I Want To Be a Rich Man on Hong Kong Island

  Chapter 658 [Auction 2] (5200 words!)

  Wu Xianshuo sat quietly in the back row, watching a group of big guys pointing the country, there was no fluctuation in his heart;

  And other people occasionally glanced at Wu Xianshuo's side, and immediately lost interest;

  It turned out that Wu Xianshuo was dressed casually and also wore a hat, which made people think that he was a representative of a soy sauce company.

  Affected by the launch of the new airport by the Hong Kong government, Hong Kong’s real estate and securities have once again added fuel to the fire and become prosperous;

  This time, the Hong Kong government put out a lot of beautiful land for auction, the purpose is to take advantage of the booming market to increase the government's fiscal revenue.

  At 2:15 pm, the auction officially begins!

  The Central Land King will naturally be the finale, and it will be put in the final auction;

First of all, the auction was a 55,000-square-foot commercial land located in East Tsim Sha Tsui. The Hong Kong government requested the construction of a commercial building with an area of ​​250,000 square feet. The overall plan;

  The shopping mall must be held by the auctioneer for at least 10 years before it can be sold.

  When the land is auctioned, the Hong Kong government will impose restrictions on some commercial real estate, such as self-holding ratio, floor area ratio, construction time, etc.;

  This is also to prevent some real estate companies from making quick money and ignoring the planning and quality issues of the Hong Kong government.

  However, holding some properties is not a problem for many real estate companies now;

Although the location of Tsim Sha Tsui East is not comparable to Central, it is also one of the most prosperous commercial centers in Hong Kong, and it is also a tourist area in Hong Kong.

  The Hong Kong government took out this piece of land as the first shot, also to stimulate the battlefield;

  This piece of land has a certain appeal even for Land Land and the four major real estate families!

  The first auction started. What is surprising is that Cheung Kong Holdings made frequent bids, which made all the participants in the auction nervous;

  The dominance of Cheung Kong Industrial was once reflected on the auction floor, and most of the land in an auction fell into the hands of his family.

   Therefore, the joining of Cheung Kong now has aroused the enthusiasm of several companies;

  Because if the land in front cannot be grabbed, the land in the back will be more difficult;

  So, it's better to set the goal on promising land from the beginning.

  After several rounds of bidding, Yangtze River Holdings voluntarily gave up, and the eyes of the Big Three deliberately exchanged;

  Obviously, this is also an ex-ante strategy-to consume some people's funds, just as other real estate companies would also want to consume Cheung Kong's funds.

  After the abandonment of Cheung Kong, the main competitors include Xinhe Real Estate, Henderson Land Development, and Hang Lung Real Estate;

  Among them, Xinhe Real Estate was originally the “second child” in the East of Tsim Sha Tsui, and naturally refused to give up this land in East of Tsim Sha;

  In the original history, Xinhe was the absolute “handling” of Jiandong. In the auction in 1975, a large number of land in Jiandong was taken;

  A large number of commercial buildings such as Tsim Sha Tsui Center, Nanyang Center, Wing On Plaza, and Empire Center are built behind;

  In this life, the four most beautiful plots of land in the east of Jianshe were taken by Cheung Kong Industrial in 1975;

  As a result, they worked with the Bao family to build two hotels and two commercial buildings.

  Henderson Land has just gone public and has a lot of pumping funds on hand;

  With Lee Shau Kee’s business acumen, it must be the fastest time to purchase land;

  Among the four major families, Li Zhaoji’s keen observation of the market is definitely ranked first;

  When the market is at its peak, he will choose to list the company and cash out his shares;

   can also predict upcoming risks, such as the Sino-British negotiations in 1982 and the plunge in 1987;

  In his previous life, the reason why Lee Shau-ki lost to Li Ka-shing was mainly because of a point of view, which was that he did not take people away from the company and did not like the stock market to pump water;

In the history of Li Zhaoji’s commercial warfare, there is no such thing as tearing the other side apart once he dominates the hegemony. He has always been a teacher of benevolence and righteousness, occupying territories, changing dynasties, and never cutting one. Soldiers.

  Of course, Zheng Yutong and Lee Shau Kee’s styles are almost similar!

  The land in the East of Tsim Sha Tsui was eventually taken by Henderson Land Development;

  Perhaps, everyone knows that Henderson Land has just gone public and has a lot of funds in hand;

  Of course, the unit price of 15,000 Hong Kong dollars per square foot is enough to make people astounding;

  Only this piece of land cost Henderson Land Development Co., Ltd. 825 million Hong Kong dollars;

  Even if Henderson Land has just completed the stock market pumping, it is not enough to pay the funds;

  Of course, every real estate company here has reached an agreement with the bank to determine the loan amount before the auction.

   is just a piece of land on the Kowloon Peninsula, and the price is almost on the same level as the price of the next generation of the land king of the mainland in 2019;

  At this moment, the price in Central is at least twice that of this piece of land, which shows that the real estate in Hong Kong has reached a staggering level.

