The Most Powerful Tycoon Reborn In Xiangjiang

At this time, Changshi in Lijiacheng hadn't bought the Chinese store yet, so Changshi's headquarters was naturally not in the Chinese store.

In the current Changshi Building's own office, Li Jiacheng is processing the documents in his hand.

Everyone knows that the later richest man in Xiangjiang made his fortune with plastic flowers, but in fact, in 1958, Li Jiacheng had already set foot in the real estate industry with the benefits obtained from plastic flowers.

At that time, Li Jiacheng built a 12-storey industrial building in the north corner of Xiangjiang with the one million yuan he earned from the plastic flower business. As a result, the building had not yet been completed, and the tenants had already come to ask for rent!

Then in 60 years, Li Jiacheng once again asked for directions and built a second industrial building in Chai Wan. Like the last time, before the roof was capped, the tenants came to ask for rent again!

However, these two buildings are experimental. At that time, Lijiacheng's main business was still plastic.

Mr. Li is well aware that funds are hard to come by, so he does not dare to show his strength hastily. He mainly builds houses with his own funds, and borrows from the bank for the shortfall.

At that time, real estate developers followed Huo Tsar's example and sold uncompleted properties. Li knew that this was a shortcut to big business, but he thought it was still risky.

At that time, there were also a group of professional "margin brokers", relying on bank mortgages to speculate on uncompleted properties. Li believed that such behavior was too risky-this was not the right way to do business.

At that time, Li Jiacheng's style of work seemed a bit too conservative at this time, so he did not make much progress in the real estate industry during the first few years of his career.

The real estate industry is booming, and real estate developers and bankers join hands to push the increasingly prosperous real estate industry to madness.

As a result, the bank run wave in early 1965 caused many banks to close down, be merged, or survive. The domino effect affected all industries in Hong Kong. The real estate industry, which was "favored" by the banks, was the first to suffer, and fell into the first serious crisis after the war. .

At this time, Li Jiacheng's advantages were revealed. He did not rely too much on the bank, so the damage was minimal.

At that time, Li Jiacheng said: "Seek development while maintaining stability, and never forget stability while developing. I take this as my purpose."

In 1967, under the influence of a certain unspeakable event in his hometown, Xiangjiang resisted the British and resisted the violence, which later turned into violence with violence.

Xiangjiang real estate has a price but no market, and many extremely cheap properties are uninterested.

Those with foresight will take advantage of low land properties. The real estate developers who will become big in the future will all "take advantage of this god-given opportunity", and Lijiacheng is naturally one of them.

In 1968, the situation stabilized and real estate recovered, and later developed at an extraordinary speed.

The "bargains" in the hands of Li Jiacheng suddenly became worth a hundred times, rising day by day. In the early 1970s, real estate formed another climax.

Lee's has begun to take shape. In 1958, it had a building area of ​​120,000 square feet, reaching 350,000 square feet in 1968.

In 1971, Li Jiacheng established Changjiang Real Estate Co., Ltd., which means that Li will fade out of the plastic industry and specialize in real estate.

In 1972, the stock market was full of bullishness, and Cheung Kong (Group) Co., Ltd. rode a bull to go public. The authorized share capital is 200 million Hong Kong dollars, the paid-in capital is 84 million Hong Kong dollars, divided into 42 million shares, each share has a par value of 2 Hong Kong dollars, and a premium of 1 Hong Kong dollar. Within 25 hours of listing, the stock more than doubled.

With his keen eyesight, Li Jiacheng had already seen the crisis in the Hong Kong stock market before the stock market crash, so during that time, Changshi sold new shares frantically. But Cheung Kong itself has a huge amount of cash.

Li Jiacheng used the funds to buy back the shares of Changshi and increase his controlling stake. On the other hand, he also set his sights on the now cheap land.

At this time, Li Jiacheng's eyes are on the Chinatown in Central!

China House is located in Queen's Road, Central. It was built in 1924 and now belongs to Li Guanchun, the Chinese real estate of the Feng Pingshan family.

Li Jiacheng understands that if he wants to make his Changshi a top real estate company in Xiangjiang, then he must let the citizens of Xiangjiang know and be familiar with Changshi!

And the Chinese line is the best choice.

In addition, at this time, Li Jiacheng not only set his sights on the acquisition of the Central Chinese Bank, which has a long history in Xiangjiang, but Li Jiacheng is actively negotiating with the Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce.

The Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce wants to enter the Xiangjiang market, and the development of Lijiacheng also needs the support of the bank. It can be said that both parties get what they need, but the negotiation process must be very long.

