At the beginning of the new week, in the office of Cheung Kong Industrial, Lin Zhichao and five subordinates, Huang Changhong, Zhou Fuzhao, Hu Zhaoxu, Liang Guangchang, and Li Baobao, were meeting at the conference table in his office.

Five people can be regarded as the core executives of Cheung Kong Industrial, and they are highly valued by Lin Zhichao, among which Liang Guangchang is the person in charge of commercial real estate, Li Paul is the general manager of Poly Construction, and the other three are the group's 'three carriages'.

And the content of this meeting is precisely about the bidding for the 'Navy Yard'.

Lin Zhichao held a pen in one hand and pressed it on a notebook with the other, and said seriously: "I don't expect that there will be any European, American and Japanese real estate buyers to bid for the bidding of the Navy Dockyard, even Hongkong Land may not participate, after all, only the deposit requires 6 million Hong Kong dollars." ”

Hu Zhaoxu said: "It is said that the Hong Kong government hosted two waves of home buyers from Japan, and it was a very grand reception. It can be seen that the Hong Kong government especially wants to use this incident to achieve the idea of revitalizing Hong Kong's real estate. ”

After thinking about it, Huang Changhong said: "In this way, if these foreign investors do not come to bid, the Hong Kong government's goal will not be achieved, and I am afraid that there is an idea of canceling the bidding." ”

After Lin Zhichao heard this, he said to Paul Li: "Is the draft plan ready?" Let's take a look! ”

Paul Li nodded, and then handed the information to everyone, each with a copy.

The 1.17 million square feet of land for the entire naval dockyard was sketched by Lin Zhichao, whose idea was to build an 'open' commercial complex of Hong Kong's landmark buildings, including shopping malls, office towers and five-star hotels. The buildings are connected by pedestrian bridges, and the commercial complex has multiple open roads, some of which resemble the Ginza design of Japan.

To the east of the site is the future Pacific Place, which is now part of the former Navy Yard. In later generations, Pacific Place was only more than 200,000 square feet, and this piece of land was 1.17 million square feet, about four or five times its size.

Of course, the buildings on the land are under the planning jurisdiction of the Hong Kong government, but Lin Zhichao is not worried, because he has a good relationship with the Hong Kong government, and there is no need to worry about the Hong Kong government making things difficult for him; What's more, the plan designed by Cheung Kong must be developing towards 'landmark' and 'commercial', so there is absolutely no big problem.

However, even if Airship Tai won the bid for him in his previous life, he had to sell it after making it as difficult as Starlight Building. He was not qualified to pass the architectural design alone.

Lin Zhichao said: "Assuming that Europe, the United States and Japan do not come to bid, and Hongkong Land does not come to bid, the Hong Kong government will definitely feel that their purpose has not been achieved, and the possibility of cancellation is very high." However, I am very interested in this piece of land, and I plan to implement two methods to see if I can take it. First, the high-priced bid, which is a high price for others, is a long-term plan for me, so I consider setting the bid price at more than HK$100 million; Second, find real estate developers from Europe, the United States and Japan to accompany the bid, which plays a role in confusing the Hong Kong government. ”

In this era, everyone still doesn't know what a companion is!

Sure enough, these subordinates were a little confused, Huang Changhong said: "Boss, how to accompany the bid, this deposit is 6 million Hong Kong dollars!" ”

Lin Zhichao said: "We found two or three European, American and Japanese property buyers to come to collude in the bidding, and they only need to participate in the bidding to get a benefit fee of 3 million Hong Kong dollars. They can set the bid price at 5000~70 million, and it is impossible to win the bid at this price, they are the bidders. And we put the bid price above 100 million, which is definitely a stable bid price. Importantly, there is no reason for the Hong Kong government to cancel the tender. ”

Everyone's eyes lit up, and this method seemed to be very good.

Of course, the premise is mainly that the boss attaches great importance to this piece of land, so he does this.

Huang Changhong said: "This piece of land looks big, but how to plan it is limited by the Hong Kong government and full of uncertainty. In addition, these home buyers have no intention of bidding, so the bid price of 5000~70 million is indeed impossible. ”

In his previous life, Airship Tai was probably at this price (it is said to be tens of millions), he thought he was going to pick up the leak, but the Hong Kong government couldn't be so stupid, and it was strange that such a low price was not canceled.

With a land area of 1.17 million square meters, even if it is 100 Hong Kong dollars per square foot, it will cost 117 million Hong Kong dollars.

