On the morning of January 21, Li Guangyu watched a good show with Guo Qingya, Gan Qin, and Zhao Yu at the auction of the Financial Secretary. Flash Dance

Due to the influence of Li Guangyu, not only did Li Guangyu himself not make a move this time, but even several real estate groups such as Stanley Ho, Li Ka-shing, Lee Shau Kee and Kwok Tak-sheng did not make a move at this auction.

On the contrary, Chen Zengxi, Hu Yingxiang, Lin Baixin, Zheng Yutong and Jardine Matheson, Swire, and Wheelock competed fiercely. As for Bao Yugang, firstly, he had not straightened out the Wharf, and secondly, seeing that Li Guangyu, Guo Desheng and others had not made a move, he gave up this competition.

After the auction, Hang Lung Group Chairman John Chan came to Lee and invited him to his luncheon at The Peninsula Hotel.

Chan Tsang Hee's Hang Lung Group, together with Cheung Kong, Sun Hung Kai Properties, Hopewell Holdings and DCH Properties, is known as the Five Tigers of Chinese Real Estate, and even Lee Shau Kee's Shau Kee Group and Cheng Yu Tung's New World Properties are just juniors. Even now, Hang Lung still sits firmly in the top five of Chinese real estate. Wharf, which was acquired by Cheung Kong, Sun Hung Kai and Pao Yugang, as well as Lee Guangyu's Starlight Property Group, were able to overpower him.

In particular, last year, it formed a group with Cheung Kong, Siu Kee, New World and Jardine Land to build properties on the Mong Kok MTR, making a profit of HK$4.6 billion in two years, of which Hang Lung Group, as the largest shareholder, made a profit of HK$1.6 billion. Li Guangyu knew that Hang Lung Group had now acquired Taohua Datong and was preparing to develop real estate there. Flash Dance

When Li Guangyu arrived here, he saw that there were already several bigwigs in the private room, Bao Yugang, Li Ka-shing, Lee Shau-kee, Guo Desheng, Zheng Yutong and others were impressively listed, and Li Guangyu even saw the famous playboy Zhao Shizeng also come here.

Li Guangyu doesn't know very well what Chen Zengxi is going to do when he invites so many real estate tycoons here, looking at what he is planning to do.

It is estimated that everyone has arrived, and Chen Zengxi instructed the hotel service staff to start serving.

Chen Zengxi said: "I invite you to come here today to discuss a major matter with you. As you know, in 79 years, Hang Lung Group, together with Ka Shing, Shau Kee and Yu Tung, won the right to develop the property above the Mong Kok MTR station, and completed all the development last year and made a good profit. ”

Li Ka-shing said: "Zeng Xi, thanks to the efforts of your Hang Lung Group, we can follow you and reap the benefits. ”

Chan Tseng-hee said with a smile: "This is what you deserve, if it weren't for your support, I wouldn't have been able to get the right to develop the property above the Mong Kok MTR station." ”

As long as his plan can succeed this time, he believes that the strength of his group will surpass Sun Hung Kai Properties, and he is expected to compete with Cheung Kong to compete for the second position of Chinese real estate.

As for the first position, Chen Zengxi never thought that Starlight Real Estate Group does not need to calculate the market value, and the property of the Li Group controlled by Starlight Group alone far exceeds the total market value of his Hang Lung Group.

After the waiter went out, Chen Zengxi said to everyone: "I hope to cooperate with you this time to get the property development rights on the nine subway stations on the new line of the Xiangjiang Metro. ”

Li Guangyu didn't expect Chen Zengxi to be so ambitious, he wanted to unite with the Chinese-funded real estate group to compete with the British-funded consortium, and wanted to eat the property development rights on the nine new subway stations.

Although they made a lot of money by cooperating with Hang Lung Group last time, Li Ka-shing and Lee Shau Kee did not immediately agree to it this time, but they knew that Li Guangyu was not very optimistic about the development of the real estate market in Hong Kong in the next few years, so they should be cautious. It is very detrimental to the development of the group.

Zheng Yutong, who has cooperated with Chen Zengxi, is very confident, and he is also very optimistic about this development model, having made a fortune with Hang Lung Group last time.

After Chen Zengxi finished speaking, Zheng Yutong immediately replied: "Zeng Xi, there is no problem, we can still adopt the cooperation method last time, and form a group to jointly win the property development rights in these places, and we can't cheapen these British-funded consortiums." ”

After Zheng Yutong finished speaking, Zhao Shizeng, chairman of Huaguang Real Estate Group, said: "We, Huaguang Real Estate Group, are also willing to join in and cooperate with everyone to develop these properties. ”

Zhao Shizeng is very aware of the profits made by Chen Zengxi on the Mong Kok MTR station, and Chen Zengxi can invite himself to participate this time, so naturally he can't let go of such an opportunity.

What Chen Zengxi hopes most is to hear the news that Li Guangyu and several of them have joined in, and with the addition of Li Guangyu and several other major groups, this time the matter will be completely stable. Moreover, with the addition of the Li Group, there is a lot of convenience in the development of these places. For example, transportation, the Lee Group's Kowloon Bus Company is a powerful weapon.

It's a pity that Chen Zengxi was disappointed that none of the few people on Li Guangyu's side who were doing it made a sound, just quietly listened to others on the side.

Chen Zengxi asked Li Ka-shing: "Ka-shing, do you Changshi plan to come in this time to join the shares?"

Li Ka-shing is now busy dealing with the affairs of Hutchison Whampoa, and at the same time has to set up the Japanese branch of Cheung Kong Group, and Li Guangyu is clearly not optimistic about the development of the real estate industry in Hong Kong, so he is unwilling to join such a huge plan at this time.

Li Ka-shing said: "Zeng Xi, you also know the situation of our group, after we acquired Hutchison Whampoa, the group's funds are relatively scarce, and now we have a plan to enter the Japanese market, and there is no extra financial resources to join this plan for the time being." ”

After hearing Li Ka-shing's refusal, Chan was slightly disappointed, and then asked Lee Shau Kee and Kwok Tak-sheng respectively, but they were both rejected on the grounds of entering the Japanese market.

Chen Zengxi knows that this must be related to Li Guangyu, most likely because the Li Group is not very optimistic about the development of the real estate industry in Xiangjiang in the next few years, so all the companies related to him have gone to Japan to develop the market.

Chen Zengxi didn't ask Li Guangyu and Stanley Ho, he knew that the answer was the same when he asked, and these people estimated that they would not focus on the development of the real estate industry in Xiangjiang in the past few years.

Chen Zengxi then turned to Bao Yugang and asked, "Yugang, what about your Wharf? Are you interested in joining in and developing these properties with us?" ”

Seeing that Li Guangyu and the real estate groups related to him have avoided Xiangjiang and entered the Japanese development market, he was also a little hesitant, and he did not see where there was danger in the current real estate market in Xiangjiang, but with Li Guangyu's excellent vision in recent years, it reminded that the crisis of Xiangjiang real estate was coming.

The charter king replied: "Zeng Xi, let me go back and discuss with the higher-ups, and then I will give you an answer, how about it?"

Chen Zengxi replied: "Yugang, there is no problem, I am waiting for your good news." ”
