Chapter 313: Unexpected Joy
Principal Huo's attitude was very resolute, to put it simply, this matter was not negotiable at all.
If you want to get a HKU diploma, even if it is an honorary diploma, you have to stay up for a full academic year.
Li Yadong couldn't be too forced, so he could only give up.
Fortunately, according to the study abroad plan, he will stay up for another half a year, even if his merits are complete.
Otherwise, I always have the label of "school student" on my head, and I always feel like I haven't grown up.
The little scalper stayed in school, so he drove home alone, and on the way back to Taiping Mountain, he pondered for a while, should he donate a sum of money to Peking University?
If you talk about his alma mater, HKU is obviously not his alma mater, he has not attended a full week of classes at HKU in the past year, but at Peking University, he has stayed for two and a half years, except for a few days off in the middle, he has not missed a class.
For Peking University, he always has some feelings, and Yan Yuan is also full of his footprints, leaving many good memories.
After all, he is a Chinese, and at the moment Hong Kong is still a foreign country, he went to a foreign university to donate a sum of money, but he did not say anything about his alma mater, and it was a little unreasonable to look at it.
Take 10,000 steps back and say, if one day he becomes famous, this kind of favoritism is dug up, and some scheming people take the opportunity to yin him, it is estimated that it will hurt a lot.
He doesn't want to be labeled as a "foreigner".
How patriotic he is, only he knows.
With his net worth and investment in Hong Kong, he could have applied for a Hong Kong ID card a long time ago, but did he do it?
You must know how well a Hong Kong businessman in this era is treated well when he goes to the mainland.
The state openly leans in its policies, and everyone takes it for granted.
There is no other, because Hong Kong businessmen have money and foreign exchange.
And these things are what China urgently needs at the moment.
"Then donate it, and it will have to be much more than Hong Kong. Thinking like this, Li Yadong put this matter on the agenda, thinking about finding an opportunity to send a group of benefits to Peking University.
……
New Year's Day has arrived, and 1987 has finally passed.
1988 arrived.
This year is an extremely important year in China's history, the key point of reform and opening up, the price barrier, the liberalization of private enterprises, China's formal transformation from a planned economy to a market economy. It is also a year that Li Yadong has been looking forward to for a long time.
Needless to say, he will make some big moves this year, not in Hong Kong, but on the mainland.
Although he is in Hong Kong, his heart has always stayed on the mainland.
Jiang Tengfei called, and on the surface, he reported his work, and brought out the data one by one, proving how hard he worked this year and how much money he made for the company.
How could Li Yadong not hear this kid's voice, it was clear that he would fulfill his promise.
He had promised a group of veteran employees that if they did well today, they would be invited to come to Hong Kong at the end of the year.
Obviously, some people can't wait to see the decay of capitalist society.
"Okay, send everyone's identity information, and I will arrange for Ah Long and Ah Hu to apply for passes for you. Send urgent, hurry up, I'll go back to my hometown when it's late. "Li Yadong didn't have a good airway.
"Yes. Jiang Tengfei smiled on the other end of the phone: "Don't worry, Brother Dong, it's a week, it's all right." ”
After hanging up the phone, Li Yadong called the Qi brothers and explained the matter.
Approaching the end of the year, he is really in a hurry to go home, don't run near the New Year, he is not in the mood to serve.
……
Huang Deping fought a tug-of-war with the owners of the two office buildings for half a month, and finally one of them couldn't stand it anymore, and took the initiative to reduce the price by 10 million yuan, asking for an interview with Li Yadong.
Villa living room.
Li Yadong sat on the sofa and flipped through a thick document that recorded the detailed minutes of Huang Deping's 12 meetings with the other party.
"You sorted it out by yourself?" Li Yadong raised his head and asked with a smile.
"Not really. Huang Deping smiled, and said in his heart, you didn't have a secretary for me.
"It seems...... It is necessary to have a secretary for you. Li Yadong pondered.
Huang Deping is a great talent, he shouldn't waste time sorting out copywriting, after a period of contact, Li Yadong sees all the abilities of this person.
even exceeded his expectations, a proper candidate for the company's bar.
"That's the best, it saves a lot of time, and I can use the extra time to do more important things. Huang Deping nodded, but he didn't refuse.
"Okay, you can find your own candidates, and say hello to Sister Lan later. ”
"Okay. ”
This document is very detailed, the other party is the owner of the property in Central, a foreigner, the earlier price was 480 million, Huang Deping grinded tofu like grinding 20 million, and the other party took the initiative to make 10 million, and the current price is 450 million Hong Kong dollars.
This price has actually reached Li Yadong's psychological price, but since he is a foreigner, take advantage of his illness and ask for his life, who will he kill if he doesn't kill him?
When he decided to come to Hong Kong earlier, Li Yadong thought about it, and he wanted to cut some fat from the British, but he never got the opportunity, the last time he sniped at the hotel, he intended to help Liu Luanxiong, but unfortunately the guy didn't understand what he meant, and he didn't withdraw, and this time he finally caught an opportunity.
