Chapter 354: Entering Hong Kong
After Liang Meiqin's approval of the housing decoration plan, Du Shaojie sent her to the border, and she returned to Shenzhen alone.
After returning, Liang Meiqin told Cai Jing that she wanted to resign and go to Hong Kong.
Cai Jing knew that Du Shaojie had called her, and although she was a little reluctant, she still agreed to Liang Meiqin's resignation request. However, Liang Meiqin still had a lot of work to hand over, and she could not leave until a month later.
Du Shaojie continued to wander around Hong Kong, and he still needed to buy a villa.
Now the housing prices in Hong Kong have risen compared to previous years, but the overall price is not too outrageous. He took a fancy to a single-family villa in the middle of Repulse Bay, which was priced at 8.86 million Hong Kong dollars.
Du Shaojie talked with the other party several times, but the owner did not reduce the price by a penny.
He liked this location very much, and the structure and layout of the villa were good. After several times, he no longer had the intention to bargain. Seeing that he was very sincere, the owner finally gave 60,000 Hong Kong dollars as a token of his intention.
The villa was sold for HK$8.6 million. If the owner and his family had not immigrated, they might not have been able to buy it at this price.
It happened that the decoration company was doing construction on Liang Meiqin's house, and Du Shaojie was too lazy to find anyone, so he handed over the decoration of the villa to that company.
As of now, there are still HK$51.46 million left in his personal (HKD) account.
After paying the decoration advance and various taxes, there is still HK$50 million left in his personal (HKD) account.
After being busy for so many days, Du Shaojie finally had some free time. After thinking about it, he still called Wang Liwen.
He didn't know whether Yu Mo told the other party after the last encounter, but it was not good to come for so long without seeing each other.
"Ajie, you finally remembered me? Meiqin left, right? Then let's have dinner together tonight."
Wang Liwen was different from Liang Meiqin and Qi Yan. She had no plan to get married from the beginning.
Since she went to study abroad, Du Shaojie and her have been apart for a long time, and both of them have become accustomed to each other's living conditions.
"Yes, Meiqin has left. Then, when do you get off work, I will pick you up."
Du Shaojie did not explain, and agreed on a time and place with the other party before hanging up.
In the evening.
Wang Yongli and Zou Xiaohe drove Du Shaojie to the hospital gate, and Du Shaojie found that Wang Liwen had also bought a car.
But it was normal to think about it. The other party was a high-income class in Hong Kong, with a doctorate degree and superb medical skills, so buying a house and a car should not be a problem.
The two had a meal together and then chatted all night.
The next morning.
Du Shaojie took out the gift for the other party, and Wang Liwen seemed very happy.
Although she did not need anyone's financial support, she needed spiritual comfort.
When he returned home, Du Shaojie received a call from the manager of the agency, saying that a storefront had just been listed for sale and asked Du Shaojie if he was interested.
He had been dealing with the other party constantly these days, so this call was not abrupt.
"Let's go and take a look first. You tell me the address and I'll go directly there."
Du Shaojie had nothing to do, so he asked Wang Yongli and Zou Xiaohe to go to see the house together.
Buying a storefront was not in his plan, but if there was a suitable storefront, he could buy it, either for personal use or for rent.
From now until the return of Hong Kong in 1997, in his memory, the housing prices in Hong Kong have increased tenfold in 10 years, and buying a house (residential, commercial, office) now will not be a loss.
"Mr. Du, this is the storefront, with two floors, the area is not small, very suitable for opening a restaurant."
The area of this storefront is about 300 square meters, which is 4,000 square feet according to Hong Kong's custom.
The owner offered HK$6.66 million, including taxes and fees, but the payment must be made in one lump sum.
Du Shaojie noticed that this area is not a very prosperous area, and it cannot be compared with those areas in Central where every inch of land is worth a lot of money, and of course the housing prices are not that high.
This asking price is definitely a bit high, but it should be negotiable.
"The house is OK, but the price is not very reasonable. So, you tell the owner that he will cover all the taxes and fees, and I will pay 6 million Hong Kong dollars in one lump sum. If he is willing, he can sign the contract, otherwise forget it."
Du Shaojie was too lazy to bargain. He was very clear about the current housing prices, so he just offered 6 million Hong Kong dollars.
When the manager heard this, he immediately found a place to make a phone call and came back after a long time.
"The owner was not very happy at first, but after hearing that you were paying in one lump sum, Mr. Du, he finally agreed. Please wait a moment
, he will be here soon." The manager's face showed a bright smile. This was a big deal, and he could also benefit a lot personally.
Du Shaojie nodded, and after waiting for more than 40 minutes, the owner finally arrived.
The next thing went smoothly. It only took a few days to sign the contract, transfer the ownership, and pay the money.
Du Shaojie had to find a new decoration company and signed a decoration contract of 600,000 Hong Kong dollars.
Excluding this decoration fee, his personal (Hong Kong dollar) account still had 43.4 million Hong Kong dollars left.
