Chapter 144: Breathe

The staff of Las Vegas was entrusted to help find the information of Banyan Tree Holdings, and the results obtained made Fan Liancheng feel a little cold.

At present, the total market value is only more than 100 million Singapore dollars, which is only more than 600 million yuan when converted into RMB, and the total value is not as good as a building on the riverside.

It is similar to the reason why the total market value of Tomson Group is not high.

Dragged down by the debt ratio and poor revenue situation, the scale of the industry is not bad, which makes Fan Liancheng begin to doubt whether investing in resorts can earn considerable returns.

He told Wu Anyun that if the profit is average, it is better to deposit it directly in the bank or trust, and there is not much risk.

Trusts in the mainland are generally state-owned, with guaranteed security and high returns, often achieving an annualized rate of 10% or more, with a minimum investment amount of about 1 million.

Without considering factors such as depreciation and inflation, this kind of income has been able to kill the vast majority of investments in the market.

Cooperation is based on Banyan Tree's brand and management model, and has little to do with market value. Fan Liancheng still feels that he should meet with their CEO Hou Ping, which does not prevent him from continuing to look for other partners, planning to set a new benchmark for luxury real estate, and the second child will turn over and become the boss.

According to his ideas.

What is expensive, what is a gimmick, just pile it inside, the price exceeds the surrounding housing prices, and it should be right to build it as a "luxury".

If it can form a brand effect, it will also help the Bund apartment, the positioning is aimed at the small white-collar workers who work in the inner ring, and the practice of the previous shareholders has proved that selling it as an ordinary apartment is just a dead end.

......

That night, like a normal night, nothing happened.

Wu Anyun is more than ten years older than Fan Liancheng, and compared to the relationship between men and women, she obviously treats him as a junior, and her approach is more casual, because she feels close.

The next day, I was not busy inspecting the market, going out to sea for snorkeling, having a big meal after seeing corals and small fish, and rushing to the airport to return home in the afternoon.

It's still a private jet, but it's replaced by a brand new Dassault Falcon 7X business jet, the interior space is much the same, the flight mileage is a lot shorter, so far Fan Liancheng has not found anything inconvenient about renting a private business jet, which makes the idea of buying a private jet less strong.

Of course, there are also reasons why there has been too much investment recently, and the money is a little tight.

Reading magazines with his legs crossed, private jet leasing companies have cooperated with major brand manufacturers, from jade jewelry to seaview villas, to yacht supercars, health care products, decoration and security, etc., advertisements can be found in several magazines, and more are financial advisors and company management services.

It is easy to get sleepy in the afternoon, and even more sleepy after getting on the plane, so I asked the beautiful flight attendant for a cup of coffee to refresh myself.

Qin Zhi and Wu Anyun sat opposite him.

Hearing Fan Liancheng sigh about how miserable the U.S. real estate market has been recently, Qin Zhi asked: "You all know that the foreign real estate market is very miserable, and you dare to win two real estate projects one after another, and they are sole proprietorships? This is your private business, and it has nothing to do with my job, but you finally made some money from the stock market, so don't get into it again." ”

This "strong woman" works in Longcheng Group, and Fan Liancheng's private investment really has little to do with her.

Longcheng Group is one of the earliest real estate companies in China, and the shareholders have made a fortune early, and almost all of them have some side businesses, such as Zhou Weixi, as well as waste recycling and processing enterprises, with a market value of hundreds of millions.

As a shareholder and an executive, as long as you don't delay the company's affairs too much, and occasionally take some time to deal with private business, no one will take it out to make a fuss, and the boss is different from the employee, and is much freer.

Fan Liancheng raised his head and replied with a smile: "Selling me 3.9 billion is already a discounted price, the future of the stock market is uncertain, all parties are bailing out the market, I am diversifying my investment." How many years has the real estate market been stable, it has risen for so many years, and it is normal to fall some, if you take the rich areas east and south of Manhattan's Central Park as a benchmark, the starting price is already quite cheap. ”

Fan Liancheng now also believes that the world's major financial markets are likely to decline further.

But he feels that the panic has gradually unleashed since the October crash.

I don't have the ability to have that foresight.

As early as the beginning of 2006, many institutions on Wall Street were blinded by the boom in the real estate market, and two new types of investment vehicles were derived from the real estate lending market, one is the debt-backed bond CDO, and the other is the credit default exchange CDS.

