Chapter 200

The cruise ship has turned into a seafood boat, and the functional area needs to be re-planned.

Lin Wei had heard before that more than 20 years ago, a wealthy businessman wanted to build a giant seafood restaurant, but a fire broke out midway, causing the project to be stranded.

Recently I heard that the business has been transferred to Hongyun Shipyard, which will build several 3,000-ton boats.

This reminded Lin Wei of the giant seafood boat in later generations.

Lin Wei's shipyard is not without its leading role. In the past two years, people have entered the shipbuilding industry one after another. Central Asia Heavy Industries and Hongyun Shipyard are the leaders, and the old China Shipyard has also resumed business.

However, several shipyards are not as wealthy as Lin Wei, and their talent team is also far behind, so their development is much slower.

Especially Lin Wei, who has built 10,000-ton cruise ships, is far behind other shipyards.

From the ship dismantling business to the current 10,000-ton cruise ship, the speed is not unpleasant.

The media believes that if Lin Wei continues to work steadily, in another ten or eight years, she may be able to grab large orders from Japanese and European shipyards.

Unfortunately, now that we are experiencing an oil crisis, no one knows how long the economic depression caused by the Middle East war will last.

It is said that it is beyond the power of manpower, and no matter how powerful an individual is, he cannot withstand the impact of historical waves.

Setting sail against the wind will capsize the ship.

Lin Wei doesn't care about tailwinds or headwinds, she wants to transform her cruise ship.

Engaging in the catering industry is Lin Wei's comfort zone.

She is not an expert in chain stores like milk tea burger restaurants. She has seen a lot and half imitated and half fumbled around. But a real restaurant, a five-star hotel, is different.

She started out in catering, from mobile stalls to small restaurants and large restaurants. She is very clear about every aspect of the catering industry, including cost control, purchase channels, restaurant location selection, etc., and has accumulated rich experience.

Lin Wei has worked in so many industries. Catering is not the one she has worked in for the longest time, but it is the most tiring and tiring. Although the threshold is low, getting up early and working late is the most difficult and valuable experience in her life. At that time, she Only then did we truly understand what it means to make people's livelihood difficult and what it means to be self-reliant.

The Three Islands and Ten Continents in Causeway Bay has now become the most famous hotel in Hong Kong. It can be said that it is making money every day and is a very successful hotel case.

In fact, without Lin Wei's operation in the stock market, there would be no crisis for Haoxin Real Estate now. Her high-end office buildings, shopping streets and hotels are very profitable. She does not blindly develop new projects. Even if she only rents but does not sell, she will also The cost has been recovered in the past few years, which is one of the reasons why the company's stock price has not plummeted like other companies. The bottom line of the stock price is always the company's operating conditions.

And Kowloon Aviation's Harbor City is about to be completed. It is the largest in Hong Kong. The shopping and entertainment center is about to be completed, and people say it is expanding too fast, but looking at the comprehensive indicators of corporate assets, Lin Wei's business empire has been developing steadily and orderly.

It seems like a radical approach, but actually every step is very steady.

The giant seafood restaurants of later generations were completely Chinese style, so Lin Wei did not join in the fun and steal other people's creativity.

The cruise ship is not a painting boat, but a high-standard seafood boat is more in line with the temperament of the cruise ship. A little bit of Chinese elements can be added to the decoration.

There are many seafood restaurants in Hong Kong City now. The main reason is that the preservation technology of fresh food is underdeveloped. If diners from the mainland of Xiangjiang want to eat fresh seafood, they will choose restaurants on the water.

This kind of seafood restaurant is not cheap. One meal costs an average person half a month's salary, but diners are willing to pay.

"Western food, Japanese food, barbecue, seafood hot pot, different restaurants have different requirements for kitchen cooking tables. Pay attention to this when designing..."

"Entertainment facilities include cinemas, observation decks, song and dance symphony stages, chess and card rooms, There are also guest rooms, etc. I will ask Kowloon Aviation to submit a detailed request. "

Compared with the seafood boat, Lin Wei built it according to the specifications of a five-star hotel, so that it can be differentiated from the painting boat in the market and will not create too much competition.

The market for seafood restaurants is huge, and there is no need for her to steal other people's business. The main purpose is to provide blood transfusions to the shipyards, solve the current predicament, and increase revenue for the Kowloon shipping industry.

"The budget given is around 30 million, so you can feel free to implement your ideas boldly."

According to the size of the cruise ship, it can receive 20,000 to 30,000 people every day, and the cost can be recovered quickly. It can take one year, or as little as two or three years, to build a reputation.

