"Okay, now we are offering the land at No. 64 Mody Road, Tsim Sha Tsui, Hong Kong. The starting price is HK$120 per square foot, and each bid is HK$5. All company owners, please bid!"
After the host came on stage, he briefly introduced the rules of the auction, and then took out the first piece of land for auction, No. 64 Mody Road!
According to the introduction in the brochure, the Xiangjiang East Tsim Sha Tsui Station will be built next to this land, and after the next century, the Avenue of Stars will be built opposite this land.
At the same time, in another time and space, this place was taken over by Guo Henian and will be used to build his own Shangri-La Hotel. Living here, you can see the sea view outside and the Causeway Bay across the sea at a glance!
The host's eyes fell on Li Jiacheng. He came with a mission today and tried his best to help Li Jiacheng complete the acquisition he wanted.
Li Jiacheng received the look in the other person's eyes, and he naturally knew that the host was here with a mission. Even before coming, he met the host in private and told the other party what gestures he used to bid. What does the card mean?
He raised his left hand, he didn’t want it, he just wanted to raise the bidding price for Chu Huan.
Li Jiacheng didn't have such a big appetite for the 174 hectares of land. He would be satisfied as long as he could get half of it.
Raise your right hand, that's what you want, the weight must fall quickly!
After the eyes of the two parties collided in the air, the host looked at the representatives of several foreign real estate companies sitting in the back. They were the ones they hired to set up the bidding, and their purpose was naturally to make it more difficult for Chu Huan to bid!
They have made sufficient preparations for this auction.
On the other side, Guo Henian saw that the first piece of land taken out by the Hong Kong government was the piece of land he had chosen. He was inevitably a little excited. He hoped to get this piece of land and use it as his first choice to land in Hong Kong. A stepping stone.
So Guo Henian is ready to raise his sign!
"200!"
But just when Guo Henian was about to raise the sign, Chu Huan's voice came from his left ear.
Then Guo Henian suddenly turned his head and looked at Chu Huan's position.
In fact, not only Guo Henian, but almost everyone present looked at Chu Huan. At this time, the entire venue was filled with silence.
At a low price of 120 Hong Kong dollars, Chu Huan actually asked for 200 Hong Kong dollars per square foot. This
It exceeded the psychological expectations of all real estate companies on site, because the psychological price of most real estate companies is HK$150 per square foot. If it is more, you should seriously consider it!
As Hong Kong's future shopping mall, this piece of land in East Tsim Sha Tsui is bound to be used for commercial purposes, such as commercial buildings, shopping malls, anything. The proportion of residential buildings will be very small.
Although the price of commercial buildings and shopping malls will be higher than that of residential buildings, most real estate developers in Xiangjiang will not sell such sites, but will use them to collect rent.
According to the current rent of Grade A office buildings in Hong Kong, which is HK$6 per square foot per month, it will take a long time to recover the land purchase and construction costs.
Now that Chu Huan is raising prices like this, he simply doesn't take the market rules into consideration.
"Ah Huan"
Guo Desheng, who was sitting next to Chu Huan, wanted to remind him, but seeing the indifference in Chu Huan's expression, Guo Desheng did not say anything in the end.
At this time, the rent in Xiangjiang is indeed relatively low, but Chu Huan knows the historical development behind it. Although this year's monthly rent of Grade A office buildings in Tsim Sha Tsui is only 6 Hong Kong dollars per square foot, by 1981, this rent It will rise to HK$26 per square foot.
The price of Xiangjiang Commercial Building will also increase by at least 25 times!
The most important thing is that after this, it is no longer possible to have such a large area of land auctioned in the Tsim Sha Tsui area.
You only have this opportunity, if you can seize it, seize it, if you can't, it's really gone!
So Chu Huan didn't know about Shen Bi, Li Jiacheng's little moves, but Chu Huan understood that he must get this land. The businessmen in Xiangjiang now only see immediate benefits, but Chu Huan has already set his sights on ten years. , even twenty years later!
