Chapter 43 The Reasons Behind the Purchase of Land

"Big brother, you said to give you face, so I will give you big brother face, then you say, what do you want to do, you tell me clearly, don't expect me to support you if you don't make it clear, don't expect to get a penny on me." Ling Shizhe shook the document in his hand and said angrily.

Ling Shikai came to Ling Shizhe and looked into his eyes, without any words, after being silent for a minute, he pulled a chair from the side and sat down, then took out a pack of cigarettes from his coat pocket, first handed one to Ling Shizhe, then handed one to Ling Shixun, and then took out another one and put it in his mouth; Next to him, Ling Fangfang took out a lighter, and the eldest brother and sixth brother finally lit it in turn.

After the three of them took a few bites, Ling Shikai said: "Old Seven, our brother and sister have been discussing this plan for a long time, in June this year, we heard that the Hong Kong government had a plan to auction the land in the New Territories early next year, so we started to make a plan, originally we didn't want to eat it all, we just wanted to auction one or two of them; But Guo's father and son wanted to eat all the land and develop it as a whole like their father; You may not know it, Guo's father and son have always been the group's biggest competitors, and they have grabbed several pieces of land from the group; This time we collided with the Guo family again, and we were unwilling to let the Guo family eat the land so comfortably, so we decided to raise the price for him at the auction and give the Guo family father and son a little color. ”

Ling Shizhe took a puff of cigarette, spit out a smoke ring, and said: "Since the plan is to teach the Guo family a lesson, it means that you don't plan to play seriously, how can you get serious now, or do overall development, you should also know that the group is not capable of opening two such big projects at the same time, right?" ”

"Old Seven, this time the Hong Kong government bidding has been reformed, which is different from before." Ling Fangfang interjected: "Let me explain to you, in the past, the Hong Kong government auction was open to bidding, that is, the auctioneer stood on the stage with a small hammer to bid for the price, and invested in the bidding below, and in the end, the highest one won; The whole process is clear and clear how much the other party is bidding. If you don't do this, you won't be able to sell it for much money at all, or even sell it at all, because in the past, the Hong Kong government only allowed Britons to auction land, and Hong Kong people were not allowed to bid for land, and there were signs outside the auction hall that Chinese and dogs were not allowed to enter. The people in the auction house were all British, but they united to desperately lower the price, which made the Hong Kong British government embarrassed, and they had a grudge against the Hong Kong British government. ”

Ling Shizhe raised his eyebrows, what's the matter, the British are doing it with their own government, this is new.

Seeing Ling Shizhe's puzzlement, Ling Shikai on the side said: "Old Seven, do you know that during the war between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party, Hong Kong had an independence? That independence was very short-lived, and it will not be recorded in the history of Hong Kong; Although it was very short-lived, Britain almost lost Hong Kong at that time, you were not born at that time, and the fifth sister was too young to remember, and Lao Dou and I were witnesses of this incident. ”

"Hmm...... What's going on? ”

Ling Shikai continued: "At that time, World War II had just ended, and Hong Kong's post-war reconstruction needed a lot of capital investment, and the Hong Kong government had no money to carry out post-war reconstruction, and there was no money to find the British government. In the end, Hong Kongers and British people living in Hong Kong united in a big rebellion, and there were huge crowds of protesters in front of the Hong Kong government every day. The Americans saw an opportunity to secretly fuel the flames, wanting Hong Kong to become independent from the British government.

The British were stupid, and in this situation they had to compromise, promising that as long as they did not become independent, not only would they not raise taxes, but they would also give Hong Kong the minimum preferential tax treatment and various preferential trade policies. This policy laid a solid foundation for Hong Kong's rapid economic development in the future. Although the British resolved the crisis, the British living in Hong Kong have become enemies of the Hong Kong government, and you must know that the governor of Hong Kong has always been sent by the British government, not the Hong Kong people themselves.

