Rebirth of Hong Kong Island, leading the technology war

Chapter 464 Stunning Ancient Resort
Hu Jiangshan spoke relatively little, almost nothing at all, and just listened while drinking his drink.

Song Jingtao does have a lot of ideas and he should have some abilities, but he takes things for granted. He uses mainlanders' ideas to think about the business environment in Hong Kong, so the actual situation is definitely distorted.

What Feng Hua said is right. People in Hong Kong Island really care about the atmosphere of everyday life and like a lively consumption environment.

If you decorate your store nicely, perhaps some upper-class people will come to patronize it, but ordinary people will not like to go there even if they have money.

Another point is that at this time, QR code payment has already become ubiquitous in mainland China and has been completely popularized, but convenient payment is very rare in Hong Kong Island. This is also because Hong Kong Island consumers still cannot accept this payment method in their concepts.

Of course, we cannot say that Song Jingtao’s views are completely wrong. If we think about it calmly, the trend is still very obvious.

No matter how conservative Hong Kong is, there will be changes in the future and it will definitely be aligned with the mainland's business environment and business model.

Maybe in five years, maybe in ten years, there will always be changes.

Especially now, the service level of restaurants in Hong Kong Island is really not satisfactory. The gap with the mainland is too obvious. It is like heaven and hell. It is no exaggeration to say that there is a world of difference between them.

But then again, it will take some time for such an effect to occur, and now is still not the right time.

Feng Hua has a really good temper. No matter what others say, how they point fingers at him, or even criticize him to his face, he always greets them with a smile, laughing, and tries his best to liven up the atmosphere and make the conversation relaxed and comfortable.

Of course, Feng Hua is not the type of person who likes to play nice. If he encounters something that requires debate and touches his bottom line, he will still argue a few words to make the other party stop.

This is what a smart person does.

In fact, Song Jingtao came to Hong Kong Island this time to investigate the business environment of Hong Kong Island and wanted to make a difference.

Now the business in the mainland's big cities has become saturated and the competition is very fierce. It can be said that most industries have become a red ocean. Therefore, many mainland service and manufacturing companies are considering expanding outward, and the first choice is places like Hong Kong Island and Taiwan Island.

After all, the culture, language, and ethnicity are the same as those in the mainland, the threshold is slightly lower, and the cost of initial preparation is relatively low.

The other is Southeast Asia, which belongs to the second-tier development area.

At this time, Song Jingtao asked Feng Hua: "By the way, in addition to running this Wolong Ice House, do you have other investment projects? If so, can you introduce them to us?"

Feng Hua was stunned for a moment, then said, "There are no other particularly critical investments. My idea is to play it safe and just get this Wolong Ice House done first. I need to practice before I can touch anything else."

At this time, Xia Yilian said, "That's not right, Xiaohua, didn't you say some time ago that you might invest in a project? You also said that you were very optimistic about that project, so why don't you tell us about it now?"

The price of anti-slip rose. I looked at the lake and the mountains. Now the eight characters are not even started. Let's not talk about it for now.

Feng Yongze said, "What can't you say? Jing Tao and the others are not outsiders. Even if you have any immature ideas, you can say them out and we can help you with your reference."

Song Jingtao also said: "That's right. Even if I don't know much, I can still give some suggestions. There is strength in numbers. Sometimes there are always blind spots. Different people are needed to find them and fill in the gaps. This way, the success rate will be higher."

What Feng Yongze and Song Jingtao said actually makes a lot of sense and is well-intentioned.

But Feng Hua really didn’t want to say it so early, not because he thought the project was unreliable, but because he was worried about being misunderstood by others.

In fact, Hu Jiangshan also guessed that Feng Hua’s so-called investment project was probably the Tenglong Island resort commercial project.

Feng Hua had no choice at this point. Since everyone said so, he could only bite the bullet and give a brief introduction.

"Here's the thing. Recently I plan to invest in a commercial project of an island resort."

When everyone heard this, they were stunned. The resort commercial project on the island seemed very high-end at first glance, but such projects were generally scams.

Sure enough, Feng Yongze frowned: "Which island do you want to invest in a business project? This matter is not as simple as you think."

Xia Yilian said quickly: "Xiaohua, please tell me in detail, which island is it? Is that island near Hong Kong Island? Is it officially operated or privately owned?"

