On February 12, the third day of the Lunar New Year, it is advisable to break ground.

Yau Ma Tei, Kowloon, on the site of the 'old gas factory' on Ferry Street, ushered in the groundbreaking ceremony.

The site covers an area of 33,000 square feet, with a total of 20 five-storey tenement buildings (originally planned to have 22 floors, each floor is smaller), with a floor area of 1,000~1,080 square feet per floor. The whole project is named 'Telford Gardens' and is a private estate, although it is only 100 storeys.

Lin Zhichao knew that the only customers who bought buildings during this period were Yin Shang's huge wealth; After all, a floor costs more than 30,000 Hong Kong dollars, which is not something that ordinary people can afford.

Therefore, Changjiang Real Estate should fully consider the needs of its customers - security, privacy, coupled with public gardens, pavilions, leisure facilities, etc., which can be said to fully grasp the psychology of customers.

"Lin Sheng, congratulations, it's another private housing estate project!"

Many of them are fellow villagers of the Hong Kong Shunde Chamber of Commerce and the Shunde Friendship Association, because Lin Zhichao was absorbed as a member very early and also donated money, so he knows a lot of businessmen from Shunde.

These businessmen may not be very famous in later generations, but at this time they were also prominent figures in Hong Kong, such as how to enjoy Mian, and they were the owners of Zhenchang Dyeing Factory. Lin Zhichao also knew some Shunde bigwigs, such as Jian Dongpu, He Tian, etc., and did not initiate an invitation, after all, he had already been invited once or twice.

"Thank you all for coming and congratulations, I am deeply honored."

Immediately, Lin Zhichao chatted with everyone.

He Xiangmian sighed: "Now Lin Sheng is our 'standard green' businessman in Shunde, I see that what business you do, it is all advancing by leaps and bounds." I heard that you opened a zipper factory, and the business is so good that the zippers in Southeast Asia, RB, and Hong Kong are all buying yours. ”

Everyone inquired about the details of Cheung Kong Industrial.

Lin Zhichao hurriedly said: "Brother He, you have won the award, my zipper factory only accounts for a small part of the RB market." It's true to make money, but now Cheung Kong owes 900,000 Hong Kong dollars to the Bank of East Asia, and I wake up every day with debt scared to wake up. ”

"Haha, you Lin Zhichao is cheap and good. Why is Jian Lao willing to lend you a loan, it is not that he sees the potential of this zipper factory, and it is not trivial for you to repay the debt. He Xiangmian had an expression on his face that I knew you had earned a lot.

Everyone nodded, and Lin Zhichao has invisibly become the 'standard green' (outstanding person) of Shunde businessmen, and his influence has also begun to expand.

The problem now is that Shunde businessmen have three associations in Hong Kong - the Chamber of Commerce, the Friendship Association, and the Yuanyuan Hall, and they do not have a strong figure, so they are scattered.

Of course, Lin Zhichao will not take this head, although he may have the strength to integrate in the future; However, he feels that serving as the president of a certain chamber of commerce is bound to consume a lot of energy, which will affect people's safety.

And he aspires to become a world-class businessman, so naturally he will not spend too much energy on these. He can join a lot of chambers of commerce, charities, but he doesn't put too much effort into them.

"Jane is always a banker, and I mortgaged all my net worth to him, so I can lend money." Lin Zhichao continued to say modestly.

You can let others know what industry you have, and you can let others know that you have made money, but you can't let others know that you make a lot of money.

"Haha, you borrow money so fiercely, why don't you open your own bank!" A sentence was proposed.

Lin Zhichao said casually: "This proposal is good! But it's really open, you guys have to cheer! ”

Everyone blamed the person who had just proposed it in their hearts, but they still said kind words one after another.

Lin Zhichao does not doubt everyone's 'sincerity', if he opens a bank, these Shunde businessmen will definitely take care of one or two and deposit some funds in his bank.

However, this is out of the affection of the same Shunde people, so they will only deposit a small part of the funds in his bank, and everyone is more willing to trust HSBC, Standard Chartered Bank, and American Bank.

Lin Zhichao can actually copy Liao Baoshan's success and borrow money from fellow villagers and small and medium-sized depositors to speculate in gold and develop real estate; Just withdraw your funds when the time is right.

In this way, the speed of his development will be greatly accelerated.

However, Lin Zhichao didn't want to do this, he still wanted to pull HSBC as his backer, so he would not set up a bank. At least he won't get into banking until he gets rid of HSBC or British capital (before 1980).

After a polite conversation with everyone.

