Chapter 226 [Show Weakness? 】
It's spring again!
Spring is coming, and Lin Zhichao's mood is particularly comfortable.
In the morning, Lin Zhichao moved his muscles and bones in the yard, feeling the powerful and active functions of his body.
This made him feel that he could maintain the state of thirty at the age of sixty, and he would reach the age of thirty in the true sense of the word.
And now, he is not yet 29 years old.
That means that in the nineties, although Lin Zhichao was in his sixties, he still had a state of thirty or forty years old.
If in 2023, when Lin Zhichao is 95 years old, he travels to the great rivers and mountains of the motherland, and is seen by tourists walking like flying, I am afraid it will set off a lot of news!
What a fun thing!
Of course, as time goes by, Lin Zhichao doesn't care about that at all.
The nature of the mind in the previous life has disappeared completely.
Before lunch.
Lin Zhichao came to Cheung Kong Industrial.
Hu Zhaoxu came to Lin Zhichao's office as soon as possible and handed over a piece of information.
"Boss, the real estate sales plan of the Seven Sisters in North Point, take a look!"
Lin Zhichao then flipped through the information and found that Cheung Kong Industrial has three plots of land in North Point, which is the 'sales flower' of the second plot, and there is also a plot of land in his hand.
Originally, he wanted to develop an industrial building in North Point, but later decided to develop an industrial building in Kwun Tong so that it would not need to be demolished in the future. As for the industrial building, of course, it is for Cheung Kong's factories, such as the crocodile shirt manufacturing department, the traveler's suitcase (which will be transferred to its subsidiary in the future), doll instant noodles, etc.
Therefore, the three plots of land in the north corner will be developed into 18~20-storey commercial and residential buildings in the future.
"Hmm. According to the situation of our third property sales this year, the market is now a 'supply and demand imbalance', and the house cannot be sold. I don't know how long it will take to sell this building before it will be sold out! ”
Hu Zhaoxu said: "Yes, it is difficult to sell out a property now, and some residential buildings have been advertised for a month before they are taken down. ”
Nowadays, the advertising channel for selling houses is almost through newspapers. In recent years, real estate has been booming, and some newspapers are divided into many small pages, each of which is an advertisement for the sale of a building. If the house is not sold out, the ad will not be removed.
Attentive people can actually find that there are more and more houses recently. More professionally, I found that many properties have not been sold out for a long time.
Of course, these phenomena are difficult for ordinary people to know, and real estate businesses can ignore them, or simply exaggerate them.
And for real estate developers at this time, everyone thinks that real estate is unlikely to plummet; Because there is no war, why have the prices of houses and land in Hong Kong fallen?
That's what everyone really thinks before the first risk.
"Then sell it at this price! Selling out is not a big problem! Lin Zhichao said.
The unit price set by Cheung Kong is about 9% off the same lot, and 5 Hong Kong dollars less per square foot.
Hu Zhaoxu said: "We have the 'credibility and reputation' that other real estate developers do not have, coupled with the price advantage, the problem of selling out is not big, it just takes longer than before." But I guess there's no problem with selling out in March. ”
Credibility and word-of-mouth are also an option for citizens. Cheung Kong's sales advertisements have a domineering slogan of 'Changjiang Buildings, all over Hong Kong and Kowloon'.
In fact, Cheung Kong has sold 15 properties with a total of 22 buildings.
"Good"
The last real estate, Lin Zhichao also hopes that it will go smoothly.
Although there is no problem with keeping these houses in his hands, he has always adhered to the principle of 'goods are like wheels'.
Cheung Kong already has about 150 residential units in its hands, which are all of the best floors in the 22 buildings; This is because these residential units are ready to be exchanged for the owners of 'Telford Gardens', and of course there will be a cash subsidy.
Cheung Kong posted an advertisement on another North Point site and sold it, which immediately aroused the dissatisfaction of the 'North Point King' Lee Kang Kit and his partners. Li Kangjie believes that Cheung Kong should not be cheaper than the real estate of the United Corporation, which is a market destruction.
For a while, this kind of news spread all over the real estate circle.
In fact, everyone also understands that in addition to this reason, there is also the fact that Li Kangjie and others regard North Point as 'self-reserved land'; now Changjiang Real Estate has suddenly opened up two North Point sites, which are sold relatively cheaply, and they are suddenly a little dissatisfied.
The same is true of Chan Tak Tai's land grabbing North Point. However, dissatisfaction is dissatisfaction, Chen Detai also snatched away two North Point sites, and Li Kangjie and others could only raise the price twice, so that Chen Detai knew that it was difficult to retreat.