So Chu Huan decided that the price would be a sky-high price, so that all the real estate developers on the scene would understand his determination to acquire this land this time. Anyone who wants to compete with him should carefully consider it!
The host looked at Li Jiacheng, who shook his head indifferently and gave up. He was actually quite optimistic about the land, but the price of HK$200 per square foot was already far higher than the actual price of the land.
The land provided by the Hong Kong government is 174 hectares. There is no need for me to compete with Chu Huan on this land.
As for those people surrounding the bid, they did not hold up signs at this time. What is their purpose here?
Just to let Chu Huan buy the land he wants at a high price. Now 200 Hong Kong dollars per square foot is no longer a high price, but a sky-high price!
If I raise my sign again at this time, what if Chu Huan doesn't want to do it anymore?
Doesn’t that mean it’s in your own hands?
Thinking of this, everyone gave up.
Guo Henian had also withdrawn his gaze. He thought that Chu Huan would definitely pay a high price, but he really didn't expect that Chu Huan would pay such a high price.
The gain outweighs the loss!
After thinking about it, Guo Henian shook his head sadly, it was a bad start!
"At HKD 200 per square foot, is there anyone else bidding? This is my first time asking!"
The host stood there and asked loudly.
No one said a word.
“HKD 200 per square foot, second time!”
“HKD 200 per square foot, third time!”
Snapped!
“Congratulations to Hang Lung Properties for acquiring 64 Mody Road!”
As the host dropped the hammer, sparse applause erupted from the audience.
Everyone's eyes changed slightly when they looked at Chu Huan!
Chu Huan has set his style so high this time, what should he do next?
Will Chu Huan take action on the land behind?
Everyone is thinking about their own things in their mind.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "The land now up for bidding is No. 64 Mody Road, Tsim Sha Tsui, Hong Kong. The starting price is HK$120 per square foot, and each bid is HK$5. Please bid. Company boss bids”
The host took out a second piece of land for auction. Although this piece of land was called No. 63 Mody Road, it was not actually adjacent to No. 64, but across the street.
In another time and space, this land will be acquired by Sino Real Estate, and then the Hershey Center in Hong Kong will be built.
Sure enough, when he saw this piece of land, Huang Tingfang was immediately ready to raise his placard. The location of this piece of land was not as good as No. 64. It was not near the sea. In Huang Tingfang's opinion, the price should be lower.
"200!"
But just like Guo Henian just now, before Huang Tingfang could raise his sign, Chu Huan's voice came again from their left.
The voice is crisp and brief, but it is very powerful in everyone's ears!
200 again?
Huang Tingfang looked at Chu Huan in shock. There was no difference from how he looked just now, but Chu Huan like this made Huang Tingfang feel a little scared.
What is Chu Huan going to do?
Not only Huang Tingfang, but also Li Jiacheng next to Chu Huan. Through Cao Yunshang, he saw Chu Huan sitting there with her legs crossed, the bidding card in her hand gently held on her knees.
The host once again focused his attention on Li Jiacheng. Li Jiacheng felt this gaze and smiled bitterly. No. 64, which was better than No. 63 just now, had no competition, and now it is even less likely to compete.
“HKD 200 per square foot, first time!”
“HKD 200 per square foot, second time!”
“HKD 200 per square foot, third time!”
Snapped!
“Congratulations to Hang Lung Properties for acquiring No. 63 Mody Road at a price of HK$200 per square foot!”
The host delivered a sermon.
The atmosphere in the venue was a bit strange. Everyone was looking at Chu Huan. They didn't understand what Chu Huan was going to do!
But the auction site will definitely not be interrupted, and the host can only continue to take out that piece of land for auction.
No. 66 Mody Road is up for auction this time, and the low price is still HK$120 per square foot.
In another time and space, this land will be built into the Tsim Sha Tsui Center by Sino Properties, and this land is truly a neighbor of Land 64.
