Chapter 339: Charity Football Club
There has been a wave of price increases in Hong Kong's housing prices.

John's administration also knows how to seize opportunities. Seeing that the market is good, they immediately announced that they would put up the reclaimed land on Salisbury Road in Tsim Sha Tsui East, Kowloon for auction!
The developer bought this sea area adjacent to the land, reclaimed land, and then built on it.

It is across the sea from Hong Kong Island and next to Tsim Sha Tsui, so the location is extremely advantageous.

In the 1970s and 1980s, Hong Kong's nightclubs were concentrated in this area, and gangs also loved fighting and killing during this era. Nightclubs were the goose that laid golden eggs that everyone liked.

Wang Yuanchao naturally saw the conditions of the land being auctioned.

The starting price is 700 yuan per square foot.

hiss--

That’s equivalent to 6300 per square meter! One acre of land costs more than million!
Wang Yuanchao worked hard for half a year to draw cartoons for Feimeison and Hasbro, but the money he earned was only enough to buy these two acres of land!

Wang Yuanchao's previous purchases were all small buildings in remote areas, or industrial land, or even the countryside of Yuen Long in the New Territories. Compared with the land in Tsim Sha Tsui East, the gap is really huge. Not to mention the land in Zhonghuan, Hong Kong Island!

Of course, this is the land price. If it is converted to floor price, this kind of seaside land, the residential building has 20 or 30 floors. If it is spread out to the floor, one square foot is only a few dozen yuan, which is not so terrible. A luxury house by the sea can still make a lot of money, right?

Wang Yuanchao's Pacific Industrial has always been a small-scale business, so it still needs to set a benchmark. Otherwise, how can the Far East Club go public?
Real estate is the golden bull.

Now that he has spent money to buy the land, he does not need to spend any money himself in the future, whether it is taking out a loan or raising funds through an IPO. Moreover, he can safely survive several economic crises. Hong Kong no longer poses any challenge to him.

It's nothing more than a matter of how quickly you get rich and how long your wealth lasts.

And with the contract with Feimeison, I can go to Citibank for a loan!

Yes, the American bank Citigroup had its presence in Hong Kong as early as 1902, with its headquarters in New York.

The golden bull of real estate has started to move, and every investment will bring huge returns.

"Brother, what are you thinking about?"

Wang Yuanchao's entire mind was focused on the piece of land in Tsim Sha Tsui East that was about to be auctioned.

...Omit 30,000 words...

Chen Xueru limped as she helped the sweaty Wang Yuanchao clean up. The happier she felt at the beginning, the more suffering she felt afterwards.

Wang Yuanchao didn't know whether it was because of the training during the battle between the three heroes of the United States and Lu Bu that his fighting power soared.

Liu Qijin begged for mercy directly, Lou Xiaoe could not bear the beating, Letty fought back reluctantly, and even Chen Xueru could not hold on.

But it just takes a little more effort.

Chen Xueru was still panting and said:

"You went to the beautiful country, but you don't dare to take action against the foreign horse. You are so depressed, right?"

Wang Yuanchao smiled and said:
"Even foreign horses can't stand my ability! By the way, I want you to help me with something."

Chen Xueru carefully wiped off the sweat on Wang Yuanchao's face and said:
"Am I not helping you now? Don't you have shares in the clothing store?"

Wang Yuanchao said:

"That little bit of shares is nothing. I can't make much money from it in a whole year."

Chen Xueru said:

"I was planning to open my own shop when you no longer needed my help. So what do you want me to do?"

Wang Yuanchao lay there, not wanting to move, and said:
"If you want to start your own business, I will naturally support you. As a woman, if you have your own business, you will be more attractive."

Chen Xueru patted him with a towel and said:

"Didn't I tell you what you want me to do?
I will definitely help you if I can.

Unless you don’t want my help.”

Wang Yuanchao laughed and said:

"You know, I can make millions a year by selling horse racing tickets for the Jockey Club.

But this money is too hot to handle. I plan to set up a fund with this money to invest in sports and schools.

We definitely don't have the qualifications to run a school, so I plan to run a sports club.

I will strive to set up a football club in every district in Hong Kong. Under each club, there will be a football training school that recruits children of all ages who have dreams.

The club teaches cultural knowledge in the morning and trains in the afternoon. In other words, it is a school in disguise of a football club.

understand? "

Chen Xueru certainly understood, but she didn't understand why she had to do this. She said:
"If you really want to open so many clubs, I'm afraid your millions won't be enough!" Wang Yuanchao said:

"So I'm just a primary school in football disguise. Teaching Chinese, letting them know our roots, and learning some Mandarin is enough. I don't expect it to go too deep!
But for smart and hardworking kids, I can give them scholarships, use the money to sponsor them to go to school, and then work for me after graduation.”

Chen Xueru still didn’t understand:

"Then what made you think of doing this? This is not like your usual style."

