The Industrial Giant Reborn.

Chapter 217 Cooperation with the Four Great Families in Hong Kong in the Future
"Haha, compared with Chen Sheng, the size of Changjiang Industrial is like a child." Li Jiacheng said without losing his grace.

Although unwilling to admit it, the Chinese real estate companies in Hong Kong have already realized this reality. Chen Zhiwen, who has rescued Hutchison Wong from the debt crisis, has far surpassed them in capital scale, and even the five real estate companies combined cannot compare with others. Not to mention, there are several companies under the other party that specialize in overseas business. Although I don’t know the specific profit, the scale in Hong Kong is very large. A Midea industrial park has already settled 1.5 yuan before it is fully invested. employment around people.

"In terms of real estate operations, whether it's Hehuang or Xinghe, compared with Changjiang Industrial, they are still far behind." Chen Zhiwen said with a smile.

"Experience can be learned, it's not a big deal." Li Jiacheng said: "Chen Sheng, it's rare to see a lot of well-known Chinese entrepreneurs from Hong Kong here today. Otherwise, let me introduce you."

"Okay, thank you very much." Chen Zhiwen nodded. In fact, he had already seen many familiar faces. Some well-known businessmen in Hong Kong, even if they don't know each other, will know each other's appearance through some channels. In the same way, Basically, these people also know Chen Zhiwen, but they don't know each other, so it's not easy to come over and strike up a conversation.

Under the introduction of Li Jiacheng, Chen Zhiwen had a face-to-face meeting with well-known Chinese entrepreneurs in Hong Kong, such as Zheng Yutong of New World Group, Li Shau Kei of Henderson Enterprises, Guo Desheng of Sun Hung Kai Properties, Chen Zengxi of Hang Lung Group, Chen Detai of Dachang Properties, Wang Dehui from Huahan Group, Chen Tinghua from Nanfeng Industrial, Huang Zhixiang from Sino Real Estate, Luo Yingshi from Great Eagle Real Estate, etc.

After a while, the famous Chinese real estate giants in Hong Kong basically know each other. These people are basically the super giants of Hong Kong in the future. In a few years, under the crazy appreciation of the real estate market, these people will become Billionaires, even billionaires, are gradually transforming from real estate and slowly monopolizing all walks of life in Hong Kong, thus cutting off the opportunities for latecomers to cross classes.

In the 80s, there were characters like Liu who could rise, but in the 90s, they basically disappeared.

In addition to Chinese capital, there are also many British capital. The most conspicuous ones are naturally Niu Bijian and Bao Fuda. They were surrounded by many British ghosts, but after seeing Chen Zhiwen, these two came over to say hello.

"Mr. Chen, I didn't expect you to come here." Niu Bijian approached and said with a smile.

"Who isn't interested in the subway entrance property in Central, Hong Kong as a whole?" Chen Zhiwen said.

"That's right, but Chen Sheng has just acquired two buildings of Wheelock and is developing a super-large community like Whampoa Garden. Is there really no pressure in terms of funds?" Niu Bijian asked casually.

"Landmark's recent actions are not small, and everyone is just doing each other." Chen Zhiwen replied.

"Okay, let's see the real chapter according to their own abilities." Niu Bijian said with a smile.

"Each according to their ability." Chen Zhiwen said lightly.

Although it is a competition, the smell of gunpowder is not enough. There are several real estate auctions in Hong Kong every month, and everyone participates selectively. It is fair to compete according to their strengths. There is no normal business in Hong Kong.

At 10 am, everyone sat in their seats, with a table in front of them and an envelope on the table.

People from the MTR Corporation soon appeared. With everyone's attention, the host introduced the information of the two land auctions today to everyone, including the area size, floor area ratio, commercial nature, etc.

In fact, everyone here already knows this information, but you still have to listen to it. There are two subway entrances, and a piece of land next to each subway entrance. , with a floor area ratio of 3.3, that is to say, a total of 4.1 square feet of commercial office buildings can be built on two pieces of land.

This area is not very large, not as good as the newly built Xinghe headquarters building, but the location is obviously much better. The commercial value of the subway entrance can be said to be the highest in a city, and the price is naturally very high.

After the introduction, under the explanation of the host, everyone put the price or cooperation method they could provide into the envelope.

Those who came here had already made preparations, and within a moment, everyone handed in their envelopes.

Afterwards, there was a sumptuous lunch prepared by the MTR Corporation for everyone. Some people were not interested in it, so they got up and left, while others didn't care, so they stayed.

"Chen Sheng, please wait a moment." Chen Zhiwen, who was afraid to stay behind, was about to leave when he was stopped by a familiar voice.