Feng Hua said: "It's an outlying island near Hong Kong Island. It's a private island."

"A private island... that won't work. You have to make sure that the owner of that island is reliable. If not, then your money will definitely go down the drain."

Feng Hua was embarrassed, after all, the real owner was right next to him, so he quickly said, "Don't worry, the other party is very reliable. We have a very good relationship and he is absolutely reliable."

Song Jingtao asked, "Are you really that close? Who is that person? I'm telling you, you have to be careful. Some people are more cunning than others. You can't judge a person by his appearance, so you have to be on guard against him. Some people may seem very friendly and easy to talk to, but they may turn hostile for their own benefit."

Feng Hua quickly said, "No, my friend is really reliable. With his strength, he doesn't care about small interests at all."

What Feng Hua said is correct. Hu Jiangshan's ability to make money is still considerable.

If one really does something bad for some kind of benefit, the so-called benefit cannot be money or assets.

At this time, Feng Yongze glanced at Hu Jiangshan and said to his son, "Xiaohua, the friend you mentioned is sitting here, right?"

"This one……"

Hu Jiangshan could no longer remain silent, and said with a smile: "Uncle, that's right, the friend Huazi was talking about is me."

As expected of Feng Yongze, he has a clear mind and strong judgment. It is true that age is the key. Even though he is a bit older, his thinking is not slow at all. He immediately realized that the reason why Feng Hua was so reluctant to say it was probably because the real person was sitting next to him.

Xia Yilian thought about it and said, "Oh, now that you mention it, I remember that I did hear that you, Mr. Hu, bought an island some time ago and started a business on it. Is that right?"

Hu Jiangshan nodded: "Yes, this is true. I recently built a resort on the island. Some time ago, I asked Feng Hua to go there to take a look. I wanted him to give me some advice on the operation direction. Unexpectedly, Huazi took a fancy to my business conditions and planned to invest in it. I am a lazy person, but Huazi has a good business mind. I think this is feasible.

At this point, Hu Jiangshan added: "But this matter has just been decided, and we need to plan it further. There is no problem on my side, so it depends on whether Huazi has any problem."

What Hu Jiangshan said was quite wise, meaning that Feng Hua only had this intention, but had not finalized it, let alone signed any agreement.

This is to give Feng Hua room to maneuver so that he does not appear to be numb. After all, investing in a business on an island sounds quite unreliable.

Unless the island is a popular tourist island, you will definitely not make back your money and may even lose everything.

Feng Yongze asked Hu Jiangshan: "When will the resort on the island be completed? How big is it? How much money has been invested?"

Feng Hua smiled bitterly and said, "Dad, you are interrogating a prisoner. Why are you asking so many questions at once? There are some things that cannot be answered. They are business secrets."

Feng Yongze frowned slightly, although this was indeed a business secret and it was not convenient to say it out loud.

But Feng Hua was too careless. He had to understand these things clearly in advance and couldn't just get away with it by saying "good relationship".

Hu Jiangshan said, "There's nothing to hide, uncle. My resort has already been built. I'm not bragging, the hardware is pretty good and the scale is not small."

"Ah? Has it been completed now?" After hearing what Hu Jiangshan said, even Feng Hua was very surprised. Feng Hua originally thought that the prototype would not appear until at least next year or so, but he did not expect that it would be completed now.

It's only been about a month, that's too fast, too fast to be true.

The only explanation is that only a prototype was built, or only the first phase of the project was completed, and the scale of completion was very small.

Hu Jiangshan smiled and said, "It's already been built. Everyone, if you have time, you can go and have a look."

At this time, Song Jingtao asked Hu Jiangshan: "Do you have any photos or videos so that we can see in advance how good the hardware facilities of your resort are."

Everyone's eyes fell on Hu Jiangshan, wanting to see how he would respond.

Feng Hua said, "We are just chatting casually today. There is no need to be so serious. Who would prepare photos and videos before going out? This is not an investment meeting."

Song Jingtao didn't say anything, but still looked at Hu Jiangshan. He didn't believe how well the so-called resort could be built.

Song Jingtao has sufficient reasons to make such a judgment.

Truly good resorts are all branded, planned and operated by the famous large-scale hotel group Blue Star. The construction location is also very particular, and it must be selected in a famous resort.

