Hung Hom Central Business District is obviously destined to become the most prestigious area on the Kowloon Peninsula.
Just a few days after Sioux City and Wei Li visited this area, the ribbon-cutting ceremony for the opening of Hung Hom CBD was successfully held.
The ceremony also attracted all the big guys from Xiangjiang, and even the Governor, Mr. Youde.
After the ribbon-cutting ceremony, the first phase of the Hung Hom Central Business District was officially open for leasing.
Selling property? Impossible to sell!
Don't look at the current housing prices in Xiangjiang, which are already very high in the eyes of many ordinary people.
But Su City knows that the current housing prices are not high at all. Of course, this is compared with the housing prices twenty years from now.
At that time, house prices had increased at least ten times.
Keep these, every building in the future will be a golden mountain!
Su Cheng is full of confidence in the future of Xiangjiang. Why are these buildings being sold to him?
Although if he sells all of them, he will be able to recover tens of billions of Hong Kong dollars for just these nine buildings, but Sioux City is not short of such money.
If it were someone else, they would definitely sell part of it to get the funds back.
But the most abundant thing in Sioux City is cash, so there is no need to worry about the lack of funds.
So, it is most appropriate to hold them all and rent them out.
Here in Xiangjiang, there are many Asian headquarters of the Fortune 500. Many of their headquarters are actually rented. Purchasing properties for headquarters is actually only a small part.
Therefore, there is no shortage of tenants in Hung Hom CBD.
Of course, it can’t be compared to the one in Central.
After all, Central is the first central business district in Hong Kong.
So, the Xiangjiang World Trade Center building in Suzhou City has a very high occupancy rate.
After the opening ceremony, Hung Hom CBD ushered in a wave of leasing.
In just half a month, the occupancy rate of the nine buildings reached 32%.
It doesn’t seem like much, but it’s only been half a month.
The location of these nine buildings is no worse than those in Central District. You can also see the cityscape in Central District and the planes at Kai Tak International Airport two kilometers away. Take off and land.
So, it is naturally favored by many customers who want to rent offices.
When the time came to mid-April, the occupancy rate of the nine buildings was already as high as 51%.
Entering May, the occupancy rate of the nine buildings reached 68%.
Moreover, the occupancy rate will gradually increase in the future. In the future, the occupancy rate will be as high as over 80%, which is not a problem at all!
At night, through the internal lighting of the nine buildings, you can see how high the occupancy rate of these nine buildings is.
A bustling business district soon formed here.
Many companies in the financial industry, legal industry and other industries have successively settled in this area
Hung Hom CBD is no longer just a name, but has truly become a business district.
Since the "Joint Statement" was issued in December 1984, Hong Kong's real estate industry has recovered rapidly and rents have continued to rise.
The launch of Hung Hom CBD comes at the right time.
Hutchison Whampoa Group, which manages this area, can make a lot of money just by relying on rent, property fees, etc.
Not to mention, there will be four phases of commercial buildings and a commercial center covering an area of 3 hectares.
These are destined to bring huge profits to Hutchison Whampoa Group in the future.
The first commercial center of the Kowloon Peninsula will gradually shift from Tsim Sha Tsui to Hung Hom.
May 12th, a very ordinary day.
However, in major movie theaters in Xiangjiang, a long-awaited movie in Suzhou City was released.
That is "Zodiac" starring Chen Long.
The filming of this film was much more difficult than imagined, but it has finally been completed successfully.
Since it was a movie that the boss of Sioux City had high hopes for, the filming team also put a lot of effort into it.
It wasn’t until this movie satisfied many people that I decided to show it.
The film tells the story of a large number of precious cultural relics that have been lost overseas, among which the four zodiac animal heads have attracted the most attention.
Controversies continue at home and abroad, and some collectors are bidding for these treasures at sky-high prices.
Taking this as an opportunity, the international thief JC and his team went to Paris together for huge profits and sought the help of Coco, an expert in national treasure appraisal. After a thrilling and intense fight and chase, JC's patriotism, which had been wiped out by profit and money, gradually awakened. story.
