MTL - The Most Powerful Tycoon Reborn In Xiangjiang-v2 Chapter 792 The peak of Xiangjiang real estate industry (7K large

   The two male and female groups under Youyu Records debuted on Christmas Eve in 1980.

  That night, TVB Music Station played the Xiangjiang Music Concert as scheduled. The male group F·S·C appeared as the opening performer, and the female group H·S·D performed at the halftime.

  The two groups, which are completely different from the current situation of Xiangjiang artists, performed on stage in a way that Xiangjiang singers have never had before—the way of singing and dancing with all their strength, which aroused great repercussions.

  That night, people who watched the show gave polarizing comments.

  The older people were a little uncomfortable with this kind of performance, and some people even called to complain, saying that their performance was not singing at all, but acting.

  Especially some teachers are very dissatisfied with the performance of the girl group H·S·D, what?

   One by one showing their long legs, where are they tempting whom?

  The old men around me, their eyes are almost on the TV!

  The younger ones are very curious about this kind of performance, and still have a little liking for it.

   Their clothes are so fashionable, and their dancing is so cool!

  The man is so handsome! The girl is so pretty!

   Such polarized comments have never appeared in the Xiangjiang music scene, but they were not the protagonists of the night, and those singers who had already become famous were the real trump cards.

   But it doesn't matter.

  The next day, all the newspapers under the Black and White Newspaper Industry began to report on these two groups, and even "True News" gave the two groups their headlines in the entertainment section.

  As a newly debuted group, naturally there is no news.

For example, they focused on Liu Dehua's report, the son of a wealthy family, now he takes on the burden of supporting his family by himself, how hard, how serious he was when he was a trainee, in dealing with others, And how humble.

   Not only that, Yuyu Records also contracted advertising spots in many prime locations in Xiangjiang, and put photos of their two groups!

  TVB released clips of their training, and at the same time interviewed some music seniors, and these music seniors also gave these two groups their compliments.

  Xu Guanjie: "This is a combination model that Xiangjiang has never had before. I am very optimistic about the future of these young people. In the future, they will lead the music scene of Xiangjiang."

  Luo Wen: "They have brought fresh blood to the Xiangjiang music scene. I believe their future is bright!"

  Xu Xiaofeng: "I really like their way of performing. This is a brand-new music similar to Japanese and European and American styles. It's really good!"

   With the praises from the seniors in the music scene, coupled with the degree of discussion on them, these two groups soon became a new force in the Hong Kong music scene.

  Their fan groups can no longer be simply called fans, but real fans. To put it simply, they may not necessarily really like the songs sung by these two groups, but these fans just like them!

  Even under the guidance of the black and white newspaper industry, liking them has become a trend in Hong Kong.

Under such a publicity campaign, the two groups became popular, and the speed of the fire was like a rocket booster plugged in. When the two groups only had one song each, their popularity was no less than that of some who had released platinum. The record's music predecessors!

   This situation also attracted the attention of Xiangjiang media, and more newspapers began to report on these two combinations.

   This also led to the fact that they appeared in front of the public more and more frequently, and the number of fans naturally increased.

   Just like that, the two groups became the hottest news in the entertainment industry during the Hong Kong New Year. Of course, these two groups became popular!

   But after all, this is only a matter of the entertainment circle. In the business circle of Xiangjiang, not many people actually pay attention to this matter. At this time, they can't imagine what kind of difference such a combination will bring to the business circle of Xiangjiang.

   It can be said that the Xiangjiang business community is very happy at this time.

  Because the current situation in Xiangjiang is very good.

  Especially the real estate industry and the financial industry, these two industries have become the pillar industries of Xiangjiang, and the development status has made countless businessmen happy.

"Last year, the small and medium-sized properties in Hong Kong have risen to more than 850 Hong Kong dollars per square foot. According to the analysis of experts, this year's housing prices are likely to exceed 1,000 Hong Kong dollars per square foot. The increase in some good locations and communities may be even greater. , Take Taikoo Shing as an example, their housing prices have exceeded the 1,000 Hong Kong dollar mark last year!"

  The annual meeting of Jiaku will be held in Xiangjiang this year. After running around the world last year, Chu Huan decided to hold this year's annual meeting of Jiaku in Xiangjiang.

   At the same time, it was also advanced. In the past, it was after the New Year. This time, after the New Year’s Day, the global conference of Jiaku has already begun.

   This is also to better prepare for the development of Jiaku in the coming year in a more timely manner.