"How did you come up with the idea of ​​turning the cruise ship into a seafood restaurant?" Takahashi always felt that Lin Wei always had some weird ideas.

Would ordinary people really think of using a cruise ship as a seafood restaurant?

Lin Wei showed a very bright smile and said: "There is no way, Bingxue is smart."

Everyone: "..."

Only Sun Muyin nodded very seriously and expressed agreement.

After becoming the richest man, Lin Wei faced all kinds of compliments every day. Instead of being self-effacing, joking was more effective.

Originally, Lin Wei thought this was a very simple small innovation that would relieve the current pressure on the shipyard.

But I didn't expect that such a small move would be blocked. Three months later, a seafood restaurant transformed from a cruise ship opened before Lin Wei's cruise ship.

The hastily renovated cruise ship was naturally not perfect and professional, but because of its freshness, it still attracted a large number of diners and caught the media's attention. The newspapers were full of praise and praise, saying that this idea was genius. .

When Lin Wei's seafood restaurant comes out again, I'm afraid it will be known as a follower.

Wu Ming commented: "Everything you say and do is being watched by others. They think that what the richest man wants to do must be a hugely profitable deal. If there is an opportunity to be the first, they will naturally not let it go."

Lin Wei did not miss it . To think that someone could do this, the main reason is that the speed is too fast.

She sighed: "If you can't avoid things, try to do things with a threshold."

In this era, you copy me, and I copy you. It all depends on consciousness. There is no legal protection, but you can copy, but you can't copy. Go ahead, this is a bit unethical.

"Who is the owner of the seafood restaurant?" Lin Wei asked.

Wu Ming sat down and said, "What do you think?"

Lin Wei looked at him and said hesitantly, "Could it be... Fu Wenfan?"

Wu Ming nodded: "That's a good guess."

Lin Wei leaned back in her chair, He chuckled silently: "He is leaning against a big tree to enjoy the shade now."

This is really endless. Didn't you come to him about the last incident in Macau? Here we are again.

It was impossible for Lin Wei not to be angry. She exhaled and asked, "Are there still no clues at Zhulian Temple?"

Wu Ming paused and shook his head: "No, but a lot of our people have gotten in."

"It's no use finding more people to become monks." Lin Wei frowned unconsciously, "It's really disgusting."

"Song Ye is checking him now. Fu Wenfan is also a government official, within Song Ye's scope of responsibility , Song Ye said that Fu Wenfan would definitely make profits for himself in disguise, and maybe there would be some unexpected gains. "

Lin Wei sighed softly: "I hope." But the sadness on his eyebrows did not go away.

"Find some time, let's go pick Song Ye back together."

Lin Wei paused slightly and looked at Wu Ming doubtfully: "Pick him up? Why, didn't he just come back when he wanted to come back? Why did

he still pick him up?" Ming avoided her gaze and began to straighten his cuffs. He said casually, "He is probably embarrassed. Let's pick him up and give him a step down."

Huh?

Lin Wei didn't think about it: "What step? If he doesn't come back, isn't it because the work is not finished yet?"

Song Ye said before that he would go home after the matter was over, so in Lin Wei's view, Song Ye refused to come back. It was just because the work was still a little behind that he still had scruples.

Wu Ming looked at her and hesitated to speak. Now that she had something to say, she couldn't lie, otherwise she would have to tell more lies to make up for it.

Lin Wei looked at his appearance and smiled helplessly: "You really think of him as too restrained. If he wants to do something, he doesn't need you to remind him and he will do everything possible to achieve his goal. Who can stop him?"

Wu Ming: "..."

He originally thought so too, but who knew that this thing was screwed up this time? He reminded him several times but was indifferent. Depending on his posture, Lin Wei had to pick him up. He held on for several months. .

It became inexplicably pretentious.

Then Lin Wei was also slow and simply didn't notice.

In fact, Lin Wei was a little wronged. She didn't have the ability to read minds. How could she know this?

I also feel that the distance between me and Song Ye creates beauty, and we are happily in love.

However, recently she was happy in love, but frustrated in her career one after another, and all the Central projects she followed up failed.

"As long as we reach a preliminary intention with a certain company, HSBC will proactively provide loan support to the other party." Kuman reported the recent progress to Lin Wei.

Wu Ming also said: "Now a certain tacit understanding has been formed. Many companies will take the initiative to negotiate with us, hoping to use this as a stepping stone to obtain loans from HSBC."

Real estate companies are having a hard time, and selling Central Real Estate is a last resort. , if you can get loan support, you will naturally not want to sell it.

Lin Wei gritted her teeth, her anger now reaching the top of her head.

