The Most Powerful Tycoon Reborn In Xiangjiang Chapter 257

  Chapter 257 something big happened (7K big chapter, please subscribe~)

   At this time, Changshi in Lijiacheng has not purchased the Chinese bank, and Changshi's headquarters is naturally not in the Chinese bank.

  In his own office in the current Changshi Building, Li Jiacheng is processing the documents in his hand.

  Everyone knows that the later richest man in Xiangjiang made his fortune with plastic flowers, but in fact, in 1958, Li Jiacheng had already set foot in the real estate industry with the benefits obtained from plastic flowers.

   At that time, Li Jiacheng used the one million he earned from the plastic flower business to build a 12-story industrial building in the north corner of Xiangjiang. As a result, the building had not yet been capped, and the tenants had already come to ask for rent!

   Then in 60 years, Li Jiacheng once again asked for directions and built a second industrial building in Chai Wan. Like the last time, before the roof was capped, the tenants came to ask for rent again!

  However, these two buildings are experimental. At that time, the main business of Lijiacheng was still plastic.

  Mr. Li knows that funds are hard to come by, so he dare not make a big move. He builds houses mainly with his own funds, and borrows from the bank for the insufficient part.

  At that time, real estate developers followed Huo Tsar's example and sold uncompleted properties. Li knew that this was a shortcut to big business, but he thought it was still risky.

  At that time, there were also a group of professional "margin brokers" who relied on bank mortgages to speculate on uncompleted properties. Li believed that such behavior was too risky-this was not the right way to do business.

  At that time, Li Jiacheng's style of work seemed a bit too conservative at this time, so in the first few years of his career, he did not make much progress in the real estate industry.

  The real estate industry is booming, and real estate developers and bankers join hands to push the increasingly prosperous real estate industry to madness.

As a result, the bank run wave in early 1965 caused many banks to close down, be merged, or survive. The domino effect affected all industries in Hong Kong. The real estate industry, which was "favored" by the banks, was the first to suffer, and fell into the first serious crisis after the war. .

   At this time, Li Jiacheng's advantages were revealed. He did not rely too much on the bank, so the damage was minimal.

  At that time, Li Jiacheng said: "Seek development while maintaining stability, and never forget stability while developing. I take this as my purpose."

  In 1967, under the influence of a certain unspeakable event in his hometown, Xiangjiang resisted the British and resisted the violence, which later turned into violence.

  Heung Kong real estate has a price but no market, and many extremely cheap properties are not even interested in.

  Those with foresight will take advantage of the low land property. The real estate developers who will become big in the future will all "take advantage of this god-given opportunity", and Lijiacheng is naturally one of them.

  In 1968, the situation stabilized, real estate recovered, and later developed at an extraordinary speed.

  The "bargains" in the hands of Li Jiacheng suddenly became worth a hundred times, rising day by day. In the early 1970s, real estate formed another climax.

  Lee's has begun to take shape. In 1958, it had a building area of ​​120,000 square feet, reaching 350,000 square feet in 1968.

  In 1971, Li Jiacheng established Changjiang Real Estate Co., Ltd., which meant that the Li family would fade out of the plastic industry and specialize in real estate.

  In 1972, the stock market was bullish, and Cheung Kong (Group) Co., Ltd. rode a bull to go public. The authorized share capital is 200 million Hong Kong dollars, the paid-in capital is 84 million Hong Kong dollars, divided into 42 million shares, each share has a par value of 2 Hong Kong dollars, and a premium of 1 Hong Kong dollar. Within 25 hours of listing, the stock more than doubled.

With his keen eyesight, Li Jiacheng had already seen the crisis in the Hong Kong stock market before the stock market crash, so during that time, Changshi sold new shares frantically. But Cheung Kong itself has a huge amount of cash.

  Li Jiacheng used the funds to buy back the shares of Changshi and increase his controlling stake. On the other hand, he also set his sights on the now cheap land.

