Chapter 51: Star-Moon City
On March 19, after having breakfast, Li Guangyu went to Tin Shui Wai accompanied by his bodyguards to learn about the construction of the commercial land in Tin Shui Wai by Xingguang Real Estate.
At this time, some of the group's senior executives had already come to the Tin Shui Wai construction site early, waiting for Li Guangyu's arrival.
Li Guangyu's motorcade slowly drove into the office area of the Tin Shui Wai construction site, and when Li Guangyu got out of the car, the senior management immediately surrounded him to say hello.
Accompanied by Gan Qinglin and others, Li Guangyu visited the construction site and asked some questions about the construction.
Afterwards, Li Guangyu and his entourage specially visited the canteen and staff dormitory on the construction site.
β¦β¦
At half past ten in the morning, in the conference room of Starlight Real Estate Group on the 9th floor of Wing Cheung Building in Wan Chai, Li Guangyu was presiding over the group meeting.
Gan Qinglin reported to Li Guangyu: "Li Sheng, at present, our group is mainly engaged in the development of Tin Shui Wai, and at the same time, we also have to supervise the construction of Kowloon Construction for the headquarters of our Li Group. β
Li Guangyu listened and asked: "Regarding the construction of our headquarters, how is it progressing now?"
"Li Sheng, at present, Kowloon Construction has completed the foundation construction and is currently starting the works on the ground. Gan Qinglin said.
"Lei Juekun's speed is quite fast, which means that our group headquarters may be built ahead of schedule. Li Guangyu said.
"Li Sheng, at this rate, I think we will be able to move into our own office building in September next year. β
Li Guangyu then asked: "At present, our group has just taken a look at the construction site for the development of the first phase of Tin Shui Wai, and you can introduce the specific situation to me." β
Gan Qinglin said: "Li Sheng, we will develop 15 hectares of land in the first phase of the Tin Shui Wai project, all of which will be built with 28 floors and 54 buildings. There are 8 households on each floor, of which the lower two floors are used for commercial. β
When Li Guangyu heard that the first issue was so huge, he asked, "Is our development too crowded?"
"Mr. Li, each of our households is about 600 square feet, of course, some of them are larger, and some of them are 400 square feet. We have already calculated at the time of design, and the plot ratio of the first phase of our development is about 4.5, which is fully in line with the regulations of the Hong Kong government. β
As soon as Li Guangyu heard that the plot ratio was 4.5, well, this was basically stuck on the line stipulated by the Xiangjiang government. However, all the real estate companies in Xiangjiang basically do this, Li Guangyu doesn't say anything, and Gan Qinglin is also for the company to make more money.
"We estimate how much construction money will be needed for the entire first phase of the project. β
He Mengting, Director of Finance, said: "Mr. Li, we expect to need HK$1.2 billion to complete the entire Tin Shui Wai Phase 1 project. β
When Li Guangyu heard that he wanted more than one billion dollars, he couldn't come up with so much money at present.
Li Guangyu thought about it and said: "This year, Xingyu Game Group and Xiangyu Culture Group need funds to expand, and I can't transfer a large amount of funds from the two groups, and they also have to afford the construction funds of the group's headquarters, so I will borrow from HSBC in the name of the group for the development of Tianshuiwei." β
Gan Qinglin also said: "Our group has no problem at all, and the first phase of our project is expected to be put on sale by the end of next year." β
After listening to this, Li Guangyu felt that it was just right at that time, and it was exactly two years for the employees of Tin Shui Wai to have a certain economic strength, so the sales of houses in Tin Shui Wai would be easier to sell, and at the same time, during that time, the housing prices in Xiangjiang were at a high level.
Li Guangyu then said: "We can't just build houses, we have to give them schools and hospitals." Without these two things, our homes wouldn't sell very well. β
The people who sat there were all elites, and they understood as soon as they heard Li Guangyu say this.
Gan Qinglin asked: "Li Sheng, should we build the hospital and school ourselves, or should we go to discuss with the Xiangjiang government?" β
Li Guangyu thought about this question and said: "Regarding this Tin Shui Wai, we will build and manage it ourselves, who called it so remote over there, if you want the government to go, the government may not be willing." β
"Okay, Li Sheng, we will give 5 hectares of land to build a school and a hospital. Building schools and hospitals better will also be conducive to our future development. Gan Qinglin said.
Li Guangyu had no opinion on this, and asked He Mengting: "What is the current financial situation of the company?"
"Li Sheng, at present, we have paid 200 million Hong Kong dollars for the construction of the headquarters building in Kowloon Construction Industry, and at the same time, we have allocated 200 million Hong Kong dollars for the Tin Shui Wai project, so the company has less than 50 million in the company's books. He Mengting replied.
After listening to He Mengting's reply, Li Guangyu said: "In the future, the issue of transferring funds to the headquarters building will be directly taken over by Xiangyu Culture Group, and the payment of your company will be handled." I will visit Mr. Shen Bi, the chairman of HSBC, tomorrow, and I don't think of a surprise that the money will be in the company's account in two days. β
"Okay, Mr. Li. He Mengting replied.
Li Guangyu said to Gan Qinglin: "Qinglin, we must do a good job of safety protection in the construction, I don't want the company to have a major accident." β
Li Sheng is assured that we are working in strict accordance with safety regulations, and we have also arranged safety management and inspection personnel at the construction site to prevent safety accidents. Gan Qinglin said.
"Some of the people we recruit may be from the north, and I hope that all management teams will treat them equally and not discriminately. Li Guangyu advised.
"Li Sheng is assured that we treat all employees with a set of standards, without any double standards. The group below replied.
"I'm relieved that you can do that. Li Guangyu said.
At this time, Gan Qinglin said to Li Guangyu: "Li Sheng, the Tin Shui Wai we have developed has not yet been named, and please name the first project we developed." β
Li Guangyu heard that Gan Qinglin asked him to name the group's first project, which was a bit difficult. Li Guangyu was originally a difficult household to choose a name, you must know that this name will be used as a faΓ§ade of Xingguang Real Estate Group in the future, and it will be a shame if it is not obtained well.
Li Guangyu thought about it carefully for a while, and didn't want to steal the names of those real estate companies in later generations, so he said, "Why don't we call it Xingyue City there?"
Gan Qinglin and the others naturally had no opinion, and they all returned, "Li Sheng, this name is good, we are mainly residential here, and the stars and moon represent the evening, so it's time for people to go home and rest." β
Li Guangyu was speechless about this, I made up a name, you can all talk nonsense about the reason.
Li Guangyu said: "Don't sigh, just a name, as long as the quality of our development is better, I don't think the name is particularly important." β
Lee then talked to the management about some other aspects of the company, and then announced the dismissal of the meeting.
At noon, Li Guangyu had dinner with Gan Qinglin and several directors of the group.
Li Guangyu explained to Gan Qinglin: "I will travel to RB in a few days, after I leave Xiangjiang, you mainly want to watch the development of Tin Shui Wai, as for some remarks that may appear in the Xiangjiang market, you should not pay attention to it, and at the same time, as the senior management of my Li Group, you must not express your own opinions." β
Several directors replied one after another: "Li Sheng, don't worry, we will definitely not cause trouble to the company." β
Seeing this, Li Guangyu didn't say anything more.
