Time flies, and it is mid-July in a blink of an eye.

On this day, Hong Kong newspapers published shocking news - the Hong Kong government officially decided to amend the building height limit ordinance in 1903 to encourage the development of buildings to high-rise; At the same time, the legal floor height was reduced from 3.5 meters to 3.2 meters, resulting in an increase in the floor area ratio.

For a time, Hong Kong's real estate really ushered in an explosion.

Of course, in recent years, land prices in Hong Kong have risen, but property prices have not risen much, and the current average price is around 30 Hong Kong dollars per square meter, and one floor is 30,000 Hong Kong dollars.

Since 1953, land prices have risen by more than 100%, while property prices have only increased by about 30%.

It is still the norm to be expensive and cheap!

Although a one-story building (one unit) only costs about 30,000 Hong Kong dollars, in fact, the average monthly salary is only more than 100 Hong Kong dollars, and you can go without eating or drinking for more than 25 years.

In the morning, the Lin family had breakfast together, and Lin Xin'er, who was studying abroad, also returned to Hong Kong for the summer vacation.

Although Lin Xin'er is about to enter her sophomore year, she is actually 22 years old, slim and slim, and looks as beautiful as Lin Zhichao.

"Xin'er, there's nothing to study abroad and fall in love, as long as you don't find me a foreigner brother-in-law!" Lin Zhichao encouraged.

His sister has never been in love, nor has she ever had an ambiguous object, which makes Lin Zhichao vaguely anxious, she won't really let him raise him for a lifetime!

Lin Xin'er raised her head, her face was no longer quiet and shy in the past, and she was more cheerful.

She smiled and said, "Brother, there are very few Chinese in our school, so if you want to fall in love at school, don't mention it." ”

Lin Zhichao paid attention: "No, there are so many Chinese in the United States, there must be dozens or hundreds of Chinese students in your school!" ”

After World War II, it was already popular to study in the United States, and Europe was no longer the best choice.

After all, the United States is the boss of the world.

Lin Xin'er said: "That's also hard to find, you can't force it if you can't see it." Besides, brother, didn't you say that it's okay to raise me for the rest of my life, and I have two sisters-in-law to testify! ”

Xu Caiying immediately said: "I can prove that your brother did say this!" ”

Lin Zhichao shook his head, how can he really keep raising it all the time, it's really a joke that his sister can't get married!

is beautiful and cultured, as long as there is no problem with the orientation, then it must be married.

But there is really no hurry, the eldest princess of the Lin family is married at the age of thirty, and no one is gossiping.

As a mother, Wu Wenying doesn't care about this matter at all, leaving the matter to her son, she only cares about her grandson. Of course, occasionally I will go out to play mahjong with others, and there is a special car to pick you up.

Therefore, the pressure is on Lin Zhichao, and he doesn't want his sister to marry casually, the man must be very good.

It's not that I'm worried about the man dividing the family property, after all, the wealth that Lin Zhichao gave to Lin Xin'er is impossible for the man to get, and there is a law that can restrain it. I just don't want my sister to have no common language with my husband.

Subsequently, Lin Zhichao stopped discussing this topic.

"Caiyun, you will go to work with me later, Changjiang Industry has a meeting in the morning!"

Tang Caiyun immediately said happily: "Is it a matter of building a high-rise?" ”

Lin Zhichao nodded and said, "Hmm"

The two of them stopped in moderation and talked less about work at home.

After eating breakfast and cleaning up, the Lin family went to school when they should go to school, went to work when they should go to work, and kept their home when they should keep their home, everything was very harmonious and perfect.

Morning.

In the conference room of Cheung Kong Industrial, all the senior executives noticed that something was different, and the boss actually came to the company in the morning and held a meeting.

Coupled with the building regulations just passed by the Hong Kong government, everyone understands that the development opportunities of Cheung Kong are coming.

Lin Zhichao sat in the main seat, looked at everyone's mental outlook, and was more satisfied.

In the first half of the year, Cheung Kong also spent 20 million Hong Kong dollars to purchase properties and land, including the purchase of a 160,000 square foot of land next to the 'Telford Garden' on Ferry Street, at a cost of more than 12 million Hong Kong dollars, and the original owner was also China Gas.

