Chapter 18 [Pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger]
After a while, Manager Li from Ho Tung Properties walked into the room with a stack of envelopes in his hand.
"Everyone, let me tell you about today's bidding rules: I will send each of you an envelope later. You can take out a piece of white paper and write your offer on it, then put it in and give it to me. However,
The minimum price of this piece of land cannot be less than HK$1.2 million. You can add more to it. Anyway, the one with the highest price today will get it."
The following groups of people were immediately frightened. The starting price was already HK$1.2 million, which was a big surprise to them.
Manager Li didn't say much and handed the envelopes to everyone one by one, along with a pen.
When he came to Lin Zhichao, Manager Li said with a smile: "You are the boss Lin who invented strata sales and off-plan sales, right?"
Speaking of which, if it hadn't been for the emergence of stratification and installment, how could this piece of land owned by Ho Tung Properties be so valuable, and how could there be so many people coming to bid for it!
Lin Zhichao said quickly: "It's me, I didn't expect Manager Li to have heard of it too, I'm extremely honored!"
Manager Li showed a friendly expression and said: "You're welcome, now the whole Hong Kong knows you!"
However, he doubted in his heart that Lin Zhichao had the strength to participate in the bidding?
Next, everyone found a corner and prepared to fill in the price.
Some people even ran to the corridor outside the door, thinking hard about a good price that would win the bid and save money at the same time.
Only Lin Zhichao started writing without hesitation.
Not far away, Liao Baoshan was slandering in his heart: "Why are you writing so much, just adding a number! Is it because you want to beg for mercy?"
Lin Zhichao ignored other people's looks and wrote quickly on the paper, first in Cantonese and then in English, then stuffed it into an envelope and handed it to Manager Li.
15 minutes later, Manager Li opened the envelope on the spot and read out the price directly.
"Zhang's Real Estate (Zhang Jun), 1.25 million Hong Kong dollars"
Manager Li showed a contemptuous smile and shook his head.
Zhang Jun below suddenly felt ridiculed and felt very unhappy.
"Liao's Enterprise, 1.3 million Hong Kong dollars." Manager Li nodded slightly, thinking that the price was good and he might win.
Next, I opened a few more envelopes, and the prices were all below 1.3 million. It seemed that everyone was frightened by the price of 1.2 million Hong Kong dollars and did not dare to pay too much.
By chance, there was only the last envelope left, and it didn't take much to think about, it was Lin Zhichao's offer.
"Congratulations, Liao Sheng." Someone has already sent congratulations to Liao Baoshan.
Liao Baoshan smiled, but felt a little nervous, and looked at Manager Li with a serious expression.
Manager Li opened the envelope, frowned, and then read it carefully.
After a long time, Manager Li raised his head and said to everyone: "Everyone, please wait. I need to ask Sir He for instructions and I will give you a reply soon."
After saying that, he walked out the door and left everyone in the conference room.
Suddenly, everyone looked at Lin Zhichao curiously as to what was written in the envelope.
Liao Baoshan also asked: "Lin Sheng, I just saw you wrote a lot, is it another clever trick?"
Lin Zhichao smiled and said: "What a clever trick there is. I'm afraid I will be scolded by Sir He later, because I have no money and don't plan to pay a penny."
Everyone was immediately surprised, and some even said:
"Young people really do things impulsively. Sir He is so easy to offend."
"If you don't have money, you don't have money. If you write a price of 1.2 million, you won't offend anyone and you won't win the bid, so why bother!"
Everyone looked at Lin Zhichao, their eyes revealing your miserable expression.
Only a few people such as Liao Baoshan understood that the matter was by no means that simple. If Lin Zhichao really offended someone, Sir He's manager alone would be enough to scold Lin Zhichao and drive him out. Sir He still needed to be alarmed.
.
The other side.
Manager Li knocked on Ho Tung's office and walked in.
Ho Tung, who is 85 years old this year, is still struggling on the front line of business. Although he has three sons, he currently has no successor around him. The one he values most is still in the G Army.
