At the end of the year, the Shatoujiao Development Zone was still a scene of rumbling vehicles and ships.

As Toshiba Electronics was inexplicably squeezed by a mysterious combination of punches, the process of the Xiangji project has also accelerated abruptly, which has caused a lot of shock in the Xiangjiang industry and even the entire East and Southeast Asian industries.

Several major industrial families in Xiangjiang have also accelerated the development progress of the land they have acquired in Sha Tau Kok and Ta Gu Ling, or at least come up with one of the small projects, posing as if they want to accelerate.

Then, the heads of various families also went to this still poor and remote land in person, collecting all kinds of information about Xiangjidian every day, or wanted to seize an opportunity to get together with Gu Biao and Zhang Zhongmou, who inspected the project, to learn the latest inside story.

"I didn't expect that Xiangjidian had really been built to this point, and Gu Biao really made a lot of money. I always thought that this was a disguise, similar to our family cheating the land to develop commercial housing. ”

On the seaside of Sha Tau Kok, there is only three or four floors, the interior decoration is still very simple, and it will be officially opened for at least half a year. The heads of the three major real estate families gathered together to chat about the future of Hong Kong.

And the person who said those words just now was the real estate boss Li.

He obviously lived the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain, and used the industrial management of Xiangjiang to speculate on Gu Ao's previous layout.

After listening to Boss Li's emotion, Boss Zheng of the other family also calculated: "Who said it wasn't - Gu Biao won the industrial land in Shatoujiao, plus the supporting residential land and commercial land in Daguling, in fact, the total cost is less than 100 million US dollars, we are all in this business, and this account can be calculated."

However, I heard that he came from Toshiba's industrial system to dig a complete set of semiconductor processes, from industrial machine tools, a full set of equipment, technical support...... He can't get it without two or three hundred million dollars, right? Is he really doing semiconductors as a serious thing?"

Boss Zheng obviously doesn't know the inside story of the semiconductor market very well, but the total price estimated is not too bad - historically, Zhang Zhongmou returned to Wanwan to engage in TSMC, and the start-up capital spent was about 400 million US dollars, and it was divided into several years. Excluding human resources, land and plants, the cost of technology and equipment accumulation will be so much.

Semiconductors are very expensive, and without a start-up capital of the order of several hundred million dollars, it is impossible to play at all.

After Boss Zheng's account was settled, both Li and Zheng made a new assessment and judgment on Gu Biao's positioning.

However, there are obviously those who do not believe.

For example, Boss Yang of the Yang family, after thinking for a while, retorted while drinking lemon iced tea: "However, I made an opportunity the day before yesterday to meet with Mr. Zhang Zhongmou, who was adjusting the factory at that time. I heard that Gu Biao also got on a thief ship by chance and couldn't get off, and was brought by the Americans through His Excellency Peterson, the former merchant chief.

It is the Americans who do not want to continue to bear the irreplaceable high price of semiconductors after the yen appreciates, so they force Gu Biao to speed up the progress of semiconductor process construction. The Americans don't plan to do this business themselves, they also want to transfer the manufacturing industry to the outside world.

There is a person who said that he robbed and dog-eat-dog so that Americans have a bargain to buy, and of course the Americans are happy to see it happen -- Gu Biao just happened to meet at the right time, and he just happened to catch up with this international situation, and it was difficult to ride a tiger. If you want me to say, at least within ten years, the money Gu Biao invested in Xiangji Power will not be as efficient as speculating in land and real estate. ”

"So that's ......" Li, Zheng and others, who have been afraid of being involved in a big game of chess recently, breathed a sigh of relief.

Boss Li then thought of a question and asked: "Then since Gu Biao was forced by the international forces behind the scenes, he rushed to accelerate the expansion of Xiangjidian." The layout of the land we did in Taguling before is obviously still small. With the newly estimated industrial expansion rate of Sha Tau Kok Development Zone, even if the supporting commercial and residential real estate is increased by two or three percent, it will not lead to a decline in housing prices.

We should find a way to open up the relationship between the Lands Department and the Planning Department, further speed up the planning, and take advantage of the fact that there are no village farm nail households over there, and quickly take down the land that is easy to take......"

At this point, Zheng and Yang each exchanged a look.

Boss Zheng coughed lightly: "That...... If you expand the scope of land acquisition in the planning area, do you still want to share a share of the benefits to Gu Biao? Do you want to take him to play with him?"

Boss Yang hated that iron could not become steel: "Lao Zheng, you are confused, do you think that after the general plan of the development zone runs down, we can get rid of Gu Biao and do not need to give him face anymore?

Even if he doesn't have any money, we have to help provide financing facilities -- you and I are not bad for money, but are you and I qualified to talk and laugh with the former businessmen of the United States? You and I are not even qualified to be used by the Americans' global industrial strategic layout!

At this moment, you still haven't seen Gu Biao's energy? Gu Biao is not only in front of his direct mentor, His Excellency Kissinger, but also has no way to press the seniority, and the others are all with Peterson, Schultz, James Baker, and William Clark, all of which are on the same level.

