The richest man

Chapter 216 The Most Bullish Lujiazui in History
After the Zhongguancun Science and Technology Park project was approved, the construction team immediately moved in to start construction and level the land. Huaren Land has its own design institute, which began designing for the Zhongguancun Science and Technology Park more than a year ago.

Many blueprints and blueprints have been completed, and now just build.

For a time, the entire Zhongguancun Science and Technology Park has become a large-scale demonstration and flourishing construction site.

It will take at least four years for Legend Technology's headquarters to be fully completed.

……

……

As we all know, the richest man in the world is Zhang Jun.

The second richest man in the world, unexpectedly, is not an American, but a Japanese named Tsutsumi Yoshiaki.

Yoshiaki Tsutsumi, the head of Japan's Seibu Group, is almost unknown in Japan.In the late 80s, his wealth reached its peak. The Seibu Group bought about 16% of the land in Japan and controlled most of the operating real estate in Japan. billions of dollars.

Sony founder Akio Morita once commented on the richest man in Japan: "Among the young entrepreneurs in Japan today, there are not many who can be as courageous, talented, and decisive as him!"

In this life, because of Zhang Jun's appearance, Seibu Group controlled slightly less land, but the amount is still amazing.

If Chinese Land wants to cash out, it should be faster to find Seibu Group.

In fact, when Tsutsumi Yoshiaki learned that Chinaland was selling properties, he began to contact Chinaland.

If Yoshiaki Tsutsumi wanted Seibu Group to take a step forward and control more Japanese real estate, he had to buy the real estate of Chinaland.

Therefore, Tsui Yiming contacted Ma Shimin, the general manager of Chinese Land.

Tokyo.

In the Mandarin Oriental Hotel built by China Landmark, the two met.

Ma Shimin knows Tsutsumi very well. Seibu Group is the main competitor of Chinese Land, and Ma Shimin spends a lot of time dealing with Tsutsumi.

This time, Yoshiaki Tsutsumi made an appointment to meet with himself, probably because he planned to buy the real estate business of China Land in Japan.

Thinking of this, Ma Shimin was quite happy.

With Seibu Group taking over, Huaren Land will cash out faster.

"President Yoshiaki Tsutsumi, hello!" Ma Shimin extended his right hand and greeted Yoshiaki Tsutsumi enthusiastically.

"Hello, President Ma!" Di Yiming smiled and shook hands with Ma Shimin.

After exchanging a few pleasantries, the two walked into the private room, and then ordered the waiter to serve the food.

"Manager Ma, I heard that China Land is selling its real estate business recently?" Tsui Yoshiming pretended not to know and asked.

Ma Shimin sighed slightly, and said: "Indeed, you know, our company has recently taken over a big project and is building the Zhongguancun Science and Technology Park in mainland China. , It is estimated to cost 400 billion US dollars. Besides, my boss is investing heavily in telecommunications business worldwide, and wants China Land to build a large number of Legendary Plazas in the mainland, so the funds are low, so I have to sell China Land Real estate business in Japan!"

After finishing speaking, Ma Shimin showed a regretful expression, expressing that he was very optimistic about Japanese real estate.

Yoshiaki Tsutsumi also knows Zhang Jun's recent actions very well. With so many investment projects, it is certain that there is a shortage of money. It is normal for China Land to want to cash out funds from Japan.

Right now, Japanese real estate is still very crazy, and no one knows how long this madness will last.

Tsutsumi Yoshiaki is still very optimistic about Japan's economy, otherwise the Seibu Group under his control would not continue to expand blindly.

"Since Huaren Land wants to sell its real estate business in Japan, it is better to sell it to Seibu Group. I can give Huaren Land a very satisfactory price!" Tsutsumi said.

After a moment of silence, Ma Shimin said, "As long as the price is right, China Land can sell its real estate business to Seibu Group, but what our company needs is cash!"

"No problem, the Seibu Group can borrow from the bank." Tsutsumi said confidently. The Seibu Group is in full swing, and many Japanese banks are willing to lend to the Seibu Group.

Moreover, the real estate business owned by Chinese Land is relatively good in geographical location, which is a high-quality asset.

After a while, the waiter began to serve the food.

Because Tsu Yiming reached a cooperation agreement with Ma Shimin, the meal was extraordinarily delicious.