Tang Bingyuan also brought Wen Jinmei to cheer, and Lin Zhichao's future father-in-law, Tang Zhongyuan, also brought his future mother-in-law Song Qiaoling.

Lin Zhichao took the initiative to greet again!

Tang Bingyuan sighed: "We are still renting a house, but I didn't expect Zhichao to have built hundreds of buildings, which makes people ashamed!" ”

In fact, it's not that Tang Bingyuan can't afford to buy a house, but that he wants to live in a mansion in the mid-levels.

But it is impossible for property owners in Mid-levels to sell their properties, at least not for a few years, because they can charge high rents and top fees.

Lin Zhichao said modestly: "What I built is someone else's house, and what I live in is also rented. ”

"Haha"

After chatting for a while, the groundbreaking ceremony was officially held.

After the ceremony, everyone also said goodbye.

Lin Zhichao found two judges, Huang Shun and Sun Jian, and said: "Uncle Huang and Uncle Jian, the construction site has been handed over to you, you have to help me watch the prison, this real estate is not a matter of a few years, but a matter of decades, and word of mouth is quite important." Once it's smashed, it's hard to pick it up. ”

two judges, each responsible for the construction of 10 tenement buildings; Of course, they are actually subcontractors now, and the engineering department of Changjiang Real Estate is the general contractor.

Huang Shun and Sun Jian's expressions suddenly became serious, they understood that Lin Zhichao meant that Cheung Kong Real Estate would become a signboard in Hong Kong's real estate industry, and if they didn't do a good job in the project, not only would they not be able to receive the Cheung Kong Real Estate project in the future, but they might even have a bad reputation in the entire construction industry.

There is no need to question the influence of Changjiang Real Estate, and Lin Zhichao is a rising industry boss, so the two nodded seriously.

Huang Shun said: "Boss Lin, rest assured, I have been doing construction for so many years, and I will never do anything that violates my conscience. ”

Sun Jian also said: "Boss Lin, I am also a veteran of this industry, and I will definitely not do anything to smash the signboard." ”

Lin Zhichao immediately smiled and said: "Haha, Uncle Huang, Uncle Jian, I must be relieved of you, otherwise I wouldn't have cooperated so many times." ”

The two old Xingzun, who were in their fifties, were stunned by Lin Zhichao, and they also sighed in their hearts that Lin Zhichao was old-fashioned.

.......

Cheung Kong Real Estate will open another 20-building site, which is still relatively shocking news in the Hong Kong real estate industry. At a time when almost all home buyers are 'speculating on four hot meats', Changjiang Real Estate has started two major projects of more than 20 buildings in a row, and even sold one of the large plots.

Everyone is thinking about the question, is this model really profitable?

If it makes money, then why is the boss Zhang Jun of 'Huixin Real Estate' raising money everywhere to start work.

Everyone finally understands that 'sales of real estate' also requires skills, and there is no doubt that Lin Zhichao is the one who has the ability, and Zhang Jun is the one who has no skills.

But now Lin Zhichao's skills have been learned by everyone, so everyone has also become a person with skills.

However, the price of land and the price of old buildings have risen too high, and the profits have become thinner and thinner.

Everyone would rather do small land, but also carry out 'strata sales' and 'sales of off-the-plan properties', and then start buying land and old buildings after they are sold out, and continue to do projects.

In this way, it is still much more flexible than before, and Hong Kong has also begun to add a lot of new buildings, and real estate can be regarded as 'thriving'.

However, real estate is still not a hot spot to make money.

........

Zhang Jun of Huixin Real Estate also heard that Changjiang Real Estate would open another 100-story real estate, and his face suddenly showed bitterness.

To be honest, this time he opened a 15-building real estate, which itself is insufficient funds, not only inviting people to cooperate, but also planning to use the 'sales flower' to quickly return the funds.

Now it's a good thing, 75 floors have been sold for 15 floors, and there are still 60 floors waiting to be sold.

Zhang Jun can only borrow funds while trying to sell off-plan properties, and at present, it can be regarded as surviving the financial situation.

"In the first half of the year, we still sold quickly, and if we sell in the second half of the year, it will inevitably collide with Telford Garden. With Lin Zhichao's methods, I can't play him at all. Zhang Jun muttered to himself.

He was scared by Lin Zhichao, and between Christmas and New Year's Day last year, he was almost played to death, so now he has 'forest phobia'.

As everyone knows, Hong Kong's purchasing power is full in the second half of the year, and prices may be higher.

Of course, these are no longer Zhang Jun's business, he now just wants to sell the remaining 60 floors in the first half of the year, although he can't earn 700,000, he can also earn more than 600,000. The reason why I earned less was because I borrowed a little high-interest loan.
