December 24th, Christmas Eve.

After fighting the landlord in the morning, Chen Zhiwen returned home in the afternoon, although he didn't care about this Western Christmas, but Hong Kong also set a 2-day holiday, and over the years the family gathered to form a habit, of course, the happier nature is the New Year.

However, when the materials were abundant, every day was the New Year, and there was little interest in the festival, and the same was true in the mainland in later generations.

Today, Chen Tianfu and Wu Xiuling asked the Filipino maid to go home to rest, and the two of them made dinner by themselves, Chen Zhiwen was originally going to go upstairs to sleep, he was a little tired in the morning, and naturally wanted to rest in the afternoon, but he was called up by Wu Xiuling, so that he started, and in the end, Chen Zhiwen found a good position to make meat balls.

The meatballs are not pure meat, but glutinous rice mixed with meat, then wrapped into the shape of a ball, and then put into an oil pan and fried until the surface is golden, surrounded by a thief fragrance, Chen Zhiwen couldn't help but make meatballs, while holding chopsticks from the fried bowl next to him to pick up the meatballs to eat, and unconsciously ate more than a dozen.

"You eat less, you won't be able to eat dinner later." Wu Xiuling hurriedly took away the fried meatballs, but Chen Tianfu also ate them secretly and was told again.

After two hours of busy work in the kitchen, a hearty meal was successfully baked, and it was almost dark.

There was no ceremony, and the three of them ate it, but fortunately there was no turkey that was the most unpalatable.

"Too few people, son." While eating, Wu Xiuling said secretly: "When are you going to bring a girlfriend back?" ”

"What's the hurry, I'm still young now, and my career is the first." Chen Zhiwen hurriedly put "career" first and suppressed the topic, this is really a cliché, every time he comes back, he has to be asked, it is the same in his previous life, and it is still like this in this life.

"Do you talk about a girlfriend and affect your career?" Wu Xiuling snorted and said: "Your career is also considered successful, our Chen family is a little famous now, and there are only three people to eat this dinner." ”

Chen Tianfu obviously didn't take it seriously, he ate his own, he didn't want to care about this.

Chen Zhiwen also ignored it, he wanted to say why he didn't let his father marry a "little" when he was legal a few years ago, but after thinking about it, forget it.

Eating a pound of crabs, I don't know where it came from, the taste is very good, this kind of food is most popular with the rich, it is very refreshing to eat, but there are not many people who really eat it, it can well meet the taste needs, and it will not make people fat, and there will be no risk of diabetes.

At the end of dinner in a small talk, Chen Zhiwen and Chen Tianfu watched the news in TVB, and the main topic in the news was naturally the economy, that is, the situation of the global oil market, and the price fluctuations of Hong Kong real estate.

"Dad, how is your recent real estate?" Chen Zhiwen asked casually, Chen Tianfu had several real estate projects under construction before, and later after the land price plummeted, Chen Zhiwen gave him 8 million funds for turnover.

"The house has been built, but it is not easy to sell, and many people are still waiting." Chen Tianfu also replied casually that with enough funds, even if the house cannot be sold, he is not worried that there will be problems.

Chen Zhiwen said: "If the house arrives for me, I am ready to set up a factory nearby, just to give the employees some places to live." ”

Previously, Chen Zhiwen deliberately purchased several pieces of industrial land, and then built a 12-story industrial office building, which added up to a total of 800,000 square feet (about 80,000 square meters), which would also be the starting point of his industry.

"It's not a problem for you, do you think there is still a lot of room for development in Hong Kong's industry?" Chen Tianfu asked.

"Of course, Dad, if you still have a little capital, I suggest that you can directly invest in industrial real estate, which has a low cost and can acquire a lot." Chen Zhiwen said with a smile.

In the 70s, Hong Kong's industry began to decline, but due to the rapid expansion of the global market and the rapid expansion of the incremental market, even though the proportion of Hong Kong's industry in Asia is getting lower and lower, the aggregate quota is still getting higher and higher.

Hong Kong as a whole can still enjoy 10 years of dividends, and industrial real estate will grow more than residential and commercial office buildings in the next few years, but the plate is too small, and larger real estate companies will not invest fully even if they invest.

Chen Tianfu thought for a while and said, "Okay, I'll go and inspect it tomorrow." ”

Chen Zhiwen thought about it again and said, "Dad, you should know about the exchange of the land certificate for the official letter B, right?" ”

"You know, you're optimistic about this too?" Chen Tianfu asked, when his son said this, he should naturally be optimistic about it.

Chen Zhiwen nodded and said: "Yes, I want to stock up on some, but I won't come forward to buy it, Dad, you know people in the industry, just buy it for me, as many as you want." ”

B kind of official letter for land certificate, this thing first appeared at the end of the 50s, when Hong Kong had a large number of heavy rains because of the weather, the Hong Kong government in order to long-term development, had to carry out a large number of land transformation, in order to ensure that the flood can be discharged in time, and at the same time can also carry out a certain amount of water storage, otherwise, Hong Kong will be a flood and a shortage of water, the instability of water supply, is very bad for the economy, but also affects the income of the Hong Kong government and the British consortium.

However, such a large land project requires a lot of demolition and a lot of money, and you must know that the water control project itself is very costly, and the Hong Kong government does not have enough cash, so it has launched a "type B official letter for land certificate".

The Hong Kong government has issued a "land exchange certificate" for the corresponding area according to the area of the house to be demolished, and anyone who holds this certificate can exchange land with the government according to the ratio.

Even if the land auctioned by the Hong Kong government is within the prescribed range, no matter what price others offer, the Hong Kong government must give the land to the person with priority in accordance with the original contract. It's just that this kind of preferential privilege is not valued by most people.

At that time, the Kowloon Peninsula was waiting to be fed and ready for development, and the land in the New Territories was simply worthless, and if it was given to real estate developers, people might not take a look.

It's just that the real estate market looks at the population for a long time, and when Hong Kong keeps absorbing high-quality immigrants from the north, the demand for real estate cannot be stopped, and the Kowloon Peninsula has a fatal flaw, that is, because of the air traffic control factor, high-rise buildings cannot be built, and the development of commercial economy near the airport is really not a good choice.

As a result, bigwigs with a vision of the future began to lay out very early, such as Lee Shau-kee, as early as the early 70s, began to acquire a large number of "Type B official letter land exchange certificates", which is his judgment that the New Territories is the Hong Kong government's inevitable focus on development.

In the 90s, with the land exchange certificate, Lee Shau Kee won a large number of high-quality land in the New Territories, the cost is outrageously low, and the net profit from residential real estate can be billions of Hong Kong dollars every year, and then with these profits, Lee Shau Kee built the highest building in Hong Kong, IFC (Hong Kong International Financial Center), and the annual rent is not less than that of Harbour City, the largest shopping mall in Hong Kong.

Also discerning is Chen Tingyao, chairman of Nan Fung Group, who began to acquire land exchange certificates as early as the 60s, and with this investment, the Chen family's family wealth has reached 100 billion Hong Kong dollars in the 21st century.
