Chapter 466: new visitor

ps: I haven't corrected the typo, you can read it later!

Five or six years ago, Li Ke was just a gangster watching the scene in an underground cinema on the corner of the street, but now he has become a wealthy shopping mall tycoon. Star Optoelectronics, which is preparing to go public, has a valuation of at least two or three billion. Family Fun Pictures, which makes an average of ten movies a year, can be worth at least tens of millions.

There is also Kunpeng Real Estate Company. Although Li Xuan said that he was dragged down by him, Li Ke himself understood that the luxury houses that he bought at bargain prices in the past two years have now increased by more than 100 million yuan. Naturally, it is impossible for him to have so much money to buy a lot of houses. The money was borrowed from Jiahua Bank and Standard Chartered Bank with the guarantee of Li Xuan.

Li Ke never felt that his younger brother owed him anything. If he was not Li Xuan's older brother, it would be impossible for him to get to where he is now. The current Li Ke is no longer Wuxia Amon. These years of experience have made him understand that Shang Hai is ruthless.

Of course, Li Xuan doesn't see it that way. In an action like the acquisition of Landmark, he is willing to bring the family behind his friends like Xu Jinkui and Lin Yuhao to share a piece of the pie, not to mention his own brother!

With the strength of the Oriental Group, Li Xuan is fully capable of owning Landmark by himself. No one doubts this! As the largest real estate group in Hong Kong, after receiving the financial support from the world's richest man, Hongkong Land will be almost invincible in the real estate industry in Hong Kong = existence!

But Li Xuan not only did not eat alone, but instead did a live Lei Feng, leaving the most plump part of Landmark to the other four. Of course, Li Xuan contributed the most, and he actually got the most rights.

But in the eyes of everyone, it is not so. For example, the China Construction Group of Xu Shixun's family, after acquiring the five buildings in Central. Suddenly became the king of the Central. After Guo Henian's Carrie Group acquired the Mandarin Oriental Hotel Company, it jumped to become the largest high-end hotel group in Asia.

Most of the rights and interests Li Xuan gets are stocks, which will not threaten the other four's control over the new company. Li Xuan's approach, in the eyes of other bigwigs in Hong Kong, is no different from giving the Landmark to others for free!

Is "God of Wealth Li" a living Lei Feng? Of course not, smart people can naturally roughly estimate the benefits Li Xuan gained from this action. It can only be said that he is not interested in the real estate industry! Other real estate bosses in Hong Kong, while relieved, also sighed that such a good thing did not hit their heads!

After Li Xuan gave up the readily available Landmark, at least other real estate bosses in Hong Kong were convinced that Li Xuan was really not ready to enter the real estate industry to fight for food! Therefore, he no longer needs to restrict his elder brother's Kunpeng property.

Although the boss of Kunpeng Real Estate was Li Ke in the past, as long as there is trouble, everyone can't help but think that Li, the God of Wealth, is behind it. But now, no one thinks that way anymore.

"These assets are not all for you, there is also a share of Xiaomei! You are not qualified to refuse on behalf of Xiaomei!" Li Xuan smiled at his elder brother again.

Li Xuan from the beginning of his business. I never thought of developing the Oriental Group into a family business. Therefore, after he closed Keji Electronics Company, which made pirated arcade machines, he did not let his eldest brother Li Ke join the newly established Dongfang Electronics Company, but always supported him to start his own business.

"Anyway, I won't want it, you can just transfer my share to the younger sister's name!" Li Ke still didn't agree.

"These assets are larger than Kunpeng Real Estate's scale. If they are all classified under Xiaomei's name, then Xiaomei's equity in Kunpeng Real Estate must be more than your founder! You are A Ying's big brother. Naturally not Question, but can my sister-in-law figure it out? The development potential of Kunpeng after buying a property. It is likely to be higher than your other two companies!

And the younger sister is now studying in the United States, so naturally it is impossible to come back and take over Kunpeng's property right now! At that time, you worked hard to develop the company, but in the end, you did not pass it on to your children, but let the little aunt A Ying pick the fruit of victory! I don't want to see aunts and sisters fighting for production in the future because of this asset! "Li Xuan said irrefutably.

Li Xuan heard from his mother that the elder brother was talking about business. I fell in love with a female accountant at PricewaterhouseCoopers. And Li Ke doesn't seem to be just having fun this time, but is really ready to settle down and start a family.