There is a saying that cutting off someone's wealth is like killing one's parents. Although it is not appropriate, it still illustrates the seriousness of the matter.

Lin Wei hated Fu Wenfan and HSBC so much at this moment.

This is not the most serious thing. Lin Wei has long been eyeing Hutchison Whampoa. If HSBC intervenes again, then she will get nothing.

Now she doesn't dare to have any contact with Hutchison Whampoa. She just bought a few stocks in the secondary market. Hostile takeovers cannot be used easily. It will eventually turn into a takeover war and continue to drive up the stock price, especially in the case of No Enemy No Enmity. In this case, the impression is very bad.

Lin Wei took a deep breath: "All the companies that own Central Real Estate, plus some real estate companies that are on the verge of bankruptcy, all sent me a copy of the information."

She wanted to see how rich HSBC was and what it could do. "Save" many companies.

Lin Wei and Wu Ming made a new list, and then asked people to contact them. They reached an agreement with the company. If they could finally get a loan from HSBC, the company would charge an "intermediary fee." If not, they would have the power. Buy their property at a "good" price.

These companies are real and fake, some are targeted by Lin Wei and others, and some are thrown out as a cover-up.

Since she wanted to do charity, Lin Wei gave them this opportunity.

Although there are not many companies with real estate in Central, if HSBC wants to "rescue" them, it will definitely have to hemorrhage money. Besides, how can they be sure that these companies can pay back the money in the end? If it ends up being a bad debt, it's Mike's decision-making mistake.

This tug-of-war remained stalemate until the end of the year, with neither side able to determine a winner.

Such deliberate suppression, regardless of profit or loss, is really contrary to the original intention of a bank's profit requirements.

"I don't think you need to worry too much. It turns out that the projects she likes are all profitable in the end. She hasn't failed yet, right?"

Fu Wenfan raised his wine glass and smiled with Mike: "She can go Now is the best proof. Soon she will understand that her ability will become a hindrance to her progress." As he spoke, his eyes naturally fell on the woman in a white dress not far away.

Lin Wei is currently sitting with a group of rich ladies. Today is Yuan Ruxin's engagement party. For the first time, Lin Wei does not go out to socialize, but sits with the female relatives.

Mike withdrew his gaze: "She has not contacted Hutchison Whampoa, and she seems to have no intention of undertaking the subway project, so what do you think she means?"

Two major events have happened recently. One is that Hutchison Whampoa's stock price has dropped to two yuan. If it continues If it cannot successfully obtain financing and falls below one yuan, it will be delisted and encounter a bankruptcy crisis.

Second, at the end of the year, the government announced that it would invite tenders for subway projects and build a commercial property above the Central Station. This caused a lot of speculation and many companies were eager to try it.

But Lin Wei didn't react at all to either of these things.

Fu Wenfan smiled: "Forget it before. The more she doesn't move at this time, the more likely there will be problems. She is afraid that we will intervene. We have analyzed it before. It is impossible to lose by winning Hutchison Whampoa at this time. They just expanded too fast and stretched the front too long. If HSBC takes custody for a period of time, Hutchison Whampoa's stock price will definitely rise when the stock market crash is over. "

A few days ago, the Hang Seng Index fell to 150 points, and the stock market. Shock, no one dares to take over the mess that Hutchison Whampoa is.

He hopes that Lin Wei can take action, so that HSBC will support him to win Hutchison Whampoa. After all, the priority of enterprises is higher than that of banks. HSBC does not have the right to operate, but there is no way now. Everything must be in the interests of HSBC. First.

But now is not bad, he can wait for the situation to improve before taking over Hutchison Whampoa from HSBC.

There is also a subway project, and HSBC will definitely provide support for him.

Mike took a noncommittal sip of his wine and said, "I hope things go as you expected."

Fu Wenfan held up his wine glass and said with a smile: "Then we'll see."

The two clinked their glasses. Fu Wenfan was about to enter the wine glass when he felt a line of sight directed towards her.

Fu Wenfan paused, took a sip, and then looked over.

It was Song Ye. He was leaning on the white pillar, looking at each other. Song Ye gently raised his glass to him.

Fu Wenfan smiled, turned his head, and the smile on his face faded.

He knew that Song Ye was now targeting him. This mad dog would bite him to the death for a woman.

Fu Wenfan looked at the women gathered together to chat.

It happened that Yuan Ruyan turned around and the two looked at each other.

Yuan Ruyan smiled knowingly. No matter when, his eyes would follow her, which made her feel very warm.

