The Birth of the Hong Kong Island Family.

Chapter 275 [An Unsolved Case]

Early December.

In the conference room of Changjiang Industrial, Lin Zhichao, Huang Changhong, Zhou Fuzhao, Hu Zhaoxu, and An Ziyi, the person in charge of the quarry company, are studying the price of Anderson Daya quarry mining rights.

In the field of technology, Cheung Kong has entered the quarry enterprise for six years. It is also the first enterprise in Hong Kong to adopt mechanized mining. It is currently the leader of the quarry enterprise in Hong Kong; Doing technical tenders.

In fact, what this kind of bidding ultimately asks for is price!

Even if it is technically inferior, the Hong Kong government will propose various regulations in the later stage, just follow the requirements of the Hong Kong government.

"Now that Hong Kong's real estate industry is so prosperous, many companies are interested in bidding, and even foreign firms such as Jardine Matheson have expressed interest. Therefore, if you want to secure the mining rights, at least 1.58 ​​million bids are relatively stable." Huang Changhong suggested.

If it is paid for 20 years, it is equivalent to an annual franchise fee of 800 million Hong Kong dollars, which may not seem high, but there are still many small quarry competitions at the beginning, and if there is a real estate crisis, the Hong Kong government will not discount or let you overdue.

But Lin Zhichao understood that the small quarries had to close down before the 70s; although there was a real estate crisis, it was only short-lived.

Even if it was in the payback period in the 60s, by the 70s, it may be able to earn tens of millions of Hong Kong dollars in profits every year.

Lin Zhichao took the tender, began to write the price on it, and signed his name.

"Okay, after sealing the bid, deliver it to the Hong Kong government!"

He wrote 1.62 million Hong Kong dollars, and there is not much hesitation about this.

Even if the vote is not successful, it is not Waterloo, after all, quarry is just a sideline business.And the value of the Anderson Daya Quarry Mine is at most two to three billion Hong Kong dollars, and it must be in the late 70s, so it is not worth the higher price.

An Ziyi carefully sealed the bidding document, and immediately went to bid.

He didn't have the nerve to look at the price tag, but he was very eager for Cheung Kong to invest in it, because in this way, he could rise all boats and become the general manager of a large subsidiary company, doing even bigger things.

"If the bidding is successful, we will prepare to register the 'Anderson Daya Quarry' enterprise, and prepare a loan of 2000 million Hong Kong dollars to inject into this enterprise as start-up capital."

Entering a quarry enterprise, he also earned more than 1000 million Hong Kong dollars, but almost all of it was used for real estate development.Therefore, if he wins the bid for Anderson Daya, Lin Zhichao intends to borrow all the money, but nothing.

Cheung Kong's assets are 3-4 million Hong Kong dollars, and its actual liabilities are almost zero, so loans and so on are not a problem.

After the company is listed in the future, the loan will be used rationally; at present, the Cheung Kong Industrial Group is, to put it bluntly, Lin Zhichao's private property, and the loan has to pay interest, which is a waste.

After the company goes public, it is the correct way to use funds and loans to purchase some land assets in Lin Zhichao's personal hands.

Huang Changhong said: "2000 million Hong Kong dollars should only be enough for the start-up capital, and follow-up funds are needed, and the mining fee for the first year needs to be paid before mining. In total, about 4000 million Hong Kong dollars will be needed for the operation. And the initial mining volume , may not be able to achieve balance of payments.”

Lin Zhichao said: "Then continue to lend, the bank will lend!"

It's a normal thing, don't even try to make money in the 60s.

In his previous life, Lu Zhihe almost encountered a financial crisis in 1967. Fortunately, the equipment manufacturer and the bank did not press for debts.

Lin Zhichao didn't want to take the money out, because he felt that the Anderson Daya Quarry Mine could be profitable in the late 60s.Before it was packaged and listed, it was already a high-quality asset.

Afterwards, the four continued their meeting in the conference room.

