Chapter 398 Riyada Group Headquarters

After staying in Hong Kong for one night, although Chambers and Yuan Lianman were very thoughtful and enthusiastic, they were unable to meet Chairman Wang, the board of directors of Riyadha Group. Fu Gangting was always a little uneasy, fearing that there would be something wrong with Chairman Wang's.

In the morning, Fu Gangting woke up early. He was still thinking about Chambers' promise to meet Chairman Wang today. But after looking at his watch, it was only seven o'clock now, and Fu Gangting just wanted to endure it. He has been to Hong Kong many times and knows the habits of Hong Kong people. The night life is rich and he always wakes up late in the morning. From seven o'clock in the morning to eleven o'clock, he did not see Chambers and Yuan Lianman coming, and there was no call. Fu Gangting was anxious when he waited for this, and felt that his white hair had increased.

He looked at his watch again and decided to wait for another half an hour. If Chambers and Yuan Lianman had no news, he could only call and ask. Although doing so seemed a bit impatient and lost his identity, compared with his identity, this large project with an investment of 50 million yuan was obviously more important. Moreover, as long as you bring this project back to M&B, it would be a significant political achievement. As for losing some face with Hong Kong people, who would know about M&B?

Fu Gangting was thinking about it all over his mind, but Chambers called, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry." Chambers said on the phone, "I woke up a little late this morning. I just went to the company to handle something. Now I have time to call Secretary Fu. Please wait a moment, Manager Yuan and I will rush over together."

Fu Gangting was about to ask Chambers when he would meet Chairman Wang, but Chambers hung up the phone, and Fu Gangting couldn't call him. He thought to himself, anyway, Chambers would come over in a while, so it would be not too late to ask again when he met.

Chambers rushed over but was already early at twelve o'clock. He kept explaining to Fu Gangting that there were many cars in Hong Kong, and if they knew it or not, Hong Kong would be more inclined to the mainland. There were not so many cars in the mainland, so it was very smooth to drive.

Then Chambers arranged for dinner. Fu Gangting asked, when will Chairman Wang be free? Chambers smiled and said, "Chairman Wang is having dinner with German guests. When the German guests are sent away, Chairman Wang will be free. Secretary Fu, don't worry, after dinner, I will invite you to visit the headquarters of the Riyadha Group."

The lunch arrangement was luxurious and not wasted. Everyone could eat well, but not leftovers, which well reflects the characteristics of Hong Kong people. Director Zhang Yilei expressed his feelings to Secretary Fu Gangting that it was better for Hong Kong people to be used to it. Unlike in the mainland, the dishes were as good as flowing water. Everyone had a round belly and they didn't even want to take a look at the expensive dishes, but the dishes were still as flowing water. They were put on and removed, and the final outcome of the best dishes became feed for pig farms.

Director Hu and Director Wang wanted to laugh when they listened to Director Zhang Yilei's feed for raising pigs, but they couldn't laugh. As long as they endured it, it would be very hard to hold it in.

After eating fruit, Chambers asked Secretary Fu Gangting if he wanted to take a break? He knew that mainlanders all had the habit of taking naps, but Hong Kong people did not have the habit of taking naps. In the consciousness of Hong Kong people, naps are actually related to laziness.

Fu Gangting said, "No, I've been resting for a whole morning." Chambers smiled and said, "Okay, please ask Secretary Fu to lead the team to visit our Riyada Group headquarters."

There were still two cars, one luxury Mercedes-Benz and the other luxury BMW, carrying Fu Gangting and four of them moving forward steadily in the Che River, and soon arrived at Tsim Sha Tsui. Chambers and Yuan Lianman led the way in front and led into a twenty-five-story office building. Chambers also explained to Gangting that because it is close to the seaside, the height of the building is limited and cannot affect the sea view.

"Otherwise, there wouldn't be so many office buildings with more than twenty floors here," Chambers said.

Zhang Yilei interrogated: "It's better for Hong Kong. The government and the people are of high quality, and they attach great importance to the harmony between economic development and the environment."

Fu Gangting smiled and said nothing.

Take the elevator to the 11th floor. There are three companies on the first floor. The headquarters of the Riyada Group is on the left. The lady at the reception desk at the door is very beautiful. She greets Chambers in fluent English, and then greets Fu Gangting and others in soft Mandarin. Director Hu followed Fu Gangting and Zhang Yilei and saw the beautiful front desk clerk's eyes are big, his chest is bigger, his skin is white, and his voice is soft. He sighed in his heart: "Capitalism is so filthy corruption. Even a receptionist uses such a beautiful girl."

