Chapter 182 Repurchasing Central Property
Yang Wendong said with a smile: "It's not that I am optimistic about this plastic company, but Wang Yongqing. Look at his entrepreneurial experience. Although it is a little longer than ours, it is still very exciting. .
Such a person is very capable and has achieved some success. If I have the opportunity to invest, I would still be willing to invest. ”
Under normal circumstances, it is suitable for investment. In other words, real estate finance, or future high-tech, Internet companies, etc., traditional factories were not very popular with capital in the early days.
After all, the probability of encountering giants like Huawei and BYD in the early stage is almost slim. Even if you can encounter them, it will take at least 20 to 30 years to grow. How can they compare with real estate finance? Or Internet companies.
Only talent is the most important.
Su Yiyi nodded and said: "Oh, just like in the early days, if someone can invest in you, you will definitely make a profit now."
"Haha, yes, almost." Yang Wendong laughed He smiled and said: "But there is no chance. Even if I have to, I would rather let It is impossible to sell shares in the factory after issuing a patent like sticky notes.”
It’s not that he can’t accept investment, but it’s definitely not cost-effective in the early stages, especially when he has big hits in his mind. Products, or the right business direction, it would be foolish to sell shares in the early stage.
"Yeah." Su Yiyi also understood that Yang Wendong's greatest strength was his ability to invent many practical small commodities.
Yang Wendong added: "Today's things are almost done. Let's go back to Hong Kong Island. We will go shopping in Central at noon and go to Hong Kong China Building to do something in the afternoon."
Important things about Changxing Industrial , one is to buy a ship for the future export of suitcases, and the other is to ensure the stability and low cost of plastic particles, the core supply commodity, by investing in Taiwan's largest group "Formosa Plastics" in the future.
The ship matter has been settled, and we are just waiting for a dozen crew members to follow the "Wilson" back to Hong Kong. After confirming that there is no problem, we can pay the balance and deliver. As for the investment in "Formosa Plastics", we still need to discuss it with Wang Yongqing. After negotiation, the funds involved may be more than one million Hong Kong dollars, and it will not be settled in a short time.
"Okay." Su Yiyi nodded. The two of them now frequently travel between Hong Kong Island and the Kowloon Peninsula.
At noon, the two came to Central.
Arriving at the door of a cinema called Lanya Cinema, Su Yiyi asked: "Brother Dong, do you want to watch a movie?"
"That's right." Yang Wendong looked at his watch and said, "Wait a minute. Haoyu, I made an appointment with him. Let’s find a place to sit. It’s too hot.”
“Yeah, okay.” Su Yiyi nodded, and the two ended up in a nearby air-conditioned shop. This kind of shop is rare in Hong Kong.
After a while, Lin Haoyu brought a girl of about the same age to the neighborhood, and was then called in by Yang Wendong.
"Brother Dong, Yiyi." Lin Haoyu introduced with a smile: "This is Tingting, my girlfriend."
"Okay." Yang Wendong nodded politely, while Su Yiyi was very happy.
"Hello, brother Dong, hello sister Yiyi, my name is Zhou Wenting." Zhou Wenting said a little cautiously.
Lin Haoyu said to her: "Tingting, be more casual. My brother Dong is very talkative. He doesn't have the arrogance of those big bosses at all. He is very good to his friends."
"Yeah." Zhou Wenting nodded.
Su Yiyi asked curiously: "How did you two meet?"
Lin Haoyu explained: "We know each other from business. Changxing Pest Control Company has been doing rodent control and pest control for many properties in Hong Kong. Tingting's family runs a grain store, so we met her that way."
< br>"Haha, it's fate. It seems that my pest control company is not in vain." Yang Wendong said with a smile.
In the early days of starting a business, the first and most important transformation was from making mouse traps to starting to try the rodent control service industry. It was precisely because of this that I made my first pot of gold. , Only then can we have the ability to open a factory to produce sticky mouse boards.
After the scale of subsequent factories became larger, especially after the advent of post-it notes, the former pest control company was actually not that big in terms of making money. However, in order to take care of the group of people who followed him to start his own business, Yang Wendong still Let Lin Haoyu continue to do this.
Lin Haoyu said with a smile: "Brother Dong is joking, this pest control company also makes a lot of profits a year."
"Put it in your own company account." Yang Wendong didn't care. He also knew that the company would make a profit of 30,000 to 50,000 yuan a year.
Then he said: "Are you still doing what I arranged for you to do?"
"You are doing it. I have collected all kinds of information." Lin Haoyu nodded and said.
Yang Wendong said: "Okay, let's eat first and we'll talk about it later."
"Yeah" everyone immediately ordered and had a simple lunch.
After lunch, the four of them bought four movie tickets, and then watched a short movie together.
At around two o'clock in the afternoon, the two girls Su Yiyi and Zhou Wenting obviously had a good relationship and went to a jewelry store next to the cinema to look at the goods.
Yang Wendong and Lin Haoyu sat down at a tea restaurant in front of the cinema and ordered a cup of afternoon tea.
Lin Haoyu asked: "Brother Dong, do you want to buy this Lanya Cinema?"