Huang Tingfang was determined to win this piece of land, so as soon as the host finished the introduction, he was ready to raise his sign immediately, but a voice sounded again from his left side.
However, Huang Tingfang breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, the price quoted by the other party was not 200 Hong Kong dollars per square foot, and the bid was not from Chu Huan but from Li Jiacheng.
It turned out that Li Jiacheng also liked this piece of land. At the same time, like Huang Tingfang, he was worried that Chu Huan would offer 200 Hong Kong dollars per square foot again, so he took the lead in bidding!
However, Li Jiacheng also understood that with Chu Huan's previous quotations for the two pieces of land, he definitely couldn't increase the price little by little if he wanted to get this land.
Therefore, Li Jiacheng immediately quoted a price of HK$150 per square foot!
Huang Tingfang was relieved for no reason when he saw that the quote was not from Chu Huan. As long as it was not from Chu Huan, it would be fine. Although 150 was a bit higher, it was still within his acceptance range!
So Huang Tingfang held up a sign saying "155 Hong Kong dollars!"
Li Jiacheng “160 Hong Kong dollars!”
Apart from the two people bidding, there were no other bids at the scene, but the real estate developers at the scene also breathed a sigh of relief at this time, because Chu Huan did not bid!
As long as Chu Huan doesn't make an offer, that's fine.
"It seems that Chu Huan wants to connect the two pieces of land and build a commercial center with an aerial walkway!"
Someone analyzed it this way.
The people next to me nodded in agreement.
result
"200!"
Just when Li Jiacheng and Huang Tingfang were arguing fiercely, that familiar voice and familiar number appeared in everyone's ears again.
You don’t even have to look at it to know it’s Chu Huan!
Li Jiacheng and Huang Tingfang were also helpless and angry. You didn't play like this. You just won two pieces of land in a row, and no one else competed with you. Now you are still here?
Are you still shameless?
Li Jiacheng has no intention of giving up, because he understands the importance of this piece of land. There is another piece of land on the east side of this piece of land that will be auctioned in a while. If he is Chu Huan, he must choose the general number. There will be another piece of land in the future.
The taken out No. 68 land is connected together to build a complete business circle.
The land No. 66 located in the middle is particularly important. If you can get this land, whether you use it for your own development or to suppress Chu Huan, it will be very important.
Huang Tingfang also has no intention of giving up. He has given up No. 65 just now, and now No. 66 is the land he must get!
As for Niubijian of Wharf, he gave up when he heard that the land was priced at more than HK$150 per square foot.
"205 Hong Kong dollars!" Lijiacheng increased the price.
"210 Hong Kong dollars!" Huang Tingfang also increased the price.
But everyone set their sights on Chu Huan, wanting to see how Chu Huan decided, whether he would raise a placard, and what would be the price of raising a placard?
Chu Huan did not disappoint everyone. He raised his sign easily and said calmly "250!"
Huang Tingfang is crazy, that’s not how money is used!
Li Jiacheng is so impressed, can you really be so willful if you have money?
Everyone is stupid. You can really use money as you like!
The host was fooled, and Chu Huan didn't even think about it. Even if I wanted to help Li Jiacheng, I couldn't help him?
Those bidders are crazy, what are we doing?
After a long time, as the host dropped the hammer, this piece of land also fell into Chu Huan's hands.
And then
"200!"
"250!"
"200!"
"260!"
The normal auction seemed to be held solely for Chu Huan, and everyone else, regardless of whether they were Xinhe Real Estate, Changshi Real Estate, Wharf, or other real estate companies who had previously believed that this land was going to win, were all completely
He completely became a spectator.
They watched Chu Huan raise his cards, and the host dropped his hammer. Chu Huan raised his cards, and the host dropped his hammer.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! This cycle has never changed. Even if someone in the middle wanted to add trouble to Chu Huan, they gave up immediately after seeing the price of Chu Huan's sign!
