Lin Zhichao came to the China Building and planned to rent an office building and hang up the signboard of 'Cheung Kong Real Estate'.

"Lin Sheng, you are really young and promising!" The intermediary said flatteringly.

Lin Zhichao smiled faintly, he was only 19 years old, even if he was dressed maturely, he would look like he was twenty years old. Although there are many business owners who start their businesses at the age of 20, there are certainly few who start so high and dare to come to Central to lease office buildings.

"It's over, let's just look at the house!"

"Okay, you come with me..... In the past, in the 10s and 20s, we Chinese-funded businessmen could not squeeze into the Central office at all, and foreigners looked down on us Chinese businessmen. Later, after the construction of this building, we Chinese-funded businessmen gradually became wealthy, so they rented it one after another. This annoyed the foreign merchants who rented the place, and then they protested, but in the end they had to leave the building. In this way, we Chinese businessmen came to this building one after another, and gained a firm foothold in Central, so the owner also changed its name to 'Chinese Walk', which is very meaningful. ”

Lin Zhichao did not blame the intermediary for saying a lot, on the contrary, he listened to it with relish, although the status of Chinese businessmen at this time has improved to a certain extent, but to reach the height of British capital, it is still after the 70s.

And the China City Building also has a very important significance in later generations, that is, the 'Far East Club' stock exchange, which was quietly prepared in the China City Building, and finally suddenly announced its establishment.

Because under the circumstances at that time, Li Fuzhao and others were also worried that they would face the pressure of the 'Hong Kong Society' in the preparatory work, which would affect the establishment of the 'Far Eastern Society'.

If there is no 'Far Eastern Association' and if there is no 'Four Associations standing side by side', then it will be very difficult for Chinese enterprises to go public, and there will be no way to talk about raising funds, so how can Chinese capital surpass British capital in the 70s?

Therefore, the commercial history of Xiangjiang is the history of the struggle of Chinese capital, and the history in it is very meaningful.

"Is there a lot of rentable office space in the Chinese People's Bank Building now?"

"Not much, just two, only one that meets your conditions. And, to tell you the truth, many companies have recently moved into Hong Kong from the mainland or opened branches, and according to this situation, the supply of office buildings in Central will soon outstrip supply. So it's a great time for you to come and rent. ”

I didn't expect an intermediary to have such insight.

At this time, it may be said that these are only the first signs, and only well-informed people can find out.

Coming to the 6th floor of the China Walk Building, the two walked into an office building of about 800 square feet.

"Lin Sheng, look, the window here just overlooks Queen's Road, and the view is very good."

Lin Zhichao didn't hesitate much, and simply glanced at it.

"Well, indeed..... I liked it, so I didn't hesitate to rent it! ”

At this time, the rent of the office building on Queen's Road in Central was HK$0.7 per square foot per month, so the monthly rent of this room was 560 yuan, which required nearly 7,000 yuan a year.

In 1948~1949, the price may have to triple, which is the result of short supply

Although he knew this, Lin Zhichao had no intention of using this kind of information to sign for a few more years. The first is that the landlord will not be so stupid, the second is that Lin Zhichao's funds are also limited, and the third is that he can also earn this increase.

When the intermediary Hu Zhaoxu heard this, he hurriedly said: "Lin Sheng is really a cheerful person, he deserves a boss like you to make a fortune." ”

Lin Zhichao smiled and said, "Haha", seeing that Hu Zhaoxu was an elf ghost, Lin Zhichao felt that he could win him over, so he said: "Would you like to follow me?" Guaranteed not to earn less than you do as an intermediary! ”

How much money can an agent make as a rental agent!

Hu Zhaoxu was stunned for a moment, and immediately said, "Lin Sheng, what are you doing?" ”

Lin Zhichao saw that he didn't shake something, and others were afraid that they wouldn't be shaken at all, so he said: "I plan to buy land and old buildings, and then build new buildings and sell them." You all know that there are more and more bosses in Xiangjiang, so you should naturally know the prospects of real estate, if you have an idea, you can come here later to make an appointment with me and talk about the specific treatment in detail. ”

If you don't force it, it depends on whether Hu Zhaoxu knows people or not.

Hu Zhaoxu hurriedly said: "Okay, thank you Lin Sheng for your appreciation, I'll go back and think about it!" ”

In fact, there were ripples in his heart, and he had the idea of talking about it, he saw that Lin Zhichao had a good temperament, and he planned to do a real estate business, so he was afraid that he had strong capital.

.......

February 14, Valentine's Day, should be opened.

Changjiang Real Estate was established in a low-key manner on the same day, and there were three employees, including him-Lin Zhichao, Li Gaofu, and Hu Zhaoxu, of course, they will continue to recruit in the future.

However, in this era, it is relatively simple to do real estate.

Legal and formalities issues, find a cooperative law firm, one-stop service;

For architectural problems, find a cooperative teacher, and if you have a trustworthy teacher, you can add your own ideas, and the design and construction are outsourced;

The rest is the sales problem, just plan it yourself.

During this period, Hong Kong's real estate industry was not developed at all, mainly due to many restrictions:

First, the Hong Kong government stipulates that the maximum residential building cannot exceed five floors, and the general residential building is in the shape of a tenement building.

Second, during this period, real estate transactions in Hong Kong were sold on a "building" or "building" basis, which greatly raised the threshold for property sales, and those who could afford to buy a building were all wealthy businessmen.

Third, during this period, there is no 'off-plan sales' and 'strata sales', and the real estate company is slow to collect money, so it is not conducive to real estate development. Even if a building is built, it may not be possible to find a buyer in a moment.

In short, many restrictions have seriously affected the development of real estate.

On the other hand, there is a huge shortage of housing in Hong Kong, and although the Hong Kong government encourages capital to rebuild buildings damaged after the war, it still does not help.

Lin Zhichao dares to intervene in the Hong Kong real estate industry, which is naturally a magic weapon, not to mention that Hong Kong real estate will rise in the next three years, and this alone is enough to intervene in the real estate industry.

"Zhaoxu, the two of us are now looking for land or old buildings, and we can build almost two or three tenement buildings, which is the best goal!"

"Okay, boss, I'll be out there right away, search for targets, and report back to you."

Lin Zhichao nodded, Hu Zhaoxu is twenty-seven or eighteen years old this year, and he has been an intermediary for several years, so he is more familiar with the property situation in Hong Kong than him.

"Brother Gao Fu, you go and advertise now, we need accountants, cashiers, and construction professionals...... Also, the purchase of office items. ”

Li Gaofu took a notebook to record Lin Zhichao's request, nodded and said, "Okay, I'll go and prepare immediately." ”

Lin Zhichao finally said happily: "Although Changjiang Real Estate has just been established, as its name suggests, the Yangtze River does not choose a trickle, so it can travel thousands of miles. The source of the Yangtze River, only a trickle, flowing eastward, accommodating countless tributaries, forming an ocean, the future of the Yangtze River real estate, the development momentum will be like the Yangtze River, from small to large. The Yangtze River is the mother river of China and the pride of the Chinese nation. In the future, the Changjiang Group should also be proud of the Chinese people. The Yangtze River is vast, with a broad mind, a person who is interested in industry should sail thousands of miles, break the waves and move forward, to create a grand cause. ”

When the two subordinates saw that Lin Zhichao had such great ambitions, they immediately looked at him excitedly, feeling that they were following the right boss.

After arranging the work of two subordinates, Lin Zhichao also carried out other work in an orderly manner, and he was first ready to contact the law firm he cooperated with to solve the legal problems he had to do.

Otherwise, Lin Zhichao will not be able to make waves in the real estate industry.
