170 MacLehose

Xu Zhidao: "As long as Weicheng Company agrees to my conditions, I will naturally have no problem here." ”

Li Jiacheng said: "Xu Sheng, it's a bit too much to ask for 20% of the shares. ”

Xu Zhi shrugged and said: "Then there is no way, there are actually a lot of undeveloped places in Xiangjiang, I don't necessarily have to choose Tin Shui Wai!"

At present, the shares of Weicheng Company are: China Resources 51%, Dabao Real Estate 25%, Cheung Kong 24%, owning a total of 488 hectares of land in Tin Shui Wai.

It is almost close to 5 square kilometers, and you must know that the entire Xiangjiang River is only more than 1,000 square kilometers, which is equivalent to 0.5% of the land of the Xiangjiang River.

Although there will be a real estate crisis in the early 80s, in the past, the Hong Kong government used 2.258 billion Hong Kong dollars to reclaim this land in order to show goodwill to the mainland government, which is a huge amount of money.

After the Hong Kong government reclaimed, it sold 38.5 hectares of the better location to Weicheng Company for 800 million Hong Kong dollars, and later China Resources was unable to develop it, Li Jiacheng took over the project and developed Jiahu Villa, one of the top ten walled villages in Xiangjiang, making a profit of billions of Hong Kong dollars.

This is still because Lao Li just wants to make a fortune and leave, and only one-tenth of the original area, if Xu Zhi now introduces industry, let the Hong Kong government not reclaim this land, and then take advantage of the real estate crisis to get the rest of the shares, then even if he can't get the Hong Kong government's recovery money, but such a large land, with his own industry, in the decade after 85 years, the housing prices in Xiangjiang skyrocketed, and this commercial land will inevitably be more profitable.

Of course, after the 90s, Xiangjiang's industry shrank, but this is not a problem, some labor costs in Europe and the United States are higher than Xiangjiang, but they also have their own industry, as long as they can slowly transform at that time, the entire 5 square kilometers of Tianshuiwei will bring endless profits to Evergrande.

Asking for 20% of the shares is not in vain, Xu Zhi is also willing to pay, but China Resources does not agree, once the introduction of Evergrande, then their own shareholding will be less than 51%, which is completely different for state-owned enterprises, the political significance is completely different.

Li Jiacheng sighed and said: "Xu Sheng, China Resources Company does not agree to reduce its shares, if this is the case, then our shares of Cheung Kong Industrial and Dabao Real Estate will inevitably be seriously diluted." ”

Xu Zhi shrugged his shoulders and said: "Then it's up to you, I only want 20% of the shares, with my joining, Weicheng Company can develop the entire Tianshuiwei, you think it out for yourself!"

Li Jiacheng couldn't help frowning, if Weicheng Company can't introduce enough industry, then the entire project may be abandoned, at present, the only one in Xiangjiang has this ability is the Midea Electronics Group, but the other party insists on asking for shares, in the case of China Resources is unwilling to reduce its shareholding, it can only dilute the equity of Changjiang Industrial and Dabao Real Estate, once this happens, Changjiang Industrial's equity will be reduced to 15%, so that even if Weicheng Company's profit is big, it has little to do with him.

Xu Zhi asked: "Li Sheng is still very optimistic about this project?"

Li Jiacheng nodded: "Of course, the Hong Kong Island and Kowloon areas of Xiangjiang will be full sooner or later, and the population will inevitably shift to other places, although Tin Shui Wai is not the only place, but the advantage is that the land price is cheap, the area is large enough, as long as the traffic problem is solved, there will be development value, but there are big problems in transportation and economy at present, restricting our development." ”

The root of everything is actually the economy, the most taboo thing for a region is not to have its own export-oriented economy, after all, all housing prices, service industries, and consumption are economic cycles, but the most basic source is industry.

Xu Zhi said: "If Li Sheng doesn't want to reduce his shares, then why don't he drive away another person, how about it?"

"Xu Sheng wants to catch Dabao Real Estate out?" Li Jiacheng suddenly understood.

Xu Zhi nodded: "This is the only way, the current project in Tin Shui Wai cannot be developed, Dabao Real Estate has also invested a lot of money, I can buy their shares at a premium, they will not suffer a loss." ”

Xu Zhi had never heard of such a real estate company in later generations, and sent someone to investigate to know that this Dabao real estate is actually only a medium-sized real estate company, and the boss Hu Yingbing is the younger brother of Hu Yingxiang of Hopewell Industry.

Li Jiacheng thought for a while and said, "I can try it!"

Xu Zhi smiled: "Then I hope to hear the good news from Li Sheng as soon as possible." ”

......

The auction soon entered a climax, Xu Zhi occasionally followed a group of people to bid, but the selection was at the beginning, once the price came up, he withdrew, and it was also considered to be involved, the face of the Hong Kong Governor's Mansion still had to be given, but it was impossible to pay, when the last piece of porcelain from the Song Dynasty Palace was sold for 700,000 Hong Kong dollars, the auction items were all over, and many people began to form groups to chat casually.

Just as Xu Zhi was about to mix until the end of the party, Bao Fuda beckoned from a distance, and at the same time said a few words to the governor MacLehose beside him, and several people walked towards Xu Zhi together.

"Your Excellency Governor, this is Xu Zhi, the founder of Midea Electronics Company, and he has been the best Chinese in Hong Kong for decades. The last sentence Bao Fuda said in a very loud voice, which caused many Chinese people in the vicinity to look sideways.

"Mr. Xu Zhi, I like the games developed by your company, especially the Heung Kong Cube, which has increased the popularity of our Heung Kong in the world. MacLehose politely shook hands and greeted.

"Your Excellency the Governor, it is a great honour to have you invited. Xu Zhi smiled and shook MacLehose's hand.

"Xu Sheng, your company is now the banner of our Xiangjiang, but also one of the strongest companies in the economic field, I like industry very much, but also optimistic about the technology industry, I hope that in the future Midea can develop better, make greater contributions to Xiangjiang, if there is any problem, Xu Sheng can come directly to the Hong Kong Governor's Mansion to discuss with me." MacLehose said solemnly, this is actually a statement of support for industry.

Xu Zhi's main business is the export industry, which will not have much conflict of interest in Xiangjiang, and basically make money overseas, so MacLehose can naturally say this, but if it is a real estate company, it has too much to do with the government, and under normal circumstances, high-level officials will not meet with real estate businessmen often, even if there are official channels.

"Thank you, Your Excellency!" was just a kind word on such occasions, but it also showed that it was an acknowledgment of identity.

In Xiangjiang, there are only a handful of people who can directly talk to the Hong Kong Governor, such as: HSBC Jardine Taipan, ship king Bao Yugang, etc., but this time MacLehose spent a lot of time chatting with some ordinary rich people, making it clear that at this critical moment, he wanted to win over more people.
