Reborn Tycoon Rise

Hong Kong Island, Taikoo Shing Sales Center.

As soon as Xu Zhi walked in, he was pulled by several middle-aged people of both sexes:

"Boss, do you want to buy a house?"

"Brother, I have the best quality property here, 400 square feet with two bedrooms and one living room, and 600 square feet with three bedrooms and one living room. Are you interested?"

"Little brother, I am qualified for lottery. If you want, 10,000 Hong Kong dollars is enough!"

…………

Xu Zhi ignored them, squeezed in and walked to the sales office inside.

A batch of real estate projects were opened in Taikoo Shing a week ago, including Jade House, which overlooks the harbor directly. This triggered a large number of real estate speculators and intermediaries to intervene, and the good projects were almost sold out.

After shopping around, Xu Zhi inquired for a long time, only to find out that the good floors and apartment types had long been sold out, and even if some subsequent off-plan properties were available, they would have to wait for more than half a year.

I had no choice but to run to the door and wait for the same group of intermediaries to come to the door again.

This is the case when it comes to buying things, especially houses and cars. Whoever takes the initiative loses priority.

After casually watching for a while, a slightly fat middle-aged man came over and said, "Brother, I think you also want to buy a house. I have all types of apartments here. I don't know what kind of house I want to buy."

Xu Zhidao: "What's the price for 700 square feet?"

The fat man said: "It depends on the location. Generally speaking, it is 250,000 Hong Kong dollars. If it is a house with a better location or a sunny location, it is estimated to be more than 300,000 Hong Kong dollars. How many people are there in my brother's family?"

Xu Zhi said casually: "Seven or eight!"

The fat man smiled and said: "If it's 700 square feet, it's okay to squeeze in seven or eight people, but it's quite crowded. I think my brother should be able to do it. I have a 1,260-square-foot mansion in my hand. It faces Victoria Harbor and is the entire Taikoo Shing." I wonder if my brother is interested in the house within a house?"

Xu Zhi asked: "How do you know what I have is okay?"

The fat man smiled and said: "We have been in this business for so many years. As long as a person comes in and stays for a minute, I will know whether he really wants to buy a house or just comes to take a look. Brother, you can see that he is serious about buying a house, so I tell him This mansion of yours, otherwise, if it were anyone else, I wouldn’t even bother to tell you.”

"So that's it." Xu Zhi understood. No wonder there was no salesperson to introduce him when he just went to look at computers. But one time he really wanted to buy it, and he had just entered the door, and there was service. It turned out that the routine was so deep.

The fat man said: "My surname is Qin, I don't know what the boss's surname is."

Xu Zhidao: "My surname is Xu."

Fatty: "Boss Xu, are you interested in going to see the house on site? It's definitely worth the money."

Xu Zhi nodded and said: "Okay, let's go and have a look!"

The two left the sales office and went directly to the community. The house was an existing house. Naturally, it could not be a recently sold property. It might have been ransacked a long time ago and they were ready to cash out.

Xiangjiang is a very magical city. The floor area ratio of the buildings here is horribly high. In later generations, if any community in the mainland has a floor area ratio of more than 5, it can be called an inhumane community.

But in Xiangjiang, it is a normal image. The floor area ratio of some residential areas is often as high as 8-12. However, Taikoo Shing is much better, with 2.3 million square feet of land, 50 residential buildings built, a 3 million square feet shopping mall, Taikoo Shing Center, and A primary school and a small hospital are located in a prime location. There are 40 acres (more than 20,000 square meters:) of land in the middle of the entire community that have been opened up as gardens and children's playgrounds. There is a special parking lot underground to divert people and vehicles. , will be the first-class residential building on Hong Kong Island in the future.

The residential buildings in Taikoo Shing are all between 28 and 32 floors. Xu Zhi and his wife came to the Poyang Building, the northernmost building in the community. The house they wanted to see was on the 22nd floor, which is the golden section of the floors.

In Xiangjiang, a 700-foot (less than 70-square-meter) house can be divided into three rooms. You can imagine how small each room is. The 1,260-foot mansion Xu Zhi saw has 2 bathrooms and 5 rooms. The two master bedrooms are larger and the other two are smaller (for the servants:), and the other one can only be used as a small study room. If there is a bed, there will be no other space. The house is really nice and well-decorated. , you can move in directly as long as you buy some furniture.