The two agreed to start formal negotiations tomorrow.

After dinner, Ma Shimin returned home and immediately called Zhang Jun to briefly report what happened tonight.

Zhang Jun couldn't help laughing when he heard this.

The Seibu Group will be the receiver at this time, and next year, it will not be a loss.

"Okay, as long as the price is right, I will sell it to Seibu Group." Zhang Jun said, anyway, someone else came to buy it on his own initiative, and he didn't deliberately trick the other party. When the time comes, the Japanese economic crisis will break out, and he can't blame himself.

The next day, in the morning of Tokyo, the sky was bright and clear.

Tsutsumi was excited and brought a negotiating team of more than 20 people to the location of the Japanese branch of China Landmark.

Ma Shimin also led the company's top management to greet him at the entrance of the building.

"President Yoshiaki Tsutsumi, welcome to China Landmark!"

"Haha, Manager Ma brought so many people to welcome me, it's so polite."

"Should be..."

Ma Shimin led the crowd to a large conference room, and then handed over the real estate information that Chinese Land was about to sell to Tsui Yiming.

Yoshiaki Tsutsumi and his team have studied this information for a whole morning, and the formal negotiation of quotations will have to wait until the afternoon.

At this time, Chinese Land only has about 33% of its real estate business left, and Ma Shimin's valuation is US$500 billion.

At around 3 o'clock in the afternoon, Yoshiaki Tsutsumi and others finally made an offer of US$450 billion.

Tsutsumi seized on the eagerness of Chinese Land to cash out and offered a price lower than the current market price.

Of course Ma Shimin disagreed.

The two sides started negotiations on the price issue.

However, Huaren Land is selling while negotiating, and Seibu Group is not the only company that is interested in the real estate of Huaren Land.

The Seibu Group protested and demanded that Chinese Land not sell any more assets during the negotiation period.

But the protest was ineffective, and Ma Shimin expressed his helplessness.

"This is our boss's decision, and I can't object to it. Therefore, if you Seibu Group wants to buy more real estate business, you need to reach an agreement as soon as possible!" Ma Shimin spread his hands and shook his head.

Seeing this, Yoshiaki Tsutsumi was very angry, but there was nothing he could do.

People don't worry about selling it, and many people rush to get it. If Seibu Group doesn't hurry up, it will only have soup in the future.

Next, negotiations between China Land and Seibu Group were extremely frequent. In the end, Yoshiaki Tsutsumi compromised and offered US$485 billion to win the remaining real estate business of China Land.

After the two parties reached an agreement, Seibu Group began to raise funds from major Japanese banks.

Since the acquisition this time is the high-quality real estate business of Chinese Land, all major banks are willing to give Seibu Group a mortgage loan.

At the beginning of January 1990, the two parties finally completed the transaction.

Chinese Land in Japan only has "Legend Plaza" and "Mandarin Oriental Hotel" in Tokyo.

After Seibu Group completed this acquisition, its reputation was greatly enhanced, and it was in the limelight for a while. Yoshiaki Tsutsumi's personal net worth rose to more than 300 billion US dollars.

Countless people in Japan adore Tsutsumi Yoshiaki.

"Yoshiaki Tsutsumi is so powerful, he really gave us Japanese a sigh of relief by buying so many properties owned by China Land! Yoshiaki Tsutsumi is indeed the richest man in Japan!!!" A melon eater looked at the newspaper, Excited, as if he was the one who bought these real estate projects.

"My god, the Seibu Group is too rich, 485 billion US dollars, I dare not even think about it, I can't make a fraction of it in my whole life!"

"Seibu Group bought so many properties, what does this mean? It means that our Japanese real estate will continue to grow rapidly! Brothers, hurry up and buy the stocks of listed real estate companies, and you will definitely make a lot of money!" A stockholder blushed with excitement , Said to several of his friends and stockholders.

Following Seibu Group's acquisition of China Land's real estate business, the Japanese stock market skyrocketed.

Experts and professors, real estate companies, stockholders, etc. are frantically advocating the prosperity of Japanese real estate, and staged the last madness...

At this time, if you short Japanese real estate on a large scale, you might be able to make a fortune.