But Li Jiacheng doesn't care about this time, as long as he can get the support of the Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce, this is already a very successful thing for Li Jiacheng.

While Li Jiacheng was thinking about this matter, his secretary knocked on the door and walked in, holding a copy of today's "Zhenbao" evening paper in his hand!

As the sales of "Zhenbao"'s morning papers in Xiangjiang gradually increased, Gu Chengxi had already set his sights on the distribution of the evening papers!

"Oh, today's newspaper is here!" Li Jiacheng saw the newspaper in the secretary's hand, took off his glasses, and smiled as usual.

But at this time, Li Jiacheng's secretary couldn't laugh anymore, and excitedly said to Li Jiacheng: "Chairman, something big happened!"

Li Jiacheng was stunned for a moment. His secretary knew that even if he was delegated to other small companies, he could become a high-level existence. Now he looked excited, which made Li Jiacheng a little suspicious. What happened? Things can make the other party so shocked.

"What's the matter?" Li Jiacheng asked in a deep voice.

Like Li Jiacheng, Zheng Yutong, another big crocodile among Xiangjiang real estate developers, is called Sha Dantong by Hong Kong people at this time, and his New World Center has not yet been completed, so now the headquarters of New World Real Estate is located in Bohe, Causeway Bay. Heung Kong Mansion located in the Golden Triangle of Street, Paterson Street and George Street.

This building was originally a New World Real Estate project.

It was also because of the incident in 1968, when people in Xiangjiang sold off real estate frantically, but bought gold and jewelry frantically.

This made Zheng Yutong, who was running Chow Tai Fook at that time, a fortune, and then Zheng Yutong made the same choice as Li Jiacheng, taking advantage of the cold winter of Xiangjiang Real Estate to purchase a large amount of high-quality land.

It is precisely because of his behavior that Hong Kong people call him "Shark Dantong".

It can be seen from this that whether it is Sha Dantong or Li Jiacheng, the two have similar starting points in the development of the real estate industry. The only difference may be that Sha Dantong's father-in-law is richer than Li Jiacheng's father-in-law!

Both of them were able to make a fortune, and it was because they found a wife who was richer than themselves

At this time, like Li Jiacheng, Sha Dantong also shifted his focus from the jewelry industry to the real estate industry.

In 1970, Zheng Yutong bought the former site of "Blue Chimney" in Tsim Sha Tsui, Kowloon from Swire Pacific at an astonishingly high price of 137 million Hong Kong dollars.

Blue Chimney is a steamship company in Taizhan, and the site is just a dilapidated wharf and factory buildings.

Zheng has successively established New World Center, Regent Store, New World Hotel, a large shopping center with tens of thousands of square feet, and thousands of commercial units on this site.

At this time, there are still many construction sites here.

In 1985, Zheng Yutong announced excitedly that the average occupancy rate of New World Hotel was 94%, with a turnover of 147 million Hong Kong dollars; the occupancy rate of Regent Hotel was 90%, with a turnover of 347 million.

In addition, the annual rental income of commercial units exceeds HK$100 million.

Putting all these aside, the value of this land alone has increased by more than 10 times in 10 years!

In the same year when he bought the Blue Chimney site, Zheng Yutong invited friends He Shanhang, He Tian, ​​Guo Desheng, Yang Zhiyun and others to form a joint venture New World Development Co., Ltd.

Cheng is the chairman of the board of directors.

In 1972, the stock market was in the best bull market since the opening of the port. Zheng's "borrowed bull" to go public, raising 160 million Hong Kong dollars.

At this time, most of New World's real estate projects are rent-collecting commercial buildings. As a result, even though the Xiangjiang stock market crash has hit New World's stock price, New World itself has no major problems.

Like Li Jiacheng, Zheng Yutong was also a workaholic at this time. Even when it was time to get off work, he still did not leave the company.

Back in 1968, when land prices in Xiangjiang were broken, Zheng Yutong bought it at the bottom and made a huge profit. Now Zheng Yutong also does not want to let go of this opportunity.

During the break, Zheng Yutong poured himself a cup of coffee, thinking about the current situation in Xiangjiang.

At this time, he was a little envious of his old friend Guo Desheng.

If anyone in the entire Xiangjiang business community has benefited from this stock market crash, it can be seen at a glance, and even envied, it must be Chu Huan.

With less than 100 million in cash, Jiahu Textile with an asset value of 700 million was acquired. No businessman would not be envious of this kind of acquisition like a snake swallowing a whale.

However, there was no intersection between him and Chu Huan, so he forgot about it after envying him. The real reason why Zheng Yutong envied Guo Desheng was that Zheng Yutong had already learned from Guo Desheng that Chu Huan had already sold the property at the price of his current assets. Huhua Real Estate sold 5% of the shares to Guo Desheng.