At home, he called Meng Gang and asked him to bring people to Hong Kong. Since Meng Gang and others did not have a pass, he issued relevant documents through the investment company, which delayed them for a few days.
After the people arrived, he took them to the newly bought storefront.
"Mr. Meng, I want to open a [Xichuan Restaurant] here. I bought the storefront and I will advance the decoration fee. We will settle the bill later."
Du Shaojie's plan to open a store in Hong Kong was not a decision made on a whim.
He and Meng Gang had discussed the matter of going out of the mainland many times before, and now it was just a matter of action.
Meng Gang was happy to see this happen, but he was not sure about the business.
It had been delayed until now, and now it was finally a natural outcome, and he could realize his previous ideas.
Meng Gang then looked at the decoration design drawings and felt very good.
After all, Du Shaojie was an expert, and this matter was not difficult for him, so he did not wait for Meng Gang and others to arrive and made a decision in advance.
"Mr. Du, I am not familiar with Hong Kong. What should I do with the remaining registration procedures?"
"Of course, I will entrust the consulting service company to do it. In addition, our company will land in Hong Kong, and the legal service area must also be strengthened. I will have to find a better law firm later."
Du Shaojie explained a few words to Meng Gang and then called a consulting service company.
He had cooperated with the other party before and was considered an old customer of the other party. There was still some trust in each other.
In the next few days.
Meng Gang followed the business personnel of the consulting service company, ran through the process, and learned a lot.
Hong Kong and the mainland are different in many aspects. If you don't participate in the whole process, you won't know the way.
Du Shaojie has been considering the chef for the new store these days.
First, Liao Yongxin and Zhou Huai'en were ruled out. Their cooking skills are impeccable, but they are too old and not suitable to come here to create a situation.
After thinking about it, he decided to transfer Liu Ziwang to Hong Kong.
Liu Ziwang is young and energetic, and his cooking skills have improved a lot. He has become the pillar of the company.
As for the manager, he decided to let Feng Bin come after careful consideration.
Feng Bin is flexible and principled in his work, and he is very talented in languages. He can now speak fluent Cantonese and English.
Looking at the company's many stores, [Xichuan Restaurant] Shenzhen Store receives the most foreigners, and Feng Bin's ability is also among the best.
The key is that he has won Du Shaojie's trust.
Due to practical reasons, the number of people he can transfer from the mainland is very limited, but some employees still have to be recruited locally.
He plans to let Tian Feiyu be Liu Ziwang's deputy.
Tian Feiyu has already obtained the first-level chef certificate and is currently striving to become a special chef.
There was a time when Du Shaojie even thought of accepting Tian Feiyu as his apprentice, because the other party has great potential and his future achievements are limitless.
It is just the right opportunity to let the other party exercise more.
However, before Tian Feiyu came to Hong Kong, he planned to solve the other party's special third-level chef qualification first.
He then called Tian Feiyu and Luo Sankun and explained Tian Feiyu's examination for a special chef.
In a few days,
Liu Ziwang, Feng Bin, Tian Feiyu and others came to Hong Kong.
Meng Gang and the others have returned to Shenzhen. The registration of the new company has been completed. They are just waiting for the decoration to be completed before they can open.
Feng Bin and the others were not idle when they arrived here. They immediately started recruiting personnel, organizing personnel training, etc.
There is no need to find a training venue outside. A space in the office building bought by Du Shaojie is enough.
The investment company is just a framework and there are not too many employees for the time being.
Liang Meiqin came to Hong Kong as scheduled after completing the handover of work. She will serve as the deputy general manager of the investment company. The general manager position is temporarily vacant. Du Shaojie is looking for people through a headhunting company.
After all, she has never worked in this field and needs someone to guide her.
After such a long time of hard work, Liang Meiqin's non-permanent residence certificate has also been issued.
Qin Lu did not have to trouble her to do this, and Mr. Wei from the consulting company helped her to get it done directly. After all, Liang Meiqin has real estate in Hong Kong, and it is not difficult to apply for non-permanent residence.
If you want to apply for "permanent residence" in the future, you can get it in a few years.
Liu Ziwang, Feng Bin and others do not have this treatment for the time being, but after working for a period of time, it will be fine. Let's talk about it later.
After Liang Meiqin took office, she first isolated the company's office area, and then added some office furniture and office supplies.
The other areas are divided into offices of varying sizes for rent.
This entire floor of real estate is under the name of the investment company, and the rental income is enough to maintain the company's basic expenses.
Next, she discussed with Du Shaojie and started recruiting personnel.
First of all, it is expatriates. Except for one person in charge who must be recruited in Hong Kong, other personnel can be recruited in Shenzhen.
The expatriates will regularly inspect the company's investments in the mainland, including [Shencheng Bailian Catering Management Company], [Shencheng Dongsheng Investment Co., Ltd.], and [Shencheng Jinxing Real Estate Development Company].
In addition, two expatriates will be stationed at [Shencheng Dongsheng Investment Co., Ltd.].