   After all, in the next year, South Korea, Australia, Canada, Brazil, and Argentina will all be extremely important for the development of Jiaku.

  Now He Bingguang is reporting to Chu Huan the situation of Xiangjiang real estate industry.

"In addition, the rent of commercial buildings in Xiangjiang has also changed. After entering 1981, the rent of Xiangjiang commercial buildings has risen to 21 Hong Kong dollars to 24 Hong Kong dollars, and the rent of Grade A office buildings in Central has risen to 29 Hong Kong dollars per month. per square foot per month.

  Juelu Center alone will bring rental income of 2.277 billion Hong Kong dollars to the company this year. After deducting all operating costs, the profit will reach 1.8216 billion Hong Kong dollars! "

  He Bingguang preached with excitement.

  When the construction of Zhulu Center started, the total investment was 9 billion Hong Kong dollars, which shocked the whole Hong Kong at that time. Everyone was wondering how many years it would take for such an investment to pay off.

   But now the Zhulu Center is only halfway through construction, relying on rent alone, it has almost completed the investment income, and now the Zhulu Center has already become one of the most successful cases in the history of Xiangjiang Real Estate!

  Chu Huan smiled, and didn't care much about the benefits, so what is going on here!

By 1996, the rent of Grade A office buildings in Xiangjiang will reach a terrifying US$105.56 per square foot per year, ranking first among major commercial cities in the world, much higher than the US$78.79 in Moscow and US$74.32 in Tokyo, which rank second and third. .

   If calculated at this price, the annual rent for just one competition center will reach 1.82 billion US dollars!

  According to the exchange rate between Hong Kong dollars and U.S. dollars at that time, the rent of the competition center will be 15.48 billion Hong Kong dollars, which is only the rent of office buildings. If the rent of shops facing the street is added, the rent will reach a terrifying 25 billion Hong Kong dollars or more.

  Remember, this is only the data of 1996, and it is only the rent of a competitive center.

   Around 2000, the entire Jiaku was located in the Xiangjiang Commercial Building, shopping malls, and the annual rent of the shops would exceed 150 billion Hong Kong dollars!

   "In addition to the residential projects that are already in operation this year, notify the major real estate companies in Xiangjiang that this year, Zhulu Real Estate will reduce at least 50% of residential development projects!"

  After listening to He Bingguang's report, Chu Huan preached to He Bingguang.

Zhulu Real Estate has been earnestly implementing Chu Huan's requirements in the development of residential projects, that is, only providing land for cooperative development with real estate companies in Xiangjiang. No matter what construction, sales, or naming, these Zhulu Real Estate will not participate. , They only invested in the project according to the value of the land, and after the construction was completed, Zhulu Real Estate would obtain its own benefits according to the equity distribution.

  However, Zhulu Real Estate has never given up on the bidding and purchase of land. In addition, Zhulu Real Estate has already reserved land, which has long allowed Zhulu Real Estate to have the largest land reserve in Hong Kong.

  Chu Huan actually asked Zhulu Real Estate to reduce the development of residential projects by 50% when the market of Xiangjiang Real Estate was at its best. This decision made He Bingguang, who had always been in a relatively excited state, somewhat incomprehensible.

   "By the way, tell Lu Qi about my decision."

  Lu Qi is now in charge of the real estate project investment department. The establishment of this department may be to cooperate with the Jiaku Department to withdraw from the Xiangjiang residential project.

  Before, Lu Qi was only responsible for the investment of the cooperative real estate developers of a Zhulu Real Estate Group, but with the joining of Hehui and Landmark, Lu Qi's burden was obviously heavier.

   Of course, the rights are even greater!

  He Bingguang was really surprised this time, but he is no longer a rookie. He has been with Chu Huan for so many years, he has already gotten used to Chu Huan's ability, and at the same time has absolute admiration for Chu Huan.

  At this time, He Bingguang thought of the analysis results of Chu Huan that Xu Yi had given him before.

  At that time, Chu Huan had already stated in that report that Xiangjiang's real estate industry seemed to be booming, but in fact it was already somewhat falsely booming, which can be seen from the vacancy rate of houses.

   According to this report, looking at Chu Huan's order now, it is obvious that Chu Huan believes that the prosperity of the Xiangjiang real estate industry is estimated to be only one year left.

  By next year, it is very likely that there will be a landslide.

  Thinking of this, He Bingguang couldn't help asking Chu Huan.

