I Want To Be a Rich Man on Hong Kong Island

  Chapter 448 [Sky One Finger at Auction 2]

The auction house was in full swing. At the beginning, everyone was bound to win. Until the price reached 230 million, only the Mobil Consortium (US-funded), Jardine International Co., Ltd. (British-funded), Sanhe Consortium (Japanese-funded) and Chang Real estate (Chinese-owned).

  I saw Wu Guangyao raise his arm, raised his right hand, and raised an index finger;

  The auctioneer immediately said: “No. 8 Cheung Kong Real Estate will increase the price by 10 million and bid 240 million Hong Kong dollars!”

  The three consortiums that are still competing, suddenly their faces are stiff, too cruel!

  Cheung Kong Real Estate’s price increase is not three to five million Hong Kong dollars, or 10 million Hong Kong dollars, which is simply despising everyone!

  The rest of the consortiums that gave up competition began to appreciate this regular scene, and their faces were a lot more relaxed.

The face of the person in charge of the Mobil Consortium is unpredictable. Will Mobil follow?

  Mobil came to Hong Kong Island as early as the 19th century and entered the oil field on Hong Kong Island;

  In 1965, Hong Kong Island Mobil Corporation and a real estate developer and a builder in the United States formed a real estate company to develop a large-scale housing estate—Mei Foo New Village;

  The Mei Foo Sun Chuen area is located on the banks of the beautiful Lai Chi Kok Bay in West Kowloon. It was originally a large-scale Mei Foo oil depot;

  Mei Foo New Village has a land area of ​​300,000 square feet, and a large housing estate with 13,000 units will be built;

  The Yankee's heart is very dark, the built houses are densely packed, and there is no sunshine at all!

  The person in charge of the Mobil consortium was cruel and raised a placard for an increase of 1 million Hong Kong dollars.

   "No. 6 Mobil Real Estate increased the price by 1 million Hong Kong dollars, and the bid was 241 million Hong Kong dollars!" The auctioneer's tone was obviously lower.

  Wu Guangyao raised his right hand again, still an index finger!

   "No. 8 Cheung Kong Real Estate will increase the price by 10 million Hong Kong dollars, and the bid will be 251 million Hong Kong dollars!" The auctioneer's high tone came out again!

  Of course, it’s not that the auctioneer deliberately did this, but that he was a little excited involuntarily!

  The excitement is more than the auctioneer, except for the few consortiums that are still bidding, the rest are all excited!

  Perhaps the reporters who came in are already excited on their faces, which can be seen.

  Quiet, too much relief!

  This is the idea of ​​all Chinese!

  Chinese-funded enterprises are booming Chinese people's morale!

  It can be said that in the end, the Mobil Consortium, Sanhe Consortium, and Jardine Matheson are all hopeless.

  Everyone is just praising the price to their own price, so that Wu Guangyao can pay more!

  "Changshi Real Estate, bid 275 million Hong Kong dollars!"

   "275 million. The second time!"

  "275 million. The third time, the deal!"

  With the hammer drop of the auctioneer, Wu Guangyao’s personal real estate company reaped a piece of "land king".

   Wu Guangyao intends to develop this land into three high-rise buildings, mainly for renting;

  The land is erected in the north-south direction, so there can only be one tall building on the side of Salisbury Road, and the other two buildings do not rely on Salisbury Road;

  The tall building on Salisbury Road must be a department store to earn tourists’ money.

  When Wu Guangyao walked out of the auction room, a group of reporters gathered together, waiting for Wu Guangyao to be interviewed again!

   "Mr. Wu, your presentation today is so wonderful. Every time you raise your hand for a price of not 5 million Hong Kong dollars, or 10 million Hong Kong dollars, it is simply the ‘great finger at the auction’,” a Chinese reporter said excitedly.

Wu Guangyao said politely: "It's too good! Actually, I also called 3 million Hong Kong dollars, but I found that this kind of name will soon be submerged in a large number of consortia, and there will not be much waves. Everyone is too I have money; so I simply bid 5 million Hong Kong dollars, and in the end I cruelly bid 10 million Hong Kong dollars."

  A group of reporters burst into laughter. The Chinese leader is really bold and funny!

  A young reporter asked: "Mr. Wu, but this name will cost you millions?"