Although Li Ke hadn't officially brought the future sister-in-law home to introduce it to everyone, the rumors could reach Li Xuan's mother, and his eldest brother didn't deny it. Li Xuan can also guess that this future sister-in-law still has some means.

Li Ke heard what his brother said, and immediately wanted to refute. But under the direct gaze of Li Xuan, he didn't dare to speak to death for a while. After all, the drama of rich and powerful families competing for property has been staged a lot in Hong Kong.

"You also know that these assets are nothing in my eyes. Of course, there won't be such a chance in the future, so your next biggest task is to manage Kunpeng Real Estate well, which is the biggest explanation to me. Yes!" Li Xuan said aloud.

The assets he intends to transfer to his eldest brother and sister include a 45,000-square-foot land in the most prime location in the Central District, as well as two high-end office buildings, a podium that can be demolished and developed into an office building in the future, with a total value of more than 3 billion Dollar.

Of course, some people may ask, this piece of land and property is not much in the total assets of Hongkong Land, it is already worth 3 billion Hong Kong dollars, so the total value of Hongkong Land is not only 16 billion Hong Kong dollars! Landmark's total assets are naturally much higher than this figure, but its liabilities are equally high.

In 1983, Hongkong Land's debt ratio once reached 60%, becoming the largest debt company in Hong Kong, and was dubbed "the debt king" by public opinion. Although Landmark's debt level has improved over the past two years, it remains at around 50%.

That is to say, the total assets of Hongkong Land are actually more than 30 billion Hong Kong dollars, but it also bears more than 15 billion Hong Kong dollars in debt. The financial cost that Hongkong Land has to pay for these debts is more than 1 billion Hong Kong dollars every year, which is also the most important reason for the greatly discounted valuation of Hongkong Land.

The assets that Li Xuan intends to transfer to Kunpeng Properties do not contain any debt. 3 billion Hong Kong dollars is not a small sum for Li Xuan. This chance of pie in the sky is only once. Li Xuan is unlikely to give such a generous gift to his relatives in the future!

At the insistence of Li Xuan. Li Ke finally signed the asset transfer agreement. After Kunpeng Real Estate merged with the assets donated by Li Xuan, it has actually been promoted to a medium-sized real estate company in Hong Kong all at once.

These assets given by Li Xuan have also been selected. The two office buildings can provide stable cash flow for Kunpeng Real Estate. In particular, the largest tenant of Gloucester Tower, Oriental Group, is about to move into the newly completed Oriental Building. After Kunpeng Real Estate takes over, it can take back a large number of floors for re-leasing.

Hong Kong's economy has been picking up across the board since last year, especially after the depreciation of the US dollar. The Hong Kong dollar, whose exchange rate is fixed against the US dollar, also depreciated at the same time, which greatly boosted Hong Kong's industrial exports. Therefore, the vacancy rate of office buildings in Hong Kong has dropped from 20% in 1983 to about 5% now. Grade A office buildings in Central are in short supply, and rents have risen by 30% in the past six months.

The remaining piece of land next to the Exchange Square can be used by Kunpeng Real Estate as the next flagship development project. In this top location in Hong Kong, building an iconic skyscraper is enough to make Kunpeng Real Estate famous in one fell swoop.

What's more, the other four shareholders of Li Xiangjiang Holdings have followed Li Xuan and gained a lot of benefits from Landmark. But I owe Li Xuan a lot of favor. And Li Xuan himself was not going to set foot in the real estate industry, so this incense love was naturally passed on to his brother Li Ke's real estate company.

Kunpeng Real Estate can reach a cooperative relationship with Xu's China Construction Group, Lin's Lin's Group, and Guo Henian's Jiali Group, so as to more calmly participate in the competition of Hong Kong's real estate industry! Li Xuan can be said to have laid the foundation for the next step of Kunpeng Real Estate's take-off, and it will depend on how his eldest brother manages it in the future!

On April 1st, April Fool's Day, the Oriental Building, located at 83 Des Voeux Road Central, was completed and opened on this day! The Oriental Building is 128 meters high and has a total of 32 floors. Among them, there are 30 floors above ground and 2 floors underground.

The first floor of the Oriental Building is the reception hall. The second floor is a Chinese restaurant, the third floor is a western restaurant, and the fourth floor is a gym and entertainment lounge. After a layer of fire insulation is removed, the actual area that can be used for office is 25 floors. However, the Oriental Building is not ready to be rented from the outside, but will be used entirely for internal use.

