Chapter 203: Wealthy Circle

The VIP building of the Hong Kong Jockey Club is closed to the public above the second floor today, and almost all of the top ten Chinese directors are discussing things on the third floor, and there are not many people but they are all heavyweights, Li Jiacheng, Bao Yugang, Zheng Yutong, Huo Yindong, Xu Shixun, and several representatives of Sun Hung Kai.

Recently, the Hong Kong government intends to bid for the construction of the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Center, although the specific news of the bidding has not yet been released, but the several tycoons present rely on their own connections, as well as how many careers, how many only know some famous.

The Hong Kong government's budget offers generous conditions – no land transfer fees, and most of the property rights will be owned by developers after completion.

These real estate tycoons have never taken the liberty of arranging and investing funds, bidding or not, and there seem to be few disagreements among everyone, or even an agreement.

Lee Ka-shing, Lee Yong-kee, and Kwok Tak-sheng focused their attention on the Central area of Hong Kong, where every inch of land is valuable.

Hong Kong's Central seems to be a "condensed Hong Kong", Central is an internationally renowned financial and commercial center, with the continuous construction of multi-storey skyscrapers in Central, including the headquarters of various banks, and the financial market has begun to flourish, many of Hong Kong's major business activities are carried out in Central, and many Hong Kong people are proud to work in Central.

However, due to the fact that the land in Central has not been able to meet the needs even after repeated reclamations, and the rent of the office in Central has remained high, the main business district of Hong Kong Island has gradually expanded to the north shore of Sheung Wan, Admiralty and Wan Chai, and the flow of people has gradually become less than before.

Even so, as the heart of Hong Kong and the centre of the financial market, business activities in Central are still quite frequent.

Therefore, as long as the Hong Kong government has a real estate development and construction investment project in the Central area, a group of people will definitely bid.

As for Pao Yugang himself, not long ago, taking advantage of the setback of the real estate industry, he bought a relatively high-quality land in Kowloon Bay from the Hong Kong government's real estate auction at a relatively affordable price. Now that a large amount of money is urgently needed to invest in building a house, it is natural that there is no time for consultants to accept such a large project at this moment.

Most of the ten people were not ready to bid, but Zheng Yutong of New World did disagree with everyone and decided to bid.

"To build the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Center, we don't invest in this project, I vote. After Zheng Yutong spread his hands to everyone, he spoke directly to everyone.

"Brother Xu, what do you think?" Bao Yugang turned his head to look at Xu Shixun, who had not yet expressed his position.

At this moment, Xu Shixun had not yet made up his mind, he smiled bitterly in his heart, feeling that he was a little grassy on both sides, and finally said cautiously: "The Hong Kong government's bidding for the construction of the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Center seems to be a big investment with no return on return, but if you look at the future, it may be a meaningful investment." ”

Li Jiacheng has been proud of the wind recently, and this year he "Cheung Kong Industrial" has bought a controlling stake in the "Hong Kong Electric Company", and in addition to seeing the direction of the wind in the real estate industry, he has bought buildings at low prices on a large scale, and the price is higher than that of the charter king. ”

Xu Shixun did not respond silently, because he himself did not know where to respond.

Bao Yugang patted Xu Shixun's shoulder with a smile and said, "Brother Xu might as well just say anything he has to say." I'm curious why didn't you bring another person over today, looking at this thing, Xu Xiaoyou is no worse than all of us here. ”

Xu Shixun shrugged helplessly, he also wanted to take his nephew to meet more big shots, expand his contacts, and help the family business in the future, but unfortunately Xu Ziming has been chasing girls recently.

Bao Yugang has a hundred times a good impression of Xu Ziming, from Wharf, to investing in real estate, and then to selling himself a big face in the Sun Hung Kai incident, in terms of these friendships alone, he has regarded Xu Ziming as a respectable friend.

Now that Xu Ziming has taken over the shipping business, the price is almost the same as Xu Shixun, although it is still a little hot, but I have to say that Xu Ziming's vision seems to be very accurate.

When a group of people heard this, everyone laughed and knew who Bao Yugang was talking about.

Guo Desheng and other Sun Hung Kai bigwigs' eyes couldn't help but light up, Xu Ziming's acquisition of their Sun Hung Kai shares made him hate Xu Ziming both in this person.

The reason for the hatred lies in the intervention of Jardine Matheson Matheson, which was triggered by Xu Ziming's back-to-back acquisition, and involved Sun Hung Kai in a fierce equity battle, and the joy lies in Xu Ziming's ability to understand the righteousness, when Guo Desheng, Li Yuanji and others were about to lose control of Sun Hung Kai, under the explanation of the charter king, Xu Ziming was able to still transfer shares at the original purchase price, and did not choose to sell for profit.

As for Huo Yindong, what he knows more about Xu Ziming lies in the entertainment industry, and he also smiled at this moment, "This little friend has recently been the focus of attention in the entertainment media, not long ago, he and He Hongshen's daughter made a name for themselves, and now it is estimated that he will chase girls again", after listening to Huo Yindong, Li Jiacheng laughed haha.

