In fact, the Hong Kong stock market has been in a slump since Mrs. Thatcher fell down in front of the Great Hall of the People two months ago. Fortunately, China and Britain are still negotiating, and citizens are waiting and watching, and they still have reservations in their hearts.
With a hint of luck.
After entering November, the first round of the first phase of the Sino-British negotiations is about to end. Spokespersons from both sides spoke very cryptically. But it can still be seen from between the lines that the negotiations have reached a stalemate. There has been no progress in the negotiations in the past two months.
No progress at all.
The British threatened that Hong Kong would fall into chaos once China took back Hong Kong, and began to create public opinion in Hong Kong and fan the flames. The Hong Kong stock market was only falling slowly in the first two months, and the Hang Seng Index fell from 941 points to 703 points in three days.
, and is still falling.
Real estate companies suffered the worst fall. While the stock market fell, property and land prices in Hong Kong also plummeted. The bidding price for an industrial land in Kowloon Bay, Hong Kong, fell from 150 million to 15 million.
More than 90%.
Why have land prices in Hong Kong dropped so absurdly?
Because according to the "New Territories Lease" signed between the Qing government and the United Kingdom, it was stipulated that the New Territories would be returned to China after ninety-nine years (1997). This left the legal period for the New Territories land sold by the British government to only more than ten years.
The term "1997 Deadline" has become popular in Hong Kong, which roughly means that all land purchased in the New Territories will be confiscated by China in 1997.
Who dares to buy it?
In addition, last year the United Kingdom promulgated the "British Nationality Act 1981", which stipulates that anyone born in a British territory is eligible to become a British citizen, but one parent must be a British citizen or settled in the United Kingdom.
The introduction of this bill caused a wave of immigration in Hong Kong last year. Many Hong Kong people applied to immigrate to the UK in order for their children to become British citizens. This move caused the Hong Kong property market to plummet last year, and then gradually stabilized, but now because of the British
Hong Kong drives public opinion. The immigration wave in Hong Kong has erupted again, further driving the Hong Kong property market to plummet.
…
Phoenix TV station, in Kang Jianfei's office.
Mr. Wang Kuang said straight to the point: "Kang Xiaoyou, the British public opinion is fierce this time. I hope your TV station can cooperate with Xinhua News Agency."
"What kind of cooperation law?" Kang Jianfei asked. To be honest, he didn't want to get involved in this kind of thing. After all, the British government would rule Hong Kong for more than ten years.
Wang Kuang said with a smile: "It's not that your TV station needs to express its support for our party. It just needs to objectively promote China's policies on the TV station. It can be summed up in six words: 'The horse will run, the dance will dance'. The Chinese government
Commitment that the system will remain unchanged after Hong Kong is taken back."
Kang Jianfei thought for a while and said, "Is this okay? I'll invite the editor-in-chief of Wen Wei Po and the vice president of Yindu Organization to be guests. Let's go to "Qiang Qiang Three People" to talk slowly and let them publicize the Communist Party's views on Hong Kong.
Policy. In addition, I can also help you promote it appropriately on news programs."
Seeing Kang Jianfei's cooperation, Wang Kuang said happily: "The party and the people will never forget Mr. Kang's contribution to the reunification of the motherland."
After sending Wang Kuang away, Kang Jianfei sighed and called the person in charge below to give instructions.
Now at the most important moment of the first round of the first phase of the Sino-British negotiations, both China and the UK are playing the crowd card in an attempt to bring the Hong Kong people to their side.
In the past few days, Hong Kong's pro-Chinese and pro-British newspapers have once again started a war, and even Jin Yong's "Ming Pao" has been involved.
More than ten years ago, Jin Yong was called "Jackal and Wolf Yong" by Hong Kong's left-wing newspapers. The original words were "The best traitor is the courageous Jackal and Wolf Yong, but he is an evil dog with a traitorous nature and dampness."
But at this time, "Ming Pao" was clearly on the side of the mainland, becoming comrades with Hong Kong's leftist newspapers, and sparing no effort to promote the CCP's policies - Jin Yong was personally received by Deng Gong last year.
Contrary to the position of "Ming Pao", this time Shao Yifu's TVB is biased towards the British side. After all, Shao Yifu was knighted by the Queen of England.
Kang Jianfei even speculated very viciously: Shao Yifu, who has always been stingy, suddenly decided to donate 100 million yuan to China every year to help students a few years before Hong Kong's return. Could it be that he was showing goodwill to the mainland to cover up his previous help to the British?
Do you have a criminal record for what you are talking about?
Wireless TV station helped the British propaganda, and Kang Jianfei's Phoenix TV station was naturally favored by the Communist Party and became a public opinion weapon against the wireless station.
Public opinions from the outside world have attracted the attention of all Hong Kong people. After all, the outcome of the Sino-British negotiations is related to their future.
Kang Jianfei, however, had no interest in this and kept his eyes on the land and buildings in Hong Kong.
Land prices in Hong Kong Island and Kowloon have not fallen that horribly. However, land prices in the New Territories have plummeted, basically to the point where no one can buy them at cabbage prices. Because even if you buy land in the New Territories, the land deed is only valid until 1997.
, which charlatan would spend money to buy a piece of land that is only valid for more than ten years?
Li Chaoren and Huo Daheng were personally received by Mr. Deng last year. They may be very confident about the future of Hong Kong, but they will never buy land at this time. Because the stock price of their real estate company has plummeted, all the existing houses in their hands have been sold.
