I Want To Be a Rich Man on Hong Kong Island

  Chapter 447 [Sky One Finger at Auction 1]

  It's another spring!

  Shi Jun knocked in and said, "Boss, it's time to go!"

  Wu Guangyao heard the words, stood up from the office with full energy, and said with a smile: "Then let's go, let the foreigners see, our Chinese style!"

  Shi Jun sincerely admired: “These foreigners want to grab the high-quality properties and land on our Chinese Hong Kong Island in the future, but it will be difficult to climb the sky. I believe they will understand this soon!”

  It turns out that today is the day when the Hong Kong government auctions the "King of Land" in Kowloon!

  Since it is called the "King of the Land", it is sure that the geographical conditions are excellent land;

  This ‘Land King’ is located on Salisbury Road in Kowloon, west of the Peninsula Hotel, and it is 133,000 square feet in total;

  Salisbury Road is an east-west road in Tsim Sha Tsui East. On the south side of Salisbury Road are the New World Centre and the Hong Kong Arts Centre, and the first building complex on the north side is Wangdi.

  The ‘Status’ auctioned today, and the Peninsula Hotel is located on the first building complex on the north side of Salisbury Road.

  Tsim Sha Tsui East itself is a tourist area, and the area of ​​shops is two or three times more expensive than in Central, not to mention that the "King of Land" is the core area of ​​the Tsim Sha Tsui tourist area.

  So, the starting price of the 133,000 square feet "Land King" is 200 million Hong Kong dollars, which is as high as 1,500 Hong Kong dollars per square foot.

  As far as Wu Guangyao knows, this piece of land in the previous life was sold at a sky-high price of 2,100 Hong Kong dollars per square foot!

  If there is no appearance of Wu Guangyao, then this land will definitely be taken by British and American companies, because the Chinese have not yet appeared such big-time figures;

  The result is that in the next few decades, the value of this land and the buildings on it will rise to hundreds of billions of Hong Kong dollars;

  It can be said that after the 1970s and 1980s in the previous life, it seemed that Chinese capital had defeated British capital;

  In fact, British capital has already made a lot of money!

  As far as Wu Guangyao knows, the former Land Company owns properties worth hundreds of billions of Hong Kong dollars in the Central District;

  For example, various high-quality properties in the central district such as Kangle Building and Exchange Square One, Two and Three;

  Coincidentally, the land of the Kangle Building is about to be auctioned. The land of the Exchange Square was auctioned in the 1980s. It is absolutely impossible for these two pieces of land to flow into the hands of British capital.

  The auction site of the “King of Land” in Kowloon was in the Conference Room of Government House. When Wu Guangyao and Shi Jun got off the car, there were many reporters outside;

  Some of these reporters may be eligible to enter the auction house, but most of them are impossible to enter, so squatting outside is also a good way to obtain material.

   "It's Mr. Wu Guangyao!"

  The reporters were excited when they saw Wu Guangyao getting off the car!

  In the eyes of many Chinese reporters, Wu Guangyao is the only one who can compete with British banks, American consortiums, and Japanese consortia;

  So as a Chinese reporter, it is self-evident who hopes to win!

   "Mr. Wu, can I have a brief interview?" An old reporter shouted to Wu Guangyao. Because these reporters were fixed off-line, they couldn't come in.

  Wu Guangyao checked the time on his watch, then walked to the reporter group.

  A reporter asked quickly: "Mr. Wu, are you determined to win?"

  Wu Guangyao said with a smile: “Every auctioneer who comes here today may be determined to win, but I seem to have a better chance of winning!”

  Everyone laughed. Wu Guangyao's relaxed state made everyone very comfortable.

  Simple answers to a few questions, Wu Guangyao left a group of reporters and went to the auction site;

  The reason why Wu Guangyao speaks so well to a group of reporters is equivalent to supporting his own reporters;

  What's more, this is the situation on Hong Kong Island. No matter how successful you are, you can't be overly arrogant towards reporters unless the other party is a Yuji!

  Wu Guangyao walked into the auction room, and immediately caused a crowd of people who came first to wait and see, and their expressions became solemn.

  Hong Kong Island took out the Kowloon'Land King' auction this time, but it has a clear purpose, that is, to let the real estate industry of Hong Kong Island release a number of signals to the world, that is, the real estate industry of Hong Kong Island is booming!

  So, this auction attracted a lot of US-funded consortia, French consortiums, and Japanese consortia. If Wu Guangyao is not wrong, in the original history, the winning bidder should not have been Jardine.

  Wu Guangyao smiled and nodded to everyone, but this behavior seemed to make people misunderstood. Everyone thought that Wu Guangyao was a kind of light-hearted, or looked down upon everyone, so the expression on everyone's face became more solemn.

  In a short while, Keswick from Yihe International also arrived, seeing Wu Guangyao with the same solemn expression on his face;

  After a while, Kadoorie’s arrival made Wu Guangyao snort and join in the fun;

  It can be said that at this time, the Kadoorie family has tried its best and there is no hope, not to mention the Kadoorie family does not have much real estate strength;

  The Kadoorie family’s hotel does have investment real estate, but it is indeed a joint venture with a Chinese.

  After a while, Shi Yueke of Swire International went into the auction room. When he saw Wu Guangyao, his expression flashed unnaturally;

  Why?

  It's nothing more than the blue chimney sold low!

  Schyoke never thought that the real estate industry on Hong Kong Island has recovered so quickly, so far, it has even risen by more than 30% compared to before the plunge.

  So, if you sell Blue Chimney at this time, you can at least sell for 100 million!

  For more than a year, Swire Pacific lost 25 million Hong Kong dollars. How could Shiyoke feel better!

  Uncomfortable, uncomfortable, but trading is what you want, and no one is to blame;

  Not to mention this kind of thing, Swire Pacific will not mention it, after all, it is a bit embarrassing!

  Swire Pacific's visit this time can be said to be just for soy sauce, to inquire about the real estate market on Hong Kong Island;

  After all, Swire Pacific did not enter the real estate industry at this time, just wait and see!

  Swire Pacific has a land reserve of at least 4 million square feet, of which the Taikoo Dockyard has nearly 2.6 million square feet, and later generations built a huge Taikoo City;

  So, if Swire Pacific enters the real estate industry, it will soon be among the top ten real estate companies on Hong Kong Island.

  Hutchison Foreign Company, Qi Dezun also came to the auction site, and friendly and Wu Guangyao nodded to indicate that although Hutchison Foreign Company entered the real estate industry early, its overall strength was very weak;

  When Hutchison Foreign Bank became truly powerful, it was only after the merger with Huangpu Shipping that it became a powerful foreign bank.

  Three of the four ocean trips have come. It seems that Little Madden is not in the mood to join in the fun, and now Wheelock is devoted to shipping;

  This kind of behavior can be said to have succeeded and defeated. When the shipping of later generations was sluggish, Wheelock lost a lot, which directly led to Wheelock's acquisition by the Chinese.

  Knowing that the auctioneer was there, there was no Chinese real estate company coming, which made Wu Guangyao a little disappointed!

  It seems that Chinese real estate companies are rising on a large scale, and they have to be listed on the stock market. Otherwise, just relying on their own strength is not enough.

  The auction is about to start, everyone is quiet!

  In this auction, Wu Guangyao raised his placard in person, which is also a strategy to oppress a group of opponents!