  If you say it is a real estate bubble, you are very wrong!

  Previous life, the real estate plummet caused by Sino-British negotiations in 1982 is not actually a real estate bubble;

  Residential/commercial properties fell by only about 30%, and land plots fell by 40% to 60%;

  Industrial buildings fell the most, reaching more than 70%;

  Among them, the property price fell by only about 30%, which shows that this is indeed not a real estate bubble;

  Notice that, in terms of residential properties, 220 Hong Kong dollars per square foot per square foot in 1974, which had risen to about 1,200 square feet in 1981;

  So even if it fell by 30%, there would still be 800 Hong Kong dollars per square foot.

  It has increased four times in 10 years, which is also very powerful. Moreover, once the Sino-British negotiations are over, the real estate will be restored immediately.

Then quickly started the second piece of land. This is a piece of land in Tseung Kwan O. The location is not good, but the area is large enough to be 200,000 square feet. According to the requirements of the Hong Kong government, 1.2 million square feet of buildings can be built. A large residential area, this piece of land was eventually sold for 720 million Hong Kong dollars.

The real estate industry has just shown its upward sluggishness, showing a downward trend. Although many experts and real estate companies think it is the self-adjustment of the market, the Hong Kong government is very anxious. In order to let the market regain confidence in housing prices, this time Either the location is excellent or the area is large enough, countless real estate companies are jealous.

  At present, the three most important economic systems in Hong Kong are the real estate industry, the financial industry, and the last industry;

  Although the Wu family has increased Hong Kong’s industry by more than 50% of the previous life, the more money you have, the more you need property;

  In addition to the small land and large population in Hong Kong, real estate speculation is even worse than in previous lives.

  30% of the Hong Kong government’s fiscal revenue is closely related to real estate;

  So, when house prices fall, the most anxious thing is the government, then the bank, then the real estate business, and finally the people who have bought the house.

  In order to stimulate housing prices to continue to rise, the Hong Kong government has also taken great pains!

Soon, a few more plots of land were sold. The atmosphere on the spot was stimulated by the transaction price of 100 million yuan. The real estate industry is not afraid of high land prices. The more they rise, the better. More real estate companies will join in. Part of this gluttonous feast.

During the    period, some real estate developers knew about the two final plots behind, and they had absolutely no hope;

  So I concentrated on grabbing the land ahead, which made the auctioneer and the Hong Kong government overjoyed.

  Sure enough, Mr. Wu Guangyao is everyone’s gospel. As long as his company participates in the auction, it will definitely drive the passion of the entire auction;

  There have been several cases in the past few years that Cheung Kong did not participate in the auction. At that time, it was obvious that everyone was not passionate enough.

  The auction of the penultimate piece of land finally started, and everyone’s expressions became excited;

  Today, the Hong Kong government can be said to have taken out a double finale, one is Silver Line Bay, and the other is the King of Land in Central;

  The land of Silver Line Bay is 2 million square feet, but the Hong Kong government there is planning high-end villas and high-end housing, and there will be no high-rise buildings;

  For example, Baibi Mountain, which was taken down by Land Land some time ago, is expected to reach more than 2 billion on this piece of land in Silver Line Bay.

  Sure enough, as soon as the auction started, Cheung Kong Holdings actively raised its placards;

  Seeing that Cheung Kong Holdings is like this, many real estate companies have started to follow the auction, just like Cheung Kong's "spoiler" before.

  However, after raising 2 billion Hong Kong dollars, everyone began to be cautious;

  Li Nan and others deliberately made hesitations on their faces, and several companies that followed them began to be cautious;

  This piece of land is 2 billion Hong Kong dollars, which seems a bit expensive!

  In the end, Li Nan and others won the land for 2.3 billion Hong Kong dollars, and the whole audience stood up and applauded for Cheung Kong Industrial;

  This is really true. As real estate developers, everyone likes the hot auction site. This will give a strong signal to the outside—that is, the real estate is showing a hot scene, and everyone can buy a property with confidence;

  This is beneficial to all real estate developers!

  At this time, the consortium that can truly compete for the last "Central Land King" is expected to have four more;

  Respectively, Cheung Kong Holdings, Land Corporation, the consortium of the four major families, and the Japanese consortium. The other three consortia saw that Cheung Kong Holdings spent HK$2.3 billion to win a piece of land, and they were secretly happy!

  Because this consumes the strength of Cheung Kong Holdings, it allows everyone to have a greater grasp of the "Central Land King".

  Changjiang Industrial is a listed company, it is impossible to invest at will, regardless of the actual situation of the company;

  If Wu Guangyao is here today, I am afraid that everyone will not have hope;

  After all, Wu Guangyao can completely auction this piece of land on behalf of an individual, so who has grabbed it?

