Chapter 239 The frightened bird
"Fang, I'm sorry to ask, does BYD need investment?"

This Moroccan prince is no playboy. He is really capable. At least when it comes to companies that are worth investing in, he has strong judgment and the ability to take action.

Through the visit and test drive just now, he was convinced that BYD had a bright future, so he shamelessly told Fang Hexuan directly.

Fang Hexuan smiled slightly, neither refusing nor agreeing, but said mysteriously:
"BYD's first model will be launched in October in the second half of the year. Only then can I determine whether external capital injection is needed."

His Royal Highness the Prince rolled his eyes and smiled, "I understand," then shook hands with Fang Hexuan firmly.

Fang Hexuan is quite keen on making friends with world celebrities. It's not that he is vain, but he thinks that such top connections are sometimes very useful, and it is never a bad thing for him to have more of them.

Therefore, although he did not immediately agree to the prince's request, the richest man Fang Da did not hide his strength at all.

There were some itineraries that were not originally planned, such as visiting the Far East Financial Centre (not yet named, to be replaced by a future name) in Central, which will be topped out in a month or two, and the future Hong Kong Twin Towers, whose foundation has already been dug.

"Your Highness, if you visit Hong Kong again in five or six years, you will definitely see the twin towers that soar 550 meters into the sky."

The Moroccan prince looked at the construction site in full swing and had a more intuitive understanding of Fang Hexuan's financial resources. He also exclaimed in cooperation:
"Yes, 550 meters high is unimaginable. I am really looking forward to that day."

The beautiful princess next to him also smiled sweetly and said:
"Haha, Mr. Fang is so young, but he dares to think and act. He is really a young talent."

"It's a pity that I don't have a sister, otherwise, I would definitely introduce her to you."

Fang Hexuan did not look embarrassed at all, but said generously:

"Thank you for your kindness, Princess. If you really have a sister, I don't think anyone would refuse this beautiful lady."

The princess covered her mouth and smiled, and she really enjoyed the flattery of Fang Hexuan.

After visiting several of his large construction sites in Central, Fang Hexuan then invited the two guests to take a yacht to see his island estate in Wong Ma Kok.

Fang Hexuan hasn't been to Huangmajiao since the celebration in early October last year.

Half a year later, on the original 10-meter-high concrete base, a filling project with an area of ​​40000 square meters and an average height of 60 meters has been completed.

I didn’t feel much of it before, but now looking at it from a distance, I thought it was the coast extending from Huangma Cape.

This artificial island is quite spectacular when you look at it up close.

"Fang, you mean, this place was originally a sea level?"

Seeing the princess's face full of disbelief, Fang Hexuan smiled and nodded:
"I applied to the Hong Kong government for permission to enclose an area of ​​about 40000 square meters of sea, with an average water depth of 8 meters. We first spent more than a year building the seabed base and the concrete foundation on the water surface, and then completed the landfill of about 50-90 meters on it. Eventually, this will become an artificial island with a maximum height of 100 meters."

After listening to his explanation, the Princess of Morocco's mouth formed an O shape, obviously amazed at the huge scale and complexity of the project.

His Royal Highness was very direct:

"Fang, you are different from many wealthy people in Hong Kong. How much do you plan to spend to move to such a remote island?"

"Two years ago, a fortune teller estimated that it would cost more than HK$8 million, but according to the current depreciation of the Hong Kong dollar, I think it will eventually cost more than HK$10 billion."

"Oh my god, that's $2 million?"

The princess interrupted in shock.

"Probably so."

The prince also nodded, but did not continue to ask. Everyone is smart, and he certainly knows why Fang Hexuan brought him and his wife to visit here.

Not only was he not angry, he was even somewhat happy.

This shows that Fang Hexuan attaches great importance to establishing friendship with him.

The yacht circled the unbuilt island on three sides before returning to Central with the farewell of the sea breeze.

4月21日，3名劫匪携带两支手枪和一支AK47抢劫了深水埗一家珠宝行，拿走超过1200万港币的贵重首饰珠宝等物品。

This robbery caused quite a stir in Hong Kong, and even Blackwater International was implicated.

There are two reasons why the impact is so great.

First, the criminals were armed with heavy firepower weapons, AK rifles, and any uniformed police officer who dared to intercept them would be in trouble.

Secondly, the amount of money robbed was the largest in Hong Kong's history, exceeding tens of millions of Hong Kong dollars. Such a loss is unbearable for any company.

MacLehose, who was due to step down in less than a month, was also a little angry and ordered the Hong Kong police to solve the case within a limited time.

Of course, this is basically just a gesture, and there is no guarantee that we can catch anyone.

Maybe this group of people are the big circle gangs from the mainland. After robbing the property, they might flee back to the mainland immediately.

At that time, there were no surveillance equipment such as cameras, and the three robbers were completely masked. It would not be a task that could be completed in a short period of time to find clues about these people.

Many shops or companies in Hong Kong's retail industry that specialize in selling luxury goods are in a panic.

The Hong Kong police are also under tremendous pressure. After all, they know that they will not be able to do business in peace until the robbers are caught.

After the jewelry store robbery, a long line of business owners, both big and small, lined up to consult Blackwater International for security services.

This is really not an exaggeration, there are at least thirty or forty people.

If Fang Hexuan had not appeared, these shops would at most hire one or two insignificant bodyguards to watch over the place. If they really encountered armed bandits, they would probably run faster than the shop assistants.

But now that Blackwater International has established a reputation in Hong Kong, everyone has a better choice.

Fang Hexuan had never thought about providing security services like sending bodyguards to stores because he looked down on it.

But now, they have come to my door, and if I don’t agree, it would seem like I will lose my reputation.

There was no other choice but for Blackwater International to recruit again, but this time it could target Hong Kong locals.

Although we plan to recruit local Chinese, the selection criteria are quite strict.

Those who have been involved in gangs are not accepted, only children are not accepted, and effeminate people are not accepted. In short, the standards are a bit like Qi Jiguang's selection of soldiers in Yiwu.

Once recruited, all benefits will be preferential. At the very least, the Hong Kong version of "five insurances and one fund" is absolutely guaranteed.

To put it bluntly, Blackwater International's strict recruitment is one thing, but it also has to solve most of the material worries for bodyguards who are willing to risk their lives.
