Chapter 351

October 25th,

Legislative Council Building, Legislative Assembly Hall.

Inside the venue, the 60 members of the Legislative Council were sitting one by one.

On the stage,

Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu, in a suit, was so sunny that it was blinding.

"Honorable members of the Legislative Council, good morning everyone!"

"Today, I stand here because Hong Kong is facing an urgent and severe challenge—water pollution."

"...... Shing Mun River in Sha Tin District...... pungent stench, black river water...... a large number of industrial sewage pipes......"

The projector projected one photo after another of sewage flowing, dead fish everywhere, and sewage pipes discharging various kinds of sewage.

It was uncomfortable.

"The existing 'Water Pollution Control Ordinance', although it sets corresponding punitive measures, is it powerful enough when facing continuous, malicious environmental destruction? Do we need stricter regulations to truly deter those behaviors that ignore the environment and discharge sewage wantonly?"

"I propose to amend the 'Water Pollution Control Ordinance'......"

"Add a clause inside: for behaviors that continuously violate environmental protection regulations and cause water pollution...... impose a daily fine of 40,000 Hong Kong dollars......"

10 minutes later,

Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu finished speaking.

"Clap clap clap~~~~"

Thunderous applause.

Then the vote, unsurprisingly, the "Amendment Proposal" was passed unanimously.

Next were the proposals of other councilors,

At noon, the Legislative Council meeting ended, Si Ye, Zhang Guang, Li Huaming, and Yang Lin, the four tumors of the education sector, found Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu.

"Mr. Guan, congratulations, another proposal has been passed." Si Ye congratulated.

Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu smiled: "It's all for the citizens of Hong Kong, I actually hope I don't have to propose anything, and that the citizens of Hong Kong live happy lives."

Si Ye, Zhang Guang, Li Huaming, Yang Lin: "............"

Damn, too fake!

We are all hypocritical people, no need to be like this!

Si Ye smiled: "I wonder if Mr. Guan has time to have a meal...... last time we talked about eating, but in the end, we didn't eat."

Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu: "Sorry, I have something to do today, I might not have time to eat with you."

After speaking, he left with Gao Jin and the others without looking back.

Si Ye and the four: "............"

Their expressions were not good.

"What is he, Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu, doing?"

"He seems to be looking down on us!"

"Not seems, he really is looking down on us!"

"Damn it!"

Li Huaming was furious: "Next vote, I'll vote against him!"

Si Ye, Zhang Guang, and Yang Lin, who had just had bad expressions, heard this, their hearts skipped a beat, and they hurriedly pulled him back, advising:

"No need, no need!"

Leaving the Legislative Council,

Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu and Tan Meili parted ways with Gao Jin and Ah Wah, sat in a car, and arrived in Yau Tsim Mong.

Harbour City.

This time, the reason for coming was to select a site for the second Five Star Supermarket.

Last time Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu told the citizens that he would open a second Five Star Supermarket, and also said within a month, Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu naturally wouldn't break his word.

And Harbour City was one of the targets.

Speaking of Harbour City, many people from the mainland might not know it.

But the first large-scale Chinese capital vs British capital—Wharf battle, I guess many people know it.

Harbour City was built on the land of Wharf.

And Wharf was originally Jardine's (Hong Kong Land), Jardine later had a financial crisis, and in the end, it was taken by the Shipping King.

And just 1 month ago, the Shipping King passed away...... and then the shares began to be inherited by his daughter and son-in-law, Boss Wu.

And the one responsible for managing Harbour City was the son-in-law, Boss Wu.

As for how awesome Harbour City is?

The largest shopping center in Hong Kong currently, covering an area of 2 million square feet, with a total floor area reaching 8.4 million square feet.

The passenger flow is also the most fierce in Hong Kong.

"Mr. Guan...... long admired, long admired!"

"Mr. Wu, nice to meet you, nice to meet you."

Star Ferry Pier,

Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu and Boss Wu met formally for the first time, shaking hands.

Then Boss Wu shook hands with Tan Meili again: "Ms. Tan! Nice to meet you!"

Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu scrutinized the Boss Wu in front of him, hmm, very heroic...... really awesome, at least Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu hadn't heard of anyone else who was so awesome, the kind who directly inherited hundreds of billions of assets. A model of not having to struggle for a hundred lifetimes.

Of course, it was also because Boss Wu had this capability, being able to gain the affirmation of the Shipping King, after all, the Shipping King had several daughters, and sons-in-law in Japan, Singapore, etc.

And why wouldn't Boss Wu admire Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu?

If Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu's company went public, the hundred-billion level was certain.

And this time, it was he who took the initiative to invite Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu here for an inspection, wanting to put Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu's Five Star Supermarket in Harbour City.

That was a passenger flow of nearly 200,000 a day, already comparable to two-thirds of the passenger flow of the entire Harbour City.

Simply terrifying!

If he could pull the Five Star Supermarket here, then the profit of Harbour City would definitely increase by more than 30%.

However, Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu's thought was: this Harbour City is a bit "off".

But since Boss Wu invited him enthusiastically, he definitely had to come once and inspect it.

Cheung Kong Group.

"Simply a bunch of trash!"

Slap~~~~~

Boss Li looked at the "Five Star Supermarket Inspection Report" in his hand, his face livid. These reports were all written by the Watsons supervisors he had asked to go to the Five Star Supermarket for inspection last time.

The report was written very well, very detailed.

These supervisors, in order not to be fired by Boss Li, also racked their brains to write this report well.

They praised the Five Star Supermarket to the skies!

Every detail was being praised!

But!

The better the report was written, the more it showed how stupid the previous arguments of these supervisors—that "Five Star Supermarket definitely won't work", "walking too fast will tear the egg", "doing it this way won't work at all"—were.

The more he thought, the angrier he got!

Simply a bunch of trash!

Du du du~~~

The office door was knocked,

The secretary walked in.

"Boss!"

"Just received news, Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu and Tan Meili went to Harbour City......"

The secretary reported.

Boss Li: ".............."

Suddenly overwhelmed!

Five Star Supermarket went to Yau Tsim Mong, then the passenger flow of Wellcome and ParknShop supermarkets in Yau Tsim Mong would definitely be sucked away by Five Star Supermarket.

Think about the Hong Kong Island side,

In the 5 days since Five Star Supermarket opened (not including today), according to the reports of the managers of the 21 ParknShop and Wellcome supermarkets in Hong Kong Island, the passenger flow of these 21 supermarkets had dropped by 73% compared to the average level of last month!

Simply outrageous!

Even recharging and giving money away didn't work!

If this data were released, I guess the stock of Watsons would fall like a dog.

And in contrast, the Five Star Supermarket in Shun Tak Centre, Sheung Wan, had more than 150,000 people running to shop every day.

And now, if Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu ran to Yau Tsim Mong to open a store, then I guess the passenger flow of Yau Tsim Mong, even Wharf and Kowloon Tong, would be sucked away.

By then, the ParknShop and Wellcome in Kowloon would probably be dead.

Boss Li rubbed his temples and said to the secretary:

"You go do two things!"

"First thing: Watsons senior management, cut one-third of every level, I'll give you 10 days, give me a list."

"Second thing: Assemble the think tank and Watsons senior management to have a meeting in the afternoon, discuss the matter of Watsons establishing a new type of supermarket."

Now that the success of Five Star Supermarket has been proven, should Watsons follow up?

If they don't follow up, will they die?

Boss Li chose to follow up.

The name of the new supermarket, combining Wellcome and ParknShop, let's call it———— "Kangjia Supermarket"!

Supermarket ultimate evolution!

Kangjia Supermarket!

In the afternoon,

Many think tanks of Cheung Kong Group and Watsons senior management all attended the meeting.

Boss Li has failed many times now, and his temper has become a bit irritable.

Straight to the point.

Knocked the table.

"This afternoon there is only one topic—whether to establish a new supermarket, benchmarking against Five Star Supermarket!"

"Everyone, speak freely!"

After speaking, Boss Li looked at the general manager of Watsons Group.

The general manager's forehead was sweating, because he had already received the layoff order, and hurriedly expressed himself:

"I think, we must do a new supermarket!"

"Compared to our old, worn-out, small supermarkets, citizens prefer that kind of high-end, atmospheric, spacious, comfortable environment, neatly arranged items, high-quality service...... new supermarkets."

"Very obviously, our supermarkets are behind!"

Boss Li looked at the others.

"I agree!"

"I think we really should do a new supermarket! Invest 500 million first to try it out, do one, just treat it as an experiment."

A think tank said: "I've been to Five Star Supermarket, it's indeed extraordinary, after I've been there, going to ParknShop, I always feel something is missing."

Another think tank: "I have the same feeling."

Other think tanks nodded: "Same feeling, I've already started to like that Five Star Supermarket."

After a round,

After listening to everyone's opinions,

Boss Li actually!

Opinions were 100% unified!

Everyone felt that ParknShop and Wellcome were already behind!

Just like what Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu said: Five Star Supermarket is a cross-era supermarket!

"Good!"

Boss Li is a person with very decisive ability,

"Then we will also do this kind of new type of supermarket!"

!.

"Agree!"

"Agree!" *n!

All support votes!

Boss Li continued: "I plan to combine the names of Wellcome and ParknShop, let's call it Kangjia Supermarket! What do you think?"

"Kangjia?"

"No, there is a Kangjia Group in Shenzhen, doing electrical appliances."

"How about Kangjia (Cantonese ga), reflecting health, family, putting the customer's health first, treating customers like family, indicating that we value quality, service......"

"Hey, this is not bad!"

Everyone agreed again.

Boss Li: "Next, let's talk about the details of Kangjia Supermarket......"

Details?

Basically copy Five Star Supermarket. Isn't copying homework easy?!

