On the evening of September 10, Li Yisong, Li Huawen, and Li Hualong, father and son, came to the study to talk after dinner.
"Abba, we now have some capital and can prepare for the purchase of off-the-plan properties." Li Hualong smiled.
"Do what you want!" Li Yisong was pleased.
"Abba, third brother, what kind of dumb riddle are you playing?" Li Huawen was puzzled and asked, "What does it mean to sell off-the-plan properties?" ”
"Big brother, selling off-plan property means that the house has not yet been built......"
Li Hualong explained the meaning of "selling off-plan properties" with a smile, and continued: "I have calculated that if the funds are insufficient, if you take a loan from the bank to build a building, and then sell it in layers, the bank will take a lot of profits. If you sell a house by selling off-the-plan properties, as long as you have land in your hand, you don't need to worry about the shortage of funds at all, and compared with borrowing from the bank, the profit can increase by at least 40%. ”
Li Huawen pondered for a moment and asked with a smile: "You mean, you want to invest most of the money in your hand to buy land?" ”
"That's right. I am ready to sell the two tenement buildings that I have for rent, of course, provided that I have the support of HSBC, and the title deed and the title deed are still pressed by HSBC. Also, the ground floor shops in the hands of Hualong Real Estate will also sell some if the price is right. Big brother, I'll build yì you, and my father, sell the property in my hand and buy more land. I guess if I launch the method of buying off-the-plan properties, there will definitely be other real estate projects that will follow suit, which will push up land prices. ”
"The house we live in now, and the house next door, have also been sold?" Li Yisong asked with a smile.
"Not for sale!" Li Hualong smiled, "According to my idea, take the house as a mortgage and borrow from the bank, think about it carefully, forget it, our family is not short of this money now." ”
"You haven't forgotten that you borrowed 500,000 from me last year, right?" Li Yisong smiled, "The one-year repayment period has long passed!" ”
"Forget about it!" Li Hualong smiled bitterly and patted his head, "Abba, I'll pay you some more interest." ”
"It's enough to repay the principal. In the future, your fourth brother will graduate from college, and you will need a lot of help. You also have to help your big brother a lot. ”
"Abba, why don't you say that the eldest brother and the fourth brother will help me more?"
"When it comes to doing business, you know better than they do."
"I also think the third brother will do business." Li Huawen smiled, "Third brother, how much land do you have in your hands now, and how much cash do you have?" ”
"There are still more than one million dollars in cash, and there are six pieces of land that cannot be connected into pieces, and the market value of these plots is more than five million, and there are also shops in hand, which are worth hundreds of thousands. Even if someone bids 8 million to buy the land in my hand, I am reluctant to sell it! ”
"You have a good eye for picking land, I will sell those properties, you have to help me choose a piece of land!"
"Okay, I happened to fall in love with a piece of land, but the price was too high, and our brothers bought it jointly." Li Hualong said with a smile.
"Count me in." Li Yisong said with a smile.
"Okay, the father and son work together, and their strength is broken!" Li Hualong smiled heartily.
In less than half a month, all the properties of Evergrande Real Estate Company were sold by Li Yisong, and the villa and a movie theater where he now lives are not listed in the name of Evergrande Company and are directly held by him personally.
Li Huawen sold all the properties in his name, and he and his father took out all the cashed out funds, plus Li Hualong, and the father and son bought a piece of land in a joint venture.
After purchasing the land, the three parties divided the land according to the proportion of their capital contributions.
A few days later, Li Hualong came to Gao Luyun's law firm and discussed the possibility of "buying an off-plan property" with a lawyer surnamed Luo.
"I think that just stratified and sub-household sales can not activate the property market and attract the general public to buy houses, because there are not many people who can come out to buy houses at once. I always think that the more people buy a house, the more the property market can prosper. I came up with a way to collect a part of the deposit from the buyer before the construction of the new building officially started, and pay the balance in installments, just like paying rent, and when the new building is completed, the buyer will collect all the money, and the buyer will own his own property as the owner. ”
Lawyer Luo asked, "Mr. Li, are you planning to use the buyer's deposit to start the building?" ”
Li Hualong was used to being called "Li Sheng" by others, and nodded with a smile: "That's right, use the buyer's money to start the building." ”
Mr. Luo was a little apprehensive and asked, "The building has not yet been built, is the buyer willing to pay the deposit in advance?" ”
Li Hualong replied: "It should not be a problem, you can use a lawyer or a bank to protect the interests of the buyer and give them confidence." ”
"Li Sheng, your idea is a good idea, if it is feasible, it will definitely be able to activate the property market, even if people with less money can buy a house, pay a deposit first, even if they can't pay the balance, if the property market is good, you can sell it at a higher price."