"Brother Huo, Xu Xiaoyou, although I don't have much to deal with, but the products alone are still remarkable, first-class people, naturally first-class products. ”

Li Jiacheng drank a glass of wine after speaking, but his evaluation of Xu Ziming was extremely high, and this evaluation was naturally based on Sun Hung Kai Properties.

Only Xu Ziming, a fool, returned the original to Sun Hung Kai. After talking about his thoughts, Li Jiacheng actually had a complicated heart, and his way of life was "first-class wisdom in life and first-class knowledge in business".

Bao Yugang is undeniable and quite agreeable, and said bluntly: "Xu Xiaoyou is relatively low-key, knows how to be modest and retreats, will not deliberately build momentum, and is a high-profile person who does things in a low-key manner." We don't know about the scandals in the Hong Kong entertainment industry, but Xu Xiaoyou's ambitions in business are not small. With his ingenuity, if he were to devote himself to the real estate industry, I think several of us would only have enough soup to drink. ”

Everyone felt that the words of the charter boat king were a joke, and echoed the laughter, but only the charter boat king himself knew that Xu Ziming was really worthy of his evaluation, and a few people present were even

It was Xu Shixun who didn't know about him as a charter boat king.

A group of people chatted back and forth, more and more deviating from the topic, but fortunately, Bao Yugang still remembered, looked at Xu Shixun, and suddenly asked: "Brother Xu, does Xu Xiaoyou have any opinion on this bidding? Or does he not know about this matter?"

Xu Shixun took a breath, sorted out his thoughts and said: "His suggestion is that this is a long-term investment project, and we need to recognize the real estate industry in the mainland..."

Can you briefly summarize what he meant? Before Xu Shixun could finish speaking, Guo Desheng couldn't bear it anymore and asked.

Xu Shixun looked at Guo Desheng with an anxious face, tried his best to speak loudly and clearly, and said: "Look north at Shenzhou." ”

When the people present heard this sentence, they felt that it was very unique.

Li Jiacheng felt particularly intentional after hearing this, and stroked his palm and praised: "Xu Xiaoyou's eyes are not only limited to Hong Kong, but have begun to attach importance to the development of the mainland, which is very commendable, but..."

Li Jiacheng's tone changed, he looked at everyone with a smile in his eyes, bowed slightly, put down the wine glass in his hand, and blurted out: "I'll tell you something." ”

The charter boat king smiled, he knew that Li Jiacheng's business acumen was higher than everyone here, so he naturally listened to him.

Seeing a group of people staring at him sincerely, Li Jiacheng did not procrastinate, and said with a hearty smile: "If you pay a little more in the fierce competition, you can win a little more." Just like in the Olympics, the runner who runs first wins second and third is a little faster. If it's a short run, it's probably less than a second, so a little faster is a win. ”

This sentence is very reasonable, and Bao Yugang, Zheng Yutong and others agree with it.

Li Jiacheng said while making movements with his hands: "Whether to take over the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Center project or not is not the key purpose of our discussion. As a real estate company, it is naturally impossible for us to spend a lot of money to make the so-called distant investment. Even if you do it, you need to have a lot of money, and you have the courage and strength to afford to lose. ”

Li Jiacheng saw that there were some subtle changes in everyone's eyes, and continued to speak: "I believe in rolling profits, constantly obtaining investment projects, obtaining benefits, and enriching my strength. We are not philanthropists, but businessmen, and businessmen pay attention to what they pay attention to, and businessmen naturally pay attention to how to make money. The slower we move in business, the more opportunities we lose in the mall. Therefore, instead of bidding for the construction of the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Center, it is better to buy land. Buying and selling land can have significant benefits in the short term, although risks coexist, but at least within the scope of their own control. ”

Li Ka-shing's words were very direct and clear, and he hit the nail on the head, and the people who were preparing to bid before already had an idea.

The charter king was a little unpredictable about the bidding before, because Xu Ziming, who took it very seriously, obviously agreed with the bidding, but at this moment Li Jiacheng's analysis was extremely reasonable.

In the second comparison, Bao Yugang naturally chose not to bid, as for Guo Desheng, Li Yuanji and others, their eyes have always been staring at Central, and there is no idea of bidding at all.

Zheng Yutong felt very uncomfortable when he heard this, touched Xu Shixun's elbow, and asked, "China Construction Enterprise, does my brother have any plans to bid?" ”

Xu Shixun was impartial to Li Jiacheng's words, and responded to Zheng Yutong: "If New World insists on bidding, I don't mind joining hands with my brother company to bid." ”

Zheng Yutong was overjoyed, and hurriedly raised the wine glass in his hand to clink glasses with the other party, and he said proudly: "Brother Xu, don't let me go when the time comes." ”

Xu Shixun said with a smile: "Looking north to Shenzhou is the general trend, since others dare not do this loss-making business, we should be a tempering." ”

Not only "Uncle Tong" Cheng Yu-tung firmly believes that Hong Kong's tomorrow will be better, but Xu Ziming and Xu Shixun are even more determined that looking north to China is a historical trend. They know that this is a thankless task in the eyes of everyone, but they believe that it is a sign of wisdom.
