Chapter 460: The Chance of the Unfinished Building

……

"It's just normal business practices!" Guo Shouyun said.

"Indeed, but your reputation in the financial industry is too great, and many people regard your investment as a sign of the recovery of Hong Kong's real estate industry, especially major real estate companies!"

"Does that include Changshi?"

"Of course!"

Guo Shouyun smiled faintly, "So I can be regarded as contributing to Hong Kong's economic stability... But as far as I know, not everyone is optimistic about my investment, and there are quite a few people like Liu Softxiong who advocate that I will be a leader in the Hong Kong real estate industry!"

"Of course, personal grievances can't be a fair evaluation! But, Bruce, it seems that you are really very optimistic about Huaxia's real estate. In addition to the private equity real estate fund of GCA Group, two companies have been set up one after another: Global Fund and Global Real Estate!"

Guo Shouyun's heart moved, "Brother Zeju, there is something in the words!"

"Brother Guo, I really can't hide anything from you!" After a pause, "I don't know if Brother Guo has heard of the Zhongyu Mansion in the capital!"

"Zhongyu Building?

"Zhongyu Building is a high-quality 5A grade A office building, located at No. 6, Gongti North Road, Chao~Yang District, Beijing. It is adjacent to the first and second embassy districts, and intersects with CBD and Lufthansa business districts. The building covers a total area of 7,497 square meters, with a total construction area of 58,000 square meters, of which the office building area is 53,000 square meters, with a height of nearly 100 meters, making it the highest office building in the surrounding business district. ”

Speaking of this, Li Zeju changed his words, "However, in the Spring Festival of 2001, Jinfeng Pavilion Company, the contractor of Zhongyu Building, stopped the project due to the rupture of the capital chain. And it has continued to this day without solving the problem of funding. ”

"In other words, Zhongyu Building is an 'unfinished building'?" Guo Shouyun understood.

"Indeed!"

"Brother Zeju, you should understand that although the 'unfinished building' is beneficial, it also means trouble!"

Generally speaking, unfinished buildings are "dead ends" in urban construction, which not only hinder municipal planning, but also affect the city's appearance, and are known as urban "tumors". The revitalized unfinished buildings can not only help the government solve the difficulties of urban construction, but also create jobs and contribute to tax revenue, so the unfinished buildings will usually receive a certain degree of policy support from the government in the process of taking over and selling.

Secondly, most of the unfinished buildings have acquired land relatively early, so the location is relatively good, and many of them are located in the core urban areas of the second and third ring roads. When the available land in the central city is getting less and less, the acquisition of unfinished buildings with "geographical advantages" has become a shortcut for many real estate companies to show their skills in the core urban area.

In addition to saving the cost of "taking land", taking over the "unfinished building" does not need to carry out preliminary work such as applying for construction and laying the foundation, which saves construction costs. Usually the development takes only half a year to a year and a small amount of acquisition and renovation funds, but the rate of return is quite impressive.

'Rag King' Pan Shiyi and 'Unfinished Building Professional' Li VIP basically made their fortunes by speculating in unfinished buildings. However, there are many benefits, and there are also a lot of troubles in unfinished buildings.

The first is the issue of service life. Many unfinished buildings have experienced a few years or more than ten years from the acquisition of land to the completion of the land to the re-entry into the market, in which the land use period is constantly shrinking, and the interests of buyers are also constantly being infringed. In this case, the resale of unfinished buildings becomes a problem.

In addition, many unfinished buildings have been silent for a long time, and the sun and rain will inevitably cause varying degrees of damage to the building, and the later construction may cost a lot of money. Therefore, if it is not possible to accurately estimate the problems and difficulties that will be faced by taking over the project, the resurrected unfinished building is likely to die again. Moreover, because of the backward design of unfinished buildings, the housing prices are much lower than the surrounding high-quality real estate properties, and there are many 'buildings', and they will also face the problem of sales and income under the competition.

Finally, the current economics believes that the trend of unfinished buildings is a weather vane of the current property market trend. When unfinished buildings are eliminated, it means the arrival of the 'fat' period of real estate, and it also means that a new crisis is brewing, and then a new round of unfinished buildings is generated. If you can't have an accurate judgment of the market trend, you may not get the benefits of rashly stepping in, and you will fold yourself.

"Of course there are troubles, but mainly financial problems. I have already tested the quality of the engineering of Zhongyu Building, and there is no problem. It was built in 97 years, 44 years before its 50-year service life. As for the market movement, I think you are more confident than I am. ”

After thinking about it briefly, Guo Shouyun said, "Do you have its detailed address? I am not too familiar with the capital." ”

"I've already sent you the map and some of the information of Zhongyu Building, you can take a look at it now!"

"Wait!"

Guo Shouyun took his mobile phone and turned on the computer, and sure enough, he found a piece of information sent to him by Li Zeju in his mailbox.