When the Japanese came, those high-ranking officials of the British government in Hong Kong had already run away, and the British ** team surrendered without firing a few shots. At that time, many British people who had not had time to run in Hong Kong were captured by the Japanese army and then tortured to death, and finally survived until the end of the war, and found that Hong Kong was already full of desolation. As for the British government, not only did not pay for the post-war reconstruction of Hong Kong, but imposed heavy taxes, and the tax rate was as high as 70%, how ridiculous, and the British government in Hong Kong was the executor. The Governor of Hong Kong and many important government officials were directly sent by the British Government, and they were very resolute in carrying out British orders, and the various actions of the British Government broke the hearts of the British people in Hong Kong, and in addition to the incompetence of the Japanese when they occupied Hong Kong, in the end, those British people in Hong Kong all turned against them, and when they were fighting for independence, those British living in Hong Kong were the most fierce and resolute.

Later, although the matter was quickly settled, the two sides formed a "hatred". Later, whenever the Hong Kong government wanted to auction land to raise money, they jointly lowered the price and deliberately made things yellow. ”

Hong Kong is independent, by the way, Ling Shizhe didn't expect that there would be such a history in Hong Kong's history, it's strange, the British and the British did it themselves. But if you think about it, this seems to be their glorious tradition, they have fought with Scotland in history, and later generations of Scotland have also held a referendum to fight for independence. More than 200 years ago, they themselves did it again from within, and the result was the birth of the United States. I didn't expect that there would be such a disturbance in Hong Kong, and it was actually the Americans behind it.

"Aren't Britain and the United States allies? It was also done by the United States. Ling Shizhe was intrigued by Ling Fangfang's words. He knew that Ling Fangfang had been a history teacher at the school for two years before, and it was not surprising to know this.

The words of the nineteenth-century British Prime Minister Palmerston are also the standard of British diplomacy today, and they are also a true portrayal of Britain and the United States. Britain occupies too many colonies in the world, those colonies have always been the dumping ground of British surplus goods, after the end of World War II, Britain is almost in ruins, the colonies need a variety of commodities Britain can not be satisfied at all, the United States goods are very sufficient, but Britain just does not open their colonies, do not allow the United States to come in, American goods want to come in can only rely on the local people through smuggling to enter, Lao Dou was originally by smuggling American goods in Hong Kong and Southeast Asia to get started.

Britain's behavior has greatly angered the United States, and there has been no improvement in negotiations with various parties, and Hong Kong, as a British colony, has made such a fuss, and the Americans will not take the opportunity to deal with him for a while. After the war, Britain's national power declined sharply, and its control over the most colonies became weaker and weaker, and many regions became independent, such as India; In fact, the shadow of the United States was behind those independent regions, even the British homeland of Scotland, and the United States did not let go, and finally Britain had to bow its head, open its markets to each other and enjoy the most favored nation treatment, and from then on American companies and their goods rightfully entered the British colonies. ”

"Okay, history is over, let's get down to business, say that? The Hong Kong government auctioned off the land, and the British in Hong Kong jointly lowered the price, and the Hong Kong government could not get enough funds to carry out post-war reconstruction. Later, because of the failure of GMD in the mainland, more and more people came to Hong Kong, and after they arrived in Hong Kong, they wanted to sell land, build houses, live and do business, and there were many rich people among them, and some people began to propose to the then governor of Hong Kong to let Hong Kong people mix in and compete with the British for land auctions, and their property was protected......"

