"Never immigrate!"

This is the front page of the Ming Pao newspaper, the font is black and bold, which is very conspicuous, and under the font is a photo of Xu Zhi at the press conference.

"HK$2.5 billion: the largest return on overseas investment in Hong Kong's history. ”

This is the first page of Ta Kung Pao newspapers, turning the first page, is an article about the process of Hutchison Whampoa's investment, including the initial financing introduction, overseas investment in GE, GE's development process in two years, etc., at the end of the article, also briefly introduced the development process of Hutchison Whampoa.

"New HK$20 billion investment plan? Who will profit from it?" is the headline of the Hong Kong Economic Weekly, although Xu Zhi did not say the specific investment plan and location, but the news revealed is that the direction of investment is mainly to build a large number of new properties.

This is also in line with the situation of the economy of Hong Kong, except for real estate, no other type of project can bear so much money, even if the current real estate market is not good, but the effect of 20 billion can only affect some areas.

The Hong Kong Economic Journal article does not speculate on the areas that may be invested in as other newspapers and periodicals, and focuses on the impact of several large-scale projects that may be about to start on the people at the bottom of Hong Kong.

……

In an office building in Tsim Sha Tsui, Hong Kong, two middle-aged men in their forties and fifties sat opposite each other, drinking tea and looking at dozens of newspapers on the desk in front of them.

"When I finally finished reading it, my eyes were almost dry. The middle-aged man with black short sleeves threw down a newspaper and rubbed the bridge of his nose in the middle of his eyes.

"It's okay to do it, Lao Yu, now that these newspapers have begun to carry out positive publicity, the two of us can finally breathe a sigh of relief. The person next to him said with a smile.

"Yes, Lao Shen, it's finally a little easier, you said this Xu Zhi, when will you not invest, you have to go to the United States to buy Disney at this time, and our work is really passive!"

The two of them are the first and second in command of the Xinhua News Agency living in the mainland, and the recent Sino-British negotiations have caused serious economic problems in Xiangjiang, and many people have begun to emigrate on a large scale, which has put a lot of pressure on the mainland government in terms of public opinion, and the Xinhua News Agency, an organization that naturally bears the brunt of the problem, needs to be solved on the front line.

It's just that ordinary people emigrate, but some influential celebrities and rich people have always been the objects of their united front, and their work was okay originally, but Xu Zhi's acquisition of Disney still caused a lot of fluctuations in Xiangjiang, and it was not until now that the other party publicly expressed its position that the pressure of public opinion was reduced.

"Okay, don't complain, our job is to solve these troubles and disputes, if every capitalist in this Xiangjiang listens to us, then you think too beautifully. Lao Shen said with a smile: "Xu Zhi is not bad, I heard that more than a month ago, he personally wrote a letter to the central government, I don't know what the content of the letter is, during this time, the above has always stated that it respects the normal business behavior of Xiangjiang businessmen, which is already a great support."

It's just that a bunch of media on the British side fanned the flames and spread rumors everywhere, which made people panic in Xiangjiang recently. ”

"Hahaha, that's our job. Lao Yu said with a smile: "But this Xu Zhi is really rich, first spent 2 billion US dollars in the United States, and now he wants to go to Xiangjiang to invest 20 billion Hong Kong dollars, how much money does this have." ”

"This is called a rich country, and last year's foreign exchange reserves of the country were only about 2 billion US dollars, so if so much money could be used in the country, how good it would be. Lao Shen seemed to be a little sad and said.

Because of the lack of foreign exchange, the mainland for foreign exchange control is very strict, by the unified management of the state, Xinhua News Agency is located in Xiangjiang, the usual consumption needs Hong Kong dollars, this is also foreign exchange, many times, they also try to save all kinds of unnecessary consumption for the country, in the capacity of the two of them, as long as they do not represent the country to some occasions, under normal circumstances, they are walking or taking public transportation by themselves, in order to save fuel costs.

Of course, the foreign exchange reserve of 2 billion US dollars does not mean that the country only has 2 billion US dollars of foreign exchange, this is only a surplus statistics of the trade surplus data generated by imports and exports every year, in fact, even in the poorest 80s now, the total annual import and export of the mainland is as high as tens of billions of dollars. As long as the mainland government is willing, it is not difficult to mobilize billions of dollars, but at present, the country needs too many places for foreign exchange, so it is overstretched.