   At this time, Li Jiacheng's eyes are on the Chinatown in Central!

  Chinese House is located in Queen's Road Central, built in 1924, and now belongs to Li Guanchun, the Chinese real estate owner of the Feng Pingshan family.

  Li Jiacheng understands that if he wants to make Changshi the top real estate company in Xiangjiang, then he must let the citizens of Xiangjiang know and be familiar with Changshi!

  The Chinese line is the best choice.

  In addition, at this time, Li Jiacheng not only set his sights on the acquisition of the Central Chinese Bank with a long history in Xiangjiang, but also Li Jiacheng was actively negotiating with the Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce.

  Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce wants to enter the Xiangjiang market, and Lijiacheng now needs the support of the bank for its development. It can be said that both parties get what they need, but the negotiation process must be very long.

   But Li Jiacheng doesn't care about this time, as long as he can get the support of the Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce, this is already a very successful thing for Li Jiacheng.

   While Li Jiacheng was thinking about this matter, his secretary knocked on the door and walked in, holding a copy of today's "Zhenbao" evening paper in his hand!

  As the sales of "Zhenbao" morning papers in Xiangjiang gradually increase, Gu Chengxi has set his sights on the distribution of evening papers!

   "Oh, today's newspaper is here!" Li Jiacheng saw the newspaper in the secretary's hand, took off his glasses, and smiled as usual.

  But at this time, Li Jiacheng's secretary couldn't laugh anymore, and excitedly said to Li Jiacheng: "Chairman, something big happened!"

Li Jiacheng was stunned for a moment. His secretary knew that even if he was delegated to other small companies, he could become a high-level existence. Now he looked excited, which made Li Jiacheng a little suspicious. What happened? Things can make the other party so shocked.

   "What is it?" Li Jiacheng asked in a deep voice.

Like Li Jiacheng, Zheng Yutong, another big crocodile among Xiangjiang real estate developers, is called Sha Dantong by Hong Kong people at this time, and his New World Center has not yet been completed, so now the headquarters of New World Real Estate is located in Bohe, Causeway Bay. Heung Kong Mansion located in the Golden Triangle of Street, Paterson Street and George Street.

  This building was originally a New World Real Estate project.

   It is also because of the incident in 1968, when Xiangjiang people sold real estate crazily, but bought gold and jewelry crazily.

   This made Zheng Yutong, who was running Chow Tai Fook at that time, a fortune, and then Zheng Yutong made the same choice as Li Jiacheng, taking advantage of the cold winter of Xiangjiang Real Estate to purchase a large amount of high-quality land.

   It is precisely because of his behavior that Hong Kong people call him "Shark Dantong".

   It can be seen from this that whether it is Sha Dantong or Li Jiacheng, the two have similar development starting points in the real estate industry. The only difference may be that Sha Dantong's father-in-law is richer than Li Jiacheng's father-in-law!

  Both of them were able to make a fortune, and it was because they found a wife who was richer than themselves

  At this time, Sha Dantong, like Li Jiacheng, also shifted his focus from the jewelry industry to the real estate industry.

  In 1970, Zheng Yutong bought the former site of "Blue Chimney" in Tsim Sha Tsui, Kowloon from Swire Pacific at an astonishingly high price of 137 million Hong Kong dollars.

  Blue Chimney is a steamship company in Taizhan, and the site is just a dilapidated wharf and factory buildings.

  Zheng has successively established New World Center, Regent Store, New World Hotel, tens of thousands of square feet of large shopping centers, and thousands of commercial units on this site.

   At this time, there are still many construction sites here.

   When it was 1985, Zheng Yutong announced even more excitedly: the average occupancy rate of New World Hotel reached 94%, with a turnover of 147 million Hong Kong dollars; the occupancy rate of Regent Hotel was 90%, with a turnover of 347 million.

  In addition, the annual rental income of commercial units exceeds HK$100 million.

  Aside from these things, the value of this land alone has increased by more than 10 times in 10 years!

