Seeing that Singapore and Hong Kong's largest wealthy family "Two Li" were interested in Yang Xing's plan, local wealthy businessmen in Singapore who were discussing the Indonesian situation also joined the conversation. Yang Xing saw that everyone's appetite was aroused, so he simply came to a real estate promotion meeting before the Indonesian plan. He asked: "Everyone has heard of my project of "Oriental Star" in Shanghai?" Everyone nodded in response. After all, this was a building called the world's tallest building at the time. Although there were rumors that Taiwan was also preparing to build a taller "Taipei 101 Building", as long as the building was not completed for a day, the crown would still belong to "Oriental Star".

Yang Xing asked his assistant Tan Li to get a map of Hong Kong downtown and pointed to a large area of ​​land near Kai Tak Airport on the Kowloon Peninsula opposite Hong Kong's main island separated by Victoria Bay. "What do you think of this land? I plan to build a world's tallest building here twice the height of Oriental Star!" As soon as he finished speaking, everyone gasped and could not answer for a long time. All of them were veterans who had been in the shopping mall for many years. The "Oriental Star" real estate industry in Shanghai is conservatively estimated to be no less than 1 billion US dollars. According to Yang Xing's tone, he not only wanted to build a 900-meter-high building on the former site of Kai Tak Airport, but also wanted to make the idea of ​​the adjacent Kwun Tong Industrial Zone in Hong Kong. The investment required by this plan is 10 times that of US$1 billion!

The place where Yang Xing pointed was the Hong Kong Kai Tak Airport, which he and Yu Deli, half-jokingly and half-seriously when they first came to Hong Kong. As an airport located in the city center, after years of use, the traffic environment and geographical location of Kai Tak Airport are not as good as the needs of Hong Kong's rapid economic and urbanization process. Before the return of 1997, the Hong Kong government chose to build a new airport in Chi Lak Kok, Lantau Island. All flights will be moved to the new airport this year, and Kai Tak Airport will be completely vacant and handed over to the Hong Kong Flight Service Team for use. Although there have been frequent reports of the Hong Kong government's intention to sell this land in the past life, it was finally left unresolved due to various willingness.

As for the Kwun Tong District, Hong Kong, which is close to Kai Tak Airport, it has always been a heart-wrenching problem for the Hong Kong government. Kwun Tong District was just a rather deserted bay before World War II. After World War II, civil war broke out in China. Many national capitalists went south to transfer assets and equipment to relatively safe Hong Kong, mainly concentrated in the Kwun Tong area to set up factories. In 1954, the Hong Kong government launched a large-scale reclamation project in Kwun Tong, freeing up special land for manufacturers to develop. After the project was completed in 1957, the reclamation part (i.e., the southern part of Kwun Tong) became a formal industrial land, called Kwun Tong Industrial Zone. The north side of the industrial zone developed into a residential area, providing nearby residences for people working in the factory area.

The 1950s and 1960s were the golden age of Hong Kong's industry. Hong Kong's economy and economy took off. Many Hong Kong rich people who became famous later became rich here. At the same time, the prosperity of industry also brought a large amount of people and logistics. The Kwun Tong area quickly flourished and became the central area of ​​Hong Kong. The Hong Kong government opened a subway to Kwun Tong in 1979, and Kwun Tong's prosperity reached its peak.

However, since the 1980s, with the development of Hong Kong's economy and industrial upgrading, and reform and opening up in the mainland, attracted by a large number of low and cheap labor and land prices, the high labor costs and expensive factory rents in Hong Kong no longer have the advantage. A large number of local factory owners from Hong Kong went north to Shenzhen and Guangzhou to set up factories, and Kwun Tong's manufacturing industry began to "sunset". A large number of factories were idle, and near Kwun Tong Metro Station was also converted into commercial buildings or warehouses, and the once busy coastal marina area was completely abandoned. The reduction of factories led to serious loss of personnel in the entire industrial area, and many residential buildings in Kwun Tong are also becoming increasingly declining, leaving only many elderly, weak, sick and disabled people. The entire Kwun Tong exudes a sense of dilapidation and decadence.

For Hong Kong, which has always been a dynamic and dynamic, having such a dilapidated area in the city center is really a shame for its face. Previous governments have also considered renovating this area. Although only 30% of the houses in Kwun Tong are private owners, the rest are public housing and industrial factories with ownership belonging to the government. It sounds like the reconstruction should not be difficult as long as the government intends. However, the area is vast and covers an area of ​​nearly 5.2 hectares, including more than 1,600 property units involved. The demolition fee alone is astronomical.

The government-owned factories also have a large number of private bosses' equipment and goods stored. Most of the people living in public housing are marginalized people such as the elderly, weak, sick and disabled. Many of them are the lowest-level people in society who receive "comprehensive assistance". Hong Kong emphasizes democracy and legal system, and does not have the concept of "policy-based demolition" in China, and "private property is inviolable". It is the focus of public attention for these poor people who receive "comprehensive assistance". Therefore, the Hong Kong government's plan has been proposed for a long time but has not been moved.

This year, the "Hong Kong Land Development Company", which is known as the Hong Kong Land Master, proposed a vision plan for the "Kuang Tong City Center Reconstruction Project". It is estimated that it will cost HK$30 billion and will be completed in three phases in 12 years. The real estate industry also generally believes that the estimation is idealized, and it is not conservative to implement an estimate of 40 billion. This is still the plan before the Asian financial crisis. Judging from the situation where the storm swept across countries today, most of the rich have shrunk their wealth. Li Ka-shing, who is known as the king of Hong Kong real estate, is not interested in this plan. Unexpectedly, Yang Xing boldly chose this place as the first real estate plan in Hong Kong.