   Even if the American consortium comes, it can only be defeated!

"The land to be auctioned next, I believe everyone knows! Yes, it is the bus terminal land known as the'Central Land King'; it is 148,000 square feet and is the largest land granted in Central on the island in the past 40 years. , And it is the most beautiful coastal area; it can be said that whoever takes this piece of land, he is the'uncrowned king' in Central."

  The auctioneer is not too big to be a big deal, and his tone is passionate. Even Li Chaoren, who has always been as stable as an old dog, is full of hope at this time;

  The four big families looked at each other, and they all saw the desire in each other's eyes!

  Landland also exchanged their eyes, their faces full of determination.

  The Japanese consortium smiled bitterly when they saw this!

  Only three people, Li Nan, without any expression on their faces, leaving the auctioneers confused!

  Is this voluntarily giving up?

   "Now start bidding, the starting price is 3 billion Hong Kong dollars, and the price increase is not less than 10 million Hong Kong dollars each time." The auctioneer gave a hammer after he said it, which was regarded as a signal to start.

   "3.1 billion Hong Kong dollars!"

   "3.15 billion Hong Kong dollars!"

   is still a few cannon fodder eagerly bidding, they hope to miss!

  After the price reached 3.5 billion Hong Kong dollars, the cannon fodder died out;

   "3.6 billion Hong Kong dollars!" Bao Fuda of Landfill took the lead in taking the slogan, but he is obviously not cannon fodder. The increase of 100 million Hong Kong dollars is obviously a king.

   "3.7 billion Hong Kong dollars!" Li Chaoren also began to raise his placard, also raising the price by 100 million Hong Kong dollars, not to be outdone.

   "3.75 billion Hong Kong dollars!" The Japanese consortium bid for an increase of 50 million Hong Kong dollars, which is related to the shrewdness of the Japanese.

  "3.8 billion Hong Kong dollars!" What is surprising is that Cheung Kong's price increase is only 50 million Hong Kong dollars. Could it be that these young three people have not received too high authorization, as everyone thought.

  After two more rounds, the price reached 4.3 billion Hong Kong dollars, which is close to the previous life's 4.7 billion Hong Kong dollars!

  But everyone knows that the next is the most exciting and exciting moment;

  Everyone held their breath, their eyes staring back and forth on the four consortiums.

  "4.5 billion Hong Kong dollars!" This time, the land company directly increased the price by 200 million Hong Kong dollars, in order to force everyone to give up.

  Sure enough, the person in charge of the Japanese consortium shook his head and gave a wry smile. He must have given up the bidding;

  Everyone's eyes immediately turned to Cheung Kong, and Li Nan lived up to the expectations and shouted out ‘4.6 billion Hong Kong dollars! ’

  But everyone can see that the three of Li Nan seem to be lacking in confidence!

  Furthermore than Li Nan are the four big families. Li Chaoren then shouted ‘4.65 billion Hong Kong dollars! ’

  This made LANDMARK’s New Bijian and Bao Fuda overjoyed. Could it be that they can really grab food today?

  Is this dreaming?

   Could it be that the Wu family has invested too much in the past few years, and the funds have been strained?

  The two of them have made up for the situation of the Wu family, and almost forgot to raise the placard for a while. Fortunately, more than two people came from Land Company;

  At the reminder of his colleagues, Bao Fuda was also sober and hurriedly shouted: "4.7 billion Hong Kong dollars!"

  Since the other two companies have been discouraged, Landland does not need to increase it too much. After all, an increase of 10 million Hong Kong dollars each time is enough!

  The three Li Nan's faces were embarrassed. After the second hammer fell, they finally shouted'reluctantly' again: "4.72 billion Hong Kong dollars!"

  Li Chaoren looked at each other and then reluctantly shouted: "4.75 billion Hong Kong dollars!"

  Landland’s two people suddenly complained in their hearts. This group of Chinese, shouldn't they deliberately target LANDMARK?

  Intentionally raise the price by 20-30 million Hong Kong dollars, in order to allow Land to continue to participate in the bidding, and finally let Land Company pay more!

   "Huh, no matter how many hundreds of millions of Hong Kong dollars are added, as long as we take this piece of land, Jardine Matheson can even wash away the shame of losing the Wharf!" New Bijian thought.

  Bao Fuda was also ecstatic in his heart, and said in his heart: "Do you think that we will spend tens of millions of Hong Kong dollars, and we will feel heartache? We will tell you afterwards that we are thinking about spending hundreds of millions of Hong Kong dollars, and we have to win!"

   "4.8 billion Hong Kong dollars!" Bao Fuda generously raised 50 million Hong Kong dollars, which is already 100 million Hong Kong dollars in the previous life!

   "4.82 billion Hong Kong dollars!"

