"Wow, this house is so big, with a garden and a swimming pool!" Guan Zhilin ran wildly in the single-family villa on the mountainside that Kang Jianfei had just bought. After running around, she hooked Kang Jianfei's neck and gave her a sweet kiss. The two of them stood there.
Get intimate.
"Ahem!" Guan Shan coughed next to him and said, "Should you two be more reserved?"
Guan Zhilin lay in Kang Jianfei's arms, smiling and sticking out her tongue at her father, with a happy expression on her face.
Kang Jianfei thrust a bunch of keys into Guan Zhilin's hand and said: "This villa used to belong to a barrister and the owner of a law firm, but now the whole family has immigrated to the UK. There were originally three cars in the garage, and that one is a little older.
I gave the BMW to the company to be used as a bus, and I still have two Mercedes-Benz and Ferrari that are 70% to 80% new."
Guan Zhilin couldn't wait to take the keys to the garage. Guan Shan couldn't help but said: "Afei, don't spoil her like this. Jiahui has been spoiled by me since she was a child."
Kang Jianfei smiled and said: "It didn't cost much. All walks of life in Hong Kong are in recession right now, but the auction house has the best business. Many things can be bought at cabbage prices."
In fact, those three cars were really cheap. Kang Jianfei only spent 300,000 to buy all three cars from the original owner of the villa.
Guan Shan sighed: “I don’t know what the outcome of this negotiation will be.”
"It's probably still early." Although Kang Jianfei didn't know how many years the Sino-British negotiations would last, he remembered that at the worst time, people in Hong Kong were frantically buying daily necessities because there were rumors that the mainland would cut off Hong Kong's drinking water supply and send troops
Warships came to cut off the city's supply of Hong Kong Island.
By that time, the Hong Kong dollar was also said to be waste paper, and Hong Kong citizens frantically exchanged U.S. dollars and pounds, leading to the so-called "Hong Kong dollar crisis." Although rumors are flying all over Hong Kong, no one has yet treated the Hong Kong dollar as waste paper. It is estimated that there will be more in the future.
Gotta make a fuss.
The two lamented the current situation in Hong Kong, and Guan Shan said: "I went to see Yuan Bifu a few days ago, and she said that Taiping Theater is the hard work of three generations of the Yuan family. She will not sell it."
The three theaters in Kang Jianfei's hands, the Yau Ma Tei Theater under reconstruction and the newly built Oriental Cinema, are both located in Kowloon. Only the Queen's Theater is in Queen's Road Central. The Taiping Theater is located in Queen's Road West. If it can be bought,
It is a very good theater layout.
Kang Jianfei thought for a while and said: "I have made many appointments with Ms. Yuan, but I have never seen her in person. Uncle, can you help me ask her out to talk?"
"Let me give it a try." Guan Shan said.
Yuan Bifu is 35 years old this year. Guan Shan was good friends with her second uncle, and had a slight relationship with her deceased father, but the relationship between Guan Shan and Yuan Bifu was very average.
Fortunately, Yuan Bifu could still give Guan Shan some face, and readily agreed to the invitation, and the two parties made an appointment to have dinner at Fulinmen Restaurant.
The Mercedes-Benz in the Mid-Levels Villa was black. It was solemn and restrained, which Guan Zhilin disliked very much. She couldn't put it down for the other Ferrari sports car.
Even when Kang Jianfei invited Yuan Bifu to dinner, Guan Zhilin also drove out in a Ferrari.
Kang Jianfei, Guan Shan, Guan Zhilin and his daughter came to Fulinmen Restaurant. As soon as they stepped through the door, he saw Lei Juekun and another man walking out of it.
Lei Juekun also saw Kang Jianfei, but he was in a lot of trouble recently. He also made an appointment with someone to sell shares of Kowloon Bus today, and he was not in the mood to fight with Kang Jianfei.
"Hey, isn't this Mr. Lei?" Kang Jianfei walked over with a smile, stretched out his hand and said, "What a coincidence, I can bump into you everywhere."
"Yes, Hong Kong is really small." Lei Juekun was generous and shook hands with Kang Jianfei very generously. But in his heart, he cursed Kang Jianfei a hundred times.
Lei Juekun also wanted to buy the Yau Ma Tei Theater, but the owner's price was too high, so he could not negotiate. He had always joined the Golden Princess on a lease. But in order to buy the Yau Ma Tei Theater, Kang Jianfei actually bought the Yau Ma Tei Theater when Hong Kong housing and land prices plummeted.
Spending 6 million on it is simply a waste of money.
Large-scale leading theaters such as Hua Sheng and Lisheng owned by Golden Princess are not worth buying even if they are priced at 10 million. But the Yau Ma Tei theater is just a small 500-seat theater with outdated equipment. It is not worth that much money at all.
In Lei Juekun's eyes, Kang Jianfei spent 6 million to buy the Yau Ma Tei Theater as a deliberate attempt to poach him.
After shaking hands, the two quickly retracted their hands, as if they had touched a piece of shit. They walked past each other without saying any polite words.
Lei Juekun suddenly felt that he was old. A year ago, he had ambitiously wanted to enter the film industry. As a result, whether it was theater companies or the two listed companies of Kowloon Bus and Kowloon Construction, there were a lot of problems.
Unclear worries.
Kang Jianfei indeed has enemies everywhere, but Lei Juekun also has many enemies. Now he just wants to sell the remaining KMB shares at a good price and not lose too much.
Kang Jianfei took Guan Zhilin's hand and went upstairs. Guan Shan, who was walking behind, looked at his back and sighed secretly. The young man in front of him already looked like a film and television tycoon. He didn't know whether it was a good thing or a bad thing for his daughter to follow him.
