Chapter 397 Global Real Estate

……

"I've read your report, it's very good. However, I have a few questions that I hope you will be able to answer. ”

"Speak!"

Guo Shouyun nodded, "First, how do you judge that the real estate market in Huaxia will continue to grow in the next ten years? You must know that your competitors generally believe that the real estate in the mainland of Huaxia is too hot at present, and land kings are frequent. Housing prices in first- and second-tier cities have exceeded the average white-collar monthly salary by more than double or more. Therefore, in three to five years at most, a 'Japanese-style real estate bubble' will be staged and eventually lead to a downturn in the entire industry!"

"Changes in property prices are closely related to the country's economy. The main criteria for judging the quality of a country's economy include: gross national assets, investment in fixed assets, disposable income, consumer price index, total foreign trade, stock market, and other major aspects. ”

"In the past decade, China's GDP has increased fourfold, from 493.1 billion yuan in '92 to 14,705 in 2002, with an average growth rate of more than 12%. The total investment in fixed assets has increased from 521.7 billion Huaxia dollars in '92 to 3,691.7 billion Huaxia dollars now, an increase of seven times! Residents' disposable income has increased from 830 Huaxia dollars in '92 to 12,037 Huaxia dollars now, an increase of 15 times. The consumer price index, total foreign trade, total stock market, investment in industrial assets, and urban and rural income and expenditure have all increased by more than 10 times. ”

"In contrast, the price of real estate in Huaxia, since the real estate bubble in Hai~Nan, has entered a six-year downturn. It was not until '98 that growth resumed. Four years on, this is still a huge seller's market relative to the tens of millions of new residents who flock to the city every year. It's too early to talk about collapse. In fact, in my opinion, as long as the Chinese economy continues to develop, this market will not collapse. And now the Chinese economy is in full swing, not only does it not show any signs of collapse, but because of the recovery of the world economy, it is developing faster. ”

Guo Shouyun nodded, looked at this confident woman, and smiled: "You know that the theory of the collapse of Huaxia is very popular in the West now, especially after Huaxia entered the market. Even many domestic economists believe that entering the market will hit China's local manufacturing industry and cause economic collapse. ”

"Nope. I don't think so. China's accession to the WTO has lowered import tariffs on some of China's industrial products, but what it has gained is its participation in the formulation of WTO trade rules and a fairer international trade environment. This is good for the country's exports. As for Huaxia's industry, most of them are low-end industries that have been abandoned by developed countries, and Huaxia has obtained a faster development rate at lower prices and in a fairer trade environment by virtue of its advantageous industrial population. The past experience of South Korea, Taiwan, Hong Kong, and Singapore has proven its correctness. ”

"When enough capital and technology are accumulated, as well as a higher level of skilled workers, the industry will naturally climb upstream. This will change the quality of China's economy and improve security. … From low-end industry to mid-to-high-end, this is a transformation process that will take at least 20 years. China's economy will enter a golden age!" Tang Wenfang said in a deep voice.

"I didn't expect you to be so confident in Huaxia's future?" Guo Shouyun said with a smile after a moment of silence.

"People can be dressed as a mirror, and history can be used as a mirror to know the rise and fall. Judging from the 5,000-year history of China, as long as the domestic political situation remains stable, our economy will continue to move forward no matter how external changes occur. And now, it is the most stable period in the more than 50 years since the founding of Huaxia. So, I have full confidence in the future of the country. ”

"So the economy is stable, and the future of real estate is also worth looking forward to?"

"Yes!"

Guo Shouyun nodded, "Second, why would you suggest that in addition to the apartments and commercial properties in the central city, you should also buy more industrial warehouses?"

"At a time when the real estate industry is growing rapidly, apartments and commercial properties in the central city are the fastest in terms of value-added. They also have the strongest ability to retain value if they enter a downturn. As for industrial warehouses, economic development will increase the demand for storage space in all walks of life. In addition, as the city grows, what was originally a suburban area becomes an urban area. Therefore, the suburbs of today's first- and second-tier cities have a very large investment value. But if you simply hoard land, there is a risk of being repossessed by the city government. Running a factory, too cumbersome. Therefore, industrial warehouses have become the best choice. It occupies a large area, the operation is simple, and the rental can gradually recover the cost, and the most important thing is that once the surrounding land price rises, we get several times more than ten times the income. ”

"Looks like you're thinking long-term!"

