Rebirth: The Era of Hong Kong Tycoon

Chapter 125 [Party 2]

In 1970, when real estate was booming, Zheng Yutong agreed to purchase the old site of Swire & Co., Blue Chimney at a sky-high price of 1.31 million Hong Kong dollars; this land is located in the coastal area of ​​Tsim Sha Tsui, with a total area of ​​20 square feet; because it was purchased by agreement, the purchase price It is not expected to be paid off until 1972.

It can be said that almost all of Zheng Yutong's money was invested in this deal!

During this period, the so-called large Chinese-funded real estate companies almost all had assets of 2 million to 3 million Hong Kong dollars, even a fraction of that of British-funded real estate companies; , announced in March this year an investment of 2.58 million Hong Kong dollars to build a 1.5-storey Kangle Building.

It can be seen how ambitious Sha Dantong is!
When Zheng Yutong heard Lin Rongheng's "praise", he was very grateful.

Many friends and colleagues are asking: "Is it worth it to buy the land at such a high price?"

What Zheng Yutong wants to say is: "I just like big projects!"

In fact, the funds for this land have already drained Zheng Yutong's net worth. In the past two or three years, he has no funds to move the Blue Chimney land; if it hadn't been for New World's IPO next year, which raised 1.6 million Hong Kong dollars, Zheng Yutong would not even be able to sell the Blue Chimney land. It was not until 1975 when real estate began to flourish that Zheng Yutong decided to start building the 'New World Center'.

Zheng Yutong said modestly: "The payment for that piece of land has not been paid in full. It is a big or small project. I have to ask you for your experience in this area. I think you are very good at designing shopping malls."

Although Lin Rongheng is not a professional designer, he has always visited a lot of commercial centers in the future market. In addition, he has learned a lot about real estate in this life, so he proposed a lot of constructive ideas for the design of the "Galaxy Center". idea.

For example, the plan for the central hall: the first to fifth floors are opened up, leaving a cylindrical space, so that the performance in the central hall on the first floor can be watched by the audience like the Colosseum in the ancient Roman era.

Facing Zheng Yutong's advice, Lin Rongheng didn't hide his secrets too much. This gathering was originally for everyone to exchange real estate experience, so we couldn't just talk about everything.

Zheng Yutong was aroused when he heard it, and finally said excitedly: "Lin Sheng, if you were me, how would you build the land of Blue Chimney?"

Lin Rongheng said with a smile: "I haven't really thought about it, but I was thinking, what would the Hong Kong government want to see this piece of land become? I think they must hope that the buildings here can represent Hong Kong and become Hong Kong. A landmark. Since they think so, is it clear that they are willing to sell some of the surrounding open land to Zheng Sheng? This is obviously a matter for discussion. In this way, the site area is larger, and the shortcomings of the height limit over there can also be covered. Isn't that better?"

Zheng Yutong's eyes lit up, and then his heart was shaken. Would this person apply to the Hong Kong government for a piece of land first, and then blackmail himself!
"Lin Sheng was joking! The land of more than 20 square feet has already cost me all my wealth. Besides, the land there is all beautiful land. With the current appreciation speed of real estate, I am afraid that the prices around are sky-high!"

Lin Rongheng didn't comment or not, he only said what would happen in history, even if Zheng Yutong wanted to do it now, he didn't have the strength, so it was inevitable to hide something from others!

It seems that because Lin Rongheng is a newcomer, everyone likes to chat with him.

Li Chaoren took the time to come up and said: "I heard that Lin Sheng bought a piece of land in Deep Water Bay. It seems that we will be neighbors in the future?"

Lin Rongheng said with a smile: "I haven't started work yet, and it will take several years to be neighbors with Li Sheng! But I will move to Repulse Bay recently, and it is not far from Li Sheng, so we can play golf together!"

Although it will be a competitor in the future, it does not affect making friends now.

At this time, Lin Rongheng was also a real estate developer, and he had no reason to hate Li Cucumber anymore;

Lin Rongheng put himself in the situation and thought, if he invested a lot of money in the Mainland, would he not earn the last penny? '

Not earning the last penny is Li Ka-shing's business motto. Let's take a simple look at it: the stock may rise to 10 yuan, but if you sell it at 8 yuan, you will not feel disappointed afterwards. This is "not earning the last penny" The principle of "money"; even if you guess that the stock will rise to 10 yuan, you will choose to throw it away at 8 yuan.

Li Chaoren readily agreed. At this time, everyone can be said to be friends, and even if there is any competition, it will be kept in secret.

No specific cooperation project was reached at this gathering. After all, everyone is now concentrating on the development of residential buildings, so there is no need to cooperate; only in commercial building projects, do you think of cooperation; or large-scale Residential projects, but during this period, there were very few large-scale residential projects in Xiangjiang, and even if there were, they were the patents of British-funded real estate companies.

Since the listing of these real estate companies in 1972, their strength has soared in an instant, and they have caught up with British real estate companies.

5 month 10 day.

On land No. 66 of Deep Water Bay, the groundbreaking ceremony was being held, and Feng Shui master and monks were invited to join in the fun; it was not because Lin Rongheng was superstitious, but because his subordinates had such a heart.

Both Mr. Fengshui and the monk said that the land of Lin Rongheng was a treasured land of Fengshui. Lin Rongheng thought in his heart, could it not be a treasured land of Fengshui?I picked this land (satellite map) based on the memory of my previous life.

Lin Rongheng held a new shovel tied with red silk in both hands to cultivate the foundation stone, and then Lin Rongheng and some guests cultivated the soil in turn; the guests were all Lin Rongheng's executives, and no outsiders were invited.

After the foundation laying ceremony was over, Zhang Ruohuai stepped forward and said, "Boss! I'll look after this project for you, and I promise to make it beautiful for you!"

Lin Rongheng smiled and said, "It's fine if you come to supervise once in a while, there are so many things about Evergrande Real Estate!"

Everyone came forward to congratulate Lin Rongheng one after another, and the land was full of joy for a while.

The small hill where the land No. 66 of Deep Water Bay is located is actually not the same as the small hill of No. 79 Deep Water Bay owned by Li Chaoren; and the small hill where Lin Rongheng’s land No. 66 Deep Water Bay is located, it is impossible to build a house on the top of the hill because there is no more Location.

That is to say, Deep Water Bay No. 66 is higher than Deep Water Bay No. 79 in height.

The top of the mountain at No. 79, Deep Water Bay, has been cut down by later generations, and many high-end properties have been built; the mountain at No. 66, Deep Water Bay, has a lot of flat land behind it, and many properties can be built.

What Lin Rongheng was interested in was not the land behind the mountain, but the land below No. 66 in Deep Water Bay. He would buy them all and build a large villa as a long-term investment.

Because the land of Deep Water Bay No. 66 is large enough, Lin Rongheng did not choose to build a podium for parking vehicles, but directly built a three-story villa on the flat land; of course, there must be a basement, but it exists as a treasure house.

There is a swimming pool and lawn in front of the villa, and a parking lot and a small court (badminton) in the back.

After the villa is completed, there are 36 rooms in total, including 18 bedrooms.

Lin Rongheng couldn't help thinking, and he didn't know if the An's sisters would like to live together in the future, so that the two women could have many children and make the most of this villa.

If Annie doesn't want to live with her sister, she can only go to No. 4 Repulse Bay!

Lin Rongheng also had ideas about Big Wave Bay, and wanted to build a larger mansion, but it was intended as his own residence, and he didn't want to give it to a woman.
