393 This is too much like a fairy sister
"Okay, but try to keep a low profile, and the news can't be leaked, otherwise if the people of Jardine Matheson know, for us, the follow-up acquisition will increase the cost." Chen Zhiwen nodded and said.
In the case that Yizhi Mutual Control has been completed, coupled with its own acquisition, there are not many stocks left in the outside world that can be traded freely, Chen Zhiwen was able to acquire so many Hongdi shares, most of which were secretly acquired for a long time a few years ago, and now, the difficulty is much higher, and if you want to continue the acquisition, you need to contact some long-term institutions.
"There shouldn't be much of a problem, I'm entrusting Standard Chartered as an intermediary, and the British capital doesn't know who is buying Hongkong shares, besides, now a lot of British capital also wants to withdraw from Hong Kong, and we also give dollars, and many people should still be willing." Zhou Jiayang said.
"Okay, money is not a problem, the most important thing is to increase the price appropriately and be able to acquire Hongkong Land." Chan said that compared to the value of Hongkong Land's dozen or so buildings in Central in the next 10 years, the current cost can really be said to be a drop in the bucket.
"Understood." Zhou Jiayang said.
Three days later, Zhou Jiayang made an appointment with a person in charge of the Hong Kong Lands Department, but did not choose to go to a luxury five-star hotel, but signed to go to the Lands Department, the senior management of the real estate company, and the senior management of the Lands Department, the meeting must be formal, otherwise, even if there is nothing, someone may be caught, the Independent Commission Against Corruption has been used as a weapon by Chen Zhiwen many times, but it is also capable of targeting anyone.
"What do you think of our proposal?" Zhou Jiayang asked after saying his thoughts.
"It's not going to work. If all of them do this, then the Hong Kong government's auction will become a vegetable market. Wu Youwei shook his head and said.
"It's not that I want to break the rules of the Hong Kong government's bidding, but as far as I know, the Hong Kong government in the previous auction, there are also some land, there are no requirements, just be able to auction out, I am not asking the Hong Kong government to launch a special policy for Hutchison, but the auction does not mention the start of construction requirements, or to mention a little more relaxed, the whole Hong Kong real estate developers open and fair competition, in today's real estate market is not good, this is normal, so that it does not damage the majesty of the Hong Kong government, but also can get more land revenue, killing two birds with one stone, Why not? Zhou Jiayang said with a smile.
Let the Hong Kong government come up with a special policy for Hutchison, saying that the land taken by Hutchison can be held for a long time, it is impossible, and the normal government will not do this, but if the Hong Kong government relaxes the requirements for all companies, it is a fair policy, and in the current economic situation, it is not impossible to introduce this kind of policy, and other companies are either in trouble or barely protect themselves, it is rare for a few to seize the opportunity, and there may not be so much money to compete with Hutchison.
"The Hong Kong government did have this kind of policy before, but it was also for a small number of land with a bad location, a large number of such operations, never before, Zhou Sheng also knows that bidding this kind of thing, has a long history in the world, most countries will have certain restrictions on how to use and time after bidding for land, this matter, I can't do it alone." Wu Youwei thought for a while and replied. Although he thinks that it will not work, this matter may involve a large amount of financial revenue of the Hong Kong government, and if it is possible, he cannot directly refuse, otherwise, if the leaders above do not oppose this matter, then he will be embarrassed.
"Of course, we are just making a suggestion, so that the real estate market in Hong Kong will not be so stressed." Zhou Jiayang said with a smile.
"Zhou Sheng, I will report this matter, it may need special approval from the Hong Kong Governor, and I will inform you when there is news." Wu Youwei said very politely on the surface, but he also complained in his heart, who doesn't know your purpose? Hutchison's various operations before the real estate crisis were obviously large-scale cash-out funds, developing and selling the land when the house price was at its highest, and even many of the land was developed in cooperation with other real estate companies or sold directly. However, the premise of this is to have confidence in the future real estate market, which is also in line with the current strategy of the Hong Kong government.
And to make such a request to the Hong Kong government, it is clear that it wants to take advantage of the current low land price to first hoard a large amount of high-quality land, but do not want to auction the land and then have to develop it immediately, which is a bit against the Hong Kong government's bidding strategy, but it is not absolutely impossible to change.
It's just that if the Hong Kong government really agrees, then with the real estate crisis of the past two years, Hutchison may be able to become the largest real estate company in Hong Kong.
"Thank you Wu Sheng, this is a batch of high-quality tea I bought from the mainland, it is not very expensive, but the taste is very good, please smile." Zhou Jiayang smiled and said.
"Okay, thank you." Wu Youwei is not polite, he will naturally have benefits, but it will definitely not be here, and what is the identity of Zhou Jiayang? It's absolutely impossible to do this kind of thing yourself.
"Then I'll take my leave." Zhou Jiayang waved his hand and said with a smile.
"Slow down, I'll send you out." Wu Youwei also stood up, one of the highest powers of Hehuang is still worthy of him to send it out personally.
The Hong Kong government will naturally not agree to such an important thing like this, and people with a discerning eye know that this operation will only take advantage of the well-capitalized Hutchison, or the funds are not so tight Cheung Kong and several other Chinese-funded companies, although the Hong Kong government clearly marked a fair environment, but this financial crisis, the most seriously injured are British capital, in this case, the Hong Kong government is not a last resort, it is estimated that it will not agree to such a request.