In February, as risks intensified, institutions led by the Paulson Institute made a fortune in the subprime mortgage crisis.

In the middle of the year, after the collapse of two of Bear Stearns' hedge funds that invested in subprime mortgages, overnight, investors began selling subprime mortgaged bonds, and Paulson's fund skyrocketed again, making more than $3 billion in profits so far.

At that time, Fan Liancheng had just taken over the assets and missed the investment opportunity, and later bet that the financial market would go down, dragging down the stock market.

This move was right, and the total profit reached more than 100 million US dollars.

By the end of October 2007, although he still believed that the stock market would fall, his idea was not as firm as it was a few months ago, and he was ready to close his position and retreat at any time.

This is also the main reason why he took over the Pengli No. 1 project, because Fan Liancheng did not feel that he would spend too long in the stock market, and when he began to rebound, after exceeding a certain scale, he would decisively withdraw from the market.

It's just that the stock market has been falling since the beginning of this month, and there is no sign of turning back, so he still chooses to take a small bet.

Several major investment banks and brokerages have made public statements similar to his expectations, some time ago they felt that they would fall sharply, and even worried about causing a serious financial crisis, but now although they are falling, some of the risks have been released, so Fan Liancheng also feels that the profit space will become smaller and smaller with the downward trend of the stock market, and enter a stable situation.

Qin Zhi didn't understand this.

She only knew that Fan Liancheng took over a real estate project at a high price, and the average price far exceeded the average price of various districts in the magic capital.

Jinling's top real estate, Zhongshan Golf Villa, is preparing to open in the near future, with a price of 30 million yuan.

Those are pure single-family villas, with a construction area of more than 800 square meters, covering an area of more than 1,000 square meters, and a large garden is also given away, and the plot ratio is so low that it is scary, and a total of 18 buildings are put on the market for sale.

It is difficult to sell all of the eighteen buildings alone, not to mention the hundreds of commercial houses with higher average prices in Fan Liancheng's hands, so it is no wonder that Qin Zhi is a little optimistic about this project.

She continued to say to Fan Liancheng: "The loan alone is two billion, I hope you can find so many rich people to buy it as soon as possible." ”

"Rush to finish the renovation before the next door is done, sell as much as you can, keep the rent if you can't sell it, and get the contact information of more than 100 customers when you take over the real estate, all of them have shown their intention to buy a house.

And the big boss sitting next to you, but he said that he would help me sell thirty sets, but if he can't do it, he can only go to the Hong Kong City Jockey Club, Chang'an Club and other places to solicit customers. ”

As soon as Fan Liancheng finished speaking, Wu Anyun replied with a blank face: "Who will help you sell thirty sets?" I haven't promised, you really know more rich people recently, celebrity gatherings go more, businessmen also go to more activities, Xiao Fan always has such a big face, make a phone call in person after the opening, the house will not be sold, I am frivolous and useless." ”

“...... At that time, I really should have recorded, not to mention anything else, I had to leave an advertising space at the gate of your eastern suburbs club. ”

——————————

Arrive home before 6 p.m.

Before I came back, I made an appointment to meet with someone and went to the design institute to see the new real estate planning plan.

If you want to make full use of the commercial land on the Bund in advance, this matter has not yet been completed, and a new plan must be reviewed by the authorities before ventilation.

The appearance is still the same, the interior space is fully utilized, most of the Loft design is adopted, and the room type of more than 90 square meters has been added, the maximum is 240 square meters, and the greening has been changed, and the area has been reduced and more refined.

At present, it only exists on the drawings, and the concept map is drawn, and the price of making a model sand table is not low, and I plan to wait until there is news to start, otherwise if the application for changing the plan is rejected directly, it will not be a waste of money.

I wanted to have a good time that night, slept on the 3.9 billion banknotes, and directly moved into the pent-floor duplex model room that I was going to keep for myself, and also instructed the employees of the old property management team to help plan it, and then have a house viewing party event, which is best arranged at night.

The night view of the city is more beautiful at night, and the new house is blinded by the black light, and the lights of the three buildings by the window should be installed in advance.

So as not to suffer a loss in front of Tomson Yipin, which is equipped with a yellow exterior wall light bar.

The model room has been renovated for more than two months, the materials are environmentally friendly, and the wind is passed, but there is no need to worry about becoming a human purifier, considering that other houses should be able to start decoration at the same time soon, there is no need to care too much about this model room on the top floor.

