People in Hong Kong create super chaebols

The Hung Hom Central Business District is clearly destined to become the most upscale area on the Kowloon Peninsula.

A few days after Suzhou City and Wei Li visited the area, the ribbon-cutting ceremony for the opening of Hung Hom CBD was successfully held.

The ceremony also attracted many bigwigs in Hong Kong, even Governor Youde.

After the ribbon-cutting ceremony, Phase 1 of the Hung Hom Central Business District was officially opened for leasing.

Selling the building? It’s impossible!

Don’t think that the current housing prices in Hong Kong are already very high in the eyes of many ordinary people.

But Su Cheng knows that the current housing prices are not high at all. Of course, this is compared with the housing prices in 20 years.

At that time, housing prices had at least increased tenfold.

If we keep these, every building in the future will be a mountain of gold!

Su Cheng is full of confidence in Hong Kong's future, so why should he sell these buildings?
Although, if he sold all of them, he could get back tens of billions of Hong Kong dollars just from these nine buildings, but Su Cheng was not short of that money.

If it were someone else, they would definitely sell a portion of it to recover the funds.

But what Suzhou City has the most is cash, so there is no worry about lack of funds.

Therefore, it is most appropriate to hold all of them and rent them out.

Hong Kong is home to many of the Asian headquarters of the Fortune 500 companies. Many of their headquarters are actually rented, and only a small part of them purchase properties to serve as their headquarters.

Therefore, there is no shortage of tenants in Hung Hom CBD.

Of course, it can't be compared with Central.

After all, Central is Hong Kong’s first central business district.

Therefore, the occupancy rate of the Xiangjiang Xiangjiang World Trade Center in Suzhou is very high.

After the opening ceremony, Hung Hom CBD ushered in a wave of leasing.

In just half a month, the occupancy rate of the nine buildings reached 9%.

Although it may not seem high, it’s only been half a month.

The location of these nine buildings is no worse than that in Central. Not only can you see the city view of Central, but you can also see planes taking off and landing at Kai Tak International Airport two kilometers away.

So, naturally, it is favored by many customers who want to rent an office.

By mid-April, the occupancy rate of the nine buildings had reached 4%.

In May, the occupancy rate of the nine buildings reached 5%.

Moreover, the occupancy rate will gradually increase. In the future, it will not be a problem at all for the occupancy rate to reach over 80%!
At night, through the projection of lights on the nine buildings, you can see how high the occupancy rate of these nine buildings is.

A prosperous business district soon formed here.

Many companies in the financial, legal and other industries have moved into this area.

Hung Hom CBD is no longer just a name, but has truly become a business district.

Since the publication of the Joint Declaration in December 1984, Hong Kong's real estate industry has recovered rapidly and rents have continued to rise.

The launch of Hung Hom CBD is just in time.

Just by relying on rent, property fees, etc., Hutchison Whampoa Group, which manages this area, can make a fortune.

Not to mention, there will be 4 phases of commercial buildings and a commercial center covering 3 hectares.

These are destined to bring huge profits to Hutchison Whampoa Group in the future.

The first commercial center of the Kowloon Peninsula will gradually shift from Tsim Sha Tsui to Hung Hom.

May 5th, a very ordinary day.

However, a movie that Suzhou had been looking forward to for a long time was shown in major cinemas in Hong Kong.

That is "The Chinese Zodiac" starring Chen Long.

The filming of this film was much more difficult than expected, but it was finally completed successfully.

Since this is a movie that the boss in Sucheng has high hopes for, the filming crew also put in a lot of effort.

It was not until the film satisfied many people that they decided to release it.

The film tells the story of a large number of precious cultural relics lost overseas, among which the four animal heads of the twelve zodiac animals are the most eye-catching.

There have been constant debates both at home and abroad, with some collectors offering sky-high prices to bid for these treasures.

Taking this opportunity, the international thief JC and his team go to Paris for huge profits, seeking the help of national treasure identification expert Coco. After thrilling and fierce fighting and chasing, JC's patriotism, which was destroyed by interests and money, gradually awakens.