Among the wealthy people in Hong Kong, it is very common for them to marry several wives, but it is rare for them to stay together. Guan Shan naturally knows about this kind of thing. Even he himself has had several women, so how can he stop Kang Jianfei from being a philanderer?
Kang Jianfei and others came to the private room, only to find that Yuan Bifu had already arrived and was sitting there flipping through magazines and drinking tea. He quickly apologized: "I'm really sorry for keeping Ms. Yuan waiting for so long."
"It's nothing, I'm used to arriving early," Yuan Bifu shook hands with Kang Jianfei, and then smiled at Guan Zhilin, "This is Jiahui, right? When you were a child, you often called me sister after you."
Guan Zhilin was stunned for a moment and asked with a smile: "Is there any? I don't remember it at all."
Guan Shan said: "You were still young at that time, and Taiping Theater often screened Shaw Brothers' plays. Your mother and I took you to the theater. Miss Yuan was helping in the theater at that time, and even gave you a bear."
Guan Zhilin asked: "Then why do I have no impression at all?"
Yuan Bifu said: "I later went to the UK to study, and it was not until a few years ago that I came back to take over the theater. Unfortunately, I lacked the ability, and the Taiping Theater suffered losses for many years in my hands and had to close down."
Kang Jianfei took the opportunity and said: "Ms. Yuan, with all due respect, rather than letting the Taiping Theater gather dust, it would be better to sell it and put it to good use."
Yuan Bifu shook his head and said: "The Taiping Theater has been in existence for three generations. You can't let it go from me, otherwise I will be an unfilial daughter of the Yuan family."
Kang Jianfei also carefully inquired about the history of the Taiping Theater and advised: "Ms. Yuan, I don't think your grandfather founded the theater just to keep it closed. Your father later rebuilt the Taiping Theater and gave it the function of showing movies.
He also hopes that this theater can keep pace with the times. This is a luxurious theater located in a prime location, with more than 2,000 seats, and is as famous as the Lee Stage! It should be open for business, and use its stage for singing, concerts, and screenings.
Movie. I think this is the greatest respect for the two seniors of Taiping Theater and Yuan Family."
Yuan Bifu said: "If someone wants to sing an opera or hold a concert, I will also open the door to do business."
Kang Jianfei was speechless. The woman in front of him didn't know if it was because she was fooling around. She actually closed Taiping Theater, one of the two best theaters in Hong Kong, and refused to sell it.
"Ms. Yuan, what conditions do you want before you are willing to sell?" Kang Jianfei asked.
Yuan Bifu said categorically: "I won't sell it."
Kang Jianfei stepped back and asked, "What about renting?"
Yuan Bifu also shook his head: "I won't rent."
Without renting, selling or opening, Kang Jianfei was really speechless, thinking that it would be a tragedy for Taiping Theater to fall into the hands of this woman.
Kang Jianfei thought for a while, then gritted his teeth and said, "I'll pay 30 million, and I'll take the land and the theater together."
Guan Shan was taken aback and advised: "A Fei, you are crazy. With 30 million, you can build several large theaters in Western District."
Yuan Bifu was slightly moved by Kang Jianfei's persistence, but still shook his head and refused.
Kang Jianfei then said: "For 35 million, I will open a special exhibition room in the theater to display various cultural relics and materials from the Taiping Theater over the past century. These cultural relics will still belong to the original lady, and you can come and visit at any time."
The rest of Kang Jianfei's words made Yuan Bifu thoughtful, and this time she did not refuse immediately.
Kang Jianfei struck while the iron was hot: "I can make a promise to Ms. Yuan here. In the next fifteen years, I will build a Hong Kong drama and film history exhibition hall. By then, all the historical relics related to Taiping Theater will be moved to the museum."
Yuan Bifu did not speak, but sat there thinking silently. This woman will donate the Taiping Theater to the museum without any money in the future, which shows that her thoughts are not about money. What Kang Jianfei said later has already moved her.
After thinking for a moment, Yuan Bifu asked: "How can Mr. Kang ensure that you keep your word?"
Kang Jianfei smiled and said: "You can add this clause to the contract. If I don't keep my word then, the original Taiping Theater will be returned, and I won't ask you for a dollar."
Yuan Bifu also smiled and said: "Well, I hope Mr. Kang can build the exhibition hall as soon as possible. I will give you the Taiping Theater and the land for only 30 million. The remaining 5 million will be my sponsorship fee for the exhibition hall."
"Thank you very much!" Kang Jianfei happily shook hands with Yuan Bifu and sighed in his heart: This woman is really not short of money!
However, in Hong Kong, where land and housing prices have plummeted, Kang Jianfei still made a loss when buying the Taiping Theater for 30 million, regardless of its historical and cultural value.
Kang Jianfei has no regrets. This theater is not an ordinary theater. The 2,000 seats are enough for concerts. If nothing else, the land of the Taiping Theater alone will be worth at least 200-300 million in ten years.
The same is true for the Land and Sea Building. Although this building only has 13 floors and belongs to the first generation of buildings in Hong Kong, the elevators and other equipment inside are a bit outdated. But this building is located in Central. If it hadn't been for the sharp drop in the property market, Kang Jianfei would have
That 50 million yuan can only buy 10 floors at most, and you can't even think about land.
In the long run, Kang Jianfei's behavior of buying land and properties will make several times more than directly trading in stocks.
Think about the piece of industrial land in Kowloon Bay that was priced at 150 million. After the land price plummeted, it was sold for only 15 million. You will know how terrifying the profit is. (To be continued. If you like this work

ps: I seem to have said in the previous article that the Taiping Theater only has more than 1,000 seats. Lao Wang made a mistake. After the Taiping Theater was rebuilt 30 years ago, the number of seats exceeded 2,000.9
