Chapter 773 The Empire State Building is about to be completed!

December 20, 1982.

Monday.

A direct flight from San Francisco to Hong Kong landed safely at Kai Tak International Airport in Hong Kong.

A young woman in a skirt and sunglasses got off the plane.

Five months later.

He Chaoluo flew back to Xiangjiang again.

It's He Chaoluo's annual vacation time. Christmas is coming soon in the West, and Santa Clara University is also on vacation.

Her mother asked her to go to Canada to spend Christmas together, but He Chaoluo flew back to Xiangjiang.

He Chaoluo went out of the airport. She had already seen the housekeeper Lin Dezhong and the maid Azhu.

"Steward Lin, Miss Azhu."

He Chaoluo took off his sunglasses.

"Miss He, I finally see you."

He Chaoluo was coming back, and she had told Yang Ming in advance, and Yang Ming asked Lin Dezhong and Azhu to come here in advance to wait for her.

When He Chaoluo got on the Bentley.

The three of them left here in a car.

"Miss He, are you going back to the Villa on Jardine's Hill first?"

"Yes, Butler Lin."

Lin Dezhong drove to Jardine's Hill Villa.

Come there.

He Chaoluo took his things in first.

There was still no one here except the maid Mary. Mary still looked very happy to see the eldest lady back.

"Mary, I'll go to Sir Yang's place first and come back tonight."

. . .

Yang Ming is at the mid-level villa in Repulse Bay.

He has been waiting for news about the liquidation of Jianing Group.

Jianing Group owes debts to more than 70 banks and financial companies. The ones that owe the most are Yumin Finance, Huoduoli Company, and Huifeng Bank.

Bankers Trust of Country M, one of the historical creditors, applied to the Xiangjiang High Court to liquidate the Carnegie Group, which destined that the Carnegie Group would never be reorganized, and the once-prominent Carnegie Empire officially collapsed.

This time, after Huifeng Bank's incident with Jiani Group, Shen Bi immediately froze all assets of Jiani Group and applied for liquidation. The purpose was naturally to minimize losses as much as possible.

In addition, the assets of the Zhong family and Chen family were also frozen.

What Yang Ming wants is some good companies under the Jianing Group.

Yang Ming feels that Jianing Group's debt exceeds 10 billion Hong Kong dollars. In fact, its true value may only be worth 2 to 3 billion Hong Kong dollars.

Many of these two to three billion Hong Kong dollars are properties.

More than 100 companies are involved, including three listed companies. When the real estate crisis in Hong Kong passes, the value of these properties can still increase many times.

Huifeng Bank has negotiated with other creditors to sell all Huifeng Bank's assets and properties to the Imperial Group after the liquidation of Jiali Group.

On these matters, Meris sent people to negotiate with Huifeng Bank, Hudoli Company, Yumin Finance Company, and even other creditors.

While Yang Ming was thinking about these things, a Bentley stopped.

Yang Ming saw a woman wearing a skirt and long hair getting out of the car.

Isn’t it He Chaoluo?

"Mr. Yang, I'm back."

He Chaoluo was also a little excited when he saw Yang Ming again.

"Pansy, thank you for your hard work, come and sit down here."

Yang Ming and He Chaoluo went to the garden and sat down.

It can be seen that there is not much difference between He Chaoluo now and half a year ago. However, she flew back to Xiangjiang as soon as she had a vacation. It seemed that her mind was here.

Many things happened in Xiangjiang this year, including the Xiangjiang real estate crisis, the Xiangjiang Chinese-owned bank crisis, the Xiangjiang stock market crisis, etc.

Among them, the Chinese-owned banks in Hong Kong were in crisis, and Imperial Group swallowed up 11 Chinese-owned banks.

He Chaoluo, who was in Silicon Valley at the time, was shocked and speechless when he heard the news.

At this time, the strength of the Chinese banks under the Imperial Group was actually very strong in Hong Kong.

In addition to Overseas Trust Bank itself, which is the third largest local bank in Hong Kong, there is also Hang Lung Bank, which Yang Ming focused on cultivating, and is not small in scale. The remaining nine Chinese-owned banks are now spread across Hong Kong, and have even begun to develop in Nanyang.

As long as Xiangjiang citizens have confidence in these Chinese-owned banks, Yang Ming believes that in the future, the banks in Xiangjiang will not be worse than Huifeng Bank.

"Pansy, you came back just in time. You will go to see the Empire State Building tomorrow."

The land of the Empire State Building, the land of Murray House, was purchased in 1978 and constructed in 1979. It has been four years now and construction has been going on day and night.

Next year, if nothing else, the world’s tallest building will be officially operational.

Empire State Building?

As soon as He Chaoluo got off the plane, she could clearly see the shock brought by the Empire State Building.

"Mr. Yang, is the Empire State Building about to be completed?"

"It's in the final stages now."

Five years to build a 700-meter-tall building is neither too long nor too short.

The most important thing is that the Imperial Group does not lack funds and has always invested.

Historically, Yang Ming knew that many high-rise buildings were unfinished. Among them, the Juren Building invested by Shi Yuzhu was a typical situation where the capital chain was broken and led to unfinished buildings.

The Empire Group has sufficient funds, and Chinese architects I.M. Pei and his sons are supervising it. The Hutchison Whampoa Group and the Wharf Group are cooperating in the construction, so there is no possibility of problems.

Last year, Shen Bi was ready to hand over the reconstruction of Huifeng Bank to the Imperial Group.

Yang Ming suggested that after the Empire Group Building is completed, the Huifeng Bank headquarters business should be moved to the Empire Group Building first, and then the Huifeng Bank Building should be demolished and the fourth-generation Huifeng Bank Building should be built.

Shen Bi agreed.

In the past four years, Yang Ming has not actually gone to the Empire State Building to see the construction progress. He can see that the Empire State Building is getting taller and taller, and even makes other surrounding buildings feel an indescribable sense of oppression.

Including Shen Bi from Huifeng Bank, Li Jiacheng, chairman of Changchun Industrial Group, and Bao Yugang, chairman of Universal Group in Prince's Building, they felt that the Empire State Building was too tall and too big, which made them feel intimidated.

. . .

Have a night's rest.

The next morning.

Yang Ming, He Chaoluo, Mai Lisi, Ma Shimin, Wei Li, Li Caixin, Bao Fuda, Wei Peter, Xia Boyin, Mou Shili, Albert and others.

Executives from Empire Group and its major groups came to visit the construction progress of the Empire State Building today.

At this time, it has been built to a height of more than 600 meters, and the rest is mainly internal decoration.

Yang Ming and his group took a car and arrived near the Empire State Building.

Getting off the car.

In addition to EG security personnel, there are also many nearby sires present here.

All the executives in charge of engineering at the Empire State Building are also here.

Yang Ming and others put on white safety helmets and headed towards the Empire State Building. Yang Ming and others looked up and saw that this building was taller than Victoria Peak.

He also had a different kind of shock for the first time.

As for He Chaoluo, Tang Shilian, Lin Xiuzhi and others, they were really shocked when they looked at the building up close.
