Tut-tut, it is worthy of the garden that Li Gongzi ran when he was at his most beautiful, this grass and trees are really expensive. ”

Standing in the new garden at the top of Victoria Peak, holding cognac overlooking Victoria Bay, the corners of Gu Kun's mouth couldn't help but show a smug smile of a victor.

The garden was supposed to be named something else, but it wasn't completely renovated, so it wasn't hung up. Now, the original signboard is definitely no longer needed, and the decoration of the unfinished part must be slightly adjusted according to Gu Kun's meaning, so as to make it look new.

The signboard of the garden, Gu Kun is ready to change its name to "Youlan Garden".

There is no typo, it is this "you", not the winding "quiet".

The winding path leads to the secluded "secluded", as the name of a certain scenery in the manor, it is no problem, but as the overall name of the garden, it seems a little too cold and born.

Besides, in the Dream of Red Mansions, the Grand View Garden directly wrote "Winding Paths Lead to Secluded Places", after all, it was only from the hands of people like Jia Baoyu, Jia Baoyu was not a person who did big things, how could Gu Kun fully learn from the gloomy outlook on life that was indisputable with the world.

Change the word "leisure" to take its leisure and go to its gloom.

The garden covers an area of nearly 100,000 square feet, that is, 9,000 square meters, and in the end, it actually cost 600 million Hong Kong dollars, which is converted into 70,000 Hong Kong dollars for one square meter.

On the eve of the return to China in 97, when the bubble in the Xiangjiang property market was at its hottest, those high-end apartments near Victoria Bay, which were not the first-line Lingang kind, were close to 100,000 Hong Kong dollars per square meter. The expensive area in Kowloon by the bay also costs 60,000 or 70,000 yuan, and the second-tier areas such as Sham Shui Po and Yau Ma Tei are only less than 50,000 yuan. The cheapest ones are the suburbs of Tsuen Wan and Sha Tin.

The property market in March 2000 fell by one-third from the peak in June '97, and the apartments on the island were generally more than 50,000 square meters, and the top of the mountain, Baijia Road, was more than five times more expensive than those apartments. Therefore, 70,000 Hong Kong dollars per square meter is indeed a low price of "cutting and slashing".

If it weren't for Boss Li's hemorrhage this time, then even if Gu Kun waited naturally and waited until the end of 02 and the beginning of 03 to make a move at the historical turning point where Xiangjiang's housing prices were the lowest, the cheapest would be about 150,000 square meters.

After all, this is an area of land, not the kind of high-rise "building area", it is a genuine inch of land.

The villas in this garden are built on average three floors, and there are some empty landscape platforms and sky pools that are also raised. Even if you don't count the pool area, the rest of the construction area is easily more than 10,000.

It's a pity that because the decoration has not been completed, I can't live for the time being, but I just came to see the flowers and declare my sovereignty.

Gu Kun asked the female secretary to hire a decoration company, the kind that does not have a British style, and paid for the progress: "Give you three months to finish the rest of the work, and then disperse the smell." I'm going to the Olympics in July, and when I go back in early August, I'm going to see that there are people living here. ”

"Okay, Mr. Gu, I will definitely not delay you. ”

It was too hot in August in Lanfang, and the preparations for going to the mainland to escape the summer still had to be done.

……

After the hilltop mansion "Youlan Garden" on Baijia Road changed hands, the next day the Xiangjiang property market reacted.

Although the market price does not fluctuate, the number of trading volume and consultation intentions has obviously increased slightly.

Obviously, it is a lot of pseudo-gangs who have been holding coins for three years and are afraid that Gu Kun's move will lead to a change in the direction of the market, and they finally no longer hold back.

Boss Li calmed down and waited for two more days to confirm that the wind direction had indeed changed, and some real estate projects even began to rise in price against the market, so he had to accept this stunned setting.

"Gu Kun, an outsider, has surpassed me in the Xiangjiang property market?" Boss Li was very unwilling.

However, he was actually a little worried. The reason why there is such a situation is because he gives people the impression that he has always been rich and unkind, as a dealer in the circle, he said about the rise and fall of the property market, of course, leeks will have natural resistance.

And Gu Kun gives people the impression that he is an outsider who has no interests involved, or an international attention person who often comes to the mainland to perform chivalrous deeds and come thousands of miles away, and of course there are more people who accept his posture.

In order to further stabilize Gu Kun, after confirming the sealing effect, Boss Li successively transferred several other slightly lower-grade mansions promised before to Gu Kun within two or three days, either half sold and half given away, or directly given away for free.

There is a large villa with a private water park in Repulse Bay,

A clubhouse with a marina in Victoria Bay,

There is also Fanling Generation, a county in the northern suburbs of Xiangjiang, and a manor with a miniature private golf course – a standard golf course with an area of 30 to 50 hectares. The smallest five-hole golf course is also at least two hectares of land.

The mini golf manor that Boss Li gave Gu Kun covers an area of three and a half hectares, and in a city like Xiangjiang, the urban area will definitely not be able to get it, so it can only be taken to the suburbs, but this is already very valuable.

Counting the first Baijiadao mansion, Gu Kun received more than 200 million US dollars in benefits when he bought it. The latter three properties add up to at least more than 200 million in terms of benefits below the current market price.

