Fan Liancheng, the vice president of the real estate group, is very powerful.

It can be seen from the collapse of A-shares that where the increase in the past two years has been too high, most of the housing prices and land prices have to be corrected.

It's no wonder that his vision is not long-term enough, and it is true that the market performance has begun to slump.

Otherwise, how could Zhongliang Company choose to be at this juncture, and proposed to sell the "second mansion in the magic capital" as a whole, but it has always been in the hands of the treasure, and it has been shouting to be listed for sale since three or four years ago, but it has never been taken out, and it is afraid that the price will be low.

Spring River Plumbing Duck Prophet.

The real estate cold wave may come, and it is also their group of real estate people who are the first to feel a hint of coolness.

This has only started to fall slightly, and there has been news of a company thunderstorm.

A medium-sized real estate enterprise in the south, with a total scale of about 3 billion, is now not even able to pay off more than 200 million short-term debts, and it is said that the engineering team has officially begun to evacuate because the loan has been rejected and there are too many debts, at least Fan Liancheng heard the news.

A month ago, I heard that I was planning to go public on the Hong Kong stock market, but as soon as the wind changed, there was a problem immediately.

No one in Longcheng mentioned the plan to acquire land for 10 billion yuan, and Fan Liancheng also stopped mentioning the construction of landmark high-rise buildings.

I was just about to approach a design firm to design a magnificent skyscraper, but I pressed the pause button due to economic fluctuations, and I planned to wait and see for a while.

Plans to acquire land to build office buildings have also been suspended, and materials are still being prepared, although the board of directors has passed a resolution to collect expenses.

There are countless examples of how to hold cash when a cold spell is just around the corner.

He had a relative of a secretary who wanted to buy a house.

Recently, when I heard that housing prices might fall, not only did I not buy them, but I also began to stop my colleagues, relatives and friends who wanted to buy a house, telling them that most of the housing prices would fall, and it would not be too late to wait for another year or two.

A real person, who was going to buy a house with a relationship, has been canceled.

Similar examples are everywhere, even Lao Feng said that the Millennium Riverside City project was taken early, otherwise the price could be pressed down again, not to mention that it could be repaid to 900 million, or even more than 800 million.

The money is all given, and there is no point in talking about it again.

In this way, the house in Repulse Bay, as well as the stocks of the US stocks, real estate, and the assets of the casino, can be regarded as cashing out at a high level, and they have earned more through investment, so they are not regretted.

As he said at the end of September, at the meeting of directors and executives, not only did he advise Longcheng Group to see the right time to buy the bottom, Fan Liancheng himself is also preparing, the market may be volatile in the short term, but the long-term optimistic idea has not been shaken by the slightly strange financial market performance in the past two weeks.

What should be understood is still understanding, but not ready to make a move in the short term.

Take the Pengli No. 1 project that was sent to his mouth as an example, the location and reputation are excellent, if you can wait for a more suitable price, in fact, you can gamble.

The house is on the sharp corner of Lujiazui, and the value can no longer be measured by the traditional average price of the surrounding area.

The offer of 4 billion yuan is a bit high, but you must know that if it is before June this year, even if the quotation is 4.5 billion or 5 billion, Zhongliang Group may not be willing to deal with it.

After dealing with the neighbor Tomson at the end of June, the profit outlook has declined, and now it has encountered a turning point in the real estate market, and the offer of 4 billion yuan is a bit too high.

Fan Liancheng asked Lao Feng to help keep an eye on it, hung up the phone and then lay down, closing his eyes and thinking about the next layout.

Someone just recommended him to short the Nikkei, but he didn't know much about the specific situation, and finally only dared to short the few mainland real estate giants listed on the Hong Kong stock market.

Some people recommended him to short the dollar, Fan Liancheng has not participated in the foreign exchange market, and he always thinks it is better to be careful.

There are already rumors in the United States that the Federal Reserve's federal funds rate is likely to be cut further, and the official financial institutions have also begun to contact major financial institutions to discuss how to save the deteriorating financial situation.

After thinking about it, I thought that the current investment direction was not bad, and finally felt a little relieved, got up to say hello to the supervisor Song Fuxiang, left the company and found a café to sit down, and checked the financial statements of Liancheng International since its establishment.

......

Night.

Take the time to eat with the company's employees.

said that they ate together, but in fact, the management and ordinary employees were separated, mainly because they were worried that they would be tied up and unable to enjoy themselves.