On this day, Aomen He Xian invited Lin Zhichao to dinner, accompanied by Li Gaofu, and the location was Lu Yu Teahouse.
During the banquet, He Xian quickly said a 'digression', he said: "Lin Sheng, are you not optimistic about Hong Kong real estate? ”
Lin Zhichao instantly understood that He Xian wanted to talk about 'selling at a reduced price'.
The two can be regarded as friends, and He Xian once helped Lin Zhichao, and it was convenient to import gold at the beginning.
Therefore, Lin Zhichao said: "Recently, it has been difficult to sell houses, and you should also know it." Moreover, we reduced the price by 5 Hong Kong dollars, which is not a malicious price reduction! ”
He Xian immediately said: "No, of course not, the pricing of each real estate developer is different." What Lin Sheng heard definitely did not include what I meant. Then he continued: "I just want to ask Lin Sheng, is the real estate prospect really as good as everyone said?" ”
Lin Zhichao said in embarrassment: "He Sheng, these are all people's own ideas. I want to quickly recoup the funds to build a few commercial projects in Central. As for the outlook for real estate, I am definitely optimistic about long-term development. However, as a friend, I advise you to guarantee less loans, you will own 20% of the shares, but the risk is great. ”
As far as he knew, many of the loans of the Great United Company were signed and guaranteed by He Xian; Although the other party's bank is Hang Seng Bank, once the crisis of the large joint company comes, Hang Seng Bank will also look for He Xian to collect debts.
Because of brothers, they settle accounts. What's more, Hang Seng Bank is not alone, it is the work of many veterans.
He Xian was suddenly a little worried, of course he didn't come to settle accounts with Lin Zhichao, the first is that there is no reason, and the second is that he has no strength, at least he has no strength in Hong Kong. When he really looked for Lin Zhichao, he was probing the wind, because he knew Lin Zhichao's legend, so he felt that there must be a demon when something went wrong.
"You have a point!"
After the dinner, He Xian returned to the Great United Company.
Li Kangjie immediately asked, "He Sheng, what did you say?" How many other properties does Cheung Kong have in the North Point? ”
It turned out that he was worried that Cheung Kong would come up with a new real estate, and if this continued, the real estate in his hand would not be easy to sell.
Ho Xian said: "Others don't plan to develop the North Point property for the time being. Moreover, they have a plot of land in North Point, which they can consider selling! ”
Li Kangjie's eyes lit up and said: "He Sheng's face is really big enough, even Lin Zhichao buys it!" How big is that lot? ”
He Xian immediately said worriedly: "Will this real estate be adjusted in the short term, what are the risks?" I think we should be a little bit more steady. ”
He felt that Lin Zhichao seemed to be advising him not to take risks with Li Kangjie, especially not to guarantee loans. He still believes in Lin Zhichao and won't harm him, after all, there is no need, everyone is friends.
After Li Kangjie saw He Xian and Lin Zhichao, he immediately doubted his real estate prospects, and said without thinking about it: "He Sheng, you can rest assured of this, our large joint company has earned more than 20 million Hong Kong dollars, and Hong Kong's real estate is hot, we should take the opportunity to continue to grow." ”
He Xian immediately said: "It's just that the most house seems to be a little saturated recently?" ”
Li Kangjie said with a smile: "I can't say that I am saturated, I can only say that there is a lot of competition now." Moreover, as long as half of a real estate is sold, we can earn back the land fee and construction fee (exaggerated), what are you afraid of, the house is still ours, just keep it and sell it slowly. ”
Soon, He Xian was persuaded again, because what Li Kangjie said was also very reasonable.
Next, Li Kangjie immediately asked: "Where is the land sold by Cheung Kong in North Point?" How much are you going to pay out? ”
In his opinion, it may be that He Xian's face is big, and Lin Zhichao has no intention of interfering in the real estate project in North Point, so Cheung Kong sold its North Point site.
He Xian said: "I didn't say it! However, Li Gaofu has a good relationship with Lin Sheng, and he will find out if he asks. ”
Li Kangjie's eyes lit up, Li Gaofu is also one of the shareholders of the Great Union (5%), and has a great relationship with Lin Zhichao; In his opinion, Lin Zhichao made concessions in this way, and everyone saved face.
Cheung Kong Industrial.
"Boss, the contract has been signed, and the down payment has been credited to our account!" Huang Changhong handed over a piece of information.
Lin Zhichao looked at the contract for the sale of a land in North Point, and smiled in his heart.
He sold a 28,000-square-foot plot of land in North Point to Da Lianhe for HK$4.6 million, and the unit price was already more than HK$160 per square foot.