  In the same year when he bought the Blue Chimney site, Zheng Yutong invited friends He Shanheng, He Tian, ​​Guo Desheng, Yang Zhiyun and others to form a joint stock New World Development Co., Ltd.

   Zheng is the chairman of the board of directors.

  In 1972, the stock market was in the best bull market since the opening of the port. Zheng's "borrowed bull" to go public and raised 160 million Hong Kong dollars.

  At this time, most of New World's real estate projects are commercial building rental projects. As a result, even if the Hong Kong stock market crash hits and New World's stock price suffers, New World itself has no major problems.

  Like Li Jiacheng, Zheng Yutong is also a workaholic at this time. Even when it was time to get off work, he still did not leave the company.

  Back in 1968, when the land price in Xiangjiang was broken, Zheng Yutong bought it at the bottom and made a huge profit. Now Zheng Yutong also does not want to let go of this opportunity.

  During the break, Zheng Yutong poured himself a cup of coffee, thinking about the current situation in Xiangjiang.

  At this time, he was a little envious of his old friend Guo Desheng.

   If you want to say that in this stock market crash, whoever benefited the entire Xiangjiang business community can be seen at a glance, and even envied, it is Chu Huan.

   With less than 100 million in cash, Jiahu Textile with an asset value of 700 million was obtained. This kind of acquisition like a snake swallowing a whale, no businessman would not envy.

However, there was no intersection between him and Chu Huan, so he forgot about it after envying him. The real reason why Zheng Yutong envied Guo Desheng was that Zheng Yutong had already learned from Guo Desheng that Chu Huan had already sold the property at the price of his current assets. Huhua Real Estate sold 5% of the shares to Guo Desheng.

  Huhua Real Estate currently does not have many lands, but it depends on who owns the company.

  Zheng Yutong has analyzed Chu Huan's situation, Jiahu Textile's factory site in Tsuen Wan, Jiahu Building in Central, and Shanhai Cinemas theaters in various areas of Xiangjiang.

   These lands may be converted into real estate projects by Chu Huan in the future. If calculated in this way, the land reserves held by Chu Huan are already comparable to those listed real estate companies.

  As long as these lands are developed in the future, the valuation of Huhua Real Estate will definitely double.

   As one of the shareholders of Huhua Real Estate, Guo Desheng's income naturally needless to say, and Guo Desheng can even take advantage of this relationship to involve Sun Hung Kai Properties in these land development projects.

   It's enviable to think about it!

   "Maybe it's time to meet this Xiangjiang rising star!"

   Zheng Yutong couldn't help preaching.

   Just when Zheng Yutong had such thoughts, his secretary, like Li Jiacheng's secretary, walked into Zheng Yutong's office with a shocked expression on his face, also holding a copy of the "Zhenbao" evening paper in his hand!

   "Boss, something big happened!"

   "It's really a big deal!"

  Located in the "True News" headquarters, in Gu Chengxi's office, Gu Chengxi, who already knew the truth of the matter, still couldn't believe that this matter was reported by his own "True News"!

  In Gu Chengxi's hand, he was holding a copy of the "True Pao" evening paper that was just published today!

  The headline on the front page reads impressively.

  "Since Xiangjiang was opened as a port, Chinatown, the largest real estate project of the Chinese consortium, has been officially established!

According to the exact news obtained by this newspaper, Tianhai Real Estate, jointly established by Xiangjiang Huhua Real Estate Company and Xiangjiang Sun Hung Kai Real Estate Company, has reached a cooperation intention with the Hong Kong government and will participate in the project of reclamation of new towns and mountains. Tianhai Real Estate will invest 2000 million Hong Kong dollars to purchase 8 million square feet of land for land reclamation and mountain removal in Sha Tin New Town. The project will officially start in August this year and is expected to be completed in February next year.

