Chapter 714: Loan of Four Billion (4100 Words Chapter, Subscription Requested)
"HK$5.1 billion, for the first time!"
"HK$5.1 billion, the second time!"
"HK$5.1 billion, the third time!"
With the hammer of the auctioneer, the most expensive piece of land in the history of Xiangjiang officially appeared, and the transaction price reached a terrifying 5.1 billion Hong Kong dollars, this piece of land is 144,000 square feet, that is, equivalent to 35,417 Hong Kong dollars per square foot, exceeding the average price of 34,720 Hong Kong dollars per square foot of the land on Cotton Tree Road last year, setting a record for the highest land price in Hong Kong.
At the same time, the total price of this land has become the largest real estate transaction in the world!
In fact, in another time and space, the average price of this land did not exceed the land on Cotton Tree Road, but now with the addition of Rongle, some changes have taken place, and some media said that this auction is the last carnival before the real estate industry in Xiangjiang enters the trough!
Although the Xiangjiang real estate industry will enter the trough subsequently, this does not mean that Rongle will lose money in this auction, but Rongle will get the price of this land in this auction, because the Xiangjiang real estate industry has entered the trough, and it has already made a profit.
In another time and space, Hongkong Land used this land to build the landmark building Exchange Square in Xiangjiang Central, and successively built three high-end commercial buildings, with a construction area of 2 million square feet.
The total value should be at least three or four times higher!
Since then, Panda Retail Group has also had its own landmark building, and Rongle is ready to use this land to build a Panda Plaza belonging to Panda Retail Group, which means that in this time and space, there will be no more Hongkong Land's trading square, but Rongle's Panda Plaza!
This is a very big boost to the overall value of Panda Retail Group, and if Rongle announces the listing of Panda Retail Group now, the market value will definitely become one of the highest companies in Hong Kong.
With the end of the auction, Li Chaoren, Guo Desheng, and Zheng Yutong all came to congratulate Rong Le, who participated in the Xiangjiang land auction for the first time, made the most perfect appearance.
In the end, Simon Keswick and Bao Fuda also walked to Rong Le's side and said: "Congratulations to Rong Sheng! It's just that the follow-up investment in this land will definitely not be less than the current land price, I don't know if Rong Sheng has considered this!"
Rong Le smiled and said, "Please rest assured Mr. Keswick about this, our Panda Retail Group is not short of money!"
Simon Keswick froze, and then left.
Guo Desheng looked at Rong Le and said with a smile: "You, you are really sharp, you have already won them, don't be so domineering anymore!"
Rong Le smiled: "Uncle Guo, I can't blame me, he came over to let me slap my face, I naturally can't let him down!"
"That's right, Ah Le, what you did to relieve your anger!" Zheng Yutong expressed his support for Rong Le's approach next to him.
"Haha, Ah Le, we are also very interested in the development of this land, if you have financial difficulties, you can contact us!" Li Chaodao, although he did not photograph this land, Li Chaoren still hopes to participate in the later development of this land!
"Yes, Ah Le, we are also very interested in the new world!" Zheng Yutong agreed.
Although Guo Desheng didn't say anything, his demeanor already showed everything.
Rong Le said with a smile: "I'm afraid I'm going to disappoint you, our Panda Retail Group has a complete plan for this land, and we have made full preparations in terms of funds!"
Li Chaoren and the three of them all expressed their disappointment......
At this time, the officials of the auction came over, hoping that Rong Le could continue to go through some processes, and Rong Le naturally had no opinion on this.
In the end, Panda Retail Group signed a contract with the Hong Kong government to transfer the money to the Hong Kong government's HSBC account in three installments over a period of nine months, which was hardly a problem for Rongle.
At the same time, MacLehose, the representative of the Hong Kong government, sent an invitation to Rong Le, hoping to have dinner with Rong Le!
In this regard, Rongle also said that he arrived on time!
MacLehose will step down as the governor of Hong Kong next month, as the most successful Hong Kong governor in the history of Hong Kong, MacLehose has an extraordinary position in the hearts of Hong Kong people, Rong Le has also dealt with MacLehose many times in recent years, knowing that this is a Hong Kong governor who does practical things, and still has great respect for MacLehose.
Rong Le is dealing with the transfer of land with the Hong Kong government, but the outside has already spread the news of today's auction hall, almost all the media and newspapers are divided into two ways to intercept Rong Le, part of them came to the auction site, and some of them went to the headquarters of Panda Retail Group. They need first-hand information.