Wu Guangyao did not make fun of his ignorance, but patiently explained: "Otherwise, the more I am like this, the less the confidence of the consortium will be, so it will reduce the price. Of course, the value of this piece of land is unlimited. , You only see the present, but I see the future; therefore, I don’t care about the millions lost!"

  The next day, the newspapers on Hong Kong Island basically reported on the Chinese-owned enterprises represented by Wu Guangyao. They fought the American, British, French, and Japanese capitals alone, and won the final victory!

  And the reputation of "Auction's Great Finger", everyone has also used it to express the fierce situation at the auction in turn!

   "It's amazing! Mr. Wu Guangyao is indeed the richest man in the world, the richest man in the world, and the leader of the Chinese on Hong Kong Island!" A citizen exclaimed excitedly as if he was on the scene at that time.

  "How do I feel that the shark's bravery has been slaughtered by the British?" An untimely voice came out.

"You slaughtered a fortune? The room is still skyrocketing. You actually think that the land king in Kowloon is not worth 275 million Hong Kong dollars? If I have money, let alone 275 million Hong Kong dollars, even 300 million Hong Kong dollars have to be won!" a citizen retorted. .

  The citizens talked a lot, and the general public opinion of the major event is that Wu Guangyao's upsurge in the Chinese community on Hong Kong Island.

  At this time, there were a lot of discussions inside the Hong Kong government!

   "It seems that the possibility of British capital obtaining such high-quality land in the future is very low!" said an official.

   "Can't say that, our government sells land based on the principle of selling it at a high price! The reason why this ‘king of land’ is being auctioned at this time is to boost the economy of Hong Kong Island." An official responded.

   "The reason is this. I just lament Wu Guangyao's economic strength. He can fight against the entire British capital!"

  "He is not alone. HSBC Bank is afraid to stand firmly on his side, as well as Wheelock and Hutchison Bank, all of which have cooperated with him."

   "Speaking of HSBC, did you know! Global Group brought HSBC a year's dividends of 220 million US dollars."

  "How can I not know! This is spreading. HSBC's annual profit is only 210 million Hong Kong dollars, and the global group's dividend is seven times that."

   "I am a shareholder of HSBC Bank, haha!"

  Wu Guangyao’s "Sky One Finger" at the auction house set off a storm on Hong Kong Island, which can be said to be a megatron;

  Next, the Hong Kong government still has a lot of land to be auctioned. Wu Guangyao will pass the careful selection before deciding whether to participate or not;

  Wu Guangyao predicts that his own participation in the subsequent land auctions will not be high;

  Five plots of land auctions, may also participate in one or two auctions, and will not try their best;

  I am now, I just want the "King of the Land"!

  Although I know that land prices on Hong Kong Island will skyrocket and I have enough funds, I have to give others some opportunities!

  Foreign companies investing in real estate is also an investment. As a Chinese leader on Hong Kong Island, Wu Guangyao also needs to consider the development of Hong Kong Island and must not turn away those foreign investors.

  A very simple truth. In the past, Dragon Airlines and Cathay Pacific had fought against each other. As a result, the mainland helped Cathay Pacific instead. Why?

  The sale of part of Cathay Pacific’s shares is one reason, and more importantly, the mainland hopes that these foreign companies will stay on Hong Kong Island;

  The economic development of Hong Kong Island is inseparable from these investors;

   Suddenly all retreat, the economic impact on Hong Kong Island is devastating.

  In the 1980s, the Chinese families headed by Li Chaoren, including Li Zhaoji and Zheng Yutong, even formed a consortium to initiate the acquisition of the land company.

  Finally gave up. One of the reasons is that it is afraid of causing a complete break between Chinese and British capital, and then all British capital will withdraw from Hong Kong Island;

  So, as a consortium developing on Hong Kong Island, would you like to see the economic slump on Hong Kong Island? Would you like to make the world feel exclusive here?

   is obviously unwilling!

  In general, British capital has a great effect on the development of Hong Kong Island!

   Therefore, Wu Guangyao decided that in addition to important projects, he would grab it;

  Other items, I will not eat alone!

  For the economy of Hong Kong Island, these British capital must also stay on Hong Kong Island.

  If you don’t even have this vision, you just know that blindly killing British capital, I am afraid that the economy of Hong Kong Island will also be greatly affected;

  The value of so many properties will be greatly reduced!

   Isn’t there a catch phrase!

  ‘Let you play by yourself! ’

  If Hong Kong Island really only has Chinese capital, then it really should be said!
