After more than ten days of separation, Lin Haoran couldn't help but feel a strong homesickness in his heart.
In the past, his attachment to his family was not deep. After all, those women were just his lovers, and his parents were gone, which meant that he was actually the only one left in the family.
However, since the first baby was born in the family, everything has quietly changed.
A seed called "concern" began to be planted in his heart.
With the arrival of the second and third children one after another, this seed not only took root and sprouted, but also thrived, turning into a strong sense of responsibility and deep longing.
Whenever he was away from home, his heart was filled with infinite attachment to his children and his mother, which was a sweet yet slightly sad taste.
Perhaps, this is the price of growth and the most precious emotional experience in life - because of love, we have responsibility; because of responsibility, we cherish the warmth of home even more.
Therefore, after enjoying a few days of family reunion, Su Cheng turned his attention back to company affairs.
Thanks to the efficient management of his capable assistants, he was able to comfortably play the role of the man behind the scenes without having to interfere too much in the day-to-day operations.
As for possible betrayal and corruption within the company, he understands that this is a dark side that cannot be completely avoided.
However, Sioux City has already laid out a dragnet. Through the informants in various companies and the intelligence team led by Brother Wu, it has successfully exposed and dealt with many corruption cases among middle-level and even high-level managers, ensuring that these worms are punished by law and sent to prison one by one. prison.
Whenever such an incident is exposed, Sioux City will have people report it within all its companies as a warning to all employees and emphasize the importance of corporate culture of integrity.
Fortunately, so far, no such problems have occurred in the core leadership of various groups and companies, which is also due to his strict supervision and prevention mechanism.
However, once a senior leader touches a red line, he will never be lenient and will be severely punished in accordance with company regulations and laws.
It is this determination and fairness that allows him to safely leave the company to the independent development of the team, while maintaining a keen insight into and effective control of potential risks.
These managers who are qualified for top positions are all the best in the industry. Their talents and abilities in business management far exceed Sioux City itself.
It can be said that if Su City had not had the extraordinary help of Xiao Ai, even with his limited predictability and hard work, he might have only been able to achieve a small career in the Xiangjiang area and become a minor celebrity. rich man.
However, the twist of fate lies in Su Cheng's time-travel journey, and the "golden finger" of Xiao Ai that comes with it.
This change completely rewritten the trajectory of his life, making his achievements seem to have wings and quickly climb to unprecedented heights.
In just a few years, he not only achieved a leap in personal wealth, but also emerged on the global business stage and became a pivotal business giant.
All of this is thanks to the help provided by Xiao Ai, so that his dreams and visions can surpass his imagination and become a reality.
The welfare of the time traveler allowed him to achieve unimaginable achievements.
On September 15, Su Cheng stepped into the office building of Tianqi Property Company.
The company is currently helmed by the new general manager Zhong Xun, who has been working diligently in this position for more than a year.
The properties managed by Tianqi Property mainly stem from Sioux City’s far-sighted investments from 1978 to 1979. The properties he carefully selected and purchased during that period have now become an important part of his assets.
Since then, Tianqi Property has not significantly expanded its property footprint, but has focused on the optimization and management of existing properties.
Because Su City knows that in the next two years, real estate will rise like crazy and will soon fall sharply.
During that time, Su Cheng knew it in advance with his keen prophetic ability. When the real estate market in Xiangjiang was still immature, he took decisive action and purchased a large number of properties.
At that time, the total market value of these properties had reached more than 10 billion Hong Kong dollars, demonstrating his extraordinary vision and courage.
Now, time flies. From 1979 to 1981, Xiangjiang’s real estate industry experienced unprecedented booming development, and housing prices soared like wild horses running wild.
Every penny of capital invested by Sioux City in the past was like a seed sown, which, with the nourishment of time, bore numerous fruits.
According to current real estate price estimates, the total value of properties that were once worth more than 100 million Hong Kong dollars has soared to more than 40 billion Hong Kong dollars, which is breathtaking.