But in the end, Rong Le finally let their idea come to naught, Rong Le did not accept any interview at all, but pushed Huo Jianning to the front desk, and he was interviewed by reporters.
At the same time, Panda Retail Group also issued an announcement to major architectural design companies around the world that it will bid for design proposals for Panda Plaza around the world, and Rongle also announced that it will include Dynasty Tower in the overall structure of Panda Plaza.
In this way, the design difficulty will increase exponentially, but no one doubts that when the Panda Plaza is completed, it will become a landmark building in the whole of Xiangjiang.
Following!
Almost all of the newspapers in Hong Kong made the auction on the front page.
Dynasty Daily, Oriental Daily, Sing Tao Daily, Ta Kung Pao, Ming Pao......
Not only that, but foreign media and newspapers have poured into Xiangjiang to interview Rongle, Panda Square is not only the king of Xiangjiang, but also the king of the world, and it is naturally global news!
"Chairman, Mr. Huang Xizhao, the general manager of Dynasty TV, personally called, hoping that you can accept an exclusive interview from the station! At the same time, Mr. Chen Wenxing, the general manager of Dynasty Daily, also called, with the same purpose as Mr. Huang Xizhao!"
Today, Rongle's secretary is a member of the eighth group of the Strategic Talent Reserve Office.
Rong Le said: "I rejected them and asked them to go to Huo Jianning, Huo Jianning is the CEO of Panda Retail Group, just leave these things to him!"
"The chairman is not only our company's media organization, just this morning, the American Times magazine also sent a fax, hoping to do an exclusive interview with the chairman!"
"Time?" Rong Le was slightly stunned, he didn't expect that this matter would even shock Time Magazine, but Rong Le thought about it for a while, or refused, with the development of the future, Rong Le's career will definitely be carried out in Europe and the United States, although accepting an interview with Time Magazine is a high boost to his influence, but at the same time there are certain disadvantages, because it is easy to attract the attention of other forces in advance, which is very unfavorable to Rong Le's future layout in Europe and the United States, so Rong Le can only refuse.
"Let Huo Jianning deal with this matter!"
I think that Rong Le was high-spirited and was the darling of the Xiangjiang media, and he could be seen in almost all the major news in Xiangjiang, but in the past two years, Rongle has learned more and more the principle of high-profile work and low-key life, and basically no longer accepts interviews with various media and magazines, and has also canceled the press conference he was most willing to attend.
This makes the media in Xiangjiang extremely sorry, they have one less cash cow!
It was such a big thing as this auction, Rong Le didn't even come out in person to deal with the reporters, which made the media reporters in Xiangjiang very hurt!
Just when the media reporters in Xiangjiang were crusading against Rong Le, Rong Le came to the temporary headquarters of HSBC!
HSBC building has begun to be rebuilt, now HSBC can only work in the temporary headquarters, and the arrival of Rong Le is to make HSBC Bank's Taipan Shen Bi overjoyed, Rong Le has just spent 5.1 billion Hong Kong dollars to shoot the king of Xiangjiang, and now he has come to HSBC, obviously there is business to do!
HSBC, as the God of Wealth of Xiangjiang, has actually been very interested in the industry under Rongle's name, but Rongle only took out a few loans when he first started his business, and then never took out loans again.
However, the cooperation between Rongle and HSBC has never been broken, and the accounts of several major groups under Rongle's name are basically in HSBC and Bank of Communications, of which HSBC accounts for the absolute majority, which is also the same as the volume of Bank of Communications and HSBC.
"Rong Sheng's feat yesterday really shocked the entire Xiangjiang!" In Shen Bi's temporary office, Shen Bi and Rong Le laughed.
At this time, Rongle is different from the past, he is already one of the top businessmen in Xiangjiang, and he naturally deserves Shen Bi's praise, of course, Shen Bi, as the senior of HSBC, still has an unshakable absolute position in the business community of Xiangjiang, so Rongle is not complacent.
"It's a feat, but now I hope to get Mr. Shen's help!" Rong Le said.
Shen Bi's eyes lit up, sure enough, Rongle came to take out a loan, and now all the companies in Rongle's hands are childish enterprises in the eyes of bankers, they are not afraid of Rongle loans, they are afraid that Rongle will not take loans!
