565 News Exposure and Reactions from All Parties

Hong Kong, Sham Shui Po, Lee Family Villa

"Disney is going to build a park in Hong Kong?" After seeing the newspaper brought by Zhuang Yueming, Li Jiacheng was taken aback.

In the early days of Li Jiacheng's business, Zhuang Yueming can be said to be his right-hand man, and then he has two sons, so he no longer works and cultivates children with peace of mind, but he will still spend some time to help Li Jiacheng, such as the most basic sorting information, the Li family ordered all the newspapers in Hong Kong, and when the newspapers were not listed every day, they could be sent to the Li family's villa.

Zhuang Yueming usually gets up a little earlier, and then arranges for the chef to prepare breakfast, and by the way, she will also read the newspaper, but she will not really take the time to sort it out like a general secretary, but if she encounters a big thing, she will still pay attention to it, because, as a top student at Oxford University in the United Kingdom and a veteran of Cheung Kong Industrial's early start-up, she also has a lot of views on many things, even in recent years, Li Jiacheng will often listen to her opinions.

"yes, I can't believe it's true." Zhuang Yueming nodded and said: "This is the news in the Oriental Daily, and the authenticity is indeed questionable." ”

"Oriental Daily? Although this newspaper often publishes untrue news to attract people's attention, it is mainly entertainment news, so they shouldn't dare to report such a big thing, right? Li Jiacheng paused and said, the Ma family behind Oriental Daily does have some energy, but it is far from the top of Hong Kong's supertycoons, it is not a level at all, even he Li Jiacheng does not take them seriously at all, at most because there is no conflict of interest, ignore it, and the Ma family will not be stupid to offend the super-rich family, at most bullying and bullying celebrities.

Not to mention Chen Zhiwen's company, if you really dare to report randomly, you don't need anyone to come out, someone will definitely kill you through legal means.

Such a big news, not only involves the Disney company, or which company cooperates with Disney, but the entire Hong Kong real estate industry, if this world-famous entertainment company, comes to Hong Kong to invest in the park, it will be a global news, the role of the Hong Kong real estate market is so great, even he, an elite who has been engaged in real estate for more than 20 years, can not make a judgment.

"If it's true, it's a very big opportunity, and we've all been to Disneyland in Japan, and the flow of people there is indescribable, far more than anywhere else in Hong Kong, and it has a strong attraction to tourists from all over the world, especially the Southeast Asian community, Hong Kong is much closer than Japan." Zhuang Yueming said.

The essence of the real estate market is actually the population, whether the real estate market of a country or a region can be developed depends on two points, one is the young population, the other is the overall economy, and within the range, where the flow of people flows, where the value is higher, why Central can become Hong Kong's real estate mecca, is because this is a place where all the rich gather, even if the former core port factor does not exist, but the business group has gathered, people can not change their habits.

Disney, on the other hand, can be said to be another mode of gathering, mainly tourists, but when the attraction is strong enough, it still attracts rich people, and the commercial potential is not lower than that of super supermarkets.

"This kind of thing, even if it's true, it must be Chen Zhiwen's company that profits, which round gets outsiders." Li Jiacheng laughed and said: "What I care about is that if this thing is true, it will definitely be a strong shot in the arm for the Hong Kong real estate market, and all Hong Kong real estate companies and owners will benefit from it." ”

"Judging from the report, the Disney CEO has been to Hongkong Land many times during this time, so it seems that Hongkong Land is responsible for this matter, but I analyzed Chen Zhiwen's previous actions, and it is clear that he is going to gradually withdraw from the Hong Kong residential market, or rather, it is not a prime location, and he may not be directly involved." Zhuang Yueming said.

"Also, with his value, it's normal to look down on ordinary properties." Li Jiacheng nodded and said, even if for him, if there are millions of cash, he may want it, but if it is only a project of several millions, it still needs to occupy his energy and time to operate, then he is just as lazy to toss, people are always progressing, without a project of tens of millions, he Li Jiacheng can't look down on it, and Chen Zhiwen is much more valuable.

"So, if you can know where Disneyland is located and stock up on some nearby land in advance, or directly the old property, wouldn't it be a very good opportunity, maybe double the profit in a few months." Zhuang Yueming said with a smile, although the real estate industry, often hundreds of millions of Hong Kong dollars, but that is actually the data after leverage, compared to the total amount of the project, the real estate company does not earn a lot, and if you know a land, after a period of time can rise sharply, then the profit is most, whether it is sold after the price increase or developed by yourself.

"It's easy to say, this kind of thing, how can it be possible to let outsiders know in advance, although Chen Zhiwen is a shareholder of Cheung Kong Industrial, he also has shares in several other real estate companies, it is impossible to tell me." Li Jiacheng shook his head and said: "And the Hong Kong government is not stupid, if it wants to introduce this kind of project, there must be very big concessions, and this compensation has to be recovered from the surrounding land." ”

This is a normal operation in the real estate industry, if a place is not popular, then the government needs to introduce some good projects, such as the most basic supermarkets, large shopping malls, etc., at this time, the land price will be discounted, and such a project landing, even as long as it is settled, then the value of the land near the land will increase, this is the benefit that the government can get. From the perspective of real estate operation, it is a win-win situation, with real estate companies, the government and residents all winning.

