392 Hongmen Banquet (2)
(The previous chapter was blocked~ depressed, who is so boring, what good is it for you to report my street book?)
Xu Zhi turned his head, saw the familiar glasses frame at a glance, and said with a smile: "Li Sheng, I didn't expect you to come here too." ”
The person who came was none other than Comrade Li of Changjiang Industrial, and with his obvious tendency to go to the mainland, he would not have imagined that he would be invited by Youde to come over.
Li Jiacheng laughed softly: "I didn't want to come, but the first and second people in the Hong Kong Governor's Office sent an invitation together, and I can't do it if I don't come." ”
"That's just as well. "As long as you mix in Xiangjiang, even if you don't agree with the two above, but the basic face still has to be given, and the same as within the business world, even if there is a struggle, you have to come in the dark, on the bright side, everyone is informal, heroic and uninhibited best friends, otherwise, tearing your face is not good for everyone.
Li Jiacheng said: "I heard that Tin Shui Wai has been very lively recently, Xu Sheng is really a big plan, and he has been preparing for this matter a few years ago." ”
"In many cases, there is an element of gambling in business investment, and if you win, you will naturally gain something. Xu Zhi said with a smile.
Li Jiacheng nodded and said: "But there will be risks in investment, reasonable control of risks, and recovering costs at the right time is also the most important step in risk control, I don't know if Xu Sheng can agree?"
Xu Zhi asked, "What does Li Sheng mean?"
Li Jiacheng said: "I hope to be able to buy a part of the land in Tin Shui Wai from Xu Sheng, and we will develop it together in the future, first, Xu Sheng can recover part of the original cost as soon as possible, and second, Xu Sheng is also the major shareholder of Cheung Kong Industrial, Cheung Kong will also benefit from it, and the third is that everyone can work together to concentrate everyone's resources to develop the value of Tin Shui Wai." ”
At that time, Tin Shui Wai was almost disliked by all real estate companies, although the area was large enough, but the location was remote and the transportation was inconvenient, so it was China Resources that Han Han who came from the mainland dared to take over the project.
Although Li Jiacheng also took a stake in the company, he was only a minority shareholder, and to a greater extent he was just befriending China Resources and the mainland government behind it, and his main focus at that time was to buy Hutchison from HSBC, so he did not care about the development plan in Tin Shui Wai.
And the follow-up battle with Huang broke out, and the shares of Tin Shui Wai were also sold to Xu Zhi, and Li Jiacheng naturally would not pay attention to the affairs of Tin Shui Wai anymore.
Until the last year, before the former governor MacLehose left office, announced that the Hong Kong government had formally agreed to the development of Tin Shui Wai, intending to rebuild a new town that will have a population of 500,000 people in the future, and at the same time, several major companies under Xu Zhi also announced plans for the Tin Shui Wai Industrial Zone, which plans to build several large-scale modern factories and directly recruit at least 20,000 employees.
20,000 direct employees can lead to 50,000 or more indirect jobs to a certain extent, so the plan of 500,000 new towns is very likely to succeed.
Last year, when this plan first came out, all the real estate businessmen were very angry about the land in Tin Shui Wai, but then the land price began to fall, and when the iron lady wrestled into a political crisis, everyone was too busy to take care of themselves, how could they have the energy to seek other land.
"How big area does Li Sheng want?" Xu Zhi did not directly refuse, because he wanted to know how ambitious Li Jiacheng was.
Li Jiacheng said: "50 hectares, 500 million Hong Kong dollars, what does Xu Sheng think about the price? ”
"The price is indeed okay, but I have no plans to sell the land in Tin Shui Wai. Xu Zhi shook his head and refused, he spent almost 1 billion Hong Kong dollars in cash to acquire the entire Tin Shui Wai area, without considering inflation, and at this moment, he could recover half of the cost by selling one-tenth of the total area of land.
From a risk control point of view, this is indeed a good business, but Xu Zhike knows the future trend, and in another five years, when the housing prices in Central and its vicinity rise to the point that even the middle class can not afford it, places like Tin Shui Wai will become the best choice for people.
In the original history, Tin Shui Wai basically had no commercial facilities, inconvenient transportation, and no local employment opportunities, under such conditions, Li Ka Cheng was able to make a net profit of tens of billions of Hong Kong dollars from a piece of land with a total area of only 38.5 hectares.
In this life, Tin Shui Wai will become a new town, able to be self-sufficient, forming a virtuous business cycle, Xu Zhi provides hundreds of thousands of people with jobs, housing, commercial facilities, financial services, etc., and at the same time convenient for this group, he can also obtain huge benefits for himself.
Li Jiacheng was not surprised by the rejection, and asked: "Xu Sheng, the layout of this series of development Tin Shui Wai you designed is very admirable, but I can clearly say that it is difficult to develop such a large project by relying on you alone. ”
"Perhaps, but that's also in the future, in the short term, I haven't sold any land in Tin Shui Wai. Xu Zhi said.
Li Jiacheng asked: "What does Xu Sheng mean that he will still sell part of the land in the future?"
"It's possible, but that's a few years or even a decade away, and there's no point in talking about it now. Xu Zhi shook his head and said. Tin Shui Wai is close to 5 square kilometers of land, such a large area, it is unlikely that all projects are developed by themselves, and the appropriate part is released, one can form an alliance of interests with some people, and the second is that you can use other people's resources to strengthen the popularity and economy of the entire Tin Shui Wai, as long as you can ensure that you can take the big head, it is also necessary to give some allies a little broth.
Li Jiacheng said with a smile: "It's a pity, I was going to cooperate with Xu Sheng again." ”
Xu Zhi asked: "I heard that the performance of Changjiang Industrial has not been good recently, the stock price has fallen a lot, and there have been rumors in the market for a long time, but today it seems that Li Sheng's funds are still very abundant!"
Although Li Jiacheng has speculated on the arrival of the real estate crisis before because of his backing on the mainland, it does not mean that he can completely sit back and relax, the entire real estate industry has fallen into a downturn, and no matter how well Cheung Kong is prepared, it will also be affected by the general environment, after all, a large number of real estate can not be sold, and there is no one to rent commercial shops, this situation is now all over Xiangjiang, and even Xu Zhi's several rent-collecting properties have been affected.
"Cheung Kong has been affected, but if it comes across the right investment, as long as it is in line with the company's long-term development strategy, I don't care if it increases debt. Li Jiacheng said with a smile.