"Li Sheng, what else is there?" Chen Zhiwen turned his head and saw several people behind Li Jiacheng, namely Zheng Yutong, Li Zhaoji and Guo Desheng.These four people are the heads of the four major families that monopolized Hong Kong in history.

"The four of us have something to discuss with Chen Sheng." Li Jiacheng said with a smile, "We have already prepared a private room upstairs."

"Okay, then let's go." Chen Zhiwen nodded and agreed. In the future, the heads of the four major families will come to find him. Most likely it will be related to investment or business matters, and he is also very interested.

After the five people came to a private room upstairs alone, everyone chatted with each other for a while, and the waiter also served the food. Zheng Yutong was more casual and said with a smile: "Everyone, I am the host here today, everyone, you are welcome, this shark fin, goose The liver and caviar are all airlifted from Europe, and the taste is very good, and the chef here is also the most famous Michelin chef in Europe.”

"It's pretty good." Guo Desheng said after taking a few sips.

"It's delicious." Chen Zhiwen praised the foie gras after tasting a mouthful. The foie gras melts in the mouth and has a very good taste, especially when chilled.

"There are still a lot of delicious food in the back. It's rare for the few of us to get together, and Chen Sheng is even more rare." Zheng Yutong laughed and said: "Everyone eat first, and we will talk about anything later."

"Okay." Li Jiacheng also said with a smile, and everyone was not in a hurry.

Chatting + tasting food, half an hour quickly passed.

"Chen Sheng, you should have heard about the actions of the Hong Kong government in Sha Tin, right?" Li Jiacheng said when everyone was about to eat.

"I've heard of it." Chen Zhiwen nodded.

Previously, Midea’s own industrial park took advantage of the Hong Kong government’s desire to develop Yuen Long to obtain preferential treatment, but the Hong Kong government will not only develop a new town in Yuen Long, and Sha Tin Town is also one of the goals of the Hong Kong government.

"The Hong Kong government has recently released rumors that it intends to reclaim 600 million square feet of sea in Shatian. Several of us are very interested in this, but this project is too big, so if Li Sheng is interested, he can also join in." Li Jiacheng said.

Li Zhaoji on the side also said: "If Chen Sheng joins in, we will have more confidence."

"When will this project start?" Chen Zhiwen asked after thinking about it.

When future generations look back on the history of the four major families in Hong Kong, there is only one large-scale real estate project that the four major families cooperated together, and that is City One Sha Tin located in the new town of Sha Tin.

This project is also the second only to the four villages in the history of Hong Kong, but the initial investment is very high. Because of the reclamation, the Hong Kong government throws out this project because they are lazy to spend their own money. It is not necessary to win this project. How much money, but the follow-up investment is high.

"The Hong Kong government is just letting the wind go. It should be to test the market. It is estimated that it will take half a year or a year for the project to land." Li Jiacheng said: "The few of us have made a deal. As long as Hong Kong's housing prices continue to rise, then this There is definitely a big profit margin for the project.”

"Why do you think housing prices in Hong Kong will continue to rise? The real estate crisis in the past few years will never happen again?" Chen Zhiwen asked rhetorically.

"Chen Sheng, the so-called real estate crisis is nothing more than an economic correction. In the long run, housing prices will definitely rise, and the increase will be greater than most industries." Li Jiacheng smiled and said: "It basically depends on two factors. The first factor is people. As long as there are more and more people, the demand for housing will inevitably increase. Those who do not have a house will buy a house, and those who have a house will change to a better house. The second is the economy. Now Hong Kong has more and more trade, and the local industry is getting stronger and stronger, especially the industry under Chen Sheng, which sells well in Europe and the United States, so we conclude that Hong Kong's real estate market will definitely become stronger and stronger."

"That makes sense." Chen Zhiwen nodded and said with a smile. People are the foundation of real estate. Hong Kong's economy has indeed recovered very quickly recently, and overseas economies have recovered. As a world-renowned assembly factory, Hong Kong will naturally benefit from it. The same is true in the original history.

Now, the export of Midea Red Bull has hit new highs every month. With the orders from Wal-Mart, Costco and even some European supermarkets, Galaxy Trading has exceeded 5000 million Hong Kong dollars in monthly trade volume, which has driven a large number of direct and indirect employment.

"Tomorrow, I will arrange for someone to send the cost of land reclamation and our calculation to your residence. Chen Sheng can arrange for professionals to confirm it. If Chen Sheng is interested, he can join in. There are five of us, 20 yuan per person. % of the shares." Li Jiacheng said.