Therefore, this land will be merged with 'Telford Gardens' in the future for unified development. After all, with a land area of nearly 200,000 square feet, it should be possible to build 2,000~3,000 residential units; As for the acquisition of Defu Garden, the follow-up Cheung Kong can adopt the method of existing house replacement and cash subsidy, and slowly collect it, anyway, there is no rush to develop.

"The Hong Kong government passed the new ordinance, indicating that the spring of real estate is coming! Next, we will do the first project, which is to cooperate with others to develop the land at 16~20 Kimberley Road, and I plan to build the first high-rise residential building in Hong Kong. Sell in the form of an off-plan sale. Of course, when planning this project, we will encounter some problems, and we need to think about solutions to set an example for Hong Kong's real estate industry. ”

On Campari Road, Cheung Kong also has a unique 22,000 sq ft plot of land that can also be used to build residential towers. But at present, of course, it is necessary to solve the problems faced through a project, and Li Gaofu's land is just to solve it and serve as a demonstration.

Deputy General Manager Huang Hongchang said: "For the sale of residential properties in sub-units, the Hong Kong government has not clearly stated how to make the property deed, but the Hong Kong government has clarified the strata title deed. This is the same as in the beginning, as long as there is a lawyer to handle the sub-unit lease, the Housing Department will recognise it. However, in this way, a building is like a private housing estate, but there is no possibility of a property management company, so there will be a lot of problems - for example, how to allocate the cost of elevator maintenance, the purchase of elevators, the cost of public lights, the cost of watching, the cost of taking out the garbage, etc.? ”

The management discussed it because it is impossible to share these costs equally, because the price of each floor is different, and there will definitely be various contradictions.

Those owners who buy the shops below do not need elevators, staircase lights, or looks, they have their own, so although the price of the shop may be two to three times more expensive than each unit, they are not willing to pay two to three times the management fee of others. In addition, the owners have the right to use their own space at will, and others have no right to interfere, but there are more disputes between them. For example, if you set up a factory in a building, you will disturb others with noise when you start working. If you open a restaurant, you can install a neon sign at the door, which will be lit up all night, making it difficult for the guests to sleep...... There are many issues such as these, which cannot be solved well in law.

Lin Zhichao didn't take this to the test, and after discussing it about the same, he said: "These questions are very simple! In the future, when the building collapses, each unit will be folded into a number of plots of land, which can be divided according to the price of the house at the time of purchase, and the underground shops will be more expensive, accounting for a larger proportion, but the management fee will also be more expensive. As soon as the buyer buys the property, he or she has to sign this public covenant and assume the responsibilities and expenses of the whole company. ”

As long as you buy my house, you have to sign a public housing lease, and if you sign a public housing deed, you have to be responsible and costly.

Everyone's eyes lit up, and their hands kept recording.

Soon, it was decided to take immediate action to launch Hong Kong's first high-rise residential building.

Of course, the buildings on the Kowloon side are limited because there is an airport.

Moreover, each piece of land has a plot ratio, and the height is not as high as you want.

After the meeting, Lin Zhichao went upstairs to the global shipping company to check for a while. He has now arranged the affairs of global shipping, and the daily technical meetings are chaired by him, and the top management can stand alone.

At the same time, in April, Global Shipping built two 35,000-ton oil tankers at Japanese shipyards, each priced at only $4.1 million, for a total of $8.2 million.

Because Lin Zhichao has calculated, the funds on the account of Global Shipping, plus the money earned as of July next year, are enough to build these two ships; At the same time, it can also reserve more than $2 million in liquidity.

When the Japanese shipyard received the order for these two ships, it was naturally overjoyed, and was even willing to accept only 20% of the shipbuilding funds, and the remaining 80% of the funds could be paid in installments after operation.

Originally, this condition was good, but there was an additional condition, that is, you had to sign a lease contract with a Japanese shipping company to ensure that there was no problem with the installment payment.

That's good for others, but it's certainly not good for global shipping.

Global Shipping has built a total of 10 oil tankers, with a total tonnage of 520,000 tons, all of which are facing the 'Suez Canal crisis' next year.

In the lobby of Gaosheng Teahouse, Lin Zhichao and Li Gaofu were having a 'working lunch' and chatting.

"This land is intended to be built into a 12-storey commercial and residential building, with another basement, the first floor and basement are used as shops, and the upper 11 floors are used as residences, with 16 residential units on each floor, each unit is 850~980 square feet. If you are willing to cooperate, we are ready to sign the contract immediately, and it will be sold out by the end of the year. ”

Although Li Gaofu has already said that he will cooperate, I still ask for his opinion, maybe he has changed his mind!