But Zhang Jun dare not do it. Selling real estate by himself is different from shorting the stock market. The latter offends the whole of Japan and has no good fruit. If Zhang Jun is only engaged in the financial industry, he is not afraid. The key is that his main business is industry. Many products will be sold to the Japanese market, for fear of being blocked.

Japan's economic crisis is about to break out, which has nothing to do with Zhang Jun.

He quickly transferred a huge amount of funds from Japan, and then invested in the Mainland, Taiwan, Singapore and South Korea.

……

……

This year, the mainland is preparing to develop Pudong, and will soon formulate a development policy of "developing Pudong, revitalizing Shanghai, serving the whole country, and facing the world".

Pudong is much worse than Puxi now.

The locals even described it like this, "I would rather have a bed in Puxi than a suite in Pudong."

This shows how backward Pudong was at that time.

Pudong is located at the estuary of the Yangtze River, the location of "Yuzui" on the map of Shanghai.It stands to reason that coastal development should have prospered long ago, but 100 years ago, the most prosperous place in Shanghai was not Pudong, but Puxi, which has been prosperous ever since.The Bund was the golden wharf of Shanghai a hundred years ago.Until 30 years ago, Pudong was still a tidal flat, separated from the bustling city by a river.

At this moment, Zhang Jun has arrived in Shanghai and is talking with the leaders of the city government.

"Leaders, I heard that the government plans to develop Pudong, isn't it?" Zhang Jun asked, although he knew the news from his previous life, he didn't know the specific situation.

"Mr. Zhang is very well informed. We are indeed planning to develop the Pudong area!" The city leaders heard Zhang Jun's question and probably guessed that Zhang Jun planned to invest in Pudong, and immediately became excited.

Zhang Jun is the vane of the international investment community. Wherever he invests, international funds will flow there.Moreover, he is also a super rich man himself, and every investment is a big deal.

Hearing this, Zhang Jun smiled and said, "Leaders, I can invest in Pudong New Area!"

"Mr. Zhang is able to invest in Pudong New Area. We welcome you very much and will definitely give you the most favorable conditions!"

After a pause, the old secretary asked, "I wonder how much Mr. Zhang plans to invest?"

Hearing this, Zhang Jun spread five fingers of his right hand and said slowly, "500 billion dollars!!!"

As soon as the words fell, the old secretary almost didn't fall.

$500 billion? !

So much investment is too scary and unimaginable.

The old secretary thought he had heard it wrong, so he couldn't help asking, "Mr. Zhang, are you sure you mean US$500 billion?!"

Zhang Jun smiled and nodded: "Yes, at least 500 billion US dollars to be precise, and it is very likely to be more!"

The 500 billion US dollars does not need to be invested all at once. In fact, the entire project will take about 10 years, and there will be no financial pressure at all.The reason why Zhang Jun proposed the staggering US$500 billion at the beginning was to calm the other party.

This is the Pudong New Area. If you invest in it now, you will make a lot of money in the future.

After confirming that Zhang Jun plans to invest 500 billion US dollars, the leaders were immediately excited and asked Zhang Jun where he planned to invest.

Standing in front of the map, Zhang Jun pointed to the location of Lujiazui, and said, "I want to buy this land and build it into a national-level financial center in China's Yangtze River Economic Belt."

After speaking, Zhang Jun ordered the secretary to take out the design drawings of Lujiazui and pass them to the leaders.

The design drawings of this Lujiazui are very different from the Lujiazui in the previous life. Zhang Jun invested so much, of course, to create a miraculous building complex.In addition to famous buildings such as the Oriental Pearl TV Tower, Shanghai Tower, Shanghai World Financial Center, Shanghai Jinmao Tower, and Tomson Yipin, Zhang Jun also included famous buildings from various places in his previous life, such as the Burj Al Arab in Dubai. Hotel" and "Burj Khalifa", Saudi Arabia's "Mecca Royal Clock Tower Hotel", Malaysia's "Twin Towers", Britain's "Shard", Singapore's "Marina Bay Sands Hotel", the United States' Hearst Building", the "Lotte World Tower" in South Korea, the "World Trade Center" in the United States, etc...

The tallest building in the world is the Burj Khalifa in Dubai, which is more than 800 meters high, and the total investment is only 15 billion US dollars. At this time, the US dollar is still relatively strong, so it should not cost that much money.

To build so many complexes, $500 billion is more than enough!
At this moment, the city leaders were stunned.