Hu Zhaoxu said: "Boss, I am going to sell two real estate projects on Paterson Street in the middle of this month, with a total of 412 residential units. Many customers have asked us about the sales date. I am afraid that if they wait any longer, they will lose patience. Moreover, Jin On the side of Xing Real Estate, I heard that sales have improved recently.”

Lin Zhichao asked, "What price do you plan to sell?"

Hu Zhaoxu said: "45.98 Hong Kong dollars per square foot. The property market and the stock market have risen recently. This price is very attractive. If there is a lottery, everyone will not choose Jinxing Real Estate's real estate."

In terms of location, Changjiang Real Estate has a better location; in terms of reputation, Changjiang Real Estate has a better reputation; in terms of development, Changjiang Real Estate is developing a business district, and department stores and shopping centers are just a street away.

Now in terms of price promotion, Changjiang Real Estate is also better, so there is no need to say how to choose.

And now it has increased by 3 yuan per square foot, which shows that the price of this lot is rising and it is more attractive.

But Lin Zhichao didn't think so, he said decisively: "Just sell at 43.98 Hong Kong dollars per square foot, an increase of one yuan will do! Since we want to engage in activities, we must have sincerity! The remaining two properties will be sold in November. It can be 11 Hong Kong dollars per square foot, and it is sold out anyway.”

Without hesitation, Hu Zhaoxu said, "Okay, I'll arrange it right away!" He also understood the boss's method, which was to be ruthless.

In Lin Zhichao's view, as long as Jinxing Real Estate's real estate is delayed until next year, it is already a success.

After all, for a project with an investment of 4000 million, delaying it for one year is a big loss.

And next year, land prices will also rise.

Only Lin Zhichao also lost some, so there is no need to calculate it. You must know that he bought this land for less than 20 Hong Kong dollars per square foot.The unit price purchased by Zhang Yuliang's family is more than 120 Hong Kong dollars per square foot. The cost of the land is converted into the floor, which is 10 yuan per square foot more expensive than Changjiang Properties (the unit price of the floor is about 48).

Friends who bought land, of course, can sell it cheaper!
It's like the Li family's house in the previous life was always suddenly discounted by 19952023% ([-]-[-]), shocking the entire real estate industry.The Li family is not a real estate family, so of course they can sell it at a low price, and earn less, which is better than rot in the hands.

Two days later.

A meeting room of the Hong Kong government.

The seats were filled with representatives of bidding companies participating in the bidding for the 'Anderson Daya Quarry Mining Rights', representatives of Cheung Kong Industrial, Huang Changhong and An Ziyi, and they were not very nervous.

The reason is simple, the price is written by the boss, although they are also eager to win the bid, but at least they are not very nervous.And the boss didn't want to be nervous. During the entire bidding period, the boss only spent a total of two hours researching.

Not far away, Lu Zhihe and his father Lu Jinquan were restless and very nervous.

"Zhihe, do you think our chances of winning the bid are high?" Lu Jinquan asked.

"Father, don't worry, although there are many people participating in the bidding, they are not in this industry; only Changjiang Properties has a quarry company, but their bosses have not come, and they certainly don't pay much attention to it. So our price should be very stable!" Lu Zhihe comforted him.But he was not calm, on the contrary very excited.

He managed to persuade his father and others to partner so that he would have the strength to bid.Now it's time to reveal the answer. Anderson Daya has something to do with his career. If he doesn't hit the target, he will feel like he has no goal.

Lu Jinquan looked at his son and instantly understood his state. Instead, he comforted him: "When you went to Japan to resell war surplus supplies, you were one step ahead of others, and you were almost disqualified in the end. Now it happens to happen again. Everything is not absolute. If If you fail, don’t back down, if this career doesn’t work, change to another career.”

Lu Zhihe's heart suddenly turned cold, as if he had heard a bad prophecy, so he nodded numbly.

After a while, the representative of the Hong Kong government came to the rostrum, holding an envelope in his hand.

"Hi everyone, welcome to the meeting for the unveiling of Anderson Daya mining rights. After our referee, the Anderson Daya quarry mining rights were handed over to Cheung Kong Industrial, which has the highest bidder. Congratulations!"