   "Chairman, do you think Xiangjiang's real estate industry will experience a large-scale landslide next year?"

  Chu Huan nodded, and said: "It's like this, the development of Xiangjiang's real estate industry in the past two years has been too smooth, you haven't noticed, is this very similar to the situation before 73 years ago?

  The Jiaku department’s plate is too big. If Xiangjiang’s real estate industry will experience a downturn next year, it will be a very serious matter for the Jiaku department’s real estate industry. We have to prepare in advance.

  And even if there is no large-scale landslide in Xiangjiang's real estate industry next year, we will only make less money, but we will not lose money, understand? "

   This has nothing to do with Chu Huan's prophet of the development of the times, but a necessary process for the development of the real estate industry of the Jiaku Department.

  As Chu Huan said, the Jiaku Department’s plate is too big. Over the years, the development of the entire Jiaku Department, including the two major groups of Yunhai and Kyushu, has been able to go smoothly beyond many people’s understanding of business.

   All this is due to Chu Huan's precise analysis of the development of the times.

   But this does not mean that these three groups have this ability.

  Now Chu Huan has begun to decentralize his powers, which means that in the future, the proportion of independent management of these enterprises will be even greater.

  According to the huge size of the Jiaku system, it is unnecessary to think about the development speed of Chu Huan when these enterprises operate independently.

  So at this time, Chu Huan's goal for the entire Jiaku system is that unless he personally participates in the project, under other circumstances, these companies must move forward at a more steady pace.

  With the foundation laid by Chu Huan for them, as long as they make fewer mistakes, their development will be unstoppable!

   This is not only Chu Huan's decision alone.

  In fact, before meeting He Bingguang, Chu Huan had already received advice from the think tank in the think tank at the think tank meeting inside the bank.

  Their suggestions coincided with Chu Huan's thoughts.

  With one heart and one mind, this regulation that affects the development of the entire Jiaku will naturally be officially issued this year!

  Although He Bingguang still had some doubts in his heart, he also understood at this time that what he had to do was to implement Chu Huan's decision seriously.

   "Understood, please rest assured, chairman, I will let the company formulate a detailed development plan according to your instructions!"

  Chu Huan nodded.

  Afterwards, He Bingguang asked Chu Huan about another matter. Although Chu Huan had analyzed the future development trend of Xiangjiang's real estate industry just now, this matter was too big. He Bingguang had to ask Chu Huan to clarify.

   "Chairman, according to the information we have received, this year the MTR Corporation will launch a one-time bidding project for the development rights of properties above nine subway stations. Do we still want to participate in this project?"

  Chu Huan knew which project He Bingguang was asking about.

These nine subway stations are all located in Central. As the most expensive land in Xiangjiang, Central has the highest rent. There have been successful cases of Zhulu Real Estate in Admiralty and Central, which made the nine subway stations The bidding for the property development right on top of the site has attracted real estate companies from all over Xiangjiang.

  In another time and space, after receiving a promised loan of 1.5 billion Hong Kong dollars from a Japanese bank, Hang Lung brought together New World, Kailian International, Yihua Yixin, Liao Chongxing and other companies to bid for the joint venture consortium, and finally won the bid.

  This project went smoothly at the beginning. The Hongmian Building in the Murray Road area of ​​the Central District is nearing completion, and the Xiangshan Building in the second section of Admiralty is being planned.

  The newly built Xiangshan Building in the plan covers an area of ​​69,000 square feet, with a total floor area of ​​1.043 million square feet. According to the requirements of the Hong Kong government, a land premium of 1.82 billion yuan is required, and the completion is within 28 days.

   At this time, it was already September of 1982. It was also at this time that Thatcher went to the capital, and the real estate industry in Xiangjiang took a sharp turn for the worse.

  Due to the sharp drop in land prices, Hang Lung had no choice but to propose to the Hong Kong government to reduce the land price to 1.4 billion yuan, but it was not accepted.

  At such a moment, the Japanese bank that had signed a contract to lend the highest credit of 1.5 billion yuan to Hang Lung temporarily withdrew its commitment.

  By December, after Hang Lung failed to apply again to the Hong Kong government for an extension of the land premium, it had to announce a "retirement" and withdraw from the development of the Admiralty Section 2 superstructure. The rest of the subway station superstructure projects also had to be postponed.

   In this battle, the consortium headed by Hang Lung not only "returned like entering a treasure mountain empty-handed", but also lost a deposit of 400 million yuan for no reason, which was not a light blow.