Although Huhua Real Estate currently does not have many lands, it depends on who owns the company.

Zheng Yutong analyzed Chu Huan's situation, Jiahu Textile's factory site in Tsuen Wan, Jiahu Building in Central, and Shanhai Cinemas theaters in various areas of Xiangjiang.

These lands may be converted into real estate projects by Chu Huan in the future. If calculated in this way, the land reserves in Chu Huan's hands are already comparable to those listed real estate companies.

As long as these lands are developed in the future, the valuation of Huhua Real Estate will definitely double.

As one of the shareholders of Huhua Real Estate, Guo Desheng's income naturally needless to say, and Guo Desheng can even take advantage of this relationship to involve Sun Hung Kai Properties in these land development projects.

It's enviable just thinking about it!

"Maybe it's time to meet this Xiangjiang rising star!"

Zheng Yutong couldn't help preaching.

Just when Zheng Yutong had such thoughts, his secretary, like Li Jiacheng's secretary, walked into Zheng Yutong's office with a shocked expression on his face, also holding a copy of the "Zhenbao" evening paper in his hand!

"Boss, something serious happened!"

"It's really a big deal!"

In Gu Chengxi's office at the headquarters of "True News", Gu Chengxi, who already knew the truth of the matter, still couldn't believe that this matter was reported by his own "True News"!

In Gu Chengxi's hand, he was holding a copy of the "True Pao" evening paper that was just released today!

The headline on the front page reads impressively.

"Since the opening of Xiangjiang Port, China City, the largest real estate project of the Chinese consortium, has been officially established!

According to the exact news obtained by this newspaper, Tianhai Real Estate, jointly established by Xiangjiang Huhua Real Estate Company and Xiangjiang Sun Hung Kai Real Estate Company, has reached a cooperation intention with the Hong Kong government and will participate in the project of reclamation of new towns and mountains. Tianhai Real Estate will invest 2000 million Hong Kong dollars to purchase 8 million square feet of land for land reclamation and mountain removal in Sha Tin New Town. The project will officially start in August this year and is expected to be completed in February next year.

After the completion, Tianhai Real Estate will return 4 million square feet of land to the Hong Kong government for the construction of public housing and infrastructure, and the other 4 million square feet will be purchased by "Fantasy Comics", of which 1 million square feet will be used to build two buildings that can accommodate 10,000 people each. The large factory for workers, and another 3 million square feet, will be independently developed and constructed by Tianhai Real Estate.

It is reported that Chinatown has invested a total of 1 billion Hong Kong dollars. The whole plan includes 70 residential buildings with a total of 15,000 residential units, which can accommodate about 68,000 people.

In order to coordinate with the overall development, Chinatown will refer to the early large-scale housing estates such as Mei Foo New Village, etc., and build 4 independent multi-purpose shopping centers in the heart of the city, namely the 6-storey First City Center and Fuye Mall, Jia'an Mall, Gongle Mall.

At the same time, banks, restaurants, grocery stores, butchers, bakeries, pharmacies, clinics, tailors, laundries, etc. will be introduced into the city to supply the daily needs of residents.

In addition, there are 7 kindergartens, 3 private middle schools and 4 primary and secondary schools in the estate, as well as various entertainment facilities such as theaters and bowling alleys.

The whole plan will be divided into five phases and ten phases, and it is estimated that the construction will start in May next year and will be officially completed in 1979."

This is the headline on the front page of today's "Zhenbao" Evening News!

At noon, Gu Chengxi received a call from Chu Huan and learned of this incident. At that time, Gu Chengxi fell into huge self-doubt.

This kind of thing that can shake the whole Xiangjiang trembling was actually led by Chu Huan.

The most important thing is that before this, there was no news about this incident!

She didn't know how Chu Huan completed the project, but she knew Chu Huan's net worth!

Previously, "True Daily" published an exclusive interview with Chu Huan, in which Gu Chengxi also calculated Chu Huan's net worth!

A net worth of more than nine billion!

Now Chu Huan actually presided over the development of a super city within a city project with a billion project?

How could such a situation not surprise Gu Chengxi!

At this time, she really wanted to find Chu Huan in person, and ask him face to face, how did she manage such a large project!

Obviously, Gu Chengxi also understands that Chu Huan definitely has no time to talk to himself at this time!

"You don't know what kind of sensation will be caused in Xiangjiang once this report is released?"

Gu Chengxi looked at the "True News" in his hand and didn't know what to say for a while.

sensation!

Naturally, it caused a huge sensation!