If Chu Huan was possessed by his senior brother at this time, he would definitely lecture everyone present arrogantly.
"Sorry, I'm not targeting any of you, I'm saying that everyone who is doing this is rubbish!"
But Chu Huan is not a senior brother, and he will not do such things to attract hatred.
The auction, which was originally expected to take at least three hours, ended in just one hour.
The 174 hectares and 1.88 million square feet of reclamation projects in East Tsim Sha Tsui were all acquired by Chu Huan alone.
As the last piece of land was obtained by Chu Huan, there was warm applause at the scene. Although no real estate company at the scene got any piece of land except Hang Lung Real Estate, most of the real estate companies were not dissatisfied.
They even wanted to thank Chu Huan!
Because as long as the situation of today's auction is spread, it will immediately cause a huge sensation in Xiangjiang, and with this spring breeze, the land prices in Xiangjiang will definitely increase to a certain extent.
Everyone is in the real estate business. When land prices rise, it naturally means that housing prices have risen. When housing prices rise, their profits will naturally increase!
It can be said that Chu Huan sacrificed him and made most people happy!
How could these people be unhappy?
Guo Desheng stood next to Chu Huan and said to Chu Huan with a complicated expression, "Ah Huan, you really just don't chirp, you chirp one after another!"
Isn’t it just a series?
Chu Huan had just announced the financial status of Chinese Real Estate, and there was news that Chu Huan was worth over 10 billion. Now Chu Huan has used this method to obtain this land in East Tsim Sha Tsui.
Just thinking about it makes my scalp numb!
Chu Huan smiled and said, "Uncle Guo, you don't think I really compensated, do you?"
Guo Desheng laughed and said, "How could it be possible? The price of this land has gone up now!"
Chu Huan did nothing, but Guo Desheng said that the price of the land had increased, but no one at the scene raised any objections!
But isn’t it just rising?
In the past, the price of a piece of land was indeed between 120-150, but now Chu Huan has bought the entire land.
What does this mean?
It means that Chu Huan can build the entire East Tsim Sha Tsui, and even the entire Kowloon, the largest business circle on Hong Kong Island here.
This price is no longer the same as the previous price!
Take the New World Center next to this land for example. The entire New World Center business district only covers an area of 430,000 square feet. At the peak of land prices in Hong Kong in 1973, the land price here had reached over 300 Hong Kong dollars per square foot.
Although the stock market crash and oil crisis have caused land prices in Xiangjiang to drop several times, the value of a connected business circle is not the same as that of a single commercial building!
"Congratulations to Director Chu!" Li Jiacheng maintained his demeanor at this time and shook hands with Chu Huan. "Director Chu's courage is amazing. It's just that such a huge business circle needs to invest at least 6 billion Hong Kong dollars. This is not a big deal."
It’s a small amount!”
The entire New World Center has an investment of 1.4 billion, but if Chu Huan now wants to develop the commercial land in East Tsim Sha Tsui, as Li Jiacheng said, there is no need to think about it without 6 billion Hong Kong dollars!
This is why the price of this piece of land is not high, but why every real estate company will deal with it carefully, because the later construction is where the real money is spent.
When they heard that Lijiacheng revealed this number, everyone at the scene was stunned!
Although they were able to calculate this data, they were just congratulating Chu Huan and forgot to calculate it.
Now that they heard what Li Jiacheng said, they had already started to calculate in their minds. Based on the price Chu Huan had just paid, it cost 4.5 billion Hong Kong dollars to acquire the land for the feature film.
Including stamp duty, it’s nearly 500 million!
In other words, if the entire project is completed, Chu Huan will need to invest at least 6.5 billion Hong Kong dollars in it!
Regardless of what people outside think, at this time, no one at the scene doubted whether Chu Huan had a net worth of tens of billions!