Wang Yuanchao was silent for a while and said:
"After a trip to the United States, I found that the gap between the two sides is too big. The wages there are five or six times higher than ours! Starlight Pictures has artist training classes, and Blizzard Animation is also running painting training classes. In the future, my business will grow bigger and bigger, and I will need more and more talents. I can't wait until I need them before recruiting them, so I have to train talents first."

Chen Xueru rolled her eyes:

"to be frank!"

Wang Yuanchao smiled and said:
"To be honest, I have to spend all this money, so that others won't be jealous. I've used it all for charity sports, right?"

Chen Xueru brought Wang Yuanchao a glass of warm water and said:
“Then why do you want to start a football club?”

Wang Yuanchao took the water and drank it all in one gulp. All the cells in his body came alive. He said:

"Because John likes it. They always say that modern football originated from John. They are happy when I organize this!"

After Wang Yuanchao came back, he naturally took stock of the various industries and businesses. Basically, each had a dedicated person in charge, and they were progressing in an orderly manner according to the budget and plan formulated at the beginning of the year.

The only exception was the horse racing ticket business, because he did not appoint a general manager to be in charge, and only had an auxiliary financial department, so the store managers all worked hard to move forward.

Although it is still May, horse racing ticket sales have already reached two-thirds of last year’s level!
If nothing unexpected happens, horse racing ticket sales will most likely hit a new high this year.

Preparation is the key to success, so he must act early.

The horse lottery is a golden goose. Although the profit is not big on the surface, it brings considerable benefits to radio stations, newspapers and other units, and also helps to support a lot of people.

He originally wanted to wait for Lou Xiao'e to graduate and come to help manage the business, but now, he can't wait any longer.

In this business, for now, only Chen Xueru can be considered as his relative, right?

Chen Xueru’s main job is to spend the funds in a valuable way. As for the management of horse racing ticket sales, it is like a running carriage. You can’t just brake whenever you want.

In the final analysis, it is still a disguised way of transferring profits to Wang Yuanchao's other industries.

Talent is also interest.

Moreover, as for football, Wang Yuanchao thought, if Hong Kong football becomes stronger, it would also bring glory to Hong Kong football.

Soon, Chen Xueru resigned from her position as manager of the Victoria Women's Wear Zhonghuan Store and took up the position of general manager of the Hong Kong Horse Racing Ticket Sales Agency and Foundation.
-
"Oh, damn, that Chinese guy donated all his money again!"

"Not only that, newspapers and radio stations also reported it extensively, saying that John culture is taking root in Hong Kong!"

"Even His Excellency the Governor happily invited them to a banquet."

Someone in the Hong Kong Jockey Club has indeed been keeping an eye on Wang Yuanchao’s horse racing ticket agency, because based on the current situation, if nothing unexpected happens, this year’s horse racing ticket sales will most likely reach 4 million!
Not counting the profits, the bonus alone will be 800 million Hong Kong dollars!
The super-rich Johns in Hong Kong naturally look down on these small amounts of money, but they also have relatives, friends and classmates. If there is no resistance, these people will naturally want to make this money.

But now, Wang Yuanchao has brought out a woman as a shield and announced that he would donate money to build a football club in Hong Kong Island, East Kowloon, West Kowloon and the New Territories, recruit children of appropriate age and equip them with a complete echelon of coaches, in order to contribute to Hong Kong's football career.

At least John's authorities, and even the governor, fully recognized this, believing it to be a powerful manifestation of John's cultural influence.

Governor Trench even invited the owner of the horse racing agency, Mr. and Mrs. Wang Yuanchao, and the general manager, Ms. Chen Xueru, to have dinner together.

What does this mean? It means that this is the result of the Governor’s administration!

If John made this money, would he still do this? Definitely not!
Does the Governor still have any credit?

It’s definitely gone!

If there is a contract dispute and the case is taken to court, will the court require the Jockey Club to continue to implement the original cooperation agreement?
Of course it is necessary, the court is supported by the governor!
Those in the Jockey Club who were thinking of making moves will now have to give up.

After all, the Jockey Club and Wang Yuanchao have a real 20-year contract!

If Wang Yuanchao does not donate the money, they have plenty of ways to collude with the authorities and the courts.

We are all John’s people. Shouldn’t John’s people help John’s people?

But now, with the authorities supporting Wang Yuanchao, these little people, although they are also ordinary people, certainly cannot afford to offend the authorities. Their relatives who are big shots will not offend the authorities because of a business worth 18 million.

Wang Yuanchao, he directly donated the money to the governor to make cultural achievements. He would rather not make any money than let these John people take advantage of him!

Bitch!

Wang Yuanchao ignored those petty intrigues. He was invited by the Governor of Hong Kong to talk about football culture and his desire to build Hong Kong football into an outstanding representative in the Federation. From now on, when people talk about Hong Kong football, they will know that it was thanks to the support of Governor Trench that the great progress was made.
