woman in a small suit and with a charming figure walked in quickly from under the ring, and then came to the edge of the ring. It was Li Changhe's secretary Catherine.

Li Changhe came to the side of the ring and sat in a seat in the corner, while Catherine reported to Li Changhe in a low voice.

After listening to this, Li Changhe nodded.

"Master Tang, Alai, let's stop here for today. You can also take a rest."

"As for the recruitment, you can just talk to Ah Hu when the time comes."

"I'll tell him. I have something else to do. I'll leave first!"

After saying goodbye to Tang Renyi and Chen A, Li Changhe got up and left.

After returning to the office, taking a shower, changing clothes, Li Changhe walked out.

"Is it a call from France?"

"Yes, boss. The French Ministry of Commerce called us and said that the French government is going to hold a product exhibition and invited us to participate."

"This is because Mitterrand is anxious."

"It's my fault too. I forgot about it."

"Okay, go call Wei Li up and I'll talk to him."

Li Changhe said to Catherine with a smile.

He had talked to Mitterrand before, and Mitterrand helped him solve the problem in Cannes. In return, he would invest in France after Mitterrand came to power.

It is already June, and Mitterrand has been in office for almost a month. Trump is giving him a reminder.

Soon Wei Li came up.

Li Changhe told him the situation.

“Investing in France?”

"The wine and wheat from France are indeed very good products, as are some of the luxury artworks."

"I have also been thinking that we need a purchasing center to sell the world's best quality goods within our urban complex."

"I actually wanted to place the purchasing center in the UK before, but according to your idea, boss, we can actually place it in France."

"After all, Britain is an island country, across the sea from the European continent. France is in a better position."

"France, Germany, Italy, and even Switzerland are all very close, so our procurement center is indeed more convenient."

Weedle himself is British and is no stranger to the situation in Europe. Moreover, when he was sorting out Hutchison Whampoa, he also sorted out the procurement chain in Europe.

"Well, geographically speaking, Paris is more suitable than London. Coincidentally, I have also integrated a number of luxury goods resources in Europe, so the people from the Dairy Company can connect with them when they go there."

“Luxury goods will also be the most important part of our urban complex by then.”

"In addition, I think it would be a good idea to have Dairy Farm International investigate and see if we can expand our shopping malls and convenience stores to the Chinese communities in Europe."

"The profit margins in Europe and America are always higher than those in East Asia."

"It's a good opportunity to go over and investigate."

Li Changhe smiled at Wei Li and said, "That's perfect. I just assembled a team to go to Beijing with you these days. How about letting them go to Paris with you, Boss?"

"Okay, you take care of the arrangements for the personnel, and once they are arranged, let them go to Paris."

"Remember, it's best for executives from different companies to take separate flights and not be grouped together."

At this time, Li Changhe casually reminded Wei Li.

Wei Li immediately understood what Li Changhe meant and a helpless smile appeared on his face.

"Okay, boss, I got it."

My boss is afraid of a plane crash, so he fired all the top executives in the company.

However, this situation does exist. For example, there are many cases in Hong Kong Island.

Shaw Cinemas and Cathay Cinemas were once in competition, and were originally evenly matched. However, Cathay Pacific's success was due to the death of its own boss and his wife in a plane accident.

As a result, Cathay Cinemas subsequently fell into decline and was dominated by Shaw Brothers Films.

"Oh, one more thing. Didn't you say before that you wanted to relocate the Hong Kong Electric power plant?"

"You can also bring the people from Hong Kong Electric with you this time and let them go to France to inspect nuclear power together."

"nuclear power?"

"Boss, do you want the new power plant to use nuclear power?"

"It's impossible. Don't even think about it. We can't use it."

Wei Li said to Li Changhe without hesitation at this time.

"why?"

Li Changhe asked curiously.

"The risk is too great, the Hong Kong government will not approve it."

"Boss, for conventional nuclear power plants, generally speaking, the area within five kilometers is a restricted area, and the area between 30 kilometers and 50 kilometers is a safe evacuation area."

"That is to say, a nuclear power plant must retain a safety zone of at least 30 to 50 kilometers, not counting its atmospheric radiation range."

"Lamma Island is only 23 kilometers away from Hong Kong Island. That is to say, if we build a nuclear power plant on Lamma Island, even if there is only a minor accident, the entire Hong Kong Island will be within the range of nuclear radiation."

