I want to be a giant of Hong Kong Island

Chapter 448 [Sky One Finger at Auction 2]

The auction house was in full swing, and everyone was determined to win at the beginning. When the price reached 2.3 million, only the Mobil Consortium (US-funded), Jardine Matheson (British-funded), the Sanhe Consortium (Japanese-funded), and the Changsha Consortium remained. Real estate (Chinese capital).

Wu Guangyao raised his arm, raised his right hand, and raised an index finger;
The auctioneer immediately said: "No. 8 Changshi Real Estate has increased the price by 1000 million, and the bid is 2.4 million Hong Kong dollars!"

The faces of the three consortiums that were still competing suddenly became stiff, it was too ruthless!

Cheung Kong Real Estate raises the price by either 500 million Hong Kong dollars or 1000 million Hong Kong dollars each time. It is simply contemptuous of everyone!

The rest of the consortia that gave up the competition began to appreciate this frequent scene, and their faces were much more relaxed.

The face of the person in charge of the Mobil consortium is unpredictable. Will Mobil follow?

Mobil Corporation came to Hong Kong Island as early as the 19th century and entered the oil field of Hong Kong Island;

In 1965, Hong Kong Island Mobil Co., Ltd., a real estate developer and a builder in the United States jointly formed a real estate company to develop a large housing estate-Mei Foo New Village;
The Mei Foo New Village site is located on the shore of the beautiful Lai Chi Kok Bay in West Kowloon. It was originally a huge Mobil oil depot;

Mei Foo New Village has a land area of ​​30 square feet and will be built into a large housing estate with 13000 residential units;

Yankee heart can be said to be very dark, the built houses are densely packed, and there is no sunshine at all!

The person in charge of the Mobil consortium was ruthless and raised a sign to signal a price increase of 100 million Hong Kong dollars.
"No. 6 Mei Foo Real Estate increased the price by HK$100 million, and the bid was HK$2.41 million!" The auctioneer's tone was obviously lowered.

Wu Guangyao raised his right hand again, still with an index finger!
"No. 8 Cheung Kong Real Estate has increased the price by 1000 million Hong Kong dollars, and the bid is 2.51 million Hong Kong dollars!" The auctioneer's high-spirited tone came out again!

Of course, it's not that the auctioneer did this on purpose, but a little involuntarily excited!
The auctioneers were not the only ones who were excited, except for the few consortiums who were still bidding, the rest were all excited!
Perhaps the reporters who came in had the excitement on their faces, which could be seen.

So relieved, so relieved!
This is what all Chinese think!

Chinese-funded enterprises have greatly increased the morale of the Chinese people!

It can be said that in the end, the Mobil Consortium, Sanhe Consortium, and Jardine Matheson have lost hope.

Everyone is just asking the price to be the price in their hearts, so that Wu Guangyao can pay more money!

"Cheung Kong Real Estate, bid 2.75 million Hong Kong dollars!"

"2.75 million. Second time!"

"2.75 million. The third time, deal!"

With the hammer dropped by the auctioneer, Wu Guangyao's personal real estate company reaped a piece of 'Land King'.

Wu Guangyao plans to develop this piece of land into three high-rise buildings, mainly for rental;

The land is vertically oriented in the north-south direction, so there can only be one high-rise building on the side close to Salisbury Road, and the other two buildings are not close to Salisbury Road;

Then the high-rise building on Salisbury Road must be a department store to earn money from tourists.

When Wu Guangyao walked out of the auction house, a group of reporters gathered together, waiting for Wu Guangyao to be interviewed again!

"Mr. Wu, your performance today is really wonderful. Every time you raise your hand, the price is not 500 million Hong Kong dollars, or 1000 million Hong Kong dollars. It is simply 'a finger in the sky at the auction'" a Chinese reporter said excitedly.

Wu Guangyao said politely: "It's overrated! Actually, I also called for 300 million Hong Kong dollars, but I found that this kind of name will soon be submerged in all the big consortiums, and there will not be much waves. I have money; so I simply bid 500 million Hong Kong dollars, and in the end I cruelly bid 1000 million Hong Kong dollars."

All the reporters burst out laughing, this Chinese leader is really courageous and funny!

A young reporter asked: "Mr. Wu, but will this name cost you millions?"