"The results are there, what's the highest price?" He Dong asked seriously. Although one million is not a big sum of money for him, he always pays attention to details, even if it is a business of tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands,
I will also ask questions personally.
Manager Li handed Lin Zhichao's letter to Ho Tung and said: "This is a cooperation plan written by Lin Zhichao, the man who invented stratified sales and off-plan sales. He did not make a direct quotation, but gave a cooperation plan. I think it is quite interesting.
, I just wanted to show it to you."
He Dong became interested and said, "Let me take a look!"
"It's still in both Chinese and English, it looks like it's thoughtful!" Ho Tung praised it at the first glance.
Next, He Dong looked at it seriously. The more he looked at it, the more interesting it became, but he was also a little confused.
Then, he stood up directly and said, "Let's go meet him!"
"good"
After a while, when Ho Tung came to the conference room, everyone inside said respectfully: "Sir Ho" with very respectful expressions.
Lin Zhichao just tasted it briefly, without losing his politeness and neither being humble nor overbearing.
He Dong came to Lin Zhichao and praised him: "He is indeed a talented person with a magnificent spirit." After saying this, he showed an expression of appreciation.
At this time, others were shocked. How did Lin Zhichao get the approval of the boss?
Lin Zhichao said quickly: "Sir He is so grateful. You are the best among people and the pride of us Chinese in Hong Kong."
Everyone despised Lin Zhichao in their hearts. Just now he was pretending to be neither humble nor arrogant, but now he is flattering Lin Zhichao unequivocally.
Ho Tung likes to hear others praise him for being the pride of Hong Kong Chinese, just like he has considered himself Chinese since he was a child.
"Okay, then you can talk about your cooperation method here, so that everyone can understand clearly, so as not to say that I am unfair."
Lin Zhichao was overjoyed. Ho Tung's words had already revealed that the land was handed over to him for development.
"Yes, Sir He. My plan is: Sir He and I will jointly set up a real estate company. Sir He will own 55% of the shares in the land, and our Changjiang Real Estate will account for 45% of the subsequent construction fees, taxes and other expenses. This
The project is developed by Changjiang Real Estate, and Sir He only needs to sit back and enjoy the dividends. We, Changjiang Real Estate, promise that Sir He will receive at least 1.8 million in funds, of which 1.3 million is land fee, and the other 500,000 is profit, and it will be completed within 24 months
.At the same time, we are willing to pay Sir He 500,000 profit in advance within one month of signing the contract. When the house is officially sold early next year, Sir He can continue to receive dividend funds."
For a moment, there was total silence.
Many people took a breath, because in this case, did Lin Zhichao quote HK$1.8 million?
That’s a full HK$500,000 higher than Liao Baoshan!
But there are a few people who understand. Liao Baoshan immediately said: "In this project cooperation, Lin Sheng has no intention of paying at all. You want the bank to lend you a large sum of money, and the collateral is this piece of land.
"
Everyone looked at Lin Zhichao in disbelief, like a monster.
Only Lin Zhichao said sincerely to Ho Tung: "Sir Ho Tung, anyway, the land you sold today is only 1.3 million Hong Kong dollars, and I can guarantee that you will get back a total of 1.8 million in two years, which is obviously much higher than bank interest."
After Lin Zhichao finished speaking, Sir Ho Tung patted him on the shoulder and said: "You don't need to explain so much. I am a very knowledgeable person. Since I can earn an extra 500,000 Hong Kong dollars, why not do it!"
At the same time, Ho Tung said to others: "Thank you all for participating in this bidding. Now please come back! Hong Kong real estate has been revitalized by this young man. You have many opportunities, so you don't have to dwell on this failure."
"
"Yes, Sir He!"
"Goodbye Sir Ho!"
Everyone left the scene one after another, not daring to say anything. Of course, they were all thinking about Lin Zhichao's ability to finally get the cooperation - can real estate be played like this?
Lin Zhichao was invited to Ho Tung's office and sat for a while, talking about topics unrelated to real estate. Finally, Ho Tung gave him a business card, which was of great significance.
As for the 40,000-square-foot land cooperation in Happy Valley, both parties agreed on a time to go to the law firm to formally sign the contract.
