Under the premise that Chen Zhiwen and John Shi reached a cooperation, the cooperation between Hutchison and Swire Group has increased rapidly, after all, the transaction is inevitable, and there is no need to make a choice, only need to negotiate the price.

After a week of negotiations, Swire Group reached a partnership agreement with Hutchison and Galaxy Properties to sell a 640,000-square-foot Saisai Sai Sai West site in North Point, Hong Kong Island, to Galaxy Properties for HK$91 million, and a 35,000-square-foot commercial site on Park Cloud Road in Admiralty to Galaxy Properties for HK$78 million.

After the official news was announced, the real estate market in Hong Kong was in an uproar.

Cheung Kong Headquarters:

"I'm sorry, Li Sheng, I didn't get the piece of land in Saixi Lake." Sheng Yongneng, vice president of Changjiang Industrial, said with some disappointment.

"If you don't get it, no one would have thought that Chen Zhiwen would suddenly jump out and buy this land, which is unexpected." Li Jiacheng smiled lightly.

The acquisition of this piece of land in Saixi Lake from Swire, he has thought about it carefully, and calculated that several other Chinese-funded real estate companies are running their own businesses, and they should not suddenly come out to grab business, but he never thought that Chen Zhiwen would make a move, after all, the current Hutchison, although it has improved somewhat, but the debt is still extremely heavy, and under normal circumstances, it should be operated conservatively, develop its own land and then slowly repay the debt.

"A failure is a failure, and I made the company lose a huge deal." Sheng Yongneng continued.

"It's not about losses, hundreds of millions of Hong Kong dollars, in today's Hong Kong, you can buy other land, no matter what." Li Jiacheng said: "Besides, the transaction between Galaxy Real Estate and Swire was personally negotiated by Chen Zhiwen and John Shi, these two people came forward in person, there may be other transactions, what we can see is just announced, in this case, even if I come forward, it is useless, so don't take this matter to heart, the Hong Kong real estate market is beginning to recover, opportunities abound, since Saixi Lake has not succeeded, then quickly lock in other land, in addition to Swire, there are many British companies in Hong Kong selling real estate, such as HK Electric, Wheelock." ”

"The biggest problem now is that we don't know how many resources there are behind Chen Zhiwen." Sheng Yongneng said with some worry, for the players in Hong Kong's current real estate market, they are very clear that among the British capital, except for Land, the others are basically the source of welfare for their Chinese capital, and among the Chinese capital, everyone is probably clear about how much strength they have, but Chen Zhiwen, after acquiring Hutchison, still has the spare strength to acquire other land, I don't know how deep the foundation is.

"Just avoid it, there is no need to worry about this kind of thing, we have the Canadian Imperial Bank behind us, and the funding aspect has never been a problem, it depends on our guts." Li Jiacheng said indifferently.

"Okay, I see." Sheng Yongneng nodded and said, "Then I'll go find a suitable project for us now." ”

"Okay, good work." Li Jiacheng smiled and watched Sheng Yongneng leave the office.

"It's a pity!" Li Jiacheng shook his head, in front of his subordinates, he naturally had to show an indifferent attitude, besides, this is indeed not the fault of his subordinates.

Although Hong Kong does not have land of similar quality and area, it is also in the hands of other British capital, and if you want to get it, you have to see the opportunity, and you have to negotiate for a long time, and it takes a lot of energy.

Galaxy Group Headquarters:

"Chen Sheng, I discussed with some officials of the Hong Kong Education Bureau the construction plan of Zhiwen Primary School, which is the ten places recommended to us by the Hong Kong government, and they mean that we should choose five of them to build schools, here are the photos of all the places and the habits of the neighborhood." Li Haonan carried a stack of envelopes and a large map of Hong Kong.

The map is marked with ten circles with serial numbers from 1 to 10, and the common envelopes, each with a serial number, apparently corresponds to the place on the map.

"Yuen Long, Tin Shui Wai, Tuen Mun, all in this area." Chen Zhiwen looked at the map and said.

"Yes, these places are relatively poor, and then the population is relatively large, so the demand for schools is also relatively high, and although the economy of these towns in Sheung Shui and Shigang is not good, relatively speaking, there are relatively few permanent residents." Li Haonan explained.

"There are a lot of people in these places because they all come from the mainland, right?" Chen Zhiwen smiled and said.

More than 100 years ago, it was one of the largest deep-water ports in Asia and the largest supply point for cargo ships, so the early Hong Kong people mainly gathered on Hong Kong Island, and a small number in Kowloon.

With the development of time, the population is increasing, and the population of Hong Kong Island is too large, so the market economy relies on high housing prices to drive the crowd to Kowloon, but most of them are also developing from south to north, slowly from Tsim Sha Tsui in Kowloon to Yau Ma Tei, Mong Kok, Tseung Kwan O, Kowloon Tong, Sha Tin, and Tin Shui Wai and Yuen Long on the other side of Hong Kong are less populated, but it is suitable for living, and it is close to the mainland, so the population is also increasing.

In a few years, when the real estate economy explodes and the housing prices in Kowloon are speculated to the point that ordinary people can't afford it, the Hong Kong government will be ready to build Yuen Long into a new town in Hong Kong.

But that was after that, and now it is still very poor, because the transportation is not developed, and there are not many factories.

"Yes, especially in Tin Shui Wai, many mainlanders come to Hong Kong with their children, and although they have obtained ID cards, it is difficult to find a job, so they can only do odd jobs there to live." Li Haonan nodded and said.

"Then it's mainly built in Tin Shui Wai, where people have lower incomes and need more opportunities for their children to learn." Chen Zhiwen thought for a while and said.

"Chen Sheng, there is another problem, it is easy for us to build a school, and the Hong Kong government has promised to send some teachers over, but the parents of the students may not send their children over, and the tuition and living expenses are a lot of investment for many families." Li Haonan continued: "I have investigated, many families may really only have enough to eat, let them support their children to go to school, I am afraid that they will not be able to do so. ”

"It's okay, I've thought about this, if you are sure that there is really no income at home, you can send money from our Huagang Fund to subsidize it, but the money must be used on the blade, and you must check it clearly." Chen Zhiwen said.

"Okay, I'll let the China Hong Kong Fund conduct a preliminary investigation." Li Haonan said.

"In addition, I can make an announcement that in the future, if the students of Zhiwen Primary School have very good grades, we can further support them, as long as they have the ability, it is not a problem to support them to the university." Chen Zhiwen said again.

In many cases, giving a hope stimulates more than ten times the potential, otherwise, everyone knows that even if their children are talented, they will not have the money to go to college, so they will only give up early.

"If that's the case, I think more people will be willing to send themselves to school." Li Haonan said with a smile that normal people hope that their children can have the opportunity to receive education, whether it is the super-rich or the most ordinary families, the poor hope that their children can change their fate by learning.

"You can help as much as you can, is the structure of the school out?" Chen Zhiwen then asked.

"Not yet, it may need to be specifically designed for different locations." Li Haonan replied.

"Well, show me when the structure is designed." Chen Zhiwen continued: "However, the decoration style should be the same for several schools, and in the future, in other places, and even other countries, it needs to be consistent, so that anyone can find it, which is the unique style of our Zhiwen Primary School." ”

"Unique style?" Li Haonan pondered.

"I can't think of it, and I can't think of it, that's why we paid for designers." Chen Zhiwen smiled and said: "Zhou Jiayang went to the United States to invite a world-famous architect to Hong Kong, and I will ask him to take a look at it when the time comes." ”