A Japanese restaurant with exquisite decoration.

Not long after Fan Liancheng took his seat, the female manager named Megan in English suddenly looked embarrassed, saying that a friend of mine must want to come to meet him, and asked if he could call him over for a meal.

After asking, she learned that her friend is mainly engaged in the business of the rich, that is, high-end real estate, yachts and planes, island antiques, etc., specializing in working for the rich, and belongs to the top buyers, so she agreed without much hesitation.

Fan Liancheng is not very interested in sushi, and he always feels that something is wrong with cold rice in his mouth, and it is okay to taste sashimi with some wasabi once in a while.

Drinking soju and chatting, after a while, she saw a beautiful woman in her early thirties, opened the sliding door and walked in with a smile, her eyes stayed directly on Fan Liancheng, enthusiastically stretched out her hand to greet one by one, and scattered a few business cards.

Pick a position close to Fan Liancheng and sit cross-legged, this tall woman named Cai Jiarong took a cup and poured wine, toasted everyone first, and then said calmly: "I'm really sorry, I disturbed everyone's party, I asked Sister Hui again and again last month, and when I see Young Master Fan, I must tell me, I saw it in the magazine and was already very handsome, but I didn't expect the real person to be more handsome than in the photo." ”

It's not wrong to visit rashly, but she is beautiful, and no one will be too disgusted, including Song Fuxiang, several people at the table are secretly looking at her.

Her English name is Megan, which is Sister Hui in Cai Jiarong's mouth, and she feels helpless at this time.

No way, who let it be a sister who has been playing for several years, otherwise she wouldn't have just met Fan Liancheng today, so she asked for permission for her business, after all, it was a company party, and it was not good to bring outsiders to participate.

Fan Liancheng really doesn't care.

In the past few years in the UK, he was hardly approached by anyone except to sell newspapers and magazines and training courses, and even his application for a credit card was rejected by a local London bank because of his student and expatriate status.

In the past few months, he has become famous, and many top buyers have contacted him, recommending a wide variety of products, including stolen oil paintings and stolen jewelry, and the prices are far lower than the reasonable prices in the market.

The sales departments of major private jet and yacht manufacturers have sent people to contact him one after another, and some people have even sent a brochure containing more than 70 islands, saying that if they want to visit any island, they can arrange for a private jet to pick him up at any time, and several auction houses also send magazines regularly.

Because of money, life can always be more colorful.

Fan Liancheng shook his head: "It's okay, please feel free to eat whatever you want, I heard that your business is very wide?"

"Well, there are not many people in my business in Las Vegas, and I have worked in the concierge department of Amex Company, and I have maintained business dealings with many companies, and I just bought a yacht for my second wife at the lowest price last month, and the private jet in Port City under the banner of Longji Real Estate is also handled from me, and I can talk about a more suitable price. ”

Cai Jiarong finished speaking with a smile, and drank a glass of soju with Fan Liancheng alone, the so-called Yuntong Company is the company that issues black gold centurion cards, and the concierge department is dedicated to serving the rich with cards, and the business covers all aspects.

Talking about this kind of topic, others can't interject, because it is rarely touched, and most people at the table are more interested and listen quietly.

"I rarely use black cards, and I should use them more in the future, otherwise I will waste the annual fee. How much does a 30-meter yacht cost, and what about a private jet?"

"If it's a yacht, I recommend St. Sicker, the 90 model yacht just meets your needs, and the price is about 6.6 million US dollars, depending on the configuration.

Private jet I recommend the Gulfstream G550, it is the best-selling high-end business jet on the market, can fly directly from the casino to New York, carrying eighteen passengers, the maximum range of more than 11,600 kilometers, the price is about 40 million US dollars, both the appearance and performance are very cool, it will be very convenient to go to the mainland through the Golden Deer Business Aviation, I can arrange for you to visit the experience at any time. ”

"I plan to go back to the magic capital the morning after tomorrow, let me experience the G550 first, I will pay the cost myself, just help me arrange it, if there is a yacht you said in the casino, take me to visit it." Let me tell you in advance, I have been investing most of my money lately, and I may not buy it in the short term, but if you can get the lowest price, I will consider buying it from you. ”

The two products she said are indeed very mainstream, and Fan Liancheng knows it.

