Chapter 223 Investing in Real Estate
The first time to do such a big business, Kong Mei was a little apprehensive, at this time she was driving Mr. Gemand to Wang Zichuan's Shi'ao mansion, the mansion transaction in Taiping Mountain, they had already negotiated the price, just waiting for Wang Zichuan to make a decision.
Kidmand asked, "Miss Kong, can that Mr. Wang really pay all the money at once?" ”
"Yes! Mr. Kidmande! Kong Mei smiled copistically, and the gringo asked this question a dozen times.
Speaking of this Kidmand is really unlucky, he is an American businessman, owns a small TV station in the United States, and later the TV station fell into an economic crisis, coinciding with the boom in the Hong Kong property market, in 1982 came to Hong Kong to do business, and invested a large amount of money in Hong Kong real estate, but unfortunately encountered the economic crisis, not to mention, there were Sino-British negotiations, and all the rich people in Hong Kong panicked and rushed to transfer their assets, resulting in housing prices and the Hong Kong dollar falling again and again.
He made a $30 million deal when he exchanged 4 Hong Kong dollars for huàn 1 US dollars.
But a year later, housing prices plummeted, Hong Kong dollars plummeted, in October, the British government forced 11.5 Hong Kong dollars to huàn1 US dollars, this alone he lost 20 million US dollars, plus the house prices plummeted, now his real estate is only worth about 1.5 million US dollars, not only the TV station was completely acquired by others due to debts, but also the investment in Hong Kong failed, he has nothing, if it is not for the dissuasion of his niece, he has the mind of jumping off the building.
"I hope so!" Kidman smiled, he waited for the money to be repaid! Because he embezzled $30 million from the TV station and sold all the assets in the United States, he still owes more than $8 million to the remaining shareholders, and if he can sell the villa, he can make up $500,000 to pay the bank's interest.
Kong Mei asked while driving, "Mr. Kidmande, do you know what to do in Hong Kong to make money now?" ”
Kidmande's attention was really drawn, and he tried to think. "Two years ago, the most profitable thing in Hong Kong was real estate, and now it'...... I don't know much about Hong Kong, what does Ms. Hung think? ”
Kong Mei said confidently: "The most profitable thing in Hong Kong now is the entertainment industry!" ”
"Entertainment?" Kidmande thought thoughtfully, thinking of the TV station in China that made him miserable, which was the hard work of his life, but he didn't expect to leave him because of a mistake.
Kong Mei said: "Yes, make money when you make movies, and now the Hong Kong film industry is unprecedentedly prosperous, and there was a high-grossing movie last time." ”
"You mean 'The True Colors of Heroes'?" Kidmand knows that. He also accompanied his niece to see this movie, and reluctantly smiled: "I remember that the box office was 43.75 million, which is a remarkable number." ”
Kong Mei said: "This film is made by Mr. Wang's company, not long ago he just bought a luxury house in Dalang Bay Shek O, and it was also a one-time settlement. ”
"That's great! This is the best news I've heard recently. Kidmande was finally happy.
Kong Mei shook her head secretly, this ghost guy is really unfortunate, if the Hong Kong dollar falls a little more, he is afraid that he will file for bankruptcy.
The car slowly drove into Shek O, and Kong Mei was familiar with the road here. In less than ten minutes, the car was parked in front of Wang Zichuan's mansion.
"Mr. Kidmande, please get out of the car, I have made an appointment with Mr. Wang, if it goes well, you can get the check soon."
"Thank you. Beautiful Miss! ”
"Woohoo!"
The first to greet Kong Mei was not Wang Zichuan, but the puppy raised by Nannan.
"Tiny, don't run!" Nan Nan picked up the puppy on the ground and looked at Kong Mei and Kidman outside the fence. turned around and ran, shouting in his mouth: "Big brother, someone is coming." There are foreigners coming! ”
In Nannan's memory, all foreigners are bad people, which she summed up when her mother told the story.
Hearing the screams of the women, Wang Zichuan immediately came out of the room and opened the iron door.
"Mr. Wang, this is the Mr. Kidmand I mentioned to you."
"Hello Mr. Kidmande, I'm Wang Zichuan!"
Kidander held Wang Zichuan's right hand with both hands and said with a smile: "I've admired the name for a long time, Mr. Wang, I like your movie "The True Color of Heroes" very much!" ”
Kong Mei pursed her lips, she didn't expect such a serious ghost guy to be a sycophant.
"Please come in!"
As soon as Kidand entered the hall, he immediately exclaimed, "Oh! God, it's a luxury here, what is that! Oh, God! If I'm not mistaken, it's "The Ball at the Moulin Rouge", oh my! It's incredible to see it in this place! ”
"Mr. Killmande, do you know this painting?" Wang Zichuan faintly felt that this painting was very valuable, and he always happened to meet Qiu Degen at the Peninsula Hotel these days, and the other party always mentioned this painting intentionally or unintentionally.