"I understand, in the past, the Hong Kong government's public bidding was to let us compete with the British living in the local area, and the Hong Kong government could make a lot of money from it; But now the times have changed, the British and we are very dissatisfied with the Hong Kong government's practice of open bidding, public bidding has a drawback, that is, malicious price increases, everyone does not want to be wronged, under opposition, the Hong Kong government changed the open bid to a hidden bid, all those who participate in the bidding write the price on a piece of paper and seal it and put it on, and then the Hong Kong government in public to open the bid, the last one with the highest price wins. In this way, the bidders do not know the actual price offered by the other party, which prevents the malicious price increase, am I right, big brother? ”

"That's right, Lao Qi, now that the Hong Kong government has changed to a secret bid, we can't snipe the Guo family at the auction. But then we found out that if we used our father's method to develop the land as a whole, the final profit was much higher than if we had divided the land up and auctioned it off. So we just wanted to just eat all the land and develop it as a whole. After speaking, Ling Shikai took the water handed by Ling Fangfang and drank it in one gulp, saying that Ling Shikai was very thirsty after saying it for so long, and he breathed a long sigh of relief after drinking the water.

"We didn't dare to tell Lao Dou, we came to discuss with you first, as long as we got the support of your seventh brother, Lao Dou wouldn't say anything." Ling Shixun answered.

So that's the case, but a few of you are bold enough not to worry about breaking yourself? Ling Shizhe said in his heart, it seems that they saw that I supported the third sister Ling Shishi to spend 800 million US dollars to buy a ranch, and they thought that I would also support them, after all, I have the worst relationship with the third sister Ling Shishi among many brothers and sisters, since the third sister with the worst relationship, Ling Shizhe, can support her to spend 800 million US dollars to buy a ranch, you can't support us to spend one or two hundred million Hong Kong dollars to get a land, not to mention that after borrowing you one or two hundred million Hong Kong dollars, you don't need to continue to spend money, and then they can take this land to find a bank mortgage and sit up on the project.

Good abacus, indeed good abacus, if I wasn't born again, maybe I would agree.

Ling Shizhe's Ambrera has a global turnover of more than $5 billion this year and a net profit of more than $600 million, which is second only to IBM's sales of $6 billion this year. What is this idea, because Ambrera's annual net profit is 12% of turnover, which is a very scary number. Think about IBM, IBM in this era is known as the most profitable company in the world, and it is indeed his most profitable moment, his annual net profit in this era is only just 10% of his turnover, and the later generation of Microsoft in his heyday, the annual net profit is only 13% of his turnover, and the net profit of the average company accounts for four percent of his turnover in a year, which is an absolute blue chip stock on the NASDAQ and the New York Stock Exchange.

If you haven't already, then look at Citibank, whose global turnover in 2006 was $38 trillion, and his net profit was $3.3 billion. That was Citi's most glorious time before the subprime mortgage crisis. Wal-Mart, in 2004, his global turnover exceeded 300 billion US dollars, what is his net profit, 6 billion US dollars, how many percent of his turnover do you calculate? Such companies are all blue chips on the stock market. In comparison, Ambrera's 12% profit margin is definitely a daunting figure, and one or two hundred million Hong Kong dollars is really not a matter for him.

Ling Shizhe looked at their business plan again, but he didn't expect them to have such an advanced idea. You must know that in this era, most Hong Kong real estate developers are still in the nature of guerrillas. For example, Lingzhigao's commercial real estate project used to only treat real estate projects as building houses.

A factory, a community or a shopping mall, these projects are completed, handed over to the property manager, and the construction cost is collected by himself.

Even in the whole of Hong Kong in this era, there are no comprehensive development projects such as plazas, commercial entertainment, shopping, apartments, hotels, accommodation, etc. in the plan, except for Ling Zhigao. At present, the real estate developers in Hong Kong are still in the infant stage of their birth, and they are still exploring a profitable business model.

This plan is much clearer and more complete than the projects under construction by Lexus.

Even 40 years later, there is only one commercial real estate group in China that has achieved this profit model. The other explorers, some turned around and left in the face of difficulties, and some were shattered. This shows how valuable a mature business model is at this time.

To put it bluntly, this model is not to build a unit or a project, but to put forward the concept of a business district. From the perspective of urban operators, the real estate developer will build a city within a city and a multi-functional urban complex.

"Who made this plan, not to mention anything else, just the person who made this plan can see that this person's vision is not ordinary." Ling Shizhe couldn't help but feel sorry when he saw this plan.

