Chapter 245 Huo Yingdong's reminder and architecture master Beijin Ming
"Papa Papa Papa Papa ~~~~" made a thunderous sound at the scene, except for a few group leaders, most of them, most of them, most of them, most of them, most of them, most of them, most of them, most People were clapping very happily.
Whether you have acquired the land or just come to join in the fun, because everyone is in the real estate industry, this auction is enough to release a very positive message to the market.
That is, Hong Kong housing prices will inevitably rise sharply in the short term, and everyone here will benefit from this.
Zheng Zhijie also applauded along with everyone. After a while, the applause stopped and he said: "Yang Sheng, according to historical experience, this auction is enough to increase the land price in Hong Kong by an estimated 10%. , will be implemented within the next two months
In this way, if the value of many of our properties in Hong Kong has increased so much, we can not only reduce the debt pressure, but also use the increase to get a second mortgage. "
"Well, that's good news. Yang Wendong nodded, looked at other people at the scene, and said, "This real estate competition has really benefited so many colleagues." ”
The more players there are in industry, the easier it is for everyone to not make money or even lose money. Many economic crises in human history are also due to excessive industrial production capacity and oversupply, even World War I and World War II. And the outbreak;
The same is true for shipping. In more than ten years, more and more ships will appear, which will lead to a crisis in the shipbuilding industry.
But the real estate and financial stock markets are the opposite. The more people there are, the higher the benefits for everyone
"Yes, so many times, even if the competition among real estate companies in Hong Kong is fierce, they will often stick together." Zheng Zhijie smiled and said: "Yang Sheng, all of us can have a Hong Kong government treat at the Peninsula Hotel later.
You can go back first. I still need to deal with some information after the successful bidding."
"Okay." Yang Wendong nodded: "Follow East Asia and Hengsheng. Good cooperation, not just an auction We still need their help to design and build the hotel later.”
After more than a month of consideration, Yang Wendong finally decided to cooperate with Bank of East Asia and Hang Seng Bank, with a 64% share, mainly because of this. The sum of money was so big that he didn’t feel comfortable handing it over to just one bank.
This time, the Hong Kong government contracted the most luxurious steakhouse in the Peninsula Hotel, which was specially used to entertain the many wealthy people who came to participate in the bidding and those around them. assistant.
"This place is really luxurious." Zheng Zhijie said subconsciously after entering.
Yang Wendong said with a smile: "When we build the Four Seasons Hotel in the future, there must be such high-end shops in it."
A large hotel cannot only have guest rooms.
All kinds of food, entertainment, fitness, shopping, etc. are available. At most, it is only about shopping. Due to the size of the space, it cannot be perfect.
Four Seasons The positioning of the hotel itself is also high-end, so it will naturally have these things, and it must be high-end.
Zheng Zhijie said: "Yang Sheng, I am going to release the news this afternoon to ask world-renowned construction companies to participate in the design bidding of our hotel;
This kind of luxury five-star hotel has no design experience in Hong Kong. "
"What about the Kinmen building you mentioned last time?" Yang Wendong asked.
Zheng Zhijie shook his head and said: "No, they only have construction experience. In the past, many buildings in Hong Kong were designed by overseas construction companies and then subcontracted to local companies like Kinmen Construction for construction;
So we also need to find overseas design companies, and then hand them over to Kinmen or other construction companies.”
"Yeah, okay." Yang Wendong nodded and said.
In his impression, many domestic hotels in the early 21st century were designed by overseas design companies because the locals lacked experience in this area;
Of course, the current Hong Kong hotels are also designed by overseas design companies. It’s almost the same. Although Hong Kong’s housing prices are expensive, it has only a few years of development. Compared with the West, it is more than a hundred years later. The talents in the construction field are definitely far behind.
Besides, even if there is a local design company with inexperience, Yang Wendong really doesn’t dare to hand over such an important project to them. Even if he wants to train them, he will definitely operate them slowly from childhood to adulthood.
After the two entered the interior, a familiar voice suddenly came from behind: "Yang Sheng."
Yang Wendong turned around, saw the person behind him, and said with a smile: "Huo Sheng, congratulations on getting the land in North Point. It seems that you can build more than 1,000 homes, right?"
"Haha, they are all five-year-olds. It’s just a small apartment of 600 square feet.” Huo Yingdong replied: “It’s far behind the land king that Yang Sheng bought.”
“It’s also because we can only build hotels, otherwise we won’t be able to buy land. Give up." Yang Wendong said with a smile.
If Real Estate is really determined to win this piece of land, then with his financial resources, I am afraid that he really can't compete with it, and it will really be of no benefit to him to fight hard.