"What do you think, Boss Xu?" Fatty Qin asked with a smile. Although Xu Zhi acted indifferent, he knew countless people that he was just pretending.

Xu Zhi looked at the fat man's wretched expression and said, "What's the price of this house?"

When Fatty Qin heard the inquiry, he smiled and said: "Our company provides all services. Boss, you only need to pay and sign a power of attorney. We will be responsible for all subsequent procedures. This house costs 520,000 in total."

1,260 square feet and 520,000, which is almost 400 per square foot after deducting handling fees and other factors. This is much more expensive than other floors, but it is much better than others in terms of location and area.

Seeing that Xu Zhi was interested, Fatty Qin added fire and said, "If Boss Xu is worried about funding, it's not a problem. Our company provides a series of loan services. You only need to pay 20% of the down payment."

Xu Zhi shook his head and said: "No, if I want a loan, I will go through the bank."

Fatty Qin smiled and said, "Boss Xu misunderstood. We are a real estate agency, not a finance company. Your loan is also from a bank. We just cooperate with the bank and can facilitate some procedures."

Xu Zhi nodded and asked, "How much is the interest on the loan?"

Fatty Qin said: "12% a year."

"It's so expensive, I remember the preferential interest rate is 10%!" Xu Zhi frowned. It was the late 1970s, just a few years after the oil crisis. Credit was tight around the world and interest rates were very high. If we waited until 1981, building mortgages would The rate can be as high as 21%.

Fatty Qin smiled and said: "Boss Xu also knows that this is a preferential interest rate. The billboard in Taikoo Shing also said that the price starts at 200 Hong Kong dollars per foot, but who can buy it at this 'starting' price?"

Xu Zhi smiled and said, "You guys have so many tricks."

Fatty Qin smiled and nodded and asked, "Is Xu Sheng interested?"

Xu Zhidao: "I can buy it, but I have to pay the full price. You can tell me the lowest price. If possible, we can trade it immediately."

Fatty Qin’s eyes lit up, he’s rich! He did not immediately quote the lowest price, but said: "Since Boss Xu is not short of money, why not get it all at once? I also have a villa in Repulse Bay, which only costs 2 million Hong Kong dollars. Many big stars and rich people live there." over there."

Xu Zhi smiled and said: "If I talk about buying your villa again, will you still recommend me to buy a building?"

Fatty Qin said awkwardly: "Xu Sheng, you are also an investor. You should understand that Hong Kong Island is so big and there is almost no room for development. Villas are the real rare things to live in!"

Xu Zhidao: "I really don't need a villa for the time being, just this one. I like to see Victoria Harbor very much. Can you give me a real price?"

Fatty Qin also understood what Xu Zhi meant, so he said, "Let's take off the odd part, 500,000. What does Xu Sheng think?"

Xu Zhi smiled and said: "450,000."

Fatty Qin smiled bitterly and said, "Xu Sheng, you are very good at bargaining. If this house were worth 450,000 yuan, I would buy it myself if I borrowed the money."

Xu Zhidao: "Then tell me, this is the full payment, you can receive it directly, and the cooperation is good. I will come to you when I buy a house in the future, which will be beneficial to everyone."

Fatty Qin thought for a while and said: "485,000, this is the lowest price. It won't be any cheaper."

"You are the only one who believes in me." Xu Zhi complained in his heart. This house should have been purchased when Taikoo Shing opened in 1975. At that time, housing prices in Hong Kong had just begun to recover. It is said that the Taikoo Group also arranged for employees of its own company to avoid being left out. I went to buy at a discount, and what was launched was a better house type and location. During that time, the price of the house was about HK$200.

Of course, you can't look past the price of a house. The average price in Taikoo Shing is now almost 300. The size and location of the house in front of you meet Xu Zhi's requirements. It is estimated that there are not many houses for sale in Taikoo Shing that have this condition. However, the other party's price is still a bit high.

But Xu Zhi decided to buy it anyway. Now the housing prices in Xiangjiang have been rising. Many people queue up 48 hours a day for the opening of many properties. It is completely a seller's market.

"In this case, 480,000, I want this property." Xu Zhi agreed: "When can I get the real estate certificate?"

When Fatty Qin heard that he had completed such a large transaction, he smiled and said: "Boss Xu, you paid in full, so you don't need a lot of bank operations. We will be responsible for everything. The real estate certificate will be issued within 7 days.

Xu Zhidao: "Okay, let's go to your company store to sign the agreement!"