Lao Yu thought for a while, and then said: "Old Shen, now that a large number of newspapers in Xiangjiang have begun to change their tone, shouldn't we go and visit that person, and besides, didn't we also receive a task just now, if Xu Zhiken helps, this is the best of both worlds?"

"Okay, you go and inform Xu Zhi first, and we will make a special trip to visit him tomorrow. Lao Shen thought about it, nodded and agreed.

……

In another place, in the Xiangjiang Hutchison Building, Xu Zhi held a small meeting with Wang Liming, Ma Shimin, He Guoyuan and others.

Xu Zhi had just finished reading a bunch of newspapers, stretched his waist, and said with a smile: "This group of media finally stopped reporting on the acquisition of Disney." ”

"This can only be said that our plan has succeeded. Wang Liming said with a smile.

Xu Zhi's acquisition of Disney did cause a lot of negative impact in Xiangjiang, and during that time, Xu Zhi was in the United States, and a bunch of reporters in Xiangjiang could not find Xu Zhi, so they began to frequently harass Wang Liming, Yao Mingcheng and other top managers.

Fortunately, for the sake of safety, Xu Zhi has already accompanied his subordinates and family members with enough bodyguards, and while protecting safety, he can also avoid being harassed by some inconsequential people, which plays a very important role at this time.

The investment of 20 billion Hong Kong dollars is enough to attract the attention of ordinary people in Hong Kong, a large number of consortia and even the Hong Kong government.

"How's the negotiation with the Hong Kong government?" Xu Zhi then asked.

Ma Shimin said: "The Hong Kong government still did not agree to our price, and they still insisted on the offer of 1 billion Hong Kong dollars. ”

"In this environment, it would be good for me to make a large-scale investment, and this group of people still want to make a lot of money for land change as before, which is really not enough to swallow the elephant. Xu Zhi smiled and shook his head.

The HK$20 billion investment plan is mainly based on Hutchison, and Hutchison's main investment project is the land at the old wharf in Hung Hom, with a total area of up to 2 million feet (200,000 square meters), but this land used to be a wharf, and the property is industrial land, according to the law, if you want to change it into commercial or residential land, you need to pay a "land change fee" to the government.

If it was before the real estate crisis, although the location of Hung Hom was average, but such a large area, it still needed to pay the difference of HK$2.8 billion, and the current housing prices in Heung Kong have been cut in half, and Hutchison sent professionals to negotiate with the Hong Kong government to develop the land, and the Hong Kong government's quotation is HK$1.2 billion.

According to the land price, this price is about the same, but Xu Zhi knows that in the original history, Li Jiacheng only made up 390 million Hong Kong dollars, and of course Xu Zhi will not accept this gap.

Hutchison negotiated with the Hong Kong government for a while, but after the Hong Kong government lowered the price to 1 billion, it refused to budge again.

Ma Shimin asked: "Chairman, what is our bottom line?"

Xu Zhidao: "No more than 400 million Hong Kong dollars, this is my bottom line, Evergrande's piece of land, 150 million Hong Kong dollars, but I estimate that the Hong Kong government has not reached the point of exhaustion now, and may not agree." ”

A piece of land in Evergrande is the land located in Hung Hom when Xu Zhi acquired Qingzhou British Mud, this piece of land is also close to the sea, and it is close to the old wharf of Hutchison, and the two can be developed together, so this negotiation with the Hong Kong government also brought this land.

However, the area of this land is only 800,000 square feet (80,000 square meters), but because it is close to the sea and the transportation is convenient, Xu Zhi plans to build the headquarters of Midea and Changxing here.

It's not a commercial center, but it's not a problem for Xu Zhi, even places like Tin Shui Wai can build new towns, and Hung Hom is much stronger.

"If there is no business, then I will build it myself, and the place where I invest is the future golden business center!", this is the motto of the entire Evergrande company.

He Guoyuan said: "Then when will we wait? Midea and Changxing's headquarters construction plan can't be delayed for too long. ”

Xu Zhi said: "Don't worry, from September last year to the present, the Hong Kong government's land auction income has been at least 5 billion Hong Kong dollars less, and there is not even a shadow of Sino-British negotiations. ”

He Guoyuan thought about it and said, "Okay, then listen to the chairman." ”

Xu Zhi smiled and said, "Okay, then that's it, let's go back and get ready, wait a minute, I have to meet two guests!"