"Under these circumstances, how could the Hong Kong government allow our nuclear power plant plan to go through?"

"That's impossible. They won't agree to it even if you kill them."

Wei Li said to Li Changhe seriously.

After listening to this, Li Changhe seemed to be thinking about something.

"What do you think if we build it on the mainland?"

Li Changhe then said calmly.

Although he was not clear about the scope of the nuclear radiation, he knew from the beginning that it would be difficult to build nuclear power in Hong Kong Island, and there would be no nuclear power in Hong Kong Island for the next few decades.

At that time, he was just saying that to Mitterrand, but he also knew that the future of Hong Kong Island depended on the Daya Bay Nuclear Power Station.

What Li Changhe was actually thinking at the time was to build the nuclear power plant in Daya Bay, because he remembered that Daya Bay used French technology.

"mainland?"

"Boss, you don't know the plan of the Kadoorie family, do you?"

Wei Li said hesitantly to Li Changhe at this time.

"The Kadoorie family's plan?"

Li Changhe was a little confused.

"Kadoorie's China Light and Power proposed to the Hong Kong government two years ago that it wanted to build a nuclear power plant. The power pressure in Kowloon is actually greater than ours."

"After all, the population there is growing, and the electricity shortage for residents is also growing."

"It is difficult for traditional coal-fired power to fill such a large gap, and the environmental pollution is too great, so China Power wants to use nuclear power."

"But as I said, the location of nuclear power is a big problem. The Hong Kong government dared not approve it, and the people below also voiced opposition one after another. Later, China Light and Power wanted to cooperate with the mainland to build a nuclear power plant on the mainland."

"The Kadoorie family is now making every effort to promote this matter. The Hong Kong government is also interested, but I heard that the mainland is also discussing it."

"Boss, you, a nuclear power, don't you want to get involved?"

“Is China Power also promoting this?”

Li Changhe suddenly reacted at this time.

So what they are promoting is actually the Daya Bay project?
It turns out that the Daya Bay project has been promoted so early?
"What do you say if we get involved?"

Li Changhe said thoughtfully at this time.

Wei Li heard what Li Changhe said and thought about it.

"Boss, my personal feeling is that it is not very cost-effective for us."

"If China Power were to move forward, the nuclear power plant's generating units would definitely be in Shenzhen, which borders the New Territories. We are mainly responsible for supplying electricity to Hong Kong Island, which is the farthest away."

“And if we cooperate with China Power and advance the nuclear power project, we also have to integrate it into China Power’s power grid.”

"Today, we are responsible for the electricity supply of Hong Kong Island and outlying islands. We have our own independent power grid."

"If our power grid is merged with that of China Light and Power, it would actually mean the merger of the two major power companies, which would be a disadvantage for us."

"After all, our gap is not as big as we imagined. Even if we build a thermal power plant on Lamma Island, it will be enough for us."

"And the investment in nuclear power is very huge. The entire project may cost more than four billion US dollars."

Wei Li said seriously.

Li Changhe nodded: "I know what you mean. From the perspective of HK Electric, it doesn't make much sense for us to build nuclear power plants."

“But what if we take it to a higher level and use the idea of ​​electricity to benefit our entire group?”

"I plan to talk to the Kadoorie family to see if there is any possibility of cooperation."

"I think that by then, we can jointly establish a joint venture company to allocate the share of nuclear power generation, and then the power grids will still be operated by each of them."

"Besides that, I also want to discuss hotel cooperation with Kadoorie."

"Hotel? You mean?"

When Wei Li heard Li Changhe's words, he thought of the Kadoorie family's assets and asked with some surprise.

Li Changhe nodded: "Yes, it is the Peninsula Hotel under their family."

"The Kadoorie family's Peninsula Hotel is also a leading hotel group in Asia. I actually want to integrate the resources of the Peninsula Hotel."

“It is difficult to build an international hotel group relying solely on Mandarin Hotels to compete with hotel groups like Marriott and Hilton.”

"I have already negotiated with Wharf Holdings. Marco Polo Hotels under Wharf Holdings can be included."

“I think if we add The Peninsula Hotel, it is entirely possible for the three hotel groups to unite and build a world-class hotel group based in Hong Kong Island.”

"What do you think, Bill?"

Li Changhe told Wei Li his thoughts. After listening, Wei Li stood there in amazement.

Is my boss so ambitious?