The island bought by Hu Jiangshan naturally could not be a famous resort island and it was impossible for it to be favored by large hotel groups.

Even if we take a step back, if the resort’s commercial project is favored by a large hotel group, it will not fall into the hands of others.

Feng Yongze was quite surprised by Hu Jiangshan's performance. He did not overreact.

If it were in the past, Hu Jiangshan would probably get angry and embarrassed when faced with such an obviously provocative question.

As a young master, he cares most about face, which is understandable.

But Hu Jiangshan's condition at this time was obviously different from before, he just faced it with a smile.

Jiang Shan's calm and composed state, coupled with his handsome appearance, is quite attractive to young girls. For example, Song Ziyan is... After looking at him again, Jiang Shan...

Song Ziyan's family is so well-off, there is no shortage of handsome guys around her. And she has good genes. His brother Song Jingtao is also very handsome. He was not very interested in Hu Jiangshan at first. But now he seems to be interested in his conversation and behavior. It is really unexpected. He is not the kind of handsome guy who is common on the street. He is quite talented.

Hu Jiangshan said: "Hua Zi, you really guessed wrong. I really have photos and videos here, just in time to show them to you."

"Ah? You really have it?"

"Hua Zi, what your uncle said just now is right. You should take a closer look at it. You really can't make decisions casually."

As he spoke, Hu Jiangshan took out his mobile phone from his bag, entered the photo album, and then pushed it in front of Feng Hua.

Feng Hua looked at the picture on the phone in surprise, then looked at Hu Jiangshan. His expression seemed to say, "Are you serious?"
Until now, Hu Jiangshan still thinks he is joking. After all, the construction of the resort is progressing too fast, so fast that it is unacceptable.

Hu Jiangshan gestured to Feng Hua to take a look first.

Feng Hua lowered his head and looked carefully at the first picture, which was a distant view. He tried to capture as many buildings as possible from a higher position.

The building in the photo is very distinctive. It is an ancient building, and not of the common ancient building style. The wide eaves and plain facade make it look simple and elegant.

“This was taken…at a resort?”

Hu Jiangshan took a sip of tea and said, "Of course, I can shoot anywhere else."

Feng Hua widened his eyes. At first glance, he even thought that the photo was photoshopped, but after looking at it for a long time, he couldn't find any flaws.

Feng Hua had been to the area where the resort was built before and had an impression of the terrain there.

The place in the photo is indeed the one I had in mind, except that the buildings have already taken shape and appear very full.

Seeing Feng Hua's surprised expression, Song Yaqi was very curious. She came over to take a look and exclaimed.

“Wow, what a great place!”

The others also stretched their necks to look at the phone screen, and then they all showed surprised expressions.

Regardless of the actual situation, the photo is indeed eye-catching. It feels like an ancient town, and the geographical location is obviously by the sea.

Then, Feng Hua turned to the second photo.

This is a close-up of Ikki's house. Finally, the details of the ancient building can be clearly seen.

There is only one word to describe it - impeccable.

Except for the faintly visible glass, everything that can be seen in the photo is ancient in style, without any sense of modernity.

Everyone present was a relatively knowledgeable person, especially Feng Yongze, who liked to collect antiques and had seen quite a few ancient paintings.

In this photo, you can even see a stone lamp, which is exactly the same as the one seen in ancient paintings from the Tang Dynasty.

Feng Yongze couldn't help but ask: "Are these buildings in the Tang Dynasty style?"

Hu Jiangshan nodded: "Uncle is right, the design of the entire resort is the style of an ancient town in the Tang Dynasty. Huazi, you can turn to the back, there should be a video."

Feng Hua flipped through it and found it was indeed a video. He pushed his phone to the middle of the table so that everyone could see it more clearly, and then clicked the play button.

The faint sound of waves could be heard, which was very touching.

The picture first shows a Tang-style building, then starts to move, and you can see a stone road that is both winding and well-designed.

Then everyone opened their eyes wide and actually saw a stream flowing from top to bottom.

Song Yaqi couldn't help but ask: "Is this formed naturally?"

Hu Jiangshan shook his head: "This is a specially designed landscape."

Feng Hua clapped his hands and said, "Beautiful! Really beautiful!"
