We're building a super chaebol in Hong Kong

#545 - A beautiful piece of land

Since this was the house he was going to keep for himself, Su Cheng naturally had his own ideas about the renovation.

Therefore, as he looked around, Su Cheng told Zheng Qingbo what needed to be changed so that he could have people take care of it.

As for furniture and appliances, that was even simpler. What products didn't he have under his banner? When the time came, he could just requisition them from the Oracle brand experience store's warehouse in Macao.

There weren't many villas developed in the Macao Peninsula itself, otherwise, he could have just bought a new villa to live in.

Now, if he wanted to buy a brand new villa in Macao, he could only go to Taipa Island. When he went there yesterday, he saw two new residential areas with villa products being developed.

However, he didn't have any intention of living on Taipa Island. Taipa Island in this era wasn't like the Peak or Repulse Bay and Deep Water Bay in Hong Kong, where villa areas had enough peace and quiet, and the security couldn't compare to the Macao Peninsula.

When Taipa Island was re-planned in the future, and its safety, comfort, aesthetics, and other aspects were fully improved, he might consider moving there.

Therefore, if he was coming over for business or vacation, he still preferred to live in the Macao Peninsula.

Of course, second-hand wasn't a big deal to him. He didn't have any cleanliness obsessions, and the house didn't necessarily have to be brand new for him to live in.

Have Hutchison Whampoa come over to build?

Sorting out a residential area would take at least two or three years.

After viewing the villa that Su Cheng planned to keep for himself, Su Cheng said goodbye to Zheng Qingbo and the others.

He wasn't interested in seeing the remaining five villas. After all, they weren't for his own use, so he left it to Zheng Qingbo to handle.

Leaving Zheng Qingbo and the four others behind, Su Cheng had Ao Haihua drive him back to the Pousada Sun Tak Hotel to pick up the other bodyguards, and then headed directly to the pier.

Boarding his private yacht, Su Cheng appeared at the Central Pier in Hong Kong an hour and a half later.

This trip to Macao was still very rewarding.

This, of course, wasn't referring to the six villas. Those weren't called gains, they were just things he bought with money.

Nor was it about acquiring Macao residency. In this era, Macao resident status wasn't worth much.

The real big gain was knowing the new Governor's attitude towards him.

From the looks of it, the new Governor inherited the old Governor's development strategy and clearly supported Su Cheng's involvement in Macao's economic development.

Although Macao's market wasn't large, and couldn't compare at all with the Hong Kong market.

However, Macao's potential was also enormous. After the northern market opened up, Macao would truly usher in its own development opportunities. In the future, there would only be more and more wealthy people in Macao, and these were all potential customers for his products.

This not-so-large market could also give birth to super-rich people, like Mr. Ho. Although he was born in Hong Kong, his main industries were still based in Macao, and he still had hundreds of billions in assets.

Of course, Su Cheng didn't plan to enter the gambling industry. There was no need; he didn't lack that kind of money.

His goals were different from Mr. Ho's.

Mr. Ho hoped to monopolize Macao's gambling industry and always be the big boss of the gambling industry here.

Su Cheng, on the other hand, had his eye on other fields in Macao besides the gambling industry, such as real estate, retail, manufacturing, tourism, and so on.

If he became the NO.1 in these industries, then why would he worry about not making money?

If he did well, creating tens of billions in value for him a year would be very simple.

After returning to Hong Kong, Su Cheng had two more days of peace and quiet. In the blink of an eye, the time came to March 26th.

That day at noon, Su Cheng received a call from Zhang Qizheng, saying that he had collected a lot of recent property sales information in Hong Kong.

Without saying a word, Su Cheng took a car directly to the Tianyuan Building in North Point.

In Zhang Qizheng's office, as soon as Su Cheng came in, Zhang Qizheng handed him a stack of information.

"Boss, all the information I've found is here. This information has integrated major real estate agencies in Hong Kong and other housing sales channels. All properties below market price and with a value higher than HK$100,000, located in the core area of Hong Kong Island or the southern city center of the Kowloon Peninsula...

I then screened them again to exclude some problematic properties. In the end, there are still more than five hundred properties for sale in this information. I have already sorted them according to the property's pricing, from highest to lowest. This includes residential properties, villas, office buildings, commercial buildings, industrial parks, factories, warehouses, and so on," Zhang Qizheng explained as Su Cheng took the information.

Su Cheng nodded, not rushing to answer, but walked to the sofa next to him, sat down, and started reading.

Opening the first page, he was surprised to find that it was a piece of land for sale, and the sale price reached HK$2.386 billion.

The seller was Jardine Matheson and Hongkong Land Group, located near Queen's Pier in Central, no more than 30 meters away from the Victoria Harbour waterfront.

This plot of land has a land area of 55,000 square feet. In terms of land area, it is even slightly larger than the current Hong Kong's tallest building, Connaught Place.

He had originally considered buying a piece of land to build the world's tallest building, but he didn't expect to find such a good piece of land here?

"What's the situation with this piece of land?" There wasn't much information written on it, so Su Cheng asked Zhang Qizheng.

"This piece of land was jointly bought by Jardine Matheson Group and Hongkong Land Company last year for 2.386 billion. Originally, they planned to jointly build a skyscraper here, but later, as you know, due to Wharf, Jardine and Hongkong Land suffered heavy losses.

This location has a relatively large impact on Hong Kong's city skyline. According to the agreement they signed with the government when they bought it, construction must start within one year of buying the land, otherwise, a high penalty will be charged. Jardine and Hongkong Land also need to repay high loans to the bank recently. Combining various factors, they had the idea of selling.

Of course, the price still had to be negotiated. Anyway, it wasn't his business to lose money.

Jardine Matheson and Hongkong Land were in urgent need of money, so the price might not be negotiable.

The market wasn't good this year, so Su Cheng wasn't worried that someone else would suddenly buy it.

Otherwise, they wouldn't have released the news for more than a month, and there would still be no interested buyers. (End of this chapter)