The reason why the valuation is so low is that the Hong Kong government does not stipulate the plot ratio of this site, and the planning is subject to the constraints of the Hong Kong government. If the real estate is in full bloom, I am afraid that the value will be about 2~300 million Hong Kong dollars.

Lin Zhichao said: "So, while finding a partner, my price will not be low." Otherwise, the Hong Kong government will be given the lever to cancel the tender. Assuming that 8 buildings can be built on this piece of land, according to the current price of 800~1000 Hong Kong dollars per square foot in Central, the land of a building will be about 20 million, and 10 buildings will be more than 200 million. In short, I will give a very good price for now, and at the same time, we will impress the Hong Kong government with the plan, and see if we can win it! ”

Last year, the commercial land in Central was worth 2,000~2,500 Hong Kong dollars per square foot, but now it has fallen to 800~1,000 Hong Kong dollars, which can be described as a plummet; The Navy Yardyard is located in the Admiralty area of Central, which should be similar to Des Voeux Road Central, but may be slightly inferior.

Lin Zhichao is ready to offer a sky-high price of 160 million Hong Kong dollars!

What he wants is that the Hong Kong government has no reason to cancel the bidding, and 160 million Hong Kong dollars is a treasure for him!

If the bidding for this land is cancelled, it is likely that the bidding will start in sections and time-sharing in the early 70s; At that time, a pair of land plots will be about 100 million, and the total value will be more than 1 billion (not auctioned in the same period).

At this point in the meeting, Lin Zhichao's executives also knew that the boss cared about this piece of land, so they began to make suggestions.

Three cores are important:

First, the price should be high, otherwise the purpose of revitalizing real estate will not be achieved;

second, it is not possible to bid alone, but to have European, American and Japanese real estate buyers to participate;

Third, the plan should be creative and landmarked, so that the Hong Kong government is happy to see it. Referring to the blue chimney bought by Zheng Yutong in his previous life, the original area was only more than 200,000 square feet, and the Hong Kong government sold him more than 200,000 square feet cheaply in order to build a first-class landmark building in the coastal area.

In the following twenty days, Lin Zhichao began to be busy with this matter.

Regarding the matter of looking for European, American and Japanese real estate developers to accompany the bid, Lin Zhichao went to find it in person, he did not come directly to the door, but found cooperative banks or friends in Japan, the United States, and the United Kingdom, and finalized and paid the funds through intermediaries.

For example, in Japan, he was looking for a person in charge of the Industrial Bank of Japan, and asked him to invite real estate developers to sit down with Lin Zhichao as an intermediary; As long as you come to participate, you will give a participation fee of 3 million Hong Kong dollars, as for the price he arbitrarily, Lin Zhichao only gives a reference price of 5000 ~ 70 million Hong Kong dollars, and will not win the bid.

In other words, Lin Zhichao is not worried that someone will dare to make more than 100 million Hong Kong dollars to compete with him.

At the same time, Lin Zhichao does not need to worry about breaking the law at all, because this is not illegal in itself.

He just invited them to bid and didn't break the law at all.

When I heard that I could get a benefit fee of HK$3 million, I quickly contacted three overseas real estate developers, and they were all willing to set up a working group and make a tender to participate. The reason for the establishment of the working group is also to worry about falling into the trap (fear of winning the bid) and to make the bid a little more seriously.

Thursday, June 3.

Lin Zhichao deliberately rushed back to Hong Kong in advance to participate in the preparation for the establishment of the first industry conference of the Hong Kong Real Estate Association.

The venue of the meeting was in an office building in the Global Building, which Lin Zhichao deliberately set aside as a 'preparatory office'; in fact, Lixin Real Estate, which is a member of the airship, also has an office in this building, because he does not have an office building in Central.

Sir Lam

Sir Lam

As soon as Lin Zhichao appeared, he immediately greeted everyone, and he was definitely the most heavyweight.

When the Hong Kong Real Estate Association was preparing, it was very rare to find a few knights as honorary presidents; But because of the participation of Sir Lin Zhichao, the Sir of the Natural Honorary President is nothing.

Is Hong Kong's jazz as young as he is?

At the meeting, Lin Zhichao said humorously: "He Sheng, how are the preparations?" It seems that everyone is very enthusiastic to participate, which is different from what I imagined, after all, calling for a meeting is no less than 'Chen Zongshou Family Meeting'! ”

'Chen Zongshou Family Association' is to invite members surnamed Chen to open a clan association, but there are so many members surnamed Chen, so it is very difficult to get it!