Lin Zhichao doesn't have to cooperate, but Li Gaofu wants to do real estate, so he just pays the tuition.

Li Gaofu immediately said: "Of course I am willing to cooperate, and I have full authority to entrust the development of Changjiang Real Estate, I just need to learn and learn!" ”

Lin Zhichao said with a smile: "It's not necessarily necessary to study, after a while, everyone will know how we sell high-rise residential buildings, and we don't have to pay tuition." ”

Li Gaofu said: "After all, I can sign the contract right away!" ”

The two are not brothers, just cousins, but they are actually brothers, and they have been together for so many years, and they have already had a very good relationship.

Lin Zhichao nodded and said, "Well, I will leave the shops on the first floor and basement of this project to you, not counting the profit sharing, you can just use it to collect rent." ”

Li Gaofu hurriedly said: "How can this be done! ”

said that he would divide the account five or five times, this is not to let him take advantage of the battle!

And this piece of land was introduced by Lin Zhichao.

Lin Zhichao said with a smile: "I just used this project as a warm-up, I really didn't want to make much money!" ”

Li Gaofu insisted on saying: "Anyway, if the first floor and basement are left to me to collect rent, the profit share of the upper eleven floors will be four or six points, six for you and four for me." ”

He calculated in his heart that nearly 180 homes were already five million sales. If he divides it into forty, he can also get 2 million, and the land money has been returned, and he has earned nearly one million. Coupled with the shops, it is already a big profit.

And if Lin Zhichao divides 3 million, the construction cost plus taxes will be more than 1 million, and he can earn nearly 2 million.

In fact, if the current value of this land is concerned, it is already about 1.8 million Hong Kong dollars. The construction cost of 1 million is more reasonable (theoretically, the next land price is generally twice the construction cost, of course, it is only approximate), so according to the current purchase price of the land, the overall profit should be doubled.

It's still very profitable.

"Then let's decide!" Lin Zhichao didn't push around for hundreds of thousands.

Just as the two were eating, someone took the initiative to greet Li Gaofu.

"Li Sheng"

Li Gaofu also responded: "The rest of my life"

Lin Zhichao is not surprising, after all, in this era, when it comes to meals, major meals and tea restaurants are overcrowded, many of them are businessmen gathering, everyone talks to each other, and strangers can also become friends and partners; It wasn't until later generations, when the buildings in Hong Kong were taller, everyone's pace was faster, and the environment in which they got along was more upscale and private, that everyone ended this style of communication.

It was not surprising, but when he heard Li Gaofu say 'the rest of his life', and saw that he was a bald businessman with the temperament of a soldier, Lin Zhichao became curious.

"Introduction"

Li Gaofu immediately said: "This is our heroic general Yu Chengwan of Guangdong Province, but he now runs a number of businesses, including rice stores, grocery stores, and farms. For the rest of your life, this is Mr. Lin Zhichao, you must have heard of it! ”

Yu Chengwan was already a businessman at this time, and as for the identity of a general, he actually didn't recognize it at all in Hong Kong, Hong Kong only recognized money, which was his experience for many years. Thanks to his status as a native of Guangdong Province, he was a very prosperous one of the G Army who came to Hong Kong, cooperating with friends to do business.

"I've heard it, I've looked up for a long time"

"It turned out to be General Huben, and I am Jiuyang!"

Subsequently, everyone simply shared the table, which can be regarded as getting to know each other. The main thing is that Lin Zhichao is very interested in Yu Chengwan, so everyone sat down.

Otherwise, a small businessman like Yu Chengwan really can't make friends with Lin Zhichao. On the contrary, Li Gaofu has vast magical powers, and all kinds of people come into contact with him.

"I didn't expect that I would have one hand in war and one hand in business for the rest of my life, which is really amazing!"

"Whereever, I'm a chicken farmer, what kind of business."

"Where to raise chickens?"

"Pingshan, New Territories, there is a farm, where do I raise some farm chickens, Lin Sheng can come and play when he is free!"

"How's that weekend? I also want to hear the story of General Yu! ”

Everyone was a little surprised, what kind of person Lin Zhichao is, why should he pay attention to a 'down-and-out general' like Yu Chengwan, this is Hong Kong after all, the world of businessmen.