"Because the boss needs a long-term development strategy!" Tang Wenfang said neither humbly nor arrogantly.

"Not bad!" Guo Shouyun nodded in agreement, "Third, why do you think that the current real estate investment should not only consider the first and second tier cities, but also include the third and fourth tier major cities?"

"Because the stage of rapid growth of a market is limited. When the real estate market in the first and second tiers grows up, it is natural that funds will sink to the third and fourth tier cities. Although due to many factors such as politics, economy, and industry, the price and potential of real estate in third- and fourth-tier cities will not be as high as in first- and second-tier cities. However, the corresponding land transfer prices in third- and fourth-tier cities are also relatively lower. From a revenue perspective, the difference between the two is not huge. ”

"In addition, domestic and foreign consortia are now eyeing first- and second-tier cities with greater potential, various interest groups are intertwined, and the entanglement between the government and the private sector is bottomless. In comparison, the competition in third- and fourth-tier cities is slightly smaller. Moreover, they often lack foreign investment, so companies like us will be more welcome and will provide some help in terms of policies. ”

Guo Shouyun nodded, and after a moment of silence, "It seems that you have a lot of research on real estate in the mainland of China." ”

"Thank you for the compliment. However, many of my friends think that I am overly optimistic about the future of the real estate industry in the mainland. ”

"People often lack deep thinking. On the contrary, it is the real truth that summarizes the experience of a few elites. That's why I'm asking you to meet. … Congratulations, Ms. Tang Wenfang, you will be the CEO of Universal Realty from today onwards. ”

Looking at the hand stretched out in front of him, Tang Wenfang's eyes jumped violently, desperately suppressed the excitement in his heart, and after taking a deep breath, he stretched out his right hand with a slight tremor and shook it.

"Thanks... Thank you. I will live up to your expectations!"

"I trust my own vision and I trust your judgment. After a pause, "Please be seated, I would like to explain to you about the investment strategy of Global Real Estate." ”

"Yes, please!"

Guo Shouyun nodded, "First of all, I agree with your judgment. However, although I am interested in Huaxia real estate. However, there is not much interest in real estate development, and I set up Global Realty with only one main purpose: to buy established apartments and commercial properties for rent, and use the rental income plus mortgage to buy more apartments and commercial properties. From this point of view, there are two types of business in Global Real Estate: first, real estate agency. Second, the maintenance of the property. In the short term, we will only develop in first- and second-tier cities. In addition, my expectation for Global Real Estate is that it can become the largest 'charter leader' in China and even in the world. ”

"For global real estate investments, I basically maintain a minimum of $20 million per month, and of course it may be higher. If you are the reason to be her CEO, your monthly salary is 100,000 Huaxia yuan after tax. After three years, you will be rewarded with 1~2% options based on your contribution to the company. … That's all I have to say, if you think it's okay, I can have someone draft an employment contract. ”

After a pause, Guo Shouyun's face was filled with thought. If you just buy and rent a house, it feels like a waste of Tang Wenfang's talent in this industry.

"I appreciate your expectations and assessment of the real estate industry. So, if you are satisfied with my operational performance within a year, I can hand over my 'real estate development' investment business in Huaxia to you. … Don't underestimate this part of the business, it's not inferior to my investment in Global Properties. ”

"Thank you for your trust, I am very honored to be in this position!"

Tang Wenfang thought about it briefly and nodded quickly.

"I'm sure you won't regret your decision today. ”

I recruited the staff next to me and asked GCA's lawyer to draft an employment contract. After Tang Wenfang signed, she officially became the CEO of Global Real Estate.

The CEO of Global Real Estate was determined, and Guo Shouyun was also relieved of a matter on his mind. Just as he was about to attend the charity dinner of the Hong Kong government in the evening, Liu Ruoxiong, who had been forgotten about it, called.

"Mr. Guo, three days have passed, and you seem to have forgotten your agreement with me?"

"Mr. Liu misunderstood, in fact, I was about to call you. But I never thought you were one step ahead. ”

"In this way, Mr. Guo and I still have a very tacit understanding. But what is your final decision when it comes to collaboration...?"

"I'm sorry, but I don't have much interest in the Hong Kong real estate market. So I can only live up to Mr. Liu's kindness!" Guo Shouyun said directly.

"Mr. Kwok, don't you think about it again? The sluggish housing prices caused by the Asian financial crisis in '97 have passed, and the future of Hong Kong's real estate market is bright!"

