Chapter 327: On the side of Baijia Road on Taiping Mountain
"Seven million!"
"Seven million! Mr. Mo asked for seven million, and there was no higher price for everyone present. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
If there is no more bidding, this seaside mansion in Wan Chai belongs to Mr. Mok Hin Mok. ā
"Seven million for the first time!"
"Seven million for the second time!"
"Seven million for the third time!" The government representative who presided over the smooth progress of the entire bidding meeting struck the hammer, and the mansion was in Mo Xuan's name.
"Mr. Mok, congratulations on winning your first bid tonight. After the first auction ended today, the official representative of the Lands Department couldn't help but smile and say hello to Mo Xuan, with a strong sense of closeness on his face.
In Xiangjiang, a capitalist society, everything has a great relationship with capital, and officials participating in politics often need to rely on the power of capitalism if they want to climb up.
Today, the political system of Hong Kong is executive-led, and the entire administrative system consists of several supreme advisory bodies, decision-making bodies and power bodies directly under the control of the Governor, namely the Executive Bureau, the Legislative Council and the Chief Secretary for Administration.
Generally speaking, the Executive Council is presided over by the Governor of Hong Kong, and invites well-known members of the community to serve as members, usually more than 10 people. Important policies must be approved by the Governor of Hong Kong in Council before they can be implemented.
If the Governor disagrees with the majority of the Executive Council's resolution, he needs to report the reasons to the British Foreign Office, so that the Executive Council can have considerable influence on the Governor's decision-making.
It is precisely because members of the Executive Council have so much power in Hong Kong that joining them has always been the lifelong pursuit of countless politicians in Hong Kong.
And if the government wants to join it, it is very important to get the support of the rich and famous people in Xiangjiang, because their class has a very huge influence on Xiangjiang and can influence countless people in the surrounding area.
It can be said that the members of the Legislative Council and the Executive Council are basically the agents of the wealthy in Hong Kong, and it is not an exaggeration for the Governor of Hong Kong and the wealthy people in Hong Kong to jointly govern Hong Kong, and this is also the reason why both the Chinese side and the British side are struggling to win the support of the rich people.
And this is also the reason why Shi Weixian, who is now serving as Mo Xuan's entrusted lawyer, wants to be good friends with Mo Xuan, and he wants to enter the Legislative Council in Xiangjiang, which needs the support of many people like Mo Xuan.
And the next few auction items are also luxury houses located in various parts of Xiangjiang, I don't know if it is to give tonight's bidding a good start, Mo Xuan feels that they are inferior to the mansion in Wan Chai that he bid for.
The mood of the people present also plummeted, after all, the real estate industry is now sluggish, and luxury houses are the hardest hit area.
Looking at the crowd in the audience, the host of the bidding meeting smiled, he didn't believe that everyone present in the next mansion would not be moved.
Then he said loudly: "Okay, everyone, the next thing we have to bid for is the last mansion in the bidding meeting tonight."
It is located on Pak Ka Road in Victoria Peak. ā
"Boom!"
The truth is indeed as he expected, after he said the six words Taiping Mountain, Bai Jiadao, everyone present exploded, and they all looked at the mansion that appeared on the stage with a kind of hot gaze, one by one like fanatical believers.
In fact, it's no wonder that they were so out of shape when they heard Taiping Mountain and Bai Jia Dao, but the meaning of the six words Taiping Mountain and Bai Jia Dao was too huge.
"I won't be able to go to Taiping Mountain
I'm afraid that it will be too stable, and I can't climb the mountain if I want to
If you want to climb Lion Rock, you have a long way to go
Now it's rotten, but this redbud is golden
.....ā
This is the lyrics of the song "Under the Taiping Mountain" written by the great lyricist Lin Xi for Hong Kong in the 21st century, which is mainly aimed at "Under the Lion Rock", a well-known old song of Hong Kong.
In the sixties and seventies, when Hong Kong's economy was taking off, the spirit of Lion Rock represented the efforts and struggles of the grassroots and their tenacity.
But I don't know when people gradually stopped believing that the Xiangjiang dream depicted in "Under the Lion Rock" can still be realized in this generation, because no matter how hard you work, the social structure is not like a mountain, and some people just don't let you climb up.
In front of people, there is Taiping Mountain, which is the Baijia Road of Taiping Mountain, and this place is also a place where countless people in Xiangjiang have struggled for their whole lives and want to live in.
There are many luxury residential areas in Xiangjiang, which is well known to the world, some people say that Deep Water Bay is the most bullish luxury residential area in Xiangjiang, some people say that Repulse Bay is the most bullish luxury residential area in Xiangjiang, and some people say....
But if you really know Xiangjiang, you will know that other luxury residential areas are floating clouds, only Baijia Road in Taiping Mountain is the real luxury residential area of Xiangjiang, and it can even be said that it is also the master of the entire Xiangjiang.
Baijia Road is a two-lane two-way carriageway, prohibiting buses and minibuses from passing, and the residences along the way, the main entrance is not on the side of the road, and is connected by an elevated ramp, and there are security guards at the intersection, and there is a notice posted on the iron gate "Private place, there are vicious dogs inside".
In Mo Xuan's previous life, the famous horse luck and the richest man in China once refreshed other people's perception of wealth.
He spent a full 1.5 billion Hong Kong dollars to buy No. 22 Pak Ka Road, located at the top of Taiping Shan in Hong Kong, with more than 1.36 million Hong Kong dollars per square meter, which set a record for the second highest unit price per square meter in the world, and also set a record for the most expensive luxury house per square meter in Hong Kong.
If this is not more revealing, then if you know that in the future, this Baijia Road, which is only 1.7 kilometers long, is crowded with rich people you know or don't know.
Henderson Land's Lee Chiu-kee family, ACN's major shareholder Liu Luanxiong, Premier League Birmingham Club's largest shareholder Yang Ka Cheng, "Optical Instrument King" Huang Kejing and his family members, Phnom Penh casino owners, etc., you can also understand the deep meaning.
It can be said that as long as you can live in Pak Jia Road in Taiping Mountain, it is equivalent to you entering the ruling class of Xiangjiang, representing a small group of absolute elites in the entire Xiangjiang, and you may be able to meet a wealthy man or a high-ranking government official as soon as you go out.
And the rich and famous people in Xiangjiang talk about business and make friends, isn't it just reached through the visit between neighbors, which is simply very convenient.
Of course, in addition to this convenience, the extremely high privacy density of Pak Jia Road in Taiping Shan is also a major feature of it, and even the paparazzi with strong fighting power in Xiangjiang do not want to take a photo of the residents in it.
Because, before you can sneak in, you will be stopped by the heavily guarded security guards and forbidden to enter.
Of course, maybe you can't hold back the indignant scolding: "Is it great to be rich!"
