In just three days, He Jin rushed back to Xiangjiang from England to report to Li Guangyu.
In today's era, some systems in Xiangjiang still retain some old-era ideas. For example, polygamy has only been abolished less than ten years ago. There are no longer a small number of employees in each family, and this kind of employment is for life.
There are even people of several generations who have been employed by the master's family.
He Yi is obviously in the same situation. The entire family is attached to the He family, which is basically impossible to exist in later generations.
He Jin is worthy of being a talent trained by the British Butler Association. As soon as he came to Li Guangyu, he put forward a lot of opinions.
First of all, Li Guangyu's residence is not good, which does not match Li Guangyu's current status, and has many hidden dangers in terms of safety and security.
Then there is the issue of decoration. It lacks cultural heritage. I suggested that Li Guangyu buy some antiques and put them at home.
He also suggested that Li Guangyu stock up on a batch of famous red wine, which can show the family's taste.
Li Guangyu found that a high level of housekeeping was not necessarily a good thing. He was planning to bring over the methods of the British aristocrats.
Li Guangyu said to He Jin: "I don't know anything about antiques and red wine. It's up to you and Weiqing. Anyway, Weiqing has the final say in the family. You and she can discuss it. As for the housing issue, I will go to Victoria Peak as soon as possible."
Buy one.”
Cao Weiqing also knew that Li Guangyu didn't care much about his home, and he was even more indifferent to the decoration of his home. In Li Guangyu's heart, it didn't matter whether it was luxurious or simple. Otherwise, Li Guangyu had been so rich in the past two years, he would never have thought of buying a house.
nice house.
Cao Weiqing knows Li Guangyu very well now. He is a person who does not know how to enjoy. He only wants to make money continuously, but does not think about how to spend money. Cao Weiqing does not know how Li Wencheng and Li Hemengping educated such an outstanding person as Li Guangyu
If the young masters of all the big families in Xiangjiang were like Li Guangyu, it is estimated that many industries in Xiangjiang would be hit hard.
Cao Weiqing said: "Guangyu, leave the family problems to me and Sister Jin. You can just handle the group affairs with peace of mind."
At three o'clock in the afternoon on December 18, Li Guangyu and Guo Qingya attended the last land auction held by the Hong Kong government in 1979. Li Guangyu came here today not to get the land, but to take a fancy to the building to be auctioned today.
A villa located on Victoria Peak.
This villa covers an area of more than 10,000 square feet. Li Guangyu took a fancy to this and came to participate in the bidding.
After Guo Desheng saw Li Guangyu and Guo Qingya arriving, he came over and asked: "Guangyu, are your Starlight Group planning to take action today? Why is there no news?"
Li Guangyu said: "Uncle Guo, we are coming over today to take a look. We have no intention to purchase land for the time being."
Guo Desheng said: "Guangyu, you are now also a shareholder of our Sun Hung Kai Properties. Please visit Sun Hung Kai Properties more often when you have time, and give us your opinions by the way."
"Uncle Guo, I feel relieved that Sun Hung Kai Properties has your leadership. Besides, my experience in real estate is far from yours," Li Guangyu said.
At three o'clock, the auction officially started. This time, several people Li Guangyu had made friends with, including Li Shauji and Li Ka-shing, did not come. However, Li Guangyu saw Newbikin, the president of Jardine Matheson Group, and John Madden, the chairman of Wheelock Group.
.Li Guangyu felt that it was necessary to trouble these two people today, otherwise they would really think that he was easy to bully.
The first auction started was still some villas, and the villa that Li Guangyu was interested in was the sixth one to be auctioned, and it was also the last villa to be auctioned.
The original owner of this villa is still very famous in Xiangjiang, but it is not a good reputation in the eyes of the public. After MacLehose came to Xiangjiang to establish the Independent Commission Against Corruption, the original owner fled Xiangjiang and mortgaged the villa to HSBC Bank.
.
Perhaps it is because the housing market prices in previous years have been declining due to the stock market crash in 1973, and have only begun to soar in recent years. It may also be that they want to wait for the original owner's incident to fade away before taking it out, so that the value will increase.