The original plan was to complete the filming in half a year, but it ended up taking more than a year.

However, as long as the shot looks good, Su Cheng doesn't mind if it takes longer.

At 5pm on May 12, Su Cheng brought Cherie Chung, Gillian Chung, Amy Yip and Ka Wai Kwan to the Rizon Cinema in Tseung Kwan O.

Here, a separate movie theater is specially provided for Su Cheng and others, which means it is reserved.

The background appears at the beginning of the story. When the British and French allied forces burned down the Old Summer Palace, a large number of precious cultural relics were lost overseas. Among them, the four animal heads of the twelve zodiac animals were particularly eye-catching. They not only caused an uproar in the domestic and international public opinion fields, but also attracted collectors to compete and bid for these treasures at sky-high prices.

At the same time, some greedy cultural relics dealers are also ready to steal these national treasures through illegal means.

Taking this opportunity, the international thief JC, who was enjoying his vacation, made his debut.

JC is followed by a super professional team consisting of Simon, David, Bonnie and other experts. They go to Paris together to seek the help of Coco, an expert in national treasure identification.

After careful planning and thorough preparation, JC and his team gradually approached the closely guarded animal heads, and what followed were thrilling and extremely fierce fights and chases.

During this treasure hunt, JC's patriotism, which seemed to have been corrupted by interests and money, gradually began to revive.

What satisfied Su Cheng and others most was the fighting scenes inside.

Su Cheng compared this movie with the "Zodiac Signs" he knew in his previous life. He was surprised to find that although they were different in many places, the filming was as exciting as the "Zodiac Signs" that came out more than 20 years later.

The ultimate reason, of course, is that Chen Long is now at the peak of his career and in his prime.

After 2012, Chen Long has entered old age and his movements are not as flexible as they are now.

After watching this movie, whether it is Su Cheng, Zhong Chuhong, Guan Jiahui and others, they all think it is very good. The release of this movie is destined to achieve very good results.

Sure enough, time quietly came to June 6, and "Chinese Zodiac" was officially released for one month.

The box office statistics are also shocking.

The movie box office in Hong Kong alone earned HK$5203 million, and in Macau it also achieved a good result of over HK$ million.

In Taiwan, this movie has been extremely popular. People on both sides of the Taiwan Strait share the same ancestry and culture, and they are deeply touched by these things.

In the end, Taiwan’s box office for the entire month, after converting into Hong Kong dollars, actually reached 1.32 million Hong Kong dollars.

It can be seen from this that Taiwan's market is much larger than Hong Kong's.

But this is normal. Hong Kong is so small. Although its population has reached 700 million, it is still at a disadvantage compared with Taiwan in terms of population. After all, Taiwan now has a population of nearly 2000 million.

In addition, Taiwan is now in a period of rapid development, and its development speed is not much slower than that of Hong Kong. Everyone's economic conditions are good, so naturally the box office is much higher.

In addition, we have also achieved very good results in Singapore, Malaysia and other places in Southeast Asia.

Compared with Taiwan, Nanyang has a larger population, and it is ridiculously larger, more than ten times that of Taiwan.

However, the audience was mainly Chinese, so the final box office revenue of Nanyang was 2.85 million Hong Kong dollars.
Just from these places, this movie made a lot of money.

Not to mention the European, American and Japanese markets.

Chen Long now has a very high reputation in Europe and the United States. His influence is no less than that of Bruce Lee in the past. He is called the "King of Kung Fu" by Western media and is a famous international kung fu movie star.

Therefore, the film he shot was indeed popular among many people in Europe and the United States.

Although due to the background story, audiences in Europe and the United States have mixed reviews about "Chinese Zodiac".

Some viewers think that the film has a tight plot and exciting action scenes, and is a movie worth watching; while some viewers think that the film is too preachy and lacks novelty.

However, no matter what, the professionalism and love for action movies that Chen Long showed in the movie are worthy of recognition.

But that doesn't stop it from making huge profits overseas.

In the end, the North American market achieved a good result of 5500 million US dollars, and Europe also achieved a good result of 4600 million US dollars. In Japan, the final box office was similar to that in Taiwan, exceeding 1 million Hong Kong dollars. After all, this is also a story about Eastern culture, and it is normal that Europe and the United States do not like it very much.

