Chapter 259: Accident

A Rolls-Royce, each with a Tiger Head in the front and back, and three cars came outside the auction site.

The bodyguard got out of the car and opened the door, He Yuzhu and Lou Xiao'e got out of the car, and then walked into the auction hall side by side.

He Yuzhu came this time to see it, and he will also provide funds when necessary, after all, 100 million US dollars is only more than 700 million Hong Kong dollars, and it also needs funds from Baiwei Group.

Just participating in the auction, the land price will not be low, such as the Bank of China Building on Hong Kong Island, which was originally purchased at 1.1 billion Hong Kong dollars, and the construction cost was within 1 billion.

However, it is a 70-storey building, and He Yuzhu will definitely not build it so high, but the Bank of China Building is a product of the 90s, and now it is 2002, and its value must not be low.

After Lou Xiao'e entered the venue, she greeted some people, introduced He Yuzhu, and also introduced the people who came to participate and the company behind him.

For example, Yangtze River, Sun Hung Kai, Henderson, etc., are all top real estate groups.

He Yuzhu also knows that these people are all wealthy families on Hong Kong Island, but most of the real business is real estate.

He Yuzhu doesn't look down on them, and when he has money, he doesn't develop some industries, but some profiteering industries, and he doesn't know how to give back to the society.

After the two sat down, they discussed the land they were interested in, which was located in Wan Chai District.

I am not in the financial industry, there is no need to go to Central and West Ring to make up, and Wan Chai District is also good.

And I don't use much, mainly rent, in Hong Kong Island do not worry about tenants, every day there are companies born or bankrupt, this is a very common phenomenon on Hong Kong Island.

Coming and going, those towering edifices have always existed.

In addition, the specific number of floors of the building, this is also the focus of discussion between the two, there is no shortage of money, but He Yuzhu is not willing to build too high, on the one hand, it is a matter of price, and on the other hand, it is a matter of time.

If you think about the long term, then there is also the question of future reconstruction, the higher the building, the higher the cost of future reconstruction.

In the middle of the city, demolition alone is a huge problem!

But it can't be like the headquarters in the mainland, a 22-storey ground building, because that needs to be low-key.

Lou Xiao'e wants to build more than 40 floors, and He Yuzhu thinks that it should be controlled below 40 floors, but in the end, it still depends on the designer's ability.

There is also the issue of parking, which will also be a hassle in the future on Hong Kong Island, so they also need to take this into account.

The auction began soon, starting with the least valuable land, and He Yuzhu also observed it to see what was different from the auction on Hong Kong Island and what strategies were there.

He watched it with relish, while Lou Xiao'e calculated the possible competitors, she knew a lot about the group companies on Hong Kong Island, which companies were involved in the competition for that piece of land, and which companies had not yet made a move.

These real estate companies, it is generally true that they only buy a piece of land, not that they don't want to buy too much, but one company participates in the competition of multiple plots of land, which is easy to cause other companies to besiege.

When the time comes to raise the price with you, the cost of money is not low, and after the purchase of land, it still needs to be developed, which also requires funds.

The development of these large companies is planned, and each project needs to be stretched out so that it is good to return funds.

finally arrived at the land in Wan Chai, and the starting price was 860 million Hong Kong dollars, yes, the price increase must not be less than 10 million, and Lou Xiao'e directly asked for the price.

The two discussed it before, and the first bid directly indicated the purpose of Baiwei Group, they are not a real estate company, so there is not much competition for interests with those real estate companies.

In this way, under normal circumstances, there will be no group companies and they will be dead.

Before the auction began, Lou Xiao'e had already communicated with some people, indicating that Baiwei Group was going to build the headquarters of the Hong Kong Island branch.

A lot of things are decided before the auction, so everyone knows that it is rare for everyone to really fight to the death.

However, it is not generally possible for people to compete for it.

Sure enough, others began to increase the price, but Lou Xiao'e did not bid again, but waited.

When the price went all the way to 950 million, she directly increased the price to 1 billion.

This land covers an area of 12,000 square meters, but it is nearly 4,000 square meters larger than the Bank of China Tower, but the location is very different, but the time is also more than ten years apart.

It is expected to cost about 1.5 billion, and 1 billion is definitely not the end, but Lou Xiao'e directly raised the price by 50 million, which also made others hesitate for a moment.

Later, someone made another bid, increasing the price by 10 million, and Lou Xiao'e asked the price again, and directly called 1.1 billion.

Such a ferocious price increase decisively made some people give up, and they don't have too strong strength, so it's easy to be unlucky.

Baiwei Group is not famous on Hong Kong Island, after all, it is only a branch, but the Lou family is well-known on Hong Kong Island, but these people are exquisite people who do business, and some people will know about it.

At the same time, they also invested in the mainland, and the Baiwei Group in the mainland can be said to be a household name, starting from a restaurant in Sijiu City, and developing into a large group in a short period of time.

Its subsidiary, Sichuan Flavor Hot Pot, has opened all over the country, and Master He Food is a well-known brand, and has set up a grassland dairy industry, set up a lot of factories on the grassland, and signed a large number of procurement contracts with herdsmen.

These things are not secrets, they are very famous in the mainland, not because the Baiwei Group is powerful, but because the Baiwei Group is rich.

It is unimaginable to set up a warehousing and logistics company, directly lay the whole country at the same time, and suddenly rise up a large company, how much money does this group have?

The auctioneer was a little anxious, because the price was lower than expected, and there was a cold scene on the scene, and he shouted loudly, but he still needed to count down.

After all, all the people present were celebrities, and it was impossible for him to waste time for the sake of the price.

It was an accident, it was expected to be 1.5 billion, but 1.1 billion was taken down and when the wooden hammer fell, He Yuzhu was also slightly surprised.

Lou Xiao'e whispered: "Today they are giving face, I guess it's up to you." ”

"Not necessarily, they can't figure out the details of us, right?" He Yuzhu didn't agree with it that way, "Don't just put favors on you, I guess they can't be sure of the strength of Baiwei Group." ”

"After all, our scale in the mainland is huge, and to be honest, their assets are not as good as you and mine."

Lou Xiao'e smiled, it's true, don't look at her only 30% of the shares, but there are 5% management dividends every year.