After reading all the information, he had a general understanding of the progress of this matter and the attitude of the other party, and Li Yadong stood up.
"Let's go, inspect the goods. ”
"Yes, boss. ”
Huang Deping drove Li Yadong all the way to Central Financial Street.
Needless to say, the building on Financial Street is strategically located facing Victoria Harbour and not far from the towering HSBC Tower and the Bank of China Tower under construction.
The location of this building is much better than that of the Harbor Building, although Li Yadong knew it before, but today is the first time to come here.
The height of 28 floors is not very high, but it will not look particularly short, after all, the HSBC Tower is only 46 floors, and the 72-storey Bank of China Tower has not yet been built, and the 88-story International Financial Center has not yet risen from the ground in this era.
"Huh?"
Suddenly thought of something, Li Yadong didn't rush into the door after getting out of the car, but ran to the street in front of him, looked left and right for a while, and made Huang Deping wonder.
"It's a dog, it can't be such a coincidence, right?"
Li Yadong looked around for a long time, and his eyes became wider and wider.
To further confirm that he was not mistaken, he crossed the road and ran all the way to the concrete road near Victoria Harbour, leaning against the railing, staring at the office building in front of him, raising his hands and gesturing vigorously.
Huang Deping was confused, and ran over panting, seeing him move like this, he asked weakly, "Boss, are you looking at some feng shui?"
Hong Kong people believe in the theory of feng shui, the richer the person, the more so, so that before building a house or buying a house, you must ask a feng shui master to check it.
Originally, Huang Deping thought that the boss was from the mainland, and he may not have paid attention to this aspect, but at this time, seeing him looking mysterious and comparative, he guessed that he was afraid of some kind of trick to see feng shui in the mainland.
"Wind you...... Well, yes, I'm looking at Feng Shui. Li Yadong really didn't want to explain his behavior to him.
Any idea what he's looking at?
Or did he find something?
Li Yadong has been to this place in his previous life, and two thousand years later, he came to travel, and at that time, standing in his current position, at a glance, what stood opposite was not this 28-story Grade A office building, but ...... The 88-storey Hong Kong financial centre.
Also known as IFC.
It will be the tallest building in Hong Kong for a long time to come, until it is replaced by another property owned by the same owner, the fourth uncle, Lee Chiu-kei, Sun Hung Kai Properties, the International Commerce Centre in Kowloon.
However, the 118-storey ICC replaces IFC's height, but it cannot replace its value.
IFC is one of the highest renting buildings in the world.
The so-called rent is the first in the world, not its rental price, but the rental income of the holder.
If Li Yadong is not mistaken, in the last year of his memory, that is, in 2018, the rent of IFC was as high as 1,800 yuan per square meter, and the above-mentioned International Commerce Centre, although it is the tallest building in Hong Kong, the rent is only 900 yuan per square meter, which is half cheaper.
The entire IFC building has a rental area of 436,000 square meters, with less than 500 square meters of free space, which can be said to have a very high occupancy rate.
As we all know, the rent king in the mainland is Wanda.
As of 2018, Wanda has nearly 300 Wanda Plazas across the country, with a total rental income of $25.5 billion.
And do you know what the rental income of this building was in the same year, IFC Building?
Billion.
Yes, you read that right, a whole 10 billion, and not in Hong Kong dollars, but in yuan!
You must know that in the future, the tallest building in the mainland, located in the Ping'an Center of Pengcheng, will only have a total investment of only 20 billion.
In other words, this IFC is worth the income of more than 100 Wanda Plazas, and two years of rent can build a safe center!
The word horror is not enough to describe its speed of gold absorption.
When Wang Wanda came to Hong Kong in his early years, he once sighed that he must buy a building in Zhongbad Financial Street in his lifetime, but unfortunately, as far as Li Yadong knew, until he had braided his hair in his previous life, Wang Wanda failed to do so.
Because thirty years from now, no one will sell the property here, and whoever sells it will be a fool.
With the cornucopia of IFC, you can imagine how cool and crooked the fourth uncle Li Zhaoji is.
Everyone in the world knows that Li Chaoren is rich and the richest man in Asia, but judging from what Li Yadong has seen and heard in Hong Kong this year, I am afraid that it may not be.
Li Zhaoji is extremely low-key, and his wealth on the surface is almost the same as Li Chaoren, but he still has a "Zhaojing Finance Company" that is not much reported on hand.
Li Yadong had read a post on the Internet that was deleted in seconds, revealing that this company has 200 billion invisible assets.
Liu Luanxiong once said that most of Hong Kong's rich people are underestimated.
And whether Li Chaoren has invisible wealth or not, outsiders also don't know.
So, who is the real richest man in Asia, in fact, it's really hard to say.
What we ordinary people can see is only the tip of the iceberg after all.