Can you find a second person on the border of Hong Kong, a person who can talk and laugh with the senior cabinet ministers who have served as nuclear in the past 17 years? Can you also find a second person, a person who the Americans want to use you at the thought of dealing with themselves and other business rivals in Asia? Are you qualified to be used?"

Boss Yang's "past 17 years" is obviously exaggerated, he counted from the beginning of Nixon's coming to power in 69. That is, eight years for Nixon/Ford, four years for Carter in the middle, and another five years for Reagan to do.

Because Kissinger and Peterson all came to the ministerial level in the United States from Nixon's wave in 69, Gu Biao's current connections in the United States can be regarded as two groups of high-level U.S. nuclear supply files spanning more than ten years, and they are intertwined.

was taken by Boss Yang like this, and Boss Zheng, who originally had the idea of "let's earn our own money, anyway, we have parted ways with Gu Biao", had to be silenced immediately.

Yes, Gu Wei's power has once again refreshed their cognition.

Even if these people are knowledgeable and know that Americans are "one president and one courtier", many people who are too angry should not pay too much attention to their energy and residual heat.

However, Gu Biao has had all kinds of cooperation and common interests with the cabinet members who have been in the cabinet for more than ten years in a row and two or three waves of nuclear files, so the effect is completely different.

While Boss Zheng was silent, Boss Li also interjected quite consciously: "Lao Zheng, in the future, it is indeed impossible to get rid of Gu Biao and work alone in the interests of the three-third of an acre of land in Guling and Shatoujiao." You don't want to think about it, in the first place, we didn't have to worry about 'Gu Biao moving the factory back to the mainland', after all, the high-tech equipment that we bought from the United States will definitely be strictly controlled and censored by the Americans. If he moves to the mainland, the Americans are still worried about the spread of technology and will do everything possible to obstruct it.

But now it seems that his energy, and the scale of Peterson's ability to help him mediate, is much greater than we expected. If, in another 10 or 8 years, the quality of the labor force in the hinterland has improved and the hinterland has been able to undertake the transfer of these industries, and Gu Biao moves directly to the hinterland, will the land in Daguling still be sold to those poor people at a high price? How can the excess profits of real estate be squeezed?

Only by giving Gu Biao enough profit can we keep him to continue painting cakes, paint for a few more years, and give us more time to deceive those fat sheep who have not yet bought a house! The house in Xiangjiang has risen to such an expensive price, even in a place like Daguling, except for a decent industry like semiconductors, any other industry will not survive in Xiangjiang.

Twenty years ago, we made electric fans, and ten years ago, we made televisions and other electronic assembly products. What else is there for the industry in Xiangjiang now? Without this cake, what can we do to drum up the first batch of popularity in Taguling and Sha Tau Kok?"

Boss Li's words can be described as three points.

Historically, the land in Xiangjiang has been used so sparingly, on the one hand, it is difficult for nail households and environmental protection organizations to do so. On the other hand, it is also hoarding land and reluctant to sell, and not developing the land after winning it at a low price. Who made the cost of holding land in Xiangjiang unreasonably low?

The word "holding cost" is already very face-saving in itself, but it should actually be called "idle cost" or even "waste cost".

The development of Ta Kwu Ling and Sha Tau Kok was clearly ahead of the needs of society in 85 years. If Gu Biao withdraws, the supply of these places will increase, and the housing prices in the main urban area of Xiangjiang may be able to fall a little, which is a situation that several major real estate families do not want to see.

As we all know, sometimes the high price of goods is coaxed up by the gap between supply and demand of "105% of demand and 95% of supply". A planning area with a population of 300,000 or 400,000 is suddenly released in the land market of 5 million people in Xiangjiang, and it is very likely that the market will collapse.

It's better to use interests to stabilize Gu Biao for a long time, and it will cost a little less.

It's all to blame on those damn homeless citizens who refuse to take over for high housing prices!

……

Poor Gu Biao, he didn't know how many urban legends he left in Xiangjiang and even the entire East Asian business community by casually chopping Watarato Sugiichiro to death and beating Saeki Masayoshi to the point of lingering.

In his opinion, all the public pots have been thrown to Peterson and the Blackstone Foundation to bear, and what he Gu Biao shows is only a posture that purely fits the layout of the Americans, and he is a chess piece rather than a chess player.

Why should these people be afraid of the fame that is not in existence at all?

What is there to be afraid of chess pieces?

So, at the beginning of December, Gu Biao's official girlfriend Xiao Sui came to Xiangjiang. Gu Biao originally just wanted to hold a small celebration for people in the literary and art circles to congratulate his girlfriend on winning the Contradictory Literature Award.

Who knows, a group of real estate families who smelled the direction of the wind rushed to Baijiadao Guyuan to give gifts and congratulations, and sent several development opportunities of surrounding land to the door to ask for benefits.
