The time soon came on Tuesday, and according to the agreement with Huo Yingdong, Xu Zhi's three Mercedes-Benz convoys slowly entered the gate of Huo Mansion.

As soon as he got out of the car, a middle-aged man in his thirties walked over and said, "Xu Sheng, I have admired the name for a long time, my name is Huo Zhenting, and my father asked me to pick you up." ”

"It turned out to be Huo Sheng, I have long admired your name, you are the idol of all Hong Kong men!" Xu Zhi said with a smile, the person in front of him is Huo Yingdong's eldest son, on September 25 last year, Huo Zhenting married Zhu Lingling, a Hong Kong sister he had known for 9 months, which shook the entire Xiangjiang.

Huo Zhenting smiled and said, "Xu Sheng, please come inside, my father is already waiting!"

"Okay, let's go inside!"

After Xu Zhi entered, he also saw several people he met at the Hong Kong Governor's Gala a few days ago sitting on the sofa in the hall, and Comrade Lao Li Lao Bao was also among them.

Huo Yingdong said with a smile: "Xu Sheng, come on, please take a seat, everyone here and Xu Sheng also know each other, so there is no need to introduce more." ”

Xu Zhi smiled: "No need to introduce, I already knew each other a few days ago." ”

In addition to Lao Bao and Lao Li, there were also Hu Yingxiang of Hopewell Industrial, Chan Tseng-hei of Hang Lung Group, and Lee Shau Kee of Henderson Group.

After Xu Zhi sat down, Chen Zengxi next to him said: "Xu Sheng, we are discussing one thing, the MTR Corporation is preparing to auction a piece of land in Yau Tsim District, Mong Kok, and our Hang Lung Group is preparing to participate in the bidding with Cheung Kong and Henderson Group, I wonder if Xu Sheng is interested?"

"Mong Kok?" Xu Zhi thought about it, the MTR Corporation has only begun to build the subway in recent years, and every place selected is the most prosperous area, and the three major companies should bid for the site of the Mong Kok Central Building in the future.

The land auction for Mong Kok Centre was launched in 1979 by a consortium led by Hang Lung Group to reach an agreement with the MTR to build a 22-storey building, Mong Kok Centre.

Two years later, in 1981, at the peak of property prices in Hong Kong, the pre-sale of the building was booming, and the entire consortium made a net profit of HK$400 million.

Xu Zhi asked: "Of course I'm interested in this kind of thing, I don't know how much I can buy?"

Chen Zengxi looked at Li Jiacheng and Lee Shau-kee next to him, and it seemed that the three of them had reached a tacit understanding, and said: "Xu Sheng can invest 20% of the shares, and according to our estimates, the transaction price of this land may be around 300 million Hong Kong dollars, and Xu Sheng only needs to take out 60 million Hong Kong dollars!"

Xu Zhi frowned and said, "60 million?

Li Jiacheng said with a smile: "Xu Sheng, everyone here knows that you have a lot of cash flow, only 60 million Hong Kong dollars, it's nothing!"

Xu Zhidao: "It's nothing, it's just a land auction, you don't need to come up with all the funds!"

Huo Yingdong and Bao Yugang drank tea and looked at a few people, and after listening to Xu Zhi's words, they all smiled deeply.

Chen Zengxi was silent for a while and said, "It's always more convenient if you have cash!"

"Let's take a look at the bank loan!" Xu Zhi finally understood, why these people were so kind and wanted to let themselves join this project!

Although these people are not traversers and do not have major economic fluctuations, it is almost 100% certain that the project in this prosperous area will make money, and pulling themselves in is actually just to make a starting capital for themselves.

The real estate industry is a small capital to leverage large leverage, the current real estate five tigers market value is less than one billion Hong Kong dollars, but at every turn are operating more than a dozen hundreds of millions or even billions of large-scale projects, the skill is to use bank loans on a large scale, coupled with the pre-sale of houses to recover funds, and there is a possibility of defaulting on the construction company for a period of time when building a building.

However, no matter how small the capital is, it also needs a sum of money, and these companies are operating a lot of projects at the same time, and they are obviously not willing to pay for the Mong Kok Centre project.

If Xu Zhi invests this money, maybe these companies will use the money to carry out the initial operation, and the follow-up may also ask for cash.

Although this project will definitely not lose money, but this era pays attention to the utilization rate of funds, the same earns 100 million, and the difference between investing 10 million and investing 1 billion is to make a profit and a loss.

Li Jiacheng said with a smile: "Xu Sheng, Chen Sheng, today is Huo Sheng inviting us to a party, and we can talk about business matters slowly in the future." ”

Chen Zengxi nodded, not saying anything.

"Good. Xu Zhi smiled and agreed, if he refused to pay the full amount, it was estimated that he had been excluded.

Huo Yingdong started to be a peacemaker, and said with a smile: "It's okay, let's talk casually, whether it's family or business, it doesn't matter, even if the cooperation fails, everyone is Chinese, and they should join forces against British capital, as long as there is no infighting!"

Everyone stopped, and Chen Zengxi and the others did not talk about business anymore, but chatted with several tycoons about family life.

After a while, a few people came, all of them real estate merchants.

Seeing that the people were almost complete, Huo Yingdong stood up and said, "I know that you may have a lot of questions about my invitation to come here today, but in fact, today's gathering has two purposes:

One is the old thing, everyone gathers together to discuss the general direction of everyone's business in the future, so as not to put everyone's goal on the same piece of land, fighting each other and hurting their vitality, if everyone looks at the same piece of land at the same time, you can also bid for a joint venture. ”

Everyone's expressions didn't change, they were still very casual, obviously this kind of thing was not the first time, and they had long been used to it.

Huo Yingdong said: "This second thing, is to be a matchmaker, the mainland government has opened a new Shekou Industrial Zone in Shenhai City, I think everyone knows, after lunch, Vice President Lin of Xinhua News Agency will come over and invite everyone to visit, I hope you give me this face, promise to go to Shekou for a trip, I will not force you to invest or not, this all depends on your willingness." ”

"Go to the mainland?" Many people suddenly hesitated, I didn't expect this kind of thing today, MacLehose just invited everyone to a party, although the real purpose didn't say a word, but everyone is a human spirit, who can not tell?

It's not been a few days now, and I'm going to the mainland in a blink of an eye, which will offend people, and maybe the family business will be affected.

Huo Yingdong said: "I know what you think, everyone's itinerary to the mainland this time is absolutely confidential, and if you are interested in investing, it depends on your own wishes whether you announce the news or not." ”

Bao Yugang smiled beside him: "No problem, I Bao Yugang agreed!"

"I'm okay!" Li Jiacheng and Hu Yingxiang expressed their attitudes one after another.
