Chapter 41 won the bid for the king of the land

Today, the Hong Kong MTR Corporation officially announced the start of the public acceptance of the bidding for the development rights of the original site of the General Post Office.

The Hong Kong MTR Company claimed that the MTR Company's public bidding would definitely provide an equal opportunity for all companies, and that the contents of the tender documents were also confidential, and that the MTR Company would keep them strictly confidential.

This time, as many as 30 consortiums and companies participated in the bidding, more than double the previous bidding in the Kowloon section.

Zhang Heng took the car to the bidding site for the construction rights of Chater Station and Admiralty Station of the subway.

After arriving here, Zhang Heng looked left and right and found that the bidders were all powerful companies, among which Zhang Heng attracted special attention to Heung Kong Land, Cheung Kong Industrial, Swire Properties, Gammon Construction, Japan and Australia Cai Yituanyi, Hui Baimei Company, Carnival Group, Fok Ying Tung Group, and Hang Lung Real Estate.

Among these real estate companies, the weakest is Li Ka-shing Changjiang Industrial, but it is this weakest Changjiang Industrial that makes Zhang Heng the most jealous, if Zhang Heng is not mistaken, the final winner of this bid in the previous life seems to be Li Ka-shing, that is, this bid made him soar, so Zhang Heng paid special attention to it.

Nowadays, the outside world is unanimously optimistic about Heung Kong Land, and the surrounding people call Central Station Chater Station, and Admiralty Station is only more than 100 meters away from Chater Garden Plaza, which is simply under the nose of Heung Kong Land.

Therefore, Zhang Heng deliberately left a message about the Taipan Niu Bijian of Hong Kong Land, and happened to see an Australian reporter from the English "Times" interviewing Niu Bijian, although Niu Bijian refused to disclose the content of the bid, nor did he evaluate "who is the owner of the famous flower", but his demeanor and tone of speech are the best answer. ”

After the companies handed over their bids to the staff of the subway company, they communicated with each other, on the surface, everyone was a harmonious group, but Zhang Heng didn't know what was going on behind the scenes.

After receiving the bids from each company, the MTR company immediately held a high-level meeting to discuss which one's bid was more suitable for its company.

After two hours of discussion and screening, two companies' bids were approved by the MTR, namely Oriental Property and Cheung Kong.

There was a heated discussion among the top management about the two companies, and they believed that the bids of both companies were suitable for the development of their own companies, and one side supported Oriental Land, believing that its transaction cash was a little higher and stronger.

The other party believes that Cheung Kong is more reliable, Cheung Kong has a history of 20 years, and its experience is richer, as for Oriental Real Estate, it is only a company that has just been established this year, and its ability has not yet been verified, but neither side can convince the other.

In the end, everyone turned their attention to Tang Xin, the chairman of the board of directors of the subway company, Tang Xin carefully read the bidding documents of the two companies when everyone was discussing just now, and when Tang Xin saw the name of the construction company filled in by Dongfang Real Estate, he paid attention.

Tang Xin finally decided to cooperate with Oriental Real Estate, not only because the price offered by Oriental Real Estate was a little higher than that of Cheung Kong Industrial, but also because Tang Xin saw that the company that built the property under the name of Oriental Real Estate was written as Tianan Construction.

Maybe others don't know much about the strength of Tian'an Construction, but Tang Xin knows that Tian'an Construction's strength was once able to rank in the top five of Xiangjiang Construction Company, but later due to the financial crisis, Tian'an Construction deteriorated.

Even if Tian'an Construction is in decline now, Tang Xin believes that it is more than enough for Tian'an Construction to build two properties on the subway, and the price of Oriental Real Estate is one section higher than that of Cheung Kong Industrial, so Tang Xin chose Oriental Real Estate as the partner of cooperation.

Soon Tang Xin, chairman of the board of directors of the MTR Company, personally came forward and signed a contract with Zhang Heng on the development of property in Central Station and Admiralty Station.

Tang Xin, chairman of the board of directors of the MTR Corporation, and Zhang Heng of Oriental Real Estate first signed a property agreement for the development of the Central Station, and the Admiralty Station will be negotiated and signed at a later date.

That night, Zhang Heng and Tang Xin held a press conference to announce the news.

I saw that the Australian reporter from the "Times" asked, "I don't know why Mr. Tang didn't choose so many powerful companies, but chose the new company Oriental Real Estate." ”

Tang Xin smiled and said to the reporter: "Many companies here today are very interested in cooperating with our company, so the competition is very fierce.

However, the Company has carefully studied the bids of all the companies, and as a result, our Company believes that the bids of Oriental Land are more suitable for the development of our company and are the most attractive to the Company, so the Company has handed over the property development rights of Central Station and Admiralty Station to Oriental Land. ”

At the same time, Zhang Heng promised to use the best materials and the best construction company to build this property, and when the time comes, the building property will be sold to the public layer by floor.

The next day, the news was published in various newspapers in Hong Kong, and the Chinese chapter of the newspaper reported the news that "Oriental Real Estate defeated Heung Kong Land to win the land king".

And some newspapers reported the detailed results of winning the bid, that is, Zhang Heng's "Oriental Daily" and "South China Morning Post", these two newspapers wrote like this: "At the time, it was worth about 300 million Hong Kong dollars, and it was won for the land of the old General Post Office, which was the king of the Central District that 30 large consortia competed for, and finally won for the Oriental Real Estate Company."

"This 'land king', with an average land price of about HK$10,000 per square foot, has long been coveted by major consortia, and finally became the result of the bidding of Oriental Real Estate. ”

According to the Underground Railway Company, the main reason is that the conditions listed in the proposal submitted by Oriental Real Estate are unusually generous and attractive, and it can finally stand out and have the exclusive right to operate the development of the land with the MTR Company.

"The board of directors of the Mass Transit Corporation yesterday approved the terms of the agreement, which restricts the construction of a 37-storey single-tower building with a mix of commercial and office buildings on a 2,270-square-foot site on top of the MTR's future Central station. ”

"Oriental Property Company Limited has agreed to pay a lump sum of cash to the MTR Company at the time of signing the agreement, and to continue to pay a sum of cash to the MTR Company after the sale of the property, so as to ensure that the MTR Company will make a profit in any event. ”

These two newspapers, while satisfying the curiosity of the public, are also touting Oriental Real Estate and improving the reputation of Oriental Real Estate.

Similarly, many newspapers in the public opinion circle also called the winning of the bid of Oriental Real Estate "a milestone in the development history of Oriental Real Estate", and described the real estate rookie Zhang Heng as "a blockbuster and soaring into the sky"

It is rumored that the Keswick family was very dissatisfied with the loss of the king of the Central District by Niu Bijian, which became a "bargaining chip" for the Keswick family to force Niu Bijian to step down.
