In fact, since Margaret Thatcher stumbled in front of the Great Hall of the People two months ago, the situation in Hong Kong's stock market has been sluggish. But fortunately, China and Britain are still negotiating, and the citizens are waiting and watching, and there is still a trace of luck in their hearts.

As we enter November, the first round of the first phase of the Sino-British negotiations is coming to an end, and the spokesmen of both sides are very vague. However, it can still be seen between the lines that the negotiations have been deadlocked, and there has been no progress in the negotiations in the past two months.

The British side threatened that once China took back Hong Kong, Hong Kong would fall into chaos, and began to create public opinion and fan the flames in Hong Kong. Hong Kong's stock market, which had been a slow decline in the first two months, saw the Hang Seng Index fall from 941 to 703 in three days and continue to fall.

The worst fall was by real estate companies, and while the stock market fell, Hong Kong's property and land prices also plummeted. The tender price of an industrial site in Kowloon Bay, Hong Kong, fell from $150 million to $15 million, a drop of more than 90%.

Why did Hong Kong's land prices fall so outrageously?

Because according to the "New Territories Lease Agreement" signed between the Qing Dynasty and the United Kingdom, the New Territories will be returned to China after 99 years (1997), which makes the legal period of the New Territories land sold by the British zhèngfǔ only more than ten years.

The phrase "97 limit" has become popular in Hong Kong, which roughly means that all land bought in the New Territories will be repossessed and confiscated by China in 97.

Who would dare to buy it?

In addition, last year the UK enacted the British Nationality Act 1981, which stipulates that anyone born in a British Dependency is eligible to become a British citizen, provided that one of the parents is a British citizen or settled in the UK.

The introduction of this bill caused a wave of immigrants in Hong Kong last year, and many Hong Kong people have applied to immigrate to the UK in order for their children to become British citizens. This move caused Hong Kong's property market to plummet last year, and then gradually stabilized, but now because of the British public opinion in Hong Kong, Hong Kong's immigrants have exploded again, which has further pushed Hong Kong's property market to plummet.

Phoenix TV, inside Kang Jianfei's office.

Old man Wang Kuang said straight to the point: "Kang Xiaoyou, this time the British public opinion is turbulent, and I hope your TV station can cooperate with Xinhua News Agency." ”

"What kind of cooperation is it?" Kang Jianfei asked. To be honest, he didn't want to mix with this kind of thing, after all, the British zhèngfǔ still had to rule in Hong Kong for more than ten years.

Wang Kuang said with a smile: "It's not that your TV station wants to show that it supports our party's position, you just need to objectively publicize China's policies on the TV station." It can be summed up in six words: 'Ma Zhao Run, Dance Zhao Dan', China's zhèngfǔ promises that the system will remain unchanged after the repossession of Hong Kong. ”

Kang Jianfei thought for a while and said, "Is this okay?" I invited the editor-in-chief of Wen Wei Po and the vice president of Yindu Organization to be guests, and everyone went to "Qiang Qiang Threesome" to talk slowly, so that they could publicize the Communist Party's policy towards Hong Kong. In addition, in the news program, I can also help you promote it appropriately. ”

Seeing Kang Jianfei's cooperation, Wang Kuang said happily: "The party and the people will not forget Mr. Kang's contribution to the reunification of the motherland. ”

Sending Wang Kuang away, Kang Jianfei sighed and called the person in charge below to give instructions.

At this juncture in the first round of the first phase of the Sino-British negotiations, both China and the UK are playing the mass card and trying to pull the Hong Kong people to their side.

In the past few days, Hong Kong's Chinese-biased and English-biased newspapers have once again set off a war, and even Kim Yong's "Ming Pao" has been involved.

More than 10 years ago, Jin Yong was called "Jackal Yong" by Hong Kong leftist newspapers, and the original words were "the best Han Jiān dog gall Jackal Yong, a reverse bone yīn wet evil dog." ”

But at this time, Ming Pao was clearly on the side of the mainland, becoming comrades-in-arms with the leftist newspapers in Hong Kong, sparing no effort to propagate the policies of the CCP - Jin Yong was personally received by Deng Gong last year.

Contrary to the position of "Ming Pao", this time Shao Yifu's TVB is biased towards the British side, after all, Shao Yifu is a knight who was knighted by the Queen of England.

Kang Jianfei even speculated very viciously: Shao Yifu, who has always been a slammer, suddenly decided to donate 100 million yuan to the mainland every year a few years before Hong Kong's return to the motherland.

TVB helped the British side to publicize, and Kang Jianfei's Phoenix TV was naturally favored by ** and became a public opinion weapon against TVB.

Public opinion has attracted the attention of all Hong Kong people, after all, the outcome of the Sino-British negotiations is related to their future.

Kang Jianfei was not interested in this, and his eyes were always on the land and buildings in Hong Kong.

The land prices on Hong Kong Island and Kowloon have not fallen so terribly, but the land prices in the New Territories have plummeted, basically to the point where no one buys cabbage. Because even if the land in the New Territories is bought, the validity period on the title deed is only until 1997, which wronged person would spend money to buy a piece of land that is only valid for more than 10 years?

Li Chaoren and Fok Taiheng were personally received by Deng Gong last year, and they may be very confident in Hong Kong's future, but they will never buy land at this time. Because the stock price of their real estate company has plummeted, the existing houses in their hands cannot be sold, and the company has lost a lot of money.