"So it is impossible to expect Chen Zhiwen to take the initiative to tell us, and it may even be that he himself does not know, we need to judge in advance where Disneyland will land through our own means and capabilities, and then according to their movements, although Hong Kong is not small, but there are not many suitable for building Disneyland." Zhuang Yueming said.

"Yes, with Chen Zhiwen's character, it is unlikely that he will go to a very remote place, which is not in line with the needs of Disneyland, so there is a certain amount of room for operation here." Li Jiacheng nodded and said.

"There's just another problem." Zhuang Yueming frowned and said: "According to the Joint Convention, the British government in Hong Kong can only sell 500 hectares of land every year, which is probably not enough for half of Disneyland." ”

"In other words, if this project wants to succeed, it has to be agreed by Yanjing." Li Jiacheng said that the "Joint Convention" is not impossible to change, as long as both China and Britain agree, there is no problem.

"There will be a lot of institutions involved, so we still have time to prepare, and again, we can invest appropriately in the places where Disneyland may be built, and with the current situation of Hong Kong real estate, we will not lose money." Zhuang Yueming said with a smile.

"Madame Takami." Li Jiacheng gave a thumbs up, and then said: "We may not be the only ones who have discovered this opportunity, others may also be preparing, we have to be faster." ”

"Then it depends on who is capable." Zhuang Yueming said.

Many wealthy families in Hong Kong, even British capital, have also gotten the news, and everyone basically knows that this is a major event that will affect the trend of the entire Hong Kong real estate market, but whether they should participate in it and get a piece of the pie depends on the courage and ability of different people.

And the core of the power of the British government in Hong Kong, in the Hong Kong Governor's Palace, Hong Kong Governor Youde looked at the contents of the Oriental Daily that had just been sent by his subordinates, pondered for a while, and said to the secretary: "Let Du Di from the Lands Department come over." ”

"Yes, Mr. Governor." The secretary walked out immediately after listening to the instructions.

After a while, the Lands Director Doody walked in and said, "Hello, Mr. Governor. ”

"Sit down, don't be so polite." Youde politely gestured: "Have you read this newspaper today?" ”

"This is the Oriental Daily?" Du Di glanced at it and said: "Generally, I read English newspapers in Hong Kong first, and then read Chinese, and this Oriental Daily, which focuses on entertainment, basically does not read it." ”

Although he is British, he is a high-level official in the Hong Kong Governor's Office in Hong Kong, and there is absolutely no problem in listening, speaking, reading and writing Cantonese, even ordinary British-funded businessmen, if they can't even learn a foreign language, they are not qualified to succeed in other people's places.

"You take a look first." Youde didn't care, the British officials in the Hong Kong Governor's Office did read the British newspapers first.

"Okay." After Du Di took the newspaper, he saw the headline at a glance, and was shocked, and then after reading the whole content, he said: "This matter is still uncertain, we need to confirm it with Chen Zhiwen?" ”

"Confirmation is simple, just a phone call." Youde said: "If the news is false, then it is easy to say, but if it is true, this matter involves a lot, although the "Joint Convention" has been signed, but you also know that those people in Buckingham Palace are still unwilling to give up the interests of Hong Kong, Disneyland, the interests here are very large." ”

"Chen Zhiwen is a person who can come to this scale today, and before doing things, it is estimated that he has thought very clearly, and he should be prepared." Du Di thought for a moment and said, "And once this matter is confirmed, we just need to do our best to cooperate." ”

"Yes, okay, I'll call Chen Zhiwen later, if it's confirmed, we need to have an internal meeting to discuss it first." Youde said.

"Okay, then I'll wait for news, and if I need a meeting, I'll arrange it." After Du Di finished speaking, he said goodbye and left, and the governor called, so he naturally wouldn't stay by the side stupidly.

Hong Kong, Xinhua News Agency Headquarters:

"Disneyland, this Chen Zhiwen is actually so big." President Shen just came to the office, he knew about it, and he suddenly came to the energy, although he had never been to Japan Disneyland, but he also knew that two years ago Japan Disneyland opened, the whole country level attached great importance to it, he never dreamed that Hong Kong, a city, would actually build Disneyland.

"At present, it is not sure whether the news is true or not, but it was only broken by Oriental Daily." President Hayashi Fu said.

"Also, I'm not sure, and I can't report it." President Shen nodded and said, once such a thing is reported, it must be guaranteed to be true, otherwise there will be another fake news from the above, and it will be a lot of fun.

At this moment, there was a knock on the door, and an assistant walked in and said, "President Shen and President Lin, just sent a fax from Hongkong Land, and they invited you two to the Mandarin Oriental Hotel for tea at three o'clock this afternoon. ”

"Oh, haha, got it, okay, reply that we'll be there on time." President Shen and Vice President Lin glanced at each other, and naturally understood that if they were looking for them at this time, it should be eight or nine.