"Okay, no matter whether you agree or disagree, I will give you an accurate answer." Chen Zhiwen nodded and said, whether to answer or not, it is up to a professional to read the relevant information, although he is not very interested in this kind of thing, But on my father's side, it's still possible.

As for the number of projects?It's not a problem at all. Among the current five real estate tigers, each of them is working on dozens of projects at the same time, cooperating with various British-funded companies, cooperating with Chinese-funded companies, or developing by themselves. It is impossible to catch up with the British giants in a few years.

"Then I'll wait for good news from Chen Sheng." Li Jiacheng nodded and said.

After a while, Chen Zhiwen said goodbye and left, Guo Desheng said: "Do you think Chen Zhiwen will agree?"

"I think so. Chen Zhiwen started hoarding properties in 1974, and he has no intention of selling them. He must be optimistic about the future of Hong Kong's real estate market. As long as he is optimistic, he will be able to know the value of the reclamation project in Sha Tin. "Li Jiacheng said with a smile. Regarding Chen Zhiwen's development history, he still spent some time investigating it. There are traces of large transactions, and it is not difficult to find out.

"I hope so. If the Shatian reclamation is really successful, the returns will be huge, but the investment is too high." Lee Shau-kee nodded and said, Hong Kong Chinese real estate companies often form a consortium to develop large-scale projects. , as long as the project can be guaranteed to be profitable, it is the most stable.

After returning home, Chen Tianfu saw his son and immediately asked with a smile, "How is it?"

Although Hang Yee wanted to win the subway station property project in Central and Admiralty, the MTR Corporation only allowed one bidder to enter, and Chen Tianfu gave the opportunity to his son. He has already participated in this kind of auction. I have visited many times, and I also intend to let my son get to know more top business people in Hong Kong.

"What can we do? Just hand over the cooperation plan we prepared before." Chen Zhiwen shrugged and said, he would like the MTR company to conduct a direct auction model, so that it is enough to fight for financial resources now, although the capital may not be as good as Landmark, But he is the one with the most confidence in the future, and he is not timid when asking for a price.

But come back and think about it, if the MTR Corporation adopts this model, it is very likely to wait for people like Chen Zhiwen or Li Jiacheng to appear, who can not only provide funds for the MTR Corporation to develop subway projects, but also be able to provide funds for the development of subway projects in the future. Share some of the benefits brought about by the rising real estate market.

After all, this kind of business cooperation model is played by Chinese-funded companies very slipperily, and both parties can benefit. Many British-funded companies take the initiative to use their land to cooperate with Chinese-funded companies.

"Okay, then wait. If the MTR is interested in our plan, it will naturally contact us." Chen Tianfu nodded and said, so many companies have submitted their cooperation plans, it is impossible for the MTR to rely on One page to decide who to work with.

In the future, the MTR Corporation will find a few plans that they think are not bad, and then communicate with the parties concerned to sign a more comprehensive cooperation plan agreement. After confirming that there is no problem, it will be announced.

"After the auction, Li Jiacheng, Guo Desheng, Li Zhaoji and Zheng Yutong found me. They wanted me to invest in a project with them. This project has a long cycle, and I am not interested in it, but Dad, if you are interested , you can try it." Chen Zhiwen continued, and then gave the specific details.

The project of Shatian City One, from the beginning of planning to its complete completion, spanned more than ten years, until the early 90s. Except for some problems in the middle of 82-84 due to the real estate crisis, the rest of the time, it was profitable. Besides, even when the land price was the lowest in 84, it was higher than in 79.

But also because of the long span of time, Chen Zhiwen will not put his funds and energy here, but Hengyi Real Estate is okay. My father intends to be a real estate giant in Hong Kong. Naturally, the more involved in these projects, the better. By increasing your own development experience, you can make a profit, and you can also build a good relationship with other real estate giants, and there may be more cooperation in the future.

Before Chinese real estate completely monopolized Hong Kong in the 90s, British capital was the biggest opponent. Basically, Chinese capitals had more cooperation and less confrontation, and cooperation itself was one of the important ways of development.

"I've heard about this project, how about this, I'll send someone to investigate thoroughly after their information comes over, if it can really make a lot of money, I can also invest in it." Chen Tianfu thought for a while and said : "It's just that I am more worried. If we succeed in the MTR project, will it affect our capital chain?"

"Don't worry, the development of the MTR project is very fast, and it is estimated that it will be completed in a little over a year, while the plan for Sha Tin is still early." Chen Zhiwen said that in the past, Li Jiacheng developed it for a year and two months. Developed by an old man, as long as the funds are sufficient, it should be similar.

"Okay, then I can rest assured." Chen Tianfu nodded and said.
