Chapter 87 Real Estate Construction Chamber of Commerce
Among the three chambers of commerce in Xiangjiang, only one chamber of commerce has members who are all headed by Chinese-owned families, and that is the Xiangjiang Real Estate Construction Chamber of Commerce.
This chamber of commerce was established more than ten years ago. At that time, its main purpose was to unite to fight against the Hong Kong British-funded consortium headed by the four oceans.
Moreover, the purpose of the Chamber of Commerce is to enable Xiangjiang citizens to have homes within their income range, and to improve the living environment and quality of Xiangjiang citizens.
In the past, Li Jianhui had no relationship with this chamber of commerce. After all, he did not own a real estate company.
But after he took control of Wheelock Group, he became the helmsman of one of the top ten real estate companies in Hong Kong.
Huo Yingdong, the founder and president of the Chamber of Commerce, who was already interested in wooing him, personally called him and invited him to join the Xiangjiang Real Estate Construction Chamber of Commerce. Also invited was his brother-in-law Guanghua Construction.
General Manager Zhang Guangwen.
1978 was not only a year of rapid development for Li Jianhui, Guanghua Construction also made rapid progress, not only winning the Huihong Industrial Park construction project and making a profit of nearly 20 million.
Affected by the recovery factor of Xiangjiang real estate, we have also gained a lot in real estate development, with profits of nearly 10 million last year.
Last year, Li Chunxue invested all his dividends from Huihong Gaming Company into Guanghua Jianye.
Every time Li Jianhui withdraws funds from Huihong Game Company, he always takes the form of dividends. Last year, he transferred more than HK$500 million from Huihong Game Company. Although Li Chunxue only had 1% of the shares, he also received 50%.
More than one million Hong Kong dollars in dividends.
Relying on these benefits, Guanghua Construction has directly entered the ranks of second-tier real estate companies in Hong Kong, although it cannot be compared with Jardine Matheson, Swire, Hutchison Whampoa, Wheelock, Sun Hung Kai, Cheung Kong, Hang Lung, Hopewell Properties, Zhou Hing Properties, etc.
, but it has also caught up with new generation real estate companies such as New World Development, Henderson, and Shun Tak.
Kwong Wah Construction is currently initiating the listing process. Dao Heng Bank, Bank of East Asia, and Sun Hung Kai Securities have become its market makers. Because it has 20 hectares of commercial land in Tseung Kwan O, coupled with the company's current abundant cash flow, the valuation is HK$520 million.
.
Once successfully listed, Guanghua Construction will immediately become the seventh largest listed real estate company in Hong Kong. The only ones ahead of it are Sun Hung Kai Properties, Chinachem Group, Hang Lung Group, Cheung Kong Group, Chow Hing Properties, and Hopewell Holdings.
At present, whether it is Wheelock Group or Wharf, the charter king, their business is not just real estate. Wharf's focus is on the Wharf Freight Terminal, while Wheelock Group currently has a troika of real estate, retail and shipping.
Therefore, these two companies cannot simply be counted as real estate companies. When ranking real estate companies, these comprehensive enterprises are often not ranked.
This is why Zhang Guangwen also received an invitation from the Real Estate Construction Chamber of Commerce. Speaking of which, he is more suitable to join this chamber of commerce than Li Jianhui.
After all, Li Jianhui owns many industries, and his core industries are Huihong Game Company and Xinjian Investment Company.
As for the real estate business, Li Jianhui does not seem to pay much attention to it at present. At least for now, Li Jianhui has no intention of entering the real estate industry in a big way, and no development has started in Tseung Kwan O.
On the 26th of the twelfth lunar month, Li Jianhui and Zhang Guangwen arrived at the legendary chamber of commerce headquarters, No. 19 Des Voeux Road Central, Central.
Walking into this place, you will see that all the people coming are big bosses from Xiangjiang, especially in real estate and finance, who have great influence.
