My 1999

“The authorities plan to build more residential areas in the central business district and upgrade the ‘financial center’ into a multi-functional community integrating work, life and entertainment.

Not only will the pure commercial area be significantly reduced, but 70% of the area will be converted into mixed commercial and residential areas.

At the same time, the authorities will also build more housing to allow more people to live closer to offices.

Under this policy, old buildings from the CBD to Beach Road and the Bugis area will be converted into mixed-use projects such as residences and hotels, while the southern waterfront area will become Singapore's new city center. "

Xu Liang's heart moved and he instantly remembered the location of 'Southern Waterfront Area'.

It can be expected that there must be amazing benefits here.

If you go in a day earlier, you can eat meat a day earlier.

However, in a place where money is bound to be made, the Singaporean authorities are definitely not willing to leave the bulk of the profits to outsiders.

If you want to eat this piece of meat, you have to think of a way.

Huang Yizong is still going on.

“In order to improve transportation in the CBD, the authorities also plan to open six new subway stations in succession.

Transform Robinson Road into a bus priority lane, expand Anshun Road into a 5-kilometer bicycle lane, and expand a 5-story underground city complex, etc. "

Xu Liang interrupted at the right time: "Can you tell us about this 'Marina Bay'?"

Huang Yizong nodded affirmatively.

“The land area of ​​the Southern Waterfront is approximately 2,000 hectares, covering 30 kilometers of Singapore’s southern coastline, stretching from Marina East Gardens to Pasir Panjang.

It is equivalent to six marina bays, or two punggols, so it is very large. "

Two thousand hectares is 30,000 acres of land, which is really huge in a place like Singapore where land is at a premium.

Xu Liang's eyes lit up instantly.

"Mr. Xu, Platinum Peak Apartments is located in District 2 of Singapore (Chinatown/Tanjong Pagar District), adjacent to the future southern waterfront area, very close to Tanjong Pagar MRT Station, and the transportation is very convenient.

The project has a land area of ​​approximately 5,091 square meters and can be transformed into a super high-rise building that combines restaurants, office buildings and new-concept serviced apartments.

What is rare and valuable is that it is a freehold project. "

Speaking of this, Huang Yizong couldn't help but feel sore. He really didn't want to give such a good land to Xu Liang.

But there is no other way. If they want to get on the bus, they have to buy a ticket.

Otherwise, the US$2 billion in funds raised will be divided up among the related households, and the remaining three melons and two dates will not be enough to eat.

"Mr. Xu, once Baihaifeng is developed, it will become a new landmark in Singapore and the benefits will be huge."

Xu Liang nodded in approval.

5091 square meters. If it is more compact, at least 4000 square meters can be used for construction.

If you build a super high-rise building.

More than 200,000 square meters of building space can be obtained.

Hotels and apartments can be arranged.

"Mr. Huang, the Baihaifeng project is indeed good, but it is still a bit small. It would be great if it could be increased to 50,000 square meters."

It takes 50,000 square meters to build a good urban complex.

These include 150,000 square meters of shopping malls, super high-rise office buildings, luxury hotels and apartments, all with sufficient construction space.

Huang Yizong was shocked by Xu Liang's greed, and Huang Yaozu couldn't help but change his face.

They didn't expect each other's appetite to be so big.

"Mr. Xu, Singapore is not a big place, and the land around Bai Haifeng Apartment is also owned. If you want to merge the land, our Huang family can be a middleman, but whether it can be acquired depends on whether Mr. Xu can impress the other party. .”

Huang Yaozu thought for a while and then said.

"I will hold a private reception in a while. Mr. Huang might as well invite all the surrounding owners over. It doesn't have to be limited to 50,000 square meters. Anyone who is willing to sell within 100,000 square meters can be brought over." Xu Liang smiled. road.

Singapore's real estate industry, like Hong Kong, still has huge room for appreciation in the future.

If you buy it now, you will not suffer any loss whether it is used to build an urban complex or not.

Huang Yaozu looked deeply at the man opposite.

The other party's appetite made him speechless.

"Mr. Xu, land is precious in Singapore. If you really acquire these 100,000 square meters of land, plus the cost of flipping it, I'm afraid you won't be able to complete it without 5 billion Singapore dollars."

Based on the exchange rate between Singapore dollars and US dollars, it is at least US$3.5 billion.

If such a large amount of money is invested entirely in Singapore, it will definitely not bring greater benefits than investing in China at this stage.

However, Xu Liang has no plans to start construction now.

The key is to get the land.

"In addition to the cost of acquisition and renovation, if Mr. Xu wants to build an urban complex, he will also face competition from VivoCity in Sentosa Harbor."

"Vivocity?"

Xu Liang doesn’t know much about the shopping mall industry in Singapore.

“Vivocity was built by Mapletree Group in June 2003 on the site of the former World Trade Center Exhibition Hall.

Covering an area of ​​140,000 square meters, with a net lettable area of ​​100,000 square meters and a total construction area of ​​150,000 square meters, it is Singapore's first comprehensive shopping mall integrating shopping, dining, entertainment and cultural activities, and it is also the largest one of.

