The homeowners who came to the scene were very happy that their real estate could actually create economic benefits. This was much safer and more efficient than mortgaging their properties to banks and then doing other businesses.
Moreover, the price of real estate has started to plummet since last year. Now, whether it is sold or mortgaged, the real estate is not worth much.
There are dilapidated old houses all around. Even if others buy them, they won't be able to do any big business. No one will build high-end shops or mansions in slums.
Only a large-scale integrated operation like the Lan Kwai Fong Development Company based on land parcels is the way out for the regional transformation of the old city.
The homeowners have all gone back, and now only the development company's team is left in the restaurant.
Qiao Hongwei thought for a while and decided to strike while the iron was hot and establish the organizational framework of the development company first.
They discussed it together for a while and finally made an arrangement.
Qiao Hongwei serves as the general manager of the development company, Zhou Haibing serves as the financial manager, Ah Shan serves as the security captain, Zhao Jun is the property manager, Qin Tian is in charge of publicity and mobilization, and Lao Shitou and Shi Zhijian are in charge of logistics.
Ah Shan’s younger brother, Four Eyes, actually used to be a student at the University of Hong Kong, but he was expelled for fighting before finishing his studies.
He volunteered to be the manager of the business department. After everyone discussed it, let him do the job first, and if he didn't do well, he would be replaced.
These positions are temporary because once the project starts running, the company will look for partners and increase shareholder participation.
By then, more professional, capable and experienced elites will be brought into the company by shareholders.
Qin Tian and Lao Shitou handed Qiao Hongwei a pile of information, all of which were information about the homeowners in Lan Kwai Fong. The top one was a sketch of Lan Kwai Fong, and the houses on it were marked with pens of different colors.
Qin Tian explained that this is the current housing situation in Lan Kwai Fong. According to the scope defined by Sun Dahai in advance, it involves more than 200 households. A main route forms an inverted "C" shape, which is half
The total length of the ring is about six to seven hundred meters. The two sides of the route and the center of the semi-ring are Sun Dahai's development goals, with a total area of about four or five hectares.
Compared with the previous Lan Kwai Fong, this development scope is larger in area, and the routes are concentrated, making it easier to manage.
The most important one is the warehouse area in the middle. Lao Shitou has mobilized most of the warehouse owners to participate in the development plan.
According to the information provided by Qin Tian, there are dozens of families who no longer live here. Instead, they have listed their houses with an agency and are preparing to sell them.
According to Sun Dahai's prior discussion with Qiao Hongwei, the houses to be sold will be purchased separately by different accounts and the income will be secretly transferred to the company's name.
These things are relatively simple. Qiao Hongwei can arrange for people to negotiate from tomorrow, and when the funds are in place next week, they can just acquire them separately.
Currently, there are more than a dozen suites and a warehouse covering an area of more than 3,000 square feet in the development area. Due to various reasons, the property rights are temporarily in the hands of the government. Qiao Hongwei's main task next week is to acquire these property rights.
Fortunately, these are dilapidated houses that have been idle for many years. Most of them are already dilapidated. The government is eager for someone to maintain them, so it will be easy to take them down.
Tonight's work was successfully completed, and Sun Dahai and the others returned home with satisfaction.
Because things were complicated, it was past eleven o'clock in the evening before I knew it.
Ren Tuanxi wanted to go home and relay the problem of the auxiliary police to Ren Darong, so he left early. Sun Dahai separated from the company people and returned home with Cao Yong.
After arriving home, he found that his grandma Jiang Xiuping had not rested yet and was chatting with Chef Cao and his wife in the living room.
Seeing Sun Dahai come back, grandma said to him: "Dahai, we just received a call from Wanwan. Teacher Liu's family will come to Xiangjiang to meet us next week. Don't arrange too many things next week, and spend time with them then. This is a family friend of our family."
Chef Cao said to Jiang Xiuping: "Sister-in-law, you and Mr. Liu's family are on opposite sides of the fence. They were brought to Wanwan at the end of 1948, and you brought your children to the capital in early 1949."