In December 1984, the joint statement was issued, and the Hong Kong real estate market began to bottom out. The Hong Kong government took advantage of the situation and launched the second section of Admiralty to the bidding. The result was won by the Sino-led consortium, which developed into the Finance Plaza, which later became the Benda Center. Earn huge profits.

  Thus, Hang Lung has greatly increased its vigilance towards the real estate cycle, and its investment strategy has become more conservative.

   Now that Hang Lung Real Estate has long since ceased to exist, Chu Huan, knowing the future development trend, naturally let his company join in!

   "We don't want to complete this project alone, I will help you arrange a helper, and this helper is the main force participating in the bidding, not us!"

  If He Bingguang could understand Chu Huan's decision to reduce investment in the real estate industry before, then now he can't understand Chu Huan's decision.

First of all, in the field of commercial buildings, Zhulu Real Estate has always been independently developed and completed. Even judging from the previous development rights of properties above Admiralty Station and Central Station, we will wait until the development of these nine subway stations. When the rights are over, Zhulu Real Estate will also buy its properties.

  Secondly, although this project looks huge, the property development right on top of the nine subway stations will require an investment of at least tens of billions of Hong Kong dollars as a whole.

  However, Zhulu Real Estate has this strength!

  Chu Huan actually wants to bring in other partners now, and at the same time let the other party take the lead in this matter. This is completely inconsistent with the law of the development of the competition?

   Chu Huan didn't give an explanation for this, but just asked He Bingguang to wait for his own arrangement!

  Although He Bingguang insisted on this a few words, but seeing that Chu Huan had already made a decision, he could only leave here with his mind full of doubts.

  After He Bingguang left, Chu Huan called Xu Yi to his office.

   "Check my itinerary during this period and arrange a time. I want to meet Chen Songqing from Carrian!"

  Xu Yi took out his notebook, read it, and said, "You have two hours at noon the day after tomorrow, and you can meet him at that time!"

  Chu Huan nodded and said: "Yes, let him know and let him come to see me at that time!"

After entering 1981, Chen Songqing's Carrian Group will usher in a period of rapid development. In this year, Carrian under the leadership of Chen Songqing will cooperate with major consortiums in Xiangjiang successively to attack in an all-round way. In 80 and 81 During the two years, Chen Songqing kept rolling the snowball of Carrian.

   In 1982, Carrian ushered in their peak. At that time, Carrian had more than 100 affiliated companies, and the scale was close to that of Jardine. It was too ancient!

   But it's all a castle in the air.

   What Chu Huan has to do now is to make this castle in the air more beautiful, because only in this way can Chu Huan attack his ultimate goal in Xiangjiang.

  HSBC!

  Of course, it is impossible for Chu Huan to win HSBC. Neither the Hong Kong government nor the British government will allow such a thing to happen.

  But Chu Huan can use this matter to launch an impact on HSBC's industries, such as Hang Seng Bank!

  The development of HSBC Bank itself is too stable. It is not easy to seize their weakness, and the Carrian incident is Chu Huan's best opportunity.

  In another time and space, HSBC Bank suffered heavy losses because of Carrian's situation, but at that time HSBC had a big business, and the losses suffered were still able to make up for it.

  The current HSBC is different from the HSBC in another time and space. From the perspective of strength on paper, the scale of HSBC at this time is actually stronger than that in another time and space.

  After all, at this time, HSBC has completed the acquisition of Ocean Milan Bank in North America. With the investment department cooperating with Jiaku, it has also begun to study the acquisition of European banks.

  However, there are pros and cons to everything. The increase in HSBC's strength on paper actually means that HSBC's investment has also increased. Although HSBC now has no unrealistic idea of ​​surpassing the first warehouse.

  But HSBC itself still wants to increase its influence, so now HSBC has more support for Carrian, which has obviously developed rapidly.

  The current project, if Carrian can be used to implicate HSBC, then Chu Huan can take advantage of the general trend and work hard to get what he wants!

  Based on Chen Songqing's bold and reckless character, he will definitely not give up this opportunity for development!

   What we need to see now is actually how Chen Songqing dragged HSBC down!

  Xu Yi didn't say much about this matter, but reported several other things to Chu Huan.

"Boss, Li Jiacheng from Changshi and Li Zhaoji from Henderson have already sent proposals. Changshi is planning to sell new shares in January this year to obtain shares in Lixing Development. The two decisions were officially listed in September, and most members of the board of directors of these two companies have signed and agreed, and we are left, and they want to ask us if we agree to sign!"

