"Haha, the scale of Cheung Kong Industrial, compared with Chen Sheng, is like a child." Li Jiacheng said with grace.

Although I don't want to admit it, but Hong Kong's Chinese-funded real estate companies have recognized this reality, and Chen Zhiwen, who has rescued Hutchison from the debt crisis, has far surpassed them in terms of capital scale, and even the real estate five tigers combined can't compare to others, not to mention, there are several companies under the other party that specialize in overseas business, although they don't know the specific profits, but the scale of Hong Kong is very large, and a beautiful industrial park has not been fully invested, and it has solved the employment of about 15,000 people.

"In terms of real estate operation, whether it is Hutchison or Galaxy, compared with Cheung Kong Industrial, it is still a lot worse." Chen Zhiwen smiled and said.

"Experience is something to learn, it's nothing." Li Jiacheng said: "Chen Sheng, it is rare to have a lot of well-known Chinese entrepreneurs in Hong Kong here today, otherwise, I will introduce you to you." ”

"Okay, thank you very much." Chen Zhiwen nodded, he has actually seen a lot of familiar faces, Hong Kong businessmen who are a little famous, even if they don't know each other, they will know each other's appearance through some channels, in the same way, these people basically know Chen Zhiwen, but they don't know each other, so it's not good to come and talk directly.

Under the introduction of Li Ka-shing, Chen Zhiwen met with the more famous Chinese entrepreneurs in Hong Kong, such as Cheng Yu-tung of New World Group, Lee Shau Kee of Henderson Industrial, Kwok Tak-shing of Sun Hung Kai Properties, Chan T-hei of Hang Lung Group, Chen Tak-tai of Dah Chong Properties, Wong Tak-fai of Huahan Group, Chen Tinghua of Nan Fung Industrial, Wong Chi-cheung of Sino Properties, Luo Yingshi of Great Eagle Properties, and so on.

After a while, the famous Chinese real estate giants in Hong Kong basically know each other, these people are basically the future supergiants in Hong Kong, as long as a few years later, under the crazy appreciation of the real estate market, these people will become billionaires, or even billions, and gradually transform from real estate to slowly monopolize all walks of life in Hong Kong, so as to cut off the opportunity for latecomers to cross classes.

In the 80s, there were still figures like Da Liu who could rise, but in the 90s, it was basically gone.

In addition to Chinese capital, there are also many British capital, the most conspicuous is naturally Niu Bijian and Bao Fuda, who were surrounded by many British ghosts, but after these two saw Chen Zhiwen, they still came over to say hello.

"Mr. Chen, I didn't expect you to come here too." As he got closer, he said with a smile.

"Who wouldn't be interested in the MTR property in Central, the whole of Hong Kong?" Chen Zhiwen said.

"Yes, however, Chen Sheng has just recently acquired two buildings in Wheelock, and is developing a super-large community like Whampoa Garden, is there really no pressure in terms of funds?" Niu Bijian asked casually.

"Hongkong Land's recent moves are not small, and everyone is just each other." Chen Zhiwen replied.

"Okay, then each according to his ability and see the real chapter." Niu Bijian said with a smile.

"To each his own." Chen Zhiwen said lightly.

Although it is competition, but the smell of gunpowder is not enough, real estate auctions, Hong Kong will have several times a month, everyone is also selective participation, each by strength competition, but also very fair, if there is a conflict because of this, then Hong Kong will not have normal business.

At 10 a.m., everyone was seated in their seats, with a table in front of them and an envelope on it.

The people of the MTR company soon appeared, and under everyone's attention, the host introduced the information of the two plots of land auctioned today, including the size of the area, the plot ratio, the commercial nature, and so on.

In fact, everyone present already knows this information, but you still have to listen to it, two subway entrances, a piece of land next to each subway entrance, the area of the Central subway entrance is 33,000 square feet, and the Admiralty subway entrance is 41,000 square feet, and the plot ratio is 5.5, that is to say, two pieces of land can build a total of 370,000 square meters of commercial office buildings.

This area is not very large, not as good as the newly built Galaxy Headquarters Building, but the location is obviously much better, and the commercial value of the subway entrance can be said to be the most in a city, and the price is naturally very high.

After the introduction, under the explanation of the moderator, everyone put the price or cooperation method they can provide into the envelope.

Those who came here were naturally prepared, and in less than a moment, everyone handed over their envelopes.

Then, there was a sumptuous lunch prepared by the MTR Corporation, and some people were not interested in it and got up to leave, while others stayed behind without care.

"Chen Sheng, please wait a moment." Chen Zhiwen, who didn't dare to stay, was just about to leave, but was stopped by a familiar voice.

