Chapter 357 Kunpeng Fund
“There is one more thing I want to ask you.”
“What?”
“Help me re-register a hedge fund under Hanhua Fund——Kunpeng Fund”
Jiang Xiaoyang understood instantly that Xu Liang was going to make a big move again.
"Have you discovered a new investment opportunity?"
"That's right. But this time it's not private equity, but futures." Xu Liang smiled.
"Futures?"
"That's right."
"I remember that you have never been exposed to futures, right? Are you sure you can make money?"
"Take back the 'sure'. When have you ever seen me fight a battle that I wasn't sure of?"
Jiang Xiaoyang thought the same thing, and his anxiety quickly calmed down.
“I believe you, but customers may not believe you.”
“It doesn’t matter. The opportunity is given to them, and whether they can seize it or not is their own business. In the end, they made money, and they are greedy. It’s not our fault,” Xu Liang said.
Jiang Xiaoyang nodded and asked: "How much money do you plan to raise?"
"There is no limit. The fund will be closed before the end of the year. It counts as much as you have."
It is already September.
There are still a little more than three months until the end of 2002, which is enough time to notify all the major customers of Hanhua.
“Understood, I will put up the fund’s framework as soon as possible.”
“Notify me of any news in time.”
"Yes."
After chatting with Jiang Xiaoyang for a while about Kunpeng's situation, Xu Liang hung up the phone.
Turn on the computer and subconsciously turned to Vivendi's folder.
The assets made him drool.
Let’s not talk about the public utilities part. Although the scale is large, the profits are very low.
The media and communications part is what really interests him.
And it is very consistent with Hongmeng’s pan-entertainment business.
Canal+: Europe's largest pay cable TV station (ie France 4) and Europe's second largest film and television producer.
Universal Pictures, the world's second largest producer of legendary films, television and entertainment programs after Warner Bros.
Universal Theme Park has currently built four world-class theme entertainment parks in the United States, Spain, and Japan, with more than 10 million visitors every year. It is the second largest theme park brand in the world after Disney.
Havas Publishing Group is a world-renowned publishing, news and multimedia practitioner. It owns 60 publishing houses and 80 newspapers and publications, with annual sales of 80 million books, 5 million newspapers and magazines, and 40 million multimedia CDs. , the world's top publishing giant.
Universal Music Group, the world's largest music group, holds 22% of the world's music market.
Vivendi Games, its main brands are Blizzard and Snow Mountain.
Blizzard won’t talk about it.
"Diablo", "Warcraft", and "StarCraft" are famous in the global gaming industry.
Snow Mountain owns the world's first graphic adventure game "Puzzle House" and the world's top shooting game "Half-Life".
In addition to the above, Vivendi Global also has telecommunications business, investment business, incubator and other businesses, but Xu Liang is not too interested in them.
"If only I had 30 billion US dollars in hand now, I would definitely acquire all the entertainment assets of Vivendi."
Xu Liang said.
Although he thought so, he also knew it.
Even if he really had that much money, he wouldn't be able to acquire so many companies.
Without it, politics does not allow it.
After a while, Xu Liang suppressed his greed.
“Let’s take it step by step, and win the Vidhivan game with the greatest potential first.
Let’s see if there is a chance to buy Universal Music next year.”
Now that the global music market has been hit by online music, revenue has dropped sharply, and companies worth tens of billions of dollars have devalued by more than half, coupled with Vivendi's current predicament.
The possibility of them selling Universal Music is extremely high.
Of course, we still need to talk about whether it can be won.
——
The next day, Xu Liang just had breakfast.
Lu Jue came over.
"Mr. Xu, we have made an appointment with the municipal government to meet at the municipal government compound at 9:30 tomorrow morning."
Xu Liang nodded.
“Has the preliminary development plan for the new land been made now?”
“It has been made.”
Xu Liang's eyes lit up. He originally asked casually, after all, the land had just been taken over not long ago.
"Do you have any drawings?"
"There are no detailed drawings, just a partial sketch."
"A sketch will do, let me take a look."
Lu Jue handed over the information he brought.
"The plot at No. 8 Century Avenue is very large, with an area of 64,000 square meters. We plan to build a twin tower of about 300 meters."
Xu Liang nodded, "Why three hundred meters ?”
“The Modu City Government has plans for the skyline of Lujiazui, Pudong. Only three super high-rise buildings are allowed to be built. One is the Jinmao Tower, one is the World Financial Center that we bought, and the other one is still there. Planning.
Except for these three, the height of other buildings cannot exceed them."
Xu Liang understood.
Recalling the Pudong buildings in my previous life, it seems that this is really the case.
“Communicate with the city government and build as high as possible if allowed.”
Although Xu Liang has no particular interest in super high-rise buildings.
But he also knows it very well. An eye-catching and famous building is more likely to attract major international companies to move in.
If the floor is too low and becomes invisible to everyone, its value will not be that high.
"Understood. Mr. Xu, what name should we give this project?"
