Reborn Tycoon Rise

The Golden Gate Building is located in the Admiralty area of ​​Hong Kong Island. It is in a prime location. However, because it was built in an earlier period, the floors are not high. There are only 26 floors in total. Compared with a group of young big brothers nearby, it is a bit shorter. .

Standing on the top of the building, you can directly overlook most of Central, Victoria Harbor and the Kowloon Peninsula in the distance.

Bao Fuda and his team accompanied Xu Zhi and others. After walking around the building, Bao Fuda said: "Xu Sheng, how are you? Although the Kinmen Building has a history of 20 years, our property company has always maintained it very well. It looks like a new building, both inside and outside."

"The properties of Land and Land are indeed good!" Xu Zhi nodded in praise. Although Land and Land is not as aggressive as many Chinese real estate companies in terms of investment aggressiveness, it far outperforms in terms of property services. In a global leasing survey in the 21st century, Land was ranked the best in the world. Property management companies that have the fewest tenant changes, even in some office buildings in the mainland, are still providing attentive services.

Bao Fuda smiled and said: "Xu Sheng does not have a property company. If our transaction is completed, Xu Sheng can use the same group of people again."

"These are just small things." Xu Zhidao: "But the price of HK$900 million is still too expensive, and the time you requested is too short."

Since the subway company's auction a month ago, Xu Zhi arranged for Yao Mingcheng to form a negotiation team and negotiate with Land for the transfer of the Golden Gate Tower. The two parties conducted many negotiations on the price issue, but never reached a consensus.

The reserve price of Land is HK$900 million, and Evergrande is required to pay half of it first, and the remainder must be completed within 45 days. Naturally, Evergrande will not agree, and requires a transaction price of 820 million, to be paid in half a year.

Bao Fuda said: "Xu Sheng, the price is not high. This is Hong Kong Island, where every inch of land is at a premium. There are basically only some government agencies left in the vacant land nearby. Generally, there may not be one auction a year. Land, this opportunity to own a prime location on Hong Kong Island is a rare one!"

Xu Zhidao: "No matter how rare it is, there is still a price. In December last year, Land acquired the Golden Gate Tower for only 715 million. It has only been half a year now. It is already good to earn 100 million."

Bao Fuda smiled and said: "Since Xu Sheng has checked the information, it should be clear that Jardine Group sold this building to Land. Don't you know the relationship between our group and Jardine? The price was already cheap!

What's more, the housing prices in Xiangjiang have increased by more than 30% in the past six months, and our prices are already very favorable. "

Xu Zhidao: "House prices in Central are completely different from those in ordinary places in Hong Kong. This cannot be confused."

In the core areas of a big city, housing prices are basically stable. Even if housing prices in the surrounding areas skyrocket or plummet, the price fluctuations in these prime areas will be much smaller. For example, in 1982-84 and 1998-2003, even if housing prices plummeted by half Above, but the Central office space only fell by 20%.

Bao Fuda smiled and said: "Xu Sheng, let me tell you something. It is not a secret that our Land is preparing to sell the Golden Gate Building. You are not the only potential buyer. If you hesitate any longer, this opportunity will be gone!" "

"Another buyer." Xu Zhi made a silent calculation in his mind. In 1980, in history, Chen Songqing of Carnegie took over the Golden Gate Building for HK$998 million, and six months later, sold it for HK$1.68 billion.

Judging from the data, it made 700 million Hong Kong dollars in just half a year. It is estimated that only HSBC Bank can make such profits in Hong Kong. However, an investigation a few years later proved that this was just a false transaction. The second transaction of the Golden Gate Tower was not at all It was not completed, and the company involved in the transaction was also a handbag company controlled by Chen Songqing himself.

Chen Songqing structured this false transaction in order to increase his own stock price and raise funds through rights issues. He defrauded a lot of investors, but he also obtained funds to continue to develop the scam.

Xu Zhi said calmly: "It's normal to have competition. After all, who doesn't like valuable things!"

Although I really want this building, if I encounter this number one scammer in Hong Kong, there is no point in fighting for funds. Although the transaction volume of buildings on Hong Kong Island is very small, there are still some opportunities.

…

The next day, as soon as Xu Zhi entered the office, Wang Liming came over and said, "Xu Sheng, the secretariat just received a call. Chen Songqing, the boss of Jianing Real Estate, wants to make an appointment with you!"

"Chen Songqing?" Xu Zhi couldn't help but ask to himself, "Why is this guy looking for me?"

Facing this "most legendary" figure in Hong Kong's business history, Xu Zhi still admires him. He can rely on various means to expand his assets to "billions" of Hong Kong dollars within a few years, even if the means are despicable. But there is no doubt about his ability. If he had not taken this detour or had stopped, he would definitely have a place on the Hong Kong rich list in the future.

However, it is almost impossible to stop a person who is picking up gold. Xu Zhi originally had no intention of having anything to do with such a person, but this time the other party took the initiative to ask him out, so we could see what tricks he had up to him?

The meeting place was arranged at the Presidential Suite of the Peninsula Hotel, which is the most expensive presidential suite in Hong Kong. Although Xu Zhi could afford it, he didn't think it was necessary. In such a situation, Chen Songqing took this trip very seriously. Met.

Chen Songqing was born in 1933. He is 47 years old this year. There is no trace of his age at all. He looks like he is in his early 30s. After seeing Xu Zhi, he immediately shook hands and said with a smile: "I have heard about Xu Sheng's name for a long time. When I saw him today, I was so happy." I feel like half of my life has been wasted!"

Xu Zhidao: "Chen Sheng is so humble. He can stand out in such a fierce market environment in the real estate industry in Xiangjiang. I'm afraid there are not many people in Xiangjiang who have this ability!"

In June 1972, Chen Songqing went bankrupt in Singapore and came to Hong Kong with no other options. He worked as a civil engineering manager in a small company. After a few years, he immediately set up his own business with some money left in his hands. In 1975, he purchased the company for HK$2.5 million. Purchased a piece of hospital land and sold it for 6.2 million the next year.

In fact, this has been a good profit. If it is done step by step, it may not be possible to slowly rise. However, in order to make a fortune quickly, in 1978, Chen Songqing bought a piece of land for 18 million Hong Kong dollars and obtained a loan of 60 million Hong Kong dollars. Later, he obtained a loan of 20 million for 1.7 million Hong Kong dollars of land, and thus obtained a large amount of cash in this snowballing method. By the beginning of 1979, Jia Ning had become an upstart in the real estate industry in Hong Kong!

The various subsequent land transactions, cash-out of luxury homes, and building transfers were all done through covert means, using the stock market to cash out a large amount of funds. If it had not been for the real estate crisis, it is very likely that they would have really gone through the dark and successfully whitewashed themselves.

Compared with this, "Dr. Ma" more than ten years later is probably just playing house!
