Buying a fixed residence in Xiangjiang is not only a practical need for Lantian Yu, but also an excellent investment project.

The property market in Hong Kong has experienced three major crashes in history, and the past 1997 was the most serious of them. In 1997, the price of the Hong Kong property market reached an all-time high, and the average price of residential properties once reached HK$6,260 per square foot. Today, the average price of residential properties has fallen to about HK$3,800 per square foot, a drop of about 40%.

Affected by last year's financial crisis, Xiangjiang's real estate was in a depression, and major real estate companies launched a price war.

Zhao's Group is a large-scale group with diversified operations, and although its real estate company is not its main business, it is also small in scale.

Hearing that Lan Tianyu had the intention of buying a house, Zhao Wenhai first pulled him to the two real estate projects in Repulse Bay that his real estate company had just put on sale.

Known as "the first bay in the world", Repulse Bay has the reputation of "Oriental Hawaii" and is the most representative beach in Xiangjiang.

The repulse bay is in the south of Xiangjiang Island, by the mountains and the sea, the bay is crescent-shaped, the slope is gentle and the beach is long, the waves are calm, the water is clear and the sand is fine, the beach is wide and clean and the water is shallow, and the winter is warm and the summer is cool, the water temperature is between 16 degrees Celsius and 27 degrees Celsius, it has always been the resort of the Xiangjiang people to spend the summer tide, and it is also the famous scenic spot that visitors must visit.

As one of the luxury residential areas in Xiangjiang, there are many villas and mansions scattered on the slopes of the bay. There are two real estate projects developed by Zhao's Group, one is mainly a high-end residential area; The other is located on the shore of the beautiful Dalang Bay, with a total of 18 villas, hidden in the verdant forests between the mountains and the sea, and it is difficult for outsiders to see the real face.

Zhao Wenhai directly pulled the blue sky and rain to visit the five villas that had not yet been sold.

These five villas are all famous design, although the area is large and small, but or luxurious atmosphere, or exquisite and elegant, each has its own characteristics, the blue sky and rain are most important to nature is located in the prime location of the building, a three-story villa with an area of more than 12,000 square feet.

After entering this largest and most luxurious villa, after looking inside and out, Lan Tianyu was quite satisfied, and said: "This villa, I like it very much, you let your subordinates calculate how much it is, and I will write a check to you now." ”

"Since last year's financial crisis, the property market has plummeted, and the remaining five villas have been unsalable, especially this one, because the area is too large, and no one cares. Now the price for sale is only 11,000 per square foot, and the total price of this villa is about 130 million Hong Kong dollars. ”

Zhao Wenhai continued earnestly: "If it weren't for you, the miracle doctor, I am afraid that it would be difficult for my grandfather's illness to be cured. Such a great kindness, between our friends, I won't mention the diagnosis money, return, these hurtful words. But as a courtesy, according to the meaning of our old man, we must give this villa to you, and you must not shirk the old man's little care. ”

Putting aside personal feelings, Lan Tianyu's consultation fee is indeed expensive, and it is appropriate to use this villa as a reward.

Since this is Zhao Lao's intention, if Lan Tianyu insists on not accepting it, it will not be beautiful, so he replied: "Zhao Lao is too generous, such a heavy gift, I am really a little flattered." However, since this is the intention of the elders, then I am disrespectful. ”

Lan Tianyu readily agreed, Zhao Wenhai breathed a sigh of relief, with a bright smile on his face, and instructed an executive beside him: "Go through the formalities for Mr. Lan as soon as possible, and pack up properly according to Mr. Lan's requirements, don't delay Mr. Lan's check-in." ”

"The style of decoration of this villa, I am very satisfied, basically nothing needs to be improved. It's just that the location here is a little more remote, for vacation and leisure, very suitable, if it is a daily residence, I still hope to buy a property in the peak area or mid-level area. Now that the property market is in a depression, you should be able to find a suitable property, right? If there is a suitable property, I am ready to buy one or two more properties, which will be considered as an investment. Lan Tianyu asked.

After the property market recovers, not to mention the rise in housing prices, there will definitely not be so many choices now.

"After the financial crisis, our major wealthy people in Xiangjiang have plummeted in net worth and have difficulty in capital turnover, and there are really some people who are interested in selling idle properties, and there must be some luxury houses in the mid-levels and peak areas. I'm going to ask a few well-informed friends right now. ”

After several phone calls in a row, Zhao Wenhai quickly contacted several suitable properties, and he first rushed to the mid-mountain area with Lan Tianyu.

The Mid-Levels of Hong Kong is located between the Victoria Peak and Central, starting from the boundary between Wan Chai District and Central and Western District in the east, Pok Fu Lam in the west, country parks in the south, and Sheung Wan in the north. It not only has a panoramic view of Victoria Harbour, but is also close to Sheung Wan, Central and Admiralty, which are the central business districts, so the transportation is extremely convenient.

Due to the mountainous resources, rich vegetation and fresh air in the mid-mountainous areas, the high-quality properties here have long been the choice of high-ranking officials and prominent celebrities. Coupled with the attention of the government, the public security in the Mid-Levels is good, ranking first among all districts in Xiangjiang.

The luxury house in the mid-levels can be described as a combination of landscape, urban center, ecological resources, good security, privacy and other conditions.

Since 1990, the Mid-levels of Hong Kong have been carefully divided: the mid-levels together with the luxury residential areas of Pok Fu Lam are called "Mid-levels West", the districts of Macdonnell Road, Kennedy Road and Bowen Road are called "Mid-levels Central", and the districts of Tai Hang, Happy Valley and Jardine's Hills are called "Mid-levels East".

The above three different divisions of the Mid-Levels also have different populations. For example, Mid-levels Central is dominated by the wealthy; Mid-levels West is dominated by the middle-class with higher incomes; Mid-levels East is dominated by senior administrative officers and top professionals. The entire Mid-Levels of the Heung River is most famous for its "Mid-Levels Central", which is close to the core area of Central.

Because Lan Tianyu tends to buy a large area of luxury houses, the first place Zhao Wenhai visited with Lan Tianyu was a property of Wu Qingming, the original garment king, located in the central and mid-mountainous areas.

The construction area of this mansion is about 23,000 square feet, with a small garden behind the house, European-style decoration, although someone takes care of it, but in the past two years, no one has lived in it.

After the visit, the blue sky and rain are quite satisfied, and it should be a good choice for investment. However, if it is used for living, it will need to be renovated, so it will not be possible to move in for a short time