If Chu Huan doesn't have a net worth of tens of billions, then no one in the entire Xiangjiang can have a net worth of tens of billions!
After thinking about all this, everyone's look at Chu Huan changed.
Chu Huan said to Li Jiacheng with a smile, "Don't worry, Mr. Li, Hang Lung Real Estate's financial situation is very healthy!"
Li Jiacheng didn't say anything and left the scene first. He still had a lot of things to do!
Although he lost the land auction and suffered a complete defeat, Li Jiacheng did not think that the matter was over.
With an investment of 6.5 billion Hong Kong dollars, no matter which company it is in Xiangjiang, it is bound to be brought down by this investment, and he believes that Chu Huan is no exception!
Admittedly, photographing the entire piece of land is a very, very cool thing.
But in the follow-up, it is easy for people to take advantage of it!
In fact, from Li Jiacheng's point of view, this is not a wise move.
Zheng Yutong walked up to Chu Huan with the same expression as Guo Desheng.
"Once this project is built, coupled with the previous Huaye City, Ah Huan, I'm afraid you will become the land king of Xiangjiang!"
Huaye City occupies an area of 3 million square feet. Now Chu Huan has purchased another 1.88 million square feet of land in East Tsim Sha Tsui. If Chu Huan’s other land reserves and properties are included, the land owned by Chu Huan at this time will definitely exceed 550 million square feet.
Thousands of square feet!
Nowadays, many real estate companies do not have the construction area of their properties to reach this amount, but the land owned by Chu Huan already exceeds this amount!
If Zheng Yutong and others knew that Chu Huan was even planning to acquire land-exchange rights certificates in the New Territories, their jaws would probably drop.
Chu Huan shook his head and said, "Uncle Zheng, I dare not say this. There are hidden dragons and crouching tigers in Xiangjiang. Who knows how much land each company holds in its hands?"
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Zheng Yutong shook his head and smiled bitterly. Even if someone secretly holds the land, Zheng Yutong does not think that anyone will surpass the land in Chu Huan's hands.
However, Zheng Yutong had already discovered that Chu Huan didn't want to say anything more about this matter, so he stopped mentioning it.
Guo Henian also came over at this time. They were business competitors before, but they are no longer!
"Ah Huan, don't forget what I said before!"
Chu Huan knew that Guo Henian was talking about sitting together with Cao Wenjin and the three of them. However, looking at Guo Henian's current situation, Chu Huan understood that the next step should not be a simple sit-down, but maybe a discussion about cooperation.
matter.
However, Guo Henian understands the current situation. Chu Huan is the focus of the audience at this time. If he talks about cooperation with Chu Huan at this time, many people will definitely want to participate. This will make it difficult for Chu Huan.
Yes, so Guo Henian did not speak at this time.
But just because Guo Henian didn't speak, it didn't mean that others wouldn't speak.
Huang Tingfang couldn't help it at this time.
"Director Chu, with such a large piece of land, as Director Li just said, the risk of investing by one person is really too great. Have you ever considered bringing in a second party to join it? We Xinhe Real Estate very much hope to cooperate with Director Chu's
Cooperation with Hang Lung Properties!”
Huang Tingfang's words immediately cheered up many real estate developers.
Although Chu Huan is a bit unique in business, he is still willing to share some things with everyone. For example, in Huaye City, the largest real estate project in Hong Kong, Chu Huan introduced Sun Hung Kai, New World, Hopewell Properties, and Hopewell International.
these four companies.
Although the current project in Tsim Sha Tsui East is not as large as Huaye City in land area, its commercial value is higher and the investment is larger. Is there no reason for Chu Huan not to introduce other partners?
Thinking of this, everyone's eyes changed when they looked at Chu Huan, as if they were looking at a little girl wearing hot pants and suspenders after being released from prison for more than ten years.
That look in his eyes made him want to kill Chu Huan right now!
At this moment, Chu Huan felt like a little sheep that had fallen into a pack of wolves, so pitiful.