Huo Yingdong said: "Even a hotel is pretty good. With such a good location, business will definitely not be bad."
"Thank you for your kind words." Yang Wendong said again: "Huo Sheng, why don't we have a meal here together?"
"Okay." Huo Yingdong agreed.
Then, a few people found a seat by the window. From here, they could see half of Hong Kong Island.
"The scenery in Hong Kong is so beautiful." Huo Yingdong said with emotion: "When I was young, even on Hong Kong Island, there were still many chaotic slums."
Yang Wendong asked : "Are they the same as the squatters in Kowloon Peninsula?"
"Almost the same, even a little worse." Huo Yingdong thought for a while and said: "Although they are all poor, Hong Kong's society is much stronger now than it was 20 years ago;
Yang Sheng, maybe You would think that Hong Kong society is very chaotic now, but it is much better than before."
"Of course, society is always making progress," Yang Wendong agreed.
In previous lives, everyone said how chaotic Hong Kong was in the 1960s and how corrupt the police were. They even made a movie called "Lei Luo";
But it was better than the 1930s and 1940s. There are too many, especially the economic improvements.
And in any place where ZZ is "stable" and the economy becomes stronger, even if the capitalists get the lion's share, ordinary people can enjoy some of the fruits of economic development.
Huo Yingdong added: "It also requires businessmen like Yang Sheng, who can drive economic development, to make society develop better."
"Huo Sheng deserves the award." Yang Wendong felt that something was a little abnormal. He had been praised many times, but he usually wouldn't be like this.
Huo Yingdong asked again: "Yang Sheng, I heard that you are planning to use your own freighter to transport water to Hong Kong?"
"Yes." Yang Wendong nodded and said, "But now Just registered, not formal cooperation yet.”
Yang Wendong did not disclose this matter to the public, but the news spread, probably to the Hong Kong government. After all, his people went to the Water Supplies Department to discuss cooperation, and many people on the other side knew about it.
However, the drought is not serious yet, and the freighters here have their uses. Only when the purchased second-hand freighters are in place can we start this business.
Huo Yingdong asked strangely: "Yang Sheng, why do you want to do this business? There are many shipping kings in Hong Kong, but they don't like this. The profits provided by the Hong Kong government are not high."
"I don't care about profits." Yang Wendong shook his head and said: "I hope that ordinary citizens in Hong Kong will not be affected by the lack of water;
Although tap water is not expensive, if it is gone or in short supply, the consequences will be The loss is too great. "I admire Yang Sheng's righteousness," Huo Yingdong said with a thumbs up.
Yang Wendong said with a smile: "Compared to Huo Sheng, Huo Sheng sent a lot of life-saving supplies to the country."
"There is no need to mention the past. "Huo Yingdong paused and said, "Yang Sheng, you want to transport water to Hong Kong. This is a good idea, but you must control this matter, otherwise you may suffer heavy losses."
< br>"How to say?" Yang Wendong asked.
Huo Yingdong did not answer directly, but asked: "Yang Sheng, do you think that the Hong Kong government has launched a lot of land during this period? There are even several sites in Central, covering an area of Is it not bad with the location? ”
"Yes." Yang Wendong nodded and said, "Now that land prices are rising, it should be normal for the Hong Kong government to take the opportunity to sell more land, right?"
Huo Yingdong smiled and said, "No, Yang Sheng You haven't been in the real estate business for a long time, so you don't know very well. The real estate market has been rising a lot, but recently there have been obviously a lot more real estate auctions;
The fundamental reason is that the Hong Kong government is raising money and wants to build the property as soon as possible. The High Island Reservoir and the desalination plant in Tuen Mun. "
"The British want to get rid of the mainland as soon as possible?" Yang Wendong also understood.
Although Hong Kong is located in a typhoon area, the special geological environment makes it impossible to store fresh water. Coupled with the increasing population, economic activities such as industry, commerce, and even power generation also require fresh water, this has become a huge problem.
Fresh water is the foundation of survival. It is not only related to money, but also related to survival issues.
Based on Hong Kong’s surrounding environment, it is most appropriate to buy water from the mainland. However, once this is done, Hong Kong and even the United Kingdom will be pinched by the mainland.
Therefore, on the one hand, the Hong Kong government buys water from the mainland, and on the other hand, it invests hundreds of millions of Hong Kong dollars to build reservoirs and desalination plants. From an economic point of view, it can lose even the pants in its pants, but this ZZ account~
"Yes." Huo Yingdong nodded and said.