With so many high-rise buildings, my God, Lujiazui will probably become the most eye-catching place in the world.

The leaders were stunned and looked at each other in blank dismay. There was an incomparably hot light in their eyes. The excitement on their faces could not be concealed, and their breathing had become very rapid.

"Mr. Zhang, will the Lujiazui area be built according to the above drawings?" The old secretary looked at Zhang Jun and asked excitedly.

Zhang Jun smiled and nodded, "Yes, all construction is done according to the drawings!"

hiss! ! !
"Ah, if this is the case, the city government is willing to sell the land in Lujiazui to you at a very low price!!!" The old secretary said immediately.

"Thank you secretary, once we sign the contract, the initial start-up capital of 50 billion US dollars will arrive immediately! Chinese Land will build Lujiazui into the world's most famous financial center as quickly as possible!!!"

"Okay, okay!" The old secretary nodded excitedly after hearing this.

"There are too many, Mr. Zhang, who designed these buildings? I took a look, and they are simply dreamlike designs!" The old secretary finally couldn't help asking.

Zhang Jun smiled lightly: "I designed the general framework, and then the architectural design institute of China Land Company will check and fill in the gaps and make improvements!"

Hearing this, the eyes of the old secretary and the surrounding leaders looking at Zhang Jun changed again, full of admiration.

genius!

This is genius!

Zhang Jun actually has an unparalleled talent in architectural design!

Incredible!

How can a person's talent reach this level? !
It's simply a monster!

It can be said that there is no one before or after!
Many leaders couldn't help but be impressed by Zhang Jun's talent.

The next day, Zhang Jun signed an agreement on the construction and planning of Pudong Lujiazui with city leaders.

Zhang Jun bought Lujiazui at a very low price and demanded that the project be started within one year. The land cannot be hoarded for development, otherwise the government has the right to take back the land.

The melon-eating reporters looked at the aerial view of Lujiazui on the wall and were stunned.

"This... this is the future Lujiazui. Hit me to see if I'm dreaming?!" A reporter said to his companion.

"You didn't dream, I saw it too. To be honest, I was so shocked. Even the most prosperous New York in the United States is far inferior to the future Lujiazui!!!"

"Zhang Jun is so awesome, I'm so convinced!"

"..."

The reporters looked at the aerial view of Lujiazui and almost forgot what they were here for.

For a moment, the reporters blushed, shouted, and asked Zhang Jun questions one after another.

Zhang Jun asked Ma Shimin to deal with the reporters. After signing the contract, he said goodbye to the leaders and went back to the hotel to rest.

On the same day, the reporters took pictures of the bird's-eye view of Lujiazui, and then rushed to send them to their companies.

Needless to say, the aerial view of Lujiazui soon became a global sensation and caused heated discussions.

In the field of architectural design, the design drawings of these high-rise buildings have attracted the admiration of countless talented designers.

"The people who designed these buildings are absolutely super geniuses!" Marcus Hubbard, president of SOM Architects, said in shock, and a group of colleagues nodded in approval.

"Boss, look here, and the name of the designer..."

Before he finished speaking, the voice stopped abruptly.

The person who just spoke was already dumbfounded!
Zhang... Zhang Jun, how could it be him? !
At this time, everyone looked in the direction that the man pointed at, and all of them immediately showed expressions of astonishment.

"Could it be a mistake? Zhang Jun also understands architectural design? Could it be someone with the same name and surname..." A man said weakly. He was not completely sure that Zhang Jun did not understand architectural design, because Zhang Jun He is really too monstrous, and he has achieved unmatched achievements in many fields.

Marcos Hubbard took a deep breath and said with emotion: "Don't guess randomly, it should be the Zhang Jun we know well, and only he can design so many high-rise buildings full of fantasy, fashion and grand atmosphere! "

At this moment, Zhang Jun has unknowingly become the ceiling in the history of architectural design, unmatched by anyone.

……

……

"Hurry up and go to Shanghai, our company must get a piece of land in Pudong, Shanghai, no matter how high the price is!" A real estate developer in Hong Kong shouted anxiously.

"Boss, what happened? Why do you want to invest in Pudong, Shanghai? As the saying goes, 'I would rather have a bed in Puxi than a suite in Pudong', and you will definitely lose money if you invest in Pudong!" A vice president from Shanghai He objected that he knew Shanghai very well. Although Pudong and Puxi were separated by a river, they were poor to death.If you want to invest in real estate in Shanghai, you must go to Puxi.