He couldn't help tightening his clothes, and then Chu Huan smiled and said, "We at Hang Lung will definitely consider Director Huang's suggestion, but we will not decide whether to introduce it until Hang Lung has thoroughly planned this area."
Other partners, so I personally have no way to give Director Huang a suitable reply to Director Huang’s current suggestion!”
Chu Huan did not reject Huang Tingfang at the first time, but he also did not agree to the other party. It was not that Chu Huan was afraid of Huang Tingfang, but that although Chu Huan had bought all the land here, in fact, Xinhe Real Estate had already acquired it before.
He has already bought part of the land adjacent to here, so Chu Huan wants to see if he can buy it all!
By then the entire East Tsim Sha Tsui will belong to Chu Huan.
After hearing what Chu Huan said, Huang Tingfang could only helplessly express his understanding.
But the mood will definitely not be that good. If I had known that Chu Huan was so courageous, when Chu Huan proposed to cooperate, he would have agreed to anything. Now it is better, the identities of both parties have changed, and now he is asking for it.
Then I cooperated with Chu Huan.
"This is what it should be. I hope to get good news from Director Chu!"
In the end, Huang Tingfang could only helplessly preach.
When the other real estate developers saw Chu Huan's answer to Huang Tingfang, they all knew that it was not the time to tell Chu Huan about this matter.
But what is certain is that in the coming days, the threshold of Hang Lung Real Estate will definitely be stepped on by these real estate developers!
Yang Jianye, the chief reporter of Oriental Daily, was sitting and eating in a tea restaurant not far from the peninsula. Sitting next to him was his apprentice Tang Kaimin, a girl.
"Master, why don't we eat here now? If the auction ends, won't we not be able to get first-hand information?"
Tang Kaimin had no intention of eating the bowl of noodles in front of him, but instead preached with some worry.
Yang Jianye said in a relaxed tone, "Don't worry, this kind of auction won't end in three or four hours. It's less than an hour now and no one will come out. Your master, how many times have I participated in such auctions?"
Yes, I know it well!"
Tang Kaimin was stunned for a moment. Although he said that, Tang Kaimin was still a little worried and said to Yang Jianye, "Master, you eat first, and I will watch at the door. If anyone comes out, I will call you!"
From where they were eating, they could see the entrance to the Peninsula Hotel in the distance.
Yang Jianye just smiled and said, "Go if you want to!"
Tang Kaimin nodded and walked out.
Yang Jianye looked at Tang Kaimin's back and shook his head with a smile. Young people are good, full of energy and enthusiasm, but they are a little brainless.
How could I be wrong in my judgment?
Just when Yang Jianye was about to continue cooking, Tang Kaimin suddenly ran back.
Yang Jianye smiled and asked, "Is that so? What are you doing?"
Yang Jianye was dragged out of the tea restaurant by Tang Kaimin before he finished asking. The waiter in the tea restaurant hurriedly chased them out after seeing them like this. They hadn't paid yet!
"People are coming out!"
Tang Kaimin shouted loudly.
"Who came out?" Yang Jianye still didn't understand.
But as soon as he finished asking, his expression changed, "Fuck, why did the long and sturdy Lijiacheng come out?"
At this time, Yang Jianye had already seen that at the entrance of the Peninsula Hotel, Li Jiacheng, the CEO of Changshi, one of the four most vocal companies, had been surrounded by countless reporters at the entrance of the hotel!
Yang Jianye, who was being dragged just now, turned into a gust of wind and ran towards the Peninsula Hotel in an instant.
Upon seeing this, Tang Kaimin hurriedly chased after him.
The waiter at the tea restaurant waved from behind and shouted, "No, not really."
At the entrance of the Peninsula Hotel, countless reporters asked Li Jiacheng, "Mr. Li, why did you come out so quickly? Is there something wrong with the company?"
Li Jiacheng, who looked gloomy, just said, "It's over!"
