561 Mandarin Commercial Plaza
"Joint venture?" Li Jiacheng was stunned for a moment and did not answer immediately.
"Li Sheng, rest assured, I'm just participating, I won't ask for a lot of shares, the energy industry, at present, I'm not ready to enter." Chen Zhiwen said with a light smile.
Hutchison has already begun to get involved in metal mining, but it is only a joint venture with Rio Tinto, the main body is still Rio Tinto is developing, and Hutchison can learn + benefit from it, in addition, it is currently acquiring shares of Rio Tinto through the capital model to ensure its own interests.
Even if you want to participate in an iron ore, it is so difficult that it is inconvenient to do it independently, let alone in the oil and energy industry, even if ordinary people have the money to enter, it is difficult to succeed.
After the 21st century, for energy security reasons, mainland capital has also invested abroad, but the final result is not very good, this kind of industry, the West or any country will be very strictly controlled. Although individual investment will be different from national investment, the logic is the same.
Therefore, Chen Zhiwen does not plan to directly intervene in the oil industry, this industry, if it is small, it is meaningless, and if it is big, there will be a lot of disputes, not to mention Hong Kong capital, that is, many American oil giants, are often pitted in other countries, it is really oil, it is the blood of modern social economy, it is too important.
As for profits, it is better to invest if you have this kung fu to operate yourself, for example, it is very good to invest in Li Jiacheng.
Being able to buy an oil company in the Western world and grow bigger, although it is also a small and large Canada, this is definitely not something that ordinary people can do.
Regardless of whether Li Jiacheng has given up any benefits, or his family has immigrated, etc., but there are too many people who can do this, and there are not too many Hong Kong billionaires who have immigrated to Europe, America, Canada and Australia, but very few have succeeded.
At the same time, even if Li Jiacheng succeeds, he must have relied on his own ability to solve a lot of problems in ZZ many times, so that his people can follow him and learn more, maybe Hutchison's mining company will also encounter such problems in the future.
"Well, that's negotiable." Li Jiacheng did not refuse, everyone wants to eat alone, but this piece of meat is not easy to eat, and it will obviously be much better to bring Chen Zhiwen, who has a great influence in Europe and the United States, and in this way, at least there is no need to worry too much about financial problems.
"Well, I hope we can have a good time working together in the future." Chen Zhiwen said with a light smile.
For the current industry, Chen Zhiwen also feels that it is almost the same, it is unlikely to enter other new fields, it is too toss-up, no one can grow together in too many industries, and Li Jiacheng in the future is good at five main businesses, and the others are either not large in scale or benefit from investment.
This is also Chen Zhiwen's plan, a variety of opportunities in other industries, in the investment model, either to invest in the future of large companies, or to invest in the future people.
After returning home, Zhuang Yueming came over and asked Li Jiacheng, "What's wrong?" Didn't shoot the land, not too happy? β
"Wrong, I'm happy." Li Jiacheng smiled, and then told Zhuang Yueming about the cooperation with Chen Zhiwen.
This time did not take the initiative to participate in the auction, in fact, it had little impact on him, he could not shoot the king of the land, Chen Zhiwen personally came to the auction, it must be the future Admiralty land king, there is no point in competing with him, as for the others, although the location is also good, but under the Cheung Kong industry, the most important thing is the land, today's Hong Kong, in addition to Chen Zhiwen, he Li Ka-shing is the second king of the land, through various means, the land property in his hand has exceeded 10 million square feet, but the average location is far less than Hongkong or Hutchison.
"This is also normal, with Chen Zhiwen's worth, there is a high probability that he can't look down on those plots that are only worth tens of millions or barely break 100 million, but there are a lot of these plots, and it's a pity to give up, so by investing in several top real estate companies in Hong Kong, you can indirectly obtain the profits of these real estate markets, not to mention that the shareholding does not exceed 16%, so that Hisense Bank can participate in the loan, this trick, it is really powerful, and the benefits are maximized." Zhuang Yueming nodded and analyzed.
"I also understand this truth, even if he is willing to agree, he also helps me expand overseas, which makes me a little surprised." Li Jiacheng said that if you are optimistic about Hong Kong's real estate market, then it is normal to invest in yourself, HSBC also operates like this, Shen Bi actually said in private, if it were not for HSBC is Hong Kong's quasi-central bank, it is not allowed to actively invest in non-financial industries, otherwise they would have invested in various real estate companies, and among them, Cheung Kong Industrial is also Shen Bi is more optimistic.
"Maybe it's because of your abilities." Zhuang Yueming thought for a moment and said: "I guess he may make similar requests to several other large companies in Hong Kong, and it is said that Hang Lung has already cooperated with Chen Zhiwen last year." β
"I know about Hang Lung." Li Jiacheng said: "In this way, Chen Zhiwen not only wants to obtain profits from the Hong Kong real estate market and financial market through the means of capital, but also wants to use a group of people who have worked hard all their lives to achieve today's results to work indirectly for him." β
"It should be so, but it's also good for you, at least the funds are not a problem, and it can also reduce the risk, with Chen Zhiwen's shrewdness, if you invest in any risky projects, or accidentally violate any interest chain that you don't know, he should remind you." Zhuang Yueming said with a smile.
"Yes, this kind of thing, it's not our turn to refuse, in general, whether it is Chen Zhiwen or Shen Bi, the conditions put forward are not bad, and if it can be a win-win situation, I have no reason to refuse." Li Jiacheng said.
"People like them are extremely shrewd people, and they generally don't look so ugly, and if they really do it so badly, they won't be so successful." Zhuang Yueming said.