After the completion, Tianhai Real Estate will return 4 million square feet of land to the Hong Kong government for the construction of public housing and infrastructure, and the other 4 million square feet will be purchased by "Fantasy Comics", of which 1 million square feet will be used to build two buildings that can accommodate 10,000 people each. The large factory for workers, and another 3 million square feet, will be independently developed and constructed by Tianhai Real Estate.

   It is reported that Chinatown has invested a total of 1 billion Hong Kong dollars. The whole plan includes 70 residential buildings with a total of 15,000 residential units, which can accommodate about 68,000 people.

In order to coordinate with the overall development, Chinatown will refer to the early large-scale housing estates such as Mei Foo New Village, etc., and build 4 independent multi-purpose shopping centers in the heart of the city, namely the 6-storey First City Center and Fuye Shopping Mall, Jia'an Mall, Gongle Mall.

  At the same time, banks, restaurants, grocery stores, butchers, bakeries, pharmacies, clinics, tailors, laundromats, etc. will be introduced into the city to supply the daily needs of residents.

  In addition, there are 7 kindergartens, 3 private middle schools and 4 primary and secondary schools in the estate, as well as various entertainment facilities such as theaters and bowling alleys.

  The entire plan will be divided into five phases and ten phases, and it is expected to start construction in May next year and be officially completed in 1979.”

   This is the headline on the front page of today's "Zhenbao" Evening News!

   At noon, Gu Chengxi received a call from Chu Huan and learned of this incident. At that time, Gu Chengxi fell into huge self-doubt.

   This kind of thing that can shake the whole Xiangjiang trembling was actually led by Chu Huan.

  The most important thing is that before this, there was no news about this matter!

  She doesn't know how Chu Huan completed this project, but she knows Chu Huan's net worth!

  Before, "True Pao" published an exclusive interview with Chu Huan, in which Gu Chengxi also calculated Chu Huan's net worth!

   A net worth of more than nine billion yuan!

   Now Chu Huan actually presided over the development of a super city within a city project with a billion project?

  How could such a situation not surprise Gu Chengxi!

  At this time, she really wanted to find Chu Huan in person, and ask him face to face, how did she manage such a large project!

   Obviously, Gu Chengxi also understands that Chu Huan definitely has no time to talk to him at this time!

   "You don't know what kind of sensation this report will cause in Xiangjiang once it is released?"

  Gu Chengxi looked at the "True Pao" in his hand and didn't know what to say for a while.

   Sensation!

   Naturally, it caused a huge sensation!

  Hang Lung Properties, inside Chen Zengxi's office!

  Chen Zengxi held the "True Pao" snatched from the secretary's hand, and stood there, looking at the content one by one.

  Chen Qizong stood behind Chen Zengxi. At this time, Chen Qizong clenched his hands tightly, his veins were protruding, his eyes were wide open, and his anger seemed to be able to spurt out of them at any time.

  Just now, his father told him that Chu Huan's weakness lies in Huhua Real Estate.

   As a result, Chu Huan turned around and shot a king bomb.

   Chen Zengxi slumped down on his chair after reading this report.

   Panting heavily, unable to speak for a long time.

   "Chu Huan is looking for death!"

  Chen Qizong suddenly found a reason for himself, and then said angrily.

  Chen Zengxi didn't answer him, and didn't even look up at Chen Qizong.

  Chen Qizong didn't notice his father's situation. What he just said seemed to give him a huge psychological hint.

"This Chu Huan has come up with such a big project all of a sudden, how could his Huhua Real Estate have the ability, and this is a billion Hong Kong dollar project, a super city within a city that can accommodate tens of thousands of people, what will happen then? There may be so many people in charge!"

  “The reason why Mei Foo New Village can succeed is because of their geographical location. Now the new town is obviously a newly developed area. Who would buy a house there when they have nothing to do?

   At that time, Chu Huan will definitely lose the bottom line! "

  Actually, Chen Zengxi just told him that if he wants to deal with Chu Huan, he must make Chu Huan invest more funds in real estate projects, and now this project has appeared!