"Sanlitun?"

"Zhongyu Building is in Sanlitun!"

Although Guo Shouyun is very unfamiliar with the capital, Sanlitun is absolutely thunderous. The street photography beauties on Sohu, NetEase, Sina and other websites are basically from this place. Moreover, looking at Li Zejufa's map, Zhongyu Building is next to the International Trade Center and Dongzhimen business district, and it is definitely the core of the core of Sijiu City.

"Brother Zeju, your Li family is not short of money, how can you think of pulling me with such a good place?"

"There is no shortage of money before, but now because of SARS, Hong Kong's housing prices, which have been depressed for six years, have completely collapsed. The board hopes to be able to buy back shares to stabilize investors' confidence in Cheung Kong and Hutchison. Coupled with the previous cooperation with Anping and Universal Studios, the Li family's capital chain has also become tight. ”

After understanding, Guo Shouyun continued: "How do you want to cooperate?"

"I can give all the rights and interests of Zhongyu Building to Brother Guo!"

"Give it all to me?" Guo Shouyun said in surprise.

"Not bad. But I have one condition!"

"This is normal!" Guo Shouyun said in his heart. With his understanding of Li Zeju, he is not the kind of person who sacrifices his own interests to fulfill others.

"On what terms?"

"The reconstruction project of Zhongyu Building was entrusted to us Cheung Kong Industrial. ”

"You toss this project, and you only want construction work?"

"Brother Guo should be aware of the current situation in the Hong Kong property market. In addition, the real estate development in the mainland is too fast, and the real estate prices in the first and second-tier cities have exceeded the local average salary by more than twice the local average salary, which has led to the real estate market being over-exuberant. As a result, the Board of Directors has decided to suspend real estate investment in Hong Kong and the Mainland. ”

Guo Shouyun nodded knowingly. The biggest difference between Hong Kong real estate companies and mainland China is the way they develop real estate. Similar to Evergrande and Country Garden, dozens of projects can be developed a year, and they can be developed quickly. Hong Kong's Cheung Kong, Wharf, New World, etc., prefer to win six or seven good properties, and then the first, second, third, and fourth phases will be developed for ten years, or even longer. The former pursues scale and wins by quantity. The latter is more about enjoying the dividends of real estate growth in different periods, which is somewhat similar to the concept of buying a house to appreciate and then selling.

After Guo Shouyun thought about it briefly, "I need to read the information of Zhongyu Building before I can give you the answer!"

"Yes, I'll wait for you... By the way, are you going back to the capital?"

"I was still hesitating to go back again, but with you, it seems that I don't have to hesitate!"

"Hehe, it looks like we can get together in the capital once!"

"I'll call you when I get back!"

"Okay, wait for your news!"

After chatting briefly, after hanging up the phone, Guo Shouyun quickly called Xing Zhiping, CEO of Hanhua Trust.

"Lao Xing, where are you now?"

"Pengcheng!"

"Lishui Fangyuan has started?"

Guo Shouyun quickly thought of three mainland real estate projects that Global Fund had cooperated with Cheung Kong Asset.

"Well, it just started yesterday morning!"

"How?"

"Cheung Kong is a veteran real estate developer, and he is very skilled in various businesses, and there is no problem. ”

"That's good... Now you put down your other work and go to the capital. ”

"Beijing?"

"Well, Li Zeju recommended to me an unfinished building called 'Zhongyu Building', which looks very good. You can do a field trip for me, and by the way, inquire about the actual situation of this project. By the way, my information about this project has been sent to your mailbox, so you can take a look at it then!"

"Okay, I'll be ready to go!"

"Remember to notify me if there is news!"

"Yes!"

After hanging up the phone, Guo Shouyun sent a copy of the information that Li Zeju had sent to him to Xing Zhiping's mailbox, and then sat in front of the computer and read it slowly.

Time passed imperceptibly, and the sky outside the window gradually darkened.

"Jingle bell...!"

The sudden ringing of the phone interrupted Guo Shouyun's work. When he picked it up and looked at the caller ID, he couldn't help but pat his forehead, "I almost forgot!"

After quickly pressing the answer button, Martin Alexander's hearty voice came.

"Bruce, I'm off work. Which hotel are you in, I'll drive to find you. ”

"No need, I'll go find you!"

"Are you familiar with Tanzhou?"

Listening to his natural tone, Guo Shouyun felt quite strange in his heart. But, despite this, he is really not as familiar with Tanzhou as Martin.

"I'm at the Grand Hyatt, come on!"

"Okay, I'm not far from there, in about twenty minutes. ”

"Call me when it's time!"

"See you later!"

"See you later!"

After hanging up the phone, Guo Shouyun slowly shook his head. After turning off the computer, I picked up the jacket next to me and put it on and walked out.