Hang Lung Properties, inside Chen Zengxi's office!

Chen Zengxi held the "True Pao" that he had snatched from the secretary's hand, and stood there, looking at the content one by one.

Chen Qizong was standing behind Chen Zengxi. At this moment, Chen Qizong clenched his hands tightly, his veins were protruding, his eyes were wide open, and his anger seemed to be able to spurt out of them at any time.

Just now, his father told him that Chu Huan's weakness lies in Huhua Real Estate.

As a result, Chu Huan turned around and shot a Wang Bo.

After reading this report, Chen Zengxi slumped down on his chair.

Panting heavily, unable to speak for a long time.

"Chu Huan is courting death!"

Chen Qizong suddenly found a reason for himself, and then said angrily.

Chen Zengxi didn't answer him, and didn't even look up at Chen Qizong.

Chen Qizong didn't notice his father's situation, the words just now seemed to give him a huge psychological hint.

"This Chu Huan has come up with such a big project all of a sudden, how could his Huhua Real Estate have the ability, and this is a billion Hong Kong dollar project, a super city within a city that can accommodate tens of thousands of people, what will happen then? There may be so many people in charge!"

"The reason why Mei Foo New Village can succeed is because of their geographical location. Now the new town is obviously a newly developed area, who would buy a house there when they have nothing to do.

At that time, Chu Huan will definitely lose the bottom line! "

In fact, Chen Zengxi just told him that if he wanted to deal with Chu Huan, he had to make Chu Huan invest more funds in real estate projects, and now this project appeared!

"You're a fool!" Chen Zengxi finally couldn't help but reprimanded his son aloud. At this time, he was completely opposite to himself just now!

"Can you take your jealousy of Chu Huan out of your mind, and think about this question normally, are your eyes only on that super city within the city?

Didn't you see the news about the factory with 20,000 people in the newspaper?

The workers in those two factories will be the absolute main buyers of houses in Chu Huan's China City in the future. By then, the various shops in China City will be the places where their family members work, and this China City will become the place Chu Huan walks into. A stepping stone for Hong Kong's top personalities! "

Speaking of this, Chen Zengxi changed his previous analysis of Chu Huan, and said seriously and solemnly: "From now on, remember that from now on you are not allowed to walk with that trash Michael Keswick again, and do anything That kind of indiscriminate behavior, all behaviors, only allow competition in the commercial field, understand!"

Chen Qizong looked at his father in disbelief. He didn't expect Chen Zengxi's attitude to change so quickly.

"Daddy, even if Chu Huan manages this Zhonghua City, we shouldn't worry about him!"

He still couldn't let go of his jealousy towards Chu Huan!

But Chen Zengxi was too lazy to tell him these things at this time, but said something to Chen Qizong that Chen Qizong could not accept.

"Don't go anywhere tonight, wait for my notice, we must find Chu Huan earlier and seek cooperation with him!"

As I said before, the stock price of Chen Zengxi's Hang Lung Real Estate has fallen sharply, and the company's funds have been unable to return for a long time. Now, following the media reports, the news of Chu Huan's Super China City has been made public.

It will definitely cause a sensation in Hong Kong immediately. Guo Desheng of Sun Hung Kai Properties has seen the wealth hidden in it, and knows that it will increase the stock price of his company.

And Chen Zengxi can also see it.

Looking at those real estate companies that went public in the same year as himself, they are using the cash from selling new shares during the bull market to buy land in various districts of Xiangjiang, Chen Zengxi's eyes are almost green with envy.

But what makes people scratch their heads is that at this time, Hang Lung Properties really has no funds to compete with these real estate companies for land!

At this time, Chu Huan, who Chen Zengxi wanted to help his son deal with, suddenly announced such a big news, which made Chen Zengxi see hope.

If Hang Lung Properties can join this plan at this time, it will definitely be a heavy stimulus for the current share price of Hang Lung Properties.

And in this case, Chen Zengxi can turn over some funds to compete for land with Xiangjiang's real estate company!

so!

He must go aboard Chu Huan's big ship!

Not only Chen Zengxi had this idea, but Li Jiacheng, who had just read the newspaper, also had this idea.

"Is this Chu Huan really only 20 years old?"

Li Jiacheng asked in an inconceivable tone while holding the "True News" in his hand tightly.

How much is Changshi's assets worth now? It's only five or six million Hong Kong dollars, right?

This already made Li Jiacheng very satisfied, but when he saw the news about Zhonghua City in the newspaper, he realized that people in this world are really different.

What were you doing when you were 20?

Li Jiacheng thought of it. When he was 20 years old, he had just been promoted to the general manager of the plastic flower factory.