Among the people, Li Zekai was still very excited. He asked Yang Xing, "You plan to build the world's tallest building at Kaide Airport, and you must surpass Shanghai's 'Oriental Star'. How tall are you planning to build?" Yang Xing bent his index finger and compared nine words. "I have consulted the American SOM Design Firm. After inspecting the geology of Kaide Airport, they felt that they could withstand super skyscrapers over 900 meters. There are many new high-rise projects in Asia. I don't want to compete with others, so I just built a high-rise building that cannot be surpassed for more than ten years. We Chinese people pay attention to "9" as a lucky number, so how about 999 meters!" Everyone seemed to have hypoxic cerebral anemia after hearing this. After a long time of dizziness, Li Xianyang praised: "It's true that it's twice as high as the Oriental Star!"

"After than 900 meters, is this kid crazy? Just stack two skyscrapers together!" Everyone couldn't help but be surprised and admired. No matter how likely the plan is to be successful, Yang Xing's arrogant and lofty demeanor is indeed unparalleled among entrepreneurs of his age. Li Zekai and Li Xianyang are also slightly inferior to those of the wealthy second generation born with a golden key in his arms.

The most important thing is that everyone thinks of Yang Xing boldly leveraging a backdoor to let eight companies go public together when he arrived in Hong Kong. He was laughed as "crazy Yang". Not long ago, he proposed to acquire Shanyi Securities and was ridiculed as "shrimps eating whales". But now he controls nine Hong Kong listed companies, all of which are extraordinary. Japan's strange silent reaction to Zhongxing International's full acquisition of Shanyi Securities shows that this young man is not talking nonsense, but is confident. Everyone suddenly feels that it is not too outrageous to be a leader in the plan to unite the Chinese in Southeast Asian countries to rescue Indonesian Chinese. Some people are born to do big things!

Although everyone present had different expressions, no one was scared by his arrogance. He left and shouted: "Boy is arrogant, how can we make a plan with the boss!" He thought that his deception was finally half successful. Of course, the reconstruction plan he proposed was not a whim. This was indeed the next central task that Zhongxing International planned to carry out after acquiring Shanyi Securities. However, the long construction period and high capital investment involved made him not plan to bear it from the beginning. This time, he wanted to be the protagonist of the Indonesian Chinese. In addition to national feelings, he was just trying to play the idea of ​​Southeast Asian Chinese businessmen. At this time, he put forward this plan, in addition to diverting Lee Hsien Yang's attention, and also took advantage of the opportunity to promote it and attract the investment vision of Southeast Asian Chinese businessmen.

This Asian financial storm is a crisis but also an opportunity. Yang Xing took advantage of this storm to make a big profit in the foreign exchange market. Using the money earned from the money he earned to enrich his career, and developing industry has always been his goal. Zhongxing International, which has obtained domestic credit support, has overcome the biggest financial problem for the acquisition of Shanyi Securities. If nothing unexpected happens, the raging Asian financial storm will end at the latest next year and return to the normal economic operation track. At that time, the companies under Zhongxing International could not always take the wrong steps and always return to their respective main businesses to develop. The main goals for the next stage must be determined. Yang Xing and his subordinates have long started to prepare for this matter. The final consensus reached is to base themselves in Hong Kong and go to the world. The first step to establishing a foothold in Hong Kong is to build the Sky Star City, the industrial park where Zhongxing International’s headquarters is located in Hong Kong!

This plan actually came to Yang Xing's mind. When he stood outside Kaide Airport for the first time, he made a bold statement, half of it was to inspire everyone's fighting spirit, and the other half was also a manifestation of his desire. In order to adapt to the trend of intensive, integrated, and integration of modern production enterprises, the group absorbed the experience of large enterprises in Korea, Japan and other countries from raw materials to finished products, from university research rooms to the upstream and downstream units of the enterprise's finished products, and created the five cores.

A large industrial park integrating production, education, research and sales in Xincheng City. After more than a year of experiments, the results are very obvious. Whether it is the improvement of production efficiency, the reduction of storage costs with "zero inventory", or the centralized procurement and flexible production lines used based on actual sales and procurement, it has greatly reduced costs for enterprises. It is the leading cost in the domestic manufacturing industry, and its processing level is also rapidly catching up with manufacturing powerhouses such as South Korea and Japan, so it has received a steady stream of overseas OEM orders.

Therefore, it is reasonable for Yang Xing to consider replicating his successful experience in Hong Kong to rebuild an industrial park, and he still has a regret in his heart to make up for it. Through the materials he came into contact with, he learned that after the destruction of the Asian financial crisis in his previous life, he never found a path suitable for Hong Kong's development direction. The hard-working spirit and ambition to start a business at all costs were gradually consumed by endless political struggles and the thought of loving and loving work. Many young people in Hong Kong were very enthusiastic about their enthusiasm for hard work.

Works that are both enjoyable and money-making in the financial industry, real estate industry, etc. have led to the hollowing out, de-industrialization and financialization of Hong Kong's economy, and are completely dependent on the world financial market. The consequence is that every time the international financial crisis hits, Hong Kong will be greatly damaged and continue to resume. The mainland province next door is buried in its head and has been vigorously developing its manufacturing industry. As a result, ten years later, Hong Kong will not compare with South Korea, Singapore, one of the four Asian dragons, and even the GDP of the adjacent Guangdong Province has surpassed it.