Now the Eastern Group has expanded in order to. A large group comprising a dozen independent subsidiaries. The headquarters of the Oriental Group occupies the office space on the third and fourth floors. For example, Dongfang Commercial, Jiahua Bank, etc., these subsidiaries headquartered in Hong Kong, each occupy the office space on the second and third floors.

Although the headquarters of Aikang Computer and CG Company (Computer Park) are not located in Hong Kong, they are at least their Asian headquarters here. Or important production and research and development bases, so there are also a large number of office staff.

So in fact, the civilian department in the Oriental Group has already filled the Oriental Building. For companies focusing on R&D, such as Oriental Research Institute and Oriental Game Company, a large number of R&D personnel have already been transferred to the Oriental Experimental Building in Shatin. Now along the Tai Po Road, across the road from the Chinese University of Hong Kong, the Oriental Group has purchased land from the Hong Kong government and has built four scientific research buildings with more than ten floors.

The opening of the Dongfang Building was chosen on April 1st. In fact, it has nothing to do with April Fool's Day, but an auspicious zodiac day specially selected by the highly respected Feng Shui master invited by the company according to the lunar calendar. Hong Kong people believe in feng shui. Even a British company like HSBC specially invited a feng shui master to participate in the layout planning when building its headquarters building.

Later, after the completion of the Bank of China Tower, a feng shui war broke out between the two sides. In order to stand firm, the Bank of China Building designed the upper part of the building into a triangle shape, and one of the sharp corners on one side was like a sharp sword, slashing directly at HSBC Bank not far away. In order to deal with the evil spirit formed by the Bank of China Building, the HSBC Building deliberately erected two cannons on the top of the building facing the Bank of China, using cannons against swords.

Although Li Xuan is not superstitious, but he also chooses to do as the locals do! The decoration and layout of the reception hall on the ground floor is said to be integrated into the feng shui formation of gathering wealth.

The opening ceremony of the Oriental Building was very grand. The Governor of Hong Kong, Youde, presided over the opening ceremony, and almost all the tycoons of Hong Kong business circles came to join in. As Li Xuan expected, the Thunder Action of the acquisition of the land acquisition company has greatly improved his status in Hong Kong.

For example, last week, the foundation under Li Xuan's name organized a charity auction with the Tung Wah Group of Hospitals. The foundation just politely sent invitations to some wealthy families in Hong Kong, but it did not expect to receive a very high-level response.

Including Li Jiacheng, Zheng Yutong and many other wealthy people in Hong Kong, not only sent valuable auction items, but also attended the charity auction in person. So that Li Xuan, who had not planned to attend the auction, had to temporarily accept these VIPs with his wife Zhong Chuhong.

The total amount of donations raised in this charity auction exceeded 10 million Hong Kong dollars in one fell swoop. The reason why Li Jiacheng and others are willing to buy face like this is naturally to release their goodwill to Li Xuan.

Li Xuan used the acquisition of Landmark to show his muscles to the whole of Hong Kong~www.readwn.com~ If he is not ready to enter the real estate industry, he has no natural opposition to these real estate tycoons, and everyone is naturally willing to work with him Be nice!

After the opening ceremony of the Oriental Building, the Oriental Group held a grand thank-you reception at the Mandarin Oriental Hotel.

"Li Sheng, I have a few friends. I want to meet and talk with you!" There was a white man standing beside Li Xuan, who was communicating with him.

He is the fourth-generation head of the Shi Huai Ya family, whose Chinese name is Shi John. The Swire Group controlled by the Shi Huai Ya family, together with the Jardine Group, is known as one of the four major British-funded consortia. After Li Xuan acquired Landmark in his previous life, including the Shi Huai Ya family and the Kadoorie family, these two British giants, which are as famous as the Keswick family in Hong Kong, have begun to increase their holdings in Swire Group, Chunghwa Electric Power and Grand Shanghai Hotel respectively. Shares in companies and other family businesses in order to protect themselves.

Li Xuan looked in the direction of John Shi's gaze. There were also two well-dressed white men not far away. They raised their wine glasses and greeted Li Xuan as a gentleman.

Li Xuan doesn't know these two people, it seems that they are not people in the local upper circle in Hong Kong, and since the other party came to the door through the Shi Huai Ya family who is not familiar with him, Li Xuan can't help but be a little curious! (To be continued...)