And calling for a meeting of real estate bigwigs, according to reason, everyone may not be willing to come.

So, what Lin Zhichao means - these two teams are very difficult to do!

The people around laughed, this is the Sir Lin they knew, young, funny, and very helpful.

Many of Hong Kong's wealthy people have been blessed by it.

He D (God of Gamblers) is the person in charge of the preparatory committee, and he also responded with some humor: "Although it is difficult for the big guys to get it, with Sir Lin taking the lead, how can everyone not compete to participate." Up to now, more than 300 businesses and individuals have applied to join the Hong Kong Real Estate Association, and well-known real estate developers in Hong Kong have participated! ”

Lin Zhichao waved his hand and said: "What do I lead, you don't have to talk nonsense, it is Huo Sheng who takes the lead, give me the credit, Huo Sheng is afraid that he will take away the shares of your cooperative cause!" ”

Airship Tai said with a smile: "Sir Lin said that you are joking, you prepare an office building for the Chamber of Commerce as a preparatory office, that is to take the lead!" Well, I'm just proposing. ”

How dare he compete with Lin Zhichao?

In terms of real estate strength, he is not half as good as Lin Zhichao;

In terms of the influence of real estate, innovations such as stratification, staging, and public housing deeds are all from Lin Zhichao's hands;

In terms of Hong Kong's status, Lin Zhichao is a Chinese leader in Hong Kong, and the famous Sir Lam.

Therefore, as long as Lin Zhichao does not push, it is almost impossible for him to take his turn.

Otherwise, how can we convince the public?

Lin Zhichao stopped talking, originally he wanted to push back, but now that there is an agreement with Dai Lintoe, he will definitely be elected.

Subsequently, Lin Zhichao chatted with everyone enthusiastically!

This scene naturally also reveals a meaning, that is, he attaches great importance to this chamber of commerce.

Today, we are not electing the 'chairman of the chamber of commerce', but 25 'directors', and five days later, the chairman, vice chairman, and executive director of the chamber of commerce will be formally elected.

The first "Hong Kong Real Estate Association" was held in mid-July, and it was held in the Hong Kong City Hall.

Soon, the meeting officially began.

Nearly 100 people attended, including representatives of banks and tycoons, including Hong Kong property developers, including Ho Sin Heng, Ho Tim, Lee Wing-sum, Qiu Degen, Leung Cheong, Leung Kau-ju, Chan Tak-tai, Chan Pet-chan, Liu Lie-man, Kwan Kai-ming, etc.

He D is the person in charge of the preparatory committee, so naturally he will preside over the meeting.

After a few speeches, the election of 25 directors officially began.

This step is not difficult, that is, to select influential real estate developers, the result is: Lin Zhichao, Blimp Tai, Qu Wuqi, He Hongsheng, Hu Hanhui, Hu Yingxiang, Li Gaofu, Zheng Yizhi, Cao Shaosong, Yang Zhiyun, Li Kangjie, Wang Kuancheng, Fang Runhua, Zhong Minghui, Ouyang Sen, Xiang Zhiqiu, Li Shauji, Chen Zefu, Guo Desheng, Xu Dasan, Gui Huashan, Zhan Zhaolin, Sun Bingshu, Lu Gaohua, Chen Zengxi, these 25 people were elected.

Lin Zhichao is basically familiar with these 25 people, and many of them are friends, such as Airship Tai, Hu Hanhui, Li Gaofu, Fang Runhua, Li Shauji, Guo Desheng, Zhan Zhaolin, etc., all of whom are relatively good friends.

Next, the Chamber of Commerce also hired 32 Hong Kong tycoons such as He Shanheng, He Tian, Li Rongsen, Qiu Degen, Liang Chang, Liang Qiuju, Chen Detai, Chen Bichen, Liao Liewen, and Guan Qiming as honorary consultants.

After a meeting, the Hong Kong Real Estate Association has basically taken shape.

After the meeting, everyone got together to chat, and the industry naturally chatted about real estate.

Fang Runhua mentioned: "The recent bidding for the Navy Dockyard is a major event in real estate, and Sir Lin must have won the bid!" ”

Lin Zhi said generously: "I'm ready to enter the bid!" After all, such a big piece of good land, even if I don't have the strength to develop it now, it's cost-effective to cover it! ”

Li Gaofu said in surprise: "Such a large piece of land, even if the real estate falls sharply now, I am afraid that the bid price will be expensive!" It seems that Hong Kong can compete with European, American and Japanese real estate developers and land, I am afraid that there are not many Chinese-funded real estate companies in Hong Kong, and Sir Lin is definitely the first! By the way, who else is ready to enter the bid? ”

To be honest, Lin Zhichao was very curious about whether Airship Tai had won the bid, but he didn't answer.

