Chapter 0097 – Big Guy Jun Tai Buys Kowloon Commercial Building!!!

Afternoon.

A Rolls-Royce, guarded by four big Bens, stopped at the Kowloon Commercial Building, 3 Salisbury Road.

Kowloon Commercial Building is located in the west of Tsim West, next to the Wharf headquarters of the wings of Jardine Matheson Matheson District, with a total of 19 floors, a floor of 5,000 square meters, and a total construction area of nearly 100,000 square meters.

When planning the [Gambling King] variety show, Huo Jiajun considered choosing a store as the filming location for the [Gambling King] variety show, and the underground casino of Zhendong Hotel as the location for the final.

However, if the selection of the store is too fragmented, it is not conducive to the filming of the program, and it is more troublesome to coordinate.

Therefore, Huo Jiajun thought about it and simply decided to buy a building.

The story behind the Kowloon Commercial Building is probably more complicated than any building in Heungjiang, because its birth is related to the Fok Yingnan family of Heungjiang.

At that time, Huo Yingnan abandoned the boat and landed, entered the real estate industry in a big way, and joined hands with He Xin, Ten Girls, Gambling Saint Nie Aotian, Ye Deli and others in Haojiang to win the Haojiang gambling card.

In Xiangjiang, the off-the-plan system was pioneered.

Throughout the sixties, the Huo Yingnan family called for wind and rain, and Xingguangxing was one of the handiwork of the Huo family in that era

In 1962, he joined forces with He Xin and several other Chinese shareholders to build it

The predecessor of the Kowloon Commercial Building was built, One by One Starlight Walk

Fok Yingnan invested 7.5 million yuan in one go, holding 25% of the shares, and the remaining shareholders borrowed from HSBC under his guarantee to invest the money.

The building is located at Kowloon Pier, mostly facing south, and enjoys the night view of Victoria Harbour.

Absolutely prime location, Fok Yingnan decided to rent out the estate after it was completed.

After its completion in 1966, many customers rushed to rent, one of the big tenants was the Chinese-funded Chinese art company, which mainly dealt in Chinese arts and crafts.

At that time, Sino-British relations were tense, coupled with the previous actions of the Fok Yingnan family on the peninsula, so Britain and the United States decided to join forces to strangle Xingguangxing.

The United States blacklisted Fok Yingnan, clearly stipulating that all tenants of Starlight could not buy and sell American products, the 60s was the most glorious era of American manufacturing, and Xiangjiang was also a dumping market for American products.

And Fok Yingnan is also a relatively hard top, directly announced that the ultra-low rent of nine millimeters per square meter per month to attract investment, sure enough, a large number of customers came to negotiate.

Hong Kong Britain and the United States have therefore come to a big killer, that is, cut off water and electricity, and do not allow customers of Starlight Building to talk on the phone.

No water, no electricity, no phone, how to do business?

The residents of Starlight Company were afraid and quit their rents one after another, and for a while Starlight Walk was deserted.

Fok Yingnan did not want other investors to lose money, and suggested to buy back the entire Starlight Building for 38 million.

Unbeknownst to him, He Xin persuaded other shareholders to sell to Jardine Matheson Land, which only bid 37.5 million yuan.

Prime location, golden vision, almost 100,000 square meters, bid 37.5 million, an average of only more than 300 yuan per square meter… This price can be said to be a cheap sale.

And in the second year when Fok Yingnan was forced to sell Starlight at a low price, Li Ka-shing’s Changshi Group went public, and at the same time, the four major families of Xiangjiang gradually formed, and these four major families did not have Fok Yingnan’s name.

But without Fok Yingnan’s withdrawal from the Xiangjiang real estate industry as a premise, the four major families of Xiangjiang may all be trampled under Fok Yingnan’s feet.

Now, after more than ten years, Huo Jiajun took Lu Gangsheng to the office of the building

Li, sitting opposite Jardine Matheson Tai Pan Niu Bijian and Hongkong Land General Manager Bao Fuda, discussed the future fate of the building.

Taipan is also the chairman of the board.

As a senior class of the Jardine Matheson department, he is a popular figure in the whole of Heungjiang, and he is also a member of the Heungkong Legislative Council.

Stephen Bao of Hongkong Land is not to be underestimated, having been a senior member of the HeungKong Independent Commission Against Corruption before joining Land.

Some time ago, Fok Ka Chun heard that Jardine Matheson had the intention of selling the Kowloon Commercial Center, so he sent a telegram to Hongkong Land Group in the name of Zhendong Hotel

The administrative secretary at the front desk brought a few cups of coffee, Niu Bijian took a sip of coffee, took a sip of cigar, and said to Huo Jiajun straight to the point: “Mr. Huo, Miss Lu, I don’t know how much price you plan to offer, if the price is right, I will sell it to you.” ”

For Huo Jiajun and Lu Gangsheng, Niu Bijian and Bao Fuda still heard something, they really heard about it.

The former is the new chairman of Zhendong Hotel, and the latter is the general manager of the recently ‘notorious’ and famous Hengda Finance Company.

And it is precisely because of the financial strength of Zhendong Hotel and Hengda that today’s meeting took place.

Huo Jiajun took a sip of coffee and said, “You are the owner of the ship, you should ask for the price, and I will buy it directly at the right price.” ”

If he hadn’t been in a good mood today, he would have cursed.

He hated this kind of priceless dog the most in his life.

Why?

In the previous life to play online games, the style of this group of dogs with price is low and not returned, high immediately sold.

As soon as Niu Bijian heard Huo Wendong’s words, he knew that he had encountered an opponent, this is the limit pull, right?

He smiled and said, “Mr. Huo, you sincerely ask for a price.” ”

Knock you!

“You are not sincere! Obviously you don’t want to sell the Kowloon Commercial Centre, but let us make an offer? How much money, hurry up and say, don’t grind it! ”

Lian Haolong, who was behind Huo Jiajun, narrowed his eyes and looked at Niu Bijian with an unkind expression.

The king of foreign travel, Jardine? What about Heungjiang’s No. 1 consortium?

The more serious the businessman, the more afraid he is of dealing with the people at the bottom.

“Fat dragon, stop the sound. Did you know that sitting in front of you is the Jardine Department? ”

“Lessoned” his subordinates, Huo Jiajun showed kindness to Niubijian and said: Mr. Niubijian, we came to buy it in good faith, if you quote a price if the price is right, we will complete the transaction immediately, without arrears. ”

“If that’s the case, what about two hundred and forty million?”

Newbijian frowned and reported a number.

Huo Jiajun almost wanted to scold, 240 million completely regarded him as a kaizi.

The reason is simple.

After Starlight Company changed its name to Kowloon Commercial Building, it still could not change the unpopular downturn in the market.

The reason was related to the unfair crackdown in Britain and the United States at that time, which also led to a collective boycott of many local tenants in Heungjiang, who preferred to choose buildings in other locations rather than come to Kowloon Commercial Towers.

Later, there was no way, and the Hong Kong British City Council rented Hungry Starlight in 1975 as the site of the newly established HeungKong Museum, which attracted a little popularity.

Today’s Kowloon Commercial Building is not worth 250 million yuan in the eyes of Huo Jiajun