"I hope to cooperate with Mr. Liu in other aspects in the future, I have no interest in Hong Kong real estate. ”

"Well, since Mr. Guo insists on refusing, then I won't say anything more. I hope to have the opportunity to cooperate with Mr. Guo in the future. ”

"Okay, goodbye!"

Before Guo Shouyun's words fell, the other side had already hung up the phone. Frowning slightly, he shook his head after feeling that he was being neglected, and he didn't take it to heart. Liu Ruoxiong is just a passerby to himself.

"Boss, your clothes!"

After taking the coat handed by Matthew, he put it on, and left the house with him.

2 Tim Mei Road, the seat of the Hong Kong Government.

The charity dinner is obviously not only Guo Shouyun who has been invited. By the time he arrived, there had already been a lot of people gathered here. However, more than 99% are unfamiliar, and the only two familiar ones are Li Zeju and Zheng Haiquan. Needless to say, the former is when he gave a speech at Chinese University in Hong Kong, and the two sides had a brief exchange, which is not too familiar. Therefore, naturally, he walked towards Li Zeju.

However, as the eldest son of the Li family and the heir of the future Changshi and the Hehuang consortium, Li Zeju will never lack friends by his side.

When he walked over, there were already five people around Li Zeju. Two men and one woman, in terms of temperament, are either rich or expensive.

"Hey, Bruce!"

At the same time that Guo Shouyun saw Li Zeju, the latter also saw him at the same time, so he beckoned his hand five or six meters away.

"I'm relieved to see you. ”

After a brief hug, Guo Shouyun smiled.

"Oh, why?"

"At least one of them can speak, otherwise it will be embarrassing!" As the words fell, Guo Shouyun's gaze shifted to the three people who were looking at him next to him, "Don't you introduce me?"

"I'm preparing... This is Ms. Pansy Ho of Amyco Group, Mr. Cheng Kar-Shun, Director of New World Development Company, and Mr. Wong Man Cheung of JM Manufacturing Company in the United States. ”

"Mr. Guo, we meet again!"

Wang Wenxiang, who was emaciated, took the initiative to stretch out his right hand to Guo Shouyun.

After a brief shake, "Mr. Wang knows me?"

"I don't know, but I'm very good friends with Mr. Cheng Zhengchang of Panda Fast Food. He mentioned Mr. Guo several times, and he praised him every time. I've heard a lot of it, and I'm naturally impressed. And, even without these, with Mr. Guo's achievements in the United States, I am like thunder!"

"I see. Thanks to Mr. Cheng's attention, it's a pity that I have a lot of things to do, and I haven't visited for almost half a year. ”

After a brief greeting, Guo Shouyun's gaze turned to the other two. Needless to say, Cheng Kar-chun is the successor of Cheng Yu-tung, an older generation of Hong Kong entrepreneurs, and the future helmsman of Cheng companies such as Chow Tai Fook Jewellery and New World Development.

He Chaoqiong, the daughter of the gambling king He Hongcang, has the title of 'contemporary Mulan' in Hong Kong and Macao. Although he was kicked out of the He family in his early years, with his superb talent and dedication, he bucked the trend and reversed the trend, not only becoming the successor of his father's Xinde Group, but also becoming the richest woman in Hong Kong and Macao with the shares of MGM 8 years later, with a net worth of more than 3 billion US dollars.

As the saying goes, 'things gather by like, people by groups', low-key forbearance, silently under the aura of his father and the cover of his sharp-edged younger brother, Li Zeju's friends who have worked hard for more than 20 years are also mostly the kind of elites who walk outside the spotlight, have a calm temperament, and are low-key and talented.

"Zeju, since you know Mr. Guo, you should have told me earlier. I've admired Mr. Kwok's business talent for a long time, and I've wanted to visit him for a long time!" said Cheng Kar-chun.

Li Zeju smiled and didn't say anything. With his character, how could such a thing be said everywhere?

"Mr. Zheng is polite, aren't we now acquainted?" Guo Shouyun said with a smile.

"Hehe, Mr. Guo is right. We just have a chance today, so let's have a good talk. ”

After Guo Shouyun nodded, his gaze turned to the woman with a capable temperament next to him.

"Miss He, although I am in the United States, I have long heard of the name of 'contemporary Mulan'. ”

"Mr. Guo is really good at complimenting people, how can my fame be as famous as Mr. Guo's prestige!" He Chaoqiong smiled and shook Guo Shouyun's outstretched right hand.
