At the auction, the auctioneer who presided over the auction was also very excited, because he knew that today was a battle between dragons and tigers.

Before the auction, the media in Hong Kong had already begun to analyze it in a big way and came up with a very good prediction.

"Welcome to today's 'Wan Chai Land King' auction, let me first tell you about the rules...... The 77,800 sq ft site is located on the south side of Harbour Road in Wan Chai, and the floor area here is 1.4 million sq ft according to the Planning Department..... Okay, now ready to start bidding, the starting price is 1.8 billion, and the minimum price increase for each bid is 1 million..... Begin! ”

Next, major real estate developers have actively bid prices!

Although the media analyzed Chinese Real Estate and Sino Real Estate in advance, the two consortia are the most likely to invest, but in fact, who is not strong in financial strength today. Moreover, everyone did not bid individually, but as a consortium.

Today, a total of more than a dozen consortiums joined the auction, including Japanese, Australian, British, and Southeast Asian capital.

For a while, it was like a Warring States!

The price soon came to 2.8 billion, and many consortia have given up, and this price is already too high for them.

Lin Zuhui began to hold up the card, which instantly attracted everyone's attention.

"2.81 billion"

The price increase was decent, and he didn't expect to be able to scare off the enemy with a high price, so he steadily increased the price and competed with patience and determination.

Time passed again and again, and the smell of gunpowder in the auction was full.

On the other side, Huang Tingfang's father and son, Guo Bingxiang's faces were a little heavy, but the asking price did not include the lake at all.

Since the beginning of this year, Guo Desheng has also handed over Sun Hung Kai to the three Guo Bingxiang brothers, and retreated into the background, as if the two families of Zheng and Guo had discussed it.

After 10 minutes.

"3.21 billion"

Huang Tingfang shouted a high price, which immediately aroused enthusiastic applause from the auction participants, and Lin Zuhui also cooperated, but his eyes were staring at the auctioneer, and he couldn't be careless about Jingzhou.

Bidding continues!

"3.35 billion"

When Lin Zuhui shouted a high price, the auction applauded again, and everyone had a smile on their faces.

Although I didn't win the bid, everyone is a real estate developer and a reporter, and the higher the auction, the better the real estate situation, and the more news materials to write about.

On the other side, Huang Tingfang's father and son and Guo Bingxiang began to discuss in a whisper, and kept an eye on the auctioneer at any time.

Everyone only saw the three of them discussing in a whisper, and then quickly joined in to continue bidding, and suddenly the people who ushered in the auction exclaimed.

However, careful people also found that Lin Zuhui didn't look at any competitors during the whole process, anyway, he just raised the price, as if he was reading the numbers.

Confident!

I didn't take everyone into account at all, anyway, I kept bidding.

When the price exceeded the 3.35 billion in his previous life, Lin Zuhui's heart did not fluctuate, because he knew that Huang Tingfang's father and son were powerful, so he did not plan to pity himself by the enemy.

He actually has a reserve price in his heart, that is, 4.5 billion!

"3.41 billion"

......

"3.5 billion"

The numbers continue to refresh, and the auctioneers don't know how to describe it, these two are too ruthless!

"3.52 billion"

Lin Zuhui continued to bid for the price, thinking that there would be a continuation, but there was no sound from Sino Real Estate, and he couldn't help but turn his head and look over.

I saw that Huang's father and son and Guo Bingxiang smiled and gestured to withdraw.

The auctioneer was already twelve points satisfied at this time!

In the last Diwang auction, Hang Seng Bank won the auction at 80% higher than the reserve price, which has set a new record for Hong Kong.

Now, the success of the auction at a price 90% higher than the reserve price is enough to be a big news!

Everyone stood up one after another and applauded Lin Zuhui's 'tiger courage'.

It's sincere!

As a real estate developer, someone is pulling up the market price, why not do it!

It can be expected that with today's news of the auction, those real estate speculators will join the new round of 'speculation', and even the public will immediately consider buying a house.

Lin Zuhui's reputation is not low, and he has a very leading effect.

"3.52 billion ..... Third ..... Congratulations to Chinese Estates and Henderson Land! ”

On the way back, Lin Zuhui and Lee Shau Kee sat in the same car, planning to find a restaurant to gather.

In the car, Lee Shau Kee said curiously: "Do you have a reserve price?" ”

Because at the beginning of the discussion, Lin Zuhui said that he could withdraw at any time, in the case of too high a price; The implication is that Lin Zuhui didn't want to reveal his highest price, so he didn't ask.

"Yes, 4.5 billion is my reserve price!"

Lee Shau Kee suddenly gasped in his heart, and asked himself if he won the sky-high price of 4.5 billion, he might withdraw. In his opinion, even if it is 20% of the shares, he needs more than 1 billion investments. The price is too high, it is better to buy land in the market as a reserve.

.......

Afternoon.

In the conference room of Chinese Estates, a meeting was held on the design blueprint of the 'Wan Chai Diwang', and the co-design unit, P&T Hong Kong P&T Architects, and its partner Lee Shau-kee were invited.

As early as before the auction, Lin Zuhui had already decided to hold this meeting, and his confidence was very great.