"Rong Sheng has no difficulties, even if he asks, we at HSBC have always adhered to the principle of serving Hong Kong enterprises!" Shen Bi said with a smile.
Rong Le said: "Then I'm welcome, I'm ready to use Panda Retail Group as collateral and borrow 4 billion Hong Kong dollars from HSBC!"
Even if he had an idea in his heart, when Rong Le proposed the amount of this payment, it still made Shen Bi a little in a trance!
He didn't expect Rong Le to be so generous, and as soon as he opened his mouth, it was 4 billion Hong Kong dollars! Last year, HSBC's annual profit was only 2.003 billion Hong Kong dollars!
According to the current bank loan interest rate of 0.6%, Rongle's annual interest will reach 288 million, which is already one-tenth of HSBC's income last year!
If it is other companies, Shen Bi may think about it, but for Rong Le, Shen Bi basically does not need to consider, now the outside world's valuation of Panda Retail Group itself is infinitely close to 10 billion market value, plus this year's expansion of Panda Retail Group in Wanwan and Thailand, if everything goes well, this year's Panda Retail Group's market value is bound to exceed 10 billion Hong Kong dollars.
At the same time, coupled with the fact that Panda Retail Group has just auctioned this land for HK$5.1 billion, the market value of Panda Retail Group this year will be infinitely close to the market value of 20 billion.
Moreover, Rongle's company itself does not have loans, and it is almost impossible to afford the HK$4 billion loan.
So Shen Bi smiled and said: "Although I myself would like to facilitate this transaction, the amount of this loan is too large, and we need to vote on the board of directors to give Rong Sheng an accurate answer!"
Shen Bi said this, in fact, he had already agreed to Rong Le's loan request, so Rong Le smiled: "Then I will wait for Mr. Shen's good news!"
Then Shen Bi suddenly said: "Is Rongsheng interested in becoming a director of our HSBC bank?"
The so-called becoming a director of HSBC is not really about how many shares of HSBC Rongle holds, and it is not bad to have 0.1%, it is more of an honor.
HSBC has also sent out a few such directors before this, but they are definitely only a handful, and Shen Bi also did this to deepen the cooperation with Rong Le.
"If I could, I would naturally have no opinion!" Rong Le smiled.
"It's also a great honor for us to be joined by a young talent like Rongsheng at HSBC, so I will bring up these two things at the board meeting, and Rongsheng can wait for news!"
After the two talked about some specific cooperation matters, Rong Le got up and said goodbye and left.
In fact, even if it costs 5.1 billion Hong Kong dollars to bid for this piece of land, it is only a small part of the cash flow in Rongle's hands, but Panda Retail Group has just been established, and at the same time, there are several major overseas investment companies in name as shares, if Rongle himself is injecting capital, it will inevitably arouse the suspicion of some people.
At the same time, the cash in Rongle's hand has other uses, and at the same time, it can also achieve the purpose of confusing everyone's attention, and in this way, it can also reach a closer cooperative relationship with HSBC, which can be said to kill multiple birds with one stone.
After Rong Le came out of HSBC, he returned directly to Rong's Manor, and now Chen Yulian's belly is getting bigger and bigger day by day, and it is about to reach the due date, Rong Le will return to Rong's Manor to accompany Chen Yulian as long as he has time during this time.
When Rong Le returned to Rong's Manor, he happened to see Chen Yulian and Mi Xue walking in the garden with big bellies, accompanied by Rong's mother.
"Be careful, don't catch a cold!" Rong Le said with concern.
"I still need you to remind you!" Rong's mother glanced at Rong Le, and then Rong Le retreated directly!
Seeing Rong Le like this, Chen Yulian and Mi Xue both smiled.
"What about the eldest brother?" Since Mi Xue became pregnant, Rong Ren spent the rest of his time by Mi Xue's side except for necessary work.
Mi Xue said: "It seems that there are a few scenes in "Best Partner 3" that need to be reshot today, and your eldest brother has gone to the set!"
Rong Le nodded: "Oh, so that's the case!"
"Best Partner" has already reached its third installment, and the "Five Lucky Stars" series is almost the third part this year, and it seems that it is time to start the second phase of the cinematic universe.
The second stage of the cinematic universe is naturally not Cheng Long's "Police Story", but Rong Le is ready to integrate "Best Partner" with "Five Lucky Stars", of course, Chen Jiaju must also appear, and "Police Story" will also appear as an easter egg for this movie!