Huang Changhong and An Ziyi stood up happily and hurriedly expressed their thanks.

Lu Zhihe was immediately disappointed, his eyes were dull!

When it came to the questioning session, someone naturally asked how much the bid was!

When they heard 1.62 million, many people were amazed, but Lu Zhihe was very regretful, because the bid he gave was 1.61 million, which was only 100 million Hong Kong dollars short.

This 100 million Hong Kong dollars is converted to 20 years, which is equivalent to paying only 5 Hong Kong dollars more each year.

For a moment, he sighed.

"Let's go, go back and think about it, what to do next!"

"Oh"

The next day.

Lin Zhichao came to the Hong Kong government and signed the contract for the mining rights of the Anderson Daya Quarry. He immediately felt that he had obtained hundreds of millions of assets.

Although quarry is not as profitable as cement, it is also an important raw material in the construction and infrastructure industries.The mining of the Anderson Daya quarry took decades. The assets of several hundred million were just the valuation in the late 70s, but the actual value was several billion.

Moreover, Changjiang Industrial has been engaged in quarry mining for six years, and has mature management and technology in this industry, so it seems logical to win this time.

As for robbing Lu Zhihe's property, Lin Zhichao is not guilty at all, he hates people who run casinos.

"Changjiang Real Estate did it on purpose!" Zhang Shouyi walked into Zhang Yuliang's office and said angrily.

It turned out that Changjiang Real Estate advertised houses for sale in major newspapers, but the official sale was half a month later; the advertisements took half a month, and those who wanted to buy a house during this period had to queue up at the sales office on that day.

In this way, many people who want to buy Jinxing Real Estate real estate (in the same location) will definitely give up in the past half a month.More importantly, with such a big momentum, whoever wants to buy more expensive real estate would rather wait a few more months, or go to other places to buy.

On the other hand, Jinxing Real Estate's site on Paterson Street and Houcheng Street has a total of 1500 residential units, and currently only about 50 units are sold, which can be described as dismal sales.

The biggest reason is that the price of Changjiang Properties is 10% cheaper, and some people even say it is 20% cheaper, because the other 10% are invisible advantages-location, quality, and business.

Zhang Yuliang is used to being watched by the bosses, so he said calmly at this moment: "Let them make trouble, we will sell it next year, and the price may even go up!"

Zhang Shouyi was taken aback for a moment, and then said, "The general manager is right! Then why were you so anxious about sales a while ago?"

Zhang Yuliang said angrily: "It's called losing a horse and knowing it's not a blessing. Don't you feel sad at the moment when you lose your horse? Now Hong Kong housing prices are still rising, so I hope the price will be even higher next year. Maybe we can sell it for 55 yuan." Hong Kong dollars per square foot. The previous losses will be returned.”

Zhang Shouyi's eyes lit up, and he said, "Fourth uncle is brilliant!"

Smart P!

Zhang Yuliang didn't know, there was another indirect loss, that is, the project couldn't be sold, and he didn't have the funds to buy new land.Because although the assets of the Zhang family are nearly 9 million yuan, there is still a commercial building under construction (No. 10-[-] Yongji Street), and some are rent-collecting properties.

The most important thing is that many banks have tightened their lending policies regarding the situation of Jinxing Real Estate.The reason is self-evident, it is worried that Lin Zhichao will attack Zhang Yuliang's family and that the loan will not be recovered.Only from the Houcheng Street project, many banks retreated in spite of the difficulties.

After his nephew left, Zhang Yuliang muttered, "After selling this real estate next year, we will buy a commercial building site and land for reconstruction."

Zhang Yuliang regretted offending Lin Zhichao twice, but he didn't think he had to be afraid.When they reached their status, at most it was commercial competition and means, and it was impossible to use some other means, after all, they were all a big family.

Therefore, since it was a commercial means, Zhang Yuliang felt that he would not lose to Lin Zhichao.

