Reborn Tycoon Rise

(The last chapter was blocked~depressed, who is so boring? What good will it do to you if you report this crazy book of mine?)

Xu Zhi turned his head and saw the familiar glasses frame at a glance, and said with a smile: "Li Sheng, I didn't expect you to be here too."

The visitor was none other than Comrade Li from Yangtze River Industries. With his obvious tendency to go inland, he never expected that he would be invited by Youde.

Li Jiacheng laughed softly and said: "I didn't want to come originally, but the first and second figures in the Hong Kong Governor's Office sent an invitation. It's okay for me not to come."

"That's true." As long as you hang out in Xiangjiang, even if you don't get along with the two people above, you still have to give basic face. Just like in the business world, even if there is a struggle, you have to do it in the dark. They are close friends who are informal, bold and uninhibited. Otherwise, it would be no good for everyone to break up.

Li Jiacheng said: "I heard that Tianshuiwei has been very lively recently. Xu Sheng is really making a big plan. He has been preparing for this a few years ago."

"Business investment often involves gambling. If you win the bet, you will naturally gain something." Xu Zhi said with a smile.

Li Jiacheng nodded and said: "Investment is bound to have risks. Reasonably controlling risks and recovering costs at the right time is also the most important step in risk control. I wonder if Xu Sheng agrees?"

Xu Zhi asked: "What does Li Sheng mean?"

Li Jiacheng said: "I hope to buy part of the land in Tianshuiwei from Xu Sheng, and we can develop it together in the future. First, Xu Sheng can recover part of the original cost as soon as possible, and second, Xu Sheng is also a big boss of Yangtze River Industries. Shareholders, if Cheung Kong Holdings gains profits, you can also profit from it. The third thing is that everyone can work together and pool everyone's resources to develop the value of Tianshuiwei."

At that time, Tin Shui Wai was disliked by almost all real estate companies. Although the area was large enough, the location was remote and the transportation was inconvenient. Only fools from the mainland like China Resources dared to take over this project.

Although Li Jiacheng also invested in the shares at the beginning, he was only a small shareholder. He was more interested in making friends with China Resources and the mainland government behind it. In addition, his main focus at that time was to acquire Hutchison Whampoa from HSBC, so he did not care. Tin Shui Wai development plan.

Then the battle for Hutchison broke out and Tianshuiwei's shares were sold to Xu Zhi. Naturally, Li Jiacheng would no longer pay attention to Tianshuiwei's affairs.

Until the past year, before former Governor MacLehose resigned, he announced that the Hong Kong government had officially approved the development plan for Tin Shui Wai, with the intention of rebuilding a new town where 500,000 people would live here in the future. At the same time, Xu Zhi's Several major companies have also simultaneously announced plans for the Tin Shui Wai Industrial Zone, which will build several large-scale modern factories and be able to directly recruit at least 20,000 employees.

Twenty thousand direct employees can, to a certain extent, create 50,000 or more indirect jobs. In this way, the 500,000 new town plan is very likely to succeed.

Last year, when this plan first came out, all the real estate businessmen were jealous of the land in Tin Shui Wai. But then the land prices began to fall, and there was a political crisis like Iron Lady Wrestling. Everyone was too busy taking care of themselves that they had no energy to plan. Picture other lands.

"How much area does Li Sheng want?" Xu Zhi did not refuse directly because he wanted to know how ambitious Li Jiacheng was.

Li Jiacheng said: "50 hectares, 500 million Hong Kong dollars, what does Xu Sheng think of this price? But I have certain requirements in terms of location. It must be land near an industrial zone."

"The price is indeed pretty good, but I have no plan to sell the land in Tin Shui Wai." Xu Zhi shook his head and refused. He originally spent almost HK$1 billion in cash to acquire the entire Tin Shui Wai area. Without taking into account inflation, at this moment By selling one-tenth of the total area, half of the cost can be recovered.

From the perspective of risk control, this is indeed a good deal, but Xu Zhike knows the future development trend. In another five years, housing prices in Central and nearby areas will rise to the point where even the middle class cannot afford it. At that time, places like Tin Shui Wai will become people's best choice.

In the original history, Tin Shui Wai basically had no commercial facilities, inconvenient transportation, and no local employment opportunities. Under these conditions, Li Ka-shing was able to make a net profit of tens of billions of Hong Kong dollars through a piece of land with a total area of ​​only 38.5 hectares. .

In this life, Tian Shui Wai will become a new town that can be self-sufficient and form a virtuous business cycle. Xu Zhi provides hundreds of thousands of people with jobs, housing, commercial facilities, financial services, etc., and in While it is convenient for this group, it can also gain huge benefits for itself.

Li Jiacheng was not surprised by the rejection and asked: "Xu Sheng, the series of layouts you designed to develop Tianshuiwei are very impressive, but I can clearly say that it is difficult for you to develop such a large project on your own. project.."

"Maybe, but that is also a matter of the future. In the short term, I have not sold any land in Tianshuiwei." Xu Zhi said.

Li Jiacheng asked: "What Xu Sheng means is that part of the land will still be sold in the future?"

"It's possible, but that will be a few years or even ten years from now. It doesn't make any sense to discuss it now." Xu Zhi shook his head and said. Tin Shui Wai has nearly 5 square kilometers of land. With such a large area, it is unlikely that all projects will be developed by oneself. If part of it is released appropriately, one can form an alliance of interests with some people, and the other can take advantage of others. Resources are used to strengthen the popularity and economy of the entire Tianshuiwei. As long as you can ensure that you can take the bulk, it is also necessary to give some allies some broth.

Li Jiacheng smiled and said: "It's a pity. I was planning to work with Xu Sheng again."

Xu Zhi asked: "I heard that the recent performance of Yangtze River Industries has not been good, and the stock price has fallen a lot. There has been news in the market for a long time, but today it seems that Li Sheng's funds are still very abundant!"

Although Li Jiacheng had already speculated on the coming real estate crisis because he was backed by the mainland, it did not mean that he could sit back and relax completely. The entire real estate industry was in a downturn. No matter how well prepared Cheung Kong Industries was, it would still be affected by the general environment. , after all, a large number of properties cannot be sold and commercial shops are unrented. This situation is now spread throughout Hong Kong, and even several rent-collecting properties owned by Xu Zhi have been affected.

"Cheung Kong Holdings has been affected, but if I encounter suitable investment, as long as it is in line with the company's long-term development strategy, I don't care even if it increases debt." Li Jiacheng said with a smile.
