Chapter 788: An Active Real Estate Market
In the past few days, the transactions in the real estate market in Xiangjiang have become more and more active, and it is no longer the same as this year, with only sellers and no buyers.
Some careful industry insiders have found that not only the Lee consortium has begun to enter the Hong Kong real estate market on a large scale, but even Siu Kee, Cheung Kong, Sun Hung Kai and other groups close to the Lee consortium have also begun to enter the market on a large scale, acquiring buildings and shops with good geographical locations, as well as high-end residences.
It's a pity that most of the groups are currently short of funds and have no ability to join here, although some of them think that the Li consortium and the Xiangjiang consortium have begun to enter the market on a large scale, which means that the Xiangjiang property market may begin to pick up after more than a year of cold winter, and at this time it is just powerless.
The sellers in Hong Kong have not discouraged the idea of selling their buildings and storefronts because the market may be picking up, and they now just want to cash out as soon as possible, and the collapse of the property market has broken their hearts.
At first, they also thought it was just a little fluctuation, but they didn't expect the property market prices to fall more and more fiercely, and when they wanted to make a move, no one came out to take over, and they could only watch their assets shrink.
Now that someone is finally willing to take over, they just want to be able to settle down as soon as possible, and they don't have to worry about it every day.
In particular, some owners who have debts in the bank prefer to sell their houses as soon as possible, so that they can also pay off the bank loan and avoid their buildings and storefronts being taken over by the bank.
Guo Qingya has been very busy these days, and their group has divided into a number of negotiation teams to communicate with the owners of the buildings and shops to acquire these buildings and shops.
On the morning of October 20, when Guo Qingya was looking at some documents, Li Guangyu came to her office.
Li Guangyu specially went down to the office area of Wheelock Group to learn about the acquisition process of Wheelock Group in the past few days.
This time, Wheelock Group will use HK$12 billion for the acquisition of Heung Kong Building, shops and high-end residences, which is a very large amount of funds and will also inject vitality into the sluggish real estate market in Hong Kong.
Several major real estate groups on the side of the Xiangjiang Consortium have invested a lot of money in this operation, and the combined funds of their major groups are larger than that of Wheelock Group.
After listening to Guo Qingya's report, Li Guangyu said: "Your group must act quickly, you have been preparing for so long, far more advantageous than Zhaoji, Cheung Kong and other groups, this time not only Wheelock Group is in action, they will also not let go of this opportunity, if some better buildings move slowly, I am afraid that Wheelock Group will miss it at that time." ”
Guo Qingya is full of confidence in this, they have been preparing for this operation for nearly two years, she has perfect information here, and their negotiation team also gave priority to choosing the building for negotiation, and they are all in good locations.
And although several major groups are acquiring, there will still be rules inside, as long as a group is negotiating the acquisition with the owner, other group acquisition teams are not allowed to contact the owner.
The major groups communicate on a daily basis to avoid internal friction with each other, and Wheelock has taken the lead in this regard.
Guo Qingya said confidently: "Li Sheng, please rest assured, our group has a perfect plan, and we will be able to achieve very good results in this operation. ”
Li Guangyu knew that the reason why Guo Qingya was able to seize the opportunity was mainly because the Wheelock Group was the first to enter, and the other groups followed behind, so some buildings in good locations were preempted by the Wheelock Group, and they could only acquire the buildings and shops they saw according to their own information.
This is the largest operation of Wheelock Group in two years, and it is also the first expansion action in the Hong Kong market since Kwok Qingya presided over Wheelock Group, and Kwok Qingya attaches great importance to this matter.
The vice presidents of the Wheelock Group also personally supervised the various acquisition teams to ensure that the acquisition progressed every day and completed the acquisition as soon as possible.
Li Guangyu said: "You try to buy the International Building and the Federal Building this time, these two buildings are where we struggled at the beginning, this time all of them have financial problems, they also intend to sell these two buildings, you will arrange the acquisition team to communicate with them." ”
At the beginning, the Li consortium had just developed, whether it was Xingyu Game Group, Xiangyu Culture Group and Tianyu Financial Group, they were all established in these two buildings, and now the Li consortium has enough strength to acquire these two buildings, which can also fill some regrets.
At the same time, these two buildings will also be the headquarters buildings of Xingyu Game Group and Xiangyu Culture Group, this time Wheelock Group is only to negotiate the acquisition, and it is these two groups that pay the money.
"Mr. Li, we have two negotiation teams that have already contacted the owners behind the two buildings and are communicating about the acquisition, and I believe that we will be able to win these two buildings within this month. ”
Guo Qingya is also very interested in the Federal Building and the International Building, and she herself has worked in the International Building, when Xiangyu Culture Group and Tianyu Investment Company shared a floor office, which was very crowded.
At that time, she herself never imagined that one day she would be able to sit as the president of the group with a market value of tens of billions, thinking that the working environment at that time was really different from now.
She also clearly remembers that Li Guangyu once said that if there is an opportunity in the future, she must make the International Building her own industry, so that the office environment of the group will no longer be crowded.
Now the Lee consortium has the current Lee Building, the new Wheelock Building is under construction, the Jiayi Building will also be rebuilt, the headquarters building of the Heung Kong Air Transport Group will also start, and the Heung Kong Telecom Group Building is not far from each group having an independent office building.
Whether it is Hongyu Clothing Group or Tianyu Financial Group, there is no shortage of funds on the two accounts, and it is very easy for them to have an independent office building, but they don't know when they will build their own office building.
"You can't just focus on this operation, whether it's the Joahawk City project, or several major commercial complexes in Southeast Asia, as well as the construction of a terminal warehouse in Kuala Lumpur, you have to pay attention to it, which is also related to the future development of our Lee Foundation," Lee said. ”
At the beginning, Li Guangyu originally planned to let Starlight Real Estate Group be responsible for the Southeast Asia region and the Lisboa City project, but Starlight Real Estate Group was busy with the construction of the property on the Taipei MRT Station on the treasure island, and he didn't have the energy to take care of it too much.
At present, whether it is the horse racing city in Lisboa, or the China Town project in Kuala Lumpur, Bangkok, Jakarta and Singapore, they are all under rapid construction.
Chinatown is an office and commercial complex designed to become a local landmark and enhance the influence of the Lee Consortium and the Heung Kong Consortium in the local area.
Guo Qingya replied: "Li Sheng, Bai Jiangting, vice president of our group, is personally supervising the affairs here, and the construction of projects in these areas is steadily under construction according to the time node. ”