"This time, he was just relying on his wealth and power. In essence, he hurt the enemy eight hundred and himself one thousand."

Thinking of this, Zhang Yuliang quickly laughed.

Cheung Kong's publicity was half a month in advance, causing many potential buyers to come to Paterson Street to check in advance.The real estate of this project is almost halfway through, and the nine buildings are under construction almost at the same time, and the whole site is very large and magnificent.

A young couple immediately had a discussion after watching it.

"I heard that there will be department stores and shopping centers over there, and they will be connected by sky bridges. If you live here, shopping will be very convenient." The man said emotionally.

The woman was even more unbearable, and said, "Husband, with this plan, this place will become a prosperous area in the future, and now a set only costs 4 Hong Kong dollars. Buy it and you will earn it. The appreciation will definitely be fast."

Hong Kong people are not fond of properties in remote areas. The more prosperous they are, the faster they appreciate in value. As for the shops downstairs, they feel that they are a kind of convenience rather than a kind of disturbance.

"Buy, definitely buy, down payment 20800, we can afford it!"

The woman nodded. Her husband is a management of the company, with an annual salary of nearly 3 Hong Kong dollars. Over the years, he has saved more than [-] Hong Kong dollars, which is enough to buy properties.Even after buying a house, life is a bit more difficult, but it is worth it.

"There seems to be a real estate over there, why don't we go and have a look and compare?" The woman pointed to the real estate under construction diagonally opposite.

"It's more expensive over there, and the location and quality are not as good as here. What's there to see!" The man is obviously familiar with the situation here.

"Look at it and don't buy it, what are you afraid of!"

"Then go and have a look, maybe others have lowered the price too!"

The couple felt that it would be okay to have a look, so they walked towards the real estate of Jinxing Real Estate. In fact, there were many people who thought the same as them.They all came to Changjiang Real Estate to check the real estate in advance, and then went to Jinxing Real Estate to compare.

At this point, Changjiang Real Estate obviously expected it and was not worried at all. During the past half month, those customers who originally wanted to buy their properties turned to Jinxing Real Estate's real estate.

That is impossible!

For such a big thing as buying a house, when the advantages are obvious, you are willing to wait for two or three months, not to mention half a month.

The couple walked around the perimeter of Jinxing Real Estate. It was morning and the workers hadn't gone to work, so they were going to check the construction site.

But the couple looked at a lucky house (the empty house is called a lucky house in Hong Kong, which means auspicious), and they were scared out of their wits.

"Ghost!" the woman screamed.

The man was also trembling, he quickly pulled his wife up and stepped back.

It turned out that when the two suddenly saw a few white candles burning in the lucky house, they were frightened out of their wits and became suspicious.

Hong Kong people are superstitious, thinking of the white candles in the funeral of the dead, why is there auspiciousness in the auspicious house, it is the house of the dead.

When the two walked out of the construction site, they saw other people, so they hurriedly told each other, and immediately gathered more than a dozen people, and stepped into the real estate of Jinxing Real Estate again.

Soon, even the reporters were attracted, and there was a lot of talk for a while.

The strange incidents that occurred in Jinxing Real Estate's real estate were spread all over Hong Kong and Kowloon immediately after the media played up them.

Once this kind of thing happens, it will scare a lot of home buyers.

Think about the poor sales of Jinxing Real Estate's real estate, and soon all kinds of gossip are flying all over Hong Kong.

Zhang Yuliang rushed to the scene that day, and when he learned that the media had already come several times, he immediately scolded his subordinates: "Did you call the police? The scene, how did you destroy the scene, and how did JC solve the case like this? Pig, you're so stupid! Hurry up!" Click recovery, call the police for investigation!"

He didn't want to be photographed by reporters, so he quickly explained and left.

Several workers were frightened immediately. When they came to the construction site, they were already surrounded by some melon-eaters and reporters. Of course, their first reaction was to clean it up quickly.

Unexpectedly, now I am being yelled at by someone I don't know, like a real estate agent.