What's more, the area is too large, compared with the ordinary house type of more than 300 square meters after reading, it is inevitable that there will be a gap between those who look at the house, Fan Liancheng is really ready to stay, the disadvantage is that this means that for a long time, the entire real estate may only have him as a resident.

It's a happy event, and it has to be lively.

Call Zhao Sturgeon, Ge Junfa and others, and let them come over to play by themselves, don't call too many people.

Friends are right, they have also become potential home buyers now, they have nothing to do on weekdays, they are only busy eating, drinking and having fun, a phone call, and they are on call.

.......

After drinking, the few people who invited the new house that night did not leave.

Looking at the penthouse the next day, the smell of barbecue has not yet dissipated, and from the table to the room, it looks messy.

They slept lazily, and Fan Liancheng got up early to rush to the Longcheng headquarters for a meeting, which was only a little more than a kilometer away, and it took three minutes on the road.

Feng Dafa is still the same.

After meeting, this middle-aged man with a hard life said in a sour tone:

"Go to the beach for two days on the weekend, don't forget me next time you have this kind of good thing, I saw the photo sent by Assistant Qin, the lobster looks delicious." ”

"Let's go talk about business, you can't even speak English, eat and drink?"

As soon as he entered the office, Fan Liancheng lay on the office chair to rest, the zero-gravity ergonomic chair that he had just replaced, it cost more than 50,000 yuan to buy one online, and the seller probably didn't expect that someone would place an order, and it took more than 20 days before it was delivered to him.

Didn't he just want to eat and drink, Lao Feng's brain moved quickly, and he immediately replied: "I'm not afraid that no one will carry a bag for Mr. Fan, and the last time I went to the casino, I heard that there are many little girls who specialize in cheating people to go to the casino, so I have to let an old man like me follow, otherwise I don't worry." ”

Squinting at Lao Feng, Fan Liancheng threw a roll of his eyes at him, so that Feng Dafa could comprehend it himself.

Resting his feet on the desk and closing his eyes, he said: "If you have nothing to do, go and check for me, see if there are any celebrity gatherings, business forums and other activities, where there are many rich people, you can recommend them to me, see that you are also idle here, participate on my behalf in the future, and help me sell my house." ”

"This job is suitable for me! Doing sales is the most profitable, more work and more rewards, and there are bonuses?"

"No bonus, I'm not happy to sell low, wait and see for a period of time to get customers, at least let people know that there is this high-end real estate first, and then bring a map, and introduce it when you see someone. When the official sale is launched, what you sell will be counted as performance, and how much you will give will be said, okay?"

"I think it's okay. ”

Lao Feng looked behind him, lowered his voice and said: "The side hustle at work is not very good for others, especially my wife's side, you see ......"

"Private money, I know.

I take a break before the meeting, go out and close the door, and call me again if I have something. ”

Regular meeting on Monday.

After analyzing the sales of real estate in several major cities that opened last week, it was concluded that the willingness to buy a house was stronger than before, and the news of price reductions attracted a group of buyers, but the price prices showed a slight downward trend, and the overall market potential was huge.

Chairman Geng Lao Tou meant, regardless of the general environment, since the price of land has not fluctuated, and the land auction of some high-quality areas is not smooth, the company should take the opportunity to continue to hoard some high-quality land in first- and second-tier cities, especially the land in the newly planned key urban areas, and take it back to cover it for a period of time before opening.

There were no objections.

Last time, I spent more than 5 billion yuan to hoard some land, but due to the listing to raise 3.5 billion yuan, and two projects were sold out at the opening, the company's debt ratio is still lower than that of its peers.

Several giants, including Vanke, Man Yuanchun and the like, picked up the land without mercy, and some are merging similar real estate companies and issuing foreign debts to raise funds, since the opening time may be a few years later, long-term optimism, Fan Liancheng exercised the right to vote on behalf of Lao Fan, and passed a new round of 3 billion land acquisition plan.

As for the acquisition of the shares of the Kiyoshima real estate company, due to the emergence of competitors, the price previously negotiated was raised by as much as 130 million yuan.

No surprises.

As soon as the meeting ended, Qian Hai, senior vice president in charge of the investment department, took the initiative to come to Fan Liancheng's side and asked:

"I've heard you're also looking into the Disney project.

I'll tell you the truth, I've been following it for almost a month, and I have an investment plan that I was going to put forward just now, and after thinking about it, I still want to talk to you first and have a cup of tea in my office?"