It was originally planned to be filmed in half a year, but unexpectedly it ended up taking more than a year.
However, as long as it looks good, Su Cheng doesn’t care if it takes longer.
At three o'clock in the afternoon on May 12, Su Cheng brought Zhong Chuhong, Gillian, Ah Mei, and Guan Jiahui to the Ritz Cinema in Tseung Kwan O.
Here, a separate movie playback room is provided specifically for Su Cheng and others, which is a private room.
At the beginning of the story, the background appears. When the British and French forces burned down the Old Summer Palace, a large number of precious cultural relics were lost overseas. Among them, the four zodiac animal heads were particularly eye-catching. They not only caused an uproar in the public opinion field at home and abroad, but also attracted collectors to compete. Make a bid and bid sky-high prices on these treasures.
At the same time, some greedy cultural relic dealers are also ready to steal these national treasures through illegal means.
Taking this as an opportunity, the international thief JC, who is enjoying his vacation, appears.
JC is followed by a super-professional team consisting of Simon, David, Bonnie and other experts. They go to Paris together to seek the assistance of Coco, a national treasure appraisal expert.
After careful planning and careful preparation, JC and his team gradually approached the closely guarded animal head, and what followed was a series of thrilling and extremely hot fights and chases.
During this treasure hunt, JC's patriotic heart, which seemed to have been corrupted by interests and money, gradually began to recover.
What satisfied Su Cheng and others the most was the fighting scene inside.
Su Cheng compared this movie with the "Twelve Zodiacs" he knew in his previous life. He was surprised to find that although it was different in many places, the shooting was not inferior to the original. That "Zodiac" didn't appear until more than twenty years later.
After all, the reason is naturally because Chen Long is now at his peak and in his prime.
After 2012, Chen Long has entered his old age, and his movements are no longer as flexible as they are now.
After watching this movie, Su Cheng, Zhong Chuhong, Guan Jiahui and others all thought it was very enjoyable. The release of this movie is destined to achieve very good results.
As expected, time quietly came to June 12, one month after "Zodiac" was officially released.
The box office statistics are also shocking.
The movie box office in Xiangjiang alone earned HK$52.03 million, and the Haojiang side also achieved good results of more than HK$2 million.
In Wanwan, this movie has been greatly welcomed. Both sides of the Taiwan Strait share the same ancestors and culture, and they are deeply touched by this.
In the end, Wanwan's box office for the whole month, converted into Hong Kong dollars, actually reached 132 million Hong Kong dollars.
It can be seen that the market in Wanwan is much larger than that in Xiangjiang.
But this is normal. Xiangjiang is only so big. Although its population has reached 7 million, it is still at a disadvantage in terms of population compared with Wanwan. After all, Wanwan already has nearly 20 million people at this time. population.
In addition, Wanwan is now in a period of rapid development. The development speed is not much worse than that of Xiangjiang. Everyone's economic conditions are good, so naturally the box office is much higher.
In addition, it has also achieved very good results in Singapore, Malaysia and other places in Southeast Asia.
Compared to Wanwan, Nanyang has a larger population, and it is ridiculously large, more than ten times that of Wanwan.
However, the audience was mainly Chinese, so in the end, Nanyang’s box office revenue was HK$285 million.
Just these places, relying on this movie, made a lot of money Earned.
Not to mention the European and American markets and the Japanese market.
Chen Long now also has a high reputation in Europe and the United States. His influence is not inferior to that of Bruce Lee in the past. He is called the "King of Kung Fu" by Western media and is a famous international kung fu movie star.
Therefore, the film he shot was indeed welcomed by many people in Europe and the United States.
Although due to the background story, audiences in Europe and the United States have mixed reviews of "Zodiac".
Some viewers think that the movie has a compact plot and exciting action scenes, making it a movie worth watching; while some viewers think that the movie is too preachy and lacks new ideas.
However, in any case, Chen Long's professionalism and love for action movies shown in the movie are worthy of recognition.
But that doesn’t stop it from making a lot of money overseas.