He doesn't even have his own property yet!

And now, 20-year-old Chu Huan has begun to lead a super project of 1 billion Hong Kong dollars!

Such exclamation, Li Jiacheng did not last too long, but called Guo Desheng immediately.

He and Chen Zengxi thought the same, no matter what, he had to find a way to join this plan.

But he and Chu Huan have no friendship at all, they just met each other at a banquet, so he needs to find a middleman, and this middleman is his senior in the real estate industry, Guo Desheng!

But when Li Jiacheng dialed Guo Desheng's phone, the only sound came was that the line was busy. Li Jiacheng put down the phone and walked back and forth in his office.

Less than a minute later, Li Jiacheng called Guo Desheng's office again, but the result was still busy!

After repeating this several times, Li Jiacheng failed to find Guo Desheng after all.

The secretary of Li Jiacheng looked at Li Jiacheng's behavior, and sighed silently in his heart. It was the first time he saw Li Jiacheng so excited after he had been with Li Jiacheng for so many years!

"Don't wait, prepare your car and go to Jiahu Textile immediately!"

Li Jiacheng suddenly decided that he couldn't wait any longer. At this time, there must be countless Xiangjiang real estate companies wanting to find Chu Huan or Guo Desheng.

No matter where the project is placed, it is impossible for everyone to participate in it. I have to race against time!

Since Guo Desheng could not be found as a middleman, he had no choice but to find Chu Huan in person!

The secretary didn't dare to delay, and hurried to prepare the car.

And the person on the phone with Guo Desheng was actually Zheng Yutong from New World!

The two have been friends for many years. Even the establishment of New World has Sun Hung Kai's personal shares, which shows the friendship between the two.

Anyone with a discerning eye can see the huge benefits brought by this plan, and Zheng Yutong is naturally not immune.

So after reading the contents of the newspaper, Zheng Yutong called Guo Desheng immediately, a few seconds faster than Li Jiacheng.

"Brother, you really scare people to death when you make a move, and you actually teamed up with Chu Huan to make such a big news!"

Guo Desheng was very happy at this time, he laughed and said: "Actually, I didn't think of this plan. It was Bingxiang who helped Chu Huan think of it. Our Sun Hung Kai just got on this ride by the way!"

Zheng Yutong sighed: "This is not a ride with the wind, it's a plane with the wind with the wind!"

Guo Desheng said: "Brother Zheng, I know what you are calling at this time, but for this project, our Sun Hung Kai is just eating the bonus brought by the good relationship with A Huan before. If you want To join this project, A Huan still needs to make a decision!"

Zheng Yutong said: "Since my brother already knows, then I won't go around in circles. As long as my brother can help me make an appointment with Chu Huan alone tonight, I will handle the rest by myself!"

For this kind of request, Guo Desheng naturally did not refuse, and said: "There is no problem, I will call A Huan in a while, but you should understand that if you New World also want to join this plan, you must pay for it." Some price!"

Zheng Yutong immediately said: "As long as you can participate, you can ask Chu Huan for any conditions!"

Guo Desheng wasn't surprised by Zheng Yutong's decision. If he changed himself, he would definitely have the same attitude.

Out of the friendship between the two, Guo Desheng still reminded Zheng Yutong: "I talked with A Huan before, he is still very optimistic about the development of the new world, this time I think if you want him to agree, his One of the requirements will definitely be to become a shareholder of New World!"

Zheng Yutong laughed, and said: "If this is the case, it will be even better. From now on, we will be a family. I have no objections!"

After receiving this answer from Zheng Yutong, the two discussed the matter of Chinatown again before Guo Desheng hung up the phone.

Looking at Guo Bingxiang who was sitting across from him, he said, "Call A Huan, and tell us that Zheng Yutong has already called us!"

Chu Huan and Guo Desheng had discussed this plan of China City before it was made public. This matter could cause the major real estate companies in Xiangjiang to flock to it, and the two also discussed some possibilities with these real estate companies.

That's what Chu Huan said, if Zheng Yutong from New World contacts Guo Desheng, he can ask Guo Desheng to call him!

Guo Bingxiang naturally knew about the discussion between Chu Huan and Guo Desheng. Hearing what Guo Desheng said, he immediately said that he would call Chu Huan now!

At this time, Chu Huan was not in Jiahu Building, but in a villa in Repulse Bay, so if Li Jiacheng went to Jiahu Building to block Chu Huan, he would be out of luck.

After answering Guo Bingxiang's call, Chu Huan said that he could meet Zheng Yutong tonight!

It’s gone today, thank you everyone~ The next chapter will be at twelve o’clock tomorrow morning~