So Lin Zhichao guessed that he probably didn't have the strength to enter the bid, the reason is very simple, Lin Zhichao snatched him a lot of opportunities - the first sales project, Xiyun Street, Sifang Public Street and other projects, his real estate strength is about 30% weaker than in his previous life. Small turf does not necessarily affect, large chassis must affect financial luck, because large chassis is rare.

Fang Runhua started his head and naturally wanted to finish: "There is really only Sir Lin who intends to enter the bid, and he deserves to be the leader of the real estate industry in Hong Kong!" ”

Lin Zhichao waved his hand and said, "Not necessarily!" You may still be thinking about it! After a change of words, he added: "The establishment of the Hong Kong Real Estate Association is actually that everyone is optimistic about the development of Hong Kong's real estate and long-term development, so everyone can actively participate!" ”

Someone said with a smile: "6 million deposits, it's not expensive, everyone is not very willing to do it!" ”

Everyone laughed, and for a while, many directors were vaguely centered on Lin Zhichao.

After chatting for a while, everyone went back to the company.

On the other side, Airship Tai and He D walked together.

"Huo Sheng, I am personally optimistic about you as the president, and there are many people who hold this opinion!" He D said seriously.

The establishment of the Hong Kong Real Estate Association was proposed by Airship Tai and was prepared by him. It's good now, everyone vaguely has the intention of choosing Lin Zhichao as the president, isn't this making a wedding dress for others.

The relationship between Airship Thai and the Hong Kong government is not good, and there were even rumors in the fifties that the gift was sent abroad, so Airship Thai has always been very worried, and some want to use this organization to make the Hong Kong government 'dare not do it'.

"He Sheng, if I become the president, I will definitely not be able to convince the public, and everyone knows the reason. I suggested it, but I think it's a good thing, and I'll follow everyone's opinions next week. Personally, I am convinced! Don't worry, you can't run away as a vice president! ”

He D hurriedly said: "What you said is as if I am greedy for this vice president!" ”

Airship Tai smiled and said, "I'm telling the truth! ”

He D immediately said: "Then I support you to be the president, no matter how bad it is, you can compete with Lin Sheng!" ”

Airship Tai hurriedly waved his hand!

Although he hoped to get the post of president as a way to strike a balance with the Hong Kong government, he knew that there was little hope.

Just one 'knight' title is enough to qualify for the president. After all, in order to have an impact on this conference, a few knights were specially invited to be honorary presidents. Now that the Jazz Real Estate Developer is in full swing, how can he convince the public if he can't become the president?

On Lin Zhichao's side, he is quite relaxed and very confident. It is reasonable that no one can compete with him for this position, he is not the president of the Real Estate Chamber of Commerce, and I am afraid that most people are not convinced.

Even the media will not be convinced.

The reason is very simple, the president of the real estate chamber of commerce should be the leader of the real estate industry in Hong Kong, at least the first one.

At this time, Lin Zhichao was already thinking that if he was elected president, he would take the initiative to ask Dai Lintoe and his wife to have a private yacht party. Let's test whether this British governor of Hong Kong likes the green dollar.

Of course, it's just a temptation!

If Dai Lintoe likes money, then Lin Zhichao is ready, and he specially entrusted Audrey to prepare to entertain Dai Lintoe's wife in London.

The annual salary of the Hong Kong governor is 50~600,000 Hong Kong dollars, so Lin Zhichao prepared 500,000 US dollars.

The important thing is that Lin Zhichao does not ask Dai Lintoe to 'take care', but only asks Dai Lintoe to be 'fair'.

After all, the price of Cheung Kong is 160 million yuan, which is about twice that of the previous airship Thai bid; the design plan is the best business plan in the world, which can become a landmark building in Hong Kong, which is conducive to the development of Hong Kong's economy; and there are three companies to accompany the bid, which can give the Hong Kong government face.

Under the three conditions, you only need one meaning of Dai Lintoe to succeed easily.

Back in the office, Lin Zhichao banged on the table!

He's thinking about a lot of possible things to happen and then planning ahead.

In fact, if he hadn't taken this land, Lin Zhichao wouldn't have much regret.

His strength is so strong, I'm afraid that there will be no more opportunities in the future!

So, he can't take it too seriously, so as not to be disappointed in the end!