In the end, the North American market achieved a good result of 55 million US dollars, and Europe also achieved a good result of 46 million US dollars. Over in Japan, the final box office was similar to that of Wanwan, exceeding 100 million Hong Kong dollars. After all, this is also the East It’s normal that Europe and the United States don’t like cultural stories very much.
In short, thanks to this movie, Jiayi Film Company has also made a lot of money. Although the investment is not low, compared with the harvest, the profit is already very good.
Due to the good results, Jiayi Film Company finally decided to postpone the screening of the film for one month.
The broadcast of the movie "Twelve Zodiac Signs" is destined to attract a lot of media attention.
These film media people analyzed the reasons for the success of this film from various angles.
For this reason, "Oriental Daily" specially collected the main comments about the film from the audience.
First of all, the storyline of the movie is compact and full of adventure elements. It revolves around the search for the twelve zodiac animal head bronze statues that were lost overseas.

This process is full of thrills and excitement, and also incorporates some humorous elements, making the whole story more lively and interesting.
As a movie starring Chen Long, action scenes are naturally an indispensable highlight.
Chen Long showed his iconic action designs in the movie, including classic actions such as punching to the flesh, flying over the wall, etc., which made the audience thoroughly addicted.
In addition, there are some difficult stunts in the movie, which not only tested Chen Long's physical fitness, but also showed his persistence and professionalism in action movies.
Actor Performance In addition to Chen Long, other actors in the movie also performed well.
The villain played by Chow Yun-fat is threatening and his performance is impressive.
In another world, this role was not played by Zhou Runfa, but because the time was more than 20 years earlier, it is not surprising that Zhou Runfa became an actor in it.
The addition of characters such as Coco, a national treasure appraisal expert, also adds a lot of color to the movie.
In addition, there are some representative animal images in the movie, such as tigers, snakes, monkeys, etc. These animal images are vivid and cute, adding a bit of mystery to the movie.
The production level of the movie is also very high, with beautiful pictures, scene design and prop production with great care.
Especially during the search for the bronze statue, many scenes and props with Chinese characteristics appeared in the movie. These elements made the movie more interesting and closer to the audience.
In addition, the film’s sound effects and soundtrack are also excellent, bringing the audience a more immersive viewing experience.
The film incorporates traditional Chinese cultural elements, such as the twelve zodiac signs, gossip, etc. These elements not only add cultural heritage to the film, but also allow the audience to better understand Chinese culture.
At the same time, the movie also conveys positive values, such as protecting cultural heritage and promoting the spirit of patriotism. These elements make the movie more profound and connotative.
After the movie played, the audience began to discuss a question.
That is, where are the real bronze statues of the twelve zodiac animal heads now?
At this moment, they all understood that these twelve bronze statues were not only national treasure-level cultural relics, but also historical witnesses of China's invasion.
Because of this, these twelve bronze statues are deeply imprinted in people's hearts and have become a topic of great concern to everyone.
If in the past, if you randomly asked a citizen on the streets of Xiangjiang for information about the bronze statues of animal heads of the twelve zodiac animals, they might be at a loss.
But now, basically no one knows about it.
Not only Xiangjiang, but most Chinese around the world now know about these national treasures and cultural relics.
However, what is confusing is that no one knows the exact whereabouts of these bronze statues.
Could it be that they are still in the hands of the eight countries that invaded back then?
Many local Chinese went to the museum to explore with high hopes, but came back with regret and found nothing.
Or maybe these bronze statues have been collected by private collectors?
This speculation has been recognized by many people.
But in any case, these are just speculations, and the truth remains a mystery.
As a result, the bronze statue of the twelve zodiac animal heads has unknowingly become a national treasure in everyone's mind.
However, these national treasures are now scattered overseas, which is deeply regrettable.
More patriots have made strong calls, hoping to recover these national treasures so that they can return to the land of China and no longer wander in foreign lands.
Public opinion is growing.
Many Chinese people in Hong Kong, Nanyang, Europe and the United States will discuss this topic.
Everyone is here, where are these twelve zodiac animal head bronze statues?
In the future, will it be possible to collect these twelve bronze statues and return them to the Old Summer Palace? (End of this chapter)