"Yes." Yang Wendong nodded and said: "Zheng Zhijie, I have already He has assigned the task of acquiring or building his own cinema. In the past few months, he has bought 7 pieces of land in 4 towns in Kowloon and is preparing to build cinemas;
However, it is not easy to acquire large areas of land on Hong Kong Island. The best way is to acquire existing cinemas. After waiting for several months, one of them was interested in selling. "
"I heard that the business of this theater is indeed good, and the flow of people nearby is relatively large. Lin Haoyu nodded and said, "I have also cooperated with this cinema. After they did business during the day, I always sent people over at night to clean up and eliminate rats." "
"Theaters are generally like this, they are busier during the day. Yang Wendong smiled and said: "If the security was better, there would be people watching movies in the middle of the night." ”
“Yes. Lin Haoyu nodded and asked: "Brother Dong, what is the price of this cinema?" I'm curious to ask. "
Yang Wendong said: "It's not certain yet, but the price is at least one million or more. It's not that the cinema is valuable, but that the land is located in a prime location in Central and the area is not small. "If the transaction is really done, the transaction amount will be kept secret on Yang Wendong's side, but not necessarily on the other side. Besides, the land prices are for reference, and generally they won't be too far off. Outsiders can probably guess. There is no need to keep it secret
Lin Haoyu almost took a breath and said: "It's too expensive. It requires me to work hard. I'm afraid I won't be able to afford it in my lifetime."
"You want to buy such a big property for work? "Yang Wendong said with a smile: "Only doing business is possible. You first work hard at the pest control company and collect various first-hand information on Hong Kong properties for me. Later, you can also go out and do some business yourself. "
Before the pest control company, Yang Wendong didn't pay much attention to it, but after he established the real estate company, Zheng Zhijie learned about all the other businesses within the company and asked the pest control company to help him collect information.
After Yang Wendong knew the reason, he agreed. He also discovered that his pest control company's business itself was not much, but because it had cooperative relationships with many properties, it was able to obtain a lot of the latest news.
You know, in the era before the Internet, it was difficult for even veterans in the real estate industry to know too much property information, especially since many properties were still changing at any time, but Changxing Pest Control Company was able to collect this information almost easily.
"Okay." Lin Haoyu nodded and said: "By the way, there is one more small thing. We have received the task of exterminating rats from some ships, and I am ready to expand in this direction.
Hong Kong's The property is fixed, but the boat is not. The market is also very big. "
"Boat? You can do it yourself!" Yang Wendong didn't care.
For him, this business is not about making money. As long as it can create some employment, that's fine.
...
At about 3:30 in the afternoon, Yang Wendong returned to Hong Kong China Building with Su Yiyi.
The top floor, here is the current office location of Changxing Real Estate.
From here, you can also see a lot of scenery in Hong Kong, but it is a bit far from Victoria Harbor.
Zheng Zhijie had known for a long time that the boss was coming and had made preparations for it. When Yang Wendong arrived, he came to report: "Yang Sheng, the quotation for Blu-ray Cinema has come out. Wheelock is asking for 175 10,000 Hong Kong dollars.”
"175? Is this equivalent to the land price of the seven theaters we built in Kowloon?" Yang Wendong said.
"Yes." Zheng Zhijie continued: "But it is a good location in Central, covering an area of more than 8,500 square feet. Such land is not easy to find in that location."
< br>"Yeah." Yang Wendong also knew the importance of location, and then asked: "Why is Wheelock suddenly willing to sell this location?"
The four major foreign banks in Hong Kong in the 1980s are now in the 50-60s In the 1990s, there were already four companies and three companies. Except for Hutchison Whampoa, the other three companies were already the top giants in Hong Kong.
Many of these large foreign companies were active in Hong Kong in the 19th century, and they also occupied a large number of prime locations in the early days, such as Central, which were basically controlled by a few major British capitals. Even in the 21st century, they Still a large percentage of the property.
Zheng Zhijie replied: "It is said that it is because they want to raise funds to buy new ships."
"Oh, that makes sense." Yang Wendong nodded: "Then let's continue talking. If the price is reasonable, it will be fine. . ”
Although many British investors in this era are doing well in Hong Kong, they are not optimistic about the future, so many of them just make money and run away.
This is one of the reasons why there are many British-owned shipping companies in China. In addition to Hong Kong itself being a trade transit port, another reason is that ships are not fixed assets, but floating on the sea.
Wheelock is the largest consortium with this investment concept.
In 66 years, Wheelock and a bunch of British capital will sell off real estate on a large scale, and then Chinese capital will acquire the land at a low price. This is also the main reason for the rise of Chinese capital in the 1970s.
"Okay, Yang Sheng." Zheng Zhijie agreed, and then said: "Yang Sheng, in addition to this theater land, I have also acquired many old buildings around our Hong Kong and China Building.
There is already enough space to demolish and build another one. I wonder if we need to build it now?”
“Where is the location?” Yang Wendong asked.
Zheng Zhijie took out a map from his hand, pointed it to the boss and said: "Here, it is almost 300 meters away from us."
"Well, OK, let's build it!" After Yang Wendong finished speaking, he looked at the map for a while and asked, "Do you think we can acquire all of this area?"
"This is difficult." Zheng Zhijie also knew what his boss meant, and said: "The biggest trouble in acquiring old buildings is the owners behind them. They will know that a big company has to acquire their properties, and they will raise the price unlimitedly.
So generally He said that real estate companies are willing to acquire vacant land. "
Yang Wendong asked again: "I remember that if the demolition amount reaches 90%, the final 10% will also need to be sold at the final price, right?" br>
"Yes, it can be like this. The law has this provision." Zheng Zhijie explained: "But even if it reaches 90%, it is very difficult. Even if we acquire it to build an office building, it will cost so much for such a small area." Half a year.
For ordinary residential real estate, if you want to achieve 90% normally, you probably have to be determined to do so by any means necessary. "
"Forget it. Yang Wendong continued: "Build the new building first. Show me the specific information before building it." ”
Now that land prices are on the rise, it cannot be said that there are no opportunities to acquire properties, but it is certainly not easy to acquire all the properties in a range.
It is better to appropriately acquire properties that are helpful to your other businesses. For the rest, if you have money in 66 years, you can buy whatever you want.