"It's Miss Bai Xiaoyan, the eldest brother's office assistant." Ling Shixun said gossipingly.

Ling Shizhe looked at Ling Shikai in surprise, and then turned his head to look at Ling Shixun, who winked at him for a while.

"Oh...... Then I want to congratulate the eldest brother on getting a new lady again, when will I drink the wedding wine? Ling Shizhe suddenly realized.

"Uh...... In a few days, in a few days, the house is being renovated now, and I will definitely invite you when the time comes. Ling Shikai was rarely shy.

Ling Shikai is ** by nature, there are already 5 wives in the family, and there are six of them in addition to this. At present, there is no monogamous marriage law in Hong Kong, and according to the system of feudal society, a man can take many wives. Even if it's **, it's useless, the wealthy family in Hong Kong in the future is not a few outside the family. It can really be said that the red flag at home does not fall, and the colorful flags flutter outside, which has taught the later mainland small pot friends.

Ling Shizhe flipped it twice again, making an appreciative expression, but his heart was in a hurry, and he didn't know how to persuade them to give up this plan. The whole plan is divided into several stages, the development time span is more than five years, the financial crisis of 73 is coming, and if they are not stoned to death at that time, the group will be dragged into the abyss.

What should I do, Ling Shizhe felt worried in his heart. Suddenly remembering that the financial crisis in Hong Kong in 73 years is closely related to a major historical event, can you start to convince them from this aspect?

No, definitely not, how do you know that thing will happen, this is definitely not convincing, and others will not believe it but think that you Ling Shizhe is unwilling to help, and then he will not be a person inside and out.

But apart from that incident, there is no other reason, and the other reasons are even less convincing, which is really a dilemma.

Just when Ling Shizhe was secretly anxious, there was a burst of laughter, Ling Shizhe took a look, and found that Ling Zhigao was teasing his grandson in the courtyard outside the house, and Ling Zhigao, who didn't know what to do, laughed.

Hey...... How did I forget him, although they came to me to borrow money, but such a big thing must not bypass Ling Zhigao, no matter what, this plan must be through his nod even if it is good. In this way, I bought myself time, anyway, this plan will not be approved immediately after handing it in, and I will have enough time to find a way to reject this plan at that time.

Ling Shizhe, who had made up his mind, turned his head to look at the three of them and said: "Big brother, fifth sister, sixth brother, your plan is very good, very comprehensive, with high operability, where do I have no opinion, this matter is a big deal after all, Lao Dou can't get around anywhere, now it's the New Year, not the time to mention this matter, after the New Year, I will talk to Lao Dou about what you think?" ”

"Will Daddy agree?" Ling Fangfang said a little apprehensively.

Ling Shizhe shouted in his heart, Fifth Sister, what you said was so good, you directly handed me a ladder, and said with a smile: "That's why I'm going to tell Lao Dou, otherwise with the old man's character, it would be so easy to convince?" Don't forget that Lao Dou is most concerned about the development of the group's current real estate projects, Lao Dou has invested a lot of energy and effort, now all the work has to revolve around this matter, and everything else will lean back, so the eldest brother and the third sister, I don't have absolute confidence to convince Lao Dou, but anyway, this opportunity is too rare for our entire Ling family, I believe that I will tell Lao Dou, it is better than you to say, don't you say? ”

"Indeed, among our brothers and sisters, your seventh brother has achieved the most, Lao Dou praises you in front of us, Lao Dou will listen to what you say." Ling Shixun nodded and said.

The eldest brother and fifth sister also nodded.

"Okay, I've written it down, let's stop here today, today is December 31st, the last day of the year, and there are 20 minutes before the New Year, here I wish my brothers and sisters a New Year's greetings, and I wish my eldest brother, fifth sister, and sixth brother a happy New Year, and everything will be fine." Ling Shizhe stood up and arched his hand, then bowed.