Wu Guangyao did not make fun of his ignorance, but patiently explained: "Otherwise, the more I am like this, the less confidence the financial groups will have, so they will lower the price instead. Of course, the value of this land is unlimited , you only see the present, but I see the future; so, I don't care about the loss of millions!"

On the second day, the newspapers on Hong Kong Island basically reported that the Chinese capitalists represented by Wu Guangyao fought alone against American, British, French, and Japanese capitals, and won the final victory!

And the reputation of "the auction's one finger" was also used by everyone to express the intense situation at the auction in turn!
"It's amazing! Mr. Wu Guangyao is worthy of being the richest man in the world, the richest man in the Chinese community, and the leader of the Chinese community in Hong Kong Island!" A citizen sighed excitedly as if he was there at the time.

"Why do I feel that Shaqianyao was slaughtered by the British?" An untimely voice came out.

"Slaughter? The room is still skyrocketing, and you actually think that the king of land in Kowloon is not worth 2.75 million Hong Kong dollars? If I have money, let alone 2.75 million Hong Kong dollars, even 3 million Hong Kong dollars must be won!" A citizen retorted .

The citizens were talking about it, and the general public opinion was that Wu Guangyao had greatly boosted the morale of the Chinese people on Hong Kong Island.

At this time, the Hong Kong government is also discussing privately!

"It seems that the possibility of British capital obtaining such high-quality land in the future is very low!" said an official.

"It can't be said that our government sells land based on the principle of selling high-ranking land! The reason why this 'land king' is auctioned at this time is to boost the economy of Hong Kong Island." An official responded.

"That's the reason. I just lament Wu Guangyao's strong economic strength. He alone can fight against the entire British capital!"

"He's not alone. HSBC is probably firmly on his side. There are also Wheelock Bank and Hutchison Bank. They all cooperate with him."

"Speaking of HSBC, you know! Universal Group's one-year dividend to HSBC has reached 2.2 million U.S. dollars."

"How could it be possible not to know! This is widely rumored. HSBC's annual profit is only 2.1 million Hong Kong dollars, and the dividend of Universal Group is seven times that."

"I'm a shareholder of HSBC, haha!"

Wu Guangyao's "Sky One Finger" in the auction house set off a storm in Hong Kong Island, which can be said to be a powerful one;
Next, the Hong Kong government still has a lot of land to auction. Wu Guangyao will pass a careful selection before deciding whether to participate;
Wu Guangyao predicted that his participation in the subsequent land auctions would not be high;

Five land auctions, maybe I will participate in one or two, and I will not do my best;

I am now, I only want to be the 'land king'!
Although I know that the land price on Hong Kong Island will skyrocket and I have enough funds, I have to give others a chance!
Foreign companies investing in real estate is also an investment. Wu Guangyao, as a Chinese leader in Hong Kong Island, also needs to consider the development of Hong Kong Island, and must not shut out those foreign investors.

It's a very simple truth. In the previous life, Dragonair and Cathay Pacific fought each other, but the mainland helped Cathay Pacific instead. Why?
Cathay Pacific’s sale of part of its shares is one reason, and more importantly, the mainland wants these foreign companies to stay on Hong Kong Island;
The economic development of Hong Kong Island is inseparable from these investors;
All of a sudden, the economic impact on Hong Kong Island would be devastating.

In the 80s of the previous life, led by Li Chaoren, including Chinese families such as Lee Shau Kee and Zheng Yutong, they even formed a consortium to initiate the acquisition of Landmark Corporation,
In the end, it also gave up. One of the reasons was that it was afraid of causing a complete break between Chinese capital and British capital, and then all British capital would withdraw from Hong Kong Island;

So, as a consortium developing on Hong Kong Island, are you willing to see the economy of Hong Kong Island sluggish?Want to make the world feel that this place is exclusive?
Obviously unwilling!
Generally speaking, British investment has a great effect on the development of Hong Kong Island!

Therefore, Wu Guangyao decided that he would grab other than important projects;

For the rest of the items, I will not eat alone!

For the sake of Hong Kong Island's economy, these British capitals must also stay on Hong Kong Island.

If you don't even have this kind of foresight, and only know that you are blindly killing British capital, I am afraid that the economy of Hong Kong Island will also be greatly affected;

Then the value of so many properties of your own will be greatly reduced!

Isn't there a mantra!

'Let yourself play! '

If Hong Kong Island is really only Chinese-funded, then this sentence is really true!
