50 Taikoo Shing
"How many..."Wang Shiya looked at Chen Zhiwen with some envy, this rich person just speaks differently, a house can be bought by the savings of ordinary people for a lifetime, but a few houses are like supermarket shopping for this kind of person.
"Taikoo Shing is not far from here, so let's go and have a look." Chen Zhiwen suddenly changed lanes and entered the right side, preparing to go to Taikoo Shing.
"Buy it today?" Wang Shiya asked.
"If you don't buy it, go and see, it's close anyway, I'll find out." Chen Zhiwen said with a smile. A few houses are not worth a visit to him in person, but if there are several houses, it is still okay to go and see them.
If you want to buy, you also need to be responsible for it through a professional or lawyer, especially now when the land price is still sluggish, and you have to desperately reduce the price.
In the future, it will rise dozens or hundreds of times, and if you buy it today, you have to keep the price down.
As for going directly to the real estate to buy like in later novels, it is a fool's behavior, and at the same time, it is easy to be targeted, and there is no benefit.
The car soon arrived at the territory of Taikoo Shing, Mercedes-Benz sedan is still very popular among the wealthy people in Hong Kong, and those who can afford to drive a car are generally not middle-class, at least a senior worker at the vice president level.
But when she saw the twins who got off the car, even she was shocked speechless, the twins themselves are relatively rare, this kind of sister flower that looks exactly the same, I don't know if I don't see it in this world.
βhelloοΌβ Chen Zhiwen waved his hand to remind.
"Hello, sir." The sales came back to his senses and said apologetically. It seemed that for a moment, she wondered if her sexual interest had changed.
"Let's take a look and tell us about it." Chen Zhiwen said with a smile.
"Okay, three, please come with me." The sales immediately returned to professional service, led the three into the lobby, and introduced the three of them to the Taikoo Shing building.
Chen Zhiwen also under the leadership, roughly understand some of the situation of Taikoo Shing, Taikoo Shing's development plan was last year, but unfortunately encountered an economic crisis, delayed a year before the project began, all aspects have not yet started, it is estimated that it will not be able to start laying the foundation until next year.
"The Hong Kong government stipulates that pre-sales can only start 8 months before the completion of the property, and you have started to sell the property before the foundation is laid?" Chen Zhiwen asked with some surprise.
Although Hong Kong is only a small city, it still has some great inventions, such as pre-sales, and the shared area that the mainland hated in later generations.
In the 50s, the normal operation of Hong Kong real estate is to sell the house after it is built, which puts the developer under a lot of financial pressure, so a business genius came up with a pre-sale system, from the perspective of businessmen, so that the funds can be recovered early, reduce the expenditure on bank loan interest, and for buyers, they can also set a house in advance to avoid rising house prices in the future.
But capitalists will not give up any opportunity, the benefit of pre-sale is that the investment of funds is less, equivalent to the increase of leverage, so, the financial bubble is bigger, Hong Kong real estate from the 60s-80s, just 20 years on three big ups and downs, and the pre-sale of this high-risk financial system has a great connection, at the same time, the rise of Chinese capital in the 60-70s, the fundamental reason is also the use of the pre-sale system, rapid development, gathering funds, and finally in the 80s to develop into a scale that can challenge British capital.
This is actually the same as hedging in the investment community, which was originally intended to reduce investment risks, but as a result, financiers played with flowers, and leverage became bigger and bigger.
Obviously not the first time the sales have encountered this kind of problem, he explained with a smile: "So now it's not a pre-sale, it's a reservation, you just need to provide a 5% deposit, and next year or the year after, you can buy our house at the current price, we will clearly mark it in the contract, there will be absolutely no problems." β
"So what if house prices fall?" Chen Zhiwen asked with a smile.
"Mr. said that the house prices in Hong Kong are now back to 5 years ago, and it is unlikely that they will fall again." The saleswoman said a little unconfidently that the company's sales policy is actually the strongest evidence of its uncertainty about future housing prices.
"Okay, I'll think about it." Chen Zhiwen nodded, but his heart blossomed, according to Swire's current policy, as long as he pays a 5% deposit, he can lock in the future house, which is equivalent to 20 times the leverage? And leveraged assets will rise sharply in the next few years, this investment is much stronger than investing in industrial real estate, the only drawback is that there are only 3 properties launched by Taikoo Shing now, and there are only 3 properties available for sale, and I don't know how much I can buy.
If it weren't for accompanying the pair of twins to see the house, I didn't know that there would be such a good thing, but then again, the British foreign firm is too conservative in real estate investment, not at all like the Chinese capital dare to expand with all its might, as far as he knows, in order to develop the Taikoo Shing project, Swire Group has sold part of the land in Saisai Lake and Taikoo Valley for 120 million yuan in cash, as the initial start-up capital for the development of Taikoo Shing.
As a result, both Cheung Kong and Nan Fung Group, which purchased the land, made huge profits from the later development of Sai Sai Building and Nan Fung Sun Chuen. Later, because he had no real estate experience, he jointly developed Taikoo Shing with Dachang Real Estate, and although he kicked him later, he still shared the other party's profits of hundreds of millions of Hong Kong dollars.
In fact, in the 60s, many British investors sold a large number of land, or developed joint ventures with Chinese-funded real estate.
After looking at it twice, Chen Zhiwen didn't have any next move, and the saleswoman was not in a hurry, she saw that Chen Zhiwen had money, and the possibility of buying it was still very high.
But the result still disappointed her, after a while, Chen Zhiwen was ready to leave, for such a potential customer, the saleswoman naturally did not want to miss it, she felt that there was still a chance, so Chen Zhiwen handed over her business card before leaving.
In the car, Chen Zhiwen put away his business card and said: "If you want to buy it, buy it, I'm also ready to start, how big are you going to buy?" β
"We're going to buy a 600-square-foot one." Wang Shiqian said after fastening her seat belt.
"600 square feet, too small, I will buy a set of 1500 square feet, and I will give it to you when the house is delivered, but you can also buy another set as an investment." Chen Zhiwen said with a smile, in a small place like Hong Kong, it is actually a kind of sadness to use a thousand feet as a luxury house, if it is not for the ridiculously expensive housing prices, who will take a thousand feet seriously?
"The house just now doesn't have a 1,500-square-foot one, right?" Wang Shiya asked in the back row.
Chen Zhiwen shrugged and said: "Buy two sets, don't you have it, and it's more convenient to visit the door in the future, isn't it?" β
