Chapter 255 No. 33 Barker Road
"The Youngest Richest Man" - Sina News.
"The richest man, nineteen years old" - NetEase News.
"Other people are studying hard in high school, but his high school is starting a business" - TOM.
"From zero to richest man in two years, who is he?" 》——Sohu.
This is online media.
Traditional media are relatively more rigorous, but the content is quite different.
What really made Xu Liang famous all over the world was a short message in the news.
However, the report does not highlight how much money he has, but encourages innovation, especially high-tech innovation.
But the helpless people are more interested in money.
As the news fermented, Xu Liang's news spread throughout China like a hurricane.
Even as far away as Xiangjiang, he could still feel the trouble of 'no one in the world knows you', because there were countless calls from people he knew and didn't know. In desperation, he could only start again. Got a new account.
Contact only those closest to you.
Leave the work phone to Lu Hui.
Now my ears are a little clearer.
"Haha, you've been very annoyed these past two days, haven't you?" Jiang Xiaoyang laughed.
"Why do I hear that your tone is a bit gloating?"
Xu Liang, holding the mobile phone, said angrily.
"Don't slander me. I'm just happy, not gloating."
"Why are you happy?"
"Of course it's easier to raise funds. In the past, when I went to raise funds, people would ignore me or even not see me at all. Later, after Hongmeng raised funds, it finally became easier, but it still required door-to-door talks.
It’s different now.
When Forbes publishes and CCTV reports, I don’t even need to go. Now people rush to my door to give me money.
Mars 3 Fund, The Mars 4 Fund, Venus Fund, and Saturn Fund are now moving towards one billion Chinese coins. I believe that it will not be long before they are all raised.
And it will be easy for us to invest.
Once you hear that the company is owned by the richest man, you will naturally have an advantage over other investment companies. "
The sign of the richest man is also a reflection of credibility in many cases. Many start-up companies need this sign to enhance their own value.
"Xiaoyang, although it is easy to raise funds, But don’t raise too much at once. Hanhua does not yet have the experience and strength to handle so much capital, so blind expansion is a disaster rather than a blessing. "Xu Liang confessed.
"I can only agree with part of what you said.
Corporate investment is indeed what you said, we cannot over-expand. But precious metals, jewelry raw materials and works of art don’t require much experience, as long as you accumulate enough.
Therefore, the more Venus and Saturn funds the better. ”
Xu Liang thought so and said no more.
After a few brief chats, Jiang Xiaoyang hung up the phone.
Dong dong….< br>
There was a knock on the door.
"Come in."
Lu Hui opened the door and walked in.
"Mr. Xu, the time has come, we should set off."
Xu Liang nodded, today is the day of the land auction of the Xiangjiang Land Department.
He has signed up in advance and got a sign.
After looking at the No. 28 card in his hand, he took Lu Hui and walked in.
There are hundreds of seats in the hall, which is about 200 square meters.
When they came in, it was already mostly full.
Xu Liang didn’t move forward and found a corner to sit down.
Although his reputation as the richest man has spread all over the world, it is limited to the less developed information dissemination method in this era.
There are no clear photos of him on the Internet, and his rise has been short, so people basically don’t know him.
"Mr. Xu, there are many people here today." Lu Hui said in a low voice.
“Today the Heung Kong Lands Department put up six pieces of land for auction, including prime locations at the Kowloon MTR station. Naturally, Heung Kong Real Estate Company responded to the request.”
Lv Hui’s clear point nodded.
At this moment, a tall, smiling middle-aged man strode in from outside.
Seeing him, most people in the auction hall stood up.
Looking at the star-studded opponent, Lu Hui asked curiously: "Mr. Xu, who is this person, so popular?"
"Huo Jianning, general manager of Xiangjiang Changshi Real Estate. " Xu Liang said.
In two lifetimes combined, he has also known many business leaders in Xiangjiang.
Lu Hui suddenly realized that he was Li Jiacheng’s number one Ma Chai.
Because of Changshi's status, Huo Jianning sat directly at the front of the auction hall.
Time passed little by little, and the auction hall gradually filled up.
It’s nine o’clock in the morning.
The person in charge of the auction from the Lands Department walked up to the podium.
“Welcome to this auction, I am Li Chenghai from the Lands Department, in charge of this auction.”
After a brief introduction, no time was wasted.
The information about the first land appeared on the big screen at the back.
“The first parcel of land is located in Shatin, with a land area of 37,100 square feet and a base price of HK$25 million. Each increase in price shall not be less than one million Hong Kong dollars. Companies interested in this parcel of land are invited to bid.”
"Eagle 26 million Hong Kong dollars."
"Wharf 27 million."......
Xu Liang watched this scene with interest. To be honest, this was his first time seeing an official land auction.
Not long after, this piece of land in Sha Tin was auctioned by Cheung Kong at an auction price of HK$65 million.
The second case followed.
This is a piece of land in Tsuen Wan, not too big at 3490 feet.
Because of the good location, Hang Lung bought it for 26 million.
Soon we arrived at the third and fourth blocks.
After the initial interest passed, Xu Liang didn’t pay any more attention.