"Li Sheng, what's the matter?" Chen Zhiwen turned around and also saw several people behind Li Jiacheng, namely Zheng Yutong, Lee Shau-kee and Guo Desheng. These four people are the heads of the four major families that monopolized Hong Kong in history.

"The four of us have one thing that we want to discuss with Chen Sheng." Li Jiacheng said with a smile: "We have prepared a private room upstairs. ”

"Okay, let's go." Chen Zhiwen nodded and agreed, in the future, the heads of the four major families will come to him, and eighty percent should be related to investment or business matters, and he is also very interested.

After the five of them came to a private room upstairs alone, everyone chatted with each other for a while, and the waiter also served the food, Zheng Yutong was more casual, and said with a smile: "Everyone, I am here today, you are welcome, this shark fin, foie gras, and caviar are all transported from Europe, and the taste is very good, and the chef here is also the most famous Michelin-starred chef in Europe." ”

"Pretty good." Guo Desheng said after tasting a few bites.

"It's delicious." After Chen Zhiwen tasted a bite of foie gras, he praised and said that this foie gras, which melts in the mouth, has a very good taste, especially after being chilled.

"There are still a lot of delicacies in the back, and it is rare for a few of us to get together, and Chen Sheng is even more rare." Zheng Yutong laughed and said, "Let's eat first, and we'll talk about something later." ”

"Okay." Li Jiacheng also smiled and said, everyone is not in a hurry for this meeting.

Small talk + tasting food, half an hour passed quickly.

"Chen Sheng, you should have heard of the Hong Kong government's actions in Sha Tin, right?" When everyone ate about the same, Li Jiacheng said.

"I've heard of it." Chen Zhiwen nodded.

In the past, its own Midea Industrial Park took advantage of the Hong Kong government's intention to develop Yuen Long to obtain discounts, but the Hong Kong government will not only develop a new town in Yuen Long, and Sha Tin Town is also one of the goals of the Hong Kong government.

"The Hong Kong government has recently released rumors that it intends to reclaim 6 million square feet of land in Sha Tin, and several of us are very interested in this, but this project is too big, so if Li Sheng is interested, he can also join in." Li Jiacheng said.

Lee Shau-kee on the side also said: "If Chen Sheng joins in, we will be more sure." ”

"When will this project start?" Chen Zhiwen thought for a while and asked.

When later generations look back at the history of the four major families in Hong Kong, there is only one large-scale real estate project that the four families have worked together, and that is Sha Tin City One in Sha Tin New Town.

This project is also the second largest community in Hong Kong's history after the four walled villages, but the initial investment is very high, because it is necessary to reclaim the sea, the Hong Kong government throws out this project, it is lazy to spend money on its own, and it does not cost much money to win this project, but the follow-up investment is high.

"The Hong Kong government is just letting go of the rumors now, it should be to test the market, and it is estimated that it will take half a year or a year for the project to land." Li Jiacheng said: "As long as Hong Kong's housing prices continue to rise, there will definitely be a lot of profit margin for this project." ”

"Why do you think Hong Kong's housing prices will keep rising? The real estate crisis of the previous years will not happen again? Chen Zhiwen asked rhetorically.

"Chen Sheng, the so-called real estate crisis is just an economic correction, in the long run, housing prices will definitely rise, and the increase will be greater than most industries." Li Jiacheng smiled and said: "This basically depends on two factors, the first is people, as long as there are more and more people, then the demand for houses will inevitably be higher and higher, those who do not have a house want to buy a house, those who have a house want to change to a better house, the second is the economy, now Hong Kong's trade is more and more, and the local industry is getting stronger and stronger, especially Chen Sheng's industry, but it sells well in Europe and the United States, so we conclude that Hong Kong's real estate market will definitely get stronger and stronger." ”

"Makes sense." Chen Zhiwen nodded and said with a smile, people are the foundation of real estate, not to mention, Hong Kong's economy has indeed recovered very quickly recently, and the overseas economy has recovered, Hong Kong, as a world-famous assembly factory, has naturally benefited from it, and this is also the case in the original history.

Now, Midea's Red Bull exports are hitting new highs every month, and Galaxy Trade has also relied on orders from Walmart, Costco and even some European supermarkets, with a monthly trade volume of more than 50 million Hong Kong dollars, driving a large number of direct and indirect jobs.

"Tomorrow, I will arrange someone to send the cost of reclamation and our estimation to your mansion, Chen Sheng can arrange professionals to confirm, if Chen Sheng is interested, you can join in, five of us, one of us has 20% of the shares." Li Jiacheng said.