After recovering and calling the police, a wave of JC came and started investigating.

But how could there be clues to this kind of thing? After some inquiries, JC had no clue at all.

Naturally, nothing happened, only the media began to report on it.

Of course, the biggest suspicion in this kind of thing is the real estate developer, after all, colleagues are jealous of each other.

Secondly, it may be an agent instructed by the real estate developer, or other people.

Changjiang Real Estate opened two properties on Paterson Street for sale. Thousands of people came that morning. The road here was so crowded that it was reported by the media.

The price per square foot of 43.98 is definitely not expensive, and it can even be said to be cheap.

Therefore, 400% of the more than 9 houses were sold out on the first day, setting a new record.

You know, in this era, there are still not many people speculating in real estate.Unlike Hong Kong in later generations, there are many real estate speculators, and a real estate even needs a proposal to draw lots.As long as you win the lottery, you can immediately resell it and make a lot of money.

At present, it takes many days to buy a building in Hong Kong, and some even a month.

Seeing such a crazy scene, Zhang Shouyi returned to the company and reported to his fourth uncle.

Zhang Yuliang couldn't bear it any longer and said, "Lin Zhichao must have hired someone to do what happened last time. He just wanted to ruin our real estate!"

Zhang Shouyi said indignantly: "General manager, why don't we pay back to them? It's not like they are the only ones who can do this!"

Zhang Yuliang immediately said, "You're stupid! If you did it, you don't even need any evidence to know it's us."

Zhang Shouyi blushed suddenly, it was true.

This time, such a thing happened in Jinxing Real Estate’s real estate. Everyone just guessed that it was the real estate businessman or agency company; of.

At that time, I am afraid that JC will come to the door, and the Zhang family's reputation will be rotten.

Zhang Yuliang sent his nephew away and paced back and forth in the office, only now did he realize that he was not worthy of lifting Lin Zhichao's shoes compared to insidiousness.

When spreading rumors about the Zhang family back then, not only no one doubted him, but everyone even blamed the Zhang family for selling fake medicines;

Some time ago when he spread the rumor about Lin Zhichao, many people directly guessed that it was Zhang Yuliang who did it. Even the people from the Wuyi Chamber of Commerce had this kind of voice, because Changjiang Properties lowered the price of the real estate building on Baidexin Street, which explained these problems;
Fortunately, there are white candles in Jinxing Real Estate's real estate, but no one is made by Lin Zhichao. The media doesn't care who made it, they just blindly play up the bad luck.

"Lin Zhichao!" Zhang Yuliang gritted his teeth and roared in a low voice.

The investment in this real estate occupies nearly half of the Zhang family's assets. Not to mention the sales this year, the sales next year are full of uncertain elements.

the other side.

Lin Zhichao listened to Hu Zhaoxu's report in the office, and immediately said with satisfaction: "Nearly 400 residential properties were sold in a day. This news can be published in the newspapers. This is the credit guarantee of our Changjiang Real Estate."

Hu Zhaoxu nodded and said, "I have already asked my friends in the media, and I believe it will be published in the newspaper tomorrow."

Lin Zhichao was very satisfied with Hu Zhaoxu's sales and public relations attitude, and immediately said: "Let's save the remaining two properties for sale in early December! Then the price will be 12 Hong Kong dollars per square foot!"

Anyway, these are the last two properties (there are two other properties that are high-end apartments for rental purposes), so the price is naturally slightly lower than the market price.

"Ok"

Afterwards, Hu Zhaoxu left.

To be honest, he was also curious as to who lit the white candles of Jinxing Real Estate.It doesn't look like a boss' style, on the contrary, it's a bit like someone planting the boss, and of course no one said it was the boss.

The reason is very simple, because Cheung Kong Properties is a sure bet to win, there is no need to light a few candles; secondly, the Hong Kong business community generally believes that Lin Zhichao is benevolent and unlikely to do such a thing.

Of course, it doesn't matter who is involved in this kind of thing, and everyone doesn't seem to care, after all, there is no evidence at all.