"Well, it's a pity that I didn't see them at that time. But thinking about it, I entered the city with the receiving troops after the peaceful liberation of the capital. If his family was still in the capital at that time, they would not have been forcibly taken there. Wanwan is gone."
Zheng Ziyun said: "More than ten years ago, Teacher Liu came to Hong Kong for academic exchanges with the University of Hong Kong, and Xiaoyong met him."
Cao Yong said: "Yes, I had just arrived in Hong Kong for more than a year and met Teacher Liu and Aunt Hanwen. At that time, Teacher Liu was the head of the Department of Journalism at Bay University. Before retiring, he went to the University of Hong Kong to hold the last academic conference.
His legs and feet were not very good at that time, and he usually used a wheelchair. Aunt Hanwen, as his personal doctor, came with him at her own expense."
"The whole family is here this time. Not only Han Wen is coming, but his son Han Qing and his grandson Liu Yang are also coming with their wives. Liu Yang just got married, so he came to Xiangjiang for his honeymoon."
Sun Dahai asked casually: "Are people from Grandma Hanwen's family coming?"
Chef Cao paused and said, "After your grandma Hanwen arrived in Wanwan, she married an American military officer.
But a few years later, her husband received an order to go to the Korean Peninsula to fight with the Chinese Volunteer Army, so they divorced. Your grandma Hanwen has never remarried and has no children.
After you see her, you have to be careful when you speak so as not to make her feel uncomfortable."
Sun Dahai quickly agreed.
"Teacher Liu is over eighty and in poor health. Your grandma Hanwen is a doctor herself. She said that Teacher Liu has poor cardiovascular and cerebrovascular conditions and cannot withstand the pressure difference changes when flying, so their family came to Xiangjiang by cruise ship. , I can only stay in Xiangjiang for four days."
Cao Yong asked: "Dad, how will they arrange the place where they live? I can free up two rooms there, but it's not enough! Otherwise, I can go to the hotel where Xiaoyue and the others stayed to book a room tomorrow?"
"No, Teacher Liu specifically told us that we should just squeeze in and live together like we did in the capital.
We have discussed it with Lisa in the evening. In the two rooms over there, we will arrange for Qianqing to live with Liu Yang and the others, Mr. Liu will live with Dahai here, and Han Wen will live with his sister-in-law."
…
The next morning, after breakfast, Jiang Xiuping called Sun Dahai into the room.
She opened the bedside table and revealed three large yellow croakers inside.
Grandma asked Sun Dahai: "Dahai, you have many bad ideas. Do you think it won't look good if we give the big yellow croaker directly to Teacher Liu and your Grandpa Cao?"
Sun Dahai thought for a while and replied: "It doesn't look good. Taking gold bars directly feels too tacky, just like the nouveau riche. We don't lack this money now, it's more to commemorate our previous life."
I think it would be better if we take these three large yellow croakers to a gold shop and ask the master to process them into handicrafts."
Jiang Xiuping's eyes lit up and she said, "This is a good idea, Dahai, what do you want it to be like?"
"Let's make it into a gold medal. Anyway, the gram of large yellow croaker is enough to make it. There are three rooms protruding from the top, which is what the house used to look like. Under the house are engraved the surnames of the three families, our family's brand, and the word 'Sun' is engraved in large characters.
They are both the same."
Grandma cheered.
She went out to talk to Chef Cao Zheng Ziyun and got their unanimous approval.
Zheng Ziyun, who has some painting skills, spent a day hand-drawing a simple sketch of the old house. Under the guidance of Chef Cao and Jiang Xiuping, he completed the revisions and finalized the drawing.
On Sunday morning, accompanied by Cao Yong, Sun Dahai took the big yellow croaker to Chow Sang Sang's flagship store on Shanghai Street in Mong Kok.
More than two hours later, after testing, weighing, and finalizing the drawings, Cao Yong signed a gold processing agreement with Chow Sang Sang Group on behalf of Sun Dahai.
Sun Dahai paid 5,000 Hong Kong dollars as processing fee and expediting fee in exchange for the promise that the goods could be picked up on Wednesday afternoon.
