Lin Zhichao came to 'Gao Luyun Law Firm', a 60-year-old law firm founded by two foreigners.

At present, almost all of the well-known law firms in Hong Kong were founded by foreigners. It is also a win-win situation for Chinese lawyers to take commissions from lawyers, and lawyers use the resources and reputation of law firms. Therefore, the Chinese teacher seems to be a part-time worker, but in fact he is very free and active.

The front desk stopped Lin Zhichao and asked, "Sir, do you have anything to do?" ”

Lin Zhichao looked at the surroundings casually, and then said calmly: "I want to talk to lawyer Zhou Jianxun about cooperation, please make an appointment with him for me." ”

Seeing that there was no appointment, the front desk continued to ask, "What do you do?" What kind of legal advice is needed? ”

The status of a lawyer in Hong Kong is quite high, not to mention that Zhou Jianxun is a well-known Chinese teacher, and ordinary people are not qualified to talk to him about cooperation.

Lin Zhichao said: "I am the owner of a real estate company, and I want to hire lawyer Zhou Jianxun as our company's legal counsel, this is my business card!" ”

He pulled out a freshly printed business card and handed it to the front desk.

As soon as the front desk heard the boss of the real estate company, looked at the business card again, and saw that the address was the Huarenhang Building, he immediately said: "Then I will convey it for you, please sit down for a while." ”

Lin Zhichao nodded, he was rash to come to cooperate, naturally there was some trouble. However, he believes that he will soon be able to get the friendship and cooperation of lawyer Zhou Jianxun.

After a while, the front desk came to Lin Zhichao and said, "Lin Sheng, please come here!" ”

Lin Zhichao got up and followed the front desk into Gao Luyun Law Firm, it is normal for the threshold to be high, and the law firm in this era was originally for the powerful.

When they came to Zhou Jianxun's office, the two naturally introduced themselves.

Zhou Jianxun is a lawyer around 40 years old, who holds a London lawyer's license and is very famous in the Chinese circle. Lin Zhichao came to him, purely because he had heard of his fame, so he took the initiative to ask for cooperation, after all, he had no better choice.

"Lin Sheng is already the owner of a real estate company at a young age, which is really amazing!" Zhou Jianxun said politely.

He didn't doubt Lin Zhichao's identity, after all, there was no benefit in cheating a lawyer.

"The company has just opened, and I haven't figured out many places, so I would like to ask Mr. Zhou to give some legal advice." Lin Zhichao's young face reveals confidence.

When Zhou Jianxun heard that it had just been established, his face did not change, but said: "No problem, it just so happens that I am free now, you can briefly talk about the situation." ”

Lin Zhichao nodded and began to get straight to the topic: "The current property sales are sold according to the whole building, so can it be sold in layers?" In terms of land deeds, if each owner of a 4-storey building has 1/4 of the land right, and if the owner of a 5-storey building has 1/5 of the land right, a separate deed can be made to explain the rights and interests of each owner. Do you think this is possible? ”

Zhou Jianxun was directly stunned, thinking that it was a very simple and ordinary question, but he didn't expect that it was a question that he couldn't answer.

After thinking about it for a while, he honestly said, "I have never done this kind of title deed!" ”

Lin Zhichao did not give up, but continued: "Where does this kind of title deed need to be done? Which department should I apply to? If the 'strata sale' can work, then the property sale in Hong Kong will not be like a stagnant water, and the active property transaction means that more capital will enter the real estate industry, then solving the problem of housing shortage in Hong Kong is definitely a big contribution. ”

Zhou Jianxun's expression changed at this time, and he said seriously: "Lin Sheng's idea is very good!" I went to the Shinda Land Office and asked if I could register. If there is a result, I will tell you as soon as possible, so as not to affect the operation of your company. ”

Lin Zhichao said with a smile: "So, is Mr. Zhou willing to be our company's legal counsel?" Rest assured, I should be able to afford the consultation. ”

Zhou Jianxun also smiled and said: "Being able to come up with such a method is also a kind of learning for me. And I'm a lawyer, so I'm naturally willing to have more business and clients. ”

Lin Zhichao nodded, and then talked about the situation of Changjiang Real Estate.