The main business of Tianqi Property Company has now transformed into professional property leasing and rental management.
Relying on the high-quality property resources at hand, the company operates stably and continues to bring considerable profits to Sioux City.
This investment story not only witnessed the rapid growth of Su Cheng's personal wealth, but also profoundly reflected the vicissitudes of the real estate market in Hong Kong in the past two years.
"Boss, please take a look. This is our rent collection summary for last month." Zhong Xun handed the prepared rent collection report to Su Cheng with a respectful face.
Su Cheng nodded lightly and took the report, his eyes quickly passing between the numbers.
Tianqi Property Company performed very well last month, with rental income reaching as high as 232 million Hong Kong dollars. The rental income from these properties alone has exceeded the 200 million mark, which is really extraordinary.
However, compared to the income from rent collection, the increase in real estate value itself is the most terrifying thing.
Looking at these figures, Su Cheng secretly lamented that the value of these properties had increased almost exponentially, allowing him to inadvertently make tens of billions of Hong Kong dollars.
However, he also knew that the current prosperity was just part of the market's cyclical fluctuations and would soon collapse.
"Well, Manager Zhong, you are doing a great job." Su Cheng gently put the report back on the table and encouraged with a smile. "Boss, I have a situation here that I would like to tell you in detail." Zhong Xun sounded cautious.
Su Cheng smiled slightly and encouraged: "Okay, Manager Zhong, just say it."
It is true that he does not come here often and meets Zhong Xun. There are only a handful of times, but every time we meet, we can feel the other party's sincerity and professionalism.
Zhong Xun continued: "I have recently observed that Xiangjiang's real estate market seems to have entered a period of adjustment starting from April to May. Although housing prices have not yet fallen, the upward momentum has significantly weakened, unlike the rapid progress in the past two or three years. Quite different.
What is more noteworthy is that the participation and transaction prices of land auctions have declined. At the same time, I have also noticed that some British-owned consortiums have begun to show signs of withdrawing, which has intensified the market. Uncertainty.
Based on these observations, my personal judgment is that Xiangjiang’s real estate market may be standing at a turning point, with a greater risk of collapse. Of course, this is just my speculation. The situation needs further observation.
But I would like to remind the boss that if we have enough awareness of this risk, we may consider selling some properties in a timely manner before the market collapses to avoid potential crises. Ensure the safety of the company's assets."
After Zhong Xun finished speaking, he seemed a little nervous. After all, such a suggestion involves a major decision of the company and is based on a series of unverified guesses.
But after hearing this, Su Cheng showed a look of approval.
"Manager Zhong, your analysis is very accurate and far-sighted." Su Cheng nodded seriously, "We must maintain a high degree of vigilance and keen insight into changes in the market. Your suggestions I will consider it carefully and make a decision after discussing it with other senior executives. Thank you for being so dedicated to the future development of the company.”
In fact, the first world oil crisis once brought a heavy blow to the real estate market in Xiangjiang. The impact was not small. Many real estate developers suffered heavy losses during the crisis, and some even went bankrupt as a result.
However, crises often also breed opportunities. Those far-sighted real estate developers took advantage of that opportunity to hoard a large number of properties and land at low prices. When the market picked up, the value of these assets soared. brought them rich rewards.
Now, just after the second world oil crisis, oil prices have never fallen sharply since they rose.
Su Cheng is naturally aware of all this, but with his current net worth and status, he no longer needs to accumulate wealth through this method.
More importantly, he understands that excessive speculation may aggravate market turmoil and is not conducive to the healthy development of the Hong Kong real estate market, so he has never planned to sell the property.
However, an idea quietly took shape in his mind.
Since the headquarters of all groups are about to be moved to the new headquarters in Tseung Kwan O, the existing Su Group Building and Jiayi Film and Television Group Building will be mainly used for rental purposes in the future.
Considering the delicate conditions of the current market, he may be able to make a bold decision and sell these two buildings.