If we don't go out, the company will suffer a huge loss. How can we have the leisure to buy land at a low price now?
On November 8, Kang Jianfei spent 12 million Hong Kong dollars to buy more than 300 acres of wasteland between Tseung Kwan O and Tiu Keng Leng at a bargain price for the construction of the Tseung Kwan O studio - the ultimate goal is to build the Tseung Kwan O Film and Television City to combine Oriental DreamWorks and Phoenix
All TV stations have been relocated.
On November 10, Kang Jianfei bought the Yau Ma Tei Theater (including land), one of the five major theaters in Hong Kong, for 6 million.
The so-called top five theaters were just a term used 30 years ago. There are only 500 seats in the Yau Ma Tei Theater, and some of the facilities are outdated. This theater originally belonged to Shaw Brothers Cinemas. It was rented by Lei Juekun more than two years ago and joined the Golden Princess.
Cinema chain. If the development of the original time and space is followed, Yau Ma Tei Cinema will withdraw from Golden Princess in three years and join Nikkatsu Cinemas (a cinema chain that specializes in pornographic movies).
Although Yau Ma Tei Theater was not Princess Jin's leading theater, Lei Juekun was still very angry when he heard that Kang Jianfei had bought this theater.
However, Lei Juekkun has no time to fight with Kang Jianfei. Although he lost control of Kowloon Bus last year, he still has a large number of shares. Moreover, Lei Juekkun is also the second largest shareholder of Kowloon Construction Industry, and two companies are listed on the market.
As the company's stock price plummeted, Lei Juekun's net worth has shrunk by nearly half.
On November 12, Kang Jianfei purchased a 12-story building in Kowloon at a low price of 25 million and renamed it Oriental Building. The floors facing the street are shopping malls, the upper floors are office buildings, and the middle two floors were renovated under Kang Jianfei's order.
For the multiplex cinema - Oriental Cinema.
Oriental Building was originally owned by New World Real Estate. Last year, when Yang Xucheng was serving his sentence in prison, the Hong Kong property market bubble burst. By the time Yang Xucheng commuted his sentence and was released from prison, his New World Real Estate had been suspended and he still owed more than 300 million.
huge debt.
Many properties in New World have been auctioned. Because this building still has stable rental income, it has been retained to repay the debt on a monthly basis. Unfortunately, the Hong Kong property market plummeted again a few days ago, and this building was also put up for auction, with the lowest auction price being only
18 million, Kang Jianfei spent a lot of effort to grab this building.
On November 15, Kang Jianfei spent a high price of 53 million to buy the Lu Hai Tong Building at 31 Queen's Road East Central. The Lu Hai Tong Building only has 13 floors. The purchase price was double that of the Oriental Building because it is located on Hong Kong Island.
It is in a prime location, and its owner, Luhaitong Company, is very powerful. If Luhaitong Company had not suffered losses in other businesses and needed money, Kang Jianfei would not have sold it even if others offered him 60 million.
After Kang Jianfei bought the Lu Hai Tong Building, all other floors were used for rent by Kang Jianfei. What he valued most was the Queen's Theater on the ground floor of the building. The location of this theater is really great. It is right on Queen's Road Central. The flow of people here is very scary.
.
By the way, Zhang Guorong's father's clothing store is located in the Queen's Theater shopping mall.
Since it was Kang Jianfei who bought it, the building could no longer be called Lu Haitong Building. Kang Jianfei didn't bother to think of a name, so he just filled in Queen's Building when renaming it.
In addition, Kang Jianfei spent 30 million to buy 18 villas in Mid-Levels, Waterloo Hill, Repulse Bay, Lantau Island and other places. Especially the holiday villas on Lantau Island, some are even more luxurious than the mid-level villas, but
The price is equivalent to getting it for free, not even comparable to an apartment on Hong Kong Island.
Why is it so cheap?
Because the real estate companies that built the holiday villas have either gone bankrupt or are on the verge of bankruptcy, many villas have been forced to be auctioned by banks. Now the houses on Hong Kong Island have plummeted. Maybe one day the Sino-British negotiations will break down. Who the hell has the time to buy them?
A villa in a remote resort?
When Kang Jianfei bought these villas, no one bid for him at all. As long as someone asked for a price, other buyers tacitly chose to give up. Anyway, there were still a large number of houses waiting to be sold at low prices, so there was no need for them to bother.
scramble.
In less than two weeks, Kang Jianfei had spent more than 140 million of the 200 million raised by him, including the money to build Tseung Kwan O Studios and Oriental Cinema, as well as renovate the Yau Ma Tei Cinema.
Kang Jianfei now has three theaters in his hands. Among them, the Queen's Theater can fully serve as the leading theater and immediately join the New Era Cinema Line, but the other two theaters will have to wait for some time.
Although the Yau Ma Tei Theater only has 500 seats, and the surrounding residents are all middle- and lower-class civilians, it is the center of the old district and has a very abundant customer base. The Yau Ma Tei Theater is a single-story building, and Kang Jianfei plans to raise it to two more floors.
Yau Ma Tei Cinema was transformed into a three-storey multiplex cinema.
As for the Oriental Cinema, the renovation work of installing seats, audio equipment, etc. will take at least one or two months to complete.
These three theaters are all located in good locations. As long as Hong Kong movies flourish, there is no need to worry about losing money.
In addition to these three theaters, Kang Jianfei's eyes are also fixed on the oldest theater in Hong Kong - Taiping Theater. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to come to Qidian () to vote for recommendations, monthly tickets, your support,