Although Lin Zuhui is not a professional architect, the whole building still has to be based on his ideas, and the design unit can only design on his basis.

"Let me start with my thoughts, the building is 78 stories high and 375 meters ....."

"The building looks triangular, but it's not really triangular because its sharp corners are cut off. There are two reasons for this: firstly, to have more usable indoor space; And it is more important to avoid offending your neighbors by rushing at them with their tax profits, which is not only rude, but more importantly, it hinders feng shui. ”

Everyone nodded one after another, approving Lin Zuhui's idea of appearance!

Lin Zuhui then said: "Because I want to build a landmark building in Hong Kong and one of the world's top ten famous buildings, I want to make Central Plaza clearly visible to all districts in Hong Kong and Kowloon. Do you have any design ideas for this? ”

When the news of the Wan Chai Land King auction came out, the design unit had already been asked by Lin Zuhui to prepare for the idea, and it was time to test.

A famous designer said: "The lights at night, of course, are the most eye-catching!" In addition, we can use the world's most advanced technology to design a 'Colorful Timepiece' that combines changing colors, brilliant lighting, dynamic dynamics, creative ideas, and strong courage. ”

Lin Zuhui thought about it and quickly recognized: "This idea should be well designed, and it is particularly important to integrate the most advanced technology, the nineties is the era of science and technology, and all the designs of our buildings must be the most advanced technology in the world." ”

As long as the construction of buildings in Hong Kong began in the 80s, they will not be left behind even in the 21st century, such as the Exchange Square Building.

In fact, in the late 70s, computer elements have been added to the design of commercial computers in Hong Kong, and the power supply, water supply, fire protection, alarm, air intensity regulation, communication system, etc. of the entire building have begun to be controlled by computers. A more representative example is the Gloucester Building, which began to be built in the late 70s, and has already achieved technological technology.

In fact, before the 80s, few real estate developers in Xiangjiang dared to invest in large-scale commercial buildings, because it was not conducive to the company's capital circulation; Because of this, there were small and medium-sized buildings everywhere at that time, which also provided conditions for large real estate developers to start merging buildings and preparing to build first-class commercial buildings.

This design meeting about the 'Central Plaza' ended in the evening, and Lin Zuhui invited everyone to have dinner together.

He attaches great importance to this project, first of all, the investment is not low, conservative at 5.355 billion;

Secondly, Hong Kong's landmarks and the world's top ten famous buildings are all proud representatives of the Lin family.

......

Following.

Lin Zuhui came to ACN Center, because now that New Era Group and Chinese Real Estate have one local office, he naturally only needs one office.

Chinese Estates' current debt has increased to $3 billion, but it has the title of 'Small Land' because of the large number of rental properties it has in its collection, second only to Hongkong Land and Wharf.

At this time, there were three buildings under construction by Chinese Estates: Grand Land Centre in Causeway Bay, Entertainment Club Building in Central, and Central Plaza in Wan Chai.

These three buildings are undoubtedly high-quality buildings, and the cheapest entertainment building in the future is estimated to be worth 8 billion. Although Garland Centre is in Causeway Bay, its property is 600,000 square feet, and the price is 15 billion.

And the most valuable Central Plaza, there is no problem with 40 billion in the future!

Although the future value is high, the current construction cost of the three buildings is also very high: the estimated 1.8 billion yuan for Central Plaza, 800 million yuan for Garland Center, and 500 million yuan for Entertainment Building, with a total construction cost of about 3 billion yuan, which is enough to double the debt of Chinese Real Estate.

Of course, there is no need for a lump sum investment, and the debt will not be incurred in full immediately, but in stages.

Lin Zuhui estimated that before the crash, the rent, cash on the books, and securities of Chinese Real Estate were expected to be 1.5 billion; Selling scattered properties can probably return 2 billion.

Therefore, Chinese Real Estate still has a strong momentum.

I am not afraid of high debts, and after the crash, it is just conducive to the privatization of Chinese real estate.

Picking up the newspaper on his desk, Lin Zuhui saw that the headline was indeed Chinese Real Estate, and the big '45,200 yuan per square foot' on the headline was the key.

The analysis of the article pointed out that in May 1987, Hang Seng Bank bought the old site of the Central District Fire Station at a unit price of 37,200 yuan per square foot, creating the highest record for land sales in Xiangjiang; Now, only a year and a half, Chinese Estates and Henderson have broken that record with a unit price of 45,200 yuan per square foot, and it is still in Wan Chai. Of course, the large land in Wan Chai determines its higher price, after all, it is convenient for real estate developers.

I picked up another newspaper, and the news on it was a bit critical of Chinese real estate. The article pointed out that four years ago, New World Development won the land of the convention and exhibition center just across the road without paying a penny, and it was 335,000 square feet. The contrast between the high and the low is clear at a glance.

Lin Zuhui put down the newspaper firmly, isn't this TMD nonsense, he has already passed ten years, and it is strange if he does not win the convention and exhibition center project.

The key is that the land in the commercial area of the island is now very scarce, not to mention the king of the land, so it's no wonder if everyone doesn't grab it.