Such a move will undoubtedly aggravate the fluctuations in the real estate industry to a certain extent, but Su City has its own considerations.
He knows very well that as giants in the real estate industry in Hong Kong, Jardine Matheson and Land Group, their movements have a decisive impact on the entire market.
The reason why he wants to acquire these two British-owned groups is because they hold a large number of high-quality assets, and these assets are likely to become the key to victory or defeat in future market changes.
By selling two buildings, Suzhou City can not only withdraw some funds and provide more flexible financial support for the development of the group, but also influence market expectations to a certain extent and create favorable conditions for subsequent layout. .
The main business of the Land Group is real estate. Once the real estate industry collapses, the stock price of Land Group will naturally plummet. At that time, he will take advantage of the opportunity to acquire the shares of Land Group at low prices, thus achieving the purpose of controlling Land Group. purpose.
Su Cheng is already the major shareholder of Jardine Matheson and Land Group, and in the past two years, he has been secretly absorbing the stocks of these two groups. The shares in his hands are already very significant. If he is willing, he might A challenge to Land's controlling stake can now be launched.
However, Su Cheng’s goal has always been more than Land Group. He has also set his sights on Jardine. If he launches competition now, then he can only get Land, and the relationship between Jardine Group and Land The mutual holding is still in progress and has not reached the final goal of 40% mutual holding, so he cannot snatch Jardine with the shares he currently holds.
This is too far off topic, it’s not time yet.
"Okay, Manager Lin, you immediately release the news to the outside world, claiming that Tianqi Property Company intends to sell the Su Group Building and the Jiayi Film and Television Group Building. Regarding the reasons for the sale, we remain transparent and directly state that it is because of the group headquarters. The upcoming move to Tseung Kwan O means that these properties will be idle, so the decision to sell them has nothing to do with any other factors.
At the same time, I will communicate with Mr. Yang Chaoye and Ms. Liang Shuyi on this matter to ensure that they understand and support this. One decision." Lin Haoran ordered concisely.
He has a sense of proportion and knows that although the property resources in his hands are abundant, if he sells them all at once, it may have an immeasurable impact on the real estate market in Hong Kong, and may even trigger a collapse. Such consequences are definitely not what he wants to see, and even more so. I don't want to be blamed for this.
Therefore, he chose a more cautious strategy and only sold some properties, such as the Su Group Building and the Jiayi Film and Television Group Building. Such a move could not only bring a certain amount of capital back to the company, but also It affects the market structure to a certain extent, but its impact on the overall market is relatively controllable and is limited to a few consortia that may be interested in it.
In this way, the purpose can be achieved while avoiding unnecessary risks and accusations.
When the real estate crisis breaks out next year, maybe he can buy it back at a very low price again. This purchase and sale will not only slightly accelerate the outbreak of the crisis in the real estate industry in Hong Kong, but it will also invisibly Make a lot of money.
Although Su Cheng has a lot of money now, it is so much that he doesn’t even know how much money he has if he doesn’t keep statistics.
But who thinks he has too much money?
“Okay boss, I will let this matter out today. Although the current market is not as active as before, it should not take long to sell these two buildings, and according to the market According to the price, there should be no problem." Zhong Xun said.
So Group Building, the original Federal International Building, is very famous in Hong Kong. It was the tallest building in Hong Kong for a period of time. This popularity alone can attract many buyers. Interested in purchasing.
As for the Jiayi Film and Television Group Building, the original International Building, it is quite famous in Kowloon.
"Okay, sorry to trouble you, your proposal is very good. After selling these two buildings, I will give you a personal bonus." Su Cheng said with a smile.
Although he knew that the real estate crisis would break out, Zhong Xun was able to sense that the real estate crisis was coming through a few things and reminded his boss to sell the property quickly. This shows that Zhong Xun is very talented. He is tall, and he is also good at giving advice. Such a talent is worthy of his reward.
Zhong Xun was overjoyed and said hurriedly: "Thank you, boss." (End of chapter)