Everyone agreed 100% for the third time!

However,

Boss Li still had a bit of doubt in his heart, which was that Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu's public support rate was so high, which was one of the reasons for the success of Five Star Supermarket.

Then how should Li's supermarket do it?

Boss Li had self-knowledge, now his reputation is not very good!

"Second son, I can only rely on you!"

At night, Boss Li invited the shareholders of Watsons Group, including the Li family, to have a meal together.

Talked about the new type of supermarket.

The shareholders still trusted Boss Li.

"I support!"

"I support!" *n

All support!

Boss Li: "Regarding the first store of Kangjia Supermarket, we plan to select the site in the Yau Tsim Mong area."

Everyone still agreed.

The next day,

Boss Li started to be vigorous and resolute, holding a press conference for all Hong Kong media.

"Friends of the media......"

"Today, I announce that Watsons Group will launch a brand new supermarket brand—'Kangjia Supermarket'. This name implies health, family...... blah blah blah~~~~"

"Wow~~~~"

All the reporters in the audience exploded directly.

"Boss Li, is this your counterattack against Five Star Supermarket?"

"May I ask if you are copying homework?"

"Boss Li, do you have confidence in defeating Five Star Supermarket? Re-defending the status of supermarket hegemon?"

One reporter after another asked frantically.

There was also a reporter, emotionally excited: "Boss Li, a week ago, didn't you claim that Five Star Supermarket would definitely fail? Why are you starting to learn from it now? Boss Li, where is your pride? Where is your persistence? You are slapping your own face! As your fan, I don't allow you to belittle yourself like this!"

Other reporters: "............"

Wow, this reporter is so good at asking questions.

Come come come!

Big brother, you interview first!

Then looking, the other party was a reporter from "Five Star Daily", and suddenly realized.

Almost sprayed with laughter!

You are so mean!

On the stage, Boss Li's face turned black.

This matter, it really feels like slapping his own face.

However, businessmen, swallowing one's pride is a necessary cultivation.

Finally, Oriental Daily didn't think it was a big deal: "Boss Li, may I ask if this is a declaration of war against Five Star Supermarket?"

Boss Li smiled confidently: "That's right, it's a declaration of war!"

He needed to give confidence to the outside world, save the decline of Cheung Kong Group, and harsh words must be released.

All the reporters in the audience were completely excited!

Good good good!

Big news is coming!

At noon,

ATV and TVB both reported Boss Li's press conference.

Causing heated discussions among all Hong Kong citizens.

Five Star Supermarket has almost become a regular guest in the news these days, with a large passenger flow every day, attracting many citizens to run and experience it, and it feels really good, completely different from ordinary supermarkets.

And now, didn't expect Boss Li to start imitating too.

At 13:00 in the afternoon,

The stock market opened.

Watsons' stock rose in response.

Rose by 5%!

However, after rising, it lacked stamina and couldn't rise anymore.

Not finished yet!

The next day,

Boss Li held another press conference, saying that in a shopping mall in Mong Kok, he directly rented a whole building, totaling 100,000 square feet.

The contract has been signed, construction will start immediately, and it is expected to officially open in 3-4 months.

At the press conference, he talked eloquently about various aspects of Kangjia Supermarket, talking like a river, emotionally excited, praising it...... making many reporters feel—————it's a win!

At noon, ATV and TVB continued to broadcast.

In the afternoon,

Watsons stock rose by another 5%!

Market confidence returned.

For a time,

Boss Li's reputation returned quite a bit.

"Hu boom~~~~~"

Just at this moment,

A plane came from Switzerland, swept over the half-demolished ruins of Kowloon Walled City, and landed at Kai Tak Airport.

A group of people in suits and leather shoes, but with a bandit air, walked out of the airport.

Professor! "Big Bullet"

Pu Guang! "A Letter to Father"

Brother Nan! "Long Hu Feng Yun"

Hua Tian! "The Stool Pigeon"

Ye Shiguan! "The King of Robbers"

Cao Nan! "The Storm"

Bandit Heaven Group!

They have already formed an organization!

After more than 2 months of layout, they have already laid out a net all over the world, although immature, it is already enough to use.

In the future, this net will become bigger and bigger, more and more mature.

"Let's go!"

"Go to Portland Street to happy tonight, start formal action tomorrow!"

"Get rich!"

"Get rich!!!"

The 6 people laughed loudly, got into the car and flew to Portland Street.

A new day,

They woke up from the pile of women in Portland Street, went downstairs to have breakfast.

Porridge, noodles, rice breakfast stall!

The 6 people each ordered breakfast, then bought newspapers, sat down and started reading.

The news headline was:

"Boss Li announces new supermarket plan, Cheung Kong Group stock welcomes big rise"

"Richest Man Li declares war on Five Star Group, investor confidence restored!"

"Boss Li vs Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu, who will win in the end?"

The 6 people looked at each other.

The target is here!

Boss Li?

or

Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu?