It is expected to open in mid-2006. "Huang Yizong replied.

"How far is Baihai Peak from Vivo City?"

“On the subway, it’s only one stop away.”

"That's great." Xu Liang said.

"Very good?"

Huang Yizong is a little bit unable to come back. The distance is close and the competition is fierce. Shouldn't it be bad news?

"Haha, I should have been to Orchard Road. There are many businesses there, but it has made it the most prosperous commercial pedestrian street in Singapore.

Therefore, I am not afraid of the short distance, but I am afraid that the quality of Vivo City is too low. "

The most famous Nanjing Road pedestrian street in Shanghai is home to eight or nine shopping malls, and business is booming.

As a world-renowned tourist city, Singapore has over 10 million tourists a year, especially over one million tourists from China.

As long as Taihua City is built, it can form a huge commercial pedestrian street together with VivoCity.

With tens of millions of tourists every year, plus locals, there is enough food for both restaurants.

"Mr. Xu, the project is too big. If you want to succeed, it is best to obtain official support. Not only will you be able to choose a better land plot, but it will also save a lot of trouble during the acquisition." Huang Yaozu reminded.

"Thank you Mr. Huang for reminding me that the 2,000-hectare southern waterfront area is indeed a good choice." Xu Liangren said.

"What about Bai Haifeng...?"

"I will ask someone to contact Mr. Huang, and I will definitely give you a satisfactory price. The reception also counts. When I confirm the time, I will call Mr. Huang personally."

"Then I'll be waiting for Mr. Xu's call." Huang Yaozu said with a smile.

After Xu Liang nodded, he continued: "The reception is both communication and fund-raising. Of course, no matter what happens in the end, I will definitely keep the share that belongs to the Huang family for you."

The smile on Huang Yaozu's face became even brighter, "We are looking forward to cooperating with Hanhua."

The interests of both parties were agreed upon and the atmosphere relaxed.

After chatting for a while, the Huang family and his son said goodbye and left.

…

"Dad, Xu Liang's appetite is too big."

"I have this confidence." Huang Yaozu sighed.

Apart from anything else, Hanhua alone earned US$16 billion last year.

With this money, twice the amount of funds can be leveraged.

Let alone 100,000 square meters, even doubling it is not a problem.

"Don't talk about today's matters outside."

"I know. ... But do you think he has the possibility of success?" Huang Yizong asked.

"You mean 100,000 square meters of land?"

"Um."

"What do you think?" Huang Yaozu asked.

After thinking for a while, "I don't think the hope is very high. 100,000 square meters of land involves dozens of different owners, and there are also giants like CapitaLand and City Development Co., Ltd."

Their demands are diverse and it is difficult to completely resolve them. "

"Yizong, you only saw the surface, not the essence."

"Nature?"

“All property owners ultimately want to make money. As long as Xu Liang meets their requirements, acquiring these properties will become a very simple matter.

And it just so happened that he not only had money, but also had Hanhua, a coveted money-making channel.

Therefore, it is actually very simple for him to merge the buildings.

The only difficulty is that such a large development plan requires government approval.

But Temasek Holdings is not only an investor in Hanhua, but also a shareholder in Hongmeng. Therefore, the authorities will not stop it, but will be happy to see it succeed and even help him. "

Huang Yizong nodded and pondered for a moment.

"Dad, I just saw a lot of baby stickers and toys in the Xu family mansion. Do you think they are...?"

"Most likely it's just my concubine."

They are not surprised that a rich man has several women around him.

Whether they themselves or the men from other families around them, they have more fun than Xu Lianghua.

"If this concubine gives birth to a child, there is a high probability that he will stay in Singapore. Xu Liang's large investment here is not to pave the way for his illegitimate child, right?" Huang Yizong said with a smile.

"Whether it is true or not, this child is a channel for us to get closer to Xu Liang." Huang Yaozu said.

"It's a pity that it's too early, otherwise we could get married."

“Let the next generation move around more, maybe there will be another chance.”…

——

Xu Liang didn't know that his son had not yet been born, and someone started to make plans.

After seeing off the Huang family and his son, he immediately asked Lu Hui to find a map of Singapore and find the locations of Bai Haifeng and Vivo City. As expected, they were very close.

Huang Yizong said that there is only one stop between the two, which is actually not accurate.

Because Bohai Peak is located between Harbor Station and Chinatown Station.

It’s just that these two subway stations are farther apart than other subway stations, almost twice as long.

So it is normal for both of them to have only one stop.

"Mr. Xu, if we really want to develop Taihua City with buildings here, it would be best to ask the Singapore authorities to open a subway entrance and exit here.

Without convenient transportation, it will have a great impact on the investment and development of Taihua City. "Lu Huidao.

Xu Liang nodded, "First merge the buildings, and then discuss it after the merger is successful. Otherwise, with the subway station, the price for our merger will not be the current price.

If the subway cannot be negotiated after the merger, we will give up the reconstruction for the time being. "

Lu Hui nodded.