On November 8, Kang Jianfei spent 12 million Hong Kong dollars to buy more than 300 acres of wasteland between Tseung Kwan O and Tiu Keng Ling at the price of cabbage for the construction of Tseung Kwan O studios - the ultimate goal is to build Tseung Kwan O Film and Television City and relocate Oriental DreamWorks and Phoenix TV.

On November 10, Kang Jianfei bought Yau Ma Tei Cinema (including land), one of the five major cinemas in Hong Kong, at a price of 6 million.

The so-called five major cinemas, as it was said 30 years ago, only had 500 seats in Yau Ma Tei Cinema, and some of the facilities were outdated. This theater originally belonged to the Shaw Brothers Cinema Line, but it was rented by Lei Juekun more than two years ago and joined the Golden Princess Cinema Line. If the development of the original time and space is followed, Yau Ma Tei Cinema will withdraw from the Golden Princess after three years and join the rì live cinema chain (a cinema chain specializing in sè. love movies).

Although the Yau Ma Tei Cinema does not belong to the Golden Princess's leading cinema, hearing that Kang Jianfei bought this cinema, Lei Juekun was still very angry.

However, Lei Juekun has no time to fight with Kang Jianfei, although he has lost control of Kowloon Bus last year, but after all, there are still a large number of shares. Moreover, Lei Juekun is also the second largest shareholder of Kowloon Construction, and under the plummeting stock prices of the two listed companies, Lei Juekun's net worth has shrunk by nearly half.

On November 12, Kang Jianfei bought a 12-story building in Kowloon at a low price of 25 million yuan and renamed it Oriental Building. Among them, the floors facing the street are shopping malls, the upper floors are office buildings, and the middle two floors were transformed into multiplex cinemas - Oriental Cinema by Kang Jianfei's order.

Oriental Building was originally owned by Xinshi Lujie Real Estate, and when Yang Xcheng was serving his sentence in prison last year, it happened that the bubble in Hong Kong's property market burst. By the time Yang Xcheng was released from prison, his new world Lujie real estate had been suspended, and he still owed more than 300 million huge debts.

Many properties in the New Century have been auctioned off and the building has a steady rental income, so it is retained to pay off the debt on a monthly basis. It's a pity that the Hong Kong property market plummeted again a few days ago, and this building was also put up for auction, and the auction reserve price was only 18 million.

On November 15, Kang Jianfei spent 53 million yuan to buy the Lu Haitong Building at No. 31 East Central of Queen's Road. With only 13 floors, the Luhaitong Building is twice as expensive as the Oriental Tower because it is located in a prime location on Hong Kong Island and its owner, Luhaitong Company, is very strong. If it weren't for the loss of Luhaitong's other businesses and the need for money, Kang Jianfei would not sell it even if he offered 60 million.

After Kang Jianfei bought the Luhaitong Building, Kang Jianfei used all the other floors for rent, and what he valued most was the Queen's Theater on the ground floor of the building. The location of this cinema is really good, right outside the Queen's Road Central, and the flow of people here is very terrifying.

By the way, Zhang Guorong's father's clothing store is in the Queen's Theater shopping mall.

Since Kang Jianfei bought it, then this building can no longer be called Lu Haitong Building, and Kang Jianfei didn't bother to think about the name, so he directly filled in the Queen's Building when he changed his name.

In addition, Kang Jianfei spent 30 million yuan to buy 18 villas in Mid-Levels, Waterloo Road Mountain, Repulse Bay, Lantau Island and other places. In particular, some of the holiday villas on Lantau Island are even more luxurious than the mid-levels villas, but the price is equivalent to giving them away, and they are not even as good as an apartment on Hong Kong Island.

Why is it so cheap?

Because the real estate companies that build holiday villas are either bankrupt or on the verge of bankruptcy, many villas are directly forced to be auctioned by banks. Now that the houses on Hong Kong Island have plummeted, maybe one day the Sino-British negotiations will break down, who will have the leisure to buy a villa in a remote resort?

When Kang Jianfei bought these villas, no one bid with him at all, as long as someone asked for a house, other buyers tacitly chose to give up. Anyway, there are still a lot of houses waiting to be sold, and they don't need to fight for it.

In less than two weeks, Kang Jianfei had spent more than 140 million yuan of the 200 million funds raised, including the construction of the Tseung Kwan O studio and the Oriental Cinema, as well as the renovation of the Yau Ma Tei Cinema.

Now Kang Jianfei has three theaters in his hands, among which the Queen Theater can be used as a leading theater and immediately join the New Era Theater Line, but the other two theaters will have to wait for some time.

Although the Yau Ma Tei Cinema has only 500 seats, and the surrounding residents are also some middle and lower class civilians, it is the center of the old district, and the customer source is very abundant. The Yau Ma Tei Cinema is a single-storey building, and Kang Jianfei plans to go up two more floors to transform the Yau Ma Tei Cinema into a three-storey multiplex cinema.

As for the Oriental Cinema, the installation of seats, audio equipment, and other renovation work will take at least one or two months to complete.

The locations of these three theaters are good, as long as Hong Kong films are prosperous, there is no need to consider the problem of loss at all.

In addition to these three theaters, Kang Jianfei's eyes are also fixed on Hong Kong's oldest theater, the Taiping Theater.
