However, with the completion of the Future Building and the continuous expansion of the scale of various companies in Xiangjiang, this small street-facing building located in a prime area, covering an area of less than one acre and a construction area of only more than 400 square meters, is no longer sufficient.
.
In recent years, this place has basically become a temporary residence for visitors from mainland China, and is in a semi-idle state.
Qiao Hongwei didn't take Swire Properties' proposal to heart. He was the housekeeper for Sun Dahai, knowing that there was currently no demand for land in Xiangjiang to build the future system.
Even if there is a need, a large area of land will be required to build the future system. It is impossible to replace it simply by relying on this land.
As for funds, there is no shortage of funds to build the future. Didn’t you see that Zhou Haibing was surrounded by senior executives of major banks all day long, hoping to lend money to the building of the future system?
It's a pity that there is always a lot of spare money in the account of Setting Up Future, which is more than the total capital of many companies. Borrowing sporadic bank loans is just for bank-enterprise relations and has nothing to do with the normal operation of the company.
As a financial manager, Zhou Haibing has an important daily job, which is to formulate different combinations of financial instruments for idle funds and seek a certain level of profitability on the basis of ensuring the safety and liquidity of funds.
Not only the holding company, Sun Dahai's companies are basically not short of money now. Many of them can be called cash cows, and they are constantly generating benefits for the company at any time.
Qiao Hongwei knew that there was absolutely no need for Sun Dahai to sell his temporarily idle property, especially an almost non-renewable resource like the Central Land.
Therefore, Qiao Hongwei did not pay much attention to Swire Properties' quotation. It was not until he met Sun Dahai at Daqingshan Resort last year that he accidentally mentioned the matter.
However, Sun Dahai had a sudden idea and proposed a new plan. He asked Qiao Hongwei to ask Swire Properties if he could exchange it for land near his two small plots of land on Baijia Road.
Swire Properties is a long-established Britten enterprise. It is not only cheap to acquire land in Xiangjiang, but also has no barriers. They have been operating in Xiangjiang for many years, so they have a certain amount of real estate reserves on many out-of-print plots.
In luxury residential areas like Victoria Peak, Chinese real estate developers can only obtain second-hand and third-hand land sporadically, so it is difficult to form a scale advantage. However, Swire Properties will not be subject to such restrictions.
It was based on this consideration that Sun Dahai asked Qiao Hongwei to reply to Swire Properties. What he didn't expect was that Swire Properties actually had land that met Sun Dahai's requirements.
Next to Sun Dahai's land, there is a piece of property owned by Swire Properties. It is a piece of land of nearly 800 square meters, with two triplex villas on it, and six foreign managers of Swire & Company live there.
The area of this piece of land is considered to be above average among the luxury houses in Taipingshan. It is only slightly smaller than Sun Dahai's two pieces of land combined. Its overall value is much higher than that of Sun Dahai's piece of land in Central.
few.
However, this depends on their different understanding and utilization methods.
Sun Dahai's piece of land in Central, although smaller in area, is not as valuable as Swire Properties' hilltop villa land on the surface.
But if Swire Properties acquires this piece of land and connects it with other pieces of land in its hands, it can be turned into a larger commercial project. There is huge room for price appreciation, and profits will at least double.
As a result, both Sundas and Swire Properties have developed a great interest in each other's land.
After Qiao Hongwei returned from the mainland, he immediately negotiated with the other party on behalf of Sun Dahai.
With both parties worried about unexpected events and hoping to complete the transaction as soon as possible, a real estate swap agreement was quickly reached.
After Sun Dahai symbolically made up the price difference of several million Hong Kong dollars, he obtained this piece of land, which was connected to the other two pieces of land.
In Xiangjiang, it is very convenient to handle these real estate transfers as long as the procedures are complete. The two parties completed the replacement procedures before the first month of the year.
Both parties have given the other party a three-month buffer period to dispose of their respective belongings. The existing buildings on the land are useless and both parties are prepared to knock them down and rebuild.
At that time, Sun Dahai had already decided to live in Shi'ao, and Jenny had already started designing the large villa there and was ready to start construction at any time.
Unexpectedly, there was another piece of land suitable for building a big house in Taiping Mountain. Sun Dahai was not good at how to choose, so he raised this issue at the monthly family meeting.
There are many actual photos on the coffee table, including those of the Baijiadao land and the Shek O land. There are also hand-drawn schematic diagrams of the environmental locations of the two land parcels.
The whole family was looking through the information. The second child only looked at the photos, and they were looking at the scenery. The adults had more ideas and were discussing while reading.
"Ocean, I think Victoria Peak is more suitable for living. Shek Ao is a bit too deserted. There are only about 20 villas on such a huge mountain, which feels weird."
Li Cuifeng was the first to express her opinion.
Li Cuifeng's views were supported by Jiang Xiuping and the second primary school. We have always lived in the prosperous area of the capital, and have long been accustomed to the comings and goings of people, as well as the little hustle and bustle of the world.
Everyone is uncomfortable with villas far away from people. Although the living environment is more beautiful, this slight feeling of alienation still makes everyone uncomfortable.
Compared with the two places, the living facilities in Taipingshan are naturally more convenient, the popularity is stronger, and the reputation is completely different. It is not surprising that Li Cuifeng chose this place.
Sun Weiguo didn't have any special ideas. With his status, even if he retired in the future, he would have to go through a lot of procedures to go to Xiangjiang, let alone stay there for a long time, so this matter didn't mean much to him.
Jiang Xiuping, however, strongly supports Li Cuifeng's idea. She has been to Xiangjiang many times, and her knowledge of various situations in Xiangjiang ranks second among the family (Sun Dahai is of course the first).
In Jiang Xiuping's perception, Shi'ao is the countryside of Xiangjiang. The environment is well protected and the population density is extremely high, making it appear more original.
However, in terms of living environment alone, Shek O is still very different from the traditional living environment of the Chinese.
Foreigners prefer that kind of environment, which is closer to nature. If they want, they can build a manor or a castle on the mountains of Shi'ao. Anyway, they are more accustomed to living behind closed doors.
As Jiang Xiuping gets older, she likes to be more lively. Even if she doesn't live in an apartment in a prosperous area, it would be better to live in her own independent villa in Taipingshan.
Looking up, you can see more or less other houses and residents around, which is much better than going to Shek O to listen to the wind and watch the sea.
If you really live in Shek O, I'm afraid that if something happens, even if you shout in your own house, no one will be able to hear you.
