After Christmas, the schedule of the Xiangjiang business delegation led by Kesos obviously went much faster. After talks with the Canadian business community on the 27th, they held talks with the Japanese business community in Tokyo on the 29th, and held talks with the Baodao business community in Taipei on the 30th.
Negotiations, held talks with the mainland government in Beijing on the 31st, and returned to Xiangjiang on the evening of the 31st.
It is obvious that this time Xos is focusing on the UK and Canada. The other markets are more of a formality, the time is very short, and the cooperation reached is also very limited.
Li Jianhui doesn't care about this. The funds he has been able to use recently are relatively tight, and he has no plans to expand the industry on a large scale, let alone enter new industries.
If he had not considered the development of his own industry in these markets, he would not have wasted his time so much. It would have been better to return to Xiangjiang before New Year's Day.
Because New Year's Day falls on a Friday, Saturday is the Laba Festival, and it is only half a month since I left Xiangjiang this time, so Li Jianhui planned to stay at home with his daughters and children.
It's a pity that the Xinjian relationship has not stopped in the past few days. On New Year's Day, Wheelock Land's first Wheelock Plaza finally opened for business after being dormant for nearly two years.
Haojiang New Town Wheelock Plaza received the attention of countless media, tourists and Lisboa citizens on New Year's Day. This kind of purely commercial complex project can be said to be very rare.
Also because of the strong management of the group headed by Su Hongtao, this Wheelock Plaza is fully rented out and is open for business today.
There are not only the business outlets of banks such as Xin Jian, Dao Heng, East Asia, Wing On, Defeng, and Public, but also two major retail supermarkets, Lane Crawford and Watsons, as well as Jingyi Electrical Appliances, Hongyu Clothing, Xinyang Clothing,
Huahong Computer, Huihong Games, Jinhong Jewelry, Yiguo chain and other specialty stores, IKEA convenience stores and Wheelock Cinemas are also not left behind.
At the same time, Wheelock Plaza Operations Department has also signed long-term strategic cooperation agreements with world-renowned enterprises such as KFC, McDonald's, Adidas, Chow Tai Fook Jewelry, Louis Vuitton, Dior, Burberry, and Nike.
In addition to Li Jianhui, Huang Guangxing and Su Hongtao, those present today at the ribbon-cutting event for Wheelock Plaza to be put into operation were also Li Guobao, Lei Juekun, Zhang Guangwen, Ye Han, and Lisboa Chief Executive Igaso.
Igaso is even happier than Li Jianhui that Wheelock Plaza is put into operation. Wheelock Plaza has provided nearly 5,000 jobs for Lisboa, which is a huge boost for Lisboa.
You must know that the current total population of Lisboa is less than 250,000. It can be said that one Wheelock Plaza can reduce the unemployment rate in Lisboa by several points.
And with Wheelock Plaza put into operation, Haojiang New City has truly taken on the look of a new city, with the surrounding Haojiang Hotel, Haojiang Entertainment City, Haojiang Racecourse, and Haojiang Garden being developed by Xinhui Real Estate
community.
Moreover, their government will also build Haojiang Hospital and Haojiang primary and secondary schools here to meet the needs of the citizens here. From now on, it will not be an exaggeration to call this place the new center of Lisboa.
After cutting the ribbon and watching a large number of customers walking into Wheelock Plaza, Igaso said with a smile: "Sheng Li, Wheelock Land building Wheelock Plaza here is definitely the wisest decision. Look at today
With its popularity, I believe that Wheelock Plaza will bring huge returns to Wheelock Land."
"I am also very happy to have such popularity. At the same time, I also believe that Wheelock Plaza is a win-win project for us. This square not only brings employment to nearly 5,000 people in Lisboa, but also boosts Lisboa's economic development.
consumption.
We also hope that the government can continue to increase the construction of public infrastructure facilities in Haojiang New City, so that Haojiang New City can truly become a new entertainment center, a new livable center, and a new consumption center in Lisboa."
Although it is clear that infrastructure such as government supporting roads, schools and hospitals are extremely beneficial to the Xinjian Department, after all, the land in Haojiang New City, especially Wheelock Plaza, Haojiang Hotel and other surrounding land, is basically owned by Xinjian Real Estate, and
It is owned by real estate groups such as Ji Real Estate, Chinese Real Estate, Kowloon Construction, and Guanghua Construction.
But Igaso is still willing to support these, because only through large-scale development here can the government obtain more tax revenue.
And unlike England, they are quite single here and know that Lisboa will be returned when the time comes, so they are trying every means to increase taxes and get the benefits in advance.
Before Li Jianhui and others built the Haojiang Hotel, Wheelock Plaza, Haojiang Entertainment City, and Haojiang Racecourse in Taipa, the land here was not worth much at all, and no real estate company was willing to come and develop it.
But now it is completely different, because with these, the land value of Taipa has increased dozens of times. Compared with these land income, building a hospital and two schools is not worth mentioning in terms of government finance.
And because Haojiang Hospital under the Xinjian Department has been put into use, the government will only equip one community hospital here.
Since today happened to be New Year's Day, and on the first day of opening, almost every store had opening discounts, so there was a lot of traffic, and Li Jianhui and others only took a look around.
Zhang Guangwen, whose main focus is currently on real estate, said: "Jianhui, the grand situation of Wheelock Plaza today will inevitably set off a new model of real estate development, and I believe there will be more followers in the future.
Although the initial investment is relatively large, once it is completed, it will be a cornucopia, and the annual profit from rent collection will exceed that of countless real estate companies."
Although only one Wheelock Plaza is currently in operation, everyone at the venue will be calculating their scores. They believe that in the future, Wheelock Land will surely become the largest lessor and the world's top real estate company by relying on Wheelock Plazas.
group.
Moreover, Li Jianhui needs to invest more in the past few years. When more and more Wheelock Plazas are opened in the future, the annual rent collected by the group will be enough to meet the subsequent expansion of Wheelock Plazas.
I'm afraid that when the Hong Kong stock market opens on Monday, Wheelock Land's stock price will surge. After the downturn in the past two years, even Hutchison Land, which currently ranks first in Hong Kong real estate with a market value of HK$18.6 billion, may be
Defeng Land overtook the lead.
Wheelock Land is definitely one of the listed companies that have been miserable in the past two years. Nearly half a year ago, Li Jianhui financed it, and its market value reached HK$16 billion. But now, its market value has basically remained unchanged. As of Thursday
At the afternoon close, the total market value was only HK$16.3 billion.
On the contrary, Hutchison Whampoa, looking at the reserve land here in Xiangjiang, coupled with the development of the Baodao and Japanese markets, has made its market value soar. Even if Li Jianhui did not finance it last time, its market value has successfully reached the top of Xiangjiang Real Estate.
The largest listed company.
After two years of waiting, this time Wheelock Land will turn around and regain its honor as the number one listed real estate company in Hong Kong.