"Well, too." Li Jiacheng nodded and said: "Since Chen Zhiwen joined, coupled with the maneuvering of the Canadian Imperial Bank, there should be no big problem on my side in the acquisition of Husky Energy, and the more urgent thing now is that our family needs to have a person who immigrates to Canada, according to Canadian law, if you want to buy an energy company, you must be a Canadian." β
"I'll find an opportunity to discuss with Zekai or Zeju to see which of them is willing." Zhuang Yueming said.
"Okay, then I'll leave this matter to you." Li Jiacheng said.
The news that the Admiralty Diwang auction received a 50% premium, like a hurricane, spread throughout Hong Kong, all those who care about this auction, or care about Hong Kong housing prices, have also received the news, for people engaged in real estate business, naturally know what it means, so everyone is ready to capitalize, ready to do a big job.
Real estate is so magical, once everyone has confidence, a large amount of money into the market, housing prices and land prices will rise on a large scale, the same is true of the stock market, the more confident people, all people can make a profit, this is the opposite of industry, the more people engaged in industry, the more likely everyone will not make money, or lose money, because the market is limited, and in the end it will only be rolled to the extreme, which is why the real to virtual financialization has become the ultimate destination of many companies and even many countries.
In the following half a month, Chen Zhiwen made an appointment with several other real estate tycoons in Hong Kong, and also expressed his attitude, as long as you want to take out a loan, then Hisense Bank will be bold enough to lend to you, I'm afraid you are not bold enough.
This must be a very big temptation for real estate companies that want to develop, and naturally they all agreed, but whether it is Li Jiacheng or a few of them, they are also verbal promises, unlike Hang Lung, when Hang Lung was facing a bankruptcy crisis, in order to get Chen Zhiwen's help, but signed some cooperation agreements on the future, of course, this is not a little bad for Hang Lung, if it is not for Chen Zengxi's ability to be strong enough, where did this golden development opportunity come from.
When the future of several major Hong Kong Chinese families to negotiate good cooperation, Chen Zhiwen's goal of Hong Kong real estate is basically half completed, the other half is naturally represented by Land, in the field of real estate rent continues to develop, Hong Kong as the future of the highest commercial rent city, this income will be very considerable, and stable, but with the scale of Land, the general small property can not be seen, and can be seen, generally two or three years will not necessarily appear a building, but there are some can be self-built, now whether it is Land, Hutchison is still Wharf, and it also has a lot of vacant land in high-quality locations or old properties that can be demolished, but there is no need to rush to build it now.
The time soon came to March, and one day, Chen Zhiwen came to Hongkong Land.
"Chen Sheng, Admiralty's Mandarin Commercial Plaza plan, we have negotiated with the Hong Kong government, the upstairs 9 floors and the downstairs 3 floors are shopping malls and parking lots, with a construction area of about 500,000 square feet, and there are two buildings upstairs, both of which are mainly office buildings, a total of 600,000 square feet, but there will be 15 floors converted into high-end apartments." Dong Youwei reported: "The Hong Kong government has restrictions on the floor area ratio, and it can't be built higher and bigger. β
"1.1 million feet? It's not bad either. Chen Zhiwen thought about it and said, this piece of land is a total of 115,000 square feet, almost 10 plot ratio, the future mainland, the general office floor area ratio will not exceed 8, but this is Hong Kong, naturally different.
"The entire construction cost is almost 1.3 billion Hong Kong dollars, Chen Sheng, if he holds himself, Hongkong Land will need to borrow from the bank again." Dong Youwei said.
"It's okay, just rest assured that you can take out a loan." Chen Zhiwen nodded and said,If it weren't for Hisense not being able to lend to himself,He would have done this a long time ago,Now,The real estate market has just had a little hope,Housing prices haven't started to rise a lot,After another half a year,The wind of speculation rises,The debt problem of land,It's completely solved,Even if you add today's this,It's nothingγ
"Okay." Dong Youwei nodded and said, "Then my side, are you looking for Standard Chartered?" β
"Standard Chartered? Don't use it first, you don't need to find Standard Chartered in the future, find HSBC or other banks, and whoever is cost-effective will find someone to cooperate. Chen Zhiwen said suddenly.
"Okay." Dong Youwei was shocked, originally asking about Standard Chartered was just a routine inquiry, this kind of thing, it is best for the boss to speak, even if you are not sure, it doesn't matter, it is normal to talk to a few major banks first and then see who is cost-effective, but you can directly kick Standard Chartered out, then it will be different.
"I have my reasons, you don't have to ask." Chen Zhiwen did not explain, although Dong Youwei is also a senior of Hongkong Land, he does not know about his preparation for the acquisition of Standard Chartered.
Although the acquisition of Standard Chartered, is to take advantage of the opportunity of Standard Chartered to be acquired by a British local bank, but no matter what, the weaker the Standard Chartered, the higher their success rate, in the past few years, Standard Chartered and its own companies have cooperated well, has made a lot of profits for the Hong Kong Standard Chartered branch, and now they are ready to do another big job in Hong Kong, the Mandarin Plaza in front of them is just an appetizer, and there will be a lot of super-large properties to build, or acquire, and even Disney's investment in Hong Kong will be settled in these two years.
These projects are high-quality projects in the eyes of any bank, and if they are given to Standard Chartered, even if they are partial, it may be equivalent to giving them a large amount of cash and available financial quota, which is not good for themselves.
"Okay." Dong Youwei nodded and said.
"On the Hongkong Land side, if there are any previous projects, they should be started, even if they don't need to start immediately, they can be prepared first." Chen Zhiwen said: "In addition, we should give priority to the development of residential properties first, and after the development is completed, we will not touch the residential properties, and just do a good job of commercial real estate with peace of mind." β
"Okay, Mr. Chen, I understand." Dong Youwei agreed. (End of chapter)
