The Wealth Empire Crossing the Hong Kong

Chapter 89

Xiangjiang real estate is recovering, and every real estate company is very concerned about land, especially the annual auction held by the Xiangjiang government. Most of the bigwigs present have real estate companies in their hands. The plots are of particular concern.

Since 76, the market has gradually increased, and every land auction is no less than a battle. In order to avoid internal friction with Chinese capital and ensure that everyone can keep their guns open, the role of the chamber of commerce has emerged.

In these years, the chamber of commerce has always served as a communication platform for the Chinese-funded families. Everyone communicated privately before the auction to determine their respective goals, so as to avoid price gouging at the auction.

However, as Wheelock and Wharf were acquired by Li Jianhui and Chartered King, British-owned real estate began to decline, Chinese-owned real estate gradually rose, and internal struggles and differences within the Chamber of Commerce became more and more serious.

In particular, several leading real estate companies have fierce competition, and they all hope to get high-quality land in their hands.

Li Jianhui and Zhang Guangwen became spectators at this time. Wheelock Group has no plans to acquire land except for the land in its own hands. The same is true for Guanghua Jianye.

This year, the two companies will try their best to finish the projects in hand. Next year, they will go all out to enter Tseung Kwan O, and cooperate with Xinhui Real Estate Company to build a new city.

As for the Hong Kong Island and Kowloon markets, Li Jianhui does not want to participate. He is too lazy to compete with these bigwigs. When the development of Tseung Kwan O is completed, Wheelock Properties will focus on RB.

Seeing that neither Li Jianhui nor Zhang Guangwen had spoken, Li Guobao specifically asked, "Jianhui, the government has offered a lot of good land this time, especially the land in Causeway Bay, Tsim Sha Tsui, and Mong Kok. Are you interested in winning one?" ?”

"Brother Guobao, Wheelock Group has no plans to expand this year. In terms of land, Wheelock is mainly located in Tseung Kwan O and Tin Shui Wai this year. The land prices in these places are relatively cheap. As for the urban areas, it is better to give up to Hang Lung, Cheung Kong, and Henderson. Wait for a strong company to compete."

Li Jianhui will also take advantage of the current opportunity to buy more land, but he will not pay a high price for urban areas, but chooses areas that have not been developed much, such as Tin Shui Wai and Tseung Kwan O.

After the funds are in place next year, he will enter the urban area to acquire a batch of large-scale enterprise factories, and these lands can be converted into commercial use at that time.

As for buying from the auction, Li Jianhui never thought about it. The cost of investing in that way is too high, which is quite uneconomical.

Seeing that Li Jianhui really didn't have much interest in this auction, Li Guobao didn't mention it any more.

However, he remembered Li Jianhui's key layout in Tseung Kwan O and Tin Shui Wai in his heart, and he wondered whether Chinese Real Estate would also win some land in these places.

Especially in the Tseung Kwan O area, the Jockey Club and the government have completed the preparatory work for the Hong Kong Polytechnic University, which is currently inviting public bids. The construction period is planned to be two years, and the first batch of students will be welcomed in the autumn of 1981.

With this university and nearly [-] employees in Huihong Industrial Park under Li Jianhui, the development there is just around the corner.

This real estate auction is destined to be more wolves and less fleshy. Li Guobao never thought that he could get a few popular plots. He thinks it is more practical to learn from Li Jianhui.

Although the popularity of remote areas is not as high as that of urban areas, and subsequent sales may face some difficulties, it is very easy to obtain land and the price is very low. Encounter.

Fortunately, the Xiangjiang British-funded consortium headed by Jardine is still relatively strong, and the battles among the major real estate giants of Chinese capital are still controlled within a certain range.

After nearly an hour of arguing and communicating, the main land was still divided, and everyone had their own goals.

As for whether they can win their own goals, it is still uncertain. After all, Jardine Land, Swire Properties, and Hutchison Whampoa are not vegetarians, and they will not let Huazi real estate companies round up the auction land.

After the meeting adjourned, Li Jianhui specially expressed his thanks to Huo Yingdong and the others. After all, these people helped him join the meeting this time. Even though he didn't care about it at all, it was their kindness after all.

"Li Sheng, I know you have lofty aspirations. The shallow water of the Xiangjiang River can't support a dragon like you. I only hope that you can take Xiangjiang as your root in the future and help Xiangjiang and this country as much as your ability allows."

From the moment Li Jianhui took control of Wheelock, Huo Yingdong knew that he and others still underestimated this young man after all.

After these days of investigation, they finally found some clues. Li Jianhui's second sister, Li Chunmei, often visited a company called Lanfeng Investment.

And the strength of this company is quite astonishing. Three funds in its hands control 15 billion pounds. It is rumored that it has a close cooperative relationship with the Duke of Belford's family in England.

Among them, the current Duke John Russell invested [-] million pounds in a fund under the Blue Maple Investment Company.

In addition, many aristocrats in England invested in several major funds to preserve their assets.

The 12% annual rate of return is quite attractive to these aristocratic families, especially those whose own business talents are not strong.

This also made Lanfeng Investment Company a star in the British aristocratic circle. Its general manager, Zhou Pengfei, and deputy general manager, Li Chunmei, were very popular among the upper class in England.

Under their deliberate investigation, Huo Yingdong quickly understood that the controller behind this company was Li Jianhui, which could also explain where Li Jianhui's funds in the battle for Wheelock Group came from.

MacLehose's actions in Xiangjiang, and the turmoil caused by Lanfeng Investment Company in London, all indicate that Li Jianhui's relationship with them is getting closer.

There have even been rumors that the British royal family is preparing to confer the title of Lord Li Jianhui to show the importance England attaches to him.

This is not even considered a title of nobility, but it is of great significance. In addition to the four major families, the Xiangjiang Chinese were awarded the title of Lord in 1976.

At least from this, it can be seen that the top management in England has ranked Li Jianhui with the four major families and the charter king. This is not a simple juxtaposition of wealth, but also includes influence.

He was not worried about Huo Yingdong, the charter king, he knew that he was still biased towards the mainland in his heart, and he still remembered that he was still a member of the descendants of Yan and Huang.

However, Li Jianhui, who has been cooperating more and more closely with Yinglun, can't see clearly. In the absence of expressing his position, their side still adopts a wooing attitude for the time being, but has raised his attention to another level.

Not just Li Jianhui here, including his brothers and sisters, and even his fiancée's family.

They don't want to wait for things to happen like this time, only to find out that Li Jianhui has established such an influential company in England quietly and established a friendly relationship with the high-level circle in England.

"Huo Sheng, please don't worry, I've always said that I'm a businessman who does his best, and I know very well what I can and cannot do.

And I am personally very optimistic about the future development of the mainland, and I am not willing to give up the market with a population of more than one billion. "

Li Jianhui knows that it is impossible to hide some things forever, especially in the current situation where there are not many people available in his hands, as long as someone who is interested in deliberately investigates, it will be difficult for him to separate the relationship.

He also expressed his understanding of some worries and concerns over there. After he enters Pengcheng with funds next year, he believes that the concerns about him will not be as great as they are now.