Better. Only now has this villa been taken out by HSBC.
The auctioneer said: "Now we are going to auction our sixth item. This is a villa with an area of more than 10,000 square feet located at No. 26 Victoria Peak. I think it is a good choice whether it is for living or for value preservation. The starting price
30 million, please bid."
Although the starting price of 30 million is already very low for this villa, after all, it is not land. Nowadays, it is just for living. Not many people are willing to spend tens of millions to buy this villa. You must know that these families in Xiangjiang today
There are very few people with assets worth over one billion. It is not worth buying just a villa. This is probably why HSBC was unwilling to release it before.
When Li Guangyu saw no one bid, he quoted a price of 30 million.
When various Chinese groups saw Li Guangyu's bid, they had no intention of making a bid. It was up to them whether the British consortium would follow suit.
Although Nubigian wanted to make an offer to embarrass Li Guangyu, after all, he was just a part-time worker. Jardine Group had no intention of acquiring the villa. If Li Guangyu stopped following him after he made the bid, he would be in big trouble.
Knowing that the He family owned a lot of land on Taiping Mountain, and the price was too high, Li Guangyu went directly to the He family to get the land and build it himself.
When the auctioneer saw that no one was bidding at the venue, he said, "Mr. Li has bid 30 million Hong Kong dollars now. Is there any increase in price?"
The venue was quiet. After waiting for a while, the auctioneer said: "Congratulations to Mr. Li for auctioning this villa at a price of 30 million."
Li Guangyu didn't expect that the British-funded consortium would give him such a favor this time and directly let him buy this villa for 30 million. He has made a lot of money. Now the market value of this villa is more than 30 million. It is estimated that HSBC has not
Think of this result.
At the subsequent land auction, a piece of land in the Kowloon area caught Li Guangyu's attention. It was not that he cared about the land, but that Nubigian was competing with Zhou Hing Real Estate on this land.
Xu Shixun was obviously prepared to win this land, but he did not expect that Jardine Real Estate, a subsidiary of the Jardine Group, also took a fancy to the land, and the bids from the two companies soared.
This land area is 96,000 square feet, which is very suitable for the development of commercial buildings. Now Jardine has offered 130 million, which is considered to have reached the current market price.
Xu Shixun continued to bid 135 million. Jardine was obviously not ready to give up, and Nubigian directly offered 140 million.
The price rose all the way to HK$190 million between the two companies, and Jardine Matheson directly bid HK$200 million this time. After Xu Shixun considered it for a while, he did not bid again.
The auctioneer waited for a while and said: "The Jardine Matheson Group bids 200 million Hong Kong dollars, does anyone want to increase the bid?"
Li Guangyu signaled Guo Qingya to start bidding, and Guo Qingya said: "Our Starlight Real Estate Group bids 201 million Hong Kong dollars."
Newbijian gave Li Guangyu and the others a hard look. He was very angry. He was about to get this piece of land. Unexpectedly, Li Guangyu and the others showed up at this time, and they only increased the price by one million Hong Kong dollars.
Guo Qingya added another one million Hong Kong dollars to the offer from Jardine Matheson Group.
Nubigian also got angry and directly reported HK$230 million to see if Li Guangyu would follow suit.
Li Guangyu did not ask Guo Qingya to bid again this time. Let Yihe pay an extra 30 million, which is already good. Plus, if Yihe just stopped playing, Li Guangyu had no intention of developing this site.
Seeing that Li Guangyu made no further bids, the auctioneer announced: "Congratulations to Jardine Group for acquiring the ownership of this land at a price of 230 million."
…
After the auction, Newbigian came to Li Guangyu and said: "Mr. Li, our Jardine Association will take note of what happened today. We will have a lot of time to meet in the future. I hope Li Sheng can always sit still."
That’s good.”
Li Guangyu smiled and replied: "Both and each other, I also hope that Yihe can always be so strong. If one day it is useless to even approach the government, it will be tragic."
Nubigian did not reply to Li Guangyu's words and slowly left the auction venue.