Yu Chengwan is also a little 'flattered', he is now doing a line of love, since he is in business, it is naturally cheap in the Canton Shopping Mall. If you know a big businessman like Lin Zhichao, maybe you can still cooperate in business in the future!

No matter how you say it, everyone is a Cantonese businessman.

"It's an honor, then I'm looking forward to Lin Sheng's visit!"

"Haha, you're a senior, you're welcome!"

In fact, Lin Zhichao suddenly became interested in Yu Cheng Wanlai because he remembered that he seemed to have been shot by robbers. At the same time, in his previous life, he also saw Yu Chengwan played by Lu Liangwei, and his memory was quite profound.

Let's make friends!

Yu Chengwan returned to the farm in Ping Shan, New Territories, and arranged for workers to rectify the environment of the farm.

Even, he also talked to his second wife Wu Bing: "I have a friend who is coming to the farm to be a guest on the weekend, you should clean up your house and don't make people feel embarrassed." ”

Wu Bing was originally a young lady in Suzhou, and she was very beautiful, and later admired Yu Chengwan, so she committed herself to being a concubine; Yu Chengwan also has a large house and lives in the Tsim Sha Tsui business district, while Wu Bing lives on a country farm in Ping Shan, New Territories.

"What big people are coming, you have to clean up, you are not welcome on Taiwan Island now!" Wu Bing asked curiously.

Yu Chengwan has always made some unfavorable comments about Taiwan in recent years, so it is really unpopular.

"It's a big businessman! Has Lin Zhichao heard of it? ”

"Ahh Of course I've heard of it, it's a ship king, a factory king, how can you still know such a person? ”

Yu Chengwan said proudly: "I'm also a Tiger General, what's so strange about getting to know him!" ”

Wu Bing said angrily: "Stinky and proud! ”

In fact, the reason why Yu Chengwan is really famous is because he found a family to write a book, which is mainly the story of the 8,000 Tiger Army. However, although the War of Resistance was heroic, after all, Yu Chengwan did not live and die with the city, that is, he did not sacrifice, and the result was also dealt with by a bald head.

Wu Bing admired the rest of Cheng Wanlai because of that book.

Yu Chengwan said with a smile: "Everyone is a Cantonese businessman, if I can follow Mr. Lin's path, maybe we can cooperate with a bigger business in the future, and you don't have to raise chickens on this farm." ”

He loves Wu Bing, but after all, there is a big house. Therefore, he can only attribute the assets of the rice shop, grocery store, and cooperative pawnshop in Kowloon to the big house guard, while Wu Bing, the concubine, can only belong to one farm.

But in any case, Yu Chengwan is very proud, how many generals of the Whampoa Military Academy are running around for a little money, eager to go overseas to do apartments (generally referring to bureaucrats who have lost power and live in other countries, etc.).

The glory of these people is a thing of the past, and it is the best thing to have money to live.

Yu Chengwan relies on his identity as a native of Guangdong Province, so he is also a local in Hong Kong, and as soon as he comes to Hong Kong, he has a partnership to do business, and he has a little wealth in a few years.

At the end of the week, Lin Zhichao and Li Gaofu came to Yu Chengwan's farm and were warmly welcomed by him.

"Lin Sheng, this is my second lady Wu Bing, she is here to watch the farm for me!"

Lin Zhichao glanced at Wu Bing slightly, and her heart was really a beautiful young woman, with big watery eyes, and there was a kind of seductive charm; This reminded him that in his previous life, there were rumors that the black boss took a fancy to Wu Bing and then pretended to be kidnapped by robbers; Of course, there are also rumors that it was a killer sent by Taiwan, because Yu Chengwan said a lot of unfavorable things.

However, Lin Zhichao prefers to believe that political leaders and generals like Yu Chengwan who have lost power are still easy to be kidnapped and asked for money, and may even be what their former subordinates did.

According to Lin Zhichao's knowledge, many generals like Yu Chengwan came to Hong Kong, and they were knocked on the door by their subordinates and asked for money, which means that you are developed, how can you not take care of your brothers, the money looted back then should also have a share of the brothers, right?

"Mrs. Yu, our brothers want to taste the delicious chicken on the farm today, won't it be troublesome?"