In short, thanks to this movie, Jiayi Film Company also made a lot of money. Although the investment was not low, compared with the harvest, the profit was already very good.

Due to the excellent performance, Jiayi Film Company finally decided to postpone the release of the film by one month.

The broadcast of the movie "The Chinese Zodiac" is bound to attract the attention of many media.

These film media professionals analyzed the reasons for the film's success from various angles.

For this purpose, Oriental Daily has specially collected the main comments from the audience on this film.

First of all, the film’s plot is compact and full of adventurous elements. It revolves around the search for the bronze statues of the twelve zodiac animals that were lost overseas, showing the process of the protagonist facing various challenges and obstacles and finally successfully retrieving all the statues.

The process is full of thrills and excitement, and some humorous elements are also incorporated to make the whole story more vivid and interesting.

As a movie starring Chen Long, the action scenes are naturally an indispensable highlight.

Chen Long showed off his signature action design in the movie, including fist-to-flesh punches, wall-climbing and other classic moves, which gave the audience a great enjoyment.

In addition, there are some difficult stunts in the film, which not only tested Chen Long's physical fitness, but also demonstrated his persistence and professionalism in action movies.

Actor Performance In addition to Chen Long, other actors in the movie also performed well.

Chow Yun-fat gives a very memorable performance as the menacing villain.

In another world, this role was not played by Chow Yun-fat, but because the time was more than 20 years earlier, it is not surprising that Chow Yun-fat became the actor.

The addition of characters such as Coco, the national treasure identification expert, also adds a lot of color to the film.

In addition, there are some representative animal images in the movie, such as tigers, snakes, monkeys, etc. These animal images are vivid and cute, adding a bit of mystery to the movie.

The production level of the film is also very high, with exquisite pictures, scene design and props made with great care.

Especially in the process of searching for the bronze statue, many scenes and props with Chinese characteristics appeared in the film. These elements made the film more interesting and closer to the audience.

In addition, the film's sound effects and soundtrack are also excellent, bringing the audience a more immersive viewing experience.

The film incorporates elements of traditional Chinese culture, such as the twelve zodiac signs and the eight trigrams. These elements not only add cultural heritage to the film, but also allow the audience to better understand Chinese culture.

At the same time, the film also conveys positive values, such as protecting cultural heritage and promoting patriotism. These elements make the film more profound and meaningful.

After the movie, the audience began to discuss a question.

That is, where are the real bronze statues of the twelve zodiac animals now?

At this moment, they all understood in their hearts that these twelve bronze statues were not only national treasures, but also historical witnesses of the invasion that China had suffered.

Because of this, these twelve bronze statues are deeply imprinted in people's hearts and have become a topic of great concern to everyone.

In the past, if you randomly asked a citizen on the streets of Hong Kong about the bronze statues of the twelve zodiac animals, they might not know anything.

But now, basically no one doesn’t know about it.

Not only in Hong Kong, but most Chinese people around the world now know about these national treasures.

However, what is confusing is that no one knows the exact whereabouts of these bronze statues.

Could it be that they are still in the hands of the eight nations that invaded back then?
Many local Chinese went to the museum to explore with great hope, but returned disappointed and found nothing.

Or perhaps, these bronze statues have been collected by private collectors?
This speculation has been recognized by many people.

But in any case, these are just speculations and the truth remains a mystery.

Thus, the bronze statues of the twelve zodiac animal heads have unknowingly become national treasures in everyone's mind.

However, it is deeply regrettable that these national treasures are now scattered overseas.

There are also patriots who have made strong calls to recover these national treasures so that they can return to the land of China and no longer wander in foreign countries.

Public opinion is growing.

Many Chinese people in Hong Kong, Southeast Asia, Europe and the United States will discuss this topic.

Everyone is wondering where the bronze statues of the twelve zodiac animals are.
In the future, will it be possible to collect all the twelve bronze statues and return them to the Old Summer Palace? (End of this chapter)