Fu Wenfan is the most considerate man he has ever seen. It is very comfortable to be with him. Although it is not as exciting as first love, such a long-lasting life is what she yearns for.

"Don't cry, men, aren't they all like this? Like the new and hate the old."

"Ten years later, this Qiu Yicheng is really not a thing."

"Don't cry, there are plenty of men, and with so many wives, there can always be a choice for you. It's better."

"This Qiu Yicheng is really harmful. He has delayed me for so many years and then married someone else."

Everyone was talking about the scumbag.

Yuan Ruyan turned her head again, the smile on her face disappeared, looked at the sobbing woman opposite, and said: "It's not your youth that is called youth. The man has also devoted 10 years of his youth. Isn't it good to get together and part ways? Why do we have to be You are going around complaining, do you want us to scold you? But what good will this do to you?"

As soon as Yuan Ruyan said this, the surrounding area fell silent.

This new woman who has returned from studying abroad often makes unexpected remarks. If you refute her, you will definitely be silenced.

The sobbing woman looked at her and said aggrievedly: "Can it be the same? He said he would marry me. I waited for him for ten years and took care of everything for him. I paid for him to go abroad. , but now he has turned his back on me. "

It was going well at first, and the wedding date was already set, but when problems came up in his father's company, he pushed back the wedding date again and again, and finally married another woman.

"So what do you want to say? Because you have sacrificed, so he can't break up with you?" Yuan Ruyan crossed her long legs and said calmly, "If we can't break up if we are together, that is the really scary thing. So what if you get married? How can you get divorced? Nowadays, Hong Kong is monogamous and everyone is already married. Are you crying and pestering because you want to make someone younger? "

The woman's face turned pale. Bai, with trembling lips, was too angry to say a word.

The others were stunned when they heard this. It was indeed Yuan Ruyan. This was really cruel to hurt someone.

Yuan Ruyan crossed her arms and continued: "Why do you have to act like a resentful woman, as if you can't live without a man? Don't you think it's ugly to always stare at a man? Isn't it..."

In the middle of her words, she suddenly looked Xiang Lin Wei said with a smile: "Miss Lin, do you think what I said is right?"

Lin Wei was drinking tea. Hearing this, he looked at her and said with a smile: "Miss Yuan is right."

The woman's face became even worse. I feel so stuffy in my heart that I can't take a breath because I'm so speechless that I can't even say a word.

"It's just..."

Lin Wei put down the cup and said, "It's just a relationship of more than ten years. At some point, you have to look back and examine what you got in this relationship. Who is burning yourself to illuminate others, using your own To support each other with nutrients, who has been silently devoting to make others whole," she said unhurriedly. "In the end, who gained fame and wealth and got everything, who left with nothing, who was the beneficiary, and who was the fool. ...Everyone knows in their hearts that it's not okay for someone to pretend to be confused at this time."

The woman lowered her head, biting her lip and bursting into tears. The grievances she had suppressed for so many days finally had an outlet.

Yuan Ruyan's face turned cold. She looked at Lin Wei and said, "I'm doing it for her own good. Can't she get married? She has to hold on to a man? Even if a couple is no longer in love, they should still be together." Give each other dignity, how do you know that the man didn't pay? Didn't you hear her say? They were originally going to get married, but they just missed the opportunity. "

Yuan Ruyan is not strict with others but lenient with herself. That's what she did. Her ex-husband cheated. , she simply cut off everything without any complaints. She had never complained about the other party's bad words in front of outsiders, so she looked down on Xue Ya's behavior.

“If a couple plans to get married, poverty will not stop them. If they don’t want to get married, even if they are rich and powerful, they will not be able to get a certificate worth a few dollars. Who doesn’t want to be a free and easy person, and never look back? Not everyone leaves the scene gracefully..."

Lin Wei looked at Yuan Ruyan and said slowly: "Not everyone has a good father like Miss Yuan. Let alone a second marriage, you can marry as many times as you want. After all, There are many outstanding men like Mr. Fu waiting in line for Miss Yuan.

"What do you mean?" Yuan Ruyan stood up suddenly, her face was ashen, and she stared at Lin Wei.

She was reflecting that Fu Wenfan was with her only for money, which was something she would never tolerate. It was an insult to Fu Wenfan and even more humiliating to her.

"Mrs. Fu, don't get excited, you're still pregnant." Someone quickly spoke up, fearing that the two of them would get into trouble.

"Let's make a bet."

Lin Wei said nonchalantly, "If I lose, I will apologize to Fu Wenfan in public, and I will also publicly apologize to him in the media, so... Miss Yuan, do you want to bet with me? How about a handful? "