Wu Bing said affectionately: "Lin Sheng, look at what you said, my husband Jun Qianqian told me to treat everyone well today, you can come, that is to look up to us." There are no good things in the poor countryside here, but the local chickens and ducks must be done well for everyone today. ”

"Haha, then we're welcome!"

Subsequently, everyone inspected the farm here, to be honest, Lin Zhichao almost didn't come to these remote villages in the New Territories like this.

At this time, the New Territories was just a rural area, but there were many warlords, dignitaries and the like, which could be described as Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon. There is also a group of people in Hong Kong, who can be traced back to the officials and widows of the Qing Dynasty, such as the family of Shangshu Xu Yingqi, who came to Hong Kong as early as this century, and whose descendants even made a lot of money by selling land in Central, which is much more profitable than being a Shangshu.

"For the rest of your life, how much money can this farm make in a year?" During this period, Lin Zhichao asked Yu Cheng Wandao.

"I can't make much money, the main thing is to settle my family, and I can earn 10,000 or 20,000 yuan a year." Yu Chengwan said enthusiastically.

Today is a great day for him, and to have the friendship of such a businessman, who is now determined to make money, such connections are naturally very useful.

Lin Zhichao said with a smile: "I've only heard of Da Yin in the city, how can I arrange the second lady in this poor country for the rest of my life, the security here is not very good." ”

Yu Chengwan said: "There happens to be a farm here, and you can make some money more or less!" ”

Lin Zhichao said: "Yes! ”

He could stop the topic in moderation, after all, he didn't know when Yu Chengwan was killed, so he would talk about it when he had a chance. The reason why I want to save people is because I admire such soldiers, not to mention that they are from Guangdong Province!

At noon, when eating, there was a table full of wine and delicacies, and it could be seen that the host was very enthusiastic.

After three rounds of drinking, Lin Zhichao said: "Thank you for today's delicious wine and food, as well as the story of General Yu, it is really a great joy in life." I think the Battle of Changde"

Yu Chengwan also said happily: "If Lin Sheng was born an era earlier, he must also be a general who protects his family and defends the country." He followed Lin Zhichao's desire to listen to the kind of bloody scene, and said flattering words and scene words.

Although he also wants to tell the story of the past, he is more looking forward to the future life.

Lin Zhichao said happily: "It's over, I don't have to be that material!" ”

Suddenly, Wu Bing's voice came from behind: "Lin Sheng, you are the richest man in Hong Kong, pointing out the business of the two of us, is this farm a head?" ”

Everyone was eating, and Wu Bing and his children naturally couldn't serve at the table, but Wu Bing was tired of guarding the farm in the countryside, so he asked this question oversteppingly. It's not a matter of this problem itself, but I just want Lin Zhichao to guide the two of them to do some money-making business.

Yu Chengwan immediately said: "What are you talking about!" Lin Sheng's big business, is it something we can do? ”

Lin Zhichao waved his hand and said, "Since sister-in-law said it, Brother Yu, if you yell at her like this again, won't it make me offend people!" ”

Yu Chengwan hurriedly said: "Yes, yes, but don't take it to heart, we are making friends today, where does the business come from!" ”

Lin Zhichao took the opportunity to say: "You can't say that!" Generally speaking, friends must be taken advantage of, otherwise they will be strangers sooner or later. My sister-in-law has said it, then I'll talk about your farm, to be honest, the New Territories is really a poor and remote place, and I was targeted that day, and safety is a problem, especially the identity of Brother Yu and the beauty of my sister-in-law. If you want me to say, it is better to raise chickens than to speculate on houses, and you can easily start flipping houses, and you can earn money for a year to open a farm. ”

At this time, in addition to Li Gaofu and Yu Chengwan, there was also Yu Chengwan's cousin. Lin Zhichao didn't think there was anything, real estate companies also need agency companies.

"Flipping houses?" Yu Chengwan and Wu Bing asked at the same time.

Lin Zhichao nodded, and then said, "Everyone wants to have tiles to cover their heads. We are preparing to develop a high-rise residential building, if you are interested, you can come and speculate on the off-the-plan. About 30,000 residential units, with a down payment of only 15,000, if you buy a few units, even if it takes a few months, there will be a lot of profits from selling. Of course, it's up to you to decide, and I'm just a suggestion. ”

Obviously, Wu Bing was very excited, and Yu Chengwan was also thinking about it. (End of chapter)
