55 Father and son talking
"How much did you buy this cruise?" Chen Tianfu asked.
"It's almost 2 million Hong Kong dollars, it's already very cheap, and the shipyard can't sell it, so it can only be disposed of at a low price." Chen Zhiwen smiled and said.
"Okay, young people, they all love to play, I understand." Chen Tianfu said with a smile: "In the future, I will borrow it, and it is not bad for me and a few friends to come up and play cards." β
"No problem, you can use it if you want." Chen Zhiwen shrugged his shoulders and said, "Later, I will change to a bigger one, and this one will be given to you." β
"Still want to change?" Chen Tianfu asked.
"Of course, but we'll talk about it later." Chen Zhiwen said with a smile, now spending a million to buy a boat to enjoy it doesn't affect anything, and when a few years later, there is a return on the investment of all parties, then naturally the shotgun will have to be replaced, not only in the water, but also in the sky.
"Whatever you want, you can do it if you have money, but I still think it's better to invest it on the ground, haha." Chen Tianfu said with a smile: "During this time, the investment company has gathered a lot of funds, and I have bought two small industrial buildings. β
Although the stock market and land prices have plummeted, this has also led to a large amount of money in the society without a place to invest, capital is liquid and profit-seeking, when an investment company with some strength to buy property in Central recruits funds, there will be many people rushing to send money.
"There are too many naΓ―ve people, but fortunately we are not liars." Chen Zhiwen shook his head and smiled, don't talk about Hong Kong in the 70s, even in the mainland 50 years later, how many people are pitted by various investment companies every year and lose their money.
"One more thing, big office buildings are getting harder and harder to buy, and it may also be the reason why the industrial side is starting to recover, so you can only buy some small ones." Chen Tianfu continued.
"It's okay to buy a small one, and if you demolish it and build it again, it may be more profitable." Chen Zhiwen suddenly said that he knew the future prospects of Hong Kong's manufacturing industry, but now no one else will know, so before the collapse of the manufacturing industry, there was still a lot of money flowing to industrial real estate, so in the late 70s and early 80s, industrial real estate was still very popular.
The industrial real estate acquired by Galaxy is an investment for other plans, and it may be sold in two years, but Hengyi is the brainchild of his father, and he still needs to make long-term plans, at least until 1982.
"It's okay, as long as the real estate market picks up and the value of the property in our hands increases, the debt ratio will drop significantly, and we will have more funds to develop, but we don't know when we will see an improvement." Chen Tianfu frowned and said, in fact, he already knew that Li Jiacheng, Lee Shau Kee, Zheng Yutong and other Chinese-funded emerging real estate companies acquired a large number of real estate, and even did not hesitate to expand their shares to raise funds when the stock market was bad, but he didn't know when he needed to wait, but fortunately, he had a son, and he knew that even if he lost the bet, he would not be good, otherwise, the leverage was so high that it was estimated that he would not be able to sleep at night.
Chen Zhiwen said: "It is estimated that it will recover from next year, real estate has fallen by more than half, this price is basically within the range that the whole people can afford, plus even in the past two years, Hong Kong's young migrant population is still increasing, and they have a demand for property." β
Real estate long-term look at the population, this sentence is the real estate tycoon surnamed Wang in later generations said, but in fact, modern society is a society of confidence, when the society knows that the population will slowly decline, even if there will be a lack of young people after 20 years, then the real estate will begin to fall, and vice versa, capital and a large amount of capital will accelerate the time, so that the future trend will appear as soon as possible.
Of course, the source of Hong Kong's strong real estate recovery is mainly some policies in the north, and no one knows this.
"Then let's wait." Chen Tianfu nodded, and said, "Let's go, go fishing in the back, catch it for your mother to deal with, and we will take care of the food." β
"Come on, the messy fish in the sea, who will do it, I have already prepared the food, you can eat the fish after you catch it, I can bask in the sun, it is rare to be able to get the sun this summer, this anti-snorting glass is really good." Wu Xiuling said with a mask on her face and lying under the heat-shielded glass.
"This glass can be blocked from sunlight by electricity, which is quite magical, and you can get some at home next time." Chen Tianfu said.
"Okay, no problem, but it's not very useful at home, there is the kind of electricity that can block people outside from looking inside, but it doesn't affect people inside to see the glass outside, and it can also block sunlight." Chen Zhiwen explained.
Yacht is a luxury, naturally consider all circumstances, in Europe and the United States, many people like to sunbathe, but Caucasians no matter how resistant to the sun, can not bear the summer sun, can file the sun of the glass naturally a lot, but in the non-summer will become troublesome, so the high price of the use of this kind of electricity to affect the light transmittance of the glass.
"That'll do fine." Chen Tianfu packed up the fishing tackle and took Chen Zhiwen to the back deck, although it was summer, but the sea breeze in Victoria's harbor was strong, and the sea water absorbed heat, the two of them also felt very comfortable.
"Do you know how to fish?" Chen Tianfu asked.
"No, it won't." Chen Zhiwen shook his head and said, in his previous life and in this life, he has never fished, but he has played a lot of fishing games.
"If you have a backup with me, when you were a child in the mainland, it is estimated that you won't even have a place to eat meat." Chen Tianfu laughed and said while preparing for fishing.
"Mainland? Dad, you used to fish and eat when you were a child? Chen Zhiwen asked.
"How can it be so easy, you think that you are smart enough to know how to eat fish, everyone wants to eat, how many people jump into the water to catch fish, and then they are not allowed, and some people use mosquito nets to fish, and they are not allowed, so they can only fish, and they can only sneak at night, and someone will check during the day." Chen Tianfu smiled and said.
"It was really bitter at that time." Chen Zhiwen nodded and said.
"People like you who have lived in Hong Kong since childhood don't understand, let alone eating meat, when I was a child, I couldn't eat white rice a few times a year, and I almost forgot about this kind of life." Chen Tianfu prepared the bait and threw the hook out.
Chen Zhiwen did the same, but it was obviously not so natural and chic, but it didn't matter, and then asked, "Dad, have you thought about going back?" Do you have any relatives in the mainland? β
"My parents died a long time ago, but I still have an older brother, I heard that I went to the capital, and I don't know what happened, but he went to high school and was literate, so he should be able to mix up some fame." Chen Tianfu said with some emotion: "Naturally, I want to go back, but you also know the situation, it's difficult." β
"It's okay, now that the mainland has established diplomatic relations with many countries in Europe and the United States, I think there will always be opportunities in the future." Chen Zhiwen smiled and said.
"Hopefully." Chen Tianfu nodded and said, suddenly the fishing rod in his hand seemed to move, and he was pleasantly surprised: "A fish has been hooked." β
"Damn, so fast?"