Xu Liang thought for a while, "Let's call it 'Thaihua Times Center'."
The Magic City Global Financial Center acquired from Mori Building Co., Ltd. has been renamed 'Taihua Global Center'.
The two projects are separated by the Jin Mao Tower.
Looking at the information in his hand, Xu Liang continued: "There is also a shopping mall planned on the ground floor?"
Lu Jue nodded.
“We are adjacent to CP Shopping Mall. If we plan a shopping mall, we can form a linkage advantage with CP. Moreover, Jin Mao Tower also has a ground floor shopping mall, plus our Global Center.
Four large shopping malls Together, it can form a pedestrian street focusing on high-end shopping, similar to Nanjing West Road. Coupled with the superior geographical location, the commercial advantages are even more obvious."
Xu Liang nodded, Lu Jue's plan is indeed very good. Makes sense.
Linked large-scale shopping pedestrian streets indeed attract more customers than individual shopping malls.
Especially in a prime location like Lujiazui.
“Has the design drawing of Taihua Shopping Center been made?”
“It’s still being done.”
“Again, all shopping malls under Taihua In the central part, the appearance design must be unified, what we need to do is the brand.”
"Understood."
"By the way, Mr. Xu. The follow-up construction plan and budget for the Taihua Global Center [Magic City Global Financial Center] have been made."
Speaking, Lu Jue He took out a piece of information and handed it over.
“According to your requirements, Taihua Global Center has been redesigned.
Land area: 30,000 square meters.
Covered area: 14,400 square meters.
Number of building floors: 94 floors above ground and 3 floors underground.
Total building area: 493316 square meters.
Among them, there are three underground floors, covering 43,200 square meters, and six floors above ground, which serve as the podium of a commercial shopping center with an area of 81,400 square meters. ”
Although the Taihua Global Center still maintains a height of 460 meters, it has not been raised as high as the later Shanghai World Financial Center. But Xu Liang changed the architectural appearance of the 'Taihua Global Center'. Then it looks like a corkscrew or a saber.
Instead, it became a straight up and down rectangular parallelepiped.
Although the shape is a little more ordinary, the building area is larger than that of the ‘Magic City World Financial Center’.
“In terms of project construction, half of it has been completed by Mori Building Co., Ltd. If the remaining part is started at full capacity, the entire construction can be completed in two years.
In terms of project cost, per square meter About 130 million Huaxia coins
About 3 billion Huaxia coins are needed to complete the entire project. ”
Xu Liang understood.
In Shanghai, the construction cost of super high-rise buildings is generally higher than in Beijing.
In 2002, the cost of building one square meter in the Magic City was about 13,000 square meters, while in the capital it was only about 10,000 square meters.
The reason is also very simple. Magic City belongs to the alluvial plain, the soil is soft, and deep pile foundations need to be dug.
The capital city is at the foot of Yanshan Mountain. Digging down is solid rock. The construction conditions are much better than those in the Magic City.
Moreover, the magical city also needs to be prepared for typhoons. In comparison, the typhoons that can reach the capital are basically not very powerful.
“The building area has increased so much, can the original pile foundation project be affordable?”
Lu Jue nodded, “Okay.”
“The podium Can the area be expanded? ”
“You mean the floor space ”
"Yeah."
Xu Liang nodded.
Although in this era, a 100,000-square-meter commercial shopping center is already a giant.
But twenty years later, this area can only be considered just enough. Top shopping malls can easily reach 200,000 to 300,000 square meters, offering a real one-stop shop for eating, drinking, and entertainment.
Therefore, any commercial real estate he wants to self-sustain should be expanded as much as possible.
In particular, commercial properties such as Global Center located in prime locations must be made as large as possible.
"It should be possible, but we need to discuss it with the city's land authorities." Lu Jue said.
Buildings are not built casually, they must be built in accordance with national planning.
“Expand as much as possible without affecting the appearance and use, but not exceeding 20,000 square meters.”
A certain amount of squares will be set aside around commercial properties for greening and parking. and activity square, if it is too conventional, it will lower the grade.
"...Also, the commercial real estate mainly composed of podium buildings is planned to have nine floors, from one underground floor to eight floors above ground. It doesn't need to be too much."
The nine floors combined can guarantee a commercial real estate of about 150,000 yuan. Although the area does not meet Xu Liang's requirements, if it were higher, it would be like going to a shopping mall.
“Okay.”
Xu Liang turned to ask: “Has the construction party of Global Center been found?”
Lu Jue nodded and said: “Still Huaxia Construction Corporation and Modu Construction Company are relatively familiar with the construction of the entire project, and it is easy to get started.”
Xu Liang nodded and said: "When will it be officially launched?"
"In half a month."
Xu Liang thought for a while and nodded.
“What about other projects?”
“Except for China First City and Haitian Plaza (Guangyao Oriental Plaza), which were negotiated later, work will basically resume in September.”
All the buildings started under Hongyan are unfinished buildings, and most of the new land parcels purchased have not been started except for Fengtai Taihua City in the capital.