   "You're a fool!" Chen Zengxi finally couldn't help scolding his son aloud. At this time, he was completely opposite to himself just now!

   "Can you take your jealousy of Chu Huan away from your mind, and think about this question normally, are your eyes only on that super city within the city?

   Didn't you see that there is still news about the factory with 20,000 people in the newspaper?

The workers in those two factories will be the absolute main buyers of houses in Chu Huan's Chinatown in the future. By then, the various shops in Chinatown will be the places where their family members work, and this Chinatown will become the place Chu Huan walks into. A stepping stone for Hong Kong's top personalities! "

Speaking of this, Chen Zengxi changed his previous analysis of Chu Huan, and said seriously and solemnly: "From now on, remember that from now on you are not allowed to walk with that trash Michael Keswick again, and do anything That kind of indiscriminate behavior, all behaviors, only allow competition in the commercial field, understand!"

  Chen Qizong looked at his father in disbelief. He didn't expect Chen Zengxi's attitude to change so quickly.

   "Daddy, even if Chu Huan manages this Zhonghua City, we won't have to worry about him!"

  He still couldn't let go of his jealousy towards Chu Huan!

   But Chen Zengxi was too lazy to tell him these things at this time, but said something to Chen Qizong that Chen Qizong couldn't accept.

   "Don't go anywhere tonight, wait for my notice, we must find Chu Huan earlier and seek cooperation with him!"

   As I said before, the stock price of Chen Zengxi's Hang Lung Real Estate has fallen sharply, and the company's funds have been unable to return for a long time. Now, following the media reports, the news of Chu Huan's super Chinatown has been made public.

   It will definitely cause a sensation in Xiangjiang immediately. Guo Desheng of Sun Hung Kai Properties has seen the wealth hidden in it, and knows that it will increase the stock price of his company.

   And Chen Zengxi can also see it.

  At this time, seeing those real estate companies listed in the same year as himself, using the cash from selling new shares during the bull market, to buy land in various districts of Xiangjiang, Chen Zengxi's envious eyes almost turned green.

   But what makes people scratch their heads is that at this time, Hang Lung Properties really has no funds to compete with these real estate companies for land!

   At this time, Chu Huan, who Chen Zengxi wanted to help his son deal with, suddenly announced such a big news, which made Chen Zengxi see hope.

  If Hang Lung Properties can join this plan at this time, it will definitely be a heavy stimulus for the current share price of Hang Lung Properties.

   In this case, Chen Zengxi can turn over part of the funds to compete for land with the real estate company in Xiangjiang!

so!

  Chu Huan's big ship, he must go aboard!

   Not only Chen Zengxi had this idea, but Li Jiacheng, who had just read the newspaper, also had this idea.

   "Is this Chu Huan really only 20 years old?"

   Li Jiacheng asked in an inconceivable tone, clutching the "Zhenbao" in his hand.

  How much is Changshi's assets worth now? It's only five or six million Hong Kong dollars, right?

   This has already made Li Jiacheng very satisfied, but when he saw the news about China City in the newspaper, he realized that people in this world are really different.

  What were you doing when you were 20 years old?

  Li Jiacheng thought of it. When he was 20 years old, he had just been promoted to the general manager of the plastic flower factory.

  He doesn't even have his own property yet!

   And now, 20-year-old Chu Huan has begun to lead a super project of 1 billion Hong Kong dollars!

   Such exclamation, Li Jiacheng did not last too long, but called Guo Desheng immediately.

  He thinks the same as Chen Zengxi, no matter what, he must find a way to join this plan.

  But he and Chu Huan have no friendship at all, they just met at a banquet, so he needs to find a middleman, and this middleman is his senior in the real estate industry, Guo Desheng!

  But when Li Jiacheng dialed Guo Desheng's phone, only the voice of the line was busy. Li Jiacheng put down the phone and walked back and forth in his office.

   Less than a minute later, Li Jiacheng called Guo Desheng's office again, but the result was still busy!