"Lawyer Luo still has to worry a lot about legal matters. I hope to receive the buyer's deposit by the end of this year. ”
……
On September 23, Li Hualong went to work at the newspaper office and worked for a day.
When he got home from work, Li Hualong saw Li Huahu's hands grasping a branch in the yard and doing pull-ups.
"Third brother, I'm back from work." Li Huahu's hands let go and landed smoothly on the ground.
"I'm back." Li Hualong smiled, "Time flies so fast, tomorrow is Sunday again." ”
In September last year, Li Huahu entered the University of Hong Kong to study, and he usually lives on campus, and he will only go home when the school is closed.
"I don't think time flies quickly." Li Huahu smiled and asked, "Third brother, "Three Smiles" is almost finished, right?" ”
"If nothing else, the day after tomorrow will be finished."
"Are you going to the crew tomorrow?"
"Go. Do you want to go along? ”
"I'm not going. I have a classmate who likes my future sister-in-law very much and wants a signed photo, can you help me get one? ”
"What kind of classmate is it?"
"It's a female classmate!" Li Huahu smiled.
"You like her?"
"Hmm!" Li Huahu nodded slightly shyly.
"It turns out that my future brother and sister want to sign a photo, hehe, I still have a few here, wait a while, you can pick two!"
"Thank you, third brother. Let's go, I want to see it now. ”
"What's the hurry?" Li Hualong smiled and looked at Li Huahu a few times, "Is she beautiful?" ”
"I think it's pretty good."
"Socializing?"
"Not yet, it's just a friendship."
That night, when Li Hualong was having dinner with his family, his mother talked about his engagement to Xia Meng.
As early as shortly after the filming of "Hong Kong Holiday" was completed, Li Yisong invited Xia Meng and her parents to come to the house, and the two families talked about holding an engagement ceremony for their two children before the Chinese New Year.
Although the engagement ceremony has not yet been held, in Li Hualong's eyes, Yang Meng is his fiancée.
"Grandma, don't worry, there are still many months before the Chinese New Year!" Li Hualong smiled.
"Don't be hippie." Li Yisong glared at Li Hualong, "The ancients were cloudy, there were three unfilial pieties, and no queen was greater." Are you planning to be an unfilial son? ”
"Nope." Li Hualong smiled and shook his head, "In the past two days, the movie is about to be completed, "Tang Bohu Dots Autumn Fragrance" is a Jiangnan minor movie, it will take some time to produce it, and after the release, Meng Meng will participate in some activities, and he will be very busy." I discussed with Meng Meng, the engagement was held on New Year's Day, and there was no need to invite too many guests, our family, Mengmeng's family, and then invited Uncle Su (Su Botong, matchmaker) and his family to go to the hotel for a meal together, which is considered an engagement, and when it is time to get married, it is a big deal. ”
"Mengmeng's age is not too young, after the New Year, you will get married, I am waiting to hold my grandson!" Li Song said.
"Grandma, you're too anxious." Li Hualong smiled bitterly, "You have a few grandchildren, Mengmeng and I have our own time, and we don't want to get married right away." ”
"Our family is not short of money, the sooner you marry Mengmeng, she doesn't have to go out to make movies." Li Song said with a frown.
"Don't say this kind of thing in the future." Li Yisong said, "Yang Meng is a modern woman, and Hualong doesn't mind Yang Meng going out to make movies, so you don't care about these things." ”
"Could it be that she and Hua Long are married, and they still go out to make movies?" Li Song said unhappily.
"Grandma, my generation thinks differently than yours. Meng Meng likes filming, and I will support her to go out to film after marriage. However, when she is pregnant, I will let her raise the baby at home with peace of mind, and when she has a child, she will also take care of the child at home. ”
Li Hualong wanted to say that when the child was older, Yang Meng could go out to make a movie, but he didn't say it, he felt that there was no need to say it now, just more unnecessary arguments, and it would be better to talk about things in the future.