Huo Yingdong, Stanley Ho, Li Zhaoji, Hu Yinxiang, Li Chaoren, Zheng Yutong, Wang Kuancheng, Chen Zengxi, Guo Desheng, Fang Runhua, Qiu Degen, He Shanheng, etc.
At the same time, Li Jianhui also saw Wu Guangzhen. It seemed that the chartering king wanted his son-in-law to take over. Not only did Wharf let him manage it, he also asked his son-in-law to come when he entered the Real Estate Chamber of Commerce.
Li Jianhui also saw an acquaintance here, that is Li Guobao. Li Guobao, who owns Chinese real estate, has long been a member of the Real Estate Construction Chamber of Commerce.
He knew that the person who introduced Zhang Guangwen into the club was Li Guobao. If it hadn't been for Li Guobao, Zhang Guangwen might not have hoped to join the club this year.
After all, there are regulations for joining. First of all, your own strength must meet certain requirements, and you must also have an introducer, and you need more than three members to introduce you.
Huo Yingdong, Hu Yinxiang, and Wang Kuancheng were Li Jianhui's introducers. They could not serve as introducers for a second person in the same year.
Originally, Huo Yingdong planned to bring in Li Jianhui this year and then Zhang Guangwen next year.
What he didn't expect was that Li Guobao, Sun Bingshu, and Chen Zefu jointly nominated Zhang Guangwen to join the Chamber of Commerce.
This also forced Huo Yingdong to re-evaluate Li Jianhui's strength. It can be seen that even if Li Jianhui's forces and the East Asia Li family are not in alliance, the two parties are still cooperating.
One side is one of the four established families, and the other side is a newly rising top power. If the two sides form an alliance, it will inevitably cause a huge shock.
Li Jianhui and Zhang Guangwen came to Li Guobao's circle together, and they expressed their gratitude to several people in this circle.
Li Guobao smiled and said: "Guangwen, Jianhui, you're welcome. You can join in because of your own strength. We are just a little effort."
"We have noted down the details of several of you. If anything happens in the future, we will do our best within our capabilities."
What these few people want is Li Jianhui's words. Li Jianhui's battle with Wheelock made it clear to all the major families in Hong Kong that in business, no one can stop this young man from soaring into the sky.
They also hope to establish a good relationship with Li Jianhui, and maybe they can cooperate somewhere in the future.
Li Guobao approached them to serve as Zhang Guangwen's introducers, and they agreed without hesitation. Without paying any benefits, they could make Zhang Guangwen and even Li Jianhui owe him and others a favor. Such a good thing can be said to be difficult to achieve even with a lantern.
try to find.
As the start time of the meeting was approaching and all the people attending the meeting had arrived, Li Jianhui found that the vice president sitting at the top looked at him in an unfriendly way.
He just responded with a smile. This month, the Hing Ngai An and Hop Sing Hop luxury cruise ships were put into operation one after another, causing the Lisboa Tourism and Entertainment Company's business to become even more bleak.
If it weren't for the strength behind these three companies, I'm afraid Lisboa Tourism and Entertainment Company would have done something underhanded.
It can be said that the market in that area was disrupted by Li Jianhui's plan. Now not only several major associations in Hong Kong are playing with luxury cruise ships, but also some associations in Baodao and Southeast Asia are following the same example.
Li Jianhui was cutting off people's money. No wonder the other party looked at him with unfriendly eyes.
Fortunately, the other party is only the vice president and cannot act arbitrarily. Otherwise, it would be difficult for Li Jianhui and Zhang Guangwen to enter the Real Estate Construction Chamber of Commerce.
As the meeting continued to progress, Li Jianhui, Zhang Guangwen and Wu Guangzhen successfully passed the membership vote and officially became members of the Real Estate Construction Chamber of Commerce.
However, compared to Wu Guangzhen's unanimous vote, neither Li Jianhui nor Zhang Guangwen received unanimous votes. They received one negative vote and five abstentions respectively.
