Reborn Tycoon Rise

Chapter 170 MacLehose

Xu Zhidao: "As long as Weicheng Company agrees to my conditions, there will be no problem on my side."

Li Jiacheng said: "Xu Sheng, asking for 20% of the shares is a bit too much."

Xu Zhi shrugged and said, "Then there is no other way. There are actually many undeveloped places in Xiangjiang. I don't necessarily have to choose Tian Shui Wai!"

The current shares of Weicheng Company are: 51% of China Resources, 25% of Dabao Real Estate, and 24% of Cheung Kong Holdings. It owns a total of 488 hectares of land in Tin Shui Wai.

It is almost close to 5 square kilometers. You must know that the entire Xiangjiang is only a little over 1,000 square kilometers, which is equivalent to 0.5% of the land in Xiangjiang. Even if it is remote, such a large land is extremely important.

Although there would be a real estate crisis in the early 1980s, historically, in order to show goodwill to the mainland government, the Hong Kong government spent HK$2.258 billion to reclaim this land, which was a huge sum of money.

After the Hong Kong government recovered it, it sold 38.5 hectares of the better-located area to Weicheng Company for HK$800 million. Later, China Resources was unable to develop it, so Li Jiacheng took over the project and developed Kingswood Villas, one of the ten most fenced villages in Hong Kong. , making billions of Hong Kong dollars in profit.

This is because Lao Li just wanted to make a fortune and leave, and it only has one-tenth of the original area. If Xu Zhi introduces industry now and asks the Hong Kong government not to reclaim this land, and then take advantage of the real estate crisis to take the remaining shares Once it is obtained, even if it cannot get the recovery money from the Hong Kong government, with such a large land and its own industry, in the ten years after 1985, housing prices in Hong Kong have skyrocketed, and this piece of commercial land will definitely be able to make greater profits.

Of course, the industry in Xiangjiang has shrunk since the 1990s, but this is not a problem. Some European and American countries have higher labor costs than Xiangjiang, but they still have their own industries. As long as they can slowly transform by then, the entire 5 square kilometers of Tin Shui Wai will be prosperous. Big brings endless profits.

Asking for 20% of the shares is not in vain. Xu Zhi is also willing to pay, but China Resources does not agree. Once Evergrande is introduced, their own shareholding will be less than 51%. This has political significance for state-owned enterprises. Completely different.

Li Jiacheng sighed and said: "Xu Sheng, China Resources Corporation does not agree to reduce its shares. If this is the case, then the shares of our Yangtze River Industrial and Dabao Real Estate will be severely diluted."

Xu Zhi shrugged and said, "That's up to you. I only want 20% of the shares. With my participation, Weicheng Company can develop the entire Tianshuiwei. You guys should figure it out for yourself!"

Li Jiacheng couldn't help but frowned. If Weicheng Company could not bring in enough industry, the entire project might be abandoned. Currently, the only company in Hong Kong that has this ability is Midea Electronics Group, but the other party insisted on taking a stake. In China Resources If he refuses to reduce his shareholding, he can only dilute the shares of Changjiang Industrial and Dabao Real Estate. Once this happens, the shareholding of Changjiang Industrial will be reduced to 15%. In this case, no matter how big the profits of Weicheng Company are, it will not have anything to do with him. Big.

Xu Zhi asked: "Li Sheng is still very optimistic about this project?"

Li Jiacheng nodded: "Of course, Hong Kong Island and Kowloon areas in Hong Kong will be full sooner or later, and the population will inevitably transfer to other places. Although Tin Shui Wai is not the only place, it is better because the land price is cheap and the area is large enough. As long as the traffic problem is solved, there will be The development value is just that there are currently big problems in transportation and economy, which restrict our development.”

The root cause of everything is actually the economy. The most taboo thing for a region is not having its own export-oriented economy. After all, all housing prices, service industries, and consumption are part of the economic cycle, but the most basic source is industry.

Xu Zhi said: "If Li Sheng doesn't want to reduce his shares, how about driving away the other person himself?"

"Does Xu Sheng want to drive Dabao Real Estate out of business?" Li Jiacheng understood immediately.

Xu Zhi nodded: "This is the only way. Currently, the project in Tianshuiwei cannot be developed. Dabao Real Estate has also invested a lot of money. I can buy their shares at a premium, and they will not suffer from this."

Xu Zhi had never heard of such a real estate company in later generations. He sent someone to investigate and found out that Dabao Real Estate was actually just a medium-sized real estate company. The boss, Hu Yingbing, was the younger brother of Hu Yingxiang of Hopewell Industrial. Apart from this, there was nothing else at all. With so much influence, there are currently only a few properties and real estates for sale in Xiangjiang.

Li Jiacheng thought for a while and said, "I can try it!"

Xu Zhi smiled and said: "Then I hope I can hear the good news about Li Sheng soon."

The auction soon reached its climax. Xu Zhi occasionally followed a group of people to call for bids, but the ones he chose were from the very beginning. Once the subsequent prices came up, he withdrew, which was regarded as participation. The Hong Kong Governor's Office The face still had to be given, but it was impossible to pay. When the last piece of porcelain from the Song Dynasty palace was sold for HK$700,000, all the auction items were over, and many people started to form groups and chat casually.

Just as Xu Zhi was preparing to hang out until the end of the party, Bao Fuda waved from a distance, and at the same time said a few words to Governor MacLehose beside him, and they walked towards Xu Zhi together.

"Your Majesty the Governor, this is Xu Zhi, the founder of Midea Electronics. He has been the best Chinese in Hong Kong for decades." Bao Fuda said the last sentence in a very loud voice, which attracted the attention of many Chinese nearby.

"Mr. Xu Zhi, I like the games developed by your company very much, especially Xiangjiang Cube, which has increased our reputation in the world." MacLehose greeted with a polite handshake.

"Your Excellency Governor, I am very honored to receive your invitation." Xu Zhi smiled and shook MacLehose's hand.

"Xu Sheng, your company is now our banner in Xiangjiang, and it is also one of the strongest companies in the economic field. I like industry very much, and I am also optimistic about the technology industry. I hope that Midea can develop better in the future and make contributions to Xiangjiang." For a greater contribution, if there are any problems, Xu Sheng can come directly to the Hong Kong Governor's Office to discuss with me." MacLehose said solemnly, which is actually a gesture of support for the industry.

Xu Zhi's main business is the export industry. This kind of industry does not have much conflict of interest in Hong Kong. It basically makes money overseas, so MacLehose can naturally say this, but if it is a real estate company, There is too much connection with the government. Under normal circumstances, high-level officials do not meet with real estate businessmen frequently, and even if they do, it is through official channels.

"Thank you, Your Majesty the Governor!" This is just a polite word on this occasion, but it also shows that it is a kind of status recognition.

In Hong Kong, there are only a handful of people who can directly talk to the Governor of Hong Kong, such as Tai Pan from HSBC Jardine, shipping king Bao Yugang, etc. However, this time MacLehose spent a lot of time chatting with some ordinary rich people. What is clear is that at this critical moment, I want to win over more people.