However, there is always a chance for everything, just wait, and it is only the beginning of the whole economic crisis, and the Hong Kong government's fiscal deficit is not very large, and after a while, they will know the importance of fiscal revenue.
The time soon came to March 1983, during this time, Hong Kong's Hang Seng Index stabilized in the early 600s, and there was no growth trend for a long time, and the real estate market, prices still continued to fall after last year's halving, but this was actually the highest price in September 1981, even if the real estate crisis is now, housing prices are still at the level of 1979, and many people still can't afford to buy a house.
As a result, throughout Hong Kong, people who can't afford to buy a house hope that housing prices will continue to fall, while those who have already bought a house hope that housing prices can rise quickly.
This is the common nature of human beings, even if a bunch of people in the mainland complain that the housing prices are too high in later generations, once they buy two sets, they will immediately feel that the housing prices are too low.
During this period, various newspapers in Hong Kong also mainly discussed housing prices, and every time the Hong Kong government failed to sell, it would become news headlines.
As one of the largest landowners in Hong Kong, Chen Zhiwen doesn't pay much attention to this, anyway, he knows that in the future, he will have the opportunity to acquire more property land.
Master Pei Jinming was also invited by Lei Shengli to come to Hong Kong, and Chen Zhiwen also personally accompanied him and walked around the Hilton Hotel Building.
Pei Jinming said: "It's a pity, this hotel will be no problem for another 20 years." ”
"If it was somewhere else, like Admiralty or Tsim Sha Tsui, I would definitely not demolish it, but in a place like Central, it would be a waste to build a hotel on such a large site." Chen Zhiwen said with a smile.
"Yes, I was also invited by the Bank of China Group to build a building for them in Hong Kong, only to know that the construction cost of a building is far less than the land price." Pei Jinming said with a smile.
"Therefore, the requirements of Midea Building are very simple, the floor is as high as possible, and the construction area is large enough, and our Midea Group is now in the global scale, and Mr. Pei should also know that the headquarters has a high demand for area." Chen Zhiwen smiled and said.
"That's no problem, as long as you have a good budget, a super building is not a problem, if it's not enough, I'll design you a building like the Twin Towers in New York." Pei Jinming said with a smile that being able to design a super building in Asia is also one of the honors of his life.
"Then we don't have enough area now, and when I have a larger area of land in Hong Kong in the future, I will invite Mr. Pei to design it." Chen Zhiwen shook his head and said, the area of the Hilton Hotel is indeed stronger than ordinary buildings, such as the Bank of China Building, but it is still not comparable to the New York Twin Towers, after all, it is a super landmark in New York City, and the land is specially prepared by the New York City Government, Chen Zhiwen naturally can't compare, but if it is reclaimed in the future, Hong Kong may also have a large area, such as the IFC Building in later generations, which is reclaimed from the sea, and the rental income of a building is 10 billion Hong Kong dollars, which is not less than that of Harbour City, and the total value is as high as 200 billion Hong Kong dollars. Such a super building is enough to compare with the average Fortune 500 in the world.
"Well, I'm looking forward to that day coming soon." Pei Jinming said with a smile.
After arranging the affairs of Hong Kong, Chen Zhiwen crossed the Luohu port and came to Shenhai City opposite Hong Kong, because of the Shenhai University of Science and Technology, it was officially established.
As early as a few years ago, Chen Zhiwen put forward a request with China to build a university focusing on electronic science and technology in Shenhai City, the purpose is to use a large number of outstanding high school students in the entire mainland to be sent here to receive the most advanced electronic technology in the West, and after a few years, it can become a continuous source of talents for Midea Group.
Awesome students, can be trained in the direction of electronic hardware and software design, medium or poor, can be trained in the direction of production management and quality control, if nothing else, the future of Shenhai City, will also become one of the important electronic industry production bases of the United States, and such a base, but also need a large number of relevant talents, the future of Samsung, in Xi'an heavy investment, an important reason is the existence of Xidian University.
Deep-sea University of Science and Technology, as early as the second half of 81 began construction, under normal circumstances, the construction of a university is a few years, but in the case of sufficient funds, day and night to catch up, the natural speed can be easily doubled, besides, the current domestic universities or other buildings, or based on practicality, so that the speed of construction is much faster.
And all kinds of related equipment, also ordered from related companies around the world a long time ago, and at the beginning of 83, they entered the deep-sea university that was about to be completed.
The leaders who came to greet Chen Zhiwen were naturally the leaders of Shenhai City and the school leaders of Shenhai University, but as Chen Zhiwen, who only paid for it, he didn't understand the university, so he could only deal with it politely.
In the evening of the same day, a party was held inside Shenhai University, and some famous singers and dancers in China were invited to participate on the stage, Chen Zhiwen thought it was not bad, the stars of this era are very capable, whether it is Hong Kong or the mainland, and the artists in the mainland are not actors, many of them are from scholarly families.
Suddenly, the C member in a dance attracted his attention, because this girl looked too much like the fairy sister of the later generations.