The personality is quite straightforward, the fat dragon didn't say to buy it, ate the salmon, and then asked: "If I buy these, is it more economical to be attached to the casino, some time ago I bought a car, the price of more than one million US dollars, because of various taxes, the starting price has tripled." ”

"Of course, it is more economical to be attached here, but it depends on how to avoid taxes, I will first send someone to calculate the tax in the mainland, so that you can analyze it, okay?"

Song Fuxiang waved his hand and said: "Don't bother, our accountant has calculated that you need to pay 6 percent of the aviation material tariff and 17 percent of the value-added tax to buy in the mainland, and the import link tax and value-added tax account for about 23 percent of the total price of the aircraft. ”

Fan Liancheng had mentioned this matter to Director Song, and it seemed that he had made some preparations in advance.

Whether it's real estate, art, or luxury goods, the expenses of the rich are not necessarily what they really want, and many times they make decisions based on taxes, including immigration.

Cai Jiarong said with a smile: "Yes, the tax in the casino is lower, and it is very convenient to arrange custody, and I will help you deal with it when the time comes." Tell me the itinerary later, I will help you arrange a private jet, there is a Saint-Siker 90 yacht in the port city, I will contact its owner to see if I can drive here, if nothing else, I should be able to take you on board tomorrow morning to visit......"

After eating, go back to the hotel.

Come to the room to drink saliva, go out again, open the safe and go to the casino downstairs with the chips.

The whole old Lisboa is like a big birdcage, both inside and outside are exquisite, according to Song Fuxiang's words, that is, "killing machines are everywhere", "cutting wealth and absorbing money", and the image of losing among gamblers.

In the early years, there was no place to choose, so I could only come to the Lisboa Casino, but after the reopening of gambling in 2001, with Wynn, Venetian, MGM, etc., the Lisboa was no longer in full swing.

The shares were all sold away, and Fan Liancheng listened to it as a story.

A casino supervisor invited him to play in other gambling halls, but Fan Liancheng politely refused on the grounds that he had drunk too much, so he casually found a table to play blackjack, throwing a chip at each hand, winning and losing, and gambling happily.

The chips given by the casino, the cheeks were not thick enough to exchange them for money, put them in their pockets, and they pressed all the time when they were young, and the remaining 40,000 yuan were lost and left, and went back to the room to sleep.

In fact, during the game of cards, women kept talking to him, and some people recognized Fan Liancheng and took the initiative to talk, but unfortunately they all hit a wall one after another in front of him.

Be more cautious when you go out.

The beautiful girl has seen a lot, she has grown up in the pile of money since she was a child, and she wants to make Fan Liancheng unable to control it, whether it is a woman or a gambling table, it is a little worse.

For others, winning tens or millions may be so ecstatic that they can't sleep all night, and their lives are completely changed. And against Fan Liancheng, even if he wins 100 million yuan...... So what?

What's more, the probability of losing money is significantly greater.

Thinking about it like this, you can understand why he is so calm.

The people in the casino didn't keep him, and Song Fuxiang didn't dare to stay, and after hearing that he didn't go out tonight, they dispersed.

As soon as he finished taking a shower, Fan Liancheng received a phone call asking him if he wanted to arrange a girl, which was absolutely superb.

Listening to the soft voice on the phone, the little heart was pounding, and I thought about it after refusing for a long time......

Early the next morning, after meeting with Cai Jiarong, I rushed to the pier to visit the yacht.

She was wearing casual clothes, similar to a women's golf suit, and personally arranged for two Mercedes-Benz S-class to come to pick up people, and Cai Jiarong herself drove a convertible version of the Phantom, taking Fan Liancheng to drive between the two Mercedes-Benzes.

After getting in the car, he told Fan Liancheng: "I forgot to mention it, the Shengxik in the port city is under maintenance, and it hit the dock before." Today I will first take you to see the British-made princess yacht, which is 95 feet 3 inches long, equal to 29.3 meters, and has just been launched for a few months, which is about the same grade as the St. Sicker, and the price is slightly more affordable.

There was also an Amouz parked on the pier, slightly larger than the princess's yacht, with a total length of 100 feet, more than 30 meters, and it was also a new yacht that had just been launched, owned by the son of the third aunt, I had said hello in advance, and we would board the ship for a visit later. In addition, there is a Dawn yacht of nearly 50 meters, launched ten years ago, just renovated, is on sale, you can refer to it, I have brought a brochure, the size is more than 90 feet, if you want to be bigger, you can also customize it, the price will not be too high......"