At the fifth block, I finally arrived at the block of land No. 35, Baijia Road that I was interested in. "Next to be auctioned is the mansion plot at No. 35 Barker Road, with a land area of 36,675 square feet. It is commissioned by the Hui family in Hong Kong. The base price is HK$100 million. Each increase in price shall not be less than HK$2 million. Interested parties are invited to bid."
The Lands Department official who temporarily acted as auctioneer had just finished speaking.
"One hundred and fifty million Hong Kong dollars."
The sudden increase in price attracted everyone's attention instantly.
The same goes for Xu Liang.
But he was sitting in the back and couldn't see what the other person looked like.
But from the whispers of the people nearby, we knew that the person who took action was Li Jiacheng, the youngest son of his fourth uncle Li Zhaoji.
Photographed by the huge Henderson Group and the reputation of his fourth uncle Li Zhaoji, no one bid in the entire auction hall for a while.
Just when Xu Liang couldn't help but speak.
“One hundred and sixty million Hong Kong dollars.”
The representative of Hang Lung Group raised the sign in his hand.
Although Hang Lung Properties is not as good as New World, Sun Hung Kai, Cheung Kong Holdings and Henderson Land, it has rich experience in developing luxury land parcels and is a second-tier real estate developer in Hong Kong.
"Two hundred million Hong Kong dollars."
Li Jiacheng said directly.
This attitude of directly throwing money at it makes people who originally wanted to compete can't help but wait and see.
They are here to buy land, not to be taken advantage of.
Since the financial crisis in 1997, the real estate market in Xiangjiang has been tepid.
Real estate developers rarely make big bets.
As for Cheung Kong, they are more concerned about the final Kowloon plot.
"Two hundred million Hong Kong dollars, are there any bidders? Two hundred million Hong Kong dollars..."
"Two hundred and ten million."
A clear voice came from behind. Come, let it reach everyone’s ears clearly.
People can't help but turn their heads and look back.
Soon, a young man wearing black-rimmed glasses, a black long-sleeved sweater, gray sweatpants and white sneakers, who was out of tune with the surrounding suits and ties, came into view.
“Who is he?”
Most people find him unfamiliar.
The auctioneer didn’t know him either, but he was very happy when someone raised the auction price.
"Mr. No. 28 bids 210 million. Is there anything higher?"
As he spoke, he looked at Li Jiacheng.
The latter raised the number three card in his hand in his expectant eyes.
“Two hundred and fifty million.”
“Two hundred and fifty million, Mr. Li No. 3 bids two hundred and fifty million.”
With joy, the auctioneer's tone became louder and he directly named Li Jiacheng's name.
After he finished speaking, everyone’s eyes focused on Xu Liang again.
After smiling slightly at everyone's gaze, Xu Liang raised the bidding sign in his hand.
“Two hundred and sixty million.”
“Two hundred and sixty million, Mr. No. 28 offered 260 million.”
The auctioneer raised his head high, like a crowing rooster, and his voice was particularly high-pitched.
Li Jiacheng slowly turned his head and frowned.
At the current market price, even for a rare luxury land plot like Barker Road, 260 million is a bit high.
If he increases it to 300 million, the old man probably won’t look good on him when he goes back.
But if you give up like this, you will feel a little unwilling.
"Two hundred and seventy million."
When Xu Liang heard this, he couldn't help but smile.
The previous increase of 40 to 50 million was a domineering one, seeming to overwhelm all competitors. Now it suddenly drops, which naturally gives people the impression of shrinking.
Xu Liang did not wait for the auctioneer to ask, and directly raised the No. 28 plate in his hand.
“Two hundred and eighty million.”
With a huge cash flow of US$2.5 billion, he is not afraid to compete with anyone.
"Two hundred and ninety million." Li Jiacheng hesitated for a moment and then increased the price again.
Xu Liang didn’t wait for his words to fall to the ground.
“Three hundred million Hong Kong dollars.”
‘Wow’.
Intensive discussion suddenly sounded.
Two hundred million and three hundred million are two completely different concepts.
“Where did this cross-river dragon come from? It doesn’t even give the Li family face?”
“I don’t know, I guess it’s from the mainland. Now it’s developed there too, There are many rich people, and even more people come to Xiangjiang to buy houses. But it is really rare for someone to be willing to spend 300 million Hong Kong dollars to buy land. "
Everyone is talking about it.
The auctioneer on the stage was flushed with excitement, as if a promotion and salary increase were just around the corner.
“Three hundred million Hong Kong dollars, three hundred million Hong Kong dollars, is there anything higher?”
Under the attention of everyone, Li Jiacheng hesitated for a long time, and finally gave up.
Too high, it has exceeded his psychological price.
The auctioneer shouted for a while, but after no more bids were seen, he lowered the auction hammer with some regret.
"Congratulations to Mr. No. 28, for buying the luxury land at No. 35 Barker Road for HK$300 million. Congratulations."
The auctioneer took the initiative to applaud, and most of the people around him also applauded politely.
Xu Liang stood up, smiled at everyone and nodded, then sat down.
“I don’t know what to call this gentleman?” Huo Jianning asked with a smile.
"Xu Liang, President of Red Rock Fund."
Huo Jianning's eyes flashed with a glimmer of light.
My name is Xu Liang, and he can spend 300 million Hong Kong dollars. There seems to be only one person in China who can do it.
Thanks to the book friend "Why can't I choose any name" for the 200 starting coins reward, thank you very much!