The headquarters of Riyada Group is extremely luxuriously decorated, but the area is not large, about five or six hundred square meters. Fu Gangting and Zhang Yilei were a little disappointed, feeling that the headquarters of Riyada is not as good as those introduced in the online information.

Chambers led Fu Gangting and others to visit the company and took Fu Gangting and others to the company reception room. Another beautiful mixed-race clerk came over to deliver distilled water to several people, and then walked out gracefully, causing Director Hu and Director Wang to drool again. Soon, the third beautiful clerk came in with a stack of promotional brochures in his hand and sent a copy to Fu Gangting and others in front of each of them.

Chambers said: "This is the information of our Riyadha Group, you can take a look."

Fu Gangting and others opened the brochure and started reading it.

Yuan Lianman sat beside Fu Gangting and said, "Secretary Fu, our Riyada headquarters is 5,200 square feet in total. Although the area is not large, it is our own property of Chairman Wang. Unlike other companies, they are all office buildings that are leased."

Fu Gangting listened with a smile, but did not speak. Zhang Yilei interrupted, "Mr. Yuan, how much does it cost to have such a large office building?"

Yuan Lianman said: "The prices of office buildings in Hong Kong are the most expensive in Central, Tsim Sha Tsui and Causeway Bay. The rent of office buildings in Tsim Sha Tsui is HK$30 per foot per month. For example, our Riyadha headquarters has a total of 5,200 square feet, and the monthly rent is more than 150,000 Hong Kong dollars, which is equivalent to your mainland RMB about 160,000."

"160,000?" Director Wang exclaimed, "Will the rent alone cost nearly two million yuan that year?"

Fu Gangting looked at Director Wang with his eyes. Director Wang then realized that he had insufficient cultivation. He acted like a local bun in front of Hong Kong people, and lost the face of Secretary Fu and couldn't help but feel embarrassed.

Yuan Lianman seemed to have not noticed these and continued: "Of course, our Riyada Group does not have to pay rent, because this is our own property of Chairman Wang. When Chairman Wang bought this office building, he spent more than 60 million Hong Kong dollars."

Such a small office building of five or six hundred square meters costs more than 60 million Hong Kong dollars? Director Wang was about to exclaim again, and suddenly caught a glimpse of Secretary Fu's serious face and quickly closed his mouth.

Chambers smiled and interrupted, "Actually, our Chairman Wang lost money. In 1996, the time when the land and housing prices in Hong Kong were at the highest. If it were placed now, it would be taken down less than 50 million."

Less than 50 million is still an astronomical figure. Officials in Beijing, including Fu Gangting, were secretly shocked, but everyone tried their best to control it and did not show it. At this time, Fu Gangting and Zhang Yilei's feelings of disappointment with the Riyada Group were wiped out.

Chambers also introduced: "Because Hong Kong's land prices are expensive, in fact, our Riyada Group is only based in Hong Kong, and the factories below are all located in the Philippines, Malaysia and Indonesia."

Fu Gangting had just noticed it in the brochure. Judging from the pictures, Riyada Group's three factories in the Philippines, Malaysia and Indonesia are not small in size, and they are mainly used to produce auto parts.

While chatting, the beautiful mixed-race clerk came in and said to Chambers in vernacular (that is, Cantonese) that Chairman Wang asked him to go out to answer the phone. Chambers said in Cantonese, it doesn't matter, it's time to transfer in.

Fu Gangting pretended to be confused, but in fact he was listening very carefully. He had a strong language ability. He visited Hong Kong many times and said that he had countless times in Shenzhen and Guangzhou. Although he could not speak vernacular language, he could barely understand 80% of the meaning when he listened carefully.

After the mixed-race clerk left, the telephone extension in the reception room rang. Chambers received the call and asked in vernacular: "Hello, Chairman Wang, what are you asking?" A voice came from the phone. Fu Gangting tried hard to prick up his ears and listened clearly, but he couldn't hear it clearly. Chambers replied: "I know, I know, I will take them first, and you can accompany the German guests with peace of mind."

After putting down the phone, Chambers said apologetically: "Secretary Fu, Director Zhang, I'm sorry. Chairman Wang and the German guests will need some time, and they will not be able to come back at about 6 pm. He told me to take you back first and have dinner together until the evening."

These words correspond to what Fu Gangting just heard, which made Fu Gangting very relieved. Although he had to wait until six o'clock in the evening, he had already visited the headquarters of the Riyada Group and Chairman Wang agreed to meet him. So Fu Gangting said, "Chairman Wang is so busy, so busy!"