  China Real Estate has always been the second largest shareholder of these two groups, and their decisions do require the signature of Chinese Real Estate.

  Chang Shi of Li Jiacheng, although he did not have the huge handwriting of He Tunjing from another time and space to win Hutchison, but Li Jiacheng's reputation as a superman is not for nothing.

   Only wrong names, no wrong nicknames!

In the past few years, Cheung Kong has been frantically developing new real estate and commercial building projects through cooperation with Zhulu and other real estate companies in Hong Kong. At the end of last year, its market value had grown to 3.11 billion Hong Kong dollars, ranking among Hong Kong's Chinese real estate developers. The fourth place is only behind Sun Hung Kai's 7.02 billion Hong Kong dollars, New World's 5.73 billion Hong Kong dollars, and Carrian's 3.28 billion Hong Kong dollars!

  The data here are the market capitalization of these companies when they were at their highest market capitalization last year. By the end of the year, they all fell back, but not much.

   But no matter what, the name of Superman is true, but without the acquisition of Hutchison, the market value of Changshi is still far from the 9.03 billion Hong Kong dollars in another time and space!

  Henderson Land Development is the latest listed company among the four real estate families in Hong Kong.

  But in fact, compared with the other three companies, Henderson Land’s road to listing is not much different.

   They all chose to go public at the peak of the Xiangjiang stock market, and then used this to withdraw a large amount of cash. When the real estate industry was in the cold winter, they bought land at a low price, allowing it to develop better.

In fact, the listing of Henderson Land was as successful as they thought. After the listing, with various good news, at the end of the year, the market value of Henderson Land was as high as 3.52 billion Hong Kong dollars, or even more than Changshi's market value last year.

   Chu Huan naturally has no objection to the ideas of these two groups. He originally invested in their stocks and became their second largest shareholder in order to be optimistic about their future development.

   These two people have already successfully proved themselves in Chu Huan's eyes. Since they are successful people, why don't they support them!

   "Tell Wen Mingzhang not to wait for my notice for such things in the future, just let him be normal and support them!"

  Xu Yi nodded and said with a smile: "Mr. Wen is indeed a bit busy these days. The takeover of Jardine and Landmark involved a lot of his energy after all."

  If it were another person who told Chu Huan, Chu Huan would definitely think that this person was actually putting eye drops on Wen Mingzhang.

  By saying this, I’m not telling myself that Wen Mingzhang’s personal energy is limited, and being responsible for the acceptance of Jardine and Landmark has already involved all his energy.

   As a result, Wen Mingzhang didn't pay more attention to other companies in which he invested.

But for Xu Yi, Chu Huan will not think so, because Chu Huan understands Xu Yi, if Xu Yi really wants to find someone to share Wen Mingzhang's rights and take over the shares of Huaren Real Estate Investment, Xu Yi will tell Chu Huan directly Instead of reminding Chu Huan by beating around the bush and a little bit of green tea.

   "In this case, you should talk to Wen Mingzhang, let him understand the group's thinking, and tell me, do you want me to pass the message for you?"

Xu Yi smiled awkwardly, and said: "Boss Wen still has some abilities, otherwise Jiaku would not have given the double-S evaluation, but after all, it is the first time for him to take over such a huge asset. Some problems are inevitable!"

  Chu Huan nodded and said, "Isn't there always someone helping Jiaku here? Let's leave it like this first!"

  Xu Yi nodded and said, "Yes!"

   Then Xu Yi told Chu Huan another thing, that is, Li Mingze planned to form Hysan Industrial, a family business, to go public!

   "Boss, as a veteran family in Xiangjiang, Li's family still has a lot of properties in Xiangjiang. If their company goes public, should we buy some shares?"

Chu Huan thought for a while, and then said: "Forget it, even if Hysan Industrial is listed, it is still a pure rent-collecting real estate company. Among the descendants of Li's, there are not many capable people, and they cannot lead Hysan Development. If Xingye grows bigger, there is no need to waste money on this matter!"

Having said that, in fact, after the listing of Hysan Development, although the stock price did not fluctuate much, but because the properties it holds are all Grade A office buildings and high-end residences, Hysan Development was still known as Hysan Development when it was first listed. For small land!

   But as Chu Huan said, the stock of this company does not fluctuate very much, and there is no point in buying it!

   Unless Chu Huan wants to completely acquire Hysan Industrial.
