The filming of the last few scenes of the Jiangnan minor movie "Tang Bohu Dots Autumn Fragrance" went very smoothly, and the film was finally officially completed before dark on September 24.
That night, Li Hualong invited all the crew members to the hotel for dinner.
After dinner, Xia Meng and Li Hualong left in a car.
The fact that Xia Meng and Li Hualong are going to get engaged has not yet been made public, but almost everyone in the crew of "Tang Bohu Dots Autumn Fragrance" knows that Li Hualong is Xia Meng's boyfriend, and they all think that Li Hualong and Xia Meng are talented and beautiful, a match made in heaven.
After getting into the car, Li Hualong held Xia Meng's hand tightly and said with a smile: "I've worked hard for you recently." ”
Xia Mengyan smiled: "You have said this sentence many times today!" ”
"I feel sorry for you!" Li Hualong said with a smile.
A blush appeared on Xia Meng's face, and he gestured with his eyes to the two bodyguards sitting in front of him.
Li Hualong smiled happily, didn't speak anymore, and held Xia Meng's hand tightly and didn't let go.
……
At the beginning of October, Mr. Luo perfected Li Longhua's idea of "selling off-the-plan properties" and drafted a contract for Hualong Real Estate to purchase the house with a deposit.
On October 10, before the construction of a piece of land in Mong Kok under the name of Hualong Real Estate Company began, the brochure for sale was put forward, and together with Ming Pao, it flowed to various newsstands in Hong Kong to introduce the new method of buying a house by installments, with the first installment paying 50% of the deposit, and the second installment being completed and paying 10% of the floor on the second floor...... The remaining 10% of the sixth instalment will be paid upon receipt of the occupation certificate.
At the same time, Ming Pao published that Hualong Real Estate Company launched the method of selling real estate in installments, which was supported by Hong Kong's Modu HSBC Bank and Gao Luyun Law Firm, and after the buyer paid a 50% deposit, the money will be deposited in ZÀI HSBC, and HSBC and Gao Luyun Law Firm will monitor the use of the funds to ensure that the funds are paid to the builders.
Over the next three days, hundreds of thousands of Hong Kongers talked about buying a property in installments.
Hong Kong people refer to buildings under construction or units that have not yet started construction as "uncompleted properties", and Hualong Real Estate Company pre-sells "uncompleted properties", which is called "selling uncompleted properties" by Hong Kong people.
The term "selling off-the-plan properties" was first written on October 12, when Hong Kong's major newspaper "Sing Pao" published an article - "Hualong Real Estate Creates a New Real Estate Model".
This article was written by Li Hualong himself, and the reason why he did not publish it in "Ming Pao", but voted for "Cheng Pao" was to avoid others saying that he was selling melons and boasting about himself.
It was not only Li Hualong who wrote an article that was published in the newspaper, many people wrote articles in the newspaper about it.
In later generations, "selling off-the-plan" is not a new thing, but in Hong Kong in 1950, Li Hualong proposed this new method, the real estate industry and social repercussions can be described as "earth-shattering", Hong Kong has also become the world's first place to launch the "sell off-the-plan" method, over time, this party will gradually be used around the world, becoming one of the ways for real estate developers to promote new real estate.
On October 14, 30 buildings planned to be developed by Hualong Property Company in Mong Kok were put on sale, and citizens flocked to it.
At the sales contact office of Hualong Real Estate Company and Gao Luyun Law Firm, the citizens who came to pay a deposit to buy a house lined up in a long line.
Because the previous preparations were well done, it only took one day to sell out each of the 30 buildings.
Hualong Real Estate Company and the construction contractor have negotiated the price of the construction of these buildings, and all kinds of expenses can be calculated, and now that these buildings have been pre-sold and sold, it is very easy to calculate the profit of this development of 30 buildings.
The profit is more than 1.2 million Hong Kong dollars, this result makes Li Hualong very satisfied, Hualong Real Estate Company invested in the purchase of the land needed to build these buildings, less than 300,000 yuan, investment of 300,000 yuan, in less than a year, can earn more than 1.2 million, more than four times the profit, inevitably made him a little excited.
The price of the pre-sale building of Longhua Real Estate Company is public, and the purchase of land, as well as the cost of construction, people in the real estate industry can speculate approximately, and the results surprise them.
For a time, many real estate companies followed the example of Hualong Real Estate Company and sold houses by pre-selling buildings.
Bosses who had never done real estate business before learned that the real estate industry was highly profitable, so they set up real estate companies to buy land and pre-sell buildings, and these people's funds poured into the land market, pushing up land prices.
By the end of October, Hualong Real Estate Company had built more than a dozen buildings in the upper reaches of Hong Kong Island, and it took less than ten days to sell all the units, making a profit of more than 500,000 Hong Kong dollars.
Hualong Real Estate continues to create a myth in Hong Kong's real estate industry, and Li Hualong's eyes are not limited to real estate, he is gradually improving the development blueprint of his future career.
……
At the beginning of November, Li Hualong went to see several villas for sale, and after comparison, he bought a single-family villa for 180,000 yuan.
After buying this villa, Li Hualong took Xia Meng to see the house.
Coming to the door of the villa, Xia Meng asked curiously, "What are you bringing me here for?" ”
Li Hualong asked with a smile: "Do you like this villa?" ”
Xia Meng was slightly stunned and said, "The appearance is quite beautiful, but I don't know how the layout is inside." ”
"The style you like." Li Hualong took Xia Meng's hand and walked into the villa, "Mengmeng, do you like it?" ”
"It's beautiful...... This house is yours? ”
"Ugh." Li Hualong smiled, "It can be said to be ours, it can be said to be yours, but it can't be said to be mine." ”
"What?" Xia Meng didn't understand what Li Hualong meant.
"I bought this house the other day, in your name. Hehe, don't be too moved, in a little more than a month, we will be engaged, you are my fiancée, I hope to be able to make your lord better. ”
Listening to Li Hualong's Hua, Xia Meng was very moved, and said with tears in his eyes: "Hualong, such a big house must be very expensive, you don't have to spend so much money for me......" said and shed two crystal tears.
"Fool!" Li Hualong stretched out his hand to wipe away Xia Meng's tears, "Hold the hand of the son, and grow old with the son." I don't allow you to say such stupid things, your parents in the future will be my parents......"
"Hualong, I love you!" Xia Meng threw herself into Li Hualong's arms.
"Mengmeng, I love you too!" Li Hualong hugged Xia Meng's waist tightly.
After the kiss, Li Hualong smiled: "Let's go, I'll take you to another place." ”
"Where?"
"You'll know when you get there."
"You'll sue me first." Xia Meng said coquettishly, grabbed Li Hualong's sleeve and shook his hand.
"I'll sue you." Li Hualong said happily, "I bought a few plots of land in Clear Water Bay, no, those plots are connected, and I am going to build a studio there." ”
"Clear Water Bay? It's a wasteland, right? ”
"It's a wasteland, and there's no need to build the set in a convenient place."
To get from Hong Kong Island to Clear Water Bay, you have to cross the sea, and now there is no cross-sea bridge or cross-harbour tunnel in Victoria Harbour, so you need to cross the sea by boat.
When crossing the sea, Li Hualong looked at his watch and asked, "Mengmeng, are you hungry?" ”
"I haven't felt hungry yet."
"It's almost time for dinner, and when we get to the shore, we'll find a restaurant for lunch."