Of course, this price belongs to the market price, and there is no cheating person.
"Yes, we made 2 million from the land fee alone, what else to develop!"
Huang Changhong knows that the boss is by no means a compromise; At least, even if you don't go to North Point and Western Link to buy land, then it is impossible to sell the land in hand.
Then it can be guessed that the boss sells the North Point land at a high price, and the real estate may plummet.
Of course, he couldn't understand why real estate plummeted.
If it is only an imbalance between supply and demand, then the market will only fall slightly by one wave, and there should be no sharp fall.
Huang Changhong didn't think about it anymore, he knew that the boss must have made some discovery, but this kind of discovery must be something that others can't detect.
"Boss, that Li Kangjie bought our land this time, I'm afraid it's even more terrible, I really regard myself as the 'king of North Point'."
Lin Zhichao said with a smile: "If the sky wants it to die, it must be mad first!" They probably felt that in North Point, even I would have to shy away from the big unions. In this way, Li Kangjie and the others will be even more crazy, wait and see! ”
He was also very dissatisfied with Li Kangjie, his real estate was bought very early, and he actually thought that Cheung Kong Industrial wanted to grab his territory. Protecting calves like this is not suitable for real estate at all, so it is better to die as soon as possible, so as not to look disgusting.
Although Liao Baoshan also used Xihuan as a base, she never said that others should not develop it.
But in any case, this kind of people who like to engage in small circles must be cleaned up.
The land he sold for 4.6 million yuan, after a period of time, the price of fifty or sixty percent can almost be bought back.
Huang Changhong said: "It's true that this phenomenon is not good! What kind of cake boys, big unions, and circles of mountains, they are all laymen engaged in real estate, which has damaged the entire industry. ”
Lin Zhichao replied: "Ignore them!" Doing our project well is the most important thing at the moment. ”
"Yes"
Huang Changhong was suddenly full of enthusiasm, Cheung Kong's current projects are not, residential real estate, commercial real estate, it is simply a large investment.
Cheung Kong sold a plot of land in North Point to United Real Estate Company; Therefore, people in the circle believe that in the face of the 'Hong Kong and Macao businessmen' of Da United Real Estate, even Lin Zhichao does not want to entangle with it.
In the large joint company, although Li Kangjie is the head, his shares are only 25%; He Xian is a financial strategist, accounting for 20% of the shares; The rest of the shares are in the hands of eight or nine people.
The so-called number of people is overwhelming, this is the truth.
After this incident, Liao Baoshan also invited Lin Zhichao to dinner, and Airship Tai and Li Gaofu also participated.
During the banquet, Liao Baoshan said with a big grin: "Lin Sheng, it's not me who said, if you come to Xihuan to develop, I will never complain, everyone just competes fairly." Every time Li Kangjie and others go to North Point to develop a territory, they are very hyped, and even you don't want to bother them this time. They've gone a little too far! ”
Blimp Tai and Li Gaofu immediately regretted joining this large United Real Estate Company, and the two of them had participated in smuggling at the beginning, so they couldn't erase their feelings, so they symbolically invested 5% of the shares.
However, neither of them was involved in the affairs of this company, and they simply let it go, and they didn't even check the accounts.
Lin Zhichao smiled: "It's okay, I earned 2 million Hong Kong dollars on the land." It just so happens that everyone has money to work together, and if they want to develop it, they will develop it for them. ”
Liao Baoshan and the three of them saw Lin Zhichao's hearty smile, and immediately understood that Lin Zhichao didn't take Li Kangjie and others seriously at all, and sold the land to them, but he didn't want to entangle.
Airship Tai said at this time: "Now this building is still a little difficult to sell, and the market supply has been a bit large in the past two years." ”
Liao Baoshan said indifferently: "It's not good to sell, just sell slowly, this house price is rising slower than the land price, and there is potential!" ”
Airship Tai and Li Gaofu also agree with this point of view, they are not leaps and bounds, and because they entered the sales market earlier, they are relatively strong.
Take 10,000 steps back and say, even if the house price and land price plummet, they will not lose a lot, and they can pay the land fee, construction fee, etc. without lack of money.
However, at this time, Lin Zhichao vaguely guessed that because of his appearance, he also brought a Li Gaofu in to get a piece of the pie, I am afraid that the house will not be sold, and it will reach saturation about half a year in advance.
Next, it was difficult for everyone to sell their houses, and the remaining houses in Hong Kong were accumulating more and more.
And once the Hong Kong government promulgates the 'restriction on the sale of uncompleted properties', it will be the last straw to be removed.
Perhaps, in the second half of this year, there will be a big crash. (End of chapter)