After hearing this, Zhou Jianxun pondered for a while and said: "Although Lin Sheng, the method you proposed may work, but after all, there are certain risks, so I suggest that your company buy land after the field hall has news." ”

Lin Zhichao replied: "This week, lawyer Zhou, please rest assured, I still have a little strength." Tiered selling, just means my returns could be faster. ”

"So I'm relieved"

"Thank you, Master Zhou"

Leaving Gao Luyun Law Firm in a good mood, in this era, as long as you have real skills, you will definitely be respected by others. Lin Zhichao threw out a constructive question, and Zhou Jianxun looked up to Lin Zhichao by three points, plus Lin Zhichao has a good temperament, and he is very attractive to get along with.

........

Ten days later.

Lam Chi-chiu and Wu Siu-chu went to Nos. 46 to 48 Shan Lam Road in Tsim Sha Tsui, Kowloon, to inspect the old building.

"Boss, the owner of the property at No. 46~48 Shanlin Road is a Jinshan Abel named Zhang Guanfeng. He did not have the funds to start the reconstruction, so he planned to sell the three dilapidated properties. ”

Just this month (1947.2), the Hong Kong government enacted and promulgated a new tenancy control legislation to curb the trend of evictions and encourage landlords to repair buildings damaged by war. The new law regulates rents in post-war buildings and stipulates that they must not exceed the pre-war rent level, but there are two cases that are excluded from the control: first, newly built buildings after the war, and second, houses rebuilt by the owner with 100 times the monthly rent of the pre-war area, both of which can be rented at the market value at that time.

The promulgation and implementation of the new law greatly facilitated the repair and reconstruction of old buildings and the construction of new buildings after the war. Wealthier landlords are spending money on repairing their buildings in order to get high rents; Owners who had been impoverished during the war sold their buildings for demolition and rebuilding by real estate developers.

Obviously, Zhang Guanfeng, the Jinshan uncle, has no funds to disassemble and rebuild.

Lin Zhichao watched very carefully at the scene, although he is not a professional real estate person, but he still has knowledge.

Recently, he has also been studying real estate.

Shan Lin Road is located at the northern end of Tsim Sha Tsui, south of Austin Road, and connects to Nathan Road at the western end, near the Tsim Sha Tsui Police Station.

The location has nothing to say, it is in the golden area of Tsim Sha Tsui, according to his estimates, it is no problem to sell it for 25~30 Hong Kong dollars per square foot.

Of course, since the whole property is now sold, it has actually created a situation where the price of land and old buildings is high, and the rent is high, but the unit price of the building is not high.

In fact, there is not much profit in doing real estate, so at this time Hong Kong real estate is still in its infancy.

"What is the land area on the title deed?"

"4,800 square feet (about 530 square meters)"

Lin Zhichao immediately calculated, assuming that he built this land into three five-storey tenement buildings, a total of 15-storey residences; Based on the current property area, he speculated that the floor area of the first floor can reach about 1,200 square feet, and the selling price is about 35,000 yuan (large area and good timing), which is a full sales of more than 500,000 yuan.

Of course, the premise is to 'sell in layers' in order to sell at this unit price.

In this era, there are no pocket buildings and small areas, almost all of which are one-story units above 1,000 square feet.

The Hong Kong government allows landlords to sublet out, so a large area is not a problem.

This kind of real estate development environment has seriously led to the fact that wealthy people can afford to buy properties, which is much more serious than that of later generations.

The rate of return of real estate developers is not high, and the return is slow (slow to sell), so real estate is naturally not a major industry.

Broadly speaking, so many people in Hong Kong do not have housing because of these policies.

Therefore, once Lin Zhichao improves the environment of Hong Kong real estate, he will gain a huge reputation, and it is only natural that he will become the president of the 'Hong Kong Real Estate Builders Association'.

"Okay, let's talk about the price with Mr. Zhang, I like this property more."

"Okay, I'll make an appointment with him right away."

The size of the land is just right, and this project is just the right place to be a 'model'.