"Of course I know that the Moulin Rouge Bar, which opened in Montmartre, France, in 1899, attracted celebrities, including the British Crown Prince, as well as many young writers and artists. After more than 100 years of ups and downs, the Moulin Rouge has not faded in the historical situation, but has attracted more and more attention from people all over the world. The red windmill that spins on the roof has become the symbol of Montmartre in Paris, and has attracted tourists from all over the world, and the painting can now sell for at least $20 million! ”
Wang Zichuan knows, no wonder Qiu Degen wants to sell it, 1 million Hong Kong dollars! This old fox! I almost fell for him.
Kong Mei smiled: "I thought that only "Mona Lisa's Smile", "Sunflowers", and "The Slender Man on the Volga" were worth so much money? ”
When it comes to art, Gemand is serious and replies, "No! No! Those paintings are national treasures, no one will sell them, and second-class paintings like "The Ball at the Moulin Rouge" can only appear at auction. ”
Wang Zichuan said with a smile: "When I am short of money, I will also auction it." ”
Gemand solemnly reminded: "Mr. Wang, I suggest that you still put away the oil paintings, it is too dangerous to put them in this place, and they will definitely attract the attention of those who care about them, and when the time comes, they will try their best to come and steal the oil paintings, or it is safer to put them in a safe." ”
"You have a point, $20 million is not a small amount!" Wang Zichuan never imagined that the oil paintings collected by the Hongxing Society pawn shop would be so valuable, and these dirt buns were also used as decorations!
Kong Mei smiled: "Shouldn't we talk about business!" ”
Wang Zichuan suddenly motioned for the two to come to the living room on the second floor and sit down, where the light is better, and you can see the vast and endless sea when you look up.
Kidand said shyly: "If Mr. Wang can pay the balance, I am willing to transfer the villa to your name immediately." ”
The ghost guy is too direct! Kong Mei explained: "Mr. Wang, this is the case, Mr. Kidander is doing business in Hong Kong at a loss, and the domestic company has been acquired, and he still owes a debt, and he wants to hurry up the drought debt!" ”
Wang Zichuan asked, "What kind of business does Mr. Kidman do in Hong Kong?" ”
"Invest in real estate!" Gemand said gloomily.
"No wonder!" Wang Zichuan couldn't help but laugh for a moment, and finally nodded: "No problem, it just so happens that I will have some interest in real estate." ”
As if grasping at the last straw, Gemand said, "Really! I still have two pieces of land, and if Mr. Wang wants to, I will sell them to you together. ”
Kong Mei didn't interject, she was very optimistic about the two pieces of land, if she had the money, she would have bought them from Kidander a long time ago.
"I don't know where it is?"
Kidman said: "One is the wasteland in the New Territories, a very large piece, about 120 acres, and another piece is in Tsim Sha Tsui, but it is less than 3,000 square meters!" ”
Wang Zichuan smiled: "I don't know how much you want to sell?" ”
Kidmand thought about it and said: "I bought the land in the New Territories for $13 million, if Mr. Wang is willing to take over, I can sell it to you for $3 million, and I bid for $8 million in Tsim Sha Tsui, and I am willing to sell it for $1 million." ”
Kong Mei quickly chose the camp and said with a smile: "Mr. Killmande, what you said is that the transaction price is in US dollars, but the Hong Kong dollar has depreciated, compared to a year ago, we have to spend three times the Hong Kong dollar to sell for the same amount of US dollars, if your land is in the United States, we have no objection, but in Hong Kong we still use Hong Kong dollars to trade." ”
Wang Zichuan echoed: "Miss Kong is right, if Mr. Gemand is in a hurry, I can help, what is the price of your two pieces of land, I know very well, there are unfinished buildings everywhere in the New Territories, and your wasteland is probably not worth so much money." ”
Kidmande was dejected and asked, "Mr. Wang, do you want to go to the site to see those two pieces of land, I think there is a lot of potential for development." ”
Kong Mei continued to strike: "I think Kidander has also seen the power of politics, the reason why your two pieces of land have become worthless is because of the negotiations between the two parties, many people have lost confidence in Hong Kong, if you don't make a move, the land will only depreciate even lower." ”
Kidmande said: "You are right, I don't have that much time, maybe I will go bankrupt tomorrow, Mr. Wang, you tell me your price." ”
Wang Zichuan looked at Kong Mei with appreciation, this woman is very set, and she knows Kidand better.
Kong Mei was instructed by Wang Zichuan, and was immediately full of confidence, and said with a smile: "Mr. Killmande, your land in the New Territories can be worth 12 million Hong Kong dollars, and the foundation of Tsim Sha Tsui can be worth 5 million. ”
"Oh my God! That's too low! Gemand looked at Kong Mei blankly, what is the difference between this free gift, the land he bought for 1,300 US dollars, and it was sold for 1,200 Hong Kong dollars? Is there no difference between the US dollar and the Hong Kong dollar?
Wang Zichuan smiled: "If Mr. Kidand agrees, I can pay cash immediately!" ”
Kidmande was immediately moved, and the bank had warned him many times that if he did not pay the interest again, he would be forced to liquidate, so that he would lose even more.
"Alright then, Mr. Wang, good luck!" Kidander was not reconciled, and if the funds allowed him to escape, he believed that with these two foundations, he could rise anew.
Wang Zichuan immediately prepared two contracts, one to buy the Taipingshan villa and the other to buy two foundations, and after signing, he signed a check for 23 million. (To be continued......)