Considering that according to the original history, the housing prices in Xiangjiang will fall in the next two or three years. Even compared with the lowest price in history, Gu Kun has saved at least $300 million.

In other words, he paid a total of 200 million yuan to buy four properties with the current price of 700 million yuan and the lowest price in history of 500 million US dollars in the future.

From hilltop villas, to beach water parks, to marina clubs in the port area, to golf courses and racecourses in suburban counties, the four major categories are readily available, basically all the high-end luxury clubs/manor types that can be enjoyed on the one-third of an acre of land in Xiangjiang.

Others rushed to beg him to accept it, just to show his optimism about the relevant industries in Xiangjiang.

……

Under the premise that the other party showed weakness and softness, Gu Kun was in other areas of HSBC's auction, of course, he reciprocated and sold his favor.

On March 10, in a round of bidding for the equity of several invested projects under Pacific Century Digital, Gu Kun made his first move, bidding $50 million, and passed the first round of hidden bidding.

At that time, he was bidding for a 40% stake in an online entertainment company called "Zhonglian Technology".

This is a technology company founded in 98 years to engage in chess and card games online game platform, because there is no profit model, it has always been similar to the public welfare does not charge money to play for nothing, so it must need external venture capital, and it has taken a lot of money from Yingke Digital to burn to this day.

Now that Yingke Digital is going down, the shares of Zhonglian Technology held by Yingke will of course be sold cheaply.

Gu Kun's 50 million shortlisted is actually not too much of a premium, compared with the investment when Yingke entered the market, it has risen less than five times.

In the field of Internet venture capital, from the angel round to the end of the A round and the interruption of the B round, after two years in between, it is indeed very rare to only rise five times. Generally, well-developed companies, as long as they can climb from obscurity to the top position in the industry, it is easy to rise 20 times.

At present, this platform only operates a few simple online poker games such as fighting landlords, and there are no other poker games or even mahjong, but it is considered to occupy the first place in the field of online poker in China, and there are three and a half million people who have registered accounts to play cards on it.

After being shortlisted, HSBC also announced the first round of dark bidding quotations of the shortlisted companies, and then let them bid for a second time - don't feel that HSBC has done everything to raise prices, because this is originally the bank's legal auction for pledge liquidation, of course, it is to try to make interested buyers raise the price as much as possible.

The combination of the secret bid shortlist and the on-site auction finals is to maximize the coaxing, so as not to set the reserve price high enough during the direct auction, and some of the first few bidders have engaged in psychological warfare and suddenly raised the price range very much, scaring other opponents from following up.

One more round of dark bids is to let everyone fully consider and use the chain of suspicion to bring up the rhythm first when the initial psychological price is released.

And Gu Kun saw from the list of shortlisted secret bids that in the first round of dark bidding, only the South African MIH Group bid higher than him, reaching more than 70 million US dollars.

After entering the direct bidding auction, Gu Kun decisively added a few times, and even secretly negotiated and chatted with MIH's people in the venue, saying that he was not very interested in the operation of this platform, but he was more interested in supervision and control, and if MIH was willing to promise not to expand the scope of gray business in the future, Gu Kun could let go.

But if MIH wants to expand into the gray range, Gu Kun will definitely lobby the regulator to give up a heavy hand.

The people at MIH understood Gu Kun's secret logic, and felt that there was really not much room for imagination, so they stopped when they shouted about $80 million.

Gu Kun finally got a 40% stake in Zhonglian Technology, a chess and card platform, at a price of 90 million US dollars.

After getting his hands on it, Gu Kun also agreed with MIH's gentlemen to let go of the other two small projects that the South Africans were interested in, and everyone got along with each other half of the bid-rigging and half of the fair competition - in fact, it was not bid-rigging, but because there were too few people who had the vision and were willing to enter the market, except for Gu Kun and MIH, there were really not many other participants who knew the goods and had the courage.

Soon, the equity bidding/auction activity entered its third week, and Gu Kun found a target that MIH was almost unlikely to let go.

Tengyun Technology's 25% stake was put on the table and will be auctioned the next day.

In terms of MIH, on the first day of the dark bid shortlisting stage, they had already shouted more than 100 million US dollars, and they didn't seem to want to let go of this target.

Gu Kun didn't really want to be the wrongdoer, so he had a flash of inspiration and found that he could ask Boss Li to buy some more for him.

——

(PS: Based on recent comments, a little word.)

The book didn't say that Boss Li was going to be killed at the moment. In fact, some of the other books mentioned in your book review area, I haven't read them before, and I don't know they exist, and I'm not a writer of books about financial speculation.

I say in good conscience that no matter what happens to Boss Li, at least so far in the book, he has not offended Gu Kun much. Li Gongzi was just stunned by the AOE of the butterfly effect, this is an "event", not an "act", not Gu Kun deliberately killed him.

Gu Kun is not a mad guy who dies when he sees a rich man. His scolding is also based on the basic law of grievances, right? From Chen Mingcheng to Kong Shangzhong and Soros, those were all destroyed and weakened because they couldn't get along with Gu Kun, and they were not simply hating the rich. ）