The boss is confused! ! !
Hearing this, the real estate boss was furious, "You idiot, don't you fucking read the news? Zhang Jun has already invested in Lujiazui, Pudong, and will invest at least 500 billion US dollars! Do you know what Lujiazui will be in the future? What does it look like? Ma De, I have to tell you, go buy a newspaper and read it yourself!"

……

At this moment, major real estate companies in Hong Kong have held emergency meetings.

Hundreds of real estate companies, including Cheung Kong, New World, Sun Hung Kai, Henderson Land Development, etc., have consistently passed the decision to invest in Shanghai Pudong.

"Lujiazui will definitely become the center of Shanghai. We must seize the opportunity and invest in Pudong as soon as possible! I think other real estate companies will also enter the Shanghai real estate market at this moment. The competition is fierce!" Li Jiacheng said in a deep voice to the senior management .

When Li Jiacheng saw the bird's-eye view of Lujiazui for the first time, he was immediately shocked. He was so generous, dozens of high-rise buildings, the tallest building was more than 800 meters high, which almost exceeded Li Jiacheng's imagination. There is such a tall building in the sky?
Immediately, Li Jiacheng's keen business sense let him know that Shanghai Pudong New Area is about to rise.

The closer to Lujiazui, the more valuable the land.

However, if you want to come to Chinese Land, I am afraid that most of the land information has already been occupied.

Right now, Zhang Jun eats meat, and everyone can also drink soup.

Li Jiacheng's decision was quick. Just after the meeting, he took a group of people to Shanghai.

At this moment.

The leaders of the SH municipal government were very pleasantly surprised. In just one day, thousands of large companies made consultation calls, planning to invest in Shanghai.

The land price in Shanghai skyrocketed all of a sudden, more than doubling or doubling.

The Pudong New Area, which no one cares about before, has become a favorite.

"Thanks to Zhang Jun, otherwise, we don't know when our Pudong New Area development plan will officially start!"

"Yes, it is precisely because of his investment that the eyes of the whole world are focused on Shanghai in an instant, attracting countless investments at once. Our government also has the money to build the city and improve the infrastructure!"

"..."

The government can make a lot of money by auctioning off some land at will. From now on, there will be no need to be as tight as before.

Seeing this, the rest of the mainland cities are all envious.

"Leader, I think that if our city wants to develop rapidly, we must attract Zhang Jun to invest. This is the case in Shanghai. Look at it now, all kinds of investments are pouring in. It's almost enviable!" An official from Chengdu said. opened the mouth.

"Well, with the precedent of Shanghai, we should be able to succeed!"

The crowd joined in.

Zhang Jun may not know it at the moment, but he has become the favorite of countless officials in the mainland, and they all want to use his investment and fame to attract more investment.

On the morning of the third day, Zhang Jun was still sound asleep.

Hundreds of directors of investment promotion departments in the Mainland have rushed to the hotel where he stayed.

"Leaders, please wait a moment, I will contact the boss right away!" Zhang Jun's little assistant comforted everyone, wiped the sweat off his face, and hurriedly took out his mobile phone to call Zhang Jun.

After a while, the phone was connected.

"Boss, something serious happened? Come down quickly!"

"What's going on?"

"Hundreds of investment promotion managers from various cities in the Mainland have rushed to our hotel, and want you to invest in their cities!"

"It's a good thing. I'm going to wash up now, and I'll come down later." Zhang Jun was taken aback for a while, and then said with a smile.

Isn't it just an investment, no problem.

Now I have too much money to spend, even if I have no money, I can still borrow from Standard Chartered Bank.Instead, I can take advantage of this opportunity to reap the benefits and ask them to provide more preferential conditions.

Thinking of this, Zhang Jun was in a very happy mood.

Took a few minutes to wash and go to the toilet.

At this time, Zhang Jun's secretary had already had people in charge of investment promotion from major cities brought to a large conference room.

After Zhang Jun washed up, he went directly to meet everyone here.

In the conference room, the major investment promotion managers look at me and I look at you. They feel that the competition is too fierce, and they can’t help but increase the preferential conditions by a little bit more...