"Okay, whether you agree or disagree, I will give you an accurate answer." Chen Zhiwen nodded and said, whether he agrees or not, he has to read the relevant information before a professional, although he is not too interested in this kind of thing, but his father's side, it is still okay.

As for the number of projects? It's not a matter at all, the current real estate five tigers, which are carrying out dozens of projects at the same time, cooperating with various British-funded companies, cooperating with Chinese-funded companies, or developing their own, are very busy, otherwise, it is impossible to catch up with the British-funded giants in a few years.

"Then I'm waiting for Chen Sheng's good news." Li Jiacheng nodded and said.

After a while, Chen Zhiwen said goodbye and left, Guo Desheng said: "Do you think Chen Zhiwen will agree?" ”

"I think so, Chen Zhiwen began to hoard properties in 1974, and there is no intention of selling them until now, so he must be optimistic about the future of the Hong Kong real estate market, as long as he is optimistic, then he will definitely be able to know how valuable the Sha Tin reclamation project is." Li Jiacheng said with a smile that he still spent some effort to investigate Chen Zhiwen's development history, and there are traces of large transactions, and it is not difficult to find out.

"Let's hope so, if the Sha Tin reclamation is really successful, the return will be very large, but the investment is too big." Lee Shau Kee nodded and said that it is the norm for Chinese real estate companies in Hong Kong to often form a consortium to develop large-scale projects, and it doesn't matter if the profits are more than a little bit out, as long as the project can be guaranteed to have income, it is the most stable.

After returning home, when Chen Tianfu saw his son, he immediately smiled and asked, "How is it?" ”

Although Hengyi wanted to win the MTR station property projects in Central and Admiralty, the MTR Corporation only allowed one person to enter the MTR company, so Chen Tianfu gave the opportunity to his son, who has participated in this kind of auction many times, and also intends to let his son know more about some of the top people in Hong Kong's business community.

"How can we hand in the cooperation plan we prepared before." Chen Zhiwen shrugged and said, he would like the MTR company to conduct a direct bidding model, so that now it is enough to fight for money, although the capital may not be as good as Land, but he is the most confident in the future, and he is not timid to call the price.

But in retrospect, it is very likely that the MTR Corporation will adopt this model by waiting for someone like Chan Chi-man or Li Ka-shing to appear, who can not only provide funds to the MTR Corporation for the development of subway projects, but also share in the benefits of a part of the rising real estate market in the future.

After all, this business cooperation model is played very slippery by Chinese-funded companies, and both sides can get benefits, and many British-funded companies take the initiative to take out their land to cooperate with Chinese-funded companies.

"Okay, then wait, if the MTR is interested in our plan, it will naturally contact us." Chen Tianfu nodded and said, so many companies have handed in the cooperation plan, and it is impossible for the MTR company to decide who to cooperate with just by relying on one page.

Subsequently, the MTR Corporation will find out a few plans that they think are good, and then communicate with the parties concerned to sign a more complete cooperation plan agreement, and then announce it after confirming that there is no problem.

"After the auction, Li Jiacheng, Guo Desheng, Lee Shau Kee and Zheng Yutong found me, they wanted me to invest in a project with them, this project has a long cycle, I am not interested, but if you are interested, Dad, you can try." Chen Zhiwen continued, and then said the specific details.

The first city of Sha Tin project, from the beginning of the planning to the complete end, the total span of more than ten years, until the early 90s, until the end of the 90s, except for the middle 82-84 years because of the real estate crisis some problems, the rest of the time, but all the profits, besides, even 84 years when the lowest land price, is higher than 79 years.

But because of the long span, Chen Zhiwen will not put funds and energy here, but Hengyi Real Estate can, his father intends to be a real estate giant in Hong Kong, and the more these projects are involved, the better, which can not only increase their own development experience, but also make profits, and can also build a good relationship with other real estate giants, and there will be more cooperation in the future.

Before the Chinese real estate monopolized Hong Kong in the 90s, British capital was the biggest opponent, and Chinese capital basically cooperated more and less confrontation, and cooperation itself was one of the important ways of development.

"I've heard about this project, so let's wait for their information to come, and I'll send someone to investigate it thoroughly, and if it can really make a lot of profits, I can also invest in it." Chen Tianfu thought for a while and said: "I'm more worried, if the MTR project is successful, will it affect our capital chain?" ”

"Don't worry, the MTR project will be developed very quickly, and it is estimated that it will be completed in a little more than a year, and Sha Tin's plan is still early." Chen Zhiwen said that in the original history, Li Jiacheng developed it for one year and two months, and his old man developed it, as long as the funds were sufficient, it should be about the same.

"Okay, then I'll be relieved." Chen Tianfu nodded and said.