  After repeating this several times, Li Jiacheng failed to find Guo Desheng after all.

  Looking at Li Jiacheng's behavior, Li Jiacheng's secretary sighed silently in his heart. He had been with Li Jiacheng for so many years, and this was the first time he saw Li Jiacheng so excited!

   "Don't wait, prepare your car and go to Jiahu Textile immediately!"

  Li Jiacheng suddenly decided that he couldn't wait any longer. At this time, there must be countless Xiangjiang real estate companies wanting to find Chu Huan or Guo Desheng.

  Where the project is placed, it is impossible for everyone to participate in it. I have to race against time!

  Since Guo Desheng was unable to find the middleman, he had no choice but to find Chu Huan in person!

  The secretary didn't dare to delay, and hurried to prepare the car.

  The person who talked with Guo Desheng on the phone was actually Zheng Yutong from New World!

  The two have been friends for many years. Even the establishment of New World has Sun Hung Kai's personal shares, which shows the friendship between the two.

   Anyone with a discerning eye can see the huge benefits brought by this plan, and Zheng Yutong is naturally not immune.

  So after reading the contents of the newspaper, Zheng Yutong called Guo Desheng immediately, a few seconds faster than Li Jiacheng.

   "Brother, you really scare people to death when you make a move, and you actually teamed up with Chu Huan to make such a big news!"

  Guo Desheng was very happy at this time, he laughed and said: "Actually, I didn't think of this plan. It was Bingxiang who helped Chu Huan think of it. Our Sun Hung Kai just got on this ride by the way!"

  Zheng Yutong sighed: "This is not a ride with the wind, it's a plane with the wind!"

Guo Desheng said: "Brother Zheng, I know what you are calling at this time, but for this project, our Sun Hung Kai is just eating the bonus brought by the good relationship with A Huan before. If you want To join this project, A Huan still needs to make a decision!"

   Zheng Yutong said: "Since my brother already knows, then I won't go around in circles. As long as my brother can help me make an appointment with Chu Huan alone tonight, I will handle the rest by myself!"

For this kind of request, Guo Desheng naturally did not refuse, and said: "There is no problem, I will call A Huan in a while, but you should understand that if you New World also want to join this plan, you must pay for it." Some price!"

  Zheng Yutong immediately said: "As long as you can participate, you can ask Chu Huan for any conditions!"

  Guo Desheng was not surprised by Zheng Yutong's decision. If he changed himself, he would definitely have the same attitude.

Out of the friendship between the two, Guo Desheng still reminded Zheng Yutong: "I talked with A Huan before, he is still very optimistic about the development of the new world, this time I think if you want him to agree, his One of the requirements will definitely be to become a shareholder of New World!"

  Zheng Yutong laughed and said: "If this is the case, it will be even better. From now on, we will be a family, and I have no objections!"

   After receiving this answer from Zheng Yutong, the two of them discussed the matter of Chinatown again before Guo Desheng hung up the phone.

  Looking at Guo Bingxiang who was sitting opposite him, he said, "Call A Huan, and tell us that Zheng Yutong has already called us!"

  Chu Huan and Guo Desheng had discussed the plan of China City before it was made public. This matter could cause the major real estate companies in Xiangjiang to flock to it, and the two also discussed some possibilities with these real estate companies.

   That's what Chu Huan said, if Zheng Yutong from New World contacts Guo Desheng, he can ask Guo Desheng to call him!

  Guo Bingxiang naturally knew about the discussion between Chu Huan and Guo Desheng. Hearing what Guo Desheng said, he immediately said that he would call Chu Huan now!

  At this time, Chu Huan was not in Jiahu Mansion, but in a villa in Repulse Bay, so if Li Jiacheng went to Jiahu Mansion to block Chu Huan, he would be out of luck.

  After answering Guo Bingxiang's call, Chu Huan said that he could meet Zheng Yutong tonight!

   Not today, thank you everyone~ The next chapter will be at twelve o'clock tomorrow morning~