Yang Wendong shook his head helplessly and said: "What if the fresh water can be independent? Don't all kinds of daily necessities, meat, vegetables and many other supplies have to be imported from the mainland?"
"Hahaha, Yang Sheng is right, but Hong Kong British will not see it that way." Huo Yingdong continued: "I told Yang Sheng about this because if the construction of the High Island Reservoir is completed, there will be another typhoon storage. water, maybe Hong Kong will not need water from the mainland.
I heard that you want to buy a large number of ships. I don’t know how many ships will be used to transport fresh water, but if you had known about this earlier, you could have. Prepared."
"Thank you for letting me know, Huo Sheng," Yang Wendong said with sincere gratitude.
As a time traveler, he naturally knows that the Hong Kong government's plan will completely fail next year, because there will be a greater drought later, and the Hong Kong government will eventually have to sign a contract with the mainland to introduce Dongjiang water.
But Huo Yingdong reminded him that no matter what the purpose is, it is always well-intentioned.
For some things, even if you know that the other party has a purpose, since it is a kind help, it is difficult to make it clear.
Huo Yingdong added: "Yang Sheng, a small businessman only needs to consider business, but a big businessman has to consider ZZ. I think you should understand the meaning."
"I know." Yang Wendong smiled.
"Well, if Yang Sheng can be so successful in a few years, he will definitely understand the reason." Huo Yingdong paused and then explained: "The reason why I told Yang Sheng this is not I don't think people like Yang Sheng should suffer unnecessary losses.
I know that after you started your business, you were very kind to your ordinary workers, and you were also keen on doing charity to help ordinary Chinese people. I admire this kind of character, so. I also want to make friends.”
"I am also very happy to make friends like Huo Sheng." Yang Wendong said with a smile: "There is a saying that is good, I have been caught in the rain, so I also hope to hold an umbrella for others, even adults, but at least children should Some eat.”
In the past life, mainlanders basically didn’t worry about food, and even worried that eating too much would cause many metabolic diseases;
But in fact, a few decades ago, even It's Hong Kong, and there are many families who don't have good food.
As a big capitalist who can no longer spend money, he still hopes to provide more jobs within his ability to help the Chinese in Hong Kong get rid of the trouble of not being able to fill their food.
"What a good person to hold an umbrella for future generations." Huo Yingdong nodded, raised his glass and said, "Come on, Yang Sheng, let me toast you."
"Okay, drink whatever you want." Yang Wendong said with a smile. This is a very light beer, and you can usually drink a little.
After noon, Yang Wendong said goodbye and left.
The assistant next to Huo Yingdong asked: "Huo Sheng, this is the first time I have seen you take the initiative to make friends with a Chinese, and you are still so young."
"That's because of me I feel that Yang Wendong's future is immeasurable, and he probably won't be much worse than Ho Tung," Huo Yingdong said.
"Mr. Ho Tung?" The assistant was very surprised. In the eyes of many Hong Kong Chinese, Ho Tung is a myth of Hong Kong's wealth.
Huo Yingdong added: "What's more important is his character. In the few years since he started his business, he has done a lot of things to help poor people. This alone makes him worthy of my friendship;
I hope that in the future, he will also have It’s an opportunity to help hundreds of millions of people in the north.”
“It’s a bit difficult,” the assistant muttered.
In the next few days, Zheng Zhijie completed the procedures at the Lands Department of the Hong Kong Government, and at the same time, through the joint banking syndicate of East Asia and Hang Seng Bank, the first loan was issued: HK$15 million;
Changxing The real estate company also contributed 5 million, and a total of 20 million Hong Kong dollars was paid to the Hong Kong government. This was the first payment for the Queen's Road land, and the next payment will be made in one and a half years.
Real estate transactions involving large amounts are generally delivered in batches, just like normal business.
Another week passed, and the time soon came to December 12th:
On this day, Zheng Zhijie came to Yang Wendong with a piece of information and said: "Yang Sheng, what date is this? Please take a look at the bidding information of the international construction company."
"Okay, let me take a look." Yang Wendong took the information and saw the catalog on the first page, and a familiar name appeared in front of him.
Then he asked: "Do you know anything about this Pei Jinming Architects Firm?"
Yang Wendong has naturally heard of the name Bei Jinming. This is one of the most successful architects in Chinese history.
In his previous life, he designed the more famous Bank of China Building in Hong Kong, Bank of China Head Office Building in Yanjing, Macau Science Museum, Suzhou Museum, as well as many buildings in the United States and other countries.
Zheng Zhijie replied: "This Bei Jinming is a Chinese and has a good reputation in the American construction industry."
