Island Tycoon

Chapter 539 A Loan of 30 Million
Ye Jingcheng put down the plan and asked slowly, "I wonder how you want to cooperate with Li Sheng?"

"Originally, this plan was imperative for me, but now... I have a better choice." Li Jiacheng said with a trick.

"What do you mean?" Ye Jingcheng frowned.

The most direct meaning of what Li Jiacheng said was that he had other projects, so he wanted to transfer part of the development rights of this project.But thinking about it from another angle, there is something that he gave up and it was Ye Jingcheng's turn.

"I want to transfer 50% of the development rights of this project to you, if you are interested, Brother Ye."

The 50% stake is the entire proportion of Li Jiacheng's participation in this plan.If he transferred it to Ye Jingcheng at this moment, it would mean that he completely gave up the plan.

At Li Jiacheng's level, he naturally wouldn't make jokes about Ye Jingcheng for fun. His words proved that he had made up his mind early in the morning.

As for why he endured so much hardship, he first won the bid from the Hong Kong government for this project, and then transferred the plan to Ye Jingcheng in the blink of an eye...

It is true that he can get a project transfer fee from it, but compared to the entire development plan, this benefit is completely a drop in the bucket.

Unless Li Jiacheng is really short of money, since the Hong Kong government allowed him to bid for this project, it also means that he has the ability to develop.

As far as Ye Jingcheng knew, the other 50% of the shares in this plan, 30% of which fell into the hands of Li Shau Kee, the largest shareholder of Sun Hung Kai Properties. Li Shau Kee and Li Jiacheng had irreversible conflicts in the early years. Could it be that the two broke up again because of this plan?

It's just that the possibility of this is very small. Both of them are old men in their 60s and [-]s, so how can they be arrogant in business.What's more, if the two really can't cooperate, there is no need to reach an agreement to bid for the project.

"I see that you are doing business, Brother Ye, it seems that you like to eat a piece of food alone?"

Seeing that Ye Jingcheng was lost in thought, seeming to care about the meaning of his words, Li Jiacheng threw out another bait and said: "I can come forward and persuade the people from Sun Hung Kai to give up the other 50% of the development rights."

The New Territories, which has not yet been developed, looks like a cattle herding place to the outside world, including Sha Tin District, where at most several kinds of fruit trees are planted.

But for long-sighted tycoons like Ye Jingcheng and Li Jiacheng, what they value is the potential value and use of the land itself.
Although Hong Kong Island's economy is prosperous, it is always limited by the land area. To put it bluntly, it is nothing more than a patchwork of small islands.Even if new areas can be developed through reclamation, the speed of development still cannot keep up with the demand for land.

Coupled with the vigorous economic development in recent years, many relatively backward mountainous areas and rural areas have been tendered by the Hong Kong government for development.Many tycoons who have never been in contact with the real estate industry before have gradually shifted their focus to the real estate industry.

Although Sha Tin District is still a rural area in the suburbs, the potential business opportunities and value have already been locked by an unknown number of people.What's more, regardless of the benefit of the land, the industrial chain in this 'first city' plan can also bring great benefits.

For an investment of 100 billion, it is likely to pay back in three to five years, and it will only take seven to eight years. In other words, for the 70-year use right of the land, the developer will just sit and collect money for the remaining years.

It seems that Li Jiacheng has done a lot of in-depth investigations on Ye Jingcheng, knowing that the latter is extravagant and doesn't like being restricted by others, so he prescribes the right medicine and throws out this bait.

After all, Lee Shau Kee is one of the three major shareholders of Sun Hung Kai. If Li Ka-shing wants the other party to give up this plan, he must pay a considerable price in advance.

It was because of this that Ye Jingcheng could see how big his next layout would be.So much so that he can give up the interests of the 'first city', and even use his efforts to promote his layout first.

After pondering for a few minutes, Ye Jingcheng was driven by his interests, so he chose to listen to what Li Jiacheng had to say first, and said, "What conditions do I need to pay?"

Li Jiacheng smiled sincerely, as if he was satisfied with Ye Jingcheng's statement.

To be precise, the intention expressed by Ye Jingcheng is the capital for him to continue the conversation.Business requires a step-by-step negotiation between the two parties. If Ye Jingcheng doesn't even have the basic interest, then it's useless for him to talk more.

"30 billion." Li Jiacheng stretched out three fingers.

"30 billion?" Ye Jingcheng narrowed his eyes.

For Li Ka-shing's lion's big mouth, he obviously felt a burst of impatience.

The number reported by Li Jiacheng is undoubtedly the lion's mouth.Even if the entire development plan involves more than 20 billion, the first and second phases of the sub-project will not exceed [-] billion.

Li Jiacheng's asking price was equivalent to wanting to gouge out a large piece of Ye Jingcheng's flesh and blood.And his payment is only a transfer agreement, so it is no different from him not wanting to make any payment, but sitting on it.

"Do you think it's possible for me to promise you?" Ye Jingcheng said in a cold tone.

He thinks that he can pay a maximum of one billion for this plan of more than ten billion. If it is more, he can make good use of this fund through other means.

"If I just offer this price, you will definitely not agree to me." After a pause, Li Jiacheng smiled and said: "If I say that the money is in the form of a loan, will you agree, Brother Ye? "

"Borrowing?" Ye Jingcheng knew that the other party had something to say, but he didn't expect that Li Jiacheng's original intention was to ask him to borrow a large sum of money.

"That's right, I need a sufficient amount of working capital in the short term, and I believe you, Brother Ye, can meet my requirements." Li Jiacheng said frankly.

"Since you need to mobilize such a large amount of funds, why not contact the senior management of HSBC Bank, I believe their funds are much more sufficient, and you are also long-term partners." Ye Jingcheng asked.

"Sometimes it doesn't mean that the stronger the partner is, the better the contract is. On the contrary, there may be various inconveniences in certain procedures." Li Jiacheng added: "And HSBC Bank does not have only one shareholder."

Ye Jingcheng said "Oh" in a meaningful way. Li Jiacheng said this, probably because some senior management of HSBC secretly disagreed with his business handover this time, or stumbling him during the process.

Of course, it's also possible that he was confusing his eyes, in order to get Ye Jingcheng to agree to this matter.

"However, for me, 30 billion, it doesn't mean that I can transfer it if I want to. There are many levels of influence in it." Ye Jingcheng evaded.

"Brother Ye, don't be joking. You can create such a family business in such a short period of time. The biggest advantage is the liquidity in your hand. In addition, Qianlong Bank is only you as a shareholder." Li Jiacheng smiled wryly.

From Ye Jingcheng's tone, Li Jiacheng heard that he wasn't really evading, but was haggling with him. To put it simply, he was asking him to show more 'sincerity'.