   "4.85 billion Hong Kong dollars!"

   "5 billion Hong Kong dollars!" Bao Fuda suppressed his anger and shouted in a deep voice.

  "This group of Chinese are too cruel! It cost Land Company 300 million Hong Kong dollars, which is not enough! It's too much!" Bao Fuda and Niu Bijian exchanged their eyes.

  Li Nan and others shook their heads, as if giving up!

  Nubijian and Bao Fuda were ecstatic, most of the bidders who made this expression would not continue to bid;

  Because there is no need to do this kind of action to make the opponent give up, this is too naive!

  As if being infected, the four big families also expressed their regrets!

   "God! The glory of Jardine Matheson, will finally bloom in my hands?" New Bijian was ecstatic.

  "I am the biggest hero of the Land Company, and I am the scavenger of Jardine's shame!" Bao Fuda thought with satisfaction.

  However, everyone did not expect;

  Even the people in the entire auction hall did not expect it!

  A young voice came from the last row: "5.2 billion Hong Kong dollars!"

   "Nani?"

   "Which kid is this?"

   "Security! Security!"

   "No, he has a number plate in his hand, indicating that he paid the deposit!"

   "Yes! He has a card in his hand, he won't be a troublemaker!"

  For a time, everyone looked back and looked at Wu Xianshuo!

  Wu Xianshuo raised his head, revealing the face that had been pressed by the hat!

   "It's him!" Some Chinese bosses said in surprise, remembering something in an instant, and their faces were wonderful!

  Landland also looked at Wu Xianshuo, but they didn’t recognize it. There was an expression on their faces that an adult wanted to train a child, but they didn’t act in the end because the auctioneer had already dropped the second hammer!

  "5.3 billion Hong Kong dollars!" Bao Fuda of Landland hurriedly shouted!

After    shouted out, the two people of Land and Land showed complex expressions. Suddenly they shouted from 5 billion Hong Kong dollars to 5.3 billion Hong Kong dollars. Both felt heartache, and even a trace of fear!

  Is the investment too large?

  Is this deal not worthwhile?

Without waiting for the two of them to continue thinking, Wu Xianshuo's voice sounded again: "5.5 billion Hong Kong dollars!"

  What, an increase of 200 million Hong Kong dollars?

  Landland's two people seemed to have been struck by lightning, and they dared not bid for a long time!

  "5.5 billion Hong Kong dollars for the second time!"

  Landland exchanged their eyes with each other, then looked at the four major consortiums and other Chinese real estate owners, and soon discovered the abnormality;

  Everyone's face definitely does not mean to despise this young man, but there is a way to treat people of the same level.

   "5.55 billion Hong Kong dollars!" LANDMARK Bao Fidelity cried out without confidence.

   "5.7 billion Hong Kong dollars!" Wu Xianshuo yelled calmly, but his tone was very energetic.

   "5.7 billion Hong Kong dollars for the first time!"

  "The third time for HK$5.7 billion, a deal! Congratulations"

  Wu Xianshuo smiled and said to everyone, "Thank you for your concession to the seniors!"

  For a time, everyone applauded Wu Xianshuo.

   "It really is a tiger father without a dog!"

"awesome!"

  Compliments from everyone are plentiful, this is a sincere blessing!

  Wu Xianshuo came to the front and said to the two of Niubijian and Landland: "Thank you for your acknowledgment. Let me introduce myself. My name is Wu Xianshuo and my father Wu Guangyao!"

  Land and Land are like lightning strikes, and then they suddenly realized!

   "This trick is what your father meant?" Bao Fuda said unconvincedly.

   "How can it be! It's all my own opinion, sorry, I didn't say hello to the seniors at first, mainly because I was a little nervous!" Wu Xianshuo said with his fists around.

   "It's serious! It's us old guys who like to chat around!" a real estate agent said in a friendly manner.

  In fact, the price of 5.7 billion Hong Kong dollars is 1 billion Hong Kong dollars higher than the previous life, which can be described as a hemorrhage!

But the actual situation is also different from the previous life: first, Hong Kong’s economy is more developed; second, the Hong Kong government has just released a new airport plan, which stimulates the city; third, the Wu family has become a target for everyone. Although everyone is very harmonious now, but in the auction, they are still very happy to shoot.

   Therefore, Wu Guangyao predicted beforehand that 7 billion Hong Kong dollars can be reached!

  If you encounter the Rothschild family supporting the land company, it is estimated that 8 billion Hong Kong dollars is also possible;

  Anyway, everyone knows that you, Wu Guangyao, are bound to win this piece of land. Why don’t you do something about it?

  In short, Wu Xianshuo's trick is indeed very useful!

  Afterwards, after Wu Guangyao heard about it, he laughed unscrupulously;

   said: "I knew it was so wonderful, I should put on makeup and sneak in and have a look!"
